Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Boys Next Door in Books
Feb 13, 2018
Hot steamy action from the first page but soon wears a bit thin as there's more sex than storyline to the book and I'm finding I'm scanning through the sex scenes the further I get in to the book just in the hope of finding some thing more interesting. This would have been a good book if a little more thought had gone into the writing, it needs more depth. I disliked the crudeness of some of the descriptions and it could have been more sensual but THEN, just when I think this is going to be a standard read the last couple of chapters are captivating. They have feeling and emotion, everything the rest of the book didn't have and I'm now feeling robbed that the rest of the book wasn't the same.
In the end the last few chapter more than make up for the rest, this is an adult read and I did enjoy it in the end.
3.5 Stars

I'm 19% finished with this book and I have to put it down. My life is too short to read books that I cannot get into.
I was really excited to read this book. The advertising was spectacular and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to read a "Harry Potter with millenials." Unfortunately this book has fell so flat I'm having to DNF it. The characters seem to be extremely chiche & their descriptions were just awful. If this is supposed to be adult fiction you really don't need to have a description being "the hot" guy. I would expect more from any author.
The plot line seemed interesting enough but the writing has ruined any chance for me to enjoy it. It reads like a mix between young adult and middle grade fiction. This would be all fine and dandy if it wasn't being advertised as adult fiction.
All in all, I would not recommend this book.

Alicia S (193 KP) rated Guardian Angel (Angel's Halo MC #3) in Books

I absolutely fell in love with this series from page 1! Incredible MC series that follows so many great characters where the guys are all just a bunch of big softies for their women. ;-) I love everyone in this group.. the brothers are hot, tough, alpha bikers who would do anything to protect their women and families. The ladies have all gone through so much and are all so different but all such interesting characters each with crazy stories and pasts of their own.
I've said this in past reviews throughout this series but what I love the most about it is that it follows everyone.. one book does not just cover one character or couple, but you are able to follow along with everyone's story throughout. LOVE IT! I've laughed and cried, feeling so close to these characters and am so sad I've finally reached the end. CAN'T WAIT for more books in this series!! HIGHLY recommended!!

Characters (2 more)
Unpredictable
Smut Scenes
Twists & turns that are sure to keep you guessing
I was first introduced to Armada West when I read her vampire series war/SONG and I definitely fell in love with her writing style. I was a little hesitant to read this one simply because it was in a different style than the last one. When the Gloves Come Off is a contemporary romance that has basically everything you could want. It has hot sex scenes, decently developed characters, mafia men, shoot outs and a plot that will keep you guessing.
I'm an avid romance reader and I find that many of the books I have read are predictable, this was not one of them. There were twists and turns and many times I wanted to throw my book down because one of the twists came out of left field.
All in all, I enjoyed this book. If you haven't read Armada West, I highly recommend it!

HLD (99 KP) rated Amazon Fire TV Stick in Tech
Nov 22, 2018
You can stream content easily (3 more)
Various apps are supported
No loud noises coming from the device
Alexa is a nice touch, although a bit of a gimmick to me personally
It can feel quite slow at times (1 more)
Some of the apps designs are often trudged and unappealing. But that's not the devices fault
Good price for a good product
I use the fire stick every day and it has relived much stress from my life. I grew up watching things on my laptop, then xbox 360, then ps4. So, to have something that isn't constantly blowing hot air in to the room is pure relief.
Typing in to the search bar is a pain in the a*** when you use the accompanying remote, so I downloaded the Fire TV app and it has made the experience a hell of a lot easier. Especially considering my phone is always by my bedside, and the remote always seems to get lost in the sheets.

Kim Pook (101 KP) rated The Babysitter (2017) in Movies
Aug 13, 2019
Proper cheesefest
I put this movie off for ages as it didn't look that great from trailers, but i kept getting drawn back to it so thought I may as well give it a go.
Basically the movie is about a young teen called Cole - i use the word teen loosely as i swear he only looks about 12!- who has a hot babysitter. She's kind, sweet and Cole enjoys her being around. However, one night he decides to stay up and see what she gets upto when he's asleep, turns out she's part of a satanic cult. When she finds out that he knows, her and her cult friends set out to try and kill Cole and it turns into a cross between scream, scary movie and home alone.
It has a lot of tongue in cheek humour and not to be taken seriously, if you want an easy watch with still plenty of gore give it a go.

I am not a member of the RBG cult, and I honestly have no idea as to why it even exists. But, I was kind of bored yesterday and needed to get out of the house, so I decided to go see this.
I was equally bored. It started out with RBG at Harvard in law school, and, guess what? The Dean of the school and a lot of dudes were misogynist , color me shocked (heavy sarcasm). This film covers about 20 years, and dragged like it covered that amount of time. I think Felicity Jones did a good job with what she was given and her period clothing was one of my favorite things. How the court cases went weren't really a secret, so I wasn't sure why people were gasping during it. It was bizarre.
Honestly, the best part of the film was how smoking hot Armie Hammer looked.
In short, an over-hyped film, about an over-hyped figure.

Merissa (12934 KP) rated Rematch (Chinese Zodiac Romance, #1.5) in Books
Dec 17, 2018
I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review.
As I fell in love with all the Chinese mythology that Rachael Slate put down in book 1, Trancing The Tiger, it came as no surprise to me that I loved that aspect of this book just as much. This time, it's a bit more 'specialised' so instead of reading about the whole of the Chinese horoscope and mythology, you learn about one specific place - Li's place.
Li himself is a tortured hero which always goes down a treat with me. He is matched by Wen with the feisty attitude who stands toe to toe with him and won't take any rubbish. There are also cameo shots from Lucy and Sheng, as well as the Matchmaker.
The story is fast-paced and well thought out, the dialogue is sharp and sassy and it is hot! Altogether, another fantastic book from Rachael Slate. Definitely recommended.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Star Trek: Picard in TV
Apr 27, 2020
The latest big-budget generic sci-fi series to have the Star Trek brand on it in an attempt to secure an audience. Ex-Admiral Picard meets the hot young daughter of his dead android mate and goes off to help save her twin sister with a bunch of young actors who are cheaper to employ than the ones playing his actual friends.
Not quite as mad as Discovery, and seeing the old characters again (mostly in cameos) is undeniably affecting for those of us who were there thirty years ago. But the plotting is laborious and lazy, and we seem to have lost the idea that the whole point of Star Trek is that things will improve and be different in the future: regardless of the odd ways in which this setting doesn't really match canon, this lot just act like 21st century folks in fancy dress. I'm not even going to get started on the F-bombing Starfleet Admiral or the Irish and Australian Romulans.
