This has been borrowed from the Kindle Unlimited library.
This one follows Liam, the youngest Cross brother, and Iris, a waitress at Liam's older brother's restaurant. It seems Liam has been watching Iris for a while, almost from the start of her time working for Lee and has been intrigued by her. Iris is homeless and struggling for every penny she earns so she can begin renting someplace. She acts tough and stays disconnected from her colleagues as she doesn't know how they'll take her living situation but then Liam takes a serious interest in her and she struggles to keep him at length.
This was actually super cute for such a short read. I still love all the Cross family and Liam has changed a lot from that little punk in Lee's story.
I liked the Bowie thing that Iris had going on and that Jareth is my favourite version of him, too. I love Labyrinth. It's been one of my favourite films since I was a kid.
I'm looking forward to the last book and Trevor's full story.

Doing Wright ( Teach Me book 1)
By Raven Dark
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
Nineteen year old Jacy is a college girl with a wild and wicked streak. She's always had a penchant for older men, so it's no surprise she'd fantasize about being taken by her professor in every possible way. Then again, her imagination has always gotten her into trouble.
When the sinfully gorgeous Mr. Wright shows up at her door one night, she's sure she can tempt the brooding alpha male into taking control and claiming what he needs, but at what price?
Whether it's on her knees or bent over a bed, he'll give her a night she'll never forget, but she's been to this party before with disastrous results. Will their tryst be the best night of her life, or the worst mistake she's ever made?
It’s exactly as described! A short novel with well written hot sex! Not much else to say!

Circa 1 hour.
2 bus journeys.
That's roughly how long it took me to read this, from virtual cover to virtual cover (and on my second attempt - I don't think I was in the right mood the first time around), after it was recommended to me by a friend.
As I'm pretty sure was the authors intent, I got a definite feeling of a 'Suicide Squad' setup out of this, with the story told from the point of view of a member within that team. I also got the distinct feeling that this was more of a taster, if you will, more of a trial run to see if the idea worked than a full formed and fledged novel in its own right.
Think a short story in an omnibus collection, or something along those lines - something to introduce readers to the characters and the world they inhabit and to (hopefully) whet the readers appetite for further entries.
In that regard, as least, and for me: job done.

maybe not one for me!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
My review for this book will be short, because, to be honest, I'm really not sure what I just read!
I'll summarise as best as I can though.
I liked that multiple people have a say. So we get to hear from all the important people.
I LOVED the sarcasm from everyone! Trouble, especially.
I did not like, and I think this was my biggest issue, that multiple names were used for the same person. I got a bit confused right at the prologue and I think that set the screen for the rest of the book.
Lots of paranormal themes: prophecies, soul mates, demons, witches and gods, and a rare one: reincarnations. I liked that.
But, like I said, the multiple names thing kinda threw for the whole book, and I'm still a little confused by it all!
Maybe not one for me, but I did finish it, so
3 stars
*same worded review will appear elsewhere

Merissa (12660 KP) rated Dear John in Books
Sep 12, 2023
DEAR JOHN is part of the #WorldLetterWritingDay collection and we have Logan, an undercover cop, and Zion, an artist, stuck together on a remote island with no Wi-Fi, internet, or anything digital. Logan wasn't there to keep an eye on Zion, but rather his rather dodgy boyfriend.
I enjoyed my escape to the island. I found the revelations from Zion to be sad and loved how Logan was there for him. Yes, it was insta-love, but sometimes it's just got to be!
This is a short story but there is still a steamy time, plus the tension of not knowing if said dodgy boyfriend would show up. And don't forget the letters that Zion sent, which definitely made me chuckle. A thoroughly enjoyable story that I definitely recommend.
