A Cursed Immortal & A Broken Pendant
Until The World Falls Down was a captivating, spicy romantasy written for the hopeless romantics who want a love that transcends time and curses. The atmosphere was like jumping down the rabbit hole and experiencing interactions you never thought of before. 10 out of 10 recommend. I loved this book.

Shadows & One Hot Nightmare
Sweet Nightmare’s plot and lore were interesting… Think The Originals meets The Shadow Court of ACOTAR. It left so many unanswered questions! It is a series, so fortunately, that’s not a con of this book. What happened to Clementine’s mother? How is Henri? Why was he imprisoned? I’m ready for book 2, please.

Corporate Espionage & Pretty Bartenders
Ana Huang has done it again! Weaving a relationship between two distinct Asian cultures, King of Pride followed Isabella Valencia, a punk Filipina bartender, and Kai Young, a tightly wound Chinese CEO, as they navigated the challenges of their relationship, as well as their own dilemmas. Can’t wait to finish the series!

Hellish Princes & Warring Theologies
The Deer And The Dragon was pushed onto me by the B&N employees (they got me, what can I say? I’m weak) and it was worth the guilt to people please a stranger. It was rich in plot, lore, worldbuilding, sexual exploration/expression, and perfected with witty banter. My kinda read.

Spain & The Slowest Burn
A Spanish Love Deception was most definitely another BookTok deception. I feel betrayed, bamboozled, and hoodwinked. I don’t mind a fluffy cozy romance, but for the love of all things good and sinful, THIS IS NOT A SPICY NOVEL TF. If I wasn’t misled, I’d have given a better rating.

Sea Captains & Denounced Heiresses
I feel as if no one on BookTok has actually read a spicy novel because this WASN’T SPICY! Stop staying these cozy ass books (I’m talking to you, Icebreaker) are spicy. It’s like recommending How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and saying it’s like Fifty Shades of Grey.

Shadows & Lilies
Death’s Obsession followed Lilith, a young woman who recently had a close encounter with death when she was in a massive car accident that took the life of her twin sister, Dahlia. After swearing she saw Death at the accident, she began seeing a figure she called “the faceless man.”

Icy Banter & Liquid Courage
I enjoyed Hannah Grace’s Icebreaker. Very fluffy. The one issue I had was that this book definitely could’ve been 100 pages shorter. There were quite a few filler chapters and scenes that didn’t contribute much to the plot. Maybe a little too much on the character development. 4/5 would recommend.
