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.

19th Century Egypt & Ancient Magic
What The River Knows was everything I wanted and more. If you’re craving the vibe from the movie The Mummy, this book is for you. The action kept me on my toes, the twists and turns of trying to figure out who to trust kept me reading. Still reeling at the ending!

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.
