Welcome to Litsy!

I actually liked this one more than Butcher and Blackbird. There was much more backstory to the characters and I liked how the relationship developed. And there was humor. It was preeeteeeee spicy, with some dark themes, but the stalker hero has total golden retriever vibes.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I listened to this one . It‘s one I definitely turned down at stop lights! It‘s a Dark romance… not as dark as I thought it would be after listening to some people talk about it but still would have a lot triggers for people , so recommend looking into that before diving in. This book roped me and was full of spice! The male narrator‘s voice is the stuff of fantasy and will live rent free in my head🔥

Loved Lights Out. A 5 🌟 read for me. It definitely lived up to the hype.

It's been a while since I read a spicy romance. There were parts that dragged on a little. But I did enjoy the characters and the progression of the story.

This one had good potential but lost me with the crime plot twist boards the middle. The unrealistic serious relationship development lost me a little as well.

*Sigh* This was fun until it wasn‘t…The mafia plot introduced on the second half is boring me to tears.

Bailing at 74% 😐 and returning to library since there are other people waiting for it.

And, we‘re back!…34% and going strong!! 🤣🤣

25% check-in: I am loving this!!!! Yes, it‘s utterly ridiculous, but I‘m having so much fun.

Already looked up the 2nd book, but it comes out in June…I‘ll be stalking (🤣🤣) NetGalley for an ARC!

Starting this on my search for a dark romance that completely sucks me in (haven‘t found one yet…Help, Litsy friends!! ❤️)

Will keep you updated! 🤭😅

3.5⭐Light Pick
•Ultimately I liked the story…despite the knife-play scene (ugh, is this a thing?). Also, the characters came off as unrealistic and seriously obsessed with sex/dirty talk. And yet, it ended up entertaining me, what can I say, clearly I‘m a sucker for duet narration…because Elena Wolfe and Jacob Morgan killed it.

Another dark romance recommended by friends, why do I take their recs anymore, lol. Completely unhinged, but still entertaining and I didn‘t stop reading it. Cat and mouse, but make it spicy. So spicy that I would be very embarrassed if my mom picked from my bookshelf. Book #11 in 2025

Spicy Book Bracket 2025
For January my spicy pick was Lights Out. It really feeds into the whole Masked Men of TikTok phase and was hilariously funny. I absolutely adored Josh, even if he is a bit crazy.

Going back to work is going to seriously impede my reading and I am not looking forward to it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

3/150

My favorite reads of the year 🥰

THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD! And absolutely filthy. I don‘t really do dark romance, but someone posted a clip of the audio (it‘s a duet, which is rare) & I was like “oooh is this funny, I didn‘t know it was funny” & the Male narrator (Jacob Morgan) 🥵 so hot. highly recommend the audio in particular but the book is amazing in general. So steamy, moments of humor, moments of heart & vulnerability, hurt/comfort, all the good stuff.

She said it 👺🎄

This is the funniest dark romance ever. Definitely lots of content warnings but the characters are also wickedly funny! Spicy for sure and not for the faint of heart! Not sure I would have kept reading but the #audio was fantastic! I would listen to the male narrator read just about anything. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

If you liked Brynne Weaver's Butcher & Blackbird and Lark & Leather then you will most likely enjoy this book with its mile long list of trigger warnings at the start. Humour, heart, kink! It's got all of these and more in spades. Can't wait for the next book!

Sidebar: The voice actors/narrators for this #audiobook were perfect.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Funny and spicy! Can‘t wait for the next one.

Book 2/10 for #10BeforeTheEnd
I was marked at “several months” on Libby for this hold when it surprisingly came through the other day. 🙌 I think this book is worth the hype, I really loved it. I think a lot of ppl are intimidated by the long trigger warning list for list one. But I think this book is on the same level as Butcher and Blackbird. Josh is the most cinnamon roll of Dark Romance MMCs IMO. 🥰🔪 #SeriesLove2024 #ReadAway2024

This book was SO MUCH FUN!! The only thing I didn‘t like were the sexytimes. I‘d really like someone to write a dark romantic comedy, with just regular vanilla sexytimes.

October wrap up! 👻 All good books, but Sleep Tight definitely won the month!

My Month was so chaotic, that if I didn't have #AudioBooks I wouldn't have been able to enjoy as many books as I did. With school, I have such a hard time reading (even though I really miss it), so #AudioCommute and #AudioChores are sacred times for me as well :)

Parts of this one irritated me and one or two parts might have scarred me. Can‘t wait for the next one!! ✨

It was ok I‘m glad that this was a free book (from a friend) but not sure if I‘ll actually keep it 🙌🏽

Brilliant fun.
A dark rom com that made me laugh out loud. Josh is absolutely hilarious.

This book is killing me 🤣🤣🤣

Aly‘s a trauma nurse who hasn‘t had a day off in yrs. She‘s in therapy & doesn‘t keep a man more than 2-3 dates.

Josh is the roommate of someone who dated Aly. He‘s a recluse, coder/hacker that has an online presence where he posts masked thirst traps.

Aly cyber stalks the no-named masked man. She‘s obsessed! She‘s got a kink involving a masked man breaking into her home & when she tells the community he begins to stalk her IRL.
