About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Here you'll find book reviews, book lists, cover reveals, author interviews and basically anything book related that I'd like to share! I'm an avid reader & love to explore all genres. As my reading habits have changed, you'll mainly find romance reviews here now, but I also have an array of YA and MG titles. You'll also find a mix of non-fiction, mystery, & thrillers. I love to travel, hold up in coffee shops & explore the shelves of bookstores. I'm mamma to kitties & a puppy. Really, I just cannot wait to talk books with you! Thanks for stopping by!

Mini Review: Praise by Sara Cate I finished this

Mini Review: Praise by Sara Cate I finished this book back in June & am still working my way through this series. I cannot believe we already have the second gen books coming out, but I’m hoping to catch up on 2026! -Review: Ugh this was a delicious read. I loved the introduction to certain kinks and the healthy representation of the dom/sub relationship being created here. Cate does such a good job of showcasing this through the eyes of a newbie in that world as well as through the eyes of a more experienced hero teaching/exposing the newbie. I loved watching Charlie blossom as she grew more confident in herself and through her exploration of herself.! But I’d remiss if I didn’t say I also enjoyed seeing Emerson grow as well. Overall this story was filled not just was spice and tension and all the fun bits, but also filled with representation of self-growth and confidence and also healing for both of these characters. Overall 5 stars for Miss cate. Not typing well since I’m tired and may remember more later but I’m hopping into book 2 of this series now 😊#minibookreview #bookreview #salaciousplayersclub #saracatebooks #romancebookrecs

Absolutely loved this series by Nikki St. Crowe! T

Absolutely loved this series by Nikki St. Crowe! Today’s review is of season 1! These were originally published as a serial before being bound into novella size books/collections. Once I realized they were bound I bought hard copies of them all because I enjoyed the story so much! Below is my quick review of season 1 😊Review: I first read this through kindle novella but when I realized it was being grouped into ebooks I just waited for the ebook episode collections. I only ended up reading the first two seasons back in 2022 and now that I own all of them in paperback I’m trying to read the whole series/seasons to completion. This first season was so fun! Absolutely loved the tension of Jess and Bran. And that first scene of them in the coffee shop together - absolutely loved that was one of the first times we got to see them interact - iykyk!! But seriously - super enjoyed the tension between these two and man does Bran have me fanning myself - literally cannot get enough of the hot vampire. But besides the spice and hot MMC - there is some mystery around Jess and this world. I honestly think season one is just the tip of the iceberg for what St. Crowe has in store for us with this story & I’m so here for the ride!! Have you read this series yet?? Let me know or let me know what vampire books you’d recommend! #bookreviews #vampireromance #vampirebooks #spicyromance #spicyromancebooks #nikkistcrowe #romancebookrecs #romancebookstagram #readingmytbr #nicolelynnreads #seducedinthestacks

Had so much fun last Sunday afternoon with @readsa

Had so much fun last Sunday afternoon with @readsandcompany for the launch of @saracatebooks new release The Good Girl Effect! The conversation with Sara and Q.B. (@qbtyler.author) was so entertaining and I’m looking forward to diving into both The Good Girl Effect (once I finish the rest of the SPC series) and Q.B.’s Keep Her Safe (which I just picked up at the event)! So glad I had the opportunity to go and meet both of these awesome authors! It was truly a fun night and another great event hosted by Reads & Co.! ....#bookevents #booksigning #thegoodgirleffect #saracate #salaciousplayersclub #qbtylerbooks #qbtylerauthor #spicyreads #romancebookstagram #romancereads #nicolelynnreads #seducedinthestacks #nicolelynnreadsromance #bookstagrammer
