i agree
omg imagine the day!!
@@LovelyLikeLaura only trust you on the book recss
I'd 100% read all of them
T. L. Swan is an author i have never vibed with😬 i know everyone loves her books, but i tried Mr. Masters... and i hated every second of it lol. but like you said, her heroes have a lot of misogynistic tendencies and that’s always a no from me. it’s immediately a turn off :////
SAME! Mr. Masters was so bad lmao. I thought maybe it was me, but finally someone agrees
@@nhyirax6041 finally found someone who dislikes it as much as me!!😌 i just found the heroine to be dumb af, the hero so be jus... *odd* to say the least, and the pacing was kinda bizarre for me too.
no because i get it LMAO
I *hated* mr masters so much
Love the earrings, they're so cute!!
I also really can't get into books if I can't sympathize with the characters. It kills my reading mood in like 2 secs
omg thanks!!! and yes i totally agree it just makes me frustrated
I totally agree with you about the addicted to you series. I found it really difficult to connect with the characters as well. But whenever I see reviews, people only have good things to say about it. So I was thinking must be me.
right same!!
Didn't read the Addicted series but do feel the same way about the Like Us.... am I up to date with the series yes I am.. I hated all characters but two.. the only thing that kept me going were the narrators two of my favorites....
oh my goodness!! does that mean I started off with the wrong foot with Abbi Glines? I did start with that series, I couldn't (for some reason I don't remember) get past the first one so I also didn't give her another chance to read another one of her books, I always hear you talk about her books tho but I was hesitant haha thanks for your reviews!! :)
Ooo I love your dangling earrings! So cute
omg thanks jay
Congratulations on 70K subscribers!
omg thank you!!!
So I wasn't into the first 2 book from the addicted series but the rest of the series i love and the Calloway Sisters series that is amazing. You learn more about the characters as the series continues and you start to root for them. Please give it another try, the series becomes a thousand times better!
i’ve heard this!!
Aaaaaa cant wait for the something in the way video 😍😍😍😍
I know there’s a lot of super popular reverse harems but I read the Saint View High series and really enjoyed it!!! Also, a series that gives off those vibes but technically isn’t RH…boys of Brayshaw. SO GOOD.
okay def checking them out!!
13:16
Yesss, I thought I was the only one who didn’t like the book. Now I know that there’s nothing wrong with me 🤣
Heyyy!! I would love it if you did like a short stories kind of video, like novella or something. For people like me who love a quick read🙈
It keeps so much better after the first addicted to you! Especially the other sisters ❤️
i’ve heard!!
It’s so funny everyone says that and I felt the absolute opposite. I actually loved the first few books and by the fourth and fifth I was so bored. Nothing really happens and I felt like every page was the same. But I loved the first one which most people don’t like as much. 🤷♀️
some more M/m romance book recs would be lovely
xo
This right here, is my favourite booktuber!! 💯🕊️
omg ily
I liked the addicted series to some extent but I had more hopes seeing the reviews...Thoughtless was something which I actually brought after seeing one of your book hauls and same as you I really heard great things about it but didn't like it...BTW Laura could you please do one bookshelf tour...I am totally in love with your collection ❤️❤️
its coming soon!!! maybe by the end of the month
@@LovelyLikeLaura OMMGGG!!!Thank you ❤️❤️
Always love your videos! IF you can....u should continue with the Addicted series, it gets so much better. In saying that though, the Like Us series (which follows all of the characters kids from the Addicted series) is SO much better! You should give it a try ☺
Okay I didn’t like Sicko Either and found The elite Kings club a hit and a miss ( first 3 books were meh but the last 4 books were fantastic, especially SANCTE DIABOLI PT1&2)
HOWEVERRR the midnight mayhem series! The books in that series were phenomenal! Dark romance with a touch of fantasy! I read it 6 months ago and I subconsciously always compare the midnight mayhem series to every dark romance book! Its amazing and I can’t wait for Amo to release the third book (MMF)
Gives me American horror story vibes but sexy and way more spicy! Highly highly recommend this series!
I thought I was the only one who wasn’t into Amo Jones!!!
ok i’m def looking into this one!!!
@@LovelyLikeLaura YES please do! And its perfect for the upcoming spooky SZN!
and im pretty sure i recommended Complicated Hearts and you hated it... *BUT* for a reverse harem that is pretty plot heavy as well as romance is Sunshine and Bullets by Coralee June. it’s dual timeline with some mystery and mafia elements, it was the first rh i had ever read now im obsessed.
LOL OMG i always love the recs tho keep them coming!! i will try the coralee book because one of her other books is a favvvv of mine!!
OMG I felt the same way about The Vincent Brothers/Boys. I love all of Abbi's other books but these ones are just so strange. I found the first book put a ridiculous amount of emphasis on who was the good boy vs the bad boy to the point where that was their entire personality. And the girl's reasons for thinking she wasn't good enough for the "good boy" were completely ridiculous. Like because she didn't want to return her cart to the cart return in the mall parking lot she wasn't worthy of him??? Idk the whole thing just seemed weird to me.
LEGIT IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING
I highly recommend ruyNx's book. I'm sure you will love it.
And love kill series by Brianna jean
A reverse harem book that I really liked is “the secret girl”, you should read the sinopsis, but I’m just gonna say that is about a girl who goes to a high school that is only for boys, so she has to dress like a guy and there’s a mystery surrounding the school, is so catching and funny, check it out!!
okk def looking this up!!
beach read!! everyone hypes it up so much but i honestly didn’t care for it 🤧
I love all your recommendations❤️❤️
We both have similar taste
I highly recommend the stolen moments by Catherina maura
I think you will love it 💖💖
I feel you on all your thoughts with slip of the tongue 😩😩 LIKE WHYYYYYY
RIGHT!!
Shocked about Laura hating The Vincent Boys! Hahaha
I hated the female lead in that book, but Beau was one of my first book boyfriends. I haven’t re-read it, but I have a feeling it doesn’t hold up like it used to.
that was me, i had reread it and it was only then i realized LOL
Jessica Hawkins 'The Cityscape' series is my all time fave!!
i’ll have to look that one up!
I felt the same way about Sicko!! I was just like 'why are you all doing this right now?' It started really good and the writing was good but Dark romances for me should connect more deeply And I did'nt feel this one at all.
And for Reverse Harem, maybe try brayshaw high series by meagan brandy and Rydeville elite by siobhan davis (first 3 books of both) 👏❤️
Neither Boys of Brayshaw nor Rydeville Elite are RH.
You better hope steph bohrer doesn’t see this 😂😂😂
Omg I love Steph but I actually dislike a lot of her favs 😂
LOL DEAD
I love Amo Jones but felt the same way about Sicko, my least favorite of hers. But definitely read the Midnight Mayhem series! Soo good! I believe the 3rd book will be MMF! 🙊
And same with T L Swan! Always the same arrogant rich men. 🙄
And also same with Vandal, least favorite of the series lol 😵
omg glad we agree!! everyones saying try midnight mayhem so i just might!
Same I read the blurb for sicko and it seemed interesting. But when I started reading it, the beginning was good but I couldn't get into it after that and just finished it for the sake of it.
I think that has always been my issue with Amo Jones for me most of her books are just hits and misses. You can either get a very good book for example the Sancte Diaboli parts but then their are the silver swan books in the same series which just drag on and on for ages.
yes the beginning was so promising and then i was like ???
I really liked Right Where I Want You by Jessica Hawkins! It's an enemies to lovers office romance. I think its super underrated but definitely worth the read.
Yes
oooh ok i’ll try it!!
Personally, cheating is my tw, I don’t like it on my romance books, even if it’s not between the h/H. I don’t believe it’s romantic when a relationship stars that way, so I avoid those books like the plague! Lol
SAMEEEE
totally understandable!!!
Laura I felt that way after I read thoughtless. I could not continue the series after reading the first book.
yuppp same!
madison kate series by tate james for RH! ITS SO GOOD! Or even the stand alone book,Divers Heart!
okay i’ll look this up!!
Read the cityscape series by jessica hawkins it was basically slip of the tongue but with the RIGHT ending
I would love to heard ur opinion on rina Kent books and if they are worth reading and stuff
I’ve had the opposite happen, I started reading a book yesterday I found randomly on kindle unlimited thinking it would be crap but I’m obsessed and I’ve finished the first one in a day and I’m already onto the second one of the trilogy now. It’s Degradation by Stylo Fantome!
That series is fantastic! One of my faves. Jameson is 🤤
violent delights by jessica is so amazing totally recommend!!
okay i’ll try that one!!
No sure if you can categories as RH, but the lords of pain royals of Forsyth is EXCELLENT
You should also give V. Domino's book a try!!
Have you read the Alethea Romig series “Consequences”? Or her series “Infidelity” (it’s not what you think). I never see anyone talking about her on book tube and I love her writing. Her plot twists are INSANE! Would be interested to see if you like them, because you and I seem to like and dislike a lot of the same books.
I also read Thoughtless this year and it was awful!!! I almost DNF’d it with 10 pages left, and pushing through to finish was a huge regret.
Hey Laura do you think you could do kinda like a guide to Saffron Kent’s books? Or just other authors that have a huge list of books? Because I’ve read two of her books and they just weren’t for me but I’m not sure if it was the plot or the writing and I know you really like her so I trust your judgment.
But one book I read recently and didn’t like was ‘Even when you lie to me’ by Jessica Alcott. It had the same problem you had where the ending made the whole story pointless and just a waste of time.
omg have u tried medicine man, dreams of 18 or the unrequited? those are my favs by her but i agree some of her books miss for me
Great video, Laura!
thank you! 🤍
Read featherstone academy it’s Reverse haram I really loved it ❤️ I don’t know you will love it but give it a try
What’s ur opinion on tessa cheating on Noah in after? Also I agree about the addicted series, everyone says it picks up after the third one but I don’t have that much patience to force myself 😂
omg looking back at after i have sooooo many issues with it, personally only still like that series for sentimental reasons😭
I read Love Unexpected by Q.B Tyler like last year and I don't know if I hate the book or not, but I certainly don't support the step-father, step-daughter relationship. I love to read steamy forbidden books but this one is just too much for me. I've read her other books and I really liked them. Unconditional is one of my all time favs.
omg totally get that!!
@@LovelyLikeLaura I think if the storyline was different then at least the trope would have been a bit believable.
Finally someone that agrees with me about Vandal. If she just kept that out I would love it. But ugh. Hated the ending.
A really good reverse harem book is freestyle by Bea Paige
The Cityscape Affair Trilogy by Jessica Hawkins!
So worried because I bought slip of the tongue, haven't read it yet
I am currently reading THE TROUBLE WITH LOVE by KATE T MASON
It's the second part of the trouble with love. ❤
oooh how is it??
@@LovelyLikeLaura it's great 👍
A series I hated was Tangled by Emma Chase. To start off I read this series when I was 12 and had no business reading it. But now that I'm older I've thought about the book and realized that the characters were super annoying. I could write a three page essay and it still wouldn't be enough to describe my hate towards the characters.
You look so awesome!!!!!
I agree, I did not like:
Thoughtless
Addicted to You (I could not get past the first.)
I did not like Fragile Longing by Cora Reilly. (Review on Goodreads.)
ive heard mixed things with cora reilly!!
I had the same experience reading Sicko by Amo Jones. Loved the beginning but then after the time jump I lost interest. Didn't finish that book.
yes same! i legit finished just for the sake of it!
I really hated Verity and Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover because the cheating was done poorly and couldn’t stand the hypocrisy of the characters. I like her other books but definitely not those. All Your Perfects was okay but still wasn’t a fan of that either.
Pliiiiisss you need to read Sara Ney books🥳🥰
Same on Vandal
right!!
I read The Spanish Love Deception a few months ago and DID NOT LIKE IT! Everyone seems to love it so maybe I’m weird.
omggg thats in my tbr im interested to see what i think now
Anyone else just want to spend the day by her bookshelf
Please review the elite kings club series by Amo jones and to be honest i read the first 2 books and i dont quite like them!
omg ok i’ll look into it!!
@@LovelyLikeLaura yup its quite popular ...and even though i didn't like the first book people are still so obsessed with it! I will read the rest of the books but only if you will recommend it!
Just subscribed luv u so much
yay welcome!!!
If you haven't read it yet check out A Love Letter to Whiskey by Kandi Steiner.
omg i think its on my tbr
I know you love books by Penelope Ward but .... I have read couple of her books but I didn't like any of them. I guess her work is just not for me.🙈
omg ive actually had a few people tell me that!
Our way! I read in a day and I HATED! The way they describe sexually just gets worse, at the end she leaves him and 6 months later they just get back together and he says he always been straight! I HATED how he treated her, she was so in love with him that she never notices how shifty he was!
UR LYINGGGG LMFAOOOO OMG i just couldn’t with that book
Thoughtless is hit or miss with so many people I know.
same here ive heard everything from die hard fans to absolute hatred LOL
I hated Our Way! My main issue was how the sexuality was treated towards the end. If you DNF the booked you didn’t get the part that I had issues with, but it was a bad book. But my worst one was Taking chances from Molly Mcadams… oh boy the book was bad, it had a love triangle that includes cheating and on top of that she puts this twist that is ridiculous.I actually never picked up another book from her until a week ago that I read Lie to me, and that book is just awesome!
TAKING CHANCES IS LEGIT ONE IF MY LEAST FAVORITE BOOKS EVER OMGGG CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT BRING IT UP HERE
I did not like Addicted to you too. But the spin-off series is actually pretty good, well the first three are at least.
i’ve heard that!
Lord of Scandals because I hated the way the hero and heroine treated her brother. So much so that I stopped caring about their romance.
I didn't like Birthday Girl. At first, I loved it but then after a while, I started rethinking and I didn't like the way the age gap relationship was portrayed. I feel like it could've been portrayed in a more positive light. Throughout the book, Jordan kept trying to prove to Pike that she was mature, however in doing so she was just acting more childish because quite frankly she still is a child. For example (warning spoilers) when Caleb found out about her and Pike she just wouldn't use her head and wasn't understanding that her relationship with Pike was going to affect other people too. She was just thinking of herself.
Girl how did you not like thoughtless when you love after⁉️ it's literally after in a different font I've never read the book but the girl sounds annoying like Tessa.
LOL SHE IS ANNOYING LIKE TESSA TBH😭 ive reflected so much since my obsession with after and at this point i really only like it for the sentimental reasoning and nostalgia.
Taking Chances by Molly McAdams. Awful! Molly McAdams scarred me with that book. I refuse to read her books cause I'm scared she's going to do me dirty again.
I love it

I hated Corrupt by Penelope Douglas. I mean.. the love story is based on lust, and plenty of bullying, like really fucked up bullying, its just a no from me
omg i havent read it yet
Me too I hated addicted
I feel the same exact way about Vandal!!!!!!! She needs to take out that last chapter!! So pointless
LEGIT IT MADE ME MADDDD OMG LOL
Something in the Way is one of my favorite series. Slip of the Tongue frustrated me.
yes same!!
I didn’t like Vicious by LJ Shen. I’ve read a lot of enemies to lovers and this one was just like ‘meh’ I since haven’t read any of her books after seeing all the proof of her being a bully 😡
Oh she is something else… I have no problem with bad boys, dark romance or even bullys as long as I can understand where they are coming from and you give them a backstory that makes sense as to why they are like that. But she just goes nuts. I read a few from her and some are ok like Broken Knight and other like the thief kiss made me cringe. I stopped reading her books and I’m not willing to read through the bad ones to find the good ones🤷🏻♀️
omg ive tried to read that like 70000x and j can never get past the first few chapters
Same! I don’t like any of the books in that series I’ve tried but I just can’t get through any of them. However I did randomly read a book of LJ Shen’s ‘Broken Knight’ and I actually liked that one. It’s supposed to be the children of the Vicious series but I didn’t bother with Vicious or the others and the parents aren’t really important in that book anyways, but the plot and characters in that book are much better IMO.
@@Ro-sv2ly agreed! Broken knight has a good backstory for the main character and you can understand where his struggles are coming from, and he is also not that bad, so I’m ok with that book
I also felt the same way I thought the book was mediocre and overhyped
I saw Slip of the Tongue in the thumbnail and had to immediately click hahaha - it's my least favorite by her! I absolutely loved Something in the Way and her Cityscape series!
Omg or Violent Delights 😩
LOL DEAD
Everyone says the Addicted series gets better, but I would disagree. The writing does get better, but the storylines remain ridiculous and the characters are insufferable.
I hate The Off Campus Series. I just don’t like the way Elle Kennedy writes characters in her solo books. I also hate the Hades Hangman series. I am not even usually sensitive in regard to it, but the constant referral to women in derogatory terms drove me crazy.
omg whenever a book has a ton of internalized misogyny towards the women it drives me MAD
Omg I also didn't like most of these books !!
twins
Abbi glines new book Lyrics of a Small Town isn’t very good either! I didn’t like it at all!
As a lesbian, a plot where a gay man is essentially "turned straight" REALLY rubs me the wrong way. A very harmful narrative. Sexualities can't be changed like that. If anything he would be bisexual/pansexual. See this is what happens when straight authors write gay characters. The problematic and clearly uneducated writing shines through. Its why Tryst Six Venom is a no for me. Over sexualisation of lesbians written clearly through the male gaze and inaccurate portrayal of lesbian sex? No thank you.
I know I'm ranting but its just insulting the way many straight authors write gay characters, lesbians and other LGBTQ+ individuals.
I love a good infidelity romance, but I was not a fan of Thoughtless either. I only gave it 2 stars.
hey
why dont you talk about after anymore??
not as A MOVIE perspective but as the BOOKS
i miss it pls doo
*puppy eyes*
Thoughtless, if u read the rest u start to see the characters grow and mature and u start to like them after that
im glad to hear that but i dont think ill ever continue😭
@@LovelyLikeLaura trust me I get it, Keira was infuriating, Denny was to nice and Kel was no friend at all, like I said they do learn 😁
I know this is an unpopular opinion but I didn't enjoy the birthday girl and the hating game, they are def very overrated lol sorry Laura 😛
DNF'd Thoughtless- agree on the character, couldn't stand the lead female
SAME
ugly love by colleen hoover. i hated that book. i didn't find it appealing or sad. miles was just a turd. i understand that his character went through something traumatic but still. i had no love for ugly love.
ugly love is on the lower end of my coho ranking tbh so i get it!
