Also spot on about Mr.Masters my favorite TL Swan book. When he breaks his own rule and goes to her room...that's when you're sure, he can't live without her🧡
I always have some great solo laugh alouds when I watch your videos-the intros are amazing😂 Also, have always consistently agreed with and love your book recs and opinions! I’ve been forgetting all details from soo many books lately! Didn’t know if I was getting dumb or if I could blame the books. So THANK YOU I’m BLAMIN THE BOOKS!😂
Thank you for this video Mary!!! I understand about the "blue print" issue. I tend to want some variations in reading. It's fine if it doesn't bother you but I'm one that it does. No worries I'm hoping it will change soon. Books and writing is forever evolving. Just need to be patient. I hope you and your family have a wonderful and joyful holidays. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!! Peace.😊🤗🎄🎁📚❤️🎅
I really liked brutal obsession. I had serious love/hate feeling for Greyson. I haven't brought myself to read the rest of the series yet. Thanks for the rec's, I always love your energy. I understand what you mean about books being sort of formulaic , I don't think I really mind. I don't really like high angst and I hate cheating, so I can usually enjoy it anyway. I hope you have a Good Christmas.
Oh nooo, The Bonus was one of my top reads this year, the chemistry was definitely there, the banter, the humor and the romance was exceptionally done! Only critique was the length, it could have been shorter but I really didn't mind much.
With the Bonus- I love the audio, Lately Ive been getting away from the Mafia books for the same reason you have said, Look into Wild by Adrienne Wilder a MM survival story in Alaska. I think Alaska stories should be their own trope- they are in my TBR at least. I loved Nikki Sloanes, Redemption with McAlister, I doubt there is a yummier Daddy out there- and Sophia and his story was just Chef's kiss. Sugar Baby by Harley Maddison is simply pure erotica but not boring. But my favourite trope lately has been Cowboy ones, You have got to try Sovereign by Roya Morris Edwards and then the Chasing the Wild series by Rose Elliot. they arent predicable totally morally grey characters esp Sovereign. And we deserve characters that keep us hooked to the last page. Happy Christmas Mary xx
The older you get, the faster time goes, girl. I'm 42, so time completely eludes me, now! My son's 12, and his rubbutal is "Mom, time is sooooo slow." 😂
I feel the same about dark romance right now. To the point that I've never read a fantasy series in my life, and I'm now in the middle of iron flame because I need something different.
Oh! Thank God am not alone on My Temptation by TL Swan 😅.... that was my first and only book I've read by the Author, and honestly at the time it turned me off from reading anything else by her. I read reviews on the next book on the series, and people were saying it was worse 🤷♀️. I like the author's writing style so can anyone tell me if her other books are better?
Her best book imo is Mr Masters, but 2 others that are also really good and unique are Dr Stanton & The Takeover. All her other books just feel basically like she's repeating the same things over and over with the same @sshole manwh*re heroes
Your review of the Bonus is spot on! I DNF because I hated the MFC so much and I hated what she did. I know its not real life, but come on. Even in fiction, not cool at all.😢
If you haven't already and want a good dark romance... Read The Edge of Darkness Trilogy by Leigh Rivers. So FUCKING GOOD. I felt every feeling reading those books... Trilogy follows the same couple throughout.
Don’t sleep on S Massery that Dark Hockey series had me at a grip Jacob Miles and Knox had the best stories out of the series in my opinion 😊those 3 are definitely worth the read
Wow, thank you for such an honest review. Just finished reading the new book by Neva Altaj that you recommended and I still won't forget Jewel e Ann's Before Us that you recommended as well five stars.
I absolutely Love your natural red color I want your natural color it's gorgeous ❤❤❤ you look beautiful in all colors but your natural one is by far my favorite ❤
Beautiful Fiend, I hated and then loved Caden. You may enjoy the second book Heartless Beloved which is Xi’s story. I also loved it. I’m currently reading the third book and I have thoughts but not good. I’m going to finish it because I want to see how it ends. ❤❤
you are the only person i trust with book recommendations because you are so honest 😭
I must agree with you that a lot of books are the same. It's difficult to find something originaly and truly emazing and memoriale.

Your energy is absolutely unhinged in the best way. And I mean that as a compliment. Immediate follow lol.

For TL Swan read The Casanova, the banter was great. And really 🔥🔥🔥

For S.Massery I like Twisted Obsession. The audio is good, its an amnesia trope.🧡
Secret obsession by s.massery is the best one in the series, I believe it's the third one, but omg, it's so good
I agree!!
Originality to dark romance at the moment is very slim.

Last comment I promise, if you are in a reading slump, I suggest Crossing the lines by SJ Hooks. Go in blind as I did. The audio was 🔥🔥🔥
Lola King is just amazing. Beatiful Fiend was a wild ride

Read The Stopover
@RED-my9hl Thank you!
Mr Masters is my all time favourite. It’s a Nanny trope. Also The Takeover!
Her best book imo is Mr Masters, but 2 others that are also really good and unique are Dr Stanton & The Takeover. All her other books just feel basically like she's repeating the same things over and over with the same @sshole manwh*re heroes
Does anyone have book recs for dark romance series that she has not mentioned before? I’m in a slump so bad and read all the viral ones

Hoping anyone interested reads at least one from this series
My fav hockey series
Wow, thank you for such an honest review. Just finished reading the new book by Neva Altaj that you recommended and I still won't forget Jewel e Ann's Before Us that you recommended as well five stars.
Love Neva's books. Currently reading Sweet Prison. So good, I can't put it down.
I absolutely Love your natural red color I want your natural color it's gorgeous ❤❤❤ you look beautiful in all colors but your natural one is by far my favorite ❤
i primarily read dark romances as well, and this year has been extremely lackluster when it comes to new releases. they all feel “meh” to me😑
Beautiful Fiend, I hated and then loved Caden. You may enjoy the second book Heartless Beloved which is Xi’s story. I also loved it. I’m currently reading the third book and I have thoughts but not good. I’m going to finish it because I want to see how it ends. ❤❤
