BLURB

If love is an addiction, your first love is the first hit.

How many of you remember your first love?

Because falling in love for the first time…I remember that. And that’s the thing about your first love—we all have a love story.

But this isn’t a love story.
This is a life story.
The good.
The bad.
The heartache.
It’s all here.

Love is truly a battlefield…

Love is scary, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. When you love someone wholeheartedly, you leave yourself open to being destroyed…and that’s what I did, what I still do even though I know better.

But it doesn’t make a difference.

The best kind of love doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.

This one-in-a-million story is mine, and if you take anything away from this book, it would be to never be afraid to love.

So, let me introduce myself. You may call me Z.
Buckle up, besties, because this will be a bumpy ride.

Love hits you when you least expect it.

Are you ready for the fall?

#BookReview: Unleashing Chaos by @CAndFBooks Crystal J. Johnson & Felicity Vaughn @WattpadBooks






Synopsis: Desideria is looking for true love…
When your father, the king of demons, tells you to find an eternal partner in ninety days, you do it―because the alternative is worse.

Jace’s heart is shattered and guarded…
All I asked for was a quiet roommate to help with the bills instead I got a sassy demon princess.

Cannon wants everyone to be happy, but …
Sure, I want to help my friends, but I’ve got ambitions too.


Infernis help them.

A visit to the human realm is Desi’s last-ditch effort to find the partner of her dreams―she wants to marry for love―but with only three months to fall head over heels and take someone home to her chaotic family in Infernis, it seems impossible.

When every date Desi goes on ends in disaster, she enlists the help of her two handsome roommates. While one is friendly and fun, willing to help in any way he can, the other is stern and impenetrable, resolute in his theory that everlasting love isn’t possible. But as much as she’d like to deny it, Desideria is an agent of chaos, and she quickly starts knocking down walls and crossing boundaries–in every aspect of her romantic life..

Maybe it was kismet that landed Desi in Denver, but the choice she and her new friends have to make will define not only their futures, but that of an entire realm.

#BookReview: Mercy (Salacious Players Club #4) by Sara Cate @SaraCate3 @SourcebooksCasa






Synopsis: She doesn't want to hurt him ― she just wants to punish him…

Being the only female owner of the Salacious Players' Club, Maggie Anderson thought her life was hard enough. But as the club continued to grow, she felt more and more on the outskirts as the only one who didn't have a kink. Or so she thought… 

When she takes a kink quiz on the club's new app and learns that she's a Domme, she realizes that she might not be quite so vanilla after all. In fact, she's a lot more like her colleague, Emerson Grant, than she thought. There's just one problem ― she doesn't know how to be a Domme. Or she didn't, until the app matched her with someone willing to learn. But he's too young. Too stubborn. Too good looking. And, to top it off, Emerson's son.

Beau Grant is a brat. And Maggie would hate that about him it if she didn't love punishing him so much. Yet she's beginning to see that underneath his attitude, Beau is misunderstood, self-less, and in need of direction. But if it's mercy he's after, he'll have to earn it first. 

She finally knows what she wants, and she's ready to take it.
