This story certainly has steamy scenes that took my breath away but more than the sex their love story was tender. I also love the fact that they are rich is incidental, not crucial, to the story.
Compared to the previous story, though, Jock Blocked by Stephanie Brother is pretty tame. It has that feel of a Cinderella Story where this sweet, loving girl is being oppressed by wicked bridesmaids but is rescued by 3 prince charmings aka the best men.
Three gorgeous men who all happen to be CEOs of their companies and billionaires to boot, find themselves irresistibly attracted to Maddie, a curvy brunette who always saw herself as the “ugly sister”. Kincaid, Jesse, and Brock are quick to prove her otherwise once they were given the opportunity to do so.
There are many heated moments in this story but compared to Stephanie’s other stories this is relatively tame so for reverse harem virgins, this will probably be something they could digest easily.

If you are a woman or a gay man and you have hot blood running through your veins then you have probably fantasized about any or all of the men from Magic Mike, Thunder from Down Under, or, for the old school … Chippendales! So imagine if you could go home with one, two, three, or even four such gorgeous men?
The story starts with Emma being dumped by her fiance at her bachelorette party. What a jerk, right? One moment she is watching these super hot twin male strippers performing and next, she receives a breakup text. Hmph! When I read that I wanted to swing a machete and cut off his balls and make him a eunuch.
Thank God Emma had four knights in shining armor: The sexy bartender Tonio, the dazzling twins Austin and Denver, and the broody bouncer Knox. They not only gave her a place to stay when she found herself homeless, but they also took care of her.
The pacing of this relationship is just right. Knowing it is a reverse harem story meant that I could anticipate at some point that she would have encounters with each one or they would all get together. However, there was enough substance in this story that by the time it got to that point, it just felt right.
I imagined myself in her shoes and could only imagine how pampered I would be if I had four men who loved me the way these men love Emma.
If you are into reverse harems, I’d recommend this book, for sure. While some of the things they did I can’t imagine doing in real life, it is fun to fantasize about it.

The Class Project by Andrea Middleton is supposed to be an “enemies to lovers” high school romance. It is mislabeled.
First, the guy bullied the girl. They weren’t technically “enemies” since she avoided him like the plague and he just loved to ruin her day. To be enemies would imply they had something against each other.
Second, there was no romance at all. Yes, they are in high school, but all they really did in this story is work together on a partnered activity assigned in class and over time became friends.
That’s it … friends. There was no romantic spark. Her heart didn’t skip a beat at the sound of his name. His eyes didn’t follow her as she entered the room. The story ends with them acknowledging that they are friends.
The Class Project by Andrea Middleton used to be on Amazon but I don’t know if it is still there. Whatever amount I paid for it before was money wasted. I try to imagine that it was probably the first salvo for this author and I think publishing it on Amazon was quite daring. She should have gotten ARC readers first to review her book and with enough time to rewrite and come up with a better story.

When I came across The Alpha’s Temptation by Renee Rose and Lee Savino what caught my eye about the preview is that the story is about hackers falling in love. Yes, it is a shifter romance, and yes, the main character is an Alpha werewolf, but for me, that was almost incidental. I was more curious to see how the authors would be able to write this convincingly.
The main characters are Jackson King, the billionaire CEO of a tech company who is a tech whiz, and incidentally, an Alpha with a pack of two. Kylie is human and, in a past life, was the hacker that was able to hack Jackson’s company many years ago. Today, she is there looking for a job.
This story is sizzling, panty-wetting hot! It is also quite difficult to put down. Believe it or not, there are only around 10 chapters but each chapter is weighty as the whole book is more than 200 pages. I still easily finished the book in a few hours.
While, yes, all the steamy scenes were designed to please me, what really appealed to me was the level of intelligence Jackson and Kylie possessed and displayed. When the authors said they were smart, they were not kidding about it. This resonated with me and made them even sexier.
The Alpha’s Temptation by Renee Rose and Lee Savino is the first book of the Bad Boy Alpha series and you can get this on Amazon. Here’s some good news for you … the Kindle version is still FREE! As in $0.00! So, if you are looking for something smart and sexy, this book is something you should consider grabbing right now!

Don’t let the book title fool you into thinking that this book is a dark romance. While BDSM is implied, its presence in My Stepbrother the Dom by Arabella Quinn acts more as a way for the main characters to reconnect after intentionally distancing themselves from each other for a long time. It becomes the catalyst that draws them closer to each other than ever before and changes the texture of their relationship.
I found their fumbling with BDSM adorable and realistic. At times, I would be either chuckling or squealing like a schoolgirl at specific scenes. Master Royce’s level 1 (possibly level 2) does it for me.
I also like that Cole is not a rich guy or a bad boy. This is a refreshing change from most of the books I seem to encounter. He isn’t straight-laced either but just the right amount of dangerous. And, can I say, that tat on his chest … so hot! I am really looking forward to fogging up my glasses with these steamy books.
My Stepbrother The Dom by Arabella Quinn made me laugh as they fumbled through scenes and had me engaged as the story unfolded. Happily ever after guaranteed. You can get a copy on Amazon, available in Kindle format and paperback.

Princes of Ravenwood by Bryant is a departure from the werewolf tales that Bryant is known for. It follows the life of Riko Shiraishi, a high school senior, and her burgeoning relationship with the Frost triplets – Darius, Elijah, and Forrest.
This book made me breathless! While I, personally, cannot fathom how I would handle three identical hotties, I can see how Riko can fall in love with all of them. It is like they are one person split into three! How do I (in her shoes) choose between them?
Each triplet’s personality is so different from the other that it makes me wonder why most people can’t tell them apart, including their parents. Sure, they are identical, and, sure, they like to pretend to be each other to fool people, but one would expect that close friends and especially family would know who is who.
Riko is the first person to see each of them as individuals and could immediately tell them apart. This, perhaps, is the main reason why Darius, Elijah, and Forrest were quickly drawn to her. Polyamory is a complicated relationship dynamic but I get it. And I don’t think I would be able to love just one of them either if I were Riko. In her shoes, I would not be able to pick just one of them either.
While this story is a reverse harem romance, at the same time it does fall under the young adult/teen category so … more story, and less heat but it still gets pretty hot. You can read Princes of Ravenwood by Bryant on Goodnovel or on Amazon where it is available in Kindle and paperback format.
