Review ~ The Darkest Chase by Nicole Snow

The Darkest Chase by Nicole Snow


I have really tried to get into this one, but I’m just not getting a connection with the characters or the storyline. There is a lot of inner dialogue and the characters are strange to me. Even the storyline is odd. It’s like I missed something. I decided it wasn't woth continuing.

Two complete opposites fall into a heart-ripping fairy tale in this scorching hot small-town grumpy sunshine romance.

Life is just full of crazy surprises with teeth.
One day you're the forever single wallflower keeping up the boring family furniture shop.
The next, you're getting mouth-to-mouth from a scary hot stranger who wants to make your life a thriller novel.
Yes, my disaster has a name.

Micah Ainsley.
Everything I'm not. Nothing remotely good for me.
He's all wolf—moody, savage, and ferociously protective.
I'm a human puppy.
He thrives on secrets.
Everybody knows what I had for breakfast.
He's experienced. So experienced.
I've never even been kissed.

But when he needs my help to take down a rich creep who just happens to be my new client, I'm game.
I'm ready to live a little.
I'm eager to prove I'm more than a hot mess with a cross-eyed crush on a coldhearted man who's too old for me.

Then another surprise bites me in the face.
The night Micah claims me.
The moment our wrong becomes reality and there's no going back.
The darkest chase is on and it only ends one way—sweet dreams or total devastation.

All the small-town sugar, spice, and angsty goodness in one epic slow-burn romance. Remember to breathe as you watch Redhaven's coldest man thaw for the little spark he'll fight like mad to keep.

Review ~ My Dark Romeo by Parker S. Huntington and L.J. Shen

My Dark Romeo by Parker S. Huntington
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

After 45 chapters, I’ve decided this book is not for me. I can’t connect to the characters at all. I have nothing against those who want to start a family, but Dallas is such a spoiled rich girl and her only dream is to have a baby? In today’s society, I can’t see it. The way she was spending her husband’s money (who she was forced to marry due to scandal) like she had no disregard for it at all.

And Romeo, he was very self centred, used Dallas for his own revenge, and treated Dallas poorly. And this is the first time I have ever heard of someone’s virginity been taken with a tongue… that doesn’t seem realistic to me. The way he shut Dallas down, not wanting her, but obsessed by her. I just didn’t get them. I honestly don’t know how this book has such high ratings and so many people have read it.

Title: My Dark Romeo

Author: Parker S. Huntington and L.J. Shen

Series: Dark Prince Road #1

Genre: Dark Contemporary Romance

Published: March 1, 2023

My fairy tale turned into a cautionary one.
Inked in tar and sealed in tears.

From Wall Street Journal bestsellers L.J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington comes an explosive marriage of inconvenience... between a tarnished Romeo and a reluctant Juliet.

It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball.
A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger.

But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love.
He’s fueled by revenge.

To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage.
His rival’s betrothed.

To me, he is a man deserving of poison.
A dark prince I refuse to marry.

He thinks I’ll accept my fate.
Well, I plan to rewrite it.

And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die.
But Romeo? He perishes.

Authors’ Notes: My Dark Romeo is a standalone reluctant arranged marriage romance between a cruel billionaire heir and a feisty heiress unafraid to fight back. It is set in the decadent Dark Prince Road world.

Review ~ Mr. Garcia by T.L. Swan

Mr. Garcia by T.L. Swan


What can I say about Mr. Garcia ... I tried … I really did, but after 44% of the book, a twist and another fight, I just couldn't read it anymore.

April and Sebastian are 31 and 43, and act like teenagers. I didn't really like either character and the drama annoyed the hell out of me too. So, unfortunately, I didn't even waste my time on finishing this book.

Title: Mr. Garcia

Author: T.L. Swan

Series: Mr. Series #3

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Published: May 29, 2021

He was gorgeous, older and guarded.
I knew he was trouble from the moment we locked eyes.

We met at work, on my first day as a barista.
He smiled, I melted …. then he tasted my coffee and threw it away.

Again, the next day, and the next.
He hated the coffee, yet still came back.
I knew his game.

He called my coffee death in a cup.
I called him god’s gift to women.
I wasn’t lying.

Then we ran into each other outside of the coffee house, and that’s when things got interesting.

No longer suave and sweet with impeccable manners.
Mr Garcia had a darker side, his appetite, thick and heavy.
He set me on fire.

Unable to help it, we fell hopelessly in love.
The highest of highs.

But his demons are dark, as are mine.

I’m not sure if we can make it and I know that I have two choices.
Walk away now to save myself.
Or try and hold on and let love be the light.

I choose option two.
