Shameless

Author: Elizabeth Kelly

I think it’s time for a reread. It’s my second one of the year. Our guy gets into some trouble with the MC club he was a part of to help his family make ends meet. He needs help and has no where to go do he goes to our shy lawyer friend who he saved off the side of the road recently. Here we go.

You go girl. Take what you want even if it’s from a stranger in a biker bar bathroom. You deserve it. Your ex is an awful asshole.

Oh yes the three month dry spell because your ex is an asshole and Riley wouldn’t stick around for you to explain.

I want an amazing gay friend like Roman. He’s one of my faves.

Oh how wrong you are Roman. They’re gonna last forever and ever.

She doesn’t need respect she needs to rail her good and show her how desirable she is. Get your head out of your ass and eat her.

Still as good as I remember.

Her Captive Wolf

Date read: June 27, 2022

Author: Kristen Strassel

Series: Sawtooth Shifters #1

I’m jumping genres a lot right now. This one our girl has a soft heart. She runs the forever home shelter and hears about dog fights so obviously goes to try and stop it. Of course these aren’t ordinary dogs they’re shifters. Our pack alpha is trying to save his pack who has been forced into fighting rings. Of course she’s gonna save them and be his mate.

Oh girl you’re gonna need more than two beers in a minute. He’s not just a wolf he’s a werewolf and he’s about to change for the first time in six months. You’re gonna freak.

Hmm I think the grammatical errors and the ambiguity in some sections made it hard to stay in the moment. There were some parts where I felt like I needed more background or the way it was worded made it seem like I should have known more background. I think they had a cute relationship but I do agree that he pushed her a bit too hard. I know everyone deals with their grief differently, but she’d been drowning for so long it seemed a bit quick that he was able to help her move on.

Author: Emma Bray

Our guy meets our girl briefly but knows she’s his. He doesn’t know her name or anything. When he does find her again she’s up for auction, but he’s not gonna let anyone else have her.

Ok I kinda liked that one except it made it seem like our guy was like a shady businessman at the beginning but then a legit one at the end. If it had been clear that he was a straight shooting billionaire from the beginning I would have liked it better.

Novella from the free romance ebooks day. This is one is where our girl wants a birthday she’ll never forget. I’m sure she’s gonna get that with a title like this.

I thought he was in town for a wedding. He’s actually in town for work. He’s the consultant evaluating her school for budget department cuts.

Omg I didn’t see that coming. Jake is married. I’m sure there’s an explanation. Is she gonna wait around to hear it.

They are at a gala and he warns her not to bid on the time share. It was for Branson which is where my parents bought into theirs. I just found it funny.

I’m so sad that she had to be attacked again for them to get back together. I’m glad she got the help she needed and I can’t believe we didn’t get the proposal but it sounds like he had the ring and was ready to. I liked this read though. It was pretty good.

With a little black mail she’ll get what she needs.

Well I thought Aria was going to black mail him but she had Cassie do it instead.

Hmm. I think I got a bit bored at the end and was just ready for it to be over after they finally got together. I think Cassie was a bit harsh when Aria told them she’d slept with Lucas. It all worked out in the end though.

Next, it’s Paul’s turn to fall. He’s the newest boot knocker. He’s also very anti guy but his best friend jack is into him. Then Jack gets Lissy as his client. He’s falling for her but she also wants Paul. Obviously.

I guess they beat Paul to the barn. I think Paul is having trouble because he is attracted to Jack. He just doesn’t know how to process that yet.

Hmm. I liked the him having to come around to being bi. It was good but I feel like it had more story than the others which had more sex. I still enjoyed it though.

Series: Boot Knockers Ranch #2

I found the full set of the boot knockers ranch for super cheap. It’s been five years since I read the first one but it sounds like this is a whole new couple so I don’t think I need to remember much. This one our girl is looking for help to get over her guilt during sex because of her upbringing. She gets the ranch bad boy who has some secrets that maybe love can help him face.

Oh I think Damien can’t write or is dyslexic or something. That seems early to give me such a blatant hint to his secrets.

This may be slightly bitter of me but girl I understand. It’s really hard to get behind the nerdy unattractive guys you’ve been seeing so it’s easy to fall into old habits and feel guilty, but when some cut hunk pays you attention it’s super easy to fall in bed with him have a good time and not feel guilty. Sorry that was very snarky of me. I think they could have a good relationship if we actually talk and not just stay in bed.

Ok it actually turned out kinda sweet. He left the ranch and she’s teaching him to read and write. Also, she’s pregnant now. I kinda like that she figured out that he couldn’t read on her own and he didn’t have to tell her.
