FULL CREDIT FOR PHOTO: @wikipedia Watched this movie last night. Starring Tom Bateman as (Dr. Adam Carlsen aka Dr. Evil) and Lili Reinheart, as PhD student (Olive Smith) who agrees to “fake date” her professor for him to get a better more beneficial treatment and standing for them both amongst their peers. I enjoyed the movie and would recommend if you are a lover of romcoms like I am. #tombateman #lilireinhart #thelovehypothesis #romcom

RUN LITTLE, DOE ARC by @wheresthesunshine___ AUTHOR: @elenawoods_author ART ILLUSTRATIONS: Dexana Sinnamon / @dexanna_sinnamon PLOT: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SPICE: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ This novella was dark, obsessive, chaotic, and completely addictive. From the second Adrian meets Olivia, he is GONE for her—and watching his obsession take over was absolutely INSANE. His fixation on her only grows stronger as he spirals deeper and deeper into it, and I was completely hooked. This man is possessive, controlling, dangerous, morally black, and utterly unhinged—and somehow, I could not look away. The second he entered the book, I was LOCKED IN. I simply could not put this down! 🔥🖤 Olivia?!?! I really loved her character because she questioned things and was so much stronger than she realized. The tension between them was probably one of my favorite parts of the book! They had some spicy 🌶️ scenes, but also some really intimate and meaningful ones. I loved this novella and would highly recommend it! #runlittledoe #novella #elenawoods #spookyseason #arcreview

My Monster Author: @elenawoods_author Review by: @wheresthesunshine___ COVER ART: Kelly Martin “Your Monster” is an exhilarating, adrenaline-fueled romance—just the way I love these stories. Lily stumbles upon something she shouldn’t have, involving the mafia boss, Damiano. Naturally, she wants to escape, but Damiano has other plans. He embodies the OBSESSIVE, POSSESSIVE, and JEALOUS standard—everything you’re looking for in this kind of story. Damiano has intentions for Lily that serve his interests while also ensuring her safety. I appreciated how Damiano’s emotions transitioned from possession to protection and ultimately to love. I’m a fan of fast-paced narratives, and “Your Monster” delivers on that. Their chemistry was all consuming, and Damiano showed a surprisingly sweet side at times. Another significant aspect of the plot revolves around human trafficking, (*warning*) which might be unsettling for some readers. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and its characters, and I’m eager to read more books from this author. “Your Monster” is book 1 of this series. Stay tuned for more! TROPES: *Dark Mafia Romance *Arranged Marriage *Age Gap *Kidnapping *Dual POV (Which I LOVE!) *Enemies to Lovers * Touch her and d🔪e *”Little Flower” *HEA #yourmonster #damianoxlily #elenawoods #mafiaromancebooks bookstagram, booktok, booksbooksbooks, book recommendations, romance bookstagram, enemies to lovers, dark romance books, dark mafia romance, mafia romance, smut, grumpy x sunshine, readers of Instagram, book addict, steamy reads, book boyfriends do it better, booksofinstagram, kindle unlimited, kindle unlimited books, paperbacks

“LORD OF JUSTICE” REVIEW by @wheresthesunshine___ AUTHOR: @authorariannafraser ARTIST: @illustrated.by.moon COVER ART: @coversbymarikaveil Arianna, your talent for writing always blows me away. Each book you write is better than the last. 🙇🏻‍♀️👏🏻 Andrey Morozov is an attorney who is up for a seat on the Supreme Court of New York. His appointment is in question because he’s single. He takes advantage of Iris when she is arrested for stolen merch. Andrey is willing to help get the charges dropped when she marries him. A reluctant Iris agrees because she realizes there is no other option. This story was so much more than a dark Bratva romance. I loved the feisty nature of Iris who is devoted to her twin Rose. Andrey’s character was dark yet cares deeply for his family; he’s an attorney by day, & LoJ by night. The real draw is chemistry & attraction between the MC’s who each have their secrets, yet there attraction is sizzling. 🔥 Their growth as characters & as couple is so heartwarming. The plot has so many twists with multiple subplots running through the story which really kept me engaged. There is so much humor blended in, as Andrey & Iris navigate their marriage. There is a magnificent surprise ending resulting in a HEA ending for the couple. Trust me they go through A LOT to get there. I throughly enjoyed this book. 5 stars! Highly recommend it! Ordered myself a copy! MEMORABLE QUOTES: “In which nothing kills your mood faster than a “creature of the night” waiting in the back seat of your car.” 🤣 (Iris referring to Vadim Turngenev!) TROPES: *Age Gap (MMCLI 31/MFCLI 20). *Forced Marriage. *Dark Bratva Romance/Forbidden Romance. *The Spice is SPICING! 🌶️ *Forearm porn. (Andrey, I’m 👀 at you.) *Hot Bratva Daddy. *”The Ice-Ice Blue Baby” death stare of Uncle Maskim & father/FIL Yuri. (IYKYK 😉) *Found Family. *Strong Female Relationships. *♥️ Andrey & Nikandr’s strong bond of brotherhood! *Cameo appearances. *Secret Pregnancy. *Human Trafficking. *Senator McShady-Pants (UGH! 😡). *Touch her & d🔪e more than 1x & it will be excruciating painful. *HEA I received an advanced copy from the author. #andreyxiris #ariannafraser #lordofjustice

AUTHOR: @authorariannafraser BOOK COVER ILLUSTRATION: @coversbymarikaveil BOOK ILLUSTRATION: @illustrated.by.moon TROPES: *Dark Bratva Romance *MMCLI is a Sovietnik for the Russian Bratva and MFCLI is a Boutique Hotel Manager. *Forced Marriage (It’s really NOT! Just wait for it. 😉) *Age Gap. *Undeniable Chemistry. *Power Imbalance. *Forced Proximity. *Primal Play. *The “enemies to lovers” banter is top tier! *Found Family. (Arianna had me verklempt.) *Sisterhood: Their bond deepens connection among Caroline & her cousin Liria, along with Caroline & her female bodyguard Vasilisa, also Ava & Violet her SIL’s. *Nikandr has a twin— Andrey! Double the heartthrobs. *Nikandr is the ideal husband: He knows Caroline loves Cheetos, just as his wife knows about his sweet tooth. (Marzipan Cake, anyone?) *JoNO (my nickname for the villain. 🤭) *We get a lot of cameo appearances from past books! *Twists?! Oh. My. Gosh. 🤯😱 *No Cheating & HEA. Nikandr Morozov is the complete package, effortlessly charming and drop dead gorgeous looks, every red-blooded woman in his orbit, would love, especially the stunning Caroline Basha. As the new “Sovietnik” of the Morozov Bratva, Nikandr collaborates closely with Dmitri Morozov, the Pakhan. Buckle up for a riveting adventure bursting with passion! From their very first encounter, it’s unmistakably obvious that Nikandr feels an intense connection with Caroline. Their playful rivalry hits a fever pitch during a high-stakes poker game, where Caroline triumphs, leaving Nikandr both impressed & completely smitten! The moment leaves the foundation for the forthcoming explosive events. The powerful attraction between the characters, combined with their adventurous “enemies to lovers” dynamic, drives the story forward. The journey provides to be unforgettable, brimming with captivating twists and turns! I won’t spoil the fun, but this narrative will leave you craving more. Arianna has once again demonstrated her status as the queen of extraordinary storytelling. MEMORABLE QUOTE “You managed to deal out cards to Alexi Turgenev without wetting yourself.” - Caroline #ariannafraser #lordofpassion #darkbratvaromance #darkromancebooks
