I wouldn’t call myself a book nerd but I have recently gotten back into reading after 15+ years of taking a hiatus and have loved it! I’ve surprisingly read a lot lately and don’t plan on stopping! It’s been fun to get back into something I used to...

Low Heat

These books have a little heat but nothing too crazy and won’t make you feel embarrassed to read in public 🤭

Very cute story, love the writing style. The friendships and banter are great, how Kiki and Malakai form friendship from their situation and learn to understand each other is heartwarming! Would read again!

Another one of the first books I read when getting back into reading. Picked it for the cover, loved it for the story! Would 100% read again!
The Startup Wife: A Novel|Paperback

Medium Heat

Some spice here and there. More descriptive in nature, some scenes may have you looking behind yourself to make sure nobody is peeping a read 🫣 you will 100% be kicking your feet and giggling!

I absolutely LOVE Kennedy Ryan’s writing style! Hendrix is so lovable and a boss b*tch and I loved her story with Maverick! I didn’t read the other books in the series first, though they can be standalone, but it made me start immediately after!

Though Lily and Lorenzo are hardheaded, I loved reading this book! Immediately started the other standalone in the series once I was finished! Loved the matching illustrations for each character!

Loved the enemies to lovers, spicy šŸŒ¶ļø but not too over the top in my opinion.

Ā

This was the first spicy romance book I read after a 15+ year hiatus of not reading. I loved the character development Sutton has and it was a good quick read!
Last Resort by K. Bromberg, Paperback

I started listening to the audiobook and loved the book enough to purchase a hard copy! Love Kennedy Ryan’s writing and story lines! It’s easy to fall in love with the characters!
Reel (Hollywood Renaissance, #1) by Kennedy Ryan
Ā 
Brie Johnson profile picture
Cute Read! I didn’t read the series in order but it’s not necessary as the books can stand alone. I love a billionaire trope and Julian and Dahlia’s second chance romance does disappoint! A few laughs, I love their pranks on each other and some of th...
Love Redesigned|Paperback
Ā 
Brie Johnson profile picture
This series can be read as standalone, however the stories do connect characters. Was a quick read, some of the characters might drive you crazy like they did for me(the sister is insufferable), but a good read nonetheless. A few spicy scenes, I’ve c...

Love Unwritten (B&N Exclusive Edition)

Scorching Hot 🄵

Another recommendation from BookTok. This book had my jaw drop many times 🫢, definitely spicy šŸŒ¶ļø, I was not prepared for this level of heat. A good start into super smutty books 🤭
Priest|Paperback

Brie Johnson profile picture
I only read this book out of seeing it over and over on BookTok… what a wild ride šŸ˜… I would usually never read a book like this, however somehow it was just too interesting not to read more once I started. The entire book is spicy šŸŒ¶ļø, there’s no es...

RUN TO GET THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY READ IT!! Okay I did NOT get the hype around this book, however I was always seeing TikToks/Reels about it. It was in my TBR list and I wish I had gotten this book sooner! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! S...

Another good read, this one is just Morning Glory Milking Farm from Rouke’s point of view. I liked both of their POVs and honestly would read again.

If you prefer to read rather than listen to podcasts this is a good read! I personally like the podcast and audiobook as it felt like a coaching session. I feel like so many people have someone in their life who feels energy draining, and this is a g...

My Insane TBR!

If you’re anything like me, your TBR is a looooong list! This list is mainly romance books(cough, cough, yes lots of smut), maybe a few fantasy(also with smut šŸ˜‚), some thriller. I can’t lie, I LOOOOVE sprayed edges on a book and nothing makes me ad...

Kennedy Ryan’s writing is just so great, I seem to read books out of order in series so I didn’t start with this one, however you can read the books as standalone.
