This series only took me like a week to finish. Roxie knows her tropes! 🙌🏻 Each book is totally different. If you love some spice and 5 different tropes in five different brother books. These are your first choice
Enemies With Benefits: A Romance
Probably my favourite book of the series. Who doesn't love a spicy but romantic Single Dad Romance? 🥰
Best Fake Fiancé: A Single Dad Romance
This was cringy enough to be adorable 🤷🏻♀️
Break the Rules (Loveless Brothers, #3) by Roxie Noir | Goodreads
This brother may be the most relatable of the 5 brothers. It's kinda adorable
The Hookup Equation: A Professor Romance
Second chance romance. This kinda to me feels more of a multiple chance romance. It wasn't my fave of the series

This book is freaking adorable! Such a fast read too. I think it took me a day to read it. It's too cute not to read

Portrait of a Scotsman by Evie Dunmore, Paperback - Barnes & Noble
The last book of the four friends in this series. This book has a lot of longing in it and it hit kinda close to home. I think this book might be my fave of the four.
The Gentleman's Gambit by Evie Dunmore, Paperback
This is such a cutsy romance book. I needed this one. I haven't read one in a looooong time that the guy fell first super fast. That's not a common theme in romance novels. I'm glad she wrote it this way

I love when a headstrong female character finds her a guy she can truly be herself with without the walls. That's the dream
Mistletoe and Mr. Right by Sarah Morgenthaler, Paperback
This one was really cute and sloooooooow burn but kinda worth it in the end.

This one was adorable because the camp counselor aspect. It was steamy at times but so freaking lovey dovey when needed.

Yes you should read these first. I don't make the rules but the backstory for each character you meet along the way helps you feel even more for those characters.
The Assassin's Blade: Throne of Glass Prequel
I know, I know. It's super popular but I love me some good smut and fae and war and chaos. So, why not right?

This is such an adorable and thought provoking book. I honestly didn't know what to expect when I started it but I'm glad fate chose this book for me from the hundreds in my place.

Puzzles, Games and some love triangle stuff happening...what more could you ask for!

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner, Paperback
I highly recommend this book to anyone. It is such a great heartbreak that you need to automatically put it on your TBR
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, Paperback
Dark Romance
This book wasn't as triggering as all of Booktok makes it out to be. At least not to me it didn't. It was cute as some points because Josh generally cared about Aly and vice versa. They were comfortable enough with each other to open up in all sorts ...
Lights Out (Into Darkness, #1) by Navessa Allen
This one is very different to the first book of the series. Nico is just protector elite in this book. Makes you rethink some things...
Caught Up: Into Darkness Trilogy (B&N Exclusive Edition)
This series is hilarious. Rowan and Sloane is this first book have a slow burn and witty banter for days. There's comedy, some weird moments and the ice cream scene isn't as bad as people make it out to be, I promise.
Butcher & Blackbird (Ruinous Love Trilogy #1)
Lachlan and Larks dynamic is enemies to weird friends back to enemies to lovers to end game. A great combo of witty banter mixed with sexual tension.
Leather & Lark (Ruinous Love Trilogy #2) by Brynne Weaver, Paperback
Secretly (not so secretly), this is my fave book of the trilogy. This book ripped my heart out, chopped it up, sewed it back together and put it back in. Graphic maybe, but this series can be sometimes. The ending of this book SHATTERED ME completely...
Scythe & Sparrow (B&N Exclusive Edition) (Ruinous Love Trilogy #3)
Ok, so I love Josh in the first book but I think this one might be my absolute fave in the series. SO. MANY. AMAZING. SPICE. SCENES!!
Game On (B&N Exclusive Edition) (Into Darkness Series #3)
If you want a grumpy/sunshine dynamic with spice thrown in, then this book al for you. Ava and Alex are the epitome of this trope.
Twisted Love (Twisted Series #1) - Ana Huang - Barnes & Noble
This book of the series is our boy Rhys is a PROTECTOR to his core for Bridget. All of the books in this series are spicy
Twisted Games (Twisted Series #2) - Ana Huang - Barnes & Noble
This was my fave of the four books in the series. Enemies to lovers trope mixed with all the sarcastic banter thrown in. Josh and Jules are just very much "I hate you but I can't get you out of my head" and their spicy scenes are amazing
Twisted Hate (Twisted Series #3) - Ana Huang - Barnes & Noble
This one took me a minute to get into to because of Christian but Stella is a sweetheart. Honestly, these two are the most realistic in their aspects of how people would react in their situations (to an extent. It is fiction after all)
Twisted Lies (Twisted Series #4) - Ana Huang - Barnes & Noble
You're just gonna want to get all three when you buy this book. Spice, demons and more.
Her Soul to Take: Deluxe Special Edition: A Paranormal Dark ...
GIRLLLL!! This series will be a new obsession for you! So much spice 🥵🥵 and it has a pretty cool premise behind each book.
Throne of the Fallen (Prince of Sin Series #1) | Barnes & Noble®
Book 2 is intriguing...and SPICY! Who doesn't love a demon/non demon who wants you 😈
Throne of Secrets (B&N Exclusive Edition) (Prince of Sin Series #2)
This is my fave of the series so far....she is slated for the 3 more for the other three brothers. This one is really for us book girlies 😉 read it to find out why!
Throne of Nightmares: Prince of Sin 3
Mystery/Thriller
This series has become a favourite of mine. I reread it all the time. Cormoran Strike is a private investigator and this first book is his big break back into the PI world when an old colleague brings him a case.
The Cuckoo's Calling: A Cormoran Strike Novel
Second book of the series, this one is a little more gruesome in some the details of the crime. Slow burn series as well. Like super duper slow burn
The Silkworm (A Cormoran Strike Novel, 2)
This one gets intense at times with Robin, Strikes assistant be big kinda the main focus of the killer in this one.
Career of Evil (Cormoran Strike): Robert Galbraith
Book four of the series. You will be frustrated by Strike and Robin by now. Just keep going, those two are end game and we all know it. But this one is kinda sad with the characters surrounding the crime
Lethal White: A Cormoran Strike Novel 4
Book five - this one is interesting as it is a cold case which she hasn't done in this series yet.
Troubled Blood: A Cormoran Strike Novel 5
Book six - this one is a bit of an odd one because they are following leads on a video game kinda. Still slow burn but Robin and Strike are probably my fave crime solving duo
The Ink Black Heart (A Cormoran Strike Novel)
Book seven. Robin joins a cult! Well kinda...it's an intensely insane book of the series. Her next one come out in Sept 🙌🏻
The Running Grave: A Cormoran Strike Novel
Just a great mystery novel. Love the aspect of it being a you get crowd and a school they attend. Makes you think
Truly Devious (Truly Devious Series #1) by Maureen Johnson ...
Maureen writes really well for her main characters. Each book continues into the next somehow
The Vanishing Stair (Truly Devious Series #2)
Just go read these man! They are really good
The Hand on the Wall (Truly Devious Series #3)
She really makes you feel the teenage embarrassment hard core. But she writes her characters really well.
The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson, Paperback
I'm not gonna lie, you will be frustrated after reading this one. I'm not gonna lie like the title says haha
Nine Liars by Maureen Johnson, Paperback
Dude! This book is all plot twists. You just need to read it!
The Guest List (Reese's Book Club Pick) by Lucy Foley, Paperback
Her books are very different and I'm loving them. You have your guesses but plot twists are everywhere
The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley, Paperback
I swear she tells you who and what and where and all the things up front but then plot twist you don't actually have it figured it out
The Midnight Feast (B&N Exclusive Edition) by Lucy Foley, Hardcover
I really like twist at the end 😉
Seven Reasons to Murder Your Dinner Guests: A Novel by KJ Whittle, Paperback
The twist was kinda shocking. I for sure wasn't expecting it. It is a longer book but worth it
The Clinic: A Novel by Cate Quinn, Paperback
This book is just mind blowing and all twisty. Just go read it!
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, Paperback
Ok. I have mixed feelings about this one just because of how she leaves us hanging at the end. It is a great book. She is for sure one of my fave writers ever
The Hallmarked Man (Cormoran Strike Series #8)|Hardcover
