*****Book review*****

>Intense Spice & Plenty of Suspense<

The first half of this series is a mix of highs and lows. The heat is <i><b>spicy</b></i> and very kinky. It's also dark as River Rose Fox is put through her paces in some nasty, horrific ways. Truly heartbreaking. Checking triggers is to be considered.

I do love that she has Mr. Bobby and Polly looking out for her, as well as the rest of her (found) family. There are also the men who are present in her life: Tyler Walker who likes to "heal" her in some very naughty, very exciting ways. Nathaniel Reed who gives her hope for a forever. Kai Briggs, her childhood best friend and first love. Marco Mancini is the biggest alphahole of them all but has the potential to be the best for her.

Even when things go sideways, I love how she perseveres. Aside from with her loved ones, she doesn't back down on tough conversations, be it a jealous ex, a business associate, or a client.

Reading in release order is absolutely recommended, as each book builds on the one(s) before. I think the writing and characters get better with every installment, so it isn't a hardship.

I listened to the books. The narrators, Lenox Louis / Kallestra Spencer, Sean Masters, and Ryan Lee Dunlap, are great. I love the sass, heat, and attitude that comes flying across my earbuds (definitely listen with those on). 🎧❤️🎧

*****Book review*****

>Contract and Lies<

River "Rose" Fox is in over her head with not only her stalker, but also her newest client, Marco Mancini, who takes immense pleasure in pushing every single one of her buttons (don't worry, she pushes back, which I LOVE). Oh, and let us not forget her prior love interests, Kai Briggs and Nathaniel Reed who manage to pop up repeatedly.

-- Book quote
“Fuck, shit, and cunt are my favorite words in the English repertoire. And, Mr. Mancini? I change for no man.”
-- River Fox

Every once and again, River starts to lose herself, but I admire when she course corrects. She stands up to those in her orbit and takes back her power. Unsurprisingly, that doesn't stop people from continuing to try to ruffle her or from being hurt, one of which is an absolute heartbreaker. 💔😢🤧 Yeah, that one required a quiet moment.

How this left off? I expect that to go over like a lead balloon. Hmm... what kind of trouble is in store for River? I can't wait to find out! Seriously, I have all kinds of thoughts, but I am intrigued as to how this may play out.

I listened to the audio book. The narrators are Kallestra Spencer and Sean Masters. As most of the book is from River's POV, I really wish this was in duet, but I like the narrators and can deal. 🎧❤️🎧

*****Book review*****

>Web of Pain<

Yeah, I get it. This is part two of a six-part series. That doesn't mean you should leave me with that ending, ladies! Really? That was mean. 😡 (This is my best pouting emoji.)

River (Rose, Skittles, Psyche) Fox continues to lead an interesting life. This isn't a traditional romance as she's an escort and hasn't met her one... yet. I love that we get to see her personal and professional lives.

I like Nathaniel (Candy Aisle Guy / CAG) Reed, even if he has secrets of his own. He definitely removed himself from friend zone territory and is proving to be quite the companion! 🥵🌶🔥 Things get primal and down right naughty. Not only do I love the heat level, but I also love how River is able to let go and live in the moment.

-- Book quote
'Naïve Rose disappeared the night a square patch of her skin was peeled off by a fucking psycho.'
-- River Fox

There are some dark elements. It bears repeating: this isn't a safe book, nor is it a traditional romance. There's plenty of dirty fun, several kinks, and a few crossed lines.

My opinions from book one of Kai Briggs solidify. I like the new client, Elijah Duke. My heart goes out to anyone in that situation, and how it concludes is inspiring. The psycho? Yeah, I would've been OK not having him show up, but it is part of her journey. Until the next installment....

I listened to the audio book. The narrators are Ryan Lee Dunlap and Kallestra Spencer. They were really easy to listen to. The book just flew by thanks to good writing and narration. 🎧❤️🎧

*****Book review*****

>Interesting Beginning<

I really like how this starts with zero preamble with an interesting client. River "Rose" Fox definitely leads an interesting life. It may not be a traditional career choice, but I appreciate that she embraces it and does what she feels she must.

-- Book quote
'My head suddenly feels lighter, and I’m no longer Rose. I’m River again.'
-- River Fox

I do love that even when things go sideways, she perseveres. Aside from with her loved ones, she doesn't back down on tough conversations, be it a jealous ex, a business associate, or a client.

As for the men in her life, not surprisingly, she has some things going on there. First up is her childhood love, best friend, and occasional lover, Kai Briggs. I'm not a fan. He's too... what's the word?... selfish will have to do. His actions don't line up with their supposed destiny.

Next up is the very fine billionaire, Tyler Walker. Mmm... yeah, there's only one unfortunate downside to him from Rose's perspective. The other parts are very enticing. Yeah, I'm a bit partial to him.

Then we have the neighborhood guy, Nathaniel (Nate, Candy Aisle Guy or CAG) Reed, who is close to friend zoning himself but seems like a good guy in need of a second chance at love. Even if he isn't right for River, I like their budding relationship.

Lastly, we have the unknown stalker who leaves extremely... unconventional... and creepy "gifts." On one hand, I'm curious where this goes. On the other hand, I want him to just fade away. *shivers*

This isn't a safe book, nor is it a traditional romance. There's plenty of dirty fun, several kinks, and a few crossed lines.

I'm intrigued enough to want to see what comes next. The next book sounds very promising. 😉

The narrator, Lenox Louis / Kallestra Spencer, is great. I love the sass and attitude that comes flying across my earbuds (definitely listen with those on). 🎧❤️🎧
