*****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*****

>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. 🎧❤️🎧
