Love in LA series by Mia Monroe

In the last few days I have read the Love in LA series by Mia Monroe. This series contains three books, Legendary Daddy, Exploring Daddy and Becoming Daddy. So I thought why not gather all 3 reviews in one post?!? 


4⭐

Love in LA Book 1


Legend and Bentley's love story is a fast-paced one with a lot of heart, swoony eyes and spice. This book is set in the adult entertainment industry with a dash of k*nk. Servitude, impact- & dom/sub play with Legend being a Daddy and Bentley being his boy. 📹🍑🍆💦

Bentley is a go-getter but he is also oh so shy and insecure in himself and how others see him, both professionally and s*xually.

Legend is soft but an assertive daddy. He was hurt in his previous relationship and that haunts him.

The setting of the book makes for some spicy scenes. But also for many heart-to-hearts. 😅🥵🌶

I am a lover of communication and I adored that Legend gently pushed Bentley to tell him what was wrong or as Bentley would have said - "not fair using the daddy voice".

I like the storyline and the side plots regarding Ramos, Finn and Matteo because they are setting up the next 2 books in the series.

I would have wished for a bit more "everyday life" story-building regarding Bentley and Legend. Because I love getting to know the characters that way, but I also understand that you have to move the story forward if you don't want to end up with a 400+ page long book.

Love in LA Book 2


This book had all the feels, I cried, I laughed and I squealed with joy when Finn and Matteo finally got it all right.

Finn is so cautious and insecure after the way that he grew up. He had a parent that loved him very much but when his dad got sick and then passed, he lost a bit of himself and his purpose in life.
We see this in the way that he hasn't learnt how to cook and clean. And I get it because when things like this happen those things are the last thing on your mind.
In this story, this is where Matteo comes in and he helps Finn realise that it is okay to ask for help and that most of us didn't have everything figured out in our mid-20s. So the fact that Finn is a bit lost is okay. ❤️❤️❤️

Matteo is a Daddy Daddy. He wants to take care of his boy and help guide him. The fact that he realises that Finn has to decide for himself if the Daddy/Boy dynamic is for him and also that Matteo doesn't push all too much is wonderful.

The further we get in the book we learn that Finn has steel and strength in himself and in what he wants. And when he finally figures it out it makes for an intense dynamic together with Matteo. I mean the scene in Las Vegas and also the scene with him, Bentley, Matteo and Legend speaks for themselves. IYKYK 🍑🍆💦

Love in LA Book 3


This is the 3rd book in the series and we are finally getting to know Ramos more. In book 2 Ramos meets Zaden and Alex, a married couple, at the photo studio where he works. And there is an instant connection. Zaden and Alex have a daddy/boy dynamic but they are also looking for a 3rd, because they feel they have more love to give. It is an interesting situation Ramos finds himself in because he doesn't know where and how he would belong in a relationship like this. I don't want to spoil too much but there are some twists and turns I didn't see coming, but they made this book so enjoyable. 

The way Alex and Zaden invites Ramos into their relationship speaks of commitment and communication. Even if Zaden, as the boy he is, wants to move things along instantly Alex is there to calm him and tell him, we should do this slow and easy and not scare Ramos away. This showcases that they are committed to making this work.

This book is one the shorter side, just barely over 200 pages. But I feel like we got everything we needed to get our HEA. 

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I may be known to love dirty gritty books with more smut than sense. But this series was a nice break from that. Mind you these books are spicy, but they are also more about finding your soulmate rather than sex, sex, sex and then maybe love. I love that we get the Daddy-Boy dynamic in different formats. In the first book it is about servitude, the second book it is about structure and letting go and in the third book it is about the fact that a Daddy-Boy dynamic can fluctuate and it is not always set in stone. 


Until next time 
XOXO

Review OBEY by Adara Wolf & R. Phoenix

  4,5⭐ Mafia Doms Book 3 The story and both of the characters are morally gray/dark and that is shown in how they interact. Maddox and Knives (Nayeem) meet as teenagers and they fall in love but something happens that upend their relationship and when we meet them 8 years later the love has turned into hate.  Knives hate Maddox so much and I understand why, because of what he went through as a teenager. But he also loves Maddox just as much, so I think that twists his brain and his actions because he doesn't know what leg to stand on.  One thing though that made me mad, was when Knives interrupted a scene between a Maddox and another dom and him not thinking about the consequences for Maddox in regards to subspace and him dropping out of it so quickly.  I do though want to give kudos to Knives and his insistence on using protection when having sex with Maddox.This because he knows that he wasn’t careful during his prison stint and even if he hated Maddox at the time ...

ARC Review - Estranged Heart by Ashlynn Mills

Estranged Heart by Ashlynn Mills There is a fine balance you have to master when writing about heavy subjects like the death of a spouse, a life-threatening illness, cheating and violence and in this book, Ashlynn Mills does so.  The book is gut-wrenching, suspenseful and sad but at the same time, you feel hope and love. You equally love and dislike the characters and the choices they make. This is where the balance kicks in. You as a reader are invited to an emotional roller coaster and along the way you understand why the characters make the decisions that they make. And you have to question yourself what would you have done in the same situation!? The book's essence is grounded in the question; Can your heart love someone you have never met? And if you meet said person, what should you do?  Silas and Elijah have to work for their HEA, and the journey is long and lined with many obstacles. I don't want to spoil the book, so you have to bear with me when I am being vague. I a...
