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.


4⭐

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 🍑🍆💦

4⭐


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

ARC Review - Loving Leo by Cora Rose & Nicole Dykes

  Loving Leo by Cora Rose and Nicole Dykes Behind the Camera Book 4 This was a fun quick read about Leo and Heath. Leo is an up-and-coming cam boy who wants the shot at becoming one of the stars on Carter's exclusive site. But in his quest to stardom he needs to take some risks, risks like filming content in an office that belongs to the man, Heath, he technically works for. But boy is it worth the risk when he is interrupted and the fans go bananas over him getting caught. This begins a cat-and-mouse game where they tease and taunt each other. But the taunting turns into getting to know each other and the connection they felt when they first meet turns into something more. This was a shorter read but oh so funny and steamy. Leo is a darling and Heath is a grump with heart and they mesh well. Even with the age gap and monetary imbalance, they find things in common and that makes them work. Heath is a jealous bean but also very supportive of Leo and I can get behind that. Leo is che...

Review - Humility by Lark Taylor

                                                                   4,5⭐️ Humility by Lark Taylor Damned Connections Book 4 I have been patiently waiting to find out how Danny and Riley became a couple and I wasn't disappointed. We start with a bang (pun intended) and then we have a five-year time jump. In this book, the time jump makes so much sense. Throughout the book, we get tidbits on how their friendship grew and evolved to the place they are today. Without that, I think what happens next wouldn't work. We needed the stability and knowledge that these two were thick as thieves and know each other very well. We meet two people who are against entering a relationship for various reasons but when life happens Danny has to make that big decision that will change everything. Riley is so hes...
