This review is specifically for Spades by Charlie Nottingham!
I really enjoyed this, oh my gosh. The writing and the world felt effortless to fall into, I found myself very intrigued by the two main characters Brooke and Declan, and I finished this book wanting to know more! You know how some stories that are set in previously established worlds can sometimes feel like…confusing? With Spades, while I do think there is a larger world that the author has created and that exists in other books outside of this one, I never felt lost or like I was “missing” anything. If anything, it made me want to read more and discover the larger picture of the world! Absolutely enjoyed my time with this story and I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Just finished Spades by Charlie Nottingham and I am obsessed. I love her writing style, characters, and world-building. I cannot wait for the next installment and I can't wait for the rest of these stories.

I ARC read Spades by Charlie Nottingham so I can only review that part. It was absolutely amazing!! It takes places in the same world as Eluding Destiny and I was ridiculously excited to meet more of the soulmates!!

This review is specifically for the story “Spades” by Charlie Nottingham. I received an arch copy of Spades and fell in love with it! It was such a good story compelling and well paced. Im desperate to see where Declan and Brooke’s story goes in the future and if the other stories in this book are similar I am excited to read those on launch day!

Amazing
Most were more than excellent, and a few were just so so. I want to thank Kira Nyte for telling me about this special! I have enjoyed it.

Great Boxset!
These stories were all good reads! It’s a great boxset especially at the price it’s at. I do have to say that Spades, has got to be my favorite. I can’t wait to see what happens next in that series! 🔥🔥

A nice change of pace!
The collection of stories here was a nice change of pace from my normal reads, but I did really enjoy Spades and Dangerous Desires! Those were two worlds I could find myself lost on for quite a while!

This is a review for Spades by Charlie Nottingham - I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I am a fan of Charlie's Writing style and Spades did not disapoint!
The storyline was brilliant, If you love shifter/paranormal romances with fated mates and a independent lead female character. Then this book is right up your street!
The plot was seamless, an investigation leads Brooke to Declans door and together they join forces to solve the case!
There is a brilliant balance of character building, action scenes, spice scenes 🥵 and suspense building for book 2!
The spice scenes for me is definitely a 5, although not laced with kinks, it was incredibly well written, easy to imagine how it looked and felt while it's playing out and something that just spoke to the heart as well.
Overall a fab book! And I'm excited for book 2 ❤️
