Once I got over the NA-ness and made it through the first third, this got better. Glad I took a break instead of DNFing 👍🏾

Taking a boredom break -in the middle of a sex scene!?- for the night. Maybe it’s just an off reading day and it’ll better hold my interest tomorrow 🤞🏾

I didn’t love how in the first book among a group sex starved mermen, the black merman was portrayed as extra hypersexual, irresponsible, and basically dangerous, so since these are standalones in a series I decided to skip straight to his book in hopes of decreasing my earlier 🤨🧐😒. So far it’s just a slightly different version of the exact same overly long sex scene from book 1.

Wow. Another one that didn’t bother telling me what I was getting into til it’s damn near too late. I don’t do mpreg. At all. Periodt. 👏🏾 warn people about that nonsense early.

Seriously thinking I need an “I came for the weather” shelf bc that’s definitely why I’m reading this 😆 a good stormy background and I’m in for better or worse 😅

It’s not M/M when one “M” has a freaking vagina!👏🏾💁🏾‍♀️ I’m pissed the author sprung that on me this late in the game. I wasn’t loving it anyway so now I’m definitely out.

Rn one H is trash (wandering off to read while gang rapes occur in the next room doesn’t make you innocent, asshole 🤗), the dialogue feels unnatural in places, and sadly I’m feeling like this might be a DNF.

Let’s not discuss or overly analyze my newfound interest in mythical creature romances/erotica. Nope. Nothing to see here. 😅

There’s erotica then there’s porn on page; this is the latter- which I potentially wouldn’t mind under the right circumstances! LOL- but I don’t remotely have a pain kink and the “romance” here basically seems like mind control which, ya know, = squicky. Doubt I’ll read the second one.

Sometimes you just want quick and dirty ya know?🤗 a lot of typos so far for something so short but whatevs. I didn’t pick this thinking it’d be Toni Morrison 💁🏾‍♀️😆

Well this worked for me 😅👍🏾 #epub

I never wanted to need to read this but here I am 💔

So far neither H is particularly endearing but I’m hoping the high ratings on this aren’t wrong and it’ll turn around 😅🤞🏾

I really don’t think I can do NA-and definitely not YA- but hopefully I can soldier through 😅

It’s getting ridiculous that they haven’t figured it out yet and I can’t take much more😫

Not a fan of the online dating/secret identity thing, but KM’s made it reasonably work before (in a book I only read bc it was the 2nd of 3 in a series) so I figured it’d be fine. So far though I’m super not liking the arrogant, over 40 dudebro, whore MC which is what’ll ultimately kill this for me unless he shows some insecurity/vulnerability/humanity soon.

I will let myself be defeated by the sink cost fallacy this time bc I’m SO CLOSE 👏🏾but know that this was almost a serious DNF. To be both predictable and ridiculous is so soap opera.

🙄😒🤦🏾‍♀️ oh ffs!! This is definitely worth a star off.

😒🙄 this thing is a ride. Parts of it I’ve enjoyed but it’s also hit a lot of my het rom cliche peeves: shitty moms, slut shaming the non h, general misogyny from the H, NLOG, virgin, doesn’t know she’s beautiful, the one @ 65% that made me walk away for awhile (won’t spoil), etc.. 🤦🏾‍♀️ despite my many hate highlights tho, this might be 3⭐️🤷🏾‍♀️😅

even though this started out shaky af for me, and I still have an issue or two here and there, I’m currently here for it. Hope that sticks 🤞🏾😅

Oh wow. I thought I could handle het if it was in a MMF ménage, but some outta-the-gate grossness from H2 tells me I was probably wrong (nevermind the NLOG vibes h’s in MMF tend to give off and the added layer of this h’s virginity🤗). Hoping this won’t be a DNF but the way my blood pressure is set up… 💁🏾‍♀️

29 smirks may not sound like a lot but it sure felt like a lot.
So glad this is almost over. Much skimming in the last 2/3. Frankly, I was just hoping for more rain bc I needed *something* to redeem this, but nope.

Hella unnecessary drama 🙄🎭
