A quick, “hate to love” work place romance. You know when two people are destained to end up together whether it be romantically or sexually? Yeah that’s our main character and her boss. Everyone around them can see it. 
I was laughing the entire time and this book did was I imagine the hating game tried to do. 
Fun, flirty, with light BDSM. I love the holinight novellas so much for seasonal reads!

How can I tell you to read this without being pushy? READ THIS If your new to dark romances or Y-Choose this is the book for you! 
The audiobook was phenomenal, it was a true production and I would love Katrina to narrate book two (Devil in the Dark, Releasing March 1st) 

Check all trigger warnings before reading, seeing as this is a dark romance it features dark/mature content. All of which can be found there

This book is HOT HOT HOT.. its called  the MILF book for a reason! It was super fun and flirty to read! 
 I did listen to the audiobook for this title so thank you to the publisher and producers for and early audio arc!

If you're in a slump or just looking to add another queer title to you TBR This one should definitely be on your radar!

You follow Cassie a senior in college just looking for a fun distraction at her local bar. She spots Erin, an older women who seems mature and ways to hot for Cassie. After a fun one night hook up they think they'll never see each other again but what they don't know is they have someone who connects them in a hilarious  way. 

It was spicy, if was funny. I cried and related to Cassie in so many ways with her family, her self-image and impostor syndrome. Erin is really the embodiment of Bad bitches have bad days but they're still intelligence, hot, funny and caring- Even with a "good intentions but poor execution" 

P.s. There's a shower scene <3

P.s. There's car scene 

P.P.p.s There's a strap on scene

I loved the idea. How the story of Cinderella was used as political propaganda and our main character was ready to dismantle a throne and centuries of ideals.  
However the addition of magic and history and plot twists were too many and muddled the story. Too many lines that kind of lead nowhere. 
I loved the sapphic, black romances and our main character staying true to herself and her people- Sophia is a strong lead and I wish I could read more about her and her love interest after the story was over. 

Kalynn is such an amazing author and building a world or a scene I'm excited for her other works. She's so good at writing gore and haunting moments!
