Merciless and Ruthless by Gina L Maxwell (Playboys in Love #2 and #3) - 5 Stars [arc review]

This is Emi and Austin's story, it can be read as a standalone, but it is the third story in the Playboys in Love series. Ruthless, the second, is still my favorite. For some reason I didn't post my review of Ruthless here at the time, so you will find it bellow this post.

Merciless was freaking adorable! Emi and Austin were so sweet and perfect for each other. For a book that has a somewhat taboo subject, it was surprising to me how romantic and sweet it all was. I didn't even notice the kink 🤣
(seriously didn't. Maybe there is something wrong with me! Haha)

The Blurb:
I’m not always the hero. Sometimes, I’m merciless.

My whole life I've been the good guy—loyal friend, helpful son, dedicated firefighter—but in the bedroom I'm someone else. That’s where my inner villain likes to come out and play.

With a kink as taboo as mine, it’s too risky to play with anyone who doesn’t crave it like I do, so I’ve gotten used to depriving that side of me.

Then I see HER. She’s the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen and my darker half recognizes itself in her mysterious brown eyes. She’s everything I could ever want and thought I would never find.

Our arrangement may seem twisted to everyone else, but the sex is explosive—and soon my soul is demanding to own every part of her. We come from different worlds that want to tear us apart, but I won’t give up on our future.


For her, I will fight. And I will be…MERCILESS.

I already loved Austin in Ruthless. He is charming, witty, funny, caring, hot... what is not to love right? Fireman by day and stripper by night. A combo many would find hard to resist. 
His personally will win you over instantly. He has a huge caring heart and is very loyal to those he loves. 
Emi had a different upbringing them him, she comes from a very rich family and rather sheltered life. That being said, she is a match to Austin in every way. She is also very caring, loving and loyal to those she loves. 
They are truly perfect for each other. Merciless was beautifully written. It is obvious that Gina made great effort to make their story a loving one so that the reader would have no doubt that Austin was always careful and caring with Emi. There was never any doubt that their bedroom fantasies were consensual and enjoyable to both of them. 
This series is the only one I've read by Gina L Maxwell. I think it is time to see what else she has out there!

RUTHLESS review:

Holly Mother of Smut!
What on earth was that?
I finished this VERY hot and steamy book in one sitting and I don't know what to do with my feelings. One thing for sure though, I need a fan :) this was hot hot hot 
AND it had humour! always a plus.
My favorite adult romance writers all add a healthy dosage of humour to their books and Gina Maxwell had me intrigued and laughing from the very first pages. 

Roman was pure perfection. Successful attorney by day and hot dancer by night! I was intrigued and in love immediately. His two sides were unique, blended well together, and were both breathtaking.
Addison was a firecracker and deserving of her Wildcat nickname. Her sassiness and confidence won her many points with me.
They were truly perfect for each other.

Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses #1) by Sav R. Miller

I was very excited about this read. The reviews are good, the people recommending it were people whose recommendations I have liked in the past. And in the end, at did like this one. But I will confess from the start that Promises and Pomegranates  did not blow me away. Blurb: Elena To most, Kal Anderson is a villain. Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares. Doctor Death. Hades incarnate. They say he stole me. Usurped my fiancĂ© and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises. Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was my choice to stay. Kal To most, Elena Ricci is an innocent. Goddess of springtime, lover of poetry, angel of my nightmares. Little one. Persephone personified. They say I ruined her. Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate. Embedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was...

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2)

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2) @glimpses_of_my_books These books are (to me at least) two VERY different books and the reason you should never give up on an author after just one book. I did not like Crow  one tiny bit. But I absolutely loved Reaper . One is a 1 star, while the other is a 4...  Let's start with the good first, Reaper . Ronan is likely to break your heart. Throughout the book we get snippets of his past, accounts of everything he had to go through before Crow and his mother find him and save him from the horrible life he was leaving. In a way, although I wasn't a fun of Crow in the first book, his love and care for Ronan had made me like him a little better. Ronan is not quiet, moody, and broody by choice. It is a consequence of all the things he has been through, the things I mentioned above that will break your heart... He is caring and loving, but he has no idea how to put those things in action. He is, in a way, one of the mo...

Cruel Prince (Royal Hearts Academy #1) by Ashley Jade

Continuing with my newest obsession, bully romance, we now have Jace. Insufferable, hateful, vengeful Jace. Blurb: I never thought I'd step foot in Royal Manor again. But four years later, here I am... back to finish my senior year at Royal Hearts Academy. And forced to face Jace Covington. My first friend. First crush. First kiss. The one I left behind. Only—he isn't the same boy I gave my heart to. This new Jace is as cruel as he is gorgeous. And he's determined to make my life a living hell. Along with the rest of his glorified family and crew of tyrants. They expect me to worship the ground they walk on like everyone else, but I'd rather eat dirt. If Jace Covington wants me gone...he'll have to try harder. Because I've never been the kind of girl to play by the rules. Jace is cruel. Not as cruel as some of the other bully romances I've been reading lately, but he is definitely not a nice guy. Burnt by his past, still hurting from everything that happened...
