QB makes me

JOIN MY: A WHORE FOR UNCLE TOR CLUB

My first Carian Cole book did not disappoint. She falls in love with her dad's best friend who helped raise her and babysat her for most of her life. You know me and a massive taboo age gap.

You'd think this was a naughty book, and it is, somewhat, but this will actually get you deep in your feels.

Uncle Tor is a metalhead, bike lover, who runs an animal shelter and beats up bad guys who abuse dogs and cats. I know.

That also makes me drenched.

The book is told from both his POV and hers, going back from past to present. It is very emotional, heart-warming, romantic and there's the taboo aspect that makes this pretty hot. Also Uncle Tor made me laugh out loud multiple time, his bluntness, his language, everything about him is perfect. He calls her angel...

Don't come into this thinking it's going to be a naughty, dirty book, it's going to grab you by the balls and punch you right in your heart.

Absolutely lovely, emotional and romantic.

I am, in fact, a whore for uncle Tor.

OK FIRST OF ALL: y'all do such a shitty job at advertising books, this should be illegal. What's the point of saying: I am a bookstagrammer when you DON'T DISCLOSE important information?

This book is a Walt Disney's grandson fanfic.

The most important disclaimer of all: If you are NOT A DISNEY ADULT, this book is NOT FOR YOU.

You just got VERY lucky that I happen to be A DISNEY adult otherwise this book would have been ripped to shreds. I just came into this with the right set of expectations. Even though NO ONE SAID THIS WAS A DISNEY fanfic basically.

I feel like most of the mixed reviews can be avoided if you know how to recommend a book, so here I am doing everyone's jobs.

Anyways, lazy recommendation aside...I came into this with the right set of expectations because I knew this was a romcom.

Basically, the main character Rowan is Walt Disney's grandson. He has 2 other brothers, Walt Disney dies but he leaves behind a letter, he won't let the boys take over the company and the park together it if they don't meet certain requirements he made on that letter.

The boys lost their mom and hate their dad, if they don't meet those requirements, their dad will get the majority of the shares and they don't want that.

Rowan used to be very creative, so grandpa wants him to find that side of himself again, one of the brothers is a womanizer so he has to get married and have kids, and the other is an ADHD kid, who fucks shit up all the time and I can't really remember exactly what was his thing.

This is also a GRUMPY-SUNSHINE book. They are my least favorite, but I actually enjoyed how this was written. The sunshine main character was way less annoying than I thought she would be. We also get some amazing down syndrome representation in this book, since the FMC's sister has down syndrome.

You also get to see a soulless capitalist man turn into a socialist, a guy who cares about his employees, because of pussy but still... it's a pretty big step.

This is VERY similar to the hating game and the love hypothesis, if you loved those, you are going to enjoy this.

The sunshine character works under Rowan, so you also get somewhat of an office/authority relationship scenario.

Honestly, this was spicier than the love hypothesis and the hating game combined, we get 3-4 amazing sex scenes, they are pretty explicit as well. The dirty talk was awesome and not cringy at all. Rowan exudes BDE and I liked the way he talked to her.

This was a cookie cutter romcom that fit every box, it was emotional, romantic, there's some miscommunication trope (twice to 3 times), sex after 60%, a little bit of a slow-burn and a happy ending.

The writing was great and I had a great time. 4/5

Now that I read back on my review I feel like I need to make something clear: when I say Disney adult, I mean DISNEY PARK adult. The entire book happens inside of Walt Disney World, I was there two months ago and had such a fucking magical time, so it got me.

Had the best time beta reading this for Liv, you guys are going to love it.

I am honestly super impressed. I loved Devney's writing. Small town romance, double pov + investigative work.

Winslow is a female cop who moved back to be the new chief in her home town, where her grandfather is mayor. A little bit of nepotism if you ask me, however Winslow is a good cop. She gave badass girl energy and as a female main character she didn't have any annoying qualities, she was reasonable and down to earth during the entire thing and I love female characters like that. I just relate to them so much more.

I relate to female characters who don't have any unnecessary quirky traits, who are assertive, hard-working and reasonable. Her inner dialogues were super easy to follow and it was such a smooth ride.

Speaking of ride, on her first day in town, she meets a man at a bar who says he doesn't live there, and they end up f*cking in the back seat of his truck. The day after she realizes they both lied to each other, she's the new Sheriff and he owns all the ranches in town.

I mean, you go girl. I would have done exactly the same if he wasn't a cowboy.

Cowboys aren't really my thing, but if they are yours, you are going to love this.

Every time she mentioned that Griffin had a cowboy belt, boots and hat and ran a farm, this is all I could see:

I'd get instantly dry. My aversion to cowboys aside.. Griffin actually won me over by the end of this, I just had to picture him in jeans and a normal t-shirt, remove the cowboy hat and boots and we were SETTLED, cause this man has got a mouth on him.

*sings the song: have you ever been f*cked, f*cked, f*cked by a country boy, rammed, rammed by a redneck*

I did listen to this on audible, and if you are an audible girl, I guarantee you... JASON'S VOICE FOR GRIFFING ruined me. Both narrators on this did such an amazing job. I believe half of my rating for this at this moment is because of how amazing the narration for this book was, of course the good writing also had a role in it.

Anyway, back to the plot. Griffin runs the ranches around the small town, where they find a body of a girl everyone thinks k!lled herself. Winslow disagrees, so she has to keep the investigation running and they keep bumping into each other and they realize that their one night stand was more addicting than they initially thought. So they decide to have casual sex for a while.

The sex scenes were awesome, we get a happy ending, double male and female pov. Griffin is rough, but not cringy, he actually gets pretty romantic at the end and we get some pretty exciting plot twits and high-stake scenes.

You know me, I adore anything cop related. This was so enjoyable and I am so impressed, that by the end of it, even if I am not 100% attracted to cowboys, I can look past that and say Griffin can country boy my as* any time.

Amazing writing, plot, characters, this was possibly a 3/5 spice on the scale. The first sex scene is fade to black, but later on we get several different scenes that are definitely butterfly inducing with some amazing dirty talk. Nothing too crazy, but hits the spot. Just a really good time with a well written book, will definitely pick up Juniper or other books Devney has written because, honestly:

I am a bookstagrammer, nearing 200 reviews and over 200 books read in the course of a year. Yes, I know, there are people who read double in less time, but that doesn't make my opinion any less valid.

I have been taking recommendations from booktok, bookstagram for months, sometimes they work - we are obviously allowed to have different taste. However, most of the time, it just feels like people are getting paid to promote the same storyline, the same couple, the same boring world building, the same annoying enemies-to-lovers plot without any essence at all.

I am crazy about erotica and quality sm#t but even that exhausts me at some point. There is only so much unnecessary sex you can read until you decide they don't make you feel anything at all anymore.

I usually feel numb and unimpressed half of the time around here and that is why I make a point of diving head first into less well known authors' works.

The first time I picked up an Elizabeth book, she completely obliterated that pattern for me. If you look back into my reviews for her, they are almost always five stars. I have never seen anyone take contemporary writing to this level, she is a slow burner but I am a slow burn lover.

Quinn is a normal young woman, living a normal life, about to be married to her childhood sweetheart. Nick is a neurologist who is afraid of commitment and keeps stopping himself from taking the next step with his current girlfriend.

The problem is, both of them have been having very weird vivid dreams lately, about each other. They dream about a past life where they were married, in love and they wake up feeling guilty every single day as they look to their sleeping partners next to them. They shouldn't be in love with someone who doesn't even exist.(is this fucking play about us?)

The closer Quinn gets to her wedding, the worse these dreams get, she passes out and her mom is terrified for her so they take her to a neurologist. At the hospital, that neurologist is Nick. They immediately recognize each other, they've been dreaming about each other, without knowing each other in real life and now they have to figure out why this is happening and why does it feel like they have been in love all along.

Elizabeth's writing flows perfectly, she doesn't make a single mistake, there are no repetitions and her stories are unbelievably original. Parallel is no different. Everything I love about Elizabeth is ingrained into this book.

I know this is a massive series and this book feels more like a prologue to the entire thing, but it was one hell of a prologue.

I lied once saying time-travel romance wasn't for me, I forgot I spent my entire middle school/high school years being obsessed with the tv show fringe, if you remember them, this book is for you.

I spent so many years of my life completely in love with this show, it was my entire personality for so long, my e-mail address is inspired by them and has been the same for over 10 years.

Different dimensions, fated lovers, time-traveling, course changing, event controlling, when Elizabeth added the paranormal aspect to this down-to-earth writing, it made it even more mind-blowing. She is so fucking underrated and I feel like it is my personal role in this community to make sure people know of her.

The worst part is how hard every aspect of this book hit close to home, reminding you every choice you make has a consequence, and we only have this life, are you willing to sacrifice your own happiness for the sake of everyone elses?

I think this is why I have been transitioning out of fantasy to contemporary way more often now. This feels so real it hurts, I think this is what I want from a book. I want it to feel real. This doesn't end on a cliffhanger per se, but you won't be able to stop at the end of it and it was actually a very short read, I encourage you to try this out.

I don't think I have the right words to explain this, you're just going to have to take my word for it.

Devney's writing is still great. We did slow down with this book though, in comparison to Indigo Ridge.

Here are the answer to some popular questions: I think this was way less spicy than indigo ridge, (with way less sex scenes) even though the scenes we did get were just as cute. No, you don't need to read Indigo Ridge to enjoy this book, they can both be read as stand-alones.

If you are into single-mother, small town romance, this one might be for you.

I once again took advantage of the most incredible audible narration of the century, Juniper Hill was no different than Indigo Ridge. Jason Clark did a fantastic job for both books, if you are an audible person, I 100% recommend both of these books on it. We get double POV's and the male and female narrators used for these have rocked my world. I believe my review of these books are slightly biased because of how much I enjoyed the quality of the narration.

This story was very cute, romantic and well written. I just personally did not vibe with everything, maybe it was the single-mom aspect? I am not sure. Knox was very sweet, over protective and I did swoon at multiple of his lines, but you know me, a book with police investigation will always be superior. That's why Indigo Ridge is still my favorite.

Slow-paced, but romantic and overall enjoyable. I am just not as impressed as I was by Indigo.

This was such an adorable short story.

Both characters had insane chemistry, the dialogues were funny, sexy and sweet and the entire thing was perfectly written. I had a great time.

We get the sweetest sex scene at the end, and I honestly felt like this was more than just a novella from how involved I felt with them from the begging.

No cringy dialogues, no obnoxious female main character, a MMC who can dirty talk…chef’s kiss. Can’t wait to read the next one in this series.

Parallel's first book is still my favorite out of the two.

That being said, we did get so much more from them as a couple here, and the plot-twists and action scenes of this book were so well written and well developed. As usual, Elizabeth O'Roark can do no wrong.

These two books together are very quick, exciting and fun reads. They are also unbelievably romantic.

The only reason I am not giving this five stars is because the pacing slowed down a little towards the end and I caught myself drifting a little. The first one had a deeper feel of excitement, because everything was fresh and the forbidden relationship helped so much.

I will honestly continue with the rest of the series, since I hear the next two books will be centered around another couple who seem to have an edgier relationship.

Overall, I will definitely recommend this series just from how impeccable Elizabeth's writing is. Even though her flow shifted a little bit with this book, she is still so on point with everything she tries to do.

No repetition, an incredible vocabulary, the best inner dialogues, relatable and down-to-earth characters, the most romantic love scenes ever written and the best banter.

She also expanded so much more on the world building, time traveling, past and present shifts... I feel like I have never read something like this before. The small details she crafted definitely make this book worth a shot. It's a wonderful mix of romance, paranormal and urban fantasy.

Short, sweet, romantic, extremely original plot, and pretty good writing. You're bound to have a good time.
