This book holds so many similarities to other Fae-related romantasy books that I had to go back into my goodreads and check that this wasn’t a re-read. It’s also pretty predictable. I could see that “cliffhanger” reveal from the first moment the FMC met the MMC.

Did I hate it? No. Did I find it a bit boring at times? Yes. Will I still listen to the next book? Also, yes, but mostly because it’s currently free with my Audible subscription.

This is a medium burn, turned very spicy MF romance.

I did enjoy the narration and felt the VO was able to perform both the FMC and MMC’s roles well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book took way too long to finish - having started and stopped listening to it over the course of several months because I was bored. I finally told myself I had to make it to the end.

I feel it would have been more enjoyable if I had read it (with my eyes) rather than with my ears. I really didn’t enjoy either narrator. Since it was dual-style, both had to play the FMC and MMC’s roles. I found their versions of the opposite sex’s voices grating.

As for the story, I did enjoy the very loose take on the Hades/Persephone myth. I liked the mafia-vibe and background political machinations with the 13 gods of Olympus.

It’s a brainless listen with some spice. I wasn’t particularly invested in the story or the characters, likely another reason it took so long to finish. (This could very well be a product of not liking the narration. I might have felt more connected if I’d read the story).

In short, I’d recommend skipping the audio version and reading it instead.

What an easy listen. Easton is the perfect book boyfriend In this rival’s sister, he falls first, MF romance.

It’s a low anxiety read with no third act breakup. Medium burns and spicy, it can be read as a complete standalone.

>>>> Sir is more my style, but every time the naughty little vixen calls me Daddy, it makes my 🐓 throb. She’s temptation wrapped up in a gorgeous package, and the best part? She wants me too. <<<<

I loved this dual-style narration of Knot Wanted. I have read the ebook more than once, and thoroughly enjoyed listening to it now. It was an easy binge listen with great narration by Amber Lee Connors (kudos to her portrayal of the Omega's Scottish accent) and Gideon Frost. This book is well worth the credit.

📚 Story Review 📚
Jillian knocked another one out of the park!! I will read (and reread) anything she writes because I know that diving into her books means a sweet romance with low anxiety/angst and hot spice.

Her MMCs are the kind you want to add to your own harem, and her FMCs are never weak, even when they have had a less-than-positive experience with love.

This book is fast-burn and high spice, with MF and MFM+ scenes. It has lots of instant-attraction vibes (a one-night stand leading to more), scent matching, and the soothing of heat spikes.

Another standalone in the overarching Ruined Records universe, I would highly recommend Knot Guaranteed is read first, as there are significant character crossovers (the FMC's best friend and older brother, as well as two of her love interests, are introduced).

Highly recommended to OV lovers!

Genre: Contemporary Rockstar Omegaverse Romance
Tropes/Features: Rockstars and bodyguard, age gap, older brother’s best friends, hurt/comfort, all-in MMCs, he falls first, scent matches, bonding, somno, breeding kink, rival bands/enemies in pack, cock warming, group scenes

I devoured this enemies to lovers hockey romance. The dirty talk and naughty bits were so hot, and I loved the relationship between the FMC and MMC.

Time to jump straight into the next one!

I loved The Friend Zone so much that I immediately dived into this one. Ember and Bash’s story was super high on the angst and pining charts, but it was all worth it to get to that HEA.

Another clean and wholesome romance. Once again, I was surprised that I didn’t miss the spice.

I typically don’t read or listen to no-spice romances, but I had gone in blind, picking this book up during one of Audible’s sales. I am really glad I did. It is an incredibly sweet story. I didn’t miss the steamy bits at all.

Great performance by both narrators.

>>>>> She’s sinfully gorgeous and too damn sweet for her own good, but that just means I get to be her monster.

I love everything about this duet! Ready or Not is such a great conclusion to Vale and her pack’s story. We get the same sweet and protective Alphas from book one, plus second chances and redemption, action and suspense, and one cute baby girl.

After the surprise revelations that closed out Not Ready, I was chomping at the bit for this second part. It was well worth the wait. I fell even more in love with Holt, Bishop, and Mercer, and even came to love Cooper. Give me all the cinnamon roll characters for my own harem!

Vale spends most of this book pregnant (including all the good and bad bits) with on-page depictions of childbirth and its “lovely” aftermath. Like before, the Alphas do an excellent job reminding her how beautiful they find her, how much she is cherished, and how excited they are to meet their daughter. It has all the good vibes!

This is a fast-burn and very spicy why-choose romance with the goodness of OVs – scenting, nesting, slick and knotting, and bonding (no heats, as Vale is already pregnant). The men love everything about her, baby belly and all.

Ready or Not is part two of the Assurance Security Duet and must be read in order.

I highly recommend this OV duet (and anything else written by Jillian).

Genre: Contemporary Omegaverse Romance
Tropes/Features: Marriage of convenience, second chance/redemption, hurt/comfort, scent matches/fated mates, protective vigilante alphas, single mother, touch starved omega, pregnancy trope, on-page delivery, bonding, age gaps, OV elements, stalker, one-night stand, suspense & danger
POV: Multiple 1st Person POV
Relationship Type: Why Choose MFMMM, fast burn, very spicy
Book Type/Ending: Part two of Assurance Security Duet, HEA
TW/CW: Available in book

I totally binged this book! It’s a new-to-me-author and narrator, but I will hunt down more.

From that high-stress opening chapter, to the tear-inducing HEA, I was in the story’s thrall.

It’s a medium burn and spicy MF romance.
