Hi guys! Welcome to another edition of the mutiny.
What’s the mutiny you ask? Well, I have always said that I wasn’t going to become a review blog and yet, I’ve had this itch in the back of my head… so here we are. I’m waging a mutiny against myself and I’m going to do some mini reviews + feature upcoming reads I’m excited about.
For this specific edition, I’m going to share some my favorite reads from October, so settle in!
Full Disclosure by Camryn Garrett — 5★ — I don’t even know how to express my feelings for this one. I loved Simone so much. She’s smart and silly and wants to be a normal teenager. Her friends and family are just as great and the plot was interesting, informative, and captivating. There are many effortlessly added mentions to the history of the AIDS epidemic. Not to mention, the story is sex positive with a diverse cast and loads of communication. If this isn’t on your TBR, rectify that immediately.
Deadly Little Scandals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes — 4★ — I’m 1000% here for Sawyer and her girls and that’s the reason I wasn’t going to miss reading this second book. The plot was a bit out of control with several threads and time lines, but it was really effective in making me second guess every single person on the page. I’m really hoping we get more from this series.
Angel in a Devil’s Arms by Julie Anne Long — 5★ — I loved the previous book in this series and with the ending/set up, there was no way I was going to miss out on this one. Angelique and Lucien have enough chemistry to choke someone, but it was the constant longing filled looks across the room that did it. Plot wise, it was great with a lot of fluff and a fabulous grand gesture. Oh, and I’m beside myself with happiness at seeing a former mistress get her HEA.
Not the Girl You Marry by Andie J. Christopher — 4★ — I loved these characters and even though I struggled with both of their inner monologues, it was so easy to root for both Hannah and Jack. It seems weird to say, but the blow up and resolution were some of my favorite scenes of this book. I can’t wait to see what Andie comes up with next and I’m keeping my fingers crossed it’ll be a companion book.
The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller — 5★ — Okay, so I already shared my top 5 reasons to read this book, but I couldn’t skip sharing this one again…that’s how much I loved it. Alva and Sam are fantastic and just do yourself a favor and read it.
The Earl of Mine by Kate Bateman — 5★ — This is another book I’ve already featured on the blog, but again, I need you to know I adored this story. Georgiana and Benedict are great characters and complimented each other so well. Plus, the promise of each of Benedict’s friends getting their own story has me excited to see more of G & B and their future.
Of Curses and Kisses by Sandhya Menon — I’m legit here for anything Sandhya writes, but a Beauty and the Beast spin with a boarding school? Count. Me. In.
My Fake Rake by Eva Leigh — This will be my first book from Eva and the synopsis has me setting up to read this one right away. I can’t wait to see how a makeover slash fake relationship is going to play out. There’s potential for loads of banter and I’m eagerly hoping it delivers.
What about you? Have you read any of these books or do you want to?
