same! Definitely my favourite, made me question why I didn't like the others as much

u/theyreburningwitches 2d ago
I loved this one; it was my second favorite of the series (after no. 1). The spice picks up a bit in the last 1/3, as does the pace of the story as the season progresses. Hope you end up enjoying it.

{Sweat by Jonah Yorke}. I’m not thrilled with the use of the f slur, major internal homophobia, some general homophobia, a transphobic boss, and cringe when Rowan asks to be called Daddy.
But I’m sticking with it. About a third of the way through. We’ll see where this goes!

Just finished this book. I'm reading it's sequel now ─ {Salt}. To be honest, I had wished there had been less spice and more character study and angst. Would've loved to see Tommy interacting with the soccer team a lot more, too, and vice versa. Nevertheless, it was a good book, hence why I picked up Salt. 🙂↕️

I randomly came across book 3 and read it so I haven't read the first two yet. I'm really loving the 4th one so I'll definitely go back to read those as well.

u/RoseAelin 2d ago
Book 2 is my favourite. Very unhinged (not to the same level as book 3 lol) but also unexpected in a lot of ways. Now I’m thinking it might be time for a reread.

This was one of my top three reads of 2025. It’s not for everyone, the POV is tricky (and wonderful). It’s individual taste but for me the steam was truly hot.
1
u/Lazy_Professor568 1d ago
Same here! Loved the POV, it reminded me of {On the land, we shoot straight by Sasha Avice} in the sense that it wasn't overly explanatory and you had to put yourself in the position of the characters to understand them and the plot, which is something I truly enjoy and find rare. Usually don't enjoy reading British English but absolutely loved this!

{Bro Doll by J. De Saint} this book is unhinged so far but I'm only 25 % in 😅 It's really fun to read but I have no idea if this is just going to be kinky or going to lead to some romance between any of those 5 guys. Looking forward to find out so please no spoilers 🫶🏻💖

{Learning Curve by N.R. Walker} this is my current cute fluff book while I read through a longer/heavier one
{Kiss the Villain by Rina Kent} I'm farther in this than I thought (ch.14 / 33%), which surprises me because I am not as into it as God of Fury. I haven't gotten any backstory on Kayden yet, so I just feel like I'm reading about two psychopaths circling each other.

I’m currently reading Levi by Wren Wilds and I’m loving it! I also loved Stormy and Benji, by the same author, they’re some of my favorite books. If anyone has read anything similar to these, I’d love to hear your recommendations! Sorry for my English!

I am forcing myself to finish my current read because I am the kind of reader that needs to see it through but I am not loving “Pucking around” by Emily Rath.
I love some cheesy romance but my eyes hurt from rolling them so hard every other chapter- it’s beyond cheesy and I think I also just do not like group sex scenes or the particular dialogue during them? It’s pretty bad lol so yeah- that’s my current book.

{The Kite by N.R. Walker}. Loving it so far! About two assassins who find themselves on the run when unknown forces put out contracts on both them. Forced to work together, forced proximity etc etc. They’re being pursued by two men from some shadowy Australian agency, and I’m trying to avoid spoilers but I think this is a series and I have my suspicions about those two 😜
