Like You’ve Nothing Left to Prove- E. L. Massey: Finished This continuation is fluffy and sweet but honestly I’m not certain of the point. I don’t feel like there was a lot of growth of the MCs. It’s not a bad read if you love Alex and Eli though. 📚💙 #Booksky

The Barbarian’s Tribute - Amy Padilla: Finished I guess I’m in a spicy barbarian bender? It was okay. I actually thought the story deserved more time to develop. The spicy scenes were pretty boring and the the non barb MC was pretty annoying. 📚💙 #Booksky
