Review – Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan
I don’t even know where to start with this book. It was so good. It took me apart and put me back together again, and I don’t even know how to talk about it. -Smut Matters

Review – The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine
I don’t care that Amber is a sociopath. I don’t care that she’s a bitch. No woman, no person, no human, deserves that no matter what he or she has done. -Smut Matters
ARC Review – Stripped by Tara Wyatt
This was one of those books where the conflict, in this case, the fact that it’s not permitted for partners to be romantically involved, seems to have a pretty clear resolution, so it’s frustrating when the characters don’t see it. -Smut Matters
ARC Review – Zero Hour by Megan Erickson
I generally expect a lot from Megan Erickson, both on her own or when she collaborates with other authors, and this book didn’t disappoint. -Smut Matters
Review – I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
Overall, this book ultimately came down firmly in the middle for me. I thought the mystery itself was fine, though I thought Mackintosh tried to hard to throw in twists and surprises, most of which ultimately fell flat. – Smut Matters
ARC Review – The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
Once we get a better handle on exactly what’s happening, this book turns into a pretty standard unreliable-narrator book, -Smut Matters
Quickie ARC Review – Promise Not to Tell by Jayne Ann Krentz
Overall, this was just an ok read for me. Fortunately it was a quick read, but I won’t be going on with the series, or going back to read the first one. Hardcore fans of Jayne Ann Krentz may enjoy, but I probably wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. -Smut Matters
Review – Call to Honor by Tawny Weber
I really wanted to go higher than 2.5 stars because the book was well-written, the mystery itself was decently planned out, though not completely solved; this will clearly stretch out over the course of the series. But I couldn’t go higher. The initial concept just made me too mad to see beyond it. – Smut Matters
Review – Downward Facing Death by Michelle Kelly
If you’re looking to get in on a cozy series from the ground up, you’d do yourself a favor to grab this one. – Smut Matters
Quick Review – Truly, Madly, Guilty by Liane Moriarty
Liane Moriarty is excellent at digging into the psyche of her characters; they’re always so real I feel like I just had dinner with them. – Smut Matters
