Bookish Life Updates: My 2025 Reading Journey

Posted on by Letty Reads

Let me start off by apologising for being MIA. Life became crazy when we signed for a new flat on the 12th December. I spent all of December packing, painting the new flat and dealing with chronic illness flare-ups that left me unable to do pretty much anything. Then, of course, with it being the Christmas period, it was hard work getting movers and carpet fitters. It was very stressful, and my body definitely paid a hefty price. We are in the new flat. Mostly unpacked, and are settling in nicely.

So… let’s talk books.

Wrecking Ball By Lindsey Powell

Wrecking Ball follows Kat & Nate. Nate is a crime lord, and Kat owes him money that she can’t pay up, thanks to her ex gambling it all away and then running away, leaving Kat to deal with the mess. Nate gives her an ultimatum: marry him or die. It isn’t much of a choice, and Kat, not willing to die, decides to marry him, but she refuses to fall in love with him.

I want to own you, command you and break you. I want you to need me like you have never needed anyone before. I want to be your everything and more.

‘Lies Out’ by L.T. Linden: A Cute Debut Novel

Posted on by Letty Reads

Lies Out by L.T. Linden

Lies Out follows Connor and Celina. Celina is best friends with Connor’s sister, Gigi, and Connor hates her; he is polite but indifferent towards her for Gigi’s sake. Celina doesn’t know what she has done to make Connor hate her, but she is polite again for Gigi’s sake. Connor ends up in an accident, and Gigi is unable to be there for her brother, so Celina rushes to the hospital for her. Connor then needs physical therapy and someone to check in on him and report back to Gigi. Obviously, she asks Celina, which leads Connor and Celina to spend more time together, and eventually, they cannot ignore the pull. Can Connor get his head out of his arse long enough to not mess this up?

Would I humiliate myself again by kissing her? Maybe I should care about humiliating myself again. Maybe I should think of Gigi and the complication. All the reasons this is a bad idea. But my hand is already at the nape of her neck, tilting her face up. Her lips part on a sharp exhale. And I stop caring about anything else.

Surviving the Hunt: An In-Depth Review of Lucky 14 From Alina May’s Hunter’s Club Series

Posted on by Letty Reads

Lucky 14 by Alina May

18+ Contains Adult Content

Lucky 14 is book three in the Hunter’s Club series; they don’t have to be read in order. You will understand the side characters if you do, though. Lucky 14 follows Holli Oakley, Kyan & Wyatt. Holli, a therapist, has been kidnapped and brought to an Island with 30 other people. She has to survive for 14 days, whilst being hunted. Oakley is the reason Holli has been brought to the Island. He didn’t realise when he signed up and put Holli’s name down that he would be required to hunt and kill. Now Oakley needs to save himself & Holli. Kyan doesn’t know what is going on, but something strange is happening on the island, and now Oakley wants his help to save Holli, and Kyan can’t say no; they have a way of looking inside his soul and seeing things he doesn’t want them to see. Wyatt is the game master, and wants to know who has snuck people into his game. Who is trying to tear down everything he has built? He will find out, even if it means no one survives the game.

Anger makes me tighten my fist. Not good enough to take part in their bullshit little club? I’ll show her. “I can handle it.” “You won’t even fight for your…” she hesitates, “partner. What makes you think you can handle this?” “Fight for her? I’d kill for her!” The words come out in an angry burst, but I realize I meant every word. I’d kill for Poppy.

Seduced By My Stepdad: Snowed In & Falling Hard For This Age Gap Romance By C.J. Riggs

Posted on by Letty Reads

Seduced by my Stepdad by C.J. Riggs

18+ Contains Adult Content

Seduced by My Stepdad is an age gap romance novella from the amazing C.J. Riggs. I have spoken about Riggs many times before on my blog, so it is no lie that I love this woman and her work. Riggs is known for her erotic horrors depicting feminine rage. This book is completely different. Dare I say this is cute? This is 100% a romance, which follows Robyn and Jack. Jack is married to Robyn’s mother, not for much longer, but he is still married to her. Robyn comes to stay with her mother, whom she rarely sees and doesn’t have much of a relationship with, only to find her mother has once again forgotten about her. She ends up staying with Jack since there is a bad storm, which results in them being snowed in. Jack is drawn to Robyn and vice versa, but they are determined not to give in to the pull. Until they do, but only until the snow thaws, then they go their separate ways…right?

“A bit of snow?” I snort. “I don’t want to be stuck here with you for the next… however many days.” “That’s unfortunate for the both of us, then.” He steps closer to me. “Because you’re not going anywhere, little bird.”

Posted on by Letty Reads

Crawl Space by J.N. Bamforth

18+ Contains Adult Content

Crawl Space is a pitch-black erotic horror that follows Iris, who finds out she has been left a house by her Grandma, whom she had never met. She packs up her belongings and moves into this old, creepy-looking house. Where Silas, also known as the Silent Killer, lives in the walls and the basement. A silent killer, who has become obsessed with Iris, but what if Silas isn’t the only unhinged man obsessed with her?

Fucking hell. This little demon is beautiful. My fingers itch to crawl inside her skin, to wear her flesh like a suit. I know she’d be warm and cosy, like a soft blanket.

You can’t turn people into blankets, Silas.

Nora is a respected surgeon who has a big secret; nobody knows that she is the daughter of a serial killer, that while Nora lay upstairs, her father was butchering women in the basement. Nora has given herself a new name and holds her secret close to her chest, but when her young female patients start turning up dead in the same manner as her father’s victims, she starts to think someone knows who she really is and wants her to take the fall for these crimes.

Exploring Love and Danger in Mr. Sin by S.J. Tilly

Posted on by Letty Reads

Mr. Sin by S.J. Tilly

18+ Contains Adult Content

Mr Sin follows Sasha & Vincent, who meet in Vegas and have a one-night stand. Imagine Sasha’s surprise when she learns that Vincent is her new client, the guy everyone has known as Mr Sin. Vincent is just as shocked as Sasha, but since Sasha left before giving him one last tussle in the sheets, he naturally pulls her into his office to rectify that. Sasha can’t let her boss at the PR company she works at know that she has been/is involved with Vincent, but the more that gets unravelled about Vincent, his past & his feelings for Sasha, the less she can stay away. So when a crazy man from the past looks to hurt Vincent, Sasha becomes the target. Can Vincent save her, or will he be too late?

The head is still very sore, so again I have no idea what I have written below…hopefully it makes sense haha.

His lips are full, tipped into a small frown and sinfully sexy. As if beckoned, my gaze snaps up and I find myself looking into the eyes of the Devil.
