Well, I can honestly say that May has been my best reading month in forever. I havent read this many books in one month since, I think, January of last year! Glad I'm getting all this reading in before I go back to school this fall and it tanks again. Lol.
I had a few really great reads, and a few not so great ones, but without further ado, here is my May wrap up!

1. A King So Cold ♥️ ♥️
By
Ella Fields
*ARC
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
Genre: Adult Fantasy
Release Date: May 6'th, 2020
Page Length: 431
Thoughts:
Ugh, I loved this book so much. Ella's writing mixed with fantasy creates one hell of a good book! This is my first, and so far my only six star read this year.
2. Love Under Quarantine
By
Kylie Scott & Audrey Carlan
*ARC
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 5'th, 2020
Page Length: 275
Thoughts:
I liked this one. I love Kylies writing but this was my first read by Audrey Carlan. It was pretty funny at times, but some of the dialog was pretty cheesy.
3. Shadowed Lover
By
Lauren Dawes
*ARC
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️
Genre: Adult Paranormal. Shifters
Release Date: May 11'th, 2020
Page Length: 414
Thoughts:
This was a mix up for me. I really enjoyed the story and the writing, but it never said in the synopsis that it had several pov's. It leads you to believe that its just the two main characters pov, which is not the case. And I don't really enjoy multiple povs. I felt like it really took away from the main story and I would have enjoyed it way more if it had just been the two main charcaters.
4. California Dreamin'
By
Saffron A. Kent
*ARC
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 14'th, 2020
Page Length: 179
Thoughts:
I loved this novella so much! I dont usually enjoy novellas, but Saffron did a fantastic job with this one. It was just the perfect length and it was steamy and so much fun to read.
5. Crowned By Hate
By
Amo Jones
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: November 14'th, 2017

Damn, talk about a mind f**k! 🤯 This book was one crazy ass roller coaster ride. So many twists and turns. All you can do is hang on for the ride.
6. Crowned By Fate ♥️
By
Amo Jones
*ARC
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
Genre: Dark Romance

Wow. Um, all I can say is hold on for dear life and enjoy the ride. 😂 SO DAMN GOOD!!
7. Hood River Rat
By
K. Webster
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️
Genre: M/M Romance. New Adult/High School
Release Date: April 30'th, 2020
Page Length: 295
Thoughts:
This was my first read from this author because to be honest, some of her other books have put me off of reading her yet, but I loved Hood River Rat! Roan and Hollis were amazing, and the story itself will have you on the edge the whole time. Be aware though, I feel like this book is a little more on the darker side.
8. Bound by Temptation (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, #4)
By
Cora Reilly
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️
Genre: Dark Romance. Mafia.
Release Date: August 26'th, 2015
Page Length: 212
Thoughts:
I wound up loving Remero and Lilianas book so much more than I thought I would. This was one of my least anticipated to read in this series, and wound up being probably my favorite so far. I love these two. ❤️
9. Splinters of You (Retired Sinners MC, #1)
By
Anne Malcom
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5
Genre: Dark Suspense
Release Date: April 30'th, 2020
Page Length: 310
Thoughts:
This book was recommended to me by a fellow blogger, and damn am I glad for that! I really enjoyed this book. The writing is beautiful. I think if you like books along the lines of what Tarryn Fisher writes, then you will also love Splinters of You.
10. Varsity Heartbreaker (Varsity, #1)
By
Ginger Scott
*ARC
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5
Genre: Contemporary Romance. Mature YA.
Release Date: May 28'th, 2020

Thoughts:
I wound up loving this book so much more than I thought I would. It was a lot of fun to read and very east to disappear into the story.
11. Royal Bully (Mafia Royals, #0.5)
By
Rachel Van Dyken
Rating: ☕️☕️
Genre: Dark Romance. Mafia
Release Date: March 30'th
Page Length: 106
Thoughts:
Meh. This was a very confusing, and not necessary start to this series. The only explanation that we really needed and that helped in this could have been a flashback scene before in the first book. I really didnt even want to finish it, but I pushed through.
12. Gas or Ass (The 'Cuda Confessions, #1)
By
Eden Connor
Rating: ☕️
Genre: Dark Erotica
Release Date: April 17'th, 2015
Page Length: 202
Thoughts:
This was one of the worst books ive read in a long time. It was like a horror movie I couldn't look away from. 😂 I'm not even going to review it because I dont really have anything nice to say about it. Lol
13. Be My BrayShaw (Brayshaw, #4) ♥️
By
Meagan Brandy
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: June 3'rd

Captain is my favorite Bradshaw and I absolutely loved getting to see into his head and Victria's. Their story was a very emotional one. I loved it.
14. Little Hoodlum (Hood River Hoodlums, #2) ♥️
By
K. Webster
Rating: ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
Genre: Dark New Adult Romance. Age Gap.
Release Date: May 28'th, 2020

Thoughts:
This book gave me anxiety. 😂 The good kind though! It had me from the first page and I couldn't put it down. This was a nerve racking read but it is so good.
*Trigger Warning*
This book deals with themes of sexual assault, and some of the scenes are graphic.
