Kate by Tate James

Synopsis “I never miss.” Riot Night changed my life. Coming back to Shadow Grove turned it on its head. I’ve been hunted, stabbed, stalked, tormented, and used. Hate fueled me, lies tore me apart, and in the end everything I thought I knew turned out to be fake. Except… Riot Night also brought Archer, Kody, and Steele back into my life. No matter how much I’ve fought it, hated it, been lied to…

My Favorite Dark Romance Books

I know dark romance books aren't for everyone, but I really enjoy them. What is a dark romance, you ask? Well, it's a lot like it sounds, a romance with darker themes. The characters may be morally grey or anti-heroes, darker themes. There may also be some kinkier sexual elements. So basically, if there is a trigger warning, it's probably a dark romance. Of course, like all things, there is a scale, and…

When you read a book series, your sort of asking for cliffhangers, maybe it's unanswered questions, maybe a character from the past shows up, or maybe, for example, your most favorite character is shot and bleeding out as the story ends.

My Favorite Bully Romance Books

Bully Romance is a subgenre that I enjoy. In a bully romance the hero, or heroes if it is a reverse harem, bully the heroine. Depending on the book the bullying can be pretty mild, to very dark, so just make sure you check for trigger warnings before you pick any up. Though this isn't for everyone, I love dark romance and bully romance books have all of the elements I particularly love.…

Why I Love Reverse Harem Romance

Reverse harem consists of one female protagonist and three or more male love interests.

I started reading reverse harems about two years ago. I have to admit, I didn't think it would be my thing.…
