Telicia’s Year in Review (2022) with SB3TZ
Out of the twelve books we read together in 2022, here’s how I saw them. The Sweetest: When the Time is Wright by Renée A. Moses: I could not stop smiling, Tanji & Tavier gave me such a good feeling, my mouth hurt from smiling so much. I love how Tavier played all day but not about Tanji. It was just the sweetest thing The Steamiest: Mister Librarian by B. Love Well, they were really nasty, & I loved it The “now that’s new” (Most Unique): Stay Down by K.C. Mills Wise’s childhood I could relate to. It sucked, but he’s unique because even though he did the typical…

Bridgette’s Year in Review (2022) with SB3TZ
We’ve read 12 books together, and from those 12, here’s how I see them. The Sweetest: Love Scammed by Rizly Adams How this one began gives nothing to how it ended. Monae and Hudson just went with the flow of the vacation, and everything being paid for didn’t hurt, lol. They had nothing to lose but their singleness, honey. It was so filling. The Steamiest: Free Game by Kema B. Let me start by saying the reason I chose this one for the steamiest is because where have you heard of someone you are attracted to whispering in your ear and…
Book Review: Finding Us by Honesty Price
Finding Us, book 3 of the Phillips Family Services, is the story of Isaiah and Briana. They have the right feelings at the wrong time and love slaps them in the face when they least expect it. Even though it seems impossible, they’ll get their happily ever after, but when? ~~ Disclaimer: This project is a slow burn that beta readers described as “an amazing emotional roller coaster”. It ends in a cliffhanger and contains references to severe and persistent mental illness and its side effects. Short Review This one was tough. I have no experience with knowing anyone who has a member of their family in a…

At least he didn’t remain the a**hole and lose everything in return. Honesty Price created something unique to me in how she told this story. Coming to the present but…
