Love Starves by Brandy Slaven

 

Love Starves, (AntiLove Bookclub)
Brandy Slaven
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blurb:
If there’s one thing Blythe loves more than shopping, it’s definitely not being court forced into therapy. As the only child born into a billionaire family, the world is at her fingertips. Except the one thing she’s always wanted. A family. With detached parents that are never around, Blythe copes using untraditional methods never feeling worthy of attachment. Through the joining of a book club, she learns there are people willing to give a piece of themselves to her no matter what. Will she be able to finally accept that she is indeed worthy, or will old habits slowly begin to resurface? Find out in this second installment of the AntiLove Bookclub. All eight AntiLove book club novels can be read as standalones. This installment is a WhyChoose, twisted romance with lovers to friends. Trigger Warnings: Drug use, eating disorders, and self-harm.


Series

Love Starves is the second book in the Antilove Bookclub series. Each book is about a different romantic group so you don't have to have read the first one but I suggest you do. I really enjoy the whole premise of this series. Women who have had a reason to not romanticize love. Who can come together for their bookclub but help each other in life. It's just such a lovely concept.

So this book is about Blythe and she was really hard for me to like. Once you get further in the book you do understand her reasons. There were still some things that she did that I just found a hard time getting over. I do feel for her though and the hand she has been dealt in life. She uses being a massive B to protect herself and push people away. I was really ok with that. It was more of the "rules" that she broke, one in particular, that I had an issue with. 

Overall though I did enjoy the story. The guys were great. Such a mix of characters and I feel like their pasts were very interesting as well. I connected with them more than with Blythe. The guys went above and beyond.

So yes, this wasn't my favorite book by Brandy but that's on me. I just didn't like Blythe. I think Brandy did a great job with the writing. I still love the book club and I will still be reading future books to see what happens with the rest of the group.

Kingdom Fall, A Zavarelli

  Kingdom Fall, (Underworld Kings) A Zavarelli ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: I was a nanny in need of a job. He was darkness personified. I had little to call my own. He was filthy rich, powerful, and dangerous. The assignment was simple, and my goal was too. Take care of his son. Keep my head down. When he least expects it, destroy him. It should have been easy. I thought it would be until I looked into his stark blue eyes. Kissing the enemy is a bad idea, but so is falling in love with him. He doesn’t know my crumbling foundation is built on lies. When he discovers the truth, I’ll find out if he’s as brutal as I believe. I came here to steal his life. I didn’t count on him stealing my heart. Kingdom Fall is part of the Underworld Kings series. If you read the Society Trilogy then you already know a little about the world this series is set in but you don't have to read that trilogy to read this book. In this book we have Alessio and Natalia. Alessio is a Sovereign Son in IVI....

Taking a Break

  Taking a break Hello! I randomly decided to come on here today and it looks like someone actually does visit this site on occasion. I feel like I owe it to you to let you know that I won't be posting any new reviews for a while. I've been really burnt out on reading for a while now and while I do still read every now and again, I just don't have the same passion about it. When I write a review for the blog, I feel it has to be more in depth and informative and I just don't have that in me right now. Also, the book world just disappoints me sometimes and I don't feel like I'm in the head space to give it my all. Anywho, if you are reading this, thank you for being around and supporting me for however long you've been here. I appreciate you. Maybe one day I will get back into it and start reading and reviewing again. In the meantime, I do still review the books I read on Amazon and Goodreads .
