Hazel’s Harem

I was given a copy of Hazel’s Harem in exchange for my honest review.

Hazel’s Harem is a light hearted Reverse Harem/Why Choose spicy romance. A short bit of information, Hazel was 18 when she got pregnant and left the community to finish her senior year elsewhere. Fourteenish years later, she gets a job back in the community and moves back with her now 13 year old daughter. Hazel keeps bumping into good looking guys and agreeing to dates or sexy times with them. Eventually finding out the two guys are roommates, and later finding out that Hazel’s one night stand that resulted in her daughter, is good friends with them too. So after series of events, she gets to keep everyone.

There is a good amount of spice in the books, including MM scenes. It is a pretty easy read, though it kind of reads like a serial/Kindle Vella more than a novel. I feel there were some unnecessary chapters that could have easily been summarized in a small narrative after the dramatics. Overall, I did enjoy the book. It was overall a fun read. It was interesting to see how everyone blended together by the end.

The Grim Reaper’s Lawyer

The Grim Reaper’s Lawyer was the book of the month read for The Spicy Book Club. This review may contain spoilers, but also not really. It focuses on Joyce, who is a defense attorney, which she hates. She is falling out of love with her career, and decides to say fuck it all the way off, and quits. She finishes up her last case, which she lost, and her client promptly killed her. She was collected by a Grim Reaper named Aiden and taken to Eden. Aiden is being charged with violating 3 rules from the Reapers’ Code of Conduct, which she rejects doing and spends several days in “hell”, which is really only a few minutes.

This story follows their love/hate, grumpy/sunshine, story. Aiden is kind of a jerk, but also a total daddy…I mean baddie. I mean baddie. When he finally says “to hell with it” (quite literally) and allows them to purse the steam that has been building, it is hot. The story is a slow burn up until they decide to pursue a sexual relationship with each other. The agreement provided to Joyce is, she wins Aiden’s case, she goes to Heaven, instead of Hell (which she was slated for).

Joyce meets a variety of characters that become great friends. Each character brings out a fun side of Joyce that really makes you fall in love with her. The book is hilarious from start to finish. It does end on a cliffhanger and I have no idea when book 2 comes out as this book did not release until December 2022. The book is easy to figure out and ends how you want it to, but the journey was still fun!!

I tell you what, the book had an opening quote that I am STILL thinking about and had to share— “For those who feel that you must water yourself down for others- Let them choke.” Man, what words to live by!! I needed this when I was younger.

Overall, I would say the spice level is around a 3.5-4. I felt it took a bit too long to get to anything sexy, but when it did, it was quite a bit. Those two were like rabbits…but I guess it is the year of the rabbit isn’t it LOL. They could not keep their paws off of each other and Aiden is a total Dom. So we ship and approve.

Having said all of this, it was enjoyable. I laughed so much during the story. It was a very light read and I am looking forward to more in this series and from this author!
