Welcome to Litsy!

I liked this one so much more than the first book! Listened to the audiobook and loved the narrators.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Current audiobook… After DNFing the first book, decided to try again with the second installment. Going well, so far!

I really enjoyed this. I loved Lauren & Junior‘s pursuit of her. But I understand why it‘s in Light‘s Out‘s shadow. It isn‘t as funny, and Junior‘s family drama gets resolved SO quickly and I wish that was more of the plot was real planning and scheming. It‘s so much more focussed on the romance/relationship, but it worked for what it was

Okay I bought this because I have the first and why not … it was okay not great but good

This book is not getting the credit it deserves. I honestly loved it! I think too many people expect it to be exactly like Lights Out, but it‘s different characters and different vibes. However, the writing is still excellent and still has many of those laugh out loud moments! Absolutely would recommend!

4/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Not as good as the first in the series but still a fun listen.

I enjoyed fjos #Audio 🌶️🌶️

My baby boy wa so exhausted!

Immediately thought of Vlad from The Bromance Bookclub especially with Teddy narrating 😂

I knew what to expect going into this, but it was pretty darn raunchy. An enemy to lovers sex worker (OnlyFans, not hooker) and son of a mobster. The trigger warnings made the book sound cooler than it actually was, but it ended up just being a lot of voyeur sex and the word kink a hundred times. Book #53 in 2025

Ooooh boy (as I fan myself). Not for the faint of heart, this one pushes all the boundaries. This one is dark, steamy, snarky, spicy, funny, sexy. Great on #audio but beware listening in public. Did I mention it is hot?

Not as dark as I would have thought, but I liked it. I think she‘s grown as a writer since Lights Out!

While I enjoyed this book, it was not as good as the first book. I didn't like the characters and the plot as much. Very steamy like book one and dark so read the trigger warnings. 3.5⭐️ #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65

Wow, this book is a sizzler! Lots of narrative tension, and a good backstory to balance out the plentiful smut, and appealing main characters, too. I especially liked that Lauren had a solid friend structure for support and reality checks. This felt darker in tone and more violent than the first book, but it sure was a compelling read. I‘m not sure I buy into Lauren‘s relatively easy forgiveness throughout, but other than that, a solid bit of fun.

Happy Tuesday! Today's questions are inspired by my own pre-order. The tagged book appeared in my Kindle library this morning. Everyone is welcome to play. Have a grand day!
