Best Books of 2023 (so far)
These are the 9 books or series that I’ve given 4.5 or 5 stars to in 2023. I like to think I’m pretty picky about my 5 stars.

Tangled in Tinsel by Trilina Pucci Samantha is an interior decorator with a high-end (and good-looking) clientele. She gets snowed in with four of them. Jace, Reed, Alec, and Cole are the best of friends are love to worship women … together. Both filthy and funny! This might have been my first “why choose/ reverse harem” read, and…
