Story
I’m a golden boy. A genius law student, the heir to the Carson empire, and the dutiful son. Or, at least, that's what it looks like from the outside. Deep inside, I have the urge to set the world on fire. I keep these impulses in check, rarely indulging in mayhem. Until one night of debauchery backfires, and I'm caught by a villain. I bury the entire ordeal with the rest of my skeletons. That is, until that night walks into my classroom in the form of my new professor. Kayden Lockwood.

Is this a healthy relationship? Not even a little bit. Did I care? Also no.
This is was an addicting read. There's so much in it that could be problematic but I couldn't look away. These two MMCs are both unhinged and equally possessive! But there were also scenes where they were so cute together and we also got really deep emotion at points where they were just completely raw and open with each other so I actually really liked the balance.
This book is dark AF like I said there are plenty of things in here that could be considered super problematic but its fiction and I'm not here for it to be real life so I was a fan. They are just murderous and horny and that's what I wanted so I enjoyed myself a ton while reading this. Just make sure you read the trigger warnings so you know what you are getting yourself into.
The audiobook is fantastic! The full cast of amazing narrators was such a good choice and made the reading experience so enjoyable! I hope Rina continues to do her audiobooks like this because it is everything!
I will say that this is the first MM book I've read that had feminization within a MM relationship. That was new for me and not something I want to continue with.

From an accidental throat punch to a near death by shovel—Don’t even get me started on that vicious pool ball accident where she almost robbed me of my family jewels.

Another great romance from Laura Pavlov, the queen of small-town romances! Lulu was such a fun heroine and I loved her so much. Her relationship with Rafe was cute and full of banter.
This fake dating romance was one of the best I've read in a while! I loved how Lulu and Rafe got off on the wrong foot but ended up needing each other's help. The nicknames were so fun. He calls her wildcat and I love that. She calls him lover boy and I love the way it started out as teasing but grew to be more affectionate.
One of my favorite things about any Laura Pavlov book is the family dynamics and this one had it in strides. I love the big family and how close the brothers all are. Lulu fit in so well. We get a few cameos from previous books including some Beefcake ones!
As usual, Laura picked amazing narrators for the audiobooks. It's done in duet narration by Sean Masters and Vanessa Edwin and they did a fabulous job bringing Lulu and Rafe to life. I'm very excited for the next book after the little sneak peek we get in the epilogue. Highly recommend this book!
4.5/5

Story
I’m not attracted to men.. Or so I thought before I slammed into Nikolai Sokolov.. A mafia heir, a notorious bastard, and a violent monster.. An ill-fated meeting puts me in his path. And just like that, he has his sights set on me. A quiet artist, a golden boy, and his enemy’s twin brother. He doesn’t seem to care that the odds are stacked against us. In fact, he sets out to break my steel-like control and blur my limits. I thought my biggest worry was being noticed by Nikolai. I’m learning the hard way that being wanted by this beautiful nightmare is much worse.

I always thought I’d start the apocalypse. Instead I’ve been asked to help end it. How does one stop the end of the world, you might ask? You gotta knock up Lucifer’s vessel before he does. I know, I know. I was surprised too. But let me tell you, if ever there was an incubus made for the job, it’s me. With a name like Sin, you’d think this should have been the easiest task I’d ever been assigned. And you’d be correct. Except said vessel is a beautiful and dangerously powerful succubus in her own right. Oh, and she’s not interested.

I am so in love with the Mate Games universe! I am obsessed with the way the Apocalypse series is playing out and this is only book one. I know and trust that Kim and Meg are going to make me fall in love with every character (I am already fully on my way).
THE AUDIOBOOK! Are you kidding? The way the audiobooks are done for this world are everything to me. Full cast of favorite narrators, sexy accents, what more could you want?
I am so excited for the next three books to come out the cliffhanger at the end of this one was crazy!

Small town, workplace romance

Laura Pavlov is the queen of small-town romances! I love how Laura is able to create a cast of characters I immediately connect with! The group of Chadwick brothers were so lovable and I am already excited about the potential tropes I could see happening with this bunch. The undeniable chemistry between Easton and Henley builds into a strong relationship that is healing for both of them. While this wasn't my favorite from Laura I can see so much potential for the characters in this town and cannot wait for the next one. The little bit that was hinted at the end of this one left me so excited! I had a bit of a difficult time connecting to Easton and Henley but I loved the chemistry they felt towards one another. Their passion grows so much from the start of their working relationship to the end of the book.
The audiobook was very well done and I always love the narrators Laura chooses for her characters.

Sometimes relationships come along that define you. Someone who brings out sides of you that no one else sees. The reason that you try to be the best version of yourself. Savannah Abbott was my North Star growing up. She was my best friend, my neighbor, and the person who knew me best. But without warning, she was gone in the blink of an eye.

Laura knocked it out of the park with her first marriage of convenience! I have no idea how she can have five-star book after five-star book but this series is an absolute masterpiece.
Hayes and Savannah’s relationship was beautiful! They had a soulmate quality to them that I just adore with this series. They are each other’s perfect match and complements each other so well. I love how much happier and confident Hayes is when he is with Sav.
The found family in this series is truly the best thing ever! The group of guys is a true family and I love how the girls fit in.
I am so excited about the little hint we got for the first book in the Rosewood River series!
The audio for Finding Hayes was absolute perfection!! If you have the opportunity to listen I would highly recommend going with that option. The emotion portrayed through the audiobook makes the story that much more impactful and beautiful!

I loved this book so much Laura Pavlov can DO NO WRONG! This book was freaking adorable and beautiful. I could not put it down. Every time I read a Laura book I try to savor it but I get hooked and it’s over too quickly.
The audiobook was perfect. Narrated by two of my all-time favorites, Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton, completely knocked it out of the park! They bring the characters to life in the most magical way.
Emerson, Nash, and Beefcake were perfection. My heart was so full reading this. It lived up to everything I wanted it to be! Every moment of Beefcake was the best. He is the cutest kid to ever exist. Emerson, Nash, and Beefcake together are such an adorable family. The extended family of the Ride or Die guys and their girls just made me so happy. Laura's family vibes are one of the reasons she is my favorite author!
Tropes:
💚 Small Town
💚 Neighbors to Lovers
💚 Protective Hero
💚 Single Dad
💚The Cutest Kid Ever!

Slow burn superhero romance
Reviewed: 06-06-24
This book had a bit of a rough start for me. I was a bit bored and it was very odd but I kept going and I'm really glad that I did. I ended up being really interested and invested in the relationship between the hero and heroine and in the story. I have been a fan of Mariana Zapata for ages and I know her books are always long but this one really felt it. I think there are parts that could have been cut and kept the story the same. Overall not my favorite MZ book but no where near my least favorite either.

Story
I hate him and I don’t even know his name. The good news is my nemesis has made it abundantly clear the feeling is mutual. He did call me pretty, though, in the midst of a heated screaming match. Which would have been flattering, if I didn’t loathe him so much. But whatever. I don’t care how handsome he might be, or how charming the rest of the world probably finds him, guys who look like aged-out boy banders aren’t my type. Add to that, he’s got a knack for being in precisely the wrong place at the wrong time.
