This anthology was so much fun to read! No matter what type of romance you prefer, I can assure you you will find a story for you here. From the brightest shade of pink to the darkest shade of black, I think Sam pretty much covered everything in this book.
Reading this felt like I was at a wine tasting where the author gives us 20 spicy short stories to try and see in which trope we prefer her, and let me tell you, I enjoyed every single one of them and definitely need more!
My top 5̶ 7 stories:
1. THE GAME! I read this one on Craving Darkness as well, and I am not above begging for the rest of it!
2. Dom Daddy
3. The Rockstar and The Actress
4. Demon Ascending
5. After Dark
6. My Brother's Best Friend
7. Soccer Mom
Quote: “The only thing you’ll regret tonight is walking away from me. Maybe I should have told you that you will spend the night with me, instead of asking if you would.”

ARC REVIEW
It was the first time I read such short stories like that and I could say I enjoyed it.
Every story is catchy enough to spark your interest and keep you on till you finish.
And the end, well it makes you want even more.
It was a nice experience but not one I would try again because I'm more of a whole-plot reader than a short story one.
If you're into 15~20 minutes read with a good touch of smut then I recommend you this book!
What's more, there are triggers for every Chapter, so if you're not comfortable reading it you can just skip it!

🖤 ARC REVIEW 🖤
Rating: 5/5 ⭐
Spice: 4/5 🔥
There's something so satisfying but also so torturous about spicy romance anthologies. On one hand they're short and sweet little snippets of stories that can be consumed in minutes but on the other each story is just enough to leave you wanting more. Guilty Pleasures was a perfect example of this. I enjoyed every last morsel Sam fed me. These stories were so good at sucking me in within just the first couple lines and a few pages later I was left needing the story to continue. I liked that there was a wide range of themes to all the stories. If you enjoy steamy romance and great story telling this one's for you. I'm really excited that one of my favorites is being expanded to full length very soon. I can't wait to read it.

Good for what it is—a collection of different smut stories all in one book.
It’s packed with tropes and definitely delivers on the spice. There’s a lot of variety, so if you’re looking for something steamy with plenty of different scenarios, this is a fun, easy read.
