My friend Rachel likes big books and she cannot lie. Well, neither can I. Someone out there in internet land wrote an entire version of “I like big butts”, but with books. It’s pretty funny, but I’m not about to quote the whole thing. Ha. I may be a little sleep deprived. Can you tell?
I enjoy a great book whether it’s novella, or the size of the Detroit phone book. This post is for those who love big, uh thicc…books (yeah, books) that they can curl up into their favorite reading place and read for the day. Hopefully you find new reading material here, if not maybe a reread. As always, Happy Reading! – Quare Eligere

From Book 1: I knew Iโd ruffle feathers, but the day I walked into Rockport High, I had no idea the cheap shots that were to follow.
You see, the Ballers and I have a history. They play basketball. I play basketball. But they hate that I play basketball as good as them. And the only thing they hate more than that, is me.
Thatโs right. Iโm a girl, and I. Can. Play. Make no mistake about it.
The Ballers can do their worst, but I will earn a spot on the RHS boysโ team. This is my last resort to make a name for myself, and I canโt let them interfereโeven if the so-called kings of the school have declared war against me.
Game On is a reverse harem high school bully romance novel.

Cruel. Heartless. Quarantined.
The ruthless boys of Everlake Prep never saw lockdown coming.
But the virus isnโt their number one enemy.
I am.
And as if being confined to a boarding school for the elite wasnโt bad enough, now Iโm stuck in isolation with the boys who hate me most too.
Saint, Kyan and Blake. The Night Keepers. Or so they call themselves. Theyโve embodied the Native American legend which lives in this valley, taking on the role of the monsters who lurk in the forest. And though they act like beasts, they may also be the most tempting creatures Iโve ever seen.
With the virus escalating and my dadโs name splashed through the news, my entire world is falling apart. What he did has cast a dark shadow over me. And the Night Keepers want to make me pay for his crimes.
Then things went from bad to worse when I touched the sacred rock. A rock which supposedly holds a curse to bind me as the Night Keepersโ slave. And as crazy as it sounds, I decided to play along. Because there are things about me they donโt know. Things my dad has hidden from me for years. All I can be sure of is that I have to find a way to escape this school. But until then, those savage boys are making my life a living hell.
As the virus sweeps through the country and the world twists into something ugly and unknown, the kings of this school become true monarchs. Even the teachers bow to them now. And Iโm kinda glad about that โstay six feet away from one anotherโ rule, because without it, I know theyโd rip me apart.
At least thereโs a silver lining. Iโm cosying up to Coach Monroe. My hot as hell, brooding P.E. teacher who has a vendetta of his own against the Night Keepers. And with his help, I may succeed at doing more than escaping the clutches of these heartless fiends. I might even destroy them along the way.
My father taught me how to be strong.
How to prepare for the end of the world.
So this isnโt going to be the end of my world, mark my words.
But if Iโm able to use my mind and body to bring these assholes to their knees, it might just be the end of theirs.
This is a high school bully romance series where the main character will end up with more than one love interest. It may have triggers for some as it has off the charts angst, dark love-hate themes, scenes of intense bullying and some violence (not aimed towards the main character) and is not for the faint of heart. Prepare to enrol at Everlake Prep. Bring your hand sanitiser, face masks and toilet paper to barter with, but donโt expect to hold onto them for long. Because itโs time to go into quarantine with the Night Keepers. And everything you own now belongs to them.
I lived my life as a prisoner.
Iโve always been told stories about the real world, but I havenโt seen it for myself. All I have ever known is pain.
And darkness.
They tell me I have been blind since birth.
When I make my escape, I think freedom is finally within my grasp...
Until Iโm captured by the paranormal police for a murder I didnโt commit. Apparently, I have powersโpowers I have always suspected myself of having. Normal people canโt see through other peopleโs eyes, right?
Thrust into Nightmare Penitentiary, I meet a group of hard, alpha, psychotic inmates who believe Iโm the answer to all their prayers. Me? Iโm just trying to survive and figure out what it means to live. My new home isnโt just a prison, but a labyrinth with horrors around every corner.
But what if the cost of my life is my freedom? Am I willing to trade one cage for another?
Welcome to Nightmare Penitentiary, where you come in handcuffs and leave in a body bag.
This is NOT a bully romance. These men are all hardened criminals and extreme alphas, but they adore their female. Be prepared to enjoy a painfully naรฏve female lead who slowly grows as the book progresses and a group of psychotic, murderous males. This book contains strong language, sexual situations, and a reverse harem romance. This book is 130,000 words and the first in a duet.
Babyโs heat is comingโฆ
After years of assuming she was a beta, discovering her omega designation in a biker bar surrounded by alphas isnโt exactly fulfilling any fantasies for Baby. She only wanted to have a fun night, not get knotted, bitten, and bonded. Now Babyโs entire life is about to turn upside down. With her heat on its way, she needs to find a pack, a nest, and alphas she can trust.
The Late Night Howlers have given up hopeโฆ
After years of waiting for an omega to choose them, this motorcycle club of alphas is ready to move on with their lives. Until one sweet woman takes a chance on them. A rundown bar and apartment building is no place to spoil a new omega but the Howlers are determined to do right by Baby when she needs them. All they have to do is keep her satisfied while resisting the mouthwatering temptation to bite and bond her, permanently.
When a rival MC comes sniffing after Baby, her safety is put at risk and the Howlers may be torn apart forever.
Thoughts from Paige
The Sweetverse series is an omegaverse, and each book focuses on a different character. It is a very popular series, but note that some books are by Kathryn Moon and some are by Lana Kole. I've only read the first three books (I lied, then book with Lola as the MC is a two parter) and while I enjoyed them, I haven't re-read them.
The only way to escape is to die.
For eighteen years Iโve suffered at the hands of the Hunters. For eighteen years theyโve done their best to break me, to tear me open and unleash the terrifying monster that lives within.
Until the day they go too far...
When a desperate escape leads to another brush with death, Iโm forced to place my trust in the hands of four formidable strangers. Wild and untamed, their feral natures call to me, their warrior hearts make mine come alive. And when they offer me a place to stay while I heal, I canโt say no.
But the secrets I carry are deadly, and my past is a twisted, evil nightmare better left forgotten.
They may think they want to know me, they may think the secrets they guard behind hard eyes and closed expressions come close to the ones I keep. But should they ever discover just who theyโve let into their home, just what I really am...their hatred could be the one thing that finally breaks me.
And if I break, the darkness inside will tear free.

What do you do when the guy youโve loved since you were fourteen is sent to the most dangerous prison in Solaria for saving your life?
Okay, so maybe he doesnโt love me back. And maybe getting sent down would seem insane to some, butย Iโm Rosalie Oscura, champion underground cage-fighter and alpha werewolf from the infamous Oscura Clan. My family wrote the book on criminal organisations and Iโll be ruling this place by the time the next moon rises.
Then I just need to get to work on busting us the hell out of here. โUsโ being me, the lion shifter Iโve loved for ten long years, and the most notorious criminal in here - a sinful incubus whoโs been condemned to isolation for committing an unspeakable crime.
Whatโs the worst that could happen? I mean, short of being rejected by my mate, the black-hearted werewolf who rules over my sworn enemies, or getting myself noticed by the sinister vampire guard who has a dark vendetta against me. But how likely is that?
The trouble is, I need the help of those four alpha males to get out of here. And they happen to hate each other almost as much as they hate me.
But I always did love a challenge. And I never did learn when to back down.
So how hard could it be to make them accept me as their leader?

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and DieselโThe Vipers.
They run this town and everyone in it. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses.
Yes, sold me.
They own me now.
Iโm theirs in every sense of the word. But Iโve never been meek and compliant. These men, they look at me with longing. Their scarred, blood-stained hands holding me tight. They want everything I am, everything I have to give, and wonโt stop until they get just that. They can own my body, but they will never have my heart.
The Vipers? Iโm going to make them regret the day they took me.
This girl? She bites too.
