It's always funny when authors have cute, unsuspecting covers. When inside is debauchery. I enjoyed this story. I would recommend to those who aren't prudes.

I wasn’t exactly sure what I was expecting but you should suspend your expectations when reading this book. WE open with Anyssa who is a travel blogger and very much in touch with her sexuality. She receives an opportunity to attend an exclusive resort, there is just one catch, she has to go under the identity of someone else. While there she meets the elusive Nazar who is the owner of the exclusive resort. They are instantly drawn to each other but Nazar has particular tastes and needs.

I liked a lot about this book. There are secrets, intrigue, tense family relationships and a lot of steam. Nazar has a past that haunts him and Anyssa makes him let down his walls. This book is way more complex than the book description makes it seem. I enjoyed this book, it’s high spice with BDSM themes so if that kinda thing isn’t for you, consider this your warning. Interesting character ARCs and just enough mystery to keep you turning the pages.

Thank you to Black Odyssey Media and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I'm a mood reader, and I knew this book was going to be good, so I kept pushing it back. But now that I have read it, I'm happy I bumped it up on my list. This was a good book that touched on some heavy topics, like grief, losing someone, and also found family. The bucket list was nice to see as well.

Chapter 23 was my favorite, simply because they had a heart-to-heart, and Nazmair was telling his truth about his ex-wife, Bella, and the baby.

Thank you, NetGalley, and Black Odyssey Media for the ebook in exchange for my honest review.

Anyssa was sowing her sexual wild oats even though she was looking for love. Then she met Nazar. Nazar and Anyssa felt a connection from the beginning. Nazar was fighting his feelings due to his past. I was glad when he finally decided to come around and accept the love that Anyssa was offering him. Nazar showing Anyssa his BDSM side made the book a sizzling read which I enjoyed. I loved the friendship that formed between Anyssa and Camilla. Their decision to do the swap added another dimension to the book. The twist was a total surprise, but it added to the overall flow of the story. Another great book by Ms. Verano that I highly recommend!!

Thank you Netgalley for my advance copy.

This was a fun twist on a rom com! Loved the plot and concept while enjoying some of the twist! Some of them, I didn't see comingl. The two main characters even meshed well. I would have loved to see a little more depth to make them being in love a bit more believable and to make their BDSM partnership more plausible.

Thank you #netgalley and Black Odyssey for the ARC!

90 Days to Love had an interesting premise, but the execution fell short for me. The story focused heavily on the spice, leaving the plot, character development, and emotional depth as an afterthought. While some readers might enjoy the book for its steamy content, I personally wanted more from the romance and the characters themselves.

Anyssa’s journey felt more like a sexual exploration rather than a genuine quest for love, which made the title misleading. Nazário’s character didn’t work for me at all, and their relationship felt shallow, built purely on physical attraction. Add to that a frustrating third-act miscommunication and underdeveloped side plots, and I found myself struggling to stay engaged.

That being said, the book’s pacing, while inconsistent, was enough to keep me reading, and the writing was accessible. If you enjoy erotica with a dominant/submissive dynamic and don’t mind minimal character development, this book might be worth checking out, but make sure to review the trigger warnings before diving in.

Thank you again to NetGalley and Black Odyssey Media for providing me with an early copy of this book. I appreciate the opportunity to read and review it.

When I read the synopsis to this book it sounded interesting; however, the delivery didn't quite do it for me. To me, it seemed like there was a lot going on in the book. I liked the idea of the bucket list but the way it was written in the story it kind of messed up the flow a little to me. Also, if the thing Anyssa wanted the most on her list was to find love before 30, some of the choices that she was making on her travels prior to Belle Baire didn't necessarily seem to go with wanting to check that off the list.

Once Anyssa met Nazir they did seem to have a connection although it appeared sexual at first but then the times they were together away from the sex you could see the connection a little bit more which I appreciated. However, when the revelation was made I felt like Nazir gave up too easily for what he was feeling for Anyssa and I felt like more of a conversation could have been had. Outside of what was going on with Anyssa and Nazir we also saw some of a relationship between Anyssa and Camila and Anyssa's mother that seemed to come out of nowhere and felt like it took away a little from the romance aspect of the book.

Overall the book was okay to me but I think if there had been different choices made in how it was written I may have enjoyed it more than I did. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher Black Odyssey Media for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

“When a daring travel vlogger impersonates her lookalike to complete a bucket list task at an exclusive resort, she never expects to fall in love with the billionaire owner while hiding behind a web of lies“
This premise definitely pulled me in. It was a fun and extra spicy read

My review:
I love how free and transparent Anyssa is with her sexuality. She is living her best life! She is looking for true love. This book starts off very spicy 🌶️.
This was a really fun read. She has this bucket list of things and experiences that she would like to complete before her 30th birthday.
She is navigating between self-reflection, looking for real love and self-love.
I would like to thank Net Galley & Black Odyssey Media for this arc in exchange of my honest opinion.
I definitely recommend this one.

The cover is what caught my attention, and the synopsis reeled me in. Overall, the story was good. Judging by the cover I was expecting a cute rom-com with a hint of spice but this was way spicier than I was anticipating, which I didn’t mind. However, I wish there was more character development than spice. It would’ve helped beef up the story more if there was more of an emotional connection between the characters since at times it felt like as I reader I was skimming the surface of the characters and their connection. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to be an ARC reviewer.

90 Days to Love by Cassie Verano is a light and enjoyable romance with a fun premise, but it doesn’t quite reach its full potential. The characters have chemistry, but their development feels a bit rushed, making some emotional moments fall flat. While the writing is engaging, the predictability of the plot keeps it from being truly memorable. It’s a decent read for fans of quick, feel-good romances, but it doesn’t stand out in the genre.

This book started off really strong with introducing the characters. I found Anyssa and her quest/career super entertaining! Once I got into the book and the spice I was caught off guard because I thought she was looking for love but it was a lot spicier than that. From the cover and the description I felt like I would have connected more to this book, but that was not the case for the most part.

Great book. Made me have all types of different emotions while I was reading it. I would like to read more from this author

I enjoyed reading 90 Days to Love. It was such an enjoyable and sexy read. The characters had me wanting to see what happened next. I couldn't put the book down. Absolutely loved the romance! It was hot! This book is amazing!

Loved this romance novel, light, cute and fun to read.

Loved the caracters and plot through it all.

A good cozy romance to add to your TBR.

** spoiler alert ** I was so excited to read this as the cover grabbed my attention from the start.

I wish I could say that I loved it but unfortunately I didn’t. I understood that it was an erotica going into it (I love a a good spicy book as much as the next person) but I wasn’t expecting the bdsm. Such a far cry from the gorgeous cover. To be honest I almost dnf’d at the knife play scene as I find that kink to be quite triggering & it makes me so uncomfortable. Some of the other sex scenes felt less hot and more like a joke. I’m sorry but calling your vagina a "va jay jay" (FMC said in head but still weird) during sex isn’t sexy.

Other than that the writing style just wasn’t for me.

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a nice read.
At the beginning, I felt like it was a bit long. The intro was taking too much time and Anyssa and Nazar met a bit late for me. But it really picked up at the end. From the moment, Anyssa’s real identity got out, I felt like the book got way better. The story really got deeper and Nazar could really show that he actually cared for her.
Anyssa was a fine fmc. I liked how bold and sexually liberated she was. I just wish her fear of love was explored a little deeper. I had a hard time connecting with Nazar. He wasn’t charming to me and the way he talked about women kind of slightly threw me off.
The family reconnecting at the end warmed my heart and I liked that Nazar and Anyssa got to be friends first after. It was really cute how he showed up for her.
The spice could’ve been a little better, I feel like Nazar and Anyssa needed a little more chemistry.
Overall, it was a nice read.

This was such a fun read!
Travel YouTube blogger Anyssa Kelly is getting ready to turn the big 3-0.
she has complied a bucket list of things she would like to accomplish/experience before turning 30.
Single (newly divorced) and traveling the world she is in search of adventure and maybe even real love. On a Business event she meets Camila Martinez; owner of large vineyard business. They become good friends after discovering not only they look very much alike but share a strong entrepreneurial vision. Camilia and Anyssa sign a contract (Alyssa signs a DNA) Having to care for her dying father, Camilia gets Anyssa to go in her place to an exclusive invite only resort and meet with the property owner in hopes to win a new contract for her Vineyard business. Anyssa must pretend to be Camilia.
Upon arrival at Bell Baie resort on Maritius, Anyssa is shocked to discover the resort caters to a BDSM lifestyle clientele. Determined to help Camilia win the new contract, she decides to stay and signs an NDA with the resorts wealth and very handsome owner Nazir Rivas.
This is such a meet cute story! Nazir and Anyssa bond. The chemistry and tension between these two are hot. Nazir introduces her to BDSM play. Lots of foreplay, toys, bondage, really spicy moments shared. The dynamic escalates and Anyssa learns all about Nazirs personal life and past trauma. She is haunted by her secret identity and just as she realizes things are evolving into more then just play, her past comes back to throw everything upside down.

This is a light romance plot, great for anyone wanting to dip there toes in BDSM and a bit more dark play then your usual Rom-com. If you enjoyed Fifty shades but wanted a hell lot more BDSm play/detail, you will enjoy this. Light but hot. Would highly recommend.

Thank You NetGalley for my advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

This book was one that I was excited to start and had a hard time putting down. I was drawn to this book from seeing the cover and reading the description. The story sounded so interesting and unique. I think Cassie Verano did a great job at capturing the reader's attention. I also loved that Anyssa was a independent and liberated women. Although I liked the book, the plot fell a little short for me. Anyssa has a "30 before 30" checklist and one of the biggest things on the list is to fall in love. It seemed to me that her and Nazár fell more in lust rather than love until the very end of the book. There was not enough of an emotional and romantic connection for me to believe they were in love. I would definitely recommend this book to someone who is looking for a steamy book that will keep them engaged. Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC!
