Once upon a time, there was a gold dragon who would
have given her life in exchange for her revenge.
The conclusion we needed. I loved how Shira’s mates
are willing to change to nor lose her. They are completely different mates from
books one. Such a good conclusion.

I am a dragon who hates dragons.
The dragons murdered my family. The dragons stole
me. The fae purchased me. My mates saved me.
My mates imprisoned me.
They think they're keeping me safe. They think they
know what I need. What all delicate, feminine, gold dragons need. A comfortable
den. A well-stocked pantry. Twenty children.
That's not what this gold dragon needs. This gold
dragon needs blood. This gold dragon needs revenge.
I loved the premise of this book. Shira has had a
crappy life because of dragons and she wants revenge. Her mates rescue her just
to keep her locked up … for her own good. She finds a way out to get her
revenge in the best way possible. I loved how she does it. It does end on the
cliff but book 2 is already out. I do want more world building but still loved
it.

One of my favorite songs growing up was Jessie’s
Girl by Rick Springfield.
Ironically enough, I never realized I’d be living
out those lyrics in my own life when I fell for my best friend’s girl—and then
my best friend, John Schmitt, died.
Add on the fact that she was pregnant with his child
and that I’d been harboring feelings for Evelyn months before all of this
happened, and well, now?
Now the lyrics to that song don’t sound so bad
anymore.
The worst part is, I’m the one to blame for his
death which made facing her an even harder pill to swallow, so what did I do?
Pretend like she didn’t exist anymore, even though it was virtually impossible
because she was everywhere in our small town of Newberry Springs.
Flashforward six months and suddenly Evelyn finds
herself in a legal battle she never saw coming, and I can’t just stand by any
longer and pretend like my heart isn’t in shambles.
So I suggest the unthinkable.
I offer to marry her, help her prove that she’s a
fit mother and her daughter is being raised well despite John not being in the
picture.
But Evelyn doesn’t know that being near her gets my
blood pumping, even more so after avoiding her for months.
She doesn’t understand that doing this favor for her
is a way for me to gain retribution for John’s death and take a chance to find
out if she can reciprocate my feelings.
And she doesn’t get that by being there for her and
loving her and her daughter that I’m doing everything that my best friend
couldn’t.
This one I loved so much. I loved Walker and Evelyn.
They both have so much guilt and are working through it when custody is
threatened. I enjoyed watching them work through the guilt and finding their
happily ever after. There is a bit of a pacing issue but I enjoyed getting
there.

Doing all of these books as one review. They are all
similar ish. Taboo premise- step relationship leads to a sexual relationship.
They are all short and spicy well written erotica. If you are looking for this
kind of read Daisy Jane does an amazingly good job writing interesting books.

Nate Pearson was my first everything.
My first friend, first love, and first heartbreak.
Now he's just my ex-husband.
It’s been three years. It’s time to let go of the
past. When a man covered in tattoos walks into the bar where I work, with a
guitar case slung over his back and a determined swagger, I think I’m finally
ready to move on…until I see his guitar. I’d recognize it anywhere. It was the
last gift Nate ever received from his father.
The man holding the guitar is different than the one
I left behind in Nashville, but one thing remains the same, Nate Pearson will
always be the love of my life.
The reasons why I asked for a divorce haven't
changed. Only problem is, Nate Pearson says he still loves me, and this time
he's playing for keeps.
I enjoyed this second chance romance. I felt Amelia got
the short end of this story. Everyone is pushing her to forgive Nate and that
she’s the only one who can save Nate. That is not her job at all but everyone
makes it her job. With the flashbacks to their childhood it slows the book
down. They weren’t necessary. I started skipping them. Once everything comes
out Nate doesn’t do anything to fix the problem but it was still interesting to
read.
Book 1 Bristol Bay
The First Time series concludes with an enemies to lovers romance that has been a long time coming. August and Paisley finally figure out what they’ve been missing.
The first time I got married, I watched the man I love walk away from me.
The second time around, I’m the one signing the dotted line first—this one a man who I realized I never loved.
Once burned, twice broken, I’m done looking for love.
Only my first ex-husband seems to be everywhere I turn—at my work, with my friends, and eventually…in my bed.
I didn’t mean for it to happen.
Twice.
But I know if I don’t protect my heart, there will be nothing left of me if he walks away again without telling me why he did so in the first place.
I don’t know if I can trust this new version of ourselves or if it’s merely the heat between us striking hot.
After all, second chances only exist in my dreams.
And there’s no such thing as a second chance husband.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...until it
doesn't.
Hailey Truitt prides herself on her good decisions.
A former foster kid, she's pulled herself up by her bootstraps, made a success
of her life, and is happy with who she is and what she's done. At least until
she got drunk, got married, and ended up in bed with a sexy stranger...
Star baseball player Alejandro de la Garza isn't
about to let some stranger swindle him out of his hard-earned money. He thought
he knew how to avoid bullpen bunnies, but a drunken Vegas decision threatens to
ruin the safety he's secured for his family.
Both Hailey and Alej think they want an annulment.
The problem? A fan posted a video of their wedding online, and now that his
ailing Abuelita knows, he has to face the consequences of ending this -- both
in the press, and in his private life.
I loved this book. The title is what drew me in and
I stayed for the rest of it. Loved Alejandro and Hailey. I don’t normally go
for a book where strangers marry and stay together but this one worked for me.
It would have been a solid 4 but I need some strings tied up. Hailey has issues
at her school and it’s a plot point but we have zero idea what happens to the
people who caused her so many issues. Alej’s mom was a dick and they storm off
but it’s never mentioned if there is a reconciliation. Overall, going to read
all of her books.
