Goalie Goal by Siena Trap

2 Stars

As if spending hours waiting in the DMV wasn’t bad enough, I found myself detained in a back room after I flipped out on the guy who walked in off the street and cut in front of the line when it was my turn.

And who comes to bail me out? The smiling giant who was the source of my rage.

You’d think after I lost my shit on him, he’d give me a wide berth, but instead, he’s got it into his head that we’re together.

Like the guy is seriously unhinged, showing up at my house in the middle of the night, talking about our future children, and calling me Kitten.

In an attempt to get him to leave me alone, we strike a deal. I give him one date, and if I tell him to take a hike after that, he listens.

Too bad for him, this girl’s had enough of men controlling her life. The world I ran away from was a dangerous one, but Sasha Gusev's smile might be even more deadly.

Too bad for me, this goalie only has one goal: making me his. And no is not a word in his vocabulary.

The idea of the book was interesting but I never got past how bitchy Sasha was to everyone throughout the book. I also never understood why he was all in from the first meeting. Like I get his teammates had all found their forever and the zing. Zing doesn’t mean forever love. Yes this couple was together in the end but I highly doubt they would stay together.

Hot for Slayer by Ali Hazelwood

 

4 Stars

When a vampire slayer loses all his memories, the only person who can help him is the vampire he’s tried to kill for centuries in this unforgettable short story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood.

When Aethelthryth—“Ethel” to her modern-day Manhattan neighbors—finds her sworn nemesis Lazlo Enyedi with no memory of who or what they are, an ancient hunt becomes an unexpected chance at forbidden passion. He’s crashing on her couch, solving her sudoku puzzles, and looking at her like she’s his eternal flame (minus the whole bursting-into-ashes part). As his memories slowly return, Ethel realizes she might be in danger of losing more than just her head…

I loved this one so much. Aethelthryth “Ethel” is a vampire and she tangles with Lazlo who is a slayer. When he loses his memory of everything she could have totally taken him out but she can’t. It was such a sweet moment. I loved how much care she gives him throughout the book. When the full story comes out it made me love the book even more.

The Librarian and her Alphas by Layla Sparks

2 Stars

Trapped in a library during a vicious storm is one thing. But to be trapped with three enormous alphas during my heat is another…

Lena

I’ve sworn off pack life forever- especially after my ex-wolf pack left me for dead years ago in the rain.

Living amongst the humans hiding my omega nature is peaceful. A life with books, taking my heat suppressant pill religiously everyday along with my scent blocker creams.

I love my quiet life as a librarian. Well until three giant wolf alpha shifters walk right into my library during a massive storm.

And my omega heat begins.

But when I find out I’m pregnant weeks later, the alphas have demands that I live with them. I’m not quite ready for pack life yet so I have to go into hiding.

I liked the idea of this story but the actual implementation was lacking. I wanted to know why there weren’t any big consequences for the alphas who hurt Lena. The pack she ends up with don’t really make up for how they acted after the heat ended. Also no one questions the amount of sex that she had in library. Yes it happened during a storm but you're telling me no one noticed afterwards. Overall, it was a meh read and I this was a second attempt at reading this author. This one wasn't better than the last one so I am done trying.

Spicy Little Curses by J.T. Geissinger

4 Stars

A reporter’s disbelief in the supernatural is tested when she uncovers a tattoo artist’s sinister family secrets in an enthralling short story by New York Times bestselling author J.T. Geissinger.

Petra is skeptical when it comes to the French Quarter’s creepy urban legends. Until she meets Dax Rousseau, the proprietor of the House of Ink and Blood. The eldritch markings on his flesh tell more than the tale of a doomed bloodline. They come slitheringly alive. And the nearer Petra gets to the maddeningly sexy Dax, the closer she is to being the next victim of his ancient family curse.

I really enjoyed this one. The narrators did an amazing job bringing the story to life. I enjoyed the curse story line. I liked how it all played out between Petra and Dax. The twist towards the end was different and not what I expected.

Accidental Runaway Groom by Carrie Ann Ryan

3 Stars

I picked up a groom on the side of the road on the way to a wedding.

One problem: I wasn’t the bride.

And he didn’t mean to run away.

Sometimes things happen for a reason and six months later, I’m back in Clover Lake and Sharp McBride is single, not-so-heartbroken, and my new best friend.

Only neither one of us wants to be just friends.

I don’t know where his heart belongs, and I don’t want to be the person to break what’s left. Yet I’m only in town for a short time and I’m not sure I’m made for small time life.

And if we’re not careful, this time I might have to be the one who runs away.

You do need to read the first book in the Clover Lake series to get what is going on in this book. I enjoyed reading how MMC and FMC get their HEA. I did want more info on the bride who didn’t want to get married. It was a pretty quick read.

Falling by Christina Lauren

3.5 Stars

One darkly seductive immortal’s powers of persuasion have worked flawlessly for nine centuries—until he meets the one woman who can resist him—in a wickedly hot short story by New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren.

Cat should be afraid of Brigan—the devastatingly gorgeous stranger at a Halloween party whose very presence makes everyone else fall at his feet. But while his supernatural allure drives others to mindless obsession, Cat somehow keeps her wits…even as she surrenders to temptation. When this cursed being realizes she alone can see his true nature, one night of searing passion could break a centuries-old spell—or doom them both.

This was my least liked book in this series. Best parts was it was a really quick read. It was an interesting take on supernaturals. However, the fact she hooked up while still technically dating. Yes her boyfriend had abandoned her and was a major dick but still in a relationship. Also unlike other books in the series I felt like there was no connection between Cat and Brigan. It was all heat and no substance.
