Tethered by Kitt Lynn

3 Stars

Livia waited three years for Bronwyn to agree to their mating. Now that they are mated, she hopes it will be like the stories she loves but the reality is completely different. She spends most of her time alone and only sees her mate for a bit at night. He is away from home working on mysterious things for the pack and he doesn’t share what he’s doing. When there is a chance for Livia to help will Bronwyn let her?

This one was a continuation of the series I’ve already reviewed the short stories. Like them this one was good. I really enjoyed the ending of the book and I am interested in seeing the next book. Livia was able to grow into her own but it took a little bit too much time. I also wasn’t a huge fan of Bronwyn. I never felt he really made up for all the bull he put her through for most of the book. He loved and wanted Livia and was willingly mating her but then ignored her because he was too busy protecting the community. He eventually realizes his mistakes but just starts spending time with her. No real apology. The ending did make up for it sort of. Good solid read.

Anger Bang by Avery Flynn

3 Stars

Thea Pope is a paleontologist just trying to get by. She’s expected to go to her sister’s 80s-themed wedding that will be aired on the silver screen. Forced to participate in this whole thing makes Thea anger even more so when she finds out her sister didn’t even want her there. When her sister pushes her too far she decides to pick the one man there the bride can’t stand, the groom’s brother, Kade. It’s petty to sleep with the groom’s brother just to get back at her sister but she doesn't care. What could possibly go wrong?

It was ok straight romance. Lots of humor and low conflict. A very anticlimactic fight between the characters. It wasn’t bad but also not one of my favorites. Good way to spend a couple of hours reading.

All’s Fair in Pucks and War by Elise Faber

3.5 Stars

Joel has never had to work for the interest in someone, but Billie Rose makes him work for her. It’s worth it though because she’s everything to him. When outside forces try to tear them apart will they prevail or will everything fall apart.

This one started right where the last one ended. I had issues with Billie Rose in this one. She has 0 faith in Joel. When someone claims to be his wife instead of asking him about it, she just takes off. It frustrated me. There was a legit answer and he had to chase after her to explain. It’s a whole thing with her. Misunderstanding she runs and he chases and has to force her to listen. Then all is well. Later on, other stuff happens that caused problems because she doesn’t share the load. Other than this I loved the book. It does on the cliff of all cliffs. That made me so incredibly angry. I need the next one now so I can see how their story concludes.

Dazed by the Gods by LM Wilson

3 Stars

Mia wants nothing to do with the Gods. Her friend is desperate to be selected to go to school with the Gods and serve them. When she is picked to go to the academy where she is not happy. She draws the attention of the most sought-after Gods by tripping into them at an event. She is given no option other than to serve them. She is struggling with what she has to do and not sure what will happen.

Interesting concept but ended too soon. Cliffhanger ending with no clear date for a future book made me knock a star off. I need to know what happened and can’t even anticipate when the next one comes out. Mia’s BFF 180 made zero sense and it will be interesting to see if it is explained in future book. There are also a lot of questions brought up and none answered with this one. Would definitely recommend if the other books were out.

Resilience by Etta Pierce

3 Stars

Olivia and Thel are heading back to ISU’s capital Helion. She knows things are going to be chaotic as she is the first woken human as well as being mated to the hottest up and comer politician. When false evidence is released to the media indicating that Thel kidnapped and abused Olivia. Will this smear campaign tear them apart?

This was a continuation of Thel and Olivia love story. It was ok. It added to book one but I might have been disappointed as I was looking forward to other characters and their stories. Particularly because of how book 1 ended. Still good and I will be picking up book 3 to see what happens.

QUEEN OF VENGEANCE

You are INVITED! Welcome to the Brighton High School 10 Year Reunion!

I sacrificed everything for a fairytale ending with my prom king. Only I knew the truth--our happy ending was a nightmare that started when my future husband and his best friends took something from me I could never get back.

I ended it ten years later with an unmarked grave in my backyard, roughly the size and shape of my longtime tormentor. But it wasn't enough. I needed them all to suffer for what they did to me.

The only things standing in the way of my murderous revenge are my two best friends from childhood, all grown up, devastatingly handsome, and determined to save me from myself.

Anyone who says high school reunions are boring have obviously never been to one like mine. Prom Queen is nothing compared to what they'll call me when I finally take my revenge.

Queen of Vengeance is a dark MMF story about an unhinged FMC and the men who love her. Detailed content notes to come, but you all know I write dark and kinky stories that don’t shy away from mental health issues, reproductive health (including abortion, pregnancy, and child loss), and past histories of sexual assault and abuse.

Heat Clinic by Alexis B Osborne

4 Stars

Emily has never had a good heat cycle and with her being single she has a couple of options. One she’s never done before is attending a free heat clinic for relief. After signing all the agreements, she wonders if this is her life. She’s assigned a heat minder beta named Sam. He’s everything she wants but doesn’t have the knot she needs. She needs him to take care of her. The knots are nameless, faceless men who give her what she needs and he’s taking care of everything else. At the end of her first day, her last alpha Marcus gives her everything she needs. Marcus thinks she’s his mate but isn’t sure how she will feel about his beta mate Tom. He’s willing to jump through the hoops the clinic requires but it’s not just Emily he wants with them but also Sam. When the heat breaks will they all still want each other?

These were older characters which is nice to read. A lot of sex but still had a decent story. I would have liked it more with the families since there was so much drama with them. I liked that it was different from other omega books. The clinic is an interesting concept for an omega book. I’ve seen it done similarly but not quite like this. I will be looking for more books by this author as I blew through this one very quickly.

Knot Your Fairy tale by Jarica James

3.5 Stars

Ellie spent 3 months filming a reality show to find a chosen pack. She thought she had found her pack when she is rejected on film for another omega who she thought was her friend. They humiliated me and she wants nothing more to do with the tv show but is contractually obligated to do some interviews. She may have to do those interviews, but she doesn’t have to stay in town. She decides to spend some time with her brother in a small town to get away from everything. She was planning on laying low and avoiding everyone when she finds her fated mates. It starts with one mate and then several more. It’s not smooth sailing with them as there is conflict between some of them and she’s not sure if she can help them resolve the issues. When people from the show wind up in town how will they work it out?

This would have been a solid 4 except for the cliffhanger ending. FMC is a bit quiet at times, but she does get better. I liked all the guys she’s going to end up with so far. Though the ending means that might not be the case. I am curious to see how it all plays out in the next book.

ABOUT THE BOOK

ROGUE DARKNESS
Immortal Guardians Book 12
by Dianne Duvall 
Release Date: June 13th, 2023

New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall brings readers the next stand-alone novel in her “fast-paced and humorous” (Publishers Weekly) and “utterly addictive” (RT Book Reviews) Immortal Guardians series.

Immortal Guardians have hunted and slain psychotic vampires for thousands of years. Now someone is hunting them. Humanity remains oblivious to the existence of immortals, vampires, and gifted ones, so how does this rising nemesis even know who they are and where to find them? Could it be the machinations of an old nemesis—one they thought they defeated? Or is this something new? Because unlike the foes they’ve faced in the past, this one doesn’t just target immortals. He targets those who are near and dear to them.

A gifted one under the Immortal Guardians’ protection, Nicole has worked hard to land her dream job—that of an Immortal Guardian’s Second or mortal guard—and loves working with Sean. He’s smart. He’s funny. And despite the sometimes dark existence he leads, the two of them laugh a lot. Years spent as a special ops soldier prepared Nicole well, enabling her to keep Sean safe despite his tendency to dive headlong into danger. But can it keep her safe? The enemy they face is determined and shrewd. Uncovering his identity may require new methods of engagement and force her to take a few risks.
Sean hasn’t been immortal long, but he knows the rules. And according to the rules, Nicole is off-limits. She’s his Second. His guard. His best friend. The one person who knows him better than anyone else. Though he loves every minute he spends with her, friendship is all they can ever have... isn’t it? Sean soon begins to question that as the two of them engage in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with the enemy, one that will reveal the true depth of their feelings for each other and drive him to abandon the rules altogether.

Hex by Anna Hackett

4 Stars

Jet “Hex” Adler is the goddess of all things technology. She is there to support the team with all intel and comms. She loves what she does and that makes her job easy. She may be lucky with her job but is unlucky in love. She lusts after Cain, CIA agent, but he isn’t interested. Or so she thinks. He’s too invested in his job and doesn’t think there is room for someone in his life, but Hex tests him. When he needs her help catching someone selling technology secrets, he’s not happy with Hex being placed in danger. Will he be able to keep his hands to himself?

I really enjoyed the story. Hex is all in with Cain but he has things to work through before he can agree to the HEA. It was an interesting journey to see. I liked the overall story as well. It flowed nicely and makes me interested in seeing what’s next in this world.

Book 6 Sentinel Security

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarrows

 

4.5 Stars

Violet Sorrengail had spent her entire life planning on becoming a scribe like her father. After the death of her father and brother her mother forces her to join the other candidates to become a dragon rider. She’s smaller than all the other candidates and has been dealing with a lifelong disability. Everyone thinks she won’t last long as she is too fragile. Even if she lasts long enough, they don’t think a dragon will bond with her as there are always more people than dragons. If the tasks and dragons don’t kill her then the other candidates will just, to get revenge against her mother. Xaden is the most powerful wing leader and has sworn to take her out. That is until the dragons make their decision. Will she survive?

This book had so much hype behind it I didn’t think it would stand up. I had never read a book by Rebecca Yarrows and wasn’t willing to buy the hard cover book at that price, so I waited for the library. I ended up being one of the first to get the book. I blew through the dang thing so fast and wanted the spray painted one, so I went out and bought it. It’s somewhere between 4 and 5. It’s borderline I want to reread it already. I loved that Violet is disabled and shows what it looks like when someone has been dealing with long term issues. It’s a different way to view disability but for those who have been living with issues for a long time will relate to this so much. I loved that the Violet grows so much in this book. She is willing to grow and change to stay alive but not everything about her changes. The big one is her character stays the same. There are several twists and turns in the book that kept me reading. The one character that dies was just heartbreaking and made me so mad. There are a lot of deaths in the book but there is just one that was just so nooooo! The ending of the book was a WTF moment and was sort of a cliffhanger ending but not a true cliffhanger. It wraps up the main plots in this book but ends with some new questions. I can’t wait for the next book to come out in November.

Book 1 The Empyrean

Amazon

Denied by Evelyn Flood

5 Stars

Sienna Michaels has been waiting forever for a chance at a pack and family. She’s finally gotten the invitation to the Bonding Trials where she is assigned a pack. She is matched with the Cohen pack, Tristan, Jax, Logan, and Gray. They are her soul bonds and are meant to be. What she wasn’t expecting was for them to be blackmailed into denying her. Someone wants her to be denied which will outcast her and she will be forbidden from entering another agreement and the city. The pack has all the options available, but she doesn’t. No matter what they do to her she has to stick it out, so she’s not denied. Will the pack find a way to claim her, or will she be denied?

I loved this book so much. It is so much emotional damage but in the best way possible. I would not recommend reading this if book 2 isn’t out as it ends on a massive cliffhanger ending that made me so incredibly angry. Like through the entire book I was saying the guys better figure out the best way to fix this because they were massive assholes to her. They never get the chance and that will probably be book two. I very much finished it and wanted to reread it to find things I missed in the first read through. I’ve had a string of 2 star books and this one just hit all the notes for me and I absolutely loved it. Definitely pick it up and read…maybe read it after book 2 is out.

Virgin Hunt Volume 1 by Mel Teshco

 

3 Stars

Melody Needs money for her family so she enters the Virgin Games. She is determined to get the most out of it even if that means having sex with all of the contestants. The first alien she runs into Damon is everything she wants but isn’t who she’s supposed to be with, but he will earn more money and he wants to get her more money. How will this play out?

It was ok. It had some plot with the sex. I loved that the Melody was all about getting hers even if that meant giving up her V card. I would have liked some more world building because all of these people came from different worlds and it was mentioned but not elaborated on.

Doubling Down by Ophelia Bell

2 Stars

My BFF ghosted me and that led to me having the craziest summer ever but them life interferes. Now, years later I am home, and I run into them again. They still blow my mind, but can we make it work?

Wanted more backstory. It was all about sex and no plot. It didn’t make sense why FMC left as her family seemed fine with her relationship. She comes back to visit and it’s all sunshine and daisies with her men. It just didn’t flow for me.

Come Back to Me by Sirena Song

4 Stars

Lizzy has spent years knowing who her fated mates were and knowing she would never be able to be with them. They were her brother’s best friends and they only thought of her as their little sister. Even if occasionally, they have thoughts that are not very brotherly. She is hoping for a fresh start when she goes off to Omega Finishing Academy but knows that’s not going to happen. When she comes back to town after being gone for several years the guys realize their mistake but is it too late for them?

This was a good redemption book. I love that Lizzy doesn’t just take her fated mates back when they discover she hasn’t been lying. They were horrible to her and deserved to grovel. I was and still mad at her brother and her parents. They put everything on her. It was her fault she didn’t fight more for her fated. Like what else was she supposed to do? Her brother actively did things that caused problems, but she needed to make amends. The ending was a little too pat for me, but I still enjoyed the book.

Book 2 Knotty Pines Omegaverse

Vampires of Montana by Susan Copperfield

 

2 Stars

Daphne Niell is known as the Vampire of Montana. She is sent in to sniff out the terrorists and protect the royals. She’s sent to Spain for vacation but finds she’s been tricked. Now she needs to track down the terrorists and keep everyone in the airport safe. To help with the ruse of her being a tourist she picks a tall handsome man in the ticket line and promises him a ride home if he helps her. He’s intrigued by her and agrees and gets pulled into saving everyone. When they get out will he be able to walk away?

I wanted to like this book. It was more about Will than it was about Edward and Daphne. You start to get to know Ed and Daphne and then bam the airport explodes, and the book becomes about Will and his family. It’s also all about horses and cats. I love a good cat, but I wanted to see the relationship develop and it didn’t. It’s been several weeks since I read the book and all I remember is Daphne wanted all the horses and cats to go home with her. That’s it. I can’t remember anything else in the book and it didn’t really add anything to the rest of the series either. Why do I keep reading her books?

Book 1 Agents of the Royal States

Amazon

Catch Me by Sirena Song

3 Stars

Sadie knows what is expected of her. She will marry who her parents want even if it’s not a match she wants but it will help the family. When she finds out she has an aunt she decides to take a break from life’s expectations and see what’s out there. What she finds is the Jackson Pack but they’ve sworn off omegas after being burned by one. Will the pack be able to get out of their own way to keep Sadie and will Sadie pick love over family expectations?

I actually read these out of order. If I had started with this book, I don’t think I would have read book 2. I loved book 2 and this one was just ok. I didn’t connect well with the characters. Sadie was very whiny throughout the book and very waffly. The pack was also the same way. They wanted her but… It got old very fast and continued throughout the book. The writing was good and book 2 is very good redemption book so if you need to read books in order get through it and get to book 2.

They're not sure what to do when she shows up and they find out she's a woman. Her work is too good to not hire her but they have to have iron-clad contract so there's no confusion or issues. Will they be able to keep their hands to themselves or will they discover what they've been missing? 

I really enjoyed this one. I loved each of the men she ends up with. They each had their own personality and brought different things to the relationship. As I was reading after she answered the ad for her job, I was wondering what Hennie was thinking since she hadn’t shown up. I was pleasantly surprised when he came back into her life and gave her hell for disappearing. One disappointment was I very much wanted bad things to happen to Blake’s parents and ex. How hard is it to support your loved one with their dream. It all works out well for her but still. Overall, it was a quick and easy read, why choose in modern setting. Definitely pick it up and read.
