Limits by Susie Tate

4 Stars

Millie knows she has limits. She wishes she could be as outgoing as her colleagues are, but she just can’t. Povlos is the opposite of her and he needs Millie to step out of her comfort zone and do more with everyone. The problem he nicknamed her Nuclear Winter. He talks others at the hospital into befriend her and pull her out of her comfort zone. The more time he spends with her the more he wants to keep spending time with her but when she finds out what his original motive is will she forgive him?

I loved Millie and just wanted to give her a hug. Also kick Povlos in the balls for being an asshole and hurting her. This book had all the feelings. Millie is not neurotypical, and you can see her struggles throughout the book. Povlos is out for himself through most of the book. He eventually pulls his head out of his ass, but it took way too long. He does try and make up for being a dick but still not a fan of his. Millie is amazing.

Ember and her Marshals by Rosemary A John

2 Stars/3 Stars

Ember thought she had her forever until he disappeared. Ending up in custody not expecting to ever get out she gets comfort from where she can. When they put her up for auction, she was not anticipating her the mate who left her to get her. There’s more at play then she realizes but she’s not sure she can trust anyone let alone the man who already took another omega but the men just might prove her wrong.

I wanted to like this more than I did. The ad I saw described it differently than the actual book, so I had expectations that were not met. That is probably why its rating is so low. It was fine omegaverse book. Nothing really happens in the book. Issues are brought up with the world at large and nothing seems to be resolved. The pack comes together and that is it. I also didn’t like most of the pack which made it harder to read. Meh skipping.

Railed by the Krampus (Valley of the old gods, #3) by Dalia Davies

3 Stars

She thought no one would take her seriously when she said she would sell her soul for a bit of coal for her family, but they did. Krampus is willing to give her the coal, but nothing is free. What she doesn’t realize is he’s playing for keeps.

This was an interesting take on Krampus and was a solid smexy and dirty read. There’s a happily ever after once you get through all the dirty scenes. Even though it is book three in the Valley of the Old Gods series you don’t need to read the Easter Bunny story to read this one.

Book 3 Valley of the Old Gods

Amazon 

Entranced by the Basilisks by Lillian Lark

3 Stars

Working in a museum there shouldn’t be any issue with looking at a book but it ends with Emilia being cursed. The only people who can help her are Ark and Jasper. Will they be able to lift the curse or will she have to learn to live with her new reality?     

The general idea for this book was good. Plus, it’s set in a museum and someone opens a book when they shouldn’t which makes me think of the movie the Mummy. My issue with this one is it was bogged down by all the interplay between Emilia, Ark, and Jasper. There is too much going on between them and then other forces outside their relationship which slowed the plot down for me. It was still an interesting story and Lillian Lark does an amazing job with world building that I will try another by her.

Sticks and Stone Grace McGinty

4 Stars

Nova Stone is dealing with the death of her parents when she is contacted by social services notifying her that she has an infant half brother that needs to be taken care of. She never thought her dad would cheat but here’s the proof. How is she supposed to handle this. She is the boy’s only relative other than the biological mom’s foster brothers. They want custody but can’t get it with her available to take him in, so they offer to move her to Ann Arbor and help take care of them both. Is this a good decision…only time will tell.

I loved this story. It is very well written why choose hockey romance. Three of my favorite tropes. I love how McGinty builds the world and the relationship between each of the characters. It flowed nicely and the ups and downs they had as they learned to live with their new normal. Definitely worth picking up and reading.

Book 1 Penalty Box Players

Banging the Easter Bunny by Dalia Davies

She made her bargain and assumed she would be done but she just couldn’t walk away from her easter bunny. She will give almost anything to keep him as her own. The Gods won’t make it easy but if she does everything right she will get the best reward.

Where book one was quick and dirty this one has an actual plot and character development. It is still very dirty, but you get character growth and change. It was a bit jarring after the first one to read this one as I was expecting more quick and dirty and this had way more in it. I liked the growth in the characters and the world. Even though it was longer I still enjoyed the read.

Dance of the Forest King by Alessa Thorn

3 Stars

King Oberon, Taranis, and Mananan were separated from their kin for many years and are now on earth with their nephews. They are here to stop the worlds from being destroyed. If they don’t stop it there will be no more magic. Oberon figures he will have to sacrifice himself to save those he loves until he meets his fated mate. Chrissy is not someone he was expecting and he doesn’t know why she’s always mad at him but he will do anything to keep her safe.

It was an ok read. It felt rushed for most of the book. The romance was nice but also rushed. This is book one in a new series, but it is a spin-off of another one and you do need to read that one to understand this one. They are referenced and it’s been a while since I read the original series and it led to some confusion. Overall, this book left me wanting more. It was ok and there are two more books that I will probably get to eventually.

Fate wouldn’t tie me to these men, would it?

Sent to the ruthless academy for magicals after years hiding from the authorities, I'm behind, poor and, with my pet pig in tow, struggling to fit in.

No surprises I'm picked out for ridicule by the other students - as well as the teachers.

And four men in particular seem determined to make my life here hell.

The man who caught me.

My grumpy, sharp-tongued professor.

The star of the school's dueling team.

And the academy's deadly heart-breaker.

They all find their own special way of torturing me, but I'm determined not to bow.

I hate them.

And yet, when I'm with them, I feel like a fish on a hook, tugged in their direction, my insides swirling with a lot more than simply hate.

Is this magic or something far more dangerous?

Knotty Deal by Leann Ryan

3 Stars

My brother screwed up and now owes a debt we can’t afford to pay. The only option is to sell virginity to get the money to pay the debt before they kill my brother. Can I live with my decision?

This is a rewrite and I hadn’t read the original. It was a short and dirty book. Virgin offers herself up to payoff her brother’s debt to the mafia. Ends on a cliffhanger and that frustrated me. I did enjoy it until that point. If you are looking for a quick and dirty story this is a good option.

Rejected by Dragons by Dizzy Hooper

4 Stars

Abandoned in the air kingdom by her parents, Ember is just surviving. Bullied by all, secret lover to crowned prince Storm, she thinks life can’t get any worse. That is until the secret relationship is revealed, and he rejects her. Thrown from the only home, she knows she is on the run to find a haven to live. Will she find what she’s looking for or will things get more complicated for her?

I loved this story so far and can’t wait for the next book. It does end on a cliffhanger, but it looks like the next book is due out next month. Fingers crossed it does come out then. I loved Ember. She took the hits coming towards her and kept going. The way Storm handled everything made me so mad and he better make it up to her in the next book. The ending was what made me maddest. Ember was just starting to figure things out and found two more mates. Then it just ended. So mad. Must find out how this plays out right now and not later. If you like dragons, rejected mates, enemies to lovers, with bits of steam you should check this out.

Deadly Risk by Jane Blythe

Mackenzie Arden has been tortured by her brother her entire life. She figures she will never be out from under him until she’s rescued by Luca “Bear” Jackson. He wants to take her half-brother down and is willing to protect Mackenzie to get what he wants. When feelings come into play will Bear be able to keep Mackenzie safe?

WTF did I just read. From the time they meet to in love is like 4 days. They were also TSTL. She’s kidnapped from her home so after being rescued she goes home without bodyguards. Even after another kidnapping attempt they stay in the house. Once the house is blown up geniuses decide to go to Bear’s home. Not only does this put others at risk but it’s not like Mackenzie half-brother doesn’t know who’s with her so doesn’t take a genius to figure out where they would go. When this house also explodes, they go to the next town over to stay at a hotel. Where Mackenzie is kidnapped from. It just overall rubbed me the wrong way and I don’t care about the other books.

Made for me by Natasha Madison

3 Stars

Julia works as a social worker, and she is too invested in her charges. When one of them dies in a horrific accident leaving her daughter without a mother, she steps in to take care of the little girl. What she doesn’t expect is to be suspended pending charges from the maternal grandparents. To help her Chase steps up and wants to help her in all ways. He’s tired of being just the friend and he will use all his connection to help her get out of trouble.

I had issues with this one. The Julia was a social worker and one of her charges dies in a car accident. The girl’s family sues her for emotional trauma which just meant they wanted money. Ok I can understand that cause there are people who would do this. What I don’t understand is why the DA then filed charges. Nothing written showed her being negligent in her job but for some reason the DA charged her. Charges not explained so I can’t say if they were justifiable but what angers me is the girl had a toddler. They found her bio dad who just happens to be a family friend. Once he got custody the grandparents’ case was canceled which leads to the DA dropping all charges. This is not how our criminal justice system works. Just because there is no civil case doesn’t mean no criminal case. The romance was fine, it was everything else that irritated me. It’s probably closer to 2.5 stars than 3 stars but I will stick with the 3. I may pick up another book by this author later when I’ve had a break from how angry I am over this book.

Book 1 Made For

Wingspan by Cambria Hebert

3 Stars

Madison is just trying to get past the trauma that is her past. She carefully selects everything around her to keep herself safe, but things slip through. She’s made friends and is enjoying her college life, but she’s still scared. Jamie is there to keep her safe even if she thinks she’s fine without him. He will be there to shield her from all the ill but will he be there when she needs him the most?

I didn’t like this as much as I liked the first book. It was still good, but the book was a little slower plot. There was also a lot of repetitiveness about the events of book 1 which is probably why it felt slow. Once they started explaining some of Madison’s past the book started picking up and was a lot more interesting. The twist at the end was also really good. Still like the author enough to check out the next book.

Pick Six by Maggie Monroe

3 Stars

Six is starting over after she divorced her cheating ex. Hired to blog about the New York Mavericks’ Football Team. She is ready to get her life back on track. What she wasn’t expecting was Sean, a playboy wide receiver. He makes the mistake of going at her on her first day. With all the sparks flying will they find their HEA?

This was a solid read. Do I want to own it nope, but I enjoyed the read. I liked the mashup of fake romance, enemies to lovers, and second chance romance this book brought to me. Not to mention the sports aspect which I love reading. Overall, I liked the characters and how the story progressed. Loved that Six ex gets what’s coming to him and that Six and Sean get their HEA.

Raised to be her father’s weapon, Willow will do anything she can to protect her younger brother. Forced to go to school to learn magic with other promising students, Willow will learn things she’s not sure she wants to know. Will she survive?

I really gotta stop taking book recommendations from Instagram. This should have been an amazing book, but it just fell flat for me. It had an interesting plot but was never fleshed out into a good book. There is no backstory for any of the characters or world building. The book is starting to get interesting when it ends on a cliffhanger. I didn’t learn anything about anyone which makes it hard to invest in more books with these characters. I’m skipping.
