Charming Her Monsters by Yve Vale

3.5 Stars

Jade is now aware of magic and what is going on. She needs a crash course in her magic so she can help her guys but with evil nipping at their heals will they be able to teach her what she needs to know?

This one started right where the last one ended. It was a lot of relationship building book. Jade is getting to know all of the guys and creating bonds with them. Makes for a very spicy read but not a good story mover. I did love seeing Jade coming into her magic, but I wished we had more movement in the story. It ended on a cliff again but worth reading.

Dragons of Fire and Stone by Dizzy Hooper

3 Stars

The peace summit is about to take place when Ember finds two of her fated mates. They are enemy dragons and want nothing to do with each other. Can she find a way to keep the peace and find her happily ever after when outside forces don’t want that to happen?

This starts right where the last ended. I wanted to like it more, but it dragged on. Plus, it’s the same issue of fighting amongst her men over politics with no real movement in the story. The book ends on a cliff again. I know where the plot is going to go and I am still interested in seeing where this is going. But I would wait until they are out to pick them up.

Wyvern’s Redemption by Merri Bright

4 Stars

Wren has been stolen from her mates and taken to honor an agreement. The closest rescuer is her ex she wants nothing to do with, but can he keep her safe long enough for her other mates to arrive?

Finally, the conclusion for Wren. This one started right where the last ended and couldn’t wait to dig into it. Everything wraps up nicely with hints of future books and things to come. Loved how Talen makes things up with FMC. He sacrificed so much for her, and it was worth it. One question I still have for him, but it is a major spoiler but left me wondering if things for him go back to normal. The other guys mess up in this one that pisses off FMC, but they make it up to her. 100% can’t wait for future books.

Lost Cause by Elise Faber

3.5 Stars

Francesca was just supposed to be another case for Lex. The problem is she is able to get under his skin and he wants her to be innocent. Will he fix what he broke when he arrested her or will he lose her forever?

You do need to have read previous books to understand this one. It’s been a hot minute since I had read all of them and was a bit confused. There was a also a pacing issue in this book. Some parts felt a little slow and other parts were rushed. I loved Francesca and Lex and was happy to see their relationship play out. Also loved the teaser for the next book.

Sweetheart Part One by Maria Mackay

3.5 Stars

Vex let down her guard at the wrong time and has been forced into a bond she doesn’t want. Her scent match pack doesn’t want an omega and can’t know she’s there to be used against them. She’s just the beta under contract but the longer she’s there the more she gets under their skin and makes them want more. They’re still massive assholes who don’t see the value in her until it is too late.

I waffled with this one. The first half of the book was so long because of the flashbacks to how she ended up where she was. It slowed the book down which made it seem longer than it was. It didn’t really add anything to the overall plot at all. Once those ended about halfway through the book I enjoyed the writing and the chapter headings got me laughing so hard. I did love how the book ended so much. It did end up on a cliffhanger ending. I saw the end coming and can’t wait for part 2 which should be out in November.

Keep by Anna Hackett

4 Stars

Macy knows life is too short and refuses to be down about anything. She’s sunshine and daisies about everything. Colton Fury is the opposite. He knows how hard life can be and that not everything works out the way you plan. He has too much on his plate to be fantasizing about his assistant but when she starts getting weird calls and someone breaks into her home all bets are off. He will do anything to keep her safe.

I absolutely loved Ember and Colton. They are so opposite that they work together. The story was well written and I loved the struggle between Colton and Ember. Neither of them wanted something permanent and they fought it so hard but fail epically. The one big issue I had was how the bad guy is caught. Ember does something that is too stupid to live. It all works out and I am going to overlook it for the rest of the story being so good. Can’t wait for the next brother.

I’m Your Guy by Sarina Bowen

 

4 Stars

Tommaso is trying to figure out life after being traded to the team in Colorado following his very public fight with his family. One of the first things Tommaso needs to do is buy furniture for his house. This is the worst thing in the world for him to do. He doesn’t know what he needs or wants. While being tortured with terms he doesn’t know he sees a hot guy arguing with the salesclerk about a bill. He finds out Carter is an interior designer, which is perfect. Carter has been screwed over by a previous client and his ex-boyfriend until a chance encounter with star hockey player. Tommaso is a struggle to work with as he doesn’t have an opinion about anything and he’s hot as sin. Will they find what they’re looking for?  

I loved these two. It was fun to see the struggle Tommaso is going through. His life has changed so much because of his uncle and cousin. Then deciding what he wants out of his life. While Carter also has his own struggles that he’s dealing with. They have a chance meeting that starts their journey. They had great chemistry and getting to their HEA was amazing. The biggest issue I had was the uncle and cousin never really got what’s coming to them. If you’ve liked her other hockey books you will love this one.

Fury by Anna Hackett

4 Stars

Ember is on the run from an unknown entity who murdered her parents and framed her. She ends up working for most eligible bachelor Dante Fury. He owns and runs his bar. Tired of being one of the most eligible bachelors in the city he talks Ember into being his pretend girlfriend. He wants to protect her but also keep people away from him. Will he be able to keep her safe and keep his hands off of her?

Absolutely adored this book. We met Dante in a previous book and now we get to see him get his HEA with Ember. These two are so perfect for each other and I loved seeing them struggle with what they want vs what they should do. If you’ve liked Hackett’s other romance books you will enjoy this one. It is one of her best ones and will make you very happy.

Anchor of Secrets by Tessa Hale

4 Stars

After being kidnapped Lee is struggling to find her balance know she probably has magic she just needs to find a way to pull her magic out while navigating the politics of the magical world. Secrets are revealed with each of her mates but will they survive all the upheaval?

CLIFF HANGER ENDING

Many secrets are revealed in this book which was so good because the last book just had more secrets than answers. This built from book 1 and you do have to read it to understand this one. I liked all the twist and turns this book takes. The guys are less dickish in this book but Lee is still a runner. Hale does like to end her books the same way. Once again Lee has been kidnapped. Worth reading but wait for book 3 to be out.

Lennox is ready to end everything. She’s tired of the world she lives in until she meets the new guys at school. They mean something to her but she’s not sure what. When it’s revealed they are magical and so is she. New training begins and it changes her whole life.

This book was so freaking confusing. It was an interesting concept just not well written. There were several times I flipped back pages to see what I missed because we were over doing something else. There’s also no character development or world building so it added to the confusion. It was all slapped together and things changed to suit the current needs of the characters. It’s a pass for me.

Legacy of Shadows by Tessa Hale

 

4 Stars

Leighton has not had an easy life and she just wants to hit 18 and get away from her mother. Before she can she’s rescued by her childhood friend she thought to never see again. What she wasn’t expecting was the knowledge that the world is full of magic and she is his fated mate but never came into her magic so they couldn’t be together. Will they find a way to make it work along with her other fated mates?

WARNING CLIFFHANGER ENDING

I enjoyed this book. There are times Lee Frustrated me. She would get upset with something the guys did and would run. Which would then put her in danger. She had every right to be mad as her mates were dicks. They opted out of a relationship with her so many times. They kept so many secrets that put her in more danger. The guys couldn’t get why she was angry and kept running. So many eye rolls with that. Overall, I enjoyed all the drama and the academy aspect of the book. Interested in seeing out this all plays out.

Knot Their Burden by Melissa Huxley

 

3 Stars

Sage is happy living as a beta and not dealing with alpha/omega stuff. Until she meets an alpha that makes her change into an omega. Now she’s dealing with this new designation and new rules while being hindered by those who are supposed to help her. Can she find a way with her new normal?

Poor Sage is thrown off the deep end in this book. She thinks she’s a beta working and trying to survive only to meet her fated mates and switches to omega. She has to learn all new things and has so much she’s dealing with. The struggle is very much felt as you read the story. I loved her alphas. They were willing to her the independence she needs and support her however she needed. Overall, it was a good story that was well written and I will be picking up book 2 when it comes out.

Double Pucked by Lauren Blakely

3 Stars

Trina finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her and gets the perfect revenge. She takes the VIP tickets to his favorite team and gets to meet his favorite players. The guys have a better plan for sweet revenge and want to spend the night with her. When they find out she’s between housing they ask her to be a temporary roomie with them as well as a fake romance. There is an expiration date on the relationship but will they decide forever is for them?

This was a super sweet why choose hockey book. Trina got the perfect revenge and got her HEA. The struggle the trupple have because they were in a 3-way relationship isn’t the norm in this world and people are being judgy about it. It was nice to see this because a lot of books gloss over any issues they might be having with others. Book flowed nicely and I liked the main characters. Will definitely be picking up more by this author.

Bitter Notes and Sweet Strings by Aly Beck

2 Stars

River West was just trying to get through high school and get out of town. She wasn’t expecting to meet Kieran, Cal, Ash, and Rad. She thought they wanted her, but they just wanted her connections and as soon as they have what they want they’re gone. Years later they need her to keep their musical career. This is their second chance at a happily ever after. Will they take it?

Duet that I am reviewing together as it should have been one freaking book. It makes zero sense to be two books. Both books are too long and drawn out. The guys are assholes throughout and never get better. Assholes who redeem themselves awesome but men who never change suck. River has zero respect for herself or her daughter. The guys never make up for being dicks to her and leaving her behind. River barely makes them work for it. All is forgiven because she lusts after them too much to walk away. Meh. I’ll pass on any future books.

Hello Billionaire by Kelsie Hoss

3 Stars

Farrah was left high and dry by her ex-husband. She needs to be able to support her kids and her BFF hooks her up with a job interview. Things just might be looking up until her kids interrupt the interview with a non-emergency. For some reason, he still gives her the job for some reason. Gage is a driven man and expects his employees to be the same. He’s drawn to Farrah and her kids. Will they break all the rules to be together?

This was an interesting romance. Standard billionaire meets girl and lusts after her, but she works for him. She’s down on her luck and he has his own issues. He just wants to help her and sleep with her but no emotions. It was a fine read. Nothing new or different. I’ve read better and worse billionaire romance books.
