Hidden Miles by Claire Kingsley

4 Stars

Leo is not ready for the wide world, but he loves talking with Hannah in his games. He never thought he would see her in real life until she showed up at his family’s business for an event. He’s too scared to introduce himself to her but then she goes dark in the game. Scared for her he tracks her down to find her in the hospital. He overcomes his fears to come to his rescue but will he be able to keep his fears gone when life interferes?

This was a good book to read if you like characters who are struggling with mental health issues and stalkers. Leo was someone who you are just rooting for to win and the same goes for Hannah. She has so much strength and compassion. The ending was a bit rushed but I loved seeing the bad guys getting caught and Leo and Hannah getting past their trauma to a happy ending.

Falling for Grace by JL Reed

2 Stars

Grace left the man she loved so he could live his dream of being an actor but nothing in life is easy. Life insists they are not done and draw them back together. Will secrets from their past ruin their future?

The idea for this book was good but the actual implementation was lacking. This book has 3 parts. The first one is an intro to everyone and how they are all linked. Not really pivotal to the overarching story in any way. Part two is showing why Grace and Brandon aren’t together. Throw in cheating and pregnancy and I am starting to really not enjoy this read. Part three should be all about these two coming together for their HEA but it isn’t. Secrets are revealed. Brandon is an asshole and never redeems himself. He was the one who was selfish throughout the entire story but somehow Grace is the one to blame for everything. She apologizes repeatedly for her wrongs. He never does. By the end of the book there is no HEA or even a HFN. This is not a romance without one of those options happening. The book also need a major warnings. The BFF/brother commits suicide and loss of a baby. Neither of these are mentioned anywhere and if you have a trigger for either of these they are just thrown at you. I would just pass on this book.

Red Fang Royal by Lola Rock

4 Stars

Sol has never been allowed to do anything she wants. Forced to use her gifts to help a secret government agency she’s given an out. All she has to do is pretend to be her half sister Serafina and catch her bio dad. The problem the pack that is supposed to mate Serafina is her sent match. She must pretend with Su Jin, Bishop, Dutch, and Reese to pull off the ruse in hopes of escaping everyone and living out the quiet life. When everything goes wrong will they find a way to be together and happy?

This book started so slowly, and I was so disappointed. Then it hit its stride and I blew through it and demanded more books. I loved Sol getting her HEA and getting to see Lilah again. Sol was so strong and just wanted to live her own life. The guys were also awesome and once they learned everything, they were all in and wanted to keep her safe and secure. If you liked Lilah’s story you will like this one as well.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Renegade Akseli Cyborg 
Aldebarian Alliance #5 
by Dianne Duvall 
Release Date: January 23, 2024

Too many years of hunting psychotic vampires night after night have left Rachel with a desperate need for change. So when the opportunity to travel across the galaxy aboard a Lasaran warship to a utopian planet arises, the powerful Immortal Guardian jumps at the chance. Rachel eagerly looks forward to making a fresh start… until an enemy attacks and she ends up alone in an escape pod so far from alliance-occupied space that no one can hear her communications. No one except a renegade cyborg who shouldn’t exist.

After a grueling, hard-fought rebellion, Wonick and his cyborg brethren settled on a distant planet, where they’ve finally carved out a peaceful existence. The Aldebarian Alliance believes every Akseli cyborg died long ago. And battle-weary cyborg leader Wonick is determined to prevent anyone from discovering otherwise, knowing such would spark the fiercest manhunt in the galaxy. Yet when he hears Rachel’s communications, temptation drives him to speak to her, sparking friendship and a longing for a very different future.

Rachel finds Wonick even more appealing when she meets him in person, and the friendship they’ve formed soon deepens into love as the cyborgs—no more immune to her fun-loving, laughter-inducing nature than Wonick—cautiously welcome her into the fold. But the warriors’ unbridled ability to collect intel uncovers a secret the enemy has guarded for decades, one that compels them to embark upon a mission fraught with danger.

If they succeed, they may end the enemy’s attempts to conquer the galaxy once and for all.
If they fail, it could cost Wonick and Rachel everything.

Blazed by Elise Faber

4 Stars

After walking away from Dommie once, Walker doesn’t have it in him to leave her a second time. He is determined to make it work no matter that she thinks it is short term. Can he win her over before the past rears its ugly head and ruin everything?

I loved Dommie and Walker. The back and forth with them made me giggle so many times. The fact that Walker walked away from her previously, he had a lot to make up for in this one and he definitely does. He also had a good reason for walking away but that isn’t the point. Overall, it was a lighthearted romance with a small bit of drama but not a lot. If you’ve liked her other hockey romance books you will like this one.

Tangled Secrets by Yve Vale

3.5 Stars

Wyn has been kidnapped, injured and left in the human realm with a threat against those she cares the most for. Oakes and Jaden find her just in time but break the Human/Fae treaty which draws Eldrin to the human realm to rescue all of them. When secrets are revealed will Wyn want to go home with them or will she want to stay in the human realm?

Solid read and continues the story where we left off with book one. It’s very slow moving with secrets revealed but more introduced. I enjoy the give and take between characters but don’t feel there was a ton of character development/growth in the book, and I wanted to see more growth. I am curious to see how the series ends and there is a ton that needs to happen for it to conclude so it will be interesting.

Between Realms by Yve Vale

3 Stars

Wyn is one of the only humans in the fae realm after the war. She’s an indentured servant who just wants to live her best life. When she receives a summons to the castle for an audience with the royals. On her journey to the castle, she runs into trouble and is rescued by a mysterious fae who is also heading to the castle. He takes it upon himself to be her protector to the castle. Once they arrive, she finds he is an advisor to the prince. The prince wishes to learn about humans and their bodies and asks her to allow him to explore. There isn’t supposed to be any feelings or connections but can they keep out emotions before they get hurt?

This is a very slow burn. Wyn is very Pollyanna esc character and a whole lot of naivety. This is also a world building book and set up for the rest of the series which is fine but made for slow reading for me. It does end on a cliffhanger and that is about when it started getting really good so a bit disappointing, but it did draw me in enough to look forward to the next book.

Broken Heart Syndrome by Susie Tate

 

3 Stars

Frankie has crushed on Thomas G Longley for years until he publicly humiliates her. She moves on but goes into her shell and just focuses on work. She was expecting to be working in palliative care but ends up on a rotation for cardiology with Tom as her new boss. The only good thing about the posting is Tom doesn’t seem to remember her at all. She understands the job and does it well but her heart is in palliative care.  The more they work together the more he sees her for the wonderful woman she is. The problem can she forgive and forget his past behavior?

Was not one of my favorite reads of Susie Tate. Thomas was a dick from beginning to end and the Frankie deserved so much better. She had so much going on and he just kept piling on more. When it all played out she forgives him instantly and it frustrated me. I like the other books better but this one was FINE.

Tantalizing Kinds by Alisha Williams

2 Stars

Sadie has just had her heart broken by her ex-boyfriend and she wants revenge. She turns to Declan, Preston and Grayson and asks them to give her lessons through their club. They are willing but there are rules she will have to follow. They tempt her to want more along with school guidance counselor Colin but there are outside forces that are determined to keep them apart. Can they overcome the challenges?

I wanted to love this book as the tropes in the book are ones I adore but this book just frustrated me. Some of the guys were just dicks to FMC and she had no respect for herself and took what they handed her without any push back. It ends on a cliff which ticked me off. Plus the author spent more time telling me what was happening vs showing it happen. It made for a very long read. I am interested in the plot enough to check out book 2 but no guarantees on anything beyond that.

Curse of Shadow and Thorn by LJ Andrews

2 Stars

Elise has been raised with certain expectations being the King’s niece but she wants to forge her own path. However, he holds the life of her ailing father over her to make her do what he wants. These leads her to Legion Grey who is supposedly there to negotiate a dowry but the more time they spend together the more time they want to stay together. Legion has secrets that may tear them apart. Will they find way or will the secrets tear them apart?

This was an Instagram find and the ad looks so good I figured it would be worth reading. It was a meh read. The worst was the ending where there is no HEA but ended on a cliff. The MMC is a dick throughout the book and then abandons the FMC after the pivotal scene that is the entire reason I read the stupid book. He just walks away to do what he feels needs to be done vs working out the best approach with her. It’s a good idea but needs so much work and it’s not worth it to me to continue the series.

Destiny of Ashes by Tessa Hale

3 Stars

Kidnapped and attacked just trying to learn her magic and her mates before the next assault. Will they be able to keep everyone safe and take out all their enemies?

Where the first two were really good this one fell a little flat. Instead of flowing through a story it felt like there were boxes that needed to be ticked off to complete the story. In addition, it was more explaining what was happening vs living the scenes. Here’s a scene to explain x y and z to conclude the story. Overall, a bit of a disappointment for the conclusion of the story.

Knot Guaranteed by Jillian West

4 Stars

Tinley has never gone into heat and she’s worried that it’s been too long with her age. She decides she’s done waiting and takes his friend Colin up on his offer to film him on tour. She holds a torch for him, but he’s only ever wanted to be friends. Until they are stuck on a tour bus together with band mates, Warrick and Ramsey. They are all dealing with changes, but can they find a way to come together for a happily ever after?

Tinley is a sweetheart who is just trying to find her place since she hasn’t gone into heat yet. The guys Warrick, Ramsey and Colin are so sweet with her and just want her to be happy and succeed in her pursuits. They each have things they are working through but are there to support each other. I loved that Colin and Tinley held a torch for each other but didn’t want to act on it until Warrick and Ramsey came along. The four of them work well together. It was a low stake, low drama but a very good read.

Beg Borrow or Steal by Susie Tate

4 Stars

Libby is willing to do almost anything to reach her goals and take care of her daughter. She doesn’t have time for judgmental doctors who have never had to struggle with life.  Jamie has worked hard to become the education director and doesn’t understand how some people can not take things seriously and show up on time until a 4-year kicks him in his shins for being mean to her mom. Finding out how hard Libby works makes him want to protect her but can he leave his judgment behind?

Tate’s books are always heart-retching books, and this was no different from her other books. FMC is working he butt off to make a better life for her kid and MMC is a major dick. He does get better, but it takes way too long, and he ends up hurting FMC and her daughter before he gets it together. If you are looking for a book to make you ugly cry this is a good one to read.

Kept by Evelyn Flood

4 Stars

Kept in a cage her entire life, Zella never knew anything else until she was broken out and held by Maverick, Ryder, and Enzo. They are dark and dangerous men who don’t feel they are good enough for Zella. They have blood on their hands and have dark tastes and she’s innocent. The more time they spend together the more she wants them even with all their dark edges. Will they be able to keep her safe from the man who kept her or will he get her back?

Modern day retelling of Rapunzel with a why choose twist. It was a dark retelling which makes sense when you consider the original fairy tale. Zel is very Pollyanna esq character while the guys are as dark as a character can be. All of them have issues they are working on. I loved that the guys weren’t sure what to do with Zel and when they realized they all wanted her didn’t think they deserved her. It just worked for me, but I have a love of a well written retelling of a fairytale.

Don’t be scared by AJ Merlin

3 Stars

Bailey has always celebrated Halloween with the rest of the town but this year it’s different. There are people being murdered she has a close connection with. They are the ones responsible for the death of her best friend and no one ever was punished for it. Now someone is making them all pay but will they hold her responsible too?

This was an interesting trouple. I love the idea of the book and mostly how it played out. There were issues with the plot and so many questions still unanswered. One of the big ones is Bailey’s parents didn’t question anything or keep her close when people are dying. Like ok. Also MMC parents are mentioned but not used even though it was their daughter that died and someone is getting revenge for. Also how did the guys meet and end up together. Lots of questions so it was ok. If you like a darker story based on revenge with some interesting smexy times give it a shot.

Prince Charlie must select a bride, or his father will. To help him a ball is given where he meets the woman of his dreams, Elle. The problem she’s not exactly who the King would be happy with his son bring homing. Since he can’t be with her in the open, he will meet her in secret until he comes up with a plan to keep her forever. However, the king has his own plans and forces Charlie’s hand into marrying someone else. Will he find a way to be with her?

How was she not furious with him that he abandoned her when she was pregnant to marry someone else?!?!?!? Then he finally is able to come back, and he proposes right before she is due, and all is forgiven. She spent months alone and she doesn’t even hesitate to take him back. I was so disappointed. It wasn’t bad until this point in the book. It had a good pace with a lot of smexy time. I wanted more world building and more info on the prince’s family and FMC history. Overall, it was ok but needed work.

Daughter of Persephone by Helen Scott

2.5 Stars

Poppy is just trying to live her life, barely making ends meet but doing the best she can. A strange necklace shows up and her life changes. She’s mated to some hell hounds and needs to track down the rest of her fated mates if she chooses to continue down the path to become a goddess.

I wanted to like this more than I did. It felt like the beginning of a story and not a complete in anyway book. I looked at the rest and there are 3 more books and $3 each so total would be $9 for a complete story. That’s not horrible but also with how much the first book was lacking I am not interested in investing in another book. It also doesn’t help that the description of the books are almost identical which leads me to believe the plot doesn’t move fast. If someone else wants to give it a shot and let me know if they are worth it.

Knotty New Year by Merri Bright

4 Stars

Candy just wants to live her life to the best, but her designation means other people get to tell her what to do and when to do it. When she and her friends start a business to be betasitters she feels like she’s finally taking her life into her own hands. Her first job is for a billionaire who happens to be her fated mate and they end up snowed in. He’s grumpy and wants nothing to do with her until her heat hits. When it’s done Nicholas walks away thinking he’s giving her the choices she wants but instead hurts her. When he finally realizes his error can he fix things with her without more problems?

Spicy Snowed in, age, gap, omegaverse book that’s worth reading. Nicholas is an ass through most of the book but he pulls out a super sweet move to win her over just to royally fuck it all up. He sort of makes up for the later mess but not really for the issues he caused. I loved Candy and all her friends. I also loved Nicholas’ siblings. The siblings are all so welcoming to her and want to take care of her all while bashing their brother. I kind of want more books with all of them. Can’t wait for the next book.
