Beauty by Lexi Blake (Sophie Oak)

 

3 Star

Bronwyn lost everything one fateful day. Her parents killed, her brothers banished, and her home stolen and her on the run. She was near death and has worked her way to stable but it’s all about to come crashing down. Rumors abound that her brothers are coming home to take their throne will they be able to get to her before their uncle finds her and kills her?

I loved the first two books and was looking forward to this one, but it didn’t live up to the hype. I liked Bronwyn, Lach, and Shim but didn’t feel they connected. I also really didn’t like Lach and Shim’s sister. She basically spent the entire book plotting to take the throne and used Bronwyn to get what she wanted. Years of their so-called friendship was just a plan to get what she wants, and it irritated me. It looked like there’s a set up for a future book but as of right now nothing. It would be nice to see more in this world.

Beast by Lexi Blake (Sophie Oak)

 

4 Star

Dante is tired of his life, and he wants a mate. He decides to follow his cousins’ idea and buy one at market. When he gets there, he finds Kaja. No one can tame her, and they are talking about putting her down since they can’t match her with anyone. He takes a liking to her and wins her trust. When he brings her home everyone is leery of the match and thinks Dante has taken her to clean up his image and he will get rid of her later. That may have been the plan but what happens if he falls for her?

We met Dante in the last book, and I really wanted him to find his happy. I loved Kaja for him. She kept him on his toes. She is strong and weird, and I loved them together. I liked the fact that he started out planning on saving her and then letting her go to never wanting to let her go. This book fit well with the first one and continued the overarching story nicely. There is one more to go and I can’t wait to see how the story concludes.

4 Star

Megan has been kidnapped from her home and put up for auction. Beck is desperate to find a mate for him and his brother Cian before it is too late. Megan will do. She wants nothing to do with them until Cian wins her over. Beck will need to find a way to connect with her. When an enemy they weren’t expecting steals, Megan away will she find her way home?

I enjoyed this harem story. Beck is a dick to Megan who has been ripped from her home. Megan and Cian work really well together and were so cute. I also loved that Megan made Beck work for forgiveness and not just all is forgiven. I also loved Beck and Cian would have been doomed without Megan. She kicks ass and saves the day and her men. I loved the world building in this book and the story flowed nicely. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
