Make My Heart Race by Grace McGinty



4 Star

Tally Palmer had always wanted to drive fast and kick ass, in that order. She’d earned her place as a NASCAR driver. She followed the rules, paid her dues, and didn’t make any mistakes.

Except one. She fell in love with a boy.

In the blink of an eye, Tally’s dreams went up in smoke. The fallout from that moment reverberated through her life but eventually her name was forgotten and the next ‘big thing’ took her place.

Six months later, Tally was in trouble again, but this time, the consequences would last forever, or at least eighteen years. She needed a nest egg ASAP and she was only good at one thing: driving recklessly fast.

At a late-night illegal street race, her life would once again change. Running into an old crush was unexpected, and the lifeline that he threw her even more so. A lifeline that would once again put her in touching distance of her dreams. Sure, it would be different, and would come with three extremely sexy distractions, but there was hope.

But the past never stays where it belongs, and soon enough it’s more than just her dreams of driving that are under threat.

This is a motorsports romance, including F1 and IndyCar. Our pregnant FMC has more than one love interest and doesn't have to choose in the end.

I loved this story. The Tally is pregnant through most of this book. She is just trying to survive when she finds her men. There is some tragedy but it just reads like a feel good story. Loved FMC for being strong and I loved the MMCs with their different personalities. Definitely worth reading.

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.

Pay-Per-Heart by Grace McGinty

 


4 Stars

Blake moved to LA to follow her dreams only to find out the school she was going to go to never existed. Now she needs a job and a place to live. When she finds an ad requesting graphic design help she's intrigued. Her new friend Hennie thinks it's for adult content but she she shows up anyways. 

Darwin, Everett, and Harrison are looking for someone to make their photos and social media better. They invite Blake to interview thinking she's a man who won't have a problem with them taking their clothes off for work. 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.

Seductively Undead in Dark River (Dark River Days, #4) By Grace McGinty

 








4 Stars

Twenty years Raine has been dealing with being the leader for those with weird supernatural powers. She is DONE! She wants out of this responsibility so she can have time with her family. The council agrees to let her step down BUT only after she finds someone to take her place. This person must be stronger than she is and be able to take her in a fight. The only one anyone can think of is The Night Demon. Since he is in Amsterdam Raine and her men will have to go there and talk him into taking over for her. When they meet him for the first-time things don’t go the way they plan but will it work out?

Book 4 picks up much later in Raine’s timeline. She's been on the council for a while and she's just really tired of dealing with all of them. I found this hilarious because no one who should be on the council should be happy about being on the council.  This book is literally a journey of finding out if she can find someone who's strong enough and better who will sit on the council and take over. Without spoilers she does not get what she wants in the most hilarious way possible. I like how the series ended and it makes me want to go and read the rest of the books that are linked to the series but aren't part of the series. It very much was a good ending to complete the overall arc of rain's life. The only aspect I miss and wish that had been touched upon was what happened with her original family. But that's something that I'm curious about and not necessarily everybody else would be curious about

Pleasantly Undead in Dark River (Dark River Days, #3) By Grace McGinty

 








4 Stars

Raine is trying to settle down and not have so much chaos in her and her guys’ life. She needs to open the Immortal Cupcake shop but she needs to learn how to bake first. It would also help if psychos would stop leaving dead bodies and animals on her doorstep. She’s also dealing with long lost relatives wanting time with them. Can she just get some peace and quiet?

I like the balance of psycho to nice guys in her harem. This balances her out and gives her both the nice and the naughty all in one relationship. I like the growth that each of the guys have made since book one. Raine has also grown and changed since book one, but she still has her issues that she's working through, which is nice because nobody is going to make massive changes in 2.5 seconds. Overall, it was a really good story. Meshed well with books 1 and 2. Still ended on a cliffhanger but not really a cliffhanger. If you don't want to read past book 3, you don't necessarily need to read past book 3. I, of course, still want too, and I will be picking a book four.

Happily Undead in Dark River By Grace McGinty

 








4 Stars

Raine has discovered her maker and killed her to save her lovers. They are not in the clear. Vampire council has questions she and the rest of the town need to answer for.

This book starts where the first one ended. We are starting to see the fallout of the doctor kidnapping humans for blood. I enjoyed seeing Raine with her two non-vampire mates. Even with the two shifters things get crazy and she roles with it. Still enjoyable to see Raine coming into her own. Can’t wait for book 3.

Newly Undead in Dark River (Dark River Days, #1) By Grace McGinty

 







4 Stars

Mika McKellen wakes up dead in a stormwater drain outside a small Canadian town. She finds out she’s been changed into a vampire and will need a new name. She decides to be known as Raine and has to start learning about her new life. The sheriff is trying to figure out who turned her as it goes against everything the town believes in. She’s not sure what she wants out of her new life and she’s missing her old one. Will she find who turned her and will she be able to accept her new life?

I very much enjoyed this story. Mika/Raine was going through a lot throughout this book and life keeps throwing new things to deal with at her. It makes her seem more real. She isn’t perfect and she has doubts and flaws. I loved how real she was about the change and how hard it was for her. She has breakdowns about not seeing her family again but also found joy in her new life. I liked the guys who she’s interested in, Tex, Brody, Judge, Walker, and X. They each have their own personalities and meld well together. It does look like she is going to keep acquiring new guys into her harem starting with X. Even though this ends cliffhanger esq it wasn’t a cliffhanger. If you hate it you find out who killed her but the ending does open up the plot for the next book.

Tryst in the Dark by Grace McGinty

 











5 Star

In this world everyone is controlled. When omegas turn 21, they are auctioned off. All alphas and betas are entered into the Allotment to join the omega to become their mate. It doesn’t matter what the omega had planned for their life the government has decided this is what is happening and that’s it. Tryst O’Sullivan knew her life was over when she presented as an omega. She decided not to fight it and accept it but if her new mates think they are getting a docile mate they are mistaken.

I LOVED this book. I couldn’t put it down. It was an interesting take on omega. I loved that she was willing to accept the partner of her first mate so they wouldn’t be separated by the lottery. I liked most of the guys she ended up with. The biggest issue I had was it ended too soon. They escape the country to the neighboring country and the book just ends. It is listed as book 1 and there is supposed to be more, but they aren’t up for sale yet. Definitely worth reading.
