Beast by Anna Hackett

 









5 Star

Vek’Ker was rescued and is now trying to get rid of all the drugs that were pumped through him.  Mia helps calm his rage from the drugs.  When the slavers keep going after Mia the only way to keep her safe and save the other humans is to go after the slavers. 

I loved this book.  You felt bad for Vek’Ker because he had been given a crap hand and kept getting more shoved at him.  I loved how much Mia didn’t care about any of it, she just wanted him to be happy and secure.  The flow of the book was good.  There weren’t any slow points in the book.  The only big ish issue I had was I really wanted them to find all the humans already.  It was a good addition to the overall series.

Barbarian by Anna Hackett









3.5 Star

Nero Krahn is brooding warrior that House of Galen uses as their hunter and tracker.  When they rescue Winter they are still missing two other women from earth.  Nero just wants to keep Winter safe and secure within the House of Galen Compound.  However, she refuses to not be involved in looking for the women even though she is blind. 

This book was more about finding the other women and not the romance between Nero and Winter.  I also got a little tired of Nero telling Winter what she could and couldn’t do.  I get that he was trying to protect her but if he had worked with her some of the issues would have never been a problem.  The book was also a little to close in storyline as the last book.  Overall, it was an ok book and I am hopeful the next book will be better.

4 Star

Space Marine Blaine Strong has been rescued from the alien slavers but is on a mission to rescue the women the slavers still have.  He’s adjusting to his new life on Cathargo and trying to get back to the man he was before the slavers and the drugs they pumped him full.  Saff Essikani has been trained from a young age to fight using her abilities to anticipate what moves are coming her way.  She will need to help Blaine through all of the changes and try to rescue the women still held captive.

I enjoyed the story with these two.  All of the other books have been the female as the human and this one is the reverse.  It was interesting to see how much all of the humans were in the same boat but with some slight changes.  Saff was incredibly strong on her own and when she and Blaine got together, she was even stronger.  Relationship wise this one wasn’t as strong in the storyline as in the other four books.  The focus of this book was more on the slavers and rescuing the other women.  Overall, a good addition to the series.

Promo: H Hunting

"Helena Hunting takes your breath and your heart with equal force in this incredible, important novel. This book is a hug and a lesson, as well as a hell of a ride" -- Debra Anastasia, author

From New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting writing as H. Hunting, comes a beautifully written and emotional new adult romance, Little Lies, November 16th and we have the first peek inside this unforgettable romance.

Sneak Peek

Lavender finally looks my way. “You can go back to your bunnies, Kodiak. I don’t need a bodyguard or a babysitter.”
Clarke laughs and smirks at me. “You heard her. We’re good.” He slings his arm over her shoulder and pulls her into his side. I’m pretty sure her ass cheek is pressed up against his leg, and his fingers dangle perilously close to her boob.
My control slips. The frustration over not being able to have what I want is wearing me down. Everyone has an opinion on what’s good for me—how I have to manage all the impulses, how I can’t let the obsessions rule me the way they often do. But this is more than I can take. It’s been weeks and weeks of fighting the need of being an asshole because the alternative is to dive right back into that fixation—and if I do, I’m very worried it’s going to consume me. And her.

Synopsis

I don’t want you.
You mean nothing to me.
I never loved you.
I turned my words into swords.
And I cut her down.
Shoved the blade in and watched her fall.
I said I’d never hurt her, and I did.
Years later, I’m faced with all the little lies, the untruths, the false realities, the damage I inflicted, when all I wanted was to indulge my obsession.
Lavender Waters is the princess in the tower. Even her name is the thing fairy tales are made of.
I used to be the one who saved her.
Over and over again.
But I don’t want to save her anymore.
I just want to pretend the lies are still the truth.

Shopping for the CEO’s Baby by Julia Kent

 









4 Star

Andrew and Amanda are about to be parents to not one but two babies.  This means that he is beating his brother in the kid department.  Declan only has one and Andrew is getting two.  Life is changing.  Concessions will need to be made because there will be two babies that need Andrew.  Amanda need Andrew to give her the comfort and attention since pregnancy is hard.  How will the workaholic deal with the life changes heading his way?

I was surprised by this book.  I love the books with Declan and Shannon but tend to not enjoy Andrew and Amanda as much.  Usually these two irritate me so much that it just isn’t enjoyable, and I don’t reread them.  This book was a complete surprise and I actually really enjoyed it.  There was a lot of growth with Andrew and his family which was awesome to see him finally growing.  One of my issues was the competition between the brothers and by the last book I was done with it.  Grow up already was something I said and in this book he did.  There were still moments where there was some competing, but it was more good natured and frustrated me way less.  I really liked seeing all of it progress and the relationships grow and change to include kids.  This was a good addition to the series.

A Bad Day for Sunshine by Darynda Jones

 









2.5 Star

Sheriff Sunshine Vicram didn’t run for office but here she is elected as sheriff of her hometown.  Moving her daughter Auri home with her parents she doesn’t expect anything special for her first day.  Instead of an easy day there is a delivery of muffins that prophesies trouble to come.  A girl has gone missing and she will need to find her before it’s too late.  Secrets will come out.

This book was so incredibly slow.  I had the hardest time getting into it and I gave it way more chance than I normally would have because her other books are so amazing.  I tried listening to the audio but found myself confused by the POV.  The book switches between Sun and Auri and at times I couldn’t figure out whether we were with Sun or Auri.  Even reading the book there were times I had to reread sections to figure out who was talking.  There was no suspense for the main plot point of the missing teen.  Everyone seemed to be walking around with no clue what was going on and it never really got better.  Who took the girl was just kind of revealed and who it was should have been a suspect at the beginning when the parents were interviewed.  I also had issues with the subplot of who Auri’s father was.  When all was said and done, they didn’t really wrap anything up in the story.  All of it is left dangling for the next book.  There are enough hints that you can guess some of the answers, but it just was so freaking frustrating.
