Summer Affair by Marina Adair

 

3.5 Stars

The day Jillian caught her husband cheating was the day she gave up on men. She decides to focus only on her son. To help survive she rents out her inherited home to others. When she’s asked to rent to her BFF’s Brother-in-Law she agrees. She was not expecting it to be Clay Easton or for him to see her skinny dipping on his first night. He’s trying to recover from his NFL injury that might prevent him from ever playing again. He was not planning on falling for his new landlord. Will they find a way to get their HEA?

I liked this story a lot, but the ending was very abrupt. I really enjoyed the story and seeing Jillian and Clay come together. I wanted more information on Jillian’s ex as in the description it was talked about but other than that you know she's divorced, and her ex is a dick. This is book 3 but it can be read as a standalone well. Overall, I blew through the book & liked it until the end when it just kind of ends. I wanted more. I am looking to forward to the next one.

Say Your Prayer by Crystal Ash & Kathryn Moon

 

2 Stars

A succubus has taken refuge with one of the few remaining human encampments. She needs to stay away from hell as her former boss wants to use her and abuse her. Will Deyva be able to help the humans stay safe from hell?

There is no world building in this book. Hell is on earth but no exclamation about how or why

or why. I liked Deyva a lot and her men all are due a major comeuppance. Basically, this book is all about sex & not much else. If that’s what you’re looking for the writing was good, but it felt lacking in story.

Witch Unexpected by Debbie Cassidy

 

1 Star

The Tri-Pack has been around forever, bound to the most powerful coven in the world. The coven is meant to keep an evil at bay. At the next Blood moon Cora will be the next witch in charge of the covenant. But only if she can make it that far.

I enjoyed the Deadside Reapers so much and had high hopes for this series, but it fell flat. I found myself skimming this book to try and find something that interested me, and I couldn’t. I was bored throughout this book, and it disappointed me. The MAIN CHARACTER was created/met in the reaper books, and I loved her in that book, but I didn’t feel this story moved anywhere or built on what was created in the other series. I may come back and read this series. See if it gets better in book two but right now, I am just kind of meh with it.

Winner Cake All by Denise Swanson

 

2 Star

Dani is hired to cater an engagement party for Yvette and Franklin. It’s a bit chaotic but is coming together when a storm hits the party. Yvette is found murdered and everyone there is a suspect including her ex, Spencer. Will Dani prove Spencer isn’t the murder?

Yeah, I am done with this series. Some of the dialogue was clunky and didn’t work. I didn’t care for the story or the interplay between the characters. It just all around didn’t work for me.

The Detective by Anna Hackett

 

3 Star

Savannah Cole is on the run from a stalker. She never stays anywhere to long in fear that he will catch up with her. She ends up house sitting next to Detective Hunter Morgan. He is intrigued by her and wants to know who she is. When he figures out, she’s on the run from something he is determined to help her out. Now he just has to convince her he can keep her safe.

I was looking forward to this one and it just didn’t hit the mark for me. Savannah frustrated me and I wasn’t a huge fan of her. There were several times in the book she was too stupid to live, and Hunt deserved a better partner. You don’t need to have read the rest of the series to read this one. The writing was good I really just didn’t like Savannah. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Bad Best Friend by Elise Faber

 

4 Star

Cora us tired of her 6 big brothers protecting her from everything. No matter how many times she’s told them to back off they haven’t taken the hint. Now they want their best friend Rafe to move in with her to see what is wrong with her. She very much doesn’t want this as she wants him. They give her the choice of Rafe or one of her brothers. She chooses to have him move in. Rafe was fine with this but was surprised to find it hard to ignore the attraction. Will he get past his fears of losing his family and go for her so they can get their happily ever after?

I loved Cora and Rafe. They were a super cute couple, and both had issues they had to work through to find their happy ending. Rafe really only has Cora’s family as his family, and he doesn’t want to lose that by being with her. It takes him time to figure out he can have everything. I also liked that Cora also had to work through her own issues. Overall, this one fit really well with the rest of the series. You don’t need to have read the rest of the series to read this one it helps but not necessary. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.
