Feral Sing by Suzanne Wright

 

3 Star

Taryn was born a Layton shifter and her father hates this. He's decided to marry her off to strengthen his pack when She's taken by the phoenix pack. Trey asks her to mate him to help him with an issue with his former pack. He's the lesser of two evils. So she agrees. Will they be able to work together and resolve all of their problems?

I enjoyed this one. I liked Taryn more than Trey. He was to much in his own head to not be a major dick. Once somethings are revealed things between Trey and Taryn Smooth out. It did make the other series easier to understand. Good first book.

Mister McHottie by Pippa Grant

 

2 Star

Ambrosia finally has her dream job when her worst enemy buys the company she works for. Chase thought she was just the girl that got away and doesn’t understand where her anger is coming from. Will they find a way to work together to keep the company running?

I didn’t like either Ambrosia or Chase. Ambrosia gets screwed over in high school and I understand why she hates Chase, but she doesn’t really explain anything to him. In high school Chase also never thought to check on his girl to make sure she was ok. I get that he had shit go down but he just kind of abandons her. He was also best friends with her brothers and that kind of was ignored. I finished the book but don’t plan on continuing the series.

Pasties and Poor Decisions by Molly Harper

 

3 Star

Years ago, Ana thought she left her small island life behind for bigger and better. That is until her husband is caught embezzling money and he ran off with a younger woman leaving her with nothing. She goes home to the island. Her house is in need of repairs the problem the only one who can do the repairs is her ex who could have been more Ned. Where will her new life take her?

I usually love Molly Harper’s books but this one was only ok. It’s a second chance at love short story. I wanted more backstory and world building. And holy shit Ana’s kids are horrible human beings. I really think Molly Harper has a good story here it just needs to be fleshed out and a bit longer. It felt unfinished and I want more.

The Worst Best Man by Lucy Score

 

3 Star

Frankie loves her friends and will do anything for them, even if it makes her struggle to make ends meet. She’s the maid of honor for her BFF and she will make sure everything goes off without a hitch even if the best man is a dick. Aiden made the worst first impression and keeps trying to make it up to Frankie. When the groom is kidnapped before the wedding, they will have to work together to find him and get him to the alter on time. After a night together Frankie disappears on him, and he’s determined to find her and win her over. Will he get what he wants?

Frankie irritated me throughout the book. She’s poor compared to her friends but won’t let them help her even though it is for their wedding and the costs are for the wedding. Aiden is a dick. Yes, you’re a billionaire who has been burned in the past so now everyone is out for his money. He quickly redeems himself, but Frankie doesn’t. She continues to keep him at a distance and then makes a huge deal over something she knows is false, but it gives her an out. She eventually makes up with Aiden but meh. Overall, I wouldn’t read it again.

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.

Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door by Lucy Score

 

3.5 Star

Humiliated and left broke by her divorce Riley is trying to ignore her hallucinations. Until she things she’s seen start coming true. When a hot PI, Nick, shows up on her step asking questions about her neighbor she gets drawn into an investigation. She has a vision of the neighbor dying she tries to prevent it but doesn’t. Now she is being accused of murdering him. With the help of Nick will she be able to clear her name?

This was an interesting cozy mystery. By the end I liked it but the beginning was confusing and I nearly stopped reading it. It seemed like she didn’t believe in her psychic abilities but then later in the book she talks about the family heritage of psychic powers. I liked Riley and Nick together. He had more faith in her abilities then she did. I also loved all the old people Riley lived with. The ending was a nice twist. Overall, the good outweighed the bad and I will check out book two.

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.
