Beauty and the Billionaire by Lauren Landish

 












3 Star

Mia works for Goldstone INC as a data analysis and market trends. Her team works alone but still has to answer to Goldstone INC’s CEO Thomas Goldstone. He’s driven, arrogant, and controlling. He’s all business until he meets Mia. When some discrepancies turn up will their relationship survive?

This book was so slow and tedious. I found myself skimming the book to try and find something interesting. I like Mia and her weirdness but hated Thomas. He cared more about his business then Mia and it took him a while to get there. I just don’t see them working out long term as they are too different. This book needed more world building. Overall, MEH save yourself time and avoid.

Choosing Theo by Victoria Aveline

 











3 Star

Jade isn't sure what she's going to do. She's been kidnapped by aliens and dropped on a random island where she's now expected to mate with someone on their island never to head home again. She meets several men and non work for her until she meets the stoic Theo. Theo is scarred per his people's beliefs and he's sure this choosing isn't going to be any different then the last with him being rejected. When he is selected he's sure it is some kind of set up and is determined to discover what Jade is up to. Will they find their happily ever after?

I enjoyed this one. I like space romances and this ticked all the boxes for me. I loved the miscommunications between Jade and Theo. When Theo gets his comeuppance I laughed. He tried to use his dog to get rid of her and is shocked when she loves the dog. Overall, it was a good start to a series and I can't wait to read the rest of them.

Untamed Magic by Alexis Calder

 











3 Star

Raven didn’t know she had magic until she killed two men with fire who were trying to assault her. She’s given the choice to go to the special academy or go to magic prison. She chooses to head to school with hopes to figure out what is going on with her. While at school she attracts the attention of the four most eligible men. They all want to help her for their own reasons. Will she have to pick which man she ends up with?

I enjoyed the story for the most part. I didn’t like the I have to have you oh wait this stuff behind the scenes say no so I am going to withdraw my friendship from you to appease people. All without actually telling her any of this. Looking at you Ben the shapeshifter. Luka was an interesting take on Incubus with his ability to drop into her dreams. I also really liked the twins Matt and Zach. Overall, I enjoyed the story enough to continue with the series to see how it will all play out.

The night she's able to leave her fated mate attacks her and leaves her for dead. She is able to get away and ends up with the rogues.

I enjoyed this book up to the end when it ended on a cliffhanger. I can see why the twist at the end happened, but it did frustrate me. We will see how the next book works out.

–The Nerd Daily

Starry-Eyed Love, an all-new hilarious and heartwarming friends-to-lovers, second chance, forced proximity romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is now available!

Charming, hilarious, and emotional, Starry-Eyed Love is Helena Hunting at her very best!

When it comes to her sisters and their family’s event hotel, London Spark is willing to sacrifice almost everything, including her love for all things creative in exchange for the role of business administrator at the Spark House. So when a multi-million-dollar company asks for a meeting to discuss a potential partnership, London is determined to prove to herself and her sisters that she can win them over. She thinks she has the partnership in the bag until the company’s arrogant CEO hijacks her presentation.

Jackson Holt has lived his adult life avoiding relationships and focusing instead on his company and charity work. But when he met London months ago, he decided to take a chance, only for the timing to be wrong. So imagine his surprise when he walks past a conference room to see London again. Determined not to waste a second chance to get to know her, he inadvertently inserts himself into planning an event at the Spark House. While he may get to spend time with London, he realizes he needs to keep it within professional boundaries. But as soon as their event is over, all bets are off.

After spending months dating, but not really dating, and with their work entanglements over, London and Jackson are finally ready to take the next step in their relationship. But between Jackson’s secretive past and London’s struggle with her sisters, London must question where she really stands—not just with Jackson, but with the Spark House, too.

Deceived by the Gargoyles by Lillian Lark

 








3 Star

Grace comes from a family of magic, and everyone wants to marry her for her connections. All she wants is to find someone who will love her for her and not care about her familial connection. Elliot, Boderick, and Alasdair are looking for someone to round out their family and Grace is that person. The problem she was only planning on one spouse and not sharing. When she finds out the truth will she accept?

I enjoyed this story. It wasn’t the best nor the worst book. I enjoyed the three gargoyles a lot and they each had their own personality that meshed well. I had more problems with Grace. She was a bit whiney and was a bit of a downer. Overall, it was an interesting story and I enjoyed it.

Winter Wolf Games by Ginna Moran

 











1 Star

Lyric and her pack are thriving. When one of their kids’ spells goes awry will they be able to fix it?

What was the point of this book? We get a future glimpse of the pack and that's about it. It doesn't add to the series. It should have been an epilogue on the last book.
