Falling for Autumn by Jarica James and Chloe Gunter

 

4 Star

Autumn thought she would have more time with her grandpa but that isn't the case. She now has to decide what to do with the apple orchard. Does she move home and take care of the orchard or take one of her job offers in the city? To complicate things she's falling for her neighbors. Does she want to walk away from Boone, Hunter, and Jack for the job in the city or stay on the orchard?

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was a light sweet book. No high stakes whatsoever or any kind of drama just an omegaverse romance. I liked Autumn, Boone, Hunter, and Jack. They each have their own personality and they blend well together. I was happy when they found their happy ending. I can't wait for the next one as this one pulled me out of the book slump I was in and I loved the secondary characters as much as I liked the main characters. I want to see how they get their happy ending.

One Way Back to Me by Carrie Ann Ryan

 

3 Star

Eli met and danced one dance with his dream woman Alexis. Then her boyfriend proposed and he figured it wasn't meant to be. Several years later he and his brothers have their hotel up and running and want to offer a bridal option. The family decides on offering the job to Alexis. Eli still wants her but she’s gun shy. When it looks like history is repeating itself with her ex will they get their HEA?

This was an ok book. The brothers with all the same sounding name made it difficult to remember who everyone was and their roles in the book. Alexis frustrated me a lot. She was so hot and cold and ready to throw Eli out at the first issue between them. The issue was also ridiculous. He came upon her being assaulted by her ex-husband and he stepped in to stop it. Ex-husband decks him first and Eli puts him down. Somehow this was an issue for her, and it nearly broke them up. I also didn’t understand the issues with the other family and why they continued to let them on the property. Send them a no trespass order and keep them away. I assume they are going to end up having a sister for one of the guys to end up with, but it just seemed weird and out of place. Overall, it was a meh. The next one comes out this fall, but I am leaning away from reading it.

I loved these two. They were classic opposites attract. Jia is super smart and even though she's not as strong as Tarak she saves herself and him. When you think everyone is safe ish nope.You get drawn into more chaos and it worked for me.

Ignite by Melanie Harlow

 

 

3 Star

Winnie has sworn off men. She's got the worst luck in love and she's trying to get everything else in life set. Then she gets anew neighbor. He just so happens to be a firefighter, single father, and the grumpiest man alive. Dex is just trying to give his girls a happy life after the divorce. His ex micromanages everything with the girls. What he doesn't need is a hot next door neighbor who makes him want more but do they want the same things?

I enjoyed this book for the most part. One of the reasons for just an ok rating was the Dex literally loses his everloving mind repeatedly and yelling at everyone around him including his two kids. It’s verbal abuse an apology doesn’t resolve him of the trauma that he does. If it was a one off, it would have been fine, but it wasn’t. The writing was good, and the world building was interesting so I will check out the other books in the series.

Never Say Never by Harlow James

2 Star

Damian and Charlotte have been rivals for years. After high school graduation they went to different colleges in California. It's been 12 years of not seeing each other and now they keep seeing each other. When Damian tells his boss he has a girlfriend to help get an account he needs to come up with someone. Charlotte’s mother keeps trying to set her up with another guy she decides to create a boyfriend. Since they both need a partner they decide to set aside their rivalry and help each other out. Will they be able to ignore their chemistry?

I hated both of these people. I couldn’t care less about them getting their happy ending. The biggest issue I had was Damian literally feels he is owed the ad campaign for women issues. His boss was perfectly fine giving him the campaign as long as he had a girlfriend. What does that have to do with him understanding what women are looking for. This is how we get pad ads that use blue liquid to show period blood. Charlotte was a push over with her parents until she blew her top and then instead of owning up to what she had to say she hid in her apartment until it blew over. Gah It was just a no for me.

Dark Planet Falling by Anna Carven

 

4 Star

Prince Kalikian Kazharan  is trying to find away to convince all of Earth that the Kordolians don't mean any harm to them and just want a home away from the queen. He accepts an opportunity to be interviewed by reporter Sera Aquinas hoping that interview will clear up some misconceptions. Even though Sera thinks he's one fine looking man her experience is people lie all the time. Will she discover all his truths without falling for him?

I enjoyed learning about the prince's background and why he wanted his mom dead. Sera was a nice strong woman and they worked well together. The one downside was Kordolians seem to have the same personality and since I just read book 1 it was very obvious. I liked it enough to keep reading the series.

Imogen is a hunter. She's used to dealing with death everyday so when they need Arawan the God of Death she doesn't have an issue talking him into helping. The only problem is that he, embodies everything she craves, death, sex, and violence. Will she be able to ignore his draw?

I enjoyed this one a lot. The writing was just as good as all the other books in this World and you get a bit of all the other couples. Both of these characters are very big personality and the compliment each other. I am very interested on where the author is going with this series and can't wait for the next one.
