Come Back to Me by Sirena Song



4 Stars

Lizzy has spent years knowing who her fated mates were and knowing she would never be able to be with them. They were her brother’s best friends and they only thought of her as their little sister. Even if occasionally, they have thoughts that are not very brotherly. She is hoping for a fresh start when she goes off to Omega Finishing Academy but knows that’s not going to happen. When she comes back to town after being gone for several years the guys realize their mistake but is it too late for them?

This was a good redemption book. I love that Lizzy doesn’t just take her fated mates back when they discover she hasn’t been lying. They were horrible to her and deserved to grovel. I was and still mad at her brother and her parents. They put everything on her. It was her fault she didn’t fight more for her fated. Like what else was she supposed to do? Her brother actively did things that caused problems, but she needed to make amends. The ending was a little too pat for me, but I still enjoyed the book.

Vampires of Montana by Susan Copperfield

 


2 Stars

Daphne Niell is known as the Vampire of Montana. She is sent in to sniff out the terrorists and protect the royals. She’s sent to Spain for vacation but finds she’s been tricked. Now she needs to track down the terrorists and keep everyone in the airport safe. To help with the ruse of her being a tourist she picks a tall handsome man in the ticket line and promises him a ride home if he helps her. He’s intrigued by her and agrees and gets pulled into saving everyone. When they get out will he be able to walk away?

I wanted to like this book. It was more about Will than it was about Edward and Daphne. You start to get to know Ed and Daphne and then bam the airport explodes, and the book becomes about Will and his family. It’s also all about horses and cats. I love a good cat, but I wanted to see the relationship develop and it didn’t. It’s been several weeks since I read the book and all I remember is Daphne wanted all the horses and cats to go home with her. That’s it. I can’t remember anything else in the book and it didn’t really add anything to the rest of the series either. Why do I keep reading her books?

Catch Me by Sirena Song



3 Stars

Sadie knows what is expected of her. She will marry who her parents want even if it’s not a match she wants but it will help the family. When she finds out she has an aunt she decides to take a break from life’s expectations and see what’s out there. What she finds is the Jackson Pack but they’ve sworn off omegas after being burned by one. Will the pack be able to get out of their own way to keep Sadie and will Sadie pick love over family expectations?

I actually read these out of order. If I had started with this book, I don’t think I would have read book 2. I loved book 2 and this one was just ok. I didn’t connect well with the characters. Sadie was very whiny throughout the book and very waffly. The pack was also the same way. They wanted her but… It got old very fast and continued throughout the book. The writing was good and book 2 is very good redemption book so if you need to read books in order get through it and get to book 2.

Pay-Per-Heart by Grace McGinty

 


4 Stars

Blake moved to LA to follow her dreams only to find out the school she was going to go to never existed. Now she needs a job and a place to live. When she finds an ad requesting graphic design help she's intrigued. Her new friend Hennie thinks it's for adult content but she she shows up anyways. 

Darwin, Everett, and Harrison are looking for someone to make their photos and social media better. They invite Blake to interview thinking she's a man who won't have a problem with them taking their clothes off for work. They're not sure what to do when she shows up and they find out she's a woman. Her work is too good to not hire her but they have to have iron-clad contract so there's no confusion or issues. Will they be able to keep their hands to themselves or will they discover what they've been missing? 

I really enjoyed this one. I loved each of the men she ends up with. They each had their own personality and brought different things to the relationship. As I was reading after she answered the ad for her job, I was wondering what Hennie was thinking since she hadn’t shown up. I was pleasantly surprised when he came back into her life and gave her hell for disappearing. One disappointment was I very much wanted bad things to happen to Blake’s parents and ex. How hard is it to support your loved one with their dream. It all works out well for her but still. Overall, it was a quick and easy read, why choose in modern setting. Definitely pick it up and read.

Out of Options by Jillian West



3 Stars

Not every alpha is a good man. Charlie found this out the hard way when she moved in with an alpha after her daughter’s father died. He abused her and made it impossible for her to do anything. When she is given help and moved to the Omega Exchange in Colorado, she hopes everything is looking up. She just has to stay away from the three owners. They already love her daughter and want to take care of her. Will she let the past go and hold on to her future?

I struggled with some of the subplots in this book. Why was Charlie living with Brent was one of the big ones. How did he even find them? Considering cash was paid and people picked her up had no connection with her at all. How did Gayle find Shannon’s information. Charlie had talked about her with the guys, but it was discussed with Gayle. All of these knocked the book down for me. I liked the writing and overall story, but had quite a few questions left at the end.

Pucking Around by Emily Roth



4 Stars

Rachel Price walked away from a one-night stand 2 months ago. That night blew her away but she’s not ready for Mr. Perfect. That is until she gets a fellowship with the NHLs newest team, Jacksonville Rays. She finds out Mr. Perfect is on the team. She’s trying to stay away from him but then there’s the equipment manager and the goalie. How can she pick between any of these men who all make her feel so much?

I love a good modern none omega why choose books. FMC is a bit wishy washy but she does get better by the end. I love all her guys. They each bring different things to the relationship. There is a short story before this book and this book probably would make more sense if I had read that book. It does need an epilogue to show what happens to the other doctor who was a massive dick. Not needed really but I wanted it. Overall, A good hockey and why choose book.

Unshaken by Dreia Wells

 


3 Stars

I was supposed to be following in my family’s footsteps, but the Angels rejected me. I didn’t get into Caelum academy but instead HellNight academy. This is the best school for the supernatural, but it wasn’t the path I thought I would be on. There is so much going on I don’t know about and it’s changing how I see things. I need to find my Soul tethers and follow a new path and I am not sure that’s what I want to do. Will I find out what my destiny is?

So many secrets in this book. Micah has so much thrown at her and so many people lying to her. The end happens with some secrets revealed but more left unanswered. I’m interested in seeing how the one brother fixes things with the FMC as well as how daddy dearest fixes things.
