Knotty Deal by Leann Ryan
3 Stars
My brother screwed up and now owes a debt we can’t
afford to pay. The only option is to sell virginity to get the money to pay the
debt before they kill my brother. Can I live with my decision?
This is a rewrite and I hadn’t read the original. It
was a short and dirty book. Virgin offers herself up to payoff her brother’s
debt to the mafia. Ends on a cliffhanger and that frustrated me. I did enjoy it
until that point. If you are looking for a quick and dirty story this is a good
option.

Rejected by Dragons by Dizzy Hooper
4 Stars
Abandoned in the air kingdom by her parents, Ember
is just surviving. Bullied by all, secret lover to crowned prince Storm, she
thinks life can’t get any worse. That is until the secret relationship is revealed,
and he rejects her. Thrown from the only home, she knows she is on the run to
find a haven to live. Will she find what she’s looking for or will things get
more complicated for her?
I loved this story so far and can’t wait for the next
book. It does end on a cliffhanger, but it looks like the next book is due out next
month. Fingers crossed it does come out then. I loved Ember. She took the hits
coming towards her and kept going. The way Storm handled everything made me so
mad and he better make it up to her in the next book. The ending was what made
me maddest. Ember was just starting to figure things out and found two more
mates. Then it just ended. So mad. Must find out how this plays out right now
and not later. If you like dragons, rejected mates, enemies to lovers, with
bits of steam you should check this out.

Deadly Risk by Jane Blythe
1 Stars
Mackenzie Arden has been tortured by her brother her
entire life. She figures she will never be out from under him until she’s
rescued by Luca “Bear” Jackson. He wants to take her half-brother down and is
willing to protect Mackenzie to get what he wants. When feelings come into play
will Bear be able to keep Mackenzie safe?
WTF did I just read. From the time they meet to in
love is like 4 days. They were also TSTL. She’s kidnapped from her home so
after being rescued she goes home without bodyguards. Even after another
kidnapping attempt they stay in the house. Once the house is blown up geniuses decide
to go to Bear’s home. Not only does this put others at risk but it’s not like Mackenzie
half-brother doesn’t know who’s with her so doesn’t take a genius to figure out
where they would go. When this house also explodes, they go to the next town
over to stay at a hotel. Where Mackenzie is kidnapped from. It just overall
rubbed me the wrong way and I don’t care about the other books.

Found by her Monsters by Avery Song
1 Stars
Nerissa has always seen monsters. She’s lost
everyone and everything that is important to her but her monsters. She will
need to embrace them to survive what’s coming for her.
DNF. I was so confused by this book that I gave up.
The first chapter your dropped into the story and it doesn’t make any sense.
Then it just gets worse so I gave up.
Book 1 Her Dark Obsessions

Made for me by Natasha Madison
3 Stars
Julia works as a social worker, and she is too invested
in her charges. When one of them dies in a horrific accident leaving her daughter
without a mother, she steps in to take care of the little girl. What she doesn’t
expect is to be suspended pending charges from the maternal grandparents. To
help her Chase steps up and wants to help her in all ways. He’s tired of being
just the friend and he will use all his connection to help her get out of
trouble.
I had issues with this one. The Julia was a social
worker and one of her charges dies in a car accident. The girl’s family sues
her for emotional trauma which just meant they wanted money. Ok I can
understand that cause there are people who would do this. What I don’t
understand is why the DA then filed charges. Nothing written showed her being
negligent in her job but for some reason the DA charged her. Charges not
explained so I can’t say if they were justifiable but what angers me is the
girl had a toddler. They found her bio dad who just happens to be a family
friend. Once he got custody the grandparents’ case was canceled which leads to
the DA dropping all charges. This is not how our criminal justice system works.
Just because there is no civil case doesn’t mean no criminal case. The romance
was fine, it was everything else that irritated me. It’s probably closer to 2.5
stars than 3 stars but I will stick with the 3. I may pick up another book by
this author later when I’ve had a break from how angry I am over this book.
