Never Plan a Billionaire’s Wedding by Julia Kent


3.5 Stars

Kari and her friend decided to open a business to help the super wealthy keep their events going without problems. Nothing will keep them from giving you your perfect day. When she and her partner meet the newest client, she wasn’t expecting it to be her ex-boyfriend. Caleb was surprised and incredibly happy to see his high school sweetheart at the meeting for his brother’s wedding. He feels this is his chance for a forever with the one that got away but will miscommunication keep them apart?

I loved the idea of this book. It was funny at times but the hesitation Kari has throughout the book did get old very quickly. I loved Caleb and wanted her to go after him sooner than she did and can completely understand why he thought they were done done because that’s how she had been acting through the entire book. Hook up with him then ignore him. I am still baffled by why Caleb’s brother married his wife but not my problem. Overall, it was a fine to read and I only really wanted to throw my kindle at the end ish.

4 Stars

Holly assumed she would be working as an accountant until she’s let go. Needing funds to support her mom and sister she takes a job at the local rub and tug massage parlor. While working there she meets Nicholas. He has a lot of stress and thinks it is a massage parlor but is happy with what he gets. After he’s left, he can’t get Holly out of his head, so he picks her up and asks her for a favor. Can she please help him deliver all the presents for Christmas.

This book was super funny, spicy, and everything nice. If you are looking for Christmas erotica with a story, give this one a chance. Would love to see more with these two and more in this world.

Veil of Memory by Alex Lidell (+2 more)





3 Stars

With the magical world bleeding into the human realm. Lera and her men are tasked with going into the realm and fixing the problem. The issue the magic that was supposed to help keep them hidden and safe was damaged and now Coal, Tye, Shade, and River don’t remember who Lera is or even who they are. Will Lera find away to remind them who they all are and how they love her or will they forever think they are human?

The reason I said to stop with the last one is because all the guys forget their lady love and leave her to figure everything out on her own. They think they are human instructors at an academy. If this was one book and done, I don’t think I would have had an issue, but it dragged out through to the very last book. The guys hooked up with her a couple of times but never remembered her until they were triggered in some way. The books dragged because to progress needed all of them to be successful. And because the guys don’t remember her, they end up being abusive towards her and at times it comes really close to crossing a line. Once they remember everything the story finally moves, and it is very interesting. Would love to see what happened after they defeated the bad guy as it is kind of left up in the air. Knowing what I know now I don’t know if I would have read this series because it made me so mad.

Power of Five by Alex Lidell (+ next 4 books)

3 Stars

                                 

Lera was orphaned as a small child and sold into slavery. She spends her days with the horses trying to stay away from her master. When four powerful fae, River, Coal, Tye, and Shade, show up and take her away. They think she’s their fifth and can center them but are unsure how a human could do this as the amount of power should kill her. The journey to get her to the city is rife with problems and killers who want nothing more then to take Lera or the men out. Once they arrive in the city things are not any better. Will they be able to survive everything and save the world?

I’m doing this series differently for review. It’s really two books split up into 7 different books. Books one through four are all about the MMCs and Lera learning and growing with each other. Lera must learn to trust herself and her men which would be easier if the MMCs would stop keeping secrets and being dicks to her. They do finally get there but takes time. I loved that they balanced each other out. I loved the ARC with them. I did have issues with things not being wrapped up. Like with the council. Did anything change in the city or did everything stay the same. I know it’s not in the next set of books as I’ve already read them, so I am a bit ticked about it. Also, if you don’t want to be mad and throw your kindle please just stop with this set as the next set will make you so freaking mad.

Deal Breaker by Melissa McClone



2 Stars

Dashiell likes things to stay the same. He’s happy with his life this way. To help his friend Iris, he hired her as his house keeper and she’s been doing it for years. To a point she feels he no longer sees her. She finds another job and gives her notice. Dashiell doesn’t think she’s serious until the new staff arrives. With her gone he realizes that she was more than a friend and wants to keep her forever but when he reverts back to bad behavior will she forgive him?

This read like someone very young wrote it. The dialogue was very juvenile and immature. There wasn’t any development of anyone. Dashiell doesn’t grow or change and is very selfish. Iris is bad as well. She lets herself be taken advantage of and doesn’t stand up for herself. When she sort of stands up for herself, he disappears for a couple of months. He pops back up and is all contrite. He shows no proof that he’s changed at all, and she just forgives him. No thank you!
