Hell Kissed, Fire Kissed, Soul Kissed by AK Koonce

3 Stars, 2 Stars

Rhys was not expecting her night to end the way it did but she will do anything to get away from the alpha who wanted to make her his whore. She is on a journey to find her family and a way to stay far away from her past. Will she be able to find all her answers and get her HEA?

This was one book that was split into 3 weird parts. It didn’t make sense to split up and book 1 is the only one I enjoyed. It went downhill so quickly from book 1. The descriptions for books 2 and 3 didn’t match with what happened in the book and it was disappointing. I also have so many unanswered questions. If given a chance I would skip this one.

Book 1 – 3 Rejected Realms

Hell Kissed 

Fire Kissed 

Soul Kissed 

Dragons of Shadow and Sea by Dizzy Hooper

3 Stars

With discovering a new mate there are new challenges we need to address. I must keep everyone safe and secure but who is our enemies and how do I find them?

This book actually has a plot and some movement in the story. I liked it way better than I did book 3 and felt I got some more answers but left some more for future books. I don’t know when they will be released but I am invested enough that I want to see how this is going to play out though there were some very heavy hints in this one that indicates where things are going to go. Definitely wait until all books are out to read.

Book 4 Queen of Dragons

Amazon 

Cursed Wolf by Brogan Thomas

4 Stars

Forrest clings to her humanity, trapped in her wolf, and abused by those who should be taking care of her. She is ready to give up on everything when she is able to shift into her human self and brings to light the abuse she’s suffered. When her long forgotten brother finds out about the abuse he whisks her away to another prison. People are out to get her and she’s not sure how to solve all the problems. Will finding her mate help keep her safe or will he fail her like everyone else?

This was a surprisingly good read. It is a very slow burn fade to black story, and I enjoyed it a ton. I loved the FMC and how much she wanted to kick butt. It flowed nicely and it was an interesting book. It was different from other ones I’ve read that are similar. I still want to know what happened to her brother. He was the biggest dick through this entire book, and I want karma to get him so badly. Give this one a chance.

Book part of Creatures of the Underworld

Tainted Bonds by Alisha Williams

3 Stars

Surrounded by mean girls at school and a-holes at home makes life difficult even with two of her fated mates by her side. She’s dealing until she finds out her biggest tormentor is another fated mate. This leads to more pain for Abby to deal with. Will she figure out a way to fix what is broken?

Book picks up where the last ended and continued to build from the past book. Two of the three made it right with Abby. Many things are revealed to Abby and her men, but more mysteries still need to be revealed. Book ends on a cliff and I am refusing to read more until all books are out. But once they are I will definitely be picking them up.

One Last Shot by Julia Connors

2 Stars

She thought he would always be there for her until he abandoned her. Fourteen years later he’s back and saying we’re married, and he needs her help adopting his niece. When she accidentally screws up the childcare, he has set up she opts to stay and help. Will she want to leave when everything is settled?

I get the idea of this and it’s an interesting concept, but it’s poorly implemented. Things are alluded to but never said. The only character I enjoyed was the niece. Beyond the story issues there were errors in the book that needed to be fixed. Including trimming it down a bit. There is a trigger warning about harm to a child and if this is an issue for you skip this one.

🔥No third-act break-up

💕Fake Relationship

🔥Age Gap (8 years)

A brand new modern royal romance that will sweep you off your feet! From bestselling romance author Erin Nicholas writing as Erin Nicolle!

A marriage proposal from a deliciously handsome and wickedly charming prince sounds like a fairytale.

But for a nerdy scientist with severe social anxiety, it’s a horror story.

Prince Torin O’Grady, with his mischievous blue eyes and his cocky grin, is always in the spotlight. And he needs me to inherit the crown.

But we have nothing in common. He’s a future king. And I’m perfectly happy slogging through mud in my work boots.

So why can’t I stop thinking about him?

Maybe because he won’t stop texting me. And sending me gifts. And making me feel like everything I find awkward and weird about myself is special and amazing.

And there’s also that little detail of him offering me my dream job and telling me that together we can change the world.

Well, I could probably 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 for him.

And if I have to marry him 𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺 to get what we both want, then fine. It’s for the greater good.

It has nothing to do with the way he kisses me. Or that dirty mouth. Or the 𝘳𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 he gives me in the bedroom.

Fine. Maybe it does. Still, it’s only a year. Then I can turn in my tiara and come back to my normal, boring, behind-the-scenes life.

But Torin is determined to turn me from reluctantly royal to royally 𝘩𝘪𝘴.
