Wolf-Mate Trials by Ginna Moran

 








2 Star

The wolf mate trials continue with the men competing for Lyric. War is brewing with the Shifters and witches. Lyric’s trying to find those who will help her make changes but are those she considers allies truly allies?

This author puts steamy moments in the wrong spots. There are gaps in the story itself. Overall, don't do what I did and read to find out how it works out.

Queen's Line by Kathryn Moon

 







3 star

Bryony is the Princess of Kimmery. She's always been the odd one in her family as she's never been struck by the hunger. Without the hunger her grandmother isn't sure who will rule the Kingdom. Her grandmother forces her to select her chosen this year. She selects a random man she feels a connection to but refuses to bed them as she won't force them. When she hears to concoct news from the north and her "chosen" to concoct a plan to help those in the north and give Bryony a break. Will Bryony get the hunger?

This was an interesting new series. Bryony was a strong lead. There was good world building and the characters felt developed. It was interesting to see Bryony come into her magic. She does seem to collect men which was amusing since she didn't think she had a need for them. It will be interesting to see where the series goes.

5 Star

Kailey has too much anxiety to deal with people she doesn't already know. She would rather spend her day writing code. When Connor (Smitty) Smith hockey super star starts paying attention to her she very much doesn't know how to deal with him. Smitty wants her so bad. He's seen all of his friends find their forever women and that's what he wants and thinks that Kailey is it for him. Now he just need to work with her to handle her anxiety and win her over. 

I suffer from anxiety and this book is so relatable. Both Kailey and Smitty have mental health issues they are working through and this is handled really well throughout the story and it's very relatable. I loved these two so much and loved seeing Kailey and Smitty get their happy ending. The only thing that left me hanging and I may have missed it was Smitty called Kailey Little Bird throughout and it was never revealed why he does this. The next book was set up that end of this one. If you are smart, I was not, you will avoid this lovely little scene as OMG I need the next book now and not in August.

Love You Right by Julia Kent


 










4 Star

Kell Luview is done with love. He may live in a town all about love but he wants nothing to do with it. When he runs into an old friend Rachel. He wants nothing to do with her after their falling out in DC but after an embarrassing encounter that gets the town talking he can't get away from her. Will he be able to resist her?

I read the prequal and loved them and was waiting for the conclusion and it did not disappoint. It flowed nicely and you got some very weird characters that made the book amusing. Both characters have struggles they have to deal with to find a way to be together. I liked the journey they take to get their HEA. I can't wait for the next book as it is previewed at the end of this one and it seems to be just as good.

She Wolf Games by Ginna Moran








2 Star

Werewolves are almost extinct. To help increase the population they have trials to find the best match for each she-wolf. Lyric never knew she was a wolf until she's triggered. Now she has to compete in these games to fill her pack with men to produce babies. She doesn't want to compete or have babies. With the help of a group of men her dad handpicked they plan to get around the games and make the life they want.

I really don't know how I finished this book. There was no world building or character development. You get tons of Lyrics inner dialogue and it's annoying. It also didn't flow well. The ending was a cliffhanger. Overall, I have no idea why I read the series.

Bad Alpha by Kathryn Moon

 











3 Star

Eve was hired to take out Adam, but they lied to her. They told her he was a beta but he's an omega.

Still determined to take him out but ends up mating him. Knowing she's a bad bet she sets out to help

him find a better pack. When she finds one will she be able to walk away?

Through most of this book I hated Eve. She really takes a hot minute to redeem herself. I loved the pack Eve and Adam end up with. All of them balance each other and by the end I liked Eve. It fit with all of the other's written by her in this series. I need the next one now as this ends cliff hanger esq.

Lyric and the Heartbreaker by Lana Kole

 











1.5 Star

Lyric is an omega refusing to take an alpha. She wants to keep touring and making music. She puts together a new band for her tour. She now has to keep her hands to herself. Will she be able too?

I went in with high hopes and just couldn't like this book. I couldn't get into it and ended up skimming and skipping big parts of the story. It was really boring and didn't connect with the first three books at

all. I will be skipping Lana Kole's books.
