Obsession (The Mate Games War) - Review

Image
 This book came out swinging. I mean I felt like a hot wheels car that touched the track and immediately took off. The characters in this book are interesting and I definitely like some of them. I really am trying to understand the dynamics with Sunday and the other men. I understand Kingston, even though I don't really like him at the moment. I understand Noah, it was an instant attraction type deal and she felt it too. He is the uncomplicated type of love. Alec, is interesting since he's one that I don't quite see how he fits, other than the calming situation. Caleb, is another that is interesting. The whole priest thing and the scene we got at the end of the book....I don't know how to interpret that. I know what it looks like but what is really going on there. The fact that this is another situation of parents behaving badly, I am just rolling my eyes. Because why the heck are so many of these parents trash? Get it together! Right now, I don't even know which on...

Freeing Luka - Review

Image
  This book wasn't as good as the first one in my opinion. I definitely almost forgot the FMCs name. I did like the relationship that she had with the other women that she was able to free. They are all definitely going to be interesting if some of them are going to be in the rest of this series. I can't wait to explore more of this world. I loved the nerdy relationship these two had with each other. We didn't get to see much more of the planet like I was hoping we would. The threat of allowing the people of the planet find out about humans being as compatible with the men here is amazing. I will say that I didn't even think about how this would affect the women of the planet in such a positive way. Even though this one wasn't better than the first one to me, I still managed to enjoy this one. I can't wait to read the rest of this series! The spice in this book was good. I would give it a 3 out of 5 for the spice. The connection between these two was definitely ...

Nightshade - Review

Image
This book was so different. Like, I loved the subject matter and the way it was handled. The past back and forth of the chapters and the reveals were perfectly placed. I felt bad for characters that didn't even deserve sympathy. Then I also felt anger, curious and happy at certain parts. The lore was thick and definitely made sure you paid attention.  The spice was great in this one. I really enjoyed the scenes with the characters. I almost washed more. It's not super descriptive but it is still well done. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 for spice. Overall, I liked this book. I do plan on continuing the series and I can't wait to see what comes next. I'd recommend this to anyone who don't mind the religious context with dark overtones. 

Sorrow and Strangers - ARC Review

Image
Whew, this was a lot. Everything started out how you would imagine after losing a character near and dear to not only the FMCs heart but your own. We mourn. Reading through Summer's grief was so emotional. I felt for her. Everyone who we've met up til this point who had any type of feeling for Connor was heavily in mourning. You see the different ways that each of them deal with it. Some of it is heartbreaking while others feel cathartic. A lot of our characters are going through changes in this book. Whether it's physical or emotional. Heck I went through almost every emotion in this book with them. The way things are progressing with the over all plot of finding out what Summer is progresses a little bit the focus is heavily on the emotional connections she has to everyone. We get some reveals but even more questions. While the ending for this one isn't as traumatic, it is still a cliffy and we're ask just hanging on waiting for the next round of pain ...

Taken by the Horde King - Review

Image
 This one was a little meh for me. Mina was making me upset with her. Maybe I'm not as nice as she is. When my friend started moving funny then I was gonna have to leave her alone to sit in her mess. The fact that Mina was determined to see her friend as she was before they ended up with the folks they were with under the mountain was a little upsetting considering that her friend was out here with the enemy. I definitely could understand where Rune was coming from in this one. He was tricked into kinda abandoning his people and then chained and semi tortured for awhile. Then it took him some time to actually warm up to each other. Despite the fact that he made her his queen. I was a little surprised by that. All of the relationship issues that these two had was definitely something that made sense. I liked reading them getting around that and getting together truly by the end. Of course there was some fantastical things in between that. Out of all the couples so far that have mani...

Bad Bishop - Review

Image
  I didn't expect this book to be as good as it was. I really enjoyed reading this one! The characters and the banter really made this book! I mean there isn't one character who isn't memorable in this book. Everyone had a personality that managed to shine brightly in this book. It was the perfect balance between too much and just enough. Tiernan is such a great character. The darkness that he holds and the life that he's led, made him a great MMC. Lila is also an amazing character. She had so much to come back from and she did it beautifully! I loved her story and how she was able to find her spine as well as her truth. Their story was so beautiful! Even though the story was dark and Tiernan is definitely a morally gray/black character, he was amazing to watch as he slowly unraveled. The spice in this book was amazing! I mean it took on a whole different meaning with these two. The way that they were able to come together was able to supersede a lot of the usual things...

Blood of Dragons - Review

Image
 This book was heavy. Just as heavy as the first one was in terms of darkness and trauma. We are reunited with Calista as she tries to find somewhere to essentially hide from Talon. But it's finally learning more about Talons backstory that is truly the kick in the gut here. What he went threw was truly terrible and no one should have to endure that. I can understand why he has gone on a rampage but again when you allow such darkness to be your fuel you end up being as dark as the people who made you. He comes face to face with that in this book. Calista still has some demons that she too needs to reconcile with. She does get to finally grieve all of the terrible things that have been done to her. The one thing that I really dislike though, is how weak she is. She definitely has the strong will but not the power to make the ones that wrong her pay. For that I am sorry because it makes me want to shake her. Other than that, I enjoyed this book and the story that is slowly being reve...
