Beautiful Chaos - Review

Image
  I actually, am quite speechless. I had to wait awhile before I wrote this review because I don't know how I managed to pick this one up and devoured it like I did but wow....that's all I have. I will be doing a video spoiler review because that's literally the only way I can think of to do a review without it being like 6 pages long. Most of what happens in this book can't even be talked about without spoiling. Just know that this is one of those books where if you have triggers with some themes in dark romance, then you might now even want to pick this up. This was dark but I liked it. I kinda guessed some things but others caught me by surprise. You have to see this one through if you start reading this. You can't let something like what you THINK is happening stop you from continuing. I definitely am adding this author to the ones I need to read their backlog...but I'll have to space it out because this right HERE? Whew. In other words I definitely recommen...

The Wolf King's Mate - Review

Image
  This was an interesting read! A different take on how the shifter world is set up. There are only male shifters except of course for our FMC, Aspen. I liked the way everything flowed in this book. I did wish that we got more time to see the relationship develop in the story. Things moved rather quickly once they met and they seemed to have a lot of external issues that they had to deal with that had more of the focus than them getting to know each other better. There definitely is some building in this but a little more would have made this a 5 star read for sure. Everything was hitting with this book. I didn't really have any moments where I felt annoyed by anything that the characters were doing and saying. Everything worked with how the world was set up and how the characters seemed to interact with each other. I really enjoyed it. I literally devoured this in one day. The audible was really good and the male narrator was amazing. I almost wanted more chapters from Enzo just t...

It Ruins Me - Review

Image
  I'm not gonna lie to you....this book frustrated me to no end. Scarlet has been a thorn in my side since the end of book 1. Like....I guess this is how people are able to be easily manipulated but this book really just upset me to another level. Firstly, Scarlet was raised in this life by her father and at no point did she think that she shouldn't be there. She always seemed to fight to be the best and want it. So you would think that she would know a little about fighting and the dangers that would come in this world. Not to mention how men tended to barter women around like they are currency. So the fact that she was completely blind for 3 whole books just about, to her fathers machinations was a little wild to me. Like no one said anything to her, she didn't have a mind of her own to come to this conclusion and it was just anger inducing. Then to add fuel to the fire she then, in this book, is like, oh no, I came too close to death, I want out. Likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, y...

Rowe - Review

Image
 There is just something about the primal vibes in books like these that just really hits all the right buttons for me! I really liked this book. Rowe and Kate definitely had some language barriers that they slowly had to overcome but they managed to do it and have a very interesting relationship. It was different to see that the author says that these people are just like us but still a little different. Which we see in their body make up. I liked that there was a culture that was shown and that they weren't just painted as these neanderthal types who were just out there doing the back to nature thing. These were a people who were relatively untouched by the outside world. It wasn't just this group either there was more. I would love to know what has happened with the rest of the friends in Kate's group. Why was the search party not looking for Lisa? Was her body found or did they manage to find her and get her out. It would suck if she was the only one not to make it. I w...

Madness of the Horde King - Review

Image
This was a good read!! This book delves into a lot of trauma so make sure that you check your triggers before reading. This book was a lot darker than the others when you delve into what happened to the characters that make them what and who they are. It was so sad yet you can see how it influenced their everyday decisions. It's always the biggest and scariest of characters that have the softest of hearts. We definitely see that with Davik and I really liked seeing the depth of it because this man experienced a lot. He definitely could have ended up being a villain but luckily had some good influences in his life that made him the best man and leader. We got to meet some of the Vorrakar from previous books which was cool. I almost wished we got to see full interactions with the couples but its mainly the MMCs we see. I liked that we were introduced to powers and things outside of normal Horde life. It adds a new dynamic to this series that I hope gets explored more.  Th...

King of Depravity - Review

Image
 I enjoyed reading this book. Killian and Chloe were one of those couples that just fell into each other. They didn't let any type of doubt really stop them from being together. I really love when I get a chance to read stories like this. Sometimes, I really dislike slow burns because it is mainly the characters fighting their feelings for each other and using anything as a reason for why they can't be together. These two however, do not let anything like that stop them. The issues they face are mainly external or the ones that were internal, were their traumas. I liked that they were both understanding and were able to work around that trauma with each other. I noticed however, that I picked the wrong series to start in this world. I will definitely jump into the story of the Kincaid brothers and then jump back into the Smiths.  The spice in this book was very nice. I liked getting to see these two overcome their issues surrounding intimacy. 4 out of 5 for the spice. Overall,...

The Curse That Binds - Review

Image
  This was a really, really good read. I enjoyed it so much even though I knew what was going to happen when we got to the end. The journey of Memnon and Roxilana was still just as good. The heart break that our characters suffer and the romance that they find is on another level. We get to see where Roxilana came from and how she met Memnon. I didn't think that we would hear about his family but it was indeed just as amazing.  And just as sad when we lost them. We see how Memnon went from being a normal man to what we see when we meet him in the first book. I can't wait to see how this goes in the third and final book in this story. I really can't stand the fae that we had the misfortune of meeting and I hope that she gets her just deserts! This was another great entry in the series by this author and I haven't had a miss from her yet! The spice in this book was really good and very spicy. I would give it a 4 out of 5. Almost a 5 out of 5. I chemistry between these two...
