The Moment - ARC Review

-

    




 If you are looking for your next rocker read then this one might just be right up your alley! I try to stay away from them myself but I have started to enjoy them a little bit more so I jumped at the chance to read this one! This is the story of Rex and Aria! Rex is a rock star from a famous band that has almost had his fill of being a rocker. The lack of privacy and constantly having to duck and dodge fans has started to lose it's luster. Aria is a woman who has just been coasting through life and never pursuing her dreams. Until Aria is forced by her best friend and sister to live it up a little. When these two meet, it's almost love at first sight for them both. I really enjoyed the way these two met. I have seen this phenomena online but I have never seen someone write about it in a book! I'll let ya'll stay in suspense about that. You'll have to pick this book up to see how the met BUT just know it's unique and very cool. I also enjoyed how they just went with the flow with things and ended up being each others person. Of course they end up taking a round about way to get there. Some things that I didn't enjoy was how childish Rex could be at times. I don't mean the funny names him and his twin would use for each other either. Just the way that he spoke sometimes gave off teenager vibes as opposed to adult. Also the random POV of the friends. I know this might not be a problem for others but it was a little jarring. It wasn't extremely bad but I was like....ok. We understood enough of their feelings towards Rex in the moment without getting a random chapter of their POV. The other random chapters with the news articles though was interesting and I did like those being added. If some of the fat was trimmed from the book, I think this would be even higher on the list for me. There were times when things dragged and I was tempted to just skip paragraphs because what was happening didn't feel important. After finishing the book, I can say...those moments were indeed not important. Other than that I enjoyed this book. We get a lot of development for the main characters but the side characters are just that...side characters. Though Ian was very interesting and I'd read a book about him!

    The spice in this book is almost immediate. There is definitely not a lack of spicy scenes in this book. Not all of them are OMG worthy but they are nice. I'd give the spice in this book a 3 out of 5. Overall I also gave this book a 3 out of 5. This was a nice opener to a series and my main thing was that we didn't really get enough interaction with most of the side characters for them to really matter to us if this series continues on with them. Though oddly enough, I'd read a MM about Mac. I don't often read purely MM books but he was pretty interesting. So was Ian. I didn't really care for Aria's friends in this book. I understand being upset for your friend but they were also upset with her when it felt unnecessary. I would recommend this book to someone who is looking for a less serious book about rock stars and falling in love with them. As always pick a book up and try it out for yourself to see if you like it!

Binder - ARC Review

Yall, I try not to be long winded when I do my reviews because I don't want to spoil you. Also I try to be a raving looney toon as well but this series is going to probably have the longest reviews I've written. When I say that I am head over heels for these characters, this world, the story. I truly am. Once again we are back in this world meeting so many new faces and some returning! I was so happy to see that Rogan was back! I knew it would throw an interesting wrench between Kara and Flynn and boy did it!! Rogan was just someone who was there briefly in the Prequel Breeder, but he was important to Kara. The fact that he disappeared after what happened in the prequel was investing to me and he always lingered in the back of my mind but never,  did I expect his return to be what it was!! I definitely hope we get a story on him! I just know he has an amazing story to tell!! Cal, is still a wild card for me. There are some people who have lived a long time in this series and Ca...

Daughter of No World's - Review

 This book was probably better than I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed the characters and the world that was built. It was very light on the romance but it definitely managed to shine through when needed. I also would like to add that it did feel like it kind of dragged at certain points in the story and I would have liked if some things were sped up a little. Other than that though things were nice. The story of Max and how he came to be how he was, was tragic. Of course that's the truth of some of the "heroes" of wars. I am interested in seeing how things continue in the next book. Not only with Max, but definitely with Tisannah and the order. I also want to say that I listened to this in it's audiobook form and this was it was um...interesting. You could hear everything with this audio. I mean everything. Every breath that the voice actors took, any noise in their background, page turns and everything. I have been spoiled with these full cast audios and...

Ruthless King - Review

  This was a spicy and fun read! I really enjoyed getting to know the Sokolov brothers! Their story was tragic and crazy but definitely worth the ride that we went on in this book! This book has what you can expect from an omegaverse book, muscle bound alphas with aggression issues, middle of the road betas and the soft spoken and often over looked omegas. The omegas in this world are pretty much subject to whatever the alpha's want. They are believed to just be bed warmers. I do like the idea that the omega's have power that can only be used to it's full potential if the alpha that bonds them actually cares about them. It makes the men have to actually try to care if they want power. Most of the omega's in this world do not have access to their gifts past puberty due to them not forming bonds that are forged with love. Of course this is something that most alpha's ignore and has been lost, for the most part, to the pages of history. Until vengeance brings these two...
