A Dirty Business - Review

-

 



This book had our FMC, Jess, dealing with a dilemma that I think most of our dark romance loving girlies would have looked over. She has that darn moral compass going for her. She couldn't reconcile her morality with the profession that her man was doing so of course this led to things being dragged on for awhile while she fought her attraction to him and he to her. It like literally was 80% of the book. They were waffling the whole time with whether they were going to get together despite Jess being a PO and Trace being a criminal. This was kinda annoying for a bit. Though I will say that nothing probably annoyed me more than the randomness of some of the things that happened. It just felt like there was no real thing that the characters had to defeat to get together but rather there were many little things that popped up. Like the betrayal that happens to Jess near the end, her best friend moving out, deciding whether Trace was worth it despite her being a cop, Trace and his uncle, Trace taking over the family business and the people moving into the territory etc, like I could go on. It was weird seeing all these little things that kept being an issue. It kinda left you on a roller coaster that I wanted to get off of after awhile. Then the ending. The ending was honestly probably the best thing. I mean I hate a cliff hangar but I was left with my mouth open after reading the Epilogue. I was shocked that it ended that way. There felt like there was no resolution to that. I mean you can't just drop a bomb like that and then have the characters not react to what happened. It seemed like a big something since it was something that seemed very important for most of the book. I'm not sure if this is going to tie into things later in one of the other books but that was seriously a wild ending.

As for the spice. It was honestly meh. The characters spent most of the book trying to not be together. Definite 2 out of 5. I could have almost done without it even though it was kind of frustrating waiting for it to happen. The waffling of the characters just made me not interested by the time it did happen. Overall I give this book a 3. It was ok. I probably would say to read it as a filler book if you just need something to read. It's really just for the ending. That ending was crazy.

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...
