Eidolon - Review

-

This book was all that I remembered it to be and more! Brenshen and Ildiko were faced with something that neither one of them ever thought wouldbe an issue. It tested their relationship in a way that would have either broken them or made them stronger. This is a stpry of perserverence and love. The people of this world had to be willing to put their differences aside if they all wanted to survive. I really enjoyed all of this. Like it just elaborated that much more on the world and the characters. I am so glad that I now know that there is more in this series. This world is definitely one that wraps you up in it and doesn't want to let you go. This book is truly what started my love of alien romances when I first read it. Even though this book is fantasy and not alien, this was the first time that I encountered a love interest that was so visually different than the FMC. Elves and many other fantasy creatures in my books up til this point were still human presenting. Meaning the main difference about them was like their ears or their height. Sometimes their strength, long life or magical abilities. The Kai on the other hand, have visual differences, that would make them almost seem like nightmares to most people in this world. So to have our MCs fall for each other despite the fact that, in their worlds, they would perceive each other to be ugly and otherworldly, was beautiful. I know a lot of people dislike the pregnancy trope but I love it. I think, getting to see Breshen react to Ildiko carrying his child would have been an amazing thing to see. Alas twas not meant to be but watching them get the opportunity to parent his neice will be a great addition.

There was not much spice in this book. Like just about every scene was fade to black. So this gets a definite 2 out of 5 for spice. Overall though, this is a strong  out of  read for me. I burned through this really quickly. i loved seeing how they were able to fight for their relationship, despite everything being against them. They were able to fight through the missunderstandings and the discrimination to find each other again. In the end, they were able to bring together people, who normally wouldn't have been able to see to the other side of each other. I would definitely recommend this book to others. This series so far has been amazing!

Tempt Me - Review

 The next series that I decided to take on in my re-read sessions was the Wolf Hotel series by KA Tucker. This series was one that I devoured when I originally read it so I wanted to see if it still hit the same as then! This first book definitely has taken advantage of the naive virgin trope and really let it go full tilt. We meet Abbi as she is going through one of the worst moments in her life. She just found out that her fiancé cheated on her. Of course she comes from a super religious background meaning that they feel like it's ok for the man to do this while she must remain chaste. I mean all the things that young adults get into are things that she was forbidden to do, whether it was drinking, partying or wearing and talking about certain things. Our girl is oblivious. So when she runs into the one and only Henry Wolf, who has done just about any and everything, she is intrigued and curious. I liked that the FMC wasn't someone who fell into her upbringing heavily and did...

Reflected In You - Review

  Wow. I almost don't know how to feel after reading this book. I mean Gideon and Ava are definitely running me through the emotional ringer with this one. I mean they are constantly on a roller coaster themselves! One day they are madly happy then the next day they are close to hating each other. Most of it honestly, is communication. They both have bad communication skills honestly. They feed each others hurt. Yet they are great when they are great. I mean there is a scene in this book where it's almost picture perfection. Then we get instances when one lashes out subconsciously at the other. The issue stemming from the fact that one is very close lipped about something. Which by the end of the book, it makes sense....my LORD, was I stressed while reading this. The amount of times that I stopped and just yelled at one of the other about what the heck they had going on. Like my goodness! I almost don't even know how we got to where we did by the end. The whiplash was real....

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...
