Savage Love

      I would like to thank Reveal Romance Book Box for delivering this book to me!! I definitely could not put it down!! I really want to get the second book when it comes out! I enjoyed this book even though the ending was like wtf. So in this book we meet Kim and Morgan. Two people from totally different worlds who happen to meet at a party and manage to change each other's lives for the better. Kim has it rough, she's dealing with the death of her mother and the abandonment she feels from her father which really shapes her perspective on everything in her life. She never forms attachments and is quick to see the bad in everyone. Morgan helps her change and realize that you can't always lash out at people. When they have problems he's there to be the rock while she is the waves crashing against him. It's very nice to see how she was able to slowly open up.  On the other side Morgan has a privileged life and he hasn't let anyone get close to him in...

For The Love of Demons

Image
           This was a very hard to finish book. It didn't capture me like the previous book did. I'm not sure if there was too much going on or if this was just a transition book. Aria felt very lack luster in this one and there was no sense of urgency. Since they were on the hunt for the relics instead of defending from them being taken. Even still it has taken me just at a week to try to complete this book.         Aria is still on the hunt to find out who and what she is. The demons are still unsure of whether or not they want to keep her or if they are going to devour her soul before they return to hell. We are also introduced to what appears to be an angel. They've been visiting Aria randomly and then immediately disappearing before she can interact with them. Then she finally meets them. Based off the vibes she got from this person she definitely should have stranger dangered them immediately. Instead she allows th...

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures!

             In this series by K.A. Tucker we get the billionaire bad boy Gabriel and the hard working and fiery Mercy. Mercy is stuck between a rock and a hard place when she meets Gabriel, who proves to be the answer to her prayers. Meeting Mercy, you feel bad for her immediately. She's in a terrible situation with her dad and her mom has already died from drugs. Those things alone make you already attached to her and then to hear the story that led to her dad being in jail.. it all just feels like it could happen to anyone. Definitely made her relatable. Gabriel on the other hand, is supposed to be this hard-core drug dealers play boy son but I definitely don't feel any danger from him or his brother Caleb. All we see from them is the playboy side and not the "I will kill you if you disrespect me" side. I guess that does go along with the fact that both brothers want to get out of the family business. Since we barely see them doing anyth...

The One You Least Expect

Image
                This book was definitely different. Instead of the gorgeous heroine who just didn't know she was pretty, we get a scarred and curve-less Sadie. The amount of times they say how scrawny she is was a bit much but I get it. We meet her right before her life changes. She is getting abused along side her sister by someone who "took her in". Instead of being a good person he happens to be a douchecano of epic proportions. In this world there is the ABO dynamics (alpha, beta and Omega). There are also fae that exist in a different realm and also apparently humans. We don't meet the humans but apparently we're in the world dominated by regulars AKA betas or Nulls. Poor Sadie is smaller than all the dynamics and sticks out with her white hair and red eyes. I felt happy for her being able to escape from the Dick. Unfortunately she went from being a nobody to someone everyone was looking at. In this world only men are alphas and o...

What Happens When We Die?

            This is my first book from my Romance Reveal Book Box!! I was very excited to finally try a physical book again. It's been so long!! I must say it's not as glamorous as I remembered. Many a night I went to go to bed and read only to realize I was tormenting my partner with lights when he's used to us sleeping with lights off. Definitely made things a struggle. Though it felt nice to use a book mark again and to also see my progress as I went through the book. Well let's jump into the review!!         This book is the story of how Elle had a life changing experience and how it changed her perspective on how she was living her life. It also helped her change her serious and gloomy boss. I liked how Elle was able to stop and smell the roses despite the fact that she lived in New York and most people just wanted to speed through life. Her, meeting her boss in person and then essentially helping him change his neices l...

No Shame In Her Game

Image
      I'm in a conundrum about this book. This book is set in a purely made up world where most of the people haven't seen people of different races. They know they exist but don't seem to have much interaction with them. It's not placed in current day or have anything really to do with our reality. Yet the main character of this story is a black woman and the author is white. To me there doesn't seem to be a disrespectful feel to the story since her being black doesn't really affect the story. It's definitely something that is brought up but it's not like...a main plot point. Hence my issue since as a POC myself, I want to see black authors succeed writing stories that feel authentic. If we ok people who aren't POC to write books with POC main characters will that super saturate the genre with unauthentic stories? Therein lies my problem. I still enjoyed this book but it could definitely be problematic. With that being said let's get...

Loving All of You

In Glow by Raven Kennedy, we pick up exactly where we left off, with Auren just killing Midas and everyone in the Fourth Kingdom gang coming to terms with everything that's happened. Let's just get into the review!! We get the perspective of many of the characters in this book. We get some of the background of Slade, we see the machinations of Queen Kaila, a small dose of Queen Malina- who is in fact, NOT dead, Osrik and Rissa. I could have done without seeing Osrik and Rissa's budding romance but I know it's going to be important somehow. Queen Kaila is a manipulative Monarch if there ever was one. It seems that all of the Monarchs have all gotten way too comfortable where they are and will do anything to stay in power. Including lying, which Queen Kaila manages to display throughout this book. It's hard to imagine that Slade is the only good ruler out of them all. But I guess after being born and raised in this life, since the rule is hereditary, makes it harder f...
