Queen Reviews

 This brings me re-read of this series to an end. Now there is nothing but new things to start with this series and I can't wait. The author heard the desperate cries of her fandom and brought us back to the world of Shara and her Blood. For this book in particular, I couldn't wait to see how things were going to go against a Queen the likes of Marne Ceresa. Sure enough it was interesting. Marne showed that there is a reason that she is Triune Queen and put Shara to the test. I enjoyed reading the back and forth between these two. It will be interesting to see if Marne decides to be on Shara's side if and when she goes against the Dauphine. Shara showed more growth in this book and I can't wait to see how the continues. We also get to see more of her blood and their internal thoughts in this book. Some of them we hadn't heard from in awhile and they got their shine in this book. I really appreciated that. They tend to fall into the background with so many big person...

This book was so much better than I thought it was going to be! I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't a story that was able to capture the complex relationships that we have with people in our lives. They can be morally bad and yet we still can care about them. They can truly so evil things and not care about anyone but us and SHOW us this and we still love them. This was never clearer than when I was reading this story. Oraya was the human daughter of the vampire king, who had to learn how to survive in a world that saw her as weak and as prey. Her father encouraged this and wanted her to enter a trial that would end with her getting the power she needed to no longer be weak. In a world as savage as the one that they live in, I can understand why they both were looking to do this. Despite the fact that Oraya is at a HUGE disadvantage here and has a high chance of death. We see how much she has to battle with everything while in the trials...including her heart. We me...

This is the second entry in the Alpha Territories series and I really enjoyed the first book. This second one however, not so much. I felt almost lost in the sauce. There was the main story of the evil brother who killed the dad, then finding Jordan for Sienna, a classist love story between a Prince and a maid and finally we get whatever the heck Sienna is. The fact that no one has said what she is yet, but everyone just knows she's other was kinda annoying. Then the fact that she has this complex where she thinks that she knows what's best for everyone. I understand that Jordan might have a disability but this man says that he wants to stay and loves it there and she just won't accept that. She can't even see beyond her own prejudice against the other creatures despite it being proven time and again that she too is other. It made me want to scream and shake her. Then Bee... being a jelly belly was just not it. You can't claim to be a bestie and be that ...

 This book was not what I expected. I definitely thought that it was going to be more spice than it was. I mean since the name is Breed For the Beast. There was plenty of steamy moments in the book but it was pretty much that for awhile. Nothing but steam until finally there wasn't. The plot of everything else was ok. The whole betrayal and the beef between the guys was interesting but I was also not really invested in anything other than watching how they managed to deal with the betrayer. It was interesting watching how this particular family worked. Though there didn't seem to be any true menace other than the one guy who was an enemy of Lugh (our MMC). Lugh and the rest of the Irish Mob definitely didn't seem menacing at all. I liked the story for what it was but I probably wouldn't read more by this author. The spice in this book was alright once we finally got to it. I was hoping for something more than what we ended up getting. I would give this book a 3 out of 3...

  This book almost felt like a biography. Not in like an educational way but in that this could literally be something that happened to this author and I would not have been surprised. This book had to do with a romance author who was going through some rough times and found that it was hard for her to write. So when a friend decided to help her out and try to give her something else to focus on, she becomes a nanny to a hockey star. Then of course sparks fly and that's the story. Of course there was some drama that happened in between, but this could definitely be someone's real life story...easily. I found that to be an interesting aspect to the story. I can't tell if I liked it or not so I'm just gonna say it was meh. I have been heavily into my contemporary romance era and I'm dying to escape. That could also be part of it. The story itself was good. My only complaint was the slight moment when the characters had a moment of strife with each other. The situation...

This book was different. I think this may have been the second book that I've read where the MMCs already had a relationship and then they were adding in the FMC. I think that this book definitely handled things better than the other book that I read with this did. You could see the relationship that was built with the characters and I loved that. However, my only complaint in this book was that the FMC started to get a little annoying. She was being childish in situations that I thought she should be looking at through a different lens but then again she is in her early 20s. I liked seeing that she had moments of growth thanks to the guys. The relationship they managed to build with not only each other but with family members in this story gave it such a wholesome feel. I definitely don't think I thought this book was going to go in the direction that it ended up going in but I really enjoyed it.  This book was S P I C Y. Whew. This throuple definitely was leaving no stone unc...

  Well cheers to a successful year!! All the holidays and everything going on this year. I will be posting my End of the Year review with some fun categories that will be a little different then this one but we have to send December off with a bang! As the days were getting colder, the less books that I was reading but they were still just as good! I had another full month with no DNF's so I'll call that a month well read!! I really had a great year and I can't wait to break it down for you in my end of year wrap up. For now though, let's recap the books that I was able to read this month! Favorite Character  - Cyan (Legacy of Chaos): I really loved Cyan! Like I felt so seen! Nerdy girls everywhere should feel very seen by her. She was someone who was a nerd who feel for a fellow nerd. She also took no smack and she knew her stuff. I was so glad to get a FMC like her! She really made reading about the trauma that Stryker was going through much more bearable. Not only th...
