Despite having befriended two savage wolves, Ezra Fowler and Blade Vanderwood, the town is crawling with supernatural creatures who’d love nothing more than to taste Lilith.
Dreary Shadows Part II takes a number of unexpected twists and turns. I loved the details we learn about Lilith’s witchy lineage and the history of the various supernatural creatures. Each member of the harem is unique and I enjoy their perspectives, not to mention the introduction of Zeus and the certifiable Gunnar.
I was expecting another brutal cliffy, but it’s not. That said, I am still on the edge of my seat waiting to see how Lil’s story is going to come together.

With a complicated life, Olivia JoneWhen a heckler catches goalie, Walker Davis’, attention during a game, he’s immediately transfixed by her beauty. With a complicated life, Olivia Jones, can only offer a one-night-stand. She’ll soon learn that Disney will stop at nothing to be her knight in shining armor.
Disney epitomizes two descriptors I would have likely never put together before this series: unhinged and romantic. His behavior coalesces into the most unexpectedly perfect COCKtail of next-level filthy, sweet, and pșyçhotìç.
I think it’s safe to say we’ve all been anxiously awaiting Disney’s story and he. did. not. disappoint.

Christmas Day changed everything for Royce where Riley was concerned. Grayson, however, was clinging to his hatred, unable to accept anything besides what he thought he knew. Meanwhile, Riley was fortifying herself for the future.
Wicked Minds proves to be an emotional and difficult chapter in the Halston U story. While secrets were revealed and questions answered, there are many more issues to resolve before Riley and the guys can get their HEA.

Willing to step out of herStorm Peyton, a grad student studying criminology and part-time author of suspense novels is suffering from writer’s block. Willing to step out of her comfort zone to get her mojo back, she sends a letter to an inmate. A delivery blunder has her letter being delivered to an inmate on death row and when he catches sight of her during a class tour, all bets are off.
These two were perfectly imperfect! Micah was everything I didn’t know I needed. He was sweet in an unhinged way. I enjoyed seeing the way Storm embraced the darkness she didn’t even know was lurking beneath the surface.
I am content with the HFN, but I would love to see an extended epilogue or them popping up in an interconnected story featuring Sierra! Manifesting that… ✨

Scheduled for a writer’s retreat at The Vincent, an infamous hotel known for its spooky happenings, she takes Priest along after her roomie bails.
I really wasn't entirely sure what to expect out of this one, but it exceeded my expectations. Forbidden romances are my favorite, particularly the stepbrother trope. Combine that with all the steam and the twists and turns with the paranormal mystery, and you've got an edge-of-your-seat, what-the-hell-is-going-on and what-is-going-to-happen-next thriller!

This action-packed half of her story brings a lot of emotion as Kira faces long-repressed memories and incredibly difficult decisions as she moves forward.
I’m really conflicted about this installment, to be honest. In the broad sense, I liked the trajectory, all the twists and turns. That said, there were several events that hurt my heart to get us to the HEA. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a dark romance and I understand what that entails. I just… ...more

After a passionate, albeit undefined quasi-relationship in college, the two don’t set eyes on one another for nearly a decade.
Through a series of embarrassing moments and harmless pranks, the two navigate the here-and-now that remains shrouded by the past.
I’ll be honest, I was iffy about CoraLee stepping so far away from where she began. I will never not miss the dark corners of her mind. Curling iron incident, anyone? But this new side we’re seeing is rooted in reality and utterly hysterical. From the witty banter to the inner monologues and mortifying situations to the cacophony of side characters, I enjoyed the lighter side of CoraLee.

During their meeting, defense attorney Ford Montgomery suggests an unorthodox approach to paying her ex-boyfriend’s legal fees.
I really liked that it wasn’t a standard rich boy/poor girl trope. Yes, Bernie is down on her luck, but there’s a unique twist.
I absolutely love that Bernie owns her body and designs high-end clothing for plus size women. She is strong and smart in so many ways, but daft in others which made her an overall meh character for me.
Moreover, while not an insta-love per se, the relationships move at warp speed. Given that it was nearly 400 pages, I expected more tangible development.

Always in the shadow of her parents, Scarlett has been dreaming of a way to standout on her own. When Tate proposes a relationship, it seems the solution to help them both get what they’re after.
A light, low-angst read, perfect for cleansing your palate.

Sophia was as strong as ever, unwilling to settle for Own is the heart-stopping conclusion to this intense trilogy set in the Midnight Dynasty world.
Sophia was as strong as ever, unwilling to settle for anything less than she deserves. Her tenacity made this one for me. Yet Damon did little to endear himself to me after the events in book two. I was really hoping for an epic grovel after he worked through his emotional baggage.
I am itching to learn more about the catastrophe at Violent Delights. Likewise, I’m hopeful we’ll see more from Lizzy in a future release.

Soon, she catches the eye of Nicholas Lockewood, one of the school’s hottest football players.
When a misunderstanding puts the star quarterback on high alert, Joey’s life is turned upside down.
Whew! Too Safe was not at all what I was expecting and I loved it! Each of the guys is very different with distinct personalities and baggage. Getting to know each of them individually was appreciated as that can sometimes be lacking in a why choose.
Despite a lack of steam, I enjoyed the angst and buildup. With the surprising end to book one, I’m guessing Too Fast should have some action. I’m hoping we’ll get to know the aloof Kendrick better too.

The Home for a holiday party after keeping her distance, 23-year-old Lexi Everett accidentally becomes locked in the wine cellar with her step uncle.
The object of her obsession, 46-year-old Caleb Hunt has stayed away from his family after briefly losing control in her presence. Now, trapped, all bets are off.
The plot to steam ratio is a little (read: a lot) skewed. But it’s perfect for what it is.
At 19, Kira has spent years in hiding. Ready to meet her fate, she is escorted by Nathaniel, the Crown Prince, to Volmasque Academy. There, as a wolf At 19, Kira has spent years in hiding. Ready to meet her fate, she is escorted by Nathaniel, the Crown Prince, to Volmasque Academy. There, as a wolf shifter, she’ll be trained to become an obedient pet for a vampire master.
While not plot heavy, there is enough to assuage any guilt. Moreover, that cliffy at the end suggests that the plot will thicken considerably with Plug & Tame.
As for our characters, I love a domineering MMC, but I also liked the glimpses of Nathaniel’s true self. Likewise, it’s clear that Kira has been holding back and I can’t wait to see how she handles that ...more

Her attendance, however, sets up the perfect opportunity for Dean Christopher Groveton to get revenge on his stepbrother.
Whew… This was quite the ride! I’ve got whiplash from the way Chris ran hot and cold. Speaking of hot and cold, I’m all hot and bothered and need a cold shower.
While not exactly a cliffy, the ending was a bit abrupt. However, it sounds like we’ll be seeing Chris and Jazz again. All in all, a good read!
