Shifting Moon Saga book 1

 Shifting Moon by Hope Worthington




Rem and Logan's story ...it had a strong teen vibe but all in all I liked the concept and story itself. I have book 2 waiting next so I am happy to jump right back in and see how it continues! 
I absolutely loved the inspiration of Rem's name LOL  I guess my age was showing there. No spice in this one but  a healthy dose of tension. A nice story with a good back story and character development. At times I had a bit of a Twilight vibe and I noticed it was a first one ...yet it was new and original enough to keep me into the story and interested .... so Changing Tides here I come ... I look forward to meeting Rem and Logan again! All in all a cute read, not a WOW but definitely worth your time!

Only be mine

 Only Be Mine by Jennifer Harrison




This was an ARC read.
Wow
No spice this time but man, what a story. One that grabs you, keeps you busy, makes you think.
2 POV but not the varied one like in most romance books. 
It was much deeper than I expected, but I had to finish it, to know what happened, to know if I had my sleuthing cap on, how it would end .. 
It left me feeling bittersweet ... It was so much more than a beautiful love story, it also broke my heart.
Don't read if you are sensitive to mental abuse, if you are no stranger to it; know you are not alone, there is help out there and you are stronger than you think ... Hang on! Don't give up.

The Fae's Promise

The Fae's Promise Grym Hollow #5 by Tati B Alvaraz 






This was an ARC read.

Even though this is book 5 it is perfectly readable as a stand alone ... but be warned it leaves you wanting more! 

I loved the high fantasy level of this novel with the correct amount of spice ... the kind of spice that was a first for me, a bit out of my comfortzone, or so I thought. It took me longer than a general novel to read since I was recovering from being sick and was more tired but I think it was so hot at times, I just got rid of those germs by reading this book ...

Lovely 3 POV romantasy, that kept you on the edge of your seat, the storyline was captivating, the spice was well spicey and I know I will look for the other books too, I am definitely looking forward to book 6! For fans of the more sexy kinda book, for fans of fairies and true love, or even for fans that think cooking is a thing of love ... Go get it!

Through your eyes

 Through your eyes by Luci Briar




How cute was this ! It was freaky Friday meeting ... hitman meeting some steamy love story.

It was a fast read and very original in combination of not too steamy all the time and some magical stuff and some unexpected stuff .... yeah I liked it a lot. It was a fast read, that I could easily concentrate on did I tell you it was cute? In a weird kinda way ... I hope more of these Hellborn lovers will come my way! (sorry for the delay I got sick!) Oh and this was another fantastic ARC read. I feel blessed!

Bad Blood Betrothal

Bad Blood Betrothal by Ila Saint James




This was an ARC read


Nice debut novel ...Wren and Declan were fun to read, again 2 POV and I really enjoy those.
The spicy side was cool, not the type I am used to (and I read about a lot).
The character development was well enough to understand what happened to them and with the backstory and flashback that are provided it creates a clear picture.
And if the idea was to have an instant dislike to most of Declan's family ... well that worked!
I am curious to see what Ila will come up with in the future ....

The Roommate Rules

 The Roommate rules by Brighton Walsh



Oooh Pen and Declan... So good. ❤️ I cannot wait to read the other stories too (got some catching up to do). 2 POV, original concept (lessons? Cool) a lot of spice and yet a lot of character development and a good story line ... And very relatable story line about building walls and being hurt/disappointed before and protecting yourself by only counting on yourself. And the long path to let go of the past and learning to trust and love again, without walls. I would recommend this to my girlfriends 6 tattoos out of 5

Dodge Devil's Tide MC #1

 Dodge Devil's Tide MC #1 by B. Sobjakken




Man, I wasn't even close to being ready to finish this book. I wanted to know more, read more.
I wanted to read more about Dodge and Autumn and Winnie .. I have so many question left.
It was spicier than most books but I loved it. The groupchat in between was hysterical.
But why couldn't it be a few chapters longer ... Do I need to say I want to read more about the Devil's Tide? About the whole family? I loved it!

Memories of you

 Memories of you by Madi Danielle



I jumped into Parker and Lily's story not knowing what to do, I felt like reading but the 2 previous books couldn't keep my attention but I finished this one in about a day ...
This is a cute exciting "the one that got away, but not really" story about a first love. Tons of sexy firefighters (and I don't usually like a mustache), a lot of speaking before thinking and animals! I loved Franki ...It was spicey and made me giggle, so hard I had to share a paragraph with my husband (throat goat lol).
I like the 2POV, I like it more and more. There is just enough of backstory and character development that you feel you really get to know them all. Makes me want to read the first 2 just as much. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 out of 5

This was another ARC read and I am very happy and honored I got the chance to do this.
