It’s entirely consuming, and even at over 600 pages in length, I did not want to put it down.
Fourth Wing is perfect for readers like me who enjoy escape but aren’t huge fans of fantasy. I tend to get lost in too much world building and sorting out the various species, fae, gods, etc. to fully enjoy most of the fantasy novels I’ve read. This book has just the right amount of world building for me, probably because the story takes place primarily at Basgiath War College.
Violet captured my heart from the very first chapter. Her body is frail and people doubt her, but she has an audacious, rebellious spirit, a brilliant mind, and a virtual spine of steel. You’d be a fool to underestimate her abilities. I loved the complexities of her relationships with childhood friend Dain and sworn archenemy Xaden. Violet’s navigation of relentless tests of endurance, strength, and bravery was intoxicating. The danger surrounding her ruthless classmates kept me on the edge of my seat.
I’m a diehard romance lover, but the couple of explicit sex scenes felt out of place and not in keeping with the tone of the rest of the novel. There’s a bit of humor mixed in though, which I appreciated.
The dragons! What a surprise to have a whole different set of characters. The bonds with their riders are remarkable. I enjoyed learning about each of them and their relationships, and the delicious anticipation of discovering each student’s magical gifts.
The book ends on the mother of all cliffhangers. I can’t believe I have to wait three more months before Iron Flame is released. I’m already counting down the days.

While the first book highlights the period leading up to the plane crash, The Difference Between Somehow and Someway gives us some of Bowen’s experiences during the days and months following the tragedy. It’s an angst fest to be sure, but I’m more in love with Remi and Bowen than ever. These two are perfect for each other, and I couldn’t read the story fast enough.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been willing to invest my time in reading a trilogy, but based on this angst-filled yet enthralling start, I think it will be well worth it.
Remi and Bowen are survivors of the same horrific plane crash. When their paths eventually cross, she feels an instant connection to him. After a few adorably awkward encounters, some friendly stalking, and a little persistence on Remi’s part, I found myself completely wrapped up in their love affair.
I have a serious girl crush on Remi. She’s clumsy, quirky, funny, and kind. How could Bowen possibly resist her?
Bowen is suffocating under the weight of grief following the loss of his fiancee in the crash. My heart hurt for him, but it made me appreciate the light that Remi brings to his life so much more. He is the ultimate boyfriend—completely devoted and protective.
The book ends with a twist that leaves you hanging. Me, famous detector of all twists, did not see this one coming. I’m still trying to dissect it, but I can’t wait to read the next book.

The Naked Fisherman is yet another entirely unique story by Jewel E. Ann, filled with flawed and complicated characters. The beginning of the book is The Naked Fisherman is yet another entirely unique story by Jewel E. Ann, filled with flawed and complicated characters. The beginning of the book is rather lighthearted, so I was quite surprised by how emotional it actually is.
The story follows 18-year-old Reese as she grapples with her faith, Mommy issues, sexual awakening, and new adulthood. Reese is directionless when she relocates to Colorado to live with her mom and hopefully mend their fractured relationship. It’s unbelievable to me that after a five-year separation, her mom, Rory, would wait until Reese arrives to casually mention that she’s leaving town for a month. Not off to the best start, but Reese won’t be left alone. Fisher, Rory’s landlord, lives upstairs and has promised to look out for Reese. It only takes a hot minute before she develops a crush on the 28-year-old construction company owner, and I can’t blame her. Reese is one huge helping of shirtless, testosterone-laden yumminess.
This coming of age story reminded me of all the insecurities and uncertainty that comes with quasi-adulthood. My heart ached for Reese and her growing pains. Understandably, Reese’s immaturity frequently shows. It’s that quality in particular that made it challenging for me to picture a healthy partnership with Fisher. For his part, Fisher is less than forthcoming at times, and that plays on her insecurities.
While I’m all for an age gap romance, I couldn’t help but wonder what an 18 year-old girl who is confused and inexperienced could offer a successful 28-year-old man. 10 years is a big age difference, but had they been 25 and 35 it would have been easier to root for them. Reese simply needs more life experience to bring to a relationship.
Jewel E. Ann’s books are rarely black and white. Therefore, even though I sensed that Reese and Fisher’s relationship was doomed from the start, I was invested in being proven wrong. There’s a lot of sneaking around, and the prospect of Fisher and Reese getting caught creates added excitement. I loved their chemistry and banter. Reese must tackle some big decisions in the latter third of the book and it is totally absorbing. I also enjoyed Rory and Reese dealing with some of their mother-daughter issues.
I’m eager to follow Reese’s continued journey in the conclusion, The Lost Fisherman.

The story picks up right where Wild Like Us left off, but the pace seems faster and there’s a lot more at stake for everyone.
With leaks becoming more and more frequent and potentially dangerous, the race is on to find the source before everything comes tumbling down, especially on Sulli, Akara, and Banks. I was holding my breath waiting for their relationship to be revealed to the world.
Complex layers are added by exploring how each of the family members and bodyguards react to the news that Sulli, Akara, and Banks are in a polyamorous relationship. Each reaction is incredibly different. I’m not knowledgeable enough about polyamorous relationships to fully understand the triad’s insistence that a poly romance is the only type of relationship that could work for them, but I’m trying to go with the flow.
Hold on tight because there’s another whopper of a cliffy at the end. I’ve gotten a sneak peek at the conclusion of their story, Infamous Like Us, and I think we’re in for a wild ride. I’m super excited and although I have my favorite pairing, I still have no idea if it will be #kitsulli, #sulletti, or #kitsulletti in the long run.

I love the snark of the heroine and I'm still enchanted by the universe Thalassa has created. I wish I felt more invested in the characters, though. The pacing of the story is off at times, particularly when it speeds through moments that could develop more in-depth relationships between characters. Callie and her best friend, Temper, come to mind. Speaking of, I'm not at all a fan of the way Temper is depicted in the stereotypical black girl light. She could be written as much more than a neck-rolling, foul-mouthed, sex-obsessed, angry black woman.
The ending is super duper rushed and messy. Despite that, it leaves the reader needing to know what happens next with Des and Callie, which is what a good cliffhanger is meant to do.

It’s very complex and I’m enamored with the enigmatic hero, DesmondI don’t read much fantasy but I have to say that Rhapsodic is an intriguing story. It’s very complex and I’m enamored with the enigmatic hero, Desmond (aka The Bargainer or The King of the Night). I’m also drawn to Callie, a broken but resilient siren fueled by anger and lust.
The writing could use some editing. There are some typos but I mainly object to the choppy storytelling. The story unfolds by flashing back and forth between present and past -- not a favorite device of mine. It could possibly work if one full chapter was set in the past and another was set in the present. The way it is written, however, the story switches back and forth mid-chapter. Even when dealing with key moments during a particular time period, the author rarely sees the action through to the end of the chapter. For example, a chapter might begin in the present day and then switch to March, 7 years ago. We come to a key point in the story when everything freezes. A new “header� (not a new chapter) is inserted that also says March, 7 years ago and the story picks up again. It’s just odd.
That aside, the fairies, werewolves, sirens, enchanters and their lives both on earth and in the Otherworld have completely beguiled me. The ending is a doozy and I’m eager to see where the story leads.

They’re nerve wracking and only work for me if the ship I love the most is the one that prevails. However, I am a huge fan of this series, so how could I pass up the opportunity to read Wild Like Us? The fact that I was disappointed in the story is mostly on me, and fair warning that my reasons why may be a bit spoilery.
I had no desire to read about threesomes, and despite the MFM statement in the blurb, I could have sworn I read somewhere ages ago that the authors said menage isn’t part of this book. There’s no MM aspect so maybe that’s what they were talking about? Anyway...
I thought I was signing up for a story where Sulli was dating—and yes, sleeping with—two men separately. Like I said, my bad for misunderstanding. Akara Kitsuwon has been Sulli’s bodyguard for years, so they know each other well. They’ve been like friends who harmlessly flirt. However, Banks Moretti only recently became Sulli’s protector. She’s developed romantic feelings for both men, but she doesn’t spend enough time with Banks, getting to know him, before jumping into a serious relationship with him—and a menage at that. Instead of them mainly spending time as a trio, I would have enjoyed it more if Sulli dated each man separately so I could better understand how her dynamics with Banks differed from her relationship with Akara.
Sulli has been somewhat in the background in previous books, so I liked learning more about her personality and passions. I also appreciated seeing Akara and Banks’s friendship develop more and solidify.
We’re left with a cliffhanger, and two more books remain in their story. Even though this isn’t my favorite book in the series—Maximoff and Farrow still own my heart—I’ll be reading more to find out how things unfold.

I’m still trying to wrap my brain around what I just read, but what I do know is that The Life That Mattered knocked my socks off. Spoiler-free Review
I’m still trying to wrap my brain around what I just read, but what I do know is that The Life That Mattered knocked my socks off. With painstaking execution, this entirely unique, consuming, passionate, and thought-provoking novel puts Jewel E. Ann’s literary sorcery on full display. Nice to see you again, Book Hangover.
There is a lot to unpack in the synopsis. Olympic skier, fashion designer, chemist, bath shop owner, what sounds like a foursome, love story, tragedy, thriller... Say what? If I’m honest, it had me confused and a bit hesitant to read the book. If other readers are similarly conflicted, here’s all you really need to know: Two main characters fall in love. They are best friends with another couple. The four of them aren’t swingers. Some crazy sh*t happens and it will leave you reeling.
Ronin and Evelyn are two people who fall deeply in love very quickly. I abhor instant love in fiction as a general rule, but their connection feels not only authentic but inevitable. Their meet cute is so endearing, and the fierce love they share is evident throughout the entire book.
Unquestionably, Ronin is wonderful man who is devoted to Evelyn, but he’s hiding something. I had my heart in my throat waiting to uncover the complete truth and how it might affect them. Their best friends, Lila and Graham, have a complicated relationship. Their dynamic fascinated me and kept me guessing.
The character development is exceptional. Evelyn is my favorite. I was immediately drawn to her imperfections and easy nature. Her love for her family, friends, and just life in general is contagious. Her joy was my joy; her heartache was my heartache.
The Life That Mattered is the first book in the Life Duet, and it has a cliffhanger that tested my sanity. I love puzzles, though, and this book leaves many pieces to put together. I finished the last sentence and then went back and re-read the prologue and a few other passages at least a half dozen times. I have absolutely no idea where this story is heading, but I can’t wait to get my hands on The Life You Stole to find out.

Resist was a pleasant surprise. It’s a K. Bromberg book which means having some sizzle is a given, but I did not anticipate the added layer of suspense.
The stakes are high for Vaughn, who is walking a tight rope while playing a very dangerous juggling game. The tension mounts as we wait to see if/when one of those balls drops and destroys everything she holds dear. Vaughn is such a mysterious and richly developed character.
Ryker is a dominant alpha male who also possesses impressive restraint when dealing with Vaughn. She is reluctant to trust anyone, so there is a bit of a power struggle between the two of them which leads to heat between the sheets. A little more background on Ryker would have been nice, but I’m not mad. The book ends with a cliffhanger so there is plenty of time to learn more about him.
I’m picky about my audiobooks, and this one is fantastic. The narration really heightened my enjoyment of the story. Erin Mallon strikes the perfect balance between Vaughn’s vulnerability and determination. Jason Clarke’s voice oozes sex appeal, and he effectively conveys Ryker’s power and passion. I’m looking forward to listening to the conclusion when it is released.

The mystery lingers throughout—one I’m still interested in solving—but a great deal of repetition also persists. In an ideal world, The Princess would tie up all the loose ends and be the end of this series. Even with the threats and danger, there doesn’t seem to be enough substance to accommodate a trilogy.

The story left me eager for more, despite some flaws that would normally have me giving the book a lower rating.
My biggest peeve is that the dialogue is repetitive. It reminded me of the movie Groundhog Day. Eric and Harper hurl accusations at each other only to have the exact same argument minutes later as if for the first time. Eric accuses Harper of being “one of them”—allied with his enemies. Harper is resentful of Eric leaving her and is worried he will walk away from her.
That said, there is a ton of juicy suspense surrounding an intriguing mystery. I found myself constantly questioning loyalties and truths. Eric has a brilliant, analytical mind and the sexy confidence one expects from a Navy SEAL. Harper’s devotion to her mom, while irritating, shows just how devoted she is to those she loves. Eric and Harper are magnetic so I wasn’t surprised by the amount of sex, but I think Eric often uses it as a way to distract himself from doubt.
The book ends on a huge cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to dive into book two next.

I’m pretty sure I could get pregnant just by listening to his deep, gravelly voice. I often cringe when I hear males impersonating female voices and vice versa, but these two are enjoyable. I value narrators like Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke who put genuine emotion into storytelling rather than sounding like they are simply reading words on a page.

I pulled an all-nighter reading Flock and my mind is reeling. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from the plot because the synopsis is frustratingly ambiguous. Now that I’m familiar with this very original story, I’m still trying to process what I read.
The book takes the reader on a wild journey that is told from the perspective of Cecilia, a 19-year-old who has temporarily moved in with her estranged father. Finding herself in a mysterious new town, she seizes the opportunity to step outside her comfort zone, take new chances, and face her fears.
Cecilia’s rebelliousness helps fuel this exhilarating tale that is filled with a dark air of suspense and intrigue. The tension between each and every character is pulled taut. At times it feels like a train wreck waiting to happen, but I could not tear my eyes away from the pages.
Hold onto your panties, ladies! Flock is sinfully hot. The sexy/suspenseful combination reminds me of the Kate Stewart of old, back when she was writing erotic books as Angelica Chase.
This unconventional story constantly kept me on my toes, which makes me one happy reader. There are many things that remain unclear and the ending is a real cliffhanger. I have absolutely no idea where the plot is headed, but I’m excited to see how things unfold in the conclusion.

Ultimately,Full disclosure: Captor/prisoner stories historically aren’t my thing. The fact that Ruthless King is book one in a trilogy gave me pause. Ultimately, I decided to give it a go (obviously), but I’m still not sure what to think about Meghan March’s foray into dark romance territory.
On the one hand, I enjoyed the heck out of Keira. She is feisty, tenacious, and sarcastic. She kind of reminds me of me—if I owned a whisky distillery, attracted a-holes like flies to honey, and had a dangerous gazillionaire who desperately wanted to get in my pants.
Then there’s Mount. He’s an anti-hero through and through. In my opinion there’s nothing appealing about him. He’s vulgar, selfish, and has only two priorities: sex and power—how quickly he can pressure Keira to have sex, what type of sex he can force Keira to agree to, and how much pleasure he’ll get out of sex. I get that anti-heroes by definition aren’t kind, and trilogies require more time for characters to grow, but I need to find some redeemable qualities in a man before I want a romance to blossom with the heroine.
The last chapter is probably the most interesting and would be the impetus in me continuing with the trilogy. Damn those cliffhangers!

I continue to be amazed by the creative capacity of Jewel E. Ann. Her books refuse to be contained in tidy, predictable boxes. Transcend is aptly nameI continue to be amazed by the creative capacity of Jewel E. Ann. Her books refuse to be contained in tidy, predictable boxes. Transcend is aptly named because it surpasses all expectations in terms of originality, intricacy, mystery, and poignancy.
Jewel E. Ann excels in the development of characters who are flawed but believably compelling. One of the strengths of this book is the protagonist, Swayze. She is 21 and incredibly intelligent and trustworthy, but in some ways still immature. The thing is that she owns her strengths and weaknesses rather than pretending to be someone she’s not. Her vulnerability is sometimes paired with touches of snarkiness and stubbornness, which earns her bonus points in my book.
Swayze’s biker boyfriend, Griffin, is a bit of a dichotomy. His easygoing behavior makes him seem indifferent at times, but he’s very much tuned in to Swayze’s emotions and needs. He shows his devotion to Swayze in subtle but loving ways, and their attraction is nothing short of combustible. I would definitely go back for a second helping of a Griffin sundae with hot fudge and whipped cream on top.
Then there’s Professor Nate. He is an easy character to identify with. His life is in turmoil, he is grieving, and his pain is absolutely palpable. With Swayze’s influence, Nate’s evolution from an emotionally wrecked man who is barely holding on for his baby daughter’s sake to a man of hope and confidence is fascinating.
This story is extraordinary, challenging, and captivating. Yes, Transcend ends on a cliffhanger, but fear not. The conclusion releases in two weeks.

WhenIt’s been ages since I’ve read a true paranormal novel. I’ve been in a bit of a reading rut, so it was the perfect time to shake things up a bit. When I read the synopsis for Blood Type I knew I couldn’t pass it up. It’s a paranormal romantic suspense, and while vampire stories are nothing new, the premise behind vampires and humans co-existing is really creative.
The story is enthralling and I never stopping being intrigued by the intimidating, enigmatic, and powerful vampire, Beckham. I respected Reyna for battling her fears to do everything in her power to ensure that she and her brothers could rise from their desperate, impoverished circumstances. However, Reyna constantly frustrated me. If Beckham tells her it’s vital to obey certain orders, she agrees and then promptly disregards him. She can’t keep her mouth shut to save her life, and she seems to have little regard for her safety.
Despite the impression the cover may give, this book is scarce on the sexy times. Instead, the main focus is on character development and Reyna’s growing affection for Beckham. Since this is the first book in a trilogy, I think it’s a wise move on the author’s part. You don’t want to give away too much too soon. There’s plenty of time for intimacy.
I do have some concerns. I finished the book still not being 100% clear on why Beckham refuses to feed off Reyna. I think I must be missing something. The writing style didn’t always work for me. I found some of the dialog to be stilted and forced, and certain plot developments seem rather abrupt so they don't always ring true. Nonetheless, the story captured my attention and sparked my imagination so I count it as a win.
Blood Type ends on a cliffhanger. I only wish I could immediately dive into the next book but, alas, I’ll be forced to wait.

After Motion left me hanging, I could not wait to get my hands on Space! The story picks up over two years later, and my how Abram and Mona have changed.
Space is decidedly less whimsical than the previous book. It makes sense given that both Mona and Abram are nurturing broken hearts, but did Penny Reid have to crush my heart in the process? She’s such a talented devil. I may be sending her my doctor’s bill because the level of stress I experienced can’t be healthy.
Abram is more hardened and the source of a lot of the tension. On the one hand, I had such compassion for him and wanted to give him a good cuddle; on the other hand, I wanted to smack him at times. Mona’s awkwardness is on full display, and I couldn’t love or empathize with her more. She is selfless to a fault.
The lovely setting and an enjoyable cast of supporting characters provide some welcomed levity when needed. Kaitlyn from Laws of Attraction is featured prominently, and I realized just how much I missed her and her love of synonyms. You don’t need to have read the Laws of Attraction series to enjoy this book, but I highly recommend you do at some point. It’s SO very good!
The attraction between Mona and Abram is still palpable and continues to be set to a low simmer. I’m a lover of a good slow burn romance, but I’m more than ready for it boil over! I’m really looking forward to the conclusion of this wonderful series.

Mona is a delight. An introverted and socially awkward genius with a strong moral compass, she uses hilarious techniques for coping with uncomfortable situations. I love how her mind works. Mona is book smart, but people confuse her; therefore, her decision-making skills get clouded when she is forced to interact with others.
Abram is a puzzle that I can’t wait to solve. He is completely opposite from Mona with her driven nature and orderly sensibilities. Judging from appearances, Abram is a hot—albeit messy—slacker, even though he is supposedly a talented musician. He is thoughtful but not deep, and he seems drawn to Mona and her eccentricities.
Penny Reid continues to up her “smart romance� game with this New Adult gem. It’s engrossing and funny, with the benefit of a suspenseful mystery added in. I have a feeling this romance is of the Crock Pot simmering variety, which is just fine with me.
Motion ends on a cliffhanger—why?!?!—and I’ll be first in line to get my grabby little hands on Space.
