I'm more familiar with Ms Grant's works via her highly successful Dark World series, I'm not much of a western/cowboy romance genre reader but I found myself truly invested in this book.
I shall not rehash the blurb as you can read them for yourself, this book has everything to keep reader satisfied. An intriguing storyline, a charismatic handsome Hero, a heroine who (thank goodness) is strong and determined and enough hot chemistry to burn through the book.
Even if you're not a reader of cowboy/western, I still highly recommend you check this book out. With its compelling storyline and engaging dialogue, you will not be bored. Thanks to NetGalley for the copy of this book, do note that the opinions above are all of my own....more

This is the 6th book in Milly Taiden's The Crystal Kingdom series. Some books in this series are a hit and miss for me, I'm a little unsure with WarriThis is the 6th book in Milly Taiden's The Crystal Kingdom series. Some books in this series are a hit and miss for me, I'm a little unsure with Warrior King. Although I was entertained, I really couldn't care less about Lilah. I find it a little difficult to warm up to her, perhaps it is because I found her to be whiny in the beginning. I did warm up to her when I read why she got that way but still first impression counts as they say. I do like Ferrus and chemistry with Lilah is explosive.
As much as I like to say that this is a stand-alone, I feel that the reader will get the entire experience of the world building if this series is read in order. This book is free to read on KU....more

The story in itself was fast paced, it wasn't boring and I really like the two MCs. Brynne Asher managed to filled this short story with action, sexy times and engaging interaction between the characters.
For me, what made this book all the more enjoyable to listen to was the 2 narrators Virginia Rose and Aaron Shedlock. With their talented voice acting, I felt the book just breezed by. I thoroughly enjoyed Virginia Rose sweet southern drawl and of course Aaron's voice is very masculine and sexy indeed.

Xavier is Book 14 in D.B Reynolds Vampires in America. I've read the earlier books and I enjoyed them tremendously, so when I received the ARC from NeXavier is Book 14 in D.B Reynolds Vampires in America. I've read the earlier books and I enjoyed them tremendously, so when I received the ARC from NetGalley, I was very much looking forward to read this.
Unfortunately, I don't think this book is as good as the earlier ones. I did enjoy reading it but I just don't feel as invested. I think the relationship between Xavier and Layla was too simplified, if I can use that term. I feel that Layla's issue of how she felt Xavier treated her when she was younger was just glossed over. It felt just swept under the carpet.
Having written all the above, I still am looking forward to the next book in this series. Thanks NetGalley for the copy....more

I've enjoyed this series and personally I find that The Guardian is one of my favourite. From the get go, this book doesn't let up. It is filled with action, danger and really sexy moments. I've always been intrigued by Maks Petrov and was so happy Ms Grant wrote such a kickass book and pairing him with an equally kickass heroine.
You can read this book on its own but to fully experience The Guardian, it is best to read the books in order. Congratulations to Ms Grant for another successful book and for bringing this series to a satisfying end....more

McDermid is a strong writer with vivid complexities that readers have come to appreciate when reading her books.

This is indeed another strong addition to this successful series....more
Hope's Delta is the last book in this series set within Susan Stoker's Operation Alpha world. Once again Riley Edwards didn't hold any punches with fiHope's Delta is the last book in this series set within Susan Stoker's Operation Alpha world. Once again Riley Edwards didn't hold any punches with finally giving us the story of Hope and Beau "Jangles".
These 2 had a "friends for benefit" relationship, for awhile Beau was satisfied with this arrangement but overtime, he has fallen for Hope and he wanted more. However Hope's felt that she doesn't deserved an HEA, not with what happened in the past. Burdened and riddled with guilt, Hope felt that happiness is not guaranteed ending for her.
Hope's Delta is filled with angst, heartbroken revelations, and sexy heated moments. It is a must read for Riley Edwards and Susan Stoker fans.
Burning Ash is Book 3 in N.J Walter's Forgotten Brotherhood series. This book was a funny, with quite solid world building and likeable MCs. I've beenBurning Ash is Book 3 in N.J Walter's Forgotten Brotherhood series. This book was a funny, with quite solid world building and likeable MCs. I've been reading this series from Book 1 and I have to say that Burning Ash has more humour compared to the previous books. I think this is mainly due to the de facto leader of this Forgotten Brotherhood Macchus (Book 1) who made cameos with his better half Morrigan. Their interactions are just too funny and it provided the comedic slant. Although I really enjoyed this book, I don't really like the cover. Hopefully the next book cover will be an improvement.
Thanks to NetGalley for the copy, the views above are all my own....more

As usual Cara Carnes did not disappoint, this book is intense and I couldn't put it down.
I enjoyed the interactions between Milo and Victoria, what was supposed to be a one night thing turned out to be so much more. Their connection sizzled, what a chemistry and their personality suit each other.
I highly recommend picking up this book, you will not regret it....more
I devoured this book in one sitting. I just couldn't make myself put this book down. Just when I thought the last book by Riley Edwards was my favouriI devoured this book in one sitting. I just couldn't make myself put this book down. Just when I thought the last book by Riley Edwards was my favourite, Ms Edwards dropped the beauty that is Damaged on my lap.
This first book from the Triple Canopy series follows Hadley and Brady, for long timed fans of Ms Edwards, Hadley is the twin daughter of Jasper and Emily from "Freeing Jasper" (707 series). I know this books is about Hadley and Brady but Jasper ... oh my heart, Jasper stole my heart again like he did when I first read his book. He's such a good father, he's strong and super protective. When he loved, he loved wholeheartedly and unreservedly, there was a particular scene with Brady that made me bawled .... waterworks galore!
My love for Jasper doesn't distract me from our MCs and Hadley is a Walker through and through. I love that Ms Edwards made her strong and yet soft when she needs to be. She wants Brady,set her eyes on him and when she couldn't wait any longer she made her moves on him. When he fucked up big, sure she was hurt but she didn't drag it out. Like her father, she loved unreservedly too.
Brady is the quintessential damaged Hero. His backstory is truly heartbreaking, it broke him and it made him feel that he doesn't deserve a good woman like Hadley. He doesn't want to drag her, doesn't want to spoil her beauty with his ugly past. He was so entrenched in his past that he almost destroy all hopes to be with Hadley. It took the love of a strong woman like Hadley to Brady back into the light.
Their story was a beautiful to read and I highly recommend this book....more

I enjoyed this series and all the books, especially this last one. There are plenty of action and sexy times to keep the reader interested.

Hostile Ground is Book 7 in The Arsenal series by kick@$$ author Cara Carnes. I have been waiting for Kristof story with baited breath and of course MHostile Ground is Book 7 in The Arsenal series by kick@$$ author Cara Carnes. I have been waiting for Kristof story with baited breath and of course Ms Carnes didn't disappoint me. This was such an emotional ride with the low so low that I had to take a breather.
Both of our MC's (Kristof and Addy) shared a heartbreaking and complicated background. I will not get much into it as I don't want to spoil you in case you're reading this review. Suffice to say you will finally understand why Kristof is the way he is and why Addy has an immensed reaction to him. Ms Carnes writes compelling and strong FMC and this shows with her characterization of Addy Rugers, infact I think Addy might just be one of the strongest female protagonist that Ms Carnes has ever written.
The Arsenal series are so layered and yes, one can get a bit lost in it but I have to say I enjoyed the world that Ms Carnes build. I'm looking forward to dive more.
Thank you for the copy of this book, the views above are all of my own....more

I was hesitant to request for this audiobook because I had quite a horrible experience trying to download using the Netgalley app. My first try, once again it hung at 8% and refused to budge. I almost gave up but gave it one last try the next day. Finally downloading was quite a breeze *phew*
I enjoyed the 2 narrators, Anneliese Rennie and Austin Barringer did a great job, it was really well done. I do believed that this was my first time listening to Austin Barringer and I'm sure it wouldn't be my last.
Storywise, as always I truly enjoyed Freya Barker books and it is quite rare for me to be disappointed. Ms Barker is really good at writing characters, although this time I struggle a wee bit with our FMC Leeloo, at times I find her a bit of a bitch and grating but not so much that I want to strangle her. As for Roar, can I keep him? I think I should keep him, he's just so delicious!
I look forward to reading more books from this series. I received and audible arc from NetGalley but the views above are all my own. Thank you!...more

A Change In Tide is a standalone contemporary romance by Freya Barker. I read this in the form of audiobook courtesy from NetGalley, using their new NA Change In Tide is a standalone contemporary romance by Freya Barker. I read this in the form of audiobook courtesy from NetGalley, using their new NetGalley Shelf app.
I have no issues with the storyline, I quite enjoyed it. This is a solid story with pretty decent fleshed out characters, steamy sexy moments and good pacing. My huge issue is however with the NetGalley app itself. While I have no problems downloading e-books, I have a lot of difficulty downloading the audiobook. It took me 3 times to download the audiobook successfully and even then, it took me 2hours and 45minutes to do so! When it comes to reading the book, it skipped pages! If I were to pause a page, it didn't continue on the same page. The app is still a mess and hopefully NetGalley will do something about it....more

I knew the pairing of Autumn and Declan will break me, the coming together of 2 broken people. At the end of this book, I was a blubbering mess but I was very satisfied at how Ms Edwards closed the chapter of this awesome series.
Autumn and Declan, both broken and facing their own nightmare. Both didn't think they have it in them to love and heal, their journey is filled with all the pain, all the emotions and when you feel these 2 people cannot possibly take anymore, Ms Edwards began healing them and thus healing us, her readers.
Pick up this series, not just this book but the entire series. You can never go wrong with Riley Edwards, so far she has yet to disappoint me....more
