Worlds Collide has a great concept, pretty interesting characters and a bit of culture shock with the cultural, political and physical differences. I Worlds Collide has a great concept, pretty interesting characters and a bit of culture shock with the cultural, political and physical differences. I did enjoy the barriers that provides to the Jape’s and Velia’s story.
Velia is an engineer working for a secret government organization in a secret facility. She is a brand spanking new employee and on one of initial days she is taken hostage by a hostile alien, Risnar, thinking earthlings are teaming up with their enemy, Monsuda, to invade and enslave his race. Truth is, Earthlings are actually working with the Monsuda, but they don’t realize that they are targets as well.
Worlds Collide was a light and mostly fun read. There was good world building but not a lot of character connection. I just couldn’t justify the character’s reactions as being rational. Jape is out for some payback but invites Velia into his home. While Velia is not really taking her situation very seriously, kind of jovial when it is uncalled for.
In the end, it was an okay read for me. Not really my cup of tea.

Trevor is a swoon wortBy far this is my favorite book in this series and I've really enjoyed the rest. I flat out loved Trevor's and Natalie's story. Trevor is a swoon worthy with Natalie, her son and the rest of the Haven crew making it the perfect icing to an already delicious cake. I couldn't help myself, I just gobbled it up.
There are only a few brothers left and I can't wait for each and every one of their stories, My hope, Morgan adds those prospective brothers that are in the works so we get more of this Haven Brotherhood family.

Evony is a strong female warrior with mad archery skills. She finds herself thrust into a contest to become the bride of the Emperor. Evony has absolutely no interest in becoming the Emperor’s chosen bride but it is almost immediately apparent that she is going to make her mark on the competition just by being herself.
Evony requests the right to keep her fighting skills up and begins to train with the men, quickly earning their respect and admiration. Galen keeps his true identity from Evony while he trains beside her.
Betrayal makes it certain that Evony will need to use her skills to defend Galen and his people.
I loved Evony, I wasn’t a big fan of Galen. That being said, I still really enjoyed this story.
Smith pens a tale that hauls the reader right in and keeps you invested till the end.
Kudos on this debut, The Emperor’s Arrow will keep me coming back for more.

Chase is a Cassie is hiding out after she was beaten nearly to death by her ex-husband…who just happened to escape from custody and never was charged.
Chase is a man who stands away from commitment because his ex left him.
There is strong chemistry in a small town setting and family relations.
Entertaining, flirty and fun but still manages deep subject matter creating lots of emotional scarring and room for amazing character growth.
