Review: Always You by Samantha Young

Always You by Samantha Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

Samantha Young is one of my auto buy authors, and I am so excited this book is finally out! We've seen Arro and Mac interact throughout the first two books, so to finally see them get past all of the issues that were stopping them was so satisfying! 

This is actually a slow burn, which at first I was put off by, but I'm actually really glad that the author wrote it this way.  We really get to see how Arro and Mac are working through their personal issues in order to really live their futures how they want it. And we get a lot more info on both of their personal pasts too.

I also really enjoyed seeing Arran, one of the elusive brothers, around and I have a feeling if he gets his own book, there is going to be a lot to unpack in his story! 

I'm so glad I got the chance to read this novel and I cannot wait for more by this fantastic author!

Review: Forestfall by Lyndall Clipstone

Forestfall by Lyndall Clipstone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from Edelweiss. This is my honest review. 

I'm so glad I was able to dive right into this book after reading book 1. Let is such a string character, always thinking of a better solution when presented with a problem. 

Rowan in this book showed how determined he can get. I guess he showed that in book 1, but it was amplified now in this novel. 

I didn't really connect as well with this book because Leta and Rowan weren't together for a lot of it. And I wasn't really able to picture the setting where Leta was as well as Rowans mansion, so that added to the disconnect I think.

I really enjoyed this storyline and I'm glad I got the chance to read this story!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from Edelweiss. This is my honest review. 

This story is so unique - it was refreshing to get a strong storyline that isn't a repetition of other things I've read. And mind you, this is unique to me - others may have read similar. But I enjoyed this story! I instantly got sucked into this book from page one and devoured it, wanting to know what else happened next. 

Leta is such a strong female character. She is devouted to her family and she will do anything to protect them. She risks herself over and over again, and I adore her so much. She is also learning more and more about herself too. 

I love Rowan. He is 100% a tortured soul and really does not know how to deal with Leta's take charge attitude. He is also a very strong person who is just trying to live one day at a time. All of these characters are survivors! 

I'm very glad I waited to read this book until I have the sequel in my hands, because I am now diving into it to see what happens next! I'm really glad I decided to try this book as I am really liking everything about it :)

Review: Nox Wolf by G. Bailey

Nox Wolf by G. Bailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author.  This is my honest review. 

I absolutely love this series!!  I adore everything I've read by G. Bailey, but this series knocks it out of the park for me!  Nyx is so strong, and she is trying so hard to learn this new world and be able to use her unusual magic.  She has a great group of friends, and her and Atlas are off the charts!  She has to watch her back at all times the more she learns about herself and she is a true fighter. 

I seriously love Atlas.  I know he did wrong in the first book, but he certainly made up for his mistakes in this novel.  

I am dying for the 3rd book to be here already after that cliffhanger we were given.  I know it will be fantastic, so I will patiently wait until May, but I can't get enough of this storyline and these characters!  So glad I got the chance to read this and looking forward to more!!

Review: The Law of Stars and Sultans by S. Young (Samantha Young)

The Law of Stars and Sultans by Samantha Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author.  This is my honest review. 

I adored this series!!  I love Ari and Jai so much and they grew so much from book 1  until the end.  Ari became so confident in herself and she really stepped up to her lineage.  Seeing her take charge and come up with plans was fantastic.  Seeing her sacrifice herself was heartbreaking.  This book was definitely a roller coaster of emotions for me and just when I thought things would get "normal", another twist came rolling through!

I loved how everything turned out in the end, even if it was a bit turmoil.  I love all of the side characters, and how they had important roles in this storyline. 

My second favorite thing (besides the actual story and characters) was the sneak peak with Fallon and her forever love interest!  I would seriously love to see just 1 book of when they met and how they ended up together, but knowing Fallon, she made it a challenge for him to get to their happily ever after!  But the sneak peak, extra scene was phenomenal and left me wanting more. 

I am so glad I got the chance to read this series and I know I'll be rereading this, but being able to binge through all 4 will be amazing.  I can't wait for the next great masterpiece by this author!!

Review: Second True Love by Vikki Jay

Second True Love by Vikki Jay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Grey's Promotions. This is my honest review. 

I was very intrigued with Clementine's story when we met her as Rose's roommate, so I was very excited her story was next! I love her drive, her passion to live her life. Even though she was not quite ready to be out on her own, that did not stop her from diving head first into her new adventure and determined to succeed at her dreams.

I'm so glad she had Merida and Keith to help her along the way. And Clem helped the both of them to work the struggles they were going through. It was honestly meant to be, especially with that jaw dropping revelation at the end! 

While Rose will always have a special place in my heart and probably always be my favorite, I definitely have a lot of room for all of Vikki Jay's wonderful characters! I am so glad I discovered this awesome author from the beginning and I cannot wait for the next storyline!
