Review: Her Merciless Protector by R.G. Angel

Her Merciless Protector Her Merciless Protector by R.G. Angel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

I absolutely loved this book! I stumbled upon R.G. Angel not too long ago and now I know I have a new favorite author and will need to read all of her previous books! 

Killian intrigued me in the previous novel so much, so to find out this was his story was fantastic. And the way he instantly reacted toward Iris? So swoon-worthy! I loved seeing him accept Iris for who she is and not trying to change her. Instead, he opened up a part of Iris she didn't even know she had and I adore him for that. He is her number one fan! 

I love Iris. In her most scary moment, I would say, of meeting Killian, she didn't panic, but kept a level, rational mind and made her own decisions. I mean, sure, no matter what decisions she made, it would have resulted the same, but IRIS made the decision and that is the root her her and Killian's relationship. 

I love the whole dynamic of this book, from start to finish, and how unique it is among thousands of other Mafia books out there. I am definitely going to have to obtain a physical copy of this book in the near future! So glad I got the chance to read this and will definitely be recommending it to everyone I know!

Review: A Cruel Arrangement by Tijan

A Cruel Arrangement A Cruel Arrangement by Tijan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

This was an interesting novel. I liked the story overall and I liked the characters, but there were moments that I completely lost interest and the only reason I continued is because I shined until my interest was peaked again. I also felt like I might have needed to read book 1 to really understand the overall Mafia lifestyle and the conflicts they were having. It was a bit glossed over just coming in with no knowledge of what happened before, maybe? 

I liked Molly and her no nonsense way of life. She wasn't scared of Ashton, she hated her father, she loved her bowling alley. Molly was definitely all or nothing kinda girl. 

Ashton - seeing him realize how deep his feelings were for Molly was fantastic. I loved that part so much. 

So yeah I enjoyed this but there are moments I felt a bit lost. Overall I'm glad I got the chance to read it!

Review: Mr. Nanny by Sam Crescent

Mr. Nanny Mr. Nanny by Sam Crescent
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

This was a quick and adorable read. I love the connection between Caleb and Annie and that Caleb knew right away he had feelings for Annie. Guys that know what they want and go for it are amazing. It's such an attractive quality that not a lot of guys have. 

I also love that Annie took in Tara as her own, even with the bad history with Tara's parents. That definitely shows how good Annie is with a pure heart. 

I'm glad I got the chance to read this novel!

Review: Cruel Mate by Sam Crescent

Cruel Mate Cruel Mate by Sam Crescent
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

This was a quick read that kept my attention throughout the whole story. I really felt for Ashley, getting rejected the second she discovered her mate. And really thought she should have made Phoenix grovel a bit more after all those years thinking horrible things about herself. 

Then again I would have made my own life in an undisclosed location to not have to see him again, so I think I hold grudges a lot more than most do lol.

I'm glad I got the chance to read this story.

Review: Fractured Souls by Neva Altaj

Fractured Souls Fractured Souls by Neva Altaj
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

I honestly devoured this novel in practically one sitting. The connection between Pavel and Asya was instant and healing for both characters. What Asya went through was horrible and traumatic. And her healing process took time and patience that Pavel had in spades. To see them both grow more into themselves was uplifting.

I always enjoy visiting this world and one day I'll be rereading all of them to enjoy everyone's story back to back again. So glad I got the chance to read this and, as always, looking forward to the next novel by this author!

Review: Blade and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody

Blade and Crystal Thorns Blade and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

Oh Chloe. She has been putting forth all of her efforts to save the land of the fae, and she may have went a bit too far this time. I get doing things in the heat of the moment, but she let her emotions get the best of her without thinking about consequences that could happen. 

This book takes us on all sorts of crazy adventures and I was along for all of them! I loved seeing Shadow and everyone else again. I loved the mysteries and adventures. There was a ton of drama. Not as much romance because of said drama. I'll be curious how that gets fixed by the end of the series. 

I'm very intrigued on what book 4 will reveal and if my suspicions are correct or not. I'll have to write down my thoughts so I can remember who I'm suspecting lol.

Review: Dark Harmony by Laura Thalassa

Dark Harmony Dark Harmony by Laura Thalassa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

I think Laura Thalassa and I are going to be two peas in a pod when it comes to me loving her books. I couldn't get enough of this series and these characters. The way Thalassa sucked me into this involved storyline was great and now I'm sad it's all over. 

Callie is amazing. Hands down, her character development is one of the best I've read. Seeing her really, truly, love herself for who and what she is, that was magnificent. If that alone was the entire storyline I would have still been thrilled with this series, because that is something we should celebrate every day. 

Des is wonderful in his conniving mind but also his absolute adoration for Callie. I need a man to treat me like he treats her. Every person needs that in their life. 

I'm so glad I finally dived into this series and finally got a taste of Thalassa's work. I'm definitely going to be diving into her other novels in my near future and I'm sure I will love them all.
