Review: Frigid by J. Lynn (Jennifer L. Armentrout)

Frigid by J. Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I desperately needed a JLA reread and Frigid was the first book to pop in my head.  I'm so glad I reread this again and was with Kyler and Sydney.  Just something about this book and this setting really fills a hole inside of me!  

I don't normally like friends to lovers because of the angst and the "I can't ruin my friendship" mindset, which these two have in spades, but thankfully this book doesn't focus on TOO much.  And I love that Sydney decided to make the first move and tell Kyler how she felt, even though she messed it up quite a bit and got Kyler mad. 

I also love the mystery aspect of this book.  I almost forgot about that part to be honest, though once it happened it all came rushing back to me. 

For any JLA fan out there that hasn't picked up this book, you definitely need to!  Along with every other single book she has written!

Review: The Hotel Manager by C. Hallman

The Hotel Manager by C. Hallman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great story!  I was immediately ensnared by the story line and read it so quickly to see how things progressed with Mason and Teagan, negate those two are as opposite as you can find.  I thought Teagan was a bit odd at times though.  One minute she's about to throw up and the next she's a flirty vixen.  It was a bit hard to keep up on her personality. 

But I enjoyed grumpy Mason.  He really tried to keep away from Teagan's interesting personality, but he failed miserably.  And seeing him almost scared to leave the hotel was surprising to me. 

I'm glad I dived into this book! I might see about the rest of the series and what the next over arching mystery will bring.

Review: His Burning Desire by Valerie Twombly

His Burning Desire by Valerie Twombly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the idea of dragons as firefighters!!  Even though these dragon don't breathe fire, I just love this idea and when I dived into book 1, I instantly loved the characters and the premise of the story.  I think the only thing I would love more is if the book was longer so we could get more time with Connor and Jenna, because the intensity between these two was off the charts!

I'm glad they finally told each other how they feel toward one another - after 300 years!!  Yeesh, talk about a slow burn romance, huh?  

I'm excited to read the rest of the series and see which other dragons will find their mates - so glad I discovered this author and will get to meet her in July!

Review: Daughter of Dragons by A.J. Flowers

Daughter of Dragons by A.J. Flowers
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Dragons are my favorite right now so I was so excited to dive into this book.  But I found I had a hard time keeping up with the story.  There were chapters I had no idea what was going on and I felt a bit lost.  Maybe because it was through Lily's point of view and everyone was deceiving her and keeping her in the dark?  I think I liked James the most but again he was keeping so much under his sleeve that I'm not sure if I liked him. 

So sad to say this book wasn't for me.  And as much as I want to read the next part, it's done in episodes and isn't finished yet?  That just annoys me and makes me think the author is out for extra money.  I'm sure there are tons of readers out there that like that system, but it's just not for me.

Review: Double Pucked by Lauren Blakely

Double Pucked by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I haven't read a hockey book in awhile and it's been even longer since I read a MFM novel.  And I liked seeing Trina become more confident in herself through this book, though I don't believe she needed Chase or Ryker to get there.  Though Trina was a bit all over the place, demanding things one second and being shy the next. It was always a toss up which Trina we were doing to get. 

I liked that Chase was a dog person and loved Nacho.  But he was a bit much to keep up with honestly.  And even though Ryker was moody and grumpy, he was my favorite.  I loved that he went to the bookstore and library. 

So this was an okay novel for me. It was a quick read and a HEA.

Review: Cowboy Seeking Nanny by Janice M. Whiteaker

Cowboy Seeking Nanny by Janice M. Whiteaker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great nanny, single parent story. I love how determined Clara is to give Wyatt a better life than with his POS father. And he's such an amazing kid, Clara raised him so well.

Brody. I loved watching him fall first. Once he made up his mind that he wanted Clara there really wasn't a fighting chance for that girl. But he knew the pace he needed to take in order to not scare her off. And also seeing him with his two girls is adorable, but seeing him with Wyatt was so sweet.

This was a great story that I devoured and I'm glad I grabbed it randomly on sale!

Review: My Way To You by J. Glassburn

My Way To You by J. Glassburn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a recommendation from a friend who knows the author and I was a bit scared I wasnt going to enjoy this book. For a disclaimer to readers, this book deals heavily with cheating. This subject is a bit triggering to me so in case other readers are like that, I wanted to put it out there. 

Because of the way this book ended, I was able to look back on the events of this book with a higher standard. I'm glad Abby had the self respect to put her own needs first. I did the same in my situation and am a much better person for it. It takes so much strength to make that choice and I feel like we know what we are worth after everything is said and done. 

Sawyer is a great character and I'm glad he was there to help Abby through her ordeal. He helped make her love herself again and that is no easy feat after you've been through that trauma. I didn't like seeing him get heartbroken but he's an amazing person. 

I'm really glad I enjoyed this book and that I was able to read it. It means I'm in the road to healing and moving on from my past traumas. It also made me reflect on my experience and all of the accomplishments I've done in less than a year. It also shows that things will get better in time.
