Review: Empire of Hate by Rina Kent

Empire of Hate by Rina Kent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

This book is a rollercoaster ride. Both Daniel and Nicole are characters with a dark past and many secrets that built up. 

Obviously I didn't like Nicole in the past books, because, well, we aren't supposed to. And even with the flashbacks, past Nicole is not an easy person to like but we get so much information from her. Present Nicole, though? I really like her. 

Daniel also has his own issues and for some,  he's just too stubborn to hear people out. I'm glad he is surrounded by people who make him listen after awhile. 

Also, I'm glad I read this book before seeing all the reviews others have given it... I get where people are coming from, but y'all need to read this before jumping to conclusions... 

But that's besides the point. I read it and I enjoyed the story, and I'm glad I was given this chance to read it. I'm looking forward to more by this author!

Review: The Kiss List by Maya Hughes

The Kiss List by Maya Hughes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

It's so wonderful to be back into this fantastic world that Maya Hughes has created. I love how dedicated Kennedy is and how much she loves her sister. She is also determined to get what she wants, no matter what, even if she has to team up with her enemy. 

Cole has not had things easy lately and having to deal with that terrible Coach is just the icing on the cake. Seriously, I really want a bad outcome for that coach because he is a terrible human being. 

Seeing Cole and Kennedy connect and get past their hiccup that caused everything to go sideways was really great. I also loved so of the side characters as well. 

I'm so glad I got the chance to read this story and I cannot wait for the next story to come!

Review: My Heart to Keep by Iris Morland

My Heart to Keep by Iris Morland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

This was a great story. I loved the tension between Jocelyn and Luke, and seeing them go from enemies to lovers was great. I can definitely relate to Jocelyn, being an older sibling myself, and seeing her finally realize that the past needs to be let go and she needs to move forward with her life with no regrets or stress, to a certain point. 

I'm glad I got the chance to read this book and I'm very intrigued about Alex's mystery man!

Review: Broken God by Jagger Cole

Broken God by Jagger Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

It's official: Jagger Cole has become one of my favorite authors.  This book is amazing!  I've been saying that about each book Jagger writes, thinking there's NO way the next book can top my love of said previous book, and EACH TIME I fall in love with the characters even more than the last.  And I've read every book he's wrote, so I know haha. 

Konstantin.  Didn't think I was going to like him, after the first 4 books in the series - you always have to have a bad guy right?  Then again, he may still be the bad guy since this is a DUET and I have to wait!!  But, perhaps, I may have fallen for him even more so?!  There is so much to unravel with him that I'm smitten, but still leery of his intentions by the end of this book, so I'm really really wishing I had the next book to dive into to see what the heck he has to say to redeem himself!

And Mara.  Sweet Mara.  Being in a coma for 4 years and coming out of that has to be hard, but she is 100% a fighter.  Going into college, after basically no high school - you have to be smart for that and she is also determined to succeed no matter what.  But she also wants to live her life and experience everything she's missed.  Lizbeth is a swarming, smothering mother, but the love you can feel between those two is amazing. 

The tension between Mara and Konstantin?!  Like, my goodness, this book is intense, spicy, steamy, just everything.  I loved every second of it and I'm honestly really grateful this is a duet and hopefully we get more of the tension between these two.  Plus the fact that Jagger loves his readers and is only making us wait 2 weeks before the amazing second book is 100% fantastic!

I can't rave enough about this series, about this AUTHOR and I need more people to read his books because they are just amazing!  I'm so glad I stumbled upon his novels and now I'm collecting all of the books!  Go read this - ASAP!

Review: Loving Rose by Vikki Jay

Loving Rose by Vikki Jay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

I can't believe Rose and Zander's story is over now. I loved everything about their story and their journey to find each other. There were so many great twists and turns that happened. I was grinning from ear to ear because reading their story just made me feel amazing by the end. These characters are amazing people and I'm so happy with their happily ever after ending!

I am so happy that I signed up for Vikki Jay's sorry with Beautiful Rose and really can't believe this is her debut series - I really fell for everything in this story. I am now a devoted life long fan haha.

The ending of this book was perfect. I was bursting with happiness, I couldn't contain it all! 

I know this series is going to be a reread for me in the future, because I'm already sad to say goodbye. I definitely recommend this series to everyone and can't wait for the next installment! :)

Review: Queen of Shadow and Ash by S. Young (Samantha Young)

Queen of Shadow and Ash by S. Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

I am so loving this series! Makes me wish I read the originals but I'm so glad that I am experiencing these novels for the first time. 

Ari goes through so much heartbreak by the end of this novel. So much death happens in here it made my head spin! 

The storyline with Ari and Charlie is about to get crazy in book 4, and I'm already dreading it. Ari has been through so much, I don't want her to lose anyone else. 

Jai is just, my all time favorite.  I can't help it. They better be end game - that's all I gotta say about that. 

I also really adore Red and Trey. They just complete the little family I love so much. 

I can't wait for book 4 to see how everything concludes!
