Review: Imperfect Arrangement by Vikki Jay

Imperfect Arrangement by Vikki Jay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

With every new Vikki Jay book, I fall in love with more and more characters. This book though, Quill and Captain Lick are the ones who stole my heart the most! 

Willow and Raymond are complete opposites and are continually battling it out every time they see each other. I honestly love their banter and arguments. And I love that Quill chose Willow to be her person because Willow stands up for what she believes in and doesn't know how to give up. Quill needs that female empowerment in her life. 

I also adore this town that Vikki Jay has created and the amazing people we get to revisit from past novels. There are no words to explain how much I love this small town. 

I'm excited to see what happens next in the next novel and to see one more person find their HEA!

Review: Dance of Ruin by Jagger Cole

Dance of Ruin by Jagger Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

Nico and Naomi's story was extremely intense and a wild ride. These two couldn't be more opposite of each other yet the connection they had was instant. Their first meeting was shocking and immediately showed Naomi who she was dealing with. 

I don't know why Naomi didn't tell Nico was happened to her right away. I would have just blurted it out. But also? I do think she needs to get help and talk to someone about what she went through. I know she hasn't dealt or processed it fully. 

Nico really had no idea how much he was going to get ensnared by Naomi and watching him fall apart with her in his life was the best. 

I'm so glad I got the chance to read this book and I can't wait for the next installment of this series! Jagger always knocks it out of the park with each of his books!

11 years later and I'm still in love with this book. So glad I decided to reread!

Review from August 3, 2014:
So I've read this book a lot. More than any other book I've owned I believe. And I still love it Every. Single. Time. I re-read it this time because the fifth and final book is being released in 2 days and I wanted to spend some one-on-one time with Daemon. And I also really love Katy's love of books. She my soul-sister.

Gah, if you've never read this book, I insist you must. No, really? My all time favorite book and series. I will be spreading this love around to everyone I know, as I have been for the past 2 years.

Review: Bratva Lullaby by Penny Dee

Bratva Lullaby by Penny Dee
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Brooke and Lev had a wild ride in their novel! First off Brooke is too nice of a person. If my ex decided to abandon me multiple times, I never would have saved his sorry ass. I would have told Lev to do what he had to do and leave me out of it. 

But the tension between these two was intense. I get why Brooke was resistant when she discovered Lev's betrayal, but they just connect with each other really well so they were fated to cave into their attraction.

The amount of betrayal that happened in this book is ridiculous and the ending is a cliffhanger, just an FYI. I'm not committed enough to go through more drama to get to the inevitable happily ever after, so i don't care to read the next one. It was a good book and I'm glad I read it.

Review: Wild Runaway by Sadie King

Wild Runaway by Sadie King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a very short and quick read. Trish Amy Joseph's instant connection was refreshing and I love that Joseph was there to help Trish in her desperate time of need. I also love how no nonsense Joseph was about his thoughts towards Trish and Rose and that he was open about his intentions with them. 

Trish is such a strong woman to leave Ian when she did. Women stay through so much worse and Trish was having nothing to do with that lifestyle and I was cheering her on. She was making sure her and Rose were safe and protected and I love that. 

I could have almost had a little bit more to this story because I was really enjoying the characters and the plot. Glad I decided to read it!

Review: Rose in Chains by Julie Soto

Rose in Chains by Julie Soto
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

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

Only after reading other reviews did I realize this is Dramione fan-fic, which I have not read The Auction. So this was all new to me.

Also this review will contain spoilers. Read at your own risk. 

And because it was all new...I wasn't blown away by this story, sadly. The background story felt too loose and missing pieces. The going back in the past felt clunky. And the magic description wasn't the best. I know there are trigger warnings for this book, but about 70% surrounds the topic of sex one way or another, and not in a pleasant way. We see characters traumatized by what they are forced to do and a main female character is basically mad she's not having sex with her master...

I liked Toven. He seemed like a decent person trying to do the right thing in a terrible sitution without getting killed. Was everything he did great? Absolutely not, but he didn't treat Briony like a piece of trash even though he owned her. Was he close minded and shut tight? Definitely yes, but being around Marrow, I would do the same in his shoes. Should he have told Briony more details when it came to her body? Of course, but he didn't. 

Briony was fine too. She was very naive for her age. I'm not sure what her plan was for her future since she was so worried about her brother achieving his mission in life and she didn't think he could cut it. I don't like that her father made her cheat all the way through school to make her brother look better. 

Basically, when I really think about it, I very much disliked how women were treated in this book. Which you would think since Marrow was victorious in the war, she wouldn't allow women to be used like cattle and trash, but she doesn't care about anyone other than herself. 

I finished this book and the epilogue was intriging, but I doubt I will continue the series. It kinda left a bad taste in my mouth on multiple levels. I'm glad I got the chance to read it, but sadly this book just wasn't for me.
