Review: Promises and Pomegranates by Sav R Miller

Promises and Pomegranates by Sav R. Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kallum and Elana's story was full of twists and turns and revenge and realizations. I honestly mainly read this to get to know these two in preparation for their sons novel in the new spin off series. Which will really help to be honest cause these two are wild! 

But also? Elena's parents are awful, despicable people. And I want the stories for both characters siblings!

Glas I read this! Will probably try to read the whole series as long as i can focus on them.

Review: Sweet Sin by Sav R Miller

Sweet Sin by Sav R. Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm glad this was mentioned at the beginning of Promises and Pomegranates because I immediately got it to get introduced to Elena and Kallum properly. The intensity between them is insane and once they let all hesitations aside, the connection between them was off the charts. I'm excited to read their story after this intro!

Review: Viciously Yours by Jamie Applegate Hunter

Viciously Yours by Jamie Applegate Hunter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rennick and Amelia's love story is quick and fun to read! I honestly started and finished it in basically one sitting. I loved all the aspects of this book and it definitely focuses solely on these two characters and secondary (very little) on the setting and plot of the story. 

The letters Rennick wrote to Amelia for 12 years? They seriously had me laughing out loud multiple times. You can feel the awkwardness every moment with 100+ letters. And Amelia's responses to them? Equally had me laughing out loud. Ora is a jerk and Amelia knew that right away based on the awful gifts she got. 

But I gotta say, I ADORED Rennick for doing the letters and gifts. What man nowadays does that sweet moment for a woman he hasn't met yet, but knows he wants to be with her? Not many in my experience. 

If you are looking for a book full of fantasy and world building and epic things...this isn't it, BUT if you are looking for a book where they characters are devoted to each other without even have met, then once they do meet, it gets even more intense? This book is definitely for you!

I initially read this because a book box is doing a SE of it... depending on how it looks, I may need to purchase just to have a pretty version on my shelf and have a book solely dedicated to two characters obsessed with each other!

Review: Ruining Hattie by P Rayne

Ruining Hattie by P. Rayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

I always devour a P Rayne novel and Hattie & Bastion's was no exception! I love how completely opposite these two are from each other. I always day that, but in this case they barely have one thing in common. 

Hattie is so sheltered and pure and sweet. Im not sure how she's gone this long without getting tempted to do something bad, but here she is. I'm actually glad Bastion came into her life, evil revenge and all, to show her that not all things are considered evil like she believes.

Bastion had a really awful childhood. Seriously, I can't imagine having to make that choice at 11 years old and how terrified he had to have been. I'm glad he's found his niche as an adult but he definitely has held on to that anger for decades, not that I blame him. 

I loved the moments with Bastions sister that brought back old characters from prior series. And even the Mafia Academy series too! So fun! 

Glad we got another P Rayne novel and can't wait for the next masterpiece!

Review: Rebel by Rebecca Yarros

Rebel by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh Penelope and Cruz. Not gonna lie, i think this was my favorite of the bunch! 

Penna is full of so many emotions, but she's always been one tough chick this whole series and that didn't change in her story. Sure she was off balance and had a lot of inner turmoil to deal with, but what she's been through? She deserves to find out what she wants in life without all the questions surrounding her. I'm glad she has that discussion with Brooke. She needed to come to that realization and understand that even if Brooke is her best friend, if Brooke can't accept her life than she may not be allowed in Penna's life. 

Cruz is awesome. Taking crazy risks with a woman he just met but already saw her soul and that she needed this? Amazing. Seeing how much he would go to save his sister? I have no word for how much I love this man. He is exactly who Penelope needed to be her other half and every chapter showed just how fantastic he is as a person. 

So glad i got the chance to read this series finally! A bit sad I'm caught up with all of Rebecca Yarros's books but I loved them all so much!

Review: Nova by Rebecca Yarros

Nova by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Landon and Rachel's story is about secrets and second chances, which I have a history of not liking too much honestly. The back story between these two is just crazy, but once we find out the whole story that includes her fathers involvement? So many things wrong with the men in her life making decisions for her without her input.

I honestly would have banned both of them out of my lives. I can't stand people making decisions for me because they think it's the best choice. Treating me like a child is a giant pet peeve of mine. 

And then the secrets Rachel discovers about her birth mother?! It was just one punch after another for poor Rachel.

I loved that Rachel was right there with Landon for the extreme stunts and held up her own against him and others. Also Landon? He may have made poor decisions in his past but this newer version proving to show his love for Rachel was the best. I seriously don't think I've seen a man work so hard to prove he's in it for the long haul. 

I'm sill loving the school on a ship aspect! Such a neat idea! Excited to read Penna's story now!

Review: Wilder by Rebecca Yarros

Wilder by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Paxton and Leah are polar opposites from each other, and that made their story extremely consumable. I loved how much of a daredevil Paxton is and such an adrenaline junkie. Leah is extremely timid after her accident (which I would be too) but you can tell she wants to get over the fear and flashbacks she has and is going out of her comfort zone. 

Pax is a perfect person to gently help her do that. He pushes her, but not so far that she completely hides away from the world. Instead, he talks her into it because deep down she really wants to do it. 

I love the idea of literally having classes and rooming on a cruise ship for an entire school year. Would I do? Nope, I can't swim and I'd honestly have a panic attack I'm sure, but the idea of it is fascinating to me. Some of the tricks Pax and the Renegades did on the ship? Not so believable, but it shows how filthy rich Pax is, haha. 

The person responsible for all the sabotage of the tricks? Definitely didn't see that coming, so Rebecca definitely surprised me there. And I love the leadup for book 2 and that we already have a good deal of their backstory. 

As always, I have once again consumed another Rebecca Yarros book and have been left wanting more. Very glad I have the next two books in the series and I'm glad I finally got this book to read!
