Review: Towerwood by Kate Callaghan

Towerwood by Kate Callaghan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

I so wish there was more to this story!  Zel was treated like crap by so many people.  She was trying to save her mother and she was treated like vermin by the end of this story.  I especially wish she would have made different choices at the end because her family needed to feel responsible for what they did.  Instead, Zel was a better person than I am and decided not to punish them.  Even after all those years...I don't know how she is still an amazing person after what she went through. 

Also?  I wish there was a better ending with her and Prince.  I'm definitely a romantic at heart, so that ending left me feeling hollow a bit haha. 

I'm glad I read this very unique version of this fairytale and I'm looking forward to more by this author!

Review: Prince of Hate by Jagger Cole

Prince of Hate by Jagger Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

Once again, I devoured this Jagger Cole book from start to finish, completely consumed by this world and these characters. And this is the first retelling of his that actually reminded of the true story throughout the novel. Definitely not a bad thing, but just something I noticed. 

Rose is so naive when it comes to her father. That whole situation was frustrating, cause you could just see that she wanted her father's love. She trusted everything he said which was heartbreaking to witness.

Oliver. Oh Oliver. You have been through so much and to see him suffer for multiple reasons was gutwrenching. I'm glad he got Rose in his life when he did cause he needed another reason to keep fighting and she showed up in the nick of time. 

I love the interconnected storyline that Jagger Cole seems to do so effortlessly! Seeing past chargers come back, reading about the confusing connections that have happened in past books was quite remarkable! 

I loved this book so much and I'm already waiting to get my hands on the two paperbacks to add to my ever growing collection! A must read!

Review: Beautifully Scarred by P. Rayne

Beautifully Scarred by P. Rayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

This was an emotional book. Lilah and Jimmy are souls just trying to get to their happily ever afters. Though, I gotta say, Lilah was so hard to like in part one of this book. I was struggling so hard to understand her choices, and I know her past was haunting her, but I just wanted her to want to get help. I wanted her to try for Jimmy. Because Jimmy bent over backwards for Lilah. I just wanted her to do the same for him. 

But part two Lilah? I loved her so much. Seriously, a complete 360 change, all thanks to the new person on her life. To see her fight her way to the life she always wanted was amazing and really emotional, honestly.

I'm so glad I got the chance to read this novel and I'm definitely looking forward to more by this author in the future!

Review: Personal Foul by Maggie Rawdon

Personal Foul by Maggie Rawdon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

I. Love. East. And. Wren.  Seriously, I didn't think I would love their story the most, but boy was I wrong.  I loved their bantering and "fighting" and I loved how well they just clicked with each other.  I love how strong Wren is and how she's single handily taking care of her gramps bar while being a full time student and everything else she has on her plate.  And I love love love East's determination when he finally discovered the amazing of Wren and how much he needs to be around her.  This boy is FOCUSED on her and anything to help her.  I need an Easton to come swoop me off of my feet!

I love how timid East was too.  He really really didn't want to mess up with Wren and what was starting to become a great thing in his relationship.  

I am so glad there wasn't a bout of anger and tantrums and misunderstandings in this novel.  Don't get me wrong, I like the groveling, but this was just a more mature way of starting a relationship and treading water between the characters. 

I honestly have nothing negative to say about this story, which is odd cause one thing or another always gets on my nerves.  I honestly to goodness loved every second of this story and I am obsessed with these two characters.  Maggie Rawdon is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine and I may just have to squeeze her books on my cramped shelves and start my physical book obsession haha.  Can't wait for Ben's story next!

Review: Soulless Saint by Elena Lawson

Soulless Saint by Elena Lawson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

I've been waiting for Becca's book since the previous series, and I was not disappointed. There was so much amazingness that happened and I read this in one sitting. I couldn't get enough of this wild ride!

I love how Becca is sticking it to her dad and she's making her new love work. I love how she basically demanded a job and it actually worked. I also love her roommates to pieces.

The Saint brothers are swoony, as one would expect. I am Team Hardin, though I'm not sure there are teams here honestly. But Hardin is my favorite. Though the man barely talks, but his actions are screening so very loudly. I'm sure Kaleb will grow on me more, especially the longer he's around Becca because he's more focused when she's around.

I'm so glad I got the chance to read this novel and I'm very excited to see what happens next after that ending in this book. So many twists and turns are about to go down I feel!

Review: Madison Avenue Mediator by Nicole Sanchez

Madison Avenue Mediator by Nicole Sanchez
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

Wow. By far my favorite novel from Nicole Sanchez so far! I absolutely loved this story and these characters. Ainsley is an amazing, string female character who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to tell everyone what that is. 

I love the unusual way she and Ken met. But what I REALLY love is the instant connection they had with each other. Sanchez wrote this impeccably, to the point I could feel every zing and emotion they felt throughout their encounters. Their attraction was off the charts and I loved every second of it. 

The only thing that was a bit aggravating was their lack of communication. For being a mediator, Ainsley did a poor job expressing herself with words and having must have conversations right away. 

I loved this story so much and I'm so glad I got the chance to read this book! As always, I'm looking forward to more by this author!

Review: All It Takes by J.H. Croix

All It Takes by J.H. Croix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

I loved this storyline and how Wes and Tiffany joined forces to help Ross. They were put in a situation that steamed from a terrible accident, but they knew Ross needed them and they were willing to do anything to help him. 

I did think Tiffany's CONTINUED hesitation about being with Wes was a bit much. We can all see Wes is an amazing guy, and I get she had trust issues, but with everyone cheering them on, I just wanted her to take a leap of faith. 

I love this series and this little community J.H. Croix had created and I always look forward to each characters story!
