  The gilded cage I grew up in was nothing more than a pretty cell, and now I find myself in another one, torn from the life I built myself by a ghost from my past. Kingston may have held me through the worst moments of my life, but when he steals me away in the dead of night and offers me the life I thought I wanted, I can’t help but think of the men I left behind. But the complicated feelings for four men that hate each other are the least of my worries as our enemies circle. Can they put their differences aside for long enough to escape those that want us dead or will their contempt for one another be our downfall? My Review This second book in this trilogy is great. After the ending of the first book, I was waiting for this book. It picked up pretty much from the first book. Things got more intense. I would say that the first book was the appetizer and this book is the main course.  To see all the guys' love for Chloe showcased made my heart ache. This time around I did no...

  I was a princess with no crown. They were wolves with no one to keep. I wasn't supposed to be theirs. They weren't supposed to be mine. When my parents loaded me into a golden carriage and shipped me to seven unmated alpha wolf shifters like a wrapped gift, I was ready for the worst. Two years of being auctioned off by my own family had taught me everything I needed to know about it's a transaction, and omegas are currency. The Huntsmen Pack wasn't what I prepared for. They gave me a room with a bolt on the door. They fed me and asked nothing in return. They courted me with wildflowers and hand-built furniture and the kind of patience that made me forget I was supposed to be guarding my heart. But the forest has teeth, and not all of them belong to my wolves. Something is hunting me, something that knows the pack's weaknesses better than I do. And the closer I get to my alphas, the more dangerous it becomes for all of us. My Review I love omegaverse stories. You m...

  My Review This story is on the taboo side. If you don't mind sibling romance stories, then, you will like this story. The way that Clara and Silas interacted did not feel forced but actually natural. So, for me I really enjoyed their story.  After what both Clara and Silas endured, I actually was happy to see that both ended up at Meridian. I felt like it was the best place for them both to heal. They trauma bonded and thrived together. By the end of the story, these two were able to get their fresh start. 

  Savannah Evans is on deaths doorstep, clinging to her traumatic past and her self destructive ways. When she meets Tabitha and is offered a stay at the Meridian Rehabilitation Institute, she decides that it's time for her to take back her life. Sam and James don't make recovery easy, they make her work for it every day. Her limits are tested, boundaries are pushed but in her heart, she knows that failure is not an option. When professional boundaries are crossed, and secrets from the past are revealed, all lines are blurred. Can Savannah really let it all go, or will she let herself drown once again? Praise Me is part of the Meridian Institute shared world. My Review I loved this book so much. For me it was not so much about the spice but the human connection. Seeing the caring side that Tabitha exhibited towards Savannah is very endearing. Then there is Sam and James.  OMG. To see James be featured prominently got me very excited. I wanted to know more about him and to see ...
