Book Review: My Favorite Kidnapper

Image
  A laugh out loud, unconventional opposites attract love story from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland I touched her confectionary creation, and she told me off. Slapping my hands and cursing in her own unique fashion. No one talked to me that way. I liked it. I liked her cake even more. So, I took her to Italy to bake for me. I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she’d say no. I brought her cat, though—that should count for something. Now, I just need to convince her to stay. And forget that little word. 𝙆𝙞𝙙𝙣𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙧. I’d prefer lover. But we’ll wait until she doesn’t want to kill me in my sleep. My Review OMG! I absolutely loved this book so much. It was not just a reading experience but a hilarious great time. Brianna is like my spirit animal. I say this because of how hard she tried to never cuss had me laughing. Before I met my husband, I never cussed. So, hearing all the different ways that Brianna tried not to cuss way funny. Also, it was ...

Smith Genre:  Dark Romance, Forced Proximity Release Date: August 29, 2023 Cover Design: Hang Le We met at his ex’s wedding, where she uttered their safe word in her vows. Immediately his jaw clenched, and his hands balled into tight fists. Then moments later, he told her I was with him. When in reality, I had snuck into the wedding.

Book Review: Honeysuckles

Image
  I’m a monster DNA experiment and she’s everything my beasts want. I escape the hell that tortured me for months. I’m turned into something so dangerous and brutal; I don’t recognize myself. And when I feel a pull in my chest, I follow it not understanding why. I see her and possession takes over. Her beauty is addiction. And her smell? God…her scent….mmm… It drives me insane. A thing like me doesn’t stand a chance with a woman like her. I am obsessed. I can’t stay away. I stalk her. I kill for her. I take her. I mark my territory. I protect her from everyone and everything. Except me. She’s mine. Whether she likes it or not. And all my beasts agree. My Review I love this series so, so much. I have been waiting for Creed's story. January delivered in a big way. Ooh, Creed, you have my heart. I felt for him so much that my heart did break and was mended back together again.  Creed may be a monster, but I did not fear him. In fact, I was very intrigued by him. The way that he d...

Book Review: Winter's Eve Then, Now, & Always

Image
  After walking away from everything he loved a decade ago, Winter King no longer recognizes the man he’s become, the man who tried burying the pain of his past underneath a billion dollar smile, women, and work. When an unexpected turn of fate brings him face to face with his ex-fiancée, Eve Valentine, he can’t hide any longer from the woman of his past, the emptiness of his present, and the tenuous hope of his future. Eve Valentine never imagined she’d be forced to face Winter King again, and then her best friend falls in love with his brother. He says it’s kismet, but she feels like it’s pure, unadulterated torture to her still broken heart. The last thing she intends to offer him is forgiveness. Making a promise to move on, Eve tries, but when everything she’s worked for is jeopardized, the man who used to be her King is her only option. A favor, an outrageous bid, and a date can’t lead to a second chance. Can it? My Review I was first introduced to Winter and Eve from Snow Kin...

Book Review: Temper the Flame

Image
  You don’t tempt a dragon unless you’re willing to pay the price. Powerful, merciless creatures, they revel in their dominance over us mortals. I’ve heard whispers that Fuoco, leader of the Fire Syndicate’s dragon clan, is the most brutal of them all. Arrogant and ruthless, he has no qualms about reducing lawbreakers to ashes. I never wanted to break the law, but when my father grows ill, I risk everything by sneaking into Lord Fuoco’s enchanted apple orchard. The last thing I expect is to come face to face with the dragon lord himself. I brace myself to be incinerated. But Fuoco’s glittering gaze burns with possession. It turns out dragons dream of their fated mates—and Fuoco thinks I’m his. And once a dragon decides to claim you, they won’t be dissuaded. Anxious to return to my father, I do what any desperate man would do—I get on my knees and beg for the dragon’s mercy. But on my knees is exactly where Fuoco wants me. The dragon lord makes me a deal: if I live in his castle and...

Book Review: The Tuna Fish Diaries

Image
  Dear Reader, Within these pages you will find my personal diary entries. They include the accounts of the loss of my beloved human, my life with the heathens that have decided to squat in my enclosure, and my journey to finding love again. It may be disturbing to some readers. My name is Fishsticks and this is my story. My Review I fell in love with Fishsticks from The Right Wrong Number book that featured his humans. Therefore, I was very excited when I learned that Katie was writing this book.  I may have laughed a bit too hard at this line..."I meowed at her once on a Sunday and instead of doing what I asked she meowed back at me in an angry tone with sixteen grammatical errors." As someone who is big on spelling and correct grammar, this was hilarious.  Katie delivered with this book. She brought all of Fishsticks snarkiness in this book. It was so funny to get to see everything from his perspective. Nora was an eccentric character from The Right Wrong Number, but I...
