Book Review: Ranger Danger by L.A. Wayward

Ranger Danger by L.A. Wayward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a novella so the story itself is fast paced. Rafe and Storm are forced to spend some time together by reasons out of their control. The insta lust/love is there simply because this is a stand alone novella. There’s secrets, tear jerking back stories, misunderstandings and lots and lots of spice. I honestly would have enjoyed this just as much if it were a full length novel with more drawn out story – which would be more drama and spice. Novellas are always good when you want a quick read; I 100% recommend this one.

Book Review: Mall You Need Is Love by Sarah Robinson

Mall You Need is Love by Sarah Robinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was contacted to consider reviewing this book. The blurb sounded interesting so I agreed. I then checked the reviews online and saw so many discouraging ones. I was a little scared the book would be a bust.

But, it wasn’t! I don’t understand all the low reviews. It is a novella so naturally the story would be fast paced. But, it was a good fast paced.

Amara and Valentino own neighboring businesses in the local mall. After a crime is committed in the mall, the two work together as a mall patrol unit. Amara doesn’t believe in the whole “love is grand” thing while Valentino believes in the magic of love. The banter between these two is funny and left me chuckling at times. There are also some heartwarming and touching moments as the two discover that there is more to the other than it appeared.

Will Valentino break down Amara’s walls? Or will she continue to remain shut off? This is a short, sweet, and romantic read.

Book Review: A Little Red by Bethany Maines

A Little Red by Bethany Maines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t usually read much paranormal much less shifter stories. But, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and decided to give this one a try. This is also a “new to me” author. A story with shapeshifting wolves, fae, witches, warlocks, and vampires? If mermaids were included it’d be the perfect occult recipe.

I actually enjoyed this story much more than I thought I would. Liam and Scarlet were great characters and you could instantly root for them… even though they were both keeping secrets about themselves from the other. They are both alpha outside the bedroom but it’s very obvious that Liam is the alpha in the bedroom. We are introduced to Scarlet’s siblings who are the characters for the next two in the trilogy. I definitely hope we still see Liam and Scarlet in the rest of the series as secondary characters. This is a shorter read. The only reason it got 4 stars was because some of the scenes/writing was choppy but overall the story was great.

Book Review: Flawless Ruin by Roxy Sloane

Flawless Ruin by Roxy Sloane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flawless Ruin is book 2 of the Flawless Trilogy. It begins where book 1 left off and Juliet and Caleb are dealing with the aftermath of the gala. Juliet discovers who her friends are. Caleb is hurt by Juliet’s actions but can’t seem to let go of her. The smut scenes are still just as smutty as book 1. At the end there is a raw emotion scene between Juliet and Caleb that leads us to a cliffhanger that leaves me eager to read the conclusion of the trilogy (too bad I have to wait a month…) I need the conclusion now! I need to see how the love story ends. I need to know how Caleb’s legal issues end. I need to see the truth about Olivia because I feel like her motives are more than what she’s saying. And why do I feel like there are rats within the Sterling Cross employee pool? I just need answers!

Book review: Flawless Desire by Roxy Sloane

Flawless Desire by Roxy Sloane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flawless Desire is book 1 in the Flawless Trilogy. Juliet needs money and needs it fast so she applies as an assistant to Sterling Cross’s CEO. Juliet’s intentions aren’t all that it seems. Besides needing money for her mother’s care, she has an ulterior motive for applying. Everything becomes complicated for Juliet when her boss, Caleb Sterling, takes an interest in her. Caleb is acting shady and Juliet begins to wonder if he is what he says he is.

The smut scenes? They were so smutty even I felt dirty afterwards.

The mystery and intrigue kept me invested in the storyline. What is Caleb hiding? Will the truth about Juliet come out? What is going on at Sterling Cross?

This ends in a cliffhanger at a predictable moment. The cliffhanger didn’t bother me since I knew I had the next book ready to read right after.

Book Review: Less Than Zero Box Set by Kaylene Winter

Less Than Zero Box Set by Kaylene Winter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I want to begin this review talking about the series as a whole before going into the individual books. I love how this series is written. I love that these individual novels are woven into each other and I get to see several different views of the same incidents. I love that while some events are mentioned briefly in one book, we get the bigger picture when it is some other character’s turn to have a book.

I also love the Behind The Scenes section at the end of each book. Reading these tidbits of information about each book really helps connect the dots in each story.

Book 1: Endless

In Book 1, we are introduced to Less Than Zero’s lead singer, Tyler aka Ty. Tyler comes from a troubled home and is taken under rockstar Carter’s wing (you meet Carter in the prequel). Zoey is a high school senior that is coming into young adulthood. They meet one night and their lives are set on a path of love, betrayal, and angst.

I loved Ty and Zoey’s story. Were there times I wanted to slap them into reality? Absolutely. But, reading their story made them make sense.

Book 2: Limitless

Book 2 is dedicated to the drummer, Jace and Alex, Zoey’s best friend. Because of Zoey and Alex’s friendship, we see some of the same events from Book 1 but through Jace and Alex’s eyes. This helped me to understand some of the events a little more and gave me different perspectives of the events. I was completely shocked at the ending; I did not see that coming at all!

Book 3: Fearless

Book 3 focuses on Connor and Ronni. We are introduced briefly to Ronni in previous books. Ronni’s story blew me away. It was written perfectly and I really felt for her. She is such a strong female main character. The prologue reveals the twist and the book is all about how Connor and Ronni got to the twist. In the previous books, Connor had a few hostile moments with Ty which were explained more in this book.

Book 4: Timeless

Book 4 is about Zane and Fiona. Zane is Carter’s son and Fiona is the daughter of the owner of the Mission where Carter and Lianne first met. They have been best friends since birth. This story is special because it is the history of their love for each other since childhood. This book has everything in it: childhood best friends, teen love/angst, family drama, misunderstandings, teen/young adult immaturity.


Now, my question is: Will Carter ever get a HEA or was the prequel the end of his story??

Book Review: Ruthless Letters by M.L. Philpitt

Ruthless Letters by M.L. Philpitt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t even know where to begin with this review. I am usually not a fan of the bully romance trope. But, this blurb drew me in and I knew I had to read it.

This book. O.M.G. I could not stop reading it. I read it in two sittings only because I had to run errands in between. Otherwise, I would have read it from start to finish in one sitting. Even though the bully parts had me seething, I just couldn’t stop reading it. I had to know the “why” behind Ryker’s bullying. Ryker and Elena are great, well - written characters. Even though it felt wrong, I love Ryker and Elena as a couple.

The betrayal. The misunderstandings. The angst. The spice. This book has it all… and I’m there for it. I cannot wait for the rest of this series to see how everything ends.
