  • Book Review of Bound by Blood by June Parker

    I need to state before getting into this review that I was given this book through Booksprout. Now that has been stated, I can now get into the book review. There are going to be spoilers in this review.

    I have a question, in the first book wasn’t the main FC a shifter? Why is everyone saying she is human now? With that in mind the way that they did the ruitals felt off to me. They also felt forced, which they kind of were. I like the book when I looked past the miss match between book one and book two. The story overall is a good one. I think it has a lot of things that can happen with this story line. I can’t wait to read more.
    As for the steamy spicy moments, I enjoyed them. June Parker, knows how to write a good spicy scene that felt me breathless and wanting more. Part of what makes these scenes so good are the emotional connection that feels almost physical. The way that they developed their relationship with each of them. It feels so much more real because each one of the males gets his own special connection with her and the way they interact with each other is per gold. There is a good slow build up to the spicy.
    The slow burn? Amazingly timed. The tension? It can be cut with a knife and still be there, so, it’s insane. The payoff? Totally worth the wait.

    Now for the star ratings I’m giving this book.
    I’m giving this book an overall rating of 4.5 of out of 5 stars.
    The story is getting a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
    The writing style is getting a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
    The spicy level is getting a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
    The spicy rating would be a 4 according to romance.io stem rating guide.

  • Book Review of The Alpha and The Baker by Roxie Ray

    I need to state before getting into this review that I was given this book through Booksprout. Now that has been stated, I can now get into the book review. There are going to be spoilers in this review.

    I enjoyed reading the first 40% of the book. Sadly I couldn’t finish the book. I DNF the book at 52%. There was a few things I couldn’t overlook. I felt that this book needed some more work put into. I don’t know how she put it together that he was a shifter. She was willing to over look so much weirdness. Which is a good thing but I don’t know how to feel about it. She doesn’t have the “normal” melt down, like people who first discover werewolves are real. The main MC has a “melt down” thinking that she is a hunter. Which makes sense, He didn’t tell her anything, he tried his best to keep her from finding out. The only ways for her to know, is for her to be told or her to be a hunter. His freak out is understandable and relatable. I felt that the author was telling me the info not sprinkling it in at some points. I may pick the book back up at a later date but right now it feels lacking to me.

    Now for the star ratings I’m giving this book.
    I’m giving this book an overall rating of 3.5 of out of 5 stars.
    The story is getting a rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars.
    The writing style is getting a rating of 3 out of 5 stars.
    The spicy level is getting a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. (Though I only read one of the spicy scenes, the way that he took care of her and the connection leading up to it, was great)
    The spicy rating would be a 4 according to romance.io stem rating guide.

  • Book Review of Petals, Pyres, and Promises by Storm Lomax

    I need to state before getting into this review that I was given this book through Booksprout. Now that has been stated, I can now get into the book review. There are going to be spoilers in this review.

    Um, what? This book is only 19 pages long. It a good book, I wish it was longer but within the pages it completes 90% of the story. She was unknowingly a blood sacrifice for a prince who wanted to bring forth 50 years of prosperity to his kingdom with him being the ruler. The Demon that the prince summoned stuck the bargain with the blood sacrifice. She is now the demon queen. The next fifty years went by with very little happening in a bad way. Hoping to read more from this author. I love this book.

  • Book Review of Ghost by Julia Stone

    I need to state before getting into this review that I was given this book through Booksprout. Now that has been stated, I can now get into the book review. There maybe spoilers in this review.

    I love a good Motorcycle club romance. Normally the ones that I listen/ read are well over 250 pages. I was pleasantly surprised that this one was only 81 pages. Just a two hours and ten minutes listen. Those two hours just flew by in a good way.

    Eliza, the FMC, has been kept out of the limelight. Technically, her father held her captive within their home. Her father thought it was a good idea to “married” his daughter to someone, who is no good. Ghost, the MMC, has been watching her for a long time. When he found out that she is being “married” off against her will. He steps in and has a few of his fellow bikers kidnap her for her safety. Off page, they fall in love, while they are held up at a fellow biker’s cabin.

    We don’t get the action of a fight scene, but this book doesn’t need it. The spicy level in this book is light compared to a few other MC romances. But, again the tension is there to make the spicy scenes feel real.

    While I liked this book I don’t know if I will keep going with these books. I really do like the story having the action along side the spice.

    Now for the star ratings I’m giving this book.
    I’m giving this book an overall rating of 4 of out of 5 stars.
    The story is getting a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
    The writing style is getting a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
