Blog Tour: Midnight Soul (Fantasyland #5) by Kristen Ashley {Review, Excerpt & Giveaway}

~Franka~ “You need to leave,” I declared. His brows drew together a moment before his expression showed clearly that comprehension had dawned. Sadly, comprehension might have dawned but he didn’t leave. He crouched by the bed and offered in a soft voice, “You need me to carry you to the other room so you can have a bit of privacy?” Dear goddess. He thought I needed a chamber pot. But… What was…

Review: Reaper's Fire (Reaper's MC #6) by Joanna Wylde

It pains me to write this review but it must be done and I’ll be keeping it short and sweet. I didn’t like the latest installment in the Reaper’s MC series. It’s especially a bummer since I have been waiting for so long for it to come out but it just didn’t work for me. You ever start reading a book and you just continuously wait and wait for it to get to the good part? That’s kind of how I felt…

Blog Tour Review, Excerpt & Giveaway: Midnight Soul (Fantasyland #5) by Kristen Ashley

Check out my review, an excerpt and a giveaway during the MIDNIGHT SOUL blog tour!

“I have a midnight soul, it’s true, but light shines upon it every once in awhile. I feel its warmth when it does and it means everything to me. Everything.” While this is the last in this series, Midnight Soul has left one hell of an impression. Sure, it wasn’t my favorite of the series. And yes, it was my lowest rating at a 3 star, but don’t get it confused. 3 stars is really good! In fact,…

Review: Reaper's Fire (Reaper's MC #6) by Joanna Wylde

Any other time, any other place, she’d be under me already, but I knew my job. Reapers forever, forever Reapers. Sometimes loyalty sucks. It pains me to write this review but it must be done and I’ll be keeping it short and sweet. I didn’t like the latest installment in the Reaper’s MC series. It’s especially a bummer since I have been waiting for so long for it to come out but it just didn’t…

Review: First Star I See Tonight (Chicago Stars #8) by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

  Women brought too much drama, too much press, and too damned much perfume. Susan Elizabeth Phillips is the Queen. End of. She is one of my all-time favorites. Whenever I am in the need of an emotionally satisfying romance I turn to her books. In fact, this was one of the only books that I was determined to get when I was at BEA back in May. I have loved almost everything she has put out and…

Review: Sugar Rush (Sugar Bowl #2) by Sawyer Bennett

Sugar Rush comes out in 2 weeks and I'm so excited to share my 4 star review with y'all!

*There will be some spoilers for Sugar Daddy included in this review so reader beware! He was so many things to me in such a short period of time. He was a new life. A fresh start. A possibility I thought I’d never have. But right now, he’s the man who just broke me. Sugar Rush picks up right where Sugar Daddy left off and let’s just say things are not in a good place between Sela and Beck. After…

Review: The Highlander (Victorian Rebels #3) by Kerrigan Byrne

Sometimes…the safest place to be is at the side of a violent man. Man, oh, man! Kerrigan Byrne is right up there with Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn as a go-to when it comes to historical romance. I cannot recommend this series enough, especially because the quality of man she brings to the pages. I don’t know about you, but have the reason I find myself reading historical romance is because I want…

Review: The Angels' Share (Bourbon Kings #2) by J.R. Ward

Review: The Angels’ Share (Bourbon Kings #2) by J.R. Ward

Last year when I read The Bourbon Kings I found myself so invested in the beginning of this new series. Of course, J.R. Ward can hardly do wrong in my eyes but I do have to say I was a little underwhelmed with the second installment of the series. The Angels’ Share picks up right where The Bourbon Kings left off and while so much happens, it almost feels as if nothing happens. Does that make…

Review: Broken Prince (The Royals #2) by Erin Watt

I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that I'm all caught up in this angsty New Adult series. But seriously, who am I?!? Check out my 4 star review of Broken Prince!

We told each other lies. What a tangled web these Royals have weaved that has somehow snagged me in. Seriously, these books are like crack. I want to be adult and say I’m too old for these shenanigans but I cannot stop. I honestly surprise myself by how much I love to hate and hate to love this series. I guess hate is a strong word for something I don’t hate. More or less willing to the put up…

Bloggers That Post Click-Bait are Assholes

Bloggers That Post Click-Bait are Assholes

Click-Bait.  My foe. My nemesis. My least favorite trend in the book blogging community. What is click-bait you ask? In the book blogging community it looks something like this: Other than a brief description and a link to this book on Amazon there is no other information listed. No author and no book title.  That my friends is click-bait and it’s a gross and slimy affair. Why is click-bait bad?…

Review: Broken Dove (Fantastical #4) by Kristen Ashley

My review for BROKEN DOVE (Fantasyland #4) is now live and while this isn't my favorite it was still a wild adventure!

A dove has great beauty, but is easily broken. Broken Dove was a book that I was anticipating like crazy. First, you have sad widower Apollo. Second, Apollo has kids and if you’ve read a Kristen Ashley novel, romance + kids + a step-parent=EVERYTHING. Third, this is Fantasyland and anything can happen. The trappings were there for epic times….but it fell just a little flat. That’s not to say that…

Review: Fantastical (Fantasyland #3) by Kristen Ashley

My review for Fantastical is now posted and I wanna talk about Cora and Tor <3 I love this couple!

On the third day, it hit me what he was doing. He was taking his time. Allowing me to chat with townsfolk, window shop, smell the flowers, taste the foods and drink in the landscape. He was giving me his world. Another installment in the Fantasyland series and another couple for me to love. When I first started writing this review it took me at least an hour to pick out the quotes I wanted to…

Review: Moonshot by Alessandra Torre

I REALLY wanted to love this and for about 50% I did, but this took a nosedive and I couldn't recover. Check out my 2.5 review of Moonshot

Together, we would only bring chaos. How I wanted to LOVE this book. And for almost 50% I did. I was highlighting like crazy and seeing at least 4 star review on the horizon and then it crashed and burned. Honestly, the last half of this book felt like I was reading something completely different. The plot went off the rails and just evolved into this story that I didn’t care to read anymore. I…

Review: Marrying Winterborne (The Ravenel's #2) by Lisa Kleypas

Review: Marrying Winterborne (The Ravenel’s #2) by Lisa Kleypas

“I can’t be a gentleman,” he said hoarsely. “Not even for you.” Helen and Rhys story has been one that I’ve been clamoring for every since their appearance in Cold-Hearted Rake. This couple showed such promise for a tumultuous but epic love affair. For the most part they lived up to my own self-induced hype. In fact, it was their raw passion for one another that really resonated with their story.…
