Book Summary:

He is the Dragon Prince, cursed and bound by sacrificed auras to a savage demon dragon. Wielding the barely tamed monster like a weapon, the prince fights the hellish horde to preserve the light of all the Living Lands.

Me… I’m nothing. Or not quite nothing. I’m a good thief, with clever fingers and a wayward tongue—which only gets me in trouble when the glowering Dragon Prince rescues me. He wasn’t rescuing just me, of course. There’s a fine lady and a brave soldier and a shy little shepherd boy, and also a holier-than-me cleric and a king.

Now, because of a mistake that was not really mine, I’m trapped in a dangerous adventure. Demonic verges are splitting across the kingdom, releasing ghastly spawn from the Lost Lands. Even worse, the enchanted chains on the dragon are fraying, and the lifetime of scars that wound the Dragon Prince are bleeding where only I can see.

We must find our way through ancient tomes, fabled talismans, and terrible battles before the kingdom crumbles. But I might be falling too—falling for the dreadmarked prince. He did save me, after all, so I might just save him in return.

My Thoughts:

It took me a while to get into this story, it seemed to move at a snail's pace but once it hooks you are all in. It has wonderful world-building and the imperfect characters are divine. Throw in the plot twists, demons, and a dragon what more could you ask for? How about a sassy, feisty MFC Feinan and a Dragon Prince Aric the MMC. Aric is dark, broody, and dreadmaked a demon. You fall in love with all the characters and keep reading, hanging on by a thread to wait for the next book. The cruelty of cliffhangers... This is a slow-burn romance with plenty of tension and some spice. It will leave you wanting and cheering for love.

Book Summary:

He has a heart of ice...but for her, he'd burn the world.

Alex Volkov is a devil blessed with the face of an angel and cursed with a past he can’t escape.

Driven by a tragedy that has haunted him for most of his life, his ruthless pursuits for success and vengeance leave little room for matters of the heart.

But when he’s forced to look after his best friend’s sister, he starts to feel something in his chest:

A crack.
A melt.
A fire that could end his world as he knew it.

***

Ava Chen is a free spirit trapped by nightmares of a childhood she can’t remember.

But despite her broken past, she’s never stopped seeing the beauty in the world…including the heart beneath the icy exterior of a man she shouldn’t want.

Her brother’s best friend.
Her neighbor.
Her savior and her downfall.

Theirs is a love that was never supposed to happen—but when it does, it unleashes secrets that could destroy them both…and everything they hold dear.

Twisted Love is a contemporary brother’s best friend/grumpy sunshine romance. It's book one in the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone.

My Thoughts:

Ava the MFC is Miss Sunshine, she believes in everything good.  She's perky and fun. Alex the MMC is a grumpy, dominating, take no crap kind of guy. He will get stuff done no matter the cost. When these two are together it's like oil and water, they just clash but go good together. The chemistry between these two is over the top but the book isn't too spicy. I'd say about a 2-3 on the spicy scale. I loved all of the characters and the storyline.

I did listen to this on Audiobook and I wasn't too sure of the narrators at first but Cindy Kay and Aiden Snow pulled it off. They brought the story to life the more you listened. It was a little quiet though so be prepared to turn it up.

Book Summary:

I loved a boy once. I let him go to chase his dreams.

But he doesn’t know I kept a piece of him with me.

Benji Mills took the opportunity and ran as far as he could from our small town. Now he’s one of the star members of the Connecticut Comets hockey team. His speed and skill rule the ice, and his sharp-shooting skills have earned him a reputation as a sniper.

No matter how hard I try, I can’t forget about him.

His silver-gray eyes haunt my dreams every night, but when the morning comes, I still find myself staring directly into them.

I can’t escape the impression he’s left on my life.

I never thought I’d see him again, but he’s back. And he just found out I’ve been keeping the secret of a lifetime.

Sometimes the best surprises come in small packages.

*Surprise for the Sniper is the second book in the Connecticut Comets Hockey series but can be read as a standalone.
*The Connecticut Comets Hockey series is a spin-off series of Scoring the Princess from the Remington Royals series

My Thoughts:

Well, Siena Trap has done it again with another wonderful story. It was a realistic story with a slow burn and the characters were wonderful. Olivia the MFC was a mom trying to do the right thing while keeping her son safe. Benji the MMC was the small-town boy making his dream come true and becoming a hockey star. Brought back together through a chance hockey sign-up for youth. The story shows both characters dealing with things from the past and things they had to sort through to make a future together. It was a great second-chance romance. Highly recommend.

Book Summary:

Pretty lies.
Dirty secrets.
And a campus king determined to dominate me.

My best friend is missing, and it’s clear that the Sacred Sons know more than they’re willing to admit. And as much as I despise them, I need answers, so I decide I'll play them at their own vicious game.

But when I’m drawn deeper into the viper’s den, and my life is threatened, I’m faced with an impossible choice—trust the handsome devil I know, or face a world of unknown dangers myself…

The wrong choice could be the last one I make…

My Thoughts:

OMG! The cliffhangers for this series are driving me crazy...

I was glued to this book for two days. This book takes off where book one Tell Me You Like It left off. You need to read them in order and make sure to read the trigger warnings.

We learn more about the threat to Lux and the crazy unhinged side of Roman. 

Lux and Roman have a crazy chemistry going on. Dark and dangerous, but both are seeing things they didn't expect from the other. 

The enemies-to-lovers vibe is astronomical and the mystery of it all keeps you coming back for more. But that cliffhanger... now to wait for book 3 Don't Look Away.
