Grumpy Billionaire Bossholes: A Six Book Bosshole Grump-Sunshine Billionaire Romance Boxset by Leslie North, Leslie North
fast-paced
4.0
There is something here for whatever romance trope a reader might prefer. Some stories appealed more than others, but all in all, it was a pretty good compilation.
For those readers looking for a quick billionaire romance go to with the inclusion of fluff and stuff stories, this would fit the bill.

A charming witchy romance
I actually read other books in the series before this one, so I am actually backtracking. Now, I get it! I adored Danica and Titus.

There was so much symbolism in this book. It was dark and tragic. It was sad and morose. It was thought provoking. I really liked it.

The emotional arc was nicely done. I got choked up hearing the backstory of each of the leads. It helped me to better understand why they were the way they were. Stella's situation was really heartbreaking.
This was the just right read for me. It was textured, exciting, and heartwarming.

This had tones of an "ugly duckling" transforming into a swan. It was light on love and heavy on finding one's voice in life and relationships.
Assassinations That Shaped the Ancient World by Phil Carradice

This book proved to be interesting, informative, opinionated to a degree, and thought provoking. There was so much content to consider and such different perspectives offered on familiar cases that it caused me to want to conduct my own detailed research.
I, particularly, liked the introduction and the chapter one considerations on how the author chose to categorize and/or approach assassinations. I found the inclusion of plots, plotters, methods, and tools to be extremely captivating. The most fascinating mention related to the female assassins from Japan, the assassination bands and sects of India, and the assassination gangs of Thebes. I also appreciated the mention of Teti.
While I liked the writer's attempt to do a broad stroke on assassinations over the course of time, I cannot help but wonder if a more specific temporal based series might have worked better for this type of material. There was a lot of information presented. I would have liked to delve deeper, if possible. Also, the tie in between historical accounts and personal views was very evident.
Because I was reading an ARC, I am unsure as to what the final approved book layout will look like at the time of publication. With that said, I think it would be extremely helpful to disperse the pictures throughout the book versus concentrating them in the back of the book. As it stands, the typed text which is devoid of images, gets monotonous. There were no visual breaks for the reader. After a time, it came to be rather laborious. While this may be a personal preference, it may be the same for other readers.
