I really enjoyed Charlotte and Rhys' story. When I started reading this, I wasn't expecting the type of story it turned out to be, but it drew me in, and I couldn't put it down until the end. I went in blind. 

Rhys is a hot and possessive antihero that comes knocking on Charlotte's door when she creates her perfect match on an app, and man, is he perfect in every way! He shows Charlotte what a real man can do for her in more ways than one. 

This is a quick, steamy, and perfect story if you love antihero men who can make dreams come true. I would love to see Cupid work his magic in more books.

I liked Seneca and Tyran's story. The healing nature of love and family was the forefront of this story, but the story was drawn out with descriptions and unnecessary dialog. I would recommend this story to anyone who enjoys PNR.

Intriguing and infuriating but oh so intoxicating! The relationship between Cecilia, Sean, and Dominic is frustration but inquiring minds want to know where it all leads to and what is found at the end of the yellow brick road.

This is my first book by this author, and I will continue with book 2 to see where Caius and Rory's story leads. 
I like how strong-willed they both are, but the writing style was a bit lacking. The side characters have definitely made this book more intriguing, and the suspense of the story has kept me reading. 

The Queen's Serpent by A.L. Maruga
Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.

This was a very dark book and some of the things that happened I just didn't care for.

This book is packed with emotions, deceit, and betrayal. I can't wait to start book 4 and see what happens with the war that is about to begin.

Wow! As Eleanor and Sully's story continues and they fight what is happening between them, it's hard not to scream at them both! The tension, the angst, and the passion are off the charts, but there is something holding this connection from becoming a reality. I can't wait to start book 3, and hopefully, there will be some resolution to the situation because I'm ready for them both to break.

This is my first book by this author, and I can't wait to start the next book in Sully and Eleanor's story. 

This book had my enthralled with the elegant details of the sights, places, and emotions throughout this story. The angst, the heat, and the way in which the story played out is phenomenal. I am on the edge waiting to see where euphoria is for Sully and Eleanor.

This is my first Norse read and I was pulled into the world immediately. Bjorn and Freya's story kept me intrigued until the very end. I can't wait for the next book in this epic tale of magic, deceit, love, and betrayal.
