Rescued by the Grumpy Orc by Jilli Waters

fast-paced

4.0

This was a quick open door instalove romance set in the small town of Moonfang Haven and is the introduction of a series of standalone stories between human women and the orcs they fall in love with. This story is about Anne and Urk and I enjoyed getting to know the two of them. The epilogue at the end was also fun and gave readers a peak into their lives six months later.

This is a fun and quick steamy alien Christmas romance set on a space station between K’Laus & Holly. I enjoyed getting to know both of them and all the cute little misunderstandings K’Laus makes, he was really sweet. This was my second alien holiday romance by this author and I look forward to reading more in the future.

This was a quick and fun instalove romance set in the small town of Haven County about widowed single dad Ellis & Georgia. I liked Ellis' two kids Gabe and Nancy as well as his mother in law. Georgia's aunt Catherine was a fun character as well.

I enjoyed getting to know Carter & Ana in this newest instalove short story set in the small town of Seduction Summit, North Carolina and was glad to see Carter find someone after briefly meeting him in the previous book. I am looking forward to reading the next (and final) story in this series and getting to know Violet and see who she ends up with.

I enjoyed reading about Quinn & Rachel in this newest book set in the small town of Seduction Summit. They had a fun meet cute and hit a bit of a rough patch part way through the story but everything turned out well for them in the end. I am looking forward to reading Carter's story in the next book.

This is a fun novella set within the interconnected series Loving A Mountain Man as well as being part of the multi author Whispered Echoes - A Spicy Wounded Mountain Man Series. I enjoyed getting to know Brynn & Mack in this story and seeing how their story came together as well as how the two of them supported each other when needed. I look forward to reading more books by this author and from the Loving A Mountain Man series in the future.

Hunter's Fate by Lynnea Lee

5.0

This book is a good introduction of this connected Xarc'n series set on the mountains. I enjoyed getting to know Sandy & Turr’k as well as briefly getting to know Sandy's friend Morgan who is featured in the next book in this series. This book can work as a standalone as each book features a different couple but it is better when you are already familiar with the world it takes place in. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the Xarc'n Warriors: Mountains series as well as more from the original Xarc'n Warriors series in the future.

5.0

This was another fun book in the interconnected series Loving A Mountain Man as well as being part of the multi author Sexy Lumberjacks Series. It works well as a standalone since all the books from both series each revolve around different couples. I enjoyed getting to know Clementine and Vaughn in this story and thought they made a fun couple. I look forward to reading more books from both these series.
