The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
4.0
Beautiful written; Erin Morgenstern's writing heightens your senses, captivating you into the story.
The plot line mainly focuses on the two main characters; Cecil and Marco are the illusionists who are a part of the circus. They are stuck in a game (magical) created by Celia's father and Marco's master (teacher/foster father). Which they have been at feud with each other for a long time. Cecil and Marco challenge each other throughout this game while resisting their feelings for each other. As you turn a new chapter in this book, you'll find that it will shift into the other characters POVs and their journeys as a part of the 'Le Cirque des Réves' (The Circus of Dreams). Which this adds unexpected twists and turns. I'm not a huge fan of multiple POVs (more than two), I find it can be a bit difficult for me to get into the story. But, I loved the way Erin Morgenstern has written out in it The Night Circus

Never Got Over You by S.L. Scott
5.0
My first read of the year and wow! I absolutely loved it! This is my first read by S.L. Scott, and I'm looking forward to reading more novels from her in the near future! If you are a fan of romantic comedies and contemporary romances then I highly recommend this novel! From the very first page it got me hooked! This novel is definitely a page turner.
The plot begins where Natalie and Nick meet at a bar; they hit it off instantly. Natalie just got out of a bad relationship and Nick isn't interested in a serious relationship. But that doesn't stop the sparks from flying. I enjoyed their dialogues; Natalie is witty and Nick is charming ( I was swooning over Nick throughout the book

Dare To Stay by Carly Phillips
4.0
A lovely read, if you are a fan of reading sports or second chance romances, you should definitely pick this novel. Dare to Stay is the fourth novel in the Dare Nation series; novels are standalone, focusing on each Prescott siblings' lives. I haven't read the first three books as yet, but I'm looking forward to reading them soon!
I have enjoyed reading Willow and Braden's story, I'm happy that they got the happy ending that they deserved.
Ever since she was a young girl, Willow has had trust and abandonment issues. Willow is surpised to see that her ex boyfriend Braden has returned from overseas. They begin working together with the Miami Thunder football team. Braden regrets the way he ended things with Willow. They both have unresolved issues for each other.
As the chemistry begins to heat up between them, Willow will do everything in her power to not let her guard down again. But as Willow spends more time with Braden, she's not certain if she can keep this up.

Dead of Night by Emily Goodwin
5.0
This is my first read by Emily Goodwin, it's an amazing read! I devoured this book within two days! I haven't read much paranormal romances novels, but I can say this is my favorite! The plot is well written; the characters are phenomenal. I loved Callie's character; she's totally badass. Looking forward to reading the next installments in the series!
