Another wonderful story with my two favorites. I loved that this story had them following pirates and going on their adventure to find the dragon eggs. I'm hoping for the 3rd installment I get to see some of the new characters we met along the way in this story. Serena the pirate and Bobby the constable, what fun characters. Each had a backstory that made them even more relatable and likable. This cozy adventure continues in the third book, and I will most definitely be there to cheer everyone on.

I throughly enjoyed the world building in this book. The mythology and religious aspects of this book were intriguing and a really cool way to look at them. The characters were great and really pulled me in making me want more. I couldn’t put the book down. The spice level for this is 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 5/5. This book had me blushing 😊 and I loved it. Book two is almost out and I’m looking forward to see what’s going to happen with Marlow and Caliban. Fauna is a super fun character and I really enjoyed Azramus character interactions with Fauna and Marlow. Each have their own special interactions. I really hope to get to know more about him and fauna.

Im a huge fan of novellas. A whole world put in something compact. This is the first book I’ve read of Piper Cj and I’m sure I’m going to like the next one I dive into. For this story I love how Narya takes back what she lost and creates this world around her with fierce women. The love between her and Kit was fun, spicy and savage. The spice level for this read was most definitely

I’m in love with the characters and the world. The book has a great pace and flow. Reyna and Kianthe are so adorable together. Kianthe is a strong mage but at her core she’s just like anyone else in the realm. She has fears and wants too. She has a heart of gold and her elemental powers make me adore her more. 
Reyna is strong and sweet and smart and is a perfect match for Kianthe. Reyna being a baker is fun and I love that she brings that into their tea and book shop. Honestly I want to live in this world and be friends with all of them. Jumping right into the next story. 

The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You by Elaine N. Aron

I throughly enjoyed this book. I was gifted this book by a client of mine after speaking about our lives. She knew she was with a fellow HSP and wanted to share this knowledge with me. I am very thankful for it. I always knew I moved and flowed in a different way than most people in my family and life. Being able to feel seen and heard in this book was wonderful. It’s helped me not only understand why I feel and act the way I do but how I can help manage triggers, and how to speak to my loved ones on how I work.

I like the old premise of two people pretending to be in love to fit a storyline. You always know they’ll end up together but you enjoy the ride getting there. This book starts off and then goes running. The narrative was basic and could be at times immature. The way some love scenes were written almost made it seem like this was a person new to be a lesbian. I wouldn’t say all the scenes were bad though. I did give a good spice level rating for this story. The story had a few holes mostly because some aspects just weren’t explored and again at times the characters seemed a bit child like with their wording and antics. I didn’t hate it though and enjoyed the ride from start to finish. 

Sapphic romance level 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Story strength 💪🏻💪🏻
Characters 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve listened to all the gas station books and hearing the theatrical versions is like getting a whole new story. It’s fun and interactive and love having the new voices to help tell the story.
