Another winner from these fabulous authors! I love how immersive the universe is, the depth of the characters, and the perfect balance of spice (OMG alien tails!) and romance (and familial ❤️). I love the guarantee of HEA! This series is a new fav of mine, so far every one is a story I can't put down!

I just adore Honey Phillip's seductive, sweet aliens! With strong heroines exploring strange worlds, plenty of spice, and always a HEA, Phillip's books are a guaranteed good read. I particularly enjoyed this world and the kraken-like aliens, omg the tentacles!

Continue to love this series! Each book can be read as a standalone, but a few characters returned in minor roles and it was soo fun to see their stories progress as well. 
Great story, spicy sex scenes, and the most lovable characters! What I enjoy most about this series is that there is always a conflict to keep things interesting, but nothing too stressful (doesn't set of my anxiety, so it's exciting but I know all will be well, truly fun read).

I expected this book to feel a little repetitive after reading the first one earlier this week (each is set in the same universe but read as a stand-alone), however, I found myself drawn into a very fresh feeling story! Once again, love the fully imagined worlds, well rounded characters, sweet expression of familial and romantic love, and the steamy alien sex scenes! Already downloaded the next book!

I loved everything about this book, I devoured it in one sitting! The way the author tenderly explored not only romantic love, but the bonds of family, made this such a beautiful read. And the sexy aliens were delicious, omg the tails... Well rounded characters and a great storyline made this an excellent read. Every one in awhile you find. Gem on KU, this is one such treasure, can't wait to read the next book!

Sweet and Spicy! My second book by this author and I loved it just as much as the first! A lovely mix of full characters, spicy sex scenes, and sweet connections. Just the right mix of fantasy wolf men thrown in. If you like spice and HEA, check these out <3

Stunningly beautiful writing, Whitten conjures up images in every sentence that are so vivid and lush you'll be tasting the forest. I love fairy tale retellings, and this was such an interesting, twisted tale of Red and the Wolf: a fairy tale in it's own right. Read if you love a dark fantasy with magic and love that knows no bounds.

Jemma Croft has quickly become one of my favourite fantasy-romance writers (after only two books!) I received an ARC of this book and I'm super grateful that I didn't have to wait to read it, because I couldn't put it down! Except for the last few pages, then I wanted to slow down so that it wouldn't be over!
Croft writes characters that are soo vivid that you feel their pain and passion as if it was your own. I love that she writes characters that are real, flaws, awkward moments and all! This book had just as much spice, heart stopping romance, laugh out loud moments, and tear-jerking emotional torture as the first book. Croft takes well known tropes (here we have "teach me", "hate to love", etc.) and still manages to introduce unexpected twists.
I loved this book, can you tell? Can we please see a happy ending for Dima now? My heart can't wait!
