I really enjoyed this one, and went through it pretty fast. I got into the book from the first page, and kept wanting to read it. 

Cute and easy to read romance, with a side of mystery. 

I'd say it's an open door romance, but not super duper graphic either. 

I've never read from this author before, but I would recommend.

Norse Mythology, Magic & Romance by History Brought Alive

challenging dark informative medium-paced

3.0

I was unsure how to rate it. The parts I liked? I loved it. Maybe it's because I'm Norwegian and not a complete novice on Norse mythology(though not knowledgeable either), but some parts felt very repetitive to me. I know there's three books in one, so I could forgive some repetition, it was just a lot for me. Other than those points I found it relatively easy to read, and fairly enganging. More so than I expected. I would recommend giving it a chance if the topic is interesting to you, and I might give other books from the author(s) a go.

Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. Holmberg
Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.

Was on the fence, and Scribd decided to restart from the beginning. That sealed it.

4.0

Some parts felt a bit on the slow side, and took a little bit to get in to. Overall though, I did enjoy it, and the premise was interesting and unique, at least for me. I am interested in continuing the series at some point.

Spur of the Moment by Karley Brenna

hopeful relaxing medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.75

As I expected, I loved this book. Both a bit spicy and an actual storyline, which I prefer. I liked the characters, and I liked the (chronic) illness storyline, and the challenges that comes with it. I would recommend if you like books with a bit of spice, a slightly different take on the romance, and horses. 

I recieved this book for free as an ARC.
