The way fate has worked its magic for this couple is remarkable. They are incomplete without each other and combined; they create pure magic. Kudos to Kelsey Woods for her fantastic characters and meticulously constructed narrative.

Ruffled Feathers: A Paranormal Shifter Valentine's Short by Elliot Ason

I just wanted more from this little book. I was missing the grand gesture. I hope that this book is the beginning of a series because I'd love to know more about how Marcus lost his family, and if there are more shifters out there like him.

Hearts and Glowers makes it so I'll never look at being stuck in an elevator the same way. I love how this wonderful man (Noel) helps to build up Candy's self image after another person tries to tear it down. And... have I mentioned the elevator? Hot, hot, hot!

Love Potion No. 69 by Valerie Pepper

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

Rivals, or not? That's the question in this Enemies to Lovers book by Ms. Pepper. There's something satisfying about doing something that no one has duplicated since grandma took the recipe to her grave. Clementine is so close to finding the exact science behind the recipe, 68 times! But on the 69th try, in comes Quinton. But when Quinton's family sends him on a mission, will what he feels and what he knows he must do get in the way of each other? I love this story and can't wait to see how the rest of this series is going to play out. 

Great characters, I can't wait to meet them all.

Another hit from Dani. I loved seeing a FMC who is closer to my age and had a little insecurity about herself. I felt so seen by this book. But it's about time someone (Ryan) told plain old Jane that she's worthy and that she is loved for who she is, not what someone could mold her into.

Kudos Ms. Elias for a great book, thank you!

When you wonder what life is like on the other side but you're not allowed... meet Amor. He'll change your opinion on what it means to be cupid. A short vacation to the human world finds him in love with someone he shouldn't be but he finds his way around the rules to spend a mortal lifetime with her.

Eva's tough. She doesn't want love, not after all she's been through. But she finds she needs love more than she thought.

I loved this book and the character development. I wanted to hear more about how Amor is going to love the woman of his heart until he suffers his mortal death. Would that have been enough? Oh so many questions.

I loved this book. This book was far better than I could have imagined it was going to be. I felt such love (sorry Amanda) for Jack that I wanted to steal him away and throw Amanda to the wolves. I love having book boyfriends and Jack is among the best of them.

This book has great character development, laugh out loud moments, and extra spice. I look forward to reading more from Irene Bahrd.
