Review: The Wicked Widow Meets her Match (Regency Rogues #6) – Stefanie Sloane

Review: The Wicked Widow Meets her Match (Regency Rogues #6) – Stefanie Sloane

*I received a free ARC of The Wicked Widow Meets her Match from Ballantine Books via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* The Wicked Widow Meets her Match is a delightful historical romance that dares to bend the gender roles, where true love is hard to believe, and a horrible band of criminals has to be fought and dismantled! Grace is a close to perfect historical romance heroine, because she is strong, resilient and intelligent. And while her life has been very hard, she has not hardened her heart in protection. Being married off to a horrible man to whom her father lost her in a card game, Grace had all possible reasons to be hard, so seeing a […]

Review: Deeper We Fall (Fall and Rise #1) – Chelsea M. Cameron

Review: Deeper We Fall (Fall and Rise #1) – Chelsea M. Cameron

*I received a free ARC of Deeper We Fall from All Night Reads via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Deeper We Fall is a heart-breaking contemporary story, filled with guilt, and a very tentative path towards love. Lottie seems to think she doesn’t deserve to be happy, just because her best friend Lexie won’t ever have a chance at the kind of life they were both dreaming of two years before college. Lottie is very close to her twin-brother Will, and I enjoyed their banter and their friendship. Coming to college was supposed to be a new start for Lottie, but very soon after arriving in her dorm, she finds out that both Zack and Zan live in […]

Review: Dangerous Dream (Dangerous Creatures #0.5) – Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

Review: Dangerous Dream (Dangerous Creatures #0.5) – Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

*I received a free ARC of Dangerous Dream from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Dangerous Dream is a very short story that starts with Ethan, Lena and Link’s high-school graduation. For the first couple of days of summer, the three of them, plus Ridley, Liv and John Breed hang out, until Link say the dreaded L-word to Ridley, and she huffs and puffs before taking off on her own. Because she doesn’t want to admit she even likes him, so she goes country-hopping to forget him. Ridley ends up in New York after several months of traveling, and goes to a new Caster-bar to try to live things up a little […]

Review: The Immortal Crown (Age of X #2) – Richelle Mead

Review: The Immortal Crown (Age of X #2) – Richelle Mead

*I received a free ARC of The Immortal Crown from Dutton Adult in exchange of an honest review* The Immortal Crown lets the readers know Mae a lot better, and seeing how different Gods are wooing her makes her seem more human, in a way, and more likable. Therefore, the story here is much better than Gameboard of the Gods in my opinion, and there are several reasons for this. One reason is that the world makes more sense in The Immortal Crown, and since Age of X is set in an epic fantasy world, it is easy to understand why the second book makes more sense. I also enjoyed Mae and Justin both more in The Immortal Crown than […]

Review: All Night Long (Black Halo #1) – Madelynne Ellis

Review: All Night Long (Black Halo #1) – Madelynne Ellis

*I received a free ARC of All Night Long from Harper Collins via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* All Night Long is a scorching hot read, filled with lots of sex between a hard rock star and one of his fans. There are even some scenes where some of the band-mates kind of join in the fun a little bit. There isn’t all that much going on apart from the hot sex, but that’s quite OK, as I totally got that from the summary. Ginny only wants to let loose for one night, and who better than a guy who’s in a band? He’s totally used to groupies, and won’t be looking for anything more than sex – […]

Taken with You (The Kowalskis #8) – Shannon Stacey

Taken with You (The Kowalskis #8) – Shannon Stacey

*I received a free ARC of Taken with You from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Taken with You is set in Whitford, like other Kowalski books, but this time, those hunky and hard-bodied Kowalski boys aren’t among the main characters. Matt is an awesome male lead, though, even if he does jump to conclusions a little quickly sometimes, and Hailey really needed some hot romance in her life. She’s lived in Whitfield for most of her life, and she would love to stay, but there are no interesting men there. Also, she really wants to have a family, and she can practically hear her own biological clock ticking away. There is a lot of humor […]

Review: The Belief in Angels – J. Dylan Yates

*I received a free ARC of The Belief in Angels from She Writes Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Belief in Angels is a pretty tough story to read, there is child-abuse, drug use, 2nd world war story about the Jewish grand-dad from Ukraine. Jules never seems to be able to catch a break, her whole child-hood is filled with darkness, fear and very little hope. Her dad drinks too much, and never hesitates to raise his hand, both to his children and his wife. And the mom, she gets high, is an eternal student, and leaves the children to mend for themselves most of the time. I have to point out that the prologue almost […]
