Highly enjoyable story! I love Nix & McKenna from page 1! The banter, the instant spark, the sweet, the spicy - so good!!

McKenna, Mandy, & Zach are learning to live together after a tragedy. Zach immediately befriends Nix, and Nix taking him under his wing is the impetus for healing.

This story has a great suspense element, too, again woven into the story perfectly!

😍😍😍

My Hero
Caleb & Violet's story has an intensity to it. It's about healing & has a lot of heat as well! I love the way they interact & that they love with their whole hearts! Caleb has the same sweet side we saw in Bo, along with that extra intensity.

😍

Hopeless Romantic
Bo & Millie's story is insta-protective goodness! I love their sweet & spicy relationship! Super quick, fun read!

The Slayer Witch by Elle Christensen

Enjoyable foray into the world of nightwalkers, daywalkers, consorts, shifters, witches & more! Rowan isn't demure and she tends to swear in Russian without realizing it. Jax is a fabulous wolf shifter who does his best to trust in his mate's abilities. I love that it's a struggle for him, and she knows it's a struggle, but she also knows he's doing his best! Plus, STEAM!

I struggled a bit to get into this at first. I'm just now kind of finding a rhythm with the story. I LIKED both Jenna & Ethan right away as characters & the story is interesting - there are just a couple bits of story line that are usually hard nos for me, which made it harder for me to connect.

It'd been so long since I read this, and for some reason I didn't write a review the first time. I totally forgot there was a ... part of the storyline I really didn't like. But I gave it five stars, so it must redeem itself, story-wise... It's just a difficult read for me right now. I really want to punch Luke. Like, in the nose. Ugh.

My current thought is what the heck happened to my "Update progress" options on the GR home page? LOL Anyone else lose them in an update? How do I get them baaaaack??? :D

My Father's Best Friend - Excellent little story about Ethan & Lilah! Love the twist on the father's best friend trope, and this was told very well. We get to know both parties, and even tho it's a quick read, there isn't a lack of description. Loved it!! : )

Wanted - great weaving of Ellie/Gunner and Ari/Jeff's stories together (and yay for Amanda & Brad!)! However, this was not my favorite book. I LOVE Kelly Elliott & other books of hers, but this one was just TOO much back & forth for me, with both couples. It was really hard for me to stay in "rooting for them" mode w/ all the angst & push & pull. If you are a big fan of angst, you will LOVE it, tho!! ; )

I'm so happy this book found me!! It's page-turning & funny & I already have a bunch of lines highlighted. The quotes at the beginning of each chapter are spot-on & I love them!

Cinderella At Sea by Ellen Wilder - 5
I really enjoyed this story! Amanda & Hunter are childhood friends who reconnect unexpectedly, and their chemistry is there right from the beginning. Manda also suffers from anxiety/panic attacks, and the way they're written is SPOT ON. The way Hunter treats her is so amazingly perfect. Exactly right. The ending leaves an opening for a continuation of their story - FABULOUS!

Too Fast For Love by Lilly Christine - 3 Stars
I just could NOT get committed to this one. The story didn't flow very well for me. I loved the characters - Lacey & Luke each have quite a lot of personality that was translated to the page, and it's the kind of story I could have really liked. Characters get 5 stars, story flow gets 2 & I averaged it out at 3. I DID really enjoy the ending, at least - it was cute!

HP Davenport - WHY ARE YOU RIPPING OUT MY HEART?!?!

So far this story is very well-written, keeping me engaged, laughing, swooning, and NOW RIPPING OUT MY HEART. Must go back to it. Just had to share.

I love the interactions in this story! Between Hadley & Trick, Trick & Riley, Riley & Tux. *cough* Alfred. *cough* Tux. LOL There's such a sweetness and warmth to these characters and the way they're written.

I'm loving this so far! Sucked me right in from page 1 & hasn't let go.

I don't normally comment until I'm writing my final review, but I'm LOVING this book! It's witty & well paced. : )

I thought I was ready for Drew, but apparently not. eight or so chapters in & I'm setting this aside. planning to pick it back up at a later date, but we'll see.

I am really loving the pace of this story! I know sad parts are coming - I hate sad parts. but right now, right now this has made me smile a lot. and I have a craving for Karate Kid...

idk why goodreads says there are only 266 pages. there are 313. anyway. THIS BOOK IS SO INTENSE! seriously, i love it (except for the sheer amount of sex. we could do w/ a little more focus on the non-sex portion of the relationship, really. LOL). i'm going to need a nap when i finish this, tho, it is wringing me out! *heart* who knew i'd like that?

omh, this book! it's so intense, screaming could be an option. in a (mostly) good way! "He's like my Olympics, something that I'm never going to have, but which I crave with my entire being." aaand *swoon* lol

this book is ripping my heart out. that is all.

Mia Ryan's The Last Temptation was delightful, and my favorite story of the 4 so far. I liked Suzanne Enoch's The Best of Both Worlds, but felt the parental portion of the plot was rather annoying,.
