"Quickies" aka: short reviews :)

There is a fair amount of reviews that did not make its way here this past few weeks. Some because they were older titles and although I try to review everything I read when I am busy that is a little difficult, so I skip reviews on older publications. Others because I did not love the book and wasn't inspired to write a review. Whatever the reason, here is a line or two on the books I read recently that did not get their own post on the blog:


Temptation and Surrender (Cynster, #15)Temptation and Surrender, 

Stephanie Laurens 3.5/5

Took me well over a month to finish this one. In part because it was an audio book and I was only listening to it on my way to work, but also because it was a slow read. Or too many books into one. Depends on the point of view there. I loved the romance arc, Jonas and Emily were absolutely perfect for each other! But there was far too much going on top of that- search for a treasure, kidnapping of children, a second romance arc, an evil uncle, etc...
The Substitute by Mickey Miller

The Substitute, 

Mickey Miller 2.5/5

The premise of the book was great. The main characters had off the chart chemistry. Peyton was adorable and impossible not to love. But, there was not enough of him and his background could have been explored a lot more. The main reason I did not love this one though was that the main female character sounded like a teenager, characters that childish do not belong in adult romance books. 

Bearly Cooking by Moxie NorthBearly Cooking, 

Moxie North 4/5

Paranormal romance is my weakness! This one was a quick and easy shifter romance for a night when you don't want anything heavy or long to read. Had me smiling from beginning to end. Loggers, honey and werebears, what else could I ask for?
Your Dad Will Do by Katee Robert

Your Dad Will Do, 

Katee Robert 3/5

Erotica with a heavy dosage of taboo. Your dad Will Do was not for the faint hearted. I loved all the steaminess, the passions, the heat... I love  a good taboo too and it deliver in that front. But it was one of those erotica books that is 80% sex and has very little of a storyline.

Scoring With the Wrong Twin (WAGS, #1)Scoring With the Wrong Twin, 

Naima Simone 4.5/5

It has been a month since I read this one I still smiled when I read the title just now, that should say enough shouldn't it? Shy, awkward Sophia has a hard time telling her identical twin "no". When her sis asks her to swap places with her for a modelling shoot, she goes along. Enters in Zeph and one very hot case of mistaken identity...
The Demigod Complex (Brimstone Inc., #1)

The Demigod Complex, 

Abigail Owen 4/5

Super cute Novella that left me wanting for more. A water nymph is banished from her home and finds a job a demigod. Part of her job description is to not fall for him. I bet you can guess what happend?!

Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses #1) by Sav R. Miller

I was very excited about this read. The reviews are good, the people recommending it were people whose recommendations I have liked in the past. And in the end, at did like this one. But I will confess from the start that Promises and Pomegranates  did not blow me away. Blurb: Elena To most, Kal Anderson is a villain. Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares. Doctor Death. Hades incarnate. They say he stole me. Usurped my fiancĂ© and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises. Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was my choice to stay. Kal To most, Elena Ricci is an innocent. Goddess of springtime, lover of poetry, angel of my nightmares. Little one. Persephone personified. They say I ruined her. Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate. Embedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was...

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2)

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2) @glimpses_of_my_books These books are (to me at least) two VERY different books and the reason you should never give up on an author after just one book. I did not like Crow  one tiny bit. But I absolutely loved Reaper . One is a 1 star, while the other is a 4...  Let's start with the good first, Reaper . Ronan is likely to break your heart. Throughout the book we get snippets of his past, accounts of everything he had to go through before Crow and his mother find him and save him from the horrible life he was leaving. In a way, although I wasn't a fun of Crow in the first book, his love and care for Ronan had made me like him a little better. Ronan is not quiet, moody, and broody by choice. It is a consequence of all the things he has been through, the things I mentioned above that will break your heart... He is caring and loving, but he has no idea how to put those things in action. He is, in a way, one of the mo...

Cruel Prince (Royal Hearts Academy #1) by Ashley Jade

Continuing with my newest obsession, bully romance, we now have Jace. Insufferable, hateful, vengeful Jace. Blurb: I never thought I'd step foot in Royal Manor again. But four years later, here I am... back to finish my senior year at Royal Hearts Academy. And forced to face Jace Covington. My first friend. First crush. First kiss. The one I left behind. Only—he isn't the same boy I gave my heart to. This new Jace is as cruel as he is gorgeous. And he's determined to make my life a living hell. Along with the rest of his glorified family and crew of tyrants. They expect me to worship the ground they walk on like everyone else, but I'd rather eat dirt. If Jace Covington wants me gone...he'll have to try harder. Because I've never been the kind of girl to play by the rules. Jace is cruel. Not as cruel as some of the other bully romances I've been reading lately, but he is definitely not a nice guy. Burnt by his past, still hurting from everything that happened...
