Three Mages and a Margarita (The Guild Codex: Spellbound #1) by Annette Marie

This book (like it’s female MC) was quirky, funny, and fun. I finished the book in one sitting!

Even though I really liked this unique book, with its great and lovable characters, I’m not sure if or when I’ll read book 2.

The thing that this book lacked for me, was romance. The author states that this isn’t going to become a RH, however, there’s a handful of guys, and I’m fearful that eventually there could be a love triangle or worse, and that’s such a huge turnoff for me.

I especially don’t want to wait for at least three books or so before any true romantic relationships blossom, which from the reviews I’ve skimmed, seems to be the case.

My Rating: ★★★★

The Hurricane by R.J. Prescott

I’ve been on a contemporary romance kick lately, especially ones that feature protective-alpha-type guys. However, I can be pretty picky when it comes to those types of guys. I don’t like the super possessive, irrationally jealous, asinine kinds of guys who are always trying to control the girl. There was one of those kinds of guys in the book that I read before Hurricane, and he just completely turned me off from the story. Hurricane’s Cormac O’Connell was a perfect example of the guys I like in this particular genre. He was a bit possessive, and could get easily worked up when other guys showed interest in Emily, but he didn’t go off the deep end running his mouth, getting into bullsh*t fights, and fooling around to try and hurt Emily (I absolutely HATE when that last bit happens in a book. I never fully forgive any MMC who does that crap.) O’Connell was persistent though. And patient. And sweet. And I pretty much fell for him completely when I read this line: If you need ...

Hidden Huntress (The Malediction Trilogy #2) by Danielle L. Jensen

It’s been over a year since I first read Stolen Songbird. I had bought the whole trilogy with the intention of binging, but unfortunately, the first time I tried reading Hidden Huntress, I only got a couple chapters in before I lost interest and decided to take an indefinite break from the series. A few days ago I decided that I wanted to finally finish the Malediction trilogy, starting with a reread of book one. Stolen Songbird was just as captivating and enchanting as I remembered, so I started Hidden Huntress immediately so I could try and hold on to the overall excitement for the series. I remember putting Hidden Huntress aside the first time because the plot was taking too long to ramp up. Second time around, I was easily able to get past the first couple boring chapters and dive into the story. And even though I had already figured out one of the biggest reveals by the end of the Hidden Huntress, I really enjoyed the smaller reveals and the way the story twisted and turned. The r...

Lick (Stage Dive #1) by Kylie Scott

I devoured Lick in just one sitting which I’m sure may come as a surprise given that I’m only rating the book 2.5 stars. Lick is my first accidentally-got-married story. I happened across it while browsing the Kindle store, and after reading the first chapter that was pasted in the synopsis, I felt immediately compelled to buy the book. The book starts with Evelyn waking up with a massive hangover in the bathroom of her Vegas motel room. Her BFF Lauren is nowhere in sight, but a very attractive, attentive, sweet and complete mystery man is. Evelyn is shocked when she realizes she doesn’t remember a damn thing from the night before, including David (the sweet mystery guy) she married. I was pretty disappointed that this book didn’t have dual POV. After reading the first chapter, what I really wanted was to get inside the head of David. Evelyn was super drunk and not completely herself when she got married in Vegas — David however – was. I wanted desperately to know why some heartthrob ...
