The Sacrifice (Dragonpets Book 1) by R. L. S. Hoff – Review by Ashley Sugar

The Sacrifice (Dragonpets #1)The Sacrifice by R.L.S. Hoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m not usually one to read fantasy but I really enjoyed this book! I wish there was more action but I loved the dialogue. Slow burn but a page turner for me. Characters are loveable and having the dragon turn out to be nice? Who would’ve thought lol. Also the author does real well describing settings and I could easily picture everything going on inside my mind. I’m happy I gave this book a shot.

Revenge HoneymoonRevenge Honeymoon by K.J. Gillenwater
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ooooooh revenge honeymoon was great! 2 best friends decide to go on the one friends honeymoons still, even though her soon to be husband left her at the altar. Emily wanted ruby to still have the time of her life even though her heart is broken. But what Emily doesn’t realize is that she will find true love on the cruise ship during this “fake” honeymoon. The 2 girls pretend to be married and it’s such a funny book! I love a good rom com! There’s drama, heartbreak! But there’s also a lot of love! Author writes the characters great and you fall in love with them instantly! I love reading a story about 2 best friends and seeing how good they are to one another. You have to have at least ONE great friend in your life! Amazing book!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this book so much! I knew I was going to love it after just reading a few pages! I love a good Christmas romance and now I’m getting even more into the holiday spirit! Connor and Sienna are perfect for each other! Connor was in a terrible accident and his life changed forever. Sienna was born the way she is and that doesn’t stop her from achieving everything she has wanted! But when her mother makes her feel more like an object than her daughter/human being…it makes sienna realize she wants something else in life. A life of happiness and freedom. Connor and sienna meet at a ski lodge around the holidays and at first they teased one another but it turned into something more than they ever thought. Short read and I loved every page! Highly recommend!!!!!

I’ll be checking more of JRP’s books!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed every page of this book! My first book by I.M. Foster and I was not disappointed! It’s not a genre I typically read but I’m glad I gave it a shot. Murder mystery’s definitely keep you on your toes! Making you wonder who did it and when you think you finally figure it out…things change. The author has a way of holding your attention! The dialogue, the suspense, the way things are described…so good! If you want a good murder mystery with suspense and drama, read this! And I’m a sucker for dialogue and there was so much in this book.

Faultless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #1)Faultless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this book a lot! It’s full of love and it’s so heartwarming! Ted was serving time in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He hasn’t seen the love of his life in YEARS! When he returns home will things pick back up where they left off? The characters are all great! You can’t help but to fall in love with them all! Teds father and siblings are so welcoming and loving and they’re all about family! I love reading books like that! There’s also some drama and it made me so mad with everything that TED had to go through! He’s a good guy and he keeps getting dealt a horrible hand. But he’s strong and he’s keeping his head high! There’s also spice and who doesn’t love that? If i could give this book 10 stars I would! I read this book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. Huge page turner! I’ll be reading more books by KG Fletcher!

And Then She FellAnd Then She Fell by Dreena Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Woah, I didn’t expect that ending!! Im shocked actually. This is my first book by Dreena and it was such a huge page turner for me. Book is about a mother who’s daughter died from falling off a balcony. But she starts wondering if she fell or if someone pushed her. So she starts talking to her friends, her ex boyfriend and she’s starting to question what really happened! The way Dreena writes and the way she explains things in great detail, is simply amazing. Love love love her writing. If you want a book with suspense, this is the one for you. You think one person is a suspect but then you think someone else is too. You never really know what someone is capable of. I really enjoyed this book and I’ll be reading more of this authors work!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“I loved you yesterday, Princess. But today..” my gosh this book! I loved the first book but THIS book?! EVEN BETTER! Love the writing so much! Huge page turner for me and I finished this in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. I wasn’t sure what to think of Austin in the first book but I absolutely ADORE him in this book. Him and Casey are simply perfect!!! He thought he knew what love was..he really did. But he didn’t figure out the true meaning until he fell for Casey girl 😍 the way he is towards her, the way he lifts her up, the way he sincerely BELIEVES in her…is so heartwarming. But the way Casey BELIEVES in Austin is just as amazing. I love Casey! She’s my favorite in the books, as well as Lauren! But Austin and Casey have some important choices to make. Austin thinks he knows what’s best…will he screw everything up because of that? As much as I loved this book I was so mad about 83% into it 😭 to the point where I want to throw my Kindle across the room!!! Like what is happening right now? Julie, I may need therapy after that twist of events 🤣 BUT I live for the drama apparently Lol. If you love a book with laughter, sadness, spice, LOVE, drama…read this! So so good and you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait for the last book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this book so much! Huge page turner for me and I couldn’t put it down. I’ve been in a reading slump and this was the book to pull me out of it! 😍😍 The connection Lisa has with her group of friends is absolutely AMAZING. The way they’re always looking out for each other and being their for one another is simply heart warming. Lisa had a rough child hood growing up. She didn’t have the family a lot of kids have. She was in and out of foster homes. Until one day as an adult, she met this group of 3 girls and they were inseparable ever since. You don’t see friendships as great as theirs and I adored every page I read. Then Lisa meets Ryan and it’s love at first sight! Lisa doesn’t think she deserves love and she thinks everyone is going to leave her, but Ryan makes it a point to make her BELIEVE she deserves everything good in life. It’s a really good book and I can’t wait for the second book to come out!!! I’ll be counting down the days. Highly recommend everyone to read this if you love a good rom com 😉

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this historic mystery read! These books aren’t my typical books I would pick up, but I’m glad I did! It held my attention till the very last page. And there’s romance? I’m a sucker for a good love story! Lotties sexual preference isn’t what was really heard of back in the day. So when someone finds out she’s bisexual, they want to use it to their own advantage! It’s a spin off from the notebook mystery series so I LOVED reading about Emma and Jeremy again. I’ve read one book from that series and I really enjoyed that one too! Highly recommend this!

Breathe UnderwaterBreathe Underwater by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Probably one of the longest mafia romance books I’ve read. I enjoyed it though. Evelyn is a bit stalkerish but I won’t judge you girl lol. Her and Damien had a thing as teenagers and he ends up leaving. 13 years later and they’re reunited. There’s angst. Drama. Spice. The drama can be a bit much and some things were over the top, but if a book can bring out all kinds of emotion for a reader, I’m here for it. Damien is a bit of a dick but Evelyn loves him. It’s entertaining and emotional and If you love a good push and pull romance, this is for you.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, what a book! I loved this story so damn much! It was intense, thrilling, terrifying and the way Brett had such great descriptions of everything, made it that much better. The fighting scenes, the way he explained how someone was hurt. Simply amazing. Dex is a badass and I loved every character in this book. The plot, characters, all of it..simply great. And Brett has author notes after each chapter and I LOOOVED that. I’ve never read a book with that in it. Gives such great insight on the story and why he wrote what he wrote. My first book by Brett and I’ll definitely be checking out his others. Was a real page turner for me and I read it in one sitting. Every time I tried to put my kindle down to do something, I picked it back up. It was THAT good that I had to continue and finish to the end. HIGHLY recommend.

Such an intense story and it had a hold on me from the very beginning. I didn’t realize this was a series so I didn’t read the first book, but I will be ASAP. I loved this book and the characters are lovable and the plot is just as good! Both of the main characters have been through some difficult times in their lives but that didn’t stop them! I went into this book blind and I think you should too! I always say going in blind is the best way to start a book, keeps it interesting and more surprising! I will be reading book 1..because I loved the thrill, drama and suspense of this book! I need more!

I love Ellie and Raf’s story so much! Raf is best friends with Ellie’s brother. She’s the younger sister. They both have had feelings for each other for SO long but never acted on it. Raf always made sure to look out for her though and was always there for her and a little overbearing, lol. The backstory for Raf is pretty deep, I wasn’t expecting that. But I love it at the same time. He doesn’t think he deserves anything good..because of his past. Book took a turn I wasn’t expecting either! Suspenseful about 70% into the book and it’s SO good. A lot of angst in the beginning and a lot of spice 😉 towards the end. Great characters and great story! Read this in one sitting!

Should know there’s got to be a catch to everything lol. And you never really know how good you have it in life until things change. Love the characters, the plot, all of it! Love the writing and it kept me interested since the first chapter! So interested that I finished the book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend

Jared is this rockstar/rebel. He doesn’t get close to people. He’s grumpy. He’s distant. He suffers with anxiety. He doesn’t want to admit his feelings for Els. They have a past but no one would guess that with the way they’re both bickering at each other all the time. Els doesn’t want to like Jared because he’s a jerk to her, but her heart says otherwise. So when they’re both snowed in, will they be able to finally get along? Or will they constantly be at each others throats? The drama, the angst?! I love it so much!! I love the characters, I love Jared and his grumpy self and i all around love the story! Gets you to understand that even rockstars can’t have it rough. You never can really know how someone is TRULY feeling just from how they act around you or in the public eye. It’s easy to hide the pain and shame you live with. I really enjoyed this book! And I’m a sucker for the spicy scenes! 😉 can never have enough of that! Highly recommend!

I read this book in one sitting..I couldn’t put it down. The intensity had me hooked. I couldn’t imagine trying to survive during an apocalypse! Especially with my young daughter. Reading this had my heart racing because I kept picturing myself in Amy’s shoes and having to protect my child from actual life now. It’s terrifying. It’s heartbreaking. I cried so much at the end! Being a mother and reading this just had me in my feelings! And If you can bring out my emotions, that’s a damn good book to me! Highly recommend this!
