Romance Under AquariusRomance Under Aquarius by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a truly amazing mythology romance. I really enjoyed how different this book is. It’s the perfect combination of mythology, astrology, the lost city of Atlantis and merpeople. There’s also romance which I absolutely adore. Maris has had her heart broken by the man she was due to marry. She takes off from Atlantis and finds a man drowning. She joins him on an adventure and as much as they try to fight their growing feelings for each other it seems like fate is bringing them together. It won’t be an easy feat to make their relationship work though because she is a Princess and is expected to marry someone of like status. Will Maris follow her heart or tradition? This is one unique romance that you won’t want to miss!

This is such a unique MC book, and I absolutely loved it! Dwarf is not the typical tall biker. He’s on the shorter side and because of that women have looked him over many times.They have always gone for his tall brothers in the MC but Raven is different. Fate brings them together and I really enjoyed the paranormal twist in this one. There’s plenty of action, romance and twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. I absolutely love the chemistry between Dwarf and Raven and how she looks beneath surface appearances to see what a big heart he has. This is one book definitely not to be missed.

Finally a woman’s point of view is offered. I really enjoyed this book immensely. So many times, myths like this often neglect the female point of view. It was so refreshing to see that changed here. A modern twist on classic tales kept me glued to the pages, eager to read more. Each story tells of the difficulties that each face throughout their journey in such a way that you find yourself immersed in that world. The details are so exquisite and the author really paints a picture so that it feels as if you actually there. I highly recommend this book.

Is it finally Gage’s turn? This is the third book in the series where Gage is part of a love triangle and I have to say I was cheering for him from the very first page. He deserves to be happy too! He steps up to help Juliet and Ten when he sees the trouble they’ve gotten into. They’re too innocent to get wrapped up in the awful underground cage fighting life and he offers to help them. It isn’t long before the three of them are heating things up between the sheets but he starts to fall for Juliet pretty hard. He has no idea that she’s falling just as hard and he feels like the outsider looking in once again. There are some really scary twists and turns in this book and a few misunderstandings but the end makes all the heartache getting there so worthwhile! I have to say this was my favorite of the trilogy but the other two books were also amazing so if you haven’t read them yet I highly recommend that you do.
