My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Each book can be read as a standalone and I love that in a series! Each story is unique and captivating as well as being realistic. You can really imagine each relationship unfolding in the time period. I really love each character and being able to “see” them develop and come together for a happy ending. Definitely would recommend and will to friends and family.

Touched (Elemental Passions #1)Touched by Skye Turner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed Touched from the very start! Curious fairies and everything mythical is where it’s at. Definitely not your typical romance! Getting to know the characters and also go on their journey to love and battling their enemies is a rollercoaster. I love getting the perspective of both main characters. Can’t wait for the next one!

Such a great addition to the series! I was hoping Jake would get his time at being the good guy after his rough first appearance. I have loved this series from the get and love it more and more with each book. I’m sad the next one is going to be the last but I am also excited!

I loved the variety of different stories. I can’t lie there were parts of some scenarios that, for me, were hard to get into but overall great stories. I loved the different lengths and depths and most were super easy to get into! Would definitely recommend!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was able to read this in a day. I just couldn’t put it down! The development of the story is so natural and realistic you can’t help but be sucked in and held there. The scenes are hot but not too detailed and drawn out. I absolutely loved the character development and relationship development between the main characters and everyone around them. Would highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not only do these books flow well together but they are very well written. There are so many nuances and I felt like you really get a good sense of who everyone is and their motivations. The relationship development between the main characters in both books really draw you in to the story and make you want to know what happens.

As with the first duet in the series, these books fit very well together. The main story lines are very similar but different. I feel as though the development of the relationships between the characters is a touch unrealistic. Overall really good books that go well together, would recommend!

A King So Savage (The Savage Duet #1)A King So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was so unexpected in a good way. I could not put it down. Savage is a very apt description of so much in this story, it is not for the faint of heart. I’m not one that typically likes degrading in any way but there’s a sort of redemption that makes it not so bad. I’m a fan of BDSM novels so I understand the dynamic that is trying to be achieved. Even though I’m not a fan of some aspects I understand the background of Kingston and Ava and I love the author’s creativity! I absolutely could not wait to be able to read more every day and I’m sad I don’t gave a release date yet on book 2!

What a wonderful addition to the series!! Maddie and David’s story flows so well with the continuation of all the others. Having read the previous books in the series there were some redundant parts but necessary for someone who started with this book. I’m not sure I like the ending because it just, well, ends. There’s no summation or even a fin. Overall great book!

I really like the different take on the supernatural! The setting being in Australia is a new one for me as well and I really enjoyed it. I do feel like there are a lot more unanswered questions than most of the time when there’s going to be another book but that could just be me. I feel like the character development and relationships are very realistic and I was sucked in immediately. Can’t wait to learn more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really didn’t know what I was getting into with this book and I loved it! Even though I have only read this one and didn’t even realize there were SEVEN previous novels in the series I didn’t feel lost or confused at all. I love the different take on vampire culture and mortals being aware of their presence and attempting to live in harmony. I can’t lie the ending was very abrupt and it surprised me. I was all hunkered down to keep reading and then I couldn’t turn the pages anymore. I said out loud “ Oh! It’s over?!?!” Can’t wait to find out the rest of the story!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really liked this book. However I was unaware that there were 6 in the series prior to reading. I did get lost in the details of who was who and where things were happening. Despite that I really loved the relationship between Celestina and Frank, how they grew together throughout and eventually came together in the end. Hopefully I will be able to read the rest of the series in the future and connect the dots.

C.L. Schneider has done it again!! So much detail put in without it being distracting or boring. Every detail matters. I thoroughly enjoyed this next leg in Jarryd and Ian’s journey across the lands. So much more growth as characters and relationships and it all ties into the original series. Absolutely loved it!

So original! Drew me in from the first and kept me interested. Very original storyline! The only thing I wish were different is shorter time skips. The gaps seem to include critical points of character relationship building that just appear to be there but you weren’t told how it happened. I love the characters and flow of the book all together and can’t wait for the next one!!

Grand Slam (Ground Rule Book 3)Grand Slam by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was a little skeptical going into reading this book since I haven’t read the 2 preceding in the series. I was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t feel like I was missing anything by not having read the others. I loved the storyline and main characters. I do wish there was more background than there was, more detail in childhood and so on with both main characters. Yes you get the over all picture but I feel like it was glanced over and just got the bare minimum for the story to work. Kind of a spoiler but I didn’t like the drama with the brother as there wasn’t a whole lot of detail and it could have been better. Overall I really liked this book and finished it in about 5 hours or maybe a little less.

I can’t think of a single thing I didn’t like about this book. There is something to be said about chemistry from the start. I loved the way the storyline played out. Some of the action parts I had to read a couple times to get the full picture mentally but I read this book in one day. I simply could not put it down. I really really really hope Rose and Titans story continues!
