Titanian's Phoenix (Titanian Chronicles, #1)Titanian’s Phoenix by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Victoria Saccenti has quickly become a household favorite for me! She has constructed this uniquely intricate fantasy existence that is scintillating and vivid to the imagination. The characters are well developed and connected with each providing their own individuality to the story itself.
As we meet the main character Maya she can be seen as strong, independent and loyal woman. Her life is her own, and she built her existence upon answering to no one. When she and her godmother Anna are abducted one night her life as she knows it changes dramatically. She learns that magic is real, she herself is apart of the supernatural world she always believed to be nonexistent, and that the fates have given her a very sexy Titanian mate named Soren.
When Soren meets Maya in a run down bar he is staking out he knows who she is, and he vows to cherish and protect her at all costs. As they explore their newfound fate together the steamy chemistry is undeniable, but Maya must first find a way to awaken her Phoenix as well as accept Soren as her mate. With members of the supernatural and human world being murdered, and Maya herself in danger because of who she is there is much that both Maya and Soren must overcome. This story is full of suspense, mystery, romance, and dramatic twists and turns that will make this book difficult to put down.

Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds, #1)Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this book after giving into peer pressure. I had to see what this book everyone was raving about. I’m sure glad I did. I love this firey princess named Rowan. She reminds me so much of my favorite Disney princess named Merida. Rowan has this strength about her that most heroines don’t start out with. She breaks down those walls like they’re nothing. She knows she doesn’t need protecting and when it comes to Theo, she realizes that she wants it, not out of necessity, but because she geninuinly wants it. Without giving too much away, if you are on the fence about this book like I was, you will not regret reading it. I know I didn’t. I’m waiting impatiently for the 2nd book to come out soon, and time isn’t going fast enough! I can’t wait to see what’s in store next for my favorite badass warrior princess!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Last Danann (Titanian Chronicles, Book 3) by Victoria Saccenti was really a wonderful addition to this paranormal romance series. I personally had the pleasure of reading these on order and it just made the plot that much more detailed and truly flowed beautifully. After reading it after one sitting I am hoping that Ms. Saccenti isn’t done with all of these wonderful characters and this beautiful plot line because this paranormal romance reader wants more. There is just so much wrapped up on this story that it was impossible to put it down from the dram, the mystery, the romance, the danger and so much more Ms. Saccenti really delivers it all. But if you want to know what happens with Kailen you’ll have to read The Last Danann (Titanian Chronicles, Book 3) by Victoria Saccenti for yourself to find out.

Kingdom of Embers (Kingdom Journals #1)Kingdom of Embers by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. One of the things I enjoy most about this author is her ability to pull me into her stories from the beginning. Her attention to details give her stories a realistic feel and make them really pop. This book is no different. I enjoyed this book and it is one of my favorites by her yet. This is a well written story about Alena and an ancient spell that needs to be reversed. She likes to ignore rules and pretend to be something she is not. What will happen when she realizes that she holds the key to reversing this spell? This is a great young adult story that took me on a magical adventures with characters that brought the story to life. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and kept me turning pages to the end. I really enjoyed the creative characters and what they brought to the story. The growth of the plot and characters made you want to read more. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Kingdom of Embers is the first enthralling book in the Kingdom Journals by Tricia Copeland. It is a wonderful YA paranormal fantasy- full of magic, vampires, witches, mystery, suspense, danger, drama, suspense, adventure, romance, and destiny. This book is so wonderfully descriptive and vividly detailed, bringing every scene to life before my eyes. The imagery is superb. The story is enchanting!
As I have discovered previously, Ms. Copeland is a talented author who never fails to deliver a complex and captivating story. I am enjoying this series and can’t wait to see where we go from here!

Thank you, Tricia Copeland!

Gets better and better
The third book in The Girl and The Raven series and the story just gets better and better. Lucy grows so much throughout this book and we learn a lot more about other characters too. I really love the authors writing style and getting chapters from other characters POV. If you haven’t read the first two books – I suggest starting there as it will give you a better understanding of the storyline and the series as a whole. Fingers crossed that there will be a book four.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow this book was absolutely amazing and I just could not put it down, so instead of trying to put it down I sat there and binged it in one sitting! This story was so interesting and not at all what I expected in a Cinderella retelling because it blew my expectations away. The three main characters in this book are Ashling, Prince Callum and his amazing husband, and I absolutely loved these characters. They were written so well! The world this retelling is told in however is much more than meets the eye and with fantastic world building you are thrown into a world where dark magic is what took her father from her and threatens to destroy everything good before the clock strikes midnight. I can not recommend this book enough! Definitely a must read!

Whew, I’m blown away! That cover drew me in, not going to lie. Don’t judge a book by its cover usually, but with this one – sure. Expertly written, I could not put it down. The atmosphere at the cottage, when the dream stuff is coming thru the barrier – I felt like I was there. I’m a sucker for great atmosphere, and Morrow knows how to create it. I love how the romance is represented in this book where they fall in love with the soul instead of pretty face. It came across as real and deep. This book is based on fairy tale of Cinderella, but def for an eighteen and older. I love the symbols in this book as well. I’m looking forward to the next story!!

Wow! I’m a sucker for re-imagined classics, especially when they’re on the darker side. This has to be my favorite retelling of a Disney type story. This book is kind of genre bending, so it should appeal to many different readers. It is gripping and well written. Pair that with being on the shorter side, and I can bet you’ll finish this book in one night. I definitely did!

So I picked up this randomly as a new read. I read it was a remake of Cinderella bit missed the bit about it being “dark” and lgbtq friendly. I thought I misread when the story mentioned the prince’s husband. I thought it was a misprint. Then I got to the first steam scene! It was very intense and but yet so passionate. I could see the love the prince and his hubby had for each other. THIS book with NOT disappoint!

I just finished reading Entwined and although it wasn’t your average romance. It was a really good read. I really enjoyed how it was a retelling of Cinderella but for adults. It was different and that’s what I like about it the most. Ashling is the Cinderella and Callum is the Prince Charming and Teague is the husband to the prince. Ashling goes to the ball in order to warn people about the creatures and didn’t plan on catching the eye of the prince. I look forward to reading the Ensnared and seeing what happens with Ashling and the guys.

I just loved this different aspect of “Cinderella” story that is a MMF Fantasy Romance. This book had me hooked from the first page and to the end!! AHHHHHH!!!! I definitely need more and cannot wait until book 2.

The retelling of this story of a beautiful ball in honor of Prince Callum and the Duke Teague for their wedding anniversary. This is where Prince Callum is also hoping to find a woman to bear children so his family can continue the bloodline. This is where the Prince meets Ashling aka Cinderella. She is there at the castle on a different mission, but the stars align and a kiss shared.

Will Prince Callum and Duke Teague find Ashling after she leaves the castle and then ends up running away from her abusive and evil step mother? There is so much I can share about this book but do not want to give anything away. This book is truly fantastic and surprised me in so many good ways. Loved this book!!

A.L. Morrow brings a whole new twist to Cinderella in this reimagined version of the fairytale. The love story begins with two princes. The need of a blood heir leads to them adding a princess to their dynamic. Ashling is essentially a maid to her step mother and step sisters. Her father walked into the woods with the monsters after a lifetime of being driven crazy by the nightmares. The princes are hot, handsome and completely in love with each other. Ashling dreams of love while battling the monsters in reality. The characters draw you in and hold you until the very end. I devoured this novel and I am so excited for the next one! LGBT 18+

One of my guilty pleasures is reimagined fairytale and this is a very unique one. I loved it. This incarnation of Cinderella is fast paced and definitely not a child’s story. There is lots of spice and chemistry. There are all the normal things like the wicked stepmother and the 2 spoiled stepsisters, the dashing prince and the slipper, but there is so much more! This version has a fierce and determined heroine! All it needed was to be longer!

I dove into this story completely blind. The cover alone got my interest. When I tell you I was surprised! In a good way. A great way. A.L. Morrow has such beautiful writing. Her descriptions of things, like the ball when Ashling and the prince were looking out at the party, has a whimsy and magic to it that kept me intrigued. What was shocking you may ask? The dynamic with Callum and Teague, and the reasoning for the ball. It was a Cinderella-esque story with so much more… spice. I loved it! The only negative is now I have to wait for more!

This book was a great read, quick and easy but full of all the right stuff. I didn’t realize there would be an erotica side to it, so that took me (pleasantly) by surprise. This is definitely not your childhood Cinderella story. The characters were well written and likeable and made you root for the heroes and truly hate the villains. The story follows a young Cinderella-like woman named Ashling who goes to a ball to warn the prince of impending danger and ends up leaving behind a shoe. Although it follows some of the plot of the original Cinderella story, this is anything but typical and has a lot to offer. The fantastic way the world is described and the idea behind the villains and how they seem to live and attack was exceptional. I really enjoyed this book and that’s why I gave it 5/5 stars. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next and how the plot and characters develop. Although the bones of the story follow the original fairy tale, I’m certain this author will make it as exciting as it would be if you were reading it all the first time. I really enjoyed this book and it only took me a couple days to read. Short, sweet and entertaining. What more can you ask for?

The Girl and the Demon: YA Paranormal Romance by Pauline Gruber is the third book in the Girl and the Raven series. I would definitely recommend reading this series in order as it follows the same main characters and would enhance your enjoyment of the series.
As soon as I started reading this book I was yet again pulled into the story. I thought it was entertaining well written. I instantly connect with the main character every time I pick up one of these books. There is something about her that is so engaging and relatable, even though she is much younger than my age range. The author has created a character that is interesting and really can appeal to all.
The story was great to read as well. It was exciting and felt as fresh as the first book did. This is a really strong series that I thoroughly enjoy and seems to get better with each book. I am looking forward to seeing what else this author can produce.

Entwined definitely didn’t disappoint, and I believe a lot of people will enjoy it. This is my first book by this author, and I can’t wait to read more! Can’t wait to read book 2 in this series!

Entwined by A.L. Morrow is a Cinderella Retelling and the first book in the Stone and Cinder series. It is the perfect book for anyone who has always wanted to read the ‘adult’ versions of their favorite fairy tales, a genre I have wanted to read for a long time and really happy now that I finally have.

Ashling, like Cinderella, is growing up living at her father’s house in the Autumnlands, where the morning of the ball at the palace celebrating Prince Callum and Duke Teague’s, his husband, third wedding anniversary, see’s something that can endanger the entire kingdom. Banned from her stepmother from going, she must race to the palace, where she meets Prince Callum and share some special moments together.

All I knew going into reading this was that it was based off of Cinderella, but after reading it, I can say that it more than exceeded my expectations! The MMF tale is full of steamy encounters and heart-racing action scenes that will leave you unable to put the book down from the moment you start to the moment you finish it, leaving you wondering what will happen next. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

This book is AMAZING!!!! I am not patiently waiting for the second book. I thought that I had seen all the twists and turns of the classic Cinderella story but man oh man, was I wrong. This book isn’t at all what you think it might be. Yes, it has some of the same plot lines of the classic Cinderella. The step sisters, the step mother, and the Prince. That is however, where the similarities end. This book took so many twists and turns. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen next but I was never disappointed by what did happen. The book has so much suspense that I was constantly turning the page to see what happens. I couldn’t stop reading this book once I started. I am normally not a fan of fantasy but this book might have made me change my mind. Not only does it contain fantasy but it is also pretty steamy. I think the biggest mistake I made when getting started with this book was going into it thinking it would be just another version of the classic Cinderella. So, if you could go into this book knowing that it will have some fundamentals but is not anything like the classic Cinderella, you should be amazed.

This is a titillating and tantalizing retelling of Cinderella. I love reading reinvented fairytales and this is like no other that I have read. This story is so sexy! The author added some monsters in the mix and this has become one of my favourites.

Although Ashling is disheartened and disconsolate, she still sees beauty in the world around her. She made a promise to her father before he disappeared and years later, she loyally has kept her word. It’s admirable. She is gentle and strong at the same time. Her stepsisters and stepmother are just as horrible as in the original. Her stepmother probably more so. There was one scene where my heart broke for Ashling.

There was more to this book than just finding true love and that’s what made it all the more interesting. The only thing that disappointed me was the ending. That’s because I truly thought that this was a stand-alone. Now I have to wait for part two. Please hurry Ms. Morrow.
