Review: Brazen and the Beast

Brazen and the Beast by Sarah MacLean
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Whit and Hattie are such precious cinnamon rolls. My god they play fierce but underneath they are too softies that are going to spend the rest of their lives rescuing strays, feeding orphans and basically making the life at the docks and Covent Garden better for everyone. I loved them both SO much.

and Ewan. OMG Ewan you're my favorite since Day 1 and I cannot wait for your book

Review: Angel in a Devil's Arms

Angel in a Devil's Arms by Julie Anne Long
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One of my favourite reads of the year. I was instantly lured by Angelique and Lucien's story. I enjoyed their backgrounds and how they deal with their feelings for each other. There is so much heartbreak in both of them and while Lucien is keen on revenge, he's also able to see past that and realize that there is probably more out there for him.
I loved Angelique's fierce spirit and the way she's determined to live the peaceful life she'd chosen. Her quiet strentght is beautiful to read.
and I simply adored how Lucien's half brother refused to be left out of the family.
A great read!

Review: Tangled Up In Christmas

Tangled Up In Christmas by Lisa Renee Jones
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I quite liked this one. I had read the previous one and I was excited to read about Roarke and Hannah. There were several things I enjoyed about this book: it's a second chance romance and while the circumstances that tore them apart in the first place are a little contrived, there was an undercurrent of real problems that both Roarke and Hannah tried to work through when they meet again. I liked that they acknowledge those issues and try to address them.
My only criticism would be that it felt too short and that in some cases I was told more than shown their feelings and actions. I would have liked a little more length in the novel that explored the back and forth between them as they met again. The resolution felt too rushed.

Review: American Love Story

American Love Story by Adriana Herrera
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Don't cheat yourself out of the happy future you're fighting for"

A fantastic read. I'm new to the series and the author and I didn't have a problem in following the book as all the information I need for these characters is included in the book in a seamless way. I was drawn by both Patrice and Easton, and how their backgrounds play a role in who they are and their character traits. Patrice's origins and his family's struggles and how much he needs to continue pushing for opportunities it was heartbreaking and empowering at the same time. Adriana Herrera has a wonderful way to weave in such important topics in a way that is organic and real and it makes you feel so much for the characters and their struggles. I loved the conflict she portrays between the main couple and the steps taken to overcome it. Easton's pain broke my heart into pieces and I adored his "I'm not perfect." speech.
Overall, a beautiful story of two people falling in love and overcoming their obstacles.
I look forward to the next one!!!
