Guarding Suzannah by Norah Wilson

Guarding Suzannah (To Serve and Protect, #1)Guarding Suzannah by Norah Wilson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really liked this one! I'm glad that I decided to read it, I really enjoyed the characters Suzannah had the perfect blend of vulnerability and strength, and John (Quig) was just perfect for her. The characters had strong personalities, and I most definitely didn't see the ending. I guessed the perp, but how the perp is discovered, I definitely didn't see coming. Wonderful read.

A Lot Like Love by Julie James

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Lord, I love Julie James. She writes such wonderful romantic suspense with her own brand of humor, wit, and sarcasm that makes her books so unique. This book was absolutely no exception. Before this book I only had about 5 quotes selected on my kindle, after this book there were many more! I adored Jordan and Nick, and Nick's don't-fuck-with-me face, was just one example of James' sense of humor.

I enjoy well-written bdsm stories. I've got a pretty open mind and I like to push it's limits.

I wish I had never decided to read this book. It started out good, you could feel the connection between Anders and Maia, but as the book went on, the connection disappeared. It disappeared until Anders was an egotistical jackass and Maia was...nothing. Literally nothing, there was NOTHING there. 24/7 TPE is acceptable to me, but when you don't take better care of your slave than you would of your dog, when you treat her WORSE than your pets, that's when I have a problem. When you punish your slave for NO reason that's when we start getting into the abuse spectrum. When you beat your slave because you 'had a bad day' that's a problem. I just want Maia to stand up and walk out, surely anyone would treat her better than Anders. Anders is a pitiful excuse for a human being, and his friends aren't much better.

This kindle version of this book it rife with spelling errors and poor formatting.

Read this book at your own risk, but don't expect a happy book by any means.

This was actually pretty good. Gabriel was kind of a wimp, definitely not Alpha but the characters were interesting and Maddy was a good heroine. She had all this power but it freaked her out and she couldn't control it, not like your usual PNR heroine.

Quicksilver by Amanda Quick

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Quick/Castle/Krentz whatever, really needs to get her history correct. I'm not talking world history, I'm talking her OWN history. I've noticed in all these Arcane society novels none of the history makes sense, it's like she forgets what she already wrote. She needs to keep notes. However, this was a good book, as they all are.

Blood Bonds by Adrienne Wilder

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book was surprisingly good. I was a little sketchy about it, but I am super glad I read it. Haley is a dragon, and it's one of those 'I'm going to be super powerful and everyone fears me.' book, kinda. Haley is soo outrageously normal. She cries, she makes bad decisions, the whole bunch. Now one thing to consider is that the dragons are relatively free with their bodies, this isn't a romance book, touch is extraordinarily important to them, you do the math. I was really glad I read it, and plan to read more of this author and this series (if there are more, which there should be.)

A Secret Life by C.J. Archer

A Secret Life (Lord Hawkesbury's Players #1)A Secret Life by C.J. Archer

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


First things first: The author contacted me to see if I would review this (since I've enjoyed her previous work) I agreed and she sent me a copy.



Now onto the review:



I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I read it all in one sitting. The author really made you feel for the characters. However, I hated the antagonists more than I like the protagonists. I wanted to slap Min's father, throttle Style and stomp all over Ned. That being said, I did like Min and Blake, they seemed to connect from the first, I liked Min's spunk, and who doesn't love a sexy pirate? I'm sorry, Privateer .



I highly recommend giving this a go, it was fun, interesting, and engaging.
