Blake and the Beast

4.5 stars.

I really enjoyed this original retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
The world building is done extremely well and the two main characters of Blake and Archer are so likeable. They have an undeniable attraction from the very first meeting and things soon get hot and steamy. Throw in an extremely interesting cast of side characters, some action, some feels, minimal angst, an intriguing plot and a hard earned HEA, and you’re left with an exciting urban fantasy read.
I’m looking forward to more in this universe.


The Cat Returns to Adderley. By Sam Burns.

4.5 stars.

What a treat this very original retelling of Puss In Boots is.
Luke and Wentworth/Alistair do have a hurdle of two to jump over before they get their well deserved HEA. Circumstances leave Luke homeless with very little funds, but he does have his cat. So begins a magical journey involving horrible brothers, a loving sister and a dust filled house.
A very enjoyable and engaging read that gave me some feels and left me overly happy at the end.
