This was a really fun and cute instalove romance mainly set in Hope Peak, Montana between Sawyer & Hailey but it also sets up Lilah Harts next series of books set in Seduction Summit, North Carolina during the baking competition that Hailey was a part of. I look forward to reading about Hailey's roommate Dakota in Grumpy Mountain Man.

I enjoyed this quick standalone instalove story about Nick & Waverly and seeing how the two of them got together. The epilogue at the end was a cute chapter and a nice way to wrap up this series as well as mentioning what the next series set in Seduction Summit is going to be about.

 This was my first book by Celeste Baxendell and I really enjoyed this Retelling of Robin Hood. The characters were all so well written and had layers to their personalities that made them seem real and I enjoyed seeing how the relationship between Robin and Prince John evolved as they both got to know each other as well as how they developed as individual characters as the story progressed. The epilogue at the end was also really fun and I plan to look into reading more by this author in the future. 

This was my first book by Jacque Stevens and I thought it was a very enjoyable Retelling of Puss in Boots with several interesting characters and excellent world building to draw the reader into the story. I loved getting to know Archie and Ainsley. I also really liked Leo and Tabitha and am looking forward to reading more about their story in The Soulless Prince: A Tam'lin Retelling.

This was a really enjoyable Hermione & Snape story and I love Hermione's daughter Samantha in this story as well as how Snape and Samantha interact.

I really enjoyed this story and getting to know Finnar better after his brief introduction in Tomlin although it isn't necessary to read that book first and this story is a standalone in a whole new series. This book was so much fun and I loved the way it blended a Fairy Tale Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with an alien shifter romance so well. Scarlett and Finnar made a really nice couple and I enjoyed getting to know them both. The epilogue at the end was fun and I am really looking forward to continuing this series as it blends two genres I love (Fairy Tale Retelllings and Alien Romances) together so well. The next book Alien Huntsman: An Alien Shifter Romance is supposed to be about Scarlett's friend Tessa & Korrin so I look forward to getting to know them both better and maybe even see more about how Finnar & Scarlett are doing in the future.

This Volume was another great edition to this series. The Valentines Day chapter was filled with humorous chaos and extremely fun to read. Overall this volume was very well written and a very enjoyable read.

Contains Chapters: 6 - 9
Chapter 6.) 2/14 The Chocolate Incident
Chapter 7.) Happy Birthday
Chapter 8.) No Dunking in the Game of Love?!
Chapter 9.) Who'll Be the Student Body President?!

This was another fun volume and I am enjoying getting to know several of the characters better. It was also interesting to see how Morio and Shishio met and more of their history in this volume. I look forward to continuing this series and getting to know all the different characters better.
