This is the 4th book of the Cosmic Mates series but works as a standalone and was the first in this series that I have read. I really enjoyed this story and getting to know Mike Fury and Varity Vale as well as Verity's son Brody. I look forward to reading more books from this series in the future, both future books as well as backtracking to read the ones I missed.

I enjoyed reading this manga classic version of Sense and Sensibility and thought the art was well drawn. I plan to look into reading more of these manga classics in the future.

This was an interesting and quick Retelling of Red Riding Hood and I enjoyed getting to know both Lily and Vail as the story unfolded. I have enjoyed each of the 4 standalone Romantasy Retellings in this series so far and look forward to seeing which Fairy Tale is next in this series.

I loved this story and getting to know Rudi, Clarice, Lina, and all the other supporting characters in this story. The fokuso that they adopted as a pet was cute too. I have loved all of the Sci-Fi Holiday Romances that I have read by Honey Phillips and this one did not let me down. I look forward to reading The Knotty Clause: A SciFi Alien Warrior Holiday Romance when it is released.

This was a quick and fun holiday read set in Rosewood Ridge, Tennessee. I enjoyed getting to know both Ian & Kayleigh in this story as well as Kayleigh's grandmother. The epilogue at the end was a cute addition. I look forward to read more of this series.

I really enjoyed this story and the characters Rosy and Char. Rosy was a nymph and I haven't read many books with nymphs in them so that was fun and Char was a Dragon shifter. I enjoyed seeing how they grew closer as they fixed Rosy's inherited farm up while she was learning about her heritage and abilities. I enjoyed this book just as much as all the books published under this author's alter ego Robin O’Connor that I have read so far. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

I received a free ARC of this book when it was previously published in the Boundless Enchantment Anthology and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was my first book by Raven Moon and I thought it was a fun instalove standalone novella. I enjoyed getting to see how things worked out for Beth and Wyatt and thought the epilogue 6 months later was a nice way of wrapping up their story.

This was another fun addition to this series of standalone instalove short stories and the epilogue did a good job of tying everything up and giving us a peak into how everyone from the series was doing in the future. I liked getting to know Tyler & Bianca and seeing how they get together. I am also looking forward to the upcoming Rosewood Ridge Christmas series.
