This was another great addition to this series and like the three previous books it can be read as a standalone book but will be enjoyed more when read in order. This book is about Cosima and her working through her past while being courted by her Naga mate Zsekhet. I really enjoyed this story as well as Zsekhet's loyal dragon companion Sesethul. I look forward to continuing this series and finding out what happens next with the Naga that showed up at the end of this book as well as learning more about the various characters in this world. Hopefully Reid, Corin, and Min-Ji will get their stories told soon.

This is the third book in the Seven Kingdoms Series and is a Retelling of The Dirty Shepherdess. This was my first time reading anything based on this fairy tale and isn't a story I am familiar with but I did enjoy this book and it's characters. I also hadn't read any of the other books in this series yet and while I am sure I would have enjoyed certain aspects of this book more if I had it can be read as a standalone. I look forward to backtracking to read the previous books in this series.

This was my first book by Bridget Blake and I really enjoyed her characters and the story. Casey's nephew Oscar was really cute. This was a fun and fairly quick read and I plan to look into more by this author in the future.

This book was about Piper's friend Layna and Grayson's neighbor Noah getting together while Layna is house sitting for Piper and Grayson. Like the rest of the books in this series it is a standalone instalove romance. I didn't enjoy this one as several of the others but it was still a good read and I look forward to reading more from this series.

This is the first book in the Rough & Ready Country Series as well as my first book by Engrid Eaves and I thought it was a very enjoyable instalove standalone novella with interesting characters and a good plot. This book is about Alex and Maksim and I enjoyed getting to know the two of them and thought the epilogue was a good way of wrapping up their story. The next book in the series Love at First Campfire: A Curvy Girl / Mountain Man Romance is about Maksim’s brother Logan and Alex’s best friend Jess.

This was another great addition to this series and like the two previous books it can be read as a standalone book but will be enjoyed more when read in order. Naomi & Krashe have a lot of adventures in this book and I LOVE Kiwi the little pet that Naomi finds and bonds with. He was just so cute and sweet sounding. I look forward to continuing this series and learning more about the various characters in this world.

This was an interesting story but had some confusion about who was talking occasionally. Most of the story takes place in the past but it does flip between 1978 and 1998 periodically.

I really enjoyed reading Grayson & Piper's story in this book and thought it was an excellent addition to this series of standalone instalove romances. The epilogue at the end was cute and I am looking forward to reading the next book about Piper's friend Layna.
