This retelling of "Sleeping Beauty" was interesting and the characters were well written. I also look forward to reading more about this world and the characters in it. I am also curious to see if Rosamond and Siward's children are brought up in any of the future books in some way.

🛸 Awakened by the Heir: A SciFi Alien Romance. (Eudoxia Book #1)
This was the first book by Vilyn DeVine that I have read as well as being the first book of the Eudoxia series and I really enjoyed the characters as well as the story. Kazia and Zadoc's story was interesting plus the epilogue gives a peak at the next book Saved by the Bounty Hunter: A SciFi Alien Romance with Kazia's mother Rose and Dash which I look forward to reading.

🛸 Saved by the Bounty Hunter: A SciFi Alien Romance (Eudoxia Book #2)
This was the second book of the Eudoxia series and was about Kazia's mother Rose and Dash the bounty hunter that was sent to protect her in book 01 Awakened by the Heir: A SciFi Alien Romance.. This was a good quick read with nice story flow that kept me invested in the characters. The epilogue sets things up for the next book in the Taken by the Spare: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance and I look forward to seeing what happens next in this series.

🛸 Taken by the Spare: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance (Eudoxia Book #3)
This was the third book of the Eudoxia series and was about Penny and Lacerta. Penny was a guard for the prison ship that we heard about in the second book Saved by the Bounty Hunter: A SciFi Alien Romance and Lacerta has been cursed to not remember anything about his life before 10 years ago until he meets his fated mate. Their story is a fun, fast paced read that I enjoyed and the epilogue lets us know who the focus of the next book will be. I look forward to seeing what happens next in this series in Eudoxia: The Hidden Sun when it comes out.

This was the first Retelling of Swan Lake that I have read and it was a really entertaining story full of wonderful and complex characters. I look forward to reading more from this series as well as looking into what other books this author has written.

I am not very familiar with the original story of the Goose Girl but I found this story very enjoyable with great characters and an entertaining plot. This was the first book in the series I read and I plan to look into reading more from the series.

Delphi's sister Astrid's story is in Book 02: Masquerade

This is the first book I have read by Katie O'Connor and I really enjoyed. All the characters were a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting brought into the world of Cherry Lake. Sage and Taylor were a very fun couple to read about and I was so happy when they get their happy ending. I hope to read more books in this town in the future and to see several more books added to the Cherry Lake Fire Fighters Series.

This book is also included in Sweet and Swoony Holiday Anthology.

I really enjoyed Mandy (Succubus) & Darius' (Cupid) story and felt that the two of them were a really good match. I enjoyed getting to read Mandy's story after having gotten to know her in previous books in the series (mainly Minor Inconveniences For Annoyed Pixies & Team Building For Friendly Hellhounds) but this story works as a standalone if you haven't read any of the previous books. I have loved all of the characters so far and look forward getting to know Erica, Carmel, Rico, and Zara more whenever it is their turn to get a story. I hope this series continues for many more books.
