Her Dragon Daddy was such an impulse of a read, a random book I saw being shared on Facebook of all places, but there was something about the trope and the set up of the story that really drew me in. I get so nervous about Secret Baby, but this one here was handled so well. I absolutely adored the way that this one was written and it immediately pulled me into the story. I was so curious to see where the author would take this story. I would say that this one felt like a mix between contemporary and paranormal. In fact, the PNR aspect of it felt like a backdrop and not a center or even close to a primary focus in any way. There is more focus on the romance, character building and family connections. It was a short and sweet delight of a read! Exciting to delve into the rest of the series.

This is the finale in the Vessel Trilogy and I was so thrilled to get an early ARC of this by the author. This is a rerelease, and this trilogy was the first book written by this author just reading these books have made me realize how much I want to delve deeper into this author’s books. I wasn’t sure what would happen in this book but the blurb does give some parts of it away I was so drawn into this one because the mistakes that Genevieve made in book two really come to light in this one but also shows the craftiness of the enemy. I will say that this book is guaranteed to put you through the emotional wringer. Just seeing what this author puts this couple through in this one is so heartbreaking in moments, but it also binds their relationship into something deeper. We see what our heroine is capable of with her growing capabilities, and what the drive of saving your love will motivate you into doing. But we also see the sacrifice of love from our hero and what he is willing to go through for Genevieve so that she is protected. I fell so hard for this book and it kept me up all day reading this one here. Its definitely a story that I know will captivate its readers and seeing what our pair will have to suffer and overcome was an epic journey and absolutely loved what this author built within this finale and delivering such a solid story that won my heart so completely. If you love fantasy romance and want to read more, grab this trilogy up. And make sure you grab up the 2022 released version as they have extra content.

Bad For You is the third installment in the "Dirty Deeds" series and I immediately grabbed this one up in audiobook. I have adored being able to listen to this in narration especially with these two narrators together. They do such a brilliant job together. This story was so much more emotional than I was expecting, but it also has some great bantering and inner dialogue to balance out the more edgy topics that this author handles. We also see that this also has a single dad and friends to lovers trope.

This story begins with our hero Sean, who has a dark past of being abused and having to steal just to survive since he was just a child. He has been treated horribly in thinking the worst of himself and is a ex convict for just trying to care for his family even if it was done in the wrong way. He is a devoted father and a caring man. From the first few pages, you become so hooked into this book. Then we have our heroine, who works at the bar/restauraunt that Shane does. She has always been attracted to him, but is shy about how she has shown her attraction to him. But now Shane is wanting to explore something more with Shayla. As they begin exploring a relationship together, healing is formed when Shayla is able to reach a part of Shane that he has kept locked away for years.

Bad For You was everything that I could have hoped for and more and is my favorite book of the series and I have really enjoyed the books up until now, but there was something so much deeper and complex that is delivered within this story. This hero just broke my heart so completely, I just wanted him to find his HEA. I was completely on his team and I really found that Shayla was just right for him. She is so open and loving and exactly the type of woman that he needs. She has such a sweet fresh outlook on life that opens Shane to other possibilities. You see what a loving father he is and how much he needs more in his life. The way he is with his children, you can just see that he is bursting to love others and just wants to be loved but has never felt worthy of it.

This story is completely the journey of our hero Shane and seeing his growth and learning to let go of the past and the abuse he suffered and start believing in himself. I just wanted to cuddle this sweet man. I really felt like J. Daniels really wrote his character so well and implemented his heart in such a vivid way that just strikes directly to the heart of the reader. Its not a romance for the faint of heart and is not a rom com, but a true in depth representation of the human heart and the way that this romance is developed was beyond beautiful. Shane and Shay were just a strong pair and from the beginning you can just feel the intensity of their connection.

Overall I found this story to be a heartfelt, strike the chords of the soul story that will showcase the value of redemption, healing and unlimited love!

Linda Needham is a author, that gives me that "warm fuzzy" feeling and is one of those author that is
amazing in writing romances. I have noticed that her books have been coming in digital format. When I saw this one on sale, I just knew that I had to pick it up right away. The Bride Bed is a charming love story, it is set in the early 1100's and is a story of true love that isn't easy to hold onto.

It begins, when Lady Talia, has been tossed around with men trying to marry her and take control of her land and the castle and village she has protected since her father's death. Talia is about to marry a vile man, who is forcing her to marry him in exchange of leaving her younger sisters alone. Right when she is about to marry a man that would make her life hell, but then a knight takes over, a Sir Alex, who has been sent on a mission by the King. Alex, is determined to take control of this holding, and the ward is he is now over...a ward who is a grown and passionate woman who stirs his blood. He knows that there a lot more going on than meets the eye, but he can't resist how she feels in his arms, and how she is the first woman that makes him fear losing his heart...

The Bride Bed was a poignant and tender romance that had me falling in love...I adored this story and the set up of the plot was very intriguing. I adore Medieval Romances, partly because its a genre that not many authors delve into, and it offers a glimpse of a time that is full of sacrifice and passion. This story is about a woman who has sacrificed everything to save her people, who has spent years living in fear and working in secret just to have food and wood for the winters. Despite the arrival of Alex, and the feeling he stirs in her, she can't stop her mission, doing everything she can to protect the people that are her family. I loved her strength and determination to be independent and stand for those she loves. Not wilting flower this one...definitely full of courage and I enjoyed seeing her true self shine through in this story. Alex, has fought in the war, and finally has been awarded for his sacrifices, and now has been granted a reward. But this small holding, is not his goal...he wants to get a bigger piece of land, and find a beautiful heiress for a wife...that is until he kisses Talia and all his intentions for his future go out the window. Alex and Talia learn in this book, the meaning of fighting for those you love and that true love isn't something you find everyday...and will have to learn to trust in that.

I adored the way that this story developed, and the plot was very deep at times, and I had such fun reading this one, and the way that this author spins a story of mystery, passion and history. A story that pulls you instantly in, characters to adore, a plot to delve into, overall a love story full of zest, desire and power of true love. AMAZING!!!

This was such an entertaining win of a story, from the beginning, I was so entertained. From the beginning of the story, I was pulled into the story here. I was really intrigued by this story and the setup of the plot that the story introduces. And it starts off with a kidnapping plot, so it starts off with a bang of sorts. The hero and heroine really go at each other in such a delicious way, I will say that I just wasn't that invested in the story. I didn't "feel" the romance or the relationship much, it had a solid start, so I had high hopes for it but it just ended up not working so well for me as it felt so disappointing. The plot and character building was so deeply built but at the same time the writing I just didn't end up connecting with all the way through. I had high expectations of this one here and it just didn't quite meet up with them.

I was really pulled into this story and it was so different than the other books that I have read from this author, it had such a more easy-going feel to the romance. Even though this is an assassin type of romance, I really loved this one. I liked how strong their connection was to each other and that the heroine was a girl next door type and had such a fun time seeing this big badass alpha male be at such a loss in how to deal with a woman like this. He was so out of his element, and while he makes mistakes along the way, I loved how devoted he is to her. He has such fierce protectiveness towards her that I found so endearing. This one while not my favorite installment of the series, was such a solid win and I had a blast with it, and am eager to move along with more of this author's backlist.

Immortal Rider is the second book in the series and it was such a fascinating story here. I was so curious to see which rider we would get next and what their story would be. I was completely fascinated by this setup and so curious to see how Larissa I0ne would deliver a HEA for these two because they definitely are faced with some challenges. But with typical Larissa Ione fashion, this one worked so brilliantly. I was quickly drawn into this one, and am starting to like this narrator the more I listen to her.

The story is set up when our heroine Limos, has been marked as Satan's bride and its forbidden for her to engage in any sexual entanglements with other men. But when Arik steals a kiss from Limos, it literally lands him in Hell being tortured by demons. Arik eventually manages to escape but his soul in jeopardy due to the machinations of Pestilence. But now that Arik is back in the human realm, Limos is determined to protect him and a intense relationship begins to form between the two, but will Limos and Arik find a path to their HEA?

This book was such a fun journey although it could be quite a deep serious one at times. We see what torture does to the human psyche, and I really felt like the author handled the PTSD elements so well. There are some great challenges that are ahead for Arik and Limos though, I did love seeing them together though. Limos is such a badass alpha heroine, and Arik is just perfect for her because he sees her vulnerabilities and is able to reach parts of her that she isn't able to. I really enjoyed how all the details and emotional intimacy is implemented. I am finding out that these books are so fun, they aren't five star reads for me, it could be the narration, I am not sure, I might try the next book physically reading and see if that changes things a bit. But I found it to be a solid read and eager to see what is ahead.
