This is another sweet fated mates instalove between a warlock and a lion shifter.
Constantine is the doctor for the coven and Miles is a nurse sent to assist Constantine.
They do claim each other immediately but that doesn’t mean it all runs smoothly in their mating. They still need to learn about each other and there’s also the concerns of a pregnancy which has complications.
If you want an enjoyable, low angst, fated mates mpreg story with likeable characters who share lots of steamy times, then this will be a great way to spend a few hours.

This offering from Annabella Michaels covers quite a few tropes. There’s fake boyfriend, opposites attract, holiday fling and only one bed!
Shaw is an uptight surly man with absolutely no work/life balance. Kieron is pretty much the opposite, outgoing and full of cheer and knows that there’s more to life than just working.
Circumstances have them going on Shaw’s work retreat as boyfriends. The majority of the week goes fine until the end where a conflict nearly upsets the journey to their HEA.
I enjoyed these characters overall. We do get to learn why Shaw is like he is but I wish Kieron’s character development had been fleshed out some more.
This is a nice quick easy and enjoyable read. Great way to fill in a couple of hours.

I really do appreciate the story telling ability of Aimee Nicole Walker. Seamless plot formation, exceptional pacing and her character development is so very well done. This is another engaging and enjoyable read in the Sinister In Savannah series and even though we are told early on who the bad guys are, there’s a couple of twists in the tale to keep things interesting.
Felix and Jude certainly do have a lot of layers to them. Felix is very prickly, loyal to and loved by those in his inner circle and believes in justice for all. He’s also very jaded in matters of the heart after having his heartbroken in college, 14 years ago by Jude who has now relocated to Savannah. With the chemistry between them still burning and all the baggage from the past still waiting to be unpacked, it’s a bit of a slow burn start but heat levels reach scorching once Felix knows he can believe and trust in Jude again. Add in some very interesting side characters and two very entertaining peacocks and you’re left with a fantastic read. I’m very much looking forward to the next instalment in the series.

3.5 stars.

Low angst fluffy age gap, best friends son. Did skim over some parts where it didn’t hold my attention but I found it to be a great “brain cleanser” between heavier books.

Sweet with heat

This is an enjoyable, low angst, easy to read age gap romance with a dash of kink thrown in.
Levi, an adorable barista and Joe, a bear of an electrician, are two very loveable main characters who come together at the Bold Brew coffee shop.
There’s wonderful chemistry between them and they begin to explore certain areas of that together. This leads to many steam filled moments as they jointly discover what they truly need.
The road to their HEA doesn’t include any real major conflict and this makes for a very enjoyable and engaging read.
I’m looking forward to more in the multi author Bold Brew series.

This whole series has been amazing and this final instalment did not disappoint. It’s all so real - real emotions, real deep unconditional love, patience and hope, real chosen family, real friendships - and so brilliantly written. It’s all I hoped for and so much more.

This beautifully written book grabbed me heart, wrung it out and then put it back together.
Sean and Jonah are characters that will stay with me. Both are strongly developed characters who have issues of loss that need to be confronted. They are also both likeable, flawed and perfect for each other. The chemistry between them is undeniable but they take their time to get to know each other before taking the relationship further. There’s not many steamy moments but what they have together is real and emotional, with fumbles and angst along the way, before they get their well earned HEA.
I found this to be a well crafted, engaging read with great sensitivity and emotion regarding the subject matter.
Highly recommended but please be aware of the trigger warnings.

4.5 stars.

This is well crafted book with an original plot, a wonderful cast of main and secondary characters, good pacing that kept me turning the pages and great world building.
The very likeable Jude and Roman come together to keep the world safe from magical monsters. They find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other but circumstances don’t permit their union. Jude is told that duty is above all else, fighting monsters is what his family does and that’s that!
The secondary cast is full of interesting characters and I fell in love with Roger, the sweetest troll ever to exist.
Combine minimal angst, a couple of heated moments, some action and a dash of drama and you’re left with a very enjoyable and engaging read.
The author tells us that there is more to come in Jude and Roman’s story and I can’t wait.
