Review: Him & I

Him & I by Helena Hunting
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Birdie and Jarrod's story is beautiful and toxic in the best way. A story of struggling young adults when life goes south and how they learn to deal with the trauma life forces on them. Birdie has everything stacked against her, bad things have happened to her her whole life, everything she loves is taken from her and she's trying to learn to break the cycle. After spending 5 years in prison and 3 years on probation the ex boyfriend she went away to protect barrels back into her life, and she finds out that maybe she doesn't have all the pieces to her story. I love how Birdie and Jarrod find their way back to each other. Birdie is a fighter and I love how strong she is and how she survives even though the things she has experienced would cause any normal human to crumble. Jarrod is obsessed with Birdie, in a way that would be unhealthy in real life and makes you swoon in a book. I read the ebook and listened to the audiobook narrated by CJ Bloom and Alex Knox. I really enjoyed both versions of this story, I think the performances of CJ Bloom and Alex Knox really brought Birdie and Jarrod off the page and gave them more depth.

This is a darker Helena Hunting, going back to her Clipped Wings roots and I am absolutely here for it!

Review: At Their Mercy: Part One

At Their Mercy: Part One by Cara Dee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Any time I can revisit the Reese, River and Shay I am absolutely jumping at the chance. I loved seeing them navigate their lives after the fire and finding the balance between everyday life and kink. I struggled a little to place this in The Game Series timeline. Even still I can't wait to jump in for Part two! I'm anxiously awaiting more Tenley's!!!

Review: Vicious King

Vicious King by Natalie Kane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved each king of Vegas more than the last and Carson is my favorite. He is so dark and growly and possessive and I absolutely adore him. I was so concerned about who Carson's love interest was going to be, and how this assassin and widower was going to get over the loss of the love of his life. I could not stop listening to this book, Connor Crais was phenomenal as Carson, Every single scene, every growly line was better than the last. Stella Hunter was amazing as always as Reina. Reina is such a fighter and strong character and Stella Hunter's performance really portrayed all of that strength. I absolutely love this series by Natalie Kane and I'm sad its over! You absolutely have to add this one to your TBR!

Review: Mine Again: Sunflower Book One

Mine Again: Sunflower Book One by Andrea Thome
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first time reading Andrea Thome and this was such a fun, romantic small town story It felt like curling up in a warm blanket with a cup of cocoa. Ranger, voiced by Sebastian York was a much more vulnerable than I expected from a very recently divorced farmer single dad and local high school band teacher who meets someone who interests him for the first time in forever. Delilah narrated by Andi Arndt is a traveling lawyer who is a constantly rolling stone. She is not the person who should get involved with a man like Ranger who is so ingrained in the community. They develop such a sweet friendship and their chemistry is so palpable. There were many times in this book where they communicated like adults and avoided a miscommunication trope which I loved, but there were also moments where I wanted to yell at Delilah for her choices.

I loved Sunflower Montana and I really hope we get some more books in this series, I especially hope to get one for Jesse James and Ivy! I also really want Florence to get an HEA!

I loved the narration and duet production and I know I will read Andrea Thone again!

Review: Threshing Day

Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fun addition to this series, with lots of little crumbs for us conspiracy theorists to dwell on for years! I loved getting to see the bonds form for some of our favorite characters and hearing the voices and personalities of the dragons. I was hoping for POVs from dragons, but that likely would have turned a 200+ page book to a 500 page book :P.

Review: The Slayer Seduction

The Slayer Seduction by Sarah Blue
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've really enjoyed this series, it has been a fun Halloween time read with some paranormal characters and the spice that I have come to expect from Sarah Blue. This one was a bit of a stretch for me since its an MFM, but also not. There are 2 MMCs but they share a body. It was definitely a first for me and while it was done very well, I am not sure it's a micro trope I will seek out in the future. The fox familiar was such a fun addition with her addiction to reality TV and affection for the Slayer. This was definitely a fun and easy read. It was fast paced and while there was high tension the pace of the story kept everything moving forward.
