This was my second book by K.M. Shea and I really enjoyed her Retelling of Wild Swans and all the characters in this story. It can be read as a standalone although I do plan to read more books in the series to find out what happens with some of the other characters who have their own books in the series. I really liked the fact that at the end this book has two different epilogues allowing the reader to decide which of the two different love interests Elise ends up with and I read and enjoyed both.

This is such a fun book and I loved getting to know Cole & Summer and seeing how everything comes together for them despite their rocky beginning. This book is set in a small town during a heatwave that causes a few problems for both Cole & Summer. I look forward to seeing what comes next in this new series.

This is another fun addition to the Wrong Move, Right Monster series of standalone romances. I enjoyed getting to know Malachi & Isadora in this story and how they initially clashed with one another but slowly grew closer and helped one another overcome issues from their pasts. I also loved Mal's imp Nix even though he was in so little of the story but he was so fun whenever he did show up. I look forward to reading more of this series as well as many more books by Honey Phillips.

I really enjoyed this newest addition to the Holiday Heartmates series of holiday romances. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone story and features a different couple. I loved getting to know both Torvikk & Tammi in this story as well as Torvikk's son Duvikk. This story has a decent balance of seriousness, sweetness, and some fun humor. Torvikk & Tammi made a decent couple and helped one another grow and overcome issues from their pasts. I look forward to reading more from this series in the future.

I really enjoyed this steamy Retelling of Beauty and the Beast. This story had several great side characters and I loved getting to see how everything came together for Bastian & Sable. This story has several really fun scenes with a good sense of humor to balance out the more serious moments. I have enjoyed several books by this author in the past and look forward to reading many more in the future.

I loved this book and getting to read about Emmett & Elana as well as Emmett's adorable dragonlet Melly. This story can be read as a standalone or as part of the series for a richer character history for the side characters. I enjoyed getting to know all the characters in this book as well as how they interacted with one another and Melly was so cute! It was also amusing that at one point in the book Elana was reading Claimed by the Hunter since it is by the same author but under a different pen name. I look forward to reading more by this author under both her names in the future.

I am not as familiar with either The Snow Queen or King Thrushbeard so I appreciate the brief summary for both stories at the beginning of this book. I thought this book blended these fairy tales in a very fun way and loved Freddy's character as well as felt for Eliza. I haven't read all the books in this series and it works as a standalone but I had read Falling for the Winged Witch: A Villainous Twist on Wild Swans and Jack and the Beanstalk before this book and it was about Eliza's sister Lindy. I look forward to reading (and rereading) many more books by this author in the future.

I enjoyed getting to know both Adjar & Jaz in this newest addition to the Dragons on Mars series as well as the wonderful world building descriptions of the polar environment this story takes place in. Adjar & Jaz make an excellent couple and helped one another to learn to rely on each other and to accept help when necessary. I look forward to reading more of this series.

This was my first book by Ashley Mendoza and I thought it was an enjoyable Retelling of The Wild Swans with excellent characters, world building, and an engaging plot with some unexpected twists along the way. I liked both Ali and Calix and seeing how their relationship evolved throughout the story. This book did have a little more violence and death than some of my preferred stories but the author did warn about that in the book summary so it wasn't a surprise. I am curious to see if some of the side characters in this story get their own stories and plan to keep an eye out for more Fairy Tale Retellings by this author.

I LOVED this fairy tale mash up of The Little Match Girl & The Snow Queen and how well it blended the two stories together! I haven't really read much about The Little Match Girl before but this was an excellent retelling as far as I am concerned and I thought Princess Safara used the matches well. Cassian made an excellent Snow King in this story and him and Safara's relationship was fun to see unfold. Safara's pet rock Douglas was also a fun little addition at times. The epilogue at the end was so sweet and I was happy with how everything came together for them. I look forward to reading more of Abigail Manning's Retellings in the future.

This was a really enjoyable Retelling of Mulan full of interesting characters that I enjoyed getting to know. It was nice getting to see Mulan as she grew into the person she was when she decided to take her fathers place. It had been awhile since I last read any of Cameron Dokey's fairy tale retellings and I really enjoyed this book and hope to get to some of her other retellings still on my TBR list sooner than later.

This was a really fun start of a new series and I enjoyed getting to know Doren & Emma. The two of them made a really good couple and I loved how both of them were with Ari. Even though Ari is still a baby she is an entertaining character with her own important role in this story and I hope to see some more of her as well as Doren & Emma in future books. There were a few references to characters to other books by Honey Phillips that I haven't read yet that will probably be fun for readers who do recognize them since it's always nice to catch a glimpse of characters you liked and catch up on how they are doing. I look forward to continuing this series through the alphabet.

This was my first book by Melanie Cellier and while I am sure I would have enjoyed the story even more if I had read some of the previous books to have a better background of some of the characters it worked well as a standalone as well. I loved both Hanna and Stefan in this quick Retelling of Cinderella and was happy with how everything worked out for the two of them. I look forward to reading more by this author and plan to add more of her books to my TBR list.

This is a different Retelling of Snow White with a unique take on the story. It wasn't as enjoyable for me as some of the others in the series but was still decent and just not my preferred story. This story leaves off with an open ended ending rather than an HEA.

This was a very interesting Retelling of Princess and the Pea. While this is a short story it manages to get do a really good job of telling this story with an engaging plot and interesting characters. I liked both Rachel and Prince Benjamin and was happy with how things worked out for them. I look forward to reading more from this series of short stories.

This was a quick and fun Retelling of Snow White and Rose Red and was my favorite book of this series. I enjoyed getting to know both sisters in this story as well as Bear and seeing how everything ties together. While this book is connected to both stories in this series and I read them all in a row I believe this one could probably stand on its own.

I am not familiar with King Thrushbeard so I don't know how true to the story this retelling is but I thought it was a quick and entertaining story that continues Olivia & Kieron's story from the previous book in the series.

I enjoyed this Retelling of Brother and Sister and am glad to have been able to read it since I enjoyed the original by the Brother's Grimm and it isn't one with many Retellings. I loved all the characters and seeing how the story came together as well as the various couples that were together by the end.

I loved this Retelling of 1,001 Nights and getting to know Kamaran & Rana. The two animal companions Spot (tiger) and Zade (Rana's fennec fox) were both amusing and entertaining characters. This story has a lot of fun scenes and the fun banter I have learned to expect from a Sarah Beran story and the epilogue was really sweet as well.

I look forward to exploring this series more and hope to discover the truth about what happened with Daphne's brother.

This is the first book in this new series of standalone stories and I enjoyed the introduction to the world this series takes place in. This book centers around Vraag & Riona and I really liked both their characters and seeing how the two of them worked together as well as how they helped one another grow as individuals. The children in Riona's class were fun and I loved their interactions with Vraag. I look forward to continuing this series and reading about Kragen in the next book The Orc's Gift.

This was another enjoyable standalone story in the Treasured by the Alien series and took place on Ciresia. Becsul & Melissa have a rocky beginning but managed to overcome it along with tackling the obstacles that faced them.

This was my first novella by this author but I had enjoyed a couple much shorter short stories by her previously and had high hopes for this since it sounded fun. This book met my expectations and was a really enjoyable Retelling of Cinderella full of fall vibes, wonderful sounding desserts, and interesting characters. I loved getting to know both Celine "Cinder" and Mouse and seeing Celine realize her growing feelings for him. This story also has a lot of fun side characters including the other baker's in the competition. Celine's step mother as well as her step sister Eugenie were extremely unappreciative of all Celine did for them but her step sister Felicity wasn't as bad. The epilogue was a fun look into the future and I plan to read more by this author.

Both Princess Emaline & her handmaiden Corrine are wonderful characters and I liked that the handmaiden isn't the villain in this story but that she is acting out of concern for Emaline's safety and they have a sincere and caring relationship between them. The goose in this story is also a great trouble maker that creates a lot of at times amusing problems for Emaline. I also really enjoyed getting to know the character Dane and his interactions with Emaline while she was a servant. The last chapter of the story was really sweet and wrapped things up on such a wonderful note.

This was a really enjoyable Rapunzel Retelling that can be enjoyed as I standalone story (I haven't read Alien Awakening yet), although reading more of the series adds more background for characters who are mentioned from previous books but aren't main characters here. Baylin & Liora make a great couple in this story and it's interesting to see how they develop their bond despite the initial interference of the towers protective AI "ARIS".

This book contains Taken at Dusk (Book #3) and Whispers at Moonrise (Book #4) from the Shadow Falls Series. I remembered really enjoying this series when I first read it several years ago and decided to reread it. Kylie continues her quest to discover who and what she is during these books and also reunites with her biological fathers remaining family. These books do a good job of picking up were books 1 & 2 left off and also introduce a few new characters. This is a really good series with an entertaining plot and fun characters. I am looking forward to reading the next book of this series and seeing how the plot unfolds.

Born at Midnight (Shadow Falls #1)

This book was really fun to read with an interesting plot that keeps you wondering what will happen next. I really liked all the different characters and seeing how they developed throughout the book as well as seeing how the various relationships changed throughout the book. I am really looking forward to the next book!

I originally read this without having read the prequel book Turned at Dark and while it is easy enough to read book first the prequel does a really nice job of introducing the world and Della's character.

Awake at Dawn (Shadow Falls #2)

This book was a great continuation from book 1 Born at Midnight and I really enjoyed seeing how all the characters and their relationships are growing. I can't wait to see what happens next in Taken at Dusk.

I was really happy to get to read about how Roan & Abigail got together in this book after the brief glimpse of their story in Once Upon a Cat about Thea & Nathaniel (Roan's brother).

I was happy to see a new book in the Treasured by the Alien series was being released and really enjoyed getting to read this story.

I really enjoyed reading about how they all came together as a family as the story progressed and the epilogue at the end had some really sweet moments.

I love the Fairhaven Falls series & this book met my expectations based on what I have read in this series so far. As always Flora and her matchmaking Flora are a lot of fun and I enjoyed whenever she popped up in the story. Each book in this series is about a different couple so can be read on their and this book was about Dr. Victor Jackson (Hyde) and his pregnant human mate Chloe. Their story has several ups and downs as Victor works through some issues but everything comes together for them (Flora wouldn't allow anything less) and the epilogue at the end is soo sweet. I am looking forward to reading Ben's story next year.

I have loved every book in this series so far and was excited to see a new book released and am happy to say it met my high expectations for a fun and entertaining story. The Halloween aspects of this story were a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting to know both Khatak & Selene in this story as well as getting to see more of the human girls at the hotel.

I really enjoyed this Snow White & Rose Red Retelling and the way it wove elements of Bluebeard into the story so well. The prologue was a bit darker since that is where most of the real connection with Bluebeard is but afterwards it settles and is an entertaining story. I enjoyed getting to know both Rose Red & Prince Derrick and seeing how their relationship works out. I look forward to reading more Fairy Tale Retellings by this author in the future.

I really enjoyed reading about Khorrek & Thea in this story and seeing how everything came together in this final book in the series. This book was longer than my usual books but was a really interesting story with great world building and complex characters. The epilogue at the end set three months later did a good job of showing how Khorrek & Thea were adapting to their new lives together as well as how some of the other characters were doing.

This was the first book from the OrcFire Series that I have read and it worked well as a standalone story although I am sure there are some aspects that are even better if you have read the other characters stories even if it isn't necessary for enjoying this one. I loved reading about Forge & Jordan in this book and seeing how their characters evolved as they grew closer. Their dates were a lot of fun and I loved the holiday chapters near the end of the story. I look forward to reading more about Ryder in the next book.

This was such a fun book and I enjoyed getting to know Thad better after getting glimpses of him in his brother Sebastian's story in Hiss and Tell. Thad and Sloane were a fun couple that work well together. I also loved Thad's snakes and how they behaved, especially Sterling. The Silver Swimmers (Iris, Dorothy, & Mabel) were great in this story as well and they added a lot of light humor. I look forward to reading many more books by Alana Khan in the future.

This was the second book in this duet and while each book in the duet focuses on a different couple so it could be read as a standalone it's better to read both books in the set. I enjoyed getting to know both Falkor & Karma better in this story after getting to know them briefly in the previous book in this set and thought the epilogue was a sweet way of wrapping things up for both couples in this duet. I look forward to seeing what Cara Bristol comes out with next.

This was such a fun story and I loved getting to know both Lila & Torin in this story as well as Torin's adorable and mischievous goat Mabel. I enjoyed seeing how both Lila & Torin grew as characters as the story developed as well as how Lila helped Torin to grow more confident in himself. This story also has a subtle bit of fall fun thrown in with reference to a Harvest Festival. It was also fun to come across a reference to another book from this series (Hiss and Tell) that I have already read and enjoyed. I look forward to reading more books set in Harmony Glen and getting to know more about the different residents including Marigold in Satyrday Night Fever when it comes out.

This was a really fun novella and can easily be read without having previously any of the rest of the Gladiators of the Vagabond series (I haven't yet but have it on my TBR List). I loved both Kara & Rex in this book and seeing how the two of them worked together, they made a really nice couple. The epilogue at the end was also really enjoyable and I liked how it tied things up for everyone.

This was a really fun and steamy monster romance between Chente Tecuani (Chupacabra) & his human librarian mate Odette Bouchard. This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it and all the characters although I would like to read more about their friends Shai and Holden and see how their story comes together. Chente was so sweet in this story and I loved the epilogue at the end.

This was my first book by Destiny Fox and I really enjoyed all the characters and the story. This is a quick fated mates story between Milly (human) and single father Christian (Dragon shifter). Christian's son Tommy is really cute in this story.

I really enjoyed this book about Gabby & Tal’n and see them trying to communicate before she had a translator. The two of them made a fun couple and I thought the epilogue at the end set a few years later was really good. I look forward to reading the next book about Sarah & Fen’k.

This was such a fun book that I was really looking forward to reading and I was so happy it met my expectations! I loved the way it blended elements from Cinderella with Anastasia so well. I have read several of the previous book in this series (although Once Upon An Apple is still on my TBR List) so it was fun to see Dietrich's story and how him and Ella get together. While I have read previous books in the series each book centers on a different couple so can be read as standalones, you just get more appreciation for characters from previous books when you have read their stories. I am really looking forward to reading the next book and seeing Thea & Nathaniel finally get their HEA!

I really enjoyed Yasmin & Rhaal's story in this most recent addition to the Alien Abduction Series and how the two of them helped one another to heal from their past experiences.

I look forward to reading the next (and last) book in this series Zinnia and the Zombie: A SciFi Alien Romance.

This was another really good book in the world of the Xarc'n Warriors and I enjoyed getting to know both May & Xik'n as well as some of the other characters in the story. I was glad that some of the good people from the raider group May used to be in were able to split off and join with the Hunters and am also looking forward to reading the next book to see what happened with Gabby and find out more about the Hunter who took her. The epilogue at the end was sweet and I enjoyed how everything came together for May & Xik'n in the end.

This was my first book from this series that I have read and while I am sure there are aspects I would have enjoyed more if I was more familiar with the series it still worked as an enjoyable standalone. I really enjoyed getting to know both Callie and Aries in this story and seeing the two of them work through all their past misunderstandings and issues as the story progressed and their shimmerling companion Spark was cute as well.

Both were great characters and I was happy to see them work things out to reach their HEA. While each book in this series is about a different couple and can technically be read as a standalone it does have a bigger plot in the background and is enjoyed better as a series. I am looking forward to the next book and getting to know Khorrek better.

I had previously read and enjoyed Once Upon A Café but enjoyed the story better as a whole with the extra chapters in this omnibus. Thea & Nathaniel are great characters that I really enjoyed getting to know and I look forward to seeing how things come together for them in Once Upon A Cat: A Cozy Fantasy Frog Prince Retelling.

I received an ARC of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a really fun Pride and Prejudice Variation that incorporates elements from several different fairytales including Cinderella (fairy godmothers), The Six Swans, and a brief nod to Snow White as well. This story was an entertaining and fairly quick read and it would be fun if the author decided to add another story showing how things go for Mary and Kitty when they get their turns with their fairy godmothers as well as Lydia.

This is the first book in the newest duet of the Cosmic Mates series and I loved all the new characters in it. This set includes two sets of siblings, human twin sisters Kismet and Karma as well as the alien princes Jaryk and Falkor. This book focuses on Jaryk & Kismet but their siblings provide a lot of support as well as humor and I look forward to seeing how they get together in the next book. The epilogue was also amusing and provided an unexpected surprise from Jaryk and Falkor's mother.

This story also had a lot of intriguing male characters as well and I was happy with how everything turned out but it kept me guessing for awhile about who to root for or trust. I look forward to reading many more fairy tale retellings by Abigail Manning in the future.

The epilogue for this book was also really good and I was happy with how things turned out.

I wasn't very familiar with the original story of the Goose Girl the first time I read this story but I found it 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 book is the first official book in its series of standalone but connected romances involving cryptid's and various mythical beings, although Moth to Her Flame is also connected to this series. I haven't read Moth to Her Flame yet (it's on my TBR list) and still enjoyed this story and getting to know both Dante (Jersey Devil) & Blair (Human) and seeing how their relationship and individual characters evolved as the story progressed. I look forward to seeing how this series continues and what character the next book will focus on as well as potentially getting to see more about Dante & Blair.

Stolen By Alien Prince by Celia Kyle & Anne Hale = TBR

Vikingr by Skye MacKinnon

This was a great continuation from the Starlight Highlanders Mail Order Brides series and I enjoyed the introduction of the Vikingr alien Vikings to the world previously established in the first series. It was fun to see the evolution of Steff who had been a minor character in previous books as well as how Njal changed over the course of the story. I look forward to reading Errik's story in the next book Drengr as well as Rune's story in Berserkr.

I was unfamiliar with the fairy tale The Golden Bird that this is based on but really enjoyed this story and all it's characters. Both Prince Kazik and Princess Helena were great characters and it was fun to see how the two of them grew up throughout the story as well as seeing their relationship change as they got to know each other better. This story also has several interesting side characters and it would be nice if in the future a follow up story was written to explore what happens with Prince Dominik and maybe even Prince Marek.

I was excited to get to read a new book in this series and as usual it lived up to my expectations. I enjoyed the relationship between Kara & Thraxar as well as the relationship between Thraxar and Kara's son Rory. The little alien girl Talia they found was also really sweet and I enjoyed how well the four of them formed a family. The epilogue at the end was a great way of wrapping up this story and I look forward to more books from this series as well as reading more from this authors other book series as well.

This was a fun story and a nice addition to the Hillcrest Hollow Shifters series of standalone shifter romances. This story was about Gregory (Minotaur shifter) & Kess (Human) and I enjoyed seeing how the two of them got together as well as overcame the obstacles that came up. I am also looking forward to reading the next book in this series about Jackson (Griffin shifter) & Gwendolyn.

I enjoyed reading this Retelling of Beauty and the Beast and getting to know both Ceryn & Vael’Zhur in this story. The story was engaging and I thought the story behind the curse was interesting and different than many others I have read to set this retelling apart from other Beauty and the Beast variations.

This was my first book by Lucy Piper and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters as well as the world this series takes place in. While I am sure that the book would be even better if I had read previous books in the series and had more background knowledge of some of the other characters in this story it provided enough information to work as a standalone and I enjoyed getting to know Malcolm and Quinn as well as Quinn's daughter Hillary. The epilogue at the end was really fun and I look forward to reading more books from this series and author.

I was really excited to read this book because Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales and I loved reading this retelling of it. Malrik & Bella make a great couple in this story and I enjoyed seeing how their bond developed. The epilogue at the end did a really good job of showing how the two of them are doing a little into the future and I look forward to reading more books from this series as well as other books from this author in other series as well.

I really enjoyed this book and getting to know Oliver (Oliver Fields - Owl Ward) better after reading about him in the previous book The Tea Witch's Promise. I also enjoyed getting to know Hana (Hana Steeper - Tea Witch) in this book and thought her and Oliver made a good couple. Oliver's owl familiar Howie was also so cute and I loved the interaction between Oliver and Howie. I look forward to continuing this series and getting to know some of the other characters in Purple Oak Oasis.

This was a really fun Retelling of Rapunzel that I really enjoyed reading that had several interesting characters as well as a few unexpected plot twists. I loved Rapunzel in this story and seeing how her and Pollox the dragon interacted with each other, especially all their playful banter and teasing. Pollox was another character in this story that I really enjoyed getting to know. I was happy with how things worked out although questioned how it would come together for a moment and thought the epilogue at the end was a great way to wrap the story up. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.

This book was another great addition to the Monster Mercenary Mates series and it was nice getting to know Brace better in this book and I loved getting to see the relationship between him and his human mate Ruby and how protective he was with her while still supporting her with whatever was important to her to do. The epilogue was nice and I am really looking forward to reading the next book in this series and getting to know Solear better as well seeing what kind of person his mate will be.

This was a really good Twelve Dancing Princesses Retelling and I enjoyed getting to know to some extent all 12 of the cursed princesses. This book has connections with both Amphibians and Admiration: A Frog Prince Retelling & The Caring and the Cursed but can be read without having read them although it is a bit more fun if you have. I loved both Princess Gardenia & Prince Dario of Cortes and enjoyed seeing how their story came together as well as getting to know some of the other princes that came for the competition as well as getting to know Rowan (Dario's sister-in-law) better. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series Promises and Poison: A Gender Swapped Snow White Retelling and seeing which characters are in it.

This was a fun alien shifter fairy tale retelling of Cinderella and I was happy to finally get to see Seren find his mate after his several appearances in other books. Elli was a really sweet character and I enjoyed getting to know her better after her brief mentioning in the previous book and her and Seren made a nice couple. I love this series so far and am excited to read the next book about Malrik & Bella.

I thought this was an interesting Retelling of the Pied Piper which is a story I am less familiar. I thought all the characters in this book were well written and enjoyed getting to know both Rahma & As’ad as well as vaguely getting to know As’ad's pet rats. The reference to Aladdin in this book was also a fun touch for As’ad's history. I look forward to seeing what fairy tales this author will retell in the future.

This is the fifth book in the Dream Team Shifters series but was the first I had read and I was able to follow along with the storyline fine and backstory was provided about other characters featured more strongly in the previous books although I am sure it is better if you have read them. I really enjoyed getting to know Alex and Jane in this book and thought the two of them worked well together once they finally accepted their connection. The other characters were all entertaining and the plot moved at a good pace. The epilogue was also really enjoyable.

This was a quick open door instalove romance set in the small town of Moonfang Haven and is the introduction of a series of standalone stories between human women and the orcs they fall in love with. This story is about Anne and Urk and I enjoyed getting to know the two of them. The epilogue at the end was also fun and gave readers a peak into their lives six months later.

This book is a good introduction of this connected Xarc'n series set on the mountains. I enjoyed getting to know Sandy & Turr’k as well as briefly getting to know Sandy's friend Morgan who is featured in the next book in this series. This book can work as a standalone as each book features a different couple but it is better when you are already familiar with the world it takes place in. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the Xarc'n Warriors: Mountains series as well as more from the original Xarc'n Warriors series in the future.

I really enjoyed this story and seeing Morana (Necromancer Witch) & Blade (Vampire) finally get together. This story can be read as a standalone but works better when you have read some of the other books in the series (I have only read the previous two but have more on my TBR list) since you will have a bit more background knowledge about some of the other characters mentioned. I also really enjoyed all the cats in this story including Neferkitty (Blade familiar) and the introduction of Schrödinger (Morana's familiar). I look forward to reading more from this series in the future.

Chapters 45 - 49: This volume was fun and I am enjoying getting to see more of the various people from Tenjin-ya as well as the newer characters from the rival inn. I am enjoying the slow progress in the relationship between Aoi and Ōdanna as the series continues and I am looking forward to seeing what happens in the next volume.

This was a really fun Retelling of Thumbelina combined with Hades and Persephone and was my first retelling of Hades and Persephone. I appreciate the description of each of the original stories at the beginning since I wasn't familiar with Hades and Persephone and the recap for Thumbelina was helpful. I loved all the characters in this story, especially Percy and Hayes. The relationship between them was fun to see develop and I also liked how Hayes interacted with all the other characters. This wasn't my first fairy tale retelling by this author and I look forward to reading more in the future because so far they have all been fun and enjoyable stories.

I enjoyed this newest book in the Five Kingdoms series and the chance to get to know Egon better as well as the occasional scene with his brothers Wulf and Lothar. I enjoyed getting to know Lyric in this book and thought her and Egon made a nice couple and was glad with how things worked out for them. While this book can be read as a standalone since they each focus on a new couple but they are better when read as a series since they all connect and have another storyline in the background that continues as the series progresses. I am looking forward to reading Ulric & Jessamin's story in The Orc's Princess Bride.

QQ Sweeper has been a really fun series with mystery and a hint of romance. I really enjoyed reading this and all the characters and I am looking forward to seeing how the characters and the story will continue to develop in the sequel series Queen's Quality vol. 1.

Contains Sweep 1 - 5: This series looks like another interesting story by Kyousuke Motomi. I enjoyed this volume and like the characters involved and am looking forward to reading what happens in the next volume.

Volume Contains Chapters 25 - 28: This volume was really interesting and I enjoyed the time that Asahi spent with her family but am looking forward to seeing her relationship grow with the Water Dragon God and seeing how his character will continue to develop. I look forward to seeing what happens next in the story.

This is the second book in the newest duet of this series and I loved getting to know Amity & Marshall after meeting them in the first book Double Take. This was a really fun story and I enjoyed seeing how the two of them got to know one another and how their relationship developed. The epilogue at the end was also really sweet. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future including any future books in this series if it continues.

I was really glad to get to read more about Tabitha and Tom (AKA: Prince Leopold / Leo / Tam'lin) after getting to know them a bit in The Shoeless Prince: A Puss in Boots Retelling. This is my first Retelling of Tam'lin and I thought it was an enjoyable story overall and it was also interesting to see The Little Match Girl & Hansel and Gretel touched upon in this story. The epilogue at the end was also really good. I look forward to read more stories from both the Borderland Fairytale series in the future.

I really enjoyed this new adult Retelling of Sleeping Beauty. This book is full of adventure and has some really great characters and an interesting storyline. I enjoyed how in this story it is the prince who is cursed instead and seeing how the relationship between Roran & Brie slowly evolves as the two of them get to know each other during their quest to save their realms. This book is part of the Fairy Tales of Gallia series but can be read as a standalone.

This was a great Retelling of Snow White with some appearances of characters from the previous book but is a standalone story. I loved getting to know Korrin & Tessa in this story and the seven orphaned adyani pups that Tessa had taken in were all so cute, I loved whenever they made an appearance. I am looking forward to reading the next book Alien Charming about Seren & Elli and am also hopeful that we might get to see more of Malrik in another future book as I feel his character has potential for a Beauty and the Beast retelling.

This was a really fun Retelling of Beauty and the Beast and I loved reading about Beatrice & Lord Alexander Dunham as well as Rose (Alexander's pet Kitten / Dragon), she was so adorable. All the characters in this story were a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing how everything came together in the end. This story can be read as a standalone (I haven't read Once Upon An Apple or Once Upon A Cake yet) but does have characters from previous books so I am sure it adds another level of enjoyment if you have read previous books. I am also looking forward to reading more about Dietrich in the next book Once Upon A Pumpkin: A Cozy Fantasy Cinderella Retelling as well as learning about the girl he met that moved next door to his mother.

Chapters 56 - 60: I am really enjoying this series and how all the characters and the storyline are developing. This volume is the start of a new story arc involving Shirayuki and Ryu being transferred to Lilias to work as researchers for an extended period. I look forward to seeing how the series continues and seeing what happens next.

This volume also includes an unrelated short story at the end called "Beyond the Drops".

Chapters 40 - 44: The Lilias story arc is concluded in chapter 40 with Zen returning after the cure is found and everyone finishing up their different tasks and getting ready to depart. Chapter 41 was really cute with Zen and Shirayuki getting a chance to spend a day together alone going around town. This volume also let's us get to know Kiki better by showing us some of her past as well as telling us more about her family. The flashbacks about her and Mitsuhide meeting and early days were really fun.

Chapters 35 - 39: I really enjoyed this volume and getting to see more of Prince Izana interacting with Shirayuki in a more casual and less negative manner. I look forward to seeing what happens when Zen gets back to Lilias and joins them.

Chapters 30 - 34: I really enjoyed this volume and appreciated the chance to learn a bit more about Obi and his past. Prince Izana is also becoming a bigger character in the series and I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Contains Chapters 26 - 29: This volume concludes the Arc involving Shirayuki's visit to Tanbarun / Kidnapping. This volume also had a few fun chapters after she returns to Clarines including one where the public visits the palace and we are Zen in his formal wear. I look forward to reading the next volume and seeing how things continue for Shirayuki and Zen.

Contains Chapters 22 - 25: This was a really good volume that a lot happened in. We find out who was looking for Shirayuki when they show up and manage to kidnap her leaving Obi knocked out. Then someone else kidnaps her from the kidnappers. Zen and Raj team up and go after her and the volume leaves off in the middle of the rescue mission but after they find Shirayuki. I look forward to reading the next volume.

Contains Chapters 18 - 21: Shirayuki is invited to visit the palace of her original kingdom Tanbarun by Prince Raj and accepts it at Zen's brother Izana's insistence with Zen's request that Obi accompanies her as her escort to protect her if anything goes wrong. Shirayuki's conversation with Raj in the last volume inspired him to try to become a better Prince and we see how he has tried to improve as well as meet his younger brother and sister. Throughout this volume we hear about and see someone who is searching for Shirayuki but don't learn who he is or what he is planning before the volume ends so I hope to learn more in the next volume.

This volume also contains a cute little bonus chapter about Obi and Ryu at the end.

Contains Chapters 13 - 17: This volume picks up where volume 3 left off and concludes that storyline. During this volume Shirayuki and Zen also begin to move forward in their relationship and acknowledge their feelings to one another. This volume also contains flashback to six years ago showing how Zen and Mitsuhide first met and the start of their friendship. The last chapter was about Zen, Shirayuki, Mitsuhide, Kiki, and Obi all going out for a day trip to have some fun. I look forward to reading the next volume.

Contains Chapters 09 - 12: At the beginning of this volume Zen's brother Prince Izana causes Zen and Shirayuki some problems by inviting Prince Raj (Prince of Tanbarun - Shirayuki's original home) to visit them at the palace. Then Zen decides to assign Obi as Shirayuki's unofficial guard in case anyone decides to bother her because of their connection. The last part of this volume is the start of a new storyline involving a girl named Kihal Toghrul who came to the palace requesting the Prince to stop Viscount Brecker from hunting all the birds on her island that her people work with for various reasons including communication and fishing. This volume leaves off on a cliffhanger so I look forward to reading the next volume.

Contains Chapters 05 - 08: This volume starts with Shirayuki starting her position as a court herbalist apprentice and meeting the master herbalist she is going to train with, a 12 year old herbalist prodigy named Ryu. Shirayuki and Zen also end up staying at one of the kingdom's forts were everyone had gotten sick and so Shirayuki is needed to help cure them all. Then after everyone returns Zen's brother returns to the palace so we get to meet him as well and see a bit of the relationship between the two brothers.

This volume also contains a bonus story called "Connect Us" about a teenage boy who had died in a car accident coming back to check on his two best friends and see how they were doing. It was a good story and very well written.

There is also a cute little two bonus pages at the end about Ryu's sleeping habits and them rubbing off onto Shirayuki.

Contains Chapters 01 - 04: This was a really good volume and I am enjoying this story so far and getting to meet all the characters. I especially like Zen and Shirayuki and look forward to reading more about them and seeing how their characters and relationship will grow.

I also really enjoyed the Bonus Story "Colorful Seasons of August" at the end of this volume. It was really cute and I was so happy with how it ended.

Tasseloris (AKA Tass) and Elyssa were a great couple that I enjoyed getting to know in this book & I LOVED Nelly. It was nice getting to see a bit more of Solear and Brace in this story as side characters as well and I look forward to getting to know more members of the Varakartoom as the series continues and seeing who the next book Saved by the Alien Mercenary will be about.

I really enjoyed reading about Sylvie & Thorn in this story and LOVED Thorn's pet Cerberus named Bront (although Sylvie nicknames him Fluffy for a while). Bront's instant bond with Sylvie was cute and Thorn's reaction to it was amusing. I thought this was a fun story and am also adding Mated to the Swamp Monster to my TBR list since I missed it previously and it is about Thorn's nephew Marsh and how him and Rorie got together. I look forward to reading many more books by this author in the future since I have enjoyed every one that I have read so far.

This was my first book by Anastasia Hayward and I thought it was an interesting non magical Retelling of Snow White. This book is a historical romance retelling and I enjoyed getting to know all the characters and their interactions including Sophia's interactions with Dr. Faine Knight's three children. I look forward to getting to read more about Faine's brother Dylan in the next book in this series Thy Golden Stair and getting to read his story.

I really enjoyed reading this latest addition to this series and am sad to see it end. This book was about cheer captain Zara (Dragon Shifter) & a fire dancer named Blaze (Dragon Shifter). I enjoyed getting to know Zara better since we saw her throughout the series but never really got to know her. This book did a good job of wrapping up the series and we even find out who the mysterious roommate Craig that is mentioned in earlier books is. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

This was a fun and quick short story told mainly from the perspective of a kitten named Ginger who becomes the cozy cat of the Cozy Cat Cafe. This story can be read as a standalone but also works as a nice introduction for the Galamere Chronicles Series since several characters in the series are introduced in this story.

I thought this novella was a entertaining Retelling of Peter Pan by Annee Jones and thought it had good world building and characters. I enjoyed getting to know both Wendy and Hook and was happy with how their story came together. This novella does a good job of redeeming Hook and portraying Pan as the villain. The epilogue at the end was cute. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.

This was a really enjoyable standalone novella and I loved getting to know Halvard & Camryn. I thought the two of them made a good couple and also liked Halvard's pet boar Hogzy, he was a fun and added a bit of extra humor to the story and helped lighten the mood occasionally. Camryn's friend Liz was fun as well and it might be nice of she could show up in a future book.

This is another fun addition to the Fairhaven Falls series as well as the Sweet Monsters Treats series. I really enjoyed getting to know Posy and Varek better in this story after their very brief introduction in Wedding for My Werewolf and thought they made a nice couple. It was also nice to see some of the characters from previous books in this series of connected standalone books. The epilogue was really cute and I am looking forward to reading Kiss for My Kraken: A Cozy Monster Romance and getting to know Sam and Nina better.

This was another great book by KaraLynne Mackrory! I love her Austenesque books and the way she breathes new life into the characters from Pride and Prejudice. This was a very fun and entertaining story with an intriguing plot that drew me into books world. Seeing the relationship between Elizabeth develop while they are forced into eachothers company like this was really fun and I loved Richard Fitzwilliam and Georgiana in this book even though I would have liked to see more of them. The epilogue at the end of the book was really sweet as well. I hope to read more by this author.

This is my first book by Tara Grayce and I thought it was a really well written story with great world building and complex characters. This book combines the stories of Bluebeard with Robin Hood and I thought it was a very enjoyable story and loved the characters of both Robin and Duke Guy and seeing how they interacted with each other. The elements of the story drawn from Bluebeard were naturally a bit darker but the Robin Hood aspect helped lighten things up a bit to even things out overall. I am adding several more of this author's books to my TBR List including Forest of Scarlet about Robin's brother Munch as well as Basil & Meg's story Stolen Midsummer Bride.

This is the first book in the newest duet of this series and I thought it was a fun and interesting story. I enjoyed getting to know both John Bragg & Faith Hammond in this story and like Faith's friend Amity as well. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this duet about Amity & Marshall Clark and seeing how things go for the two of them after how rocky things between them at the end of this book.

This is the first book in the Ruby Realm series and another wonderful fairy tale retelling by Abigail Manning. I thought this was an enjoyable Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with excellent world building, fun characters, and an engaging plot with twists and adventure. I loved getting to know both Roisen & Zac seeing how their relationship developed as well as enjoying their banter with one another. There is a bit more violence in this story than in some of the other fairy tale retellings I have read by this author but not too much and it is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood so that isn't overly surprising. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.

This was a really enjoyable Retelling of The Goose Girl and I loved getting to know Princess Catalina as well as King Falco in this story. I thought this retelling was really well done with excellent world building and a few unexpected plot twists to keep the reader guessing about what would happen next. I look forward to reading more books by this author as well as from this multi author series.

This is the second book from this series of standalone but connected fairy tale retellings and I thought it was a really good gender-swapped loose Rapunzel Fairy Tale Retelling with great characters and an interesting story with unexpected plot twists. I loved getting to know both Edward & Vivienne in this story and was happy with how everything worked out for them. The epilogue at the end was really cute. I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

This was a really interesting and enjoyable Retelling of The Frog Prince with an Orc instead of a character turned into a frog. I thought this story did a good job of capturing this fairy tale and all the characters were well written. I enjoyed getting to know both Princess Amalia & Drogath and seeing how their relationship developed. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series.

This was a really enjoyable Retelling of Aladdin with great world building and I loved the characters. I loved the relationship between Dan (Aladdin) and his brother Jasper as well as seeing how the two of them interacted with Aida (the genie). The sultan was also a nice side character. The epilogue at the end was really cute and I am glad with how things worked out for everyone. I look forward to reading more books by Sarah Beran in the future as well as more books from this multi author series.

I really enjoyed this story and how it combined elements of Snow White & Rose Red with the story of Puss in Boots. This book had several great characters and I loved getting to know Rowan & her sister Eirwen as well as Prince Alexander / James / Puss. It was fun seeing how Eirwen and him interacted throughout the story as they grew closer. This book is a standalone but I liked how it was vaguely mentioned in passing as town gossip in Amphibians and Admiration: A Frog Prince Retelling tying the two stories together as part of the same world. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.

This was a really fun Retelling Of The Princess And The Pea and I loved getting to read Cordelia & Efron's story. It was fun to have Efron come to Grimm Academy and paired with Cordelia after having briefly met him in the previous book Princess of Feathers and him and Cordelia made a really good couple. I enjoyed the conclusion of the Bellpoint Castle competition and the introduction of Audrey for the next story. I look forward to reading more books from this fun and lighthearted fairy tale series.

This was a good Retelling of the Wild Swans and I enjoyed getting to know both Elisa & Alaric in this story and thought they made a nice couple. While I did really enjoy the story overall I had just finished reading the previous story and the two happened at the same time so some of the story did repeat a bit since the characters were friends and together and this is meant to be able to be read as a standalone as well as part of a series of interconnected stories. I am looking forward to continuing this series and seeing what happens with the other characters in this fun and lighthearted fairy tale series.

This is the first real Retelling of Red Shoes that I have read and I thought it was a very enjoyable story. I loved the character Jarl and enjoyed seeing him and Nora together. This story takes place during the same timeframe as The Swan Bride: A Swan Lake Retelling and is more enjoyable when they are read together however they can each be read as standalone stories since they focus on different characters. I look forward to reading more of this series and other Fairy Tale Retellings by this author in the future.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a really fun Retelling of A Swan Lake and did a great job of tying it in with the authors other Fairy tale retellings while still working as a standalone story. It was fun getting peaks of The Shoeless Prince: A Puss in Boots Retelling as well as the upcoming book The Soulless Prince: A Tam'lin Retelling. I loved getting to know both Leda and Freddie in this story as well as Freddie's brother Theo and friend Prince Briar who I hope to read more about in future stories. I am also looking forward to reading more about Nora from the Selection Ball in her story The Storybook Bride: A Red Shoes Retelling.

This was another really fun book in the Fairhaven Falls series of connected standalone romances set in the small town of Fairhaven Falls.

Flora was also as fun as always and I look forward to reading the next book Bidding on the Orc Outcast about Posy and Varek.

This was another nice addition to this series of Spicy Romantasy Fairy Tales and I thought it was an enjoyable Retelling of Peter Pan. I haven't read many Peter Pan Retellings but this was the first I have read with Peter Pan cast as the hero of the story and I thought it was well done. The epilogue at the end also did a nice job of wrapping up Evie and Pan's story.

This was a quick and sweet Retelling of Snow White and Rose Red and another fun addition to the Grimm Academy series.

Zerrin (Rose's friend) & Prince Andrew are in Glints Of Gold: A Fairy Tale Retelling Of Rumpelstiltskin (Book 06)

This was my first book by Celeste Baxendell and I really enjoyed this Retelling of Robin Hood. The characters were all so well written and had layers to their personalities that made them seem real and I enjoyed seeing how the relationship between Robin and Prince John evolved as they both got to know each other as well as how they developed as individual characters as the story progressed. The epilogue at the end was also really fun and I plan to look into reading more by this author in the future.

This was my first book by Jacque Stevens and I thought it was a very enjoyable Retelling of Puss in Boots with several interesting characters and excellent world building to draw the reader into the story. I loved getting to know Archie and Ainsley. I also really liked Leo and Tabitha and am looking forward to reading more about their story in The Soulless Prince: A Tam'lin Retelling.

I really enjoyed this story and getting to know Finnar better after his brief introduction in Tomlin although it isn't necessary to read that book first and this story is a standalone in a whole new series. This book was so much fun and I loved the way it blended a Fairy Tale Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with an alien shifter romance so well. Scarlett and Finnar made a really nice couple and I enjoyed getting to know them both. The epilogue at the end was fun and I am really looking forward to continuing this series as it blends two genres I love (Fairy Tale Retelllings and Alien Romances) together so well. The next book Alien Huntsman: An Alien Shifter Romance is supposed to be about Scarlett's friend Tessa & Korrin so I look forward to getting to know them both better and maybe even see more about how Finnar & Scarlett are doing in the future.

This is the first book in the revamped Purple Oak Oasis Series. I really enjoyed getting to know Brew (Rooibos Brewster - Tea Witch) and Katie (Katheryn Fields - Dog Ward) in this story as well as Katie's dog familiar Banjo.

This book also had a lot of other characters that I am looking forward to getting to know better as the series continues including both Brew & Katie's siblings.

Greel was such a sweet character and I loved seeing how his and Jessi's feelings and relationship developed throughout the story as well as getting to know them each individually with the perspective changing to show both their views. Greel's family were also fun and I hope to see more of them and Jessi's grandmother in future books.

I hope that there will be more books in this series in the future and look forward to reading more by this author.

This was another really fun and enjoyable story by Sabrina Silvers. This story has a lot of entertaining characters in it as well as good world building to bring the reader into the story. I liked both Maeve (witch) & Saul (bear shifter) and seeing how the two of them got together. Saul's nephew Brady was also really adorable! I look forward to reading more books set in the town of Grimm Mawr and hope to hear more about Wolfe Bloodgoode who had a small epilogue chapter at the end that hints at a potential story for the future.

This was my first book by Pepper McGraw and from this series and I thought it was a really cute story with several fun characters.

This was another fun addition to the Five Kingdoms series and I enjoyed getting to know Lothar better as well as getting to know Jana and see how their relationship developed during this story.

This was another great addition to the Alice in the Country of Hearts series. I really enjoy getting to see different sides of the various characters. This volume focuses on the relationship between Alice and Julius as well as the friendship between both Ace & Julius as well as Ace & Alice. I look forward to reading more about these characters in the future.

This story was really interesting and provided an opportunity to get to know the Clockmaker Julius Monrey a bit better as well as provide the reader an opportunity to see more of how him and Alice interact with one another.

This volume also contains a couple of chapters about the series "Crimson Empire" at the end that were pretty interesting.
Crimson Empire: Tactics
Crimson Empire: Stay Here

The Special Preview of "Kanokon" was also really cute and I definitely plan to read that series in the future.

Contains Episodes 8 - 12: This volume was a great continuation to the first volume in the series and did a good job of tying things up at the end. I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Elliot and Alice as the story continued as well as seeing how Elliot changed through his relationship with her. I feel that I am a bigger fan of Elliot's now thanks to this series and look forward to reading more about him in some of the other series about Alice and her adventures.

Contains Episodes 1 - 7: This series seems interesting and allows the reader to get to know Elliot March the March Hare better. I really enjoyed learning more about Elliot's personality in this volume and am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

This volume was another cute storyline involving Alice and Elliot's relationship and how it could develop. The story and art were both well done and the story as a whole was fun especially if you like Elliot and enjoy seeing different sides of him.

Volume Contains Episodes 1 - 4: This volume revolves around Alice and her complicated relationship with Peter White. Although Peter is not my favorite character this volume was still really fun to read and did show his sweet side as well as a fun bonus chapter (Episode 00) that showed Peter and Nightmare talking and when Peter made his decision to bring Alice to the Country of Hearts before the series began. I look forward to seeing what happens next and reading the next volume f this series.

This volume also contains a Special Preview of Alice in the Country of Hearts: Junk Box Stories which was fun to read.

Frostbitten Sparks by Alina Riley
This was an interesting Christmas novella about a human woman named Zoe with a bakery and the alien named Stodax she ends up with. Stodax had a lot of issues understanding the holidays and life in his new home but Zoe helped him to begin learning how to navigate things in his new life. The epilogue at the end was a nice way to show how they were doing a year later.

This was a nice, quick alien holiday book that I enjoyed reading.

This is my first book by M.J. Padgett as well as being the first time I have read a retelling for The Princess Who Never Smiled. This is a story I was completely unfamiliar with but I thought it was a very interesting book with many well written characters and an engaging story. I have enjoyed all the books in the Autumn Fairy Tales multi author series I have read so far and look forward to exploring more of them and discovering more authors I like from it in the future.

I really enjoyed reading this fun addition in the Winter Bliss shared-world series of standalone romances. Both Chad and Iggy have been featured in previous books in this series although I haven't read the book Chad was previously in (Beastly & Bookish) and sadly still have it on my TBR List. I enjoyed getting to know both these characters as well as seeing glimpses into the lives of some of the other characters in this world.

This is a really fun winter romance featuring Jack Frost and his fated mate. I really enjoyed getting to know this Jack Frost as well as Violet and thought they had an interesting story. The world building in this book is really good and draws you into the beautiful winter realm Jack rules over. It has some unexpected plot twists and I was happy with how things turned out for Jack and Violet and while it leaves off in a good place it might be nice to revisit this world and some of the characters for a future book.

This is a really interesting fairy tale retelling that combines The Snow Queen with Jack Frost which I was happy to come across because I really like the idea of these two characters together. This book also features many other fairy tale characters throughout the story and I was a bit disappointed that while Jack and Aria do end up together their HEA isn't as settled as I was hoping for but instead states it will come later in the series. This book was really good though and I plan to continue the series as I want to see what happens for all the other characters as well. 

This was another fun addition to the Dragon Brides Series and I enjoyed getting to know Pine and Neve in this story as well as Pine's sister Briar. The holiday celebrations were fun and it had an interesting plot. I haven't read all the previous books in this series yet but they are on my TBR List and I look forward to reading them as well as any future books in this series.

I loved this story and getting to know Rudi, Clarice, Lina, and all the other supporting characters in this story. The fokuso that they adopted as a pet was cute too.

I really enjoyed this story and the characters Rosy and Char. Rosy was a nymph and I haven't read many books with nymphs in them so that was fun and Char was a Dragon shifter. I enjoyed seeing how they grew closer as they fixed Rosy's inherited farm up while she was learning about her heritage and abilities. I enjoyed this book just as much as all the books published under this author's alter ego Robin O’Connor that I have read so far. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

I received a free ARC of this book when it was previously published in the Boundless Enchantment Anthology and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a fun addition to the Escape to Haven County series and I enjoyed getting to know both Harper & Otan in this instalove short story. While it does begin with a Halloween party the story could be easily enjoyed anytime of year. I look forward to seeing what stories show up next in this series.

This was my first book by Evangeline Priest and I enjoyed the story as well as getting to know the characters. Zana & Xnaurl were an interesting couple and I enjoyed getting to know them both as well as seeing how their relationship developed. This was a fairly quick and spicy story that works as a standalone.

I was so excited to see that there was a new book being added to the Vaxxlian Alien Mail Order Brides Series and this book did not disappoint. This was a really enjoyable story and the Christmas elements were a fun touch. I liked all the characters and how Claus tried so hard to win over Aubrey's nephews Marcus, Wyatt, & Finn and the interactions between them all were amusing at times. I look forward to reading and rereading many books about Vaxxlian Warriors and the humans they fall for in the future.

Rozar
I really enjoyed this story and the characters Nadia and Rozar. Nadia's cat Leonardo was a fun little side character as well. I have read this book a couple of times now and enjoy this series as a whole. I look forward to reading many more books with wonderful Vaxxlian Warriors.

Slate
This was another enjoyable book in the Vaxxlian Mail Order Brides series and I enjoyed getting to know both Beth and Slate in this story. While I didn't enjoy this story quite as much as some of the others in the Vaxxlian World I did still really enjoy the book and love the series as a whole. I look forward to reading and rereading many books about Vaxxlian Warriors and the humans they fall for in the future.

Thade
I loved Thade and his 4 children Xerrn, Krezz, Flatt, & Yulna in this story and enjoyed seeing how all of them bonded with Alana throughout the story. The relationships between Alana and the 4 children were all so sweet and it was fun watching Thade try to romance her and getting advice on how to date. I look forward to reading and rereading many books about Vaxxlian Warriors and the humans they fall for in the future.

This was another really enjoyable addition to the At the Alien Hotel series. I loved getting to know Laura and Nelan in this book and seeing their backstories. This story had a nice balance of silly to balance out the more serious moments and I look forward to seeing what happens next in this series as well as who the next book will be about.

This was an enjoyable read with just a few hints of fall sprinkled into the background. I enjoyed getting to know both Julie & Q’tar in this story and was glad things worked out the way they did in the end. The epilogue at the end set one month later was a nice peak into how they were doing and what their lives looked like. I look forward to reading many more books by this author as I always enjoy them.

This was my first book by Sabrina Silvers and I really enjoyed reading about all the characters and thought it did a great job of drawing the reader into the story. I liked Xavier's friend Rook and thought it was fun how the library participate in trying to give Xavier and Amber a chance to get to know one another better. I look forward to looking into more of this authors books as well as other books in this multi author series.

I read each of these books as induvial books as they were originally released.

Alien Disgraced: Kat Whalen & Prince Lomax
This is the fourth book in the Forbidden Bonds Series by Cara Bristol and can be read as a standalone but is better after reading the previous books. This book centers on the relationship between Kat Whalen & Prince Lomax. We got a glimpse into their flirtation in the previous book so it was nice to get to see a full book centered on the two of them and getting to know their characters better as well as getting to see glimpses of how the characters from previous books are doing. There were some mysteries and a few unexpected twists that kept me guessing about what would happen next. I have loved every book so far and look forward to reading the next book in the series when it comes out.

Alien in Disguise: Jessie Sayles & Maxx
This is the fifth and final book in the Forbidden Bonds Series by Cara Bristol and although it can be read and enjoyed as a standalone it is better after reading the previous books. I really enjoyed reading this book and all the characters including the occasional scene involving Jessie's tuxedo cat James Bond. Maxx was a fun character to get to know. This story had a few unexpected twists and I liked how the epilogue tied things together as well as gave us a chance to see characters from previous books. I look forward to seeing what Cara Bristol comes out with next.

Alien With Benefits
This was the first book in the Forbidden Bonds series by Cara Bristol and as usual I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this series and finding out more about Joule and what his story is in the next book Alien Incognito.

Alien Incognito
This is the second book in the Forbidden Bonds Series by Cara Bristol and although it could probably be read as a Standalone story it would be better after the first book since Giselle and Joule were both introduced in the first book. I really enjoyed this book and seeing how everything worked out for them as well as all the twists that the story took along the way. I look forward to finding out who the next book in the series will be about.

Alien Undone
This is the third book in the Forbidden Bonds Series by Cara Bristol and it was a great addition to the series. I really enjoyed reading Nadir and Millie's story and getting to know both their characters better after meeting them and their interactions in previous books in the series. The book can be read as a standalone but is better after reading the previous books. I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

This was another really sweet and lighthearted paranormal romance and I have really liked all the books and characters I have read in this series. This book focuses on dragon shifters Jazz & Idris both of whom are fun to get to know and I enjoyed getting to read about them in this quick little story. I look forward to reading more of this series in the future as well as more by this author.

I loved this book and thought it was another wonderful addition to this series.

I can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

This book was a nice quick Halloween read and I plan to read more by this author in the future.

Axall
This was another wonderful book in the Vaxxlian Mail Order Brides series full of wonderful characters and an entertaining storyline. I loved getting to know both Axall & Rachel as well as Rachel's employer Karla who gets her own story in Alien Warrior's Second Chance. The epilogue at the end of the book set one year later is also really cute. I look forward to reading and reading many more books featuring Vaxxlian Warriors.

Khann
This book was really good and I loved Belle's daughter Amie and how she instantly bonded with Khann, their relationship was so cute. I also enjoyed seeing how the relationship between Belle and Khann slowly evolved as they got to know one another. Khann was such a great character that I enjoyed getting to know. I look forward to reading and rereading many books featuring these Vaxxlian Warriors.

Myadd
I enjoyed getting to know both Myadd and Sienna in this book as well as Sienna's friend Skylar (who gets her own story in Alien Warrior's Devotion). I have really enjoyed reading the Vaxxlian Alien Mail Order Brides series and am glad to be able to continue on with these characters lives in the sequel series Vaxxlian Matchmakers.

This book does a great job of picking things up after Bond and gives the reader the chance to continue to see how things are going for Bond & Posey while getting to know Georgia & Rocky better through their story. I am really enjoying this series so far and am looking forward to reading Rima & Magnum's story next.

Bond is the first book in the Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides series as well as being part of the larger scale Intergalactic Dating Agency Series. I enjoyed reading this book and getting to know all the different characters in this story and am looking forward to getting to know them better in the next book in the series.

This was a very enjoyable book full of Christmas spirit and I enjoyed getting to know both Rue & Noel. They both had strong personalities and it was fun to watch as they grew closer and their relationship began to develop. I haven't read many books with reindeer shifters and it was a nice touch for a Christmas book. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

This was the first book from the Fairhaven Falls Series that I have read and it was a lot of fun. I loved the characters and background details about fall to make this a wonderful read to help get into the spirit of the season. All the characters were fun to get to know and I enjoyed seeing how the relationship between Jessica and Leo progressed throughout the story. I look forward to reading more books from this series in the future, especially the next book Wedding for My Werewolf: A Cozy Monster Romance about the werewolf sheriff Eric that was a side character in this story.

I have really enjoyed reading this series so far and thought this book was a great addition to the series. I thought both Erica & Rupert were fun and interesting characters to get to know and found some of their anticks amusing. I was glad that they were able to work through their past misunderstandings and enjoyed seeing their relationship develop as they got to know each other after so long being against each other. The ending was good and I look forward to reading the next book in the series as well as the few side stories I haven't read yet.

This is the first book from this series that I have read (although not my first book by this author) and it was a lot of fun. I loved Abby and Roarke and getting to read their story. The Bigfoot couple was a cute addition to the story as well. I look forward to reading more books from this series as well as other books by this author.

This is my first book by Robyn Sarty and while I did enjoy this Retelling of the Princess and the Pea and liked all the characters the going back and forth from past to now every other chapter threw me a little. That being said it was still an enjoyable story and I plan to look into more by this author and definitely plan to read more from this multi author series. The poems at the beginning of the book were also fun little additions that captured the feel of the Princess and the Pea well.

This was my first book by Mary Mecham and I thought it was a very well written Retelling of Red Riding Hood with a few autumn elements thrown in that wove into the story really well. All the characters were so well written and the background draws you into the story really well. I loved Greyson and Scarlett and thought that the side character Tristan's bumbling use of words he didn't know but thought he did was an amusing bit of humor thrown in from time to time. There is a little bit more darkness near the end of the story but it wouldn't be a Red Riding Hood Retelling without some dark twist in it and everything turns out fine. The epilogue set 12 years later was also really fun. I look forward to reading more from this author as well as more books from this multi author series.

This was a wonderful Retelling of Rumpelstiltskin with lots of wonderful characters and it also does a great job of bringing the fall season into the story. I have loved every fairy tale retelling by Abigail Manning that I have read so far and this one met my high expectations as well. Charlotte's cat Gourd was a fun sidekick and I really enjoyed the way things developed between Charlotte & Crow. The epilogue was a fun way of tying things up. I look forward to reading more from this multi author series as well as many more of Abigail Manning's retellings.

This was a really fun Retelling of Puss in Boots and I loved all the characters and seeing how everything came together in the end. Kitty and Puss had a fun relationship to read about and he was such an interesting cat and sidekick that I enjoyed whenever he decided to grace us readers with his presence. Constantin was a really good character as well and I enjoyed reading about him and seeing how him and Kitty grew closer during the story. I look forward to reading more Grimm Academy stories in the future.

I really enjoyed getting to read about Nikki & Koriv’n in this story and loved how sweet Koriv’n was and all the research and planning he had done for when he finally found his mate. I have read a lot of this series before (out of order) and have enjoyed them all and it is fun getting to see some of the characters mentioned here when I know what their story will be in the future and it makes me want to revisit some of their stories since it's been awhile since I read them.

I really enjoyed this book about Rosie and Harkan and thought it was a great fairly lighthearted story that wasn't a long read. I have only read one other story from the Seven Brides for Seven Alien Brothers series (book 5) and look forward to backtracking to some of the others in the future as well as reading many other books by Honey Phillips since I always enjoy them.

This is the first book in the How the Aliens Were Won series that I have read and I really enjoyed all the characters and the story (as always with a Honey Phillips book). While I am sure there are aspects I would have enjoyed more if I had read the previous books it works fine as a standalone. Tomlin & Etta were wonderful characters and I was glad everything worked out for them. The ending and epilogue were really good and I look forward to reading more about Finnar’s story in Big, Bad Alien: An Alien Shifter Romance.

Review is for Bear Claw Bake Off by Robin O'Connor
I really enjoyed this story and the characters Joe (Bear Shifter) & Neely (Hedgehog Shifter). The two of them made a cute couple and this was a quick and fairly light paranormal romance that I was happy to get the chance to read. I have loved everything that I have read by Robin O'Connor so far and look forward to reading more by them in the future.

I really enjoyed this book and all the characters involved. It has been a few months since I read Molly and the Minotaur so it was nice revisiting this world and getting to know Tauro better as well as getting to know Callie and seeing how the two of them were able to mend their relationship. Seeing how Leo and Molly from the previous book are doing was also nice and I look forward to exploring this world and it's characters more in the future.

This is my second book by Julie K. Cohen as well as from this series and I enjoyed this one as much as my previous book Whisked Away by the Alien. I liked the characters Kobrik and Kenzie as well as the added Halloween elements in the story and how they confused Kobrik. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series Shadowed by the Alien (also a new Halloween story) as well as backtracking for the Valentines Day book Kissed by the Alien. I also plan to read some of the other books involving Zyanthan Warriors in the future.

This was my first book by Olivia Sinclair and I enjoyed getting to know these characters in this age gap story. This story does a decent job of world building but focuses more on the 2 main characters since it isn't a long story. I plan to read more from this series in the future.

This is the first book by Sue Mercury that I have read and I really enjoyed it. Deza was a really good character and was really sweet about how he went about trying to court Annika using human methods after she explained how human courtship usually progressed. I loved him getting her a Christmas tree after she explained it to him. I look forward to reading more of this series and other books by this author in the future.

I really enjoyed the story for Macy and Dakk and learning more about the both of them. The epilogue was really sweet and ending things on a positive note. I look forward to reading Stacy's story next.

I have really enjoyed reading the Vaxxlian Alien Mail Order Brides series and am glad to be able to continue on with these characters lives in the sequel series. I enjoyed getting to know both Myadd & Sienna in this book as well as Sienna's friend Skylar (who gets her own story in Alien Warrior's Devotion). I and am glad to be able to continue on with these characters lives in the sequel series Vaxxlian Matchmakers.

This was a quick and interesting Retelling of Rumpelstiltskin with some well written characters. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This was an enjoyable and quick Retelling of Swan Lake and I look forward to exploring more of the short fairy tale retellings in this series as well as some of this authors longer fairy tale retellings.

This is the first book I have read by A.G. Marshall and I am glad I came across it. This was a quick and enjoyable Retelling of Cinderella that takes a unique twist. I look forward to reading more from this series as well as checking into other books by this author.

This is a short but well written Retelling of Sleeping Beauty that I enjoyed reading overall. All the characters seemed fairly well developed considering this is a short story with not a lot of time to work with and the background was also filled out enough to draw me into the world.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was another really fun addition to the Alien Abduction Series and while each book can be read as a standalone I have read the last couple and enjoyed getting to see how Cronan and Unity from Unity and the Usurper were doing. I was really happy to see Wraith get his own story after his very brief scenes in the previous couple books and thought him and Willow made a great couple in this book. Willow was also a really enjoyable character. The young alien girl Sooni and her grandfather were also a nice addition to the story and I liked how everything turned out for all four of these characters. I look forward to reading more from this series and author in the future.

This was the first book in the Fated Mates of the Xilan Warriors series and it does a really good job of introducing the series and the world it will be taking place in as well as the initial characters. The first book is about Lydia and Gorok and I enjoyed seeing how they developed as individuals as well as their relationship. The story rotates points of view from chapter to chapter allowing the reader to get to know them better. The next book in the series "Alien Prince's Bride" will be between Avery and Prince Vikar and I look forward to reading their story.

This was my first book by Jade Waltz and I really enjoyed the story and the characters. I am also looking forward to reading more books from this series and hope the next one comes out soon.

This book is the first book in the Alien Adoption Agency series by Tasha Black and does a good job of introducing the characters and setting up the basic backdrop of the series. I enjoyed reading this book and about the main couple for this book. The bond between baby Sol and Noxx was really cute and I really liked Luna as well. I plan to continue reading this series and look forward to seeing what happens next with Aurora in the next book.

I enjoyed reading this story even though I haven't read the first book in this series and while it did take me a little bit of time in the very beginning of the story to figure out who was who and get into it I think that was more because of the large number of characters involved in the story than that I hadn't read the first book. I enjoyed getting to know all the characters and seeing how the story unfolded as well as all the descriptions about the different characters and magic. I would have liked a little more at the end about how Evanelle adapts once she settles in and seen how her and Kieran's brothers got along. Overall I enjoyed reading this story and plan to look into more of this authors books.

This book was a really fun Retelling of Puss in Boots and I appreciated that the author added a brief summary of the original fairy tale at the beginning because this isn't a fairy tale that I was as familiar with. The characters are all really fun and I enjoyed all the different ways each character interacted with Faye's inherited cat Baldwin. This book is connected with Callie and the Pumpkin Seed: A Cinderella Retelling and all the main characters (except Baldwin) were originally introduced previously so it is more enjoyable to read them together but it could probably work as a standalone as well. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future since I have loved each one so far.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I LOVED this Retelling of Cinderella that includes a touch of the Princess and the Pea in the last quarter of the book as well. All the characters were well written and Callie was so sweet and caring. I also loved Prince Everett and all of his jokes and puns throughout the story. This was such a great retelling and I look forward to reading this books companion Faye and the Feline Feat: A Puss in Boots Retelling featuring Callie's friend Faye.

This was my first book by Kenzie Skye and I thought it was an enjoyable retelling of Sleeping Beauty with a lot of details and world building packed into a fairly quick read. I look forward to seeing what Fairy Tale Retellings are added to this series in the future.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was my first book by Astrid Eliasen and I really enjoyed it. The characters were well written and it was fun seeing the human expressions and and activities through Kulfirth and how he misunderstood them. I plan to read more of these books in the future particularly the two previous books in the "Alien Love Encounters" series that were written by this author that center on Bridget's friend and sister.

This was another great book in the Monster Mercenary Mates Series and I really enjoyed getting to know Mitnick better as well as his human mate Harper. They were a great couple and it was fun to see how their relationship developed. I look forward to reading the next book in this series as well as more of Robin O'Connor's other books.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

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.

This was a really interesting retelling of "Red Riding Hood" and while it does have some scenes that were a little darker than my usual preference that isn't really surprising when reading a book based on "Red Riding Hood" and the rest of the book was good enough to make those scenes worth it. I enjoyed reading about both Rosa & Sir Chase and was glad to read Sir Chase' story after having read about him in a few other books from this series.

Queen Margareta's tale is Silence: Little Mermaid Retold (Book #05)

This story was a really interesting read, and I enjoyed all the glimpses into the other stories in the series as Briska worked behind the scenes to see the various couples get together safely. It took a few chapters for me to get into the story but then it was really enjoyable.

Here are a few examples of the many stories connected and mentioned in Melt: Snow Queen Retold
The next tale in this series is Spin: Rumpelstiltskin Retold (Book #13)

Tale of Melitta, George and the dragon is in Embellish: Brave Little Tailor Retold (Book #07)

This retelling of "Goldilocks" was interesting and the characters were well written. The ending came together really well and I am glad it ended on a positive note after all that Ursula and Bernard went through. I also look forward to reading more about this world and the characters in it.

This book was another good addition to the series and I had no problem with understanding the story even though I haven't read the second book in the series yet. I enjoyed the characters in this story and plan on reading more of this series in the future.

This was an interesting book and I enjoyed getting to know the characters involved in this series. I plan to continue reading this series and hope to see glimpses of how things are doing for Olivia, Wulf, and Olivia's niece and nephew later on.

This was a quick and fun monster romance featuring a human and a lizardman and I am glad that I came across it. It is fairly lighthearted and the epilogue leaves them off in a good place. I plan to look into reading more by this author in the future.

This book is the first in a new series and does a good job of introducing the world the series takes place in. I enjoyed the characters and getting to know them as well as seeing how Jamie and Alex bonded and how their relationship developed after first meeting in real life. I look forward to reading more of this series and her friends from the game joining her as the series continues.

This volume had a lot of great chapters & plot twists. I loved seeing how all of the characters and their relationships evolved throughout the book as well as getting to know more about them and their pasts, especially Sabrina & Shinji's pasts. This volume also introduced a new character that looks like he will add a lot to the story.

I read the second book in this first and then backtracked to this one after enjoying Wingman. I really enjoyed getting to know all the characters in this book and look forward to reading more of this series.

This was the first book in this series that I read (although I have also read and enjoyed other books by Cara Bristol) and I really enjoyed the story and all the characters. I look forward to backtracking to read the first book in the series as well as the books that follow this one.

This is the third book in the Alien Castaways Series and so far I have loved reading all 3 books. I really enjoyed getting to know Psy better as well as seeing more of Shadow, Tigre, Chameleon, and Wingman although Inferno wasn't in this book much. I also enjoyed getting to know Mysk better and would like to see more of him in future books as well. Psy and Cassie's relationship was a fun story that I really enjoyed reading. I look forward to reading the rest of this series.

This is the fourth book in the Alien Castaways Series and so far I have loved reading all of them. I was so happy to see Shadow finally find his Genmate before he ran out of time and the way things turned out was amusing. I really enjoyed how his relationship with Mandy began as well as getting to see the start of Inferno's relationship with his Genmate and their meeting. I look forward to seeing how things work out for Inferno in the next book and getting to know him better.

This is the fifth book in the Alien Castaways Series and so far I have loved reading all of them and getting to know all the characters as well as getting to see how the characters from the previous books are doing as the series continues. Inferno was such a great character and I enjoyed seeing how his and Geneva's story unfolded. I am also looking forward to the next book and seeing how things work out between Tigre and Kat.

Tigre is the sixth and final book in the Alien Castaways Series and I have loved every book and all the characters in this series. Tigre and Kat had their issues but eventually worked everything out and I was happy to see how things turned out for them. I was also really happy to see in the author comments at the end that although this was the final installment in the Alien Castaways Series I is not the end for this world as a new alien romance series featuring Edwin Mysk is being planned. I look forward to seeing what happens next for the ’Topians.

This is the third book in the Prime Mating Agency Series but was the first book in the series and worked fine as a standalone story. I enjoyed this book and the characters as well as the way the story was written as a whole and I plan to look into some of the other books in this series.

This was an interesting retelling of the Princess and the Pea and I enjoyed getting to know Princess Sativa and her betrothed Reidar. The part in the beginning of the book when they meet as children was really cute. The book does take some pretty dark turns later on but has a good end. Reidar's cousin Rudolf looks like an interesting character and I look forward to reading his story Blow: Three Little Pigs Retold (Book #09).

Rudolf and Portia's story is in Blow: Three Little Pigs Retold (Book #09)

This is a very interesting adaptation of the Little Mermaid that has some reference to the six swans with Margareta taking a vow of silence to break the curse that turned her brothers into birds although here it's twelve brothers into ravens instead of six into swans and her brothers deserved to be cursed rather than being victims. I liked the characters of Erik and Margareta as well as Penelope and look forward to reading more about them in future stories.

Prince Yi's parents Yun and Ava's story is in Fly: Goose Girl Retold (Book 03)

This book was really fun & I loved all the characters! I really enjoyed the plot line in this book & watching how the relationships between the characters developed, especially the relationship between Anica & Jasper. I am looking forward to reading the sequel.

This was an interesting retelling of "Rumpelstiltskin" and I enjoyed reading about Molina and how this series draws so many connections to other books within it. This book also sets things up really well for a retelling of "Rapunzel" that I hope will be added at some point in the future.

I am not really that familiar with the fairy tale "Brave Little Tailor" that this story is based on but I enjoyed this book and liked the characters and enjoyed seeing how the two main characters grew during the story as well as their relationship. I also look forward to reading more about this world and the characters in it.

I am not very familiar with the story Goose Girl that this was based on but I liked the characters of Ava and Gun as well as the Empress (Guns mother). I didn't like a lot of the other characters as this story had a lot of villains and dark elements in it but I look forward to reading the next book in this series and what happens with Ava's sister Bianca.

This is the first book in the Romance a Medieval Fairytale Series and is an intriguing retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It was not my first book in the series that I have read and each story in the series has connections to another and share a world but they don't need to be read in chronological order to be enjoyed. I look forward to reading more of this series.

Contains Chapters: 1 - 4
1.) Tsubasa & Arisa
2.) Himetsubaki Junior High Class 2-B
3.) King Time
4.) Akira Manabe

This was the first book by this author that I have read and I found it very interesting and well written. I enjoyed the various different characters as well as how the story had multiple plots in it between the characters lives and Wanda the writers life. At one point we even got to see Trevor in his original story before he comes back to the house Hannah is stuck in. It was also nice to be able to see things from different perspectives (Hannah's view versus Trevor's when it was the character's story and Wanda's the rest of the time) and how the characters were able to help Wanda break free of her circle of bad habits long enough for Austin to help her find clarity. I liked the character Austin and seeing how him and Wanda interacted once he entered the story. The last chapter takes place 18 months later and it is nice to see how things turned out for Wanda as well as her characters.

This was a quick and entertaining variation of the Princess and the Pea fairy tale and I would like to read more of this authors fairy tale retellings in the future.

This was another really fun addition to the At the Alien Hotel series and I enjoyed getting to know Taruk better after the brief glimpses we have gotten in previous books in the series. I enjoyed seeing how Zoe and Taruk interacted throughout the story and how their relationship evolved. The yum-yums were also entertaining and I was glad to see the hotel critic Rathdalia make another appearance and that he got to have some fun at the hotel in this book. I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

This book is the prequel to the Xarc'n Warriors Series and does a good job of introducing the world this series takes place in. I backtracked for this book since I have already read a lot of the books that have been released so far and have enjoyed them all so far. It was nice to get to read about Cynthia & Cov’k and I also enjoyed the mentions of other characters whose stories I have already read.

This is the second book in the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides Series and I really enjoyed getting to read the story for Flame (AKA: Vin) and his love interest Carrie. This story can be read as a stand alone but is even better after reading Spark because you have a little more background information. I look forward to reading the next book in this series Blaze and think this series is a fun addition to the overlapping multi-author Intergalactic Dating Agency Series.

This was the third book in the Starlight Vikings Series and was about Rune and his human mate Laurel who signed up looking into a story and not planning on actually meeting her soulmate. They have some issues along the way but I was happy when everything worked out for them. While this is the last book for the Starlight Vikings I hope that the author revisits this world in the future with some new aliens to sign up with Hot Tatties dating agency.

This is the second book in the Starlight Vikings series and is about Errik and Holly.

I look forward to reading the next book in this series Berserkr and getting to know Rune better.

This was a great continuation from the Starlight Highlanders Mail Order Brides series and I enjoyed the introduction of the Vikingr alien Vikings to the world previously established in the first series. It was fun to see the evolution of Steff who had been a minor character in previous books as well as how Njal changed over the course of the story. I look forward to reading Errik's story in the next book Drengr as well as Rune's story in Berserkr.

I really enjoyed this story and getting to know both Vera and Grabon as they worked together to help the Elvar. Both of them had strong personalities that complemented each other and I was glad to see how everything worked out for the two of them in the epilogue. I am looking forward to seeing Wraiths story in the next book Willow and the Wraith: A SciFi Alien Romance after his brief appearance here as well as in the previous book Unity and the Usurper.

Thorrn is Book 01 in the Starlight Highlanders Series
This was my first book by Skye MacKinnon and I really enjoyed it. This was a fun book and I enjoyed getting to know the characters in this story and look forward to reading more books from this series. There was also a link at the end for a bonus chapter that takes place 1 year later that was a fun addition.

Eron is Book 02 in the Starlight Highlanders Series
This book was a good continuation of the Starlight Highlanders series and I enjoyed that we got to see a little of Jenny and Thorn in this book and how it tied this story to the previous one by having June connected to Jenny through Jenny's sister-in-law. June and Eron were fun to read about and I loved the baby Taigeis that Eron was taking care of. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Cyle is Book 03 in the Starlight Highlanders Series
This is the third and final book in the Starlight Highlanders Mail Order Brides Series and it does a great job of tying things up for the planet Albya. I enjoyed Beth and Cyle's characters and seeing how they worked together to find a cure for the Sleep. I look forward to reading more by Skye MacKinnon in the future.

Sixx (Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #4)

Sixx is the fourth book in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides series and was about two new characters named Moxie and Sixx. Moxie is connected to Lexi and Toni from the first two books in the series and we also get to briefly meet her friend Barb who is the heroine of the next book in the series. I really enjoyed getting to know Moxie and Sixx and seeing how things unfolded for them as well as the unexpected twist about another side character. The epilogue was really cute and I enjoyed meeting Sixx's son. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Kord (Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #5)

Kord is the fifth book in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides series and was about Barb & Kord. We briefly met Barb in the previous book so it was nice to see her story and I enjoyed seeing how things worked out with Kord. Kord came to earth with his brother Braxx who signed them both up without telling Kord first. While this book is centered around Barb and Kord's romance we get a peek at the next book's story about Holly and Braxx when they meet when Braxx comes to meet Barb. I look forward to reading more about them as well as getting peeks into how all the other characters are doing in the future.

Braxx (Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #6)

Braxx is the sixth book in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides series and was about Holly and Braxx both of whom we met in book five Kord. I really enjoyed this story and seeing Braxx interacting with all the kids through his job as a teacher's aid as well as when he volunteered as a big brother for one of his students was really sweet. The epilogue at the end of this story was also a really fun and feel good chapter. I look forward to reading more from this series and any other Dakonian books as well

Darak (Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #1)

This was a really good introduction to this series and I enjoyed getting to know the characters as well as seeing how the relationship between Lexi and Darak grew through the story. I look forward to reading Lexi's sisters story next.

Aton (Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #2)

I really enjoyed reading about Toni and A ton in this story and seeing how they overcame all the problems and misunderstandings that got in their way. I look forward to seeing how things work out for Caid in the next story.

Caid (Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #3)

This book is the third book in this series and is about Caid trying to convince his IDA Matchmaker that she is his destined mate. Both characters were introduced in the second book in the series. I really liked Caid in this book and was glad when they managed to reach their HEA with a little outside help. I look forward to reading more of this series.

Krash (Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #7)

This was the seventh book in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Series and I enjoyed this one just as much as the rest of the series. I enjoyed revisiting characters rom previous books to see how they are doing including a few brief interactions with Enoki from Alien Mischief (Alien Mate Book #4) which I had coincidently just read. I also really enjoyed meeting and getting to know all the new characters in this book and seeing how Krash and Cyan's story came together. I have loved all the books I have read from this series and look forward to seeing what comes next for the Dakonian's whether in Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Series or it's connected Alien Mate Series.

This was a very enjoyable Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood and had several characters that I enjoyed getting to know. This is the second book in the Villain's Ever After Series that I have read and I look forward to reading more from this series and exploring more new authors through it as well.

This was a quick and interesting retelling of Little Red Riding Hood and I plan to look into reading more from this author.

This was a really enjoyable story and while it does deal with recovering from the loss of loved ones it still has plenty of lighthearted moments to keep the mood of the story up. I enjoyed getting to know Rhea better after having met her previously in Recalling Memories For Forgetful Phoenixes and I also liked Jack's character a lot as well. I look forward to reading about Jack's roommate Rupert in the next book Mixing Drinks For Tipsy Weasels.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved this book and thought it did a great job of introducing the Dakonian world as well as laying the groundwork for the series. I have already read the fourth book in the series as well as the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Series so I was familiar with some things but loved backtracking to get a fuller history of where the series began and getting to know Starr and Torg in this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book and reading about Torg's brother finding his mate as well as getting to know him better since seemed likable based on what we got to see of him in this book.

This was the sixth book in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides series and was about Holly and Braxx both of whom we met in book five Kord. I really enjoyed this story and seeing Braxx interacting with all the kids through his job as a teacher's aid as well as when he volunteered as a big brother for one of his students was really sweet. The epilogue at the end of this story was also a really fun and feel good chapter. I look forward to reading more from this series and any other Dakonian books as well.

This was a great book with lots of interesting characters and a great plot that pulls you in. This was a fairy tale retelling based on a combination of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses", "Little Red Riding Hood", & "Robin Hood". The main influence came from "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" with details from "Little Red Riding Hood", & "Robin Hood" thrown in along with the authors own original additions to make a very entertaining story. This was the third book in it's series however it is not necessary to have read the previous two to understand and enjoy this one although I am sure they would add to it. I loved reading about how Petunia and Oliver met and watching how their relationship grew throughout this book and also enjoyed seeing how Petunia and her sisters interacted with one another. I am definitely planning on reading the first two books in this series as well as other books by this author.

I really enjoyed this Retelling of The Goose Girl and while it isn't a fairy tale that I am overly familiar with I have read a few other retellings. I loved getting to see Helena and Wilhelm's story finally come together and really liked the two of them a couple. I look forward to reading more of this series and exploring more fairy tales in this world.

The epilogue for their story was really nice and I am looking forward to reading the next book and what happened for Helena.

I really enjoyed this Retelling Of Red Riding Hood and thought it was a good addition to this series of standalone fairy tale retellings. This book has some great characters and I liked the reference that Red makes about Goldilocks inspiring her to become a Huntsman. I look forward to reading more from this series.

Huntsman Theo and the Princess he is betrothed to are in Lilies Of Loss: A Fairy Tale Retelling Of The Frog Prince (Book 04)

Zerrin (Red's Roommate) is in Glints Of Gold: A Fairy Tale Retelling Of Rumpelstiltskin (Book 06)

This was my first book by Lorelei Johnson and was an interesting Retelling of Red Riding Hood. I liked how the grandmother used bedtime stories to tell Scarlett about her past as well as the way the Red Cloak was made into a protective element that impacted the story without Scarlett being aware of how significant it was. I plan to look into reading more of the books from this series in the future.

I really enjoyed this Retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Abigail Manning. This is the second book in the Emerald Realm Series and while it can be read as a standalone it is better after reading Poisoned Heart since we first get to meet Lady Aurelia Lockly in that book. I really enjoyed Aurelia & Elias' story in this book and Elias' dog "Bear" was such a fun addition as well. I look forward to reading more books from this series as well as this authors other fairy tale series.

This book is the 5th book in the Earth's Children Series and takes place after Ayla and Jondalar finally reach his home the 9th cave. I really enjoyed this book and getting to meet all of Jondalar's family as well other members of the Zelandonii. As always with the books in this series there is a bit too much detail about the area and research about the period but there is more story and focus on the people as well so it is not too much skipping in this book.

I love this series and all the characters but since the characters are traveling the author includes a lot of research about the environment and history of the regions that I wound up skimming to get back to the story. I loved when they came across other groups of people though.

I really enjoyed this book and feel it is my favorite book of the series so far. The characters and plot were all really well put together.

This has been such a fun series and I loved seeing how the author incorporated dragons into the world of Pride and Prejudice as well as all the different types of dragons and their personalities. It was also really fun getting to know all the characters and seeing how Elizabeth and Darcy bonded throughout the series. The epilogue at the end of this book was also really cute and I look forward to reading what else this author writes about this world as well as some of their other Pride and Prejudice based books.

I am really enjoying this series so far and thought this book did a great job of continuing the storyline from where book 1 Pemberley: Mr. Darcy's Dragon left off and I can't wait to see what happens next in Book 3 Netherfield: Rogue Dragon: A Pride and Prejudice Variation. I look forward to seeing how Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship will continue now that they are betrothed as well as seeing how things go for Mary.

I really enjoyed reading this variation of Pride and Prejudice and how the author created a world with dragons that seemed so easy to imagine. I loved all the characters and getting to know all the dragons and their different personalities. While this book didn't leave off on a cliffhanger and could leave off here I definitely do want to read more of this series to find out what happens next and how Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship will develop later in the series since they haven't reached an understanding yet by this point.

This was an interesting retelling of Beauty and the Beast that took place in Louisiana in the bayou with the curse being the work of a voodoo witch.

I LOVED this story and the characters Ru’ol & Stella. This was such a fun book and I really liked seeing Ru trying to understand all the Christmas decorations when he first got there and his love of hot chocolate is so cute. I also really liked how the book wrapped their story up in the epilogue. I look forward to reading many more books by Robin O'Connor in the future including the next book in this series There's an Elf in My Cockpit.

This was a really enjoyable retelling of Beauty and the Beast in my opinion and I enjoyed getting to know both Sabela and the Goblin King Nyar. I look forward to reading more of Lidiya Foxglove's Fairy Tale Retellings in the future.

This is an enjoyable Retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses with a lot of world building to bring the readers into the world of the book. This book also does a really good job of creating several wonderful characters that contribute to the story and doesn't just focus on one main couple the way several of the other retellings of Twelve Dancing Princesses I have read do. We get to know several of the princesses and 3 of them have romances to some extent in this book although 2 are more in the background than the eldest of the twelve. Overall I enjoyed this book and am glad I came across it.

This was my first book by Emily Michel and I found it to be an entertaining book set in a small town with several fun characters and an interesting plot. The epilogue at the end was nice but I might have wanted to see how things were a little further into the future for the couple.

This was my first book by Clarissa Lake and while I did enjoy the overall story and the characters there were a few parts of the book were I didn't feel as drawn into the story as at other times. The epilogue was good and I liked how the story ended.

This is the sixth book in the Obscure Academy series and is about Essie and Byron (both are Sprites) and them getting back together. Their relationship and breakup is briefly mentioned in the background of previous books so it was nice to get to read their story here and see them get back together. I look forward to reading the next book in this series Minor Inconveniences For Annoyed Pixies.

I really enjoyed this book and getting to know Michaela better after reading about her in previous books in the series. Michaela & Owen's story was really cute and a lot of fun and this book also gives us a large peak into Thalia and Evander's story (Blind Dates for Lonely Gorgons) as well as a bit more info about Essie so I am looking forward to reading more about her and Byron in the next book Trading Names For Polite Sprites.

This is the fourth book in the Obscure Academy Series and it focuses on Fiona (Mermaid) & Wade (Merman). Their story was really good and I enjoyed both their characters as well as learning more about the Mer society in this series. I hope Georgie gets a book at some point because she seems like a really fun character. This story also has a bonus prologue available on the authors website that I read after the story that was cute.

This was the first book from the Obscure Academy Series that I have read and while I am sure there are things I would enjoy with more depth if I had read more of the series it was really enjoyable on it's own. This was a cute Halloween story that I was able to read quickly. I plan to look into more of this series.

This is the first book in the Obscure Academy Series and it focuses on Krissi (Leopard Shifter) & Jeremy (Tiger Shifter). This is the second book in the series that I have read in this series and they can all be read as standalone books but they also have lots of characters that show up as background / side characters throughout the series that also have their own full books as well. I look forward to reading more of this series and getting to know all the characters from this book better as well as any future characters.

This was my first book by Kate Sinner and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and world of this series. Jen & Valtair made a fun couple and I enjoyed Valtair's two friends as well and look forward to reading the next book in the series about Sutek. I hope we get to see more of Rist in the future as well as their friend Taruk who we heard about but didn't get to know much about in this book.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I really enjoyed getting to read more about Sutek and Rist after hearing about them in the prequel Oh No, I Got Myself Abducted And Kissed An Alien Pirate: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance Short Story. While reading the prequel first added to the story it could work as a standalone as well since this story focuses on Sutek and his human mate Elana. I enjoyed getting to read their story and look forward to reading more from this series and author in the future.

This was my first book by Leslie Chase and I really enjoyed it. All the characters were well written and I loved Megan’s alien cat Nebula and her collar that allowed her to be communicate. This was a fast paced story and I enjoyed getting to know Drask & Megan as well as Megan’s neighbors. It would be nice to see more from this world about some of the other characters in the future.

Review is for Bound to the Dragon by Robin O'Connor
I really enjoyed this story and the characters Rosy and Char. Rosy was a nymph and I haven't read many books with nymphs in them so that was fun and Char was a Dragon shifter. I enjoyed seeing how they grew closer as they fixed Rosy's inherited farm up while she was learning about her heritage and abilities. This is the first paranormal romance I have read from this author since I usually read their science fiction romances and I enjoyed this book just as much as all their others I have read so far. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future and maybe even some of this books other stories.

This was a really fun retelling of Cinderella. This book was really interesting and I enjoyed the fact that the author lets you pick what the character does at different points in the book. I definitely plan on rereading this book with different routes. Perhaps even all 8 routes eventually.

This time I read route: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9
I loved reading this route and seeing how the story unraveled. All the different characters were really interesting and I loved seeing how they interacted with one another. I especially loved Cinderella and her relationship with Ty.

This story is a very interesting retelling of Cinderella with several interesting characters and twists that shape the story in unexpected but intriguing ways. This is a great story that keeps the reader interested and makes the reader want to keep reading till the end.

This was a very enjoyable retelling of Cinderella and I liked the fact that her stepsister Lacey was not a bad person and actually becomes an ally of sorts and begins to try and repent and treat Cinderella nicely. The end was also really nice and wraps things up nicely as well as giving readers a glimpse into the future. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.

This was an interesting retelling of Rapunzel with great characters and I loved the beginning when her and the prince were children. They were so cute together. This book did get more serious in the middle but has a happy ending with an epilogue to tell about their future. I plan to read more Fairy Tale Retellings by Jenni James in the future.

This was another very enjoyable fairy tale retelling by Jenni James. I enjoyed this retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses and seeing how everything worked itself out at the end as well as the way the author summarized Casey and Aleck's future. I look forward to reading more Fairy Tale Retellings by this author in the future.

This book is part of the Grimm Academy Series of Stand Alone Fairy Tale Retellings and so far it is only the third I have read although I do intend to read them all. I enjoyed reading this Retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses and getting to know Audrey & Eugene in this story. It was fun that Audrey had a cousin from a previous book in this series that we got to interact with although I haven't read Pumpkins And Proms: A Fairy Tale Retelling Of Cinderella yet so I look forward to backtracking and reading Florian & Ella's story later. Three of Audrey's Twelve younger sister's also joined the story partway through the book and Karen also has a fairy tale connection by introducing elements of "The Red Shoes" which is a Fairy Tale by Hans Christian Andersen that also revolves around dancing that I was less familiar with although the two worked together here really well. In the end notes the author says she may write more about Karen later which should be interesting.

This was the first book in the Alien Mate series that I have read although I have read several books from it's related Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Series. I really enjoyed the plot and characters in this book as well as seeing how things came together for Madison and Enoki. I look forward to backtracking to read more of this series as well as many other books by Cara Bristol.

Entered in the Alien Bride Lottery

This book was the first in the series and I think it did a good job of introducing the world it takes place in as well as having an interesting story and several great characters that I hope to learn more about as the series continues. This books couple was Natalie and Cav and I enjoyed seeing them getting to know each other while she was determined to return home and he was determined to protect her and do whatever her took for her to be happy. The epilogue of this book sets things up really well for what the next book will be about.

Captured for the Alien Bride Lottery

This was the second book in the series and involves Zont and his human mate Amelia and their story is really interesting between Amelia having removed her translator to avoid being tracked but also making it harder to communicate and then also finding themselves under attack while he is trying to convince her that he is her mate. I enjoyed getting to know both Zont and Amelia in this book. The end and epilogue of this book also begin to set things up for the next book in the series and I look forward to finding out what happens.

This was another great addition to the Xarc'n Warriors Series. This book can be read as a standalone and while I have read other books from this series (Books 01 - 04, Books 06 - 09, & Book 11) I haven't read them all yet. This book focuses on Heather & Nov’k and starts with Nov’k meeting Heather when he goes to rescue a fellow Xarc'n Warrior named Kan’n that is being held prisoner by the human survivor group Heather lives with. It was fun to read their story and see how Nov’k was attempting to understand human courtships since he got his advice from reading various romance novels that were unrealistic in reality. I also enjoyed the glimpses of how other characters from previous books were doing as well as reading the interactions between Pip, Kan’n, & Sam since I have already read their story and had backtracked. The epilogue at the end was a really cute. I look forward to reading more from this series as well as reading the spin off series Xarc'n Warriors: Mountains.

This book is part of The Shifter Season Series and can be read as a standalone. I haven't read any of the other books in this series yet but I plan to in the future. This was a fun and quick regency romance about tiger shifters Josephine and Otto and I enjoyed getting to know them. I have read and enjoyed several books by Laura Greenwood and look forward to reading more by her in the future.

I loved this manga! It was really fun getting to read about how and when Sailor V first became a Sailor Scout and getting to see how she adapted to her new life as well as seeing her early missions.

This was my first book from the Dragon Brides Series and the second book from this set of three connected books in the series and I loved the world and characters involved. I look forward to reading the next book about Knox's brother Flint as well as backtracking later to read about their brother Asher before reading more of the earlier books from this series. These books are a great addition to the Intergalactic Dating Agency Series.

This was a really fun and sweet retelling of The Frog Prince and I look forward to reading more of this authors fairy tale retellings in the future.

This is a very interesting story with hints of Cinderella and a few hints of The Frog Prince if you squint. I liked both the main characters Rodan (water spirit) and Ella and enjoyed seeing how their story unfolded. The epilogue at the end was a good way to tie the story up and I liked seeing how Ella and Rodan were doing.

This was a fun Retelling of The Frog Prince and I enjoyed getting to know Marigold better after having read the previous three books in this series, although it isn't necessary to read them as each book can be read on their own. I also liked the Huntsman Theo that is introduced in this story. I look forward to reading more from this series and seeing more about these characters as well as the characters we haven't met yet.

This is the first book in the series and does a good job of introducing the world, several of the characters, as well as having a good plot to the individual book and introducing an overall ongoing mystery for the series as a whole.

This was the first book I have read from the Purple Oasis paranormal romance series and I was able to jump in and enjoy this book pretty easily although I am sure it is better if you have read previous books. It is fairly light for a post-apocalyptic book and I enjoyed reading this story. I plan to look into reading more from this series in the future.

This is the third book in the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides Series and the last book of this set but their is another trio of books to the series with a new set of characters that I look forward to reading. I have really enjoyed this series so far and enjoyed getting to read Sev's story as well as the epilogue at the end of this book.

Spark 
This is the first book by Michelle M. Pillow that I have read as well as the first book in the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides Series and I really enjoyed the story and characters. I look forward to reading the next book in this series and think it is a fun addition to the overlapping multi-author Intergalactic Dating Agency Series.

Flame 
This is the second book in the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides Series and I really enjoyed getting to read the story for Flame (AKA: Vin) and his love interest Carrie. This story can be read as a stand alone but is even better after reading Spark because you have a little more background information. I look forward to reading the next book in this series Blaze and think this series is a fun addition to the overlapping multi-author Intergalactic Dating Agency Series.

This is the third book in the Horned Holidays series and I loved it just as much as the first two. All the characters are so well written and Jacks drone is another fun character that has a mind of it's own just like in the first two books although in this case it forms a strong protective bond with him. I have loved this series so far and look forward to reading more by this author.

I really enjoyed reading about Nicholsarian and Jenna's story and the relationship that developed between Nicholsarian and her daughter Lottie was cute as well. This was another fun addition to the Horned Holidays series and I loved the epilogue at the end with Nicholsarian and Krampasarian introducing their new families and mending their rivalry. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

This was my first book by this author as well as the second book in the Horned Up for the Holidays series of standalone novellas set in a small town called Winter Bliss. I really enjoyed Sofia and Samite's story and getting to know Samite better after his brief introduction in the first book of the series. All the characters in this series are so fun and the first two books really complement each other. I look forward to reading the last book in this series and getting to read Noelle's story.

Holly's story is in Holly's Unjolly Christmas.

Noelle & Rom will get their story in Beastly & Bookish: Horned up for the Holidays.

This was my first book by this author as well as the first book in the Horned up for the Holidays series of standalone novellas set in a small town called Winter Bliss.

Samite's story will be in Holidays Ablaze: Horned up for the Holidays.

This was my first book by [author_link_13585] and I thought it was a fun alien holiday romance with some great characters and an entertaining storyline. I enjoyed getting to know both Kitty and Jon and thought the epilogue was really sweet. It could be fun to revisit this world and get to know some of the other characters better but if not it was a good holiday read that isn't too long.

This was a fun book and I enjoyed reading what Erro thought about Rachel's Christmas decorations as well as other things around her living room before he was able to communicate with her as well. I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

This volume was a lot of fun and was a great addition to the series. I loved the first two volumes and was really happy to hear that the author had decided to continue it after all this time. I really enjoyed getting to read more about Chiyuki & Toya and see how their relationship is continuing to grow slowly but surely. I can't wait to read the next volume in the series.

Contains Chapters:
Eleventh Snow
Twelfth Snow
Thirteenth Snow
Tenth Snow: Bonus Manga

This volume was really fun and I enjoyed seeing how all the characters have developed so far. I am really looking forward to seeing what happens next and am glad that the series is being continued.

This book was really fun to read and had some really interesting characters in it. I am looking forward to reading the next volume.

Contains Chapters 1 - 3: This book was a lot of fun to read and has a unique and entertaining plot. I love all the characters and am looking forward to seeing how they develop as well as how their relationships grow.

This volume also contains a bonus story called "Sweet Bite Mark" about a Vampire and a girl claiming to be his daughter when she shows up on his doorstep one day. It's a really cute story.

I remember reading Beastly years ago and I think this book complements it really well from what I remember. I want to reread the first book now to see the story from his perspective again now that I have read Lindy's. I plan to read more from this series in the future. This author is really good at fairy tale retellings.

I read each of the three books individually as they were released.

Awakened by the Heir (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 book from the Aussie Alphas series of standalone Omegaverse romances that I have read and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters in this story and am glad to have come across this series. I am adding the first two books from this series to my TBR list.

Outback Claim: June & Ben

Outback Mate: Poppy & Doc

This was my first book by Jamie K. Schmidt and I really enjoyed the story, characters, and world the book took place in. I haven't read many Bigfoot romances before but really liked this story and thought Kael was a sweet character that I enjoyed getting to know as well seeing his relationship with Maya. His mother Asha was a great character as well and I was happy with how the story ended. I plan to look into reading more by this author and have already added an upcoming book to my TBR list.

This is the first book in the new Alien Snack Searcher Series and I enjoyed getting to know Vrek and Serena in this story. I hope to be able to read more about the characters in this book in the future as well as reading other books by this author.

This was my first book by Bea Gallo and I really enjoyed the world this story took place in and hope that the author writes more books set in Minos Falls, North Carolina in the future about some of the other characters. Leo and Molly are both strong characters and I enjoyed getting to know them and seeing how their story came together.

This is the fourth book in the series that I have read and enjoyed so far and each has been fine to read as a standalone. I enjoyed all the different characters in this book and seeing how everything came together. The Epilogue at the end was also really well done and tied things up nicely.

This is a fun and quick Regency Retelling of Cinderella. It is part of a series but each book in the series can be read as a stand alone story.

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.
