I enjoyed reading about Ekpen & Holly as well as their cats Steven and Mistress Chaos in this series and thought this story was an entertaining and fairly quick read that does a good job of introducing the Grimalkin world into the multi author Intergalactic Dating Agency series. I am looking forward to continuing this series and reading about Ekpen's brothers Torao and Leo and seeing who they end up with.

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.

I really enjoyed getting to know King Ulric & Queen Jessamin in this story and seeing how the two of them navigated their marriage while trying to understand one another and overcome differences and misunderstandings as well as working through their fears. 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 really enjoyed getting to read about Morgan & Rhaz’k in this spin off series and am looking forward to reading about the rest of the Xarc'n Warriors in this area of the mountains. Morgan & Rhaz’k have a rocky start to their relationship but eventually work things out between them and I loved Morgan's cat Reese’s Pieces and how she interacted with Rhaz’k. I look forward to reading the next book and seeing what happens with May & Xik'n.

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. Ginger the cat is also really cute. I look forward to reading about Sophia since her story is still on my TBR List as well as Dietrich in the next book being released.

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.

I LOVED this Retelling of Aladdin and all it wonderful characters and unexpected plot twists! This story was really fun and I really liked Kya as well as her amusing parrot Kipu. 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.

I really enjoyed getting to read this newest addition to the Alien Abduction Series and am looking forward to reading the next in this series Yasmin and the Yeti as well. This book was about Xara and the Xenobeast who later adopts the name Ash and I found both characters interesting. I also loved the 3 little alien pups Dot, Trouble, and Soldier that they rescued and seeing how each of the pups' personalities evolved as well as how they interacted with both Xara and Ash. The epilogue for this book was also really good and I was happy with how things turned out.

I was so happy to see a new book in this series and finally get to read Artek's story and the story lived up to my expectations. This story is about Artek & how him and his human mate Nala get together and I enjoyed getting to know Artek better as well as Nala's character. This story also introduces another fun pet sidekick for Artek named Zap who I loved getting to read about as well. I look forward to reading more from this series in the future.

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.
