Book Review: Born in Fire

Born in Fire by K.F. Breene
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m pumped to read more!

This is the first book in the series, so we spend quite a bit of time meeting the characters.

There’s our mystery female lead, Reagan. We find out that she’s a bounty hunter who doesn’t want people to find out her lineage, because if her Dad finds out about her, then life will become difficult.

Next is the handsome, vampire male lead, Darius. Yummy! Strong, fast, sexy, and has manners to die for! Yes! These two team up to take on a mystery person who is trying to amass an army to take over and gain power.

In short, we have a fun little plot and good characters. We throw in good mages Dizzy and Callie for kicks and giggles and this is an enjoyable first book in the series.

I’m excited to read the next. I enjoy the swears this author uses. They’re creative and funny. I hope you give this a try. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Seven Day Wife

Seven Day Wife: A Fake Marriage Office Romance by Mia Faye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The title says it all

The title describes the book exactly. Except, I’m not sure where seven day wife comes from. I thought they got fake married after seven days of knowing each other and they were fake married for longer than seven days. It was hard keeping track of time in this book.

Here’s a quick summary of the book: Cam and Yvette meet outside her apartment and hook up almost immediately. Then Cam finds out Yvette is a new employee at his company. Cam eventually lies to his boss (who has Alzheimer’s) and says he’s married to Yvette. This little lie continues as Cam tries to convince his daughter’s mother, Vicki the witch, that he wants full custody of her. This sets up for a decent book.

Overall, the book was okay. I didn’t quite click with Yvette or Cam. Cam started out fairly immature for a soon to be CEO and Yvette seemed pretty naive. Their dialogue was okay, but I didn’t find myself laughing out loud or shocked by anything that happened.

The love scenes were good, but there weren’t that many of them. I got bored with the book about 1/2 of the way in. The first part of the book flew, but then it just stopped. Feel free to give this book a try, but don’t have super high expectations for it. Happy reading y’all!

Book Review: My Big Fat Fake Engagement

My Big Fat Fake Engagement by Lauren Landish
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fake romance turned real

Good book! Courtney and Kaede have known each other forever. Kaede is Courtney’s brother’s best friend and business partner. Courtney is heir to Andrews Holdings, a billion dollar company. While look to expand their business, Kaede and Ross sign with an investor, and he infers Kaede should marry his father. Kaede says he’s already engaged to Courtney and the games begin.

Kaede and Courtney are entertaining characters and the story flows well. This is a very enjoyable book. Lauren really did a good job with developing all the characters and keeping them rememberable. The story about the shrimp in the enemy’s apartment grossed me out and made me wish I had a friend who knew such devious plans!

My only criticism of this book is that it starts dragging at about 89%. The climax happens early and the last 11% drags. A few more sex scenes could have kept the story moving a little better at the end.

Overall, this is a good book. The plot is well developed and enjoyable. I definitely think you should give it a go. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review – Mr. Masters is Masterful!

Grab your vibrators and be prepared to set aside several hours, because TL Swan delivers with Mr Masters!

Brielle leaves Australia to be a Nanny for the Masters children. She believes she’s nannying for a female widower who needs to go away for a work trip, but discovers she’s actually there for Julian.

Instantly attracted to Julian, Brielle can’t control her actions. She gets caught invading his personal space, accidentally runs him over with a golf cart, and several other incidents that almost send her home within the first week, but she makes a deal for Julian to keep her for a month.

Brielle’s silliness and wildness is exactly what the Masters family needs. She brings them together and unthaws Julian’s frozen heart.

TL Swan delivers lovable characters and witty dialogue. Adventurous and plentiful sex scenes and a happy ever after with several epilogues that will have you saying “YES! YES! YES!” Read this book! You won’t be disappointed. Happy reading y’all!
