Wolf.E

This was my first-ever motorcycle club book, and I totally loved it! It’s a bit different from my usual reads, so it felt super refreshing. I totally fell for the main guy, Gabriel. And wow, the chemistry between him and Brinley? 🔥 But it was more than just that. It’s a story about losing trust in people and finding it again. I’m definitely gonna add more from this series to my TBR!

Credence

This captivating book was highly recommended by so many people, and I must admit, I initially envisioned it as a completely different story! The way everyone spoke about the sexual relationships between the main girl and her “family” but here’s the twist: they’re not actually related by blood! This tale is deeply rooted in the lives of four extraordinary individuals navigating their way through life’s challenges. Tiernan, a girl who has just lost her parents and endured a childhood marked by loneliness and neglect, finds herself living with her father’s stepbrother and his two sons in the remote mountains of Colorado. In this setting, she realizes she’s not alone anymore and uncovers the profound meaning of family and love through the heartfelt connections she forges with Jake, Kaleb, and Noah. Yes, there is some fairly taboo moments, but if you can look past that for a moment, you’ll witness the beautiful transformations that her presence brings to the men as well. It’s a powerful and moving story about found family and love that will tug at your heartstrings! You absolutely must read this!

My Emergency Contact is a Wolf Shifter

This story was super cute, and honestly, it really was. But as someone who’s dived into wolf shifter books before, I struggled a bit with the whole idea. I mean, how could a wolf shifter not have a clue about what a fated mate bond is? He’s the alpha’s son, prepped to take over the pack — it just didn’t add up. Still, I really appreciated how the book tackled mental health issues — it actually acknowledges them and talks about asking for help. Overall, it’s a decent read, but if you’re picking it up for the wolf shifter angle, you might end up feeling let down.

Rejected Fate Trilogy

I totally binged this trilogy, so I figured I’d review the whole series. I was in the mood for some wolf-shifter action and someone suggested this series by Jen L. Grey. If you’re into wolf-shifters, vampires, witches, and fae, then these books are totally for you! It kicks off with a mate rejection but then throws you a curveball you won’t see coming. The drama, the yearning—there’s so much to dive into! But I wasn’t a fan of the audiobook; I really think it should be done as a duet or something. The narrator just didn’t vibe with me, and I found myself wanting to read the books on my own, which wasn’t super easy. I’d give the books a solid 4 stars and the audio a paltry 2 stars.

American Squire

This book is part of the New Camelot Series and it’s a quick read about Ryan Belvedere, who used to be President Maxen’s (Ash) aide. I totally fell for him and was excited to see how his journey unfolds. The story kicks off with him on a mission to grab a book for Merlin and Nimue over in England. It’s only a short read at 59 pages, but it’s all about him rediscovering himself since he’s not an aide anymore. I really enjoyed the story, but honestly, it felt way too short for enough character growth, especially after getting so into the deep storyline of Ash, Embry, and Greer. I just needed more.

Cards of Love: The Moon

This book is part of the New Camelot Series and it’s a quick read about Merlin and Nimue. I was super excited to dive in, but honestly, I ended up just skimming through a lot of it. Maybe I was still caught up in another story, so I might give it another whirl later on.

New Camelot Trilogy

Why did I wait so long to dive into this? I’ve had these on my TBR forever! Honestly, Sierra Simone tends to write about some pretty taboo stuff — at least the only book I’ve read from her was Priest. I knew I had to be in the right mood for it, but it kept calling to me whenever I saw it sitting there. Since the other book I was reading wasn’t grabbing my attention, I decided to put it aside for now and jump into this trilogy. And wow, am I glad I did! I couldn’t put it down. As soon as I finished one book, I was grabbing the next one. That’s why I’m reviewing them all together. First off, if you’re picking this up for the steamy scenes, you won’t be disappointed. They’re definitely dark. BUT, there’s so much more to these books. They’re kinda like a retelling of the King Arthur story. It’s about Maxen (Ash) who’s the President, Embry who’s the Vice-President, and Greer who’s the First Lady. But the story kicks off way before that. I don’t want to spoil too much — you know how I am about giving away plots. Just trust me, read it! There’s so much going on — war, politics, betrayal, forbidden love, secrets, kidnapping… I could keep going! This series makes you question a lot. And the ending? You totally won’t see it coming. That’s all I’m saying!

Bad Boy Era

Another incredible masterpiece by Amy Daws! It was absolutely thrilling to finally dive into Everly’s story, especially since she had always been such a vital force throughout the series. Watching Wolf and her navigate the whirlwind of emotions was a delightful experience; I laughed and cried in equal measure. The antics of the uncles brought so much joy and laughter! This truly was the perfect, heartwarming conclusion to the Mountain Men Matchmaker series.

Broken Ties

I was absolutely captivated by Broken Ties and its unique perspective from the boys of The Bonds That Tie series! It was incredibly enlightening to dive into their thoughts as they navigated the complexities of their “bond.” This insight truly enhanced my understanding of these characters on a deeper level. My only slight disappointment was that it didn’t explore further, but nonetheless, it remains a fantastic read that should undoubtedly be savored last!
