A Gentleman's Offer by Emma Orchard

The story has all the elements of a great book—a Regency-era romance about an arranged marriage with a twin twist—but I couldn't get into it. Although the premise is quite interesting, it fell flat for me. Also, the writing style is not a good fit for me.

i want you to want me: Adam by Mary Ann Marlowe (Most Wanted #1)

It has all the right elements that make up a great rock star romance, but this one fell flat for me. I like the chemistry between them and the setup, so the first third of the book, but the rest... didn't do much for me.  She is a biochemist, working for a company that is developing an experimental perfume. She has a stable-ish life but is not happy. Her brother on the other hand is running after his dream. She is with him one night, as he has a performance, and starts talking to a guy. He doesn't seem like much, but there is something very attractive about him.  They spend the night together. The next morning, when she talks to her girlfriend, she realizes who he is.  I had high hopes for the MCs, but I had trouble connecting with the FMC, she comes across as very judge-y and she looks down on others. Her actions made me dislike her very much.   Adam on the other hand I liked from the start. He seems to be struggling with all the things that come from a life in...

Stormvalor by Starr Z. Davies

You know that feeling when you read a book so good it instantly becomes one of your favorites? The kind that pulls you in, makes you root for the characters, cry with them, keeps you glued to the pages—and then afterward, when someone asks what it’s about, all you can say is, “You HAVE to read it”? This is that kind of book. A deadly tournament. A fight to prove your worth. A chance to find a husband—or to steal one. Told through shifting POVs of three very different characters, the story paints an intense and vivid picture that ratchets up the tension and keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I was completely sucked in. The writing is so immersive, it feels like you're right there in the heart of the action. Even days—weeks—after finishing it, I still find myself thinking about the characters and all the what ifs. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy. rating ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ GoodReads || Amazon happy reading, anie

I had so much fun reading this book! Mr. Takanashi is one of the company's top performers. He is charismatic, super hot, and very popular, especially with the ladies. However, he has a huge problem with ED. He is so embarrassed that he doesn't even go on dates anymore. That all changes one night when a young Hiwatari spends the evening with him. Mr. Takanashi revealed more about himself, that he wants to and Hiwatari somehow fixes his problem. They slowly become closer and they slooowly start to open up. An office romance, with a slow burn, lots of humor, and a pretty guys. Highly recommend it rating ❤❤❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ GoodReads || Amazon happy reading, anie

Meat Eaters by Mededith McClaren

A normal hardworking girl wakes up one day to find that she doesn't have a heartbeat anymore. She also doesn't remember dying, even though that sounds like something that would stay in one's memory. :) She has a new craving for meat that scares her. All she wants is to be hidden from the world, but slowly she is dragged into a world that is unlike ours. The ghouls, werewolves, and vampires, live in the same world, just underneath the surface. She makes friends, gets tangled in all sorts of stuff, and discovers more about this new world and herself each time. The artwork is beautiful, and I was immediately hooked by the art. The storyline was interesting, but I was a bit lost at times, not knowing what was going on. Still, I can't wait to read another one, there is just something about this story, that pulls you in. rating ❤❤❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ GoodReads || Amazon happy reading, anie
