This one had all the elements for an entertaining book, but just wasn't what I was looking for. This had some great world building and steamy romance scenes, but I was expecting to like or care about the characters a little more. A romantasy with pirates and mermaids...great start. The development wasn't quite what I… Continue reading Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert

The King of Wrath by Ana Huang
The King of Wrath was my first book by Ana Huang. This is the forced marriage trope and I always like that. This also has the billionaire trope, which I can go either way, but this one was steamy and witty. Dante Russo is your typical billionaire and he doesn't want to get tied down.… Continue reading The King of Wrath by Ana Huang

Nick is a reporter from Brooklyn but he is also a closet gay. It is the 50's and… Continue reading We Could Be So Good by Cat Sebastian
