Darkest Heart by Juliette Cross- 5+ Stars [arc review]

This is my favorite work by Juliette Cross so far. Dommiel was a hard demon not to fall in love with...

Are you looking for a great paranormal romance? You have found it!

Darkest Heart may be a romance story, but it is also a lot more than that. It is a story of redemption and forgiveness. We all make mistakes, and we can all bounce back. In this case, starting with our demon Dommiel.

Dommiel is considered a traitor to both kinds, a fallen angel, and a traitor to demons. He has a very dark view on life and a cocky know it all attitude to go with it.

Then he is pared with miss goody two-shoes in a mission to find a missing angel. It was hilarious and heart warming at once. He is a traitor, he acts as if he cares for nothing. And yet, no one better dare touch 'his' sweet angel.

And as Anya gets to know him, so do we. It soon becomes very clear there is more to Dommiel than first meet the eye, things are not black and white and Dommiel falls very much in the 'grey' category of things...

Anya is a walking contradiction, she is both one of the most sweet and innocent characters I have read in a while and a fierce warrior no one should cross. And just when you are about to roll your eyes and go 'another perfect little girl' protagonist she does something that will shock you. It shocked her too. Dommiel was the only one to think it natural! LOL

Their romance was slow burning, there was an immediate attraction for sure but they both had their reasons to at least try to keep away.

The plot was also very well written, there was a natural flow to it. I wish I had read her other series before hand because some of the secondary characters clearly have a history. That being said I didn't feel like I missed anything, there was enough on them to make the story complete, it just made me want to know more. Which I suppose if you are trying to sell your books is not a bad thing at all!

Last but not least I loved how all Dommiel physical flows were written in such a positive light. He was not depressed because he was missing an eye, or angry because his hand was not a human hand. He just was. He made no excuses for it, had no shame because of it. I thought that was awesome! It doesn't bloody matter how he looked, he was imperfectly perfect.

Darkest Heart, Juliette Cross

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2)

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2) @glimpses_of_my_books These books are (to me at least) two VERY different books and the reason you should never give up on an author after just one book. I did not like Crow one tiny bit. But I absolutely loved Reaper . One is a 1 star, while the other is a 4... Let's start with the good first, Reaper . Ronan is likely to break your heart. Throughout the book we get snippets of his past, accounts of everything he had to go through before Crow and his mother find him and save him from the horrible life he was leaving. In a way, although I wasn't a fun of Crow in the first book, his love and care for Ronan had made me like him a little better. Ronan is not quiet, moody, and broody by choice. It is a consequence of all the things he has been through, the things I mentioned above that will break your heart... He is caring and loving, but he has no idea how to put those things in action. He is, in a way, one of the mo...

The Book Hater's Book Club by Gretchen Anthony

The Book Hater's Book Club at first appears to be about a struggling bookstore and its imminent sale. Elliot, the co-owner of Over the Rainbow Bookstore, started The Book Hater's Book Club , a newsletter of reading recommendations for the self-proclaimed non-readers of the world, because he believed there was a book out there for everyone. Something I wholeheartedly agree with! For years he and Irma have kept the store going and always had a recommendation in hand. When you finish this book, you will have yet another list of books to read. However, this book is about more than just books and a struggling bookstore. It is also about grief, the price of secrets, and a little more grief. You see, Elliot is gone, and his grief-ridden business partner has agreed to sell the store to developers. Problem is, she didn't tell that to anyone until the deal was almost done. Which is making her daughters ask questions. Why is she selling? Is it grief alone? Is ther...

Vandalar Concubines 1 to 4 by V. K. Ludwig

I don't read monster romance, I have tried a few and found it is not for me. All the tentacles and slime and whatnot are not for me at all. But I find that I enjoy alien romance a lot. Especially when the anatomy is not too different. This series was great. The exact amount of cheesiness and humor I wanted this past week. It reminds me very much of my favorite romance subgenre of all time - paranormal romance with shapeshifters, wolves and bears to be exact. The first book in the series is Sign Here for Horns. Our heroine purchases herself an alien worker to help around the farm just to find out that he is a saikh. A saikh is a male concubine and trained to pleasure females in all ways possible. Their relationship is both funny and sweet. All he wants to do is pleasure her and all she wants (at least to start) is getting her farm working. Their different views on what and how to pleasure surely made for many funny scenes. Although slavery very obviously exists in this series, she...
