"Quickies" March 2021

It has been some time since I've had to write one of these. I've read a lot of books these last two months and haven't really had the time to sit and write a long review on every single on of them. So I hope the few short lines bellow help you some. 

Thanks for reading! 


Kiss of the Highlander (Highlander #4) by Karen Marie Moning, 5 Stars

&

The Immortal Highlander (Highlander #6) by Karen Marie Moning, 4 Stars

This series is an easy "go-to" for me when I want to read something I know I will like and that won't take me forever to finish. Kiss of the Highlander has some humor while being romantic and sexy. Drustan has been "sleeping" for nearly five centuries when Gwen, literally, falls on top of him. From than on is a matter of him convincing her he is not mad and her deciding if she trusts and believes on him or not. As for The Immortal Highlander, I wouldn't recommend reading this one without having read the previous books. Adam Black is a very arrogant and full of himself fae that you can't help but love. He was punished by his queen for something he did in the previous book and no one can see him. Until he crosses path Gabriel that is. She can see him, and now he needs her help to get to his queen so she will restore him to his formal glory. 

Reaper's Property (Reapers MC #1) by Joanna Wylde, 3 Stars

I am trying to read more MC books this year, I really like them and I am happy to say this one was a good read. MCs are not for everyone, specially if they are done well. They rarely deal with characters that are in good standing with society. Marie just left an abusive relationship, and getting together with a big bad ass biker is not in her plans. Horse (yes that is his name. And yes, for 'that' reason) disagrees. When her brother steals from the club she becomes the perfect bargaining chip. Horse pays the debt, but she is his to do with whatever he wants...


Cherish Hard (Hard Play #1) by Nalini Singh, 3 Stars

Another great read by Nalini Singh. She always write great stories. I have to say though that I much prefer her paranormal books. Although this one was good it didn't excite me and at times I even found a little boring. Sailor wants to create a successful landscaping business and is solely focused on that until he meets Isa, the daughter of the company he just signed a contract with. They end up working together and getting to know each other really well. But is it meant to be? she doesn't need another workaholic in her life and Sailor needs to work hard if he is to succeed with his plans. 

Baker (Devil's Disciples MC #1), 2 Stars

This book had a promising plot. The MC robs a bank and six months later the girl whose life turned upside down because of it ends up getting a job next door. Is it coincidence? It could have been good, really good. But, it is a little offensive to brasilian woman and woman in general really. On top of that the plot is full of holes and things that don't connect. 

Heart of Steel (The Vikings MC #1), 3 Stars

Another good MC! Remi lost her dad and trying to juggle university, her dad's business, grief, and having a normal life. It is hard and she is failing. Steel does not walk in the right side of the law and although he cares for Remi and wants her to be his one of the clubs dealing messes up her life and not in a good way. Can he fix it? will she forgive him?


Blue Morning Vol. 1 to Vol. 8 by Shoko Hidaka, 3.5 Stars

I never read anything that dealt with Asian hierarchy in so much detail, and so I was intrigued and very interested through out, but at times it was a little much. The romance is heavily imbedded and has a direct correlation to the way the hierarchy and society of the time worked. It was sweet, full of drama, and frustrating all at once!

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...
