Resting Witch Face Stay a Spell #5 by Juliette Cross

Blurb:

  • Second chance romance
  • Vampire masquerade ball
  • Only one bed
  • Mutual pining
  • Forced Proximity

Twelve years ago, Jules Savoie ended her relationship with the vampire overlord of New Orleans, Ruben Dubois. For good reasons. A woman in power must often make sacrifices to protect others. She knows the truth of it down to her aching heart.

When Ruben watches his best friend Devraj get married, a stinging realization hits him hard…he’s done waiting. They say time heals all wounds. In this case, it merely sharpened the pain and made one fact crystal clear. Jules Savoie is his soulmate, and nothing would keep her from him. Not anymore.

Forced to work side by side to fight for the werewolf cause, they campaign together at covens from New Orleans to London. The reignited spark burns hotter than ever before. But when a power-hungry vampire sets his predatory sights on Jules, will their love be strong enough against black magic? Or will he lose her again? And this time, maybe…for good. 

What is not to love about this series?

It is such a lighthearted wonderful paranormal romance series. The perfect introduction to the genre and the perfect change of pace to those that read the heavier ones.

I would not recommend reading this one without having read the previous books in this series, you will miss some important bits, starting with the main reason Jules and Ruben are travelling together. Much of this book focuses on that parallel story, so it won't read as fluidly without it.

That thought aside, this is another fantastic book by the lovely Juliette Cross. For very personal reasons book 4 wasn't for me, so I was ecstatic and super happy when by page 20 I already knew I was going to love this one.

Ruben was a delight. I loved his passion, his determination, his possessiveness, and most of all his devotion and loyalty. There are devoted alpha males in a lot of romance books, but one as loyal as Ruben? Nope. Not often at all. I won't spoil by saying what exactly makes me say that, but it took me by surprise. 

Jules is Jules? LOL I don't know what to say really, I always liked her, but she was never a favorite. Which is funny because I know she (and Ruben) are the favorite to many of Juliette's readers, if is not most. Jules is a very strong character, sure of herself, and deserving of her title. Which brings us to the plot as a whole...

Another reviewer described it "Witches against bigotry" and I thought that was an absolutely delightful and 100% accurate way to describe it. Werewolves deserve a seat at the table! And since they are my favorite paranormal creature, I don't care if this is fiction or not, GO WEREWOLVES LOL

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...
