My Last Five Reads

My Last Five Reads

July 27, 2020 Posted by angelreads Discussions 1 Comment

I love knowing what people are currently reading or what they have recently just read. So today I thought I would share my last five reads. My last few reads have all been romances as have most of my reads this year. But they have been a mix of historical, contemporary and supernatural/paranormal. I haven’t been reading much the last month, but I feel like that is changing now. Anyway, let’s get into it. Here are my last five reads. 

Wicked and the Wallflower (The Bareknuckle Bastards #1) by Sarah MacLean: I picked up my first Sarah MacLean a couple of weeks ago and just fell in love. I love her writing, her characters, the story. Once I started Wicked and the Wallflower I couldn’t put it down. The banter between Devil and Lady Felicity was so good. I can’t wait to read more in this series. I plan to pick up the next books soon. 

The King (Black Dagger Brotherhood #12) by J.R. Ward: I’m slowly making my way through this series and this was the next one to read. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. There is a lot of angst in this one. Wrath made a lot of decisions in this one, and gosh he annoyed me. But it was great to be back in Wrath’s mind. Although we might have gotten snippets from him in previous books, I liked that we got to see him more. It was a great book in the series and moved the series along. 

Under Locke by Mariana Zapata: Over the past couple of months I’ve been slowly making my way through Mariana Zapata’s backlist and I’ve been enjoying it. Under Locke is one of my favourites from the ones I’ve read so far. I enjoyed the romance, the characters and the story. It was one that included a lot of things that I love reading. The romance did have its ups and downs for me, but overall I did enjoy it.  

Hands Down by Mariana Zapata: This is Zapata’s newest release, I had already good really good things about it, so I decided to pick it up. while I didn’t love it as much as Under Locke, I still enjoyed it. I liked that it was friends to lovers and second chance romance. The characters were really enjoyable and I liked the story. 

A Widow’s Guide to Scandal (The Sons of Neptune #1) by Hallie Alexander: I just finished this one last night and I really loved it. The romance was adorable, it made me smile so much. I also liked the time that the novel was set. I don’t read many books set during the time of the American Revolution. And I can’t wait to read the rest of this series! My full review of this one will be out in the next couple of days. 

And those are my last five reads. Have you read any of these? Are you planning on reading any of these? What are some of your latest reads? Let’s Chat!

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
