After last month. I really wanted to get back into reading more in august. And while it did take a little while. I’m finally back into the reading groove. I ended up reading 12 books in August, with a fair few towards the end of the month. 

It was a mixed bag this month, some were re-reads, there was one that I DNF’d. And then there were books that I loved. So, in the end, it was a well rounded month of reads. Anyway, let’s get into it. Like always these are in no order. 

Inked in Lies (The Fallen Men #5) by Giana Darling: This was my first read of the month and it was a great one to start with. Lila and Nova were fantastic together. I love seeing their relationship build slowly over the years. At times it was messy and complicated. But the reader can see right from the start how much they care for one another. Check out my full review.

Through the Storm (Le Veq Family #1) by Beverly Jenkins: I just love Beverly Jenkins. The romance in this one is strong and intense. But it’s also adorable. I loved the tension between the two and getting to watch them fall in love. I think this might be my second favourite of Jenkins books that I have read so far. 

Lick (Stage Dive #1) by Kylie Scott: This was my first re-read of the month. I felt like I was going into a little slump so I needed a pick me up book that I know that I love. This is just a fun series to read. This isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoy it a lot. 

Winds of the Storm (Le Veq Family #2) by Beverly Jenkins: I felt like some more historical romance and I thought this one would be the perfect one to pick up. I enjoyed this one a lot. The banter between the siblings is so strong and I love that with a passion. The romance was intense and adorable. And everything that I look for.

Play (Stage Dive #2) by Kylie Scott: I had to pick this one up after finishing Lick. This one is ridiculous, but I love it so much. It’s the most emotional of all the books, but it just works so well, with the protagonist and the romacne. 

Prince Charming (Royals #1) by Rachel Hawkins: This is the next book I picked up this August. This has been on my TBR for over a year now and I finally picked it up. I loved reading this one. It was the YA book that I needed. I can’t wait to read the second book. 

The Wedding Date Disaster by Avery Flynn: I was slightly disappointed with this one. I liked it don’t get me wrong, but I thought I was going to like it a lot more. I had a fun time reading it and it was a quick romance novel that was swoon-worthy and full of laughs. Check out my full review.

Dark Secret (Darkhaven Saga #1) by Danielle Rose: This was my DNF for the month. It was just weak. I didn’t like the characters, the plot. I couldn’t figure out what was happening. In the end, I skimmed the last half. 

Point of Origin (Legacy #0.5) by Rebecca Yarros: Not entirely sure why I re-read this one. But I just wanted to read a romance that I know that I love. It was like a refresher for me.  

Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers #1) by Chloe Liese: I didn’t know much about this book until the sequel popped up on my radar. But I wanted to start with the first book. And I’m so glad that I did. This book was fantastic. I adored the romance. I loved that it included disability. And it was just a fantastic read. 

Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh: I finally started this series. Nick has been telling me to read this series for some time now and I did it. And I regret putting it off for so long. It was fantastic. I couldn’t stop reading.  

Visions of Heat (Psy-Changeling #2) by Nalini Singh: As soon as I finished the first book I had to get started on book two. I had so much fun reading it. I love the characters and the world and I can’t wait for more. I’ve just ordered the next 3 books in the series. 

And those are the books that I read in August! What did you read this month? Have you read any of the books on my list? Let’s Chat!
