The start of October was a little slow for me. I just wasn’t in the mood for reading. I still hadn’t started work at that point and I think I was just a little down. But towards the ending the month I got back into my groove and felt like reading more and more. And guess what? After 3 months I’m finally back at work. I started back this week and gosh it feels amazing to be back selling books and just being there has been fantastic. 

I read 16 books this month with all of them being romance. But I did read a range of different romances with some new genres for me as well. I also had a few re-reads this month to get me back into the reading mood. Anyway like always these are in no order. 

Rifts & Refrains (Hush Note #2) by Devney Perry: It’s a fantastic second chance romance that hit all the spots. Quinn and Graham were adorable and sexy and fit together so well. I also adored the bond that Quinn and Colin built and it just made everything better. Full Review.

Muses & Melodies (Hush Note #3) by Rebecca Yarros: This faking dating romance is hard-hitting and emotional at times, but it’s also beautiful. It explores overcoming, finding and believing in yourself and also that sometimes it’s okay to get a little help. Nixon and Zoe were perfect for one another. They balanced each other, they pushed each other. But they also loved one another. Full Review.

 Gunner (The Devil’s Angels MC #1) by Lola Wright: This one wasn’t for me. I wasn’t able to connect with the characters or the story. Everything just felt very clique and nothing really stood out of me. 

The Duke and I (Bridgertons #1) by Julia Quinn: I adored this, I loved this and it’s one of my favourite books I’ve read this year. Ely and I will be doing a discussion soon and you can see how much we both loved it. I’m so excited to read the rest of the series. 

Rookie Move (Brooklyn Bruisers #1) by Sarina Bowen: This was a re-read for me and gosh I loved it so much. I adore Georgia Worthington and Leo Trevi. They are fabulous together and I love this second chance romance so much.  

Kiwi (The Kings of Retribution MC, Louisiana Chapter #4) by Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez: I was really looking forward to this one. This romance has been brewing for a while now and I really did enjoy seeing this two fall in love. There were things that I didn’t love about this book, but overall it was an enjoyable MC read. 

Ice Planet Barbarians #1 – #3.5 by Ruby Dixon: I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading this series. It was strange, to say the least, but I kept on reading them. And I will keep on reading them. Sci-fi isn’t really my thing, and aliens are even more out of my comfort zone. Especially blue ones. But they are fun to read. 

(KGI #1-2) by Maya Banks: These were my second re-read for October. I just felt like a good action read and I knew that these would give me that. I like this suspense romance series a lot. The highs and lows make reading this series interesting and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. If that is something you are wanting, check this series out. 

Addictive (Houston Defiance MC #2) by K.E. Osborn: I read the first book in this series and the series that precedes it a little while ago and enjoyed what I read. I was a little disappointed with the start of this one, but as the book went on I enjoyed it even more. 

His Disinclined Bride (Seasons of Change #7) by Jennie Goutet: This is a book that surprised me in October. I wasn’t expecting to like this one as much as I did, but I had a really good time reading it. The romance was slow and adorable, I love the characters. And I want to look into more books by this author. You can check out my full review now. 

Lord of London Town (Adley Firm #1) by Tillie Cole: I started reading Tillie Cole this year and have many ups and downs. At first, I wasn’t liking this one, it’s dark. Very dark. And even though I read on the darker side sometimes, this was intense. But as the novel went on, I fell into the world and ended up enjoying what I was reading. I’m intrigued to see where this story goes that is for sure.
