It Could Have Gone Better | February Wrap Up

It Could Have Gone Better | February Wrap Up

March 4, 2021 Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up 1 Comment

I only read 12 books this February and for me, that is quite a small amount and it could have gone better. However, for nearly 2 weeks of this month I was recovering from an emergency operation so can’t really blame myself. The past few days I’ve been really getting back into reading so hopefully March is much better. 

I did a lot of re-reads in February as well which really helped when I was falling into a little slump. But I mostly did just read romances as normal. Anyway like always these are in no order. 

Trouble (Hell’s Heathens MC #1) by Raven Dark: I am always looking for new MC series but this was not it at all. The only reasons I finished it was because it was a small read | 1 Star. 

Heart of Obsidian (Psy-Changeling #12) by Nalini Singh: I’ve been waiting for this one for some time now and I finally got around to reading it. It’s so good, there is nothing more that I really have to say. I didn’t know how I was going to feel going in, but I ended up loving it. | 4 Stars 

Never Seduce a Scoundrel (School For Heiresses #1) by Sabrina Jeffries: This was Ely and mines buddy read for February and let me tell you I adored this book. It was a fantastic start to the series and I cannot wait to read more | 4.5 stars – Discussion 

Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas: This was my first re-read for the month. After reading Sabrina Jeffries I needed another historical romance that I love, so I picked this one up and I loved it all over again | 4 Stars 

It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers #2) by Lisa Kleypas: I couldn’t stop at book one, so I re-read Secrets of A Summer Night and again loved it so much. The romance in this one is so good. If you haven’t picked up a Lisa Kleypas series, then just pick up this one | 4 Stars 

Lethal (The Disciples #1) by Cassandra Robbins: I am really not having much luck with my MC romances. This is another one that I found that sounded interesting but just did not do it for me. So if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. | 2 Stars 

Screw (Hell’s Handlers MC #8) by Lilly Atlas: I needed to read an MC romance that I know that I love and this is one of them. It’s not the best out there. But the romance in this one is fantastic. And I had a great time being back in this world. | 3.5 Stars 

A Touch of Darkness (Hades & Persephone #1) by Scarlett St. Clair: I’ve been seeing this book everywhere recently and I’ve been in the mood for some greek mythology and thought it was a perfect time. I ended up loving this one and I need to read the rest of the series now. This series won’t be for everyone, but I love it so far | 4 Stars 

 

 

Fallen Angel #1-#3 by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine: I re-read the first three books in this series, in February. I just wanted to read a romance that I know I was going to enjoy and this was the one.

And those are all the books that I read last month. Have you read any of these books? Are you planning to? What did you read last month? Let’s Chat!

    So sorry to hear that you had to have an emergency operation. I hope you are on the mend now.
    I think you did great with reading despite the circumstances and I’m thrilled you loved Heart of Obsidian!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
