My Last Five Reads | May

My Last Five Reads | May

May 19, 2022 Posted by angelreads Last 5 Reads No Comments

I’ve really been liking doing these posts the last couple of months, so today we are doing another look at my last five reads. My reading has been so much better lately, especially since I’ve not had a great two months. But I’m finally feeling in the mood and loving reading at the moment. 

I also want to note, that I do write these posts a little in advance but not too much. So if you follow me on GoodReads, you might notice that we are a little behind. Anyway, let’s get right into it. Also if I binge read a series I just include it as ‘one book’ for this. Let’s go! 

Red Ridge Sinners MC #2-4 by Caitlyn Dare: I’ve put off reading this series until it was completed and I realised a few days ago it finally was. So I read books 2-4 which follows River and her men Diesel, Zach, and Jax. This is an MC romance that is dark, and gritty and I’m really into it. It’s very much a hate/dislike to love romance between River and her men.

There is a dark romance, with quite a few trigger warnings. So before you pick this one up, please just check before you read it. 

But if you like those times of romances with love- interests that just aren’t that kind, then pick this up. 

Pack Origin (A Blissful Omegaverse #0.5) by Kate King and Jessa Wilder: There isn’t much to say about this one. It’s just under 100 pages but is an excellent introduction to the world that these authors have created. 

Pack Origin follows Bliss in an omengaverse world. Living in a foster home with the boys that have always been there for her. She’s a beta, they are alphas but that doesn’t change much between them. Then things start to change. Not just between Bliss and her boys, but within Bliss herself.  

I’m not sure when I’m going to start the rest of the series, but I’m excited.  

Triple-Duty Bodyguards by Lily Gold: I didn’t know what to expect when I started this book. It sounded intriguing and I wanted a fun read. It’s not a ‘fun’ read per se. I still did enjoy it a lot. 

When Briar is confronted with a stranger in her own home, she knows she needs more protection. Bring in the Angels and now Briar doesn’t just have one man to protect her but three. 

They are protective, aggressive and will do anything for Briar. It started off making sure she is protected, then it turns into making sure she is also loved. 

 

Lessons in Corruption (The Fallen Men #1) by Giana Darling: This was actually a re-read for me. In my anticipation for the upcoming book in this series. I wanted to do a re-read and just get myself back into the world and timeline. 

I really do love this series, and this is the book that kicked it off for me. Please check trigger warnings before jumping into this book and series. This one has an age gap romance with some forbidden territories. I’m so excited about the new book. Ekk. 

 

One Night in Garoureve (The Shifters of Garoureve #1) by Elle M. Drew: I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. But as soon as I started it, I knew I was going to love it and I did. 

It’s sexy and hot. But also really addicting. The romance was really interesting and I loved them together. I wish we were able to see a little more of the life after secrets are revealed, however, it’s a series. So I am hoping we see them again soon. 

I can’t wait to continue reading the rest of the series. It makes me so excited. 

And there we go. Those are the last five books that I’ve read so far this month. As you can see from this post I’ve really enjoyed a lot of my last five reads. What have you read recently? Did you enjoy them? Let’s chat!

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?
