Music, an Omega and Figure Skating | Mini Reviews

Music, an Omega and Figure Skating | Mini Reviews

October 13, 2022 Posted by angelreads Book Reviews No Comments

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared some mini-reviews so today I thought I would share some of my thoughts on romance books I’ve recently read. My reading has been up and down recently, but I enjoyed all the books I’m talking about today. 

The books I’ll be talking about today are I Like You Like That by Kayla Grosse, Laurels and Liquor (Pack Saint Clair #3) by Thora Woods and Icebreaker (UCMH, #1) by Hannah Grace. Let’s go. 

I Like You Like That by Kayla Grosse

This one caught my eye a few weeks ago when I first saw it pop up on social media. I recently picked it up when I felt like reading a romance with a music star. I never understand my reading habits. But I just go with it. 

I had a lot of fun reading this one. It was fun, intense, and sexy and made me smile quite a few times. After a falling out our main characters are brought together when Birdie Wilder is in need of protection. 

Things are very intense at the start. Birdie and Liam didn’t leave their past friendship on great terms. At first, things are harsh between the pair. But slowly they both let their guards down, and well it’s sexy time then. I really enjoyed the music element of the book and wish there was a little bit more on that part. 

Overall this book was a lot of fun. But also dealt with some hard issues. And while I did really enjoy this book, I didn’t love it but I would still recommend it. 

 

 

Laurels and Liquor (Pack Saint Clair #3) by Thora Woods.

This is the third book and last book in a series that I started this year. It’s one of my most anticipated reads and I was so excited to pick it up. And while I still really enjoyed it, I was a bit disappointed. 

Laurels and Liquor start off where book two finished. We are right into the thick of things and emotions are high. There are a lot of events that happen in this book, at times it was a little hard to keep track of it all, but it was tied up nicely. 

I did enjoy the exploration of the romance in this one. It felt like there was much more time spent on them all. I adored seeing Lydia and Alexandra’s relationship expand more. And we just got to see them all love each other. 

While I didn’t love this book as much as the first two. I thought it was a great finish to the series, and I cannot wait to read more from Thora Woods. 

Icebreaker (UCMH, #1) by Hannah Grace

I’ve been seeing this one all over social media for the past few weeks. And you all know I love my sports romance. And let me tell you I loved this book so much. 

The romance was hot, and sexy but also adorable. The friendships throughout the book just made me smile so much. Nathan was this adorable dad of the group and gosh I loved it. 

There were a lot of ups and downs in this book. There were parts that I really enjoyed and other parts that I didn’t like. But what I did love was Anastasia and Nathan. My heart. They stole it. I just wanted them to play house all day long. 

I do wish Anastasia had a little more power over what happened. But I also get why she felt the way she did at times. Overall this was such a great book and I loved so much of it. I’m really excited to continue with this series when more books come out. 

 

 

 

And there we go. I really enjoyed all three books here in different ways and hope you enjoyed these mini reviews.  From new to me authors to a series I’ve loved already. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Let’s chat!

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
… 

How Race Week Reads Will Work 

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
