A Billionaire, Monster & Hunter | Mini Reviews

A Billionaire, Monster & Hunter | Mini Reviews

March 19, 2023 Posted by angelreads Book Reviews, Mini Reviews No Comments

It’s time for another mini-review time and today I’m sharing my thoughts on a few of my recent reads with billionaires, monsters and hunters.  I had a little slump in the middle of April but I finally feel like I am out of it and I’m trying to read as much as possible. I feel like reading and I know what I want to read at the moment. 

So today I’m sharing my thoughts on a new release from an author I love and then 2 books from new-to-me authors. I really liked all the books that I’m sharing with you today and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. So let’s get right into it, here are my thoughts on Final Offer (Dreamland Billionaires, #3) by Lauren Asher, Luxuria (Shades of Sin, #1) by Colette Rhodes and Death Wish (Reaper Reborn, #1) by Harper A. Brooks.

Final Offer (Dreamland Billionaires, #3) by Lauren Asher:

I knew going into this one I was going to be hurt. All I heard even before it came out was how emotional this would be and they weren’t wrong.

The Final Offer follows the last of the Kane brothers; and for me, it was the most emotional and impactful of the three. This is a second chance, ex-friends to lovers with a single mum and forced proximity.

I adored both Callahan and Alana, they have both been through some shit and both aren’t ready for each other. My heart broke so many times for Cal, he just needed help. and he needed to do it himself.

The romance was hot and heavy, but also slow and sexy at the same time. It was nice seeing these two fall in love again.

This was a perfect ending to this series and wrapped up everything nicely. I’m excited to see what Lauren Asher does next.

 

 

 

Luxuria (Shades of Sin, #1) by Colette Rhodes:

I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading this one. I’ve been slowly reading more and more monster romances and this one caught my eye. And I’m so happy that I picked it up.

I loved the arranged/forced marriage situation here, it made the dynamics between Ophelia and Allerick so enjoyable and intriguing. You can tell from the start that they don’t like each other on principle. Which gives off small hate-to-love vibes.

There was also a great set-up for the world here, and I want to know even more. the monsters in this world were interesting and I can’t wait to find out more.

Overall, I really enjoyed this smutty, sexy and sexy monster romance and I’m excited to read more of this series.

 

 

 

Death Wish (Reaper Reborn, #1) by Harper A. Brooks:

I didn’t know if I was going to like this one, I picked it up as the author is going to be at one of the events I’m going to this year. And I’m really glad that I did. It wasn’t what I was expecting but I was surprised nonetheless. 

Jade Blackwell is a little lost. She doesn’t know much about her past only that now is a reaper. When her latest target isn’t really dead things are about to get much more interesting. 

It’s got that 2000, paranormal romance kind of vibe which I adore. The romance is very low and there are just a few parts here are there that got steamy, but it’s a very slow burn. 

While a lot did happen in this one, it has also set up the rest of the series really well, and I’m super excited to continue. With monsters and paranormal creatures, this one hits the spot. 

 

 

 

And there we go. Those are my thoughts on some of the books I’ve read recently. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of these? Have you read any monster romances? What about paranormal romances? 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.
…

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!
