A Up-and-Down Reading Month | March Wrap Up

A Up-and-Down Reading Month | March Wrap Up

Mar 30, 2023

March was a very up-and-down month for me. I went into a little reading slump and didn’t end up reading as much as I wanted to read. I ended up reading about 14 books, which is on the lower end for me. But I still read some fantastic books. 

I read quite a few new authors this month in my preparation for signings that I’m going to this year. And I’m really excited because I discovered some that I already really enjoy and cannot wait to read even more. I also read books from some authors that I have been loving over the last year or so. 

So let’s get into it. While the month was very up-and-down here are the books I read in March. And as always they are in no order. 

Pitch (Saving Abbie #1) by Maggie Alabaster and Jo Bradley. – 3.5 Stars | Pound (Saving Abbie #2) by Maggie Alabaster and Jo Bradley. – 4 Stars. | Session (Saving Abbie #3) by Maggie Alabaster and Jo Bradley – 4 Stars. | Muse (Saving Abbie #4) by Maggie Alabaster and Jo Bradley. – 3.5 Stars. 

Death Wish (Reaper Reborn, #1) by Harper A. Brooks – 4 Stars. | Property of the Mountain Man (Montana Mountain Men #1) by Gemma Weir. – 4 Stars. | Owned by the Mountain Man (Montana Mountain Men #2) by Gemma Weir. – 3.5 Stars. | Kept by the Mountain Man (Montana Mountain Men #3) by Gemma Weir. – 4 Stars.

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
