It’s time for another last five reads post. I’m really enjoying doing these types of posts. It’s a great way for me to talk about books that I am reading before I do my monthly wrap-up. But it also lets me go a little more in-depth than I normally would.
So let’s get right into it. I’ve been in a little reading slump recently, but I am feeling like I’m getting out of it. And here are the books that I have read recently that have helped with that.
Kings of Mayhem MC #1-#6 by Penny Dee: I’m putting all these books together because then it would just take up my whole post. But one of the things I do to get out of a reading slump is re-read. And I kept seeing this series pop up on my tiktok read, so I went ahead and re-read them.
It was really nice being back into this world and reading an MC romance. I sometimes forget how much I love reading MC romanes and this one sparked my love for it again.
I really enjoyed this series the first time I read it, and I felt the same when I re-read this month. It’s fun and a little dark, but it’s also emotional as hell and I love that.
I think my favourites have to be Kings of Mayhem, Off Limits and Bull
Kulti by Mariana Zapata: I’ve been wanting to read another Mariana Zapata for a while now and I just felt like a good sports romance. I’ve read quite a few Mariana Zapata now and this has definitely jumped up to one of my favourites.
If you haven’t read a Mariana Zapata be prepared for a slow burn. And this was slow. But it was so good. It was sexy, romantic and a classic Zapata. The romance was really interesting and while I did want a little more angst between them after they bother realised they liked each other, I was still pretty happy.
Overall, I really did enjoy Kulti a lot. I would have also enjoyed it if we were also on his pov. But it’s okay.
Knight’s Legion MC #1-#2 by Naomi Porter: Now that I’m on a MC romance kick, I picked the first books in this series up. And in all honestly, I’m not sure how I feel.
Firstly I wasn’t a massive fan of the writing. It went from feeling childish to all macho man. It was like whiplash. I couldn’t really like Storm, the male protagonist a whole lot. He was so 180. And couldn’t make up his mind. This meant that the story just kept on flipping.
I liked the premise of the book, but I didn’t feel that it was done so great. Again there was just so much in here, and I could not keep up. But the thing is. I want to keep on reading the series, just so I know how all the books turn out. And what happens with everyone else. I’m just not sure what I am going to do.
Three of Hearts (Harpies of a Feather #1) by Lillian Lark: I’ve been wanting to read a Lillian Lark book for a little while now, and I also wanted something quick and short. And this was the perfect book for that.
While I didn’t fall in love with this book. I really did enjoy it. It’s fast-paced, a hot romance and some supernatural creatures that really interesting. Three of Hearts is a romance between a werewolf, a demon and a Harpy. Which I found so interesting and why I picked this book up.
The romance was very fast-paced and while it did move just a little too quickly for what I normally like. The book is under 200 pages. So it’s not bad in that perspective. I liked all three of our protagonists and I enjoyed that we got to see a little bit of each of them. This book was just a lot of fun. And if you are looking for a quick, supernatural romance then pick this up.
Alight (The Firecracker Cousins #1) by A.H. Cunningham: I hadn’t heard about this book until Ely showed me something that featured it. I didn’t know too much about it when I picked it up either, but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit.
I’m not a massive contemporary reader. It’s probably the sub-genre that I read the least, but this one was not only fun, but emotional, and I didn’t want to put it down.
The romance in this was a second chance romance and oh I loved it. It was these best friends who no longer talk to one another, who come together again and just. It was also sexy and sweet. I cannot wait to continue reading this series, because I will be doing that for sure.
And there we go. Those are my last five reads as of me writing this post. What have you read recently? did you enjoy them? Let’s Chat!
