Monster Romances That I Love

Monster Romances That I Love

Oct 31, 2023

This week I’m sharing the Monster Romances that I loved to read. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Today is all about Halloween, and I’m not a big fan of horror or books that will scare me. So instead I decided to share the monster romances that I love to read. From sweet and smutty, to hot and heavy. There are all types of monster romances and that’s what makes this sub-genre so appealing to me. I have so much to read. Monster romances aren’t for everyone, but I just find it so much fun. 

Recently I shared the monster romances on my TBR, and I thought it would be fantastic to share some of the ones that I loved reading. So here we go, this week I’m sharing the monster romances that I loved reading. And as always these are in no real order.

A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor (Tempting Monsters, #1) by Kathryn Moon. | Captured by the Orc General. (Monstrous Mates #2) by Charlotte Swan. | The Dragon’s Bride (A Deal With a Demon, #1) by Katee Robert. | A Soul to Keep (Duskwalker Brides, #1) by Opal Reyne.

Gilded Dreams by Thora Woods and Shannon French. | Ghost. (The Halloween Boys #1) by Kat Blackthorne. | Bound (Monsters & Artifacts #2) by Trish Heinrich. | Luxuria (Shades of Sin, #1) by Colette Rhodes.

Sacrificed to the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons #1) by Jessie Donovan. | Muscles & Monsters (Leviathan Fitness, #1) by Ashley Bennett.

And there we go. Those are just some monster romances that I have really enjoyed reading. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Have you read any monster romances? Let’s chat!

Favourite Bookish Relationships  | TTT

Sep 12, 2023

This week I’m sharing some of my favourite relationships from books. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I had a lot of fun with this week’s Top Ten Tuesday. You all know that the romance genre is my favourite. So I had a lot of books to pick from. But I tried to narrow it down as much as I could. So today I’m sharing some of my favourite relationships from books.

I am not going to lie, I probably missed so many that I loved, but I could only pick ten. I also did still to romantic relationships as then I would be here forever and could not get close to picking ten.  So let’s get into it, here are some of my favourite relationships from books. As always these are in no order. 

Millie and Zack from Tempt (Cloverleigh Farms, #9) by Melanie Harlow. | Cade and Willa from Heartless (Chestnut Springs. #2) by Elsie Silver | Hades and Zed, Lucus and Cass. from Hades Series by Tate James. | Iris and Dex from Under Locke by Mariana Zapata.

And there we go, those are just some of my favourite relationships from books. Have you read any of the books I’ve mentioned? Who made it onto your list? So let’s chat! 

Books That Defied My Expectations

Books That Defied My Expectations

Sep 5, 2023

This week I’m sharing the books that defied my expectations. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I had a lot of fun with this week’s topic. So I decided I would share the five books that I didn’t know if I was going to like and ended up loving, and then five that I thought that I was going to really enjoy and didn’t. 

I share a lot about the books that I love reading and not so much about the books that weren’t for me. And today I get to share both. I just want to make a quick note, these are just my opinions. Sometimes a book just isn’t for me, but you might love it. And that is what reading is about. I might also love a book that you hate. And that is okay. 

So let’s get right into it. Here are the books that defied my expectations. The five books that surprised me with how much I loved them. And the five books that were a letdown. As always these are in no real order. 

The Books That Defied My Expectations and Surprised Me 

Babymoon or Bust by Ava Hunter – Review. | Muscles & Monsters (Leviathan Fitness. #1) by Ashley Bennett. | Delilah Green Doesn’t Care. (Bright Falls. #1) by Ashley Herring Blake. | The Mindf*ck Series (Mindf*ck, #1-5) by S.T. Abby.

Lola & the Millionaires: Part One and Two. (Sweet Omegaverse, #2/#3) by Kathryn Moon.

The Books That Defied My Expectations and Disappointed Me 

Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner. | The Words by Ashley Jade. | Knot My Type. (All Access. #1) by Evie Mitchell. | Custom Built. (Fast & Fury. #1) by Chantal Fernando.

Hands Down by Mariana Zapata.

And there we go. Those are just some of the books that defied my expectations in either a good or bad way. Have you read any of these books? What are your thoughts on them? What are the books that made it onto your list this week? 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!
