Review: Lost Girl by Leia Stone

Title: Lost Girl

Author: Leia Stone

 Publication date: February 26, 2021

Series: Wolf Girl

Stars: 5

Summary: I've been kidnapped by vampires and Sawyer is under some love spell.

Now I’ve got to traipse through the entire Magic Lands without getting killed to make it back to Werewolf City… hopefully in one piece.

Everything would have worked out as planned if Sawyer hadn’t gone on another revenge killing spree in my honor.
Now the entire magical world is at war, and my True Mate and I are stuck in the middle of it.

It's just another Monday. 

 Review: I definitely need more with marmal. This series so far has some very unexpected twists and turns. I went straight from book one to book two and finally around two am realized sleep was important for my getting over being sick so I went to bed... but I read 40% of book two before realizing that. I do have to say every time I read chin butt all I can imagine is two pointy butt cheeks. Butt chin and chin butt are definitely two different things. I'm so happy this cliffhanger was less cliffhanger like. As always I breezed through Leia Stone's book and am on my way to book three.

Title: Wolf Girl

Series: Wolf Girl

Stars: 5

Summary: When my parents were banished from Wolf City before I was born, I thought there was no way I would ever live in a pack again. Cuffed, with my shifter magic bound, I was forced to go to school with witches in order to keep my true nature from coming out.

Then I met him.

Sawyer Hudson.

The Alpha's son was visiting Delphi Witches' College and spotted me. He took one look at me, and an hour later, I was being pulled out of school, taken into Wolf City and leaving my parents and everything I knew behind.

It's the Alpha's son's selection year, the year he must pick a mate, and every female aged 18-22 must be in attendance.

I've landed myself in the middle of Werewolf Bachelor, and just when I think I've got a handle on things, Sawyer releases my cuffs, unbinds my magic, and sees what I really am.

The problem is, I don't know what this creature is that I transform into. It's not an ordinary werewolf, that's for damn sure. 

Review: I absolutely love Sawyer and there is no way around it.

Another thing I love about this book is that there is no real misunderstanding trope which I hate. There was a moment where she learned a bit of who she was and was afraid to tell him but then she went to do it and all was good.
I read this book without putting it down. The minute it got the their chemistry I forgot about the rest of the world. My pizza rolls were abandoned, my bladder forgot there was a tiny baby kicking it, the only thing that tried to push through while I was reading why my migraine. But alas I continued on with great speed. I don't think I physically put the book down until I was some where into chapter two of the next book. Then my body remembered I had to take care of it.
I loved every second of this book... except the end, the twist came from no where and I absolutely despise cliffhangers.

Series: Wolfed

Stars: 5

Summary: I'm a shell of a human being, a ghost of my former self.

My circumstances have nearly broken me but Maddy is there to keep me sane. Together we plot a way out of here, we comfort one another on hard days.

My twentieth birthday is coming up and I've decided that if I'm going to die anyway, I might as well kill Silas and take that bastard with me.

Curse be dammed.

My only wish is that I could see Brayden one last time before I go...

 Review: I love how the action in this one is absolutely ramped up from the last book. Sometimes you just need a book full of action. I loved her learning more about herself at every turn. I am also thankful that there was not too much of her year in captivity as that's not really the story I am looking for. I would love more of a backstory on why the fae hate the Greywolf so much. Now I am off to find my next series to dive head first into!

Review: Cursed by Love by Leia Stone

Title: Cursed by Love

Author: Leia Stone

Publication date: May 11, 2022

Series: Wolfed

Stars: 5

Summary: Following a trail of blood into the woods isn't the smartest thing I’ve ever done, but when I find an injured wolf, I can’t bring myself to leave him behind.

That decision might end up being my last because when a pack of wolves tries to attack us, it looks like we won’t make it out alive. The next day when I wake up in my bed, it all feels like a dream… except for the bite mark on my arm and the fever.

When a mysterious guy with searing blue eyes comes into my bar, hovering around me all night, I’m more than a little creeped out. He’s hot as sin, but also super possessive with legit stalker vibes. I’m convinced my instincts are right when I black out and then wake up in his arms, limp, feverish and dying.

But it turns out I’m not dying, just a newly turned werewolf. And the guy from the bar? Well he thinks I’m his reincarnated soul mate, but if that’s true I’m screwed, because according to him that only leaves me with one choice: to drop dead on my twentieth birthday.

Review: This author is truly my light in the dark. I read so many genres and books in December that I kind of hit a wall. I couldn't find a single book I could complete. Then I found the amazing Leia Stone. I have already completed two series(spoiler alert) by her and am about to start my third as I complete my backlog of reviews. I am truly going out with a bang at the end of my year by reading these amazing books! Thank you Leia for writing these stories. 

Now onto my review. I love the buildup and the story building. I love meeting each character individually getting to fall in love with them and seeing how each story combines.

Review: The Broken Elf King by Leia Stone

Title: The Broken Elf King

Author: Leia Stone

Publication date: November 26, 2022

Series: Kings of Avalier

Stars: 5

Summary: I never should have taken that loan but my aunt needed the meds and they were too expensive for me to afford by myself. Now I’ve been sold to slavery and the Nightfall Queen’s guards have found out I’m not entirely human.

I guess I’m lucky they didn’t kill me.

The next thing I know I’m transferred to the Elf King’s castle to find out that he has bought me. It will take me five years to pay off the debt but I get to be his personal assistant. Personal assistant to the king. That can’t be so bad, right?

Wrong. Oh how wrong I was.

His council has tasked me with finding him a wife before they will fund his war against the Nightfall Queen. That part should be easy, he’s rich, disgustingly handsome, and smart to boot. The problem? He’s rejecting every high born female I send his way.

The more time we spend together, the more we realize I’m not just some half elf. There is a deep power that runs through my veins, one that makes me a target. His solution?

Enter into a fake marriage with him so that he can get the council off his back and I can get some protection.

That’s a great idea, so long as I don’t fall in love with him.
Should be simple enough…


The Broken Elf King is book TWO of FOUR in the Kings of Avalier series. It's a full-length standalone fantasy romance that focuses on the Elf King Raife Lightstone.

Review: Although I was saddened to have completed the story with the dragon king and his new wife I am thrilled that all these stories are interconnected. We briefly met the Elf king in the end of book one which was a wonderful introduction into this story. I love how they fell in love even though they entered a fake marriage. It really is a sweet story but I cannot wait to get onto the third book April 2023 here I come!!

Review: The last Dragon King by Leia Stone

Title: The last Dragon King
Author: Leia Stone
Publication date: September 29, 2022
Series: Kings of Avalier
Stars: 5

Summary: The Dragon King is looking for a wife.

This news throws the women in my village into a tizzy. The king will be sending out the royal guard to bring women of childbearing age to his castle in Jade City.

There is only one requirement: the woman must carry enough magic to produce an heir for him.

I’m a watered-down human with a mere ten percent dragon magic lineage, I know I won’t be chosen, but for some reason the magic sniffers command me to present myself to the king as a possible wife.

I’m ready to go to Jade City until my mother tells me a terrifying secret. A secret that could get me killed… by the king himself.

This is a full length fantasy romance standalone with an HEA!


Review: I'll be honest I've read so many books this month that. I needed a bit of a palette cleanser. I tried to finish a few of the series I was reading and couldn't do it. So as a last ditch effort I went with my second favorite genre after smut which is Fantasy. 

This book was amazing! I finished it in less than 24 hours and have already started book two! I'm happy this series will be one of the last one's I read this year I think it will help start the year off in the right direction! 

Highly recommend this Fantasy novel with hints of Romance!

Review: Stone Heart by Katee Robert

Title: Stone Heart

Author: Katee Robert

Publication date: March 1, 2022

Series: Dark Olympus #.5

Stars: 5

Summary: In the city of Olympus, people only speak about Medusa in whispers. She’s Athena’s knife hand, the one sent when Athena wants someone to disappear. No one asks Medusa what she wants, but she owes Athena her life, and if staining her hands with blood is the only way to repay the debt, it’s a small price to pay.

Until Athena sends her after Calypso, the mistress of the rich politician Odysseus. As far as Medusa can tell, Calypso hasn’t done anything remotely worthy of a death sentence, and her conflicted feelings only get compounded when she finally sees the woman. Calypso is beautiful and cunning and she’ll do anything to keep her life—including seducing her would-be assassin.

What starts as a ploy to escape quickly spirals into genuine interest. Medusa is hardly the cold killer that rumors suggest, and Calypso is far more complicated than her reputation as a ruthless gold-digger.

But it doesn’t matter that they’ve finally found something special together. Athena will have her blood, and this time not even crossing the River Styx will save them…

Review: I have always absolutely loved Medusa. She is one of my favorites from Greek Mythology. So when I saw the opportunity for this novella I jumped at it! This version is everything. I wish it was a full book. But considering I haven't read anything else in the series maybe she and Calypso will appear in the series more. Highly recommend!

Review: Call me Crazy by Melanie Harlow

Title: Call me Crazy

Author: Melanie Harlow

Publication date: February 12. 2021

Series: Bellamy Creek

Stars: 5

Summary: It was the perfect plan.

I needed a wife—temporarily—in order to inherit the family business.
And she needed a favor—the kind that takes nine months to deliver.

We had it all worked out, from the no-touching policy on our wedding night (her rule) to the no-falling-in-love decree (mine). She’d marry me, I’d give her the means to have the baby she’d always wanted, and one year later we’d amicably part ways with no hassle, no demands, and certainly no regrets.

After all, Bianca DeRossi and I are experts at infuriating one another—we’ve been doing it since we were kids. Trouble is, she grew up gorgeous and feisty, and she still knows exactly how to get under my skin.

And that wedding night? Well, it doesn’t exactly go down hands-free.

Then she moves in with me, and I really start to lose my mind. From her sexy little pout to her wicked sense of humor to those meatball sandwiches she makes just because she knows they’re my favorite . . . I find myself wanting to break every rule we put in place.

Our story was never supposed to end with happily ever after.
But call me crazy, I just might be in love with my wife.

Review: This was the one I thought I would like the least. But I do love a marrige of convenance. Bianca is amazing I have absolutely loved all of the female leads so far! I can't wait to get through the rest of the series and then hop over to the Cloverleigh farms series! Also for anyone who hasn't read anything by Melanie Harlow yet. Start with that series first because although they are different towns it's all connected so I'll be reading them just slightly backwards.

Review: Make Me Yours by Melanie Harlow

Title: Make Me Yours

Author: Melanie Harlow

Publication date: November 23, 2020

Series: Bellamy Creek

Stars: 4.5

Summary: He’s my brother’s best friend.

The hot single dad next door.

And one accidental sext later, my massive crush on him is no longer a secret.

It’s my own damn fault. I’m thirty years old, for heaven’s sake. I’m a kindergarten teacher and a (reasonably) responsible adult. I should know better than to get tipsy and draft a fake text listing all the dirty things I wish Officer Cole Mitchell would do to me.

I wasn’t supposed to hit send.

He wasn’t supposed to see it.

And he definitely wasn’t supposed to text back telling me to go on . . .

Because after that, things escalate quickly.

Cole is everything I’ve ever wanted. He’s sexy and protective. A devoted father to his little girl. A dedicated cop the whole town adores. The kind of guy you can trust to keep his hands to himself, even when you’re desperately hoping he won’t.

I’m not the girl he thought he’d end up with, but after all this time, I might finally get the chance to say the words I’ve always dreamed of . . . make me yours.

Review: Brother's best friend is one of my favorite tropes. But my absolute favorite is single parent. So of course it's almost instantaneous that I'm obsessed with this book! However, Cole Mitchell drove me just a little crazy if I'm being honest. I gave it a 4.5 because of that. It was a fantastic read otherwise. I loved his daughter so much. 

Review: Drive Me Wild by Melanie Harlow

Title: Drive Me Wild

Author: Melanie Harlow

Publication date: August 24, 2020

Series: Bellamy Creek

Stars: 5

Summary: When Blair Beaufort literally crashes into Bellamy Creek wearing a ball gown and a tiara, I should have towed her car, said goodnight, and sent her packing.

I’m a mechanic, not a hotel manager. I've got enough on my plate trying to keep my shop from going under, my overbearing mother off my back, and my baseball team in contention for the league championship. I don’t have time for a former debutante with zero street smarts and a cash flow problem, even if she is crazy beautiful.

Problem is, she’s stranded in my small town, and I’m hiding a protective streak underneath my grumpy exterior that runs deep. So I offer her a place to stay and keep my hands to myself.

For exactly one night.

If only she weren't so gorgeous. So funny. So eager to please. She’s a disaster behind the wheel, but she drives me wild without even trying--at work, at home, in the back of my truck . . . I can’t get enough of the way she makes me feel.

But I know better than to think it can last. She wants a fairy tale, and I’m no prince.

So when it comes time for her to leave, there’s nothing I can do but let her go.

No matter how much it hurts to say goodbye.

Review: I am a sucker for a romance with a meet cute and honestly this has the absolute best one ever! I would love to say this is my favorite story out of the three I read so far but they are all so amazing that it's hard to pick. I would definitely say this series is a must read as a whole! Melanie Harlow is someone I'm just going to blindly purchase from now on as I haven't read one book of hers I haven't adored. I was a little worried I wouldn't like the debutant princess but she immediately broke that image I had of her to pieces and stole my heart. I love all the books I've read her in since too. 

Review: Give Me More by Sara Cate

Title: Give Me More

Author: Sara Cate

Publication date: June 16, 2022

Series: Salacious Players Club

Stars: 5

Summary: I’m a scoundrel

Playboy. Man whore.
Basically, I get around, and I’m not afraid to admit it.

So when my best friend opens up Salacious Players’ Club and asks me to head the construction, how could I say no?
Now we’re on a cross-country road trip touring other kink clubs, and I couldn’t be happier.
Life is good.

Then Hunter suddenly asks me to sleep with his wife…while he watches.
I’ll do anything for my best friend, but this is the one request I should say no to.
Isabel is the woman of my dreams, but she’s his.
And the exact reason I should say no is the one reason I say yes.
Because it’s not only Isabel I want.

These are the two most important people in my life, and if we go down this path, how will I ever be able to walk away?
I’m not sure my best friend understands just how much I’m willing to do for him—and why.

Review: First I would like to start by saying by goodness this series has absolutely gorgeous covers! Now out of all of the books in this series I thought this would have been the hardest one for me to read as I have never actually attempted a MMF book before. However out of the three I read so far I devoured this one the quickest. This may be the hottest book in the whole damn series. I love how much the characters had to overcome and how they handled it. I honestly didn't think I would like Drake's book as I kind of hated him in the first two but damn do I love him now. 

Review: Eyes on Me by Sara Cate

Title: Eyes on Me

Author: Sara Cate

Publication date: April 28, 2022

Series: Salacious Players Club

Stars: 4.5

Summary: I’m a voyeur—it means I like to watch.

And in my line of work, that’s a gift.

As one of the four owners of the Salacious Players’ Club, I’m comfortable on the sidelines. This is what I was made to do, and I work better alone.

Until the day I stumble on a certain cam girl app and find myself watching the one person I should never have watched—my step-sister.

There are three big problems with this.

One, Mia and I can’t stand each other.

Two, she has no idea I’m the man on the other end of the video.

And three…I’m hooked—on the app and on her.

Now, Mia has me wanting and doing things I said I’d never do again, like opening upand getting attached. I’m falling for her, but she’s falling for the mystery man I’m pretending to be.

If I’m going to make this right, then I have to do more than just watch.

But how far will I go to keep her eyes on me?

Review: This book was again a bit of a struggle for me. But it was me and not the book. I knew going in it would be a bit of a forbidden romance just like the first one but it caused a small struggle internally. But honestly again once I got past my initial ick I was fantastically written! I definitely recommend this forbidden romance to all. Honestly this whole series so far is fantastic!

Review: Praise by Sara Cate

Title: Praise

Author: Sara Cate

Publication date: March 17, 2022

Series: Salacious Players Club

Stars: 4.5

Summary: He calls me perfect.

His flawless pet.
His good girl.

Broken down and wounded by my emotionally neglectful ex, I wanted someone to tell me I was good enough.

Then, I stumbled into a new job with a boss who brings me to my knees—literally. He has me do things a real secretary would never do.

Emerson Grant tells me I’m more than just good enough.
I’m worthy of his praise.

There are a million reasons why I should stay away. The owner of the Salacious Players’ Club is not just my new boss, he’s twice my age.

And my ex-boyfriend’s father.

With him, I am treasured. I am adored. I am his.

I’m a good girl, but I’m falling for the wrong man.

Emerson Grant knows what he wants—
And he wants me.

So how far will I go to hear his approval?

Review: I did absolutely love this book. However there were a few parts I struggled to get past. Like how it's her ex's dad. I get the appeal in an age gap but that one was a bit much for me. However getting past that was rather easy and the book was fantastic. I loved their relationship after when Emerson finally admitted his feelings. I highly recommend this age gap romance.

Review: New York Ruthless Series by Sadie Kincaid

Author: Sadie Kincaid

Series: New York Ruthless

# of books in series: 5

Stars: 5 

Summary: New York Ruthless. A Reverse Harem MMMF, dark mafia series

Review: I absolutely LOVED this series. I wish I would have thought to write a review for each book but since I didn't I'll just try to do a quick run down. I thought the first four books were definitely 5 stars. That fifth book although good didn't actually need to exist. I figured out who Wolf was on I believe the second book, it's not officially revealed until the fourth book. I really did love this series but I think only 1-4 are required to read. I read the first four in about 2.5 days and it took me about 3 days to read the fifth one. There are also little novella's for more story line but I haven't read those. I'm not a big novella fan. I love a full story. 

Review: Crave by Tracy Wolff

Title: Crave    

Author: Tracy Wolff

Publication date: April 7, 2020

Series: Crave

Stars: 3

Summary: My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods…or monsters. I still can’t decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me.

Then there’s Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn’t felt anything for a hundred years. But there’s something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what’s broken in me.

Which could spell death for us all.

Because Jaxon walled himself off for a reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I’m wondering if I was brought here intentionally—as the bait.

Review: I finally gave in and listened to this book on libby. I really enjoyed listening to it. Until the 7th "AF" and not referring to frogger by it's name. The author made some bold assumptions about what a young person may know and for a person who "grew up" in cali their whole life you would think the MC would at best know what frogger is and know how to say full words instead of speaking in short hand. I'm hoping that the next book doesn't have a million AF statements. If it does I'll probably end it right there.
