Happy Place by Emily Henry Review


This is a spoiler-free review! You can read my reviews of Book Lovers and Funny Story on my blog, now!

I will admit, going into this book, I had heard rumbling this was not as "good" as Henry's other books. While I have only read two others, I wanted to remain hopeful and go into Harriet and Wyn's story with an open mind, and the premise of this novel did intrigue me. However, it is riddled with miscommunication that made me want to pull my hair out - they are adults in their thirties and cannot be honest with each other, it was maddening! Harriet and Wyn must navigate a weekend with friends while pretending to still be engaged, and honestly, they start to test each other on just how far they will go to keep up the rouse while trying to ignore their feelings. This would have been cute if it was based on college students or even a few years post-grad, but considering they are all late twenties / early thirties, it became painful.

Sabrina's character is overwhelming annoying to the point where every single time that she would basically force her friends to do everything she wanted, I wanted everyone to blow up on her. I understand that she was trying to be nostalgic one last time, but she became someone that everyone just seemed to make snide remarks about and how they did not want to do everything she was forcing them to do. You can see how the other characters entertain her plans, but the enthusiasm dwindles as the story goes on, and characters begin to become resentful. Even Parth seemed to just take everything without a fuss and considering he is her partner, you would like he would be the one person that would have been able to be honest with her.

The tension between Wyn and Harriet is so obvious, yet it was surprising that not a single one of their friends would have noticed this if they really were as close as it was presented. Obviously, friends can grow apart after college and pursuing different careers, but it just felt like they were all entwined in college and grad school, and this would have been something everyone would have noticed. Harriet and Wyn also seemed to have different goals in life and personalities, and while their meet-cute and eventual relationship progression was charming at first, I spent the entire book wondering how they were even together for so long before it all crashed down. I could not connect with any of these characters simply because they did not have any growth or development that warranted me to even become interested in their outcomes.

I found the lack of communication in this book to loom over the entire plot so much so that I could barely enjoy the few good parts of the story. You could see Cleo and Kimmy on edge and how much it started to affect the group, and with Wyn and Harriet's relationship ruse to keep everyone happy and not disrupt the week, I am surprised no one else seemed to catch on after the first day. Considering how much I enjoyed Henry's two other novels, I have to say this was a bit of a let down, and not only because I bought the hardback for $27 like three summers ago when it was published before I read anything of hers - what was I thinking!? 

If they ever made this one into a movie, I may consider revisiting it, but I can without a doubt say that you could not pay me enough money to read this book again. It will now be living on my shelf amongst the other literary fiction and contemporary romances with very bright, neon covers. If you are fine with the miscommunication trope and in the mood for a quick read, then maybe Happy Place can become your next happy place. I can only hope others can get more out of this book than I did.

Wrath of the Dragons (Fear the Flames, #2) by Olivia Rose Darling Review


This is a spoiler-free review! You can read my review of Fear the Flames on my blog, now!

Now that House of the Dragon is back up and running every Sunday, I knew I was in need of a dragon-fix sooner rather than later in between episodes, and luckily enough I had this bad boy sitting on my shelf waiting to be opened. I had such a blast reading the first installment, Fear the Flames, and knew that this follow-up would leave me feeling the same way. 

Elowen and Cayden's relationship has so much thought put into it and the development throughout this book built upon their already pretty solid dynamic. They can be snarky with one another while also taking into consideration the other's feelings, whereas many other couples in different series have a major communication problem. Now, that does not mean they are immune to the occasional argument or defiance against a decided plan, but more often than not, they are doing it to protect the other.

Finnian and Elowen's sibling bond is so precious and I honestly spent the majority of the book worried something horrendous was going to happen to Finnian at any given moment. While he seemed to be on the backburner during this book, readers are still able to see his relationship with Elowen and how strongly their relationship is - they are alwasy looking out for one another and willing to go all the way when it comes to taking risks in order to keep the other safe. Elowen's original group and Cayden's original group combination is still endearing to me - neither group holds back from speaking what is on their mind and proposing different solutions.

The side characters in this installment definitely held more ground compared to when they were first introduced. The stakes are higher and new relationships have been formed - we see these characters take on larger roles while Elowen and Cayden still remain at the forefront. I did enjoy how the author would give us glimpses into the lives of these characters, and while we did only seem to scratch the service when it came to a few of them, it was nice to have a little break from the more intense plot and escape for a bit.

While I understand Elowen was kept away from her dragons for so long, it did feel slightly overdone every time she would go on a little internal monologue about them. We as readers totally understand that she has a bond with them and has missed out on so much due to being apart, but it started to feel repetitive and somewhat diminished how invested I was in their survival. That being said, I did enjoy how the dragons have been given their own personalities and qualities - instead of being five of the same dragons, they are distinguishable amongst one another. However, the incorporation of more magical elements in this book definitely made up for what the dragons were lacking, and with an ending like this, I can only sit on the edge of my seat until the third installment is released.

I read this book in two big sittings and one final one hundred page sprint - you can certainly tackle it fairly quickly if you set aside the time for it. I do wish the dragons had larger roles - not as much as the ones in Fourth Wing seem to have - but they could have been incorporated into the story more beyond just the battle scenes. It would have been nice to see more of Elowen's bond with them as these big moments were led up to. This series definitely gives off a vibe of being a blend of A Game of Thrones and Throne of Glass - and maybe just a touch of Fourth Wing only in regards to the dragons. If you are looking into getting into high fantasy but weary of how intense it may be, this is a great series to push you towards the more complex fantasy worlds.

Fear the Flames (Fear the Flames, #1) by Olivia Rose Darling Review


This is a spoiler-free review!

I have not dived into a high fantasy series in some time and it felt so good finally picking this book up after having it sit on my shelf for a long time. This was so reminiscent of when I first started reading the Throne of Glass series in high school - the female lead, Elowen, reminded me of Celaena - both share a lot of similar personality traits. The author introduces us to Elowen right off the bat and defines her background as a "discarded" princess for being linked to five dragons and the history of how she ended up founding her own kingdom in an effort to eventually take back was what taken from her.

The premise of having an heir that was exiled because she was linked to dragons is certainly new - you would think that a king would be thrilled that his kingdom would someday be ruled by his very powerful daughter - think again! Elowen is straight up locked away the second the link is revealed and she had the worst upbringing imaginable. Her father's lust for power knows no bounds, and this ultimately manifests into her reason to continue fighting. Years later, she is a grown woman seeking to protect the people of her newly created kingdom, and finds herself becoming aligned with Cayden, a dangerous commander. Right off the bat, their banter establishes an excellent and tension-filled relationship - I really enjoyed how witty each of them would be towards one another, and it definitely provided some comedic relief.

Cayden's ruthlessness is unparalleled in this first installment - like any commander we see in a high fantasy novel, he takes what he wants and he is happy to do it by any means necessary. His ability to use this words in threats only adds to his dangerous demeanor and it solidifies him as somehow you would not want to mess with. The combination of Cayden and Elowen's capabilities makes them a pair you do not want to cross. Other the other side of the coin, readers are able to see the sarcastic and secret loverboy side of Cayden as the story progresses. His and Elowen's relationship begins as something that seems forced - they are only working together to complete a common goal - but of course nature takes route and we get to witness the evolution of how they see one another.

Elowen is no meek-minded princess - she is a woman who is willing to lay down her life to get back what is rightfully hers and will do whatever is asked of her to make things happen. She is stubborn and full of life, which makes her a pleasure to read. I love the energy between her and Cayden as they embark on this journey together, especially when the occasion calls for them to be more brutal. Elowen has such great devotion to the people of Aestilian, the kingdom she established, and she embarks on so many dangerous quests in order to ensure they are provided for and remain safe. She truly has her people's best interest at heart, and her devotion is clearly one of her main motivators throughout the story.

Cayden and Elowen's chemistry was juicy, juicy... I absolutely loved everything about them. It was literally addicting reading all of their scenes together and I found myself truly locked into their development. With Cayden being to utterly determined to protect her, it only made me root for them even more. Their more spicier scenes did not take away from the overall tone of the book, and in fact allowed the brutality of some of the fighting to be evened out. I loved the friends and companions in this book - with Cayden and Elowen each having their own established support systems, it made their journey all the more interesting. They both for fighting to ensure the safety of each other and their friends.

The world building could definitely have used some more fine tuning - we are thrown right into the thick of things when the book begins, and I would have loved some more details regarding the magic and the creatures. There were times where it felt as though we would suddenly be introduced to a new, dangerous creature and we as readers were supposed to understand the gravity of the situation without really having the context for it. I did really enjoy how ruthless Cayden and Elowen could be during this book, and the author certainly did not leave things to the imagination when it came to them getting answers from people, by any means necessary. I will definitely be continuing on with this series and look forward to what in in store for them.

Do You Want Me? (This Love Hurts, #0.5) by W. Winters Review


This is a spoiler-free review! Do You Want Me? is currently available for free on Kindle. You can read my reviews of It's Our Secret and A Single Glance on my blog.

Stuff Your Kindle Day strikes again with this final read of 2023 for me -- honestly, I did not even read the description before downloading -- I saw W. Winters and immediately hit download. As a prequel novella to a series, I was hoping to learn a little background on our main characters before deciding to continue on with the series. For the other books I have read by this author, I have been a one and done reader, with the possibility of returning to the series once I tackle more of my physical TBR pile.

Delilah has a lot of stressors in her life, not to mention the man she parted ways with finally coming back into her life years later. This novella takes us two years prior to the prologue, exploring Delilah's complicated life, along with perspectives from Cody, a detective, and Marcus, the man that just will not stop from making Delilah his own, but only in the future books.

We spend most of the time in Delilah's perspective, with the occasional appearance by Cody and just a dash of Marcus to add to the mix. I wish we spent more time with Marcus in his perspective -- he is so important to the story, yet we barely had two chapters of his thoughts, most of which focused on Cody rather than Delilah. Winters does provide readers with a decent amount of background information considering this is a prequel novella, but I do believe it could have been fifty pages longer, just to really seal the deal with how Delilah and Marcus are connected.

If the author included just a touch more bit of action or suspense in the prequel, it would have really engaged readers to keep moving forward. I took a few breaks while reading this short installment, only because I was not itching to finish it in one sitting, and the way that the plot was moving, I could tell there was not going to be a wild third act or final chapter. Looking back at how the novella started with the prologue, I would have loved to circle back to that moment at the end of the story.

The multiple perspectives did give the story a more well-rounded sense, especially when readers are able to get a wisp of how Delilah, Cody, and Marcus are connected. It was refreshing to see a main character that has some semblance of self preservation and a decent amount of common sense. Delilah is definitely one of the more structured adult female characters that I have encountered when reading romantic suspense novels.

I would not go far enough to say that this was suspenseful, or even wavering on the edge of dark romance, but that just may be due to the fact that the story is just getting started. Winters alludes to Delilah having some big secret or terrible past a number of times in the novella, but never goes further than having it as a lingering thought from Delilah -- I wish we could have gotten just a crumb of what happened. I am interested enough in this story to continue on, but I would not consider it one of my top priorities.

Escort by Skye Warren Review


This is a spoiler-free review!

My enjoyment of browsing the free book section on iBooks will continue to make me put off my own TBR pile for a new read at least once a month, and Escort is no exception. Told from Hugo's point of view, we see the perspective of a male escort as he comes in contact with Bea, a young woman who is not the typical clientele to hire an escort.

If you watched Toy Boy or Diary of a Giglio on Netflix, this quick standalone will be right up your alley. This book would make such a fun Passionflix adaptation, especially since it is few and far between that we get to see the male escort perspective in romance novels. I am not a super big fan of first-person perspective, but I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed reading Hugo's story. The way he views himself and the way he slowly allows Bea to become a presence in his life was well-incorporated throughout the book.

Bea is a shy twenty-something that lives alone in a very large penthouse when she hires Hugo for the night -- she is not the typical penthouse resident, with a quiet personality and well-lived in furniture, Hugo is immediately intrigued. Warren does a pretty decent job of giving us a look inside Hugo's thoughts as he begins to meet with Bea over time, especially when it comes to linking his present job to his childhood past. While we are only given Hugo's point of view, the author was able to capture a lot of Bea's emotions through Hugo's eyes.

Hugo's past was interesting to get into and certainly moved the story forward regarding why he does what he does, but it came to the point where I no longer wanted to read about his past, and wanted the story to move on with him and Bea. Their mutual connection provided somewhat of a plot point to the story and a wedge in their relationship, but it was resolved so quickly I thought I imagined it myself.

Both of the leads are gentle in their own ways, and even though they are very much opposites of each other, they compliment one another very well, and it was a couple that I was rooting for from the beginning. I enjoyed how their dynamic slowly began to form and emerge the longer they knew each other, and their characters each had their own development that was not just for their partner, but for themselves.

There were a few things here and there that could have been left out of the book to make more room for Bea and Hugo's growing relationship, but overall the story pieced together nicely. I do wish it was a touch longer, especially as a standalone, because I felt like I was left hanging at the end. A few more chapters would have done their story well, especially because we only saw some glances of Bea and Hugo's relationship. I would have loved to see more of Hugo's friends to be quite honest -- they seemed interesting enough that I would read books about them if this was an interconnected standalone series, but alas it is not.

I would not go as far to say that this qualifies as erotica -- it is pretty tame spice compared to other romance books, and has just enough scenes to make it interesting but not push it over the edge. This was a fun and quick read, but I expected a little more from the story than what was given. If you are looking for a somewhat spicy fluff romance, then this is definitely the read for you.

See Me (Phoenix, #4) by Stacey Kennedy Review


This is a spoiler-free review! You can read my reviews for the first three books in the series on my blog now: Watch Me, Keep Me, and Save Me. A list of content warnings can be found in the beginning of the book.

Lottie is much more than meets the eye, and with a secret past and life tucked away from her friends, she is not one to open up -- to Hunt, or to the cops. Which poses a problem, since Hunt is a cop and he notices right away that is haunting her. Hunt can tell that there is something beneath the surface, waiting to come out and show who Lottie truly is, but there may be more consequences than either could have imagined.

See Me is definitely more of a suspense book compared to the others in the series -- Lottie is hiding from dangerous people, and after years of silence she begins to hear from them again, With Hunt wanting nothing more than to protect her and make sure that she is safe, we learn more about Lottie and her past.

Right off the bat, Lottie and Hunt have this tension that quite literally fills the room whenever they are together or even near each other. They have their flirtatious little back-and-forths, which just scream will-they-or-won't-they. Hunt is on a mission to go further with Lottie than they have ever gone before, and Lottie wants the same, but with her complicated past and secrets, she does not want to even chance the idea that he might get hurt because of her.

Seeing all of the girls from the previous books was great -- I love how they always show up and are there for each other, especially because Lottie was somewhat of a minor character in the beginning of the series, whereas Elise and Hazel were already Zoey's friends from the start. Lottie having a great support system, especially with what she has gone through, really allowed her to create her own family when she had no one except Nessa.

I was upset with Archer and the way that he was originally treating Lottie after he found out her secrets -- when Zoey was able to get past Phoenix's vetting process, Rhys was impressed and told people not to worry about it. But when Lottie was able to do the exact same thing, Archer showed a lot more anger and held onto it longer than expected, especially considering that everyone had known Lottie for years and when they only knew Zoey after she showed up at Phoenix.

The smut throughout the book was great -- the final scene between Lottie and Hunt was *chef's kiss* and really showed how much they had grown together as individuals and as a couple. We only had a few scenes in Phoenix, but definitely were treated to our fair share of scenes outside of the club. I do wish the book was just a little longer, but I really did enjoy reading their story.

I loved the change of pace that See Me brought to the series -- as a fan of all of the books, it was really great to read something that had more suspense to it. There definitely was not as much drama or conflict compared to what you would find in a mafia romance, but this had the perfect amount of suspense, smut, and character development. I am so excited for the next installment in the series -- focusing on Nessa and Ronan -- to be released later this year!

Dirty Little Secret (Forbidden Desires, #1) by Kendall Ryan Review


Dirty Little Tease is available for free as a preview novella for Dirty Little Secret -- you do not need to read the novella in order to start the series, as it is an introduction/preview to the first 100 pages of Dirty Little Secret, accompanied by some exclusive content from the author. You can read my review of Dirty Little Tease on my blog, here.

This is a spoiler-free review!

If you have read Dirty Little Tease, you are able to jump right into this book just before the halfway mark. The premise of Emma working as an escort for Gavin and Cooper's company was something that I had not come across recently, and was excited to see how it played out. The smut was pretty good and had decent build up where it did not feel as if the scene was just randomly through into the book.

I know that we were supposed to be rooting for Gavin and Emma to be together, but I was really enjoying all of the moments and conversations that Cooper and Emma were having. Gavin just seems so hot and cold with her, and Emma is constantly forgiving him almost immediately after they fight or she finds out that he does not want a relationship. He is also super jealous whenever Cooper and Emma hang out, but seems to be only externally denying that he wants to date her, because his thoughts are definitely saying that he wants her to himself.

There is a ton of drama that happens in this book that I felt hindered the development of Gavin and Emma's potential relationship expanding beyond her being Gavin and Cooper's personal escort. After every few chapters, something new would come up that would cause Emma to be upset with Gavin or be upset with something else in her life, and would always result with her calling Cooper and then Gavin being jealous that she did not reach out to him instead. This scenario was almost always followed by Gavin and Emma having sex -- it felt like I was reading a constant loop of the same thing happening over and over again.

More time could have also been devoted to going more in depth about Emma's past relationship. We know as readers that it was abusive because she explicitly states so, but then when it is actually brought up because it plays a role in the story, it felt glossed over. In Emma's POV we learn more about how much abuse she endured and how she was in the hospital because of it, but then we never hear about it again.

This book felt like Fifty Shades of Grey had a love triangle between Anna, Christian, and his brother -- Emma is inexperienced when it comes to submission, and Gavin is a CEO who has been involved in it for years, as he and his brothers run a high-end escort service. There are the expected "I don't do relationships" scene, "I don't spend the night with anyone" scene, and a helicopter scene, just to name a few similarities. It felt as though I was re-reading Fifty Shades of Grey instead of reading a new book, but I am a sucker for those tropes so I was just happy to be along for the ride.

The cliffhanger definitely has me wanting to read the next book in the series. To the best of my understanding, the next book is still Gavin's focus, but then the books transition to Cooper and Quinn. The first 200 pages of this book definitely had me flipping the pages so fast, but then I felt as though the story slowed down until the very last couple chapters, with a new drama plot thrown in to spearhead the next book.

Dirty Little Tease (Forbidden Desires, #0.5) by Kendall Ryan Review


This is a spoiler-free review! Dirty Little Tease is available for free on Kindle as a preview novella for Dirty Little Secret -- you do not need to read the novella in order to start the series, as it is an introduction/preview to the book. 

Gavin is an arrogant CEO of an escort service that he runs with his brothers, Cooper and Quinn, and Emma is the head librarian who recently came out of an abusive relationship. They catch each other's eye every morning in a coffee shop, and as expected, Emma and Gavin's interactions soon grow more than ordering espresso and tea.

I liked how the author included Cooper's POV in the preview -- I hope his POV continues to be seen in the complete first book. You do not often see side characters getting their own perspective chapters in romance books, and I was pleasantly surprised when we got to read his own thoughts on Gavin and Emma. 

With POVs from Gavin, Emma, and Cooper, the reader gets to have a more extensive view on how they all are adjusting to having each other in their lives, while also getting to see an outside perspective watching Gavin and Emma finally interact after not speaking a word to each other for a year, only giving each other quick glances.

Both Gavin and Emma have complicated pasts, and since this is only a preview of Dirty Little Secret, we only get a small glimpse of what they have gone through and experienced. I think the author did a decent job of including hints of their traumas throughout the chapters, and started to show how they both respond to their pasts influences their actions.

The smut is minimal yet present -- just barely there at the end of the preview, which makes you want to open up Dirty Little Secret immediately to see how everything plays out. It is an excellent way to see if you want to continue with the series and introduces you to the characters and their personalities before you dive right into the first book. For fans of Praise by Sara Cate and Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James, this novella will certainly grab your attention.

See Jane Snap by Bethany Crandell Review


This review contains spoilers for See Jane Snap. Please read with caution if you have not completed the novel.

To the watching eye, Jane Osborne is living the perfect life with the perfect husband -- under the surface, she has discovered that her surgeon husband of eighteen years has been cheating on her the entire time, and with a man. Jane is trying to hold it together through self-help mantras and audios in the car, but everything must come to an end as she meets her breaking point in a most unexpected place: the grocery store parking lot. 

Under the impression that she has taken one of her friend's Zoloft pills, she becomes increasingly agitated by a woman who has too many items in the 15-or-less line and leaves her grocery cart in the middle of the parking lot. Jane, who simply cannot take anything else, snaps and starts to hurl oranges at this woman's car and causes quite the disturbance, especially when it is revealed that she did not take Zoloft, but ecstasy. Resulting in her arrest but no charges, Jane agrees to take a first time offender class to make sure this event stays from away from her permanent record.

You can't help but feel for Jane -- she has discovered the life that she has been living for nearly two decades is nothing but a charade for her husband, Dan. She does everything she can so that Dan's cardiology department stays afloat at the hospital, and appeases the donors he desperately needs to impress for a $25 million naming rights donation. 

Dan is probably one of the worst fictional husbands I have ever read about, nearly up there with Nick Dunne from Gone Girl. He is constantly angry at Jane for anything she does that is out of place -- she follows his car and finds him with another man and also misses a conference call regarding the fundraiser where his potential donors will be. Dan is basically absent from Jane and their daughter, Avery, lives and acts shocked when there could be a possibly of Jane spilling his secret. He continues to be an absolute jerk throughout the entire book until the very end, where he somewhat redeems himself at the fundraiser gala.

The group of women that Jane meets and forms friendships with at her required course are the first people that she is able to open up to, and it leads to her journey of healing and no longer settling for a life that is not what she expected. She quickly forms close bonds with them, despite initially wanting to only go to and from the course in order to get it over with, and avoid talking to any of the women outside of the course.

Jane's "snap" was short-lived, and in my opinion, not very "public" as the synopsis described. I was expecting a lot more feminine rage coming from her, but the plot felt as though it was mostly Jane jumping from one moment in time to the next, leaving a lot of unanswered questions in her journey. Her inner monologue definitely gives some good insight on her emotions and thought processes as she comes to terms with what she did in that parking lot and what she knows about her husband. Jane's relationship with her younger sister Julie does have some hardships, but they try to make the best of it as they work together to care for their ailing mother.

I was so incredibly glad when Jane yelled at Dan towards the end of the book -- she has been living, for the past two months, with a constant loop of what she knows and has seen Dan cheating on her, and for him to call her out with Officer Chavez and say that he was "never caught" with the men he was seeing but she cannot see Chavez is an insane double standard. She was in the right with asking him to move to that other portion of the house and have him talk to their daughter, especially because Avery knew he was cheating on Jane, she just did not know who he was doing it with.

I'm glad that in the end Jane is doing well for herself and on the road to healing, I just wish we were able to see more of her snap or even see it go in a different direction, rather than it just be her and that woman in the parking lot. This premise had a lot of potential and it personally felt as though it fell a little flat -- you can tell the author wanted to be funny in some parts and more serious in others, but the comedy fell short in the long run. It is fast-paced and an easy read, and I am happy to finally have read it, since it has been on my shelf for so long.
