Review //\\ King of the Dark

12th Jul 202019th Feb 2023 ~ Louise H

King of the Dark (The Prince's Assassin #1) by Ariana Nash In the red corner, we have Niko, in the blue corner we have Vasili and in the rainbow corner we have Julian.I have to admit to being as gullible as Niko, believing in the lies, fooled by the smoke and mirrors and devastated by … Continue reading Review //\\ King of the Dark

I'm back with another Six For Sunday, kindly hosted over at A Little But A Lot (please do visit them too). July is Trope month and so far I'm definitely enjoying it! Today's prompt is "Tropes You Hate". Tropes I hate? As I started writing this I was wondering if there are any tropes I … Continue reading #SixForSunday – Tropes You Hate

This Time by Azaaa Davis The interesting and well-paced plot meant that overall this was an enjoyable read and one that left me wanting to jump straight into the next book in the series.I loved how the author built this world for us without it feeling as though we were subject to a large information … Continue reading Review //\\ This Time

I'm finding I really enjoy joining in with this meme so thank you to Billy for hosting it each week.This weeks topic … Continue reading Book Blogger Hop

Review //\\ Hunted

9th Jul 20207th Jan 2023 ~ Louise H ~ 2 Comments

My Rating - 3.5 Stars When we first meet Jared (and Harper) he is a really sweet, fun and caring guy, so his later transformation was really something else. His alter-ego is definitely sinister and poor Harper most certainly comes off worse when he's around. Jared's slow descent into "madness" was very finely crafted, and … Continue reading Review //\\ Hunted

Photo by ViTalko on Pexels.com I've missed so many other milestones on this blog - first birthday, 100 followers, 1000 likes etc. So when I noticed that I had published 699 posts I thought I'd do a little something to mark the occasion of the next one. I actually started out on Blogger, five years … Continue reading Happy 700th Post!!!

Review //\\ Viking Raid

5th Jul 20207th Jan 2023 ~ Louise H

Viking Raid (Replay #1) by Nia Farrell This is a quick, hot read. I would place it more in the erotica genre than erotic romance, as it lacked the development of any credible relationship between Gunner and Brianna. However it was steamy, easy to read and entertaining enough in a bubble-gum and candy-floss way, sweet … Continue reading Review //\\ Viking Raid

Review //\\ His Ranch, His Rules

4th Jul 20207th Jan 2023 ~ Louise H ~ 2 Comments

His Ranch, His Rules by Shanna Handel His Ranch, His Rules is an easy to read, low angst, somewhat steamy read. Georgia is a hot mess at the start of the book, and I liked how brave the author was in writing the heroine this way. We saw growth in her character and, with one exception (which … Continue reading Review //\\ His Ranch, His Rules

Hellbent
it was amazing
Hellbent
by Gregg Andrew Hurwitz
I am so grateful to Tessa Talks Books who put me on to this series. It took me far too long to take up her recommendation because, as a rule, I don't read thrillers. I am making up for lost time and working through this well-written, act...
SOS Hotel: No Rest for the Wicked
it was amazing
SOS Hotel: No Rest for the Wicked
by Adam Vex
Zee pulled back, and bumped his nose with mine. "You smell like dead vampire and burn barrels, but you're so f***king cute. He smelled like home. Like sanctuary. Like freedom. Like Zee. We get to learn a LOT more about Adam in this...
The Nowhere Man
it was amazing
The Nowhere Man
by Gregg Andrew Hurwitz
This was very different to the first book, which I appreciated and gave me hope that the series wouldn't become tired and repetitive. Some of this felt a tad far-fetched, somewhat James Bond-esque in his ability to survive and escape but...
Orphan X
it was amazing
Orphan X
by Gregg Andrew Hurwitz
This was recommended to me by Tessa Talks Books a couple of years ago. Thrillers are not a genre I generally read so unsurprisingly I delayed trying the series. What a mistake that turned out to be, because this story hooked me from the ...
A Billionaire's Promise
it was amazing
A Billionaire's Promise
by Laura Riley
Millie and Gage's story is a captivating enemies-to-lovers romance with two wonderfully written, rounded characters. Gage is suave and sophisticated, if a little arrogant, whilst Millie is very much the girl next door with heart and ambi...
