TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Besotted (The Fairest Maidens, #3) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
With this third book in the Fairest Maidens series Jody Hedlund gives us a wonderful retelling of Sleeping Beauty! Jody Hedlund gave me just what I wanted to end the series, a dashing hero, applicable life lessons, and a story that hooked me from the start. I was caught up in the first chapter of Besotted. Kresten is a dreamy hero, I loved he sense of self, and his caring nature. Aurora captivated me Jody Hedlund did a great job laying out her character and giving her that hint of mystery. Together Kresten and Aurora are perfect they play off each other well and truly seem to be each others other half. They have a strong duty to others and the strength of character to do what's in the best interest of others over what's best for you
I would say this is my favorite book in the series but then again, the others were good too :) I give Besotted 5 out of 5 stars.

Merissa (13816 KP) rated How To Train Your Human Omega (Coveted Bonds #1) in Books
Mar 20, 2024
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR HUMAN OMEGA is the first book in the Coveted Bonds series. We start with Clay in space. He's a pilot and is currently helping a group of scientists investigate a wormhole. Arcay is an Aldar - a seven-foot-tall purple alien. As soon as Arcay sees Clay, he knows he is an omega and wants to claim him. He kidnaps Clay and takes him back to the Aldar ship. And then the fun starts...
This was a great read, easy to follow, and with a reenactment of one of my favourite scenes from Beauty and the Beast! The cultural and language misunderstandings are amusing, as well as the inner monologues. There are also some darker topics mentioned, so be warned.
There were some parts left loose, so I'm hoping there will be an ongoing arc throughout the series. A great start to a new series that I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely recommended by me.

Merissa (13816 KP) rated Tarzan (The Reckless Order MC #1) in Books
Feb 26, 2026
TARZAN is the first book in The Reckless Order MC series. It's a short, sharp novella, full of sweetness and hot stuff. It was a quick read, but well worth it.
I haven't read the other series that this is a spin-off from. In fact, this is the first book I have read by her. It won't be the last! I loved not only her style of writing, but the romance in there. Yes, it's fast-paced. It is a novella, after all. But I loved how both 'Cherry' and Tarzan want a forever love, with romance galore, and they were happy with that AND each other. Plus, Keely's look? My favourite kind.
So many others I now want to hear from, but most especially Teddy - the one who doesn't want romance. I can't wait to see him fall.
A great read that starts off a new series with a bang. I just wish it had been a full-length novel, so I could get my fill of these two amazing characters.

Death on the Beach
New York transplant Plum Lockhart is beginning to get some traction for her new villa brokerage agency on the Caribbean Island of Paraiso. However, trouble comes knocking in the form of her former colleague Gerald who insists Plum go help out his boss’s daughter who is being held by the resort’s security. Plum regrets getting involved when Arielle is found murdered the next morning. Now Gerald is insisting that Plum help him solve the crime, and he’s shown up in person. Will Plum solve the case before her patience with Gerald runs out?
I struggled a bit with the first book in the series, but I’m glad I gave the series a second chance. Plum was a much better, more relatable character. Gerald still annoyed me, but the rest of the cast were fun and did a good job of keeping me guessing. The mystery was strong. A couple things seemed a little rushed, but overall it was good and reached a logical solution. Reading this book made me want to hop a plane for a tropical resort. I’ll definitely book time for the final entry in the series.

Merissa (13816 KP) rated Luxuries of Lust (Passing Through Cafe #3) in Books
Mar 3, 2026
LUXURIES OF LUST is the third book in the Passing Through Cafe series. I would say that you don't have to have read the other books, but it wouldn't hurt.
If you have read the previous books, then you will know that Gem is a lot. And Rusty is a little bit... erm... prickly. So how on earth can these two get together? Quite easily, as it happens. I loved reading this story, especially with the soft and mushy parts that Tad abhors. My heart broke for Rusty, and it was glued back together again by Gem's care and devotion. Honestly? Gem grew on me, and I could see how much he meant to Rusty.
Lots of funny moments and rambles, coupled with sexy times. It's good to see the cafe and found family expanding. A great addition to the series and definitely recommended by me. I look forward to continuing with the series.

This is my first time reading a book by Jennifer Pierce and I really enjoyed the way she wove her suspenseful story! I was hooked from the very first chapter by the plight of the main character, I mean imagine being on the run at eight months pregnant! The characters were well done, easy to get to know, and both had good character depth for the length of the story. I thought it was a very well written book with interesting twists and turns that kept my interest easily.
It is the second book in a series, but I read it without reading the first book and wasn’t lost at all, but I am going to go back and read the first book since I liked this one so much.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the great mystery/suspense, for the character's interactions, and for leaving me anticipating the next book!

This book started off well and I really enjoyed it until the 2 characters got together. It was ok at first but then the book got a boring. It seems like it was repeating itself and the book didn't seem to go anywhere after that for quite a few chapters. I stuck with it.
I didn't realise the book was part of a series and I would read the second book but I am a bit worried that the same thing is going to happen in the second book.
The book is not a genre I would normally read but the blurb caught my attention and I am glad I gave it a read.
I found the lives the characters lived interesting.
The story did make me think about things such as deja vu. The things the author wrote did make sense.
The audience I would say if for late teens to late 20's.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

This well written story kept my interest from beginning to end and the characters are all unique and jump right out of the pages. Lisa is my favorite character and little by little she realizes that things are often not as they seem. I look forward to reading the second book in this series!!
