Jamie (57 KP) rated The Cowboy's Homecoming (The Cowboy Series, #8) in Books
Nov 28, 2018
I am not a big romance novel reader, especially Harlequin Romance, but this story was good. The inspiration series was not that bad. I liked the story a lot. Seemed more real, seemed like the guy was respectful of woman and treated them with respect and kindness instead of dragging them off to who knows where and take advantage of them.

I received a copy of Crown of Coral and Pearl from Harlequin TEEN (US Canada) through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
In this book beauty is a curse that will get you sent away to marry a stranger.
Nor has been scarred and is out of the beauty running but must take her place.
Wow, the villain in this one is a creeper!

I received a copy of Soul of the Sword from Harlequin TEEN (US Canada) through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book was superb. It has everything! Ghosts, demons, and forbidden romance.
I really enjoyed the mythology and the characters.
It's the second book in the series but I had no problem following what was going on.
I am Really looking forward to the third book!

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Dear Haiti, Love Alaine in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of Dear Haiti, Love Alaine from Harlequin TEEN (US Canada) through Netgalley.
I seriously love Alaine. I'd love to read more about her.
The story is told through school reports, news, articles and text messages and is a bit jarring at first but the storytelling makes up for it.
It's got family secrets and a curse and a witty protagonist that made me want to cheer.

Rachel King (13 KP) rated A Cold Creek Secret (Cowboys of Cold Creek, #7) in Books
Feb 11, 2019
I received this book as a free gift from Harlequin, but I liked the cover, so it did not take me long to get around to reading it. Normally, I find Harlequin romances formulaic in format and rather predictable. This book was a bit better than most, maybe because this is the second book that I have read by RaeAnne Thayne.
I found the situation that put a Hollywood socialite at the mercy of a random cowboy / army major to be a little unbelievable, but once the plot moved past the initial stages, I liked the chemistry between Mimi Van Hoyt and Brant Western. The two characters were in many ways complete opposites, but they still complemented each other. It was hugely ironic that Mimi became homemaker to Brant's place -- nesting syndrome was kicking in early. I also did not expect the period of separation, though it fit with Brant's military duties.
This book was a sweet, quick read that made me smile.

Micky Barnard (542 KP) rated Catwoman: Soulstealer - DC Icons Book 3 in Books
Oct 15, 2018
Unexpectedly good
I listened on audio and there was great narration from Julia Whelan.
This was a unique story line told from the supposed evil protagonist point of view with an alternative Batwing POV. Selena was interesting in her evil and heartfelt personas and I enjoyed being drawn into this world. The characters of Batwing, Poison Ivy and Harlequin were all intriguing and enjoyable.
Highly recommend and you don't need prior knowledge of the other books or Catwoman.

I received a copy of The Evil Queen from Harlequin TEEN (US Canada) through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I wanted to like this one more than I actually did.
The righting is great and a lot of it is really evocative but the character of Every came off as about 12 or so. Her reactions didn't strike me as realistic for a high schooler at all.
The dialogue is a bit cheesy at points but I'm not gonna complain to much because what's a fairy tale without some cheese?
I did enjoy the story but the sensual parts did come off a bit awkward to me on account of the MC seeming so young.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Storm and Fury (The Harbinger, #1) in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of Storm and Fury from Netgalley and Harlequin Teen in exchange for an honest review.
Sexy shapeshifting gargoyle boys! Count me in!
I was initially confused because this one jumps right into the story. Turns out it's a spin-off, so that explains a lot.
It started of a little slow but once the action starts it doesn't really let up.
I really liked Trinity. She could have easily been an obnoxious Chosen One type but the book managed to avoid that.
Also Trinity is disabled which I appreciate so much as a disabled woman. Every bit of representation matters and I love the matter of fact way a degenerative disease is s dealt with.
