"I spend quite a bit of time in England and I've gor quite a few English mates so passed me on to Loyle Carner. I just love it. The last verse really caught me-it sounds very deep and sad and beautiful, all at the same time. He's got an amazing voice and it's an awesome combination with Jorja Smith."

Patience by Guns N' Roses

Track

"Brilliant melody. Lovely, swishy swashy song. Again, the lyrics are a bit cheesy, and sometimes you get the impression with Axl Rose that there's a really American 80s high school drama thing going on. All my mates were sucked into those Molly Ringwald films. We were all brought up on them, and some of the lyrics remind me of that. It's a really good tune."

Turned out good in the end

The beginning was a bit too boring for my liking. It took too long for the good stuff to start...but when it did, it turned into a decent story and I pretty much devoured it.

I think there's some link between Nikolas and our girl, say mates or something? And I'm intrigued enough to want to read book 2 in the series.

So many possible love interests... Is there still a chance Jayne could ultimately fall in love with Tony? Suddenly I'm interested in whether or not Chase being her daemon has something to do with being "mates" or not. Will anything blossom between Jayne and Spike? But, wait a second, what if this elemental guy, Ben, is another potential bae, even if he fights for the dark side?! Ooh, so many choices!

Quick, addictive and loads of fun
I love Skull. It's a pretty easy game to get your head around and once everyone understands the rules it's very fast paced and a lot of fun! You can play this game again and again and it manages to stay entertaining, the perfect game to bring down to the pub with a few mates.

Luke and Lorelai. (0 more)
This season makes me really dislike Emily Gilmore, Christopher Hayden and unfortunately, Rory Gilmore. (0 more)
You got Huntzbergered.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Emily and Richard's hatred for the Luke/Lorelai relationship is overdone, the interference is ridiculous.
Lane and Zach is farfetched, poor Brian must feel very self conscious that Lane hadn't fallen for him too, she just dates band mates!
Stealing a Yacht... 5 seasons building up academically inclined, sensible Rory to essentially a different character completely.

To Touch You (Mates #4) by Cardeno C.
To Touch You is the fourth book in the Mates series, and this time it is Yoram and Salvatore's story. Now, this one is a bit different because Yoram first meets Salvatore when he is only 7-years-old. He makes his claim clear to Ethan and Miguel, although he only sees Salvatore as his friend. The years pass and Yoram and Salvatore don't really have many interactions, apart from Salvatore pushing Yoram away. Salvatore is turned by Miguel, but doesn't have much to do with the vampires in Vegas where he lives, so he is mostly clueless when it comes to vampires and shifters - especially true mates.

Yoram has more responsibilities piled onto him than he bargained for, and this means that he is unable to help Salvatore like he has been. Salvatore make the trip to find out what is wrong, and through various interactions with Yoram's family, learns just what exactly Yoram has done for him, and what being a true mate means.

This was a brilliant story. Salvatore is not a very nice character to start with, but you are with him as he realises the error of his ways, and finds out what he has to do to make it right. Yoram is a (HOT) sweetie, and tries to do the right thing no matter what. There is a bit of an overlay between the Yoram/Salvatore story, and that of Samuel and Korban. You don't need to have read the Samuel/Korban story to understand this one, but you will be missing out on a great book if you don't!

There were no editing or grammatical errors that I noticed to disrupt my reading flow. I found the book to be exceptionally written, with plenty of character development, especially for Salvatore. I loved how their story was spread out over so many years, and loved seeing them both change. A fantastic addition to the Mates series, and highly recommended by me.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and my comments here are my honest opinion. *

I received this book by signing up for Celia Kyle's newsletter on her website.

Don't you just love it when you hit upon a book that is as hot as hell but will also make you laugh? I know I do and that's what I got with Scarlet. She has reached the incredibly OLD age of 30 and hasn't yet found her mates. Due to her having the Mark, she is now having to attend a Gathering in which she will try to find them.

I love the descriptions of the Wickham triplets and find it hilarious when Scarlet's mouth runs away with her. She may have two mates but she is not prepared to just let them walk all over her.

The descriptions of Scarlet's Alphas was also very well-done as they did indeed seem to balance each other out. Madden made me smile more than once with his quips.

A novella but jam-packed full of action and hotness. Can't wait to read Gabriella, book 2 in this series.

Wicked Kingdom ( Crown of Blood and Frost book 3)
By C.Y. Jones
⭐️⭐️⭐️

I never wanted the crown, the Throne, Elyeria... I never wanted any part of it. That’s my father’s world, not mine. Or so I thought.The false Queen needs to be stopped. She’s has gone too far this time. When you mess with any of my mates, you mess with me. Turning against one of my mates, I’ll do anything to protect him.Secrets are uncovered and bad guys become allies. There’s no such thing as rules in the war of the heart.I’m Winter DelaCort, Princess, Queen. No matter what you call me, I’m the true ruler of this Wicked Kingdom.

I didn’t end this one as much as I’ve enjoyed the others it lacked something. I thought a few bits were just eye rolling annoying. I found scenes with Kaiden a little uncomfortable too. Some of the language and words used I thought were just thrown in for a reaction. It was a bit meh.

Ryan Reynolds and Samuel l Jackson give this film a great source of entertainment the chemistry between them is brilliant proper love hate relationship wise cracks and abuse to each other makes some entertaining scenes . While the overall story is not new and has been done before by others. It's worth watching both actors play off each other and the film flows generally well at a good pace. Well worth watching on a Friday night with a few mates and beer .
