AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Pucked Over (Pucked, #3) in Books
Jan 14, 2020
Hot!
The book in the series following the delectably naughty NHL team follows the dark and mysterious Randy (yes that’s right, his name is Randy, Randy Balls) and Lily the figure skater who didn’t quite hit if off when they met in #2.
Join them as they “just” have fun which becomes more...
I am not sure why I liked this one more than the last, but feel that perhaps the characters in this one are more relatable, and it’s massively heavy with intense energy! You can almost feel the longing between these two characters in the way its worded and their actions throughout! By the end I was almost ready to beg Randy (and Helena if it hadn’t of happened) for a happy ending between the two!

Sophia (Bookwyrming Thoughts) (530 KP) rated Geekerella (Once Upon a Con #1) in Books

Geekerella is such an adorable and cute read featuring everything fandom related. It’s a retelling of Cinderella with a happily ever after and set at a convention, which really makes the inner fangirl in me sigh happily. The first novel in Ashley Posten’s Once Upon a Con series is a quick and light read for those who enjoy cute romances with fandom.
Side note: my local library removed this from the Hoopla catalog when I tried renewing it back in June and I may or may not have cried a little inside. I had to put this on my TBR again and start it over, rude much??? I still appreciate all they’ve done, though. (Other than the fact I more than likely lost my soul during my childhood within the shelves.)

AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Taming the Lone Wolff in Books
Feb 20, 2021
This is sixth in a series but can be read as a standalone. This is the story of Security Firm Owner Larkin and Winnie, abuse survivor, a woman of wealth, and owner of a secret home for abused women.
Winnie employs Larkin to protect her and her women's' home following an article listing Winnie Bellamy as one of the wealthiest women in America. Larkin ups the security at her home, before whisking her away to his family compound on Wolff Mountain to keep her safe.
They both try there hardest to ignore the mutual attraction and try their hardest to maintain their professional relationship, but they find it difficult to keep their hands to themselves.
The characters are likeable and the story is enjoyable, if not a little predictable and cheesy.

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Super Troopers 2 (2018) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
Yet another movie in a series to go and see, in this case though I didn't bother with the first one. If I'm honest it never really appealed to me. I like comedy, but this sort of humour feels like it grates at times. And partly it did.
I did laugh, and it did pass the time reasonable well, but it's not a great film. It's getting the third star for the montage in the middle where the troopers disguise themselves as Mounties and start pulling people over. I know, of all the things I could have found amusing I really don't know why it was that.
Some great support actors around and I was kind of surprised to see them in it. But worth a watch if you like that sort of thing.

I’m developing a serious TJ Klune addiction, and I’m ok with that.
This Bennett pack, though! They’re not just putting themselves through the emotional wringer - what about me?!
I loved reading Gordo’s story - his trauma, sadness, abandonment issues - and how he’s found again.
All of these books have been a joy so far (and I’ve already read the next in the series). What I particularly like, is how I’m drawn in to this book, and how I become so invested in their lives. Look, I know it’s a story about a werewolf pack, but at no point does it seem to be “just” a werewolf book. There are so many parallels that can be drawn to real people’s lives (especially that of found family). And that’s why I love them.
And werewolves. Of course.

Who ya gonna call? The Spengler family.
Sequel to 2021s 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife', which moves the action away from the small town setting of the latter and back to the New York City of the original 1980s films.
(As an aside, I'm not sure whether to count this as #5 or #4 in the series, what with the atrocious Paul Feig 2016 version!)
(Aside to my aside: and what about the 2008 videogame?).
Anyway, this follows pretty much the same core cast as in Afterlife, although - personally - I found James Acaster to be rather an off-putting presence, as they struggle to find their fight and face down a new supernatural foe.
Lacks the magic of the original, I felt, maybe on par with Afterlife bit no better or worse.

wonderful instalment!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, but I also purchased my copy of this book.
This is book 4 in the Brodyr Alarch series, and while not necessary, I do recomend that you read the other three boosk before this, or at LEAST, Sealed with A Curse, which is the prequel to this series. That will give you why these men were cursed, and what they did to be free of it. Harri mentions it a time or two in his musings. I loved them all.
Harri is preparing to be crowned the king of Melthkior, a middle brother in the Brodyr Alarch. His older brothers have no wish to be king, and Harri was always going to be crowned. Adding the Druids to the ceremony, and wanting to build a healing centre with their knowledge, was all Harri's idea. Ffion is the daughter of the head of the Druids. The two meeting start a cascade of events that leads to some dark times for them both. Will their choices, when the time comes, prove them worthy?
I've said this before and I will say it again, I am LOVING that these books are clean. Harri and Ffion take time to get to know each other, it's well over halfway through the book that they kiss, and I loved being made to wait. They both have a powerful reaction to the other, but it's kept low key. They know about it, but they don't voice it, not until things begin to go wrong.
I loved that Harri and Ffion both have to face their demons. I love that the tests are intriguing. I wasn't sure how they would go down. I loved that, while confident on the outside, both Harri and Ffion had doubts. Not about their love, that is clear, but about who they are inside and if they are good enough for each other and the roles they have been dealt.
This one is based around the Sleeping Beauty type tale. Harri and Ffion work hard to remove all chance of the curse being activated, but it takes a tiny slip of the foot to set it in motion and there is nothing harri can do then, but battle himself, almost.
I really REALLY enjoyed this instalment and I can't wait for the next one. I'm left feeling 4 stars, though, rather than 5 and I can only assume that it's a "me, not you" thing.
4 very VERY good stars
*same worded review will appear elsewhere
