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.

3.5 stars.
I was really enjoying this up until the 88% mark, after they'd (mainly Sarah) figured out what idiots they had been for the last seven years, and then I kinda lost interest because I was only reading it for their relationship and it sort of went somewhere else.
But for that first 88% I was really enjoying it and the way Will acted around Sarah, both in the past and the present, was really cute and I really liked him. It was love!
On the other hand Sarah was a bit annoying in her inability to believe he loved her after listening to the lies of one jealous girl all those years ago and then pushing him away at every opportunity but she came through in the end.

Another good novella
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is the second novella in the fairytales of myth series and I was as hooked on this one as I was the first it really doesn't seem to go on long enough.The raw pain and anguish Thalliya feels watching her family murdered is horrendous i feel it with her, I also get why she freezes that heartache is certainly one that takes your breath away!The relationship between Ragnar and Thalliya and how it grows and flourishes is very steamy but also needed by both of them. Its sad to know it doesn't last.I enjoyed the fast pace of the tale and that it doesn't hang around there is adventure from the start deffinatly a fantastic read4/5 absolutly cannot wait for the next installment

I liked this. It was nice to take a break from all the YA I've been reading lately and go for something a bit more adult.
From the start it was sexy and fun. Josh came across as being fun and quite down to Earth after the first meeting. Caitlin was quite cool too, she tried to do what was right.
One thing I wasn't so fond of was the sex. It was erotica and that isn't my favourite genre. I preferred the bits between the sex scenes as most of the relationship occurred before the sex took place.
I also feel like the book should have had an epilogue as it seemed rather abrupt how it ended.
If all the authors works are like this then I wouldn't mind reading more of her work.

Hmm
This was so promising for so long but my interest started waning at about the 60% mark. It wasn't as exciting anymore and the sex scenes didn't do anything for me in regards to their relationship.
Logan seemed to be in permanent emotional pain, which annoyed me a bit, since Jin seemed to be coping so much easier with it all and he was the one who was most likely to die if something happened. Now the Logan of about the 90% mark? Now that is a character I would have loved to see throughout the book. He was fun, and seemed to love teasing Jin--which I loved.
I would be interested in continuing the series to see what else these two and the pack get up to.

4.5 stars.
I'm ashamed to say that this is my first N.R. Walker. I need more of her work if they're all like this! (And the fact that in her author info bit she put that she likes it when "they do naughty things together...but she likes it even more when they fall in love.) My type of author!
I loved the setting. I seem to have quite a thing for cowboys! I loved how she went about writing their slow progression into a relationship. I loved how she evolved her characters.
I just need more Charlie and Travis full stop.
My only complaint was the editing. A slight thing, I know, but words were missing and some were added that weren't needed. Other than that I loved it :)

Its been many years since I read the Shifters series and I've forgotten a lot of characters and the stuff that happened. I only really remember Faythe, Marc and Jace and the love triangle thing they had going on--and that I was very much Team Mace.
So for this to be Jace's story I was looking forward to reading his HAE. However, I was a little disappointed with the story. It didn't pull me in and make me desperate to know more about Jace and Abby and their relationship. And the love declarations seemed to come a little out of the blue, whether they'd been lusting after each other for years or not. Oh, I don't know. It just didn't work for me but it did make me cry a little at the end.

Kristina (502 KP) rated The Redemption of Callie & Kayden (The Coincidence, #2) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
Though I'm giving The Redemption of Callie & Kayden 3 stars, I have to confess that it's a weak 3. Honestly, I debated for a long while about whether or not it should actually get a 2.5 rating. I was anxious to read another part of Callie's and Kayden's relationship, to see what awaits them in their lives. For the first half of the book, I was pretty into it, but I felt like things really slowed down around the 60% mark; I began speed reading and only slowing down when it came to the parts I was really looking forward to - which is why I decided to give 3 stars, because though I was slightly bored, I still cared enough to want to find out how everything would end (at least for this book).
