So I'm currently reading my backlog of books--the ones that have been on my kindle since late 2012/early 2013.

And I have to say why did I not read this sooner?! I loved it.

4.5 stars, instead of 5 simply because of all the giggling. I think even Blake giggled at one bit, which made me laugh but seemed rather surreal.

The story itself, though... God, I'm a sucker for a good romance and this was so heartfelt. He'd loved her forever and she ended up with someone else, so for them to get a second chance... *sigh* I was having a good swoon over this one.

I'm not always a fan of children in my romance books but how could I not love these three? They were adorable! I couldn't stop smiling/laughing throughout at some of the stuff that came out of the kids mouths and just in general.

This was definitely something I enjoyed and I look forward to reading more books by the author.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Blood Charged (Dragon Blood, #3) in Books

So this has taken me a long time to finish, especially considering that this is a Lindsay Buroker book and that I'm a huge fan.

I think I know why though.

I read for the romance element of books and in this we'd already met the characters and they were already couples, so that aspect was already in place and I didn't get to read it happening because it already had.

Lindsay is really good at writing steam-punk books (check out her Emperor's Edge series!) while still adding a romantic side-plot. With this newer series it has previously focused on the romance more but like I mentioned this was slightly lacking in that respect.

The adventure they went on for me wasn't as engaging as some of her other books, which is why it's taken me forever to finish this and I'm not too sure if I want to continue the series if it's following Ridge, Sardelle, Tomolek, Ahn and the rest of the team on the hunt for Dragon blood.

4.5 stars

I'm a bit picky with my historical reads. But since this would be my first full length mm historical romance, I thought I'd give it a go. And it turned into something I really enjoyed. It was paranormal and action packed and romantic. I couldn't ask for more, really.
 
I really liked both Griffin and Whyborne. Griffin was the sort of bad boy of the Victorian era I would never have guessed existed and Whyborne was the smart, bookish type that liked to be invisible to everyone around him. Except that wasn't possible with Griffin. He noticed him and accepted him and it was kinda sweet.
 
The storyline was very engaging and I was continually cheering my two guys on to figure it out and to get that person or other. And at the end I almost cried. I cant go into details without spoiling it but this is not some boring, average historical fiction based mm romance. It's very good.
