David (771 KP) rated Bonded in Blood in Books
Sep 6, 2018
I haven't read many books with a prologue, this one had one and set the book up nicely that it wasn't going to shy away from the gruesome, being a vampire story you would expect nothing less.
The main characters Taz (no relation to Warner Bros one that ate everything) and Morgana (Morgan) I liked pretty much straight away for their love/hate relationship in and out of the bedroom (Some steamy scenes, be warned). Taz, arrogant, egotistical and generally full of himself, then you have Morgan, she reminded me of Selene from Underworld films in that she took no nonsense and was her own woman. They are forced to work together to solve the gruesome murders that threaten to uncover the centuries hidden vampire world that Kayla (human) thinks she is very close to uncovering.
A book that you can't put down, full of excitement, sex and vampiric action. I would highly recommend it and can't wait to read the next book.
Merissa (13555 KP) rated Jaz's Warriors (Bondmates, #2) in Books
Dec 17, 2018
The story starts with the invasion of Earth, and then jumps forward to when Jaz is already a Matriarch, mated to two and meeting a potential third. Things are done very differently in this world, and some human females are having trouble adapting. Jaz's counselling experience is able to help her and others to cope with a way of living and loving.
Because I haven't read the first book, I'm not sure if Jaz is mentioned in that, or how she met husbands one and two. This isn't a negative, it's just that this is one fast-paced story so I would like to know more about these characters, just to understand all aspects of the story.
If you are after a short and steamy sci-fi romance with multi partners, then I can definitely recommend this one.
* I received this book from Barclay Publicity in return for a fair and honest review. *

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Summer Nights (Wildflowers, #1) in Books
Jan 7, 2021
This is my first book by the author and it was a light romance with an interesting new idea for a plot about opening a summer camp for adults. It also has a longer story arc of what's happened to Dylan's dad that I'm assuming will be continued in the rest of the Wildflowers series.
Unfortunately, I struggled with the book. I like quite a bit of angst in my romances. I like fights and steamy make up sex. I like tattooed bad boys who get up to mischief while falling for the virgin new girl.
This was far too tame for me personally.
I loved the idea of the summer camp with the cabins and the activities but I don't think there was enough details about a lot of the going ons.
The characters didn't really grab me either. I didn't find myself willing them to get together. I was actually a little indifferent to them all.
This was not my kind of story, unfortunately.
