Hello all my dear readers! I was hoping for a relaxing summer full of a whole bunch of “lets just stay home and do nothings” but that has not been the case. I tried not to plan lots of things and wanted to take things day by day, and this summer has flown on by without even a backward glance in my direction! I did read quite a few book last month but didn’t make time to actually write a review on here. I will do a June wrap up for you… even tho it is the middle of freaking JULY.
This was a book club pick. I put it off forever but once I got into it I really enjoyed it. If you like psych thrillers then give it a chance. There isn’t very much conversation in this one. It is all about what is going on in HER mind and the in HIS mind. It was a little bit slow and not the best thriller I have ever read but it wasn’t the worst either. A good weekend read.

I absolutely LOVED this book. Nancy Campbell Allen has done it again! The first book ‘Beauty and the Clockwork Beast’ was fantastic as well and so I was super excited to read this one. Somehow she has written a Victorian Era romance that is also a fairy tale retelling that includes shape shifters and to top it all off the steampunk element makes this book unique and so so so good. I know it sounds a little but different but I am telling you it works and you will love it.

I loved both of these Wanda Luce proper romances. If you need a good slow burn romance for this summer I highly recommend her books. Both of these were stories that I couldn’t put down and Wanda Luce gives off a Jane Austen vibe with her writing.

I stumbled across this series looking for something to fill the void after The Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. This did not do it. I feel bad even comparing them because it’s not fair to either of the authors. Maas sets the bar pretty dang high. This series would almost be good for more of a tween/ya if it wasn’t for a few swear words and the sexual innuendoes. .. that is the type of writing I felt this was for. The characters were not very deep and the I felt the story idea was good but it was lacking… yet I read all four books. .. because I have to know how they end. Therefore I saved you the trouble of doing so. Don’t be tempted if these pull up on your kindle recommendations.
I really have liked Erica Ridley’s ‘Rogues to Riches’ series. This is #5 and of course you don’t have to read the first 4 to enjoy the story but if you want a romance series you should read them all. If you like a little sexy and steam to read give it shot. I love the historical romances that get your blood pumping!

This was another book club pick and I really loved it. It is a trilogy. With a 4 book being from the perspective of Suze. There are also a few novella’s as well. They made a movie and it will be in theaters come August 3. Unfortunately, even though I loved the book I haven’t made time for the rest of the series. Hopefully I will be able to fit them in soon tho!

I was so happy to be a part of this tour on Instagram! I loved the book. I mean, who doesn’t love sexy hockey players? This is the first of the Kings of Rittenhouse series and I am absolutely keeping an eye open for the next book to come out. Such a fun contemporary romance with lots of heat and you will not be able to put it down!
