Rating: 3⭐️ – Thank you Macmillan Audio and Bramble Romance for this audiobook ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Overall this was a good start to a series. I liked the unique take on the Roman Empire and Julius Caesar. I also enjoyed the fact that there was dragon shifters. I don't think I ever read that in a fantasy. I know for some people the misogynistic world and the slave x master trope isn't for them, but I didn't mind it at all. I felt it was appropriate for the setting of the story. Although there were aspects to the story I enjoyed, I felt there was a lack of depth in many areas. However, it did keep me interested enough to continue on with the series. I would recommend this to my viewers, but I'd definitely make them aware of the setting of this world.

P.S. I wanted to mention that both narrators did an amazing job with this.

I'll share more of my thoughts in my monthly wrap up video on my YouTube channel, Ginnie Reads.

This was a fun quick read. I went into this book blindly. The only things I knew was that it was a dark romance, taboo, and has a age gap romance. This was my first book by this author and it won't be my last.

I liked the flow of everything. Some things happened that were unexpected and totally left me wondering if I missed something. I guess that was the author's way of throwing a curveball to wrap everything thing up.

I liked the chemistry between Dove and Reid, but I also felt it was lacking a bit. I wanted to have swoony moments, but really didn't. I also felt that the tension between them wasn't really there. I wanted more, especially because of the circumstances.

Overall, I still found this entertaining and quick. I would definitely recommend this book to my besties. Also I would love to get a book on Jonas! *hint, hint*

Crossroads by Devney Perry is now live!

A sweeping small-town romance about love, loss, and a Montana legacy from USA Today bestselling author Devney Perry.

I met West Haven when I was eight years old. He taught me to play poker when I was nine, and we made paper airplanes together when I was eleven. He kissed me when I was sixteen. He was the best part about my family's summer vacations to Montana. He was the boy who stole my heart. I was twenty-three when life ripped us apart.

Years later, I'm breaking my vow and returning to the ranch, not as a guest but its new owner. West might want me gone, but even he has to admit the only way to save his family's legacy is with my help.

It's not easy working side by side and facing those old memories. But this situation is only temporary. We're at a crossroads. And as long as I don't let myself fall in love with West Haven again, maybe this is our chance to put those ghosts to rest. Maybe this time we'll finally be able to say goodbye.

🤓 Book Review

Rating: 3.5 ✨
What to expect: a forbidden, slow-burn, age-gap romance standalone, ending in a HEA.
​
Thank you to Jennifer Hartmann & Valentine PR for providing me an ARC for an honest review.
​
When I first saw this book, I got so excited because I've heard so many great things about Jennifer Hartman's books. I was very intrigued by the premise and the fact that it's forbidden romance and age gap. This is my first Hartmann book and I can see why people love her books. I enjoyed her writing style and loved that this brought me so much 90's nostalgia. The topics in this although heavy were also empowering. I wanted the best for Halley.
​
To be honest, I struggled to get through this one. The beginning had me interested and invested. However, the middle dragged and felt repetitive. I guess, the flow and writing was good enough that it kept me going. I'd still recommend this to anyone who enjoys forbidden romance and age gap trope.

Older by Jennifer Hartmann is now live! 👀
​
What to expect: a forbidden, slow-burn, age-gap romance standalone, ending in a HEA.

​
Before he discovered my age, he uncovered my heart.

Bruised and abused, and victim to a loveless household, I shimmered with new life the moment he found me drowning my sorrows in a lake beneath the stars.

A chance encounter. An unspoken connection. I was smitten; he was curious. But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel.

He called me Halley, like the comet. I called him Reed.

And my best friend? Well…she called him Dad.

Besties! C.W. Farnsworth has revealed the gorgeous cover for Come Break My Heart Again!
​
Releasing: June 14, 2024
Cover Design: Books n Moods
What to expect: an angsty, opposites attract, forced proximity standalone romance
​
The first time Ryder James broke my heart, I was fifteen and sad. The second time he broke my heart, I was eighteen and jaded. Both times, I fell for him effortlessly. Falling is easy. Our landings are just hard. Painful.
​
We were a sad song with a slow melody. Wildflowers with paper petals. Hidden letters with visible tears. A beautiful tragedy.
​
Except tragedies have endings. Our story just…stopped.
​
Seven years later, I still have more questions than answers. Questions I’m too proud to ask after almost a decade of silence. Answers he refuses to share, no matter how much time we’re forced to spend together.
​
Everything’s changed…except how I feel about him. And the recurring moments when I’m certain Ryder hasn’t forgotten our past either.
​
Can you forget your first?
​
Or are they destined to keep breaking your heart…over and over again?

Sarah has always struggled to fit in. Born in South Korea and adopted at birth by a white couple, she grows up in a rural community with few Asian neighbors. People whisper in the supermarket. Classmates bully her. She has trouble containing her anger in these moments—but through it all, she has her art. She's always been a compulsive drawer, and when she discovers anime, her hobby becomes an obsession.⁣
⁣
Though drawing and cosplay offer her an escape, she still struggles to connect with others. And in high school, the bullies are louder and meaner. Sarah's bubbling rage is threatening to burst.⁣

Thank you to for sending me a copy of the book.⁣
