Hitman’s Secret Baby By McKenzie Lewis

Hitman’s Secret BabyHitman’s Secret Baby by McKenzie Lewis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a book I received from the author as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

*WARNING: spoiler alert*

The story was a bit angsty for my taste but I was very excited to get approached by an author to do an ARC that of course I accepted XD

- I liked both the hero and the heroine. Ok I admit the move the hero made was a really shitty move but I understand where he's coming from but I can't imagine staying away for 10 years I would at least just inform my loved ones that I still love but keep it a secret from the rest (but you know what they say it's cant be a secret when more than one person knows about it so maybe that's also a reason why he didn't tell anyone)

- The heroine was very understanding I liked how she would back up the hero when she knows he's right but I hated the fact that she kinda kept some distance like keeping the daughter away

- I hated the fact that the people around the hero were tempting her with the current life and then the next second they are sending him back to the previous one when they are the same people who fought with him about them.

- I almost cried at the end when it came to the hero and his situation.

- I loved the epilogue it showed how the hero became a part of their every day lives but I would have liked to see how he got to know his daughter or her reaction when they got introduced to each other.

The Score (Off-Campus, #3) By Elle Kennedy

The Score (Off-Campus, #3)The Score by Elle Kennedy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For this book it took me sometime to start because I felt it might give a bit of an angsty feeling since the hero is a well known manwhore XD that's why I thought there might be complications and misunderstandings which are factors I hate in books. Even after I got my hands on the book I still hesitated till I finally gathered my gumption XD

- I liked the hero and the heroine but especially the hero but not because of the same reasons girls in the book like him but because he's actually smart but pretends that he's not, he's a great and loyal friend to have, and he's fun to be and have around.

- I liked the heroine because she was spunky but her hesitation when it comes to her ex kinda pissed me off

- I liked the parts of the story where the hero was with his friends and the kids ok especially with the kids that was definitely cute ^^

- I liked how the hero played the nonchalant fun guy but he was patient and tolerant and just plain amazing XD

- I liked the scenes with Winsten XD especially when Logan first saw him XD

- I teared up about the Beau thing since he's been with us since book 1 and I hated how the hero tried to adapt to it and the way the heroine made him face the facts was a wake up call he certainly needed

- I kinda liked the heroine's dad he was gruff and all that and he also stereotyped the hero as a spoiled rich boy but at the end he in a way acknowledged him XD

- I wished like the last book this one had an epilogue too

Koishi (GateKeepers, #1)Koishi by Annie Nicholas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok I'm gonna admit that the first thing that attracted me to this book was the Japanese name as a title since I have a kind of crush on anything Japanese XD but after reading the summary of this book I'm attracted to it more and more

- I liked the heroine and her intense determination to do what she must and it shows that she's a woman with a strong backbone for doing what she did ^^

- The hero was kinda cute XD he's always playing jokes since he has lived like forever and with nothing new to do

- I liked the pull the hero felt for the heroine and how he couldn't stay away oh and it was the best when he was always so protective of her XD

- I liked all the things the hero did for the heroine his actions were so cute XD

Ride Hard (Raven Riders, #1) By Laura Kaye

Ride Hard (Raven Riders, #1)Ride Hard by Laura Kaye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read only couple of books by this author which were in the Hearts in Darkness series which so awesome and everyone should read them.

So I've been looking around for an MC book without anything too deep into the illegal area and this one was perfect.

- I loved the hero and the heroine, especially how the heroine was all innocent and naive and scared but the under the care of those gruff bikers she blossomed and started to develop and she became more open

- I loved the reaction the hero had the moment he laid eyes on the heroine, I always like that gut reaction when the guy actually freezes for a moment to take her in, and especially when the heroine isn't the model type or she no self confidence in the looks area but he loves all her innocence and naïveté and warmness XD

- I understood where the hero was coming from with keeping his distance from the heroine but I was supporting the relationship from the get go.

- I loved how the hero got closer and closer to the heroine and how they were always just so perfect with each other and those 15 years difference between them don't even show XD

- Let me just saw I hated the heroine's dad the more I heard about her past and what he did the more I wanted to kill him.

- I loved the relationship and deep friendship between the heroine and her best friend and that last scene between the both of them made me cry.

- The ending was cute I just wished that there was an epilogue

His Royal Princess (Billionaire Boys Club, #3.5) By Jessica Clare

His Royal Princess (Billionaire Boys Club, #3.5)His Royal Princess by Jessica Clare
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ok I was a bit late in reading this since I loved the book in the series that was a sequel to this story with Griffin and his blond XD

- This story is about the princess and the Hollywood actor who marries in the series but here we witness their courtship XD

- The heroine had a fan crush on the actor so she wanted to see him in person and when she does he mistakes her for an escort so when the next day the truth comes out who she really is he burst his gut laughing XD

- Ok here she gets close to him and he feels a kinship to her and the Sparks starts flying

- The only thing that kinda almost ruined the whole thing when the heroine though that the hero didn't actually like her but acted like it

- I liked how the hero was so attracted to the heroine and how he was so all over her in a way whenever they were alone and vice versa

- I liked the time when he stayed at the castle XD

Hell's Kitty (Welcome to Hell, #4) By Eve Langlais

Hell's Kitty (Welcome to Hell, #4)Hell's Kitty by Eve Langlais
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok the hero was introduced in the first book and the heroine is a first timer for us but I didn't expect to like them both

- The heroine I kinda did expect since she was so cute and naive and innocent since the beginning the hero thought first his only redeeming quality was his loyalty and love for his adopted mother

- I liked how the hero made the heroine feel so appreciated and beautiful

- The heroine's aunt were cool and her mom a bitch

- I hated the heroine's mom and the mysterious dad didn't show up and we didn't get any hint of who he is until the last minute when he showed himself XD and I have to admit having a second heroine who didn't know who her father was this time the dad was cool the previous time not so much

- Throughout this series Lucifer hands down is my favorite character he's just so funny especially when he's with Mother Earth XD

Date with Death (Welcome to Hell, #2.5) By Eve Langlais

Date with Death (Welcome to Hell, #2.5)Date with Death by Eve Langlais
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one was kinda cute and funny XD

Ok here is how it started of it: A woman goes and preform a spell and she was supposed to die that's why the grim reaper who is our hero here shows up waiting to take her soul but she ended up being able I SEE the reaper before she even dies and that's why she doesn't

- And after the whole first meeting fiasco the heroine asks the reaper To a dinner date XD which is kinda like a cool move XD

- So it transforms from the heroine dying and the hero taking her soul to a series of dates since they are hot for each other and all that

- And of course Lucifer is the one who instigated all of that XD our resident hell matchmaker

- The ending was awesome when the heroine kinda throws her dad to the side and goes to the hero

A Demon and Her Scot (Welcome to Hell, #3) By Eve Langlais

A Demon and Her Scot (Welcome to Hell, #3)A Demon and Her Scot by Eve Langlais
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok so heroine badass hero meh he's ok I guess

- The heroine is all I'm a warrior and all that since she used to be a creature from Greek mythology

- The hero used to be cool, but now he's just a normal vampire and all of that is for a stupid reason. He used to be a scary as hell mean laird to people who fought him but then he went all soft for a girl and sold his soul to be the best golfer in the world (like seriously who sells his soul to be a golfer?!!)

- Anyway because of the heroine and her disgust toward the hero he shapes up and starts to look better since when was the last decade he took a shower or shaved

- I liked lucifer in here he was kinda cute with his puffed up chest and I'm the king and all that and at the same time he listens to his coach who is our hero and obeys XD

A Demon and His Psycho (Welcome to Hell, #2)A Demon and His Psycho by Eve Langlais
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm this sequel I loved the heroine and scoffed at the hero XD

- The heroine was badass I kinda wanna be like her XD I'm kinda one step in already since I already got the smiley all the type even when ur pissed face covered XD

- Seriously the heroine was so cool, to others she was crazy and all that with all her killing tendencies but totally cool to me

- The scoffing for the hero is because of his knightly behavior when it's toward the heroine it's all good but when he stays Ina celibate state for a bitch who kinda pushed him to his death and he still think of her as an angel ... Yeah totally scoffing

- I liked the ending how the hero proved to the heroine he loved her and all that

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm starting to really fall in love with Eve Langlais, her books are just that good this is my second series with her and I'm loving them XD

- This is my first time having demons and stuff as my main cast and I have to admit they are awesome

- The heroine was tough as nail and so headstrong and stubborn and the hero was perfect for her just perfect he didn't take shit for an answer and always have back what he was given double the amount and his dirty mind was exactly the type that the heroine needed XD

- The way the hero tried to prove to the heroine that he was over his manwhoring days and he wants to be as domestic as possible with her was really sweet

- The way the heroine was tortured every day was painful and how everytime the hero was worried about her was sweet too

- Believe it or not but Satan is starting is matchmaking business XD he's the one who hooked the main couple together XD

The Soldier's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #2) By Cora Seton

The Soldier's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #2)The Soldier's E-Mail Order Bride by Cora Seton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one was a bit more stressful for the characters than the previous one, a major reason for that is because for the fact that the heroine is an actress an all that.

- I liked the heroine from the start she was a good person and really nice

- Of course I hated her fiancée but I liked her driver he was cool XD

- The interactions between the hero and the heroine at first we ok but I liked how both started to have feelings for the other though the hero took longer to adjust

- I have to admit that I didn't like the idea that the hero was a single father and how the heroine wanted to distance herself in case he wanted to be with his ex

- The hero's interactions with the kid were nice

- I hated the truth about the kid and to which brother he truly belongs cause that was a shitty move to do to ur brother and the ex who is the kids mom I didn't like her she always acted bitchy to the hero here

- I liked the ending it was nice and cool and the heroine deserves everything

The Navy SEAL's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #1) By Cora Seton

The Navy SEAL's E-Mail Order Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek, #1)The Navy SEAL's E-Mail Order Bride by Cora Seton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I started this book because the title intrigued me cause we (romance books readers) know about mail order brides from western historical books but an Email one that's a bit new XD

- I didn't like the superficial approach for the wife hunting thing it's like their using the end justifies the means method

- I liked how the hero and the heroine started off with each other at diets with the emails and how they became friends through this though the hero obviously wanted more

- I looooved when he surprised the heroine at her home!!!!! That was amazing and cool and lovely

- I loved how the heroine had total confidence in the hero and went with him leaving everything behind and just going with him

- I felt kinda sorry for the hero with the way everyone acted around him it wasn't the warm fuzzy welcome I expected but I was glad the heroine was with him she kinda pulled him through it especially when the climax scene happened she was the one who pulled everything and him together

- The couple were great together and the loved the obstacle course scene XD

Once Upon Another Time: An Anthology of Tales (Once Upon a Time-Travel Book 4)Once Upon Another Time: An Anthology of Tales by Jill Myles
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shimmerlight (Once Upon a Time Travel)

Ok this one was in the same pattern as the last but with another artifact as a link and this time it's the artifact itself she falls in love with which is kinda nice in a way.

- I liked how the hero instantly grew attached to the heroine since she is the first ever to make him to back to a man just with hero touch

- I liked how comfortable they were together even though they didn't know each other long

- And this hero hands down is the oldest hero I read about timeline wise XD

- The ending was a bit sad for the heroine and more so for the hero but the end of the ending was nice XD

Overall, *thumps up*

--------------------
Mirrorlight (Once Upon a Time-Travel)

This is the first of a couple of short stories and I have to say I loved them!! They weren't like the others with a twist in a fairy tale it was more like a myth or a legend come to life like time travel related artifacts and stuff XD

This book centers around a heroine that no one thinks has much of a future and doesn't trust with a hero she can't even have a conversation with but in a way they connect through a mirror and through time XD

- I liked the idea of two people who though they don't have much in life but in a way found someone to connect to and what more that someone isn't from their timeline

- the background story for the hero was a bit sad and I almost cried near the end but thankfully what I was scared would happen didn't happen

- I liked the ending and what I loved most about this authors endings is that when the hero and heroine are finally together they stick like glue to each other when they think there is the slightest hint of them being separated from each other XD

Dark Light (Once Upon a Time Travel)

I loved this one!!!!
Greek mythology was always a favorite topic of mine and reading a twist like this is amazingly amazing XD

- I loved Hades and Persephone they were amazing together XD

- I loved how he wanted her the second he saw her

- I loved how the author painted Hades as the good guy who always keeps his word and the other guys as the spoiled frivolous ones XD

- I was shocked when I read the description of this book because it contained a warning about a somewhat exhibitionist sex XD but yeah it was cool too XD

- I loved the ending, really loved it in how the heroine achieved her goal and at the same time showed Hades Taft she wants him more than anything

Overall, *thumps up*

Sunlight (Once Upon a Time Travel)

Ok now we are back to the fairy tales we know - Rapunzel

- The heroine was the innocent type and always looking to be on the optimistic side since she used to have a bad heart condition so basically she's always nice XD

- I liked how she met the hero and they clicked eighth away XD

- Thank god like the rest she didn't follow muffin's instructions and seduce the wrong guy cause the other guys sucked the hero was much much better

- I liked how the hero always thought of her and her safety and what was best for her

- I liked how the heroine gathered her courage to do anything possible so she might end up with the hero

The Snow Queen's Captive (Once Upon a Time Travel, #3)The Snow Queen's Captive by Jill Myles
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

That was one interesting story, when u think snow queen Elsa comes to mind and the Queen from Narnia, but in this case the snow queen is started more like the Narnia one then became Elsa XD

At first I was hesitating because I didn't want the heroine to be a bad guy from point one it's kinda felt that it was mean to her like she finally got a second chance in life and she is forced to play the bad guy

- I liked how she didn't want to play the bad guy and tried to find way to save herself and avoid harming anyone

- I liked her progress with the hero, hoe hesitant he was at first then bit by bit he opened up to her and love her it was beautiful to see

- I liked how the hero became attached to her, they lived like a family as he so didn't want to leave her (I went to all gooey during those parts)

- I hated what happened to the heroine at the end and how everyone was mean except the hero and how they were reunited was beautiful

- I hated the girl who plays the heroine in the story the girl who is supposed to be the good guy in the myth cause she was mean and only wanted what was best for her and she felt self righteous about everything

- The epilogue was cute and endearing XD

The Beast's Bride (Once Upon a Time Travel, #2)The Beast's Bride by Jill Myles
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok that was nice, the author brings simple ideas and turns them into great stories

- I loved the main idea of belle's sister together with the beast.

- Didn't like belle at all here, she practically threw herself on any guy other than the beast and she was such a superficial person, because she would get close to beast just because he can spoiler her or whatever.

- I liked how the beast was more attracted to the heroine than Belle like how he sneaked glances at her when she was standing in front of the fireplace in her night gown that scene was my favorite XD and how both of them enjoyed their alone time so much it was their own version of a courtship XD

- I liked the story ended of course and here too they clung to each other like glue which was cute to see XD

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've read series's by this author but in a different Pen name and I loved all her books there wasn't one in the whole lot I didn't love and this series is no different XD

I've always been pulled to fairy tails retelling and one made by an author I like I just couldn't resist XD

- The heroine was great she had a backbone delivered what she wanted ppl to know even if she couldn't speak and she was smart, the hero on the other hand was stubborn and a bit obtuse he believed in one fact and kept it consistent throughout the story

- I liked how the heroine found a solution for her dilemma that was very brave and smart of her

- The priest dude on the other hand was *** and I just wanted to strangle him, what he did wasn't for God, not in any religion, he's just someone who is using God as an excuse to justify his actions because he's afraid of something unfamiliar to him.

- The near the ending part was sad and I was happy with how things ended.

- The ending was cute especially when each through the other person a teddy bear and hugged the other for dear life XD
