Trapped in Time: A Modern-Historic Love Story by Denise Daye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

General info

A woman, Emma, is hit by a car and wakes up in 1881. She meets a poor prostitute and with her help, they come up with a plan that will help her get home. Of course, nothing is easy, especially when there is a handsome lord who shakes things up.

Things I liked

I loooooooove this book! It has the romance of Jane Austen novels, but the lightness of a modern day women's fiction. The plot is interesting from start to finish and there's not too much of the stuffy, socialising that you usually get in historical romances. Of course, there's also the whole time-travel thing which makes this book so much different from a typical historical romance. And I think that is why I enjoyed this book so much. Of course, it's not all hearts and roses and Emma faces a lot of misery on her journey. That is also why the book never gets boring. It has modern day problems in a historical setting. And of course, the ending is brilliant.

Conclusion

To me this book is amazing and I will probably read it again someday, just because it made me laugh and almost cry. It's not heavy even though it's a historical romance. It's constantly interesting and nothing is too easy for Emma. All in all, this book is brilliant and one of my all time favourites.

General info

Gods, goddesses and their offspring. Other immortal and supernatural beings. A love story with a great heroine and hot male warriors. They fight the never ending war between good and evil. Add in soulmates and everything turns more interesting. 

Things I liked

I really like this book. The plot is interesting, and it never gets boring. I like how romance and the relationship between Alex and Uri is on the frontline even though they are constantly fighting against evil. I also like that this is not a typical supernatural story with vampires and werewolves. This has gods, and Demi-gods who happen to have some animal sides to them. It's refreshing at least to me. 
I have always found the whole mate thing to be nice and romantic and I really like the way it is presented here. Just makes me wish us humans had the one forever mate too. 

Conclusion

There was nothing negative that comes to mind now. All in all, this book is great and I can't wait to keep reading more in the series. I wish all the guardians have as interesting stories as this one is.

General info

Four different ladies, all connect together in some way. All have their flaws, their insecurities and problems. Everybody else seems to think their lives are perfect. One wedding brings them together and changes their lives drastically. 

Things I liked

The characters of this book are spectacular. They are all different, but strong women. They struggle in their lives, but other people seem to think their lives are perfect. They face their issues and they overcome them. 
The plot of this book is also really, really good. It keeps you guessing, but still it gives you hints of what's about to happen. It also really opened my eyes to think about other people, ordinary or famous people in the moment when I'm judging them. No life is perfect and things may not always be as they seem. Instagram gives you an entirely made up version of what is really going on, most of the time at least. And this book really made me realise that. That is why I truly, love this book. 

All in all, this book is amazing and it keeps you grounded. Women are strong, but every time you judge someone based on your beliefs, you might be hurting them more than you think.
