Things take a turn when Saint becomes Brooke's son's mentor. They start to care about each other, but they face even more problems when the king forbids them from dating. 

Things I liked

It is really nice to have a story about Captain Saint. He is one of the supporting characters in the first two books, but it is really nice to hear his story as well. The story was is easy and quick to read. It is nice that you still know most of the characters, so the story is easy to follow if you have read those. The love story itself is beautiful. It's not easy for them but that makes it more beautiful in my opinion. 

All in all, I loved the story. The characters are great. The story is beautiful. It is easy to follow and it never gets boring.

The Un-queen by Fiona West

Stars: ★★★★★

Goodreads

Amazon

General info

The story of King Edward and Abbie continues. The war might be over, but not all people are happy about it. Especially when Abbie has announced that she won't take the place of a queen. The are constantly fighting the odds while trying to plan a wedding. 

Things I liked

I think I enjoyed this book even more than the first one. It's a beautiful story and it's even more romantic than the first book. Abbie and King Edward are now in love and fighting the fight together. The characters are still interesting and complex and I like that the supporting characters have their own little stories within the book even if it focuses on Abbie and King Edward. I'm truly happy that they get their happy ending. 

All in all, this is a lovely story and for me this was even better than the first book in the series. I can't wait to keep on reading the series.

Stars: ★★★★★

Goodreads

General Info

A runaway princess is forced to return home to say goodbye to her dying father and to try and get out of her marriage contract. There's also an award for her capture so she has to stay hidden while traveling. Her fiancé joins her at her journey and together they travel and get to know each other again.

Things I liked

I think I like everything in this book. The story is an amazing page-turner and there's not one moment that the book gets boring. The adventure they are on has twists and turns and it never gets too easy. It also keeps you on your toes at all times and I was constantly wondering what was going to happen next. 
The characters are complex, interesting and realistic. The princess is not perfect and they don't fall in love at first sight. The characters are also funny and there were times where I was laughing out loud.

All in all, I loved this book! I love that there is a happy ending and that it was not easy for them to reach it. It is a beautiful and interesting adventure with a hint of romance in the mix.

Boy Band Boyfriend by Leigh Ban

Stars: ★★★★★

Amazon

Goodreads

Dana and Gusun meet during summer classes in college. They start working together in a project and fall in love. Gusun, however, is a member of a famous k-pop band Undone and that causes some unexpected problems for their blooming love. 

Things I liked

First off, I'm not familiar with K-pop or Korean culture so I can't really relate to that part of the book, but I'm a 90's kid so I grew up with the Backstreet boys so I guess in a way I can compare these together. In that sense this book is great. It gives Gusun, a k-pop star so much depth and it makes him feel like an ordinary human and I really like him. I love stories where a extraordinary guy falls in love with an ordinary girl. And this is exactly that. 
The plot is great too. It doesn't move too quick or stay in place for too long. There's always such great things happening and I enjoyed reading this book throughout the book. 
Additionally, the love story itself is beautiful and I really truly, loved it. 

I have to say I cannot think of any things that I did not like in this book. 

Conclusion

All in all, this book was a great, quick read. It was a ordinary love story with a extraordinary twists. And a boyband hottie. I really enjoyed the book and I would not mind reading other books in the series

Long Live Dead Reckless by Safari Spell

Stars: ★★★★★

Goodreads 

Amazon

General info

Talor is an ordinary girl with a job, sick father and a dead mother. Until Sage turns up. After that unexplainable things start to happen. It’s a love story with a lot of twists and turns and a lot of danger.

Things I liked 

I have to say I loved everything. The story is beautiful and it has so much happening in it, it never gets boring. There is drama, love and friendship. There is fallen angels and supernatural beings. 
I really love the characters and how strong they are. This story isn’t a typical romance either and although it is sad, it’s still refreshing. 
I also like the way vampires are presented in this book. Vampires are the children of the fallen angels and that to me is a brilliant perspective. 

I don’t really think there is anything I did not like. Spencer’s fate is something I hate and something I’m still confused about, but other than that, this story is perfect to me. 

Conclusion

Long live dead reckless is a beautiful love story with a supernatural twist. Interesting and refreshing. I just love, love, love it!

Taken by A.L. Long

Stars: ★★★★

Amazon

Goodreads

General info

The third instalment in the Last Chance series. Lanie and Roman are finally back together, but a sadistic man is after Lanie and wants revenge on Roman. They manage to somehow stay together, but nothing is as good as it seems.

Things I liked 

This is the best book in the series so far. I enjoyed it and it is easy to follow and it keeps you hooked until the end. The characters are interesting and I feel they have evolved a lot from the beginning of the series. I think there is a good amount of suspense and romance in this book, and somehow it flows better than the first two books. 

Things I did not like

The ending for sure. Once again, a book in the series ends in a serious cliffhanger and this totally leaves the reader horrified. Other than that, I feel that this book has a lot more positive sides than the two books before it. 

Conclusion

All in all, this is a good and interesting book. It's really quick to read and the suspense and romance are in balance. There's no chance to feel bored when reading this book. So far, this is the best book in the series hands down.

Slaved by A.L. Long

Stars: ★★★

Goodreads

Amazon

General info 

This continues from where the first book, Bought, ended. Lanie gets taken back by her previous master and sold to another in a matter of hours. Roman searches for her and makes a deal with her other master to train her together. 

Things I liked 

Well, it continues the story of Bought so it was nice to be able to get some closure. It’s an interesting story even if moves on really fast all the time. 

Things I did not like 

Once again this has great potential but it doesn’t follow through. I like the story but it’s too fast temped and a lot happens in short time. In a way, I like this better than I liked the first book but once again it ends in a cliffhanger and I have to read the next book in the series to really find out how the story ends. 

Conclusion

A good but with great potential but it doesn’t completely follow through. Interesting story line, good characters and a cliffhanger ending.
