Dangerous Trio (Dangerous Trio 1) by Jana Leigh

I was given a copy of this book.

4 out of 5 Stars

What did I like?
Although the story was short (only 40 pages) I was intrigued with where the story was going. The main trio managed to get together for their HEA within the short story.

What did I not like?
It was a cliffhanger kind of ending. Despite the trio getting their HEA, it felt incomplete and a bit rushed.

Would I recommend this book?
Definitely a series to look more into to.

Cat's Choice (Chosen's War 1) by Jana Leigh

I was given a copy of this book.

5 out of 5 Stars

What did I like?
This book dealt with the heavy subject of abuse. It showed healing and encouragement while still revealing the evilness of the act.

Would I recommend this to a friend?
I would encourage the reader to read the books in order, although it was ok as a standalone. This is the first book in the Chosen Series, a spin-off of the Denver Pack Series.

Earth Day

Lyrics for the Earth Day Anthem set to Ludwig van Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"





Joyful joyful we adore our Earth in all its wonderment
Simple gifts of nature that all join into a paradise
Now we must resolve to protect her
Show her our love throughout all time
With our gentle hand and touch
We make our home a newborn world
Now we must resolve to protect her
Show her our love throughout all time
With our gentle hand and touch
We make our home a newborn world

Release Day Review: The Alpha's Heart (Wilde Creek 2) by RE Butler

I won this book in a giveaway.

5 out of 5 Stars

What did I like?
I love Brynn and her attitude towards Acksel. After the ways he screws up, she makes him prove he's learned to treat her better. I also like that they are moving into this century with the new laws. I also like the way Brynn finally proves herself. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of fight in the dog!

What did I not like?
Acksel needs to be brained multiple times in the beginning of this book. He was a classic example of the phrase: The road to Hell is paved with good intentions...

Recommendation: I am looking forward to more in this series, particularly Nila/Malachi and Mia/Lucien.

I was given a copy of this book.

Heartbreaking
5 out of 5 Stars

We learn more about the overall plot in this book. I cried after I read about the mom. Definitely need to read this series in order, although each couple has their own stories the overall story line overlaps the entire series.

ARC Review: Beyond Solitude (Beyond Series 4.5) by Kit Rocha

I was given a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Nice Change of Pace
5 out of 5 Stars

What did I like?
I liked that while the story focused more on the couple it didn't lose the feeling of family so prevalent in the other books. There was enough appearances by the O'Kanes to feel like the story fit without overshadowing the fact that the hero/heroine were on the fringes.

What didn't I like?
While they overcame the problem, there wasn't a feeling of HEA that your get from the other books. The hero/heroine still have a ways to go to reach the same place as the other O'Kane couples.

Would I recommend this book to a friend?
If you like the Beyond books, this is a great addition to the series. If you haven't read the series, this is probably not the best place to start, definitely one of those read in order kind of books.
