Darak (Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #1)

This was a really good introduction to this series and I enjoyed getting to know the characters as well as seeing how the relationship between Lexi and Darak grew through the story. I look forward to reading Lexi's sisters story next.

I really enjoyed reading about Toni and A ton in this story and seeing how they overcame all the problems and misunderstandings that got in their way. I look forward to seeing how things work out for Caid in the next story.

I received a free copy of Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Boxed Set Vol. 1 during the BookFunnel Alien Romance Book Fair May 2020.

This book is the third book in this series and is about Caid trying to convince his IDA Matchmaker that she is his destined mate. Both characters were introduced in the second book in the series. I really liked Caid in this book and was glad when they managed to reach their HEA with a little outside help. I look forward to reading more of this series. 

This was the fifth book in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides series and was about Barb & Kord. We briefly met Barb in the previous book so it was nice to see her story and I enjoyed seeing how things worked out with Kord. Kord came to earth with his brother Braxx who signed them both up without telling Kord first. While this book is centered around Barb and Kord's romance we get a peek at the next book's story about Holly and Braxx when they meet when Braxx comes to meet Barb. I look forward to reading more about them as well as getting peeks into how all the other characters are doing in the future.

This was the seventh book in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Series and I enjoyed this one just as much as the rest of the series. I enjoyed revisiting characters from previous books to see how they are doing including a few brief interactions with Enoki from Alien Mischief (Alien Mate Book #4) which I had coincidently just read. I also really enjoyed meeting and getting to know all the new characters in this book and seeing how Krash and Cyan's story came together. I have loved all the books I have read from this series and look forward to seeing what comes next for the Dakonian's whether in Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Series or it's connected Alien Mate Series.

This was the fourth book in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides series and was about two new characters named Moxie and Sixx. Moxie is connected to Lexi and Toni from the first two books in the series and we also get to briefly meet her friend Barb who is the heroine of the next book in the series. I really enjoyed getting to know Moxie and Sixx and seeing how things unfolded for them as well as the unexpected twist about another side character. The epilogue was really cute and I enjoyed meeting Sixx's son. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

This was a very enjoyable Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood and had several characters that I enjoyed getting to know. This is the second book in the Villain's Ever After Series that I have read and I look forward to reading more from this series and exploring more new authors through it as well.

This was a quick and interesting retelling of Little Red Riding Hood and I plan to look into reading more from this author.

This was a really enjoyable story and while it does deal with recovering from the loss of loved ones it still has plenty of lighthearted moments to keep the mood of the story up. I enjoyed getting to know Rhea better after having met her previously in Recalling Memories For Forgetful Phoenixes and I also liked Jack's character a lot as well. I look forward to reading about Jack's roommate Rupert in the next book Mixing Drinks For Tipsy Weasels.

I loved this book and thought it did a great job of introducing the Dakonian world as well as laying the groundwork for the series. I have already read the fourth book in the series as well as the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Series so I was familiar with some things but loved backtracking to get a fuller history of where the series began and getting to know Starr and Torg in this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book and reading about Torg's brother finding his mate as well as getting to know him better since seemed likable based on what we got to see of him in this book.

This was the sixth book in the Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides series and was about Holly and Braxx both of whom we met in book five Kord. I really enjoyed this story and seeing Braxx interacting with all the kids through his job as a teacher's aid as well as when he volunteered as a big brother for one of his students was really sweet. The epilogue at the end of this story was also a really fun and feel good chapter. I look forward to reading more from this series and any other Dakonian books as well.

This was a great book with lots of interesting characters and a great plot that pulls you in. This was a fairy tale retelling based on a combination of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses", "Little Red Riding Hood", & "Robin Hood". The main influence came from "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" with details from "Little Red Riding Hood", & "Robin Hood" thrown in along with the authors own original additions to make a very entertaining story. This was the third book in it's series however it is not necessary to have read the previous two to understand and enjoy this one although I am sure they would add to it. I loved reading about how Petunia and Oliver met and watching how their relationship grew throughout this book and also enjoyed seeing how Petunia and her sisters interacted with one another. I am definitely planning on reading the first two books in this series as well as other books by this author.

I really enjoyed this Retelling of The Goose Girl and while it isn't a fairy tale that I am overly familiar with I have read a few other retellings. I loved getting to see Helena and Wilhelm's story finally come together and really liked the two of them a couple. I look forward to reading more of this series and exploring more fairy tales in this world.

I really enjoyed reading this gender-swapped Retelling of Aladdin about Alyeesah and Prince Enver. The Genie was a fun character as well and I enjoyed seeing how everything worked out. The epilogue for their story was really nice and I am looking forward to reading the next book and what happened for Helena.

I really enjoyed this Retelling Of Red Riding Hood and thought it was a good addition to this series of standalone fairy tale retellings. This book has some great characters and I liked the reference that Red makes about Goldilocks inspiring her to become a Huntsman. I look forward to reading more from this series.

This was my first book by Lorelei Johnson and was an interesting Retelling of Red Riding Hood. I liked how the grandmother used bedtime stories to tell Scarlett about her past as well as the way the Red Cloak was made into a protective element that impacted the story without Scarlett being aware of how significant it was. I plan to look into reading more of the books from this series in the future.

I really enjoyed this Retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Abigail Manning. This is the second book in the Emerald Realm Series and while it can be read as a standalone it is better after reading Poisoned Heart since we first get to meet Lady Aurelia Lockly in that book. I really enjoyed Aurelia & Elias' story in this book and Elias' dog "Bear" was such a fun addition as well. I look forward to reading more books from this series as well as this authors other fairy tale series.

This was my first book by Abigail Manning and I really enjoyed this retelling of Snow White and look forward to reading more books from this series as well as her other fairy tale series. All the characters were well written and the plot had several twists to keep the reader engaged.

This book is the 5th book in the Earth's Children Series and takes place after Ayla and Jondalar finally reach his home the 9th cave. I really enjoyed this book and getting to meet all of Jondalar's family as well other members of the Zelandonii. As always with the books in this series there is a bit too much detail about the area and research about the period but there is more story and focus on the people as well so it is not too much skipping in this book.

I love this series and all the characters but since the characters are traveling the author includes a lot of research about the environment and history of the regions that I wound up skimming to get back to the story. I loved when they came across other groups of people though.

I really enjoyed this book and feel it is my favorite book of the series so far. The characters and plot were all really well put together.

This has been such a fun series and I loved seeing how the author incorporated dragons into the world of Pride and Prejudice as well as all the different types of dragons and their personalities. It was also really fun getting to know all the characters and seeing how Elizabeth and Darcy bonded throughout the series. The epilogue at the end of this book was also really cute and I look forward to reading what else this author writes about this world as well as some of their other Pride and Prejudice based books.

I am really enjoying this series so far and thought this book did a great job of continuing the storyline from where book 1 Pemberley: Mr. Darcy's Dragon left off and I can't wait to see what happens next in Book 3 Netherfield: Rogue Dragon: A Pride and Prejudice Variation. I look forward to seeing how Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship will continue now that they are betrothed as well as seeing how things go for Mary.

I really enjoyed reading this variation of Pride and Prejudice and how the author created a world with dragons that seemed so easy to imagine. I loved all the characters and getting to know all the dragons and their different personalities. While this book didn't leave off on a cliffhanger and could leave off here I definitely do want to read more of this series to find out what happens next and how Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship will develop later in the series since they haven't reached an understanding yet by this point.
