This was an interesting retelling of Beauty and the Beast that took place in Louisiana in the bayou with the curse being the work of a voodoo witch.

I LOVED this story and the characters Ru’ol & Stella. This was such a fun book and I really liked seeing Ru trying to understand all the Christmas decorations when he first got there and his love of hot chocolate is so cute. I also really liked how the book wrapped their story up in the epilogue. I look forward to reading many more books by Robin O'Connor in the future including the next book in this series There's an Elf in My Cockpit.

This was a really enjoyable retelling of Beauty and the Beast in my opinion and I enjoyed getting to know both Sabela and the Goblin King Nyar. I look forward to reading more of Lidiya Foxglove's Fairy Tale Retellings in the future.

This is an enjoyable Retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses with a lot of world building to bring the readers into the world of the book. This book also does a really good job of creating several wonderful characters that contribute to the story and doesn't just focus on one main couple the way several of the other retellings of Twelve Dancing Princesses I have read do. We get to know several of the princesses and 3 of them have romances to some extent in this book although 2 are more in the background than the eldest of the twelve. Overall I enjoyed this book and am glad I came across it.

This was my first book by Emily Michel and I found it to be an entertaining book set in a small town with several fun characters and an interesting plot. The epilogue at the end was nice but I might have wanted to see how things were a little further into the future for the couple.

I received a free copy of this book via StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was my first book by Clarissa Lake and while I did enjoy the overall story and the characters there were a few parts of the book were I didn't feel as drawn into the story as at other times. The epilogue was good and I liked how the story ended.

I received a free eBook copy of this book via StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the sixth book in the Obscure Academy series and is about Essie and Byron (both are Sprites) and them getting back together. Their relationship and breakup is briefly mentioned in the background of previous books so it was nice to get to read their story here and see them get back together. I look forward to reading the next book in this series Minor Inconveniences For Annoyed Pixies.

I really enjoyed this book and getting to know Michaela better after reading about her in previous books in the series. Michaela & Owen's story was really cute and a lot of fun and this book also gives us a large peak into Thalia and Evander's story (Blind Dates for Lonely Gorgons) as well as a bit more info about Essie so I am looking forward to reading more about her and Byron in the next book Trading Names For Polite Sprites.

This is the fourth book in the Obscure Academy Series and it focuses on Fiona (Mermaid) & Wade (Merman). Their story was really good and I enjoyed both their characters as well as learning more about the Mer society in this series. I hope Georgie gets a book at some point because she seems like a really fun character. This story also has a bonus prologue available on the authors website that I read after the story that was cute.

This is the third book in the Obscure Academy Series and it focuses on Melody (Siren) & Josh (Warlock). I really enjoyed their story and how they supported one another. I look forward to reading more of this series and getting to know all the other characters better.

This is the second book in the Obscure Academy Series and it focuses on vampires Bernie and Shane. I am really enjoying this series and getting to know all the characters and look forward to reading more about Melody in the next book Enchanting Songs For Silent Sirens.

This was the first book from the Obscure Academy Series that I have read and while I am sure there are things I would enjoy with more depth if I had read more of the series it was really enjoyable on it's own. This was a cute Halloween story that I was able to read quickly. I plan to look into more of this series.

This is the first book in the Obscure Academy Series and it focuses on Krissi (Leopard Shifter) & Jeremy (Tiger Shifter). This is the second book in the series that I have read in this series and they can all be read as standalone books but they also have lots of characters that show up as background / side characters throughout the series that also have their own full books as well. I look forward to reading more of this series and getting to know all the characters from this book better as well as any future characters.

This was my first book by Kate Sinner and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and world of this series. Jen & Valtair made a fun couple and I enjoyed Valtair's two friends as well and look forward to reading the next book in the series about Sutek. I hope we get to see more of Rist in the future as well as their friend Taruk who we heard about but didn't get to know much about in this book.

I really enjoyed getting to read more about Sutek and Rist after hearing about them in the prequel Oh No, I Got Myself Abducted And Kissed An Alien Pirate: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance Short Story. While reading the prequel first added to the story it could work as a standalone as well since this story focuses on Sutek and his human mate Elana. I enjoyed getting to read their story and look forward to reading more from this series and author in the future.

This was my first book by Leslie Chase and I really enjoyed it. All the characters were well written and I loved Megan’s alien cat Nebula and her collar that allowed her to be communicate. This was a fast paced story and I enjoyed getting to know Drask & Megan as well as Megan’s neighbors. It would be nice to see more from this world about some of the other characters in the future.

Review is for Bound to the Dragon by Robin O'Connor
I really enjoyed this story and the characters Rosy and Char. Rosy was a nymph and I haven't read many books with nymphs in them so that was fun and Char was a Dragon shifter. I enjoyed seeing how they grew closer as they fixed Rosy's inherited farm up while she was learning about her heritage and abilities. This is the first paranormal romance I have read from this author since I usually read their science fiction romances and I enjoyed this book just as much as all their others I have read so far. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future and maybe even some of this books other stories.

This was a really fun retelling of Cinderella. This book was really interesting and I enjoyed the fact that the author lets you pick what the character does at different points in the book. I definitely plan on rereading this book with different routes. Perhaps even all 8 routes eventually.

This story is a very interesting retelling of Cinderella with several interesting characters and twists that shape the story in unexpected but intriguing ways. This is a great story that keeps the reader interested and makes the reader want to keep reading till the end.

This was a very enjoyable retelling of Cinderella and I liked the fact that her stepsister Lacey was not a bad person and actually becomes an ally of sorts and begins to try and repent and treat Cinderella nicely. The end was also really nice and wraps things up nicely as well as giving readers a glimpse into the future. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.

This was an interesting retelling of Rapunzel with great characters and I loved the beginning when her and the prince were children. They were so cute together. This book did get more serious in the middle but has a happy ending with an epilogue to tell about their future. I plan to read more Fairy Tale Retellings by Jenni James in the future.

This was another very enjoyable fairy tale retelling by Jenni James. I enjoyed this retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses and seeing how everything worked itself out at the end as well as the way the author summarized Casey and Aleck's future. I look forward to reading more Fairy Tale Retellings by this author in the future.

This book is part of the Grimm Academy Series of Stand Alone Fairy Tale Retellings and so far it is only the third I have read although I do intend to read them all. I enjoyed reading this Retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses and getting to know Audrey & Eugene in this story. It was fun that Audrey had a cousin from a previous book in this series that we got to interact with although I haven't read Pumpkins And Proms: A Fairy Tale Retelling Of Cinderella yet so I look forward to backtracking and reading Florian & Ella's story later. Three of Audrey's Twelve younger sister's also joined the story partway through the book and Karen also has a fairy tale connection by introducing elements of "The Red Shoes" which is a Fairy Tale by Hans Christian Andersen that also revolves around dancing that I was less familiar with although the two worked together here really well. In the end notes the author says she may write more about Karen later which should be interesting.

This was the first book in the Alien Mate series that I have read although I have read several books from it's related Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides Series. I really enjoyed the plot and characters in this book as well as seeing how things came together for Madison and Enoki. I look forward to backtracking to read more of this series as well as many other books by Cara Bristol.

This was the second book in the series and involves Zont and his human mate Amelia and their story is really interesting between Amelia having removed her translator to avoid being tracked but also making it harder to communicate and then also finding themselves under attack while he is trying to convince her that he is her mate. I enjoyed getting to know both Zont and Amelia in this book. The end and epilogue of this book also begin to set things up for the next book in the series and I look forward to finding out what happens.
