This book is the first in a new series and does a good job of introducing the world the series takes place in. I enjoyed the characters and getting to know them as well as seeing how Jamie and Alex bonded and how their relationship developed after first meeting in real life. I look forward to reading more of this series and her friends from the game joining her as the series continues.
This volume had a lot of great chapters & plot twists. I loved seeing how all of the characters and their relationships evolved throughout the book as well as getting to know more about them and their pasts, especially Sabrina & Shinji's pasts. This volume also introduced a new character that looks like he will add a lot to the story.

I read the second book in this first and then backtracked to this one after enjoying Wingman. I really enjoyed getting to know all the characters in this book and look forward to reading more of this series.
This was the first book in this series that I read (although I have also read and enjoyed other books by Cara Bristol) and I really enjoyed the story and all the characters. I look forward to backtracking to read the first book in the series as well as the books that follow this one.
This is the third book in the Alien Castaways Series and so far I have loved reading all 3 books. I really enjoyed getting to know Psy better as well as seeing more of Shadow, Tigre, Chameleon, and Wingman although Inferno wasn't in this book much. I also enjoyed getting to know Mysk better and would like to see more of him in future books as well. Psy and Cassie's relationship was a fun story that I really enjoyed reading. I look forward to reading the rest of this series.
This is the fourth book in the Alien Castaways Series and so far I have loved reading all of them. I was so happy to see Shadow finally find his Genmate before he ran out of time and the way things turned out was amusing. I really enjoyed how his relationship with Mandy began as well as getting to see the start of Inferno's relationship with his Genmate and their meeting. I look forward to seeing how things work out for Inferno in the next book and getting to know him better.
This is the fifth book in the Alien Castaways Series and so far I have loved reading all of them and getting to know all the characters as well as getting to see how the characters from the previous books are doing as the series continues. Inferno was such a great character and I enjoyed seeing how his and Geneva's story unfolded. I am also looking forward to the next book and seeing how things work out between Tigre and Kat.
Tigre is the sixth and final book in the Alien Castaways Series and I have loved every book and all the characters in this series. Tigre and Kat had their issues but eventually worked everything out and I was happy to see how things turned out for them. I was also really happy to see in the author comments at the end that although this was the final installment in the Alien Castaways Series I is not the end for this world as a new alien romance series featuring Edwin Mysk is being planned. I look forward to seeing what happens next for the ’Topians.
This is the third book in the Prime Mating Agency Series but was the first book in the series and worked fine as a standalone story. I enjoyed this book and the characters as well as the way the story was written as a whole and I plan to look into some of the other books in this series.
This was an interesting retelling of the Princess and the Pea and I enjoyed getting to know Princess Sativa and her betrothed Reidar. The part in the beginning of the book when they meet as children was really cute. The book does take some pretty dark turns later on but has a good end. Reidar's cousin Rudolf looks like an interesting character and I look forward to reading his story Blow: Three Little Pigs Retold (Book #09).

The tale of Melitta and George (and the dragon) is in Embellish: Brave Little Tailor Retold (Book #07)
This is a very interesting adaptation of the Little Mermaid that has some reference to the six swans with Margareta taking a vow of silence to break the curse that turned her brothers into birds although here it's twelve brothers into ravens instead of six into swans and her brothers deserved to be cursed rather than being victims. I liked the characters of Erik and Margareta as well as Penelope and look forward to reading more about them in future stories.

This was an interesting retelling of "Rumpelstiltskin" and I enjoyed reading about Molina and how this series draws so many connections to other books within it. This book also sets things up really well for a retelling of "Rapunzel" that I hope will be added at some point in the future.

I am not very familiar with the story Goose Girl that this was based on but I liked the characters of Ava and Gun as well as the Empress (Guns mother). I didn't like a lot of the other characters as this story had a lot of villains and dark elements in it but I look forward to reading the next book in this series and what happens with Ava's sister Bianca.

This is the first book in the Romance a Medieval Fairytale Series and is an intriguing retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It was not my first book in the series that I have read and each story in the series has connections to another and share a world but they don't need to be read in chronological order to be enjoyed. I look forward to reading more of this series.

This was the first book by this author that I have read and I found it very interesting and well written. I enjoyed the various different characters as well as how the story had multiple plots in it between the characters lives and Wanda the writers life. At one point we even got to see Trevor in his original story before he comes back to the house Hannah is stuck in. It was also nice to be able to see things from different perspectives (Hannah's view versus Trevor's when it was the character's story and Wanda's the rest of the time) and how the characters were able to help Wanda break free of her circle of bad habits long enough for Austin to help her find clarity. I liked the character Austin and seeing how him and Wanda interacted once he entered the story. The last chapter takes place 18 months later and it is nice to see how things turned out for Wanda as well as her characters.
This was a quick and entertaining variation of the Princess and the Pea fairy tale and I would like to read more of this authors fairy tale retellings in the future.
This was another really fun addition to the At the Alien Hotel series and I enjoyed getting to know Taruk better after the brief glimpses we have gotten in previous books in the series. I enjoyed seeing how Zoe and Taruk interacted throughout the story and how their relationship evolved. The yum-yums were also entertaining and I was glad to see the hotel critic Rathdalia make another appearance and that he got to have some fun at the hotel in this book. I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

This book is the prequel to the Xarc'n Warriors Series and does a good job of introducing the world this series takes place in. I backtracked for this book since I have already read a lot of the books that have been released so far and have enjoyed them all so far. It was nice to get to read about Cynthia & Cov’k and I also enjoyed the mentions of other characters whose stories I have already read.

This is the second book in the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides Series and I really enjoyed getting to read the story for Flame (AKA: Vin) and his love interest Carrie. This story can be read as a stand alone but is even better after reading Spark because you have a little more background information. I look forward to reading the next book in this series Blaze and think this series is a fun addition to the overlapping multi-author Intergalactic Dating Agency Series.
