I read each book as an individual and not as part of the Omnibus Edition

Ekpen

I enjoyed reading about Ekpen & Holly as well as their cats Steven and Mistress Chaos in this series and thought this story was an entertaining and fairly quick read that does a good job of introducing the Grimalkin world into the multi author Intergalactic Dating Agency series. I am looking forward to continuing this series and reading about Ekpen's brothers Torao and Leo and seeing who they end up with.

I really enjoyed Leo & Tamara's story in this last book in this trilogy from the Multi author Intergalactic Dating Agency series and am also looking forward to reading about Apollo & Kate in Alien Indulgence: A Sci-Fi Alien Abduction Romance. Leo was so sweet in this story and I enjoyed seeing how him and Tamara helped support each other about their individual insecurities. I hope to read more books about Grimalkin as well as from the Intergalactic Dating Agency series.

I really enjoyed getting to read Torao & Amena's story in this book as well as all the cats that Torao takes care of at his cat sanctuary. These two characters had a fun story and I was happy to see how they managed to work things out in the end as well as when Amena and Holly from the first book in the series were reunited. I am looking forward to reading about Leo in the next book as well as their cousin Apollo in Alien Indulgence: A Sci-Fi Alien Abduction Romance.

This was my first book from this series that I have read and while I am sure there are aspects I would have enjoyed more if I was more familiar with the series it still worked as an enjoyable standalone. I really enjoyed getting to know both Callie and Aries in this story and seeing the two of them work through all their past misunderstandings and issues as the story progressed and their shimmerling companion Spark was cute as well.

I really enjoyed getting to know King Ulric & Queen Jessamin in this story and seeing how the two of them navigated their marriage while trying to understand one another and overcome differences and misunderstandings as well as working through their fears. Both were great characters and I was happy to see them work things out to reach their HEA. While each book in this series is about a different couple and can technically be read as a standalone it does have a bigger plot in the background and is enjoyed better as a series. I am looking forward to the next book and getting to know Khorrek better.

I really enjoyed getting to read about Morgan & Rhaz’k in this spin off series and am looking forward to reading about the rest of the Xarc'n Warriors in this area of the mountains. Morgan & Rhaz’k have a rocky start to their relationship but eventually work things out between them and I loved Morgan's cat Reese’s Pieces and how she interacted with Rhaz’k. I look forward to reading the next book and seeing what happens with May & Xik'n.

I had previously read and enjoyed Once Upon A Café but enjoyed the story better as a whole with the extra chapters in this omnibus. Thea & Nathaniel are great characters that I really enjoyed getting to know and I look forward to seeing how things come together for them in Once Upon A Cat: A Cozy Fantasy Frog Prince Retelling. Ginger the cat is also really cute. I look forward to reading about Sophia since her story is still on my TBR List as well as Dietrich in the next book being released.

This was a really fun Pride and Prejudice Variation that incorporates elements from several different fairytales including Cinderella (fairy godmothers), The Six Swans, and a brief nod to Snow White as well. This story was an entertaining and fairly quick read and it would be fun if the author decided to add another story showing how things go for Mary and Kitty when they get their turns with their fairy godmothers as well as Lydia.

This is the first book in the newest duet of the Cosmic Mates series and I loved all the new characters in it. This set includes two sets of siblings, human twin sisters Kismet and Karma as well as the alien princes Jaryk and Falkor. This book focuses on Jaryk & Kismet but their siblings provide a lot of support as well as humor and I look forward to seeing how they get together in the next book. The epilogue was also amusing and provided an unexpected surprise from Jaryk and Falkor's mother.

I LOVED this Retelling of Aladdin and all it wonderful characters and unexpected plot twists! This story was really fun and I really liked Kya as well as her amusing parrot Kipu. This story also had a lot of intriguing male characters as well and I was happy with how everything turned out but it kept me guessing for awhile about who to root for or trust. I look forward to reading many more fairy tale retellings by Abigail Manning in the future.

I really enjoyed getting to read this newest addition to the Alien Abduction Series and am looking forward to reading the next in this series Yasmin and the Yeti as well. This book was about Xara and the Xenobeast who later adopts the name Ash and I found both characters interesting. I also loved the 3 little alien pups Dot, Trouble, and Soldier that they rescued and seeing how each of the pups' personalities evolved as well as how they interacted with both Xara and Ash. The epilogue for this book was also really good and I was happy with how things turned out.

I was so happy to see a new book in this series and finally get to read Artek's story and the story lived up to my expectations. This story is about Artek & how him and his human mate Nala get together and I enjoyed getting to know Artek better as well as Nala's character. This story also introduces another fun pet sidekick for Artek named Zap who I loved getting to read about as well. I look forward to reading more from this series in the future.

I wasn't very familiar with the original story of the Goose Girl the first time I read this story but I found it very enjoyable with great characters and an entertaining plot. This was the first book in the series I read and I plan to look into reading more from the series.

Delphi's sister Astrid's story is in Book 02: Masquerade

This book is the first official book in its series of standalone but connected romances involving cryptid's and various mythical beings, although Moth to Her Flame is also connected to this series. I haven't read Moth to Her Flame yet (it's on my TBR list) and still enjoyed this story and getting to know both Dante (Jersey Devil) & Blair (Human) and seeing how their relationship and individual characters evolved as the story progressed. I look forward to seeing how this series continues and what character the next book will focus on as well as potentially getting to see more about Dante & Blair.

I was unfamiliar with the fairy tale The Golden Bird that this is based on but really enjoyed this story and all it's characters. Both Prince Kazik and Princess Helena were great characters and it was fun to see how the two of them grew up throughout the story as well as seeing their relationship change as they got to know each other better. This story also has several interesting side characters and it would be nice if in the future a follow up story was written to explore what happens with Prince Dominik and maybe even Prince Marek.

I was excited to get to read a new book in this series and as usual it lived up to my expectations. I enjoyed the relationship between Kara & Thraxar as well as the relationship between Thraxar and Kara's son Rory. The little alien girl Talia they found was also really sweet and I enjoyed how well the four of them formed a family. The epilogue at the end was a great way of wrapping up this story and I look forward to more books from this series as well as reading more from this authors other book series as well.

This book does a nice job of introducing the series and various different characters and I am enjoying the story so far. This series has an interesting plot as well as several characters that I like so far and I look forward to reading more of this series and seeing what happens next.

This was a fun story and a nice addition to the Hillcrest Hollow Shifters series of standalone shifter romances. This story was about Gregory (Minotaur shifter) & Kess (Human) and I enjoyed seeing how the two of them got together as well as overcame the obstacles that came up. I am also looking forward to reading the next book in this series about Jackson (Griffin shifter) & Gwendolyn.

I enjoyed reading this Retelling of Beauty and the Beast and getting to know both Ceryn & Vael’Zhur in this story. The story was engaging and I thought the story behind the curse was interesting and different than many others I have read to set this retelling apart from other Beauty and the Beast variations.

This was a really entertaining and fast paced novella with excellent world building and characters. I enjoyed getting to know both King Kaerius and Samantha in this story and thought the plot was engaging and kept me wondering what would happen next. I look forward to reading many more books by this author in the future.

This was my first book by Lucy Piper and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters as well as the world this series takes place in. While I am sure that the book would be even better if I had read previous books in the series and had more background knowledge of some of the other characters in this story it provided enough information to work as a standalone and I enjoyed getting to know Malcolm and Quinn as well as Quinn's daughter Hillary. The epilogue at the end was really fun and I look forward to reading more books from this series and author.

I was really excited to read this book because Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales and I loved reading this retelling of it. Malrik & Bella make a great couple in this story and I enjoyed seeing how their bond developed. The epilogue at the end did a really good job of showing how the two of them are doing a little into the future and I look forward to reading more books from this series as well as other books from this author in other series as well.

I really enjoyed this book and getting to know Oliver (Oliver Fields - Owl Ward) better after reading about him in the previous book The Tea Witch's Promise. I also enjoyed getting to know Hana (Hana Steeper - Tea Witch) in this book and thought her and Oliver made a good couple. Oliver's owl familiar Howie was also so cute and I loved the interaction between Oliver and Howie. I look forward to continuing this series and getting to know some of the other characters in Purple Oak Oasis.

This was a really fun Retelling of Rapunzel that I really enjoyed reading that had several interesting characters as well as a few unexpected plot twists. I loved Rapunzel in this story and seeing how her and Pollox the dragon interacted with each other, especially all their playful banter and teasing. Pollox was another character in this story that I really enjoyed getting to know. I was happy with how things worked out although questioned how it would come together for a moment and thought the epilogue at the end was a great way to wrap the story up. I look forward to reading more fairy tale retellings by this author in the future.
