Review: You can probably tell from the speed which I read this that I loved it and couldn't put it down. Kelly Fox has a very easy-to-read style of writing. She bounces between the two MCs points of view, always heading their sections with their names so you never doubt who you're hearing from. They give fun asides to their stories which I think is what makes this unique. Roly and Heath are both lovely men with Roly trying so hard to atone for how he used to treat people in the past, and Heath being one of those people from his past he needs to atone to. The other characters we know from previous books are in this as characters, with no attempts to rehash their stories or explain who they are besides how they relate to the current MCs. Loved it. Wish I could have finished it last night, but finally had to put it down after 1:30 when there was still 30 pages to go.

Beau Pair by Rhys Everly
200 pages /GR first kindle edition
How it fits: See cover
Read: 20/10/21
Rating: 3 stars
Review:
Look, this was fine but there wasn't anything exciting about it. We've all read it before. However, not only is this a teacher/student romance, it's also a boss/employee student with Beau being a manny living with Gordon and his daughter. And that's the whole conflict of the book. Endless will they/ won't they scenes. Over and over. On repeat. But it was cute. And very steamy. I liked that. This books would've done well with another round of editing before being published. There were some spelling error and a scene where Gordon was dressed one second, then undressed and then dressed again.

Rating: 4 stars
Review:
I'm happy to say that NautiCal didn't fall under the curse I've had with this author lately. Sure, it's over the top and extremely unrealistic but it lacked the thing that makes me roll my eyes while reading. I actually enjoyed the "over the topness" in this one. It was actually funny.
I liked Cal and Worth together, but Cal totally stole the show. He was a ray of sunshine, I got happy as soon as he had some page time.

Review
I really enjoyed this, in fact it has to be up there amongst my favorites for fake boyfriend tropes. I fell in love with Matty right at the beginning when he’s having a memorial service for his beloved cat. How could anyone resist that!
Put it on my to read list Dee. Looks fun.

I’ll probably be at work when We get our new task but go ahead and choose books and I’ll fix the tracking when i get home.
I am still reading my Bingo book, so no rat farts for me.
Diane wrote: "I am still reading my Bingo book, so no rat farts for me."I am done as I pick a 127 page book for bingo. It was bad also! Chris was a to stupid to live character. He knew he was in danger and he goes out in about almost gets killed. Does he learn? Nope he does it again and again. He was suppose to be a 100 years old and yet he acted like he was two. Not my favorite 😂😂
I read Alice Winters Happy Endings (just finished). I do enjoy her writing for the most part but I am starting to find some of the humor to be very 'Frat Boy' and not always to my taste.
Here you go!Task 13 - 26. Read a minimum of 750 pages in books featuring shifters.
Books selected for this task need to feature shifters, shapeshifters or were-somethings. Don't forget to let me know how you know your book qualifies, be it title, precis, tags or lists.

I’m in the mood for a mystery shifter book. Any recommendations?
Jordan L Hawk? or Charlie Cochet or have you read all those??

Review: I love this series a lot but this book had to much happening. It was Bill again in trouble. The fairies trying to either exile him or imprison him. Then we have the troubles of Dandy the newest member of the clan. Only part that was remotely fun is the byplay between son and father. I love the 18 inch fairy 😂😂 yelling at his dragon shifter son. This book felt like filler and left me puzzled on why it was not fleshed out. It was funny in places so
3 stars
I am around 60% through mine. Going to see the new James Bond tonight though so not sure if I will get it done.

Jamie and Sara are going to see the new Halloween movie tomorrow before meeting Emily and Will. They are going to a big Halloween street party. So Harry and I will have a evening by ourselves tomorrow 😂😂

I love this book. I love Lance and Tim. I love all the dog shifters. For someone as crazy about dogs as I am, this is basically the perfect fit.

Review
What starts out as an kinky orgy of shifters, turns into a kinky romance between three very different characters. Revv and Chris are fairy penguin shifters, and Gray is a polar bear. The world building with the different mating cultures was really interesting. I loved all three together. It was a HFN with more of their story to come in the next book. Only reason it didn’t make 5 star, I was disappointed we never saw them in their shifted forms.
I am thinking of reading the new Love Springs Eternal for bingo. I have not read it. I am hoping it is on the list and it is 110!

I love that series. I am not sure I like the new covers but it seems when they change publishers they all get a makeover
Ack, just got back from James Bond!!! Wow. Finished my book on the subway coming home. Forgot Bingo Cat was called today. Gotta check it out. Am close to finishing the 4th book in Beacon Hill series. Really like it.

Review: I think I let the length of this book put me off reading it for a while and that was pretty silly. Lovely story. It was a pretty fast read too, I found. Very easy to get into it. About the king's best friend Baldewin sent off to contact a new mage they found and how he very cautiously wooed Tori and convinced him dragons were trustworthy. The bad guys, the Jaeggi, are still out there being villains for no apparent reason, but I am thinking the entire series needs to be read to really find out.

OMG, Amazon just let me borrow more than 10 books in Kindle Unlimited! What??? Yay!!
Jamie just came home. There was an attempted murder where he work. An fellow worker was shot but is going to live. The man was tackled. Jamie said he saw nothing. He was unloading a truck. He said he didn't even hear the shots fired. I asked are you sure a gun was used? He said what else would be used.
