I really enjoyed this book an I've never tried this author before. The flow of the book was good and I can't say there was much I didn't like except that I feel like there could've been more to it. I liked this characters and the fact that the chapters were related to the 12 steps of addiction recovery


Seeking Solace is the first book in the Solace seies. The author weaves the tale of two kingdoms together into a fantastic believable world, brimming with royalty, religions, and madness. There are more than one protagonist, so the author puts you in many characters shoes and although there is a true sense of good and evil, one doesn't have to look too far to see that this author is skilled in showing us that all is not what it seems.
Lovers of epics such as the Game of Thrones will love this book, full of political intrigue and magical beings. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the genre and look forward to the second book.

I'm working my way through mine, since I hadn't read the previous book since a long time ago, it's taken awhile to remember the storyline.

Oh yes, the book is great and unlike the Game of Thrones was less than 300 pages, so was able to do without panicking! Sometimes the time just gets away from me! Hope your new book is something that you will enjoy. :)

I don't have a lot to say about this book: I liked the author and reading the blurb Guarding Morgan sounded like something I'd like. the premise was really good but it wasn't delivered. too simplistic to me.


This was not my favorite book of Nicole's just because the heroine annoyed me so much. This is saying alot because I LOVE Nicole's books. This women knows how to write sexy, heartwarming, emotional, lol books that make you long for the next one to be released. While this book had all of that in spades I just couldn't get past the fact that I just don't like Jessie and thought Braydon could have done alot better. With that being said I still will be diving into the next one because this women can write an erotic romance book.

Not my favorite book in the series but I love this series and JK Rowling.

These stories are always over the top and Nik and Ben are so dysfunctionally functional :D But I love them, they are always entertaining and so emotional. I font even know how they get in these situations !

I'll update the post tomorrow cause I'm already in bed. Steph are you going to roll right?

I love when I'm able to finish off a series!

Midnight - 3rd in series"
How is this series Snowtulip???"
Love it Stella, book one was good, but it was book 2 that kept me so engaged in the characters and made me a fan!
Not sure why I waited so long to start this book...well other than getting distracted by new books :D

ok I'll try it asap :D


I would definitely recommend this series. There are many moral dilemmas, choices that have to be made in the worst circumstances, this tale in a dystopian world brings many modern day parallels to mind. A definite thumbs up.
I found I couldn't put the book down! Love that when it happens.

I have seen the first two, but not the third. The movies did a pretty good job in capturing the books, but I always find that the author has so much more to say, and sometimes it is totally different than what the move producers show. I do plan to see Mockingjay when it comes out on TV. I was surprised that I liked the book so much. To tell you the truth, I thought the writer's style a little simplistic, but then again, my middle-school aged grandson could read them, so that is a big advantage. Did you see the movies and/or read the books?

That's one of the great things about mid-grade and YA books recently, you can share the love of the same books with the whole family :D

This is my least favorite in this series so far. I just had a hard time really connecting with the characters (they were a bit too mushy and immature). I still really like this world, but this wasn't a gem of the series.

I'm curious to see what you thought of this book, it sounds good.

Absolutely love anything this author writes. She never disappoints me with her writing. I have nothing remotely negative to say. :)

Well that says a lot! I just went and read the brief review on this and I am putting it on my want-to-read shelf. Looks a little heavy, but definitely thought provoking. Thanks for the review.

This book is a really well done fantasy story, funny, well written, with a true plot, some action and a lot of love. I fell in love with Sebastian since the start and his family was hilarious! I can't wait for the next one to come out.

I can't post my "official" review yet cause it needs to be out on the blog first. But I can tell you that I really liked it, considering this should be the first book by this author, it definitely exceeded my expectations.

I love this series. I just can't get enough of Ryder, Syn and all those sexy a$$ men of his. This series just keeps getting better and better. It is full of action, romance, angst and everything in-between. Amelia is one of the best storytellers and worldbuilders in the business. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
