Book Review: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros is LIVE

Fourth Wing, the first book of the Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros, is LIVE! Check out my spoiler-free book review of this epic fantasy romance. 


The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros Kindle Crack

Blurb

 

Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros

 

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

 

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

 

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

 

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

 

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

 

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Spoiler-free Review

Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, #1)Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, 1) by Rebecca Yarros is absolutely brilliant! Rebecca knocked it out of the park with the first installment in The Empyrean series. Did I ever think I would be obsessed with dragons and magic? Nope. Rebecca's addictive storytelling made me fall hard for this brutal, new adult fantasy world. Move over Game of Thrones; there's a new badass dragon world that will leave you breathless! 

Rebecca's writing style captivated me from the first to the last page. I felt like I was riding a dragon, learning to wield magic and training in hand-to-hand combat, all while trying to stay alive. This story played out like an edge-of-your-seat action adventure. I need the next book YESTERDAY with that ending! I'm invested in these characters and can't wait to see what happens to Vi and Xaden and all of the fantastic secondary characters in the next book when it releases in November 2023. Hands down, The Fourth Wing is one of my top reads of 2023—Chef's kiss!

Cover Reveal: Something Unexpected by Vi Keeland

THIS COVER IS HOT!  I couldn’t wait to show you the cover + synopsis for Something Unexpected by Vi Keeland. This sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller Vi Keeland will release on July 3rd. 


Something Unexpected by Vi Keeland KindleCrack

Title: Something Unexpected

Author: Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative

Model: David J. Harman

Release Date: July 3, 2023

 

BLURB

 

When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks. 

 

After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number.

 

Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures.  At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice.  After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion.

 

When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane.

 

Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning. 

 

To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night.  Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start.  But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink.  As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up. 

 

I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again.

 

Except never came a little early.  Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend.  Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night.  And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.

If This Is Love by Jewel E. Ann video review Kindle

Jewel E. Ann's If This Is Love is a rare gem of a book that had me hooked from the very first page. I couldn't put it down and ended up reading it twice!  I think that speaks volumes (see what I did there).This soul-sucking second-chance romance is a rollercoaster ride of emotions that brilliantly weaves a tangled web of love, lies, and secrets in a way that is both heartwarming and heart-wrenching. If you're a fan of the Yellowstone TV series, you'll love the darkish and emotion-packed cowboy romance. If This Is Love is a must-read. So saddle up and get ready for a wild ride - this book is one you won't want to miss!

𝗕𝗟𝗨𝗥𝗕 

Within the tangled roots of grief, we stand to lose so much. But no one ever acknowledges what we stand to gain.

Strength. Perspective. Appreciation. Resilience.

And sometimes, every once in a while, if you’re truly lucky…

There is love.


After an emotional cliffhanger, we finally get inside Cal's head and discover his secrets, along with more details of his tragic past, that have been keeping him from Lucy.


A Pessimist's Guide to Love is the final installment of the Heartsong duet, ending in a guaranteed HEA.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Pessimist's Guide to Love by Jennifer Hartmann is book two in the Heartsong Duet. If you read An Optimist's Guide to Heartbreak, there is no way you aren't reading this book after that cliffhanger ending. Cal and Lucy gave me emotional whiplash as they worked through their issues. I felt every emotion reading this book. I needed answers, and Jennifer delivered. Cal and Lucy's relationship is the epitome of the grumpy/sunshine trope! Their hard-earned HEA made my heart sing!

Autumn Nights by Willow Aster on Kindle Crack
Synopsis:

He's a hot football star and a sexy-as-sin single dad. Zac Ledger is everything I never knew I wanted.


A prince on a white horse swooping in to save the day...


Isn't that every girl's dream? Maybe for some, but I've never expected to find my own happily ever after.


I've made one bad dating choice after another, and it doesn't help that my only example of marriage is my dad leaving my mother before I was even born.


I'll never be a believer in fairy tales.


So, imagine my surprise when I meet Zac Ledger at my sister's wedding.


He is the total opposite of my usual type: gorgeous, confident, and genuine.


He's also athletic, and I am so not.


They call him the GOAT in the NFL...and I didn't even know what either acronym meant until my sister told me.


But there's something about him.


One drink.


One dance.


And I'm ready to believe that there are actually good guys out there.


That is, until I overhear him on the phone and I realize he's just like every other jerk I've dated.


When he hires me as his interior designer to come work on his new house, I resist, but he's persistent.


My goal is to finish the job and keep him at a distance.


But I'm not prepared for the real Zac Ledger or the way he dotes on his adorable little girl.


And when the renovation dust begins to settle, I realize there is more to Zac than his NFL accolades, and maybe, just maybe, he will prove to be the one man in my life that chooses to stick around.

Review of Autumn Nights by Willow Aster

Autumn Nights  
Autumn Nights by Willow Aster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Autumn Nights by Willow Aster is absolute single-dad romance trope perfection. I couldn't love Autumn, Zac, and Ivy more, even if I tried. Zac's relationship with his daughter Ivy in itself was super special. Willow scored a touchdown with my heart with this addictive and heartwarming romance. One-click worthy.

The Intern by Marni Mann Kindle cover
A scorching hot enemies-to-lovers office romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann…


In the legal world, everyone knows my last name. So, when Declan Shaw—the hottest, most ruthless and sought-after litigator in the state—comes in to mentor my class’s mock trial, I decide not to reveal that piece of personal information.


I want a one-on-one with him like I’m any other law student, especially when we go out to celebrate after class.


But the one-on-one ends with us in the alley behind the bar.

With us stripping off our clothes.

With me screaming his name.

It’s desperate-to-have-you, no-holds-barred, downright filthy sex.


And then, he ghosts me, like a complete alphahole.


But a few weeks later, when I walk into The Dalton Group—my family’s law firm—where I’m starting my internship, my new boss is waiting for me.


The man I despise.

The man I can still taste in my fantasies.

Declan Shaw.

Hello Bookgasm! The Intern by Marni Mann is smoking hot. This age-gap, forbidden office romance is F I R E. My Kindle is smoking. I wanted a cigarette and an ice-cold shower after I finished this book. The Intern is Marni’s hottest book yet.

Synopsis:


Wolf Wayburn is the devil in an Armani suit. Most women would drop to their knees at just the sight of him. Lucky for me—I’m not most women.


The first time we met, he cut me off at a gas station.

So, I flashed him the bird and mocked his family jewels.

The second time we met, he tried to get me fired.

He took his shot—and he missed.

At least for now.

Wolf Wayburn was an ex-Navy SEAL with an attitude.

But it would take a lot more than the big, bad Wolf to scare me off.

I had ninety days to win the man over.

To convince him that I was the right person for the job.

But spending endless amounts of time with him proved more challenging than I’d expected.

He was stubborn and broody and charming and sexy—all at the same time.

I despised him as much as I craved him.

We taunted and teased and terrorized one another for weeks.

The first time he dropped to his knees, it was to search me for a weapon.

The second time… it was an altogether different story.

I never planned to fall for the enemy.

Because I knew it was easier to hate Wolf Wayburn than to love him.

Only Mine (Honey Mountain #5)Only Mine by Laura Pavlov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Only Mine by Laura Pavlov on Kindle Crack

Only Mine by Laura Pavlov is the last book in the Honey Mountain series. I couldn't wait to read Dylan's story because she has been such a standout character in the series, and I had huge expectations. I'm thrilled to report that Only Mine surpassed my expectations. Dylan met her match when she finally came to terms with her feelings for her "enemy" co-worker, Wolf. That's all I will say because I want you to experience Dylan and Wolf for yourself. This hate-to-love-you workplace romance is five star Kindle Crack.  

I knew writing this review would be bittersweet since this is the final book in the series. I've said it before, but it bears repeating, this series is truly small-town romance lovers gold!  

The Honey Mountain series of interconnected standalones can be read individually, but I recommend reading them all to appreciate the sisters' relationships.

I'm thrilled that Laura is working on a spin-off series featuring Thomas' sister's cousin! I'm excited to read Into the Tide (Cottonwood Cove) when it releases in March 2023.

Laura Pavlov author Kindle Crack

Laura Pavlov writes sweet and sexy contemporary romance that will make you both laugh and cry. She is happily married to her college sweetheart, mom to two awesome almost-grown kids, and dog-whisperer to one temperamental yorkie and one wild bernedoodle. Laura resides in Las Vegas where she is living her own happily ever after. Be sure to sign up for updates on new releases. Laura loves to hear from readers!
