Variation by Rebecca Yarros Review on Kindle Crack

Synopsis:

Elite ballerina Allie Rousseau is no stranger to pressure. With her mother’s eyes always watching, perfection was expected, no matter the cost. But when an injury jeopardizes all she’s sacrificed for, Allie returns to her summer home to heal and recover. But the memories she’s tried to forget rush in and threaten to take her under.

As a Coast Guard rescue swimmer, Hudson Ellis knows that hesitation can mean the difference between life and death. He’s always prided himself on being in the right place at the right time, especially when it came to Allie Rousseau…until the night he left for basic. After the biggest regret of his life, the secrets he keeps mean he can never be with the one woman he wants more than his next breath.

When Hudson’s niece shows up on Allie’s doorstep, desperate to find her birth mother, Allie finds herself in an unimaginable position. Allie and Hudson’s past and present might be endlessly complicated. The thread that tied them to each other all those years ago may have unraveled, but the truth could pull them back together, or drive them apart forever.

Spoiler-free Review of Variation by Rebecca Yarros

Variation by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Variation by Rebecca Yarros takes readers deep into the intense, high-stakes underbelly of the ballet world, where the Rousseau sisters reign as the rock stars of the stage. Together with their mother, they've taken the ballet world by storm, but behind the elegance and grace lies a tangled web of secrets, lies, and heartbreak. Much like the pointe shoes they wear, these secrets are bound tightly, threatening to unravel at the seams.

At the center of it all is Allie Rousseau, who has grown cold and closed off after having her heart shattered by Hudson Ellis many summers ago. A twist of fate brings them back into each other's orbit, setting the stage for a beautifully dysfunctional tale of love, lies, and healing. Rebecca Yarros expertly weaves a story that is as emotionally raw as captivating.

Hudson is filled with regret for his past choices, and the tension between him and Allie is palpable. Variation is a second-chance romance that delivers the perfect balance of drama, unexpected twists, and a touch of spice. Rebecca paints a vivid picture of love, loss, and redemption, proving that even in a world filled with blood, sweat, and tears, second chances can lead to something truly beautiful. One-click worthy!

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 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!

“I’ll take them!”

That’s what I tell the social worker when my pre-k student and his baby brother need an emergency foster placement. I’ll do anything to keep the brothers from being split up. But my apartment’s flooded and there’s only one house I can take them to on such short notice…his.

Knox Daniels, my older brother’s best friend, offers his new place without hesitation. He’s not moving back to our tiny town until next month—that’s when all our hotshot firefighters are returning for their one and only chance to rebuild our fathers’ fallen, iconic crew.

It doesn’t matter that I’ve been silently in love with Knox since we were kids. It can’t matter that we pretend that reckless prom night kiss never happened. It won’t matter that my feelings for him could destroy his lifelong friendship with my brother and threaten the certification of their hotshot crew. Because I’ll be out of his house long before he gets back.

Except Knox just walked in…a month early. And the icing on this awkward cake? He’s gorgeous as always and I’m covered in baby puke. He takes one look at the boys and tells me we can make this work—

We can temporarily fake a relationship to keep them from being separated by the system.

Suddenly, everything matters.

Reason to Believe by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reason to Believe, by Rebecca Yarros, is the first book in The Legacy Series. This new release is going to set your heart on fire with all of the feels!

Knox moved back home to resurrect his town's Hot Shot fire team. The Hot Shot team is a crew of firefighters specializing in containing wildfires. Knox lost his father and other members of the Hot Shot team in a devastating fire years ago.

Knox has always been attracted to Harper, his best friend's sister, but she's off-limits. Harper, a pre-school teacher, asks Knox for help with one of her students and his baby brother. They fake a relationship to become emergency foster parents to two sweet little boys.

Knox can fight fires, but can he fight his burning love for Harper? Can Harper give Knox a reason to believe he is worthy of love? This small town brother's best friend romance was heartfelt and such a great story! I can't wait to read more books in this new series.

Told in alternating timelines, THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED examines the risks we take for love, the scars too deep to heal, and the endings we can’t bring ourselves to see coming.

Twenty-eight-year-old Georgia Stanton has to start over after she gave up almost everything in a brutal divorce—the New York house, the friends, and her pride. Now back home at her late great-grandmother’s estate in Colorado, she finds herself face-to-face with Noah Harrison, the bestselling author of a million books where the cover is always people nearly kissing. He’s just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she’ll

be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he’s the one to finish her grandmother’s final novel…even if the publisher swears he’s the perfect fit.

Noah is at the pinnacle of his career. With book and movie deals galore, there isn’t much the “golden boy” of modern fiction hasn’t accomplished. But he can’t walk away from what might be the best book of the century—the one his idol, Scarlett Stanton, left unfinished. Coming up with a fitting ending for the legendary author is one thing, but dealing with her beautiful, stubborn, cynical great-granddaughter, Georgia, is quite another.

But as they read Scarlett’s words in both the manuscript and her box of letters, they start to realize why Scarlett never finished the book—it’s based on her real-life romance with a World War II pilot, and the ending isn’t a happy one. Georgia knows all too well that love never works out, and while the chemistry and connection between her and Noah is undeniable, she’s as determined as ever to learn from her great-grandmother’s mistakes—even if it means destroying Noah’s career.

Review of The Things We Leave Unfinished

The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In The Things We Leave Unfinished, Rebecca Yarros beautifully weaves an emotion-packed story of unrequited love, loss, and commitment. Two interconnected stories come to life seamlessly from the past to the present. One story is unfinished, and the other story might be writing itself in real-time. Is chasing the ultimate happily-ever-after ending just the beginning of new love or a path to certain heartbreak?

What did you do to my heart Rebecca Yarros? That ending! The Things We Leave Unfinished is a romancer lover’s romance! This book is one-click worthy.

Blurb:

Two years after the man she loved was killed in Afghanistan, Morgan Bartley is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. The reno on her dilapidated beach house in the Outer Banks might be just the distraction she needs to keep her debilitating anxiety attacks at bay and begin to heal her heart...if she can ignore the ridiculously handsome guy next door.

At twenty-eight, single-dad Jackson Montgomery’s life revolves around his five-year-old daughter and his job as a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard. He’s no stranger to saving a damsel in distress, and though his gorgeous new neighbor is clearly in distress, she’s no damsel. She’s stubborn as hell with walls a mile thick, and the dog tags hanging from her rearview mirror give him a pretty good clue as to why.

It doesn’t matter that their attraction is undeniable—she swore she’d never fall for another pilot, let alone a military man. There are some wounds time can’t heal, and some fears too consuming to conquer.

She’s a barely breathing heartbreak on the edge of recovery.

He’s a crash waiting to happen.

Together they could have it all...if they can endure the coming storm.

The Reality of Everything (Flight & Glory Book 5)

The Reality of Everything by Rebecca Yarros

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 - 5.0 How did I not read the earlier books in The Flight & Glory series by Rebecca Yarros? After reading The Reality of Everything, I realized I missed out on some great books. This interconnected series of standalones can be enjoyed on its own, without feeling lost.

This story focused on Morgan and her journey to overcome crippling anxiety after the death of her boyfriend. She bought a fixer-upper home on the Outer Banks' beach that required some tender loving care, just like herself. She meets Jackson, her hot neighbor, who is a single dad and works for the Coast Guard's Search and Recuse division. This slow-burning romance turns as hot as a beach fire. Morgan and Jackson face some obstacles that they must deal with, or go their separate ways.

Rebecca Yarros is the real hero here. Her portrayal of Morgan's anxiety and treatment was heartfelt and spot-on. I loved Jackson and Morgan and can't wait to read the other books in The Flight & Glory series.

About the Author:
