One of my auto buy authors!!

I absolutely love Susan Mallery. I only recently (last couple of years or so) started reading contemporary, and Susan is one of my favorites!! These are the most recent trio in her Fool's Gold series.

God of War

by Rina Kent

This was just - wow- the perfect end to the series. I kept going back and forth for which couple was my favorite, and Ava and Eli win. Hands down. I didn't know how I would feel with the amnesia trope, but it worked. This book reminded m...

Review: Love at First Snow

Love at First Snow by Jami Davenport

**I was provided with this book in exchange for a fair and honest review**

Blake and Sarah have both suffered loss and neither one anticipates a happy Christmas. But when Blake finds a sick kitten and takes it to Sarah's vet practice, things start to heat up pretty quickly.

This novella was heartbreaking and heartwarming throughout. I could feel the emptiness of both Blake and Sarah, as well as the confusion they each felt upon meeting. This was the perfect sweet love story for the holidays and I am totally bummed I discovered it a couple of weeks too late!

Review: Earls Just Want To Have Fun

Earls Just Want to Have Fun by Shana Galen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In typical Shana Galen fashion, here was a fast paced, well written story with characters that you can't help but fall in love with. But one of the things that I enjoyed most about this story was that both characters were fish out of water. Sure, Marlowe was the main one who was often out of place, but for once, the male lead wasn't some alpha male who could handle any and all situations put in front of him- not that I mind those either, but I digress. Instead, Dane plays out as a man who is comfortable, is resistant to change, and questions himself when he is forced to see things differently. Marlowe was perfect for him because she was the decisive one. It was a nice change from the norm and I highly recommend this to anyone who may want a bit of something different in their historical romance.

Review: Dark Debt

Dark Debt by Chloe Neill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of the Chicagoland Vampires series and Dark Debt just added to the reasons why. I enjoy the relationships- whether Merit and Ethan, Merit and Mallory, or any of the other combinations of people/vampires in the series. The action is fast-paced, which I appreciate because if story doesn't pull me in pretty quickly, I move on. I also appreciate that everything is told in a straightforward manner- nothing kills a story like having to go back and re-read for a missed detail. I know that some may consider the series fairly formulaic, and I can see where that may be a problem. But within the formula, so much is still unpredictable and that is what makes me want to continue reading.
