I absolutely LOVED this book. Read it in one day.  I loved that Nat was so real. It was the most honest book I have ever read. Great book for Mothers and wives to read because she expresses all those thoughts we have from time to time but don't want to admit it. The love story was so real yet a fairy tale all in one. I also loved the style in which the story was told. I'm not usually a fan of flashbacks but it created a lot of suspense in the story which kept me up until 2am. It is a must have for sure!

All I ever want to do is be able to help out the authors by writing up reviews and by sharing the word about them, they do such an amazing job by creating all these stories. After reading it I seriously loved it. There has only been one other book that has been able to completely thrown me off guard and made me literally shout out load when reading, but the fact that this book has managed to do it too honestly amazes me, this is the first book that I have read by J.A. Essen but I can tell you now that this won't be the last of his, and I strongly recommend that you give this book a try. I don't mind reading books that have vampires or different races of humans but this book stood out to me, more than I can imagine.

From what seemed like a normal simple royal life turned out to be quite different to what you would expect, Edana had everything that she could wish for but just after her 15th birthday things changed for good in ways which she didn't expect them too. I honestly felt for Edana, she had a loving family or so she thought and it was also discovered that because she was a druid she had her own powers. However I found her to be such a strong character all through the book, and I don't know how I would have coped if I had been through what she goes through during this book. I am seriously glad that I had no idea what I would be expecting going into this book, but it shows you that even without knowing its contents that it can be a pretty surprising book. So please grab your copy as its honestly that good.

I usually try to give a few good paragraphs on my review and insights to what I just read.
I am kind of left speechless with this book. And in a good way. WOWZAS Hot tamale. I mean this book was smoking. The scenes. I really just don't know how I can sum up how fabulous this book was, so Im going to describe it the best I can.
This book was fascinating. I was truly stunned while reading this. The connection the characters feel is undoubtedly electrically charged. <<Does that even make sense? Haha well it does to me. Because the chemistry was off the charts. Like phosphorus + oxygen when combined, Potassium Chlorate + Sulfur, well you get my drift. They were explosive!!!! The writing style was superb. The author really nailed this book straight on. I seriously cant wait to read Ruthless. YES, I recommend freaking one clicking this straight away!!!

Ohmigosh! I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this book was! Firstly, it takes place some years after the first book, and is told in a different perspective than the first book, but you do need to read the first book to know what you are dealing with.

Kevin Pierce is the younger half-brother of Nick, whom was a supposed threat in the last book, but we eventually learn his reasons why he was doing such things. Kevin can tele-port people and objects. But too many at once can be a strain on his energy.

I really LVE how Kevin is with his nephew. He might say he is trying to help the kid "man up", but he is baby-talking him just as much as everyone else. 

Kevin is best friends with Ryan (she's a girl *WINKS*) and they make the best team in the Luminaries. But when the force in compromised, things get extremely interesting.

I devoured this book. Literally ate it right up. Read it too quickly, but so glad that I have it and can go back again. That ending. Not the ending alone, but certain scenes leading up to that ending. I have so many unanswered questions, but at the same time I am coming up with plausible scenarios on my own. I shared this book with one of my brothers, to a minimum because of the NA content. Kevin's cocky behavior reminds me of him and when I told my brother about it, he asked me to prove it. I did prove it and he was just as much hooked as I am.

This book... oh my goodness, how to even describe it? It was unbelievably amazing! I fell in love with Erin, wished I could be Skylar, and longed for a man like Griffin. I laughed and cried with them.
I highly suggest you don't read this in public because it gets a little awkward when you start crying at work (trust me). I was hooked from the very first page, and barely managed to put it down to eat!
The only thing that bothered me was the lack of explanation about Piper... Until I realized that this is part of a series and that Piper's book is next. I did read this book without knowing that it is the second in the series, and Piper was the only part that I felt lost about (so reading this one without having read Purple Orchids first doesn't leave you super confused).

i received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I'm Crying, I'm Speechless, and my brain is Mush. This book totally blew me away. I really didn't know what to expect but when I read the preview I knew it sounded like something I would like and HOLY CRAP! Savannah is a beautiful sassy little spitfire who gets kidnapped not knowing by who, why or what for. While held captive she is mentally and physically abused and after she gets beaten so bad she knows she can't take anymore, this group of men come crashing in and takes her away leaving her even more confused . Cole Logan is the leader of this group. He's this strong, seemingly kind, caring, gorgeous badass alpha. Him and all his men fall instantly in love with Savannah. At times her character had me cracking up. Wow can she dish it out when she wants to. Lol! At times I was crying the ugly cry. The suspense get so intense it made me feel like I was one of the characters in the story and I couldn't put this book down. By the time it was coming to an end I felt like I was losing someone close to me. This story was like watching a movie instead of reading a book. It's so exciting when a book can invoke such deep feelings and emotions in you and this one most definitely does. I have fallen in love with these characters. All of them not just the H/h.  I EXTREMELY recommend this book to everyone!!!  I can't wait to get to book 2.

I absolutely loved this book! This is the first book I've read by Mandy Lou Dowson, and it will certainly not be my last now that I've found her.  At times I wanted to jump out of my skin I was so frustrated for Logan and Sophie.  I mean how much angst could a couple destined to be with each other, possibly withstand?  It was so well worth the ride, Mandy Lou nailed this one way out of the park.  It was such an amazing story, all the obstacles that were in this couple's way, but most of all they stood in their own way.  So perfectly done and the ending was fantastic.  My only complaint?  I wanted more, an epilogue or something, just to have a quick glimpse into their happily ever after, but I'm greedy that way.  You will not regret spending any time with Logan and Sophie, sigh, so, so very good!

Holy Moses alright I have to admit that I really had no idea what this book was really about. I really got this book because man oh man that cover is gorgeous, and the naked book just divine it's gold who knew?  I knew it had to do with a magical competition. I did not know that the magic in the game was going to be so beautiful I thought they were going to have wands. Idk why? HP flashbacks lol. But I got over that really quickly and man oh man that scenery was beautiful I could close my eyes and see what the characters (Vika and Nikolai) could see. I also did not see where this book was going to end total whip lash. In a very very good way. An can I just say that Nikolai was really swoon worthy jesus. There were a lot of events that led to the end of this book but the death part was a little gut wrenching. An what the heck how could that happen to Pasha he's so sweet. sad moment but it helped us see who his father was before he got a little older and a little wiser. An that smack in the face when you realize who that mysterious god awful person is. How could you do that to us Evelyn that was so mean. But it gave us that final kick in the gut before you totally destroyed us with that ending. I almost cried. Ugh now we wait for a second book I didn't say patiently I just said wait. So much could potentially happen it's insane.

Wow!  I'm totally blown away by how incredibly amazing this book was!  I am not embarrassed to admit that I was ugly crying while reading this.  I highlighted more in this book than any other book I've read.  This book took me back to high school - to the things I hated so much about being a teenager, to things I regret and the things I wish I did differently.  I understood Ryen more than I want to admit.  I adored Misha, he was a wonderful character.  I loved this book so much!  It's a top pick of 2016 and I can't wait to re-read it!

Holy Crap I could NOT put this book down.
Thanks to Angie's Dreamy Reads's amazing review I knew I had to read this and am so very, very glad I did.
Remington is heartbreaking, Brooke is a strong female lead, and the issues that are mentioned are done so in an informative and positive way.
Thank you Angie's Dreamy Reads's for the review that made me want to read this, and a Remy Sized thank you to Katy Evans for writing this amazing story!
~*~*~*~ About The Playlist ~*~*~*~
This is the first time ever I have been even slightly inclined to listen to an author's playlist while reading. It was a beautiful mix of music and totally helped engage you even deeper into the emotions of the characters. It also helped that the playlist was included at the beginning of the book.

Amazing book! This book had me from the first paragraph and when it twisted into what i couldn't have expected was the better! The emotions and passion in this book are unbelievable and extremely mind blowing! I read this book from start to finish I was hooked and i just couldn't stop! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series of Resist Me! I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it is mind blowing and a must read! I received this book free for reviewing!

This book was absolutely AMAZING!!! This has got to be my favorite Jay McLean book (so far) and one of my favorite books ever!! This book made me feel so much that my eyes couldn't help but leak at times. One of the main reasons I loved this book so much and what drew me into it was the main character was a single dad. Those are my favorite kind of books. Seeing the relationship between him and his son melted my heart to a pile of mush. With how this book ended is making me crave the next book to find out what happens.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD THIS BOOK WAS !  I haven't looked at the other reviews because to tell you the truth I fell in love with this series from the first book.  But this one ...OMG it was the best book.  I seriously am crazy excited about the next one coming out.  I have totally fallen in love with all of these characters and the stories that have come out of the authors pages.  I wish there were more stars or something.  the ending could not have been any more powerful... I am not kidding, if you want to read something to bring out emotions ... you will love these books.

How could I let this book sit so long on my bookshelf? Honestly! This book was soooo good. I don't even know where to begin. Bryn was an amazing character that grew and changed, or adapted as the book went on. I love Chase! He is just a well thought out character. The love that builds between them is so captivating it is hard not to love this book. Anticipating, cant hardly wait for the next book in the series!

Oh my heavens...I can not even put in words how amazing this book was..Theresa Marguerite Hewitt did an amazing job with this one. The story line was amazing. I instantly fell in love with the characters! It had me hooked from the very first page. I didn't want to put it down so I ended up reading it all in one setting...yeah it was that good! It had me on the edge of the seat waiting for what was going to happen next. I was lucky enough to get this book free, but would have been fine paying for this book! This is a must read book and I highly recomend it!

A Brush of Darkness is the first book in a new urban fantasy that is almost beyond words for me. The book was so fantastic that my head is still spinning with everything that transpired.

I am not really sure what I expected from this book, but everything about this story took me by surprise. Especially at the end of the book when I was an emotional mess, I was close to tears and did not see that response coming at all. When I am that invested in a story I can usually see it coming ahead of time, but A Brush of Darkness had my heart tied up in knots and knocked me off my feet. In a completely good way though, I would not change a second of how the story went, it just makes me want the next book that much more.

I loved how our heroine was so completely human, it made it so easy to relate to her. She comes with a past and has some serious issues to work through, but that is what made it so fun to watch her. It also made it that much harder for Brystion to try and tear down those barriers. The two of them had some great chemistry and I am already rooting for this relationship, even though I fear it may be doomed. They are both lost in one way or another and stumbling through life, I think if they helped each other out, they would be much happier. Only time will tell though with this, so I will have to wait for future books to see.

The best character in this story though is definitely Phineas, a miniature unicorn who is freaking hysterical! I was laughing out loud at many points during the book all thanks to him, my husband looked at me like I was crazy when I tried to explain like so:

Me: "You see it's this miniature unicorn that lives in her underwear drawer"

*Insert husband looking at me like I have two heads*

Me: "He is he so funny, he just started talking and curses, a lot."

Husband: "What kinds of books do you read?"

Me: "Good ones" :)

I swear, if you read the book you will know exactly what I am talking about and Phineas will have you in stitches too.

Overall I am beyond hooked on this series, I cannot even put into words how much I loved it. A Brush of Darkness is a magically unique world filled with captivating mythology, out of this world passion and mysterious plot twits that will leave you begging for more. My only complaint is I don't have the next book in my hands right now! Not really a good complaint though is it? Alright, well if you have not discovered this book yet, you really need to.
