This was a really great read, with an adorable H/h pair.  I spent my time hoping that things would work out and that the pair would find their HEA.

I really enjoyed this book.  While it is not necessary to read the previous "John Dies at the End," I'm glad I did, and recommend that one before you read this one (but don't hesitate to read this one!)

I loved the world-building in this one, and the characters were fun too. Haven't read many with a dragon as the hero. It was very easy to get into and kept my attention throughout.

I can't say there was a lot of mystery as to what was going to happen (but then I don't expect a whole lot of surprises when I read romance). I had a fun time following along. I was surprised by what Pia ended up being - so kudos there. It makes sense as I look back on it, but I was surprised at the time.

I did love the interactions between Pia and Dragos - quality banter is a must and Harrison delivers.

I wish there had been more of a confrontation between the hero and the villain, but it didn't detract too much.

If you do not like very possessive alpha males, you will not like this book. However, if that floats your boat you will be very, very happy.

I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.

There may be some spoilers, but I'll try not to. Really.

I wasn't sure how much I would like this one, but it was more fantasy oriented than sci-fi (which I don't mind, but sometimes have a harder time getting into). I liked the story, although I do tend to get frustrated with heroines who don't just tell the truth, which leads to further problems--although I know that spoils all the fun in the end and would make life far too easy. Does that count as a spoiler? I liked Titus and Azhura, as well as the other friends Titus has at the palace; Marcus, Galerius, and Vallo. I loved the airships! I liked that Titus' mother liked Azhura right from the start, so there was no catty in-law stuff.

One thing I really did like was despite the fact that the truth wasn't revealed, the men really did actually think about the circumstances regarding her presence, the reputation of the Rabbit, and the fact that no harm had come to Titus in two weeks (the opposite, in fact), and they used their brains instead of jumping to conclusions--you can't blame them for doing that right away, but it didn't drag out forever, and I think that was really well done.

There's definitely a lot of romance--fans won't be disappointed, and I liked their mutual seductions, and Titus' restraint. All in all an enjoyable and exciting read!

Really enjoyed this one. It has humor and the heat I love. Saint is great hero material, makes me wish I could find a man like him. Cameron is trying to make her dreams come true, but road blocks are starting to pop up on her. Something is up with Mayor Judy and all hell breaks lose. The Hell's Belles are starting to drift into different paths. Cameron is dealing with a lot and then add on her attraction to Saint. She wants to give it the green light to go after him, but once again life likes throwing a wrench into her plans. Can Saint convince her to give them a chance> Or is she too stubborn to take a chance on love?

I really enjoyed this one. Wasn't quite what I'm used to reading and it was a welcome break from the monotony.

I can relate to Abi so much it's scary. Maybe everyone with older sisters feels this way? It certainly made me feel better about our relationships.

It was quite sad to have reached the ending. I felt like there must be more to the story, I hope there's a follow up book in my future.

For someone who is not a big Fantasy fan, I really enjoyed this one. Me reading a book like this is rare. But Minstrels Serenade really caught my attention so I decided to get out of my comfort zone for this one. Though I had some problems along the way, overall, I was really not disappointed and

Dionnes world building in this novel is superb. I feel like I was just with the characters through out the novel.  Her characters are brilliant as well. Danika is a smart and intellectual heroine and I love how she acts and thinks. The way she responds to the situations that is happening in her kingdom and in her heart are just right but at the same time, shes also flawed. Which makes her a good character and a good queen.

One thing that really stood up for me in this novel is that.. its never predictable. I keep turning the pages AND guessing whats going to happen next.

The love interest needs a little more work, in my opinion. I just don't like when guy is not that open ti his feelings. Or when hes saying something BUT it feels NOT genuine.

There was a love triangle and I REALLY ENJOYED it. I know, what a surprise. Maybe it has something to do with a fact that the guy that I was rooting for gets the girl! Yes, even though I don't feel his genuineness sometimes, I still rooted for him.

Overall, Minstrels Serenade is a good start in a series. I enjoyed it and I feel like I really experienced it.

I got this book as soon as it came out, but am a little late to get my review written, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one! It's lighthearted without being too simple.

The lead character, Octavia, starts on a journey that turns out isn't what she was told as someone else in manipulating her path in life. It takes a great deal of fortitude to figure out where she's needs to be as opposed to where she's being sent, and I suspect that in the next book, we'll see more of her taking control of her path instead of spending time trying to figure out who's manipulating her steps. (It's really hard to say much without spoilers!)

Really enjoyed this one. Interesting characters and pretty thoughtful. Lagged a bit near the end but enjoyable in spite of that. I will read the next one in this series.

4-4.5 stars

I enjoyed this one. The idea of a female trying out for something that had traditionally been all male (because it's tough and highly competitive) really appealed to me.

Reece was a strong and independent heroine, made that way by past experiences, and I enjoyed her character. As someone who has trouble asking for help herself, I understood how she got herself in the predicament she did later in the story.

Laird was a little harder sell for me, as he was kind of wrapped up in his insta-lust for Reece, but once I got his backstory I understood why once there was this connection, he reached for it with both hands and was determined to hold on...yet he wasn't quite as attentive as I would have expected.

The connection between them was intense and electric and was definitely a highlight. Their interactions with the kids in the hospital were precious and were a nice tough for the storyline. I'm a sucker for college and new adult romance and I married a band nerd, so I was all in with this read.

I'm a sucker of friends to lovers' story. So it is clear that I really enjoyed this one! Not only was it good to revisit Drew and Avery (since Ryan and Bri's story, I was wondering about those two), but there story was truly sweet and captivating.
