Title: Pretty Nightmare (Creeping Beautiful #1)
Author: J.A. Huss
Genre: Psychological Fiction
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel bruised after reading Company novels? I loved James Fenici and Harper Tate and devoured that trilogy, but no other Company book has made me that hungry. Maybe it was because those were my introduction and now I’m like nine books in and it’s all WRONG, DIRTY, BAD–and not in a good or sexy way.

Pretty Nightmare is book two in the Creeping Beautiful series. Indie Anna Accorsi is the pretty nightmare of Core McKay and Adam Boucher, and the eternal mystery of Donovan Couture. Book one was the formative years, and book two is a collection of snapshots and flashbacks of epic events and occasions of importance leading to our ultimate series of reveals. And this time there are some real zingers.

Title: A Love Song for Rebels (Rivals #2)
Author: Piper Lawson
Genre: Contemporary Romance
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I told you last book–I told you!
I said to hold off calling Tyler a book boyfriend because he was still doing his certification courses, and this book is why. Welcome to A Love Song For Rebels, a place where Annie Jamieson and readers go to fall in love with a fully certified Book Boyfriend: Tyler Adams.

ALSFR is book two in a three-book series, so if you haven’t read book one, A Love Song for Liars, you shouldn’t be reading this review. Don’t pass go, don’t collect two-hundred dollars, do one-click book one, and start at the beginning.

Title: Awful Intentions (The Celestials Bodies #2)
Author: Elena Monroe
Genre: Mystery/Fantasy New Adult Romance
Release Date: 22 May 2020

Summary:

NYX

I didn’t know I was so set on truths until I realized my whole life was a lie.

Being banished to Arcadia Prep.

The myths we though were just empty threats meant to iron out bad behavior.

All of it was a neatly packaged lie.

Hell raged in the pit of my stomach and now we were free to wreak havoc on humanity.

LUNA

The truth was simple: I was a good girl meant to heal the wounded and help uphold the truth.

I’m the one who tore the truth down.

I stomped on it and set it on fire.

I did everything that didn’t add up to the me I cultivated.

I was a perfectly packaged lie.

Book Review: Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare

Title: The Wallflower Wager (Girl Meets Duke #3)
Author: Tessa Dare
Genre: Historical Romance
My rating: 5 of 5 Stars

Le sigh.

Tessa Dare is my ultimate book girlfriend. I met her once at an author and reader event and made a real dork of myself fangirling about her books as if she had never read them. I’m reasonably sure I didn’t have to supply the full name to my favorite hero of hers, Colin Sandhurst, but just in case. And now I have another book babe to gush and embarrass myself over should I ever reencounter Miss Dare, Mr. Gabriel Duke; the prickly industrialist who ruins the aristocracy just for the mighty pound sterling.

If you have encountered Tessa Dare in the past, you will know that she loves strong, sassy female characters who have keen minds and unique skills and talents. Penny is only a member of the ton the way a platypus is a duck, by some silly word association and familial rumor. Penny is far more likely to be seen with a platypus than she is in a ballroom.

While one of those is a quick fix, the other requires divine intervention for resolution, only what the Great Organiser delivers is a hot mess, in direct conflict with social norms. Anna isn’t sure if Aaron King is a hawk or a pig, but she wants to be a hawk with him.
