DNF. For this bundle read I DNF’d at about 50% within The Last Fey (book 2). I found The Last Year (book 1) an interesting read and was intrigued to see where the plot would go within book 2. However, it was because of the plot that I didn’t enjoy this novel more in book 2. Plus, Avery (the main lead) really had poor decision making and it just kept getting worse as book 2 continued.

3 out of 5 stars for The Last Year (book 1), I liked it enough to continue reading to The Last Fey (book 2). I can’t recommend this book bundle/series as I didn’t enjoy it’s plot. But if you pick it up, I hope you’ll enjoy it more than I did.

5 out of 5 stars! When I picked up this novel, I wasn’t sure what to expect but by the end of this novel I was enamored with it. However, you should be aware that it has the potential to be very triggering so read the author’s trigger warning list. Yet – if you can read this book without issues – I think you’ll love it as much as I did.

DNF. This is a novel that I was intrigued about for a while, so I was happy to finally pick it up and get into it. I was aware going in that the main lead female was pregnant, and her husbands/alphas had recently died. What I wasn’t aware of was how emotional this novel would make me throughout the plot. Also, from the prologue I was crying, bawling ... it wasn’t pretty. Thankfully I enjoyed most of the characters. Yet, because of how decent the plot was I kept reading up until I was about 91% into reading this novel and I ended up DNFing it. I wanted more and I didn’t like how the plot for the main lead's new relationships were at the end. For more of an honest review check out my video review. I only recommend this book to those who want a new take on an omegaverse romance and who already like Ms. Moore’s writing.

3.5 out of 5 stars. I have read similar books like this novel’s description by Ms. Cole before and have really enjoyed them, so when I saw this novel, I had high hopes. And for 80% of this novel my hopes for this novel’s plot were satisfied. However, it’s the novel’s ending that ruined it for me, as the ending is rushed and abrupt. I don’t think its ending did this novel justice. Yet for the rest of this novel, I enjoyed its setup and characters. I also liked how this was a unique take on the “surprise child” plotline. I do recommend it to those who like erotic contemporary sports romances that deal with a “surprise child” plot and to those who are fans of Ms. Cole already. This novel just didn’t give me what I was hoping for, and to hear more of my thoughts on this novel watch my full video review.

5 out of 5 stars. This book had been on my TBR for a while, even though I hadn’t read book 1 or book 2 within its series. Thankfully as it is a standalone within its series, I didn’t get lost and I instantly got hooked/captivated by the world this novel is set in, along with its characters. Sol and her men charmed me. I loved reading their story as the plot was EVERYTHING, it brought this longtime friend group together no matter how much other people wanted them to stay apart. I hated every person who had it out for Sol and I celebrated everything that happened for its ending. I wish there was more to read. I DEFINTITELY recommend this novel to those who enjoy unique plots when it comes to omegaverse romances. To hear more of my thoughts on this novel watch my full video review.

DNF. I got interested in this novel because it reminded me of Vivian Arend’s werewolf series, so I had high hopes for it. However, even though it reminded me a bit of a Cinderella-esque tale I couldn’t get behind the main lead characters. I wasn’t a fan of the guy, and the woman wasn’t a strong counterpart to hold her own against him. Therefore, by Chapter 5, I DNFd. Nevertheless, I still recommend this book. YES, I recommend it. That may seem strange, but I think it could be for those who want a werewolf romance, this one just didn’t end up for me. To hear more of my thoughts on this novel watch my full video review.

Review: Nobody's Darlin'

Nobody's Darlin' Nobody's Darlin' by Sarah Blue
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

DNF. I chose to read this novel because it featured an omegaverse romance with a stepbrother twist. However, I ultimately decided to stop reading it because I don't enjoy the motorcycle club trope. Despite knowing it was an MC novel from the beginning, I couldn't engage with the plot after the first few chapters, even though I liked the main characters. I hope you have a better experience with this novel than I did!
