Idolizing In: The Fine Art of Pretending Series, Book 2
- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Paperback - Pages: 255; Kindle Edition - File Size: 1994 KB | Expected Release Date: April 5, 2016 | Publisher: Spencer Hill Press : Contemporary | Obtained: NetGalley"The Natural History of Us" [The Fine Art of Pretending Series, Book 2] by Rachel Harris
Author's Book Description : One class assignment. One second chance at love. The school player is all in. Now he needs to win back the sweet commitment girl who’s forever owned his heart.
Justin Carter has a secret. He’s not the total player Fairfield Academy believes him to be. Not really. In fact, he used to be a one-woman guy…and his feelings for her never went away. Too bad he broke her heart three years ago and made sure to ruin any chance she’d ever forgive him.
Peyton Williams is a liar. She pretends to be whole, counting down the days until graduation and helping her parents at the family ranch. But the truth is, she’s done everything she can to get over Justin, and salvation is just around the corner. With graduation one short month away, she’ll soon break free from the painful memories and start her life fresh. Of course, she has to get through working with him on one last assignment first.
For Justin, nothing ever felt as right as being with Peyton, and now that fate’s given him a shot at redemption, he’s determined to make the most of it. And for Peyton…well, Justin Carter has always been her kryptonite.
My Book Review : 5 out of 5 stars!! It had always been Peyton’s plan to attend Fairfield Academy (instead of being homeschooled) once she reached her Freshman year of high school. However, coming down with an unexpected illness not long before she began the school year definitely was not in her plan. Therefore, she begins at Fairfield Academy once she is in recovery during the middle of her Freshman year, which is the same day she meets Justin (all-round Fairfield Academy hottie, player, and baseball player). They come from completely different worlds but they are drawn together and fall into a sort-of relationship quickly. Yet, when things get tough, Justin makes a plan to brake them up. Yet, though Justin’s plan works and he goes back to his player ways, he regrets it more than anything else. So, during the last month, or so, of their Senior year when Peyton and Justin get thrown together for a school project Justin plans on laying it all on the line to win Peyton back for good. But will he be too late?This touching sweet YA romance, will leave you reeling one moment and then contentedly rooting for Justin and Peyton the next. Unexpectedly charming. There was no point when I hated either Justin or Peyton, they were such good characters, and their backstories made me feel for both of them. The depth of this novel intrigued me so much I had a tough time putting it down.
Justin and Peyton’s attraction, instant connection, and camaraderie were what won me over. Then adding in Peyton’s attitude towards Justin when their project begins gave the novel an entertaining twist that gets the reader immersed in their “relationship” from the beginning. They may look like opposites, because of their family backgrounds and where they live, but at the core of who they are, they seem to have a lot of similarities. It made me happy to see them coming together after so long being apart. Especially since, once they start to working out their issues between themselves they help each another to overcome the fears that have been holding them back from their desires and each other, which all creates a great ending.
I HIGHLY recommend this novel to those looking for a compassionate YA romance!

"The Dragon’s Appraiser" [Taming the Alpha Anthology, Novella 1] & [The Dragon’s Appraiser (Three Part Story), Part One] by Viola RivardAuthor's Story Description : What can she offer the dragon who could have anything?
Left at the mercy of a dragon god, Madja must use her encyclopedic knowledge of ancient artifacts to charm him into sparing her life.
She will change everything…
Enchanted by the human’s stories, the world-weary dragon discovers a whole new depth to existence.
This is the first novella in an ongoing story.
It contains mature content and is unsuitable for readers under the age of 18.
My Story Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars. Stolen in the middle of the night and left inside dragon “god” Sevrrn's lair as a tribute, Madja's life has just changed for good. Madja never believed Sevrrn was real until he finds her sorting through his riches and tells her she is his now. As they grow into a “companionable” existence together, Madja can't decide if her life has gotten better or worse, since Sevrrn says he will find a way to make that certain she will never die but she will not ever leave him. Though one thing is for sure, it will definitely be an interesting ride...
In truth, while I didn't find this novella romantic I liked reading about Sevrrn and Madja's growing relationship quite a bit. As through Madja's “knowledge,” Sevrrn learns more about his “human” half, which is intriguing all by itself. Add in their sexual interest in one another and it makes for an entertaining read.

The 'generally' gave her pause.
Sevrrn went on to say, "Most of them are more bone than meat. I vastly prefer cows. You are fortunate to not be a cow, otherwise I would have most devoured you."
She offered him a weak smile. "Well, you wouldn't happen to have any beef lying around here that I could eat, would you? This is an awfully big pile of treasure. I'll probably starve before I appraise everything."
Sevrrn appeared pensive and then finally nodded. "It is important that you not die."
Thank the gods that we're both in agreement on that. ~ within Chapter 4
"Taking on Tory" [Taming the Alpha Anthology, Novella 2] & [Magic, New Mexico Series, Book 2] by S. E. SmithAuthor's Story Description : Twenty-four year old Tory Carson is dying to get out of Magic, New Mexico and explore the world. She has spent her whole life cocooned in the protection of the close-knit community. When she finally gets a chance to go somewhere for three weeks, she would be crazy to say no. Even if, her father is screaming it!
Simon Drayton is a reclusive billionaire who has reinvented himself over and over again through the centuries. He has temporarily settled his headquarters in the beautiful city of Charleston, South Carolina.
He is used to taking what he wants. He has learned that wealth and power are potent motivators for those who are greedy. Confusion reigns when he sets his sights on a beautiful, young female who is oblivious to his power. After centuries of getting what he wants, he is shocked, and just a little bit fascinated, when he discovers that not all things are for sale.
Things heat up when the irritating, young ‘human’ woman refuses to play the game by his rules. She isn’t impressed with his wealth. She isn’t impressed with his looks. In fact, she acts like she isn’t impressed by anything he does, even when he flashes his teeth!
Find out what happens when a centuries old Werewolf discovers he isn’t the only creature who loves to bite.
My Story Review : 5 out of 5 stars! Wanting to finally spread her "wings," Tory's older brother allows her to accompany him on a trip to Charleston, South Carolina and unintentionally finds her mate.
This fast-paced paranormal romantic comedy keeps you entertained the whole way through! Tory and Simon's whirlwind romance was fun to read, especially as they go about learning each other. Then even though I found the ending to be a little abrupt, it helped that this novel has a full cast of enjoyable characters that keep you wanting to read more. I HIGHLY recommend this one!

"Broken Communication" [Taming the Alpha Anthology, Novella 3], [Immortal Outcasts Series, Book 1], & [Immortal Ops Series World] by Mandy M. Roth (aka Reagan Hawk, Kennedy Kovit, Rory Michaels, & Elle Spencer)Author's Story Description : NY Times & USA Today Bestseller!
Genetically altered into a super soldier who can shift into a wolf, Casey Black should have been the perfect asset—but that wasn’t to be. The scientists who conducted DNA splicing experiments on him put a little too much wolf in his cocktail. Considered a danger to society and a risk to the survival of the secret project, the government tried to eliminate him. The former Immortal Operative has spent the majority of his life on the run and off the grid from the very government who’d helped him be ‘all he could be’. When the sassy, headstrong woman who makes his body burn with need vanishes, he realizes it’s not his head, but rather his heart that is broken. And he’ll do whatever is called for to mend it.
My Story Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. I found this novella hard to read through. Not that the plot wasn't good or anything like that, but I found the scenes in the beginning that were just of Casey to be very slow and it just didn't capture my interest as I had hoped it would.

"Determined Prince" [Taming the Alpha Anthology, Novella 4] & [Captured by a Dragon-Shifter Series, Book 1] by Michelle M. Pillow (aka Madelyn Porter, Naomi Kalling, & Natasha Logan)Author's Story Description : A Dragon Lords Romance
Dragonshifter Prince Kyran has studied the Earth people and is ready to assimilate. Female shifters are all but going extinct on his planet of Qurilixen, and his people are desperate for mates—so much so they’re taking matters into their own hands. What better place to capture a woman than Earth? After all, dragonshifters had come from there centuries ago. Surely a human female would be honored to be selected by one as fine and fierce as himself?
While on Earth, Kyran stumbles upon the most beautiful woman he’s ever imagined, singing something the natives call rock ’n’ roll. His blood simmers and he knows Eve is the one for him. But taming this feisty female is going to take much more than his training prepared him for.
Author's Series Description : Captured by a Dragon-Shifter is a modern day prequel series installment to those first books. They take place long before the princes you know and love ever found their mates, long before "The Dragon’s Queen," in a time when the dragonshifters and catshifters actually—wait for it—liked each other and hung out as friends. They also don’t have Galaxy Brides to bring them women. What they do have is the old portal that they used to escape Earth. There’s no one left to marry on the planet and things are starting to get desperate.
Rating: Contains graphic sexual content, adult language, and violence.
My Story Review : DNF. I wanted to like this novel, I really did but I just couldn't deal with how it flows. One minute you’re made to believe that they weren't just going to capture their brides, and the next (because of miscommunications) that is exactly what they were doing. Plus, I never had a moment where I could say, "I liked this character," as both Kyran and Eve were a little too self-absorbed. Therefore, once I got to about 50% of the way through I gave up on this one.

"No Gentleman," telling the back story of Jean and Hattie from Cora’s Choice and Cora’s Bond.
My Story Review : 4 out of 5 stars! A young lady who pushes the boundaries of propriety becomes enchanted to a man, who isn't what he seems.

My Story Review : 4 out of 5 stars! This intense novella is about two people meeting up again after their previous encounter pulled them apart.
I thoroughly enjoyed the buildup of this novel. It’s intense, charming, and pretty captivating as you reading about Kim & Lucas' growing relationship. I liked their whirlwind romance!

"Cougar’s First Christmas" [Taming the Alpha Anthology, Novella 8] & [Cascade Shifters Series, Book 1.5] by Jessie DonovanAuthor's Story Description : Willing to chance arrest and jail time, cougar-shifter Sean Fisher wants to make human Lauren Spencer his mate and Christmas is the perfect time to do it. However, on the way to obtain her parents’ approval, a car runs them off the road. When Sean wakes up, he’s tied up and alone, at the mercy of an anti-shifter group.
Six months ago, Lauren never would’ve pictured herself with a cougar-shifter, but Sean was everything she hoped for and was willing to risk it all to be his mate. Yet when a staged car crash tears him from her side, Lauren must reach out to his clan–a clan she’s never met–for help before it’s too late.
Can Lauren and Sean be together for Christmas? Or, will their differences be too much to overcome and rip them apart?
My Story Review : 5 out of 5 stars!! After six months of being together Sean wants to officially claim Lauren as his mate and propose to her, even if that means going against the laws and figuratively putting targets on their back for the purist groups to attack them...
Sean and Lauren's connection is palpable in a way that make the reader want to read more about them! Both are feisty which made reading about what they go through to protect one another, and their relationship, an enjoyable experience. It definitely got me interested in this series! In addition, it also reminded me a bit of Ms. Ashley’s Shifters Unbound Series with the way the world knows about shifters, most don’t like them, and there are laws against them.

Kansas has loved Tobias for years. They shared one memorable kiss two years ago before he walked away. Now he’s back, and this time she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make him admit his feelings for her.
My Story Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars! An intensely driving novella about a man coming home after being away for quite some time, trying to get over the disturbing experiences that recently happened in his life, and reuniting with the one woman he could never get over.
In truth the story description made me not interested in this novella, but because I'm a fan of Ms. Walters I gave it a try and I'm so happy I did! Kansas and Tobias are a great match up! Reading about them reunite was very heartening and I could not get enough. I just wish there was an epilogue so I could see where they went from here.

An alien race took the man she loved away from her, but her revenge is at hand. Aeron has rebuilt Brad into a living, breathing killing machine she hopes will save the outer quadrants from a mass Vanos invasion.

"The Bet" [Taming the Alpha Anthology, Novella 24] & [Blazing Hearts Series, Book 1] by Kennedy Kovit (aka Mandy M. Roth, Reagan Hawk, Rory Michaels, & Elle Spencer)Author's Story Description : M/F Contemporary Western Erotic Romance
Tyson is a man with a dark past and he isn’t much on wagers. But when his best friend bets him that he can’t romance the pants off their boss’s daughter, he can’t resist. See, he’s had the hots for Ms. Lexie Garnes for years, but she was too young to act on it. Now that she’s a college graduate, and more than legal, he’s all in. Tyson can’t hide his feelings for Lexie any longer. With a bet on the table, he has no choice but to man up and find a way for her to accept him and his kinky bedroom tastes.
Lexie is glad to be back down south. Her time away did her good but made her miss home. Middlefield may lack excitement, but it has something Boston never did—Tyson Morrows. Her father’s ranch foreman is sexier than ever and suddenly seems to have eyes for her. Is this too good to be true? Will his commanding hands in the bedroom prove to be too much for her and what will happen when she learns he only made his move because of a bet?
Rating: This novella contains steamy sex scenes, a hero who is all about getting the heroine into bed and teaching her things good girls just shouldn’t know, and a couple who has had feelings for one another a whole hell of a lot longer than they’re willing to admit. This novella isn’t for everyone, and if you don’t like your sex dirty, your men alpha, and your women willing to learn, then this isn’t the book for you.
