Forever Royal {Book Review}

 

Title: Forever Royal 

Series: The Knights of Echo Cove #4

Author: Lily Wildhart 

Genre: Reverse Harem, Young Adult 

Book Description:

The thing about making a deal with the devil, is you never see the fine print.

I thought this was the best way to save them. The four men that keep me grounded, rooted to the core of my history, my legacy, and I’ll save them no matter the cost.

Truths uncovered lead to more secrets, more lies, more pain, and the tangled web of Echoes Cove has me trapped tighter in its bindings.

The monsters of this world have no idea how far I’m willing to go. How hard I’m willing to fight.

One thing is for sure, they have all underestimated me. Soon they will see my truth, and I’ll be the one with the crown.

 My Review: 

     So I'm going to try not to be a Debbie Downer this whole review. But I have to admit I'm glad this series has come to an end. 

     So I had High hopes for this series after book 1. And I have No issues with Secret Society type books. What I do have issues with is Secret Society's with High School aged kids, it's just Not believable to me. 

     Yes I read to escape but I need my books to have a certain amount of believability in them. 

     Honestly maybe it was Octavia, she lost my interest in book two when she became a bit whiney to me. And I just never warmed back up to her.

    I did enjoy the guy's throughout the entire series though.

    I know it may seem like I'm complaining through this whole review. I'm not trying to. I did enjoy most of this series. But like I said I'm glad it has come to an end at the same time. I did enjoy this authors writing and will continue to read whatever comes next.

   I'm giving this book 4 Stars out of 5!!!

The Never King {Book Review}

 

Title: The Never King 

Series: Vicious Lost Boys #1

Author: Nikki St. Crowe

Genre: Paranormal, Fantasy, Reverse Harem 

Book Description:

The stories were all wrong — Hook was never the villain.

For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken.

Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked.

But it’s pointless.

Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

NOTE: The Never King is a reimagining of Peter and Wendy. Characters have been aged up for this darker, grittier version. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy The Never King and the Lost Boys. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes. Book one ends on a cliff.

My Review:

Ahhhhhh.... OMG.... I mean OMG this book....

So Mrs. Crowe, is a New to "Me" author so I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. But I will say that ever since I saw that this book was coming I knew, I knew that I needed to read this book. I love anything Peter Pan related. 

This is just SOOOOO much better though. This is Not your typical retelling of Peter Pan. These are not your sweet innocent lost boy's & their childish leader. This is a Dark Retelling, with Men that obviously have dark secrets. I've seen people comparing them to Villains, but I wouldn't really say their villainous.

Let's start with Winnie.... Winnie Darling.... Winnie comes from a Long Line of Darling women who are taken by Peter Pan on their 18th birthday for a certain amount of time, some for longer than others. One thing is for certain though these Darling women don't seem to come home the same. Merry Darling, who is Winnie's mother, came back as Winnie says crazy, so Winnie has Never believed in the story her mother has told her. I have to say that I really enjoyed Winnie's character, I liked that she wasn't a pushover. I thought she was very likeable and relatable. 

Let's get to the Men, because they are obviously Not Lost Little Boys. I think you'll be surprised to find out that as of right now Peter Pan is Not my favorite. I feel like we didn't get enough of Peter Pan in this book until about 3/4ths of the way through the book. I'm hoping that in the 2nd book we get more of him and maybe my mind will change on him.

As of right now Bash is my favorite, than Vane, Peter, and Kash.

I was hooked on this book from the first paragraph to the last. I think the Only thing that annoyed me was the overuse of  "Darling" Peter and the other guy's call Winnie, "Darling" all the time. I'm not sure if that's because they have just dealt with so many generations of Darling women, and don't care to remember their names or if they think it's a cute little pet name for them. I think they honestly called Winnie her name maybe twice and the rest of the time it was Darling, so yeah that got a bit annoying for me. But other than that I absolutely loved this book.

I'm giving this book 4.5 Stars out of 5 and can't wait for book 2!!!

Author: Vikki Jay

Genre: Small Town Romantic Suspense

Release Date: February 25, 2022

BLURB

Zander.

My fiancé, CEO of our company, is offering me everything on a silver plate – family, love, security.

Things I’ve missed all my life.

My heart almost catapults out of my body whenever I realize how perfectly Zander has filled the empty hole in my heart.

He turned his life upside down for me.

He calls me by my name. A word he dreaded all his life.

He moved to Cherrywood for me, because this is the only place where I feel like home.

Now he’s patiently waiting for me to say three words: I am ready.

But I’m not.

Marrying Zander and starting the family he wants would mean placing my trust in fate, believing that I’m truly safe… that my children would be truly safe.

He’s promising me the future of my dreams, but how can I let go of the past?

Loving Rose is the second and final book in Rose and Zander’s story.

“Then teach me.”

“Are you sure?” His gaze doesn’t leave my face, and I know he’s checking for any of my nervous tics.

“I might be shy about these things, Zander, but I want to experience, or at least try, everything with you.”

A playful smile plays on his lips at my words. “Everything. That’s a big word, couch girl.”

“Not as big as you,” I murmur, rubbing myself against his hardening p****

“Oh, Rose. You shouldn’t have done that, babe.” He leans forward and grabs my lavender pillow from the bed. Throwing it on the floor next to my feet, he says, “Get on your knees. Class starts now.”

My hands move from where they were resting on his chest. Zander grabs them at the last moment and helps me get down.

“What should I do?” In this position, I’m eye level with the towel knot around his waist.

“Close your eyes.”

I look at him in confusion. How can I do this with my eyes closed? I’m not even sure I can do it right with my eyes wide open. But when Zander simply stares down at me, waiting for me to follow his instruction, I comply.

“Do you really want to do this, couch girl?”

I smile despite the nerves. My heart swoons at his tenderness, and some of the nerves settle down.

He knows my heart.

I open my eyes and nod, determined to give him the best blow job in the whole world.

“Then remove the towel. I’m all yours.”

The woman I’m head over heels in love with has a damn target on her head. And I will stop at nothing to make sure the bitch who’s after her is taken out—before the asshole comes after what’s mine.

I’d do anything for Thayleah. I proved that when I almost lost my life while trying to protect her from an evil so vile, I knew it was time to deal with the shit that brought with it. So, to ensure she was safe, I voluntarily took a scorpion bite—twice—to prove I am worthy of being the man she needs me to be.

I will not fail her this time.

Not when she needs me the most.

Though, the problem—I’m a damn prospect.

A nothing.

Well, less than nothing.

Patching into the club is everything I have ever wanted.

Everything I need.

To prove to my family and the club, I belong—that I’m not just some kid they seem to see me as—as a brother who is willing to fight and die for this club.

Defiance means everything to me.

But if I have to go into this mission alone, sacrificing my position at the club to make sure Thayleah stays safe, then I’m willing to do just that.

Forever is a myth.

A made-up notion used to trick lovesick fools.

Now, I know better.

I fell for it once, and it was great until the boy I loved left me alone and heartbroken.

But, he’s back in our small-town, claiming he’s ready to give me the life he’s always promised.

I want to believe him because, despite everything, I still love him.

There’s just one problem…

He has no idea he’s a father.

Jasper Vanek

They say distance matters none when love is on the line.

Something I wish I knew before I walked out on the best thing that ever happened to me.

It was for the better, at least that’s what I told myself.

I was wrong.

And now after all these years, I have a chance to fix things.

From the moment I lay eyes on her, I realize the mistake I made and know that I have to have her again.

She’s mine, and I’ll do whatever it takes.

Imagine my surprise when I return not only for my woman, but also the seven-year-old son I knew nothing about.

Until Forever is part of Aurora Rose Reynolds's Happily Ever Alpha World. If you loved Until Harmony, then you will want to read Until Forever.
