Book Tag: April Wrap Up

Hi everyone!!
Can you believe it is already May?! How was your April in books?
I read a total of 13 books this month bringing my total reading challenge up to 35 books out of the 20 I set for my goal! Yay! 





To start of the month of April I read Beautifully Brutal by Dani Rene which was book 1 in the Cavalieri Della Morte series. I thought a series with different authors doing each book was intruiging and wanted to get in on it. This was the first book of Dani's that I read, and the story was a older man, younger woman who happens to be the boss's daughter. 3⭐ out of 5⭐  Review


Vow of Obedience was the first book I have read of Brianna Hale's. It was set in the Cavalieri Della Morte world. It was fast paced, and a little bit dark. 4⭐ out of 5⭐. Review


This was a quick, fast paced read, and a perfect second chance novel. It was cute, sweet, with a hint of drama. 4.5⭐ out of 5⭐. Review


It was dark, twisted and oh so good. It is book 2 in the Dare series (you need to Read I Dare You first!) & is in Cole & Deke's POV. If you like Dark YA romance reads then you need to read these books! 5⭐ out of 5⭐. Review 


Superstar was a fun, light, read. It had me swooning at times, and tearing up at others. I loved Finn and Jennifer together. This was the first book I have read of Vicky's, and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next! 4⭐ out of 5⭐ Review 

Maxon and Izzy's story is a second chance slow burn romance filled with angst and tension. Both drawn to the other, but also hurting. Can Maxon and Izzy mend the pieces of each other and their hearts or will one of them be left shattered again?  4⭐ out of 5⭐. Review

This book is an enemies to lovers, best friends girl, romance. It was emotional, angsty, and slow-burn romance. Hunter & Lennon who had been pushing each other away come together in their grief, while still trying to keep boundaries in place. I cannot wait for Baby Yours! 5⭐ out of 5⭐. Review 


When I read this blurb, I had wanted to dive immediately into this book. BDSM, suspense, and more? What's not to love? I had a hard time getting into & connecting with the characters, it being in third person. 3⭐ out of 5⭐. Review


This is the first book I read by Michalea Smeltzer, and let me say I was def not disappointed. The cover was hot & fun, the tagline drew you in, and so did the blurb. It was relatable, funny, and a great read. If you are looking for your next RomCom, then this is it! 4.5⭐ out of 5⭐. Review


It's a Hollywood romance book like no other. There is more to it then just the glitz and glamour and being swept off your feet with wealth and material items. Lucas and Mila were more than just Hollywood's 'it' couple. They were real. There is a lot of back and forth from the past to present of their relationship- and you got to see the good, the bad, and even down right dirty of it all. What goes on behind closed doors. It was raw, and emotional, dealing with grief, and depression along side trying to find out what really happened. If you want to read about a Hollywood romance that's more than just the glamorous lifestyle & filled with emotion, then you need to pick up this book! 4.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐. Review


Dark of Night picks up right where Dead of Night leaves off. I absolutely love this world by Emily Goodwin! Besides saving the town- and the world, Callie and Lucas also needs to fight for each other. And I cannot wait for the next book. These books- these stories are phenomenal, and I love the world filled with magic, vampires and a little bit of mayhem. I love these characters, and these books and am dying for the next one in the series! 5⭐ out of 5⭐. Review


I loved every crazy second of this book. The teenage angst. The backstabbing, the mean girls, the banter. Every. Single. Thing. This book was an enemies to lovers, foster brother, slow burn, wrong side of the tracks, bad boy romance. The angst, and drama at an all time high. If you love angst and teen drama, if you love slow burn, and bad boys, if you love a-holes and forbidden romances then you need to read this book. 5⭐ out of 5⭐. Review 


This cover is gorgeous and the blurb intrigued me. I just had to get my hands on it. I had to know how Willow's story played out. She went from a whirlwind marriage to all of a sudden being kidnapped, her captors trying to break her spirit to prepare her for what was to come. This book was thrilling and suspenseful and grabs your attention, and keeping you on your toes. You will be turning pages trying to find out the answers to so many questions and won't want to put this book down.
4⭐ out of 5 ⭐. Review

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties. You can find my  Original Review Here . This is a romantasy why choose romance full o...
