It's SO hard to put into words what I felt while reading this one. It's another freebie I got from Amazon and again I auto-clicked because I thought we're going to get a HOT FATED MATES story.
"HEAT" it actually an M/M Gay Shifter Mpreg Romance... My bad, I didn't check the blurb. So it's only my fault. I had no idea while diving in about the Mpreg thing. I'm not a fan, actually I can't remember if I've read about this before, but I knew, I just knew it's not my thing. I can't for the love of God, wrap my head around it and be OK with it. Not even in a fantasy or fated mates or shape shifter story.
Dane is a shape shifter dragon and he finds his mate in a human. They share this strong bond and have wild sex. Dane is afraid his mate will die while being pregnant. He leaves him. Then he returns and takes his responsibility. They love each other. They have A LOT of sex. They deliver the baby dragon and the Epilogue shows us a happy family with friends. The end.
Unfortunately this was not my cup of tea. But it's a novella and I was able to finish it pretty quickly. Now I can honestly say Mpreg is NOT for me, I tried it and it didn't do anything for me....more

I got this as a freebie from Amazon and I must admit I enjoyed the cover and the blurb seemed interesting. Well the story was not. I wanted SO much more. It was supposed to be full of action. I had too high hopes for this one. At least it was free and not very long. I was able to finish it pretty quickly.
I didn't really like the main characters. They were supposed to be strong men, but they acted like teenagers... There's not much steam.
I won't continue this series because I just couldn't get interested in the secondary characters either....more

So, this one was lighter than I expected. We get a MFM scene pretty early in the book. To say I wasn't happy reading about the two MCs sharing a nameless woman, is a big understatement. Then the MCs ignore their attraction and feelings... and boom, pretty fast they are in love, ready to move in together.
I'm not sure what I expected, but this wasn't for me. I need more angst in my books.
The writing was good and there are some pretty hot scenes, but overall I can't say this one was a remarkable story. If you're into sweet and light stories, maybe it will work better for you.

Sweet Christmas story. I can't say I enjoyed some parts, and especially how Lane accepted Andy as a babysitter for his 6 y.o. son, right after meeting him. This felt SO unrealistic!
We get some hot scenes, but only a few. It felt kind of rushed and they jumped right into a relationship and popped the L word way too fast for my taste. Overall this was light and a sweet Christmas story, with a HEA. It just wasn't for me....more

Again I'm in the minority here. Almost all my GR friends loved it to pieces! So many 5 stars reviews. Again maybe I expected too much, but this one kind of left me wanting more.
I usually love age gaps between the main characters, but here it didn't work for me. The romance was nice, but a little too predictable. Maybe it's just me here, not the book. Feel free to try it and if you enjoy low on angst stories, maybe you'll like it more than I did....more

This was free on Amazon when I grabbed it and as I love Annabeth Albert's writing style I thought it was going to be a winner. Unfortunately it took me ages to get invested into the story, even if it's pretty short, and it was too sugary sweet for my taste. It ended being just an OK read. I enjoyed some parts, but it was not what I expected. Low on angst and pretty light....more

I planned on reading only MM books in 2019,It's the first paperback I've read this year and also my first book that I've read and isn't MM this year. I planned on reading only MM books in 2019, but a coworker borrowed it to me saying it's a great one. Unfortunately it wasn't a great story for me. Maybe because I had high expectations? I don't know. But what I do know is that I am NOT a fan of this author's writing and that this #1 New York Times Bestseller didn't work for me. It ended being only an OK read, but nothing more. The blurb is pretty interesting, and I expected much more! This story was LONG and extremely boring at times. There are too many characters and scenes that don't really matter. I didn't care for most of the characters. They were egotistical and I didn't agree with their choices AT ALL.
I'm sorry to give this one only 2 stars, but it just wasn't my cup of tea and the ending wasn't satisfying....more
"Almost everyone finds their firestarter, that one person who lights the eternal flame in you, the love that burns everlasting like the memorial Jacki"Almost everyone finds their firestarter, that one person who lights the eternal flame in you, the love that burns everlasting like the memorial Jackie made for JFK. But the first fires burn the brightest, and usually they burn too brightly. The saddest truth is that these first flames are too intense to last. Most people lose their firestarter, and then live out the rest of their lives smoldering for that person, in some way or another, forever. There is a reason most people do not end up with their first loves – that fire is not meant to last."
I finished this one days ago but really didn't know what to write about it. If it wasn't for some highlights that really spoke to me, I would have DNF this one. At first I laughed about some scenes and characters and I found it very ... strange, repetitive, boring at times, extremely unbelievable some other times. I got angry about the immaturity of a main character and even if it was HOT... the hot and cold didn't work for me here. BUT, I can't believe it surprised me at one point and I'll have to admit I really didn't see it coming.
I'll go with 2 stars because it was an OK read in the end. I'm not a fan of the writing and I am NOT curious to read the second book....more

This one was a freebie on Amazon and as I mostly enjoy Anyta Sunday's writing I grabbed it right away. The blurb got me interested, "bastard Trey", Trey being his sister's boyfriend. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and I really hoped to enjoy this book. Well it was just OK and I enjoyed some parts of it. The writing was good but there were some parts that didn't work for me. The action was too slow for my taste, Trey wasn't at all a bastard and the main characters weren't actually enemies. This story could have been shorter and with a little more speed. It wasn't what I expected from this author and it felt ... common. Well we can't love them all, right?...more

If I wasn't so focused on finishing all the books I read, no matter how boring, well I would have definitely given up on this one. It was a freebie on Amazon when I got it and I told myself why not, let's try new books from unknown to me authors. This story was a miss for me and I can't really say what bugged me the most. The beginning was interesting enough. I really thought it will keep me interested but then it all went downhill. I didn't like the MCs, I didn't like the story and to be honest, I know I will not read the next books. I am sorry to say this, but it was not my cup of tea. Not in a million years....more
