Dragon's Mate (Irresistible Dragons #1)Dragon's Mate by Nora Phoenix
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a wonderful start to the new series. I love being able to see some of our friends from Irresistible Omegas. This story starts out with a very dramatic meet up. Once again you are given the chance to look at things from a different perspective. I can't wait for more of this series and find out what the dragons are up to.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dickens and Spike are both so cute. I love Dicken's outrage at the beginning of the story and how this leads to a new relationship. This is a sweet story where the characters start at odds but end up being great support.

Week 1 of 2023

 Hard to believe it is another year.  I haven't yet worked out the statistics for 2022 but it is time for the first reviews for 2023.  Expect quite a bit more holiday stories because I didn't get as much reading time as I had wanted over my Christmas break.  Going into the new year I'm am scheduling reading time every day.  



A Little Christmas: TeddyA Little Christmas: Teddy by Aster Rae
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I love the sweet idea of the story as a retelling of the Little Princess story which was a childhood favorite. But there were just somethings that took a whole of suspension of belief in the modern age. Also, some things were brought up in the beginning of the book that didn't seem to have a resolution. I was happy for Teddy to have his HEA and I think Chester does care so it got 3 stars.

View all my reviews Heal (White House Men #7)Heal by Nora Phoenix
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have enjoyed this whole series so much. It has been a great mix of romance and intrigue. It is well written and draws you in a brings you along. I love the mostly soft story of everyone figuring out what is next in their lives.. But there is some really tough moments to close out the story.
I listened to the audio version and enjoyed it very much.

View all my reviews A Little Christmas: TerrenceA Little Christmas: Terrence by J.P. Sayle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the fact that Warren has been interested in Terrance for a long time and vis versa. It isn't just a whim and it makes the way the relationship develop seem appropriate. There are parts of the story that have your heart breaking for Terrance and the hardships he is facing. I really love how this story ends. It was a great holiday read.

View all my reviews A Little Christmas: TimmyA Little Christmas: Timmy by Kaytea Kat
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love how Timothy is an accomplished and responsible person who feels overwhelmed by his work life. I love the fact that a slip of a few seconds leads Art to respond to his deepish wish. From there there story develops quickly but it is a fun a happy ending to a fun way to meet.
