Weekly Recap (Week 11) Spring Ahead

by | Mar 10, 2024 | Sunday Post | 3 comments

I am very excited that we have entered into the month of March. Its so fabulous. Its also my birthday month, so I just love this month. I also love way that we slowly get some warm weather intermittently. It just delivers the best spring vibes and I can’t wait until spring is here. I am so ready for warmer weather. These cold temps kill me. I also appreciate those who commented or reached out directly to check up on me while I was gone. I was honestly just feeling exhausted and just didn’t have energy for blogging.

(All links to the reviews will guide you to my Goodreads Reviews)

Book Read-Hunted by a Shadow by Michelle Heard—Rating 4.5 Stars—What a great beauty and beast retelling that is blended with a bit of a stalker vibe. There is great suspense here and the author really blended in some fun dynamics that pulled me in so quickl.y

Book Read-A Kiss From A Rogue by Elisa Braden—Rating 4 Stars—This was a fun finale. While its not my favorite of the series, and was a bit disappointed as this was the last full novel of the series, it was emotional and had some powerful moments with this couple.

Book Read-Moon Called by Patricia Briggs—Rating 4.25 Stars–This was FABULOUS! While it wasn’t a five stars, it was a blast of a good time. Considering how picky I am on UF, this is great. Mercy was fabulous, celebration for a heroine in a UF that isn’t overwhelming or super kick ass in a marvel way lol The world building was fascinating and I adored Adam. I know there is a love triangle but I also know who she ends up with and hopefully it’s not dragged out too much. So for those that have read these books….should I read both series involved in this world? or read the series separately?

Book ReRead-Knight by Kristen Ashley—Rating 5 Stars—Loved getting back to this book and it was so fun getting back to this author. I just love revisiting old favorites.

Book Listened-Black Ties & White Lies by Kat Singleton—Rating 4 Stars—I actually enjoyed this one here. This was my first Singleton. My only complaint was the number of sex scenes. I mean there is one scene that is 7 CHAPTERS long. Yeah I skipped it lol But I did love the vibes contained within the story.

Book Listened-Claim Me Forever by A.L. Jackson—Rating 5 Stars—-What a fabulous read this one turned out to be. This might be my favorite of the series. I loved the suspense plot, and these two work so well together. The kids involved in this story were just the right touch and Ezra is such a devoted father.

Book Listened-A Different Blue by Amy Harmon—Rating 4.5 Stars—What a fabulous read. What is it about this author? Every book I read from her is superb. And I learned this past week she is also LDS and one of my LDS twitter friends he is married to one of her best friends—SMALL WORLD!

Book Read-Tears of Betrayal by Michelle Heard—-Rating 4 Stars—What a great read here. It wasn’t perfect, but a solid read. There was some angst I wasn’t expecting, but really loved the suspense plot that is portrayed in this one here.

Book Listened-The Finished by RuNyx—Rating 4.5 Stars—This features some mafia, marriage of convenience and a second chance set up. I really enjoyed what the author delivered here and I truly love how she has handled these books!

Book Listened-Obsessions Falls by Claire Kingsley—Rating 4 Stars–I FINALLY got to this one. I have been trying to read this one for quite a while. I really enjoyed it. Great suspense plot and had some sweet emotion.

Book Read-Roman by Melanie Moreland—Rating 4 Stars—A great story. the PREMISE really drew me in and I loved it. If you are fans of dark romance or mafia ….I recommend it. Basically a hero being a protector and its so sweet.

Current Reads

My Audiobook for my Sunday to kick off my week is going to be Love With Me by Kristen Proby I have been wanting to work my way through this author’s backlist. Especially with her current small town series being connected to these Seattle books. My current ebook is Ruler of Hearts by Bella Di Corte and I absolutely am enjoying it. Its a LONG book so I am not sure how long it will take my, my goal is to get it finished by Sunday evening. I have this Linda Kage on the back burner and been trying to read it for a while. I want to finally get to it with Vacancy. I know it has some PNR elements to it, so I am curious to see how it will be handled here. Then I am continuing on with the Patricia Briggs world with this prequel Alpha and Omega I have heard its best to read this book before reading Cry Wolf. Then I am finishing up the Rescue From Rogues series with Once Upon a Midnight Kiss by Elisa Braden.

But I will endear to stick with my TBR as its carefully picked. This week I am doing some new releases, some romanceopoly picks and a couple of books on my TBR.

    I am ready for spring right at the beginning of winter. It’s been so up and down though. March is weather trickster. Hope you were able to get the R&R you needed

    I’m sorry you are feeling off. This weather is just a pain. For me it’s the up and down. One second, it’s freezing and the next we are out without a coat. Oh, I love a birthday month! I make sure my family always remembers mine. I hope things are better this upcoming week.
