🗬 Our Thoughts
"He thinks I have a plan, but I'm just as lost as he is...What if we're two lost souls being happy together?"
These two complimented each other perfectly.
The moment Hutch pushed the start button the course of their lives changed forever.
"Remember, you don't need to sacrifice yourself to make other people happy."
Hutch was lost, he just couldn't find his footing.
The "new" family wasn't helping his situation either.
He needed a way out, a chance to get his thoughts together.
So when the opportunity to responsibly escape his reality arose he took it.
How hard could driving someone cross-country be?
Amber had just lost her mom and was spiraling emotionally. Her mom's last wish was to have her remains spread at various sites across the country. - She even mapped it out -
Their last big hoorah
Amber could do this -
She just needed to hire a driver
Craft a solid itinerary to keep them on schedule
And secure her recently acquired emotional support chicken ...
don't ask
Turns out the only easy part was the chicken
This was all the feels. I smiled. I broke just a touch. I related. I laughed. I covered my eyes and plugged my ears (lol). I hoped.
Such a great series
It's about family- both blood and chosen
It's about discovering who you are
It's about getting up again after you fall
It's about believing in yourself
Each story is one you'll want to read again and again

Shattered Lies by Grahame Claire
"Peace was not an option. Forgiveness was impossible. War. It'd become a war."
This...
wrenched out my heart and left me grasping for hope - then proceeded to cruelly stomp on the last slim sliver that there was still a chance - all while casually laughing as it put my broken pieces back together
A MUST-read - Seriously bring the tissue box and a stuffie
I just can't conceive that level of self-absorption - both of them - their twisted views - the all-consuming greed
"Take your time. When you're ready to come back to us I'll be waiting"
I loved this side of Kane. Grief can either destroy you or make you stronger. It's a different journey for each of us.
I wasn't sure Barn and Kane were going to make it.
Barn finally saw past all the lies - but the cost
I can't believe Barn's egg donor that woman's got some cajones to flip the script on Barn like that
And Insane Alma 😳 like WTH? I would have introduced her to daddy shark - to heck with forgiveness
So the Dr. and his patient - 🤔 I'm so hoping!
This ends on lots of happy notes - which I needed after the emotional ringer these three put me through - as well as some loose ends that I am hoping get dealt with soon

A Lair So Royal by Zoey Ellis
Lair so royal brings everything to a close
Answering the who and why questions (most of them at least)
Setting up the possibilities for the next generation
And giving our fearless clan leader his HEA
This episode is a bit heavier on the non/dub scenes
Khyros has finally found his dragon and nothing and no one will stand in his way of getting answers.
Makes the inquisition a bit more exciting when his prisoner turns out to be a challenge -
Mentally and physically
Azenyah has been held captive believing she was a prisoner of her mate's insanity. She has no intention of giving him anything but empty air
I wanted to toss Khyros off the edge - with his magic bound - he infuriated me to no end
Azenyah was stubborn but I got it - she had been trapped for centuries what was old to the clan was new to her
Solid ending to the series
Sweet Cherry by Lola Finn
Really, why do you take, what's supposed to be a strong likable heroine and turn her brainless, even for a moment?
I was okay with how this crossed between the lines of plausible and slightly outside the lines
I liked Hawk. He was all growly, chest-pounding gooey goodness with Cherry.
Walked the line between good and bed quite sexily
Cherry was a smart, outgoing, pull-up-them-big-girl panties-when-she-had-to, take no sass kind of gal.
Yeah, it was an instant capitulation, juices-flowing kind of chemistry between these two, and Hades did it work.
I was okay with the insta
Yes, the story was fast-paced and occasionally a bit on the "it could happen" track
I was okay with that too
Lots of action - a wee tiny tinge of angst
Heck I didn't even need all the background details to connect and enjoy the cast (says something)
Then you took a smart woman and dumbed her down 😞
sure it worked out but still...
Despite how mad I am at that - I am looking forward to the next in the series

Oops! Human by Anitra Lynn McLeod
Lesson learned - for life (seems he is now bonded to the human)
That's okay though nothing is going to stop him from obtaining the Orb and it seems the supposed human has some magic of his own
Skye is okay with suddenly finding himself in a world filled with new creatures and possible adventures He is especially down with the connection he feels towards a certain smexy magician.
However, what he is not okay with is the why of his summoning
Can Skye show Maddox there is more than revenge?
Or will Maddox's need to eradicate the town cost them both their lives?
I ported into this series with Oops! Human -
It was such a fun read, filled with intriguing characters, a well-thought-out universe, and the sweetest romance. There were some lulls in the story but at about a third of the way in I legitimately couldn't put it down.
Left me with a solid ab workout and all the feels
Am going back to read the series as there is a certain vampire and dwarf I have to know more about
Crave Me by Lexi C. Foss
A great mix of fun, mystery, action, and hades-level smexiness
all heralded by a fantastically idiosyncratic cast
Ves was a goner the moment he caught her scent,
But when he set his gaze upon her frivolous frolicking
- It was a wrap-
He tried to deny his desire (it was admirable 😂)
But some things are just meant to be
Nyx is such a blast - innocent, curious, playful, deadly
With way more self-control than I could ever hope to have
She just wanted to make new friends, experience their world- maybe even hang out for a bit ---
But noooooo
You all had to keep trying to dispose of her
That was okay though she could hold her own
Then you took it too far
You messed with what was hers
Oops! Human by Anitra Lynn McLeod📔 This slow-burn paranormal M/M romance contains a bumbling wizard with a big secret, a bewildered human trapped in a strange realm, a dangerous kitty, deadly fog, and a star-studded HEA that will make you smile.
🗬 Our Thoughts
Lots of laughs with very light angst
Maddox accidentally summoned Skye to his realm, after maybe, possibly, not following the spell directions quite to the letterLesson learned - for life (seems he is now bonded to the human)
That's okay though nothing is going to stop him from obtaining the Orb and it seems the supposed human has some magic of his own

A Lair So Royal by Zoey Ellis📔 From a dark, magic-ravaged world comes an enthralling new fantasy romance series. Five brothers, last of an ancient Alpha bloodline, each bound by fire and blood to their majestic dragons.
🗬 Our Thoughts
I recommend reading the previous books in this series before this one as this is the finale for The Last Dragorai though I am hoping for a next-generation series Lair so royal brings everything to a close
