Reluctant Concubine (Hardstorm Saga, #1)Reluctant Concubine by Dana Marton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There were aspects to this book in regards to characterization and world building that made me rage. Like literal, fist shaking rage.

But with that being said, all in all, it was a good story. One I read from beginning to end in a fairly short period of time and enjoyed.

So if you can get past the main character being naive to the point of idiocy and few questionable world building choices, then what's left is a pretty good tale that's I'd definitely recommend.

Book Review for Close Liasons

Close Liaisons (The Krinar Chronicles #1)Close Liaisons by Anna Zaires
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book. Some people described it as a mashup between Twilight and 50 Shades with an alien twist and I'd agree with that description. One caveat though, I liked this book better than both of those combined. I feel like she took the controlling alpha trope and raised it to a new level.

Mia is a mouse. And some people have an inherent dislike for female characters that aren't "strong women", but what made me like her was even though she was terrified out of her wits, she still acted. It's easy to be heroic when nothing scares you, it's way harder to be heroic when you're shaking in your boots. Several times she's certain she's about to die, but that never stops her from doing the right thing. For that I have much respect.

Korum is a prick. And he's bigoted against humans. And his power is all-encompassing. He is the alpha male poster child. But his massive flaws as a human being are tempered, first by the fact that he isn't a human being. And second by moments of care and sparks of compassion. If you have to be kidnapped, there are worse places to land.

The book was in perfect balance. Character, plot, scifi elements, it all worked for me. You know when you read a book and realize that you'll probably read everything this person ever wrote and like all of it? Well that was this book. I look forward to reading the rest of the series and beyond.

    Kayci's Passion

    The love story is the most powerful story ever told. What's more fascinating than how people fall in love?

    I love to explore the infinite ways the love story can be told. From the most gentle innocent, to the most evil villain, there is a perfect match for them all, and I will find them.

    Long Live Happily Ever Afters!
