I have read several books by Lynnea Lee and always enjoy them. The characters were all fun and well written and I loved Wren's cheeka's. Wren's cheeks Soft Serve was very cute and helped to lighten the mood sometimes. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

This was my first book by Lexi Lennox as well as part of the Whispers of Fate series of standalone books by different authors that all involve the solar eclipse. It was fun getting to read a book involving a solar eclipse with one happening and I enjoyed the characters and story. I hope to read more from this series and author in the future.

This was the first book from the Kaleidian Warrior Dads Series that I have read and I really enjoyed it. Tania and Garet were both very well written and I enjoyed getting to know them both. I plan to look into reading more from this series in the future.

This is the third book set at the Rosewood Ridge Retreat Center and is about Julian & Gwendolyn getting together. I liked how after they meet Gwendolyn comes out of her shell and is able to stand up for herself. Each story in this series can be read on it's own even if they do have ties to previous stories. I look forward to reading more from this series as well as other books from this author.

Her Alien Husband by Michele Mills

5.0

This book was an enjoyable story and can be read as a standalone book although after reading Burl & Lucy's story I have added the prequel His Human Runaway about Thorn & Mica to my TBR as well as the next book His Human Rebel about Rake and Stella. I enjoyed reading about all the characters introduced in this story and Lucy's cats were fun to read about as well, particularly how well Burl acted with them. I look forward to continuing to read about Flagstone Fire Ranch in the future.

This was the second book in this series that I have read and I really enjoyed getting to know Flint better after his brief scene in the last book about his brother Knox. I enjoyed seeing how the relationship between Flint and Liza evolved after their rocky beginning and the epilogue was fun as well. I look forward to backtracking to read more of the books from this series.

This was my first book from the Dragon Brides Series and the second book from this set of three connected books in the series and I loved the world and characters involved. I look forward to reading the next book about Knox's brother Flint as well as backtracking later to read about their brother Asher before reading more of the earlier books from this series. These books are a great addition to the Intergalactic Dating Agency Series.
