Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

Unchained by a Forbidden Love had me hooked from the start with its angst and intensity, but repetitive moments and a bit too much inner monologue kept it just shy of a perfect 5. Still, Fuery’s story and that eternal love were worth every page.

If it is not an easy 5, I have to give it 4.

Book: Unchained by a Forbidden Love

Series: Eternal Mates #15

Author: Felicity Heaton

Page count: 290

Genres: Fantasy. Romance. Paranormal. Fae. Shapeshifters. Dark Elves.

I wanted to give this one 5 so badly, and the first 10% to 60% I read non stop, there it was the juicy part and the angst, the falling for the characters.

Hello, dearies! 💜

I started off this one without any greeting but I had to get it out first. Well then… what was missing in Unchained by a Forbidden Love? What made me rethink and not go for the top rating? Probably the repetitive moments or long internal dialogues.

I get it, they were necessary at some points to convey the dilemma of Fuery, not so much with Shaia, she was a bit annoying to be honest.

TBT: The Smoke Thief

‘Creatures of extraordinary beauty, power, and sensuality, they possess the ability to shape-shift from human to dragon and back again. Now their secret—and their survival—is threatened by a temptation that will break every boundary.’

Hello, dearies! 🐲

It’s been a while since I did a TBT, but recently I have been feeling that longing to re-read a good book and one that I have loved for a while is The Smoke Thief by Shana Abé.

This was the first book I read by this author I think 10 years ago or so, wow! I did not expect to think back and see that it has been that long since I first picked up and only after a small description and learning that it was about dragons, that was more than enough for me.

Marked by an Assassin [Eternal Mates #8] Book Review

That book was not what I was expecting… sadly.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

Welcome, dearies! 📖

I have finished reading another Eternal Mates book, number 8 this time. Marked by an Assassin. At first I was not going to read this one, but I wanted to know something so I went back to it, I should, maybe, perhaps, followed my first instinct.

Final Countdown for Smashwords Book Deals [July Summer Sale]

Looking for a new book? I saw some cool ones on Smashwords for their annual book July Summer Sale.

Hi, dearies! 📑

Do you know Smashwords? 🤔

They often have these book sales or deals, where you can find even a free book or a few. But there are some with 25%, 50%, or 75% discount. If you have seen some of my others book listings here on the blog then you already knew that. lol.

In any case, I was browsing the lists and these books caught my eyes. (This is not a promotion, I just like sharing Smashwords book deals).

Drums of Autumn: TBT

“But a man is not forgotten, as long as there are two people left under the sky. One, to tell the story; the other, to hear it.”

Author: Diana Galbadon

Genre: Fantasy, Time travel, Romance

Series: Outlander (Book #4)

OMG! It’s July already!😲 Almost August! 🥲

Hard to believe but half the year already, I need two months back.

Anyway, have you read the Outlander books? I read up to this book, which is book 4, then started book 5, and… I stopped without meaning to, I really should go back to it.

But today’s throwback is about Drums of Autumn, which is book 4 and it introduces so many characters in a deeper way.

Brianna. Roger. John.

Back in DoA, It’s life in the past but what I liked about it was Brianna’s journey. Alright, that’s spoilers if you haven’t read any of the books and you have no idea who anyone is other than Jaime and Claire from the show, and that if you only watched season 1, which is book 1 (Outlander). I don’t blame you if that’s all you watched though, it was a good season and a great start, but there’s more to it.

Hello, dearies! 🌹

I recently finished Tempted by a Rogue Prince (Eternal Mates #3) by Felicity Heaton, I read this one fast and through the night, not because I didn’t like it, oh no, no. By the time I realised it I was so engrossed by this story that I was actually surprised. It’s been some time since that happened to me.
