Review: ROYALLY MATCHED by Emma Chase!

My Review: I knew after reading the first book of that this author would not disappoint when Henry got his turn. I laughed, I sniffled, I considered hugging my e-reader but realized that might be uncomfortable for all involved.. basically, I loved this. You know you have a good book when you forget you're reading, that the story isn't actually playing out in front of you, and time just slips away.

Typically, when I read a romance, I find myself either falling for the hero, or I see myself in the heroine. Whichever I go with, there's usually a clear winner - I end up liking one more than the other. But not here, I am in love with Henry and Sarah both. I had to know how their story would end, but I almost didn't finish this book. I didn't want to... I wasn't ready to say goodbye. So if you want a fantastic contemporary romance, look no further. Both of these books have been top notch, and I highly recommend them.

Cover Lovin': Oh my! Very yum.

Recommendation:  You'll want to read book one if you haven't already. Henry's life is vastly changed by the results of the first book.

Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars (5/5)!! I can't say enough how much I loved this. I blushed, I laughed, I fell in love. 

Happy Reading!

    Some men are born responsible, some men have responsibility thrust upon them. Henry Charles Albert Edgar Pembrook, Prince of Wessco, just got the motherlode of all responsibility dumped in his regal lap. He’s not handling it well. Hoping to force her grandson to rise to the occasion, Queen Lenora goes on a much-needed safari holiday—and when the Queen’s away, the Prince will play. After a chance meeting with an American television producer, Henry finally makes a decision all on his own: Welcome to Matched: Royal Edition. A reality TV dating game show featuring twenty of the world's most beautiful blue bloods gathered in the same castle. Only one will win the diamond tiara, only one will capture the handsome prince’s heart. While Henry revels in the sexy, raunchy antics of the contestants as they fight, literally, for his affection, it’s the quiet, bespectacled girl in the corner—with the voice of an angel and a body that would tempt a saint—who catches his eye. The more Henry gets to know Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum, the more enamored he becomes of her simple beauty, her strength, her kind spirit…and her naughty sense of humor. But Rome wasn’t built in a day—and irresponsible royals aren’t reformed overnight. As he endeavors to right his wrongs, old words take on whole new meanings for the dashing Prince. Words like, Duty, Honor and most of all—Love.

Review: WICKED BEAST by Nazarea Andrews

My Review: Let me start by saying I generally am not the biggest fan of Domme/sub relationships. I like men in charge. That said, I really liked this book. Beast was amazing, and seeing his relationship with Beauty was hot, and more than a little moving. This is a novella, so don't expect for things to get too deep and emotional. But it's definitely worth a read.

You'd think, since this isn't normally my thing, that I would like this even less than book one, but nope! I liked this better, for sure. I was so into the story, I was even shaking during the truly emotional scene about halfway through. This book has its flaws, but it's easily overlooked, trust me. Beast is worth it.

Cover Lovin': Simple, elegant, and the series is a cohesive whole.

Recommendation: Reading the first book is recommended since some of Beast's motivations in the beginning are a direct result of the end of Wicked Charming.

Final Rating: FOUR out if FIVE stars (4/5)! Better than book one! Emotional, sexy, and has me begging for more.

Happy Reading!
