Dekkir (Galaxy Alien Warriors #1) by Lara Larue

This story started out pretty funny, but ended up being pretty serious. The story is well written with several serious flaws. They become extremely obvious as the story progresses. The spy on the earth ship got on and off it too easy and all the pschic abilities happening to our heroine is over the top.

Broken Perfection by Heather Henle

This is an amazing story. What we think of perfection is our dreams interlaced with our own demons. I was amazed how the author dealt with Brianna's pain and injuries. How Kevin dealt with her car accident should have been a clue to what kind of man Kevin actually is. The problem is that sometimes as women we have no self respect and want that security back again. The author deals with all of these issues and a heartfelt and well written story is the product.

A Capital Mistake by Kennedy Cross

Rating:  ⭐⭐
The story line was a good try, but there are a lot of mistakes in the development of Sophia's character. You can't just throw off a cop persona and let what Noah had done go. The fact that he committed bank robberies should have made Sophia due a double take, it didn't. The Sheriff was full of mistakes, especially for someone who was running the bank robbery ring. To be honest, the whole thing was a capital mistake.

Defiant Diva (Book 3 Singers in Love) by Irene Vartanoff

This woman deserves nothing. She is self center and destructive. She blames a demon for emotional outbursts when she has diabetes. Don't get me started on how the doctors got around her to get her to take her pills. She is does not deserve a rich man like Dex, and how Dex could fall in love with her is beyond belief with her behavior. Maybe in the end she changes a little, but if the woman had any common sense, it wouldn't have gotten to that point. One star for a really bad heroine whom all I wanted to do was smack her in the face and tell her to get over herself.

Torn: An Alpha Billionaire Romance by Tristan Vaughan, Ellie Danes

Rating:  ⭐⭐⭐⭐                                                                 This story dealt with a break up and meeting someone new. Someone, who is new and exciting. Someone, who puts a name to chivalrous. Then, you're ex comes back groveling for you to forgive him.  Do you go with the new or what's comfortable? This story challenges us to look for what we really need in a relationship. It was well written, but some things that are written in, I do not see how they help the plot of the story. As far as I can see, Gregory is an unnecessary antagonist to the plot and story.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A Marquess and a Secret (Gentlemen and Brides #2) by Joyce Alec

This novella is a quaint story. It is enjoyable for the short read. It is told from the rare gentlemen's point of view. You don't really get a good feel for Miss Mary Richards, but she is very unconventional in her dealings with men. She would have been seen as fast in this day and age. Still, it was a fun story and a delightful romp.

The Forbidden Valentine: Lady Eleanor Hawthorne: Regency Romance Novel (Heart of a Gentleman Book 5) by Isabella Thorne

I really like the story and the plot. The thing was it took so long to get to the main issue that at points the story begins to drone in the same old thing over and over. The conflict and climax are exciting, but the author took a drastic measure to bring the two families back together. The hero and heroine interaction, when they interacted was passionate and endearing. The story in the beginning should have moved just a little bit faster.
