Departing: A Thrilling Romantic Apocalyptic Series with Aliens (Earth's Only Hope Book 1) by Joynell Schultz

This story is surprisingly in depth and the action is intense. The only problem with this story is I don't like the humans in this story, including the heroine. The problem is they are all criminals that only care about themselves. The aliens are looking for a new home and the planet they seek is rumored to have their enemies aboard. They are using the humans because the weapon their enemy holds won't effect human hearing. The plot is excellent, but I felt the author could have soften the relationship between the alien doctor and our heroine.

A Knight to Dare: (The Valiant Love Regency Romance) (A Historical Romance Book) by Deborah Wilson

I just love this series, and this story is no different. This is General Astger story. Vita is extraordinary and quite different from most women. She has been taught not to be herself. She is not like other ladies of the ton and this is what Remy sees. She is bright, intelligent, witty, chatty and childlike. She dares much trying to find her mother, but only arouses the Duke of Van Dero's suspicions. He assigns Remy to scare Vita from the Duke. Only Vita's curiosity and her audaciousness to find Lord Dunn (Remy in disguise) cause a serious chaos to arise against Vita and the Duke of Van Dero. This is a great plot and a wonderful story.

Montana Heartbeat by Vella Munn

This story could have been great, but it spent more time pondering the Crows future then actually telling a story. There are times I actually became bored, and wanted to just put the story down. I was actually curious how the author got these two together. The ending is not a surprise, but it doesn't answer alot of questions either. The plot is excellent, but the story itself is lost in boring pondering.

The Warrior Princess (Made for Each Other: The Dragon Shifters Book 3) by Renee Carr

Rating:  ⭐
Spoiler Alert! This is the third book in this series. This story is not as good as the first one. It's okay. There's lots of action, but it's not all that intense. It makes Joshua look like a weak dragon and his 1st in command even weaker. In fact, these two should be dead, because they are obvious poor fighters and the author pulls one out of her hat to save these two. She goes on to make them a shared king and queen, because Nathaniel is too emotional to continue on as King. Realizing they are actually too weak to be King & Queen, she brings back John and Sarah the original King & Queen. This plot is weak as the characters and this is truly a disappointing story.

Taming Her Cowboy Billionaire (Brothers of Miller Ranch #5) by Natalie Dean

Rating:  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This story goes beyond the depths of girl tames boy. It's about understanding the depth of a person. The good, the bad and the ugly in each other's life. As each other comes to understand and help each other with the ugly in their lives, a love grows that binds them. This story is inspirational to those whose who feel the ugly makes them unlovable. This is a lie that we all most overcome.

Highlander's Captive: A Historical Scottish Highlander Romance Novel (Highlanders of the McCall Clan Book 2) by Barbara Bard

Rating:  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Declan is young and impetuous. It's his failing. Catherine will escape because of him. To prove to his clan, he is not a failure; he runs after her to bring her back. The only thing that is going to save Declan is the fact that Catherine loves him. This story is powerful and tells us foibles of being impetuous. Declan, I like him, but I wanted to smack him for his foolishness. Catherine, I understood not wanting to be a captive. Her problem was naivety of the situation and her father's grievance again the Scottish. It's a story worth reading about the sensitivities of war.
