Review of Earls Just Want To Have Fun by Shana Galen

Earls Just Want to Have Fun (Covent Garden Cubs, #1)
Marlowe is a top thief and petty criminal in the underbelly of London. She dresses like a male and acts as bad as one too. Maxwell, the Earl of Dane, is at the top of the upper class of London and he knows it. People like Marlowe are in a class so far below him that he doesn't think anything about striking down bills designed to help the less fortunate. He's also very bored with his life. So, when his brother, a bow street runner, talks him into helping on a job, he agrees. His brother is sure that Marlowe is a long-lost daughter of another high-class family, so he decides to kidnap Marlowe and ends up leaving her in Dane's care while he goes on other jobs. This pits Dane in a one on one battle of wills with Marlowe.

This story to me was a little bit of My Fair Lady meets Oliver meets Pride & Prejudice. Dane's arrogance and disdain for anything dirty or beneath him leads to some pretty funny situations. Marlowe is unwittingly funny as she adjusts to the changes in her circumstances. As she finally is able to accept things that she never allowed herself to dream, you really want her to get her happily ever after. This is the first book I've read from this author and I look forward to reading more from her.

Review of The Rest of My Life by Sheryl Browne - 5 Stars!!

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Adam slept with Lisa, who was a married woman. Nathanial was Adam's only friend. Nathanial was the marina's manager. Sienna is renting a cottage with her best friend Lauren. Sienna had to re-edit her romance script. Sienna wasn't sure if she believed that love conquered all anymore. Even though he was a womanizer, Sienna was attracted to Adam. He was also attracted to her, but knew he should stay away. Sienna was naive as far as passionate experiences went and her ex-boyfriend made her question whether or not she was frigid. She was a kind, warm and loving person trying to get a little breathing room from her dad. She loved her dad and even understood.  I really loved her character and her defending of those she cared for. Adam had been messed up from a previous relationship and saw his ex-fiance's ghost a lot. He had affairs to take away the pain and loneliness and drank for the same reason. Howeve

Review of Ignited by Laurie Wetzel - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maddy was dating an angel, MJ. MJ is a protector who has broken a lot of rules, but some he had to keep. MJ told Maddy she was his heart and he would fight before he would let anyone take her. Maddy had some special powers of her own. The characters were good, especially Maddy, who was overwhelmed with powers she couldn't control and the love she couldn't state and MJ. The plot was good as was the overall story. It dragged a little bit, but overall a good story. I recommend, although I didn't like the ending.

Review: Her Wolf

Her Wolf by Rebecca Royce My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ashlee Morrison thinks she’s going crazy...again. She’s become a bit obsessed with a wolf who may or may not be talking to her. Tristan Kane is a shifter that has been stuck in his wolf form and trapped at a zoo. When he finally gets a real scent of a worker that he’s been keeping an eye on makes him realize that she’s actually his mate. Like with all of this author’s books, this was a really good story and I really loved all of the characters. I really felt for Ashlee as she basically had her world flipped upside down right from the beginning. The only thing that bothered me was that it felt rushed in some places where I would’ve liked it to not have been. Beyond that, I highly recommend this story and can’t wait to read more from this series. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews
