Review of Last Alpha by Ruby Fielding - 4 Stars


Jenny Lane is a semi-successful werewolf story blogger who follows leads on the next story, looking for any kind of validation that they might be real. Her latest tip has landed her in the Highlands of Scotland. She arrives at the castle of billionaire Mr. Carr, a man who has hired a team of scientists to come up with a serum that will create werewolf shifters. While there, she runs in to Billy Stewart, a man she had seen in the Spring. Last time she had seen him, Billy's intensity and his feelings caused her to flee and avoid him. Eventually, being around him has reminded her how much she enjoyed being with him. This time, his intense feelings for her don't make her flee. As they grow closer, weird things start to happen. She's  not sure if she can trust Billy and crazy things he's telling her, but something inside her won't let her stay away.
I found Jenny Lane to be a very interesting character. Many female characters in Paranormal books tend to have self-confidence or the subject is kind of avoided, but Jenny is not like this. While she has started finding success with her blog, which also led to YouTube success, she is self-depreciating about it and doesn't really see herself being particularly successful in the field of journalism. When she starts to examine Billy's feelings towards her, she views herself as just ordinary and throughout the book she doesn't see herself as someone who deserves to be so loved by someone else. The way the author writes her, rather than her being annoying with self-pity, I found her very relatable and real. While there's not as good a picture of Billy, it's not really necessary because we only see him in Jenny's POV. Basically, he's spent his life hoping he's not alone, and then when he finds Jenny, basically, his life is all about his feelings for her.
I really liked this book. This is the first modern book that's taken place in the Highlands that I've read in a long time. The author didn't make it obvious about what was happening (which I appreciate) and I loved the wolve's POV. I would definitely recommend.

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 of The Wedding Reject Table by Angela Britnell

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maggie was at a wedding reception and at the reject table, met a handsome man named Chad Robertson. He was from Tennessee and he was an attorney. Maggie was a cake decorator and childhood friend of Fiona, the bride. Maggie and her sister Emily had formed Two Heart Catering two months before. Emily called Maggie away from Chad as the cake had been ruined. Maggie was the responsible and reliable half of the company. Emily was the creative cook. Chad was attracted to Maggie and recently he had decided he was bored. Emily is the drama queen, and even though she's younger, Maggie has been brought up to take care of her. Maggie is a very loyal and responsible person. She can be very caring and loving. She can also be stubborn at times. She was usually very sensible who learned to let go some and also found love. I liked her character. Chad was a charming Southern man. He was a good guy, kind and caring. He changed thro
