One part Pride and Prejudice.

One part Romancing the Stone.

All the feels.

 

Don't miss this laugh-out-loud, action-packed romantic comedy, new from bestselling author Kaitlyn Davis, writing as Kay Marie.

 

Agent Leo Alvarez is on his way to Hawaii when his partner calls in a favor--the mob is after a pastry chef in NYC, and he's the only one who can get to her in time. With his dreams of Mai Tais and sandy shores ruined, Leo rushes to her rescue. But when he arrives at her apartment, he's greeted by an upturned nose and an icy blue stare. This damsel in distress doesn't need saving. Good thing he's a retired marine who never backs down without a fight.

 

After a childhood racked by scandal, McKenzie Harper has learned to loathe surprises. So when a strange man knocks on her door, interrupting her morning routine, she has no choice but to politely shut it in his face--no matter how deeply his hazel eyes might pierce. She has places to go, pastries to bake, and promotions to secure. Or she did, until three masked men kidnap her and throw her into the back of a van... Suddenly, that white knight doesn't seem so scary.

 

He's a cocky Fed with a killer smile. She's an uptown beauty with a biting tongue. If they want to survive, they'll have to learn to work together--assuming they don't kill each other first.

 

**To Catch a Thief is a romantic comedy series that's one part humorous and one part heartfelt, with a dash of adventure, a hint of criminal activity, and a whole heap of fun! Each book is a stand-alone romance with a HEA.

Skye thinks she is having a panic attack .Rapidly beating heart that shows no time of slowing down, inability to breathe resulting in the strangest sounds escaping her lips, fingers shaking so it took three times to press the button on the elevator, Feeling totally and completely detached from her surroundings well she does know she is in front of her apartment door but has no memory of the subway ride or the ten minute walk that got her to her apartment building. Skye feels this won’t stop , she is a farce, A complete and utter farce. This won’t be over until she tells Bridge- her roommate and best friend-  the truth, not until she tells someone the truth. Bridge was in the kitchen, Skye says she has t tell Bridge something and she didn’t want Bridge to say anything she was done because it’s freaking her out and if she doesn’t say it now she doesn’t think she ever will. Freshman year Skye reminded her when she had said she wasn’t a virgin but really she still was. After interning at the newspaper she got offered a job. They wanted her to write a column- a sex column. And Skye had said yes. Then she hears a voice but not her roommate Bridge but Bridget’s brother Oliver/Ollie. Skye is in love with Ollie always has been.  And she hasn’t seen him in four years The last time Skye and Ollie had seen each other had been the most horrifying night of Skye’s life. Ollie said he supposed Bridge forgot to tell her he got a job as a sous chef at a new steakhouse opening up on 5th Ave, he also added he probably didn’t tell her that he was moving in with them for a few weeks until he found his own place. Skye wonders if Ollie is thinking about that night four years ago. When Bridget found out she was still a virgin, she was confused as Skye had been with John for three and a half years with John in college and she had said she was a virgin when playing a game in her Freshman year. John wanted to wait until marriage but that was only when he could picture himself spending hi life with the woman. He had cheated on Skye with a band girl. Now Skye goes out with some coworkers from work. Then she met one of her coworker Blythe  brothers Patrick. Patrick and Skye start dating and advance to Patrick being her boyfriend. Skye goes to Bridget and Ollie’s childhood home for Thanksgiving.Ollie stayed in the city as holidays were very busy at the restaurant. Skye is hit with memories. Skye goes to Ollie’s room and remembers the night four years ago Ollie had picked Bridge and her up and they were drunk and she wanted Ollie so much. Bridget and Skye were to leave for their first day of college the next day. Normally Skye would be the sober one, the designated driver. But not tonight. Skye goes to Ollie’s room after Bridget has passed out. And she tells Ollie that she loves him. Then Ollie kisses her and the y end up half undressed on his bed and when she says “Ollie”that breaks the spell and he tells her she should leave their room. Then he added he stopped because he didn’t feel anything. He said to forget this ever happened and be fiends like they've always been. Skye left with tears on her cheeks and has since avoided Ollie at all costs when she could until now.

I really enjoyed this book except the ending was kind of a cliffhanger, it did leave you hanging. I know this is probably a lead to a next  book but still this did take a little enjoyment for me even though I didn’t hate it. I loved Bridget and Skye’s relationship as well as Skye’s relationship with her mom and Bridget’s parents. I loved Skye and Ollie together I loved how they interacted together also. I really enjoyed the plot ad the pace of this book. I would have liked to have rated this 4.75. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend.

Kira Dawson has the power to burn vampires to a crisp. The problem is, she doesn't know it yet. The even bigger problem is, she's dating one.

When Kira Dawson moves to South Carolina, she meets Luke, a blond goofball who quickly becomes her best friend, and Tristan, a mysterious bad boy who sends shivers down her spine. Kira knows they're keeping secrets, but when she discovers Tristan's lust for blood and her own dormant mystical powers, Kira is forced to fight for her life and make the heart-breaking decision between the familiar comfort of friendship and the fiery passion of love.

Ignite was another book from Tea's Wishlist challenge. I did enjoy this book, even though I found it slow at first. We have a familiar setting of a girl that moves to a new place, makes friends and enemies right away, and discovers secrets. And, it turns out the boy she loves is a vampire.



The first though I have in the first chapters, and I believe you did too, was - Twilight much? But, no. Once you get to read further into the book, you realise that Kira is nothing like Bella. And Tristan is nothing like Edward either...

This book is so different, and somewhat refreshing from all vampire books I have read so far. It isn't even a book about vampires. It's a book about this girl that can mirror the sun's light and heat from her hands, and is able to hurt only vampires. With her friend, Luke, Kira will discover that she has this ability, and so much more, she will discover secrets about her past that will change her life forever, and she will have to choose between her best friend or the love of her life.

I thought that this book might have used more action, as I felt a bit bored, especially at the beginning, and sometimes during some parts of the book.

I loved Kira's character - she is the typical girl that moves and tries her best to fit in.
I loved Tristan - he proves that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, and sometimes people aren't what everyone thinks they are, and your environment doesn't define you as a person.
I didn't like Luke - I know he was there with a mission to tell Kira her secrets and protect her - but what friend would make you feel guilty about every single choice you have to make in your life. He is like, the very attached and overprotective boyfriend, that isn't her boyfriend.

Overall, it was a great refreshing read, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. If you love vampire high-school stories, women that discover they have powers, a lot of forbidden love and paranormal fantasy - you will really enjoy this book. Solid 4 stars from me!

The Iron Rider concludes A Dance of Dragons as it is the final companion novella to the main series. While these stories don't add too much to the main series, if you liked Princess Leena, you will want to pick this up. It's not too long, and can easily be read in a single sitting. It's decent, although the main events in this story go a bit too smooth I think.

Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Shatter - Kaitlyn Davis Things are finally looking up for Pandora. She can now live her life without having to look over her shoulder expecting someone to be there trying to kill her and no more being chased through the shadows. Pandora can now lead her life the way she sees fit with the boy she is in love with, Jax. The whole world is hers if she wants.

Pandora has killed the monster that has been chasing her. When she tells the titans what she has done they are not as happy about it as she is as they do not believe that the monster is dead.

Just as Pandora starts to think the world is safe once again; she starts to wonder if the titans may be correct in thinking the monster is still alive. The war she thought was over may just be beginning. If the monster is still alive and Pandora can’t find a way to stop him for good then it may just spell the end of the world. Can Pandora stop the monster? Is the monster even still alive? Can Pandora save the world? Can she stop the ending from coming?

I fell in love with the Midnight Ice world from the first book Frost following Pandora, Jax and Sam through the shadows. This has been an amazing journey one in which I hate to see end. The Midnight Ice world is filled with twist after twist that keeps you glued to the pages wanting to find out what is going to happen next.

I would like to suggest that you give the Midnight Ice world a try that is if you like visiting the paranormal world or just like a good fantasy to read every now and again.
