Flirting With Scandal by Chanel Cleeton - Review


Release Date: May 19, 2015

The author of I See London sets her sights on Washington, D. C., with a sexy new series about three sisters, the secrets they keep, and a powerful blog with a knack for exposing scandals...

Jackie Gardner knows all about dirty little secrets. The illegitimate daughter of one of the most influential senators in Washington, D.C., she grew up surrounded by the scandals and shadows of politics. Now that she's landed an internship with a powerful political consulting firm, she's determined to launch her career and take this city by storm.

William Andrew Clayton was born for politics. He knows the drill: work hard, play discreetly, and at all costs, avoid scandal. At twenty-six, his campaign for the Virginia State Senate is the first step to cementing his future. It's time for him to settle down, to find the perfect political spouse. He needs a Jackie Kennedy, not a Marilyn... 

When Jackie meets Will in the bar of the Hay-Adams Hotel, sparks fly. But the last thing Will needs is to be caught in a compromising position, and an affair with a political candidate could cost Jackie her career. When what began as one steamy night, becomes a passion neither one of them can walk way from, they must decide if what they have is really love, or just another dirty little secret...

 ---------------------------- Amazon, B&N, Goodreads ----------------------------

Let me start by saying that Chanel Cleeton's International School series is one of my favorite contemporary romance series of all time. I was looking forward to reading Flirting With Scandal but didn't think it could possibly live up to my love of I See London and London Falling. I am happy to say that I was wrong.

Jackie is a different heroine than I usually read, not going to lie. She's sassy and straightforward and committed to not being committed to anything but her job. I loved how incredibly complex she was - at times, she was so sure of herself and at others, so completely lost. We get to follow along and see how strong and smart she is, especially when it comes to politics, as well as see her carefully constructed walls fall bit by bit as she realizes there might be more to her life than just being boss as her job.

It takes a certain story, with interesting characters and wonderful writing, for me to buy duel point of view. I loved reading Will's thoughts and seeing Jackie through his eyes. I gotta say, he seems to be the perfect man - sweet, charming, smart, sexy. I fell for him almost as quickly as Jackie. I'm not one to require some traumatized or damaged character, but I wish that there was something about Will that could be relatable to Jackie's messed up life, just a little. Will is still so incredibly swoon-worthy, I was banging my head against a wall when Jackie was being so stubborn.

I thought the novel did a good job balancing sexy times and normal times; normal as in, people doing everyday things, like Jackie actually doing her job in Will's campaign and her interactions with Mitch, Will's campaign manager. I liked seeing Jackie in her element and Will's struggles with the campaigning part of politics - it was an interesting dynamic with the politician being uncomfortable in his supposed element and the strategist being the more confident of the two. And those sexy times...phew *fans self*. Jackie and Will have incredible sexual chemistry and are a joy to read - hilarious and witty and smart, their quips make me laugh and swoon.

Flirting With Scandal was a wild emotional ride with two incredibly strong, charming characters that drew me in from the start. I loved their chemistry and the tensions surrounding politics, politicians, and political campaigns - the good and the bad, the pretty and the ugly. Cleeton created a sassy, sexy romance that I loved almost as much as I love Will, and I can't wait for Playing With Trouble.

City of Fae by Pippa DaCosta - Review

                                          
Release Date: May 7, 2015

From the moment Alina touches London's hottest fae superstar, breaking one of the laws founded to protect all of her kind, her fate – and the fae – close in.

Below ground, the fae High Queen plots to claim the city as her own and places her pawns, ready for the battle to come. A battle she cannot lose, but for one small problem – Alina. There are four ancient keepers powerful enough to keep the queen in her prison. Three are dead. One remains … And to fight back, Alina risks sacrificing everything she has come to love.

This New Adult urban fantasy is packed with action and suspense and will have you yearning for more forbidden fae romance.




---------------------------- Amazon, B&N, Goodreads ---------------------------- 

City of Fae is an urban fantasy full of action, romance, and creepy spiders. While it takes a while for the plot to really get going, once it does, it goes with a vengeance. Alina is a sassy and hilarious character in the midst of a sexy Fae rockstar and a  Fae-driven apocalypse and its as epic as it sounds.

It took a little while for me to really get into the story. Everything seems a little coincidental and rudderless for the first few chapters, Alina lusting after a story for a newspaper she no longer works for and Reign infuriatingly just showing up all the time for seemingly no reason. However, once Alina delves fully into Reign and the world of the Fae, the story picks up and wouldn't let me go (seriously, I was almost late for class).

Alina is a wonderful character, full of sass and wit and unwilling to fall prey to the fascination most humans have towards the mysterious and magical Fae. Reign, or Sovereign, is every bit the aristocratic, mysterious Fae that Alina believes him to be, at least in the beginning. City of Fae is filled with a wonderful cast of well developed and complex characters that will make you root for them and cry over the choices they have to make. 

The workings of the Fae, while still left a little vague, are interesting and original. Despite being called City of Fae, the story actually takes place in London, with the revelation that the magical land of Faerie exists somewhere else (somewhere we may get to see someday?!).  I loved the lore surrounding the Queen, and Pippa knows, apparently, that the way to make any creature terrifying and evil is to make her affiliated with spiders. 

City of Fae is a thrilling adventure into a world not quite like our own, where three touches can kill you and the biggest rockstar might not be human. Alina is sassy and hilarious, Reign is sexy and mysterious, and the two of them together make an fun and kick-ass pair. The stakes are high and time is limited as Alina and Reign race against the clock to try and save not only the city and everyone in it, but themselves - and their possible future together - as well.

Mortal Heart by Robin LaFevers - Review



In the powerful conclusion to Robin LaFever's New York Times bestselling His Fair Assassins trilogy, Annith has watched her gifted sisters at the convent come and go, carrying out their dark dealings in the name of St. Mortain, patiently awaiting her own turn to serve Death. But her worst fears are realized when she discovers she is being groomed by the abbess as a Seeress, to be forever sequestered in the rock and stone womb of the convent. Feeling sorely betrayed, Annith decides to strike out on her own.

She has spent her whole life training to be an assassin. Just because the convent has changed its mind, doesn’t mean she has.




---------------------------- Amazon, B&N, Goodreads ----------------------------

I read this on winter break from college, which meant the minute I was done with finals I scoured the web for books.  On a whim I bought Mortal Heart by Robin LaFevers, a book that I had overlooked for some reason (why, Jasmine, WHY), and then was up until 3AM finishing it.

I have to admit, I haven't read the first or second installments of His Fair Assassin, Grave Mercy and Dark Triumph.  I couldn't get into the characters in those, for some reason, though I enjoyed their cameos in Mortal Heart.  However, I found myself immediately drawn to Annith.  She is tortured for other reasons than recent trauma like her friends in the previous installments and the mystery behind her past is intriguing.  I was also enamored by the dichotomy in her character - she is quieter and more nurturing than most and yet just as skilled if not more so in the dark arts of Mortain.  Also, her weapon of choice is the bow and arrow and really, that's my weakness (sigh, Legolas).  I was so excited to see how her character interacted with the world outside of the convent (and her adventures do not disappoint).

Balthazar, the leader of the Hellequin, soldiers of Mortain that travel around and collect lost souls, is a wonderful character and the male counterpart to Annith.  I love Annith and Balthazar's witty banter and the air of mystery around their (chemistry ridden) relationship.  I'm not going to lie, I predicted most of the book after Annith meets Balthazar, such as Balthazar's secrets as well as the twists surrounding Annith's character.  However, this only added to the suspense I felt reaching the climax of the book, as I wondered how everything would be revealed and the outcomes of so many secrets.

 LaFevers created a complicated and layered world.  I loved the lore surrounding the Nine and how much we learn about Arduinna and Amourna.  I loved the tensions surrounding Annith's inner conflict about her purpose and devotion to Mortain, her interactions between those she meets on her journey to put the convent right, and the international conflicts, complete with an empress and Sybella and Ismae.

I loved this book and kick myself for not grabbing it the moment it was released.  But better late than never, right? The characters are complex, the world is deep, and the romance is authentic and sweet and burdened and...swoon.
If you enjoyed the lore and the romance in Mortal Heart, I recommend Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt (YA) and Kushiel's Legacy series by Jacqueline Carey (adult).

Robin LaFevers was raised on a steady diet of fairy tales, Bulfinch’s mythology, and 19th century poetry. It is not surprising she grew up to be a hopeless romantic.

Though she has never trained as an assassin or joined a convent, she did attend Catholic school for three years, which instilled in her a deep fascination with sacred rituals and the concept of the Divine. She has been on a search for answers to life’s mysteries ever since.

While many of those answers still elude her, she was lucky enough to find her one true love, and is living happily ever after with him in the foothills of southern California.

In addition to writing about teen assassin nuns in medieval Brittany, she writes books for middle grade readers, including the Theodosia books and the Nathaniel Fludd, Beastologist series. You can learn more about those books at www.rllafevers.com.

The Truth About Jack by Jody Gehrman - Review


Dakota McCloud has just been accepted into a prestigious art school. Soon she'll leave behind the artists' colony where she grew up―hippie dad, tofu since birth, yurt―and join her boyfriend and best friend on the East Coast. It was the plan…until Dakota finds out her boyfriend and best friend hooked up behind her back. 

Hurt and viciously betrayed, Dakota pours out her heart on a piece of paper, places it in a bottle, and hurls it into the ocean. But it doesn't quite go where she expects…

Jack Sauvage finds the bottle washed up on the shore and responds to Dakota's letter. Except what if his straight-laced life doesn’t jive with the free-spirited girl he’s only seen from afar? As Jack creates a persona he believes she’ll love, they slowly fall for each other with each new letter. Now Jack is trying to find a way to make this delicate, on-paper romance happen in real life…without revealing his deception.

---------------------------- Amazon, B&N, Goodreads ----------------------------

I'll be honest, finishing this book was a challenge. Here are some reasons why: 

The characters seem too eccentric and immature for Gehrman's often beautiful prose. I wanted more depth from both the characters, though I related much more to Jack than to Dakota. The story was slow to begin, and when the hitting blow came (spoiler: the best friend and boyfriend at college together kind of betrayal), it didn't affect me very much - maybe because I didn't really know or see Dakota and Cody's relationship or because I didn't believe it was that special or both. After that, I didn't really know what Dakota was looking for - she is hurt and angry but also so incredibly dramatic (as are most people in this story) - she hates boys and doesn't want to go to art school (even though it seems like art is the main love and constant in her life) and then decides she wants to go to Barcelona, tied with memories of her absent mom. I just wish that all these details had been related to us earlier and interwoven, and in a way other than long moments of internalization and retrospection, which felt tiresome and slow in the present tense. I liked Jack's character a lot more, his voice sounding more natural and genuine. Although I didn't really buy into his extravagant and strange lifestyle (his mom is nuts), I found his character much more believable.

Jack and Dakota's relationship and love didn't seem real to me. The letters seemed stilted to me somehow and I didn't really know why or how they really worked to relieve Dakota's turbulent feelings or what about them exactly made Jack so obsessed and attracted to her. Jack falls into lust at first sight with Dakota and until the last quarter of the book, I don't understand why he fell so hard. So much of his attraction is physical and surface-level - not that he likes her only for her looks but they he just notices how quirky and funny she is all the time, rather than really getting to know her. Even the letters that are supposed to be these messages of fate don't sound authentic or like they are really learning about one another (maybe because Jack is trying to incredibly hard to be someone he's not). Jack and Dakota don't even really hang out until the last few chapters, where I finally got hints of their interest in one another and actually enjoyed seeing their growing relationship but by then it becomes rushed and then BOOM there's a happy ending. Maybe a good summer read if you are desperate for a book with a happy ending for the beach but maybe not a great fit for those hardcore romantic readers.

There are moments in The Truth About Jack that are beautiful. Gehrman hints at the end of how much Jack and Dakota have helped one another and she uses wonderful imagery and lyrical prose to make some beautiful sentences.  Sometimes this came out in weird moments, though, and made the voices inconsistent and distracted from the development of the characters. I wish I could read some of her writing without the weight of trying to handle this plot, because overall, I enjoyed the writing.

The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan - Early Review


Release Date: April 7, 2015

"I might be Cinderella today, but I dread who they'll think I am tomorrow. I guess it depends on what I do next." 

American Rebecca Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister, Lacey, has always been the romantic who fantasized about glamour and royalty, fame and fortune. Yet it's Bex who seeks adventure at Oxford and finds herself living down the hall from Prince Nicholas, Great Britain's future king. And when Bex can't resist falling for Nick, the person behind the prince, it propels her into a world she did not expect to inhabit, under a spotlight she is not prepared to face.

Dating Nick immerses Bex in ritzy society, dazzling ski trips, and dinners at Kensington Palace with him and his charming, troublesome brother, Freddie. But the relationship also comes with unimaginable baggage: hysterical tabloids, Nick's sparkling and far more suitable ex-girlfriends, and a royal family whose private life is much thornier and more tragic than anyone on the outside knows. The pressures are almost too much to bear, as Bex struggles to reconcile the man she loves with the monarch he's fated to become.

Which is how she gets into trouble.

Now, on the eve of the wedding of the century, Bex is faced with whether everything she's sacrificed for love-her career, her home, her family, maybe even herself-will have been for nothing.

---------------------------- Amazon, B&N, Goodreads ----------------------------

This book is a perfect summer (spring? I'm in California, it feels like summer already) read. It's full of witty banter, crazy characters, and a wonderful love story. I found myself smiling so often throughout this book and it's a perfect romantic getaway.

The real focus and strong point of this book, in my opinion, are the relationships between the characters. The story of Bex and Nick is adorable. I really understood their friendship and that growth before it turned into the love story that is hinted at at the beginning of the book (the infamous Bexicon). I loved their witty banter and friendship and I loved seeing them around their crew of eccentric British friends. I loved Bex's relationship to her parents, especially her dad and her complicated relationship with Lacey. They all worked to build Bex up as a wonderful character and narrator. They were the driving force behind all the laughs and drama and sadness and I think that Heather and Jessica did a great job with their cast of characters. 

That being said, the form of the story was a little off and the plot was a little flat. The laughs are great and the romance swoon worthy but the writing was just fine and, to me, nothing spectacular. The retrospective form of the story was nice, because on the one hand you get to see how happy Bex and Nick are in the present and you know everything's going to turn out fine. On the other hand, you already know everything's going to turn out fine. Likewise, even though you know the story you are jumping in to, the plot was extremely predicable. It ran a little on the long side, despite the amount of time covered, because it just has a lot of content. While that content adds to the laughs and the eccentricity of the (wonderful) side characters, it got a little lengthy at times. 

This is a fictional William and Kate story (though probably with a lot more drinking and sleeping around and jokes about syphilis then any actual documentary about William and Kate). It's the perfect book to chuckle at and swoon over while chilling on the beach (or in your house, if you experience winter). If you are looking for a cute, funny, romantic happily ever after, this is the book for you!

Unborn by Amber Lynn Natusch - Review

Born into mystery. Shackled to darkness…

Khara has spent centuries discovering everything about the Underworld―except her place in it. But when she’s ripped from her home, solving the riddle of her origins becomes more important than ever. With evil stalking her through the dark alleys of Detroit, she finds salvation from an unlikely source: a group of immortal warriors sworn to protect the city. Khara needs their help to unravel the tangled secrets of who and what she is—secrets many seem willing to kill for. But time is running out, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer necessity binds her to an arrogant fallen angel.

Can their shaky alliance withstand that which threatens her, or will her soul fall victim to the unholy forces that hunt her―those that seek the Unborn?

From the author of the bestselling Caged series comes a pulse-pounding new romantic urban fantasy series.

---------------------------- Amazon, B&N, Goodreads ----------------------------

Unborn was new series to me and Amber Lynn Natusch a new author. The premise of Unborn and the world created is deep and interesting and is complete with a large cast of characters. While there were parts were a little slow and Khara's voice sometimes a little dry, the story as a whole was interesting and an enjoyable read. 

There is certainly no lack of supernatural creatures and lore in this series - demons and Greek gods and angels and other original creatures all coincide (though not at all peacefully) with one another. I really enjoyed learning about the world and how all of the supernatural elements work with the modern Detroit setting. I thought the world was deep and that Khara's place in between all the forces at work was interesting.

I loved the tensions between Khara and the group of hunters and Oz, the not-quite-fallen angel. While the complexities of Khara's birth and the battle's between all these supernatural elements are at the heart of the conflict, I was really drawn to the development of Khara's relationship with all these characters (cough especially Oz cough).

Khara as a character is complex. Her voice is a little hard to like, sometimes, just because it sounds a little archaic and straight-forward. While it fits with her character, it gets a little taxing sometimes. However, as the novel moved forward and she learned more about the world in which she had been thrust, her voice grew on me. Likewise, there are a lot of characters introduced in the beginning of the book and while they all have unique voices and purposes within the group, it became difficult for me to keep them all apart. There are also times throughout the book that seem to lose the pace a little bit, with long explanations of lore or with just the constant barrage of angry critters trying to get at Khara. 

Overall, Unborn is an interesting, if not a tad predictable, action-packed paranormal fantasy, with a strong female lead with a lot to learn and a large party of dudes willing to help teach her everything she needs to know. I'm excited to see where the rest of the series leads and how Khara (and her relationship with her newfound team) will develop.

Curse Unbroken by Cecy Robson - Early Review


Release Date: March 10, 2015

Fans of Keri Arthur will love the Weird Girls, four sisters cursed with supernatural powers. In Cecy Robson’s latest urban fantasy romance, the search is on for an unholy grail, while evil is licking its wounds—and looking for revenge.

The preternatural world is changing. After a massive magical throwdown tore apart the established order, the dark elements are rebuilding their ranks unopposed. Celia Wird’s world is changing, too. She’s the mate of the pureblood were Aric, and his Warriors are honor-bound to protect her family as she and her sisters recover from unimaginable horrors.

Celia hesitates to reveal the true extent of the Wird sisters’ trauma, but they aren’t the only ones keeping secrets: Aric and the werewolf Elders are tracking a stone that grants limitless power. So is a tough coven of witches. Then Misha, a master vampire with his own plans for the stone, sends Celia after it. Can she and the vamps beat both the weres and the witches to the treasure before it falls into the wrong hands?

Fearing for Celia’s safety, Aric begs her to stay out of the hunt. What they don’t realize is that they’re the ones being hunted. But Celia’s ready to prove that she’s not easy prey.

---------------------------- Amazon, B&N, Goodreads ----------------------------

Hum baby. If you thought that Celia's life couldn't get any more complicated, you thought wrong. Luckily, we have one amazing heroine and her band of possessive wolves and crazy sisters to help her out. 

While I was finally wondering if I'd reached my limit with terrible things happening to Celia, Robson handled the endless obstacles well. It helps that her main character is so strong and just as fed up with all the trouble as the reader. I liked seeing her reach a final breaking point - how she finally took control, over the Pack, over Misha and his vampires, over witches (yes, witches), over everyone who is in the way of her and her happiness with Aric. It was wonderful to see her grow (who knew she still had space!?) and really come into her own as a woman and a woman in a leadership role, however unwilling she may be to take up that mantle.

Celia and Aric's relationship is wonderful and it's nice to see them presented as a united front rather than separate. While everything around them is up in the air and in chaos, it is refreshing and lovely to see how they approach of this stuff together. That being said, my heart broke a little over the lasting consequences of the A Cursed Bloodline, and while A Curse Unbroken had an ending that I am very pleased with, I am happy that the rest of the weird girls will be explored more in Taran's own series. I have always loved how developed and wonderful Celia's sisters and the secondary characters in the series were, and I can't wait to see more of them. I also enjoyed learning more about the witches and their relationships to the other supernatural groups in the Weird Girls' world, especially since details about the sisters' curse are revealed.

A Curse Unbroken is high action, high romance, high stakes finale. It promises all of the struggle and sacrifice as the previous books, as well as the swoon-worthy romance and laugh out loud comedy. This is one of my favorite urban fantasy series and this finale did not disappoint. It was a joy to read and while I am sad to say goodbye to Celia's voice, I am happy with the knowledge that my time with this lovable, dysfunctional, and weird family isn't over.
