Interesting Start
Format: Kindle
I have a harder time with why choose books that take place in contemporary versus fantasy books, because oftentimes the scenarios required to make it work just seem to out there for me. I felt like this book kind of strayed into that territory. The whole basis of the book is that Josephine accidentally sees something she honestly does not really even understand and the four guys solution is basically to kidnap her and make her live with them in their home. There was a bit of suspension of disbelief required for me in this book.
That being said there were some things I did enjoy in this book. I felt like the men in this book were interesting and different from one another. They weren’t just cut out of hot football players that have the same personalities and ideals. Personally, for me, I really preferred Kylian because he was the nerdy guy, and that just works for me. He also has some sensory sensitivities and because of that and his coping mechanisms he has the ability to connect more with Jo than any of the other guys given her backstory.
Josephine as a character is okay for me, I’m interested to see how she evolves. She has a complex/tragic backstory which I think will play into things a lot more in the next books to come. I do think she goes along with the scenario waaaayyyy to quickly and almost passively, which I have a hard time buying into.
Overall, I want to see where the next book goes, given it does end with high stakes and a cliffhanger.

Gah! My heart! These boys! So much love!
Format: Kindle
I have so much love in my heart for this book. While that cliffhanger was absolutely atrocious and soul wrecking, I couldn't begin to explain the obsession that has begun in my bones. These characters are delicious, their interactions are so strong and real, and their pasts, their trauma, are so heartfelt and elicit all the feels. I love them, I love their stories, the details and relationships are so poignant that I craved every moment of this journey. I seriously devoured this book, I could not put it down, well into early dawn hours just to finish. It was like breathing, and I didn't want to stop. Abby has a serious new fan, and I'm so happy to have stumbled upon this book and author. Now, I absolutely have to get to the next one because I'm suffocating with the need for Kylian and the others, of course. Soo so worth it!

Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn
Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance
“More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.”
Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice!
Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin.
Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur.
Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with.
Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust.
This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!!
