And, again, KA Knight knocked another Courts & Kings book out of the park! Court of Beasts is set around the same world as the previous books but it is centered on the Red Mountain wolf pack, which has Jang as alpha, and Quinn as his daughter. Quinn has had a traumatic past and suffered the loss of people very close to her and whom she loved more than anything at the hands of the Hunters. After that tragic event, she tried her best to prove she deserved to be part of the pack and could lead them all into a better future. Everything she did was for the pack, she helped and thought of everyone before thinking of herself and when the hunters' threat gets closer than ever before, her loyalty and strength will be put to the test. The hunters, Vale, Lucien, and Jai, were raised in the hunter world, where they learned to hunt and k!ll the monsters that hunt innocent humans. However, somewhere along the way, the senior hunters stopped thoroughly checking the threats to make sure they were eliminating the bad monsters. These three men will bring forward a change in that outdated thinking, but not with a lot of sacrifice first.
This book was absolutely amazing! Filled with action, fast-paced, and a LOT of smut, it was perfect for me. I could not put it down and I devoured it every time I could. I also was absolutely sobbing by the end of it so bad that my husband came to ask me what was happening. Whoever reads this book will know which part I'm talking about, oh my god, I was destroyed and my heart broke so badly for all of them. The ending though, the reward he got for what he did was beautiful and he deserved that more than anyone. I also loved how there was mention of Althea and the new hunter boss, Angel, and how the queens are all rising and will be the ones to bring forward the change their world needs. Anyway, I loved this book, as I do each of Katie's books and I'm so thankful I got to read an ARC of it. Now I'll be patiently (or not so much) waiting for the next book, Court of Heathens, especially after that epilogue.
Tropes in this book: - Bad*ss FMC - Enemies to lovers - Reverse harem - Blood play - Possessive/protective mmcs - Dark paranormal fantasy romance - a LOT of spicy scenes
“Fuck.” He groans against my lips, the sound husky and so fucking sexy. “Why do you taste so good?” He licks my lips, rubbing himself against me. “Like the freshest fruit. Forbidden.” He nips my lip. “Do you taste that sweet everywhere?” “You’ll never find out,” I tease, nipping his lip again. “Want to bet, she-wolf?” He murmurs before deepening the kiss.
“Good girl, you’re doing so well, she-wolf. Shit, you should see how you’re taking us both. You are stretched so wide for us, your greedy little cunt leaking around him. Does he feel good, Quinn?” She nods, but I grip her head, yanking it up with a snarl. “Use your words, she-wolf.” “Yes, yes, he feels good.” She groans. “So good, please.”
“I caught you, my prey. Now I can eat you,” I murmur, “like we all wanted to do in that cage.” Her heart skips a beat, and her legs tighten around me as I smirk, pricking her skin with my fangs. “You want to be fucked, Quinn. You want to be used, tied up, and forced. You want to be dominated, and that’s exactly what we are doing, baby. Now, be a good little prey and scream for me.” ...more
Oh my God... I can't stop bawling my eyes out! This book... Dear God, Jescie, this book wrecked me! I thought I was ready afte"It's us. It has to be."
Oh my God... I can't stop bawling my eyes out! This book... Dear God, Jescie, this book wrecked me! I thought I was ready after reading one of your most emotional books, Hawke, but hell no I was not ready. In every single scene with Colin, I broke down, I seriously could feel the love and care Dylan had for her brother. It was soooo profound, so heartbreakingly beautiful, God, I just know I'll never recover from this book and I'll reread this as much as I possibly can. It was seriously one of the most beautiful and touching books I've read in forever. The emotional load of this story was so deep.
Lake was a famous football player, an up and coming athlete that was quickly becoming one of the best. Until an injury took him out of the game. But that did not break him, his determination and will to reach his goal made him look for the best physiotherapist out there, the one that helped another player that got back on the field faster than anyone expected and that's exactly what Lake needed. His reasonings behind his rush to go back to the field were deeper than anyone thought and so so beautiful. He was working hard but not for himself, he was trying to make the most important person in his life proud of him.
Dylan was a physiotherapist on the rise, she was smart and went above and beyond to provide the best care for her patients with the goal of reaching high into the NFL and working with a therapy team there. But, just as Lake, she didn't want the dream job, the big league job for the money, no, she had a lot more riding behind that, someone that needed and depended on her more than anyone realized. She was a rock, the strongest person out there fighting for a chance and a life her and her person deserved.
Lake and Dylan were as much opposites as they were similar. They were both determined as h*ll, both worked hard for what they wanted and both had a lot more to lose than they expected. But, life always happens in a way we don't expect, and these two will go through a lot until finding their place.
This book was absolutely amazing! I loved every second of it and I could not put it down, I read whenever I had the time and stayed up late as much as I could. Was I a mess at work the next days? Sure was, but it was so worth it!! I seriously went to sleep with a smile on my face because this story was so beautiful. I sobbed so many times like a baby, I literally carried a box of tissues with me because I knew I'd be bawling my eyes out sooner than expected. It was heartbreakingly beautiful, I loved it with all my heart. Really, I'm at a loss of word to express how beautiful, profound and amazing this book was. So so good!

The Hunt by Alice Ward. Standalone. The easiest 5 stars of my life!!!
Oh. My. God. What was this book? I must admit that I am beginning to get bored with this erotica/romance stories because they are always the same storyline, blah blah blah. But, WOW, how Alice gave this thought a nice slap. This book was amazing!!!! My God, I cried like a baby and laughed even more. This book was totally different than anything I've read before.
Caitlyn and KP are struggling with so much, both with issues with their loved ones and how they can't do anything to change what is happing. The feeling of loss is really touching in this book and made me think about how important some people are to us and we only acknowledge that when something bad happens or when they're on their way to pass. I loved how they found support and peace in each other and how their love was growing during the book and not this "love at first sight" kind a book.
My God. I loved this book so much. Their losses almost break me too. I could feel everything and I couldn't put this book down as soon as I started. I loved the epilogue and how Wenton made their lives even better with the hunt.
Alice Ward, you did it again! Really, this time, I bow to you. This book is so much more than just a hot guy on the cover. Thank you so much for writing this!!...more

Cherry has a way with words that's unbelievable. She just knows how to transport the reader into the story in a way that made me feel everything. Everything! This story is breathtaking and heartbreaking. Every time something went wrong I felt my heart breaking for Shay and Landon. They just deserved their HEA so bad!
It was just mind-blowing. I'm still processing everything.

Oh my… I’d never imagined Landon to be this much. He was so much more than the little glimpses shown in Eleanor & Grey. God, he was so much more. This was really heartbreaking. I just wanted to hug Landon so much. He deserved it. He was trying so hard and he was making it work during a time that most people would’ve given up already.
This book has all the feels. I swear, you won’t regret reading it, just get read to really feel it. It’s amazing. My heart is so full for Landon and Shay, I can’t wait to see what happens to them at book 2. ...more

If he loved Dakota for so long, he should’ve ended it. I know he didn’t do it out of respect for the family but he could’ve done it right. But still, if Quinn was alive, I don’t think Dakota and Easton would ever be together. It’d feel too wrong. (hide spoiler)]
But the story was amazing! I couldn’t put it down and I loved everything about it! I really wish there were more books about the secondary characters like Hope, Roman and Talon. They were great and I was curious if Hope and Roman would end up together.
Anyway, it was a great story and I loved it!...more

She’s my hell on Earth. My temptress. My Angel.
Gabriel is an MMA fighter in the Black Ops team. Frankie is a physical therapist for the team. But, she is Austin's girlfriend for the past nine years. Austin is also an MMA fighter for the Black Ops. Austin and Frankie met when they were teenagers and they've been together ever since. But, the last few years have not been easy on them, especially Frankie. Austin is distant and changing more and more every day. Frankie always felt bad for the connection she felt instantly with Gabriel but both of them never acted on it. Until Austin went rogue and did some damage he could never repair. That's when Gabriel spets in, finally claiming what was always his.
“You’re mine now, Angel.” Not fucking his. “You’ve always been mine.”
This book was AMAZING! I love MMA books and I'm so happy I found these. I can't wait to read about Rowdy and the rest of the series....more

Anyway, this story is so unique, it’s amazing... Cheyenne is an incredible character, she’s unique, and even though she definitely carries a lot of weight on her shoulders, she does it with a smile on her face. It was just amazing...

Oh goodness... Teagan does it ag"I hate Drew Woods. But not because I don’t like her. I hate her because I do like her…and she won’t let me have her."
Oh goodness... Teagan does it again. I really thought, after the first book, things would get repetitive or I'd just lose interest like it usually happens when I read the rest of a book series. But, wow, how wrong I was. This one was amazing! I really could feel everything and really felt for both Winston and Drew. God, the things these two went through... Anyway, Drew is Wren's best friend, from the first book, and Winston is Wren's brother. They all met when Drew went to work at a pizzeria that was owned by Wren and Winstons' dad. Wren and Drew became best friends instantly and Winston became her enemy just as fast. But all of it had a reason behind it and it was amazing to figure these two out. I loved reading this story and I just can't wait for the next one!! This series is quickly becoming a favorite of mine, for sure....more

I've been on a Mariana Zapata "marathon" for a week or a little more I think and I couldn't be happier. She's a great writer and I love all her characters. I love even more that all her characters cross over some way or the other in her books. Specially after the news today that Zack, from The Wall of Winnipeg and Me and Bianca from The Best Thing, are getting their own book, Hands Down, and I'm so happy!!! Can't wait for that one.
Anyway, this book was so sweet! After I realized that Jasmine was Ruby's sister, from Dear Aaron, I actually squealed and rolled my eyes because I should've known that instead of just figuring it out after I started reading it. It was so sweet to see them again and it make me want to reread Dear Aaron, which I think I might. I loved this story, it was really sweet but I loved even more how Jasmine was so strong and honest, how she didn't let anyone run over her and was ready to defend her dreams and everyone she loves. It was a beautiful book and I loved reading it. <3...more

I started reading Mariana's books last week and I can't seem to stop. They're so so good!!! And it was amazing seeing Iris and Dex, from Under Locke again, and knowing Vanessa and Aiden are in it too, even though I still haven't read The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, which I plan to do next, but I love when characters cross like this, it makes all the stories a lot more special than they already are.
Anyway, I loved every second of this book, it was so filled with adrenaline that I could not put the book down (only when I absolutely had to) but even then I couldn't stop thinking about the story. It was amazing, I love when I instantly fall in love with a good book. This one will definitely get into my reread list soon....more
Whoa... I did not expect so much angst. So much was happening right at the beginning of the book, like at 20% a lot had happened already and I could aWhoa... I did not expect so much angst. So much was happening right at the beginning of the book, like at 20% a lot had happened already and I could already feel that the other shoe would drop and it would drop epically. I was really curious about Lance in the previous two books and couldn't wait to read his story. I knew that there'd be a lot more to him than his football status.
Lance was a football player in college that ended up following a different dream at the end. After not being drafted, he realized that football was his past time and boxing was his passion. That's when he started focusing on that and in trying to go pro as a boxer. Harper had a really big impact on that. She was the one to push him into it. Harper was a dancer. The football coach's daughter. She did not have an easy life. Harper knew she was not conventionally beautiful and for that, she suffered a lot in life, all this stigma and pattern of beauty made her suffer a lot. Meeting Lance was a "path-changer". He saw her deep inside, and they were more alike than either of them realized.
God, this book... It wracked my heart so many times. Especially with the playlist the author made. Each scene had different music, and with that on the background, it made the book so much more everything. It was crazy, I could really feel the words and whatever they were going through. Man, it was just breathtaking. Also, to finally know what Troy's fight in the second book was all about, everything made sense after that. I love how Kate connected everything. Anyway, this was just so breathtaking and heartbreaking. It was incredible. I loved it!! I'm sad to be saying goodbye to these characters but I loved meeting them. Incredible series....more

Esse drama do bad boy se apaixonando é bem batida mas esse livro consegue trazer essa trama para um outro nível com seus assuntos inesperados. Toda essa situação de outras dimensões, visões e destino criaram uma atmosfera incrível no livro, me fazendo ficar viciada e completamente apaixonada e curiosa para saber o final. Aliás, aquele final?!?! Foi de ARREPIAR!!! Não conseguia parar de ler o livro, tinha que saber como isso tudo ia acabar. E, quando eu achei que tudo tinha acabado? Quase morri!!!

I've been waiting to read Tim's story since forever after I finished Drifter, Hayes' story). This book wrecked me. I don't know who made me cry more, Tim or Oliver. Man, this little boy left my heart wide open and cracked at every little struggle in his life. It was such an emotional read, it was incredible! I really love this series, it's definitely one of my favorites ever. I'm even thinking of rereading it because it's that good.
For those who read the series, you know all these characters and their situations. But for new readers, even though this one can be read as a standalone, you'll enjoy much much more if you read it from book 1. I love these characters so much. Each one of them has a special place and special stories to tell. I love how this author always brings new subjects into the story and strong female characters that bring those Marines to their knees. It's amazing to read and it's impossible to keep the smile for your face while reading it. I loved it! It's a 5-star read and it was breathtaking.
I'm really curious if Kristy will continue the series with Mason and Kane. I can't wait to read about these two. And, the news at the end of this book made me so happy, three of the girls pregnant, that house will be filled with little babies and I can't wait to read about those Marines taking care of those little ones. Amazing read, amazing series! You rock, Kristy! ...more

Jimmy, theMan, oh man... Ah, how I love to read about troubled men. It just makes the story so much sweeter and perfect. And this one was no different.
Jimmy, the lead singer of Stage Dive, after rehab and going through a rough time, needs a sobriety companion and Lena was just the girl to the job. She was Adrian's assistant, the band manager that no one likes but she was about to get fired because he's a douche, that's when Malcolm, aka the best of all, decided to inquire Lena to do the job of being Jimmy's live-in sobriety friend. That's when it all started.
This book was amazing! It had so many emotions and I felt so much for Jimmy, he was so much more. He was mysterious but he had his reasons and he protected David, Jimmy's little brother, more than anyone ever imagined. He was a hero that worked quietly but suffered a lot with the consequences of carrying that much weight on his shoulders. I loved it. I could not put it down unless I absolutely had to. It was so so beautiful! I cried a lot with Lena and Jimmy. Also, I love how this author leaves hints of the next couples in the previous books, and how Mal has always something to do with helping said couples get together. Mal is just the best, I love him. Anyway, can't wait to read Ben's book. He's so buffy and big, I can't wait for love to bring him to his knees....more

Sério, que livro incrível!!! Era tudo que eu estava procurando! Passei quase um dia todo procurando minha próxima leitura e não estava achando nada que me interessasse ou me deixasse curiosa sobre a estória, então eu vi esse livro no meu kindle de uma das minhas autoras favoritas ever e não podia deixar passar. Comecei logo o livro e não consegui parar. Se eu não tivesse que ir trabalhar, teria lido de uma vez só, sem me arrepender. Mesmo querendo que a estória durasse para sempre, queria devorar o livro ao mesmo tempo, doida para saber o que ia acontecer com esses personagens e com o futuro de Himmel. Estou completamente apaixonada por esse livro, pelo enredo, pelos personagens, pelo mundo novo que Laura criou. Foi simplesmente uma leitura maravilhosa! Com certeza irei reler no futuro, que é o que acontece com a maioria dos livros dessa autora, releio todos eles mil vezes e a cada releitura sinto ainda mais pelos personagens e pela estória.
Esse livro é repleto de aventura, novidades, suspense, ação, drama, romance e muita diversão. Amei conhecer Luz, ela é maravilhosa, sempre expressando seus sentimentos sem medo e se mostrando um livro aberto para todos. Rex estava sempre pronto para ação e com total determinação para seu plano, ele só não esperava se apaixonar pela pessoa mais inesperada, diferente e estranha que ele encontrou.
Eu simplesmente AMEI, AMEI, AMEI!!! L.C. Almeida, VOCÊ É INACREDITÁVEL! Obrigada por ser tão maravilhosa e trazer todos essas estórias e personagens às nossas vidas. <3...more

I’m speechless, I’m a blubbering mess! I have a huge lump in my throat and I can’t stop crying! Oh my God... this book, everyone...
The last time I felt this emotional about a story was when I read Me Before You, years ago. I cried like I never did. Actually, I never cry like this. Oh God, I had to stop several times to breath and stop being a mess so I could continue reading because it’s just so amazing, it’s beautiful but oh so heartbreaking. (view spoiler)[This is for sure the first book that doesn’t end in a complete happy ending for the couple that I loved it. 5 stars definitely. (hide spoiler)]
I don’t know how to fully express how much I loved this book. I connected with the story right on the first page. It’s super well written, easy going and it kept me paying attention and imagining all the details. I know there’s a movie already about this book but I can’t seem to see Will as that actor and I just can’t see the movie quite yet. I have this perfect imagine of Will in my head and I have to stick to it.
That ending was extraordinary! The last chapter was heartbreaking, I was actually sobbing right along with (view spoiler)[Stella (hide spoiler)]. Also, (view spoiler)[that part about Poe, my God... he didn’t deserve that. I loved him and I cried like a baby when he died. It broke my heart. (hide spoiler)]

Ahhh, this was such a sweet book, I'm in love again with Taylor and Hunter! *-* After reading the first book, I couldn't imagine another one for them bAhhh, this was such a sweet book, I'm in love again with Taylor and Hunter! *-* After reading the first book, I couldn't imagine another one for them because that ending was really cute and didn't leave anything for imagination but after reading Jos' book, this third one made perfect sense and it just fitted perfectly with the rest of the series. In this book, we see Taylor and Hunter a lot more mature, even more in love and ready for life. After unexpected news, things will change and it was the thing that could break or make them forever. And I just have to say it was an adventure to follow these two again and to be into their lives again, it was amazing! I love this couple so much, it's one of my favorite book couples ever.
A couple of things that I think would've been perfect here were that Tawny and Sarah (?) (Hunter's friend) would've been a perfect couple. Also, I've liked to see more about Jos' friend, Hannah. I loved her in the previous book and I was curious if she ended up with that guy that I now forgot his name.
But, nevertheless, it was a perfect finale for this amazing couple! <3...more
