I was able to read ten books in the month of February (7 novels, 1 novella, and 2 fanfics). In comparison to last January, I believe my reading month in February was quite satisfactory✨ I was also able to read 5 of my tbr this month, and the other 1 I was unable to read; hopefully, I will be able to do so this month.
I'm getting back into fanfictions in the last week of February, and I'll probably be reading more of them in the first and second weeks of March🙈
Anyway, here are the books I read in February✨
1. Woven Souls (Broken Vows #2)- ★★★.25
2. Edge of Woods Road (Driven by Despair #1)- ★★★
3. Games with the Orc (Monster Smash Agency #1)- ★★★
4. Wild Hearts (Paradise #2)- ★★.5
5. Shatter Girl- ★
6. In the Shadow of a Hoax (Fareview Fairytales #2)- ★★★.75
7. When She Tempts- ★★
8. The Vixen's Deceit (Peculiar Tastes #4)- ★★★
9. All You Want- ★★★★★
10. Three Wizards and a Baby- ★★★★
“I understand the appeal of the action and adventure, but explain the romance to me,” I said. “How does a modern, independent woman balance the acts of kidnapping and stalking with the attraction and sexual tension?”
“Ok, it’s different for everyone. I can only speak to what I think.” She bit her lip before taking another sip of her whipped cream topped drink.
My cock twitched with interest when she licked the whipped cream from her lip. I had to focus on her eyes. Not the perfect shape of her plump lips or how they would taste, or how they would look around my cock.
Focus. Man. .
“For me, personally…” she hedged. “It’s about losing control and feeling desired.”
“What do you mean?”
“Look at me.” She shrugged.
“I haven’t been able to take my eyes off of you all night.”

Hidden Nature
Omega Assassin Book 2
Why Choose Paranormal Romance
by Elizabeth Knight
Assassin.
Omega.
And now Elf. Just how many different roles can I play?
The mission the Organization sent me on to atone for failing the last one turned out to be a trap. The whole thing had been a set up in the hopes of selling me off in an auction run by the Dark Ring. What I don’t know is who was behind setting the trap. The more I learn, the more I come to discover that the world I thought I knew is all lies.
Unsure of who to trust, I lean on the men who found their way into my heart and refuse to leave. My mates are learning their new roles as I’m learning to control my magic. My Guide, and newest mate, is an elf and the only one who can teach me what it means to have this new power. Unfortunately if anyone learns what I’m truly capable of, I’ll become an even bigger target than I already am.
As we try to figure out our next move it becomes clear that the more we dig, the more we uncover, and none of it is good.
Is our current way of life worth saving, or is it better to tear it all down and start again? Are there even people out there worthy to lead the supernatural world? How did these questions and their outcome fall on my shoulders?
Together the eight of us will fight to protect what’s ours no matter what we uncover or whose lives we have to take in the process.
If you are at all interested in an urban fantasy, murder mystery, reverse harem, with book characters that have come to life- Steffanie Holmes’ Nevermore Bookshop Mysteries series has a kickstarter campaign (ending on July 29th, 2022) for exclusive hardback editions with foiled covers and they are beautiful!
Currently the first four books in the series are part of the campaign- but with another $700 NZD (New Zealand Dollars) the next stretch goal will be unlocked and the fifth book will also be produced and can be added to your contribution/reward. (There are additional stretch goals that would allow for book six, book 3.5 which is a Christmas novella, a notebook which is a nod to the upcoming book, and a surprise for the very last stretch goal.)
Though the series isn’t complete- the author has confirmed that these first six books do complete a story arc and they’d like to do another campaign later on for the last books (7-10).
I’ve included it on this blog because one of the pledge/reward tiers includes access to the author’s courses on self-publishing and writing (which come with lifetime access).
And the kickstarter is open internationally! Shipping does cost a bit (though the shipping cost are included in the totals when reaching for the stretch goals).
I’ve included the link to the kickstarter and to the goodreads page for the first book for more information. And if you’re new to kickstarter you won’t be charged until the project funds. Also, when additional stretch goals are met, you’ll receive an email update once you are backing the project so you’ll know that there is a new book available to add to your pledge (as an add on item).

And here’s a link to the most recent tiktok the author posted about it (the lighting isn’t super great, but she is legally blind).
And here is her tiktok showing the original swag (one of the unlocked stretch goals was more swag)
For my beautiful children, you love to hear the stories of how Mommy met your Daddy, Dad, Pop, and Papa. You love the funny stories about fighting that Daddy should never have told you or the stories about dancing that Papa teases me with or how Dad coaxed me into singing with him. Pop says your favorite stories are the ones that tell you we are human, that we love, and have loved, and will always love you.
I get that. Family means security and safety. It means having people in your corner always. It means companions on the journey to chase your dreams and helping them achieve theirs.
Hello seems like such a simple word, my darlings. But every hello that led me to your fathers is also the beginning of the happily ever after we're building every day. You're a part of it, Izzy, Josh, Charlie and our new arrival. You are the continuation of the story, our work in progress—our happily ever after.
No Such Ring, the dramatic conclusion to the Bloody Royals trilogy by Cora Lee June, is LIVE and FREE with Kindle Unlimited.

Blurb
Leo is afraid of heartbreak.
My shadow.
My protector.
He doesn’t want to share.
The crushing burden of wedlock descended upon me, threatening to ensnare me in an unbreakable bond. But I refused to accept my fate; I had to be courageous for my men.
Filled with a burning passion, I declared myself the Bloody Queen and led my men in a daring struggle for their freedom. As we charged into battle, I knew that our victory would not come without great sacrifice.
My love for them was so deep that I was prepared to give up anything and everything to see them safe. To reclaim our freedom and keep us together, I understood that sometimes love demands the highest cost of all: My life.

I still can't believe it, but when I saw Luc, beaten and bloody in that church, I knew there was no way out.
I had to marry him.
That doesn't mean everything the Rejects and I have worked toward has been for nothing. If anything, it matters more now than ever. Once again, the Antonellis have incurred my wrath. They've stolen my brother and I will do whatever it takes to rescue him from their clutches.
The problem is, in order to achieve such a task, we all need to work together. All five of us. Me, Cain, Oliver, Dante, and Enzo. How the hell am I meant to get two groups of men on opposing sides to even be in the same room together, let alone work side-by-side? To trust one another?
It's a tall order, but like I said, I will do whatever it takes to get my brother back, even if it means putting my faith in my so-called enemies and crossing territorial lines that were never meant to be crossed.
“It really depends on the girl, and why they like dark romance,” I said with a shrug, dropping my hand from his arm. “If there is a particular girl you want to impress, I suggest buying her coffee and then asking her about the books she reads and what she likes about them. Then, if you really want to impress her.” I looked around and leaned in close, like it was a secret. He leaned in to hear me whisper, “You read the books she loves, and take notes, especially in the spicy scenes.”
“That’s all? I don’t have to get magical powers, rule Hell, or join a mafia family?” He asked with a shy smile.
“Nah, you just need to fuck like you do.” I gave him what I hoped was a saucy wink, and watched the color on his cheeks deepen as he grinned at me
