About The Book Title: The Assassin's Blade Series: Throne Of Glass #.01 - .05 Author: Sarah J. Maas Genre: Fantasy Pages: 435 Rating: ★★★★★ Synopsis: Discover where Celaena Sardothien's thrilling saga began. Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom's most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful and ruthless Assassin's Guild, Celaena yields to no-one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam. When Celaena's scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, dispatches her on missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, she finds herself acting independently of his wishes—and questioning her own allegiance. Along the way, she makes friends and enemies alike, and discovers that she feels far more for Sam than just friendship. But by defying Arobynn's orders, Celaena risks unimaginable punishment, and with Sam by her side, he is in danger, too. They will have to risk it all if they hope to escape Arobynn's clutches—and if they fail, they'll lo

Supplicant by Sierra Simone

About The Book Title: Supplicant Author: Sierra Simone Genre: Romance Pages: 117 Rating: ★★★★ Synopsis: After being left at the altar by her cold and brilliant professor, Church Cason, Charlotte Tenpenny had to leave school to take care of her younger brother. But a fateful night brings Church—and his delicious, drugging kisses—back into Charlotte's life. And it stirs up a reckoning years in the making . . . This novella was originally published in the Naughty Brits anthology, and is unchanged from the original. Links Goodreads ~ Amazon ~ Kindle ~ Book Depository My Review Oh boy, I love smutty novellas. This book is just barely over 100 pages and I want more of it. I'm not a religious person and so the religious talk in this book, I kinda skimmed over. Although, I do believe that their talk of God is in regards to just worshipping each other. I loved Church. I want, no need, a 500 page book just from his perspective. I love this broody man. I'm gonna need someon

Dream On by Angie Hockman

About The Book Title: Dream On Author: Angie Hockman Genre: Romance Pages: 352 Rating: ★★ Synosis: What would you do if your dream man turned out to be real? When law student Cass Walker wakes up after surviving a car accident, she is flooded with memories of her boyfriend, Devin. The only problem? Devin doesn’t exist. But everything she remembers about him feels so real, like the precise shade of his coffee-brown eyes; the texture of his favorite hand-me-down scarf; even the slightly crooked angle of his pinkie, broken after falling off a trampoline in third grade. She knows he’s a figment of her imagination—friends, family, and doctors confirm it—but she still can’t seem to get him out of her head. So when she runs into the real Devin a year later in a Cleveland flower shop, she’s completely shocked. Even more surprising is that Devin actually believes her story, and soon they embark on a real-life romance. With her dream man by her side and an upcoming summer job at a prestigio
