📖 ARC Review 📖 Compass and Blade by Rachel

📖 ARC Review 📖

Compass and Blade by Rachel Greenlaw
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Spice: 🌶

The inhabitants of a tiny island purposefully wreck ships to loot what they're carrying. They are generally overlooked by the bigger islands and this is how they keep everyone fed and clothed. Mira, our heroine, works on the wrecking crew and has an affinity for the water, but she doesn't understand why. After catching the attention of the "law" Mira's father and the leader of their island are arrested. Determined to save them, Mira leaves the island hoping the mysterious information her mother left her will help save everyone.

My problem with the story was the number of times Mira gave Seth a second chance and proceeded to break her trust and her heart. This wasn't some sweeping romance, this was a guy using a girl so he could get approval from his mother and his own crew. In my opinion, there wasn't one redeemable quality about Seth and I couldn't see any reason for Mira to ever take him back. Lord Tresillian might be another story, but nothing was cultivated between them that would lead me to believe he's her HEA.

I loved the premise of this book, but in the end it feel flat to me.

The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee is now live!

From USA Today Bestselling Author Holly Renee, author of the Stars and Shadows series, comes a scorching new fantasy romance that ignites the pages with relentless danger, forbidden passion, and the intoxicating allure of enemies to lovers.

Fleeing my father's cruelty, the wicked king who robbed me of a future, I face death in the streets, caught between a rebellion and a tyrant's reign.

Captured by those sworn to kill me, the rebels remain blind to my true identity-the missing daughter of the despised king. Faced with an impossible choice, I stand before them: join the rebels or face their blades.

Yet, Dacre, the son of the ruthless rebellion commander, becomes torn between suspicion and a desire that mirrors my own. He allows no one to touch me, tries to protect me, yet threatens me at every turn.

As secrets are weaved beyond our hidden realm, a fierce battle unfolds within me. As I get closer to the rebels, and their cause, my loyalty to my kingdom clashes with my undeniable devotion to Dacre and the burning connection between us.

In a world where love and hate are two edges of the same blade, I find myself caught in a delicate dance between forbidden desire and my looming destiny.

I'm finally out of my sick bed (food poisoning is no joke) and reading again. Finally picked up this title, weeks after release, and realized I had forgotten everything that happened in the first two books. 🙄 Need to find my notes to get a refresher.

Lassiter by JR Ward
Black Dagger Brotherhood #21

I've been catching up on the BDB series before Beloved comes out in April. Lover Arisen was not what I was expecting so I'm hoping Lassiter sets everything back on track.

I've been sitting on this title for a while, but figured I better get caught up before Zsadist loses his shite in April.

Thoughts so far...This book has veered off onto a forgotten dirt road in Caldy, BUT... Devina mourning her charred Hermes was priceless. Other than her foot stomping with Lassiter, I don't know WTF is going on. And let's not mention that opening chapter 😳😳😳😳😳

Who else had read this one? Do things start to make more sense?
