Book Review: Quiver by Rachel Spangler

My angst loving friends, I have the book for you. Quiver is a second chance, celebrity, small town, sports and ice queen romance all rolled into one beautifully healing love story.

Kylie Manchester’s once blossoming acting career is waning. In an attempt to save a big audition she tells the director about her amazing skills as a mounted archer… too bad she isn’t one. But she does know one, a champion, only getting the ex-love of her life to agree to help her will be only slightly less painful than actually working with her everyday.

The tension between Kye and Fletcher flares like a wildfire from the start. Their borderline obsession with their work is both what broke them apart, and kept them moving forward for the last 12 years. Fletcher agrees to help Kylie out of a need to give her what she needs to leave as quickly as possible.

The very slow coming together is painful and beautiful, you will want to yell at them and cry for them more than once. I would consider both of the main characters ice queens to different degrees, and their well-earned walls are thick. Without their connection to each other both women suffered in their personal lives never truly able to move on, but unwilling to move backwards.

The combat sport of mounted archery plays a major role in the book and is honestly just so cool. Every scene was descriptive and made me feel like I was there, in the barn, watching the horses and arrows fly by.

"As he straightened to his full, towering height, he stepped forward with his hand outstretched. I stared down at it. I was supposed to take his hand and then go with him up to the facilitator. I was supposed to just step forward and vow to be this man’s wife, his Chosen in Orcish traditions." ✨The Wedding is here!!✨ (& shit's getting real!) Check out His Black Alchemy on Patreon- Part 3!

Sheyrah I've had it up to here dealing with the King's endless obsession with pitting the fae alchemists of Hiviba against each other. I've already lost the love of my life to the Orc Kingdom Gukar when he defected, and now I'm just supposed to be his sharpened tool to create a tenuous peace? I'm not his child or relative, but I'm just supposed to marry the Gukarian King's alchemist like it's nothing. We've constantly battled, albeit mentally, about who's the better practitioner, and I'm to wed him in three days. Sindren The fae captain of the guard in an orc kingdom has little in the way of friends. I've never been treated the same as a less than magical member of the Folk, but the Orc Dynasty has perfected the art of burying emotions that don't serve you. In three days, I'm on a new assignment as the sole protector of the renowned Black Alchemist. In three days, I'll see her again. Zelig I had little choice but to accept my fate when the Emperor informed me I would be marrying Hiviba's fae Alchemist. We've constantly sparred over the years, and the infuriating Witchling is now supposed to be my Chosen. In three days, I'll see her face for the first time. The thought of spelling her into silent on the spot is more than tempting. Sheyrah, Zelig, & Sindren will meet. The fate of all will change as a riptide of chaos roars through the planes, threatening to destroy the Radiance that gives life to magic. #academicrivals #bookstagram #secondchanceromance #arrangedmarriage #darkromance #adultfantasy #spicybooks #authorsofinstagram #faeromance #orcromance (at The Forgotten Realms) https://www.instagram.com/p/CitWwHnpHM7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SUMMER OF YOU by Joelle Lynne

🌊 SUMMER OF YOU by @authorjoellelynne

“There was a rightness to this. We were meant to be together like this. We should have never been apart, but like a damn fool, I’d gone and fuck it up.”

————————————

🌊 friends to strangers to lovers

🌊childhood friends

🌊second chance

🌊small town

————————————

🦦Labyrinth’s rating

⭐4

💧 2

🔥 3

Nathan and Chase are really cute together. I loved the chemistry between them. Sparks were flying since the first moment they re-met in Nathan’s uncle’s living room. Chase tried to keep his walls up (which btw, it did make me cry. A lot) but he was always so attracted in the magnetic sense to Nathan that every hookup took a little brick away. This book screamed summer, it smelled like the salty air at the beach late at night. It was the perfect atmosphere to rediscover the beauty of falling in love again. Well done!

I received a copy from Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest review.

————————————

“Something primals triggered in my mind. Chase was mine. All fucking mine. I marked him. In all ways possible.”

Unstoppable Love by Stacey Lynn is now live!

A sizzling, small town, enemies to lovers, sports standalone romance from bestselling author, Stacey Lynn.

Ava Decker has hated me for just as many years as I’ve spent loving her.

I made a mistake pretending our night together never happened. For pretending I forgot. But we were young and I was getting ready to leave for college with big plans for the future.

I had no plans to return to our small town in Colorado anytime soon and Ava never wanted to leave. That alone was enough to keep me away from her while we both grew up.

And yet, I never forgot about her and what she means to me.

Now eight years later, imagine my surprise, when I come home and find Sleeping Beauty asleep on my couch, thinking I wouldn’t be back home from my off-season vacation for a few weeks.

As a professional football player, I know all about grabbing an opportunity and running with it. This is my chance to finally convince the girl of my dreams to stay and to tell her the truth about that fateful night years ago.

But getting Ava Decker to not only forgive me but to give me another chance comes with a whole new set of plays I’m not used to.

I’ve got all the time in the world to convince her. I’m committed to showing to her that she is my endgame. I let her go once before and I’ll stop at nothing to prove to her that my love for her is real and an unstoppable force.

*Readers should be mindful that Unstoppable Love contains multiple descriptive scenes of attempted assault that may be sensitive and triggering to some.

My Review

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This beautiful, small town, enemies to lovers/second chance romance, will have your heart pounding and you sighing as Cameron Kelly and Ava Decker’s emotional journey to their HEA is quite the emotional story. One that dreams and at times nightmares are made of…be warned there are some trigger warnings at the start of this book that you will need to be aware of.

Eight years ago, Cameron pretended to not remember the night that he spent with Ava. And ever since he has never forgot about their connection and the love he still has for her. But Ava has spent those years hating Cameron for how he forgot the special gift she gave to him. But now with him back in town, she knew it was time she forgot all about him…or risk losing her heart for good.

So entertaining, Cameron and Ava deserve all the stars in the sky!! Emotional, charming but sweet, steamy and heartfelt, this is one of my new favorites! I cant get enough of this Kelly Family Series! Loved it!

Secrets of a Billionaire by Author Eva Winners is 𝐀𝐕𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐖!

𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 ↳ https://bit.ly/49b7kRo

⠀

Winston Ashford, not exactly Prince Charming.

⠀

Arrogant.✅

Bastard.✅

Gorgeous.✅

⠀

I’d mistaken him for a ten when he turned out to be a minus five. He was so beautiful but damaged beyond repair. There was no amount of understanding or loving that could save a man who didn’t want to be saved. So after one night together, I gladly washed my hands of him.

Until everything went south.

My father was dead. My sister needed help, and it was time I behaved like a responsible older sister, one with a plan.

Unfortunately, my plan was slightly…lacking.

When I was caught red-handed stealing from my less than wonderful one-night stand, Winston Ashford became intent on bending me to his will.

It turned out that he was as ruthless as he was gorgeous and cruel as he was tender.

Forced into an unwanted arrangement with the arrogant bastard, the kind that required rings, my last name became his. I became his reluctant, yet thankfully, secret wife. Unfortunately, he became the man who unknowingly held all the cards. At least we went our separate ways even if legally we were still bound together.

Six lonely years later, our paths crossed again.

There was still a darkness inside of him that scared me down to my very core.

He claimed he wanted a real marriage. That he was a changed man. But deep down, he was still the same. Damaged. Battling invisible scars and habits that were hard to break.

He saved me once upon a time. It was time for me to save him.

But what happens when I’m not enough?

⠀
