I find that rating books are quite subjective. I've seen a couple other bookstagramers post their rating systems and thought it was such a good idea that I had to post my own.
if you looks at my past posts your'll see that most of my posts are 4 & 5 stars, this is very much on purpose. If you would like to see the ones I don't post, check out my Fable or Goodreads (links in my bio).

Happy Reading!

Quick review of You Feel Like Christmas by Christine Drummond

This was such an easy and fast read, it flowed so well. I don't often post about contemporary romance and I usually stick to fantasy romance with my ARC reading, but thus was such a good one. When it comes to Romantasy enemies to lovers is my jam, but with contemporary I will eat up a well done friends to lovers.

Tropes
Friends to lovers
Christmas backdrop
Only one sled
Personal growth
Dog walker (I know this isn't a trope-but there's not much hotter than a man thats good to animals!)

Thank you to @christinedrummondwrites for the opportunity to read this book!

I think its safe to say the only predictable thing about Miranda Lyn's books is that I will end up in shock with a massive book hangover.
Hunt the Dragons is the sequel to Hide the Witches and if you think you know what is coming, no you don't.

She saved the kingdom. Her soul will pay the price.
Newly crowned Queen of Serentyn, Lexa Andrever should be celebrating victory. Instead, she’s
consumed by her failure to fully unleash Starfire. Now, with her mate, Griff, called to the border,
Lexa’s only hope of understanding the elusive magic lies with Serentyn’s Master of Histories,
Griff’s twin.
All the while, Cythraul—that ancient force of darkness—is laughing from afar…
From dusty tomes to cryptic clues left by unlikely sources, Lexa stumbles toward the key to a
power few fully grasp. And, as she clings to snatches of precious time with Griff, Lexa begins to
fear what is coming.
Because when Cythraul strikes, he won’t come for the kingdom. He’ll come for Lexa. Body,
power…and soul.
Starfire’s Vow is the second book in The Soul of Serentyn trilogy—perfect for romantasy fans
who love fated mates, found family, and on-page passion.

❤️‍🔥Fated mates
💜Found family
⚔️Flirty sword fighting
💓Yearning
❤️‍🔥Possessive MMC
💜Banter
❤️‍🩹Heartbreak

Its the final day to order this gorgeous ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ special edition! This book is perfect if you like a morally grey MMC, portal romance, Outlander but wish it was modern, elemental magic, enemies to lovers, or celtic mythology/druids.

I love all of Elle Thrasher's characters, but Henrik is definitely my new favorite. I mean, who doesn't love a man that is equal parts lethal and charming? A man that will protect his FMC at all costs but is also willing to stand by as she gets revenge?
The Fae Captains Thief by @ellethrasherauthor releases on 9/15 and is perfect for fans of Pirates! by @ashmcreads
