#currentlyreading this upcoming release from Abigail Owens. THE SHADOWS RULE ALL is the 3rd book in the Dominion series (which I've loved). If you haven't picked this one up, I highly recommend it.

#currentlyreading the latest release from Claire Legrand. Has anyone read this series?

Picked up this book @bnranchocucamonga today. It’s a Snow White retelling~ish. I think I’m going to skip the TBR pile and start this.

Forgotten Desires by Corinne Michaels is now live!

Forgotten Desires by Corinne Michaels is now live!

He’s a billionaire in need of a wife …
And I’m his ex who can’t say no to him.
Ten years ago Carson Knight was my one great love, but he abandoned me without a trace.
Now he’s a billionaire single-dad in need of a temporary wife.
And he’s at my house on one knee with a proposal…
Marry him, so he’s more likely to win full custody of his daughter, keeping her safe from her unstable mother. In return, he’ll take care of the medical expenses for a surgery my father needs to survive.
Reluctantly, I agree to tie the knot, on one condition. Once those custody papers are signed, we go our separate ways. Because he’s even more gorgeous, charming, and sweeter than he was back then, and I don’t trust myself not to fall for my fake husband.
Especially when I hear him say “my wife.”
Or feel his hands on my skin. Taste his kiss or see the way he looks at me with those blue eyes and know that our carefully crafted rules will shatter.
Right alongside my heart.

I have a really long weekend for the holiday, so I have no distractions. Let’s see if Soren has finally practiced his patience.

📖 Series Review 📖 Kingdom of Lies by Stacia

📖 Series Review 📖
Kingdom of Lies by Stacia Stark
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spice: 🌶 🌶

This is one of those KU finds where you ask yourself why you didn't find it sooner. i adored the series. If you enjoy enemies to lovers, found family and fated mates, you are going to want to pick this up.

Prisca was raised to fear her magic an keep it hidden. When the worst happens, she's forced to flee her village and hope her brother's friend in the city can help her. What she discovers is nothing is what she had been told and she is so much more than the village seer's daughter.

Prisca does a lot of growing up through the 3 books, but she's had to go through that journey to finally step into the role she was meant to have (even if she's still trying to deny it). Lorian helps her with that, at first taunting her but then becoming that voice in her head needed to push forward).

The love story between Lorian and Prisca was not an easy journey. Both of them were fighting everything they felt for a long time, but when they both decided to give in they really became the perfect team.

The fourth and final book in the series comes out 5/30. I'm clearing the deck that day so I can find out how this ends.

I borrowed this from KU last year and it's still sitting on my Kindle app unread. With the last book in the series coming out at the end of the month, I figured it was a good time to start it.
