🗲🗲🗲🗲🗲

A paranormal romance that is out of this world! Blood of Zeus has me wanting to go back to college just so I can find my own Professor Kane.

Maximus Kane will win your heart from the first page. He struggles daily with the aftermath of what his unknown abilities have done to his best friend, luckily he's living his life to the fullest.

Kara Valari knows what fate has in store for her, whether she agrees with it or not, she has no choice in the matter. Her family is famous and constantly in the public eye, but she's had her fill of being told what to do...

I need Heart of Fire stat, and would pretty much sell a kidney for it right now! This series is SO good, it'll draw you in until the last page.

I love all the ties to mythology and how the authors have the perfect way of stringing you along. You'll be constantly guessing where Kara and Maximus come from, but how things can possibly work out for either of them.

This is definitely my new paranormal romance and I'm sure I'll be reading it again before the next installment releases. Be still my heart and step aside Thor, I've got a new God of a book boyfriend in Maximus Kane!

SUMMARY:

An ancient grudge. A forbidden love.

The only thing worse than being a demon is being a Valari. As an undergraduate at Los Angeles's Alameda University, Kara Valari can sometimes succeed at forgetting she's both. Lost between the pages of the classics and tucked into the shadows of lecture halls, she can dodge the paparazzi's lenses as well as her family's publicized dramas -- not to mention their private expectations. She has one more year to feed her true passions. Then she'll be expected to fulfill a much darker destiny.

Cursed with inexplicable strength and god-like stature, literature professor Maximus Kane knows all about darkness. Every day he's reminded of the missteps of his childhood and the devastating consequences they've had on those dearest to him. To atone, Maximus spends his nights alone and his days submerged in the quiet life of academia. His existence has become a study in control, and he's become a master at it -- until Kara Valari walks into his toughest course.

Viscerally, Kara's everything he craves. Logically, she's everything he rejects. She's a starlet of privilege. She's also a student. And after one touch, he can't deny that she's awakened something in him that may never go dormant. Nothing about her makes sense, but everything about her feels right. Especially in the deepest strands of his DNA, which are still shadows of mystery to him -- a mystery Kara seems determined to uncover.

She's Hollywood royalty. She's forbidden fruit. And he's pretty sure she could be the answer to everything.

Rebel Princess by Lynn Stevens (Modern Princess Collection #4)

👑👑👑👑

A fight for justice, no matter the cost! Rebel Princess will have you turning pages faster than you can read. This story shows us that you must stand up for what you believe in, even if you lose everything that matters along the way.

Emmy has been lied to and cheated on, but when she digs further for the truth, she discovers that it runs deeper than she thought. I loved her strength and ability to still trust others, even if that sentiment isn't returned.

Quinn is a character that doesn't trust easily, but he finds himself enamored by Emmy and her unwavering faith in him. She's the one person who doesn't judge him by his scars, but when truths come to light, he's left unsure of his feelings.

This story reels you in from the first page and doesn't let go! The author will keep you guessing between which characters you can trust, all while rooting for the truth to be exposed and justice served once and for all. A great addition to the series!

SUMMARY:

I was born to rebel.

Against love. Against authority. Against myself.

Perfect precision, that's how I planned my life. Dancing was my whole world. I wanted to be in the spotlight with all eyes on me, but recently, my heart's pulled me in a different direction. Writing for the school paper has excited me in a way dance never has. Exposing truths trumps pirouettes and countless hours in the studio and being true to myself is more important than keeping dangerous secrets hidden.

Getting close to Colin and his lacrosse buddies allowed me access to their secrets -- but I had no idea how deep they went. On the brink of exposing them, I was set back. No sources, no boyfriend, and no way to get justice. No matter which angle I pursued, my story kept getting shut down.

Until I met the guy with the scars. The one who helped me when I didn't know what to do or who to turn to. He came into my life out of nowhere, saved me, and taught me to believe in myself. Then, when I finally did, he didn't believe in me. I had to stand on my own two feet, fight for my values and for what I needed -- for what I had earned -- and learn that justice always comes with a cost.

In Case You Didn't Know by Samantha Chase (Magnolia Sound #3)

🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

In Case You Didn't Know is my favorite book in the Magnolia Sound series! Mason's story was well worth the wait, and possibly the one I've been most anxious for.

I'm so glad he was finally able to venture out on his own, where he can make his own choices and live his life. His family has good intentions, but they definitely went to far, but it was just the push Mason needed to be independent.

I adore Scarlett! Her strength is inspiring, proving that you can overcome any obstacle. Her blatant refusal to give in to Mason had me cheering her on and enjoying the slow burn.

Their chemistry is off the charts, and the fight to get the girl is worth the lack of sleep if you start their story after bed time...hypothetically, lol.
