April Wrap Up

It was a busy month this time around; in fact, I have two favourite books this month. One being In Isabeau’s Eyes by Lora Leigh and the other The Pleasures of Summer by Evie Hunter. Both the main characters in both books tugged at my heartstrings while making my cheeks heat from laughter and spice. I look forward to the next installment of the Kentucky Nights series by Lora Leigh when it is released. I even plan on reading the Nauti series that had some part to play in In Isabeau’s Eyes. I am slowly making my way through the Pleasures series by Evie Hunter. It is bigger than I initially thought, but I am enjoying it, and I am very much looking forward to Sinead’s book. Thanks to the authors mentioned above, I have two new book boyfriends: Tracker Calloway and Flynn Grant!

I did have one DNF (did not finish) book this month, Destined to Play by Indigo Bloom. This is the first DNF of the year and the first for me in a while. I usually push through and rarely give a book one star, but I had to stop at 100 pages. Consent started to feel very loose for me, and I could not continue. I was worried maybe it was just me being silly, but I flipped to the end, and consent was grey at best. Personally, I am not a fan of dubious consent or non-consent for that matter (dubcon/noncon).

What was your favourite book this month? Or did you have any DNF’s?

REVIEW: In Isabeau’s Eyes by Lora Leigh

Rating: 4 out of 5.

In Isabeau’s Eyes is a contemporary adult erotic romance novel by Lora Leigh. This is book one of a new series by the author called Kentucky Nights. At fifteen years old, Isabeau Boudreaux was blinded in a violent attack that ended the lives of her parents. Ten years on, parts of Isabeau’s vision are returning, but a series of accidents coined ‘bad luck’ have her friends convinced that someone wants her dead. After a near-fatal incident involving Isabeau and a friend, her friend’s brother, Tracker Calloway, almost reluctantly steps in. Tracker is offering to put an end to this string of ‘bad luck’ Isabeau seems to have; he knows how to protect people, and that’s his job, but why did Isabeau have to be irresistible and damn near impossible to stay away from?
