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: The Pleasures of Summer by Evie Hunter

Rating: 5 out of 5.

The Pleasures of Summer is the second Erotic Romance Novel in the Pleasures series by Evie Hunter (a pen name for the combined work of two authors). Where there is a great deal of money, there is always danger, and Summer O’Sullivan knows this all too well. As the heiress to her father’s air-plane company, she is well known to the public as a spoiled princess, so naturally, when her father insists on a bodyguard for while he is away, she kicks up a stink. After clever manipulation, she is able to have all but one dismissed. Flynn Grant would rather be in some dangerous destination blowing stuff up than babysitting his principal, but not being back to full strength after his last job, needs must. Despite themselves, their interests are piqued, and with more than one threat hiding in the wings, guarding Summer is a much harder job than Flynn would have guessed. But what is more dangerous: the threats gunning for Summer or the feelings that are becoming harder and harder to suppress?
