MONY’S LATEST READING LIST:
Mony: Some recent reads…
Woke up Wed by Cassie Mint – I loved this novella. A hot grumpy boss, quirky, steamy, Vegas wedding. 66 pages. KU. 😎 4.5⭐
When Gracie Met the Grump By Mariana Zapata – I loved this book! It has so many of my favourite things – grumpy, hot, hot, hot, smart alien LOL; enemies to lovers; chemistry++; quirk & banter; a unique approach to this genre.
This will appeal to those who want a great story but are not put off by a slow start before the action starts; too many Gracie musings (IMO); a sloooow romance (although the hot alien is worth it), and Zapata’s style. All the characters were quite colourful & well done- including Grump & Gracie whose personal growth, friendship, & love were lots of fun to watch. I miss BBF Alex. 🙂 5⭐
Nice Girls Don’t have Fangs by Molly Harper – This book was a fun and enjoyable Hallowe’en read. The storyline, setting and unusual characters were well done. Plus lots of quirk & banter. This story will appeal to those who want a cool story but don’t expect an alpha vampire & lots of romance. 3.5-4⭐
When We Were by Diana Elliot Graham <— LIVE!! SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE?? “…when posed with a question about breakups, Arden reaches out to the only man who ever broke up with her and his response is something she never saw coming. “I didn’t dump you.” It becomes clear they have both spent these years apart, thinking the other was the one who ended it...”

Grumpy Fake: Billionaire Enemies to Lovers Romance by Madison Rice <— LIVE!! HER BEST FRIEND’S BROTHER!! “...I should hate my best friend’s older brother. Mysterious, brooding ex-Navy SEAL. The grumpiest, most infuriating man I know. Blowing me off – twice – sure didn’t help. When he asks me to be his fake girlfriend, I bite my tongue. It’s my chance to knock him down a notch or two. But faking it is easier said than done…”

Just My (Blood) Type by Honey Andrews <— LIVE!! VAMPIRE ROMANCE!! “…All Diana wanted was for her Caster abilities to develop. To have the same power as the rest of her peers. That, and a nap, because apparently, a summer spent sensation craving wasn’t conducive to a healthy sleep schedule. Instead, she got a Vampire father, a Vampire half-brother, a new Vampire society with strange, tight-laced social norms, and Felix. A tall, blonde, scary-hot blood source who was also— you guessed it— a Vampire...”
