However, I took off one star because the lack of contractions seriously bothered me. She was young-surrounded by youth-and not one character used contractions. This is probably a holdover from the author’s school days, but it seemed contrived. Despite that, I loved the book and can’t wait to read more. It’s a neat world with contract marriages, seventh sons and daughters, adorable familiars and cool roommates.
Some people complained about the cover-but I think it’s adorable! It’s the main reason I read the book, so to each their own, I guess.

Ok, a couple of things. First, the review should have said that it was a book of poetry. Second, it should have said that it was a book of very high-bOk, a couple of things. First, the review should have said that it was a book of poetry. Second, it should have said that it was a book of very high-brow poetry.
Look, I wanted to learn about what happened in that house. And, I did. Kind of. However, it doesn’t explain why. Or how. Or much of who.
I would not reread this. However, for people who truly love New Orleans, they would like it. ...more

It was an exciting storyline, although tragic, for Ben. The bad guys were proper villains, although you only really get a feel for Kyra and Remy. Peter seems just like a dumb jock who was told what to do and did it. Savannah is sweet, and I love that she had curves, and Jack was a smart kiddo. The Sheriff was pretty awesome and Rusty was a neat old guy.
So, why did it get 4 stars instead of 5? Well, I found the sex scenes gave me some issues. First off, a single mom with a highly observant kid will not let her shirt be torn off. Second, Savannah's dirty thoughts seemed a little off-key.
However, if there are more of these, I will keep reading. I want to know what happens next and I can't wait to meet the other brothers. Also, I have a deep need to see Carven Redclaw get what's coming for him. I HATE THAT GUY!!

I usually hate contemporary romance. It’s not my thing. And, I will admit that I skipped most of the sex scenes. They don’t vibe with me. However, I lI usually hate contemporary romance.

The main ones, the side ones, the kiddos, the doggo…EVERYONE (well, except for Mike, Marcus and that horrid Mother…hmmm, the author might not like M names). Sid was fun and funny, Brian was s hot mess of emotions, Tori was sweet and I can’t wait to read her taking Jamie to heels, Jamie was SUPER sexy when he knifed the tires, and I want to see Shay & Kali’s love stories too! ♥️♥️♥️...more
