Sometimes it takes me a while to finish a series when I really like it, because all too often I am disappointed by the resolution of a story and I like to avoid that feeling like the plague. I've been done dirty too many times, my dude. I feel like a good ending should both surprise you and give you everything you've been expecting from the get-go. Not an easy bill to fit, is it? .
The only reason I'm rambling about my highly refined [pain in the a$$] personal preferences in literature is because I am VERY HAPPY to report that I loved this final chapter in the Safeguarded Heart trilogy by @melanieasmithauthor ! It cleared my skin and harvested my crops. I closed the book both grinning like a fool and all teary eyed, and for me that's saying something.

The mysterious danger borne of Alessandro's dealings continues to haunt Sera's life. However it's not until the danger touches her significant other does she take matters into her own hands.
.
I love Sera. She is such a BOSS. And yet she's not infallible by any means. After the Big Bad Thing happens she falls back into her old habits to keep her heart safe, which is infuriating to read and yet so very very human.

.
I guess I should have known from the title, but this book deals with MY FAVORITE TROPE OF ALL TIME! HEEEEEEEEEE! I don't want to spoil it. I will tell you at times I was standing on my chair yelling at Sera. XD Maybe I shouldn't actually tell you all that..
.
Something I appreciate about Ms. Smith's writing is that despite the fantastical circumstances of the plot that we love, not for a moment do the characters feel contrived. These people are real. You could reach through the book and touch them, in all their glory and flaws.
.
Needless to say Ms. Smith has earned a die-hard fan in me!

I just finished This by @cgblaine .⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! I am so happy to have found such a fresh new voice in romantic literature. Rejoice, friends, CG Blaine is here, and she's taking no prisoners!
.
First of all, this book is FUNNY! I loved the fast pace and snarky wit that the author keeps up from cover to cover. The main characters are amusing enough, and the supporting cast keep the laughs coming!
.
Second of all, this book will tear out your heart, and you will say thank you! The flaws (and bright spots) in all the characters feel totally believable. Bennett has very good reason for being so flighty, and even though you kinda want to throw the book across the room you understand. All the ups and downs make the perfect ending all the sweeter!

"We win or we die. There is no in between."
.
The revolution is coming! Pick up book II in the Dakota del Toro series on Amazon today!
.
What's it about?
. .
A dance with the devil… .
Dakota and Diego’s do-over first date is going so well—until the alcalde himself crashes the party with veiled threats and the suggestion that Dakota will make an excellent addition to his harem of stolen women. Dakota promises to see Don Federico dead first, and Diego knows that he and his coven of rebel vampires must strike soon or risk losing everything they’ve worked for. .
A fight to the death…
.
When a distraught wife comes to Dakota for help in finding her missing husband the bounty hunter takes the case. Luis Peña is a diagnosed werewolf and he’s disappeared without taking his Lycanthropene pills. A seemingly routine checkup leads Dakota into the underground world of a shifter fighting ring. Digging a little too deep backfires as usual, and Dakota finds herself on the wrong side of the ropes.
.
A war for the crown…
.
The death of Juan the Ripper leaves a power vacuum in New Mexico’s shifter community that plunges the Land of Enchantment into chaos. The bounty hunters of PCT struggle to keep a lid on the violence as two powerful players emerge—and both want la Cazadora’s endorsement for the throne. .
Revolution is coming… .
Something in Dakota is changing. Strange dreams and unexplained abilities are a boon to her chosen profession, but is she willing to pay the price? Everyone seems to want a piece of the bounty hunter, from Santa Fe’s vampire elite to the millennia-old demon Sri Devendra. When she finds herself in the clutches of the head bloodsucker himself, Diego sharpens his sword and prepares to move heaven and earth—or at least topple a municipal government—to save her. .
