Review: Ghost

Ghost by Sybil Bartel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yes, gushing is allowed

It is no secret that I love the way Ms Bartel can weave a story.

Ghost is no exception. Ms Bartel employs a subtle literary theme, using interesting words and even the lack of words, to convey a much bigger meaning.

Ghost stands strong in his protectiveness and his convictions. His FMC is a strong counterpoint to him. Bravery comes in many forms and loving a man in loneliness is a strength of the FMC acknowledged by Sybil.

You could read this as a standalone, but why would you given this great series?

Review: Delta

Delta by Sybil Bartel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A complicated hero, a heroine with a not-so-apparent backbone of steel and a strategy of dominance

I love Ms. Bartel's writing style. Reading her books has my heart just a little bit clenched, beating just a little bit faster. You are able to get into the most profound emotional pieces of a character's mind and your breath is lost when reading the horror our characters have faced. And make no mistake, unlike many other romance books, the emotional arc for our MMC is one of the best I have read. Delta is the intellectual, able to strategise and foresee every move of an enemy (or friend), but Hanna surprises him, more than he expects. 

Two (seemingly lost) souls that found each other by both tragedy and happenstance, and were tested by time and circumstances, both in and out of their control. I love Delta. I love his heroine. This story gave me an escape and so much joy from the cast of characters that brought these two together! The backstory means this book has a great storyline of growth and strength.

An age-gap romance with an OTT alpha male, but not formulaic in the least. I love the secondary characters and the cameo from Talon was a treat. The book can be read as a standalone, however, you may enjoy the book more when the series is read in order.

Review: Five Second Rainbird

Five Second Rainbird by Nashoda Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The perfect slow burn

I read the blurb and was hooked. Release day could not come quick enough. And Nashoda Rose did not disappoint.

The prologue grips you while it freezes the breath in your lungs. You know the story will be epic with an opening like that.

Vic and Macayla do not disappoint. Each has emotional trauma, guilt and secrets. Add in a cast of secondary characters that make you impatient for their own revealing story, and you have a perfect start to a new series.

The book is an emotional slow burn with super hot chemistry and a well deserved HEA.

Welcome back, Ms Rose
