October 19, 2012 by Aestas · 2 Comments

This is an AWESOME sci-fi romance series. The great thing about is that it is 100% character-driven and focused so the ROMANCE comes first, the sci-fi is just the setting. Regardless of whether or not you like sci-fi, I could see any romance reader easily falling in love with these books. They are interconnected standalones but must be read in order for best appreciation. ENJOY!!

Book Review – The Golden Dynasty (Fantasyland #2) by Kristen Ashley

October 18, 2012 by Aestas · 15 Comments

I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THIS BOOK!!!! WOW. JUST UTTERLY AMAZING!!!!

Kristen Ashley never ceases to amaze me with the beauty of the books she writes. Seriously, this story is just magical <3

Its a story about two people overcoming extreme cultural differences for the sake of love. There were parts of this book that were gruesome, brutal and sickening, parts that were swoony, heart-melting and utterly precious and ultimately it told a beautiful story about compromise, understanding and acceptance.

The story follows Circe, who went to sleep one night in her bed in Seattle and woke up in a nightmare world. Literally. She woke up in a an alternate parallel universe to ours in a corral with a whole bunch of women, most of whom didn’t even speak her language, who were penned there, half naked, waiting for “The Wife Hunt” to commence.

O_O

The Wife Hunt?!?!

“It was a nightmare. It was a nightmare’s nightmare.”

To call The Wife Hunt brutal would be an understatement. It is a common practice by the Korwahk people with the purpose of finding wives for their warriors. But the way they go about it, to our eyes, from our culture’s perspective, is horrific. They round up the most beautiful women from both their people and others who they kidnap and, at an appointed time, are let loose in the woods and hunted down by the warriors, raped, and thus claimed as that warrior’s new wife.

Now, this is something which under normal circumstances would turn me way the hell off a book. But I had a lot of faith in KA’s story-telling ability and so I spent some time prior to reading it trying to understand or come to terms with it.

I wont say anything here that will spoil the story, but I will try and give a little bit of a general explanation so that in case you, like me, read that description and kinda balk and start backing away while wondering if there was any way in the world you could ever love a hero who would do such a thing, then maybe this will help you understand him a little before the start of the story.

There is a LOT of emphasis made in this book about how this is their culture. The people in their culture (including the women!) are happy with it. They are a prosperous, thriving culture. These are their customs. These are their ways. Yes, to outsiders, and to us, their ways are savage, brutal, barbaric, cruel, take your pick, but to them, this is their world.

And, after the brutal first scene in the book, The Wife Hunt (which, by the way, was not very graphic), things do start to gradually change a little….

“There are some men, no matter what blood flows in their veins or what teachings were drilled into their heads, who are just good men.”

Our hero, Dax Lahn, is one of those men. And for a guy from such a brutal culture, he was actually pretty darn swoony!! And Circe is just an incredible heroine – she is strong-willed, fiesty, sassy, deeply understanding and I instantly felt connected to her character. And not long into the book, it becomes abundantly clear how proud Lahn is of her, of having found a warrior women. And he really does do his best, in his own savage-brute way, of trying to figure her out.

They spoke different languages, came from different worlds, couldn’t understand each literally or culturally and yet they both worked so hard at figuring each other out. It was totally, completely, endearing – the big brutish warrior King and his Seattle chick Queen.

The thing was that regardless of the fact that this was their culture, there was still the issue that that Circe was NOT from it and so Lahn had to learn to make concessions along the way too. And whenever he screwed up, I loved that she totally stood up to him. Which he, in turn, found endearing…. it was all just very sweet.

But, I’ll be honest, some of the stuff that happens in their culture is really hard to accept. Reeeeeeeally hard. Borderline impossible. But I really just tried to go into it with an open mind and realize that a lot of the things that to me, I found demeaning or heartless were really the results of my own culture speaking. Its a hard thing to wrap your mind around.

It helped though, that Lahn just melted my heart. He was just the biggest brute and definitely the kind of guy that nobody messes with and yet, when it came to her, he showed another side where he actually was just the biggest loveable softie <3 And its impossible not to see just how MUCH he cares!!

“This is my vow to you… I am your husband, I will keep you safe and I will do it by keeping my feet on this earth, breathing the air and being there to make you safe. Do you understand this?”

And I absolutely loved that Circe made concessions in a lot of ways to his culture – after all, she was the one who came into his world, but she had a few key things that really didn’t sit right with her (totally understandably!!) and in an awesome way that just made me want to cheer, stood up to him over and over again. Basically, she never lost who she was or her spirit or her character but still found ways to accept him and his culture and compromise.

“Lahn told me that when he claimed me, even in the moonlight, he saw my spirit shining in my eyes and it was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen. To me, he was raping me. To him, he was receiving a gift he’d treasure always. This is a contradiction that it is difficult to come to terms with and although it does not heal the pain we felt, a memory seared into our brains, the terror we experienced, I cannot say it does not provide just enough balm to allow me to live with it.”

Once I got over the brutality of their world or rather, just tried to accept their way of life, I was able to fully focus on the epicness of their swoon. And oh my freaking god was it ever EPIC and SWOONY. There would be pages and pages on end where I’d be grinning from ear to ear.

Lahn did do a lot of brutal things, but for some reason, I found myself forgiving him. Not excusing or justifying his actions or even accepting them, but understanding and forgiving him. And the SOLE reason I felt that was was that I could see and sense all along that he was really, genuinely trying to be a good guy by her standards. He was trying to adapt and compromise. And yes, there were times when he screwed up, hmmmm, no, more like where he really effing f*cked the hell up, but he got better, progressively. That was his redeeming quality in my eyes.

And, let me tell you, when this big guy f*cks up. He royally f*cks up. But I loved that he realized it and he was prepared to grovel (well, lol, in a kingly brutish swoony way, but still) to get/earn her forgiveness. A big Alpha guy who is Alpha enough to apologize and ask for forgiveness without losing an ounce of his Alpha-ness (and also, more importantly, learn from his mistake) is the kind of character I pretty much just fall head over heels in love with.

I kind of also think that I might have been more okay with the issues in this book than the last one because despite the brutality of them, they are out in the open. This isn’t about deception or doing something behind someone’s back. This is just about the clear cultural RIFT between two people who come from vastly different worlds.

Yes, its sickeningly BRUTAL, but nothing that happened was meant in any way to harm. To me, despite the horrific brutality of the actions, it made the actions much more forgivable.

“Your king did not break through with me until his touch stopped taking and started giving and until, in our cham, he treated me with kindness. He is the mightiest of Suh Tunak, recognized the battle he had on his hands, analyzed it, created his strategy and then he went about winning that battle using any means necessary. And…my Lahn won that battle. I now lay awake at night waiting for him to return. When he does not, I fall asleep looking forward to the morning when he will wake me with his hands. He is my king, he is my warrior, he is my husband and I am proud to say above all…he is mine.”

One of my favorite things about this book was watching both of them learn each other’s language. KA did an incredible job of creating a believable, beautiful sounding and fairly detailed Korwakh language and I loved that I actually started being able to understand what they were saying without translation. But seriously, when Lahn spoke English, even when he only knew a few words, my heart just melted into a puddle of goo. “Rest, baby.” *swoooooon*

“Oh shit, yeah. He could be sweet.
And that sucked.
“You know what sucks? I whispered to him, doing it because I knew he would have no clue to a word I was saying. “It sucks that you can be sweet and when you’re sweet you’re really sweet. That sucks.”
He didn’t stop tenderly stroking my hair as I spoke but his eyes dropped to my mouth and when I was done, they came back to mine.
Then my heart squeezed when he whispered back, “I don’t understand you, baby.”
There it was again. Sweet.
I lifted a hand and placed it on his chest. He looked down at it but his eyes came back to mine when I spoke.
“Out there, King Lahn is a fierce warrior but in here, my Lahn… kah Lahn is sweet.”
His eyes changed, intensity shifting in when he murmured, “Fierce warrior, sweet.”
I grinned at him. “You’ve sort of got it.”
“Fierce warrior, sweet,” he muttered again.

Honestly, I don’t know what else to say about this book except the scenes in it are epic!!! Everything from ceremonies to rides to contests to executions to tender, beautiful private time to hot intense private time…

I totally fell into this world and into this story. Lahn and Circe’s love was beautiful and romantic and I utterly adored this book despite parts of it being hard to stomach. It definitely made my favorites shelf.

Rating: 5++ STARS!! Can standalone.

Book Review – On The Island by Tracey Garvis Graves

October 15, 2012 by Aestas · 17 Comments

Wow. 5++ stars!!

LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS BOOK <3

This is an absolutely beautiful, unique and unforgettable story about survival and love.

One of my top favorite reads ever.

I just finished reading it for the second time. I read it once a year ago and absolutely adored it but it was in my pre-review writing days and so, now that I’ve re-read it, I just wanted to tell you all how much I absolutely adored this story.

Its well-written, riveting and heartfelt. The HEA ending is just perfect with an epilogue that brought the happiest tears to my eyes. I honestly don’t have one single complaint to make about this book.

Its one of those stories that reminds you that true love can be found in the least likely of places and that, no matter what other people think, you should always follow your heart.

When an unfortunate plane crash strands them together on a small uninhabited island in the Maldives, 16-year-old TJ, a high school student in remission from cancer, and his 30-year-old summer tutor Anna are forced to depend on each other for survival as they wait to be rescued.
And wait.
And wait and wait and wait.
Weeks turn to months and eventually to years with no sign of rescue on the horizon.
But as their time on the island passes, Anna is faced with the reality that the boy she came to the island with is now becoming a man.

First of all you need to know that TJ isn’t like most other teens. He feels about twice as old as he is. Seriously, when you ‘meet’ him, you’ll understand. The events of his life have matured him far beyond his years and he so incredibly sure of his feelings that it is guaranteed to melt your heart.

For those of you who are wondering if the age difference makes their relationship feel at all weird, I promise, it absolutely does not. Cross my heart. They don’t get physically involved until he is almost 19-years-old so there is never an ‘underage’ issue. Watching them slowly fall for each other as he got much older was beautifully written, plausibly paced and never rushed. And if you read the book, you’ll see without question that they really, truly belong together.

“I love you, Anna.”
The surprised look on her face told me she hadn’t seen that coming.
“You weren’t supposed to fall in love,” she whispered.
“Well, I did,” I said, looking into her eyes. “I’ve been in love with you for months. I’m telling you now because I think you love me too, Anna. You just don’t think you’re supposed to. You’ll tell me when you’re ready. I can wait.”

The author is a brilliantly gifted story-teller who perfectly captures and portrays intensity of the situation that Anna and TJ went though – depending on each other, supporting each other, saving each other.

The book is told in alternating chapter POV’s between Anna and TJ. It is done very seamlessly allowing the reader a chance to really get into the minds of both the main character – something vital given the nature of the storyline.

Its one of those incredibly written books that you never want to put down – where you are immersed in the story and connected to the characters right from the beginning.

Another thing that you should know is that TJ’s cancer does not come back. This is not a story about that. I’ve heard some people say that that held them back from wanting to read this book so I’d like to dispel that worry here. This is a beautiful love story with a very happy ending!!

If you haven’t yet read it, trust me, its worth bumping to the very top of your lists!!

I know I’ll be rereading it many times for years to come <3

Book Review – Letting go (Mitchell Family #1) by Jennifer Foor

October 14, 2012 by Aestas · 3 Comments

2 stars

Ok, I’ll be honest here, the ONLY reason I finished this book was that I wanted to be able to rate it fairly but honestly, by 25% I was already thinking of stopping and by 50%, I pretty much just wanted to smash my kindle against the wall :S

Siiigh.. ok. Where to start?

k, its easier if I refer to characters by name so the heroine is Savanna, the shithead boyfriend is Ty, and the hero is Colt (who is also Ty’s cousin).

The set up of the story is that Ty and Savanna have been together since they were 14. When they go to college, she wants to be focused on her education and he wants to be focused on parties. That causes tension. She breaks up with him because she ‘just can’t deal with a relationship’ at the time as well as school. But *holds up one finger* she “never” intended it to be permanent… she just wanted to *squints skeptically* break up without really breaking up or something like that. *shakes head* Whatever. Ok. Another thing you should know is that Ty has been sleeping around behind her back for years will pretty much everything with breasts. Anyway, after begging her to take him back with no luck Ty goes back to partying until one day, Savanna walks in on with with his pants down with some girl and is so upset that she leaves the party. He’s drunk and steals a car to follow her and ends up with his car in a ditch and in a coma…

Six months later, he’s still in a coma and everyone pretty much resents Savanna and blames her for the accident. She spends every day at the hospital with him waiting for him to wake up. Until one day his hot cousin, Colt, walks in. He’s there to stay for the summer and help on Ty’s family farm…. one thing leads to another and they end up together. But.. she’s having trouble letting go of Ty.

This book was full of things that just made me want to tear my hair out… I’ll just list a few of them as examples:

Savanna was a seriously annoying heroine. She was either incredibly dense or just a pushover because once we learn some of the dick things that Ty did to her while they were together, I have no way of sympethizing with why she didn’t dump him ages ago.

Ty’s family was just HORRID to Savanna. Seriously, it was like their son walked on water or something… and she never once stood up to them but just took whatever they dished out.

While Ty was sleeping around behind her back, pretty much everone except Savanna knew, including her best friend who NEVER TOLD HER. Wtf??

Ty was just a SERIOUS jerk. I’m not sure I even WANT to see him redeemed in the next book. First of all, he was a serial liar and cheater but was also just a huge dick. Like seriously, he ACTUALLY had the nerve to tell her that his dick made the decisions but his heart had always belonged to her. WTF??!! O_o

And then last 50% with all the stuff with Ty and Colt…. gah!!! Serious kindle-throwing frustration.

Also, this is just personal preference but I’m usually really not into love triangle books unless there is very little back-and-forth and once the main couple is together, that that. And this book had a lot of wavering.

And just some weird stuff that didn’t make sense like a scene where she gets her face all cut up in a fight and needs stitches and the next day Colt and her have a mudfight getting mud all over her face. Again, WTF?

Honestly, the writing was stilted and the dialogue was cheesy. I found the beginning very rushed and never really felt that I was able to properly connect to any of the characters.

Yes, the hero was swoony. But in a too-perfect way. I don’t know. He was though, by FAR the best thing about this book. He’s the reason I didn’t give it a 1-star rating…

This book had a lot of angst and some steam but I honestly just feel like I wasted my afternoon.

Le sigh.

Book 2 is Ty’s story but I don’t think I’ll be going on to it. A hero who is willing to lie and cheat on his girlfriend for years and in a fit of rage wraps his hands around her throat and pushes her against the wall yelling “You bitch!” is just not someone I’m interested in reading a whole book about.

Ok. Moving on. I need something awesome next!!

PS – it does rate quite highly though on Amazon so I clearly am in the minority with my viewpoint on it. If you want to check it out, here’s the link:

Book Review – Wildest Dreams (Fantasyland #1) by Kristen Ashley

October 14, 2012 by Aestas · 4 Comments

Elves and dragons and hot guys, OH MY!!

Well we all know that KA is the one of the queens of contemporary romance books, but it turns out she’s just the queen of romance books in general cuz her fantasy book was pretty freaking awesome too!

It was fun, adventurous and romantic. Filled with palaces, balls, adventures, sea voyages…. thrones to be won, assassination attempts, betrayals, political plots, battles, kidnappings, executions, oh, and did I mention romance? Much swoony romance!

There is a parallel universe in this story, in which ever person has a twin. Desperate to reconnect with the parents she lost when she was young, Finny finds a way to make a deal with a witch to switch lives with the alternate ‘her’ for one year…. and so, she is magically transported to the winter wonderland of Lunwyn where she steps into a beautiful palace, finds out she’s princess of the realm and is then promptly taken to a hall where she is marched down the aisle straight into an arranged marriage to Frey Drakkar (aka big, dark, broody, scowly hotness) who then, in true macho Alpha caveman style, drags her off to a far off cabin in the woods and leaves her there for several weeks.

But fear not, he doesn’t stay away for long, and once he returns, some of their mis-communications are overcome (like, for example, sorting out with him that, unlike the alternate version of her, she is, in fact, not a lesbian and is actually attracted to him) and begin to learn more about each other, ooooo boy, hold on to your panties because the swoon gets turned to max!!

“So here I was, a princess in a frozen world with a very scary yet very hot husband who could really kiss and liked to cuddle.”

I think my first love in this story goes to the heroine actually. She pretty much defined “can-do”. She absolutely loved life and was adventurous, smart, resourceful, adaptable, reasonable, always with a positive attitude and ready to make any situation work… this chick pretty much defined ‘survivor’. I mean, here she was, thrown into this whole new world, married off to a big, dark, scowly guy, driven out to the middle of nowhere, ditched and yet she just assesses her situation and, with not one sniffle or mental break down, figures everything out. One thing at a time. I totally loved that about her!

And then we have the hero – Frey Dakkar. He was both swoony and loving as well as a total ass/jerk/dick (take your pick). He came off as gruff and caveman-like on the outside, but once he started to warm up to her, his thoughtful, sweeter side began to emerge until my heart was pretty much just melting.

“I do not know, my wee Finny, where I came from but I’m beginning to know why I’m here”…
His eyes held mine as his mouth murmured, “She waits for me at windows and buys me dragons. There are reasons we walk this earth, I’m beginning to realize mine.“

I’m pretty sure my heart skipped beats every time he would call her “my wee Finny”. Total swoon!! But despite his epic swooniness, there were some things about him I had a hard time getting over which I’ll address below (in slightly overly ranty detail). He was totally Alpha – fierce and lethal to his enemies and totally protective and caring of his new wife with a lot more to him than initially meets the eye that we begin to discover as the story progresses.

The whole book kind plays out like one big romantic fantasy adventure about a couple who were quite literally DESTINED to be together <3

“I love you, Frey. I’m in love with you. So in love, I’ll never stop loving you. Not ever. You, everything about you is beyond my wildest dreams.“

And then, there I was, just totally lost in this awesomeness of this world when suddenly: elves! Freaking elves!! … I honestly wasn’t sure how much I’d like the fantasy side of this world. That genre is not usually my thing, but it serves me right for doubting KA because they totally worked for this story.

Ok, but I’m going to have to be honest here and say that there a few things that the hero did that reeeeeally pissed me right the hell off. Absolutely infuriated me! Like BIG TIME!!! I seriously wanted to geld him! I was swearing and ranting and my heart just hurt so much!! I’m going to try and talk about it vaguely without giving spoilers but still so you’ll have an idea of what it was to see if you think it’ll bother you.

I loved the hero, I really did. He was very very protective and swoony and Alpha and loving and all but, in many ways, he was very old fashioned – with a ‘man knows best’ and ‘man does no wrong’ kind of attitude that went with the culture of his world…their men were culturally granted a lot more liberties – they got to decide when and if contraception was used, they (and only they) got to choose if they wanted to sleep around even after marriage *shudder* etc…

There was one issue that happened at 37% that I hated but what really got to me more than the issue itself was that it much was never addressed directly. Once, like 20% or so after it happened, it was kind of glossed over and dismissed but that was it…

But THEN came a whole other big issue which, basically, without spoilers, he does something behind her back which was really disrespectful of her body. No, don’t worry, he doesn’t sleep with anyone else, that’s not the thing he does. But still, see, if it was a cultural mistake, I could have gotten over it because his world was very different than ours, but what I couldn’t get over was that it wasn’t just a cultural misunderstanding mistake because during the scene where he did it, he clearly REALIZED that there was a chance that it was HER cultural norm from HER world and yet even knowing that, he STILL did it. To me, *shakes head*, I’m sorry, but that was just an UBER dick move. Total disrespect for her. No matter how much he loves her, to do that, consciously knowing that its probably all a cultural difference and not respecting her enough to talk to her, and instead just making that choice against her will AND just plain not communicating about it EVER was just too big a disrespect for me to disregard or fully forgive.

But I would have probably been easily able to forgive him (given their cultural differences) had he just done the action, then thought about it, come to a realization on this own and then approached her on his own about it. BUT, he didn’t. The only reason (at 97% I might add) that the issues were actually addressed were because someone else actually brought what he had done to Finny’s attention. Otherwise, it pretty much looked like he had no plans to tell her and that, to me, didn’t sit right.

And I also think that if someone who had read this had told me that those issues wouldn’t be resolved until the very end, I might have been able to be more tolerant of them… but I just kept WAITING for him to say something to her and so I was pretty disappointing when he never did so of his own accord. So if YOU are going to read this, hopefully you’ll know what to expect and be able to be more forgiving maybe? After all, if the heroine can forgive it, I guess I should have been able to do.

Now, I understand that a lot of this book was about them overcoming their cultural differences and so I kinda tried to overlook these issues and move on and the fact that they pretty much lapsed into total HOT swoony happiness together really helped take my mind off anything that bothered me. There was a whole lot more adventure, more super hot (and magically enhaced) sexy times, more relationship development, a kick ass heroine moment, and general happy swoony reading.

And I will point out that in the end (which, by the way, was pretty epic), they both came to an understanding about everything and did resolve their issues 🙂

I absolutely loved how much Finny and Frey loved each other. Because they really did. They fell completely in love and they fell hard. What they had was beautiful and hot and totally KA-style magical and if it weren’t for those issues, the story would have easily been a 5 star read for me, so I’m going to settle with a 4 star rating instead.

Please don’t let what I’ve said deter you from loving the hero. I’m kind of hoping that by knowing this in advance, it’ll help you kinda ‘prepare’ yourself for it and be able to overlook the issue for a bit and just focus on the swooniness of their romance. Because it really was totally swoony. I was completely lost in the world, in the adventure, in the romance and with the characters.

The parallel world wasn’t very focused on equality. Men had a lot more rights than women, there were a lot of things in their world which were totally acceptable that in our world would probably have the man either slapped across the face or slapped with a divorce but I loved how Finny slowly introduced bits of her strength, fairness, and justice into their world and by the end I really liked where things had ended up.

It looks like the rest of the series will take place in the same world – we have already met or heard of all the next heroes so their stories are all set up and I’m very much looking forward to continuing on in this series 🙂

Oh… one more thing. I’ve heard some people were avoiding this series because of some ‘time travel’ element so I just wanted to diffuse the rumors and say that there is NO time travel in this book. The only thing is being magically transported from our universe to the parallel universe but not backwards or forwards in time.

Rating: 4 stars.
