Fables Retold, Morgan Brice and Various Authors

I'm a sucker for a good fairy tale retelling, especially when there are a few twists or modernizations thrown in wisely. Four of the included stories really caught my interest and two were written by a couple of my must-read authors so I was pretty excited for this anthology.

Below are reviews for only four of the stories: The Cat Returns to Adderly, Sam Burns; The Seventh Ring of Bertram Bell, W.M. Fawkes; Gruff, Morgan Brice; and The Demon's in the Details, Meghan Maslow.

The Cat Returns to Adderly, Sam Burns
This was a really unique take on Puss in Boots, that the boots were the tool used to bring back the element of humanity in a supernaturally altered cat.  The romance itself took a back seat to Luke's making a home in the mansion of a missing witch while making sense of the life he's trying to gain.  In and amongst all the little discoveries there's something going on between him and the Alastair of his dreams, but none of that really comes together until the very end and by then we're supposed to believe there's a romantic connection, though it's a bit of curiosity, lust, and desperation all mixed up in a way that's okay for a start, but not a good way to end the story.  While the epilogue bit was cute and shows a far more settled couple, it doesn't really deepen the believability of the romance.  I wished there were more magic, more romance, and more of a build, but overall the unique take and interesting premise was passable.  3 stars.

Gruff, Morgan Brice
I love Fox Hollow!  Each story in this world fits the setting and adds interest to a town I wish I could visit in real life.  Adiel and Joe are new additions to the town and their meet-cute was a good intro to Adiel, getting to know Joe came a bit later.  My favorite bit was probably the first shift where they meet one another's goats...adorable!  Their hesitance was endearing until Adiel let his fear and insecurity get the better of him.

The romantic conflict was super predictable and the way they both flew off the handle and stomped off full of self-righteousness and hurt feelings was definitely not appreciated, but what made it excusable was that during their separation both truly reflected on their overreactions and made really astute observations that led to believable resolutions.

And the introduction of the Three Billy Goats Gruff aspect was far more dramatic than I expected, they were powerfully different, violent, and challenging.  Very little resembled the Norwegian fairy tale beyond the desire to consume the challenger and I liked the intent behind the changes.  They were a little repetitive, but still quite effective.  The whole experience helped Adiel to prove, not only to Joe, but to himself that he was stronger than he thought, that he was deserving of more than he's been given or had accepted up to now.  And the assists from Joe were just right; a partnership and a non-verbal show of just where his own heart and hopes lay.  Definitely unique and great addition to the Fox Hollow stories.  4 stars.

The Seventh Ring of Bertram Bell, W.M. Fawkes

Quite grim nearly from the start with a whole lot of loss and apprehension about huge life changes for everyone, Elio had a lot to come to terms with over the course of the story.  The creepy nature of Bertram, the house setup, the mystery...all of it was fitting to the original tale.  While I was glad things worked out as they did, I didn't connect with any of the characters much at all even though I really wanted to.  I was more interested in Grim, the random dog who was a mystery on their own and left unexplained to the very end.

There was a lot that was unresolved by the end, most the minutiae of consequences from the climax, and I would have really appreciated seeing some of the transition because Elio had two more huge changes coming at him; the hopeful expectation regarding those changes just wasn't enough to satisfy me.  Between the magic that I wanted more of and the friends-to-lovers setup with Dutch that I also didn't get enough of, the story was fine, I just didn't feel there was enough.  3 stars.

The Demon's in the Details, Meghan Maslow

By far the best book I have ever read from this author.  Poe and Tommy are fascinating and memorable on their own and together they are incendiary and fickle and salty and sweet too.  I enjoyed their roller coaster, though I wish it had been an alternating POV and not just Poe's.  From the very beginning I was intrigued and engaged and interested in the MC's and rooted for their HEA, which they most definitely got.

The plot was clear and focused, it progressed well without too many complications thrown in just to make things more interesting.  There was drama, of course, but it was resolved in a way that fit the characters and the family they surrounded themselves by.  There weren't any true surprises along the way, but neither was it exactly predictable; it was just right, in my opinion.  There was a strength in the subtleties, the bad guys were clear, and the good guys were a lot of fun while also being clever and deadly.

There was compassion, heart, passion, and family in all the right ways.  I really want more from this world.  If you sign up for the author's newsletter you could gain access to a short story from Tommy's POV from when he met Poe and while it was kinda nice, it was incredibly short and I thought it was underwhelming.  I'd recommend not reading it after the story, read it as part of the story where it belongs chronologically if you really want to read it, I just think it was unnecessary.  4.5 stars.

Sink or Swim: RELIC Book 2, Maz Maddox

At first I was bothered by all the intentional needling of Baha by Jackson; it took me quite a while to warm up to him. I already liked Baha and his eternal grumptasticness, though his grumpines sometimes seemed out of spite rather than his default. The moments of more, of the caring, softer side were especially sweet. The gifts, like Dalton's t-shirts, were completely endearing and very early on showed a side of him that was addictive.

Once I liked Jackson it was easy to feel as if I always liked them together, though that was definitely not the case. His interpretation of our prickly spinosaurus' offering tipped me over into love for him. Not only because he could work out Baha's intentions, but his utter gratitude and wonder and adoration of Baha's simple yet powerful actions. Hard not to love a guy who appreciates theropod-style courting.

"This giant, scaly, angry bastard had essentially just showed up with a box of chocolates on a date. But instead of manufactured sweets, he caught me a big, fat shark and put it at my feet. Cowboys didn’t swoon, and neither did pterosaurs. Well, they sure as hell did now." -Jackson

Speaking of the courting scene, it was likely the best scene of the whole dang book. I was the one who was sunk. Seeing Baha's walls come down, his heart opening, those were collectively my favorite moments. They were everything I hoped for when I knew he'd get his own story and HEA.

“You are the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in sixty-five million years." -Baha

As for the drama, it was kept focused right where it should be.  The complications were few and slightly predictable, but well done so it didn't feel formulaic or rote either.  The bad guys were obvious and stereotypical and Baha and Jackson handled them all with humor, fierceness, sly maneuverings, and outright ferocity.  There was a balance to the story once it really got moving and as Jackson burrowed his way under Baha's skin and into his heart.

Trapped on a cruise ship with a man I absolutely hate is not how I wanted to spend this fake honeymoon. Especially when my “fiancé” has a deadly ex on the same boat.

Jackson is everything I’m not: brash, careless and a former fossil thief. But he’s my ticket to getting what I want -- the original Spinosaurus fossils that have been lost for decades. Now I have to play the part, win the fossils and try not to kill him in the process.

The danger of being caught, tortured or killed isn’t what scares me.

Navigating the waters of this fake relationship is threatening to pull me under.

And I’m terrified of sinking.

East End: Hear No Evil Trilogy Book 1, Nana Malone

Nyla and the London Lords...there's animosity, cattiness, and a little too much zeal for getting dirt and it turned me off of Nyla here with East's book.  I know things will get better, they always do with this author, so I'm absolutely invested for the series knowing there will be two cliffhangers before we get to the truly happy resolution for everyone.

East and Nyla's relationship doesn't make sense to me yet, but again, I know it will by the end.  At the moment it's a lot of using one another and withholding potential going around that is likely meant to intrigue and tantalize, except it's not as successful as I was hoping.

That being said, there's beaucoup chemistry, holy geez is there chemistry.  Both in the between-the-sheets kind as well as in the feistiness between the two.  Nana Malone is master at getting two characters to practically singe the pages and then melt our hearts when all the feels get to the surface.  We've yet to get to the heart of the matter, both in the story plot as well as the relationship, so I'm looking forward to the roller coaster these two MC's will take me on.

Thief in the Light, Jaime Samms

There was a cute feel in the story with the fantastic Mildred and her temperamental communication and Jake with his innocent honesty that was sweet and endearing.  The romance between Kreed and Lucky took a while to get off the ground, like most of the book, but when it actually started it was just as cute as you could hope for.  With big hearts and a new start, they were able to grasp a life together they hadn't known to dream of.

Lucky was something interesting.  His secret past, his sticky fingers, and his fear were all things that worked together to draw me in and made me want to know who he was, what would become of him.  Kreed was a bit different in that we didn't get his perspective for quite some time, and even then it was under a less-than-positive situation where his relationship cast a negative light on both him and the possibilities he and Lucky could have.  It took so long for him to stand up to his past/present that he almost lost his future and I wasn't thrilled at that at all.

Finding redemption and a future amidst adversaries and a sense of misplaced guilt proved difficult for Lucky, but mostly because he had a hard time forgiving himself.  Once he got onto the right path and committed to it he was surprised to see just how much support he had all on his own, independent of Kreed.  As it turns out, just because Kreed had been there longer didn't mean the town was any more invested in him than in the thief that blew in during the night.  The community rallied behind both men because they saw something good in both of them and were aware of just how much work they both did.  Their actions spoke louder than their histories.

What I loved most was the courage displayed by Lucky and because of him a whole new future opened up for those he set out to protect with his silence and later, his voice.  The magic of old houses and the bravery within both made this story something wonderfully sweet and worth the read.  It may have taken a while to get on its feet, but once it did there was hope, and in the end there was love.

Lucky Denver has wandering feet, sticky fingers and an unreliable moral compass—he’s never had a home and he’s not so sure he cares about what he’s missing.
Arnold Kreed who runs a small-town B&B knows what a home should be. So does his home, The Oaks—aka Mildred—and she has some very definite opinions on who should stay and who should go.
Mildred wants Lucky to stay—and while Kreed is surprised, he can’t really blame the old girl. He’s getting sort of attached himself. Lucky might be fine with the house’s eccentricities, but he’s not so sure Kreed will be fine with the man attached to Lucky’s real name. When Kreed falls ill, Lucky needs to make a decision—wander away like he’s always done or stay and be his better self. Kreed’s hoping he’ll stay—and so is The Oaks, and Mildred has a way of getting what she wants.

In Deep Shift: The Protectors Unlimited Book 3, Keira Blackwood

I was expecting more silliness like in Suave as Shift, book 2 in the series, but instead this was much more serious, had quite a bit more action, and the heroine really stole the show.  This was a pleasant change from the previous book.  The drama in this story seemed vastly different from what we got before, but the conflict was extremely fitting for both of these characters and had a lot more depth than I was expecting.  Overall, this was my favorite of the series thus far and I'll happily dive into more from this world if I get more like this book.

Zane is dark, broody, challenging, and in need of a good laugh.  Thankfully Mia is just the sneaky little fox shifter to take on that challenge.  She's plucky, good at her craft, lives up to the fox's stereotype, and has a very agile mind.  She knows her talents and her job and despite her draw to believe in the organization that saved and employs her, she doesn't let that loyalty blind her to the truth.  What her intelligence does is astound me at virtually every turn.  She becomes the hero of the story and of her man.  Gotta love strong, independent women that happen to find love along the way.

It's a little harder to pin down Zane, mostly because he's pretty basic in his description.  The fact that he's a dragon almost wins me over despite him being pretty predictable.  He's not a bad male lead, but he does pale in comparison to Mia.

With an enemy that may or may not have a name, they have their work cut out for them in knowing who to trust.  I love that we get to see the silly Logan again and that the family relationship there is much more clear than what we previously learn.  It's only after reading this book that I really understand some of the interactions and ramifications of stuff that went down in book 2.  There's no clear prediction for what kind of drama we'd get if the series continues, but no matter what happens, if this book is any indication of the trajectory, I'm in.

She stole my wallet--and my heart.

Dragonkind is all but extinct. My mission is simple—protect the survivors of the Therion Tribunal’s assault.

After centuries of searching, I've finally located the weapon that could shift the balance of power. This is the battle I’ve waited for my entire life. I’m ready to do what I must, whatever it takes.

But then she walks into my life. I know that Mia is my enemy. I know I shouldn’t let her in. Still, I find myself drawn to her. She is impossible to ignore, impossible to deny. She challenges me and stirs desires long suppressed. Being close to her allows me to hope, to feel. I can’t afford to give in.

And yet even if I wanted to, even when my mission depends on it—I can’t let her go.

• Farrell and the Fake Boyfriend: Book 1, Lisa Clemente
• Running Off: Rainier Family Book 5, Ashton Cade
• Stealing His Heart: Nox Bay Pack Book 1, Connor Crowe

I really love the fake-situation-real-romance trope, especially when the honest feelings become obvious earlier rather than later.  This had an interesting start in that the MC's were virtual strangers prior to the agreement.  What was less appealing was Scott's situation.  It felt like it tainted all the tenderness they were sharing because he was never forthright in his feelings for Farrell once they started changing.  Instead, we got more of him declaring that he was working for the attentions of someone else.  Disappointing.  Farrell felt a bit pitiful, actually.  I thought he was less soft and shy and more weak and self-sacrificing.  The bright spots were really the tender moments of touching, connecting, and the end.  Farrell was right to make Scott think about what he truly wanted and I really liked the humorous and more playful honesty that brought them back together for their promise of a happy future.  3.5 stars.

The prodigal son meets the stalwart son; both needing what the other man offers yet so afraid of what they might lose that they almost give up the best possible future for both of them.  Parris actually rubbed me the wrong way right from the start.  He's so up his own...well, so self-involved that he's choosing to be blind to everything good about his hometown and refuses to take responsibility for just about everything negative in his life.  By the end of the story I did like how he softened and learned to love himself and appreciate his home, but I don't think enough attention and page time was given to his "ah ha!" moment.  We spent so long reading about how much he dislikes everything about Umberland that his turnaround isn't truly believable.

It's no wonder Caleb keeps pushing him away despite how much his heart wants to grab on and never let go.  Caleb was a bit too much of a martyr for me, though I did prefer him over Parris.  He was so faithful, so loving, so giving and to watch Parris do things he did and then turn around as if his negative actions should be overlooked was disappointing.  Caleb's emotional distance after a while was warranted and I did believe and like his personal turnaround which led to a really wonderful reconciliation.  The epilogue was sweet and perfect for the couple and very necessary for the story to end on a great note.  3 stars.

I'm all for insta-love between fated mates and virtual insta-pregnancy in mpreg stories.  None of that bothers me in the least.  What I do hope for, though, is that there's some kind of connection, some kind of personal education between the characters to build on that shifter-mating-fate thing that gets them together in the first place.  Felix is pretty fantastic, I will say.  He's honorable, vulnerable, immensely strong inside, crafty, loyal, caring...he's just all kinds of great.  As for his mate?  Well, I honestly know almost nothing about him.  We get a lot of superficial information as to who he is and what his responsibilities are, but any more than that and how much he admires and yearns for Felix and we've got pretty much nothing.  I'm really hoping that as the series continues we'll get more about him, even on the periphery of the other characters' stories.  3.5 stars.

In Darkness Series Books 1-3, Alice Winters

I honestly have no idea if there's ever been a book, let alone a series, where I had to stop reading because I was laughing so hard.  Felix is irreverent, un-PC, and so damn funny I just can't.  I'm absolutely sure there will be people who dislike him because he makes fun of and does ridiculously insensitive things to poor, blind Lane, and that's fine, but just know that his brand of awesome brings Lane out of his misery and self-pity into a place where he embraces life and everything crazy he and Felix end up involved in.  There's something so wonderful about this pair with all their humor, recklessness, and their vulnerable hearts that I'm kind of mad that I finished the books.  They're absolutely going on my re-read shelf to be enjoyed over and over.

💕💗💛💚💙💜💕

From the opening I knew the story would be intense.  I didn't know it would be irreverent and completely endearing though.  Despite the prologue bit being in Lane's POV, the rest of the story is in Felix's.  I loved it, but being totally honest?  I want Lane's thoughts and words too.  Especially because his whole world has been upended by the bad guys and he's got a firecracker who can't cook to save his life and is making fun of his new disability to contend with.  Who knew they'd find affection under all their sass?  But tenderness they did find.  In a big way.  There were a lot of misunderstandings and hurt feelings to go along with all the funny stuff, but it all made it feel like a much more real connection than it would have been otherwise.

As for the drama surrounding all of their crazy, the energy fed off of Felix's thoughts and motivations thus ramping up both the tension and the lightness his brand of humor lent the situation.  It was clear who the villain was and it stayed focused on them and their motivations, which I appreciated.  The story flowed well and the progression was believable.  Well, for the most part.  Once they get to Vegas it gets a little far-fetched with the various add-ons to the bad guys' businesses, but other than that, I really enjoyed this story.  The banter was funny to start, then I got a little uncomfortable, especially once they added in the sexy times in a slightly skeezy, awkward way, and then it got a lot better, so much so that I was pretty much head over heels for Lane and Felix.  It was juvenile, definitely, but the way it all came together, the steam, the tenderness, the insensitivity, the humor, the suspense...it just all worked for me.  4.5 stars.

A new normal is hard to find, especially when you're Felix and Lane.  While it's obvious that Lane is struggling to find his place in the force now that they're settling near his family, Felix is actually trying to make the best of their more mundane existence.  Domesticity both suits them and doesn't.  Felix's love of the house is hilarious and the way he treats Lane while they adjust is just as funny as it is sweet.  He's finding a loving family that he never had and his attempts to replace Lane in the family are so dang funny.  I wasn't expecting Felix's family drama to be the star in this story, but it certainly was in a lot of ways.  The cat stealing, the service dog training, the over-eating...there was so much in this one that was incredibly adorable.  On the opposite end, though, are the more disturbing elements.

To say the bad guy in this one is a surprise and utterly depraved is pretty much an understatement.  So when we learn who it is you can look back and say, "yeah, they were pretty shady," but I honestly never grasped just how messed up that individual is or that they were the actual mastermind behind all the crazy.  It's seriously dark and twisted.  What I do love here is that Felix gets to use his brand of usefulness along with his smarts.  It's not always apparent just how intelligent he is, but he really shines in this one.  His heart and his brain and his passion are all on full display in this story and I couldn't be more proud of him.  I also had moments where I had to put the book down because I was laughing so hard.  He just gets my kind of humor and he finds ways to work it in when we need it, when we least expect it, and when it only suits him.  It was awesome.  4.5 stars.

When it's clear that Lane is being put off more and more because the force can't seem to grasp that Lane's immense skill doesn't care that he's blind, he's left at loose ends.  He's missing something big from his life and has no idea how to get it back.  Felix is similar in that he has literally zero experience with "normal" so when they get the text request for a little adventure and a whole lot of money, it's not a surprise that they both jump on it with both feet and no hesitation.  Well, okay, a little hesitation, but that's because neither of them can figure out how to communicate their needs to one another when they each think they should be wanting "normal" and can't seem to make it stick.  Their relationship is so believable in that they consistently progress but discover new things to work through to become even more solid.  Ugh, just when I thought I couldn't love them more.

And then they also get the added bonuses that no one has been honest with their motivations and goals, they get a drunk house guest, and find a new pet for their menagerie...it's just all kinds of crazy and new to enjoy along with what we've already come to expect from Felix and Lane.  The antagonist is a little muddied here, but only because there ends up being so many players that the threads become tangled like nobody's business and we're left to sort it out along with them.  Some of the answers were pretty obvious, and others made you think you knew, then they doubled back and became something different, only to come out on the other end to match what you thought you knew in the first place.  I liked the twists and turns in this one despite the more frantic pacing of their actual drama shenanigans.  When we get the conclusion of what they should be doing with their lives, it opens up the door for so much and I seriously hope we get more.  Not just Cal's story, but some of the craziness that Felix and Lane will no doubt get into.  4.5 stars.

Pros & Cons of Deception: Pros & Cons Book 2, A. E. Wasp

As the next assignment rolls in, it gives the animosity between Danny and Wes a chance to settle, then their mutual attraction gets to simmer, and then their passion reaches a boiling point all while trying to bring down an abusive employment scheme.  While the romantic aspect was a little less powerful in this story than in P&C of Vengeance, it was still an enjoyably subtle combustion.  Their romantic focus was more on seeing their true worth and value individually and not making decisions for the other based on assumptions.

It's the honesty, the vulnerability, and the awkwardness that snared me.  That combination is always lethal for me and I loved Wes all the more for it.  I admit that I went into the story with a favorite side already chosen, but it was for good reason that he stayed my favorite.  Hesitance isn't sexy, but the way he went about it was endearing and understandable.  The way he was always honest with Danny once he realized lashing out was the very wrong way to go about things showed growth and maturity.  That he could look beyond himself and within himself at the same time to try to do what was right and to, hopefully, come out victorious in the end.

Danny was sweet and definitely young.  His life experience gave him an incredible amount of pluck, depth, and understanding, but he was still so incredibly young that I didn't mind when Wes sometimes treated him as naive.  It was the way they worked through things and how Danny found the inner strength that impressed me the most about them.  I'm really, really looking forward to seeing their progress and cuteness from the periphery of the other stories.

Steele sighed heavily and shook his head.

"Kiera. Dude. What's the first rule of an operator?"

She screwed up her mouth like she was thinking about it.

"Always cheat, always win?"

"Uh.  Heh."  Steele scratched his head and glanced at Marvin Mason warily.  "No, the other one."

The group.  The whole freaking group.  I'M IN LOVE!  Steele is pretty much my total favorite and his role in this story is perfection.  He was the comic relief and the support.  There were a few too many mentions of comms and sexy times, but other than that, the group's dynamic is settling into something truly fantastic.  From sparkly booty shorts to surprise agents to finding your inner strength and acknowledging your own worth...this story had so much to love.  I CANNOT wait for the next story in the series!!
