Books: April Favorites

I read and DNFd a few books in April- but in addition to the books I already reviewed- The Storyteller and the Lucy Barton series… these were the stand outs.

Haley and the Yeti

This was a super cute and ridiculously over the top “coincidence” type romance. I downloaded it because it is set in Tucson, where I lived for many years and had my first 3 children. I LOVE TUCSON, so I tend to gravitate towards anything set in the desert.

This didn’t disappoint – the setting and the people were all so believable. The romance was tame- closed door and sweet.

Haley takes a job out of state to get away from a breakup and to low key/high key stalk a famous director. She ends up living next to the mysterious Yeti man and the story that unfolds is VERY cute.

I have the second in the series downloaded- just haven’t read it yet.

Alive at Night

I LOVED THIS!

It had all my favorite tropes:
~fake dating
~he falls first
~enemies to lovers-ish

Plus the setting and build up was fun. A super cute romance with some spice.

Fourth Wing and Iron Flame

I absolutely LOVED this series- and I cannot wait until the next book comes out!
Olive and I started reading these together- and then after finishing the first book in a long binge- we found out a woman from church had read the second one… and she gave us a STRONG urging to hurry UP.
We both blasted through Fourth Wing and were able to hold a mini-book club meeting at church the next week.

I love the dragon riding and magical school where every day is life or death. The stakes are high and my adrenaline was going non-stop. If you enjoy fantasy, some angsty/spicy romance AND dragons? this is a fun and fast paced read.
