I am really sick of stories by "indie" authors that are just NOT ready for publication. I just gave up after 20% on Vengeance Moon by Savannah Jordan. This was a full sized book that has the potential to be good, but needs a professional editor and plenty of polish. I was not going to waste over 400 pages of reading time on a mediocre performance. I don't want to waste time on any more indie authors, unless I am already familiar with (and enjoy) their work. I didn't even check out a March Kindle owner's lending library book, this month. I suppose I can look at the list again...
So books that I have read so far in March:
Soulbound by Tessa Adams. Paranormal, UF? It was a weird book. The only reason I read it is because it was for a challenge. It is written in PRESENT tense which I DETEST. At least it was a fast read with lots of action. 4 stars.
Found *Brides of the Kindred #4* by Evangeline Anderson. Erotic scifi romance. Great book! All the settings were fabulous. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars, is near the end, when the four Kindred were helping Xairn, we didn't get to see any of their action, and Deep didn't really play the pivotal role he was set up for. Also I thought Xairn should have produced more emotion in me. But it was great. 4 stars.
Die For Me by Cynthia Eden. Romance suspense. Shiveringly good! Kept me guessing til the very end! Awesome book. 5 stars.
Slade by Laurann Dohner, New Species #2. Erotic sci-fi romance. Good story. Good action scenes. Good sex scenes. I didn't care for Slade very much, he as an idiot. I guess he improved toward the end. I really liked the secondary characters. 4 stars.
The Awakening by Kaitlyn O'Connor. A Cyborg prequel book. At last, we get to experience the time on the frozen planet when all the cyborgs woke up! It was great! Now I want the next story, which hasn't been written yet, to take place before Total Recall. 5 stars.
Ruthless Pursuit by Stephani Hecht. MM Paranormal romance. Good episode in the fantastic Lost Shifters series. Could have used more editing. 4 stars.
Keeper of the Flame by Bianca D'arc, Dragon Knights #7 or 8. While better than the previous story, still not that good. Way too sweet and sugary. 3 stars.
Titanic with Zombies by Richard Brown. This was actually pretty good! Title is self explanatory. 4 stars.
Heart Thief by Robin Owens. Celta #2. WOW. This story was SO good. If I hadn't read the prequel, maybe I wouldn't have liked it as much. But this was great, because the SHIP was in it! Love the ship! 5 stars.
Standing in the Shadows by Shannon McKenna. Romance suspense. Fantastic. I loved the way it all played out. 5 stars.
Kissing Steel by Laurann Dohner, Cyborg Seduction #2. Erotic scifi romance. I loved this story. The odds against them were unsurmountable! But they were able to get their happy ending! 5 stars.
Azar's Prize by Reese Gabriel. More Than Male #3. Erotic scifi romance. This story felt like a filler. Ten tons of sex and some filler in story line. 3 stars.
In Bed With a Highlander by Maya Banks. Historical romance. Loved it! 5 stars.
My Sunshine by Catherine Anderson. Contemporary romance. Somewhat predictable, but good. 4 stars.
Fair Game by Patricia Briggs, Urban fantasy. Excellent! 5 stars.
Intentional Abduction by Eve Langlais. Erotic SFR. Funny story! 4 stars.
Dominance Fury by Angelia Whiting. Erotic SFR.
Lover Revealed by JR Ward. PNR. Fantastic! 5 stars.
Serving Nicole by Marilyn Campbell. Erotica...light and fluffy. 3 stars.
The Untamed Heiress by Julia Justiss. Historical romance. I absolutely loved this! 5 stars.
Alpha Panthers by Becca Van. Siren PNR menage.
Taming Olivia by Becca Van. Siren PNR menage.
End of the Line by Bianca D'arc. SFR short.
