Title: Some of the BEST banter!!!
Review: Reckless by Lauren RobertsMy Book Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Spoiler Free Review: This is some of the best banter I’ve found in the romantasy genre! If you were a fan of Powerless, you’ll likely love this second book. I felt the world building and storyline were a bit lacking in this one. Some aspects became repetitive, like with characters escaping, being captured, escaping, captured… But honestly, I didn’t come here for an SJM Throne of Glass, seven book epic. The details and world building never felt lacking, they just aren’t the main plot focus. The pacing kept things moving along nicely. Lauren sucked me in with Powerless with the banter and slow burn between our two main characters. I was looking for more, and boy did she deliver.I’ve seen this book suggested alongside a lot of other books with spice. I believe Lauren has stated that she will be keeping this trilogy YA. But seriously don’t let that stop you. This was such a fun, light read!Cover/Jacket – I’m a big stickler for keeping design elements consistent over the length of a series. This hardcover jacket is beautiful and matches the design of Powerless well. Under the jacket, I actually LOVE the simplistic designs on the front hardcovers. The sword and arrow compliment each other nicely. The continuity shifts a bit on the hardcover spines. The Powerless text is noticeably larger than Reckless…ugh. Why must publishers do this to us!! Not too much of a dealbreaker as I’ll be displaying these with the jackets on. I won’t comment on the size difference with Powerful… 😅Product/Shipping: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Arrived on time in great condition.

Title: Kai and Pae Forever No Matter What
Review: Rating: 4|5 ⭐I just have say that I am obsessed with Pae and Kai. Like they are my endgame, and I will not take any slander upon them. Lauren could write a whole other book with just their banter, and I would EAT it up. However, declaring my love of those two can’t just be the only thing that I loved and didn’t love throughout this whole book, even as much as I wish it was.I’ve seen plenty of reviews of this book, because I finally finished it after an eternity. And the general consensus is that there are mixed reviews all around. With which I am tending to agree with on both sides. One of the biggest problems with this book, that most people have seemed to agree upon, is that this book lacks the plot that the previous book had to it. Which is definitely true, and nothing REALLY went on in this book that really changed the trajectory of the story in any way that was significant. However, without that, we as readers were given a more personal lens to see the relationship between Pae and Kai blossom. And I’m here for it honestly.I also have seen that people were either torn about the ending. With some people guessing from the very first POV of Kitt to not really knowing until it was revealed at the end. I do have to say for myself, I saw the ending coming from a mile away, I was just confused on why it was going to happen. Although, we don’t get an answer to that question quite yet, there are some really interesting theories about it, so I can’t wait till Fearless comes out and we get answers to our questions.Overall, my opinion about this book is nothing but positive and I enjoyed seeing Pae and Kai together with this will they, won’t they when they definitely should vibe going on. The tension, the banter and the romance had me swooning; but then again, I’m a hopeless romantic at heart. If you’ve loved the story line so far in the series (from Powerless to Powerful) and you don’t mind some heavy romance with little plot in this book, I recommend a read of it. I’m hoping that it is setting us up for some big moments in the next book.Enjoy Readers! <3

Title: You’ve GOT To Be Kidding Me
Review: I don’t even know how to accurately describe this book. It was dense. It was emotional. It was an adventure. That’s the best way I know how to describe it. Much like the last book, there are so many pieces I’m excited to see puzzled out in the next book. There were surprising revelations and moments that left me scratching my head, re-reading passages, and even referencing back to Powerless at times. The banter was amazing. The writing is captivating and I, much like in Powerless, love all the travel. Also, I noticed it more in this book than I did in Powerless, but Kai’s POV rarely happens when I thought it would. They were very intentional chapters, and I appreciated how much thought Roberts put behind them. I also love how you can tell a lot about the characters and their emotions in just the names they use for each other at any given moment. The slow burn is sllllooowwww, and their romantic moments didn’t happen when or how I thought they would most chapters, either. It made them all the better, and I’m looking forward to their Happily Ever After very much. Overall, nicely done!
