Seducing Cinderella (A Fighting for Love Novel #1) By: Gina L. Maxwell

(N) Mixed martial arts fighter Reid Andrew's chance to reclaim his title as light heavyweight champ is shattered when he's injured only months before the rematch. To make sure he's healed in time, his trainer sends him to recuperate under a professional's care - Reid's best friend's little sister, all grown up.
    Disorganized and bookish Lucie Miller needs some professional help of her own. She'd do anything to catch the eye of a doctor she's crushed on for years, so when Reid offers seduction lessons in exchange for 24/7 conditioning for the biggest fight of her carer, Lucie jumps at the chance.
     Soon Reid finds himself in the fight for his life...winning Lucie's heart before she gives it to someone else.

     It's been a while since I've read Seducing Cinderella so when I decided to pick it up again I figured why not do a review on it. For most of Seducing Cinderella I could not put it down, it was just when I got towards the end where I was like okay I'm ready for this to be done. That's not to say that this wasn't a good read it just wasn't something that held my attention from beginning to end.

Twice Bitten (Argeneau #27) By: Lynsay Sands

(N) For someone who's been around for over a hundred and forty years, immortal Elspeth Argeneau hasn't done a whole lot of living. Now that she's moved away from her controlling mother, she's tracking down rogue vampires and enjoying some overdue freedom. A fling would be fun. A life mate can wait. Yet to Elspeth's surprise, her landlady's hot grandson checks both boxes.
       Wyatt fell instantly in love with Elspeth fours years ago. He's stunned to run into her again, especially as she has no memory of him. Then again, there are a lot of things about Elspeth that don't make sense, like the miraculous speed with which her wounds heal. And the chemistry that transforms every touch into an explosion of desire. With mysterious "accidents" besieging Elspeth, the ex-Special Forces soldier appoints himself her bodyguard. But time is running out to uncover the truth about her enemies - and rediscover the man determined to love her for eternity.

      Twice Bitten, proved to me why I keep continuing on with this series. For every book that in this series that I tolerate there's another one right around the corner that I just cannot seem to put down. With each page turn I couldn't wait to find out what happened next and managed lose track of time because I was so invested with this story. It's stories like this as to why I keep coming back to this series.

A Beautiful Evil (Gods & Monsters #2) By: Kelly Keaton

(N) When Ari first arrived in the dilapidated city of New 2, all she wanted was to figure out who she was. But what she discovered was beyond her worst nightmare. Ari is a descendant of Medusa and can already sense the evil growing inside her - a power the goddess Athena will stop at nothing to possess.
        Desperate to hold onto her humanity and protect her loved one, Ari must fight back. But Athena's playing mind games, not just with Ari, but with those she cares about most. And Athena has a very special plan for the brooding and sexy Sebastian.
        Ari is determined to defeat Athena, but time is running out. With no other options, Ari must unleash the very thing she's afraid of: herself.
    
        A Beautiful Evil, is the second book in the Gods and Monsters series and just like with the previous book I could not put this book down. If you haven't given this series a read than I suggest you do.

Darkness Becomes Her (Gods & Monsters #1) By: Kelly Keaton

 (N) Ari can't help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can't be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is.
        Her search for answers uncovers a message from her long dead mother: Run. Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it's impossible to protect herself when she doesn't know what she's running from or why she is being pursed.
        She knows only one thing: she must return to her birthplace of New 2, the lush rebuilt city of New Orleans. Upon arriving, she discovers that New 2 is very...different. Here, Ari is seemingly normal. But every creature she encounters, no matter how deadly or horrifying, is afraid of her.
        Ari won't stop until she knows why. But some truths are too haunting, too terrifying, to ever be revealed.

        I first read Darkness Becomes Her years ago and wanted to give it another read. Just like years ago I could not put this down. This is still a book worth reading.
