I liked the angst and the second chance romances. They were super hot, and had major alpha heroes. They are all stand alones, but about the same group of guys.

The plot, conflict, and build-up was nicely employed throughout this book. ![]() When they finally come together, the reader is as fully invested in the romance as the leads because there was so much depth that had been created before they decided on making it a "forever" kind of love. The romance developed very felt natural and each moment built off of the previous. ![]() When Iris describes Dex you can't help but feel that his body language was screaming for her. Iris has her own story filled with heartache and tragedy, but OMG she's definitely got fight in her, and I loved that! Iris's thoughts are funny because she can be so crude and tends to hyper-focus on the feeling of throwing up or passing gas during stressful situations.a bit immature, but so funny! I liked the hero, Dex Locke, he had great sex appeal.masculine, brooding, moody, but very interested.I loved how Iris and Dex clashed at first, but that's where all of the body language came into play. ![]() The story is told through Iris's POV and she is an interesting character. This was a really fun and enjoyable audiobook!

Except here, there is far more evil afoot. Think of it like Toy Story, where the animals, instead of toys, have thoughts and relationships that the humans don’t see. “Beasts of Burden” has no such problem – this is a straight up talking animals/withcraft book. This is something that a lot of comics have seemed to get away from now, we get ‘realistic’ stories about men who dress as bats or who were bitten by a radioactive spider, instead of using the medium to its full possibilities. I see this in my four year old daughter, who creates sometimes incredibly intricate – and sometimes incredibly mundane – worlds to play in, where anything goes. In so many ways, this is something that I really miss from my childhood of playing with friends, imagining we were astronauts or that our dogs were delivering us secret messages or that we were spies, collecting important information on our parents to use against them one day. ![]() Part of why I am a comics fan is because comics can allow you to do anything and go anywhere – there is literally nothing that can’t be done in a comic.
