dark romance.

 
Savannah Forland profile picture
8.5-9/10!! Loved this book! Loved the heroine! She wasn’t annoying or too needy. She could actually save herself without being too much. However the last like 75-100 pages weren’t needed. started to lose me at that point.

Hitched: A Dark Hitchhiker Romance
 
Savannah Forland profile picture
3.5/10 this was in my dark romance era but this was bad. felt like the author didn’t fully understand bdsm cause like the title it was just cruel. the guy is not redeeming at all and girl should have made him grovel more.
Cruel Daddy: Dark Mafia Romance
 
Savannah Forland profile picture
disappointed with this novella 2/10. should have just stuck with the first book because that on was good. jumped around too much and threw in unnecessary plot for a novella.

Vipers and Virtuosos (Deluxe Edition)|Paperback
 
Savannah Forland profile picture
7/10 my least favorite after reading the first two. Still a good read but basically just a mix of the the first two books storyline.
Oaths and Omissions (Deluxe Edition)|Paperback
 
Savannah Forland profile picture
7-7.5/10 definitely better than the third. This one started out really good but the ending felt rushed.
Arrows and Apologies (Deluxe Edition)|Paperback
 
Savannah Forland profile picture
7.5/10 something’s were kind of confusing but it was still a pretty good story. The plot was basically all her issues but no kidnapping or hostage situations in this one!

fantasy romance.

I give this book 7.5-8/10. It was good cause I ended up reading the rest of the series but it was kind of repetitive. the characters kept going back and forth about the same thing the whole book.

8/10 for this book. Not as good as the second but better than the first. I felt like there was some plot holes and I really didn’t like how everyone treated the main guy. I felt it was unnecessary.

9.5/10 because this book reignited my love for reading like 5 years ago! such a good plot even if I saw the outcome ahead of time.

I still think the first book was better but I give this an 8/10 cause it was still interesting.
Hook, Line, and Sinker: A Novel
 
Savannah Forland profile picture
wasn’t the worst, wasn’t the best. I give it a 6.5/10. kind of boring to be honest but it had a good idea for the plot. if it wasn’t for the title the kid would be unnecessary cause the kid really didn’t need to be in it.

7.5-8/10! it was actually pretty good for an RH! a bit cliche but a good comfort book. some things were confusing though cause they didn’t say the guys ages.

middle between dark & romcom.
