Recommended Reads 2021

Introducing a new Brother is always exciting, but Sahvage turned out to be better than I expected. Not only did I enjoy the romance, but this book made a lot of important progress with the worldbuilding and politics of the series. I think fans of this series definitely shouldn’t miss out on this one because a lot of interesting things happen, making this a favorite of mine this year.

PARANORMAL ROMANCE

After watching and reading the Bridgertons, I needed more historical romance and I was told Lisa Kleypas should be my next read. Well, I did and I ended up bingeing The Hathaways, The Ravenels, and The Travis Family in January and February. I could not get enough of her writing, lovable characters, and stories that made me swoon. Devil in Disguise, book seven of the Ravenels is coming in July and I’m excited to get more Kleypas in my system.

HISTORICAL + CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

Goodreads  Amazon  Review

I just finished The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba by Chanel Cleeton and it is one of the best books I’ve read in 2021. It’s about three strong women who paved the way for the women of today. It’s both heartbreaking and uplifting. Cleeton did a great job, as always.

My favourite book of 2021 so far! And honestly, I think it will just become my favourite book of 2021 in general once we get to December. Is that because I am an Ilona Andrews superfan? I don’t think so although my objectivity may be suspect. However, I believe that BLOOD HEIR stands for itself. This was action packed, funny with a heroine that managed to be both relatable and kick ass. Then, we have the romance aspect which was just germinating in this book and I can’t wait for it to grow in future instalments. So, if you haven’t already, pick it up and give it a try.

If you want a book that keeps you guessing to the end, this is the one for you. We all know Nalini Singh as the queen of paranormal romance, but she has now ventured into the thriller genre and nailed it. QUIET IN HER BONES was a unique read where you are never quite sure what is real, it’s a read that will keep you on your toes!

THRILLER

Goodreads  Amazon  Review

This is book six in the Rockton series, so if it intrigues you – which it should, it’s excellent – then go back to the first book and start from there, this isn’t really a series that should be read out of order. It’s a thriller that takes place in a closed environment, an environment that is just as deadly as the people surrounding our main characters.

THRILLER

The writing style of this book fit the story so perfectly. It’s raw and intense but still with the Amy Harmon stamp of profound words that dig deep into your mind and soul, explores so many human emotions including, or especially, the ugliness. If you’re looking for a story of strength and resilience, with a bit of heartbreak for good measure and complex, compelling characters, look no further. Perfect for fans of DAISY JONES AND THE SIX.⁣
