My name is Nollaig, it’s the Irish word for Christmas. I hate my name. My parents loved Christmas and that’s why they gave me such a festive name, together with the fact that I was born on Christmas Day.
However, my parents are no longer with us after dying in a car accident on Christmas Eve, five years ago.
Now I hate Christmas all together.
I always hated the fact that everyone got presents on my birthday. Now my parents are gone and ever since then I just don’t feel like celebrating Christmas. Everything about this holiday gives me sad memories.
I need a miracle to happen over the Christmas holiday to make me change my mind about Christmas.
Who knew that a quick shopping trip would provide me with the miracle that I so desperately needed?

It was only a matter of time until the truth came out.
I never thought it would come to this…
I tried, God knows I tried to stay away from her but
eventually I crossed that line and broke that trust. I could no longer go back
and I sure as fuck didn’t regret a single moment of it. I knew there would be
hell to pay, I knew the wrath I’d be facing but I would willingly take the
burns and scars just to have the love of my best friend’s sister.
If there is one person I’d willingly go to hell and back for
it was…

“Is that right?” I replied arrogantly, centimeters from her
lips. “I don’t know you? Really? What part don’t I know? Maybe I don’t know the
way you move your hair to cover the side of your face when you’re nervous. Or
maybe I don’t know how you bite your bottom lip when you’re deep into your
strings. Or do you mean that I don’t know the way you freak out if it’s too
dark in a room and you won’t walk in? Or maybe I don’t know that you bite your
fingernails when you think no one is looking. Oh wait, here’s a good one. I
don’t know that you’re trembling in your skin right now. I don’t know that your
heart is beating a million miles a minute, your hands are clammy, and you can’t
swallow. How there are hundreds of thoughts going through your mind, but the
top one being how bad you want me to kiss you. How bad you want me to fuck you.
How bad you want me to claim every fucking inch of your perfect body,” I paused
to let my words sink in, and her flushed complexion gave away that everything I
was saying was true.
“You’re right. I don’t know you. I don’t see your gorgeous
smile in my sleep. I don’t hear that ridiculous giggle you have when I’m away
from you. I don’t see those dark brown eyes every time I close mine.” I leaned
in a little closer so she could feel my breath against her lips. “I don’t
stroke my cock to the memory of your sweet pussy pulsating down my shaft and
the taste of your come dripping down my chin.”

In that moment, love changes everything.
Neither Aubrey nor Tate expects the temptation the other brings nor the complications.

I still cringe when I hear that line. A fairy tale that had girls pretending they were the fairest, the most beautiful, and the most entitled. A fairy tale most couldn’t grow out of turned my haunted childhood memories into a living nightmare. Girls who grew up believing that pile of garbage became the meanest of all ‘mean girls.’
And those mean girls were right – it was a line meant for all the beautiful people in the world – and I knew the answer would never be me.
The women with long legs, flat stomachs, and perfect chests.
The type of women Kane Masters gravitated toward.
Well, that’s definitely not Willow Tate.
No. That will never be me.
Because I’m completely imperfect.
And … I hate myself.
I have no idea what Kane could possibly see in someone like me when he could have them.
My thoughts:
ARC provided by the Author in exchange for an honest review.
It was my first book by Harper. And I ultimately LOVED IT. The first chapter made me cry, second made me mad and by the end of the book I was a raging, sobbing lunatic that was happy about the ending.
In here we meet Willow. Young woman who is struggling with her weight, appearance, behaviour and to be honest? Everything. She was not able to see herself in a positive way. Everything about her for her was wrong. So very wrong she decided to change it. But where normally a change is good I think it made her even more cautious about herself. But what drew me in the most? Her kindness. Harper has pictured her as kind and sweet person, but not stupid. And that’s what made it so amazing. I can’t stand sweet and stupid woman. And because of that I would bet most of women could find a bit of themselves in Willow. And when she meets Kane? OMG. The Sparks are just flying. You can feel the attraction and that SOMETHING.
Kane. God. Sexy and handsome actor that is tired of the Hollywood drama and expectations. What he wants is a woman with curves and actual intelligence. And not only a pretty face. When he meets Willows he is sure he has found that something. But as all famous people he has his own secrets and issues. But he is desperate to overcome all of them so he can be with the woman of his dreams.
Harper has touched really sensitive subjects here and she has done it perfectly. Her story line is flawless and characters are amazingly well developed.
5 heavenly stars from me! ❤️
About the Author
Harper lives in small town Georgia just a short drive from her hometown of Peachtree City. She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed ‘Estrogen Ocean’, much to her husband’s chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her eReader attached. She enjoys bad reality TV and cheesy romantic flicks. Her favorite kind of hero–the super alpha kind!
Harper started using writing as a way to unwind when the house went to sleep at night; and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect way to just relax. It didn’t take long before a head full of very demanding alphas would stop at nothing to have their story told.
Brynn Aksel is a valkyrie—a battle goddess tasked with protecting both the God of War and the future of Asgard. She fends off giants and dark elves with an iron fist, a glossy smile, and no less than perfekt control. She’s focused one-hundred-percent on rising through the valkyrie ranks, and not at all on her lifelong crush on Henrik Andersson—the one guy in all the realms who could be her undoing.
Henrik serves as War’s other bodyguard, and he’s too focused on protecting their shared charge to realize that Brynn’s a girl. When an unprecedented surge of darkness abducts the Goddess of Love, Brynn’s already-steely focus is singularly directed on her new assignment—accompany Henrik to recover the realms’ source of light before the cosmos descends into chaos.
While battling demons, dragons, and the not-quite-dead, it becomes clear that immortality does not equal invincibility. And when Hel herself puts a hit on Brynn, the valkyrie has to decide if staying in control is worth losing everything . . . or if it’s time to rule the realms.

Amelia Bradbury is finally free from Queen Julia and Cresthaven, but she isn’t safe yet. The Keeper power runs rampant inside her and it will take an ultimate act of selflessness to contain the darkness that threatens Amelia’s sanity and the future of the Immortal race.
Aidan Montgomery refuses to give up on Amelia. Once she’s rescued from the Keeper’s hold, he intends to prove his love is more than a side effect of the prophecy, even if doing so leads him away from his pack and on a journey that will irrevocably change them both.
When the past and the present collide and the shocking origin of the Immortals is revealed, Amelia and Aidan are forced back to Cresthaven to end a war that never should have started.

Amelia grew up in a world of half-truths. She knows she’s an Elder, but has no idea what that means. Her father reminds her daily that she must maintain control, but he refuses to explain why. Even worse, she’s betrothed to the prince of the Immortals and doesn’t even know his name.
Finally breaking free to live a few normal years at a community college, the last thing Amelia expects is to find her best friend in a cheeky southern girl, or fall for a self-assured human who sees her for who she is, not what she will become.
As she learns more about herself, Amelia realizes the line between love and duty is a thin one. As her power continues to increase exponentially and her questions are slowly answered, Amelia must make the ultimate choice. The question is, will her head win the battle, or her heart?
My thoughts:
ARC provided by the Author in exchange for an honest review.
OMG. I loved this part. But it was so hard for me to get into it. Why? not because the story was bad or the writing was horrible. It was because I had “read” previous 2 parts listening to an audiobook which is simply amazingly narrated.
But book 3…it’s so hard to review it and not to put any spoilers!
This book is an awesome finale of Aidan/Amelia story. Book picks up where the second part left us and we can see that the chemistry between 2 main characters is growing and you can literally see sparks flying. They feel the pull and where Aidan is sure of his feelings towards Amelia, she herself is not so sure. She has doubts if what she feels it’s HERS or if its the prophecy telling her to feel that way. But in the end when she has a choice she is making the right decision.
Aidan. Well I liked him a lot in the previous 2 parts but here? Well damn I love him! He showed his alpha self and I loved it so much! He was demanding, sure of what he wants and he was also able to growl if needed. That’s what I like in my book boyfriends!
But the best surprise was Micah’s POV!! Like WOW! He is a BBF that I quickly started falling for! And I hope soon Ms Smith will give us more of him!
Amazing, awesome book that deserved 5 heavenly stars! ❤
