Eighteen year old Cassidy wants just two things in life, to get into college, and to be a famous rock star with is band; he is on the verge of attaining both when he receives the fateful phone call, both his parents have been killed in a car crash. All he can think about now is keeping what is le...
I really like this book tho I would have loved to read more of the characters involved specially Chris and his Demon. I feel kinda disappointed when i found out this is a standalone book and that tho Dance with the Devil is a series, the other following books are more or less standalone too (i st...
One of the things that I've found I gravitate towards in the books I read is when it seems like everyone underestimates the main character. This theme is prevalent in a lot of Megan's books, particularly in this one. You have Allen, a prince who takes his future role seriously and does his best. ...
This was a fun, quick read. It was even better because I got it for free off of amazon!Jack is a normal typical Delivery man. He hates his job, but that one delivery every week to a little old lady who gives him cookies and refreshments always makes it better. Even though it is against policy to ...
This one is fun. The characters are all likeable. Breaking the plot into case studies is a great idea for someone like Derr, who excels at short stories and is less good at maintaining tension throughout a novel.Derr is a master at the "bait-and-switch" when it comes to romantic interests. You...
Short and cute :) it's only shortcoming is that it was rather bland, nothing happened! And I laughed at rather inappropriate moments. . .Oh, and I would have liked more focus on the setting, and the whole mage and gem concept. It was very intriguing and I would have liked to see more of it!Recomm...
A sweet little Cinderella-esque story, that doesn’t actually hold too many elements of the fairytale. There were so many pieces of this that I enjoyed but to be honest overall I actually found it a bit slow moving and boring. Considering it was a short story that feels a bit disloyal to say about...
I really liked this book. I liked the writing style, the tone, the characters, the setting. It was a great read that made me interested in what else the writer has published, turns out she has like a zillion other books. So not only is she a good writer, she's a prolific one too. I hope to be jus...
Special BINGO Challenge: December Holidays!3.5 starsThere is really only one way to describe this story: sweet.Sherlock, his first name, is a candy shop owner who inherited the business, much to his parents' dismay, from his grandfather.Basil (in the USA, really?) is a former school jock who has ...
I love Megan Derr stories. So sweet and lovely and hopeful and her characters always fit together so perfectly well. This was yet another beautiful example.Reyes is a lovely main character, sweet and self-effacing, hard-working and loyal, and completely in love with Kinnaird. The world was als...
This is actually the first threesome that I've read, that has made me feel like none of the participants of the relationship were left out. They felt like a solid threesome, even if their relationship is only a fledgling thing with this story. I got the sense that all three of them will cherish e...
I'm actually reading this series in order. *gasp* I don't typically do that with novellas, but I want to get to know these characters, and this is a fun way to see them evolve. I could sympathize with Wally. We've all dated or married someone who we thought was worthy of us, or more 'wonderful' t...
Fantasy. Royalty. Dragons. Betrayal. Romance. A combination that I usually cannot turn down and this is no exception. Megan Derr's fantasy m/m romances are some of my favorite to read. Even though this one isn't very long, I got a sense of this rich world that Derr has created for these ch...
3.5 starsIt's nice story, but somehow I didn't get as much sexual tension from the MCs. Given their predicament, I'd expect to see more.I like the story. It reminds me that activists--regardless which side they are on--sometimes hurt their own cause with their actions.The cover, that shows Hansel...
Well, on the contrary to what I expected it was purely the usual story of missunderstanding and...that was basically all. Even the pups didn´t save it. The story was very brief, moving fast but guess there´s no other way since there was nothing to solve or think about too long. That was quite a l...
Thought I already left a review, hmmm...Anyway, in short, I loved this work. A good and unique plot, delayed onset of the sexual relationship, a very cute baby, magic, unexpected happenings, upward social mobility, a grumpy and powerful main character, another main character who always made me s...
This is not only an excellent m/m romance, but also an excellent fantasy novel.In a world that's like an alternate universe version of Medieval England (even down to how time is measured in 'marks', as in the old way of measuring time by candle marks), we are thrust into the lives of three couple...
Taking all three short stories together this is probably only a 3 star book but I'm going to rate it 4 stars because I loved the character of Dagger so very much. He was awesome. His story was the most delightful retelling of Cinderella I've ever read.I wasn't a fan of the third story in the bo...
Normally I think Megan Derr is a master at writing a short story. She seems to have this incredible ability to cram so much action PLUS a satisfying ending into few pages...I normally love her work. I just liked this one, though. The ending left much to be desired and I so wish it had been lon...
3.5 stars. A decent book, I understand a serial first (which is somewhat obvious in the writing style), action based with a complicated enough plat to keep it interesting and a well written hero, Vellem. Truly I loved Vellem, a geeky hero fascinated by engineering and building things whose also...
Rock stars, family drama and incest! What's not to love about this?The passion between Jet and Jason was hot and enthralling to read. They have trouble being honest with each other and that's pretty much the cause for all the obstacles to their romance.I liked the incest aspect of this story. The...
While dragons had been a part if previous novels in this series, this book is all about them so if you wanted to know more, this is for you. Unlike the rest if the series, this novel has no cases and focuses exclusively on the dragons and making a better life for them outside if the pits. Throw i...
4.0 StarsThis is Kristof's and Hakon's story and it precedes Book 1, chronologically. I enjoyed this installment in the Princes of the Blood series. As per usual, Megan Derr did a wonderful job weaving a suspenseful plot within the intriguing world she has built. Kristof was awesome; although Hak...
Definitely one of my favorites in this series. Jackie is a gunslinger and a sorcerer straight from the old west. Calling everybody "hoss" and being as polite as the old westerns would like us to believe everybody was at that time. Very old fashioned MC but he is very charming and has nice no-nons...
This is a great follow up story to "Delivery With a Smile," but what made me happiest about this story is the fact that it was able to tie in characters and an very old plot from Megan Derr's early days of writing. It is a solid story over all that takes place in the same universe as one of her o...
"Highness! Highness!" "What?" Culebra gasped, reaching up to stop her and shove her back. "Is something wrong?" "You were screaming," Cortez said. "It sounded like somebody was murdering or torturing you. It was disturbing, even to me, and I have seen men killed and tortured. Are you all right?" ...
"Do not touch me. If you want to touch, you can go back to your stupid ex. I said do not touch me!" Slapping at Grim's hands again, he turned and stalked across the bar to the pool table, leaving Grim to hang up their wet, muddy coats. Angry, he yanked down his cue stick from the rack. The balls ...
His fingers skated across his stomach, the tattoo there burning with memory and the fear that somehow Lesto would see it. Then what would Shemal say? A hundred hundred times his mother had warned him he would one day get exactly what he deserved for being a restless, uncaring devil. Only the ocea...
There was also a general ache and a nauseous feeling, but he had the sense that it all could have been much worse. He tried to sit up, but then immediately regretted the action and fell back on the bed with a loud groan. Bed? He opened his eyes and took in his surroundings. He was in a small, dim...
He hadn't planned on killing the bastard unless absolutely necessary, but one month into the search, a kill order was delivered via royal falcon, alongside a letter from his uncle confirming Rochus's suspicions that Hoffman was behind it all. He'd gotten further confirmation by way of the necroma...
By the time the fifth one was taken from her bed and dragged off into the forest, never to be seen again, they knew it would never end, but still they were reluctant to summon a Huntress. After they woke to find a child had been taken, the villagers conceded they had no choice. They chose their f...
He could assign one of his men to see to it they were regularly fed and didn't kill each other, and he'd be able to enjoy the voyage in relative peace. He sighed as the harbor bells rang, announcing the formal arrival of dawn. And there they were, two unmistakable figures approaching the ship. Th...
He stared idly at the bodies on the floor as he dropped it on the floor. The floor was wet and stained in several places; the room reeked of blood and sweat and excrement. Before long, the bodies would start to smell as well. Four men lay unmoving against the far wall, a fifth at his feet. All we...
More. Flower. He was going to start killing people. Huffing out an irritated breath, he gingerly made his way through the veritable forest of flowers that filled his office, their combined scents strong enough to start a headache buzzing. There was nothing quite as aggravating as the Days of Devo...
The smell of it was nauseating, but if he did not put something on his stomach, the council meeting would be even more torturous. Ruth frowned at him. "You need more rest, my lord." "Alas, I've far too much to do," Demir replied. "I have been personally summoned to attend a council meeting today....
He knew better than anyone that hunting a killer was aggravating work, but that did not ease the aggravation. Killers, thieves, robbers—he had unintentionally made a career of tracking down brigands of all sorts, ever since leaving the mountain monastery he had called home for many years. Being s...
Those with whom he'd spoken had said they'd seen Koray headed this direction, but Sorin had yet to spy a single gray hair. He wanted Koray, damn it. He had been buried in meetings and battles and more meetings for a very long fortnight, and every time he'd had a moment's respite, Koray had been s...
He was tired, his head hurt, and he was sore from having gotten off a cramped ship only to go straight into a cramped carriage. All he wanted was a hot bath and a warm bed. The whole rotten trip, from the rough sea trip to the jarring carriage ride, was not the fault of the coachman, and taking h...
He fastened the tarnished silver clasp and slid the black leather Book of Prayers into the satchel that carried all his work necessities and went everywhere with him. Waiting until the other passengers had finally filtered out of his box, he then slowly unfolded himself from his seat. From the em...
He says he brings a message of importance and will speak to no one but you. We have placed him in the private waiting room.” Nanda did not react, but he knew Aik had sensed his displeasure. “Thank you,” he said. “I will go and see him at once. Please make sure there are at least two guards presen...
"Shut your mouth." "When have I ever done that?" "Only reply to that is crude, and I won't lower myself," Fynn replied tartly. "Finish your food so we can get home already. I'm ready for a bath, my own bed, and to not have to look at your ugly face for a few days." Teller snickered as he resumed ...
Days had passed since that moment in the garden and still he did not have an answer. Why had he kissed the High Priest? Why had he betrayed Pechal that way? Why did it still feel as if it had been the right thing to do? Worst of all, he wanted to do it again. To do more. Raz leaned his head back ...
It was barely disturbed by a current of air sucked in when the front door opened. Ash Harmon—Ashley to only his momma—looked up from the counter where he'd been jotting inventory notes for his next order to the Louisiana purveyor who kept him supplied with trinkets to sell. The visitor was a woma...
The tongue-lashing Sarrica started to give him froze on his tongue, as he realized the man looked as though he had run from the opposite end of the kingdom without pause. He was also dressed in the uniform of the Three-headed Dragons, which did not bode well. "Majesty!" "Breathe," Sarrica said, h...
The tropics were boring. Why did everyone want to go to tropical islands for vacation? He stifled a sigh as he watched his friends haggle over mugs and t-shirts and other shit they'd forget existed after being home for a week. Finishing his lychee bubble tea, he wandered over to the edge of the t...
After an entire day of running messages around the city, only the briefest nap before the ball, followed by the ball and his time in the parlor with Gael ... Being extremely busy was not unusual. Most people thought the hardest part of being the Voice was not sharing all the secrets to which he m...
