Review For Ansel

ABOUT THE BOOK:

This is the third book from The Regiville Tales, a series of full-length novels by Desirae Grove. Each book in this series can be read as a stand-alone, with its own HEA and no cliffhangers! 

When Juniper’s friend Elysa invites her to dinner, the last thing she expects is to be set up on a blind date. And if that wasn’t the worst surprise ever, her date turns out to be her middle school nemesis, Ansel. Except now he looks like a male supermodel, with his dark hair, broody eyes, and a chiseled muscular body that makes her swoon. How can she ever say no to him, even if he teased her mercilessly when they were kids? 

Ansel, a broody, freedom-loving werepanther, was ready to move to another country when his brother Kye invites him to dinner, only to find out he’s being set up on a blind date. When it turns out his date is Juniper, his long-forgotten crush, he can’t help but try to take things further with her. After all, he’s only been dreaming of her all his life. And women have never been able to say no to him in the past - his reputation as a man-whore was well deserved. 

Their first date turns south very quickly, however. It’s full moon in the mysterious town of Regiville, and all kinds of creatures come out to play. Juniper is attacked by a beast and may or may not turn into…something she only thought was an urban myth. Don’t miss out on this tale of incredible adventures, as the two old friends try to untangle the mess they find themselves in and slowly fall in love with each other.

MY REVIEW: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 

I received a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The fact that I recived this book for free in no way affects my views of the book.

Thrust into a paranormal romance this book keeps you hooked from page 1. If you love paranormal romance than you will love this book.

This book was great, and I am happy to get the chance to read it. The character and world building was great. I was able to live in this world from 2 points of view. I absolutely loved that the book alternated through both main characters so that you don't miss how both feel, and react to everything.

This book was action packed so I never once lost interest. Even my parents dogs enjoyed the book. I happened to be house sitting, and reading out loud. Everytime I stopped reading the beagles would perk up their head up and give me that look of why did you stop.

When I had to go to bed in the middle of this book I found myself still thinking about the book. My heart was pounding, because I wanted to finish the book. I couldn't wait until the next time I got to sit down with this book.

I would recommend this book to adults that love a good paranormal romance.

BONDS REVIEW

About the book:

Half the village of Breccan lies dead – slaughtered. All that stands between Antony Cardover and his freedom is his wife, Isabella, or so he believes.

In his wrath at his wife’s adultery, Antony trades his soul for the chance of vengeance. His price? An eternity as a monster – a man bearing a vampire curse. To stop him, the curse must be broken. To break the curse, Isabella and all her descendants must be destroyed. The catch? Only Antony can break the curse.

With Breccan in mourning and Antony on the rampage, only one person can help. Anna Martindale, a witch shunned by the villagers, entombs Antony within a stone sarcophagus, bound by spells and buried in hallowed ground for the rest of time.

Breccan breathes again. Time heals.

That was four hundred years ago.

Seventeenth century spells, however, are no match for twenty first century living. As Ramply Homes moves in, the secret of St Martin’s churchyard prepares to move out.

As the church is desecrated, the spells that hold Antony break. Soon, Becca Martin, a descendant of Isabella, is plagued by dreams of a time and a man she cannot possibly have known.

As her nightmares become real, Becca has no choice but to contact the one person who will be able to help; someone she has not spoken to in a decade – her mother.

Here, Becca discovers the truth about her ancestry and is forced to face up to whom and what she is. Only a wooden box and her gift hold the key to her survival.

Four hundred years ago Antony failed. He will not fail again

My Review: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I received a free copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The fact that this book was given to me for free in no way affects my opinion of the book.

When I read about the book I felt like I had to read it. Once I started reading it life seemed to get in the way, but not for long. The book called to me every time I got the chance to read.

I felt a deep connection to the characters, because they were built so well. Their looks, and their personality were extremely easy to connect with. This is one of the things that made this book so good to me. I like to be able to get to know, and connect with the characters, and to feel what they feel. This book did exactly that, and that kept me hooked.

This book kept me up tonight, because I just couldn't go another day without finishing the book. Not finishing it drove me nuts, because the book was so well written. I mean magic, and when I say magic it actually seems so real. You get a double take from the past so that you don't miss any part of the story. I never once had any confusion with this book. The story was complete in every way. The author made sure you didn't wonder; "well how did this happen?" Which was great, because that means you got every bit of the story that you needed to make sure you aren't missing a thing.

Because of certain violent, and mature situations I would recommend this book to adults.
