This was my first by Gina L. Maxwell. Even though this was published this year, this book was on my TBR list for a while before that. Bryn Meara stumbles into Vegas after she loses her job as a PR specialist. Caiden Verran is a billionaire who happens to own the hotel they’re in, as well as half of Vegas. They spend the night together celebrating her unemployment, only to wake up married the next morning – with no memory of how they got there. To top it all off, Bryn discovers Caiden is actually a Dark Fae king and she’s stuck in his world until they can reverse their vows. I really loved the premise of this one and might have held on to high expectations for it. Maxwell created a beautifully dark world underneath that typical Vegas vibe. I enjoyed watching Bryn put Caiden in his place whenever he tried to walk all over her. Their transition from enemies to lovers made me laugh at times and want to cry at others. It was great to learn about the cast of Fae royalty and the circumstances of their people’s banishment. I’m excited for book 2, which centers around one of Caiden’s brothers and continue some plot points from book 1. (4/5 rating)

Book Review – Sunshine and Bullets (The Bullets 1) by Coralee June
Checked out with my kindle unlimited membership in January 2023. I wanted to love this book, but I could not get into any of the characters. I understand that our MC has an abusive past, as does the other romantic interests in her life, but I was a bit disappointed that she let Gavriel walk all over her. To me, it didn’t appear that she had changed as a character much, even though she calls herself strong. I would have believed it if she had told him off or tried to solve her own problems at all. Sorry this one just wasn’t for me. (2/5 rating)
