My Last Five Reads | May

My Last Five Reads | May

May 19, 2022 Posted by angelreads Last 5 Reads No Comments

I’ve really been liking doing these posts the last couple of months, so today we are doing another look at my last five reads. My reading has been so much better lately, especially since I’ve not had a great two months. But I’m finally feeling in the mood and loving reading at the moment. 

I also want to note, that I do write these posts a little in advance but not too much. So if you follow me on GoodReads, you might notice that we are a little behind. Anyway, let’s get right into it. Also if I binge read a series I just include it as ‘one book’ for this. Let’s go! 

Red Ridge Sinners MC #2-4 by Caitlyn Dare: I’ve put off reading this series until it was completed and I realised a few days ago it finally was. So I read books 2-4 which follows River and her men Diesel, Zach, and Jax. This is an MC romance that is dark, and gritty and I’m really into it. It’s very much a hate/dislike to love romance between River and her men.

There is a dark romance, with quite a few trigger warnings. So before you pick this one up, please just check before you read it. 

But if you like those times of romances with love- interests that just aren’t that kind, then pick this up. 

Pack Origin (A Blissful Omegaverse #0.5) by Kate King and Jessa Wilder: There isn’t much to say about this one. It’s just under 100 pages but is an excellent introduction to the world that these authors have created. 

Pack Origin follows Bliss in an omengaverse world. Living in a foster home with the boys that have always been there for her. She’s a beta, they are alphas but that doesn’t change much between them. Then things start to change. Not just between Bliss and her boys, but within Bliss herself.  

I’m not sure when I’m going to start the rest of the series, but I’m excited.  

Triple-Duty Bodyguards by Lily Gold: I didn’t know what to expect when I started this book. It sounded intriguing and I wanted a fun read. It’s not a ‘fun’ read per se. I still did enjoy it a lot. 

When Briar is confronted with a stranger in her own home, she knows she needs more protection. Bring in the Angels and now Briar doesn’t just have one man to protect her but three. 

They are protective, aggressive and will do anything for Briar. It started off making sure she is protected, then it turns into making sure she is also loved. 

 

Lessons in Corruption (The Fallen Men #1) by Giana Darling: This was actually a re-read for me. In my anticipation for the upcoming book in this series. I wanted to do a re-read and just get myself back into the world and timeline. 

I really do love this series, and this is the book that kicked it off for me. Please check trigger warnings before jumping into this book and series. This one has an age gap romance with some forbidden territories. I’m so excited about the new book. Ekk. 

 

One Night in Garoureve (The Shifters of Garoureve #1) by Elle M. Drew: I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. But as soon as I started it, I knew I was going to love it and I did. 

It’s sexy and hot. But also really addicting. The romance was really interesting and I loved them together. I wish we were able to see a little more of the life after secrets are revealed, however, it’s a series. So I am hoping we see them again soon. 

I can’t wait to continue reading the rest of the series. It makes me so excited. 

And there we go. Those are the last five books that I’ve read so far this month. As you can see from this post I’ve really enjoyed a lot of my last five reads. What have you read recently? Did you enjoy them? Let’s chat!

April was a very good reading month for me, especi April was a very good reading month for me, especially after last month. I had some really fantastic reads in April. I did do a lot of re-reading this month but I had such blast. I re-read Caught Up and Play Along and the first 4 books in the Ironside Academy series. 📚

I read some books that I’ve been waiting for including the new book from Kels and Denise Stone, as well as the new Tessa Hale. ✨

Overall it was such a good month, lots of binge reading series and starting on some new authors. I’m so excited to see what May brings. 🖤

What was your favourite book that you read in April?

IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️ If you didn’t know al IT’S RACE WEEK! 🏎️

If you didn’t know already I love F1, have ever since I was younger and decided that this year it would be fun to combined my love for F1 and reading together. 📚

After a week off we are back at it. We are in Miami this week’s and things are only just heating up. This week I’m reading Falling Off the Cliff  Kanitha P.

…

Formula 1 legend in the making and rising star Thiago Valencia is chasing redemption as well as his second World Champion title. With a tarnished reputation and an undetermined future in F1 that hangs by a terribly loose thread, he can’t afford to lose his seat. Thiago is ready to do anything to redeem himself and erase his past mistakes. When a mysterious woman intrudes on his private party in Monte Carlo, he is certain the universe has brought his polar opposite into his life as salvation. He is sunshine, she is moonlight; he is a bright star and she is a moonbeam.

Destiny takes the wheel, steering Kamari into Thiago’s orbit, but her open disdain and closely guarded heart warn her to stay away. Enchanted by her charms, Thiago is intent on melting her freezing barriers and tearing down the walls shielding her heart.

When Kamari agrees to help him save his future by being his fake girlfriend, the unexpected happens, triggered by a game of lies, secrets and desire.

As they plunge towards the finish line, the race veers offtrack and neither of them are ready to fall off the cliff.
… 

How Race Week Reads Will Work 

On Monday of race week I’ll announce the book I’ll be reading for the week, then throughout the week I’ll be posting stories and my thoughts. And then on Sunday, race day my review and final thoughts will go up.

A little late but I am finally getting to share Ra A little late but I am finally getting to share Race 5’s Race Week Reads review. This week I read, Downforce (Pit Lane #1) by Hannah Lily.

🏎️ Review 🏎️

I had so much fun reading this book. I knew I was in for a ride as soon as I started Downforce. It was entertaining, fun, and I just had a good time reading it. And while it does explore some heavy topics, I don’t think it took away from the fun nature of the book.

Right from the start, we can see the tension between F1 Presenter, Olivia Fraser and F1 Driver, Jonah Scott. And while silly at times, it was fun seeing them interact together. Both really didn’t like each other. They both had said things about and to one another that sometimes it caused chaos. And I was here for it.

I did find that at times, just silly things happened. I am not a massive rom-com reader, and there was a lot of falling into one another, and arguments stemmed from nothing. This is honestly just because I don’t like these types of scenes, but it didn’t really make me dislike the book at all.

I loved the whole road trip aspect of the book, it’s different from other F1 books I’ve read so far this year and just made for some interesting banter and lust. I do wish that the road trip was a little longer than it was because I did feel like the romance moved pretty quickly here, but again, it didn’t really affect how much I was enjoying the book.

The romance was this combination of being slow burn and full of angst right at the start, to the road trip happening and then bam. But I loved it, though. The banter between Olivia and Jonah was fantastic. I loved seeing them grow not only with one another but with themselves as well.

Overall, I had a great time reading Downforce and will be continuing the series for sure when the other books come out. The romance was angsty and just felt right. The found family aspect really worked well here, and the F1 aspects were pretty okay. Not the best I’ve seen, but not the worst either. If you are looking for a fun read that has a great romance and a little rom-comy, then pick this one up.
I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. I’ve already had a pretty amazing reading year. There have been so many books that I have enjoyed but there are some that I have just loved. 🖤

I didn’t realise before I put this post together that all of these books are from authors I’ve read and loved before. There hasn’t been a Rebecca Yarros book that I haven’t rated under 4 Stars. Elsie Silver is just making me love everything that she writes. Wild and Wrangled may be my favourite in the series. 📖

Three rereads also made it to this list. Binding 13 still makes me gasp and smile all at the same time. And Caught Up and Play Along just hit every time. 📚

I’ve honestly had a great year so far and since making this post a few more books I’ve read I’ve ended up loving. It’s going to be hard to pick my favourites at the end of the year that is for sure. ✨

What books have you loved reading this year? Are any books that made my list on yours? Let me know!
