She likes to rain a lot this year.
Even now as I get ready to post this (which I forgot to do
last night because I was at a Dragons game, who won in the 10th, by the way), a
little rain cloud just let loose. Didn’t last long, but I’m sure more will
follow.
At least we know we’re next. We were told they would form
the driveway and such this week. Hasn’t happened yet, but I’m sure on that next
clear day, workers will be in our yard getting it ready for concrete.
And then we hope no rain hits for a few days so it’ll get
poured!
Here’s what I finished reading this week:
Book #21
Dates read: June 12-23
Title: The Emerald Lily
Year of publication: 2018
Author: Juliette Cross
Genre: Paranormal romance
Series: Vampire Blood #4
# of Pages: 275
Paper or plastic: Nook e-book
How obtained: Purchased
Blurb from Goodreads: When Princess Vilhelmina Dragomir is awakened from her hellish sleep with a blood kiss from a handsome stranger, she learns that much has changed while she’s been away. The armies of the Black Lily and the vampire Crown have amassed and are on the brink of war.
No romantic entanglements, no family. Mikhail Romanov, Captain of the Bloodguard, took a vow when he joined the Bloodguard. But he never planned for the gut-punching attraction he would feel for the untouchable princess. He must keep his focus, though. In order to avenge his family, it’s essential he help Mina claim her crown and keep his damn hands off of her.
But Mina sets her heart on the elusive captain, and keeping his focus on the great battle ahead becomes harder and harder. While they're making plans, the evil King Dominik has been making some of his own. This time, he will show no mercy to the Princess…
My thoughts: Whoo hoo! Quite the ending to this series. I noticed (probably by the third book because I’m slow and because of the heroine’s name: Brennalyn SNOW), that each book features a different fairy tale. #1 is Cinderella, #2 is Red Riding Hood, #3 is Snow White, and #4 is Sleeping Beauty. So if you’re into those kinds of stories with a bunch of sexy vampires, then this series is for you! I certainly enjoyed them all.

So… Has Mother Nature messed with any of your plans lately?
At least the rain stopped about an hour before last night’s Dragons game, so it
was able to start on time. And it was nice to see the Dragons win, too (they
haven’t been playing all that well lately).
Happy Reading
