He wasn’t always this rich. This hot. This difficult. Aaric Christos was a guy who protected me. Wanted me. Maybe even loved me. That man is gone. In his place is the most powerful real estate tycoon in the city. He’s a cold, ruthless, aggressive businessman. The only one who can save me and my startup from ruin. It takes every ounce of courage to put my pride aside and ask for his help. I didn’t expect him to offer it easily. And he doesn’t. Instead, he vets me harder than he’s vetted anyone. Don’t invest in what you don’t know, he says. He's assessing every piece of me, to the point I've never felt so bare. I yearn for the boy I once knew, whose touch once craved me. Putting it all on the line will be worth it, I tell myself. Until I realize—too late—that some risks are not worth taking.

Katy Evans writes the best heroes. I have  yet to meet one that I do not instantly start crushing on. They tend to be alpha, but not in the over bearing aspect, and they have the perfect mixture of sweet mixed in.  Can we talk about the names she gives them? In Tycoon, Aaric Christos is our guy. Does that name not just make your uterus hurt? (Ok, maybe it is just me. I am a bit of a name girl.)

I found Tycoon to be a sweet romance, and it definitely had me doing the sighing and melting in a lot of spots. I didn't find it forced, but a lot of the events were a tad predictable. I didn't mind that at all, and I would read this one again.

If you love Katy Evans, sweet alpha males, and second chance childhood romances make sure to check this one out.

In a solar system where The Authority decides who lives and who dies, only one of their own assassins can stop them.
Glade Io is a trained killer. Marked at a young age as an individual with violent tendencies, she was taken from her family and groomed to be a Datapoint, a biotech-enabled analyst who carries out the Culling. She is meant to identify and destroy any potential threats to the human colonies. But when she’s kidnapped by rogue colonists known as the Ferrymen, everything Glade thinks she knows about the colonies, and The Authority that runs them, collapses into doubt.

Pulled between two opposing sides, and with her family’s lives hanging in the balance, Glade is unsure of who to trust—and time is running out.

Ramona Finn writes about courageous characters who fight to live in broken, dystopian worlds. She believes a person's true characters is often revealed in times of crisis, and there is no greater crisis than the worlds that she drops her characters into! 

She grew up sitting cross-legged on her town's library floor--completely engrossed in science fiction books. It was always the futuristic world or the universe-on-the-brink-of-extinction plotlines that drew her in, but it was the brave characters who chose to fight back that kept her turning the pages. 

Her books create deep, intricate worlds with bold characters determined to fight for their survival in their dystopian worlds--with a little help from their friends. And, of course, romance is never out of the question ;)

3.5-4

The Culling by Romana  Finn is an exciting ride filled with action, suspense, and a bit of romance. It is a dystopian with a sci-fi influence, and gives it it's own originality against the many popular young adult dystopian that has been gracing our shelves in recent years.

Glade is a badass chick who excels in what she does. I like that she questioned instead of just following along and not thinking like a robot. I really like her POV and reading as her thoughts as the story unfolds.

I really liked Finn' s writing style. The descriptions and world building were fantastic. I could easily see the world the story took place in. The character had a depth and continues growth that makes me excited to see how they change throughout the rest of the series

This was a really fun read. If you like the dystopian genre, you don't want to miss this one.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week a theme is given that you compose , you guessed it, a top ten list for.

This week's topic is leaders. More specifically, ten characters who would make great great leaders of a topic of our choice. Since I am on a major romance binge right now, I am going to do my list on my favorite guys. (Don't tell my hubs.)

(Regarding my binge - I might need a intervention soon.)

Ps. The covers are linked to Goodreads.

Leader of the "tortured soul" department:

This guy. His story broke my heart, but his eventual sweetness stole my heart. Key word: eventual. He has a few issues.

Leader of the "good guy" department:

Max is the guy who does things for people out of the goodness of his heart. He is kind, charming, and beautiful.

Co-Leaders of the "bad boy" department:

I couldn't pick just one of the two, so both it is. They are both boys your momma wouldn't approve of and your daddy would bring out the shotgun gun for.

Leader of the "family man" department:

Leader of the "Paranormal" department:

Leader of the "cheeky rake" department:

Leader of the "Jock" department:

Co-Leaders of the "millionaire" department:

Leader of the "childhood love" department:

Co-leaders of the "girl-crush" department:

Well, that's my list for today. What kind of leaders are your favorite characters?
