This is the first real Retelling of Red Shoes that I have read and I thought it was a very enjoyable story. I loved the character Jarl and enjoyed seeing him and Nora together. This story takes place during the same timeframe as The Swan Bride: A Swan Lake Retelling and is more enjoyable when they are read together however they can each be read as standalone stories since they focus on different characters. I look forward to reading more of this series and other Fairy Tale Retellings by this author in the future.

This was a really fun Retelling of A Swan Lake and did a great job of tying it in with the authors other Fairy tale retellings while still working as a standalone story. It was fun getting peaks of The Shoeless Prince: A Puss in Boots Retelling as well as the upcoming book The Soulless Prince: A Tam'lin Retelling. I loved getting to know both Leda and Freddie in this story as well as Freddie's brother Theo and friend Prince Briar who I hope to read more about in future stories. I am also looking forward to reading more about Nora from the Selection Ball in her story The Storybook Bride: A Red Shoes Retelling.

This was my first book by Natasha Sterling and I thought it was a fairly enjoyable instalove romance. It is the second book in the Cherry Peaks Protectors series of standalone romances set in the small town of Cherry Peaks. I thought Robert & Bella made a good couple and the epilogue wrapped up their story giving a peak into their future.

This was a fun and quick instalove story about Chaz & Dakota. I enjoyed getting to know both of them and thought the epilogue was cute. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

This was another really fun book in the Fairhaven Falls series of connected standalone romances set in the small town of Fairhaven Falls. I enjoyed getting to know both Eric and Robin in this story and seeing how everything came together for the two of them. Flora was also as fun as always and I look forward to reading the next book Bidding on the Orc Outcast about Posy and Varek.

I really enjoyed this book and getting to know Levi better after having gotten to briefly know him in My Mountain Man Valentine (this book does work perfectly fine as a standalone though) as well as getting to know Mindy and her 8 year old twin sons Cody & Connor. Levi and Mindy made a nice couple and Cody & Connor were really fun characters to get to know as well. I look forward to reading the next book set in this fun small town.

This was another nice addition to this series of Spicy Romantasy Fairy Tales and I thought it was an enjoyable Retelling of Peter Pan. I haven't read many Peter Pan Retellings but this was the first I have read with Peter Pan cast as the hero of the story and I thought it was well done. The epilogue at the end also did a nice job of wrapping up Evie and Pan's story.
