My Thoughts

I have never tried a Yates novel, but I always wanted to. So I took my chance with this one. A sweet story, a little drama thrown in and some passion.

Pastors daughter, yes I gulped there, I am so glad she never said one preachy word. I mostly felt sorry for her. Her dad (which do seem like a good guy), sheltered her too much. She knew nothing of men and romance. She was 24 and had just moved out, and tried her first romance novel! But her innocence made perfect sense. She wanted to be the perfect daughter. The good daughter who the townsfolk never gossiped about. Virgin at 24 is easy to understand, not everyone want to loose it at once. The whole innocence thing was harder, but I got it as I said. She never read, watched, or talked about those things. I got the impression she was lonely too.

While Jonathan is the bad boy. Why? Oh I have no freaking idea! The man was a saint! His parents left and he, a teenager raised his sister who had been in an accident. He got a job, he prospered and he made his first million. Dang, that man needs a medal. But I guess on the way there there was prejudice, him being poor, him not being white. But why he was a bad boy, well that I did not get. He did have a lot of resentment towards everyone, but he had gone through so much.

They work together. They want more. She wants to explore. All very sweet, and they are great for each other. She needs to feel things, he needs to let go.

Harlequin, so it is short, which I liked.

Cute!

I liked her voice. She was great as Hayley, she really got her, and the gruff Jonathan. Ha, yes it was a good narration.

Heirs of Chicagoland #1

UF

For review

My thoughts

I have only read 3 Chicagoland books, but I did feel like it did not matter. This is after  24 years after those finished. Sure they talk about things from the past, but it is the present that matters.

Elisa is the daughter of two vampires. But vampires can not have children...Magical stuff happened and she was born, with something lurking in her soul. Ok so the thing inside of her was a secret and I found that silly. Her parents saved the city in 13 books, but she can not tell them this huge thing..ok. Instead she ran away to Paris (but hey who wouldn't run away to Paris!)

Now she is back with French vamps so that Europe can have peace, just like Chicago. But drama! Someone does not like that idea. Murder and mayhem ensured.

She meets her BFF again.

She meets her childhood nemesis, hunky wereprince Connor.

She meets this cool guy who she decides at once is perfect friend material.

And of course there are her parents (but to be fear, I only read 3 of their books so I did not get the feels) Others will def get all the feels.

I did like Elisa, and she was kick-ass, but the same time not. I am not saying every heroine has to be kickass, but they have to have a brain, and I felt she was saved way too often. All because she never stopped to think. Reckless is not cool. And it's not like oh she is young, other people that are young saves her ass. I hope she shapes up and does not have to be saved by men all the time. 

Conclusion:
I did enjoy the tale and I liked the baddie. But yes I hope Elisa grows a brain.

Narrator

Her vice sounded so familiar, but no, I have not listened to her before. It so bothered me. It felt like I had listened to many of her books before. But hey, that must be a good thing. If you are at ease with the narrator at once.

Cool

Blurb

In the first thrilling installment of Chloe Neill's spinoff to the New York Times best-selling Chicagoland Vampires series, a new vampire will find out just how deep blood ties run. As the only vampire child ever born, some believed Elisa Sullivan had all the luck. But the magic that helped bring her into the world left her with a dark secret. Shifter Connor Keene, the only son of North American Central Pack Apex Gabriel Keene, is the only one she trusts with it. But she's a vampire and the daughter of a Master and a Sentinel, and he's prince of the Pack and its future king. 

When the assassination of a diplomat brings old feuds to the fore again, Elisa and Connor must choose between love and family, between honor and obligation, before Chicago disappears forever.
