Natasha Preston is one of the most flexible author I have read. She can either make you cry or keep you on your toes. Lie to Me definitely did not disappoint.

I like that the story actually delivered the blurb. It's kind of hard to sometimes read the blurb because they do not really say what you're in for. I liked the pacing od the story, not too fast or not too slow either. The story plot is not as usual as the other stories I read recently where things doesn't really go bad between the characters. I also liked that it portryed two different kind of family a person can have.

It's kind of hard for me to love a heroine. I mostly find them lacking. But Savannah is just different. Apart from her familial issues, which I can't blame her for actually, I like her personality and sass. I likw that even if she is a bit unsure of herself, she can still hold her own. Kent is also definitely going onto my never ending list of BBF. I like that he genuinely despised Savannah but still acted like a good person when the situation calls for it.

I would give this a definite 5 stars. A breath of fresh story frok the recent read I have.

Wheeler is the fourth and final book of the series and written by Ker Dukey. This isn't the first book I read of hers and she did not disappoint.

I like that the last installment wasn't really a love story or romance. I liked that even though the story was fast, it did worked with the timeline of the other books. So I think that even if they said that it can be read in any order, I'd still read them in order they were released as it would make more sense. I like that the story kept me on the edge of my seat and that this is something that I was able to read in one sitting for a while. The storyline will keep you thinking what is in store for you.

I liked Jax best among all the other fathers. I think he is the only one that actually cares about their child. Or the one that actually takes care of her the way a father should. And despite his shortcoming as a person, he still manage to give what he can to his only family.

I'd give this five stars because ​of how it made me feel while reading it.

Pearson is the third book on the Four Fathers series and is written by K Webster.

I've never been a fan of Taboo stories but somehow, when it's written by K Webster, I tend to change my opinion. So it's a bit disappointing for me not to be able to connect to this book. I normally loved K's work, even the taboo ones, but for some reason, I haven't really enjoyed how the story flowed and how things unfold. It seems too fast for my liking. I think the only thing I liked about the story is how it intertwines with the other books. Although it is said that the series was a standalone, It still shows a little of the other characters that may home you of how the other stories ended.

Eric, I'm assuming, was supposed to be portrayed as an alpha male. Although he acts a little domineering, I didn't really see him as a good alpha character. But he does take care of what is his so, that should be a start. Rowan is okay. Nothing to brag about but not really down to the lowest level. She can take care of herself and holds her own with Eric at times.

Overall, I'd still rate this a three. Just like Kingston since I was still able to finish the book and not feel that it was a waste of time

Kingston is the second book on the Four Fathers series and the first book of this author.

I wasn't really able to connect with the book. For some reasons, the story seems so fast paced that it left out the story itself. Maybe I'm just a little prude or naive, but I can not really begin to comprehend how their story is possible. I did skim through some of the erotic parts. It was just too much for me to handle.

Even though, the story really didn't connect to me, the characters were a different story. I like how the hero and heroine were both strong and weak at the same time. They stand up for what they like and is not afraid to say it or loud. But their feelings towards one another is another thing. I admire people who are brave enough to fall in a short amount of time.

Overall I'd still give this a 3 out of 5 star merely because I was still able to finish it without cursing the author or feeling that it was such a waste of my time.

Blackstone is the first book on the Four Fathers series and also the first book of JD Hollyfield that I read that she wrote on her own. I've only read the 2 Lovers trilogy and enjoyed it. This isn't any different.

The story is a bit cliche and predictable for me. But i would blame it on all the other novels I've read in the past. Regardless, I was still able to enjoy the story in its entirety. I liked that their story somewhat hit the rocks instead of just a smooth sailing where they were able to cross the raging river without so much as a bruise. If you know what I mean. I like my story with a little heart break in the side.

Even though it was a May-December love affair, I didn't quite feel their age gap. I like Lucy's personality-- straightforward and even though she seem at a loss with her life, she still grab and makes most of what life hands her. Trevor, whose name is so sexy, is not so much of a male alpha to me. Although he is a bit domineering, he seem a little insecure because of his "special gift". But I like how he takes care of what is his and how forgiving he could be.

Overall, I'll give this book 4 stars. I did enjoy the story but I think it could still be better.
