To feel nothing is not a life worth living. Yes, it hurts to return to the mundane after being swept away in a beautiful fantasy, but at least for a time, that fantasy was mine.
It doesn't matter that it wasn't real, nor could ever be."
I LOVE a main character who is intelligent, I love a tale inspired by Beauty and the Beast, and love that I want Gemma as a friend after reading her story.
This was little bits of everything wonderful about fairy tales.

They threw my daughter away like we were old rags. We had no value to them outside of my husband. All the time we lived among them, all the things I’d done in service of the House, all the friendships I forged, none of it mattered. They didn’t fight to keep us. They wanted to be rid of us.”
Maud has decided to take her daughter and go to (our favorite Vampire) Arland's home planet after meeting him at her sister's Inn on earth.
I thought I would dislike the stray from earth and the magical inn, but as per usual, when it comes to Ilona and Gordon, they can handle intergalactic tales and make you fall in love repeatedy.
I love this journey to find a home for Maud and her daughter.
“I lived a lie. I can’t take that chance again. I won’t. I don’t want Arland to marry an outsider who is barely tolerated. I want him to marry someone who is valued by his House. Someone who is indispensable. I want that marriage to be seen as a boon for House Krahr. I don’t trust any of you except Arland.
I want to ensure that you will never turn on me. That my daughter will have a place here not because of your son, but because of me and eventually because of herself.”
She’d said too much. Where did it even come from? She’d had no idea that’s what she wanted until the words came out of her.

"That's our relationship right there. Irresponsible. Or stupid."
I opened this up without reading blurbs and realized that I had nose dived into a full blown series. Needless to say it took a few late nights to power through, but it was worth it. I'm going to be honest and say that the series overall would get 3.5 stars from me, but that final book is worth about seven stars.
C.M. Stunich put a lot of work into making a legitimate feeling motorcycle series, though I got admit I needed more atmospheric elements in the first books during Lyric and Royal's moment. Overall, If you like anything motorcycle or crime related, pick this up....more

Bella was such a colorful character. But the themes became too confused by the sexuality it portrayed. Instead of being sex-positive it embodied conflict and lost focus.
