Emoji Review by Rebecca Dixon
I read ‘Covet Me’ by Kel Carpenter and Aurelia Jane… and what a GREAT 🤩 Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy Why Choose! (FYI, I’m not affiliated with the author and there are NO spoilers! 🙌🏻)
Ok, so first things first 👆🏻! This book is actually a part of the Immortal Vices and Virtues world 👏🏻 (it’s the FIRST 1️⃣ book of the second season in that world.) But ✋🏻! You DO NOT have to read the first season before reading this- it’s pretty much a standalone, all on its own 🙌🏻. Although there are some cameos from characters from Season 1 & you WILL probably want to go read the first season after reading this 😁… you don’t HAVE to!
That being said – this was a super GREAT 🤩, streamlined, fast-paced 🏃🏻♀️ Why Choose with a SASSY 💋 FMC that cracked me up 😅! She has a STRONG 💪🏻 spine and a sense of humor 😜, two things I LOVE ❤️ about a great leading lady! And the guys 🥵! Yessss 👏🏻👏🏻. As soon as I realized that she was a MAFIA 🔫 PRINCESS 👸 that is a PHEONIX 🔥 shifter and has a harem of FATED 💍 mates who want NOTHING more than to win 🏆 her over (GROVELING included, folks 🙌🏻!) … I was immediately sucked in! I’m allllll about putting in a little hard work & effort 💪🏻 , and these guys definitely try to pay their dues to win her over! I just LOVE ❤️ it when a FMC makes the fellas work for it! YKWIM? 👏🏻
But what I really LOVED 😍 about this book… are some of the KICKBUTT 🤺moments where our girl showed EVERYONE what she was truly made of 🙌🏻! The plotline is a pretty COOL 😎 concept… trials are involved, but they are NOT BRIDE 👰 trails (Thank goodness, cause although that plotline makes for FAB books, there are just so many out there!) Honestly ✌🏻, this was a FRESH 💨 take on trials 🎯 with a FMC and her harem of men and at times, it definitely reminded me of the movie The King’s Man (you know… the one starring the actor who played THE BEST MR. DARCY EVER 🙌🏻… that is FACT👆🏻, y’all DO NOT argue with me on that one!) Speaking of head nods from the authors, this book is LOADED with Disney references (if ye had the chance to change your fate, would ya 🎯😁) & you can tell the authors must be MEGA fans too!
Oh 😮! So what is the book about 🤗! Yeesh, I got a little 🤏 carried away with some of the details there 😆! Okay! So here goes- (without spoilers!) Alrighty, so the book starts off with a FMC MAFIA 🔫PRINCESS👸 (really, I can’t say that enough 😆!) who is being FORCED to MARRY 💍 the sole winner 🥇 of a trial- for a crown of sorts- and our girl is FULL ON BRAVE 🎯 with how she handles that little conundrum. Cause um, I mentioned she had a spine right 🙌🏻? So, she’s not gonna just agree to some dude marrying her if he wins a trial!! Enter ➡️ her fated mates, one of which REJECTED her before the story started 😭, and DRAMA 🎭 kicks off in full swing 😁! Throw in some MURDER 🔪 MYSTERY 🔎, a Queen of MERFOLK 🧜♀️ (yes! Mermaids and Sirens, oh my!), and some Titan like creatures (maybe?… TBH I’m not sure, but I’m just rolling with it! 😅)… and this definitely has some UF 🤺vibes! Oh! And then throw in the some STEAM 🥵 of a Why Choose – not too overpowering, mind you- with a little bit of a heat 🍑 💦 cycle, and this is DEFINITELY a Paranormal Romance 🍆 🍑 🔥 too!
So if you LOVE ❤️ a good streamlined PNR/UF combo with a SASSY 💋 , FUNNY 😅 FMC, some HOT 🥵 guys that GROVEL 🙏🏻 & put in some real effort, cool creatures 🧜♀️ and trials that show everyone what our girl is really made of 💪🏻, and some funny as heck jokes (OMG 😅 the jokes around stone, I was LITERALLY laughing out loud 😂🤣😂!)… give this a shot! It’s FREE on KU and you never know, you may COVET it too!
