Book Review: Meet Me At the Anvil by Kate Prior

This was fun and different from a lot of the historical romances I’ve read. Like Prior’s other books, this is a bit ridiculous. I mean that in a nice easy-not as a judgment. 

I wish we could have had some of Liam’s thoughts-not an unusual complaint for me. This is in 3rd person, but limited to Diane’s POV. 

I’m a bit confused about how certain things happened, but I’m going to just throw myself into it. It also has a bit of insta-love vibes. That’s why it’s three stars, not four.

Kate Prior is a great and engaging writer. I will continue to read books from her as she publishes them.

Thanks for reading!

Book Review: The Orc from the Office by Kate Prior

These books have no business being this good. Kate Prior is a great writer who knows how to pace a novella. I can’t wait for her to write more books. 

This had a different tone than the first book. It still had moments of humor, but it was also more sweet. I literally “ahh”ed and clutched my heart several times. Khent is currently my favorite guy in a romance. He’s so sweet and caring. I think I’m a sucker for a gentle giant. 

Janice and Khent are forced together due to a series of ridiculous actions. It’s a forced mating and the pheromones are hard to resist. So there’s lots of tension and sexytimes, but it’s the emotional connection that really got me.

These covers and the concepts are over-the-top, but they are expertly executed. And just like the first book, Prior weaves in satire perfectly. 

I think I’m going to try her full-length book because it’s the only thing left.

Thanks for reading!

Book Review: Love, Laugh, Lich by Kate Prior

I picked this up because Ruby Dixon talked about the 2nd one. So, I had to check the series out. 

This is ridiculous, but incredibly self-aware. It borders on parody of corporate culture. I love a good parody or satire. There was a take over and now an evil Lord controls everything. Lily works for the Lord Lich and is just on board for the world as it is. She also talks a lot with Janice in HR. Those are hilarious conversations.

Yes, there are sex rituals and they are pretty steamy. The Lich has some extra appendages that Lily takes full advantage of. They are also ridiculous scenes, but you just have to buy in. There’s also some sweet moments here.While a lot of this is over-the-top, it is very well written. I plan on continuing with the series but I’ll also keep an eye on Kate Prior because she has some real talent as a writer.

Thanks for reading!
