Wicked Ride (Realm Enforcers #1) by Rebecca Zanetti | 3.75 out of 5
Wicked Edge (Realm Enforcers #2) by Rebecca Zanetti | 4.5 out of 5
Wicked Burn (Realm Enforcers #3) by Rebecca Zanetti | 4.25 out of 5

My absolutely favorite of December is Wicked Bite by Rebecca Zanetti. I loved Bear and Nessa. They were two amazing characters. I also really enjoyed listening to audiobooks. I love The Wedding by JG & the audio just made it that much better.

I only managed to finish 11 books in December and every single one of them was a re-read. Reading slumps are the worst.

One Fell Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles #3) by Ilona Andrews (audio) (reread) | 4.5 out of 5

Getting Read (Getting Some #3) by Emma Chase (audio) (reread) | 4.25 out of 5
Sweet Dreams (Colorado Mountains #2) by Kristen Ashley (reread) | 4.25 out of 5
Own the Wind (Chaos #1) by Kristen Ashley (reread) | 4.25 out of 5

I’m not going to list a favorite or least favorite this month since they were all re-reads. I wanted to like the Mands novel, but the writing was very frustrating.

I read 22 books in December. My absolute favorite was FLOAT PLAN by Trish Doller, about a woman grieving the suicide of her fiancé and trying to sail the Caribbean in a sailboat he had refurbished. It was s good it made my list of Favorite Books of 2021. I didn’t read a book in December that I disliked or had to DNF, which was nice.
I read Float Plan some time ago and enjoyed it, too.
Thanks again for your recommendation of the Cate C. Wells book below, @DDD.
December favorites included The Best Gift by Eli Easton, The Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate by Cate C. Wells, and A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske.
I’ve no least favorite to mention as I abandoned books that didn’t speak to me.
My favorite for the month was After Dark With the Duke by Julie Anne Long. I didn’t have a least favorite.
I mostly read holiday anthologies and there were a couple stories that were a waste of time. I also read After Dark With the Duke – Julie Anne Long’s latest and I loved it.
worst book: Perception by Lee Strauss
Tom Clancy Enemy Contact by Mike Maden was interesting
