This absolutely gorgeous pre-fall 2009 Valentino black sheer illusion lace strapless gown is a breathtaking early design from the newly appointed co–creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli. Though the duo had worked behind the scenes at Valentino for over a decade, this transitional era marked one of the first collections at the helm — and they approached it with a fresh romantic vision. This gown was featured prominently in their pre-fall catalogue, a collection especially marketed in the Chinese and East Asian markets. It clearly resonated — Taiwanese pop star and former news anchor Patty Hou wore it to the 20th Golden Melody Awards, and it was actress Charmaine Sheh's choice for Hong Kong’s 2009 TVB Awards Ceremony.

This Valentino is all about sensual illusion and masterful texture. The strapless fully-boned bustier bodice is fashioned in finely pleated black silk, its edges lightly touches the delicate lace that peeks out along the top like soft eyelash trim. From there, the dress melts into a mesmerizing nude-illusion foundation enveloped in black floral lace, heavily embellished with sequins and dangling black beads that shimmer and sway with every move. The lace is ruched gently across the torso, creating that body-skimming hourglass Valentino silhouette. And then comes the drama: an oversized, architectural bow that wraps around the bust and transforms into a long sash that drapes the length of the gown to the floor. It’s beautifully constructed, sculptural, and very much a signature of Chiuri and Piccioli’s early work. The hemline finishes with elegantly scalloped lace, adding just a kiss of softness as it pools behind you. This is the kind of gown that belongs at life’s most luminous events — an important red carpet, galas, black-tie weddings; anywhere you want a moment that photographs like a dream. Collectors of modern Valentino know how special the early designs are, and wearing these dresses feels like stepping directly into the brand’s evolving history — commanding, feminine, and unforgettable.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.
