The Wild One (Roswell High #2) by Melinda Metz

August 5, 2013 3 Comments Regina

I really enjoyed The Wild One, book two in the Roswell High series. It basically picks up right where The Outsider left off, and we are introduced to a new character named Nickolas. Now, if you have watched the Roswell show and read the books before, you know that the Nickolas in Melinda’s book is very different from the one in the show. Just as our three alien-hybrids, Max, Michael, and Isabel, are getting comfortable […]

Gravity (The Taking #1) by Melissa West + GIVEAWAY!

August 2, 2013 1 Comment Regina

I was sucked in by the Gravitational pull of this awesome book cover. Humans are no longer alone in the universe. Aliens, known as the Ancients, helped Earth recover from near extinction decades ago, and the Ancients only needed one thing in return: To use humans as their own personal batteries. Humans are each assigned their own Ancient, and are visited every night by these beings. The Ancients absorb vital nutrients without compromising their human’s […]

Review: Frigid by J. Lynn

August 1, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… What a great contemporary story. I really liked this one. It goes something like this… Kyler and Sydney have been friends since childhood. Both of them are in love with each other, but neither has a clue that the other feels the same way. I loved Sydney from the beginning. Even though she’s deeply in love with Kyler, she keeps her feelings to herself because she knows he’s a player and doesn’t want […]

The Outsider (Roswell High #1) by Melinda Metz

August 1, 2013 4 Comments Regina

I have tried to keep this first post mostly spoiler free, but I can’t promise the same for the rest of the reviews in this series. I remember watching the Pilot of Roswell on television as if it were yesterday. The chemistry between the cast, and the way they played their characters felt true. I discovered the books after the show shot an arrow through my heart like cupid. I was a little nervous to […]

Introductions (The Academy #1) by C.L.Stone

July 30, 2013 2 Comments Regina

This sexy book was recommended to me by the wonderful Meredith of Meredith’s Musings. Why did I call this book sexy, you ask? Is it because of the cover? NO. It’s because SEVEN good-looking, sensitive yet masculine males are bound between the covers of this novel. Oh, and there are two handsome male teachers to boot. Please do not judge this book by the picture on the front! I know, I know. It looks like […]

July 26, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Promise Me This is a sweet new adult contemporary romance. I really enjoyed this one. The characters are rich with emotions and I loved getting to know them. I really liked Charlie.

Review: Out of Breath by Rebecca Donovan

July 24, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Out of Breath is the conclusion to the Breathing Series and boy what a series this has been. I absolutely loved it. I’m sort of sad that I’ve reached the end, but I can honestly say that I am very happy with the way things turned out. Ms Donovan is a new to me author. I have read so many reviews and tweets about this series that I knew I had to give […]

Review: Barely Breathing by Rebecca Donovan

July 23, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This is book two in the Breathing Series. I really enjoyed it. It was a really quick read for me and I’m loving this series. This book mainly focuses on the relationship between Emma and her mother Rachel. Emma wants to try and see if they can salvage their torn relationship before she heads off to college after she graduates. Right from the beginning I couldn’t understand why Rachel wanted Emma to call […]

ARC Review: All Our Pretty Songs

July 23, 2013 1 Comment Regina

“Until now, I’ve never loved anyone except Aurora. It’s more than his music, more than even the smell of his skin. More than the way his body is like a magnet calling all the iron in my blood. He’s a drug that’s hooked me on the very first trip. “ Do you remember the hard, black, book sized journals you had to keep in high-school if you were in photography or […]

July 22, 2013 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… This is the first book by Author Rebecca Donovan that I’ve gotten the privilege to read. I’ve read many reviews and tweets about this series, so I decided to take a chance on it.

Saturday Night Shrine: Pepe Toth as Daemon Black

July 20, 2013 4 Comments Regina

Pepe Toth is OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD. When I was a little girl, the only alien I knew about or had a crush on was Alf. That furry little extraterrestrial stole my heart, and I still have my stuffed Alf doll. Now that I’m all grown up, I want my aliens to be hot and heroic. Alf still might be more height appropriate for me (*shrugs* I’m short), but I never want to imagine an alien as fuzzy […]

Review: Crave by Monica Murphy

July 20, 2013 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… Amazing. I loved this story. Even though it’s a short read things didn’t seem to be rushed. The story flowed smoothly and kept my attention from beginning until the very end. I was able to read it in one sitting. Both Ivy & Archer have known each other for a long time. He’s always been attracted to his best friend little sister, but has never crossed the line where she is concerned. To […]

My thoughts… I’m so excited to share my thoughts about this book with you. *squee* I loved this one. Hard. For reals. Sam’s a single mom. She became pregnant after having a one-night stand. Said one-night stand didn’t want anything to do with her or the baby. He went as far to say that he didn’t want to be named on the birth certificate. What an asshat. You’ll find out who said asshat is within […]
