REVIEW: Whisper to Me by Christina Lee

REVIEW: Whisper to Me by Christina Lee

May 21, 2014 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… The third book in the Between Breaths series, Whisper to Me, was an highly enjoyable read. I loved it! I think it fits in nicely with the first two books in this series. A series that is one of my favorites! These characters were rich with emotions. I fell in love with the hero right away. There was just something about Kai that made me swoon. And Rachel. She has been a secondary […]

REVIEW: Red at Night by Katie McGarry

REVIEW: Red at Night by Katie McGarry

May 15, 2014 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… What a great novella. It’s a beautifully written short story about two high school seniors who come from different backgrounds. Way different. I found both Jonah and Stella interesting and I enjoyed slipping into their world. Even though they’ve been aware of each other for years, they’ve never been friends. That all changes in the most unlikely place. Once I started reading I couldn’t put this one down. It had me experiencing all […]

If you’re looking for something that will seriously make you LAUGH OUT LOUD, this book is for you! I really enjoyed this book. I haven’t laughed this hard since I read the Chocolate Lovers series by Tara Sivec! It had me laughing within the first few pages… Paige Crawford has graduated college and booked a one way ticket to London. Within her first day there she makes friends and already has been invited out that […]

RELEASE DAY & REVIEW: Inked Armor by Helena Hunting

RELEASE DAY & REVIEW: Inked Armor by Helena Hunting

May 13, 2014 2 Comments Christy

My thoughts… First let me just say *squee* Yay for more Hayden & Tenley!!! 🙂 So this is the second book in this series. Inked Armor picks up right where Clipped Wings left off. Thank goodness for that because the cliffhanger was a doozy. I think this book is as good as the first one. Sometimes with sequels I feel they don’t live up to the first book. I’m happy to say Inked Armor did. […]

Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins

Think. Pink. And Paladins. This book filled my head with all kinds of glittery, pastel, satin-y, sequined images punctuated with spiked heels and daggers. Not just because of the ballerina-pink cover but because of the bouncy, bubble gum like dialogue and scenes. Rachel Hawkins says she pitched this book to her agent as Legally Blonde meets Terminator but I would  pitch it as Legally Blonde meets 1992’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Harper Price is a smart […]

REVIEW: Between the Cracks by Helena Hunting

REVIEW: Between the Cracks by Helena Hunting

May 9, 2014 6 Comments Christy

My thoughts… At only fifty pages this is a really quick read. While it’s enjoyable, I don’t think it’s a necessary read. This one felt more like a filler. It’s written from Chris’s POV and covers Hayden’s trip to Tenley’s hometown. It also includes a scene that takes the relationship between Chris and Sarah to the next level. They have sex and I don’t think the sexual scene was up to par with the scenes […]

REVIEW: Changing Course by Aly Martinez

May 2, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I really liked this book. The storyline is unique and I was sucked in from the very first page. This is a debut novel so I really didn’t know what to expect. The reviews were good so I decided to give it a chance. I’m happy to say that I’m glad I did. I fell in love with the characters right away. Changing Course starts off with Brett & Sarah’s story. You’ll learn […]

April 30, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… So this is the first book I’ve read by this author. I loved the synopsis and couldn’t wait to read it. I was so excited that I kept checking Amazon to see if perhaps it went live early. No such luck. 🙁 Once it was live though I dove right in. This book literally sucked me in from the very first page. Since my dad suffered a stroke on March 1st my reading […]

April 28, 2014 4 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This is going to be a short review. I really liked this book. It’s the first book by this author that I’ve read and I wasn’t real sure what to expect. I’d read a few reviews and one of the things that piqued my interest was that reviewers and readers were talking about the letters that Eric wrote to Annie. With those letters in mind I dove right in. I loved the main […]

Mini Review: Kaleidoscope by Kristen Ashley

Mini Review: Kaleidoscope by Kristen Ashley

April 25, 2014 1 Comment Erin

I think it’s time to put the Colorado Mountain series to bed, because Jagged and Kaleidoscope aren’t anywhere near as good as the first four books in this series. They’re seriously lacking the suspense and the “OMGWTF is happening?” moments of the previous 4 books in this series. While I did like Kaleidoscope better than Jagged, it still pales in comparison to the rest of the series. I’m wondering if Kristen thought since Emme already […]

I was in a poetry rut. Shakespeare, Keats, Wordsworth and Wadsworth, Hesse, Byron, The Brownings: I was familiar with them all on a quotable level. I needed a new poetic fix and ended up running my index finger along the spines of paperback books in the poetry section at a Barnes and Noble store in Austin, Texas. Edna St. Vincent Millay. It was that name that made me pause. There was just something about it. […]

REVIEW: Reasonable Doubt by Whitney Gracia Williams

April 22, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Oh man…Wow… This novella – not sure it’s actually novella since it’s 63 pages, but anyway. This novella is Part One in the Reasonable Doubt series and It. Is. HOT! Seriously. I’m not gonna lie. I was blushing. Normally I like to wait until a series is complete before reading it, but after reading the reviews I knew I had to read it immediately. Did you read the synopsis up above? No? Okay, […]

REVIEW: In the Stillness by Andrea Randall

April 21, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Hmm I’m trying to find the right words for this review. I’m going to be brutally honest here. I absolutely loathed Natalie in the beginning of this book. She was a complete bitch. She was always so negative. She acted like her kids were a burden to her. And she was very selfish. Once I got past my initial feelings for her (about 1/3 of the way in) I really enjoyed this book. […]

The Distance Between Us by Kasie West

The Distance Between Us by Kasie West

April 17, 2014 4 Comments Regina

There’s nothing like meeting the man of your dreams…. at a doll store. Caymen Meyers lives above and works in a porcelain-doll store owned by her mother, tucked away in quiet, wealthy town. In RL we all know that anyone that lives and works with creepy dolls would be possessed or psychotic, but this is fiction so Caymen is a smart, down-to-earth, functional young lady. She has an extremely dry and sarcastic sense of humor. […]

My thoughts… This story is beautifully written, highly emotional, and completely captivating. I loved it so much. The plot is unique and the story captured my attention from the very first page. I love reading stories that draw me in and don’t let go like this one did. It’s truly mesmerizing. The characters are rich with emotions and I thought both Blue & Wilson were interesting characters. I really enjoyed getting to know them. Blue […]

My thoughts… First let me start off by saying that this book came highly recommended. I had heard so many great things about it. Ms Allred is a new to me author and truthfully I wasn’t sure what to expect. I can honestly say that I truly enjoyed reading it. The Sweet Gum Tree has everything I’ve ever wanted in a romance book. A beautiful and well written love story. One that touches my heart […]

You can check out my Psych Ward file on Jennifer here. I read Bitter Sweet Love and White Hot Kiss in one fell swoop.

You can find my review of Destiny (BKoD #3) here and a short interview I did with P.T. Michelle featured on Scriptland about self-publishing here. P.T. Michelle knows how to write romance. I have a problem with guys sprouting wings in books. It’s one of the main reasons why I didn’t get into the Fallen series by Lauren Kate. But P.T. Michelle does wings right! I LOVE the male MC, Ethan, in this series, wings and […]
