I found the plot intriguing and once I started reading it I found that I liked the characters and the setting of the story. Poor Olivia gets cheated on by her fiancé and uproots herself and moves away to another state to start over. I really liked […]

My thoughts… Omigosh! I loved, loved, loved this book. It is amazing! The plot was phenomenal. The characters were rich with emotions. Once I got started I couldn’t out it down.

My thoughts… Wow! I finished this book up yesterday and had to process my thoughts about it over night. Honestly I can’t really talk about the plot much because I’m afraid anything I tell you about it will give something away. I can say that the plot is what I would consider unique. I’ve not read a book like this one before and I love stories like that. Those that are not overdone. Those that […]

My thoughts… Sadly I had to DNF this book. The plot for this story was really intriguing and I was really excited to start reading it. Not long after I started reading things started to go downhill though. I feel like the relationship between Ashlyn and “Logan” progressed too quickly. Ashlyn put herself at risk with him time and time again. Here we have a young man who has lost his memory, who is accused […]

The plot was intriguing and I couldn’t wait to get started. I was hooked right from the beginning and here’s why. This story offers a lot of elements. Within the pages is an intricate web of lies and deceit. I found myself trying to figure […]

My thoughts… This book contains one of the most hottest if not the hottest prologue’s ever. I literally had to fan myself. The butterfly’s in my tummy were going crazy. Both Delilah and Nathan are broken. Really broken. The attraction between them was really strong from the beginning. The first half of this book I really liked, but after a while the incessant cussing and almost “rape” type sex was meh. It got old. It […]

My review: I absolutely loved this story. It’s a beautiful love story about a 23 year old man who lost his immediate family at a young age and a woman who left her hometown after her father was killed. From the very beginning I was captivated by this book. It captured and held my attention until the very end. I loved both Archer and Bree. I thought they made a beautiful couple and I enjoyed […]

        Sometimes authors CANNOT RESIST picking up a copy of their own book at their local bookstore. Yep. They wrote the darn book but they want to experience it again with fresh eyes, and pretend they are reading it for the first time. This psychological phenomenon leads these same authors to want to review their own books as well. The following is what happens when they do: In Which Victoria Scott Reviews […]

REVIEW: His Secrets by Lisa Renee Jones

February 24, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This is a very short read. A lot shorter then I thought it would be. I sort of feel like it was a filler novella. Nothing really stands out about it to me. It was more of the same storyline as the last book. Centered around Chris and his secrets. The title is fitting I think. I sort of feel this novella was unnecessary to the overall storyline. Behind Closed Doors (Inside Out, […]

If you’ ve read book one Vince or Vinny as he’ s also know as is a young 12 / 13 year old. In this book he’ s all grown up. Let me tell you… I didn’ t need to be concerned at […]

My thoughts… I loved this one. Author Carey Heywood takes the reader on a journey around the world. The characters which are rich with emotions go to places like London, Beijing, Australia, and many others. It was fun learning about the different places they visited and experiencing it through the eyes of these characters. Speaking of characters… I really liked Aubrey and Adam. When you first meet Aubrey she is heartbroken. Her aunt is dying […]

At the theater, we bought popcorn, Milk Duds, and large sodas. After we settled in our seats in the crowded room, I opened the box of chocolate caramel confections and dumped them in the large tub. “Um,” Quinn said, scratching his chin. “Sweet and salty—it’ s a must-have for movie watching.” “Seriously?” “Yes, seriously.” I picked up a Milk Dud, flanked it with two pieces of popcorn, and then brought it to his lips. “Here.

My thoughts… I think this one is by far my favorite out of all the books and novellas so far. This novella takes the reader on a journey. You’ll get to experience Ellie’s take on her and Adams relationship from the time she first met him at a young 14 years old. I love the way this novella is written. It captured my attention on page one and held it until the very end. It’s […]

My thoughts… I loved this book! Ms Shalvis has written another great story that fits nicely into the Lucky Harbor series. In case you didn’ t know, the Lucky Harbor series is one of my favorite contemporary romance series. Each book not only features a hot alpha hero, but beautiful heroines to boot. Most of which are sassy in their own way. To say I love this series is an understatement. You can always count […]

          I have reddish-brown hair and the palest skin that blushes fiercely, all the way from my chest to my forehead. Eden is our main chick and she shares her name with a couple of other things besides the title in this tale of time travel and romance.  I found her to be a sensible and likable character; a fair skinned beauty who makes the same mistake most  high school girls […]
