Review: Come to Me Quietly by A.L. Jackson

Review: Come to Me Quietly by A.L. Jackson

February 3, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… A fellow blogger tweeted about how she loved this book so I decided to give it a try. A.L. Jackson is a new to me author so I wasn’ t really sure what to expect when I started reading it. When I read the synopsis I thought it had the potential to be a great read. I can honestly say that I’ m glad I gave this book a chance. I really enjoyed […]

BLOG TOUR and REVIEW: A Sip of You by Sorcha Grace

BLOG TOUR and REVIEW: A Sip of You by Sorcha Grace

January 31, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… A Sip of You is the second book in Sorcha Grace’ s the Epicurean series. While I liked this one the heroine grated on my nerves at times. She would make up her mind to do certain things or act a certain way only to see the hero again and do the exact opposite. After a while it got old. William acted much better in this book. In the first book I didn’ […]

Review: Liar, Liar Hearts on Fire by Jennifer Zane

Review: Liar, Liar Hearts on Fire by Jennifer Zane

  When I started reading this book and saw that the mc, Violet, lives in Bozeman, Montana, I instantly thought of the episode of The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon relocates to Bozeman after having their apartment broken in to. I wondered if maybe the author saw this episode and decided to use it as her backdrop for her gnome series?     This book has all kinds of things going on in it. From […]

Drop of Doubt (The Academy #5) by C.L.Stone

Drop of Doubt (The Academy #5) by C.L.Stone

January 30, 2014 4 Comments Regina

Hair washing; it’s the new sex. There’s a shift in tone to Drop of Doubt. The first hundred pages had me nostalgic for the prior four books in this series, but nostalgia was quickly replaced with a strong desire to consume this installment down to the last drop. No doubt about it. Sang really comes into herself in this novel and acknowledges that she is more than her mother’s daughter. Sang is becoming a pro […]

REVIEW: Slow Seduction by Cecilia Tan

REVIEW: Slow Seduction by Cecilia Tan

January 30, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This book picks up where book one left off with Karina in London. As she searches for James she discovers a secret society that caters to the sensual thrills of the wealthy and powerful. (see synopsis) Here she meets Damon George. I’ m just going to come out and say it right off the bat. I REALLY liked Damon. He’ s wealthy, good looking, and he goes after what he wants. And what […]

My thoughts… I have been waiting, and waiting to read this book. When I noticed it on Netgalley and read the synopsis I knew I HAD to read it. I was happy that I got approved to read and review it. The is the first story by author Elizabeth Scott that I’ve read. This story captured my attention from beginning and held it until the very end. I didn’t skim through pages at all. I […]

REVIEW: Believe by Erin McCarthy

REVIEW: Believe by Erin McCarthy

January 27, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Believe is book three in the True Believers series by Author Erin McCarthy. I enjoyed this one. There were a few things about it that were unrealistic to me, but for the most part I loved it. The hero: Phoenix. The poor guy has had it rough in life. The Mann brothers are his cousins. He just got out of jail after doing a 6 months. New to this series, Phoenix, is a […]

Review: Be With Me by J. Lynn (@JLArmentrout)

January 24, 2014 1 Comment Erin

I have yet to read a book written by Jennifer L. Armentrout that I haven’t loved. Be With Me is no exception. This book is about Teresa Hamilton, who we met in Wait For You. At the start of the book she’s starting her freshman year while she’s recovering from an torn ACL. She’s working on Plan B, while she waits for her body to heal so she can go back to her dancing. For […]

My thoughts… I loved True which was the first book in this series so I was really excited to read this one. What can I say? I love the Mann brothers. This book was a really fast read for me. It sucked me in and didn’ t let go until the very end. I loved the characters and the storyline. I enjoyed watching Riley and Jessica’ s relationship grow from the beginning. I did get […]

Release Day, Giveaway & Review: Loving Cara by Kristen Proby

January 21, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Loving Cara is the first book in Kristen Proby’ s new series “Love Under the Big Sky.” I’ m going to be honest. I really wasn’ t quite sure what to expect with this one. I read the synopsis, but I didn’ t know if this book would be comparable to her “With Me in Seattle” series which I love. This series was picked up by a publisher whereas her other books are […]

Release Day & Review: Savor by Monica Murphy

Release Day & Review: Savor by Monica Murphy

January 21, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Savor is the third novella in Billionaire Bachelors Club series. As with the first two I enjoyed this one. I don’t think it was quite the story book one was, but it was enjoyable. I liked Matt’s character in both books one and two and I’ve been really excited about reading his book.  I found him to be an interesting guy. It’s not everyday an ex pro-ball player buys a Winery with absolutely […]

Blog Tour, Review & Giveaway: Tell Me When by Stina Lindenblatt

January 20, 2014 4 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This book was really good. It’ s the debut novel by Author Stina Lindenblatt. After reading the synopsis I decided to give it a try. It sounded interesting and I couldn’ t wait to get started. I love the characters in this book. Both Marcus and Amber are broken. They have both been through a lot in their short years. They’ ve not only suffered abuse, but loss as well. The Hero: Marcus […]

My thoughts… The St. Helena Vineyard series is one of my favorites series. I’ ve read all of the books in this series and love them all. I love the characters, the setting, and the overall feel of these stories. I love slipping into their world and spending time with them. One of the things I love most of this series though is that it’ s funny. The dialogue cracks me up every time I […]

January 15, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Rome is book three in the Marked Men series. I’ve been waiting for this one to become available. I love military heroes. There is just something about them that draws me in. This story had me laughing and crying. Yes, Ms Crownover brought me to tears a couple of times. Both Rome and Cora are secondary characters from previous books and I was happy they got their own book. Rome. He’s a sexy […]

My thoughts… Oh how I love Drew & Fable! I can’ t seem to get enough of them. I love slipping into their world and getting lost. They are without a doubt one of my favorite book couples. Even though this novella is short there is a lot happening within it. There’ s the wedding and the… Sorry I can’ t say anymore since I don’ t want to give anything away. :/ I will […]

The Liberator by Victoria Scott: Review+Giveaway!!!

January 13, 2014 8 Comments Regina

Dante Walker. Soul Collector turned Soul Protector. When does the video game come out!? I’ve always been a sucker for the bad boys. When Dante Walker abdicated his Collector Cuff to save Charlie Cooper’s life at the end of The Collector, a little part of my demon-loving heart died. In The Liberator, Dante’s swingin’ for the other team. Big Guy’s team (a.k.a. Lord of the Heavens), and he’s officially turned his back on Lucille (a.k.a […]

“He is yet a stranger to me, and then somehow I feel as though I have known him for many years now, as though he may be the one I imagined would come and whisk me away…” Pg. 13 I think this book was marketed incorrectly. I bet most of the people that went into this book saw it on an Epic Reads ARC party and fell in love with it because of the cover […]

Review: Night Owl by M. Pierce

January 10, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Where to begin with this review. While I liked this book for the most part there were a few things that I thought were unrealistic. It also has a “hard limit” element to it as well. Cheating is a “hard limit” for me. I don’ t like it. I don’ t think it’ s necessary to make a story good. It’ s just not a situation I want the characters I read about […]

Review: The Proposition Vol. 2 by H.M. Ward

January 6, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… So this is novella two in the new Proposition series by H.M. Ward. I’ m not quite sure how I feel about this series. The first novella was interesting and held my attention until the very end, but this one I found myself sort of skimming. There just didn’ t seem to be much going on with the characters. There was a little bit of a suspense element added to this one towards […]

My thoughts… What the hell did I just read? I don’t get it. Seriously. I finished this book last night and I’m still trying to figure it all out. I read the synopsis before I signed up for an ARC. The plot seemed interesting to me, but when I started reading it things just went downhill. I think I get where the author was going with this story, but from the description I was under […]

Review: Three Broken Promises by Monica Murphy

Review: Three Broken Promises by Monica Murphy

December 31, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I have mixed feelings about this one. I liked it, but there seemed to be a lot of going back and forth between both Colin and Jen. Sort of a “I want you now” but “I won’t let myself have you” kind of thing. After a while I found myself skimming a bit. I wouldn’t say I got bored because I didn’t. I just wished they would have acted upon their attraction sooner. […]
