Review: Making Faces by Amy Harmon

Review: Making Faces by Amy Harmon

December 30, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… What a great book. An author I love and a fellow book blogger/reviewer were talking about this book on twitter. They highly recommended it and I decided I would give it a try. The author is new to me so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The plot was quite intriguing and I couldn’t wait to get started. Making Faces focuses on three main characters. I guess I could say there is a […]

My thoughts… ~ Breathtakingly beautiful. Heartbreaking. Amazingly brilliant. I couldn’ t put it down. Wow! What an emotional read. I cried many times while reading this book, guys. No joking. A lot. I’ m going to be honest. I didn’ t really know much about this book when I asked to review it. Ms Wilder didn’ t give a whole lot away regarding it, but since I’ m a big fan of her work I […]

Review: Needing Her by Molly McAdams

Review: Needing Her by Molly McAdams

December 23, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Needing Her is a short novella. I liked it. It wasn’t fantabulous, but it was enjoyable. I found the plot to be interesting and I couldn’t wait to get started reading this one. Even though this is a short read, it did take me a bit to get through it. My thoughts on the characters: Maci. I liked her. I felt bad for her considering how her brothers threatened to take down any […]

12 Days of Reviews and Giveaways: The Emily Chambers Spirit Medium Trilogy by C.J. Archer

December 22, 2013 3 Comments Regina

Today, I’d like to highlight another one of my favorite C.J. Archer trilogies. The Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy was how I first met C.J. Archer’s writing, and I’ve developed quite a love affair with it since. C.J’s tales of Victorian Era England never fail to sweep me away in grand fashion. If you are planning to read C.J.’s Freak House trilogy, then reading her Medium trilogy before hand will make Freak House that much […]

 You can check out my reviews to the first two books in this series here, and here.   Jack Langley is going to BURN. IT. UP. I’ve been carrying a torch for Jack Langley, and he set my heart ablaze in this last book of the 1st Freak House trilogy. The race to find a cure for Hannah has emotions and tempers running high. The situation is dire. Tempers aren’t the only thing heating up. […]

Erin’s Review:   Hello Ladies! There’s a new alien in town and he’s here to collect all of our hearts!     Yes, Yes it is. His name is Trey Allairis and it didn’t take long for him to have me swooning all over the place! While he’s not actually referred to as an Alien, He does mention being from another world and to get to said world they have to travel through a worm hole. […]

My thoughts… Omigosh! I loved this book so much!!! This is a fantastic series. One of my favorite young adult series. Crash Into You didn’ t disappoint. The storyline was intriguing. The characters and the situation they were faced were realistic. I just loved this story overall. The hero is Isaiah. He has been a secondary character in the first two books. I was so excited to get my hands on this one because I […]

December 17, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Fighting Redemption is a highly emotional read. There were several time’ s I cried while reading it. :/ Another blogger wrote a review on this book and highly suggested it. I decided I would give it a try. This is a new to me author so I wasn’ t familiar with her work. The writing style is a bit different since the author is Australian, but that didn’ t take away from the […]

ARC Review: Echoes in the Glass by Cheri Lasota + Giveaway!

December 17, 2013 0 Comments Erin

  The cover art of this book is what drew my attention. When I saw it I knew I had to read it.  The lighthouse called out to me. I’ve never read a book based around a lighthouse, so I had to give this book a shot. What’s really great about this story is that there is TWO stories being told. It’s half historical, half contemporary with a bit of mystery.  I couldn’t put my […]

This isn’t the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure. This is the Brimstone Bleed.   I want to start a garage band just so I can name it after this book. I”m still debating on whether to name my new baby kitty Pandora, Tella, or Guy. I want a shirt that says, ” I skied the Brimstone Bleed. When Hell freezes over, I’ll ski that too!” There is just so much YES in this […]

December 14, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Ah I’ ve been waiting for this book for a while. I loved April Showers! It ended on a pretty big cliffhanger so I was happy that this story immediately picked up where it left off. If you’ ve read April Showers you will be happy to know what happens to Lukas. I know that was the first thing I needed to know. While I enjoyed this one I don’ t think it […]

  Ladies, you will Surrender your heart (as well as your skivvies) to Alexander Redcliff. A tall, broad shouldered and strikingly handsome gentleman filled the doorway. Striking in that his good looks hit her in the chest and stole her breath. Dark hair curling at the ends framed a strong, lean face. A wide mouth was saved from being overly generous by the sculptured, defined lips. The square jaw could have been hewn from marble […]

Check out Michelangelo’s beautiful work and other sources on the Italian icon HERE! “Caterina, a great adventure is in store for you.”     Cat Crawford comes from your typical Hollywood family: broken with baggage. Her father is a Hollywood executive, and her mother is an actress with a scandalous existence that guarantees she gets lip-service on every tabloid in the country.

December 10, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Elect is book two in Rachel Van Dyken’ s Eagle Elite series. I’ ve been trying to be patient while waiting for this one. The first book ended on such a big cliffhanger and I was left saying no, No, NO!!!! Having said that I found myself confused while reading this one a few times. I almost felt like I missed something while reading parts of it. There are quite a few twists […]

My thoughts… Omigosh you guys! I loved this novella!! I’m a big fan of Tiffany King so naturally I had to read this one and I’m so glad I did. The synopsis drew me in and I couldn’t wait to get started. Since this is a novella it’s a short read. I was able to get through it in one sitting. I loved both Jamie & Grant. Although Grant seemed to tease Jamie a lot, […]

Mini Book Review – Jagged by Kristen Ashley

December 6, 2013 0 Comments Erin

I am a HUGE fan of Kristen Ashley and when I saw this up for grabs on Netgalley I was all over it. I read this book almost 2 months ago and I don’t even remember what happened in this book. Most Kristen Ashley books have a way of grabbing hold of my brain and staying there, this one did not. I couldn’t connect with the characters at all. Unlike other Kristen Ashley books, this […]

Review: Castle Hill

Review: Castle Hill

December 6, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I loved this novella!!! Castle Hill is about Joss & Braden’ s wedding, honeymoon, and covers Joss getting pregnant. There were times while I was reading this one that I wanted to slap Braden upside the head for the way he was acting and treating Jocelyn, but in the end he started behaving. 😉 The sexual scenes were hot as per usual in this series. They were well written and plentiful considering the […]
