Stars in September: Still Star-Crossed by Melinda Taub

September 30, 2013 0 Comments Regina

Melinda Taub’s Still Star-Crossed is full of bloody brawls, Princess Bride style adventure, chivalrous rescues, and Bard-level story crafting. It definitely put me in the mood to re-watch Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet. The Main Players: Rosaline- Romeo’s prior infatuation Prince Escalus- Prince of Verona Benvolio- R0meo’s kinsman Livia- Rosaline’s younger sister Paris- Juliet’s intended before Romeo For the past 15 years of my life, I have DESPISED Rosaline. Ever since I saw Leonardo DiCaprio […]

Review: Out of Line by Jen McLaughlin

September 30, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Out of Line is written by a new to me author. A publicist I follow on twitter tweeted about it. It was on sale for 99¢ so I thought I’d give it a try. For the most part I liked it. I thought the main characters were interesting. Things start off a little rocky between the hero and the heroine. Finn almost seems a little stalkerish at first. I can understand why he’s […]

Review: Fixed on You by Laurelin Paige

September 29, 2013 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… It took me a little bit to get into this one, but after 50 or so pages I found that I could hardly put it down. The plot was really interesting and I enjoyed reading this story. It’s a humorous, sexy, and sometimes emotional read. I admit I teared up a couple times while reading it. I liked both the hero and heroine and most of the secondary characters. The heroine is Alayna. […]

Review: Midnight Lies by Ella Grace

September 26, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Midnight Lies is the second book in the Wildfire series. As with the first one I loved this book. This is turning out to be a great series. The plot was intriguing and I couldn’t wait to get started. Author Ella Grace is a pseudonym for Christy Reece. I’ve read all of her previous books and loved them. She writes really good romantic suspense series. I loved both Quinn & Samantha. They were […]

Book Review: Unchained by J. Lynn

September 25, 2013 4 Comments Erin

This book started out slow for me. It took a while for me to warm up to Lily, but eventually I got there. Like other female characters of JLA’s, Lily was full of some good snark and I think that is what finally got me. Lily is one kick-ass girl who hardly ever gets into a situation that she can’t get herself out of. Though, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a guardian angel looking […]

Review: Wounded by Jasinda Wilder

September 22, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… ZOMG! Loved this story. Hard. This is either the fourth or fifth book by Author Jasinda Wilder that I’ve read and it was incredible. I was drawn in by the synopsis and couldn’t wait to get started reading it. Amazing. That’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of it. I loved it so much. It held my attention from page one and didn’t let go until the very end. […]

Stars in September: Stardust by Mimi Strong

September 20, 2013 1 Comment Regina

“Faster, Lionheart, you little stud-pony, faster!” If Stardust was a woman (or a man), s/he would be fast, easy, and funny. This book showed up on Amazon’s Best Seller list, so I shrugged and thought “why not”. A few chapters in, I almost ditched it because I felt like I was losing brain cells. Then, I turned on the television and proceeded to watch Hardcore Pawn. I decided that was quite ironic, and went back […]

Review: All of You by Christina Lee

September 17, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I loved this one. The synopsis grabbed my attention and I couldn’t wait to start reading. Avery and Bennett are alike in some ways and different in others. Both have had shitty home life’s. Their mothers weren’t very good role models, but what makes them different is how they handle themselves. Where Avery has to be in control of all aspects of her life including sexual partners, Bennett doesn’t have sex. Period. He’s […]

Review: Down London Road by Samantha Young

September 15, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I really enjoyed this one. At first I was a little mad though. I did NOT like the hero at all. I found him to be extremely rude. Some of the things he said to the heroine was downright hateful at times. I couldn’t quite figure out why he had such a strong negative reaction to her. I know that later on in the book things are revealed a little bit concerning that, […]

Review: The Impact of You by Kendall Ryan

September 12, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This is the first one by author Kendall Ryan that I’ve read. For the most part I really liked it. There were a few issues I had with it though. I liked Avery. Although I found her to be a bit naive. She was sort of complex. She’s got a big secret and it takes a while to find out just exactly what it is. When all is revealed I sort of think […]

Stars in September: The Fallen Star series by Jessica Sorenson

September 11, 2013 0 Comments Regina

I discovered this series after finishing Obsidian, by Jennifer Armentrout. I was desperate to chase the first book in the Lux series with something that had romance, tension, and a Sci-Fi edge to it. Not surprisingly, Amazon came to the rescue. ” Your cart is empty, ” Amazon says. “Give it purpose,” Amazon says. So, of course, unable to ignore these desperate pleas to give my cart meaning any longer, I looked at the recommendations […]

Review: On Dublin Street by Samantha Young

September 11, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I’ve heard so much about this book. If you’re a romance reader. And obviously you are if you’re visiting my blog. Then you’ve heard about this book. I’ve owned this one for so long. Just never got around to reading it. I’m attending Penned Con 2014 in St. Louis next fall and I thought I’d try to read a least one book by each of the authors that are attending the conference. Samantha […]

Review: Revealing Us by Lisa Renee Jones

September 10, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Revealing Us was really, really good. There are a few new characters introduced in this one. A couple women I didn’t like at all for reasons I can’t really talk about because of spoiler issues. I can say that they both have a past history with Chris. There was also a guy named Tristan who I would like to know more about, but I’m not sure if that will happen. There are all […]

Review: Real Ugly by C.M. Stunich

September 6, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Where to even begin with this train wreck. I almost DNF’d this book several different times. If it hadn’t been for the actual storyline being “interesting” I probably would have sooner. Finally though I had enough and couldn’t waste anymore time on it. And that’s exactly how I feel. That I not only wasted time on this book but also my money on it. Every other word is a cuss word. I’m not […]

My Reactions to Shark Out of Water (Grab Your Pole #3) by Jenn Cooksey

September 5, 2013 1 Comment Erin

I kept track of my reactions to the book, Shark Out of Water, by Jenn Cooksey as I read. This image pretty much sums up the whole book, and if you’ve read it. You’ll totally get it. I absolutely LOVE this series. I came across Shark Bait when I was scouring through the bowels of Amazon in September of 2012 looking for something, ANYTHING interesting to read. Finally after pages and pages of books…the (original) […]

Review: Undeclared by Jen Frederick

September 4, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I really liked this one. The plot was really interesting and I couldn’t help but be sucked in from the very first page. It kept my interest throughout the entire book. I kept turning page after page to see how things would end up. At one point the author broke my heart. *sob* I just couldn’t believe it. You know when things are going along fairly well and you are waiting for the […]

Blog Tour & Review: Hated by Mercy Amare

September 3, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Hated is the final book in the Rock Star trilogy by Mercy Amare. I have to say that I’m a little sad that this series has come to an end. I’ve really enjoyed spending time with not only the main characters, but the secondary characters as well. This one starts off with Stephan and Scarlett being newlyweds. I don’t know why, but I had forgotten that Stephan and Scarlett tied the knot at […]

Review: STRIPPED by H.M. Ward

September 2, 2013 1 Comment Christy

My thoughts… OMG Wow! Where to start… I LOVED this book! For reals. I’m a fan of H.M. Wards work and knew that I HAD to read this one. I liked Jonathan in other books and wanted to hear his story. Stripped didn’t disappoint. It held my attention from the beginning until the very end and left me hungry for more. It was a really quick read for me. I loved Cassie! She has old […]

The Salvation (Roswell High #10) by Melinda Metz

August 31, 2013 0 Comments Regina

The last two books for the Roswell Read-A-Long were guest reviewed by the awesome Avery Olive, a fellow loyal Roswell Fan. You can check out Avery’ s awesome blog here. It’ s the end of a ten book long series. That’ s ten books, thousands of pages, many characters, tears and laughter and it’ s all come down to this. The End. Right away I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this series from […]

Book Review: Chaos by Christine O’Neil + Giveaway

August 31, 2013 0 Comments Erin

Maggie recently has found out that she is what they call a Semi-God..Someone who descends from a god or goddess. In Maggie’s case, it’s Aphrodite, the greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. She’s slowly coming into her powers and watch out, because if you piss her off you might end up in a coma like her Ex, Eric. Out of nowhere, the New kid, Hot & Irish, Mac Finnegan, has decided that he […]

Review: Deeper We Fall by Chelsea M. Cameron

August 30, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Warning: This review may be a bit spoilerish. I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand I liked it. But on the other hand there were a few issues I had with it. The heroine loathed the hero for half of this book. And then all of sudden it sort of turned into insta-love. I’m not really a big fan of this element. I just felt sort of confused. I […]
