The Collector (Dante Walker #1) by @VictoriaScottYA Review and Giveaway

June 19, 2013 28 Comments Regina

 The Antidote by St. Vincent Dante gets ready to this song. 🙂 Contrary to popular belief, Dante Walker is a little piece of Heaven on Earth.    Hey, guys. My name’s Regina. A while back I read this book called The Collector. One of my homegirls said I would like it, so I gave it a shot.  Dante flippin’ Walker. I really didn’t want to like this guy. I heard he gave Daemon Black from […]

Review: The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski

My thoughts… Let me tell you…5 Stars are NOT enough for this book. It is ah-freakin-mazing! For reals. When I purchased this one I wasn’t aware that there was going to be more than one book. Sometimes I’m reluctant to buy books like this because I’m such an impatient person. I need for stories to be wrapped up by the end of a book, but I realize in some cases that’s not possible. I loved […]

Book Review: Shark Bait (Grab Your Pole #1) by Jenn Cooksey + Giveaway

June 17, 2013 1 Comment Erin

I came across Shark Bait when I was scouring through the bowels of Amazon in September of 2012 thinking that I finally read everything there is to be read on Amazon when I found Shark Bait. It caught my eye and I took a gander at it and thought it sounded interesting so I bought it. I instantly got hooked and I don’t think I put my iPad down til I finished the book. Shark […]

ARC Review: Facade (The Games Series #2) by Nyrae Dawn

ARC Review: Facade (The Games Series #2) by Nyrae Dawn

June 15, 2013 0 Comments Erin

I started this book not even knowing it was a sequel. I didn’t find out until about halfway through that it was book 2 in a series and I only found out because I was looking at it on Goodreads and saw that it was apart of the Game series. So that, I think, is a good thing about this book: You can read it without having read the first book, Charade, in the series. […]

The Beautiful and the Cursed

The Beautiful and the Cursed

“You’re my human.” Can I really be attracted to a gargoyle? That was the question I asked myself while debating whether or not to read this book. The mention of gargoyles struck up cemented images in my head of hog-nosed, crumbling stone creatures ready to tumble-down from their lofty perch and end me. Then, the memory of The Gargoyles cartoon from a decade ago hit me like a ton of bricks, and I recalled how […]

Review: This Girl by Colleen Hoover

Review: This Girl by Colleen Hoover

My thoughts… What a great way to end a great series. This is such a great book. The story is told in Will’s POV. It’s a little different in the sense that the book switches back in forth between the past and present. While they’re on their honeymoon, Will is telling Lake his point of view of the things they experienced in the past. I thought this was a unique way of telling this story. […]

My thoughts… This is the second book by Author Teresa Mummert that I’ve had the pleasure to read. I really enjoyed this story. She has a great writing style and I’m addicted to reading her books. Her stories draw you in from the beginning and keep your attention until the very end. I loved both Jenn & Shane. I thought they were good for each other and good together. The attraction between the two of […]

Man, what happened to Rush? Is it me or is he like seriously WHIPPED? This book didn’t have a whole lot going on..I think it’s mostly just for Abbi to tie up Blaire & Rush’s story and then introduce some new characters that I do believe we will be seeing again in the future. 😉 First we met Harlow, Nan’s uber-conservative, sweet and innocent half-sister. Next, we meet ‘Oh Captain, My Captain.’ Although we really […]

Review: Jet by Jay Crownover

Review: Jet by Jay Crownover

June 12, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Jet is book two in the Marked Men series by Author Jay Crownover. While I enjoyed Jet & Ayden’s story, I don’t think it was quite the story Rule was. There was just something fascinating about Rule that captured my attention from the beginning. This one started out as a slow read for me, but the more I read the more enjoyable it became. Even though Jet & Ayden appear to be completely […]

My thoughts… OMG. OMG. Like If I Were You, Being Me is an amazing read! I love, love, loved this one too. This series is unbelievable and without a doubt one of my favorites. I think Ms Jones did a great job of building the story and keeping it interesting. This book is NOT a filler. There are several twists and turns. I didn’t find myself getting bored with it or skimming. It kept my […]

I’m at Target staring at the empty spot where the book I drove here for should be. It’s close to 10:00 p.m. , and I don’t have the energy to frantically look behind all of the other books on the isle like I normally would, so I do a quick sweep with my eyes for an appealing cover and land on Fated.  The girl on the pretty purple cover makes me want to run to […]

My thoughts… OMG! I could not put this book down. I was drawn in from page one and it didn’t let me go until the very end. White Trash Beautiful is so emotional. I cried several times. To me it seems that books that make you cry are typically great reads. This one didn’t disappoint. I was able to read this one in one sitting. It was that good. I loved Cass Daniels from the […]

I totally picked up the first book in this series because the glossy purple and black cover called to me. The almost alliteration of A’s in the title pleased my nerdy side, and the elegant looking woman on the cover was someone I wouldn’t mind living vicariously through. Already sold on the aesthetic appeal of the cover, I read the blurb on the back and gave a little squeal at the name Tristan (one of our main […]

My thoughts… OMG. OMG. What an amazing story! If I Were You sucked me in from page one, held me captive until the very end, and left me wanting more….so much more. This is the first novel by Author Lisa Renee Jones that I’ve had the pleasure to read and it won’t be the last. I’m hooked. If I Were You is told from Sarah’s POV. I felt like I was right there with her […]

This book was highly entertaining! It had me laughing non-stop. It also gave me some food for thought on any future break-ups, including some Steps/Rules that maybe we should all remember to follow in the future concerning possible new relationships, break ups or life in general. 😉 This was a light, funny read and I really enjoyed it. I’m glad I was given the opportunity to read and review it. 😉

My thoughts… While I really enjoyed this one it took me a long time to get to the end. It’s over 400 pages long and at times I felt myself wanting to give up on it, but when I finally did reach the end I was very happy that I stuck with it. This story is very complex and highly emotional. Nastya. She’s broken. She hides herself behind dark make-up, dark clothing, and a don’t […]

My thoughts… Ah…. I finished this one in a day. I really enjoyed! Faded is like Jaded in some aspects. It happens over a short amount of time. Things were constantly changing and I kept turning page after page as fast as I could to see what would happen next. There really isn’t any sexual scenes in this book either. It’s all pretty much PG and I keep wondering if Scarlett & Stephan are actually […]
