Review: This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp

Review: This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp

REVIEW: ~ 54 minutes. The entire story spans a timeframe of fifty four minutes. ~ Although there are other published books that deal with this topic. I think the way this story is written sets it apart from the others. It’s told in multiple points of view, and I really enjoyed learning each featured characters perspective. Learning how they were connected with each other in one way or another. Ms Nijkamp did a great job […]

REVIEW: I’ve heard so many good things about this book. I’ve not read a book by Tara Sivic before so I thought why not. While I think the plot for this book was unique, I had a few issues with the overall story. In the beginning I absolutely loathed Fisher. I hated him so much that I almost stopped reading. He was downright mean to Lucy. It’s not really revealed why he treats Lucy the […]

Release Day & Review: All the Rage by Courtney Summers

Release Day & Review: All the Rage by Courtney Summers

April 14, 2015 0 Comments Christy

All the Rage is written by a new to me author. The synopsis sounded really interesting so I thought I’d give it a try. For the most part I think the book was okay. It didn’t really blow me away. At times it was slow going. The suspense aspect was good, but I was easily able to figure that it out pretty easily. I found Romy to be quite a strange girl. I can’t really […]

My thoughts… I’ll admit I was intrigued after reading the synopsis for part one of this serial. It sounded like a interesting read and even though this is a debut serial by this author I decided to give it a try. I liked it for the most part. I had a few issues with how things happened. It was a little unrealistic at times and also it seemed a bit rushed, but considering it’s a […]

REVIEW: RED & WOLFE – PART ONE

REVIEW: RED & WOLFE – PART ONE

August 8, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I’m reading another serial as you can see. It’s a completed serial so there’s my excuse. This installment is approximately 52 pages. I was able to read it really quickly. I found both Red & Wolfe intriguing. Red has had some bad luck lately and is running out of funds. She’s getting to the point of being desperate. As hard as she tries she can’t seem to find a job for nothing. I […]

REVIEW: Alpha by Jasinda Wilder

REVIEW: Alpha by Jasinda Wilder

July 30, 2014 2 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I’m honestly torn on my thoughts for this book. The plot is unique, but the story itself has been told before. The heroine is not only naive, but she is very foolish. Who trusts a man they’ve never met or never even seen before? The hero demands she be blindfolded upon them first meeting face to face. He doesn’t give her his name. She doesn’t know what he looks like. She’s blindfolded yet […]

REVIEW: The Intern, Volume 2 by Brooke Cumberland

REVIEW: The Intern, Volume 2 by Brooke Cumberland

July 2, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Picking up right where Vol 1 left off, the story keeps getting more interesting. I can kind of see where it’s all going, but am unsure on a few things. I devoured this volume. Couldn’t put it down. The sex was really hot, well written, and plentiful. The chemistry these two share is really strong though at times I sort of found myself wondering how Ceci could pull off portraying a woman older […]

My thoughts… OMG! Another cliffhanger!!! I thought for sure that part three would be the final part of this serial. I was wrong. *sob* Ok so this part was sort of blah. I sort of feel like it was a filler. Nothing really seemed to be going on until the end. When the end got here though….. Wow! Another freaking awesome cliffhanger. I have to have part four now. NOW I tell you! I can’t […]

My thoughts… Dang! This book is hot. I own a couple books by Lauren Blakely. Sadly I haven’t had a chance to read either of them so this the first one I’ve read by her. I really enjoyed it. The sex is majorly hot, plentiful, and well written. The storyline is unique and captivating. I liked both Clay & Julia. The intense attraction between these two and passion they shared was unbelievably hot. I had […]

REVIEW: Asher by Jo Raven

REVIEW: Asher by Jo Raven

June 18, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Asher is the debut novel by Author Jo Raven. I liked it for the most part. I liked all the characters. Since this is the first book in a series, readers are introduced to the five young men who grew up as friends and treat each other like brothers. The five guys make up the heroes in each book. This book’s hero is Asher. The heroine is Audrey. I really liked these two. […]

My thoughts… I’m on a serial kick right now. At first I didn’t really care for them, but the Reasonable Doubt serial got me interested in reading them so I decided to give them another shot. Pulse offers an intriguing storyline and for the most part I liked this one. I wasn’t really into Nathan in the beginning, but I’ve slowly come around. I liked Jessica aka Jess right off the bat. I found her […]

REVIEW: The Intern, Volume 1 by Brooke Cumberland

June 12, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Normally I don’t read serials. I’m an impatient girl. Having said that, this serial was recommended to me and I figured I’d go ahead and give it a try. I liked it for the most part. I thought the plot was intriguing and the characters were interesting. Although the heroine sort of grated on my nerves at times. For 18 years old she’s both mature in some ways and naive in others. I […]

REVIEW: Between the Cracks by Helena Hunting

May 9, 2014 6 Comments Christy

My thoughts… At only fifty pages this is a really quick read. While it’s enjoyable, I don’t think it’s a necessary read. This one felt more like a filler. It’s written from Chris’s POV and covers Hayden’s trip to Tenley’s hometown. It also includes a scene that takes the relationship between Chris and Sarah to the next level. They have sex and I don’t think the sexual scene was up to par with the scenes […]

My thoughts… So this is the first book I’ve read by this author. I loved the synopsis and couldn’t wait to read it. I was so excited that I kept checking Amazon to see if perhaps it went live early. No such luck. 🙁 Once it was live though I dove right in. This book literally sucked me in from the very first page. Since my dad suffered a stroke on March 1st my reading […]

Mini Review: Kaleidoscope by Kristen Ashley

Mini Review: Kaleidoscope by Kristen Ashley

April 25, 2014 1 Comment Erin

I think it’s time to put the Colorado Mountain series to bed, because Jagged and Kaleidoscope aren’t anywhere near as good as the first four books in this series. They’re seriously lacking the suspense and the “OMGWTF is happening?” moments of the previous 4 books in this series. While I did like Kaleidoscope better than Jagged, it still pales in comparison to the rest of the series. I’m wondering if Kristen thought since Emme already […]

RELEASE DAY and REVIEW: Breathe into Me by Sara Fawkes

April 8, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This is the first book by Author Sara Fawkes that I’ve read. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this one, but the synopsis captured my attention and I couldn’t wait to get started reading it. I liked both of the main characters and some of the secondary characters. Lacey has had a rough life the last few years. After her father dies her mother packs herself, Lacey, and Lacey’s little brother […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]
