My thoughts… Sadly I had to DNF this book. The plot for this story was really intriguing and I was really excited to start reading it. Not long after I started reading things started to go downhill though. I feel like the relationship between Ashlyn and “Logan” progressed too quickly. Ashlyn put herself at risk with him time and time again. Here we have a young man who has lost his memory, who is accused […]

REVIEW: His Secrets by Lisa Renee Jones

REVIEW: His Secrets by Lisa Renee Jones

February 24, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… This is a very short read. A lot shorter then I thought it would be. I sort of feel like it was a filler novella. Nothing really stands out about it to me. It was more of the same storyline as the last book. Centered around Chris and his secrets. The title is fitting I think. I sort of feel this novella was unnecessary to the overall storyline. Behind Closed Doors (Inside Out, […]

My thoughts… I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! To be honest before I decided to read this book I was a little concerned that I wouldn’ t be able to view Vince as sexy. If you’ ve read book one Vince or Vinny as he’ s also know as is a young 12 / 13 year old. In this book he’ s all grown up. Let me tell you… I didn’ t need to be concerned at […]

My thoughts… I loved this one. Author Carey Heywood takes the reader on a journey around the world. The characters which are rich with emotions go to places like London, Beijing, Australia, and many others. It was fun learning about the different places they visited and experiencing it through the eyes of these characters. Speaking of characters… I really liked Aubrey and Adam. When you first meet Aubrey she is heartbroken. Her aunt is dying […]

At the theater, we bought popcorn, Milk Duds, and large sodas. After we settled in our seats in the crowded room, I opened the box of chocolate caramel confections and dumped them in the large tub. “Um,” Quinn said, scratching his chin. “Sweet and salty—it’ s a must-have for movie watching.” “Seriously?” “Yes, seriously.” I picked up a Milk Dud, flanked it with two pieces of popcorn, and then brought it to his lips. “Here.

My thoughts… I loved this book! Ms Shalvis has written another great story that fits nicely into the Lucky Harbor series. In case you didn’ t know, the Lucky Harbor series is one of my favorite contemporary romance series. Each book not only features a hot alpha hero, but beautiful heroines to boot. Most of which are sassy in their own way. To say I love this series is an understatement. You can always count […]

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 […]

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 […]
