Review: Rome by Jay Crownover

Review: Rome by Jay Crownover

January 15, 2014 0 Comments Christy

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 […]

Review: Night Owl by M. Pierce

Review: Night Owl by M. Pierce

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 […]

My thoughts… What the hell did I just read? I don’t get it. Seriously. I finished this book last night and I’m still trying to figure it all out. I read the synopsis before I signed up for an ARC. The plot seemed interesting to me, but when I started reading it things just went downhill. I think I get where the author was going with this story, but from the description I was under […]

Review: Three Broken Promises by Monica Murphy

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

  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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

My thoughts… Omigosh! I loved this one!!! Its a great start to a new series. I’ve read the Damaged and Stripped series by Ms Ward and couldn’t wait to read this one. I signed up for an ARC not knowing anything about The Proposition other than it being Bryan’s story. It captured my attention from page one and didn’t let go. As I’m writing this I’m still reeling from it. I need Vol 2 like […]
