After Eden by Helen Douglas

After Eden by Helen Douglas

February 3, 2014 6 Comments Regina

          I have reddish-brown hair and the palest skin that blushes fiercely, all the way from my chest to my forehead. Eden is our main chick and she shares her name with a couple of other things besides the title in this tale of time travel and romance.  I found her to be a sensible and likable character; a fair skinned beauty who makes the same mistake most  high school girls […]

Review: Come to Me Quietly by A.L. Jackson

February 3, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… A fellow blogger tweeted about how she loved this book so I decided to give it a try. A.L. Jackson is a new to me author so I wasn’ t really sure what to expect when I started reading it. When I read the synopsis I thought it had the potential to be a great read. I can honestly say that I’ m glad I gave this book a chance. I really enjoyed […]

BLOG TOUR and REVIEW: A Sip of You by Sorcha Grace

January 31, 2014 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… A Sip of You is the second book in Sorcha Grace’ s the Epicurean series. While I liked this one the heroine grated on my nerves at times. She would make up her mind to do certain things or act a certain way only to see the hero again and do the exact opposite. After a while it got old. William acted much better in this book. In the first book I didn’ […]

  When I started reading this book and saw that the mc, Violet, lives in Bozeman, Montana, I instantly thought of the episode of The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon relocates to Bozeman after having their apartment broken in to. I wondered if maybe the author saw this episode and decided to use it as her backdrop for her gnome series?     This book has all kinds of things going on in it. From […]

My thoughts… This book picks up where book one left off with Karina in London. As she searches for James she discovers a secret society that caters to the sensual thrills of the wealthy and powerful. (see synopsis) Here she meets Damon George. I’ m just going to come out and say it right off the bat. I REALLY liked Damon. He’ s wealthy, good looking, and he goes after what he wants. And what […]

My thoughts… Believe is book three in the True Believers series by Author Erin McCarthy. I enjoyed this one. There were a few things about it that were unrealistic to me, but for the most part I loved it. The hero: Phoenix. The poor guy has had it rough in life. The Mann brothers are his cousins. He just got out of jail after doing a 6 months. New to this series, Phoenix, is a […]

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 […]

My thoughts… This book was really good. It’ s the debut novel by Author Stina Lindenblatt. After reading the synopsis I decided to give it a try. It sounded interesting and I couldn’ t wait to get started. I love the characters in this book. Both Marcus and Amber are broken. They have both been through a lot in their short years. They’ ve not only suffered abuse, but loss as well. The Hero: Marcus […]

My thoughts… The St. Helena Vineyard series is one of my favorites series. I’ ve read all of the books in this series and love them all. I love the characters, the setting, and the overall feel of these stories. I love slipping into their world and spending time with them. One of the things I love most of this series though is that it’ s funny. The dialogue cracks me up every time I […]

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… 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 […]
