Review: The Missionary by Jack Wilder

Review: The Missionary by Jack Wilder

October 19, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Where to begin. I loved The Missionary. It’s an epic read, and an unbelievable debut novel by author Jack Wilder. I’ve been looking forward to the release of this book!! I emailed inquiring about release day several times. To say I was excited about this one is an understatement. The synopsis captured my attention, and once I received a review copy in my email inbox I knew I had to start it right […]

My thoughts… OMG! I need novella #2. Like. Right. Now. Such a cliffhanger with this one. Boo 🙁 Ok. This being a novella of course it’s pretty short. Things move at a very fast pace. I liked both Anna and Gray’s characters. I found them both to be interesting. I was happy when they acted upon their attraction for each other. I think together they make a good couple. The sexual scenes are comparable to […]

My thoughts… I’m a fan of reading the heroes POV in stories. I like to experience how they perceived things. I loved Travis Maddox in Beautiful Disaster so I knew that I needed to read his story. I’m happy that I did. I really enjoyed it. I think the author did a great job writing this companion novel. I didn’t grow bored with it. I didn’t find myself skimming. It captured and held my attention […]

My thoughts… Where to begin with this one. I loved this book and it’s characters. The synopsis caught my attention and I couldn’t wait to get started reading it. It captured and held my attention from the beginning until the very end. I kept turning page after page to see what would happen next. Speaking of… I really liked both Elle and Nico. In the beginning Elle is described as plain and boring. She lives […]

BOO!ks for October/ARC Review: Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst

BOO!ks for October/ARC Review: Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst

October 9, 2013 4 Comments Regina

Conjured is Magical Realism at it’s finest. (Okay, I am posting this ARC review waaaaay late, but as the saying goes, “Better late, than NEVER!” ) Conjured is the kind of story that makes me want to invent words to use to describe it. Basic vocabulary seems unfitting for such a unique story. After reading it, the first thought that sprung to mind was, ” Man, I really want to interview this author!”.  The cover […]

My thoughts… I’ve read this one once before. I left a four star rating on Goodreads a while back and said “From the beginning until the end I loved everything about this story.” Not much of a review, but it’s straight and to the point. I’d like to add I loved Bliss and Garrick from the beginning. The chemistry they share is apparent from the beginning. Upon meeting in a bar their attraction is so […]

My thoughts… I have so many mixed feelings about this book. The synopsis captured my attention and I couldn’t wait to get started reading it. It wasn’t to far into it that things started to go wrong. The characters or should I say the hero has issues. A lot of issues. I found Donovan’s actions to be odd at times. In some ways I could see why he acted the way he did at times, […]

October 5, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I’m sort of conflicted about this book. After reading Fixed on You (book one) I didn’t think a book two was necessary, but I was excited to get more Hudson Pierce. Immediately things started to frustrate me. Alayna was doing things that had me shaking my head. Literally. I couldn’t understand the point of some of her actions. There was a lot of back and forth with her decisions. I almost started to […]

Review: Out of Line by Jen McLaughlin

Review: Out of Line by Jen McLaughlin

September 30, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… Out of Line is written by a new to me author. A publicist I follow on twitter tweeted about it. It was on sale for 99¢ so I thought I’d give it a try. For the most part I liked it. I thought the main characters were interesting. Things start off a little rocky between the hero and the heroine. Finn almost seems a little stalkerish at first. I can understand why he’s […]

My thoughts… It took me a little bit to get into this one, but after 50 or so pages I found that I could hardly put it down. The plot was really interesting and I enjoyed reading this story. It’s a humorous, sexy, and sometimes emotional read. I admit I teared up a couple times while reading it. I liked both the hero and heroine and most of the secondary characters. The heroine is Alayna. […]

My thoughts… Midnight Lies is the second book in the Wildfire series. As with the first one I loved this book. This is turning out to be a great series. The plot was intriguing and I couldn’t wait to get started. Author Ella Grace is a pseudonym for Christy Reece. I’ve read all of her previous books and loved them. She writes really good romantic suspense series. I loved both Quinn & Samantha. They were […]

This book started out slow for me. It took a while for me to warm up to Lily, but eventually I got there. Like other female characters of JLA’s, Lily was full of some good snark and I think that is what finally got me. Lily is one kick-ass girl who hardly ever gets into a situation that she can’t get herself out of. Though, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a guardian angel looking […]

My thoughts… ZOMG! Loved this story. Hard. This is either the fourth or fifth book by Author Jasinda Wilder that I’ve read and it was incredible. I was drawn in by the synopsis and couldn’t wait to get started reading it. Amazing. That’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of it. I loved it so much. It held my attention from page one and didn’t let go until the very end. […]

September 17, 2013 0 Comments Christy

My thoughts… I loved this one. The synopsis grabbed my attention and I couldn’t wait to start reading. Avery and Bennett are alike in some ways and different in others. Both have had shitty home life’s. Their mothers weren’t very good role models, but what makes them different is how they handle themselves. Where Avery has to be in control of all aspects of her life including sexual partners, Bennett doesn’t have sex. Period. He’s […]

My thoughts… I really enjoyed this one. At first I was a little mad though. I did NOT like the hero at all. I found him to be extremely rude. Some of the things he said to the heroine was downright hateful at times. I couldn’t quite figure out why he had such a strong negative reaction to her. I know that later on in the book things are revealed a little bit concerning that, […]

My thoughts… This is the first one by author Kendall Ryan that I’ve read. For the most part I really liked it. There were a few issues I had with it though. I liked Avery. Although I found her to be a bit naive. She was sort of complex. She’s got a big secret and it takes a while to find out just exactly what it is. When all is revealed I sort of think […]

I discovered this series after finishing Obsidian, by Jennifer Armentrout. I was desperate to chase the first book in the Lux series with something that had romance, tension, and a Sci-Fi edge to it. Not surprisingly, Amazon came to the rescue. ” Your cart is empty, ” Amazon says. “Give it purpose,” Amazon says. So, of course, unable to ignore these desperate pleas to give my cart meaning any longer, I looked at the recommendations […]

My thoughts… I’ve heard so much about this book. If you’re a romance reader. And obviously you are if you’re visiting my blog. Then you’ve heard about this book. I’ve owned this one for so long. Just never got around to reading it. I’m attending Penned Con 2014 in St. Louis next fall and I thought I’d try to read a least one book by each of the authors that are attending the conference. Samantha […]

My thoughts… Revealing Us was really, really good. There are a few new characters introduced in this one. A couple women I didn’t like at all for reasons I can’t really talk about because of spoiler issues. I can say that they both have a past history with Chris. There was also a guy named Tristan who I would like to know more about, but I’m not sure if that will happen. There are all […]
