My thoughts… I really liked this one. The plot was really interesting and I couldn’t help but be sucked in from the very first page. It kept my interest throughout the entire book. I kept turning page after page to see how things would end up. At one point the author broke my heart. *sob* I just couldn’t believe it. You know when things are going along fairly well and you are waiting for the […]
My thoughts… Hated is the final book in the Rock Star trilogy by Mercy Amare. I have to say that I’m a little sad that this series has come to an end. I’ve really enjoyed spending time with not only the main characters, but the secondary characters as well. This one starts off with Stephan and Scarlett being newlyweds. I don’t know why, but I had forgotten that Stephan and Scarlett tied the knot at […]
My thoughts… OMG Wow! Where to start… I LOVED this book! For reals. I’m a fan of H.M. Wards work and knew that I HAD to read this one. I liked Jonathan in other books and wanted to hear his story. Stripped didn’t disappoint. It held my attention from the beginning until the very end and left me hungry for more. It was a really quick read for me. I loved Cassie! She has old […]

She also believes her husband is secretly an alien, disguised as a southern gentleman. Her first book was independently published through an author cooperative in 2011; a YA Science Fiction book called […]
My thoughts… Warning: This review may be a bit spoilerish. I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand I liked it. But on the other hand there were a few issues I had with it. The heroine loathed the hero for half of this book. And then all of sudden it sort of turned into insta-love. I’m not really a big fan of this element. I just felt sort of confused. I […]

My thoughts… This is going to be a very short review of Me, Cinderella. I was drawn in by the synopsis and thought this sounded like a great read. Once I started reading I quickly realized that this one wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. Upon meeting Eliot, Brynn tells him her name but it isn’t really her name. It’s a fake name. I’m not sure what the purpose of that was. […]
Katy’s boyfriend’s back, and someone’s gonna be in trouble… [sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://mereadalot.com/muzak/06-the_raveonettes-my_boyfriends_back.mp3″] <–Click for this review’s theme music. (My Boyfriend’s Back by the Raveonettes) We’re gonna need a bigger movie studio for this one. I don’t really know how to review this book, except by ”objectifying” it. When I first saw the cover of Origin, it brought me to my knees. I freaked out. My friends freaked out. The blogosphere freaked out. WE ALL FREAKED […]

My thoughts… I really, really liked this one. The synopsis drew me in and I was hooked from page one. If I hadn’t started reading Elite so late in the day I could have easily read it in one sitting. I liked the main characters for the most part. Tracey aka Trace was a bit naive. When she arrives at school she is immediately treated as a charity case. She was accepted into the Elite […]
You can find my review of Introductions (The Academy #1) here. This book had me ready to rip my clothes off. Sang and the boys are back with a bang, and these are the sexiest First Days of school that I’ve ever attended. In book one of this series we learn that the boys will be infiltrating Sang’s public school. Sang is still having to dodge bullets to hang out with the boys, but she […]
My thoughts… Escaping Me is the first story by author Elizabeth Lee that I’ve read. I liked it for the most part. At times the dialogue and the actions of the characters seemed to be a little juvenile. The plot was interesting and kept my attention until the very end though. I liked both Whitney and Cole. Whitney was a people pleaser and a bit naive. I really liked the fact that after finding her […]
Hey, fellow Roswell-Read-A-Long peeps! Please enjoy another awesome GUEST REVIEW of The Vanished by Meredith Maresco of Pandorasbooks.org: Much like Vanished, The Rebel surprised me. It was better than I expected, though some parts left much to be desired. I still can’ t get over the physical appearances of the characters in the books versus the show. Every time Max is described with blonde hair and blue eyes, I just want to cringe. Also, my mind […]
My thoughts… I love New Adult. And I loved this one. The characters were really interesting and I loved getting to know them. Avery. I liked her. She’s running from a past that isn’t quite explained until the end. I sort of figured out what it is based on the hints that are given throughout the story though. I didn’t however like her parents. They seemed anything but loving. Cam. *swoon* He is awesome and […]
Jasinda Wilder has done it again. I loved this one! I was drawn in by the synopsis and I couldn’t wait to get started. The idea of a virgin being a stripper meeting a Hollywood playboy was intriguing from the get go. I had a hard time putting this one down. It kept my interest from the beginning until the very end. Grey is the virgin stripper. I really liked her. After leading a very sheltered […]

It is with pleasure that I share with you an awesome review of the first book in the My Alien Romance series by Magan Vernon.

My thoughts… Slow Surrender is the first novel by author Cecilia Tan I’ve read. I have to say that I enjoyed it. There were a few things that were awkward with it though. I really liked Karina. She’s in grad school and about to graduate. She’s still undecided about what she actually wants to do with her life after she graduates. She meets James while she’s covering for a waitress at her sisters bar one […]
Hey, fellow Roswell-Read-A-Long peeps! Please enjoy this awesome GUEST REVIEW of The Vanished by Meredith Maresco of Pandorasbooks.org: As a fan of the Roswell television series, I was a little reluctant to read the books, especially when I found out the books actually preceded the television show. I had fallen in love the with actors who played the characters, and so many things get changed in the process of creating a show or movie based […]
My thoughts… I liked Deeper. It’s a pretty good read for a debut novel. There were a few tiny things I didn’t care for, but for the most part I enjoyed reading this one. The characters were very likable for the most part and I enjoyed getting to know Rain and Knight. Speaking of Knight…what a different and unique name. I like it. Both Rain and Knight have issues. Even though they both have issues […]
My thoughts… I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. I love both Leah and Jack. They’ve been in previous books and I couldn’t wait to read their story. Leah is a pastry chef who doesn’t ever complete anything. It stems from her youth when her father would constantly berate her and tell her things like “You’ll never amount to nothing” or “You never finish anything you start.” At the beginning of this book […]
