Arc:Three Broken Promises (Drew + Fable, #3) by Monica Murphy

Image
Three Broken Promises by Monica  Murphy My rating: 4 of 5 stars Arc copy given for review! Book 3 of the Drew + Fable series, but unlike the previous 2 this book focus is on Fables best friend and co-worker Jen and their boss Colin. But have no fear Fable and Drew are still around. Jen has been in love with Colin for as long as she can remember. He's been there for her looking out for her and protecting her. She's fallen on some pretty hard times in the past and it's been him who's picked her back up, rescued her. Moved her into his home, given her a job at his restaurant. But even still there are things that he doesn't know about, things that she doesn't want him or anyone to know about. So that's why she needs to go. She needs to walk away and not look back because her past is catching up and she's not ready to face it, she doesn't want to ever face it. But can she walk away from Colin and her feelings for him? Can she walk away without him...

Scrap by Emory Sharplin My rating: 4 of 5 stars There is a little town called Hellip, which is part of King Ibis's empire. He is a cruel and hateful man. His time on the thrown seems endless. In this town is a little girl, an orphan named Tucker. Who works as a bakers apprentice, she survives with the help of the other orphans and by stealing things from her work when the baker isn't looking. Her and her fellow orphans sometime pass the time telling stories, a popular one being about the missing daughter of the king and wondering what happened to her.   So dare you sing the rebels tune For his daughters rising soon We dare you sing the rebels tune If his daughters rising soon. One day while working a mysterious woman, Vivian leaves a gift for Tucker and from then on her life as she knew it to be changes. I REALLY liked this book. There where moments that really didn't surprise me but then there where moments where I went wow this story is just great. I was a littl...

Never Too Far (Too Far, #2) by Abbi Glines

Image
Never Too Far by Abbi Glines My rating: 4 of 5 stars Read on April 23, 2013 Never Too Far picks up just shortly after Fallen Too Far has left off. And I am so glad I waited to read them closer together. BUT NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL LATE SUMMER FOR BOOK 3!!! Like the last book this one was just as frustrating and just as fantastic. A little more serious, a little more grown up. More secrets, more lies. So many times I thought "please don't be stupid, please don't fuck this up". I want to say a few things about the side characters. Bethy, has turned out to be a great friend for Blaire and I'm really happy  how things have turned out good for her. I hope to see more of her in future books. In Fallen Too Far I liked Grant, I thought he was really sweet he was the nice guy to Rush's bad boy image. I liked him more then I liked Woods, this time around I found it the opposite. I still think Grant is great, I was just happy to see a certain side of...

At Grave's End (Night Huntress, #3) by Jeaniene Frost

Image
At Grave's End by Jeaniene Frost My rating: 5 of 5 stars Another fantastic book in ever growing fantastic series. Spike ;) I mean Bones is just as perfect as ever. James Marsters is MY Bones. I could gush about   Jeaniene Frost s Night Huntress books. They just get better and better. At Grave's End delivers as promised, it is intense, action packed. HOT! Humor filled, and heartbreaking.  It didn't disappoint. We get to meet some great and not so great figures of importance. (view spoiler) [Good ol' Drac himself, just don't call him that. ;) (hide spoiler) ] . I DO have some issues with some characters, or rather character, Tate. I'm over his "feelings" for Cat, dude needs to realize she is happy with Bones and time to move on. Yeah I know it's not going to be easy watching someone you love happy and in love with some else, especially when that someone else is someone hate. But it is what it is and Tate needs to find a nice girl all ...

Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

Image
Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris My rating: 3 of 5 stars So I go and pick up this book, I'm pumped. So very excited to be getting back to Sookie and Eric ( wipes drool off my chin). So picture if you will, I have the bottle of red open. I am all cozy and set to read. I stop and go "hmmm". Shake it off as the normal okay we are at the start of the book lets recap for those who might not remember. So I take some more sips and continue on. Stopping yet again, I go "hmm, um, yeah". We are hitting somewhere past the 100 mark and I'm getting a little worried, did I pay for a book that is just recap, recap, recap, filler words to take up space, recap?? I"m starting to think I did. Then FINALLY we start to get somewhere, it only took the better part of the book to do so, but at this point I'm happy and looking forward to the action. And next thing I knew it was over and I was left lying here feeling used and very unsatisfied. I don't want to say this...

Chased by Moonlight (Moonlight, #2) by Nancy Gideon

Image
Chased by Moonlight by Nancy Gideon My rating: 5 of 5 stars Book one was fantastic and book two did not disappoint at all. I couldn't put it down, any chance I got read I took it. We pick up were we left off in CeeCee and Max's relationship. Which is still a rather odd pairing, shifter mob boss and a human cop. I can't wait to see more of their tale unfold. We get more of Max's story in this one, which is rather interesting, and I am soooo looking forward to reading the rest of this series. View all my reviews

Dead, Undead, or Somewhere in Between (Rhiannon's Law #1) by J.A. Saare

Image
Dead, Undead, or Somewhere in Between by J.A. Saare My rating: 5 of 5 stars Rhiannon is great, she has this take no shit attitude. Which is her mask, her wall so to speak. She has a lot hidden things in her past, she's gone through so much pain. At first I wasn't a fan of how she treated and acted around Disco, but as the story went on things changed, her trust grew. Her lack of trust is understandable based on her past and well because hello vampire. Speaking of Disco, hello new book boyfriend. Loved this book, great start to what I hope will be a fantastic series. And the ending, wow. Soooo can't wait to read the next book. View all my reviews

A Hope Springs Christmas by Patricia Davids

Image
A Hope Springs Christmas by Patricia Davids My rating: 4 of 5 stars A Hope Springs Christmas is the the seventh book in the Brides of Amish County series. But works very well as a stand alone. Which is what it was for me. Sarah is a widow, and doesn't think she will ever find love again, in fact she doesn't want to. She's afraid to love again, afraid because to here it seems that everyone she loves is taken away from her too soon. Levi, a bachelor, to some believe he is destined to be an 'old boy'. Lives and works across the way from Sarah, renting out the place for a buggy business. He's always dreamed of leaving Hope Springs to go Colorado, but because of his promise to Jonas, Sarah late husband and his best friend he stays to make sure she is well looked after until she remarries. Sarah and Levi are tossed together more then normal as Grace, his sister, goes off to Pennsylvania to visit their Grandmother. While she is there helping out at the shop, Grace...

Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Image
Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fantastic! I was unsure how I was going to like Daemon because I liked Dawson so much in Shadows and well he wasn't the most pleasant person in it. And yes he's still acting like an asshat but I didn't mind it. It helped in the tension development between him and Katy. Which is always plus for me. As I read this I was literally laughing out loud, some of the digs where just great. So can't wait to read the next book. View all my reviews

Full Moon Rising (Riley Jenson Guardian, #1) by Keri Arthur

Image
Full Moon Rising by Keri Arthur My rating: 5 of 5 stars I just LOVED this book. Fast paced, action packed, HOT and sexy. Time to add another book boyfriend to the list, Quinn. Oh how I can not wait to meet up with you again, and I do hope we do soon. View all my reviews

Cowboy Heat (Hell Yeah!, #1) by Sable Hunter

Image
Cowboy Heat by Sable Hunter My rating: 3 of 5 stars Aron is the eldest of the McCoy boys, it's been four since he's been with a woman. He's been burned in the past by his ex-wife and he isn't looking for anything serious, in fact he isn't looking at all. Then he see's Libby standing in his kitchen, and he wants her, he wants her really bad. Libby has leukemia, she's been battling it for years, but good news she is now in remission and wants to go out and live her life for however long she has. She's read many erotic romance novels, and she wants to experience all that she has read, and it's Aron that she wants to do them with. I'm not going to lie at times, lots of times, I found Cowboy Heat to be very cheesy. Painfully cheesy even. I'm not trying to be mean, or bash this book. But somethings had be shaking my head and thinking oh dear. At the very end of this book, there was a random character written in. At first I was thinking what is ...

One Foot in the Grave (Night Huntress, #2) by Jeaniene Frost

Image
One Foot in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost My rating: 5 of 5 stars Book two of Jeaniene Frosts Night Huntress series, does not disappoint. You want action, HOT bedroom scenes, a sexy British vampire, then this book is for you. I still picture Spike as Bones, even if he isn't a peroxide blonde. But I tend to place James Marsters as leading man in a lot of my books ;) View all my reviews

Point of Retreat (Slammed, #2) by Colleen Hoover

Image
Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book was so butterflying good, yeah I needed to say that. I spent the past two days reading this book and Slammed , I am emotionally drained, but that's a good thing. I could go on about these books, about its characters, who are some of the best written and interesting characters I have had the pleasure to meet in long time. But I won't because this book, these books you just need to read for yourself. I have read many books in my life and I love many books, but there are only small handful of series/books that have left me feeling like this, like I don't know where to go, what to do next, and that's a good thing. All I can say is wow. I just have to say thank you Collen Hoover for writing these two wonderfully powerful books. View all my reviews

Inside Out (Insider, #1) by Maria V. Snyder

Image
Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder My rating: 4 of 5 stars 4 1/2 stars. I haven't really read many dystopian novels, so this was a nice change for me. When I had first started I was unsure if I was going to like it but as I got further into it I hooked. Trella, the "Queen of the Pipes" as her fellow srubs call her, did not believe that there was something else, something/place better, the gateway as they call it. In her mission to prove it's non-existence or even existence, meets Riley, an upper, and discovers that what she has always believed isn't what it seems. Still some stones uncovered, really looking forward to reading the next book. Definitely a book I can see me re-reading, need to pick up physical copy. View all my reviews

Outlander (Outlander, #1) by Diana Gabaldon

Image
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed the story but I found it to be a tad too long. I would have been perfectly happy to see the story end a little sooner then it did. Will I read the others? Not really sure, as I'm happy to see it as a stand alone. View all my reviews

Darkfever (Fever #1) by Karen Marie Moning

Image
Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning My rating: 4 of 5 stars I will admit was a little wary going into it, I had read a few years ago and I wasn't a huge fan of it so I didn't know what I was going to be getting with this one. I was very impressed. Such a great improvement from the other book by her I had read. Really looking forward to reading the second book in this series. I enjoyed it that much I'll probably give her Highlander series another go. I can't wait to find out more about Jericho Barons. View all my reviews

The Housewife Assassin's Handbook by Josie Brown My rating: 5 of 5 stars Many twists and turns, very intense. And funny, loved the tips at the start of each chapter. I was not going to bed until I finished it. Can't wait for the second book. View all my reviews

Glamour by Penelope Fletcher My rating: 3 of 5 stars The Demon Girl, now released as Glamour. I enjoyed it, in this edition there was a few mistakes but that can be easily over looked. The general story was really good. View all my reviews

Mine Till Midnight (The Hathaways, #1) by Lisa Kleypas

Image
Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a first time read for this author for me, an no way will it be a last. This book was fantastic, although frustrating at times. I wanted to yell at Amelia and tell her to just say yes gosh darn it. I did adore her though, her character was great. Christopher is a bastard who every time he appeared I hoped he would fall in a well. I really liked Cam, he was very mysterious. And I can't wait to find out more about him and what the connection is between him and Merripen. I know nothing of the next book but I do hope it continues where this one leaves off with Amelia and Cam. View all my reviews
