The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia, #2) by C.S. Lewis, Pauline Baynes (Illustrator)

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe is a great representation of childhood innocence. I can remember Narnia from my childhood, I can not recall if I read this book myself or had it told to me. I believe all children should step in the wardrobe at least once, and if you are a grown up child and haven't ventured in, it's never to late. You are never to old for fairy tales, you are never to old to believe in magic and magical places. View all my reviews

A Hathaway Wedding (The Hathaways, #2.5) by Lisa Kleypas

A Hathaway Wedding by Lisa Kleypas My rating: 5 of 5 stars You misunderstand," Merripen interrupted quietly. "I'm not asking if we can negotiate, I'm informing you that we will I love Merripen. I have only one complaint, tooo short. I want MORE!!!! Oh Beatrix, I am so excited to read your story. "It's just that I can't help wishing to find someone who sees the world as I do. How silly and senseless all these rules are. Manners, corsets, gossip, asparagus forks...and heaven help me, polite conversation. If I can't talk about something real, I'd rather not talk at all." I have a feeling I'll be hugging Love in the Afternoon to my chest many times. View all my reviews

His Secret Duchess (Harlequin Historical #393) by Gayle Wilson

Image
His Secret Duchess by Gayle Wilson My rating: 3 of 5 stars 3.5 Stars I liked this book, you have long lost lovers reuniting, families becoming whole, a mad man who get's off on hurting people, revenge, attempted murder. Mary and Nick haven't seen each other since the afternoon Nick had to go off to battle. They laid together for the first time, the same afternoon privately vow themselves to each other in an old church, the register signed in his blood. With child and not hearing word from Nick, Mary goes to a family offering her child, she lives as the child governess. Many years later Nick, or should I say the Duke of Vail, hears a story about a Mary Winters who is on trial and with out protection, off he runs to save her. There is plenty to be said between those two, why there was no word and contact. And that they have a child together. A child Mary will do anything to get back from the mad man who has taken him to be his own. I had a longer/better review wrote but I am g...

Snowbound by M.G. Braden

Image
Snowbound by M.G. Braden My rating: 2 of 5 stars What the heck? That's it? Cassie is in a crappy long relationship with a major D-bag. It's always his way, finally she gets what she wants, a week trip at a ski lodge. They get in a big fight, before this she is stranded on the hills in nasty weather (he of course doesn't seem to concerned, because on top of being a d-bag he has a side of ass hat too). Why they fight is because the guy she skied into, Daniel, helped her down and they came into the lodge together. Mr. D-bag, or Rick as the author has named him breaks up with her and leaves her stranded at the lodge. Cassie and Dan become friends and spend time together, and they are running hot and cold. And really I can't say hot, more so lukewarm and cold. Both jumping to conclusions with out asking. And what the heck is with the end, it just ended. It wasn't for me. There was potential but in the end it didn't do it for me. View all my reviews

A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1) by Deborah Harkness

Image
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness My rating: 4 of 5 stars So this book was great. When I first started it felt a little slow, but I must confess when I started reading I was rather tried so that might have played a slight role in the slowness of the book. Hence the 4 stars rather then 5. I found the the information about alchemy fascinating, the whole story is so interesting. The descriptions of everything were perfect (to me at least). I can not wait to find out what happens next. I'm a excited and a little scared, not because the book is scary, I'm scared for Diana. And I want to know what Hamish meant, I want to know the secrets Matthew has yet to share. One of my favorite characters in the book, is not really character per say, the Bishop house. I love that it seems to have mind of it's own and secrets of it's own too. I like that the ghost of family members of years past live there still. I'm so looking forward to reading Shadow of Night .

Amish Stud Arousal by Ruby Matthews

Amish Stud Arousal by Ruby Matthews My rating: 1 of 5 stars From the moment I opened it and started reading I couldn't keep a straight face. There was much head shaking because this book is just so wrong and bad. It is written like someone was trying way too hard. Lol I don't think I can say anything good about it. Apparently there's a whole Amish Stud Collection, running out to read those, nope. I didn't even want to give it the one star. View all my reviews

My Favorite Mistake (My Favorite Mistake, #1) by Chelsea M. Cameron

Image
My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron My rating: 4 of 5 stars *So I had this big whole review wrote up and well poof it's gone. Taylor and Hunter are roommates along with two other girls, to him he has hit the jackpot. To Taylor she wants him gone now. She wants him gone before he even showed up, there has to be a mistake, he's well a he. And a cocky know it all who doesn't call her by her real name and well lucky for her it's her room he's sharing. They both have their secrets, they both push each other away when they seem to be heading in direction of them. They defect, the snap, they don't talk. When I first started reading this, Hunter and Taylor annoyed me. But as I continued reading they started to grow on me, especially Hunter. I love the banter between those two, to quote Renee (roommate) "You guys eye f**k each other every second you can". Makes me think of Def Leppards, When Love and Hate Collide View all my reviews
