Descension by B.C. Burgess
I don’t know about you, but I grew up reading those romance books where you didn’t get to the actual romance/resolution until the last chapter. I remember screaming at the book, “YES, he loves you! Yes she loves you. You know you’re going to get together so get on with it.” Did you hate when characters wouldn’t say how they felt as much as I did? Well, finally Mrs. Burgess has written the book where the guy will actually tell you how he feels. REFRESHING! In Descension, the love story between Layla’s parents and the love between Layla and Quin … Continue reading

Interview with Sherri Hayes, Author of Red Zone
Red Zone is an interesting title for this book. How did you come up with it? Red Zone is a football term. In football, the red zone is the portion of the field from the 20 yard line to the goal. This area is crucial for a team because if they fall apart in the red zone, then they will most likely leave the field with only three points instead of seven. It’s make it or break it for a team. I thought it was the perfect title for a romantic suspense novel involving a professional football player. Rebecca … Continue reading

The Watcher by Lisa Voisin
Title: The Watcher Rating: Genre: YA / Supernatural Publisher: Inkspell Publishing Release Date: March 4, 2013 Review: In my quest to find epic YA books, I was thrilled to be asked to review an ARC of The Watcher by Lisa Voisin. Mia reminded me a lot of Schuyler from the Blue Bloods series or Luce from the Fallen series. As with many other books of this variety, we have semi-quirky, not-so-popular girl that attracts the attention of a super-cute bad-boy with a secret. I loved Mia because she was practical and had real reactions to the oddities happening in her … Continue reading

A Song for Julia by Charles Sheehan-Miles
4 Stars! I once again am honored to be writing a review for Charles Sheehan-Miles. He is a wonderful writer and I enjoy every minute I’m reading one of his romance books. His characters are well developed and the way he folds and blends the past and present together is stunning. In A Song for Julia we get to hear the story of Julia and Crank (yes that is his real name). We catch a glimpse of them in Just Remember to Breathe but now we know the whole story. Now we know the hardship Julia faced being the oldest … Continue reading

Deborah Harkness spins an adventurous story of supernatural beings living among humans. I loved everything about this journey with Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont.

Diana tries to live an ordinary life, a life without her powers. … Continue reading

Hollywood Holiday by Sasha Summers
Title: Hollywood Holiday Rating: Genre: Romance Publisher: Inkspell Publishing Release Date: December 7, 2012 Review: I’m not usually into romance, but it seems I’ve been tapping into my inner girly-girl recently. I was intrigued from the get-go – I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone who was terrified of flying. But then Jen meets seriously hot guy, Gunner Foster. What I liked: As a contemp, the story flowed really well. Sasha created a world without dry spots and stuck to realism, for the most part. Jen, as a protagonist, was easy to get along with. Jen was the kind of … Continue reading

Valley of Dust
Title: Valley of Dust Author: Karoleen Vry Brucks Genre: Supernatural, Romance, Drama Publisher: Xlibris Corporation Release Date: August 7, 2012 Review: Valley of Dust receives 1 star. This is not an easy review for me. I had very high hopes for this book, but I wasn’t too far in when I knew that this book was going nowhere. I’ve read so many books in my lifetime. Some are great, some may have a great storyline while not particularly well written and some are just bad. Valley of Dust unfortunately falls into the last category and for a multitude of reasons. … Continue reading

Serial Summer by @LawsonWrites
Title: Serial Summer Rating: Author: Angel Lawson Genre: Adult / New Adult / Romance / Contemporary Publisher: Amazon Digital Services, Inc. Release Date: September-October 2012 Review: Serial Summer is a little gem of a book by one of my favorite indie authors, Angel Lawson. What I love about Ms. Lawson is that she’s not afraid to take chances and go the unconventional route. In the case of this book, she decided to release it as a four-part serial over the course of a month (the story is now also available in one volume at Amazon). I know that a lot … Continue reading
Troll or Derby by @RedTashBooks
Title: Troll or Derby Rating: Genre: YA Fantasy Publisher: Amazon Release Date: June 14, 2012 The final stop of the blog tour! Click the image to buy! Review: From the get-go, I was hooked. I’m a huge sucker for stories that are original and break free from the cookie cutters we’ve grown to know and love. Like Gina Damico, Tash does a great job of implanting humor so that Troll or Derby isn’t just another YA fantasy/romance. The first character we meet is McJagger. Seriously. While roller Deb isn’t your average heroine, she fell a little short for me. There … Continue reading

In love with Naturally, Charlie by @slscottauthor
So, let me tell you about Naturally, Charlie. Or rather, let me tell you my initial thoughts when I started reading it. In Chapter One, I had proclaimed Charlie B as my new best friend. Likeable, funny and sensitive, I wanted to include her on my morning coffee run and sip cocktails with her in Greenwich Village at night. In Chapter Two, I had a schoolgirl crush on Charlie A. Witty, strong-willed and as delicious as hot cakes, I wanted to be the girl he confided in while giggling uncontrollable at his charm and humour. By Chapter Six I was … Continue reading

Title: Remember Me Rating: Author: Brian L. MacLearn Genre: Adult/Science-Fiction/Romance Publisher: Outskirts Press Release Date: August 6, 2012 Review: The subject of time travel has always been an interesting one to me, so the premise of this book hooked me right away.
