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
The Spanish Billionaire’s Hired Bride by @RachelLyndhurst
The Spanish Billionaire’s Hired Bride - Been caught stealing – that is what came to mind when I started reading The Spanish Billionaire’s Hired Bride because that is how Ricardo Almanza met Helen Marshall – he thought she was stealing, which lead me to believe she was a high society thief and this uber rich man was going to get sucked into her devious web. Nope. Helen is his stepmother’s girl Thursday – or cocktail maker who quickly catches the eye of the dapper Almanza. When he offers Helen a ride home to her ghetto apartment an idea takes form. … 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.

Interview with @CheleaFine author of ANEW!
1. How did you come up with the idea of a semi-immortal? I wanted my character, Scarlet, to keep dying and coming back to life, but since she was human (and not half-angel or part-god or anything) I had to make up some new rules. Most semi-immortals are children with one mortal parent and one immortal parent. Not Scarlet. Scarlet is semi-immortal because of a mishap with a hot guy, his immortal blood, and a cursed arrow that pierced her heart five hundred years ago. (Darn those hot, immortal mishaps! They’ll getcha every time.) I wanted Scarlet’s semi-immortal state to … Continue reading

Review: Breathe by Abbi Glines
4 Stars for Breathe Yes, I’m a little late to the party, but only review wise. I read Breathe over the summer, but have totally failed in getting my review posted. But no more… Loved it! I’m a sap for a good contemp and Abbi Glines totally delivers. Every character is lovable and one huge draw for me is that various characters have their own stories. This, I love! Not many authors will continue a contemp, let alone characters and Abbi has and continues to do so. Breathe is every girls dream. Well almost. I mean well have all dreamt at one … Continue reading

Time’s Daughter by Anya Breton
Title: Time’s Daughter Rating: ★★★ Genre: YA / Supernatural Publisher: Smashwords Release Date: April 19, 2012 Review: I stumbled upon Time’s Daughter while I perusing Smashwords one day looking for something to read that didn’t make me want to pull out my hair. When I found Time’s Daughter, I couldn’t have been more pleased. Often, self-published works get a bad reputation, but Anya Breton proves that self-publishing sometimes rolls out some diamonds among heaps of coal. What I Loved: 1. Character Development. I loved that Aeon didn’t know about her powers and that she stumbled upon them while she was … Continue reading

Broken City by D.D. Chant
Title: Broken City Rating: ★★★★ Genre: YA / Dystopia Publisher: Smashwords Release Date: February 7, 2011 Review: Twenty-year-old Deeta Richards has a lot to deal with. She’s young and unmarried, though she cares for her siblings as well as the unofficially adopted children of her best friend, Tom, and Professor Jepson. I love well-done dystopia and Broken City was one of those books I couldn’t put down. What I Loved: 1. Okay, so I love a realistic romance, not one of those wishy-washy, cry your heart out, type teenage romances that seem all too common. Deeta has an unspoken love … Continue reading
