Grave Witch

Grave Witch (Alex Craft, #1)Grave Witch by Kalayna Price

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I was really hesitant to read this. I tried one book by this author and didn't get past the first couple pages, but I'd been considering this book for awhile, and I finally decided to just suck it up and give it a shot. I'm really glad I did. It was really really good.

The characters were all fully fleshed out, even the minor-est of characters were fully formed. The plot was compelling, though not particularly unique. If you're in the mood for a well written story with sexy guys, magic, humor, and a chinese crested named Prince Charming. Than this is the one for you.

Strangers

Strangers Strangers by Barbara Elsborg

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I read this book in one sitting, I couldn't put it down, I shouldn't have started it at 10pm! This book literally had me choked up, tears running down my face, gasping, the whole ten yards. When it was over I was like NOOOOOOOO and than I turned the page to the epilogue and was like YESSSSSS! This is NOT a happy happy book, it's really emotional and intense (with lot's of sex). I recommend this book! I don't know if I could read it again because it was just so emotional!

Mine

MineMine by Brenda Huber

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book was actually really good! I read it because I'm on a rock star kick, this failed to meet those expectations. I mean, yes technically Cole is a singer in a rock band, but it's more of a side note, it's definitely not a main point in the story, no tours, no concerts, no press, nothing.

However, while this was an awful rock star romance, it was an awesome paranormal romance story!

Cole was soooo sexy, and Alex was really sweet. She had cajones, but was also vulnerable, she had a great personality. The other members of the band (namely Styx) were cool too.

I highly, highly recommend this one! :)

Any Way You Want it

Any Way You Want ItAny Way You Want It by Kathy Love

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This book was OK. I definitely didn't feel the connection between Maggie and Ren. It wasn't really believable, the 2 of them together. The whole thing had this sort of air of suspended disbelief, not something I particularly enjoy when the plot doesn't measure up...and to be honest, I'm not even sure there was much of a plot, I mean, I guess there was one, there has to be one for a book right? It just wasn't much of one.

I didn't give it 1 star because it wasn't awful . It was just...OK.

It Had to be You

It Had to Be You (Chicago Stars, #1)It Had to Be You by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I loved this book! It was great! Phoebe and Dan had such great chemistry! This book was feel good, but still had some drama. There were lot's of laughing and snorting and still tense moments. I really enjoyed reading it, it was really cute! :)

The Perfect Play

The Perfect Play (Play by Play, #1)The Perfect Play by Jaci Burton

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I felt like the first half of the book was filled with football references to every day life,and the whole book was filled with copious amounts of sex.

I actually liked this one OK minus the football references in the beginning, and allll the sex. I felt like the football references were overkill, we get that he's a football player ok? There's no reason to beat us over the head with it. Also all the sex, it was like they couldn't be within 15 ft of each other without needing sex, that's a LOT of sex, and it really wasn't needed.

I did like this book.

Animal Magnetism

Animal MagnetismAnimal Magnetism by Jill Shalvis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book was so freaking adorable! Y'all should give it a shot because it had me laughing out loud and highlighting lines like crazy on my kindle. One of my favorite phrases is one that the women use when displeased with the men, they call them "p*nis-carrying humans"

The plot was great, Brady was uber-sexy and I really liked Lilah, she was strong, and NOT one of those heroine who's all "yea, we'll keep this super casual....5 min later....i love you! let's get married!" She actually did her damnedest to keep things casual because she thought that's what Brady wanted.

This book had me rolling in the aisles, grinning like a fool, and going 'awwwwwww' a lot. If you're looking for a happy, feel-good, smiley book with super cute animals...this is the one for you! :)

Assassin's Honor

Assassin's Honor (Order of the Sicari, #1)Assassin's Honor by Monica Burns

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


So you get 2 super secret psychic societies, a sexy archaeologist, a missing artifact, sex, cryptic warnings, etc. etc. Anyone else getting Indiana Jones vibes? Me too...at first, but really they're not related.

Ares (yes that's really his name) was sooo sexy, dark, brooding, dangerous, mysterious...at first, but than he had to ruin it by getting feelings . Now don't get me wrong, feelings are great, but not when it turns the man into a sap. I mean, once the feelings came into it, the dark, brooding, dangerous etc etc. pretty much disappeared.

Emma was a great heroine, really relatable and very stubborn, which means you start feeling bad for Ares at some point.

Of course there's the necessary life or death situations, the misunderstandings (aLOT of those) the whole nine yards.

All that being said, it is worth a read, and I really did enjoy it.

Blood Challenge: World of the Lupi bk 7

Blood Challenge (World of the Lupi, #7)Blood Challenge by Eileen Wilks

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really like this series, but I'm starting to get nervous. The thing I like about the series is that Lily is normal people, well, she may not BE normal people but she ACTS like normal people. She's not all powerful, no one in the series is. However...this book started to have some hints that make me nervous. Hints that maybe this series will go the way of Anita Blake. The next book will either bear that out, or prove me wrong. These are just faint hints, but enough to make me nervous. There was a reason I stopped reading Anita Blake, and I hope that doesn't happen here.

Deadlock: Southern Arcana bk 3

Deadlock (Southern Arcana, #3)Deadlock by Moira Rogers

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I loved this book! Alec and Carmen were so perfect for each other, you could really feel how they felt about each other. The plot was really good, the power structure was very unique. This book kept me up long past the time I should have been in bed. It was very enjoyable to read and I wasn't aware of time passing. Highly recommended.


P.s. I hope someone puts Diego in his place and gives him the a**whooping he so richly deserves.

Sinners on Tour: Backstage Pass

Backstage Pass (Sinners on Tour, #1)Backstage Pass by Olivia Cunning

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Whoa! This book was majorly awesome! I was hemming and hawing about it for a couple months, but I finally caved, and boy am I glad I did! The back makes it seem like she has like copious amounts of sex...with everyone. She doesn't, so that was good! There was a lot of sex, but it didn't seem extraneous, it fit in with the story and worked. This book was also like hella long, which I love. The plot was great! The whole band was awesome. All of the characters were fully fledged, and you really care about them. I love all the members of the band. I can't wait to read the next one, hopefully there will be more Myrna and Brian. I'm really really interested to see how the author redeems Jessica...since everyone pretty much hates her guts like whoa!

Blood of the Rose

Blood of the Rose (The Tudor Vampire Chronicles, #2)Blood of the Rose by Kate Pearce

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It sucked me in from the first page, and spat me out at the last one. This book was just as wonderful as the first one! I love Christopher and Rosalind, they're so wonderful together. I loved the little tidbit of their life at the end and can only hope we get more glimpses in the next book. I highly recommend this series.

What Mattered Most

What Mattered MostWhat Mattered Most by Linda Winfree

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book was sooooo angsty, but perfect! The bodily harm/injury and threat of death portion that's a part of every romantic suspense book was done in the first 3rd of the book. The rest of the book was all about forgiveness, and their relationship with each other and their son. This book was so good, but is definitely not light-hearted. You start out on Lanie's side totally, but eventually you start to feel bad for John and by the time the book ends you're sooo happy. I highly recommend this book. It was great!
