Review: Sweet Inspiration


Sweet Inspiration
Sweet Inspiration by Penny Watson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



A feel good holiday romance story. It's short, so it feels pretty rushed, which is unfortunate. I would have loved it if it were longer so things didn't feel so rushed.

Review: Kiss of a Demon King


Kiss of a Demon King
Kiss of a Demon King by Kresley Cole

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



I really hated Sabine, really, really hated her. At the halfway point I was ready to stop reading and only continued on so I could continue on in the series without being confused. Sabine was spoiled, she was selfish, she acted like a child constantly. However, the ending of the book actually redeemed the book, and gave it an extra star, because until the end of the book, I definitely didn't like it, but the ending redeemed it. Definitely my LEAST favorite book in the series so far.

Review: Archangel's Storm


Archangel's Storm
Archangel's Storm by Nalini Singh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Holy Snickerdoodles Batman! This book was fantastic. I was a little hesitant about it but I bought it because it's Nalini Singh and I love her books. The premise was intriguing but I was concerned about Jason's loyalty being divided, but no need to fret on that count! I really can't express how much I loved this book. When I finished it I started singing, swear to god, singing this: "Sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good, so good, so good, so good" I really only sang the "so good" part, but you get the idea.
We got a look into Jason that we never have before, while staying completely true to the characterization of him present in the other novels. Sometimes authors struggle with keeping characterization of secondary characters constant when they get their own books, not so with Nalini Singh.
Mahiya was sweet, just completely sweet, there were no negative character traits for her at all. She acted with kindness and poise to everyone and everything.
Watching them become, well, them was great. They were both protecting themselves with shields of steel, but they each managed to slither their way in until they were indelibly entwined. I loved how Mahiya didn't push for what Jason felt he couldn't give her, she never through a fit because he told her he couldn't love her, never demanded anything from him. Everything he was, was perfect for her.
I also loved the brief insights in to Honor and Dmitri's new life, it was wonderfully written , I love seeing them together.

This book was fantastic, 5 out of 5 stars no question.

Review: Hell on Wheels


Hell on Wheels
Hell on Wheels by Julie Ann Walker

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I really enjoyed this book. The characters seemed, real. Their personalities were ones you'd meet on the street. Ali was really funny and sweet, I definitely enjoyed reading about her and Nate. The rest of the guys were really cool. You could feel their pain and emotions, the writing was really evocative.
