Review: Plum Lucky - Janet Evanovich

  Needing a quick story to read ? Following the Stephanie Plum series ? Check out one of her In-Betweeners .............   Review: Plum Lucky - Book #13.5 Stephanie Plum Series - Janet Evanovich - January 2008 Needing a quick read ? Something light-hearted and easy to digest ? Enjoying the Stephanie Plum Series ? Plum Lucky takes us to the month of March where the world of Trenton is celebrating St. Patrick's Day and Grandma Mazur is missing and Stephanie's hunky random guy Diesel has shown up once again. I have to say firstly that Stephanie is never short of hunky guys, the only problem is that they are all labelled with that prone to non-commitment label attached. The journey to find Grandma Mazur will take Stephanie, Connie and Lula alongside Diesel to the world of Atlantic City and a casino called Daffy's. Not named after the duck but a dog. It seems that Grandma Mazur has come into a bag of "lucky" cash, the downside ...

Review: Losing It - Cora Carmack

  On the lookout for a new "New Adult" series to read ? One that has hot guys, drama and british accents all rolled into one ? Review: Losing It - Book #1 Losing It Series - Cora Carmack - October 2012 This is a series I have had sitting on my Ipad for a while now and when I recieved an ARC of Book #2 Faking It , the other day. I figured it was about time that I read the first book and I am glad I got onto it as it was enjoyable. Books like this do make me think though as we meet the main character Bliss Edwards who is twenty-two and still a virgin , she heads out one night with her friend and roommate Kelsey to get laid and it doesn't happen straightaway but she meets not one guy but two. Brandon the Bartender and Garrick- the guy who reads Shakespeare in a bar. It then goes a bit like Pretty Little Liars - think Ezra and Aria , as Garrick turns out to be Bliss's new Drama Professor for the next six months. It is in class that we meet Guy #3 Cade - her...

Review: Phoenix Rockstar - Bec Botefuhr

Image
    As it was a wet weekend here , I spent the weekend brushing up on a couple of awesome New Adult books and next on my list was Phoenix Rockstar by Bec Botefuhr - Book #1 in her series starring a hunky new Travis. Review: Phoenix Rockstar - Book #1 Biker Romance Series - Bec Botefuhr - January 2013 Another of my favourite things that I love to read about is Rock N Roll Romances , I love books and movies that contain hot musicians falling for the everyday girl. It has a Cinderella moment to it which I adore as that is my all-time favourite fairytale. In Phoenix Rockstar we enter a world that no author has dared touch before in such an awesome way , we enter the world of Biker Gangs where we meet Violet - the daughter of the Bike gang leader Caden aka Chief and Travis whose father was the previous leader. Travis has been away for four years becoming a huge rockstar and running his own record company. Four years ago, Violet was head over heels for Travis and he...

Review: Second Rate Chances by Holly Stephens

Image
  I don't know about how the majority of other readers feel , but I do know that personally for me - the catergory of "New Adult" was an awesome creation as they are all the novels that I have loved reading for years and now there is a WHOLE catergory dedicated to them. Today's one was AMAZING ..... Review: Second Rate Chances - Holly Stephens - January 2013 Firstly, I have to say I am one who really enjoys the whole amnesiac who reconnects with his past type of girl and when you add this to the whole "I AM IN LOVE WITH NA" you get a doubly excited Paula and OMG this was awesome . The prologue to this novel starts with Lil and Sam buying their first house and the last sentence was "Nothing will tear us apart" , then Chapter #1 starts with three years later and Sam is engaged to someone named Chloe and it gets the reader thinking "wait a minute, have I missed something" and yes I did turn back and re-read the prologue just...

Review: Between the Lines - Tammara Webber

  Are you a fan of Tammara Webber's novels ? Do you love Hollywood novels ? Get ready for Book #1 in her series Between The Lines..... Review: Between the Lines - Book #1 BTL Series - Tammara Webber - Originally Published April 2011 - Reprinted February 2013. Honestly when I picked up Between the Lines I had no idea what it was about. I only knew two things, A) The author Tammara Webber had written it and I quite enjoyed her as a person since we belonged to the same FB bookgroup and B) That many of my friends had read it and enjoyed it. After reading her book "Easy" and loving that I decided to tackle the first in her Between the Lines series and I have to say it could be because of my age but I enjoyed Easy a whole lot more. Though , that's not saying I didn't enjoy Between the Lines as it takes us into the lives of Hollywood actors Reid Alexander and newcomer Emma who has been chosen to star as Will Darcy and Lizbeth Bennett in a modern rendit...

Nelson - March 2013 Have you wanted to try and instill the way of Christian living on your children ? Felt the need to incorporate God's word into your daily lives ? Author and Mormon Julie K. Nelson has done her research and created a parenting guide that all Christian parents, no matter what your religion is that you should all purchase. Julie has picked some of the Bible's greatest stories from Adam and Eve to Joseph and his Twelve brothers and related them back to modern day society and what or how they can teach us to better parent our children with Joseph and his Twelve brothers teaching us all about forgiveness as remember if anyone should hold a grudge I think Joseph had the right as his brothers tore him away from his family, the ones he loved all in the name of jealousy, chucked him down a well and then sold him into slav...
