Rock Star’s Girl (A Hollywood Dating Story Book 1)
Another amazing deal!!! A bargain priced e-book find that literally rocked my world. Okay, granted. Not “rocked my world” as in what’s on my latest “favorites” list, but it rocked me nonetheless. Definitely worth the read. Fun, tumultuous and shocking (oh yes! There’s even an “it’s not you, it’s me” moment… or two). I was aghast!! Offended!! Flabbergasted. Heartbroken… and as a reader… excited to be all of those things!

Book Review – Sexiest Vampire Alive by Kerrelyn Sparks
Sexiest Vampire Alive (Love at Stake)
Cute, cute, cute!!! Loved it, but in a sweet, going-back-to-my-old-school-reading sort of way. Nice and familiar and cuddly. All of the love at first site attraction, the corny come-ons, the intense seduction, and the “I can’t love him cause he’s a vampire” stuff. But sometimes that kind of fluffy reading really refreshes a person. You know, the whole “too much of one thing” and all that. Makes one jaded. I found myself eye rolling more than sighing after too many paranormal romance “candies” in a row. But in spurts, it was just what I needed. After all of my recent (and delicious) dark reads, I needed something that didn’t freak me out too bad. Might even make my next dark drama even more agonizing. Like cleansing the palette 😉
Susan Krinard – 1920’s Vampires/Werewolf Trilogy Series Reading Order
As per the author:
“Set during the Roaring Twenties… A new vampire/werewolf trilogy”
“… Chasing Midnight, my first foray into vampires and also into the 1920’s, an era I fell in love with after watching the movie Chicago. This book has garnered a starred review from Booklist, and it’s one I’m quite proud of. At least two more books in this series, variously featuring vampire or werewolf protagonists… “

Book Review – Please Don’t Stop the Music by Jane Lovering
Please Don’t Stop the Music
Thank you Jennifer for this AWESOME recommendation! Another WOW book for me! I simply… LOVED it. I totally lucked out. How can that be? How can something this interesting, well rounded, heartfelt and heart wrenching be bargain priced?
I “pre-reviewed” it on on my Facebook page (I couldn’t help it!), and it looks like I’m not alone in my enthusiasm for it:
Maryse’s Book Blog: I’m reading a really good book right now. It’s witty and fast, and just good writing, but it took me a bit to catch the writing style (it takes place in England). Kind of reminds me (writing-wise) of Flat-Out Love & How to Kill a Rock Star. This too, has an angsty ex-rock star (and boy did the “reveal” surprise me!!) Very worthy of angst. LOVE this character. Overall well-rounded, excellent read. Not off the charts in romance (although there IS that), but just plain good anyway.

About book #1
“Set in modern times…
Through with running from the past, Joelle Randall has come to the rugged Canadian Rockies determined to face her pain and begin anew. All she needs is a guide to lead her through the untamed mountain wilderness to the site where her parents’ plane crashed long ago. But the only guide Joelle can find is Luke Gévaudan, a magnetically attractive loner with the feral grace of a wolf and eyes that glitter with a savage intensity. She has no idea that Luke is the stuff of legends, one of the last survivors of an ancient race of werewolves, a man whose passion she will not be able to resist—no matter how terrible the price.”
