Book Review – Reflected In You by Sylvia Day

By 41 Comments

Reflected in You: Book #2 in the Crossfire Series (see my review for book#1 – Bared To You, if you haven’t read this yet. I recommend THIS series as the perfect read after Fifty Shades of Grey. Or just… the perfect read. 😉

Finally!!! It feels like I’ve been waiting ages for this and the day finally came! Annnnnd…. went. *sigh* Yes. I devoured this one practically in one overnight sitting and I have a feeling I read it way too fast. I couldn’t help myself. I gorged on Gideon! I was a Gideon glutton. *blush* (too much?) Tee hee! read more

Book Review – The Sea Of Tranquility by Katja Millay

The Sea of Tranquility
This one is easily going to be one of my favorites this year. And I mean TOP favorites. A subdued and somber story but with a great measure of warmth that took my breath away. I was absolutely and personally touched by the time I reached the end. Every part of me was wholeheartedly invested in these complex characters, and even the “normal” moments, and the facetious characters brought a certain depth to the story as a whole. It was… profound. The heartache tangible (and unimaginable) and yet… so real. read more

Book Review – Down To You by M. Leighton

Down to You (A Bad Boys Novel Book 1)
I fell in book-love a couple of nights ago. Yep! I know. 😉 Again! But but!!! This one was unavoidable. I know so many of y’all are totally gonna love it. PLUS! It was TWO book heroes for the price of one and I hearted them both equally! Ohhh yes, I know… a lot of out books are “two” for the price of one, but this one had a little something extra. And usually, I tend to pick a “team”, right from the start in books, but this one was tough. Now I dunno if my love for them will stand the test of time when future potential book-loves come into play. After all, I only have about 5 or 6 true book-loves that can’t be toppled. I know…  “only” rolleyes hehe. read more

Book Review – Risking It All by Jennifer Schmidt

Risking It All
Really good read that might have had me even more enthusiastic had I not been pouting at the price I paid for it. I mean, of course the price doesn’t make or break an excellent story, but… you know. It has to be excellent. I have to be pretty floored by it, to not blink at a significantly higher ebook price.

This one was… really good, and when a story is good, it’s so much easier to adamantly recommend when the cost isn’t so steep. Was it worth the price? Hrmmm… I dunno. Sorta. After all, I DID like it, and at times I felt like I was loving it (Memphis… the ultra-sexy alpha male absolutely had me). But while I found myself personally involved with this angsty love triangle, this book wasn’t an absolute stand-out for me. I’ve read this before… in one way or another (even if this one was a good version of it). There is no denying that I was emotionally connected. At times… I. WAS. MELTING! At others… I was exasperated. And then… hurting. read more
