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” 
hehe.
My Book Reviews
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.
My Top Five Summer Reads – 2012
Well, summer is officially over. As of today. The first day of fall. And my husband is already starting to get excited about Christmas. Yep! Do you remember me mentioning his Christmas addiction last year? And the year before that? He comes up often in my posts nearing that time of the year, and he’s already starting up. I posted his first “Christmas *squee*” a few days ago on Facebook:
“I was watching the Hallmark channel and just saw a “Countdown to Christmas” commercial advertising their upcoming Christmas movies.
Book Review – The Devil’s Metal by Karina Halle
The Devil’s Metal (Devils)
ROCK STAR BOOK!!!! The whole tour, groupies, backstage access and everything. Okay, but wait. This is not our “usual” rock star book. You know… the BIG romance and angst thing? But it is OH sooo good anyway. Y’all know I LOVE Karina Halle and her Experiment in Terror series, and of course there’s my little “Dex” obsession. Yep. Juuuust a little obsession. *pinches two fingers together* Okay… i’ll admit it. It’s actually much bigger than that. 😉
Book Review – An Early Spring by Ann Lister
An Early Spring
Realizing how much I both enjoyed, agonized (and even grumbled a bit) over her rock star books (Sheet Music & For All The Right Reasons), the author sent me this book (no rock stars, but definitely “contemporary romance”). And I liked it! It didn’t put me in a tailspin, I didn’t completely lose my head (and heart) over it, however, it was a good read. I’d say, to me, it had an almost “traditional” contemporary romance feel. Old school romance? I don’t have much experience in the genre (except for the super-angsty bad-boy variety), but this one was certainly easier on my heart.
