Book Review – Providence by Jamie McGuire

By 4 Comments

Providence
A paranormal romance book that gave me quite a few palpitations! It certainly didn’t lack in the love triangle angst that I love so much. I had moments of absolute desperation for the heroine, felt her heartache and her confusion. I couldn’t help but fluctuate between what “team” I was on, in this one, because both “heroes” were so worthy of my love.. I mean Nina’s love 😉 .

Nina is from a wealthy family. Her father is the CEO of his own huge corporation, having much power and respect. Despite his powerful position in life, he adores and dotes on his daughter Nina, and she adores him back. A car crash however, ends his life, and her world turns upside down. Not only is she having to deal with her incredible grief over his loss and her emotionally distant mother, she soon realizes that she didn’t really know her father at all. read more

Book Review – Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens

Thoughtless
I found it!!! I founnnnnnd it!! Another one that had me clutching my heart like Travis did. Heh. Some of you guys are trying to kill me… and I loved every sleepless moment of it. What a completely absorbing rock star recommendation you had for me, this time.

It usually takes me a day or two to come down from a book, so I can review it properly. But this one has me all twisted inside, and I need to deal with it now. And you know what? There’s a part TWO!! Guess what I’ll be reading all weekend? The only way to do that, without guilt, is to get this one off my chest now. There’s a lump in my throat, and it’s been there for three days straight. It kinda hurts. read more

Book Review – Love Unscripted by Tina Reber

Love Unscripted
I’m “wow’ing” again!! I loved this book. It even took me a day or two to get over it. And again, I ummm… may have overreacted a little. Tee hee. I was reeling, but I’m thrilled that I had yet another *reading freak-out* moment, that had me on the edge of my seat. I LOVE when that happens. It means I was right there, with the characters. It means I’m invested in their story, their well being, their lives.

I already had this book in my TBR list, when I saw how many great reviews it was getting. I was also encouraged directly when I started receiving emails by those knowing I love the whole “rock star” type story, recommending this one. read more

Book Review – Sweet as Sin by Inez Kelley

Sweet as Sin
This book truly is exactly as titled, sweet, but sinfully so. Very romantic. No wait. Considering the kind of hero you’re in for, I’m taking that back. Doesn’t fit. Hes really not *that* kind of guy. Let’s go with passionate, fiery, and smoldering. Yup. Perfect. And also, at a certain point, very angsty (ooooh he made me mad!!  😡 ), but just enough so that I didn’t want to put it down.

John Murphy, a slightly arrogant, confident, and somewhat indifferent bad-boy type, just moved in next door to “Livvy”. She is just his type, so he manages to put himself in her path on a regular basis, tempting her to come out and play. Of course, it’s just for “fun” and nothing more. read more

Book Review – For all the Right Reasons by Ann Lister

For All The Right Reasons
Don’t let the tame book cover fool you. There are rock stars in this book. 😎 Here is another “Ann Lister” rock star story that had me up all night reading (like her first book “Sheet Music” – and this one eventually ties into it). A few of you told me you really enjoyed her first one, so I thought I’d give you an update on how the second one compares. You guessed it! Overall, I loved it.

Again, I was exasperated with the characters (she’s really good at making me mad at them). The story had me wound up tight, held me captive, and it would have almost made my “favorites” list if it weren’t for something the heroine did, that to me, was absolutely unforgivable. Sure, it made for even more drama and angst, but in real life, would have had consequences that could never be taken back. What’d she do? Nuh uh. My lips are sealed. read more
