Book Review – Method by Kate Stewart

By 8 Comments

METHOD
<— A totally unique look into a Hollywood romance story, with the delightfully-dreaded “in love with an actor” angst, fears, and drama that comes with being the “normal” wife of a movie star. Oh yes. There’s plenty there, but… it just goes a little further than that. A little deeper.

Plus, it’s from one of my absolute favorite authors (that tends to fully explore downward spirals and human mistakes and consequences of actions – comfort levels be damned – she tends to goes there!!), and with all of the love for it, I went in with GUSTO rubbing my hands together with glee!! read more

Book Review – Someone Else’s Ocean by Kate Stewart

Someone Else’s Ocean
Kate Stewart’s latest JUST WENT LIVE and I had the pleasure of reading an early copy over the weekend!!
It was gentler on us than some of her past super-angsty books that had us in a frenzy, but it sure had it’s share of pull-pull, kindle-throwing moments, and of course… a seriously angsty moment that had my heart in my throat.

So what’s it about?

Koti has been living life on an island renting beautiful vacation houses to tourists, and loving her uncomplicated, and very single life. Having run from her high stress, demanding world, she’s finally found a semblance of peace living on the beach, and helping make visitors happy… even if for just a few weeks. That is, until Ian (her childhood friend that she hasn’t seen in ages) shows up in the vacation home right next door to hers, kicking up a storm. read more

Kate Stewart – Balls in Play Series Reading Order

By 3 Comments

BASEBALL STAR ROMANCE ALERT!! SQUEEE!!!! I’m a HUGE fan of this author, and Nay found out that book #3 in this series just went live. 😀 I read #1 and enjoyed it (in fact, here’s my book review), so I just HAD to post this series reading order – now that it is a series (although they CAN be read as standalones).
While I’m actually hooked on this author tearing my heart out with her more-angsty love stories, this one is a fun and lighthearted romance read.

Nay: …her 3rd book in the Balls in Play series, a novella titled Sweeping the Series, came out last week, and the first two books in the series are currently on sale. They’ve been on sale since 3/26, so I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to last. I think I need to read this series! …I want to eventually read every one of her books because her writing is just so awesome. read more

Author Confession – Kate Stewart confesses a few of her author "quirks"

By 10 Comments

We’re doing this post a little differently, ’cause instead of a reader confession, I have an author that gives us a confession. Actually… TWO confessions. 😉 I love when we get to “know” an author a little better, and THIS author is one of my all-time favorites. I’ve loved everything I’ve read from her (and I’ll include links to all of my reviews of her books). YAY KATE STEWART!!!

Okay so about these confessions. One is fun, and one is *ahem* extra fun. *waggles eyebrows* 😛 read more

Behind the Books – An interview with author Kate Stewart

By 7 Comments

<— Drive is one of my latest favorite books ever, and now we get a behind the scenes look into the very book that had us on the edge of our seats, with butterflies in our stomachs, our heart in our throats, and tears in our eyes. And you know what? I absolutely LOVE this author (and have loved her since I read her equally angsty Room 212 – Thank you, Amy!!!!! Oh yes, it’s my book twin that introduced me to this author’s brand of romance).

You guys… she rocks my world, and I just LOVED getting to know this side of her through this interview.
And now you get to, too. 🙂 read more
