Following my heart, one book at a time...
About book #1:
“A sexy paranormal debut–from a fresh new voice in erotic romance. The next target of a time traveling killer, crime reporter Jane Colby finds herself in the hands of a warlord from the future sent to protect her–and in his hands is just where she wants to be.”
A Discovery of Witches: A Novel
This book has me confounded in regards to my stance on the whole thing. Did I like it? Love it? Sometimes both. The book is extremely descriptive. Every smell, sight and memory comes alive with consistent colorful and rich detail. But sometimes (okay, I admit… a lot) it bored me. I’d start fidgeting, and my attention would wane, and I’d be anxious to get back to the stuff that settles me into that awesome slow motion reading I love to do. You know, when the book is so good, it’s almost as if you start reading in slow motion, absorbing every detail, living every moment,heart pounding (in love or in fear). That’s when I know I’m into a book.
A Discovery of Witches: A Novel
I am loving this. It’s true. I think I’m finally there at only 30-something percent in. But.
I wasn’t at first. Nope. Not. At. All. The first ohhh… 20% of the book is both interesting and dull at the exact same time. The story is being set up, the characters are trying to come to life, but I wasn’t feeling a thing but distracted.
I was all… “OMG, please everyone stop taaaalking around me, I can’t concentrate.”

To Tame a Highland Warrior (Highlander Book 2)
Grimm. I need to make an apology. I adored you. Even though it’s been said that Hawk was the most gorgeous male in in the land, and that despite your lavish attractiveness, you didn’t compare to him, after your book, I beg to differ. I nearly fainted with from the over-intensity of your “floor/break the table” scene and yet, I walked away without a comment.
As I chatted with Lily yesterday, I said:
“I have to write Grimm’s review – I suck – I LOVED his book.”
