WIN ME OVER by Nicole Michaels

This is my first book by +Nicole Michaels and the book was entertaining, but to me, it was not all that great. Some of the problems in the book were not believable to me, but weirdly, I still had fun reading.

Callie Daniels is a triple threat. She owns and operates her own Bakery, contributes to a popular lifestyle blog and she is the new dance coach at the local high school.

She believes that you have to work hard in order to get what you want, and has thrown herself head first into her work, leaving no time for dating.

Bennett Clark is the football coach of the town's football team and believes in playing by the rules. When he got his first glimpse of the dance instructor, it blew his mind.  But Bennett learned his lesson about love the hard way and wants nothing to do with the sexy teacher.

That is, until some sneaky manipulation on the principal part has them as partners in a charity dance competition.  And that's all she wrote.

I was confused by the chemistry between Bennett and Callie.  They had the heat, but I was not feeling it.  I still don't understand the reason why Callie turned Bennett down when he first kissed her.  I understand that she does not approve of her mother being a stay-at-home mom, but she admitted to liking Bennett.  I don't understand why she did it.

Logically, when you shoot a man down, he won't want to see you again, but because of the dance competition, they still have to work together, and they did, just not with the fun flirting that they did before and Callie was frustrated with that.

I mean, HELLO! You basically rejected Bennett's affection and expect him to act like everything's normal? I don't think so. Apparently this type of behavior was going on for a few days, but it felt like only one day past before Callie had enough and went after Bennett.

The book was going along okay when BAM, a new drama emerge in the form of one of their friends running from a man.  Quite frankly, I wished Bennett's and Callie's love story was over to see what happens with her fiend, but alas it was not meant to be.  I'm looking forward to that story.

I liked the book, but it was nothing to really feel excited about, especially the part where Bennett made something, that has nothing to do with him, and made it all about himself. As a result he holed up in his house by himself when Callie was out their actually doing something meaningful and worth while.

Bennett got me so mad at the end of the book and the way he got her back, I don't like it.  It was too easy and not much talking was done.  You'll see what I mean when you read the book.


HAPPY READING!

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

Every morning she is awakened by sexual dreams that include whatever is being made in the bakery each morning.  Her dreams o...

THE HIGHLAND HENCHMAN by Amy Jarecki

After reading "The Angel and the Warrior" I really needed a book to pick me up and I am so glad that this book did just the trick.  The only thing that irked me was that the heroine in this book upset me greatly. Needing royal assistance, Baron Ross issued a tournament to enchant the Highlanders to leave their land and come to the Lowlands to take part.  What he really wanted was for the Highlanders to fight a dangerous battle that would get most of them killed. After the tournament the Highland Lairds choose instead to entrust their best warriors to stay and fight. This was not exactly what Baron Ross wanted but he knew that he could not change their mind so he accepted. Bran MacLeod was one of the warriors that was left behind, and even though he did not like it, he knew that he can never go against his Laird.  It did not help matters that their was a dangerous instant attraction between him and the baron's last daughter.  Bran knows that getting involved ...
