Swans Book Review

I had this book on my Kindle app for the longest while, waiting for when I have time between work or school to start it, and I completely forgot about it. Forgive me  +Karen Hawkins . Alisa MacKenzie has a problem. The problem is not that her father has put her in charge of the castle, the problem lies with gaining the trust of the people who work on it. Men do not take kindly to taking orders from a woman, and Alisa has to work hard in order to gain their favour so that they will not be against listening to her. She has reached a long way in gaining their trust until something goes horribly wrong. Natasha Romanovin a Russian Duchess and grandmother to the crown prince have been kidnapped along with a neighbour of theirs. Now Alisa must prove to her staff that she is the right person to lead them by getting back the prisoners as soon as possible and try not to start a clan war in the process. Everything was going as planned until Prince Nikolai comes to her home, dis

This was a really emotionally book where I sympathised with the male main character rather than the female.  She had no right to put all the blame on Hawke for something she decided on. Hawke has it going on. He is the defenceman for the Cold Fury Ice Hockey Team and when he's off the ice, there is nothing holding him back from partying and having a good time. Nothing can mess with him.  Except something did and it's in the form of his ex-girlfriend, Vale Campell, walking back into life after she dumped him. Vale Campell is a complicated girl and I did not like her.  She removed almost all the blame from her and Hawke's breakup from herself.  Who does that? It was Vale's idea to break up with Hawke, he even came after her, all for nought.  Then some months later, she decides to contact him and when he does not respond, she blames him for not loving her and walking away from their relationship. I mean really, really Vale.  Men are not like women.  They

This was a very nice novella that will make you have a warm fuzzy feeling throughout your body. Bianca Charleston was the fat kid in her high school. The one no one noticed, the wallflower.   Now things have changed, she's changed and Bianca has transformed herself into a bombshell.  But even with her new transformation, Bianca has not been back to her hometown. That is until her best friend begs her to come back home to help with the town's annual hospital carnival.  It does not hurt that she would be working close with her high school crush, Cole Johnson. Cole is a busy F.B.I agent who barely has time for himself at the send of the day.  So when Bianca walked into his life, he found himself finding holes in his schedule in order to make time for her. This book is quite unique.  It has no conflict in the book.  None at all, yet this book was very enjoyable.  Bianca and Cole clicked from the moment they met.  The only problem is, Bianca vividly remembers C

This story was a miracle in the making.  I have no idea how Julia London made two of the most opposite people ever, come together so smoothly and perfectly. Mia Lassiter had a blow to not only her art but also to her self-esteem. I have no idea how she was able to move after that rejection, but she did, all the way back home to her parents. Feeling humiliated and defeated, Mia returns home to help her aunt with her interior design business and came face to face with a Rock Star, the only thing is, she may be the only one in the world who have not recognised who he was. Everett Alden, known to the world as Brennan is a world famous rock star that walked away from it all in order to grieve and maybe get his music mojo back. The last thing he expected was for his peace and quiet vacation to be interrupted by his mother remodelling the house. Tired from the turmoil of his life as well as his mother, Everett strives to drown himself in alcohol to numb his pain.  All it to

I did not expect to meet Hud's other half so quickly in the series. Jacob has been missing for so many years, it was quite a shock to read his story so quickly. Jacob Kincaid has finally come home to Cedar Ridge.  Well at least for a few weeks.  After an overseas mission goes wrong, Jacob finds that it's important to reconnect with his family, especially his twin brother Hud. Jacob walked away from his family years ago and did not keep in contact with anyone, except one person. Now that Jacob is back, he knew that it was going to be hard to get back in everyone's good graces, he just did not know how hard he had to work for it.  Sophie Marren is living on a boat, which would be cool if she did not get seasick in a bathtub.  The only reason she lives on a boat is because she divorced from her husband and taking his prized possession in the settlement seemed like the best revenge, that is until she was forced to live in it.  Now she needs a place to anchor her

This is not the type of book that I tend to gravitate too.  If this book was not part of the Wicked Horse Series, I would not have even picked it up, but I'm glad I got to experience something new and like it.  Rand Bishop is an Olympic Champion who had his dreams shattered years ago.  Amazingly, he was able to put the past behind him and move on with his life.  Especially when he landed the sweet job of being a fantasy maker at the Silo. Catherine, on the other hand, has always been dealt the worst hand in life, and it seemed to have gotten worse.  Her husband died and supposedly left nothing for her.  Now she's living in her car in the parking lot of the Silo, lost as to what to do with herself. Lucky for Catherine, Rand takes her in and gives her his place to stay for a while until she figures out what to do.  Thus a unique romance was born. This is my first time reading a book like this and I was pleasantly surprised. Rand and Catherine was a very weird pair

This story was cute but not very believable.  In this day and age, who in the world is going to put their phone number in a newspaper to acquire a "fake date". Ericka was dumped via text by her boyfriend.  Now he's her boss and Ericka wants to go to the office Christmas party with a date to hide that she still has feelings for Greyson, her ex. Grayson, on the other hand, broke up with Ericka for one of the most ridiculous reasons I have ever heard of.  Right after he did it, however, he realised his mistake and wanted her back. I mean seriously.  This story was jammed packed with so many cliches and it was obvious which direction the book was going and how it was going to end. This book brought nothing new to the romance world and the ending was not a satisfactory one. The pace of all the events in the book was moving so quickly that you can barely enjoy the romance that was blooming between Ericka and Greyson.  It turned from Ericka trying to ignore Gr
