TEXT ME by Rein Bevan

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 Greyson at work to them going to the office party in what seemed like a day or two.

I understand that this book is a novella and that it's supposed to be short, but it was too short and too quick for my liking. The romance just did not do it for me, even with Ericka being the cute and sweet person that she was.

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.

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 ...
