A MILLION LITTLE THING by Susan Mallery

I love going to Mischief Bay and meeting all the girls again and meeting new ones along the way. Plus we get to see a new side of Pam that gives me second thoughts about her. This book focuses on Zoe, Jen and Pam. Zoe works from home and incident that had her trapped in her attic with her hungry cat made her come to the realization that she is completely alone. Jen is the daughter of Pam and recently turned a mother herself.  Jen finds herself constantly obsessing over her son and the things that can harm him. We all know Pam (if you've read the series from the beginning ). We've been with her when she wanted to get her groove back and through the loss of her husband.  Nguy. Watch as these ladies discover a new side of themselves that they never knew existed in their fun new adventures in Mischief Bay. This book was an eye opener to a side of Pam I never knew existed. But before I get into Pam's story let's talk about the first woman we were introduced to ...

VIRTUAL TOUR REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY for Crazy for You

It's always fun when friends turn into lovers, but what happens when honorary family members fall in love?  This is the year for Emma Rush.  She's tired of being safe and wants to shake up her routine by trying new and daring things.  She started her experience off by taking part an obstacle course and even though she did not win, she still had a blast doing it. Now Emma wants something more, something that she has been reading about for years in books. Emma wants to have a fiery passion love affair with a guy.  And not just any guys, she wants a bad boy, she wants Ryan Blake. Ryan Blake understands lost.  He lost his mother, brother and best friend in only a couple of years and losing Emma would be too much to handle. Ryan sees the way she looks at him, and he's determined not to go there with Emma, especially since she deserves a guy who is not a screw-up like him.  Plus, there's also the promise Ryan made to Emma's brother about not ...

FRIDAY NIGHT BRIDES by Samantha Chase

I adored this book. It was so insightful and fun to read. It covers four different types of people and the struggle they go through in life and how they overcame it. It's was just plain beautiful to read. This is a touching story of four friends, Hailey, Becca, Angie and Ella, and how modelling for Enchanted Bridal was a big part of their lives as well as their friendship. These four friends are about the have their lives turned upside down and I just grabbed my popcorn and went along for the ride. The four friends all had their own problems to go through. From learning to love your body, catching Mr Perfect, getting married and forgiveness. I was not sure that I would totally like this book and I was correct in my assumption. Instead, I loved it. I adored all the stories but Ella's story had me entertained the most. Ella's story was the most unusual yet heart breaking with the emotion behind it. I actually thought that it was not going to work out but it...

BEST OF MY LOVE by Susan Mallery

Where travel back to Fool's Gold once again, and this is one town I have not gotten enough of. This is an intriguing story about friendship and love.  Shelly Gilmore chose Aiden Mitchell to be her male friend for three months to get over her fear of men. After living with a father who was abusive towards her mother and herself, and seeing her mother stay and take the abuse has given Shelly a warped idea of what a relationship was supposed to be like. Aiden has given up women after having an altercation between himself and one of his past hookups.  Aiden was devastated that he could not remember the woman's name.  This had him evaluating how he sees women and to understand exactly when he became the one night hook up guy. This experiment that Shelly has come up with will help them both explore the opposite sex without the pressure of feelings or sex.  Aiden was quite happy to help Shelly since he would also be helping himself in the lon...

NEED YOU FOR MINE by Marina Adair

Wow, this book was just wow. Harper Owens is everyone's friend.  She's bright, bubbly and has the sweetest smile.  Harper sometimes despises that about herself, especially when it comes to finding a date.  I remember the lingerie shop, The Boulder Holder from the other books in the series and it always made me laugh.  It's run by Harper's grandmother who is not against ladies getting a little kinky for their man. So it was a very pleasant surprise to find the lingerie store the centre of the story. The Boulder Holder is on the brink of going out of business and in order to save it, Harper has to convince their main contributor that the store can cater to a younger crowd. The only problem is that most customers of the Boulder Holder are 60 years and up.  Harper needs help and fast, and help comes in the shape of the only man in town who she never befriended, Adam Baudouin. Adam is a bit of a situation.  He is St. Helena's very own p...

RETURN OF THE HIGHLAND LAIRD by Amy Jarecki

Follow my blog with Bloglovin This book was different from the others in the series, and it was nice to see that it was different in a good way. Lady Jane has been dealt an unfair mark in her life.  Wanted for killing her husband, she had no choice but to flee and hide herself from sight.  With only the help from an elderly gentleman, Lady Jane is forced to fend for herself away from civilization, until her name is cleared or forgotten. All that changed when a huge, hunk of a man stumbles into her cottages, during a storm.  Before she could even say a thing, he collapsed on the floor. Seeing that he wore a plaid, she knew that he was an Highlander, but seeing as he was very large, and she very little, there was nothing much she can do with him. So she armed herself and waited for him to wake. Laird Alexander has lost his pride and his wife. Blaming himself for her death, he takes a foolish risk and goes sailing without a crew, trying to outrun his demons. Wh...

THE IDEAL MAN by Julie Garwood

What is your ideal man?  ls he tall or short? Dark and mysterious or fair and courteous?  There is an ideal man for each of us, and no matter how much we fantasize, when we find him, he's nothing like what we expect. This seem the case for Dr. Ellie Sullivan, she was a few hours away from finally being free of the stressful job of being a surgery fellowship at St. Vincent's Hospital in St. Louis when all hell broke loose. A few hours away from finally taking a break from school and work, she wants to take time to figure out what it is exactly she would like to do with her life, but as faith would have it, plans have a way of being screwed up. Ellie's plans were cut up into many little pieces and thrown away when she witnessed a murder right in front of her eyes. Well, an almost murder, since she was able to pull the bullet out of the shot man and now's he fit as a fiddle. Now that Ellie has completed her work, she plans to go to her parents home to attend her ...

COMPLETE by Lindy Zart

Complete is the second and last book of Lindy Zart book "Incomplete" starring Greyson Lee and his best friend Lilly.  Except for this time we are reading from Lilly's point of view. When we last saw these two love birds, Lilly made the ultimate sacrifice so that Greyson can achieve his dream and she told him "I'll wait forever for you Greyson" and I believed her. I was so excited when I started to read Complete, thinking that it would have less angst than in the first book, but boy was I mistaken. Lilly have given up, all the spunk and fearlessness she once possess in the first book completely disappeared in this one and she has also lost my respect. I has been two years since Lilly split with Greyson and still she would not pick up the phone and call him, thinking to herself that he was over her, since he was dating multiply women, totally disregarding that he has a tattoo of a Lilly over his heart and her name tattooed on his knuckles. Lilly j...

TO SCOTLAND WITH LOVE by Karen Hawkins

This book come after "How to abduct a Highland Lord" which was awesome.  The good thing about this series is that you can read each book on it's own, BUT to enhance the reading experience, read all the books, in the correct order of course. Being friend since one has been five and another eight, means that you have a very good friendship, especially when you seek each other's company everyday.  You know all there secret and you theirs and you talk about each and everything that you can think of. Well that friendship changed when Venetia Oglivie, has eloped, without even knowing that she was eloping.  Being of a kind heart, when Venetia heard the news that her mother was not well, she immediately went to her rescue, like she always does, not fully understanding the consequences of riding in a closed carriage with a man, who is not a part of her family. Lord Gregor MacLean, having heard the news when Venetia failed to arrive for their daily morning ride, at onc...

ALWAYS ON MY MIND by Jill Shalvis

Leah Sullivan is a perfectionist who surprisingly never finishes anything and runs away from her problems; which is really weird since perfectionist always want to achieve everything they set out to do and drive their family and friends crazy with their OCDness.  Jack Harper is a hard working firefighter who finds himself cast in his deceased father shadow, always feeling like he has to work harder and go down in a blaze of glory, just like his dad did.  Seeing his mother fall apart after his dad’s death, Jack swore never to get involved in any series relationships to avoid the emotional pain his job can and will cause. Jack and Leah have been friends since childhood and they come up with this plot of pretending that they are in a relationship to make his mother feel better and to stop worrying about Jack and just focusing on getting better , but the plot came a little too serious for the both of them to handle. They tried starting a relationship in the past bu...
