Swans Book Review

This book has me using all my training of watching C.S.I on television for many years, and yet, even with all my training, I did not see that conclusion coming. Maisey Lazarow is finally going home after ten long years, to recuperate after a messy and painful divorce.  As the boat approaches Fairham, the small island that she grew up on, Maisey remembers why she left in the face place and wishes that she could flee. But remembering that she needs a place to heal and a brother in desperate need of her help, Maisey forces herself to calm down, besides, where exactly can she go when she is stuck on the boat. When she arrives on the island she saw that her brother was there waiting for her minus her mother.  Her mother the wealthy, control freak that made her childhood unbearable and also the last person Maisey wants to see. Apparently, the feeling is mutual since her mom refused to pick her up and condemned her to a "guest room" in the house that Maisey grew ...

I enjoyed this book very much.  There was a secret and I seriously had no clue as to what it was until it was actually revealed.  I felt such pain to be decieved, even though I'm not the one that was wronged. Sir Richard Kenworthy is in desperate need of a bride. Nobody fully knows why, but he just does.  For this to happen, he has to engage the most desperate of all the available ladies on the market.   His quest brings him to the Smythe-Smith family, where he met his diamond in the rough.  No, he did not fall in love, he just found the the most acceptable desperate lady, he needs. With only one look at her, even with her washed out coloring, he knew that he has found the answer to his problem. Isis Smythe-Smith is more intelligent than she lets on. She is an observer and with this skill, she reads people and their intentions simply by the way they act. It helps that she has a pale complexion and a seemingly sly wit that helps her blend into the ba...

This book was...something else.  It had no excitement and there was no mystery.  I knew who the murderer was very early on in the book and I was just wishing that the book would just get to the point already. Pru Parke has gotten the job of her dreams.  She got the position of head gardener at an eighteenth-century manor house in Sussex.  The landscape of Primrose House was originally designed by Humphry Repton. It is Pru's job to restore the garden to it's former glory with guidance from one of Repton's famous red books. Pru is excited and up to the task when a murderer throws an ax into her plans. One of Pru's gardening crew has been brutally murdered and an investigation is undergone to catch the culprit who did it. Not being new to dead bodies, Pru starts asking questions to get to the bottom of this mystery.  With the help from her sexy inspector, Christopher Pearse.  Now it is up to Pru to finish the garden, dig into the mysterious backg...

What are you suppose to do when someone is trying to kill you over your ceramic bowl.  Do you give it over without any complaints or do you hide it and let thousands of people be murdered. Well Summer Hawthorne chose to hide the urn, not knowing the ramifications of her actions, which has her placed in numerous dangerous situations. Where she is rescued time and time again from an unlikely candidate Takasji O'Brien. Takasji "Taka" O'Brien was sent on an assignment to retrieve the Hayashi Urn and to get rid of any liability, and that included Summer, but for some reason he finds himself unable to do so. Now it is up to this unlikely "couple" to keep the urn out of the evil clutches ( delusional cult ) of those who are set out to "cleanse the world". This book is not really what I usually read but I ran out of the type of books I read at the Library and I'm glad I picked up this book.   Ice Blue had loss, betrayal, murder and buddi...

Eve Dallas is the main character in J.D Robb's in death series and I totally love her kick ass attitude as well as her love for her job and her extremely sexy husband Roake. I love the in death series ( as I like to call it) , even though I haven't read the first book in the series (I access book mostly from the Library) I am hooked.

The captain must now push aside his grief, at least for the time being, to focus and think about what he did in his past that could have resulted in the murder of his daughter. Meanwhile, her ki...

Alex Cross, one of my favorite hero series that I know, I will always enjoy to read. In this book, the president, of the United States of America, children have been kidnapped, which is suppose to be impossible, but someone manage to beat the odds and they did it awesomely and right under the secret services's noses. An act of rebellion has led the children right into the arms of danger and torture and it is now up to Detective Cross to help find these poor children before it's to late. Already with too much on his plate, the water supply has been tampered with.  It seems like it was an act of terrorism but is it related to the kidnapping?  You have to read to find out! Even though the book is called "Kill Alex Cross", there seem to be a lack of attempts to actually do so hmmm! I quickly picked up the book from the self because I thought that someone was actually foolish enough to even try, but even with the lack of killing Alex ...
