All Booked Up

Synful Seduction by Cassie Verano My rating: 1 of 5 stars Once upon a time, a rich, arrogant asshole and a superbly immature and naive psychologist/social worker/singer/sin on legs human girl fell in deep lust and thought it was love. View all my reviews

A Coal Miner's Son by T.A. Chase My rating: 2 of 5 stars Cute little escape. View all my reviews

The Two Gentlemen of Altona by Lisa Henry My rating: 1 of 5 stars Meh. View all my reviews

Kick Start by Josh Lanyon My rating: 3 of 5 stars My least favorite of the series so far even though it has the most character development. It just feels that at this point, Taylor and Will should be over their insecurities about each other and their relationship as well as working partnership. I think they finally turned that corner towards the end of the book, thanks to Will's dad, but yeesh. View all my reviews

Tribute by Nora Roberts My rating: 4 of 5 stars 50 States Challenge: Virginia Around the World Reading Challenge: United States That turned out to be so much better than I originally thought. Ford definitely grew on me because I thought he was a creep from the start. I'll eat crow; this was pretty darn good. View all my reviews

The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley My rating: 1 of 5 stars Around the World Reading Challenge - Scotland Jesus H. With friends like these, who the hell needs enemies? View all my reviews

The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf My rating: 1 of 5 stars This book was a master-class of things I hate the most in novels: expository infodumps. I. Hate. That. It is so dull. Dull . I cannot stress that enough. It is so annoying to have characters, especially in first-person, go into long, long diatribes about something that happened 20 years ago. Even more so when it happens in the middle of action. The character is in the middle of doing something and then starts talking about a sandwich they had 12 years ago and it has NO bearing on the present or anything that has happened or will happen. You guys, honestly...my eyes are rolling out of my skull. And if my kid, my selective mute kid, goes missing, I'm not standing around wringing my hands. I'm going to be out there looking for my kid with a flashlight in the daytime. View all my reviews

Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep My rating: 1 of 5 stars I like elemental magic. I think it might be in my top five of magical systems. ...but that did not save this book because I hate Gin Blanco. I hate everything about her. I hate everything that makes her who she is - which is a flaming, violent narcissistic sociopath - and I want to forget every single moment that I spent in her head.

Brownies & Betrayal by Heather Justesen My rating: 4 of 5 stars Sweetness! I love a fast-paced cozy mystery; especially one with recipes that I'd love to try. 😉 This was a fun read and I'm looking forward to checking out the rest. Tess is a heroine that I enjoy. View all my reviews

Mad Mafia Love by Jamila Jasper My rating: 3 of 5 stars Was the hot escape from reality that I wanted it to be. I'd happily check out the rest of the series. View all my reviews

Takeover by Lisa Black My rating: 1 of 5 stars Meh. I liked the plot, but that was about it. I can't relate to Mary Sue heroines or one-dimensional side characters. That...pretty much makes reading the rest of the book boring. View all my reviews

Needing His Demon by Marie Medina My rating: 2 of 5 stars And we're rolling right along. View all my reviews

Blood Cross by Faith Hunter My rating: 5 of 5 stars Kicking myself for not getting back into this series for so long, because this was one great ride. Picking up almost immediately where we left off, Jane...has her life threatened by the ridiculously sexy vampire Leo Pellissier, Blood Master of New Orleans and the action stays that tense throughout the entire book. This book is everything that I enjoy in UF, with the added bonus of some science that makes the magic in this world more understandable and unique. And some smokin' hot guys. I'm looking at you, Rick LaFleur. ;) There are hints of a love square; and while I like Rick and am virtually indifferent/bordering on dislike when it comes to George, Leo is the only one I see.
