Highland Outlaw:

Mass Market Paperback: 384 pages

Language: English
ISBN-10: 0345503392

First Line: One of these days his cousing was going to get them killed. Patrick MacGregor could only hope that day wasn't today.

Handsome and dangerous, Patrick MacGregor is a wanted man, possessing the tough, tenacious spirit of his outlawed clan. He will stop at nothing to save his people from destruction, even if it means marrying Elizabeth Campbell, the daughter of his worst enemy. Yet the flaxen-haired beauty disarms him from the start. Her sweet, unspoiled softness touches the cold depths of his ravaged soul–and makes him want much more than revenge.

Inside the shy and dutiful Lizzie is a passionate woman longing to emerge, a woman ready for love. So when the piercing emerald eyes and searing kiss of a stranger spark in her a desperate hunger, she surrenders to Patrick’s glorious seduction–unaware that his daring deception has just found its one and only chance for redemption: a love more powerful than hate.

Favorite Quote(s): " If there is nothing between us, then why is your heart fluttering like the wings of a butterfly? Why is your breath quickening? And why do your lips part for me?"

"Do harm to mine and I'll do worse to yours" was part of the highland credo.

My Review: Another couple classified as star crossed lovers. This was a well written story from beginning to end. I will say that while this book could stand alone it would be better if you read the first book in the series. The timeline in this book is the same as the first so a lot of the story lines we were introduced to come back in this book, just told from a different angle. Patrick plays the role of "hero" perfectly. He is everything readers long to find when they pick up a book. Elizabeth also plays a strong, determined and witty "heroine".

Monica McCarty has once again given her readers a story that keeps them up at night unable to put their book down! Bravo!

My Rating: 4 stars

Mini Shopaholic: Review

Mini Shopaholic

by: Sophie Kinsella

Nothing comes between Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) and her bargains. Neither act of God nor budget crunch can shatter her dreams of wall-to-wall Prada. Every milestone in her well-shopped life (travel, long-lost sister, marriage, pregnancy) inspires new vistas to explore in the name of retail therapy. But now she faces her greatest little challenge yet: Becky’s two-year-old daughter, Minnie.

While motherhood has been everything Becky dreamed it would be—Baby Dior, Little Marc Jacobs, and Dolce & Gabbana for toddlers—adorable Minnie is wreaking havoc everywhere she goes, from Harrods to her own christening. Her favorite word is “MINE!” and her penchant for Balenciaga bags, Chanel sunglasses, and online purchases has no rival under age five.

Becky is at her wits end. On top of this, she and her husband Luke are still living with her parents. Thankfully it appears house buying attempt number four is a go! Until a huge financial crisis causes panic everywhere, and nobody wants to shop—not Becky’s personal shopping clientele, not her friends, nobody. And with Luke in the doldrums, it’s time for Becky to step in—with a party: A surprise birthday party for Luke (on a budget) is the perfect antidote to everyone’s woes. At first.

Will Becky manage to keep the party of the year a surprise? Can she hire jugglers, fire-eaters, and acrobats at a discount? Will enlisting the help of Luke’s unflappable assistant to convince him to have another baby realize her dream of matching pom-poms? Will Minnie find a new outlet for her energetic and spirited nature (perhaps one with sixty percent markdowns)? She is, after all, a chip off the old shopping block. And everyone knows a committed shopper always finds a way.

First Line(s): OK. DON'T PANIC. I'm in charge. I, Rebecca Brandon ( nee Bloomwood), am the adult. Not my two-year old daughter.

My Review: I am not certain if I was not into the book because of the story line or because I am not into this genre of books at the moment. I still found Becky to be witty and entertaining, this was not lost in this book. But I did feel this book went in way too many directions. Will this stop me from reading any further book should there be one? Nope, I will still read.

Vanished: Review

Vanished

(Private Series #12)

by Kate Brian

Synopsis:

Lost and found...
Against all odds, Reed Brennan re-established Billings as an underground literary society. She and the new initiates created a glamorous secret headquarters and were ready to show Easton Academy that even though Billings House is gone, the Billings Girls are stronger than ever. But before Reed had a chance to revel in her success, something horrible happened:

Noelle disappeared.

Now Reed has no idea who wants to hurt Noelle or why, but it's up to Reed to save her. As the clues build up, the clock ticks down, and Reed fears that unless she finds Noelle soon, she'll lose her friend forever....

First Line: I couldn't sustain this for much longer.

My Review: I had this book finished in just a over a day, so Kate Brian gets major points there, but other than that I believe the story line is grasping now. Will this stop me from picking up the next book out in December, no but I feel that the story line is running out of places to go, which leads us to the Prequel Kate Brian is releasing. I remain hopeful that I am wrong though.

Highlander Unmasked: Review

Highlander Unmasked

(#2 )

by Monica McCarty

Synopsis:

Alex MacLeod’s virile physique, fearsome reputation, and renowned fighting skills have helped him master to perfection the role of a hardened mercenary. On a secret mission to protect his clan, he must keep his true purpose well hidden. But his dangerous endeavor is threatened by a beautiful woman he saves from outlaws, never dreaming she will appear at court and put his plans in jeopardy.

Meg Mackinnon needs a strong husband by her side to defend her clan’s holdings, but her search has been hampered by burning fantasies of the midnight rescuer whose smoldering blue eyes and raw sensuality left her breathless. Alex pretends to be a mercenary with no loyalties, yet he is clearly much more. As Meg challenges Alex to reveal all his secrets, the stakes grow perilously high, especially for the bold woman who dares to unmask a highlander.

First Line: He was going home.

My Review: Steamy hot! I love me a good Highlander Romance, grr baby grr! It was nice having Alex as the main character. We met him in the first book. I did find myself rolling my eyes at Meg though. Not as hot as the first in the series but still hot enough to make you go to bed at night ready for the Highlander you will find in your dreams. Hey, I am pregnant... it happens!

Royal Blood: Review

Royal Blood

(Vampire Kisses Series #6)

by Ellen Schreiber

Summer break is over, and Raven is hardly eager to be returning to Dullsville High. Not only does school mean daily interaction with preppy pest Trevor Mitchell, but her sleep-filled days and romantic nights with her immortal boyfriend, Alexander, must come to an end. Plus the shock of morning classes isn't the only change in store.

An unexpected letter turns up at Alexander's mansion—announcing his parents will be coming to town. And once they arrive, just about everyone has had a sighting of the macabre couple except Raven. What could be delaying Alexander from introducing Raven to them? Could Alexander be hiding something about his parents' homecoming?

When Raven is finally invited to the most thrilling dinner party of her life, the next turn of events could transform her entire future with Alexander. The sixth book in Ellen Schreiber's bestselling Vampire Kisses series takes an unusual twist in the continuing romance of Raven and Alexander.

First Line: The letter arrived mysteriously.

My Review: Boring! I get that this serious is Young Adult, maybe middle school age group. But I just remember this series having a bit more to it. Oh well, at least I can mark a book off in my Young Adult Reading Challenge.

by Jo Davis

He was once a star quarterback on the fast track, until tragedy derailed his dream. Ever since then, he's struggled with the choices he's made- including his decision to become a firefighter.

A ruthless enemy is closing in, threatening to destroy the couple's love- and their lives.

First Line: " Go wide! Go wide!"

My Review: The chemistry is this book was dead on, but at times I felt their were holes in the story line. Tommy stood out well as the main character, he was very believable as the small town boy gone football star. I could could see him in my head. I also feel Jo Davis does Tn justice. She captures the small town feel right down to the details of the leaves in the fall.

My Rating: I wish I did half stars right about now, but since I don't I will go ahead and give this book 4 stars!

Like her mother, young Sarah Carrier is bright and willful, openly challenging the small, brutal world in which they live.

Hard Evidence: Review

Hard Evidence

by Pamela Clare

After the murder of a teenage girl, a mysaterious man in a black leather jacket was seen lurking near the crime scene. Investigative reporter Tess Novak has him in her sights as the culprit....

That man was Julian Darcangelo, an undercover FBI agent working with the Denver police. He's closing in on the trail of a human trafficker and killer. Tessa's accusations could blow his cover, and he wants her off the investigation.

But just as TEssa has made Julian a target of interest, she is now a target of the killer. And as they are forced to trust each other, their physical attraction escalates as intensely as the treat from a ruthless murderer who wants to see both of them dead....

First Line: Coffee was Tessa Novak's heroin.

My review: This is my favorite book in the series this far. I read book one and than read book three, so had to go back to get this book. Hard Evidence really has it all, the whole package. It is steamy, HOTT, funny and witty. The two main characters, Tessa and Julian are very believeable people and you find yourself really caring about what they have gone through and what they continue to go through with each turning page.

Highland Guardian: Review

Highland Guardian

(Daughters of the Glen, Book 2)

by Melissa Mayhue

Sarah Douglas is a successful romance novelist who's come to Scotland hoping to overcome her writer's block and to come to terms with her strange ability to sense the emotions of everyone she touches. But from the moment she arrives, her problems only intensify. From the stalker- who might be only a figment of her imagination- to her attraction to the darkly handsome owner of the cottage she's rented, nothing goes as she had planned.

Ian McCullough is neck-deep in his own trouble. A half-mortal descendant of Faeries, he's been a Guardian for more than six hundred years, but he's never encountered a woman like Sarah. Assigned to protect her, he finds the job tougher than he could have imagined. Oh, he can handle the stalker, and even the renegade Faeries trying to kidnap her. But falling in love means forsaking his role as Guardian — which is some-thing he could never do.

But there is no denying the passion that exists between two souls fated to be together.

First Line: " The threat is over."

Favorite Line(s): n/a

My Review: Another wonderful book written by Melissa Mayhue in the series of Daughters of Glen. Good thing about this book is it doesn't matter if you read it out of order. The story is free standing, is not tied in with the first book in the series ( although you should read that one as well). I love the loyalties you find in this book, not only with family but with friends. This story takes place in present time so you won't be reading about any time traveling but Melissa has a way of making you think... "what if" or "maybe it's true". The relationship between Ian and Sarah is endearing throughout the whole story and hot when needed. They made a believable couple.

One Foot in the Grave

One Foot in the Grave

(Night Huntress Series #2)

by Jeaniene Frost

You can run from the grave, but you can't hide . . .

Half-vampire Cat Crawfield is now Special Agent Cat Crawfield, working for the government to rid the world of the rogue undead. She's still using everything Bones, her sexy and dangerous ex, taught her, but when Cat is targeted for assassination, the only man who can help her is the vampire she left behind.

Being around him awakens all her emotions, from the adrenaline kick of slaying vamps side by side to the reckless passion that consumed them. But a price on her head—wanted: dead or half-alive—means her survival depends on teaming up with Bones. And no matter how hard she tries to keep things professional between them, she'll find that desire lasts forever . . . and that Bones won't let her get away again.

Favorite Line(s): n/a

First Line: I waited outside the large, four story home in Manhasset that was owned by a Mr. Liam Flannery.

My Review: This follow up in the series did not fail! My boyfriends back and your gonna be in trouble... ha ha ha! Not that Cat needs any help from her man, but they do make for a steamy read. I love the chemisty between these two characters. The story line continues to flow smoothy in this series, never a dull or predictable moment.

If you look at hte lower left hand side of my tool bar you will see I joined a new club after reading this book. Do you see it? That's right I am not a proud member of Bones is mine club! I love when I find me a new book boyfriend. This crazy book slut lives for it!
