Last Song: Review

The Last Song
by Nicholas Sparks

Synopsis:


In the tradition of A Walk to Remember, this is a story of a teenage girl and her first encounter with heartbreak ?? and love.


Seventeen year old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was turned upside?down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alientated from her parents, especially her father...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church.


The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story of love on many levels??first love, love between parents and children ?? that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love can break our hearts...and heal them.

First Line: Ronnie slouched in the front seat of the car, wondering why on earth her mom and dad hated her so much.

Favorite Line: " It's Galatians 5:22"

My Review: Nicholas Sparks never fails me! Bring your tissues with you when you sit down to read this book! Really not much more can be said, I mean hello NICHOLAS SPARKS wrote it, what more do you need!

My Rating: 5 stars


390 pages


Until next time...Happy Reading!

Dare to Surrender: Review

by Lilli Feisty

HE MEETS HIS MATCH.
SHE MEETS HER MASTER.

Art gallery curator Joy Montgomery has never liked her body's generous curves. And she's always been too shy to explore her wild side. But tonight, everything is going to change . . .

Desperate to save her job, Joy approaches bad-boy artist Ash Hunter and asks him to exhibit his erotic work at her gallery. Ash agrees on one condition: Joy must pose as his model. But business soon turns to pleasure, as Joy experiences a passion beyond her wildest imaginings and Ash finds more than just inspiration in his voluptuous new muse.

First Line: Half of being successful was luck, right?

My Review: After reading this book I need to go back and read " Bound to Please" Lilli Feisty knows how to make a hot, sinful, smutty, lustful read! Ash and Joy set San Francisco on fire! While these two were the main characters burning up the pages, we also get a mini satisfying story with Joy's best friend Erica and Blaine. Each page in this book oozes sex!

My Rating: 5 stars!!

Halfway to the Grave

Halfway to the Grave
(Night Huntress Series #1)
by Jeaniene Frost

Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father—the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership.
In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner—are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

Favorite Line(s): n/a

First Line: I stiffened at the red and blue lights flashing behind me, because there was no way I could explain what was in the back of my truck.

My Review: A must read for anyone! I know a lot of my fellow book bloggers have already read this series and I am ashamed it as taken me so long to read this book. I'm not worthy! I think the idea that Cat is half human and half vampire makes for a great story line and I can't wait to see what happens next for her. I also can see why so many of my fellow book bloggers has a thing for Bones... hott! This book is a fast read, but it is more than that... it has strong characters that have plenty of room for growth. This should be a fun adventure, going to start the second book this afternoon.
