Review: All He Ever Dreamed (The Kowalskis #6) – Shannon Stacey

Review: All He Ever Dreamed (The Kowalskis #6) – Shannon Stacey

*I received a free ARC of All He Ever Dreamed from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* All He Ever Dreamed is the story about Josh, the youngest Kowalski brother, and Katie who grew up with them – and who is practically one of the guys. She hangs out with the guys during ball games, and is just as good at shouting at the TV as they are. She is the town’s barber, and the one who usually cuts Josh’s hair. When Katie’s mom is sick, and conspiring to get Josh and Katie together, it is decided that Katie should stay a while at the lodge – and that’s when the sparks start flying – even […]

Review: The First Rule of Swimming – Courtney Angela Brkic

Review: The First Rule of Swimming – Courtney Angela Brkic

*I received a free ARC of The First Rule of Swimming from Little, Brown via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The First Rule of Swimming is a haunting, beautiful and fragile tale of two sisters, their mother, their cousin and their grand-father. The action takes place between a small island in Croatia – Rosmarina – and New York, as part of the family fled during the cold war, in order to escape imprisonment. The way both parts of the family suffered from this separation, their fears, their new knowledge, and the fact that they no longer could stay in contact was truly heart-breaking. Hidden among the story of this Croatian family is both the bond between the two […]

Review: Dead Ever After (Sookie Stackhouse #13) – Charlaine Harris

Review: Dead Ever After (Sookie Stackhouse #13) – Charlaine Harris

Dead Ever After is the last book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, and the ending was quite logical – and most characters from past books showed up in Bon Temps to help Sookie with some problems she had, and at the same time, it also felt like they had come to say goodbye to the readers. This made Dead Ever After feel like goodbye as well – even if there was a lot of stuff happening that had something to do with what had happened in prior books. Sookie once more found herself in the middle of an intriguing mystery, and at the same time, she had to deal with Sam’s withdrawal after she had brought him back to life. […]

Blog Tour: Review + Giveaway: Where the Four Winds Collide – Hildie McQueen

*I received a free ARC of Where the Four Winds Collide from Enchantress of Book Blogtours in exchange of an honest review* Where the Four Winds Collide is a sweet western romance, with a heroine who is ready to do what it takes to save herself! It is refreshing when there is a heroine who is able to take care of herself, even if she hasn’t necessarily learned how. Adeline is one of those heroines who is both cute, polite, and very proper,  but she will do what it takes to make sure she is safe, and away from her tormentors. As Adeline makes her escape, the readers also get to meet Jackson, who is in a bad mood realizing […]

Review: Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) – Richelle Mead

Review: Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) – Richelle Mead

*I received a free ARC of Gameboard of the Gods from Dutton Adult via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* Gameboard of the Gods is about a world where religion is all but forbidden, after religious extremists almost destroyed all humanity. Mae and Justin need to work together to make sure a religious war won’t happen again. The premise holds so much promise, with a very strong woman, both physically and mentally, different mythologies, a gruesome murder mystery as well as family drama. I went into this story with pretty high expectations – I love the author, usually adore her books, and I really looked forward to reading an adult mystery with lots of mythology. Sadly, Gameboard of the […]

Review: All He Ever Desired (The Kowalskis #5) – Shannon Stacey

All He Ever Desired is about a second chance in love. Is it even possible? Ryan Kowalski sure doesn’t think so, and when he comes back to Withford after a long absence, he does the best he can to avoid Lauren, the woman he has loved since high-school. They meet on his first day back, however, as their paths cross in his soon-to-be sister-in-law’s diner. Ryan has no idea what to say to her, and ends up feeling like a dork, so much so that he doesn’t even notice how flushed their encounter leaves Lauren. The big conflict in this installment of the Kowalski family saga is that Lauren’s son is the vandal who has been wreaking havoc around the […]

Review: Big Boy (Strangers on a Train) – Ruthie Knox

Review: Big Boy (Strangers on a Train) – Ruthie Knox

Big Boy is a fun and very hot story about Amanda, and the very little time she has to actually go out on a date. Not at all desperate to find a special someone in her life, she does realize that she needs more than just her job and being a mother to Josh, though, and when she signs up with a dating service, little does she know what her mysterious man has in store for her. She has as much fun getting her costume ready as she has actually meeting with the mystery man himself. Getting ready with clothes from another era, feeling sexy and herself, but not herself brings some spice and fun back into Mandy’s life. And […]
