Why My Third Husband Will Be A Dog

Why My Third Husband Will Be A Dog: The Amazing Adventures of an Ordinary Woman by Lisa Scottoline


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. There was so many things that she talked about that I could identify with, and many that I couldn't. I still feel like I learned something about another person's life that I allowed me to sit back and look at mine. Lisa's dedication to her daughter is really heartwarming to me. I identified most with her and her feeling towards dogs. I am almost the same way. She lost Lucy in about the same manner that I lost my dog and that really struck home.

This is a great book to just pick up and read a chapter or too at a time, as each one is it's own mini story. They eventually all add up to being a great autobiography in my opinion.

The Devil who Tamed Her by Johanna Lindsey

The Devil Who Tamed Her by Johanna Lindsey


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What I thought was great about this book, is how much you can learn about someone when you walk in their shoes. Of course, that is kind of cliche, especially when these are fictional characters. But as much as you can't stand Ophelia in The Heir, she really shines through in this book, and you definitely can understand what and where she's coming from.

Rafe was a great character as well. He saw inside Ophelia where everyone else only saw her on the outside. All in all, I really enjoyed this book! :)

The Heir by Johanna Lindsey

The Heir by Johanna Lindsey


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well, listening to this story was a true joy! I loved that the story had so much of "miss communication" that just shows that honesty is the best way to help things NOT become a big drama.

I'd say my only problem is I didn't see much much of a character arc for the main characters. Their personalities and action were basically the same throughout the story, with exception of finding their love for each other. Ophelia is the one that had a drastic character arc and I am anxious to listen to her story next in The Devil Who Tamed Her. However, disliking her character so much in this story will be a true test for Johanna's storytelling abilities.

Bed of Roses by Nora Roberts

Bed of Roses by Nora Roberts


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I didn't actually read this book but listened too it, and I think for this storyline and this author, listening is the way to go! The person who performed the story did a great job and made me feel more for the characters than the first book, Vision in White, that I read.

Emma is a great character, I think her arc was addressed more to than Mac's in the last book. To me, Mac's book was all about her and the relationship with her mother. I liked that with Bed of Roses more is focused on the character herself and the hero with his shortcomings.

This one give me more hope for the next than the last book. Although it is predictable who each girl will end up with, and I'd rather it be more ambiguous.

PS. I hope they make this series into movies, I'd love to see it on Lifetime. :)

Deep Kiss of Winter

What more can you ask for with TWO stories in one book? Well, make that one by Gena Showalter and Kresley Cole!!! It's the best of both worlds I tell ya!

Untouchable
I couldn't have been any happier with this book unless she had made it a full book rather than a short story. I adored Daniella. And Murdoch, for what he had to go through. I was really happy with how things ended up and would love to see more of these characters later on.

Tempt Me Eternally
Wow, Gena really knows how to knock one outta the park! I can't get enough of her stories!! Aleaha was amazing and I would love to see this as a movie! She would be so cool. And the Rakan!? Come on Gena, get your characters some screen time! I'm anxious to read another AIR book so I can actually "see" these characters again.


My biggest problem with these short stories is that I get so used to the authors writing full stories that the "falling in love" and the action in these books feels so rushed! But I'm content. I am glad that they do this so everyone in the series you care about get's their own tale.

Regardless, both stories were AWESOME and I can't wait to read the next!!!

Review: A Bride for Jericho Bravo

A Bride for Jericho Bravo by Christine Rimmer


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I thought this book was pretty good. It was an easy, fun story to read. I really admired Marnie for her journey through the breakup. I actually would have like to see a longer book. The problem with these quick short books is the character figures out their personal problems and finds the happily ever after WAY faster than a real person. But whatever, that's why I love fiction!! :)

A Hunger Like No Other

A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow, I just couldn't put this book down! The difference Lore introduced in this book is incredible! The opening with Lachlain's situation was mind boggling. I love how this book shows that people of different "races" can be happy together reguardless of the animosity of their other cultures have.
