Get Up. Get Even. Get a better man. - Knight in Shining Suit

Review:This story is sweet and I enjoyed the story line. I would have given the story high marks, but it was very repetitive in many places. I found the grammar (misuse of verb tenses, prepositions, and sentence syntax) so abhorrent that I almost stopped reading the book several times. If you don't mind hitting a reading fluency stumbling block every second or third sentence, then you will enjoy this book. Personally, I'm upset I was expected to pay money to read an unedited piece. You should have p... Read more

Homecoming Ranch (Pine River Book 1)

Review:Sweet, beautiful, uplifting. Not usually my favorite words when it comes to romance, but that's part of why I loved it so much. A little too close to the women's fiction side for it to be a perfect 5 for my own tastes, but that's really the only mark against it. Lovely in every way. Read more

The Furthest Station: A PC Grant Novella
The Furthest Station: A PC Grant Novella

Review:Not worth the price of the book. A rather skimpy tale and thus without the depth of previous books. It didn't seem to be balanced as previous stories were......and the characters all seem divorced from those we had previously known. Disappointing. Read more

The Perfect Homecoming (Pine River Book 3)
The Perfect Homecoming (Pine River Book 3)

Review:An emotional romance piece: no suspense or mystery unless you consider guessing when Emma and Cooper will finally have meaningful sex as suspense. Emma has to learn to love herself and Cooper has to learn to deal with Emma and family issues. Read more

A Man With One of Those Faces (The Dublin Trilogy Book 1)

Review:Brilliant! I read all of the available books in this series before committing myself to writing this review. Within a few pages of this book, I began comparing Caimh McDonell with some of my favorite authors ever - Joseph Heller, Kirk Vonnegut, Jack London, Hunter S. Thompson, Diana Gabaldon, and James Wharton. These authors have a way of writing that makes me hang on every word and truly being characters to life. Caimh now has a place in my group of personal favorites. The authors differ from... Read more

Return to Homecoming Ranch (Pine River Book 2)

Review:This is the second book in the Pine River series by Julia London, in this one she brings back the characters from the first one plus some more that you will love or hate. I know I personally disliked Ryan. This story is all about Libby and Sam. Libby had a rough summer and is still reeling from her life being ripped apart. Sam on the other hand has dug his way up from the bottom of the barrel or in this case the bottle. Its a great book that will have you hoping that there is a third one. I am h... Read more

Review:I'm a grandmother, somewhere between menopause and death, and my usual selection of books would never include a monster book (except for the Twilight series maybe), but this was a free book for Kindle, so I downloaded it. Late one night, I finished "The Help" (excellent) and just opened this to prove to myself that I didn't like it, and I could delete it from my Kindle. I read a couple of pages, then a couple more, and before you know it, my husband is going to bed and I'm sitting up, scared to ... Read more

Review:I liked i
t a lot. It started off really good and ended great, even though it got a little boring in the middle. There were a lot of things I didn't see coming in this book and Emma reminds me of Katniss in the hunger games. Read more

Pete the Cat and the Bad Banana (My First I Can Read)

Review:I actually enjoyed the message in this early reader much more than I had expected! My kids love Pete and I love that they usually have some type of encouraging message for young children. This book tackles the ever important issue kids have with not wanting to try something again if they have a bad experience. Pete loves bananas, has a bad banana, and then never wants one again. His friends and family help him overcome his concerns in a simple way like all Pete books do. I love the talking point... Read more
