Tigana: Anniversary Edition

Review:Maybe my expectations were too high, but I think this book is overrated.

Good things:

1. The descriptions are beautiful.

2. The world feels real because of all the historical and religious details.

3. It raises many interesting philosophical and ethical questions.

4. It has two or three gut-wrenching moments, mainly around Dianora.

Bad things:
1. The book has a slow-as-molasses plot. To distract you from this, the writer just throws you into the middl... Read more

A Bad Boy Next Door Romance (Bad Boys Next Door Book 1)
A Bad Boy Next Door Romance (Bad Boys Next Door Book 1)

Review:The storyline was good, but there was no character development to speak of. The story was also confusing at times, the beginning says Maddy moved into the Midwest, I'm assuming from Georgia, since that's where the licenses plates on the car are from, and she's attending the state college there. Also, it's mentioned that's she's over 21, no specific age given. But the story reads like she and her best friend Katie are just starting college. They rented a condo with their student loan money but n... Read more

Review:This started off as a typical douchey rockstar goes in hiding, meet and fall for the small town girl.....but it turned out to be so much more. It's been a long time since I have read something so SWEET and SPICY at the same time.

I loved Shawn and Dakota together especially when they weren't hiding secrets or having misunderstandings. But I guess that was part of the fun. Shawn was very egotistical but he had such a sweet and family oriented side that just made me want to sigh and give hi... Read more
