Matter of Time: Vol. 1
Matter of Time: Vol. 1

Review:Two stars for finishing this book. Very shallow and superficial. The characters were not very likable, very one dimensional and undeveloped. The first 30% of the story, Sam finds Jory in clubs, they go eat, he drives him home and repeat, and repeat. What was the purpose in that? Minimal dialogue, answering question with a question, one word answers. It became repetitive and tiring. Ugh, I'm disappointed. And no resolution at the end.... Grrr. Read more

All Kinds of Tied Down (Marshals Book 1)
All Kinds of Tied Down (Marshals Book 1)

Review:I really had a difficult time getting through the beginning if the book. The writing seemed forced and more than a little over the top in introducing the two very immature MCs, both US Marshals, working for Sam Kage (from "A Matter of Time" series) who drove me crazy. Miro, after over three years on the job, persists in wearing expensive, designer clothes to work but then whines and cries when he ruins them while apprehending fugitives and less than cooperative witnesses. And he lusts, big time,... Read more

Rebel (415 Ink)

Review:5++++ Stars. Absolutely brilliant, I loved every single thing about it. One of my top five books of the year for sure. It made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me feel. I fell in love with all of the flawed, beautiful, real characters. I cannot recommend this book enough. My favorite Rhys Ford book ever, and I’ve read them all.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Read more

The Trouble with Goats and Sheep: A Novel
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep: A Novel

Review:I bought this book because it got excellent ratings and sounded as though it would be one that my nine-year-granddaughter might enjoy since the story is about two ten-year-old girls trying to solve the mystery of Mrs. Creasy’s disappearance. None of the adults take religion seriously, but the girls hear the vicar say that God is everywhere so they search for Him, thinking He will take care of Mrs. Creasy. By the end of the book the girls have come to the conclusion that (1) religion is superst... Read more

Hand-Me-Down Princess (The Brides of Belles Montagnes) (Volume 1)
Hand-Me-Down Princess (The Brides of Belles Montagnes) (Volume 1)

Review:My Review:
The day was set and arranged far before Jessabelle Keller knew about it. Her wedding was prepared and planned without her opinion. And her groom she had never met. On her wedding day she should be a happy joyous bride, but things are never what they seem. Her father only did this to make good on a deal, or so she believed.

Prince Malachi Van Renssalaer of Mevendia never had the choice in the matter. He was forced to marry a girl he never met, but the minute he laid eyes on h... Read more

A Cinderella Love Story (Billionaires and Brides Book 2)
A Cinderella Love Story (Billionaires and Brides Book 2)

Review:This story proves you don't need a fairy godmother, wicked step sisters, or an evil step mother to have a great modern Cinderella tale. Charisma, charm and strength of character make the leading man a Prince among men, and a feeling of being somewhere between the ugly duckling and a fish out of water with a genuine, caring and compassionate heart creates a compelling Cinderella.

I was gifted with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, and switched to the Kindle Unlimited v... Read more

His Prairie Princess (Prairie Brides Book 1)
His Prairie Princess (Prairie Brides Book 1)

Review:Nicely done Christian romance. No sex scenes just good old fashioned good triumphing over evil. It grabs you quickly and I got into the story of the hero Harrison and his lovely Princess, who just happens to be cattle baron Royalty. He of course has no clue she comes from money bur does save her life. It is a good western as well with all the usual salt of the earth characters. A quick, nice read. Read more
