No Strings Attached (Falling for You Book 1)
No Strings Attached (Falling for You Book 1)

Review:This is a promising start to a new comtempory series. We have the requisite hot tattooed gentlemen but with lots of great twists. He is kind. He took care of his dying mother and his just returned from war brother. He is not a bad boy and while not a virgin by a long stretch he isn't a man ho and does not treat women like objects until he meets the one. Best of all, he puts his life on hold so the heroine can achieve her dreams. I give you, Jace, awesome hero.

The heroine is smart and fu... Read more

Iron Kissed (Mercy Thompson, Book 3)
Iron Kissed (Mercy Thompson, Book 3)

Review:I held off buying any more of the Mercy books, as I really needed my sleep. Caught up on the sleep, I started #3 three days ago. I forced myself, two nights running, to turn my light off at a reasonable time, and thereby stretch the fun of the book out a little longer. Last night, I threw caution, and sleep, to the winds, and finished the book.

No vampires in this book, which is too bad, though I'm sure they'll reappear, and soon. This book dealt with the fae, and who was killing them, an... Read more

Bone Crossed (Mercy Thompson, Book 4)
Bone Crossed (Mercy Thompson, Book 4)

Review:I loved that Stefan had a fairly large part in this book. He’s one of my favorite characters in the series. I didn’t like some of what happened to him, but at least some of it wasn’t permanent. I’m really almost hating Marsilia. I totally get why she did what she did, but I don’t like her.

Mercy was raped in the last book, and she’s still working through her issues with that. And with the fact that she has finally done what we all knew she would be doing since book 1: Become Adam’s mate. ... Read more

Blood Bound (Mercy Thompson, Book 2)
Blood Bound (Mercy Thompson, Book 2)

Review:I finished this book last night and loved it. Her characters are always the selling point for me -- interesting, rather sharp-edged and complicated. The plot is good, but not necessarily the main attraction. It's the words and the story telling that draw me. I was also suitably terrified during one particular scene, which is impressive because I'm rarely frightened by scary scenes.

Briggs is honestly my favorite author next to JK Rowling, who is rather stiff competition. Read more

The Light We Lost

Review:A friend suggested this book because we have the same taste. So glad she did! The story grabs you from the beginning and you just have to see how it will end. The book has a different format than I am used to and at times I found it annoying. Still by the end I found I enjoyed the uniqueness. I also kept thinking about the one that got away... Read more

Whistling In the Dark

Review:I did not grow up in Milwaukee but have lived most of my adult live near Milwaukee. I loved the humor and the characters. It is really refreshing to see things through the eyes of a ten year old. I look forward to reading more books by Lesley Kagen. Read more

Apprentice (Riftwar Cycle - The Riftwar Saga)
Apprentice (Riftwar Cycle - The Riftwar Saga)

Review:Grow up to fight the dark lord with your best mate, but gotta stop that alien invasion first.

Feist takes a fantasy epic that it seems grew out of his own fantasy roleplaying games, and gives the standard plot a pit of a tweak. While there is your evil dark lord figure to deal with, there is also an alien invasion (but of humans from a different culture, technology and type of magic).

One boy ends up in the other world with a touch of Shogun, learning magic, while the other ens up... Read more

Fire and Ice Trilogy Book 3) - Fused in Fire (DDVN World

Review:Loved how everything was tied up In this story. Regan and Darius are perfect together. I admit it threw me for a loop about the "wetness" and all that entails, I hope the understanding comes in the future. Thanks for a great trilogy. Read more
