Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood #1) by J.R. Ward

Dark Lover by J.R. Ward

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I had a hard time staying interested in the beginning, so that is why this story has a 4 star rating instead of a 5 star ratiing. I don't really know why,but I did. That being said once I got past the first 20 to 25% I had a hard time putting it down. There is so much I am looking forward to finding out in this series. I love the fact that she is one of those authors who manages to give the main hero and heroine of this story some closure, but at the same time leaving us all wondering what is going to happen next in the series. In other words I didn't feel cheated and I am still looking forward to more.

Reinventing Mona by Jennifer Coburn

Reinventing Mona by Jennifer Coburn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Here we meet Mona. A woman with the scars from a childhood tragedy lingering over her lifes choices, who has come to the point in her life were she feels she needs a change. We all go through this at some point in our lives, but how many of us are brave enough to go out and get what we want? Or what we thank we want?

Now don't think just because I mentioned childhood tragedy this is a drama, because if you think that you will be sadly mistaken.

Mona decided she wanted to change and knew she wanted and went about getting it. From that point on the hilarity ensues. You will definitely want to go along for the roller coaster ride that Mona takes trying to figure out if what she thought she wanted is what she actually wanted or needed.

Vision in White by Nora Roberts

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I couldn't stand Mac's mother Linda. I love the fact that Carter acknowledged his love for her first. I guess because we always want the guy to say I love you first

Things I love.
1. In this quartet I am glad that Mac's story is first because from what I can tell she is the most emotionally stunted out of the four friends.
2. I love that Carter was so responsible and loving towards Mac and a little geeky. We don't see enough guys like that in romances.
3. That it was very truthful about the way our parents shape us. How our environment has a lot to do with how we turn out rather we choose to be the same or do the
opposite.
4. Mac and Carter together, and how up front they were with one another, so often there are so many games played in relationships that it creates a lot of confusion for
all envolved.
5. I loved the relationship between the 4 friends: Mac, Parker, Emma, and Laurel. They all had each other's backs.


Things I disliked.
1. Mac's mother Linda
2. The fact that Mac enable Linda to treat her the way she did.
3. Some of the language used seemes like the book were about teens instead of adults at times, but maybe they were just very young adults or I am just not used to that
type of lingo. (Guess not since I actually used lingo.)

All that being said, I love Nora Roberts' books, but this one didn't exactly live up to her standard for me. Still it is worth the read so I gave it 4 out of 5.

How to Abduct a Highland Lord by Karen Hawkins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I had been looking forward reading more about the MacLeans ever since I read Much Ado about Marriage. This didn't disappoint.
Fiona is one of the feistiest romance heroine I have read since reading the previous story with her ancestor Fia. Fiona does have one up on Fia since she is part of the famous or infamous MacLean Curse. That means that when her emotions are running high it affects the weather.
Jake is one one those alpha males who doesn't want to give up life as they knew before they got married, but in his case you can understand why. I loved the chemistry between these two rather they were making love or having a row.

When Jake and Fiona are together you know they are meant to be and I can't wait to see what is going to take place with the rest of the MacLeans.
