Liar's Guide to True Love by: Chen, Wendy

I loved the title, the idea of this story, and Cass. I loved that it felt like she was sharing a dirty little secret with me by telling me about her life. The problem, even with all the things that I loved, was that I had to stuggle to get through it. Whatever I am reading has to catch my attention and hold it right off the bat, or most times I want even waste the time to finish it. I have so many books that I want to read that if within the first few pages or first few chapters I am not totally involved I give up. That is how I felt trying to read this book, I had to make myself get through and I hate that feeling like I am struggling to comprehend.

It's not for me, but someone else may thing otherwise.

Unscripted by: Aaron, Natalie; Schwartz, Marla

Very realistic and laugh out loud funny.

I loved Abby, she seemed like one of my girlfriends. I felt as if I really knew her and I love that she had the same doubts and fears that the rest of face.

She is so down to earth and funny that you can't help wanting her to have a happy ending.

Kiss of Twilight Hunt, Loribelle

I loved this story, didn't realize that it was a part of a series until after I finished reading it and looked the author up on the net. I loved the fact that Kara wasn't a wilting flower and that she stuck to her choices even though Dupree was a very dominating male. I can't wait to see how this whole thing started and where is will take me in the future. Definitely money well spent.

Forever and a Day By: Delilah Marvelle

The premise of this story has been told before, boy meets girl, boy and girl have vastly different social standing, boy fall in love with girl. At the same time this is extremely diffenrent from anything that I have read in a while. I can not remember the last time I have laughed so hard, and have been rooting for a happily ever after as much as I was for these two.

I love the fact that they met in New York and ended in London. It made it feel as though I was reading an accounting of actual fact instead of fiction. Georgia may not have had a education based in a classroom, but she was sharp as a whip and she had street smarts and common sense which sometimes goes a heck of a lot farther than book sense. I am glad that Rodrick/Robinson went through what he did, because it allowed him to be himself, without all the expectations that he had to deal with daily.

I do wish I would have known what he was thinking and feeling when he first met her on the street, that is the only part that left me wanting.

I will definitely be looking forward to reading more books by Delilah Marville in the future.

How to Worship a Goddess by: Stephanie Julian

I absolutely loved this. I had never heard of Stephanie Julian before, but she is now one of my favs. Brandon and Lucy's chemistry was smoking hot. The love the felt for one another was intense. The love scenes were tastefully done and very erotic.

The best thing is this book would have been good without the sex, because the plot was so good. I am hoping that there is more to come with these peopl

A Vampire for Christmas

I love anthologies because reading them is a great way to be introduced to new authors.

I liked this book a lot. Though I enjoyed them all there is one in particular that stands out as the best, and one that I thought could have been better. Overall, this book is definitely worth the time it will take to read it.

Before reading this book I had never heard of any of the authors who grace these pages, but I will not be forgetting them anytime soon.

When Herald Angels Sing by: Caridad Pineiro Rated: 4 out of 5

All I Want for Christmas by: Alexis Morgan (my personal fav) Rated: 5 out of 5

Enchanted by Blood by: Laurie London Rated 4 out of 5

Monsters Don't do Christmas by: Michele Hauf (my least fav) Rated 3 out of 5

Like I said before the book is worth the time and money, and just because I didn't fall head over heels in love with every story you may have a different opinion.

No Holds Barred by: Callie Croix

I was on a rollercoaster of emotions. I went back and forth from liking to disliking to liking again. I like Caitlin and Nathan and how much they seemed to love one another. Then it got to the point of bringing in Liam and I felt like they were forcing her to do something that she really didn't want to act on. I know that she fantasized about it, but that doesn't mean that she actually wanted to act on it. In the end I realized that this is something that she did want to experience she just was afraid how Nathan would feel in the end, because she loved him so much and maybe Liam a little bit too. I would love to see an entire story with them, maybe seeing them all in a relationship together, because it seemed to me that Liam may be in love with Caitlin himself.
