Just Like Heaven

Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ms. Quinn has done it again. I have loved her books since my boss gave me a copy of one of her books about 7 or 8 years ago. To my utter relief she hasn't disappointed me yet. This book was funny and very sweet. I loved the whole premise and I loved all the characters, so I can't wait for the next book(s) in the series.

I was hooked from the very first page and didn't stop until I was done. Rather you or new to this genre or you are an old fan, this book is book is a wonderful place to start or just make you fall in love with the genre and the author all over again.

Ruined by Rumor

Ruined by Rumor by Alyssa Everett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was full of humor and eventually real romance. It had me wanting to pull my hair out of my head at times, but in a good way.

We all know that most romances are full of misunderstandings, but this one was full of them. (Again in a good way) The reason I am saying in a good way is because I think that the misunderstandings were pretty unique. Yes, they would talk to one another to explain, but each person drew their own conclusions instead of asking for clarification. Alex has to be one of the most serious heroes that I have read about in a while and for a minute I thought they would never say what drove him to act that way, but alas they did. I absolutely loved him and Roxana together.

The only reason I am giving this story a 4 instead of 5 is because the part of the plot concerning George was pretty predictable. I guessed right away what was going on with him.

I know I am probably making no sense whatsoever, but this book is definitely worth the time it takes to read.

I only have eyes for you

I Only Have Eyes for You by Bella Andre
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have always like Bella Andre because she gives the right amount of romance with the right amount of hot, steamy, sex.
I really like liked this story because I could tell right away that the characters loved each other, even though Sophie had no clue how Jake felt about her. The thing is Ms. Andre let the readers know early how he felt and partly why he didn't want to pursue a relationship with her. I was so glad to see Sophie take some initiative and go after what she wanted.

The thing that kept me from giving this story 5 stars was its predictability. I pretty much knew what was going to happen from the first time these two hit the sheets, well even before then. There was really no anticipation of whats to come because I guessed it all before I got to it. That being said it was still an enjoyable read and I am looking forward to going back and reading the Sullivan series from the beginning and finding out what is going to happen with the rest of the clan.

Gentleman Says

A Gentleman Says "I Do" by Amelia Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read this a few weeks ago and thought that I had already written a review, but I see that I was wrong.
I loved Catalina and Iverson. I am a romance lover, especially historical romance. It is something about that times that draws me, even though I wouldn't trade the freedom that we women have today for nothing in the world. I would like to think that if I were living in that time Catalina is the woman I would like to emulate. She was intelligent, beautiful, and considering the time she lived in, very independent.
Iverson was the perfect man for her to fall in love with, and she the perfect woman for him. Anyone else would have bored them both to tears. When you have someone as headstrong as Catalina you definitely need a man who can stand up and match wits and intelligence with her, but someone who also allows her to be herself and love her for it and vice versa.

I didn't know that the book was part of a series until I started reading, but I am looking forward to going back to the first book and continuing on with the next. I am waiting with bated breath for Matson's story and to see what happens next in the Brentwood's lives.

Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict

Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked this book. Was it a book that I felt urgent to read? No, but it was still entertaining. The first thing I thought when I started reading was that I wished they would have shown Courtney in her natural habitat before she was thrust into Jane's world. I would have liked to known who she really was before she woke up in the past.

I also thought that it would have been better had she been in Jane's body, but mainly remained herself without the skills that Jane had such as embroidery and dancing. I also wished that the ending would have given more closure. Was Jane or Courtney Edgeworth's wife? I assumed that it was Jane, but for all I know Courtney could have completely been integrated with Jane's memories and forgot her own.

Despite all that I still gave it 3 stars because it was still rather funny at moments.

Where there's Smoke

Where There's Smoke by Karen Kelley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked this book. I have read plenty of paranormals about angels and demons, but I don't remember reading one quite like this one. Destiny had it so hard in her life as a human that it's easy to understand why she chose the path that she did. This book is all about love and 2nd chances and it is hot, hot, hot.

The thing that i liked the most are the character names, Destiny and Chance. She was his destiny and he gave her a chance at a better existence.

All I can say is it is definitely worth the time to read and I can't wait for the other guys stories.
