The Accidental Bride

The Accidental Bride by Christina Skye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked this story. Jilly, who went from foster home to foster home and grew up to have trust and abandonment issues. Walker, the rich kid who didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps. Can anyone say polar opposites. The thing is we go through the whole story not knowing much about Walker, just like Jilly so when you realize who he is you can understand why she feels the way she does considering how she grew up.

I think that I would have liked this story a little more if I was a big dog lover like these people seem to be because their pets are a big part of this story. Also if I would have started with the first book in what must be a series that includes Jilly friends I may have been more invested.

As it is it was still a pretty good read.

I actually loved the town more than I loved the story. I felt like that is the place and community that I would love to raise my children. I learned something new also about service dogs. I had no idea that they had animals trained to do those types of things.

When the duchess said yes

When the Duchess Said Yes by Isabella Bradford
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This story just didn't do it for me. In the beginning it was great it even had me laughing a times because of the misunderstanding between the soon to be married couple. In the end it just boiled down to me not liking these characters. I thought that he was selfish and I would have like her more had she picked one part of her personality and stuck with it. You see I didn't use names and that is because I honestly forgot his first name, I can't remember anyone using except for at the beginning of the book.

Shades of Temptation

Shades of Temptation by Virna DePaul
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW!!! Virna DePaul has done it again.

Actually I love this more than : Mac and Natalie's story in Book 1 Shades of Desire. She took this one to another level.
Although it could have been because I was anticipating Jase and Carrie's story since the first book. Just like I am looking forward to what is going to happen with Simon more than anyone else.

Jase and Carrie made the perfect team in and out of the bedroom. I went through every emotion that these two experienced while reading this book and didn't put it down until the last word.

All I can say is thank Ms. DePaul and keep'm coming.

Seven Nights in a Rogue's Bed

Seven Nights in a Rogue's Bed by Anna Campbell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have been sitting here trying to figure out what to say about this book. I liked it a lot for the most part. I say for the most part,because all of the back and forth with the Sidonie. She was attracted to this man and she went their to expressly have sex with him anyway, so why act one minute like you want him and the next like your morals are too high to sleep with him.

Now Jonas on the other hand. I loved him he stayed true to himself throughout the entire book. He was a man used to being alone and basically set in his ways until he fell in love with this woman. That was as it should be. Although I didn't like the way he treated her later, because the her "crime" wasn't that severe under the circumstances.

Anyway, I also liked that the subject of spousal abuse came up which it rarely does in these romances. I thought it was important because times were so different back then and we as women didn't have the rights that we do today, so nothing could be done.

All in all it was a good read and a good intro to the other Sons of Sin.

Never Seduce a Scot

Never Seduce a Scot by Maya Banks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. It wasn't as steamy as some of Maya's other novels, but it was definitely just as well written.
I sat here feeling every emotion that Eveline must have been feeling from the very beginning. The love she felt for her family and then Graeme, the shame, anger, disappointment that she felt when she realized exactly what was going on with his (Graeme's) clan members.

That being said she has to be one of the strongest and fiercest heroines that I have had the pleasure to read about in a long while. Eveline is the reason that I loved this story. Yes, I love Graeme and the way that he decided right away not to treat her badly because of her "condition" and because she was innocent from the things that her clan members had done, but Eveline stole the show for me.

I don't want to say to much and give the story away, but I don't want to say that it takes alot for people to try to love one another when there are so many against them, including their own beliefs. Reading this story was a pleasure and I hope to see more from both of the clans.

Love Unscripted

Love Unscripted by Tina Reber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I actually read this review elsewhere, but it said exactly what I was thinking throughout. It is only a small portion of the review written on Goodreads by Katrina Dumsden.

"Now let's talk about how often these dunderheads laugh, chuckle, snicker, giggle, smirk, smile, and grin. Seemingly every sentence uttered ends on a laugh, giggle, or snicker. Ms. Reber couldn't even have the decency to throw in a good "chortle" just to mix things up. But the people in this book laugh so much one can't help wondering if maybe they're high. Or perhaps just simple in the head? At one point, Taryn and Ryan "both smirked and grinned" at each other. I hadn't realized those two things were separate and could be done simultaneously! Who knew?!"

Now that being said, I didn't hate this book, I actually like it quite a lot. I loved that Ryan and Taryn's relationship didn't start with sex on the brain. The a took the time to try to become friends first rather than immediately jumping into bed with one another. Also, it was completely believable that they would have trust issues after having bad relationships with other people. The people who hurt us tend to shape how we respond to others later.

The only other thing is that I thought the story was a bit long for a romance.
