Consent to Love by Abby Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had never heard of Abby Wood until I read this book. I am glad that I know of her now. I enjoyed this book very much, when at first I thought I was going to hate or at least dislike it. When first meeting Ana I thought she was a push over and very naive. I thought Kane was a hypocrite. I was about to put it down and wash my hands with it. I am gladed that I stuck with it.

There has never been two people who belong together more. Kane and Ana were two halves of a whole. I loved that they finally opened up to how they were both feeling. It felt like I could actually feel their emotions right along with them. I felt the same way for the authors description of the love scenes.

When I finished I was hoping there was more. I am going to be looking for more stories by this very talented author in the future,

The White Swan Affair

The White Swan Affair by Elyse Mady
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I really wanted to love this story. I tried very hard. It had the perfect plot and it dealt with an issue(sodomy) that I have never seen another book quite this way. The way everyone treated Hester after Robert's arrest seemed true to form for that period of time. I loved Thomas and how he stuck by her through it all. The thing that kept me from loving it was Robert. He was a judgemental jerk of the first water. Whenever there was a scene in the book with him in it, especially while dealing with Hester, I wanted to skip ahead. I hated the way he treated her and talked down to her. She would never have been in the situation she was in if it wasn't for him.

Anyway, all that being said I didn't love it, but overall I thought it was very well written and maybe the way I felt about Robert at times is the way the author intended readers to fill. All I can say is you will have to read it for your self and see how it make you feel. The fact that I feel so strongly about his behavior in anyway lets me know that I will be reading future works by this author.

I know that my statements seem to contradict one another,but I enjoy reading books that make me feel passionately about something rather in a good way or bad. It means the writer is doing their job.

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.
