Can't Help Falling in Love - Bella Andre

Can't Help Falling In Love: The Sullivans, Book 3 by Bella Andre

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Get ready for another Sullivan bad boy to fall in love in the third book of Bella Andre's bestselling contemporary romance series!



BOOK DESCRIPTION: Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire...and can't stop thinking about.



Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving - and losing - a man with a dangerous job again.



Only, when Gabe and Megan meet again and uncontrollable flames of desire ignite between them, how can he possibly ignore her courage, determination, and beauty? And how can she deny not only his strong bond with her daughter…but the way his sweetly sensual kisses are challenging her to risk everything she’s been guarding for so long?



This winter, if one - or both - of them aren’t careful, they just might end up falling in love.



Gabe was a strong, sexy firefighter who loved children and ended up falling in love with Megan and her daughter. I loved the way Summer played matchmaker. Megan needed to overcome her fear of relationships with men in dangerous jobs, and Gabe was just the man for the job. They made a wonderful couple and a beautiful family. I'm loving these Sullivan men! Gabe stole my heart! Can't wait to see what story Andre writes next!

Forbidden Falls by Robyn Carr

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


VIRGIN RIVER IS ABUZZ WITH THE NEWS THAT A STRANGER BOUGHT THE TOWN'S ABANDONED CHURCH ON EBAY. THE BUYER, A YOUNG WIDOWED REVEREND, IS A LITTLE LIKE THE BUILDING ITSELF: IN NEED OF SOME TENDER LOVING CARE.

Noah Kincaid arrives ready to roll up his sleeves and revitalize his new purchase, but he's going to need some help. An ad in the local paper brings and improbably candidate his way.

"Pastor's assistant" is not a phrase that springs to mind when Noah meets brassy, beautiful Ellie Baldwin. With her colorful clothes and even more colorful past, Ellie needs a respectable job so she can regain custody of her children. Noah can't help but admire her spunk and determination, and she may just be the breath of fresh air he needs.

The unlikely duo may come from two different worlds, but they have more in common than anyone would have expected. And in Virgin River lasting happiness is never out of the question.

Loved this book! Who says a young, strapping minister shouldn't have a normal sex drive? Not me! Noah is a widowed minister who lives to help others, but his heart beats faster when he helps out the good hearted, sexy, and determined Ellie! Ellie has two kids and alot of baggage, but in this heartwarming story the reader gets pulled into what true love really means - it's what's inside, not outside that truly matters and love thrives in unexpected places! One of my favorite books!

Cover Me - by Catherine Mann

Cover Me by Catherine Mann

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The 300 pararescue jumpers (PJs) in the world are the most elite force in the U.S. military, trained in high-risk rescue, and have never been featured in a romantic suspense series.

PJ Wade Rocha is fast roping from a helicopter into a blizzard to rescue stranded climbers when he meets beautiful Sunny Foster, who insists she can take care of herself just fine. As the snowstorm kicks into overdrive, she and Wade must take to the frozen wilderness in a race against time...and their own explosive passions.

Wade was the essence of manliness in this book and Sunny is a tough as nails (but soft at heart) woman who wants to do the right thing by her family. They both unexpectedly fall for each other when things start to get hot in the cold Alaska weather. I loved the way Wade played the protector and Sunny did not want to be protected. It made for an entertaining story. Full of action and mystery as well as romance this book has it all. I thoroughly enjoyed my reading adventure learning more about this brave and sexy pararescue jumper and his feisty unlikely companion, Sunny!

Second Chance Pass - Robyn Carr

Second Chance Pass by Robyn Carr

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


In the space of a few months Vanessa buried her husband, Matt, and gave birth to their son—breaking her heart while filling it with a whole new kind of love. But the one man she longs to share this love with now acts as if she doesn't exist.

Paul Haggerty lives by the marine motto: Semper Fi. Ever faithful to his best friend, he's done right by Matt's widow as best he can…considering he's been secretly in love with her for years. Now, just as he's about to make his move, another woman has staked her claim on him—a claim that will be tough to escape.

With courage, humility and not a little meddling from the good folks of Virgin River, Vanni and Paul might just get a second chance to have the love they both desire and deserve.

This book was not as entertaining as the first three because the book could have easily ended in the middle. Vanni and Paul's story was only part of this book the rest was about the other lives in Virgin River. Paul does not act manly enough for me in this book and Vanni comes off as being a serious pain in the arse. Not one of my favorite of this series. It took me a while to read because I kept losing interest.

Christmas in Cold Creek - RaeAnne Thayne

She claimed to be a waitress and a single mother, but Rebecca Parsons doesn't look like any hash-slinger Pine Gulch Police Chief Trace Bowman has ever seen. And she doesn't seem particularly maternal toward her little girl, either. Still, one look in her vulnerable green eyes and his protective instincts go into overdrive.

Attention from local law enforcement is the last thing Becca needs. She'll do anything to protect her little sister Gabi from their con-artist mother, even lie about their identities. When Trace shows up at their house carrying a Christmas tree and stirring desires she can't afford to indulge, she longs to surrender to the magic of the season with him. But Becca's past is catching up—fast. Can her sexy police chief perform a Christmas miracle?

This book was okay, but I really missed the attraction and romance part. It was in there, yes, but I didn't get a real sense of a strong attraction between the hero and heroine. It seemed Becca was too busy hiding secrets to have a love affair with Trace. I was disappointed that they didn't get together and make the sparks fly like they did when they kissed, supposedly. Other than that, it was a good book. I don't think I'll be reading any more Special Edition Harlequins because they seem to have less romance in them......

Firefighter Under the Mistletoe - Melissa McClone

Firefighter Under the Mistletoe by Melissa McClone

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


For Leanne, infuriatingly charming firefighter Christian Welton is out of bounds. Not only is he too young for her, but his trail of broken hearts is legendary. Leanne's fought hard to be one of the boys, and won't let anyone see that Christian's smile makes her want to melt into his arms!

Christian wanted to discover the softer side of the tough-talking paramedic, but hasn't counted on how much the real Leanne affects him. He's vowed never to settle down, but under the mistletoe it's certainly the season to be tempted.

This was a good book! I loved the way the hard as nails Leanne turned into a girly girl around Christian. She still held her own, but gave into her heart. It really irritated me that Christian hurt her though, and if I were Leanne I would have made him grovel a little more than what she did in the book! It was touching that all the other firefighters took up for Leanne when Christian hurt her. She is an all around terrific heroine!

What Price Paradise - Katherine Allred

What Price Paradise by Katherine Allred

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


All his life Tate McCullom has been taught to be responsible, and he is the very model of what a respectable man should be. Until the night he gets drunk and sleeps with a woman he barely knows.



Now, six weeks later, she's pregnant, alone, and broke. Once again, Tate must take responsibility for his actions, and makes plans to marry his child's mother. There's only one problem...he has to tell his fiancée.



Abby Grayson hasn't had an easy life. As the daughter of the town whore, people either avoid her or think she's like her mother. For Abby, it's a struggle just to fill her belly and keep a roof over her head.



Loneliness and a secret yearning for this man she thought she'd never have led her to spend the night with Tate. But the last thing she needs is a baby when she can barely take care of herself. Desperate, but too proud to ask for help, she finally agrees to accept a job from Tate - the job of being his wife. Now she has almost everything she's ever dreamed of.



Unfortunately, only one thing will gain her Tate's love - his realization that the night he spent with her was no drunken accident. It was a last-ditch attempt to win the woman he really wanted.



I thought this book was brilliant! Easy to read in one sitting it's so good! Tate is a good man and always does the right thing - who would've thought that trait could also be a BAD thing too? Abby is truly down on her luck but not afraid to take help from others if it comes down to that. She is grateful for what she has although it's not much and her love runs deeply for those she truly cares about. I went through a series of emotions when reading this book - sadness, hopefulness, doubt, worry, anger, and happiness! Love the way Allred writes and will be checking out many more of her books from the library soon!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A party-loving sports figure is not an ideal parent in Alexis Brown's eyes. Too bad quarterback Dan Delito is the only parent her niece has.

And soon their uneasy friendship changes into an unlikely romance. But can a football player, a lawyer and a baby really make a family?

I enjoyed reading about a precious bundle of joy who brought an unlikely couple together and in the end everyone has a happy ending! Good read!

The Rancher's Doorstep Baby by Patricia Thayer

Dusty: Wild Cowboy (Harlequin American Romance) by Cathy McDavid

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Loved this book! Dusty was not only a good looking, charming, and smart cowboy but also a caring Father! He did rodeo as his main occupation but wrote novels and screenplays on the side. There's just something super attractive about a sexy cowboy who also knows how to use his brain! One of my favorites!

The Army Ranger's Return - Soraya Lane

The Army Ranger's Return by Soraya Lane

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It takes a strong woman to overcome cancer, but when her pen pal returns from the Army her heart might be in danger of falling for him!
No stranger to heartache, Ryan has seen many lives taken by war and had to live through the heartbreaking task of watching his wife die from cancer. Jessica has been writing him for a while and now he is able to meet her face to face, but can he handle life back in civilization as just a normal man when he's had to be a hero for so long?
Jessica has a secret she is keeping from Ryan to keep from breaking his heart but that secret may be the wedge that drives them apart.....

This was a refreshing change of pace from the cowboys I normally read about. Ryan was kind and unsure at first, but he quickly decided he wanted more from life than the Army. I liked Jessica because she is a survivor of a horrible cancer. She is brave and kind, but I did not like that she kept her secret from Ryan. I guess that is what makes the book worth writing, though - having problems in the story to solve!

This book had tender moments and hot moments, the perfect duo for a perfectly written romance story.

This book was one of my favorites and it had everything a romance should have!

Ranger Daddy - Rebecca Winters

Ranger Daddy by Rebecca Winters

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book was a good read, but I wouldn't say it was great. The hero was an everyday hardworking man who had made his money earlier in his life as a stunt-motorcyclist. He had a past with an ex wife but had no children. It wasn't until Gabi (the heroine) came on the scene running from her dangerous ex husband did he (Jeff, the hero) realize what he was missing. Gabi had a beautiful little girl and was looking for protection from her ex, when she thought of Jeff. Enter hero Jeff. The only thing that I didn't like was Gabi constantly trying to leave. That got a little annoying. I mean, Jeff was trying to do the right thing and protect her, yet she was dumb enough not to let him just do what he thought he could do to help her. I also didn't like that they didn't seem to have any heat between them to build up to a intimate scene after they were married. Instead, they weren't intimate until after they were married (which I am not against), but when the intimate scene was written it was a very dull and flat scene. It was disappointing, considering that he had alot of steamy potential being a sexy man in uniform and all! A good read, but I wouldn't recommend it or read it again!

A Cowboy's Promise - Marin Thomas

A Cowboy's Promise by Marin Thomas

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I thought this was a great story about real life and love in purest form (with a little bit of seduction to keep things interesting). The hero was handsome, caring, down to earth, and hard working. Best of all, he's not afraid to love. He's just a little scared to take advantage of a newly widowed woman with children. The heroine was very convincing and determined to prove that she could stand on her own to feet to provide for her children and keep her farm. Overall, this is one of my favorites!

Logan - Linda Lael Miller

Logan by Linda Lael Miller

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Descendants of the legendary McKettrick family, the Creeds are renowned in Stillwater Springs, Montana—for raising hell…

After years of wandering, Logan Creed, a cowboy with a dusty law degree, has returned home. To put down roots, to restore his family's neglected ranch…to have kids of his own proudly bearing the Creed name.

Divorced mom Briana Grant has heard the stories about her gorgeous neighbor. So Logan's kindness with her young boys is a welcome surprise, especially when her ex reappears. And when an unknown enemy vandalizes her home, Logan shows Briana—and the folks of Big Sky country—just what he's made of.

(Summary from Goodreads.com)

In this book the words flowed easily and the characters were well rounded and well thought out. I liked the book, overall, but was a little disappointed that the brothers were still estranged in the end. There were also parts in the book that were not believable. Other than that, it was a great book to read. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Shelter Mountian - Robyn Carr

Shelter Mountain by Robyn Carr

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


John "Preacher" Middleton is about to close the bar when a young woman and her three-year-old son come in out of the wet October night. A marine who has seen his share of pain, Preacher knows a crisis when he sees one—the woman is covered in bruises. He wants to protect them, and he wants to punish whoever did this to her, but he knows immediately that this inclination to protect is something much more. Paige Lassiter has stirred up emotions in this gentle giant of a man—emotions that he has never allowed himself to feel.

But when Paige's ex-husband turns up in Virgin River, Preacher knows his own future hangs in the balance. And if there's one thing the marines' motto of Semper Fidelis—always faithful—has taught him, it's that some things are worth fighting for.

(Summary from Goodreads.com)

Boy, oh, boy, was this a good book! Carr took a tough guy ex-marine and exposed his heart of gold along with being gentle and caring. That made the hero, Preacher, all the more enticing and sexy to boot! He is one of my favorite characters in this series and Carr did an excellent job conveying the message that true love conquers even the worst of situations! This book is on my favorites list!

Coulda Been A Cowboy - Brenda Novak

Coulda Been A Cowboy by Brenda Novak

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Grandpa Garnier used to say, Love is like a bucking bronco. It takes guts and determination to hang on, but it's worth the ride.

If only Grandpa was around now to help Tyson Garnier out of this mess. The famous pro football player is suddenly saddled with a very public scandal--and an illegitimate child. Tyson needs a good nanny now if he's going to salvage his career. And plain, no-nonsense Dakota Brown is the ideal candidate.

Dakota doesn't care for football--or for a man who doesn't seem to want his own son. But she needs this job, and that precious little baby needs her.

Dakota isn't Tyson's kind of woman. But the more he sees of her--and the more he sees of his son--the harder he wants to hang on.
Summary from Goodreads.com
This book was an enjoyable read and I liked the way the baby brought Tyson and Dakota together. The ending seemed a little rushed and I wish I could have read about them dating more, but then again I guess that wasn't possible because they had the baby! I also don't get how the book got it's title because it only briefly states that he could have been a cowboy. The rest is about his sports career! Overall, an entertaining book!

Here To Stay - Catherine Anderson

Here to Stay by Catherine Anderson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Mandy Pajeck had a tough childhood --- an abusive father, a mother who left, and a younger brother, Luke, who depended on her when she was just a child herself. Now twenty-eight, Mandy remains devoted to Luke and feels responsible for the accident that took his sight. But his complete reliance on her care is making them both miserable. When she meets handsome Zach Harrigan and his mini guide horse, she thinks she's found the ticket to her brother's happiness --- and maybe her own.

Of the five Harrigan siblings, Zach is the hellion who parties hard and takes nothing seriously. But lately his life has felt empty. So, employing his skills as a horseman, he begins training a mini guide horse for the blind, never expecting that the project will lead him to beautiful, tenderhearted Mandy. She's everything he's ever wanted in a woman. But though she's charmed by Zach's patience and compassion, she can't bring herself to fully trust him. And when Zach urges her to confront the truth about her mother's disappearance, the secrets they uncover are so shocking that even Zach's steadfast devotion may not be enough to win Mandy's heart.

*Summary from Goodreads.com*

It was heartwarming and romantic to see how Mandy and Zack fall in love. Despite her sketchy past, Mandy has to do some serious soul searching to have a relationship with Zach. Zach loves Mandy despite all her thorns and she becomes the most beautiful rose that he could ever imagine as she overcomes her fears and past. I loved this book! One of my favorites right up there with all the other cowboy books Anderson writes! Can't wait for the next one!

Ain't Too Proud to Beg by Susan Donovan

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Josie Sheehan collects failed relationships the way some women collect designer handbags. Now, at thirty-five, she has exactly one male in her life: her Labradoodle, Genghis. In fact Josie, along with the three very single women in her dog-walking group, has recently sworn off men, resigning herself to long walks in the park with her devoted, four-legged friend.

All bets are off, however, when she meets Rick Rousseau, a pet-company CEO who is smart, sexy, and, best of all, head-over-heels for Josie. Even Genghis, an excellent judge of character, seems to know that Rick is the real deal. But just when Josie starts to think that she has found something more enduring than puppy love, she discovers that Rick has a complicated past—and a secret that could put the woman he loves in serious danger...
*Summary from Goodreads.com*
Liked this book overall, although it did move slow at parts. The mystery was good and the romance was not over the top, but just enough. I wouldn't say it's the best I've read, but it definitely was not one of the worst.

Anyone But You - Jennifer Crusie

Anyone But You by Jennifer Crusie

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The Barnes & Noble Review
Jennifer Crusie's many fans will be delighted to discover (or rediscover) her wonderful debut novel. It's an exuberant, romantic, and occasionally goofy comedy, with two unlikely love stories. The first is between 40-year-old Nina, happily divorced and looking for a puppy companion, and Fred, an overweight, grumpy basset/beagle spending his last day in the shelter. It's fortunate for everyone that Nina adopts him, since Fred ends up playing unwitting Cupid, introducing Nina to ER doctor Alex Moore, her handsome 30-year-old neighbor. That's where the second love story comes in, but it's not easy. Nina rules out any man 10 years younger, but she's happy to watch old movies with Alex -- night after night after night.



There are a lot of characters to love here, including Nina's best friend, who has a black thumb when it comes to romance, and her 75-year-old neighbor, who's got a very different attitude. As Alex and Nina inch toward romance, neither is willing to make the first move until they discover some basic home truths about the power of unconditional love. Ginger Curwen(less)

(Summary from Goodreads.com)

This book was a light but good romance read. It was original because of the age difference between the man and woman in this book was 10 years apart. I liked that 40-year old Nina gets her groove back with the younger Alex! Great book!

Mine Till Midnight - Lisa Kleypas

Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Even though I normally read contemporary romance instead of historical romance, I really enjoyed reading this historical romance. I was surprised at how easily the story flowed and I love that Amelia and Cam had a love that was pure and yet unusually steamy. Cam always seemed to be in control and believed that fate had brought them together. Amelia was skeptical of fate, but had to admit in the end her love ran deeper than just friends. They give each other heart, body, and soul in this terrific novel that sends the reader back to a time when there were true gentlemen and spinster ladies. I recommend it for romance lovers who have read historical romance. As for those who haven't read historical romance, this one deserves your attention! You may be hooked when you read it! I know I was!

Lieutenant Magdalena Cruz had come home-And though all she wanted was to be alone, infuriatingly handsome Dr. Jake Dalton-of the enemy Daltons-wouldn't cooperate. And she needed him to, because the walls around her heart were dangerously close to crumbling every time he came near.-

Single White Vampire - Lynsay Sands

Single White Vampire by Lynsay Sands

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I thought that Lucern was a little weird at first because he was a little creepy and didn't talk much. As the story went on it was kind of entertaining to see Kate bring him out of his shell. She's out going and he's a recluse. She likes to be around people, he hates it. She does her best to bring out the charming man she knows he can be and not only succeeds, but falls in love while doing so! Great book!

I wish Malone would have opened up more also. I would have like to have read more about the chemistry between Malone and Maggie. It was a little far fetched to see them as a couple but the ending was pretty decent!

Welcome To Temptation - Jennifer Crusie

Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A town with a name like Temptation is bound to be a hotbed of trouble, and Jennifer Crusie knows the perfect way to expose it.


Welcome to Temptation is a deliciously titillating and outlandish mix of scandal, gossip, and small-town politics. Crusie throws in some really hot sex and a dead body or two just for fun, then pits a family of Temptation bluebloods against a family of outsiders whose heritage includes generations of con artists.


When Sophie Dempsey and her sister Amy head to the small town of Temptation, Ohio, to shoot a video with their friend and onetime porn star, the still gorgeous but aging Clea Whipple, Sophie has a premonition of disaster. It's a premonition that grows when Sophie and Amy literally collide with the town's most righteous and outspoken politician before they even get into town. But this car accident, which occurs just below a sign advertising Temptation's commitment to family values, is just the beginning of Sophie's troubles.


When a rumor circulates through Temptation that the women are shooting a porn video, it prompts visits from several townsfolk, including Temptation's very sexy mayor, Phineas Tucker. Sophie finds the mayor's charms irresistible and succumbs to a bit of indulgent sex she figures will be a one-night stand. But that one night leads to another...and another...and another...with some mornings and afternoons thrown in for good measure. And despite their best intentions, neither Sophie nor Phin seems able to give up their sessions of mind-blowing, "headbanging" sex.


With an election right around the corner and a Tucker family legacy that includes many generations of mayors, the pressure is on Phin to keep Temptation on an even keel and his own reputation unsullied. But his biggest opponent, Stephen Garvey, is determined to bring Phin down, by hook or crook. And Phin's mother, who will stop at nothing to see the family legacy carried on, inadvertently aids Garvey through her attempts to keep Sophie and Phin apart.


Meanwhile, a Hollywood porn king comes to town and woos Garvey's young daughter. Clea's sleazy ex-husband, a nosy, blackmailing onetime newscaster, shows up armed with some very interesting facts about several people in town. And Sophie's brother, whose talents as a scam artist are unparalleled, shows up to defend his sister's honor. As if things aren't crazy enough, when a dead body turns up on a riverside dock, the finger of suspicion points in several directions at once. And suddenly Sophie realizes her premonition is about to come true in a very deadly way.


What with the gossip, the politics, and the healthy sexual appetites, Temptation is one busy little town. Crusie populates it with some of the most intriguingly quirky characters ever to walk the pages of a book. The repartee between Sophie and Phin is quick-witted and bawdy, the sex deliciously kinky. Crusie keeps the action zipping, the sex sizzling, and the laughs plentiful. She has all the eccentricities of a small town down pat, right down to the stunningly brilliant punishment delivered to the town's killer.


Temptation, whether it be the town or the sin, is perverse, pernicious, and one heck of a lot of fun.

—Beth Amos

(From Goodreads.com)

This book was an excellent story of romance and mystery! It had everyday people in it and the alpha male wasn't rich, but he was with the woman purely because he was attracted to her and loved her! I loved this book!

Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


MacKayla Lane’s life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she’s your perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman. Or so she thinks…until something extraordinary happens.

When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death–a cryptic message on Mac’s cell phone–Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers. The quest to find her sister’s killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed–a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae….

As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister’s death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane–an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women–closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac’s true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book–because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their hands…

This book was a good read and hard to put down. The story draws you in and keeps you captivated, waiting for whats around the bend!

Knock Me Off My Feet by Susan Donovan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Autumn Adams never planned to follow in her mother's footsteps as Chicago's answer to Martha Stewart—she can't cook, doesn't clean, and would rather play soccer than discuss the joys of white bathtub grout. Then some lunatic starts sending her threats in the mail and Audie finds herself under the protection of simmering, sexy Detective Stacey Quinn, a man determined to examine her every nook, cranny, and ex-boyfriend in his effort to find the stalker. A disarming combination of macho cop and sweet charmer, Quinn is hard to resist. But with Audie's bad luck at finding and holding on to Mr. Right, she think it's best to keep her distance...

Quinn soon discovers that the real Audie is an alluring blend of fantasy babe and tender-hearted female all wrapped up in what he can only hope is leopard-print underwear. She's not what he's always pictured for himself, but could she be everything he'll ever need?

Digging through Audie's many layers could turn out to be the hottest, craziest, sexiest bit of detective work Quinn has ever attempted...if it doesn't kill him first.

What do you get when you have a neat freak, sexy, attentive cop and a messy, clumsy, tenderhearted television star? You get one helluva romance that literally knocks you off your feet!

Word Gets Around by Lisa Wingate

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I didn't think much about this book at all because it was so boring! It had a good story line but it was all shot to pieces because Wingate went into too much detail too the point of exhaustion! It was nice that she could be so descriptive, but it was to the point where it no longer held my interest and I was just skipping page after page of unnecessary information! I will not read this book again and was disappointed in it. Someone needs to write a book that is christian but not so boring! This is why I don't read christian books, but I thought I'd give this one a try anyway. Big mistake!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

And instead of a bride, she's an eternal bridesmaid — which leads her to question where exactly her relationship with her irresistibly sexy sire, Gabriel, is headed.

While Jane is trying to master undead dating, she is also donning the ugliest bridesmaid's dress in history at her best friend Zeb's Titanic-themed wedding. Between a freaked-out groom-to-be, his hostile werewolf in-laws, and Zeb's mother, hell-bent on seeing Jane walk the aisle with Zeb, Jane's got the feeling she's just rearranging the proverbial deck chairs.

Meanwhile, Half Moon Hollow's own Black Widow, Jane's Grandma Ruthie, has met her match in her latest fiancé. He smells like bad cheese and has a suspicious history of dead spouses. But Jane's biting her tongue. After all, would a nice girl really think she has a future with a vampire?\
(summary from Goodreads.com)

I enjoyed this book, but it moved a little slow because there was a lack of mystery and anticipation. It was a predictable book. That being said, it was still well written even though I had to skip over some boring parts. A very likeable book with a little humor and romance!
