<br />
4 / 4.5 Stars <br />
Arthur Campbell AKA the Ranger and Anna McDougall, what an unlikely pair.<br />
Anna is the daughter of the man that murdered Arthur's father when he was a boy, so there are good reasons to resist the attraction. But this makes for great sexual tension.<br />
<br />
Arthur/Ranger goes undercover for the Highland Guard as a knight for the enemy. His mission; to get as close to John of Lorn/ John McDougall (bad guy & Anna's father) as possible and ultimately destroy him so that Bruce (the good guy) moves in to conquer more territory for Scotland. But he sees Anna McDougall and its suddenly becomes 'mission impossible' for him.<br />
<br />
Arthur is the strong, quite type, who's tall, gorgeous and of course rippling with muscle - would we have them any other way? No. Anna is the blond/brunette who was blessed with an ample bosom and a very strong character, but with an unfortunate blind hero worship of her Father (the bad guy).<br />
<br />
The tension between to the two characters is fun and exciting, especially as Anna works her hardest to get as close to Arthur as she can. Arthur doing all he can to avoid Anna, and stop thinking about her breasts, which becomes quite hard when she does seem to be serving them up for him.<br />
<br />
The hurdles this couple face reaches a climax when Anna realises who Arthur is -she's a smart cookie- and confronts him. But I was really impressed with how it played out, the characters and the eventual conclusion.<br />
These stories are deeply set in history and although I found it confusing, I feel that Monica did a really great job in giving every character and story as much depth as possible.. <br />
Furthermore, not everything is always perfect in a happily ever after and there are some things that people can't forgive or forget. To avenge his father is something that Arthur <b>has</b> to go through with to feel as though he has succeeded in his life long mission, but that is so much more complicated now, with his love for Anna McDougall. How could he murder the father of the woman he loves without it destroying <i>everything.</i> <br />
What is the past really worth, and will you let it control your future. What is more important.<br />
<br />
Great story and I was happy to be reading about a heroine with an ample bosom.. bout time!

I was really excited about this Graphic Novel and then the release date came and went and nothing happened, then the cover was never confirmed and still I waited and waited and waited, and just as I was about to give up was sent an e-mail to say that it had been released. So when I got it and opened it up to find that it was drawn the way it was, lets just say, I was very disappointed.<br />
<br />
I like the idea of turning YA novels into a graphic medium, its creative and opens it up to a potentially larger demographic. But what I do not like, is when they split the story in half - therefore a blatant money making exercise - and then make the characters nothing like the story. It should be an extension of the story not some twisted sexual big boobed (with nipples might I add) 'graphic' novel in the sense than no one owns a bra and our heroine Nora is pictured like some sort of sexy, provocative, high school student. *shakes head*<br />
I got as far as the part where Nora goes to Bo's Arcade to speak with Patch and she is drawn sitting on the pool table in her frilly undies and cocks her thigh up because she is practically sitting on the 8 ball. The next page has a picture where the underside of her buttock is drawn in because her frilly short/skirt/underwear is so short.<br />
<br />
Vee, Nora's friend was so toned down, I thought it was a man until I saw her huge breasts.<br />
Furthermore, Nora looks like a blonde in the drawings and she is a red head, is she not? And what is with the headband? Are we Bella? I just really didn't like it, the drawings were too rough, too masculine and way too sexual for that story. Especially since nothing even remotely adult ever happens.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong the artist is extremely talented and I still love this story, but I just don't think this adds to her franchise, the story and the artist just don't match.<br />
<br />
The 1 star is for the bonus story at the back.J-mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16076736500683498153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74108120870684720.post-43355925789506867462012-03-31T19:16:00.000+08:002012-03-31T19:16:52.514+08:00<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>The Immortals After Dark Series </b></div>
by Kresley Cole<br />
<br />
A series that has it all. Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Berserkers, Ghosts and Valkyrie and these are just the good guys. I started with 'A Hunger Like No Other' (technically book 2) but it was like jumping in the pool on a hot summers day and the water is beautiful and refreshing.<br />
Cole has created a huge universe for her characters and some unbelievable personalities that have you giddy to get to their book.<br />
<br />
Each book has its own separate story within this universe and its fun to see which characters are going to end up finding their 'mate' and what new kinds of characters will be introduced. But all the characters pop up in each book and as each story is told you learn more about their history and their different species.<br />
<br />
It's very much like watching a TV Show, but with lots of sex, bad language, trash talk, violence, more sex, some very impressive special effects, time travel, sexual tension so thick you choke on it, comedy, more violence and more sex... Damn when is HBO going to knock on Kresley's door.. come on!!!<br />
You know you would watch it! You're nodding aren't you?<br />

This is where it all starts, the Origin of the Valkyrie..<br />
<br />
<i>"When a maiden warrior screams for courage as she dies in battle, Woden and Freya hear her call. The two gods give up lightning to strike her, rescuing her to their hall, and preserving her courage forever in the form of the maiden's immortal Valkyrie daughter."</i><br />
<br />
These Valkyrie are some pretty awesome chicks, they take sustenance from electrical energy of the earth and also project their strong emotions through lightning. They have preternatural strength and speed, are all drop dead gorgeous, and kick some serious ass. They also like their men big, mean, rough and beefy. Where do I sign up?<br />
<br />
Myst the Coveted One is a Valkyrie, locked in a dungeon by Ivo the Cruel, and since there is no HBO she is watching a battle for Mt Oblak Castle from her cell window, when she sees Nikolai Wroth, the Warlord, slaughtering his way through his enemies, but always keeping one eye on her at her cell window.<br />
Nikolai is a Vampire, but a Forbearer, meaning he doesn't drink blood directly from the flesh. Wroth has never seen anything like Myst before. Not only that, Myst bloods him, meaning she gives his dead Vampire body life again, makes his heart beat, his body warm, his lungs to breathe and his loin to-a-stir... She is his Bride.<br />
<br />
But you see Myst is not interested because she is trying to escape. So after some rather unorthodox interrogating and her little lapse in judgement in her cell with Wroth is cut short, by her rescue party. Which means Myst leaves poor Wroth in a rather uncomfortable situation, if you <i>know</i> what I mean. And because she is his Bride and she leaves him with a tiny taste of her blood he will remain in that 'state' forever until she can give him release.<br />
<br />
5 Years later and Nikolai is still hunting for Myst. So what ensues is some awesome cat and mouse chase and finally Nikolai gets his hot <i>hot </i>revenge on Myst.<br />
It's a great start and will most certainly wet your appetite for more of Kresley Cole's unreal stories.<br />

The second book in the 'Immortals After Dark Series' and a fantastic story. I actually read this one first, but it was all go from the start.<br />
Lachlain MacRieve the leader of the Lykae Clain has just chewed/bitten/severed his own leg to escape a prison after catching the scent of his mate, Emmaline.<br />
<br />
Emmaline a half Valkyrie, half vampire, is his mate. But she's terrified of Lachlain, he runs her down in a park and tears off her blouse just to feel her skin against his own. Emmaline is sweet and innocent and just so happens to have family ties to the Evil Lord that locked up Lachlain for countless centurys' in never ending torture, so you can imagine the family issues this couple has.<br />
<br />
The story centres around Emmaline and Lachlain building a trust of one another. Lachlain needs to claim Emmaline at the next Full Moon to complete their mating. Our heroine knows that he will break her and so she does everything she can to resist his persistent seduction. She is smart and cunning and she tries to escape, only to get caught up enjoying the chase.<br />

<br />
I know I know, its been... well (counts out the months) five months.. wow that <i>is</i> a long time indeed.<br />
I have over 20 books next to me that I have not reviewed from last year and its killing me.<br />
<br />
Lots has happened since October 2010, I managed to complete my reading challenge, (well technically I had to reduce it from 70 to 65, because I moved into my new house and 'reading time' was non-existent) of 65 books in one year. I did finally get to the end of it though. ;)<br />
<br />
This year I am taking smaller bites.<br />
My challenge is at 30 books for 2012, and I am already 3 books ahead. yay!<br />
<br />
So there will be lots of updates coming through..<br />

Bitterblue</span></b> by <u>Kristin Cashore!!!</u><br />
<br />
The cover has<i> finally</i> and I mean FINALLY been revealed!!<br />
<br />

<br />
I am a mad (obsessed) fan of Kristin Cashore's writing, and like all her fans have been waiting patiently for any news on Bitterblue, a scrap, and tiny morsel of goss..<br />
<br />
Then, one morning as I was checking out my 'Coming Soon' list on GoodRead and *BAM* this <b>beauty</b> was sitting in my list!!<br />
Well, to say I did a very lady like squeal at my desk is the polite way of describing my reaction.<br />
<br />
It's fabulous, and it's 500+ pages!!! I am in heaven!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It matches the theme of Fire and Graceling, which I love. The Cover artist is <a href="http://www.rostant.com/">Larry Rostant</a> who is a photographic genius!!<br />

So... Deep breath!<br />
September and October have been a<b> massive</b> book buying month..<br />
A few old pre-orders (9) from back in May ended up in here, but October has to be the biggest release month of the year...<br />
Admittedly, there are a few books that I never expected to see in BigW, like <i>'Blood Red Road'</i> (I nearly sucked all the oxygen from the shop when I spotted that), and <i>'Froi of the Exiles'</i> that's been a while coming, and it is a beautiful big book!!<br />
<i>'Hades'</i> was released with a horrid cover, so an order to BookDepository had to be made and to get the<b> good </b>cover, but it ended up being hardback.. :) oh well.<br />
<br />
Now, to find the time to read them all.. Bring on that holiday!! :)<br />

<b>How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf</b> by <u>Molly Harper</u> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"> <b>3.5 Stars</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mo and Cooper, definitely have enough sexual tension between them to fuel a TV series for at least 6 seasons!! I love the '<i>I hate him, but he makes my panties combust'</i> relationships..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mo has moved to Grundy, Alaska to start a new life and everyone in town is friendly and nice, except for Cooper. Cooper is tall, dark and gorgeous, but grouchy and unfriendly to Mo, he sees her as another tourists on a quest to 'find herself' which usually ends with the person leaving Alaska disappointed and this obviously has a big impact on the small town.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So the attraction between the two characters is great, and I loved the dialogue, there are some fabulous one liners.. I really enjoyed reading Mo's sarcasm and her musings, and Cooper as a Werewolf is lovely. It was a good story, and Molly put a lot of effort building her world and setting, obviously she plans for more in this series, perhaps. </div>
<div>
But the only thing that I found was lacking was the 'nitty gritty'.. Seriously there is all this tension, all this build up and you are expecting fireworks, the pages should be too <i>hot</i> to handle!... And it was a big let down, I was really disappointed that there wasn't more too it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With stories that build sexual tension in the context of <i>'love/hate/you irritate the crap out of me/I can't stop kissing you'</i> - need, must have mind blowing sex.. not glaze over it.. It's like going to a Die Hard movie and then sitting down to watch the bad guy walk out and surrender to Bruce Willis before he has even had the opportunity to blow anything up!! No one wants that!</div>J-mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16076736500683498153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74108120870684720.post-48504710260203952632011-10-17T16:08:00.000+08:002011-10-17T16:08:16.566+08:00Best Cover of 2012<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><b>Girl of Nightmares</b></span><span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-size: large;">by Kendare Blake</span></span><br />

<br />
Isn't it just awesome??!! I am in love with this cover already!! I didn't think you could top the eerie beauty of the first 'Anna Dressed In Blood' oh but I think they did!!<br />
<br />
Kendare certainly has a wonderful creative art department working on her fabulous books!!<br />
<br />
I just find myself wanting to take her hand... that one eye peeking through her hair... .<i>.that's it, I'm gone!!</i><br />

<br />
Abandon by Meg Cabot is my first experience with Cabot's writing. This story in particular was a little confusing for me and after a while got me frustrated. It was the style in which it was written, as though it was going backwards giving you brief flashes of what happened, and then zooming forward with lots of holes left in between. Which for me just got annoying, because nothing was really full explained and I felt like it was dragged out a little too much. <br /><br />Pierce, what a troubled girl, she has drowned and ends up in the Underworld with John aka the Lord of the underworld, but the odd thing is... that she's met John before, when she was little and her grandfather had died. This is obviously what our story is revolving around, Pierce and John. As the Greek legend of Hades and Persephone goes, Persephone is kidnapped by Hades and taken to the underworld to be his bride. <br /><br />This is loosely based around parts of that myth. I liked the character of John, he was melodramatic and intense, Pierce was a little wishy washy and sometimes I really wanted to smack her upside the head with my book out of sheer frustration at her stupidity. But thats my personal opinion. The story did get a little predictable which also added to my irritation. And then just as it seemed to be getting somewhere and I was starting to enjoy it again, it completely changed tactics.. It went from Pierce overwhelmed with just kissing John for the first time, to her looking at his bed and thinking about how much she wanted to 'thank' him.. and I was left thinking... 'woah, hold your horses!!' you only kissed the boy yesterday and now you are thinking about his bed and ergo sex.. luckily it ended there and I was not forced to stomach anymore chopping and changing.. <br />I can see that there will easily be a sequel.. umm, yeah, let me know how that goes.. <br /><br />I hope Meg Cabots other stories are better, cause I own some of her books..J-mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16076736500683498153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74108120870684720.post-24611849987417549242011-09-15T21:25:00.002+08:002011-09-15T21:26:27.372+08:00Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Anna Dressed in Blood</span></b> by <u>Kendare Blake</u> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">5+ Stars</span></div>
<br />
If you think the cover is beautiful (which it is), then you wait until you read the story!!<br />
<br />
<i>'Girls, on the other hand, have always come easy. I don't know why that is, exactly. Maybe it's the outsider vibe and a well-placed brooding look. Maybe it's something I think I see sometimes in the mirror, something that reminds me of my father. Or maybe I'm just damn easy on the eyes.'</i><br />
<br />
Love Cas, his personality and inner monologue is fantastic!!.. Theseus Cassio Lowood, a Ghost Hunter NOT a Ghost Buster!! Instead of breaking hearts he's vanquishing spirits, sending the evil spirits away. He saving people and they don't even know it! And seriously, with an outstanding name like that could you expect anything less than total awesomeness!!!!<br />
Anna, Anna Korlov AKA <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4086715.Kendare_Blake">Anna Dressed In Blood</a> - utterly grotesque, wicked, scary, confusing, vulnerable, strong, beautiful and terrible!!<br />
<br />
This new Teen Horror from Kendare really stands out, not just because it's horror but it's really GOOD and because it's delving into a tried and test genre that is successful with teens and YA demographic!! Buffy, Charmed, Supernatural, Twilight, Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf .. the list goes on. If it works, go with it people!!<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed the 1st Person POV because it made me feel like I was literally watching/reading a movie, there wasn't any crap that is page filler, it was all go, go, go. I immediately felt like I was watching an episode of Supernatural, with Dean or Sam, driving along looking gorgeous and kicking ass. But his confidence is tested (beaten to a pulp) when Cas and his mother move to Thunder Bay to hunt Anna Korlov - Anna Dressed In Blood and end her killing spree. But will Cas' strength and skill beat enough to overcome whats in hiding in that house!!<br />
Oh, it was great how <a href="http://kendareblake.com/">Kendare</a> managed to slip romance in between the pages of murder and dismemberment given that the story really and truly is <i>'Boy meets girl. Girl kills People story</i>'.. I'm still smiling!<br />
<br />
Definitely read it, I think Kendare has only just started (what a start) and will very quickly become a very popular YA author, with us readers scrambling over eachother for her next story!!<br />
<br />
That cover.. I just love it!!<br />

Admittedly, it's been some time since I was reading the Dark Hunter series, and they are well written to allow the reader the ability of chopping and changing, more freedom with the series. Although they aren't so gripping that you are just dying to get to the next one.<br />
<br />
Wren Tigarian is a Tigard, which basically means he is half snow leopard and half white tiger, with a splash of gorgeous blonde male mixed in. He's a hybrid, and a freak in this Were-Hunter world, temperamental and lonely. He works at Sanctuary (Bar) and keeps to himself, lone tigard. One night he meets Maggie (Senator's Daughter) at Sanctuary where he busses tables, and there is an attraction between them. The story basis was nice, again delving into the characters past as most of the Dark Hunter stories tend to do, though not as far as previous stories. This concept isn't redundant, its unavoidable with how long these guys live. I was pleasantly surprised at the change in story arc, we are dealing with the inhabitants of the Sanctuary and steering away from the Dark Hunters and Acheron which is nice and refreshing. Not that I don't lurve Ash!<br />
<br />
Kenyon always sets up some huge insurmountable barrier for both characters to overcome for their love, it's always over the top and its perfectly fitting for the incredibly dramatic and action packed world she has created. This world is so big, I find myself getting lost sometimes. If this was ever put on the TV screen it would run longer than Frasier, there is so much potential an avid TV viewer or Producer, would salivate. There is a glossary in the back of the book if you ever get lost with the Arcadians and the Katagaria's and their switcheroo, which happens to me all the time, but the story keeps flowing even if you gloss over that technical side of the argument.<br />
<br />
I liked the time travel part of the story, it was a nice twist. However I find that Kenyon tends to set her stories up with the same palette, changing the names and tweaking the circumstances for every book. Shaking things up with Nick Gautier in the previous books was great and at least reflects on her that she doesn't always write her characters path's down the easy road. I am sure there is allot more craziness on its way with the series and each story just makes it juicier and juicier.J-mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16076736500683498153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74108120870684720.post-77220631489355912542011-09-02T21:45:00.000+08:002011-09-02T21:45:25.584+08:00Review<b>Changing the Game</b> by <u>Jaci Burton</u> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"><b>5 Stars</b></span><br />

WOW!! Excuse me while I rub the book all over me... haha<br />
<br />
Gavin (Pro Baseball Player) and his agent Elizabeth have known each other for years, but since Gavin's brother Mike, fired Elizabeth (<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8341567-the-perfect-play">The Perfect Play</a>) a distance between the friends, client/agent has developed. This is mainly because Elizabeth has been madly in love with Gavin for about 5+ years and since Mike fired her she is terrified that Gavin will do the same. Elizabeth doesn't sleep with or date her clients and it's her job to make sure men like Gavin are sleeping with or seen with as many hot actresses as possible.<br />
<br />
I didn't really like Elizabeth in the first book Play by Play, but I was wrong because Jaci Burton has certainly created some juicy characters. Gavin confronts Elizabeth about her avoiding him, not planning a seduction but then he can't seem to help his attraction to her when she finally (and literally) lets her hair down and spends some time (not work related), with him.<br />
<br />
..Then the conversation starts to shift, there is some sneaky ogling going on and soon neither one can deny the attraction any longer...<i> hot</i> craziness ensues<br />
<br />
<i>"I don't have sex with my clients, Gavin."</i><br />
<i>His lips quirked. "You want me to fire you so I can f*ck you?"</i><br />
<i>Her body was going up in flames. Why was he doing this to her?</i><br />
<i>"Not particularly."</i><br />
<i>"Do you want me to f*ck you?"</i><br />
<br />
And this is only page 15, folks!!.. :D<br />
<br />
This book is <b>HOT</b>, it's slide off your seat hot, and with a great story to boot..<br />
<br />
Drama obviously ensues and Gavin is a bit of a dick (huge dickhead actually) but, I was so pleased that Elizabeth reacted the way she did. She was smart and strong and didn't allow someone to continually hurt her, she made her decision.<br />
I LOVED that Elizabeth didn't melt at the first apology or half baked 'sorry' from Gavin, she went through hell and I was immensely satisfied that Gavin goes through the same.<br />
Fantastic ending, I re-read it a couple of times!!<br />

Another of the Goddess Summoning series, this was based losely on The Little Mermaid.<br />
<br />
This was good, the story of Christine Canady a US Air Force Seargeant who, through an accident ends up switching bodies with a Mermaid -Princess Undine -and enters a different world. A world of fantasy and magic, where she meets the Goddess Gaea (Earth).<br />
<br />
But CC is a Mermaid for maybe 8 hours before she asks the Goddess Gaea to change her into a Human to find her true love. Which is fine, she meets a prince on land and she plays the damsel routine, but then at night when she has to go back to the water and become a Mermaid (every 3 days), she meets Dylan the Merman who protects her.<br />
They fall in love, but the thing that I didn't quite get was, why did she bother getting changed back into a human at all, why didn't she just stay a Mermaid with Dylan and they could have gotten old Daddy-o (Lir, God of the Seas) to sort out Sarpedon (bitch slap him back to his clam shell), at like Chapter 5. But I suppose you miss all the drama.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I did enjoy the story, apart from the fact that I felt half of it wasn't really necessary. The end was worth reading 300 odd pages to get to.<br />
<br />
Nice story, but I prefer Disney's Little Mermaid - Sebastian "Kiss de girl! sing with me now, shala la la la..."<br />

Well Brent is a hero you lust after, then you love him, then you hate him, then you want to kick him in the nut sack, repeatedly, then you love him and want to do anything for him.... <i>"Oh, Brent, please take me now!!!"</i><br />
<br />
Caroline is a Botanist, she is some what of a Genius at breeding flowers, and mathematics. But alas, she is a woman and it's not acceptable to have breasts and brains back then. Caroline is one of five blonde delicate daughters, and she's the only brunette and the only un-married one, who dreams of leaving to New York to study further in her field. But Dad has different plans, and more or less sells her to Brent, so they get married, and the sexual tensions starts to build.<br />
Brent is very intense, with his shocking honesty and blatant desires pushing Caroline to rise up and verbally spar with him, proves she is certainly not push over. This intensity only makes it juicier and only adds to the tension between them as she is not just going to lie down and take it. (pardon the pun)<br />
<br />
I didn't connect as much with Brent and Caroline as I have with previous couples, but that doesn't mean they weren't great. The chemistry was great and the sex was hot, but I think Brent repeated telling Caroline that he will never love her, kind of made me raise my armour around him, and so I never quite warmed..<br />
<br />
I will say that when Brent discovers what Caroline had planned to do, which was leave him, the <i>serve</i> he gives her, is without a doubt the most heart wrenching, hurtful and cold I have read, it was <b>fantastic!!</b> Oh he is such a bastard to her, stomping all over her heart with his big muddy boots. When she is realistically 90% innocent and only 10% guilty, but he won't even let her get a word in.<br />
I think this made it difficult for me to actually forgive Brent, to be honest I was actually reading it thinking <i>"I would tell him to go and f*#@ himself!!"</i>... I guess I was a little more hurt by Brent, than Caroline was.<br />
<br />
Anyway, personal feelings aside, Caroline remains a strong heroine despite being married off to a complete stranger, her life plans and ambitions thrown away and then inevitably falling in love with him.<br />
<br />
The ending was great though, and Brent definitely earns his points back, but I can't help but feel that Caroline should have kicked Brent in the nut sack, at least once..!! <i>he deserved it, trust me!</i><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Page 8... Holly is a widow and she has attended a ball, and gone into a private room to catch her breath and escape all the people and their pitiful stares. In the dark she is suddenly captured by a dark shadow of a man. Oh and he kisses the life out of her, but just as things are really starting to cook up a frenzy, Kleypas drops this line in as this mystery man has just taken her in his arms and kissed her unexpectedly. <i>"She jerked in startled reaction, amazed and horrified and abruptly furious... he had taken away George's last kiss"</i></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">That just kills me. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Lisa gives her characters depth, even her dead ones. She doesn't skimp on the story, or the the relationship building. She never sets things up to simply fall together, she always puts some kind of obstacle in their way. It always believable and worthy.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Holly, a widow with a very young daughter, Rose. Zachary Bronson, very rich but doesn't have blue blood required to be accepted in the right social circles. He hires Holly to teach him and his sister Elizabeth. Holly wishing to be free of her controlling in-laws and desiring her independence accepts the position. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Well the sexual tension just builds exponentially from the day she moves in.</span></span><br />

I felt as though she had a similar personality to Bridget Jones, always managing to humiliate herself, but doesn't let it destroy her resolve. She was a strong grounded female, no ways a damsel. Venus is just the trick for her self confidence, like a fairy godmother. Who wouldn't want one of those??<br />
<br />
It's a tried and tested story that still works in this lovely modern twist. Venus is summoned by Pea to help her find her inner goddess. And to help her win a <b>man</b>. Pea is infatuated with her neighbour the hunky, manly man of muscles and chief Fireman, Griffin. But Pea is not right for Griffin but, crushes are crushes, and this is what makes the story more interesting.<br />
<br />
Venus the Goddess of love is married (platonically) to Vulcan the God of Fire and <i><b>this</b></i> guy is definitely someone you want warming your sheets... giggles!!<br />
Venus has no problem with asking direct questions about peoples masturbating habits or sexual habits and it makes for some hilarious moments, but obviously, <b>Venus is the Goddess of Sensual Love, Beauty and the Erotic Arts</b>, so sex and love and pleasure are what she <i>literally is</i>, so she doesn't understand why people get all embarrassed.. Vulcan, the imperfect God of Olympus watches Venus with Pea and finds himself captivated by Pea... Interested peeked yet??

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">This book was not what I expected, it was worse!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Maggie Pierce the heroine, is portrayed as a lovely witty creature, who previously fell in love with Edward when their mutual friends' (Elizabeth and Rand the Duke of Bellingham) marriage was arranged. Edward then leaves the country unexpectedly and Maggie is left quite hurt because she had fallen in love with Edward and he didn't even say goodbye. In the mean time her father has stolen and embezzled money from their friends (nice guy) and landed himself in jail. So, Maggie and her dimwitted mother Harriet, are destitute and don't want anyone to know until Maggie can secure herself a wealthy husband. She is invited to stay with Elizabeth whilst she is pregnant and keep her amused for over the Christmas (I guess christmas was in this book somewhere, it was lost amongst the waffle)</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">In comes Edward, back to see his friend Rand & Elizabeth with his sister, Amelia, in tow. This seems to be a good setup, obviously the story will now start to grow with some serious interaction between Maggie and Edward. But this isn't what happens. Instead, Maggie flirts openly with every man she can find, purposely and coldly in front of Edward. She knowingly setups up one man and pretends to want his advances, all the while repulsed by the mere thought of him kissing her, that and he is older than her father.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Edward and Maggie hardly have any interaction or conversation in this book. It's full of memories, inner turmoil about the past , which creates nothing new for the story to grow on and makes you wonder why the Author didn't write that book instead of this. Maggie flirts allot, coldly and purposely, which I think was awful, because it's obvious Edward loves her and it doesn't portray her as a very nice person. Furthermore, she lies herself into circles.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">In the middle of all this, her mother is going round the twist, her friend is pregnant, Edward apparently asks Maggie and her mother to chaperone his sister Amelia. To which they fail miserably, they are too busy and interested in their own pursuits, to the point that Maggie doesn't even realise her mother hasn't been seen for hours and never even arrived at the party. Edwards sister is practically sleeping with some redneck texan Carson- who keeps trying to force her to have sex (I don't want to read about that) - and he doesn't even care, he lets him stay with them. When Maggie finally gets Edward she pushes him away and rejects him, then rejects everyone and leaves..</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">She ends up on a ship, that sinks, and the drama doesn't stop here folks. She heads back to New York with a gun to kill a man that wronged in the past regarding her Father and his imprisonment. But wait! Surviving the shipwreck has given Maggie an epiphany and after she visits her father she decides to just yell at the guy instead of shoot him. rolls eyes!!! Then comes back to England to try and get Edward back after she kicked him to the curb. Maggie's mother Harriet, with her big mouth, almost ruins everything. If it had been me, I would have flung mashed potato in the woman's face to shut her up!!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Then the Epilogue isn't about our two lovers, oh no, it's about Edwards sister, Amelia and her Texan beau, and how she has been waiting 6 months for a letter from him to ask her to marry him and to go to Texas, but she is so dense she still hasn't realised that they guy hasn't written for her because he doesn't want her to come.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">This was all over the place, it goes from Maggie barely being able to stop herself from running and kissing Edward, to being a total bitch to him. The story was so messy, I couldn't even remember where people were. I felt the strong desire to throw the book down and give up, but forced myself to finish it, I am a glutton for punishment. It was the huge arms, they sucked me in!!</div>J-mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16076736500683498153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74108120870684720.post-63094634825550345092011-07-03T15:53:00.001+08:002011-07-03T15:54:38.048+08:00Review<b>Gone</b> by <u>Lisa McMann</u> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;"><b> 3 stars</b></span><br />

I was expecting something else, and it really felt like the epilogue to 'Fade'. That's essentially what it could have been.<br />
<br />
The writing was great, everything was up to the standards of the last two, I just felt as though the Author wanted to wrap things up nicely, almost a 'happily ever after' with issues..<br />
<br />
The idea of the 'no win' situation was good, that really there was no magical solution to her problems and that she could run or stay and fight hard. Her boyfriend Cabel can't deal with all the issues on hand but I think he is a bloody prince for at least trying and sticking it out. He has terrible nightmares which Janie is inadvertently sucked into and they display all the issues that he can't talk about. This creates a void between him and Janie and it grates on her that Cabel won't talk about their doomed future. But Janie herself doesn't talk to Cabel about what she is thinking, about what she really wants, their both guilty of that. <br />
<br />
I feel the author had left herself the opportunity to write a third book, whether it was necessary... well you be the judge of that.<br />
<br />
There is a FREE online story by Lisa McMann which is told from Cabel's POV. It's from Wake when he first discovers Janie's secret. <a href="http://www.simonandschuster.com/admin_assets/1257_Cabel_s_Story_Final.pdf">Click here for Cabel's Story</a>J-mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16076736500683498153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74108120870684720.post-29852303046024717012011-07-03T15:16:00.000+08:002011-07-03T15:16:29.230+08:00Review<b>About A Dragon</b> by <u>G.A.

Aiken</a>.<br />
This story revolves around Briec (the arrogant) and Talaith (the stubborn argumentative one.) who is a witch, well a dabbling witch, that is rescued by Briec, just as she is being hanged in the very beginning. Taking her away from her sad and horrible life with the intention to more or less bed her as he sees fit and then discard her once the romping is done and he gets bored of her. Talaith, being a strong independent heroine, will have none of this, which makes for some funny dialogue.<br />
<br />
I liked everything about the story, the conflict, the sex, the arguments, the characters, the adventure, the interlinking with other characters to build on the next books. I just felt that it went a little longer than necessary.<br />
<br />
Book 1 <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3295695-dragon-actually">'Dragon Actually'</a> was in fact two stories in one book. The characters from the first story features again in 'About A Dragon'. Fearghus and Annwyl, who are always amusing and shag as much as these two do, maybe even more. I am surprised any of these women can actually walk, let alone site down without wincing.. Anyway, I guess that's why they call it fiction.<br />
<br />
I really like the story of Morfyd and Brastias, I hope there is more built on this romance in the next books..<br />
<br />
I just wish they had better titles.. hmm, no judgement, only criticism!!J-mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16076736500683498153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74108120870684720.post-52334932236289317112011-06-30T20:34:00.000+08:002011-06-30T20:34:48.758+08:00June PurchasesHappy End of Financial Year!!<br />
