Review for Secrets of Bella Terra by Christina Dodd

Secrets of Bella Terra by Christina Dodd

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is the first book in the Scarlet Deception novels. I liked this book and think it sets the stage for the next novels in the series. Some authors consistently tell us great stories and for me Christina Dodd is one of them. I always look forward to her books.

Brooding and sexy Rafe Di Luca has returned to his family's luxurious vineyard resort for one reason: to find out who attacked his beloved grandmother. His homecoming stirs up a decades-old feud, forcing him to work with Brooke Petersson, the woman he once seduced and betrayed...but never forgot.

Adam by Jacquelyn Frank

Adam by Jacquelyn Frank

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


To me one of the things that makes a great author is one who is not afraid to do the unexpected. In this book we get that unexpected moment. We get caught off guard and drawn into a story we may not have expected.

Hunted by magic, beset by evil, the Nightwalkers face their darkest hour yet. And when the unthinkable happens, only one legendary male has the power, the will, to save them: Adam. . .

For 400 Years He Was Lost To Her, But He Is Hers Tonight. . .

From their first tantalizing touch, Jasmine knows he is different. What other lover could unlock her tight control, flood vampire senses jaded by a lifetime of decadent self indulgence? Centuries ago, when he disappeared without a trace, she had given up hope of ever fulfilling the promise of incomparable passion. But here he is, against the very laws of nature, ready to bring down their most vicious enemy, ready to bring her blood to the boiling point. . .if she will only let him.

Review for Rescue Me by Sydney Laine Allan

Rescue Me by Sydney Laine Allan

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This story idea was a good one but for me I'm not sure the dialog and story between Hailey & Rainer worked. I can understand the part of him fighting his attraction to Hailey but something was missing.
I finished the book and would probably try reading another book by Sydney Laine Allan.

She's does all the rescuing. But love has a way of changing everything.

Hailey Jensen is in the rescue business--animal rescue--and more than willing to risk life and limb for fowl or fauna. Just when life couldn't get better, her world crumbles. Her identical twin has cancer, and her marine rescue is failing before it even gets started. Lacking coping skills, she takes refuge behind sarcasm and solitude.

But, thanks to Dr. Rainer Hartmann, her sister's friend and a man who mistakes overbearing control for helping, she finds herself on the opposite end of the control stick. A wildly independent woman, Hailey fights with the determination of a bulldog as Rainer struggles to drag her out of despair...and into his arms.

Review of Marry Me by Jo Goodman

Marry Me by Jo Goodman

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is the first book by Jo Goodman I have read. At first I thought the story was starting to ramble in the first chapter but it picked up the thread and became a good story that kept your interest. It makes for a delightful afternoon read.

Rhyne Abbot is fierce, brave, and used to a life of isolation on her father's spread on the outskirts of Reidsville, Colorado. But when, overcome with sickness, she collapses, she knows she must return to town if she is to have any hope of recovery. Only there is no place for her but the new doctor's home, and he wants more than just to heal Rhyne. He wants her hand in marriage.

Until One Man Found The Key

Doctor Cole Monroe's hands are already more than full with his orphaned little sister to look after, and yet somehow he can't resist the magnetic pull of Rhyne's bewitching eyes--or her tempting kiss. But convincing her to trust him won't be easy. For Rhyne's heart needs as much tender care as her ailing body. And the only cure is the thing she most fears: to let herself fall in love...

A life that Fits by Heather Wardell

A Life That Fits by Heather Wardell

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I have read most of Heather Wardell's book and enjoy her writing style. The Characters are ones that the readers can identify with. Can't wait to read her newest book.

Twenty-eight-year-old Andrea returns home from a business trip to find Alex, her boyfriend of fourteen years, nervously waiting for her. Assuming he's finally going to propose, Andrea's instead horrified to learn he's been cheating on her and is leaving to be with the other woman, who he calls Andrea's opposite.

At first Andrea's paralyzed by shock and sadness, but the business analyst soon forms a plan: change every last detail of her life and become her opposite so Alex will come back to her.

It's a challenge at first, but soon Andrea's loving the changes she's making, the new activities she's doing, and the new people in her life. But will she change enough to get Alex back? And if she does, will he fit into the wonderful new life she's creating for herself?
