The Perfect Ghost

I'm sorry to say that I just could not get into this book at all, I had to force myself to read even the first few chapters. It sounded like it would be something I would enjoy and I"m sure that if I were able to force my may through it I might have even rated it a two star instead of one. I however, am not going to force myself to read something that I am not enjoying. There are far too many books out there that I can enjoy. I thank the publisher and author for the chance to read it though.

Claim Me

As with the first in this titillating trilogy, Claim Me does just at the name suggests....it claims your attention and won't let you go. I love how Julie Kenner has picked up fairly close to where Release Me left off and left us readers with all kinds of theories running rampant in our brains. The way she has drawn us even more deeply into the characters lives just attests to what a marvelous writer she is. I am already impatient to get my hands on the third and final? in the trilogy titled Complete Me. I rated this book a five out of five but would have happily rated it a ten!

Enslaved ( Enslaved Trilogy #1)

Enslaved is an erotic BDSM book that takes us on an adventure through the life of Elisabeth who has just been de-collared from her master who has decided it is time to move on and find the things in a BDSM relationship that he feels like he and she both deserve. He never loved her and she never loved him, but they had a long relationship based on the understanding she was a pain slut and he was a sadist. After giving her, her freedom he tells her that Trevor who is one of the BAD boys from the club they frequent wants her. This is normal in a BDSM relationship to share your slave and it means nothing. However this is different because she is no longer Gregory's slave and she isn't sure that the billionaire will want the real her.  After arriving to the amazing house Trevor calls home and meeting the staff as well as getting a tour of the huge grounds she finally has one on one time with him and that is when she first realizes she isn't confident in herself and her need to be collared by Trevor. This is where I sort of lost a little bit of interest  She has just met this man and she is already concerned about being collared and it appears she doesn't even care who it is that collars her as long as they can hurt her. She isn't a true submissive by any standards with her constantly talking back and doing things just so she can be punished. But while doing this she is willfully disobeying Trevor and disrespecting him at the same time. He  decides it is time she learns how to be a good little slave so he sends her to be with his best friend and business partner Roman. This turns out to be not such a good idea because Roman the man who is known for the slave em and leave em ends up falling for her. He wants her to stay with him because they have so much in common, she loves pain and he loves to give it to her. She goes though some tough decisions and goes to visit her previous master, who has moved on and we read a little about his journey as well though all this, who is now officially gay and has a twink slave who he is in love with. After getting good advice from Gregory and his slave Andrew she makes her decision and goes back to the man she chooses. I am not telling who she chooses you will have to read it. I rate this book a four out of five.

Spellbinding

This is a good YA novel that is also good for adults to read as well. Spellbinding is the story of a high school girl named Abby, she has dreams of being someone else in a time that is not her own. She is a girl being accused of being a witch and she is tossed into the river to die. Abby has this dream so often it is nothing new, but she also dreams of a young man with blue green eyes that tells her they will be together again. Not sure what is going on with that part of her dream she goes about her business. Her driving test to get her license is coming up so she is  a little stressed about that. She needs to get it so she can get a job for the summer. Abby is given a homework assignment to track her family tree and while doing this she finds out she may have been related to a woman accused of being a witch in Salem. While doing her investigating she meets a boy named Remy whose eyes look just like the boys that she dreams about. Confused about her feelings for Remy who she doesn't know that well she goes across the street and sees a shop that is hiring.  Soon after she starts being able to do things she shouldn't be able to do and that doesn't make sense to her. She finds a book with spells and begins to practice. She does a love spell to get the boy in her school she has a crush on to like her back and it is exciting for her when it works. Pretty soon she is trying to do bigger spells and that is when Remy tells her the more she does the less human she will become. All things come to a huge conclusion which I shall not tell you about you will have to read yourselves. I rated this book a three out of five because even though it was a good book, Abby got on my nerves with liking one boy and having feelings for another all at the same time. Her inconsistencies just annoyed me, I realize she is a high school girl so she has the right to be immature but that is just my opinion. Overall it is a good book that all can enjoy.

Nothing Lasts Forever

Joe is going to visit his daughter Stephanie in California. On the way to the airport he is in an accident and ends up with a small cut on his head.  On the plane he meets a flight attendant and they hit it off with an agreement to see each other the next day. Joe arrives at his daughter's office building and finds a party going on. After finding his daughter he tells her he wants to freshen up. While doing so he makes a call to the flight attendant but then the phone cuts off. Unsure what is going on when he hears a woman scream he makes his way quietly down the hall and finds the building has been taken over by men with guns and German accents. Everyone at the party is now a hostage and Joe takes it upon himself to start taking out the bad guys. He kills them left and right, pissing off the head honcho Little Tony as he calls himself. When the police get involved the head officer tells Joe to stand down he is causing to much of a mess. Joe basically tells him to go to hell and give the phone back to the man he had been talking to which is Al. The bad guys continue being killed left and right until we end up where Little Tony has Joe's daughter as a lone hostage and is threatening to kill her. Joe says to trade him for her and Little Tony agrees. When Joe arrives and goes to kill Little Tony he yells for Stephanie to get out of the way but she doesn't and he pulls her out the broken window with him where she falls to her death. 

 I did like parts of the book. I can see where the Die Hard franchise came from, but I like the movie better. I just don't understand how Joe became so attached to this flight attendant and wants to speak with her so much while he is killing and hiding from the bad guys. I don't get how the author kills off his daughter, I don't see the point in it. I also wasn't expecting the company she worked for to be supplying arms to terrorists in return for deals and money. Overall I would rate this book a three out of five. 

Battleship

I'm sorry to say I just had the hardest time getting through Battleship. I was looking forward to reading it, however when I started I had to force myself to even finish the first few pages. I'm not really sure if it started slow for me or if it just wasn't something I could get into overall. It is an inspiring story when you get right down to it, but for me it just didn't do the trick.  I would only rate it a two out of five. 

A Vampire's Salvation

I enjoyed reading A Vampire's Salvation, however I wish it had ended differently  I know it was left the way it was left because there are to be more books in the series, but it left me underwhelmed. I did like the book overall, the plot was cute and the characters believable. Jacob is the sexy mysterious head of security and Francesca is the in charge of the Governor's reelection campaign. From the beginning she has the hots for him with dreams of things she wishes would happen. But he doesn't pay her any notice and she believes he never will. Then one day she is day dreaming about him and he looks over and its like the room is filled with electricity. Jacob is a vampire and knows at first sight that Francesca is his mate, but he doesn't want to scare her off so he remains aloof at first. When he gets the chance though he shows her just how much he is attracted to her and what she means to him. She is afraid at first because she had no clue that he was attracted to her and now with the whole vampire thing shes a little freaked out. There is someone trying to kidnap her and he keeps her safe but I want to know why this person wants her so badly, I know it says she owes him for something but I'm sure it will be made clear in the next book. Overall I would rate this book a three out of five.
