The Companions( The Sundering Book 1)

The beginning of this book confused me to no end. I had to go back and read it carefully two times to make heads or tails of it because it kept switching back and forth between the past and the present and different areas. I'm not sure still to this day what was going on except there was a little girl that had some powers that I guess was born again and wasn't really a little girl? Then there was a battle in the future and she dies and they are all in this place together? I have no clue and honestly I'm not going to finish the rest of the book because I don't understand half of what I"m reading. I apologize. 

A Serving of Scandal

I downloaded this book sometime ago and just didn't really get around to reading it because I would start it then become uninterested. This happened a few times until I came to the conclusion this book just wasn't for me. It has taken me months to even make it to chapter three and that is so unusual for me. I give up. 

The girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper

Travis and Helena had a wonderful love affair after the tragic death of her husband a long time ago and after that brief, affair they parted ways never to see each other again. Years later he receives a letter from Helena requesting his help with one of her daughters who after a second miscarriage is suicidal and also telling him that she herself has terminal cancer. Now Travis isn't around her when she dies and only arrives home to a letter from her lawyer with a check for $25,000 and instructions on on a final job for her. She wants Travis to help her daughter and feels he is the only one that can get through to her. His love for her and her family make this a not so difficult decision and he heads to Florida immediately. But what he finds there is worse than what his dear friend could have ever expected. First there is the couple that try to kill him because they think he is there because of Maurie's husband Tom, then the woman who tried to kill him turns up dead. What are all these meds they are shoving on Maurie and does she really need them?  Even though the book started out a little slow I have to say I loved every minute of it and when it ended I wanted more. I can honestly say I would rate this book a four out of five stars. 

The Marriage Merger

This book was better than I had hoped it would be. From the description of it I knew I wanted to read it, but I was afraid it was going to be another book that would fall below par. I was totally wrong on so many levels and for that I am grateful! I loved the characters and the problems they each faced. I love how the author stressed how important family is and how they would be there to help out in a any kind of situation. I would love to see a book about Wolfe sometime in the future. I feel there are great things in store for him and he needs a good woman to help him move on from the pain he has inside. I would also love to know if somewhere down the line Julietta and Sawyer have kids because I know he will be scared but he will make an amazing father, just look at how he treats Wolfe. 

When we first meet Julietta I feel a little sorry for her being the age she is and not having known true love or even great sex for that matter. She feels like she cannot achieve an orgasm at all and for that I hated her past lovers. Then she meets gorgeous Sawyer and they team up for business only he wants more from her than she is willing to give. Finally they  make it to the bedroom for some hot and steamy sex and I have to say it was all done very tastefully. Once she finally gives in to him she realizes what she has been missing out on all these years. I really enjoyed reading about him chasing her. He is one determined man and she was almost an ice queen in her refusals. 

This book I would rate at a four out of five stars and recommend it to anyone wanting a good read. 

Twerp

    This book starts out introducing us to our main character and telling us something happened that wasn't his fault. As punishment for this thing that happened he has to write an essay. His teacher has told him if he can continue to write through the school year he will not have to do any of the Shakespeare assignments. This convinces him to write about every event that has had a significant effect on his life up till now. He write of how he accidentally stoned a bird, and even how an accident with some friends led to one of them having their eyebrows burned off...well blown off  more like. He is a smart kid and his friend Lonnie tries to convince him to write a love letter to this girl that he likes for Lonnie. Lonnie says he can't do it because he can't spell very well or put the words together right.  After writing the letter I knew the girl was going to like him better than Lonnie I could see it coming and that's exactly what happens then poor Lonnie is heartbroken and refuses to be friends with Julian saying he betrayed their friendship. There is  a lot of drama that made me laugh but also made me feel sorry for them all especially when the girl chooses someone else. I did like the character Eduardo he seemed like a great kid. I read this book to my kids to get their opinions on it and they loved it so overall I would have to rate this book a four out of five. It teaches about how to do right and what you should do if you have done something wrong, so its great.

The Silver Chain ( Book One of the Unbreakable Trilogy)

The Silver Chain(Book 1 of the Unbreakable Trilogy)

Primula Bond

Publication Release: July 4, 2013

I am a huge fan of Fifty Shades of Grey as well as the Stark Trilogy and a few others that got their ideas from Fifty Shades, but I have to say it is starting to get a little old. There is always the billionaire or millionaire who has issues with something in their past and needs the help of a woman to get him past his pain and confusion. Then there is always a woman that has some deep emotional trauma of some kind and becomes way to emotionally involved with said man way to quickly.  This one is no different, except that the beginning left something to be desired for me. I had a hard time getting into it to begin with, however I really wanted to finish this book so I forced myself past the boring part and on and on I went until I met said confused, sexy, dominating and older man. I did like his description, I could totally picture him and found him attractive. Now our heroine, she  is beautiful and emotionally challenged you could put it and she is of course already ready to take said man home or let him take her home and ravish her. I did feel their connection, and I was curious how it would play out, but when she really started getting on my nerves was when he asks her to go with him to his old home to help clear out the place and get it ready to sell. It still has some of his ex-wife's things in it and she goes nuts. I mean crazy as a baboon. I was like what in the hell is wrong with this girl. He is no better taking her for a horse ride then leaving her behind even when she falls and hurts herself? What?? Then when he comes back he of course apologizes and all is forgiven, to a degree anyway. Now back to her being loony, his ex was into dominatrix stuff so there is the leather outfit that I can kind of picture as if it is from American Horror Story sort of.  Crazy girl puts it on....may I remind you now that this WAS his ex's clothes....WHAT??? Pardon the yelling but that is what I was saying in my head most of the book. Now I did like that there isn't a collar,however, there is a bracelet that he attaches a chain too and there were a couple of times when he holds up the chain like you would to a dog to get it excited about going on a walk for example. Again...WHAT?? She always goes to him until she loses her mind and breaks free then heads back home. He doesn't chase her like I would have liked...I wanted to see him pissed about the whole running away thing... But lets her go about her business. Now I may not have been very kind in my review of this book, but it was a decent book. There was some steamy sexual scenes that can get your heart going a little faster, but overall I would rate this a two and a half out of five.
