This is a list of books that I have read on my kindle app
recently. Each book will show a short summary and my opinion. I will also rate
it. I am hoping this list will encourage others to go find their books on
Amazon.com. I am hoping to help other
writers by posting this blog, because word of mouth sometimes is the best
promotion some authors have. I have also changed my rating system. I will no
longer be rating with stars. I will be using apples. So if you agree or
disagree with one of my book rating send me a message and tell me how you like
them apples, and I will include it one of my next blogs.
Wearing a Maid of
Honor dress that very well makes the South want to rise again; Jess Reynolds is
prepared to walk down the aisle at her best friend's wedding. It's just that
things keep getting in the way, like a sex-crazed coworker, an annoying
brother-of-the-bride, and a handsome and horribly charming friend posing as the
Best Man. As it turns out, Jess might just be the last one to know everything,
including the workings of her own heart.
My opinion:
This book was really charming. I loved the characters and
laughed out loud often. It is your typical romance formula as far as the plot
goes but do not let this deter you from reading it. I give this book 4 out of 5
apples.
Here is a little
about the author:
Crystal Bowling was born in a small Kentucky town. She grew
up and went to college in only a slightly larger town. She writes, sings badly,
and wonders if liking coffee is something that happens when you turn 40. You
can catch up with Crystal at her blog (crystalbooksit.wordpress.com) and on
Twitter (@crystalbooksit). You can find out more about book updates by checking
out Crystal's author page on Facebook
(facebook.com/pages/Crystal-Bowling/263805270299916).
What Delaney wants...
...is a baby. A baby of her own. At thirty, she longs to
break away from the constraints of her life. Longs to reach out for her heart's
desire. She'd prefer marriage as well, but there's no man in Dundee, Idaho,
she's interested in marrying.
Then one winter night she and her best friend, Rebecca, go
to Boise with the intent of finding a man for Delaney. She meets a handsome
stranger named Conner, a man who might be able to provide her with the solution
she needs...and the baby she wants!
Afterward she thinks she must have been out of her mind. But
it's too late. Because she's pregnant. And because the stranger isn't a
stranger anymore. Conner Armstrong is now living on a ranch just outside
Dundee.
My Opinion:
At first I did not think I would like this book, simply because
it was not something I would normally read.
But since I am not one to dismiss a book purely on the “it is not my
genre notion”, I read it. I am so glad that I did. I found the book was
wonderful and easy to follow. I actually found myself rooting for the
characters in the end. I give this 4 out of 5 apples.
A little about the
author:
Normally I would give you a little about the author from the
Amazon page, but it appears Ms. Novak does not have anything in that section.
Cake maker and single mom Claudia Bradley thinks she has
life all figured out -- until her best friend Nate starts looking like a
mouth-watering dessert and her son's father comes strolling back into the
picture as if he'd never left ten years ago. Throw in a case of preteen angst
and a family with lots of well-meant advice, and, well, she's whipping up a
recipe for chaos!
Nate West has always been there for Claudia, a basic
ingredient in her life, but suddenly she is flirting outrageously with him when
she's never looked that way at him before -- despite his dreams. With her
ex-lover back in town, Nate isn't about to renege on his years-old promise to
always be the friend Claudia needs, but does she want more?
She's as tempting as butter cream frosting with sprinkles,
and he's mighty tempted...
My opinion:
I fell in love in this book.
I mean it! I know it’s only a book, but I wanted Nate to be my love from
the very beginning of the book. It is your typical “OMG are you blind” book
where the heroin doesn’t seem to see what everyone else sees in the book. This
book had sprinkles for me. So I have
rated it 5 out of 5 apples. (With sprinkles)
About the Author:
It appears Ms. Simon also doesn’t have an author section set
up, I apologize.
Book One in the Serenity Series.
Caught in a violent
and abusive relationship, Serenity thinks there is no escape. On the day she
fears her life can get no worse, she meets a stranger, Sebastian, who shows her
the possibility of a different future.
Only Sebastian has a dark secret; he is a vampire.
As Serenity's life takes a terrifying turn, she finds
herself drawn into a world she never knew existed; one of murder, love and
immortality. She is forced to confront her own weaknesses to save both her own
life and that of the vampire she has come to love. But in the end all that
matters is; can she find the strength to be Alone?
My Opinion:
OHHHHH! I went on an adventure in this book. I loved it
enough that I will actively be trying to buy or borrow the other three books
that are currently out in this series. I do not want to give away a whole lot
about the book so I will as usual keep this very short. I felt sorry for both
the hero and the heroin in this book. That is unusual for me, normally it is
all about the pity that the poor heroine needs and how the big bad strong hero
comes in and swoops down to save the day. Let’s just say that did not happen
here. I would give this book more than 5 apples but since that is the highest
on this scale I can’t.
About the author:
Again my apologies as this author appears to have not made
an author page on Amazon.com. This made
me sad as I would have really liked to have known more about her.
A New Adult Contemporary
(NOT appropriate for younger readers)
Marlo (Lola) La Pointe works as an assistant to her
brother's band, Pleasure Pointe. Tobias, the hard living lead singer, is
intrigued by her, but they don't get along. This situation changes when he must
come to Marlo's rescue, and prove his bravery. As Marlo joins the band on the
road, she is forced to make some life changing decisions. Could one of them
involve Tobias?
*Note from Author: This newly revised edition contains
corrections of previous grammatical errors. I sincerely appreciate any feedback
from readers, as it is my goal to produce the best book possible. Thank you for
your interest, and hope you enjoy the new, improved version of Under Her Skin.
My Opinion:
I was not really sure about this book because of the author
note, but I did not let it deter me from reading this book, and you should not
let it either. I loved this book, it rocked! It rocked in more ways than one. I
have a brand new love for the old saying “if the trailer is rocking doesn’t
bother knocking” in this case though it is the bus, the hotel, the bedroom, etc… I loved the main character and the author’s
knowledge of music kept me fascinated. Yes I was one of those girls that had an
obsession with rock stars as a teen. I am giving this book 5 out of 5 very
steamy apples.
About the author:
Again, I apologize. The author it appears has not set up an
author page on Amazon.com.
I will add more next week. If you enjoyed this blog and would
like to see more of these, please comment below. If you would like me to read
and review your book, please leave me a comment or email me @ yeahsure29@yahoo.com. I do book reviews,
