SYNOPSIS:

Fireworks and grenades.Grills and campfires. Burps and farts.

Men get a kick out of things that go boom, things that cook with fire, and all forms of bodily gas. What they might not know is that science is what makes it all happen. This book answers all the questions guys have about their favorite topics, such as:

  • How do you make a Lifesaver spark?
  • How do you hotwire a car?
  • Why do kegs float?
  • What is PMS?
  • Why doesn’t a cell phone work in metal buildings?

Serious science mixed with outrageous humor, this book promises guys the need-to-know info on sports, cars, technology, women, bodily functions, food, and more!
MY THOUGHTS:

Are you still looking for that perfect for your husband? This is the book to give to the man that has everything. I have never laughed so hard in my life! I was so caught up in this book that my husband had to give me the evil eye in bed because he was trying to sleep and I was laughing out loud!

The topics included in this book are hilarious. Here is a small sample of questions you will find the answer to:

What makes a fart smell?
Why do dog’s fart quietly?
How do you hot-wire a car?
Can you outrun an alligator?
Why do men think about sex all the time?

This is just a teaser at what kind of questions you can expect to have answered all from a scientific-but funny-point of view. The author has the most outstanding and hilarious responses to these questions. Trust me, if you have any type of funny bone, this is the perfect book even for women to read. Heck I even tried out half the things in the book to see if they actually work!
I can now open my doors with a credit card, do the money trick with laughs, and make a card float below an upside down full shot glass! You will also learn how to do all these tricks including picking a lock!

  • ISBN-13: 978-0758235282

SYNOPSIS:

After years as a slave to the pleasures of the powerful, Talia knows how to make a man mad with lust. But her pleasure counts for nothing–until a handsome, ruthless stranger appears. Ryder dares to look at her… to touch her… to awake in her a desire she’s never imagined. When he kidnaps her to learn her secrets, Talia vows not to let her passion take control. But soon she discovers that her captor’s intense gaze and searching hands can perform their own kind of interrogation, a sweet torture she finds impossible to resist…

MY THOUGHTS:

I am sitting here trying to think what to write about this book and all I can think about is my husbands reaction when I explained what the book was about. Natalia is from a different planet where there are few women. The women that are there, are owned and basically sex slaves to their owners. She must parade around naked in front of her owner and be covered around anyone else. She only gets time to herself during sleep hours. Ryder is from another planet and he kidnaps her and takes her to his home. He kidnaps her initially to get information about when her owners, the high council members, plan on attacking his planet he lives on. They slowly fall in love, but quickly fall in lust with each other. As I was explaining all this to my husband, he wiggled his eyebrows and looked at me. I gave him the look of what? He then said that hmmm…a wife who is a sex slave! LOL…Sorry, we live on Earth hubby and I kind of like to think that you are my sex slave. LOL.

I liked how this story was paced and how the plot was not just sex though. It had suspense which is hard to balance in an erotica novel. I also liked how each character had their own little story throughout the book. The author wrapped up each characters story with the ending they deserve. The author certainly has a knack for writing many small stories into one novel and making it all go together.

Now, that I have found out about this author, I think I will have to look into getting some more of her books to read.

HAVE YOURSELF A NAUGHTY LITTLE SANTA by Karin Tabke

HAVE YOURSELF A NAUGHTY LITTLE SANTA
Author: Karin Tabke
Source: Library

  • Mass Market Paperback: 352 pages
  • Publisher: Pocket Star (October 28, 2008)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 1416564586
  • ISBN-13: 978-1416564584

SYNOPSIS:

HE KNOWS IF YOU’VE BEEN BAD OR GOOD….

Picture-perfect Evergreen, California, nestled on the shores of Reindeer Lake in the snowy Sierras, is the perfect place for a no-strings holiday fling with a gorgeous Latin lover. Workaholic Kimberly Michaels didn’t come to Evergreen only to enjoy herself, though; she’s there to consummate a development deal in which her company will take over the town — whether the town wants it or not. Ricco Maza, whose sister owns the quaint B & B where Kim is staying, may be the hottest man she’s ever met (and the only one who can persuade her to relax enough for an orgasm!) but if he discovers why Kim is in town, she’ll soon be finding more coal and switches than kisses in her Christmas stocking. And as Kim’s frosty winter nights steam up with her sexy Santa, she realizes she’s going to have to make a choice. Is winning the deal truly the most important thing in life, or will this jaded cynic let Santa finally give her a little taste of Christmas magic?

MY THOUGHTS:

I wanted to start reading a Christmas book to get in the mood for the holidays, and look at what I found! A romance with Christmas and a naughty Santa on the cover!

I really enjoyed this book! The book is set in a town called Evergreen that is going under financially due to lack of tourists from the horrible weather. I love how the Bed And Breakfast has rooms named after the reindeer, a lake called Reindeer lake, stores that are named Jingle Bells, Away in a Manger, Five Golden Rings jewelry store and Mistletoe Florals for flowers! You have town who is all about the Christmas season and even an ice skating rink for kids. It was sweet the way the romance between Kim and Ricco developed and I found myself rooting for them all throughout the book. I was sad to see this holiday read end. I think I will have to go and find more Christmas reads to keep me in the great mood this book left me with!

  • Reading level: Young Adult
  • Paperback: 240 pages
  • Publisher: Simon Pulse (January 8, 2008)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 1416955208
  • ISBN-13: 978-1416955207

SYNOPSIS:
Girl meets boy.

Girl loses boy.

Girl gets boy back…

…sort of.

Ava can’t see him or touch him, unless she’s dreaming. She can’t hear hisvoice, except for the faint whispers in her mind. Most would think she’scrazy, but she knows he’s here.

Jackson. The boy Ava thought she’d spend the rest of her life with. He’s back from the dead, as proof that love truly knows no bounds.

MY THOUGHTS:

If you are looking for an amazing read, then this is the book. It is written in verse, which fits the mood of the book perfectly. I loved this book. I finished it in about 30 minutes, but it was a long 30 minutes due to crying along the way. You can feel the pain and sadness that Ava goes through, the helplessness her parents go through, and the guilt felt as well. I cried like a baby with this book. Then when I tried to tell my hubby about it, I cried all over again. This author knows how to write a book to move a reader. This is a young adult book, but also a great book for adults as well.
