SYNOPSIS:
He’d be Mr. Perfect if he wasn’t a perfect mess…
Rich Ronaldi is almost the complete package-smart, sexy, great job-but when his girlfriend dumps him, Rich swears he’ll learn to cook and clean just to win her back…
She’ll be happy to make him over, but not for another woman…
Rich is the only guy Becca Larsen’s ever met who hasn’t tried to change her. She’s glad to help him master the domestic arts, but she’ll be damned if he’ll start cooking in another woman’s kitchen-or bedroom…
MY THOUGHTS:
I am so happy to find another author that writes great romance. This is third book in the series and I loved it enough to go and purchase the rest of the series.
Rich was so funny and a typical man.  He’s messy, has an ego the size of the sun, and has humor and sex appeal all in a lovely package! Becca was annoying at times, but she was his perfect match in humor and strength. I loved the dialogue between the two and I had a few laughs throughout their romance. My favorite part is when Rich tries to explain that he knows all about a woman’s language. He knows what whatever, nothing and fine mean when they come out of a woman’s mouth. He read it in an email so of course he knows a woman’s language! 
I loved how their romance blossomed, wilted and came back to life! It captured my interest from page one and left me sighing with joy at the end.  A new author for me that has opened up a great world of romance and knows how to make a woman sigh with love at the end of the story!
MY RATING:

SYNOPSIS:
Dream-catcher Janie must decide her fate: continue living in society and helping the police but eventually become blind and crippled, or isolate herself completely. The choice becomes even more difficult when her father, in a coma and on the brink of death, comes into her life for the first time and reveals important information to Janie through his dreams. Cabel remains a steadfast and loving companion, and Janie’s mother, a barely functioning alcoholic, plays a greater role in this volume.
MY THOUGHTS:
It has been so long since I read this series that I almost forgot what was going on.  I remembered how I loved the story of Janie and Cabel so I was still excited to finally get to read it. I had forgotten how the author has a unique writing style that can seem confusing at first if you haven’t read her first two books.  I think it is a really great concept in writing.  In this book, we got to see a lot of Janie’s family and her agonizing decision about taking the lonely road in life or the difficult road with family and friends.  You could actually feel her pain as she struggled with what to do.  I still can’t stand her mother, but at least we get some insight on why she is an alcoholic and we get to see Ms. Stubin again. 
Overall an okay book to finish the trilogy with.  I like how the story ends, but I would have loved it even more if Janie actually got to understand more in her father’s dreams.  I felt she could have done so much more with that part of the story.  Instead of it being a climatic end to a series, it felt more like a filler book that should have gone between the other stories.

MY RATING:

 
Perfect For Rainy Days From the Library!


COVER ALERT: "Ecstasy in Darkness " by Gena Showalter

by ⋅ 1 Comment
Thanks to Gena and Escape Between The Pages for the heads up on the new cover!

Gena Showalter revealed  the cover to Ecstasy In Darkness, the 6th book in the Alien Huntress series, on her blog. It is scheduled for release October 26, 2010.

One taste and their passion would never end.

Growing up poor on New Chicago’s meanest streets, Ava Sans had two options: be the predator, or be the prey. No contest. Now, working for Alien Investigation and Removal, she’s been ordered to capture the biggest, baddest warrior of all—a vampire too beautiful to be real, with the ability to manipulate time. Once the leader of the entire vampire army, McKell has been deemed savage and unstable, spurned even by his own kind.

To McKell, humans should be nothing more than sustenance. Yet the petite, golden-skinned Ava is a fascinating contradiction— vicious yet witty, strong yet vulnerable, lethal but fiercely loyal. Against his better judgment, McKell craves that loyalty, and much more. When the chase leads to seduction, McKell and Ava will race to discover the truth about his past. But the answers will come at a price, even for a woman who thought she had nothing left to lose. . .
