so bloody good!
Its been a long LONG time since I had my Reese fix, but it was such a wonderful wait!!

Warren wants Gian, but Gian has only one rule: Be honest. It's the one thing he needs more than anything. But being honest with Gian might be the one thing that breaks Warren's heart.

I've been sick all week, and reading this was like a great big hug, wrapped around me, and made me feel so much better! (still sick, but getting there) I loved it, it could not have landed in my queue at a better time, and I will try to write a coherent review.

I loved Warren, he holds his cards close to his chest, but Gian pushes Warren, makes him want to be different this time. I loved Gian, and how bloody patient he is with Warren. I loved ALL the P words used here, I thought that was incredibly cute.

I loved being thrown for a loop when things went down, cos there were several things I did not see coming at me and I love being kept on my toes. I thought this was gonna be a light and fluffy romance, but it isn't and I loved being made to see that I didn't really want light and fluffy, I wanted deep and meaningful and something full of surprises!

It does get a bit dark, when Warren is describing his childhood, but you do need it to get the full package that is Warren. It is so smexy! But there are lighter moments too, Gian is a lot of fun and his parents are wonderful people who see Warren, and they see just what Warren means to Gian, even if Gian can't voice it yet.

Written from both Warren and Gian's point of view, it covers a whole range of emotions and situations and I blooming loved it!

Thank you, Ms Reese for my copy.

5 full and shiny stars!

These books are so well made and full of different types of textures for your baby to touch. My baby girl is just over 3 months old and she loves this book! She hasn't long learned how to touch and grab but she holds onto this book for dear life! It's a really nice compact book so it doesn't take up much room if you need to take it with you for your little one. The corners are nice and smooth and so there are no concerns when your baby is waving her hands around at it. One of my favourite textures is the sticky mud puddle...when first going through the book I was so surprised it was so sticky! Very clever!
Your baby can learn about all different types of farm animals, like woolly sheep and soft, fluffy sheep dogs. I enjoy reading this to my baby and it keeps her interest for ages, I'd recommend this for all little bubbas who love books.

Tainted Lives by Mandasue Heller
I started off disliking this book intensely, there didn't seem to be anything "nice" about it at all. Very dark and gritty. The thing was, I couldn't actually stop thinking about it once I put it down. This for me is a sign of an exceedingly well written book so although I was hoping it would lighten up a bit I stuck with it.

Trust me when I say there is nothing fluffy about this book at all. There are scenes in it that are definitely not for the faint-hearted. And the only light part about the whole book is the very end!

How the characters grow and interact with each other is a joy to read. And you can completely understand the decisions and choices that Sarah makes. Vinnie is such a despicable character that you cannot help but to loathe him, but he does make an excellent villain, a true psychopath.

I would recommend this book very highly, just not for a light read.
