Not Enough of Swiper. He seemed like a pointless charcter.
Swiper No Swipe
Dora and the Lost City of Gold- does remind me of the tv series with the songs, Dora talking to the audience, Boots, Diego, and the Map. Its funny, cute, adventurist and action-e.

The plot: Having spent most of her life exploring the jungle, nothing could prepare Dora for her most dangerous adventure yet -- high school. Accompanied by a ragtag group of teens and Boots the monkey, Dora embarks on a quest to save her parents while trying to solve the seemingly impossible mystery behind a lost Incan civilization.

I know people were annoyed by the songs and that their were to many of them. I wasnt to annoyed of them, expect for one of them. I only counted like 4 or 5 songs, maybe their were more but as i remember that was the tv series, the songs were are apart the series and this movie was trying to replicate the series and it did do a good job at that.

I like how Danny Trejo voiced Boots and Benico Del Toro voiced Swiper.

If you liked the tv series than you will like this movie. Its for the whole family.

A lost heiress has been found, but the past brings a danger that will threaten all she holds dear.

With a mysterious past, Brooke Eden recruits her closest friend, Justin Wildon, to find who her true family is. She has been raised in Monaco by the Grimaldi family, but she knows that they are not her true family. She is shocked to discover that she is a long lost daughter of The Earl of Whitby and even more surprised that her father receives her with open arms. Although, the rest of the family takes a little more convincing. Horrors of her mother's death haunt Brook and there are many secrets that have to be uncovered. When greed and lust for wealth and power threaten Brook's life, her faith keeps her strong. Will the secrets of the past be revealed? And will Brook return home after being lost for a second time?

"But God does not just instruct us to forgive - He instructs us to trust. To trust that, even though life hurts us, He will take care of us."

Roseanna White had me completely captivated from the first page of The Lost Heiress. Set in 1910, during the Edwardian Period it was a new experience for me. With society rapidly changing and new inventions around every corner, it was wonderful to see it through Brook Eden's eyes. I admire her courage and strength throughout this story. She is someone that I would love to know and to follow on one of her harebrained ideas. She can be rash and impulsive, but her faith is evident. We could all benefit by following her example of putting our trust in the Lord, even when the world seems to be crumbling down around us. If you are a fan of Downton Abbey and love a little mystery with your historical fiction, you will quickly loose yourself between the pages of this book.

I received a free digital copy of The Lost Heiress from Bethany House Publishers through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

"This was the point where Steve Miller set up his own studio and started recording in his own time. He lost himself in that process. I love his take on music – it's his own brand of psychedelia. It's very blissful on one hand, very groovy on the other. He created his own musical world and almost ends up referencing himself rather than taking influences from other people. I love it when an artist has a feedback loop to their own music. The first track, 'Song For Our Ancestors', is the one for me. It's soundtrack-y, incredibly evocative. It starts with a giant foghorn and this beautiful tremolo guitar that seems to emerge from the mists. Again, it's taking you somewhere, imagining this other world, albeit rooted in history rather than just imagination."

As I said with Fighting Temptation, basically, how in the ever loving hell have I NOT read this book before!? I absolutely went to jelly knees reading all about ‘Sexy Sawyer’ and his journey with ‘Cupcake’. I didn’t think I could love a character in the MOH series more than I did Jaxon…….but, oh how wrong I was!

Sawyer was witty, HOT AS HELL, and absolutely amazing with his love and devotion for Grace. Those two were absolutely perfect for each other. I loved how patiently persistent Sawyer was with ‘his Cupcake’. That’s exactly how my husband was with me and I could feel all of my own emotions resurfacing.

Grace’s sassiness was the absolute best mixture with Sawyer’s cocky attitude. Following Grace, learning all she went through, and all she lost, was absolutely heart breaking, but seeing her rise above it all, seeing her and Sawyer together, truly was badass in it’s own way and together they baked up as the perfect couple!

Lynn and her trademark angsty work stole my heart with book 1. With book 2, she has become my absolute second favorite author. The deep love these fierce and fearless men have for their witty, challenging women, are wonderfully chiseled into plot lines that have the feels. From start to finish, this book will have you twisted up inside with ALL THE FEELS. All of them. Every last one. But, in the end, you’ll be in love with Sawyer, Grace, and all the men, dying to read the next one. But, be warned…..Sawyer will set you on FIRE and make every part of your body blush in this 5 star read!
