I absolutely love the tv series I was so desperate to read the book I took it on holiday and couldn't get into it I came back and tried again. I enjoyed reading it but i was disappointed with the ending but I think that's because I have watched the tv series first and they have took it so much further I may have felt different if I had read it first.

Book 2 in the Steele Brothers Series - I am really torn about this series. I love the characters and the plot is really interesting, it has me hooked which is why I am still going, but seriously.... the sex scenes are so bad!!! If these were deleted or re-written then I would have given these books a much better review!

It's been a while since i read the first three books in this series but i remember loving them in their twisted ways so a chance to jump back into the world of Tarrick and Matthew was a big YES!

Though Matthew is only mentioned in passing, Tarrick, Sam and Jet take centre stage. It was a fun little romp and has got me very excited for the next book in the series!
  
I don't know if it's because it's been so long since I read the first book in this series; Echo and Noah's, or the shortness of this novella/short story but I didn't remember the characters or feel that interested in the story. The best bit for me was probably the paintball bit near the end.

I have the next two books in the series but I won't be reading them yet.
  
Hmm...I enjoyed some bits of this book, others bored me into skipping entire paragraphs. Also the lack of a love interest annoyed me. I like romance in my books and I think Charlie needed a guy in this.

Not sure if I'll be continuing the series.

P.S. Also since this series doesn't seem to be completed, or being completed anytime soon, that has put me reading any more of the books.

Another hilarious bounty hunter romp with Stephanie Plum. It seems like bad luck follows her around & hilarity ensues. This book didn't disappoint on any of these fronts. I am officially hooked on this series. I can't wait to get started on the next one.

A good old fashioned school story
The first book in the Malory Towers series. One of my favorite books as a child and still loved today. It's very much set in the 1940's but it mostly adds to the charm.
