In all honesty this is the first book by J.A. Armstrong I picked up. It drew me in as a teacher but when I realized it was a spin off of the By Design series I put it aside and started that one. I read this one at the time it seemed to fit into the other series. I love the characters and how their relationship develops. Michelle and Melanie's relationship evolving from just friends to more just flowed. As with all of Armstrong's characters they all have flaws but that makes them real.

Tandy Graham leaves the army to to look after her son, Scott on the Arizona ranch she inherited after the death of her father. Life becomes quite hostile from the other ranchers after biologist Wyatt returns to track the wolves he released a few years previous.
This is the first book I've read from Roz Denny Fox and would certainly read more from this author. Marrying the rancher is a slow building clean romance with a hit of suspense and fans of Mills and Boon Cherish will love it.

Merry Kramer's co-worker is having a rough week. First, her husband vanishes. Then he's accused of stealing money from his work. Finally, a dead body shows up in her garage. Can Merry figure out what is going on? I love these characters, and the book drew me in even on a reread. However, I found the sub-plot about spousal abuse often became preachy and slowed down the book.

Meet Trixie, Honey, and Jim as the trio form a friendship and hunt for the treasure that is supposed to be in Jim's great uncle's old house.

This is a very favorite series from childhood on, and I just love meeting the characters again for the first time. They aren't quite themselves yet, and can be annoying as a result. Just know they grow stronger from their friendships by the next in the series.

I enjoyed all three stories in this book. I was with emotional though out the book. The first book is about learning to deal with death of a love one and learn to get though your marriage struggles of your marriage that you when though.

The second book talks about depression and a bit about marriage struggles. This book also talks about telling the truth and adoption. This is quite a story and about foster care as well.

The third story is about death as well and learning to trusting in good.

Easy to learn; fun game (0 more)
To be fair, I did help fund this on Kickstarter (in fact it was the first time I'd ever used Kickstarter) and I was glad to pick this game to start with! I've since played it several times with different groups of friends and we all love the game. Adding in the expansions, which are amazing and quite funny, can make the game take longer (in particular the Apocalypse Expansion, as that is exactly what it was designed to do). Pick up a copy and have a blast!

I wanted to like this.. but it was not good. I love big dumb action films, and I loved the 1st Pacific Rim, but Jesus, they can't keep making movies like this. The first Pacific Rim had heart, and it was interesting.
This film was not interesting. It was predictable, and kind of lame. It seemed to definitely be aimed more towards children. All of the best parts of the jaeger fighting were shown in the trailers. I'm so disappointed.
I feel so betrayed. Why TF did they make this movie without GDT?

I think I'm so bummed because it had so much potential, but then it was just like Transformers movie.

Not for me, I love colour, it's what sells the book to me first and foremost. Its what draws me in and makes me have a closer look. This is bland and boring. Black and white photos, black and white diagrams, black and white text...boring. It would be quite at home in the 60's
Now don't get me wrong if your a beginner or and expert crocheter like myself you will find this book a fountain of knowledge you just won't find it on my shelf in the craft room

I loved this book and am now going to get the second book in the series =D I'll be honest, I found this book quite boring when I first started reading it. It wasn't until I was about a quarter of the way through it that I really started getting into it. I'm so glad I stuck this book out. The characters, I love...the plot is really good. I'd really recommend this book =) In fact, I'd say that Carrie Jones is a much better writer than Stephenie Meyer.

2017 | Drama, Mystery
I am absolutely obsessed with this show. I told myself when it first came out that i wasnt going to watch it. I was expecting something completely different. I finally started watching it after the second season finished airing. I love a good mystery and this certainly fulfills that. The drama and romance are pretty spot on as well. I binge watched both season pretty quickly, i just couldnt stop watching it. There were plenty of times where i was on the edge of my seat. I have recommended this show to many people already.
