Book Rating
Millie has always been one of the guys. She has four best guy friends—fellow professors. With an upcoming social function planned at the university, the group makes a pact that they will join an online dating service to find plus-ones for the event. But Millie and Reid have recently (secretly) shared a sexy night together. Hence the online dating plan offers some issues. So Millie comes up with “Catherine”—a pretend persona who lets her be more vulnerable than her more closed off self. Then Millie matches with the unaware Reid. Oh yeah, here comes trouble...

Oh, beach reads I love thee! I’m so enjoying catching up on Christina Lauren's back catalog! Although very much based on lying, which is a plot point that often stresses me out, I enjoyed My Favorite Half-Night Stand.

This was such an easy-to-read book. Millie is likable, and I could definitely relate to a slightly reticent, closed off soul. 😉 Yes, I did stress out a bit with all the lies and machinations! But, the book was very funny, sexy, and sweet! Millie’s group of friends was wonderful—just a humorous and fun cast. The chemistry between Millie and Reid was great, too! Definitely a good read! 3.5 stars.

After finally viewing the first installment of Street Kings (I was a little late to the party), I decided to throw in Street Kings 2: Motor City. I'm from Michigan, I love Ray Liotta, and the first movie was great. The potential here was almost limitless.

Until the very opening scene cut to open and the wheels began to fall off.

I'm not generally one to hold a films score responsible for too much weight in a movie negatively. A great score can definitely make a good movie great, but I usually don't let the score take a good movie and make it shoddy. This is an exception. The music, right from the beginning, is downright terrible. Have you ever heard a toddler bang a mallet on those obnoxious xylophones? Like that terrible. Sounds like it was put together on some guys thirty year old computer without as much as actually watching the dang movie to make sure it even made sense. It was truly awful throughout.

But even with that, I wouldn't rate a movie solely based on the score. This movie lacked most of the things that made its namesake great. Most of all, it lacked heart. That's something you can't buy.
