Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated In His Command (Don't Tell, #1) in Books

Sep 6, 2019

**I received this copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

I read books for the romance and I'll tell you now, this was full of it, which is why I liked it so much. Normally when I read a MM book, it's more concentrating on the sex, whereas this one concentrated on the relationship and how it grew from mistrust into love. It was so sweet in places and I was bawling for a while near the end.

I liked both of the main characters and how they acted around each other. They were both great guys who'd had to put up with a lot of crap in the past and when they finally got it together I was almost cheering.

Liz, Caspar's best friend and one of his Lieutenants, was also a cool character and though I thought we'd never see her again after they left Alpha, she makes another appearance near the end, which also had me smiling.

I should probably point out that it does concentrate more on the romance and it's progression that the dystopian world but it's still a good tale if you don't mind that minor detail.

If you like MM Romances that actually focus on the romance, then this shouldn't be missed. I recommend it.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Running Into Love (Fluke my Life, #1) in Books

Sep 19, 2019

So I read my first book by this author back in July, Catching Him--a Netgalley read. I liked it but wasn't blown away. So I decided to give this a go, too.

Fawn is running down the street, listening to her music--strangely with her eyes closed?--and bumps literally into Levi sending them sprawling onto the floor. There's an instant attraction but both ignore it and trade a few insults before heading in opposite directions. Only it turns out Levi is moving in across the hall from Fawn.

Before Fawn realises it, she's in a relationship with Levi and they are a cute couple, though Fawn is a little dumb at times. Well, I thought she was a little dumb, Levi thought she was cute in her cluelessness.

I do think the author is very good at writing Alpha males, but they're guys who care about their women and make it obvious they want them. I did like that about Levi.

Fawn's mum and dad made me laugh, mainly her mum with some of her crazy comments like "get yourself knocked up so you don't lose him" and "when's the wedding?"

One again, I liked it but I wasn't in love with the storyline or the characters.

Kristy H (1252 KP) rated My Favorite Half-Night Stand in Books

Oct 14, 2019

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.

Bostonian916 (449 KP) rated Street Kings 2: Motor City (2011) in Movies

Sep 28, 2020

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.
