Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Worth It (Forbidden Men, #6) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
Not as good as some of the others
This series is a must buy for me. I've loved all of them so far, some more than others, admittedly, but none less than four stars.
This one didn't hook me as much as the others but I still felt a lot of emotion when it came to Knox. The poor guy. I wanted to equally hug him and slap him through out the present parts of the story.
I really like how the stories are inter twining. Cousins, brothers, best friends, school friends...its a little complicated at times but I like it.
My favourite Forbidden man has got to be Ten, still, but they're all really great. I can't wait to read Asher's story next!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Stop (Cold Mark Saga #3) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
This is definitely a series that is better read one after the other--unless you have a really good memory for books.
I read book 2 around Christmas and had forgotten a lot of what had happened previously when I bought this a couple of hours ago and decided to read it straight away.
I remembered the east and west and the two members that ruled each side, that she had belonged to one but seen something that shocked/hurt her and she had run off to the other...and that was about it.
Sci-fi is not one of my favourite genres and because of that I think I'm going to end my reading of this series here at book 3.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Perfect Opposite in Books
Jan 12, 2021
I liked the idea for the story--bad-arse rocker looking bodyguard and his "Princess" charge fall in love. Opposites attracting.
I liked Alex--the above said bad-arse rocker looking bodyguard; Mohawk, tattoo's and all. I really don't know how he put up with her at times.
I just wasn't so fond of Sasha--she really was the brat that she was dubbed as for most of the story. The way she acted at times I wanted to smack her or strangle her.
As for the rest...I wasn't expecting that little twist near the end and then I found the ending a little "Ugh".
But if I ignore a lot of what Sasha got up to I liked it.

Sara Cox (1845 KP) rated Aphrodite Made Me Do It in Books
Jun 28, 2019
I was really surprised by this book. It's a collection of poetry, prose and inspirational artwork. I was really drawn in to the first collection, written as if by Aphrodite herself. The following collections were more personal and hit so many chords for me - they are about being a woman, about worries, about abuse, about relationships with other people, about relationships with yourself and about sexuality. A lot in there was so truthful and raw. Things that need to be said. I actually feel lighter for reading them, as if they have enabled me to let go parts of myself that weighed me down. I would usually turn away from books like this, but I'm glad that I managed to get a copy and read it.
Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Breaking In (1989) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
This one has been done to death really. Child/children taken by bad people. Parent goes nuts to get them back. But despite this fact... I still love watching them. Especially where it's a woman that is on a mission. At this point I'd like any would be attackers and burglars that after all these movies, and many Home Alone marathons that I feel very prepared to defend my territory... and I'm watched a lot of CSI, so I'm getting away with everything too.
Where The Strangers was predictable and dull, this was predictable and yet still entertaining. It's not going to win any awards, and was annoyingly a little short, but still a good watch to pass the time.

AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor in Books
Sep 2, 2019
Couldn’t put it down
Adam Kay delights us with his diary entries of his time as a Junior doctor. I was gripped from the moment I started and couldn’t put the book down! I found myself getting pulled in with the highs and lows of his chosen profession. There were lots of giggles to be had, and some solemn moments also. But more than this it shines yet further light on those men and women that sacrifice a lot in the pursuit of healing others and the poor conditions that they find themselves working in. Thanks @Smashbomb for picking me in the giveaway, and allowing me the opportunity to read something so thought provoking.
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Brother in Books
Sep 5, 2019
I seem to have a thing for Yaoi--Boys Love--and since I like my M/M Romances, why wouldn't I?
This was kinda cute once it got going. I wasn't sure what it was going to be like but once I started it, I fell into it.
To me, it read like a typical M/M Romance--a friends to lovers sort of thing, only they were step brothers.
I just have to admit I like to see it happen, because I don't always have the best imagination with books, I don't picture my characters in my head like others do. So having the comic strip helps me a lot.
Off to start Brother 2 to see if it's as good as this one.

AT (1676 KP) rated Butterfly in Frost in Books
Oct 7, 2019
I borrowed this book from the library, assuming it would be another light, smut-laced Sylvia Day read. A mindless, fun, beach read. However, for a fairly short novella, Ms. Day certainly packed it with deep emotion and sincerity, which took me by surprise. Parts of the story were funny or exciting, while other parts were gut-wrenching. I was pleasantly surprised by Butterfly in Frost. The story was quite complex, emotionally, in a very short number of pages. It could have stood to be longer, and felt like it probably skipped over a lot of details in a couple of spots. However, for a novella, this really grabbed my emotional heartstrings in a stronger way than I expected it to.
