starwarsluvr (236 KP) rated Operation Sex Kitten (San Diego Social Scene, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2018
I enjoyed the older guy/younger girl characters.. I enjoyed the writing and the storyline. There was a lot of sexyness in this story. There was a lot of happiness and sadness. The characters were relatable and made me smile. For the most part it was a very light read. It had a bit of angst but not much so it was a nice break from the more hardcore stories. It wasn't all sex which was also nice. I enjoyed the sex along with the romance. I love how they grow together even though he is older but he grows with her. It was wonderful

I voluntary reviewed an ARC copy of this book.
I am hard pressed to find anything Carrie Ann Ryan writes that I dont enjoy. I am not a fan of contemporary romance but I know that Ryan rarely, if ever, disappoints. Inked Expressions has everything you come to love from a Ryan contemporary romance: characters with more depth than the Grand Canyon, a storyline as entertaining as it is romantic, and lets not leave out the steamy scenes between a couple youll root for from page one. Not to mention it is a friends to lovers story which is hands down one of my favorite tropes.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2204 KP) rated The Ninth Daughter (Abigail Adams #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Abigail Adams is going to visit a friend, but her friends isn't home and there's a dead woman on her floor. Who is this woman? When John is accused of the crime, Abigail starts trying to clear her husband. Meanwhile, some tea has just sailed into Boston harbor…. I love Revolutionary era history, so I wanted to like this book. However, it let the detail of life during that time slow down the pace of the story. And the plot that was here was highly predictable.

Amanda Mahaffey (3 KP) rated Where Hope Begins in Books
Mar 15, 2018
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. This book had a lot of good turns and twist in the plot. Some of the things that happened I wasnt expecting but it was very exciting to see how everything worked out in the end. This book was all about forgiveness, 7second chances, bravery, family, and love. The different characters were great and well written. Each of them have there own story that winds them together. Savannah world gets shaken in a way she never expected it. This book made me tear up a couple of times.
Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Between Good And Evil in Books
Feb 21, 2018
I love a mystery that wastes no time with setup and has me in suspense from page 1, and Between Good and Evil did just that. It took a bit to catch on to what was happening in Auburn Notch, but thats not a bad thing. The reader is left to piece things together as the story unfolds just as the characters are, and there is a lot going on. The characters are well formed and the descriptions very detailed. This was a good first installment, and Ill be watching for more Promise Flynn.
NOTE: I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

ashezbookz (32 KP) rated The Program (The Program, #1) in Books
Jul 5, 2018
While this book had some certain tropes in it (hello love triangle) - and it definitely would have some trigger warnings, a few times I was shocked at what I read, not necessarily in a bad way - but some people may actually have issues with this book if they're super sensitive.
the whole suicide epidemic was quite an interesting story to read (granted that right there should trigger people - hey don't read this book) - the whole lobotomy after getting into the program was intense too - though wickedly fun to read about.
i'm very very curious to see where this series goes.....luckily I checked them all out from the library!

Promoting self belief and acceptance.
Not really sure what theI point of this film was.
To me this movie made no sense other than promoting self acceptance, love and family dynamics.
I went into it expecting a scifi, empowering, adventure story, instead I found it overall lacklustre. I was honestly bored after half an hour which rarely happens and the disappointing thing was, that this could have been a great film, it had good potential.
Im not even sure this film would appeal to kids to be honest.
However I would say its very colourful and the visuals are pretty good.

From the very beginning, when she had her accident, died, and was on the ship. When she arrived in Elsewhere, diving to the bottom of the see, to meeting the love of her rewinding life, to her last day on Elsewhere and her reincarnation. It was all I could think of after reading the book, can't even find the right words to discribe the piece of treasure.

Humor (2 more)
It's a Star Wars story
Action
Really Enjoyable
I love Star Wars even though I'm not a huge Sci-fi fan and I wasn't sure what to expect and wasn't sure either if anyone else could play Han Solo... To say I was happy with it would be an understatement - I thought it was brilliant. There was the perfect amount of action mixed with humor, the portrayal of Solo was spot on and could easily been a young Harrison Ford with the mannerisms and speach.
For me it added to the Han Solo character, how he came to be the person we knew and loved from the originals.

Twists all over the place!
An amazingly twisty thriller! I read it quickly, because I just couldn't stop. I needed to know what would happen next.
The plot as we know it going in:
There are three things you should know about me:
1. I'm in a coma.
2. My husband doesn't love me any more.
3. Sometimes I lie.
That's really all I needed to suck me in. And it's all I'll tell you, so you can enjoy the story for yourself without any pre-knowledge. I thought it was well-written, and well done. I've heard rumors that there may be a sequel - I am on board for that!
