Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated (Un)like a Virgin in Books
Sep 6, 2019
I'm not a huge fan of chick-lit at all. I prefer something a little more exciting than just following a woman around in her daily life.
That's not to say I didn't like this, because it was okay.
I have this thing where covers attract me to books and come on! It's a really fun, funky cover. But as I mentioned above chick-lit is not one of my favourite genre's. In fact, this was a DNF after 111 pages out of 400 and odd, though I did skim through the pages and what I thought would happen, didn't.
I still liked Gracie and I'm sure that if I could have brought myself to pick it back up and continue that I may have liked it. But from the 100 or so pages I read it was okay.

Merissa (11805 KP) rated Dirty Heart (Cole McGinnis #6) in Books
May 30, 2023
In the final book of the series, we get closer to finding out just why Ben shot Rick and Cole right at the beginning. Of course, this being a Cole McGinnis book, there's just no simple answer. We have to have people shot, chases, action, and don't forget the llamas! There are less than six degrees of separation for our characters, and as the mystery unfolds, characters show up that were once closely linked to Cole, Bobby, and Ben.
Well-written with a brilliant epilogue, this brilliantly concludes the series. And it is a series, a proper, full-on series, so you will need to read from book one for it to make any sense. If you like M/M Mystery Romance, then I can definitely recommend this.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Love's Mountain Quest (Hearts of Montana, #2) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
Love’s Mountain Quest by Misty M. Beller is the second book in her Hearts of Montana series. It can be read as a stand-alone (I have not read the first book yet) and not be left feeling like you are missing something.
Joanna, I thought was an interesting character. She is straight forward, she knows what she wants, and is a strong woman both physically and mentally. I thought Misty M. Beller did a great job of using these strengths while balancing out her softer feminine side. Isaac was more layered than Joanna as the story unfolds. He has a sense of mystery about him right until the very end. I thought both characters balanced each other out.
The storyline follows Joanna and Isaac on their quest to rescue Joanna’s son bouncing back and forth between them and the bandit’s party and their captives. I thought it flowed very well and kept the story progressing at a very good rate.
I give this story 4 out of 5 stars for the interesting characters, the theatrical elements to the story, and for the good flowing storyline. While this story was good, it did not live up to Misty M. Beller’s usual storytelling craftsmanship. I think because there was not as much detail and meaningful interaction between characters. But it was still a good story that I recommend reading.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Dangerous in Books

***ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.***
Something caught me early on with this. It was probably Liams I-know-Im-good-and-dont-need-to-prove-it mentality. The way nothing phased him until he met Devon Candler and everything went right out the window.
Devon could literally be the definition of sex and though she wants Liam she tries to resist him. You cant help but like her, really, with her tough chick attitude. She could certainly look after herself and designed some bad-ass weapons.
That being said, I have to admit I got a little bored in places. It might have been all the description, which Im not that big a fan of, or the really long paragraphs (also not a fan of) and kept putting it down the more we got into the story, just wanting the plot to hurry up and play out. Dont get me wrong. Its a good book and Im glad I read it but there wasnt any introduction to the new world we were in, thats my only problem with it apart from the above-mentioned things but they relate to me personally.
It was certainly something a little different to what I normally read and I honestly did enjoy it.
If you like something futuristic with paranormal vibes then this is probably right up your street. Add a splash of romance and youre all set for an intense journey.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Still Life (Forever Still #1) in Books
May 7, 2019
This is the first book in the series and what a fab start it is. This is a story about two broken people trying to mend. This story is heart breaking as well as beautiful. The characters are fab and work well within the story. Its a bit slow in the beginning but stick with it, it is definitely worth it. I cant wait to read book 2.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2103 KP) rated M Is for Mama's Boy (NERDS, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The NERDS team is back and on the trail of a bank robber using squirrels as his accomplishes. Is it an old friend turned villain? This Bond spoof for kids is a very funny ride that I completely loved. Definitely consider it for kids in life, but read it yourself first. You'll love it, too.

This weeks cinema viewing best thriller I've seen this year in my opinion Dave baustista best role yet not normally I would say about former wrestler turned actor but he’s really good in this gives an amazing performance and then there’s Rupert grint won’t give too much away but the movie needed more Rupert grint anyway good story good performances from the small cast and probably m night shyamlian best film in along time
