Follows the life of a male high school student, Simon, who is currently disguising that he is gay. He then finds comfort in an online friend who is struggling with the same problem. Simon then endeavours to find out who his online recipient is, while all along trying to keep his sexuality a secret.

I enjoyed watching popular film with an LGBT main character.
Simon is a lovable and an easily relatable teenager.

This was a super easy, quick, and heart happy read. The characters had chemistry that you could see on the pages and imagine off the pages. It gave a strong female lead a strong male lead to compliment her. They work together instead of fighting with each other. It was a definite move from the normal young adult rom-com read.
This is perfect if you need a quick happy read where everything isn't terrible for the main characters the entire book.

Thanks to the publisher for letting me read an early copy through Netgalley.

Action scenes were amazing. CGI was so believable, almost forgot you weren't there. (0 more)
Not in 3D. Would have been epic in 3D (0 more)
Again, The Rock brought it home...
Love any movies with a strong Male lead as long as they also have a strong female that makes them remember they have a soft side too. Seeing the lengths a father and husband would go to save his family despite any limitations was wonderful. Just enough action/drama ratio so ladies will enjoy and men will not get bored.

this is a good cowboy romance story. The male character is just so sweet, you will definitely melt as you read. This book can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series. This is the perfect book for the winter months, with sexy cowboys to keep you reading long into the night and beyond. I cant wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.

Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Read this as part of the PPA volume one anthology

I loved it. A well written and thought out story. I don't like to give out spoilers and so I won't, but I will say that it was a fantastic read. Woman has unusual complications after a divorce. Needs a date that's not human, who does she call? Paranormal protection agency of course. Very hot tale. Alpha male and petite sensual woman.

Definitely suggest this to anyone who loves steamy romance.
Go... Buy... Read. You won't regret it.
  
Natalie is beginning to regret hosting a weight loss retreat at her bed and breakfast in Maine when she sees how her boyfriend reacts to being reunited with the female leader. However, when the male leader is murdered, Natalie has even bigger things to worry about, like keeping her boyfriend out of jail. A strong plot and sub-plot kept me turning pages even if the suspect characters could have been stronger.

This was a fairly good book filled with short stories. Most of the stories were very well done and some failed to capture my attention. I'm glad that I bought this book. It was definitely entertaining and a way of finding new authors.

I definitely have a weakness for romance with military men. There is nothing sexier than an alpha male in camo. I thought that these stories were definitely entertaining and it was nice to have a stopping point every 30 pages or so. I really enjoyed this book.

Top up on hapless heroines and romance in this year's collection of eleven beautifully crafted short stories. Jojo Moyes is a skilful spinner of characters and fantasy male/female relationships and this short collection is just as satisfying as her novels. The protagonists are warm and slightly quirky which makes them endearing and memorable. If you haven't read a book for a while, short stories are just what you need to warm up your reading habits this winter. Several stories in this collection will get you hooked on Moyes light hearted take on the world

I've always had fond memories of watching this movie as a child. Listening to the audio book narrated by Wilem Dafoe (who did great job, although the voices for Bethany and Rudy were extremely irritating) was pretty great overall. My biggest criticism is that a couple of the male characters stand out as exceptionally competent while the females are weak and needy, and it makes things feel a little imbalanced. I rewatched the movie after finishing it, and although the effects don't hold up that well, give it a shot anyway!

Light-as-a-feather comic fantasy is strikingly risque given it was made in the 1940s. A mermaid takes a short holiday in London (disguised as a woman confined to a wheelchair) and carves a swathe through the men she encounters, much to the indignation of their wives and fiancees.

Cheery stuff, with nice comic performances from Glynis Johns and Margaret Rutherford. Surprisingly suggestive as well - the male lead is clearly implied to be at it with the mermaid despite being a married man. Not at all meant to be taken seriously, but charming nevertheless.
