Released by Kerrigan Byrne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seeing as I have read all of Kerrigan Byrne's books this one was a must have/read.
I have read them all out of order so I wouldn't let something like that hold you up from reading this Highland Romance.
I LOVE Highland Stories and all of KB's books are a sure thing! They each are full of magic, love , passion and plotting bad guys. I feel the story's always have a very well rounded way of unfolding from beginning to the end.
The heat between Rory and Kat is unlike the other stories. They are all individually profound in the way each couple comes together, but they are certainly not Short on the descriptive passion and longing! Which I love~ A truly original idea of a scorned family out for vengeance, this is where the 3 banshee sisters story starts and now I am going to go back and read them all again!! The only complaint is the books are all kinda short but the quality inside is worth it!!!

Endless Knight by Kresley Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan already of Kresley Cole read almost everything she has written and I figured her writing has never steered me wrong before, so when I saw the new release on sale on amazon I was like "Hell Yes".

Totally smitten with this new series KC has brought to the table. I have read some YA books, I tell ya if they are all this great I will amp up my to be read list.

2nd installment read as a stand alone and I was totally cool with how it panned out. Evie is my new home girl I mean talk about growing up super quick. Don't know a girl who could juggle it all: Her love life, on the run , bagmen, teeth and other Arcana looking for a kill (or are they)?
SO many plot twists and unpredictable awesomeness, I read this book in a day. I really thought all the characters like so many of KC's books really stand out they are always so well thought out, I feel you really get a sense of them being individuals and all of them bring importance.
The book and storyline is really exciting and totally fresh, I have not read anything equal to its originality for YA. Which pushes me to really look into this genre.

Dragonfly Kisses by Sabrina York
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had no idea what to expect from Sabrina York since I have not read any of her work as of yet.

Hands down fantastic read. Banged this book out in 1.5 days. I just could not get enough. Dragonfly kisses erupted so many emotions from one page to the next.. First I was really hopeful as Dylan passionately watched his ungettable get. But when Bella and him spark...wow just wow.
I love all kinds of books but Sabrina York really blurs the lines in genre. Her Tryst Island series looks like it can promise you a taste of it all.
You have romance and some chick-lit... and the adult sexy time is drool worthy, but then in the thick of it I was crying.. It was moving and beautiful.
GREAT READ.. especially since it was a freebie from amazon~
Happy reading..xoxo

Take Me Home for Christmas by Brenda Novak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was asked by this author to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book I have read by Brenda Novak, I was not sure what to expect and I have to say what a breath of fresh air!

How long should you punish yourself for past transgressions? A year, 15 years, a lifetime? This is Sophia DeBussi biggest setback in life, that and her missing husband. So hell bent on punishing herself for every wrong decision she ever made in her teenage years, Sophia can't help but take years of abuse as penance. So when her hubby abandons ship, leaving her to tidy up the scandal he left behind, she has to finally get a grip on how she wants to live. With a town filled with scorned hearts is there any room for forgiveness?

This is the only book in the Whiskey Creek series that I have read, I had no problem getting into the story without reading any of the other books. I do however really want to read the rest of them!

I found the writing to be expressive and captivating. Sophia's story really exposes raw human emotion in her unwavering ability to berate herself for pretty much every mistake she has made. This is where I was really drawn in , I really felt connected to her with the past regrets that weigh down future endeavors. So reading her trials and tribulations all the while rooting for her was great.
Brenda Novak has a keen way of bring her characters to life. Eve was inspirational, I thought for a moment she was going to turn into that girl who has your back until it isn't convenient anymore.... but I was pleasantly surprised.

I recommend this book to all you out there who root for the underdog, enjoy reading about selfless people, forgiveness, love and are in need of inspiring humanity.


I read this recently: If you can give one piece of advice to a large group of people what would it be?
When a wave comes, go deep!
Translation: There are 3 things you can do when life sends a wave at you.
1) Run from it, but then it's going to catch up with you and knock you down.
2) You can also fall back on your ego and stand your ground, but then it's still going to clobber you.
3) Or you can use it as an opportunity to go DEEP, and transform yourself to match the circumstances. And that's how you get through the wave.

Song great for this book: Shake it off by Florence and the Machine.
I want to extend a Huge thank you to the author b/c out of all the books I have read I really feel I need to read this one at this point in my life.
Thanks~ Happy Reading~
