I have to say the book started slowly. Then it got much better as it got into the meat of the story. To me the end was a bit of a surprise.

This book was a little slow to start, but an easy read nonetheless. As a romance novel, you knew that there had to be some sex in the story, and boy was it steamy between Nick and Bennie. Pretty special relationship forms between Bennie and Josh. Who would she pick?

I normally don't read historical romances, and I'm not quite sure how I ended up with this one in my possession. But I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised when I read it. Most historical romances I have read in the past are just dull and uninteresting (to me), this one I found that I wanted to keep reading it. Sure you knew how it was going to end, but it was an interesting journey to get there.

The story is about Larissa, a young lady left in charge of her family home while her father sets sail for business. Thinking that his brother had been wronged by her family, Vincent sets out to ruin Larissa's family. In the process they fall in love. Of course as it is with all romance novels, you know that they are going to end up together, happy ever after and all that stuff.

A great ending to the series, even though I didn't want it to end! Fred is probably one of the best female characters I've read in ages, and one I'd love to be friends with.

Spoiler below——–>

Fred has to deal with everyone invading her space in the house she's renting in Florida. Along the way she ends up with a few housemates-Jonas who's busy planning his wedding (and wanting Fred's help with that), Thomas who suddenly appears out of no where, and her dad who was previously believed to be dead. Artur proposes to Fred, and after thinking about it she accepts, but feels that something isn't right.

The first book seemed to be much better, BUT it was still a really easy read, and still really enjoyable.

Fred is having to deal with Jonas (her BFF since 2nd grade) dating her boss Dr. Barb and both of them trying to hook her up with different friends of theirs. After coming home from another disaster of a blind date, Fred walks into her apartment to find not just the 2 lovebirds, but some fellow Underwater Folk who won't take no for an answer when they invited her to a huge gathering of other folks. She agrees to go only if Jonas is able to go. Imagine Fred's surprise when she get to the gathering and sees not only Artur but also Thomas. Fred got the chance to learn more about her father, but a chance to learn more about her father's people. In the end she decides to go home with Artur to learn more about that side of her family.

Wonder what will happen in the next book.

I have to say this was one of the funniest books I've read in ages. Fred is a no nonsense type of person, um I mean mermaid. She's a marine biologist who ends up working with 2 different guys, Thomas and Prince Artur, to investigate the source of toxins in appearing in Boston Harbor. She never expects to have 2 guys fall in love with her, and fight over her. Who will she choose? I have to read the next book in the series to find out.

This is the 3rd book in a series. I need to read the others now. Ollie Paras is a great character. I just want to read the other books in the series so I can better understand the attitudes of some of the other characters in the story. I guess that's what happens when you don't read the series from the beginning.

A Hard Day's Death is a strong 3.75 in my opinion. The first couple of chapters were slow, but once it started going, I had trouble putting the book down. The characters are almost believeable, of course I know a few were a little exaggerated-it is set in NYC with a rock ‘n roll crowd.

I found it funny when I saw that this book was classified as a thriller. To me a thriller is full of blood, guts, and gore. To me this novel is along the same lines as the other books of Benson's that I read-almost James Bond in nature.

This was an easy read, there was of course a gimme at the end. I have enjoyed all of the Pamela Britton books I have read, and I will read more. I have passed them all on to my mom who in turn has passed them on to other friends.

This is a strong 3.5-3.75. I enjoyed the story (which is good since I read it in less than a week). This isn't the first story I have read that contained Lil Marchette and Dead End Dating. It was an exciting read as I haven't read a vampire book in a while. The book was good at the beginning, then got a little slow in the middle. The finish was strong.

I'd say this is a good easy summer-time read.

I would give this story a very strong 3.75, close to a 4. I found it to be an easy read (I know it's a YA and I'm a grown-up, but still!). I think what I enjoyed most was seeing Josh open his eyes a little and realize that at 13 the world doesn't revolve around him. Sure he seemed self-centered, but hey, he's 13! It was great seeing him grow through the story.

The book started off really funny! I found it in the book store and started laughing instantly. I decided to get it the next time I went to the library (the same afternoon). Hubby and I started reading it aloud to each other. I think he almost ended up with a bruise because I kept hitting him I was laughing so hard. After about the 3 chapter though, I didn't find it so much as laugh out loud and just smile.

I would say a possible 2.5 as this had great potential. I just seemed to drag on longer than it should have. And honestly, it didn't seem to go along with the teaser on the back cover. I was actually quite disappointed with it.

Kate is a great character though at times I couldn't believe she was so smart that she couldn't see what was around her. Then again, I think people might say that about me. Jake is another great character. I could see him as not wanting to join the rest of the “world” as he had been burned. But who hasn't at some point in their life?

I really enjoyed this novel. I think this may be the fastest I've read a story in a long time.

This is the second book that I've read by Alesia Holliday. I'm not sure if it's the fact that some time has passed since I've read the first one (American Idle) or if my life has just changed, but I don't think that I enjoyed this one as much as the first one.

When I started reading the story, I found it to be a bit slow, and hard to get into. But as I read more, I found myself enjoying the story and almost carrying about the characters. The ending was a little predictable, but it's great to see that “Nice Girls” can finish first.

This for me was a major change of pace, mainly because it's not a romance or “chick” lit. I loved it all the same. I hope to see my daughter reading it when she gets older (she's only 2 at the moment).

I have to say it was really refreshing and wonderful. I think it's been a long time since I've read a book that I just wanted to cheer for the main character. In many ways I see a lot of me in Anne, mainly because I am just as stubborn as she is. I think it's a great story that has stood the test of time.

This is a book that I believe every woman could relate too. And it's one that I will be recomending to everyone I know. It's not often that I find a book with a character that I can relate to, let alone 8. I'm not saying that each woman in the book is me, but there are bits and pieces of me in each woman. I think in a way, I can relate the most to Chris. She has always been one to watch the world happen, and to be pretty isolated from “friends.” In a way, I'm just like her. I would LOVE to find a group of women who I could call my friends like she did.

I have often felt like doing what these women did-just walk away from everything, even if just for a few days. I have been inspired to take care of me, for me. I'm not sure what that means for me, just that I know I have to do it.

This novel starts off a little out of the norm, as there is a list of characters at the beginning-not something most people are used to seeing. But as I read the story, I found myself turning back to the list to make sure I had things right in my head.

As someone who comes from a close family, I understand what the Hill family is all about. It seems as though a couple of people all but ordered the family to their Aunt Lily's house for the summer. It turns out that the family was coming together for one last summer with Ginger, who is very ill, but with what you are never really told. I could see my family doing something like this with one of our own. Actually, we all but have done that.

Anyway, I think it's a great read. And I feel compassion for the family.

This is my first werewolf novel, and I hope it won't be my last. The heroine, Dr. Melanie Harding, was pretty good, but part of me was wondering if she really was as smart as you would expect a vet to be. I mean, honestly, who doesn't call the police when they hear a gunshot in the middle of the night? I know I would, especially if I was new to an area, and lived near the woods in a town with the history of the town she just moved to.

I also find it hard to believe that the US military would have security as lax as they had on Ft. Lukman. I've been around enough military bases to know that they are super-secured, especially in the past 10 years.

Overall, a great read! I enjoyed it.

This book is chockful of ideas to motivate anyone who is trying to do fundraising at their school! I can't wait to use some of the ideas at my son's school.

I had trouble getting into the story. The first 5 chapters kept introducing new characters who's stories did not seem to go together. It was hard wanting to “care” about the characters when you couldn't see a connection between them. Once the connections were made, it was a great story. I found myself cheering for the little horse that no one thought could do anything in the racing world.

It was actually a nice change to read a comedy/mystery/romance novel. Like I usually do, I didn't read the first book in the series. Now I have to go back and read the rest of them in order!

I am a huge fan of Lance Armstrong. And I loved this book. Its a great look into his life.

For me this was a great read. Maybe a little too “neat and perfect” but hey, it is a Harlequin book. For me it was great reading a book from the NASCAR “series” of books. Having been in Canada for a year, it's the little things I miss from back home (Virginia). This helped me feel a little better as it reminded me of home.

When I started reading this book I had no preconceived notions of what was to happen as it's the second in a series and I have not read the first one. When I was in the middle of chapter 3, I found myself wondering if the category was wrong. I found it to be very erotic, and surprised to find it as a romance. Then in the next chapter I found myself laughing-not something that you expect to find in erotica.

Overall, I say it was a good read. Nothing too “brain-teaser” about it. You know that Jenna and Gage will end up together just because it's a romance novel, and usually the main pair have their happily ever after. What I found enjoyable was Aunt Charlotte even though she's not on the story all that much. She is a great character who I'm sure lots of people would love to have in their corner.
