Archangels Kiss

Archangel's Kiss (Guild Hunter, #2)Archangel's Kiss by Nalini Singh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What did I think you ask?.... Captivating utterly captivating..
Archangels Kiss... See this is what I was talking about, when I said come up with something out of nowhere, and see where is goes. Nalini Singh has this wonderful imagination that are what some of the most unforgettable books are made of. This author did just that with these angels and vampires, she made them he own not like the same o same o we read over and over again in other paranormals. This series stands alone.

Now see, this is an Angel story to sink your teeth into. I'll admit the first book of this series had me in a 'I dont know if I take anymore stage,' but once I read the first three pages... I couldn't put this book down. This book was even better. Nalini Singh is so creative with her writing. Her words are like liquid butter. They make you think and wonder. She say's things like " A hint of midnight whispered in his tone; shadows so thick they were almost corporeal."... It was like wow! I could imagine how his voice was a whisper in midnight, sounds like a caress to me.. yum... Sorry if my review is all over the place but this is just coming out of my head like an explosion.

This book was the like instrumental music to a song by Adele called Turning Tables, sensual and dark, seductive even a little erotic, but not the nasty erotic, just plain lovely, I tell you... It was even funny at times. Kept me intrance with the wonder of it all. Let me tell you there are so many things I liked about this book. The Angels the wings, the smells. I could truly go into my imagination and see, hear, taste, smell, and feel everything in this book. I love the different looks of every angel we meet. Nalini brings them to life with her description of them you can actually picture what they might look like, so many colors. I loved it, know one was the same. It made it even more enjoyable to read with so many ethnic groups of Angels and Vampires from all over the world.

I loved that this book was focused more on the romance, and the feelings between Raphael and Elena. Their love was like a song from Neyo "Say it." that Raphael is so yummy his words to Elena just had me feeling like a waffel cone thats dripping down to the floor. I also liked that coming from being so tuff as a human in the first book, Elena showed her vulnerability a lot in this as an immortal. A new baby Angel; but she stayed true to who she was though. It was also lovely see Raphael's love and attention, his possessiveness and protectiveness, he had towards Elena. He had his seven working it guarding her.... I loved the Seven too. Raphael has some bad a$$ boys that got his back. They are all different and interesting enough you want to learn more about them... Dmitri, Illium, Jason, and Aodhan just to name a few. I'd love to read about them more.. :) The only problem I could come up with this book is that there are so many to people in it I kept getting confused at times. But other than that I was seriously seduced by this story and cant wait for more..

Well have I said enough? I think so my hands hurt now... lol anyway I can't wait to get to the next book. Here is my couple Happy Reading...

Raziel

Raziel (The Fallen, #1)Raziel by Kristina Douglas

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Ok the they don't give you a half to put with your rating and if I wanted to grade this it I'd give a c+ wouldn't that be like 31/2★'s? Because this was one of those books that people will have mixed feelings for. One of those 'I like but don't love it'... I thought this was a very interesting story. I'm really liking the fallen angel genera just wish I could find me one that's a awesome love story... I'm so tired of vampires but then again these fallen angels had fangs just like vamps ooooh save me from the same ol folk lore lets just come up with something from no where and see where it goes... LOL? This book like I said interesting and strange the povs was nice at times other times I just felt like they were just thinking to darn much... I liked Raziel he just keept fighting what he wanted to darn long... Allie had to warm up to me but I ended up like her the most out of the everybody her sense of humor kept the story going for me...

Thing I didn't get is, she dies right?... no spoiler it says that in the back of the book description... Anyway he saves her from hell and takes her to his lair and of course they get together and all that but he kept saying that she would eventually get old and die...ok got me confused there I thought she was dead and was now with the fallen so wouldn't that make her immortal too?....Well I read the preview of the next book after this and I will say I am definitely curious about this series and will not give up on it and read the next one... I hope I didn't put you off this I say give it a try. I was glad that I did..
You never know you might fine something wonderful... :)

Here's my couple....Happy Reading!

Fist Drop Of Crimson

First Drop of Crimson (Night Huntress World, #1)First Drop of Crimson by Jeaniene Frost

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Well Spade story kinda fell flat to me we had the fun banter but the relationship between him and Denise was just blah I kinda skimmed a lot. This was not as good as Bones and Cats. I was so happy when they showed up in this story to bring some life to it. I also adore Ian I cant wait for her to do a story on him all in all it was and ok read there were some funny moments some sad moments and some happy ones too. I thought I needed to read this before I went to book 5 but it turns out I didn't miss a thing.. But I will continue to wait to read it and go on to Mencheres's story next wish me luck hope its better than this one. ;)



Here's my couple... Happy Reading

Finding Opa!

Finding Opa! (The Lonely Heart Series)Finding Opa! by Latrivia Nelson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Well this was a surprise from Latrivia. Finding Opa was a wonderful read though short it was, it still packed a unforgettable punch. My my this woman can write she is so creative, she makes you truly believe the stories she writes. I actually felt like I was reading someones biography, this book had me crying laughing getting frustrated and shouting for joy. I truly felt like I was going through every emotion in this. SPOLIER ! There was one part in the book where the couple are in the bathroom taking a pregnancy test and he's in there with her and she's sitting there peeing and he takes the stick from her and looks at it and tells her the news she jumps up from the toilet panties down and pee drops on the toilet seat she grabs tissue and wipes herself...Mind you all this happens with her man infront of her... I thought it was awesome they way she put that in there it just made their relationship so real to me, so realistic. I know that must have been a bit much but you have to read it to know what I'm talking about. That being said I truly enjoyed this book and am so sadden that I have nothing else by Ms. Latrivia to read I can not wait until her the next book..

Here's my couple... Happy Reading :)

✬Anatoly Medlov✬

Anatoly Medlov: Complete Reign (The Medlov Crime Family Series)Anatoly Medlov: Complete Reign by Latrivia S. Nelson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Well I'l be darn another amazing story that I zoomed through, how long do I have to wait for another one of her books? So Anatoly having to prove himself as boss of the Medlov crime family goes through a lot in this third addition to the series Lust, Jealousy, revenge, lost, and even love, but the cool thing and the best thing about this book is Dmitry having his sons back on everything, he is truly the man of this series when ever I get to a page and Dmityr's on it I'm like "dang!! here comes the real boss." His presence steals the show.

I like Anatoly's relations ship with Renee but did not love it. It seemed to come out of no where maybe if there was more background of them getting to know each other in the other two books. I'm mean they were mention in the first book being in the same room as each other when Royal threw a Thanksgiving dinner then in the next book Renne was barley mention at all and if she was, there was no connection to Anatoly. Then we come to this book and they are all of a sudden best friends. I felt like I missed that getting to know part completely like I got with Dmitry and Royal. Everything else was fantastic though, the love scenes, Victoria finally getting hers, and the added addition to the family a cousin named Gabriel being the son of Ivan. I hope he gets his own story. And last but not least my personal favorite was just more of Dmitry and Royal scenes... I love that couple.

I do have say Ms. Nelson can sure write some steamy, sexy to die for love scenes that have you wanting to read again and again, there was a couple of times I was like " he did what now? Hold up I got read that again"... Well Latrivia still seems to stay on my top list of best I/R Authors ever! Can't wait for her next book...

Heres my couple.... Happy Reading!

♛Royal Flush♕

Dmitry's Royal FlushDmitry's Royal Flush by Latrivia S. Nelson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


You know what I like best about Ms. Nelson's Stories is when there is conflict she doesn't drag it out for like 10 chapters or even like ten chapters. She hits you with the suspense then the drama then resolves it with a happy satisfied ending. Even with the good and the bad things that happen. You Go GIrle! She is amazing in her writing. This second installment of the Medlov's had me felling all the emotions of a pregnant woman... I laughed I cried I got angry, hungry too every time they mention food. having been pregnant four times I know what those emotions feel like... lol

What Royal and went through was beyond words I swear that Dmitry is on my man of worth list for sure. What I also like about how she writes these amazing men the fact that she keeps them real. Like when Dmitry is tempted the way he was with Victoria she made him be true to what he was... A man. No man would not get aroused from the way she acted with him... Even though I was upset at him for it it was what it was realistic. Latrivia is a truly educated women with all this background knowledge of organized crime had me liking at cash checking places with a ne light....lol
I loved Royals strength ant boy was she a women of worth you truly feel everything thing I was so caught up in this Drama I hated it to end. I'm all over the place with this review but the main thing I want to get out is that its worth the buy and worth read... I'm gonna shut my mouth now and get on to finishing up Anatoly story so I can get that review up

Well here is my lovely couple with there added addition to there Family.... Happy Reading. :)

✯Dmitry's Closet✯

Dmitry's Closet (The Medlov Crime Family, #1)Dmitry's Closet by Latrivia S. Nelson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What do I think about this book?

I think that Latrivia Nelson has done it again!!!...Well actually she did it even better with this one I loved that it was a romance with a mob theme it was amazing, because she still kept the romance in it, actually there was even more romance it this book than her last. To me this was a true romance novel I loved every single page... that was one of the reasons I took so long to read this because I knew I would just zoom right through it. Every character in this book was amazing I mean AMAZING! I loved her descriptions of everyone you felt like you knew them I loved Dmitry he was a cold hearted killer when it came to his organization but when it came to loving Royal uh I was seriously jealous had me daydreaming about becoming a crime boss's girl. This is a must have, a must read, a must keep on your shelf, and re -read again... I cant wait to get to Royal Flush to continue the new life that Dmitry and Royal will lead... I recommend this to all who want some different type of romance with a mob guy it was awesome and not to mention the return of Nicola its good to know he is still with Ivy and staying true to her... keeping her pregnant and all....;)



What more can I say about this book..... well let me see can I say again how AMAZING this was. Royal looking for work walks into a restaurant and into a world she never imagine would be her's. Rich as can be Dmitry literally sweeps her off her feet with diamonds and the a job of her dreams and not to mention an unbreakable deep founding love to make your heart weak with longing.... Dmitry crime boss from Russia doing what he normally does didn't expect to be fall in love with the breathtakingly beautiful naive young girl that walked into his restaurant she literally changes his life he even broke his own codes to be with her. I loved how Dmitry courted her and took his time but Ms. Nelson didn't make us wait too long for them to get together and when they did... girrrl let me tell you It was hot, hot, hot. OMG! I tell you again this book was amazing and I hope you enjoy reading it like I did.



Here's my couple..... Happy Reading :)

Shiver

Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1)Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I don't understand why I could not connect with this book I felt like there was no real depth to the characters... This seemed like it could have been a really good story on the same lines as twilight but there was just too much that was off and unrealistic to me. I hate to compare books to twilight cause I want to give books a chance after something so good you want every book after that to be just as good.

I didn't get her parents they left this poor girl in a car when she was young and she almost died and they weren't close to her. They were hardly every home for a kid that almost died twice you would have thought they would have been a bit more caring. I do like the both points of view but it was just a lot of blah to me..



All I can say is I tried for the second time to read this and still came up with not being able to get into the book I skimmed through a lot just to get it done I did pay full price for this book so I had to read it. Definitely will not be reading the rest of this series. But it is different for every body so dont go by my review you need to read Shiver and judge if for yourself I mean a lot of my G/Rs friends liked it...



Well here is my couple I did manage to come up two people that I thought were Sam & Grace.

Hunger Games:::: Is no Joke

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Hunger Games was insane I'm so not kidding you.... insane. I cant believe the things I just finish reading. The writing was spectacular kept me inthralled all the way to the end when I was finally able to let out air I had been holding. There is so much that can be said here this book had me anxious nervous scared barley breathing at times crying was a big one, lil Rue! I still am upset about that. There was so much death, this kind of reminded me of when we had to read in high school the Lord of the Flies. where the kids get all savage... The way they had to kill each other for there district was so sad to me. Katniss was a good character I loved her strength she truly thought like a savior through the whole thing I'm just sad that she didn't get what Peeta was all about he was like a lost puppy dog through all this. I feel so sorry for him I'm not even sure her love will ever be true she did keep thinking of Gale so....



I give this book five stars because it was really and truly a well written story very captivating I just don't think I could go on to the others in this series, its hard for me to read about kids getting hurt that way being a mom and all.. ya know.. I am seriously stressed out form reading this it was that intense. I do here they are going to make the movie a bit more romantic so I might check that out being the romantic freak that I am this was definitely a different read for me. But I am so glad that I read it.



Heres my couple Yeah I know its not who they picked for the movie but I just kept picturing this girl she's Katniss to me that beauty that you dont notice till you get a real good look and as for Peeta This guy just seems just as soft as Peeta is... Happy Reading. :)

City of Fallen Angels

City of Fallen Angels (The Mortal Instruments, #4)City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Well what can I say about this book?.... WOW! thats what I can say about...

I thought it was awesomely written Cassandra Clare is a talented story teller I was sucked into this story from the very first page their were so many surprises twist turns. The ending has me a little confused with what was happening with Jace and Sebastian , but I cant wait to see what happens in the next installment of this series. Like I've said before I'd recommend this book to all who loved Harry Potter. The one thing that I loved more about this book is being a romance freak I loved that the love story in this between Jace and Clary was so sweet. Well I'm out of things to say because this book has just got me so speechless..... I've had this book in my closet waiting to be read but knew once I got started I wouldn't be able to stop well let me tell you when I got to the last 4 pages I put the book down for 3 days because I didn't want it to end... I cant wait for them to get the movie out!!! Oh! and Simon Im glad he was a major part in this story cant wait to read more about him too.




Honestly Alex Pettyfer would make the perfect Jace but after watching him promote his last two movies he is starting to look a bit too old for the part as Jace now dont you agree? Just like Daniel is for Harry Potter to me he looked like a 25 year old in the last movie...lol

❤Sins Of The Heart❤

Sins of the Heart (Otherkin trilogy, #1)Sins of the Heart by Eve Silver

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Ok, with this one. I had a hard time with my rating. I couldn't decide if I wanted to give it a 4✭ or 5✭'s. My reasons for wanting to give it a 5✭ was That, this was a great story full of mystery and excitement and wonder. The story is so complexed but at the same time you do understand whats going on. It's full of many puzzling pieces that you have to figure out and put together. I found myself enjoying it.



I also liked all the characters and we sure do have a lot of them to get to know. You have Roxy and Dagan who were a great team and hot together when they finally met up again. A butt kickin couple rocks! Dagan has three brothers that we kinda get to know, I really liked them and can't wait to hear more about them in the other books to this series.



Reasons for wanting to give it a 4 was because, I have a pet peeve about books being labeled paranormal romance and they turn out to be more of an urban fantasy book. The romance in this story does not come until way more than half of the book, like say pg. 300. Being a sucker for romance I found the book lacking in that area, but when it came it came with a punch and it was well written and well worth the wait...



So it came down to going with 4✭'s (being a romance freak) hey I like that maybe I should change my profile name to that. ;) Any way all in all great story slow on getting the couple to be together but great a storyline over all should have been labeled as an urban fantasy.



Heres my vision of Dagan&Roxy.. I also have a theme song for this book ever had one? (Sweet Dreams)by Beyonce.

THe Daughter of The Forest

Daughter of the Forest  (Sevenwaters, #1)Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What a wonderful storyteller Juliet Marillier is. I absolutely loved this book It was so deep and full of emotions. The retelling of the seven swans was done wonderfully. I thought at the beginning I was going to have a hard time reading this, but the author has a way of telling a story that makes you want to listen and yearn for more.

Sorcha the sister of seven brothers that were put under a spell, had to endure a lot to break the curse the evil witch that also married their father and enchanted him put on them. She had to take a vow of silence and make six shirts out of this weed, plant, or flower.(wasn't quite sure what is was) but it was called stawort and was painful to touch. She also could not mention in any kind of way what task she had and why...

She went through so much and had been so strong through this whole entire book I really felt for her and her brothers. Then she gets kidnapped and rapped at some point and meets the love of her life course she doesn't realize this till the end but their friendship that turned into love was beautifully written. I fell in love with Red he was truly a man of worth.

I recommend this book to all who love a good fantasy story thats filled with action, love, death, trauma, and is spiritual and touches your heart and makes your truly believe that love is the strongest thing we have in life..

Here is my Sorcha and Red. :) Happy Reading

The Kiss Of Ashen Twilight

A Kiss of Ashen Twilight (Ashen Twilight Series #1)A Kiss of Ashen Twilight by Rae Lori

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Vampires, Shape Shifters, and Fairies Oh My! I Thought this was pretty good, I liked that they have a immortal leadership (Ashen Twilight House) where each immortal race rules and tries to keep them all in order and away from the eyes of mortals. I also loved Rae Lori's description of her Fantasy world and the historical part as well, took me to a place I could believe.

I thought all characters great. I liked all the action and mystery behind the elemental. I thought Jace and Ariya were good together but felt that the romance between them was a lil too slow, don't get me wrong I'm glad they didn't jump each others bones straight at the beginning. I was just hoping for more scenes of them together, what can I say sucker for romance and sexual tension.

I enjoyed reading this and will be looking forward to reading the next book to this series heres my vision of the hero and heroine

Sixteen Going on Undead

Sixteen Going on UndeadSixteen Going on Undead by Yvette Ford

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Besides all the typo mistakes I thought this was a cute story, exhausting at times but cute. I think the author spent so much time on having this poor girl run away from everything and everyone, you didn't get a chance to know all the characters personally.(yeah I like to know them) I liked the mystery of it all but wanted to know more at the same time (weird I know) I liked Lorcan his name was so cool, have to add that to the bad boy names thread..lol He was a young Vampire, 20yrs stuck at 18. I thought that was new and refreshing, reading about a 200 yr old Vamp in love with a teen creeps me out a lil.



I liked Tanesha too just wish she would have stayed put for a second and really figure things out before she took off all the time.. She did at like a typical teenager that acted her age. She wasn't at all the typical read (like all the Bella's we read about lately, you know the ones that know they are special and think beyond the regular teens)



I also liked her best friend Ronnie, once I finally got to know what he was all about (at the end) I thought he was sweet and a good friend and protector for Tanesha.



I liked this story it was short and sweet. I do wish it was a bit longer and got into a lil more detail about the what the when the why and the how's. All of sudden I was at the end they had a big show down then it was over in a snap. The romance was cute and sweet but was missing some things I can't explained it you have to read it for yourself. This book definitely needs a sequel because it was not enough for me I'm a greedy reader. ;) I♥romance ☺

Happily Even After

Happily Even AfterHappily Even After by Lena Matthews

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This was the first book I bought on my new kindle I was sooo excited... I had read a sample of this story

before I bought and thought is would be great read. The book started off really good. I liked that it was something

different to read, with them being a divorced couple who still have the hots for each other and are obviously still in

love.

In the beginning I liked it they seem to have had a steamy relationship in the past before they divorced and the kids were

adorable and well brought up by them. But then It just seemed like everything was coming out of nowhere. First off this story

fell short. About 30% through the book they had made up and started to date each other again. I was like "did I miss something." They

Claimed they couldn't get along Mainly by Creigh the heroine she was the on who wanted the divorce for reasons I must have completely

missed cause it was never really brought up. Plus the fact that she was pregos by some other man...



By 60% into the story I still didn't understand why they got a divorce in the first place. They had the hots for each other since the third

page of the book. And why oh why would she leave a man like Dean he was so perfect in every way possible he was a good husband to her

when they were married that much I did get from this book and he was a wonderful father. It would have been better if the author thought to elaborate more in as to why they broke up in the first place... Also it seems like there is so much history that was just hinted at that you wanted to know more...



The reason for the 3*'s is I just felt like this book is missing a lot and could have actually been a beautiful story if she could have taken more time with it. I wanted to read more of Lena Matthews stories, but I'm kinda nervous if the others are gonna be the same. If you think her others are better please feel free to let me know.



Heres my couple who else to play Dean other that Dean himself from Supernatural. :)

Going Too Far

Going Too FarGoing Too Far by Jennifer Echols

My rating: 4 of 5 stars






So here is what I thought of this book.. Short and Sweet



This was a sweet romantic read. It had a mixture of romance. mystery, teen angst, and some suspense. I enjoyed all the characters. The chemistry between Meg and John was so sweet. I love the the banter between them and how he was the shy one and she the one who said and did any and everything. There was one particular part int the book I loved that was so Meg.



"I leaned forward until my boobs sat on the table like a set of oversize salt and pepper shakers. The tit table."..... I just died laughing, her dry sarcasm was witty it matched her blue and purple hair. This book was a quick fun read great for weekend reading or something to take for a long ride. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books
