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.

You don't get to choose you just fall. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

THe Daughter of The Forest
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
