Twisted Up In You

Twisted up in You by Dawn Martens
Okay, I'm still trying to get my thoughts together on this!! Mostly because this book and characters were absolutely amazing. I mean if I could give it 100 stars I would!!! Five just is not enough for this. This is a fast paced story that kept me on the edge of my seat and turning pages. From the very first page I could not put it down. I mean I actually read this at work, well about 75% of it, and it took everything I had not to kill anyone who interrupted me while reading. As soon as I got home, I made it clear I was finishing this book and if anyone needed anything they better get it themselves. I have to say (and being honest) this is the first book by Dawn Martens I have read. I have heard great things about her book and have been wanting to read them so bad, but due to other reading obligations, I just haven't had the chance - but let me tell you after reading this ALL of her books have become HIGH priority!!!

31 Days of Winter

31 Days of  Winter by C.J. Fallowfied
Wow! C.J. Fallowfield doesn't disappoint. I really enjoyed this story. At times I wanted to smack the characters and at others I wanted them to be patient and give each other a chance. Ms. Fallowfield has written a book that does a push and pull, or back and forth that is hard to do successfully. However, she succeeds. And, I think this is due to her really showing the anguish, caring, and real feelings of the characters. We don't always know why they feel the way they feel, but you get a sense that they really do care. And, she draws you in and keeps you wanting to find out more. I stayed up late to finish this and immediately wanted the next book. I also have to say, her characters are very different. They are uniquely quirky within common archetypes. Can't wait to read the next one.

From The Fields

From The Fields
By Richard Paolinelli
 
This was a very insightful read. I have a love for Australian Rules football and hence found this documentary informative and enlightening. It is clear that Mr Paolinelli’s days as a Sports Writer have helped him with his research which will no doubt become a legacy to the Bulldogs and indeed the town of Turlock itself.

The Holiday Couple: A Sky Watcher Romance: Gavin's Story

The Holiday Couple: A Sky Watcher Romance: Gavin's Story

Oh, I loved this quick holiday read!! I have become a huge fan of Ella Emerson and was so excited to read this. It takes place a couple of years after Sky Watcher, and now we get to see Gavin get his own love, plus we get to see what Allison and Luke have been up to. I loved that these two characters never even knew what they could have been even with living so close to each other. They came together because of their own selfish reasons and well you will have to read to find out what happens. :) This was a great holiday read that will warm your heart.


Beautiful Beast

Beautiful Beast
by Georgia Le Carre

Holy Moly!!!! Another Eden brother has claimed me!!!!!! Georgia Le Carre writes another amazing book that just pulls you into the characters world. Ms. Le Carre takes you on a journey of suspense, drama, family, and love. I won't lie - I desperately wait for each of Georgia's books, I can't help it, I stalk and count down the days until I can have the next beauty on my kindle and as always Georgia Le Carre delivers beautifully with another story that you just can't put down. If you haven't read any of her books - you really need to start because you will not be able to stop at one!!

On Solid Ground
by K.L. Grayson

I was so excited to get this little book. I have missed Harley and Ty!! I have to say I absolutely loved this book. If you read the first book - YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!!!! For a short story, there were NO shortage of feelings and emotions and I felt them all! This book made me tear up and filled my heart with joy and love.

White Waves

White Waves
by Shannon O'Conner

This picks up right where Red Waves left us hanging and the suspense is doubled! Question is can Audrey and Chad handle what is to come. They seem to never catch a break with everything being planned and set up so that Audrey can finally move on from her past. Again, this book has it all - suspense, drama, laughs, great characters, and the writing will completely draw you in on page one. These characters are real and have truly grown from the first book. Ms. O'Conner's writing really puts you there and you can feel what the Audrey and Chad are feeling and really feel as though you are there. I really need the next book now as I can't wait to see what happens.
