The Mysteries of Laura

I'm really digging this show. Two episodes in already and I love the hilarity that is Debra Messing. I loved her from Will & Grace. If her old TV casts can make a cameo on this show I will be set for life. So when I first started hearing about this show, I figured it would be another dumb cop show that would get stale fast. Was I wrong about that. It's this fun cop show about a Detective solving crimes who also moonlights as a Mom, with her soon to be ex-husband who at the end of episode one, became her boss. She has these twins that were made from the pit of hell. They give her SO much trouble and she has to juggle between looking after them and taking down the bad guys.
   We also get Laz Alonso who plays her partner Billy. Mmmm, I missed him on TV, he's still so fine!!! Anyways, Josh Dallas (Sweet Home Alabama) plays the husband/boss, Jake,  and he still seems to have feelings for her while Laura is hell bent on getting away from him,but you can still see she still has some sort of love for him. She has this assistant name Max and I LOVE him. He's so quirky and bitchy. Luna from True Blood is also in here (forgot her real name) and they are co-workers/ frenemies/ Luna trying to out shine her at every given second but FAILS! In the beginning of the first episode Veronica Mar's Dad (I swear I only know most celebs by the characters they play instead of their real name) was her boss but he turned out to be a bad guy and was sent off to jail.
   I love how the cases are NEVER boring and Debra just pulls off the comedy like a gem.  She has the best one liners that has me laughing out loud. It has a great balance of seriousness and humor.  I mean who else has a show that a man confessed to the cops he stuck a firecracker up a squirrel's ass and blew it up because he saw it on YouTube? I think it also has a solid cast with a bunch of likable characters. This can be a keeper for NBC but knowing these networks, they tend to cancel all the good shows and keep the dumb ass reality shows. Hears to this show sticking around for a few long seasons.

Review: Billionaire Unbound ~ Chloe

Billionaire Unbound ~ Chloe by J.S. Scott My rating: 3 of 5 stars I liked this story. Glad Chloe overcame the abuse and found Gabe and I'm glad he didn't give up on her. What pissed me off is, I know it's not always easy to tell an abuse victim to just leave but still, Chloe has brothers who are special ops, senator, a mad scientist and a damn special agent, she's a billionaire. Do you mean to tell me she couldn't use ANY of those means to get rid of or away from James? The man had NO power over her, she was letting him have the upper hand. Also they video, if the woman had just told her brothers what was going on but don't show them the video like what Gabe did, all of this could have been avoided. I mean, look how easy they got rid of the video and handled him. Pls Lara (Tate's wife) was ex FBI, she could have also find means to get information on where Ellie is out of James before he killed himself too. If this was a po...

Review: The Resolution of Callie & Kayden

The Resolution of Callie & Kayden by Jessica Sorensen My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well they finally got their happy ending. These two went through so much shit before they got to this point. Some points I wasn't happy with: Callie ran into Caleb at the store and then he was arrested. I fell like not much justice was given there. I wanted Caleb to explain why he did all that crap. I wanted a better confrontation where Caleb would feel ashamed or at least more emotions, but it was handled too quickly and wishy washy. Another one was the death of Kayden's father. We as the reader didn't get much closure from that. He just immediately died, there wasn't much explanation as to how he ended up like that, no explanation from the father as to why he was the way he is, no sorry's, the mother was still a complete bitch and was with the father until the end. His death was such a cowards way out. I expected him to get haul off to jail. This b...

Review: Love, Chocolate, and Beer

Love, Chocolate, and Beer by Violet Duke My rating: 4 of 5 stars So, this book came up in my Amazon recommendations and saw it had a bunch of good ratings and decided to check it out. Violet Duke has found a new fan in me. I really enjoyed this book. This is what true love is all about. I connected with Luke and Dani from the prequel and just fell in love with them. Their bickering and interplay were so funny. The sexual tension was so strong with these two. Even I was feeling what Luke was feeling on those five pre-dates. The 17 Valentines Day gifts Luke did for Dani was so damn romantic, I was "awwing" through the whole thing. The things Luke did for Dani....ack. I love him so much. Anyways let's get to the nitty gritty. So Dani did something really stupid in the prequel that followed her throughout this story. It pissed me off because if these two would have just communicated with each other, so much of this could have been avoided. ...
