Review: About a Vampire

About a Vampire About a Vampire by Lynsay Sands
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hmm, so I love Lynsay sands. I love all the Argenaus. I've waited for Justin's book for so long now and was mildly disappointed with this one. We all remember Bricker is a funny, pain in the ass rogue hunter that gave each of the guys hell. I fell in love instantly with him when he first appeared and was anxiously waiting for him to get his story. When this book finally came, I was so excited I was dizzy, but when I started getting into the story, I couldn't believe it. First off, I didn't like Holly. I had no connection with her. Not much character development with her either that would make me like her either. We already knew about Bricker, so his character flowed so easily. Next, she was married, I mean, I was hopping Bricker would get a challenge when he finally met his Life mate because we all know he was kind of a slut, but this was ridiculous. The rule with the Immortals is that they can't interfere with a marriage if their future life mate is in a mortal marriage. I was hoping that in the end James turned out to be some sleazeball, but Lynsay didn't go that route to make me feel better. Next, why were Anders, Decker and Lucian so mean to Bricker? Yes he was a pain in the ass to them in their books, but he was NICE to their lifemates , these asshole deliberately sabotaged his relationship with Holly all for a fucking joke and payback. Childish much? I was to that point where I didn't want to finish the book just for that. THEN when she's Immortal and has to train, the twins forced them to kiss which also started a whole heap of shit. Why was everyone interfering in the relationship? I mean the only one I actauly condoned was Gia. At least she was helpful. Speaking of Gia, see that ending that Lynsay gave to her? NOPE didn't like it. I felt like I was robbed of her story and this was too neatly done just to clean up the fact that the heffer Holly DID leave her husband for another man. At the end of the day it was a fun book to read, although we didn't get to enjoy the relationship developed between the two, there were still parts that had me cracking up. Will this stop me from reading the others? No, because I'm a die hard fan and I really want to get to the twins stories. I hope they at least become life mates to sisters. This wasn't my favorite of the bunch but I hope the next one is better and she never does an already married Life mate again. Marguerite only got off easy in my book because her first lifetime was an asshole.

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. ...
