Review: Love, Chocolate, and Beer

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. Then Luke went and did some other stupid stuff with Noah, that almost cost him his recipes. What I hated was the fact that Luke didn't get a chance to be angry . When they got into their big fight, I wanted Dani to be the one to have to do the grovelling and do this big romantic gesture, but then something came up with her father and Luke had to be the one to come back and make her see reason, then she ends up in a coma at her big time for a big gesture. My goodness it was one disaster after a next with these two. But at the end of the day, the girl who didn't believe in fairy tale romance ended up having her own. I enjoyed the background characters especially Quinn and Xoey and their mates. Lots of laughs, angst, tears and one hell of a fairy tale ending. Violet Duke has made me a believer in true love and happy endings.

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...
