Review: In the Dark

In the Dark In the Dark by Monica Murphy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I enjoyed Gabe's story. It wasn't as interesting as Shep's because this one basically read like Shep's but this time pregnancy was involved. I liked Lucy, but her lies were stupid and she could have owned up at the end of the summer. Gabe is funny, thoughtful and he finally kicked his manwhoring, childish ways. Lucy was okay, but her insecurities got on my nerves. Tristian is an asshole and I'm contemplating if to read his story, since I don't really care about him. This book was sexier than the first, I'll give it that, but it just felt like an after thought (i.e) Eh since Shep got a book I might as well do Gabe type of feel. But yea, it's Shpe's with name changes and a different plot device to cause conflict. I have to say though, the angst in these books is minimal. Conflicts are solved just like that instead of dragging it out for half the story to the point you lose interest, which I applaud the writer for doing. This was a quick, fun read, thanks to Gabe. Now let's see who will tame Tristian. (Clearly I've made up my mind by the end of this review...LOL)

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. ...
