Just enough explanation for a non-military person but not too much that I was put off by it.

Her life now is full of constant pain, from starvation to sexual abuse, without any hopes of escaping...except through death. It's a route that Alice is willing to take, if only she could find the chance. But then even her desperate hope for death is marred by Ray's one last request: find a girl to replace Alice. Despite the horror of his demand, Alice sets about doing it, with only one thought on her mind: freedom. + +The power of the immigrant story, the success of the immigrant and the healing necessary from evil makes this a remarkable tale and worth the effort to read. + + + +The eroticism was underlined and bolded by the intensity of desire and depth of need the author expressed so well. This was not just a hot description of moves and and how said moves feel. The need Will felt for Jenny came through loud and clear. His lack of experience certainly conflicted with his ability to expertly arouse Jenny. We've all known the fumbling of the first time. A man with no experience cannot possibly know his way around a woman's body, cannot possibly balance interpreting her response to his touch while somehow knowing the right time to move on, the right duration, the right intensity, ect. Will's ability to do everything right was believably set up by the way the author describes his utter fascination with knowing every inch of her body by touch, taste and scent. If I say much more I will give too much away... and also have to end this review right here, ahem. +I wondered if I could handle things as well as the Vatta daughter did. + + +2787 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Gold Star Award Winner! + +All but dead, both mentally and physically, Alice feels she has no other option but to comply with Ray's request. At least, she believes, there will at last be someone else for Ray to torture. +Living Dead Girl is a horrifyingly emotional story about a 10 year old that is kidnapped and sexually abused. Her abductor tries to keep her a little girl forever. The writing is haunting, well done, and has great pacing. Thankfully, because of the topic, this is a short novel (only 3 discs). Though this was hard to read/listen to, I think it's an important story. It's so easy to look away, to accept the excuses, to ignore the red flags and the little voice in your head that something is wrong. In my opinion, we as a society need to pay more attention and not be so afraid to speak up! I truly admire Elizabeth Scott for doing such a wonderful job tackling this subject. +2507 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I bought this to replace my childhood copy I lost a few years ago. Winnie the Pooh will always hold a special place in my heart. The book is new and in excellent condition. Oddly the only thing I don't care for, I love the feel of a well loved book. I knew I was buying new, so I will get it well loved soon enough. +8065 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 From another place I read reviews that almost kept me from purchasing this book..... So glad I didn't listen! Loved this story! I have most of Maya Banks books and so far I haven't been disappointed with any of them. I highly recommend! + + +2754 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I had no idea what this book was about before I started listening. I just knew it was by Elizabeth Scott and since I've enjoyed every book by her, I'll read anything she writes. I was horrified. I was a bit shocked. I almost stopped listening. I wanted to. But I couldn't. +My only real problem with this book is that the reason for the reconciliation was too flimsy; too transparent. It seemed like something that could have been resolved with a stern lecture or two. I get why the author needed them to come together, but I just wished she could have found a more believable reason. One star deduction for that. +8057 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Kaya is a shifter and has spent most of her entire life alone. When she sees the men at a cabin in her neck of the woods, she is curious. Daily she watches these men come and go until hurt, she goes to them for comfort the only way she knows how, as a cougar. +On the Edge brings back the characters from the Devlin Group and this time is Charlotte's turn to get her happy ever after. But when you are a member of this group, nothing is ever easy and that includes love. Tony has been put down most of his life because of his background - the same one that makes him perfect in his undercover work. Charlotte has worked hard over the years to remove herself from her past and now she must face it again to save the others. Danger feeds passion, and Tony and Charlotte already had the flames rising even before the danger happened. I was never happier than when Tony and Charlotte made it out okay only to have them tear each other apart. It made me want to knock their heads together, but I was rewarded in the end with a perfect ending. Suspense stories have always been able to hold me in their grip. Ms. Stacey did one even better and wouldn't let me put the book down until the last word had been read. On the Edge is sexy, full of danger, and has two main characters I just had to back. It is also a book I will be rereading time and again, as will you, I'm sure. + +We got a taste of the Simon/Becky romance in "The Wallflower", the story that introduced the Halle Pumas, but now they are back with a vengeance to resume their story in Sweet Dreams. Becky is as sassy as ever and Simon is sweet, strong, and sexy with a healthy dosing of protectiveness and possessiveness from both the man and the Puma. Seriously, what woman wouldn't love the guy? Though I have to say I'm rather glad Becky doesn't just fall all over him because this story is a great deal funnier for it. If I had one problem with this story it was that it was too darn short and that I didn't want it to end, but if that isn't the best recommendation I can give for a story, I just don't know what is. +4441 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I just couldn't get interested in this book. It felt like the characters didn't act like themselves, the writing seemed simplistic and it just dragged. + +There is much interesting introspective debate here with the pros and cons of various explanations considered, but this philosophical approach makes the book interesting for academic study but less accessible for the general reader. +446 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I adored this book. A perfect example on how to weave fiction with history. Mr. Hick's served the town of Franklin, TN and Mrs. McGavock well. If I wasn't in love with history before this book, I'd have just fallen hard for it. +Always an uplifting read can be found in all of Ms. Johnson's works and this book is no exception.

Jane goes to Scotland where the search for Cira's gold continues. + +These short stories that you are able to download at any time are wonderful. They have taken the place of the old magazine giants of decades past, where a reader could plunk down some change and for relatively little money, have a very good reading experience. The days of those great old publications are long gone now and they left a horrible void for those of us who love reading. This void, to a certain extent, is being fulfilled now and I personally feel we are going to see many more quality reading made available to all of us. + + + +On a positive note, a little further on the plot does get considerably more interesting. Whether it's interesting enough to overcome its unfortunate beginning and the foul taste left in my mouth from this unfortunate choice of protagonist "attributes" is up to the reader to decide. +6064 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 This story was more a rough draft than anything that should have been published. First thing, the two men, we know they're ex-Seals, but we have no idea what they REALLY do for a job in this book (security?), how they came there, and what POSSIBLE interest they have in Christina since she is skittish and phobic. Off the bat, they're trying to get in Christina's pants for a life time relationship... are you kidding me? Serious? All of a sudden they're flying from an unknown location to Chicago in their personal jet with a king size bed? Kidnap her dog? Its frustrating... this book was scattered in thought, execution and information. +What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book? + + + + +The main lead..He's the ultimate Hero! A man used to being out in the wilderness and having trained with the military Special Forces as well as with the GhostWalker teams. Most of his life he had been cold and dispassionate in his dealings with people and never been able to form any emotional connection with another human being...until he met her...From the moment he saw her, I was devouring his each thought process...how much he wanted her, craved her and wanted to touch her! Seriously, throughout the book there was not a moment he wanted to separate himself from heroine...it may sound a bit extreme, but not in this case..This hero was used to being cold from the inside, not having any feelings/emotions and what he felt for heroine was completely foreign to him! I really enjoyed his transformation..he was caring, possessive and considerate and I was absolutely heartbroken each time there was a portrayal of his vulnerability when he though he was Losing the heroine... + +What I love about this book: First of all, Marillier understands that a heroine can be strong without wielding a sword and marching off to war. Her female characters are strong of heart and conviction. Jenica is strong in that she would do anything to protect her family, sometimes to a fault. She is flawed like a human being, and throughout the story she learns how to overcome these faults. Second, I love the location, descriptions, and atmosphere. The fairy-tale creatures and festivities of the Other Kingdom are imagined in a way that makes your heart ache for it to be real. The atmosphere is soft, romantic, ethereal, and somewhat mysterious. Third, I love the love stories, plain and simple. There are two love stories in Wildwood Dancing; they are tell a different kind of story, and I think Marillier did a good job of balancing the two out. One is eloquent and somber, whereas the other sweet and light-heated. The first love story is apparent from the beginning and remains rather constant throughout the book, whereas the latter is revealed toward the end. +Suetonius had first hand knowledge of many of the Caesars who followed the Claudians, and ready access to the archives of the imperial family and the Senate, given his imperial posting. +1108 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Vaugan & Hawks - great reading, never want to stop reading once I start! +The story is entrancing. The characters are believable and personable. You know people like Jake and Remi and Chay and Keaton and even Sterling. It's a super-fast, andrenaline-kicking, blood-pumping rollercoaster ride of emotions and... a sequel is in the works! +4201 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What a great way to catch up on Maggie Shayne's Twilight series. It had been several years since I had read her last book in the series. When I saw two new books, I just had to refresh the story in my mind. Instead of buying all the individual books, this was perfect and MUCH less expensive. +In this book, he not only questions the spending and saving patterns ingrained in us by the society, but also lays out a clear road-map for financial security and freedom. + +117 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 One can't help but be impressed by Frank Abagnale's resourcefulness at such a tender age. At the age of sixteen he manages to forge a pilot's license and "deadhead" his way around the country bouncing checks. He also passes himself off as an pediatrician, a college professor, and an assistant district attorney. The last is probably his most impressive exploit, as he passes the bar exam (on his third try) with only two years of high school. +Finally, Halt paints a green oak leave on Horace's shield so that the Gallians will know his identity. Most knights encountered afterward fled rather than facing the feared Knight of the Order of the Oak Leaf. Horace does complain about using the unearned title of knight, but Halt overcomes his qualms. + +574 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Somewhat of a disappointment. The articles were all there, but I missed Pepper and Salt and the list of declared dividends, currency exchange, weather. These were the small things that I would like for travel, the whole stack of paperes was waiting for me at home. This was just a stop-gap for travel abroad where the WSJ was not available. +1. With an ambitious unifying theory as Mr. Diamond espouses, there will be elements of it that are not satisfying to some critics. However, from my view point the work of this book in many aspects are groundbreaking and should inspire further research and discussion. +140 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I had forgot I had not written a review, which is strange because I have re-read this series at least 7 times over the years and have found the last to be as enjoyable as the 1st. As usual the author is very through in her character development and makes the reader care for them as she puts them in the most terrible situations - enjoy. +For the novel's first chapter, Baxter reworks and updates "Saul and Patsy Are Getting Comfortable in Michigan," which ended with an ambiguous car crash, leaving readers with no sign of whether or not the couple survived. In fact, they walk away more or less unscathed to build a home together and begin a family, gradually growing increasingly, if not perfectly, comfortable in their adopted hometown. +9636 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really am lovin this series. + +The Renegade's Woman is an erotically enchanting story. I wanted Standing Bear and Sally to be together. I wanted them to fall into bed again. The Renegade's Woman is a hot fantasy, with a good story behind it. +The book centers around a young merchant's daughter named Karigan who finds a dying messenger by the side of the road and promises to bring his message to the King, completing his mission. +7801 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I wish I could write something good about this book. Two hot college guys who think they are straight play gay chicken and get paid for doing sexy pictures together. Should be a 5 star GFY book. Yes, the sex scenes are hot, but everything else in the book is one big stereotype and filled with horrible self-loathing words. If Ms. Anderson wrote "pitcher" and "catcher" one more time to describe the top and bottom definitions in a gay relationship, I was going to scream. Plus the homophobic jock friend who used the word, "fag," was so over the top and two-dimensional, it was cartoonish. What could have been a sweet, coming of age, boys fall in love story turned into a poorly developed cliched plot fest with no redeeming qualities that I could find. I suggest renting the movie "Defying Gravity" if you want straight college boy roommates falling in love and angsting about it. +appreciation of what new residents go through. It is frightening to realize how little of these political problems of the islands +The first book in the series has all the hallmarks of typical sword and sorcery fantasy, with a classic good vs. evil conflict. But after Morgorath is defeated at the end of the second installment, THE BURNING BRIDGE, the adventure becomes more complex. Will and his companion Evanlyn are captured by Skandian raiders and become slaves in Skandia. It is only with the help of their captor Erak, who comes to admire the spirit of his young captives, that they are able to escape. +Steal. Depends who you steal from. If you're rich, you pay 30 times the amount stolen; if poor, you pay ten times the amount stolen. The laws seemed to be fairly balanced in this way, the penalty in money or goods higher for the rich person than for a poor person. +5338 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another wonderful installment in the PsyCop series! This time Victor discovers his co-workers, friends and even his boyfriend Jacob are keeping secrets from him. Why cant Victor be Googled? Why is there no record of the infamous Camp Hell or any of its former residents online? In this day and age, thats a scary thing. The worst part is that everyone seems to know the answers except Victor. +3039 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It could show some jobs and apt's for rent and some of the classifieds that would make it better so for people that are living others places and wanting to move there. +The Bad: + +It is a fast paced Sci/Fi novel with both strong male & female Alpha characters with a lot of fights and battles. Wulf was the ultimate Alpha male wanting to do nothing but protect his mate but having to come to term with the fact that with her experience & abilities, Melina was not going to stay on the sidelines. While Melina is a kick-ass heroine and capable of taking down the bad guys she's not invincible and does have to deal with injuries. Too many times in a novel, the stong Alpha female is shown overcoming the bad guys with only a few bruises to show for it. In both novels that I have read so far by Monette Michaels, the Alpha females while able to deal with the bad guys are not invincible and are therefore more credible. + +4720 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What can I say ladies. Find yourself a peaceful spot and enjoy. Let's just say my husband benefited from this book! +1195 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I originally read these books in paperback, and was happy to find them released for Kindle. While, yes, a little unrealistic with Princes and Sheiks falling in love with and marrying American women, they are light, fun romantic reads when you just want to get lost in a book for a while. +Overall, I agree with the author. There is no better plan for personal finances. However, that doesn't mean there aren't other plans that are equally as good. I do believe that if you follow his steps, you will eventually be debt free and living a healthy financial life. +6188 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 The kindle version didn't pull up what I buy USA for so is easier to buy the paper +All in all I look forward to reading all of R. Austin Freeman's books, even though he does seem to go on on with some of his discussions, which sometimes aren't needed for the story, and is somewhat recondite with his writings - I have used my Kindle's dictionary feature quite extensively. +Drowning in poverty and fuk-laden travails [the word fuk will be described below], the De Leon family watches the youngest, the simplest, the nicest of the clan also become a victim to fuk's character-scarring torture. Oscar, beholden to all that is good, smiles even though the curse is aimed directly at he and his spirit. And, as the fuk obliterates, his sister opines," . . Ten Million Trujillos is all we are." + +874 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Another wonderful story of the sisterhood and getting revenge. Not quite the detail of some of Michael's of sisterhood books, but a fast read and more pleasure reading about Nikki's revenge. +5260 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Really gets you into the picture and use the thoughts behind the book. Why do we need to be in debt? Who says we have to? If we pay our credit cards off, who will it hurt? The credit departments that receive 18 to some 24% added to those balances in interest. I think I would like that money to me in my pocket. Do we want to be the Jones? They probably are deeper in debt than we are. Maybe they will want to be like us in a few years. +1727 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely love Maggie Shayne's books. I love how the stories stand alone but also tie together to reveal a wider world. This collection does not disappoint. Through the volume, the reader gets to follow the lives of multiple vampire couples as they try to secure their place in their world, find true love and stay out of the clutches of an evil government agency that is hell bent on destroying them. Great binge reading material! +A new complication enters the works almost two decades later -- Soames' daughter Fleur is immediately attracted to Irene's son Jon. The two start an innocent romance, unaware of their parents' past together, but still overshadowed by the loathing and shame Soames and Irene have for each other. An aristocratic suitor for Fleur, mysterious letters and a secret love affair all come to the surface, as Fleur and Jon discover that love isn't always enough to overcome the bitterness of the past... +Many readers know how the book ends before the end of the first chapter, yet we are drawn into it; not as watching a train wreak, but as watching the lives of the characters play out; like watching life, period. so , another question is life only saddness and pain? answered by the descriptions of the food, the beauty of the land, the rain, and the love of those that lived within the book. + + +4304 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love Pooh. What can I say. +6914 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My only question on this book one of the Longmire series is to me....why ? why did I wait so long to start it. One reason could be...around this area of Florida, Johnson's books are a little hard to find, new or used. That said THE COLD FISH is book one of this excellent series. We meet Sheriff Longmire in his beloved Wyoming. With this first murder case in a long while. The problems with Indians and whites in the west, Wyoming's open space, and the cast of the county's colorful characters make for a great read.

That is except for the specific details of a few lawsuits brought against Zuckerberg for theft of ideas - which unfortunately for us curious readers, were settled with confidentiality agreements meaning we'll likely never know the exact details of what went down behind closed doors. +Beautiful, Genia! Simply beautiful! +In Turin, where she joins Axel, Cass sees religious symbolism in common events, finding an ordinary breakfast a form of communion. Artworks, especially crucifixion scenes by artists from the various settings in which the novel takes place (Cranach, Bosch, Memling, and Van Eyck in the Low Countries; and Tintoretto, Mantegna, and Bellini in Italy) further develop the symbolism. Always present in the background, of course, is the Shroud of Turin, which may be the real burial cloth of Jesus--or may not be. Parallels and contrasts between Vander and Jesus abound. +Reviewed by: Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius" +With a brief intro in to his life before and during training he quickly moved to his insertion in to the 82nd PIR as a replacement officer. So he wasn't there from the beginning, but he was certainly close enough. He fought in the hills of Italy in what seem like guerilla type warfare. Although he experienced combat it wasn't until Anzio that he was baptized by fire and blooded his first German. From this brutal battle he was sent back to England to rest and recuperate and ultimately missed D-Day. His next major action was Operation Market Garden where he had to fight across the Waal River, which, from his description, was one of the more bloody engagements, and not well planned, of not only Operation Market Garden but also of WWII. And yet he survived when the majority of the men around him were dying. Battle of the Bulge came next where he battled German SS soldiers and single handedly, with H company, took out a tank and invaded and captured a town before the Germans could regroup. Megellas certainly fought a lot and became an efficient killing machine. + +5941 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was short story introducing us to a new set of characters; Anna a werewolf brutalized by her pack, and Charles, the enforcer who finds himself captivated by her. No matter how much she dislikes Alphas, she's a fighter, and an Omega who doesn't have to bow to an Alpha's law.

Very good character development and romance. I will look for more stories from this author to read in the near future. +1948 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This whole series is great. Recommend for anyone over the age of 8 or 10, depending on how mature the reader, as some of them can get quite intense - parents beware if your child is reading well beyond their age, some of these books have addiction to drugs, death, beatings, all sorts of stuff. I suggest you read first, to make sure your child is up to it. Any one over the age of 12 will love them. (I'm 26) + + +And let's face it, if you read this genre, you know it's easy to find blindingly sexy men, usually damaged in some vital way, but where else outside of the Granite Lake Wolves will you find such well-balanced, sensitive, sexy men.

There is one thing I love more than a free book and it's a free book that's good. What I really liked about this book is the story started right away, no unnecessary intro and no unnecessary words. Even though it dived right into the story, you still understood what's taking place. Through out the book we got to know Jess and Llewelyn and it was good reading their chemistry as the story plays out. It wasn't just the sexual things they did but it was the book as a whole that was pleasing to read. We got to meet the brothers, Allard and Graham whose stories will be coming out next as this is book 1. The brothers surely had me entertain as well in the book. They brought good chemistry to the story. Of course the ending of the book was really interesting and leaves room for me wanting more. The end of the book leaves a sneak peek for what the next book is about. +8706 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoy Elizabeth Lennox books. I. Like that they are happy stories with some great sex scenes,but not to much.

I borrowed the first book from my library and around 1am when I finished it I just went and bought the bundle on kindle. I loved it that much! +1. Like so many indie books, the lack of effective editing made it nearly unreadable. I'm not saying responsibility doesn't lie with the author, but when you have an untried writer, a good editor makes all the difference. Thorpe had many errors in tense, which became worse further into the book. A sentence that made it past the copy editor: "Viola shifted her grip on the knife's hilt, fights fought a wave of nausea..." makes it obvious the author struggled with tense. + + +2458 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Each and every one of these stories keeps you on the edge of your seat! I like series that intertwine all of the characters from the previous books so there is continuity and history to draw from. I love the strong female characters and how love conquers in the end. Lots of sizzle if you are into that sort of thing. +When her sister tries to share her newfound salvation with Allie, she stubbornly refuses to hear. She can handle her life all by herself. She'll find a way to do it on her own - not even Eric needs to help. +Nothing to knock your socks off, just lots of wisdom about the "class struggle" and the communist plans for an autocratic government. Excellent discussion of workers and how they've been treated throughout the industrial revolution. +8935 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A definite romance book with quite a bit of very long and detailed loving scenes. It started out with one and a couple more after that, but the book has more than that kind of action going on, which was good since I thought I accidentally got an erotica during the first scene. +61 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book caught me by surprise. I could never imagine how a 16 year old could be such an egotistical and arrogant con man. How do you get a doctor's license, law degree, pilot's license, etc., without even graduating high school? Frank did this and even more surprising cons. Great book! I was rooting for him to get away with every caper. +7383 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book had me laughing, crying, and rooting for the two main characters in the end. I hated the way Rebecca's family treated her, especially her father. Talk about being a cold and callus SOB, that describes him in spades. What's really disturbing, is that I know a few parents just like him. How anyone could treat their child like that is beyond me. It's true that Rebecca had done some really off the wall things in the past, but if someone tells you that you're no good, or that you're a total screw up....you tend to start believing it. Besides...A child who acts out is usually only trying to get attention the only way they know how, and it's true in this case too. + +In their head...

These books contain more detail than the chapters in the Bible. The Apocrypha describes the affairs and accounts of man and his relation with God, There have been criticism's as to why the Apocrypha are not included in the Bible. A reading of any book in Apocrypha answers this question. These books contain tons of personal and spiritual accounts of the people of those ancient ages and I wondered how much was embellishment.

Told through the voices of those who know him best, it is a wonderfully fleshed-out account of a young man's life viewed from the many different angles and points that give us all our form, and never is it clearer than when driving home the point that no one of us is an island, and that no matter how we fight it, we are to some extent - more than most of us would probably like - products of our heritage, our upbringing, and the actions and words of those who love us - and, just as significantly or perhaps even more so, those who don't. + +Page 72-Medical Saving Account health-insurance policy +Lisa adores Brett, more so than any other man in a very long time.

Not very current. +4676 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was not only steamy, but it made me laugh, too. I really enjoyed the characters and the way the girls enjoyed "watching the show". This is a great read if you want some light entertainment and some hot and sexy scenes! + * Jesus Heralds His Gospel +The book begins on an almost violent note when Anna Rostoff and her sister realize that Nikos Stavrakis, Anna's ex-lover and father of her baby has come all the way to Russia and has taken possession of her infant son. +I was struck by his belief that swapping the two classes would result in a permanent fix to the problem. History has born out that empowering the oppressed class just turns them eventually into oppressors. Communists eventually become an elite class and there still becomes a less privileged class. The incentive to excel becomes stifled and overall prosperity suffers. +The Dark Farewell is a rather tasty little mystery set in the mid-1920s. Its prohibition, and not a good time to be a gay man in a small town. You have to be discreet, which is one of the many things that Julian is not. The author has a penchant for setting up his main characters so that at least one of them has a strong dislike for the other, and in this story it serves him quite well. Flynn takes an instant dislike to Julian, and not without good reason. Watching the two men getting to know one another enough for love to blossom seems a lot more realistic than the over-used made for each other romance. +5210 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Bought it for a friend who is struggling financially. I knew it was great because I'd already read it. +7682 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Classmate Murders + + + +Thursday for pot roast. + + +2-THE MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES +The plot -- such as it is -- revolves around the suicide of one of Veronica's brothers, which sends her on a trip to Brighton to bring the body back to Ireland for the funeral (she is gathering the body to bring it back to a gathering of people -- clever). About halfway into the book the "secret" of this brother's lifelong depression is revealed, and it's both jaw-droppingly cliched and wholly simplistic and reductionist. My one hope was that this "revelation" would be the spark that lit a fire under the second half of the book -- but no, it simply plods forward at the same stultifying pace. Ultimately the book has nothing to offer: it has no telling insights into memory or regret, it rehashes the same tired cliches about growing up poor and Irish, its use of the unreliable narrator is rudimentary at best, and its not even notably bleak and depressing. I guess you could make the argument that many of these flaws are actually commentary on the flawed nature of humans, but this doesn't make it worth spending your own precious time on. +I really found so much hilarious Pelham Winwood, Horatias brother, and his friend Roland Pommeroy, often mentioned in the book as Pel and Pom. They are very funny and all the scenes with them are uproarious. My favourite was the duel scene with Crosby Drelincourt, cousin and presumptive heir of Lord Rule. Both Pel and Pom are great characters and give to the story amusement and light heartedness. I enjoyed them a lot. Besides, Pel is quite dashing! +As Oscar's lonely tale unfolds, readers are taken back two generations to when his family lived in the Dominican Republic under the violent dictator Trujillo. Oscar's grandfather, Abelard, spends the last years of his life as a broken and literally tortured man in prison for not turning over his daughter to Trujillo. Abelard's third daughter, Belicia, is born after his imprisonment and soon sold into virtual slavery. She is eventually tracked down by her father's cousin, a wise widow called La Inca. La Inca finds Belicia defiant after years of abuse, and she soon grows into a gorgeous young woman. The two do their best under the oppressive government and are even prospering until Belicia falls in love with a powerful gangster and gets pregnant. Belicia's dreams of love are shattered, and so is her body, as the gangster's goons beat her to the edge of death and leave her in a cane field. Angry and mourning the loss of her unborn baby, Belicia leaves the Dominican Republic, taking the fuk with her. +This story goes back and forth between the present time and the night five years ago that things went so horribly wrong for the two men. The only negative to this story is the going back and forth is rather confusing. The story itself is very good and Ms. Cooper really made me feel for both Hayden and Josh. Hayden cannot remember everything that happened five years ago and is very bitter since he thinks Josh betrayed him by testifying in Court that Hayden was driving drunk and killed someone, leading to Hayden spending time in jail. I could also feel Josh's frustration in trying to get Hayden to remember what happened and all that he endured five years ago. Josh is also hurt by the anger he feels coming from Hayden, when he knows the truth that they are mated. + +2702 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thoroughly enjoyed this alternate story written by Kara Louise.

After a daring last-minute rescue, our heros must join forces with the Skandians if they ever hope to return home. + + +Walt Longmire is the longtime sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming, with a territory that extends to the Buckhorn Mountains and includes Native American reservation land. Since the death of his wife, Martha, he's a bit like a broken clock spring, leaving much of his work to his deputy sheriff and subordinates. His closest friend is Henry Standing Bear, who runs the Red Pony, a local "watering hole." As the book opens, a young man who, with three friends, sexually assaulted a learning-disabled Cheyenne girl several years earlier, is found murdered. Walt would prefer his last years as sheriff be as quiet as possible, but the mystery just refuses to let go. It soon becomes obvious that someone is gunning for the remaining three young men. +I will say that I was very impressed and even shed a tear or two learning more about Nina and why she acts the way she does. The book has some excellent life lessons that we all could take something away from. That, and it is funnier than hell. If you like the writing styles of MaryJanice Davidson or Katie MacAlister, then you will LOVE Dakota Cassidy. She's in a class all her own! + +Have my reviews sent to your Kindle daily - Just search Amazon for "Red Adept's Kindle Book Review Blog". +3277 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A great first book for Faye Kellerman. It delivers all that one could want in a thriller and more. When a murder happens in a Jewish community, the Detective meets an intriguing lady and starts to examine his own past, present and possible future. Along the way, the reader is privy to some insight into the Jewish faith and philosophy. I found this book glued to my hand until the end. +7661 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I liked the story line because it was different but there wasn't much detail regarding the characters. I would have liked to see the characters expanded more but for a short story it was nice. I gave it 4 stars because I think more could have been added regarding the main characters and since it was about weres that you don't usually read about, I think that would have been more satisfying. +7672 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Interesting story.

I want to be like every one of them 'when I grow up'... they are independent, strong and loved. +I have a hardbook from Benton and I know the difference, this book IS NOT what it portrays itself as. +The world-building is unique and imaginative. The characters are even more so-- fully fleshed out, with individual personalities and idiosyncrasies, as well as plenty of humor thrown in. +The continued character development is great. Again, you see more of a human side of Halt as he himself realizes just how much Will meant to him. It is amazing how far Horace has come, from the brat he was at the beginning of the first book to the highly mature, loyal, and dedicated Knight's apprentice. Jarl (captain) Erak, the one who captured will and Evanlyn, proves that he is more than just some savage viking knock-off, but a man of honor. + +If you are unfamiliar with Pride and Prejudice and don't understand what is written above here is the scenario: +While our own decision to join a church was nowhere near the radical conversion Sara Miles experienced, I can relate to her needing to fulfill some latent part of her life that was void of meaning. My own life rarely parallels Miles' life, but I can also relate to her desire to keep her mission work simple and open to all. I have a problem with people who want to treat religion (and subsequently their church life) as if it is an exclusive "members only" club that does not have time for any deviation from established norms. Jesus did not teach us to be exclusive but rather inclusive, as demonstrated by his association with tax collectors and harlots. +Contents of Kindle edition: the essay discussed above, plus eight short stories: Spanish Blood, I'll Be Waiting, The King in Yellow, Pearls Are a Nuisance, Pickup on Noon Street, Smart-Aleck Kill, Guns at Cyrano's, and Nevada Gas. +8676 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Was a good read + +Turn It On is a dazzling sensual love story with just the right touch of danger.

Maxine soothes him. She gives him exactly what he needs at exactly the right time. +8514 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really like this book. Ms. Marinelli has a good ability to grasp her readers with just enough detail, not too much. This novel is a good glimpse of hope and second chances with one's spouse. But, I have a couple of critiques. +He will have the help of a good friend, and he and Horace make a great team. As they make their way to Skandia, Evanline is making sure she and Will survive the Winter, and is making her own plans for their rescue. +Have you ever noticed that the more you try not to think, the more elaborate your thinking episodes get? +Muhammad lies in the grave awaiting Jesus to come in triumph, not the other way around. "Why is that?" is the question that should be asked and is answered in the book: Jesus and Muhammad. +5965 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A great story!

LOVED IT. +One thing I admire most of all: this story was clearly a novella-sized idea, and the author did not try to pad it out into a 300-page novel, as so many authors do, thereby producing a bloated whale. He let it run the length it should be, and the result is a very nice, tight, ingenious story. + +The secondary characters of Ben, David and Wesley were brilliant. While everyone in the book was a so-called geek, they were completely comfortable in their skins and made no apologies for who and what they were. Utterly relatable and charming. I also liked the secondary romance in the book between Ben and Wesley. Talk about being stubborn but in the end, Ms. Pape did a great job with them and it didn't distract from Eric and Lori's romance. + + +2275 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Religion Explained: The human instincts that fashion gods, spirits and ancestors by Pascal Boyer, Heinemann, 2001; Vintage (Random House) 2002, 448 ff. + +4023 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 There is not a valid reason in the world for there not to be a good usable kindle version of the KJV Bible!

There are plenty of willing and capable hands to have this already available so please someone put a name on the trouble here!? What is it? Who is it that prevents this? Boycott Kindle UNTIL there is a good usuable FREE KJV Bible available, easy to find, ready for anyone to HAVE. + +There's a lot of to-do in this book about some sort of curse placed on Oscar's family by the Dominican Republic's dictator. This results in a slight feel of "magical realism," especially in a mongoose-like creature and a faceless man who both haunt some of the characters. It added an interesting angle to the story, and made things slightly more bearable. + +Two favorites that I have "discovered" in this complete works are The Death of Jean, and What is Man? The Death of Jean is a stunningly poignant reflection on the sudden and unexpected death of his adult daughter. It was written from the moment of the discovery of her death and for the next two days. The pain is so tangible, and the observations of life are so astute. Just a marvelous read. What is Man? is a philosophical essay in which we read a conversation between the Young Man and the Old Man as they discuss topics such as free will and destiny. +8067 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I thought it was going to be better the ending was better then the beginning. I did not feel any chemistry between the characters. It described what the men thought but it did not describe what she thought of the men as far as physical description or attraction which is why the chemistry was not there.

I love the Character of Hunt Jamison; he was brutal, brazen, and honest to fault. He spoke what was on mind and found myself smiling and liking it. I felt bad for him at times because like Hunt I have a scar on my face from a car accident and I was embarrassed by it and sometime I'm still am, so I related to the character so much. I loved Lila character as well she tried her best not to fall for him while trying to keep her dignity. I like that the "Write" didn't make them fall in love so quick and like I said the honesty of Hunter and plain-spokenness is so needed in others writers' characters. I love the book and it was worth it. I read it in one night. +1628 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Hawke, without a soul, goes against a childhood friend who was also in the same regiment as Hawke. Good story. +Currently, I am reading the science of being great. It is a very simple straightforward book that anyone can follow. +I have often wondered a book generates a buzz prior to its release. In this case, the attention is well deserved. I'd read the follow up novel, A Touch of Scandal, today if someone were to put it in my greedy little hands. +The first part of the story, and frankly my favorite part of the novel, takes place in Italy, where the pilgrims are trying to get to Avenrus, a gateway to the underworld according to Virgil in the Aeneid. The problem is that Marco has no intention of joining them, and this provides the conflict for the first half of the story. The pilgrims' travels through Italy take them to Rome and Padua, the home of Petrarch, the most famous poet of the time, who possesses an artifact the pilgrims will need if they're to survive a journey through Hell. I found the scenes set in medieval Italy to be well-crafted, and they anchored what otherwise could have been a purely fantasy tale to a real and important period of history. +I could have been Russell's twin brother. By coinky dink we both have the same first name--ROGER meaning famous spearman, and I was infamaous aboard the USS Lexington CVA 16, and the USS Constellation CVA 64 during two Westpac cruises. Every one on the flight decks knew me as "Dangerman" +The Flaws: The major flaw in this book is that maybe it focuses too much on the war. What makes this series so stellar is the personal relationships between the characters, which are pushed to the side a great deal in this story. There is still a lot of talking, but it is almost completely related to the major conflict. Even at the beginning with the heartfelt reunion, the next passage moves on to the Temujai. This is not a deal-breaker but for readers who are looking for a deeper exploration into the ties that bind Horace, Evanlyn, Will, and Halt, they will be disappointed. +This was my first foray into Patricia Briggs's werewolf society and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Fortunately, though I assume this takes place in the same society as in her two most recent werewolf books, I did not need to read them first. I had no problem following along with the rules of the werewolves and unfolding events. There are also some very interesting twists thrown into the story that explain just what did happen to the missing werewolves in the pack and why there are no females besides Anna and the pack leader's mate. + + recent number called. He was only mildly insulted. He did, after all, have her +When I got it I was surprised that the book was seemingly so short- however I was unable to put this book down. I was equally horrified and yet left wanting to know what was going to happen next. I can only give this book four stars however, because I was disappointed in the way it ended. It was far too abrupt and left this reader wanting to know more about what happened after the end of the book. I don't want to go too much into detail and ruin the story- but it was far too abrupt. + + +I really look forward to the next one, as soon as I can afford it.

Two thumbs up!!!! Thanks, AmarilloTurtle +I too have lost a child and there is nothing to prepare you for the inexpressible, unfathomable and soul destroying grief, and you DO look for ANYTHING to take away the pain. You do also become quite selfish in your grief and feel at times that no one could possibly suffer as you are and it is the best medicine to hear other peoples tales of loss and the manner in which they coped. To me the knitting circle women were very real and the story of the loss of a child spot on. Some of the reviews were quite caustic which surprised me with such a good book but perhaps one has to experience this horror to understand. +Indy +1124 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Although the title of the book may make you think this is a paranormal romance, it is not. There are three "fates" who serve to match the main characters and make them fall in love (they seem to be serving the needs of the heroine, but this is never explained) and also intervene at a critical point to ensure the HEA. These are the only paranormal elements and they really struck me as lazy storytelling - they just make it so the author doesn't have to explain why a confirmed bachelor would suddenly marry a woman he's never met before (and one who is the opposite of his physical type) and ensure that the heroine is rescued. +5814 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This my second time to read this book. It has been many years since I first read this. I was very impressed with Little Fuzzies & I haven't gotten through all of it yet. Most sci-fi people will like at least some & it will be worth it. + +However if I were ever to talk to the writer of "Living Dead Girl," I would tell her that if you create a disturbing story like this, if you take your readers on such an emotional roller-coaster, you'd better come up with a better ending than the one we were offered. If there is no hope or inspiration, such a tale becomes simply a horror story with nothing to learn, an exercise at psychological manipulation if you will. +The characters in each of these tales were developed to the extent necessary for the reader's enjoyment. There weren't any actual character study types as these were mainly plot and story driven works. +I am not a fan of short stories (I kind of get attached to the main characters in a novel and hate to part with them too quckly) and definitely not a fan of horrors (my imagination being too vivd, obviously:)), but nonetheless I found all the stories in "65 Proof" at least intriguing, and most of them really amusing. I loved the twists and the humour, although I probably sometimes missed on the cultural/local puns - as I am not a native-speaker of English, which has not in the least taken any joy and fun from the reading:D +Zoltack's writing is creative and full of adventure. There's never a dull moment in Aislinn's life. The dialogue is authentic to the time and the plot moves at a brisk pace. +The author also suggest that all humans enjoy telling and retelling a good story. As with a good joke, the best are more easily remembered and therefore more likely to be transmitted to others. Since no story is ever passed on exactly as it was received, the tale undergoes an "evolution of the fittest" of sorts, creating very long lasting and resilient tales. Details that are non-events fall out, while details that are surprising or threatening or instructive are perpetuated. Furthermore, the human as social animal naturally looks upon those events and activities having to do with self and others as the most important focus. The gods or ancestors, omniscient though they may be, are therefore more concerned with whether one is stealing from ones neighbor or seducing someone else's spouse than they are with whether there are 22 teeth in ones comb or 21, or wether a bug just walked across the table. Professor Boyer indicates that most religious people who believe in gods who are totally aware of all events tend to pay little attention to these all powerful beings and more attention to those spirits, etc. who have more of an immediate impact on their own lives. +1636 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 a good western + +This was nothing special or original, but it was a decent enough read. Karigan was a likable and easy to root for although more then a little headstrong at times. I found the story engaging enough to keep my interest.

The idea seemed absurd to her since she didn't even know how to knit, but she decided to go, unsure of what to do next once she was there. Welcomed by Alice, Harriet, Scarlett, Lulu, Beth and Ellen, she quickly found a spot for herself trying to live her day one moment and one knot at a time. The therapeutic qualities of focusing on knitting those tiny little knots relived her mind and heard for her devastating loss. Instead of slowly losing herself in the inky depths of the black hole her heart felt she found purpose in knitting and talking to the women. Each one as it turned out had her own dramatic tale, reminding Mary that people are more similar than different. As she cracked her hard shell exterior to these women their tales of sorrow made her heart come to life, she felt the need to be there for them even if her own life was slowly unraveling, her work being difficult to do, her hair and clothes no longer important, her husband coming home later and later... + +Thanks Kelsey!

The story does deal slightly with the controversy of euthanasia, but it does not try to force either side on the reader at all; it states each side's views diplomatically and shouldn't offend the reader's beliefs. Also included are just a few typos, but they are minute and no problem at all. Lastly, there was no attempt to hide product or company names in the book, and often real companies or people would be included to give the story realism. It was slightly awkward at times but, like the typos, it didn't detract from the book much at all. + +1) it is incomplete in food listings. I had to buy another index and a GI index to get better information on certain foods. +5121 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 She left Chicago to find her friend and found a home and love. They fought off the invaders and the family as safe. +In any case - good read! +3573 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this book. After I read this book, I bought her other books. Deeply moving story of love, redemption and mercy. Especially moving story for anyone who has had or loves someone with an addiction. +7786 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Enjoyable, low key mystery. Plenty of murders but not too much violence (in the way they are handled). 60 year old, unemployed man, is caught up in The Case of the Murdered Cheer Leaders. Along the way he comes into the orbit of one fellow high school student, from many years ago, who was still in the mood for love. He, himself, has also been warned that his efforts to help the remaining former students, will bring on him the same fate as was meted out to his female classmates. A warm, congenial book despite the grim subject matter, l found it quite pleasant. The hero is a good companion for the time it takes to read the story, so, too, is his security guard buddy, and, even, most of the police on the case. The author writes well, the plot, though creaky is serviceable and the more relevant characters nicely sketched. I will happily now move on to other books by Moats. + + +All of these characters pop in and out of Saul and Patsy's life, but the one thing that remains constant is its setting. SAUL AND PATSY is a Midwestern pastoral: Baxter evokes a Michigan whose flatness holds a "sensual loneliness" and whose cities are losing their personalities through the ups and downs of the industries that created them. Like Terre Haute, Duluth, Flint, Grand Forks, or dozens of other similar --- and actual --- municipalities, Five Oaks is one of those "cities you had heard of but couldn't quite picture, cities that called nothing in particular to mind except for an eagerness to be larger and more prosperous than they were, and an all-consuming late-stage boosterism that was mostly insecurity and worry masked by bluster." Even as Saul and Patsy get comfortable in Michigan, Michigan is becoming an increasingly uncomfortable place to live. + + +Great read and highly recommended for all ages. + +I'm not sure why the other reviewer was caught up on the cover but most people recognize covers as stock images...they aren't necessarily reflective of the books characters. +Cut back on expenses. I now pay mostly with cash, not debit or credit card because it shows me clearly how much money I am spending out of my self-imposed weekly allowance. I do return items at the cashiers, not because I can not afford them, but because they exceed my weekly budget for food. It is not embarrassing because in the end I know that I will be better off financially. +A Spanking for Valentine is sugar and spice and everything...naughty. I have a new favorite book of Evangeline Anderson's and trust me when I say A Spanking for Valentine has a lot of competition. What sends this book over the top for me is the mix of tender and tart. There's something incredibly sweet about both Valentine and Shane. Their love for one another comes right off the page from the start, even if Shane doesn't recognize the depth of his feelings for her at first. Ms. Anderson definitely hit my "dreamy sigh" button more than a few times in A Spanking for Valentine, even at moments I wouldn't have expected it. +6109 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 little scarey , couldn't put the book down would recommend it to readers keep you on your toes love it +I'm probably being too hard on this book. It's like waking up to a snowy cold morning, after flying in from the Caribean, reading this book after the sunny and funny 'Collision Course'. Chasing Smoke is wintry, humourless, angsty and angry, and some people will love that. It's not that it's a bad book at all. I'm talking purely about my emotional response, which is an individual thing. Mitchell nonetheless delivers a story with real meat on its bones, and real men, even if they're not particularly winning. Not a reread for me, but far from poor value. +Greg gets treated to the full crazy of falling into a family of vampires. Lissianna's family is insanely protective of her, which is a little funny seeing as he's tied up for the first part of this book. As he gets to know her and those around her, he sees how much she's respected and loved. Which, naturally, leads to THINGS HAPPENING. Because things happen when you've been abducted by vampires and find the woman you're destined to be with. +4407 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 When isn't Darcy sexy honestly? But Ms. Reynolds always manages to make him downright irresistible and having us curse our luck that he really doesn't exist! If you're not into the whole idea of our beloved couple "anticipating their vows," this story (and most of Reynolds' stories) isn't for you. I personally love them as much as the PG stories so write on! +Just Maggie's luck, she would decide to come home the night of the choosing of the wolves to participate in the Artic Wolf Games. Although she doesn't want to she has to go to the special supper for the announcing of the team. Erik is chosen at the leader, and the rest of the teammates are TJ, Jared, and lordy to her bad luck Maggie. Will Maggie's inability to shift and her fear of wolves cause the pack to lose the games, or will TJ's major clumsiness be a factor against them?? + + +1359 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 use this book + +Emi is an empath and a top flight healer. She's looking to really start her life. Just out of a bad relationship and with new degrees to use, she applies for the medic/empath/lover position with the crewmen described above. This is a 5 yr position, so everyone involved must be open, & open-minded, to loving while aboard the Tamora Bight. +When we meet Vander, he is in a great dilemma. He recently received a letter from a young woman in Europe who discovered a grim secret in Vander's past, a secret that threatens to expose him and bring disgrace to his vaunted career. Vander feels he must meet this danger head on, so he goes to Turin, Italy, home of the sacred Shroud of Turin, to meet Cass Cleave. Vander is determined to savage this young rube in his characteristic way until he realizes that he is falling in love with the young Irish girl. In a deeply affecting sequence of events, Vander falls ill and relates the story of how he came to be who he is to Cass. Banville concludes "Shroud" with one surprise after another, keeping the reader constantly on his or her toes right to the very end. +After convincing the store owner where the incident took place in front of not to press charges after using some creative storytelling, she goes to the hospital and makes a call to the nurse to tell the cop guarding the door that the charges have been dropped and for him to come back to the station. When the cop leaves she goes into Rosaleen's room and gets her dressed and they slip out of the hospital. They begin their trek toward Tiburon, South Carolina because Lily had seen it written on the back of a picture of a black Madonna among her mother's few possessions and she figures to go there and find someone who knows her mother and learn what she can about her. Rosaleen isn't too happy about this once she finds out, but she doesn't have much choice about it now. + + +Poison Study starts off with our heroine, Yelena, being brought out of her cell in the dungeon to stand before the #2 man of the country. He gives her a choice. She can face the executioner for her crime of killing the son of a noble, or she can face the possibility of a slow and agonizing death at some future date, and become the official taster of the Commander (who runs the country.) +4451 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed this book and I hope I see more books soon on the story line on Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. + +How will Jack, and Earth, respond? But that's not at the heart of the story. Love and growth are. +6857 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Aislinn is a little girl with big dreams. After the death of her older brother, she decides to follow in his footsteps and become a lady knight. Her quest for knighthood brings many challenges and the temptation of forbidden love. Aislinn learns that being a knight means putting the Kingdom in front of personal concerns and helping those that cannot help themselves. In a journey is fraught with danger and filled with adventure, Aislinn is forced to grow up fast. She must stay strong and develop the skills necessary to realize her lifelong dream. +But then that lightness at the end-- I don't know. I still need to think about this one a while longer. +To be honest: This a good way to teach kids about drug addiction. + + + +I highly recommend giving this book to college students as well as others farther along in their career paths. What they don't know can hurt them -- and following the advice of this book can be a shield from some of that hurt. +6949 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Again, like Longmire!! +6634 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I liked the story. I liked the idea. I think the errors were a little distracting but I admit its 10 times better then I could have done. That said, I wish the ending wasn't so abrupt and without little more information on the world being reviled as the fog went away and more information on the fog itself. Good story overall. I think worth a read. I enjoyed it. +682 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love the Argeneau series. They're quick reads but never fail to hold your attention. I never miss one and this one is great! + +In a Reckless Moment is a charming story of opposites attracting. Ross and Cassandra burn up the pages as their explosive chemistry is the foundation for building a marriage from convenience to a forever love. Cassandra is a woman many will appreciate for her independence, her common sense and her genuine love for Ross and her family. She is warm and witty, charming and beautiful. With not a vain bone in her body, she endeared herself to me even further. Ross, on the other hand, is a charming and handsome rogue; he is jaded and spoiled until Cassandra brings him down a few pegs. He is clueless about love and it is with baited breath that this reader watched as he fell further under Cassandra's spell each day. With the underlying mystery of Ross's past to keep this reader guessing, I was intrigued by the storyline, both the journey to falling in love and the mystery of threats to the couple's safety. I thoroughly enjoyed Emma Wildes' In a Reckless Moment and I intend to purchase all of the previous titles. + + + +6718 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved the follow-up with Zane and Nola. Quick and entertaining read. Showalter hits it again, as always. Love the Atlantis Series. +7221 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I got this because it sounded good, and how can you pass up a Kindle freebie. Besides a good romance is hard to pass up. + +The man is smoking hot and has a habit of walking around his apartment barely clothed, sometimes not clothed at all (and aren't those happy nights!), with his lights on and his shades up. Hey, a girl's gotta grab whatever salacious fun she can, right? It's harmless and he's the man of her dreams - literally. Then she goes out to get some more booze for the girl's night and Mr. Tool confronts her about her and her friends' weekly activities. +2581 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Delightful children's story about Christopher Robin and his friends, Pooh, Tigger, Owl, Eeyore, Piglet, Rabbit, and their adventures.

Justin Garrett has a few wishes of his own and they all involve Amy. +2253 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is a foundational book for those who are interested in the modern self help, manifest your desires, movement. Written about 1910, about a year before he died, Wallace Wattles sums up all he has learned about the methods of obtaining wealth. About the age of thirty, struggling to feed his family, Wallace seeks to find the answer of why some people are poor and others are not. The book shares his findings. This was the book that the DVD "The Secret" was based on. The basic principles given by Wattles are very similar to present day prosperity writers. The book is short and easy to read. Other good books on the topic are "Law of Attraction" and "Ask and It is given" by Esther Hicks and "The Greatest Secret" (Internet book) by Darell Daybre + + +Whether Mayes and her husband stay in castles, rented houses, hotels, monasteries, homes of people or are cruising to their destination, the delightful experience is thoroughly shared with the reader. It's fun to share in the shopping experiences and see what souvenirs Mayes picks up in different markets and the reasons she and her husband want the items. Treasures they find include a five-pound book from a museum in Madrid, CD of flamenco music in Sevilla, different foods or seasonings, tiles and animal skins. + +The characters were well developed and it's a creative story, without a doubt. I simply struggled a bit throughout the story, having to frequently remind myself who was who and what their conflict was. +6828 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is great game to have on my Kindle Fire for my grandchildren. Having it on my Kindle Fire is great and a handy way to occupy them in a pinch. +1116 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Have read all of the Hawke series and just wish there were more of them... Hopefully Mr. Vaughan will write more of them... +Way to go Amazon !! + +I liked Kadan's story better than the other stories featuring his group. But I prefered the SEAL stories. This one didn't touch the intensity of the Norton books, despite a solid and interesting plot. 4 stars. + +James and Laura, both medical doctors met each other after ten years of separation. Laura ended up in ER after a very bad car accident, James the doctor on shift and ten years of pain and hurt had to be dealt with. +1183 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This romance book bundles the stories of heroes Sawyer, Morgan, Gabe and Jordan, 4 brothers who live together in their childhood home. Sawyer is the doctor, Morgan is the sheriff, Gabe is the laid back handyman and Jordan is the vet. Each man is in some way the pillar of their small town community, and other than being womanizers (in a nice and respectful way), they are all perfect. For that I gave a 1 star deduction. One decent, halo-over-his-head glowing, handsome, tall, muscular, sexy, honest, single, well-endowed, straight brother is amazing, two is shocking, three is a stretch, and four is defying the laws of possibility. +6975 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love the Longmire series on TV and also have found the book just as entertaining and enjoyable to read. +243 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Lisa Scottoline, Mistaken Identity (Harper, 1999) +3691 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Bookworm Speaks! +2264 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is very much a practical manual although the ideas are deeply rooted in the thought of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz and Emerson, among others. The style is refreshingly direct and lucid as it explains the ancient truths anew. Much emphasis is placed on the emotion of gratitude and the individual's creativity as the channels for creating wealth; in other words, creating abundance without competing against others. Wattles writes with genuine authority and his style is free of embellishment. This is definitely a classic of the genre and ranks with the best works of later authors in the field, like Catherine Ponder, Joseph Murphy, John Randolph Price and Stuart Wilde. +Living Dead Alice +6778 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Let me be frank up front. I am a Christian with all that implies. Yet I did not like this book and I am not sure I am going to ever read another book by this artist. From the clumsy dialog to the sloppy plot line to the incredibly bad writing this book was a failure. For example, there is a point at which the protagonist is helping someone up. The prose reads something like "Jonathan reached out his hand and Jonathan took it." I am not kidding. Now, that may be slightly paraphrased, but the essentials are there. For example, there is a battle in an office building where the police are getting absolutely creamed. Do they stop and regroup? Does anybody say "these tactics are not working?" Nope. They continue fighting using the old methods until practically everyone is dead. + The most common and far-reaching complaint was that Diamond had succumbed to the heresy of environmental determinism. Understandably, Diamond grounded his argument in geographic and environmental factorsbut he repeatedly cited numerous other influences as well. Ultimately, of course, everything we humans do, and everything weve done in the millions of years since our ancestors first climbed out of the trees, has been environmentally determined. +The Winwood family has title but no money. Rule doesn't know much about her but decides to marry the eldest daughter Elizabeth. Horatia (Horry) is 17 and the younger sister. Horry goes to Rule and tells him Elizabeth loves another and that Horry would like to marry Rule instead. She has heard that men like him have mistresses and Horry assures him she will not interfere with that. Horry admits to Rule her flaws - she has straight, thick black eyebrows, a pronounced stammer, and is short. They marry. Horry is mischievous, honest, frank, high-spirited, and has inherited her family's tendency to gamble. She gets into numerous scrapes. +Juniper Bell's TRAINING THE RECEPTIONIST is naughty and pushes buttons. When a seemingly innocent job turns into more than either Simon nor Dana expect, the results are love and fantasy and erotic goodness! +brings you closer together cause you understand you mate so much better + + + +It seems a new destiny has been made for Charles, one that includes Anna. His mate. His love. His Omega. +9019 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really liked this book. It was very well written and the story was immediately engaging. I have to admit that I really hesitated to purchase this book due to the cover. I have become so disgruntled lately with a lot of the junk that is out there. Needless to say, I am very happy that I purchased this book. + + +I felt bad for the girl, and then I didn't feel so bad for her. I felt sad for her, I guess, because of her situation and how it turned her into what she was. I understood it, in a way. I wasn't too surprised, even if I didn't quite like it. + + +I loved the parts where they H/h stalk each other. Everyone has done it- broken the speed record to be able to seemingly bump into someone or make sure that a coincidence didn't seem too contrived. +Most people who READ to learn about health problems will be smart enough by now to know to be very suspicious about the confusing advice given as fact in this book. +8186 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent collection! I love to see collections of books like this. Even if I choose not to read one, I've gotten my money's worth. +Reviewed for One Good Book Deserves Another. + +Or now we have a story by Sigourney Weaver about CO2 and acid levels in the oceans. This wouldn't be bad except the story ran over a week ago and has come back. + +4313 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My mother read it to me. I read it to my kids. I bought this for my nieces child. +And now, since I don't have anything more to add, here is my rating :- four out of five stars. + + +7891 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is probably my favorite Markhat story so far. It's got it all--danger, intrigue, romance, a great mystery and as always superb characterization. This is a great read for mystery fans, UF fans, and fantasy fans. Nice concise world building without wasting a bunch of time on excess details. Excellent little read. + + +* note - I listened to the audio version of this. The narrator did a very good job. +Big Tim Sullivan who is a corrupt Tammany politician. He controls saloons, gangsters, and the Mayor of New York. +Single White Vampire was Lucern's tale where wrote about his siblings' lovelifes - their real lovelife and romance editors thought they were vampire romances. So the takes of his brothers and sisters come AFTER his tale meaning they had already happened before Lucern happened. Since there are four more currently planned over the next two years waiting to read them in order is plain silly. + +My only complaint is that the end was too predictable. With such fantastic writing and characters, I expected the plot to have a big twist. But it didn't. I could see the ending coming pretty early on. However, I still loved every moment of the story. + + +[...] +Still and all, I would recommend the book. It's easy reading and she does a great job of illustrating the importance of using your intuition. Also, most things improve with practice, so some of the difficulties in applying her advice may be overcome by strengthening your intuition through practice. +6137 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I by chance started the series in Book 3, thinking I HAD already read Books 1 & 2, but references to the earlier stories were not jogging any memories of the story lines. So I stopped reading Book 3 and purchased Book 2. Again references to Book 1 were not triggering any memory of the plot (something I'm usually very good at). Yet I knew I had a hard copy of Book 1 somewhere in my physical library and was pretty sure I'd read it and intended to continue through the series. Finally I discovered there was a 10 year break in the writer's producing Book 2. I bit the bullet and decided to go back and re-read Book 1. I'm glad I did. Now I'm eager, again, to move on to Book 2 through Book 5 without having to wait through the publishing process! I recommend this series with high hopes for the adventures to be encountered. +7022 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Humor, adventure, heroism, Stoicism, all seasoned with a chaste love interest. Johnson has created a hero but described an environment, a way of life, in the Louis L'Amour tradition. Lots of fun and I will read another Longmire. +Norm +The story is interesting and this interpretation of the werewolf genre is very well thought out. The pacing is very good. Just when you start to feel the story is getting too comfortable, a surprising twist is thrown in that livens it up again. +8880 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 FIve and One Half Stars! Georgette Heyer is one of my favorite authors of all time. Every single one of her books is immensely satisfying -- like a large chunk of great, gooey, decadent chocolate cake after a delicious meal. My guess was one of three people -- and I was right. But very few readers will see this villain coming... +3570 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I understand that an erotic novel is sometimes just that & that's fine. I'm willing to suspend disbelief with the best but this was just beyond the pale. I would've thought it was a joke save for the sex scenes which though graphic were anything but sexy or even accidentally humorous. The characters seemed to be placed in the plot merely to execute a series of not very imaginative sex positions with no relation at all to their station in life or the time period they are meant to be living in let alone any kind of inner life or even surface life. Skip it! +I want to apologize now to all the fans of Mr. Johnson's work and to my father for being so stubborn. I am still eating my humble pie, but it goes down a lot smoother when reading the Longmire series. + +Walt's able bodied staff include Ferg, the good ol' boy who is pretty much a gofer but knows how to get the job done. Then there is Vic, the female deputy with a snarling personality and a don't get in my way attitude. One had best not commit a crime and try to get away with it 'cause Vic will bring you in! Ruby, his capable, aging secretary, keeps him in line and also doesn't hesitate to express her opinions. Turk is overly ambitious, not too accommodating and sometimes just a pain in the altogether! + +Editing/Formatting: 2 Stars +I excerpted much of the following from the website Heyerlist dot org which says it well - what to expect when you read this book. +5719 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed reading these mysteries because they walked you through the clues and provided opportunities to solve it along with the detective but as many books written in this time period, they were a bit long. I sometimes wanted them to just cut to the chase! Other than that (and that I didn't realize that this would be well over the equivalent of 900 pages long) I did enjoy reading these and look forward to reading Vol. 2. +7722 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was very intriguing. It's great to read about senior citizens having fun, finding love, and still valuable to police by helping them bring killers to justice. I think that Jim and Penny are going to be right up there with my favorite characters. I recommend this novel to every one that likes mysteries and fast moving plots. I the author,Bob Moats. I am looking forward to reading more of his works. + +If anyone is concerned with insulin resistance go to YouTube and watch Jason Fung videos and get his book for results that make a difference as dramatic as I only ever got from Atkin's before. +If you like magical fairy tale stories, I HIGHLY recommend giving this one a chance!

While working to keep his bush plane company in business he encounters Missy an old high school friend he had a crush on years ago. Tad is not aware that Missy is a wolf and after meeting her again he is willing to remain human if he can be with her. +8405 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was a breath of fresh air. The quirky characters are just about as opposite as can be, but they come together in a very fun way. I love the main character, however the constant reference to "the girls" is a bit off putting. It kept good pace and the paranormal spin was a new one. Definitely worth the read. +5215 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Absolutely the best book on money around. I bought each of my adult children a copy along with their respective boyfriends & a close friend of mine as well. You'll not regret the investment. +"D-do you think so?" Horatia was surprised. "It is a great trial to me, I can assure you." She took a breath, and added, with difficulty: "You m-may have n-noticed that I have aa stammer." +I feel like a warning is needed.. you may have lots of emotions. Characters are so well written you feel like your next to them. It isn't always a positive feeling either. I had moments of complete anger. +I most certainly want to find this suite Ethan had on my next cruise! + +In typical Virginia Smith fashion, Age Before Beauty is a perfect blend of poignancy and humor. Allie's determination to be strong and independent lands her in hot water over and again. The reader laughs and cries and longs to teach the headstrong young woman a lesson before she learns it the hard way on her own. This second book in the Sister-to-Sister series is a fun peek into the lives of a close-knit family of sisters, and an eye-opening look at what can happen in a life where God is left out of the equation. +2079 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Winner of the 2007 Man Booker Prize. The story unfolds as a dysfunctional family gathers together for the funeral of the dead brother Liam, who killed himself by swimming out into the ocean. Flashbacks abound and hidden secrets of the past are revealed. Enright's prose is unique: sparse, poetic, and evocative of deep mourning. Unless artful prose can keep you entertained for several hundred pages, however, this book is likely to be slow going for you. Although I appreciate Enright's masterful writing, I struggled to finish this book. + +The stories in THE SIMPLE ART OF MURDER, though, are earlier stories, and some of their detectives have characters that would not let them be easily renamed after Marlowe. For example the hero of "Spanish Blood," the first story in this collection, is Hispanic, and that is important to the plot. + +Characters are good. I like Samatha Mack, the protagonist, who's been on the Chicago police force for only two years. Have read anthropology studies about police officers and the ones I've known are a lot like her. The two years' time she spent on the force really seems like a short time for her to be as jaded and 'rode hard' as the book depicts. +9330 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Katie Grissom had a good thing going with Cutter Standifer until she had a one night stand with Justin Cruz. A night she deeply regrets. She loved Cutter but something was missing from their relationship sexually. Katie just can't let go of her feelings for Cutter.

Ky is a 21-year old woman whose life plans go awry and she is sent away from home. She sees it as a punishment, not fully aware that her father sees it as sending her to safety. As her father expects she takes risks, risks that lead trouble to her. Ky is a flawed complex character who I found myself not only rooting for but also identifying with, and this lead to trouble putting the book down. If you're looking for a good read but not one long on scientific facts (a space western of sorts), then this is the book for you. + + + + +2673 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely love this author.

I've already been able to delve into authors like Murray Bail and Elliot Perlman and now I've had the pleasure of reading a stunning novel, `Dirt Music', written by acclaimed Australian author Tim Winton. I must say this; after this read I surely will be researching his bibliography. + +Who is "gathering" is not so much the family, but Veronica's memories.

Very clean book to read. Thank you +When I first met Remi in Without Reservations he was the somewhat homophobic best friend of Chayton Winston, a veterinarian and mate of Keaton Reynolds. Initially it was difficult for me to accept Remi in a gay relationship as well as the change in his personality, however the author provided a plausible explanation for his change of mind about Chay's and Keaton's relationship as well as the major shift in his own sexual orientation. It seems that Remi had a deep, dark secret that he had never admitted to himself or anyone else until it's almost too late. +3357 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I am also an avid Julie Garwood fan. I read and reread her earlier historicals (Ransom --my favorite--, The Prize, The Wedding, The Secret, etc., etc.). They were keepers for me. I enjoyed the prequel to this one, Shadow Dance (though a modern romance). I was hoping to love this one, as I've been waiting for Ms. Garwood to return to historicals for a long time. But I decidedly did NOT like this book! I finished it because I kept hoping it would get better, but it did not. I hope that, in future, there will be more historicals, BUT with the quality, romance, and chemistry that we are used to from her. +The Forsyte family is determinedly regal and hard-nosed, almost to the point of a fault. And as the story begins, the Forsyte family has come together to celebrate June Forsyte's engagement to a young bohemian architect, Philip Bosinney -- except for June's father, who eloped with the governess and is now shunned by his family. Among the guests are the stuffy, domineering Soames Forsyte and his quiet, unhappy wife Irene -- though she conditionally agreed to marry him, she doesn't love him. But Soames regards Irene as his most valuable piece of property, even as she begins an ill-fated affair with Bosinney. At the same time, the patriarch Jolyon starts to kick off family disapproval, and goes to see his estranged son. +At time it seems the whole town is against Ransom and Gwen's relationship and they have to battle predictable adversaries at every turn. Through it all Ransom proves you can't judge a man by his age but by his maturity. +2219 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a classic in spiritual literature. I loved reading this years ago, and enjoyed it once again recently. +Barbara shows you how and encourages you along the way. + +3043 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great book +[...] +I read this book for the third time today. I really enjoy this one. This story, although not perfect, is a very believable premise for gay-for-you love. You can just imagine the two MCs, Mav & Duke 'daring' each other so as to excuse their gay urges. Reminds me of all those spin-the-bottle games I played at school camps & sleep-overs as a child. There is a little bit of awkwardness to the angst, but apart from that the story hangs together well. The erotic content is beautifully written too. This is a sweet romance that I would happily recommend. +2862 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This book started off so well but it soon became bogged down with repetitious scenes. After reading half the book I finally laid it to rest. +Sophie, the Duchess of Calton, is devastated when she is informed that her husband Garrett has perished at the Battle of Waterloo. Tristan, both Sophie and Garrett's childhood friend, is the one who helps her through her grief, pregnancy and eventually the one to help her overcome the loss of her first love and learn to find love once again in his arms. Eight years after the dreadful news of Garrett's death, Sophie and Tristan are happilly married raising their two children (Sophie & Garrett's daughter Miranda, and Gary - Tristan's son from his first marriage). She has moved on and although she still remebers Garrett - she has found love and passion with her new husband. That is, until the night that Garrett returns demanding his title, his land, and, more importantly, his wife back. +3997 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A book written years ago that the author of "The Secret" found and repackaged into the book and video...quite simple and interesting...more importantly, it shows me if you are clever and articulate, you can revamp old stuff and market it into new stuff and make millions...I agree life is vibrations and am truly amazed how Rhonda took this book and changed just some words, got modern day new agers and authors to comment and the rest is history...I wish I could have been so smart...so simple, yet so ingenious.... +4987 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Morcyth Sage is a great series.

I can't wait to read the rest!! +~The Rebecca Review +As Helene is first made to succumb to Daniel, it is in a dirty motel room, with Daniel being tall, elegant, nicely dressed like an executive, commanding in demeanor, and a direct contrast to the seedy, bare environment. I loved how EM writes this scene, how he juxtaposes the repressed, clean and tidy Helene, the elegant and predatory Daniel, and the run-down motel room, which cannot pretend to be anything it's not- lewd, shameful, and illicit. +8457 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Martin Beck, a Superintendent for the Stockholm Homicide squad, suddenly has to deal with a city that has become the scene of a rash of brutal muggings and child-sex murders. + +2429 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is a breath of fresh air. Christianity centered around food and feasting with a very hard, real, transparent look at how much we've complicated relationship both vertically (humanity) and horizontally (divinity).

I'd seen the Judy Garland movie several times and frankly gotten a little tired of it. I'd seen a TV movie with new characters but had not realized there were further adventures actually written by Baum. These are written for children but everything is so fresh and new they are great fun reads for adults, too. I'm only part way through the entire collection but am having a great time following Dorothy's adventures in the different worlds. Not all take place in Oz - so far, I've traveled to Ev (across the great desert from Oz) and a land underground inhabited by people who are vegetables and not particularly nice ones. + +Regardless, this is a good buy on many levels. I have the Kindle version - and a printed version. + +This is the first of Reynold's books I've read. I just purchased all of the others--although I think I'll wait between reading each book--since each one is a "path not taken" in the same story, it could become disconcerting I think to read them all in a row. +But Kasey till now has never had a boyfriend to care and he doesn't see the reason to suffer all the harrassment he will receive in the locker room if he makes that claim. That is, but now in Kasey's life enters Gram, a night club owner and an openly gay man who had bad experiences in the past with closeted lovers. +When they were having it out in one part he says that the only woman he has slept with since their wedding is you (Francesca). Um . . . but they didn't even sleep together then either. Their wedding was 6 months before and she had run away on that day because of him and his ex kissing "passionately". Then on the very next page he says that he hadn't slept with another woman since she returned to Sicily. Problem being that would imply that from their wedding until the day she returned he did sleep with other women. +8512 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really liked this book.

He adores watching her stalk prey in which to feed when she goes to their club downstairs. Tonight is no different, except Lisa brings her prey home and Brett finds out he is a vampire as well. +4312 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was a cute book. I think the subject matter appeals to younger kids (thanks, in part, to the movies and TV shows based on Winnie-the-Pooh), however, so much of the book's comedic appeal is in the actual writing and spelling, which the younger kids wouldn't grasp (pre-readers or early readers). I read this book to my two preschoolers, and surprisingly, despite the length of the book and each of the chapters, they absorbed quite a bit of the story. I was just a little sad that they wouldn't understand the aforementioned comedy of spelling. Overall, a charming story. I hope to read books #3 and #4 with my kids soon. +2382 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I always thought that blogs were mostly a huge waste of time but Daily Kos really changed my opinion on blogs. It is very informative, funny, well-written. I find it to be very well adapted to the Kindle format. Daily Kos is very organized and easy to navigate from the Kindle. It is updated very frequently during the day and even the night. you can always keep track of all important political events wherever you are. +7853 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My Review by Carlyn - BMR Guest Reviewer +1654 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've just started reading Robert Vaughan.

What's not to love? +"The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" tells the story of Oscar, the awkward and overweight teen son of a Dominican immigrant. Oscar is a fan of what the narrator calls "the Genres" -- fantasy, sci-fi, video games, anime, role-playing games, etc. -- and dreams of someday becoming a great writer on par with J. R. R. Tolkein. But Oscar also dreams of finding a girlfriend, a quest thwarted by his social awkwardness and his looks... not to mention his brutal, overprotective mother. Oscar's story doesn't stand alone, however, and woven throughout his narrative are other stories -- his older sister who struggles to break free from their mother's toxic parenting, his mother who grew up in horrific circumstances during the reign of a sadistic dictator, and his grandparents who made a powerful enemy in the leader of the Dominican Republic and lost everything, including their lives, to his vengeance. All this is told through the voice of Yunior, Oscar's college roommate, who has his own take on what happened to Oscar and his family... but can we trust his words? +5003 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I appreciate having these biblical books available in the Contemporary English version which makes it easier to follow and understand the message.

Well, no one ever said Ghost Busting was going to be easy. + +9009 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Very good book and the author did a really good job with the characters. I hope to see more from this author and this series. +3011 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Spring, 1876, Colorado +360 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I found this book to be a hard read for my old brain (68+) but very informative. Our youngsters need to read this book over and over so they can learn to resist Communism preceded on occasion by Socialism. +1688 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I didn't expect to enjoy Web Mage since I am not 'into' computers - except the basic need to know stuff. My preferred fantasy is Lackey, Butcher, McCaffery plus but I thoroughly enjoyed both Web Mage and this excellent sequel. I completely agree with previous reviewers who have done a great job of describing the contents of the books. I just wanted to add that both are real page turners. Ravirn / Raven is an engaging hero and the computer / hacker stuff while probably authentic enough to satisfy the cognoscenti doesn't overwhelm the ignorant (like me) or the story line. Other characters are perhaps not quite as well rounded - but that may be the down side of first person narrative. I look forward to more stories! +4032 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Robb/Roberts provides her standard excellence in the in Death series. I actually bought this book by mistake. I read this months (years?) ago. However, it is the kind of book that needs to have multiple reads to get all the nuance. I read so fast that I sometimes miss things, which is why I re-read books. Oddly, I had not read the other short stories in the book. Kinsman by Krinard was wonderful. It started a little slowly, since there was so much foreign information to absorb. However, the information was presented pretty well in the context of the story. The short seemed much longer, in a good way, than it was. A lot was packed into a few pages. Immortality by Shayne was amazing. Although there could clearly be a series of longer books that tell them story up to the point where the short story starts and more could be written after the story ended, the short story is complete in itself. It is well presented as a stand-alone and is a wonderful story. The ending is fabulous. Magic Like Heat Across My Skin by Hamilton has all the sexual bits one expects from a Hamilton piece of writing and, in the short story, they work well enough. (Personally, I don't care for the sexual tenor of ALL of her books; it is a little like a sledgehammer. Nevertheless, she can tell a good story. I would just like more subtle sex.) The back story regarding the female protagonist's leadership of this clan of the wereleopards is well presented. My problem with the story is that it is presented as an adventure to rescue two wereleopards and all of the necessary facts are detailed about the wereleopards at issue. While we seem to move in that direction, the story suddenly takes a tangent regarding some unexplained point from the series the book is a part of. When that small subplot is supposedly resolved, by the character exclaiming that the mystery will never be resolved, the story ends. We never ever get to rescuing the wereleopards. However, we are told that we can learn the rest of the story if we buy the next book. I would assume that we would also need to buy the earlier books as well in order to know what in the world is really going on. Robb and, I presume, Shayne are writing stories that are part of a series. However, their stories can be read as stand-alone stories that have a clear, understandable beginning and a fully resolved endpoint. That more action may happen is clearly intimated, but we get to the end of the story that was initially presented. Hamilton's story feels more like a somewhat longer sneak peek at her series than an actual short story. Really, it is a set of vignettes from the series that would be unfulfilling to anyone who is not a reader of the series. So, the first three stories were excellent. I hated to penalize them by reducing the stars, when it was only Hamilton's story that was under par. As I said, Hamilton writes well, but this particular short story is not really a story that has a beginning with a rational ending. +Note that I don't really do stars. To me a book is either worth reading or it isn't. I can't rate it three-fifths worth reading! The only reason I've relented and started putting stars up there is to credit the good ones, which were being unfairly uncredited. So, all you'll ever see from me is a five-star or a one-star (since no stars isn't a rating, unfortunately). +Yet inside her, is there still a glimmer of compassion? Alice herself barely knows. +It was great to see Kaylee's best friend Em, as well. I just adore her most of all, because she sticks with Kaylee through thick-and-thin. They have such a sweet, innocent friendship at this point in the story. We also get to see Nash in his all is alpha, jock glory. I would have like to see just a little interaction between Kaylee and Nash, but that is probably me just being greedy. ++ Vitellius +5666 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I am in my third reading of this entire series. While I really like both Kaden and Tansy, other reviewers have commented on the overt dominance/submission feeling of this book, which I somewhat agree with. But I don't think it goes overboard. He is a very strong male lead, she is strong in a softer but more persistent way ... and the twists and turns of the story, as well as the involvement of other Ghostwalkers who have their own books make Murder Game a solid read. I don't read series over again because I am bored or out of new material ... I like re-visiting stories of familiar friends! +788 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Do not ever subscribe to this magazine.

If you're a fan of the Longmire TV series, the books are a bit different, but even better. Well worth the read. +that was, no doubt, inevitiable, considering the story. +After her fiancé once again postpones their wedding, Becky is told by her father to put aside her childhood problems with Josh, or she isn't welcomed at her parent's anniversary party. So we see already the resentment she holds toward Josh, that he is welcomed by her family more than she is even if he doesn't know why even Josh doesn't understand why her father welcomes him more, treats him with respect, than his own daughter. +9. The Doctor's Secret Bride +About the only thing I could recommend this book for would be as a classic study in character history and personality traits NOT to give your protagonist. Okay, he's a good guy, has a sense of right and wrong, is kind to his parents and hasn't kicked any dogs by the end of the book. Beyond that, as a general rule I don't require that a book's plot be 100% "believable" or even a remote semblance of real life. Still and all, THIS one was completely out of the realm of even MY sense of plausibility. + +Originally posted at Whipped Cream Reviews +Nothing was found except a number of gold coins... +4481 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 This review was originally posted on my blog Little Miss Reader [...] + + +4157 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 For those who want to know history + +Lisa +Like many other of Ms. Moon's books, the protagonist starts at the beginnig of her military career.

The context is very consistent with what I would expect for a young merchant ship officer with a significant chunk of military acadamy training. +1606 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 There were so many bad reviews about this book, that I almost didn't read it, having enjoyed the first two books in this series so much I didn't want to ruin it. I am so glad I did read it, and I loved it as much as the first two books. I am honestly confused about everyone's displeasure. Some thought the story took too long to get going, but I didn't notice undue delay and felt the extra background information was needed for the story. Others felt Brodick's character was unrecognizable, and though I admit he had softened a bit from the first two books, I felt it was already happening at the end of the second book and largely due to being married. One of the things I really liked about this book was Gabrielle's guard and their interaction with Colm and his men. There is something enjoyable about the banter between a group of men that are close to each other, particularly when they are all protecting the same woman. I enjoyed the same thing in the second book with Brodick's guard. I enjoyed Colm and Gabrielle, and felt they were likable, engaging main characters. I also enjoyed the explanations and references to the title, Shadow Music. I highly recommend this book and series! +9081 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I read this book when it was first released years ago. I decided to reread it since it was updated and re-released. I enjoyed it like before and was still a little annoyed by Sommer. Come on the first rule of business is to network. Use your resources around you. I still don't understand how she thought getting recommended by her family and friends equaled a handout. Either way I'm glad she and Caleb finally got their act together and really talked to one another. +The mystery itself is quite good, and typical of Lanyon. You will probably figure out whodunit a little before Flynn does, but there are enough good red herrings along the way to distract you and make you doubt your conclusions. The conclusion is actually quite abrupt, but things do get resolved cleanly, if all too conveniently. It leaves you feeling a bit dissatisfied. A little bit of an epilogue might have been nice. Still, this is a very good historical mystery which at under 200 pages in print makes for a nice read. + +Everyone interested in political thought or modern history needs to read this book. Its influence--its ongoing influence--is incalculable. Its critique of the exploitative nature of capitalism remains astonishingly relevant. And its predictions about the future course of history, even if no longer inspiring or convincing, are crucial to grasp if one is to understand many of the political impulses of the past one hundred and fifty years. +Ok, here is what I recommend......pour yourself a glass of wine (or something a little "stiffer" if you like lol), get all nice and comfy on your couch and stare at the cover for a few minutes......yes.....aha.......just let your eyes roll of those features. You will be drooling over those features for the rest of your day! +I don't know who I should recommend this book to, since it is so deep and emotional... + + + +This is an amazing story.

I was not disappointed! I liked the TV drama but the characters are so much more three dimensional in the books.

Mathewson's Playing for Keeps (A Neighbor From Hell Series) + +Halfway through the book none of the reasons was enough to keep me going. I have only so many hours I can read each day, and I have many more lovely books waiting to be read. So. Now, I'm enjoying this one's opposite: Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. +Mitchell is one of those women who writes men well. She gets the emotional repression, and also the physical attraction that goes beyond plumbing and hooks you right into the heart/brain/body triad. I have to confess, admitting that I understand this genre really well, I could have done with less sex. Mitchell is careful to make her love scenes integral to the plot development - but I find her characters and their stories interesting enough that I don't really need all the bump and grind. Love, to me, is more interesting than sex. Mitchell knows that, and her later works demonstrate her skill even more, well, skilfully. +Armchair Interviews says: Well written and compelling. +And so plans are made, and metaphorical lines have been drawn in the metaphorical sand. Everyone has their thinking caps on, and that includes Halt (of course) and Will, Horace, and even the Princess in disguise when she is given the opportunity. New friendships are forged between parties that have been enemies for generations that will have long lasting reverberations both in the books universe and the one we happen to find ourselves in. +Even though I got it for free for my Kindle, I just can't recommend this book. +Burke believes that the code is a set of instructions for building a super spaceship. But there is a catch. Building spacecraft is strictly illegal. How to get away with a project this big? Burke's plan is to build a ship that looks like a jumbo-sized plastic bomb shelter. Leinster (who was an inventor himself) has great fun showing how this is done. I know of no other novel in all of science fiction that boasts of such a spacecraft. Nor do I know of a scene exactly like the one in which a bomb shelter is fleeing from a group of nuclear missles. + + +I will say I thought it very disturbing with the Islam vs. everyone else scenario, but when you think about it, it does have a shade of potential reality to it. This one really makes you think vs. a "soft" read. I'm not going to spoil the story by telling you all about it except I really liked it. You probably will, too. + +For my part, I would encourage anyone who is sitting on the fence and can't decide whether or not to read this to NOT. There are so many better reads out there. +7998 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I couldn't put this down, I love what Mandy Roth does with characters and new imaginative worlds and this didn't disappoint. In this story Earth has exiled all paranormal beings to a predetermined planet far away and threaten to kill any that try to stay, even if they only have a little bit of paranormal DNA and have little or no special abilities. Sevan Vasil is one of these diluted shifters hiding in plain sight as the captain of the Commission (the government body controlling most of the known universe and the ones responsible for the exile of paranormals). Sevan has strange dreams of his mate for the last six months and when he has to make an emergency landing on an unknown planet outside the Commission's reach, finds out they weren't just dreams as he sees her in person. To say the least it gets pretty interesting from there. There's a lot of cultural differences that lead to some humorous situations, a little danger, a damsel in distress, an evil vampire, a hot hero and a prophecy that will change everything for the planets dying race. +With his intrepid apprentice, Kern, and a horde of faithful gargoyles led by the intrepid Sir Knobby, Wistril figures out how to defeat the bad guys in these three fun tales of magical mayhem. +2931 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What a way to start the weekend! Sexy Gage struts his "stuff" for the girls to see. Little did we know he was hoping Hailey would catch the show and fall for him. He is a brave man to show it off just to get his girl. +Machinery is no more an economic category than the bullock that drags the plough. Machinery is merely a productive force. The modern workshop, which depends on the application of machinery, is a social production relation, an economic category."(6) +7701 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As this is Bobs first real crack at a full book you can forgive and look past the grammatical,spelling etc errors especially as the story line sucks you in hook, line and sinker.

I really enjoyed reading them all. + +Zuckerberg made great decisions about his business. He took in workaholic partners from the beginning, he controlled the growth so he could keep up with the strain on his network, he did not allow advertisers to interfere with the experience. His motto, growth first, revenue second. He moved his company to Palo Alto, California to be near the technology capital of the world:Silicon Valley and Venture Capital. He hired Sean Parker as the first President of his company who knew the ends and outs of retaining power while raising capital. Parker was the one who changed the company's name to Facebook and was a mentor to Mark. +Reeces destiny is about to crash into him, literally, but is he ready for what she has in store. I have to say I am a sucker for a man with dark hair and light eyes and this man was no exception. Throw in his sexy accent and the way he knows how to treat a lady and Reece is one hell of a leading man. When he was so understanding and compassionate with Destiny I felt my heart go out to them a little. +Will is still weak from his ordeal from the warmweed and he does not recover right away. Again, playing to the realism. All the characters go through growth when they are so far from home and forced into challenging circumstances. Halt has to come into his own as a strategist after working on his own or among fellow rangers for so long. Horaces skills are put to the test and Evanlyn struggles with her role as a princess out of her kingdom. Finally the Skandians and Erak have to face an enemy that won't flee at the sight of their wolfships. Everyone is put to the test. +Read in April, 2011 +4473 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Good +Then the girls get started winding Teagen around their little fingers. Their antics are beyond cute; five year-old Rose does a particularly good job of showing Teagen how dull his life had been before the 3 dynamos arrived. + +I also had a few problems with how Jake and Remi, and by extension, their friends and pack, dealt with the very serious threat of Remi's father. Not to mention my utter disgust over Remi's mother's willingness to stay in such a violently abusive relationship. It's tragically realistic - happens every day - but it's not something that makes for a pleasant read. And frankly, with so many werewolves around, I just couldn't understand why Remi's father didn't "accidentally" end up as dead as he deserved before the situation degenerated to the degree it did. Especially with the lives of Sterling and their mom on the line. It's not like precedent hadn't been set in the first book to allow for killing in self defense. +6521 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the second book in the Henry Wright series that I have read. They move along fast and don't have a lot of gore as so many of the mystery's do. +8769 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I randomly picked Forbidden: Playing with Fire [book 1] and found an absolute gem. Without totally retelling the tale, it is the story of two roommates, Michaela, a heroine I related to on so many levels and beautiful Austin, a gorgeous, sweet guy I fell in love with too. The action is beyond hot & edgy (not for the faint of heart-m/f, m/m, voyeurism) and completely absorbing. The unique story line moves quickly, but is not a 2 chapter short story. The characters are great- no unnecessary angst, whining or drama. If you are interested sweet, erotic read, Forbidden: Playing with Fire is at the top of the list. +262 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I gave this book 5 stars because Joyce always seems to know just what I need. She makes a lot of sense and conveys it on a level that is easy for me to understand. I recommend this book to all. God has blessed her, He has blessed me and He will bless you. +3285 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have read many books of this series but, to my surprise, apparently not the one in which Decker and Lazarus first meet. The Ritual Bath was both a good mystery story and very informative about aspects of the Jewish faith and life. I followed a red herring or two, jumped to at least one incorrect conclusion, and thoroughly enjoyed this book. You probably will too. +3324 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I didn't realize that there was a third book in the series. This book is enjoyable and easy to read. This book can be read as a stand alone. It is nice to read them though to get some background. + +1522 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 An unusual story. Knowing nothing about the Jewish faith, I found the story educational. It also challenged me to figure who committed the crimes up to the end. + + + As I began to read, I was immediately reminded of several other books. AMERICAN TRAGEDY, THE ALIENIST, THE GANGS OF NEW YORK, and even CLOCKWORK ORANGE. The setting is New York City with Coney Island featured most of the time. There are gangsters and factory girls and Tammany Hall politicians and they all speak their own unique language, some Yiddish and Bowery slang. Thankfully I checked out the back of the book. Sure enough, there was a glossary. You'll be paging back and forth for the entire read. +2096 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Grandchildren love this series of books!

I thought this book fit in nicely as a P&P retelling/what if variation. It was light, sweet, and a good blending of romance and attraction. This being said, I did have a slight issue. It was heavy on the Christian side of fiction. Now, I know during that period of time, there was a strong influence of the Church in literature and society, which is not as conspicuous in literature published today - although there is a huge religious fiction literature section. Although this doesn't detract from the actual plot, and in a sense it's used as a plot device, I found it a little bothersome. +There are too many asinine ideas to detail, but some highlights (or lowlights) are; abolition of the family; abolition of home education; abolition of nations; abolition of eternal truth, religion, and morality; aboltion of private property; abolition of inheritance; progressive income tax (we have it!); confiscation of property; central bank (we have it!); centralized communication and transport; production owned by the State (GM); industrial armies (national service); abolition of town and country; free education (nothing is free). + +394 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Marx's ideas fascinate me because they are so original.

When her black "stand in mother" is put in jail for insulting some racist men, Lily springs her out and they run away together.

True, there is no explicit right to privacy granted in the Constitution, but that doesn't mean it isn't an implied right, intended by the nation's founders. Surveys show that the majority of Americans feel that privacy is a right and should be Constitutionally protected. Levin feels it is not a right and that the Supreme Court should not treat it as such. It's interesting how the book so Levin so quickly changes his position on democracy and the importance of upholding the will of the people when they vote something into law. If a vote of the people confirms the right to privacy, one would think that someone like Levin would agree that it should be made into law. But based on his other convictions in this book, he would likely be against it, in direct contradiction of some of his other stands on the issues and the Supreme Court's authority to decide them. +I felt like they were really great together. They had a playfulness, and you could still see they cared for each other beyond that flirtation. They respected each other for what they were, and so when Lisa went to the club downstairs to feed, Brett (and I) thought nothing of it. + + +Jess Dee delves into the complications that could occur if close personal friends engage in a ménage-a-trois relationship. Maddie, Connor and Gabe enter into their ménage with a lighthearted, fun mentality but at some point a unique connection is made and friendships and hearts could easily be shattered.

After a daring last-minute rescue, our heros must join forces with the Skandians if they ever hope to return home. +4843 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Author Frances Cole Jones doesn't pull any punches -- she tells it exactly how she sees it. And if some of her advice isn't pretty, it can save people from all kinds of "foot-in-the-mouth" situations. + + If you are familiar with the tenets of new age spirituality you will recognize the similarity between these "dimensions of existence" in the book and the "higher planes of existence" in new age spirituality. In both, the inhabitants are spiritually advanced and in both the inhabitants and their environment vibrate at higher frequencies (called existential waveform in the book). The differing frequencies or existential waveforms create an actual barrier between each parallel dimension. The aliens have the technology to quickly move between the multiple existential waveforms and enter other dimensions of existence on this planet. +291 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 good +I enjoyed this story overall, while feeling that it could have been a little punchier and saucier to lead up to - what I consider to be - a pretty darned good last line. +Jo Banks is a Goth chick wannabe stuck with the body of a Playmate of the Year. She wears her lack of normalcy on her sleeve like a badge of honor...and a shield to protect herself, yet feels deeply the slings of family and friends who don't accept her for who she is. Wyatt Haines doesn't feel much of anything beyond annoyance when something upsets his carefully controlled world. He's about as rigid and close minded as a person can be and the only thing he believes in is the bottom line. Well...that and the fact that his new house hates him. +5986 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It was great because it help me understand how Charles and Anna meet. Even if it had three chapters to the book, it was good to read it. +If you want to read a more complete treatment of Judicial Review - Judicial Supremacy, I encourage you to read "The People Themselves" which provides a complete and scholarly, yet very readable, discussion of this vital topic. +9945 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 One was expected to follow a confusing chain of events with out story backup...was there really a plot line? Confusion all the way...much like Alice was stoned... + +3487 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Wings of the night part 1 so happy to have a chance to revisit this series. Cannot wait for more +6984 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 see above comment +Again, the only complain I have is that it's too short. I want more and more and more! LOL =) + + + +7771 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Classmate Murders is a good read, The structure is solid and the plot and chacter devlopment is good. I would recommend this novel to others. +Charles is his fathers enforcer, but it does not mean he likes killing other werewolves. He knows it is necessary and it has to be done by someone. Being on an airplane sure riles his wolf up, and he is very close to the edge. Being around Anna sooths him like nothing ever has before, and his wolf even takes over control of him when he wants to say something to keep Anna at a distance. He won't be able to hurt her, even with his words. +Dev is new to town. He and his best friend Cole(and his mate Caroline) are going to be relocating for work. Dev stumbles upon a the local pack assualting there Omega. He get angry and goes to recue him. Laine, the local Omega and doesn't have a filter on his mouth. He says what is on his mind. Both to their joy, they realized early on in the book they are destined to be mates. When the local pack Alpha continues to torment Laine, Dev has to decide what he will do to proctect his new lover/mate. +The characters are delightful. Karigan is a reluctant hero without being temperamental and childish in obnoxious ways. There are some quirky helper characters who aren't just convenient plot devices, but fascinating mysteries unto themselves. The other Green Riders depicted all have their own merits, flaws, and histories, and the bad guys certainly keep things jumping. I absolutely love the character of Karigan's father, and the role he ends up playing in the story. +9923 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I stopped reading after a few chapters. The main characters lacked depth, which is very common in historical romances but just reading about their adventure in the bath house turned me off. + +2434 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was the best book that I have ever read on living out the principle of Open Table. I love to read about someone who lives their faith, who puts verbs in their sentences, who know that to love Jesus is to try and emulate Him. Sara Miles answers the question of what it means to be inclusive, and she does it in the language of a real person, who forges ahead in faith. Reading this book you cannot say to yourself - well that's okay for a super woman but what does it have to do with me. Sara Miles is a real person. +Don Blankenship +Elizabeth weeps and agonizes in between bed romps (endlessly described, and way too often) that she and Darcy sneak in as often as possible. Because, of course, they simply can't keep their hands off one another, despite a lifetime of having obeyed strict social mores. No, those fly out the window, along with the panting and moans of ecstatic (and mandatory) climaxes. +3072 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The "Gateway" by Glenn G. Thater started off at a run and never slowed down! The action is intense and reads in a similar fashion to the Conan books. I was very impressed with the author's fluid writing style and am going to purchase the rest of the series. Great book!! +4852 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this one just as much as the first one. At first, with it not really being the same women I was unsure, but it was a quick read. +Jo +Scarlet +Cade is a piece of pierced work. He's not about to conform to any standards except the lack of standards. His need to be his own man was endearing. What I loved about him was his fallibility. He's been through a bad relationship and bears the scars, but he's still breathing, still going about his life. I had to hand it to him. Many people would crack, especially after the circumstances he'd lived with, but he didn't. +1585 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 She never fails to make me a very happy reader + +9761 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Kinda short but good. Sure wish you would have made a longer book and let them be together a while and fight against the evil vamps. +I really enjoyed this first entry in the Sheriff Walt Longmire series. I found it interesting with smooth writing and a believable plot. the characters worked well together and their relationships evolved and added to the story. +9140 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It was pretty good. Nice flow, a little one dimensional on characters but over all not a pile of crap + + +The characters in Love of a Lifetime are written well and become so real-you actually believe you've been transported to 1587 Scotland/England along with Briana. When Kendall addresses her as Lady Briana-you'll cry-when Jareth calls her Lady Briana you will celebrate... +3742 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Fantastic Writing by Flanagan. I have been enthralled with his writing and he is on his way to competing with the top fantasy writers of the modern age. +I appreciate the hard work that you must have put into this book but I believe it could be more way more. I know the book wasn't free and the authors takes a chance when they put their books on the free listing more readers, more reviews and more brutal honesty. +4412 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love all of Abigail Reynolds novels, but this is one of the best. I had borrowed it many times from my library's ebooks catalog and finally bought it for my kindle. Great choice! + + +9351 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 intriguing characters try to decode mysterious happenings in old house (filled with even more mystery). Sparks fly, tensions build, and as readers of Beth Kery already know...hot steamy romance. loved it! +Initially, I was interested in what would happen and how the characters would develop. However, after the first book, my hopes that the writing style would mature did not happen. Throughout the second title in this trilogy, I continued to feel the characters would only converse in order for the author to have a way to explain concepts to the reader. And he seemed to be preaching New Age or Eastern philosophies, more than truly make it a part of his world-building. The characters continued to lack emotional depth and did not have very realistic motives or actions. +794 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I Love the insight of Boba + +4158 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Round it a helpful review of things learned so long ago. + +9671 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have a habit with authors I like. When I read one book that I like I swallow the rest of the author's books. This is my second by Martin and I am not disappointed. Really, the level of detail about farming, oil-rig roughnecks and corporate takeovers is astounding. More important for me, though, is the way the author gives you dialogue and character development that are a perfect fit for their environments. The roughnecks are roughnecks, the woman struggling to succeed in a man's world is very believable, and the scars left over from Vietnam are tangible, but understated. I would say that the most interesting aspect of Martin's book for this reader is the visual nature of his descriptions. With the right script writer, I could see a Gordon Gekko, "Greed is Good", kind of movie based on the book. I will keep reading Mister Martin +I can't divulge more about the plot without giving it away. But let me say it is a book that will haunt you with questions and what ifs. Is it possible to be happy with someone knowing that they don't love you? It is possible to love someone too much? How does love and passion turn into a dangerous obsession? What is the difference between love and ownership? And how is it that obsessive love can drive intelligent people to do rash, stupid, unethical and even illegal things (consider the recent case of astronaut Lisa Nowak)? You will continue thinking about this book long after you've finished. +9695 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 the book is a bit preachy in places but it generally does it well with a good writing style, the characters are likeable and the technologies are well described. I would have preferred some nastier baddies and a bit more action in places but this is just me and the story certainly did not detract for the lack of it I just thought it was the only thing that stopped me giving full marks. I'm guessing its probably aimed at a young adult or late teens market, than a die hard sci-fi nut like me, and as such it would be a good way to give such a person an introduction to the genre. +7116 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I am a big fan of Christine Feehan. Have enjoyed all of her series'. Particularly love the Leopard People series. Will read anything written by Christine Feehan!!!!! +6742 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved them all. +The main themes are overcoming your own personality flaws, and the fear of being left behind. Winton's main character Lu has lost everyone he loves; on this journey he meets several characters that could represent those faces from his past. He also has to face the reality that his own perceptions from the past may have been wrong. Horrifyingly so. + + + +I cancelled until they get it right just like everyone else who has tried it. Big let down. +I loved this one, very hot and great read. +3686 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It's another great book. Each book just brings me deeper and deeper into this world, and I love every minute of it. +4474 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I got this in the mail today and knew I had to read it right now. I wasn't wrong. This book grabs you from the first page and won't let go. It's about Alice, a teenager who has lived with her kidnapper, Ray, for five years now. The author wrote this book really well and really made me feel the pain and the numbness that Alice feels. Incredibly well written book, and I look forward to reading more from this author. +5907 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Still love it - to my mind the only shortcoming it has is it's length but it IS a novella. Great start to a consistently good series. +Oscar is far and away the most poignant character to come along in a great long while; in my book he's every bit as memorable as Ignatius J. Reilly, Holden Caulfield, Randall Patrick McMurphy, and other literary giants. Furthermore, "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" is a phenomenal novel that is hysterical, hypnotic, heartwarming and heartbreaking in equal parts (and quite often at the same time). The plot is a madcap high-wire act balanced with astonishing dexterity by Junot Díaz. If he has a misstep it is in the denouement, which is rather sudden and slightly lacking in clarity for an otherwise thorough novel. Nonetheless, I loved, loved, loved this book. And, naturally, I highly recommend it. +I loved the way the inner life of the characters unfolded, revealing so much through action and reaction. And the environment, the mis en place of Western Australia, added to the sense of place and time these characters lived in, as they struggled to find their place in the world, and with one another. +This is a wonderful bargain! +adjusted on an almost daily basis. +3524 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Levin has great insight toward the SCOTUS. The reader cannot go wrong in exploring this book; the foundation of the work is based on solid research. +I absolutely loved the characters and the fact that they were in their 40's made it even better. +Now I really feel ashamed. Baxter is such a wonderful writer, who is able to take the oft-used gimmick of quirkiness and use it to his advantage. Usually, his characters engage me me solely for their oddities that bring out their humanity rather than display their eccentricities. But even with the promised violence of this book, I remained unengaged to the end. +424 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Excellent account of the authors amazing and frightening journey through darkness, terror and evil unknown. A fine read that grabs your emotions and takes you on the journey. Amazing story and spot on believable. Examine yourself if you dare. And do it anyway. Your life now will be improved, and the after life amazingly wonderful beyond description. Eternity is a LONG time. +Maverick Holms and Duke Warren share almost everythinga college soccer team, an apartment and the same extremely competitive nature. Thanks to that never-back-down spirit, they're about to share more than they bargained for. + +5541 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this 2nd book of the Dragon Knight series. This picked up from where Maiden Flight ended and the transition was very well handled. The storyline of Belora's (Maiden Flight) mother, Adora finding love after she has been a widow for 10 years is wonderful particularly when the man she meets is also a widower who lost his family. The meddling of the dragons is cute and very astute. +Maybe it's just me...but the struggles I had with the complexity definitely removed a bit of the enjoyment for me because I had to spend so much time rehashing the past in my mind, in order to put together the current. +5078 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As a new 3rd grader in a new school I found a haven in the local library. There I discovered a full collection of + +6451 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 4.5 stars + +3382 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A twist of a post civil war western where Hawke stumbles across an old friend from the war who has established himself as leader of a vigilante group who has established the way they see the law. So buckle up and enjoy your ride. + +3385 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Entertaining book + +8522 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed the introduction into the British medical health care. The redemption following poor communication and despair. Living with staid and judgemental parents and developing the strength to assert herself and choose love instead. I enjoyed the quick read that made me smile. +Hailey has tried for years to get people to look past her playmate body to the capable woman -- with brains! -- within. She's alienated herself with her standoffish attitude. But once Gage comes into the picture, she completely blooms. +2490 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 i've always loved these girls recipes +4496 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is the first book in the Wildwood duet. This story is a version of the Twelve Dancing Princesses story with an added twist of The Frog Prince, and a setting of Transylvania with the addition of vampire-like creatures. Jena is the second oldest and has helped her father run his merchant business for several years. When his illness sends him away to warmer climates, he has her in charge, asking his neighboring brother to help out as needed. While the girls miss their father, they have a secret of visiting the Faerie kingdom each full moon to dance with the inhabitants through the night. Things begin to get more grim as winter approaches and her cousin Cezar begins to push his way to power. Jena is also worrying about her sisters attachment to a new fellow in the Faerie kingdom, who is part of the Night People. She is always guided by her frog, and Jena is the only one who can hear and understand him. Jena is placed in a perilous position of losing her family home and independence and possibly her sisters life as a death of a member of the Faerie leads to a death in the village and Cezar intent on destroying the Faerie kingdom and taking control. Jena must learn to trust her dear friends to find a way out of this difficult situation. +She is so unhappy with her job, and wants so badly to get away from her awful boss, but he has no intentions of letting her go. He has all kinds of thugs around to do his dirty work. From judges to crazy, obnoxious women. +And speaking of descriptions, look out for the details about Judy Carrier's new bright green VW Beetle if you want an example of how the author pays attention to visualizations, right down to the flower in the glass bottle in the console. This is just one small example. + +The collection includes Austen's most famous six novels, which explore love, societal demands, honor and independent thought -- a girl meddling in people's lives, two sisters with completely different romantic approaches, an "old maid" whose fiance returns to England, a poor relation whose moral standards are challenges, a hyper-romantic gothic-novel fan whose imagination runs amuck, and a slow-blooming love between a proud man and a prejudiced woman. + +While Sowell is indeed correct that Marx and Engles viewed the unfolding of history as a "dialectical conception of reciprocal interaction", that observation does not answer the question: What comes first? The machinery, or new social relations, derived from machines, that interacts with the old social relations to produce the new hybrid social relations? Marx was emphatic that machines came first, then all else followed them. In his retort to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's observation that the use of machines was a consequence of the division of labor,(5) Marx writes: + +7331 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a a great read in the grand old tradition of James P Hogan with a little Asimov thrown in. For anyone who groks that, you will get this book and enjoy the heck out of it. If not, then lets just say if you are in the mood for a good old fashioned space opera in the tradition of the old masters then this will hit the spot. +9514 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this book. While it seemed the beginning could have been 'fleshed out' a little more, by the time the group was starting their trip, the story really gelled and was then hard to put down. I look forward to reading more by this author. + +606 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Very good + +no button to cancel subscription +6336 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Virginia Smith has a way of drawing you right into the lives of her characters. I could really relate to Allie's struggles and her finally realizing what she needed. I don't like to put the details of a story in a review because I feel it ruins it for others...just know you won't be disappointed if you are looking for an inspirational story of real struggles and real love + +Embroiled in all this mess is Yunior, our primary narrator and Oscar's former college roommate (not to mention the philandering ex-boyfriend of Lola, the novel's other narrator), whose experiences with the de León clan will haunt him for the rest of his life. His attempts to help Oscar become more popular fail, as do his tries to escape Oscar's grasp. "These days," he remarks at one point, "I have to ask myself: What made me angrier? That Oscar, the fat loser, quit, or that Oscar, the fat loser, defied me? And I wonder: What hurt him more? That I was never really his friend, or that I pretended to be?" +8171 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great classic sci-fi. Not always politically correct in todays world, but high adventure and while I disagreed with him on many things at least his women got to explore the universe. + +3714 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Book 4 finally lived up to the reputation for awesomeness the Rangers Apprentice series seems to have. The first three books were carried by a fun, easy going story, but held back by annoying quirks in writing style. Either I was so engaged by this story that I didn't notice, or the writing finally got better. I guess it doesn't really matter, The Battle for Skandia was great! +9723 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Mr. Lanyon has long been one of my favorite authors and with this book he stays at the top of the list. While reading the story I kept finding myself thinking of an old black and white Bogart movie. The story's plot while compelling starts out slowly. It then draws you in with its building suspense and with a colorful dialogue. The dialogue is very much in keeping with era of the roaring twenties and topics of the times. The story of the massacre is a mystery within this mystery and then the mystery of the dead girls all add to spell the author builds around the reader drawing us in. The character of David starts out as the typical cynical newspaper reporter who is looking to write a good story while at the same time trying to deny who he is inside. While the character of Julian is more confident in who he is and what he wants. Yet even with different personalities and background come together as a pairing you are rooting for. While there are some m/m situations there is nothing that is offensive to readers in anyway. This is a great book for those that love a great mystery read reminiscent of old days without all the graphic violence and sex of today's more prolific writers. - Ana +7108 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Charlene Harris Starts off hot and heavy in the jungle and does not let up. The heat, humidity and the forth coming change can be felt by the reader. The entrance the dynamic hero, black leopard, sexy man,etc., places a burden on heroine that is almost stiffling. The conclusion we know but the arrival is a thrill. +I will definitely read the next two books in this series. +After the introduction the actual code, or what we know if it, is recorded in all of its known sections. I personally found this to be an interesting read. I must admit to having never read the Code in its entirety before and this gave me a golden opportunity to do so. +8593 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 this is a good book I like Elizabeth Lennox and have read almost all her books. I would recommend this book +"Until later, senorita." + + +So Duke and Mav (Maverick) are in a bit of a tight spot. They need rent money fast. Mav doesn't mind the way Duke displays affection and likes to play "gay chicken". But Mav is a little worried about his own growing affection towards his best friend. +It has been a long time since I have read an Anita Blake book. I used to like her series a lot in the beginning and then I lost interest. This story is from the time frame when I liked Anita Blake. When she only had Richard and Jean Claude to worry about. When things were simpler. This novella sampler comes from Narcissus in Chains. I did like that book. + +3. R.G. Alexander's steamy vampire/were/witch romance series: Regina in the Sun (Children of the Goddess) (more erotic than this) + +3709 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Why do I always need to say something after eating these books. It's the 4th book in and we already know they are amazing +3020 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Nick & Lacey journey didn't have enough passion or productive storyline to keep me interested. The book was too short and not worth the price. +- The h never stands up for herself and in fact, never even addresses some serious betrayals by her best friend/roommate, who told all of her private information to the crazy stalker wife of the H. +Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies) +Drummond "purchases" his love from 25 years ago from another Lord who is "selling" her, because she is baron. Gabriella soon discovers that Drummond plans to have his way with her, sexually. Though she is reluctant at first due to lack of experience, she soon comes to enjoy her liaisons with Drummond. The love builds between them, with some interesting twists threatening their relationship. + +9115 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Great short story about menage sex and a lot of sexual exploring by a couple. OK, so you need to just suspend your disbelief immediately since the premise is that Hake, who has been disabled by an accident, asks his cousin and his cousin's employee, to have wild sex with his wife to make up for the fact that she hasn't been getting any lately. Or at least, not getting anything wild and hot from Hake since his accident. +3016 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Lacey Vaughn was unlucky in love. None of her relationships ever work out, and now she had caught her latest boyfriend Evan cheating in the shower with her friend Christy. She didn't understand what she was doing wrong, but could only determine she must be doing something wrong in bed, and that was why she kept having relationship problems. Her best friend, Nick Stone thought that was laughable. He had never been intimate with Lacey, but had been in love with her for a long time, and knew she wouldn't be a terrible bed partner. He was just glad she was finally free so he could show her how good they would be together. + +But let's talk about these two crazy kids for a second. Or, well, one two hundred year old vampire and the man she finds tied to her bed. Lissianna is charmingly sheltered for being two hundred years old. With her fear of blood and her father's legacy to contend with (not to mention growing up in a time when women were expected to be sheltered), this works. +8271 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 But good story. I think I would have loved it has a whole book. Well worth it! +The reader of this Amanda Ronconi does a good job in providing Kaylee's voice and as a result +The Flaws: The major flaw in this book is that maybe it focuses too much on the war. What makes this series so stellar is the personal relationships between the characters, which are pushed to the side a great deal in this story. There is still a lot of talking, but it is almost completely related to the major conflict. Even at the beginning with the heartfelt reunion, the next passage moves on to the Temujai. This is not a deal-breaker but for readers who are looking for a deeper exploration into the ties that bind Horace, Evanlyn, Will, and Halt, they will be disappointed. + +4850 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 CD/unabridged/Chick lit: By the time I got through the first CD, I really hated this book. The women were so manipulated, it made my stomach hurt. Then by the time I got to the third CD, I really liked it. It kinda ended up the way I thought it would, but there were points that ended up very different. +There aren't many characters. Alice lives a secluded life with her abuser, who doesn't even appear in the text as often as you'd expect. However, we still know him intimately. We know him through Alice's descriptions of his abuse. Her fear of him. The details she slips about his life and his threats. We even pity him, briefly, while still hating him. In the same way, Jake is both lovable and loathable. He's no prince charming, but he's as deeply broken as Alice and looking for any way to escape. He's that dark part of all of us. + + +The story had a very smooth flow, the writing ornate in details of the scents and tastes of fresh baked lemon cake and espresso, the scent of the wooden cottage, fresh falling snow, the painted porcelain at Alice's shop and the colorful and moving stories the women shared melted my heart and made me care for the characters more than I have in a long time with a book. Mary's journey was long; her transformation was not happening overnight and with her efforts to be there for her friends who dealt with death, divorce, betrayal, heart breaks and dark secrets she slowly found the first step on the ladder of her own salvation. +Franklin's rural residents, some in abject poverty and others in comfortable homesteads, provide a colorful panorama of lives affected by civil war. Side plots involve townspeople whose lives will change forever. The grieving widow takes strength from the men who have resided within her house, however short their time. Carnton's halls are filled with activity, then abruptly emptied. But she cannot forget those who died at Carnton. She begins a correspondence with families of the dead to provide relatives with knowledge about boys they've lost, eventually leading to their reburial on her land. She wears black in memory of them all. +-Sue Monk Kidd (The Secret Life Of Bees p 147) +9418 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great read , absolutely love it , thanks for the journey along which you take us when we read your books. +So other than the high school drama kind of feel and the men sounding more like women at times (ex. one of the male characters described a pushy female as a 'stanky ho'), I liked the story. I think I would have liked it a little longer but I appreciated the dialogue. It was witty with out being too sharp like a another popular shifter series that I shall not name. (Don't worry I like that series too.) +Armchair Interviews says: One woman's good work is making a huge difference +3474 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 At first I was disappointed that this was broken up into separate stories till I realized each story tied together with the same characters adding a new character each story.

Contemporaneous with the industrial capitalist production of steam engines, there existed the production of the machines that the steam engines would power. In other words, the steam mill presupposes an already functioning industrial capitalist society! Marx's rebuke to Proudhon is a tautological response that also fails to recognize that a steam engine is made up of independently manufactured parts that predates the manufacture of a steam engine with those independently manufactured parts! Marx fails to mention this double inconsistency with his material "productive forces" empirical observation. +Lisa, a vampire goes down to the club to party and feed. Leo, a vampire from her past appears and she brings him home to play with Brett and her. Brett is surprised that he likes what the three of them do together. The next morning Leo isn't sure how Brett will feel but the surprise ending made this a perfect short story. On the Edge may be short but it is packed with emotion and lots of hot vampire sex. + +3632 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is an autobiographic look at the war experience of a lieutenant of paratroopers serving in World War II in the famed 82d Airborne Division. In this book, author James Megellas (a/k/a "Maggie") tells us the story of intense and almost continuous combat beginning in North Africa, continuing in Italy, and finally D-Day and the invasion of Western Europe. The author explains that his "MOS" (Military Occupational Specialty) was simply to "Kill Germans" and that this was the real, if unofficial, job description of himself and his men. The author makes no bones about the merciless nature of the war. Prisoners were sometimes shot by both sides, and to say that there were hard feelings is an understatement. This was a rough war against a competent enemy who inflicted terrible casualties on allied soldiers, who in turn gave even better than they got. + +Armchair Interviews says: Angela Benson, Associate Professor of Educational Technology at the University of Alabama is considered on the brightest voices in Christian fiction. + FORBIDDEN TOUCH concludes the trilogy featuring the three sisters with various psychic powers. And wow, did Paula Graves end this series with a bang! The intrigue level is high in this one as the various players all have their own agendas. Paula Graves has quite a few surprises in store for the reader in FORBIDDEN TOUCH. +577 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I use my Kindle to read the Journal when traveling. Sure beats trying spending my time trying to find someplace that sells it. I often travel places where it can't be found at all, like Mexico and even rural US, so the Kindle solves that problem. Not comparable to holding the physical paper in my hands, but sure better than not getting it at all. +274 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Yes, it is true. In 1956 Ho Chi Minh committed brutal mass-murder on his own North Vietnamese in a land reform. Ideas like this were encouraged by Karl Marx in this book he wrote with Engels.. The book that (ultimately) led to Ho Chi Minh committing brutal acts on his won people in "peace time". +This collection displays the range and depth of Austen's writing skill beautifully; though each story is very unique they're laced together by common themes. Her main novels are all love stories, tempered with some clever commentary on the society of Austen's day (example: entailment), and a biting, sharp-edged wit. But we also see her more openly comedic side ("Love and Freindship," a parody she wrote early on). + + +I found it odd that a very few chapters were thrown in that told the story from different viewpoints. It seemed like the entire book should have been from Johnny's point of view or have had more chapters told from various viewpoints. Those few chapters threw the book off course for short periods. +4851 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thoroughly enjoyed Shoe Addicts Annonymous but found Secrets of a shoes addict much more funny! I laughed outloud several times during this book! I found myself relating with all of the different characters and what they were going though. I myslef am going through a seperation right now (as is one of the main characters) and this book gave me a great distraction and something to laugh about! I recommend this to anyone, even if you haven't already read Shoe Addicts Annonymous first (although read that one too!). +I highly recommend. +LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! From start to finish I was fascinated with all the characters in this story as well as the story itself! This author had my heart churning and emotions running wild. Lilly was an interesting character. She had such a big heart and although she was a strong woman, she struggled with feelings of inferiority. Never wanting to hurt anyone's feelings she holds a lot inside. Case is a wonderful hero. Strong, tender, protective. Always knows what to do. His playful ways draw you in. I loved how the author handled the situation in this story of a believer falling for an unbeliever. There is no preaching here but a quiet faith that gets the message across. The romantic tension in this story had so much electricity that I could practically read it without the light on. I loved ALL the interaction between Lilly and Case. I also loved Case's family. You meet his brothers Zane and Jude and his sister Haven. They are all strong and funny and you warm to them instantly. You also meet Case's parents, Grace and Preston. Grace is a wonderful woman who keeps everyone in line. This is Book 1 in the Twisted Roots series. The next book out will be Zane's story and I am really looking forward to that! Great job Carie. I highly recommend this story. It's one I will definitely read again and again. +Storyline/Plot: 4 stars + + +8288 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is great reading I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves to read books in their spare time. +9440 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Amsterdam 2012 +I really loved this book, enough to make me very interested in looking out for more of Diaz's work. It was a wonderfully written novel, filled with interesting characters and a funny, tragic, action-filled plot that has some in it that would grab any reader and teach them something, too, inadvertently or not. I don't know that I would have even thought about looking into the history of the Dominican Republic if I hadn't picked up this novel. I'd recommend it to just about anyone. +4393 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this story. The sex was HOT. This trio made a lovely mnage. I look forward to more. It would be great to have the entire series in one collection. +2848 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I want to see more from this author. Intellegant, descriptive, wonderful historical story.. Looking forward to more from Tan Twan Eng. + +Ms. Feehan, I love your work, but please bring back more of the heart of the story - the characters, the teamwork, and making us care about what is going on, and making us mad at the bad guys and want to HELP the Ghostwalkers. +I would recommend it to classic mystery readers, recommend against it for those who want real action and a feel of violence. Those who have not established a commitment will have to judge for themselves how a rather slow moving story would appeal to them. + +This book in particular kept me guessing and kept me on my toes. It was that delicious combination of sexiness, humor, mystery, and paranormal that lands right on my ultimate sweet spot. I am ignoring all of my books on my to-read shelf to plow through this series. This book was a bit meatier than the one before it and I have ridiculously high hopes for the next in the series. +The story begins in 1856 and jobs for women are sparse and hard-to-find. After the death of her overbearing and drunk husband, Eli Barton, Jessica knows she must take her three children and run. Eli's mother is wealthy and wants to give a home to the 3 girls - without their mother. + + +I personally found it so dull that it was difficult to keep reading . . . the characters and plot were just so predictable. It didn't even seem as if the author was very invested in this story. +4934 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Shifter romance. Great book. Very entertaining with good humour, strong plot and characters. Lays a great foundation for the rest of the series. Worth reading and having a good laugh while enjoying the interaction between characters. +The story IS sad but it is also uplifting so don't be put off by the blurb. The characters are well defined and the story is well paced so one is never "bogged down" at any time. + + + + +The Dark Farewell is a mystery, but not; is a ghost story, but not; is a romance but not really. It will draw you in and keep you reading from page one to the end. +9621 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The book had so many events happening it was confusing. The abusive husband in the beginning. And the tart Fiona appearing in the mix. Then the dysfunctional family including a wacko mom, a cross dresser son and let's not forget the cowboy. It was easy enjoyable reading. + +1517 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed tihs origin story for the Lazarus - Decker relationship. I have read many of the subsequent Lazarus - Decker books but never before found the one that started it all. It does not disappoint. +I thank Ann Hood for this book and I think of her often. I know someday in the future she and Grace will read it together in Heaven. + +Fated was about communication and working through problems. The mating of Shane and Megan took them by surprise but they refused to give up on their mating and each other. Just the way a loving relationship should be. Mark Fated in the winner's column! I loved it! + + + + + +Stevic!! He came in with a bang. He is a strong character and his love for his daughter is beyond realistic. He reminds me of Liam Neeson in Taken, but without all of that ass-kicking. He does go on a crazy each for her though. In the end, he doesn't save her, but she does save him. So, maybe not like Liam, after all. Still. I love his character. + + +4068 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What a great adventure! The story line was awesome and this became one of those books that I could not wait to see what happened next at the same time not sure I wanted it to end! If you can get engrossed in what you are reading, put yourself in the world being described. Enjoy! +In northern Alabama forests, cut off by a collapsed bridge and rivers swollen by the torrential rains, there will be a battle between the clan of longclaws and two families, the Masons, from a long line that watched the mounds for just such an event, and an old Indian woman and her granddaughter. + +6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State. So the government gets to pick what you hear and see. Look no further than an out of control FCC that is comping at the bit to regulate AKA sensor the internet. +6347 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I hate to re rate this book because I couldn't read it. There were the same page back to back and others that seemed to be missing. I think it necessitating help. +Most readers wouldn't continue reading this book from chapter 3, it was hard to absorb, not because the book itself was bad, but because the story was realistic, it could happen to anyone. +6833 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 From the very start this book grabs your attention and refuses to let go. +It took only two days to read, and I have already gained so much from it! The Feldhahns break down the female gender into eight easy to read chapters with very easy to understand lessons. Not only do I feel like I better understand my wife, but I also better understand my sister and my female co-workers too! +6134 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I simply could not put this book down once I started reading it. +I'm not sure if I love Onyx as a random, unknowable character, or if I am dying to know more about her. I think that means you've developed her character perfectly throughout different books. +6232 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I didn't take the time to "decode" the hints that are included - I just enjoyed the unfolding story line. I was fascinated by the Chartres information and will read more on that. But the story stands by itself - I loved it! +I enjoyed the book, the travel and tourism....a little adventure before the big wedding. + +There are characters whose passing in battle made me shed a tear. Thater had made them so real to me that I felt real sadness at their fate. +The goal Dave Ramsey wants to help you reach is that pinnacle experience of being really, really wealthy -- so you can spend your time Purchasing, Investing, and Giving. "If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else." Live frugally now so you can whoop it up later. Linking that philosophy to scripture is a mistake -- a mistake that many Christian denominations are diving into when they offer Ramsey's... oops, I mean !Dave's!... "Financial Peace" interventions. + +In the constant fight between good and evil, The Gateway takes you into one both mystical and bloody. Be prepared, ye readers, lest you be attacked by one of the creatures coming through to Midgaard... Thater writes with a realism like no other; fantasy lovers of sword and sorcery--check out this short first battle and be ready for the entire saga awaiting you! +1312 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A family curse, a tropical island, a love-stricken underdog, a kind and beautiful woman with a torrid past: it sounds like the setup for a typical romance novel. But while Junot Diaz's long-awaited THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO is romantic in its own way, this book is anything but typical. +Mark has made a descending parabola from the first books in which he appeared. He is still handsome and loved, but he starts to feel the weight of his age. First he had to prove himself having first a threesome and than a foursome with his partner and two very young actor (Acting 2). The he had to be sure of Jack's undying love for him, and to do so, he involved Jack and his partner Adam in another foursome with Steve (Action 3). Actually, this last experiment, other than confirming him that he has a lot of men loving him, served to Mark to convince him that he is still desirable, same reason why he started to modelling at the age of 38. After a youth and young age spent trying to force himself to love women, Mark now seems to not have boundaries, he is becoming all gay, and a bottom, arriving to refuse to top in bed. He has still big issue of self-esteem, and sex is the only way for him to bond people to him. It's not a chance that everytime he fights with Steve, he then enticed him to bed parading himself all naked in front of his lover. +1603 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is another great historical by Julie Garwood! It has fun, adventure, and quick witted lead characters. An all around great novel. + + +But that has all changed. In recent years, Freeman's works began appearing in trade pb editions on amazon. They were a good deal at around $6.00 apiece. So, shaking the dust from my hair, I bought a bunch of them. I should have waited till I got a kindle last Christmas. + + +So, for anyone who is thinking about reading this series, which shows excellent promise, don't be cheap. Cough up the extra couple of bucks and buy "Alpha and Omega" and "Cry Wolf" together. Treat them as one read. There are two ways to get your hands on this story: 1) Buy "On the Prowl," an anthology in which Brigg's story is just one of many, or 2) buy it as an E-book download, which is how I did it. +9733 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This series was fast paced and kept one interested in what is coming next. The characters are well rounded and fleshed out +The book was too short and didn't give enough detail about the characters and the ending was way too pat, like she just wrapped it up quickly because she was out of things to say. +7534 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 We already owned this book. My spouse forgot that it was already part of our library of books. It is unfortunate that Amazon did not have a safeguard in place to notify that this book was already in our library. +1139 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 With an abusive ex-husband stalking her relentlessly, Aislinn has had to keep moving in order to stay out of his clutches. She never stays in one town more than one month, remaining as unattached as possible so that leaving is easier to bear. But when she takes a job at Turner Industries, staying isolated proves impossible as she finds herself irresistibly drawn to her employer, Kyle Turner III. Still, she avoids becoming involved with him past their working relationship - that is, until her clairvoyant abilities show her a fatal vision involving Kyle! +6567 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Love love loved this one. I used to live in Palm Springs and the book brought back so many great memories. The author even mentioned the street I used to live on. A fun read, I will be looking for more titles from this author. + + + +To tell his story, Baker uses a large cast of interesting characters. Each character has a unique point of view. +That much of the "French" that's invaded English is decidedly faux. For example, go to a shop in Paris and ask for a "brassierre" and what you'll get is a baby's undershirt. +2650 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another example of one of the P&P variation greats writing just another wonderful story. Emotions always run so very deep and are felt by the reader intensely in this author's writings and it is always a little disappointing to read something by someone else after. +1513 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 How I missed this fine Faye Kellerman book, I don't know. I have been a fan of the series for a long time. +6246 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 this was a series of books that described a period of unrest by several adversaries some allies at times but out for power, only a young girl stood against them. however the underlying goodness kept showing up. +7430 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have read a few of Tymber's books when I am in the mood for some steamy love scenes, but I have to say this is my favorite book that I have read by her yet. I am partial to sci-fi/ futuristic romance so this book obviously was right up my alley, but the premise of this book was slightly different in a good way. The love scenes, of course, are very HOT, but honestly I knew they would be from other things I read of Tymber's. The most surprising part of the book was how well written the book was. The characters were very well thought out, the interactions were fantastic and I didn't see the twist coming in the story at all. I HIGHLY recommend this book! +3085 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 After my first class in Euro History, I had to check this out. This is where "An eye for an eye" comes from. Interesting. + +90 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book shows what a charmer that Frank Abagnale is. +Again, give it a chance...unless you're scared of being the master of your own destiny. In that case keep your head in the sand and follow the dogma that you grew up on. It's gotten you this far. If that's that case my questions is, why are you reading a book like this anyway. You didn't actually believe there was a science to this stuff, did you? +5202 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great book. We have paid off all our bills except our mortgage by following these steps. + +4036 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great as all ways + + +9164 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It is wonderful for quick referencing. I use it during Bible study and when I'm teaching or counseling. Get it/. + +1318 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Wow. I thought this was mind-bending and exciting, hard to wrap one's head around, but worth every moment of trying. Well done. +Nonetheless, I believe that the author is a greatly gifted writer, and I learned much about World War II in Malaya. +5497 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Really love this book! It has a lot of good information with input from professionals in the field of bariatric surgery and nutrition. Great recipes, too, especially the hot chocolate...yum! +7275 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Absolutely loved this book. I love how Adrienne tried to play that she really didn't like Trevor, when in fact she was in love with him.. Its the kind of book where you can read again and again.. +332 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Interesting read...Item arrived in good condition. +181 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Just spent a few days, pretty much non-stop, re-reading this series, because I had remembered it was so good, and I was not disappointed. Each one of the five volumes could stand alone, but each built on the prior volumes and sustained and increased the force and momentum of the story. Good character development and interesting, realistically portrayed characters that you could relate to and be interested in, well-thought out, exciting plot, enjoyable writing style and an easy read; the right balance between believable technology, inter-personal relationships, and adventure. All in all, this series is a very exciting and satisfying read that makes you wish for more books about the adventures of Kylara Vatta. +4918 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoy Dana Marie Bell's work, and this book is a decent introduction to an engaging series. The 'wallflower' theme works, as it is not overwrought or overdone. Their is a good dose of humor to go with the story. + + +Reviewed by Kanika A.

Now, years later, she discovers those tales are shockingly real.

One single night sends Hayden and Josh on a course of action, filled with bitterness and regret, despair and love. Will one ever be able to look the other in the eye and beg forgiveness? + +3241 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a superb story. Hooked in in an kept me till the last page. I was really surprised!!! The characters are so strong and the mystery was great. I recommend for all to read. I usually read urban fantasy, fantasy knights and gools. But this was a wonderful book and a great mystery!!!! +8018 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book had a good story and character development. It started with hot and steamy dreams shared by Sevan and Lorelei, but the dialogue was a little too much when they first meet in person. Once we understood conflict between Stegian and Lorelei and her connection with Christian things picked up quickly. I also loved the interaction between Jordan and Nina and looked forward to their story as well as Christian's. And their could even be a story on Jacquelyn--she was a real surprise! While not a favorite, this book grabbed me enough that I'll buy any follow-on stories. +8787 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This holiday novella is a total and complete delight, a tender m/m romance with also a tense little mystery underneath. Lanyon here tells the story of James, an antique book hunter who is on a mission to gauge the validity of a newly discovered novel by Charles Dickens. The owner of the book is a professor from England, strikingly handsome but unfortunately cold and aloof, and he seems to take a fast dislike to James. All seems lost on this mission, and James is settling into the gloomy thoughts of losing his book commission and celebrating a very impoverished Christmas, but surprising things happen to keep pushing them together, and James finds himself discovering far more than a new classic holiday story. + + + + +The events were implausible to the point of ridiculousness. + +Charles and Anna meet under difficult circumstances. Charles is an alpha male...strong and protective. Anna is wounded emotionally and has been taught to fear alphas...yet her spirit is not broken. Together they sort out her pack's wrongness and become enamored with each other. I love a story that meets out justice and has a good romance. This story does it all. +236 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 After reading My Nest Isn't Empty, I Just Have More Closet Space as a book club selection, I wanted to read more of Scottoline's books. They all looked intriguing, but I decided to download this one to my Kindle and started reading right away. I became so engrossed in the story that I began listening to it while driving (wish more Kindle books had the text to speech option!), and I soon found myself taking the long way home just to see what happened next. Would Bennie be killed by the young cop? Was Alice really her twin? Did Alice actually kill Valencia? What exactly was wrong with her mother, and what was the secret she was hiding? Along with the suspense were stories of love and "rightness" such as the scenes of Mary and her family. Then too, there were scenes of harshness, avarice, and pure meanness. +5094 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 When I graduated from High School in 1970 my teachers presented me with this book. I was not a scholar, athlete, student council president or leader of the glee club. I was editor of the school newspaper, manager of the student store and generally the guy to call on when something needed to be done; be it hang crepe paper for the dance or stop a student fight. +5869 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I'D ALREADY READ ALL OF JANE AUSTEN'S BOOKS AND IT WAS VERY HANDY TO HAVE THEM ALL AT HAND ON MY COMPUTER - NO BOOK TO CARRY AROUND - I RECOMMEND THIS CLASSIC AUTHOR TO YOUNG AND OLDER WOMEN WHO NEED TO GET BACK DOWN TO BASICS IN HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. +6856 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This novel was so emotionally moving my heart literally ached. I loved medieval stories that are well told. And this one has a fantasy twist that makes it that much more fun. Reading about knights and castles are always enjoyable novels for me. Bottom line...Woman of Honor is a well-told, emotionally gripping story. I was literally swept away into the battle scenes, the romance, the fierce loyalty and honor even if it went against matters of the heart. I nearly cried several times while reading this story and was so engrossed a bomb could have gone off outside and I would've kept reading. I am eagerly anticipating the next book in the series. And anyone who has a computer can read this book. While it may not be a print book yet and can only be read in e-book format, it's well worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. My heart is still pounding. And don't let that sweet rating fool you. There was some serious passion in this novel, but if you were to compare it to most romances I guess it was sweet since the characters honored each other's purity. But it still sizzled. And talk about an ending that leaves you begging for more. Sheesh! But it was more than satisfying. I'm just glad that April is only a few months away. +Unable to go on after her loss, Mary was urged by her mother to join a knitting circle in Providence. The idea seemed absurd to her since she didn't even know how to knit, but she decided to go, unsure of what to do next once she was there. Welcomed by Alice, Harriet, Scarlett, Lulu, Beth and Ellen, she quickly found a spot for herself trying to live her day one moment and one knot at a time. The therapeutic qualities of focusing on knitting those tiny little knots relived her mind and heard for her devastating loss. Instead of slowly losing herself in the inky depths of the black hole her heart felt she found purpose in knitting and talking to the women. Each one as it turned out had her own dramatic tale, reminding Mary that people are more similar than different. As she cracked her hard shell exterior to these women their tales of sorrow made her heart come to life, she felt the need to be there for them even if her own life was slowly unraveling, her work being difficult to do, her hair and clothes no longer important, her husband coming home later and later... + +A Great self discovery book for every person that is in search for the meaning of life and why you exist. + + +Briggs is a new-to-me author, and I was immediately drawn into her world. Anna is a survivor, and you cannot help but feel for what she has gone through. Her strength has enabled her to adapt and to survive against the odds, especially since she has been given so little information about werewolf customs and history. Most of what she has been told has been inaccurate. And who wouldn't fall for Charles? He is fiercely protective of Anna, which I love! He is a little bit thrown by his feelings for Anna, and he grapples with these new emotions. I love Anna's cheekiness and how she likes to show Charles a little defiance, which sounds like something that he is not used to!! I wouldn't expect her to have so much sass, not after all the abuse she has suffered, so it is a credit to her character. It was nice to see their relationship develop, but it also frustrated me because they frequently failed to read each other correctly which created a lot of angst! +About the book: Is fast paced but it has parts where it goes out of reality. That doesn't mean is a bad book but the best of this "trilogy" was the second book, which I read first. "Fatal Secrets" +For nine years of full moons, the sisters have gone dancing in the Other Kingdom. +The Kidnap Murder Case - 1936 +4539 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Loved it! Wonderful fairy tale type story about a young woman and her sisters, a magical portal that takes them to a fairy forest, a controlling cousin who wants to take over their lives and destroy the forest, and a telepathic frog. + +2152 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 this was better then the first book and that is a rare thing, also this book delt with difficult issues and i felt the charictors and story were succesfully written which is a diffulct feet. the story kept me going, i loved the whole thing and want lots more in this series comming. +6583 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love the concept of this book. The idea of people grouping together to survive has always held my interest. However, there were a few places that need to be fixed. I was a little turned of by the fact the teens and adults seemed to pair up, exclusively. Every adult was paired with a teen, and I can't remember any paired with other adults. Why didn't the handyman and the farm lady get together? Nope, both got with teens. Another thing is the fact that all the things and people they needed seemed to crop up just when they needed it. They needed to build, oh, look, a handyman. Someone is hurt, here's the doctor. Everything is in order, we should build a democracy, oh, and here's the army to help. This book is what I would class as fantasy survival, because they don't really have to survive much. They seem to have everything they need, even solar panels and seeds to grow food. I did like the ending, but I hated the fact that Mike let his leadership go after he made all the decisions that kept everyone from killing each other. + + + +SPOILERS... +Sara & Wyatt spent a week together in the past, at which point Sara skipped out & they haven't seen each other since. This story starts with Wyatt finding her a year later & only covers a little over a 24 hour period. While we weren't there for their initial "getting to know each other", the author did a good job of bringing the reader up to speed & establishing the connection that was still there. Is it realistic for two people to care deeply & possibly be in love after only a short week in the past? Of course not, but if I'm reading a vampire novel, honestly, I'm not looking for or expecting reality. The ending wasn't a happy "ever after", but a happy for now & lets see where this leads us. + + + +Take away the adults. Better yet, eliminate the known world. A whole camp of children forced to survive on their own. +Cannot recommend this one. +If this were the first Garwood book I'd ever read, I'd've simply dismissed it as a generic piece of romance fluff and I would not have bothered to look the author up again. But I know what this author is capable of and I am severely disappointed because I know she can write better than this. +Jgtimm +4235 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It is probably a bit sad to admit that I did not read any stories by about Winnie-the-Pooh until I was in my late 30's. By the time I was a child they were already animated, so I am still very familiar with the 100 Acre Woods and Christopher Robin. I knew the lore about how A.A. Milne wrote these stories for his son. Yet, I had never read any of the books. +Death Without Company (2006) +2328 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Muddled. The idea of developing multiple plotlines in parallel has been attempted by some serious authors many times but this go around misses the mark. It takes way too long to establish what the various sects are up to and the reveal is underwhelming. +1873 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Well, following other reviewers on Amazon who have proven the thoughtful equals of Banville's own intelligent fiction makes my own comments rather anti-climactic. I'm glad I hadn't read the summary or the comments before I opened Shroud--warning: major plot spoilers abound! Suffice it to say that David Lehman's "Signs of the Times" on the late 1980s Paul deMan revelations, while not receiving explicit credit in the author's notes, can shed light on the inspiration for Banville, much as the Blount spy episode does for The Untouchable, which pairs neatly with this novel as two portraits of unlikeable but captivating men that Banville sketches not with a righteous incrimination but a humanist compassion as he seems to report rather than construct their tales. No other comments have appeared on the triptych-like structure of the novel, so about this I will add a few words. + + + +6495 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 These are quick reads.

Very good read. +9672 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the third book written by L.J Martin that I have purchased and once again I was blow away by his writing skills!! Mr Martin does an amazing job developing the characters of his books and developing the plot. So much so, I have decided not to start reading his books unless I have several hours before I need to go to bed because I truly have difficulty stopping once I've started reading his books. Windfall was no different! Exciting business plot with lots of twists and turns. You will love it!! +6155 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Green Rider. It was amazing. i loved it. it would not let me put it down. I have read three so far. +Fourth suggestion: Don"t make the U.S. Military the villain when you are writing about a 2000 year old Mayan myth; after all, regardless of how much you apparently dislike our Military...it's a shame you feel the need to demonize them and use them as a scapegoat (no "goat" joke intended) for something as unimportant as this book. +Listening Is the Solution - Why women sometimes just need to talk it out...excellent + +6523 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Don't buy, even for free until this book is edited. Grammar is terrible and the book is way too wordy. It would be a good story with a different writer/editor. + +9208 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I'm reading it now. Don't know why I waited so long to read. good read. That's all I have to say. +Characters: 5 - I think the characters in this volume, which are the same characters in P&P are similar to their counterparts. There is some growth in Georgiana, which is the only character I feel is shown in a new and more evolved light. Although, I believe there might be more in regards to her and possibly Kitty - questionably the other Bennet sisters as well - in the second volume, so that is something to look forward to. +The two stories run parallel as little by little, it's discovered what transpired five years earlier, why Josh has avoided Hayden, and how deeply their relationship really is. + +1031 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love Heather's books. I think I have all of them. Always a good story with excellent writing that makes the characters and mystery come alive and part of your life. Always a hard time putting these books down. I do wish she'd leave out the sex. I skip 3 to 4 pages at a time to avoid since I don't agree that every story has to have gratuitous sex scenes to sell a book. But, the storylines and characters are always wonderful. + +Standing Bear claims the beautiful woman he sees but now he most deal with the consequences of his choice.

He does not know it is what she wants. She does not know he has something more terrifying than death in mind for her. + +Soames and Irene are really at the center of this book -- she remote, quiet and something of a mystery even to the readers, and he a selfish, close-minded man who wants to "own" people. Their children are far more endearing -- Fleur is passionate and vivacious, and Jon is sensitive and sweet. But there's a vast cast of interesting characters in the Forsyte family, especially melancholy Young Jolyon and his artistic daughter June. +There was so much going on the 1960's and sometimes we tend to forget about the people who forged ahead and were willing to put their lives out there to help make things better for all. + +6591 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is geared toward a teenage audience, but as an adult, I really enjoyed it. The story takes you through the journey of a group of kids at a camp in the mountains who are cut off from the rest of the world by a deadly fog. They create their own society with their own leadership and laws. They have to deal with weather, providing food, fighting off boredom, protecting themselves from dangerous people in the area and many other challenges. It is about team work, making difficult choices and focusing on the future. + +7266 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I found the contents to be very easily accessible. One can elect and go directly to a desired title (from among the 7 novels provided) and any or all chapters within it. My only disappointment was the omission of "Scenes of Clerical Life." Yes, I know its absence is justified in it not technically being a novel, but this short work would turn this ebook into a fuller, and therefore more appealing, collection of her most noted works. Nevertheless, for a mere dollar, this is a convenient bundle, and the aforementioned title is easily obtainable individually (as are all these novels, for that matter) as a public domain freebie. + + + +3422 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My coworker suggested this book to me. We work for psychiatric facilities and she had recently read it. I was completely engulfed in it and couldn't put it down. I was fascinated by her experiences and was amazed at the stories she told.

Allie used to go church but her husband wants nothing to do with church. + + +8059 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Hot!!! Loved it!!! +I think this book is best suited to someone who prefers a challenging book, because that's how I found it. + +*Spoiler Alert* Even though many reviewers did not understand the ending (and so assumed it was NOT happily ever after), it HAD to be a happy ending, for this reason: The entire story was told in the first person, from Dardanus' point of view. Therefore, even though it ends with his belief that he will die in the morning (as a result of his actions), he is alive and telling the story, so the queen MUST have forgiven him. +J.L. Langley has become an auto-buy for me. + +Good Read +Only negative is that follow up book was not released until about 1 year later. That's kind of disappointing. Looking forward to reading about the next brother and his adventures (book is released) but hope 3rd in series doesn't take another year. +1378 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 In yet another uplifting work by author Barbara Johnson, we are led page by page through so many of lies challenges, and through her words we are taught to look circumstances in the eye and chose to be happy. +Where most kids relate to Peter Pan, my favorite character was always Cap't Hook; scourge of the high seas. +1078 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Subscribing to this was a HUGE mistake. I thought it would help me take advantage of my amazon.com account. I was wrong. It just talked about clothes and some kind of fashion that I couldn't care less about. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE, YOUR LIFE WILL END IF YOU DO... + +The main difficulty comes in applying what you learn here. As the author acknowledges, sometimes it's hard to assess whether it's really your intuition talking to you, or whether it's your own desires or fears you're hearing in your head. Also, she notes you should use intuition, logic and common sense to make your best choices, but in some instances the 3 don't agree, making your decision more difficult. +4003 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is a foundational book for those who are interested in the modern self help, manifest your desires, movement. Written about 1910, about a year before he died, Wallace Wattles sums up all he has learned about the methods of obtaining wealth. About the age of thirty, struggling to feed his family, Wallace seeks to find the answer of why some people are poor and others are not. The book shares his findings. This was the book that the DVD "The Secret" was based on. The basic principles given by Wattles are very similar to present day prosperity writers. The book is short and easy to read. Other good books on the topic are "Law of Attraction" and "Ask and It is given" by Esther Hicks and "The Greatest Secret" (Internet book) by Darell Daybre +However, there are some weak points present in Jacobsen's work. Few scriptures are provided to back up his points, and single verses at times serve as the foundation for suppositions that are widely divergent from those held by the majority of the body of Christ. For instance, he posits that believers no longer need to fear God, but a brief survey of the word `fear' as used throughout the New Testament would display that the matter of fearing God is not as one-sided as presented here. Scripture speaks to the fear of God in a believer's life, as well as fear not being present in perfect love. All instances of the term `fear' need to be taken into account to form a balanced view of God's thoughts on the matter. Jacobsen's beliefs regarding sin should also be closely compared with scripture; it seems that they may ultimately lead to the doctrine of complete sanctification within this life when followed to their logical conclusion. Readers will need to proceed with discernment, eating the meat and spitting out the bones. + +Both were of professional quality. + +Well, one thing for sure: if he does succeed in "getting out alive", all Hell will definitely break loose and he'll have made Hades, the Lord of the Dead himself, into an immortal enemy. Oh yes, and the Fates, the three crones who measure out the destiny of every living being, are just waiting for him to make a misstep since their previous confrontation so they can fall on him like the proverbial ton of bricks. Although, they'll leave the "coming down on" to the Furies, the three sisters Tisiphone, Alecto and Megaera, female personifications of vengeance who make harpies seem like nice, friendly Tweety-birds. + +Dover Down was asked to come into Banff because of the overwhelming unrest between the owls and the leopards and residents. The unrest was getting worse and worse, the reason unknown to the leopard hunter who called Dover in. Known to be an honorable male, Dover could be depended on to come in, observe the problem and fix it so that peace would be the result. When Dover was asked to bring a leopard friend to stay with the hunter and his mate, he never thought twice about agreeing. +Has most content from the regular paper. + +815 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book was recommended to me by my nutritionist. I have been searching for a sensible diet for pre-diabetes. South Beach does not cut it for me for a lot of reasons. The text is straight-forward without too much overwhelming science. Some books take up more than half the book with needless detail science, when some down-to-earth explanations will do. +Vivian +I would say it's a tale of survival, but at the same time it's not. It's not the perfect story of being able to overcome a situation, but the ending is satisfactory to my standards. This was really eye-opening and kind of scary. It seems like one of those books that parents and adults would not want their kids reading because it's SO true and parents want to protect their kids at all costs. However, I would say that this could be used as a learning tool between parents and kids to show that kids should never talk to strangers and should stay together as a group. Really good book, and definitely pretty dark. I'm going to need a light read after this to brighten my reading mood because this got me pretty down. +4230 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What a joy to read, even alone as an adult. The drawings throughout the book by Ernest H. Shepard are wonderful. Make sure to follow this one up with House at Pooh Corner. + +7224 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Very good short read. He has all your key elements: eroticism, mystery, definitely a page turner. The story line is excellent. +END SPOILERS... + +Definitely worth reading the other Ghostwalker stories first, however, otherwise I don't think you'll appreciate this story as much. +1411 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The ending was a slight disappointment to me, but the rest of the book made me wish amazon had an 11 star scale, because Sue Monk Kidd knows poignant writing. Her words seriously challenge the adage that we are all destined to be alone, trapped inside our individual, unbreachable, human shells. Kidd's writing has a way of crossing the psychological barrier. +MAIL ORDER BRIDE FOR TWO made me blush more than once. The men, Logan and Derek, are sin personified and totally dreamy. Their treatment of Clarissa was tender, yet forceful. They knew they wanted her - they knew she wanted them. The rest fell into place quite nicely. +2460 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great bundled price. I love it on my kindle and the books don't clutter up my house. Also, no one has to see those embarrassing covers. +1990 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Just as exciting as last time I read it. I also found out that I skipped a few pages in the book. + + + +9900 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Poor Iona has waited too long.

When you think of how many Regencies are written where the objective is ti marry the duke this is a pleasant change. You find yourself rooting for the second son,- The not quite as good match just for the novelty. The view into Bath as allowed to London society was fun and refreshing. Thanks. Definetly read. +For one thing, the book is interlarded throughout with Spanish words and phrases, resulting in exchanges like the following: +4955 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Not for the faint of heart! You have to chew your way through these! I found it most interesting to read narratives from those who actually lived during that time. Great history into how the 'colonials' came to want revolution so much. I have read many books, papers, etc. on George Washington, The Revolutionary War, Benjamin Franklin, etc., but I came away with a deeper understanding of what normal life was in the American colonies. Especially interesting was how the colonial areas were settled from 1500-on, and how the disputes with the English, French, Dutch, and native American tribes were all interwoven before the War of Independence. Very interesting information on charters and what part they played in the settlement of New England's colonies. + +6907 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A crime and a lenient penalty sets the scene for this ongoing story. The key to solving the plot is an antique sharps rifle and which one of the many owners of this weapon is guilty. The Wyoming geography makes this story harder to solve. Read and enjoy. + + +1316 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I got it With the image. I Am the force. Very scientific reading. + +4368 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this book. The story takes place in the modern world with "Pride and Prejudice" overtones. I liked the characters and enjoyed the way the author portrayed the relationship between Elizabeth and her sister Jane as well as the one between Elizabeth and Darcy. It's a different twist on the story that was delightful to read. +That intersection is first expressed in the chief character, born into a wealthy and powerful English family in Malaya of a Chinese mother and English father. In essence this book thus becomes a tale of the many conflicts between Western and Eastern values and philosophies, exemplified in part by his English father and Chinese grandfather. Western values are derived from the Old Testament order that man (not woman or other species) should control the Earth and resulted in European colonization and exploitation of much of the rest of the world. The Asian value system in this novel is expressed in the character of Endo, the Japanese sensei, who becomes the mentor and friend of this confused English-Chinese teenager, teaching him the martial arts, discipline and philosophy which will allow him to become a strong man. This value system honors both duty and compassion, a duality of sometimes conflicting elements. +Definitely recommend and will be looking for next one! +This is a real bargain at $5.99 a month. +221 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I started off reading this series with book 7 but liked it so much that I ended up buying the entire series. I really the stories and how Scottoline builds the characters over each book. Of course you don't have to read them in order and that is great too. +Circumstances have brought him to a point where he feels it necessary to provide an explanation to his son. This he will do via a journal that chronicles the years shared with Etna and the emotions brought on by them (sprinkled with a bit of hindsight commentary and other present-day notations). +Poison Study was Ms. Snyder's debut novel, and it was excellent! I borrowed the hard copy, and enjoyed it so much, I immediately bought the Bundle so I would have all the books, and all in the same place. I will be buying more of Ms. Snyder's books! + + + +7700 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What a great book !! I was sure surprised to come back and find there's like 30 of these books !! +There are love stories mixed in with war and battles. +It was a good, light read. +Levin also breaks his guise of the the reasonable viewer of history when he tries to establish the intents of the founding fathers, equating Jefferson's participation in prayer services at Congress as a direct negation of his over-used mention of the wall of separation. Clearly, Levin cannot see no possible correlation between the two, and thus the questioning of the validity of prayer in schools must be a moot argument. Just to make sure that his bias is clear, he throws in a little slippery scare tactic of suggesting a future where religious observance is also banned in the home. + +6045 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Great story of wanting, romance, sex. I would recommend this book to anyone to read. I can't wait to read another one. + +I would like to excuse all this by the fact that the author was born in Europe and so came to English as a second language. But the biography indicates that a lot of writing has been done since then, so one would assume that a better grasp of the English language would have taken place at some time. My husband came to this country at the age of 40 with six languages in his grasp, and, although he is not an author, his writing (when he does it) is absolutely correct. Hmm. Maybe I should hand him a few plots and see what he can do with them. It couldn't be worse than this book. +In the end, this book comes across as yet another argument of bias in what has clearly become a divisive popular culture--evidently, a book isn't commercially viable unless it has a line to hold, no matter which side. + +Four of these are Phillip Marlowe adventures, all written before the novels. Of these, "Goldfish" and "Trouble is My Business" truly stand out. However, there are three others: "Smart-Aleck Kill" with Johnny Dalmas, the notable "Guns at Cyrano's" with Ted Carmady, and "The King in Yellow" featuring hotel detective turned private eye Steve Grayce. Each of these three stories feature a very obvious antecedent to Phillip Marlowe. + + +5294 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One thing I like about Dave is that he is very practical and it shows in this book and in his radio show. I wish he would not endorse these "pie in the sky" career books as often as he does, but besides that it has nothing to do with what he has done in this book. I have listened to the audio version of this book (which I do not recommend) and am starting to read this book so I can comprehend more. Audio books are okay for those with long attention spans, but most of us need a real book. + +9951 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Didn't enjoy this story. It was just odd & didn't make much of any sense. I guess the author meant to do that, since it's a spin-off of 'Alice in Wonderland', but I really just didn't like this. + +2808 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed reading this book. This story was Interesting. I am looking forward to reading more books from this author. + +Won't give any revelations away -- and those may make it okay or even uplifting/romantic for angst-loving readers who embrace a self-effacing female lead who 'understands,' 'forgives' and keeps on giving head with an open heart -- but I just cannot get into it, given how much and how relentless he was in his anger at her up front and how limp she was generally. Trick (hero) dug himself into a pretty deep hole from my point of view and she made me want to scream "Wimp." +4118 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A fine Kindle addition to my Kindle library. Ideal to be able to take with you wherever you go. As the best book ever written or ever to be written, this is the one to have. +7317 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 First, let me say that I enjoyed this book and the angle that the author took. However, due to the way that it is written, I did not develop any kind of attachment to any of the main characters. This book is basically written as a narrative of events that happened, reminding me of a fictional history book. The book also gets very technical about its development of the space drive and weapons. Liked it, didn't love it. Will buy the next one to see what happens. +To also add complications to his life, he is a new werewolf who has little control over the sensations and transformations that come along with being one. The most disrupting of the traits is that Jake Romero is Remi's mate. Everybody has a mate, the one person in the world that complements that person in every possible way. Even though Remi is straight, being near Jake arouses him and overwhelms him with emotions that he not only has no control over, but which he doesn't understand. + + +Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed +3838 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 There are some books which I enjoy a lot as I read them. Later, however, when I put them down I find that I hardly remember what they had to say. + + + +So you see the author is not attempting to rewrite Pride and Prejudice or give it a sequel. Even if you are critical when it comes to fiction about Jane Austen or Pride and Prejudice, I think you will enjoy this book emensely. I will issue a warning that some of the language and the style are not like that of Jane Austen. I enjoyed how even though the two main characters met on a ship, certain events or converstations took place that also took place in Pride and Prejudice. For example, the discussion of an "accomplished lady," or Charles Bingley's letting of Netherfield Park. +But you know what? Overall, I did enjoy reading the book. I didn't hate it, I just didn't like it a lot. I sort of wish I hadn't even spent 99 cents on it, but it is what it is. There is definite sexual chemistry for all you smut lovers out there, but there isn't a ton of sex...this isn't Black Dagger Brotherhood, after all. But it's probably still up your alley. I did like the twist Sands puts on how the vampires came into existance in the first place. Either it's been so long since I read the other book that I had forgotten, or it isn't mentioned in that one at all. Either way, it was news to me, and pretty fascinating to boot. I like when an author mixes a bit of cultural legend with fiction. The writing was funny and engaging as well, and yes, it was meant to be a comedy, because it did get quite a few lulz out of me. But I can definitely tell there have been improvements between books 1 and 4. I might even still read the others....someday. + Give, have fun, invest +thecultureworm.blogspot.com +Enjoying the Show by Marie Harte is a fantastic book with lava-hot sex and characters who quickly realize that what they're feeling is a lot more than mere lust. Gage and Hailey are immensely likeable because both have trouble talking to the opposite sex and both have trouble with relationships. Their imperfections make readers really care about their budding relationship. I love that they feel like they're addicted to each other. Enjoying the Show is extremely well-written and believable, and readers will love seeing Hailey and Gage explore their feelings for each other. Gage is caring and sexy, Hailey is friendly and intelligent, and while neither is perfect (and who would want them to be?), they're dynamite together. Very highly recommended. + +965 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Great! +5264 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I bought this for my daughter who is spending way too much. She says that she is starting to utilize some of the information she has found in it. + +5683 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Although this continuing saga of the Ghost Walkers has some of Feehan's usual action, the plot is extremely convoluted and depressingly (as well as descriptively) gory. Perhaps if Feehan had devoted more pages to plot development rather than repetitious sex scenes, I would have given the book the 5 star rating I gave the other books in the Ghost Walker series. For some reason, Feehan has given Kadan Montague, whom I have always considered to be one of the "rocks" of the team, a weird obsessive compulsion to stake his claim on Tansy, regardless of the location or who is present. While the book is still an okay read, it definitely is not one of Feehan's best. +Sure, it might be a little slow in parts, but that's part of world building and character development and all that jazz. I'd give this book a look because I think if you like good fantasy you'll like this. +A New Science of Life: The Hypothesis of Morphic Resonance by Rupert Sheldrake +8177 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Plot/Storyline: 4 Stars + +1860 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Like many others, I've always been fascinated by the story of Eva Braun, but (maybe because I'm Jewish) was also afraid to really take a good look. It's part of a horrifying story for a Jew, but I was drawn to this book specifically because it purported to be a "fictionalized" version of a (probably mostly) true story. That kind of made it more neutral for me. What I didn't expect was to come away with some sympathy for Eva; the author revealed aspects of her life with Hitler that show her to be something of a victim and a prisoner herself. After all, once involved with this monster, she was not able to be free; she couldn't even leave her home alone, ever - she was always under guard. And the author also brings up the fact that Hitler wouldn't marry her publicly...she was always described as his "friend" or his "secretary." In that time, in Europe, it was something of a disgrace to be a mistress, with no hope of marrying the man who had ruined your reputation. So that Eva was placed in a humiliating position. In other words, this is as much a feminist novel as one about an evil society (which it also is; very, very subtly elaborated as the story unfolds). Another surprise was to find that I identified with Eva in some respects. For example, the author describes her as a "fashion addict," a shopaholic; all she ever thought about was what she would wear next. And Eva would often change her clothing several times a day. This vanity - this character defect of placing appearances above other values - is found among women everywhere, trained to use appearance to compete for men's attentions. Eva is depicted as shallow and uninterested in anything other than being Hitler's lap dog. This made her an object of scorn in the novel - but also a forgiveable, if weak, type of woman common to every culture. I found myself unable to put the book down, and I admired the writing, which was, as one reviewer said, perfectly "creepy" - as if the storyteller were whispering a horror tale. There are many insights about the times, the protagonists, including Hitler, Eva and Hitler's stooges. As another reviewer has mentioned, one thinks about this book long after putting it down. + + +I suppose it's because they live so far from civilization that they have to pull together, if they want to survive in that kind of wilderness. +8381 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Summary: Jacky Faber gets snatched up by British Intelligence on her wedding day and forced to dive for sunken treasure. Of course, she runs into a slew of pirate both good and evil as well as annoying Spanish officers. Trouble abounds. + +942 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 just as promised. +- Jacky Faber is a pretty cool character, despite rampant whining. She gets into a ton of trouble yet usually comes out on top. She'd the sort of heroine one enjoys hearing about but definitely wouldn't want to be. +835 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I so very much enjoy this series. The Sisterhood can get away with anything. They seek out revenge on behalf of those that have been SERIOUSLY wronged from others. It's almost a female vigilante group. It can be mental, physical or emotional payback. This was pretty hard core. Wouldn't everyone just once in their life want to get back to someone if they could. This is a way we can pretend to just do that. Wonderful book and so fun to read. It was also very emotional and powerful story regarding love and loss. + +I started this book right before bed thinking I would only read a few pages before falling asleep. I couldn't put it down and read it right through. This book was disturbing and yet extremely thought provoking. It was icky, but beautiful. Ultimately it was extremely well written and will invade your thoughts; and if you are like me and a parent, you will hug your kids and keep them close. + +***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** +(see first comment for available links to titles cited) + +Page 172-ESA & 529 college saving plans +Try the later trilogies -- they're much better. But in lieu of anything else to read, this is a good bet. +The romance between Eric and Lori was utterly charming and believable. I instantly connected with them and watching the slowly grow to love each other was a treat. Yes, they had only met but while it could have been instalove/lust it doesn't. Lori has the most to lose in the relationship since is coming off a very bad relationship with a co-worker and having to deal with all the stuff that comes with it. I loved the scenes when is confronted with dealing with the ex and his new love. LOL! + +5118 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Tall, Dark, And Texan by Jodi Thomas was released in 2008. A fine western romance set in Texas, it tells the tale of Jessie and Teagen, who meet and slowly fall in love. Mix in her lies for years, and her three little girls, and you get quite a story. Fans of Jodi Thomas will like this the most. +The only thing that bothered me was the assault. Only because it seemed kind of forced and out of the blue. I would have much rather had Will's secrets be revealed by him confiding them to Jenny in a different situation - including the fact that she was his first everything. I couldn't imagine that piece of information never coming out. It just seems too important to leave out of their story. +Editing/Formatting: 4 1/2 Stars +8048 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I wanted to like this book but I forced myself to read it because I have to know what happens. The wolves talking like humans made it sound cartoonish and confusing. I was sure at one point that he was on 4 legs when I read the next paragraph and found out he was on 2 legs. +9717 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have become a Josh Lanyon fan and always enjoy his books. This one set in 1922 is interesting for it's setting and dual subjects. A newspaper reporter goes to investigate a series of grisly murders and meets a clairvoyant in the rooming house he's staying in. The action and the romance build quickly and the mystery is sustained throughout. I just thought the whole thing came to an end too quickly. But then there is always another Lanyon book to pick up and continue reading , His subjects and settings are so varied, there is something new every month or so it seems. . +148 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed this story from beginning to end! It took the author a bit to finally develop more than one character, but she finally did- excellently! I don't cotton to the feminist idea that relegates men to useless idiots, but she restrained herself. The female captain was not a feminist gratuitous placement. She made the story! + +[...] + +Recommended to all those who want to shake their heads in wonder at teenaged audacity. +There is a lot going on and packed into this book between the several species of paranormals, differing levels of power ,backstories etc in this fantastical world the author has built. I felt the book could have been a bit longer as there is just so much good stuff to devour in this book. + +4408 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Read the original. I cannot believe the author had the nerve to reinvent character s created by the great Jane. The book is one long-range dreadful. +258 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Really Nice +What makes the paper 'interesting' is the editorial opinions.

She was completely thrown for a curve when she faced him knowing this was the man she was presenting a proposal to on behalf of Therber Management Services. She couldn't believe that he didn't even acknowledge meeting her before, and even told her he was pleased to meet her. This presentation was too important, so she put on her game face and went on. Alexa wasn't going to let him ruin this for her with his cruel games. +96 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Like I said in my previous review of this memoir, I re-read this book every 6t 8 months. It is such a fun book to read. I just finished another reading of it. There are a lot of things in the book I had forgotten. Mr. Abagnale raised enough havoc with the banking and police systems in the late 60's and early 70's to make Bernie Madof look like a teenager. And at the time Frank was a teen-ager. No wonder Pan-Am went out of business. Frank probably was one of the main reasons. +4-HIS LAST BOW +adjusted on an almost daily basis. +2062 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 definitely interesting for fans of roman times. + +Kit's world is so rich and wonderful. I loved the mythology behind it. The combination of vamps, wolves, and myth drew me in. His sense of duty just makes me love him more. The ending was awesome, but I can't give anything away. Ms. Alexander rocks. I love reading her stories and Twilight Guardian was no exception. +On the Kindle and Kindle DX, the book can be searched for a recipe by title; but there is no search on Kindle for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch or Windows or Macintosh. +Oscar is in many ways a modern Don Quixote who is troubled by having sexual desires as well as platonic ones. The humor is more subdued, but the parallels are striking. +9667 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 You've got to love expressions like - up to my ass in alligators!!! This story is set in the 80's (pre-cell phones). There are stories within stories, adding interesting insights into the characters and their motivations. Raunchy and romantic. I will be reading more from this author. +6651 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I read this book and it really gave me something to think about. The way God works in ours lives and we don't really know how much. +Author Lora Leigh unveils a unique story with her own version of sexy vampire lore in Knight Stalker. In this complex tale the humans are hosts to off world symbiots and it is these `others' who require blood, through their hosts. Cadan is an embattled hero both internally and externally, trying to always do the right thing. He wants to keep Bliss out of it all, but how do you walk away from the person who's the perfect partner? Bliss is frightened and thrilled by Cadan's attention. She's trying to be logical but running on emotions and a strong sexual pull. The whole symbiot/host thing is explained, yet I never felt like all the pieces of this unique storyline fit together perfectly. Knight Stalker is very sensuous, the characters are intriguing, however the plot itself isn't quite as smooth as one would hope. +4448 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed this variation very much Amnesia being a. Common device it seems. The last Austen retelling I read that used it Suzanne Elliott as the amnesiac +9867 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Although the author sometimes overwrites scenes, this is a fun mystery with an unlikely sidekick, a white turkey, who was originally supposed to be a smoked turkey breast, but, well things happen. + + +Who doesn't love Jane Austen? You're able to re-read your favourite classics whenever you desire and you get to introduce yourself to some of her lesser known works. + + +5395 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Loved it!!! They both saved each other and were good for each other, great love and sensual story. I don't like some of this author's novels but this one i absolutely did get into it first for the unusual male character (being disfigured post accident) but you quickly forget about his scars and root for him to be seen again and loved for the real handsome and generous man he is inside out not the facade of heartless business jerk he likes to portrait as a defense mechanism. + +5682 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've followed the GhostWalker series and enjoyed them immensely. IMHO, Murder Game is arguably the best in the series. The story is riveting and action-packed. Kaden is the ultimate Alpha male and Tansy is relentless and courageous. I won't give specifics about the plot except to say that Tansy is helping Kaden (and his team) find out whose murdering people and who's trying to destroy the GhostWalkers by blaming the murders on them. To say more would truly spoil the story and the journey taken by Kaden, Tansy and his team. We meet some of the GhostWalkers from previous books, and we are plunged right in the smack of the story, the adventure, the suspense. +5107 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have had dogs all of my grown life and just added another puppy to the mix. Wish I'd found this book years ago. It makes training your puppy to be a great companion a cinch! +Brief summary, no spoilers. +Bottom line: While the story will keep your attention, none of the characters are subtle enough to capture your emotions; they are stylized shadows which at times fail to elicit much response other than a shrug and a turn of the page. The literary style fails to recreate a feel for ancient times, rather it attributes modern day sensibilities to otherwise primordial savages. I don't know if I will read the second volume of this trilogy unless I could again listen to it while I engaged in something physically challenging. + + + +Anyway, this book had me take out the atlas, the dictionary, and use Google several times to see the trees and earthforms he describes. I think a geologist would particularly like this book, lots of rock talk. +188 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Being a Moon fan, I was delighted to see the start of another series. I found this to be a pleasant read, with wonderful character developement and Moon's strange ability to make even the mundane interesting. I love her details. I note that several reviewers were whinning about absolutely no sexual content. I actually found this to be rather refreshing for a change. Like Moon's Paks, the author spends time examining moral issues, ethics, etc. Her characters are simply human, with all that entails. This is nice. I am not a big "fiction space fan," prefering fantasy and history, but I did enjoy this one and am looking forward to the following books. Ms. Moon is one of our more gifted authors/story tellers. I still wish Paks would ride back into her mind, but until then, this story line will certainly do. Thank you Ms. Moon. + +3722 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 John A. Flanagan puts you right in the midst of the Mongol hoard as the battle axes swing their path to defend Skandia. Based loosely on historical fact the author no less succeeds in drawing you into battle. All subjects well defined, you feel their presence as you fight beside them for Skandia. +The path to Shane and Laura's HEA is not an easy one but if you are willing to ride the bumpy road with them, I hope you will find reading their story as emotional and special as I did. + + +3115 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a very helpful book for those who, like me, have tried about every diet possible and found them unsuccessful.

I have only used this for a few weeks but I have seen an immediate help in reducing cravings during the day. +Nellie +5179 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 She is a favorite author of mine. I've read a lot of her books. Never disappointed. I often fall in love with her heroes - where can I get one for myself? +6172 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The first about 3/4 of the book, while good, were not captivating. (As another reviewer pointed out, I kept thinking of M. Lackey's Heralds of Valdemar series.) Then all of a suddent the real action started and I couldn't put the book down. +1162 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Hard to find anything in it. Kindle order and it was there in seconds. +Who is "gathering" is not so much the family, but Veronica's memories. She is trying to gather her self, to see why her brother Liam died, and why he died the way he did. +4945 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This book started off interestingly enough, which is why I gave it 2 1/2 stars, but it quickly turned into just your below average romance novel. It never explained the correlation between Joe and the test dummy, or why these bizarre events took place. +4649 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 a heart warming read, you will laugh cry and want to knit all at that same time. i couldn't put it down! +Not sure if I'll finish or just start an new book. My impression is that publishers sometimes rush the writer with a deadline and thus the writer rushes instead of taking his or her time. Note to publishers, give the writer time and it will sell a lot more books. I know from reading other reviews that CC is a fantastic writer, so it must be that she was rushed with this book. Hope the future brings better books for CC. +1152 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent transaction. Item as described and fast shipping. Thank You. +8868 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I feel it's quite cheeky of me to post a low review on one of this author's books but I really disliked the story. The h, as many of the other reviewers have pointed out is a silly, plain, stammering and rash character of 17 years. The H is an Earl and man of the world at 35 years and I have utterly no idea why he agreed to marry her instead of her sister. I would have walked away from the mess. The h does nothing to redeem herself throughout the story and goes from one scrape to the next. It takes way too much of a leap of imagination to understand the H falling in love with her. On top of that the H has a mistress that he is still involved with for a good part of the book and I always hate that. My advice is to skip this one. +437 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love iris Johannes writing, +or she could love both equally. And the MEN, my sweet jesus, where they hot! And surprisingly emotional.

But he only has one chance of having a child and he isn't so sure about wasting his efforts on a woman who wants him to play stud. +3289 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is far more than a murder mystery, it is an educational treatise on life in an orthodox yeshiva. Great story, great learning experience. + + +Download this book. It's free, after all. If the premise and first few entries don't have you laughing (or at the very least, smiling), stop reading. Also, check your pulse. +1258 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I liked this book, though the sex and language got old and worn out - I knew this was a story about poverty because there was no hope of improvement, just a downward spiral. +4375 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 First I must say that I loved this book. Of course it is not written in the style of Jane Austen but it was written with the same outline as Pride and Prejudice. I fell in love with all the characters and enjoyed seeing the parallels with Pride and Prejudice and it made you really think that there is such a thing as a modern day Pride and Prejudice. +2797 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This story is very dark and disturbing. It is all about a 15 year old girl who had been kidnapped at age ten. Her view on life is permanently skewed. Although what happened was not the girl's fault, can the same be said of her present actions? This novel raises serious questions about the ability and responsibility of people who have become damaged through no fault of their own. The author's portrayal of this teen is too on target for comfort. It haunts me still. It is a hard book to finish despite the large print and short chapters. + + +"Hunter's Choice" was originally published in the "Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance." I'm thrilled many of these types of short stories are offered as single ebooks. It's a perfect way to become addicted to a new series. +On the Edge kept me on the edge that is for sure. Delightfully erotic, I found Brett's attraction to Leo just downright arousing. Lisa knew what she wanted and was not afraid to reach for her dreams. Mnages are one of my favorite types of books to read and On the Edge was just the perfect read for me. Full of sensuality, it left me satisfied. +Jesus Christ on a cosmic or spiritual level. +5211 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It is a very good book. A lot of good ideas to start on.

They are the keepers of the entrance that separates our world from theirs. It is imperative the doors remain close. For the alternative would involve chaos and destruction for both worlds. + +He Loves Me! keeps a tight focus on God's love. Jacobsen repeatedly turns the readers eye away from themselves and places their sights upon the Heavenly Father. Rather than exploring the message of salvation, Jacobsen's work is written for those who have already entered into relationship with God through Jesus Christ, but who may not feel confident in His love. +came earlier then expected. + +This is a book I keep active on my Kindle. I will probably re-read again in another 6 or 8 months. I like it that much. +This book was a fun, fast paced read and almost as strange as the original AIW, in a good way. Her trans-Atlantic relationship with Nigel keeps her hoping for a HEA, but Nigel has many strange people and things going on in his life too. +For the right-hand section, the action fades and after what for me was the climactic revelation around page 150, the remaining section is prepared for by: "The year and I are both declining; there is a chill in the air." (177) With part three, the last sixty pages present more of a diminishing presence of all of the main characters. This last section, however, in its deliberately blurred and less substantially rendered details, involved me less than it could have. Death in Turin rather than Venice, yes, but again this morbidity shrouds the last segment in shadows more than sun. I see here the momento mori, the aging and contorted figures, the skulls and the devils awaiting below the ledge. If the opening of the book recalls Beckett, the end summons up the aftermath of another revelation--Greta to Gabriel, from Joyce's "The Dead." For the protagonist of Banville's study, he is doomed to live on in a world of increasing gloom, descending while still alive into the Hades of his own making, and of what he has been made into by the ghosts of the last century. (P.S. See also my reviews of "Eclipse" and "Ancient Light." These overlap with Axel Vander, Cass, and her father Alex Cleave's story.) +Written in a very conversational style with plenty of good explorations of Bible passages, this is an enjoyable and inspiring book to read that will help you to better understand the depth of God's love for you and increase your thirst for more of Him. +7503 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have read most of Jayne Rylon's books, but when I read the overview for this book it didn't really catch my attention so, I never purchased it... +1013 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I think the charge for this should be lower since it does not include Sundays or holidays and there are not very many articles. The writing is good though and I do enjoy reading them. + +Other Books: +The lands of Sacoridia are bounded by magical D'Yer Wall that has stood for a thousand years. It has served to keep the nightmare creatures of Kanmorhan Vane out, but the Gray One has breached the wall. I had hoped that the wall would be more involved in this story, but that comes in future books. The Green Riders are the main theme. They are the legendary couriers of the lands, though their reputation has tarnished over the centuries and their role in the liberation from evil has been forgotten. +9518 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Daughter of Deception is the first book in the Family Lies series. In a lot of ways, it is a paranormal Romeo and Juliet. Duke is the regional head of the Network, an organization of people with special abilities dedicated to hunting demons. Viola is the daughter of a man possessed by a powerful demon and from a family with a long, dark, and mysterious past. Against his better judgment, Duke takes her back into the Network and walks right into the demon hunt of his life. +The Knitting Circle was a beautiful book that touched me deeply; I wish that I could have spent the rest of my life getting to know all the wonderful people in it, especially Mary. I can say with great relief that I finally read a book where the main character was a strong woman who lost her grip but was not pathetic and desperate, she was a loving mother and a gracious friend with a non-nonsense approach and refreshing strength that splashed across each page and made me wish that the ending wouldn't come too soon. Mary's journey from dark depths started slowly but ended with a marvelous finish. +Eagerly awaiting the next! +1271 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" is a book written in several languages. Most of the book is written in plain English. Some of it in Spanish. Some of it in Footnotes. And some in an obscure dialect spoken only by a people who huddle together in dank rooms called "comic book shops" and on obscure internet chat boards. While I only know a few words of Spanish and couldn't follow along, I speak fluent geek and could understand every word of Oscar Wao's inane babble. +There is good humor and bravado throughout, but Frank does make sure to mention how wrong he was in a few points and how many people he unknowingly hurt along the way. He shows some contrition in a few cases +1823 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this book. After I read this book, I bought her other books. Deeply moving story of love, redemption and mercy. Especially moving story for anyone who has had or loves someone with an addiction. +594 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Persuasion is by far my favorite of Austen's novel (I know I get could get kicked out of the club for saying things like that but it is.) I've read a lot of different versions of P&P continuations and retellings so I was so pleased to find a retelling of Persuasion. I REALLY enjoyed this book. I liked the updated characters and situations. My only grievance would be that both Max and Jane are unlikable once in a while as the characterization goes too far. However, by the end, you so wanted to be there at the dinner party to see the looks on the family's faces for real. I liked the way JR and Isabelle were worked into the story and Pris was just as frustrating as in the original. I did love her cougar tendencies! Highly recommend this one - it's a fast read and a nice change of pace. + +Readers are also introduced to Elizabeth and Alex Dominic, Shane's kind and understanding parents. There is a particularly poignant exchange between Laura and Elizabeth when they are reacquainted after so many years that brought tears to my eyes. +5711 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed the series because it wasn't violent or sexy but made me think--I actually came to the same conclusions as Dr + +The core focus of this political persuasion is on "the worker". It evolved from a prior eternity of monarchs dominating the poor and a response to the scourge of serfdom. Ultimately, Lenin used "The Communist Manifesto" as a means of promoting the Russian Revolution which ultimately became the cultural horror which the rest of us came to know as The Soviet Union. In other words, it provided the basis for a ploy on the part of the Bolsheviks (Communist Party). +9407 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was actually pleasantly surprised by this book. I thought it was going to be another book about girl on girl but it was actually not. Yes it had that but it also had a good story line. It was very interesting to me as it dealt with women becoming empowered about their own sexuality and not allowing anyone to define or judge the. +While the historical bits of this book were fascinating, if shocking and often horrifying, the book itself is a miserable read, not helped by an unlikable narrator, unlikable characters, and a just plain depressing and unlikable storyline. +The Billionaire's Baby is a short and sweet romance that is plump with emotion. Leanne Banks packs this novella with tons of heat and heart! I love Haley's stubborn nature and Garrett's relentlessness. They make a gorgeous couple and the plot is swift and endearing. +5447 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Simon he may be the beta of the Pride but that boy is fierce when it comes to his woman, "if I find yout that you had a hand in helping Livia hurt my mate I will kick your a** so hard you'll s*** out of your mouth after I have you cast out of the Pride. You understand me?" He's just a big kitty where Becky is concerned, "Simon was purring. She ran her hands soothingly up and down his back, making him purr even louder. She bit her lip to keep from giggling." The man has no shame when it comes to sharing a bathroom, "he looks at her, confused. He pointed with the toothbrush. "Toilet's right there, baby." I'm excited for Adrian's book. +It's her birthday and she has not received any presents or wishes. Thinking that everyone forgot, she decides not to wallow and head out, and enjoy the day by doing things on her bucket list. One of those things was to kiss a tall, dark and handsome stranger. Mitch turned out to fit all the criteria but she chickened out and took his picture instead. He noticed and came over. They got to taking and he invited her to coffee. There he gave her the kiss and they decided to spend the day together. +4984 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed the first, which I got for free, enough to buy the second for $7, but I'm too cheap to buy any more. I would definitely continue reading the series if I could get it for free, or only a couple of bucks each. The good guys are good, the bad are very bad, and there are some very normal people who have some good days and some problem times. The main characters are likable. The adventures fit the general mold of young people trying to save the world, or at least their part of it. Companions on a quest kind of thing. The series is oriented toward a teen audience, but that's about the level of complexity that my mind has attained to in my sixty-eight years. +I thought the book was brilliant. Oscar Wao is an overweight oddball kid who loves science fiction and reading is obsessed with finding a girlfriend and losing his virginity. He seems inept at both. As much as we, the readers, grow to love Oscar and see him as the good-hearted and special man that he is, he is mistreated by so many others and ostracized by others for his eccentricities. He is not recognized for the diamond that he is except by his family, and especially his sister Lola and her sometimes boyfriend Yunior. +And I have news for all these authors ALMOST NO ONE BUT ME AND A FEW OF THE CUSTOMER REVIEWERS ACTUALLY COOKS WITH REAL FOOD ANYMORE. Do they really think the fast food junkies in enough dietary trouble to buy their books is going to get all that stuff and measure it and make those time consuming dishes? I don't think so. +9319 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The part of finding the spot in the bible by typing it in is not as easy as it sounds, but if you want a bible for your Kindle, this is what you want.

Again, if you want a bible for your Kindle, this is what you want. + + + + +Since it's such a short story to say any more would give it away. What I will say is nothing is as it seems and expect the unexpected. +2706 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 From what I learned so far from the text, it's a good historical overview for individual interested in policy. It's easy to read and understand. I am truly enjoying the book so far. +7721 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good book,couldn't put it down. Would recommend it to my friends. Can't wait for another book to read. Keep up the good work. +Parallax is my second fiction read by Jon F. Merz after I got a taste of his short story and I'm definitely hooked. This was an awesome thriller with lots of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I love stories that take me off guard and deal with complex characters that don't seem as if they're who they are, only to turn your expectations of them right on the side. + + +1954 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 With Will drugged and "Evanlyn" needing to act the story provides a good need to progress making it impossible to put down. +*SPOILER* +Lily shows Ray and his daughter many things in the weeks that follow. It is two bad that a blight from Ray's past has decided that his daughter is up for grabs. It will take Lily and Ray working as a team to overcome this evil. Things that Ray thought he dealt with a long time ago come to the surface and past hurts are verbalized. Lily must strive to recreate her less than dignified upbringing in order to keep Ray's daughter safe. +CAUTION SPOILER: +THE FIELD describes how scientists have gradually become aware of what appears to be a unifying energy structure in our universe. This "Zero Point Field" provides us with a simpler explanation for how things work than previous overly-complex ideas require. Simplicity in science is a good thing, because it generally indicates which theories will win out as time goes by. The Zero Point Field theory demonstrates it's elegant simplicity by allowing physicists to derive the famous equation F=ma (rather than take it as a starting assumption), and by helping medical practitioners understand the underlying scientific basis for homeopathy. +Chapters 16, 17, and 18 also include stories about participants in the Lincoln County War, so it is hard to disagree with the commercial. Hough interviewed many people involved with the war, and visited many of the sites made famous by the struggle. Probably the most interesting interview is the one with Pat Garrett, the sheriff who killed Billy the Kid. Hough took Garrett to visit Fort Sumner and Pete Maxwells House, and Garrett told exactly how his final encounter with Billy the Kid went down as he was at the scene. Quien Es? +8602 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved the story of Alana and Gus! He new what he wanted, she just was afraid to let go of old sounds! Everyone will love this book! +Levin makes the same kind of rhetorical blunders when he suggests that Blackmun may have turned 'left' under the influence of his wife (while giving a little shot in the arm to Richard Nixon for having the foresight of wanting to base a Supreme Court nomination partly on the quality of a man's wife). When discussing the famous argument over the inclusion of "under God" in the pledge of allegiance, Levin focuses more on how much the plaintiff's daughter actually wanted to say the phrase, which is of course moot when considering the actual legitimacy of requiring the phrase in a patriotic statement. + +Why is it banned? The whole book is child abuse and repeated rape. Nothing is presented to be titillating or erotic, rather it will disturb you. Disturb you to want to do something to prevent this from happening to any child. Other books I have read along this same vein are David Pelzer's memoirs (like A Boy Called It) and Alice Sebold's Lovely Bones. These books will wrench your heart. You would have to be quite mature to read this and I would say maybe 17 at the earliest. +1330 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It explains in full depth what the Field is all about. The book opens your mind into new realms and way of being. Great book. +Loreli has had the same dreams! +With This Ring is the sweet continuation of Ryan and Josh's story. Getting married on New Year's Eve would be romantic anyway, but with these two it's a guaranteed aww! I really like Ryan and Josh, and reading more about how their relationship progresses to marriage is enjoyable. There's a particularly cool secondary character, one of Ryan's older relatives, who I liked a lot. Garrett and CJ from TA Chase's Love of Sports series make a cameo appearance, and Kasey and Gram are mentioned, which is fun if you've read those books as well. With This Ring doesn't feature a lot of conflict, but it's a nice holiday read with enough sweetness to brighten a gloomy day. + +-Sue Monk Kidd (The Secret Life Of Bees p 155-6) +7599 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was a very intertaining book. I love reading it. Just good all around product. I have read it several times. +In this quest Viola has to enlist the aid and help of Tobias Duke, her lifelong crush and hero of her childhood!

Strong, quirky heroine and HOT shifter hero who is vulnerable to his mate. Also@a great supporting characters that become your best friends, too.

Some people have big mouths and then some people have Nina Blackman's mouth. Scratch that... nobody does the big mouth like Nina. We first saw Nina in The Accidental Werewolf as Marty Andrew's color wheel accomplice and best friend. Even as a secondary character in that book she really made an impression on me, and I was glad that she got her own book. + +6920 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Absolutely loved it! It reads just like you are watching the show! Thanks to Craig Johnson for his great writing and to Netflx for airing all the episodes. Powerful, powerful emotional Western drama. Much better than any other westerns. Now I'm on a mission to get all of his books! +Eden Bradley knows how to heat up the pages in a hurry. She creates sexual tension and love scenes that will get your heart racing. But she also creates characters that are realistic and fun to read. If you're looking for a quick, sexy read to warm you up, then Winter Solstice is just the ticket. I enjoyed Ms. Bradley's style and look forward to more in this series as well as her other titles. +There is a good story within this book, unfortunately it's hampered by way too many obstacles which bog down the plot line, an overabundance of bad communication between characters (to the point where I almost put the book down because they were annoying me so much with their ridiculousness), and ludicrous turn-arounds from several of the side characters who suddenly start behaving supportive without any explained motivation. That being said; I did adore Lord Nathan and the end of his story was immensely satisfying. I just wish that Lady Iona and her family hadn't been so ridiculously eye-roll worthy. + + +7307 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 **No Spoilers** Just a review. +Ransom is a 26 yrs old single father, who also happens to be the younger half brother of old classmate Adam Johnson (who also happens be the principal at the school she teaches at).

Kansas from Earth is dropped head first into Oz thanks to the wizard Z who thinks he's just the right kind of man to teach the king a few things about love. It's quirky, funny, sexy and very hot. This novella has it all in spades and the land of Oz is not at all like I remember - this one is a hundred times hotter! Only 4 stars because I wanted it to go on for about a hundred more chapters! If I could do a half star, it would be right there at 4 1/2 only because I didn't want it to end. :-) +8811 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I never thought I'd subscribe to a blog and I'd had my Kindle for a good while before I signed up for this one. I am so glad I did. It has led me to some very good books that I would not have found otherwise. While there are many resources and ways to find free Kindle books, I love that Michael culls the herd somewhat and shares titles from many genres--and I simply don't have time to do this every day myself. I may not be interested in some of them, but that's fine with me. I also don't mind if I run across a dud--these books are free, so that really isn't an issue. Plus, I know I'm not the only person subscribing to the blog. Different things appeal to different folks. I also like the fact that the books generally must have several reviews and rate 4 or 5 to make the cut. +7616 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Haven't read it yet, however the price was right. like it or not, the cover looked good so there you are.

I kept having to look back to the previous speakers to figure it out. The overweight sheriff isn't nearly as likable as the one in the TV series, which is very absorbing.

Simon's protective instincts come to the forefront, however, and he finds that for the first time in his life he doesn't want to share a woman with his business partner, Ethan Cowell. + + + + +Worth 3.75 stars +* Kindle (2nd Generation) +Unlike the other reviewers I enjoyed the twist in the ending. Cheap attempt at surprise? Yes it was but again part of what made the book so fun. If you like a mindless entertaining read to escape reality...which is why I AM such a big Jackie Collins fan....then read this book. +Mascia's easy flowing writing style will quickly draw readers in, leaving them anxious to reach the next saga in her tenebrous, migratory life. +The book continues maybe a few weeks to a month after the end of The Burning Bridge; with Will and Evanlyn engaging route to Skandia as slaves, and Halt trying to keep his promise to Will. + +4924 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 not worth the trouble,i really did not care at all for this book even if it was a fill in book +When I started the book I had the odd feeling I was dealing with the set up of a 1980's slasher film. The young adults, isolated with the ominous feeling of impending suspenseful doom. Danger awaiting them and always a threat. After a couple of threats that feeling disappeared and something reminiscent of a happy telling of Lord of the Flies came to mind. Once it really got rolling I wanted more and more to keep going. I really didn't want to put it down. +2662 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love all of Abigail Reynolds novels, but this is one of the best.

Great choice! +8976 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Claire Crater is at a rocking New Year's Eve party but is she celebrating? No, once again she's sitting against a wall writing in her notebook. Claire is an erotic writer and her characters seriously have a richer love life than Claire ever has. While searching for her next hero, Claire focuses on a man who is gorgeous and seems slightly familiar. No, she would remember if she had ever known anyone who looked like him. Mason Ledbetter along with his best friend, Hunter Morris, went to high school with Claire. They were the typical class nerds and never had the guts to ask her out even though they wanted to. While she still looks the same, they have changed--for the better. Tonight, both Mason and Hunter plan on fulfilling a long-time dream to have Claire between them - not only tonight but forever. After a night of fireworks, reactions make the two decide to give up Claire. Too bad they didn't ask her first because she has other ideas. +8371 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is another good book by Elizabeth Lennox.

With only her dog for company at home, she goes on walks and that is the highlight of her day other than turning down an icky coworker who wants to date her. Her best friend is gay - so no romantic help there. Down in the dumps but unwilling to give in and go out with Evan, aka "Mr. Icky", Jenny's life takes a one hundred and eighty degree turn when she is walking her dog and runs into the epitome of a Greek god - a man named William Jackson. Silent but extremely hot, he is exactly what Jenny needs in her life. The more Jenny spends time with Will, the more she falls in love with him. Their idyllic existence comes to a screeching halt with one act of violence against Jenny. Once she is healed, will they be able to come to grips with their feelings for each other? Will they still be able to love? Those are the questions that Jenny is too afraid to ask. + +Annmarie McKenna's TWO SIGHTED will delight readers with the fun array of characters, witty conversations, sexual innuendos, and enough suspense to keep you riveted to the pages. I loved the intensity of the relationship between Kyle and Aislinn. And I got a kick out of her friend Christina and Kyle's `groupies' as she refers to them, Jon and JT, playful banter and sexual interest among the three of them. Ms. McKenna does a wonderful job blending emotional situations into the plot so that you genuinely care about what happens with each character and never want the story to end. Fortunately, Ms. McKenna does treat us to Christina, Jon and JT's story in her follow up book - THE STRENGTH OF THREE - which is currently available. + + Maddox has a dark past, one that still haunts him. Iris offers him an oasis, a healing touch in the midst of the tropical island. But will Maddox allow himself to accept that he is worthy of Iris and her love? Maddox is one of my favorite types of heroes in a romance, one of those tortured heroes who focuses on the individuals he couldn't save. His heroism reached through the pages as his pain grabbed my heart and twisted. I wanted Maddox to have his happily-ever-after (HEA) and Iris was the perfect one to give it to him. + +6136 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love this book to pieces! My copy is almost falling apart I have read it so many times. Everyone needs to read this book. That is how much I love it. +2591 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 this was not my favorite story. I think she should have had much more of a backbone. I love the alpha male, but not a weak female, and she was to weak. I did not like that he thought she was a theif and she took his crap over it. The story did have some great sex, and things of course worked out, but she was just to much of a push over for my tastes. +9408 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I liked this book from being to the end. Fabulous story of a middle-aged piano teacher and her student. Starting off the teacher explains the lesson plan. The student teaches the teacher the finer points of being introduced in to Lesbian Romance. Fantastic job writing this book. I highly recommend this book to all looking for a little more than a quick story. +329 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 68 pages, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels worked together for four years to write this book on political theories.

He sounded like a mafia goon and a cheat even though he didn't really sleep with other women. His wife was perfect, tough, smart and the way most ladies really are. I hated this book. +8151 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I could not put the book down. I read it in one sitting. It's one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read.

I was very happy that he skipped graphic details and used intimation and innuendo instead. + +It was helpful that there was a little explanation of the Project Exorcism at the start of the book so you can sink right into enjoying the book. Im definitely looking forward to the next books! +Do I advise you to read the book first so as to avoid the skew of injecting Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio? You know the successful movie. It is hard not to hear DiCaprio's voice while reading Frank's dialogue. Because the movie has such skilled actors and good editing, it comes across tightly and exciting. +If at first Alex comes out like an unpleasant boy, with all his teasing toward Steve and Jack, little by little the reader understands that he is really very young and in deep need of love. And that probably he has not the right perspective on sex; in the past he used sex to "buy" love, now that he doesn't need it to gain the affection from the people around him, Alex is lost. But he will find a young boy, a virgin, that will teach him that sex without real love means nothing. After all, this is a romance ;-) +Have you noticed that the covers for the Ranger's Apprentice series has changed? I have been collecting the series in USA paperback editions with the covers not containing the metal-shield-banner (by Cliff Nielsen), with the artwork of John Blackford not enlarged. These new covers are now demanding more attention, when they are already getting enough from widespread fans around the world and I must say that I'm not very fond of them. Nevertheless, on with the review... +Unabridged audiobook length: 9 hours. Narrator: Caroline Hunt. Swearing language: none. Sexual content: none. Setting: 1776 England. Book Published: 1934. Genre: historical romance, Georgian romance. + +I also enjoyed how she sometimes used the first-person-narrative, sometimes talked about herself in the third person (as in, "Once upon a time, there was a girl who...") and sometimes addressed the reader with "you". This made the story feel even closer to me and all the more devastating. +For the record, the twelve Caesars, about whom Suetonius writes, are: +Ms. Enright writes so well about what happens-- love, loss, failure, death-- in every family. +The best thing about these books: the characters, only 2 of the "villains" and none of the "heroes" are one dimensional. People show strengths, weaknesses, good and bad qualities, and rounded characters, especially in a fantasy, add to the enjoyment. +1940 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 awesome book from a great seller +* I couldn't put it down, it was fast, a light and fun read, a book I'd recommend as a pick-me-up. +1131 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. The chemistry between the main characters was explosive and you manage to fall in love with Llew and Jess as well as his brothers and Jane (featured in the second book) as the story progresses. This book has a lot of spice and some surprising darkness towards the end. The writing is pretty good and the characters are portrayed well coming together for an overall steamy little read that turned me on to a new series. I would definitely check it out but be warned its definitely got a TON of sex, so if that's not your thing I would steer clear, if it is then what have you got to lose? The book is free! +If a woman opens a wine house? She dies. +Fin +5434 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this novella/short story. I got "Dead Man's Rain" first for free when it was offered for the Kindle, but I went to Frank Tuttle's website because I wanted to read his works in this series in order. I got the sample and loved it and since it was only 2 dollars, I couldn't resist it. Anyone who wants a slightly silly and fun trip through a world where mythological and fantasy creatures really exist alongside people, should read this bok because this is the book for you. I would say it's even ok for children, at least this one, because there's nothing hugely graphic spelled out except for mention of blood and people getting hit. I will start Dead Man's Rain shortly. +5482 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Preacher, a new Christian fresh from two years in prison, reenters life with hopes and dreams and crashes into the reality of his past.

It has some interesting sci-fi elements, but the hero is like a historical romance hero and his planet is kept low tech so that it is much like Colonial America. The heroine was so innocent despite the occupation she was genetically engineered to fill. She was very sympathetic, but also funny and plucky. The hero's brother was a fun character, too. + +Jo Banks is a ghost exterminator going through an identity crisis. She's been able to see ghosts since the age of six which definitely throws her into the weirdo category. After years of longing to be normal, she desperately embraces the anti-normal by going Goth, except that doesn't really fit in with her tall playboy bunny body, blonde hair, and pixie like facial features either. When she's hired by Wyatt Haines, the stuck up arrogant and hauty owner of a succesful chain of inns, the sparks start to fly. Wyatt has recently purchased an old Victorian home but everytime he's attempted renovations, something unexplainable happens and the contruction workers end up walking off the job. Not a believer in ghosts, but desperate to try anything, he lets his secretary hire a ghost exterminator, only when he meets "Commando Barbie," he can't help but show his disdain. On the flip side, Jo only sees a stick up his butt and treats him equally as bad. Believer or not, she was hired to do a job, and she plans on finishing it. When she sees the house, she's knows there's more to it than your typically haunting but she proceeds to free the spirits from the house, only something goes horribly wrong and some of the spirits end up inside Wyatt. Never having something like this happen before, Jo and Wyatt cannot separate until they figure out how to remove the ghosts from his body, determine what is keeping ghosts in his home, and release them from this world. +8022 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book has three of my favorite things. Shifter, space, and alpha males lol. Add to that magic and strong smart mouth woman. It made for a great evening read. I do wish it was a bit longer and a big more story line but it is a great little parnormal romance. Pick this book if you want light interesting read with romance and s***ers.

He cuts out all the fluff and feel good mantras and really teaches you how to get your financial house in order. This is a great book (along with all his others) that will help anyone at any stage in their financial journey turn things around or take it to the next level. He covers everything from myths about debt and pitfalls to avoid to paying off your mortgage, the famous debt repayment snowball, and also giving back(which he makes it a point to cover in all his books).Highly recommend +3110 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was very helpful in my journey to learning about PCOS and gluten free.

Her best friend is obviously sick. (Shouldn't she be able to smell it? She can smell yesterday's lunch.) She almost notices something is wrong twice but decides to stop thinking about anyone else and focus on her pity party instead. +6685 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good story, good characters, great setting. I'm very tempted to look up further books in this series, because I love stories about rebuilding society after an apocalypse. This was a nice little novella, perfect length for a quick read. +Sure, you're going to get politics here (and in-depth analyses you just won't find elsewhere), but you also will find an incredible array of diaries covering everything from issues of national and international import to touching personal stories. For example, I started my day out today reading "In Honor of My Departed Friend: A Brief Tale of Love and Loss," Redstateresident's loving and beautiful tribute to his dog Mobley who just passed away. (Having old dogs myself, Mobley's story really touched my heart.) Diverse people write about what they are passionate about, and so you get a wide array of well-researched, well-written information. Some are super-serious, some are laugh-out-loud funny. Kind of like Keith Olbermann...who occasionally pops into the mix. +I always thought that Neverland was a better place even that Heaven as a place to go after leaving this world. + +1859 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I read this romance novel when it first came out in print I enjoyed this book so much that I had to have it in my kindle.

If you loved the original "Pride and Prejudice," then Ms. Reynolds 'variation' novels are a fantastic way to extend the pleasure. + + +It sickens me that I paid good money for this book. I finished only because I kept hoping that it would somehow get better. It makes me leery to try new authors when this is the kind of utter crap that I end up with. I urge you to move on, and save your money for so many more pleasant things - like a root canal. + +But this group had prepared, bringing magical weapons as well as those men or creatures that could use magic against the enemy, for surely the enemy came from none other than the realm of the chaos lords! And when they did, they were grotesque, loathsome creatures that immediately began to tear the soldiers apart... + There can be no doubt of the accuracy of Levin's argument. The problem of "Men In Blsck" lies in Levin's adoption of certain cases and movements as evidence. For example, Levin chastises the Court for holding that burning the American flag is protected under the First Amendment. Well, I consider myself a conservative - and I agree with the Court. There are simply some issues that resonable people can disagree on, but Levin doesn't seem to allow that latitude. This is regrettable, because generally Levin's arguments are strong. Likewise, Levin allows himself to get wrapped up in Roe v. Wade and the entire abortion issue. There are many people, like myself, who believe that the legal reasoning in Row v. Wade is lacking, if not entirely non-existent. Yet it is possible at the same time for even conservatives to believe the ultimate holding is correct. In fact, I know that I am not alone in believing that abortion does constitute the taking of a human life, but that government has absolutely no right to dictate what a woman may do with regard to her own body. In other words, Roe v. Wade is simply not a good way to illustrate the truth of Levin's theme that "the Supreme Court is destroying America." It is: but Roe v. Wade is not likely to get the majority of people to agree with that premise. +9055 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I truly enjoyed this novel.

There are a lot of characters crammed into a small space, and there's way too much assumed knowledge on the part of the author. That's the bad bit. +In a Reckless Moment is a charming story of opposites attracting. Ross and Cassandra burn up the pages as their explosive chemistry is the foundation for building a marriage from convenience to a forever love. Cassandra is a woman many will appreciate for her independence, her common sense and her genuine love for Ross and her family. She is warm and witty, charming and beautiful. With not a vain bone in her body, she endeared herself to me even further. Ross, on the other hand, is a charming and handsome rogue; he is jaded and spoiled until Cassandra brings him down a few pegs. He is clueless about love and it is with baited breath that this reader watched as he fell further under Cassandra's spell each day. With the underlying mystery of Ross's past to keep this reader guessing, I was intrigued by the storyline, both the journey to falling in love and the mystery of threats to the couple's safety. I thoroughly enjoyed Emma Wildes' In a Reckless Moment and I intend to purchase all of the previous titles. +4008 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I'll make this quick.

They learn about each other while on this hiking, puzzle-solving, racing, canoeing adventure.

The protagonist is an ordinary woman forced to deal with difficult circumstances - an abusive ex and a 13 year old son. While trying to evade the ex, she must find affordable housing, acquire jobs, and deal with her son - all quite heroic, but then there's a monster in the woods... I couldn't stop reading. Very satisfying. +It is a wonderful story of three women, each trying to come to terms with life and its vicissitudes, given their own needs, desires, and circumstances, as well as the nature of the time in which they lived. It is also a birds-eye view into frontier life in a polygamous household, at a time in which this doctrine was the status quo for Mormonism. +3602 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have read everything I can find by Brenda Jackson. I love her books! I may get around to writing a review on each of her books I've read, but for now, I just want to say "Brenda Jackson rocks!". Tonight and Forever was the first book I read by her and I was hooked. I couldn't wait to read about the rest of the Madaris family. Once I finished with them, I went on to the Westmoreland's, the Steele's, the Bennett's, the Grangers, etc. Her books are absolutely awesome! +Scott has certainly grown up right, now running his own business and enjoying life almost to the fullest. The only thing missing in his life is love. Sure, his looks pave the way for him with most women, but many regard him as nothing more than a curious fling due to his blindness. Tara is one of the few women that treats him just like any other man, which he most certainly is. Despite his disability, Scott is more than capable of taking care of both himself and the woman he loves. + +Beautifully written you will not want to put this story down until you reached the last page. +Whereas the subject matter may not be appropriate for young teens, the writing style was of that type of simplicity. Not only was the sentence structure coarse and unrefined, but the flow came in staccato bursts that was just exhausting to read.

The story is filled with constant obstacles for our characters to overcome with more than just blade or arrow. Having read through the series this book largely sets up the action-packed fourth book which is also the last book of this particular story arc of the Rangers apprentice. It is well worth the read if you love books one and two +This book should get it across to those knuckleheads in the Republican Party. Trump carried these jerks' water for them. "Where's the birth certificate? etc" Now the media and the Democrats who control the media are out to get him, like always. Forget global warming. Forget international trade. Forget cussin' away at Mexican Americans etc. Now they've got him by the balls, literally, with these rape stories, these harpies. So these bums, elected by good white Americans, the hamburgers of the earth, now they're gonna head for the tall grass? Yeah? Don't think that sending Newt Gingrich out with his tongue flickering is gonna do it. All these guys gotta get down on their knees. Trump's gonna win anyway, and then they'll find out who's boss. + + +554 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great book. Lots of twist and turns. Keeps you up reading. I finished it in one night. Hard to put down. + + +Don't ask me how it's possible, but Winnie the Pooh's verse scans better than Milne's, and closing with two hundred pages of slightly rhyming fluff of no particular (a)cuteness significantly detracts from the brilliance of Winnie the Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. If you skip the poetry, however, this is a lovely edition, with a nice weight and beautifully colored prints of Shepard's illustrations. It's not the thing to put in little hands, but it's perfect for those of us who never stopped loving Edward Bear. + +2868 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really like it +I liked that there was a sly sense of humor here, an acknowledgement of the horror/suspense tropes being paraded through the story. Missy is fully aware that she has found herself in the middle of a slasher movie scenario. + +I recommend this book to Science Fiction, Time travel and Roswell alien fiction readers. +As always, short stories are not to everyone's taste, and I don't think this story will be the one to make you a fan of this length if you're not currently. + + +3833 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The nine surviving Hegarty siblings gather together in the family home in Dublin for the wake of their brother Liam. In the observance of a life now ended, Liam's sister Veronica (our narrator) recalls the past - both real and perhaps imagined - to try to understand the why and the how of Liam's life and death. + +Like the layers of an onion, Diaz peels back the layers of years to reveal the back history of Oscar and his sister Lola. And what a history it is! The Banana Curtain is unveiled and the horrors of Trujillo -- the raging narcissist and despoiler of women -- are unflinchingly revealed, creating shudders of revulsion and flashes of understanding in this reader. +This is a comprehensive guide to training, raising, handling, and guiding a new puppy. THe method is part patience, part reinforcment, and mostly about training the owner. This is as it should be -- owners are the ones that need to be trained the most. +9436 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Amsterdam 2012 is a story of a dystopian future (Similar to the 1980's TV series Amerika), only this time the invaders aren't communists but Muslim extremists. The heroine, Ann, is a generic college girl visiting Amsterdam when she and her boyfriend Peter, stumble across a violent murder commited by Islamic terrorists. They flee the country just before violence erupts in Europe. I found the story to be exciting and engaging, even if times I found Ann and Peter annoying as protagonists. +Sacred Fate is a "modern" romance (man on man pair, male pregnancy...) with an old fashioned development (the damsel in distress, the knight in shining armour, even a bit of cinderfella...); for this reason I think can appeal to a lot of readers, but obviously not if you have something against you men having a bit of female inside. +2468 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A good account of Maj.

It just was not true to characters and quite frankly just wasn't that interesting. +So much has been written I don't have much to add - except that Tines book is of much help for those who still struggle - it is more 'step by step' and I found this edition full and complete: Getting In Tune With The Infinite: A Guide To Fullness Of Peace, Power, And Plenty +The book really delves into Hans Litten's personality, beliefs and motivations. It looks closely at his life both from childhood right up to his death in Dachau concentration camp - the ultimate price paid for humiliating Hitler. Likewise, it looks closely at those who surrounded Litten, and the consequences of their association with him. To give him credit, Hett (the author) did a fantastic amount of research for the book, basing the arguments he provides largely on documented historical fact, backing it up with notes at the end citing the exact references. +Walt Longmire is a modern day cowboy and sheriff in Absaroka County, Wyoming his birth place. He is college educated and a veteran and a widower. He is a man of few words and his main interest is protecting the people of his county.

In the midst of all of this is the death of a young man who had escaped harsh punishment for the rape of a Native American girl. +2007 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 13 year old son enjoyed every book from these series, refreshingly absent of witchcraft and vampires, full of epic battle excitement +SPOILER ALERT!! + +And then I consider the role of Darcy's parents in his life. I am especially reminded of the scene he describes in going to his father, who is playing cards with Wickham, to relate how he mastered a certain skill in horsemanship, and is told by his father never to interrupt him while at cards again as it will put him off his game. "It was at that moment that I realized I was little more than a pawn to him, and...resolving I would never allow Georgiana to feel so uncared for as I felt at that moment." +The smile lurked at the back of Rule's eyes.

I read it in less than a day and enjoyed it!! +As Well and you future books +In this work, Kirkpatrick takes us through a candid journey with Mark Zuckerberg, the brains behind the whole thing. It's a surprising journey in many ways, for one thing - compared to other `phenomenon' entrepreneurial tales, Facebook's is quite short, spanning barely more than half a decade. Despite this, there is more than enough material for a full non-fiction book, (and a feature length film.) +As for the price.......Most of the Kindle Newspapers can be found free on the Net. Politico is no different. It's a Kindle thing. I like it. + +8900 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Lord Rule was to marry Elizabeth, but she was in love with an Army Lieutenant. Elizabeth's youngest sister, Horatia, goes to Lord Rule and offers herself as a substitute bride. Lord Rule instantly likes Horatia and agrees to marry her, since he was only getting married to produce an Heir. This is a sweet love story. It kept my attention and has many twists and turns. I am particularly fond of Lord Rule for his correct and humorous speech throughout the story. I highly recommend this book. It is one of my favorite novels by Georgette Heyer so far. +7181 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 After a year of self imposed celibacy following her break up with her former master Jane Porter is ready to get back into the BDSM lifestyle. She's not looking for a lifelong love or even a long term relationship but she'd love to find a master who can bring out the full extent of her passion. + + +Each of these stories were well-written and I found myself fully pulled into each story. With the first story, I became involved with the characters and really grew to love them as the stories continued. In the first five, each story built on the last one and I got to know each previous character more than before as well as be introduced to know characters. + +504 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great read +8478 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I LOVE THE STORIES I READ. +I thought Kentucky Woman wonderfully portrays the struggles of a single parent in a realist fashion that many can relate to. Alexis was a woman who was determined to provide the very best for her son; however, she wasn't willing to settle for anything just to stay ahead of the game. She carefully weighed out all of her options before she agreed to marry Jack. Jack had a compassionate nature. When it came to Alexis, he was very protective and wouldn't allow any harm to come to her. The only problem that both Jack and Alexis possessed was the fear of rejection, and because of this fear neither was willing to publicly admit the love for one another. I really enjoyed the interaction between the couple has they battled to build a relationship beyond their hurtful past experiences. +2714 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is small, short, sparse. Not a lot of pages or words but the imprint of what is written will linger long after you put the book down. I read a lot of thrillers and a lot of YA. I thought I'd probably have read this story before, wondered how this author would approach the topics of child abduction, molestation, rape, imprisonment. Suffice to say that Scott was master of the task. The life of Alice in Ray's prison was hell and terror, fright and pain. She was starved, abused, beaten and repeatedly forced to sexual surrender to a man who was himself abused by a sexual sadist (his mother). Alice no longer hopes for release or for any other life, that dream has been destroyed along with her girlhood. As she grows from a child of 10 to a teen of 15, Ray no longer is happy with her body or her attitude. He wants a new girl and has assigned Alice to help him acquire her. Alice is powerless to resist, beaten down by 5 years of submission and only longs for the substitute to release her from this bond. She can't say NO. The new girl has been chosen and then what will happen to Alice? The last Alice was killed, and yet, that is a release of sorts. No one sees, no one hears, no one there to help. +This book quickly evolves into two complete stories. Will and Evanlyn's tale in Skandia is bleak and hard as they're put into slavery after a harsh voyage. I like Erak's development in this story, and I know he's going to develop into a major player in this series. Seems like everywhere Will and Halt go they're forging new bonds, taking on new responsibilities. But that's just fun! +- - Gifted ARC copy - - + +Mel + +There will be some mild **SPOILERS** + + +Lynne Maris's TAMED delves into what is normally considered a huge taboo - the student/teacher love affair. Add a BDSM angle and this is one smoldering story that I couldn't resist. Katrina's harbored her feelings for Derek for years and they've only grown stronger over time. Derek's careful to keep from crossing over the line with Katrina even though it's obvious that he does feel something for her. Once they're safely disguised though they're free to act on their impulses - even if he isn't 100% positive that the woman dressed as Kitty is his `Kat.' TAMED is fast past, full of emotional turmoil and lots of hot sweaty sex and rather interesting use of adult `toys.' +This is Kasey and Gram's story and it is a good one about find love and working to hold on to it even when it doesn't fit your 'ten year plan' to have it now. +After being fired from MIT for keeping a double set of books on his research, physicist Professor Ray Stafford recruits one of his students (David Anderson) to help him steal his research equipment and transport it across the country to a hidden location, so that he can continue with his time-travel research project. +2370 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Hold Me Tight is an excellent reference for couples and therapists. It starts by explaining that all fear and insecurity in relationships is due to fear of abandonment. It continues with good examples of couples who needed to learn to communicate and understand each other better. The combination of ideas and examples makes it a great read. +7316 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Kit's story is unique to the series, about the group of immortal guards and their creation.

I recommend the series though. +6218 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Had to keep reading about the people I was introduced in the McPherson Trilogy. This book was just as good as the first 3, if not better! The relationship of Jaimie & Malcolm was so sweet when they were kids, but got really good when they grew up. The suspense in this book was thrilling and made for a real page turner!! Such excitement! Definitely would recommend reading this novel, in order! You won't regret it!! +Steel Beauty is the fourth of Dana Marie Bell's Halle Puma stories, and it is a fun book to read. There are places where I laughed out loud. The heroine, Belinda "Belle" Campbell has to face several hardships in the beginning of this book. The steps Belle takes once she gets to the Pack lodge to take her place as Luna are hilarious. The passage at the beginning of the book, with Belle and Rick texting each other is an imaginative use of technology and a great piece of comic relief. Belle continues to handle things with grace, humor and just a little bit of underhandedness. Do Belle and Rick get their happily ever after? Will Rick ever get the air horn away from Belle? Pick up a copy of Steel Beauty to find those answers. + +Dirk his entire life. Remi's younger brother Sterling is still under +5844 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I simply ADORED this book.

While I enjoy the sex I am glad story line and characters take precedence in "With Caution". Remy as a submissive omega is still a surprise to me but who could resist such an Alpha Jake in hot leathers. But later in the book, I find myself drawn more to another hot alpha Rhys and the energetic and effervescent Sterling and could hardly wait for this couple's story! + +Quick bedroom read!! +The plot moves along at a good pace, with the back-story presented in such a way that it does not interfere with the action; and there is a great deal of action. The battles are bloody and messy; and one thing leads to another with vengeance. The quest to find the missing Lord of Dor becomes the desperate need to stem an otherworldly invasion which will plunge the world into darkness should evil prevail. +7912 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is just a novelette to acquaint the readers on Kaylee--the heroine in the story.

From two lazy daughters from the step-mother's side, to the hardworking princess, fairy god mother, the ball and yes, the glass slipper. In reading the story, I liked the fact that my mind was busy piecing together and waiting in anticipation of what scene was coming up next or how it was portrayed. +8066 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Maya Banks books are really good. There is a lot of happiness and sadness in this book . I've always liked supernatural books and Maya has one of the best books . She makes the people and the animals feel so real . Like you can believe if there really is beings who really exist in our world right now. . I would recommend this book to read . +7959 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 The book is like a chapter, without resolution and just hangs there to cause the reader to purchase the next installment.

It is now erased from my archives and this author is on my "black" list. +5069 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed reading this complete series of Wizard of OZ. Some books I had read before, but this is the first time I am able to read a complete set of books in order. Some books are new to me. I am currently reading this complete set. +Alpha and Omega is one of my favorite novellas. I love the characters and the descriptions of their werewolf characteristics. The story is engaging with great dialogue and character development. Alpha and Omega makes a strong introduction to the series without alienating readers new to the established world +- The more I read, the more I liked the tone of the narration. James is honest and intelligent, and there's something rather charming about his resigned attitude toward life. Lanyon also captures the obsession of a scholar very well: when James starts looking at an antique book or manuscript, he completely loses touch with the outside world. +One moment he's cursing her out for betraying him, the next moment, all is forgiven. +8111 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 When Charli and her three men enter in to a scavenger hunt, Charli thinks that they'll win the contenst easily.

Being busy building boats, Tribe A allows Tribe B to build the nets--a less productive venture than the new boat-building venture is. Tribe A's greater productivity thanks to fishing boats (and greater wealth thanks to fishing boats) allows for more children, increasing the tribe's population, allowing for a larger labor supply in the near future that will be available for procuring other innovative, labor-saving inventions. + +1008 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Obvious bias in many articles - what happened to objectivity? Regardless interesting when read with a grain of salt. The book reviews are good, travel section interesting. Overall, for a newspaper it is ok. +6118 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Right now I'm rereading Karen Rose's Have You Seen Her? It's romantic suspense at it's best, with a dark overtone. SBI agent Steven Thatcher (who was introduced in earlier books) is floundering. He has a case that involves young teenage girls that go missing from their beds. And they're turning up dead, and noone seems to know anything. According to the feedback he's getting, these girls would never have willingly left their homes with anyone. He's hitting a wall, and more girls are going missing...His home life is quickly spiralling out of his control, too...his 17 year old son is suddenly flunking classes in school, sullen and sneaky...his youngest son, who was kidnapped in a previous book, still won't sleep in his own bed and is just getting so he'll allow himself to be touched again...and Steven's Aunt is determined to fix him up with a woman. In the midst of all this, Steven meets Jenna Marshall. Dr. Jenna Marshall, actually~~his 17 yr. old son's Chemistry teacher, who is very concerned with Brads decline in grades and attitude. The attraction is mutual, and immediate. But how will Steven find the time for this when his plate is already full? This is an awesome story, and if you're a romance fan, or a fan of suspense, don't miss it!! It's loosely connected to Karen's other books, but every one is stand alone and not to be missed. Her new book, Count To Ten is due out soon, and I can't wait!! + +2626 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What a great book!!! I could not stop reading it. This is one of the best modern tellings of Pride and Prejudice. The characters reflect their classic counterparts well and the story line gives us a wonderful "now" version of Jane Austen's. The romance was high on the sigh worthy chart. The interactions and development of the characters were very believable. I highly recommnend this terrific read. + + +Reviewed at Bitten by Books Paranormal Fiction Review Site by Rachel +2180 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my favorite books. +The younger son had previously had to grow up fast and act like a man. In this story he is acting more his actual age and can be somewhat annoying in his immaturity. But I guess I have to be annoyed with men in general who turn totally stupid in the presence of a pretty woman. Thank goodness for the men with experience and brains in the family. Mr. Shaye sure does a good job of raising boys - gun toting rep. or not. +Tribe A saved more by looking for food less, placing that saved time into creating a net that would increase the catch of fish. We can say that Tribe A has a greater productive edge than does Tribe B, whose members are still using sharpened sticks to catch fish--very laborious and relatively unproductive. + +The book that saved my life and that finally led to my no longer having blood sugar crashes, is PORPHYRIA: The Ultimate Cause of Common, Chronic, & Environmental Illnesses, With Breakthroughs in Diet, Supplements, and Energy Balancing, by Steven Rochlitz, PhD. + +7496 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I read this one and thought it was good, not as funny as some in her Halle series The Wallflower: A Hunting Love story, Halle Puma Series Book 1.,Steel Beauty: Halle Pumas, Book 4 or Bear Necessities: Halle Shifters, Book 1, but I wanted to re-read it so I could read Eye of the Beholder: True Destiny, Book 2. +Proof that Marx's Law of Value (which posits that labor is the sole source of value, imputing that value into commodities) is in error: + +8903 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the first of Georgette Heyer's mystery novels that I have read.

And it does, in a sense, with luck and accident and inspiration thrown in. + + +8188 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 All the stories are so different in character, but well told in an intimate way that it is easy to drift in and become one with the characters. The settings are interesting and watching the thinking of the various characters is almost hypnotic to me. +5417 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It's my paper.

Also why was he making out with said ex? As someone else commented: why would the author even involve the ex's in this story if the situations weren't going to be resolved. That was very annoying. He just wanted her to trust him on things and accept, but what he was asking was what she had lived with all her life and she didn't want a life like that. +Book one book did a pretty fair job setting up Catrin as a character in my mind. For a female MC, she is very relate-able and can be tough if the situation calls for it- though she has her annoying moments (as do all book characters at one point or another.) She was interesting and I enjoyed watching her grow throughout the book as she adjusted to all the new changes in her life. While some aspects of the book progressed too quickly, others lagged. But for the most part, it was well- paced and I enjoyed the new characters and places as they were introduced. I especially loved the world created by the author. Very original with an interesting blend of dark and light. Fantasy characters are always a joy to read about, and these characters were no exception. I may have had a small problem really clicking with the supporting characters, but I still enjoyed them. +And boy oh boy does this book have sharp elbows. It is a bitter little pill of a novel. Just like its main character, it resists sympathy and identification. Enright uses fantasy, disjointed narrative, unpleasant people doing unpleasant things-- pretty much every device that you can imagine to force the reader back outside the text. It makes for such a strange combination because she writes with such lyrical prose and such a delicate hand that you expect to find the book yielding. The contrast is very interesting, but in the end I am not sure how successful The Gathering really is-- largely for that reason. +"He evaded the wild rush of Don Carlos, sprinting across the room so lightly that his soft boots made not the slightest noise to give news of his whereabouts.

This book is the first of the series, but wasn't published in that order. I can see why. If anyone else, that likes this series would start with this book, they would most likely stop with this book too. I think it's supposed to be a comedy, and does have a few funny parts to it, but not enough to make me want to buy another book in the series.

I'll be buying the next book in the series as soon as I post this review. Highly recommended. +3067 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I was pleasantly surprised by this novella. It's a quick read and the rather long synopsis above says it all: War. With supernatural beings. Much of this novella hinges on a very epic battle that reminded me so much of the awesome battle scenes on screen in the Lord of the Rings movies. Those were amazing scenes, and Thayer aptly paints a riveting picture of a very different battle raging, in this novella, at the gateway as warriors fight to close the portal and keep evil at bay. Some will perish, some will triumph, and some will get away in this awesome fantasy novella that sets the stage for the full novels in the series. Based on this novella alone, I'd be more than willing to try the first novel in the series, even though I'm not really much into fantasy, as it were. + +I enjoyed and admired The Gift of Rain, but I preferred Tan Twan Eng's second book, Garden of the Evening Mists.

If you are looking for a quick tale of lust with LOTS of sexually explicit language, go for it! If you are like me and don't mind a good sex scene as long as it means something, than this book will be just as disappointing for you. It was a short book, author's writing style, not bad. Premise not so bad, but for me the lust never really evolved for me. Hero started out as a rich selfish bastard, and did not change enough for me.

The so called sensuality is totally missing and and erotic parts of the part are about as exciting as reading a manual on putting a bookcase together....very mechanical. The plot was good, but the presentation very poor. There were no redeeming qualities in any character, and I kept thinking I must have missed a page and went back to re-read trying to figure out what was going on.

But it was The Facebook that really took off, spreading quickly through the Harvard student body. Then, Zuckerberg and co-founders Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin rolled The Facebook out to other schools. In 2006, the site was expanded to the non-school population. +It's short but for the few hours you get to read it there's a lot of heavy breathing and your heart will definitely be through the roof. It was kind of funny that at certain times I was checking to make sure nobody around me was looking at my tablet screen. And then I couldn't put it down and had to sneak a few lines while I was driving. +So you see the author is not attempting to rewrite Pride and Prejudice or give it a sequel. Even if you are critical when it comes to fiction about Jane Austen or Pride and Prejudice, I think you will enjoy this book emensely. I will issue a warning that some of the language and the style are not like that of Jane Austen. I enjoyed how even though the two main characters met on a ship, certain events or converstations took place that also took place in Pride and Prejudice. For example, the discussion of an "accomplished lady," or Charles Bingley's letting of Netherfield Park. + +1288 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A book that sticks in your craw. Sometimes elegant and absurd, often poignant, I still would not call it great. My Spanish is high school level and I can only assume that much of the vocabulary he used in Spanish (and there was a fair bit) would have shocked the pantalones off my teachers. To a non-Spanish speaker it ultimately became grating. The political commentary was a bit heavy-handed, but did serve as a second-layer backdrop for the story. The footnotes were too reminiscent of David Foster Wallace to feel fresh. Good, but not great. +Side note: Dakota Flint paid an homage to James Buchanan, a supporting character on the novel was reading The Good Thief and was enthralled by the story. +That this might indeed prove to be the case does not bother me in the least. However, if the concept of "interaction-at-a-distance" is to be a robust idea, then the interactive effects must be observable not just at the ZPF, or Planck level, but also must be robust above the noise level. Otherwise one could easily argue that the author's demonstration of "interaction-at-a-distance" reduces to so much trivia. +HER DAKOTA MEN takes readers on an emotional journey along with the characters as each comes to grips with their feelings and what they mean for their future. Stacy's generous nature and love for the ranch and everyone who resides there really touches your heart even as you wonder how she could be such a sweet person when her father was so mentally abusive. Wolfe, Cash and Travis are wonderful men who want nothing more than Stacy's happiness - and for her to stay at the ranch. They're all dominant men by nature and their interactions with Stacy are beyond scorching. Leah Brooke is a fairly new author, but she's definitely secured herself a place on my auto-buy list. + +5973 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 An urban paranormal novella about an internal investigation within a werewolf pack concerning murder and forced conversions.

Ms. Scottoline seems to bring her three-dimensional characters to life, and make the concept conceivable. +I hope you enjoy the novel as much as I did. +The book is not without its flaws but it is well worth reading for those who want to know more about the development and impact of one of the most popular internet sites in the world. + This is the first story in which the character of Zorro was introduced. Unlike the movie version, at the start of the story he is already a well known brigand sought by the governor and commandante. The plot line is a simplistic one that most people are aware of through the movies and TV shows. Still it is fun to read this story written in a simpler era with simpler values and virtues. Can Zorro save the lovely senorita from the commandante before her "lips are polluted by his kiss"? Gosh, I sure hope so. (But I'm sure you already know the answer.) This is just such a fun book to read. +This month, I downloaded The Cold Dish to my kindle and decided to grant my father's request. I can laugh now at the thought of missing out on a such a wonderful story but I tell ya, having my dad rub it in my face for a week was not as enjoyable as the book. +4182 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Not everyone does what they are passionate about, but Sara has engaged her energy into eliminating food wastage and feeding the hungry in San Francisco.

It certainly made me a fan of the author (I just bought his other book). + + +Belle's all for starting her life at Rick's side but she's not at all ready to take on Gina and her demands for full protocol. Fortunately Belle isn't afraid to fight for what's hers and if that means taking on one conniving bitch then she'll use every means at her disposal to ensure that she comes out on top. Rick is aware of just how devious Gina is and he's willing to take whatever steps necessary to ensure that Belle's transition into the pack is as smooth as possible and that she be allowed to recuperate before facing Gina and her challenge. He shouldn't have worried. Even being unable to shift, Belle is more than capable of facing down Gina and she does it with such style that you'll be left with no doubt that this `cat' is far superior to the `dog.' Belle's the perfect match for Rick, but what will happen when Gina's plans push Rick and Belle into making decisions that could have disastrous results? +1689 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The mweb (magical web) was created by Necessity. It connects all the infinite worlds of probability. Without it, the multiverse would be like a hard drive without a directory. Ravirn was designed to maintain it. He is a hacker and sorcerer. He WAS the prince of the middle house of Fate. In fact, the Fates are his great-aunts. These three are not the old hags most humans believe. They are more like Amazonian-to-the-extreme huntresses. Clothos is the spinner of life threads. Atropros wields the shears. But it was Lachesis who revoked Ravirn's name and cast him out of the family. Interestingly enough, Clotho declared him a legitimate force for chaos and gave him the new name of Raven. A name he HATES. +I highly recommend this book if you need a lift and your life has gotten way too samey and inside a box...

Make Mine Midnight is a great book and I read it in one sitting. Well worth the price and opened me up to to the author, who I adore! The characters are well drawn and there is enough of a substantial story so you're not just reading about a three-way and moving from sex scene to sex scene. Although, with the scenes as hot as they are, that wouldn't be a bad thing at all. +Touching Lace is steamy and sexy. The Vaughn family is wonderful and I love Lacey's overprotective brothers. Nick is just the man to stand up to them and show them he is the one for Lacey. When Lacey first starts to see Nick in a new light, it is explosive and I love it. Nick and Lacey steamed up my computer screen and I love a good friends-to-lovers story. Lacey fights it, but she is no match for Nick when it comes to him winning over her heart.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. It is filled with romance, life threatening danger, hot hot hot mating and alpha shifters learning to shift for the first time. There is also an evil villian that you love to hate. Be sure to pick up this book and the rest of the books in the series, you will be very very glad that you did. +6728 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 In some ways, a short story is harder to write than a novel - especially for a story like this one that is fantasy/science fiction. I thought the author did a good job of introducing her world - there wasn't an explanation of why civilization collapsed, was the problem confined to the U.S. and other questions, but there didn't really need to be (at least for the story's purposes. I would like to see more explanation in the trilogy). The 2 main characters were interesting enough that I cared what happened to them. The writing style was easy to follow If a bit simplistic.

However, rescheduled accommodations and seasickness has Kim thinking this impulsive escape to diagram a new future is a terrible idea until he discovers that his roommate is the sexy dive master Shane McCormack. The close quarters on the ship and the mutual attraction, is the perfect setting for a vacation fling. +9927 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was an in-depth and fascinating account of Facebook from creation up through to 2010. The author spent a huge amount of time actually hanging out at the company and interviewing dozens of people to piece together the well-written account that you get here. While the author isn't afraid to criticize Facebook, this is an authorized book (though the author stresses in an interview that its content wasn't approved by the company) and one gets the sense that he was so awed by the company and the people working for it that he is a little biased towards them. But, he only gives the impression that he feels so warmly towards them because he was so impressed by them. +Ex-Special Forces operative and owner of Turner Industries, Kyle Turner III, knows everything there is to know about Aislinn. He's had her carefully investigated and he's perfectly aware that she never stays in one place for more than eight months because of her abusive ex. She's been his personal assistant for the past six months and he'd desperately like to get to know her on more `intimate' terms.

As an example, Diamond points out that the Incas were captured by a handful of Spanish conquistadors, in spite of their intelligent civilization. He continues to explain his theory, in which factors such as food production, animal domestication, and differences in germs and technology cause the balance of power against a lot of aboriginal societies. +7502 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Oh my, this was a very interesting premise for an extremely sexy book.

Her imagination and talent has created characters that have grown more defined with each addition to the Argeneau Vampire series. Going back and rereading from the beginning feels like visiting with old friends. Ms Sands continues to deliver entertainment that reaches out and grabs you from the first, providing an enjoyable escape from your cares and worries taking you to the fascinating world that she has created. I highly recommend this series for anyone looking for a fun romp through the immortal world of the Argeneau's with lots of humor, action and romance. +When they reach Tiburon Lily goes into the general store to buy some food and sees a bottle of honey with the exact picture of the black Madonna she has on it and asks about it. It turns out a group of local black women make the honey and they live in a crazy pink house. So Lily and Rosaleen go there to meet up with the Calander sisters: May, June, and August. There was a July, May's twin sister, but she died years ago quite tragically leaving May devastated and carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders and unable to cope. The sisters convinced her to build a wailing wall in which to place the things that bother her on a piece of paper into the crevices. June is a talented cello player and a school teacher who keeps turning down the principal's offer of marriage due to the fact that she was left at the altar years ago. June doesn't like or trust Lily. August is full of warmth and kindness and takes them in with open arms and teaches Lily the beekeeping business.

I read it in almost one sitting. I loved the characters, both in this world and the other. And in the in, everything fit together perfectly. I loved the ending too, though it was slightly cheesy. Just slightly, mind you, and the rest of the book more than makes up for it. And it had interesting cover art. +4328 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 AAMilne is one of my all time favorite authors.

Look at the legacy that the 20th century left us - two failed ideologies, fascism and communism. And yet when you look at the two, in practice they weren't that different. Communist Russia, Vietnam, Cuba, North Korea, all became totalitarian regimes under the guise that they were doing it all for the working man. That may not have been Marx and Engels' plan but that was certainly what happened and their convincing (to others that is, I certainly wasn't convinced by any of the empty arguments) arguments led millions of people to their deaths and inadvertently changed the world for the worse, hence my view that "The Communist Manifesto" is demonstrably not a great idea.

It was amazing in awful ways. +Doyle has become a novelist in the course of writing these three books, rather than simply the creator of brilliant dialogue within sketchy stories, as we see in the first two novels. His writing acquires greater depth here, and his roots in this neighborhood and his identification with it are obvious. The three novels, taken together, show the literary evolution of one of Ireland's fine modern novelists and presage Doyle's international success and his Booker Award for Paddy Clark Ha Ha Ha in 1993, just two years after this novel was published. n Mary Whipple +Erak is a Skandian Jarl and captain of the raider ship Wolfwind.

Each one had a special part to play and they were inter-woven into the story in a very heart warming way. +Based on subsequent reviews, I decided to give this another try. Glad I did! Good schedule of updates; informative content. It's a keeper! I'd give it 4 stars currently, but the system won't let me change the earlier rating. +If you are reading this book and your wife is reading "for women only," you may be in for a lovely time if you talk about the issues.

Personally, I am very annoyed by footnotes because they interrupt the flow of the story and lead me off on a tangent and then I have to find my way back and remember what was going on before this whole journey began. This book is FULL of footnotes at the beginning and that just spoiled my attitude for the whole thing. Once I passed the halfway mark, things were beginning to look up because the use of footnotes went down and the story started to bring itself together. The characters themselves are very interesting and it'll probably help you to know that it's not narrated by the author or Oscar; most of the time, it's narrated by another character, Yunior (think Great Gatsby). I didn't realize that until it was explicitly said around 1/3rd of the way through and that would have helped me understand what was happening so much better. The last thing I want to mention is the history. Some of this story takes place in the Dominican Republic and the author includes some history as well as some Spanglish. I don't really know a whole lot about the DR except for the fact that they're on the same island as Haiti and they speak Spanish there (and I got to practice my Spanish by reading this book so that was cool!). I found the whole history timeline to be really cool. It's definitely good if you have a basic background knowledge of the DR but Diaz fills you in on the more specific stuff. + +6911 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Good book and great TV series. + +As the swing between the two of them, there is also a swing in the timeline of the story: two storylines, one about them at 22 years old and one 5 years after. Something happened in the middle, and little by little, the first storyline give elements to the second to reveal a very dramatic truth, probably the only sad side of the story. Other than that, the story is very sweet, and very sexy: there are some sex scene between Hayden and Josh that are really good, enough detailed but not vulgar, the main feeling I had from them it was of tenderness; in it plays one other of the change of balance between Hayden and Josh, Josh can be the more experienced of things of life but when you narrow the focus on man on man love, it's Hayden the one with the knife by the handle, Josh is a total "virgin" and he needs to be lead step by step by Hayden. It's important for Hayden, it gave him strength and courage; after this experience, nor Hayden, or Josh, or the reader, has any doubt of who the real Alpha is. +Magic Study finds Yelena reunited with her birth family, and on her way to learning to use and control her magic. Again, her choice is: Learn to use it, or burn yourself out, unless killed first. + +Let me start with a few warnings: Do NOT listen to this book while stuck in traffic! I found myself wondering if the cars around me would notice where my hands were drifting! The combined power of Gregory's panty melting voice and Jayne's sexy as hell writing there is no preventing it! And listening while at work is ill-advised as well. I had a very hard time paying attention to the spreadsheets I was working on. + + +This book documents the faults of some, but neglects to cover the Big Picture. The Ruling Class and its corporate aristocracy are neglected in this book. Carr does not even hint at the powers that use and then discard politicians and front men like Billy and others. When the puppets outlive their usefulness a new cast appears in their place. That's show business. Carr gives just a hint about earlier politicians, but not much political history before the 1950s (p. 21).

What was the award committee even thinking of when they shortlisted it from among possibly hundreds of other worthy titles ? What could they have seen in this rather unexceptional if not downright boring tale about a large damaged Irish family that led them to name it the best work of fiction for 2007 ? The Booker has been rather erratic in its choices in recent years. Unless this trend is arrested, it will become increasingly irrelevant in influencing what serious readers will eventually read. +733 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I am particularly partial to the "Book Review" section. I read the KINDLE + +9375 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this book. Even though Trick continually treated Grace really shabbily, there was such a vulnerability that you could not hold it against him. Between the great characters and some unforseen twists, this book is deserving of 5 stars!!!! +5011 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I had a hard time with this book. The narrative drove me crazy. Alex is suppose to be 29, but she comes out sounding like she's 15. And a very spoiled, annoying 15 at that. I also don't think I connected with her because her idea of heaven was a closest full of designer clothes and the perfect guy next door, because in Seventh Heaven you get exactly what you dreamed of. I did like the idea of earning her right to stay in Seventh Heaven, but not much of her story made me feel like she did deserve to be there. I did enjoy her reflections of when she realized she couldn't rely on her daddy to bail her out of trouble anymore. And I was impressed with her desire to move to the other side of the country to make something of herself. Overall, it was really just the main characters voice that I couldn't handle. Not sure if I will seek out something else by this author. +The main characters, Kiran and Logan are really the Norse Gods, Loki and Baldur. A major problem for me in the first half of the book was that I simply could not keep straight which character was which god and had what supernatural powers. I have read Federal Tax Laws that were clearer. While the Norse Gods concept was unique, it was also very confusing to the reader unless one was very knowledgeable about Norse mythology in the first place. The Norse mythology was also a little too much for such a short novel because it forced the author to find a way to introduce the different Norse Gods, their different powers and relationship to each other which just led to MAJOR bewilderment. Many times things were not clear until much later in the book when the reader was fed a little more background on the Norse mythology which then made a much prior passage make sense, somewhat, sometimes. The story might be interesting if reread after a "cheat sheet" concerning Norse mythology is made by the reader but quite frankly I still do not think I would be any more interested in the characters or story than I was the first time around. +In the beginning, I kept hoping she would escape, but, much like Alice herself, I later saw the hopelessness of the situation, and (even though I hate myself for it) I hoped her pain would end one way or another. While wishing she would die is terrible, it really shows how horrifying her situation is. +In fact, "life's not fair" is a recurring theme, provided that you accept "unfairness" as equal parts favorable and unfavorable. Abagnale's early escapades are fueled as much by unbelievably good luck as they are by his unflappable charm, bravado, and guile. While his primary scam involved being a pilot who didn't have to fly, he also stumbled into three legitimate jobs--albiet on false credentials--first as a doctor who didn't have to practice medicine, then as a lawyer who didn't have to practice law, and finally as a professor who DID have to teach, but who didn't have to know the material especially well. But his fortune would soon change, as at the end of his five year crime spree, he couldn't hole up anywhere in the US or Europe without being recognized.

This is also a rare occurrence in my romance book, to find such "Ultimate Love Story" that captivates your whole heart and soul when you reach the end! Put it kindly, This book is a keeper that I will read time and time again and never tire of it! This author has a gift in crafting her story-telling with words that show you images that go straight to your heart...This is a love story that stood the test of death and grew into a lasting love this author wrote with so much passion and heart and ultimately that "essence" was reflected in her characterization of both Hero & heroine! This romance has everything, action, suspense and love story that for those who like their romance to be the sole focus in the book, then look no Further! It pleased me immensely that the romance part was not overshadowed by other plots, but was a constant presence in the book and it allowed the reader to know both hero & heroine! The emotional depth was so well crafted, I was simply "mesmerized" with each word/actins both characters executed and I was glued to the pages not wanting them to end! + +Highly recommended. +In the beginning was the ...idea. That is Raymond Chandler decided that he had had enough of sweet parlor talk detectives filled to the brim with logical and deductive abilities to solve the crime, the crime of murder if you need to know, before noon and then lunch at the Savoy. Or alternatively solve the dastardly deed before dinner and then reminisce over after dinner brandies and cigars at the club. Nice stuff, nice except murder and its detection is not quite so simple and linear. In fact it is messy, daunting, and done sometimes for reasons that no logical parlor think could fathom. So Chandler once he decided that he needed to air out the room tried to give us a more realistic appraisal of what solving murder (or any crime for that matter) was all about in the real world. And more importantly what kind of guy, what kind of detective guy, and it was mostly guys in his time, could measure up to such tasks. +7252 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A monthly subscription to Reuters assures that I am kept up-to date on all the day's news.

Great for middle school or upper elementary readers who love war stories and heroes. +I really enjoyed the book, which is based on Ann Hoods own story of the loss of her child and the group of women she befriends at the knitting circle in an attempt to save her life. Each woman has their own story of loss and survival and this provides the inspirational factor in an otherwise sad story. + + + +Taken is a sexy and unique story. There is enough realism slipped in with the fantasy to make it believable. Caleb and Van would be simply irresistible to any woman. Anne baulks at what's happened to her but the beauty of Caleb and Van's world and their seductive loving persuades her. The only thing better than a sexy man taking you for his own is two sexy men taking you! + + +3103 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book is not a straight sequel in that only one of the characters from the first book is in it for any significant portion. As I read Shoe Addicts Anonymous quite a while ago, and all the characters didn't stick in my mind, the direction if this book was not a problem. The characters don't revolve around shoes at all, except to discuss how one's shoes can help a woman feel good about herself! Seriously the story gets into more depth about mistakes women may make, choices they live with, and the decisions they face as a result. Though some of the scenarios were not typical (sleeping with a male prostitute, blackmail due to a sordid past, becoming a phone sex operator, outlandishly weird dates), all in all, readers will be able to identify with the feelings the characters expressed. From low self confidence to fear of failure or rejection to achievement at doing something well, we all have been there at one time or another. + + +1662 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This whole "instantly recognizing your mate" thing -- I TOTALLY LOVE THAT! And the eyes and teeth "shifting" when emotions run high, very cool!! If you like the genre, you'll like this: family, loyalty, friends, and of course love and romance -- what's not to like? Throw in some decent wolf action, and bam! you've got a story. What I particularly liked about this one is that the couple is decided really quickly at the beginning. There are plenty of stories out there where you've got no idea until 6 pages from the end if the couple's even going to work or not, if the two guys even feel the same way about each other or not. This story's not about that. It's more about how to work together to solve a big problem - the Alpha - and I enjoyed it. +7953 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 UNLESS A BOOK IS PART OF A SERIES I DO NOT LIKE WHEN THEY REEL U IN SO U MUST BUY THE NEXT ONE BIG TURNOFF FOR ME + + +9315 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Takes some getting used to.

Though still weakened by the warmweed's toxic effects, Will employs his Ranger training to locate his friend, but an enemy scouting party has him fatally outnumbered. Will is certain death is close at hand, until Halt and Horace make a daring, last-minute rescue. The reunion is cut short, however, when Halt makes a horrifying discovery: Skandia's borders have been breached by the entire Temujai army. And Araluen is next in their sights. If two kingdoms are to be saved, an unlikely union must be made. Will it hold long enough to vanquish a ruthless new enemy? Or will past tensions spell doom for all? +There is so much here that is heart rending, and challenging; mostly for Evanline this time. We get to see who she really is as a person, not just as a princess. + +Still is was a really great read and I did not put it down once I started it. The combination of futuristic science fiction, paranormals, magic, super powers, erotic romance, suspense and danger with more to come in the sequels was an addicting combination, and I am looking forward to reading the next book. +I hope you enjoy the novel as much as I did. +The descriptions of the landscape of Wyoming and the setting are somewhat of a saving grace, but not enough to save the reading experience. + +4339 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 More poems for children, a couple featuring Winnie the Pooh characters. +2020 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Reading the whole series.

Unfortunately, for me, the original promise of the plot never quite materialized and in fact ended up being chaotic for me with an unexpected side-step into shape shifting halfway through the book. + +Rating: 5 + + + +The price point of $2.99 was excellent as well.

The characters, from harried Allie to quiet Betty to slightly scary Sally Jo, live and I found myself genuinely interested in their lives as the story unfolded. Smith is a good writer who ably crafts an enjoyable and yet realistic picture of a new mom struggling to reconcile her pre-baby and post-baby plans. +Becky moves in with an old friend Booker and his grandmother having left her house in anticipation of her marriage but again most believe they are lovers. Yet at no time do we hear anything about Becky being with multiple men, a couple of boyfriends but only one time do we hear that she left with someone only to be back two days later ****such loose behavior right??? Yet we hear how Josh has multiple conquests which is a source of pride for him, his brother, father, and even Becky's father just grins and pats him on his back. +5468 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Markhat is just a fun universe.

This Blessing! I high recommend this reading to be reread.... +1363 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, insulin resistance and diabetes. To say the least, I was shell shocked. I researched on the internet and tried so hard to figure out how to change my lifestyle. Honestly, I haven't done as well as I've wanted. I have lost 23 pounds since August, but I've stalled. And most days I'm so frustrated with "what to eat" that I only get in 800 calories, if I'm lucky. On top of this, I'm working out around an hour a day. And still I've stalled out on the weight loss. +6220 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved this story and am reading the whole series at this time! +In the famous "love chapter" in the Bible (1 Corinthians 13), the Apostle Paul implies that love should always be maturing. And when the Apostle Peter says that men should live considerately with our wives, he is really saying that we should live with ever increasing knowledge of them. For Men Only is really helping me do this, and I believe it will help any other men who are serious about continuing to understand their wives better so they can love them more deeply. +6.

A pleasant little read, but have "Cry Wolf" close at hand. +Anita Shreve's account of one man's fixation on fully possessing a woman he can never truly know, understand or be loved by is fraught with passion, perfidy and pain. + + +I also found the vampires' fangs were really strange in this book. I'm used to them being used to puncture the humans' veins for them to feed, but in this book they seem more like straws. When they drink bagged blood they put it on their teeth and suck it down. I thought it was pretty weird myself. +I have already given too much info....... Just buy this book!!! You will not be sorry, except for it to end! +The characters are real, and the worldbuilding is great! This author is one to watch. Read it. +3983 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 What's interesting about this book is the positive messages it provides about seeking success. Contrary to what we are taught in economics about accumulating wealth, this book proposes not setting goals solely on acquiring money. Resources are as boundless as out imagination if we believe in our abilities to achieve our goals. What is amazing is that this book was written many years ago but it's words hold true today. +As for the romance, everyone knows the hardboiled, rough around the edges detective ALWAYS gets the classy dame. +In the first half of the book, as the pilgrims set out on their quest, the surreal horror of the Black Death becomes nauseatingly real, as the bubonic plague drives whole towns to despair and sends Ockham and his band into Hell to recover the Holy Grail and thus rescue the world from this calamity. The plague is almost by definition allegorical, and these early chapters resemble Andrzej Szczypiorski's Mass for Arras in their portrayal of a world gone mad. +4750 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another great book from John MacArthur! + +This is a beautiful story every romance reader and HEA lover should read. +8658 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I wasn't sure I was going g to enjoy this book from the description given. However, I really did like it. + + + +Kyle's been very thorough in finding out all about Aislinn to the point that he even knows about her clairvoyant abilities. Kyle's decided that it's time to show Aislinn that the passion brewing between them is too powerful to ignore. Aislinn tries to deny him - and herself. She even turns down dinner with him, until he uses his ace in the hole and mentions that if she doesn't go out to eat with him then he'll have to go home and eat in his `lonely kitchen.' He has no doubts that the warning email came from Aislinn and isn't above using it to his advantage. It's obvious Aislinn is as attracted to him as he is to her but her fears about her ex are keeping her from even considering any sort of permanent relationship. Kyle's positive he can protect her . . . all he has to do is prove it to her. Simple right? Well, maybe not quite as simple as you'd think. +It's medieval days and Aislinn is seven years old but desires to be a knight and take her dead brother's place in the king's "army." Her little seven year old self takes a coach to the kingdom and presents herself to the king. She begins training to be a knight. There is math, reading and writing, horsemanship, archery, weapons, and swimming. Aislinn overcomes every obstacle in her path from a group of bully boys to an ornery horse. She makes friends with two boys, one of them the future king. As they grow up together in this school for knights, Aislinn and Prince Caelan fall in love. But Aislinn must focus on obtaining her knighthood (she is the first woman to attempt it in this kingdom) and Caelan must marry another. +There is no depth to his writing and offers no insight into James "Whitey" Bulger. Neither does it shed light on his relationship with those who worked for him. How and why did close associates like Kevin Weeks and Kevin O'Neill come to meet and work for Whitey? What are the consequences of Bulger's reign of terror on Boston and South Boston in particular? +8023 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 If you dream of a woman long enough does she become real?

Her first memory is of killing her mother accidentally by shooting her with a gun that she was trying to get to her while her parents are arguing as her mother, Deborah is packing up a suitcase. When Lily does something that her father, T. Ray doesn't like he makes her kneel in a pile of uncooked grits that leave cuts and bruises on her legs. After her mother died T. Ray brought in a black worker from the fields named Rosaleen to take care of the house and Lily. Rosaleen is aggressive and not prone to keeping her mouth shut when she should, but she acts as a surrogate mother to Lily. +7189 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Jane Porter is into Dom/submissive relationships.

She is about to find a surprise that she was not expecting. Informative reading for adults; sexual content involved. Jo-Ann D. +5466 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Just read all of this author's books. They are all wonderful and make you feel ashamed for paying so little for so much work and talent. +6937 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I didn't think I would like this book because I was expecting a book that only men would enjoy. Far from it. I don't see how anyone could not enjoy this action packed mystery with some funny and sweet thrown in. And the strong friendships that Longmire has developed are heartwarming and touching. +7551 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Beyond the Darkening is a VERY good novella - quite possibly the best of that length I've ever read. There's a lot here that Kerry Allen could've made into a full-length paranormal romance (and still could at any time [hint...hint]), because her take on vampires and the world they inhabit is intriguing and TRULY fresh. My only serious complaint - though perhaps unfairly, I admit - and the only thing that keeps this being a full five star read for me is the length restricts the flow of good world-building and prevents a lot of development of character - and the romantic resolution seems rushed. I believe I read at the back of the kindle edition book that this was the first in a novella trilogy. I will be looking for those. 4.5 Stars overall and again, possibly the best Novella I've read at this length. + +2911 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 A weak h and a stupid H.

Very disappointing. +1070 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Good read... nicely tying characters in stories. Fun! + + + +Chandler termed this genre, as opposed to the more genteel Agatha Christy type of mystery, "realistic". Well, that's arguable. I don't know about you, but I don't ordinarily find dead bodies whenever I walk into an empty room, nor are the people who knock on my door likely to have guns in their hands, or even on their persons, so I question the "realistic" label. But these stories are good fun. The body count is rather high in most of the stories, and you can often figure out who the murderer is by eliminating the characters who get killed along the way. +2613 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the best Pride and Prejudice "what ifs?" I have read. I am a big fan of Jane Austen and very discriminating in other authors' stories. This one does an excellent job of giving us a different twist while staying true to the characters. The story line is exciting and romantic, giving you that wonderful sigh at the end. I was glued to the book from the beginning to the very end. I highly recommend this great read. + +9427 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I don't usually read political or religious based books as I prefer to escape from the world when I read , and I did not know this one was until I downloaded it and read it. I try not to read spoilers too much as I want to be surprised when I read a book, so I only glimpse at ratings. +However, I have one major reservation about this book, something that left a bad taste in my mouth when it was all over. First, let me make one thing clear. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round; I get that. Some folks want to read fantasies about taming the bad boy, bringing the alpha male to heel, or even being submissive to a dominant man; that's their choice. What I don't like is when an author gussies it up as though they have to defend that fantasy and make it "justifiable." And that's how this book comes across, in a really big way. Kadan is extremely domineering, and while Tansy has just enough spine for the author to be able to say, "see? She's a strong woman, really she is" (as Kadan and Tansy insist on pointing out to the reader on a number of occasions), one kiss from Kadan and she becomes "pliant" and "obedient" (yes, words used within a page of one another to describe Tansy's reactions to Kadan). +Some of Daves advice is hard to follow; not that its morally challenging or anything, but hes very up front that retailers, advertisers, even your own friends and family may work directly against your plan of action. But you have to stay strong and remember why you're making this drastic change, so you can break this endless cycle that Americans find themselves immersed in. +2499 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Beautiful book of the stories that were my children's favorite, now a gift to grandchildren. +7944 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Kaylee and her best friend, Emma, chatter excitedly as they peruse the packed mall. Happily, they shop, making plans for the big homecoming dance. Without warning Kaylee begins to tremble and sweat as panic and fear assault her senses. Deep inside she can feel the scream beginning to swell, building and pushing to break free to pierce the air. Desperate, Kaylee gasps for Emma to help her. Quickly, the two girls dash down the corridor and take refuge among the brightly colored, towering stacks of bath towels in a department store. Scared and shaking Kaylee slowly gains control, until the frail, boy in the wheel chair turns the corner. This time she cannot stop the impulse and her shockingly, loud scream reverberates through the air. A wave of tremendous sadness washes over her and tears stream down her cheeks. She falls to her knees unable to cease the deafening wail emanating from her lungs. Clawing at her throat and gasping for air until the fog appears and she falls into blackness. Frightening images flee through her mind and then she wakes to a nightmarish reality. Kaylee is restrained to a bed in a cold, windowless room. Her limbs ache and her voice is raw. Where is she? Kaylee discovers that fifteen hours flew by while she lay shackled and unconscious in the mental institution. Is she crazy? Kaylee navigates around the dire, confines of her new surroundings. Her typical, teenage wardrobe is now sparkly, sweat suits minus the drawstrings ( to prevent hangings) and soft, fuzzy socks. Time is spent, avoiding group therapy sessions and completing crossword and jigsaw puzzles, while her mind plots a way out. A strange girl with mesmerizing green eyes watches her every move. At last Kaylee is on the brink of gaining her freedom when terror rips through her. Again the howling festers and swirls in her throat, threatening to explode out of her, no matter how hard she clamps her jaw. Lydia, the green eyed girl grabs her hand and tugs her down the hall. Inexplicably, Lydia manages to halt the ear splitting howl but at what price? Why is Kaylee unable to control the intense and powerful screams? + +3901 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 When we first see Jake in Without Reservations (an all around great book!) we see a sensible, mature man willing to wait for his destined love.

The fact is that we have a written Constitution and a process for changing the Constitution to prevent the kind of power grab the courts have made in recent decades. Yet, because of the abdication of the legislative branch and, to a lesser extent, the executive, the courts today reign and rule. +reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed +Some of the characters lack depth. Maybe they will be developed more in the other books of the series, though? +First, I really don't like when a book goes from zero to one hundred in the first few pages. Martha and Silas were having sex before you even knew anything about their personalities or could form any kind of emotional attachment. Silas remains pretty two dimensional throughout. There was no build up, no flirting, no draw to help you feel the chemistry between them it was disappointing, and there were so many steamy scenes in the beginning that I started skipping through to get to the meat of the story. +1974 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My Mom bought me this series and I love it. I am reading the whole series. I am 11 and loved the Hunger Games too but this was better. This one was one of the best. + +Nina Blackman is one of those people who wallows. She wallows in how poor she is. She wallows in her history. She wallows in her absolute misery with herself and who and what she is. And this is before she was turned into a vampire. She knows she is a miserable creature. She knows she is absolutely miserable. She knows she visits this same misery upon everybody who comes into contact with her. How do I know this? Because she goes on and on and on about it interminably. +1467 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Thw movie was great but the book surpasses it by a long way! For a book about slavery and the south, this author tackled some very heated and debatable topics...and did it in style! The characters were fleshed out so perfectly that you felt like you were part of the story! If you're looking for an easy read that lets you get lost in the story, this is highly recommended! +Good Christmas story.

Prose is lovely - smooth, rich, vibrant without being over the top. Hot scenes with Lanyon are always hot and male and no funny strange words or odd moments that were not supposed to be there. I agree with Segwick when he says James is confident about sex - in general that's what comes off in Lanyon's books I've read so far - the scenes are part of the story, an extension of the character and the plot - not an extra thrown in to qualify for erotic. I did have a bit of a hard time getting into this one. Of course the parallel's to Christmas Carol are here and welcomed. + + +The range of articles is wide, much like thumbing through a magazine or Sunday newspaper supplement, with something there for just about anyone.

She goes through so many of the same feelings I've felt along the way to becoming a work-at-home mom and it was fun to follow along on her journey. She knows it can be done and goes for it with her whole heart. What a fun read! +Little Fuzzy looks to be a "paid by the word" novella. It could have been written in about one quarter of the words and space used. The story is cute and well meaning in that what do we consider sapient. I have learned that this is an author I will steer clear of. It seems they sure did a lot of smoking and drinking in those days.

The author tried to give us a background that would allow for this and to an extent it did but being that he had only know Jenna for a short time I can't figure out why she would want him. He kept acting like a jerk and at one point he left Jenna waiting in a parking lot even though he knew she was in danger because he was too busy throwing another tantrum.

I really enjoyed the set up of the main characters, retired police chief, living with a gay friend and working with the local police force on a consultancy basis.

His focus on one Catholic family of eight people reveals the strengths which enable them to survive and even thrive. With the pub as family's social center, we see the characters' attitudes toward sex and childbirth, their "escapes" from the workday, their daily amusements and sense of humor, and their lack of concern with the dogma of the church. Both humorous and touching, the novel shows Doyle's growth from a writer who depends on neighborhood atmosphere, quirky dialogue, and fast-paced humor for effects to a writer who is willing to convey warmth and build sincere feeling for his characters. n Mary Whipple +So much for history.

If you're familiar with the traditional market for Christian romances, this is not tame enough to be termed Christian. There's stuff in here that would be deemed offensive. Though the hero and heroine never went all the way, they did go pretty far, and since Christian romances don't go beyond the kiss and some readers thinking necking is "lustful", I don't know if I'd recommend this book to women who are uncomfortable with nudity and touching body parts that are usually covered. (For me, this is not a problem, but since I've seen some reviews by women who expected a very clean Christian romance and got upset with "necking", they won't like this book.

Things between Charles and Anna don't get much further than beginning interest (no insta-love) but it was done well and you can see the starting of a connection between them and Anna feels safe with Charles and that's something she hasn't had since she was turned. There are a couple encounters with some of the bad werewolves and a final confrontation in which the mystery is solved and the bad guys are taken out. The story ends with a possibility of a HEA (which will come about in the continuing series) as Charles asks Anna to move to Montana with him so they can explore a possible relationship together (their human sides that is, since their wolves are already there). +9075 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 ,The quality of Vaughns writing has progressively deteriorated.

In his introduction to The Fragile Stone, Card describes a visit to a church in Romania. There, Peter is depicted as robust, rugged, and strong. Card grew up with a different image instead of Peter. He viewed Peter as being as capable as any of us has showing impetuousness and being weak. The reality, Card goes on to contend is that Peter was far more complicated than either portrayal. While Peter certainly lived up to his title of being the Rock upon which Jesus would build the church, along with being hot-tempered and passionate, Peter also remained entirely dependent on Jesus as his Master. In trying to find a true picture of Peter, Card searched the Scriptures, as well as talked to Catholics and to Protestants. Yet Card fully admits that some of what he writes is guesses. Still, his hope remains that in gaining a better understanding Peter, we might also realize a fuller awareness of Jesus, which is the ultimate goal of every Christian. +The author does go over the history of the creation of this magnificent work of art but that is almost secondary as the information he shares can be found elsewhere. No, it is the way the author tells us the story that is important. Had this work been in the form of poetry we would call it an ode. As it stands the author's prose takes us completely into the world of the book and we actually feel it as the author writes. Even when technical aspects such as color, drawing techniques and the like are address, it is presented in an almost poetic manner. I must admit that as to the colors used by those old monks I learned much from this essay. +James is one of the chief doctors in the emergency room at a London hospital, with a strict rule of never mixing his personal life with his work one.

They're all good reads, lots of fun (if a tiny bit predictable after the third or fourth one), and I'd call them delightful brain candy. But one would think that an author characterized as a "New York Times bestseller" would rate a bit better editor and proofreader than these books rated. In other words, there are errors that detract from the reading experience as far as I'm concerned. Granted, I'm a bit of a "grammar nazi," and I freely admit this. But come on; with the price of books these days, do we as purchasers and readers not deserve better than to read offerings that include errors such as the use of "past" when the context indicates that "passed" is correct? (No, the two words are not interchangeable.) Equally, the author's use of "he and Joe" in place of the correct "him and Joe" is disturbing. Equally disconcerting are the number of comma errors throughout each of the books, print or electronic. So read the books, enjoy the stories, but don't depend on them for improving your grammar.

It has one of the best last sentences of any novel I have ever read." Al Kennedy goes on to say that "mortality becomes the ultimate definition of Love's stupidity - an outpouring of energy towards people who are always destined to disappoint, to be disappointed and, above all, who are compelled to leave us in the most devastating way, by dying.

She creates a dark and tortured, but oh so appealing character in Ryder. I loved how the book opens with him in prison and it's not clear where things go from there. It gave me a sense that this was not going to be the average predictable historical romance. Ryder had a lot of depth to his character and I could feel his pain. When Jessie comes into the picture, their chemistry explodes and the sex is off the charts hot. At about 3/4 of the way in, I thought things dragged a bit as they were both reluctant to disclose their feelings for each other and their lack of communication became frustrating.

For the purposes of this review, I will not add any personal feelings on the matter but let Levin's book make its own points. + + + +2011, 5stars-favorite-must-read-again, adult, anthology, blogged, facebook, fiction, must-read-asap, new-adult, paranormal, ratings-generic-reviews-collection, read, romance, series, series-preview, series-spin-off, short, twitter +The overall plot was intriguing and original. The storyline did get a little long-winded at times, with about thirty percent of the book being unnecessary to the plot. I do prefer my novels to be a little more tightly written and with a faster pace. There were just too many scenes that did not contribute to the storyline. +5046 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Although I'm very familiar with the movie, I have never read the books. This is a completely different story when you read the original. I'm loving the first book and look forward to the entire collection. + +I wish I honestly give this book 5 stars. However, it relied just a little much on coincidence and plot twists you could see a mile away. How is it that EVERYONE at the circle has a compelling sad story? Aren't some of them just there to knit? The twist that finally brought the narrator to visit her mother was not much of a surprise---I knew it was coming. Even the surprise the mother has to tell was something I had guessed. +5245 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 still reading it, most helpful hints ever. +3129 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent transaction. Item as described and fast shipping. Thank You. +4997 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The price is good for the Word of God. I read it every day. It's wonderfully priced. It's easy to navigate, and take to church. It's a must have. + + + + +3865 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 After reading all the 5 star reviews I expected at least a somewhat decent story. This book is one of the dumbest I've ever read. The indian hero wants to take the white girl captive but can't because it might ruin trade with a passing wagon train and cause his village to get attacked....what? So for several days they just keep sneaking off to have sex and nobody notices. Then on the actual day of the trade the indian's white aunt who used to be a captive comes with the indians and none of the white people raise a fuss about them having a white woman. The white aunt then convinces the entire wagon train to let the girl marry the hero in the spirit of promoting peace between both people. The prejudice white people not only allow it, there's a priest on hand who willingly performs the ceremony and then and there and they live happily ever after. The whole story was idiotic and contrived. +6192 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was my first Lena Matthews book and I've got to say she's got a fan for life. The characters were amazing and the book was realistic enough even though we all know things like this don't happen everyday. This is a great book for anyone who wants a little fantacy with there reality. + +Told from the perspective of the main character in the series, Kaylee Cavanaugh, it gives readers a short glimpse into her life prior to her discovery of who and what she is. In this story both readers and Kaylee are unaware of just what is wrong with her and why she has debilitating "panic attacks" that cause her to scream uncontrollably, to see things that shouldn't be there, and that leave her hoarse, terrified and questioning her sanity. +3117 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Very thought provocative. I am trying the link and balance method. It just makes sense. If you think you may be sensitive, there is a self test which is of great help. +The sex scenes are truly dreadful. They contain such gems as "The sight of her pale blonde ruff and the deep pink, inner lips framing her entrance, took his breath away." and "The slick, wet sounds they made as they came together were just nasty enough to thrill her, and the familiar musky scent and feel of the man working above her smoothed away the edges from her earlier unrest." The language was on par with free erotic shorts and the imagery anywhere from puzzling ("working?" really?) to gross, but never erotic. It lacked the subtlety, the tension building and feeling necessary to convey attraction or arousal. Ostensibly these are people who love each other, yet, beyond saying the words to each other, they do nothing to show me love exists here. +5551 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good read +Re-read Value: 3 - 50/50. I thought it was sweet, but do not know if I will re-read it. There is a chance though, so I will not put a lower rating. + + +9677 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was my first time reading this author's work and I must say that I enjoyed it. Very good story from beginning to end although I thought it ended to soon for me I would have loved to see how the trail went in the end but otherwise very good book. I loved the realism that the author put into the book that tragedy's that most people only associate with women could also happen to men such as what Josh and Hayden went through it was hard to read it but this was something that does happen and to understand the bitterness and dislike Hayden had for Josh the author had to take you back in time to where it all took place. A lot of misunderstandings, hurt , heartache and anger was in this book but there was also a good love story in there as well that shows you how true love conquers all. +2245 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Once you get past the dated language and examples (early 20th centrury), this is a very good book for focusing you on making money (or accomplishing most anything else in your life). +6181 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 it was slightly confusing how to get to different portions of the paper.... but once i figured it out, it was easy. +6916 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really like watching the Longmire series on Netflix and when I checked it out author Craig Johnson's books are highly rated. So, of course, I had to read at least one! Glad I did! The book is grittier than the series and the ending of this book was especially surprising. The author doesn't hesitate to show the characters with all of their flaws making it much more realistic. I also like how he weaves in Native American stories, beliefs, daily-life situations on the Rez, and the all-too-common racism that they face. (The author talks mainly about the Northern Cheyenne in Wyoming.) I especially appreciated the many examples of very dry Native American humor written into the story and usually said by Henry Standing Bear. I will definitely move on to the next book in the series.... +9492 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I am an aviation nut, and read everything aviation-related I can get my hands on. I also like a good thriller. While this novel has elements of both, the writing is in a style of a high school junior. I've read that the author edits books and teaches creative writing for living - I thought I was reading a book by somebody else; I had to double check. +1997 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love this series. They are fun to read and the story flows nicely. Nice humor dispersed throughout the book. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the price that is being charged for this book compared to similar quality books on Amazon. +A sweet, super sexy with danger, action and a HEA. +1965 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 good book. characters develop. + + +1960 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have only one complaint...

Great story but overuse of the word "gasped". +2269 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I am very happy with my purchase. +Penny was being The one they wanted to kill +7611 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I felt the book was a little slow getting started, and I had just started to get into the story when it was over. It didn't have a strong hero that I could get behind and root for, and this made it difficult to lose myself in the story, since I didn't really care what happened to them. It was also very short and had no resolution. Presumably this will be resolved later, as there are at least 5 parts to this story. Since I already 'bought' the next installments, I'll keep going, and I hope it will resolve. +She is Episcopalian, and her sexual identiy as a lesbian (which she retains after her conversion) is peripheral to her story about feeding hungry people. She ministers to "the poor, the weak, the sick and the lonely", and the book chronicles how all this comes about. +Several malicious, cruel and scheming characters keep the drama moving through to the end. +By the time you reach the middle of this book, the pages turn furiously. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next, but at the same time I hated to see this book be over with. Steve Peek has a real talent for writing, and I look forward to seeing what he comes up with next. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a complex mystery with a measure of terror and truly original and unexpected twists. + +5318 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is financial step one:Start the journey.

I have only made 4 car payments in 8 years(I have the cash to pay it off whenever I choose)and have had almost zero credit card debt in 8 years.(A divorce set me back for 5 months).When I started listening to him I was BROKE.This is a great beginners book in personal finance,it can show you the way out of debt. +6997 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the forth Longmire book for me and this is the best yet!

Vivian Arend's Tidal Wave: Forces of Nature, Book 1- a light, lusty read with frolicking dolphins +6023 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a quintessentially American story that is both important and unforgettable. One reason it is important is that it affirms the adage: "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Another is that, the deep FBI and police corruption begged the question: Who guards the guards themselves? But also, no matter how distorted morally, this story is still somehow a perverse but generic template for ethnic "ghetto success:" Two brothers from a " "disposable" part of inner city Boston make good; one through "low hard crime" (Whitey was a serial murderer, bank robber, extortionist, and a "top echelon" FBI informant; while Billy, on the other hand, engaged in grafts and payoffs, illegal political procedural maneuvering, patronage, nepotism, "no show jobs," extortion, racketeering, sweetheart and unholy deals, arson and insurance scams, as well as political blackmail and business frauds.). The mantra of Boston corruption at the time was: "Nothing on the level; every thing a deal, and no deal too small." +9521 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I've been indulging in quite a few indie books lately.

I gave in. I read it. Then, I read it again. Yes, it was that good. +dray +The only part of the story that I thought was a little weak was the ending. It wraps up really quickly and there is no epilogue, so I finished the book feeling like I got robbed of my happily ever after. I also wished for a little injection of humor in parts of the story, particularly from Llew's two brothers. Lastly, even though the fairy involvement is scattered throughout the story, I would have loved to read more about these characters and their world. +You won't be disappointed if you love stories with a mixture of romance and suspense. It will put you on the edge of your seats throughout the story. However, I wished there was a sequel to this story since I really want to know what happens next. I can't wait to try out another one of her stories! I love it! +2205 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I can't believe that I didn't read this book sooner. I have been studying the Law of Attraction for years.

I could go on and on about how lovely I think Elizabeth is... really she is one of a kind!! I chose Living Dead Girl to read first becuase while at TLA lots of the Librarians and the kids were talking about how much they loved the book... after reading -it was not at all what I was expecting!! This is a dark, and horrifying book! As a parent it makes you hold your baby that much tighter and never want to let them go! The saddest part of this book is the truth behind it, that this kind of sickness lives in our world. Scott writes Alice's gut wrenching story in such a very unique way! While I did not enjoy the actual story I can appreciate the writing style and did not want to put the book down! You definitely become invested in Alice and want to know how her story ends... it is true-It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget!! I will recommend this book to age appropriate people. +8445 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A good light-hearted murder mystery with a bit of romance thrown in.

An amazing pnr read full of emotion and some serious sexual steam. I can't wait to start on the next in the series. +4200 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 "A Perfect Hell" is a superbly written book detailing the creation of the First Special Service Force in World War II. As part of the lineage of modern day Special Forces, this unit is fascinating. The book begins with a detailed description of the creation of a hybrid U.S. and Canadian force specialized in arctic warfare during an especially bleak period of the war. It then details their brutal training and the period when the unit was caught in limbo. +Okay, it's more than three pages, but not by much. I downloaded this for free from Amazon for my Kindle. I'm sorry I didn't pay more attention to the reviews on Amazon, I won't be purchasing any more romantic "freebies" unless I pay attention to what I'm really going to be getting which is a very short PART of a short novel. + + +I liked how the author split the focus between the two teams.

When her shock clears, she's faced with another life altering decision and returns to her small California hometown to care for her ailing mother. Her life is getting back on track and Gwen is relieved until she literally bumps into a handsome and sexy stranger who will teach her sensual lessons she never knew existed. +J.C. Owen's books are well-written and very sexy. That said, this book isn't groundbreaking, but it was so much fun to read, I didn't care at all. Wonderful, yummy, fluffiness at its best. +8535 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a good read to pass the time. I'm not usually reading this genre, however, this kept not only my interest but also my curiosity going. +5128 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 In 1856 options for single women were limited especially a single woman with three children, no money and a heartless mother in law who was in a position to take her children. With no other options left to her, Widow Jessica Barton turned to the one person she felt could help, Teagen McMurray a friend she never met. Jessie knew she would be safe if only for little while on Teagen's horse ranch, so she packed her and her daughters' meager belongings and left Chicago for Texas and the Whispering Mountain Ranch. +What happens when your dream lover is real and you meet? Paranormal Payback shows just what happens when one group forces another to leave. Lorelie's planet has had to pay a very long time for a decision that was made by Earth. Sevan is a Commission Captain but he knows that if his family secret ever comes out, he will lose more than that. Lorelie and Sevan first meet in a dream plane and are highly surprised to discover that their dream lover is actually real. I saw how, at first, Lorelie tried to fight for what she thought should be. It showed me just how strong her loyality was. However, I really loved how Sevan was not going to let anything stand in the way of claiming his mate--not even her. The tangled ties of danger and passion were well done and kept me interested. The humor was a total plus. The ending proved just how strong both Sevan and Lorelie were at defending their love. Paranormal Payback is erotic and passionate while having threads of danger and humor that made it a keeper for me. I will be watching for the next book in this series. +8518 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have no idea who comes up with these stupid book titles. I was almost turned off but because it was free I downloaded it. So glad I did. It is not a long novel but the characters come to life in the book and their love for each other was very believable. It takes place in London. They met in med school. She got pregnant soon after they met so they married. She miscarried and because they were both young they misunderstood each other's grief and needs. Words were spoken, feelings were hurt, so she left him. You find that out as you read the book because the beginning takes place 10 years later after a huge wreck nearly costs her her life. She was taken to his hosp and they begin to piece together what went wrong. It could be a "boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy finds girl" but the writing puts you inside their feelings. I like this book and the HEA rings true. +2697 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I dind it interesting to see Elizabeth maintaining the fiction that she is engaged for Georgiana's sake, it really shows what a compassionate person she is. + +9401 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Although I'm usually not into to the stereotypical soft butch seducing the straight femme scenario, the sex scenes in this story were very hot. The power issue between student and teacher is always a huge turn on for me and that both women were above the age of consent made this a short story a guiltless pleasure. My only issue regarding this story was its brevity. This story is about a 20 minute read. I also preferred this story over Paisley Smith's other story, First Taste, which was much shorter and totally forgettable. +2945 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Oh hello, hello.....hello! + +Oscar's story is told in the context of his family and where he comes from. Therefore the novel's point of view shifts from him to others such as his sister, his mother, his college roommate and his maternal grandfather. Each story has merit but I find the narrative loses focus the more removed it is from Oscar's immediate world. +I cared about them all. Even Beli, who longed for escape - no matter where she was. +I tried a couple things and couldn't find a way to do it, some more illustrations would be nice to as it is called 'the illustrated guide...' +3906 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I like this book i reed it in one night, it had a lot surprises in it.

I don't usually like when one half of the couple seems to be contributing to the relationship more than the other half but, although Laine looks like the typical damsel in distress, he's also loving and caring and he tries somewhat to get himself out of the trouble he's in. +5156 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was one of my all time favorites. It gets better everyone I read it. I love the dark hunters. +This a free volume in a whole (not an entire book) +The comedy keeps you from taking the killings too seriously, so while there are some close calls, this is more of a light read than a bone chilling mystery. Of course, it has a touch or two of romance to liven things up. I look forward to Reading future books in this series. +I find myself fascinated by life in Ireland and the European stories that never make it into print here. Did you know that Switzerland thinks it's being overrun with German immigrants? Neither did I. + +4743 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 There isn't really much more to say. A wonderful little story told in a unique format that keeps the reader fully engaged. Well worth the read. +The only fault I found was the story of her lost twin daughters being told several times, yes, it did move the story forward but it could have been better condensed. +But what happened was not the collapse of capitalism, but its evolution. The fact that modern readers are as horrified by the conditions described by Dickens as Marx was speaks to the fact that capitalism and social progress are not mutually exclusive phenomena. The reality is that just as "pure" Communism has never been practiced, neither has "pure" Capitalism. Remembering that Adam Smith was as much moral philosopher as (political) economist, this is not so surprising. Indeed, it is interesting that of the ten policies clearly articulated by Marx in the Manifesto, a number of them (progressive taxation, strong central banks, free education, etc.) are in practice in capitalist societies around the world today. Some have argued that this simply represents the adoption of Marxist ideas into capitalism, but let's remember that Adam Smith advocated a progressive tax long before Karl Marx did. What's more important is the fact that disparate theories can apparently support strikingly similar policies. For me, I think it's important to recognize that all systems of social organization have their warts, and that all systems can learn something from the others: no single ideology has a monopoly on good ideas. +4628 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I like all of the books so far and am awaiting season 6 on DVD. I am excited to be able to read more about the series in these books. They compliment the series well. + +8681 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It was a cute story. I was so interested in their stories and feelings. And the end was absolutely adorable. +While Ranger's Apprentice borrows from already-established fantasy tropes, it has been marvelously popular with young readers of fantasy. John Flanagan's elevation of a ranger character, someone more gifted at stealth and marksmanship than brute force, has fleshed out an often-neglected portion of fantasy literature. His reliance on themes of loyalty, bravery, endurance and friendship leave young readers in safe hands as they learn to navigate dangerous waters on their own. +If you have a Kindle and like to read at all, and why do you have a Kindle if you don't want to read, I highly recommend giving this a try. I don't recall what I paid for it, but it's 14 full stories about Oz by the original author. Currently for less than a dollar. I have to adjust the size down one for this book, compared to most others, but that is a tiny complaint. + +I agree with the comment that gardenias would have been better raised in a hothouse than planted in the front of the manor. And by carrying that handkerchief around with him I would have expected many more people to have noticed and to then have commented about the flowery smell. I love the gardenia aroma but not on a man. That he didn't notice that smell on his own person when Georgiana planted it in his clothing for the wedding is probably unrealistic. He was not in Elizabeth's presence so from where did he think that smell was coming? +When a boy is kidnapped by her abusive pack, a terrified Anna finally dares to call the Marrok, the leader of all werewolves. He ends up sending his son Charles Cornick to deal with the troublemakers, and Charles is shocked when he realizes that Anna isn't a super-submissive wolf -- she's a rare Omega wolf, and the disgusting Leo and savage Justin have been abusing and molesting her all over the place. +The Bulger brother's crime wave thus could be rationalized as an existential avenue to societal revenge: a way of removing the ethnic chip on their shoulders by "thumbing their noses" at a society that had purposely dealt them a bad hand simply because they were lower class Irish. It was a way of calling Boston's illegitimate society to account through "power moves" already tolerated by Boston society, including crimes of all genres that terrorized the city of Boston for a generation. In short, this two-man crime wave taking place at opposite ends of the societal spectrum, proved both that the society that discriminated against lower class Irish was a "moral sham" and that lower class Irish (the Southies") were not deserving of their ascribed inferior status after all, but could play society's illegitimate games as well as (or better than) the next group. +6746 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was a re-read for me and was as enjoyable as the first time. Very good stories and characters that held my attention throughout. I am not a fan of 1st person type of narration, but was able to read these books easily, with only an occasional bit of aggravation. I do recommend this bundle.

Trouble is this DID NOT WORK for this concept, though. Norse mythology has an imposing cast of characters and implies nobility and power- yet it was thrown at you all at once, liberally sprinkled with trite humor. Not only did you have to figure out which god was which, but then you had to remember what their modern names were- who was related to who- who had what power- what they all had to do with our story! It was a mess. Truly a mess. It was MUCH better suited for a more serious book- a longer story where it could have unfolded better. +5720 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I didn't finish the book as it's written in the lengthy-description and ponderous style of the lat 19th and early 20th century. Not nearly as fast-paced or involving as Sherlock Holmes -- but good fair mysteries. +3903 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was a hot little number, Remi was a very strange character you don't want to like him because he is an ass but there is just something very likeable about him. The more we got to know about him the more I liked him. Stirling was a sweetie and the two of them made for a fantastic story. Jake was a great counter point to the both of them and I really liked him, this story ticked lots of boxes for me and I will be hoping to read Stirling's story very soon. + + +* Review Originally Posted @ SPARKS FLY Romance Reviews + +In the club, Lisa runs into an old friend - Leo.

So when Lisa brings both of them back to the home that Brett and Lisa share, I can definitely understand - and agree with - Brett's apprehension. + +6224 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoyed this book. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it was too short! I would have loved to read more, it seemed like I just started reading it, then I was already at the end, but it really was a good story. Def worth 99 cents! +Chandler wrote detective mystery stories, and became famous for seven novels and a number of Hollywood screen plays, mostly about crime and private detectives in the "film noir" genre of Hollywood black and white films, or what is called LA "pulp fiction". Far from being an ordinary writer of cheap crime stories, Chandler became one of America's best writers from the mid 20th century. His fame was of course helped by Bogat and Bacall starring in the film "The Big Sleep" based on Chandler's first novel. +3812 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 definitely interesting for fans of roman times. +She is running away after being expelled from school for something that really wasn't her fault. On the way down the road she runs into F'ryan Coblebay who is a Green Rider, he has been shot with arrows and is dying. He gives her a request to take a message to King Zachary. Karigan decides she will do this, she puts on his pendant and cloak and gets on his horse, which has a mind of his own. I love that horse. He's almost human! Accepting this request takes her on a hell of a journey hiding from mercenaries, being caught by mercenaries, being attacked by crazy, evil insects. There is just so much going on it's a wonder she even survives anything. +8719 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 have to have more readings like this my hole days are spent reading and enjoying you books my kids think their mom is crazy give me more i want more lol + +1250 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a uniquely written story and I loved how we saw through each of the characters eyes in the different sections of the book. I found it totally absorbing from start to finish. +9994 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was so good. Ms. Clare's books are always emotional and uplifting......I have read every I-Team books she wrote and each one is great. I would recommend this to anyone who loves uplifting stories. +This book was a dark read and it is not anything like FSOG--it's about Master/slave and about a Dom/sub. The story takes place at Judgment-a secluded fortress type mansion that holds hundreds of women captive and who will be sold into slavery. Callie first given the name Red because of her hair and later renamed Mischief by her Master was kidnapped and brought to Judgment. When Mischief arrives at the compound she fights her captives and pays the price. Her defiance earns her attention from Tane-the head Master-on her first night at Judgment. Her defiance continues as does his fascination with her. +Sometimes all it takes is one special person (preferably from the opposite sex) to make one see her self-worth. But when this one special person is someone you've feuded with your whole life, it doesn't happen overnight. Even though the reader can see they belong together, it takes them awhile to catch on! :) +7000 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I love Longmire the TV show, and I have to give it to the people that took this book and turned it into the TV show, because the things that I do NOT like about this book are NOT in the tv show - I like Branch Connely (TV) but I hate Turk Connely (book) - I like Ferg (TV) but I hate Ferg (book) -Walt is a confused, horny old man in the book, but on TV he has much more confidence - and Vick, well not a big fan of her on TV, but in the book, she is a contemptuous, disrespectful B*****. +134 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It started out good, slowed down and picked up again.

Their cold and loveless marriage had worked its charm over Lissy who has a strained relationship with her mother who tries to impose her bitterness about men, marriage and love on her daughter. The fashion editor at Denver Independent, Lissy had at first taken an instant dislike towards Will when they had first been introduced when Will had joined the staff of the paper as the new celebrity sports columnist. Thinking Will to be just another brainless jock with ridiculous good looks, Lissy had turned her nose at him only to have her whole perspective of Will do a 180 degree turnabout when Will helps her after she injures herself whilst out running. +Engels admits that they originally wanted to name it "The Socialist Manifesto" but due to extraneous reasons and that "mere revolutions were not enough" they settled on "Communist." +1. Kresley Cole's adventurous and intricate magical romance series (never mind the ridiculous title): A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, Book 1) + +6637 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this book about a kids going it (almost) alone in the wake of a mysterious catastrophe. I am a sucker for this genre and I do like the Swiss Family Robinson feel of these kids building a life for themselves in the Mountains. The idea of the Chief, ruling through the concensus of the group rather than brute force or cunning, was a refreshing departure in such tales. This is not a Mad Max, Lord of the Flies type of story so if that is your cup of tea, you may want to look elsewhere. The book does not lack for action but there are long stretches where the folks are just busy trying to stay alive and build their community, so be prepared for this. I for one would love to read a sequel to find out about Mike as a grownup. +Force of Attraction Bradi Janelle (Lorelei brother) and Marisa +Sweet Dreams picks up right where The Wallflower leaves off and I love it! Dana Marie Bell did not disappoint in this sequel. Sweet Dreams is just as hot, sexy, and funny as The Wallflower. +Dream Weaver (Dream Weaver Novels) (Volume 1) + +Max did something spectacular before birth, yet lost the details of it as he grew older. +AKA: The Oakleaf Bearers +I found myself chuckling several times and actually laughing at least twice while reading this thing. The tongue in cheek wit is catching in a subdued and subtle way...the author uses perfect timing when she uses her "punch line." But, as other reviewers have pointed out, there is a certain reality at play here and we get a very nice peek into the inside of a writer's soul...if that is what you want to call it. I was amused during most of the book, yet just a wee bit saddened and concerned at the same time. +The storyline: +1016 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have relied on BBC for many years for international news coverage. I have, however, longed for the more in-depth coverage that can be represented in an excellent newspaper. As I live in a rural area such newspapers have been prohibitively expensive and untimely. The International Herald Tribune solves all these problems with well-selected news and well-written editorials. +8205 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thoroughly enjoyed this series. The characters were fun and the relationships between them interesting. The new perspective on Atlantis was intriguing. I hope she writes more! +2407 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 For those who want to know history +650 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I kept wishing the author had given her total work the attention to detail that she has given to her sex scenes. They were the only fluid scenes in the book. Those were well written. Otherwise the plot was predictable and boring. The only surprises I had reading this book was the number of times Greg found himself tied to a bed or chained up. + + +3941 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the second time I have read this book. I learn something new each time. It inspires and fills your mind with a positive approach to life. + + +2213 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Bought this before buying the entire collection and was hooked on the wisdom that I will be revisiting again and again. Great price for so much information. + +8612 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've Never seen such arrogant chauvinistic men in all my life. And Antonia kept taking it. She was such a wimp! And they still don't get it. There was no resolution or growth in either character. I'm ended this book feeling disgusted because I usually like Lennox books. I'm afraid to buy the next one in the series. Sincerely disgusted. +Billy on the other hand, operating at the other end of the political spectrum, realized that every angle he played had to be played precisely and opportunities had to be seized with "cold blooded calculation." And then, the gains had to be consolidated quickly through ruthlessness; that is through terror, extortion, graft, patronage, blackmail and punishing enemies. Both brothers thus were playing the same immoral game, at opposite ends of a chessboard stacked against them, with the same corrupt Boston officials. They just did so with different weapons. + + +2108 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a fast moving tale filled with plenty of steam. It would be best suited to mature readers that like "Adult Romance" content. I liked that the story flows easily and dealt with a real love story....not just erotica. ;) Kudos to Nikita Black on a well crafted story. +Overall comments: This is a pleasant little read: not very long, but certainly worth a couple hours' worth of time. There's some intrigue, some sex, some light angst, and a healthy dose of heartwarming romance. What's not to like? +This book made me really hate some of the guys and really love the women! A true chick lit empowerment book!!!! +9153 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Oh i have not finished this book yet. I'm actually having problems getting through it . besides the hero switching affection so fast i have whiplash. And " nice girl" owl doing him in a park right after meeting him i hate books that use animal terms for no reason. Everything is smell this and smell that. You want to call your home a nest it should be in a tree, not an apartment building. Anyway i'm going to keep trying it has good reviews so maybe it gets better. +HIGH LEVEL: Book 1 of a paranormal romance series that focuses on Norse gods in modern America. Not a good read: awesome concept, blundered execution. I'm a fan of Dana Marie Bell's work. Her "Gray Court" series is my favorite. This, however, was a TERRIBLE example of her work. Awkward and confusing, this story never really evens out and pulls you in. You're left wondering what on earth is going on and how on earth such childish people could be GODS. Please don't judge this author's work by this book! +Truly, the love between all the couples is evident, but this story in particular is heart warming and beautifully written. Its a MUST read from R.G., who never ceases to please me! Great Job R.G.!! +9013 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Melina is a captain of a battle cruiser in the Alliance military and the destined mate (the author calls this gemate)to Wulf. Wulf is the captain of a battle cruiser in the Prime military and Melina's mate(gemat for the male version). They of course meet and have an instant bond which Melina struggles against while they fight off several alien enemies and a home grown rebel force. + +7804 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Very well done. Through the reading, Duke and Mav were the epitome of str8te acting sports jocks who think nothing of a slap on the butt or pinching other guys nipples. As long as your eyes don't go below the waistline, then you're safe in the lockerroom. It was realistic in that sense and even the confrontation in the drug store with the homophobe would have made a str8te boy blush. A Very good read! +8604 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love it!!!! +6595 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What a story! One of the best, most outrageous, ever so serious of the year.

They are constantly delayed by Gallian knights demanding tolls to cross minor bridges, but Horace clears the way. + +5556 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a super resource. I wish I had had this when I was first married. It explains in simple terms how marriages go wrong, and most importantly, what to do to prevent, or even reverse, behaviors that cause miscommunication, anger, resentment, and other tragic consequences. + +5235 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book has inspired me to change my life! I cannot wait to get my debt snowball rolling! This books is full of great advice and helpful tips. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a great book on getting out of debt. +I adored Jena, as a character. I would love to have her as a friend. She's practical, compassionate, grounded, analytical, and a natural leader. While all of the sisters were in turn excellent (darling, brave Stela, wickedly smart Paula, reminds-me-of-me-at-13 Iulia, maternal Tatiana) it was Jena who I was most rooting for. +In particular, something about Kadan grabbed my attention. Instead of finding his neanderthal persona annoying and one-dimensional (like many of Christine Feehan's alpha male characters) Kadan grew on me - so much so that by the story's end, I was truly moved by his desperate need/obsession w/Tansy. I thought Tansy, given her complicated history, was interesting, likable and more complex than some of the other "lost girls" from previous stories; and the plot, while more far-fetched than usual, played out reasonably well. +Diaz makes a great many allusions to The Lord of the Rings, the Marvel & DC Universes, game mechanics from Dungeons & Dragons and the Rutgers New Brunswick campus. If you are familiar with one or more of these, you'll find the book even more rewarding (if you were born between 1965 and 1985 and have a few nerdy qualities, this book is definitely for you). +All of our favorite characters are in this story for the majority of it: Evelyn, Will, Horace, Halt and Erak. They are all likable and the story is engaging. This is a very solid fantasy book. This book deals more with war and strategy than previous books have. +Not exactly. It's Nobel Prize Winner John Galsworthy's sprawling family epic "The Forsyte Saga," a three-volume saga that spans the nouveau riche Forsyte clan, and the devastating events that threaten their ever-respectable facade. Galsworthy's lush writing and intricate, insightful stories are excellent on their own, but the dignified handling of 19th-century laws and mores -- and how they changed -- add an extra dimension to his writing. +-------------------------------------- +Highly recommended !!! +8412 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Every once in a while a book drops into my lap...or more accurately, downloads to my Kindle...that I got on a whim, based on nothing more than an interesting premise and a few decent reviews. I may not expect too much from them, for whatever reason, but if the price is right, I'm usually willing to give it a try. Then, every so often, one of those books turns out to be a fantastic read that I enjoyed immensely, and I'm doubly impressed because of my lack of expectations. The Ghost Exterminator is one of those books. + + +This fund is for emergencies like repairs, once you use some of it, you stop spending until you have it at $1000. Here is the old story: car breaks down, ask for a credit card with the repair company, get a rediculous rate and pay for years. After Ramsey, car breaks down, pull out the cash and pay for it, stress free, then stop extra spending for a few weeks until the emergency fund is back up to $1000. (Today we have far more than that in the fund because we moved to the next level with Ramsey, but you get the idea.) +8728 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book was very confusing only because Izzy could not hold a thought most of the time, then I realized it was a very unique style of writing that makes you recheck what you read which really puts a spell on you to keep reading. Hypnotic confusion which really makes this book a stand out with twist and turns and a perfect ending. + + +Like Robert Cormier, Elizabeth Scott has dared to take a picture no one wants to see. This is, without question, one of the most emotionally difficult reads I've experienced. Any parent will cringe at the flawless way Ray is able to kidnap Kyla. Anyone reading this book will be so horrified they won't want to finish it, yet they will not be able to put it down. Scott's spare language, as she speaks through Alice's character, is powerful, gripping and heart-wrenching. The final page will leave you stunned. For mature readers only, be ready for some deep discussions on this one. +I was stunned - threw of me off - it wasn't anything that I was excpecting. I knew it was an Erotica e-book - but it still wasn't what I thought it would be. + +The Touch of Twilight (Sign of the Zodiac, Book 3) +I thank Ann Hood for this book and I think of her often. I know someday in the future she and Grace will read it together in Heaven. + + +3927 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Good little book. I liked it. He made some excellent points. He made me think and I changed my thinking. Glad that I bought it. +342 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Not only does this volume contain "Farewell to the Master", of which the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is based upon, but also two other gems that are sure to be enjoyed by all fans of early sci-fi. +1900 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I discovered and read this series a few years ago, and now I am reading it with my nine-year-old son who absolutely loves it as well! I recommend this series to readers of all ages. The book has a historical / fantasy feel, but is really timeless, and is filled with excitement, action, and adventure. I highly recommend this book, especially to reluctant readers. I have a feeling they'd find something in this series to love too! +6474 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Very interesting read from the perspective of Bible history. A good addition to other books and commentaries in my spiritual reference library. A good quality, easy to read translation. + + +6105 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Karen Rose has always "done it" for me and this novel is pretty good. Wish I could write as well as she does! +603 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I liked the story except there wasn't any Chemistry between Lissianna and Greg. They weren't even sure they were life mates. Where was the Shared Dreams, the shared pleasure or the need to be together and not be apart from one another? Also there was no shedding of the impurities with the change. I was wondering the whole book if it was going to be a turn given up for the wrong person. I was confused on her sharing her pleasure with others she had bitten, not the mind control to make them not realize the pain but she was sharing the pleasure she was getting out of it? It was like they weren't truly lifemates but did fall in love but without the complete sharing of themselves with each other. I have fell in love with this series and own all the hardbacks, and look forward to more in the series I just finished rereading the entire collection up to 24. I would love to see this story rewritten to add the stuf that goes with the other stories that let you see the life mate as a true combining of the souls With all the shared dreams etc... +3. Fully fund your emergency fund with about 6 months worth of expenses. +6692 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've read that this short story is like a intro into the series, although it was a short I wish it was longer, but a really good start, and good to read on a lunch hour. +I am really glad I found this author.

It felt like most +Brennan is a master when it comes to developing a story that keeps readers on the edge of their seats as they try to figure out who the villain might be -- right along with the main characters. +I would recommend it myself to anyone + +BOTTOM LINE: Not worth the time. Perhaps if you are a fan of this author and find this concept interesting, you might want to go ahead just to see if the series improves. If you haven't read anything from this author before- DON'T start here. She's really very talented! I'm not sure I'll bother with the next book. I just didn't grow to LIKE these people. + +Ryder Braddock isn't your typical heroine, given his addictions but I couldn't help but like him. Jessie is also a more than likeable heroine who has a great sassy personality. I would liked to have seen their emotional relationship develop deeper but their sexual chemistry was great and led to some pretty steamy moments. + +2114 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I like this book. I like westerners cowboys the best. I have a great many books. I like the way thestory line goes. It was a good read. I would recommend this book. +I also had a few problems with how Jake and Remi, and by extension, their friends and pack, dealt with the very serious threat of Remi's father. Not to mention my utter disgust over Remi's mother's willingness to stay in such a violently abusive relationship. It's tragically realistic - happens every day - but it's not something that makes for a pleasant read. And frankly, with so many werewolves around, I just couldn't understand why Remi's father didn't "accidentally" end up as dead as he deserved before the situation degenerated to the degree it did. Especially with the lives of Sterling and their mom on the line. It's not like precedent hadn't been set in the first book to allow for killing in self defense. +625 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I have been saving the Argeneau novels for awhile, as there are so many of them I wanted to have time to read them one after another. I needn't have bothered as I doubt I will read the next one. Below you will find a few spoilers about the universe although not the plot. +Reading this graphic novel has inspired me to come up with three new categories to critique. The more books I read, the more in-depth my reviews become and this is just the new updated version of all of my reviews. So a personal thank you to the author for inspiring me to be more critical of her work and for allowing me to praise your work better. + +5789 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 A horrible, horrible book I didn't even manage to finish. The language was terrible, the main hero was a brute. Not worth downloading. +Maggie Shayne's 'Immortality' gives us a more sympathetic view of Puabi, the Immortal High Dark Witch who spent centuries taking the hearts of good witches and torturing her husband for loving another woman. She is found barely alive in the ocean after her final confrontation with her husband and his lover and she at last finds the missing piece of her soul romantically and literally. +Her modern atributes like jogging are really cute, although I was interested to find out more about her former life before she went into the past. I'm sure there was a reason wny this was never mentioned, other than she didn't lead a very interesting life, but what kind of job she had or a bit about any family she might have left behind might have been interesting. + +One thing I do need to mention is that this book needed some more editing. Some of the paragraphs were indented and some weren't, and there were several typos. But there wasn't enough of a problem to pull me out of the story. The book was just too good to let the errors bother me. +The author may once or twice delve into the stereotypes of Viking culture. The most notable of which is the fact that Vikings did not wear horned helmets. Its not that big a deal, considering its a fantasy, but it is one of those little things that can nag at the reader. + + +Over-all, a good book for helping to inspire folks who are not savers and investors by nature. +This is the concept that intrigued me into deviating into the realm of non-fiction. +Ms. Miles conversion is not clean, orderly, instant or complete, in other words, very typical. She is "captured" by Christ through transubstantiation - the idea that in Christian Communion the bread and the wind literally become the Body and the Blood of Christ. For those, like Ms. Miles before that Communion, this sounds ridiculous at best and sick at worst. For those who are experiencing transformation by the Holy Spirit, this remains a Mystery of uniting with the Divine and others. Ms. Miles became intensely aware that this Mysterious Union was meant to be shared, not kept to herself. Actually, the only way she could "keep" it was by giving it away. She was drawn to the Church by being offered, then eating some bread and wine served in a church. How could she keep others from being likewise invited? +A good premise that falls flat. I'll give it a generous 2 stars. +- Kasia S. +993 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved it. Can't wait to read more about this family. It was a realistic story. It had a few surprises in it that you don't see coming. This story does not only make you fantasize about the love story, but also the family. I would love to be in the Westmoreland family. +At any rate give the book a chance. I'm glad she is still writing even if the characters have some of the same descriptions...smelling like roses, smelling like leather, herculian men, viking men, all the women stood up to their intended...But it's all nice in its own way in my opinion. +3091 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Unbroken Hearts is a fast-paced romance in a western setting. + +Stop eating out, or at least curb the number of times?

The well written battle scenes come to life in this intriguing tale and you can feel the chemistry building between the three main characters.

You won't regret the time spent reading this endeavor. + +to the unusual adventure that you will find within. + + +I wish that the main male character flaws were more explained and developed. His irrational hate for the main female character was weird. It was like he had an inability to be empathetic towards her role as an additional victim. If he is going to be so hard, then he should have some additional reasons. + + +5748 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The title of Benjamin Carter Hett's book "Crossing Hitler" may be misleading if one doesn't read the subtitle "The Man Who Put the Nazis on the Witness Stand". For "Crossing Hitler" is a biography of Hans Litten, the lawyer who was unafraid to challenge Adolf Hitler in court in the early 1930s. It shows the courage of the man who might have been able to derail the Nazi party from their rise to power. + +1266 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 For an anglo this book was an interesting window into the life of those who fled the dictator Trujillo and the impact of that on +2064 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 How do you review a book that's been in print for almost 2000 years? Many have come before me, so I will be brief. Suetonius was one of the most credible historians of his day, so his accounts of the period have been the source for countless treatises and novels about Ancient Rome,(including mine.) One of the things that distinguishes him was his ability to report the rumors as well as hard, documented facts on the topics of his day, making it possible to get a sense of how Romans actually thought about things. Like opening a window in time and looking into his world. It's always a good idea to cross check any historic account and this holds true for him as well. But the value of knowing the kitchen details of the Old Empire can never be exaggerated. His sense of humor and irony makes a fun read about a colorful age in history. +This novel confronts the Skandians with an overwhelming invasion by the Temujai. Halt decides to help them stop the invaders. The next volume is The Sorcerer of the North. Read and enjoy! +Or, you might love it if -- you just love a beautifully written book, read by a brilliant narrator. + +She thinks of these guys as more then just best friends - but of course, she would never let THEM know that :) +6465 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A+ + +Why Gods Persist: A Scientific Approach to Religion +738 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Buying the Sunday New York Times on Kindle for just a buck +Much was made of his years of toil and the years of anticipation for this book, but the years do not show. It looks lazy, pretentious and self-indulgent. The Pulitzer Prize is very uneven. There is no way that this book is on a par with The Known World, Interpreter of Maladies, Empire Falls or even The Road. I do believe that there are stories in this novel that should be told and I am interested in reading them, but it looks to me that they need to be told by someone else. +9127 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed this book a great deal. Too bad it wasn't a much longer book. I hope Ms. Rotham continues to write even more great stories. +Remi's relationship with his brother Sterling was the best part of the book, you could really see how much they cared for each other and looked after each other. Sterling is young and full of energy and he stole the scene every time he appeared. I'm really looking forward to Sterling and Rhys' book. It was funny to see how this big bad guy was always ready to run to protect Sterling. I'm waiting for Sterling to finally grow up, even if he's quite a handful already. +I have read a book from Elizabeth Scott before, and it was completely different - I had not expected this book to be so "extreme" and so real. I had expected it to be a normal read, with a bit of emotions - I had in no way expected this book to bring tears to my eyes or make me want to burn all the copies of this book. +Highly recommended for Flanagan fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of edged combat, covert reconnaissance, and courageous youngsters. For those who have not previously read this series, the initial volume is The Ruins of Gorlan. + +6257 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This completes the first part of the story involving the herald.

It shows how knitting brings people together. Life is funny and ironic. I actually had to stop and have a good cry while reading this book. +4758 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was my first read by Ms. Wildes and I have to say it was a nice surprise. I really liked this sweet and romantic story about an outlaw who finds love and a new purpose in life in the arms of his unintended captive. Cal and Laurel fall in love with each other almost at first sight and that could have made me skeptic about their HEA, but Ms. Wildes made it work for me. That was quite a feat, considering this is a short story. +But even in the first instance, there are still non-trivial concerns to worry about. For instance, in order to resolve most quantum anomalies through "real science," solutions are required not just in theory, or through mathematical equations, but also at the level of large-scale effects; not just at the background level or Planck level of quantum only effects. + +The story, with its overtones of racial prejudice, are told in flashback as Nicholas makes a train journey to Florida, showing too late the extent of his guilt and his love, as well as his repentance for what he has done. +When you get to to work, you search by book, verse, keyword, whatever and it pops up wonderfully, making it easy to do back and forth Bible lessons. It's almost like flipping pages, but even quicker, because the search is fast. +9568 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 There are over 2 million children (or roughly 2 of every 100) in America with a parent in prison. That means at my child's school you could fill a class with these kids. And yet many think they don't know a single child in that situation. It's easy to tell a child how they should feel or how you think you would feel to discover a parent was a felon. All a child knows is what sort of parent they have. Is he a good dad, is she an attentive mom? Kids don't really care about the things adults know are important. Your mother or father isn't measured in your heart by their worth to society, only their worth to you. Family feelings are complicated things. So all those children, 2 million at any given time, they grow up. And they learn that the lesson of their childhood - keep your mouth shut - applies in the adult world as well. So the silence continues. There are millions of Americans who have grown up in tumultuous homes, under shady circumstances, with secret families, and they keep their mouth shut. Never Tell Our Business To Strangers breaks that silence beautifully. +9309 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This arrived quickly, but it is not easy to use. It isn't easy to look up scriptures in this e-Bible, and it isn't easy to understand them once you do find them. I was very disappointed because I thought I was familiar with the American Standard Bible, but apparently I was wrong. I would not recommend this to anyone who is not really familiar with the American Standard Bible or who wants to skip from scriptures in one book of the Bible to another fairly quickly - like in a Bible study - because it is very difficult to do with this version. + +This book makes perfect sence.

According to the magician there is an entire shadow world that coexists with the Manhattan that Rory and Bridget know and love. It's called Mannahatta, and it's populated by Gods of every kind. Like the God of Justice, or the God of Sample Sales, or the God of Jaywalking. To borrow the magicians words: "When a mortal does something great, he is reborn in Mannahatta as a spirit. If his legend grows enough, he might be fortunate enough to ascend to godhood." +Review: + +9904 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great historical romance. Crazy families, yearnings for individuality (not so common back then for ladies), & unfortunate enabling & bullying. Two sweet souls find one another. +Gregori is hot, funny and a vampire. He turned Nina by accident, and now he has to deal with her. He doesn't like her at all, and I liked that, because it was different from the usual. He hated her foul-mouth and her attitude, but he feels responsible of her. Of course she doesn't want his help, and their relationship was very difficult to start (several chapters). They obviously started to like each other, but both were so stubborn. That made the romance it this book slower, but don't get me wrong, it was still hot, and they do get their "happily ever after". +While these books might be similar in their approach, I actually found myself tearing up at the end of "Believe" and thinking about the message in this story. I am not someone who reads spiritual books or quotes passages from the Bible (haven't even read it), and as I said it was more the price of the book that hooked me and not the subject. But this one really got to me. Maybe because I'm a bit of a cynic who is originally from New York (where this story takes place), maybe because I recently lost my mother, or maybe just because this is a well written, interesting and engaging tale - I couldn't say. +* Kindle Touch +2448 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 "Where Does the Money Go?" is a guide for people who care about where the country is going but don't have the time or inclination to become budget experts. The authors point out that in 31 of the last 35 years the government in Washington, D.C. has spent more than it collected in taxes. Our federal deficit now totals $9 trillion, and will escalate as boomers retire and draw upon Social Security and Medicare. Meanwhile, more and more concern is being raised about the AMT - set to kick in at $200,000 in '69, and threatening more and more "middle-income" families as inflation continues. +Reviewed by Jaime L. Lincoln +Nannette +3220 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This heartwarming tale was somewhat predictable, but nevertheless gave me an interesting glimpse into life in the South during the turbulent 60s and Civil Rights era.

It has easy to understand stories, analogies and references. I loved it! +7904 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I don't know, compared to Kyle and Ava's story, Duncan & Tamara's story was kinda boring. Duncan was very reserved about his past and too much focus was on him looking back and comparing his deceased ex to Tamara, while he was all in her business about her ex-husband. I look forward to Ivan's story but hope this book is better. I had a hard time finishing. +Trolls, Vampires, a man who finds things and a neighbour who is some sort of voodoo witch crossed with a look-out... This was great fun. Delighted to give this five stars, and hope that if you ever have a few hours and need a good short with no pretence of the irony and curious humour that fantasy can sometimes throw at you, this is a great place to start! +Ring in the New Year with the explosively hot The Bite of Silence! Mary Hughes pairs two sexy protagonists with a race against time to deliver this exciting, entertaining story. Twyla is an enchanting heroine. She is likeable, intelligent, and beautiful, but she lacks self-confidence. I loved that Nikos sees how capable and bright she is and works to make her see it as well, sometimes using mouth-wateringly delicious tactics. The Spartan general is all reserve on the surface, but get under his skin and watch out - instant heat! The incendiary attraction between Nikos and Twyla produces erotic results that are every bit as appealing as the tenderness between the two. +6943 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved all of these books about Longmire and setting. Purchased the book for a family member because I love the stories + +Again more world building than character development, the characters are basically a vehicle used to explore the world that has been created. +5713 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another wonderful book of Dr. Thorndyke mysteries which I thoroughly enjoyed! I love the way the author weaves the clues into the puzzle every time! And I could never guess the answer until I read it! +851 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 READ IT + + +I would say that if you are interested from a historical perspective, go ahead and read them, but if you are interested in enjoyable tales you are likely to be disappointed. +790 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Not the bulk, the selection, nor the cost of that other financial paper.

Lots of vampire adventures. + + +Helene is made to feel powerless, open, and exposed. If you like seeing a woman naked and defenseless to a dominating and controlling man who pulls all the right strings; if you like seeing a woman yield to man and, in doing so, yield to herself, you'll like this story. As always with EM, it's well-written, highly erotic, intelligent, and revealing. +- There's practically no buildup, emotional or physical, to the first sex scene, and because there's so little development between sex scenes, they left me cold. They're lovingly described in rather minute detail, but I found them a little clinical. They have a removed, play-by-play feel to them. + + +4216 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great read. No one embarrassing covers on the bus for people to use as an excuse to bother you. I love it on my kindle and the books don't clutter up my house. + +The Temujai are clearly based on the barbarian hordes of Central Asia such as the Mongols and the Huns. What can also be learned from them is how the Roman Empire and to some extent modern militaries, worked so well, On his own, a Roman Legionnaire was nothing special in the way of single combat, but when a part of a large, cohesive unit, they were almost unstoppable. A disciplined, ordered force will almost always prevail against a chaotic force even if severely outnumbered. There is something to be learned in that even beyond combat. +4306 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I got this for my little granddaughter, and she loved it. I loved it as a child, and I wanted to pass it along. +Nannette +6996 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I came to this first Longmire mystery novel as a fan of the television series. I have enjoyed the laconic style portrayed by the actor playing Sheriff Walt Longmire, and though I haven't understood how Henry Sleeping Bear, portrayed by Lou Diamond Phillips, fits into the Longmire story, I've enjoyed his acerbic, overly-precise way of speaking. The stories have been well-plotted and engaging. +Is it a necessary read? Not really. I could have skipped it (I actually did) and not miss much. It felt like the extraneous part of a book that had been edited out, like in the DVD's, where it's billed as the extras. People pay to see those extras. I did. It was worth it, but probably not to everyone. + + +1415 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Second time reading it and enjoyed it just as much. +Both books are amazing value, containing endless hours of enjoyment. +* Nifty Tips from the Los Angeles Times Food Section, by Melissa Trainer +6447 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I don't have much to say about Angel's Pawn. I liked it but I didn't love it. Maybe I was expecting they'd have a definite stand with each other in the end. It was open-ended so maybe I have to check the other books for progress. +7. Sydney Somers' gargoyle spin on romance: Primal Hunger: Pendragon Gargoyles, Book 1 +3781 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 After months as prisoners and then slaves of the Skandians, Will and Evanlyn (in reality, Princess Cassandra of Araluen in disguise) have escaped - with a little help from Erak, the senior Jarl who first captured them. The imprisonment has not been kind to Will. As a yard slave, the apprentice Ranger was made an addict of the toxic and mind-numbing warmweed and it has taken most of the winter to drive the drug from his system. Now Will, though horribly weakened, is back in his right mind and his return has come not a moment too soon. The spring thaw has finally arrived in the frozen north and Will and Evanlyn must resume their difficult journey toward Araluen and freedom. +What I love about this story the most is that it is very emotionally satisfying. Theres tension, a bit of stress, all amid sexual frenzy. I will freely admit that I had to read this one-handed. But even with all the masturbation material, I got into the characters, into their heads, and connected with them. The main characters got a very satisfying ending, I think, and there is an opening for much, much more it is a short story, after all. And luckily for me (and you), there is a much longer story that follows this one about the two supporting characters Brent and Joe. +3677 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Awesome +Shaunti and Jeff did a great job making things easy to understand even for people who aren't all into brain science and things like that. I read both this and For Women Only at the same time and the differences between men and women was amazing. +All in all it is a good story, not too short not too long, and you don't want to put the book down because you want to know what happens next. What else could you ask for? I know the editing came up in other reviews but if I really like a book I don't even notice any problems. + +http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525477683?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s03 +Highly recommended. + +6831 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Andrew Grey has a way of weaving stories with good characters throughout.

Still, he knows getting and keeping Ian in his life will take more strategizing than a military campaign. He has twelve nights to convince Ian that the kind of life they could have is worth risking everything for. And Nicky will definitely need every night. +The villain is, of course, the vampire. He's a jerk. A warped, twisted, arrogant being of whom I thought the author depicted quite well. I had no sympathy for him at all so he's the perfect bad guy. +I loved both stories. they were well written and well crafted. Well worth the investment. + +178 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoyed Moon's Vatta's War. I find it very relaxing Space Opera.

He notes that the Supreme Court forms one angle of the triangle that in effect governs America. The Presidency and the Senate over the years have struggled with the Supreme Court and each other in a bear hug that historically was more or less even. However, Levin notes that the Court has grown powerful beyond the scope envisioned for it by the Founding Fathers, who set it up as a check on the other two. The Court, they held, was to interpret the law, a formidably strong enough concept indeed. Yet, Levin accuses the Court of overstepping its bounds in a manner that places it squarely in the camp of a leftist ideology that he fears has turned the United States into a bizarre nation that opposes nearly every precept once held dearly by Washington, Jefferson, and Madison. No longer is the America of 2005 a nation that opposes racism (affirmative action is the "settled law" of a racist ideology that the Founding Fathers would have found abhorrent) nor is it one that will protect its citizens from foreign incursions (the Court now insists that captured Islamofascist terrorists must be accorded the constitutional right to face their accusers in a court of law). Levin argues that the Court has proven over the last fifty years that the fate of the Democratic party and the fate of the Court itself are inextricably intertwined. MEN IN BLACK was written before the recent arrival of John Roberts as Chief Justice. With the looming confirmation hearings of Samuel Alitto as the newest conservative justice, Levin must be heartened by the likely prospect of a reversal of a court that has looked over its left shoulder for so long that it forgot that it even had a right one. +The book gives a brief overview of what it means to live a Spirit filled life. It also provides some examples from Dr. Stanley's life. Finally, it gives some details as to how to open yourself up to living the Spirit filled life. +3918 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This story opens at the end of Without Reservations. Remington Lassiter has just been turned and he is trying to cope with being a were at the same time as he is fighting his attraction to Jake Romero, the werewolf who turned him to save his life. He is deeply conflicted between what he wants and what he feels is right. To complicate matters he knows that if he does anything to offend his father, such as enter into a relationship with another man, both he and his younger brother Sterling would pay. But every time he sees Jake there is a bond and an attraction between them that he can't overcome. After seeing how difficult it is for Remi to control his feelings Jake has no option but to tell him that he is his mate. At that point Remi realizes that he is fighting a losing battle and he gives in to his growing feelings for Jake. + + +One of the clues points out a small group of people capable of such a feat: Roger Russell, the retired electrician; Mike Rubin is a gunsmith; Carroll Cooper (along with Roger) is a reenactment enthusiast; Dwight Johnston was on the NRA National Shooting Team back in the day; Phil La Vante may be seventy-two, but he can still shoot; Stanley Fogel is a dentist; Artie Small Song; Omar himself; Walt; and, Henry Standing Bear. It's a testament to Walt that he's willing to consider his friends as possible suspects. As badly as he wants to ignore it. + +Maybe you like unexplained love at first sight romances. I don't, so be aware that is what you're getting. He loves her at first sight and he finds they're good in bed together and she cleans up his house so he decides to keep her around. +Interesting story concept in a survivalist tradition. Good character development, very believable. +1286 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Junot Daz's Pulitzer winner was a disappointment. This is a like-mother like-son story of foolish, obsessive, unrequited love. In both cases, the obsession is dangerous because the object of his/her affection has connections to Trujillo, the brutal dictator of the Dominican Republic for thirty years. Single mother Beli, her daughter Lola, and son Oscar live in Paterson, New Jersey, but the real action takes place in the DR where their roots are. I found the voluminous footnotes and the slang, often in Spanish, particularly exasperating. Also, the not-always-identifiable narrator changes frequently and is sometimes first person, sometimes third, with lots of backtracking in time. This choppiness robbed the story of continuity, not to mention making it a bit challenging to follow. My favorite narrator, though, was Yunior, also a Dominican in New Jersey, who is Lola's occasional lover and Oscar's occasional college roommate. Yunior grows to genuinely care for Oscar, the bumbling obese nerd who pines for women he can't have. Oscar is too maladjusted and clueless with his Tolkien-inspired and Jedi-infused techno-speak to be a likeable character, but Yunior manages to tell the lovesick Oscar's story in a compassionate way. +'Do eat frequent small meals, at 2-5 hour intervalsgoing long periods of time without eating only encourages more fat storage' + +Now, there is some debate as to the ending of Living Dead Girl. I'm not going to give it away because I hate spoilers with a fiery passion. But I will say this. Living Dead Girl is the type of book where both a happy and a sad ending would damn it. A happy ending would make it seem sort of fake because the truth is almost every kid that has ever been in Alice's situation doesn't make it out alive. However, a sad ending would make this seem like a story with no type of redemption, with no hope, and would leave you with a bleak look at humanity. Either way, someone's going to be unsatisfied with the ending. +This is a really good book with a lot of evilness, fighting, magic, creatures, and sneaky little jerks all over the place. +435 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Very boring and slow to read. The plot is far-fetched and plods along at a very slow pace. The leading characters are obnoxious.

There was such a confusing back story and all the other mini plots that my head was spinning. I just wanted Colm and Gabrielle to meet and it was getting frustrating that it hadnt happened yet. Afterall in all the other books, Garwoods characters were married near the beginning of the book. (which I loved) +6576 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed reading this book. I had lived in the southern California desert for many years and could easily relate to the acurate descriptions. I found Henry, the main character, to be very laid back and easy going. I really liked him a lot. He fits in perfectly with the Palm Springs atmospere. :-) + + +In dealing with the aftermath of the battle with Lord Morgorath, this third installment in the Ranger's Apprentice series takes a detour from fantasy's classic conflict of good versus evil. Having defeated the supernatural threat to their country, the characters are now confronted with difficult moral choices and human dilemmas. A darker book than its predecessors, THE ICEBOUND LAND deals with slavery, addiction and the problem of violence in a world where might makes right. + +Warmly recommended.

This book is short but that is a good thing. I don't need drama with my chick-porn. Marie Harte gives you just enough to be vested in the characters of this book without dragging out the story and a fine job of it!

Longmire is sheriff in a small Wyoming town peopled with fascinating and complex characters. He has a self-deprecating humor I really like, but the situations he finds himself in are often dark and dangerous. +This book was awful. Horrible. Disgusting. Upsetting. I cannot find a single redeeming factor to the entire thing. Here's why I hated it, why I'm fired up about reviewing it, and why I will never, ever, never, ever again read anything by this author. +Starting with all of the familiar but more perplexing anomalies quantum physics has bedazzled us with over the last two generations, including the commonly recognized fact that there is no longer such a thing as a "vacuum" -- since it is now well known that virtual particles are constantly exchanging energy in such a way that their resultant energy levels "only appear to be zero" -- Ms. McTaggart introduces a concept that many scientists will readily recognize as a very weighty and scientifically stubborn one: the idea of a Zero Point Field (ZPF). + + + +6979 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As I said it was and outstanding book, sad but life is that way sometimes.

Carrie seemed to know from childhood that she would spend her whole life in mourning.

Not long afterwards, Lucy who was a vegetarian, began craving meat and also started using her left hand, although she was right-handed all her life. After Alex made his feelings known to her, she was introduced to his family and friends and she seemed to know things about them which made her wonder.

Like fruitcake, this'll keep for a while if need be. So, if someone from the future -- 2010 or even 11 or 12 -- reads this, I imagine the review will still be valid! ('Cept the movies James references will be out on DVD by then, or Bluray, or whatever you future people are using.) +331 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 All good. +The first novella The ghettosat the end of the worldnerd 1974 1987, introduces us to scar at age seven, and his blessed childhood when he was a womanizer having up to two girlfriends at a time. He chooses Maritza Chacn over Olga Polanco and then the fuk takes hold. Maritza drops him for Nelson Pardo, so he starts eatingto the point that he is a huge person and hides in his books and science fiction becoming the biggest nerd in the worldpersecuting women to no avail. +9382 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I just finished reading Tricked Truths and enjoyed it because I was never sure what the secrets were that Grace was kept hiden from Trick. It took me a while to read this book because the cover does not do the book justice. Trick and Grace have not seen each other for a long time and Trick hates Grace for something that happened years ago. The only parts of the book I didn't enjoy was when Trick treated Grace in a mean and condescending way. I plan on reading more Beth Kery books. +The book had many issues which need a tune up. As good as the novel is it is just a little too long; it needed to be edited down just a bit so it wasn't so heavy to shoulder. I had no real beef with the simple writing style. Many might complain that Stan Morris's writing is too basic or undeveloped but for this book. The narrative being that of a thirteen year old boy, I truly thought he hit the nail on the head. The novel was too male centric and desperately needed to be balanced by more active respected female characters. I also felt that despite the pairing of couples that there never seemed to be any rhyme or reason for those relationships. I think he could have worked on developing a better psychological connection between them so it wasn't as dry and clinical as it came across. +Alice's days pass by in an isolated, hunger-induced blur, as Ray forces her to submit to his sexual demands and fantasies about little girls -- forcing Alice to obey by threatening to harm her family if she attempts to run away. +Not a fast paced novel, but defintely deep and emotional..... through VanTassel's point of view you only pity him and his warped view of love. This is a book that will keep you thinking and discussing long into the night..... a good book for people who love to read! + +7012 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have been watching the TV show since it began and my husband and I love it. We are from Colorado so to have it based in Wyoming (even if it isn't) it feels like an old friend doing a good job as sheriff. +Trust me on this one folks...it is most certainly worth the time spent reading...you will not regret it. +4380 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 unicorns - I loved it!!! +His wife Maris is an amalgamated combination of neurosis, scheming, vindictiveness, and loneliness. Any woman willing to pee in her ex's cologne bottle is .. just wow! +Oscar and his family live now in Paterson,New Jersey exiled from the Dominican Republic for good reasons. He is a writer and dreams of becoming the next Tolkein while falling hopelessly in and out of love. His punk sister, Lola, wants to run away, and his resolute mother,Beli, Beli can't seem to let either of them go. We get major footnotes throughout the novel recounting the ruthless brutality of the Trujillo dictatorship of 31 years. The novel is about words, as curses,,superstitiouns, spells,charms or writing. The power of words to fight the silences,the abscences,the lacunae,disappearance:our ability to construct a narrative through the imagination. Most of our history gets wiped out by the anaesthetic of the quotidian or by censorship. In the empty crater of memory of the New World our contemporary world has no Creation myths. + +- Vonnie Hayes is a neighbor who inherited a lot of land when her father died. She's known Walt and his daughter for years as a neighbor and friend. She and Walt cautiously move into a romantic relationship that both find challenging. Their awkwardness and guilt are authentic and unforgettable. +All in all, the story was well written, gripping, and very fast-paced. There were no lagging or boring parts. If you hate alpha males lashing out at their wives when those said wives hurt and humiliate them, this book is not for you. To everyone else, I highly recommend. +3980 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I sometimes like to go back to the classics on success to see what they have to tell me. Like going back to the basics in sports. However, Wattles book, while good, is not as inspiring to me as Think And Grow Rich! +2672 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Yes, I'm an Austen fan. But I'm open-minded enough that a visit to favourite characters outside the strict boundaries of the original story line is a fun romp, and Reynolds has delivered another such. + + + + +Brennan seems to really get into the heads of her supporting characters. She did a phenomenal job of making both The Seattle Slayer (the true villain) and Brian Harrison Hall (the circumstantial villain) very multi-faceted. Although not as well developed as these two men, the other supporting characters in the book came to life with concise descriptions and minimal appearances. It was nice to get a picture of Quinn and Miranda Peterson's future when they were included in the story. +She has another book, Miniplanner, that is good, but not as satisfying as this one. She needs to write more, and soon! +I found the book to be interesting and different... Looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series...I received to book for an honest review and with being a spoiler I found the book to be 4 stars, thanks +5955 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Patricia Briggs is one of my favorite authors. I am always excited when a new book appears in one of her series. I am never disappointed. + +Overall, this story is just alright. +He is the one person I have found who openly ridicules credit card dependency , and emphasizes the importance of a zero based budget. And yes I know that both of those things are great in theory, and very difficult in practice. Yet both of those things are doable - we can certainly live without credit cards, and as painful as it might be at first - we can definitely create a zero based budget. + + + +6600 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Initially I thought this was going to be more of a creature type horror story, similar to The Mist. It's not, while they hint of something in the fog it is never explained, all you know is whatever goes in ends up screaming and me ere coming back out. Instead it's more about how a camp full of kids set out to survive and establish a community. The best comparison I could give is a modern day Lord of the Flies meets Hatchet. These kids manage to not only to survive but thrive and do better than most of the adults you will meet along the way. +7048 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was looking for something to read and came across this series featuring Walt Longmire, the Wyoming sheriff. The book is so well written, both story and prose. The characters are full and rich and you find yourself forming a connection to them immediately. Johnson does not write what's easy and storylines and are not quickly or conveniently wrapped up. Cannot wait to read the next book.... +1133 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this second installment in this series. I just wish it had been longer. I would also say that I liked the fact that this one, unlike the first, had chapter demarcations, even though it's short. Chapter demarcations make it so much easier to see how close you are to the end of a chapter or to find a stopping place when you need to do so, although that's not much of a problem on short novellas. The characters in this series so far are very realistic in my opinion. I think this book had just the right amount of "bits of everything", except being so short. I won't bore you with a plot summary as I know other reviewers are fond of doing that. If you liked the first book in the series, I think you'll like this one. Give it a shot because I don't think you'll be disappointed. Have at it! I can't wait to read the third and final one. +I don't think I even noticed that part the first time I read it, or even the flawed characters. + + +8376 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love reading this proclamation from a true prophet of God.

Hard to put down. +5105 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One of these days I want to get a puppy, but when I do, I want to raise my puppy the right way. I think it's good to do some research ahead of time to prepare for everything involved in bringing a new puppy into my life. Puppies for Dummies covers everything relating to choosing and raising a puppy in addition to everyday life with a puppy. I really enjoyed reading this book because it is well written by a professional dog trainer who has a good writing personality. Sarah has written in a language that makes even the trickiest puppy problems easy to fix. Having a solid foundation for your new puppy will ensure many happy years together and after reading Puppies for Dummies I feel comfortable with this book guiding me in the right direction. +7756 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 An easy reading, enjoyable who done it. I liked the character development. Made me want to get the next book in the series to find out how his life is progressing, both romantically and professionally. +8556 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This kept me so interested and enjoyed reading it. The plot of the story was good to the end of it. + 7. Have fun - invest - give +8167 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 i like to read old books, this one is a great example of the time. I also like to read anything written by Doc Smith! + + +Reviewer, TwoLips Reviews, LLC +The characters were not "fleshed out" sufficiently for me to have much sympathy for them - we know next to nothing about Feathers, the son, Connor, or his father, Joe (who turns out to be an elf) or the abusive ex-boyfriend/husband/partner. His threats and leaving mutilated animals on her doorstep is not taken very seriously by the police. +Emma is a huge surprise to all who meet her, she's no pushover to Max and can hold her own with any of the other women. She's even able to teach them a lesson or two. The wise cracks and kitty jokes never stop! + + + +I am not usually drawn to romances between older women and younger men, but the age difference between Amy and Justin never felt like an issue to me at all. The moment you feel the romantic tension between this pair, you will think of nothing but your need for them to consummate their undeniable attraction for each other. +491 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Every time I read a new Allison Brennan book, I swear that one is my favorite. As this is my seventh book that I've read by this author, it's happened to me seven times. One of the things I love most about Ms. Brennan's series is getting to have recurring characters in each of the books. I've really come to love the entire Kincaid clan as well as all the peripheral characters such as Will Hooper, Jim Gage, etc. who each get to be the main focus of a novel. +2550 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A classic that really shows the charming literalness, innocence, and adorable self-centered logic of childhood. The writing really shines when you read it out loud and I enjoyed reading it as much as my kids enjoyed listening to it. +Excellent writing. A quick read. Attention grabbing. Just beware of the content...not for the weak. +Postscript: I've been thinking about this novel in light of the comments it drew from 'a customer.' Possibly I underappreciated the political/historical signifiers. Possibly Oscar is a bit allegorical, a synecdoche of the whole DR diaspora, living semi-lives in el Norte. Possibly Trujillo really is an immortal Dark Lord, reincarnating constantly in what one character means when he says "we are ten million Trujillos." In other words, the novel may be open to deeper readings, if you can keep your eyes off the mammaries. +1927 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Awesome +better than before! There is a lot of heat and heart in Anticipation; +Ranger's Apprentice: The Battle for Skandia (or also known as The Oakleaf Bearer's) is about the continuations of Halt/Horace hunting down and rescuing Will and Evalyn. It also continues the plot of the Skandians and the beloved (although not very hug-a-ble) Erik. But when they are all finally reunited, Halt reports that he shall a small group of Temujai (a dangerous race of mounted warriors, reminding us vividly of Genghis Khan's and his Mongolian army) invading the lands of Skandia. +aspects of physical abuse and murder and mystery. It's a fantastic +So a brief take on the characters, oh my squirming behind, those masters! Hateful, hurtful and totally magnetic, same goes for Tane, the Mountain Lord, this guy is one of the darkest male leads I have ever come across but I couldn't help but be mesmerised by him. Yes the inner part of me wants him to suddenly realise what a complete A-hole he is but again he's penned in such a way that you're drawn to him in a weird way, it's almost like being compelled. + +9970 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the first book that I have read by this author and absolutely loved it. Very well written , hot , explicit sex. One of the best BDSM books written. Hope Ms. Gordon we can see a sequel to this book on the characters of Claire, Paul and David. A Menage with BDSM yum, yum !!! +Another thing that Mr. Levin does very well is making it clear that these judges who usurp power have no more wisdom than anyone else and sadly, in many cases, far less. He goes through some of the horrendous decisions of the Court such as Dred Scott, Plessy v. Ferguson, and the the McCain-Feingold Act. +Everyone just starting beginning to earn money should read this as a primer on how to do things correctly from the beginning, but it may not always "take" when the money (or credit card) is in your pocket and those shiny new cars, electronic gadgets, clothing are calling out to you. I really believe this would be a good book to re-read every few years to either shore up your resolve or to remind you that you can get out of debt and not answer the siren of massive consumption. +Review copy provided by Thomas Nelson through BookSneeze +890 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Wow another good book in this series. Fern Michaels has done a really good job putting these book together. I haven't been able to read anything else,but these books so on to the next one.so enjoy the read! +5054 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It was nice to have these all in one collection, most of them have the same story with different characters, particulary the later ones, but if your an OZ fan it's going to be for you. Would reccomend it for young readers as well. + +Aspect of Crow Book 0.5 + +8235 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I didn't want it to end. The relationship between the three was dynamic with good conflict.

The problem is that she's so skittish that getting close to her has been impossible - until now. They've enlisted the aid of her friend Aislinn to help make Christina more comfortable with them. +reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed +9258 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What an absolute delight this short story is to read. Little Max writes a novel on the wall of his mother's uterus and then has to be born, leaving his novel behind. There is a lot to laugh about and also some things to cry about in "Max Under the Stars." + +7345 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My little Kindle dots are getting longer and longer making me sadder and sadder. I loved this book and I am not a fan of this genre. I dare you to put this book down after reading one page. I dare you. If you need me, I'll be in front of Frank Tuttle's house waving signs demanding more Wistril. We shall dine in shifts! + +Mr. Tool...Gage for those who actually know him as more than just a bit of man candy, gives Hailey an ultimatum. Either she goes out on a date with him, or he calls the cops and files a complaint about her and her friends' weekly peeping. +I recommend this book. +There's so much more going on in this story than is possible to provide in brief blurbs. J.L. Langley has written a story that overflows with love and caring and the compromises that are required in building a lasting relationship. There's action, suspense, hot sex, humor, and a fabulous happily-ever-after that will have you searching out more stories by this author. +Overall, I liked this book, but I'm not sure if I want to read more or not. I might recommend this to some but maybe not all my friends. + +Excellent book. +In this novel, Will is a Ranger apprentice. He is small and quick and deadly with his bow and knives. + +7353 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I'm a fan of Brenda Novak's Whiskey Creek series, so I wasn't surprised that I like the Dundee, ID books also. The fact that I was born and raised in Idaho makes me like them even more! Brenda's characters are so realistic. Lots of laughs, as well as tears, can be found in this book. Do yourself a favor and start reading it +Disclosure: This ebook was provided to BBMoreB free of charge for the sole purpose of an honest review. All thoughts, comments, and ratings are my own. +8861 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Wish someone would make into a movie -- probably my favorite Heyer comedy! +Anyway, I will not be reading again or following this series. Not with that weak pack having this weak leader. I don't think so. I was tempted to ask for my money back, but I did not. I sometimes want to be reminded of what authors to avoid, almost bought another book but checked my library and saved myself from the mistake. Thank goodness. + +9207 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 So far, this is a very well written story! So well written that the words quickly disappear to be replaced by the action viewed with the mind's eye (as any well told story will do). However, I keep getting pulled back to the words due to simple grammatical errors like the use of 'then' where it should read 'than', or 'passed' where it should read 'past', or 'weary' where it should read 'wary'. Those are the most common mistakes, and fixing them would cover most of the errors in the story, making the book a much more enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to finishing this and moving on to book 2! Very fun so far! + + +9861 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Take one computer virus, a couple of geeks, one retired Spec Ops Officer, a dragon and a madman, and what do you get? The makings of a fast paced para-rom-com-mystery! Ms. Pape has another winner on her hands! I couldn't stop reading until the end. I can't wait to read the next in this series. She draws you in with her great sense of humor, and her insight to the psychology of couple interactions! The dialogue enthralled me so I wasn't reading but seeing the story play out ! Bringing in different beliefs, ethnicities, and socio-economic differences relate so well to today's societal climes makes this a great read! +One of the things that really struck me about this book is the way that almost everything is referred to in a highly sexualized way. The chapter in which Veronica speculates about her grandparents' sex life was beyond creepy. +How will Jack, and Earth, respond? But that's not at the heart of the story. Love and growth are. + +BLOOD AND SEX, VOLUME 1: MICHAEL is an engrossing and breathtaking suspense and a romance that seizes the reader from beginning to end. Traveling the road with Michael and Tori was impressive and their relationship both and poignant and grew more and more as the story went on. Jonas, a secondary character, will be the hero in the next book who has secrets of his own about him. I'd have loved to have a bit of a dictionary that would help with some of the special terms used for the book. Similar that I've seen in those with the Cajun words. But as the story went on, I was able to grasp those terms better. With a theme of romance, suspense and paranormal, its a combination that makes for a great series. +2127 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Renegade's Woman by Nikita Black +5164 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This collection includes Delicious, Irresistible, and Sizzling written by author Susan Mallery.

The characters are well developed and interesting and the story unwinds at break neck speed. The heroine is a somewhat conservative school teacher, who is so shocked by her own sexuality that she spends a lot of her time trying to control herself, and not jump Special Agent Thatcher's bones. So much so, that she doesn't realize just how much danger she's in. The killer is scary, well hidden and until the very end undiscoverable, but it's whose been helping him that turns out to be the greatest monster. A great read if you're looking for romantic suspense. The author did a great job on this! + +I can download the blog and shift to the kindle store to get the books right from my device. +4169 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This may be short but it manages to achieve a lot on all fronts. Hot sex, 2 well developed characters who easily grow on you, tender, touching and emotional moments and a nice plot. I prefer this one to Diving Deep, the longer story from Mitchell. The initial setting is really amusing as both characters meet over a rubbish dump. Cade may be the more experienced, flamboyant and older one but his failed relationship with a "jerk" has left him vulnerable and lonely. Elliot is a young man, almost a virgin, but romantic at heart believing in finding one true love. They seem very different and you would have thought Cade would have preferred a more exprienced and older lover. But Elliot's persistence and sincerity would win the most hard hearted. Love the chemistry between the 2 men. I would love to read more about this couple making it lasts. A great novella. +2080 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The title of this book may deceive and yet lead the reader to the correct assumption. +1647 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Good book. Fast reading. Enjoyable +8332 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love this story line this author has created. I loved the characters too. I hope their will be more. + +That said, "Tricked Truth" is also a love story. Trick Burnett and Grace Jamison, two ill-starred lovers who after 13 years met each other again. Grace married Trick's father when she was 17, making her exactly 7 years younger than Trick. After a decade of being away from their hometown of Everly, Grace returns with her son Randy whose physical traits and personality characterists resemble the Burnetts so much that no one can deny his parentage. + + +This is the wonderful tale of the short and wonderful life of scar de Len, A. K. A. scar Wao, thus named because when he attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick on his third year he dressed as Dr. Who for a Halloween party and the Dominicans in the school tried to associate him with the homosexual Oscar Wildwhich they pronounced as Wao, so the name stuck. +1284 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 When I began reading this I didn't expect to finish it. The angst of a teenage boy, told in crude language and sprinkled liberally with Spanish slang and idioms, didn't appeal to me at all. However, since it won a Pulitzer and has been widely praised I decided to read a few chapters before closing it, and I'm so glad I did. +9894 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a very short story that only takes a few minutes to read, but it's a very sweet story of two little girls who go to the mailbox with their father to find that their order of caterpillars has arrived. They watch the caterpillars in the observation chamber until the miracle happens, but what takes place when the cycle is complete is a lesson in nature and life's ways. +A Quick Bite is treasure. The family connections are a treat to watch. It was great to go back see how Greg and Lissianna met and fell in love. I have enjoyed all Sands Vampires books. I hope that Thomas gets his story soon. +I could not believe how brilliant this story was. I mean literally just the other day I was finishing Radiant Shadows, half-lost in love with Irial and Niall, and wondering desperately why I was spending all this time with Ani and Devlin when all I really wanted was to cozy up and watch the absolutely riveting drama that is the two Dark Kings. Just ask DH. I turned to him multiple times and said, "These characters are freaking awesome. I need a book of just them. And I need it now." It was like the literary gods were listening to me, smiling knowingly. Because the next day I find out that not only has Melissa Marr written a story featuring my three favorite characters, but it's free. And available for immediate download. DH took one look at my face, laughed, and then wisely left me alone to soak it up. And that is exactly what I did. There are so many beautiful scenes in this story. So much concentrated awesome packed into such a small package. This is exactly what I wanted. And Irial, Niall, and Leslie were exactly themselves in all their heartbreaking loyalty, love, pain, and longing. And honestly I couldn't have asked for anything more. And I haven't been precisely right since. For instance, I may have spent an inordinate amount of time haunting the Rath forum thread dedicated to discussing "Stopping Time." I may have read my favorite bits over and over late at night. (The caf scene. *dies*) And I may have listened to Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" on repeat after Ms. Marr mentioned it makes her think of Niall. And, okay, I may have a problem. But the first step is admitting it, right? My name is Angie. I have an obsession with a couple of fictional characters. It's not the first time. But I absolutely cannot wait for DARKEST MERCY--the final installment in the Wicked Lovely series--to find out what happens to my beloved boys. I, for one, am hoping happiness is in the cards if they're strong enough to choose it. In the meantime, I simply cannot recommend "Stopping Time" highly enough. I am all kinds of in love with it and it has won an instant spot on my Best of 2010 list--a first for a short story. So. What are you waiting for? Go! Soak it up! And don't worry about me. I'll just be over here reading the caf scene again... +7625 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good storyline...interesting plot...didnt like the ending but this leaves door open to a sequel...action-packef..great read. Buy this book for some friend. +This story brings us up-to-date on an older Boba Fett, one still living the mercenary life while also having responsibilities as the Mandalore, the leader of his people. It's an interesting dynamic how Fett feels a sense of duty to this role while simultaneously keeping it at arm's length. The sequences where Fett and a companion walk through a Vong vessel and encounter the extra-galactic invaders for the first time is superb, as we see their disgusted reactions to the bloody Vong culture firsthand. The ending of the story leaves the Mandalorians as true anti-heroes, secretly doing the right thing while being openly despised for their seemingly traitorous actions. I would have liked to see this thread interwoven throughout the New Jedi Order, but alas, A Practical Man was penned late in the game. +8290 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I'm not quite familiar with this author, but I gave this book a try anyways. And I've got to say, I'm definitely looking forward to more stories by her. "The Knife's Edge" is a mixture of erotic romance, powerful suspense, and some added dark elements. The characters we're interesting and well developed. Another short story that comes to the mind that had similar character development is The Mist Of Remembering: Erotic Romance Fantasy by Sandra Ross. However, this story had more of a dark tone to it that is satisfying to read. + Eventual Adrian realizes he in in the past, filling in for his great, great, grandfather Adrian and the girl he is so attracted to is actually his great, great grandmother Cassandra. Adrian now has three problems, his attraction to his great, great grandmother, how to get back to his own life, and finding out who is trying to kill him. + +Overall, I would recommend this book and this plan for anyone wishing to get in shape financially. +Recommended. +8265 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It is either hit or miss with me for J.L. Langley and her/his books. But with "His Convenient Husband," the author pulls off the time honored tradition in romance novels - a marriage of convenience - and does it with style. Because Micah and Tucker had a great backstory, the reader was rooting for them to get together from the beginning. Langley's secondary characters, even the 'bad guy,' felt natural to the plot line and gave the reader an overall explanation of why Tucker and Micah marry not for love but to keep their family's ranch. By the end of the book, you were hoping for more: more plot, more sex, more Tucker and Micah's love story...which is always a plus when reading a novella. This is a universe I could visit again. 4 stars for "His Convenient Husband." +uncanny.

Nerdy, overweight and socially awkward, Oscar lives with his fierce mother Belicia and his smart and lovely sister Lola. Unlike all the other Dominican men he knows, Oscar has no game with women. He falls in love again and again, but girls who aren't repelled by him see him only as a friend and someone to confide in about their own love lives. +speed on the news... at least what they want to tell us... on a weekly basis. +Writing Style: 5 Stars +This a a book about relunctant lovers. She does not want to love and he, definitively does not want to marry. The potion that even its maker think a fake, might have some magic in it after all. They are caught in their own games and secrets and love finds it way. +A futuristic adventure thriller. A sci fi space romp. An Urban Fantasy. And Paranormal Romance. +And some of the numbers I question because, for example I gave up 99% of wheat in my diet years ago. And years ago I found that pastas made from things that were not grains, were not exactly like wheat pastas, but were pretty good. And I also noticed that they did not make my blood sugar reading so drastic as anything wheat would do. I realized that the pasta from beans and roots and pumpkin were what the glycemic index was all about. Only the lists showed they had the name number as wheat pasta. So it sort of missed what we were hoping to learn from the lists. +2018 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A worthy read. Good price, easy download and son enjoyed reading it very much. Would recommend it to teenager who enjoys fantasy and/or sci-fi. +I really enjoyed this story. I thought that it was more thought provoking on the relationship side of things and really was happy that Lisa was back in action. + +Strangely, few people ever make the observation that the ideas of Marx and Engels were not at all original. Thomas More (1478-1535) conveyed almost the same concept when he scribed his famous work: Thomas More's Utopia. In fact, people who have obviously never read "Utopia" would clearly not cite it as "the ideal society" if they were even slightly apprised of the numerous horrors of that fictional society. And so goes "The Communist Manifesto" in actual practice. +3798 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 ***minor spoilers ahead*** +Magellas' observations and opinions about rear-echelon soldiers, and the psychology of the higher-ups who did little or no actual fighting, ring true. He notes that it was the captains and lieutenants who really functioned as "leaders" of combat troops, and it was pretty obvious that Magellas was less than impressed with much of the upper brass. The British brass comes in for particularly harsh criticism in the context of the failure of Montgomery's Operation Market-Garden. Magellas also relates an astonishing incident in which British armor refused to advance to relieve besieged units of British paratroopers, which shirking allowed the Germans to massacre them. The author takes the trouble to say that he "personally witnessed this incident...." + +7303 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Children of the Goddess is a great series . I enjoyed this book as i did all the rest ,you fall in love with the men even though they are all very different . R.G is a excellent writer and I love reading the stories she tells.

It was interesting to watch Judy grow in her confidence as an attorney. Like all the series. +I'm so disappointed that I'm actually pissed I paid for this. + +"Dirt Music" is one of those novels that takes us to another time, another place - still, we can recognize the time and place. The time is urgent, the place, anywhere in this planet. +The first part, the left-hand side of Banville's objet d'art, presents a smug, self-satisfied roue. I was thrown off, I admit, by the cleverly planted aside about the "Hebrew" neighbor who watches the scholar as he leaves Arcady, California--itself conveyed sharply and concisely in its summery smells and languid allure. It reminded me of Thomas Mann in Pacific Palisades in exile from the Nazis. Cass, at her entrance, appears annoyingly at his side, as if to whisper calumnies in his ear; at his other side I imagine the older Kristina Kovacs recriminating him with upraised finger and brow before an academic crowd--the whole rarified and curiously solipsistic atmosphere of a lit-crit conference amusingly captured, again by Banville, in only a couple of pages (it took David Lodge, no slouch himself, many novels to do the same--which I also highly recommend!). The scene of the woman run over in the street, which may appear on the margin of this segment, disturbed me greatly; it can be seen only more clearly in retrospect as foreshadowing, I suppose. This section's characteristic passage shows Banville's prose at its customary best: "Flakes of ash from his cigarette fell on her breast, tiny, warm, weightless kisses." (76) +3111 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The formula is easy to follow, just doing it. + +The back cover says 'charts to determine your insulin resistance and check progress' implying you will find this information in the book.

Bought the book to refresh myself for when I have the opportunity to get out in the mountains, somewhere, during winter. Great book! +-RAND WOODMAN +7487 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I liked the Halle Puma series. I liked this book because it doesn't leave you wanting from the other books. I think if you are going to read them you should read them in order. It feels more complete somehow. They are shorter that a regular book but you don't really feel it. You feel it was as long as it should be. + +I loved re-reading this short story, prequel to the Alpha and Omega series. I liked it very much, and even though she has been badly used and abused, Anna has not lost her spirit; she won't give up, and even defends Charles when she thinks he needs it. She is not sure about the mate thing, but is willing to give it a go. After all, Charles has been nice to her, and he has saved her from her pack.

I've read some of them before but I love how she's talking about the Chosen and more about vampires that is new.

I am surprised by how much I enjoyed it. +110 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a great book. In the eighties, when this came out in paperback, I purchased it and read it in less than a week. I looked for my old copy, couldn't find it and then recently purchased a hard cover copy of this book again. It is the same enjoyable read it was in the eighties. For those looking for an enjoyable read, this book is it. The movie pales in comparison to the actual book, since many of the most humorous stories are left out of the movie. One example is the bank deposit box being broken, and please deposit your money with the fake security guard. What a laugh. This should have been put in the movie. +4867 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Kasey Johnson is a professional basketball player. His twin brother Garrett is a famous actor. They're both gay but Kasey isn't out. Ingram Fletcher is the owner of Liverpool, a night club that Kasey and Garrett frequent. Gram has been secretly attracted to Kasey for a long time. Kasey likes Gram as well, but he can't come out to the public. Can one night of passion ever be anything more? +3314 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I've been a Garwood fan since the release of The Bride in about 1973 and her historical romances are my favorite because they are light, funny fairytales that come to life with polite-lady heroines whose gentle, yet courageous manner wins the heart of their warrior husbands. This book never comes to life; Gabrielle allows life to happen to her instead of earning people's respect and goodwill. She watches life but doesn't participate. Cole is reportedly a fierce warrior yet the reader only sees him chasing around like a chicken with its head cut off. This fierce Highland laird submits to marriage with a hated English woman due to a debt, unbelievable. Basically, the plot has potential but is sorely underdeveloped. + +Alpha And Omega is one of those stories that just gets better with every reading and I think I have read it almost twice a year since I purchased it. Although this years reading was just as riveting as always the deaths in this story were rather painful this time so thankfully those are near the end of the story. The fact that this is one of my favorites and I have read it several times had me excited to give Alpha And Omega the five-star rating I was planning to give so imagine my disappointment after counting the edits that I found forcing me to give the story a 4-star rating. All the same thank you Patricia Briggs for creating an amazing world of shape shifters +Aislinn came off strong and determined from the very beginning. I loved that she knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to go after it even though it was not the accepted norm for her country. Many times she was so stubbornly focused on her goal that she missed or ignored certain aspects of a child's life. This was one of the things that made her so real to me. I could relate to that stubborn focus. + +As for the rest of the manifesto, it talks a lot about different kinds of communists which was dull, it repeats the word "bourgeois" far too often (but then this is a propaganda leaflet so they had to hammer home the message that property and individual freedoms are bad), though there are moments of strangely poetic writing such as "the robe of speculative cobwebs, embroidered with flowers of rhetoric, steeped in the dew of sickly sentiment, this transcendental robe..." (p. 42). +The plot is weak and unbelievable. The premise for the origins of vampires makes a stab at originality, but is so weakly supported that it is ridiculous in the extreme. The two central characters may be described as physically attractive, but are not 'attractive' in the sense that this reader developed any real feeling for them or their outcome. The 'plot twists' are transparent and spotted a mile off. +Now here comes the hard part. The author's overarching hypothesis is that the very existence of the energy exchanges occurring at the ZPF (the wave-based sea of background noise of the universe) implies that all matter in the universe is connected by energy exchanges (as ZPF energy waves) that contain a kind of information (via Fourier Transforms for instance) that can be "read back" to us as they spread out across time and space to infinity. +155 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Greetings! First off, let me say I am NOT a Elizabeth Moon fan....however this book was so good I had to come and write a review on Amazon once I read it. Overall, I found the storyline engaging and realistic. And I am glad she ddin't drown me in technobabble that I would have to look up. The DIALOGUE was excellent, interesting, and plausible. Many books are written that have lousy dialogue; this isn't one of them. I want to thank the author for writing an excellent science fiction book...and I HAPPILY look forward to more in this series.

I was definitely liking Henry Wright and the other characters more and more. I was glad to see that Mr. Wright was continuing to move on in his life. Even though there was just as much minutia in this story, the writing seemed a bit more interesting than the first book. I would recommend trying Albert Simon's mysteries. + +The plot of the story is based on a seemingly normal contract for a job that Boba Fett accepts with a mysterious client. Fett and his team are hired to start a small war. However, the war turns out to be the beginning of an invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong. Boba quickly realizes that they are supporting the wrong side, that success by the alien Yuuzhan Vong will probably mean the end of the Mandalorian culture and lots of other cultures. +Hough didn't drill down deep enough on Billy the Kid, who was born William McCarthy not Bonney, and who really was at the Maxwell House for an appointment with a Mexican girl. Actually, the visit was a social call to a girl that the Kid was courting.

Inspired writing, but not my reading preference (2 stars). +In this novel, Will is an apprentice Ranger from Araluen. He is just now recovering from his addiction to warmweed in a cabin within the foothills. The weather is thawing and they can soon leave Skandia. +Newt Gingrich's "Winning the Future" has a great discussion of this process as well. + + +Excellent writing! +4564 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What's to say if you read The Accidental Werewolf you already know how wonderful this series is. Dakota Cassidy doesn't diappoint in her books EVER. +1425 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Highly recommend that anyone take the time to read this book. I just couldn't put it down. She owes me a couple hours of sleep but I would say it was time well spent because I feel that my soul was fed. + +2265 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 In this excellent novel, a woman of the 21st Century is transported for purposes of scientific and historical research to the Italy of the Emperor Nero's time. The protagonist, Miranda, is a young scholar who expects to remain in the past a short time, and then return. But destiny has other plans, and she is quickly caught in the local gears, captured, and sold into slavery to a wealthy household in the city of Pompeii. Thus begins an excellent story. The author's description and portrayal of life in Roman Pompeii is startlingly realistic. I enjoy reading novels about life in Ancient Rome, and I cannot remember a single one that created a background and picture of life there as realistic and dazzling as this novel creates. If all that were not enough, this novel features a solid storyline and some excellent characterizations. +4263 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love the "original" Winnie the Pooh and these books are priceless. So happy I was able to get all four on the anniversary of Winnie the Pooh. I ordered the hardback books so they will hold up for my grandchildren years from now. You won't be disappointed in these books. +All you need on a blistering cold day is a hot cup of chocolate and a steaming hot book to cuddle up with. Enjoying the Show provides the steam with whipped cream on top. A total chick book with its quirky comedic parts: a group of women who put the ladies from Sex in the City to shame and a man even a grandmother would drool over. I found myself with an uncontrollable grin as I read how two beautiful people with less than stellar social graces came together for one fiery encounter after another. Marie Harte did an excellent job creating two characters, Gage and Hailey, you couldn't help but love as you laughed at their growing relationship. The added plus for this book is Gage's family; if only we all could grow up with such an eclectic and open mix. +The book contains notes by chapter, a vast bibliography and an index. McTaggart has performed a great service by making the research of a large number of scientists known to a wide popular audience. Sometimes the reading pleasure is lost in the overly detailed descriptions of various experiments and their preparation. Also, the physical descriptions of the scientists under discussion are often a bit irritating and unnecessary, although it might have been done to keep the narrative accessible and conversational. +Often in this book things and dialogue about something comes out of nowhere and you have zero reference to what they are referring to. In fact, you sort of forget that there is a murder investigation that needs to be solved because there are so many sidebars and unnecessary details, these doing little to give you insight to the characters. + +Brenda, may have presented Lena as a Queen Latifah look alike, but her love scenes for the character fell short of giving her the confidence and passion of Queen Latifah. And denied Lena of the earth shattering sexual experience felt by other female characters in this series. +8479 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 good book +Another flaw I can think of is the lack of magic in the story. No wizards, no witches, no warlocks have dared to show their face on centre stage of this compelling set of adventures. +428 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 The book is entertaining and frightening in places, but it's quite a bit different from other NDEs. In Storm's account, God is not a personal being, but a nebulous light with lesser lights fluttering around above. There're no streets, roads, buildings or ancestors. Angels don't have human forms and I'm troubled that Storm's experience is so vividly different than those of others. Storm obviously experienced a life-changing event, but I'm troubled by his insistence that there will be no more world wars (there will be), nuclear detonations (there will be) and that man will become better until 200 years from now, man will reach a near perfect state. I enjoyed I Stand All Amazed: Love and Healing from Higher Realms much more and recommend that. Also Lance Richardson's The Message. +The book has prompted me to take up knitting, teaching myself . I wanted to see if there was any validity in the premise of knitting to help you thru a difficult time. I think there is. I hope to find a group near me and it was inspired by this book. +The Markhat world also features vampires, aka the half-dead, ogres, Mamma Hog, a reader who mothers - and puts hexes on - the sometimes reckless Markhat. +The adventure follows the path of the group getting to know each other and they are all faced with their inner demons to overcome as well.

It is well written and certainly gives you the feeling of conditions in WWI in the skies over France and Germany. Well written and extremely informative + +8543 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 As the story of Lorna and James went on, I was pleasantly surprised with the way the author ended their story. Their story takes place in London and the spelling, grammar and lingo is very much England. Sometimes a little hard to follow but you catch on as you keep reading. All in all a good read. +3032 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I subscribe to this newspaper and find that it gives me an up to date accounting of world and local SoCal events. +649 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 fun entertaining book. i'm looking forward to the rest of the series +While Sowell is indeed correct that Marx and Engles viewed the unfolding of history as a "dialectical conception of reciprocal interaction", that observation does not answer the question: What comes first? The machinery, or new social relations, derived from machines, that interacts with the old social relations to produce the new hybrid social relations? Marx was emphatic that machines came first, then all else followed them. In his retort to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's observation that the use of machines was a consequence of the division of labor, Marx writes: +This was another great story from Ms. Cassidy. I enjoyed Ninas crazy story. I will say that I didn't care much for Nina and her smart mouth in The Accidental Werewolf (bk 1). But as Accidentally Dead went on I really grew to like Nina. There is a whole lot more to Nina then just her tough guy act and her smart-ass mouth. And Greg!! Greg is the perfect solution for Nina. Beyond perfect! I love their fights and make ups. I love that Nina always has one more questions. I cant wait to see these two in future books. +8035 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love stories of mistaken identity. Lords and Ladies and all things proper co-exist in this plot with a twist, as the hero and heroine work together to solve a mystery and uncover a devious plan. Great deal on the price, too! + +6606 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was a different "end of the world" synopsis. No zombies, pandemic, or virus. You can guess- it is a fog. The children grow up as young adults in this book, which I found wonderful! A refreshing read. You will see the endurance of the human spirit and can easily see what could happen in these circumstances. Not the "fog", but if any children were left to their own devises for a long period of time. Several people have made negative statements about a kid of 16 pairing with another, about age 27 years old. That would not be uncommon in this type of setting. The amount of people in this story are limited. Also, sexual desires often takes precedence over what would be considered normal. I never make comments of editing. I know any author is doing the best he can afford at the time. + +2203 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great seller. +7205 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great story line. Slow going at first but not too bad.

I read Hangman a month ago and thought, why did I stop reading her work? So I started from the beginning, again. This book kept me coming back again and again. The characters are believable and interesting. And to see the characters relationship build and grow is awesome. However, the who done it aspect is what draws me to her books. This time I won't forget. +Thumbs down. + + + +An absolute favorite! +Jo + +1679 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent insight into the mind of a real schizophrenia patient. + + +Beneath the story line, the book asks a classic question: How much should we suffer for love? +----------------------------------- +Ultimately, the police team led by the iconic Inspector Martin Beck finds that their best witnesses in the case are a serial mugger (who must be found and apprehended to be helpful) and a little old lady with binoculars who has been ignored by the police when she first reports suspicious behavior by a neighbor. She too, must be tracked down before her input can be used in the manhunt. + +6457 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was a quick little peek at the Angels series by Nalini Singh. Most of the characaters in this book are just briefly mentioned in the series to date (4 books) but it was a good quick read and I look forward to Ashwini and Janvier's book iin the future. +As a Civil War buff, I love reading ficton from that era. I found the book to be flawlessly accurate on the historic details surrounding the story. It was so nice to read about a Southern belle who wasn't a vain scatter-brained flirt, but rather a strong heroic woman. + +Sterling is beaten nearly to death and is saved by being made a werewolf by his mate. This is exactly what happened to Remi in the last book in order to segue into his story! So, the next book will likely be Sterling's romance. However, this was a minor hitch and doesn't make me want to read Sterling's story any less. I just wish it had been done differently, maybe as a choice this time. Langley did throw in a great surprise concerning Sterling that should make the next book more interesting. + + +1112 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good book! worth reading. +The title character, Oscar Wao, is one of those unforgettable literary figures, like Holden Caulfield or Oliver Twist, for instance. A character that becomes bigger than his book, that transcends narrative and becomes a human being. Early in the novel he is described as `not one of those Dominican cats everybody's always going on about - he wasn't no home-run hitter or a fly bachatero, not a playboy with a million hots on his jock'. He also hasn't had much luck when it comes to love. Early in his life, Oscar Wao had a brief period of luck with girls but it has long past. And he may suffer from an ancient curse called fuk that has fallen upon his family for centuries. +4426 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 very sexy unlike austen hersellf very satisfying everytime i yhink im done wiith mr darcy i get drawn bacnk in +This book was quite different - and really emotional. +It is of particular note the various punishments required for infractions of many of these laws. I covered the first 15 or so pages and I fear to tell you that had I lived at that time my life would have been rather short due to the fact that the death penalty seemed to be the main form of punishment...with drowning and burning being at the top of the list as to methodology. + +Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed +The first part, the left-hand side of Banville's objet d'art, presents a smug, self-satisfied roue. I was thrown off, I admit, by the cleverly planted aside about the "Hebrew" neighbor who watches the scholar as he leaves Arcady, California--itself conveyed sharply and concisely in its summery smells and languid allure.

Words that once meant one thing often come to mean something else. Take, for example, three that are currently worming their way into acceptability while driving the word police bonkers. 1. "Hopefully," when positioned at the front of a sentence as a less uppity way of saying "it is to be hoped." 2. "Presently," frequently used to mean "at present" which is wrong but sounds right, rather than "soon" which is right but sounds wrong and 3.

The question of the existence of emotional and intellectual synchronicity is addressed here. McTaggart also considers developments in artificial intelligence and speculates how these discoveries might influence the future. They are hinting at an immense human potential, validating alternative medicine and confirming some mythical and religious beliefs.

Her sister wouldn't leave the wagon train because of her fear of Indians around those parts. Sally wasn't afraid. She figured she hear them if any were around anyway. So she's sitting on this rock kind of drying off in the sun trickling water over her breasts while unbeknownst to her she was being watched. Standing Bear sat silently on his horse mesmerized by the movements of the young woman. He had decided to take her as his captive. His Woman! She had only been kissed once by Gregory, back home, who then went running after her sister, the beautiful one in the family. Sally was the tomboy in the family,not beautiful.

Omissions of Certain Twain Works - Yes, "Letters from the Earth" is missing from this "complete" omnibus edition. The fact is, Twain's one surviving daughter, Clara Clemens, who controlled her father's literary estate until her death in 1962, withheld publication for fear people might be offended by the work. She changed her mind in 1960 and agreed to allow its publication only after her death. So "Letters from the Earth" was first published in 1962 and will remain under copyright until 2032 at the earliest, so it could not be included in this very inexpensive omnibus edition. Royalties would have to be paid to include it and that's just not possible for something that sells for $2.99 per copy. +Shelbie Knight =) +By golly, they don't write stuff like that anymore. This is pulp fiction at its finest, a mysterious heroic figure battling the forces of evil and winning the heart of a beautiful senorita in the process.

When she is a couple months into her pregnancy she FINALLY confronts her husband who is still at a conference (who knew conferences lasted months) where she finds out he's been lying to her (she can't have a baby and an affair) and says she is done with him. Couldn't you have done this BEFORE months had gone by. It was just a bad book. There wasn't one redeemable character you could latch onto and hope they succeeded. + +Any book would give the basics, and the number of pages was also almost identical. And the cover comments of how wonderful the book was, seemed to all be by authors of almost identical books. And each book seemed to have the last third be recipes. Excuse me, but I have spices and ingredients thee authors never even heard of and cook healthy and very tasty meals people are crazy for and I don't need a list of a dozen ingredients to measure and out in separate containers to mix in a special sequence. I grab stuff from where and there and put it all in one bowl, and if they had given me more glycemic numbers for real food it would have been a bit nicer for the diet thing, but otherwise still great. +I also don't understand abusing another person because of color, religion, etc. +- ribbon bookmark +Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews. +In addition to the normal cast of characters we've come to know and love in the HALLE PUMAS series we're introduced to another character in particular, Richard, the new Alpha of the Wolf Pack in the Poconos. There's a showdown between him and Belinda, a Pride member who's having difficulties finding acceptance in the Pride. +3442 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a fascinating read. Knew about most of these but all. Interesting to see why he chose these specific events. +5212 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Every family should have this book. +Sexual Content: Some sexual rumor, talk and mention of rape and sexual abuse. Theres a darker flavor to this book. +1546 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was my first novel by this author...I enjoyed the story except there were a lot of Jewish words and phrases that I didn't understand...It was an enjoyable read +Lissi is a nice character, and so is Greg... In fact, all of the main characters are likable. Heck, I even sort of liked the "villain" (at least until he really lost it towards the end.) +4537 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Gold Star Award Winner! +7768 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the book that got me hooked on Bob Moats and his character Jim Richards.

Well written, you enter into their world, feel their emotions. Do read it. +2109 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This little novella is hot, and I mean HOT!!! Are the series of events that unfold unrealistic, especially when you consider the time period in which the story is set...yes! But who cares? The story has a sweet romance, and hot sex. Furthermore it's well written, and the characters are likeable. + + +7751 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Of the many bad things that have arisen from the new technology, self publishing is probably one of the worse. Innocent readers are assaulted by so called writers who have the will but no skill. I found the characters in Classmate Murders to be poorly drawn and the dialogue stiff and unrealistic. Remember: real writers get contracts. Wannabe writers self-publish. + + +Is this possible? Can someone fall in love with you simply because you love them? Can decidng to 'settle' on marrying someone really be a pay off in the end? And what about women, not only of hte early 1900's , but of today also- who find themselves absolutely consumed in their family and home- what is their freedom in life? And finally, what is 'crossing the line', when you yearn for the one you love to be near you..... +2410 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Needs pictures +If love hot doctors with sexy wicked minds then you will love this book. + +Side note on something that was written somewhere within the book: If we're having a problem with something you did or said, hormones or PMS can not be blamed for it. I'm so tired of men discounting what we think and or feel as just a consequence of the hormones. We are all human; we all have hormones that affect us differently at different points in the month. Having to deal with the pain and uncomfortable-ness of PMS makes us less inclined to put up with your BS, you're always full of it, most of the time we just overlook it. +Overall, however, Men in Black isn't quite the incredible work of constitutional writing that some of its endorsers claim. Mark Levin seems upset at the Supreme Court more for the trend toward more liberal thinking than for its supposed violations of the U.S. Constitution. If the Supreme Court was violating the Constitution in favor of a position that he and his fellow conservatives approve, then I doubt he would say anything about it. He also seems to believe that the will of the people is sufficient to trample on rights. It all adds up to a less than average book that fails to convince me of its initial premise: That the U.S. Supreme Court has excessive power and wields too much influence. It's a nice effort, but it doesn't quite convince. +The book also includes flashbacks to his mother's and his grandfather's horrible travails during the time of dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina. His mother's father was a doctor who ran afoul of Trujillo when he made an unfortunate joke about Trujillo and bodies in the trunk of a car. +Dr. Rochlitzs books are not sold on Amazon. You can find them at his wellatlast dot com site. I would immediately check out the testimonials page there for reviews by laypeople and physicians, and even a Supreme Court Justice. + + +The three novels are paranormal/fantasy romances that are fairly quick reads [or maybe that was because I couldn't stop reading- at bedtime, at work...], but the books are in no way short on character depth, emotion and jaw dropping sex scenes. The novels blend seamlessly together, each book ending with a sense of closure. However, Alexander keeps a good thing going with the conclusion of the whole story arc at the end of the third book. These are great stories with characters that you love (drop dead gorgeous heroes with flaws, strong heroines- no whiners!, and scorching sex scenes, including voyeurism & menage). The fantasy is written so it is believable (vampires, weres, psychics), but the fantasy setting is not overwhelming to the story. The only catch is that the books should be read in order, which is ok- they're all on kindle!! + +I wish I honestly give this book 5 stars. However, it relied just a little much on coincidence and plot twists you could see a mile away. How is it that EVERYONE at the circle has a compelling sad story? Aren't some of them just there to knit? The twist that finally brought the narrator to visit her mother was not much of a surprise---I knew it was coming. Even the surprise the mother has to tell was something I had guessed. +The settings are nicely described, allowing for the reader to place themselves right into the story. +In All He Ever Wanted, her tale concerns unrequited love, the results of the somewhat unlikely 'love at first sight.' Maybe this was more commn in the early 20th century, the era in which this book is set, but it was the only part of the tale that stretched my credulity. The story covers a lot of ground: anti-Semitism, ... abuse, women's rights, and academia. +Halt, Horace, Will, and Evelyn help the Skandians defend the homeland against another invading kingdom. When the Skandians are safe they head home with some new friends. +2814 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What's to say if you read The Accidental Werewolf you already know how wonderful this series is. Dakota Cassidy doesn't diappoint in her books EVER. + +But little known to Bridget or Rory, a drama is unfolding among the elite inhabitants of Mannahatta, particularly its group of Gods --- "of everything from Justice to Sample Sales, Guilt to Jaywalking, Money to Street Construction." The Gods are actual figures from New York City history who have been elevated to immortal status thanks to their contributions to the city. They remain immortal until their gifts have become devalued or forgotten --- at least until lately. One of their company has hired an assassin to use a special knife to kill the Gods and steal their powers, throwing the whole leadership into crisis. +3700 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A+ +Like Banville's narrators in other novels, the elderly Axel Vander of Shroud is unreliable and often dishonest, self-concerned but not self-aware. Consummately venal (though beautifully realized), he is a character who blithely takes advantage of whatever circumstances arise, with no concern for the consequences, except to himself. Cass Cleave, the daughter of Alexander Cleave, the narrator of Banville's previous novel, Eclipse, has visions and seizures, and Vander regards her as mad, but she and Vander develop a relationship of almost religious significance. He is a depraved and amoral old man living a life of personal un-truth, while she is a sick, avenging angel, striving to connect the disjunctions in her life so that she can become an integrated, whole person. +This book was awesome! Karen Traviss continued to do what she did best in the Star Wars universe, writing for Boba Fett and the Mandalorians. It really is too bad that she and the rest of the Star Wars writers had a falling out due to creative differences and that she is no longer writing for Star Wars. I would have loved to read more of her work in a Star Wars setting. +3169 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I just loved this book from the start. Kept me interested and the story just fell into place. No getting lost and , what a nice book to read. I recomend this book as one to get, as i have to my friends. You won't be disappointed. +The sex scenes were good, but I found myself so frustrated by the lazy storytelling and vague details that I didn't much enjoy this overall. The author was also kind of fixated on testicles. The hero's are "set aflame" when he sees the heroine (I asked my husband about this and he said he's never noticed anything like that happening when he sees a pretty girl). When he notices she has nice teeth, he wondered what they would feel like biting him there. At one point, he's thinking about her, trips, and hurts himself there. It was an unusual amount of attention to this area. + + + +6462 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a short book, a start to a wonderful new series. Nalini Singh once again brings a whole new idea to paranormal romance. I loved "Angel's Pawn" and the moment I was finished reading it I bought #2, "Angel's Blood." I'm very excited to read any and all future novels from this very talented author. +4529 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 . . I couldn't finish it. It is the first book I've given up on. It was just really boring and I suffered through 100 pages then just stopped. +I like pictures with my news. This is where the NYT shines. The USA Today has very few pictures to supplement their news. Kindle formatting needs some help. A recent article had the answers to an article, but, no link to the questions. +8096 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I was excited when I recieved this product and then started reading.

Right off the bat it starts with a sexy shower scene - my favorite! I don't know what it is, but the water, the steam, the whole thing just sets me off.

I enjoyed it and would be interested in seeing the story developed into a full-length book. +I only gave this book 4 stars because of minor editing and continuity errors. I would like to have given it 4.5. +I liked that there was a surprisingly plentiful cast of secondary characters. The length of the story didn't give much room for them to be fleshed out very well, but spending time with Gage's family and Hailey's friends did add a bit of depth to both main characters. Depth that I enjoyed. I was amused by the relationship between Gage and his brothers and mother. Those weekly breakfast/guilt sessions and the sibling ribbings that went on seemed very natural to the characters and situations. I enjoyed them a lot. + +4553 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Potty mouth Nina, has to come to terms with being immortal, and learning how to love Greg, without pushing him away, like she normal does. He tries to show her the ropes and feeds her blood, initially out of guilt, as he accidentally turned her during his dental emergency. But later, out of love for the woman, who has a unique way of speaking like a sailor, and telling you what she thinks. The final Svetlana/ Lisanne bout was interesting, as I wondered why Marty or Wanda did not throw Jim's holy water on her. At last, they lived HEA! +8824 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I'm glad I found this blog, its helpful and full of information. By far one of the most reliable and factual ones out there. +8263 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this book! I am a sucker for angst and this one has just enough to satisfy me. :) I realize there is the absence of females but in all honesty i didn't even miss them. They talked about the one woman leaving the ranch with her brother in law and leaving her kids behind, so that kind of took care of that aspect of it. But the writing was great and had me hooked from the beginning. I have read this over and over and loved it just as much each time. Tucker is more in love with Micah than he realizes and is just wanting to keep Micah from making a mistake in thinking he has a crush,but Micah knows he is in love and has been in love with Tucker for as long as he has been on the ranch. The marriage of convenience that Tucker thought up to save the ranch was brilliant on his part. He now has the ranch and Micah. There for a while you just don't know if Tucker plans to leave and break Micah's heart all over again. The angst makes it well worth the read and in my opinion there could have been more. Angst is the greatest when there is a happy ending. :) + +5358 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Hunter was a true beast until meeting his lovely Lila who slowly melted his heart. I've read this book years ago and it's always a go to for me. +The blurb for this book describes all three stories as "novellas," but only "A Matter of Size" is that long; the other two are novelettes. The Kindle edition has a few typos, nothing too annoying, but has no linked table of contents and prints the stories in reverse chronological order. +4237 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 While I do love this book, many of the recipes contain processed ingredients, some of which are higher in sodium. I've been making the switch to eating a 'clean' diet over the past year or so due to health issues. I have diabetes, high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia. Losing weight has never been easy for me, especially now that I have reached menopause. I have to constantly work at it. All that stated, there are days when I crave something that isn't necessarily 100% pure. One can only eat so many plates of salmon, broccoli and brown rice . Sometimes you need plate of nachos and a piece of fudge for dessert. Enter Hungry Girl. While I personally wouldn't make these recipes a main staple of my diet, I certainly see no problem supplementing with a few recipes from the Hungry Girl books. It's enough to take the edge off so that I don't feel deprived, yet without going overboard. It works. As far as the sodium content in some of the foods goes, I've learned to make 'tweaks' to some of the recipes. I never fully follow all the recipes exactly as they are written so I try to substitute ingredients with lesser sodium items, or in some cases, I just make sure that the rest of my meals during the day are low sodium so that I can allow for something a little higher in salt. It's all a balancing act. The bottom line is that I am in the driver's seat of my own health. If you are someone who is very strict about not consuming any processed foods, this probably isn't for you. However, if you need a special treat now and then that won't send you to calorie hell, you'll want to add this to your cookbook collection. I have several of the Hungry Girl books and they have been an invaluable resource in helping me stay on my program. I eat healthy 90% of the time, but the other 10% I enjoy a lower calorie treat from one of the Hungry Girl books. + + +This whole novel was complicated, gave me hope of a happy ending for the characters, and was bittersweet. I can't go to much into why it's bittersweet because it would contain spoilers. I didn't consider the book a light read, well, it was a light read at the start and evolved from there. To be honest, some of it I didn't understand at all, mainly because, as I mentioned earlier, there was more than one or two genres in it. But even so, it didn't stop me from liking it. The book is also longer than most, so it will take more time to read. +to admit that he is in love with a man, so Jake waits. +Anyone with health difficulties needs to cut out wheat FIRST to find out if it is a problem for them because if it is, nothing else you do will ever work. + +At any rate give the book a chance. I'm glad she is still writing even if the characters have some of the same descriptions...smelling like roses, smelling like leather, herculian men, viking men, all the women stood up to their intended...But it's all nice in its own way in my opinion. +1202 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another great set of stories. I almost fall for these guys myself. She makes them unbelievably perfect. Always a smile for how silly princes can be about falling in love. +Comments: + +1531 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thought this a very good piece of fiction writing. The characters were well constructed and were people I found myself caring about. The final outcome of the climax was not obvious until the very end. I would like to read the next in the series. +9633 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this book. I've read this entire series, and this is a great segue to the other two. Ms. Arend captures the essence of the wolf world and makes it her own. This book is filled with great moments - some super hot and sexy - and some really funny moments. Erik is so sexy. And he speaks several languages. Who doesn't find that sexy? I just want him for myself. Lucky Maggie who gets him all to herself! +There are ways to consume mass quantities of food and still lose weight if you choose foods that have volume, high water content, fiber and are delicious. Yes, I am talking about fruits and veggies that can be prepared in amazing ways that would satisfy the most ravenous appetite and picky eater. Then, of course, there's lean meat and fish. +1806 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Steamy hot erotic historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and Scottie Barrett does it well. She creates a dark and tortured, but oh so appealing character in Ryder. I loved how the book opens with him in prison and it's not clear where things go from there. It gave me a sense that this was not going to be the average predictable historical romance. Ryder had a lot of depth to his character and I could feel his pain. When Jessie comes into the picture, their chemistry explodes and the sex is off the charts hot. At about 3/4 of the way in, I thought things dragged a bit as they were both reluctant to disclose their feelings for each other and their lack of communication became frustrating. Hence the 4 star review. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining tale. This is my second Scottie Barrett novel but it will not be my last! +I am really enjoying this novellas very much and so with that said I am off to the next adventure in Halle. + +9742 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 There are two things Valentine Nichols wants most in the world: for Shane Daniels to truly see her and to find someone who's willing to take her education in the world of D/s to the next level. Though she's been in love with Shane for years, he's her brother's best friend and Valentine's self-appointed protector, so the first is out. Valentine's search for latter, however, takes her to a local BDSM club where she discovers the last thing she ever thought she'd find: Shane wielding a whip. Armed with the knowledge that Shane is a Dom, Valentine hatches a very wicked plan. She'll get Shane to notice her by asking for lessons in submission. + +5016 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 To read the Doctine and Covenants some time it is hard to understand. +4188 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It really was not fair, I was (am) enjoying a novel, I pick this book up (it looked so lonely sitting on a table in our den, I am such a sucker) read the Prologue then was unwilling to return to the novel until I had finished reading the remainder of this book. The story of how Sara Miles, Granddaughter of Christian Missionaries, daughter of avowed Atheists, Liberal-war correspondent-activist-homosexual-Atheist herself went into a church, took Communion and could not stop what that meal did for/to her is a one that is difficult to be halted once the telling of it has begun. + +The changing loyalties that were a central piece of book three, THE ICEBOUND LAND, continue in THE BATTLE FOR SKANDIA. Will is reunited with his friends Halt and Horace, who left Araluen against their king's wishes to search for him and Evanlyn. They also discover the large army of Temujai --- fierce riders from the Asian steppes who seem to be based on the Mongols --- and must convince the Skandians to work with them to prevent the Temujai from overrunning Skandia and mounting an attack on Araluen. +4265 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 gift +1230 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book was very good, but I wish it had more of an insight of what happened to Lance, Gabe and Evan after the island. How they managed their lives together. But all in all this was a good book. I recommend reading it if you are in the mood for a hot menage! +4531 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Quite simply, this book blew me away. It's short, but so powerful. Alice's voice is strong, even as she succumbs to Ray's power. Somehow, Elizabeth Scott gives us insight into a cruel monster of a man without ever making us feel for him, but showing, seemingly realistically, just how such a tragic kidnapping could take place. She plants the seeds of how even though Alice did everything she thought she was supposed to, and had been told not to talk to strangers, where there was a will, he found a way to worm his way into her trust. And in those few short minutes, her life changed. + + +95 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I gave this a five star rating because it is well written, and the reality of the content is simply amazing!!! It staggers the imagination that someone could be this young, this inexperienced, get away with so much for so long -- and now be free to write about it! He is indeed a lot smarter than the average crook, and repeatedly demonstrated a remarkable ability to think on his feet under the tightest of circumstances. The author doesn't attempt to defend himself, or even minimize what he did. It's admirable that he has so completely turned his life around, and ultimately made something very bad into something so helpful to society. +This edition - Penguin Classics - has an "introduction". I put that between quotation marks (Marx? never mind...) because said introduction is 218 pages in length, and the Communist Manifesto per se is about 40 pages. That's right, the introduction is over five times longer than the text itself. +Never has blackmail looked so dang good! Marie Harte's newest release with Samhain Publishing, Enjoying the Show leaves me wondering if I should take up voyeurism as a hobby myself! And if I had a neighbor like Gage Warren, I think I just might. After all, it worked out very well for Hailey, did it not? lol +No one knew she fantasized about Eamon since oh, like forever and same goes for Eamon with his hidden feelings for Sukie. +1597 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Every single one of Julie Garwoods books so far have been magical and amazing to read. I am unsure how to rate this one because I am worried that the magic for me just wasn't there. I am wondering how to rate. I did enjoy the book, just not as much as the others. I felt the formula was off. +6431 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was so good I couldn't put it down I just loved the way Mercedes was in this book she was too funny, I can't wait for part 2,it was a five star all day!! +- The story is filled with glamorous surroundings and people who are fun to read about. Who's not interested, on at least some level, in famous twin brothers who make People's 50 Most Beautiful People list, frequent A-list clubs, and stay in the executive suites of fancy hotels? + + +On the whole, I found that The Cold Dish had many more comical moments than the television series. The book provides interesting background on Walter and Henry including their high school and college years and their time in Vietnam, where Walter served as a Marine and Henry was Special Forces. But if you're looking for the characters to be an exact match between books and television shows, you might be disappointed. The book characters don't always look like their television counterparts (Walter and Henry are both much bigger guys, Vic is a dark-haired, olive-skinned Italian, Ferg is much older, etc.). Sometimes their personalities are different. Turk (Branch in the show) has a lot less redeeming qualities in the book. But overall, my husband and I are hooked on Longmirethe book and the show. And I guess its a good thing that we discovered the books because it doesnt look like the show will be back for season 4. We are already looking forward to listening to books two and three on our next car trip. + +Fated clicked with me instantly. I felt Megan's tenacity at not wanting to give up her pack but I also felt Shane's shame for being a werewolf. Lauren Dane has written a highly emotional story in Fated. Shane and Megan face real fears and have to make agonizing choices. +It is an invitation one cannot refuse, because Australian writer Winton beautifully infuses it with local colors and language that make it a very absorbing reading. Any reader can easily relate to the struggle of the trio of characters because they are very real. +The novel opens with seven-year-old Aislinn of Barbhe leaving her home and seeking out the king. She wants to ask him for permission to become a Lady Knight. Surprisingly, he grants it. + +I Highly recommend this book to all !! +As I've indicated in other reviews, my personal preferences for M/M romantic and sexual relationships trends away from dom/sub behavior and relationships, and that is theme in the sexual relationship between Jake and Remi. On top of that, Remi's willing submission further created an inconsistency in his personality between this book and the first. On a more pleasing note, Remi wasn't effeminate, nor as generally submissive in nature as Keaton was in the first book, even with his Omega status in the pack, so that helped. The surrounding story and the appeal of the characters allowed me to still enjoy the book, even with those issues. +The stories were great fun. I look forward to my next Maria V. Snyder novel. She has a wonderful imagination, and a great ability to create new and interesting worlds. +THE WIDOW OF THE SOUTH is a must read for all Americans, especially for those who whine that we should pull out of Iraq or Afganistan after they hear of a few casualities. Nine thousand two hundred men fell in one battle there in Tennessee on November 30th, 1864! As a Southern woman, this book shook me to the core. I felt truth in every passage and cried many tears in the reading of it. + + +Wistril is a wizard. Okay, we've heard that story before, right? Not really. Wistril is a white chair wizard who can't throw thunderbolts at the bad guys to defeat them. Instead, he has to be wily and sneaky to save the...well, not the entire world, but at least Castle Kauph. + + +* The way the two characters, Mav and Duke, surrendered to their attraction. Mav is confused, but he's not waiting for things to happen to him, at a certain point he schemes to get things between him and Duke in motion. +6748 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I just love this series and am continuing to read the next in line. Lady Julia's unusual relationship with the man who helped her solve her husband's murder (he is somewhat dark and stuggles with life), her Shakespear loving father, nutty brothers and most unique sister, all make for a wonderful melange of characters; the mystery almost becomes unimportant. Read this series; enjoy the flavor of the Victorian age and meet some really interesting folks. You'll want to go back in time! + +1. The time period in which these novels are set is seemingly insignificant. +This book was easy to read and understand. The book explains many of the scriptures that speak about Spirit filled living. It also uses stories and events from Dr. Stanley's life to demonstrate the scripture meaning. There is also a chapter about Spiritual gifts. + + +He states, "No promise of salvation is ever extended to those who refuse to accede to Christ's lordship. Thus there is no salvation except 'lordship' salvation." (Pg. 34) Later, he affirms that he is "committed to the biblical truth that salvation is forever," a doctrine also known as the perseverance of the saints: "the point is... that those whose faith is genuine will never totally or finally fall away from Christ." (Pg. 105) +From the beginning I was drawn into the story by emotional highly sexual dream sharing between Captain Sevan Vasil and Lorelei Janelle. Sevan is a Captain on a ship for Earth's commission and Lorelei is on a planet hidden from earth's knowledge. +* The fight scene didn't satisfy me. It seemed it was edited away, I don't know how to explain it. It felt too rushed, although it had the potential for something more exciting. Maybe it's because it's a short story, but I found the romance was ok, it lacked a bit of action (or angst, even if I admit I prefer the angst at a tolerable level and mine is pretty low). + +9880 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 There is only one story on this kindle version but i got it because it was lora leigh would have loved to have had jaid black's as weel. Lora's story is interesting and has the feel of a preview to a series but since it was written in 2004 and I can find no others I guess she chanced her mind or it was never her intent. Good read sorry there is no more short story. +I realize that the story is not an exact parallel, Janet and Charles are married 10 pages into the book, Elyssa's father is dead, and it takes place in America. But it has its own story that captures you and draws you in. I read it in one day, I loved it so much! +9724 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 When I first began THE DARK FAREWELL I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. It had a slow start-up and with so many characters (THE DARK FAREWELL takes place at a Boarding house in the 1920's) to be introduced in the beginning of the story it took awhile to introduce everyone and their personality types. However, once the story/mystery began I couldn't stop reading. THE DARK FAREWELL caught my attention and held it. +With a much smoother narrative, more realistic dialogue, and a deeper, more complex story, Langley has improved greatly on her With or Without series in this second installment. Remi and Jake are good together, and Remi's brother Sterling is utterly charming (high point of the book for me). Jake's partner Rhys and his friends are all strong secondary and ancillary characters, and the threat of Remi's father is far more intense and well developed than the suspense aspects of the previous book. Remi's past is brutal and heartbreaking, and the effects on his personality and character are realistic and traumatic. All in all the characters are likable and the story is sound. + +I also had to suspend my disbelief at the action Jane took when following Larry Coursen ("The Preacher Man" another charicature). +4956 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 What an interesting individual.

The romance was boring, and I hated the lovers-from-the-past theme. The reason they split was stupid and juvenile, and.......really? You're so in love with this woman (after all, he says he loves her about a thousand times with no response, which after awhile, just becomes pathetic) yet you stay away from her for 7 years, screwing every woman you can? Then there's the fact that Will's character just didn't match what we've seen of him in other books. He was a bumbling fool in this book. And Robin? Well, she was an immature bitch, and by chapter 40, she deserved to die for being such a weak, spineless idiot. The plot was so-so, and the plot twist of two different murderers was unnecessary and distracting. I've wasted a lot of money on this author. Don't make the same mistake. +9649 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I read alot of fantasy, scifi, horror, erotic books. I was able to pick up this book and understand the story without struggling to remember what the previous stories were about. The beginning was inticing, descriptions good enough to get the story across without boring me on details. It was a fast read, wish it was longer. Not sure if the price was worth it, since it wasn't a very long story (don't get me wrong, it was a normal length story, but I read fast). + +694 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I unfortunately started this series with the most recent book and had to go back and start over. I truly do love this series. My only issue was feeling like there was too much unnecessary internal commentary between the 2 main characters - not that some of it wasn't needed but some of it was repetitive. + +Get some tea, your favorite quilt, and curl up with this book, you won't be disappointed! +Home for Christmas is an absolutely wonderful tale about a mature romance between two friends who have long loved each other from afar. With a starring couple who are both over forty, Kate Davies offers a realistic look at love the second time around for those of us who are long past the first bloom of youth, but still young enough to entertain dreams of love and forever. +5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly. So the government picks who gets credit.

Facing extinction as they struggle against escalating Antarean attacks, the proud warrior race begins the process of uniting with the Galactic Alliance to ensure their future. +8796 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love Josh Lanyon and so it was a happy early Christmas present to find this as a kindle freebee. A freebee from a known, reputable writer is always a thing of joy. So 4 stars for that. It lost half a star because it was actually not my favorite of his works, and it wasn't as believable as his previous works. I didn't fall in love with either of the two protagonists - James the disgraced antiquarian or Sedgewick, the unlikely book owner. Nor did I find the reason for Sedgewick's hatred for the evil potential book buyer sufficiently compelling. So weaker on both plot and characterization, but a weak Lanyon is still a strong book, and certainly worth a read (or reread) + +49 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a pretty decent short story. Some of the new characters, such as the salt-addicted Arcona jedi, are pretty compelling. However, the story is included in Star by Star (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 9), which is a key book in the series, so there's really no reason to buy Recovery separately. +*END SPOILER* +STORY BRIEF: +3398 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Really enjoyed this book. Especially the back ground of Hawke. He was a smart guy. + +8948 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Anything Delilah writes is worth turning the pages. She writes so real that you get caught up in the story and just wanna crawl into the pages and jointhe fun. +I've read articles about Katherine Hepburn and certainly liked her as an actress and always for being herself and for her independence, but there isn't that much more that I know about her other than her long years with Spencer Tracy. This was an interesting choice of reading for me and I'd certainly like to read her memoir, ME. +In THE COLD DISH, Johnson creates a realistic story that is filled with a cast of zany and likable characters. He balances a blend of humor, suspense, tragedy and hope for a well-developed story. +9072 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Caleb is so hot & Sommer is so sweet. Im happy Sommer was able to grow & mature & finally accept all that was being give her. I hope Tasha gets a story & maybe a part to for Caleb & Sommer. +A very pleasant, charming, and well written tale. +The story thus enables Diaz to examine how nationality, culture, and language become more and more blended over generations (non-Spanish speakers should note that the book is full of untranslated Spanish words and phrases, which can be a little frustrating at times). The segments of the book set in the D.R. under the Trujillo regime tend to be a great deal more compelling than the contemporary storyline. The story of Oscar's mother's childhood and teen years are far more colorful and dramatic than the on-again, off-again romance between Yunior and Oscar's sister Lola, and are definitely more interesting than Oscar's own geeky problems. Fat, obsessive, and devoid of social skills, Oscar makes it hard for people (including the reader) to sympathize with him and his dual dreams of becoming the "Dominican Tolkein" and losing his virginity. The final section of the book, in which Oscar pursues love with the trademark oblivious obsession that has made him an outcast, is pretty much straightforward classical doomed love, and thus the least interesting and convincing. +2. This is about a war, slang, profanity,anti-semitic and anti Allah do exist in this book, but I think it's a fair for both sides +by John Flanagan + +2544 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My kids love this book, and I have to say I agree! So much of children's literature is poorly written and a real chore for parents to read, but this sweet classic is sure to win hearts. Nothing scary, no questionable morals or language here, just wonderful stories of friendship and fun. We have read the entire book several times through and I think they love it more each time! It also appeals to a wide range of ages, so if you've got several little ones this is probably a good pick for you! +1544 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Exactly what I would expect from Faye Kellerman. Her story is fun and her characters all move with intelligence and direction. Never sure who the culprit is too soon. Nice to see where the relationship in this story started as I have read several of her later books. +8473 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It was astonishing to me how utterly literate the 17th and 18th centuries were in the now UK, and how many phrases in common usage today originated that far back in time. Most quotes are philosophical and poetical. There are a few from Americans such as Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine. Quotations are short and make for light reading. Quite enjoyable! +Allison Brennan: 5.00: +I liked: +The Dickens with Love is a book lover's dream, filled as it is with hope, love, and, of course, an unpublished Christmas novella by Charles Dickens. Josh Lanyon has an unparalleled ability to write a romance that is incredibly sweet without being cloying. Both James and Sedgwick are interesting, intelligent men that have that everyman scholar appeal plus a little something extra. I was drawn to them, without being able to put my finger on why, other than Mr. Lanyon's talent for creating endearing, memorable characters. Like all of Mr. Lanyon's stories, The Dickens with Love is engaging, tender, and irresistibly sexy. It also has an extra dash of forgiveness and the joy of new beginnings, making The Dickens with Love a holiday treat that can and should be enjoyed all year long. Like the Stardust martinis James and Sedgwick so enjoy, The Dickens with Love simply sparkles. + + + + + +803 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I got about two pages into this before giving up. The style is clunky, the internal monolog doesn't gel with the character we know, and the story starts at the end of a chase scene that probably would have been really interesting if the author had bothered to write it. +8459 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 These ten books clearly show the authors as the 'Godparents' of Nordic Noir. +8499 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 If I'm honest, the covers of Budding Magic almost put me off reading it. There isn't anything actually wrong with it. It just didn't particularly appeal to me, too many bright colors for my rather drab personality. The story did though, so I reminded myself of the old adage 'never judge a book by its cover,' and I'm glad I did. It's an engaging story that carries you along pleasantly. Or at least it does after chapter one of Budding Magic. I cried in the first chapter, yes the first chapter! +4996 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoy following along with a popular lady evangelist who uses the amplified version of the Bible in her teaching. As the title of my review suggests, I was very surprised, and pleasantly so, that Holy Bible: Amplified was so easily navigable and such a joy to use and at such a thrifty price. +I don't think what we go through now is necessary.

Come on Times . . . get going! +The big However attached to the book are the many familiar elements which were so familiar as to jar the reading experience. While fantasy can't avoid some derivative aspects, there are rather loud echos of Tolkien and Lackey that seem too close for comfort. This is not to say that the book's overall tone is derivative-- it isn't-- it's just that some of the specific elements will leave the reader with a nasty sense of deja vu. It also seems that Karigan ends up too much at the center of absolutely every conflict far too quickly, but-- okay-- that's an understandable trait given that she's the only main character. +4845 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 fun read +4522 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Wildwood Dancing is a lovely mix of different fairy tale re-tellings.

The description given fits the book that comes in the set with: +9354 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book was really hot! I was not a huge fan of it regarding the storyline, but the sex scenes were awesome and the character's worked well. +The story opens on a morning in Stockholm, Sweden, with a man leaning on the rail of his balcony, observing the passers-by while he smokes incessantly. "He was of average height and normal build. His face was nondescript and he was dressed in a white shirt with no tie, unpressed brown gabardine trousers, gray socks and black shoes." We wonder why this individual has so much time on his hands. More importantly, is he looking for something or someone in particular? The reader is somewhat alarmed when a little girl, around eight years old, starts walking down the street and "the man on the balcony followed her with his eyes." Surely, nothing good can come of this. + +5091 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed reading the continuation of this story. I would like to read more about Elle And Dan's future. +3270 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have read several later books by this author and these characters, so it was nice to read this first book and get some background to their history. This is also a good mystery. You will also learn some more about Jewish culture. + +7150 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is one of my favorite books from the series. It is best to start from the beginning of the series or you maybe lost as all the books refer back to other characters. This book is very well written. The characters were believable and the story line enjoyable. There is sex, drama, acceptance and comeuppance for a nasty female character, which was delicious. Really enjoyed the book. +I'd recommend Boss With Benefits to anyone who wants something hot and steamy, yet, contains a little something more as well. Aside from some formatting issues that caused me to pause here and there, the story kept me entertained from start to finish. Be sure not to miss out on this steamy novella. +What I liked about all the stories is that everyone is likable. So many times in romances we get bombarded with alpha male, testosterone laden, treat the women like doormats heroes, it's nice to get men who are both manly and sensitive. All the women had spunk which is something I also like. They all stood up for themselves when the situation called for it. +6292 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed the setting of this novel. Growing up, I lived in Lindsborg for a couple of years. (Little Sweden, USA. I even got to dance for the King of Sweden when he visited) I have been to Coronado Heights at that very castle.

Bob Moats' Classmates Murder draws you in with interesting characters who are believable and likeable. His stories are romantic and compelling without the "lust and thrust" and foul language so often forced on the reader by many authors. I did not intend to get caught up in this series, but by the end of Classmate's Murders I was curious how the characters would continue to develop.

The 77-year-old George Funderburg's skin color is referred to in the South as "high yellow," but "up north, most people assume he's white." In Pig Candy, his daughter helps us understand why this was and is still an important distinction.

It is very mysterious. I'm willing to accept that magic is mysterious, and if the book was written in a more straight-forward way, it would possibly be boring. Really, I had no complaint with any of that. +- Jake is lovely. I like the idea of an uber-masculine man caring deeply about someone else and turning to putty when the other person is around; this is why I'm so anxious to see whether Langley follows through with the next romance in the series in particular. + +A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I haven't actually read the Wicked Lovely novels, but I am definitely interested after this novella part I. The story begins with Leslie's perspective and switches between her and Irial. The story is I suppose like a side one about how Leslie is coping with not seeing Niall (the Dark Court King) and not speaking to Irial (the former Dark Court King) who is watching her to keep her safe. The story has her trying to balance things when an unexpected harasser begins their plan that starts with her. +The Scenario: + +6307 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Barrytown, a mythical working class suburb of Dublin, is a rough place and growing up here you have to be tough to survive. A sharp wit and a sharp tongue probably help too. Sharon Rabbitte has all of these as well as an extra-ordinarily wise head on her shoulders. None of this prevents her from getting into trouble, but it does enable her to cope admirably when she does and so provide Roddy Doyle with a very special central character for his heartfelt book "The Snapper". Her path to motherhood was not something she chose, but she embraces the opportunity with courage and learning. Her journey is matched in the book by her dad's uncertain but increasingly caring re-invention of his own pattern of fatherhood. Their shared story blends harsh reality and compassion into a moving account about life, love and family and keeps you laughing all the way to the end. + +7028 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I wrote the below for audio version, but reading the kindle version even after the audio kept me turning pages. + If I was to rate my own personal top 5 favorites, this book would be on it, it has everything I love, an unexpected story line, likeable characters, a wonderful love story, and erotic situations that will take you places!

I think this is one of Beth Kery's best work, (Is it as sexy as 50 Shades, Yep!) and would highly recommend this book. +8278 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was a very well written short story. The anti- hero approach was very interesting, but you can't help but respect his decision in the end.

Not things I think are necessary for a nine-year-old to know about, mentioning these things wasn't important for plot development, I don't understand why they weren't edited out.

The title had me slightly skeptical until I started reading then that changed. First I was confused but then the pieces started to fit in lovely. Then I had the hardest time trying to control my laughter at all the banter between these characters. The love story was so sweet with a slightly rougher side to it. I like seeing the start of other characters relationships starting to form. I can't wait to see what the next one has in store. + + + +Dickens is one of the world's great geniuses; sure, he can have patches that are over the top in terms of romanticising a character, and he can occasionally get into preaching mode, but these small aspects are well compensated for by his wonderful ability to create memorable character after character and to create a universe that seems like the one we live in, but somehow just isn't quite. +8433 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 4.5 Feathers + +Kentucky Woman is the second book in Jan Scarbrough Bluegrass Reunion series and can be read independently. +7025 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Reminds me of the best of Tony Hillerman.

I started reading this book with the expectation that it was intended as popular science; but it assumed that the reader already had a background in anthropology and cognitive science. Boyer made his explanations using terminology that was unnecessarily complex; and although the meaning could be discerned from the context, it made the narrative into very heavy reading. Furthermore, he made many bold statements without providing evidence, possibly because he figured his readers had a background in this area and knew where he was coming from. The examples he did provide often fell short for me as a scientist--I felt there were too many obvious loopholes to the experiments described, and it was unclear whether these loopholes were addressed. Overall, I think this book may be interesting to someone who has already read a lot of literature in this field, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone with a casual interest, nor as introductory material. +9790 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 New Coastal Times is hysterically funny with lovable characters and a thought provoking concept of what may well lie ahead for our world. A definite must read for everyone! +8703 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this book very much. It was an easy read and a wonderful romance novel. I had a hard time putting the book down. +The sex in this book is so emotive and wonderful between the couple that I could feel the air between them crackle. When J.L. Langley writes a love scene, and that is what she did with Jake and Remi because it wasn't just sex, you are drawn into the minds of these three dimensional characters who tug at your heart strings. The other characters were engaging - from Rhys, Jake's business partner and best friend, young Sterling, Remi's brother who thinks Rhys is hot, and all the others who rounded out the story and made it such an incredible read. +5195 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Gift for granddaughters. +2620 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I think there might be a very good story buried in this book. However, a great deal more editing is needed to find it. It suffers greatly from wordiness. Let me back up my critique with examples: At one point Elyssa reached into her pocket and "pulled out a handkerchief she had earlier placed there." How else did the handkerchief get there? She also walked over to her porch swing "that was hung out there." How could she walk to a swing that wasn't there? We are told in one short paragraph that the heroine's father died suddenly, unexpectedly and prematurely from a heart attack. Shouldn't the reader be allowed to infer all these things just by mentioning his death with barely grown children, or his age at the time? The author seems afraid to let the reader make their own conclusions, even obvious ones. + +6110 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the 2nd book I read by Karen Rose. When I first started reading this book I wasn't really into it. I thought Jenna was very tough & strong. I enjoyed the scenes with Jenna & Steven's family the most in this story. The scenes with Jenna & Nicky made me tear up. Steven's wife was a very selfish, inconsiderate woman. I was really glad when Jenna's dog bit her attacker. I felt sorry for the killer's victims. The killer & his family was sick. Great job again Ms. Rose. + +Wolf Flight +5161 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have so much fun reading this installment and strongly recommend it to Dark-hunter lovers.

Apparently this prequel to other Rachel Vincent books in this same genre is supposed to explain some of the backstory and entice the reader to want to read more. If so, it does a terrible job because nothing is really explained and I had zero desire to read any further in this storyline. +3829 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Winner of the 2007 Man Booker Prize. The story unfolds as a dysfunctional family gathers together for the funeral of the dead brother Liam, who killed himself by swimming out into the ocean. Flashbacks abound and hidden secrets of the past are revealed. Enright's prose is unique: sparse, poetic, and evocative of deep mourning. Unless artful prose can keep you entertained for several hundred pages, however, this book is likely to be slow going for you. Although I appreciate Enright's masterful writing, I struggled to finish this book. +8184 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I'd not given it much thought before.. but, where would want to travel first if one developed a time machine?

If his homophobic father finds out, well...there's no telling what he'd do. + +There is little doubt that archeological exploration has been increasing steadily since archeology became an official discipline in the 18th century. Greater awareness has been one of the factors behind this. Nations have been taking pride in exploring their cultural and architectural history. But archeological projects require funds and this has been a handicap. Many believe that funds are more usefully invested elsewhere, e.g. in medical care and in fighting poverty. As in other projects, politics are becoming instrumental in setting budgets and priorities . +This book was a bit more melodramatic than the other Heyer books I've read, with mistaken identities, double-crossing, an abduction, a sword fight in an inn, etc. This is less appealing to me. On the plus side, like the rest of her books, this is "clean," without any sex scenes, or even any more than a couple briefly mentioned kisses. There's also wit in her dialogue, especially in Lord Rule's. But, I wasn't able to enjoy it nearly as much because of Horatia's character. +8847 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good mystery from a romance writer. I am 7O and still enjoy Heyer Regencys.

It turns out that those highly trained, highly skilled and highly ambitious Skandians from the northern region of the land have set their eyes on world domination, and it is not long before Halt can see the wood for the trees and rushes to convince everyone around him who will listen, that even the sweet, innocent, little land of Araluen is in danger of a foreign and very physical takeover. + +Instead of the usual view that starts with religion and attempts to make sense of it, Boyer starts with the human mind and its evolution. He looks for ways in which the design of our brain, in essence that what has made us conscious beings to begin with, has set us up for religion and religious experience. In short he believes that spiritual beliefs come naturally to us as an artifact of our thought processes. As our minds evolved to solved survival problems, they began to process information using certain modules. They also did so without the conscious knowledge or cooperation of the individual in many instances. As the author explains some of these modules make the concept of deities and supernatural events more compelling. + +Gabe's story is third, but he's the youngest brother. He's the sexy, layback, fun loving brother. His story was great. He meets Elizabeth who is the complete opposite of Gabe. She's prissy, a bookworm, inexperienced, and nave. Gabe and her clash during the book, but also have a big attraction to one another. Gabe takes it upon himself to show Elizabeth how to have some fun in life. This story was a little different than the other two since Elizabeth is different from Honey and Misty.

Often times the books come out too far apart to remember who is who. This gives the reader a chance to refresh all the characters at once. +Though the critics undoubtedly uncovered a misplaced fact or unwarranted conclusion here and there through the book, the errors were exceedingly minor in the context of Diamonds expansive hypothesis. It should be clear to any dispassionate reader that the academic reaction stemmed, above all, from narrow-mindedness and jealousy. The world of academia today is atomized. Specialties, sub-specialties, and sub-sub-specialties abound. Its not unusual for a scholar to build a career on the study of a single obscure question that, when answered, will be of interest to virtually nobody. Interdisciplinary studies are frowned upon in most academic circles. Generalists are regarded as not serious.

Sizzling hot and I would highly recommend this series!!! + +The geek pop culture references are fun, especially if you're a Tolkien fan, though I thought Oscar's nerd personality almost bordered on cliche. +The thing I appreciate most about this book is that Ramsey doesn't try to present some "buy my 10 step program for $500" pitch nor does he promise that getting out of debt is easy and painless. If it was, most of us wouldn't have a problem. What he does do is lay out a series of "baby steps" that if followed with "gazelle intensity", will work to get you out of the mess you might be in today. The first step is to get an initial emergency fund of $1000. Do whatever it takes... second job, garage sales, you name it. Just get a cash buffer so that you can get yourself off the credit card trap. Once that's done, you list all your debts and start putting as much as possible towards paying off the first one. Once that's done, then you roll that amount plus whatever else you can afford to the second. This "snowball" effect can quickly whittle down the number of creditors you have, as well as the amount you owe. Couple this with a budget and a hard look at things that have gotten you in debt (like that third car or the boat), and you're well on your way to reducing the financial stress in your life. Or as he puts it... "Live like no one else now, so you can live like no one else later". Each of the following steps builds upon the work you've already done, and it's a very logical progression. The book is also liberally sprinkled with a number of stories from real people who have followed these steps and eliminated incredible amounts of debt... Totals that are truly jaw-dropping... + +But little known to Bridget or Rory, a drama is unfolding among the elite inhabitants of Mannahatta, particularly its group of Gods --- "of everything from Justice to Sample Sales, Guilt to Jaywalking, Money to Street Construction." The Gods are actual figures from New York City history who have been elevated to immortal status thanks to their contributions to the city. They remain immortal until their gifts have become devalued or forgotten --- at least until lately. One of their company has hired an assassin to use a special knife to kill the Gods and steal their powers, throwing the whole leadership into crisis. +And when it comes down to it.

I read my sister-in-laws hard copy and found it so easy to understand that I bought it in a large print version for my Mother. I wanted it myself so we could study together and the kindle price was great! +Once again J. L. Langley has woven a tremendous story of love and acceptance. In WITH LOVE, Laine is endearingly accident-prone and constantly making mistakes. I found it humbling to see Devlin take him as he was, and love him in spite of his quirks. Laine charmed me with his first smile of delight at finding Devlin by his side. Their loyalty to each other was just the icing on the cake! +So I wasn't displeased to read it, and the words all flowed in the right order and I didn't skip any of it, and I finished it in one day. The medical lingo felt accurate and was presented confidently. But I had fundamental problems with both characters: Shane had huge inconsistencies and Kim was so controlling that I never warmed to him. So I never really bought into either of them. + +7302 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This entire series is a must have for anyone that is looking for a very interesting read. The characters are really developed. +4919 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I always know that when I buy one of her books I am gonna enjoy the story. Dana Marie Bell never disappoints. +Having said that, I loved this book! I was immediately, completely drawn into James' world. The story is so well balanced the humor mixed with the sadness and stress of the season, just when it is needed. Both James and Sedgwick's loneliness, born of different experiences, made the story all the more touching. + +Also... someone at NYT should read these before they go out. The Bridge column last week made numerous references to the missing diagram. I can understand leaving out some pictures, but vital pictures should never be left out. If you're going to leave out pictures, I think all the static Op-ed pictures can be left out. The bridge column without diagrams is pointless, so it should be added to items to strip out -- or to include diagrams with. +Rumor has it that this will become a film. Rachel Weisz is signed to play Georgia, which sounds fine. But there is a bit of a mystery regarding Russell Crowe and Colin Farrell. IMDB, the movie database, lists Colin as playing Lu. However, another report says Russell would play Lu. The other main male character, Jim, is pretty fascinating: he could be played by Russell but defintely not Colin. So I'm not sure which is accurate. I hope that Russell plays Lu, but he could do the character Jim Buckridge with a bit of a evil streak which might be interesting to see. +Law is usually a boring subject for most of us and this book is written in a way that is never boring. You'll have yourself Googling a lot of what is presented here to validate the facts and you will be hard pressed to come up with any dispute. +9627 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is my third outing with Susanne.

For one thing, it's not even set in the Regency period but a long generation earlier, during the 1770s. For another, the plot is much more sophisticated and the characters, both leading and supporting, are far more multidimensional. And there's far less dependence on impenetrable sporting cant -- except for the highwayman, of course, whose jargon confuses even some of the young gentlemen. + + +7901 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Now this is more like it!! I really loved Duncan and Tamara's story. I could actually feel the chemistry between the two of them. It was nice revisiting characters from previous books and I am really looking forward to the last book Man of Fantasy. Unlike Man of Fate, I could actually feel the chemistry between Tamara and Duncan grow from like, lust then love. + +The plot moves along at a good pace, with the back-story presented in such a way that it does not interfere with the action; and there is a great deal of action. The battles are bloody and messy; and one thing leads to another with vengeance.

The atmosphere of each book is wonderfully distinct and Raybourn does a wonderful job setting the scene - it's full of rich period detail, and everyone has a story to tell. The whole cast of characters is magnificent, including every single member of Julia Grey's rather large family - she's one of ten children. Although I sometimes solved the whodunit a little early in the story, Raybourn usually isn't content with just one crime: there's usually a tangle of them, and always had to wait for the end to see every detail unraveled. +PROS: Lila and Hunter are likable. Their chemistry is HOT. The author does a good job of developing these characters so that you really get to care about them. Excellent plot and story development will keep you hooked. + + + +I don't think I even noticed that part the first time I read it, or even the flawed characters. + + + + +1943 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The ending caught me a bit off guard, but the book was amazing!

This book can be read as a standalone. +1006 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Since being offered on the Kindle, I've purchased one or two issues of the International Herald Tribune. It's a good paper, with a broad international perspective. Just be aware that it's mainly a compilation newspaper that pulls its stories and features from the world's prominent newspapers and news sources, including many you may already subscribe to on your Kindle. But if you don't already get items like the New York Times Latest News blog and some of the dollar-a-month wire service news blogs (or won't mind the slight redundancy in articles if you do), go for it. Like the handful of other Kindle newspapers I've experienced, the Kindle edition of the International Herald Tribune is laid out well, is easy to navigate, and features a generous allotment of photographs. I'd be tempted to buy it more often, or maybe even subscribe, if the subscription and/or single-issue price was just a bit lower. But, of course, that won't be an issue with everyone. + +Would like to see more from this world. It definitely has the potential to grow beyond this offering. +Every writer has their own unique storytelling methodology/style, and, if this novel is representative, then Craig Johnsons style is one of slow, methodical, every scene drawn out, and at times laborious pace. Nothing gets rushed. It took me a few chapters to get settled into the slow pace, and the very slow development of the main plot. A lot of that slow, methodical pace is spent in the early going with character development. Slow pace will usually throw me out of a story. but the reason I stuck with this story was because of the writing. The writing is excellent. Character descriptions are well done and very creative. The descriptions of the geography were also well done and worthy of praise. It was the writing that held me to the story, not the character Walt Longmire. +I heartily recommend it, and especially recommend "Without Reservations" and "With Caution" (in that order), two more stories set in the same universe (the characters in this book have been mentioned in Without Reservations). While I enjoy the other two books more, this is still a wonderful and entertaining tale. +While I could not give this book a 5-star rating, I did enjoy the series overall. And I am looking forward to Sterling and Rhys' story, as neither of those characters seem to fall into the previous sterotypes I have mentioned before. +2489 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 helpful +Erak Starfollower is a Skandian Jarl and captain of the raider ship Wolfwind.

This helps to not only keep his business in the air but to keep his inner werewolf in check. He is struggling with what it would take to let his werewolf out. Since his nature is latent and must be triggered. Knowing it can only be triggered by sex with another wolf, and he doesn't want to just have sex to trigger the wolf.

I actually stopped reading it because I was so turned off. I believe that if you are going to write about historical fiction, you should at least use vocabulary conducive to the time period.

It has been a very busy night in the ER due to bad weather. Just when the Dr. Thinks he's clear to get some rest; there is another trauma call.

She suffers from hypothermia being that she was left trapped in her car for four hours. As soon as Lorna comes through on the stretcher the Dr. notices right away who it is. You find out later in the story that the reason they divorced was due to Lorna's controlling parents and deception, along with her miscarriage. Eventually they talk things over and realize they still love each other. +Oh, and one more which just came to mind: anything which uses a reference to botany or zoology as a comment on human behavior or the human condition, and then employs quotes from some book on the topic as chapter headers is right out.

I will not be reading anymore of the series. +9855 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 When starting "Devil's Lair" by David Wisehart, the first paragraph caused me to pause and reflect upon the picture the author had painted. It is 1349 A.D., "William of Ockham walked barefoot through the carnage. Slaughtered knights and fallen horses festered on the battlefield. A thousand naked corpses lay broken upon the earth, and in that multitude a few unlucky men survived, weltering in their own blood, crying out for God. The fighting was over but the dying would go on for days". The vision is surreal, and I had to think about that for a few moments before moving on. + + +The original story had multiple punctuation errors, namely placing a period in front of words that did not need one, and frequently mispelling Sergeant Gonzales as Sergeant Conzales.

Bravo. +4176 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 When I started reading this book I almost put it down to look at later because for me it started out really slow. But I stayed with it and I sure am glad I did. It really went in depth with the main characters and I found myself actually laughing in the later parts when that were finally realized what they meant to each other. Rocco was a most devine character and it took him time to come to terms with what "love" really felt like. I felt as if I was in the same room with them when they argued, it was all so intense and sad at times too. I really enjoyed this book but then anything by Sarah Morgan will be good.

First, does the world really need anther adventure fantasy based in a medieval world...something of a typical quest type story? Secondly, if I do not like the first book; and this is the first book in the series and the first novel by this author, will I give the following books a shot or will I just drop the series and go on to another? +This one is about Brett and Lisa, Lisa is a vampire and Brett is human.

But one night another vampire, one from Lisa's past shows up and has Brett guessing how Lisa really feels about him. +But my major problem with this book is that it is written for young adults. I don't quite understand the purpose of subjecting kids to this kind of story. It is definitely not a cautionary tale (as it might be for adults) as they would be too old for that and it sure doesn't teach them any lessons. The only thing this book will achieve is to scare them out of their sleep due to endless depictions of various assaults which in spite of their vagueness are quite graphic. +6784 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 They cover it all.from the city to the sate they do a fine job. But, where are the funnies? Even though the paper is for the liberals, many items show the conservative side +I honestly could have done without the whole attempted rape scene because it felt forced and unrealistic, but I guess that was really just so we could see why Will ended up the way he did. +Aunt Val needed a good slap from me...karma is all I will say. As I read My Soul To Take before I read the prequel novella, it made me even more annoyed at Kaylee's aunt and uncle....really how dare they be so disloyal to family. How awful to be placed in a Psych Ward when they knew what was wrong with her. Her uncle really should have known better. I am still a little confused as to why he even let it happen, it's not like it was going to go away. Kaylee needed help from those she trusted who understood. +The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore + + + +Perhaps my inability to knit and my fascination with those who do was an attraction +9213 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is the bait for the Delver Series. I really enjoy the fact (having now read all the current Delver Magic books- can hardly wait for #5) that each book is a story that stands alone. I love Jeff Inlo! +A very nice introduction to this series with this story. Johnson creates a range of characters you just love with enough suspense to keep you wondering as he writes, pushing you to think in one direction. Only to twist it back. +A personal reaction: I first encountered this book on sale for a dollar in a used book bin in the Brigham Young University Bookstore. The cover indicated that Frank had hid out for a summer passing himself off as a visiting sociology instructor at BYU. He was apparently a popular teacher and taught his classes by staying one chapter ahead of the students in the textbook and making heavy use of in-class role playing and other activities. Quite plausible--as a graduate student in psychology I "faked" my way through my first classes the same way. Nobody ever caught me, either... + +5929 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great start to this spinoff from the Mercy Thompson series. +Although "Me and...." drives me crazy, it may not bother you. Perhaps that is the way you speak and write, and you have no idea it is the epitome of laziness in the use of American English; if so, it won't bother you, and you will probably not even notice. + + + +I felt like they were really great together. They had a playfulness, and you could still see they cared for each other beyond that flirtation. They respected each other for what they were, and so when Lisa went to the club downstairs to feed, Brett (and I) thought nothing of it. +This short read was ok, but didn't impress me very much as a large part of the premise was utterly absurd. The conclusion that Lacey jumped to was not believable. Instead of the myriad of reasons most women come up with for failed relationships - thinking they are not pretty, too fat, too serious, etc. The only reason it could possibly be is sex. We weren't provided any specific reasoning for this such as she was accused of being frigid or something. I also didn't buy the alpha aspect with Nick. He was labeled that way over and over again, but didn't really pull it off, and act it. When he made statements such as "you see me as sexless" and I want you to see me as a man. With most true alphas, it would never be a question. +4581 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I Just loved it. Nina couldn't be more endearing. I just loved her attitude and even her potty Mouth didn't slow me up. Couldn't put it down. Read it in one evening. If Dakota puys books out like these I'll be in Para-romance heaven... +The Markhat books are pulp fiction with a lot of humor, a touch of noir and a lot of adventure. The pacing is quick. The setting is somewhere between medieval and urban fantasy; it's a world not that far from our own with magic and not a lot of modern. The Cadaver Client starts out as a sad tale; a ghost wanting to leave his wife some money, money he never bothered to give her while alive. So why not when he was alive? Well, Markhat has a devil of a time figuring it out--he gets beaten up, chased and even ends up in a casket over this one. He has the ever-strange Mama-Hog to help get him into trouble and a woman who speaks to the dead to make matters even more complicated. +I like Walt's character as well for his balance. He recognizes talent and he uses the skills of his people well. He's open enough to realize where he's lacking and where Vic is a definite asset---heck, he wants her to replace him as sheriff when he retires. + +3705 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Again I loved this book as much as the last one. Can't wait to read the next book ,am sure it will be a great story +150 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It has been a few years since I read this series (in hardcopy), but the books are very well written and I enjoyed reading the series. I may have to re-read them again just to refresh my memory - I definitely recommend them. +4155 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Very good English translation of the 1215 text and well researched biographies of the principle players.. +They meet with their client, Mitch Magruder, who Justin apprenticed with before going to his current job. Mitch and Justin share a friendly camaraderie, and Justin knows he can count on Mitch to help fulfill Amy's fantasy. Between the two of them, they work to get Amy to relax and unwind. But can Justin get her to relax enough to give him her heart? +946 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Books give us something to do besides growing roots from our butts from watching too much TV. +5831 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This series is very good, not taking anything away from Little Fuzzy or Murder in the Gun Room ( two of my favorites ). Paratime is an imaginative well written series and this collection of stories are in the original form, some of Pipers stories have been edited by third parties and are some what lacking. Piper is one of the best classic Sci-Fi writers and well worth reading. +8754 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was not my favorite of this series but it was darn good. Gabriel and Sarah are mates, they both know but no committment has been made. But Gabriel has made plans for Christmas. Unfortunately before that happens, Gabriel has been called as a Hunter for the eastern packs. Meaning he will hunt rogue wolves from any pack in his area. At the recommendation of his trainer he decides to wait until he's finished training to mate with Sarah, of course in his infinite wisdom he didn't tell Sarah that - men are so bright - not! +Poison Study starts off with our heroine, Yelena, being brought out of her cell in the dungeon to stand before the #2 man of the country. He gives her a choice. She can face the executioner for her crime of killing the son of a noble, or she can face the possibility of a slow and agonizing death at some future date, and become the official taster of the Commander (who runs the country.) +The storyline moved at a fairly fast pace. There were some twists and turns that left me gasping, once even bringing a few tears. Although the book is filled with Vampires and other odd creatures, it is still a very `human' story. +The characters were flat and lifeless. The author was disinclined to give any back story on the main characters, so the reader must draw their own conclusions as to the kids' personalities and how they came to be. +Truthfully i liked the very beginning, I thought it was going to be another wonderful read but found it became one that I gritted my teeth a bit more with each page. I loved how Horry interfered and ended up saving Lizze, but after the wedding she quickly became a character that drove me nuts. I think that's the saddest part for me, I did love her at the beginning and then she became such a...not idiot, but someone that had lost all common sense in a way. +280 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Don't listen to the fascists who have come here only to bash the words of Marx. They don't even know the words. These people have not read this book (which is depressing because it's a really short read). I read this for class and while I don't consider myself a communist it definitely has won me over on new views for the state, and class warfare. +5280 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 When I seen that I could get Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover through Booksneeze, I jumped at the opportunity. I am an AVID Dave Ramsey follower. I listen and watch his radio show almost every day. I have been through FPU online and through a class at my church that my Mom was the facilitator for. I am currently working through my Debt Snowball and hopefully will be debt free in the next 2 years. +7422 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 4-4.5 stars +5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly. So the government picks who gets credit. Just look at the student loan crisis and tell me that the gov in control of created is a good idea. That's going to be the next bubble to burst and because of burdensome debt that can't be defaulted on these kids are living with their parents into their 30s with no hope of buying a house. +Romance Plot: 5 stars +Meanwhile, Halt tries to gain permission to rescue Will and Evanlyn, but his requests are denied by Crowley -- leader of the Rangers -- and King Duncan is avoiding him. So Halt gets himself banished from Araluen for a year. Gilan tries to accompany him into exile, but Halt convinces him that one of them should stay behind to hunt for Foldar, Morgarath's escaped lieutenant. +Wyatt has missed Sara every single day since she left. He knows her pain and fears. But, as a hunter in The Council, he has to stop her from killing innocent vampires. In order to do that, he'll have to tell her he's one of the creatures she fears most. +John F. MacArthur presents a more radical approach to Christianity. In "The Gospel According to Jesus" he takes the reader on a journey to the heart of Jesus' message. This book is the result of seven years of serious study and it shows. He answers the following questions: +Aislinn barely has any time to notice. She's training with a shadow warrior, Ryu, learning new fighting skills. She also makes the acquaintance of a griffin, Alce. Eventually Ryu leaves, and Aislinn has dreams of him being tortured. With Caelan and Geoffrey's help, the trio save Ryu, but not before angering the king. +5344 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another amazing installment in the PsyCop series. I'm just going to get gushier and gushier in each review because I love each serving of this series that Jordan Castillo Price dishes out. I am fascinated by Vic and his history, and this book gave us yet another peek into what makes him tick. The characters are all so well developed that I can picture each and every one of them, and I feel like I know them personally. +The thing that stood out for me was the complex relationships between the sisters, and how much their personalities mirror the personalities of my two sisters and myself. And it was creepily illuminating to reflect on how our childhood rivalries influenced our relationships as adults. + +2543 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This book doesn't fit the description of the book given, a description that fits a book the same ISBN. (Sometimes publishers put out images of books before officially deciding on the final cover.) The description given fits the book that comes in the set with: +I really love the descriptions (physical) of the mountains, the woods, and other landscapes because I feel like I'm actually there. The characters, good or bad, are truly human. No super-heroes or super-villains. Not giving the murderer a name made him seem even more ominous. +Rating: 5 +None of Chandler's detective short stories except for the very late "The Pencil," featured Philip Marlowe, the hero of all Chandler's books. Chandler effectively stopped writing short stories (again, except for "The Pencil") after his first novel, THE BIG SLEEP, in 1939. Some of his later short stories resembled the novels to come, and their heroes were sometimes renamed Philip Marlowe in later reprintings, for example in THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY's version of "Red Wind." +1172 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Yes, much of this story (as with others in the Hot Zone series) is superficial and silly - old fashioned letter writing, suddenly falling in love with the computer geek from work, the entire scene at the male strip club, etc. But, that's kind of the fun of these stories. Personally, I'm a sucker for a hot military hero or cowboy romance, and Male Call (despite the awful pun) reeled me in. For an hour or so worth of reading, this story is definitely enjoyable. +7149 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've been waiting for this next installment in the Halle Pumas stories. Love all these characters. Lots of humor, passion, suspense, and a$$-kickin shifters! This one doesn't disappoint. Both Belle and Rick are strong characters and perfect for each other. Read this series if you haven't. Read them in order too. Can't wait for the next one. There better be one!!! +264 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great book! Another wonderful tool for building your relationship with God provided by Joyce Meyers. It's written in a way that you can actually relate to instead of a 'here is how you do it, now go live it' kind of book. Joyce shares her own struggles and puts them into perspective so that you can relate it to your own life. +A very good book fast and exciting characters a good ending. +I have enjoyed the Dakota Heat series. In this offering we are introduced to Dakota, who has had to develop immeasurable strength just to survive. She has had the weight of the world on her shoulders for so long, she has forgotten what it is like not to live in fear. She is afraid to believe in the strength and pleasure these men bring into her life. Dakota is a delightful character written with a hard backbone, but yet she is very vulnerable below the surface. She is well matched with equally strong men Joe and Colt. These two men haven't lived an easy life, and even though they have every reason to have hardened hearts, with Dakota, they are whole and loving. There are some very erotic passages that will leave your blood boiling that the author has crafted within a good story. This is a recommended read! +There has been no further sign of evil in the side of the destroyed Morgarath - but that does not mean another young usurper to his crown won't stand up and take control of all things twisted and evil in their own doomed attempt to run the world. Nor has there been any more major (bad) characters for the reader to dislike intensely. Margaroth was brilliantly drawn and represented in the first two books, and in some respects it is a shame that he was killed off so early. He was evil, but at least he was fun to read about, and fun to hate. +3886 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great book. Second book of Jennie Lucas that I have read, and I have liked them both. This book has all the greats, romance,fights, turmoil, and then the love. The author is great I can't wait to find more of hers! +7128 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I found most of the short stories entertaining so I will look for these authors. Thanks for the preview so we find never books to read + + +8983 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Very few of the free or low cost items on my Kindle end up being saved. This one did. I appreciated the intelligent writing style and subject matter. +Conclusion: +667 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love all of Lynsay Sands books. I have read so many of them, I can't keep the names straight, but they are all 5 stars in my opinion. +1408 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Brilliant! I read this more than 10 years ago and the love remains with me . . . +So begins the story and the unfolding mysteries surrounding this first adventure in the Project Exorcism series. +I had forgotten how much I love Anna and Charles, they make such a great couple which is something you really start to see in the next book but this story focuses more on Charles gaining Anna's trust than any kind of romance. The mystery surrounding what is happening within Anna's pack was engaging and I didn't want to put the book down for any reason. If you're a fan of the Mercy Thompson series then you'll love Alpha and Omega as much if not more and if you've not read anything by Patricia Briggs before then this wouldn't be a bad place to start. She really is one of my favourite urban fantasy authors and I can't recommend her books highly enough! +Her plans have to change when she realizes that they are really mates. She's actually on the run in a way from the Alpha of her pack who wants to have her because she is an Omega wolf. +2968 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely LOVED this series..... I read the 2nd one first (Magic Study) by accident, not knowing there was a #1 and #3.... and still, it was one of the best series I have ever read. The stories were new and interesting. The characters were different and likable (and hatable.) The twists and turns of magic, poisons and an amazing world that unfolds before your eyes has made me seek out any other book I can get from this author. Thank you, Ms. Snyder, I didn't even know I could love this type of novel so much! +I am looking forward to more of McFalls work. Thank you for this work. I highly recommend it. +9462 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is definitely more focused on the romantic loving relationship of the characters. This book has action and adventure but it is not the focal point. I recommend this. +9564 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 By the time I became interested in the story it was over. No development of characters and too focused on The Darcy's. Was not impressed! + I liked these novels because they provided an insightful picture of women who were determined, independent, and loving. Each seemed to be an ideal marriage partner for some strong and rich men. +315 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I like it just fine. + + +2036 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 "The Battle for Skandia" is the 4th book in the ongoing series "Ranger's Apprentice" by John Flanagan. This book is 294 pages in length. +The key is simply to recognize that all believers have the Holy Spirit living within them. Once you realize and understand and accept this, you will know what to look for and to listen for to be in obedience to the will of God. +1728 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 OMG, I can't believe that all these stories are finally together in one book. I've loved Maggie Shayne's work for years and was ecstatic to hear that a reprinting was being done to bring the first part of her series together. Excellent writing, perfect paranormal stories of vampires, and really enjoyable works to read. + +There is no overriding message to the story. Thieves get caught. The author (and central character) was probably the best young thief in modern history. Had he been more prudent, he could have retired at 20 to an anonymous Caribbean or Pacific island with luxurious comfort. Instead, the character seemed addicted to the thrill. Payoffs were stashed in a dozen or more spots all over the world. He logged over a million air miles. Countless women and front-line bank and hotel employees were duped by Abignale's charms. There is nothing wrong with a refreshingly original, plot-driven read that happens to be non-fiction. If at all possible, read this while flying--I can think of no better airport book than Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake. + + +If you believe, you will be amazed at the power of God to transform us. You will come to a new understanding of the Lord's Supper. +6255 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Extremely well written and full of depth to character and land and scene description. Great characters and storyline blended into an engrossing story. Truly enjoyed reading the series. Looking forward to more of Brians books. + +The story could be good, but it's all a little too easy. +4757 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 There are books that influence one's thinking, either by revealing ideas that are not previously considered or by changing a person's opinion by effective arguments. There are other books that confirm what the reader already believed, but rather articulates and/or strengthens those convictions. "The Gospel According To Jesus" is the latter in my life. +There was a stronger feeling of romance in this book than in Brennan's previous four. Brennan had a kiss that Connor and Julia shared five years before with which to work. The fireworks between Connor and Julia bespoke of strong feelings that could not be suppressed. +7867 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 well written and very good plot, it was a very interesting read held my interest during the whole time i was reading the book +6253 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This tale draws you in and holds you until the very end. Each page brings a new adventure and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. + +Chapter 8 is about Thera, an island in the Aegean Sea. In 1969 archaeologists discovered a whole city buried by volcanic eruption around 1920 BC. Did this event result in the story of Atlantis by Plato? The uncovered buildings were sophisticated. Chapter 9 discusses the Olduvai Gorge in East Africa. Louis and Mary Leakey discovered a hominid skull from around 1.7 million years ago. They were not primates and not humans. The discovery of a complete fossil skeleton said to be over 3.2 million years old was a huge find. Chapter 10 discusses the Tomb of 10,000 Warriors found in central China when farmers were digging a well during a drought. These terra-cotta warriors are detailed with individual features that represented ten different Chinese ethnic groups. This is the largest mausoleum in the world. It records the advanced metallurgy of China from 22 centuries ago. +This is a historical romance in that the words flow in an old fashion cadence... + +2687 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I own all Abigail Reynold's adaptations and am a huge fan. This one definitely is a departure from Darcy, Elizabeth, Mr. Bennet and even Georgianna's characters as we have all grown to know and love. Still, I enjoyed this clever take on what could have happened if. My favorite line in the book occurs in Chapter 3 when Darcy brings Bingley to see Jane in London: " 'Miss Bennet, it was not generous of me. I wanted to give you all that is mine, but to my misfortune, I discovered that I only possessed two things which you wanted: another chance for Mr. Bingley and your sister, and a book.' ... His voice carried finality as he raised her hand to his lips and kissed it lightly, trying to store the sensation to memory." Abigail Reynold's is a master at toying with our romantic sensibilities and this courageous departure from the original novel has much to recommend. +1711 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 exbfbuy +Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies) + + + + + +3496 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved all these stories.. There was a couple i had missed before..She takes you into another world...Great characters, awesome stories of love... A must read for all Maggie Shayne fans +Can a truce be called between Rebecca and Josh? +Bottom line: Sex was hot, dialogue was funny, characters were likable enough. I bought the rest of the series. At a less than three buck price tag they are more than worth it. +7190 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My wife is the reader and she loves it. +about her? +5324 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good Grief, you haven't bought this series, yet? This series overtook my life for a week. Im looking forward to #6. +Cover Thoughts: Its simple, but I don't like that snot color green at all. + + +6249 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It was clean and good won over evil. I thought that the male and female characters were well developed and the concept of sending love and acceptance to someone who was enslaved and helping others to become free was good. The emphasis on how wrong it is to force others to your will and take their will away from them is good. I did not leave reading these books with a feeling of being slimed. I left with a desire to be a better person. Entertainment with inspiration is a good thing when it comes to reading a book. I am now racing through the next 3 books and am panting to start the last three. + + + +A pacy and entertaining read which I enjoyed as a 42 year old male as much as my 12 year old daughter did. Well constructed, well written and a hidden gem amongst the multiple volume fantasy stuff that is around at the moment. +While Sowell is indeed correct that Marx and Engles viewed the unfolding of history as a "dialectical conception of reciprocal interaction", that observation does not answer the question: What comes first? The machinery, or new social relations, derived from machines, that interacts with the old social relations to produce the new hybrid social relations? Marx was emphatic that machines came first, then all else followed them. In his retort to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's observation that the use of machines was a consequence of the division of labor,(5) Marx writes: +And finally for the girl, I congratulate her for getting her freedom at the end :'/. +5013 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Ridges has some great insights into the scriptures, I love all of his works that I have read so for and this is like my sixth or seventh book by him + + +4095 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As the author of a popular horror novel, I was blown away by this book. As readers, we get to watch the exciting action unfold from the perspective of the monsters and the human beings - both trying to survive. The alternate dimension is vividly rendered and nightmarishly creepy. The idea of the stone formations above Indian burial mounds being portals to alternate dimensions is inspired and it is a testament to the author's skill that he makes it seem not only plausible but possible. I give this book five stars for being both a suspenseful horror novel and an exciting paranormal action/adventure novel. Highly recommended! +I'm just enjoying the hell out of this book, and it's been my oasis in the middle of a crisis, editorial mistakes notwithstanding. +7484 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I just finished reading the third in this series, and once again appreciated the fact that Ms Bell is as talented as she is. It was worth staying up until ten after four, in the morning. I only wish that there were more authors such as her. +The physical quality of the book is impeccable, with a beautiful slipcase and large font, and of course the original illustrations. What's also great is that the book uses the original British spelling, rather than being Americanized. Of course, you should avoid any of the Disney merchandising featuring the characters, or any of the abridged or follow-on commercial works. While I might not say that the latter is child abuse, what little of it that I've seen has no literary value and is complete junk. Unfortunately, the book's not quite designed to withstand a one-year-old's pounding, and I've already had to scotch tape the spine back to the book. Fortunately, there's no danger of the book ever going out of print and if Bowen ever wants a pristine copy we can easily buy another copy. + +None of this would work if you didn't believe in the emotions and Ms. Haymore handles them beautifully. You yearn for what Sophie and Tristan and Garrett have lost, you'll cry for them. This is not an easy emotional journey and at times, you may wonder how this can all work out. When Sophie says, "I want them both", it's not out of selfishness, but out of a deep connection with Garrett, the first love of her youth as well as with Tristan, the new love she's discovered after the years of pain and loss. +(Sorry if this review is a little hurried, but I'm hanging out to get into my library to see if I have book two, or if I loaned it from the library. If the former, then YAY, if the later, then I do so hope I can afford the eBook on Amazon. *sigh*) +There are still other grammatical/spelling errors, but this is getting pretty long. As you can see, those things bother me a great deal. Imagine how interesting this world must be for me to continue reading! I'm currently on book 4, and I've marked 158 mistakes at the 23% mark but am still enjoying it! +If you love a very dark and truely tortured (sex-exhibitionist)hero paired with a witty tough at heart surprisingly sensual naughty heroine-then this is your book. These two people were totally meant for each other..Bravo! +It's rare that I completely abandon a book these days. And when I do, it almost always happens on page fifty, once I've had more than enough of whatever piece of the structure I can't take any more. That didn't happen with Hades' Daughter, in part because when I reached page fifty I was locked out of the house and had no other reading material. In any case, over the past nine months, I have struggled my way through one hundred eighty-eight pages of this monstrosity, or about a third of the first book in a series, before the prose got the best of me. I can't really quote you a passage to show you why, because there aren't many passages that don't involve the kinds of subjects that would get a review censored in the places one normally posts a review. Which, honestly, usually means that book is right up my alley; have can you go wrong with almost six hundred pages of sex, violence, and combinations of the two? In short, by writing a Harlequin romance that's too violent (and long) for Harlequin to publish. The premise is interesting, but the execution leaves a great deal to be desired. I'd like to see a really, really good romance author take this on (Marjorie Liu would be a fine choice, I think), but as it stands, it's just plain silly. (zero) +8123 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Lived the characters went well together great story, wish there was more background and well more, it was a little short for me but I realise it was ment to be what I wouldn't give to have more with these characters. Like maybe their future lives together or something. Hot hot hot! + The author of this book, Laurie Horowitz, includes a special section where she explains how she came to write the book and why she deviated from the conventions of Austen novels. Basically, she has created a thoughtful, compelling book which takes into account the way society has changed since Austen's time - women actually work outside the home, they may be more independent, etc. + +BUT you do have a simple alternative if you want a full, electronic version of the Houston Chronicle. Simply sign up at their web site [...] and you can read the full version on-line whenever you like. + +4692 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It had been almost a year since Belle had been home to see her family, but she was determined to spend Christmas with them away from the disillusionment she felt about her job and current life. She knew she had some serious decisions to make, but wanted to enjoy her family for just a little while. Belle hadn't had a life at all. She was working eighty hours a week with absolutely no friends or dates to take the pressure off. +Ray Nicholson + +529 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent read!

Thanks + + + + +So many unawswered questions... especially about the girl Lydia who helped her. + +9372 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The tension is very powerful in this book. The sex is steamy hot. +There's also a whole section on the fees various people can charge, including doctors, vets, house builders and ship builders. +9665 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have been a fan of L.J. Martin since the first book I read. This one does not disappoint. The story is interesting and well developed with excellent, realistic characters. I look forward to more from this wonderful author. +2557 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have ordered this book for each of my grandchildren as they turn 6. I have one to go. I received a copy from my grandmother. My oldest daughter took a passage from this book and placed it on the wall in the kids' bathroom. So the parents do read it too. This is a book that should be read to the children until they are old enough for themselves. As this book was 1st released in the 20s and is still being published says everything. + Hicks has done his homework as the reader learns about plantation life, slavery; courage in war and the primitive medical care of the time. +Wow this author sure know how to turn a reader inside and out! (Shivers). +When San Diego's assistant district attorney, Julia Chandler, learns her niece is suspected of murdering her stepfather, she's determined to do any and everything she can to prove her innocence. To that end she hires private eye Connor Kincaid, the man who helped Emily once before but who blames Julia for losing his job as a police officer. Working together they discover a string of murders, all connecting to an online therapy group. Just when Julia and Connor think they've figured it out there's another murder which proves otherwise. Julia however has been asking too many questions and making someone nervous. If they can't uncover the truth soon, she may be this twisted group's next chosen victim. +I did the trial subscription to Reuters headlines and found it far inferior to the NY Times Headlines for content, photos, navigability, and writing quality. Try both the Times and the Reuters and the difference will stun you. +but their feelings for each other are lovingly crafted so that you feel involved in the relationship. I think that is what takes my breath away. The complete abandon of the love between her characters. Even as they try and sort the confusing feelings they still carry the emotion with such fragility. So hard to display between men. Evangeline Anderson manages to do that time and again. Just amazing! +Interlude in Death is excellent. The rest are entertaining. + +I agree with another reviewer: I would love to see these made into a BBC series. + +If you like this book, you should also read the sequel, Faith Works: The Gospel According to the Apostles; for the contrary view, read Absolutely Free: A Biblical Reply to Lordship Salvation and So Great Salvation. +4914 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really liked this one. It has a little of everything, humor, love, action... Very quick read, but would recommend. +9048 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was a great read!! Once I started I read the whole book. I would like their story to be continued!!!! + +8453 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I promise to be brutally honest with my opinion, but it should not be taken as fact. Any reader should read it for themselves, before they decide if this book has any merit or not. Do not judge this book biased solely on my opinion. If you do, you might miss out on a great read. You never know. It could happen. + +8844 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another fun read from Georgette Heyer! The audio reader though was not a favorite. I disliked her interpretation of the heroine. The heroine has a stammer, but the way it is portrayed sounds like she is showering everyone with spit. Not very attractive! +6990 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Don't read westerns and don't favor British cozy mysteries, but this western mystery with a cozy pace is great. Strong characters, exceptionally strong sense of place, and an intriguing puzzle. BTW, the plot is different enough from the excellent TV series that reading and watching both make sense. +4322 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love this book! The illustrations are charming. I bought it as a gift for a new baby and the parents were delighted. +Though all the odd names and different countries could get confusing, it reminded me a lot of the Lord of the Rings with all the strange names and words. It made the whole thing feel very realistic. +3293 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Someone is attackIng Orthodox Jewish women at the site of their most intimate religious practice. Faye Kellerman spins a suspenseful tale that teaches as well as entertains in this first of a best-selling mystery series. The complexity of relationships within a yeshiva community and with the outer world is gently illuminated here, at the same time a story of violence against women and their endurance, courage, and initiative are celebrated. This book and the series are one of the most helpful resources I've found for getting past stereotypes about religion in general and conservative women practitioners of religion in particular. Besides, you won't want to put the book down. + +Now in my case, I love medieval history and I am especially fond of The Book of Kells as I am into art of that era also. As a matter of fact, journeying to Ireland and viewing the original is one of the items on my "bucket list." I have, over the years, marveled over this wonderful book and have seen some great reproductions. These reproductions though cannot replace the original. I will state most emphatically though that I will never gaze upon the wonderful illustrations in this book again and see them through the same eyes after I read this essay by Simon Worrall...this guy can write! This guy can make you think! What wonderful gifts. +8442 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Real Estate can be a gamble. James K. Turner does a fine job of producing a story, based in the high dollar market during the big bubble. The use of journalistic license and kinky behavior keeps the story full of humor. + +Disclosure: This ebook was provided to BBMoreB free of charge for the sole purpose of an honest review. All thoughts, comments, and ratings are my own. +Aug. 2017 + +A common theme throughout the book is the primacy of personal relationships over loyalties to one's country or duty. This bears fruit when Erak's friendship with Will and his companions enables them to unite the Skandians and the Araluen slaves to fight against their common enemy --- the Temujai (portrayed as people who put their lives and loyalty to the common cause as secondary behind any personal relationships). With Erak's help and Halt's strategy, along with the skills of each of the companions, they mount a stirring defense against the mounted warriors. + +This is more than an economics book it is a way of life. It sounds good on paper but makes many assumptions. Instead of worrying about workability, look at the logic that is built on assumptions of that time (written, in 1848). Add this to your library. +4011 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 If you are going to buy Wallace Wattles, you may as well get the three books in one anthology. It is only two dollars extra. +When the Japanese invade Malaya, Philip discovers that his friend has taken advantage of his trust to help him gather intelligence to help the invasion, Philip has to make hard choices about how to express his conflicting loyalties. + +Finally, I love that, as for a traditional romance novel, this book is told from two points of view, both Anna and Charles. + + +898 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Grimm's never gets old +9420 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was the first book of this genre that I have ever read and all I can say is WOW! I loved this short book. On one hand I am glad it was so short because I couldn't put it down and if it was longer I would have never gotten any sleep, but I also didn't want it to end. :) +7596 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 if you love reading classic books I highly recommend this one. Its an excellent read and theres nothing better then reading a good book +9540 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It was a good book but short. +It lays out a structured plan that, if properly followed, will get you out of debt. However, be prepared to make serious lifestyle adjustments. If you follow the steps presented in this book, it could be life-changing for you (as many people that have read the book and taken his courses could probably attest to). +Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies) +In the words of former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall: You do what you think is right and let the law catch up. Only, it's not the judiciary's role to make laws and that's why Mark Levin penned his masterpiece Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America. The book came out in 2005 so, as always, I got to its pages a little late. Unfortunately, nothing is going to change in the immediate future so it remains pertinent. Some of you may know Mark Levin's name, but, honestly, before this year I never listened to his talk radio show. After a month I discovered he's the best host out of them all. He also excels at writing. Essentially, Men in Black mirrors his approach to verbal conservatism: it's insightful, concise, and ruthlessly on topic. There's not a wasted word here. What I found most attractive about its narrative is that he makes extensive use of primary source documents. He lets the justices, in their opinions, tell their own tale. The book is a compilation of history and cogent analysis. He discusses specifically several of the 100 justices who have been members of the Supreme Court, and their flaws were readily apparent. They were men, not gods. + +3969 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a classic in spiritual literature. I loved reading this years ago, and enjoyed it once again recently. +8874 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 If you are a Georgette Heyer fan, you may hate Penhallow. And if you like a fast-paced whodunnit, avoid this like the plague. Penhallow is not a fun book, and the story unfolds leisurely, but it is a beautifully written, complex drama of a family living under tyranny. Heyer was a master of characterization, and in this novel she has brought to the fore all of her talents for understanding and depicting the many variations of human character. +4829 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 In olden days in the world of man called Midgaard in the kingdom of Lomion, there was a gathering... Lord Aradon Eotrus was missing. His oldest son, Brother Claradon Eotrus, a Caradonian Knight had pulled together a band to find him. But just as it had been when Lord Aradon had gone, when the night came, a great wailing began...and the mist would descend... for what came was not of this world... + +One night was all he could offer her. As the title implies, one night was enough for them to get pregnant, even thought they used condoms. They try living together but all he could offer her were just a few days before he had to go back to his job, chasing storms. In the mean time she has a health scare and he flies back to be with her. He also explained why he has been skittish about the pregnancy. He and his partner were pregnant before he met Jane and planned everything out, bought all they needed and such. Unfortunately she had an ectopic pregnancy [where the egg implants in the fallopian tubes instead of the uterus]. The tubes ruptured and she died on the operating table. Having been in Antarctica at the time it took Mitch days before he got back home, missing her funeral. As soon as she is out of the woods he goes back to work. She tried just waiting for him but became so lonely that she moved back in with her roommates. +This is a very important and much needed book. I would encourage everyone to read it and encourage their members of Congress to read it and adopt the solutions provided. + + +This is a late entry for the best of my 2009 reads and it goes right at the top. I hope Parallax makes it to the big screen like Merz's Fixer series is coming to television. I'd definitely grab a ticket! +To tell the truth, the only thing that really brought me back to this book to gut it out and read through the rest is that the back cover promised some violence, something I would not have predicted from my initial experience in the reading. +6440 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love the interaction between Ashwini and Janvier, although they aren't my favorite couple, they are the most humorous. +2515 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 gift + +249 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Judy is a hard working lawyer. Get the job done. Her best friend Mary is still recuperating from her wounds. Mary's father, adored by Judy, asks a favor. Can you help my friend Pigeon Tony? he has been arrested for murder. +It's good as it is, but it could have been more. If you are looking for a quick read without necessary commitment, this totally works. +2792 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 "It will be over soon, finally, but the thing about hearts is that they always want to keep beating." +2008 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 13 year old son enjoyed every book from these series, refreshingly absent of witchcraft and vampires, full of epic battle excitement +7837 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved this + +723 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Had some good laughs +4220 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good read! +3660 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 great book +2. Her Russian Billionaire +If you're a word junkie, you may already know the truth about much of what they include. The bowler hat isn't named for its shape, for instance, but for Thomas and William Bowler of Southwark, who manufactured it. The jeep of World War II got its name not from "G.P." (supposedly for "general purpose") but from Eugene the Jeep, a popular character in the old Popeye newspaper comic strip. But not every inquiry has an answer backed by evidence. "The whole nine yards" supposedly comes from the length of an ammunition belt for a fighter plane's machine guns, nor has it anything to do with the three sails on each of a ship's three masts -- those have both been thoroughly debunked -- but even the likelihood that it originated in the American space program doesn't answer the basic question: Why not "ten pounds" or "seven miles," rather than "nine yards"? (Well, because it's an idiom, and idioms don't have to make sense.) +4247 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed this book not only for the clarity of the use of english, but for the simple recipes for all the dishes. +For some of the book you may feel frustrated that Elyn R. Saks thinks she can function without medication. Each time she is thrown back into a debilitating psychosis. The triggers are interesting and for that reason I think this book can explain a mentally ill person's basic needs for understanding and support. + +2670 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Obviously when I picked this book up, I was not expecting it to be exactly like Jane Austen. After finishing P&P for the millionth time, I looked online for some continuations or something of the like. I had read one once, that I enjoyed but couldn't remember (something focusing about Mary Bennet)and I stumbled across Abigail Reynolds books and lots of recommendations to read her work. +I truly believe that without this series, we would have no Twilight, no Midnight Breed, and no Blackdagger Brotherhood. I'm not saying Wings In The Night inspired those books, I'm saying Wings In The Night created the genre and made it popular. +4520 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I just loved, loved, loved this great fantasy book set in Transylvania. Jena is the second eldest of five sisters. They live with their father near the Wildwood, where the Other World is. On the Full Moon, they secretly go to visit the fairy land and dance the night away. But when their father falls ill and must go away for his health, her controlling cousin Cezar begins to take over the castle. Plus, there is trouble in the Other World. It's complicated, but in a good way. +3226 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Sheikh's Chosen Wife by Michelle Reid + +8630 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this story. Brett is a little to strong for my liking but he comes off good in the end. Antonia should have tried to leave sooner. All in all things worked out okay. Great book finished it in one reading. +3301 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A mystery within a mystery. I would recommend this book, as it kept my interest, it was well written and edited. Lots of intrigue. Unusual topic, rape within the Jewish community. +The problem is, "...absolute power corrupts absolutely," and when authoritarian dictators implement these ideas it always results in two percent of the people having everything and the remaining ninety-eight percent having nothing. +What I did like about the story was that the main woman was not a pushover and an idiot. She had spunk, and she didn't let the main man manipulate her like we see in so many other romance novels. I wish there would have been some more history between them instead of her being a cleaner at his office building and instantly sleeping with him the same night she met him. I just hate that kind of storyline. She was a virgin, until she met this dude who was arrogant and quite rude to her, and immediately fell into bed with him? Then she got her 'dignity' back and walked from him because he offended her about something else. It's a bit ridiculous. +First; Bravo to Lynne McTaggart! In a world that is overwhelmed with opposing views, black vs. white, conservative vs. progressive, science vs. religion, we have a reporter who not only realized that there is a middle ground that lies unfurrowed between science and religion but a person who took years from her life doing the necessary research and self-education in order to help define what this area is. Her book is well foot-noted and while her scientific language usage has developed past that of common understanding, she defines this middle ground with well thought out examples and the concise language that it deserves. I, likewise, have spent the past thirty years of my life attempting to comingle science and spirituality and this book has served as an excellent summary for the travails I have undergone. +6883 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Westerns--whether historical or modern-day--aren't normally my thing. I was familiar with the TV series--which I mostly like--prior to picking this first Audible edition to listen to (having not read any of the printed books). Overall, the listening experience was pretty good. I liked Walt, Henry, Ruby, Ferg, and Lucian from the book at least as much as from the TV series. I really, really dislike Vic in both the book and TV series. "Turk" \Branch didn't play enough of role in the story to judge, since he's described mostly through Walt's eyes and less through deeds, except beating on an old man. + +Nash Black, author of "Qualifying Laps" and "Taxes, Stumbling Blocks & Pitfalls for Authors 2007." +9091 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I think this was a great way for me to try out a new author and find out if I like her writing style. It introduces characters that are used in other books and is a quick holiday read. Overall, I liked the story itself even if it was a bit short and hope to read more of Maggie's books. +I LEARN about new things almost every day on DailyKos. Think of the Kindle subscription as a portal into a much larger world. You will have to turn on the wireless to pursue links to online material, whether it's non-Kos sites or links to the "High Impact Diaries" and choice comments compiled by each day's "Rescue Rangers" (who monitor the universe so you don't have to). However, most of the day's best material is downloaded to your Kindle for off-line consumption, so you'll be able to read "Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-up" (a pointed, sometimes hilarious summation of what the media biggies have written that day) in the lead-lined hospital waiting room. If you want to follow links to the original articles, just turn on the wireless. +But Patricia Briggs explores the opposite end of the spectrum in the novella "Alpha and Omega," which also serves as a springboard for her new series (a sort of spinoff in the same universe as the Mercy Thompson series). It's a tightly written, open-ended little story about an abused Omega werewolf and the unexpected love between her and a very powerful alpha. +(Transparency rating: 10 of 10) + +1547 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've become a big fan of Faye Kellerman, mainly after reading this early novel (I had read I think one other, later Decker/Lazarus novel before The Ritual Bath). In some ways it's quite different from some of the later novels. Kellerman's next-to-last novel, Gun Games, focusing in considerable part on the relationship between 15-year-old "adopted son" Gabe, a musical prodigy, and a 14-year-old Persian girl and precocious opera lover, verges on being creepy. The Ritual Bath, however, is an engrossing introduction to Orthodox Jewish life combined with a solid murder mystery. It introduces and lays the ground work for many of the characters who are in Kellerman's later novels. I strongly recommend that you read it first, or at least early on, in your exploration of the generally excellent Decker/Lazarus series. +Here are a couple of my favorite scenes...(quoted from the ebook ARC) +5974 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Mrs. Briggs has the best characters and stories. I'd recommend this short story and series to anyone who likes Twilight, Lord of the Rings, or laurel k Hamilton! + +CON: + + + +In Chandler's case he drew strength from his startling use of language to describe Marlowe's environment much in the way a detective would use his heightened powers of observation during an investigation, missing nothing. Marlowe was able to size up, let's say, a sizzling blonde, as a statuesque, full-bodied and ravishing dame and then pick her apart as nothing but a low-rent gold-digger. Of course that never stopped him from taking a run at one or two of them himself and then sending them off into the night, or to the clink, to fend for themselves. He also knew how to blow off a small time chiseler, a grifter, as so much flamboyance and hot air not neglecting to notice that said grifter had moisture above his upper lip indicating that he stood in fear of something if only his shadow as he attempted to pull some caper, or tried to pull the wool over Marlowe's eyes. Or noticing a frayed collar or a misshapen dress that indicated that a guy or gal was on cheap street and just maybe not on the level. +9969 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Real Estate broker Alice Harte has got her hands full. In the mall parking lot on her way to buy a jar of wrinkle cream, she gets accosted by a thug named Marc Hare who she dubs "Sunglasses". Marc believes his brother, Jug, was murdered (by beheading) by Alice's boss, Leslie Archer. +The writing was ok, but the plot very predictable. Mercifully, this book was very short and I'm glad I got it free. +4968 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Being a long time fan of Ms. Collins I found the Coker's story to be similar in nature. This is not to say it is as good or that Collins needs to worry about new competition...but I enjoyed reading this story for all the same reasons I am a Collins fan. +9039 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This happens to be one of the finer electronic newspapers for the Kindle today. If you love New York City you will love Newsday. + + +5502 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I had purchased this book prior to my WLS. With all that happened afterwards i forgot i had it. Finally i used it, simply delicious. I didn't have to tweek any of the recipes, and they got rave reveiws by my friends. +So I recommend the reader enjoy the story as historical fiction. Even if half his exploits in the book are true, it's still an astonishing tale of the expert con. More importantly to me, I can see how in everyday life--in the workplace, politicians, etc--the confidant talker always gets ahead of the shyer guy or gal who actually knows what the heck is going on. The USA at this time suffers from a crisis of leadership at all levels in all arenas, as we the people rush to follow the smooth talkers, ignoring the quiet facts. +1115 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the second book I've read in this series. I have enjoyed reading both books. This book pulled me in almost from page one. I would highly recommend this book. + + + + +Chapter 5 tells about the discovery of Machu Picchu in the Peruvian High Jungle in 1916. It is listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, one of the most perfect examples of Inca architecture. Chapter 6 discusses Pompeii, discovered in 1748. The eruption of Vesuvius buried Pompeii in two days. It preserved Roman architecture and artifacts. The fields around Pompeii were rich and fertile from aged lava soil. The eruption buried the town in a few hours so the remains are intact and complete. Chapter 7 tells about the Dead Sea Scrolls found in 1947. They provided information on biblical manuscripts. They were hidden during the Jewish revolt against Roman rule in 70 AD. This discovery was complicated by political conflicts. +This is well written, the story is believable, characters are real, all in all a good sit in the shade with a cold drink book. +And, furthermore, I agree with others who present that the inclusion of 21st Century social issues, while of importance seem out-of-place, even awkward, in this story. We are becoming more aware of handicapped issues and the inclusion of such in our educational systems but can't seem to wrap my mind around why they are presented in JAFF. +*I received this for review -all opinions are my own* +5498 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Very helpful after my surgery in discovering new ways of eating. Pictures were good and recipes were tasty. Would recommend. + +3. As for college - get your kids to apply for a bunch of potential scholarships.

The author introduces you to the lead characters by having the hero basically kidnap their baby from the heroine. Granted she had run away from him in her ninth month of pregnancy and he wanted revenge four months later and many man hours of tracking them down. The main hero is probably the cruelest male lead I have read in a long time and by the end of the third chapter I was yelling profanities at the heroine to find away to get away from him, but at least I was into the book! However, once they get into Los Vagas their chemistry burns off the pages. Anna desperately loves her baby and Nikos, but she believes he betrayed her and rejected her, so she leaves him. Nikos tells Anna that he would never lover her or be faithful and he plans on revenge due to the fact that he tried to still his baby from him. but as time goes on he finds out how possessive he his towards Anna and the baby. There are some really cute scenes with him, Anna and the baby where he is learning to hold the Michelle. This story starts out really rough, but if you can get through the first few chapter of the male lead's jerkiness the book turns out to be a pretty good read. Not the best in the world but pretty good. + + + +Just because you are a shifter does not mean that you are immune to the heartache and break of the real world. +Along the way, we applaud the indefatigable Oscar as he tries desperately to lose weight, to fit in with his college-mates and garner some street cred even as he strives to become the Dominican Tolkien in the stories he copiously writes in his dorm room, and to ultimately find a woman who could look at him and not turn away in disgust. +So far, book 4 is the best of the series. + +6229 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Yawn. Another history lesson coupled with search for undefined archane old lore, reduced to well meaning platitudes (fundamentalisnm is bad, tolerance is good we should all love each other, agreed, but how we convince of that the jerry fallweels and the ahmadinejads? Not with this book, for sure). The characters are unidimensional, and for the plot, well, let's say than Umberrto Eco in The Name of The Rose did a far better job, and he didn't presume to unheart arcane wisdom. +553 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I gave this book 4 stars because Olivia was the most likeable of the three heroines in the trilogy. However, I thought this book read slower than the others and dragged on way too long. When they were out hunting the killer, I couldn't believe there were still over 100 pages to go. + +My rating is a 4 to 4.5 star book. With Amazon I have to go with a solid number and in this case I'll round it to 4 stars. Given the fun Mr. McCullough has with this book it might be a little hard to believe that I'd round down to 4 stars but the action was a little slower than it was last time and there was a certain predictability to the book. I was a little disappointed with this and wish things would have flowed a little different. A major disappointment was watching Eris whimp out. I was also disappointed that Ravirn didn't grab toward Raven sooner than he did. Despite these minor disappointments, the ending is very good (the action picks up and brings some interesting opening for future books ( namely Athena, I'd also like to see him work Nike in). A very nice job Mr. McCullough! +5182 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This bundle contains 3 of the 4 books in the series of the Buchanan Family, made up of 4 siblings and a grandmother.

Langley is a male/male love story with all the emotion and caring any romance lover enjoys and the added bonus of uber-hot monogamous sex. + + +I really liked the characters of Jim and his biker friend, Buck. They both seem down to earth and life life. This also has other wonderful characters. + + +8310 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Unfortunately I couldn't finish this one. There seemed to be too many mechanical issues with the story. +I' am very relieved that John Flanagan has provided us with a re-boost of electricity since the last installment of his, The Icebound Land, was a bit dull of action. This book could had easily ended the series on a happy note... oh, I wasn't suppose to tell you that. But, anyway, be prepared for a lot of hardcore action (although not graphical, since this series is for young adults/kiddies), a bit of fowl language and on-the-edge-of-your-seat-drama! This novel really ties-up some loose ends and leaves us feeling happily content. So if you haven't picked-up The Battle for Skandia, make sure you do so because this is one series you can't afford to miss! +2735 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is sad, because it's about a young girl who gets kidnapped by a man and turned into his sex slave. He's functional and works, so she could escape anytime she wants, but she's afraid to, because she knows his previous victim was killed. The book is very minimalist (which I love) and a quick read, partly because you won't be able to put it down. It's exciting, the tension grows and grows, and you never know until the end what's going to happen. I will not spoil it, though, so get the book and see for yourself. +Having read these books as a teenager, I was hesitant to reread them as an adult. So many books that I loved back then fail to resonate with me now. Wings in the night did not disappoint and I was enthralled once again. + + +3873 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book considering the length of it.

You do NOT want to put this book down! Excellent read,thanks! +2212 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A perspective worth having. +9384 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I loved how Trick tried with all his might not to want or care for Grace, but couldn't help it in the end. In fact, the only thing I didn't like was the way Grace allowed Trick to treat her. It was as though she had no self esteem. It's explained in the end, but I like strong-willed and sassy heroines usually. She didn't ever gripe or whine about it though, so that made up for it. +The plot held my interest. It starts off when Aislinn is seven years old, and continues up to the point when she's an adult. So there were always lots of plot developments happening, as Aislinn gradually learns to fit in at the palace and help keep her country safe. The ending was definitely full of action and had me biting my nails. +3488 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 These stories kept my attention and were hard to put down. The author weaves a tale that helps you develop a kinship with the characters in this fantastical world. +It already is. +For those that have not had the opportunity to read or start the Soul Screamers series I would first say "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!" and then I would recommend that you read at least the first book before reading this prequel.

Many of the reviews were negative as to the price and the quality, so I looked elsewhere and purchased a digital subscription to Financial Times. I am very glad I did and would recommend it highly to others. Very professional, informative, and easy to use. +This installment followed two main storylines, jumping back and forth between Will and Evanlyn's predicament and Halt and Horace's journey to rescue them. Skandia is the "Icebound Land" where the inhabitants are mercenaries, and where Will and Evanlyn are forced into slavery. Halt and Horace must face knights and ruthless warlords that challenge them along the way. With plenty of adventure and suspense, this is a fantastic, fast-paced fantasy series. The main characters are chivalrous and brave, with high ideals. This series has become a fast-favorite of mine and my family. And as before, the mild-cliffhanger ending left me reaching for the next in the series. +My advice: purchase this book in the printed format. +1228 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book has two stories. + +Wisehart has written verse plays -- something of a lost art -- and it's not by accident that poets are major figures in this epic. There is some verse, but much of the prose, too, is darkly lyrical. This is an accomplished work that demonstrates conclusively, if anyone still doubted it, that independent authors can produce literature on a par with the best that mainstream publishers put out and propel to bestsellerdom. + +8616 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 liked it well enough to buy another of the 'tycoon' books. +7253 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I doubt I'll ever reach perfection in anything, much less loving Jesus but at least now I have some concrete steps to work on!

My only qualm is that there is a huge use of Latin with no translation, but overall the story flows well and the plot is much like Dante's Inferno. I liked the characters immensely and the writing was superb. +8855 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Murder mystery by my favorite romance novelist.

If you loved the original "Pride and Prejudice," then Ms. Reynolds 'variation' novels are a fantastic way to extend the pleasure. + + + +Gotta get another Longmire book. Gotta have. Please... +The mystery involving the serial killer has a limited number of suspects but it still was a challenging case with a few red herrings thrown in the mix. The crimes were pretty gruesome and heartbreaking as the victims were only 16 years old. I was able to figure out the killer about halfway through but continued to challenge my choice almost to the end. This is a very suspenseful story with just the right balance of romance. Steven and Jenna are sympathetic characters who seem well suited for each other. His children and Aunt Helen also provide some much needed comic relief to the story. + +Once we see the Justices and judges for what they are and compare that to what they are supposed to be, we can begin removing the powers they should never have had. We need to expend unceasing energy placing them back into their proper role and requiring them to uphold the oath each of them took to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. +7708 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 this is well written and has a very good plot.

Dave Ramsey's makeover will help you get out of debt and start to accumulate wealth. There is no rocket science in this book but it does require some life style changes and some personal discipline. Highly recommend if you need to change your finances. +Having read these books as a teenager, I was hesitant to reread them as an adult.

Georgiana is frantic, and believing they are engaged, asks Elizabeth to come to Pemberley. Mrs Bennet sees an opportunity and sends Jane with her. Georgiana is in such a state that it is decided to correct her impressions about the engagement when things are more settled. Bingley arrives and his and Jane's courtship proceeds quickly. Lizzy is kept busy tending Mr D and she is becoming friends with Miss Darcy, but something else happens: she realizes she has tender feelings for him. Darcy awakes and he is shocked to see Lizzy, accusing her of abusing Georgiana to promote Jane's romance. Georgiana is devastated that she failed her brother again, and she feels betrayed by Lizzy. Elizabeth leaves immediately, in tears, but she reconciles with Georgiana first. Georgiana discovers why Lizzy refused her brother, and because she feels Lizzy is right for him, she starts him on a course for a better appreciation of those whom he takes for granted, and of those he feels superior to. This schooling is very hard for Darcy and we have a few chuckles at his expense, but he is willing to do anything to win Lizzy. They meet again at Jane and Bingley's wedding; Lizzy tests him and Georgiana is creative in throwing them together! More than a few smiles and tears in this book, Lizzy engages in some sweet and slightly improper behavior, Georgiana is discovering sexual attraction as only a young girl can, and once again Kara Louise has given us a "keeper". +Whitey, a fugitive since 1995, fled just before he was to be indicted on charges involving 21 murders. His life of violence has earned him the distinction as the FBI's second most-wanted man, second only to Osama Bin Laden. +Edit - I see that a rival publisher doesn't like this review, as all of the reviews here were down-voted after I pointed out this was the better version. Tough. This is the Lovecraft version to get. +4164 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Remember that this book is out of print, But it you can get it on your kindle. +Also, its become rather rare in the Feehan world as of late to really have an artist male lead who gets a little flustered when his art is brought up. It was cute and refreshing. The cover finally got something after years of just really not having anything and the cover is not as amazing as the German edition but would still make me grab the book off a shelf to read the back. + +2656 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have read more of these than I care to admit and Abigail is easily my favorite author in this genre. She does take liberties with characters and story line but if that wasn't ok with me I would just stick to rereading Pride and Prejudice. +2266 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Pompeii was a wonderful place to visit and this book helped to relive the memory. Very intetesting take on story telling. I found myself wanting to read just one more chapter. Thought the description of life in the 1st centufy was accurate and truthfully harsh. Glad I read the book. +I do like this story, as I do other of Kara Louise's books and will recommend that others read it but will also point out these qualifications. +Cal is one dreamy Cowboy, with a quick draw and a reputation that sets the other 6 members of the train robbing gang to thinking twice before denying his offer to trade his share of the take for the woman they took hostage.

I replied politely that I was nearly where I needed to be, and no thanks. +Second, I already have over 300 books to read on the Kindle (most of which were free), and won't have them all read in the near future. Most of the free books listed for the Kindle are not books I would normally read; none were during the week or so that I read the Kindle Nation Daily.

It'll be a long time before I catch up on my library of available books. +Candice Dow has written an enjoyable tale of two lovers who chose separate paths and are reunited only to find their love has never diminished. Infused with vibrant characters and a rousing plot, I recommend FEELIN' THE VIBE to all readers. + +I enjoyed and admired The Gift of Rain, but I preferred Tan Twan Eng's second book, Garden of the Evening Mists.

They are thoroughly discussed in some of the other reviews so I'll just say that in spite of those things I really did enjoy this book and will probably reread it at some point. +The `humor' section at the end has a few essays/stories that are aimed more at authors, but they were still very funny. I also loved the one about James Bond's toys. There was another one that still has me wondering how you can kill someone with fabric softener. +4959 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 After civilization has been destroyed, mankind rediscovers skills forgotten by generations, the ability to shape-shift, read minds, or fly.

Hope this was useful. + + + +2115 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 After reading all the 5 star reviews I expected at least a somewhat decent story. This book is one of the dumbest I've ever read. The indian hero wants to take the white girl captive but can't because it might ruin trade with a passing wagon train and cause his village to get attacked....what? So for several days they just keep sneaking off to have sex and nobody notices. Then on the actual day of the trade the indian's white aunt who used to be a captive comes with the indians and none of the white people raise a fuss about them having a white woman. The white aunt then convinces the entire wagon train to let the girl marry the hero in the spirit of promoting peace between both people. The prejudice white people not only allow it, there's a priest on hand who willingly performs the ceremony and then and there and they live happily ever after. The whole story was idiotic and contrived. +Then there are the years of pressure from Lady Catherine for Darcy to marry Anne, the weight of managing an estate with money matters, investments, servants, etc. and the stress of rearing a sister, basically alone. Yes, we see a side of Georgiana that we do not read of in the canon. But I think about the age of this teen and of her isolation from a sister, an aunt, a mother, a female friend, etc. with whom she could discuss her budding sexuality and her attraction to or her acceptance of Wickham. Darcy rarely saw Col. Fitzwilliam, due to the latter's military career and his other close ally, Charles Bingley, is not one who could discern that 1.) Darcy is troubled or 2.) Offer up good advice about any number of situations Darcy had to deal with, much less, his love life. +7222 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Great introduction to the series. A little short. Just started to get interesting and it was over. Eager to read the next book. +For a one-stop shop of what's really going on on the left AND the right, you can't do better than to start with DailyKos. The most up-to-date information often hits here hours or days before you find it mentioned anywhere else, and it's interesting to see what the cable news shows do (and do not) pick up on. +6893 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson. + + +8398 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This story was good. It had twists in it that I did not see coming. I like how I could not most of the time guess what was going to happen next in the story. Some times the main female drove me nuts. But other then that I would say this is a really good book to read. +9394 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have to say that lately I have been very suspicious of the $0.99 Kindle books. So many of them where thinly disguised attempts at Cristian propaganda masquerading as a thriller that now I read the first few pages and only continue reading if the main character does not profess his/her religious beliefs. +This novel is really about how fate turns out, and how fate may be meddled with. How gifts may not be what they imagine, and that the time it takes to repair old ills could be forever. The power of true love, and the fragility of romance are also potent themes. Although we presume that the story must have a happy ending, at points you wonder how much damage will be done to Jena before that happens. +5780 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 So not for me to read. I am up for any good HOTT read but this one turned my stomach. If your into it fine but this was not for me at all! +Out of Bounds is a sweet romance with a lot of hot sex.

That's good, because it's very heavy stuff, and the short length makes it readable for people who don't like to/don't have much time to read. It would be a good book for high school freshmen to read for class... +655 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Normally I would have given this a 1 because i abandoned it as being silly. Since it is so popular I gave it a 2 as maybe I'm just not in the mood for silly, and this starts out silly. Have so many books to read I'm just not willing to plod along. I don't think it will be any different down the road. It opens with the main male character blithely getting in the trunk of a car - the other main character is having a birthday and "mom" is collecting him as her present. Then the birthday girl drinks blood from a guy who, it turns out, has pads in his shoulders, a fake tan and a cucumber in his pants to hide that he's anemic He's seduces her. So, he's planning on unveiling his cucumber once he turns her on? Checked to see if this was a teen read but from other comments there are sex scenes so I guess it's just silly. +A lovely story and another character I've fallen in love with. +35 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I bought this book back in January because the back of the book makes it sound very interesting. It's now July and I'm still not finished with it. I don't usually mind the first person point of view, but with the Van Tassel character narrating, it seems to weigh down the book and make it so completely boring. I have gone almost half way through the book and I can't see where it's going and I could honestly care less. The characters are very uninteresting and a book with characters that don't engage a reader is really hard to read. I have given up reading this book and it'll sit on my shelf until I can try to find a way to get rid of it, I'm just glad that I only paid $4.99 for it. I recommend staying away from this book but if you must attempt to read, borrow it from the library so you won't waste your money like I did. +3856 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Be ready to be swept right from the start into an historical and erotic novella that grabs you from the start and never let's go. +3371 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It's all good + +RECOMMENDATIONS: +Maya Banks delivers yet another captivatingly emotional read that promises to stay in your memory long after you've finished reading the final page of AMBER EYES. Hunter, Jericho and Kaya have deep-seated fears and issues which have dictated how they handle situations. Trust doesn't come easy for any of them but with a lot of patience, understanding and love they all have the possibility of finding happiness together. AMBER EYES is one of those stories that draws the reader into the plot, allows you to fall in love with the characters and warms your heart with each new revelation. I smiled, worried, laughed, agonized and cried along with the characters and wanted nothing more than for them to all have a happily-ever-after. Ms. Banks has a `mystical' spin on shifters that really captures my interest and definitely has me eager to pick up any and all future books she writes. +555 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 REVIEWER'S OPINION: + +9643 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Wolf Games +He also points out that we are concerned with what others may know of us and our activities, particularly of that we might prefer they did not. The issue of access to information, so important to the social animals that we are, is then projected on these invisible beings, who being invisible have easy access to all information. They become omniscient judges of our activities. + +This novel has some of the fantastic world-building I expect of Marillier, but lacks the historical detail I would have appreciated. I didn't really feel the space of the castle, or the thickness of the woods, instead it was more about Jena and her character progression. Nothing wrong with that at all, I'm glad she didn't stagnate like Cezar. +wonderful writing style.

I also read Liberty & Tyranny by the same author and this book was far less partisan. Although there were a few times where it seemed like his right-wing views seemed to cloud his arguments, for the most part his arguments and information followed a reasonable logic. +So how does Calvin relieve the tension that everyday life is causing him? He conjures up elaborate and sometimes morbid road rage scenarios that I'm sure many of us have daydreamed about. Beware! The other drivers on the road are about to get what's coming to them. If you thought Kathy Bates slamming her automobile into a teen's car who cut her off for a parking space in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes was bad, then you haven't seen anything yet! But as our protagonist spirals out of control with no means of hope in sight, reality and fantasy begin to mix and Calvin finds himself behind the wheel and eager to make his vengeful dreams come true. +should have reread Chaucer. +When Alice was ten, Ray took her away from her family, her friends--her life.

Its not. It turned out to be a very good mystery with greed, humor and romance thrown in. I have to say that I stayed as confused as the characters did in who was working with whom and who was the bad guy and the good guy. Usually you can tell who "dunnit" soon after all the pieces fall into place, but this one was totally different. You know who did it, you just had to figure out how they were gonna get him.

Held my attention and satisfied the JA-phile in me! +The Forsyte Saga is indeed a saga -- it stretches from the stuffy Victorian era into the first bloom of the roaring twenties.

The pilgrims follow the path of Dante's Inferno but their battle with evil is foremost a personal quest for truth and their own redemption. In this remarkable work, the Holy Grail itself, that allusive and coveted chalice, is given new meaning, which is unveiled in another one of David Wisehart's surprise endings. Beautifully told, full of vivid details and references to medieval history and literature, the Devil's Lair goes far beyond the genre of mere fantasy. Brilliant! +7233 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 It is very frustrating to see authors/publishers loading part of a story for free and then selling you the follow-up pieces. Free books should be free.

James is the perfect victim for a churlish Xmas Cupids arrow and you will lose yourself to his romantic pursuit of the stuffy but gorgeous English chemistry professor. Sadly you will long to read the "lost" Dickensian novel that brings our lovers together, but alas it is not real. However like all good Christmas stores, James romance has a happy ending. + +6452 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book was too short by half. I would have loved it to have more detail especially in the back story on Ash. Still, it was superb as part of the series. I will definitely be reading more in the series. + + +The author discovered an irresistible urge to "feed My (Christ's) sheep" as she journeyed deeper into this Christ-Life. This memoir is about how she saw the Gospel as needing to continue to be incarnate - the Gospel is about people touching people in community. The best way to for her to "preach" this Good News was by opening a food pantry in her Episcopal Church (it is good to know Baptists are not the only ones who get freaked out by such actions). The struggles, joys, rewards and difficulties experienced in "doing" this part of the Gospel are commensurate with the promises of Christ, i.e. those who will understand this message are the poorest among humanity, those who are most threatened by it are those who have "it all together" and this will NOT be easy. People are real, dirty, hurt, crazy, hungry and play by their own rules, even those who "get it" will be difficult to love, at times. +250 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is the 6th Lisa Scottoline book I have read and except for some loose ends and sometimes the language, I think it is the best one I have read. Bennie Rosato is a very good lawyer, she is contacted by Alice Connolly who claims to be her twin. Alice is in jail for a murder she says she did not do. Bennie takes the case and then begins to uncover a conspiracy between the cops involved an attorney and even the judge. A retired cop, named Lou, is very helpful. I hope he is used again. The case goes to trial, you don't know until the last if Connolly is guilty or not or is she is a twin to Rosato or not. And after the trail, what happenes to Connolly. It all has a very good twist to the ending, at least one I did not expect. The action moves better than some of her other books and I enjoyed it very much. Would love to write the ending as it is very shocking but you will have to read the book. +6928 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Very entertaining. I loved the characters, the setting descriptions, the twists in the plot. Serious subject matter, but there's a lot of humor here as well. I will definitely continue with the series of novels. +4828 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 If you are a hard-core fantasy fan, you are sure to love this swords and sworcery adventure. Thater has imbued our medieval world with honor, courage and magic. This is a place where average men fight alongside godlike warriors. When the bank of fog rolls in and ancient ruins begin to reconstitute, you can either run or stand at the gates of chaos and protect your world.

What I like the most is that Chopra doesn't "pigeon hole" Jesus or Christianity. The author also parallels Jesus' words with other religious practices, Outstanding for seekers! + + The author's metaphysical description of unseen forces in the universe are interesting, and certainly easy to understand and think about, whether or not those forces actually exist in the form the author presents. It is easy to treat that analysis as an analogy, it is a good framework for things no one has successfully fully descibed or proven. One's own experience in applying the author's principles for action will undoubtedly give results that will conform to the expected outcomes suggested by the philosophical framework presented by the author. +Each of the characters is strained to his or her limit. Halt commits treason against his beloved country in order to search for his apprentice. Horace questions the codes of chivalry when he encounters those using them for selfish ends. Evanlyn bears the burden of Will's survival in harsh conditions she was not raised to endure. +111 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 If you have seen the movie, and read the book, then you know that even though the movie is decent, it doesn't hold a candle to the book. This is a work of genius. Focus on The Family radio played Frank Abagnale's testimony, and it sounds almost unbelievable, but there's things in here that you can't talk about and just make up to talk about. I read the chapter about the French prison system. To just imagine the conditions of being confined like that, WHEW! The most accurate part in the movie had to be when he impersonated a doctor, and when it came down to it, went before a medical board, answered a few questions (which the movie didn't show), and became not only a pediatrician, but the head pediatrician down south in a hospital. Amazing book. +Casey, Sawyer son, was also more involved in this story and there's one he's in called Enticing. +6736 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent reading + +7935 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My Soul to Lose is a novella set in the world of author Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series prior to the events that take place in the first full-length book in the series, My Soul to Take. +This is definitely a book that I will read many times over. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. + +6535 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This was a novel that could have used some serious editing. It was easy to predict who the killer was. + +1796 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It disappoints me that I can not be more enthusiastic about "Men In Black." Though I consider myself a conservative, I find that Mark Levin goes beyond conservativism into partisanship. +Fans of Annmarie McKenna's work will be delighted when they recognize the hero of Look What Santa Brought as the very same Scott Wyatt we first met in her book Blackmailed. Yes, this is the same Scott that is Brianna's little brother! Of course, this new story takes place years later and Scott is one very sexy adult man now, ready for his own shot at romance with the woman of his dreams. +1088 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoy the character "Hawke" created by this author. Who expects a the piano player in the bar to be a gunfighter fast as lightning! This series is enjoyable to say the least. Vaughan writes good stories. +7757 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Nice pace, story moves well. Some unexpected twists keep it interesting. Echos of Robert B. Parker with a slightly bumbling hero. +3905 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 4.5 stars. Best book in the series so far! +3875 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 From the first page I was captured by Nikita Black's story. Ms Black showed her knowledge of Western Indian culture and just kept me hanging on as I read the book. There were so many obstacles separating the Indian and his "His woman" that it kept me wondering how this story could possible work out. She found the way to pull it altogether. I read this book twice. +This is a sort of rewrite of the fairytale of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, but in this case, it is only five sisters. As you read, I'm sure you will pick up another fairytale vibe - I won't tell you, it would spoil the surprise and suspense. Read it! +lenadeleon2004.ld@gmail.com +2791 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Summanary: Alice was kidnapped from a school field trip, at age 10.

If you have a 30-year mortgage, make the equivalent of 1-2 extra payments a year to shorten the payment period. + +3189 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I don't know why it took me so long to buy this book. Perhaps I was intimidated by the title, but I am so glad I finally did. A most enjoyable read. I recognized many of the characters from my own experience as a white child growing up in the segregated south. + +The ship that he and his brother commands is badly damaged and he has to call for help to the nearest planet. His call for help is responded to by Lorelei and the conversation between them is hilarious. By accident a videolink is established and Sevan recognizes the woman as his dream lover and mate. + + +Addendum (July 18, 2014): +5984 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I'm a big Mercy Thompson fan but I was a little skeptical about the Alpha and Omega serious. It seemed too close in plot and I'm not a big fan of spin offs. That being said, I read all 3 books in a week and loved them. I didn't even realize that this short was first published in another anthology and is basically the first chapter of the series. When I read it the serious finally felt complete. But I definitely want more books in this series! +848 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Love the series. +Deidre and Jonas is as strong as ever and the anticipation of what +7498 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This series of books is so much fun! I love the characters, and the author's imagination in coming up with this storyline is phenomenal! Highly recommend! + +Sawyer the Dr, Morgan the Sheriff, Gabe the Handy Man and Jordan the Veterinarian. All their stories are amazing, steamy and fast reads!

Charles is surprised to find that there is something seriously wrong with the pack and Anna is a rare and treasured wolf, an Omega. +Civilisation as we know it is crumbling around them and they have some fascinating encounters on their travels.

It's very helpful since I'm following the WW program. Very good book. + +3521 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely love the difference in the characters that makes you love the heros and heroines and loathe the enemies. The description in these books are written so well that I can actually see the scene before me and can imagine vividly what the characters would look like. +There is no gore or details, but it is clear what has happened, and what continues to happen. This story isn't for young readers, or the faint of heart. But it is a very gripping story that will leave you feeling horrified. + +I just love the way Walt genuinely liked and respected women, all ages, all sizes, all personalities. Walt refers to his lawyer daughter as "The Greatest Legal Mind Alive" and treated the young rape victim with kindness and consideration. Rather than being intimidated by smart, sassy and assertive women, Walt encouraged and admired the women in his life. +2644 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have read all books in the Edge series and loved each and every one , the sex scenes are all very steamy , the books all entwined very well, the storylines were terrific. They were paced,well and I found it difficult to put the each and every book in the series. Thanks Kalleysten great writing +This is the first (and only) book I've ever read specifically about Simon Peter, but it was exactly what I was looking for. I told a couple of people that Peter is my favorite person in the Bible, and the responses I got were, "Why? Because he's a hothead?" and "Why? He's a bumbling idiot." Prevailing opinion about Peter seems to be less than favorable, which is kind of ironic. I think he most accurately represents anyone who is... you know... human. + +Reading the books that are available in this series so far (My Soul to Take (Soul Screamers Book 1),My Soul to Save (Soul Screamers Book 2)), the quality increases with each book, the storylines becoming more complex and the main characters develop significantly. My Soul To Lose, being both the introduction and the shortest, focuses mostly on a single event and a small group of characters. While it would be a moderately good urban fantasy on its own, if readers only knew it would be part of a planned series, this novella ended with enough teasers that as a fan of this genre, I'd want to pick up the next book. + +My advice: purchase this book in the printed format. +Wildwood Dancing is largely a story about characters rather than events. Marillier takes her time getting to the crux of the story, using the beginning of the book to establish the setting and the characters, only to ultimately create a powerhouse, page turning, ending with unlikely twists and unexpected consequences for all of the sisters. +Reaching the Whispering Mountain Ranch Jessie felt like she was home, but her peace at the ranch may not last when Teagen finds out the truth about his friendship with Eli Barton and the secrets Jessie was keeping. +1549 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Ritual Bath was both an insight into Judaic culture and a wonderful criminal suspense novel. It was not only a refreshing look into the start of the new mystery super couple, who can overcome anything so long as they have each other, (a rare find these days), and a suspenseful mystery. Bravo Faye Kellerman. I look forward to many more Rina Lazerus/Peter Decker novels! mystery. + + +A lot of the books are self-published and many of them are, to put it bluntly, crap, but they are free so you're not risking any financial loss if you don't like them. Just delete unwanted books from your device and check again the next day. There are some real gems to be found and it's a rare day in which I don't find at least one book I want to read. Of course I first browsed through the free books listed by Amazon and downloaded the ones I wanted, but after you've been through their list of 1000 or so books, they all look the same. I don't have that problem with this blog. In the several months I've subscribed to this blog, I've downloaded over 1,000 free books that caught my attention and paid what? $7 or $8 for the convenience? Well worth it considering the regular price would've been well over $2,000 or $3,000 for $2 or $3 books. +Frugal Matters +Halt, devastated by the capture of his apprentice, must decide what matters most to him, and is joined by Horace on a quest to rescue his friends. + + +The audiobook of Living Dead Girl is read by Kate Reinders. I thought her narration was perfect at capturing the tone and emotions of the story. + +3681 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The third volume of this immensely popular fantasy series for the younger (and, umm, slightly older) reader is as much fun, as much action, as much excitement and drama as the preceding two volumes combined. Given the epic, brilliant, overwhelming cliff hanger type nature of the ending to book two, however, ICEBOUND LAND opens up in a way that, it must be said, is relatively timid. Sure, Halt and Co are all worried sick about the plight and welfare of Will and young Evanlyn as they are hijacked by some of the storys baddies, and led (presumably) into a life of depraved, mind bending and back breaking slavery, but the two young characters in question are not showing all that much physical or emotional hardship over the matter. At least, not yet, anyway. +1056 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Everything Doyle wrote was amazing. +PLOT: Very basic. This is a subgenre that traditionally doesn't have complicated plotlines and this one doesn't stray far from the norm. Still, it does what it is supposed to. This is a NOVELLA, so be prepared for things to move a little faster than is reasonable. There isn't much adjustment time for Max to court Emma, Emma to accept the idea of shifters and becoming one and the plot to resolve itself. It would have been better if there was more to it. One complaint, the "claiming" was completely unreasonable in its suddenness and lack of explanation- and then the response was disproportionately low. +We meet Vic in book one at his, psycop, partner's retirement party. This is where we also meet Jacob, the non-psychic member of another psycop team. Jacob is seemingly (at least in Vic's eyes) everything Vic isn't. Handsome, personable, super-nice and he has a real thing for psychic abilities. like a real thing. As well as their adventures as psycops and ghost hunting (!!) this series is very much about the relationship between Jacob and Vic. +5561 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have bought many copies of this book over the years. Simple, honest truth about the gender differences in how the world is perceived. + + +Theresa Weir is exceptionally creative and thoughtful to write this short story. It's a lot packed into 2500 words, and with such a satisfying ending, too. It deserves no less than 5 stars. + +9766 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It had a very interesting set of characters that brought them all together in to one more era of life and love. +**** +The NY Times blog even has photos for almost every article that are good quality, and is easy to navigate and read. Highly recommended. +4572 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've read almost all of the Accidental series, and Nina is my favorite by far! She has a tough outer casing, but inside there's a heart of gold. If you are easily offended by potty language, you'll want to skip this one. If you love finding new profanity-laced insults, this one's for you!!! + +The backgrounds and situations painted by Banville here are simply marvelous. The first part of the book contains many symbolic scenes that emphasize the alienation and separation between people and how difficult it can be to overcome these vast differences. The author settles down a bit in the second and third parts of the story while managing to keep the story moving at a fevered pace. I have never been to Europe, but I feel like I have after reading this book. Yes, Banville's descriptive powers are that good. +665 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoy Lynsay Sands books. This one did not disappoint! A great paranormal read for when you are in the mood for one! +Although at times sad (enough to make me cry), this book reinforced the idea of family and love and how important it is to communicate that to those around you. +He sometimes includes info if he's read the book or wrote a review for it. I find it amazing that he's able to come up with such a range of books and have so many of them appeal to me. (But not all,thank goodness...what would I do with 5+ new books every day?!) + + + +Also, as one could expect from a medieval fantasy, this book is a bit on the violent side, considering that its about a war. Its never particularly gory but it does describe people fighting and dying. Its good that the author never shies away from the realities of warfare but since this is a book aimed at younger readers, this fact could raise some concerned eyebrows. + +BOTTOM LINE: This is perfect if you are in the mood for a little shifter fun. Not too heavy, no real violence, a little lust, a little humor. +2955 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I tend to shy away from books in which the characters jump right into bed after first meeting. This book is not like that. The main characters have a nice back story and a long history. This was a quick read and I liked that it dealt with issues facing women in this day and age. + +7836 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Was a good love story, although didn't feel real or that it could be real. Wouldn't really recommend it to others but I did enjoy it. +Vance arrives with the District Attorney and the police at a house where a man has been murdered. There's a lot of evidence against one suspect, but Vance says there's too much evidence: it looks like a frame-up. So the DA doesn't arrest the prime suspect. We are now two hours into the case (the author gives dates and times at the head of each chapter). Everybody panics! Two hours into the case and no one is arrested yet. +help Nina with her new life issues. If she will let him.

Strangely for me, before I became a Reiki master I would have dismissed this book and the authors experiences as delusional and mystical; however, I have become more open minded to some of the spiritual experiences of people. + +9343 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Through Her eyes by Beth Kery + +This is an inspiring story that will have you falling in love with the characters. I highly recommend it + + +7154 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love this story because it shows that women can be soft and cuddly for their men and hard as steel with anyone who crosses them. Belle loves Rick there is no way that she is going to put up with Gina for too long. I love how you got a peek at Ben and Dave. This is a great story with a strong female and a even stronger male with has a soft and gentle side too. + +Now, since actual labor is required for there to be potential value, and there is no actual labor to speak of, then the potential imputation of labor value into machines/commodities is zero, and therefore Marx's Law of Value is in error. +Large pullout quotes scattered throughout the book offer bite-sized financial advice and factoids in Ramsey's typically direct manner: +4802 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The sinking of the Titanic is well known. This book offers information about what happened to the people after the sinking. It also gives a good account of the crew and passengers of the Carpathia. +4140 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 If you are a devoted fan of "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM) or Eastern religion, then you will love this book. It has easy to understand stories, analogies and references. I loved it! +9944 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It was hard to put this book down given the compelling characters, the punchy dialogue, and the interesting plot. The characters are refreshing because they feel real. I like stories that flow well and keep things moving, and this novel had just that. The author has a sense of humor that shines through in her writing, and yet she can shift pace and write tense, action-packed scenes when called for as well. Highly recommended. I will be checking out more books from this talented author. +She dumped his sorry ass .. good for her. +Originally Posted at Welcome to Larissa's Bookish Life {larissaslife DOT com} +I read . If you keep up the good "words" I'll keep reading . +essentially the same story. +Kadan might not be physically abusive, but he comes close to it a couple of times. And he does things that most people would NOT consider appropriate in a relationship, such as requiring Tansy to allow him to touch her provocatively in front of other people even when it embarrasses her. And it's somehow supposed to be okay because she can read his mind and knows that he's actually insecure and needy under it all. +6842 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This fictional book depicts the time on the plains after the Sioux and Cheyenne had been confined to reservations in the North Mid-West. Settlers had moved into the area near the reservations and the occasional up rising stemming from the life that the tribes were forced to live brought the settlers and Native Americans into physical conflict. + +Montgomery wrote in the standard magazine format of the day, which required a hero or heroine and a happy ending, but she was inclined to stretch the formula in all kinds of directions to maximize the humor, romance, or drama of the story. Fans of her writing should enjoy the samples in this collection. Some are as seemingly simple as "Kismet", in which an estranged couple agrees to let their future together ride on the outcome of a horse race. Some are as heartwarming as "Aunt Cyrilla's Christmas Basket", in which an elderly woman's careful packing for a trip saves the day for a group of trapped travelers. Some are as terrifying as "The Running Away of Chester", as a young boy flees an abusive situation, not knowing what fate might hold for him. And there is no end of Montgomery's specialty, romances for star-crossed or even unlikely lovers. +7797 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Hall of the Wood is an adventure fantasy book following the life of Jed. Jed is an ex-ranger who left the order when he settled down with his wife. Tragedy strikes when his wife and child perish at childbirth and he blames himself for the event. He decides to return to his roots at Ranger Hall to speak to some old friends and get his life back on track. He sets off with his late wife's dog Ash and the journey begins. +7576 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Being one of the not so great looking gals I really related to this story. This is how dreams should end...happily ever after. Ms. Ranney brings alive the daydreams and night wishs of an everyday person and makes you want to believe there is hope for us all to have that romance. +I highly recommend Secrets of Six-Figure Women. I've personally seen it become a life changing eye opener for women who are tired of surviving and are ready to begin thriving in their financial life. +892 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love Fern's Sisterhood series. It made me want to cheer out loud every time the women got their revenge and received justice for past injustices/crimes against them. They are strong, brave, and compassionate women. And they keep on helping the helpless. I wish we had vigilanties like them in real life. +Emotions ran hot and then cold, emotional turmoil. Both characters were flawed and made mistakes, but at the end of the story, it was nice to see them work through their issues and misunderstandings to achieve their happily ever after. +4211 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love the Harlequin presents series. They are the perfect candy-bar read. The bundle is great and much less expensive that purchasing them separately. I also love reading them on my amazon kindle...over 1000 pages of romance, without the embarrassing cover art. + +Max Cannon has returned to the town in which he grew up in order to take over as the alpha of his Pride. Noticing that the girl he once knew as shy and inconspicuous Emma Carter has grown into a beautiful woman, Max is elated to find out that his high school feelings for Emma linger and if he is not mistaken, those same feelings are so much more. In fact, he is feeling definitely territorial where Emma is concerned and couldn't be happier. + + +Shane Rosario denies the wolf inside of him. Brought up by his mother to hate what he is, Shane never loses control and never changes. When Megan Warden picks him up at the airport and Shane senses his inner wolf rumbling, he is shocked but goes with the flow. One mating later, the two are at odds at their sudden relationship. +5523 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have to say I love this Dragon Knights series. They are wonderfully fleshed out even though they are not full length. Jared and Adora and Darian are so powerful together. Their relationship is sweet and hot and spicy and a lot of fun to read. I love the way each book flows into the next while still finishing the story. No cliffhangers although they do give clues to where the next book will go. But each story is complete in itself. I am looking forward to the next one. +5915 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 While its not necessary to read at all, it is worth it because you see the origins that are only hinted at with Cry Wolf and Moon Called (the Mercy series). Solid story. Trigger warnings include instalove and abuse. But the story itself is about so much more than that. An easy introduction to the world of werewolves because you have an ignorant FMC that things get explained to. +I was impressed with Annmarie McKenna's very first novel, Blackmailed, and my admiration for her work grows with each new release. In Two Sighted, she effortlessly sets the stage for a sequel starring several of the supporting leaving her fans aching for it without leaving this book feeling unfinished in any way. I know I will be hungrily snapping up any new releases both in this series and from this author! + +1548 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoy the books by Faye Kellerman. I've purchased several and not been disappointed The stories are interesting, the characters are solid. +408 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I once heard a Communist say in a speech that blaming Karl Marx for the atrocities done by 20th century Communists is like blaming Jesus for the Crusades and Inquisition. I think that's a valid point, to an extent. I can see how this book set imaginations going and gave hope to the downtrodden, much in a way that the arrival of Methodism in the 18th century gave cause for optimism among the working classes of England. I think given human nature, something like a Communist experiment was unavoidable. Communism had high ideals but human greed and sadism condemned it to failure, and now it should be abandoned and laid aside as a relic of the past. Communism studied as yet another misapplied utopian blueprint is a fine subject to read about, but the real tragedy is that a billion and a quarter human beings are still shackled in the year 2005 to the chains of this hopeless, fatally handicapped nineteenth-century hypothesis. +HIGH LEVEL: Book 3 of the series that starts with Regina in the Sun (Children of the Goddess). READ THEM IN ORDER as each story builds off of the last. Be prepared: This is a very lusty, sexually explicit para-romance series that features everything from BSDM to threesomes to homoerotic. It is all very well done and will leave you aching. In addition, it's got great story lines and a vivid paranormal world with tons of history. All in all it's pretty intense. + +5901 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Empowering.... That is the word i think, for me, describes Fated by Lauren Dane! We get to feel and go through everything with Megan and Shane. The roller coaster of emotions and the fight for them to make it. Megan is a strong and fierce character and something all of us women should dominate in our own personal lives. It was captivating to see the main male character, Shane, to be the person to have the fears and anxiety of everything that was going on and surrounding him. But for this book, that was a refreshing change. I loved finding out about Shane's family history, which helped explain the reasons and fears he had. Me personally, i will be grateful for all the little snippets that Lauren Dane gave us for the other members of The Warden Clan in Fated. It has been a pleasure finding out what they are doing, where they are in their lives and how much they have changed an adapted. Once again, Fated is a 5 star book that i will recommend to anybody and everybody. +Secondly; The only people who do not make mistakes in this lifetime are the ones who willing to do nothing more than repeat their past victories over and over again. Those who dare to probe into unknown territories, peek into truisms to see if they are valid and risk being labeled as being eccentric in their theories and concepts are the only ones who will actually make mistakes. But they, too, are the only ones that will make incredible breakthroughs that move our world in a forward, evolutionary fashion by their courageous insights and daring. The reviewers who have degraded this author for her taking questionable experiments and off-the-wall scientists are the ones who are stuck in yesterdays science and are only willing to accept thoughts that have proven themselves over the decades. While science, during the Enlightenment Era, had been able to move the world slowly away from religious dogma, they now are creating the same ignorant and immovable atmosphere that they originally found themselves into. They, in fact, have their own set of dogmas, their own set of beliefs that cannot be questioned and have created an atmosphere that there is no reality that exists outside of the small sphere that they have defined. We live in a world that is not at all the manner that we see it to be nor in a world where we are fully knowledgeable. We live in an atmosphere where we are trying to measure eleven dimensional space with primitive three dimensional objects. We live in a world wherewe ponder, but never truly grasp, the simple definition of the words consciousness nor that which is eternal. No, dogmatic scientists do not meet weekly for Sunday service. Instead they simply control the reputation of their colleagues, the purse strings for experimentation and the publication power for future writings that prevents new and unique concepts of reality from receiving the attention they deserve. Please, let us stop locking Galileo in prison because he does not agree with our 1850 Newtonian concept of physics or that Einstein is the final answer for all space-time concepts We are ages away from complete scientific understanding. Why must we pretend that we are fully arrived?.... + +Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed +2555 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I had this when I was a little girl, and I wanted my granddaughter to have one too - and she has enjoyed it. +The writing style of this author is terrific. The sentences are well structured with no choppiness. The dialogue is interesting and realistic. He speaks well in the voices of many types of characters from female to male to child. +Cute short story, but best of all, it was free. +I think my pockets are getting full of the guys I want to keep from the last several Arend books I've read now that I've added Ryan to them. He was a bundle of everything interesting - contrasted with Max's innocence, his experience everywhere was exciting, from picking places to eat, to the bedroom. His grief over his brother's accident and even his frustration about whether there'd be any sort of place for him in a life with Max really emphasized how much more mature he was than her (not sure if that was the idea, but it took me there). He tended to go a little overly-alpha on Max about the vandalism thing, but then she was a little too ditzy about it, so I balanced out the points there. + +-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal +4731 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Home for Christmas is a delightful holiday read. Cruising for the Christmas Holiday season is a great idea especially when it's with the hot and handsome man of your dreams! The story is kind of short with a steamy romance. It ended abruptly, which disappointed me. Hopefully, a New Year's sequel is in the works! +7633 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and seemed very realistic in how the characters would have behaved. Not every escapade or turn in the plot was neatly solved as I'm sure would be in real life. I really "liked that. Also the main characters are not so perfect and law abiding as most authors would have them be. Short but can't put it down. I will read more of Mr. Blacks books. + + +. +The book is very straight-forward and attacks things that for years have just been very very annoying to me. It answered almost every "Why do girls do this..." question that I had quite thoroughly and a even couple that I'd never thought of before. +In fact, if the exploits were not based upon real events, I would call it a fanciful and entertaining ride through the eyes of a conman out to discover the world. +Fred Auerbach +IN A RECKLESS MOMENT is the third book in Emma Wildes' BROTHERS OF THE ABSINTHE CLUB. This storyline is full of all the loveable characters, passion and suspense that I've come to eagerly anticipate about this series. I adored Cassandra because she is so different from society ladies. She's extremely intelligent and honest, not to mention beautiful. With the combination of those traits she manages to snare Ross's affection and keep him firmly enthralled with her. Ross has been living the `privileged' lifestyle for so long he doesn't even see how self-indulgent and jaded it is until after he marries Cassandra. There's just a little issue from his past poses a threat and I have to admit, I was fascinated by that twist to the storyline. +597 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A Quick Bite by Lynsay Sands introduces me to the Argeneau Vampire series. This first book, gives me everything I want in a romance novel plus some. Interesting characters both immortal and mortal alike. The main protagonists have challenges ahead of them that were fun to follow. I am hooked. Smart yet caring vampire meets sexy human psychologist. The twists and turns kept me turning the pages. I am in love. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series as well as the rest. Overall, I recommend this paranormal romance to all readers. +As she traveled to war-torn countries reporting on the effects of the war on the citizens, and experienced first-hand how people who are worlds apart, and don't speak the same language, can be brought together by the simple act of sharing food, she began to see food as the universal bond that ties us all together. + +5794 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have been searching for an erotic recency novel. A very quick read with great scenes. The backstory is interesting enough and will easily draw you into a series of similar titles for each "Archangel". + + +This is not a book for children, definitely for 18+. It has way too much gruesome pictures than any teenager can take, unless you're used to horror bloody movies like me. + + +So why only four starts?

Nor has there been any more major (bad) characters for the reader to dislike intensely. Margaroth was brilliantly drawn and represented in the first two books, and in some respects it is a shame that he was killed off so early. He was evil, but at least he was fun to read about, and fun to hate. + + + + +Using the game of gay chicken as a guise for exploring their sexuality, Duke and Mav steamed up the pages on their way to falling in love.

Science fiction that is not overly technical. + +7434 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is the first time I have read a historical with this sort of storyline. I have to admit at first I was a little skeptical and I couldn't figure out why. I realized that it was because I simply didn't like the situation they were in. I felt really terrible for all of them because it was just a bad situation :( Even though I had these feelings I continued reading and wow...it sure did turn into an amazing story! I was actually crying by the end. I do however feel like there are unanswered questions and that the story is not quite concluded. Ms Haymore does have two more books coming so maybe those questions will be answered with those. The writing was amazing and characters were interesting. I truly felt connected to them and I sympathized for them. Above all else, I enjoyed the story. It had enough suspense, emotion, and heat to keep you interested the whole way though. Wonderful story that I would recommend to everyone!!! +I tried to keep at it, but I gave up halfway, which is rare for me to do. I actually skipped the stories of two of the women - you know they are coming, and you don't care about any of them so why should you be forced to read what sad things they went through?

It's somehow all those things. Living Dead Girl is the story of "Alice". A 15 year old girl who was abducted when she was 9 by Ray. She is forced to withstand sexual and physical abuse on a daily basis for 5 years. + +I truly enjoyed this book. Halt's raw humor and Horace's jokes kept me laughing, while Will being drugged by Warm-Weed kept me feeling dread for the beloved character. If you enjoyed the first two books of John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice series, The Ruins of Gorland and The Burning Bridge, your guaranteed to like reading The Icebound Land. I'm already looking forward to reading The Battle for Skandia. Can't wait! Keep sending these Australian Treasures over John! +2704 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The book generally followed the plot line of P and P, but the author's plot took an alternate path that seemed plausible. What I like in a P and P variation is that the characters remain fairly faithful to Jane's origianl story. I think Kara accomplished that and I would recommend the book to anyone who likes a good 19th century romance. +6605 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Or the Stephen King novella "The Body" that the movie was based on? Then you will love this. There is ambiguity about what the threat is and how permanent it will be....and I like that. Think the worst, hope for the best. Whatever works for you.

Although intended for the young adult, even a thirty-something such as much myself had difficulty coping with the story. Only the most mature of readers should be subjected to this reading material that so vividly describes the abuse that, sadly enough, real girls endure everyday. + Levin does well in explaining and demonstrating how the Supreme Court - and all levels of our courts - have strayed from the intent of the Founders and established themselves as an unelected government superior in their own minds to the legislative and executive branches of government. +Tanya +4771 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Should have been filed in erotic Not romance.

I loved reading this book from start to finish. In fact, I had to stop myself from reading in all one sitting because I didn't want to finish. It made me laugh, I choked up at the end and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. It was everything I love in a chick-lit book - fun, easy to read, fast moving, etc and at the end of the day, that means I simply loved the book. + +6761 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The synopsis for this book is just enough to pique your interest. The storyline is easy to follow, the characters are like old friends. But enough is left unsaid to allow you to speculate and build more of the story on your own outside of the book. +1279 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I came across this book just recently, and given that it was a Pulitzer Prize winner, I decided to give it a try. There is no doubt that this is an original book. Diaz's prose and structure is unique and is entertaining to read. Throughout the book he throws in Spanish phrases as well as those influenced by the world of geekdom. The book also sheds light on a history of the Dominican Republic that few people know. I knew that I enjoyed this book because I looked forward to picking it up again after I had set it down. But after having just finished the ending, I am a bit disappointed. The brief and wild life of Oscar de Leon was certainly brief - a bit too brief for my liking. It's Diaz's storytelling and writing ability that gives this book five stars. +9135 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this story. I was unsure at first but I always give any book a chance. I am an avid reader. I am glad I stuck with this one. It was good example of the way something might happen in real life. It wasn't an obvious fantasy. I truly enjoy books that the story lines are plausible in the real world. Don't get me wrong I love the fantasy story lines as well but for me it is easier to connect with the characters if they seem more real. Would recommend this book to anyone! +1593 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 There were so many clan names that I got lost for awhile. The story dragged in places.

Yeah it's not an IR book, but it's still pretty damn good. +For me, one of the strengths in this book is dealing with the parables of the sower and the wheat and tares. He clearly points out that just because a person claims to be a Christian does not mean he or she is. +I would definitely recommend people to start this series. +In the "The Poverty of Philosophy" (1847) Marx says, "In acquiring new productive forces men change their mode of production; and in changing their mode of production, in changing the way of earning their living, they change all their social relations.

As the reader, I quickly fell in love with Anna and her struggles. The characters were rich and diverse. Harley is a man who has pulled himself up and works hard to support his family. Jack has a successful dairy farm, but is focused on the love that's been denied him. Dirk is a man who will teach Harley what sacrifice is about. And Anna is a woman trying to make the best of an impossible situation. +What I didn't like: + +reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed +Set in roiling north Dublin, where humor and family togetherness are the keys to surviving the tumult of the neighborhood, this novel, nominated for the Booker Prize in 1991, depicts real, working-class Dubliners leading real, hard-scrabble lives, often centered around the pub and sports. Dialogue and dialect make these characters come alive, and the relationship between Jimmy and Bimbo is depicted honestly. The third novel in Roddy Doyle's Barrytown Trilogy, this is by far the most fully developed, with well drawn, well-developed characters, a vibrant setting, dialogue which ranges from hilarious to furious and sometimes even tender, and a plot with which everyone can identify. +8626 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It was a great read, but I am disappointed that I can't find book 2.

The book often sounds like a rambling college lecture in which the author covers pretty much everything between Heaven and Earth, constantly jumping back and forth between the subjects. Still, the book is ultimately rewarding. At least if you're an advanced student of anthropology, comparative religion or psychology! +I have to say that there is a hint about romance. I truly mean a hint, one flutter in her heart, but I have hope for more in coming books. +Belle also has a problem with her pride the Halle pumas, because she was best friends with a puma who was outcast (see Sweet Dreams) the rest of the pride think she had something to do with an attack on the Beta's mate.

This particular novel pushes two of my buttons, an interest in southeast Asia since reading Somerset Maughan stories decades ago and a longing to know more about the world into which I was born (1940) and which killed my father in the Pacific Theater of war. The basic theme of this novel also hits another of my reading interests, the intersection or clash of cultures. +reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed +1.)

Did you know that he never chopped down his father's cherry tree and in fact he didn't even like cherrys? Most were free and its a price that is impossible to best. +Anyway, Tansy doesn't want to help. The way her talent works is that she touches an object and can see into the souls of those who handled it before her. But handling that energy takes a serious toll, especially if the soul she encounters is evil or violent. The voices of the victims linger in her mind; at one point she even had a breakdown --and that's why she quit helping the authorities. And why she doesn't want to help Kadan. She is in no hurry to get away from him, though. He is an anchor, which helps calm the constant barrage of energy that is always flittering around her. She can even touch him without discomfort. And touch him she does. +4102 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Looking at the cover of this book, I wasn't really sure what I was going to find inside. I was both thrilled with the contents and impressed by this author's ability to transport his reader to another world and make you forget yourself while reading his work. This story is amazing. Steve Peek has a unique talent for building believable characters that you can't help but identify with. This story is very complex and has a lot of elements that I had not seen before, and was not at all what I had expected. +Maybe it is our Democratic form of government slowly but surely eroding our Republic foundation. +Now Tribe A decides, due to its higher productivity/wealth, it can afford to save more time, adding this saved time to the saved time it used for making fishing nets, and build a boat that will allow their nets to catch even more fish. Being busy building boats, Tribe A allows Tribe B to build the nets--a less productive venture than the new boat-building venture is. Tribe A's greater productivity thanks to fishing boats (and greater wealth thanks to fishing boats) allows for more children, increasing the tribe's population, allowing for a larger labor supply in the near future that will be available for procuring other innovative, labor-saving inventions. + + + +The narrator is Yunior, a former roommate of Oscar's at Rutgers, who did everything he could to help get Oscar laid. Yunior is a weightlifter who tried to help Oscar lose weight by making him run every morning. When Oscar gives up, Yunior pretty much gives up on him, although he does check in on him periodically. Yunior is also in love with Oscar's sister Lola, although he can't stay faithful to her. +Unlike some of the author's other works, this is a full length novel. (Which I much prefer over novellas since there is more time for plot and character developement.) +Maggie Shayne's 'Immortality' gives us a more sympathetic view of Puabi, the Immortal High Dark Witch who spent centuries taking the hearts of good witches and torturing her husband for loving another woman. She is found barely alive in the ocean after her final confrontation with her husband and his lover and she at last finds the missing piece of her soul romantically and literally. + +REVIEWER'S OPINION: + +What is authentic faith in Christ? + + +If you have never tried one of her stories, this one would be a good starting place. +Nothing was found except a number of gold coins... +I would have given the book five stars if the ending had been different. I don't want this review to be a spoiler so I cannot elaborate, but I think a different ending could have been simultaneously more satisfying to the reader and more challenging to the author. Regardless, Living Dead Girl is an unforgettable read. +4570 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great as the first! If you liked the first and second books, keep reading! You won't be disappointed. +UPDATE 11/29/2011: I emailed Justin Lee Mitchell re. the typos and he responded very quickly.

Its popularity proves that intelligently written books can find an audience, which is the true value of the indie book movement. +This is not a book for children, definitely for 18+.

Yet, rather frustratingly, Boyer admits that the `central question: Why do some people believe and not others? . . . is very likely to remain unsolved'. Overall it seems that the varieties of religious experience rest on the varieties of mental experience and the social utility of following such beliefs within a religion. + +Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys tales of plucky heroines reluctantly involved in high adventure. + +The trouble begins on page 5 when we are shown the first of a set of graphs.

This whole series is a hit. +There is a deep and wide pool of selfish, helpless, imbecile heroines out there in fiction, but the main characters (Jena) sister, Tati, takes the serious biscuit. She is completely braindead & makes me want to slap her all the way to Transylvania and back just to make her see the slightest tickle of sense. And yet, she was beyond hope, really. And all because of LUV as we are told. +273 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Quick delivery which was great since I needed for class! Thanks!!!

Got confusing And didn't make sense. +the author has spent some time living in Thailand too, and this definitely very clearly shows in the setting. much better and more enjoyable than watching it on a screen (which is a more passive kind of activity; this one engages one's visual eye and imagination more). +All of Maggies's books in my collection are awesome loved every one of them. +8709 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 good to read,nice story have read this story line from other authors this was a very relaxing romantic book with enough intrigue to keep you interested +This is the only flaw in an otherwise very enjoyable story, and the only thing that stops me giving it top marks. As Darla reappears in the follow up book, on re-reading "The Cadaver Client", I was inclined to feel more kindly towards it. But on first reading, I felt horribly cheated, and it's that initial reaction which makes this one drop a few points for me. If you love the Markhat stories, you'll enjoy this one, but if you don't read it, you won't lose any continuity with the latest novel. The Cadaver Client sits in its own leg of the Trousers of Time (as Terry Pratchett would call it) and while not essential to the Markhat canon, is well worth the effort. An amuse bouche, perhaps, rather than a proper main course. +I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated how he conveys how much God cares about man. +But I think the thing that aggravated me the most was that I knew who the bad guy was, before there was even a bad guy. I hate when authors lead me around by the nose, like I won't be able to figure it out for myself...or even worse, like I don't like surprises. It also felt like the said bad guy was there as an after thought, just to move the story from point A to point B, with no true substance. Because sometimes he was there, and then he would be forgotten for large portions of the book. Snooze. I don't know, maybe there was some deeper meaning there and I just blindly missed it. +It's so much cruelty in the world that reading romance stories is my escape to what love between consenting adults should be. + +1393 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book is one I could not put down.

However, it wasn't different enough to be really special and I think there are several other books in this genre that are better (Stardancer, Vexing Voss, Virile, Ninth Orb). The author definitely has potential though +These people were all to stupid live. I'm so tired of hearing, it isn't his fault that he gambles, it's in the blood. I lose all this money, it's not my fault, it's in my blood. Stop the stupid. +5702 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 While the premise of the mysteries Mr. Freeman writes is different from Sir Doyle, both have captured the art of placing all the necessary clues in the hands of the reader, so when the villain is uncovered, the "aha" is there. Dr. Thorndyke is the world's first forensic pathologist rather than a true detective but applies his analytical processes to all problems. +Now I'm sure not everyone agrees with me that this is the Kindle Edition of the L.A.

My first reaction was a bit sceptical - only 83 pages? How can a book draw you in with only 83 pages? Surprisingly, it did. Who hasn't had a crush, been embarrassed, or done something they normally wouldn't when imbibing with their best gal pals? Now I'm a Marie Harte fan! +'Dead Man's Rain' is a horror story and a narrative about venal instincts, greed and guilt. The set up is a little Maltese Falconish, and Markhat's weary cynicism is pure Spade as he deals with the snobby Widow Merlat and a incredible tales of ghosts and hauntings. But then, just as Tuttle sets you up thinking the plot will be resolved one way, he takes you down another. We learn more about Merlat's family, and her, and her servants, and Markhat reveals the qualities that kept him alive through a bitter and destructive war, in order to save the good and punish the wicked. This is not a romance - there's no pairing in this at all - and that's how it should be for our tarnished hero. + +5403 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really shouldn't have enjoyed this as much as I did. I felt just a tad guilty. Anyway, I did enjoy it. I felt like it took them some time to understand each other and even then there were hurtles. I think they both allowed pasts to cloud what was happening to them which could have really been handled if they just talked to each other. Hunter was a jerk to start but I think we all get to place where once we begin to be hurt by the world we feel like it's better to hurt them before they hurt us. Lila was too damn sweet at first. I wanted her to have a life of her own. I was glad her father talked some sense into her. I enjoyed the story and would read it again. +5070 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Only regrets I have far that I did not have access to all of these books as a child, and that the original illustrations weren't included. I feel sorry for those who only saw the movie and never read the original Oz books! This collection alone makes the cost of of my kindle worth the expense. +8474 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 good positive and upbeat, nice to have on hand +The Ghost Exterminator is part of the Vivi Andrews' Karmic Consultants series, a set of stories about the paranormal agency that employs Jo. Although this tale easily stands alone, it gave me an immediate urge to seek out the rest of the series. +I think it's the best because there is more plot than Without Reservations: With or Without, Book 1 and there is more Pack. I really liked learning more about the pack politics and the different roles of wolves in the pack. The concept of the Omega wolf is very original. +When readers today think of County Wars, the Lincoln County War and the Johnson County War are the two that come to mind. Hough refers to the county war in Wyoming as absurd, probably because the version of the story that he knew best was the sanitized account by the Wyoming cattle ranchers association. The independent ranchers side of the story in that dispute did not come out until later. Hough dedicated a chapter to the Lincoln County War and another chapter to the lesser-known Stevens County War. The Stevens County War, a struggle between Woodsdale and Hugoton for the county seat in southwest Kansas, was a land-boomer struggle that is largely forgotten today. +7458 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It's the morning after and Jane Porter is definitely feeling much lighter hearted after a night in the arms - and bed of Antonio Villareal. He's everything she could have hoped for in a Master. It's just too bad their sexual relationship will only last through the weekend, and then it's back to her safe, staid existence. Or so she thinks. +But, the remaining characters of the novel, without a doubt are some of the most colorful and unforgettable that the reader will ever encounter. Grandfather Smallweed, who has to be physically 'shaken up' periodically, is the greediest and most opportunistic of mankind. Mr. Snagsby tolerates more marital abuse than any character previously encountered. The Reverend Mr. Chadband portrays all of the repetitive liturgical nonsense the Dickens has railed about in other novels and Jo, the parentless child of the street, represents man's pathetic but inevitable inhumanity to even is most vulnerable. +2684 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a wonderful "what if" story about Darcy and Elizabeth. It's fast moving, has great dialog, and descriptions that make it easy to picture the scene in your mind. + +1632 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A twist of a post civil war western where Hawke stumbles across an old friend from the war who has established himself as leader of a vigilante group who has established the way they see the law. So buckle up and enjoy your ride. +8456 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Jo Nesb writes, in his introduction to the reprint of 1967's "The Man on the Balcony," that "artists stand on the shoulders of those who have come before." Indeed, the husband and wife writing team of Maj Sjwall and Per Wahl, in their Martin Beck police mysteries, helped set the standard for crime fiction that is often imitated but rarely duplicated. "The Man on the Balcony," skillfully translated from the Swedish by Alan Blair, is based on a real case that occurred in Stockholm in 1963 in which two small girls were abducted, sexually abused, and murdered. This chilling story brings home the obstacles that law enforcement officers face when they attempt to identify and apprehend a suspect who lives beneath the radar and leaves few helpful clues. Even as they sift through mountains of data and telephone tips, the jaded detectives fear that all their efforts may ultimately prove fruitless. + + + +Jake Romero has been waiting for Remi to admit his feelings for him. +1337 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 With an ear for human interest and eye for detail, Lynne McTaggart masterfully tells the true story in THE FIELD of how pioneers in science and consciousness research are working to achieve a more complete understanding of the true nature of reality -- an understanding which includes (rather than ignores) consciousness. +This is not a good forum to discuss all of these laws item by item as a large number of volumes have been published down through the years addressing this code and most have easy access to these works - if of course, there is interest. +advice. Some of the best I've read yet. + +On the surface it appears to be a story of a rake ruining the reputation of an innocent lady, but as you read on you realise that you should never judge a book by its cover. Both of the main characters teach you that there can be a lot more occurring under the surface if you just take the time to look. +Jgtimm +1887 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This third book picked up where it ended on the second book. It entailed the life of Will and Evanlyn as slaves in Skandia, and the journey of Halt and Horace upon rescuing Will and Evanlyn. There were times that my heart was in my heart due to the suspense on Will and Evanlyns escape from slavery. I got a little frustrated when the chapters on Halt and Horace were longer than Will and Evanlyn. I guessed the author was illustrating the prime of Horace in battle while accompanying Halt to rescue his lost apprentice, Will. The book was a page-turner and an easy read. Its suitable for young readers. The plot was stirring and entertaining. I felt like I was transported back in time. +9450 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 If you love science fiction, and particularly robots, then this great little limerick book is a must buy! +-Sue Monk Kidd (The Secret Life Of Bees p 277) +4046 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I added this one because of my complete collection of J.D. Robb in death series. I do not want to miss any of these even though I don't usually buy short stories but, they are all good writers and I have never been disapointed in any of the books. But, to be honest if it wasn't for J.D. I would not have purchased this book. +7899 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I found the characters predicable and boring. the plot was slow moving and boring. everything about this book was a cliche. no humor, no depth- boring!!! +The modern notion of Communism of course stems not from Marx but from Stalin and Lenin. Marx wrote at a time when the only democratic country in Europe was France. England, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire all had limited franchises and Russia was of course an autocracy. One of the major reforms he battled for was the introduction of democracy. It was his belief that the implementation of his program would flow from that. +Great read if you want some pow that is really waffy. + +5504 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 From the moment they meet it's immediate attraction and Jane has a goal to experience everything on her list because today is her birthday and family, friends and co-workers seem to have forgotten.

I think this one is better than the first. I like Connor and Julia together. The stories deals with a group of young revenge killers and Julia's defense of neice who is suspected in the first killing of the book. Good story, good characters and good realistic love story line.

As she grew older she started to have more symptoms of the disease and suffered for many years without medication. + +2722 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It feels wrong to rate this incredibly disturbing book as a five, yet the writing is so phenomenal, I just have to... +Those who want the training and battles may be disappointed by this book, as it seems to be mostly about character development. Through a perilous and largely fruitless journey, Halt and Horace become more real, and through the dangers of slave-life, Evanlyn certainly develops as a character. +2254 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Good book, worth reading, makes you think and gives you ideas to build on. I will be reading the newer version next +4309 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A must for Great grandson. + +9681 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was a bit skeptical at first, but once I started reading this book, I just couldn't put it down. I finished it in less than two days! The emotions that the characters felt was really well described by the author. The way he took the story back and forth to explain why things occurred the way the did was exceptional. I look forward to more of this author's work. +8258 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I just finished reading Feelin' the Vibe and I really enjoyed it. You can't help who your heart loves and I could relate to this book on so many levels. If you haven't read this book, you are missing out on a good thang. Keep up the good work Ms. Dow! +2117 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 This is a book written to appeal to the erotic senses. ( I don't know if that sentence is grammatically correct). It is really not much of a story. Very shallow and superficial but sexually stimulating for those who like that sort of stuff. I don't mind erotic material but I like a little bit of a believable story wrapped around it. + + +8170 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I've read all his series, Skylark, Lensman and Family D'Alembart Series multiple times. this one had some stand alone stories, I presume that preceded the above, that I hadn't read. I always enjoy E. E. Doc Smith. +50 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have a version of "Star by Star" that does not include the novella "Recovery," so I downloaded this book onto my Fire. "Recovery" tells of Leia's recovery after she was nearly killed in "Balance Point." If it was meant to tell the story of the healing of Han and Leia's relationship, it surely failed. There was far too much action to attempt much more than a few brief moments or reconciliation. They have a deeper understanding of each other but not much time to work on it. +7090 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was the second book I have read by this author. I read it in one evening and wanted more. That is the problem with novellas they just aren't long enough. This book is to lead you into the Leopard Series. My friend loaned me book 6 of the Leopard Series but the print was so small I gave it back to her. I do not know if the books can be read out of order or not. I will probably look into getting more books by Christine Feehan but for my Kindle. They are higher priced than what I budget myself for books but I feel for good books I can work some into my budget in the next few months or so. +While what you read about in "The Glycemic Load Diet" is certainly friendly to people who are livin' la vida low-carb, Dr. Thompson believes the science behind insulin resistance has moved beyond what Dr. Robert C. Atkins has previously written about. That's why he believes people should pay attention to the glycemic load. +6499 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 great for those times you have free time but don't have your kindle with you. +9642 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I'm really loving the Granite Lake Wolves series, but I have to be honest here. One of the main reasons that I wanted to read Wolf Games was so I could get that much closer to TJ's book without missing anything. I know, that's really lame and not fair to Erik at all, but to be fair, not much was revealed about Eric other than he was the Beta of the pack. The first two books in the series concentrated on either the main characters involved or family members. Even Maggie was only mentioned in Wolf Flight. Who knew what Vivian Arend had in store for readers in this really sweet and quick read? + +6117 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Ever since I read Karen Rose's latest book "Count to Ten" I have been tracking down at used book stores her previous novels. This one is very exciting. It begin four years ago with a Seattle detective sadly watching a family one of whose members is a serial murderer move away and get away scot-free. The detective is upset as he was blamed for mishandling some DNA evidence which was thrown out by the judge. +Not only that, but he must also convince them that an outsiders knowledge of tactics is their only hope. +6747 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this series more than I would have expected given that I don't typically like historicals. I really liked how the author captured the repressed nature of the time period, and the angst felt by the main characters made this a very enjoyable series to read. Also, always enjoy reading books that don't have grammatical or spelling errors :) +3175 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Highly recommend that anyone take the time to read this book. I just couldn't put it down. She owes me a couple hours of sleep but I would say it was time well spent because I feel that my soul was fed. +Generic names never work in fantasy, yet she uses them without regard. Her horse is called "The Horse," the enemy is called "The Gray One." Come on, can we be any more unoriginal? +3972 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One that has been around for a long time, inspiring and enlightening. +In this volume are 67 of Lovecraft's stories. I would argue that this collection is not necessarily "definitive," but at least it provides a good overview of his work. Here are many stories in his Cthulhu mythos. For the uninitiated, these are stories of ancient gods who are at best indifferent to mankind's existence (and at worst outright hostile). There are also stories that stand alone and are creepy in their own right without the presence of ancient god-like beings. Many of his stories were originally published in the early pulp magazines, but don't let that questionable pedigree scare you away. +1285 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Here it is, the essential Search for Snatch novel for the current generation in the Diversified States of America. I've read it before -- German, French, Japanese, Swedish, English, Yiddish, some of those in translation -- Augie March, Last Picture Show, On the Road, This Side of Paradise, Confederated Dunces -- goofy-sad, wicked-weird, ecstatic, demure, downtrodden, redemptive, obsessive, etc. Honestly, I could just as easily give this novel one star as five, and for the same reasons. The author, Junot Diaz, tries way too hard, flaunts his mojo too blatantly, goes for style over substance. But he's also fairly good at it, hecka funny at times, killer smart. That's literature, in my view; if you like it, you like it. + + +5138 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A really wonderful story. As usual you laugh, cry and so wrapped up in the story.

Excellent writing, perfect paranormal stories of vampires, and really enjoyable works to read. + +295 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 In order to critique something it is necessary to know what one's talking about it.

I can't believe I managed to finish this except it helped put me to sleep at night. Complete boredom!! +But all in all, I really love this author. Love this series. I will continue to read them. I'm a loyal fan. Its worth reading, especially if you have read the entire series. don't miss it! +6655 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 After setting it as my 'primary dictionary' on my Kindle Paperwhite, I was thrilled to find that my Kindle uses both Eastons and the regular dictionary without my having to switch back and forth. +6479 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I had always wanted to read the Apocrypha and was glad to find it on my Kindle. Being a Christian, I have read the Bible through several times, but was always curious about these "missing" books. After reading this it is easy to see why these books were not included in the scriptural canon. However, they do provide some historical information about ancient religion. I especially appreciated the background information given before each book. I personally would recommend that anyone who reads this would read the entire Bible first. It will make more sense to you then. +Writing: 5 stars +3965 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 An absolute top quality read in more ways than one! The first aspect of this book that stood out to me the most would have to be the writing style by far; the author writes in a way that combines concise, insightful advice with a relaxing and almost 'conversational' tone that keeps the read from feeling chore-like in any way whatsoever. Admittedly, I have read many self-help and positive thinking related books over the past few years, but I can definitely say that "The Science of Getting Rich" is one of the highest quality ones that I have had the pleasure of coming across so far and I would even say it comes close to being on par with my all time favorite "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. Highly recommended! + + +Sevan is a lion shifter whose lion DNA is so watered down it doesn't show up on the Commission scans, enabling him to work for them without being discovered and either killed or sent off planet. He knows he can't shift anyway so he'll probably never be noticed. In fact, most of his crew, including a number of his relatives also fall into this category. This is good news for the inhabitants of Sargaidia when they find out because of a prophecy they hope will come true, but bad news for the vampire sorcerer, Stegian, whose ship crash landed there and has spent the last hundred and fifty years trying to control or rid himself of the inhabitants, especially the Janelle family. + + + +Shayna +It holds out hope for anyone going through a rough patch.

Lorelei was worlds apart and she too was dreaming of a mate she knew she could never be and her world and customs would see to it that their mating even if it was meant to be. +This short and fast smooth flowing plot is brought to life with vivid images, intense emotions, and strong compelling characters that grab the readers attention. The author has created a fascinating world of vampires that captures the imagination and ensures that the reader wants to know more. The frequent sex scenes are scorching hot with menage and anal sex and well written and sizzling with passion as well as emotion. +8919 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed the story thoroughly, as I do most of Heyer's books! The other reviews express the books very well, so this will be a short review. I just wanted to add that in my opinion, there is not enough interaction between the hero and heroine! +Sevan has figured he would spend his life loving a dream, no other woman would compare to the one he has dreamed about for the last six months. +8477 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good book for research.

You are sensing and going through the fear and tension that the common soldier has. For me it is the most realistic description of the brutality of war and describes the emotions and action a combat soldier both must utilize and develop to survive. +7080 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a good short story.

My only compliant is it is a short story and I would have liked more story and more of the characters. +And they have never been beaten. + +5832 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 H Beam Piper will stand as one of the greats of sci-fi/fantasy for as long as the printed word exists, whether you are a mystery/thriller, detective novel or space opera/alternative universe fan, Piper delivers. In H B's writing you will find the forerunner of many who followed in his ginormous footsteps, (federated terran space, space vikings, even his place names have been copied by later writers! Aldebaran sound familiar)? Great reading, great fun and a must for anyone who really wants to be lost in another space/time continuum! + +Craig Johnson (at least in the first two books of the series I have now read) is a patient writer whose work demands a certain amount of patience from its readers. While the highly atmospheric Longmire books require that the sheriff deal with the worst kind of criminals imaginable, it all comes together for him and the reader at a very methodical pace, a pace that perfectly fits the remoteness of the sheriff's geographic location and the limited tools he has to work with. In the meantime, the reader intimately gets to know the little town and many of its inhabitants. Then, finally, when all hell breaks loose, the reader feels as if he is right there watching it all unfold firsthand. +Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed +We start with Callie/Mischief in the hands of the police. She's been separated accidentally from her Master and is being questioned by the detectives about who she is, why she is dressed the way she is and who put the vicious red welts on her arse. She is beyond terrified, totally unable to do anything for herself and desperate to be returned to her Master. + + +Both the main characters are into sports, so being gay isn't something they feel they can be out about... even with each other. As best friends and roomies, they spend a lot of time together and their games of "gay chicken" really made me laugh. +Along the way to Sacor City, Karigan encounters strange things, things of legend: monsters from Kanmorhan Vane and the Shadow Man for starters. She is chased by more than just Mirwellian soldiers. Karigan needs to rely on every instinct she has for survival if she wants to make it to the king in time. + +7467 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This entire series is a must have for anyone that is looking for a very interesting read.

The gaming scene is especially well-written and enjoyable. +3591 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is clearly too much. I know I read Justin and Lorren's story and cannot for the life of me explain not providing a review. Oh well now is as good a time as any! I loved the story line that showed how Justin and Lorren came together. My desire to read books by Mrs. Jackson rises with each of her works I am blessed to read and enjoy and enjoy I do. Just the right amount of intrigue, suspense, drama, love and heated romance to keep a reader enthralled. Excellent job, excellent job! + + + +It was amusing and I really liked the book and I recommend it. However, the book title really has nothing to do with the plot.and I had issues the the reality of some of situations the women got in. +The first thing that crossed my mind when I started reading this was "whoa, Dracula meets The Godfather". But let me tell you, I never enjoyed either of those books as much as I did this one. Once the scene opens on the first murder, it's a case not so much of whodunit, as how are they going to stop the one whodunit. Cameron's characters are clearly defined, but there is a fine line between evil and EVIL. The good guys and the bad guys are all, or at least mostly, vampires. What makes them different from each other is the basic premise that our hero Michael states in talking to Tori: a vampire is only a magnified version of the human that he or she was before being turned. If they were bad as humans, they are really bad as vampires. +9801 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Donna Callea has created a terrifying read. Stephen King should be writing a blurb for New Coastal Times This book is more than apocalyptic - this is real and right around the corner. I live in South Florida and have only to look at the Gulf of Mexico to know that the future is breathing down our necks and it's ugly. That being said.... Callea has somehow managed to inject that very special dark humor that invades the human spirit when faced with catastrophe. Early on the heroine's lover discovers Mia is still alive.

It's a waste of my time to read about a cooking utensil for something I will never cook or a designer's clothes I will never be able to afford. There are occasionally some info on books, but I can certainly find that on my own.

I just hope Elizabeth keeps writing these fabulous books. +2063 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Gathering by Anne Enright + +Worrall closes this work on a speculative note as to where we came from as a society, where we are now and where we are going. I suppose I found this particularly beautiful simply because I feel the same as the author and most certainly agree with his speculations...have for quite some time now. +I have the whole series. +6526 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Book was going along fine until just about the halfway mark...then there was alot of bad language -just in one chapter, so WHY? About the same time you find out one character is gay (no detail so that wasn't too bad), one goes daily skinny dipping,and that the possible killer is a pediophile. Sorry...would have gotten 4 stars for plot. There should be warnings about these things. +MacGuire also finds that renewed contact with Trevor results in a resumption of the enigmatic haunting dreams that previously had troubled her. These dreams involve a woman named Cira, a proud slave of the Roman Empire who seems to lie at the heart of a mystery that spans two millenniums and that involves a treasure of immeasurable historical and monetary wealth. +1357 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have lost 22 pounds in 6 weeks by using the recipes in this book and following the guidelines. Awesome! I have recommended to everyone I know who is trying to lose some weight.

Come on Frank, what are you and Samhain waiting for? + +If you haven't read the first two stories in the JANE PORTER series I highly suggest doing so before reading this book. The stories flow from one to the next and compromise everything from that occurs between Jane and her two men as well as Lily and Jean Jacques from the very beginning of the weekend.

Try it you'll like it! + + + +5580 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 W.w. Johnstone is a great writer. I so enjoyed this book because it is written so simply. The story is about people who had to rely on themselves to get the job of life done. Great Job. +2743 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book is technically not on the banned books list, but that is only because it was published last year. I can pretty much guarantee it will be on this years list when it comes out. It might even displace Tango from the top. +3434 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Elyn had the courage to show us what Schizophrenia is, where it takes one, and how little those with the illness can control it until diagnosed and treated properly. Wonderfully written. I ached for her. +2870 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 An excellent story with writing like poetry in many places. The images painted with words were so real and made me often feel as if I were there. The choices made in life are not always easy and yet they seem to lead us down a path in which we are meant to go. This book portrayed this. +I recommend this book. + +5605 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Edgar Rice Burroughs is best known for two creations: John Carter of Mars and Tarzan of the Apes. A lesser known series is the Caspak Trilogy contained in this work, but in many respects it is his most creative and provocative of all of his formula fiction. Imagine a land where all creation and evolution is taking place simultaneously, and you have the germ of a great story. Burroughs does not use this theme well, falling into his repetitive formula of placing his characters in constant peril at the end of each chapter, but that was a staple of pulp magazine writing in the early 1900s, and it certainly paid off for him, so I give him the benefit of the doubt. The sheer magnificense of the concept alone makes this a valuable work despite the formula writing, especially for Burroughs fans. +The third novella The three misfortunes of Belicia Cabral 1955 1962, deals with the life of Hypata Belicia Cabral, scars mother. We see her at age 13, working with her auntLa Incaat her bread shop, sleeping together in the same bed, until Belicia develops a stupendous body and the same fights that she had with her daughter are now seen with her adoptive mother. At age 15, she escapes her mother and goes to work for Juan Then in a Chinese restaurant. Her figure, wits and savvy make the Chinese restaurant a success. Like her daughter she falls for one of Trujillo's married gangsters and like her daughter the wife, orders her killed and she ends in another sugar cane plantation, but survives and La Inca nourishes her back to life. +1003 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Are there no other news beside people killings?

This one did not disappoint and was awesome. + +2572 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love this book! The illustrations are charming. I bought it as a gift for a new baby and the parents were delighted. + +Although a short story, Look What Santa Brought affords us a `where are they now' glimpse into the lives of Scott's sister and her men, reinforcing one happy ever after while delivering another in the form of Scott and Tara's relationship. +Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews. +Although this is the third book in the series, it can be read and enjoyed without reading the prior volumes. The thrill is less in the plot than in Flanagan's ability to draw the reader into his worlds. I recommend this to anyone who has enjoyed tales of King Arthur and wants to recapture that magic. +Throw in cops, bad guys and mystery you can't top it! Oh, did I mention one hell of a love story? +5750 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 yuk + + +It was hot, though, I'll say that. And I do have a soft spot for the themes of unrequited love (or lust) and love (lust) from afar, like Gage had for Hailey. He was kind of geeky-cute with his affections and I enjoyed that aspect very much. For a quick read that will definitely raise a gal's body temp, I'd recommend this one, but I personally would have liked more story and a less annoying conflict. +1673 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is one of the most interesting books I've ever read. It's written about schizophrenia by a schizophrenic. This woman also happens to be extremely intelligent, has a doctorate in her field, and has suffered with this disease since early adulthood (at least in its recognized form). She has been institionalized, has endured massive drug experimentation, has periods of time during her life that she cannot fully remember, or remembers as a schizophrenic, and yet is able to put it together and write about it coherently. I've simply never read anything like it. +what seems to be insurmountable odds against these two travelers. +4530 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 In the wilds of Transylvania, set on a high spur of rock next to the Wildwood, rests a castle named Piscul Dracului. The castle itself is unexceptional, old and crumbling as it is. Looking at it, you would never know it hides a portal to the Other Kingdom. +3734 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One of my son's absolutely loves this series. I was able to buy the whole set new here on Amazon and it arrived two days later with my prime account. I found the new price here on Amazon only slightly, and I mean slightly, higher than the used prices for these items on Ebay. Considering the price, and the excellent delivery options from Amazon, the choice was a no brainer. They all came in one box and were packed correctly. +4655 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Knitters and mothers beware -- if you start reading this book, you will not be able to put it down until you've devoured every word. Mary is left reeling in the wake of the death of her five-year-old daughter. At the urging of her mother, she starts to knit, and puts her life back together, one stitch at a time. +2.

Now he will do what he can to + +9321 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have to start this review by saying how much I love Elliot Mabeuse and his writing. I'm steadily making my way through his work, and this is my fifth story of his to enjoy. Like the other stories I've read, there is the prominent theme of the heroine being forced to submit to a man, and in doing so, she finally gives in to her own dark, forbidden desires, those desires locked tightly away from herself, yet are so clearly seen and exposed, defined and exploited by the hero. + +6461 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 If you read and liked "Angels' Blood" by Nalini Singh, then "Angels' Pawn" is like an after-dinner mint...a touch of spice with a little heat to round out your meal. If you haven't read "Angels' Blood", then you'll likely just be confused. So far, "Angels' Pawn" is only available as an e-read. +If I may be permitted one quibble ... in the copyright section of the book it claims the book is "a work of fiction." I suspect this may be a flaw with Amazon's publishing tools, but I wasn't sure what I would be reading when I downloaded this book. Rest assured that this is not a novel nor a short story, but a look at one of the most fascinating lights that helped to keep learning alive during the darkest part of the Dark Ages. + + +Recommended. +Smooches +5611 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was hesitant to start this book as I wasn't sure a sequel could live up to the first story. But Ms. Kingsbury managed to bring every character through 3 years of grief and pick up from there. What insight on her part! I love the theme of "Choose Life"; we can all learn from that at some point in our lives. Just three questions - What happened to Sierra's grandpa? Wouldn't Jamie have turned to him when making such important discoveries and decisions? Wouldn't she have included him in Sierra's life? +Now, I saw a review of 1 star for this book because it was dull, but I don't feel that way. +4854 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 What happens in Vegas doesn't necessarily stay in Vegas. That is what three housewives learn the hard way. Abbey Walsh has the perfect life married to a wonderful clergyman. But during a PTA trip to Las Vegas, she is reacquainted with someone she has tried to forget about for years. Now this man is blackmailing her. If her husband learns the truth about her past, she is ruined, and her husband, too, will be ruined. All she has to do is pay Damon $10,000 for a stolen necklace she kept after he was imprisoned. But how will she get that kind of money? Loreen Murphy is in a similar conundrum. After spending a night of passion with an attractive man, she later discovers that he is a male prostitute. He wants his money -- now. So she pays him $1,000. Depressed, she loses an additional $4,000 at the casinos. If this weren't bad enough, she mistakenly uses the PTA credit card. Now she has to pay $5,000 before the PTA find out. What will this about-to-become a divorcee do? Tiffany Vanderslice has been married since she was very young. Her husband is a total jerk, and becoming a mother to two beautiful children hasn't helped improve things. Charlie is almost meticulous about the spending, and when Tiffany indulges in a silly shopping spree, she later discovers that her over the top purchases are nonrefundable. Now she is stuck with a $5,000 dollar credit card bill. How will she cover such a big expense without employment? These three friends have one big thing in common now, and only one person could save them. In comes Sandra Vanderslice, Tiffany's younger sister, and shoe addict who is making it big with her own shoe business. She shares a big secret to these women, the perfect way to make fast, easy money -- becoming phone sex operators. +Purchased: His perfect bride by Helen Bianchin who I like. Wolfe is forced to return to Australia to see to his dead father's will and business. Wolfe has been a bit resentful of Lara because her mother married Wolfe's dad after his divorce with Wolfe's mom. Wolfe makes a marriage proposal to Lara strictly as a business transaction in order to make sure the business remained in the family. Lara accepts because she needs to money to save her beloved restaurant. What starts off as a loveless marriage soon became one that was real and forever! Very sweet! +5781 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is the first book in a Regency series of six books by Shirl Anders about the Archangels, a group of former spys. I previously read the 4th book in the series, My Lady Taken (Archangels), not realizing it was part of a series. I enjoyed Gabriella in that story, so I wanted to read about how her relationship with Drummond came to be. In the editorial review section of Amazon, they give an excerpt that involves Drummond spanking Gabriella. This is the heaviest that the BDSM gets in the book, so I am surprised that it was chosen as an excerpt, as it is a bit misleading about the book. +9830 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 An unlikely crew is led through the gates of hell, as depicted in "Dante's Inferno." Some readers, unfamiliar with Dante will be slow to adjust to what is happening, but the prose overcomes that. The author leads the reader gently by the hand. +I would not recommend this novel for that reason alone. +3416 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Langley never fails to deliver. I love a good shifter tale and this one definitely pleases. Dev is a reluctant hero, rising to the occasion to save his mate, Lainey, from an abusive alpha. Lainey is a spunky, cute, klutz who keeps his handsome mate, and the reader, laughing and groaning in turns at his antics. This fast-paced, sensual story kept me turning pages to find out what happened next. This one has a permanent place on my reader, because once wasn't enough. +3498 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 what a wonderful collection of full length books. I loved every one of them. They were all unique vampire stories. + + +Reader L + +Where this book shines, though, is the dialogue between the characters and the inner monologue of the characters. I chuckled and laughed out loud in several places, and that's so incredibly rare for me, as rare as it is prized. Both characters have a bit of a potty mouth, and Jo in particular has a very...earthy way of describing things, and I found it likable and amusing. I found Jo likable and amusing, actually. There were even moments in this book that surprised me with its insightful observation. +9637 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the last book of the series couldn't but it down didn't want it to end looking forward to reading more books from Vivian Arend. +2542 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This book doesn't fit the description of the book given, a description that fits a book the same ISBN.

I'll enjoy this for years, as I re-read my favorites frequently. +458 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was an absorbing read. It personalized one narrow aspect of the Civil War conflict that succeeded in bringing home to me the real horror of the War Between the States. It was significant to me, as well, that the McGavock family and the cemetery Carrie McGavock caused to be created for the dead of the Battle of Franklin actually existed and exists today. + + + +I hardly know where to start. The first 150 pages are Nina the potty mouth SUPER-B**CH running around raving because she has been turned into a vampire. She claims it is part of the vampire plot to turn everyone into vampires. (If everyone was a vampire what would we eat?-Duh.) Yeah she is that dumb and illogical. +The only thing I don't like about the books is the rather stereotyped Indian mysticism. Walt gets visions or prophetic dreams on a regular basis and I generally could have done without all of this. Well, with one exception. I did rather enjoy Virgil in HELL IS EMPTY, his latest book. To give as few spoilers as possible, the book relies heavily on themes and images from Dante's INFERNO, and so it is appropriate that Walt should have a Virgil as his guide, even if Walt himself is well beyond the middle stage of life. +Macho hotties with a heart of gold add up to Trouble Comes in Threes. A common plotline made more interesting when you have three Alphas pitted against an intelligent, seemingly demure newscaster. Trouble Comes in Threes is a predicable story yet the writing brings the characters alive and gives readers a fresh, sexy tale. Pleasing and fun, Trouble Comes in Threes is an altogether enjoyable story. +Anya Bast's TAKEN delivers on all those `out of this world' fantasies woman possess. Anne's spunky attitude and refusal to blindly accept everything Caleb and Van tell her kept me chuckling - and kept her men guessing at what it would take to convince her to stay. I was expecting a fun read when I selected this story but in no way did I anticipate the emotional impact it'd have. Caleb, Van and Anne are a trio that truly capture the imagination and leave you salivating for more. + + +6042 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Sometimes it takes two.... Awesome story line.. Disheartening to see how some women think that taking a beating somehow shows love. Chris is a lucky lady to have found not one but two men to love her unconditionally. +5923 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love it! The story is compeling, the characters strong and the audiobook is perfect! The narrator did an excelent job. I like the brogue of the Marrok and the deep sound of Charle's voice makes me shiver! I like that the autor choose to complete the story of Cry Wolf. I read the saga -minus the last book- practically in one sitting! Couldn't stop! WOW! + +3017 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Don't bother buying. Didn't find it full of characterisation. Basic stuff with lots of pulsating manhood and orgasms. If you like those then buy it LOL +8665 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Elizabeth Lennox is an amazing author! I have read many of her books and no two are alike! It's so unbelievable how she can keep these stories so new and fresh! This story was no exception. What preparatory!! +8826 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 An interesting new world of sci-fantasy and M/M combined by a talented writer. Lassen and Rohyr are wonderful together. Rohyr dutiful, Lassen sacrificing and kind. A nice loves story is behind it all and is revealed as the tale unfolds. +Fighting, killing, flirting, and loving! It's got it all!! +The game is gay chicken. + + +7004 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Craig Johnson is a master of creating unforgettable characters. His plots are believable, his people are quirky and yet they're understandable. I recommend the entire series. + + +I totally disagree with his assumption that a retiree can use a SWR (Safe Withdrawal Rate) of 8% in retirement. Bengen's and Bierwirth's studies back in 1994 were seminal events in financial planning in that they found 4% was the maximum SWR (Safe Withdrawal Rate). If the stock market experiences a prolonged drop early in a retirement period, SWR's higher than 4% will cause the retiree to exhaust his portfolio before this death. +9875 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a fun little mystery with a sympathetic heroine. I would not have been unhappy to buy this book - but it was free for kindle! To some extent, I judge books based on whether I'd give them to my sister after reading. This one qualifies in spades. Read and enjoy. +9794 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 While the story get off to a slow start, once you get past the information dumps (there are three or four, I think), the story really takes off. +Can't wait until the next brothers installment. +7925 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book has been written it such a way that it has me intrigued & eager to read the next one. + + +* The epilogue. I could have done without it. It's one of the rare books where I was totally satisfied before the epilogue, so maybe this is a compliment. +8129 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A girl and her 3 guy pals, just jump into it. Charli finds herself on a decidedly decadent shore excursion, playing "The Race Erotic". With each sexy challenge, it becomes clearer that down deep, she desires not one, not two, but all three of her remaining single buddies. She definitely wins the race. +9151 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Very erotic and intense mystery . I was really beginning to think she was really crazy. But to finally find out the truth in the end was great. +819 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 While this was a good book, I can't say its a favorite of the series. Since I didn't read them in order, that could have something to do with that. I now have them lined up to finish in the right order and that should take care of that. It does give us an update on Julia, for those who have been following these stories. It also is the book where Maggie Spritzer is introduced and the other reporter Ted starts "working'' with her. They both are looking for The Pulitzer and are only willing to work together so far. At this point of the story, their time together is just starting, its really just early days. + + + +7883 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I love this magazine, but will never buy another magazine for my Kindle (this is the e-mag). Way too hard to read! Wish I could have returned it. +2896 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Knitting Circle is the first book I have read by Ann Hood and I will certainly look for other books by her. + + +The writing quality was great! Humorous when it could be, but serious when needed as well. +As the author writes in conclusion, "Human minds did not become vulnerable to just any odd kind of supernatural beliefs. On the contrary, because they had many sophisticated inference systems, they became vulnerable to a very restricted [italics] set of supernatural concepts: the ones that jointly activate inference systems for agency, predation, death, morality, social exchange, etc. Only a small range of concepts are such that they reach this aggregate relevance, which is why religion has common features the world over (pp. 324-325)." +8528 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this ..... typical Mills & Boon medical romance but it was very easy to read, well written and the characters grow on you from the beginning. + +A whole lot happens in this book from point 'A' to 'B' and a good deal of detailed steps that add many dimensions to the large cast of young adult characters. Eventually, they come into contact with more people and their camp becomes the village of Petersburg--named for one of the founding members who helped establish peace at the camp at the start of the story. The happenings during the expansion will disturb many readers brought up in the black and white societal view delineating when a child becomes an adult. Also probably rural and urban upbringing will see the relationships that occur in this book differently as well. Many people will be offended or have argument with the later portion of the story. +It's worse when Ashwini learns Nazarach has more than a passing interest in her. + + +For myself, I'm inspired to read through the New Testament once again, seeking to understand the love of God through His word as I seek to draw near to Him. I am confident that He Loves Me! will reach many believers who are seeking to regain an authentic, personal walk with Christ as they emerge from works based expectations. + + +3073 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Glenn Thater's, The Gateway, is a masterfully crafted epic fantasy about the ages old struggle between good and evil. It is based not only myth and legned, but also on rare, but historical manuscripts which are believed to predate such tales as Beowulf and Gilgamesh. This is a real page-turner that will have you on the edge of your seat from the first to the very last page, after which you will be scrambling to purchase the sequel... +Max and Ryan have great chemistry from the moment they meet. One of the things that I loved about their story is that there was a real progression to their relationship. Even though they were immediately attracted to each other the reader gets to experience how their relationship progresses from mere attraction to a lasting type of love. Max meets her brother, Ryan meets her family and friends....my point here is: They get to know each other as they fall in love. Discovering why and how the characters fall in love with each other as it happens to them is one of the reasons why I love reading romance. Sadly, that isn't always illustrated in words in every romance novel. Especially in erotic romance where the loves scenes tend to make up the entire relationship. That's not to say that Turn It On doesn't have its share of steamy love scenes...because it does, but it also has scenes that bind them together as a couple too. + +This book was written to enlighten people about the United States federal budget and it accomplishes this goal with both simplicity and style. As everyone knows, the federal budget of the United States is gigantic- the largest government budget in the world with revenues and spending levels that make it several times larger than even the largest corporation. These larger than life numbers often create confusion on the part of the public, and one of the main goals of this book is to put the numbers into perspective so that readers will understand them. Through the use of graphs, charts, and comparisons, the authors succeed at making the numbers understandable. For example, there is one section that helps the reader understand how much a billion dollars is by showing what this amount of money could buy. To quote one example, a billion dollars is enough to pay the college tuition for 45,000 people at a private university for one year. To understand how large a trillion is, you have to multiple this figure 1000 times, resulting in some mind- numbing figures. Now, when you consider that the United States total debt is more than nine trillion dollars, you can understand more fully just how serious the problem is. +5343 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Gave up about half way through. Too much repetition, too much that didn't make sense and was hard to follow. +I did learn a great deal about life from "Bleak House". I learned about how I shouldn't let its occasional pitfalls bother me. Its best to just keep trudging on. + +9837 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A pretty good read. A retelling of Daunte but with a few new twists and turns. Not much Templar lore though. + + +9798 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was believable, possible, and no Zombies. + +7707 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 i was a little hesitant about this book. turns out this was a great book. i already ordered the next book. i love the characters and how this book keeps you guessing. would definitely recommend this book to others +This book is thought provoking and explores the relationship between all of us and the universal energy fields.

What else can one say about a typical digital download? + +7903 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I think I am reading to many romance novels, lately they all seem to have the same storyline. Rich black male pursuing a heroine who has emotional issues with commitment. To me, this love story was no different than the others. Its time for me to take a break..... +Two stars for the attempt, but don't waste your time on this. +Fans of Annmarie McKenna's work will be delighted when they recognize the hero of Look What Santa Brought as the very same Scott Wyatt we first met in her book Blackmailed. Yes, this is the same Scott that is Brianna's little brother! Of course, this new story takes place years later and Scott is one very sexy adult man now, ready for his own shot at romance with the woman of his dreams. +1153 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 item exactly as advertised. +8163 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I looked at one review and had to start to agree with the person. I happen to be completely familiar with Doc's works. Then I stepped back for a moment and asked my self why was I getting these copies on Kindle to start with. + + + +9519 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My thoughts: + + + + +3696 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Heroes and villains - they're all here! Loads of action and excitement for male or female readers. Can't wait to see what's next! +While Sheridan has been a loner since she was changed, she needs help with a stalker (former boyfriend) who has gotten way out of hand. When she meets Adrian her inner cat tells her that he is her mate. But, she fights it as she knows her stalker will be a death threat to Adrian if he suspects that she is mated to him. + +BFN Greggorio! +743 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The 2 month free trial is well worth a try. I'll say that up front. +Moreover, many of the characters are interchangeable and forgettable. Many have a sort of smart alleck-y way of speaking to each other and seem to try to one up each other with silly, crude comments. It also doesnt help that Walts love life is constantly being pushed into the narrative too. This was annoying too, and it seems silly/unrealistic that many of the female characters are all falling over for him. + +1953 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Nothing really to say except it was good, and the temujai seemed to be fashioned after the Mongols and Genghis Khan. +4708 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I didn't want these books to end! The story kept evolving. I loved these books. +John Flannagan writes with a wit and charm that captures the imagination of young and old alike, my son's young and my old. I find myself speeding through the series looking forward to the next book. I am lucky I got into it a little late so there are a few books to catch up until I am waiting with the rest of the world. I am enchanted by these books and more than willing for all of my children to endulge their fantasy reading with them. +4656 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Knitting Circle is a searing portrait of a mother's loss, of her grief at her five-year-old daughter's death from meningitis, and of her healing process...she joins a knitting circle and slowly unfolds herself, awakening from her grief, as she learns to not only come to terms with her terrible loss but also finds kindred spirits amongst members of her knitting group, who each have their share of stories of loss, hope, and survival. It is a heartfelt story about how one learns to go on after enduring a tragedy, the loss of someone dear, and the fact that the story is semiautobiographical [the author herself lost her daughter to illness] makes it all the more real and poignant. +I don't really want to say anything about the plot beyond what is stated in the blurb. Since this is a novella going beyond that would give too much away. I will underline that the main character is a teenager, so I'm assuming this is a start to a YA series. But that didn't detract from me enjoying it as an adult and I thought the teenagers were well-drawn.

Readers first meet him in Moon Called and gets smatterings of mentions in Mercy's books. He's the son of the Marrok so it's bound to happen.

Nicholas Van Tassel is a stuffy professor at a small college in New Hampshire in the early 1900s. His stuffiness, at first, rubbed me the wrong way. But I've been pleased with Anita Shreve's past books and was determined to keep going, despite this. It was also a little difficult to get used to the way the book is written. The stilted words as Nicholas tells the story of falling in love with Etna and their life together was an initial drawback, but after the first 40 or 50 pages, I was at ease with it. +Laine Campbell smells something wonderful as he slowly reaches consciousness. Unsure of where he is, he opens his eyes and is instantly delighted and amazed at what he sees. He has a mate of his very own and this mate is hot!

I finally know what I can and can't eat and I don't have to starve because I have no idea what to eat, besides peanut butter, to control the spikes.

Drive and Determination is definately one of the better modernizations. I've read all of Kara Louise's other books and I think she's an imaginative story teller. My only objection was that she killed off Elizabeth's sister Jane early in the book but at least this disaster served as a way to bring Darcy and Elizabeth together so they could get to know each other better. It allowed her to see the kinder, more caring side of Darcy which made her falling in love with him more believable. Generally, I liked the scenes in Guatemala more than those in the U.S. If you love Darcy and Elizabeth, I recommend adding this book to your book shelf. +46 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Now in his senior years, Nicholas Van Tassel travels on a train from New England to Florida for the burial of his sister, while writing the memoirs of his ruined life.

I also read all the other reviews, some twice, in order to digest their input. + + +The story is told from both Lilith's and Lincoln's point of view, which gives the reader an insight into their thoughts and feelings. I was completely engrossed from the first page and struggled to put my Kindle down long enough to eat lunch! Thank goodness it was the weekend, else I would have been rather annoyed if I couldn't get back to reading it until later! I picked up the book again, and was quickly pulled back into the story. A different prophecy has come to light, which involves not only Lincoln, but Lilith herself, and needs to be fulfilled. The surprising twists and turns kept me turning the pages. Lincoln has a few secrets of his own, and has a very interesting back story; I was intrigued by it. There are also some other interesting characters in this story, and a few familiar faces make a welcome return. Daniel, Lilith's boss, is another one keeping secrets and Mark, her boyfriend, is a total jerk! Meeting Lilith's father was an interesting experience - I would love to know his story one day. It was also nice to see Prophecy, Valentine and Venturi again, even though it was only for a short flying visit. +Reviewed for One Good Book Deserves Another. +I will definitely read the next two books in this series. +The reasons I felt this didn't merit five stars and "classic" status are: +8196 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This story was interesting and unique.

It is unbelievable how he faked an FAA license; a law degree from Harvard and enough bad checks to keep him in permanent retirement. +Caleb's Woman is a wonderful story about love, adoption, acceptance and determination, all rolled into one fast paced erotic offering. I liked how Ms. Vaughn gave us a bit of the background as to how Sommer came to be living among the Wulfen, or as some may joke, raised by wolves. I also thought she did the story justice by not making the characters go after each other when they were younger, but to let them both mature to know what they want. I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons that Ms. Vaughn wove into the story about how over protective parents can sometimes seem suffocating. I think Caleb's Woman is a solid addition to the Torrid Tarot series. + +7854 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 OMG this book was so amazing. Not much of a warewolf fan, but this one changed my mind!

Fotr example, all the years of carb counting I read books that hinted alcohol did not have carbs as such, but anyone with sense would avoid it if all possible. I believed that authors were just raining on the parade instead of saying 'GOOD NEWS, GET AS DRUNK AS YOU LIKE ON THIS DIET!!' the glycemic index I assume is the same in every book showed the same < 'less than' sign it did for the meat and other protein foods as having no carbs to speak of . the text dais that alchhol could make you want to eat more, but that was all. So let me give you the good news, you can get as drunk as you like on the diet!! Now I don't drink often so when I do a very small amount works real good. And given some very disturbing things happening at the time (what the I Ching calls 'misfortune from without', not something I caused to happen) and I was finding one a day of those little bud-a rama fake 8% margueritas for over a week and binge watching historical costume Korean soap operas was making my life a lot less stressful. +For the most part, what kept me reading it till the end was the prose. As a writer who is new to the industry, it was more of an exercise in adjusting my mind to great writing by reading quality writing. You write what you read just like you are what you eat! With me just working on my first work of fiction, it was not about the content but more about a lesson in "wordsmithery" and "verbal tapioca" as it's been called. +7861 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 "When the two of them finally act on their mutual desire, everything around them fades away in the face of the blazing heat.

Some of the scenes were downright HOT! +1206 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Here are three Jennifer Cruise novels that read like modern versions of the old screwball comedies. Nobody called "Bringing Up Baby" or "it Happened One Night" chick lit. They were just movies that were clever and funny and charming. About people with great chemistry who say clever things and have adventures until they realize they are better and happier together than apart. I'm not sure anybody writes this way anymore except for Jennifer Cruise, and if I knew how she does it I would try to do it myself. I wish they would make more modern movies like this, but oh well we can read Cruise and hope she'll write some new novels. +Money Myths +385 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 The book starts out very intriguing, introcucing the bourgeois, and the common (worker class) people; however it quickly turns into how communism is the answer to all of 'today's' (at least, the early 1900's) problems. +8730 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Plot/Storyline: 3 Stars +This tale takes Will and Evanlyn to the small town of Hallasholm.

This is the first book I read of Jayne Rylon. Its the book that made me fall in love with her as an author. I would love to live out my sexual dreams like this too. + +In `The Gateway', indie author Glenn G. Thater has created a mythology and a world that feels as real as that of Tolkien's Middle Earth. It begins with a Foreword that uses the intriguing plot device of purporting to be the culmination of years of research into the existence and mythology of a `legendary' figure, Lord Angle Theta. That foreword hooked me immediately, history and mythology geek that I am. + +5329 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Can't get enough of this series.

None at all. +6958 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great introduction to a great series, full of fascinating, human characters. +9863 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book has several things going for it: a great heroine, sexy kinky erotic sex scenes, a sexy hero. It's difficult from a reader's point of view to read about a slightly trashy, morally questionable heroine. In the hands of most other authors, this girl would have been the 'bad guy' trying to break apart the hero & heroine. I applaud the author for making her as gritty as she was portrayed. The down side to this book was that it felt wrapped up too quickly at the end. The end felt like there was still more that needed to be talked about or the scenes needed to be broken up / expanded / what-have-you. That's the main reason why its a 4 star (actually, I debated whether if it really desereved the 4th star - but the hot 'scenes' made that extra star a no brainer). +Author of Falling Immortality: Casey Holden, Private Investigator +Ms. Sands has come up with a new idea for how vampires were created...though at some points her medical explanations were hard to follow - as in they did not make much sense - but her take on vampires is wonderfully fresh. +9968 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This novel caused me a lot of problems. I stayed up two nights in a row reading it and then I couldn't sleep because I was still laughing at the mad scenes and the black humour. My husband thought I was 'on' something. Murder, stalkings, holdups and dead bodies should NOT be funny but Babara Silkstone forces you to laugh at things that would normally make you shudder. From the very first chapter to the exciting conclusion, the story doesn't stall for an instant. It's a fairytale with a twist, a mad journey to exciting places and the breathless pace is exhilarating to say the least. The dialogue is fantastic and the courtroom scenes are a scream. +1945 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was filled with difficult choices, dilemmas and war. Another great story, including a hint of romance. John Flanagan - keep it coming!!! +5452 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I've just started reading this series, I actually started with Bear Necessities, which I loved but these read better when they are in order, the problem is finding out the correct order! +This is definitely a book I would read again and again, especially when I craving for something sweet and spicy. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series. +It's actually a book filled with 'gossip' about the caesers more than their military exploits. Filled with intrigue and scandals. If that interests you then you will find this enjoyable. +While Ranger's Apprentice borrows from already-established fantasy tropes, it has been marvelously popular with young readers of fantasy. John Flanagan's elevation of a ranger character, someone more gifted at stealth and marksmanship than brute force, has fleshed out an often-neglected portion of fantasy literature. His reliance on themes of loyalty, bravery, endurance and friendship leave young readers in safe hands as they learn to navigate dangerous waters on their own. + +The only real unbelievable part of the story, for me, was the 'Chief': a thirteen-year-old boy who took over as the leader of the camp. During the age (adolescence) when testosterone abounds, an older boy most certainly would have tried to capture the flag from protagonist Mike. +thecultureworm.blogspot.com +838 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Fern Michaels doesn't know how to write a bad books. There are several author's that you can count on for great books and she is one of the best. +All of these faults would be easier to cope with if the book were simply bad, and therefore easily dismissed--but it's not. The setting is under-explored (the magical elements in particular often feel like a pseudo-Celtic fairy world), but Transylvania is a pleasant change. A number of sub-plots and a sense of magic keep the reader interested, even when the direction of the story is obvious. And most promising of all, Jena and her sisters have the potential to be spirited, independent young woman--interesting characters in any setting and any sort of novel. There are just enough promising aspects to keep the reader hoping that the book will improve, and so it's all the more frustrating when it does not. I can't possibly recommend Wildwood Dancing. It has some good bits and has the potential for many more, but it never becomes enjoyable. Instead, the story is bogged down by frustration and predictability, and it never rewards the reader for the labor of its 400 pages. Avoid this book--there are many similar novels (even if not set in Transylvania) that are far more successful. +7879 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this fast paced novel, which I downloaded to my Kindle for PC. The author kept the suspense and pace at a good level throughout. There were a couple of instances of "you're" instead of "your" but I have noticed that MS Word incorrectly transposes these words and only very close editing prevents their misuse. These typos should only trouble the most demanding and don't hinder the telling of a very insightful story. I look forward to reading more from this author. + +On an aside, as a suggestion on reading material, my favorite fantasy books are by Robin Hobb--namely the Farseer series and the other series connected with it. Just my opinion! +Outside the bars of prison and facing his new life in Christ, Preacher is confronted by the enemy on many levels. First, he has a secret that may ruin his friendship with Barnard Jenkins, who has been instrumental in showing him the way to God. The secret is one he shares with Barnard's wife whom he wants to give an opportunity to come clean first. Then, there are his living arrangements. How will he be able to stay in the same home with the mother of his children in hopes of building a family and still remain close to God? And lastly, his sister is still in the business and desperately wants Preacher back as her partner and she will do anything to get him back. +Now what would really be nice is to have a story about Rodney and Maribel. Plus it would be interesting to find out if Tiffany's life was really as perfect, as she pretended. I seriously doubt it since she was such a witch to Tamara. I would also like to know if Renata really divorced her husband. It would be interesting to find out if he cheated because she was so shallow. These books leave a lot of room for spin off stories about the supporting characters. I think Jordan and Natasha's story would be really interesting too. Although I wasn't crazy about Man of Fate, this book more than made up for it. +The story is well written and has some interesting characters and plot twists along the way. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the fantasy genre and for [...] why not give it a try. I am intrigued enough by the author that I will be purchasing his other book in the near future to see what else he has to offer. + +1216 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 These four books are some of Crusie's earlier books so they are shorter than most of her newer novels and the plotlines are not quite as well developed but her trademark humor and loveable characters are present in spades! These books are all great summer reads and at $10 for the set this is a steal! +Kallysten does it again! Fabulous steamy short stories that leave you wanting so much more. + +2345 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As the author of a popular horror novel, I was blown away by this book. As readers, we get to watch the exciting action unfold from the perspective of the monsters and the human beings - both trying to survive. The alternate dimension is vividly rendered and nightmarishly creepy. The idea of the stone formations above Indian burial mounds being portals to alternate dimensions is inspired and it is a testament to the author's skill that he makes it seem not only plausible but possible. I give this book five stars for being both a suspenseful horror novel and an exciting paranormal action/adventure novel. Highly recommended! + +Regardless of your political ideology, having knowledge of other ideas can only improve you as a human being, and further your argument for your personal ideology. + +2997 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Are you a Christian? Are you really sure or are you following a false GOSPEL OF "EASY BELIEVISM" where they told you just believing is Jesus is enough. This book will help you see what true Christianity is all about and you WILL find out if you are truly saved. Think about this carefully and JUDGE YOURSELF. This book will help. Matthew 7: 21-23 21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [a]miracles? 23 And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. +3047 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 did not purchase + + +4858 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I like it, but Bleak House can be difficult to read with a lot of verbosity as befits the time but which renders the book hard labour.

Stormy creates a believable world full of well rounded characters, first and secondary. The story between Nate and Joe is well developed, sweet, and fun. It's fast paced, sensual, and easily kept me interested. I loved the way Joe wanted to take care of his mate, and how Nate showed his inner strength. It was so easy to relate to these two characters. The way she builds her secondary characters also left me wanting to learn more about them. I had to go find the second in the series right away! Great read! +Llewellyn Dunmore has spent his life watching his father go from woman to woman. He knows no different and so he puts his knowledge to use by seducing anything in skirts.

At one point I was leaning over my IPad with my heart thumping so fast I had to laughing at myself when I realized how into this book I was. I love Mandy Roth books. The futuristic setting and the supernaturals just really held me captive. The fact that Sevan & Lorelei had been "interacting" for months was so romantic but when destiny really forces them together it's wonderful. It's every persons fantasy to bring the best out of their significant others but Lorelei brings the hidden best out of Sevan in a big way. +5355 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Republish and new cover.

Trump's gonna win anyway, and then they'll find out who's boss. + +824 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 loved it + +9027 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I downloaded EYE OF THE STORM by Monette Michaels which was a modern action suspense romance novel and enjoyed it so much that I went looking for more of her books and found this one. While I have expanded my selections of reading material, my first love is Sci/Fi and this satisfied my craving. + FORBIDDEN TOUCH is a timely and well written romance. I couldn't help but see the shades of the current day events in Aruba and I appreciated the author's sensitive manner in handling this. As always, any book by Paula Graves is highly recommended! +5783 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I liked the story, I just feel that the beginning could have been better. Gabriella rolled over with no resistance or indignant outrage when informed of her impending fate with Kitteridge. The story line gets better and has a great ending, just a weak start. +5351 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this book...it was hot and romantic at the same time. I loved how she was willing to love him regardless of his face. I loved how he took a chance. Loved his dominance. It so hot the way he takes control...a must read. +8897 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It's not likely that you will find a mystery that hews more closely to the classic format for "Murder in a stately mansion with a domineering, tyrannical old person who controls the money". This is the variant in which the relevant group are made up entirely of family members or old "retainers". Most every author of classic mysteries has resorted to the device at least once, some have made it their favorite setting. In 1942 Heyers penned this version which certainly has one nasty Master as its dominant beastly one in addition to the usual quaint, weak, theatrical, determined, overawed, frightened, frustrated dependents. Heyer draws the characters well, although the number of them make the less relevant somewhat difficult to separate from each other. The story moves along at a leisurely pace, giving the reader a chance to sort out the players and get a feel for their traits. We know who dun it before the crime is committed, or.........that you will have to find out for yourself. +That said, I read Dead Man's Rain first and had so many questions that I emailed Frank. What's a Jerk? Which war was this, where is this set, etc. Silly me, still forgetting that this is a fantasy. I missed out on a lot of the background by not reading The Mister Trophy first, so if you're reading this and haven't read any of the other Markhat series yet, definitely start with this one. He answered me right away. But you can save yourself the embarrassment of having to be told, in the nicest possible way, "It's all a fantasy, I made it up". I would have gotten that immediately if I had read the books in order. +I give this Mystery a Five-Lash rating (~~~~~) +I was immediately drawn in from the moment Louisa entered the cave. Like a moth to the flame Louisa and Douglas are drawn to each other despite numerous reasons against their friendship. Louisa is an extremely rich heiress who has inherited every unfortunate facial feature in her family. She believes she looks as much like a horse as is humanly possible. None of her suitors can see past the face to the person and beauty beneath; to her honesty, fairness, intelligence, and compassion. They pursue only her fortune. It shouldn't still hurt but it does and keeps her separate from everything and everyone, an outcast. +Jane one minute acts like an experienced sub, and the next she's hesitating over the simplest of tasks. She doesn't really work as a character and I have no desire to actually buy the next two books and see what happens next, there are enough cliched characters and situations here... this is common tale retold without wit or warmth. + +3162 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Still reading +Every man should read this book. The information is timeless (mostly) and helpful. If you are married or in a relationship, I highly encourage you to read it together to help each other understand a bit more about how you tick. +6190 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Finally you can read the fun and interesting national newspaper in an electronic mobile format. +4540 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Deep within the shadowed and mysterious forests of Transylvania live five sisters; Tati, Jena, Iulia, Paula, and Stela. Each Full Moon the sisters slip through a secret portal into the Other World, where they dance the night away with the place's peculiar but inviting inhabitants. But back in their own world, the sisters' quiet lives are thrown wildly off course as their sickly merchant father leaves for warmer climates during the fierce and bitter Transylvanian winter. Jena is left in charge of the business until he returns. But their cousin Cezar is dubious at Jena's abilities, and begins to strip her of her responsibilities, until the sisters are prisoners in their own home. +4718 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely LOVED this series..... I read the 2nd one first (Magic Study) by accident, not knowing there was a #1 and #3.... and still, it was one of the best series I have ever read. The stories were new and interesting. The characters were different and likable (and hatable.) The twists and turns of magic, poisons and an amazing world that unfolds before your eyes has made me seek out any other book I can get from this author. Thank you, Ms. Snyder, I didn't even know I could love this type of novel so much! +8020 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was a good book. I like that Loralei has powers that are different from Mandy's other characters. The only down side was that the ending was a little abrupt.. but who knowss maybe the next book will pick up where this left off. +Its a enjoyable read. Its fun, light-hearted and an easy read. +Natalie S. +260 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a very good spiritual read. I learned a from it. I would recommend this book to a any one who is struggling with this issue +I will not tell you any more, hopefully this haas whetted your appetite. I highly recommend the book to anyone with an open-mind, a love for anything to do with Pride and Prejudice, or someone who enjoys period romances. +5281 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I am a huge fan of Dave Ramsey. I first learned about him when we did a financial class in my youth group years ago. I have now incorporated more of his ideas into our family budget and am always wanting to read more of his ideas. While his ideas are not earth shattering or complicated(it's simple which is why people do it!)-it helps when someone can explain a budget and give you examples on how it should look. +3303 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I've been reading a lot of World War II books lately and needed a break from the heavy reading, so I ordered up this book for my Kindle. I'd heard of Faye Kellerman but never read any of her books. I always like to start at the beginning rather than dive into the middle of a series. For one thing, when a series begins oftentimes the author's protagonists are fresh and more 3 dimensional. As time goes on, too many times in a series the author gets tired of their creations and simply write to satisfy their fan base. Anyway, in this book Kellerman introduces a duo that is definitely different from any other two protagonists I've seen...one is a detective in a sex crime unit, and the other is the female target of a crime in a yeshiva (which makes her a very religious Jew). This introduces the reader not only to a good mystery/crime but also to a chance to learn about another culture, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The history and the religious information made the people become more alive in the book, and a lot of the problems of the growing attraction between Decker (the cop) and Rina (the woman in the yeshiva) becomes more understandable when the rules and laws of the Jewish religion is explained. +www.melissa413readsalot.blogspot.com +6291 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Harley has been working hard to keep his farm going through a never-ending drought. Desperate to provide for his family, he decides to sell the mules and take a job elsewhere in Kansas building a castle. He loves his wife but sees her growing discontent with her lot in life and wants to prove himself to her. They are both stubborn and argue before he leaves. +Doing Dave Ramsey's money makeover isn't easy. It requires sacrifice and maybe even being ridiculed by friends and family when the rest are enjoying the good life while sacrifice might mean driving a beat up car while paying things off. The magic words are "in cash" and not credit. Credit cards have been touted as the way to go, but they are our worst enemy. He talks about the illusion of wealth of the middle class or even people who have expensive cars and homes, and reminds us "not to try to keep up with the Joneses, because the Joneses are broke." Pretty good advice in my opinion. Making a budget is crucial and sticking to it is even more crucial. All the forms for budgeting and other financial forms are in the back of the book. I have no credit cards and pay only in cash now. +There is very little downside to this entertaining book, but I will mention blood and gore beyond what I consider moderation, so I reluctantly withdrew one star. I was a bit confused by the ending section (did I miss the toll booth signs?) and wondered if it was primarily to calm us readers down after the last carnage. +Reviewer, TwoLips Reviews, LLC + +But why do our minds work in this manner? The social interaction among chimpanzees is highly complex, yet they aren't religious. Why did natural selection favour the evolution of a religious-prone mind? Boyer's response is that it actually didn't. Rather, religious ideas are parasitical upon our cognitive processes. Natural selection favoured, say, our ability to decouple or our moral instincts, and religion emerged as an inevitable but unintended by-product. (If you pardon my teleological language!) Thus, religious ideas aren't really necessary for survival. However, they are more or less impossible to get rid of, being rooted in our very brains. In a sense, the atheist Boyer thus draws a pessimistic conclusion concerning the future of religion. It will always be around! He also admits that there is no good explanation for why some people, like himself, become atheists. It's some kind of natural variation, and that's all we can say. +5- Loved revisiting the I-Team once again! Always a plus point. +4635 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 "When you are lost, in this world or on the continent of time itself, remember who you have been and you will know who you are. These people were all you, and you are them. I was you before you were born and you will be me after I am gone. That is the meaning of family." This reminder from an old Chinese man to his half-caste grandson is a likely point for anyone who reads A GIFT OF RAIN to enter its spirit, no matter who you are. This novel is about family, and a very complicated one. It also is about one's sacred self whom must be obeyed. +9895 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Downloaded this free short story when I wanted something quick to read one night before going to sleep. Cute story of a family with a twist at the end. +"Kossacks," as the members call themselves -- an ironic fun-poking at uninformed people who believe it when they are told these people are communists -- are an independent, spirited bunch with wide-ranging interests, talents, and employments. Hardly "just a bunch of kids," many are professional people (even some famous ones), and most of the diarists who rise to prominence behave professionally no matter what their age. Sincere and honest glimmers of personality shine through, however, which gives the writing a spirit, depth, and humanity that you'll never find in homogenized, regurgitated talking-points fare. +The Qur'an states that Muhammad is dead and in the grave, whilst Jesus is in paradise. +Personally I'm sick and tired of "forced" relationships wherein magical forces MAKE the characters have a relationship. It's usually a sign of a writer's laziness in writing about love, or worse. But Briggs actually pulls it off -- despite the mystical wolf-mating between Charles and Anna's lupine sides, their budding relationship is a genuinely touching one, full of protectiveness, respect and growing trust. +Jambrea +1340 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent examination of the forces and factors that shape the history of Human Civilization.

I thought the sex scenes were immature, dramatic (in a bad way) and unrealistic. In my opinion, the writing was only fair. The whole thing made me think the author was just writing a story of her personal fantasies without personal experience. +5187 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was recommended by a friend that is debt free. I have already placed some of the things into place and if nothing else I am determined. Just last month I was abut to trade in a 2013 car just because I wanted a new one. I laugh as I write this but let's see where I'm at 6 months from now. Very good book for those that are serious about changing their financial mindset and situation. +This brilliant novel paved the way for others that followed it. Not only do the authors underscore the traumatic aspects of police work, but they also emphasize the changing nature of society. People no longer look out for one another as closely as they once did. We are anonymous faces in an uncaring universe. Ironically, with all of the time and energy that the police expend, sometimes it takes a lucky break, not brilliant deductive powers, to solve a tough case. With its sardonic humor and psychological analysis of the sickness afflicting a small number of twisted individuals, "The Man on the Balcony" is as disturbing as it is mesmerizing. Over forty years have passed since this book was first published. During the late sixties, there were no cell phones and no DNA analysis. Computer technology was in its infancy. Nevertheless, this novel is still as fresh, timely, and compelling as it was back then. +1620 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was impressed with how clear and grounded Donald Trump was with great examples. My brother sent me this book as a gift just as I was looking to see how I will expand my business. It was the perfect book for this time in my life. It was also great to see how the book used the Learning Annex vehicle to further illustrate with similar examples that just buttressed the examples from Donald Trump's experiences and setbacks, failures and huge successes. Wonderful read! +One day, when Alice knows that Ray won't be able to pretend she's a little girl much longer, he orders her to find him a new victim...an innocent child whom he can "take care of" and show "how to be good." +Jeanne Zabst +2679 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book dares the reader to imagine a bolder side of Mr. Darcy & Miss Bennet.

An instant obsession forms on his part and for him she will become the thing he must have, no matter what it will cost him. +Mary has lost her five year old daughter and her attempts to get back into her routines of life are just not happening. Her mother encourages her to join a knitting circle and so she eventually does, meeting a group of women with stories of their own. One by one, you learn of the sadness and the success of the others in the group and watch as Mary grows stronger. +Karigan is such a strong character. She is a young woman who runs away from school, not exactly someone trained for anything she will encounter. Yet Karigan is stubborn and willing to do anything to keep her promise to Fryan Cobblebay. She will reach Sacor City no matter what. If there is a way, Karigan will find it. + +8000 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really liked the premise in this story. It allows Ms. Roth to expand into a new world and I liked where she went. In Lorelei and Sevan, we were given strong characters. They were loyal and determined to protect. I loved the push/pull between them and the chemistry that leaped off the pages. Ms. Roth does a wonderful job of blending these strong characters into a couple that makes sense. The twists she provided helped move the story along and I am looking forward to seeing what will happen next. +Single or married, this book is an easy read that will pay off in your dealings with women for the rest of your life! + +3929 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Short and to the point.

All that needless kerfuffle about it being WRONG to split infinitives and WRONG to start sentences with conjunctions and WRONG to end them with prepositions, when it's actually, really and truly NOT WRONG to do any of that.

Scottoline opens the novel with her protagonist, Bennie Rosato, walking into the county prison where her newest client is in residence, mentally rattling off statistics that we've all heard a million times, most of which are, to say the least, on shaky ground as far as their worth is concerned. It is a horrible opening; thankfully, it is also short.

No such luck. She's too busy beating him back into the bed. Of course, it's a hotel bed, what with ex still entrenched in his house and all. Add to that ex's psuedo-suicide attempt and Will rushing to her rescue (the ex calls him while he's in bed with Addie, AGAIN), I just wanted to pull my hair out. This guy is unfreakingbelievable. + +This is a dark and haunting book. It will not make you happy to read. Page by page, Scott shows us more sadism and mind control, how he makes Alice fear not just for her life, but for that of her family. How he controls every aspect of her life, from what she eats to where she goes. This is a disturbing book that utterly lives up to its name as Alice floats somewhere in between true life, her previous one, and the one Ray has made for her, where everything from her name to her clothes to her size has been altered, distorted, turned inside out. +After a while you feel like you are a part of their test kitchen team and you know what to suggest and why.

Employees, employers and public figures are re-evaluating how they manage their very public profiles on Facebook, with some pundits predicting that rather than people tending towards circumspect and professional Facebook profiles, society will just come to accept that Facebook will reveal certain aspects of our lives that we don't necessarily want public, and not judge too harshly. Even if you don't have a profile yourself, there is no way you can prevent others from posting photos of you, or revealing personal information about yourself (although one might question why said acquaintance is doing so) so perhaps a society that doesn't judge our drunken photos too harshly is more preferable to trying desperately to keep such things from the internet. + +Rapunzel + +5188 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Changed my life! + +Overall I absolutely loved this book.

She is found by Ray who takes her and for the next five years she has been his slave, having to endure repeated sexual abuse daily. Now despite starving her to keep her thin and underdeveloped, waxing to keep the appearance of youth, and hormones to prevent her from maturing, she has grown up and Ray doesn't like that.

She is a Living Dead Girl - dead inside and soon to be dead outside. + +Courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews ([...]) + + + + +5038 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As a child I eagerly awaited the yearly showing of the Judy Garland version of this classic story, not realizing there were more delightful tales available besides the main title. The author is a born storyteller, and I enjoyed the other 14 as well. + + + +I would buy a book two for anything under $5.00 (my usual kindle cap) without hesitation. +In Turin, where she joins Axel, Cass sees religious symbolism in common events, finding an ordinary breakfast a form of communion. Artworks, especially crucifixion scenes by artists from the various settings in which the novel takes place (Cranach, Bosch, Memling, and Van Eyck in the Low Countries; and Tintoretto, Mantegna, and Bellini in Italy) further develop the symbolism. Always present in the background, of course, is the Shroud of Turin, which may be the real burial cloth of Jesus--or may not be. Parallels and contrasts between Vander and Jesus abound. + + +I also had trouble digesting the names of the characters. The author used a close approximation to pretty much every single character from Pride and Prejudice. Janet for Jane, Chad for Charles and so on, even naming the company Pemberleo. This was way too cutesy. I think it might have been better to let the readers discover the parallels on their own. Another way that the story was spoon fed to us. + +It almost seemed to me that this was written by someone who really didn't have a grip on the original story, or who maybe heard it as a child only and never went farther than that. +**** +Meanwhile, the boy who was the ringleader in the rape case is found dead, and Walts got a murder investigation on his hands. +7777 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This author turns out his "Murders" stories with enthusiasm, humor, originality, offering good, fun reads to his fans with remarkable generosity.

He was so attracted to the h and when he planned to dump her, she dumped him first. The h was lovable but not spineless and I liked that the H was affectionate. A nice, enjoyable and quick Harlequin read. +So when he meets Tabitha, it's like he's almost single minded, but at same time, he wants nothing to do with her, because he knows what will happen if he involves himself in her life. +4) The gender issue. Hey, I'm a girl and I once was a teenager. I will admit at one point, all I cared about was getting a phone in my room. I was extremely shallow with my clothing, makeup, friends. So no surprise at some of the girls' behavior in this book. However, for ALL of them to be such sheep? The two girls who join the "inner circle" (the group in charge) admit that most of their acceptance by the guys is because they're the "girlfriends." and then the Chief blurts that fact out loud. Reaction? Nada. I think a few girls toss their hair and/or stomp off to pout. But that's really about it. Geez would it kill to have the girls actually gang up and retaliate a bit? +Before I dive into a deep though provoking, off topic tangent - the book. A girl just my age is walking her pup and is hit by a car and they both die - tragic, but she ends up in heaven and what a heaven it is! She is surrounded by all the things she wished and coveted while on earth plus more. BUT she has to write an essay about her ten best days and prove that she deserves to stay where she is. This is where the meat of the story unravels and you learn about her from her childhood to the day she dies. + + +8693 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The H in this book is wonderful and adores the h. This was a fun, sweet, light hearted romance with just a little angst in the end caused by some medical issues the h thought she had. Overall it was a great read. +Diamond posed questions fundamental to the experience of the human race. Why did wealth and power [among nations] become distributed as they now are, rather than in some other way? [W]hy did human development proceed at such different rates on different continents? [W]hy were Europeans, rather than Africans or Native Americans, the ones to end up with guns, the nastiest germs, and steel? In his award-winning book, Diamond posited a unified synthesisa unified field theory of history. Drawing from his wide-ranging knowledge of medicine, evolutionary biology, physiology, linguistics, and anthropology as well as geography, he surveyed the history of the past 13,000 years and identified plausible answers to the questions he had posed. In the process, he wrote what I consider to be the single most illuminating book on the history of the human race. + +I've reached the conclusion that Dominique Adair is a cruel woman - or maybe she just enjoys teasing us - in either case, she's definitely got me hooked with her JANE PORTER stories! These stories capture your attention from the very beginning, build your anticipation, engage your emotions - and then you discover that you'll have to wait for the next story to find out what happens next - and believe me, you'll want to know what happens next. These characters are highly memorable, the sex scenes are beyond hot and conversations are delightfully wicked. I've got a real fondness for Jane, Antonio and Santos, but I have to confess it's Lily and Jean Jacques battle of wills that really holds my attention and makes `angry sex' so very appealing. +~The Rebecca Review + +Horace and Halt's trip through Gallica (France) is an absolute blast. I love how these two characters play off each other, how Halt's conniving flies in the face of Horace's need for honor and fair play. The bit about the challenges of the various knights and the pack train of goods Horace accumulates as the results of his battles is magnificent. +So close to the border of Skandia they can almost feel safe again, Halt, Will, and Evanline, are Again stopped by Erak and a group of very angry Skandians. A border stop has been attacked, and all the guard killed with arrows. +1612 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 have read all of the "hawke" series and am waiting for the next one +This book is worth reading, but certainly does not live up to the hype and praise listed on the cover and front page. +Wolf Fang is owned by Slagor, a Skandian Skirl -- ship captain -- who had decided to sail south during a lull in the storms. He had hoped to take the best prizes while the other wolfships were awaiting the end of the season, but this was obviously an unwise decision. Slagor is not a very good captain, for he is foolish and a coward. His crew are petty criminals, who have joined him only for the wages and loot. +499 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another winner from Allison Brennan. This one was pretty intense. We learn a bit more about Jack Kincaid. What a ride. On to the next. +1508 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed the story. I have little knowledge of Judaism, but that was not necessary. Reva had grown up in a less restrictive Jewish religious atmosphere but with marriage to an orthodox Jew and with two boys, she embraced the tenants of her faith, with her whole heart and even as a widow, kept the faith. She lived in an tight knit community centered around a school, and was one of the few who had outside experience. When there was a brutal rape, she ended up being the one who worked best with the police. The sense of community and its isolation from the mainstream plays a large part in the story. Some of the locals are indifferent, some curious and some hostile to this community. There is mystery and even murder and hints at a blossoming love story. I found it a satisfying read. +6978 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Nice style of writing +This book is all straight talk - nothing flowery here. At times vulgar and crass, even a little shocking, it might make your eyes widen a few times, but at least it's with feeling. I particularly enjoyed the viewpoint given by Lola, Oscar's sister, as she rages with her dying mother, who is no less a controlling tyrant even when facing death. If I were to express one wish to Mr. Diaz, it would be to write a companion novel just about Lola. +7037 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 First in the Walt Longmire mystery series set in Durant, Wyoming and revolving around Walt, the sheriff, and those he considers friends. +6 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 ALMOST BEEN TOO LONG SINCE I READ IT. GOOD READ OR I WOULD NOT HAVE FINISHED IT +Although this book is part of a series featuring the character of Markhat, like the others, it can be read as a stand-alone. +1023 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Update: 7.25.2008 +7309 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Kit and Jesse are adorable. I loved this book. This series is great. I have this author on auto buy. I cannot wait for her next publication. + +2304 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Unless you are dying to read a JD Robb short story, don't buy this book. It is a hodge podge of non related advertisements for these authors. Two stories are exerpts from upcoming books. I found this very frustrating and unsatisfying. Skip it. + +gee, thanks amazon.. +1691 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It would be rather difficult for a person who is not familiar with archeological events to list the top ten great discoveries. That is why this book, Ten Discoveries that Rewrote History, by Patrick Hunt, is a great help. The author not only lists these discoveries for us but also points out their historical significance and the circumstances surrounding their discoveries. + + +Vincent has a nice writing style and this was a pretty intense story from the beginning. I immediately liked Kaylee and disliked her family, so the author did a great job there. The fantasy elements were very well done without being cheesy and it was refreshing to read a paranormal/urban fantasy that was a little off the beaten path. +8856 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As always this is great. + + +enough to give me a full refund and keep the book. I regret my negative feedback and wish to let + +oops, I mean, razor-sharp set of fangs. As an added bonus, her sight +4080 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Hello, this story was very different. The author did a good job of correlating legends of old with his version. Thanks and MERRY CHRISTMAS.. +8369 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I liked it quite a bit. I did have one major issue though. She repeatedly kept bringing up how beautiful his women have been over the years making her feel insecure about her looks and the amount of time they would actually be together. He could have completely cleared her mind if he would have just told what he told the reader, that of the 2 years she has worked for him, he has not been with another woman sexually for at least a year and a half. That would have let her know that those women were just set ups by his mom and that he only wants her. Another thing was her constantly thinking that his family would not approve even though they are nothing but nice to her and include her in everything. Also, the fact that he would not just tell her how he felt. He knew she thought some of their together time was work related and just kept laughing about her questions about notes instead of just saying we are on date. It was good in general though. +Can you become a believer if you don't repent of your sins? +It is of particular note the various punishments required for infractions of many of these laws. I covered the first 15 or so pages and I fear to tell you that had I lived at that time my life would have been rather short due to the fact that the death penalty seemed to be the main form of punishment...with drowning and burning being at the top of the list as to methodology. +7761 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Easy to identify with the characters, they're all my age, & a bit crazy. Look forward to more from this author. + + +Simplified, Marx is speaking of the root cause for industrial Capitalism...the steam engine, but that beginning of industrial Capitalism only exists to the extent of (1) the already existing industrial Capitalist division of labor that manufactured the component parts for the steam engine; (2) the already existing industrial Capitalist capital goods/intermediate goods industries that manufactured the constituent parts that went into the construction of the steam engine; (3) the already existing industrial Capitalist capital goods/intermediate goods industries that manufactured the machines that the steam engine powers; and (4) an already existing industrial Capitalist division of labor that manufactures those machines powered by the steam engine! +97 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 There's enough chauvinism in Frank Abagnale's criminal memoir to make you think it has to be true, because no editor would let that fly in a work of fiction. Abagnale is quick to admit that his primary motivation for getting into the check-scamming business (which began as a small time bit of credit-card fraud) was getting tail. But if life is unfair to women in this book, it's just as unfair to criminals, business-people, and ultimately to Frank Abagnale. + + +909 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love Fern Michaels books. This Sisterhood series is great. I REALLY LOVED the Kentucky and Vegas Series Better though. +That aside, I LOVED THIS BOOK. Call it a novel, a novella, or what-have-you, it was brilliantly written. It made me laugh out loud and by the end, had me in tears, and wishing I could find my own Will Fraser. +The beginning of the book.... I don't remember if the prologue, or the first chapter contained a lot of... background information? Something?... that for me - dragged a bit, but after that the story flowed... I read the book in one day... you can't go wrong with one of JG's books... +4683 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed reading this story and even went on the read the second and enjoyed that also. The scenes with the friends is great because it reminded me of times I've spent with friends during "ladies night out." +Jena, the MC, has some saving graces even though most of the time she also acts unbelievably dim-witted and weak for someone who is supposed to be strong & sensible. +6086 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 The beginning plot is terrific but as you keep reading you start to read and read and nothing happens. Every introduction to each new chapter is about 4 pages long and the thrilling part is roughly three lines. The book's end has one too many questions. So here are my questions: +3783 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Most reviewers just recap a book, same as the editors description does. Makes me wonder if they are paid reviewers instead of honest readers. I just liked this book a lot. In the first book, I thought the story was good and characters interesting while the writing was probably by a new inexperienced author. But each book has gotten better, the characters are developing and the wordsmiths skills are improving. It's as if the author's writing skills are growing as his characters are growing. This book adds delemmas that come with growing up in the interpersonal relationships of the main characters. Plus its a fun read! I can see the influence of some of my favorite legends like "The Green Knight" and other knight of the round table type tales. I am going to buy the paperbacks for my nephews and am going to go on with the series. I am really liking this series. +The Philadelphia law firm of Rosato and Associates will be familiar to those who have read Ms. Scottoline's previous novels. Bennie Rosato and Mary DiNunzio make appearances, but in this one Judy Carrier takes the lead role of Pigeon Tony's defense attorney against the wishes of Bennie, who is her boss. And just to further complicate issues, Judy falls in love with Pigeon Tony's grandson, Frank. +So, really wanted this book and it exceeds my espectations !! Wow !!! thanks so much Lisa !! +For the novel's first chapter, Baxter reworks and updates "Saul and Patsy Are Getting Comfortable in Michigan," which ended with an ambiguous car crash, leaving readers with no sign of whether or not the couple survived. In fact, they walk away more or less unscathed to build a home together and begin a family, gradually growing increasingly, if not perfectly, comfortable in their adopted hometown. + + +1501 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A mystery taking place in the heart of a Jewish community, lets the reader learn quite a bit about the way of life within this religious culture. In the midst of a rape and murder, Det Peter Decker finds himself drawn to the would be victim, Tina Lazarus, but different ways of life, get in the way of a developing relationship. The has an ample share of suspects and remains a mystery til the end. A good start for the series. +1523 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I recently discovered this series and, fortunately for me, happened upon the FIRST in the series. This was a fabulously fun read. It is set in the 80's, when people had to stop at a pay phone if they needed to make a call and bad guys were bad (not just misunderstood). I'm into this for the series, there appear to be 22 of them and I plan to read every one. +684 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Vampires in the Argeneau series aren't undead or a different race but they are humans. They are descendants of the people of Atlantis. The Atlantians were a very advanced race who tried to cure illness and inadvertently created "vampires". +http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525479295?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s03 + +8525 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Really enjoyed this book, couldn't put it down. Glad I read it. I recommend it for those who like romantic books. +Despite any misgivings I developed over time with Ms. Traviss' tendency to elevate the Mandalorians and demonize the Jedi in her writing, there is no denying that she was an exceptional Star Wars author. Her stories are distinct, hard-edged, and propel along much like the films themselves, even when they get heavy on dialogue vs. action. Boba Fett: A Practical Man is a distinct entity in the New Jedi Order and well worth a read: even better, it could be read by someone interested in Fett and his people without having to go further in the nineteen books that follow. +Dakota Cassidy is back with the 2nd book in her 'Accidentally' series, "Accidentally Dead". The same three heroines from her first book "The Accidental Werewolf" are back and this time it's nasty-tempered Nina's turn. After deciding selling makeup just wasn't her thing, Nina went to school and became a dental hygenist. Her first day on the job, one of the patients has a bad reaction to the anesthetic and BITES her. Two days later she wakes up with some wickedly long fangs! What to do, what to do? She calls her recently werewolfed friend, Marty, because, HEY, werewolves and vampires...close enough. So Marty, Nina, and Wanda (the only normal one left) decide to beard the vampire in his lair...er, something like that and off they go. +I enjoyed Rosalind's personality. She is very sensible and good-humored, even when dealing with trying circumstances. I loved the way she stood up to her step-mother-in-law, who was dreadful in a very satisfying way. You could tell she grew up among Sherbrookes. She had the Sherbrooke "voice". +I read "Cry Wolf" about a month ago, and at the time I was confused by the beginning. It felt like a whole chunk of the story had by-passed me somehow, and since "Cry Wolf" is the first book in the Alpha and Omega series, I wasn't sure what had happened. The answer is that Briggs wrote a prequel novella called "Alpha and Omega," which covers the critical period of Anna and Charles's first meeting, and her rescue from a twisted wolf pack. +Henry Standing Bear as Walt's best friend is there to assist him in finding the suspect. But Henry is also a suspect as he is related to the brutalized girl. + +The cover is just as disturbing as the book. I loved it. How messed up can a human being be? How can awful experiences change you, shape you? This book is for strong heart-ed people; but I don't have enough words to praise this book, it's just unbelievably amazing. I don't think you'll ever read anything so unforgettable. Definitely a must-read. +Dirk his entire life.

It's nice having them all together to read in this bundled set. Even the couple I never read before. +4681 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What a way to start the weekend! Sexy Gage struts his "stuff" for the girls to see. Little did we know he was hoping Hailey would catch the show and fall for him. He is a brave man to show it off just to get his girl. +Although Cherney ends up scaring the heck out of readers and teaching you to probably think twice before flipping off some little blue haired lady driving with her blinker on, his overall story is very real and likable. His everyday characters are believable, and as I've said, almost maybe a little too real. Anyone who has ever been stuck in traffic will probably think Cherney is a mind reader. He has highlighted something as everyday as road rage and used it to pen a nice psychological and entertaining thriller. Despite some minor editing problems, Red Asphalt is a joy ride to read. Buckle up! + +7870 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Just the thing to have on your e-reader when you need an Elder God fix or need to visit the Mountains of Madness! +Grade: A +9639 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 this was a good story line and a fast read .. love these kind of stories keep them coming please +2473 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Billy Bishop story is a first person account of WWI aerial warfare.

Charles Kuralt reads these stories and poems and it is beautifully done. It is a shame it has not been released on CD or digitally with his Emmy Award winning reading of these stories. If you still have the ability to play cassette tapes, get these and you and your kids will listen to them over and over again. +Rangers Apprentice Book 4: The Battle for Skandia +The characters are very well done. The reader feels as if they can picture each person as they are described. And most of the characters are people we may have met in real life. +4116 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is worth the money for another version of your Bible. It reads somewhere in between the NKJV and the KJV, but closer the the KJV. It's definetely worth adding to your array of literature in you Kindle collection. Amazon has made the price affordable for a concise publication of the "Word of God". You won't be disappointed. Oh and yes, Genesis is literal. Study and find out, It's time you knew the truth. + + +6868 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Having very much enjoyed the Longmire TV series, I started reading the books recently. What an easy-going style! Fortunately (or not, I can't decide) I see the actors from the series as I read the story, which is just fun for me! Love the way the story is constructed, the dialog, the character interaction...in fact, it's all good. Getting ready for #2 in the series. +8475 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great purchase. +2) So, teens will be teens. Referring to my comment #1, the sex between the teens, though slightly unsavory, is realistic in the end. Now, oddly enough, the premise for bringing them all together is the fact they were all attending an abstinence camp. Whizz goes the irony! sorry, though, there were no religious connotations at all in the book. Nor did these seem like your bunch of bad behaving kids sent to labour camp. Is there really, really such a thing as an abstinence camp that is not related to the church? Did the author just choose this setting for the irony? + + "The house looked as if it had never seen a coat of paint. The gray planks warped and strained against the rusty nails, which bled dark-red streaks from years of rain." Rather than telling the reader everything that is going to happen step by step, Steve Peek allows us to connect the dots and reveals his story through the actions of his characters. There was no extra fluff or poorly utilized space in this novel. + +4689 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 ~* 3.5 Stars *~ +7493 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Top notch, funny shifter romance. My first by this author, already picked up another. Sexy alphas, and wow Sheri was funny. Not one to miss, get ready for a good laugh and steamy too. +Allison Brennan does murder better than almost everyone writing in the romantic suspense genre does. She writes scintillating thrillers that keep you turning the pages until you breathlessly reach the conclusion. And then you want more. She is becoming one of my favorite authors. + + + +How will Nina handle the changes? Can she find a way back to being human? +This persona portrays Christ as a spiritual leader + + +This was another great read from Eve Vaughn. + +426 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 If you don't believe in Heaven or Hell...this should make you at least think you might be wrong. It was riveting. I read it aloud to my dyslexic friend in one afternoon after I read it and knew she would love it too. I saw an interview with Howard Storm on TV and his calm matter of fact attitude leads one to believe he really experienced what he wrote about. + +His baby, his bride...but his love isn't part of the bargain... +Devlin is visiting another town, looking for a place for he and his business partner to move their construction company to. He's sizing up the local werewolf pack, introducing himself so he can scope out the feasibility of moving here. What he finds is a ruthless pack Alpha who is abusing his Omega, a werewolf named Laine, and terrorizing the rest of the pack. One thing about werewolves.... they recognize their mate instantly, that special person that Fate has chosen for him, and the omega Laine is Devlin's mate. He quickly claims Laine as his, and now must work to dispatch the Alpha and remove him from his post so the town can be in peace again and he and his Laine can live happily ever after. + + What I found intriguing was how Horowitz managed to have a strong, independent female (Jane Fortune) at the heart of this book while still maintaining the mannered tone of an Austen novel, quite a feat to pull off. She does this by setting her tale in Boston, a city which still has its share of people who care about social class. She shows the subtle distinctions between those with old money and those who are newly wealthy, but does so with taste and a deft touch. Jane Fortune is one of those who come from old-money aristocracy but who is feeling more and more out of date, feeling that managing a trust fund and the family foundation may not be her life's goal. Her "charmed life" is beginning to feel more and more like a cage and not the Eden it used to be. She also misses the love of her life (who, thank goodness, is about to appear again). + +I have used the experimental web feature of the Kindle to secure news stories, and while that works also, it is more cumbersome, slower, takes more clicks of the wheel, and it not a neat and tidy as having active headlines 24/7 "pushed" to the device. + +Since it was taking me forever to get to the print version I had of this, I actually pulled it from the library on audio disk so I could listen to it on my daily commute. I quite liked the reading voice at first, since it seemed to match the character, but I discovered after several disks that I probably wouldn't want to spend much time with this character if all I ever got out of her was this flat, rather monotonic slightly southern twang which wasn't so peachy after a while. Nevertheless, I managed to listen all the way through which was more than I can say for several other audio books I've had to endure! +5838 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Michael Card gives us an inside look at the oft-overlooked Simon Peter. It's rare to read a book about Peter particularly from a Protestant perspective. Card focuses on Peter's emotional life. Card does a good job of getting readers to use their imagination to understand what Peter went through at key points. His insights on Holy Week are particularly profound. +Austen also had an interesting range of heroines -- quiet ones, melodramatic ones, intelligent ones, naive ones, and mildly spoiled ones who think they know best. But each one has a major character flaw that must be overcome before she can find true love and happiness And she has an equally fascinating range of love interests: quiet, shy older men, sexy clever ones, blunt ones, generous honest ones, and especially the smart, sexy Mr. Darcy (who has a flaw of his own to overcome alongside Lizzie). +I really enjoyed this book and I actually ended up liking this book better than Carnal Deceptions, book 1 in the series. Ryder is betrayed by his own family and put in jail for a crime he did not commit. Sadly, Jessie's family is just as deceitful. So, neither want to give their trust to another person after being so betrayed. Add to that Ryder's additions problems and it's not easy path for these two. However watching these two learn to trust while giving in to their explosive chemistry definitely made for an excellent and entertaining read. You won't regret getting this especially if you are a looking for a sizzling historical romance. + +There are plenty of other characters in the story too, most human. Both Marc and Blake fall for Rose as she is not just a pretty face but gains their respect for being such a good fighter. She is a strong independent individual and one of the leaders in her squad. This is new for Blake and it causes him to care for a human for the first time. This slowly changes him and makes him see things differently. He becomes a better person for it. For Rose the attraction is mutual and she has trouble coming to terms with being attracted to both of them. You're definitely left with the idea that Rose could be what Blake and Marc need to help bring them together and keep them together healing old wounds and bringing excitement and hope for their future. +5436 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 First, Frank Tuttle is certifiable, but in a good way. I've found myself saying, "This isn't my favorite genre" a lot lately. I discovered Frank on the Kindle Discussion boards and his posts were so hilarious that I just had to try his books. If you haven't read his blog, be warned: Do not have a beverage near your computer when you read the entry about the lawnmower. + + +8406 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book grabs you and doesn't let go. It's one of those books that you will enjoy enough to read again and to recommend to your friends. Don't miss it! +I eagerly await each new book by this author. A word of warning: have your tissues handy for this one. + + + + + +5774 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Kindle 2 Cookbook is a must have for new owners. It goes into specifics on many of the functions that the owners guide just mentions. I particularly liked the email, IM, and news section. + +This was a library find. (Well, my wife found it at the library and I sort of stole it from her) +I'm anxiously awaiting the opportunity to get onto the fourth book. But I'll wait because these stories are uniting our family in a lot of ways, and there's nothing better than a shared story! +But all in all, an interesting, action packed book with some different twists. It held my interest, and I enjoyed it. + +3. R.G. Alexander's steamy vampire/were/witch romance series: Regina in the Sun (Children of the Goddess) +And the boys are so busy with the new loft and work too.

It was a hot, steamy read for sure. + +Category: vampires, paranormal, 18+, series + + + + +9146 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I read my first Beth Kery book a few weeks ago, with this one being my fifth, and I can officially say that she has become my favorite romantica/erotica authors; if you like alpha heroes she's the writer for you, and no one writes hot and sizzling scenes like she does. I mean NO ONE. Makes me turn up the A.C. and dig out my fan, but oh does she make it worth it! ;-) *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* + +938 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a pretty good collection of the Grimm Fairy Tales. It was translated into pretty simple English. This is just a few of the Grimm's stories and there are a lot other books out there with more than just these stories. This was a good quick read of some of the Grimm Fairy Tales, and I would recommend it to someone who is looking for a quick read of a selection of the Grimm Tales. + +What I can tell anyone reading this review is that I don't think you'll be wasting your time (which is infinitely more precious than your money) in reading "Believe". If anything, you might find yourself actually smiling and feeling good at the end of this story. And it's not a bad thing if you find your eyes getting a little moist because someone manipulated your feelings in only the kindest way possible. +The inhabitants of Earth have also been delaying the karmic development cycle of lower lifeforms (animals, insects etc.) by repeatedly killing them for food. More spiritually advanced aliens from other dimensions are vegans who live peacefully with lower lifeforms. The aliens have decided to help people of Earth who want a change from the violence, corruption and lies of their Governments. They also plan to physically remove all people on Earth who are prone to violence and criminality and take them to planets where no elements exist to create nuclear devices. All Earth people, whether they stay or are removed, have to become vegan and are no longer allowed to kill animals for food. All Earth people are also modified to allow them to use yar so that they can begin to see each other and treat each other as spiritual beings. +The narrator Caroline Hunt has a pleasant voice, but the recording was hard to hear - as if too many low tones and not enough treble. At times I had to turn up the volume which was not a good solution. I don't know if the problem was her voice or the equipment used to record this. I downloaded the version with the best quality audio. + +9163 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a great author! Her books are suspenseful, good character, promote good charactor and good living, excellent sentence structure, promotes conservation. I have read most of her books and they are among my favorites. + +8329 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed watching the two main characters try to avoid each other while getting to know each other. Elizabeth Lennox does not fail to deliver again. + + +846 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As always every book in the sisterhood series is excellent +It is a testament to the O'Brynes that I enjoyed the story as much as I did despite having one of my number one literary pet peaves in it. This is when main characters are presented as more morally advanced than their peers because they adhere to normal modern civic mores. It comes through in little things like insisting on bathing regularly in a historical time period when hygiene was neither understood nor appreciated, or expecting fair labour (or gender) laws in what would otherwise be a feudal state. Express a desire to see change, sure, but surprise that others adhere to what would be the norm of the day, no. Like everyone else, the main characters would know no different. I generally find it smug and condescending, and Fayne's story is no exception. Despite this one major drawback for me, I really liked Budding Magic. +9223 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Even though I agree with the price being a little to high. But I enjoyed the book and I was glad the book was not to to long. I hope you like this book as much as I did. +9472 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another outstanding Vampire romance here with Lilith and Lincoln. Another great story line. I'm working my way through the entire Vampire Realm Romance series. I like the way she refers to previous characters and Vampire bloodlines and some even make an appearance in the later books as in this one. I highly recommend her books. No one can write a Vampire, Witch, Demon, Angel or Werewolf like Felicity Heaton can. You will not be disappointed. In fact, you will be sorry the book ended. +6650 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is one of those rare books that draws you in and keeps you, even if you don't normally read this type of story. The writing is poetic, yet simple enough to not be confusing, nor overly flowery. +Gordon Gerick, author, Bungling Angel and Adoption: Lost and Found +1324 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Field taught me that spiritual people of every age have been right in their intuition that all of us are inter-connected, linked to each other and the rest of creation. McTaggart's writing is easy to read but full of well-documented, cutting-edge science. Toward the end, I felt she gave too much attention to remote viewing, which is not, in my opinion, the most important aspect of her subject. Still, her clarity on the implications of quantum physics for philosophical, social, and medical thought makes her book shine. +305 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 A classic, must read. It makes no sense commenting on it today as it is too old to be valuable, but anyway here it comes: flawed from the beggining. It got a lot of things wrong. No wonder communist and socialism are complete failures, they make no sense whatsoever! +1. How much you like to read about torture is totally a personal decision. I don't like it all, and if it upsets you, either be warned and skip over a lot or don't read this book. +640 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the second book I've read and I'm loving the stories. The twists and turns keep you guessing often. +In her attempt to discover the truth about her own life--she has discovered that she is living her life in "inverted commas, as in going "home" to her "loving" husband, and having "sex"--she searches her memory, family lore, half remembered scenes from her childhood, and buried memories of her brother's sexual abuse at the hands of a family friend--and hints of repressed memories of her own abuse by that same friend. +------------------------------ +Reading through the Manifesto one can see the basis of a system which was not only an effective for mobilising political movements, but came to influence intellectual debate for the next century. There is also perhaps a sense of a naive optimism which could not contemplate the sorts of disasters which were to occur over the next hundred years. +I LEARN about new things almost every day on DailyKos. Think of the Kindle subscription as a portal into a much larger world. You will have to turn on the wireless to pursue links to online material, whether it's non-Kos sites or links to the "High Impact Diaries" and choice comments compiled by each day's "Rescue Rangers" (who monitor the universe so you don't have to). However, most of the day's best material is downloaded to your Kindle for off-line consumption, so you'll be able to read "Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-up" (a pointed, sometimes hilarious summation of what the media biggies have written that day) in the lead-lined hospital waiting room. If you want to follow links to the original articles, just turn on the wireless. +Remi gets Jake and his partner Rhys' help investigating his father. Remi's dad is a abusive and a total jerk. He wants to get Dirk(his dad) in jail and help save his younger brother and mother from his abusive grasp. Remi is like a father figure to Sterling. Remi is much older than his younger brother. His brother is only turned 15 at the end of this book. +4465 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Three days before her 10th birthday, Alice was taken by Ray. Now she is 15 and waiting for Ray to kill her. Unfortunately, Ray has a different plan- he wants Alice to find a new little girl to complete their family, a perfect little girl for him to love. Hollow inside from years of horrifying physical and sexual abuse, Alice can think only of being set free of Ray's incessant demands and twisted desires. +3917 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book is good and advances Langley's werewolf universe nicely. The characters that she created in "Without Reservations" appear and continue to develop, especially Jake and Remi. Langley made clear that they were intended mates in the previous book, but kept Remi from discovering that fact. He learns it early on here and Langley does a good job of developing a credible plotline for the two to become lovers and mates, and much more. I won't give any more away other than to say their relationship affects their wolfpack in ways that show Langley developing the "rules" and "facts of life" for her fictitious werewolves in ways that were not clear in either of her two previous works in this series. In fact, the reason I gave this book four stars instead of five is that in several ways, characters in earlier works were not consistent with some of the "rules" she brought out in this work. Also, the Remi we see (and become quite fond of) in detail in this book is consistent with the Remi we saw late in "Without Reservation," but does not seem like the same character who pitched a royal fit when he walked in on Chay and Keaton making love in the earlier work. That made me a bit uncomfortable in the last book, but it worries me more in this one. Still, both quibbles are minor, enough to downgrade slightly to four or four and a half stars (instead of five), but the characters are a delight, many interesting new ones introduced, a despicable villain introduced, and the way paved for at least one more (probably a whole series) of additional books in this universe. If you like Langley, you'll enjoy this book and should buy it. +1874 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Shroud, like other novels by John Banville, is beautifully written against a vividly limned background. The main character, Axel Vander, is conceited, obnoxious, and goes out of his way to offend the readers. He identifies himself as a masterly liar who lies about almost everything, even when there is no need and even when the plain truth will be so much more effective in maintaining the pretence. I will not be surprised at his unreliable narration, shameless boasting and impudent lies as he spatters out the tale of his life. + +Jordan Castillo's words pull me in from Page 1. We are again wrapped up and pulled in to the sexy world of Vic and Jacob. +7856 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I felt the book was very well written I was so engrossed in the book until I could not put it down and went to look for other books written by this author. It was a GOOD BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +What part of me did this book pique? I don't know-some part that responds to faith and hope. The narrator calls faith biological. Is it really? Is it caught up in the coding of what makes a person who she is? And do some people lack it? Do we need nothing more than the right words at the right time, or the wrong words at the wrong time to fill this biological urge? Is this the reason why some people believe in nonsense, because the wrong words filled them at the wrong moment? And is this why other people eschew faith, because it isn't in their biology? +6272 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This book is not particularly well written, and it is very slow. Many events are not described well, and there is no real plot. Good for reading before bed, to make yourself sleepy. +In fact, and unknown to Ricardian economists or Marx, industrial Capitalism couldn't have emerged without the conscious decision of nations to allow for the rise of interest rates to free market heights, abandoning low interest rates policies, such low interest rates policies making possible the Mercantilist pre-industrial Capitalist era. Only with higher, market-based, interest rates is it possible to accumulate the necessary large quantities of capital for industrial enterprise. + +9690 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Originally posted at [...] +6288 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As always, another good one! +5857 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've been reading so much popular fiction lately that it was nice to take a break by revisiting one of my favorite authors. This collection is a wonderful buy for Jane Austen fans, and I always enjoy curling up in front of the fire on a snowy day and pulling out these books. Bliss! + +The only thing I didn't like was the way the story dragged on in Will's half of the novel, which is what took one star out of the rating. Half the book to narrate sailing and slavery? Not the wisest decision. But I have to salute Flanagan's accurate description of seasickness and drug addiction, which I have experience with (the seasickness, not the drug thing). +This book, and her other award-winning novels, deal with life choices and the promise of unconditional love God offers. As I read this book I could feel the characters' struggles because I had similar ones. To relive my conversion again through Preacher's story was magnificent. I would absolutely recommend this book to everyone. +the Path of Devotion is prayer-centered. The Path of +Lissi is a 200+ year old vampire who still has to eat "off the hoof" or intravenously. Any time she sees any kind of blood it's 'goodnight Lissianna'. +Big mistake. Missing pasta, I tried the Fettuccine Girlfredo. I searched high and low for those darn shirataki noodles. Not living in an urban area, I was out of luck, and had to resort to online ordering. It ended up being very expensive. Ah well, I thought, if it satisfies my desire for fettuccine without a prohibitive amount of fat and calories, it'll be worth it. So I hopefully commence. +FINAL DECISION: I loved the relationship between Tansy and Kadan. They are in such need for love that it is beautiful to see them both blossom when they find one another. I dinged the book only because it is more violent than others in the series which is something that diminished my enjoyment. +But alas for romance. The _Analog_ space-drive articles petered out after the middle of 1962. The Dean drive came to naught. We never did discover a Tom Swift or a Dick Seaton. America won the space race, but it did so with conventional liquid fuel rockets rather than an FTL drive or repelatron fields. Still, Leinster's novel maintains a certain charm and quirkiness. It is one of his most entertaining and original works. +This was beautifully written with good character development and plot line.

That turned out not to be the case, although for me it was just incredible. +All you need on a blistering cold day is a hot cup of chocolate and a steaming hot book to cuddle up with. Enjoying the Show provides the steam with whipped cream on top. A total chick book with its quirky comedic parts: a group of women who put the ladies from Sex in the City to shame and a man even a grandmother would drool over. I found myself with an uncontrollable grin as I read how two beautiful people with less than stellar social graces came together for one fiery encounter after another. Marie Harte did an excellent job creating two characters, Gage and Hailey, you couldn't help but love as you laughed at their growing relationship. The added plus for this book is Gage's family; if only we all could grow up with such an eclectic and open mix. +Two negatives in my opinion: some gratuitous cursing; also I've read mysteries that are slightly more uniformly gripping, though I'd put this one in the top quartile for "grippingness". +4617 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 this book will touch your heart and soul - absolutely beautiful and haunting. the characters make you want to reach out and wipe their tears away +2198 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Old book, yet valid.

The fast paced action and charactors came alive the further I got into the book. When I reach the end all I could say was, "No, not yet." I wanted more. This is an excellent read. +It is hard to go thru it all over and review it. It was amazing in awful ways. +4405 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Abigail Reynolds' books are always a joy to read. This on is no exception. Treat your and buy this book. +3071 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 It just wasn't my cup of tea. I am not a D&D type person and I feel bad giving this a bad rating but a personal rating was that I truly didn't care for it. + +9995 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely loved this story!! It was funny, it was very sexy, it was sad and above all it was a wonderful love story. Even though I read it out of sequence of the other I-Team books, it made no difference. The only advantage of having read at least the first book, in the series, is that some of the characters will be familiar, making it more fun. +6416 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is my 3rd book I read by Brenda Jackson. It really was a good book to read. It took me a week & a few days to finish it. The only thing that made me not like it too much was I don't really like books with different stories in it. I liked all the stories but I enjoyed some more than the others. +2534 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I pre-ordered this book and really was looking forward to it. However, it appears to be written for "women only". My husband and teenaged son eat heartier meals than anything in this book provides for. BTW, the brownies are awful. Just as another reader says, all I can taste is the pumpkin. They don't even smell good when cooking, unless you like pumpkin pie!

It has a nice twist that is not too common - two alpha werewolves attracted, rather than the standard dominant/submissive. However, after finishing it, I was torn over whether to give it three stars or four. Three because it left me sad, despite the HEA. Four because it was so well written. +916 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 For those who haven't yet read the Grimm's Tales but have only heard about them, please take time to sit down and see what the age of fairy tale telling produced in its early days. From these we have the basis for many modern day tales that are written. +5859 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have read and reread these books over and over and it never loses it's specialness. I only wish it was easier to navigate through the kindle but still a great value! +5641 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed reading about these 3 sisters.

Although a good start, you will have to purchase several other books to get the whole story. +The writing style was exactly what I have come to expect from Mr. Konrath. Not only is his prose concise and well-structured, but he has truly mastered the art of the short story. +2113 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 loved how this story developed. Very good character development and romance. I will look for more stories from this author to read in the near future. + +Deepaks' views on Negativity and Guilt are also inspiring, as is his interpretation of an alternate meaning of the practice of Meditation. + +I enjoyed the Jack Daniels stories the most; but most of the others were good reading, too. + + +5365 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 It was a short ok read.

Summary of a complex topic in a way that many can follow without a detailed background. Makes me want to find additional related sources. The outcome may be a greater grasp of history plus insight into the future. +8988 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The first half of this story reads like an early Greg Egan, posing questions on topic ranging from the nature of our experiences, ethics of euthanasia to politics of drug control. Despite some part of exposition being somewhat flat, mostly delivered through monologues, the reader does get drawn into considering those problems*. The end, sadly, devolves into a plain vanilla cloak and dagger story of megalomania and corporate greed, but does leave the protagonist, and the reader with him, with a tough if a touch contrived dilemma at the end. +And of course over a series of books Chandler expanded the Marlowe character, expanded his range of emotions, detailed his growing world-weariness, his growing wariness, his small compromises with that code of honor that he honed back in the 1930s. Yes, Marlowe the loner, the avenging angel , the righter of wrongs, maybe little wrongs but wrongs in this wicked old world. The guy who sometimes had to dig deep in his office desk drawer to grab a shot or six of whiskey to help him think things through. Marlowe the guy of a thousand punches, the guy of a hundred knocks on the head, the guy who had taken a more than one slug for the cause, the guy who was every insurance company's nightmare and a guy who could have used some Obamacare health insurance no questions asked . Yah, Marlowe. +2960 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love this series. It's full of fun and adventure. You cheer Yelena on the entire time and it's great to see what happens next.

Unfortunatey, it was quite boring; typical love relationship; anti-climactic. Had to force myself to finish reading it. Can't believe there is a whole series of these books. If you want a good thrilling joy ride with well-developed characters and interesting plot twists, get the Pines series! +7182 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The best meals are led off with a tasty appetizer that makes you salivate for the rest of the meal. Dominique Adair serves up the first course of the Jane Porter series in high style. Adair's stock-in-trade is taking the risks that end up being the leading edge of innovation in the world of erotica, and this series is no exception. Is it risky to build the sexual tension to a screaming peak and leave the reader scrambling to get the next installment? Sure it is. But trust me, the payoff is so worth it! +2224 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great read, would gladly recommend +9694 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The book was very imaginatively written and gave a good description of alien life in a parallel dimension. The beginning of the book did drag a little as the author spent a little too much time on the minutiae of daily alien existence before getting to the meat of the story. The description of the alien's technology and their ability to project their inner power (yar) to sense and control the world around them is fascinating. Also fascinating was the description of this world we live in from an Alien's perspective. There are a lot of spiritual and progressive concepts in this book as well as enlightened ideas about how we should treat each other and treat the world we live in. +The thing I love about Halt is that he will find ways to get things done without breaking his code of honor. That makes him the best of friends and yet the most implacable of enemies. He will let nothing stand in his way - not even duty or a friend. I felt badly for him when he had to stand before the King, his friend, and be judged for his actions, but at the same time I was proud of him. That's the true sign of a writer bringing a character to life. In my mind, Halt lives. + +laugh-out-loud, do-not-put-down-till-you-finish-reading-it book. Her +1637 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent book. Second I've read by this author. His characters seem very real and his plots well thought out and written. I plan to read other books by him. +I finally got around to reading A Quick Bite. I am hooked now on this series. This vampire paranormal romance was a good mix of danger, sexual attraction, and humor. I especially enjoyed how the characters got to know one another as people before getting into bed together or professing their love for one another. +Chapters 5 and 6 deal with why gods and spirits matter and, in particular, why the religions based on them always have something to say about death and the afterlife; and in the next chapters how we come to create rituals and dogma within religions. +So, if you can live with the price and restrictions of DRM then go for it my friend. +If you want a book that's sure to make you blush for the best reasons, you need to read Hot Ticket. I give this book 4.5 cherries. + +by Linda Wisniewski +Saul Bernstein, a Jewish history teacher originally from Baltimore, and Patsy Carlson, a dancer from Chicago, have recently moved to the town of Five Oaks, Michigan --- one of the many "dusty, luckless midwestern cities tucked away inside the folds of the map" --- out of Saul's youthful idealism: he wants to bring high education to the plains of rural America, to reverse the simpleness of middle-class life. It's an unrealistic, outsized, almost elitist dream, but it's also one of the few things about which he feels sincerely. Yet, as a well-educated Jew in a small midwestern town, he feels hopelessly out of place and unable to relate to his students or even his neighbors. +And so the fun begins. +But always his writing is both an exhilaration and a challenge. Whether you will enjoy it or not depends upon your tolerance for Spanish slang and ubiquitous sexuality. The reward is getting to know a slice of history, a vibrant immigrant culture, and a hero who, for all his faults, still manages to arouse our sympathy. +3101 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thoroughly enjoyed Shoe Addicts Annonymous but found Secrets of a shoes addict much more funny! I laughed outloud several times during this book! I found myself relating with all of the different characters and what they were going though. I myslef am going through a seperation right now (as is one of the main characters) and this book gave me a great distraction and something to laugh about! I recommend this to anyone, even if you haven't already read Shoe Addicts Annonymous first (although read that one too!). +Remember, Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth despite her poorly-behaved family. No matter how lusty he may feel, she is going to be Mistress of Pemberley and his sister's mentor. Behaving like a wanton is not going to raise her in his opinion, Ms. Reynolds' facile explanations notwithstanding. Darcy is proud of his social status (and it isn't invulnerable, no matter what Austen imitators like to think). Want to see a smart, proud man act stupid? Here's your chance, right this way, folks! +2992 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Jack, a reporter for a major newspaper, receives an email purporting to be from a being from another planet. Jack responds, not knowing if the email is genuine or a hoax, and a correspondence begins between Jack and the entity named Alyadille. +Shreve is one of those rare great authors who is equally at ease writing about any period. One sees the clothes, the furniture and the architecture in lively, captivating detail. Even in sharing his want, Shreve shows the reserve appropriate of the time: "Had it been at all within the realm of possibility, I would have crossed the distance between us and forced her face to mine. I would have dug my hand into the small of her back so that she was pressed hard against me. I would have lifted her skirts and run my hand along her thigh and tucked my fingers into her stocking. I would have done all those things, and perhaps she saw this, for she drew herself together in an instant, as if she had plunged her wrists into icy water. Of course, I did nothing, but I cannot help but wonder what might have happened between us had I been bold enough to touch her then." Such restraint is palpably evident throughout the book --- and rightly so. It is the tenor of the time and Shreve is a master of time. + +4634 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Philip Hutton is half British, half Chinese and fits in nowhere. In this conflicted state he meets and becomes enthralled by a Japanese Aikido master. In Malaya in the 19540s, the Japanese were despised and distrusted. So when Philip becomes Endo-san's devoted pupil, he brings yet another conflict into his life. +As an aside, I went looking for Call me Joe as another review had mentioned it, and as that reviewer stated they couldn't find it in Kindle format. Well as I say, I went looking for it as well and had no success. There was a second hand paperback version for $32.00 but no e-copy on Amazon. + +6256 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I read the short-story prequel and really liked it; I couldn't wait to start this series. + +Through much of the book it isn't clear where the story is going - what is Mia's ultimate goal? Compare this to a typical mystery, thriller, or romance where that goal is obvious early in the book. With New Coastal Times you're guessing as Mia aims at a series of intermediate goals. Initially it is to survive and reunite with her husband. As each goal is met Mia aims for something a little bit better. In retrospect, the logical story arc takes Mia to a point at which she settles in a life as comfortable as she can find given the circumstances of the vastly changed world. In the beginning, what that is or will be is a mystery to Mia, just as it will be to the reader. We have to discover what that is along with her. + +6941 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great! +9405 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed the book very much as I am into Lesbian writing and love the stories.

The only thing that I didn't really like was Remi's submission to Jake: it was pretty hot to read, but I think it was overdone sometimes, the way they switched to the sub/dom mode wasn't always smooth, but it's really a preference of mine and it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. +3413 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I like the series, but the Lainey character is just TOO out and about for me....waaay too much of a clutz..lol +might become of it is even stronger! +8540 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book wasn't bad.

It was very well written and an easy read. Monk's other book The Invention of Wings, I enjoyed more. Both books deal with the relationships of Blacks and Whites in the early and mid part of the 1900. Both are well worth reading. ( my wife's review) +In this novel, Will is an apprentice Ranger from Araluen. He is just now recovering from his addiction to warmweed in a cabin within the foothills.

You will never get better financial advice. You will see, for once, light at the end of the tunnel of debt. And if you follow his instructions and stick to them, you will never have to drown in debt again. It won't be easy to do, but if you're sick of debt and sick of not ever knowing where your money went paycheck after paycheck, it will all be worth it to you. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme, either. It's all basically just common sense. But if you have bad spending habits, you will have to change them. That may seem impossible, but this book makes you WANT to change them. It makes you see how much money you've thrown away in the past, and you'll become determined not to throw any more away. +There is much obvious tension as all these details of who is really married to Sophie, who is going to keep the title and property and most important of all whom will Sophie stay with. She has always been the peacemaker between the two of them and she is not good with conflict. But conflict is the least of her issues as she sees the two men she loves so much tearing each other apart emotionally as well as physically. She has to make a decision and while not pleasant it is necessary for their salvation but one of the men in her life has to leave. +6644 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Initially from the prologue this seems to be a science fiction story about alien invasion however that is really a clever ploy to set the scene where a mountain community is stranded and have to survive with only their own resources. Unlike most "survival / stranded / desert island" stories because of how this is set up civilisation for this mountain community is not destroyed so they have the resources that are there and do not have to build from scratch exactly. Initially the story is set in a teenagers' camp with no adults where a resourceful 13 year old becomes "chief" and leads the camp through a number of adversities. The story is simply written and the problems encountered are too easily overcome but all of the characters and locations are well described so that I can visualise them. Although there is some killing it is not too graphic. I thoroughly enjoyed the book even though there were little twists to the plot it all held together very well and perhaps because the problems were easily overcome it had a feel good factor that is rare these days. +3494 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Maggie Shayne intertwines people in such a way it captivates you.

We each think of things differently and the Feldhahn's have done the research for you and have made it easy for you to finally understand a woman's way of thinking. It is a great book for every man who is having trouble understanding women and it will give you interesting insights into a woman's thought pattern. +I won't talk about police procedures, I'm not an expert. But I am a librarian--and just a quick look and I could find out that Illinois uses States Attorneys not district attorneys. Checked with a relative who served on another city's force and he said (like Wilson) that Sam would be answering to a captain or a lieutenant rather than a sergeant. I'm sure a few more hours would find more holes in the research. +And here is the most amazing part: some of the characters followed are insects, some are werewolves (sort of), some are regular people, and others are people with special powers of awareness. Yes - insects. Steve Peek takes you into the minds and inner workings of a species of insects he's created. And he does it well. +Lauren Dane will have readers smiling with this delightful tale of hope and promise. TO DO LIST captures Belle's single-minded pursuit of her dreams and her lists with humor and a little sadness. There's no doubt that she's well on her way to acquiring her goal, but she also realizes that it isn't worth giving up her `real' life to achieve and accepting that she isn't going to get to cross that goal off her list is difficult to accept. Rafe is willing to accept Belle exactly as she is - organized shoes and all - but he's also aware that the path she's on is a destructive and lonely one. Rather than try to tell her what she should do he presents her with feasible options which may make her happier. I had a great time reading TO DO LIST especially since I'm guilty of making these infamous lists myself. I loved the family aspect of this story and the way it makes you see that there are more important things in life than reaching every goal you set for yourself - there's health, family, love, and your own happiness. +Gregori is hot, funny and a vampire. He turned Nina by accident, and now he has to deal with her. He doesn't like her at all, and I liked that, because it was different from the usual. He hated her foul-mouth and her attitude, but he feels responsible of her. Of course she doesn't want his help, and their relationship was very difficult to start (several chapters). They obviously started to like each other, but both were so stubborn. That made the romance it this book slower, but don't get me wrong, it was still hot, and they do get their "happily ever after". + +2121 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I just couldn't believe this book. It was so hot. I wanted myself a Renegade Indian. Geez amazingly hot and sexy book. +7705 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Fun from start to finish...you will enjoy this main character as I did. I really liked the writing style and it was fun....I did not want to put it down. +This story has sooooo much more-I don't have room to put it all in! + +See No Evil: 5.00: +BFN Greggorio! +8674 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Good book +791 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I was looking for charts but it was just a little snippet of headlines and top stories - nothing at all like the paper itself. Didn't get no satisfaction. +you know when your in line somewhere +I found Seventh Circle to be very exciting. Although I liked the Prophecy Trilogy very much I liked this one even better. I cannot say anything about Heaton I have not said before. She is an amazing storyteller. One aspect that I really enjoy about the series is that the vampires do not cater to the human race. They are driven to survive, and that means there is no guilt over the kill. They have the ability to mate and love, but their species is not sugar coated. +For example, Levin is trying to show with this book that there is a long-term conspiracy of liberalism that has been slowly forging opportunities for itself in the process of applying the Constitution to the cases before it so that there would be precedent to back what Levin calls unConstitutional decisions like in Roe vs. Wade. Levin pushes a good case to look further (personally) into the basis of that and other decisions and if they do have Constitutional basis, but Levin instead goes into a history lesson of the decisions that predicated decisions like Roe vs. Wade with the assumption that every opportunity opened in previous decisions regarding things like the right to privacy was in fact the doing of a long-term liberal plan to open the doors of power for an activist court. Certainly, legal cases are often made on the grounds of precedent, but instead of revealing the focus on precedent rather than the Constitution as a problem in the deliberations of the Supreme Court, Levin tries to turn the problem into an unsupportable conspiracy that comes across on the edge of paranoia rather than sound, unbiased reason. And when Levin starts out the book stating that the justices should be treated as humans rather than gods, he wants to convey the idea that their actions may be questioned, but will not acknowledge himself that the history of precedents may also be the mistakes of the same human beings whom he does not want us to deify. +5483 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As usual Lynne Graham weaves and excellent tale. I have read many of her books and have enjoyed every one. +4571 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Yes I finally finished this book. It took forever because it was so painful to read. I LOVED the first book in this series. It was charming and quirky. I was sooo looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I eagerly awaited them from my local library. This book was a HUGE disappointment. + +The entries on the NYT latest news are just enough info to let me know what is going on. If I want something more in depth, I can go look it up later on my computer or buy a whole edition of a paper. This is an extremely good value and I recommend it to all of my friends who are Kindle owners (I even recommend it to Kindle owners I don't like). +Up Pops the Devil, is a realistic story of God's love and our choices. +I definitely felt for the lonely child so caught up in her parents dramas, though I thought the book itself could have been more tightly edited. It does get repetitive in places, and seemingly builds toward narrative peaks that then somehow are revealed as only plateaus. I also didn't appreciate Mascia's moments of self-loathing when she speaks of wearing size 14/16 pants; it was off-putting and didn't seem to fit into the narrative. +- metallic ink on jacket +25 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a terrific period novel by the author, and she very capably captures the social mores and customs of the times. Dealing with desire and obsession, secrets and betrayal, the book certainly delivers a rich reading experience that will keep the reader riveted to its pages. +I highly recommend this book and all of Ramsey's products to anyone needing a financial makeover. +There are issues in the book with which I disagree with Mr. Levin. For example, he seemed to be contradictory in his commentary on Korematsu v. U.S. A main contention of the book is the problems with judicial activism and the Court not deferring to the Executive in areas in which it should. Then he cited Korematsu, which was essentially a case where the Court did defer to FDR regarding the internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry during WWII. I think that internment was terrible, but I do not think that this decision was judicial activism. It certainly seemed to be a case of deferring to the Executive. +8580 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 OK there is a disturbing trend starting to develop. In the 8th book in the series, her own dog Rusty was violently injured. Now in this 9th book, her clients cat was murdered. This animal cruelty trend is very ugly and not needed. I hope the author stops the animal cruelty and killing in her books or I shall stop reading everything by her. + +Also good "what ifs" and/or continuations of P&P are those by Kara Louise, Susan Adriani, and Pamela Aidan. Linda Berdoll has written 2 very saucy books that continue the P&P story. Her first, Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife, I started reading several years ago when I was a JA purist. I didn't finish it because I thought it was too smutty. I recently read it all and enjoyed it. I read it with the mind frame of something Moll Flanders-esque. +5943 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I tripped over this novella and only read it because I love Briggs' Mercy Thompson books. Wow. I put it down, thought about it, and re-read it. Anna and Charles have become two of my favorite characters in the Marrok's world! Anna lives and breathes from the first page, where she's walking home from a dead end job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant on Thanksgiving Day! By the time she's home and reading a news article about a missing boy, a boy she knows was changed without his consent and sold to a laboratory, her character is revealed in spades. She picks up the phone and calls the Marrok's number, knowing he will do something about it, also knowing that if her Alpha finds out she told, he'll kill her - or worse. Then there is her first meeting with Charles, the Marrok's son and enforcer, at the airport! It's a scene you will never forget! It's the start of the most unlikely - and the most tender love story, that I've ever read! By the way, Science Fiction Book Club had an edition called ALPHA AND OMEGA which starts with this novella and includes the next three full length novels. You can also find it second hand on-line, or all of them are on Kindle. Just don't miss it! It's that good! +2438 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It really was not fair, I was (am) enjoying a novel, I pick this book up (it looked so lonely sitting on a table in our den, I am such a sucker) read the Prologue then was unwilling to return to the novel until I had finished reading the remainder of this book. The story of how Sara Miles, Granddaughter of Christian Missionaries, daughter of avowed Atheists, Liberal-war correspondent-activist-homosexual-Atheist herself went into a church, took Communion and could not stop what that meal did for/to her is a one that is difficult to be halted once the telling of it has begun. +4299 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent classic. +6341 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Interesting how the sisters are all different, just like real life. I have three daughter's and they are all different. + +The formatting was of professional quality. +1154 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 An artifact of the Reformation era, the D-R was once the standard Roman Bible in English. It has its awkward phrasing, its foundering vagaries in some passages. It was meant to provide English speaking Catholic scholars with their own accessible translation, but unlike the Anglican Authorized Version (the King James, as we know it) its lumbering pace quickly dated it for its users. + +Hero: 5 stars + +9479 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 i loved it i only have one complaint i wish it was longer and i want serena and lynx to have a love story. +Every once in a while I come across a story that is nothing less than pure pleasure to read. Tamed is such a book for me. It's a dynamite package of sizzling-hot eroticism and tender romance that grabbed me from the start and didn't let go. +7969 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another great book and series from Mandy. I loved how this story played out and can't wait to read the next book. This book will keep you reading till the end and wanting more. You have shifters finding their mates in unusual ways. + +The protagonist of this series is Anna Latham, recently changed werewolf. Anna is terrorized within her pack, she was changed against her will and has been subsequently brutalized and lorded over by the other dominants. When she realizes that her pack is breaking the rules set-up by the Marrock (the reigning leader of the North American werewolves) she makes a phone call to the leader and her world is changed forever. +3019 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Nick is every woman's dream - sexy, rugged, sensual- and Lacy is a true sweetheart. Great steamy scenes along with a great plot. +9433 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Carefree and making their way across Europe, Peter and Anne meet a group of locals in Amsterdam willing to show them around to the various sites and galleries. Finding their guides fun and engaging, they agree to accompany them to their home in the outskirts of town and enjoy dinner, desert, and new guests who arrive during their stay. As the alcohol flows and the night drags on, Peter and Anne agree to spend the night in the Amsterdam couple's old windmill recently converted to a guest bedroom. After a restful and relaxing sleep, the young couple make their way to their guests house to help clean up and start breakfast. Inside, they find their hosts brutally slain bodies. What follows is a harrowing escape from Europe that will not only change their lives, but the course of the world. +1494 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love this series! Unfortunately I've not read them in order, but I am always guaranteed an enjoyable read. Faye Kellerman is definitely a favorite! + +Sadly, It suffers from 1 slight problem. The characters felt a tad flat. They were well rounded enough for the purposes of the story but when you actually think about it they don't have much depth to them. Mating is all that seems to matter to them. Not to mention that the male character doesn't go through any growth, character-wise, in the story. But, as I said, because this story doesn't actually need to go to those lengths to make it's point, the characters are good enough. +793 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is an ebook and is a good read, but why not just include with one of the new Jedi Order books as a supplement??? It is fun to read it on my Kindle, but still the same it could have been added to several of the New Jedi Order series............. + + + + +8958 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Unbridled takes place in Texas, in a town that is amusingly called Two Mule. This well written novella is full of details. The characters are all true ranching Texans. Dani is a believable character, that is easy to like. The men in this book are sexy cowboys through and through. Rowe is a hard worker while Justin was always a hard player. The differences make each one appealing in their own way. The sex scenes are very erotic. This is not the story of a traditional love, but it is just as strong and romantic. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes hot Texans! - Ammie +His delivery is that of a stern coach, much like his radio show, which I found slightly off-putting. Only slightly though because his advice is much-needed. Dave Ramsey has helped countless people and inspired many more. I hope this book finds its way to others who need it still. + +2732 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 good series, liked it a lot, good read and its enjoyable and nice. highly would suggest that you read these books +Why I selected this book: I'd often heard good things about the author, and occasionally saw posts from him on various message boards. [...], I knew the time had come to give this author a shot. What in the dickens choice did I have? + + + +8758 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love this series, but I can't say I really "enjoyed" this story. However, it is absolutely the finest portrayal of the dense male I've read in a long time. This guy doesn't get the concept of "Actions speak louder than words," or that maybe if your mate and all of your loyal friends tell you you're making a few mistakes you should listen to them. But nope, not our hero. He just doesn't comprehend why everyone doesn't just accept how absolutely right he is about everything. For someone chosen to be a member of an elite shifter version of Special Forces, this lack of judgment seems like a major liability. +Risking it all, Tori agrees to let Michael take her neck and lead her on a journey through a world of bondage, domination and blood to stop the killer. But can she resist the dark lusts he sparks? Or will her weakness get someone else killed? + + +1405 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is so good ~ it is in my reread section of the library +There is also a sweet romance woven through this book. I didn't feel like it was the main focus, but the back and forth between these characters is so natural you can't help but be swept away by it. When it looks like there is no way they can ever be together, you ache with Aislinn. +4619 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I can't express how much I loved this book. It is most certainly not for everyone but if you give it a chance, you'll find great beauty in it. It is about a young mixed race boy in Malaysia right before WWII. Then the Japanese invade Malaysia and it shows how horrible war, all war, is and how many innocent people are affected. Like now in the Middle East. +The facts of the story are a mysterious set of papers and a couple of buried keys belonging to a 16th century alchemist. Hot on the trail are modern fundamentalist Christians who believe the papers hold the secret of the exact date and time of the 'Rapture' and a heart surgeon's family to whom the keys and papers have been passed down for 17 generations. Complicating the search is the surgeon's involvement with a transplant patient who received his dead brother's heart and the brother's fiance and best friend. References to cell memory, windows between the 16th and 21st centuries, numerology, astrology, British history, the Masons and Rosicrucians make this a very different and interesting story, indeed. + +All in all this is a wonderful romantic suspense novel. This is the first 5 star rating I've given a book in a long while, if ever and it is well deserved. +5. Division of labor, then, is the first phase of economic evolution as well as of intellectual development: our point of departure is true as regards both man and things, and the progress of our exposition is in no wise arbitrary.

I'm rereading them again because a new one is coming out and I always start from the beginning and reread each one. I LOVE them. + +Originally posted at [...] +5293 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I recently started listening to Dave's Podcasts and this book provides his outline for getting your way out of debt, why you need to do it and what the benefit's of doing so will be to you and your family. If you like Dave, but haven't read his books, you should get it. If you have financial problems and need help, I highly recommend this book. Some of this is stuff you may know, but Dave uses real life examples of folks who have transformed their lives - providing inspiration and a sense that you're not alone. He's also been there before so he's not theorizing. Dave provides a simple road map (baby steps) to starting and getting (and staying) out of debt. Just like his show, he uses plain spoken language and pulls no punches. Well worth the time & money. +9419 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Great little read. Really enjoyed this book lots of great little details that made the story really good. Enjoy the book! +4. Nothing That Ever Came To Anything - A botched deal between London and a fellow that didn't deliver the goods but wanted a `gift' in return. London did the right thing (4 stars). +Recommended 4 stars. +3805 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 After the events in the previous book, Will and Evanlyn have been kidnapped and taken to Skandia. And Will's mentor Halt has sworn to rescue them, no matter what it takes. +5738 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Just the right mix of old and new and breezy pace that makes bedtime reading easy. Great for Sherlock Holmes fans. +I don't know that I would have expected Darcy to host his servant's son's wedding breakfast in his home - that seemed just "over-the-top". Having him do such in response to Aunt Catherine's reprimand about visiting his tenants and entering their homes, serves as a "reason" that he did it but this is a stretch. There could have been a different approach to showing a change but I am not the author. +5562 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Having previously read Shanti's book For Women Only about men, I was interested in what she and her husband had to say about women. Women, you NEED to get your husbands/boyfriends to read this book. I would even go as far to suggest you read it too. It is awesome and funny!! Jeff tells it like it is and lays everything out in an easy-to-read manner. Their research is extensive and their surveys were done by a professional team of analysts. Even though it is written primarily for men, I learned a lot on why I think the way to do and that I'm not alone. I would suggest everyone engaged to be married read this book during their pre-marital counseling. It could save a lot of marriages and couples a lot of grief. + +- Lots of fun, accepting secondary characters. Jake's pack is awesome; I really enjoyed reading about their camaraderie and their loyalty to each other. +Additionally, I very much look forward to reading the other 5 novellas containing the exploits and romantic conquests of the other members of the "Archangels." The injury each member sustained during their covert operations during the Napoleonic war should make their quest to find suitable or pliable mates even more intriguing. Enjoy!! + + +7659 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A good start on a series that will be as heart wrenching as other books that James Somers has written. Can't wait for the next book in this series. + + + The movie is worth viewing too. But, as the author reveals in an interview at the end of the book, the film is not completely accurate and is "Hollywoodized" in certain scenes. Abagnale, according to himself, actually conned more people, banks, airlines, and ladies than the film portrays. At the completion of this book I felt not only better prepared to become a con-artist myself, but to also aid in their capture as well. +The Four Pillars of Investing: Lessons for Building a Winning Portfolio +Lastly, I've noticed that in the three Winton books I've read that Winton seems to idolize children, almost in a mythological way. That's not a bad thing, but it just seems that the children in his books develop almost a fairy like quality of mystery and perfection +3) Dialog. The majority of it was painfully awkward and provided little more than a parroting of information the reader already knows. +2476 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Nice telling of what it must have been like for fighter pilots in the first world war. I would recommend Eddie Rickenbacker's autobiography as well as Manfred Von Richtofen's autobiography for even more insight into WWI aviation . +9505 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Has a great plot and is hard to put down. Not a lot of aviation mysteries out there and this plot has lotsa' tailspins, loops and hard landings. Characters believable and a surprising ending.... +8113 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Warning - this book is only about 60 pages long! Unfortunately it reads that way too, incredibly rushed with no insight into the characters at all. The parts that were supposed to be steamy were just plain boring. Don't waste your $2.66 on this one!! +7800 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 SPOILERS IN THE REVIEW +Some times I got frustrated and annoyed because I felt that Alicia should've had said something. And the people around her? Yes, we are like that, we see a kid on the street and we don't ask anything because we don't want to get involved. After reading this book I'm ready to not take appearances for granted anymore. +1905 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this series. The books are fast paced without a lot of extra fluff. I highly recommend them. + + + +Veronica's first-person narrative jumps around over four generations. The earliest passages tell how her grandmother Ada may have met her future husband; the latest ones extend some months beyond the funeral, and relate to her own family life with a college-lecturer husband and two daughters. Several things gradually become clear. First, that much of what Veronica narrates as fact may be misremembered, reconstructed, or the wholesale products of her imagination. Second, that her main concern is to trace the causes of her brother's failures, which we begin to recognize even through the glow of her fierce love for him. And third, that Veronica herself is also in trouble, struggling with a crisis in her own life and marriage, that only the act of writing may help her to resolve. +5367 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Loved this take on Beauty and the Beast. It was a one-shot deal and I liked that the hero was saved by his beauty. Great steamy scenes I have come to appreciate from Ms. V. As long as she has interesting stories to tell, I'll keep buying her books! a great quick read. + + +For me, the allegory is too plain here. It isn't preachy yet, but I suspect it might become that way before the series is finished. Of course, this makes me want to check out the next book to see if I'm right. +a122500@gmail.com + +1212 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I am always thrilled with Jennifer Crusoe' s books. She writes +Court Appointed takes the stereotypical "important person needs protection and falls for the bodyguard" story and gives it an interesting twist. Making both parties men changed the dynamic of the story considerably, especially when Jackson thinks Trey is overreacting or treating him like a woman. Sexy, determined Trey and stubborn Jackson are both likeable characters. The love scenes are hot. The suspense angle was well done for the most part, and coincidences and red herrings kept it interesting. Really, the only flaws in this book were Jackson's father, whose over-the-top, controlling behavior seemed a bit much, and the resolution of the stalker angle, which I thought was abrupt. Overall, Court Appointed was a hot and entertaining read, and I give kudos to Annmarie McKenna for turning an old romance clich into something new. +6860 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I often have to reset my brain during the first chapter or two of books that are new worlds, and this was the same. The story started strong though and was definitely worth the effort. I had to remind myself that in the age and place of Nicole's world, children grow up a lot faster than my four. They have a maturity necessary for the hardships they will face. + +5370 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Cute--Beauty and the Beast for adults! Enjoyable read even if the story line is a bit ancient. +Halt quickly shoots some of the Temujai and Horace captures the one who attempts to kill Evanlyn. Two others escape. Then the Araluen and their captive quickly ride away from the campsite. + +While I enjoyed reading it, this is one of those over hyped books. It has been on my shelf for a while waiting to be read. When three different people who I respect told me I had to read it because it was one of the best books ever, I popped it to the top of my reading pile. Good: yes. Best red, life changing, etc: No. + However, the most aggravating criticism was that he had ignored the motives that led the industrial nations to undertake colonialism and imperialism on a broad scale. Diamond addressed only the means that enabled the colonial powers to dominate, not the reasons why they chose to do so. To my mind, thats no error. He didn't pretend to explain colonialism and imperialism, merely to describe how it had become possible. +SPOILER ALERT!! +Every bit the loser and misfit, Oscar's story is told by a funny, streetsmart and omniscient narrator, Yunior, a college roommate and sometime boyfriend of Oscar's older sister, Lola, a Siouxsie and the Banshees-styled athletic goth , who also takes on part of the narrative to give a more rounded perspective of Oscar and his mother Beli, as well as the love-hate mother-daughter relationships that are passed down the generations just like the alleged fuku. + +It is a warm story in that two people, each with a considerable amount of what our "helping professionals" gently label as "baggage" meet and over a period of time move to a successful conclusion. The movement is not smooth and in spite of seemingly well defined plans properly detailed and documented do not proceed with any degree of smoothness. Project plans written on paper or after all just paper. + +7461 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Jane porter series is the one but I actually like the supporting characters in this series a good look into the world of BDSM +I'd been intrigued by it for a while, and had read some of Scott's other books, but just hadn't gotten around to it. I got the opportunity, though, and finished it rather quickly, seeing as it's a very short book. And it kind of surprised me. +Dom is an absolute `force of nature'. He is handsome, brilliant, driven and has an innate ability to comprehend people's motivations and to predict how they would act in a certain set of circumstances. This is one strong, enticing hero and I can say without hesitation that I fell in love with him. Dom is soon to be married to Clarissa, a smart and successful financial analyst, who has been extremely patient with his long hours and obsession with the investigation. Dom, however, is having second thoughts about his marriage to Clarissa who, in the short glimpse we are given of her, is a lovely woman. +2474 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great book by a great man +At its best, viewed on the iPad, the content has enough space to display a reasonable facsimile of the printed page.

Blue Ridge Parkway Plunge takes place while Myers is getting settled in the mountains after moving back from Arizona. Jackson does a great job of combining the the everyday, seemingly thousands of little things that have to be done during a relocation, and the investigation of the death of Isaac Starling's best friend. I really relate to the Myers character as a real person; she's not perfect, just someone who likes horses, likes gardening and doesn't mind getting her hands dirty doing real work. I'm not a big fan of flashbacks (there's one really long one) but Jackson handles it beautifully so the reader does not lose sight of the current story. My own love of doing research in graduate school makes me admire Myers' determination to leave "no stone unturned" to find the killer. This one may cause me to buy my own Kindle. + + + + +This was a very sensual and sexy Christmas short story. Justin is a no nonsense laid back kind of guy while Amy is the ice queen, and always in complete control. He shakes her up, and makes her want things she thought she could never have. +------------------------------ +The erotic nature is wonderfully sexy, it's romantic, it's funny, it's witty, and it's all-around good fun. The pace is swift, though the danger presented within the pages seems to be dispelled too easily to make for any real suspense. Still, it's a totally fun and engrossing story. +I can't remember but I think it was free to download. +3948 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Old book, yet valid.

But the communists wanted the poor to be able to live a respectable life, while the Bourgeois wanted to get rid of the poorest because the poorest where robbing from the richest (not seeing that the richest did exactly the same thing, only under a mantle of agreements and contracts). +9914 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I loved the first book in this series and was applauding the author in my last review. Then the author must have fallen down the rabbit hole and started writing just like every other romance author because this book was terrible. First of all, it wasn't a romance. It was a mixture of never ending plot twists that weren't cohesive at all thrown together with a sex scene which was totally out of place. How many misunderstandings can one couple encounter? This author would have you believe weeks could go by where the two main characters couldn't have a two second conversation which would have solved everything. Usually this kind of thing doesn't bother me but this book DRAGGED. Very boring, very poorly written characters and a HUGE disappointment when the last book was so good. Sometimes you just can't make a sequel. +4856 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I'm a Janeite, so this was my kind of book. I think it would be too slow and repetitive for anyone not in love with Jane Austen, her people and her time and place. I liked being in on her somewhat snide evaluations of people she meets and situations she encounters, and the letters do soften the 'authoress,' Jane Austen, for me and let me see more of the daughter and sister, Jane Austen. I loved the little details of daily life, writing to her sister and asking for two pair of stockings or some gloves from a particular shop or supplier, the contemplation of new dresses, the yardage to be purchased and then given to the dressmaker, the women of the family sitting in the parlor at their 'work,' making a dozen shirts (by hand with tiny stitches) for a brother soon to go to sea, the breakfasts, teas, dinners - with the food and drink seldom described. You'd think they didn't eat! But then, this is England, not France. Anyway, the book is a time travel vehicle. People die. Babies are born. Mothers die. Fathers remarry. There are constant flirtations and courtings. There is the endless finagling for the right mate, someone of equal status with money, and not too awful. Jane and her sister don't seem to take the deaths very hard. I suppose with someone always dying, and untimely death being so much harder to avoid,it was a matter of course. +For the price it's sold for, it's overpriced. Wait until it's down to a dollar.

This Kindle edition has all six novels and is set up nicely. +Wisehart finds words you had no idea existed. His writing is well-suited to e-books because you can highlight a word and find its definition if you so desire (a word of warning, the dictionary function does not have many of the words in this book and you need to use the Google or Wikipedia functions to track them down). Or you can save yourself the trouble and simply enjoy the novelty. You may never have encountered the word "costrel" before but when the character unplugs its stopper and takes a drink from it, you can easily conclude it is a pouch for carrying liquids. + +6661 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Great quick read. relatable career minded characters focused on avoiding each other or trying to avoid. quick lighthearted fun read.

Some of the characters are a times a bit shallow but some are also very well fleshed out. +It's been months since Leslie walked away from the allure and abuses of the Dark Court and the two loves of her life and went the equivalent of solitary fae. Going to college, seeing a therapist, and trying to make new friends, it hasn't been anything resembling easy. But it was the right decision. And Leslie knows that. She just wishes her heart would remember. That it didn't race every week when Irial sits across the street from her study group and watches her, silently letting her know he's there. That he loves her. He will keep her safe. Depending on the day, the hour, the slant of light passing through her empty apartment, Leslie wishes just once she could break one of the two defining rules that form the shape of her life now. No talking to Irial. No seeing Niall. With the former and the current Dark Kings, the guidelines "look but don't touch" and "listen but don't look" may be exquisitely hard to follow, but they go a long way toward keeping Leslie the kind of safe and independent she relies on these days. Meanwhile, Irial and Niall circle each other warily, quietly dancing around their loss of Leslie and the impossible chasm that is forgiveness and reconciliation. The three of them push on every day until an outside force alters their routine abruptly and it becomes clear someone who knows the intimate details of Leslie's past is intent on using her (and those who love her) for their own purposes. And Leslie realizes she may be forced to break one of her rules in order to protect herself and the two men she loves. +193 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 When she's kicked out of the military academy, Kylara (Ky) Vatta is quickly assigned to be Captain of one of her family's aging merchant ships. The journey will keep her out of the public eye, and give the Vatta family a chance to see what Ky can do on her own. Although Ky had been certain she would pursue a career in the military, she quickly turns to the family creed of making money. Unfortunately for Ky, a civil war in the system where she goes to pick up agricultural machinery and problems with her faster-than-light drive lead her to more adventure than most of her academy cohorts will ever see. +This sort of thing does not particularly bother me as long as animals are not involved and as a matter of fact I dearly love a good tale of revenge...I read The Count of Monte Cristo when I was very, very young and it is still a favorite of mine. + + +Hope for Alice may be gone, but there are many Alice's out in the world, and thanks to this story, they don't always have to live in fear that no one will save them. +Images of the other books in the set can be found when you click on "Look inside" on the image of the cover of these books: +For me, the book almost works well but doesn't quite make it.

Unsure of where he is, he opens his eyes and is instantly delighted and amazed at what he sees. He has a mate of his very own and this mate is hot!

Cherney truly captures the theme of his novel in an opening scene where Wheeler is running late to work. He's cut himself shaving, he has no clean uniform for work, and then he gets stuck in traffic. From the descriptions of the people in the cars next to him, to people on their cell phones, ladies applying make-up, to Calvin flipping through the morning show radio stations, it is a scene all of us know all to well. +Cassie +The synopsis tells you all you need to know about the story.

It was not my intention to ignite such a dispute... My aim was simply to answer several recent authors who were arguing for no-lordship salvation evangelism. These men were charging the rest of the church with heresy, and I felt their accusations needed an answer." (Pg. xiv) +Series: Madaris Family and Friends #1 +However, I'm glad I stuck with the book. Things really started coming together in the second half, but it's more the land and the history of the place that brings the edge to the story and the writing. There are some really nice touches that echo the Old West and the supernatural without ever stepping over the line. And there's enough action to finish out nicely. +Levin does a very good job of showing many areas where this has occurred including citing specific cases and providing hundreds of footnotes. Some areas where the Court has acted outside the scope of its authority that Levin lists include the following: Forcing tax money to be spent on services for illegal aliens, allowing political speech to be limited, interfering with local school operations, farm quotas, prison policies, partial birth abortion, etc. He demonstrates how the Court has usurped authority rightly belonging to the states, Congress, and the Executive. +Each full moon five sisters travel through the portal into a magical glade where they dance with creatures rarely seen outside of fairy tales--fairies, dwarves, trolls and other creatures only whispered about back home. + --- Reviewed by Norah Piehl + +3998 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 What have you got to lose? It's a quick read and like the "Master Key System", "The Secret" and "Think and Grow Rich", to name a few, it places you in the driver's seat. And to me it makes the point that you've got the power. The book suggest you put all other systems aside in favor of its system or it won't work: a technique often used in brainwashing. I submit again, you have nothing to lose. The promise it makes is that you have the power inside you to make things happen...Sounds like a good idea, even if a little brainwashing is involved. If after awhile, it doesn't work, go back to looking for outside forces and help.

Although intended for the young adult, even a thirty-something such as much myself had difficulty coping with the story. Only the most mature of readers should be subjected to this reading material that so vividly describes the abuse that, sadly enough, real girls endure everyday. +Ryel has been living a lie, but have no fear, all of his misconceptions and preconceived notions are quickly unwound and rectified when his long lost uncle (who just happens to be a wysard) comes to take him back to Markul where he belongs. Being thrown headfirst into "wysard" training is draining and (to be honest) a little daunting, but not as daunting as the very sudden death of his mentor. Finally realizing that his mentor is stuck in the wraith-world (or held captive by a malignant sorcerer, as it may be) Ryel sets out to rediscover a long lost spell and set him free. Can he pull off the unimaginable? Who can he really trust? And more importantly... when he finally gets what he wants... is it really what he wanted? +Although this is the third book in the series, it can be read and enjoyed without reading the prior volumes.

As one reviewer stated these books are from the perspective of the characters it's like we are flies on the wall in their private interludes. The people that complain about the sex in the books what exactly do you think happens when two passionate individuals are married or in love.

There was more to it. The author really has talent when she takes the time to expand.

As punishment he kicks out his cousin Lewis and tells Jesse he will be taking advantage of his marital rights-she will also have 30 days in his bed before she will be in prison with the others. She protests her innocence in the whole affair and tries to show him she was taking care of things the best she could. Opium, Laudnum and alcohol are never far from his reach, making it difficult for him to really see things clearly. He does not trust her and she is falling in love with him. When she starts actually making references to her absence in 30 days-he starts to feel he would rather not lose her and asks her to stay and help rid him of his addiction.

I really enjoyed reading it and thought it was well done. My only problem is that there seemed to be the odd article missing and a word or two in it weren't in the Kindle dictionary such as "haint", which is a ghost.

Margo's husband goes a little too far whilst driving to Cannes for a medical conference, and his reaction to her deficient map-reading skills is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Impulsively, bravely, and perhaps a little uncharacteristically, she leaves her irritating husband of ten years when they stop at a motorway filling station. With no real clue where to go or how to get there, this action marks the start of Margo's French `adventure' and the path to self-awareness, confidence, and love. +6412 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a bundle of 4 ultra hot Brenda Jackson books that will leave you completely fulfilled!

Ms. Silkstone took the original Alice in Wonderland, and deftly wove it into something uniquely her own.

This is a very solid fantasy book. This book deals more with war and strategy than previous books have. +8490 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was just what I was looking for. It was very informative. I absolutely enjoyed reading it! The author is a great writer +3440 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great little summaries of historical discoveries around the world. The ten here are of course the author's favorites, but he makes a compelling case for each one. +198 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I normally will not finish a book that has no punctuation for dialogue (Cormack McCarthy is one of those authors I just cannot read). But Dirt Music is beautifully written and is easy to keep track of who is speaking and doing what. A dramatic love story. I enjoyed it very much. + +3940 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I gave this book a 5star because it has helped me tremendously. This is my second time reading this book and my life has changed with so much richness in it. This book is so life changing if it is read with an understanding of how the Universe really works. Your desires will come to you just as you imagine them. Our minds can create anything we desire in our lives. It's a science that can not fail. If we practice a deep feeling of gratitude uniting ourselves with Devine Intelligence,all things are possible. +In fact, and unknown to Ricardian economists or Marx, industrial Capitalism couldn't have emerged without the conscious decision of nations to allow for the rise of interest rates to free market heights, abandoning low interest rates policies, such low interest rates policies making possible the Mercantilist pre-industrial Capitalist era. Only with higher, market-based, interest rates is it possible to accumulate the necessary large quantities of capital for industrial enterprise. +Another aspect of Mr. Johnson's writing is a tendency to write quite a lot about the area where the story takes place. Depending on your tastes this can be wonderful, or drag down the story. If you like that sort of thing you'll learn about the weather, the land itself, the Cheyenne, the Crow, and even the architecture of the buildings from that area. Of course, you'll learn quite a lot about guns and rifles. If you don't like that kind of stuff, reading about another storm working its way through the mountains will drive you nuts. I'm fine with that stuff since it all went to character development and helped set up some of the more dramatic scenes. +6720 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 The basic plot is interesting, but the writing is dull. The book was very one-dimensional. I would have rated the book higher if it weren't for the way it ended. It was like the author got bored of writing the story and ended it. But not just ended it but ended it as a HAPPILY EVERY AFTER even though there was so many questions left unanswered. This book really had SO MUCH potential. If only the author had expanded the book by putting in some subplots about the other groups that where drawn to the gathering place. Then the conflict at the end might have made more since. I am glad I got this for free and being a short book, I didn't end up wasting too much time reading it. +4. Kidnapped by a Greek Billionaire +The book that started the now twenty-one book long series + + +3637 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This third book picked up where it ended on the second book. It entailed the life of Will and Evanlyn as slaves in Skandia, and the journey of Halt and Horace upon rescuing Will and Evanlyn. There were times that my heart was in my heart due to the suspense on Will and Evanlyns escape from slavery. I got a little frustrated when the chapters on Halt and Horace were longer than Will and Evanlyn. I guessed the author was illustrating the prime of Horace in battle while accompanying Halt to rescue his lost apprentice, Will. The book was a page-turner and an easy read. Its suitable for young readers. The plot was stirring and entertaining. I felt like I was transported back in time. + +It wasn't until she hit the British Isles that her obsession with food lessened and she became the writer I loved from Under the Tuscan Sun. I did question some of her reviews of British food. I have rarely eaten anything to rave about in England, Scotland and Ireland. It is good solid food and enjoyable, but not something to send one to lala land over the taste and texture and experience. She also managed to bring the beauty of the gardens that the UK is so famous for to me through her words. That redeemed the poorly presented first half of the book in my eyes! +2734 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Living Dead Girl is a raw, and gritty tale of real life monsters and their victims. Grabs your gut and hangs on tight. +211 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Having read SOMETIMES YOU SEE IT COMING, one of the best baseball books I've read, I was interested to know if the Kevin Baker who wrote DREAMLAND and PARADISE ALLEY was the same person. It's the same guy, but Baker has the chops to do both, as he is the chief historical researcher for the NEW YORK TIMES. + +I like the premise - a lot. This love probably comes from being a "Buffy" fan since the concept behind the show was for the little blonde girl in the dark alley to "take back the night." One of the themes of the show was how, because she was tiny and cute, she was continually underestimated. Anyone who is a blonde, or knows some capable ones, will appreciate the inherent humor and girl power message here. +9876 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thought the book was good. I really enjoyed the humor and became very fond of "That Damn Turkey". +If you like this genre, you will enjoy this one. BTW, open the door of your freezer, place your chair in front of it, and read this book because it's Eve Vaughn hot when they mate! +Like in the other books in the series, the family (in the case of werewolf, the pack) is a main value: old good feelings and the idea that you are stronger if you lean on your pack. And they are also a great source for other stories in the series (I will look forward for Sterling and Rhys's story, and who will be Matt's mate?) +Warning: The book contains explicit m/m sexual scenes. +3. Dana Marie Bell's Dare to Believe (The Gray Court) - sexy, humorous para-romance with all manner of fae: Sidhe, dragons, leprechauns, vampires and more +This is a great compliment to the new Autobiography of Mark Twain vol 1.Autobiography of Mark Twain: The Complete and Authoritative Edition, Volume 1 as once you have read that you'll definitely want to catch up on Twain stories you might have missed. + +2525 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Years ago I had the pleasure of reading some of these stories individually to my daughters when they were still little ones at home. Who doesn't love Winnie-the-Pooh? And for they who unfortunately do not - I say, "Oh Bother!" +593 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this modern rendition. I wondered how it would all come about. It had to be hard to come up with a way to do this. I had a hard time envisioning how a more updated version would go but I thought the author had it pretty spot on. No amazing letter however.....I don't imagine that would have been possible. The characters were well filled out. I could feel their anguish. I loved Isabelle. Jane was great as a foundation executive. Jane is our Anne. Winnie the younger sister was just pure fun. I liked her much better than Mary Musgrove. There were definite parts where I laughed out loud. My only real complaint was some of the language. Yes, most people do swear, it's just one of my pet peeves. I don't care for it whatsoever. I don't like descriptions of male intimate body parts and in the one scene that was sexual (that comes to mind)I felt it could have been left out. Otherwise I liked this authors attempt at modernization. I'll still probably read the original version much more but it was enjoyable, I'd read it again, and for my more youthful friends they could probably relate better. +The Wallflower is a book not to miss for readers who are looking for a hero and heroine who can make them smile, sigh and outright laugh. It's a vibrant and rich world of likeable characters and an interesting courtship between a hunky eye doctor and an adorably sassy shop owner. I had so much fun reading this book that I simply have to find more by Ms. Bell. Her writing is becoming an addiction I can't wait to indulge more in. I absolutely recommend reading this impish and delightfully saucy book. +141 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It's like one of those potato chips. You can't eat just one. You have to read the entire series. +Action-Adventure Plot: 5 stars + +4507 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This review has been crossposted from my blog at The Cosy Dragon.com. Please head there for more in-depth reviews by me, which appear on a timely schedule. +9411 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I like to see and get some feeling of what pleasures a woman can instinctively give to another woman. Men ain't good at that! Maybe I can learn something that will bring more pleasure into my wife's and my rather infrequent sexual relationship. A good read but I would like a longer book that got more into personality development instead of 75% sex. +Gabe is the town's handyman extraordinaire. He meets Lizzy, a redhead he doesn't find particularly attractive at first, when she comes to interview him for a paper she's writing on people who have performed heroic acts. Not only is Lizzy carrying around a lot of guilt over the death of her mother, but she has serious self-confidence issues. This is a true story of opposites attract. Gabe is as laid back as can be, who spends most of his free time lollygagging around the water and sunning himself. He is well aware of his attractiveness to the opposite sex and his own virility. Lizzy is as uptight as one can get, freckles and burns if she spends more than a few minutes in the sun, and has no confidence in attractiveness or anything else. +What I can tell anyone reading this review is that I don't think you'll be wasting your time (which is infinitely more precious than your money) in reading "Believe". If anything, you might find yourself actually smiling and feeling good at the end of this story. And it's not a bad thing if you find your eyes getting a little moist because someone manipulated your feelings in only the kindest way possible. +506 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great read + +Bliss St. Clair thinks she's stumbled into some kind of nightmare. She spies Cadan sinking his fangs and himself into a woman which disgusts and arouses her, and then Cadan tells her about symbiots and her possible role as a host. Although he is reluctant to bring Bliss into his world and the inherent danger Cadan doesn't think he has a choice. Not only does he desperately want her for himself, his father would like nothing better than to have a viable female host. Somehow he has to be strong enough to give her the options and protect her from himself and others as she makes her decision. Time is running out. +457 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This compelling story was hard to put down. Both Carrie and Zack were strong, well-developed characters, a bit quirky for their time, but highly believable. +J. Morgan has a wickedly clever sense of humor that infuses every single page of LOVE AT FIRST STAKE. Readers will relish the pop culture references that pepper the storyline and I still giggle just thinking about a couple of them. The Britney Spears scene is just classic! Humor, romance, and the paranormal are perfectly meshed together to create a storyline that simply begs for a series! +1792 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 In MEN IN BLACK, Mark Levin, the conservative radio talk host, turns his attention to an area of Americana that has suddenly shifted gears from dry and dusty to hot and relevant. He notes that the Supreme Court forms one angle of the triangle that in effect governs America. The Presidency and the Senate over the years have struggled with the Supreme Court and each other in a bear hug that historically was more or less even. However, Levin notes that the Court has grown powerful beyond the scope envisioned for it by the Founding Fathers, who set it up as a check on the other two. The Court, they held, was to interpret the law, a formidably strong enough concept indeed. Yet, Levin accuses the Court of overstepping its bounds in a manner that places it squarely in the camp of a leftist ideology that he fears has turned the United States into a bizarre nation that opposes nearly every precept once held dearly by Washington, Jefferson, and Madison. No longer is the America of 2005 a nation that opposes racism (affirmative action is the "settled law" of a racist ideology that the Founding Fathers would have found abhorrent) nor is it one that will protect its citizens from foreign incursions (the Court now insists that captured Islamofascist terrorists must be accorded the constitutional right to face their accusers in a court of law). Levin argues that the Court has proven over the last fifty years that the fate of the Democratic party and the fate of the Court itself are inextricably intertwined. MEN IN BLACK was written before the recent arrival of John Roberts as Chief Justice. With the looming confirmation hearings of Samuel Alitto as the newest conservative justice, Levin must be heartened by the likely prospect of a reversal of a court that has looked over its left shoulder for so long that it forgot that it even had a right one. +822 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Jury by Fern Michaels was released in 2006. A Sisterhood novel, this has lots of action,plot, and some violence. Fans of Fern Michaels will like this the most. + +Belle is challenged and taunted by Gena the acting leader of the women in the wolf pack. Gena's goal is to be the Luna of the pack and she definitely won't step down for a puma who is also crippled! Of course she's never met Belle! +http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525479295?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s03 +4229 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I'm 26 years old now, and I had a real big smile the whole time while revisiting this lovable dummy from childhood, Pooh Bear-- even if, admittedly, I was kinda just biding time until my real favorite, Eeyore, showed up with his depressing ass. And boy-oh-boy does he deliver! + +A great, quick read. +999 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Every time I picked up a page of this news I felt it was preferential to our Governor Perry. I would prefer a non-biased paper?? + + +9680 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Incredible, that's all I have to say. This book keeps the fires stoked white hot all the way to the end... and what's more, it happens over two separate time frames. The first half of the book keeps bouncing back and forth between two timelines; you're still panting from one scene and ouf! you get landed in another scene, just as hot and heavy five years earlier or later, depending. +4893 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Four years ago Garrett Winslow and Haley Turner had a hot and heavy affair in Mexico. A tragedy took him away and he never looked back. Unfortunately, when Haley went looking for the man she fell for in Mexico she couldn't find him because he gave her a false name. Garrett has always been wary of false affections because of his wealth but he has never felt that wonderful true feeling he shared with Haley in Mexico. Now they meet again and he discovers that he left her with more than just a good time. Can he win her heart once again? + Sheriff Longmire has been enjoying lazy days in the Wyoming frontier, with very little to push him into duty. He's even contemplating retirement, and hoping that his brash young deputy from Philadelphia, Victoria, would be elected as the new sheriff. He enjoys times with his friend Harry Standing Bull, and has gotten comfortable with his always honest and opinionated receptionist, Ruby. Keeping a couple of his other deputies in line is less enjoyable. And relations between the Native Indians on the reservation territory, and the remaining population, often takes some diplomacy. + +2004 (12) MY +- I couldn't help rolling my eyes at some of the melodramatic--and unrealistic--things the characters do. Kasey, who's not out in public, wakes up on the couch of a night club and immediately twines his fingers with Gram's...then lets Gram kiss him? Gram starts calling Kasey "baby" after their first sexual encounter? Kasey gives an impassioned coming out speech to a whole slew of reporters not 20 minutes after having said he wasn't going to tell anyone outright? +3747 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love this series. They are fun to read and the story flows nicely. Nice humor dispersed throughout the book. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the price that is being charged for this book compared to similar quality books on Amazon. +6329 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was an excellent bedtime story book for us romantics and dreamers. The stories were to perfect length for me. Her descriptions are so real and completely bring you into the life and time of the characters. She is now one of my most favourite authors. + +2057 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Australian author Flanagan originally wrote this series to encourage his twelve-year-old son to love reading. The Ruins of Gorlan is Book One, and The Burning Bridge is Book Two. The setting is vaguely medieval Europe, with interesting details of battle, weapons, and character. +But top-notch storytelling, as always, for Lanyon. +Maxine "Max" Turner decided she needed a security system installed in her huge family home when vandals broke in and the new client for her brother's company and her web design services is an expert in the field. Forget sparks - what was a flicker when they first met turned into fireworks by the time she and Ryan finished going over the security needs at her house later. Neither one plays any games - they start dating immediately, knowing starting an affair is going to happen soon. Their relationship is complicated by her huge family intruding (something similar happens in Turn it Up - it's funny), his responsibility to his handicapped brother and the ongoing vandalism at her house. +Unfortunately they didn't feel anywhere as good as they used to. I'm giving it two stars and not just one because in its own day it probably wasn't as bad as it is today. The wooden dialog was almost impossible to bear. +Lincoln is a very powerful Vehemens vampire and is four hundred years old. I really liked him. He can be a little arrogant and condescending towards humans, but he also has a gentle side that not many people, vampires included, see. He is also the Chosen Son (sort of like the second in command) of his house, which makes him pretty important to his bloodline. + + +There are characters whose passing in battle made me shed a tear. Thater had made them so real to me that I felt real sadness at their fate. + + +7475 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this whole series, and wish there were more. I also read the Bear one, and can't wait til she comes out with the next in that series, which kinda continues this one. They aren't too long, but neither do you feel cheated by brevity. This one involves an eye doctor and a legally blind puma with "ex issues". There is plenty of intrigue and hot protective feelings going on. And I really especially enjoyed that these books all allow further glimpses into the characters met in previous books. Very enjoyable! +Mark S. Koslosky +4351 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 a must have for any children's library, both children and adults will enjoy the action, magic and interesting story lines in all of the books in the series. + + +3125 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 If you're struggling with mild depression or just singing the blues, this book will lift you up. It's awesome! +Only thing is I can't get enough of it and her sequels are taking so long to come out. +8685 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really like reading Elizabeth Lennox books. They have a good story and have hot steamy love scenes also. There isn't a lot of foul language and I feel happy while reading her books. I also really like that the book comes to an end as well. I don't like books that leave you hanging. I would recommend this book. + + + +Dr. Taj is a well-regarded physician. And I think he's Ashwini's brother. Egan is the angel Ashwini pinned to a wall a year ago. + +5953 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Patricia Briggs is awesome. + +Lily Wickham is running out of options. Fired yet again for her perpetual clumsiness and inability to be unattractive, Lily has nowhere else to go but back to the nuns who raised her after the death of her mother. It is there at the convent that Lily is given one more chance to become the governess she knows she can be. Francesca Malloy, the Mother Superior's best friend from childhood, has written and asked that Mother send a governess to Wyoming to help her son take control of his hoyden daughter. Lily isn't sure that she is cut out for Wyoming but finds herself a mere two months later stepping onto a train. +3744 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Love this series and this book didn't disappoint. When you through a skandian into a book it makes anything better. + +8974 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I think that this is an interesting story. The sex is good, too. Three people who had been in High School together, 10 years earlier, but were too shy to connect. They do now. The perceptions that they have about each other is interesting to learn, as well as how each of them treats the relationship. All in all, I found it worth reading. +"The mark of a true disciple is not that he never sins, but rather that when he does sin he inevitably returns to the Lord to receive cleansing and forgiveness." ~ pg. 111 + +4805 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is one of many Titanic books have have on my Kindle. It's fun to read the early books on this disaster. The early addition make the sinking of the Titanic fresher, in my humble opinion. +5366 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great book and I enjoyed reading it very much. It had an excellent plot and it held my interest. I will recommend this book to anyone looking for a good love story. +4573 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the second book in the Accidental Series. Nina has a vocabulary that can make a sailor blush but leave you rolling on the floor laughing. Dakota takes us on another great adventure as Nina discovers what it means to be a Vampire. All three women from the first book are in this one as well and their antics will keep you entertained. Not to mention sexy men and hot blush worthy moments. +Do I think events could unfold as described? No. Do I think the book is thought provoking and compelling? Absolutely. Those who like a more subtle approach may not enjoy this read and would not find the United States to be so willing to embrace such radical cultural indoctrination. Having said that, Clavell's book The Children's Story frightening shows how easily and quickly it is to change beliefs. My estimate is this book will polarize readers but all will come away thinking. +365 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 So much to learn from this one. A super read. I really recommend it. It's the sort of thing you'll find yourself reading more than once. +4429 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book dares the reader to imagine a bolder side of Mr. Darcy & Miss Bennet. It is similiar to a recent book of Reynolds' but, they differ in their details. We all know that the devil is in the details! Read it, you will not be disappointed! +This story is fresh and new. It has character development, and friendships, terror, and finally, Revenge. +Sensuous: 3.0: + +You put it right in a submarine +All of these faults would be easier to cope with if the book were simply bad, and therefore easily dismissed--but it's not. The setting is under-explored (the magical elements in particular often feel like a pseudo-Celtic fairy world), but Transylvania is a pleasant change. A number of sub-plots and a sense of magic keep the reader interested, even when the direction of the story is obvious. And most promising of all, Jena and her sisters have the potential to be spirited, independent young woman--interesting characters in any setting and any sort of novel. There are just enough promising aspects to keep the reader hoping that the book will improve, and so it's all the more frustrating when it does not. I can't possibly recommend Wildwood Dancing. It has some good bits and has the potential for many more, but it never becomes enjoyable. Instead, the story is bogged down by frustration and predictability, and it never rewards the reader for the labor of its 400 pages. Avoid this book--there are many similar novels (even if not set in Transylvania) that are far more successful. +5910 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have long been a fan of Mercy Thompson but somehow never tried the authors other werewolf series. What a mistake! I loved this brief story of the meeting between Charles and Anna, and have already started reading the next book in this series. Its fun to have these secondary characters from Mercys world become more fleshed out. Note that I am reading this as part of a anthology of the first 3.5 books in this series purchased from Amazon. +However, Elizabeth Kelly is a strong, tough, fierce wordsmith; I often found myself reading metaphors out loud to share with others. She possesses a deep wellspring of talent for wordplay and is quite beguiling and wry. I am confident that her novels will keep getting better, that she will restrain some of the crooked distortions on her next go-round and just let the story have its own current, its own flow. +7526 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Thanks + Night Owl Reviews + +4315 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great all time classic that I keep on my digital devices for my grandchildren. The digital generation is here but thank goodness we can still steer them to some good literature and not just junk. +9291 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 All versions of Gods word are good. Personally, I like a bible with footnotes. This is worth the money. + +7325 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Just what I wanted in a Science Fiction Novel. Easy to read and understand. Action and story are all topnotch. Recommend to everybody who likes SciFi. May have gotten the reviews out of sequence when reviewing, but all three novels have been exceptionally well written and I hope the author has more out there to add. +326 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 A dated work, soon after its publication on February 21, 1848. +7206 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I almost cried when I reached the end me want more....so now i guess i am a fan of ms dom adair +To say Gage is socially awkward around women would be a gross understatement. It makes starting a relationship hard, especially when he is as attracted to a woman as he is Hailey. A little blackmail seems a small matter for his pride, though, if it gets him a shot with Hailey. +Get some tea, your favorite quilt, and curl up with this book, you won't be disappointed! +As fiction though, she dismisses it as "an overwrought, overwritten novel that misses conveying the war's terrible reality and the courage of one woman." Somehow the author failed to "perform that literary alchemy that transforms information into a believable plot and compelling characters." The reviewer points out the author's failure in keeping the language true to the time. + +The book continues maybe a few weeks to a month after the end of The Burning Bridge; with Will and Evanlyn engaging route to Skandia as slaves, and Halt trying to keep his promise to Will. +The electronic version is delivered promptly daily...without the comics! +Whether the novella is read prior to having read any or all of the full-length books in the series or not, it will be captivating and intriguing, humorous and heartbreaking, a little bit shocking and most definitely eye-opening. +4210 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great bundled price. I love it on my kindle and the books don't clutter up my house. Also, no one has to see those embarrassing covers. +Carrie, her husband, John, and their slaves were all drawn into the unending demands of the retreating armies and overwhelmed with the men left in their care. Carrie's two young children romped about among amputees, the sightless, and the mortally wounded with gaping parts of themselves altered or missing. The events following the battle remake Carrie into the person she believe God has always expected her to become. She, helped by her life-long servant, Mariah, and to a lesser extent her husband and Zachariah, the soldier she inexplicably falls in love with, finds an inner strength and goes on through the rest of her life to save and protect both the living and the dead who fall in Franklin and find themselves in her charge. She reburied almost 1,500 dead soldiers on the grounds of Carnton to protect them from being plowed over in their original graves on the battlefield. Until her death in 1905, she walked the cemetery daily and oversaw the graves with loving attention. Her cemetery is now maintained by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. In the 1980's, the foundation began efforts to restore Carnton. There are wonderful photos of Carrie, Mariah, John, the cemetery and Carnton in the author's notes at the end...worth reading. +6364 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Virginia Smith's "Age Before Beauty" is a wonderful tribute to several characterizations of motherhood. Allie is a brand new Mom with a handsome husband and a wonderful life. As she approaches the end of her maternity leave, she has second thoughts about leaving her newborn daughter in day care to return to work. She encounters a new employment opportunity in the midst of many other life changes that will evoke sympathetic (if not empathetic) responses from the readers of this thought-provoking work of fiction. +Unforgiven is seriously smokin' hot! Emotions are running high in Unforgiven. Cutter is so angry not just with Katie for cheating but also at his sister Dani for marrying Justin, a man he hates. Don't even get him started on the fact that everyone knows his baby sister is actually in a relationship with two men. Cutter's anger fuels the hot passionate sex that he shares with Katie. They may decide on no-strings sex, but you can only deny your true feelings for so long. It doesn't matter how great the sex is between Katie and Cutter in Unforgiven, they can never have a successful relationship if he cannot forgive Katie for her indiscretion with Justin. Unforgiven will leave you breathless. + +775 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I used to get the Post on paper and switched to Kindle for the last couple of years. The paper has gone downhill: the writing has suffered, analysis is almost gone, and the paper has become more and more biased. While the navigation is good, the Kindle version frequently has typos, and it will refer you to the website Post for many interesting articles which are clipped short. As I am a local, I expect the Post to also cover local news, but it is deficient in what it selects. There are some major issues going on, but they prefer to go back to some crime that is unsolved and happened years ago rather than dig into current issues--it's probably cheaper. The Post covers politics, but the reporting is typically he said, she said with little or no research or analysis, and the editorial and news selection slant is decidedly pro-illegal immigrant. I am not a conservative, but I would like more balanced reporting regardless of what the editorial board has to say. To be fair, the Post occasionally has a fact checker article that is useful. For the last several months, I've found myself skipping over the much of the paper. Many of the writers have an annoying habit of launching into an article, but failing to give you the key information until the last couple of paragraphs. I suppose that is to peak my interest or something, but it's like listening to Bolero. I am in the process of cancelling the subscription. By all means, try a free subscription though. I subscribed for years. Who knows, you might like it, especially if you are pro-illegal immigrant. +4144 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Deepak Chopra brings to this book a Non-Christian way of looking at Christ (and this is NOT to be considered a disparaging comment on my part). As with all his other books, I have found him to be an author and an individual with great wisdom (East meets West? East supplements West?), and I have personally used his insights and wisdom to my lifes' advantage many times. +This is a poignant at times funny contemporary story of a new mom and her family. I related more to the first book in the series as a single girl but I loved both books in the series. I cannot wait to read Tori's story next year. I highly recommend the entire series. :) + +Rating: G for everyone +3682 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The book was great. A lot of characters changed from enemies to allies. It seems as if the series should probably be over now, but of course there are still more books. You should definitely read this book if you liked the other ones. +TRAINING THE RECEPTIONIST is a first person look at one woman's submission and capitulation to the man seemingly born for her. Dana is strong, submissive, and surprised by the man she works for daily. Simon is one man who definitely knows what he wants and how he wants it. He isn't afraid to push buttons because in the end, Dana is his. And that is exactly how he wants her in his life. +8618 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love this story and the author. Antonia is strong and very much underestimated by all but Brett. Brett is smart, sexy, and stats a step ahead. This story is sexy, romantic, and funny. +I am a Christian and believe everything that the Bible says. In spite of that, I would not consider trying to defend the Christian faith with that as a starting point. + + +1867 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I learned about this authors books through her free 12 day financial course. I saw this title and thought it would make an excellent gift for my neighbor who recently launched a business. Since I am also a long time student of behavior change, I also ordered a copy of the book for myself. And I am glad I did. +Antonio and Santos have thoroughly enjoyed the time they've spent with Jane. They've shared women before but Jane's the first one who's really brought out the possessive and protective instincts in both of them. The men are stunned to learn about Jane's previous relationship with Peter and how long she'd been deceived. +Oh, and one more which just came to mind: anything which uses a reference to botany or zoology as a comment on human behavior or the human condition, and then employs quotes from some book on the topic as chapter headers is right out. Which explains my attitude towards this novel. Fortunately, I got it on close-out, so I don't feel robbed. +Duncan Gilmore and Dr. Tamara Wolcott meet for the first time in a elevator that they get stuck in. Duncan & Tamara get off to a rocky start in the elevator but while there they begin to get to know each other a little better. Tamara tell Duncan about her life why she became a doctor and the failing of her marriage to her ex. Tamara has put up this wall and after her marriage ended she decided that from now on she will not depend on a man and that she will be a independent person. Tamara thought she had everything under control until Duncan her stirred up all kind of feeling and desire in Tamara. + +7696 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I liked that the main characters were in their sixties and were still smart and capable. The plot was interesting and I did not guess "who done it" before it was revealed in the book. + + +3059 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 lots of good information regarding the use and attributes of crystals.

The story is non-linear and covers a time span that goes from 1944 to 1995. There is a part that follows the life of the Cabrales American children in the USA following a natural chronology and line of events, while another part tells the story of their parents and grandparents from the present to the past, in reverse order. +Enjoying The Show.....what more can i say.....where can i find a man like Mr Tool. Yes, you read that correctly. Mr Tool is the name the ladies of Abberwick Apartments have named there fantasy man and next door neighbor. +While he wars with himself -and his traiterous brother--QUOTE to step-mom-- "His share of the bickering, mother-lies squalling in my nursery upstairs"...THEN TO TRUMBLE:"..feel free to take your son with you when you go!..." + + + + +719 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Factual coverage with detail +I do like this story, as I do other of Kara Louise's books and will recommend that others read it but will also point out these qualifications. +3692 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It is difficult to give a complete review of this book without having had the opportunity to read the first three books in the series; however,I thoroughly enjoyed book four. I would recommend it to a wide variety of readers. +A note on the Kindle edition: it's a tad overpriced, given its length. Do yourself a favor and check it out from the library. + +Overall, good bundle. Nothing earth shattering, simply light entertainment, for evening reading or relaxing. + +3137 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 interesting reading + + +The first story in the series is about Sawyer, the oldest brother. He's a sexy, companionate doctor who's also a loving father and amazing brother. The story starts with him having to safe Honey after she runs her car into his fence. He's instantly attracted to her. The story has him wanting to find out about her and she wanting to get away from him and his brother's because she's in danger and doesn't want to endanger them. Honesty, I was so bored reading the story. I couldn't stay interested, I didn't care what Honey's danger was and then Sawyer somewhat was bipolar to me. He was practically keeping Honey at his house since she was in danger and he didn't want her hurt, yet she wanted to leave and he wouldn't let her. At times he would shake her wanting to get his words through to her, but he wasn't a violent person according to his brothers. There were so many other things about the story that drove me nuts. Sawyer wanted Honey to stay, but wasn't going to tell her, Honey said she felt safe with Sawyer, but wouldn't tell him anything about her big danger mystery, Sawyers brother's were always interrupting him and Honey during an intimate time, and then when a big moment came between them that would have been so much sweeter in private it's done in a causal way with his brother's all around. Overall it just wasn't what I expected or hoped the story would be. +302 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good read +4699 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Lauren Dane is a great writer. I wish the story was longer but was a good read for the price. +This is an unusual book, and there are often science fiction and fantasy references - which are helpful if you are familiar with them. Books such as Lord of the Rings, or Dune, or the Narnia series to just name a few. There's also mention of Twilight Zone episodes, and various role playing games and video and movies. I recognized most of them, and thought they were used brilliantly to take us into Oscar's mind and world. Also helpful is knowing Spanish - which I (sort of) do. + +8137 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good read. It kept my attention the whole time. The story flowed well.

Recommended it to all my friends. +3890 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Integers two words into one the elves time periods and space time period. The combing is good you don't get lost. It keeps you in both words at the same time. The only thing that I didn't like is the licking of blood. It needs rereading the dashes are funny. + + + +9069 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great. Great. Great!!! I enjoyed this book immensely. Caleb and Sommers romance was off the charts. Sommer had a lot of pride that she needed to work through but Caleb waited for her. +4250 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I purchased the Kindle edition of this book for the portability. I thought it would be great to be able to decide on a recipe and access the ingredient list on my iPhone while shopping. +6168 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've sat on this book for a couple years, waiting to get my hands on the rest of the trilogy before reading it. I found it to be a fun book, fast paced and quite well-written for a first effort. While it did follow the "standard plot" for a sword & sorcery-type fantasy novel pretty much down the line, it did so in an entertaining manner and with enough detours and differences to make it interesting. +I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. Buy extra copies to give to your friends and family members. Check out Dave Ramsey on the radio, on his website, even check out his classes being offered locally! +5356 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a really good read! +5230 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Very informative book. Easy reading and makes total sense. There are charts to copy and use in the back of the book. I have implemented this and see a difference in our assets. I'm doing small changes but hope to get the big picture in line soon +But for some reason, she is rewarded for this wallowing. She has two great friends who prove time and time again they are there for her. The vampire that turns her accidentally? Well, he is a hunk and a half, rich, has developed the great skills of flying and wishing things into existence. If that won't make you fall in love, nothing will. + +In spite of Men In Black's faulty reasoning, there are some parts worth reading. The best chapter (by far) is chapter 10, "Silencing Political Debate". Here, the book accurately points out the very unconstitutional and un- American McCain- Feingold act of 2002 and how it silences free speech by making it a crime to talk about politicians in the days leading up to an election. How this ever became law and survived a review by the Supreme Court, I will never know. Levin is one- hundred percent correct in his criticism of this act and I share his disgust. Besides this chapter, there are some other good points made regarding certain individual laws (many are mentioned in the book) from over the years and how their fate was decided by the Supreme Court and they also make for good reading. + + +2661 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Abigail Reynolds is one of my favourite PnP fan-fiction writers. Of her more explicit novels, this is my favourite. An added bonus is that most of her books are available as audio books as well. +6837 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoyed the book.

Enjoyed the author's points ~ will use in developing my upcoming novel. A must keep reference! +Suspense: 5.0: +I'm anxiously awaiting the opportunity to get onto the fourth book. But I'll wait because these stories are uniting our family in a lot of ways, and there's nothing better than a shared story! + +It isn't even very good. Jane Porter takes a vow of celibacy after finding out that her "master" is married (I put that in quotation marks because that is what she calls him, but she seems to be very unfamiliar with the lifestyle later in the story - it was difficult to figure out exactly what her experience level was). After a year, she attends a BDSM-themed party she set up as a party planner. This whole turn of events was so incredibly unrealistic. First of all, a guy was throwing it for his half-brother. Who throws a party like that for a sibling? Nobody in the book was engaging in any sort of negotiation or conversation about what they wanted to do. It was just guys throwing their weight around while mouthing bland inane nothings like "You know that a submissive is really in charge of the scene?" Well, if that's the case, then maybe try talking about what she wants, what she is looking for in the scene, what isn't on the table for the session? The whole reason Jane got into a bad situation in the first place was because she didn't talk to her "master," but she's going to get right back into that same mistake again? This was like somebody's poorly thought out fantasy, not anything close to how this would play out in real life. +Philip never felt he was part of the British or Chinese community, and ends up befriending a Japanese diplomat Hayato Endo, who becomes his teacher in not only the Japanese culture and language but in the art and discipline of Akido. Their friendship is deep but it comes with harsh consequences as the Japanese savagely take over the Malayan Island. +6059 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I got this one for free. It was too short. The characters were not developed, and the storyline was iffy at best. +1050 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 If you like to highlight and save clippings, be aware that while the NYT will let you do this, no content will be saved to your clipping file, just a note of the date and statement that you have exceeded your limit for this item. And of course as with all blogs highlight and notes disappear along with content as the blog up dates. The increasing restrictions on content you have paid for by the NYT is a real annoyance. +While there is a lot of test about eating fats, the traditional last third of the book giving recipes stresses ingredients such as fat free margarine, cheese, and whipped topping ' and using 'sugar free gelatin (full of wholesome sugar substitute we were warned about earlier, and artificial color and flavor) while we are told people who eat more dairy have less insulin resistance, but are these people eating dairy altered to remove fat ? +- The story's villain is about as one-dimensional as they come: he's evil and disgusting and horrible...so much so that his continued cruel actions repeatedly drew me out of the story. I kept thinking, "At least show me a reason why he's so single-mindedly vicious." + +Cheers +6555 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 This book started out very Slow with absolutely no dialogue. It took a long time to build a foundation. There were some very strong curse words that didn't show up until halfway the book. I do not read stories that have the word "G D" in them. The same story could have been conveyed without the strong language. I immediately guessed who the murderer was. I would not recommend this book to a friend. +In this book, Will fights hunger, the cold, even drugs to survive through the icebound land that is Skandia, while Horace and Halt travel through the Gallic baronies to save Will. + +191 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 In this book, Moon creates another strong female lead with a military background. However, she takes her someplace a little different than Harris and Esmay. Having read all of her previous books, I was pleasantly surprised that the usual plot twists had unusual resolutions. The characterization is good, but the plot moves a little slowly for my taste. All in all, the high quality entertainment that I expect when I pick up a Moon book, but not such a spectacular story as to merit five stars. +I searched out a novel featuring wolves and I was delighted with this novel. I recommend the book to anyone who loves animals and imagines what it would be like to become one. This may be the first story of a series, but each book stands alone. I am currently reading the second book and so far the characters don't repeat. + +Jackson paints a realistic and colorful portrait of the Appalachian Mountains while the main character, Rachel Myers, after living in Arizona for many years, reaquaints herself with the area where she was born and grew up. + +The setting is Chicago and unlike another of my favorite urban fantasy authors that sets his books in Chicago, Jordan Castillo Price gets Chicago right. Throughout the Psycops series there are 4 key characters. Vic is the main character who is police officer. He is extremely insecure, socially awkward, completely jealous of his boyfriend's former lover yet still very endearing. Vic has an absent partner, Lisa - a very funny and loving person. Then we have Jacob, Vic's serious boyfriend and Jacob's partner Carolyn. Now comes the urban fantasy part of the series - Vic, Lisa and Carolyn each possess different psychic skills and as a result, are employed by police departments to assist in solving crimes. Jacob is not psychically talented but he is very much interested in people who are. Much of the series centers on Vic dealing with his "talent", which is seeing and communicating with ghosts, using his talent to solve a crime and the interplay of Vic's relationship with Jacob. +[...] +2559 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A must for Great grandson. +This is worth reading for general information. The Selected Bibliography has a list for each chapter if you want more information. + + +9417 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I completely Love the way Paisley Smith takes you through this story. She is so good at erotic love stories. I want to read them all. The characters are completely believable. The sex is so hot you might want to keep this one by your bed. I completely sank myself in this story. She created such a erotic story line I could not stop reading. When I had to, I could not wait to get back to Annie and Emily. I will read this one many , many times!!! Get it you will love it. I did!! +Chacters well fleshed out. +9439 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I would have given a 5-star review, except for "my bad". I am not great on geography and must admit I had some stuggle with that. That said, I was completely engrossed. Everything is so plausible. The gnawing away at Ann's complacency brings her face-to-face with the world's reality. Gut-wrenching toe-to-toe survival, whether you are the aggressor or the aggrieved, may start in a grey area--but must end in only black and white. A really thought-provoking read. Shamefully, religious wars or wars in the name of religion have always been and will always be. I'll have to read it again to make sure I understand it all. Definitely worth your time. + +My only complaint about this book, is the fact that is ended so quickly. I really thought there should be just a little more. Other then that, I really enjoyed this prequel. It was great to take a look back and see how it all started. It was fun to see a Kaylee not so burden down with problems of the world on her shoulder. MY SOUL TO LOSE was a great introduction to the Soul Screamers world and it's characters. +Succubus Dreams (Georgina Kincaid, Book 3) + +This book was great and had more action then the first, though to no detriment of the smexing between Missy and Tad, which was as hot as ever. +During the Mercantilist era low interest rates ensured that only consumption-based investments could take place, such investments requiring relatively little capital expenditures, such low capital expenditures being a function of the expected return on the investment, which return is based on the low interest rate policy being followed by Mercantilist nations. Industrial ventures, on the other hand, require large expenditures of capital, such amounts only made possible by a higher rate of return that can recoup the larger capital outlay, a higher rate of return that is made possible only with higher, market-based, interest rates. +*** +1486 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Ritual Bath was engaging and informative. A true mystery introduced a star -crossed couple the proved infinitely likeable. The information concerning the Jewish ritual bath was enlightening. The mental and moral strength of the main characters was woven into discovering who was raping women in their California community. +2811 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great fun series! +5776 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love how Dave Emberson breaks down Kindle procedures into clear steps, just like making an omelet. Do this, then do that. If you follow his steps, you'll serve up a tasty banquet of new ways to enjoy your new Kindle. It's well worth the price, and his is a guide which I still consult often. Dave is also updating his book frequently, which is an additional benefit of buying it, as well as a great example of the benefits of Kindle reading versus print. + +2771 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I don't know if I can find the right words to describe this book. Horrifying? Disturbing? A masterpiece? Chilling? Beautiful? It's somehow all those things. Living Dead Girl is the story of "Alice". A 15 year old girl who was abducted when she was 9 by Ray. She is forced to withstand sexual and physical abuse on a daily basis for 5 years. +I also wish the book had been longer. It reads more like a novella, which is fine, as it suited my mood at the time, but I think it should probably be labelled as novella rather than a novel. For me, a little more depth and length is required to truly merit the label novel and this lack of depth is what caused any disappointment I felt in the book. +who is looking for a good story well told. +5. Breaking Point +7332 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 There are books that you read that you can put them down and not pick them up for weeks on end. Then there are those that you just can't wait to turn the next page. Doug your book meets the latter. Since purchasing it on my Kindle last week, I've almost completed reading it in within 1 week timeframe. That's a first for me. Even with some of the big names It normally takes 3-4 weeks for me to finish reading them. Mr. Farren please keep the series coming, you've got a dedicated fan who loves reading your G.A. series of books. +This book's soundtrack could well be the Doors' "Break on Through to the Other Side." +Is Sowell correct? Was Marx merely being terse with his handmill/steam-mill analogy? +459 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I would give this one 6 stars if possible. Robert Hicks has written a wonderful book. He intertwines fact and fiction in a manner that will hold your interest from beginning to end. I have been to Franklin, Tennessee and to Carnton, but will never look at them the same way. This work is based on a true story about a remarkable woman with passion unequaled; a passion for the dead and those facing death. You will ride an emotional roller coaster throughout this book. I have read Civil War books for many, many years and can truthfully say, "This is one of the best." + +Images of the other books in the set can be found when you click on "Look inside" on the image of the cover of these books: + +At the time when I originally read this it was the first in the series and none of the others were out, now there are 4 more. I will definitely be checking them out. +All He Ever Wanted is written in the first person through the eyes of Nicholas Van Tassel. Starting in 1899, Van Tassel is a professor of history at Thrupp--a small college in a small New Hampshire town of the same name. Van Tassel is eating dinner at the Thrupp Hotel when a fire breaks out. He gives aid to a number of other patrons, and is immediately smitten by the lovely Etna Bliss. Van Tassel embarks on a crusade to win the hand of Etna. While he's passionately in love with Miss Bliss, she shares a fondness for the professor that falls short of love. +Written in epistolary format, this eighteen page short story displays a bantering correspondence between Darcy and Elizabeth. While away on business Darcy makes the mistake of writing his lovely wife a letter containing a recital of all his business transactions from that day. Elizabeth quickly points out to him that his letter is completely lacking in sentiment and regard, and that he should not write to her as if she was his steward! As recompense for his impersonal and uninspired letter, Elizabeth demands Darcy write her a true and sincere love letter. Is Darcy up to the challenge? +I hardly ever give a negative review to a book, and out of the 190 something books I've read, this may only be the 3rd/4th book that I had to make myself finish reading....there was just no substance. +Thanks so much for this book Terry. Loved it so much. Going to rush down and get the movie now. +Rating: 7/10 +6208 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 When reading this book I recognized some of the characters....The Howard's, Catherine and of course, Henry Viii. The story of Jamie and Malcolm was enjoyable to read. The ups and downs, the misunderstandings, the adventures, the battles at sea, the friends they made all made this a good story. I will keep the McGoldrick name in mind for another time. For I love to read. +Editing issues: No +Of the two brothers, Whitey's story, not surprisingly, is the most compelling. He is truly a brutal man, not caring who he killed, be it man or woman. One of his killings was so brutal I cringed while reading it. His dealings with the FBI are mind boggling and not very reassuring. While Billy's story is less compelling, it was still interesting to read how he maneuvered his way through Boston politics and managed to snag himself a nice sized pension from U-Mass Boston. What was especially interesting about all this is the numerous mistakes he made politically and still came out on top for a long time. +7418 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Realy like this author, and look forward to anything she writes. This was a pretty good series, just not enough books. + + +9290 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I'm sorry not to give this Bible a good rating. It is hard to get to the chapters you want in a book. You can get to the book all right but getting to the chapters is a headache so I don't use it that much. +Great read and highly recommended for all ages. +8779 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Dickens With Love/Josh Lanyon + +2102 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Pretty erotic but not my cup of tea. Was a fair read if that is the kind of reading one enjoys. +4580 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great series to read. While the books tend to follow the same story line each one is a little unique and an entertaining read. + + +4831 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Code of Hammurabi, from the third millenium B.C.E., was an attempt to encode various laws into a fairly straight forward justice system. Numerous specific crimes are mentioned, along with very specific punishments. Most of the crimes revolve around things dealing with farming, buying and selling things, and debts. +Written entirely from the point of view of a stodgy male college professor circa 1900, this is the story of a passion so intense, so unlike the writer himself, that it is scarcely believable, especially when related in the stilted flowery language of the day. +This book is not like The Face on the Milk Carton. (I did love that book, though, and I do recommend it!) Living Dead Girl is written as if Scott experienced these emotions and this reality herself, and I applaud her. I don't know if I could put myself in the mind of this broken child and write her thoughts and emotions and still maintain my sense of self. +The formatting is OK. +Part flashback, part thriller, part philosophy. We get impressions, memories, thoughts, dreams--it's like being inside of Alice's head. And of course the formatting is polished and pretty. +2964 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is first experience w/this author. Every book in this bundle held my attention. Ms. Snyder has a unique gift for weaving a colorful story using all of the senses. I had a hard time putting the books down. She incorporates believable actions, thought patterns, emotions and surprising twists. Look forward to reading more by Maria Snyder. Gps +It's the worry and search for the third boy that finds Walt and Henry in a life-or-death situation. One that requires the aid of ghostly guides. + +I'm not a big fan of Howie Carr's newspaper column in The Boston Herald and almost didn't read "The Brothers Bulger" because of that. I'm glad I did. Newspaper column to the contrary, Carr can actually write and does a good job telling the Bulger's story. I've lived in the Boston area my entire life and while aware of the Bulgers I wasn't aware of the extent of Whitey's crimes or the extent of the corruption. I was also surprised at the number of local politicians and other well known Bostonians who knew what was going on with the Bulgers and looked the other way including Michael Dukakis, Kevin White, Joe Moakley, Bill Weld, and Cardinal Law. +1428 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Love this story! +1187 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love these guys! Can't say it enough! I bought the books individually, but this bundle is definitely the better way to go. Did I mention I love my Buckhorn Brothers??? :-) +This certainly isn't a plot-driven novel,but as narrator Veronica struggles to come to terms with her favorite brother's suicide which threatens her own sanity, I found I couldn't put it down. +I do find these types of books interesting, but they aren't my normal genre, and so I don't get around to them as much. And when I started it, I wasn't too sure how far it was going to go, and it definitely went farther than I was expecting. +8182 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Haven't discovered Maria E. Schneider yet?! Here's your chance to be the first one on your block to read and enjoy this fun romp in the City of Haven and its surrounding southwest wilderness. Catch an Honest Thief (A Haven Mystery) You can proudly say that you were one of the first to recognize Schneider's talent and enjoy her works.

That's story of Josh and Rebecca. +I don't speak Spanish and was not bothered by Diaz's frequent use of Spanish. I probably would have appreciated these little bits of dialogue and description quite a bit. However, I can't find criticism with Diaz for utilizing this mechanism within his novel. +2159 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 While I enjoyed "Without Reservations" I found "With Caution" to be a more interesting read. I liked the relationship between Jake (older man) and Remy (young/inexperienced). That virgin gay sex is really hot! I also appreciated the strength of the relationship between Remy and his younger brother Sterling. It is a true representation of the bond of brothers. I'm hoping there will be follow-on book since it's apparent that Sterling may have found his mate too. Not going to say more so as not to spoil the fun. +9252 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved this story. This is one of the best love stories of the older woman and younger man that I have read. When Gwen came home to take care of her mother she didn't expect to fine love, but she did and it was with someone who truly loved her. She also got pregnant with the child that she always wanted. I ordered some more of Zuri's books and they were awesome. I think that I need to read lesson....again + +8040 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a very good sexy story about two cousins Collin and Becket deSaxby who have been in competition for a servants daughter Christiana who was their friend since childhood. Beckett has her return to the castle after her father's death as she is on the verge of starvation. He has desired her forever but never acted on it. Something happened between she and Collin years ago that bothered him it was disclosed at the end. Beckett and she finally began a sexual relationship both care for each other but never admit it. She was kidnapped and rescued by a mysterious masked man caled Blackwell who has been protecting the king from an evil nobleman. Christiana knows it is Beckett who is Blackwell by a tattoo and acts sexually to him. He refuses her and is very hurt. She goes back to the Castle knowing it is over between them. He returns bringing a wife to be and her family .Tels her she has to leave which she already knows. It all works out to a HEA he finally learns she knew who he was as Blackwell. He realizes he waas jealous of his own self. I had not read any of her books before but will look for more . + +Hero was all wishy washy: he claims that no man in their right mind would claim to understand the workings of a woman's mind and yet you catch him thinking to himself that he was always arrogantly, confident in his ability to understand women. I liked that he NEVER really knew her at all let alone understood her. He tried to catergorize her with the other women from his past. I liked that she did stand up to him in some aspects. And it brought him up short near the end when he was convinced that she would tell him she loved him . . . only she didn't! + +Lower-priced sets have BRIEFLY appeared in the Kindle Store in the past several years, only to be yanked. Why? Probably for copyright reasons; these are not (all) yet in the U.S. public domain. So why hasn't this set been pulled? Is this one exclusively authorized by the copyright holder? Nowhere does it say, but as long as this publisher holds onto its monopoly, those who want to purchase a complete set of all 12 Philo Vance books for their Kindle have very little choice other than to purchase this one. Of course, from time to time some individual Vance ebooks also appear in the Kindle Store, but not all 12, and for what you'd pay for some of them, you might as well buy this set. And in truth, the overall quality of this bundle is good and the cost per book averages only $.83, so while it isn't as great a deal as some other ebook collections of "old" mysteries in the Kindle Store, the price is certainly fair for what you get. + +3356 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 There were so many bad reviews about this book, that I almost didn't read it, having enjoyed the first two books in this series so much I didn't want to ruin it. I am so glad I did read it, and I loved it as much as the first two books. I am honestly confused about everyone's displeasure. Some thought the story took too long to get going, but I didn't notice undue delay and felt the extra background information was needed for the story. Others felt Brodick's character was unrecognizable, and though I admit he had softened a bit from the first two books, I felt it was already happening at the end of the second book and largely due to being married. One of the things I really liked about this book was Gabrielle's guard and their interaction with Colm and his men. There is something enjoyable about the banter between a group of men that are close to each other, particularly when they are all protecting the same woman. I enjoyed the same thing in the second book with Brodick's guard. I enjoyed Colm and Gabrielle, and felt they were likable, engaging main characters. I also enjoyed the explanations and references to the title, Shadow Music. I highly recommend this book and series! + +1302 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A common theme of novels on the immigrant experience is the success or failure of achieving in America or blending in with the culture. In this novel the American experience is incidental, the focus is on the ghosts of the former life. +7444 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Author Jennifer Haymore grew up in Hawaii , where she surfed, learned how to fly airplanes, raced bicycles, and developed a love for sailing. She has a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from UC Berkeley and a master's degree in Education from UCLA. Before she became a full-time writer she held various jobs from bookselling to teaching inner-city children to playing bit roles in soap operas. A Hint of Wicked is her first published title. Jennifer resides in Southern California with her husband and their three children. +And there was the dreaded "I need you!" romance based entirely on the face that the two main characters had a fantastic hookup for a week at some point last year. Hello, authors! Wake up, that's not how romance works! +33 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 In this period novel, Shreve so adeptly transports us to the world of academia, staying true to the time and place through dialogue and descriptions. The main character had me alternatively feeling sorry for him, disliking him, pitying him, rooting for him, and not knowing what to think about him. Most of the time, however, I wanted desperately to find a way to free his wife of the yoke she had taken upon herself. What a talent to lead us through such an array of emotions! Interesting characters and plot - and, as usual, one doesn't want to put this book down. I was so thankful for the satisfying ending. This is one of Shreve's best and, for me, stands side-by-side with my all-time favorite, "Fortune's Rocks". +What is authentic faith in Christ? + +When I want a story that's hot, emotional, and satisfying, there is one author I always turn to. K.A. Mitchell. I know when I open a K.A. Mitchell story, I'm sure to squirm in my seat and root for the HEA. This book was no exception. The story flowed effortlessly from page to page, reeling me in and not letting up until the end. In fact, I found myself thinking about Cade and Elliot later when doing my own chores. But don't get me wrong, thinking about them aside, there were parts that drove me crazy and got under my skin. To me, an emotional attachment is the mark of a great story. This one fit the bill. + +9853 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this book. It's a great story that is beautifully written. The language is even medieval! This is a book for people who love to read and think while they're doing it. I loved the historical references to Dante, Virgil, Judas, Medusa... Very cool! Dante, who'd have thought? + +And to make matters worst, Tati has fallen in love with a mysterious and dangerous man, one who is in the company of the feared Night people, whose strengths are unknown and must drink blood to survive. Tati insists that he is harmless, but Jena is not so easily convinced, and must take it upon herself to right the circumstances and keep their family together throughout the long winter. +9224 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This book was way too short to be $7. I think I would have liked it more if it were cheaper. But all in all this book didn't live up to my expectations. +A common trope in fantasy and science fiction is one person or a small platoon defeating an entire army of hopelessly incompetent grunts. That doesnt happen in this book and the Skandians are forced to utilize guerrilla tactics in order to prevail against the tactically superior Temujai. +710 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 She's a vampire who faints at the sight of blood. He's a psychiatrist who has been known to cure phobias, and all he wants to do is take a much-needed vacation. But when he's kidnapped to be her "birthday present" suddenly she finds herself wanting to take just a nibble. +9201 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Like the message regarding the seriousness of taking a life and the constant struggle between the forces of good and evil. +6448 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is great series and I would buy any book written by Nalini, the story helps to build another layer to the community and rounds out the complexity of characters. +3971 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This little book has a lot of wisdom. +Cal is the oldest brother; he hires his ex-wife Penny to re-vamp the family's flagship restaurant that used to be the pride of the family and now is on the edge of closure. Penny is a popular new and upcoming chef in the area but does not have enough money to start her own restaurant or start a family (even if it is on her own) she desires. She accepts Cal's offer in exchange, she has a few stipulations of her own. This story is about second chances, very sweet. + +8790 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Josh Lanyon calls this a gentle erotic story. I agree and I enjoyed it very much. His characters were fun and likeable, the storyline was quite interesting. Even though I read this ebook a while back, I can still picture the scenery and settings painted by the author - well done! +Highly recommended. + + + +So, my obvious advice to those of you who have either watched or read about Walt Longmire, treat yourself to both. I don't watch a lot of TV, but when I find a show I like, I have no problem telling people about it. Reading the book is a no brainer. I cant wait to pick up the rest of the series. +Thank you Mr Johnson for such a wonderful thought provoking series. +4712 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is the complete trilogy, plus a short story, of Poison Study (Book 1), Magic Study (Book 2), and Fire Study (Book 3). +3526 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Easier to read than some of Mark's other books. Good historical overview of the third branch of our government that all citizens should read. +I have the strong feeling that Remi's character is changed a lot from the previous enstallment. In Without Reservation he is an interesting supporting character, but apart the physical beauty and a cocky attitude, no more else gave you the real impression of him. Instead he is a complex character, with a secret past which is a real twist in the actual story (no want to give off the story, so no hints on it). + +If I wasn't such a stickler for reading books in order, I would highly suggest reading this one first but, I am a stickler so, read the others first, get attached to Kadan and youll really be looking forward to his book. +6386 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 i didn't know what to expect but i really liked this it was a fun read it was romantic and tender i will read more from this author. + +1478 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 That tricky 99cent offer from Kindle worked on me. Now i want to order the others and get started reading to find out what happens to the 2 main characters. I don't generally read murder mysteries, but somehow the violence in this one was balanced with the peace-loving culture of the Jewish Yeshiva! I bounced back and forth to google to read more about vocabulary and Biblical references, so I feel I learned a few things while reading. There were a few items that dated the book, the use of beepers instead of cell phones, and a description of a computer print-out that sounded dated. Not to be picky, it just gave me a little pause to realize it wasn't an ignorant author, just earlier writing! Otherwise, a wonderful read! Now onto the next one... +1287 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book took a while to engage me as a reader: the chief protagonist is an obese youth who cannot get laid and loses himself in modern American scifi-fantasy junk. Not the most easily empathized with character, to say the least. But by the end, he and his family's history are totally sympathetic. +6619 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a well written book about survival after the SHTF. I liked the teen perspective and how they solved their problems. Their handling of mature themes, killing, sex, etc., was well done and thought provoking. Can't wait to read the next book. +The ebook is only $2.99 and it's well worth the price. Alpha & Omega is a great story and the start of a great series. I loved the novella and love the two novels in the series, Cry Wolf and Hunting Ground. I re-read them all the time. This series is set in the same world as Patricia's Mercy Thompson series, and has the same worldbuilding, but it follows Charles Cornick, the Marrok's son and his mate Anna. Anna is a great heroine. She was turned against her will and her pack tries to beat her down, but they don't succeed. Even though she doesn't have much confidence, she somehow always manages to save the day through sheer grit and determination. I can't recommend this series highly enough. I just wish Ms. Briggs would write faster. +Shane Rosario denies the wolf inside of him. Brought up by his mother to hate what he is, Shane never loses control and never changes. When Megan Warden picks him up at the airport and Shane senses his inner wolf rumbling, he is shocked but goes with the flow. One mating later, the two are at odds at their sudden relationship. +Overall, this was a well written book with good characterization of the two protagonists and a comfortable paranormal setting. And I continued thinking about it after finishing, which is usually a good sign. Though this one was dark, I enjoyed it enough that I would definitely read another book in what I expect will be a "Forces of Nature" series. +I know this book has been out for awhile, but I hadn't yet had a chance to read it. Last time I went to the salon, my nail technician was raving about it and told me I had to check it out. So I did -- and I'm so glad! + +Well, this book is every parent's nightmare. This book is for sure not for the faint at heart. There were parts that made me literally sick to my stomach. As a whole, this story is horrifying. Sad part is, this is a reality for some innocent children. This book has left what feels like a hole in the pit of my stomach. Yet I couldn't put it down and read it in one day. One I won't easily forget. + +248 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 In her best novel yet, Lisa Scottoline has once again mined her knowledge of all things Italian and the result is pure gold. "The Vendetta Defense" is the story of "Pigeon Tony" Lucia (he breeds and races pigeons), an elderly Italian gentleman who admits that he has killed his enemy, eighty-year-old Angela Coluzzi, in order to settle an ancient vendetta. In a series of flashbacks, we learn the story of Tony Lucia and Angelo Coluzzi. These two men were neighbors in a small town in Italy sixty years ago, and they were rivals for the hand of the beautiful Silvana. Silvana chose Tony Lucia over Angelo Coluzzi, and Angelo, a rabid Fascist and a vicious thug, never forgave this betrayal. Coluzzi spent his life doing everything that he could to destroy the Lucia family. For over half a century, Tony has restrained his anguish, until the fateful day when he and Coluzzi finally have it out. Judy Carrier, a hotshot lawyer in Bennie Rosato's all-female law firm, decides to take on Tony Lucia's seemingly hopeless case. While trying this case, Judy risks her life, weathers exciting and nerve-wracking courtroom battles and finds love with Frank, Tony's gorgeous grandson. Scottoline's novel is at times achingly poignant, especially during the flashbacks, and at other times, it is laugh-out-loud funny. Scottoline is politically incorrect in her depiction of the old Italian men and young Italian mobsters who live in South Philly. "The Vendetta Defense" works as a light and entertaining mystery, and I recommend it unreservedly. Fans of Scottoline will fall in love with Judy and Pigeon Tony, and they will enjoy this wonderful novel immensely. +270 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Im reading the Manifesto in 2018, and even in the context of the failed communist experiments around the world in the last century, the ideas of Marx and Engels appear aggressively radical, even for our days. One can only imagine the shocking paradigm-changing tone of the Manifesto in the early days. Although today they seem just easily laughable and nave, the genius of Marx, transcends through a formidable understanding of the history of economic sociology. He failed to see, though, that humans are evolved to be voracious and such nature is the key element of progress an at the same time, the main obstacle for the deployment of his pro-proletarian call. + +5284 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Dave Ramsey has been known as a man who has helped guide many people out of financial debt to reach a place finances are managed responsibly and successfully. Thomas Nelson has just re-released the Classic Edition of Ramsey's book TOTAL MONEY MAKEOVER. +Tad and Missy are characters that I simply fell in love with and who I wanted to see have a happy ending. I was quickly absorbed in their story and Ms. Arend held my attention and interest from the very beginning up until the very end. But what really sells this story is the depth of emotion these characters have. Tad's willingness to give up his happiness so that Missy might find her soul mate, is just heartbreaking. +2914 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Talk about to the point.

Her mission is just about accomplished when she senses her Alpha standing right behind her..."oops." +7192 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great book. "Action" all the way. Had to read it whithout pauses +Mark Twain Examiner +Remi is the poster child for abused children. His father is a psychopath whose idea of fun is terrorizing his family and because he is a Rez Policeman with lots of power no one dared question him until Jake shows up on the scene. Remi's character is very vulnerable and submissive and the hint of BDSM in the story went well with his persona. I really felt for him in his fight to protect his brother and his mother, while at the same time keeping his relationship with Jake a secret from his father. His turnaround in standing up to his father was precipitated when Sterling shows up with bruises on his body and he knows that he can't close his eyes any longer to the abuse, so he asks Jake to help him bring his father to justice. +Easy 5 stars. +This is my first Karen Rose book and was pleasantly surprised. + +3732 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another thrilling, exiting and superb book, full of suspense, and venture and humour.

OH NOOOOOOOO, I caaaaaaant, I am hopelessly in LUV. + Many do not know that Zuckerburg was offered millions for a software program he and his partner designed in high school. He turned it down and went on to college. Through the book you see that it is really not about the money. Like many entrepreneurs it is about creating, following a dream, and making a difference. He just didn't care about the material things, living in a bare apartment and donning blue jeans,a T shirt and sandals even while he was a billionaire on paper. +While at times the complex storyline made the book drag a little - every sentence had a reason for being there, you just might not realize it yet. Definitely not a book for those wanting a quick run through a fantasy land, this book requires a bit of concentration - but it's well worth the effort. About half way through things just started falling into place and I had a hard time putting it down. +6470 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Still reading. +5405 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Ok, so I know the premise was slightly ridiculous. And I know that Lila pretty much prostituted herself out to Hunter to save her father's business but, surprisingly, I really enjoyed this book. It was just a well written story. Parts that would normally make me roll my eyes somehow didn't. Even though Hunter is demanding and seemingly merciless to Lila in the beginning, the author does a good job of getting us inside his head so we know he's not just being a jerk for being a jerk's sake. In a way he was right, it was a business arrangement and they both knew why she was there. Lila is no pushover and I found her resolve refreshing without being overbearing. The sex scenes are HOTTTT, yes, even when Lila can't stand him or so she thinks. I loved the gradual progression of their friendship and the realization of their feelings. Loved the scenes with Lila and the dogs, which allowed Hunter to first get a glimpse into his feelings for Lila and I enjoyed their dinner conversations. When things got comfortable between them, it gave me the warm fuzzies. I pretty much loved everything about the book. I knocked one star off because I thought that the way that Hunter chose to end their contract was unnecessarily lame and only served to throw in a twist. There was no need for that and it was the only thing that spoiled the book for me. Of course, they got back together so all's well that ends well. +One of his most salient points is that we are able to think in a fashion that decouples us from reality. That is, we are able to think about things and people who are not present, who may not even exist, make and test alternative plans of action and all without enacting on any of them. This allows us to accept that there might be those whose presence and actions we can not see. +adore it. I bought it last year and it's just so interact. It's about a young boy who's father trades him in a treaty to their King. The King makes him his Leman or mistress. later the King is forced to marry his cousin. The consort is greatly disliked, but yet the King ties to be friends wth him and continuely tries to impregnate him. but The King is in love with his Lamen. there is war, corruption, scandel and murder and crime and ancient rituel. it Celtic and medieval tymes. it got magic. the King is a good&fair ruler & is a good Monarch. basicly if you like or love: Merlin, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, & Harry Potter & if you don't mind a world populated only my men then this is for you. by the way it does have extensive & graphic sex scenes however, it is not disgusting. they use words like shaft & silken muscle instead of cock & anus. so all in all it's a much nicer story than most. +The first TV episode had some fact inaccuracies and I read the book paying particular attention to the details. I was surprised when I found that the origin of the episode's inaccuracies originated with the author. He apparently uses the Internet to insert details as he obviously knows NOTHING about firearms or American history. Johnson needs to have someone knowledgeable in both areas to fact-check his books prior to being published. +4385 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a short story that give you an insight to the series of On The Edge .. Brett owner to a club that not only caters to Vampire but humans as well.. and his girlfriend of 11 months...

I kept waiting for her to take hold of her situation as when the story began she was a feisty young think making it on her own but... +656 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I liked the concept of the book more than the actual book: Vampire Mom kidnaps handsome psychologist to treat her hemaphobic Vampire daughter so she will no longer faint at the sight of blood, thereby freeing her daughter from feeding "off the hoof" and IV transfusions. The daughter, however, mistakes the good doctor for her "birthday dinner" and grabs a quick bite with ensuing misadventures aplenty. Dialogue doesn't really flow between characters and the plot is somewhat anemic, like the heroine. It was really difficult to reconcile the concept of a hundreds-year-old vampire wearing Spider-Man footie pajamas. Just saying. This had all the makings of a witty, romantic, comedy, but it just pales in comparison to the author's historical offerings. +The language was a bit clichd in places, but the characters are very likeable and the plot maintains its pace throughout. +9368 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 trick was great but the heroine was even better she was a force to be reckonedd with even at a young +Maggie is the younger sister of Missy from book two, and Erik is the Beta (second in command) of the Granite Lake pack. Maggie left the north seven long years ago right before her sister's horrible first marriage. She has come home to try and heal from a chemical imbalance that has weakened her terribly. Missy feels that if Maggie gets around other wolves the pheromones they put off may help her to heal. Maggie has a great fear of all things wolf; because of the horrible pack they were a part of when she was younger. For two years her sister has been telling her that the Granite Lake wolves are nothing like the wolves she was used to, but she still has the deep fear that is hard to let go of. +Jesse is sweet and loving. Kit is strong and loyal. Putting the two together in the flesh after spending so much time together in their dreams makes for some steamy scenes. R.G. can write a great scene that draws you right in with the characters. I loved the character of Max and I hope he can have a book of his own, and I can't wait to read the next book in the series and find about about Hannah and Jasyn. + +When Sophie's husband, Garrett, died at the battle of Waterloo , it was their childhood friend, Tristan who picked her up and helped the Duchess of Calton get over the tragedy. Giving her body and soul to him, Tristan introduced her to a passion she never knew. Now married seven years later, they are happy with their newly formed family and life together. That is until Garrett returns and wants his land, his title, and his wife back. Garrett, scarred in both body and mind, will do anything to regain all of his memories and make up for lost time. Unsure which man she is even legally married to, Sophie is forced to choose between the childhood love from then, and the best friend she grew to love after. As the two men battle for her affections, Sophie begins to question the motives behind the man Garrett brought home with him- a supposed confidant and war hero. They soon discover that this is more than a question of love, it is a dangerous game of revenge and reprisal. One in which someone may not survive. +6295 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Kim Vogel Sawyer is a great Christian story teller, and I'm glad I was able to read this book. Thank You Lord for good Christian writers. + +9363 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What a great book. The twist and turns in this story keeps you guessing. You think you know the secrets but the author makes sure you don't. There's some suspense & a huge secret that causes mistrust and hate between the hero and heroine. But no matter the friction between this couple the passion and fire ignites and they just can't seem to stay away from each other. This is a smokin hot erotic romance that you'll not want to put down. +Oh, as per usual, editing: My recall of the editing was that I found nothing wrong. No spelling mistakes, or grammatical gaffs at all - and I was reading it at an unusually slow pace... for me. + + +The most controversial aspect of this tome is how Will becomes addicted to a drug called Warmweed, that the Skandians use to keep their slaves in line. It turns Will into a shuffling, mindless, drone. Leaving Evanlyn to care for him. Some may argue that portraying drug addiction, fictional it may be, is a detriment to the narrative as it sissifies the main character of Will. Also, the fact of dealing with drugs in a series intended for young readers could turn off many readers. +Lord Demon's Delight is the first book I have ever read by Gia Dawn and it won't be the last. I am officially hooked on the Demons of Dunmore series, and I can't wait for the next installment. Lucky for me, I only have to wait a couple more months until the second book releases called, Lady Strumpet. + +9465 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I am a huge fan of all of Felicity's books. Winter's Kiss was another epic romance that took a hold of me even after I had finished the book. It amazes me how a being with no beating heart and that is cold to the touch can have such a giant loving "heart" Winter will melt you. This is another installment in the Vampires Realm Series. The entire series is exceptional and will not disapoint you. + +All in all, I think it's a fairly good amount of information for the casual reader presented as an entertaining and brief read. Certainly it captured and held my interest. +8810 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I like receiving this daily blog. I've tried several blogs, but this is the only one I've kept over a few days. Why? I like that he posts several free books every day (at least he hasn't missed a day since I've been receiving it). And, he gives the Amazon description. He includes many types of books rather than sticking to one or two types. I will keep purchasing this blog because of the reliability of posting, the varied types of books featured, and the helpful Kindle info. + +When they reach Tiburon Lily goes into the general store to buy some food and sees a bottle of honey with the exact picture of the black Madonna she has on it and asks about it. It turns out a group of local black women make the honey and they live in a crazy pink house. So Lily and Rosaleen go there to meet up with the Calander sisters: May, June, and August. There was a July, May's twin sister, but she died years ago quite tragically leaving May devastated and carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders and unable to cope. The sisters convinced her to build a wailing wall in which to place the things that bother her on a piece of paper into the crevices. June is a talented cello player and a school teacher who keeps turning down the principal's offer of marriage due to the fact that she was left at the altar years ago. June doesn't like or trust Lily. August is full of warmth and kindness and takes them in with open arms and teaches Lily the beekeeping business. Zach, a handsome black high school boy helps her with the business and he and Lily hit it off right from the start. +3814 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 How do you review a book that's been in print for almost 2000 years? Many have come before me, so I will be brief. Suetonius was one of the most credible historians of his day, so his accounts of the period have been the source for countless treatises and novels about Ancient Rome,(including mine.) One of the things that distinguishes him was his ability to report the rumors as well as hard, documented facts on the topics of his day, making it possible to get a sense of how Romans actually thought about things. Like opening a window in time and looking into his world. It's always a good idea to cross check any historic account and this holds true for him as well. But the value of knowing the kitchen details of the Old Empire can never be exaggerated. His sense of humor and irony makes a fun read about a colorful age in history. +CHARACTERS: Undeveloped and silly. These were supposed to be Norse gods, but they somehow all came across as the cast of a bad tv series. There was no depth. Their actions felt forced because they weren't given room to develop and they were almost all interchangeable. I couldn't tell them apart except by checking which name was mentioned and then assigning the dark hair to one and the light hair to the other and giving up on the supporting characters. Also, given all of the various relationships it seemed vaguely incestuous... + +I adore the series completely because it's not typical. The vampires and the wolves aren't standard for this industry, uniquely drawn with their own internal problems within their kind and a deep history that weaves them as protectors for humanity until things go screwy. What was so wonderful about this book is all that rich history about not only the vampires and the wolves, but the gods and goddesses themselves and the guards' own beginnings. +7785 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A balding, 60-year-old who lives with his mother is our unlikely but lovable hero! When some of his classmates from high school start getting killed, he launches his own un-official investigation which drives the local police crazy. It had just the right amount of humor and suspense to build a fine story. It was going along at a five-star pace, but the ending had, in my unique opinion, some unnecessary twists and turns which added a little to the story line. This is not to say that overall it wasn't a great book, it is just that it could have ended successfully in about 30 or so fewer pages. The main character, however, made the book and is firmly locked in my memory! +3725 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Yet another well written installment in the Ranger's Apprentice series. We follow Will through another action packed and adventurous portion of his life as an apprentice ranger. +2947 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Okay... at first I wasn't to sure how I would feel about the book given its stalkerish description. But I loved it. I found myself laughing a lot in the first couple of chapters while at the same time believing the chemistry. My only complaint is that it is rather short. + +I've read a few of the reviews that say his blog is too heavy with (insert genre name here) and I can only think they haven't give the blog enough of a chance. I see books offered from most categories at some point. The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure he mentioned that he's not a sci-fi fan, but I've ended up liking a lot of his selections...he has a good method of deciding which books to include in the blog, I guess. +Nick has been Lacey's best friend for the past 5 years so when he heard that she was finally single again, he didn't waste a minute. He wanted to be with her, to console her, but also to take the opportunity to make her see him as more than a friend. He has loved Lacey for so long that he would do anything to show her how good they could be together. He would do anything for her, even if he had to pretend to be her "sexual teacher". +Strong willed and independent Jenna has a good heart and a lot of compassion for friends and students alike, but has a tendency to assume too much responsibility and fails to let those who love her take care of her...even when she needs it. Steven is utterly at a loss with one son who suddenly seems to hate him and another who hasn't recovered from his trauma. His aunt won't stop setting him up with blind dates and the very thing that makes him so good at his job - his dedication - is causing so many problems with his family he feels almost like he's hiding from them. +156 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Elizabeth Moon is always on the top of my to-buy list. I actually bought this copy for my son. He's liking it a lot. EM always writes well written, well researched, believable fantasy/ "space opera" and I know when I buy something she's written I will like it. +This series continues to captivate. Mr. Flanagan has a real knack for describing the strategy and actuality of skirmishes and battles, as well as for building an interesting and detailed world. Best of all, the Ranger's Apprentice books tell stories you WANT to read about characters you truly admire. +A quick read and would gladly read this author again. + + +1781 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Extremely enlightening. +I admit. I prefer my vampires to be traditional, but I can adapt and have enjoyed the True Blood Series (early books) Dead Until Dark: A True Blood Novel: 1 (Sookie Stackhouse), Black Dagger Brotherhood Dark Lover: Number 1 in series (Black Dagger Brotherhood Series), I can even do the comedic in the Undead series Undead and Unwed (Undead/Queen Betsy) . However, this felt like one of those old black and white movies where one of the gang has a problem and everyone gathers together for a sing along and by the end everything is fixed and everyone is happy even the old curmudgeon. +9647 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book as well written, which is greatly appreciated. The characters really have some depth, and there was some action and minor conflict as well. The romance was exactly what you expect in a shifter story (the standard mate thing), which was well played out and not overly obtrusive, although it served as the basis for the entire story, of course. I enjoyed this book immensely, and would recommend it. My only minor complaint is that it could have been so much better if it were longer. I read the whole thing in about 3 hours. +1698 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I like Catherine Coulter's FBI books. This book was complicated, and for me not easy to follow, and some parts just too strange. I never quite figured out who the female character was in relation to the current "hero", or why the character in the past owed her a debt. In comparing to a favorite book, "Secrets of Witches" by D. Hearkness (not sure of spelling her name) this just falls way short, and short of the FBI/CIA series. Her characters are somewhat predictable. + + +9406 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Very nicely written. A good story. Could have been a tad bit longer tho but enjoyable. I hope they extend this into a series. + +1568 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One of my favorite books by an excellent author! +Right from the start the books grabs you and holds you until the end! + + + + +THE WALLFLOWER +638 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I Loved this story very much about the beautiful Lissianna and the hunk Dr. Gregory Hewitt and I love my Hardback Book + +- ribbon bookmark + +unhappy the outcome. Is this not the point of our existence?" +The glycemic load does more than look at what is in the foods you eat, but also in the serving size that it comes in. As Dr. Thompson puts it, "Low carb dieting suddenly becomes a pleasure" when you take into account the glycemic load. +Hot-Blooded Husbands ~ Book 1 of 4 + +3707 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Often, the best fiction stories are those that transport us to distant lands and take us away from our mundane lives. The Icebound Land accomplishes that goal nicely. The narrative follows two stories. In one, Will and Evanlyn deal with their new lives as captives of a Viking-type society. In the other, Halt and Horace travel through a Malory-inspired land replete with knights issuing challenges at bridges. The prose is straightforward enough to be read by young readers (my daughter devoured the series while in fourth grade) yet is by no means too juvenile for more mature readers. +1125 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I completed a rough estimate of the explicit scenes and discovered +9106 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Being honest here. Thought the book was great. Yes, William and Jenny had great connection. This book does a good job in describing and having a connection between the two of them- as far as dialogue, and sharing emotion. Not just hot scenes (although, there is that!) +4479 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I purchased this out of curiosity and I couldn't even finish it. This is one of those books that will scar you for life, like Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann. It is by far a horrible thing to have to go through and i felt pity for the girls.. +*SPOILER* +All in all a good read. + +Hailey and Gage figure it out with the help of family and friends, just the way it should be. +In the novel, Walt Longmire is a grumpy, overweight, gone-to-seed aging man with a creative sense of humor and a big heart. In the TV series, Walt isn't so grumpy, not overweight, and has not yet gone to seed, with a sense of humor and a big heart. I think the TV series wouldve failed miserably if the producers had cast the novels version of Longmire. Its one thing to read about a, fat, grumpy, gone-to-seed character, and quite another to watch them be grumpy, overweight, and gone-to-seed on a TV screen. +Some of the stories told in this volume were dense with names and required a private scorecard to keep the names of the players straight. Chapter 14 and Chapter 15 are two examples of such a phenomenon. The tally of the Dalton Gang at the Coffeyville robberies are easily computed from the story as described in Chapter 21. By my count Baldwin, Cubine, Brown, and Connelly were the four citizens killed and Reynolds, Ayres, and Gump survived - despite Ayres getting shot in the head. +are reported here. The book was occasionally confusing because of chapters beginning in a place and time different from +124 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Unfortunately, I believe this is the last collection of Chandlers available. + + +9281 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What a cute short read. Loved the storyline between the Brooks and the boys!!! I loved when Ryan realizes he loves her! +1254 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Book got me out of my funk. +1123 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Lady Jessaline Nolan has lived a horrible life at the hands of her father, the Lord of the House of Nolan. Jessaline lives like a prisoner in her home, and is beaten or whipped at any display of defiance. In a final display of his control of Jessaline, Lord Nolan has arranged her marriage to the bastard son of a Catholic Bishop. However much Jessaline may want to leave her father's home, her betrothed is not a better option. He has shown himself to be equally as cruel as Lord Nolan and he will be able to hurt her in more ways than beating. +This book does much more then lay a foundation for a new series. It is a very good read in its own right. + +I will definitely check out other books by this author.
