Fallen #3 has Luce and Daniel traveling through time looking for something or someone to help break their curse. To catch up those who are new to the series. Daniel is a fallen angel and Luce, a human, is his eternal love. She has never lived past the age if 18, every time she kisses Daniel she dies. While Luce’s exploration through time may reveal a secret to staying alive, it could also damage the past and change the future. This title while important to the overall scope of the series, could have been better. How ever, the twists and turns leave the reader wondering what will happen next.

The sequel to Al Capone Does My Shirts picks up right where book one ends. Moose Flanagan asks Al Capone for help. He wanted to make sure his sister got into the special school she desperately needed. Al Capone lent his hand and now it’s Moose’s turn to return the favor. But is it a good idea to grant a favor to a convict? This is a stunning conclusion to a fabulous series. This goes on my personal must read list!

This title starts off the Inn Boonsboro series. We all had a first love, even if the receiver wasn’t aware of it. Becket fell in love with the girl down the street, and now he has a chance to make something happen after all these years. Clare and Beckett are working with the rest if the Montgomery clan to fix up and reopen the Boonsboro. This is a charming story but the ghosts could have been left out. If you want to write a cozy romance, then write one. If you want to have a ghost story then have at it. But why do the two need to meet. The story is nice, but will turn off many readers who do not like the supernatural elements.

I can not decide if I want a book #4 or not. Amelia guy is back in Charleston to help John Develin escape his ghosts. After her trip to Asher Falls she was looking forward to a few less life threatening ghosts, but her plans go awry as the spirits learn how to pass into her sanctuary. One such ghost is Robert Fremond who needs help finding his killer. I thought the story wrapped up way to quickly. I would have liked it drawn out a little more. Plus it’s almost as if vital information is missing. It makes the ending almost bitter sweet. Almost everything is wrapped up so if there is not a #4, its ok, but if there is a #4 I will be reading it.

Robert Sutton is a military lieutenant in futuristic London. His team is one of the last strongholds of uninfected humans. Its 2025 but since they are trapped in the tower of London its hard not to picture a medieval setting. The world is infected with a disease spread through sex, and it turns people into a type of zombie. Nicholas Rider is a prisoner and while he was once infected he is now immune. If Sutton and Rider can come together they can help spread the cure and take back the world. The sex is mundane, and the action lack luster. Wanted more from this story then I was given.

For those who love to read but don’t want the rest of the world to know what you read, you get an e reader. They all look alike to the casual observer. Vickie Renard can now read her favorite BDSM novel with no one the wiser, until she accidently drops it in the elevator. New photographer Red knows the story, and believes Vickie will be the perfect sub to his dom. While Vickie finds the idea intriguing she doesn’t know that Red is actually her new multi-millionaire boss who is undercover to learn about his newly acquired business. This read is BDSM light but quite enjoyable. Fair warning there is a lot of steamy sex

Tianna McIntyer recently ended her non-functional marriage. Her brother’s best friend Alex Mendoza is on military leave. He has always craved Tianna, but she has always been off limits. This time around Alex plans to have Tianna even if he has to use ties and knots to get it done. A flowing read that is both erotic and romantic.

The worst thing a boyfriend can call you is frigid. After dumping him, Alisa Mane decides to indulge in a little sexual experimentation. After visiting an adult toy store and trying out a few items, Alisa becomes a tester for Solo Play’s new line of personal gratification toys. Solo Play developer Mark Winters is launching a new line meant for couples. There is only one tester for him. He will do anything for Alisa to test his new toy line even if he has to be her partner. I like this book. I love that Alisa decides to learn for her self what she likes in bed. She does not need a man but the fun doubles when she gets one!

This is a classic I remember from my childhood. Reading it again as an adult made the tale even more special because I have learned to read between the lines at what is really happening. It’s the 1930’s and the story follows a colonial family through the trials and tribulations of living through turbulent times. The Logan family is lucky they own their land while most of the others around them share crop. This moving story looks at social prejudice and injustices that stood the test of time for 30 years. It spawned two sequels and is still required reading in many of today’s schools.

We all have fantasies. Lauren is on a ski trip bachelor/bachelorette party weekend with her sister and fiancé. Lauren has had a crush on Pierce, her coworker and Crystal’s fiancé. This is not her ideal trip to begin with but to top it off she hates to ski. While everyone is partying in the bar, Lauren spots a guy with a black bandana hanging out of his pocket. She is sure he is flagging, stating to those in the know that he is into S&M and like to top/dominate. Jamie gives Lauren the night of her life, but could there be more? This read was thoroughly enjoyable. The perfect length and just the right amount of S&M for the casual reader.
