I love a good story about a library and this one counts. Isabella is at the library, and she is not Isabella. One moment she is Peter Pan, then Captain Nemo, and even Alice in Wonderland. She knows that when you read you can go on any adventure to places near and far, and that if you have a Library Card, those adventures are usually free. This book has great illustrations, a cute story and is not too long to read at Toddler Time. It even has a short synopsis about each book mentioned.

Knitting gritty is one of the best knitting instructional books I have ever read. What make it so great are the real pictures that go with every step of a process. The handy hints and notes to knitters are things that don’t come up in other knitting books and are helpful to basic & experienced knitters. Admittedly, I do not like any of the patterns, but it’s a great textbook like tool.
Love, love, love this book. It’s a short(ish) coffee table style book about being you and trying new things. These tips are short and sweet but can create big impact on your home\life. My favorites are name your house ( I think I’ll call mine Porcupine Peek). Learn to love wind chimes (I do!) and rethink your bookshelf (which I have often).
Lauren Brant has been married to a man she barely knows for the last five years. Her marriage was a business arrangement but it’s time to break free. She plans to submit to her first master ever, her husband Jacob. This was a nice start to a serialized novel. Erotic without being over the top. However, the romance enthusiast in me wishes me her husband had actually been looking for her or knew it early on and was cultivating a deeper relationship.

This is a new and interesting take on a zombie romance. Kee is the alpha in a group of un-dead lab rats. Ben is his zookeeper and protector. Luckily Ben hates his job. Testing on reanimated humans is not something Ben imagined he would be doing with his life. Even more straining is that he is imagining lustful scenarios with Kee, a living being who is not dead but not human. Kee is like a new baby boy. Limited vocal skills but big, powerful and eager to learn. While he doesn’t know Ben besides as his captor, he wants to take care of and protect Ben, and turn his frown upside down. Overall a very interesting read. It’s not the first book in the series, but that does not hinder the reader in any way.

I love a good retold fairy tale, and this one qualifies. That being said, it is a little predictable.
Rosemund has been locked away all her life because she has been cursed to sleep for 100 years. At birth she was betrothed to Seth who is supposed to wake her up with a true love kiss to break the spell. Seth will do his duty by Rosemund because he can never forget the shy sheltered little girl he found hidden away in her father’s castle. The only snag in this plan is Kira, his best friend, guardian and protector. Kira like the rest of the kingdom knows of the engagement but she can’t help falling in love with her best friend. My only problem with the story is that the author is trying to write a historical style novel but the wording, actions, etc are too modern. Pick a genre and stick to it please.

I love how this author turns a fairy tale. In this tale the ugly beast is a hardworking man and not a bewitched prince. He is a hard worker with a standoffish personality. Nissa is the local teacher. She loves Benton just the way he is. Benton wants to be someone Nissa could love. So he makes a deal with a fairy god-mother to become a beautiful man. The catch is he can never tell anyone who he once was. But the heart wants what the heart wants. And you shouldn’t have to be someone different to get what your heart desires. I love the twist this author puts on this tale, however once again the historical aspect is convoluted and the story tries to be more erotic when I think it should be sensual.

I love this book for the feted characters and the ability to cut a story to seven words.

The Pleasure Project: The Science of Pleasure / Project Seduction / A Pirate's Pleasure

This is a compilation of three terrific stories. Each of these stories could have been flushed out into full books. I wished they were. In Jax’s story a new race of super humans are trying to love and love in an evolving society. Project seduction is about a futuristic prostitute trying to go straight. Cassie Ryan brings pirates into space and into your sheets.
