Wow -- another wonderful book from Kyra Davis. I really enjoy how Kyra can change her tone with each and every book she writes; one just has to read the Sophie Katz series, Just One Night, and this to see how drastically and masterfully she can change her tone (haven't read So Much For My Happy Ending yet but it is on my radar). I really enjoyed how we were drawn into Bell's world and her plan, as well as seeing the still human and vulnerable side of her with her encounters with Lander, who is an interesting case in and of himself. It was also good to see her encounters with the other members of the Gable family and see how easily she could don a different hat with each and every one of the. I sure am happy I waited until I had all three and was in the right mindset to read these because as with the Just One Night series it did leave on a cliffhanger! Starting the next one right now!

It was enjoyable and I will probably try to find and read the others in the series. I did find the ending to this one to be a little too abrupt though and that the romance seemed kind of escalated (as in I don't feel that they hero and heroine really got to know each other very well before falling into love) but it was still an enjoyable read. It is interesting to read a period piece with a supernatural flair though and I loved the banter between the wolves in the book which is another reason I will be searching for the others as well.

This is a hefty book not even going to lie. It took me a bit to get through it but as it is a classic I figured I should. It is a good book though -- once you can get into the constantly changing voices as well as put yourself into the mind frame of the time you can see why this this book and even the story has lasted throughout the years. There is a bit of anti-climatic feelings while reading it since most people know the lore of Dracula well enough to know what's happening but again if you can make yourself read it without thinking too much on that you will see why it was a great horror novel of its time.

One complaint I have is the end was abrupt. There was a huge build up and not a lot of action. Otherwise a good read and I am glad I managed to get through it!

I enjoyed these little "slices" of stories. It did get kind of confusing on whether or not they were short stories or autobiographical but it didn't bother me so much I didn't enjoy the stories. I also enjoyed the spiritual tie ins and the scripture that was at the end of every chapter. Very enjoyable and perfect for a quiet afternoon where you want to read but don't want anything too heavy.

I think I have found a new favorite historical romance author. I really enjoyed this book and reading more about the Valentine family. I'm a sucker for historical romances and family linked novels so this one was perfect for me. The humor was good and the pacing as well. She also did a good job of planting the seeds for the others in the series as well without leaving too big of a cliffhanger.

I did enjoy this book a bit more than the other one I read by this author (even though I have a few others in my TBR file) possibly because of the action that was in it. The pacing was good and I will admit that I did not see the end coming even though I thought I had it all figured out. The only thing that got under my skin was the language of the narrator -- it was almost like trying too hard to sound like a male and an alpha one at that and that got a bit tiresome after awhile. Overall though a good book and I may end up picking up more in the series. ^_^
