I’m in No Mood For Love

By: Rachel Gibson

She’s a good writer and everything but I don’t see what all the fuss is about. The books aren’t that great. The romance is there, the humor is there and yet your left with an average romance every time. It’s not bad but I’ll forget I read this book before the end of the week.

book 28

Wedding For One and Tattoo for Two

By: Dawn Atkins

Good but again neither book was all that, and I wasn’t all that crazy about the first story. I wasn’t crazy about the main charaters. Again. Another example of why I should stop buying short stories.

Practice Makes Perfect

By: Julie James

Yes give me more. I loved it just as much as her first book.

Book 30

(I am so ready to not do this anymore. Only a couple more left.)

The Wicked Games of a Gantleman

By: Jillian Hunter

It was good but I couldn’t tell you much on what happened in the book because it’s been awhile and it’s all fuzzy. I love this authors books but they don’t stick out for me much. I like her and I get a lot of her books but her plots are hard to get into mostly because I’m usually not into them in the beginning, but with her I always get sucked in because there fun.

book 31

Seduced At Midnight

by:Jacquie D’Alessandro

 Took me forever to get through this. I wasn’t crazy about the main character because she was the type that felt sorry for herself throughout the whole book and it got me tired after awhile. You never forgot her situation as being engaged to someone she didn’t love for one second and it just got old.

One Forbidden Evening

By: Jo Goodman

Slow to get into but it gets better.

Blood Magic

By: Jennifer Lyon

I read it and I will read the second book when it comes out. It sorta reminds me of The Black Dagger Brotherhood series. It doesn’t even compare but it’s still good.

DONE.

So okay I have a little to catch up on. I should be here into sometime next week. But I want to put the books away and out of sight. I am determined to keep this up and so I keep them on the nightstand. and now there are books everywhere, and after I hit 50 of these fuckers I’m not giving a shit about writing what I liked or didn’t like about the books. I’m just writing the title. This isn’t my thing. I don’t care to write down what I liked or didn’t like about a book. It’s a personal opinion anyway. What I love someone else might hate. Unless it’s a really bad book I could give a shit about writing about it. Anyway… onto getting these books onto a website and out of mind.

Into the Shadow By: Christina Dodd

It was a weird book in which the bad guy really was a bad guy but… he really wasn’t. At least not my defintion on a bad guy. I liked the book but I have a bad case of expecting-something-else. I thought that the book was going to be one way and it turned out to be something different so I never really knew what to think. It was enjoyable and I didn’t hate it though so I guess thats something.

Only Mine

By: Elizabeth Lowell

It was good but nothing different if you ask me. I really couldn’t tell you much about it now since I read this awhile ago, but I can tell you that I was glad when I enjoyed because I had some other books by her and I had never even read her before.

Must Love Mistletoe

By: Christie Ridgway

The book was good. I enjoyed the book. I loved the book. I hated the ending. I HATED THE ENDING. It wasn’t a bad ending it just happened out of nowhere and everything happened so fast that I was left confused at the end. BAD ENDING.

The Mercenary

By: Cherry Adair

This was one of her first books and you could tell. I wasn’t crazy about it. It was a bad case of average and if I had read this book first instead of one of her older books I would not have come back for more.

Men of Courage

By: Lori Foster…

I’ve found that colab’s move to fast for my taste. I used to like them and now I just want them to fade away into the backround and never be found. Everything happens to fast to be anything special. It sucks that I have a few other books like this to get through.

Okay, so I fail at this. I find it kind fun to write about what I’ve read. It allows me to know how much I actually can read in a year but this is turning out to be a job when I don’t write anything for awhile. I’ve been busy. Thats my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Book 20

Always and Forever By: Linda Howard…

This was a colab of sorts. Three different stories by three different authors and I can tell you right now that theres nothing inspired about the first two stories and I really couldn’t tell you about the last because I gave up before I started. After two blah stories I didn’t want to read another one. I can tell you that they were not only not inspired but you could tell that there wasn’t a lot of effort put into any of these stories. I didn’t hate them but I really didn’t care about them either.

Rating (failure) average 2 stars

book 21

Enchanting Caroline

By: Patricia Cabot

For any of you who don’t know Patrica Cabot is Meg Cabot’s other name that she wrote under for awhile. I enjoy Patricia Cabot a lot more over Meg because her historicals, while typical, are so much more inspired then the stuff that she comes out with now. She wrote like an adult. I don’t like how she writes now and I can tell you with honesty that the two styles are completely different from one another. The story however in this one didn’t pull me all that much and I wasn’t as crazy about it as the others, but I still did enjoy it and I still do remember most of what happened in the book which I usually don’t do because I forget books like seconds after reading them.

Rating: 3 stars (she’s done better)

book 22

How To Marry a Marquis

By: Julia Quinn

Wow. I loved the book. What more is there to say. I loved the characters and I loved the plot but whats weird is I can’t remember the ending… hold on… right I didn’t like the ending that much. It was romantic and everything and I didn’t hate it but sometimes I have an idea of how a book should end and this wasn’t it sadly. It was still a really good book.

Rating 4 1/2 stars

Book 23 (and then I’m done for the night)

Secret Life of a Vampire

Kerrelyn Sparks

There was a shock factor involved in this book and it worked in the beginning. I liked that they kept a lot of the “rules” that I have for vampire novels and I could bond with the characters, however the story itself didn’t mesh with me. The main character annoyed me a bit. You would think that a cop would have more of an issue with trusting a vampire but this one didn’t. It could have been more thought out. I think it was just one of those book where I didn’t like the plot, because I didn’t have issues with much of anything else.

Rating( I usually can’t give that when I don’t really have an issue with the writing. there has to be flaws the made me really not like the book)

However I will say that the main characters should have been more developed.
