My Review of:"Motorcycle Man" (Dream Man #4)

Motorcycle Man (Dream Man, #4)Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*** ARC generously supplied by Netgalley.com, in exchange for an honest review***

After having revisited this awesome read, produced by KA herself, all I can say is that this book does not disappoint at all. It's chock full of delicious drama, hawt sex, and memorable characters.

In 2012, I read this book, and declared it to be "another winner by Kristen Ashley. Totally loved it... This story did not disappoint."

Almost 2 years after having read "Motorcycle Man," I still believe that it is one of KA's crowning achievements.

Giving this one 4 delicious stars...

My Review of: "Jabril (Vampires in America #2) "

Jabril (Vampires in America #2)Jabril by D.B. Reynolds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

***ARC generously supplied by Netgalley.com, in exchange for an honest review***

After having read this paranormal tale of a heartless vampire bastard, and the tough Chica who kicks a lot of ass and takes plenty of names, all I can say is that I really liked the way that D.B. Reynolds built this world of vamp lovers, haters, and all around sadists. Reading Raphael & Cyn's story has made me thirsty for more books written by D.B.

The only things that I didn't like were the moments of lagging in the 1st half of the book, along with the way the sex scenes were written, other than that, this story had some moments of brilliance that compelled me to stick with it until the end.

Giving this book, 3.5 stars.

My Review of: "Law Man"

Law Man (Dream Man, #3)Law Man by Kristen Ashley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

**ARC given courtesy of NetGalley.com, in exchange for an honest review***

This is one of the few KA novels that I hadn't been able to read until now, and I am so glad that I waited. For the most part, this book was Awesome! Although it lagged in a few areas, this book was chock full of Romance, Hawt Sex, Mystery, Action, and Adventure.

The dialog was awesome, and the characters were multi-dimensional. And as always, KA gives us something to ponder on, in regards to self-esteem and not using a crapaholic past to determine what can be a bright future.

Giving this one 5 stars.

My Review of: "No Wonder You Feel Like Crap"

No Wonder You Feel Like Crap!: The Hidden, Deadly Connection Between Stress, Diet, and DiseaseNo Wonder You Feel Like Crap!: The Hidden, Deadly Connection Between Stress, Diet, and Disease by Richard Weinstein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I hate to say this, but I literally ran away from this book.. Why, you might ask? I'll tell you why! Because I like junk food, candy, Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes, and other "fun stuff!"

But I have to say that staying on the overeating crazy train is not smart, as a matter of fact it can be downright deadly. And this was something that I found out when my Appendix decided to go into hyperdrive, became infected, and literally burst. (Yes folks, I have the hospital invoices to prove it!)

So, what can I say? That Braum's, Taco Bell, Sonic Drive-In, Frito Lay, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi made me stay on the crazy train? No. It was my decision to eat all of that crap, and it is now my responsibility to treat my body like the temple that it is, and eat better.

That's not to say that I'll never indulge in a slice of decadent "Cheesecake Factory" Cheesecake, but what it does mean is that I'll increase my daily portion of healthier Proteins, and Veggies, and I'll eliminate most of the cereal, potatoes, sugar, and anything that has glutamate and gluten, in it.

This book was well written and was simple enough for any diet simpleton to understand it.

Giving this one 4 stars.

My Review of: "A Christmas to Remember"

A Christmas to Remember (Lucky Harbor, #8.5; Chaos, #2.5; Last Chance, #6.5; Everson, Texas, #0.5; Tallgrass, #1.5)A Christmas to Remember by Jill Shalvis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

***ARC generously provided via Netgalley.com, in exchange for an honest review***

Although I enjoyed this compilation of love, hope, and holiday jeer, the 3 novellas that really stood out for me are: Hope Ramsey's "Silent Night" and Molly Cannon's "Have a Messy Little Christmas,"
and Marilyn Pappano's "A Family for Christmas."

Other than that, this was a fun read.

Giving this one: 3 solid stars.

My Favorite Things for the Week of: December 26, 2013

My Review of: "Whatever He Wants"

Whatever He WantsWhatever He Wants by Eve Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Awesome read... One of the best books that Eve Vaughn has ever written.

Fully realized characters, captivating storyline, and an all around compelling story of 2 broken people who learn to deal with their past issues for the sake of future gains.

It's 3am, and I have to say that it was so good, that I just couldn't put it down.

Before I sign off, I must give a million words of thanks to the Fans of Interracial Romance group member, who was kind enough to loan it me...

Giving this ones, 4.75 stars...
