I love this series! I was not sure about the book at first, I love Dina and knew I was going to miss the Inn but this book more than delivered. Maud and Arland are wonderful, Helen is a treat! Maud is as strong of a character as Dina if not stronger and joy to read. And the best part, it looks like more books are in the works! Can't wait!!!!!!

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2831272547">5 of 5 stars</a>
<br /><br />
I was given this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. 5+++ stars for me! There are very few Jay Crownover books that I don't love but this book was over the top for me in the best way. I was instantly connected to both Case and Aspen and I felt for both of them. This is an incredible story with a past that makes you weep for Case and a future that makes you cheer for everyone. It is so much more than a romance and the plot is just amazing and will keep you guessing. There are very few books these days and I am dying to get back to and this was one of them.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. I love Rachel's books and this is no exception. The relationship with all of the characters is perfect, I love snark and great banter and this book has it in spades Matt and Parker are great together. Were there any surprises in the book, no. Could you tell where things were going from the beginning? yes But the getting there is wonderful and so worth it.

I will be honest it has taken me a while to warm to this series and it is all on me. The characters have been great from the beginning strong, snarky and fun but I don't enjoy dystopian stories much and the first 2 books were a bit too dystopian for me but now that the world has been built and I can sit back and enjoy ( love ) the story. This is a wonderful urban fantasy series with more great books to come.

I really really liked this book! Lots of fun snark, smart characters and the drama was fun but not crazy. I loved everyone ( except Vanessa of course) and was routing for everyone too. Can't wait for the next book so they all have their HEA!<br />

I really enjoyed this book and I hope it will be part of a series but I wanted more ( please take that as a compliment) I wanted more world building, more background on the paranormals and how then fit into "our world" I would love a prequel novella to answer some of the questions and I hope this book becomes part of a series.

This is a really cute and interesting spin on the Beauty and the Beast tale. Belle is a sweet heart and the "beast" is anything but. It is funny and sweet and a little bit sexy too. Tara's books are always a fun read and this one does not disappoint. And as always there are a few laugh out loud moments too!

I have to say I enjoyed this story much more then the first book in this series. I found the character in the first book fun but I did not find them as believable. I especially did not like North or Diana then but now I know why! We were not seeing the real people then and once we did they were better then I could have expected. It is a sweet read with a lot a heart.

3.5 Stars It is a good story very fast based but I never quite connected with the characters until closer to the end of the book. I think I would have liked it more if I know more about Maggie in the real time either before the Time Walked or during her time back. But I did enjoy it and I will read more by E.B. Brown in the future.

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35068619">Counting on a Countess</a> by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/8886093">Eva Leigh</a><br/>
My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2348889260">4 of 5 stars</a>
<br /><br />
I have always loved Eva Leigh/Zoe Archer books and this one is no exception. Strong Women and supporting Men make a great romance in any time period. While this is a London Underground book I'm pretty sure there is crossover with the Wicked Quills of London Series too and I was very happy to see that too!

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32738755">Sinner</a> by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7369992">Sierra Simone</a><br/>
My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2340139554">5 of 5 stars</a>
<br /><br />
This is my first Sierra Simone book and it will not be my last. This book was incredible, I was expecting a "bad boy" turned good book and I was not wrong but it was so much more. Sean has some very good and deep reason for being how he is but to follow his journey to get to a good place in his life is one of the most beautiful things I have seen written in a long time. Is the book sexy? Is it steamy? Does it push some boundaries? Yes it does; but is does it all in a beautiful and thought provoking way.

My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2340140405">5 of 5 stars</a>
<br /><br />
I love this story and it was a simply wonderful crossover. I will say the Prologue had me worried and as a none spoiler, spoiler; relax it will be ok. Samantha has never let us down and she did not this time. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer but that is really a compliment! Enjoy.

Sherlock Holmes’ daughter and her companion Dr. John Watson Jr. as they
investigate a murder at the highest levels of British society from the
USA Today bestselling author.<br /><br />1910. Joanna Blalock’s keen mind
and incredible insight lead her to become a highly-skilled nurse, one of
the few professions that allow her to use her finely-tuned brain. But
when she and her ten-year-old son witness a man fall to his death,
apparently by suicide, they are visited by the elderly Dr. John Watson
and his charming, handsome son, Dr. John Watson Jr. Impressed by her
forensic and deductive skills, they invite her to become the third
member of their deductive team.<br /><br />Caught up in a Holmesian mystery
that spans from hidden treasure to the Second Afghan War of 1878-1880,
Joanna and her companions must devise an ingenious plan to catch a
murderer in the act while dodging familiar culprits, Scotland Yard, and
members of the British aristocracy. Unbeknownst to her, Joanna harbors a
mystery of her own. The product of a one-time assignation between the
now dead Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler, the only woman to ever outwit
the famous detective, Joanna has unwittingly inherited her parents’
deductive genius.<br /><br />Fans of the Rizzoli and Isles series by Tess
Gerritsen and the Stapleton and Montgyomery series by Robin Cook will
enjoy this suspenseful story, full of excitement and intrigue.</span><br />

are a fan of Sherlock Holmes and strong women characters you will enjoy
this book. It is written is a very Watson style which was fun but at
times I felt it was trying too hard to be a new Sherlock Holmes
adventure. Over all I enjoyed it and would recommend it to Homes fans as
a fun addition. </span>

you, heal you and gut you all over again and that is exactly what she
did for me and this book. It is beautiful, it is inspiring and will make

free at New York Comic Con of all places! Taking my son there had a
bonus for me too! When I heard Amy would be there I looked up her books
again and while I had not read any yet she was one my list so I was
excited to try a meet her. I am so happy I did and so happy I loved this
book. I don't usually read sci-fi but I do read YA, NA and Paranormal
to name a few genres. This fits perfectly into that group if you are all
concerned that sci-fi is not your thing. ( I actually like sci-fi a lot
but I tend to watch my sci-fi and not read it) but I digress, this is a
perfect coming of age meets hot alien meets powerful strong girl. There
is heart a humor and much more to come.

Abandoned by his superstar wife, Hollywood’s Perfect Husband is now
Hollywood’s Sexiest Bachelor: partying hard and screwing even harder.
Watch out Los Angeles, there's a new bad boy in town. <br /><br /><em>Summer Jenkins.</em>
That’s me, a small town girl stuck in Quincy, Georgia. I cook some mean
chicken and dumplins, can bluff a grown man out of his savings in
poker, and was voted Most Friendly my senior year. <br /><br />We were from
different worlds. Our lives shouldn’t have collided. But then Cole
Masten read a book about my small town. And six months later, his jet
landed on our dusty airstrip, and he brought Hollywood with him. <br /><br />From the start, I knew he was trouble. For our town. And for me. <br /><br /><em>Sometimes, opposites just aren’t meant to attract.</em></span><span id="freeText4332317525714273329"></span><br />

book is an absolute delight, if you have read her other books this is
nothing like them but still just a wonderful and well written. This is a
wonderful hate to love story with smart dialogue and witty responses.
The fact that a rooster is almost a supporting character is just
charming. I laughed a lot and cheered for both of them and well just
loved it!</span></span><br />
