Sue Miller's "For Love" Was extremely painful to read. The amount of reminiscing she does in this story is just too much to take. I had to force myself to finish this book, at about half way I wanted to throw it from my balcony. Even the one sex scene felt disjointed and rather unfeeling. … Continue reading Book 18: “For Love”
Book 17: “Warrior’s Song”
Catherine Coulter's "Warrior's Song" My guilty pleasure in a romance novel. Castles, Knights, Ladies, defiance, love. I'm a sucker for a good story about a tom-boy who is forced out of her comfort zone, specially in the old England time period. Granted, some of the words and phrases used by Ms. Coulter in the story … Continue reading Book 17: “Warrior’s Song”
Book 16: “Siren Song”
Kathryn Kramer's "Siren Song" Quite the different turn going with the old mining west. Not incredibly believable but then it is a romance novel so that is expected. I'd like to think something like this happened in the old mining towns. The most unbelievable part for me was her being a slim, sexy young woman. … Continue reading Book 16: “Siren Song”
Midlife Reverse-Crisis
A few months ago I joined a fun little meetup group called Geek Girls. It's a bunch of women who love to game, and just totally geek out on nerdy kinds of things which is right up my ally. When I was a teenager I went with my older brother to play Dungeons and Dragons … Continue reading Midlife Reverse-Crisis
Book 15: “The Wastrel”
Margaret Moore's " The Wastrel" Ah Victorian England, a familiar setting for romance novels, this one is light hearted and good fun. Enjoyed the character descriptions and brutal honesty of some personalities. Clara's defiance and education peeked the tiny feminist part of me that rarely rears it's head. The next book is Kathryn Kramer's "Siren Song"
Book 14: “Divine Evil”
Nora Roberts' "Divine Evil I really like the two sides of this story. It's serious satanism scare along with the romance was a great combination. I'm tempted to keep this one but think I'll unload it and perhaps pick it up as an ebook down the road. Intrigue, mystery, murder, family angst and troubles and … Continue reading Book 14: “Divine Evil”
Movie Rage Fit
AARGH! I have a gripe!!! Went to see Expendables 2 and we decided to stay and watch Avengers after it. We went in at about 9:50, show time was 10:15. Sat down in an uncleaned theater and the commercials started at about 10:00. I'm guessing it was about 10:20 the previews started which went until … Continue reading Movie Rage Fit
Book 13: “Once A Princess”
Johanna Lindsey's "Once A Princess" Sappy Cinderella type story that was just what I needed. The background given to the "Princess" and disbelief of what was happening was just right for me to buy in to the fact that she would fight tooth and nail as long as she did. She should have had more … Continue reading Book 13: “Once A Princess”
Over What Hill?
Well it's finally happened, I turned 40 a couple of days ago and I'm conflicted. Part of me is feeling like an old girl and part of me rebels and says NO I'm NOT old! Lots of strange thoughts and feeling floating about today. I will admit getting married before turning 40 was a great … Continue reading Over What Hill?
Book 12: “Short Straw Bride”
Dallas Schulze's "Short Straw Bride" Well if it's any indication, I read this in one day. 🙂 Cute story if a bit unbelievable at times but who cares really when you're reading a romance novel right? We read them to escape reality not to look for it in there. The next book is: Johanna Lindsey's … Continue reading Book 12: “Short Straw Bride”
