If You Desire (MacCarrick Brothers#2)

If You Desire by Kresley Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's hard to say which couple I liked most out of this trilogy. They all had their special quirks but if I had to choose it would be Hugh and Jane.

The only obstacle that stood in between Hugh and Jane was the dreaded Curse and it was the most infuriating part about If You Desire. They both clearly loved each other from the start.

Since the day Jane and Hugh arrived at Courtland's house it was sweet, full of fun and humor. It was funny to see Jane learn a few things like how not to use Kerosene to wax the floors.

The fact that Jane knew how to use a bow and arrow kinda reminded me of Katniss Everdeen. Anyway she was brave and capable of defending herself . She actually saved Hugh's life from Grey. Ya what a psycho he was.

I just like this story .

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

This week I finished

The Eternity Cure (My Review) by Julie Kagawa.

I am currently reading

Hard As You Can by Laura Kaye and I can't put it down which means I will be finished it real soon. So far though, Crystal is embarrassed of the scars she bears on her back which inhibits her from getting too affectionate with Shane.  Whatever trouble she's in is because of her father. Shane wants to help her and she is falling in love with him .

I plan on reading

If You Desire - The 2nd installment in the MacCarrick Brother's Trilogy by Kresley Cole. I love these books.  I had to order #2 because the dollar store only had #1 and #3 .
I hate when that happens.
Don't you hate when a book isn't available in the bookstores?

Just A Suggestion

If you ever come across a book you want while browsing in second hand bookstores , get it while you can, because it may be a once in a lifetime opportunity

The Eternity Cure [Blood Of Eden #2]

The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In The Eternity Cure, Ally is forced in one direction, determined to find her master, who she thinks is in serious danger. Along the way she encounters her blood brother, Jackal, who killed all of Zeke's family ,and they agree on working together to find and rescue their master Kanin ,who they believe is alive but is suffering. Indeed he is and they know Sarren is responsible.

Sarren is a psycho vamp who had been experimented on and tortured by the human scientists in order to find a cure for Rabidism and Red Lung disease and that is why he went crazy. He is vengeful and dangerous

Ahhhh! The Eternity Cure is a dark and dangerous scene , where there is only one safe place to be . In the towers of the Vampire Prince Salazar's city. Outside there are mole men and zombie infested humans running around who will infect you.

No Prince Charming Cover Reveal

I'm excited to reveal the cover for a new series by best-selling author Angel Payne and Victoria Blue!

COVER DESIGN by  parajunkee

ABOUT No Prince Charming:

“Once upon a time, there was a girl who dressed up and went to a big party at the palace. There, she met a prince. They danced and fell in love…” 

Damn good line. Too bad I don’t believe a word of it anymore.

My name is Claire Montgomery, and I’m not a princess. I’m a fighter. I worked hard to earn my place on the emergency image repair team for one of the biggest public relations companies in the country. We’ve been called to the renowned Chicago headquarters of Stone Global Corporation, where it’s our job to clean up a heap of the Stone family’s filthiest laundry. Our success will be the biggest victory of my career. I’m on my game. I’m ready. Why doesn’t “ready” include a contingency plan for Killian Stone?

My name is Killian Stone. They call me the “enigma of Miracle Mile,” and that’s the way I like it. Elite tycoons want into my bank account. Their wives and daughters want into my pants. They’ll all do anything for a piece of the enigma—until a crack in the castle is too huge for anyone to ignore. What they all don’t know is that I’m thrilled about the fissure. Their fascination with the scandal means nobody will look at the bigger secret of the Stone family. I’m safe. 

Until Claire Montgomery walks through my doors. 

Her honesty, her bravery, her humor…they pull me in, a prism against the gray walls of my tower. I’m captivated. For the very first time, I long to shed the enigma. To share my secret. But what the hell will that get me? Even if she fits the slipper I offer…I’m no Prince Charming.

Hi there. I’m Angel: book lover, hopeless romantic, pop culture geek, shoe addict, coffee-aholic, and occasional vinophile, too.

I’ve been hooked on books since I was a kid but it all got worse in my twenties, when I discovered romances—-the hotter, the better. Growing up in Southern California, with lots of surfer-type manliness surrounded me, certainly didn’t help to assuage the need for reading about delicious alpha guys and the women who adore them. When I learned I had a knack for telling these stories too, I guess you could say I was doomed, though my path toward erotic romance novelist took a few detours via a concert-reviewing gig for my college newspaper (free show tickets…backstage passes…that was sort of a no-brainer), artist interviews for a Beverly Hills dance music mag, and a very, very bad try at a Young Adult novel (don’t ask; it’s not pretty). These days, I still live in California, and have found an amazing alpha guy of my own who was brave enough to marry me. We live on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with our beautiful daughter and a crazy dog. I have the best life ever, and never forget to thank the Big Guy Upstairs for it, either.

What do you think of the design? I think of Fifty Shades of Grey 

Never Fade (The Darkest Minds #2)

Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken

I also listened to it on Audio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Lator Gator"- Jude
"In an hour sunflower"- Ruby

At first I had difficulty concentrating on the story that ended in a dusty fiery landscape with Clancy Gray btw. I would've liked if It'd grabbed my attention but it didn't. It was like it was missing important pieces of the puzzle. I mean like large chunks of the story, that otherwise might've been helpful. I could barely understand it at all. Are all dystopia's supposed to be that way?

Whatever Ruby knew about the children's league before she came into it was only what Liam had told her, and now she was stuck inside this horrible organized crime OP alone, after having erased Liam's memories of her.
Vida and Jude are the leagues, (Cole and Kates) puppets.
We know Ruby is an Orange which means she has some special ability that allows her to control minds just like the Slip Kid Clancy Gray.
Vida is a blue and batshit crazy. She can move objects and things. Jude is a yellow. He's so young. I can't remember anything about them though. Lo and behold Cole is a Red!~gasp. He's Liam's older brother. Kate has always been so nice. I still don't know what to make of her. Is she just a genuinely kind person?

Apparently this IAAN disease was the cause of the world apocalypse and kids were ripped away from their parents and put into camps. So far I don't see how IAAN is so horrible but only how horrible the government is. Funny that.

A Bit On Books

I don't review all the books I read perhaps because I don't have to, and I am not good at it . It does take a lot of effort just to read a book though, whereas I am not a huge book lover. Half the time the authors synopsis is more than I could say anyway, and you should just read the darn book for yourself but I digress. I suppose the point of a book blog is to write about the things you like and dislike about a book without being critically judgmental. Whoever said it becomes easier with practice? I think most reviews are disingenuous anyway.

Where You Are  (Between the Lines, #2)
by Tammara Webber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I like how the end was predictable and went smoother than expected, and I am happy that Graham and Emma are finally together and relieved of Reid and Brooke's dirty shenanigans and sordid methods of interference.



Up From the Grave by Jeaniene Frost
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The reason that I liked this episode of Cat and Bones most is probably due to the fact that it is the last and final installment. figures.




The Professional: Part 3 by Kresley Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

All's well that ends well.





The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"The darkest minds tend to hide behind the most unlikely faces" - Charles aka Chubs talking about The Slip Kid.




Rapture by Lauren Kate
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Really Luce ???!!! Nothing or no one is worth losing heaven over. To think you chose Daniel over Heaven? really?! You should've chose Heaven cause I think it's synonymous to Love. You and Daniel deserve what you got then; your heaven is not the Truth nor is it the right decision you stupid stupid girl. Bah I am really disappointed.


Passion by Lauren Kate
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Angels. Demons. Nephilim. Thrones. Gargoyles. Neverwhere. Time travel. Cloudsoil. Oh My.

Passion is the best book in this series so far. Luce travels all the way back in time to the fall of angels. To the beginning of history. Along the way she meets a Gargoyle named Bill, who helps her gain knowledge of her past lives, but intrudes on her quest to break the curse that causes her to die again and again and again only to reincarnate over and over and over. Admittingly he does provide some comic relief . He also attempts to make Luce believe she needs to kill her own soul in order to break the curse.... but she could not give up a love like Daniels.


Torment by Lauren Kate
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The fallen angel and Heaven's angel premise is what I found interesting





Hidden Dragons by Emma Holly

Easy by Tammara Webber

Lucas Landon Maxfield is one heck of a guy. Jacqueline Wallace is a lucky lady.




A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Thousand Splendid Suns is about spouse abuse more than anything. It's also about the Afghanistan people plagued with war and violence.
