About Nikki R

SAHM of 2, happily married bookworm, blogger and aspiring author. If I could read/write all day, every day, I would. Luckily I have a very understanding, and patient, husband who lets me get away with it as much as possible. Now if only the kids would understand my obsession, and the house would clean itself, then I'd be all set.

Here are my most recent posts

Bonded by Nicky Charles

1 January 2014 Nikki R 0

Grabbing a free ebook is always a gamble, am I right? I know my palms get all sweaty whenever I download one, thanks to all the bombs I’ve come across. But you know, I think it’s still worth it because occasionally you get a winner. Like Bonded, the first novel […]

Escapists Uncensored

Escapist Uncensored: The day I hated books

27 November 2013 Nikki R 1

It started with an expedition, in the Book Storage Zone of my house, to find a book. I looked through two large boxes, and a large plastic bin, then rummaged through my overflowing bookshelf before I finally found it. I was exhausted. I sat back, giving my hoard an evil […]

HTrent-Calculated-Exposure

Calculated Exposure by Holley Trent

29 October 2013 Nikki R 0

It took me a few chapters to become interested in Calculated Exposure by Holly Trent, but once I did I sped through it in record time. The characters are sassy and the situations they get into are very realistic, in fact I have friends who could easily be Curt or […]

Escapists Uncensored: When tough guys, aren’t so tough

23 October 2013 Nikki R 0

In lieu of what month it is, I’d like to talk to you about monsters/villains. This is not your typical ‘here’s my favorite monster list’. This is a rant about how infuriating it is when the rules for these types of character are treated more as a guideline, turning that […]

LFairleigh-Echo-Prophecy

Echo Prophecy by Lindsey Fairleigh

17 October 2013 Nikki R 0

When I read the first part of the synopsis for Echo Prophecy by Lindsey Fairleigh, I read no further, and said yes without hesitating. Egyptology is a weakness for me, *grin*. Sadly, it didn’t turn out the way I had hoped or expected. I don’t hate the novel, just disappointed […]

NGideon-Prince-of-Shadows

Prince of Shadows by Nancy Gideon

12 September 2013 Nikki R 2

Guys, I’m stunned speechless, well “LOL” stunned mostly, over Prince of Shadows by Nancy Gideon. I know not to expect or assume anything, except a never-ending twist of events that you can’t see coming and incredible characters that steal your heart; which is exactly what Gideon gives with Prince of […]

JRWard-Lover-Unleashed

Lover Unleashed by J.R. Ward

22 August 2013 Nikki R 0

When I read Casey’s review for Lover Unleashed by J.R.Ward, I wondered if I could skip this one and not miss anything. Her review isn’t negative at all, in fact she says she loved it, she just had a few issues with it and they happen to be ones I […]

KMacAlister-Time-Thief

Time Thief by Katie MacAlister

13 August 2013 Nikki R 1

After a long dry spell of no reading- gasp what is wrong with me- I decided it was time to get back to ‘work’. Sadly my first book wasn’t a hit. Time Thief by Katie MacAlister sounded interesting enough.  I find the concept of jumping through time fascinating and was […]
