The Tyrant’s Daughter by JC Carleson

14 March 2014 Nikki R 0

I was in the mood for a good heart breaking read and I totally found it in The Tyrant’s Daughter by J. C. Carleson. Now it’s not part of LE’s usual fare, there are no werewolves or vampires or robots, instead it’s loosely based on factual events and the world […]

JAWalker-In Rides Trouble

In Rides Trouble by Julie Ann Walker

7 January 2013 Nicole 1

I usually try and read a series in order. However with Julie Ann Walker’s Black Knight series, I’m apparently going backwards.  I started with the third novel, Rev it Up, and then read the second, In Rides Trouble. Oh yeah…it ROCKED. What is it about special ops men? Oh…yeah….they’re alpha […]

KStockett-Help

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

20 December 2012 Nikki R 2

From the second I stepped out of the theater after watching The Help, I knew I had to read the book. This was my kind of tear jerking, tear at your heart strings kind of story. I crossed my fingers and hoped that I wouldn’t be disappointed. It does occasionally […]

LDane-Tart

Tart by Lauren Dane

18 December 2012 Nicole 2

Many of you know I’m a HUGE Lauren Dane fan. I devour any and all things she has written/writes. I squee’d with much delight when I got approved for a galley for Tart the first in the spin-off series from her Brown Siblings series; which focuses on Gillian’s friends (Gillian […]

TReisz-Prince

The Prince by Tiffany Reisz

18 December 2012 Nicole 1

Ever read a book or series that just leaves you in total awe? As in, it is just so great…and I mean every part of it…that it has you hanging on to every word, every scene? Well, Tiffany Reisz’s Original Sinners, and especially The Prince, is one of those for […]

I Couldn’t Love You More by Jillian Medoff

6 August 2012 Lisa 4

I Couldn’t Love You More by Jillian Medoff is a book that took me by surprise.  In life, some decisions seem so clear cut; right and wrong so obvious, but then you realize it’s not.  I Couldn’t Love You More made me really think about life, karma, fate, etc.  For […]

Undeniably Yours by Shannon Stacey

17 January 2012 Nicole 3

I’ll freely admit that I’m not a huge fan of contemp romances. I have a few select authors who I’ll read…and Shannon’s Stacey’s Kowalski series falls into this category. I fell head over heels with this family in book 1, Exclusively Yours, and book 3, Yours to Keep (heh, yeah […]

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by A. Bender

18 January 2011 Lisa 3

Lately, I’ve been feeling fairly unhappy with the books I’ve chosen to read.  In fact I’m having a hard time writing a review for one of the books because I found it to be so disappointing.  Thankfully, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender, was not one of […]

Slaughterhouse 5 by K. Vonnegut

16 May 2009 Jesse 0

The name Slaughterhouse 5 brings to mind scenes from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or one of a hundred other horror movies my wife wouldn’t watch on principle. When I picked this book up, I was vaguely familiar with Vonnegut’s name, but hadn’t actually read any of his works. Slaughterhouse 5 […]
