Book Review and New Release: Ghosts of the Falls by Sarah Gilman

Published by beckymmoe on 11/08/2013

Title: Ghosts of the Falls Author: Sarah Gilman Genre: Paranormal romance Published: 2013 Pages: 100 Format read: ebook Rating: B- Ghosts of the Falls is a light and sweet paranormal romance. It’s short–Goodreads has it at 100 pages, though my ARC stopped at about 70. There isn’t a ton of world building, which is fine–the story takes some known “facts” about ghosts, adds a few twists and turns (including an unusual and interesting one at the end–I did not see that one coming!), and leaves you with some unknowns, which, when dealing with the paranormal, is just fine. (Unless you’re Fox Mulder and dedicated to finding…

Book Review and New Release: Wish Upon a Star by Michelle McLean

Published by beckymmoe on 10/02/2013

  Title: Wish Upon a Star Author: Michelle McLean Genre: paranormal/sci fi romance Published: 2013 Pages: 120 Format read: ebook Rating: C I don’t read a lot of zombie-related fiction; for the most part I leave that to Mini Moe #1; but Warm Bodies is sitting in my TBR pile–I’ve heard good things. Something about this one spoke to me, though, so I decided to request it. It’s a novella and Halloween is coming, so I thought, why not? Ceri McKinley has brought her young daughter Skye to Pleasure Island, one of Las Vegas’s hottest locations. She’s already feeling nervous, because her ex, Russell Saxton, owner of…

Published by beckymmoe on 08/27/2013

Title: Take Me Author: Diane Alberts Genre: contemporary romance Published: 2013 Pages: 144 Format read: ebook Rating: B- It’s official: Take Me is definitely my favorite of the Take a Chance series. I liked both Mike and Morgan’s characters, and was happy with how they got to their HEA. Middle school history teacher Mike Worth has watched his friends and siblings fall in love for three books now, all the time knowing that their path just wasn’t for him. At his best friend Garrett’s bachelor party, though, he meets the woman who just might change his mind…. Morgan Collins isn’t interested in anything long term beyond her dancing…

Book Review and New Release: One Night at the Spa by Kathy Lyons

Published by beckymmoe on 08/27/2013

  Title: One Night at the Spa Author: Kathy Lyons Genre: contemporary romance Published: 2013 Pages: 74 Format read: ebook Rating: C+ One Night at the Spa is a short, steamy (pun absolutely intended), friends-to-lovers story. Kathy Lyons (who also writes as Jade Lee) is a new-to-me author, and I’ll definitely be reading more from her in the future. Kim Castillo managed a gym, since an ACL injury has sidelined her career as a pro racquetball player. The loss of her sports career is only part of her current problem, though. All the years of excessive exercise have put her libido on ice,…

Published by beckymmoe on 08/25/2013

  Title: Risky Surrender Author:  Robin Bielman Series: Risk It Genre: contemporary romance Published: 2013 Pages: 109 Format read: ebook Rating: C+ Risky Surrender is one of three novellas being released by Entangled’s Ever After line on August 26th as part of their “August Ever After” promotion.

What I’m Reading: Week in Review (8/23/13)

Published by beckymmoe on 08/25/2013

  Well, another family vacation is over (sigh.) and we’re that much closer to school starting up again (bigger SIGH.) This can mean only one thing: time for some serious denial! Nothing says denial like lots of non-school related reading, right? Though, sadly, I did sneak some school-related reading in there too. Even my denial has its limits. Unfortunately. On the first full day in the Poconos, my sister-in-law got us all tickets to see the minor league affiliates of the Yankees (her favorite team) play. I was a little concerned, because we woke up to rain that morning. (Not…
