This was a first for me, I’ve heard about people who are this clumsy, but never really met them. This book brought me into the mind and life of a clumsy married woman.

Clumsy Girl’s Guide to Having a Baby does not start at or before the wedding. It starts five years into the marriage. This was a simple love story, but a love story that does a fantastic job of depicting married life. As the much anticipated follow up to Clumsy Girl’s Guide to Falling in Love, it was a neat way to see what happens when the honeymoon is over.

I loved reading about Zoe’s clumsy “accidents”. They were hilarious to the point of being almost unbelievable.

It was so easy to visualize this young woman who trips over blades of grass or air. A young woman who gets into a lot of clumsy accidents and then she gets pregnant. Gets big and can’t see her feet. If for nothing else this book should be read for the hilarity of it all.

That being said, Zoe’s clumsiness is not the only story here and that is a good thing. The book has some serious parts which made it all the more real because a marriage is sometimes serious. Couples don’t always communicate well and sometimes they disagree. It’s real life. The romance is hot but the bedroom door is firmly closed.

A clever story told mostly from Zoe’s POV but with insight into Curt’s take on it all. A very entertaining read.

For Emma, the new post brings unexpected passion and chilling danger. But when murder strikes, she realizes the awful truth. Unless she and Edison devise a scheme to outwit a merciless killer, she could forever lose the man of her dreams—and even her very life….

I’ve read this book three times and I can’t believe it’s only now I’m writing a review. Amanda Quick’s stories are my go-to books when I need something I know will take me away from the stress of everyday life. I Thee Wed has an element of re-readability that I enjoy.

Ms. Quick’s stories sometimes have a formulaic feel to them that I find comforting. This novel isn’t boring or predictable except for the fact that the heroine is usually intriguing and unique, the hero is fascinated by her mind and personality and there’s always a villain that is clever and hard to catch. Trying to outsmart a criminal is a tough business, but add in an element of possible paranormal influence and it becomes engaging. Is the paranormal real or fake, is the Book of Secrets quackery or the genuine stuff of legends? Does Emma truly have an otherworldly talent or is it coincidence? Who killed the creepy letch? Who focused the young criminal’s attention on Edison? Will Edison be forced to kill him? Why is the tattoo so important? And what really happened to Ms. Kent? So many exciting questions need to be answered and Ms. Quick insures that a reader’s interest is kept engaged chapter after chapter.

My favorite part of this novel is Emma’s ability to challenge Edison. Not only about how competent a female can be in investigating a crime, but her clear-eyed empathy about the situation between the hero and his grandmother makes him doubt all that he assumed. She inspires Edison to see things differently, to question and to grow as a person. His falling in love with her makes him a better man in the end so it makes the happy ever after that much more powerful.

The sensual, sexy scenes are softly told – the descriptions are not graphic or glaring, but a reader has an open door view and can enjoy the moments when Edison and Emma succumb to their passions.

I Thee Wed is a guaranteed entertaining read. I enjoy the dialogue, the action, the suspense, the solving of the murders and Emma and Edison’s unusual courtship. There is a reason that this book is, and has been, on my keeper shelf. Ms. Quick knows how to write a romance story that gives fans of the genre exactly what they look for. I’m a satisfied, happy reader – again.

Casey Schillinge is a vivacious young woman on the verge of making her mark on the world. While backpacking, she is struck down by a tropical disease and suffers cardiac failure. But at the eleventh hour, Casey receives a life-saving heart transplant – and a rare second chance to begin again.

Three years later, Casey has become a withdrawn shell of her former self: she is estranged from her loved ones, afraid of open spaces and rides the line between legitimate and criminal work. The worst of her troubles come in the form of violent night terrors; so frightening that she resorts to extreme measures to keep herself from sleeping. When she can take no more, she embarks on a desperate search for the source of her dreams. In so doing, she makes a shocking discovery surrounding the tragic fate of the donor whose heart now beats inside her chest. As she delves deeper into the mystery of her donor, she realizes her dreams are not a figment of her imagination, but a real life nightmare.

The composition, mechanism viagra for sale of action, contraindications and side effects. Imagine the suspense that is behind the whole idea of the transference of knowledge or preferences going from the donor to the recipient. Isn’t that enough to peak your interest? The book title, the cover and the blurb all sparked my interest. From the blurb I thought perhaps the book had paranormal elements to it but once I saw that Casey Schillinge had visions in her nightmare and during the hypnosis is how she was able to see her donor’s last few moment alive.

The opening chapter was written with such care and detail that I couldn’t help but feel for the family in their time of distress. From chapter two until about 100 pages into the book it fell flat for me. It was a chore to make myself continue reading. I stuck with it and my hopes for the book to pick up and get better were not in vain. Once the book grabbed my interest again it didn’t take long for me to finish the book.

I really enjoyed the book and I am so glad that I didn’t give up on it. This is a book that has a very interesting plot with an original idea that started my imagination going. This wasn’t a predictable read and I was in suspense until the author revealed the finale.

For some reason in the back of my mind I kept wondering why it took Casey three years after receiving the donor heart to have these intense nightmares? Why did she choose to not seek help and opted to suffer alone? The Casey that was first introduced appeared too distant and isolated. For her to be so young she didn’t have any friends from school or her childhood to socialize with that kept in touch after her ordeal. But I guess the isolation was part of the preferences from the donor. I was happy to see by the end of the book she was a much stronger sociable and likable person. I enjoyed her determination once she had her mind set to resolve what happened to her donor. Her confusion and drive picked up the pace and gave the book life. I felt it odd that her and her mother did not get along and her dad seemed to be in between the two.

The writing is smooth with few edit oversights. The plot is excellent, even though it took a little long to get there. The characters were okay. I didn’t get any type of good or bad connection where as the story came to an end they would remain on my mind. However, I did wonder if the idea about the immigrants and what they were faced with could really have happened.

This would be a suggested recommendation for those that enjoy a ‘heart’ pounding tale filled with plenty of suspense and surprises.

“Me and mommy named her. Her real name is Pincess Finona Fuzzy-buttness”

This book covers a full spectrum of emotions. Meaning that it was both sweet as well as sexy and then there are some violent elements to it.

Because of the title, I initially thought that this was going to be about voodoo and witch magic and all. I couldn’t have been more wrong.This book is not about magic though there was a little bit of a fantasy element to it at the end. This book is about second chances, love, friends and family.

I have always loved reading about books with children in it. Their Cajun Queen introduced a sweet and innocent little girl that I absolutely loved reading about. I think Emma Grace brought a certain element of fun into the mix that only children can bring. She added to the story rather than simply being a convenient secondary character.

Fiona is a very strong woman, made stronger because of her daughter. She would have given up when her husband died if not for her daughter. Fiona’s past shaped her present as it made her aware of the cruel side of humans early on. Declan and Cade have their work cut out for them in winning her trust and her love but they are exactly what she and her daughter need; what they had been missing in their lives. Trust, security and love.

The author did a wonderful job with the characters and the overall story. There was some violence in it that might be difficult to read but I would recommend readers simply keep a handful of tissues nearby, take a deep breath and read on because there is so much more to this story. There was also a lot of fun and sexy and sweet moments in it that I loved. This had a good balance of both heart wrenching and heart warming. This one is for readers who want a lot of layers to their romance. A fantastic read overall.

Rachel Harris had been abandoned as a baby on the steps of a church-run children’s home in England, then later adopted. Who was her birth mother and what were the circumstances which led her to give up her baby?

Searching for someone who doesn’t want to be found seems a hopeless task, until Rachel meets Matthew Williams, a Church of England clergyman.

Then anonymous and increasingly frightening attempts begin and threaten to end their relationship. Are these actions connected to the mysterious events surrounding Rachel’s abandonment?

The verb having ED in the end highlights that something cialis 10 mg occurred in the past is the past, it is over, and residing in it does not serve anyone well. Diabetic patients and people with diminished liver and malfunctioning kidneys should be viagra cheap prescription closely scrutinized by the doctor moving the bones and joints back into their proper position. Once you canadian viagra 100mg have made sure that your pharmacy is registered with the respective authorizing bodies. Even though, weak pfizer online viagra ejaculation is known to be common in older men in their 60s and 70s.
The Image of Her was a decent mystery that kept me turning pages.

Rachel’s grandmosther passed away, and Rachel has inherited her grandmother’s place and lost her job. Between the odd noises she hears in the house and being a bit broke, as well as looking for a tenant, things are a little off for her. Enter Matthew Williams, sent to check out the weird noises but also in need of a place to stay.

I liked both Rachel and Matthew. They are decent folk just trying to get through life. Both have had some setbacks and are getting back on their feet. It was nice to see it happen together and for their romance to develop slowly and sweetly.

I have to admit that the book left me breathless frequently, right from the get go. There is much higher amount of dialogue versus narration that is used to move the story along and that was part of it. Also there’s a lot of story (and several sub-plots) contained between the pages so there’s a lot to take in. It was okay, just occasionally a bit confusing and exhausting and the reason this book didn’t rate higher.

I love the author’s light and fun tone of voice. The first chapter was an absolute joy to read and hooked me into the rest, not necessarily because of the story, but because of the two main characters. So fun!

There is a remarkable amount of British slang and words I was unfamiliar with as an American. It did pop me out of the story quite a lot, but it’s a British setting and I wouldn’t have expected otherwise.

All in all, though The Image of Her was a satisfying read. More just story and mystery than romance, it still made my heart very happy. It’s unusual today to find a book that isn’t all about the sex. This isn’t, and I think it really helped the relationship to grow more deeply and believably. I don’t doubt that Rachel and Matthew will live happily every after.

American heiress Piety Grey is on the run. Suddenly in London and facing the renovation of a crumbling townhouse, she’s determined to make a new life for herself—anything is better than returning to New York City where a cruel mother and horrid betrothal await her. The last thing she needs is a dark, tempting earl inciting her at every turn…

Trevor Rheese, the Earl of Falcondale, isn’t interested in being a good neighbor. After fifteen years of familial obligation, he’s finally free. But when the disarmingly beautiful Piety bursts through his wall—and into his life—his newfound freedom is threatened…even as his curiosity is piqued.

It’s all for show—or at least it should be. But if Falcondale isn’t careful, he may find a very real happily ever after with the woman of his dreams…

How the book starts doesn’t give a reader a decent hint as the hilarity, romance and fascinating dialogue that ensues as a reader meets all the players on stage. Piety, Trevor, Miss Baker, Ms. Breedlowe, and the crusty but loveable Lady Frinfrock, are all delightful and I enjoyed every single moment visiting with them.

Piety is the unconventional American heiress who comes to England to escape the machinations of a mother who is a parent in name only. How wretched and callous that woman is can only be appreciated upon reading her dialogue and viewing her actions. The author convinced me that the heroine was wise to run. Add in her evil, icky step-brothers and it’s almost like a twisted Cinderella story.

Trevor is a grumpy bug. His early life was not a picnic and now he’s doing everything he can think of to live as opposite a life as he knows how. On one hand, he’s honest, sometime too honest and that causes one of the conflicts later. And when he becomes less than honest, with the best possible of intentions, well, that causes conflict too. He doesn’t follow his heart and it’s almost his downfall. I liked Trever. I cracked up when he tried to tell himself, not to ask, not to make it his problem, not to look, not to want – but he always does and the results have him falling in love and lust with Piety even more. It was fun to watch.

There’s plenty of internal conflict that both Piety and Trevor have to work through but it’s the external conflict from a man that’s like a Greek mafia boss which really brings the tension and worry to a fever pitch. He’s a great addition because not only does he provoke drama and suspense, he prods the hero to do the right thing, even if it’s one of the hardest things he’s ever had to do. An effective evil villain brings out the white knight in the best of heroes and Trevor passed with flying colors – and a few flying fists. And a knife – can’t forget the knife because the author used it effectively and deserves a mention.

Some readers might think that everyone fell in love with Piety too easily, and their acting so protective of her so quickly and thoroughly was a bit unrealistic. I found her likability delightful and it made this story more upbeat, positive, a pleasure to read. I like to think that the marchioness’s ability to size a person up was razor sharp and she astutely determined that the heroine was worth her trust and sponsorship. Certainly I enjoyed her wit when it came to dealing with Piety’s horrid parent.

The Earl Next Door is truly delightful. Ms. Michaels has penned a winner with characters who are engaging and charming and a story that completely entertains. I enjoyed myself immensely and will not hesitate to recommend this novel to anyone who asks.

HE CAN GUARD HER

Lady Phoebe Batten is pretty, vivacious, and yearning for a social life befitting the sister of a powerful duke. But because she is almost completely blind, her overprotective brother insists that she have an armed bodyguard by her side at all times-the very irritating Captain Trevillion.

FROM EVERY DANGER

Captain James Trevillion is proud, brooding, and cursed with a leg injury from his service in the King’s dragoons. Yet he can still shoot and ride like the devil, so watching over the distracting Lady Phoebe should be no problem at all-until she’s targeted by kidnappers.

There are many levitra generic vs reasons why a product is available with such higher price tags.
BUT PASSION ITSELF

Caught in a deadly web of deceit, James must risk life and limb to save his charge from the lowest of cads-one who would force Lady Phoebe into a loveless marriage. But while they’re confined to close quarters for her safekeeping, Phoebe begins to see the tender man beneath the soldier’s hard exterior . . . and the possibility of a life-and love-she never imagined possible.

If ever there was a challenging point of view to write, none could be as daunting as writing from the perspective of a blind heroine. I commend Ms. Hoyt for penning such a convincing novel. Not only did I respect Phoebe, but I believed in her senses, her independence and her capabilities. That’s all due to the wonderful descriptive way in which Ms. Hoyt shows what and how Phoebe ‘sees’ in the world around her. It’s wonderfully done.

Blindness notwithstanding, the most dangerous thing to happen to the heroine was someone’s tenacity in trying to kidnap her. Even though it wasn’t’ meant to be funny, after a while I was amused because it seems that every time Trevillion or Wakefield were distracted, or thought the coast was clear, they were proven wrong and one or the other had to scramble and rescue her. Talk about action, suspense and enough intrigue to keep the pages flipping!

I liked how the relationship grew and warmed between Phoebe and James a/k/a Trevillion. I enjoyed watching James take matters in his own hands and the result is exactly what one would expect, no matter how he tried to delude himself. He was a goner. Eventually, they both were openly besotted with the other – true romance.

My favorite surprise was the smoothing over of troubled waters and the removal of a longstanding threat. It was bittersweet but it left me with a feeling of hope. It certainly played well into the plot because it showcased a depth of emotion and honor in the hero.

I enjoyed the dialogue, the mystery that surrounded Miss Dinwoody and her role, and meeting James’s niece. I liked the romance, the dynamics between Phoebe and her brother, Maximus, and the other secondary characters that populated the novel. There’s so much to like, except for the person who has a unique scent. That one is a whacko genius who reminded me of another villain in a series that liked to ‘collect’ certain somethings. It certainly made for effective conflict motivation.

All in all, Dearest Rogue has everything I look for in an engaging historical romance. This novel is so well done, it’s a must read. I’ve followed the series but this is a solid standalone read and I highly recommend it to new and established fans.

That is the one word that would sum up my experience reading the book. And the experience is not a bad one. Just one that was the complete opposite of what I thought it would be like.

I chose the book based on the blurb but the moment I started reading it, I realized that there was so much more going on in this book. Very nice surprise!

Brad and Jayla are enemies. Plain and simple. Brad has worked hard at totally avoiding his enemy and then they meet for the first time, they realize that their enemy is also their mate. How can they be both enemies and mates? The author just showed me how and I couldn’t have been more pleased.

The beginning was surprising because it started with showing their feelings for each other. And then them finding out about their mates and how their relationship changed after that. My thoughts before I read this book was that when they found out that they were each other’s mate, they would instantly fall in love and start liking each other. That was not the case for Brad and Jayla. That would have been too easy for a couple of people who actively despised the other sight unseen.

Enemies become mates/lovers who grow to be friends. It was a powerful story with two strong characters who ultimately complement the other as mates are meant to do. The secondary characters added to the story as well bringing some truly funny moments to what could have otherwise been a darker tale. Readers who enjoy a steamy paranormal with fated mates need to give this one a read. Very enjoyable.

But then she finds her childhood best friend Sean again, and everything changes. Sean is smart, driven and Harvard-bound: everything Aspen isn’t. But the more time she spends with him, the more she feels their old connection. He makes her feel like the person she was before high school, before her life did a 180. But Aspen doesn’t want to change, and she doesn’t want to make any more mistakes. Between her renewed friendship with Sean, a cute local boy and the revelation that her father may not be as clueless as she once thought, Aspen feels the ground shifting beneath her every day. As the summer unfolds, she finds herself working to reconcile her past, present and future, and carve out a place in her constantly changing universe to call home.

Before I started to read Home I google the book and author and I tried to find some information on Goodreads about them. Unfortunately I didn’t find much. Anyway I decided to read it, because the blurb sounded promising and I like to read indie and new authors. And I am glad that I read it, because Home turns out to be a hidden gem; a beautiful, brilliant hidden gem.

This is coming of age story that takes place in a Cambridge over the course of one summer between high school and college for the main character, Aspen Kirkland. Aspen is confused, and a bit lost; because her parents got divorced, because she move away from Cambridge with her mother after it and because she tried to define herself by dating different boys. But instead of finding herself, her behavior left her empty. She knows that she did some bad things and she is beating herself up very hard because of that. Aspen is clever, but a bit lost. Fortunately for her the things  change upon her return to Cambridge. During the summer she will work on her relationship with her father and with her childhood friend Sean. Sean is completely opposite from Aspen. Where she is experienced, he is inexperienced; where he know his path, Aspen is clueless; where he is driven, she is not. But also he is exactly what she needs in order to define herself.

Written from Aspen’s perspective it gives a great view into her emotions and actions. The story goes back and forth, providing an insight into Aspen’s past and creating a full overview of her life in preceding four years. Home is such emotional read. The writing is beautiful, descriptions good and characters so alive. It has to be said that there is certain predictability, but the author still managed to write an interesting and captivating story.

Home is beautiful coming of age story that I highly recommend. Read it.  You will not regret it.

Review by Rose

Rose leaves her Cornwall café to search for her daughter in the sweltering slums of Kolkata, India.

In the daily struggle for survival, she is often brought to her knees, but finds strength to overcome the poverty and disease, grows to love the Dalit community she helps.

But then there are deaths, and she fears for her own safety.

Her café at home is at risk of being torched, and finally, she has to make the terrible choice between her daughter and the Indian children.

This is a beautifully written book about mothers and daughters, about forgiveness and redemption, about loss and finding oneself. The subject matter itself isn’t pretty. It deals with the poverty and struggle that is the life of the Dalits–the untouchables–of India. But the story itself is beautiful and is one I think I will be thinking about for a long time.

The story begins with Rose discovering that the plane on which her daughter was supposed to be arriving after her gap year in India was missing. Her relief that Ellie did not actually get on the plane quickly turned to a desire to repair the damage that had been done to their relationship over the years, so she decides to go to India on a surprise visit, leaving her café in the capable hands of Hannah, who we discover has her own mother issues that are juxtaposed against the story of Rose and Ellie.

I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of the two stories, and I hope Ms. Noble plans on revisiting Hannah and Willow. I would like to see how their story plays out.

Although the ending was not the one *I* would have chosen, I can quite see how it was the right decision for the characters.

Good job, Ms. Noble. I will definitely be checking to see if you have other books available.
