Review of: The Lesson Plan by Jackie Barbosa


Miss Winifred Langston - Lively, outgoing, and unconventional.
Conrad Pearce - Staid, dull and unsure of Winifred.


Winifred is a hot ball of energy who gives her brothers no end of trouble. She's not your typical lady in any way. Her oldest brother decides his little sister needs a lesson she'll not soon forget. Perhaps THEN she will behave as a lady should.  He enlists Conrad's help. Both are suprised by the way the lesson goes. Neither could have expected this turn of events. Winifred, however, had been expecting this for years.


A hot, erotic, sweet, enticing read!! You won't put this book down until you've reached the end. This book will leave you breathless, happy and wishing for more. I couldn't find anything wrong with this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it!! Check this out, you won't be sorry.


I gave this book 5 out of 5 books because it blew me away!!

Review of: Peat Smoke and Prim Roses by Fiona Grace McDroll

I read this book. I'm still not sure what it was about.  It started out talking about a van that a man wanted and his receiving it. Then discussed the trouble with the van. Suddenly it switches gears and discusses this couple being at a grave side and their conversation. Another switch and someone is missing and someone is searching. VERY disjointed in my opinion. It didn't hold my attention at all. It made very little sense to me. I have read everything from small book and short stories, to massive novels. This was close to the worst.  If you figure it out, please let me know.

I gave it 2 out of 5 books.

Review of: Moon Dreams by Dean Johnson


Four best friends spend their first year after high school at college. The first summer home, they realize each has changed or perhaps they are seeing with fresh eyes. Bryan has been through hell and back. He lost his best friend and then started losing all the rest of his friends because of it. He meets Kirah, one of the four best friends. Things change from there. Growing, learning and adjusting is what their summer is all about.


I enjoyed the premise for the book but sadly that's all. The book is all over the place- past, present, switching characters and so on.  There really isn't a solid story line here. It seems to be telling several stories and loses it's way.


I gave this one 3 out of 5 books because of the winding story.

Review of: Book of Mercy by Sherry Roberts

It was a typical small town with it's problems.  One of the problems was the Mercy Study Club. Local women who used financial power to accomplish things in town.  The newest project on their list- books. In particular censoring what books the school library carries.  It begins a fight this town may not survive. It's champion, Antigone Brown. Antigone goes to great lengths to save the books and the rights of the students.


Having grown up in a small town like this, I've seen these things happen and snowball out of control. I love seeing the light shined in the dark places of the small town's upper crust. The story is good and shows what one person can do to change things. Even if they are viewed as an outsider.  I'm not a fan of the rambling. I think the story loses it's way at times and takes a bit to get back on track.


I give the it 3 out of 5 books because of the rambling.

Review of: REVEAL by Brina Courtney


From age 6, Shay Tafford knows she's different. Not many kids have ghost
children as friends. None of Shay's friends have the sleek, natural black hair 
she has. Then she meets Hugh and learns she's more different than even she thought.
He shows her how to embrace the differences. Life does change from that moment
on.
If you are looking for a YA book that will grab you and pull you in -REVEAl
is it. This book starts out hot and gets hotter (the story starts well and gets better)
You are missing a wonderful story if you don't read this page turner! I couldn't
put it down.


You have to get this book! You'll be screaming for the next installment.


I gave this book 5 out of 5 books for the awesome storytelling and terrific
subject matter.

Review of: Maud's House by Sherry Roberts

A Vermont farmhouse that became a canvas for Maud's art. In the family 

for generations, her house became a tourist attraction. Maud Calhoun painted

whenever and where ever on the house she wanted to. Her father encourages her.

Then she meets George and life changes, not always for the better. He tried to 

change Maud.  The eclectic towns people know everything that happens in the 

area.  Everyone knows everyone else's business. New people bring new outlooks

and make you stop and think. Reminds you there is more than one way to look

at things.

I liked this book. It showed small towns don't enjoy change and will fight it 

quite a bit.  It followed Maud through the changes in her life and gave you insight

into why she paints the way she does. You'll be surprised at the outcome. The town

was too.  I didn't enjoy the way it seemed to drag. I understand the author was

using the "talks" with George to show why Maud was the way she was, however,

it was a slow read because of that.

I gave this book 3 out of 5 books because of the way it dragged. Never really grabbed

my attention.

Review of: Fool Me Once by Lacey Wolfe

*Erotic

Skylar- an aerobics instructor, free spirit, fun loving and sexy.

Drew- handsome, determined and a company man.

 The chemistry between them is combustible. The problem is Drew has a habit of

of  walking away when it comes to Skylar.  No matter what he tells her, he ends 

up leaving her at a critical time.  What could possibly happen next to this duo.

This novella is high octane fun from beginning to end. It's the kind of bubble-

bath-erotic-read all women love!! Grab a glass of wine, candles, bubble bath and enjoy.

You will enjoy this book and read it again and again.

I gave this book 5 out of 5 books- astoundingly HOT!
