Made the Grade: NY Girlfriends Series, Book 1

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 375 KB | Release Date: October 2005 | Publisher: Kensington Books

"The Pregnancy Test" [NY Girlfriends Series, Book 1] by Erin McCarthy

My Book Summary : All in a short time span Mandy's life has changed ... she closed her toy shop, her boyfriend broke up with her, and she found out she is pregnant!! Now she really needs to find a job with good benefits, so she doesn't live off of her parents funds, and so she can take care of her child. Thankfully her roommate was able to set her up with an interview as an assistant. An interview where she definitely makes a lasting impression, by puking in his wastebasket in front of him (which is located between his legs at the time), and gets hired for the job. Now she just has to contend with working for a man, Damien, who has a nickname of Demon, who asks like an ogre, who has made his previous secretary cry, and who has some baggage of his own to deal with.

These seemingly different people are about to find that one person who could make everything better, only if they can trust each other and get over their pasts/baggage ... is it possible?

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars. A sweet, hot, and funny story where you root for the two main characters from the beginning!! Mandy is a great character .... her plot about being pregnant (and everything that goes along with that) is really well written and thought out. Where Damien's past is revealed in a way where you want good things for him and it makes you wish you could help him out too. The chemistry between these two just sparks off of the pages!

The only reason this novel didn't get a better/higher rating was because of how Mandy's roommates try to get involved and meddle things up .... it was very annoying and unnecessary for the plot.

Book Teaser(s) :

I was thinking about Cecilia for a girl and Simon for a boy.
Her heart swelled a little at the thought of giving a name to her child. Giving him or her an identity.
I don't know...those sound very British.
All the good feelings she'd been having fled.
I am British!
"Bloody idiot." ~ within Chapter 17

"Flat-Out Sexy" [Fast Track Series, Book 1] by Erin McCarthy

My Book Summary : Two years after losing her husband, to an accident while he was racing at Talladega, Tamara (Tammy) finally agrees that it's time to start dating again. However, thinking that she should stick to someone more like her turns into flop, especially when she brings him to a NASCAR charity fundraiser and finally realizes she can't force chemistry and brakes up with him. It's at that same fundraiser that she runs into Elec .... literally ... and gets red wine all over his shirt. Not recognizing each other they chat and flirt a bit before walking away. However, when Tamara can't find her purse, a friend of hers (and best friend of her dead husband) sets her up to have Elec to take her to his coach at the racetrack for the night. During the cab ride, Elec remembers who she is, Tamara finds that chemistry just happens when you find the right person, and they find it really easy to talk and be around each other. One thing leads to another and they both decide to stay the night together .....

However, by the next morning Tamara realizes who this intriguing man is .... Elec!! ... who just happens to be a younger man (not by much ... only 6 yrs), and who is also a racecar driver (who she really never wanted to get involved with that type again). So ... even though Tamara tries to give the brush off to Elec, he is persistent in wanting to see her even if it is just a fling ... even though after a few more days of getting to know each other, he wants more.

Will Tamara be able to get over her list of reasons that they should be apart (the age difference, his career choice, and her children are only the top reasons she has)? Can she get over her insecurities and worries to be able to find out where a future with Elec could lead? Or will she decide the time that they have already shared is enough and to walk away before someone (him, her, her kids) gets hurt ...

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! Elec --- really MAKES this novel! He is sweet, kind, HOT, thoughtful, and I wish I could have my own Elec! *hehee* Otherwise .... This novel had a great mix of life on the road, dealing with relationships, and trying to be with someone who you feel great with -- while dealing with the reality of everything around you. Tamara is a great main character ... she knows what she think she wants but even though she doesn't always agree with Elec she at least believes in him .... so the drama that is in this novel really flows and progresses instead of being drawn out -- which is one of the best things about this novel. Plus ... the secondary characters were great too! This novel was fun, HOT, and refreshing!! I recommend it for any female!! =0)

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : The Pregnancy Test

Book Teaser(s) :

She flushed, feeling the heat rise up her neck and into her cheeks. "It's not what it looks like," she said to Ryder, which was perhaps the stupidest thing she had ever said in her entire life.
That ridiculous lie in the face of the obvious seemed to break through Ryder's shock. He burst out with a laugh. "Oh, I think it's exactly what it looks like." He grinned. "Guess Elec saw you home safely. Knew I could count on him." ~ within Chapter 3

Tamara knew the minute Ty and Ryder spotted Elec because Ty muttered, "Well, well, check out the rookie," and Ryder responded right back, "Guess no grass grows under his feet."
They both were grinning at her when she turned around and glared at them.
The men greeted each other. "Hey, guys, what's up?" Elec said, Hunter snuggled into his arms.
"We brought candy for the kids." Ty held up the potentially eight-pound bag of sugar and told Elec, "Maybe if you're good, we'll let you have a piece."
"I'm always good," Elec said.
"That true, Tammy?" Ryder asked her with a grin.
She refused to respond to that. ~ within Chapter 9

"Waiting On" Wednesday: Jacked Up

Today's "Waiting On" Wednesday by Jill - click here

"Jacked Up" [Fast Track Series, Book 6] by Erin McCarthy
Expected Publication Released Date: June 5, 2012

Author's Book Description:

She’s holding tight. He’s hanging loose.
Eve Monroe is a stock-car PR pro who puts her career first—until an on-track wardrobe malfunction reveals more than the sexy smile of her race-car brother’s jack-man, Nolan Ford. The video’s become an internet sensation, and it’s Eve’s job to calm the sponsors and put a spin on the unexpected exposure. It may be purely a public relations job, but now that Eve’s seen what’s under Nolan’s crew suit, it’s gotten a little personal—and after a few dates she has Nolan pretty revved up. If only she’d learn to relax and enjoy it...

And they both have the same drive.
Nolan’s sure that the spontaneous birthday bash he’s throwing for Eve in Las Vegas should loosen her up. It does more than that. Somewhere between cocktails and a smoking-hot motel-room derby, Eve and Nolan wake up hitched, thanks to a post-sex-high detour to a Vegas chapel. A hangover marriage to a virtual stranger isn’t good for anyone’s image, so Eve plans to play the happy wife long enough to satisfy the press, and then quietly part ways. Now all she has to do is convince her new personal jack-man. But Nolan has plans of his own...

"Take It Like a Vamp" by Candace Havens

My Book Summary : Nine months ago, Casey moved into her Aunt's condo after her parents died. During those months of living there, she became best friends with a rich handsome successful entrepreneur and owner of the building she now lives in, Nick, who she has a huge crush on but believes she would never have a chance with. However, she would be VERY wrong! Since Nick wants her more than he wants any woman, he's ever been with since he first met her. The only thing stopping Nick from pursuing Casey is his friendship with her and because of who/what he is ..... a vampire.

Nevertheless, soon the decision about getting closer to Casey will be taken out of Nick's hands when he crazy ex-girlfriend believes they should get back together at any costs .... even Casey's life. Can they make it work or will Casey be too scared about what she'll learn about Nick and take off like he fears?

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! This humorously exciting and sexy novel was too much fun to put down! I loved the characters! It's a fast-paced novel that I thoroughly enjoyed especially the funny and mischievous banter that passed between Casey and Nick.

About the Characters:
• Casey: A sweet and independent woman who has Nick, her best friend, wrapped around her little finger.

• Nick: He's a vampire-mix and the leader of a supernatural creature Council. Soon he'll have to find/choose a wife/mate so he can keep his Council seat, and in a way to avoid it a little longer, he unintentionally becomes closer to Casey and brings her more into his world.

• Bennett: Casey's best girl friend and personal assistant who keeps her on track.

• Mason: Nick's human assistant who knows who and what Nick is and protects his secrets.

• Lincoln: Nickname is Linc. A fashion designer who is straight. He has a crush on Casey. He's Nick's best friend.

I hope the author will make a sequel to this novel since I really want to read a story about Linc and Bennett getting together! Especially since, as I said before, this novel was hilarious!!! Even though both Casey and Nick have issues believing each other's feelings, this novel moved so fast from one twist to the next that the annoying parts never lasted long. =0)

I recommend this novel to anyone who adores reading paranormal romances! In addition, to those who are fans of Laurie London's Sweetblood Series, as "Take It Like a Vamp" seemed to have a similar governing setup to Ms. London's series, to me at least. I hope you'll enjoy!!

Book Teaser(s) :

Teaser #1 ~ within Chapter 1

“Thanks. My head is killing me, and I’m fairly certain these shoes you made me wear have bonded to my feet. I can’t feel my toes any more.”
“Beauty requires pain,” Linc said as he guided her to the entrance.
“Probably why I live in T-shirts, jeans and sweat pants,” she said.
Her monkey pajamas would feel like heaven. The cool November air wisped around her face, but it didn’t help her grogginess.
“Well, you’re lucky you look beautiful in everything.” He guided her into the back seat of a black limousine.
She snorted. “I bet Nick paid you to be nice to me. You guys are quite a pair,” she said as he tucked her dress beneath her.
“You aren’t fond of compliments are you?” ~ within Chapter 6

“Thanks,” she said softly.
“For what?” he said near to her ear.
“For being here. I didn’t realize he’d be so—seems as though he’s between girlfriends at the moment. And, well, he sort of assumes that if you’re female, and sometimes if you’re male, you want to sleep with him.”
“I believe that ego comes with the job. But just so you know, if he manhandles you again, he won’t have a throat to sing with.” The threat was real, but she didn’t take it that way.
She giggled. He loved that sound. ~ within Chapter 10
