"A Knight to Remember" (now called "Rhodri") [Blood Sword Legacy, Book 5] by Karin Tabke -- Set in Wessex Coast, Southern England in 1068 ... Mercia has come back home from the abbey to see her older sister, Rowena, wed. However, while trying to seek out as much adventure she can before she goes back to the abbey to take her final vows (which she really does not want to do), Mercia decides to take a trip to the beach. Once she gets there she finds an injured man on the beach, and she feels hard pressed to help him.

Mercia set him up in a nearby cave and tends to his wounds. After the man regains consciousness, she finds that as he gets better he still doesn’t know who he is, but she still feels drawn to him just the same.

Back at her home, her family is still waiting for Rowena’s betrothed to arrive, and when his guards arrive without him, a search is set out.

What will happen once the man remembers who he is? Will Mercia be able to stay with this man and not complete her vows? Will Rowena’s betrothed ever arrive?

3.5 out of 5 stars! It's kind of like a Cinderella story, only without the Fairy Godmother and the Step Family, and kinda set into the real world of that time period. So - of COURSE I liked it! Very cute! Quite charming!

Baby, I don't understand. Just why we can't be lovers. Things are getting out of hand. Tryin' to much, but baby we can win.

Pages: 210 | Release Date: March/April 2010

"The Unwritten Rule" by Elizabeth Scott -- Everyone knows the unwritten rule: You don’t like your best friend’s boyfriend. So, this is what happens when you do...

Sarah has liked Ryan since 8th grade, but even though she told her best friend Brianna during that time, her friend never really believed her. Now at seventeen she still likes him, but she’s to shy to do anything about it. So, when Brianna and her attend an end-of-the-summer party she’s blown away by how much cuter Ryan has become over the summer. The only problem is Sarah isn’t the only one who notices, and by the end of the party, Brianna is all over Ryan. Then starts a series of miscommunications that end up with Brianna and Ryan together and Sarah left as the third wheel.

Almost two months she has put up with them kissing in front of her and doing all of the boyfriend/girlfriend things around her, yet Sarah has taken it in stride. But one night when Ryan drops her off at her house from a party alone, Sarah realizes that they have more in common then she expected, and that moment becomes wonderful and awful all at the same time. How can she do something like that to her best friend? Then life comes into play and Sarah finds that no matter how hard she tries to do the right thing someone is going to get hurt. The question is she will to sacrifice her dearest friend for the possibility of love? Or will she give up her happiness for her best friend?

4 out of 5 stars! This novel keeps your attention the whole way through. Definitely shows a side of girl friendships that you rarely see. Since we always read or watch in movies these girls who have it all with their little sidekick best friend, but you don't always hear about the best friend's version of what goes on between them or why she really puts up with what she does, and I think this book beautifully displays it.

However, I will admit that from the middle of the book on I was deeply pissed off at Brianna, and would have loved to bitch slap her myself. *hahaa* Especially since I have a hunch that Brianna new all along about Sarah's interests in Ryan, which is why she did what she did. But I could be wrong.

Sidenote :: I LOVED THE ENDING!!! It was sooo good!!

-- Leave a comment and tell me what do you thought about the novel. --

"The Reckoning" [Darkest Powers Series, Book 3] by Kelley Armstrong starts with Chloe and her friends staying at a hide-away location with one of their parent’s friends, just after escaping with the Edison Group for the second time. Within this novel Chloe has to deal with poltergeists, full demons, lesser demons, and just plan old ghosts either trying to kill her, possess her body,or eat her. Thankfully, Chloe is surrounded by friends [Derek – the werewolf, Simon – the sorcerer, & Tori – the sorcerer/witch aka spell caster], who try to stick together as much as possible particularly since everyone else around them are telling them lies, so they can never be sure who’s telling them the truth anymore. So, if they try to make it on their own again, where will they go? Whom can they trust? And ... will their lives ever get back to normal?

4.5 out of 5 stars! If it’s true that this is the last novel of the Darkest Powers series or at least of Chloe’s story, then I am very happy with the way it turned out as it surpassed all of my expectations! It kept me riveted with all the action scenes and the love triangle. =0) I was rooting for Chloe & Derek!!! ♥

"Waiting On" Wednesday: Something Like Fate


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



    • "Something Like Fate" by Susane Colasanti
    Publication Released Date: May 4, 2010

    Book Description:
      What if your soul mate is....
    your best friend's boyfriend?
      Lani and Erin are bonded for life. One thing that connects them is their fascination of fate. Lani wonders how much of our lives has already been decided and how much we can actually influence. Since the Unknown can unexpectedly change our lives forever, how much can we really control?

      From the minute Lani meets Jason, she can't deny the intense connection they share. It feels like she's known him forever. She's not sure if he feels it, too. But it doesn't matter. Because Jason is Erin's boyfriend. Lani is determined to ignore her feelings for Jason, no matter how powerful they are, rather than risk hurting her best friend.

      What if the person who is your destiny is the one person you can't have?

    It sounds like such of an intriguing book .... and yes I'm not one that usually likes boyfriend-stealing [depending on who is stealing from whom - just kidding!] but I love the whole play on fate. You never know what could happen. =0)

    • My Answers:
    • What are you currently reading?
      "The Reckoning" [Darkest Powers Series, Book 3] by Kelley Armstrong
      -- I've only read the first few chapters and I am so excited ... I can't wait to get back to reading it. However ... I will say one of the new characters named Margaret is a royal bitch and I wish I could slap her.

    • What did you recently finish reading?
      "The Avenger" [Time Raiders Series, Book 3] by P. C. Cast
      -- 3 out of 5 stars. I finished that book yesterday ... it was good. I did like it but it was not my fave book by P. C. Cast, I was kind of disappointed in how it didn't really break at all from what she normally writes. Which can be a good and bad thing. =0/

    • What do you think you’ll read next?
      "The Unwritten Rule" by Elizabeth Scott!!!!!!!
