Disappointmentville: The Wedding Girl by Madeleine Wickham [aka Sophie Kinsella]
Format: Hardcover | Pages: 327 | Release Date: June 2009 | Publisher: Thomas Dunne Books"The Wedding Girl" by Madeleine Wickham (aka Sophie Kinsella)
My Book Summary : This novel documents the view points of seven different people through four days, based around a wedding that's supposed to happen when the four days are up and the secrets that come to life around them.
It is centered around Milly and Simon, with their wedding only a few days away. They seem perfect for each other to everyone who sees them, but Milly has never been truthful to Simon or anyone enough to let them know that she got married ten years earlier and she doesn't think she's divorced. Opps!
So, when a boy (now grown up) that saw her (and has photos of her) first wedding shows up as her photographer for her current wedding, she gets scared that the truth will come out. At first she plans to hide it, then she decides to take fate in her own hands and track down her current husband to see if they are divorced or not. Without letting her secret slip to Simon or her parents.
However, Milly is not the only one who is keeping secrets of her own or is having troubles in her life .... Simon has never been close to his father and always lived in his shadow, and because of that he has always tried to best him either in the business world or if not that then to have the perfect relationship. Isobel (Milly's older sister) is what the family calls a 'career woman' and is starting to hate it, but also just found out a new secret of her own that makes her rethink her life. Olivia and James (Milly's parents) are having relationship issues and who knows where they'll end up. Then there is Rupert, who was the boyfriend of Milly's current husband when she married him. In addition, he is the only person she can think of that would know where to find her husband, but he has secrets all of his own that he's been keeping from his family and himself for so long he wants nothing to do with Milly just so they will all stay in his past.
Once all of these secrets come out in the open .... will everything work out for the best or will things take a turn for the worst?
My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. *sigh* This was my first time reading a 'Madeleine Wickham' novel, and since I have read all of her as 'Sophie Kinsella’, I thought these would be just as good. But I don't know ... I guess the way some of the characters decided take care of their secrets just rubbed me the wrong way or something, since I had to skim through some of the chapters just to keep reading, if I didn't skim through I would probably have stopped reading the book altogether. I will say I did like the ending and how the characters finally resolved their issues, and I loved the letter that Rupert read it was very sweet. In addition, I did like the fact that this book was about how to grow up and come to turns with who you truly are as a person, and once you do to stick by what you believe in. Therefore, it had a good message but the plot was a little boring and irritating for me ...
Book Teaser(s) :
"Great," said Isobel. "Well, get dialling!"
"OK," said Milly, taking a deep breath. "Let's see if we've got the right number."
I should have done this before, she thought guiltily, as she picked up the phone. I could have done this any time. But even as she dialled, she felt a painful dismay at what she was being forced to do. She didn't want to speak to Rupert. She didn't want to speak to Allan. She wanted to forget the bastards had ever existed; wipe them out of her memory. ~ within Chapter 5

Feasted On: Night Watch Series, Book 1
Format: Paperback | Pages: 338 | Release Date: January 2010 | Publisher: Kensington Brava Books"Eternal Hunter" [Night Watch Series, Book 1] by Cynthia Eden
My Book Summary : Erin is the new Assistant District Attorney in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and she's already fighting with judges trying to keep the bad guys in jail (or worse). But that isn't the only reason she is there, she's also trying to run away from her past and a stalker who wants her in the worst way. Everything seems to be okay then the guy she has been trying to get locked up for a while now, gets murdered right under the cops noses (in their jail cell)! Shortly after that happens she receives a message/note from her stalker, letting her know that he did it for her and he misses her. Romantic right!? *hahaa* Wrong.
Erin (who usually is afraid of nothing), asks Jude, a bounty hunter working at Night Watch, to protect her and hopefully stop this guy for good. But the stalker is trickier then they expected....
Will they be able to stop him before he kills again? Can they stop him before finally he decides to stake his claim on Erin?
As Jude and Erin get further in their search for the killer/stalker and get closer to each other .... will they be able to trust each other enough to make it through ... or will their secrets and the stalker tear them apart?
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars. I couldn't get enough of this book!! Jude & Erin were great characters!! I loved them as a couple! The secondary characters were good too. If the second book is just as good .. then I think this will end up being a great series!!
Book Teaser(s) :
"I think baiting the asshole out there might not be our smartest move, and I think that next time, you better let me know your plans." Because being in the dark sucked, and if she was going up against the wolf, she wanted to know everything.
"Got it." A quick glance her way. "But, for the record, I kissed you because I wanted to do it. Because you've got the sexiest mouth I've ever seen, and because I wanted to taste you." ~ within Chapter 11

Made the Grade: One Night That Changes Everything by Lauren Barnholdt
Format: Hardcover | Pages: 242 | Release Date: July 2010 | Publisher: Simon Pulse "One Night That Changes Everything" by Lauren Barnholdt
My Book Summary : In this high school in Massachusetts there is a secret fraternity called the 318s, and they just recently picked their latest prank victim: Eliza. Eliza knew about the group but it's an anonymous type so most of the student body doesn't really know who the actual members are or not. However, about 3 weeks ago or so, she recently decided on going through her boyfriend's, Cooper's, items while she was by herself in his room and came across his initiation process.
While doing so, she read the sheet that listed a bunch of point rankings for kissing, etc. that Cooper would have to do with Eliza. Making it so that their whole relationship was based on a lie and she broke up with him because of it.
NOW ... the 318s are getting revenge on her (because she outted one of their members) by stealing her notebook. But it wasn't just any kind of diary/notebook it was a place she kept things she was afraid of doing (like asking a guy to dance) or saying (like the things she wishes she had the guts to tell her friends, family, or other people).
But stealing her notebook was just the first step. The 318s try to freak her out by getting her to do some of the things she wrote in the notebook. If she doesn't do as they say, they plan to publish the notebook online.
So, with the help of her two best friends Eliza runs around Massachusetts during a night that will change her forever. Doing things, she would usually be to scare to do. Trying to out smart parents and cops. Having Cooper with her throughout the experience. Making her wonder why Cooper's trying to help her, if he even cares about her, or if he's just pulling together a personal prank all on his own.
Will she be able to get her notebook back before she reveals more then she should or even a secret that's in the book but not her own?
My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars!! It's a sweet book about a girl who feels she has lost her most prized possession, just to have to turn up into the "enemy's" hands. So, she goes out of her way to do what they say to get it back. But just when you think things are going one direction the secondary characters make decisions of their own Eliza world turns into something you never thought would happen. I highly recommend it for those who like sweet teeny romances, with a girl power kick to it. =0)
Book Teaser(s) :
I approach them gingerly, not really sure exactly where to begin. I mean, what do I say, "Oh, hi, Nigel, I have to kiss you now?," "Wanna make out?," or maybe just "I'll give you twenty dollars if you kiss me." I pull my shirt down a little, because I figure I need all the help I can get. ~ within Chapter 6

Feasted On: Chicago Stars Series, Book 4
Format: Paperback | Pages: 390 | Release Date: February 1998 | Publisher: Avon Books"Dream a Little Dream" [Chicago Stars Series, Book 4] by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
My Book Summary : This book picks up just about 8 months after Book 3 in this series left off. Rachel Stone is coming back to Salvation, North Carolina; the town that she never believed she would return too. Especially after her televangelist husband fled the country so the police couldn't arrest him and died in a plane crash. However, before he died he made certain that everyone believed his wife was the one who swayed his ways to do the "devils deeds" by giving her whatever she wanted and dipping into his church funds to do so.
Since then she has changed her last name back to her maiden name and tried to make ends meat for her five-year-old son and herself. But now she's at the end of her rope and came back to the town thinking that she might be able to find where the missing money her husband stashed was so she will be able to finally settle down in a small house and put the rest of the money aside for her son's future.
In doing so, she runs into Gabe Bonner (Cal's brother), who is trying to work through his own demons (dealing with the fact that he lost both his wife and son in a car accident about 3 yrs ago) by cleaning up and opening a local drive-in. This is where the two meet when Rachel's car brakes down for good and he finds them trespassing on his property. From the beginning the two don't see eye-to-eye ... she has a never back down attitude and he just wants to be left alone. Somehow she gets herself a job helping him clean up the drive-in with him. In doing so they become closer. Gabe helps her in find a temporary place to live (his grandmother's cottage) and without her knowledge makes sure she takes care of herself (since she was looking out for her son over her own well being).
However, except for a handful of people and majority of everyone in town believes Rachel is a really bad person. Because of that belief some towns people try to do things to her to either get her to leave town or just to get revenge for what they believe she has done. Gabe becomes her protector, and when her roommate moves out of the cottage he decides to move in with her.
Will Gabe get over his demons? Will the town ever accept Rachel and her son? Will Rachel ever find the missing money?
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars!! This book was GREAT!!!!!! I LOVED Rachel & Gabe as a couple!! Plus, finding out what else happened for the Bonner family was icing on the cake! Then the cherry on top was the secondary story of Pastor Ethan (Gabe & Cal's younger brother) & Kristy. =0) If I gush any more then you'll know what will happen in the book so ... I just say .... GO READ IT!
My Previous Review(s) for this Series : Book 3
My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Ain't She Sweet | What I Did for Love | Honey Moon
Book Teaser(s) :
"I just can't figure out how we're going to manage our--you know. Our fling?"
"Fling?" He sounded offended. "Is that what this is?"
They rounded a bend in the road, and she had to squint against the setting sun. "It's not an affair." She paused. "Affair is too serious. It's a fling, and the point is, I don't see how we're going to manage it."
"We won't have a bit of trouble." ~ within Chapter 12
She gave no smile of greeting, no sign that she was glad to see him. "Why did you take off like that?" he snapped.
"I wasn't feeling well."
"You seem to be feeling fine now."
She didn't reply. Instead, she bent her head and began working a clump of chickweed free.
"If you wanted to leave, you should have told me. You know I don't like it when you're here by yourself."
"You can't be with me every minute. And why should you try?"
"What does that mean?"
"It means I'm not your responsibility." ~ within Chapter 19
