Made the Grade: Chicago Stars Series, Book 3

Format: Hardcover | Pages: 374 | Release Date: 1997 | Publisher: Avon Books

"Nobody's Baby But Mine" [Chicago Stars Series, Book 3] by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

My Book Summary : Dr. Jane Darlington really wants to have a baby, and on her birthday she makes up her mind to do just that. She plans on seducing Calvin (Cal) Bonner, the Chicago Stars' quarterback, to be her "sperm donor" ... since she wants to have a baby but it can't be just any man. The "sperm donor" type she has in mind won't be quick witted and the more she watches Cal on TV doing an interview she can't help but think she's choosing wisely, specially with that Southern drawl.

The seduction goes as planned .... and a while after she PREGNANT! YAY! But her plans change when someone spills her plans and her pregnancy to Cal and he is determined to be in his child's life ..... along with getting revenge for what she has done to him.

Now for the woman who just wanted a baby .... without having the "sperm donor" in the picture and wanting it without any legal, financial, or custody situation from Cal ..... she now finds herself in a mess of trouble, married to Cal so the baby won't be born legitimate (even though the plan is to divorce when the baby is born), and living with Cal in his hometown of Salvation, North Carolina.

What else could go wrong? How about finding out that Cal isn't as dim-witted as she suspected, so much so that he actually graduated college at the top grades. Or how about the fact that she has to make sure that everyone hates her so when they get a divorce no one will be sorry to see her go ....

What will she do to get through this mess??

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars. I love this series! And by reading the description at first I wasn't sure I would like it. However, I was happily mistaken! "Nobody's Baby But Mine" was sweet, funny, fast paced, and just a plan ol' great read!! It definitely lived up to the mark of all of the other books in this series I've read!

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Ain't She Sweet | What I Did for Love

Book Teaser :
""I've met a lot of women who were liars, but you take the cake. Admit it, Professor. I turn you on so much you can hardly stand it. If I put my mind to it, I could have you naked and begging in thirty seconds flat."
"There's nothing more pathetic than an aging man boasting of his flagging sexual prowess."
"Flagging!"
She watched a slow flush spread across his cheekbones and knew she'd really done it. She'd pushed him past his limit, and now she absolutely had to shut up. "Don't worry, Cal. Somewhere there's a woman who'll care enough to take her time with you."
The flush spread to his ears.
She patted his chest. "And if that doesn't work, I've heard they're doing wonders with implants.""

Feasted On: Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series, Book 10

Format: Hardcover | Pages: 311 | Release Date: May 2010 | Publisher: ACE

"Dead in the Family" [Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series, Book 10] by Charlaine Harris

My Book Summary : Things seem to be going well for Sookie, even though she has to heal from her major wounds from the war, people she grew close to passed away while trying to protect her, and now her roommate is moving out. But just as things seem to improve ... and her relationship with Eric is going so well ... other people step in and try to mess up Sookie's life, in more ways then one. She has to put up with her cousin Claude asking to move in with her, having Alcide's wolf pack using her property (with her permission), having to deal with her "father-in-law" (aka Eric's maker) coming into town with a new young protégée, and more fae and vampires out to get her. Will one of them finally succeed?

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars! Charlaine has done it again!! This Sookie Stackhouse novel is one of the best thus far, with all of the drama that they usually entail, but included with new characters and plots that I didn't see coming! I recommend this book and series to anyone that likes reading paranormal! Plus ... I LOVE how she has created Eric and Sookie's relationship, since they make such a good couple ... so far.

    What was I thinking?: All-American Girl Series, Book 2

    Format: Hardcover | Pages: 238 | Release Date: July 2005 | Publisher: HarperTeen

    "Ready or Not" [All-American Girl Series, Book 2] by Meg Cabot

    What was I thinking? : Probably that I liked the first book in this series so the second one would be good too .. right?

    My Book Summary : Samantha (Sam) deals with the issue of sex. Should she and her boyfriend take the next step in their relationship? However, being known as the girl who saved the president and having a boyfriend who just happens to be the president's son makes the situation even tougher, with all eyes watching them.

    My Book Review : 1.5 out of 5 stars. Meg Cabot has a way of writing books that I usually like ... but in this instance the narrative ramblings and worries of Sam make reading the book a very slow process. I mean I did enjoy the highlights throughout the book but I only enjoyed them since I skimmed through to find them once I got sick of reading over and over about her worries. =0P I will say I did like the relationship between Sam and David still, since he understands that she always sticks up for what she believes in ... yet their whole communication issues about the topic of sex got blown way out of proportion. =0/

    Book Teaser :
    "And Lucy?"
    "Mmm?" she said.
    "You do realize," I added awkwardly, "that the same guy who played the Count of Monte Cristo played Jesus in that movie Mel Gibson directed."
    It was finally Lucy's turn to look shocked. "He did not!"
    "Um, yeah, he did. So, in a way, all those times in the bathtub, you've been---"
    "DON'T SAY IT!" Lucy said. And then ran for her room.

    Made the Grade: The Demon Underground Series, Book 2

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 465 KB | Release Date: March 2010 | Publisher: Bell Bridge Books

    "Try Me" [The Demon Underground Series, Book 2] by Parker Blue

    My Book Summary : Val is back on the streets of San Antonio helping keep the peace between the vampires and demons, while protecting the humans. However, since released Lola fully for the first time she has been told to take some time off so she'll be able to get more control of herself. Thankfully, Micah is planning to help her accomplish that, and a little or more help from Shade too.

    But when powerful Encyclopedia Magicka becomes stolen time off comes to a halt. Not that Val's complaining since she was getting bored anyways, but once she returns to work .... it seems that everyone there is out to get her. To top that off her partner, Dan, is being a jerk to her for some unknown reason and he seems to be trying to avoid her at all cost.

    As she goes into searching for the books ... things start happening again to those around her .... but will she be able to find them before anything really bad happens?

    My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! I really liked this book! However, it had more twists then I expected, NOT that I'm complaining since I was addicted right up until the end! I LOVE the thing going on between Shade and Val!! And I'm really curious as to where and what Val will be doing now that this latest "situation" has come up (which you'll find out at the very end of the book). I did like the depth that the author brought to the characters more so then just Val (like last time).

    My Previous Review(s) for this Series : Book 1

    Author Book Trailer :

    Book Teaser :
    "I didn't want to lose the very things that made me special. I'd always been defined by my strength, speed, and healing powers. If I lost those, who would I be? Just a girl with the ability to control men and make them feel horny. Oh yeah, great gift." ~ within Chapter 20
