Feasted On: Falling For Gracie by Susan Mallery

Format: Paperback | Pages: 347 | Release Date: reissue - January 2009 | Publisher: HQN Books

"Falling For Gracie" [Los Lobos Series, Book 2] by Susan Mallery

My Book Summary : When we're young, crushes usually come and go, but when Gracie was fourteen she tried to hold onto her crush by doing anything possible. She was upset that Riley never liked her or even was nice to her back (even though he was four years older then her), that she made his life a living hell, by sticking a skunk into his car to slipping diarrhea pills into his soup before the school dance.

Now fourteen years later she's finally back to the hometown where it all took place. Even though she's been over her crush for some time now (or so she thinks), her past antics have made her a legend and not one that she is proud of. Therefore, she's planning to do everything in her power to stay as far from Riley as possible. But it's hard to accomplish when people around her keep putting her into situations where they run into each other....

After talking a few times they, both realize that they have more in common then, either could have believed, and they become friends. However, with Riley running for Mayor, they find that some people in town will do anything to see both of their reputations ruined...

Will they make it through? And quite possibly become closer then either ever believed possible....

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars. Very cute, quite funny, and I loved Riley and Gracie! I breezed through this book not wanting to put it down until the end! I will admit that the ending was kind of corny but that still didn't ruin the book for me. =0)

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Tempting | Accidentally Yours

Book Teaser :
"We can't do this, Gracie. I have rules and one of them says the women in question is easily forgotten. We both know you're not that."
She pressed her hands against his chest. "Are you referring to my stalker past? Haven't we talked about you letting that go?" ~ within Chapter 6

this love is difficult but it's real, don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess

In the Buchanans Book # 4 ... called "Tempting" by Susan Mallery is Dani's story, the youngest of the Buchanan siblings. However, she recently was told by her grandmother (the woman who raised her) that she 'isn't really a Buchanan'. So, she sets off to find her birth father, who turns out to be the Senator of the State of Washington and is running for president. The only thing that Dani didn't count on when trying to find and meet her father was meeting his large family. A family that already has 8 children (all adopted), what's one more? But as the younger kids all instantly enjoy spending time with her, her father's wife gets jealous of Dani and her feelings hurt by the situation in the process. Then their is the tiny fact that the eldest adopted son for her fathers and Dani seem to be falling for each other. How will her life ever get back to normal and out of the press now, without hurting anyone???

3.5 out of 5 stars! I have yet to read the other Buchanan books ... they might be good yet I'm not sure if I'll get to them or not. *shrug* I definitely liked this book though. It keeps you on your toes ... with humor and heart.

"You're stealing my speech."
"You had a speech?"

Made the Grade: How to Take the Ex Out of Ex-Boyfriend by Janette Rallison

Format: Hardcover | Pages: 265 | Release Date: June 2007 | Publisher: Putnam

"How to Take the Ex Out of Ex-Boyfriend" by Janette Rallison

My Book Summary : Giovanna (Gi) has a handsome, sweet, and popular boyfriend named Jesse. The only problem she has with him is his friends, they are arrogant, mean, and most of them snub her whenever Jesse is away. So, when Dante, Gi's twin brother and a friend of Jesse's too, decides to run as student council president against another one of Jesse's friends named Wilson, who just happens to be the Mayor's son, things in their relationship go from great to nonexistent. Especially after Gi learns that Jesse had agreed to run as Wilson's campaign manager not long after she requested he be the campaign manager for her brother, so her emotions get out of hand for her and she tells Jesse that they're through.

So now she has to deal with:
  • the politics at a high school where everyone believes she is a criminal
  • seeing a girl she hates hang all over Jesse
  • trying to date other guys (at first for herself and then to make Jesse jealous)
and now .... trying to win Jesse back since after everything she did and even though they are helping other opponents she just can't help but miss him. But will he ever take her back?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. It's a cute story. Definitely had some unexpected twists that made me want to find out what would happen next, but it wasn't as good as I would have liked it to be. However, I did like the main characters .... especially with all of the antics that Gi got herself into without even trying. =0)

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Just One Wish

Book Teaser(s) :
"It's the biology break-in, isn't it? Nobody wants to take a criminal to prom."
Daphne let out a sigh and twirled the end of her straw in her mouth as though unsure whether to tell me a secret or not. "Actually, Jesse told all the guys he knows that they'd better not ask you out."
"What?" I looked around the lunchroom, searching for Jesse so I could, I don't know, pelt him with carrot sticks or something. "He can't do that. We're not dating anymore."
Daphne nodded sympathetically. "I know. It totally violates the rules of breakup procedure, but obviously he's not over you yet."
Raine bit into a chip. "Or he wants to make you suffer." ~ within Chapter 5
