My Book Summary : Financial expert Andrea is rushing home to Churchville, PA (also known as Amish Country), to help her family and their inn they are trying to start up. She has been against the idea of the inn from the beginning, but with her younger sisters recent hit-and-run accident she has to help out, and being the oldest sister that means she needs to take charge.
However, once she gets there she finds her grandmother loves having her there, wants her to help with the inn as much as she can, but doesn't want Andrea to help with their financial struggles. In addition, she finds out that some people in the community really don't want the inn to be operational and might try to have it so the inn never opens at all costs.
To top it all off Andrea meets Cal, her grandmother's tenant, who is living and works in the renovated barn behind the inn and he's keeping his own secrets....
My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars! I wasn't expecting to like this book when I started reading it but I was pleasantly surprised! The plot was very well written. Good characters.
Book Teaser :
"There's someone, a man, out on the east side of the house."
"Andrea?" His voice sharpened. "Are you sure?"
"The lightening makes it as bright as day. He's there, watching the house. We didn't put lights---"
They hadn't thought they needed to where there were no outbuildings to be broken into. Maybe the intruder's goal wasn't the outbuildings. Maybe it was the house itself. ~ within Chapter 6

Publication Released Date: July 20, 2010
Book Description:- ...grace...
This is the story of a boy who used to be a wolf and a girl who was becoming one.
Just a few months ago, it was Sam who was the mythical creature. His was the disease we couldn't cure. His was the good-bye that meant the most. He had the body that was a mystery, too strange and wonderful and terrifying to comprehend.
But now it is spring. With the heat, the remaining wolves will soon be falling out of their wolf pelts and back into their human bodies. Sam stays Sam, and Cole stays Cole, and it's only me who's not firmly in my own skin.
Click here to check out the book trailer!
I'm curious as to where the author plans on taking this story ... since I love Grace and Sam's relationship ... I just hope nothing happens to permanently destroy it. *crossing fingers*

Feasted On: True Mates Series, Book 3
Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 307 KB | Release Date: March 2009 | Publisher: Loose Id LLC"Nikolai's Wolf" [True Mates Series, Book 3] by Zena Wynn
My Book Summary : Shannon has had to deal with her older brother (and also her pack leader) pushing possible mates onto her for quite a while now. But she's not scared because being alpha-fem she can fight just as good as her brother and make sure none of them mark her as theirs. Then ... her brother decides to give her a taste of her own medicine and calls a "hunt." That is where all the unmated females in the pack run out into the woods, then minutes later all of the eligible unmated males in the pack chance after them, and whoever claims the female first is mated for life. Shannon wants none of it or the wolves that decide on following her, but when they close in, she tries to fight them off. Thankfully her brother watches the fight to make sure no one gets seriously hurt, yet unfortunately after the fights her brother decides on chancing her off out of his territory and into the wolf territory in the next town, where he believes she'll find a good mate for her while still keeping good standing in the pack which he runs.
The good news is Shannon finds her true mate! The bad news is Nikolai is a vampire! Will she accept his wanting to mate with her? And if so, is she willing to give up everything she knows and loves to do so?
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! I really like how this book was portrayed! Great characters! And I loved the plot!
Book Teaser :
"Yes, I'm on the Pill."
"You have to come off of them."
Her mouth dropped open, and she bit back the urge to rail at him. Did he understand what he was asking her to do? "Alex, you know I can't do that, especially not now." If she did, she might as well lie down in the street naked and hang a sign around her neck that said FUCK ME. ~ within Chapter 3

Made the Grade: Imperia Series, Book 1
Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 305 KB | Release Date: March 2009 | Publisher: Harlequin Books"The Stone Prince" (as of 2020 this novel has been retitled too: "Prince of Stone") [Imperia Series, Book 1] by Gena Showalter
My Book Summary : A brotherly feud gets out of hand ... turning one brother into a statue. Such things happen when they both have the powers of sorcerers. However, by the following day Percen finds that his vengeance against his brother, Jorlan, has to be delayed since Jorlan, now a statue, is no where to be found. Later he finds that their mother has sent Jorlan away from Percen's vengeance and also in hopes he'll find the one true person to complete him and cure him from the spell. Therefore, Percen sets out to find Jorlan and if he has broken from the curse when he does so, then he'll kill him.
But as only a day has passed on Imperia about a thousand years or so have passed on Earth, where Jorlan now happens to be waiting for that one woman to be the cure to his curse. Finally, that day arrives and his savior is Katie, a woman who is more likely to do the guy thing instead of the girl thing in any situation. However, to save Jorlan, Katie must do more then just kiss him, she must profess her love for him and mean it. Which scares the shit out of her! So, she tries to keep him at arms length as much as possible ... but how long can she truly keep that distance going? And will she be able to save him before Percen arrives to get his final revenge?
My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. I had such hopes for this book. *sigh* I mean it was good .... but around chapter 19 or so I was getting sick of Katie, who kept running away from her feelings just because she never believed what he said. I just wanted to smack her. But this book did make me laugh ... cry ... smile .... and it had a great ending!

Book Teaser :
"As you won't be getting pummeled in this house, I feel no responsibility to respond to that statement."
He crossed his arms and gave her an amused look. "Your denials grow tiresome."
His self-assured pitch irked her, so she placed her hands on her hips and glared at him. "Did you ever consider the fact that I could have a boyfriend? Someone I'm in love with and committed to?" ~ within Chapter 4

Francesca will continue to heal you and you will cease to worry over trivial matters such as this ugly argument. They cannot touch your life, little one. They will never be allowed to do so.

"Waiting On" Wednesday: Glimmerglass
"Glimmerglass" [Faeriewalker, Book 1] by Jenna Black
Publication Released Date: May 25, 2010
Book Description:- Dana Hathaway doesn't know it yet, but she's in big trouble. When her alcoholic mom shows up at her voice recital drunk, again, Dana decides she’s had enough and runs away to find her mysterious father in Avalon: the only place on Earth where the regular, everyday world and the captivating, magical world of Faerie intersect. But from the moment Dana sets foot in Avalon, everything goes wrong, for it turns out she isn't just an ordinary teenage girl—she's a Faeriewalker, a rare individual who can travel between both worlds, and the only person who can bring magic into the human world and technology into Faerie.
Soon, Dana finds herself tangled up in a cutthroat game of Fae politics. Someone's trying to kill her, and everyone seems to want something from her, from her newfound friends and family to Ethan, the hot Fae guy Dana figures she’ll never have a chance with... until she does. Caught between two worlds, Dana isn’t sure where she’ll ever fit in and who can be trusted, not to mention if her world will ever be normal again...
There's seems to be a lot of books like this coming out lately, like "The Iron King", but it definitely interests me to see the different take on this type of thing. Especially to get into another type of faerie world! =0)
