This is what happened to Sara Miles, the atheist, takes communion in a San Fransisco Episcopal church.

Her interactions with Gary and Quincy and the other officers and staff was not forced or unbelievable, but accurate (seemingly at least, after all I have never been on a space ship) and to the point.

Holly Jacobs is a master at representing real family life in her books and helping us to realize what love and life are all about. She can make us sigh with happiness, cry with sorrow, and laugh out loud at the humor. I know after reading Same Time Next Summer, I am reminded that family is what really matters. I can already see myself on my next beach vacation, chasing shadows alongside of the little ones in my extended family. We may not catch the shadows, but we will certainly catch happy memories. That's what really matters in the long run. +In the final chapter on belief, Boyer discounts Robert Nozick's widely held explanation of religion as `a particular feature of the human mind that creates the whole of religion, a central metaphysical urge that is the origin of all religion, an irredeemable human propensity to superstition, myth and faith'. Yet, rather frustratingly, Boyer admits that the `central question: Why do some people believe and not others? . . . is very likely to remain unsolved'. Overall it seems that the varieties of religious experience rest on the varieties of mental experience and the social utility of following such beliefs within a religion. + + +And Max. Such a vulnerable yet strong man. He knows what he wants and even though he obviously loves Hunter, he isn't willing to settle for less than he wants and deserves. + +I have the strong feeling that Remi's character is changed a lot from the previous enstallment. In Without Reservation he is an interesting supporting character, but apart the physical beauty and a cocky attitude, no more else gave you the real impression of him. Instead he is a complex character, with a secret past which is a real twist in the actual story (no want to give off the story, so no hints on it). +His domination was supposed to be all for her pleasure, but where is his consideration for her pleasure, her heart, her feelings, her peace of mind, ANY OTHER TIME?!? He was going to make this decision, but he didn't even really consult Sarah. While he is gone, he sounds off over the limited communication time he has to another woman. He comes back and expects her to fall into his arms in a very, "where's my supper, wench," sort of way. He gets jealous, but doesn't understand that she might be have feelings, too, like, say, jealousy over the other woman he has talked to more than he talked to her. Disregards her in decision-making, controlling, displays a complete lack of understanding of her feelings...hmm, still not spelling "good husband material" to me. +8745 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This another great book by Dana Marie Bell - you will love reading Gabe and Sarah's story. The week after they realize they are destined mates, Gabe is called to begin intensive training with the elite hunter agency that polices rogue shifters. It is both a dream come true - because of the opportunity to train and learn from the best of the best - and a nightmare - because of being separated from his newly discovered, unclaimed mate. Gabe, like the dominant, alpha he is, decides that he doesn't need to mark Sarah and make their mating official until he gets back - he thinks the separation so soon after joining would be even harder on them. Of course, this does not turn out to be the best course of action, since some stupid decisions on his part - including his close friendship with another female shifter in town who he manages to stay in touch with more often than his mate - as well as his giving said female friend jewelry as a Christmas present while he is home on leave and Sarah is away (Sarah thinks he didn't get her anything because he wants to give her her gift in person - of course he doesn't tell her this) - leave Sarah feeling abandoned and unloved for most of the 6 long and agonizing months that they are apart. Needless to say, when they finally meet up again at the airport for a trip to a friend's wedding & Gabe's friend, Chloe, makes a huge public display by running and jumping into his arms for an extended hug while Sarah looks on before he even says so much as hello to her - Sarah is seriously hurt and angry and definitely doesn't roll out the welcome mat for him. Read to find out how they resolve their issues - this book is steamy and funny - like some of the other books in this serious.

We got to see the growing pains associated with the first year of marriage without weak blackmail schemes or plots for ruination (But I do like those, sometimes). Whether in an arranged marriage or not newlyweds have to go through this stage. This was not as good as Doukakis's Apprentice, but fine work from Sarah Morgan just the same. +5125 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a book about secrets, the biggest destroyer of relationships.

I loved the premise and especially how the two characters met. I found myself laughing at the antics of Llew's brothers, mostly because they couldn't understand how Llewellyn could succumb so easily to one woman. Add three crabby and mischievous fairy godmothers and my reading was filled with love and laughter. I found Jessaline to be Llew's perfect mate.

God bless +2073 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Our human nature drives us to want to know the "real story" behind great historical personalities. Much like "People" or "Us" magazine, Suetonious gives his readers back curtain access to the lives of the rich and famous. No salacious story nor tantalizing scandal is ignored. While many of his portaits are interesting, most of the biographical sketches are ultimately mere fluff. Enjoyable but disjointed if you do not know your Roman history. Finally, the great British actor Derek Jacobi's audio performance really lifts what is really a three star book. +5896 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was a fun read and a little different for Cascadia. Where all of the other stories focus on the mated pair and the problems with the Pellini Group, this one seems to focus more on the family and the problems are ony between the mated pair. While the Pellini Group are still there in the background, this story focuses on the chance meeting of a mated pair at a wedding. +3864 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I like this book. I like westerners cowboys the best. I have a great many books. I like the way thestory line goes. It was a good read. I would recommend this book. +1.)Even though these works have a definitive Young Adult orientation, I (as an adult with maybe a YA mind) continue to enjoy this series more and more with each book; I look forward to getting a few spare minutes to continue reading.

Jane MacGuire, now a 21-year-old college student, is a success by any definition as she juggles work, education, friends, and family with equal aplomb. She is still haunted, however, by the memory of the intriguing, enigmatic, and dangerous Mark Trevor. When an attempted kidnapping of MacGuire ends unsuccessfully, but nonetheless tragically, Trevor makes a sudden and dramatic return into MacGuire's life.

You are sensing and going through the fear and tension that the common soldier has.

Life was very hard in this book and it was good to see how they stood strong and managed to get through it with God's help. We are very blessed today in that life is easier than ever before as much has been given to us. We still need God to get us through this broken world. + +2880 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Both The Gift of Rain and Eng's other book, The Garden of Evening Mists, are unlike any I've read. Lyrical, magical, I never wanted them to end. Stories taking place in locations I visited in the 70's,so I felt a slight connection. Plot and character development are excellent. I have recommended these books to everyone I meet! +3. Brief, unwarranted shifts in point of view were disorienting. It really doesn't matter that much what Olivia thinks when on the phone with Viola. Just stick with Viola. Omniscience almost never works. +The Plot: Wildwood Dancing is a retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses fairy-tale. The main character, Jenica, is responsible for looking out for her four sisters while their father is away from the castle for health reasons. Jena struggles to maintain control with her domineering cousin, Cezar, attempting to seize control. Cezar is deeply troubled by the loss of his elder brother, Costin, who is believed to have been taken by the folk that dwell in the mysterious forest. Cezar is determined to hunt down and kill all of the folk of the Wildwood to avenge his brother's death. This is problematic for Jenica and her sisters because they have visited the realm of the Other Kingdom for years, since they were children, and have come to regard the Wildwood folk as an extension of their family. +Okay what I did like was the anticipation of the climax. I did like Gabrielles guards. I loved the 5 yr old twin boys being added to the story (Garwood does excellent children characters) because this story needed some sort of comic relief. So all in all, not the best of her historicals but I still enjoyed it a lot. + +955 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 As a mestiza, I was very excited to see this collection of folk tales, hoping to get a new cultural perspective. But I really didn't enjoy this work. +I'm giving only two stars because it was misleading and I am wasting time calling customer service, writing this review, wrapping the items back up, and then dropping them off to be sent. But they were worth the price and do look nice. +1376 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 When her son came out, everyone in the family said, "He can't be gay. He's a Christian." Not one of them said, "He's a Christian and he's gay. Maybe we were wrong." He's treated with such ignorant rudeness that he leaves. The writer lost two sons--I don't understand why she tossed the 3rd one away. In another sections, she's diagnosed with Type 2 diabetis. The MD suggests she go go a support group. Halfway through the meeting, she leaps to her feet and lectures the other. She tells everyone they are wimps and she's not going to allow them to get her down. How rude, mean and condescending. There were people there who may have to face amputation, who have to change their life styles--and she just blew their concerns off because she was so cool and clever. She says she's a Christian and I will not judge her--but in my experience, CHristians are kinder and more loving when others are grieving. +Nice storx, nice characters ... nice family + + +"Yes, I had noticed," the Earl said gently. +2324 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Unexpected story.

I don't have the money for a Kindle, I don't have my own computer with internet access, and this book has been 'out' (no pun intended) for ages! I want to read more than just a stupid excerpt, I want to read this book! I know it's more environmentally-friendly...for at least a decade or so...and better for the economy not to put so many books in print, to have them on a Kindle instead, but I NEED this book in print.

I could reread it over and over and over again and not get bored with it. It's been a good few years since my last time reading this, so it was almost like the first time. +Loads of hot sex. + +This is a really good book. The characters (small town, generally older population) were all interesting and entertaining. I didn't see the main character, Annike, as her age--almost 40. She seemed to be younger, both in maturity and attitude. But the chemistry between her and Sarkisian, the sheriff, is just wonderful. It was blatantly obvious that a romance would be developing between them eventually (although nothing happens between them in this book, it's set up to possibly happen later on in the series). +Hailey and Gage figure it out with the help of family and friends, just the way it should be. +8358 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great! + +598 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I was worried this book would be cheesy.

It is about a young mixed race boy in Malaysia right before WWII. Then the Japanese invade Malaysia and it shows how horrible war, all war, is and how many innocent people are affected. Like now in the Middle East. +1012 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It's extremely nice to be able to still keep up with what is happening on the world stage from my new home overseas.

When looking at the Holocaust, one might wonder if there was there anyone who was in a position to try and stand up to those who were instrumental in bringing it about. And if there were, what their fate was?

But that is clearly inconsistent both with Marx's and Engels' own treatment of history and with the dialectical conception of reciprocal interaction.

He goes through some of the horrendous decisions of the Court such as Dred Scott, Plessy v. Ferguson, and the the McCain-Feingold Act. +Galas story Dianas friend/companion was thrown in as well and it was sexy and served a purpose in the story. Though, for me, I would rather have had more Diana and Salin scenes. Even so, it was a fun, quick read. Super sexy, very enjoyable. Lots of hot BDSM sex. +1460 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Heartwarming! Just a really good book. You don't want it to end! I can't wait to get my hands on the movie and watch it! +Perhaps the most terrifying aspect about this novel is the fact that people DO see Alice regularly. Despite her dirty, half-starved, emotionally unstable appearance, Alice and Ray's apartment complex neighbors obediently believe they are father and daughter, and question nothing. Alice herself frequently wonders how people can not *see* what's right before their eyes; and as readers, we too are forced to wonder about the horrors that may be unfolding unnoticed in our own lives. + +Chandler's famous fictional detective, Philip Marlowe does not appear in any of the short stories in this book because these are his earlier works. They appeared in magazines and he hadn't dreamt up Marlowe yet. But the stories are so worth reading. One of Chandler's gifts is his ability to describe people, places and the times without being at all boring. The net result is that, while you're reading, you're there, back in the Los Angeles of the 1930's and 40's, experiencing how it used to look, how it once felt, what life there was once like. It's almost intoxicating in its effects. + + +4705 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I tend to shy away from books in which the characters jump right into bed after first meeting. This book is not like that. The main characters have a nice back story and a long history. This was a quick read and I liked that it dealt with issues facing women in this day and age. +My Take +Having engaged in such a naughty act, Alexa is understandably distracted but with a major contract depending on her presentation she does her best to pull it together. The last thing she expects is to see Justin enters the boardroom and introduce himself as J. Winston. He's dressed impeccably in business attire and acting like he's never seen her before. Alexa's furious that he would deceive her in such a manner and once the business meeting is over she unleashes her rage on him. She even goes so far as to turn down his offer of the job. What Alexa doesn't realize is that J. Winston and Justin are not the same person but they do know each other - and because Justin has been searching for her since their dalliance letting her get away now simply isn't going to happen. +The main characters don't interact a lot with the supporting characters, but there are some interesting figures: Garrett, Kasey's brother, Paul, Kasey's teammate, but also Bo, Gram's employee and Colville, another pro basketball player. Since this is the first book in a series, I think we will have the chance to read something on one or plus of these characters. +The author did a beautiful job bringing us a romantic story of two people: Lorren Jacobs and Dr. Justin Madaris who both has some baggage that each would have to overcome before things started to happening good for them mentally, physically and even emotionally. "Tonight and Forever" was truly a good story of how these two found the true love that they both needed the second time around. The novel is definitely a attention grabber that will keep you reading and even wanting more at the end. +The only reason I didn't give the book five stars was because I understand it's short, but I think that things happened too fast between Fiona and Aidan. I understand she was scared and running, but it seems she gave in to willingly when help was offered +Writing Style: 5 Stars +Frank himself is a philanderer and I feel sorry for several of his conquests. +4324 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Wonderful stories, I have loved Winnie the Pooh since I was little and just not found the actual stories to read. I loved them as much if not more than the Disney movies. +So, sounds almost good, right, even though this premise has been done 500 times we can suspend disbelief. The problem lies in the way it was written. In the last few chapters, there is no emotion to the way the author wrote the scenes. The lack of emotion is so noticeable such that you don't really feel the angst and suffering of h. The big reveal was too clinical. It just ruined the ending for me. There were also some threads to the story that appear to be hanging out there. It almost feels like the author started out so passionately and then just wanted to get it over with near the end. +What are the signs of a true believer? + + +6648 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 An interesting idea, but I would not recommend this book to my friends. There are some errors. I'm not sure if they are from bad formatting or from author/editor error, so I won't fault the author on that. However, I do fault the author for not being able to decide if he was writing for an adult audience or a YA audience. I wish he had made up his mind. I'm not sure how to explain it, but sometimes it felt childish and other times it seemed a bit 'too much'. YA-lit is a tough thing to write. It's always a fine line between being too watered down and being over the top. +1928 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 where's the friggin' "don't care to review" button? +9033 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 While I read a lot. I found his style difficult to keep hold of. His popular works seem to be an easier read. +9662 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is the third of his books that I have read. He writes multi-dimensional characters who aren't just good or evil, good visual imagery and his plots always entertain. His characters have un-PC flaws making them more realistic; I don't know any perfect people. + +4428 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I have read and enjoyed many of Abigail Reynolds alternative P&P books but this one just did not "do it for me". It just was not true to characters and quite frankly just wasn't that interesting. + + + + +1833 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great story and very emotional not to mention full of surprises to say the least. I couldn't put it down. +You know some things don't matter that much, Lily. Like the color of a house. How big is that in the overall scheme of life? But lifting a persons heartnow, that matters. The whole problem with people is They don't know what matters and what doesnt I was gonna say, The problem is they know what matters, but they don't choose it. You know how hard that it is, Lily?

I've since read the rest of the series and loved all of them as well. Even though I read it a few years ago, this one lingers in my mind. I often think of the opening scene of this novel. I highly recommend the entire series. +2405 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Very good English translation of the 1215 text and well researched biographies of the principle players.. +6471 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I ordered this for research purposes. Very interesting text and easy to use. + +Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed + +That aliens might be hostile is something Stephen Hawking has already talked about. That their technology would be way beyond ours is a given. The use of mass drivers to hurl rocks at a planet has already been shown to great effect in the television series Babylon 5 when the Centauri used such devices to attack the Narn homeworld. They would have the same effect on the Earth as covered in this book. +Elizabeth Lennox has fast become one of my favorite romance authors, but the Attracelli family as a whole are my favorite characters of hers that I've found so far. +Personally I think it sounds worth a read, as long as the reader doesn't expect the heart-touching prose of Gone With the Wind or Cold Mountain. I'm giving it 4 stars for in-depth history deducting 1 star for its fiction drawbacks. +9887 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Very short, I finished this in 20 minutes, but it was a very enjoyable 20 minutes. The author's style is light and descriptive, it made me want to have an illustrated edition so I could enjoy looking at the pictures described. The imagery stays with me, well done. +1381 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A very good book-really enjoy Dr Stanley's viewpoints. Delivered very quickly and was in excellent(like new) condition.

The description given fits the book that comes in the set with: +60 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A great little chapter to read on my Kindle, but not necessarily worth the price. It would have been a nice addition to The Courtship of Princess Leia or an add on to Tatooine Ghost. I liked it, but when it doesn't even rate being published as a paperback; an avid Star Wars fan you will need to be to download and read this eBook. + + + +941 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Note the title. This is a selection of fairy tales, in fairly poor translation, not the full "Grimm's Fairy TALES", or "Household Stories" collection. There are places where the stories seem to drop off or change direction suddenly mid-stream. "The Little Brother and Little Sister", for example, is missing a paragraph that is in other versions, which is needed to follow the plot. +I highly recommend this book as you see how God works in it. + + + +4181 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent book written by a gifted author. Sara Miles takes us from her atheist background to her conversion to her experiences with food pantries. I love the way she talks of working with not only those in her church but the volunteers who appear after receiving food. I couldn't put this book down and am reading her latest book "The City of God." +8566 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoyed this story. It wasn't too graphic in the love scenes and it told a really good story. Seemed very true to life. Would recommend this book. +6061 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I liked the premise of the book and the characters but I felt like it was cut short. I think it would have been better if a little more effort put into drawing the story out since it seemed condensed. I like how the story starts and there are some great scenes the chemistry between characters is great. Still a fun read. + +Then there is Jacob, the cop who has it all, the job, the reputation, the tall, dark and mysterious heart throb, who by just looking at Vic, people say get a room Is enamored a word still used in romance books? +Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies) + +Elliot is the character I wanted to cuddle. Seriously. Handsome, yes. Young, sure. But in his own way, he'd lived through odd circumstances. I wanted to know a bit more about his back story and his foiled attempts at relationships, but given the length of the story, I still enjoyed learning about him. His strength was what drew me to him. He appeared fragile at times, but it merely masked his true devotion to Cade. Great stuff. +The Julian character was well so different and I found it sexy that he always called Mr. Flynn...David. I thought that was very sexy..I could almost hear him saying it softly. + Janice Mann (dannysmammom@hotmail.com) + + +Author Junot Diaz does a masterful job of weaving these stories together. He gives the reader a genuine insight into living in disfunctional urban America, in which getting through a school day without needing hospitalization is a triumph. He gives the reader an equally deep understanding of the insanity of life in a violent dictatorship, and how people would try to go about their lives while steering clear of the angry, murderous people in power. And then, Dias cuts across those worlds with characters who both live in them in the moment, but also aspire to something different and better. You ache for the unfilled promise of Oscar, the tragedies that befell his mother, and the traumas and disappointments that so many other faced. +4058 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good + +All the Kindle content is like this. This is the evil DRM inherent in the Kindle. It only lets you view the content on the Kindle. No printing articles, no emailing articles to a friend, no using it in presentations. You are stuck.

The company she is currently employed at is coming under new management since her current boss is a lying, incompetent thief. Unfortuantely for Chloe, the new boss is Sean, the guy she slinked off from. Sean is sent to discover who has been stealing from the company, and the fact that Chloe slept with him is just a tad bit too suspicious. The book is listed as erotica for a reason-the sex scenes are explicit. Even more explosive is the show-down between Chloe and Sean. At one point, you want to cringe; at another, you want to cheer. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. + +To this end, the development is specific, concise and nicely drawn. +9443 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The collection revealed what an intricate mind he has. I really enjoyed this collection and it's various twists of the human mind. +6727 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I quit reading when I realized that this wasn't a full story in itself. I have read series before that at least held their own story for that book and continued in others. But I was half way through this book and quit. I just found out the story line when I was half way through. That doesn't bode well for the ending. It will be a huge cliff hanger for sure and I don't go for that when reading. At least it was free on Kindle since I would have to pay alot to continue the story if I chose to. +The characters a wonderfully drawn and the reading group all agree that this is one of the most well written books we have encountered in several years. The main character is a half Chinese, half British youngest of four, the other three are all fully British. +I realize that the story is not an exact parallel, Janet and Charles are married 10 pages into the book, Elyssa's father is dead, and it takes place in America. But it has its own story that captures you and draws you in. I read it in one day, I loved it so much! + + +9071 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really liked the story & I know that it is a Sy-Fy story but it was well written & it was straight to the point. The story line flowed very well & it showed what love should be. + +First of all, if the book was written in 2004, and there is no indication that it is a period piece set in the 1960s-1980s, then why name the protagonist Henry (outside of the royal family, I don't know many Henrys, especially one born in 1942: book set in 2004, Henry is 62, etc). And his wife's name was Irma? Why not Cynthia, or Nancy, or Linda -- names that were popular during the 1940s and don't have a whiff of the 1920s or 30s about them. They were married in the late 1960s -- not right after VJ Day! This may seem minor, but I have little interest in reading about a Henry, or an Irma, even though she dies before the story opens. It ages them for me --- gives, at least to me, an impression of a really, really old married couple. +3860 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I always did prefer Indians over cowboys. There is something about a dark-haired man in a loincloth that calls to me. Oh yeah! Great little hot snack! +2654 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Too suxual! +Reunited, Halt, Horace, Will and Evanlyn are preparing to slip across the Skandian border and resume their homeward journey when they make a terrifying discovery. An entire Temujai army is camped in the wilds of Skandia in preparation for a killing assault on the capital at Hallasholm. More to the point, they are blocking the Araluen party's escape route. Furthermore, Halt knows that if the Temujai are successful in their invasion of Skandia, they will gain the ships they need to spread war to the rest of the Western world - including Araluen. In order to protect the homeland they love Halt, Will, Horace and Evanlyn are going to have to join with their former enemies to defend Hallasholm and the rest of this wild, frozen nation. + +9220 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I'm now half way through the 1st Book of the "Delver Magic" series and LOVING it!

Which is grown...where exactly? +3412 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This whole "instantly recognizing your mate" thing -- I TOTALLY LOVE THAT! And the eyes and teeth "shifting" when emotions run high, very cool!! If you like the genre, you'll like this: family, loyalty, friends, and of course love and romance -- what's not to like? Throw in some decent wolf action, and bam! you've got a story. What I particularly liked about this one is that the couple is decided really quickly at the beginning. There are plenty of stories out there where you've got no idea until 6 pages from the end if the couple's even going to work or not, if the two guys even feel the same way about each other or not. This story's not about that. It's more about how to work together to solve a big problem - the Alpha - and I enjoyed it. +6239 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 An enjoyable read, though at times I got confused about the characters. There are just so many. + +Reviewed by Sharon Lewis +7451 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It's quick and easy to read. Gives me all sorts of stories I'd otherwise have to search out myself. I really enjoy this one and find it helpful. The content is varied as well - sometimes mention of free books, what's happening in the world of Kindle, even some commentary on things. Love it! +But, as you read further, suicide is not only a depressing concept to this family, but is the main reason for the family gathering at the brother Liam's wake. And, as the large family congregates for the wake, she realizes that the family has cliques and more within its foundation. "We do not always like the people we love - we do not always have that choice." "We are born to love the people we otherwise would not care to know." +5771 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Snowbound In Dry Creek,had wonderful character development. I really loved the widow Jenny and her little boy and girl and the way the author developed the wounded cowboy's feelings of love for the children and their mother was so touching. Zach turned out to be great guy,and a wonderful improvement over the detached/uninvolved husband and father they had,had. You can't help but feel thrilled for them. There is some really good physical tension between Zach and Jenny too. ;) +837 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Awesome read... +Content: I enjoyed meeting Dr. Thorndyke and Dr. Jervis but I didn't get as attached to them as to, say, Poirot or Miss Marple or Sherlock Holmes. There was much less of "them" present in the works... although the fact that Dr. Thorndyke never quite figured out how inept Dr. Jervis was grated a little... maybe I am too used to watching Poirot and Holmes watch indulgently as Hastings and Watson bumble along to believe anyone could be blind to his inadequacies. The mysteries themselves were generally pretty decent, and the detective work was quite interesting. Of the three long tales one of the three was incredibly predictable, and two of the three were moderately predictable. The short stories were far more enjoyable although they were also mostly predictable. They were fun and kept me reading more so than the novels did. If I had to guess at the goal of the author just from these four works I would have to say that he was trying to illustrate new methods of detection and problem solving in an entertaining way much more than he was trying to tell stories about interesting characters. Novels 3.5 stars. Short stories 4 stars. +8941 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A few days ago I ranted about writing love scenes in a bland, cliche fashion--throbbing members, cream, tight sheaths, etc. Well in Bite of Silence you won't be getting that. Indeed Hughes writes scintillating, love making scenes, with a light touch. There is no typical nookie here! If there is any issue with the book it is the titanic dimensions of the immortal Spartan in Twyla's dreams. his hand spanned her entire back. And, the size of certain parts of his anatomy defy all logic (In Young Frankenstein, Inga, played by Teri Garr, calls it a Scwann Schtucker). +8201 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Very well written, characters intermingle between books, keeps readers attention, full of sexual energy + + + + There were complaints that Diamond had overlooked the contrast between temperate and tropical zones (he didnt) and that he had only explained what happened 500 years ago but not subsequently (untrue). It might appear that at least some of Diamonds critics never read the book. +The author supplied me with a copy of this manuscript with no request for a review. The views expressed in the review are my own. +Although the initial setup of the book may make you think this is a historical romance, it is not. The world is generic king and castle fantasy, but there isn't any realism or research. It's maybe England, but witches were burnt at the stake at some point (witches were hung in England and England's witch craze happened AFTER the vagueish time period of this book). There are open lesbians (who have threeways with the queen). Illegitimate children can somehow inherit their father's title and property. The setting was pretty much whatever the author wanted it to be. + +While we are learning about how Mischief was captured and tortured into complete submission the author also dives into the physiological state of Mischief. There are other interesting aspects to this story. There is a whole hierarchy of slaves-the top being Personals. +4382 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Brett, the human and Lisa, the vampire, are quite the couple.

Read this steamy short and find out if Brett and Lisa gain a bartender and a third in their bed. +7126 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A great collection of short stories ranging from locked-room mysteries to horrors to parody and satyre :) That being my first "meeting" with J. A. Konrath I have to say I can't wait to read any of his full-length novels. + +4647 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a good book, but it really touches on a lot of sadness. The author has to hit on being gay, lesbian, adopting a Chinese child, dying in the Twin Towers and losing a child. Over all the book is good, but for me she could have left out being a gay, lesbian and adopting a Chinese child and death in the Twin Towers. The lesbian part was just too much information for me and I think the book could have been well written without including that or the gay aspect. I know the author was telling everyone how knitting can help one overcome some of life's problems, but she got to in depth on the lesbian and gay part for me. +6204 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I love historical romances. The author has a talent for weaving a rich story in this rather violent time period. +A few stories seem to have no point or plot at all, or added endings, although "Catherine and Frederick" is only a little worse here than in other versions I have found. Most of the good stories are repeated in better collections. + +I loved the book, I don't regret reading it and I would read it again If I wanted too without hesitation, but after the trauma goes away. + +My fingers are crossed that Wanda gets her own story next!!! + +The story line is suspenseful; pertinent to racial and disability issues; full of striking banter; and descriptive to a certain local. This book is, hopefully, the beginning of great added pleasure to the LONGMIRE TV show that prompted me read the originals in the first place!!! +9432 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Amsterdam 2012 was a very good book. I really enjoyed it and finished reading it in only two days. I wish it had gone on longer, but the ending is a satisfying one.

The main characters use intelligence and ingenuity to meet the overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable odds that face them. There are so many twists and turns and Halt, Will, Horace, Evanlyn & Erak step up to the challenge with their usual tenacity, sense of humor and strength of character. +9865 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Talk about on the job training! Juniper Bell's latest release, TRAINING THE RECEPTIONIST is a naughty look at what really goes on behind office doors. City girl Dana Arthur's first day at her new job is nothing like she expected but more than she ever wants to ever give up. +2427 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Yeah he invited his ex to the wedding. Why? Never discovered that. Also why was he making out with said ex? As someone else commented: why would the author even involve the ex's in this story if the situations weren't going to be resolved. That was very annoying. He just wanted her to trust him on things and accept, but what he was asking was what she had lived with all her life and she didn't want a life like that. + + +One of them being the Granite Lake Beta, Erik. And there's an immediate recognition that passes thru between them. They are mates. Not sure if it's because he's described as this huge guy, or the fact that he can actually speak Russian, or maybe it's because he's actually really cute and funny... but I loved Erik. Big and cuddly, hot and sensual, possessive and understanding. +8189 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 'Of Mice and Men' is a very good book, and it is easy to see why so many high school english classes have it on their syllabus. It's well-written, thematic, heart-wrenching, and compact. The tale of George and Lennie and their struggle to get ahead in the face of a world is something many can relate to. +6413 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Brenda Jackson is an amazing author and I sincerely love her writing.

I would have preferred a little more depth but I also understand that he is writing many more books with the same characters so I understand not fleshing everything out in the first book. I will DEFINITELY be purchasing more of this author's works but have to take it slow on disability income. Otherwise I would purchase the writers entire inventory from Amazon kindle store.

I initially thought that Liam was going to be the hero of this story not his brooding Laird brother. +Rosalyn Landor reads this -- need I say more? +I have craved Scott's story since Annmarie McKenna first released Blackmailed. His characterization was realistic and his emotions were valid. Never having given his blindness a second thought, Scott knew that given the chance, he could take care of Tara, and that is just what he did. + + + +6233 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Titania Hardie has written a mysterious book that ties together the lives of two people, an immunologist, Dr. Alexander Stafford and his patient, Lucy King in unimaginable ways which eventually leads to romance. Their strong feelings of attraction are mixed in with complicated matters that relate back approximately 400 years to one of Dr. Stafford's ancestors, Dr. John Dee who was a close confidant and advisor to Queen Elizabeth. Dr. John Dee was a mathematician and an alchemist, who also invested much of his time studying esoteric and religious matters, including how to communicate with angels. He left two keys which would unlock boxes that contained puzzling documents which were entrusted to Dr. Stafford's youngest brother, Will. The keys were supposed to be passed on to the next female in line of succession but because Mrs. Stafford had no daughters, she entrusted this family secret to Will. Will was a free-lance photographer who had travelled to dangerous areas of the world, hot posts where revolution and famine struck. After discovering the documents entrusted to him, Will went to Chartres Cathedral in France to walk the labyrinth and experience some of what his ancestor had written about. After returning to his home in the UK, he met a tragic and unexpected death on his motorcycle after crossing a bridge not far from his destination. + + (1) I thought the last 10% of the book was disappointing and paled in comparison with the brilliance of the other 90% of the book. Diaz could have done a lot better with Oscar's demise and for me the plot line he took didn't resonate. +9709 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was my latest whim purchase.

I enjoyed this book very much. +Writing Style: 4 3/4 Stars + +A human can only become a vampire if they contain a rare blood antigen, and each vampire has one human with the antigen (a chosen) whom they feel drawn to protect. A government agency, DPI (department of paranormal investigations), is out to capture and make lab rats out of every vampire possible and they're not above using The Chosen to do it. And if they can't capture, they don't hesitate to kill. +I loved seeing Kaylee as a somewhat average teenager. All she really worried about was school and how to get back at he ex-boyfriend. She is almost carefree, in comparison to Kaylee once she finally understands what and who she is. You get to see glimpses of the strong character that she will become throughout the series. + +P.S.

My parents were great ones for quoting all kinds of sayings, from Biblical to Omar Khayy`am, so I really enjoy pulling this up and browsing through it. +Kirkpatrick emphasizes -- perhaps overemphasizes -- some of the most familiar aspects of the Facebook story. That Zuckerberg was 19 years old in 2004 when he started the service as a Harvard undergraduate. And that he almost invariably dresses in T-shirts and flip-flops. Yet throughout The Facebook Effect, Kirkpatrick treats us to scene after scene in which Zuckerberg transcends his age by decades, displaying a depth of understanding, a mastery of strategy, and a steadiness of purpose worthy of the most seasoned CEO. + +7341 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I downloaded this for my Kindle not knowing what to expect. It just sounded like an interesting book. I really ended up enjoying this book a lot. It is a very classic fantasy tale with a lot of humor woven throughout. + +Rating: R (With this subject matter, the reasons are obvious) + +Anna can't believe Nikos wants to marry her. How can he think it would work when she left him months before because she thought he was having an affair with his new secretary? Anna had once been Nikos PA and loved the job and working for him. She didn't count on falling in love with him, becoming his mistress and expecting his baby. When she found out she was pregnant, everything changed.....Nikos insisted she quit her job and stay at home until the baby was born. When she thought he was having an affair, she left and had her baby on her own. +Because there might be a way for her to escape, and this is at the beginning of the story, she accepts the latter.

It made me think and appreciate the love and beauty in my life. +4153 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A must read for anyone who has an interest in History, The Constitution, and The Founding Fathers of The United States of America. +Levin makes the same kind of rhetorical blunders when he suggests that Blackmun may have turned 'left' under the influence of his wife (while giving a little shot in the arm to Richard Nixon for having the foresight of wanting to base a Supreme Court nomination partly on the quality of a man's wife). When discussing the famous argument over the inclusion of "under God" in the pledge of allegiance, Levin focuses more on how much the plaintiff's daughter actually wanted to say the phrase, which is of course moot when considering the actual legitimacy of requiring the phrase in a patriotic statement. +The dialog seemed unnatural in many places. Ellysa says of Denton (Darcy), "That would certainly present me with a great misfortune, as I am determined to despise the man" and he describes her appearance as "tolerable." The author is trying to slip in some Austenesque language in her modern retelling, but you can't have it both ways. +Filled with memorable characters: Oscar, who only wants to be loved, and becomes stupidly brave at the end. His mother, the beautiful Beli, whose determination got her hurt, but regardless, she believed in love, despite so many bad things that happening to her. Her hope was shocking. Odd, she was so indifferent to her equally gorgeous daughter, Lola, her firstborn. +A man and a woman, mythological and historical characters that you have probably heard of, but changed in this book, end up opponents down through the ages, a conflict that his its root in their original meeting. + +9256 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I really enjoyed the plot idea. Loved how the main character came home to take care of her mother after her marriage fell apart. Thought there was a lot of potential for conflict just from the age differences and the pain the past had left in both the hero and the heroine. + +Buy this one. + +As with his prior volume, Professor Hett's research is impeccable, as reflected in 52 pages of notes (mostly German-language sources) and a helpful "Note on Sources." Included as an appendix is a transcript of Litten's cross of Hitler that had such an impact on both their lives. The author is very skillful in explaining German legal procedures and the historical background of Litten's story. My only complaint is there are occasional efforts to explain Litten's actions as reactions to his strict Konigsberg law professor father, which I found somewhat speculative. The book well illustrates a major truth of history: important developments often come at the hands of not particularly pleasant people. Litten was not a warm and cuddly character--but he was an important historical personage, which we now can appreciate given this fine volume. +1354 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond +In short, Marx took the various strands of Enlightenment thought and action and grafted those developments onto a theory, not fully formed at the time, of how the proletariat was to arise and take over the reins of society for the benefit of all of society and end class struggle as the motor force of history. Unfortunately, given the rocky road of socialist thought and action over the last 160 years, we are, impatiently, still waiting for that new day. + +6601 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I couldn't get into this one, sorry to the writer. Just didn't grab me. Wouldn't buy... may give it another try, but I doubt it. +Boyer's answer is a complex one, and only the barest out-line is possible here. In fact, he even makes a point out of its complexity: there isn't a simple solution to the problem "why religion". Boyer believes that religion is rooted in the way our brains work, in our cognitive processes. Many different cognitive processes are interacting to create religious concepts. Religion seems to be caused by the normal functioning of the human mind, with its decoupling, inference systems, and instincts. It may even be connected with obsessive-compulsive behaviour to relieve anxiety, not to mention the fact that counter-intuitive information is more attention-grabbing and easier to recall than normal information! Human fear of corpses is another important factor, and this fear in turn is created by the collision of several cognitive processes. If the religious concepts created by our minds are seen as socially relevant, they will tend to spread and become dominant, which explains why most religious beliefs are centred on gods and spirits, creatures that resemble humans in some ways, but seem to have access to a lot of socially relevant information. This presumably also explains why worship of ancestral spirits is one of the most common forms of religious behaviour. + + +7713 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Jim Richards was not aging gracefully. On the other side of sixty and living with his parents, he was disgruntled with his life. An e-mail from an old flame sparked his rebirth. Someone was targeting former cheerleaders. He soon found a reason to try harder. Life began again once the murders were solved. Fascinating people with a realistic story will keep you glued to the last page. Like me, you will want to read more! +6237 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The lengthy reviews say it all. It was quite fun and fast. There were little inserts that fell flat of purpose now and then. I love dragons so was thrilled she got one but sad he gave up his own. Loads of adventure and fish eating. Look forward to another +I had a very hard time putting the book down and was very happy that it was a long novel. I cant wait to get the next one.. +My favorite part was reading about Charles and Anna meeting for the first time. I love seeing their reactions to each other and realizing that they want to be mates. It was a good call on Patricia Briggs's part to start this series, because I think Charles is such an awesome character and it's a shame we don't see him more in the Mercy Thompson series. Anna is also extremely cool; she's tough while not being overly aggressive and she's keeps calm in the face of danger. After reading about Adam saving Mercy all the time, it's kind of fun reading about a girl saving a guy's ass when he gets himself into trouble. +As for the human race being possible seven million years old, it is too far a stretch of the imagination to consider, especially as this otherwise decent theory stems from a man who believes all human societies have the same survival and learning abilities. A decent three-hour presentation of this book as been made by the National Geographic Society. +In this story, the Trojans sail to Llangarlia on Albion as victims of a great scheme by the great-great-granddaughter of Ariadne to reconstruct the Game (or labyrinth) of Troy upon the Veiled Hills above the banks of the River Llan. She is the only surviving Mistress of the labyrinth and Brutus is the only surviving Kingman. Together the two can rebuild the Trojan Game and Brutus will sacrifice almost anything to gain that power. Strangely, however, he can't quite sacrifice Cornelia. + + +4 Stars. +9369 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely LOVE this book. This is the first book that I read from Beth Kery and I fell in love with this author - I have searched out her other books and am quick to read anything new from her!! +But let me tell you the part that really got me about this story. There is NO character growth on Nina's part. There is no maturity attained. There is nothing. Not only that, she doesn't plan on maturing, on allowing for growth. At the very end of the book, right before they marry, Nina recounts all of her character flaws, both in her head and out loud to Vampire Hunk. Every.last.one.of.them. And Vampire Hunk rejoices in her difficult personality. Seriously, dude. This may be charming now because as Vampire Hunk you are used to people bowing and scraping and kissing up to you. How charming that she doesn't. But let me tell you, that will get old fast. You can't even say hello to this woman without her getting upset. You can't give her a gift without her doubting its sincerity. +2535 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I heard about the HG site and the daily emails, from the weight Watchers message board. I Love and look fwd to getting the daily HG msgs, recipes, hints, many many things and all so helpful, fresh, Cheerful and interesting ! + +The Cold Dish: A Walt Longmire Mystery +327 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 A dated work, soon after its publication on February 21, 1848. +That is until a charismatic magician who goes by the name of Hex stumps ever-cynical Rory with a truly puzzling magic trick and opens his eyes to the Mannahatta that has always existed in the corners of his eyes. Once Rory starts seeing these mysterious sights --- including cockroaches riding on rats, vicious gargoyles, early-20th-century ruffians, and Indians who hunt in Central Park --- he is also able to show these phenomena to Bridget, who has her own role to play. + + + +The story is not very long, less than 90 pages, but it's very erotic. From the first time Kasey and Gram have a very intense relationship and they are driven by lust most of the time. Since Kasey is a 23 years old guy that for sometime was deprived of a sexual partner, I think it's not strange that now that he can have someone near him, he is in frenzy to make up for the lost time. Plus it was a true discovery that Kasey is a totally bottom. I'm used to sports characters to be always very manly, even if gay, and usually they are totally top. Instead Kasey wants to be mastered, even if he is a pushy bottom. +The dialog seemed unnatural in many places. Ellysa says of Denton (Darcy), "That would certainly present me with a great misfortune, as I am determined to despise the man" and he describes her appearance as "tolerable." The author is trying to slip in some Austenesque language in her modern retelling, but you can't have it both ways. +9488 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I loved it, it kept me interested the whole time. I didn't want to put it down. Well worth the price. + +5761 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a must read for everyone, it is so informative. +3719 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another great YA book from John A Flanagan. Strong characters, both male and female, face many plot twist before the last page. Can't wait to get the next book. + +Simplified, Marx is speaking of the root cause for industrial Capitalism...the steam engine, but that beginning of industrial Capitalism only exists to the extent of (1) the already existing industrial Capitalist division of labor that manufactured the component parts for the steam engine; (2) the already existing industrial Capitalist capital goods/intermediate goods industries that manufactured the constituent parts that went into the construction of the steam engine; (3) the already existing industrial Capitalist capital goods/intermediate goods industries that manufactured the machines that the steam engine powers; and (4) an already existing industrial Capitalist division of labor that manufactures those machines powered by the steam engine! +Henry Standing Bear runs a bar, the Red Pony, just outside town; it's part of a community effort. He's also Melissa's uncle. He and Walt have been friends since grade school and he is a Special Forces and political activity veteran. Dena Many Camps is his current lady friend. +8300 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I picked this up for a short read while on vacation and I am sure glad I did. Without spoiling anything, I just want to say that I loved the queen--her background, her actions, and her character arc. I would *love* to see her in a longer story. I also really liked that there was just a touch of magic in the story--it didn't have to be explained or detailed. It just worked and it did its job without being a distraction. The ending gave me a bit of O'Henry--and that is always a great thing. I can't wait to read more by this author! +i won't repeat all of the other comments, i can concur on the difficulties of making the transition to kindle reading. if i was still in a job that had me traveling alot it might make sense but since i pick up my wsj of my front porch it just doesn't work. +Debt Myths +251 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 After reading the Dawn and Heaven series as a teen I decided to read this one because it was from the author herself and not the ghostwriter. It was not in the least what I expected. Although I enjoyed the story line I found it a bit hard to get into and the ending somewhat lacking. I think Capturing Angels will be the next on my list. +5668 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 LOVED IT!! read the whole book in one sitting! kept me entertained! characters were true to life...trying to deal with life as it came & still love whole heartedly keep them coming +8815 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have been receiving this blog since last year when my husband bought me my first Kindle. I love this blog. He updates almost twice a day. And I say almost because I think there was one (maybe) twice in this whole 16 months, there wasn't. That's a great record as far as I see it! So many times I wanted to thank him for his helpful tips and book suggestions. I just find it VERY hard to believe there are only 80 something people that has rated him. If you want to be informed on ALL book types out there I don't know of a better way to get them. And the free books I have gotten and usefull tips, how could you go wrong. I know this much. I just got the Kindle Touch and I'm not sure if I should be able to get this blog on here too without having to subscribe to it again, but come on....for 99 cents a Month I'm not willing to loose this wealth of daily information & savings! I do not have a clue how many hundreds of dollars I have saved on great books over the last year, because of this blog. +805 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Now that the media has jumped off the low-carb bandwagon and has resorted to bashing it to no end, they are desperately looking for another diet plan to embrace. What's interesting is that most of these "new" diet plans are nothing more than just an advanced look at the low-carb lifestyle. +1627 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Hawke, concert pianist and gun fighter, what a combination. Another great adventure of the Hawke. The town allowed Regulators to replace the law in Salcedo, bad move. Hawke and the town's people fight the Regulators for control of their town. A lot of action....ENJOY +7152 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've read this story multiple times, and thoroughly enjoy it each and every time. I look forward to reading all of the books Dana Marie Bell has to offer. + +1485 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Nice introduction to the series. A bit slow, but an OK read. + + + + +I enjoyed this story very much and highly recommend it. + +Mr. Bennet surprised me, in that he didn't object to Mr. Darcy's wanting to speak with him or make any comment to Elizabeth about this request. After all neither she nor Jane have really brought the subject of Mr. Darcy, his fondness for Elizabeth nor the changes in his behaviors up in conversations with Mr. B. or the rest of the family, for that matter. +1661 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I thought this was a quick read. Or perhaps I liked it soo much, I was able to read it fast. It only took me a few hours if that. It was pretty face paced. I hope to see more of Dev and Laine. I enjoyed it. It jumped right into the action and didn't slow down. +Do you think that living the lifestyle of your choice, making the money you deserve and enjoying life is based on something deeper than just making money? Isn't it really about feeling worthy and deserving of making six figures? Isn't it about making money while nurturing healthy self-esteem? + +5359 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I appreciated that this book got to the plot right away. Character development was woven in a seamless manner. Love conquers all. + +5184 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Common sense advice about budgeting and saving money - best book I've ever read on the subject. Love his radio show. +537 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Fast paced, entertaining reading. Definitely recommend for an enjoyable afternoon. Hope the rest of the trilogy are as well written. + I happened to read Angel's Blood first and I don't want to spoil that for you, but the one comment that I will make is that Angel's Pawn has a different feel than Angel's Blood - Angel's Pawn only hints at the darkness of this new series and the beauty, danger and cruelty that is part of the ancient angels' natures. I liked Angel's Pawn and loved Singh's new and original world. + +I really enjoyed the book, which is based on Ann Hoods own story of the loss of her child and the group of women she befriends at the knitting circle in an attempt to save her life. Each woman has their own story of loss and survival and this provides the inspirational factor in an otherwise sad story. +Saves trees, no filthy black ink on your hands. + +So, Living Dead Girl was disturbing. Was it the most disturbing book I read? No. Let's Go Play at the Adams still holds that spot. Did I want Living Dead Girl to be more disturbing? Hell no! It was disturbing enough. It's kind of hard to recommend this, though. If you think that you could deal with this kind of subject, then by all means read Living Dead Girl. It's an extremely powerful novel that should be read. But if you have a weak stomache, then steer clear. +I think besides the idealistic posturing, behind which there are no practicalities for how to bring about their "utopia". I mean who is to oversee that everyone does a certain job or where all products of production are directed, etc. etc.? There is very little of substance here. But then it's aimed at the 19th century working classes who, especially at this time, were very poorly educated, if at all, and so they wouldn't have the critical thinking to dissect the propaganda and lack of pragmatism that the manifesto contains, they would simply swallow the message of "bourgeois bad, working class good, we will make the working class have better living standards". Like a politician, all style, no substance. +6151 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Green Rider may not be groundbreaking in its originality, but it is a very solid, engaging fantasy tale done well. +3420 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 J. L. Langley created a wonderful world of werewolves and mates and love and romance, and With Love is a fun tale indeed. +The second novella Wildwood 1982 1985, deals with Lola, scars sister and her rebellious nature against her dominating mother. She goes through several sexual escapades culminating in Santo Domingo where she falls for a married gansterwhos very jealous wife almost kills her in a sugar cane plantation, brought back to life by her Aunt La Inca: Myots Altagracia Toribio Cabral. +544 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The buyer that I bought this book was really great. I had some issues with the book and the seller was nice +1832 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent read +3058 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What library would be complete without a book about the Titanic? Has tons of eyewitness reports. No illustrations but there are loads of them on line so I don't think the book really suffers from not having any. + I'm all for supporting new authors, and I do give the guy credit for coming up with a good idea. I just wish he had proof read a little better and did some re-writes to fix parts of the story that don't flow well. Also, the first chapter could be dropped completely and it would make the story flow much better. The first chapter sounds like a scifi novel from the 50s, then the rest of the book has a totally different tone. +1964 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Book 4 finally lived up to the reputation for awesomeness the Rangers Apprentice series seems to have. The first three books were carried by a fun, easy going story, but held back by annoying quirks in writing style. Either I was so engaged by this story that I didn't notice, or the writing finally got better. I guess it doesn't really matter, The Battle for Skandia was great! +813 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have researched insulin resistance to the max. Atkins, south beach, no sugar, and on and on. I do read reviews...I ordered this book due to reviews...I am so thankful! Easy to comprehend & very encouraging...gave me hope and a plan to fight diabetes... +9112 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 if you like the sexy exotic type of books, this is a must. Read it a few months back but may just read it again. +Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And highly recommended. +Anyar is a really particular character, he is strong in his weakness. Anyar, as I said before, has not the soul of a warrior, he is more a lover. So, even if the reader sometime would have liked for him to be stronger, and more rebellious, it's not really something that would have gone with his character. Anyar conquers people not with a sword, but with liquid and imploring eyes, and his last sacrificial act is really in line with his character, making him a martyr. + +Of course there are numerous misunderstandings, especially including George Westham. My favorite parts are when "Lizzy" and "Will" play in the water by the shore in Guatemala, when Will is taking care of "Elisabeth" when she is taken ill, and when they meet again in Chicago at the Coffee plant. The book is a page turner for sure and I had a hard time putting it down. I like Kara Louise's story telling skills, which is even more noticable in her book "Pemberley's Promise", which is my favorite Pride & Prejudice variation to date. +Well written. I hadn't read Faye Kellerman in a long time, so glad I read this. + +7970 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this book..The hero, Captain Sevan Vasil has been having very erotic dreams about the heroine, Lorelei Janelle for months, he knows she is his mate, but he has never met her. The dreams were so HOT!!! +6538 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Good mystery but to much personal involvement and detail. +9366 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I guessed part of the secret fairly early on, the other part I didn't. The suspense was cleverly done. The sexual tension between Trick and Grace was excellent, although at times it hurt that he seemed to want to hurt her, whereas she clearly cared for him. +2107 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoyed this book--though it was short the writer, Nikita Black, told a full story. She explores the relationship between the American Indians and the White people who were coming west. She exposes their differences and similarities in a way that is unoffensive and she threw in a special romance just to make it fun. And the sex was not a bad thing in this book!!. +43 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 One moment in a person's life can bring about a seemingly simple event which will inevitably change everything about that person's future. Maybe the changes will be welcomed and cherished. Maybe they will be full of regret and despair. Or maybe it will be a life filled with moments of both, making the memories bittersweet. +3041 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good book. +She is a white woman who has been warned against consorting with the enemy heathens. They are just supposed to trade for goods but what is she to do now? +Stay tuned for my update in less than 5 years! +I hope those that have enjoyed the series thus far will give this a try. And those that haven't but are reading this, you may enjoy it more than you think. Give it a try. +7905 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I never knew Harlequin had a teen series. Maybe it's new. In any case, I found this author's writing to be really good and wasn't disappointed that the book was so short, considering it's a prequel for her series. Plus, the book was free on my Kindle and I read it in one sitting. Even though it was meant for teens, I'll read the sequel myself and recommend it for my daughters. It had me hooked. Hey, a ton of people read Twilight, too! +As usual, the book is completely predictable, yet still enjoyable. There is one place that could be seen as a continuity error, as the person making the observation could not know of certain events described, but not many people are really going to pay attention to that sort of thing. + +"Our nationwide policy of obortion-on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy was neither voted for by our people nor enacted by our legislatures-not a single state had such unrestricted abortion before the Supreme Court decreed it to be national policy." +"Alas, All Thinking" moves closer to the Golden Age style of SF; it is a story of ideas, not action, and the idea was an unusually pessimistic one for 1930s SF: a time-traveller visits the future and discovers that humanity has not progressed, but rather degenerated into helpless, huge-brained beings who do nothing but meditate on ideas that prove to be useless. +Victoria Alexander has a way of making me laugh that no one else does! The antics of this husband and wife are truely hilarious. She really doesn't want a lover - just her husband's attention. He really doesn't want her to take a lover - but he offers to help. They both enlist the help of his twin brother and renowned rake in achieving their true goal. + +7850 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 PJVs QUICKIE POV: So, because of my new love affair with Kinsey W. Holley I had to check out another Sexy Shifterness and downloaded Serengeti Heat . Andrews, with Serengeti Heat reminded me that not just the Canidae family can be in possession of hot Alphas. +2.)In chapter 24, Evanlyn, one of the traveling group, does something so stupid...so incredibly dumb, putting herself unnecessarily in harms way, that I really wondered if author Flanagan could not have done something else to accomplish the same outcome. Really, the only 'questionable' area of the entire book. + +7157 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really liked the Halle Pumas series. I liked in this book how the herion seemed to redeem herself and prove herself to the others and she was finally accepted by her pride and his pack. +4794 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Always interesting data about ship sinkings-I love sea stories +~Lindy +Maggie Shayne did a wonderful job of keeping the stories interesting and the action was paced well. I enjoyed every moment of these stories and I will definately recommend this whole series. As a matter of fact, I already have. So, if you want a book ripe with action, vampires and steamy love scenes, then, the whole Wings In The Night Series are the ones for you. + +2095 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Fun book and full of information but given in an interesting way. My son can't get enough of these books and as soon as one's done, I have to rush to get the next in the series. Thank goodness the library has them all as ebooks so we don't have to wait. +4354 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have actually read this book TWICE since I received it and I know I will read it many more times. The author took "Darcy and Elizabeth" to a new place and the outcome, with many bumps in the road, to the same wonderful conclusion. I love the setting and could close my eyes and feel them on the ship. This book is one NOT TO MISS!!! +You could argue that this book is a romance of sorts. When Oscar falls in love, he falls hard, and he's willing to risk his life, more than once, for the woman he loves. I think we all have a little bit of Oscar within ourselves. Some of us are fat, others too skinny, others not good at sports. Even the seemingly gifted are self-conscious about something. Diaz also does strong women really well. Lola, Oscar's sister; his mother, Beli; La Inca, his mother's adopted mother, and even Ybon, the prostitute he falls in love with are all well-rounded, true-to life characters. +This book is definitely not for everyone. It's about a horrifying topic. But it's something that happens every single day. I think that is the message that Elizabeth Scott was trying to get across. This is happening right under our noses all the time. Do we look the other way? Do we not pay enough attention to the odd young girl and her "Dad" that live next door? That's really scary to think about. But that's what this book does. It makes you think. + + +4857 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Bleak House isn't anything like it's name implies. It's full of happy situations. There are downers, as usual, but they don't last long. There are only 4 orphans and 3 of them are very well treated. The main story is about a debilitated and corrupt court system. In this story it has to do with a large inheritance gone awry over a minor detail. It languishes in the courts for years frittering away the money in court costs and lawyer fees. There are other stories that weave in and out of the main story. This book is long and complex, so you need to pay attention. Despite that, it has very likeable characters and is an enjoyable read. Dickens' prose is amazing in this one. What a guy! I may re-visit this one again someday. I suggest taking notes on new characters as they arise. You may not see them again for a while in the story, though they have important roles. I got confused with who was who now and then. This is one of my favorite Dickens novels. +6587 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Reminiscent of "Tunnel in the Sky".by Robert Heinlein this tale also is a bit like Stephen King's the mist, although I think both Heinlein and King do a better job with their stories. This book is more a tale of a summer camp turned to a survivalist camp as the kids are on their own after the brown mists changes everything they know. I think this should be listed more adult than young adult, but still found the book an interesting read. +The mystery element was good and intriguing. It wasn't a hard storyline to follow and what made is so interesting was the dragon's input to the situation. There were moments were I was laughing out loud with the dialogue between the characters. +2589 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 More poems for children, a couple featuring Winnie the Pooh characters. +4607 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Second DNF of the year, unfortunately. I still gave this book a 2 star rating because it wasn't a bad book, it was written very well and had a lot of history in it, but it was not for me at all. +369 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The movie made during my childhood of the Man in the Iron Mask was a memorable one...that would have been , if I recall, during the 1940s..I enjoyed this book because of the detail.. an enjoyable reading experience.... +8624 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This novel is excellent, and all the saga, I recommend it +Well, this book is every parent's nightmare. This book is for sure not for the faint at heart. There were parts that made me literally sick to my stomach. As a whole, this story is horrifying. Sad part is, this is a reality for some innocent children. This book has left what feels like a hole in the pit of my stomach. Yet I couldn't put it down and read it in one day. One I won't easily forget. + +7898 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It is always good to read about successful men of color. I enjoyed the entire series (Faith, Fantasy & Fortune). Intimate and personal reading it was hard to stop at just one book. +4482 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 good series, liked it a lot, good read and its enjoyable and nice. highly would suggest that you read these books +A bit rushed but a good story never the less and erotic too. Ms. Black delivers again in her stories. Standing Bear is an Arapaho Indian who sees and eventually falls for Sally whom he calls Pale as Moonlight. + +1978 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 it is a good book for tween boys. i would recommend it to other parents to buy for their kids +5408 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 When I first started reading this romance, the guy in it seemed too superficial and uncaring to be interesting or likable. I guess that was part of his beast persona, because as I read further and learned more about him, he just seemed human and vulnerable. I thought the author did a pretty good job of writing a modern Beauty and the Beast story. It was nice too that the Beauty character in the story was a black woman with the beast being blonde, which makes a nice change from the cliche' ofblack men being with white blonde women. +kept reading this with expectation that like Canterbury Tales, it would draw one into the story + "The sun set beyond the colored window four more times, and inside our chamber the stories went on. Not all were joyful tales; we needed to acknowledge that love was not just kisses, smiles, and fulfillment, but also sacrifice, compromise, and hard work." + +6202 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Again, so much suspense. Through a series of cliff hangers, Malcolm and Jaime finally get their happily ever after. You have a conniving Catherine with her lust for power and Edward, the male version of Catherine, that try with their foiled plots to ruin Jaime and Malcolm, but goodness and love win out. Another great read in this series. Highly recommend. +So Mama Argeneau sets out to give Lissianna the perfect present - one sexy male tied up and waiting. Well, Lissianna wants Mr. Right, not just Mr. Available. She's tired of her vamp immortal life, and would like someone to share it with. Lissianna has other problems, such as her fainting at the sight of blood, an annoying trait for a vampire. For a Birthday gift, Mama has gone out and fetched Dr. Gregory Hewitt, used mind control to get him to tuck himself up in the trunk of her car, and now has him tied up nekkid on Lissianna's bed. Wouldst that all mums were so obliging on birthdays! +Ms. Bell does an excellent job of building sexual tension. I was enraptured by Gabe, who is clearly the dominate in his erotic dreams with Sarah. But Sarah manages to hold her own. Her submissiveness to him has its limits, even in his dreams, which surprises but doesn't disappoint him. He is disappointed, however, by her continued mistrust in him, though he is sensitive enough to recognize he is the one mostly at fault. +This story is semi-autobiographical that mirrors the author's own personal tragic loss of her young daughter to a rare form of strep, and while grieving she learned to knit. + + +After Will and Evanlyn are captured, Halt and Horace both set out to rescue them. They meet their fair share of trouble, including being captured by Deparnieux, an evil knight. They must hurry to find Will and Evanlyn, before it is too late. +Ransom Blake is young, handsome and wise beyond his years. He's a successful business owner of a construction company and a devoted father to his beloved daughter. He's content with his life but wishes for a special lady to share it with. When he bumps into an alluring and attractive stranger he wants nothing more than to make his wish a reality and give her a lesson she will not forget. +7412 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved Trouble Comes in Threes. I love Brodey! Loved him since Steam. Really got to know Cail and Ain in this book. All three are so unique. Elain is a lucky girl. I missed the dragons. Looking forward to the next in the series. +If you haven't read these books, DO SO NOW! +7559 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I was a little leery as the story opened. Why in the world would a family allow Bridgett to go off alone with an unknown man? That didn't ring true to me until I got further into the story as Bridgett's personality was revealed in more detail. It took a few chapters to really get into the story, but then it held me captive to the very end. The only real downside for me came in the final winding up scenes. Bridgett's and Ian's characters had been developed very well up to this point. Then came the dissapointing scenario. It was a stretch for me to buy Bridgett's quick acceptance of the idea that Ian did not love or want her in light of what had gone on before. This part of the story came across as a manufactured attempt to create a little tension and did not work well for me. All the same, this was a very good, well written story and deserves four stars in my opinion. +Also on that testimonials page is a link to a great, free, recent interview on how porphyria is not rare and is a cause of hypoglycemia. Youll love the interview, and the book. + +6985 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love Wyoming so the setting is great. There's a nice inclusion of Indian practices and beliefs. The characters are believable as is the plot and it's nicely paced. +Wolf Flight is an interesting second story in the Granite Lake Wolves series and while it is dynamically different than the first it is still a fun read. I have to say that I was not drawn in from the start as I was with the first in this series I still enjoyed it. I love that the two characters care for each other but are each afraid to go too far as they are both hiding their wolf selves. But, in the end sometimes you are meant to wait so that you will appreciate what you have. I had fun reading Wolf Flight and think others will also. +Highly recommended for English wonks and learners. +"Shroud" is more than eye candy. It is an insightful gaze into the deepest recesses of what it means to be human. I must say I had a sinking feeling as I closed the book after finishing the final page, a feeling that told me I missed many of Banville's intricately crafted subplots. This thought was quickly followed by another: it doesn't matter if I missed some points of the story. What I got out of it was enough to justify a thousand times over the choice I made to read this gorgeous work of art. + +3402 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A man named Hawke rambles into Salcedo looking for a drink, bath, and maybe a job playing the piano in the saloon. Before the civil war, Hawke was a pianist playing the piano around the world. Since the end of the war, he didn't stay anywhere long, but in Salcedo, he ran into an old acquantance. +2087 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I'll admit that whenever I see books that have won any kind of literary award, I always assume they're a good, and usually they are, but this one I just don't get. + --- Reviewed by Sarah A. Wood +But I digress. This novel is set in the summer of 1964, when Lily Melissa Owens, the fourteen-year-old, is a very effectively a white slave on her father's peach plantation. She has grown-up thinking she shot her mom (accidentally), and now all she has is a father, Terrance Ray Owens. For reason unexplained, she addresses him as T-Ray, and he punishes her by making her kneel on grits. The family has a house slave, Rosaleen, who is Lily's stand-in mom. + +PLOT: Again, this is a novella in a genre known for keeping things simple. Not a big plot line here- but for what it is, it's well done. It is definitely more creative than most I've read and opens up a world of possibilities for future books. All told, brilliant execution through simplicity. +Some elements didn't work so well. I found the depiction of Italians and Italian-Americans to be a bit over-the-top. (I almost expected Chico Marx and Mr. Bacciagalupe to appear.) It was far from offensive, however, because (a) some of the stereotypes are quite true (I can attest to this as an Italian-American), and (b) these characters are generally presented in a good-natured way. My last nitpick has to do with the ending of the legal component of the case which I will not give away here. + +Good science section so far. I miss the crossword. Even if the crossword wasn't interactive, I'd love to see it. I have some grid paper. +8828 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I don't exactly know why but male pregnancy seems to be the bane of Gay Romance. I have even found a place where an editor pleaded her authors to not send submission of stories with male pregnancy since she was really tired of them... and I thought, how strange, in my experience I have not found so much of them. Well, this is probably due to the fact that I'm not a big fan of fantasy or sci-fiction, and so, obviously, I skim from the beginning the possibility to find them. But when it happened, actually they didn't bothered me, on the contrary, there are some series (like Space Opera by Stephanie Burke, when will she write the third book?) that I really like a lot. True, it's not easy to write them without falling in the mistake of having one of the male involved being merely a girl with male attributes, but well, that is the only way for a man to get pregnant! +Christina follows her instincts and allows herself to be seduced into Jon and JT's bed for a sexual encounter she'll never forget. Hours later she's awaken by the ringing of her cell phone only to receive the devastating news that her mother has died. Christina's positive her father's abuse is what killed her mother. Neither man will allow her to contend with her family alone. Christina is going to have to come to grips with her feelings for them and learn to trust them - with her heart and her well-being. She just may learn that there are some men who are not a complete waste of skin! +7915 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Awesome + +The two books I have read in this series remind me strongly of the Deathwish movies with Charles Bronson. Brett Macklin is the Charles Bronson-like vigilante who seems to survive even the most punishing scenes. +7858 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 After several hits and misses in my paranormal romance reading lately, I'm happy to report that Kinsey Holley's novella, Kiss and Kin, was a definite home-run experience for me. The story is a wonderful balance between an intriguing plot and the hotter-than- a-Texas-summer sexual exploits of the hero and heroine. Both Taran and Lark have that quality that makes readers care about them as individuals and as a couple. The author takes the standard werewolf scenario and shows readers a different view of pack dynamics as well as several variations on the "mating" experience. She addresses many questions I've always had about the mating phenomena, and hopefully, she'll address them further in the book she is currently planning about Nick and TJ. After being inundated with vampire tales, I'm looking forward to future sexy shifter stories about werewolves in love. +2408 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Round it a helpful review of things learned so long ago. + +My BIGEST GRIPE, however, is that the table of contents at the front of the book is linked only to the first page of each chapter; each chapter has a "cutesy" name that doesn't convey its contents. And the book index, at the back of the book, contains NO LINKS whatsoever. So even when you locate a recipe in the index, there is no way to jump to it. +311 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent read. Takes a bit to get through but really provides good insight. + +1248 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Didn't care for this book, and only read a few chapters. +However I have serious issues with describing this as an "illustrated" edition. I consider an illustration to be a picture of something, and NOT a block of text describing what the illustration would be. There were several photographs in the e-book but they appeared to be pictures of random masses of clay with no relationship whatsoever to the actual text. + +4890 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Liked the preview enough that I bought the book. I will let you know what I thought when I finish. Just finished the book and can say I definitely enjoyed it. Keep them coming. + + +5779 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Ok, SO... some of the characters vocabulary was very old fashioned. I used my dictionary quite often. The story was sweet though. There was a lot of mistakes. But I will probably read more from this author. +9449 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Karen Anderson's note really should say it all. While Amazon apparently doesn't want the details of the copyright dispute to be included in reviews, they can be discovered easily through Google-- query Poul Anderson, copyright dispute, and Project Gutenberg. +CAT OF A DIFFERENT COLOR +Disclaimer: +1-THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES +7140 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this series as well as all the books by Trollope, for I read all of them. How much did I like them? +2312 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Author Steve Peek has created a world that embraces many legends, werewolves, vampires, the like, as beings of an alternate dimension. Gates allow them passage to out world. Ancient humans had learned ways to shut those doors down, building such as Stonehenge, the Indian mounds of the Americas, and other such structures around the world. But as humans spread and built, those impediments were destroyed, weakening those lines connected worldwide. +King James Bible (KJV) (best navigation with Direct Verse Jump; paragraphed) +5873 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Being able to carry around in your handbag with ease the complete collection of Jane Austen is...perfect and priceless. +Wolf Fang is owned by Slagor, a Skandian Skirl -- ship captain -- who had decided to sail south during a lull in the storms. He had hoped to take the best prizes while the other wolfships were awaiting the end of the season, but this was obviously an unwise decision. Slagor is not a very good captain, for he is foolish and a coward. His crew are petty criminals, who have joined him only for the wages and loot. + +3851 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Erotic story!!!!! +When she finally gets to travel to live with her mate, Rick, she finds that there is another power hungry woman (Gina) who wants not only her man but her position in the pack. Will she be able to finish the mating with Rick in time to have others let her heal? Or is Gina beyond reason? If Gina is beyond reason what will the outcome be to both Rick and Belle? + +3320 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I throughly enjoyed this book. +Nor was Chandler above putting a little social commentary in Marlowe's mouth. Reflections on such topics as that very real change after World War II in the kind of swarms that were heading west to populate the American Western shore night. The rise of the corner boys hanging, just hanging, around blasted storefronts, a few breaking off into the cranked up hot rod hell's highway night. The restless mobsters for broken back east looking to bake out in the southern California sun while taking over the vast crime markets. The wannabe starlets ready to settle for less than stardom for the right price. The old California money (the gold rush, gold coast, golden era money) befuddled by the all new waves coming in. And above all a strong sense of the rootlessness, the living in the moment, the grabbing while the grabbing was good mentality that offended old Marlowe's honor code. +1054 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have subscribed to the "The New York Times - Latest News" blog since shortly after I purchased the Kindle version 1. Other blogs have come and gone on my Kindle, but the NYT-LN has been a constant. +I don't think that the word "wonderous" in the title or the childlike red silouhette (albeit blood splattered) on the cover accurately convey the reality inside the cover. +7485 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Adrian is such a damn goofball, "but my mate is inside." He ran his hand over her bottom. "Hmm, a thong? I love thongs." He sighed happily." Like Max and Simon he's a possessive one when it comes to his woman, "mine," he growled, spilling inside her, his teeth clamping down on his mark once more." Although I liked this book I have to say I liked Max and Simon's more. +Jacobsen writes strongly, sharing his conviction and personal experience of God's unfailing love. Revisiting familiar parables and scenes from throughout the New Testament as well as the Old Testament, Jacobsen builds a case for God's ongoing desire to enter into relationships with each and every one of us. +1936 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It's another great book. Each book just brings me deeper and deeper into this world, and I love every minute of it. +6621 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Very good book,not your usual end of world book. Enjoyed it very much ! The idea of children trying to survive,is very interesting idea. + +Emerson Hough may not be well-remembered today, but this was a really good book. You cant beat the price - you can download the book for free on Project Gutenberg - and the product doesnt have the spelling problems and other errata that you may find in electronic books in the public domain. +4062 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Author Steve Peek has created a world that embraces many legends, werewolves, vampires, the like, as beings of an alternate dimension. Gates allow them passage to out world. Ancient humans had learned ways to shut those doors down, building such as Stonehenge, the Indian mounds of the Americas, and other such structures around the world. But as humans spread and built, those impediments were destroyed, weakening those lines connected worldwide. +6006 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I felt compelled to put up a 5-star review of this novella to counter the 1-star reviews that are strictly because of the price of the hardback. That hardback was a special print run with illustrations, etc. It's from a small-press and it's meant for collectors. It's pretty rude to penalize the author with a low review when you didn't understand the point of the print run. If you want this story in a regular print book, you should buy the anthology that it was originally issued in, called On The Prowl, currently selling for $7.99. + +5816 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a series of stories that should be read in order. Piper creates a universe in which each of these stories form a portion of the common history. This is classic sci-fi so you'll find the technology dated. I found it amusing. It doesn't affect the story though. + +6264 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I don't know if it's because it was 3 books together into 1 but it felt like it was soooo long. There was a lot of detail that while boring to read of first I was thankful for in the end because everything fell into place nicely. + +Up Pops The Devil is an innovative novel by Angela Benson. Benson brings us a classic tale of a ex-con that is trying to turn over a new leaf. You will root for Preacher as he tries to grow in his walk with Christ. This story shows that sometimes when a person is making a change in their life there will be people that will try to pull you in a different direction. Benson showed great creativity with how she showed how the devil is always busy in trying to get and destroy souls. Up Pops The Devil is thought-provoking and insightful. Angela Benson has brought us an excellent novel that deals with faith, temptation, and redemption. +It's your call - but the other Kindle edition with an active table of contents is preferable as far as I'm concerned... but note that the contents WILL be the same, and Triplanetary is STILL missing the first two sections. + +Green Rider is a nice choice if you're in the mood for a traditional fantasy epic with some familiar elements used in a refreshing, but not revolutionary, way. Those who like Mercedes Lackey's VALDEMAR series will be especially pleased. +Three different story-lines are intricately woven into a compelling story: a clan of vampire-like beings called longclaws living in a parallel, prehistoric-like world, hunting for fresh blood and hiding from other, even more menacing creatures. An ancient Indian tribe knowing about the dangerous otherworldly beasts and closing the energy lines leading to their world. A teenage runaway boy ending up with his old great-uncle who lives to protect humanity by guarding the portal. +2717 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 What a craptastic ending! So, this entire story is filled with details about an inappropriate relationship between a kidnapper and his victim. She agrees to go along with his plan to help him take her replacement, as she is getting too old. Then, it ends in one of the worst possible ways. The "filler story" in between, started okay, but then I realized I could have just watched random episodes of PLL, and had more answers. Total disappointment. +An encounter with a vampire from her past, Leo, has Brett seeing (and smelling to the vamps) a bit green. From there this little short takes off! Leo and Lisa share a sire, and are only days apart in age. Since they turned, they were two sides of the same coin, together and inseparable until some unknown argument sent them in different directions. When they reunite - the sparks flare into a three-way encounter that is steam personified... and is the beginning of an interesting relationship + +1262 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Wonderful story of three generations of a family with roots in the Dominican Republic, New York, and now New Jersey. Excellent balance between comedy and tragedy, which is really hard for a writer to achieve. Interesting use of multiple perspectives, and shifting time frames--mostly (but not entirely) signaled by chapter headings. +Nikki is suffering from guilt, even though she brought the members of the Sisterhood to her adoptive mother's attention; she feels the strain of an outsider. Now, her name has been chosen for the next revenge. Nikki believes her membership in the close knit group is under false pretenses as she has reunited with her life's partner without telling her friends. Taking a vacation, Nikki leaves her law firm in the hands of Allison Bank, a replacement for her beloved childhood companion. +1209 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It's a good thing Ms. Crusie has written so prolifically, since this bundle has made me an instant addict. I can't remember ever chuckling aloud so much while reading anything. Loved the characters, including secondary ones, and zipped through the plots, often asking myself, "How's she going to write her way out of this?" She did, of course, write her way out every time with wit and often tongue in cheek. My kind of escapist-lit candy. Yum! +3. Nice tips and useful information for your Kindles. +7066 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was just getting totally into the story and BOOM it's over. Okay I get it is just a short story but it really deserves more time. This is the first book for the "Leopard" series and I did enjoy it so I will read the rest of the series. I love the "Game" series the most.....I recommend both!!! + +While fighting alongside the Vong, Boba Fett manages to sneak information to the New Republic about the Vong, their plans, their technology and their biology. Eventually the New Republic wises up and realizes that the Mandos are double agents and they send a Jedi Master to parley with Boba Fett. He tells the Jedi to keep this under wraps and to keep fighting against the Mandalorians as if they are the true enemy in order to keep up the ruse so they can continue to slip the New Republic information about the invaders. The Jedi Master asks what Fett wants in return. He only asks for one thing, that the Republic knows that a Mandalorian warrior died to save a Jedi Master. +5769 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I know I'm going to be odd man out because I'm giving this story a 5 star rating but let me tell you why. First off I found the character of Carrie Richardson refreshing and the storyline as many have said is a bit Cinderella-ish, but only in the way that Alexeis is mega wealthy and to all at first glance Carrie appears to be poor as a church mouse with the brains to match, but I like the fact that the author allowed us to believe that and fed us bits and pieces into Carrie's true character as the story progressed. I know there are enough reviewers who will say that Carrie was a bimbo or she was portrayed as such by the author, but what those who read it missed was that Carrie herself never believed herself to be stupid or inferior to Alexeis she was just not use to his lifestyle and she never spoke on topics that he and his friends were fluent in i.e. art, theater the whose who in their mega rich world and their goings on, because Carrie could honestly say she knew nothing about those things because her own world before meeting Alexeis revolved around science and research and her parents where both scholarly people whose lives were immersed in their lives as said scholars. I think its rather unfair to class her as a "bimbo" because she happen to meet someone who was willing to spoil her, although to be fair he was misguided in thinking she was two bricks short of a load in the intellect department, but the author did a good job of putting human error, flaw and prejudice on display. This book really gives meaning to the saying "Still waters run deep". It's a book that I personally enjoyed and lets be honest ladies we don't purchases these books for their "realism" its fantasy and a chance to escape a bit, so for those who keep harping that its "unrealistic" or "stupid" do yourselves a favor and stop spending your money on them or take them out from your local library or pick a different genre to read about. Happy Reading +There's an unedited quality at times in the book that captures what will remind you of the sorts of soliloquies that we've all conducted in our minds. That exposition method is very effective for making Veronica's feelings come across more strongly. + + + +551 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Allison Brennan is a terrific writer. She never fails to deliver in her romance/ mysteries. She is very proflic, but leaves you wanting more at the end of each book. Her books are not blood and guts gory, but give you enough detail to make sense of the story line. + + +DATA: +To Do List was a new and fully anticipated experience for me. Lauren Dane is one of my favorite authors and I think this was the first totally contemporary romance that I have read written by her. To Do List made me giggle simply because I COULD HAVE BEEN Belle. Famous in my family for my lists, I so empathized with her need to be organized and loved how her quirkiness endeared her to Rafe. I simply loved Rafe because he loved Belle. His patience with her, even when he was dying for her to come to grips with their relationship, was appealing to me and I just simply desired him for my very own. +The dialogue is superb and carries us into the story straight away, without any long stretches of narrative to be negotiated. As a result the pace is fast, but not so fast that we don't have time to look around us and find out about Izzy's life and how she sees her new home. +The book's title is a version of the well-known "network effect," familiar to the increasing numbers of us who are actively aware of the networked world in which we live and work. The principle is simple: the bigger the network, the more interconnections among its nodes (in this case, members), and thus the more powerful it becomes. As Facebook may already be the largest human network on Earth, we can only begin to speculate what it might become if and when it grows to the one or two billion members Zuckerberg envisions. +I've found Charles extremely interesting since we first learned of him in Moon Called, and I can't wait to see what's in store for him and the Omega from here. +It is, of course, centered mostly on Long Island and New York area news. New York sports fans will find it fun. +7606 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a pretty interesting Star Wars short story that took a little bit of time to get into it. When I did finally get into it, it was just about over with. Then when I go to the other short stories that are suppose to be in chronological order, while they are about the same subject with the same people, they do not follow the same story. Each one started a completely new story, I wish it would go along with the story instead of jumping years at a time. Also half of the book that you download is trying to get you to read an excerpt for a completely different star wars short story or novel. This can really get quite annoying. This is interesting to read and entertaining at some level, but try not to get attached to the story too much.... +While some reviewers have felt that the work is derivative and therefore not original, I would disagree. It is true that, as a genre piece, the story does follow a certain ... guideline, I guess is the best term ... to steer its plot. However, I believe that Ms. Britain has admirably created a unique setting for her world and set into motion events that will spill over into the remaining books in the trilogy, providing a satisfactory reading experience for anyone who not only likes the specific genre, but anyone who enjoys a good book. Keep an eye on my reviews in upcoming weeks to see my reviews of the remaining books in the trilogy! +3618 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Why are women still underpaid? Does self-esteem and earning six-figures go hand-in-hand? Do women place financial limits on themselves? With insight and practical real-world guidance Barbara Stanny helps us discover our inner six-figure woman. Are you ready to find the answers? + + + +As for the "hot sex" scenes that another reviewer mentioned - maybe explicit but that did not make them "hot". To me, the scenes were more of a "throw in" because that's what is expected in a book that is supposed to be an erotic romance and I had long stop caring whether there was any romance between the characters. + +that I'm still thinking about, long after I finished the last page. +Part retelling of the story of the Twelve Dancing Princesses; part reinterpretation of classic vampire lore, Wildwood Dancing is an eerie, atmospheric story of forbidden love, precious gifts, and otherworldly creatures. +8501 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The most amazing book with the best paranormal stories I have ever read. The author impressed me with his creative thinking. I love the idea of this book that how Sebastian came back from the dead as a ghost and how he leads Karl to several warriors and helped him in his quest to prevent the resurrection of the greatest, powerful vampires known to mankind. This book amazes me and during the time when I was reading this book I found myself totally indulged in it. I found it to be highly entertaining because it is a strange horror comedy in the tradition of Ghostbusters and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Kevin gave me very imaginative and great comedic horror novel that keeps me smiling on the edge of my seat at the same time and entertains me with his horror comedy stories. I am impressed a lot that the book Last Rites is very well written and really easy to understand. +419 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 WHat a wonderful story, filled with so much information. Wonderful information that you can hardly believe is true but can hardly wait to put it into action. I will be rereading this more and more until I know what I am supposed to do. Great read +2098 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is so hot that you do not want it to end. What a great and unbelievable story. Yes, unbelievable because who does not want to read books that transport you to another time and place and hot wonderful love. This book is for dreamers, but it is an original. It deserves five stars and I would not ever think of giving it less than that. I LOVED IT. + +This book is a well-written romantic suspense novel. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. The romance between Steven and Jenna will tug at your heard and you will find yourself racing along with them to find a future together. +9076 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Sommer pissed me off to no end. But a lot of women are like this especially black Womens and this a prime example of how good men are pushed away. I took a lot of things for this story which is a good think. Its a must read. +800 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I hate e-books. Loathe them, in fact. But at the time, that's all that was available. So I read it. Good story. +8308 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 The story starts strong with a classic Noir set-up (woman walks into dive bar looking for her lost sister and gets a big dose of trouble), but doesn't proceed strongly from there. The relationships between the characters are unclear. Every character seems to be a stereotype of some sort. The realism factor is missing. The ending is unclear. With a stronger editorial hand, the author could have had something here. But it takes more than visits to dive bars, missing women in peril, and characters who live on the wrong side of the law to make a good Noir story. +9582 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved the Human Legacy Project! +Laura is a very stubborn and private woman. She has dark secrets that she keeps locked deep inside because she feels she must. There were times where I, along with Shane, was very frustrated with this heroine because she cannot give him her trust and refuses to confide in him. However, as the story progresses to its riveting conclusion, I came to understand and respect why she felt she had to keep her secrets so close, literally bricking up a thick wall around herself. +Perhaps I withheld five stars because, even after the crisis I think I would like a bit more story on Ky and Toby Vatta and SDF +The writing and descriptions were well-done and there was plenty of conflict. Though some of the characters expressed insights that helped to give them depth, I didn't feel a real connection with them. This may have been because there were so many characters involved. Still, I would like to have had a better feel for the main characters, particularly Gordon. +1471 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I'm usually a bit lowbrow for literary fiction, but Sue Monk Kidd grabbed me with Lily, a little girl with a big heart. Her story as well as her personality are riveting. I cared what happened to Lily as though she were a close relative. Also, kudos to Kidd who kept me tied up in a story that contained nary an ounce of romance. +4774 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 A cutesy love story, and somewhat predictable. The bedroom scenes were pretty bland. All in all, a little vanilla for my taste... +I love ebooks because they give everyone a chance to have their stories heard and I appreciate the effort, but this just did not work for me. + + +279 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 There's an enigma of fascists going around and downvoting anything that is remotely anti fascist. This book is an amazing read. I really recommend it. Even if you disagree you have to realize that it was a different time when the working class was stomped on by the elites. More so than today. + +It was the frog who hooked me, although each sister is fun (Think the Bennet five) and the cousin becomes more and more despicable as the story progresses. + +4286 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This collection is even better than its description. I can't believe that the price was so reasonable. All illustrations are in vibrant colors, within/without the box and each book cover-to-cover. The chapters come from the three books Winnie the Pooh and House at Pooh corner (both by A.A. Milne, illustrated by E.H. Shepard) and also the Return to the Hundred Acre Wood (by David Benedictus, illustrated by Mark Burgess). Each chapter book comes in its own dust jacket and the box that contains them all is so very sturdy. I am so pleased with this purchase, Egmont really outdid itself. Most importantly to my pre-preschooler, there are illustrations on every spread, sometimes on each page. + + +7272 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Anyone familiar with the Perils of Pauline era romance, this might appeal to you. Story pacing is a bit jerky, and it starts slow, but as the story progresses it gets more laughable. The hero and heroine are meant to be likeable, and they are, for paper doll figures. The lesser characters are more developed, but none of them are very believable. If you're paying money, don't waste any on 'Romancing Adrienne.' +I am seriously going to have to quit reading certain categories of novel - novels which have titles like The Mermaid Chair and The invention of Wings. Anything which won a 'medal' is out. Medals are for heroes. I see nothing heroic and everything formulaic about the bulk of such pretentious novels. What else can we ditch? Well, anything which includes a female name in the title (with few exceptions), such as An Abundance of Katherines, and especially if the name does double duty, such as Looking for Alaska. Anything which includes 'dreams' or 'stars' in the title, such as The Fault in Our Stars. Anything which uses a bad or sad and weak metaphor, such as Paper Towns. +2578 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 AAMilne is one of my all time favorite authors. His Pooh series is so sweet: filled with humor, friendship, hopes, and good will. +1923 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good action good book + + + + +Still, I would pay full price for a FULL-LENGTH Markhat book if it were available for the Kindle. +I enjoyed this book very much and intend to find more Georgette Heyer books. +Tad doesn't realize he is an Omega, just recently found out he is a wolf, and is conflicted about being "triggered" so that he can take his wolf form. His reasons are complicated, and somewhat justified, even when he is reunited with his high school love....Missy, whom he has been secretly yearning for. I wanted Tad to claim Missy as a true Alpha would...no matter the consequences, and even though he yearns to do exactly that...he won't let himself, it goes against everything that he is as a character. I wanted Tad to take what he wanted, because it's what Missy wants too. For me he was too conflicted, not assertive enough...and basically just not an Alpha. And that is where I think the problem lies for me. It's not that his character was not written well, because it was. The author stayed true to what being an Omega male should be...unfortunately I've come to realize that I prefer Alpha's...and even Beta's, but not so much an Omega for a hero. +2795 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A young adult fantasy, Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier is quite simply, delicious. It is part historical fiction, part romance, part mystery, part fantasy and completely magical. The prose is beautiful, the plot is captivating and the characters are drawn so precisely that your imagination is like a camera capturing the essence of the author's ideas. +To give Mr. Moats the benefit of the doubt I did read the excerpt from the next book in the series, "Vegas Show Girl Murders," and while it might appear at first blush to be an improvement on 'Classmate', my sense is that the character hurdles enumerated at the beginning of this review are going to be difficult to bury. Still and all - as long as I can get "Vegas" for free - I will probably give it a try and hope for better things. For everybody. +Recommended. prisrob 08-27-13 +Joe Nesb in the introduction points out the "fascinating unpredictability" and "feeling of haphazardness" in the narration. Somehow this creates a realer-than-real experience. +6781 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 good paper + +9188 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I gave this one 4 stars because there were several plot lineages open. Hoping they will be cleared up in the other books. loved Silas and Martha. +8929 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I heard wonderful things about Georgette Heyer and decided to give one of her novels a whirl. I heard Heyer wrote mostly Regency romances, so I was surprised to see that this one is actually a Georgian romance. I am not a big fan of the Georgian period because I don't like the elaborate clothing and I have a difficult time picturing men wearing powdered wigs, tights and corsets, but The Convenient Marriage is one of the most endearing and most hilarious period pieces I have ever read! Heyer had me in stitches during some scenes. The Earl of Rule feels it is time to get married and asks for society darling Lizzie Winwood's hand in marriage. Lizzie isn't interested in Lord Rule. She does want to marry a wealthy man, but she also wants to be in love with whoever she decides to marry. So her sister Horatia (Horry) takes her place. Horry isn't your typical heroine. She has a very bad stutter, is plain in appearance and has a rather particular sense of humor. Will those qualities endear her to Lord Rule or will he run a mile? There are many hilarious twists throughout the novel. +As it turns out, the formatting of this book in the Kindle format leaves much to be desired, and makes it quite unusable either as a reference in the store or a cookbook in the kitchen. +Meet Kaylee Cavanaugh. She just wanted a day out at the mall, but when she starts screaming and can't stop she ends up in a psychiatric ward. The thing is, she sees shadows. When she sees those shadows, she has the overwhelming urge to scream. Kaylee is afraid that she's losing her mind. But, is she really losing her mind or is it something she will have to learn to live with? This is just the beginning of uncovering a deep family secret. +- Even though Remi is depicted in Without Reservations as a total jerk, this book not only explains his bad attitude enough to make him sympathetic but also develops him (with the help of the right partner and a loving relationship, of course) into a character I genuinely admired by about a quarter of the way through the story. +Ms. Scottoline does a magnificent juggling act here. Unlike most mysteries or courtroom dramas which focus on a handful of developed characters and bring in dozens of marginally described minor characters, this book is crowded with believable, three dimensional people. Besides the three women in Rosato's firm, there are the defendant and her fellow inmates; there's Rosato's boyfriend, Grady; there's a cabal of individually motivated crooked cops; there's the judge; the D.A.; a hotheaded prizefighter... the list goes on. +I owned a restaurant for 15 years, and Cooks is the one source of consistent inspiration that I have found. +The main character, Izzy. is a victem of abuse by a terrifying boyfriend. She makes good her escape to the town of Chedam. But there are many secrets in this homey little village, some scarey, and some deadly. +30 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 ALL HE EVER WANTED by Anita Shreve +I read these as a fantasy and it's not my fantasy to even share a man period! but especially with another man...but what pisses me off the most if that man on man action isn't spelled out in the desc...you have to either scan reviews or waste 3/4 dollars on the book to find out.. +* Layne and Dev, the leading pair, are well matched and balanced. I don't usually like when one half of the couple seems to be contributing to the relationship more than the other half but, although Laine looks like the typical damsel in distress, he's also loving and caring and he tries somewhat to get himself out of the trouble he's in. +2179 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Short and to the point. This book is very repetitive but drives home the point about correct thinking that produces results. I think it should be read before Think and Grow Rich. It would help you understand that book better. This is the foundation of the philosophy of that book. +7926 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is the prequel novel to the `Soul Screamers' series. + + +If one is looking to fault Marx's economics based on the works of Capital, one will come up empty not only because Marx's logic is flawless, but as economist and former Marxist Thomas Sowell says, " ...Marx considered the idea of proving a concept to be ridiculous. Moreover, Engels had asserted...that one only proves one's ignorance of dialectics by thinking of it as a means by which things can be proved."(2) +6119 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I bought this book because I liked "Don't Tell" so much. Ms. Rose uses the same sense of immediacy in this book as in the other. The story was very well plotted and I had no idea who the killer was until the end...Well I thought I knew. But she totally had me fooled. If you enjoy a good suspenseful mystery with a great love story, like I do, You will not be able to put it down. Better than a movie at half the price. + +6608 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed terrible entire story. I can only hope that I would act as intelligent and resourceful as these young people, if I were ever placed in the same circumstances +I highly recommend this book to those readers who have enjoyed Anita Shreve in the past and for those who may want to read her for the first time. The author has a wonderful ability to put her readers right between the pages of the book. In addition the narrative evokes the language and society of the 1900's. Shreve has done an excellent job of describing these events from the point of view of a man deeply in love and this book makes for a very worthwhile read. I enjoyed it so much that I rated it among my ten top favorite reads for 2003. + +7193 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 loved it. + + +8259 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the sequel to Caught In the Mix. Devin and Clark were college sweethearts, who had an intense love connection that got torn apart by life. Ten years later their paths cross again, and their feelings for each other are still combustible. Now they are both married and the stakes are extremely high, but is the connection worth the risk. +One of his more recent postings offered the following: "There are approximately 500 new free non-public domain books in the Amazon Kindle store this morning for a total of 4,122 as I type this post." There was a discussion about this, and he went on to say, "As usual, I do not know how long these will be offered for free so if you are interested in any or all of them, please grab them now!" Very sage advice, indeed. +3373 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed this book very much. +9549 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really don't understand all the complaints. I've used this blog for over a year now and have none. I also have a back log of over 750 books I've downloaded, for free, just waiting for me to read. I could have downloaded many, many more. Not one of them is a romance novel or ancient Swedish poetry. Good job to Chris-keep up the good work. Thanks so much. +After reading this book i am a bit disappointed. I expected more... it's just so slow. The plot and female lead was annoying. It's so bad i may not purchase book 4. + + +9300 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Easy version to use on Reader, easy to find book, chapter and verses. Use this all the time with ease. +A cold distance overlays the minor characters in this, befitting the winter setting, but not making for an enjoyable read, at least not for me. Daniel's parents are unable to love him as he is, or even at all, Daniel's brother is estranged, and Daniel's present partner can't reach his cold and ungenerous boyfriend. Mitchell chucks Ginny into the mix - a lesbian schoolfriend who supposedly taps into Daniel's sensitive side and gives him a righteous kick in the arse - but because of Daniel's lack of warmth and depth, and because he doesn't care enough about Ginny to actually keep in contact with her, the relationship feels false to me, claiming too great an intimacy on too little knowledge. +2242 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have read all these books, and can say that they are well worth reading. They are classics among Law of Attraction literature, and have inspired some of the more popular spiritual writers of this century. Wallace Wattles philosophy boils down to the idea that thoughts are creative, and that we can create the lives of our dreams by properly using the laws of mind and thought. I have all his books as part of my permanent collection of favorites. Review submitted by Eddie Coronado, author of the Amazon.com book titled "Manifest Your Millions: A Lottery Winner Shares his Law of Attraction Secrets" +But Britain writes an interesting fantasy that is not completely clichd, in spite of the elves, the spider, and the Strider character. The plot gallops right along, except for a few uphill stretches where the point-of-view switches from Karigan to the bad guys, or to her father. + +8253 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 For two years Nathan `Nate' Summers has managed to elude his captor known only as the Teacher. Nate has a special gift, a psychic talent the Teacher uses for monetary and personal gain. He knows that he must keep moving to avoid being captured and controlled once more. + +Although there is a serious side to his story, Belle and Rick's romance is the center of the plot and I loved it! The female shifters have got it all and they don't give up an ounce of the authority or power. You have to love them! The guys are all hot and the ladies are all that! +Thankfully my quest to finish Amazon's 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime encouraged me to pick up this book, the second in the Winnie-the-Pooh series. There were benefits to starting with the second book. Most of the stories were new to me. I did not have preconceived pictures from seeing them on film - well as many at least. I will never be able to view Pooh, or Eeyore, or Piglet as anything other than their movie versions. +3436 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Ever wondered what happened to the pantheon of Gods from Greek mythology? Well, wonder no longer because they've gone fully digital in the twenty-first century. And it puts a totally new spin on words like 'spell-checker' when magic gets mixed with computer code and hacker merges with sorcerer. + +9421 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I like the premise of this book, and I read the free preview. I was a little worried, having read the 2 star review, but I figured the several five star reviews outweighed it. +9754 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A year ago, Sara's life changed forever when her twin brother and his wife were found murdered by a vampire. Now she's made it her mission to kill these creatures. Just as she is about to zero in on one, a man from her past appears and stops her. Little does she know he and the creatures she's hunting have something in common. They're vampires. +3338 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a lovely story about a lord and lady. I love all Julie Garwood books especially the ones about the highland lairds. Another great read by this author. +8982 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 "The Death Trip" is a book that manages to approach a controversial topic yet not force an opinion on the reader. It was interesting to look at both sides of the topic, and the great writing style of the author made it enjoyable as well. +5029 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Classic - always has been, always will be. +9990 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was a wonderful book but I like the mystery along with the romance. This was good reading and can't wait to read more of your books +8720 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a thrilling opening to a story about a woman on the run with her child. I'm guessing that she has hopped out of the frying pan into the fire, and anticipate a lot more thrilling happenings before she (hopefully) manages to escape and find happiness with her son. + +7716 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed reading this book. It was a fast read and I'm looking forward to reading the next Jim Richards Murder Novel! +4311 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A wonderful follow on to the original Winnie-the-Pooh book. An equally wonderful ending for old poops like me. + + +I loved this book for how fearless A Hint of Wicked is in delving deep into the difficult decisions people have to make. Then, on top of that, it's wonderfully plotted, fits in perfectly with its time period and creates such a sensual and intimate mood that I had to give a deep sigh when it was all over. + +5458 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I've read the entire series now--which is why this book has a 4 Star. I reserve 5 stars for the "best books I've ever read". While it is a 4 star review, it by no means should give the reader the idea that it wasn't a really entertaining read. + +And despite the fact that Abagnale is a shameless womanizer (a fact he makes clear throughout the book) and scammed hundreds of businesses in dozens of countires out of millions of dollars, you can't but help like him. He seemed to have had a code (he only ever bilked businesses, not individuals ... save for one greedy prostitute), and didn't ever USE anyone per se ... just deceived them. In fact, even during his years long crime spree, he tried several times to find love, repaid several debts with cash (not fake checks), and regretted some of his actions. +However, in the end, a lot of family members and close friends get killed in this book like Tabithas sister Tia and Nicks mother. + +None of the works is really a classic mystery in the sense the reader could intuit the outcome. Instead, the stories focus on the dark, tough-guy sphere of the Los Angeles underworld. Virtually everyone over the age of 18 smokes, drinks, and carries a gun, and there's nobody under 18. Eventually a reader gets the view poking a loaded gun into someone's chest was the canonical salutatory gesture of the early 1930's, only later replaced by the handshake. And it's slightly disturbing how the racism of the time is embedded into virtually all of the stories here. +Typically people criticize Dave's advice on two points. First, he gets flak because he claims you can get a 12% return on your retirement investments in mutual funds. I think people who complain about the number 12 aren't looking long-term enough. But, even if the 12 is overly optimistic, Dave's point, which is unquestionable, is that you'd be a fool to put your retirement moneys anywhere else. Second, He gets complaints because he mocks the FICO score. People point out that with no FICO score you may end up paying more for certain insurances or for home mortgages. This criticism is only partly true. Not all companies rely on the FICO, and you don't have to do business with those that do. You can get affordable car insurance from a number of national, reputable companies that don't even check your FICO score. As for the home mortgage, if you have a 20% down payment (which is the minimum Dave recommends), you will find a good interest rate from a bank. Just shop around. Local banks tend to rely on scores less because they can see you face to face. +If you're looking for a mad race to the finish, with red herrings, carefully placed clues, and subplots galore, you'll probably want to skip over this read. But if you're looking for a mystery that ages like a fine wine, and only gets better as you move at a slow, steady pace toward the end, with characters so real that you can feel their breath whispering against your ear, you'll want to race to the bookstore and grab this mystery, if you haven't already done so. +Cal Riker was horrified when he saw Norton pull the beautiful woman from the train. He may be running with the gang of outlaws but he isn't truly one of them. Rather than let them take turns raping her, Cal offers his share of the profits in exchange for her. If there's any hope of his saving her from their lecherous intents then he'll have to make them believe he wants her all to himself. +Some reviews here complain about the lingo but I did not find the medical bits distracting at all. The professional lives of these characters define them and give the story a strong sense of place. This book was a freebie but I definitely would have paid for it. +Here, like in the other books of J.L. Langley, the humor is a main aspect of the novel. She has a way to make you happy and to leave you with a smile in your face and also eager to read more. I can't wait to read the next enstallment in this wonderful series. + +At one point the narrator says that all big families are the same. Enright has made the Hegartys (she has a dozen ways to desribe the blue of their eyes) symbolic of every large family: those the parents favored, those they didn't, the messers (Liam), the drunks, the most successful, the religious one, the mysterious one, the brightest. This family calls to mind another large family in Thomas Wolfe's 1939 novel LOOK HOMEWARD ANGEL. The narrative, as the Queen would say in Alan Bennett's recent novel THE UNCOMMON READER, does not progress as the crow flies but rather meanders in and out among three generations of this crazed and in some ways doomed family. +Un-put-down-ability: 1/1 +Disclosure: I picked up a copy of this book for 99 on Amazon; although I am under no particular obligation, I am happy to provide an honest review. + +6480 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I ordered the kindle addition because I needed it for a class. I found it difficult to read so instead the local library had a hard copy edition and that worked better for me in this case. +The plot should not be revealed in a review but allowed to unfold in the reader's imagination. It is a complete, masterful work. + +Still, this is a four-star review which means I sincerely recommend the book for the many things that Ms. Scottoline achieves here. +8169 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Every book or series by this Author had been great. I have reread most of them numerous times. I read my first series in the 4th grade and I still love them 50 years later. +622 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This I've is rather short. But it does a really good job of introducing us to the Argenau clan and I really enjoyed it +643 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Hooked on this series right now! Lynsay has a way with words and her books have a light and funny story to them. +Could it be that I'm just too old for this book? The Search for Snatch doesn't seem as metaphysical in my sixties as it did in my teens. I kept hoping that there was more to Oscar's dilemma than simple hormonal compulsion. But there wasn't. Let's hope Junot Diaz gets past this hoary obsession with his own testosterone and writes a masterpiece some day. +8015 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was taken quite by Surprise with this book. It's a bit more erotic then I was expecting. I love how in keeping in true Mandy fashion Lorelei is a strong indpendant woman however despite being the heroine, she's also vulnerable which I loved. Kind of a twist and it was great. I also love how Sevan was his own hero however he and Lorelei balanced eachother out - being the opposite of eachother when needed. +8964 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Very sexy short story! The story line was one that pulled you in, and made you not able to put it down. +"The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" is at the same time both exhilarating, funny and political. And this is one of its major qualities. Daz makes you laugh, cry and think while entertaining you. He has one of the most assured voices of contemporary literature - a real blessing. + + +5940 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Ms. Briggs Mercy Thompson world is full of shadows, joys, sorrows, some scary creatures (with even the odd "good" evil vampire) to keep one entertained and engaged in the story and the lives of those she introduces. Her stories get better with rereading and the characters become welcome friends. The ongoing adventures of Charles and his Omega werewolf wife Anna add to the universe of Mercy Thomspon and move around geographically to interesting spots in America. Not too heavy on the usual blood and gore, which I appreciate. Easy on the "adult" language as well which is even more appreciated! Keep'em coming! +The book gets you hooked from the very beginning. It is its characters, the many stories told in it, its humanity and credibility, the historical period that focus on the Dominican Republic, and the real portray of the challenges, sufferings and process of survival and adaptation of the Dominican Diaspora in the USA. +No strange circumstances or elaborate plot lines, just good 'ol fashioned tender heartfelt romance. (with nice-not trashy- sex) +9997 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A sober tale of the last days of a mother, grandmother and great grandmother lost in Alzheimer's. Her and her dead husband's monologues are haunting, the hard core evidence of the soul search (and discoveries) of the daughter heart disturbing. Kudos to Ms. Stemper for never going into drama mode. This book is not a sitcom sensationalized by T.V. but a true moving story. Made me think of the simple solution never to become a drag to my own children and society. + +Justin and Amy are on their way to Hawaii for Christmas. Unfortunately the trip to Hawaii is all business. Justin has hopes of it becoming more, and after reading one of Amy's emails, he knows that Amy isn't quite the ice princess she pretends to be. Can Justin get Amy to loosen up enough to let him into her life? Can Amy let herself relax enough to have all her dreams come true? +7973 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What if the dreams just stop, Sevan? What if this is our last time together? +9689 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The same type of cute characters Cooper Davis had in her previous novel, Boys of Summer, are again in this new novel, even if this time the genre is different, Paranormal instead of Contemporary. But even if the men involved are werewolves, nevertheless they are innocent, almost naive, and it's strange since both of them should be Alpha males, usually the strongest and toughest of the pack. +Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed +3698 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This whole series is great. Recommend for anyone over the age of 8 or 10, depending on how mature the reader, as some of them can get quite intense - parents beware if your child is reading well beyond their age, some of these books have addiction to drugs, death, beatings, all sorts of stuff. I suggest you read first, to make sure your child is up to it. Any one over the age of 12 will love them. (I'm 26) +It was also a fascinating political study of a horrid dictatorship and trying to survive and raise a family under those awful conditions. Also there is story about those who escaped still working on healing the generations of abuse - about those who have good fortune and those who do not. +There's no slow buildup. You're thrown right into Alice's hell. It's an interesting choice. We see the kidnapping and glimpses of the past several years in flashback chapters, but not directly. We see her memories. It allows the story to pick up right away and to avoid getting down in a lot of exposition. It also allows us to come in at Alice's worst moment: the moment Ray says he has a new plan for her. This plan, to steal another child, is horrifying in itself, and a clever literary choice. It shows us just how broken Alice is mentally--so desperate for freedom from her abuse that she'll do anything to remove Ray's attention from her. The ending is abrupt, but I don't think it would have been good for it to drag either. + +1524 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was a great read.

Fortunately the Oberjarl recognizes that Halt's knowledge of strategy may be useful and allows our heroes to stay in Hallosholm and prepare for battle. +2958 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I didn't want these books to end! The story kept evolving. I loved these books. +Unlike many other haters of this tedious book, I didn't find it particularly difficult reading. The unannounced shifts back and forth in time and place didn't leave me adrift so much as amazed at their clumsiness. Then again, the book is essentially a monologue of remembrance, and human memories are messy things, so I was willing to conditionally accept that messiness as part and parcel of the protagonist. Speaking of the protagonist (middle-aged Veronica Hegerty), many haters seem to focus on her unlikability as the source of the book's problems. Personally, I don't think that a protagonist needs to be likable in any way -- just interesting. But she's not interesting in the slightest, just (like the book itself), annoyingly self-indulgent. I suppose this could be construed as a kind of commentary on her yuppiesh generation, but that seems like grasping at straws. Moreover, there are no other characters to connect with. The entire story takes place within Veronica's head, and even though it's populated with various family members who allegedly mean so much to her (in a love/hate way), the reader never gets a sense of any of them. +1308 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book should of almost been called, "the Brief Wondrous Lineage of Oscar Wao", since much of the book is filled not just with his story, but also his Mother's, Sisters, and Grandfather. An obscenely overweight Dominican sci-fi geek growing up in New Jersey Wao's story is one of a family cursed by what is known as the fuka. How this manifests itself in the life of of present day hero though, is revealed through that family's past; A past ripe with violence, will, and most importantly, love. The book is strewn with fantasy sci-fi references and passages in Spanish without the aid of translation, so there were snippets that were lost to me. Footnotes also are scattered throughout the book that are used as a history lesson mostly to educate the reader about the brutal thirty year reign of dictator Rafael Trujillo, and the ripple effect on Oscar's family. It's powerful writing, that's both laugh out loud funny at times,and also shocking in it's brutality. My one regret is that I don't speak Spanish. +I liked Containment, so I decided to try another story by Cantrell.

Montana is not the most romantic place that I can think of, but add a couple of sensual individuals and Ms. Jackson's writing abilities and you have a wonderful and heartwarming love story that leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling all over. I feel like a kid in a candy store having just discovered a new flavor. +7512 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I didn't like Kurt. I also had a bit of an issue with how certain scenes were a mix between "scientific research" and just a guy wanting to sleep with his employee. Would have been better if the scenes were either/or not both rolled into one. +Greg has been kidnapped and tied to a bed just when he was finally going to take his vacation. He was told he was there to cure some woman's phobia, but what he got was a beautiful woman convinced he was her birthday gift and house full of...VAMPIRES?!? + +9082 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Caleb was the man an woman would want. Sommer,on the other hand...got in my last nerve she was too stuck on making it on her on. Anyway... I enjoyed the book. +The overview just dose not due the book justice. It is a HOT, sensual medical story with a HEA. It is also one of her longest works. +The writing in this book surprised me - the only other book I've read by Elizabeth Scott is Love You Hate You Miss You, and while the writing in both of these was good, it's completely different. The writing in this novel is poetic, simplistic and beautiful, and that's not at all what I would have expected after Love You Hate You Miss You, in which the writing was much more descriptive. Maybe this story needed such a simple style, though - none of the really disturbing parts are described, and the reader has to imagine all the terrible details, which I think makes this book even more powerful. +Karigan is a fantastic heroine; shes plucky, intelligent, and loyal. She has a very stubborn and headstrong way of dealing with things, which can be a negative thing, but often causes the reader to just chuckle at the situations she gets herself in. Instead of bestowing a name for the horse she inherited (since the Rider never told her), she insists on calling him Horse. Horses intelligence and uncanny ability to predict danger, not to mention not listening to a word Karigan says, will have you falling in love with him. The story mainly focusses on Karigan, but the supporting characters are fantastic, especially the Berry SistersMiss Mayberry and Miss Bunchberryand their eclectic, magical house. The world building was very well done, particularly the magical abilities inherited by the Green Riders. +Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies) +9833 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 H-E-double L's BELLS I enjoyed "Devil's Lair". Mr. Wisehart actually made me want to read Dante's "Inferno". + +9820 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This story is a Grail Quest and a journey which follows Dante's route into the inferno. The group undertaking the quest includes an epileptic girl, a friar, a poet and a knight who lost his memory after a deep head wound. Their world is devastated by the plague, the Black Death. Their quest is to acquire the lance of Longinus, the soldier who pierced Christ's side, and take it into the underworld, through the nine circles of hell. There they will use the lance to gain possession of the Grail and bring it back to earth to help to heal it. Not all of them will return! + +In Hollywood calculus: 'Infernal Affairs' (Hong Kong-made original movie) + 'The Brothers Bulger' = Scorsese's 'The Departed' + +However, after complaining about it on Goodreads, I gave myself a promise to finish this ASAP in order to finaly start the real book. I was glad I did, because as soon as I started reading it got interesting all of a sudden. The last ten pages were fantastic and I'm anxious to find out more. If it's anything like the second half of the prequel I'll read it with pure pleasure! +5001 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoy reading different versions of the BIBLE. I had not heard of this one until we visited a church where the Pastor cited passages from it. +The language is a bit repetitive at times, and often, the author over-explains and over-describes. There were a few scenes that got a chuckle out of me, but in many situations, the humor felt forced and construed. + +8485 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed all of these quotes from the Bible and other sources, including Shakespearean plays. They were all interesting and relevant to life. +Characters: 3 stars +3010 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Wow! out of the chute action, romance and one Hot Outlaw named Cal Ryker! +Look What Santa Brought is a novella in the anthology, The Perfect Gift. I found it to be the perfect read to lift my spirits after a hard day so much that I thought Santa had visited my house a few days early! + +4305 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I had this when I was a little girl, and I wanted my granddaughter to have one too - and she has enjoyed it. + + +2240 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The most powerful thing in existence is a collection of genuine knowledge in one place, and I will simply say that: this is it! +Charles has also inherited a few gifts of his own. Although his father, Bran, is a Welshman, his mother was Salish. When she became pregnant after the Change, her father who possessed magical abilities helped her to stay human so that she could carry the baby to full-term. Charles' mother did not survive childbirth because she was so weak from resisting the Change each month with the full moon. Charles was born a werewolf; he was not Changed. This has given him a few extra magical talents, such as having the ability to Change quickly. +I know she had to get into the woods to fulfil the story but getting drunk, deliberately running out in the middle of the night and getting chased by The Beast was just plain silly. It was reminiscent of those old-time movies where the "feisty" girl reporter is told not to go into the cellar and of course, the first thing she does is just that. Izzy, told not to go into the woods by just about everyone she meets, does just that too. +I started off reading these just because of the upcoming television series, but now I love them only for their own sake. + +http://www.thepaige-turner.com/2012/06/living-dead-girl-by-elizabeth-scott.html + + +2655 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Abigail Reynolds' books are always a joy to read. This on is no exception. Treat your and buy this book. +7874 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Having been a devoted fan of Lovecraft all my life (he's my all-time favorite writer), I HAD to buy this book for the Kindle I just received today. It has almost all of his stories ... for only 1.99! That's less than 200 pennies! So far I only read From Beyond, one of my favorite stories of his. I found a few small typos, but that's okay. Editors are not perfect! Every book on the market has a least a couple of errors in them. I'm still giving this 5 stars. It's H.P. Lovecraft! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended if you're an H.P. fan! +i liked the originality and strong setting/tone of the book too. not for the faint of heart which is precisely why it is very good for people who want something different from the run-of-the-mill stuff. looking forward to the next installment and Mr. Fook's future fiction works! +i won't repeat all of the other comments, i can concur on the difficulties of making the transition to kindle reading. if i was still in a job that had me traveling alot it might make sense but since i pick up my newspapers off my front porch it just doesn't work. + +I am glad I did download it. There is lots of food for thought here. It will make you think twice about a lot of things going on in the world today and make you examine your feelings about political and religious issues. I only gave it 4 stars as I felt the ending was a little "flat", but even with that, I would recommend reading this book. +Some of it was hokey - ok -- female gemmates get "sick" and can't do the naughty with anyone but their 'true gemate', but no such problems exist for the male gemmate. Right. +--- She was cabeza dura and I was . . . exigente. + +5250 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Brilliant! This is the book everyone should read before they finish High School. It's never too early in life to read this book and it's never too late. Stressed by money, debt and bills? Dave will tell you how you can clean it all up and prevent it from happening again. It will be hard work and no one can do it for you, but you won't feel alone when you read the stories about people who were in your situation and pulled themselves out of it. Give it a read. It's just a book. It won't bite you and you will only have to give up a couple of hours of TV to read it. +This one is a classic. Great job, Cooper Davis. +4886 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A very touching love story, not a lot if characters to remember. Simple, but strong story line. Recommend for someone who wants a short love story to read. +3945 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Worth the read. Impressed +As the story goes on, Horry does Marry Lord Rule and she begins to live a life of luxury. Soon enough, she begins to gamble and winds up getting herself a bit of a reputation. She meets a man named Robert Lethbridge, with a reputation himself of being a ladies man. Before she knows it, Horry starts a friendship with Lethbridge, against her husbands wishes. But Horry wants to make Rule jealous, she knows he keeps a mistress himself, the Lady Massey. +John F. MacArthur makes some excellent points about the life of a Christian after conversion. Many of the topics discussed will shock you back into the reality of Christ's true teachings. Throughout this book he explains the spiritual truths in Jesus' parables. +In the end, Dr. Thompson says it may not be your fault if you are overweight because of your family history of insulin resistance. But he did say "The Glycemic Load Diet" is "something you CAN do" to change that now. +3227 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have to confess its has been a long time since I read any Harlequin Presents, but I happen to see "The Sheikh's Chosen Wife" by Michelle Reid and decided to buy it. I am so happy that I did. This was a great story with strong characters facing modern problems. The writing was great and the passion between the main characters was very believible. Can't wait to read more from Michelle Reid. +First, let me say please don't judge a book by it's title, because I think this title is absolutely horrible, though the story itself is a great read (am also not crazy about these photo covers that EC uses a lot). The main characters are likable, the chemistry between them leaps off of the page, there is some surprisingly good humor, and the book is well-written. The focus of this book is the developing relationship between Belle and Jack. Even the mystery subplot (is Jack Sean? is Jack Jack? etc.) revolves around them. +4752 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a thorough presentation by Pastor Macarthur of the reality of the Lordship of Christ. Indisputable biblical evidence of the fact we must surrender to our Lord Jesus and demonstrate it in our lives. A must read book (another one!) by Pastor John Macarthur. +I have the whole series. +In this particular work we are given a very nice forward by C.H.W. Johns who was an Assyriologist and Church of England Clergyman. Johns has quite a number of academic papers under his belt, this being one of them. + +This free society should be attained by the following measures: abolition of all private property, of the family nucleus, of all countries and nationalities, of all religions and moralities, of all rights of inheritance and of all child labour. +319 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 absolutely essential + +6798 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is an enjoyable book for women to read, written by a man, great title, says everything! Even the stuff you may not want to know. This guy's writing style is great. I'd love to read more of his books, a primer of a man's mind. Very useful, and funny. Buy it! + +Can't put it down! + +9063 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good story, got a tad annoyed at Sommer's stubbornness , but true love prevails. I would like to read Tasha's story,she deserves a HEA.n +"With Caution" is a fine complement to "Without Reservation". The main characters of Remi and Jake were introduced in that novel, and in this one, we get to see them mature and step into their new roles. J. L. Langley manages to mix excitement, danger, and eroticism all seamlessly, adding in a bit of humor when needed. It's enthralling to see Remi faced with pure lust and attraction for Jake, but not understanding why since he's straight. We spend quite a bit of time in Remi's head, and we learn his motivations and empathize with him. Jake is also a complex character in a difficult situation. He knows Remi is his mate, and the attraction is just as strong for him as it is for Remi. Jake is also a very dominant Alpha, and his first instinct is to throw Remi down and make him submit, but such an act on the unready Remi will merely scare him away. Jake walks a fine line between staying near enough to Remi to gain his trust, but still keep his arousal and instincts under control. +Oh yah, about Raymond Chandler, about the guy who wrote the book. Like I said in another review he, along with Brother Dashiell Hammett (the author of The Thin Man, and creator of The Maltese Falcon's Sam Spade maybe the most famous tough guy detective of them all. Who, come to think of it, also had a judgment problem when it came to women, although not Hollywood women but up north in Frisco town) turned the dreary gentile drawing-room sleuth by-the-numbers crime novels that dominated the reading market back in the day on its head and gave us tough guy blood and guts detectives we could admire, could get behind, warts and all. Thanks, guys. +How many ways can I say it - this is one outstanding story! +I appreciate that I do not have to delete the book because of swearing or trash talk. + + +4142 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The author provides a very deep discussion about +He does things with her, things I am not comfortable talking or writing about - but I think you have an idea about what it is.. This book is definetely not for kids or people who are delicate. +Susan Krinard is the only author in this collection who doesn't write a new chapter for an existing series, but creates an entirely new world. Because it is new however there more space given to explanation rather than story telling which somewhat weakens the story. In, 'Kinsman', a damaged telepath and a princess in disguise band together to halt a conspiracy that has universe wide implications that could create war. In the end it is literally their love that saves the day. I hope that this was just an introduction to a new world and that she writes a full book for it, perhaps for the missing - and found Prince. + +5954 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 loved it! +Marillier's writing is rich and vivid, immediately transporting readers to the world of Jena (the narrator) and her sisters. Although dense with foreign terms (defined in a glossary at the end of the book) and unusual names (explained in a pronunciation guide at the end of the book), this story is sure to quickly enchant readers looking for a classic fantasy story with an original twist. +I mean, the idea of the book had merit. + +Craig Johnson writes with a great deal of detail and this certainly isn't a fast-paced page turner. But it is an intriguing indepth look at the characters and the rugged area where they live. I liked that the story had a bit of the spiritual and supernatural, especially when Longmire was in rescue mode. The Cold Dish isn't for the faint of heart, but delivers a powerful story that is not only difficult to put down, but to forget after the last page is read. Johnson is a top-notch author and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. +Cute short story, but best of all, it was free. + +949 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Thirty years before Sinclair Lewis published Babbitt and set the standard for smug, self-important middle-class conformity, there was The Diary of a Nobody and Charles Pooter. Pooter, a senior bank clerk in the City renting a home in a London suburb of Holloway, encapsulates Victorian respectability, snobbery, and pretensions. Pooter nearly invariably gets the short end of the stick in his interactions with his two neighbors, Cummings and Gowings; his spendthrift, reckless son Lupin; and the various tradesmen and servants he attempts to bully. Slavishly devoted to his employer, Mr. Perkupp, Pooter tries without much luck to cut his son into the same mold. Instead, Lupin slacks at work and spends his nights engaged in amateur theatrics or carousing with his chums till all hours. What's a father to do? +4332 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A.A. Milne's books for children - "Winnie-the-Pooh," "The House at Pooh Corner," "When We Were Very Young," and "Now We Are Six," with the Ernest Shepard illustrations (not the Disney versions!) - all of them have been favorites of mine since I was 4 years old, and I give them as gifts to all my grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and I hope they will give them to their descendants also! My only misgiving is that the volume may be too heavy for preschoolers to hold. +Revenge is indeed The Cold Dish served up here, and it couldn't get any colder. + + +427 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I could go on and on about how much this book spoke to me! God is real, God is truth, God is love......Mr. Storm goes beyond not only his amazing journey that God took him on, while teaching him throughout the journey......but he then comes back to share it all with us! Let me warn you....it will be hard to put this book down! I'm sad it has come to an endI hope you enJOY the journey as much as I did. Glory to God, for His Love for mefor His love for ALL OF US! This book definitely has the power to be a life changing tool, I pray that that's what it will be for me! Blessings to you as you read and learn more about your creator, your Father in Heaven +This was a great sexy novella with a bit of suspense thrown in. I will be buying more of Ms Arend's books! +Through her good work, Sara Miles has set up a number of similar food pantries in San Francisco, helping hundreds of people. This heartwarming, sometimes funny and sometimes sad, story of one woman's plight to bring the church to the people should be an inspiration to all of us to reach out to those around us, and embrace God's children, as he embraces us all. +5181 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I just finished this series (plus Tempting book #4). I loved Susan Mallery!!! I will be looking for more of her books for sure! This is definitely a keeper for me! +6843 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a very good story with a good story line and kept to it throughout. I would recommend it to others who are interested in this type of work. +5237 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great companion for the book! + +2513 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love the "original" Winnie the Pooh and these books are priceless. So happy I was able to get all four on the anniversary of Winnie the Pooh. I ordered the hardback books so they will hold up for my grandchildren years from now. You won't be disappointed in these books. + +I enjoyed this book so much that I told my sister about it and she said she wanted to read it too so I bought one for her and one for myself. I've told others about the book and I think it is helpful, no matter what your financial situation is. Some parts of the book didn't apply to us but I found the second half of it to be especially informative which is why I decided to buy a copy. Unless you already have millions of dollars in the bank and have all of your finances under control (retirement, investments, kids' college education, etc.), I think you'll find the information in this book to be useful. +456 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I bought the book mainly because it contained a quote that it could sit beside "The Killer Angels" and other great Civil War novels. After reading it, the only thing it has in common with "The Killer Angels" is that they both take place during the Civil War. + +4064 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I could not even finish this. It dithered between smarmy and unrealistic humans and annoyingly nameless and interchangeable non-humans. The nons were completely indistinguishable and kept either dying or getting promotions to fiull the vacated spaces. The underlying idea was interesting but very badly realized. +8409 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 If you're looking for a heavy hitting drama, this is not the book for you. If you're in the mood for a light, fun, and at time laugh out loud battle of the opposite sexes then look no further. This authors writing style is fast paced, witty and oozing with sarcasm, it was simply a joy to read. + +I've decided to continue subscribing. I've been reading NYT in bed before getting up for awhile now, and it's a great way to start the day. I'd still like for it to be better, but reading the newspaper in bed in the early morning is a new joy I don't want to give up. +Julian Devereux is and isn't what he seems at first glance: he is both a fraud and a genuine clairvoyant with minimal control over his talent. He knows things no one else should know and hears voices no one else can hear. Julian is also keeping a secret; one his grandfather welds to maintain tight control of him. + + +All in all this is a fantastic book and I commend Mr. Wisehart on such an incredible novel. Highly Recommended. +3229 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Back in the sixties, I, a Gentile, taught in an Orthodox Jewish girls school in Brooklyn. It was a fascinating experience and it raised a lot of questions for me. I am sure that an observant Jew would find holes to pick, but I really got caught up in this relationship and community and look forward to next installments! +7637 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 THIS IS A VERY GOOD READ, GOOD PLOT, KEPT ME INTERESTED TO THE END. ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WAS THE ANT HILL PART, NOT TOO PLAUSIBLE. OTHERWISE, I WAS ENTERTAINED RATHER ECONOMICALLY. +1306 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Junot Diaz's fictional rendition of Oscar de Leon actually instills a deep and vividly grotesque account of the Dominican Republic's ultimate Diablo - Trujillo Molena. And, from his atrocities come numerous De Leon family tragedies - grandfather, grandmother, two aunts, mother, and ultimately - but more distantly - Oscar. + +I couldn't be happier! Easy to find verses. I use this at my bible study +9950 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 When I first started reading this book, I was skeptical as to whether I would like it or not. I have to say - I LOVE IT. I could hardly put it down once I got into it. Barbara has a way of taking a fairytale and bringing it into today's world and making a doggoned great mystery out of it. She has a sense of humor par excellence. I seemed to be reading excerpts to my husband constantly, and he was laughing along with me. + +3904 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is another book I've reread and reread. Remington is learning to deal with life as a werewolf, and is at first unaware that Jake is his mate, although he can't figure out why his eyes continue to shift every time he's near the man. Remy's first concern is always protecting his dearly loved little brother, Sterling. Remy is more a father to Sterling than their abusive father ever one. There is a complex plot involving suppressed memories, the absolute evil that his father is, and protecting Sterling. All the while the relationship between Remy and Jake grows, and we learn a lot more about the rest of the pack members. + + +Mayes would make a wonderful food critic, as her description of the large variety of cuisine she experienced makes drooling from the reader a possibility. The tapas tasted throughout Italy, rissoles in Lisbon or food passed around on the flight to Naples is a gourmet experience for the reader. +I started reading A Hint of Wicked late one night thinking I would just read a few pages before I went to sleep, but quickly found myself completely absorbed in the love triangle between childhood friends and unable to put it down. +5270 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 We got this because we remembered skimming a great budget how-to by Dave Ramsey. This was not that book. It has lots of inspiring stories and it definitely strengthened our resolve to take control of our finances, but I think "Financial Peace University" is the one that tells you in detail how to do things. +Aislinn is quite the main protagonist. She's tenacious and bold, beautiful and strong. The romance that blooms between her and the prince is well developed after years of solid friendship and teasing. I enjoyed reading about their secret courtship and had no idea how their romance would turn out! Ms. Zoltack has a few twists in store that will shock and startle as well as please. +8233 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love sexy mnage novels that have well developed characters and a believable plot, and this one did not disappoint. I really want there to be a sequel novel that further develop the triads relationship and maybe a visit to Chase's family. +The first time she drank blood it was positive. After that it was negative. Then she got some more positive and she had an allergic reaction and had to have a shot with an epi-pen to save her life. She is dead and doesn't breath anyway. She can only drink negative blood. Yeah I don't get it either. +8344 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved the suspense and unpredictable story + +I gave it 5 Stars for being well written, hard to put down, character development, the way the author tied everything together and the fact that every time I thought I had it figured out I was wrong! Doh! + +Sara is hooked, and is soon a full-fledged member of the church, receiving Communion on a regular basis. Her desire to share the breaking of bread with those less fortunate becomes overwhelming. + + + +1164 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It was free on kindle, I have not had chance to review it but after Christmas I will have more time. +Having seen `their' cougar for days without the pretty feline coming any closer, Jericho and Hunter are surprised when she finally gets close enough to them for them to touch her. Realizing she is exhausted and hurt, they bring her inside. Hours later, both men are surprised to find their cougar has vanished and a naked and beautiful but skittish woman seems to have appeared from thin air. They have no idea the woman they are seeing is the cougar they have been slipping food to for months. + +6113 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really enjoyed this book. The villain was very disturbing and I really felt for the victims and their families. It made me question what the definition of law enforcement's mantra of "doing our best". If I was a parent of a missing child, and knowing the horrible things that may happen to them in the hands of their captor, I would expect the people working on the case to be working non-stop 24/7. Of course, that's not realistic. I felt for Steven too, his conflict with the responsibilities of his work and his family but was often quite frustrated at him as I felt that at times he wasn't doing enough, especially when he was distracted with Jenna. + +952 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Perhaps this was funnier when it was originally written, but most of the humor in this book completely missed me. I did start to get interested in the main character towards the end of the book, but the ending was not very satisfying at all. If this type of story interests you, I would recommend that you read something by P.D. Wodehouse instead. (There are some free and/or inexpensive Kindle versions of Wodehouse available). +2585 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I had to download this one day when I got a Pooh craving. That happens sometimes, even to us adults. Just as fun to read now as it was when I was a kid. +8968 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have never read a book like this before. I am very conservative but thought I would check it out to try something new. I was very surprised at how much I did like it. I read some reviews where people were bashing the book because they were appalled about the threesome issue. It clearly stated in the description of the book that that was what this was. I knew what to expect and so should they if they bothered to read the description. It was very well written and the characters were people that seemed like real people you would want to be friends with. I really liked the fact that the men were geeks in high school and now were good looking and still wanted the girl they did in high school. Most of us were geeks in high school and would love to find out that someone they knew and may have liked as well had also liked them. + +But, as you read further, suicide is not only a depressing concept to this family, but is the main reason for the family gathering at the brother Liam's wake. And, as the large family congregates for the wake, she realizes that the family has cliques and more within its foundation. "We do not always like the people we love - we do not always have that choice." "We are born to love the people we otherwise would not care to know." +I loved it and would highly recommend it. +Once again, Keating was an entertaining narrator. There did seem to be a slightly larger pause than normal between some chapters, but that really isn't a hardship. + +The ending is edge-of-your seat action. I love the way the author tied up all of the loose ends. It was a very satisfying conclusion. +6297 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Sawyer is a wonderful writer with a real feel for human emotion. She somehow manages to place her readers right smack dab in the middle of her stories. You feel each character's pain and heartbreak and then, joy. +As in BLIND ALLEY, Trevor is aligned against those who feel that MacGuire holds the key to the mystery of the treasure's whereabouts. But the stakes are much higher in COUNTDOWN. One of the treasure seekers has entered into a mutual aid agreement with terrorists who threaten the United States. MacGuire and Trevor ultimately find themselves in a race against time and distance as they leave safety and security to bring the battle home --- and to hopefully solve the mystery of Cira's treasure. + +This story was published as an e-book and may be readers' introduction to the Yuuzhon Vong or people may run across the aliens for the first time in Vector Prime. Either way works fine to give the reader exposure to some serious bad guys. +1474 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I very much enjoyed the individual books in the book of words and this collection is a great price at which to review the works. Fun and different. +3281 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thought this a very good piece of fiction writing. The characters were well constructed and were people I found myself caring about. The final outcome of the climax was not obvious until the very end. I would like to read the next in the series. +I have read the first three books in the Soul Screamers series, and then I heard about the Soul Screamer Challenge put on by Fiktshun. I decided it would be fun to start over and read all the novellas along the way. I am really glad I did after read My Soul to Lose for the first time. If you have read even the first book in the Soul Screamers series, there are little things to notice in the novella. It is kind of fun, because it almost like a private joke for someone who has already been introduced to Soul Screamers. I hope that re-reading the books and reading the novellas will open my eyes to things I did not notice before. + + +I guess the real rub is this is screaming out for a bigger stage. +3558 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Just the right kind of alpha. Pretty steamy,so if looking for a clean historical romance this is not for you, but as for me, I couldn't wait to read another by this author. +The main killer for this collection -- Monospace font. The whole collection is in a large, unchangable font. Also, there are no marker bars between stories or chapters (active table of contents). +In overall - worth $0.99 per month for a tons of great free books daily. +I told him I had some money in a savings account and a CD. He convinced me to leave $1,000 on the savings account and close my CD. He asked, "would you borrow money from your bank to open a CD?" Well, what can I say, it made total sense to me. I was sold. +Several of these discoveries are generally familiar to us from newspapers, like Tutankhamen (Tut) Tomb, Machu Picchu, the Rosetta Sone, Pompeii, and Troy. Others are vaguely familiar like Akrotiri, Nineveh, Leakys work, the tomb of 10,000. Interestingly, several of the most famous archeological events were discovered accidentally - pure serendipity! Others required much effort and extensive spending . It is difficult to discuss all of them here but two stand out as very significant. Take the Rosetta Stone, which was accidentally discovered by Napoleons forces while cleaning the Nile river in 1799. The writing on this stone enabled the deciphering of the hieroglyphic language thus opening up the ancient history of the Egyptians which was a mystery for 2000 years. But Tuts tomb was considered the greatest discovery of the 20th Century and also the most rewarding. In a US tour in 1976 it attracted over 8 million visitors and brought over $100 million in income. +-- Damon Knight +Its a book that stays with you after you read it. +During one Full Moon, the Dancing Glade receives new guests referred to as the Night People from another realm. Jena is disturbed by the aloof visitors and realizes that the atmosphere has begun to change in the Other Kingdom. +In closing, I think is one is going to create an allegory to this extent, it isn't a good idea to completely skew the message. + +4855 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 "Letters of Jane Austen" contains the famous English author's surviving personal correspondence, beginning around age twenty and extending nearly to her early death at age 41. The collection will probably have the most meaning to readers who are already familiar with her life and her novels, which provide the necessary context for fully appreciating her letters. +This series came strongly recommended to me many years ago and it got lost in the shuffle oh my other books. This is the prequel to the series and I opted to listen to it on audio. +7695 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was a great read. I totally enjoyed it. + +Sophie is front and center at the end of the fighting and legal dramas because she is caught loving two men but can only have one. While she dreams of having the both of them in her life and bed this is not a realistic possibility and she knows she has to let one go. But which one owns her heart and feeds her soul. Which one is the light for her and will keep her warm and safe throughout her life. Which one..... + +4141 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I am so glad that I ordered "The Third Jesus". I have read several of Deepak Chopra's books and have enjoyed them all. We've been taught about the man coming of age, gathering disciples, teaching and healing the masses. We have learned about the "Son of God" being tortured and ridiculed, put to death only to rise again. This book gives an interesting slant on what life would have been like growing up and living in Nazerath at that time with all of the laws, traditions, and of course, the Romans. I highly recommend ALL of Chopra's writing. +Layel and Delilah made an appearance. They were just so cute together and they have a baby on the way! YAY! +9893 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 If you're looking for a good and quick read during your lunch or smoke break at work, you probably want to give this one a pass: I wish I did. I kept wondering where this story was heading and when the ending came I was fairly disappointed I mentally asked "this is it?" I wish I wouldn't have wasted the 5-10 minutes it took to read it. +The plot has very little to do with the fog or its origins. It simply focused completely on these kids creating a little society of their own. I will say that it was obvious that a lot of thought and planning went into the storyline. But, the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying. +6248 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this set of books! Rathbone's writing captivated me from start to finish. The characters are well developed and likable/detestable. It flowed well with no 'wasted' sections. I just really enjoyed this set even when it brought me to tears. +6108 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Steven is one of the agents from Karen's book Don't Tell, six months later his family is still trying to cope with the emotional trauma Rob Winters inflicted when he kidnapped Stevens youngest son. A girl is murdered and another one goes missing, Steven knows he is dealing with a serial killer that won't stop until he is caught. When he finds out his son is failing chemistry he meets with Jenna, Brad's teacher. They have an instant connection; Jenna has problems of her own. She is failing a star football player, she refuses to give into the threats from people to get him back on the team and now the serial has his sights set on her. This book was just as good as her last one; the characters were once again realistic with great personalities. The story line was interesting and creative without being ostentatious. The suspense in this novel had me reading this book in one sitting to find out who the killer was. Have You Seen Her is another great book from this author and I can't wait to get my hands on her next book +I am waiting for the next installment...Ivan story, and to see Jordan with his love. I have start reading the online read from Harlequin which begin yesterday. This online is about Jordan & his family. +Each character in this book is developed- they have quirks but are not solely contained within them. The "villains" are not empty creatures of evil, but complex and driven folk, and Jena's compassion tries time and again to be fair and not judge them for their wrongs. +6399 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I just love Brenda Jackson and her stories. They are so full of live and understanding that everyone is not perfect but they are all worth it +Of course, this being a romantic novel, this rather tepid union doesn't stay that way. Horatia's antics shock the Polite World, and the Earl, far from being the lazy aristocrat he appears, takes a hand in some intrigue. It's great fun, and the outcome isn't hard to guess. +6806 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoy Philo Cance movies, so got the novels. +When I was a kid, I had a book called "One Minute Mysteries" that I loved. It had short mysteries that had clues in them. At the end of each one, the detective would state that he had solved the crime, then the book would ask something like, "How did he know?" The reader could try to figure it out, then turn the page for the answer. There are four stories in this format included in this collection. I have to admit that I was only able to 'solve' two of them. This author showed tremendous talent in his ability to weave intelligent mysteries. +The friendship between these three Women is so great and their leading men are so hawt. There is a lot of hawtness going on in this series. The sex scenes are so awesome and in perfect balance with the plot. +Whew this is the introduction to the leopard people and Lordy is it hot and sexy, From beginning to end it just gets better. +As usual JD Robb has written another great installment of the "In Death" series, which I am reading from the beginning for the second time. + +4059 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 For those that have the NET with footnotes, this editiion is good for those who will wish to simply read the text without any commentary. +3384 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 "RIDE WITH THE DEVIL" IS A VERY EXCITING, WELL WRITTEN BOOK. IF YOU ARE A "REAL" WESTERN FICTION LOVER, YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY THIS BOOK . NOT ONLY IS THERE SOME "HOOK-AND-DRAW", BUT IT IS FULL OF ACTION, SUSPENSE AND MYSTERY. IT IS A BOOK THAT YOU WON'T WANT TO PUT DOWN, UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED IT. ALL OF THE "HAWK" SERIES FALLS INTO THIS CATEGORY. JUST KEEP ON KEEPING ON. +For the Kindle I've been trying out the NYT's Latest News and the AP Business along with the San Jose Merc. + +This is definitely as good if not better quality than many of the full priced books of the same genre. I think the author is doing himself a disservice by giving the book away for free, I would have paid good money for this. +4932 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I brought this before I saw the page length at just over 100 pages. This is a quick read much to quick for me. There was no sexual tension. Please, I like to see my hero work for the sex he is getting. +- You are starving yourself to death, what must your sisters think & feel with you perishing & wasting in front of their eyes (and the youngest one may I remind you of the fact that she is only 5?) .... OH NOOOOOOOO, I don't care, I caaaaaaant, I am hopelessly in LUV. +Sheri's attacker has followed her to Halle, Max the puma leader contacts the Alpha wolf from the Poconos pack for help against the rogue wolf and his small pack, Sheri is guarded and Adrain steps up to make sure she is protected by him - her mate. Sheri knows that Adrian will be attacked when the crazy wolf realizes they are together. +Concepts from quantum physics are not easy to comprehend, especially if the reader doesn't have some background in science. Furthermore, these ideas present a different world view from that of Descartes and Newton, and there are many scientists (and some reviewers obviously!) who are stuck in this classical reductionist, materialist world-view and who refuse to accept that there is evidence of phenomena that simply cannot be explained with these principles. I am a scientist who has used quantum concepts in my research, and I do not `belong' to any religion: so I have no preconceived beliefs to distort my assessment of the facts. The personal stories that McTaggart tells here are not irrelevant, as one reviewer suggested - they put a human face to scientists who are thought by many to be without emotions because their work must necessarily be objective. +7887 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've bought all of Frank Tuttle's previous Markhat the Finder offerings, as well as Wistrel Compleat, and enjoyed them all. Hold the Dark is definitely the longest and most enjoyable of the three Markhat stories. I added the "sort of" qualifier in the review title because it ticks me off when publishers (I assume they make this decision) add excerpts from other works at the end of a Kindle edition. Since Kindle edition works have no page numbers, readers use a percentage display to gauge how much of a work they've read. Hold the Dark ends at 89% of the Kindle document and the last 11% is excerpts from the other two Markhat works, which is ridiculous because they are really just short stories, and from a work by some other author presumably from the same publisher. ++ Vespasian +How it's possible that the nuclear radiation affected only the Jews and not the Palestinians? +Jareth De Machadle Duke of Catheda Very Handsome & Noble Englishman( You will fall in love with this Hero-I dare you not too!) Resides on the Scottish Border ( the English side of Course) This is the 1500's and it's Scots -vs- "bloody" English! +Eve and Joe have only minor parts while some of the secondary characters are developed pretty well and play major roles. If you liked "Blind Alley", you will probably like this book. If you didn't like it or don't like any "mysticism", this will not be a good plot for you. +The big secret is that Vic is a secret. Who knew? Why is the big mystery. Who is trying to hide him away? Another question I had was why does he want to be found? +Perhaps my inability to knit and my fascination with those who do was an attraction +ARC from the author for an honest review. +4222 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 none +Location 6145 "Perhaps your right" instead of "Perhaps you're right" + The author's metaphysical description of unseen forces in the universe are interesting, and certainly easy to understand and think about, whether or not those forces actually exist in the form the author presents. It is easy to treat that analysis as an analogy, it is a good framework for things no one has successfully fully descibed or proven. One's own experience in applying the author's principles for action will undoubtedly give results that will conform to the expected outcomes suggested by the philosophical framework presented by the author. +While this first installment in the series does seem to have a story problem that is resolved (find the wielder) it isn't the main character's problem. His problem is feeling like an outcast in his home reality and I guess that is resolved in the story. It seems pretty easily resolved to me. The plot is strong for the story but the character arc is weak. +6760 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I laughed I cried I got upset I cried again. I got really sad when I realized there is no part two. L. Lowe Please reconsider that. The book is wonderful. It speaks to you. But it leaves way more questions then answers. Looking for a book to escape into. This is it. +In fact, and unknown to Ricardian economists or Marx, industrial Capitalism could not have emerged without the conscious decision of nations to allow for the rise of interest rates to free market heights, abandoning low interest rates policies, such low interest rates policies making possible the Mercantilist pre-industrial Capitalist era. Only with higher, market-based interest rates is it possible to accumulate the necessary large quantities of capital for industrial enterprise. +4632 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a wonderful book with a very interesting story of life in Penang before and during World War II arrives in that far off area. +1326 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 These books are pretty popular at the library and I have always found the cover intersting, so last night I decided to check out the first three and read them. +3238 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Never read about how they met. Interesting to Read details about how other people practice their religion. Ending a great wrist + + +2296 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I added this one because of my complete collection of J.D. Robb in death series. I do not want to miss any of these even though I don't usually buy short stories but, they are all good writers and I have never been disapointed in any of the books. But, to be honest if it wasn't for J.D. I would not have purchased this book. +The author's research is detailed in the "Author's Note", "Bibliography" and "With Gratitude" sections at the end of the novel. These sections are not to be missed or the reader will miss very important elements in the quality of presentation tucked between the covers of this book that is now preserved for generations to come. It uniquely describes the past strife of the Civil War, uniquely honors the courage of a soldier in battle, and the human spirit of 'ordinary' individuals that become extraordinary not due to any oratory display or written document in the midst of war but through the simple actions of humanity during their everyday lives that speak louder than any words spoken or written. The story touched my heart and I hope I will always remember the depth of emotions as I closed the back cover. +and when i went to post it i got this: "We're sorry, but the review system is currently not available. Please check back soon." +4709 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The whole series is imaginative, inventive and compelling. These books can be read by both young adults and any age up to and including great grandparents! + +2221 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This little book has a lot of wisdom. + +Like Zelazny's Corwin of Amber and Jack of Shadows, Ravirn tells his own story in a first-person narrative that explodes onto the pages and keeps moving along at a brisk pace. Since I'd read the first book, the second book, CYBERMANCY, didn't offer any challenges to lock into the world. I felt like I was stepping back into a gathering of old friends. That's how you know you have excellent characters - when your readers can drop back in and never wonder once who is who. +9431 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thought this was an excellent story - could have fooled me in thinking it was from a "name" author vs. an independent offering a good story at a reasonable price. +Lessons in Love is a sweet story that will leave you with a warm, content feeling. Though it is not a new idea or plot, the characters Kate Davies has created will find a place in your heart. Even secondary characters like Carissa and Niles will have you turning the pages. I had hoped it wouldn't read so predictably, and then the characters would do something unexpected before reverting back to what I did expect. It was nice to find a comfortable read that threw a few surprises at me. Miss Davies has a way with characters and if you take a chance on this story, I'm sure you will understand what I mean. Realistic, believable, and loveable, they are well rounded and fun ++ Otho + + +8311 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Elizabeth Lennox is an incredible author who writes simple love stories that appeal to me. The plots and characters are well thought out and make for an enjoyable read. + +of The RAWSISTAZ(tm) Reviewers +1159 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 never read +8331 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This story is about two people of royal linage who are destined to marry. Prince Erik has procastinated many years to be a playboy. Princess Anastasia is tired of waiting. They are to meet up in the USA to anounce the impending marriage. Neither have seen the other is over ten years...Now comes the part that is cloudy. Are they cheating on each other with each other? Well I would think so since neither know the other by site. Read this and decide yourself. I have my opinon which is on her side to a point. She gave up on him when he became a no show...he was chasing after a new conquest the night of the anouncement and was a no show. Elizabeth Lennox still intrigues me with her story telling. +Action scenes were long and drawn out, which slowed the pace more than I would have liked. The final part of the book where the battle was over and the surviving characters recuperated was also a bit too drawn out for my tastes. + +6546 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I live in Desert Hot Springs, which is about a 10- to 15-minute drive from Palm Springs, and I felt like I was right in the middle of the action. I have driven on all of those roads and eaten at all of the restaurants, and that made the story even better. The grammar and punctuation problems mentioned by other reviewers were noticeable, but that did not detract from the story. Furthermore, Mr. Simon will be releasing an edited version, so I will enjoy reading it again, at that time; and I know I will love it even more! I definitely will be buying all of the books in the series and watching for more from this author. I was especially pleased with the minimal foul language and over-the-top blood, gore, and violence that characterize so many mysteries these days. Mr. Simon, keep up the good work. You have written about Palm Springs, the Tram, and the Coachella Valley - if you ever decide to write a book about Desert Hot Springs, I will proof-read and edit it for you for free!!!! We can meet at Sherman's Deli, where the best Rueben sandwich in the world can be found! +6962 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Outstanding. I have read the entire Longmire series including the short stories and thoroughly enjoyed them. They are very well written. The main characters are very down to earth and likeable people. The stories/plots were all very entertaining; with laugh out loud comedy and some really touching parts that brought tears. Wyoming was described so well I could almost see the terrain. +5234 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 There isn't anything really new in this book, but he has a system. I felt the system was easy to follow. Well thought out and liberating. +3531 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Extremely enlightening. +8164 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 E.E. Smith well deserves his reputation. I di not know he liked the ladies so much. However much these stories caught the readers attention when first published, much of the "Gee Whiz" is very dated. +I am so glad I kept reading, because soon enough the character of Jim Richards became very appealing to me, and I could not put the book down. Although it has a great plot and plenty of murder, it is deftly written with a light touch, with just the right blend of humor and mystery. The characters are clearly defined and before you know it, you are along for the ride. +Resolving the Bohr Electron Dilemma via the ZPF +My only wish is that I could have read this first on some rainy day in December with a Stardust martini close at hand, but I guess that's what rereads are for. (Living in Seattle, a rainy December day isn't too hard to find...) + +I love the Clearmont-Buffalo Wyoming area and, even more so, the Bighorn Mountains and the region from Cody to Thermopolis to Greybull andback through Powell - my favorite area of the planet. + + +The wisdom of the bee keeper that saves the physical and emotional life of a young girl can help all that read this very interesting, touching, treasure of a book. + +When Max realized Emma was his mate, nothing could keep him away and Ms. Bell was able to portray the raw power of an alpha male. Emma, on the other hand, is just as strong as she is funny and I love that in a heroine. +9609 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Some may think it as a strange claim, but I see "Finding Margo" as a coming-of-age story. Margo's emotionally abusive and controlling husband and her efforts to please him have in many ways stilted her growth into adulthood. When she reaches her breaking point and leaves him while in a foreign country she has no plan - she just has to escape. What follows is Margo "finding herself" in all the ways that clich implies. Margo learns to take care of herself, stand up for herself, and make decisions for herself, all against a cultural backdrop as foreign to Margo as it will be for most readers. An excellent read. + +4874 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Garret and Haley were funny. I wished it was longer and more in depth. Leanne is a great writer, I will be reading more of her books +I stumbled across this book yesterday, blurb sounded interesting and I know UTC loves Evangeline Anderson so I gave it a go while I went to get a pedicure. Well.... I can probably sum up my review in this one sentence: I devoured this book! +4350 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this story. The conflicts didn't last long and the hero showed his love long before he told her he loved her. + +As Esther works, becomes a committed union member, and falls in love with Kid, we see the plight of women who must fulfill family responsibilities at enormous costs to themselves, and as we come to know her family, we see the various paths taken by its members as they carve out a place in life. Her relationship with one of the city's many prostitutes illustrates the desperation of some women who are on their own, and how close she herself is to the dividing line between them. Kid Twist, though more thoughtful, is not far from the brutal Gyp in his efforts to control his life, and Trick the Dwarf, while yearning for a "normal" relationship, scrabbles about among the city's lowlife trying to find a place in the world. +1319 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My review is twofold; first a few comments on the author and then a few more on the negative ratings some readers have posted. +4342 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 The storyline in itself is a little dull. So she's gorgeous and amazing, and no other woman looks like her... we're kind of tired of hearing that... I like characters with flaws (she had a scar on her back, it didn't make it better). The author described her amazing beauty too much, it reminded me of Twilight... I don't like to be reminded of Twilight. +2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. This has hit the middle class hardest because the elites who own the political machinery will never have their wealth redistributed. ++ Titus +7753 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I found this book to be a good read. It appealed to me because of the age of the main character. Not many books are written with this age in mind. It was exciting right up to the end. +Isaac Starling, an old family friend, self-sufficient, independent, and stoic, embodies the spirit of the pioneers who settled that area over two hundred years ago. +6250 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have been inexplicably unable to put this book away since I started reading it. Can't wait to read the Balance of Power Trilogy. I love dragons. +208 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 In this novel, Kevin Baker transports the reader to the New York of 1910. Baker weaves several plot lines together to create a complex tapestry depicting life in that era. + + +7323 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love this book! I'm not even halfway thru it, and I'm ready to buy the rest of the series. It's not "hard" sci fi, but it does have a lot of well researched mathematics in it, enough to keep a hard sci fi fan happy. To a previous reviewer who commented about global warming being real and the U.S. being the bad guy, I didn't get that at all from the book. Yes, it was mentioned that global warming turned out to be real, and that the U.S. had to spend lots of money to get it under control, but I don't think the author was preaching on either subject. It was simply a (very small) part of the storyline. In fact, so far, it has been mentioned only once. I recommend this book to any sci fi fan! +961 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved these stories as a kit. Still love them now. These now are the stupid ten additional required words. Jelllo +But make no mistake that it's all kinds of erotic when these two people get together. There is this scene with a thin vine, berries and mint leaves that reaffirms that kink is not a 21st century invention. Wow! +My copy of Secrets of Six-Figure Women is dog-eared, underlined, written in the margins and covered with sticky notes. I've used it in the question and answer portion of my seminars and have recommended it as a group read for leaders. Let me ask you: Are you earning and saving for the lifestyle you want to be consistently living and enjoying? + + + +1211 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I discovered Jennifer Crusie 'late' and really enjoy her books. As these are backlist books its a bit of a trip down a nineties memory lane (where they have to use pay phones to make calls and use newspaper clippings for research!). That said the plots are great, you want to believe in the characters and the romance is spot on. + +8092 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 R.G. Alexander has got a great imagination! +6443 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Short and loved it. Wanted more. +3094 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 No matter what you do in life, HOW TO WOW has something for everyone. It is not possible to go through life and try and succeed at whatever you are doing without some form of direction or even thought of the journey you are about to take. Regardless of your job or task, Frances Cole Jones outlines how you can make the most of every day, every experience and reap the rewards for being prepared. +Overall a very well done addition to this series. Wraps up the story arc that started in The Burning Bridge nicely. Our characters see a lot of growth and take on responsibility and Halt is in the story a lot, so that is awesome! The characters are likable, the story engaging. If you have liked previous books you will like this one too. I am still finding these to be a little too predictable and not as creative as I would like. Still they are quick, fun reads. I plan on continuing to read the series for now. If you like this series I would recommend The Emerald Atlas (Books of Beginning) by John Stephens and A World Without Heroes (Beyonders) by Brandon Mull. +Making the choice to participate would be slow and full of trepidation. It would have to have some intensely satisfying moments that made it irresistible when your sense of dread reared its ugly head. Janine walked through all of that with the help of Del. +233 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Early on, in Lisa Scottoline's gripping "Mistaken Identity", attorney Bennie Rosato reminds her associates that a defense lawyer doesn't seek justice. Justice is secondary to, if not in conflict with, loyalty to the client. As the novel progresses, however, Bennie finds her own advice hard to swallow because the client, who may or may not be her identical twin that she never knew existed, is a devious and dangerous woman, accused of murdering a policeman. Later in the book, one of Bennie's legal associates, takes boxing lessons. The advice given to her by her trainer is that if you punish the body long enough, the head will fall. This advice goes further than anyone involved in the case would have imagined. Punishing the prosecutor's case, and dogged investigation, would bring justice while maintaining loyalty--to a degree. To me, these were the central points of this tense and intense novel. +9530 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 first rate!! + +ARC from the author for an honest review. + + +There's so much more going on in this story than is possible to provide in brief blurbs. J.L. Langley has written a story that overflows with love and caring and the compromises that are required in building a lasting relationship. There's action, suspense, hot sex, humor, and a fabulous happily-ever-after that will have you searching out more stories by this author. +Nice read + +The characters were real. They felt like my neighbors. In addition to being a good story, i loved using the "objects" as clues. +Then they reach a small town and take rooms in an inn.

She is just about to leave the party of bordom not being drawn to any one at the party. Till the birthday man begins to seduce her. There is definate chemistry between the two and she agrees to spend the weekend with him as her Master. Mildly BDSM but well worth reading. I sort of get the feeling that there may be more between Anthonly and Jane than the one night stand she was seeking. +6731 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I love Gena but didn't love this story. The whole curse thing never really got explained well or how it was broken. That or I was yawning when it happened. I'll stick to her Lords from now on I think. + +The Flaws: While the stories are fun this book could very well be considered a filler by most standards of fantasy series. The plot does not really advance in that there is still no resolution to the crisis that had started with The Burning Bridge. Its more of a setup for the fourth volume in the series. The character development is really what pulls the book through but the story is lacking somewhat. + +4271 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I bought this childrens classic to read with my boy, and he loves it, but what really surprised me was the beauty and grace of the quieter, nature poems that I had found so boring as a kid. I still love my childhood favourites which I remember by the lines rather than their titles (e.g. Halfway up the stairs, James James, Morrison Morrison, Lines and Squares, I do like a little bit of butter to my bread, they hadnt got a rabbit, not anywhere there, Theyre changing guard at Buckingham Palace, 'hush, hush, whisper who dares' etc ). +6. For fans of manage... Marie Harte's Rachel's Totem - lighter, less developed para-erotica featuring a variety of shifters in a quirky little town.

However, the rest of the story fell short and wasn't worth my time. Both characters lacked likability or chemistry. The story was not romantic and didn't work for me. I don't see these two as compatible. +9747 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved it +6881 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great story, great characters, wonderful writing!

It required the purchase of a "pig box" and a hundred-pound dressed pig, and the help of his daughters, son-in-law and myriad local characters.

It has outstanding qualities. The characters are wonderful and surprising and multi-dimensional. The writing is luring, engaging, and well-crafted enough to keep me interested from cover to cover and beyond. The plot is astonishing with twists and turns weaved into a well thought and planned story. Theres no pretense and romance was well balanced and done entirely correctly with properly distributed amounts of hints, behaviors and incredible, undeniable chemistry. Predictability is at an all-time low. With the exception of series based books that follow the same path but are just as good. Overall, Favorite, must read again, recommend!!! +Scott has certainly grown up right, now running his own business and enjoying life almost to the fullest. The only thing missing in his life is love. Sure, his looks pave the way for him with most women, but many regard him as nothing more than a curious fling due to his blindness. Tara is one of the few women that treats him just like any other man, which he most certainly is. Despite his disability, Scott is more than capable of taking care of both himself and the woman he loves. +Living Dead Alice +Amanda and Nate are as close as best friends can be while growing up in a world of vampire/human existence. When, as a teenager Amanda is sent away to a European school for several years (to keep the nearly inseperable duo apart thru puberty) they continue their friendship thru e-mail and phone. At her arrival home to Nathaniels family New Years party-she professes her love with a kiss ---only to be mis-understood by Nathaniel and dejected in front of the vampire public-she quickly loses his "protection" from the other vampires. She has no choice but to enlist in his brother vampire Leo's agent operative to infiltrate the Society for Preservation of Humanity or SPH _an agency determined to rid the earth of vampires. She is undercover for 6 years (without any communication with Nathaniel) when his captured ----broken &-barely alive body is brought into her lab. When Leo won't do anything to rescue his brother Amanda sets aside her hurt and vengefull feelings to rescue Nate. Even if it means her own life if forfeit. +This is a must-read book for anyone whose looking for a little basic financial information and a whole lot of courage to finally put away the ostrich suit. + +After getting fed up with his ex Livia chasing him all around town, Emma is a breath of fresh air with a delightful sense of humor and oh, yeah, there is just one little thing... she's also his Mate. Max is the Alpha Were-Puma of the local Pride. He breaks it to her quite soon and she takes it with surprising aplomb before he takes her home and promptly divests her of her virginity. Add in best friends who love each other, but won't admit it, ex's who won't give up, and a masquerade where Emma must prove her power as the Curana before the Pride or forever be looked down upon and you have delightful romp of a romance that is just plain fun to read. + +8152 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A GREAT first read of the "Fiction" of the early century. Dated but fun to read. +3224 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I very much enjoyed the individual books in the book of words and this collection is a great price at which to review the works. Fun and different. +This story follows the adventure of the time travelers as the explore the past and attempt to get back home. + +1165 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As a retired nurse, it is always interesting to read what was "knowledge" in the former years. Interesting and enlightening! +2342 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 If you like Gore there are splashes. If you like to think of reasons for Stonehenge this is as good as it gets. Could use a bit of sex. Night time read. +2246 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A book written years ago that the author of "The Secret" found and repackaged into the book and video...quite simple and interesting...more importantly, it shows me if you are clever and articulate, you can revamp old stuff and market it into new stuff and make millions...I agree life is vibrations and am truly amazed how Rhonda took this book and changed just some words, got modern day new agers and authors to comment and the rest is history...I wish I could have been so smart...so simple, yet so ingenious.... +4969 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 You need not be a fan of daytime soap operas to enjoy Boob Tube. I haven't watched a soap in 45 years. Nor am I a fan of Hollywood celebrity stories. But Boob Tube breaks the mold; part mystery, part romance, all well researched, lots of interesting characters, a real nail biter as you approach the end of the book, and a very twisted but satisfactory conclusion. And the price is right! + +The world was confusing at Tim's, simply from the fact that there were apparent vast differences in time between. +642 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love this series I could not put this book down all of Lynsay Sand books awesome you will love them. +5312 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 If every American listened to Dave Ramsey and took this stuff to heart, we would not be in the economic mess we are in. This is a great basic book on how to be smart with your money. It's more directed at people with debt problems but is also motivating for those that are already on the right track. If you are struggling financially--buy this book used and then soak up the principles. Another great companion book to this one is "Get Clark Smart" by Clark Howard. +929 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Grimm's fairy tales are known worldwide for a reason. They are the best of the best. If you've never read them, you are truly sheltered and missing out on some of the best fiction ever. + +Not the case at all. I was thoroughly engrossed in the book from the very beginning. The premise, though fiction, is frighteningly plausible. +4954 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Acceptable. +The story isn't the fastest moving and it's a story about people rather than events. Doyle's comic touch livens things up nicely and I found myself laughing out loud often when reading it. There's a melancholy to it but this seems to blend nicely with the humour. A tale ultimately about a friendship between men that was a fantastic read. My one criticism is that the ending petered out a little and could have been better developed. + +6082 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The first book in the Blurred Trilogy and part of The Demon Age series is set in the future after a demon apocalypse and is full of suspense, action, vampires, demons and romance. + + + +5919 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Alpha & Omega is the prequel to Cry Wolf of the Alpha & Omega series by Patricia Briggs. It was originally written as a short story in On the Prowl along with three other short stories. +2424 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good Story +612 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This series has been a long time coming for me to read. It's a very different take on your typical vampire romance. This book was a little slow initially and a bit far fetched. I'm not disappointed, just find it very different from what I'm used to. Also, if these vampires are as powerful with mind control, I see why there should be any reason one would have to leave their family because of aging. They should be able to mentally control humans thoughts to perceive age, change, etc. I may have just done things a bit differently with the overall story. + +9404 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 good read I love that the characters are well developed with chemistry to die for. +Lissianna has a problem & it's that she faints at the sight of blood. That's a bad thing for her as she's a vampire. So, her mother decides to kidnap a doctor to help her with her problem. + +The author could have taken a better tact in concluding the story. The author writes, We still revel in Wild West literature, but there is little of the wild left in the West of to-day, little of the old lawlessness. There was still plenty left of the wild, but American society just decided that desperadoes would not be tolerated anymore. The posses to catch desperadoes were relentless. Such a scene was described in the movie, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, where the two outlaws hope that they have finally broken free of the chase, only to hear the pounding of hoofs in the background. + +Much of the story unfolds as Walt's internal dialog. This works well in audio book format. Walt rambles from the present, to supporting detail, to connected memories from the past. The dialog loops back to the main narrative often enough to tie things together. The effect is like watching a picture emerge as a pencil is moved rapidly back and forth on a paper that covers a carved pattern. The eye first tries to follow the pencil, then loses awareness of it and watches the emergence of the picture. It is a skillfully-achieved effect. Good writing. +7123 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 this is a well written book and has a great plot. it kept my interest the whole while i was reading this book. +No spoilers but going along with the authors theme of breaking cliches, the expected romantic angle near the end does not play out and the book as well as the series is much better off for it. +Bottom line: + +8197 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 HEHEHE this book for me was crazy but in a good way intense. I loved it great read +9113 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One of my favorite authors has again given me a good read. Long lost loves reunite but, guilt keeps her from being happy until she discovers the truth. But will he accept her a third time? I highly recommend this novel as the twists, turns and steamy love scenes will peak all your interests. This is a page turner. Would love to see a sequel......Come on Beth and give us another! + + + +4091 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Confusing in the beginning but it all comes together in the end. Entertaining. Good use of language; no editing errors, typos or misspellings. +758 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I purchased this issue of the Boston Globe because other newspapers were more expensive. I found that the writing and coverage were of high quality and at a good price. I will buy future issues of this newspaper, for sure. + +People who haven't tried the series really don't know what they're missing. McCullough has true world-building skills, a great sense of Greek mythology, and the eye of a thriller writer. The blend of technology and magic is absolutely amazing, and I'm surprised no one has thought to do it quite like this before. +6267 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I usually don't pick up a book & become hooked on it. I read the book last Saturday night. Awesome! +And I loved those last few lines. A truly wonderful holiday read. Highly recommended. +Now I DO consider myself to be Omnireligious-- I go to many different houses of worship (Christian and non-Christian) and I have personally found much wisdom and inspiration in the underlying Truths of these religions -- Truths which have also enabled me to see a "double wisdom" in many of Jesus' sayings. +What's interesting about the characterization is the question of how we can feel such sorrow for Alice, yet none for Ray. Ray was abused and grew up to be an abuser. Alice is abused and planning to help Ray abuse another, even participate in the abuse. Yet, Alice still evokes sympathy in the reader, but there is none left over for Ray. +Loved seeing Keil, Robyn and TJ oh I can't wait for his story. + +Very good story. Fiesta women and protective men. + +The cover is okay and shows the characters, but it doesnt grab my attention. You definitely don't want to judge this book by its cover. +8761 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Only In My Dreams is the fifth book in Dana Marie Bell's Halle Puma series. Though this is the first book in the series that I've read, I was able to follow most of the characters and relationships without too much difficulty, with the few secondary plot situations that remained a mystery to me detracting very little from Gabe and Sarah's story. + +5671 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I did like this book and was happy to finally get Kadan's story. But I will agree with some of the other reviewrs, there was A LOT of sex. All the time. And sometimes, when every few pages they're tearing clothes off, it loses some of it's appeal. And yes, there were times I skimmed over it, because really, it just didn't add to teh story. Sometimes I think the buildup is better then the actual act. Here it was a look, then BAM, doin' it. +Jerrid Edgington + + +4841 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Unbroken Hearts is a fast-paced romance in a western setting. +So when I tell you this book caused me to cry, it surely carries some weight. +9719 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Well written mystery set after WWI. Good character development, good story line. The quick end came as a bit of a surprise.

In this story Steven is investigating a horrific serial murder at the same time trying to balance being a father. Of course nothing is so easy and his oldest son as been acting out and not doing well in school. Enter Jenna Marshall, Brad's science teacher. She is concerned that Brad is not perfoming as he should and makes an appointment to meet with Steven. From the minute that crash into each other literally their lives are about to be tangled together and nothing will be the same. Now not only does Steven have to worry about a serial killer that keeps getting more evil each time he kills, it looks like this killer might just have Jenna in his sights. Can he protect the one woman that he has begun to care about and still catch a killer before he kills again? +When Alice was ten, Ray took her away from her family, her friends--her life.

A good space adventure tale that held my interest. + +Which is why, I would recommend everyone to check out this book.

Either way, it's a win-win. + + + +*****Update***** +523 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This is the last of 12 books in a loosely related series that's split into 4 trilogies. A couple of the books were OK, but I'd recommend skipping most of them. This one had a pretty boring plot with a mediocre romance. Mostly, I just didn't like Nora much, and I despised Quin. I actually wanted her to get killed. She was a selfish, spoiled brat. I hope the Lucy Kincaid series is better, but I don't hold out much hope. +2174 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 London, 1817 +1625 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good read +Good job. +4 to 4 1/2 Stars +4766 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Lacey Vaughn was unlucky in love. None of her relationships ever work out, and now she had caught her latest boyfriend Evan cheating in the shower with her friend Christy. She didn't understand what she was doing wrong, but could only determine she must be doing something wrong in bed, and that was why she kept having relationship problems. Her best friend, Nick Stone thought that was laughable. He had never been intimate with Lacey, but had been in love with her for a long time, and knew she wouldn't be a terrible bed partner. He was just glad she was finally free so he could show her how good they would be together. +368 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A really good read. This book really brings home some of the stuff we see going on right now if only we will open our eyes. +Back in Araluen, Halt is increasingly frustrated by King Duncan's refusal to allow him to pursue the Skandians and rescue Will. He made a promise to recover his apprentice and he means to keep that promise, even if doing so means defying his King and forsaking his vow as a Ranger. Shamed, stripped of his place in the Ranger Corps and banished from the Kingdom of Araluen, Halt sets out to rescue Will, but he is not alone. Will's best friend and former wardmate, Horace is an apprentice warrior with a natural gift for swordplay. He joins Halt on the journey and stands beside him as they cross the treacherous Gallican countryside. +7499 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 NO SPOILERS or plot summaries.

She returned home, avoiding media, to regroup herself. Her father, Gerard Vatta of Vatta Transport, decided Ky needed to go away until the media circus calmed down a bit. So she was sent as captain to take an old space craft on its last journey, to Belinta first and then to the scrap yard. She had a very small crew, but they were all veterans of space. +At times this book can be shockingly honest but it is never frightening as I thought it might be. Elyn R. Saks always seems to have protections in place so when she falls gravely ill she has a support system and friends to help her. +7846 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I learned that gay guys don't smoke weed. +While there is a lot of test about eating fats, the traditional last third of the book giving recipes stresses ingredients such as fat free margarine, cheese, and whipped topping ' and using 'sugar free gelatin (full of wholesome sugar substitute we were warned about earlier, and artificial color and flavor) while we are told people who eat more dairy have less insulin resistance, but are these people eating dairy altered to remove fat ? +At one point the narrator says that all big families are the same. Enright has made the Hegartys (she has a dozen ways to desribe the blue of their eyes) symbolic of every large family: those the parents favored, those they didn't, the messers (Liam), the drunks, the most successful, the religious one, the mysterious one, the brightest. This family calls to mind another large family in Thomas Wolfe's 1939 novel LOOK HOMEWARD ANGEL. The narrative, as the Queen would say in Alan Bennett's recent novel THE UNCOMMON READER, does not progress as the crow flies but rather meanders in and out among three generations of this crazed and in some ways doomed family. +Erak is a Skandian Jarl and captain of the raider ship Wolfwind. He and his crew have escaped from the battle of the Plains and are heading home. He is also taking Will and Evanlyn with him to be sold as slaves. +Due to her father's involvement with drugs, mobsters and shooting someone, Jennifer and her family were always on the move. They live in California, Florida, and New York. Even with all of the things Jennifer's father did, he was still a good father to Jennifer and her mother.

Not my favorite and I caught myself rolling my eyes quite a few times. +If you haven't read the other titles in this series, I'd highly recommend doing so - not because it's necessary to understand this book but because they're delightfully fun. In order, they are: + Her whole life she has dreamed of living in England and meeting a man similar to John Cleese.

He did not seem to have any luck in any aspect of his life, except for money, Money is nice to have, but does not make up for all the terrible things poor Collie had to endure. His attempts to redeem himself through hard work and helping others were not enough to save him from more terrible tragedies. +4471 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 2.5 stars I felt that this novel was okay. After reading the novels synopsis, I expected more emotions and more energy to occur within its pages but after reading it, I felt that the novel had more of an even tone and I have mixed feeling about this. I understand how the main character felt after being held all those years being locked in her current condition but things were changing, I thought that would change her too. +8418 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 At the beginning it seemed like this story would be about Missy and her flight for freedom, but really I think this story was more about Tad and his acceptance and initiation into pack life and politics. +This is the only point in the story where I have to stop and consider if something like that would conceivably really happen. Naturally, we are talking about time travel so some suspension of disbelief is necessary no matter what. But strangely I find this "selling one's face for money" scheme the hardest to believe. I don't care how down on her luck someone is. Or how much some ugly woman would like to have someone else's face. I have actually been through an organ transplant myself a few years back and there isn't enough money that would make me want to repeat the experience.

That may well happen by the end of this book - but even if it does, the eternal battle against the forces of evil goes on, and on, and on. And that is a good thing, it must be said.

She has feelings for them right away, and she begins the agreed duties of cooking their meals. Their relationship moves fast, but it's great. I loved the way she was with Shayne, and how she handled the situation after the attack. I was so tuned into the erotic sex scenes, I was surprised at myself. I got the other books in this series also. That shows how much I liked them. But these characters were terrific to me. Enjoy! +1235 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Yunior, the on-again/off-again boyfriend of Lola de Leon, is the narrator of this novel about a Dominican-American family in New Jersey. The main character is Oscar (Lolas little brother), the grossly obese king of the nerds, who is forever relegated to the friend zone. The familys story is slowly unfolded through a series of flashbacks and we learn that Oscar and Lolas grandparents were murdered in the Dominican Republic by Trujillos brutal regime, their mother was orphaned and subject to unbelievable abuse before being rescued by a cousin, and ultimately sent to safety in America. The past keeps repeating itself, and the members of this little Dominican family seem doomed by a curse. +7173 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 ...otherwise you won't be able to take this 'book' seriously. +596 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I happen to love Jane Austen's novels but even if you don't, give this book a try. It focuses on a 38 year old woman aptly named Jane Fortune, a female who has become rather set in her ways, losing hope of ever finding love, let alone true happiness. Her life is rather lackluster. How and why will she change? Or will she? That is the main issue but the various subplots are what make this book a special treat. Horowitz throws in little gems of insight, much as Austen did. This book will make you think about society's conventions - or perhaps make you wonder about the loss of them. +4566 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I absolutely love this series! Dakota has a way with her words and descriptions! Each character has their own little thing you love about them. If you're looking for a book that is "laugh out loud" hilarious, this series is it!

Certainly others will enjoy it, but it just wasn't for me. +Cinderella +9491 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 With this last book, G.A. Hauser pushed a bit the boundaries between romance and erotica, and also between reality and fantasy. Her characters are actually behaving badly, walking even more on the border, edging on the verge of a nervous breakdown; if before her characters were "bad" and too emotional, in this last book they reach the final step, they go all crazy, but it's a craziness for love, and so, again, I can forgive them. I actually don't read a G.A. Hauser to have a true and accurate book on gay life, I read one of her books for the glitter of the show business, for the hotness of cops in uniform, for reading of a man that is unsteady and emotional like and more than a woman, who makes mistake, and cries, and in all his craziness, can admit that he is a wrench, but his man loves him all the same, or maybe right for that reason. +8315 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The is yet another Elizabeth Lennox favorite of mine. The characters are royalty but very real and likable. I love how they are each in search of the elusive love of their lives but are so steeped in tradition and their obligations that they almost miss out on a lifetime together. The story is romantic and a easy and fun read. +3121 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've been following the eating plan outlined in this book for 2 months now- and I'm down 18 pounds!

But it's about reporters and politicians! How much better can you get? KILL THE STORY is a keeper! + +Fearful of discovery, vampires no longer feed "off the hoof" but instead use blood banks to survive. Lissianna however is hemophobic which means she needs to either be fed blood intravenously or find victims she can feed off directly. Lissianna tries to combine her interest in social work with finding food and so works at a local shelter. She is affected by the blood she drinks so consuming the blood of a drunk or ill person affects her negatively. While the interactions between Lissianna and Greg were fun, they were not really deep and meaningful. I thought that Greg was far too calm and rational when he found out that vampires were real and got on the `vampires are cool' bandwagon way too fast. For a psychologist he is fairly shallow - when he's tied to a bed in a strange house with a bladder that is about to burst he thinks that it would be great to be a sex slave for someone like Lissianna. Come on. Despite this, I loved the fact that life mates were unable to read each other's minds or control each other.

Some of it was interesting to read, but I was a little put off by. I know there was a subtle element of religion in the original P&P, but the story, Assumed Engagement, hits you over the head with it. Many pages were taken up by sermons that were unnecessary to the story continuity. The other part of the book that was strange was Darcy's pressing need to build a school for the deaf. That kind of comes out of the blue and seemed like it was tacked on from another story. There are better sequels/continuations out there. +3849 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this read. It was a quick book with a good story and some great sex scenes. I would recommend it. +1690 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great little summaries of historical discoveries around the world.

All four brothers have great qualities about them and some flaws. At times in any of the stories things became predictable. Also it seemed like every brother fell instantly in love with the woman in their story. There wasn't a lot of leading up to them realizing they had feelings, it happened right away every time. But in the end, you can't help but fall in love with each of them. +5445 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have had this series in my kindle for awhile and finally decided to give it a read.

I loved learning about the lead characters and the eventual happy endings. Very entertaining. +7892 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was happy to have a full length Markhat novel at last. This character is too much fun to be satisfied with short stories. This novel was twisty and mysterious as always, and while the Corpsetaker was a bit grim, the gore was not overwhelming as it can be in some books. Further character development was nice to see, and I look forward to more of this in the future. Another great read from Mr. Tuttle. +7617 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Well written....very descriptive.

We all do. I was almost in tears listening to the book on CD. It was actually better listening to the unabridged version. If you don't like reading, try listening to it on CD. I found listening to be richly rewarding and as effective as reading a novel. +The 1800s provided many great works of political thought; few of which can compare in importance as this short tract by Karl Marx. Along with Das Kapital, this was one of the first major works in human history to link economics with sociology and political institutions, this text has done for economic liberty and equality what the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence has done for political liberty and equality. Written by Marx as part propaganda to invoke change, and part retribution to his enemies; intellectual and otherwise, this book has inspired political movements ever since. +7175 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was a great book.

I read this book out of order, but that did not detract from the book. It is rather short, but it does not feel rushed. This is the first time we are introduced to Max, the Halle puma alpha, and to Emma, his mate. I LOVE Emma. She is great. She meets life head on, the good, the bad, and the ugly. This book did make me want to be a puma! +8838 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 OMG, WTF and all the other short hand language that is used to say no. I truly hate not finishing a book but in this case I'm ok with it. The names are wacky, the language is difficult plus the start of the book is dry. This book was drier than my sister -in-law's turkey and she cooked it for 12 hours (poor bird). If you need something to put you to sleep then this book is just what you need. +5616 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A wonderful follow up to "One Tuesday Morning".

Story is fast paced, characters are well developed. It appears to be well edited compared to many others in this price range. I didn't notice typos or grammer issues. I do have to complain to the author about his calling or describing 60-year old characters as elderly, wrinkled, etc. As an energetic, active 60-year old, every time I saw one of these descriptions, I laughingly harumped and said to myself, this author must be very young to think of 60-year olds in this manner. In all, you get a couple of days of light entertainment for only 99 cents. +This novel has some of the fantastic world-building I expect of Marillier, but lacks the historical detail I would have appreciated. I didn't really feel the space of the castle, or the thickness of the woods, instead it was more about Jena and her character progression. Nothing wrong with that at all, I'm glad she didn't stagnate like Cezar. +"Tonight and Forever" by Brenda Jackson... + + +Im not sick. Im a vampire. Certain things cease to matter when you're a vamp, like the gender of the person in your bed. Or how many people are in it. Its an eye-opener, really.

Eve Duncan's ward, Jane MacGuire, is now at Harvard and is 21 so 4 years have passed since the last book. She is close to Mike who is a ward of Eve's mom. Jane is always helping people out of scrapes and feels particularly responsible for Mike. His roommate calls her that Mike is drunk and morose at a bar. Jane goes to get him and take him home but on the way to the car they are attacked and Mike is shot and killed. + + +So I kept on reading and at the beginning it was not easy for me to get in the swing of things. I am not sure if the reader is told what year the book starts in, but it seems to me it is a not too far future. Maybe even present time.

I recommend this series to readers of all ages. The book has a historical / fantasy feel, but is really timeless, and is filled with excitement, action, and adventure. I highly recommend this book, especially to reluctant readers. I have a feeling they'd find something in this series to love too! +5798 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Love this historical erotic plot.

But the title is misleading. What is being gathered together in this story is not primarily the various members of the Hegarty clan (although most of them make an appearance), but a rag-bag of childhood memories as Veronica struggles to make sense of her own life and Liam's in the context of family history. She makes this clear in the opening sentence: "I would like to write down what happened in my grandmother's house the summer I was eight or nine, but I am not sure if it really did happen." Or sort of clear; her doubts about the past are part of the point. +7210 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Jane Porter has been celibate for a year after being jilted by her master.

Jena is sure that she can keep things together, but with a big sister who won't follow the rules +The novel is more actions and a slow build up to the love scenes and I really enjoyed that part. My problem with this novel is that I was very much wishing that this was just a start to a series and that there were other books because I really want to read more about Wulf's brothers finding their mates. As of yet, I have not found any more in the series but I'm still looking. +8853 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 The first book I read by Heyer was amazing and gave be a great desire to read more...which brought me to this book as my 2nd book by her. +1575 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Now that the mystery of the gold of St. Biel has been solved Gabby and Colm can get on with making babies.

The characters are richly drawn and the disaster of war so real, it is frightening. In The Widow of the South, Hicks recreated a tragedy of American History that should not be forgotten. +366 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 I'd rather not say anything about this awful book. It is diabolical in my opinion, not worth the time to comment. +3069 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Too many named characters with dead ends. Way too much background getting crammed into a short story.

Evanlyn needs to rescue Will and herself if they are to survive. + + +546 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Usually the sequel is worse than the first novel, but that was not the case. I found that I enjoyerd this one more than the previous one, but that doesn't mean Speak No Evil was bad. On the contrary. It was wonderful too! I loved the characters in this novel and I loved the dynamic between the killers. Although I do wish it hadn't ended on such a cliched note. Other than that, great book, great characters, and I would suggest this to anyone who didn't mind a little graphicness. +Markhat is a 'finder', Tuttle-speak for Private Eye. He's also a smart aleck and as entertaining as protaganists get. The book is short, but that's okay, there are three more to read, soon to be four. +Good stuff, five star all the way. Tuttle builds atmosphere, plot and characters in layers--you don't know what will be in the middle: a gotcha, humor or a twist. Markhat, the detective, needs work like any PI, but he tends to get his cases from Mama Hog; a witch down the way. This isn't always the healthiest place to pick up jobs. +8594 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Elizabeth Lennox is an incredible author who writes simple love stories that appeal to me.

I enjoy Charlotte more and more with each book, and will be sad to see the series end. This book, like the other books in the series, moves along at a decent pace and is believable.

Sometimes it's hard to read others there so far to the left. +9 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Most of the New Jedi Order books focus on the Solo kids, to the extent that some are viewed as "Jacen books" or "Jania books." The novella Ylesia is if anything a book starring Thrackan Sal-Solo. Thrackan is forcibly recruited by the Yuuzhan Vong to become president of the Peace Brigade Republic. However, the New Republic forces also choose to attack Ylesia. There's nothing new or terribly exciting in the novel, but it's a nice side story. It's written in a similar style as Destiny's Way (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 14), which isn't surprising as they're both by the same author. This short story actually takes place during the novel, so I'd recommend reading the novel first so Ylesia doesn't spoil any surprises. +What I loved so much about this book was that it explored the MMF menage a trois relationship in a realistic way that made it very believable. I loved how the sex was anything but formulaic... I was surprised by how creative Liz Andrews was in the love scenes. They were HOT and downright mouthwatering! I also enjoyed the character development between all three of them. It felt like such a complete book... so well done! I also want to note that I was really, truly pleased with Stephanie's character... Andrews could have made her extremely annoying or obnoxious but she handled her character well with humor but also with grace. I was really grateful for that. +Also, Christians might consider a Bible study based on Scripture -- "Where your Treasure Is" by Reapsome is a good one. Where Your Treasure Is: What the Bible Says About Money + +I think that The Warden is one of the best novels ever written. I enjoy Trollope's writing style in this book and in all of his novels, the words and phrases he uses. I like the simplicity of the portrayal of the cleric in The Warden, which Trollope did with sympathy and kindness, sprinkled with subtle humor. + +[...] + +She wanted him to find her sexy and she wanted that passionate connection with him but because of the past (when he was two) he withheld that from her. +9206 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It took me a while to get around to this book, but I enjoyed the story. The characters were different and the story flowed pretty well. It got kind of slow in places, but I guess you can attribute that to setting the environment and characters in the story. I will read the next two books in the series that I already own and see if the story remains compelling enough for me to read the remaining books in the series. +Yleisa brings back Thracken Sal-Solo in an entertaining plotline which sees him forcibly installed as the President of the Peace Brigade. This doesn't fit well with Sal-Solo's plans to better his own galactic situation but he displays a knack for adaption and survival not unlike that of his famous cousin Han Solo. Ylesia itself, a major source of the drug spice in the Star Wars galaxy, will be familiar to readers of A. C. Crispin's Han Solo Trilogy, and it's nice to see it return. +9275 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 No wonder Mari Carr is a best selling author. What a great read. Read the book in one sitting and I'll read it again and again! + +Unfortunately, this one just didn't work for me. On the good side, Mitchell's writing, particularly of sex and emotion, is now as fine as it gets. She's hit her stride and she's nothing to learn on that side of things, which is why I've rated this as highly as I have. + + +1777 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Laborious reading in places +Vanessa +Aspect of Crow Trilogy: Eyes of Crow, Voice of Crow and The Reawakened. +Whether due to the limiting nature of the length of the story (it's quite short) or due to my admitted lack of true enchantment with menage relationships (it has to be exceptionally well written menage for me to enjoy it - and I've read them), I found Taken to be rushed and harried at the beginning, and a bit drawn out and tedious towards the end. I saw some promise in Caleb and Van, but wasn't at all fond of Anne through the whole of the story. I'm not really sure why, but she got on my nerves, I'm sorry to say. I thought the strongest parts of the story were from Caleb and Van's perspectives and unfortunately, most of the story was from Anne's. Still, points for originality of idea. I'm still a fan of Bast. + +6350 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Three books in this SISTER SERIES and have read all three.....wish there were three more! You'll fall in love with all the characters, particularly the sisters.....all totally different, but all likeable. +Once again, the story is engaging, and a wonderfully woven tapestry of dreams and desires.

They are all well written. She has published 3 other books (Bloom, Perfect You, and Stealing Heaven) in a little over a year, which is incredible. Living Dead Girl is a wonderful tale. It is not a safe world, sadly and there are sickos like Ray out there. I like how the book is honest and doesn't sugarcoat it. This book was really direct and though it was short it did leave me satisfied. I don't understand why it was a hardcover, when it was under 200 pages. I also love the strength that she gave to her heroine. I am going to shut up, because I'll keep fangirling her. + + +6071 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I received this book from the author for a honest review. What a great story. The relationship between Marc and Blake is a complicated but interesting and romantic and the addition of their feelings for Kate very intriguing.

I will definitely be reading the rest of this Trilogy. +REINVENTING JANE PORTER is the third book in Dominique Adair's JANE PORTER SERIES.

Not only does she reassure you that YOU can make 6-figures, but she gives examples of others who have and, most importantly HOW they have.

Unfortunately Cassie witnesses their encounter and jumps to the conclusion that they've chosen each other over her. It's been three years since she last saw either of the men and she learns they now live and run a ranch together. Kyle and Alan aren't stupid, they realize that Cassie would never choose one of them over the other so they'd agreed to share her - that had been before she'd run away. Now that she's back it's up to them to convince Cassie that they love her and a relationship between the three of them could work. +317 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Necessary reading if you want to comprehend the mind set and tactics behind the Communist threat.

Or one small snow ball he throws starts to roll down hill Towards him. Away he goes all the time the snowball is growing and growing. Then whummp it hits the take off ramp. sending it towards the sky. +Lisa +And boy oh boy does this book have sharp elbows. It is a bitter little pill of a novel. Just like its main character, it resists sympathy and identification. Enright uses fantasy, disjointed narrative, unpleasant people doing unpleasant things-- pretty much every device that you can imagine to force the reader back outside the text. It makes for such a strange combination because she writes with such lyrical prose and such a delicate hand that you expect to find the book yielding. The contrast is very interesting, but in the end I am not sure how successful The Gathering really is-- largely for that reason. +I don't recommend it, at least to those outside the San Francisco metro area. + + +As for us, the girls chose, very wisely, a Zuchon- a cross between a Bichon Frise and a Shih Tzu from a neighborhood place called "Fuzzy Pups". They had visited there for the last couple years; the owners very much encouraged their visits and in the end, it was a perfect fit for all of us. Best of luck, enjoy you pup! +An excellent beginning for this series. I loved it!! I highly recommend it. The characters are well drawn out--and I was captivated from the moment I started reading. I couldn't put it down. For me the author balances, plot, characterization, and emotion into a tightly written novella. +9571 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was a great read. To truly enjoy it you should read the other 2 novels prior to this one to get the full effect of Jae Sun Kim. +Brandt has been waiting his whole life to finally locate Maggie she is the other half of him, but can he convince her to stay through all the dangers. +3328 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Yeah, I read the other reviews, it made me hesitate to purchase this...but then I thought about it... I have loved all of her books.... how bad could it be??? I enjoyed this very much... well written (as always)... characters that you will love... Another great story.... +There are things that I loved about Wolf Flights, things that I thought were distracting, and things I wish would have been explored in more depth. I wish less time would have been spent on Missy's research group, because I thought it was just a distraction to the story, didn't really add to it, and the author could have spent the time on other aspects of the story I wanted more of. Missy had enough reason to leave her pack because of her evil brother-in-law. The research group was her excuse to leave, but I wish a more simple escape to Tad would have been written instead. +8454 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It was ok. It should use a little more action. It should be have more comedy in it. Thanks for hearing me out + +Bianca has always frowned on the rules but has never been tempted to break them as badly as when she meets a man named Stephen who recognizes her as the run-a-way princess.

Well written, interesting story line and the author was kind enough to keep it to one book, versus a whole series. It felt like watching a movie with a clear beginning, middle and end. Very happy with the book and would recommend it to any person who was interested in post-apacolyptic stories. +2421 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Iris Browning planned to visit her old friend, Sandrine Beck, on the island of Mariposa. It was supposed to be a vacation but now Sandrine is missing and the police aren't overly concerned. Iris meets one man, Maddox Heller, who seems willing to help, although he seems more like a beach bum to her at first. But what happens when Maddox and Iris stumble upon a possible terrorism connection? Maddox has his own dark past; will he be able to forgive himself for what he sees as his past misdeeds? + +8391 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was such a great and fun book!!! Couldn't put it down!!

She was once a girl with a mom and dad who loved her, until the day Ray abducted her during a school field trip. Although they don't live far from her childhood home, Alice has only once made an attempt to escape, and that was right after she was abducted. Ever since then, she's become the emotional/physical/sexual slave that Ray has turned her into, and she does what she's told, when she's told. +2484 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One of my favorite children stories. I bought it as a Christmas gift. +Having had a difficult relationship with my own demanding dad, I easily understood why the author cared so much to win his love and understanding. In the end, she gains acceptance of the man her father was, and of her life without him. + +8394 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Have been reading a lot of books on my Kindle but haven't gotten to this one yet. By reading the review before I ordered this book I believe I will really enjoy reading it when I can. +I like Markhat the finder, a hard-boiled ex-military gumshoe in a fantasy land where trolls, vampires, and other creatures of the night interact with humans. This novella/short story has some great dialog and I truly wish it had been longer. I even paid $2.00 for another Markhat book, The Mister Trophy, hoping for more of the same and while it was equally as good as this book it was also equally as short. If I consider the combined content of both books and consider the $2 I paid for them, I still rate them 5 stars. + + +5140 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As described + + +3764 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 this series is amazing there is no doubt about it!!!

Great book. + +I see a lot of people gave it five stars....I wish I could have....not my kind of book I guess...everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. :) +6178 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a fun and fast read. Yes, there are quite a few predictable elements, but Britain's style is enjoyable, descriptive, and leads you from one page to the next - no dragger here! It reminds me of some of the best fantasy I've read with a Tolkienesqe quality - plenty of behind the scenes history that could be explored with a heroine of some quality. I hope that Ms. Britain is up to the task of doing it. I look forward to a sequel. The typos complained of in the hard cover I did not notice in the paperback. If you're a critic, you'll probably not like this book - it is somewhat formulaic (ie, good does triumph over the bad, and truly new fantasy character types are hard to come up with), and the descriptive overkill that some critics seem to like is absent. I recommend this to any reader over 13; it has some violence, none of the obligatory sex scenes, some romance, and colorful but tasteful dialogue. This is Entertainment! +545 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Allison Brennan is great, I think I have read all of her books now. The trilogies are great. You feel so connected to the characters. Her books catch my interest from page 1 & the suspense/romance keeps me reading. Hard to put the book down. +Marc is a vampire that believes in the long ago made Pacts with the humans. He and his Childe, Blake, fight the demons but Blake does it because he thinks it's fun more than anything else. One night while they were fighting they came across a group of human fighters and decided to join forces with them. Among them was a soldier named Kate to whom both found themselves attracted. I guess it was game on between those two from then on. There's nothing like a little rivalry when vying for a woman's attention. + +8496 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Really enjoyed this one. There was tension but not over the top, characters were interesting and memorable. Great story line, all in all I really love this one. +3237 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Thoroughly engrossing, highly entertaining & very interesting. Unique characters in a unique world. Couldn't put it down. Lots of fascinating bits of information along the way as well. I had forgotten what a good read a Kellerman book is! Looking forward to reading the next one. In the meantime, I will savor this one & you will too. + +2915 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I loved it didn't know what to expect but love the storyline and his crush on her was soooooooooooooooooooo sexy broader line stalker-ish but cute +1820 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I understand that an erotic novel is sometimes just that & that's fine. I'm willing to suspend disbelief with the best but this was just beyond the pale. I would've thought it was a joke save for the sex scenes which though graphic were anything but sexy or even accidentally humorous. The characters seemed to be placed in the plot merely to execute a series of not very imaginative sex positions with no relation at all to their station in life or the time period they are meant to be living in let alone any kind of inner life or even surface life. Skip it! +The hardest thing about finishing a book you love is saying goodbye to the characters. Thankfully, that's not a big issue with Allison Brennan's books because they continue to turn up in future books. It allows you a peek into how their lives keep progressing past their own book. I'm especially happy when member of the Kincaide family pop up as well as Hans Vigo, the FBI profiler. I'm really hoping he gets his own book soon with his true love story. He may be older but love knows no age, right? Speaking of age, I'm also happy that the main characters in these books are not all 22 but in their 30's and 40's. + + +When Beckett decides Christiana must move back inside the castle walls she reluctantly agrees. Then Beckett takes her to his bed and masters her with his touch. Times are turbulent, though, and an evil nobleman is taking estates in an effort to undermine the King. A masked man known as the Blacksmith fights back. + The more you read Chandler the more you will enjoy his mastery of the English language as it is spoken in the United States. Chandler makes ample use of metaphors, similies, slang and tough guy argot. Read him and relish the genius of the City of Angels chronicler of crime! + +9318 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Although the download of the Kindle Bible for does not come pre-indexed, the first time or two that you open the file the Kindle will index it. I purchased the Kindle Bible to use with the Kindle app on my iPhone, and have found that it works well on that device. As pointed out by other reviewers, the instructions that Amazon provides at the beginning of the Bible's text will walk you through the searching process, and they are a (short) must-read. This is a fully workable translation of the Old and New Testaments and the searching feature works very well, provided that you follow the instructions. What you do not receive for the exceptionally low price of this download are the detailed explanations and annotations that make publications such as The New Oxford Annotated Bible what they are. However, as an easily accessible, very low-cost Bible that's available instantly on your Kindle or iPhone, Amazon.com's Kindle Bible is highly recommended. + + +6542 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 If the plot were less interesting this would be a one star review. It's a shame that a good idea was ruined by really bad writing. The author apparently doesn't have the faintest idea what commas are for, because they are used when they shouldn't be and are unfortunately lacking where they should be. Lack of commas results in run-on sentences that defy translation. Errors like "could of" instead of "could've" or "could have" are frequent, and the writing style is amateurish and annoying. +But I'd do the same for my man. + +of others like them who make the choice to live around the globe +When her friends drag her out for her thirtieth birthday, she has no idea they are going to Sneak Peek, an exclusive sex club. And she certainly wasn't prepared to meet a man like Del, who seems to see inside her darkest fantasies, but has no regard for reputation, at least not his own. But once she has a taste of what Del offers, she can't stay away, and soon she finds herself exploring the boundaries of exhibitionism with Del in ways she never before imagined. +9889 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Simon Worrall's short book, Copulating Cats and Holy Men: The Creation of The Book of Kells, is written in marvellous style. It is eccentric and fun, true to the spirit and animals of the original manuscript. The author says it might as accurately be called "The Book of Cats". The reader is caught up in awe, passion, factual details, history, perspective and appreciation of "the greatest relic of Western civilization". I learned a lot and enjoyed each of Worrall's words, except for one regrettable spelling error. He predicts the swirling lines and characters of Celtic calligraphy and iconography may replace the straight lines of infrastructures and roads of our society's Roman tradition. That is if we follow the holy men's dreams of peace, love and heaven. +4284 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I pre-ordered this book and really was looking forward to it. However, it appears to be written for "women only". My husband and teenaged son eat heartier meals than anything in this book provides for. BTW, the brownies are awful. Just as another reader says, all I can taste is the pumpkin. They don't even smell good when cooking, unless you like pumpkin pie! I think I'll just stick with the exercise classes! +8726 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I will not review the novel's main theme as this has been presented in the detailed product description. Coombe's Woods holds more than the darkness, and there is a reason why. Izzy's unique approach to getting rid of George, leaves a smile on your face. This novel is fun to read. There is action, danger, and, of course, romance. The romance with her neighbor gives this book a little spice. Get comfortable and read this! It is one of the better romantic suspense novels I have read lately, especially with the paranormal twist it has. Highly recommended! +8972 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this one. It was just a quick read that gets you flustered. The story, while kind of unbelievable was still very entertaining. + +The language was good and the stories were good, but I have a few minor issues with the book. First, the end-notes aren't linked. They are marked, and if you'd like to slow your reading to a crawl you can use the search function to locate them, but they aren't active links, which can be frustrating. There's also no active Table of Contents, which I know bothers some people. +UNIVERSE SPOILERS: + +252 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Good +For the record, the twelve Caesars, about whom Suetonius writes, are: +Denial +8013 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Project exorcism was an attempt to rid earth of supernatural creatures.when several of the ships crashed life was changed for many. + +The world-building is unique and imaginative.

Destiny is one of those gals that over thinks everything and would have a hard time getting past it if it weren't for Reece. Destiny was well-rounded not only was she smart she was also courageous and that made for an excellent read. +I could spend hours a day with my Kindle just reading this newspaper. At a little more than a quarter a day, who could ask for more? (Well, photos, yeah.) +5357 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It's always nice when you can get a modern twist to an old fashioned fairy tale. The writer comes through firing on all cylinders. This was one sexy explosive romance and it doesn't let up. I only wish we could have gotten a peak at them in the future to see what the life was like. Overall a well done story and very entertaining! +7831 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 How far would you dare to goto win it all? +- But it would help your lover in his difficult quest to win you if you believed in him and actually stayed alive & strong for him so that he can come for you at the end ...

I begrudgingly held back a star because theatre are quite a few mistakes throughout the book that, in spite of the story's pull, were very distracting. If not for those, it would have been a solid 5 stars! +It's not only that he explores the vast reaches of the English vocabulary but that every description or action is conveyed in a highly disciplined prose and laser-precise diction. Wisehart loves words and the reader revels in the language that compels one to follow William of Ockham, Giovanni Boccaccio, Nadja and Marco da Roma, the last Knight Templar into the bowels of Hell and the fate that awaits them there. The history -- Ockham, Boccaccio, Petrarch are all real historical figures along with assorted churchmen who appear -- and the fantasy are rendered with equal authority. +My Take +Madison is trying to find her mom in Montana who ran off with +PsyCop 2 - Criss Cross +4.) No graphic sex (note the protagonist, "has occasional sexual encounters, just not with another human being."); +Can't wait to find out what happens next in Yours, Mine, and Howls. + +1052 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The The New York Times is considered one of the ntion's finest papers, although some have stated that its leftist bias negates any value in the paper. However, a bigger problem with the paper is its size and cost. +Despite Veronica's problems and Liam's, this history of the Hegarty family is a counterpoint to the success story of Ireland during the past decades, as it has emerged from its backwater to become one of the leading engines of the new Europe. Veronica, who grew up sharing a bedroom with at least two other siblings, can now drive to an airport on a whim, present a credit card, and consider a flight halfway around the world. Anne Enright shares Penelope Lively's feeling for changing eras (as shown in MOON TIGER or CONSEQUENCES), and equals her ability to take a relatively common story and render it far from ordinary through writing that pulses with life. And her technique of using chilhood memories to reflect a whole family history reminds me of Kate Atkinson's marvelous BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE MUSEUM, my touchstone for such books. But Enright's style is very much her own, and her people are well worth knowing for their own sake. Meet them. + +So much is wrong with this book, yet I stayed with it until the end. Even though the dialogue was off and the author didn't convince me the time period was 1835 London, I loved the characters and the mystery behind them. It was a painful page-turner, because some of those passages were painful to read. Yet, I couldn't stop if I wanted to. +That's why I like this book a lot -- it's a really good mix of writing ingredients, from a compelling story that you want to come out a certain way, to really good characterizations of people easy to like, with plenty of suspense and humor thrown in to really entertain throughout. I was also pleased that some of the lapses into very implausible action (lawyers tailing criminal's cars, or fighting against their own clients) that characterized some of the earlier works in this series was finally absent from the book at hand. Lastly, I keep hearing (I guess from the publisher's blurbs) that Lisa's books are being used for classroom debate, and I suspect this one will as well, if the legal "mores" angle interests you. +The pacing is a bit slow as far as the action goes, its clear Moon is more interested in character development and starting the building of her world here than anything else. I was never precisely bored, but there are stretches that are less action packed than others. I also suspect that there might have been a larger book here that Moon decided to trim. Some subplots and ideas are mentioned and dropped in, but not fully explored. This may be a case of Chekov's Law, as applied to subsequent novels. +It is also unforgettable because it is a textbook example of how fragile and tenuous the moral fabric of our society can be. It shows for instance how "tolerated" inner city corruption can be "gamed" and "played" by two determined brothers and then used to take over the rest of a large urban city. Whitey Bulger became an FBI informant at an early stage of his criminal career, but then quickly realized that his FBI handlers were equally vulnerable to the same kind of immorality they expected and extracted from him as their "resident stooge." And just as they had captured and "turned him," he slowly reeled them in and "turned them in reverse." And they became "the bigger fish" without ever realizing what had happened to them. This small "reverse advantage," greatly assisted by strategic murders, FBI and police corruption, was soon parlayed into a incestuously corrupt web in which Whitey's informants, his FBI handlers, were "running interference" for the Boston crime wave engineered by Whitey himself. +7888 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book offers a unique combination of fantasy and detective novel. The main character is likable, and the pacing and narrative voice are handled well. My only complaints are the rather hasty and abrupt development of the romantic relationship, and the overblown descriptions during the "corpsemaster" elements of the story. Other than that, I found this to be enjoyable, and I look forward to reading more books in this series. + +1160 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good Catholic version. +3262 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Enjoyable reading, Held my interest, a great who done it.

I have read and re-read her books for years. This book was okay but just did not run together like her other stories. The characters and story line were good but the book seemed rushed. She spent more time on the relationship between the main male character and the guards then the heroine. I just didn't feel the relationship was as well developed as her other books. But overall I enjoyed this book. +The flow of his book was awesome. You stayed on the edge of your sit waiting to find out what happened. Their were many errors thru out the book.

I appreciate good editing. But why does a 26 year old woman have a guardian? Is it because she's not very bright? So I finished the first book, read the introduction to the second, and then called it quits. Just because the author writes that the heroine is intelligent doesn't mean that's so, particularly when the author has said heroine doing some stupid things. +8262 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 His convenient husband reads almost like a harlequin story which i am a fan of. The love story sucks you in and the characters are well developed. Its kind of hard to believe it was not written for harlequin romance. If they ever started a gay section i would be first in line to buy. You will not be dissapointed J.L. Langley is a great writer of gay romance if you have ever read any of her books you will know this one is just as great. +The prose is incredulously lyrical, rich, and refined - so much more compressed and yet detailed any prose in most contemporary fiction. Banville is one of the few living author who can maintain the flow of a novel with a taut sense while flourishing different themes as well as exploring and exposing, delineating the intricacies of human emotions. The book leaves us in awe of the marvelous silence with which human tolerate lies. Once again Banville has epitomized literary fiction with a twisting intrigue, which is unfortunately exiguous in the market now. +Lots of sizzle, heat, and sensuality were present when Connor and Julia made love. + +I enjoyed reading this book and was pleased with the skill used in telling the story.

I started book 1 of the series after reading a few of the Mercy Thompson series, and I was lost. Clearly I had missed some important events. Found this novella, and it answered everything. +But Patricia Briggs explores the opposite end of the spectrum in the novella "Alpha and Omega," which also serves as a springboard for her new series (a sort of spinoff in the same universe as the Mercy Thompson series). It's a tightly written, open-ended little story about an abused Omega werewolf and the unexpected love between her and a very powerful alpha. +- Sedgwick intrigued me almost immediately. He's so frigid and remote at the beginning that I at once began anticipating seeing his cold demeanor melt away when he fell in love. +8500 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love paranormal fiction - it's so much better in print than in movies, and Last Rites is no exception! Reminded me of the old flick, "Army of Darkness" being the funniest horror movie I ever saw, and I'll say this is the best horror book I've read. I was Dracula for Halloween like 5 years in a row growing up so the vampire theme had me pretty well hooked. The opening chapter had my attention immediately because as a history buff myself, Kevin opens with historical events not that long ago and put a very unique and captivating spin on some recent historical figures that I quite enjoyed. This book is a great read for other sci-fi fans like me! +Not even 20 pages of the story was of them together. Never a dinner, I think they went out two times. She was always with others or shopping.

Marx was emphatic that machines came first, then all else followed them. In his retort to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's observation that the use of machines was a consequence of the division of labor,(5) Marx writes: +This book was really boring to me.

You will undoubtedly enjoy the book even more than if you simply read it. + +From California to New York and many places in between, Mascia's Never Tell Our Business to Strangers: A Memoir is a memoir that is as much about her secretive life as it is an ode to an unique family. +While Collie, is truly trying to find his place in life, he clearly needs the support of family to help him find his way...something he never seems to find. The true weakness of this story is that the characters are too quirky to be believable (at least for me), and that the story lacks a sense of focus. It seems to move all over the place without satisfactory closure. Despite this there were some humorous scenes that made my struggle with this book a bit more bearable. +Will Mansell choked on his drink when the sexy woman offered him money to pose as her boyfriend. He was so used to women choosing his brother Ed over him, and couldn't believe his luck. He would have no trouble at all posing as this gorgeous woman's long term boyfriend. Things were going well between he and Addie until his ex showed up. While he was trying to deal with her, Ed started taking notice of Addie pitting brother against brother, and after that, their lives would never be the same. +I think we may not have seen the end of Rory Hennessy, or Bridget, and I'm looking forward to finding out what else Mannahatta has in store for everyone. +I remain surprised that it won the Man Booker Prize. I took a look at the reviews on Amazon, and am not shocked to find them universally savage. An Irish female writer dealing with the subject of a dysfunctional family has a certain flavor to it-- carries a load of expectation. Those poor readers who go into it expecting The Book of Ruth or some other typical Oprah pick are going to be angry, not just disappointed. Some bad things happen, but often the narrator is just cranky. You are not allowed to feel that you have understood the past; sometimes the main character just makes things up. No catharsis, no redemption, no Irish brogue. The prose is pretty, but pretty like a snake in the grass is pretty. It glitters and it hisses and it does not really let you touch its skin. +Hayden Garrett has been attracted to Josh Peterson for a very long time. The main problem with the attraction is Josh is not gay. Hayden also feels that Josh makes fun of him every time they are around each other. When Hayden is home for a break from college, Josh talks him into spending time together first as wolves out running and playing. After changing back Hayden and Josh share a kiss, or at least that is all Hayden remembers. That same night something horrible happens to Hayden and Josh. +Melina is very knowledgeable of Prime history and has also learned their language from her parents. Melina leads a team into the Prime ship and secures the docking bay. Working her way through the maintenance ducts she is able to reach the prime crew and help rescue the ship - more importantly the Captain of the Galanti recognizes her as his mate and that she is actually a Prime citizen herself. +------------------------------ + +2290 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Thus book was out of this world. It was both entertaining and frightening. You don't know who to believe or what to believe. The world would definitely be a scary place if any of this story were true. +6891 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I grabbed this book because i had binge watched the show on netflix. the book and some of the characters are, of course, different from the show, but i thoroughly enjoyed them both. i loved the detail of the surrounding countryside and how the author can bring it to life. + + +Great advice. +Rating: R for Sexual Abuse of a child and Violence +7142 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I first heard of this author through the Dr. Thorne series in Prime streaming. I was hooked...and the book is always better than the movies, so decided to purchase them. Wow...what a bargain! .99 for the whole Barsetshire collection. Worth so much more! +8531 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Doctor and emergency room consultant James Morrell immediately recognizes the emergency room patient as his ex-wife, Dr. Lorna McClelland. She hated the situation but it brought back memories of their marriage. + +I did get a few things out of this book, but it does not rise far above the rest of the assembly line to serve a new audience. If there is an author out there who has some real in depth information and insight on glycemic index stuff, I, and at least several dozen others reviewing similar books did not find that person. +The characters were colorful, the story line was great. +5120 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 2nd time I read this; definitely a keeper! Sweet story of young mother of 3 little girls & the rough Texas rancher with a soft side. Diamond girl +6354 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I like this author and her story lines. I never feel I am reading something that questions what I believe or maybe that I should not be reading this type of material. + + +5661 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Again, my favorite. Slightly different twist in this book with character development but I absolutely loved it. Again, another favorite. + + + +7522 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Lisle treads the old worn path which has been trodden by creationists since the early years of the last century wherein twisted logic, arcane philosophy or their old favourite pseudo science are wheeled out to prove the existence of god. + + + +8772 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this one, but I still found it much too short for my liking. That's really the only problem I've had with the first 4 books in the series, which is why I'm glad that the next book, which I already bought, is an actual normal novel length. The characters are just my style and the writing is well done as I thought I had a very good vocabulary, but I learned a few new words from this author which is a good thing. At this point, I think I'd buy and read any book about Markhat. + + + +I like that the author tries a fresh aproach to scientifically explain the existance of vampires - I just don't like the execution, which I will also talk about a bit further down. I do like that these vampires are still very much in touch with their human side, and that they live in families - there are no dark, brooding, tortued creatures of the night here, which is a nice change. +8050 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I normally try and give a book a chance regardless of the reviews. +Probably the biggest value of "Where Does the Money Go?" lies in its objective assessment of various "quick fixes" - eg. simply let the Bush tax cuts expire (will take a long time to correct; regardless, won't fix Medicare or Social Security), cut discretionary spending (very, very difficult), etc. +I would recommend it to my friends. + Off your desk, where do you think? + +Robin started stripping to pay for college, but every man she has dated has equated stripping with prostitution. She has lost all trust in men until she met Will. She opened her heart to him and thought he trusted her, but his questions about her relationship with Glenn destroyed what trust and love she had for him. Now Robin owns RJ's and it is an uptown night club. Very chic and understated the club has been rebuilt and refurnished while the area was undergoing a rejuvenation. However Robin still sleeps with the lights on. +5948 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love the Alpha and Omega series. they have just the right amount of something special to appeal to many readers on may different level. Would not hesitate to recommend the series (as well as others written by her) to anyone! +While there are a lot of sad (and funny) happenings in the novel, what it all boiled down to for me was that the author's message is that we don't need all our material posessions and modern comforts; essentially her theory is that love conquers all. +There is a deep and wide pool of selfish, helpless, imbecile heroines out there in fiction, but the main characters (Jena) sister, Tati, takes the serious biscuit. She is completely braindead & makes me want to slap her all the way to Transylvania and back just to make her see the slightest tickle of sense. And yet, she was beyond hope, really. And all because of LUV as we are told. +7610 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great story actually helps with the fate of the Jedi series. Have read 1-6 and like them all hoping for #7 soon. + + +- the first kiss in Jenna's kitchen > OMG hot and WTF? about sums it up! +4282 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have been reading this a as a bedtime story for my little brother and sister. I never know what books they will like, but they both love these stories! It's hard to find something they both enjoy and I was pleasantly surprised by their reaction to this book! +I salute the author for writing such a great novel talking about what others were afraid to mention, she did an awesome job writing such a wonderful story. +I'm sure the conclusions of Boyer's book can be debated and problematized in various ways, but it's still a cogent case for an explanation of religion based on evolutionary psychology. + +771 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The reporting is good - this is just higher priced than some other good newspapers so I tend to get the other newspapers which have basically the same news. + + +My only disappointment with this novel, and it was a small one, was the very predictable storyline with Sterling. Warning, small SPOILER: +'The great thing about being dragged up is that there is no one to blame. We are entirely free range. We are human beings in the raw. Some survive better than others, that is all.' + +Your Real Job Is Closer to Home - Why women said they wouldn't mind their husband making less money if he could spend more time at home. +Special Agent Steven Thatcher is trying to get his family back on track. His youngest son hasn't been the same since he was kidnapped six months ago, his oldest has literally changed overnight. So far his middle child is fairing okay. Even without his high profile job being a widower raising three sons is a challenge. Now a serial killer has come to his small town, pulling him even further away from his family when they need him the most. +5511 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was a great series...I couldn't put it down. Each of the men and their stories were captivating. Makes me want to check out Bear Creek, Alaska. On a side note, I believe the books as they fall in the bundle are not in order...so you may want to check out the author's website to make sure you read them in order. +7384 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 perfect story of love, foreplay and devotion. I could not put this book down! Very good deal for the price. + +978 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 An interesting look into the life of a participant in the Great war. +As for the writing, this is Dickens. Five stars for the content. +2864 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A book I didn't want to stop reading and hated coming to the end. A mystical dreamy sad story about a sad time in history. +2287 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I bought this book for JD Robb's story. That story was pretty good (I'm a Robb fan), but I browsed through the other stories and didn't read them as I'm not a fan of vampires, werewolves or weird futuristic stories. +I have almost as many stories as Chief Griffith (54-86) in my service (60-66). My report list and Capt mast record was as long as I am tall. That is why I loved reading Chief Griffiths book. It's hard to believe that both of us served under the same bunch of "Dolts". Where do these guys come from?" He was a Photographer and I was a Jet Mechanic not allowed to touch a wrench. I was a Plane Captain,I just carried an 80 lb bag of chains around and unchained em then when they came back chained up again until I got my Crow. We were on the flight line day and night sometimes 16 hours in all kinds of weather. I fell asleep once on a drop tank and was almost catapulted off the ship. +Author of "Fast Escape" KINDLE Amazon.com +9110 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Love Beth Kery's heated romances! You may sacrifice your dreams of true love for a little while but no matter what NO ONE FILLS THEIR PLACE IN YOUR HEART! +This is the relationship I want and the life I want to live. + + + +This is the first novel that I have read by Jennifer Haymore so I did not know what to expect. Now I know. I should expect a compelling story with intrigue, lots of emotion, very steamy loves scenes for a traditional historical romance, and I should plan to devour it in one sitting...everything else can wait. I honestly could not put the book down. I had to find out who Sophie would choose, and surprisingly I was not able to guess until the very end of the book. It was that well written. I will eagerly be anticipating the next book in the series, A Touch of Scandal, her sequel to A Hint of Wicked, which was wickedly good. +3012 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have been reading all of Delle Jacobs' books this month, and this is one of my favorites. I recognize I really like her more comical plots than the more serious ones, and part of the allure is her wonderful wit and wonderful characterizations. But this is also a truly very sweet love story as well, and very beautifully told. Not a dull moment in the entire book. Some explicit sex, but some of it is even....funny. Yes, funny! +REVIEW: + +5335 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have just finished marathoning this series (except for the first one, I'd already read that one), including the shorts and I still want more. MORE, I tell you. +6083 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 In a fantasy land where vampires help humans to defeat an enemy from another dimension. There's plenty of fighting action along with romance between vampire and human. The characters were well developed so you could understand their relationships and emotions. This book is a great beginning to a series! + + +5045 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 i always knew that the story was far from what you find in the movies.. +4300 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A classic that really shows the charming literalness, innocence, and adorable self-centered logic of childhood. The writing really shines when you read it out loud and I enjoyed reading it as much as my kids enjoyed listening to it. +1313 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Dude can write. In fact, this book is one of the most original that I've come across in a long time. +A very poignant, in your face read that will not be soon forgotten. +Charles is determined to deal with Leo and his pack-mates for the atrocities perpetrated against Anna. It normally happens that the human chooses a mate, and the inner wolf follows. For Charles, it happened backwards. If he had his way, he would have taken things slowly to woo Anna and to not scare her off by his intensity. However, Anna is reading him all wrong and he needs to let her know just how badly he wants her and to prove his loyalty to her. + + +9878 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This short story is like the first few chapters of a book that is not finished. The author talks about battles between evil and good vampires. The evil ones want to take Bliss as a breeder. Caden takes her first to be his mate and the process makes her stronger to be able to better resist the evil ones. This is the story of Bliss and Caden first getting together, having sex and turning her into a vampire. This part of the story was complete. +Like the previous books in the series, THE ICEBOUND LAND ends with a cliffhanger. Having already defeated the dark lord and endured captivity, the series has also become more intriguing. Who knows what adventures will befall Will and his friends next? Will they continue to battle the human evils that run rampant in their world? Or will the disparate parties be called to unite against the threat of a greater supernatural evil once again? +8074 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The concept of this story was very interesting two friends being captivated with two individuals only to find that they are one and the same. The characters are similar yet complex at the same time. The story very unique in its development. I truly enjoyed the characters and wished the story had not ended so soon. +7455 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I am an amateur photographer & love photographing beautiful old buildings...now I have an impressive to-do list! I especially appreciate the left &right directions. We have rooms reserved in the French Quarter so this really fit the bill &I really liked the brief histories, too. +There may be moments of questioning to a character's behavior, action, event, etc..just remember your reading fiction. Everything isn't going to be perfect or exact. + ++ Galba +5076 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 In general, this should be a model for how Kindle book collections are made: everything is clean and well-formatted and I didn't catch many (if any) OCR mistakes or typographical errors. All in all, a stellar bargain to have all 14 of Baum's Oz books in one collection. +4947 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 enjoyed the different point of view. + +7906 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a story that immediately grips you and holds you through the story. The book appears to be well researched and quite accurate in regard to the experiences that happen to Kaylee. +Jessee's remembers his background so very well. Or does he? He remembers his sister, Emily, very well. Or does he? He remembers his foster parents very well. Or does he? +Suetonius had the good fortune of speaking to eyewitnesses from the time of the early Caesars. Much of his information about Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero in fact comes from those who observed and/or participated in their lives. Suetonius is in many ways more of a reporter than an historian--he would record conflicting statements without worrying about the reconciliation (this set him apart from Tacitus and other classical historians who tried to find a consistency in stories and facts. +I'm also more interested in the interactions between the Kindle and the rest of the industry, both narrowly defined as the eReader industry, and more broadly defined as the publishing industry. There are other blogs out there with a broader focus. I'm sure I'll end up subscribing to one of them. But this blog's focus is just too narrow for me. +It might seem like a very radical approach to some, but to me, it makes sense. It takes you to ground zero, and helps you build a financial plan, and a secure financial future for yourself and your family. + + +1343 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I liked the themes and do appreciate the efforts to explain the reasons leading to conclusions. However, maybe I've become less patient from my tech, but the text seems overly verbose. Yes it is a matter of preferred style, so many will like this style. Hence 4 stars but I understand why others might give more. +Kallysten's writing is smooth and extremely hot. She never fails to give her readers a fantastic tale that leaves them panting for more! + + +9605 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 So nice to have everything in one place so I don't have to keep a lot of different books around that were falling apart. +I have the whole series. +2690 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have a number of Kara Louise's books and have to say that some titles, which seem off-putting, actually have better story lines. However, there are many things about this book that I like. And I did read this book at least three times since owning it. +781 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It's nice to read that every city has the same problems besides ones one....crime, drugs. We are not alone. A well put together paper. + +Charli's not entirely comfortable with the changes taking place in her circle of friends. However, she's been aware of a tension within the group ever since Rafael admitted to his bisexuality. Before that, he and Eric had been very close. Here in Cozumel where Lee, Lori Ann and Connie have chosen to speak their vows, Charli will be given the opportunity to fulfill her fantasies - and then some. Charli's surprised to learn that she, Simon, Eric and Rafael have been registered for a naughty shore excursion called "The Race Erotic." They'll endure a series of exciting challenges that will bring them closer than ever and force them to acknowledge feelings they'd previously fought to keep hidden. Charli's fearful that this change to their friendship will destroy the relationship she's come to treasure with `her men.' What will happen when the fantasy is over and the wedding party returns to reality? +If one is looking to fault Marx's economics based on the works of Capital, one will come up empty not only because Marx's logic is flawless, but as economist and former Marxist Thomas Sowell says, " ...Marx considered the idea of proving a concept to be ridiculous. Moreover, Engels had asserted...that one only proves one's ignorance of dialectics by thinking of it as a means by which things can be proved."(2) +This novel is at times painful to read. It is a story that involves great cruelty and much suffering, but it is beautiful nonetheless. If you are an avid reader, with a background in science fiction and fantasy and happen to be bilingual as well, this may be the most enjoyable book you have ever read. My lack of Spanish fluency was an issue and caused me to teeter between four and five stars, but the story and writing were simply too good to fall below the highest rating. Four and three-quarters stars rounds to five. +It has characters who are interesting from the moment they're introduced, +She did tell me a lot about this book and class talks in the classroom. It got her to rethink about eating and the class wasn't about that LOL but it help her to rethink about other things that the class was teaching too. +2) has excellent suggestions for breakfast including a good explanation of the differences in cereals. +James +But as the story goes, the two main characters, being intelligent and strong-willed overcame their fears, their pains and their pasts and made a go at their second chance at love. + + + + +This is the first story I have read by this author, and I have to say she going on my must-buy list. She drew me into the story and kept me up way past bedtime when I should have been reading several nights in a row. Thanks so much for letting me read your book, Nicole; you gave me a real treat in this story. + +Kelly McCullough has created a new subgenre in science fantasy with a fascinating blend of magical, mythological and computer elements mixed into a rollicking adventure filled with wild and wicked humor and nonstop action (and a dash of romantic relief). Read it! + + +The circumstances surrounding Alex, Chase, and Jasmine's separation and then their reunion, are realistic, as are the obstacles they face. Their history together makes their quick bond natural. I would love to read more about how Chase and Alex got together. The little bit Alex tells Jasmine is angst-filled, heart-warming, and very sexy. The addition of Jasmine into Alex and Chase's relationship enhances their already strong bond. The chemistry between the three of them feels natural. Coming Full Circle is an erotic romance with three times the trouble, three times the heat, and three times the love than your average romance. +The emphasis of this book are the teachings of Jesus Himself. There are some who believe that the epistles should be a greater influence in the believer's life than the Gospels, and I lean that way (though I believe all the epistles should be the guideline, while others focus solely on Paul's letters). However, MacArthur does cross reference the epistles. +7571 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Laura Vasquez just might have found a way out of the sticky web she has been living in for the past several years. Her husband is dead and was under investigation by the FBI when it happened. Now Laura just has to find the correct person to give her the evidence she needs to finally set herself free. The only problem with this plan is that the man she turned her back on long ago is the lead agent in this investigation. Shane Dominic is now the Chicago Special Agent in Charge, but years ago he was just the man that loved and wanted to marry Laura. Shane has never understood why she married Vasquez nor why she has put up with the type of married life he understands she has had. + +9509 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I read the pre-tease before I ordered it, and, well, 3 teenage girls... really??? +6466 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Have only read a few pages waiting for the muse to invite my soul but ... in general I am happy with Amazon Kindle...and would recommend to anyone wanting to read on tablet. Thanks David +To Let traces the family's fortunes through the turn of the 20th Century as the newer generations begin to consume rather than generate family wealth. This is a time of social and legal conflicts for the family that disrupt the order of their traditional lives. The focus gradually changes to the youngest members of the family who, because of the devastating effects of the World War, believe that there is more to life than hoarding of riches, commodities that can disappear quickly. These Forsytes pursue artistic and social justice activities and use the family money to go their own ways. The 4% rule is not forgotten, but rather never known by the youngsters. +- Lots of fun, accepting secondary characters. Jake's pack is awesome; I really enjoyed reading about their camaraderie and their loyalty to each other. + +9523 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 First the good: The story is quite interesting and pulled me in right away. It was in first person so if you don't like that style, you may not like this book. I like how the first person went back and forth between Viola and Duke. The story was internally-consistent and had a few surprises for me (which I won't spoil for you). I had a hard time putting the book down when it was 1 am and I was about 3/4 through the book. That is always the sign of an engrossing story for me. Also, I LIKED the characters which is always important to me and I liked how they were fleshed out. For some strange reason, it reminded me a big of the "Fever" series by Karen Marie Moning. I'm not quite sure why as the story is very different but somehow it had the same flavor as that series. The end of the book indicates that the sequel, The Chaos Child, is coming out in Winter of 2010. As long as it is a reasonable price, I will likely buy the sequel to Daugher of Deception as I can't wait to see what happens next. +8037 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Jealousy love triangleish story. Beckett, Colin and Tiana have grown up in the castle walls. Three friends-it seemed.............. + +I found myself with a sense of quiet wonder reading this book. It was like a spell was woven and I didn't want to wake up. And it was such a sweet and loving dream too. +5628 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was amazing!!! I wish I could give it more stars. I love how Mrs. Kingsbury showed the main character, Jamie, hurting, but healing and growing as a new christian woman. It was an amazing book that I couldn't put down the moment I started to read it. I'm reading the third book in that series now, and equally loving it. Thank you for sharing your talent, Mrs. Kingsbury. +http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525477683?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s03 +Living Dead Girl does not shy away from the sexual abuse that is inflicted upon Alice. It's all there and it's raw, gritty, and horrifying. It's not hard at all to imagine everything that Alice is going through. I liked that the author wrote Alice in a realistic way. The fictional portrayal of children who are abused tends to be a bit off. They tend to be written as kids who would do whatever they can to make sure that the pain they are feeling won't be inflicted upon anyone else, when the reality is that those kids will do anything to get out of a situation like that even if it means having another innocent person take their place. Did this make Alice a little bit unsympathetic? Yes. Did this make her more real? Like you wouldn't believe. + +I knew from the Star Wars comics that the Mandalorians were involved in the Vong War during their invasion and that they fought alongside them against the New Republic. But this e-book really helped fill in the gaps that the comics and the novels left. I knew they weren't just in it for the credits! + I didn't find the characters enticing nor fully filled out. Even our protagonist is a little hard to take because the first 20% or more of the book is spent wondering if he is a psychopath or not. It is hard to change horses in the middle of a race, even if it is a slow one. +The list goes on and on. + +3635 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I am a fairly slow reader. Not sure if it's because I enjoy going slow and savoring a book; or if it's the book itself, drawing me in slowly; or, maybe it's that, while I enjoy the stories and characters, the writing is so-so. The Icebound Land is engaging, gripping, and kept me up well into the morning looking to see what's next. The story is simple compared to books one and two. It's about survival and loyalty and friendship and hope. +7129 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Dull, silly stories not worth reading. Skipped many parts because they were just plain dumb. I would not recommend this book to anyone. +Conclusion: If you're a series fan, definitely give this one a chance. If you're new to the series, consider checking out some of the earlier volumes first. +The men take a definite second place in this warm and touching novel and despite the highly serious tones, somehow Kendrick still manages to make her characters happy and brave. There is very little "poor little me" in this novel (and believe me when you read Ellie's story you will feel very sorry for her AND HATE HER HUSBAND). The women are strong and stand up for themselves. + +6825 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love it. I can play it with my 2-year old grandson (even if he doesn't understand the game...I let him win all the time!!) +55 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I felt alternately that this book was written in a slightly boring style, but was a very interesting story. What a bold, fearless young man. I immediately watched the movie after finishing the book. I thought the book was better. +It's time for another meeting of the BROTHERS OF THE ABSINTHE CLUB. This time it's Ross Benson's turn to share his wild tale of a sexual exploit that resulted from a reckless moment. +Honestly, I enjoyed this novel, despite the oh so very embarrassingly trashy cover. If you are a sci-fi fan and enjoy Linnea Sinclair or Paticia Waddell, then you'd like this one. I also went out and bought another one by this author, so you may find her somewhat addicting. +5786 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I like the historical romance novels so if you like that kind of story then you like this one. +8778 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Josh Lanyon's novella "The Dickens with Love" is a story of love, redemption and holiday spirit that will both entertain and charm its readers. Basically, this is a Christmas story about a Christmas story; it is clever, well-written, and frequently humorous, and it captures the many facets of the holiday season. Within the pages of this story, we find Christmas cheer, seasonal depression, music both annoying and inspiring, fellowship and family, and that magical feeling of anticipation that comes no other time of the year. +Overall: Heartbreaking, emotional, but a great story. This book is realistic and you will be sucked right into Alice's life. You will feel what she feels, think what she thinks, long for what she longs for. +I liked that there was a surprisingly plentiful cast of secondary characters. The length of the story didn't give much room for them to be fleshed out very well, but spending time with Gage's family and Hailey's friends did add a bit of depth to both main characters. Depth that I enjoyed. I was amused by the relationship between Gage and his brothers and mother. Those weekly breakfast/guilt sessions and the sibling ribbings that went on seemed very natural to the characters and situations. I enjoyed them a lot. +618 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved it. Light and humorous and lightly sexy... + +9929 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Not only do I think this book is a five star book, but it is also one of my favorite books I have read out of the thousand in my personal library. + +I really liked the story and the only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I'm a strong believer that intimacy should only exist in marriage. There were no explicit scenes just behind closed doors. +8915 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoy reading, at any time I'll have at least three books I'm reading at the same time. So for me to say an audio book is good that's saying a lot. I like Richard Armitage, he's nice to look at and he's got a very pleasant voice. But I think in this case Richard's reading of this book is what makes it wonderful to listen to. +Overall Rating: 4 Stars +9254 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I got this story back in September 2010 for free and am just getting around to reading it. I was pleasantly surprised and truly enjoyed the story. I really enjoyed how Ransom respected Gwen's wishes to remain faithful until her divorce was final. The lessons he taught her were HOT! +9131 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Really like is book, it engaged me from the first lime and kept the interest up to the very end. The writing is good quality (which is more unusual than I would like), the story is interesting and the sex scenes are great. This author is added to my watch list +9751 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is a huge collection of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky's works in one place for an unheard of price. Like many kindle editions, no illustrations for these very old texts. Links? What links? You'll need to create your own, but worth the effort. This series would make a perfect set for a metaphysical study group alone or as an adjunct to the Bailey material (Alice A Bailey). Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. An amazing woman now, and even more amazing in her time, she traveled extensively in search of answers. She is responsible for bringing Buddhism to the Western world. Her works on the ancient wisdom was the start of the new age movement as we know it today. Her works may be a little difficult for the beginner to understand since 19th century language is so different. But with some basic ground work (like Alice A Bailey's works) you should be able to work your way thru. A study group with a leader who has some experience with this material is always advantageous, but should not be a deterrent for the determined seeker. There are texts here that are extremely hard to come by. Theosophical student to occultist, inquiring mind to scholar, worth the time and the read. + + +It reads like something that would probably make a good TV series or miniseries. +It is over fifty years since I read these books and I still remember them. For some reason that I do not remember, I decided to read the first of the series The Warden. I liked it so much that I read the other five books about the fictional Cathedral Town. I liked these so much that I then read all of Trollope's books. I still remember them fondly. I have all of them and have placed them in a prominent place among my 12,000 books. + +8451 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is amazing, and I can't wait to get the next one in the series. Very good book to read... or magna/comic. +1650 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Hawke is a great character that is rough and tough but gentle and smart at the same time. It is an enjoyable read that gives you a true flavor as to how the old west could have been. +7473 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book might get you started but does not go into a lot of detailed information. But, I enjoyed the book. + +5166 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great story! +I decided to re-read this book because I remember really enjoying it but couldn't remember why. +1149 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Raffaelle the hero of this novel was wonderful and the more I read the more I liked him. He was rich, gorgeous, and sexy. He'd been dating an ex model named Elise not knowing she was married to a powerful Greek tycoon. When he found out she was married he refused to see her again but the press had taken pictures of the two. Elise was in big trouble with her husband and she asked her sister who looked a lot like her to help her. What happens next is funny, sexy, and so hot. I don't want to tell you too much because it would ruin it for you. This book has conflict, and it moves fast and sweetly. I couldn't put it down. I give it five stars and recommend it highly. +7234 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 It's THREE PAGES LONG... + +Instead, with Longclaws, I was immediately swept into some darkly fabulous storytelling. Instead of struggling to finish the book, I was thinking about the book when doing other things, anxious to return to my reading. +8823 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've already learned some things about how to use my Kindle, since I've never had one before. I have the WI-FI only, and can access both at home and at work. Also, it's nice to get the blog on my Kindle, and I can just click on the free books, or other links and go right to Amazon. I can be sitting on the couch instead of at my computer now! Thanks Michael Gallagher (Updated 10/7/2010 --I Love this blog...it is my favorite and will continue to enjoy it in the future.) +This is a collection of stories all of which take place in the imaginative 100 Acre Woods revolving around Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. The stories are a journey of friendship and of growing up. They would be great to read to your younger children, but they are also perfect for your early reader to read as they transition from being a "big kid" to being a kid. If you are nostalgic for your own childhood then I highly recommend that you pick up this book and relive a bit of magic that can be found between a child and their bear. + +Janvier. Wow. What can I say except I want to meet him. A native from the bayous, with an old world charm, and an, apparently, innate sexiness, he is just fantastic. Watching him play off of Ashwini, lightening the mood and at the same time ratcheting up their relationship throughout everything they were trying to accomplish in Atlanta was truly a joy. + +8069 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The eyes tell a story of loss and unimaginable sorrow, Can two strong beautiful men show one beautiful woman, what it is to truly be loved and desired..not everyone has to be in this world alone? Can love cure the wounds of the soul. Kaya is a cougar shifter, rare and beautiful she is rescue by two handsome man.

And when tragedy strikes,can they men find her before it is too late for commitment,love and family. When Kaya past circumstances intervene will it all go up in flames. This PNR, 5 star read shouldn't be missed! +This collection was obviously scanned from print versions and was never proofread and corrected. Words are often totally garbled; the most frequent error is the substitution of the letter "I" for an exclamation point. Surely the publisher could have done better than this. + +The best way to get rich with a self-help book is to WRITE one, and please bear that in mind. Dave Ramsey, Inc. is a giant enterprise. +but you will find actual pictures. There is a story to be had from every port + +And Mascia's life wasn't your typical life. +1489 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the second time I've read this book-the first was many years ago. Great form in the writing, the background and the characters-and it is so restful to have correct punctuation , grammar, spelling and whatnot. Restful and at the same time gripping-could not put it down. +10 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was hoping to find this one in book form. The story looks like it will be good when I get that far in the series. + + + +670 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The entire Argeneaux Series by Lynsay Sands deserves 5 star ratings. They have excellent characters, great stories, and a comedic flare. I only wish I could join their family. I'd have no hesitation about turning for one of these guys. + +But this time, they get caught. And Hailey is the one who will bear Gage's punishment of choice - an evening out with him! + + +The phrase "pulp fiction" generally conveys something of lesser quality, trash, in fact. I'll never make that assumption again having read Raymond Chandler, master of the genre. Few authors in any genre have been able to write as well as he did. +In a word, Wildwood Dancing is frustrating. Writing for young adults does not require treating them like children, but Marillier does. The book is entirely predictable, and when the reader is a dozen steps ahead the story quickly grows dull. In the midst of such an obvious plot the characters come across as oblivious rather than the bright young women they are meant to be. Frustrating too is the book's conflict: the primary antagonist is a domineering male relative, and though (given the book's setting) conflict over gender roles and female repression is perfectly natural, here the conflict is so overt and exaggerated that it becomes a parody of itself. As the girls are stripped of more and more of their autonomy, the reader becomes less sympathetic and increasingly frustrated, wishing the author would just skip to the part where they reassert control. But when they do, it's somewhat anti-climactic. The solutions are too easy, and too much is engineered by outside forces. Rather than empowered, the sisters are more or less swept along to their predictable fates. + +8240 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A good mnage story; well written with interesting characters. I will definitely be looking for other books by this author. +Both were of professional quality. +2827 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Following the highly humorous Accidental Werewolf, Dakota Cassidy brings us back to the color circle of Marty, Wanda, and Nina for another fun romp. Nina starts a new job as a dental hygenist. How could she know that the patient would have a vicious reaction to the numbing agent? The patient bites her, and she doesn't think much more about it until later. Later, as in the next evening when she finds she slept the day away, missed work, and woke up with fangs! Determined to get her humanity back, she gets her friends involved in her quest. Full of humor and likeable characters, you're sure to like this light paranormal read, if you can get past the vulgar language. I'm looking forward to reading Wanda's story next ! + +It is so convenient to have all the info right on the Kindle. + +Well written. I hadn't read Faye Kellerman in a long time, so glad I read this. +Ana and Eric both enjoyed being with their lover..not wanting the lover to know they were engaged. + + +I also love the way Kim makes the setting come alive. She pulls together unknown pieces of Kansas history that add richness and depth to the plot. I also enjoyed the fact that this book was set during the Depression. This has been a time period that has been overlooked by many historical authors, yet Kim makes it come to life in a manner that kept me engaged from page one. +His tips have been helpful to an inexperienced +What an exciting premise around which to revolve a story. A little girl loses her big sister to a killer and from that moment on her life is never the same. Through science, she is driven to find justice for all victims of crime. When she finds out she helped incarcerate an innocent man for killing her sister, she stops at nothing to find the actual killer. She poses as an FBI Agent to insert herself into the Seattle Police Department's investigation of a serial killer -- believing him to be the man who killed her sister. + +3. Looking Ahead (The Holy Spirit's role in decision-making) + + +8421 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Tad and Missy *swoon* +There is more than one story in this novel, and if I tell you which one I read it may well detract from your own reading pleasure. My advice to intending readers is to approach this book as you would any large family: what you see on first acquaintance is not necessarily all there is. +1746 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved all these stories.. There was a couple i had missed before..She takes you into another world...Great characters, awesome stories of love... A must read for all Maggie Shayne fans + + + + +Tuttle uses Mama Hog again to good effect, and Granny Knot is a great new character. Once again, the many minor characters are vivid, even if their roles are somewhat fleeting. The cast is rather less confusing than say, in the latest Markhat book, The Banshee's Walk: A Markhat Novel, and the editing is much better than in the later book. I had no complaints at all about the writing, which is uniformly excellent. +1480 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Really liked this book. The author writes very well, enough details to build an image but not so much that you get either overwhelmed or bored. +1403 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is a joy to read. It should be read in schools. Sue Kid writes beautifully. One can almost feel themselves in SC in 1964. The characters are well drawn. I did learn much about bees that I enjoyed. + +4254 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book including the history of how Hungry Girl came to write could easily have been written by myself. Even her recipes are very similar to the concoctions I have come up with in an effort to stay slim in Los Angeles amongst the beautiful people. Hungry girl gave me some new and refreshing ideas to add to my own and I am grateful for that and give this book five stars. I love to eat, and I seem to need that satiated and full feeling in order to be satisfied. I strongly disagree with some of the reviews that say the recipes do not taste good. Perhaps you follow them too literally? I don't know but I have been cooking for years and I just adjust things that don't seem right to me. I just finished a large plate of chili cheese fries and it was absolutely satisfying and healthy too. I was planning to make her macaroni and cheese later. Her recipe calls for a family sized bag of cauliflower in cheese sauce combined with whole wheat penne. My store did not have any of the cheese sauced cauliflower but I love the idea of using the cauliflower to "stretch" the pasta (a trick I often use by whipping a large head cauliflower in my food processor along with a large baked potato....taste great just like mashed potato with less calories, starch and carbs) so I will cut up a fresh cauliflower and will probably make a vegan cheese sauce using nutritional yeast to mix in but will also make use of her cube of light laughing cow cheese to add some more authentic cheesy taste. I just love her ideas, they have really helped me to add variety! I also love how many of her recipes are designed for one, that is so helpful to me. After you look at her book, it's so easy to use the principles of volumizing the meal with vegetables and low calorie choices to make your own recipes. For those who speak of the use of high sodium and/or unhealthy foods I think that Hungry Girl only includes these for occasional use and for the sake of convenience when you are pressed for time, something I can appreciate. Most things are cooked from scratch using healthy items. I don't actually know how many of the recipes I have followed without making any changes at all, but it's the inspirations that have proven most valuable to me. The use of fiber one cereal to "fry" is great. I make chicken fingers like this all the time. I mean sure, it's not the same as a bucket of KFC, but come on people you have to make some sacrifice, and frankly I think she makes the sacrifices a lot easier to swallow. I also like to "fry" eggplant slices in the oven using this method for a delicious eggplant parmesan. I use nutritional yeast for the cheese when I make this. Anyway, I think the folks giving the book a negative review are unable to use the recipes to their advantage and to form their own ideas. A little common sense, cooking skills and imagination make this book a reference to return to time and time again. +Through her Eyes is a very erotic read with a bit of dominance and submission tossed in for good measure. The mystery of the murderer and how events in the past and in the future entangle to affect the present is very intriguing. Des and Claire seemed to have some attachment to one another before they actually ever meet. Especially since Des, an admitted sceptic of psychic abilities has actually experienced Claire's erotic dream of the night before with her! These two had a special connection that was there from their first interaction whether in the dream world or in reality. It was fun to work out the mystery along with Des and Claire and solve it Through her Eyes. +"Alice" tells the story through diary-like entries of her abduction and subsequent living arrangements with her kidnapper. This is a gritty, hard-core tale sunk deep into the mire of the reality of what happens to many children who disappear without a trace. + +982 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One wonders how these people survived what with the conditions and stress they lived with daily. Although their cause was not just, their bravado was admirable. Great book for manyone interested in history. +3869 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The story line was pretty cool... trying to make it seem like a typical clashing of the cultures story, yet turning it around with a peaceful ending. +Lorene is fighting evil daily and trying g to escape the evil one who wants her. When she meets Sevan things begin to look like a old prophecy is being fulfilled. +7844 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 SILLY AT TIMES, BUT LOVED IT, COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN.... +9859 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I will have to say that I typically don't like dragons but this dragon...oh my...I loved him! Plus, I love a good mystery and this story had it in spades. What I found interesting was how Ms. Pape incorporated the fantasy element with the mystery that surrounded the dragon. The dragon had its own personality. He drinks beer for goodness sake and is well versed in the modern era. I loved that he starts off as being a bit of rogue but in the end, he's just a big ole' softie. + +1584 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love Julie Garwood she is one of my favorite authors. I have read and re-read her books for years. This book was okay but just did not run together like her other stories. The characters and story line were good but the book seemed rushed. She spent more time on the relationship between the main male character and the guards then the heroine. I just didn't feel the relationship was as well developed as her other books. But overall I enjoyed this book. + +6087 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Excellent book for school age kids. Teaches tolerance and understanding. Fun to read. Everyone from 3-100 should read it often. + + +1041 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 You can't find more for your needed like sports, comic, etc. It is take so space from kindle to caused slow, I think. So I removed it. +6691 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I received the book in a timely manner and in great condition. Would definately buy from this seller again. Fast Shipping. +Jack wants Belle as much she wants him. Jack's need to possess her and dominate her is strong, but he refuses to compete with the spirit of a dead man. +4098 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The book up for review is "Longclaws" by Steve Peek. + +What is it like in Tahiti? What are the people like? What do they eat, wear +Only recently, through the careful work of the three maverick scientists tracked here by the author, have we been able to show mathematically that Bohr's intuition was correct: that electrons gain and lose energy constantly by exchanges and transfers from the ZPF in a dynamic equilibrium: balanced at exactly the right orbit. In fact their findings went much further even than this. By inference they were also able to establish that the ZPF not only accounts for the stability of electrons in the atom, but also for the stability of all matter! And conversely, their equations also showed that by pulling the plug on the ZPF atomic structures also collapsed. And even more astounding yet, their calculations also showed that ZPF waves drive the motion of subatomic particles; and that all the motion of all the particles of the universe in turn generates the ZPF! QED. +2568 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another wonderful book of A A Milne's poems. My favourite would still have to be Forgiven about Alexander Beetle. Fabulous! +5631 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Ebony Knight was raised by her mother to always look for a man with deep pockets to give her the lavish lifestyle that she deserves. Fast-forward years later and Ebony is now Supreme Mistress Ebony, a very successful dominatrix. She hits the jackpot when she takes on multi-millionaire Erik Johansen as one of her clients. Money is no object because Erik has twisted, kinky fetishes and fantasies that only Ebony can fulfill. Ebony is in total control as she is submerged into this lucrative and mysterious lifestyle. But Ebony's life is put on pause when she meets a sexy photographer named Jeff Cardoza. Ebony feels herself falling in love with Jeff which is not her plan at all. Ebony may have to rethink her future when Erik becomes dangerously obsessed with her and won't let her go. Suddenly Ebony is forced into a deadly situation that may cost her everything she's ever worked for. +4166 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This item is what it was represented to be, and I am most appreciative of the fact that I received what I paid for. +I confess a weakness for heroines who do not fit the classic model of decorum. I identify with women like Rebecca who struggle with to grow beyond her reputation as a troublemaker and to quit smoking. It's heroines like Rebecca that make Superromances sparkle, because they are flawed, sassy and real. And they get guys like Josh, a fantasy come true. And with author Brenda Novak's pen, they also get a very bumpy ride on the way to romance, filled with the emotional conundrums that makes her stories outrageous, fun and believable. A HUSBAND OF HER OWN comes highly recommended. + +1763 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Maggie did a great job to have you hooked! which i was! i won't give out any spoilers but i must say i do recommend this book! the stories flowed easily and kept you wondering. +2851 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 My wife suggested this book due to my interest in martial arts and history. I read what it was about and decided to give it a try. I'm an avid reader but few books hold my attention quite like this one did from start to finish. Philip (Student) and Endo-son (Teacher) have a very deep connection and relationship in a turbulent time of war during WWII. As an American reading the book the relationship often times seems as if it is a romantic one. That may just be cultural or even the literary way in which the author writes. Please don't let that dissuade you from from reading the book. It's beautiful written and incredibly engaging. I just finished the book a few minutes ago and have to say that it is one of my favorite books that I've ever read. +5629 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Three years have come and gone since the horrible reality that was 9/11. Jamie and Sierra are adjusting to life without Jake, and Jamie finds comfort in volunteering at the memorial chapel across from where the towers once proudly stood. The pain of Jake's death is slowly easing, and as she is beginning to open her heart to others, she feels a connection with a police officer she meets from Los Angelos. + +6230 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Being a fan of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons I eagerly purchased The Rose Labyrinth and settled down for what I hoped would be a great read. However, the overwhelming detail -- though informative in its own way -- managed to smother the plot development. Reading was a laborous task and at several points I almost gave up the attempt to finish it. Perhaps I am too impatient a reader, or maybe I was just having difficulty following Hardie's detailed background info, but I was reminded of the advice included in many books on writing: the plot should drive the story. Though the subject matter intrigues me, I felt Hardie's knowledge and wanting to include so much of it in her novel caused her to lose sight of the plot far too often. +For that reason only - I am deducting a star. +Beyond the good story there was a lot of witty dialogue. There are a lot of conversations between Henry and Walt. Some serious, some comical. This one was one of my favorites +7308 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Twilight Guardian series needs to be on your must read list. I stumbled on the series while waiting for other "must reads" to be published- never having heard of the author. RG Alexander now holds a special place on my favorite list. +This review and more at openbooksociety dot com +2052 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I did the first 2. I felt it was very fast paced. Halt's humor was a very nice change. Kind of feels like the reader gets to know him a bit more. I too had a feeling of dread for Will due to his drug addiction. However, I did feel like the ending was a bit too quick. But as with the other 2 books, it leaves you wanting more. This is defiantly a winning series. +10.

However, I really enjoyed this book the depths of it was very surprising and I could not put the book down until I was finished with it. Sevan and Lorelei I connected with almost instantly and that was quickly followed by his brother and her sisters and Christian. It is a very well written and balanced plot line, the stories are rich and it holds great promise in learning the stories of the other characters. + + +228 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 As usual, Lisa Scottoline has delivered yet another book that is hard to put down. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is because for this book, I found myself sometimes getting lost in the number of characters . But overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys anything written by Lisa Scottoline. +The Ozarks + In the years following the war it was Carrie McGavock who reburied the Confederate dead in her family cemetery.

In that case keep your head in the sand and follow the dogma that you grew up on. It's gotten you this far. If that's that case my questions is, why are you reading a book like this anyway. You didn't actually believe there was a science to this stuff, did you? +It (SGR)is an easy read, and it's highly useful. You can get rich by acting in a certain way, and having certain beliefs.

This is definitely one of the most depressing and scary stories I have ever read. Basically every sentence of this novel is a painful assault on your psyche. The descriptions of daily physical, psychological and sexual abuse are almost impossible to bear. +"L.M. Montgomery's Short Story Collection" is very highly recommended to her fans and to readers meeting her work for the first time. +7344 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This started off a little...haphazardly. I wasn't sure of some of the phrasing and even had to read a line or two twice. But the characters were very interesting, and the plot was quite intriguing. The flow evened out perfectly and the first story was satisfying--I should have known, as is the case with a truly talented storyteller--this book would only get better. Each story has its own flow--beginning, middle, end, and the book as a whole also has some great character growth. This isn't so much a collection of short stories as it is a set of adventures involving two (or more) great and funny characters. There's wit, danger, intelligence--and most of all, Fun. I loved it. +533 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the first book in Allison Brennan's FBI series, which then grew into the Lucy Kincaid series. Jack Kincaid has long been my favorite of her alpha heroes and I can't believe I hadn't picked up this book before now. It. Was. Awesome. Jack is every bit as brooding as I anticipated. He's quiet. He's deadly. And he doesn't know what the hell to do with FBI Agent Megan Elliott. Well, besides fall in love with her. Unfortunately, she's tracking a pair of serial killers and their paths intersect when the killers take out one of Jack's oldest friends. The action is nonstop, the suspense will keep you up with the lights on, and the twist leading to the climax is perfect. Kudos to Ms. Brennan for a book well written! And a hot alpha hero. Megan, I'm so jealous... *looks shifty-eyed* + +Carol Marrs Phipps, Co-author of ELF KILLERS +All n' all a good guilty pleasure read. Something to read at the beach or in the park. Though the arousal factor could present interesting moments. LOL! + +9227 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I really loved this novella, it was just what I was craving...a great straightforward contemporary romance, just a man and a woman and their story of love. +I became interested in knowing more about the Walt Longmire Mysteries after learning that it was going to be made into a TNT series starring Katee Sackhoff, who was in one of my all-time favorite series, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. So I picked up THE COLD DISH and then DEATH WITHOUT COMPANY and then KINDNESS GOES UNPUNISHED and so on through ANOTHER MAN'S MOCASSINS, A DARK HORSE, JUNKYARD DOGS, and on to Craig Johnson's latest offering to the series, HELL IS EMPTY. + + +4864 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I found the story of Kasey and Gram to very romantic, with a sprinkling of good sex scenes. Kasey has fallen in love for the first time; he has to decide if he will out himself and possibly derail his professional basketball career. Gram a very tasty night club owner wants to be with Kasey in any capacity he can; he loves Kasey and is willing to stay in the background to preserve his career. The sex scenes were a little tame for my tastes, but I will definitely read this again when I'm in the mood for romance. Enjoy! +Smith wasn't only a science fiction writer - in fact, this was merely a minor, part-time hobby for him. His real name was Dr. Paul Linebarger. He was a Ph. D. scholar of Eastern Asian studies, and a deep government insider. Smith, or Linebarger, was known to be an expert in propaganda. His book, "PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE" published in 1948 is considered a classic in the field. +3370 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was impressed with how clear and grounded Donald Trump was with great examples. My brother sent me this book as a gift just as I was looking to see how I will expand my business. It was the perfect book for this time in my life. It was also great to see how the book used the Learning Annex vehicle to further illustrate with similar examples that just buttressed the examples from Donald Trump's experiences and setbacks, failures and huge successes. Wonderful read! +I understand that author Ann Hood has actually lost her young daughter and that this book is a reflection of what she went through and has continued to experience since that event occured. I admire her more than I can ever say. I admire her courage in writing about her loss as well as writing about tragedies in the lives of others in this fictional setting. +2927 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book had me hooked from the beginning! The characters were great, the sex was hot and I can't wait to read more from thus author! +1140 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Great romance, and action love story. I loved the situation and ending.

I've always regarded him as the rock upon which Victor could stand, but he kept me on the edge until the end of the book. And, beware, the end of the book is open, I was for once glad for the insight on the first chapter of Camp Hell: A Psycop Novel. +The one complaint I really have with the story is toward the end. I felt it got dragged out too long. The story could have ended 30-50 pages sooner. That would have meant cutting out a couple of major scenes in the story, but I felt those scenes just dragged down what had been a very dramatic rescue scene. By then, at least for me, it was obvious who the killer was, and the ending would have been much more satisfying if the resolution would have occurred there in the forest, in the snow storm. I'm deducting a star for that, bringing my final rating to four stars. +Review By: From Me to You ... Book Reviews +I will read it over and over, it's that good +5925 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Bookshelves +Sorry I couldn't recommend this book, especially since someone went to a good deal of effort to assemble this compendium of quotations. +1778 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I thought the book covered many great examples of the court over stepping the intent of the authors of the Constitution and explained by using well known cases as examples. It was well researched and easy to understand. All Americans should read this book to understand the courts abuse of power. + +5990 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love Patricia, and this new series is amazing, I love the characters and the storyline. Definitely recommend to Anybody +I bought the book the day it came out. I'm finished reading it now, months later. As with a few of the other reviewers, I found it very difficult to get through it. The first half was mostly food reviews and discourses. I was hoping for the wit and one sentence capturing of people and places that she used in her previous books. Not much of what she wrote made me want to visit Portugal, Spain, Naples, Fez and Burgundy. I too was a bit appalled by her lack of understanding for her fellow passengers on the Greek cruise. She had a free trip and basically denigrated the experience. Cruises aren't for everyone, but hey, most of us wouldn't turn down a free one and would try and find the best parts of the experience rather than wallowing in the worst. +For six months Gage has been hoping for a chance with Hailey. She had moved out of the complex before he worked up the courage to talk to her, but he caught her and her friends spying on him one night and has gone out of his way to make sure she has plenty to see ever since. True, blackmailing the woman for a date isn't exactly the most gallant thing he's ever done, but it got the job done. Finally. Now, if he can just manage to get through the date without opening his mouth and sticking one or both feet into it. +9050 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Wow every book written by this author is better than the last book I read from this author please hurry and write more so ready for my next great read I give this book 10 stars + +A sub-theme in BLIND MALICE is how tourism, as it continues to increase, is affecting both the culture and the physical mountains, something we can see first hand each summer. + +Steve +These same mistakes are made over and over and over again in this novel. I will say that those few snippets about the Christian Faith that Mr. Somers shared were pretty spot on, even if clumsily delivered, but that's about as far as I am willing to go to provide praise for this book. If you are bored silly, and for some reason absolutely nothing else is available and if you can get this book for free, then go ahead and read it. Otherwise spend your money on something else. C. S. Lewis' space trilogy is a better choice, or perhaps Kathy Tyers' Firebird trilogy if you can find it. Anything by Bill Myers makes this guy look worse than amateurish, though his Charismatic leanings come through pretty strongly. Look, just find something else to buy. This book isn't worth the effort. + +9922 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Filled with all the conflicts of the Regency era - this was no different. Although, there were many twists and turns that kept the story moving. I would have liked to have seen Iona expound more on her art and how intrical it was to her life, but you got the picture none the less. +She refuses to drink blood until she passes out and is given human blood which she finds an orgasmic experience. But no matter how long she goes without blood she is never attracted to her friends' blood. She does have to force herself not to rip into a chihuahua, guinea pig and parakeet. She smells the dog's blood from indoors across the street but hours in the car with her friends doesn't even make her drool. She longs to gnaw on a wing or leg. (Since when do vampire's chew meat?) If she has a thing for animals shouldn't she at least be enticed by her friend who is a were-wolf's blood. + +Haymore's writing is clean and crisp. Her book was easy to read and hard to put +8607 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A verry good book. I liked how the family is evolving love story. +I was impressed with how accurate Junot Diaz's geekology was. Every reference, every quote, is exactly right. When Oscar talks about wanting to be the next Gary Gygax, or how he broke down when Rick Hunter and Lisa finally got together, or when he refers to readers as True Believers or compares a girl's breasts to Luba from "Love and Rockets," I know exactly what he means. When I was reading this book I thought how odd and incomprehensible it must appear to those who don't parley Kirby-talk and who see Oscar's philosophizing as nothing more than decoration. I could imagine people diving for Wikipedia trying to learn what Cosmo DNA is. +2849 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a wonderful book. It has everything. I don't know how I can do it justice. I grew up in the Philippines where the same things happened. Amoung the old, there is no love for the Japanese. +and an actual ending that wraps up the story but leaves the reader wanting more. +9080 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved this book....Five stars +No one is worth mentioning but the 15 year old girl (I won't call her Alice, because that's what that pervert used to call her.) and you'll figure out her real name in the last chapter. Oh my God! no words can describe my current feelings... +8596 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I love the Attracelli family. Gus didn't catch my eye in any of the previous books, but Alana certainly did and I thought it was great to get more of her back story as well as her love story! Gus is just as sexy and alpha as the other Attracelli men, but Alana's determined to fight her attraction every step of the way. With good reason, since she's been burned pretty badly by marriage before. I love her do-gooder activities, her time with the kids, and her horror that people are more interested in whether or not she and Gus kissed last night than in giving some orphaned kids the opportunity to make it in life. +And I have to say; Booker is still one of my all time favorites in this series. He tries to put on the 'Bad Boy' image, but deep down he's one of the true good guys. He and Rebecca bot have had to fight the bad wrap in that town, so it's no wonder they became best friends. +It held my interest and I have read all of the other books that have followed after +The sisters have their own religion that involves a version of Catholicism and a mix of otherness that comes with the wooden boat mast of the black Madonna that hangs out in their living room and that they pray to saying the Hail Mary's to. Once a week they hold services there were other people in the town come to hear the message and pray and dance and touch the heart at the base of the statue. This seems odd at first, but Lily and Rosaleen quickly get swept up in it. And no one treats Lily different for being the only white person there. For a girl who has grown up without a mother, she seems to be gaining too many to count. But the happiness cannot last and T. Ray hasn't given up on finding them and August may have to send them back once Lily tells them the real reason they are there and finds out what she needs to know about her mother, which she dreads to learn at first. This book is quite wonderful and heartwarming and sometimes a bit heartbreaking. It does touch on what things were like in the South in 1964 in an honest way while at times being a bit naive when it came to Lily. I cannot recommend this book enough. +8036 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Once upon a time two cousins, Colin and Beckett de Saxby vied for the affections of the lovely Christiana. After they are grown things change. Beckett becomes the Earl of Dareford, Colin fights as a knight and Christiana works her lands under the Earl's care, while Beckett turns down every offer for her hand. +I listened to the audiobook format; well produced, with a perfect voice for Walt Longmier. +It's a bit too convenient at this end: which is for that I make 4 stars. +213 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Pigeon Tony, his grandson Frank, lawyer Judy well-written eLibrary book +3877 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Renegade's Woman by Nikita Black +1028 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Don't pick up "Stella" expecting something serious and deep.

From the moment she moves back, she is torn between lusting after him and trying to keep her distance. Soon, Trick realizes she's also brought her adolescent son (who he believes is his brother) and he wants to spend time with him. So it becomes difficult for them to maintain their distance. + + + +6846 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is really a nice series. I have so enjoyed them so far. Some it is kind of sad but that is how the west was won. look forward to the next one. + +5402 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have to honestly say, I was prepared to not like this book, however I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the book. I read he book quickly and I will read it again in the future. +4029 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Religion Explained is a wonderful discussion of mind and consciousness as well as of religion and its evolutionary origin. While I'm not certain I agree with all of the author's arguments, I did find his discussion of religion as an artifact of the way our brains are wired for different functions a more plausible and productive approach than that which tries to analyze what religion "does" for its practitioners. I think that the latter approach was thoroughly done to death over the last century when religion as a cultural behavior finally became a "legal" object of study. +3996 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A book written years ago that the author of "The Secret" found and repackaged into the book and video...quite simple and interesting...more importantly, it shows me if you are clever and articulate, you can revamp old stuff and market it into new stuff and make millions...I agree life is vibrations and am truly amazed how Rhonda took this book and changed just some words, got modern day new agers and authors to comment and the rest is history...I wish I could have been so smart...so simple, yet so ingenious.... +7767 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I was enjoying the first half of the book - not that well written, true, but I liked the hero's self-deprecating humor, also the fact that he was a broke 60-something who had to skim gas money given to him by his 80-something mom in order to buy cheap beer. Guess I'm just a sucker for the "loveable loser" type. However, as soon as he hooked up with Penny, who's somehow been pining away for him for over 40 years...I mean, it seemed pretty unlikely that she'd even have had a crush on him in high school, since she was a popular cheerleader type while he was a nerdy photo geek. The fact that she'd be available, still gorgeous, and wildly hot for him (balding, overweight, and living in his parent's basement at 60+) just was way too improbable and instantly the story took a turn deep into male wish fulfillment/fantasy. Ok, I'll give the author some credit for the fact that the wish fulfillment dream woman is 58 and not 22, but still... yeah, she's 58, all the guys in the book are hot for her, but she picks the oldest, weakest, least successful one. I'm so sure. +I enjoyed it so much that I have already purchased +A very good short story that delivers on many levels with some pretty hot sex scens +8537 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 i got this book for free and i must say it was a beautiful read. it was so full of love and heartache it was hard not to sympathize with their loss and rejoice in their reunion. wonderful read +6441 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Great short story between Guild Hunter Ashwini and the Cajun vampire, nice heat between them. Story also shows what happens to vampires who cross their Archangel makers. Hope for more interaction between the Hunter and the Cajun. +A well thought out and written novel. This book was received for free in exchange for an honest review. +PLOT: There was even LESS plot here than the product description implies. This was basically a continuation of book 1. There was no additional storyline. No additional conflict. No new bad guys. No new obstacles. It looked like Becky might have a long road to recovery after the attack- she needed to heal and to come to terms with what happened and finding out about the pumas... and that was all resolved in a couple paragraphs. Becky wasn't mad. She wasn't scared. She wasn't even badly injured. She didn't resist Simon. She didn't play hard to get. Simon didn't have to woo her or apologize. Simon supposedly had been a ladies' man- but even THAT didn't become an issue. No confrontation with Belinda or other exes. No discussion around why they never dated or expressed interest in each other sooner... NOTHING!!! More happened between these two in book 1 than here. It takes exactly one minute for Becky to just accept the existence of werecats, the fact that she's Simon's mate, and the fact that she has been turned into one. +There is plenty of action in the book. Of course, the motive for the murders is revealed near the end and I felt the book had a bit of a weak ending, but for a first novel in the series, this is a worthy effort. The cast is introduced and I am sure will be further developed as the series continues, as in the TV show. + + +7917 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 My Soul to Lose by Rachel Vincent, narrated by Amanda Ronconi + + +Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies) +What I didn't like: + +Natalie S. +Reiver raids along the border start to cause more trouble than Jareth and his not fully trained recruits can really handle-He inlists the help of a Scot clan to help with night surveilance missions. When Briana is out riding with some of the young trainees, she accidently happens upon these reivers (Trumbles men we find out)about to hang one of the Scot clans young boys-she hilariously rescues him. (This proves to be very fortunate in the emotional climax of this story for Jareth!) +Halfway through the book none of the reasons was enough to keep me going. I have only so many hours I can read each day, and I have many more lovely books waiting to be read. So. Now, I'm enjoying this one's opposite: Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. +5443 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Simon has figured out that Becky is his mate but he can't get her alone and she disappears whenever he shows up. +I think my favorite character was TDB. For a turkey, she had a lot of pluck (*snicker*)! +I came here to look for people who have used this faith to get rich, but I don't see any yet. I didn't find any with Google, either. And the author was not rich or even very successful. + + +231 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 In Lisa Scottoline's "The Vendetta Defense", Judy Carrier went and did it: she took on a case that she had no business (as in it was not part of Rosato & Associates' legal business) taking. Judy agreed to defend a man accused of murder who admits to killing--not murdering--his lifelong nemesis, in fulfillment of a vendetta. Pigeon Tony freely confesses to the crime but sees no crime in it. There are mitigating circumstances which go back to Mussolini-era Italy and reach out to a crime committed just a year before the action of the novel takes place. (Ms. Scottoline is to be applauded for vividly bringing to life this tense period.) However, none of this will matter in court if Pigeon Tony testifies, which is what he wants to do. He fails to see why he should be punished for administering a justice he so clearly sees. This is not a murder mystery so much as a "How do you defend the murderer?" legal thriller. + + +BOTTOM LINE: This book was infuriatingly dull. I would tell you not to bother reading it, except I expect you probably need to if you want to bother with the rest of the series. I'm not really sure I do at this point. Ms. Bell's The Grey Court series is MUCH better than this one- at least it has a plot. ++ Augustus + +Clarity: 1/1 + +6500 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Having Kindle on my IPhone has developed into a wonderful companion and the fact that it sychs with my Kindle allows my IPHONE to be a multitasker and keeps both in the same location. So I may pickup my Kindle with the larger fonts and other capability when I am at home and travel around with my IPHONE; a wonderful convenience. This document un-locks the how to make it happens, worth the time. +I started this book right before bed thinking I would only read a few pages before falling asleep. I couldn't put it down and read it right through. This book was disturbing and yet extremely thought provoking. It was icky, but beautiful. Ultimately it was extremely well written and will invade your thoughts; and if you are like me and a parent, you will hug your kids and keep them close. +7041 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 There's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Longmire. Walt Longmire. Walt has a cast of characters that both complement and challenge him, with Henry Standing Bear and Victoria Moretti receiving prominent attention. Small town life never sounded so good or so mystical. The scenes are painted to perfection by a man who certainly knows and appreciates his craft, the scenery of Wyoming, and the complicated relationships between two people that slowly develop over time. And that's the way this book reads. +3190 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this book and have told everyone to get it. I'm looking for more of by this other. + +I have so many more questions after reading this book, than I had when I started it. +5113 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 ... which is not all bad. I like them both--they have much the same information & coverage all though often from a slightlly different angle. + +3050 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 reads like a encyclopedia account but does give all the facts! +9029 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This was a great book! An alpha male and, for once, an alpha female! I'm so tired for TSTL, wimpy women. This book shows Monette's progress in her writing and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, his growling was mentioned a lot but I thoroughly enjoyed it! Linnea Sinclair used to write less soap opera and more enjoyable, adventurous reads and it looks like the author has taken that aspect of sci-fi/romance but made it her own. Great story! +- ribbon bookmark + +4. Searching the Text - At first, when I tried to search for a given text string, I received that error message saying that the book was not yet indexed and to try later. I've run into that before with a book on Kindle when I've opened it for the first time. But, after reading a while, after turning the pages a number of times, that problem cleared up with this book - as it has with other books in the past. I think that, with some books, the Kindle isn't immediately synchronized to the searchable text, but at some point, synchronization occurs and, once it does, there are no further problems. So, read for a bit, and you'll find everything is copacetic when it comes to searching the text. + +I didn't like the guy, as I really shouldn't have. I did like that he was given a bit of a back story, a little bit of a reason for why he turned out the way he did, why he likes what he does. I didn't like it, but still. + + +229 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Awesome book! Enjoyed very much, you will enjoy this author's books because of the "short" chapters and easy reading. I love, love, love Lisa Scottoline's books ! +Definitely worth reading. And, if you haven't read Alien Agenda, get them both. + +6848 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I enjoyed reading this book very much. If you like good western stories you will also enjoy it. It is a worthwhile purchase and good reading. +Rory is a strong and interesting main character, and Bridget is the irritating little sister who makes things worse by trying to help. The author has managed to balance serious ideas (like global warming and the Indian/Colonist conflict) with lighthearted moments (like a rat and squirrel kung fu fighting). The story jumps back and forth between Manhattan and Mannahatta, until they merge with Rory's full understanding. Which is a little bit confusing until you figure out who everyone is. +The Gracie Allen Murder Case - 1938 + +Four really good novellas. The Maggie Shayne one was my least favorite of the four. + + + +Tanya +- Jake is lovely. I like the idea of an uber-masculine man caring deeply about someone else and turning to putty when the other person is around; this is why I'm so anxious to see whether Langley follows through with the next romance in the series in particular. +I saw somewhere that the characters of Winnie the Pooh were based off of different psychological disorders. I found this picture to show that theory. +- a peep-through window to the full color case +3810 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Touched by the same fate that haunted her brother all his life, Veronica doesn't know that she is an unreliable narrator. Or perhaps she does. In trying to make sense of her brother's life she is perhaps only vaguely aware that she is trying to make sense of her own. Just as she discovers what had happened to her brother, the truth is not very pretty, devastating, in fact. Which makes it all the more remarkable and understandable that the truth she was keeping from herself she only now, as a result of her brother's demise, allowed herself to reclaim. The more we know about Veronica the more we realize that the harsh picture she depicts of those with whom she is in relationship with, her husband in particular, are not as flawed as she makes them out to be. The flaws lie firmly in her body and soul and were sown in the past, along with her brother, now deceased. +6597 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I see this as somewhat of a young adult novel. I'll read anything as long as the story is good. +443 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 While heavily researched and accurately told, the main character, the woman, is just this side of sane, but her discussions with herself seemed insane. I'm grateful I waited for this to go on sale, because @ 59% read, I quit reading it. Big disappointment! +Christina has been fighting her attraction to TJ and Jon for a long time, she doesnt' trust men and from their physical size, she's sure the can't trust them. In addition she can't decide which one she's attracted to if she can overcome her trust issues. She's heard rumors but they couldn't possibley be true, could they? +9065 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I am not really into paranormal type of books. I prefer more realistic type stores. It's wasn't too bad. It was a light hearted story about love + +For a novella, the story and characters are remarkably well-developed. It's just the right length for someone who doesn't have much time on their hands to read before going to sleep at night to induce some very vivid dreams. There are some questions left unanswered in Rachel's Totem, but, fortunately, the other novels in the Cougar Falls series will clear them right up. +Wildwood Dancing is about five sisters who disobey their father and go out into the woods to dance with the fairy folk late one night. One of them falls in love, and can't stay away from her other worldly lover, gradually becoming more fairy than human, herself. +729 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The NY times is great to read. It's a little expensive, in my opinion for an e-reader version so I don't buy it often. But when I do, I enjoy reading this news paper. +So here's my tip: if you want to really enjoy this book, read a quick primer on Norse mythology first. It will be worth it. I know I'll be reading up a little before the second installment. +I highly recommend this book for everyone who enjoys being young at heart, who recalls the bittersweet joys of growing up, who enjoys fairytale retellings and realistic fantasy, who likes realistic romances and practical characters, and who likes storytelling-type books. +Nothing about this story will disappoint. And while Micah and Tucker are the focus of the story, the whole Delany family and Micah's uncle are important characters who enrich the story. Anyone who enjoys hot cowboys and loving families will enjoy this story. - Karin +1322 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is an excellent book that explores the idea that we and the world around us are more intimately related/connected than we have previously thought. I enjoyed this mind-expanding read quite a bit. My favorite section is on the Creative Observer. It's a great book. +1443 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Wow! I ;thought it was a bit slow going at first, but then I was hooked. This is an awesome book. I highly recommend it! + +9552 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 The book was choppy and at many times left you with a 'WTF?' kind of confusion. While it did address the very real problem of domestic violence, this author dropped the ball on just about everything else. The heroine annoying, pure and simple. When a woman's MOTHER tell you to leave him, YOU LEAVE! +I would highly recommend this book to all those who enjoy tasty paranormal romances. +2768 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Well, people who have told me that "Living Dead Girl" was a horrifying book were absolutely correct. This is definitely one of the most depressing and scary stories I have ever read. Basically every sentence of this novel is a painful assault on your psyche. The descriptions of daily physical, psychological and sexual abuse are almost impossible to bear. +6090 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Eckhart and friends deserve credit for creating one of the few non-denominational spiritual books out there for children. Anyone interested in mindfulness, and OK with discussions of 'light' as opposed 'God', will appreciate this book. I did find it a bit wordy and overly philosophical/intellectual at points - trying too hard perhaps to be true to Eckhart's adult teachings - but that is a minor flaw. +When Dom was in his twenties he was involved in a short, very intense relationship with Laura Vasquez, a beautiful, very reserved and brilliant artist. Dom had been besotted, head over heels in love with Laura, however it ended in betrayal when she suddenly married Huey Mays, a cop and creepy slimeball ten years her senior. Laura never explained to Dom why she did it. He only knew she left him devastated. He tried hard over the years to extinguish the torch he carried for Laura. However, it continued to smolder and at times burn brightly. +2826 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Nina is a thirty-something woman, impulsive, independent and very foul-mouthed. She's very strong, until the day she wakes up being a vampire! With the help of her best friends, she went looking for her "creator", only to find more troubles than she wanted. +4234 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One of my favorite children stories. I bought it as a Christmas gift. +4108 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great!!! + +18 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Luckily, I listened to this book while I exercised rather than read it and found that Douglass's straightforward uncomplicated literary style directly complimented the mindless activity I strove to accomplish. This is not to say that I thought the book uninteresting or boring in any way. On the contrary, the storyline moves along, albeit the pre-historical plotline jars pathetically with the author's modern jargon leaving the reader no choice but to roll one's eyes upward in utter amazement at the blatant inconsistency. + + +810 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Finally a lifestyle that makes sense +5102 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have one complaint about this book, and that is that the book did not seduce my wife into buying a puppy. + Some accused him of racism, although he rejected racist explanations early, forcefully, and often. That criticism is not only unsupported by Diamonds book, its insulting to the reader. +5186 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've always been interested in my finances and my husband and I jointly manage our family's finances so we both know what's going on. A friend at church was talking about Dave Ramsey and I had never heard of him before so I decided to look him up and see what kinds of books he wrote. I found this book to be a popular choice of his and I didn't know how much of it would interest me so I ended up borrowing it from the library initially. I enjoyed his writing and found the information to be helpful so I decided to purchase my own copy to reference at home. +9758 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this short story. it's a complete story, not an introductory chapter with cliff hangers, which is nice! + +3245 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 love everything faye kellerman writes. how she intertwines the family life of decker and lazarus..with the excitement of the mystery. luv them +7062 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I've got a number of Dickens' books as real books, so having them on Kindle as well is a bonus.

Four stars because the ending felt unfinished. +The whole idea of "feeling at home" suggests that an individual needs to discover the in-depth reality of the people, culture and everyday life experiences of each destination. What fun Mayes has as she processes each experience with wonder. + + Jim Richards, our good guy, is sarcastic and smart, about some stuff. The rest of the cast of characters range from the scruffy to to the TV personality. The narrative style speeds the story along with enough plot twists to keep you guessing. In other words, I really loved this book! + +Overall, however, Men in Black isn't quite the incredible work of constitutional writing that some of its endorsers claim. Mark Levin seems upset at the Supreme Court more for the trend toward more liberal thinking than for its supposed violations of the U.S. Constitution. If the Supreme Court was violating the Constitution in favor of a position that he and his fellow conservatives approve, then I doubt he would say anything about it. He also seems to believe that the will of the people is sufficient to trample on rights. It all adds up to a less than average book that fails to convince me of its initial premise: That the U.S. Supreme Court has excessive power and wields too much influence. It's a nice effort, but it doesn't quite convince. +Recommended for fans of historical and/or paranormal erotica. +1374 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Just a fun read for a quick dose of laughter the Barbara way. She could always find a way to make us all laugh the best medicine. + + +8404 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This was quirky, sexy and fun to read. Really entertaining and I will more than likely read more from this author. +1665 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 After reading the sample for this I was disappointed by the rest of it. It seemed like there would be more mature writing and a deeper plot. However, the plot is rather simple and most of the characters feel two dimensional and at times almost annoying. Laine and one of the other characters in particular were weak characters. The focus on them was mainly on them being clumsy and I would say immature. Now while this can be a part of a character, no one is perfect after all, there was no depth added to make that clumsy characteristic endearing or to show that Laine could act like more than a teenager. At least the book had more than sex and there was plot progession, but I wouldn't advise anyone to buy this story, even for the cheap price. It's short and doesn't really make the reader feel any emotion. +752 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love the reporters- I wish the new home delivery carrier understood the delivery instructions--aim for the Front Door - but I enjoy it when it gets here. +Though I could hardly stand to read about the trials that Anna and her husband, Harley, faced, this was a compelling story. As a mother I could really relate to Anna's anguish as she worried for her children. As a wife I could relate to the realistic portrayal of the woman left to hold house and home together. And, as a reader, I wanted to pummel the creep of a "friend" who believed he was acting in Anna's best interest--at the expense of Harley. +Missy Leason has to get away from her pack, the alpha is corrupt and as the widow of his brother, he has every intention of mating with her. But Missy knows what he plans and she'd rather die than submit to him. While away on a trip for her job, she plans to escape and find another pack and if she can't do that she will assume her wolf form and live as a wolf. +--- Phyllis Zimbler Miller, co-founder of Miller Mosaic Power Marketing +8321 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 same here family group they are all very good reads +Karigan was a brave young woman who left her school cos she fought an aristocrat and she was only a merchant daughter. Not fair at all. When she then met the Rider she could have said no (of course the magic urged her on), but she wanted to do what was right and she also wanted an adventure. And that she sure got because on her journey she met funny old ladies, monsters, bandits, and saw the how angry the people in the north are. I liked her because even though it got tough she never gave up. Then we have the evil guys. The king's brother wants the throne and the Grey Man uses magic to make people do his will. He is an evil killer and he has also made a crack in a wall that separates the badlands from the rest of the world. I liked the Grey Man, as much as one can like an evil guy. He was just a good bad guy. All evil and nothing at all to like about him. +The first chapters were interesting. Even though the premise is so cliche --- secretary falls in love with rich boss --- the book started well. Then we find out from H's POV that he likes the h too. So that's cool. But of course h is portrayed as this super naive 20+ virgin, totally unaware of her own attraction. +- a peep-through window to the full color case +2651 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I prefer Elizabeth as an extremely intelligent and strong character and she seemed less able to cope with some of her trials. The love affair, the tensions, and resolutions were well done. +84 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I unfortunately didn't see the movie,but if the movie was half as good as the book I am certain that it was definitely a successful venture.

We get to spend a little time with our past favorites- Regina, Zander, Lux and more and we get a great addition in Kit's cousin Max, who I can't wait to see more of. + +But so much has changed in the years since he left especially Garrett. He had lost his memory when injured at Waterloo and spent his years as a peasant farmer basically in servitude to stay alive. However, when William Fisk finds him in Belgium everything again seems to fall into place for Garrett. Fisk and his twin brother had served under him at Waterloo and when Fisk sees him in Belgium he brings him back to his former life. Fisk appears to be Garrett's salvation but not everyone in convinced of this - mainly Sophie. How is it this man, Fisk, is so conveniently around to find Garret and to be his salvation. She is leery of this man and truly does not think he is on Garrett's side. +OK, about this particular story. It's a happy ever after short story, the only thing that makes is unusual, and the reason I read it in the first place, is that it involves Charles, whom we've seen before, and I like him. Then you add Anna, who is at the very bottom of her pack structure and you get a sense of how bad things could be in werewolf culture without a Marrok to try to keep their world, if not safe, at least relatively fair. This is a book about unfair getting it's just reward. The plot is in how it comes about. Very quickly you realize that Anna is being victimized and that Justice is going to be served. I'd like it better longer, but it is a prequel. I admit to thinking that it's overpriced for a novella and if I were taking that into account I'd only give it 3 stars for value, but based just on the pleasure of reading the story, for that it's a good 5 star read. +7878 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I couldn't put this book down. I love murder mysteries, and this was a good one. Every time I had time to read, I was thinking "Oh, good, I get to read some more of this book!"

The humor injected into even the most disturbing scenario made for enjoyable reads throughout. +A second story is then introduced where it's five years later. It's discovered that Hayden has spent time in prison. His spirit is crushed, he's taken to excessive drinking, and he's a shell of the man he was earlier. Josh is now a policeman and cares a great deal for Hayden, though Hayden doesn't believe it because Josh never once visited him in prison or afterward. To make matters worse, a serious accident in the past has robbed Hayden of memories of the event that destroyed his life. +5836 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Really good read. Love this author. Fast paced with some historical references thrown in. I love this series of books. + +Which brings me to the narrator. People have praised this book for its "unique" and "authentic" narrator, but I despised the voice used for this novel. I didn't mind the slang and Spanish mixed into the book, but the profanity and frequent use of the N-word nearly made me stop reading altogether at some points. Foul language alone usually isn't enough to make me stop reading, but there is such a thing as too much. Also Yunior is just as nasty in his assessment and description of Oscar and his life as the characters who bully and abuse him, and it makes for unpleasant reading. + +1276 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner, this is a heartbreakingly honest tale about a 2nd-generation Dominican-American, Oscar de Leon, who has everything working against him. Obscenely overweight, with a penchant for sci-fi and using huge ponderous words which no one uses (or understands), his hip-quotient is sorely impeded whether in New Jersey where he lives or Santo Domingo where his family originates. Nonetheless, Oscar falls hopelessly in love with one hot chico after another who would rather cross the street than to walk by him. And to add to all that misery, he has the family fuku (or curse) that has transcended down the generations to contend with. +The book contains 18 chapters and are almost equally divided into three main areas: +1.

'Globalization' has clearly demonstrated only that the 'race to the bottom' inherent in the inner workings of capitalism is continuing at full throttle. Moreover, the contradictions and boom/bust cycles of capitalism have not been resolved. And those results have not been pretty for the peoples of the world. +The problem with this empirical observation is that before there was a steam mill there already existed an industrial capitalist society that not only contained the requisite industrial capitalist mode of production that manufactured the necessary constituent parts that went into the creation of the steam mill (there were many companies involved in the problem-solving for and manufacture of components that went into a steam engine), but this pre-steam mill society also contained an already sophisticated industrial capitalist labor force that made the constituent parts for the steam mill, not to mention built the steam mill itself. Contemporaneous with the industrial capitalist production of steam engines, there existed the production of the machines that the steam engines would power. In other words, the steam mill presupposes an already functioning industrial capitalist society! Marx's rebuke to Proudhon is a tautological response that also fails to recognize that a steam engine is made up of independently manufactured parts that predates the manufacture of a steam engine with those independently manufactured parts! Marx fails to mention this double inconsistency with his material "productive forces" empirical observation. +The h is a strong, successful female trying to have it all and the H is a laid back guy who woos her into questioning her life choices. I love this authors characters, they rarely disappoint. It is a cute story, not a lot of angst, a little predictable but I really enjoyed it. +As a no-nonsense widow and the mother of a young adult daughter, Sophia is mindful of her family's needs, while still being very aware of her own as a woman. When the death of her husband left her as part-owner in his business, she never hesitated to roll up her sleeves and work in the family business alongside her friend and partner, Ethan. She knows Ethan would do anything for her, but worries that her growing romantic ideas about him are born of their close proximity and her dependence on his presence in her life. While she is ready to admit her feelings, she needs time away to be sure of them before running the risk of damaging their friendship. +8322 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The irony of this story is captivating. I didn't want to put it down but sleep had other plans, but quickly finished upon waking. The connection and emotion displayed by both Erik and Ana was heartfelt. I laughed out loud when Ana read the newspaper but you'll need to read the book to discover it for yourself. Believe me and other fans that you won't be disappointed. + +Ley + +[...] +7813 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I must have missed putting this review in. I actually read this book quite a while ago, and have since read it 2 more times. It was really good. I think most people will really enjoy this ride. +I can't say that I actually liked this book, but reading it was definitely an eye opener. Being a mother of two young girls I know that I will never read this story again, it hurts my heart far too much, but I definitely recommend that everyone read this book at least once if only to give yourself a different perspective on abuse. +8846 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Georgette Heyer is a past Master at Historical events, even Regency Romances are delightful, funny, mysterious and so very much enjoyable! +As for exercise, I also worked construction as a pipefitter for a few years and while eating a diet of protein and natural rbs similar to their 'pared' amounts touted in this book and I never lost an ounce. In fact I never lost any weight in my life except on the Atkin's diet by first cutting back to zero carbs for a couple weeks, and adding very few back if I wanted to keep it off. +2878 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I like all of the books so far and am awaiting season 6 on DVD.

This allowed me to get my feet wet with erotica romance. KEEPER +The title essay has Raymond Chandler's thoughts on the detective story. Fiction has always tried to be realistic, but tastes change (perceptions of reality). Detective stories often outsell the best-sellers of yesteryear (perhaps because the situations they describe are always current, even if the language and costumes change). Chandler contrasts the writings of Hammett and others to the classic post-WW One fiction (which is usually contained in the houses of the rich and powerful). Chandler lists the problems with A.A. Milne's "The Red House Mystery". They are too contrived, and disregard life in the real world. The realism of Hammett (and others) is how they describe the world that is seldom reported in your daily newspaper, except obliquely ("Zoning Board Adopts Changes"). This essay offers wisdom and an overview of detective stories. +Now, since actual labor is required for there to be potential value, and there is no actual labor to speak of, then the potential imputation of labor value into machines/commodities is zero, and therefore Marx's Law of Value is in error. +6056 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 this is the second book to two sighted it carries on with the best friend. It was a good read,however it seem to be lacking just a touch. If you read the first book you will want to read this one. + +9899 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved this book. The story was unique and the author did a wonderful job moving from present day to 500 years ago. I really enjoyed how Catherine and Drew came to know each other in the medieval times. There were quite a few typos in the e-book, which were annoying but nothing that couldn't easily be figured out. +When I first met Remi in Without Reservations he was the somewhat homophobic best friend of Chayton Winston, a veterinarian and mate of Keaton Reynolds. Initially it was difficult for me to accept Remi in a gay relationship as well as the change in his personality, however the author provided a plausible explanation for his change of mind about Chay's and Keaton's relationship as well as the major shift in his own sexual orientation. It seems that Remi had a deep, dark secret that he had never admitted to himself or anyone else until it's almost too late. +6886 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Fans of Longmire will love this. Same cast as the TV series. +6433 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Angels' Pawn is an introduction to the world that we'll learn more about in Angels' Blood (due out 3/3/2009). A world where angels and vampires not only co-exist, but have an interesting connection. As a Guild Hunter, one of those that hunts rogue vampires down for the angels, Ashwini finds herself suddenly stuck between two vampire factions, and the angel wanting to manipulate them all, in Atlanta. She turns, for help, to Janvier, a vampire himself - who may have his own reasons for assisting her. +It's forgiveable that the conversations and attitudes were more 21st than 19th century, and that Ms. Haymore glossed over the social implications of Sophie's position. This is such an innovative story and those things were necessary to the plot. The writing was a bit clunky especially in the first half of the book, but improved considerably once the action got underway. I did get a little tired of Sophie's angstiness, and there were several chapters where nothing much happened, but something about this book makes me want to read the next one. Three and a half stars rounded up to four. I liked it. +5895 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 From other reviewers' descriptions and the title of this story, I'm pretty sure that this is the same story as in the "On the Prowl" anthology. While I enjoyed the story a lot in that book as a romantic urban supernatural fantasy, and I like Karen Chance's world, I don't feel the need to buy it again. Just a caution for anyone in the same position. +We originally purchased these for our 12 year old daughter and I picked up the first book one day in the office and pleasantly enjoyed it...now I am hooked! This series is a great read for adults too and gives another connection point with the kids in discussing them. +One thing that really annoys me when reading any book is when the story ends within 70% and the rest is excerpts from other books. +1846 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Iove All of Brenda Jackson's books. the characters are Intriguing, funny and extremely romantic.

But the ending ruined it for me. Don't worry, I won't give away the ending here! It's a completely subjective thing, but I strongly felt that Sophie made the wrong choice, and I didn't feel that her internal dialogue or her actions gave me a reason to understand why she made the decision she did. I felt very, very bad for the person who was left out in the cold, and it just felt depressing. Plus, the ending seemed fantastical to me -- there is NO WAY the situation would have been resolved like that in regency English peerage. In the end, I just felt annoyed with Sophie and heartbroken for the one left alone. + +So we start with a young girl in a kind of slavery, and we end with her in a different kind of slavery, albeit less abusive. We start with her knowing precisely nothing about exactly what happened that fateful day when her mom was shot, and we end with her knowing precisely nothing about exactly what happened that fateful day when her mom was shot. We start with her living a sheltered life, and we end with her living a sheltered life. We start with her having a father and no mother, and we end with her having a father and no mother. Rosaleen starts out as a housekeeper, and she ends-up as a housekeeper. She starts out unregistered to vote, and she ends-up unregistered to vote. +3534 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is an older installment in the Levin franchise, and it is one of the more historically based books. This is not to say the others are not based on a foundation of fact, rather the draw more heavily from works the posit a certain version of the future. THis one, however, draws heavily upon Constitutional history to make points. I found this refreshing because it showed me that the conservative commentator can be informed, not simply opinionated. This just made the book a really impressive work. The main point of the book is that the unchecked power of the judiciary has gone too far, and is threatening the individual freedom that American citizens enjoy. +The story is told in first-person from the POV of Sir Dardanus, but what makes that unique for me is that he's really an anti-hero, "a bastard and ne'er-do-well, a murderer and a seducer of women." Just what won't this man do in order to get what he desires? Even at the end, I was still a bit uncertain about what he'd actually do, and with the way the author left the final page, I have to wonder how or if this romance will continue. I choose to see hope and promise there, mixed with the darkness. +I'm with Janine. She is a girl whose face is regularly in the society page. She is the CEO of her family's foundation. Marring her image will destroy the foundation's as well. A thirty-year-old executive should know better than to jump into a potential PR nightmare. +6574 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Mr. Simon's writing style set my teeth on edge: unnecessary words, run-on sentencess, zen punctuation, and chaotic syntax (I shot an elephant in my pajamas; how he got in my pajamas I'll never know). I'm not looking for perfect English... just a style that does not get in the way. Judicious editing might have sharpened the prose, as well as addressing issues mentioned by other readers. + +6158 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I admit that I'm not particularly well-versed in fantasy, but I think this is a good starter series to anyone interested in reading fantasy. It covers a lot of bases: magic, good vs. evil, underdogs, elf-like magical people...overall not a bad book at all. +4755 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is probably the best book I have read which clearly and easily explains the Gospel as Jesus did.

I thought the main conflict would be about Jenny. But Will had an even greater problem resulting in years of thinking and behaving in a reclusive manner. Jenny helps Will overcome his past. Will helps Jenny overcome her present. + +--A satisfactory mystery ends in the reader simultaneously exclaiming, "Wow! I didn't see that coming! and "In retrospect, the clues were there all along." I could only say the former. I may have missed the hidden trail, but to me it seemed that most or all the information that made the culprit plausible was presented at the same time as the culprit's identity. +Cotton comes face to face with the range war when nightriders from Circle L attack a farm one night. Crops are destroyed, the house burned down, the husband killed and one of the daughters is raped and murdered. Soon the news spreads that Circle L has hired Jack Crow, a Mississippian gunslinger with a nasty reputation. And this worries Cotton. He cooks up a plan to help control the coming war in Doubtful: new laws banning gunfire and horse riding in town. He also seeks help from any ranch riders who don't want blood on their hands. But will any of his efforts pay off, or will he become one of the causalities of the loudening ranch war? + + +Levin offers readers an outstanding discussion of the most important court cases in our nation's history. Many of them I had read about before but have long since forgotten. His discussion of religion in Chapter 3 and the establishment clause was thoroughly enlightening. Specifically, we see how cases like Everson v. Board of Education created the fallacious doctrine of there being a "wall of separation" between church and state. Justice Rehnquist's opinion in Wallace v. Jeffree illustrates the method by which this notion was created. "Justices in the Bedroom" in Chapter Five was a standout as well, but most topical was Chapter Ten, "Silencing Political Debate." To what extent does McCain-Feingold erode our liberties? Right now it's hard to say. I agree with the author that advertising is speech, and the recent letter Obama sent to the Justice Department concerning the William Ayers ad put out by a 527 organization is an example of how the left will take advantage of any loophole as a means to silence their critics. Overall, we are not as free as we used to be and Mark Levin's Men in Black illustrates why this is the case. + +3292 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Fast moving mystery series with an emphasis of Jewish living. The author skillfully weaves the rules and possible concerns, such as kosher food, for living throughout the stories. The reader is never lost or confused with the plot twists. Believable characters, dialogue and story lines. This series crimes are graphic at times. +3824 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I have had good luck with Booker prize winners but not with this one. It is very annoying when the first few chapters demonstrate interesting writing and good potentials for the plots and then it just stops, not going anywhere. Nothing signficant happens until page 142, and even that is not very interesting at all. Throughout the book, there is numerous unnecessary mentioning of sex, as if it is from one of SNL sketches where it gets mentioned randomly (remember one of the sketches with Tom Hanks where "penis" is said multiple times?). I get that sex is relevant to this story, afterall, perpetual pregnant state of the protagonist's mother is a ubiquitous reminder of sex but in this case, just too random and feels almost too cheap. + +While Veronica may have wanted to tell Liam's story, by the end of the book I knew precious little about him - she focuses instead on Ada and Lamb, and a large part of that story appears to have come out of her own imagination. It also becomes obvious that she hates men in general, and Tom - her poor husband - appears to be utterly baffled as to where some of her comments are coming from. (It's never made clear where this hatred came from and I finished the book wondering exactly what had happened to Veronica). Somehow, she oblivious to her hatred, and apparently confuses poison and bitterness with insight and wisdom. She frequently refers to herself as "the one who loved him [Liam] the most" - a line that I found harder and harder to believe the more and more she said it. A struggle, and not a book I'd recommend - though I would say it was more deserving of the 2007 Booker Prize than "On Chesil Beach". +Tribe A saved more by looking for food less, placing that saved time into creating a net that would increase the catch of fish. We can say that Tribe A has a greater productive edge than does Tribe B, whose members are still using sharpened sticks to catch fish--very laborious and relatively unproductive. +This story is set in the old west and the budding romance/lust between an English widow and her next door neighbor the local sheriff.

Naturally, adventures, romances, and intrigues ensue for one of the greatest female characters in all literature: the courageous, spunky, strong, sexy, brilliant, wily, heroic Jacky Faber. As with all the Jacky Faber adventures, the book is full of high action and adventure, refreshingly strong characters, and fascinating history (refreshingly lively, not bogged down in didactic details, which is unique both for its audience and the genre). Meyer also throws in clever literary and pop culture references (such as Gone With the Wind and Casablanca) that place Jacky in a literary and historical fantasy world. This series is clever, refreshing, mature, and fun, a great beach-read that stands out as the very best of the young adult and historical genre. That said, the plot of this one is a bit weak, and the cast of characters has become so large that many have become very two-dimensional. Which is a shame. Still, brilliant. Grade: A- +The first time we met Nina was at The Accidental Werewolf, and she was the toughest girl I have ever known. Of course, she doesn't know how to be a vampire, and the firsts chapters are all about her dealing with her inner-vampire and whining.

At the time of my review I see 67 5-Star or 4-Star reviews. Nothing below that. I can believe it. I just finished reading the 4th book in this series and I was very impressed. Somehow John writes a story for young adults but does not sugar-coat it, and makes it very readable for adults like me (over 50+ yrs). The characters are well developed and the author makes sure each character has his or her fair share of "prime time". By not sugar-coating the story, I mean this story features many fighting scenes, and a well detailed battle. People fight and die on both sides of the battle. Remember the A-Team TV show? Bullets zipping all over the place, explosions, and cars crashing and flipping over and yet, no one ever died! Not even hurt too bad. Talk about watered down violence! John manages to walk a fine line here, he does not write the battle scenes too easy or too gory. I am very much a Die Hard type of reader/movie viewer, but I am very much in the storyline and characters of the Ranger's Apprentice. I would love to see a movie version of this series. + +http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525479295?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s03 +Tribe A saved more by looking for food less, placing that saved time into creating a net that would increase the catch of fish.

This is a sweet loving story of a woman learning more about herself with the help of two men who love her. Wonderful story from a great author! +3898 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 While I usually like this author's work, I did not like this. Spoiler alert! The reason I did not like this and why I gave it one star is it is not adequately described in the product listing. It should have a genre notation that tells you that it has a prominent BDSM aspect to the two main characters relationship. I would not have purchased this had I been given that information in the description. I do not enjoy that type of story and it destroyed the story for me. That stated, if you like that type of subject matter, you will likely enjoy the book. It does have some glaring grammatical errors, such as the incorrect use of objective and subjective pronouns, and mixed tense in the same sentence. A good editor might have helped, but it is not nearly as bad grammatically as many e-books these days. +Comments: +The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing +2566 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 No matter how old I get these poems never fail to make me feel like a child again.

I recommend this book and the series + +5647 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 loved it + +These short stories aren't Marlowe, they are still set in the seedy LA of the 30s but were written for the pulps. You'll find dark mysteries, motives and some occasional humor. If you are a fan of Chandler or of the noir detective searching in a rainy night this is for you. +This book had me laughing out loud. Especially when Horry arrives back home after proposing to the Earl, in his carriage, to the shock of her family. She then announces that he has agreed to marry her instead and that she's convinced him to be a Patron to Edward. Her family can hardly believe it, they have to whip out the smelling salts so the mom won't faint. But true to his word, the Earl arrives that afternoon to officially ask for Horry's hand in marriage. +The heroes, Marc and Blake, and the heroine, Kate, find themselves fighting on the same side against the demons set on destroying the world. The emotional drama the characters find themselves in draws the reader into the story as Marc and Blake join Kate's military group to try to close the demon rip, and find themselves attracted to Kate. They each try to get her attention as they deal with their own personal issues with each other. Kate is equally attracted to them both, but doesn't know what to think or do about that, besides she is on a mission and doesn't need the complication. +At the heart of the story are two very different, but engrossing romances. Eldest sister Tati's forbidden love follows a fairly predictable pattern, but it's still a good story. Jena's romance is a more unusual one and very satisfying. + +Susan Wiggs has many books available and each stands on its own merits. Thank you Susan! +4510 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Okay, um, wow! Living Dead Girl was just all types of disturbing. It's horrible how numb "Alice" is to everything that's going on around her.

He keeps saying it's in the past don't let it color the future. Everything that happened to them in the past affects their future as well as present. He claims that his family life isn't relevant to his life now, but his whole mindset was from the past and I find it hard to believe that as a two year old he would have had that type of mindset. Easier to believe it of Francesca. Given his explanation it didn't seem to wash because frankly had she taken the time, by investigating things, she could have discovered that her father had a similar story too. So because of his his past he had "short-term relationships with air-heads who couldn't possibly match (his) intellect, or interest (him) in any way other than physically. . . ". But for some reason he remained friends with these women and would even go out with them. That would imply that their relationships were more than just physical it would mean that he enjoyed their company.

Right from the beginning, I could see how well-put together this story is, lots of descriptive detail, dynamic character and easy dialogue. I love short stories, and it's not that easy to take short fiction and pack it with substance and intrigue.

The whole development of the relationship between Max and Ryan is believable and they don't just hop into bed right away.

And he really redeemed himself at the end. +All in all, it's a light, uncomplicated paranormal romance series. Something to read for fun when you have time. It is light and romantic enough to be soothing. I will save the next one for a day when I need a little escape. + +I liked the plot idea. Lissianna is an 200 year old vampire, she has no problem biting down on a neck but in these modern times most blood comes in bad. And Lissi has one big problem, she faints at teh sight of blood.

There's a sense of pleasure in the knowledge that she hasn't let Peter's betrayal destroy her. +9565 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Strange Marriage of Anne de Bourgh is an anthology encompassing three Pride and Prejudice related scenes that were once apart of Skylar Burris's novel An Unlikely Missionary. In the Introduction, Ms. Burris explains that while revising An Unlikely Missionary, it became necessary for these scenes to be cut. But because they were some of her favorite scenes, she opted to tweak them a little and publish them in this compilation. These three scenes are scrumptious little morsels that will be sure to stave off your hunger for some Jane Austen! +The book deserves the hype and good reviews that has had in the past years. My only criticism is that the book is sometimes a bit soap-opera-ish, even thought the story does not linger on anything that is not accurate. +1759 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Love Maggie Shayne! This book has several stories in it and they all come together. Very good read. I recommend it. + +Keep up the good work Maren!!! +1218 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 In a nutshell, Susan Wiggs has done it again! I have always enjoyed series and having them bundled into one book was a convenient, time-saving enterprise. All three books were superb, life-like stories with a bit of history thrown in. Highly recommended companions to snuggle next to a warm fire... +The book in my opinion was largely about young people trying to make their way in the world. They live in an industrial society where you must first be educated or apprenticed before you make a living. This was true back in the 1800s and is still true today so modern readers will recognize the struggles and pitfalls of the characters. +There are a few battles between some group called the Speicans and a lot of good life lessons for Aislinn. There were a few fire breathing dragons doing a flyby or two and my eyebrow did go up when the half lion/half eagle creature "mind talked" to Aislinn. (What was that about anyway?? Nothing came of that at all...) +From his personal experience he gives great advice on everything from retirement to cutting down the credit card debt. This book is organized in an easy to read format and I like it better than the other editions. +1448 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was interested in reading this book after watching Oprah Winfrey' s Super Soul Sunday. I watched Sue Monk Kidd on her show and they discussed the book so I decided to get it. I could not put it down . And I am so happy I read it and I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I loved it. +if you like guy on guy action..even when one of the guys isn't particularly interested then this is the book for you..i couldn't bare to finish it... + +6205 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This story takes place in the waning years of Henry VIII's regime and exposes all of the power and politics of the era. The story is a love story about a woman who expected to marry someone but did not. Years later she has the chance to save him from certain death and she does, starting a romance and political intrigue at the same time.

But will his final act of love break the family from the curse's power? Will his future niece, Lola's daughter, be spared the sorrow and pain of the fuk? Either way, Oscar risks it all to love and to finally feel love in return. +7731 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Meaning I read it from start to finish, you guessed it, in one sitting. It doesn't happen very often. The storyline has to be really good. The characters have to be really engaging, or even lovable. I can't be able to figure everything out, at least til near the end. And almost as important as the rest, I need to get a laugh out of it once in a while. This book fit all those criteria in spades. +928 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed this book. It takes place long ago, but the ideas in it are timeless. Our modern society puts men and women on equal footing, but this book tells us that there are some areas in which men and women have differing talents, in general. But women can be business people, which was rare at the time this takes place. I loved the characters in this story, and admired their perseverance. I was a little leery of the title, wondering if it was going to be a lurid story. It isn't. +4729 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Shortly after starting to read this book, it came to "About the Author." It's over? Already? That was one short book and really leaves the reader hanging. There was little or no substance to the book. The beginning started out with promise but quickly moved to graphic sex scenes. And then it ended. I wouldn't have considered this a finished book if I had been the editor. A rough draft or an idea presentation is all it was at best. +My favorites: +2669 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 It was an ok read. Didn't like the way Georgiana was portrayed, not enough conflict in the plot. Everything came too easy , mostly a harlequin type romance novel +8762 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Before Gabriel is able to make Sarah his mate, he is called away for months to complete some specialized training as a Hunter. To be a Hunter is a huge honor and Gabe feels that Sarah will be ok waiting, as they always have their dreams. Add to that he is concerned about the sexual demands he dreams of making on her and he thinks the time apart will help them both. In fact, he befriends another shifter, Chloe, before he goes so that she will have someone to talk with about him being gone. What he doesn't count on is that person not sharing the information with Sarah. +I like the American Standard version. It's may be different than what you're used to, so be prepared for that, and perhaps check it out with a sample before purchasing it, in case you don't like the translation. +The Girl in the Mirror - Are you really the mirror reflecting back what she wants to hear? As a husband, Jeff Feldhahn has some great wisdom to share. +To me, Ramsey is a financial genius and this is another book worth consideration. +4806 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Others are more comprehensively detailed--A Night To Remember comes to mind--but this book, first printed in 1912, is what they had instead of People Magazine and Breaking News on CNN. It's the fresh-off-the-press first stories of the passengers, the ship, the wreck. It's one of the more human of accounts, and, paradoxically, one of the more informative as to the technical information available at the time. A must-have curiousity for Titanic students. +I adore this book, plain and simple. There is something so lovely and touching about this beautiful and meaningful story of two men who find each other and slowly, shyly take that fall into love. + +9669 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Once again I have been captivated by what I call the 'visually descriptive', 'can't put it down', 'feel like you know the characters', writing style that L.J Martin always delivers. This author is a true story teller and you will not be disappointed when you get this book...or any of them for that matter! Enjoy! +1192 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Christina Skye's books keep getting better and better. Only wish she would write more of these. Great action and romance all rolled into one. + +Can the pack help Sheridan with her stalker? Will Adrian and Sheri be able to overcome the obstacles and mate as nature wants them to? +5198 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Nice finance book. Mostly didn't like how it was written. Emphasized how his method was a proven way to get debt free too much and talked about god way to much for my taste. But finance advice was on point through the book. + +This is a far more accomplished tale, with a defined plot and a very strong main character. +3899 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed this book. Just like the others thus far, I have read this book in less than a day. I was excited that this was about Remi and Jake relationship. Remi was turned into a werewolf in the end of the previous book. Jake had decided not to tell Remi he was his mate at first. He wanted him to get used to the idea of being a werewolf, plus Remi has issues coming to terms of his own sexuality. +Megan is a by-the-book FBI agent investigating veterans who had been tortured and killed. Jack is a former veteran and now a soldier-for-hire. He joins with Megan to find the killers after his best friend is killed (one of the victims). We learn early in the story who the killers are (Ethan and Karin) so I'm not giving anything away. Ethan was with a group of soldiers in Afghanistan. He was captured and tortured for three months by the Taliban before being rescued. He is suicidal and loaded with mental problems. Karin wants to learn torture techniques, but Ethan won't teach her. Therefore she convinces Ethan that he needs to capture and torture the veterans who were with him at the time, saying they abandoned him. She plans and helps him capture the vets, and then learns by watching Ethan stick needles into them. The main mystery is finding the killers, but a second mystery is why Karin wants to learn to torture. +Miranda + +They make it a hassle to cancel your subscription to the magazine, and never take you off their email list. +As quoted on her web site: Then early one morning, for no earthly reason, she wandered into a church. "I was certainly not interested in becoming a Christian," she writes. "Or, as I thought of it rather less politely, a religious nut." + +4027 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 "Religion Explained" by Pascal Boyer is a hard read, and probably off limits for the general reader. The book often sounds like a rambling college lecture in which the author covers pretty much everything between Heaven and Earth, constantly jumping back and forth between the subjects. Still, the book is ultimately rewarding. At least if you're an advanced student of anthropology, comparative religion or psychology! +In this haunting mystery, you learn how Decker and Lazarus came to be. + + +2667 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoy Abigail Reynolds writing. This book is well written, although out of the norms of Jane Austen and the sensibilities of that time period. Still, a diverting read. + + +Note: you can read blog on Kindle, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle DX and Kindle (2nd Generation) devices. + + + + +3828 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 One of the pleasures of being in a book group is that you find yourself forced to read books you never would have otherwise tried, and as a result, sometimes discover a wonderful work (one such example in my case is Jose Saramago's Blindness). However, the evil twin of that pleasure is the unmitigated pain of wasting precious time slogging through something you can't stand. Unfortunately, not only does this Booker Prize-winner stand firmly in that second category, it is the champion of it: the most hated book of the 70+ I've read for my bookclub, and the least enjoyable work of fiction I've read this year (out of roughly 100 or so books). +2521 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I bought this childrens classic to read with my boy, and he loves it, but what really surprised me was the beauty and grace of the quieter, nature poems that I had found so boring as a kid. I still love my childhood favourites which I remember by the lines rather than their titles (e.g. Halfway up the stairs, James James, Morrison Morrison, Lines and Squares, I do like a little bit of butter to my bread, they hadnt got a rabbit, not anywhere there, Theyre changing guard at Buckingham Palace, 'hush, hush, whisper who dares' etc ). + +7811 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I liked the premise of this story; gay chicken...hilarious, but what I loved was the sweet uncertainty and realization of Maverick and Duke. It was a sweet and short read, but I'm not complaining + +This is Alice's story. It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget. +8752 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 EXCELLENT STORY LINE AND CHARACTERS, YOU CAN'T HELP BUT LOVE THEM ALL. +9047 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 "This was a very easy story to read. From the beginning it hooks your attention with a rather steamy and erotic dream and carries through with an interesting plot and dynamic characters. Chloe is a contradiction - at work she is settling for a job beneeath her abilities instead of the career she is qualified for yet in the bedroom with Sean she is not afraid to ask or even demand her satisfaction. It is very evident that he brings out her sensual side. Their relationship takes center stage in the book yet the intrigue of the embezzlement rounds out the story nicely. The sex scenes were appropriate for an erotic romance, steamy, explicit and somewhat uncontrolled." - Lisa Freeman +Again, if you want to write a dominance/submission story for those people who enjoy such things, go right ahead. But damn well be honest about it--don't dress it up and toss a dozen different justifications at it so you can pretend that isn't what it is. As it is, this book left me with a sour feeling of blatant authorial manipulation of the reader. +The characters were well-developed and extremely interesting. I LOVED this book! Read it in paperback! Want it FOREVER, so I got the Kindle version to take with me when I travel!!!!! + +6022 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I must admit, I'm amazed no charges were ever brought against Billy Bulger, who was as crooked a politician as his brother was a mobster. Billy Bulger was the man behind the scenes pulling the political strings, while his brother Whitey, who by all accounts was very close to Billy, was on a murder rampage that decimated the streets of South Boston. +3770 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Reading the whole series. Great story, lots of action and good character development. Thanks a ton to the author. I'm really glad the series is long. Looking forward to following Will on his journey into adulthood. +8041 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 First of all, I must reiterate the warning that this is a title from Samhain Pub., which means that it is very sexually explicit! So you have been forewarned. +7251 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great online newspaper ! A good number of articles and news coverage. I buy this one edition at a time. +The history starts with a terrible tragedy in the Dominican Republic, the kind of thing that takes place under dictators. It is so vivid that I found it painful to read, yet fascinating as several dear friends of mine from the past are Dominican. I learned a lot of history from the novel - where they came from and what their particular dictatorship was like. From there, the survivors remain caught in history's web, either acting out the same pattern or consciously attempting to live a life that negates it. Everyone that follows the tragedy is a bit player, perhaps escaping at the very end of the third generation. I do not want to reveal anything here as a spoiler, but to give my interpretation. + +6356 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was a great story that warmed my heart. It gave a great story about faith and family. I do wish it continued with more of the first book. + +On the other hand Julian, whom we see only through Flynn's eyes, is more accessible and he presents himself to the reader (and to Flynn) in all his physical and emotional nakedness. I don't think we would have known more about him if he had been the narrator. He is exceptionally vulnerable, but his vulnerability doesn't depend on his personality, instead it's the result of his illness and the decisions his grandfather made for him. Julian is delicate, but he is not a damsel in distress that needs to be saved by a knight in a shiny armour, he's extremely dignified. What he needs is someone who allows him to spread his wings and the part where he tells Flynn what he wants for himself is very moving. + +8901 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The Earl of Rule, at the age of thirty-five, has finally decided that it is time for him to marry. Surprising his family, friends, and the ton, Rule selects the youngest and plainest Winwood sister to be his bride. Horatia, at the tender age of seventeen, nobly sacrifices herself in marriage to Rule to save her family from financial ruin and give her sister, Lizzie, the opportunity to marry her true love. She enters her marriage to Rule full aware that they aren't in love and promising "not to interfere" in his lordship's affairs. +What we have is a protagonist with daddy issues, misunderstood by all, drummed out of the military (in the first few pages so no spoilers) sent out in near-exile on a milk-run. But her family seems to live by the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, with trade and profit above all and being the driving force of her increasingly hazardous life. It's a wild - but believable - story. +7992 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Paranormal Payload is book 1 in the Project Exorcism series. The premise behind the series is that earth went through a purge of all paranormal beings. As a reader I enjoy reading how an author unravels a plot. While I did enjoy reading the book, after reading the prologue I was able to figure out much of what was going to happen in the story. Lorelei and Nina are two of the Janelle sisters that are trying to keep the tradition and legacy of their family going. Sevan and Jordan are brothers, with their own secrets. How Ms. Roth brings these two groups together was nice. I cannot wait until she tells the story of how Jordan and Nina actually connect, how hopefully Christian finds a mate and how the remainder of the legacy is fulfilled. +The characters a wonderfully drawn and the reading group all agree that this is one of the most well written books we have encountered in several years. The main character is a half Chinese, half British youngest of four, the other three are all fully British. + +6360 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, Stuck in the Middle (Sister-to-Sister, Book 1), and have been patiently (ok, not so patiently) awaiting the release of book two, Age Before Beauty. It was definitely worth the wait. It follows the oldest sister in the Sanderson family, Allie Harrod. She's desperate to stay home with her new baby - so desperate, in fact, that she's willing to become a work-at-home mom (WAHM) if that's what it takes. +SWEET DREAMS +1128 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I got this book for free and thought I'd give it a whirl. I can't believe how suprised I was by book. It's funny, sweet, and decadently romantic! +This version of "The Frog Prince" has a very beautiful beginning, but the rest of the story is disjointed, uninspired, and annoying. + +I liked the start of the book, but I kept waiting for something to happen. There really didn't seem to be that much drama. The big issue was her working so much and even that wasn't a huge issue. Her family totaly accepted her and Rafe getting together and same with his family so no problems there. Instanly they decide they love each other and have wasted the last several years not being together so no issue there. It was kind of boring at times and repetative. Her family told her the same things over and over. She was to skinny, she worked to hard, she lived to far away. I bought it on my Kindle so I skimmed pages, but if I had it in book form, I would have skipped to the end. Some of the scenes were good and the characters were both nice, but I just wanted the book to be over. +8283 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It was a good read would have loved for it to be longer so as to get into the plot but like it. + +8276 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 i really enjoyed the book-more than i thought i would. i would like to see more in a full lenght book. and it was free! + +2178 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is such a wonderful product that exceeded my expectations,and it arrived in a timely manner. Great job and keep up the good work. + +4582 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Don't even think about picking up this book. A complete waste of time and money. This is my second attempt at reading one of Dakota Cassidy's books (see my review of The Accidental Werewolf). This is just about the cheesiest writing I've ever come across. Terrible dialogue, a pathetic attempt at humor that prompts pity, and very very forgettable and flat characters. Silly plot (practically nonexistent). 339 pages of pure fluff and elementary writing. Not even worth buying as a throw away beach read. +8076 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another Maya that took me there! Very intriguing, and never a dull moment. Be sure to add this one to your reading list. +This was a fab little novella and it was a great way to get to know some of the side characters from the series a little better. We also get cameo roles from some other familiar faces which was nice but I loved that Lissy and Will were the real focus of the story. They are a fantastic couple who are clearly madly in love, the sex was scorching and the banter between them and their friends was incredibly amusing. If you're looking for a quick, hot read then you really can't go wrong with this and I'd highly recommend checking out the rest of the series too. +4318 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Another wonderful book of A A Milne's poems. My favourite would still have to be Forgiven about Alexander Beetle. Fabulous! +Right now I am an annoyed person and it is not easy to clear my mind to read books and put other thoughts aside. But then I think most people who are looking for a book of this kind are the same way. And those of us who had to go total zero carbs for a couple weeks on Atkin's to get purple in the dig stick, may not do so well with the sweet at the end thing. + + + +If you don't believe, you will be amazed at the ability of one person to change the world.

If your subscription doesn't update, just restart your Kindle. It will take a minute or so, but it gives your subscription a kick in the pants and starts updating again. +Now if you don't mind a very edgy book, this is amazing. The lead character Ann finds herself alternating between discovering the sensual appeal of Masques and the cruelty of the radical jihadist. It is scary, I found myself often nodding and realizing that everything that happened in book could happen here, in real life. The author researched tirelessly and was very well read and descriptive on the different Muslim cultures, ways and segregation. Ann is at the wrong place at the wrong time, she witnesses the shot that started the next great world war. From there she watches almost like an obsessive zombie (yes I know that's an oxymoron) as Europe collapses, America's downfall is much more seductive and under the radar. + + +7995 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Earth banished Supernaturals eons ago but those who hid out on earth were executed when they were discovered. Those who escaped into space were thought to have been lost, or if they were lucky, landed safely on unknown planets undetected. +As for the ending... it's supposed to come across as tragic, but the circumstances of Oscar's death feel less tragic and more stupid to me. I have little sympathy for Oscar's death when it's his own stupidity and hormones that got him killed, and said ending elicited a facepalm from me instead of tears. Not to mention that the final chapter of the book is supposed to be hopeful because Oscar finally got laid before he died. Seriously? I had hoped to find a kindred spirit of sorts in Oscar, but instead he turns out to be the stereotypical fat nerd who just wants to lose his virginity to a hot girl. *sigh* +565 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Julia Chandler is an Assistant District Attorney who is investigating the murder of her niece's step-father. She will have to do it outside of her office for her niece is the one suspected of the murder.

Peter Decker is a Los Angeles detective thrust into a rape, then murder case filled with enough suspects to keep the reader up late, trying to figure out the culprit. Meanwhile, he battles romantic feelings for a beautiful widow which threaten his investigation. A very satisfying book!! +6792 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is one of my all time favorite novels. I've read all three volumes of the collection twice. the character development is superb and John Galsworthy's writing style is superior. If you enjoy period novels, don't miss this one. If you like Upstairs Downstairs or Downton Abbey you will love this trilogy. I only wish there were more volumes.

I regularly read The Washington Post online, and this was a great backup plan when that wasn't possible. +The ending is quite abrupt. While I'm reading, I usually projects in my mind my expectation of the plot, and I was already contemplating all the future developments when the story, in a few paragraphs, finished. I'm still craving for an epilogue, but, hey, I'm allowed to make up what I want, right? +I most certainly want to find this suite Ethan had on my next cruise! + + + + +As Facebook itself is dynamic and continually evolving, its story will continue to unfold.

How very appealing to have Darcy and Elizabeth meet on a ship, fall in love, deny their feelings, and ultimately get together. I have read many sequels and this one takes the cake as a unique and captivating environment in which to bring the protagonists together. I love Kara Louise's style and tone. Well worth the read. +This book's main character, Ky Vatta, may have a bit more to learn, a more significant failing to overcome, than some of Moon's comparable characters -- and that's just fine. + + +There are a lot of interesting twists to this book, Especially with Jiro's hateful granfather. But in the end it worked out. +1256 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This novel about a Dominican boy, Oscar, who grows up in New Jersey is packed full of stories, all kinds of stories. Theres growing-up stories, family stories, history-of-the-Dominican-Republic stories, gangster stories, and love stories. The narrator, Yunior, one time college roommate of Oscar and on-again off-again boyfriend of Oscars sister Lola, tells Oscars story in conjunction with that of his family, going back and forth in time to narrate the history of Oscars family, and back and forth between New Jersey and the Dominican Republic, a culture whose history and traditions come to have as much influence on Oscar as the comic books and science fiction novels he spends all his time reading and writing during his short life. This book is crackling with an astounding storytelling energy, a vast number of colourful minor characters, and a spirit and tone thats both cynical and open to the romantic yearnings of life. The numerous pop culture references which pepper its pages lend it a unique, contemporary style while also embodying the modern American male adolescent type to which Oscar belongs. This is a spontaneous, joyful, funny novel full of love and tragedy written in a hip style expressing modern, relevant themes. +1048 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 The only device it can appear is on my Nokia Lumia phone. + +Then upon returning home it does not get any better.

It might pass a few hours but you can do better with another Julie Garwood novel, like "The Secret". +Young female runaway reluctantly takes over a mission from a dying 'Green Rider' a sort of Pony Express rider in a fantasy setting. +3 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As usual for him, a good book + +I highly recommend this collection of short stories. +1538 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love Faye Kellerman's novels. This one is the first of eleven novels in the Peter Decler/Rina Lazarus series, Decker is assigned to investigate a rape at the mikvah in the Orthodox complex where Rina lives with her two sons. The book is well-written and interesting. +9575 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Human Legacy Project is an awesome short story. It has just enough back story to fill you in on the current state of the world, and in Cantrell fashion, leaves you thinking after finishing the last sentence. This time, though, the ending felt more rewarding because there was plenty of clarity from previous chapters to know what it all meant. A lingering question still remained and could be interpreted one of two ways, but I do not want to spoil any of the story. It is only 20 to 30 minutes to read and priced perfectly. I will say it again, this is an awesome short story. + + +6102 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Special Agent Steven Thatcher is a huge disappointment in this story. Jealousy is one thing, but leaving a woman alone and unprotected when it is your job to protect and you know she is a target on some bullshoot misperception? Really? How insulting to law enforcement officers. Another very wrong is how the author portrayed him in talking to his youngest son. I thought I was ready words spoken by a woman. The author failed in writing from a male prospective. Next wrong, Detective Davies. He is an active law enforcement officer and comes into another jurisdiction with vital case information and doesn't immediately go to the law enforcement office with it?! What true detective would do such a thing? None. Two girls were taken after he got to town and may not have if he had done what a real detective would have. Instead he approaches Thatcher at a kids athletic event and doesn't identify himself but gets pissy because he's spoken to as if he was a reporter and given the appropriate response by Thatcher thinking he is a reporter then he stalks off!!!!! More problems - Dr. Marshall has two professionally trained German Shephards and the don't growl and bark at the intruder on the balcony? Dr. Marshall is a brown belt in karate and doesn't use her skills to knock down and knock out the killer, but runs and gets tackled and drugged? Not to mention allowing her former fiance's dad to talk her into leaving the house when she knew a killer was targeting her? All of this made this book sad and I was ready not to finish it and have no desire to read other books by this author because I can see this kind of ridiculousness making reappearance in her other books. +Needless to say, Shane calls off his marriage to Clarissa. + +1535 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have read many books of this series but, to my surprise, apparently not the one in which Decker and Lazarus first meet. The Ritual Bath was both a good mystery story and very informative about aspects of the Jewish faith and life. I followed a red herring or two, jumped to at least one incorrect conclusion, and thoroughly enjoyed this book. You probably will too. +7939 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is an amazing hook for the series, it is an extremely short Novella that leads you into book 1. Right now Amazon Kindle even has a special where you can get this along with the first 2 books in the series at an amazing price. :) We start off with Kaylee going to the mall with her best friend and then having a "panic attack" which happens when she sees shadows and knows someone near her is going to die. The "attacks" cause her to scream the loudest most insane horrifying scream imaginable. This lands her in a psych ward for teens. +6231 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Reading this novel is like walking a labyrinth--one gets caught up in the measured pacing, but around every corner are glimpses of a bigger picture. During the first three quarters of the book I wondered how Ms. Hardie would tie together so many story lines, but realized once I was well into it, she was deftly and deliberately weaving wide ranging bits of information into a most unusual plot. +Reviewed by Sophia from the Bookaholics Romance Book Club +(...)it's worth the visit to learn a bit more about the author.

Looking Within (The ministries of the Holy Spirit in the believer) +3538 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Men in Black is a book about excessive government power. It isn't concerned so much with legislative or executive power. Rather, this is a book about the growing power and influence of the Supreme Court; a court that author Mark Levin feels has overstepped its boundaries and taken upon itself to write the law in its own terms, often against the will of the people. +5227 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Dave is fantastic. Down to earth and he's been there and done that with his money. I swear by his advice, I'm on my way out of debt and I now MAKE my money go where I want it to.... You can't go wrong with Dave Ramsey. +The kicker about the de León family? They just may be the victims of a bona fide curse (a particularly nasty one at that, called a fukú) as a result of their history with Rafael Trujillo, a former dictator of the Dominican Republic renowned for his brutality, and whose enemies uniformly met with disastrous ends one way or another (historical details about Trujillo and the history of his reign are scattered throughout the novel, a tidbit that may turn some off of the book, but rest assured that Díaz is so utterly entertaining a writer that they are a joy to read). The de Leóns are on a collision course with disaster, but can they break the curse before it's too late? +I purchased this in ebook for my kindle, but I'm going to have to buy the print copy too. This is a feel good, in all the important ways, novel and it deserves every bit of recognition and profit it can get. + +2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

I love how the stories stand alone but also tie together to reveal a wider world. This collection does not disappoint. Through the volume, the reader gets to follow the lives of multiple vampire couples as they try to secure their place in their world, find true love and stay out of the clutches of an evil government agency that is hell bent on destroying them. Great binge reading material! +That aside I totally enjoyed this story, its compelling , well written and a nice twist on the normal fantasy romance. +While Marx's ideas are thought provoking, they are generally useless in the modern world. This book should be read by all people who consider themselves politically, socially, and/or economically educated. +Finally, "The Glycemic Load Diet" discusses fat, cholesterol, and other factors in keeping your metabolism in check for permanent weight control. Of course, Dr. Thompson shares a few of his favorite recipes to get you off on the right foot to begin this new way of eating.

Love this series. Another great book with strong characters, detailed plot and well written dialogue. Puma shifters! An eye doctor falls for an albino with an abusive ex, who happens to be a werewolf. Good stuff. Worth reading, perhaps twice! +But that being said I thought the book was still good by itself or as a continuation to the series, it was definately worth the read. +At one point, the main character's girlfriend tells the guy's best friend a story that leads the friend to think the main character had RAPED her. At the end of that conversation, he asks the woman to 'look out' for his buddy while he moves out of town. Yeah, if I think a woman's been raped, I would definitely tell her to be sure to be good friends with and take care of her rapist. + +The prose is incredulously lyrical, rich, and refined - so much more compressed and yet detailed any prose in most contemporary fiction. Banville is one of the few living author who can maintain the flow of a novel with a taut sense while flourishing different themes as well as exploring and exposing, delineating the intricacies of human emotions. The book leaves us in awe of the marvelous silence with which human tolerate lies. Once again Banville has epitomized literary fiction with a twisting intrigue, which is unfortunately exiguous in the market now. + +2934 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Thi swas a great book. Quick, hot, steamy. The story flowed well. I do wish there was another one. but it was a great read. + +When Saul is assigned to teach a remedial writing course, a student named Gordy Himmelman develops an odd fixation on him and Patsy, yet his intentions are unknowable, his motivation a mystery. "On Gordy, blankness had a certain eloquence," Baxter writes. "The boy was profoundly blank." Yet he passively propels the novel's minimal plot, first as a curious stalker who stands under a tree in their front yard for hours at a time, then as a ghost who inspires rebellion in the town's susceptible teenagers. + +5153 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love all of Sherrilyn Kenyon's series and this series is one of my favorites. If you like this you should read her League series. +Tuttle's writing style is tight and entertaining. My first thought when I finished reading was it felt like reading some Poe only the lighter, more amusing version.

Jaime was a wonderful heroine, wise and kind and strong who never stopped loving Malcolm. I hated how the Hero Malcolm treated Jaime, thinking the worst of her, but she forgives him after he realizes his mistakes. This book was filled with romance and adventure, set against the backdrop of the promiscuous soon to be Queen Catherine and her intended Henry VIII. + +3693 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The ending caught me a bit off guard, but the book was amazing! I am definitely going to get the next book and would recommend you to try the rangers apprentice series too. +2248 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 What have you got to lose? It's a quick read and like the "Master Key System", "The Secret" and "Think and Grow Rich", to name a few, it places you in the driver's seat. And to me it makes the point that you've got the power. The book suggest you put all other systems aside in favor of its system or it won't work: a technique often used in brainwashing. I submit again, you have nothing to lose. The promise it makes is that you have the power inside you to make things happen...Sounds like a good idea, even if a little brainwashing is involved. If after awhile, it doesn't work, go back to looking for outside forces and help. Wattles doesn't discount a creator but instead claims the creator has given you power over the process. + +Clint finds out that he has a son but Abby told her son his father is dead. + +Parts two through five are explanation and commentary on specific things Jesus said and did during His ministry.

However, once I started to read it, I was intrigued enough to continue. Due to the subjects, I expected more action but found the emphasis was on the romance between a werewolf and a human. It was still an entertaining read. + +The story is expertly developed, and the kids from the camp met with a great ending. There are some wholesome, rule- and ethics-based aspects of the story, and I was sad to see it go for this reason. + +The Bad: + + + + +8755 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Whew!

Gabe is called upon to become the region Hunter, basically he'll hunt down rogue shifters who pose threat to humans and other shifters, and will be away for like 6 months in training. Because of this, he decides (stupidly) to wait to mate with Sarah. She's saddened by this but what can ya do, right?! Anywho... lots of serious miscommunication and Sarah begins to believe Gabe is falling for the diner waitress while Gabe thinks the same about the local vet and Sarah. Hot sex dreams, lots of arguing, a dominant werepuma and we have us a smokin hot story! ;) +As a big fan of Robert B. Parker's series of Spenser, this quickly jumped into a series I wanted to read. Though it does, obviously, start with book one mirroring one of the episodes from the television series, there are enough differences I feel like I am not reading a novelization. Johnson does well in bringing what would normally appear mundane for a small-time sheriff into the a mystery that requires interaction with other characters as eccentric as the sheriff in order to solve this crime of murder. With a nice twist I was not expecting at the end, Johnson has shown he has the feel of a great western-mystery writer. +About the middle of the book there is a key event in the story that also I found less than convincing, but I cannot go too much in detail about it at the risk o spoiling the plot. Lets just say that the rage and obsession of one of the main characters, whom eventually blows up in a fireball, is not 100% believable. I wish I could go into more detail. Let's just say that the reaction of that character was a bit excessive in my opinion. Likewise, one of the female heroines falls in love, and manages from then on to trust blindly, with one of the male counterparts a bit too fast. A few more pages there would have made it a bit more believable. + +9607 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is a great, romantic and touching story. Heartbreaking at times, but guaranteed to warm your heart and fill it with all kinds of emotions. +The pendant of the Green Rider has magic as well and Karigan can make herself and the horse invisible! That is so cool and this is one of the reasons she makes me mad at times when she doesn't use it. But I digress. It does sap her energy so there is that. Oh, and the sisters gave her a moonstone that will help keep her warm and light her way, as it chose her. They gave her some other little things that came in handy. +6839 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This is an unusual story..Very slow at times.but overall very good reading..I certainly am no expert.on books..but I recommend it. +2021 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The Battle for Skandia is the fourth book in the Ranger's Apprentice series. My son and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them together (they're so good that sometimes I'm tempted to keep on reading after he's gone to bed). + +For those that are familiar with our current laws (those that possess a far greater understanding than I care to have) will be fascinated as to how this Code has influenced the laws of various societies down through the years. +I love the secondary characters, and here again, the narrator made such a fantastic job with some characters that had brief appearances. There was certain ex that just gain my heart, I would love so much to know more about him. +67 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Frank Abagnale ran away from home at the age of 16. Within weeks he had aged himself 10 years, become a Pan Am pilot, and passed dozens of counterfeit checks. By 21, he had been around the world (passing counterfeit checks in more than a dozen countries) and worked as a pediatrician, college professor, and lawyer. His escapades are truly unbelievable. His crime spree came to end when he was thrown into a terrible French prison followed by time served in Swedish and American prisons. How did he do it? Social engineering. When you act like you know what you are doing and where you are going, people tend to let you do whatever you want. Catch Me If You Can is a fascinating look at a young mans crazy crime spree with just a little too much emphasis on Abagnales feminine conquests (and in spite of being reformed and having paid his debt to society, the tone of the whole book indicates pride in his achievements). +7380 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 After reading A Baby of Her Own, I couldn't wait to start this book and was not disappointed! Brenda did a great job of continuing with the same style of writing and including parts with characters from the first book so you find out what else happened to them. If you read the first book you will not be disappointed in this one! Can't wait to keep reading her books! +1201 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have the whole Desert Rogues series and it is awesome. The men are all alpha males the women are are all strong and well written. A must read. +9566 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This true tale of one woman's childhood on the run from her parents' criminal activities is deeply personal and poignant in parts, though ultimately the narrative voice kept me from sinking completely into the story. Jennifer Mascia, whose life was shaped by the activities of her parents and a past she didn't learn about until after her father's death, is certainly exorcising her fair share of demons here, and rightfully so. +2842 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A bit slow at the beginning but this book is worth hanging in there for a beautifully touching story of life, struggles and friendships. Set In 1939, Philip Hutton, half-Chinese, half-English, doesn't know where he belongs,a friendship with Hayato Endo, a Japanese diplomat shows him a new outlook on life. But all things in life come with two sides and Phillip is going to find out his friend is not who he seems. Great story and well worth the read. +These books are about atmosphere more than action. The murder takes place right at the beginning in the first book, but not in the other two. I was really surprised at how late the murder was in the third book, and yet I still kept turning the page wanting to find out what happened next. There are other mysteries involved outside of murder. Deanna Raybourn writes wonderfully complex characters whose relationships are not always what they seem to be. +I know that as soon as I get the hang of how this formatted Bible works, it will be well worth the money paid for it. +3369 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 "I always get even" ... +7486 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Much to short but i loved it.

At times I felt like the book was transforming into a historical romance novel or at its worst a bad Lifetime movie. Now, there's nothing wrong with historical romance novels, but that's not the kind of book I wanted to read. +8867 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book was published in 1932, long before Fellowes wrote the screenplay for Gosford Park, so I can only suppose that this book inspired the movie. Very similar premise and plot. The story opens at an English house party in the home of a very grouchy, unpleasant military general and his young but downtrodden wife. When he ends up dead, all of the visitors must remain while an inspector from Scotland Yard investigates. It's kind of like reading a literary version of the boardgame "Clue," which is always a favorite in our home. + +***Spoiler**** (not much of one since I didn't finish it, but wanted to warn) +Chandler looked on his short stories as apprentice work, but some of these early stories have a kind of power that, though cruder, is also different from the power that appears in the novels. Their detectives are less wittily aloof from the crimes they get involved in, and their lives seem a little dirtier in general. Considering what Marlowe himself goes through, that says quite a bit. + +142 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I liked this story. +8469 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Fast delivery! Great packaging! Awesome seller!!! 2nd time I've purchased from them!! Definitely recommend!! Product was exactly as pictured and described!! +5864 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Hooray! This is a relatively glitch free digital conversion of all of Austen's work. Download it now, you won't regret it. +I believe this book tells the kind of advise that keeps people from ever getting better. I can not trust their claims that they got so many people better with what they claim works, and if I have to go on line to take tests, why buy the book? + + +4606 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The three most interesting books I have read recently concerned occupation forces during WWII, two about the German occupation of France and this one about the Japanese occupation of Malaya. This particular novel pushes two of my buttons, an interest in southeast Asia since reading Somerset Maughan stories decades ago and a longing to know more about the world into which I was born (1940) and which killed my father in the Pacific Theater of war. The basic theme of this novel also hits another of my reading interests, the intersection or clash of cultures. +This story is a form of trial by happenstance, with Ky performing well personally, but having problems with some of the extra people on board. Ky has a reputation for adopting underdogs, but her real problem is that she naively trusts people who appear trustworthy. Her experiences during this voyage, however, seem to have instilled a much needed touch of cynicism in her character. +361 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A good source for obtaining an understanding of the thoughts and precepts of Communist dogma. +6989 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 My father read this book ages ago, and felt I would enjoy it, but hey, it's set in the modern, "real" world, and so I resisted quite a while. I finally had the urge to give it a try, mostly because I was in the mood for entertaining dialogue, and I was assured that I would find what I was looking for within the pages of Craig Johnson's book. +Where we do have a quarrel is that the delivery to our iPads and Mac Air is much better, fuller and timelier than to a Kindle. So I cannot blame the New York Times for this discrepancy. I've noticed that on many reviews on many other reading products that the Kindle also fails on font delivery whereas our other systems never come through in an unreadable font. + +5847 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This is a 'complete' collection. Not to be confused with a truly complete collection, which should include her unfinished novels (like Sanditon, for example). You can go from one book to another, but to navigate within the books you must bookmark. There are no chapters marked. +I hated the ending of the story as it is heartbreaking. The title clues you in about Oscar's life. Oscar is overweight and socially awkward with girls. He desires them but his appearance and obesity hinders possible relationships. He is able to make friends with girls but he is often heartbroken and even suicidal. +7478 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Dr. Adrian Giordano's two best friends have both been happily mated and while he is happy for them he is in no way looking for a mate. Isn't the saying you will find you mate when you least expect it? Well this is what happens to Adrian. He thought he was happy with his occasional weekend date, thriving business and friends. He found out differently when Sheridan Montgomery comes to town. She is the former college friend of Adrian's best friends and has come to ask for help in the form of joining the pack. Oh did I mention that Adrian and his friends are puma shifters? +Walt Longmire is not your average literary hero well, actually, he is average. Hes handsome in a rugged way. Hes over 50 and hes described more than once as being out of shape. Hes been mourning the loss of his wife long enough in his friends opinion, which reinforces the fact that hes surrounded by people who care about him as much as he cares about them. Hes honest, loyal, well educated, has a strong sense of honor basically hes one of the most real characters Ive read in a long time. One of my favorite parts of reading this book was his inner dialogue. I loved it. His thoughts are easy and honest and yes, he tends to ramble, but that keeps it entertaining. +Hopefully, they'll improve it in the future. But now, just try it out for free to see for yourself. + +Rent is due and Duke has spent it on something else. In an attempt to make some quick cash they decide the offer for the guy on guy smexy pics are the way to go. Theyre best friends and roommates. They are more than used to being in each others personal space. Mav and Duke are pretty sure that they can take a few pics while touching each other. That doesnt make them gay. +1816 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 If you like hot, irresistible men with an attitude this is the book for you! Ryder is a super sexy man who ran into some trouble, unknowingly got married and when he get out of jail it takes him a bit but he falls head over heels for his bride and she for him. Keeps reading until it over! +5810 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I found it to be a great book I recommend it, from start to finish it had met, quite intriguing really.

You'll feel like you're part of the family when you read them!! :)) +742 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Love the paper. Great writers but cancelled my subscription due to the price. If the price comes down to like $12/mo I might buy it them. I do buy an occasional single issue for $.99 which I really like. Gave 5 stars for the papers content. I can't rate low due to the cost since I was aware of the cost when subscribing. +In the same way, you miss a lot of the storyline if you haven't read certain books. For example, Oscar often speaks in Dune-language. He says at one point his grandmother "tried to use the Voice" on him. This is a power of the Bene Gesserit in Dune, where they could subtly control someone's actions by speaking in a certain way to them. In another part he is afraid, and starts quoting "Fear is the mind killer" which is the Bene Gesserit "Litany Against Fear". The whole litany gives a mental environment for handling fear, which the reader is expected to know and understand. +The club On The Edge was only 3 months old but it had been an instant success with the people of Haventown. Both human and vampire alike. It's success was so great that it's owner Brett had to hire more help. After a hard day of interviews he was ready for a quiet night at home. Instead he found himself in whole different, but much more pleasing situation. +Miranda +48 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What talent Anita Shreve possesses to be able to write so convincing and intriguing a novel told solely from the point of view of a man who has almost no self awareness, no sense of his own idiocy and chauvinism, and still wring forth a vivid character study whereby the READER understands so much more than Shreve's hapless narrator, Nicholas. +865 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It's always refreshing to hear the truth +The villains are pathetic and laughable (and they were not intended to be) and truthfully, you never really understand why anyone does what they do. +1421 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Superb, beautiful writing and story. I've not only read this novel but also taught it to students of all ages in high school. Can be taught on the simple plot or character line or studied in depth topically and as a study of writing style. Excellent and highly recommended! + +Not quite believing the tale but secretly worried, Lord Vailmont sets out to discover the truth. +154 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This book deserves some wheres between 2 and 3 stars. It's an attempt to be the typical young adult learns about herself and her place in the world story, but falls short. The protagonist is so exceptionally neurotic, and wears it on her sleeve, that I find it implausible she'd be seen as any kind of leader. Ky lives in a world where nearly everyone is unhelpful, where apparently despite her father's wealth and influence, doors shut in her face time after time and where mid-level bureaucrats go out of their way to be officious and make enemies. Give me a break. There's a fundamental misunderstanding here of what power and influence are, I think. The author's attempt to show-off Ky's trading skills also fall flat. Moon's idea of a negotiator is someone who browses on-line prices, makes zero attempt at face to face negotiating, and settles for what she is offered. We are told how wonderful Ky is, but nothing I saw (with one violent exception) reinforces that; Moon just can't pull it off. My reaction is too often "This isn't the way a young person thinks or acts..." If you're willing to be told (everyone around Ky is more than willing to tell her how impressed they are with her) what to think about her, then you've passed one hurdle in enjoying this book. As the first of a series, perhaps the holes will be plugged in later books. The big problem I have is why doesn't Ky see these holes? The underclassman who sabotaged her - she (and her family!) just shrug off his indirect assault?? Her "boy friend" who turns out to be not only a selfish cad (apparently, the concept that one important lesson TEENAGERS learn is to pick their friends, isn't true here) but more than willing to make an enemy for inexplicable motivations. What?! And where did those two mystery ships go? Why didn't Ky care? I guess I just don't get it. No one seems on the ball enough to see the potential for hostile intent operating behind the scenes? Really? In a world where electronic systems are pervasive, potential hacking is disregarded? Really? Ky is put in a situation where she really should know, based on her training, that she needs help to supervise the "passengers" she's given, yet she asks for none. The question you should ask is: is such a blunder - which is a key plot turning point - consistent with how "wily" she supposedly is? Ky's only real talent, from what I see, is she's astoundingly financially lucky. She is presented on a plate with money making deals when she needs them, time after time. There seems to be two stories here: one of a wonderkind blazing a path to become a Galaxy class entrepreneur and the other of an average kid who is muddling through the obstacles life throws at her. The first has no bearing (aside from in Moon's mind) with what actually happens, and the second could have made a great story if the protagonist just wasn't so whiny (she talks down to herself constantly). + + +Thursday for pot roast. +It gets even more worst. So the heroine is described as wallflower. Well maybe when she was in high school but no wallflower was described as hawt and had ex boyfriend she describes heavily making out with. Yeah, no. The title was misleading. +3925 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Ross Benson, Viscount Winterton, is recently returned from Africa. He is a jaded rake of a man, and the object of many women's fantasies. He and Timothy Rollins are arriving back at Ivydale Manor, drunk, when they wake young Cassandra, Timothy's sister, who helps both men to bed. When she ends up in bed with Ross, her lifetime crush, it will have repercussions none of them counted on. +6358 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I thought this was a great topic to talk about-women and insecurities especially after having a child. Also women working vs. staying home. The author did a great job. But this one didn't seem to keep my interest as well as the first and third parts of the series. +9461 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I have to start out saying that I love F.E. Heaton's book. Now for the review. This book is one of those books that you have to read, if you like paranormal or romance books, read this one. The character Nika was so powerful in this book, some characters in some books are really weak, but never in F.E. Heaton's books. If you want to read a good book and also get into the story, Please read this book. +4260 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Easy to follow recipes without a daunting list of ingredients, I know some people are critical of the author's use of mixes and premade items but for someone like me who doesn't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen and is looking for ways to cut calories, then this might be the book for you. I can vouch for the apple blueberry pancakes. I got the book from the library first but then ended up buying it because I can see it is a book I will go back to over and over again. + +5314 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As other reviewers have stated.......there is really no magic involved with Ramsey's approach. Pay off smallest debts first, then rest of debts....then move to investing. + +8524 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I liked the idea of this book + +* Layne: he's too cute to be true, but I read about him with a big smile on my face all the time and sometimes I just want to feel good. +1817 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I really enjoyed the story. The way it starts with the darkness and bitterness and then slowly turns to brightness and love. Excellent read!! +Will she chose Cole as her mate or will Gabrielle's gentle touch and gorgeous eyes steal her heart? Can the brothers stop Stephan before he kills Marin? +Simple decency says that, when an author's widow is dependent on the authorized sale of his works for her livelihood, we shouldn't be sending our money to for-profit publishers who aren't paying the family their royalties. + + +Michelle +8833 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The world building was very detailed. I also loved the main characters. I would have rated this a five, but felt there were far too many secondary characters; and with their names being so unusual, found it difficult to keep track of who was who. +9161 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is the best book to have in your collection . +7531 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great reads. I am still working through them. Every thing from his travels abroad to stories of his childhood. Thoroughly entertaining reading... +-Sue Monk Kidd (The Secret Life Of Bees p 163) +This book is extremely complex and the characters are much richer than its predecessor. The emotion throughout the book was at a very high pitch and at times I felt as if my stomach was in knots because the action was non stop. There is so much going on it's difficult to know where to stop in terms of talking about the storyline because of the danger of being a spoiler. There is a murder investigation, extreme violence against members of Remi's family, a horrifying incident in the past, collusion between law enforcement agencies in an investigation several years ago, as well as a recent tragedy, all of which heighten the pressure in the already intense love story between Remi and Jake. +8135 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Quick, hot, easy read. Lots of pleasure and not a lot of drama. This was a romance junkies dream. The story was actually a new concept to be appreciated. + +4693 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Belle Taylor has spent the last year working eighty hour weeks without a single day off. It is now Christmas time and by God, she is going to visit her family for a week. She wants that corner office in the law firm in which she works but also wants to spend time with her family. When Rafe, her brother's best friend and the object of her late night fantasies since high school, kisses her under the mistletoe hanging in his hallway, Belle realizes that what she used to think was important, just might not be any longer. +All told, for a novella you can read in one day, this is worthwhile. It has steam, emotion, and a fairly satisfying happy ending. 3.5 stars. +6780 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 While the writing and concept of the book are both good, I was unable to continue reading after chapter 7. The premise of the book is that the guy doesn't realise he is dealing with the same woman and thinks Zaira and Zoe are different people. However, in Chapter 7 he arrives at Zaira's apartment for dinner and immediately discusses something that happened to them both when he was with "Zoe"...and Zaira responds as if she was there and it is totally natural...and nothing more is said about it. If the author hasn't taken the time to edit and iron out the inconsistencies, which can be expected with a plot like this one, then I don't have the time to read it. Sorry! +At the time when I originally read this it was the first in the series and none of the others were out, now there are 4 more. I will definitely be checking them out. + +Even cooler than that, though, Ravirn turns out to be an emerging chaos god who's about to hang a shingle in the Greek pantheon. That story alone is worth the price of the book. +3401 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 When Hawk is in a town that needs help with the criminals, he has the expertise to bring about change. Add this novel to your Bucket List. +I'm not sure I can say I would recommend this book, I suppose it would depend on the person. I would definitely say that Elizabeth Scott's writing is haunting and real. This book is a definite page turner; 4 1/2 hearts. ' ' ' ' 1/2 +Never Tell Our Business To Strangers is an exceptional look at 'the life' and it's effects on the imperfect people who live it. It would probably be a great choice for your book club, but be prepared to find out some of your friends have been keeping their business to themselves as well. "He seemed like such a nice man!" isn't just a cliche, it's often the truth. +Location 5595 "steal ceiling" instead of "steel ceiling" +The character of Philo Vance comes off as ridiculous, a pretentious, wealthy snob who loves art and whose intellect is light years ahead of the District Attorney and the police, except that it couldn't be. If Vance solves the crime, it seems absolutely contrived and unconvincing that he could do it. He affects an English accent along the lines of Lord Peter Wimsey, but is so snobbish he peppers his vocabulary with lots of Latin, Greek and French words and expressions. A dictionary is a helpful companion to reading these books, but sometimes the typical collegiate or abridged dictionary won't help. The net result is that Vance comes off as a foppish, arrogant fool who fancies himself to be much more than he is. That he ends up solving the crime seems, ultimately, to be highly improbable. In the process of getting there, I the reader, wasn't nearly entertained enough by the story itself. For me, the stories just aren't that intriguing and the storytelling isn't either. + +Well...you will just have to read the book to find out the answer to that! +After that, go eat the real cheese cake and be done with it. (If, indeed, you still want it!) +6686 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This is definitely not my kind of book. Does not hold my interest as I do not feel this is anywhere near real. +8961 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 It was a short, sweet, sexy read. Worth the money. I liked her style of writing & will look for more by this author. +1700 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Fans of Catherine Coulter's the Bride series will enjoy the return of the Sherbrooke family. This was my first book by this author. So, I didn't discover this tidbit of information until after I read this book. I really don't like to read a book that's built on characters of previous books I haven't read, but didn't feel I was missing anything with WIZARD'S DAUGHTER. +However, it is impossible to not grow older and a couple of days before her 15th birthday Ray realizes that she is not as little as she once was and he begins to abuse her even more. He is angry with the fact that she is growing up and he tells her that it is her duty to find a new little girl for him. Alice is sent to the park so that she can find the next "Alice" for him and there is an entire slew of events that follows after she finds this girl. +This book was marketed as being funny, but I just didn't see it. I think I laughed once. +1830 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Let me start off by saying that although Tonight & Forever was the 1st of the Madaris series it was one if the last ones in the series that I read. Most authors debut book don't add up to the other books in the series but Ms. Jackson did not disappoint. The romance between Lorren and Justin was just heart stopping, especially the wedding. This book is definitely one of her better ones in the Madaris series. +5454 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Shifter romance. Book 2 in the Halle Puma Shifter books. Very enjoyable.

She ran away because of an unfair suspension which was the result of a fight with an aristocrat.

L.A. is the main character in "The Simple Art of Murder" an excellent collection of short stories by Chandler. In these pages we meet tough shamuses. world weary dames, corrupt politicians and cops on the make.

Can they be both friends and lovers? +Positives: +[I have now read a number of the mostly-negative Amazon reviews. Yes, this is a non-linear narrative, but I found that exhilarating rather than difficult. Others might be disturbed by the unreliability of the reporting, but it leads to some marvelous effects, such as the set-piece description of the meeting of Ada Merriman and Lambert Nugent in chapter 3 that is turned on its head in the last few sentences. It also makes it less a history of events than a psychological portrait of the narrator, which is surely the main point. As for the obsession with sexual organs, especially male ones, I see this in retrospect as a meaningful reflection of Veronica's trauma -- but I admit to being irritated at the time by what I took as merely a regrettable quirk of Enright's style.] +In one part of the book she "shot" the wolf (Jason) and while the others were running after the wounded wolf she was supposed to finish him off. She never shot him and told them she had mortally wounded him and he slipped away into the sewer system. There was no blood mentioned any where in this description and if he were mortally wounded there should have been blood which the other hunters did not notice. Jason didn't even cut himself to plant the blood on the ground. But later on in the book there was a pool of blood after a wolf got shot in the belly so it's not that werewolves don't bleed. That was just one of the inconsistencies. +Location 3047 "exquisite face as it shown with excitement" instead of "shone with excitement" +4639 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Rory Hennessy is firmly rooted in reality.

So in the interest of not spoiling his sister Bridget's ninth birthday party, Rory is avoiding the magician she insisted on having. The magician, however, is intent on Rory's participation. The result is a trick that Rory can't begin to explain or understand, and a cryptic message about Rory being in danger. +Besides the brutalities of war, the author is an amazing storyteller and his visuals sometimes beautiful such as The sea was thick beneath me, shining with phosphorescence that clung to my oars with each pull.

But it is not a spoiler. Christina is the daughter of Lt Col Patrick Matthews who is a test pilot for Boeing. He had wanted to be an astronaut, but did not qualify. Chris loses her mother at 12 yrs of age, and through her next 10 years or so, struggles with the deep loss. Her father has also become distant to her, thus she became very independent early in life. She was a tomboy: tough, confident, and one who's motto is, "Never give in, never give up." At a young age she had a solitary goal that she has set for her future. Finished with high school, Chris and her two very close girl friends form a close bond through the early college years. Chris decides to take flying lessons and her flight instructor feels she has a natural talent. The three girls face many challenges, and Chris seems to be the most logical and confident of the girls. She confronts every conflict they are faced with and becomes a hero. This story is simply written, easy to read, and may be more suited for older teenagers, but I absolutely loved it. Perhaps because it sparked my memories of flying years ago in a Beechcraft Bonanza where I experienced many adventures. I think this story may encourage many young people to set such high goals.

Alice feels like a living dead girl in a shell that is continually tortured. Alice is getting too old. Ray starves her to keep her body child-like and gives her pills to stop her period, because at fifteen years of age Alice has outgrown the ten-year-old physicality she had when Ray abducted her. So, Ray uses her to find his next victim. He sends her to the park to scope out a new girl to kidnap. Alice is not the protagonist's real name, but the name given to her by Ray. Ray himself is never physically described in detail, which brings to mind how it's said pedophiles can be the nondescript guy-next-door. This book is chilling and gripping. Because it's disturbing, I don't recommend it for everyone. +6894 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Longmire's personality comes across quite differently in the novel than in the TV series. Internal dialogue provides a sense of humor missing from the TV--not a fault of the acting, but rather a quality that can be developed better in books than on the screen.

Meeting Brett, Leo and Lisa through the out of the box series made me want to know soo much more about these characters. If you haven't read the out of the box set, On the edge is a great introduction to what you will get a whole lot more of in the rest of the series. HOT scenes between the trio, and the different combinations of duos too. I just reread the story again, and the second time around it is still as good as the first... now seriously thinking about reading the rest of them again too :P I love the personalities, and they all play off of each other in great ways. Thanks Kallysten for continuing to keep me aroused, entertained, and eagerly awaiting what ever series instalment you have coming out next. :) +The third section describes the socialist and communist literature and describes each type of socialism. He clearly dislikes socialists almost as much as he does capitalists. + +7194 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 loved it +1958 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Clean, full of heroism, adventure and realism. You do not have to suspend disbelief much, except for the overly modern morality and equality between characters of different class or gender. But, that's not a bad thing. The descriptions of weapons and battle tactics are borrowed from history, which lends to the authenticity. +The writing was great. I like this author. She really makes everything else disappear in the world while you read her. I have already down loaded another book by her. + +Very few authors can sustain excellence over a long series of books. Even with trilogies it is common to find one volume that is weaker than the rest. That is a part of what makes The Ranger's Apprentice series so amazing. The Battle for Skandia is the fourth Ranger's Apprentice novel and, like the trio that precede it, this is a marvelous read. The story is fast-paced and exciting and the action is described in evocative language that places the reader squarely in the world Mr. Flanagan has created. Unlike the characters in many other series, those in The Ranger's Apprentice continue to change and grow with each volume. I'd say this was my favorite book in the series, but honestly, it's very hard to choose one over the others. They are all that good. +But as decisions are being made on the future the plot thickens as the present and past are coming back to haunt everyone. Gossips are wagging, the papers are printing lies about the family and Garrett appears to be going mad. Again the ever helpful Fisk is there to help and again Sophie does not think he has the best of Garrett in mind. Tristan is determined to find out what has happened and what exactly is going on with this man that Garrett trusts so much but seems to have no past to connect with him excluding the battle. + + +Law is usually a boring subject for most of us and this book is written in a way that is never boring. You'll have yourself Googling a lot of what is presented here to validate the facts and you will be hard pressed to come up with any dispute. +1751 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 As the book description describes, this is a collection of 6 novels that are part of a vampire series. The first five books revolve around a group of vampires and their Chosen as well as a despicable branch of the CIA known as DPI. We follow them through the trials and tribulations of love while being hunted by the DPI. The final book that is part of this collection revolves around another vampire and his Chosen. +2598 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Lynne Graham's books provide a quick sexy romance fix for me and this one was no different. Rich, arrogant male stumbles across poor/down on her luck female; thinks the worst of her, beds her anyway which results in pregnancy. How they work their way thru their issues to become a family had angst but ends well. Won't be on the NY times top ten, but satisfied my needed "fix". + +3167 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Author Kidd must have satisfied her curiosity regarding bees as she researched this unusual subject ... then, transfers this knowledge on to her readers via this very unusual tale. She cleverly intertwines the biology of bees with African American culture in the 60's in the South. So smooth and so clever. Readers are in for a beautiful treat. + +by Linda Wisniewski +And if none of that sounds stupid enough to you, how about the part where the indian hero of the story makes butt beads out of vine and berries and sticks them in the heroine's butt to spice things up. Because what woman doesn't want berries shoved in her butt? Yea...the author was that ridiculous. +Longmire's investigation points toward Henry...Longmire's best friend, and uncle of the rape victim. As we follow Longmire's investigation, we meet the other key characters which will feature in future books: Vic (a transplant from Philly), the former sheriff, the dispatcher, a couple of more Natives, and a dog. +Robert Hicks, in his debut work of fiction, sets out to prove otherwise. With his own research around Franklin, TN, he has gathered facts and anecdotes to bolster his story of the infamous battle fought in this region. With his own history as a Southerner, he has unique insight into the mindset of those involved in the battle. But is he able to turn these strengths into a gripping tale which orbits the grim servitude of one Carrie McGavock, a woman who has lost three of her own children and now finds herself immersed in the lives of soldiers wounded and dying? +Briggs brings a lush, atmospheric feel to this particular story ("Though he smelled of anger, he also smelled like spring rain, wolf, and man"), as well as some unexpected plot twists and an ending that paves the way for future stories about Anna and Charles. And she does a good job dealing with the concept of "omega wolves" -- sort of a lupine "class clown" of very low rank -- and their importance to werewolves. +6034 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I was looking for someone else's book when I came across this one. This is my first book of Annamarie McKenna. I enjoyed this book very much. Annamarie writes strong characters, stronger women and the men who will love them. I look forward to reading more from Annamarie + + +Why is it banned? The whole book is child abuse and repeated rape. Nothing is presented to be titillating or erotic, rather it will disturb you. Disturb you to want to do something to prevent this from happening to any child. Other books I have read along this same vein are David Pelzer's memoirs (like A Boy Called It) and Alice Sebold's Lovely Bones. These books will wrench your heart. You would have to be quite mature to read this and I would say maybe 17 at the earliest. + +Brett Andrews had longed to own his own club and meeting Lisa, his vampire girlfriend was just the beginning of his good luck! Lisa had shown him the building and helped him make his dream come true with her silent partnership money that made On The Edge THE place for humans and vampires to be!! But, after they had been together for over a year, her previous lover threatened to take her away.............. +Lieutenant Eve Dallas has been forced to attend the Interplanetary Law Enforcement and Security Conference off planet on the Olympus Resort and she is none to happy about it. A chauvanistic retired police commander has a vendetta against Roarke. "Fathers. The case is lousy with them." Classic In Death. Really good. + +7420 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love this author. She never fails to make you feel a variety of emotions throughout her books. I did my share of giggling and also getting choked up during this story. Not to mention she writes fantastic love scenes. Here is something that I genuinely love about a lot of her stories. The parties fall deeply in love and a lot of the struggles and obstacles they have to tackle throughout the book are, for the most part, handled together. There is still heavy emotion and intrigue, but not because the whole story is taken up by them mistreating and/or believing something so wrong about the other party and then finally being clarified in the last 5 pages of the book. Did I particularly love the "surprise twist" everyone has been referring to? Well, clearly it's every author's own prerogative to write the things they do. I have mixed feelings about the way it all truly played out. However, I can still acknowledge that it was a fabulous story and incredibly emotional and passion-filled. I loved the mens' total devotion to Emi and their steadfast loyalty and protection. Loved it!!! And how cute were the Twins and how broodingly sexy was the Captain? Loved the personalities and all their fun interaction. +1907 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This series is awesome!! My two sons and I fight over who gets to read the new one first! + +897 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This book is free to download in amazon kindle store. I am happy to own it. +Ms. Cassidy's ability to describe events and situations is just +Who says gay love can't be tender & sweet. Lovely story of two lonely men who find true love in one another's arms. Original Dickens twist... great characters & story. +3171 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Superb, beautiful writing and story. I've not only read this novel but also taught it to students of all ages in high school. Can be taught on the simple plot or character line or studied in depth topically and as a study of writing style. Excellent and highly recommended! + + + +1985 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One of my son's absolutely loves this series. I was able to buy the whole set new here on Amazon and it arrived two days later with my prime account. I found the new price here on Amazon only slightly, and I mean slightly, higher than the used prices for these items on Ebay. Considering the price, and the excellent delivery options from Amazon, the choice was a no brainer. + + +Kendi, another major character, evokes similar feelings in that he needs to become more mature. For a different twist, he is in love with another man who recently rebuffed him. +This is a well written book that reflects the nature of the USA at that time in history. The writing is considered quite bigoted and racist by the way that we think today. However, I believe that the book reflects the thoughts and feelings of both the Native Americans and the European Settlers at the time depicted and needs to be read from that perspective. Don't judge the author by the nature of the characters of the time. They are accurately depicted in this historical novel +The Misters are trolls. These are not your cutesy little bridge trolls (or even the ones who hang out on discussion boards), that would be too easy. These are big, scary, long-fanged, gargly-voiced trolls with translation spells, definitely not adorable. +This is easy to read and David Kirkpartrick provides a journalistic approach with regards to the history of Facebook. It provides details on how Mark Zuckerberg started the company,its history during the early days,a chronicle of its success and missteps, and how it managed to climb atop the mountain of success. It also tells us the story of how Zuckerberg never wavered with regards to the vision of his company and how it dominated the internet particularly when it comes to social media. Added to that,it provides a narrative on the growth of the company and where it is headed in the years to come as a social network enabler rather than a destination that people will go to. It is definitely a better alternative "The Accidental Billionaires",a book that also tells the story of Facebook. + +Even crazier? I'm enjoying the book despite all those flaws. + +The author leaves us with not only a war cliff hanger, but a romantic cliff hanger as well, but she left us a great spot in the story. This was a fantastic story and I will be reading more of the books in this series. + + +So why did I give it 2 stars? Well, the premise was good, the book really makes things sound exciting, and the direct-comparisons showing the nutritional values of the HG versions next to the real things were a good tool. Some decent information was hidden within the pages. The book itself is mildly entertaining if you don't mind cutesy word play. It's just too bad that I thought a recipe book should be about palatable food, I guess. One thing about it - I would definitely lose weight if I attempted to eat only the foods made from these recipes. + +6442 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Nice quick novella, enjoyed it! +I didn't find any websites that do this type of breakdown, so maybe I should start one up! It really is needed, to get the full understanding of the plot and subtle meaning in what is being said. + +4009 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 read this one very fully with an open mind. getting rich, great and well is easy and needed by all. this is a must have!!! +Ms. Miles is so open, honest and inviting in her writing that it seems more a conversation than a book (I responded several times to her chatting). Her enthusiasm and commitment, as well as sound theology, led me to consider doing the difficult work of a Food Pantry. Her conversion is displayed by action, and is not limited to quoting scripture or directing a Bible study, although she does those things as well. She uses "real" (adult) language to speak of her being elation, frustration, delight, anger, joy, fear and the accomplishments she finds in becoming a Christ-Follower. She never tries to mask the difficulty of following Jesus. She invites the reader to consider the Gospel, a challenge made greater by her example. +If you like paranormal romance, get this collection. You won't be disappointed. All I was disappointed in was that I couldn't give it more than five stars. I am looking forward to obtaining more of her books for the Kindle or Nook. +The Ozarks + +I first read this book shortly after it was published in 1998 and I feel that it still reads well for a debut novel. If it were to be published now it would probably fit in the YA category. The story continues in First Rider's Call. +6266 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 loved them all didn't want them to end author is very vivid ..7 more words are required thank you you +9122 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I have read some pretty risqué and erotic books lately, this one certainly made me blush and say "whoa! Didn't see that coming..." +CONS: +A sadistic killer stalks teenage girls and malicious mischief and threats of harm start to pile up against Jenna. Steven is captivated by her but wounded by a past that shook him to the core. He's no closer to identifying and stopping a monster and he keeps messing up the relationship he desperately wants to pursue with the first woman to make it past his shields since his wife's death. Tension and stress reach explosive levels and keeping Jenna safe starts taking priority, but his family is falling apart and his job is becoming more and more frantic. There's just so much one man can take before everything goes boom. +The book was all sex...She dumps her cheating boyfriend and her best friend (who is male) tells her he wants to give her "lessons" in bed. She agrees, they have sex, tell each other they love each other...the end. +RECOMMENDATIONS: +6051 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 TJ and Jon are very HOT in this book. Christine finds love and pleasure she did not no exsited . +7787 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down. Jim Richards is a recently unemployed security guard, living with his parents and has just turned 60. While he wishes his life had afforded better opportunities, it is convenient living there so he can help his Mother with his ailing Father. +4653 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Mary Baxter has lost her young daughter to meningitis and her grief is so overwhelming that it's consuming her. Mary decides to join a knitting group where she meets a cast of characters that you will fall in love with. As the women in the group begin to teach Mary the stitches and finer points of knitting, they each slowly begin to reveal the secrets they themselves harbour. Only through telling their stories, is Mary able to reveal her own and ends up finding that there is love after death. +Though short I loved reading this. Number one, the whole idea of vampires and humans mingling and having fun on the dance floor and in the dark alcoves makes me shiver. It makes me want to put on my dancing shoes and a slinky dress! The second thing that made this a hit for me was how easy it was for me to slip into the story. Kallysten has a way of making a reader feel as if they're part of the story, not an outsider looking in. +6242 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Haven't got through them all. But the ones I have, wonderful! +3431 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 One of the best books I've ever read. Truly inspiring and insightful. Everyone whether you have or know someone with mental illness can find enlightenment from this book. Thanks to the author for sharing her story. +2158 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 A case of mistaken identity stripped Remington Lassiter of his humanity when he was viciously attacked and almost killed by a rogue werewolf in Without Reservations: With or Without, Book 1. Now he's trying to deal with the impulses of his new wolf nature, and it isn't helping his peace of mind that every time he gets anywhere around private investigator Jake Romero, Remi can't control his arousal. Finding out Jake is the one who saved his life by turning him werewolf and that Jake is his mate answers many of Remi's questions, but his little brother Sterling shows up, bruised and scared, and gives Remi a terrifying reminder of the consequences of being true to himself - and who would pay the most brutally for it. + +There are a lot of great books I would've missed had I not subscribed, and I love reading the blog conveniently on my Kindle. I also love the blog posts, tips, tricks and questions that are occasionally posted. I have learned things that have been very useful. This is the best .99 cents I spent since becoming a Kindle, um, addict. I wish I'd signed up a long time ago rather than recently. I hate knowing how much I must've missed!! + +Occasionally one of the brothers scented a female they thought was the One but found themselves wrong. Today however, when both Brodey and Cailean scent her they are sure it's their mate. So desperate to find her, Brodey shifts to track her. Elain and her camera man are leaving when a large black `dog' shows up. The `dog' is crazy for Elain and nobody is claiming him - what's she supposed to do? At the same time, Aindreas and Cailean are frantically trying to find their idiot brother - where the hell is he? +"Crossing Hitler" offers a wider audience the chance to learn about Hans Litten. He is a celebrity in Germany, with many buildings and streets named after him, and well known among those in the German legal system. Yet he is relatively unknown to the wider world. Perhaps Hett's biography can help that. Benjamin Carter Hett does a commendable job, but his narrative is too disjointed at times due to the amount of facts and figures he throws in, that it disrupts from the story at hand. Those facts and figures are important, just as telling the too little known story of Hans Litten is important, to help understand those horrific times in our world's history. +6299 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 When Harley brought home a crate full of foodstuff, plus a new hat for Anna Mae, he expected her to be excited. But she knew he didn't have the money to pay for such things, and then he told her he was going to help build a castle in Kansas of all places. The man had lost his mind and she told him so. Harley didn't take it well. He loved his wife, but that didn't give her the right to question his decisions. fter all, he was the head of his household and he had to do something. The drought had wiped out their crops,and if he didn't earn money they would lose the farm. This government job was a blessing, but Anna Mae couldn't seem to see it that way. +It's a fun ride; a great afternoon read. Highly recommended for fantasy or urban fantasy readers. If you like ghost stories, spooks and odd characters, you'll love Markhat and his friends. + +The Good: This will be said a lot as Bookworm reviews this series but it is no less true. The characters are what pulls this book through beginning to end. The best way to thoroughly explore a character is to take them out of their element and introduce new challenges to be thrown in their way. The author does this with all of the major characters to great effect. +Tara and Max was able to get to know each other as employee-employer first before they became romantically involved. At first it seem that the two would continue to hide and deny their attraction to each other. Like the way other people were introduced into the mix to make Max realize that someone else might get the girl if he did not make a move. +I truly loved this book and only gave it one star away from perfect because I choose not to share it with others for the first reason I mentioned above. I found myself having to skip those pages getting an idea of what was coming. I do appreciate the warning at least. But, call it pruddish or whatever else you may but I still believe in there being a lot more said when sometimes nothing is said at all but instead just understood. +After eight years of being missing Garrett returns wanting to resume his old life, only to find he has been proclaimed dead, his heir has become the new Duke of Calton, and his wife is now married to the man he once considered as close as a brother. How does he begin to get his life and his wife back? Does Tristan resolve himself to losing everything that he holds dear...Sophie? And how does Sophie choose between Garrett whom she loved passionately in her youth, and Tristan whom she loves deeply as a grown woman? +4508 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved this creative and intricate retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. It was a bit of a mash with Dracula and some Transylvanian folk tales tossed in the mix too. I am a total sucker for the fairy-tale redo, I'll admit it. I think Juliet Marillier may be a new favorite. +Okay I loved this story, but if you aren't into stories of threesomes or sex scenes then don't read this story. It is a quick read, but it totally had my attention. You get glimpses into the lives of the 3 characters in this book and some background. Im not usually one for short stories, but Kallysten always does such a fantastic job of sucking me right into her stories. + + +297 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I give this four stars because, yes, Marx's conclusions are insidiously evil and nuts -- simply changing the centralization of power from royals in feudalism, to industrialists in capitalism, and now to big government in communism. And the dissolving of the family, under the cancerous notion that the family is nothing but a unit of industrial oppresion and productivity? Insane. + +While there are some distracting holes in the story (How does Mary make a living as a pretty much part-time reporter at a local weekly magazine? How does she spend a week with a handsome stranger in Maine with only the clothes on her back?, etc.), the characters are memorable, endearing, and real. Even non-knitters will be sucked into the unfolding stories and stick with it until the end -- and maybe even learn to knit along the way. + +Tried sending it via manage your content, and did not see it at all. +The banter between the two was hilarious, and the sex was STEAMY!! +3668 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good read +2609 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I was happy I purchased this book for my P&P library. I found myself not wanting to put his book down. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5, well I found it to be a bit corny how the author used lines from not only both, the Hollywood version and the A&E version, but took some names of characters from spin offs of other books. +Ahhh....Science Fiction. I'm a closet nerd and Trekkie! LOL! Add in a hot mnage story with some M/M action and I'M ALL IN!! +9136 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Great sex and a decent plot although not too shocking as to who dun it. A little body painting might have been fun. +1699 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This book was given to me as a gift and I'm about 1/4th of the way through it and am not sure if I will finish it or not after reading these reviews. I am not pleased with the story and thought I'd check the reviews here to see if it gets any better. I'm having a hard time figuring out who is who. This is my first book by this author so when the other family members arrived,(when the engagement was announced) I'm like... who are they? They are called by name but if you have not followed the series you wouldn't know... are they Mr. Sherbrooke's brothers? Nathan's brothers? I've read other series by other authors and have never been so confused. The author must realize that the reader may not have read the previous books and every character must be identified. I felt left out. + +8521 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Nice romance book of second chances +6493 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I enjoyed reading Blind Malice, the first book in the Rachel Myers Murder Mystery series. We are introduced to Rachel at her father's funeral and within a few pages the plot starts to build nicely. As do the characters, particularly Rachel and her old family friend Isaac. We are treated to some delightful descriptions of the Appalachian Mountain locale that this story is set in and, by the end of the book, I felt that I had entered into the life of the character for a short period of time. + + +If you like funny, exciting, romantic, action-filled books, this is for you. Go for it! + +7481 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The whole series was great. As a person with a disability, it was great to read about someone who has a disability. Sheri who is legally blind, comes to Max's pack for protection from an insane rogue wolf. She and Adrien know they are mates but Sherri is afraid to claim Adrien because she doesn't want him hurt or killed by the rogue. Plenty of characters from previous books to include Max, Emma, Simon, Beth and Belinda (Belle) who is not the person she seemed to be in previous stories. Sit back, enjoy and be prepared to be entertained. +After that, go eat the real cheese cake and be done with it. (If, indeed, you still want it!) +I have a number of favorite quotes from all eras, depending on my situation and needs, but I found only one of them here and it was only one sentence - the problem: the quote really isn't relevant without hearing or reading the entire offering of about a dozen lines. + +2446 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book is designed to initiate the average reader who lives outside the beltway into some of the most important dimensions of the federal budget crisis --both as to today as well as looking into the future. The authors are quite skillful in using charts and illustrations, and a sometimes humorous approach, to discuss these concepts. And it is a sobering topic to be sure, since it involves Medicare, Social Security, the national debt, deficits, and other cheery topics. One only need read the second chapter ("So what's the worse that come happen?") to get scared out of their socks. That is, are we in year X (which is not too far away) going to be in a situation where the entire federal budgetary income can only be spent on Medicare, Social Security, a bit for national defense, and the rest to cover interest payments on the national debt? The authors take the reader step by step through what are the problems, how they developed into a serious crisis, some often mentioned but not realistic proposed solutions, and the defects of the political system which have contributed to the situation. For even those of us who live within the beltway, there is much to be learned from the book. For example, I was not aware that fully 34.8% of the federal budget income is derived from payments into Social Security, Medicare and other federal insurance programs. Unlike regular income from taxes, at some point in the future this increment will have to be paid back when those systems need the money. Multiply this figure times a decade or two and you begin to see the problem. About as palatable an introduction to this topic as one is likely to encounter. +My one critique, if I were to have any, would be that at times he expounds too much on areas that need little expansion. He goes to great lengths to flesh out each and every move these characters make, and the prose spans over a good length of time, and so some scenes could have been cut and some time could have been shortened to keep the pacing a little brisker in areas, but in the end it is a trivial complaint when you consider the richly rewarding entirety of the novel. I felt that the novel's ending was a tad premature (even if the novel spans nearly 500 pages), but it was not a disappointment in the least; it just felt a little too sudden for what I was expecting. + + + + + +Like Banville's narrators in other novels, the elderly Axel Vander of Shroud is unreliable and often dishonest, self-concerned but not self-aware. Consummately venal, he blithely takes advantage of whatever circumstances arise. Cass Cleave, the daughter of Alexander Cleave, the narrator of Banville's previous novel, Eclipse, has visions and seizures, and Vander regards her as mad, but she and Vander develop a relationship of almost religious significance. He is depraved and amoral, and she is a sick, avenging angel. +Although she trusts Gage, Hailey is nevertheless slow to trust his feelings for her as anything more than transient. But having gotten her attention with some really great sex, Gage easily wins her heart with his unending patience and the ways he shows her how much she means to him as a person and friend, instead of just a bed partner. +This is an altogether original and highly engaging mystery that will make you want to read more of the Martin Beck series. At least, that was my conclusion. Highly recommended. +And it flies so high that it can't be seen-- +putting aside money for the kids college fund +7158 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 i love love love this book, cant wait to read the next one in the series. just awesome to read +2657 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 When isn't Darcy sexy honestly? But Ms. Reynolds always manages to make him downright irresistible and having us curse our luck that he really doesn't exist! If you're not into the whole idea of our beloved couple "anticipating their vows," this story (and most of Reynolds' stories) isn't for you. I personally love them as much as the PG stories so write on! +Dr. Greg Hewitt is going on a vacation at least that's how his night should have ended; but he never made it home because he was kidnapped & then taken to a house, put into a bedroom & tied up to a bed. +583 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 This is it, the big kahuna of financial newspapers delivered right to your Kindle. You do not even need to get out of bed or off the throne to retrieve a soggy paper version from your snowed in yard. + +Throughout the book, there are a lot of comments similar to ". . .as you progress on the spiritual path, you begin to see/feel/experience X/Y/Z, etc." I have personally experienced many of these, as he says them to be true. Some examples: as you begin to achieve a higher level of consciousness: you feel more secure and positive about yourself, you exist in peace with others, you drop the habits of criticizing and complaining, life is no longer a competition "me" against "them", obsessive and compulsive thoughts lose their grip, negative thoughts are replaced by positive ones, you improve the atmosphere around you (by your presence), and many many more. (Personally, I have found it EXTREMELY difficult to be around negative people or people who disrespect others or themselves.) + +I don't listen to his radio show. I have never been a 'follower' of his system (because I didn't really know what it was), but, being on one income with two children, I have always been frugally minded. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. What began as an experiment to see exactly where our money was going and how we could do things better, has now grown into a new way of living, spending, and saving. We are/were not in a terribly bad financial situation as most of the people in this book were/are, but if there's a way we can better use our money? Yeah. I'm going to use it. +My personal star and hotness rating is.... + +9148 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Belle couldn't believe it when Sean Ryan, the handsome and renowned U.S. Attorney General, took an interest in her.

With a starring couple who are both over forty, Kate Davies offers a realistic look at love the second time around for those of us who are long past the first bloom of youth, but still young enough to entertain dreams of love and forever. + +9340 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The feeling s expressed by the doctor regarding impotency are true. Prostate cancer leaves one exactly that way. No man can explain it better. +Abagnale's recounting of his nightmarish stint in a French prison almost redeemed the nonchalance of his playboy lawlessness. And make no mistake, this is a book of self-aggrandizement. Despite that, it is a highly addictive read--Abagnale is as charming on paper as he must have been in person. You can't help but smile at some of the stunts he gets away with, although I was mortified at his tenure as a pediatrician (that may just be the new father in me). Still, for all the womanizing and bamboozling, CMIYC is the story of a dumb kid who was too smart for his own good, who started a scam as a lark but found himself painted into a corner with no way out but to keep going before he finally hit bottom. While his antics are infuriating, you still want to cheer him on. + +7. A Wicked Woman - A play about the most nave 19 year old woman on the face of the earth. I kid you not (3 stars). + +8869 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I am new to Georgette Heyer. And I am so ashamed of waiting this long to get here. +5019 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great for understanding the Old Testament. If you are confessed by some of the symbolism used this book helps you understand. I've enjoyed very much. +840 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I read this in a day, I'm hooked, sad that Julia died, but glad the ladies got even and Jack took care of the guys who attacked him and his friend. Good book. + + +6519 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This is another of those light-hearted novels that are so hard to put down. Henry Wright is a delightful character who gets in and then out of some tight spots. +6623 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 The story was great and made me think what if. They did get a little lucky with the skills of some of the adults they meet. Also seems theres a lil bit of craddle robber in everyone lol +Just like the Phillip Marlowe novels which brought Chandler his well deserved fame, these hardboiled shorter works are characterized by great dialogue and very effective descriptive passages. Reading this collection gives one an appreciation for the intelligence and craftsmanship Raymond Chandler applied to his writing. Highly recommended. + +retreat monastically speaking. + + +Highly recommended. +1533 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Liked the way the characters were developed. Enjoyed the progression of the story. Couldn't believe I had finished the book.....wanted more. +Synopsis: All horror films have that scene - the one where the scary music is playing and the stupid girl continues to walk through the house looking for the bad guy when any sane person would run as fast as they could. Dumb Blonde tells one girl's story of shadows in windows, scary music playing, and nobody believing her. +It is written in the first person - a challenge on its own, especially in such a detailed and driven story. The main character is engaging and human and it is impossible not to root for her at every stage. Something that I truly appreciated throughout the story was the connection between the main character and Ann Frank. At first I thought Francisco would have a difficult time making a clear and useful connection with Ann Frank, but my concern was proven wrong. This connection was deeply important and gives much meaning to the story. It is another world war, and the main character is very human, lonely (even though she is always surrounded by people), driven to care about others and her family, and the main character is somewhat nave, just as Frank would have been, considering her age. + +Highly recommend. +The author managed to really seduce entice you into bdsm. She takes away the fear. She made Antonio seduce me. +8144 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 So worth it! I was very plesantly surprised by this one. The three on one senairo works well. I would love to go on this adventure myself! There were a few characters that I would have liked to know better and a little more information about the main characters would've made this an even better story. All in all, a good quick hot read! +RadiantLit.com +3363 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 If you don't want to get a headache don't try to read this book. It can't even keep the names straight. +6529 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Actually, I was surprised when the book suddenly ended, I felt like I skipped some pages. That said , it is one of the better $0.99 books. +"Green Rider" comes to a satisfying and somewhat surprising conclusion, although there are enough loose ends to develop into a sequel. I'll be watching for the further adventures of Karigan, the horse, the Green Riders, King Zachary, and (if he isn't dead yet) the Gray One. +2685 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I'm a P&P addict! So of course, the characters of Darcy and Elizabeth are "sacred" to me. But I really, really liked this book! It's kind of like Jane Austen meets Sandra Brown, Jenny Crusie, and Linda Howard. Not as long and not quite as "spicey hot" as Berdoll's first book--although it is definitely hot (but believable) in places. + +Even though he intends this novel to register on a state and even regional level, Baxter maintains the story's focus on its title characters and on their "plain old married love." It has an amiably small, domestic scope, which certainly is no limitation, especially in the hands of a writer who is as fearlessly playful and fiercely intelligent as Baxter. Rather, SAUL AND PATSY is wonderfully and magically life-size. +Good old boy Wyoming sheriff gets the job done without flamboyance. +I finished the book, and thought it was really good; I couldn't get the brother, Clay, out of my mind. I really like his character and felt so bad for him. Little did I know, there was another book. Beyond Tuesday Morning. And guess what...Clay's back! +**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog.** +Dakota won't sell out her land to "Big Ed" no matter what he throws at her. Through fires, attacks and even stolen cattle she has held strong. Heck the man even hired her former "boyfriend" away. She has grown leery of people, especially as no one in town will help her. When Joe and Colt show up on her property looking for work she tries to send them on their way. Once they figure out she is the one standing alone against "Big Ed" they decide to take only yes for an answer. +Devil's Lair includes Latin and rarely used vocabulary words, as well as references to historical figures, ancient writings and philosophers, discussions of morality and ethics, and yet it moves forward quickly with a fast-paced plot, continuous action and complicated characters. In the style of the best literature, it turns out that each character is on their own individual journey in addition to the overall journey of the group, and each must face their own demons. Devil's Lair is an exquisitely written novel. +While people may be able to argue specific points, the overall book is fantastic and incredibly wise. Even though my family has always used credit cards to get the rewards associated with them and pay them off each month, Dave Ramsey's absolutely adamant opposition to their use does make sense and has caused me to question our usage. If nothing else, he sure makes you think! +4989 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Good study bible +8529 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 A wonderful contemporary romance with a beautiful ending. This book laid on my TBR list for a year, and finally I got to read it. A freebie from Amazon and worth it. + +As a first in a lengthy series, The Ritual Bath is a good introduction for the reader. We learn about the characters. Who they are, what their value systems and beliefs are, and how they meet. This back story is essential in understanding their motivations. If you like serial writing and enjoy the familiarity of characters and settings, this story is a good place to start. + +She wants to be free, away from his hot hands, his grasping and his hurting. No one sees, no one hears, no one does anything to help her. If she dares save herself, what is the cost? Where is freedom? Could it be the boy in the park and his little sister? The police woman? The neighbor? Please, somebody, before it's too late, too late, too late. +VBG +I'm going to start reading it tomorrow. + + +If you have ever had any doubts about your salvation this is a very interesting read. Not only does the author base his teachings on the words of Christ, he explains them in ways I've never heard before. I was very interested in his comparison between Nicodemus and the woman by the well. He also brings a much fuller understanding to biblical stories of salvation. + +3339 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Anything Julie Garwood writes I have read. She is one of my favorites.

Enright mixes together the fallacy of memories in general, the particular fallibility of childhood memories, the malleability of the past, and the license a novelist has to create a "memory" for her characters. + + +Nina Blackman is one of those people who wallows. She wallows in how poor she is. She wallows in her history. She wallows in her absolute misery with herself and who and what she is. And this is before she was turned into a vampire. She knows she is a miserable creature. She knows she is absolutely miserable. She knows she visits this same misery upon everybody who comes into contact with her. How do I know this? Because she goes on and on and on about it interminably. +Slowly the other pages and teachers learn to respect Aislinn for her unyielding determination in tackling her challenges. Aislinn struggles with her emotions as well as her mental and physical training. As she matures she also has to struggle with conflicting desires between her dream to be a lady knight and her growing feelings and friendship with Prince Caelan who is destined to be married for political and royal position. + +There is nothing new here. Carr, by his own admission, draws a lot of his material from Black Mass: the True Story of an Unholy Alliance between the FBI and the Irish Mob by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. The major investigative work was done by the Boston Globe's Spotlight Team and reported in the 1988 series, The Bulger Mystique. Reading the Globe's online articles about Bulger will give the interested reader more detail than Carr's book. + +The book begins on an almost violent note when Anna Rostoff and her sister realize that Nikos Stavrakis, Anna's ex-lover and father of her baby has come all the way to Russia and has taken possession of her infant son. +8999 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This author was refreshing in the sense that the charactera did battle with the fact that they were destined to be together and fought hard and together to be with each other; a definite must read... +9035 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 always enjoyed his writing. glad all these were put together, i couldn't put kindle down. thanks for the hard work + +Diaz also gives the reader a great deal about the Dominican Republic and the sort of seething anger which surely grows out of being from a small country that is at once under the thumb of a superpower, yet about which the people of the aforementioned superpower are almost entirely ignorant. Again, he accomplishes this in a way that, supported by the strong cables of his sense of humor, never descends to preaching. His characters continue to be interesting throughout, even as we can pretty much guess from the title where the book is heading. +4199 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I didn't know this outfit existed, as the author said, once it was disbanded, it was forgotten; overshadowed by D-Day. In fact I really haven't read too much on the Italian Campaign at all. But I read of a local (Washington, IN) veteran who was part of the FSSF unit. His daughter was going to DC to accept an honor being presented to the unit. That piqued my interest. + Maddox has a dark past, one that still haunts him. Iris offers him an oasis, a healing touch in the midst of the tropical island. But will Maddox allow himself to accept that he is worthy of Iris and her love? Maddox is one of my favorite types of heroes in a romance, one of those tortured heroes who focuses on the individuals he couldn't save. His heroism reached through the pages as his pain grabbed my heart and twisted. I wanted Maddox to have his happily-ever-after (HEA) and Iris was the perfect one to give it to him. +Editing/Formatting: 4 1/2 Stars +3287 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book as I know very little about Jewish community. Although the language is unknown to me the story was great. Being Jewish is more than a religion it is a race of people. I have enjoyed reading this book very much and hope to learn more. +I was not disappointed, great for Classic mystery lover. +The following nicely illustrates how net (new) investment (productivity increases) took place before medium of exchange, while (1) also illustrating how such net (new) investments spurred trade between separated communities; and (2) clarifying Marx's confusion as to what came first to alter social relations, (i) machines; or (ii) something else preceding machines... +The author supplied me with a copy of this manuscript with no request for a review. The views expressed in the review are my own. +TRADING IN DANGER starts slowly as Ky deals with her rejection at the academy, her first command (almost babysat by extremely senior crewmen and crewwomen) and her grandmother's notorious fruitcake. Once mercenaries attack the system where she is taking on cargo and intersystem communications are lost, the pace picks up as Ky is forced to deal with irrational crewmen, mercenaries who would as soon shoot as ask questions, and passengers who have their own ideas of what to do and aren't ready to take Ky's decisions as final. + +3305 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Loved these books, wish the first one was available on Kindle but it is not. Loved the actual training the SEALS do for an OP. Loved the chatter and fun they have getting ready and how they settle immediately into a serious frame of mind. I wish there were more at home parts when the SEALS are home and what happens when they have to leave again. The stories are great. Plan on reading more as soon as S.M. Gunn writes them. Two thumbs up!!!! Thanks, AmarilloTurtle +9848 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 It is the year 1349, deep in the Middle Ages still. The plague is killing scores of people all over Europe. The Pope is in Avignon, France, a corrupt individual; the world is enslaved by the Devil. He is now the owner of the Holy Grail, a stone cup once filled with the blood of Christ on the cross. The Devil has hidden it, deep down in Hell, in his lair. Four lovable characters, a poet, a kind of a monk, a knight and a girl who has visions embark on a journey to retrieve the Grail and save the world. They use Dante's Inferno as their roadmap so-to-speak. Lair is easy to read, though - or because - the prose is lyrical, rich and downright enchanted, and because the book really has a story to tell. I thoroughly enjoyed it, Latin and all. + +The hottie catches her in the parking lot and tells her he knows they've been watching him. He says she needs to come discuss the situation in private or he'll call the cops. Once inside his apartment, he gives her a choice: take him to dinner, or go to jail for peeping. + +I particularly liked the intrigue of this book better. I got caught up in the mystery as it unraveled (though I saw the younger brother's situation from a mile off... I think the revelation of that could have been planned better). I think the highest praise comes in the form of how the author treats the Native American influence. She presents it well but doesn't feel the need to invent things about the culture if she doesn't know anything about them (as a native man I am particularly sensitive to how natives are portrayed in novels/media) so job well done on that count alone. + +9144 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 It was free so no complaints, but would not purchase with money. It was a short story so for those that like short stories wouldn't mind this book for free. +3939 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 good info +In order to survive, all Proletarians should unite all over the world in order to conquer political power and to create a free society. +2369 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I think I was looking for something more clinical - a more technical text book. As it turns out, if you've got a real struggle, trying to facilitate these 7 conversations with out that neutral 3rd party is nearly impossible. For those of you who don't know, this is the basis of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy in a nut shell. The book is an easy read with lots of clinical examples - people you can relate to. However, we don't end up in relational troubles because we are GOOD at managing our selves. We get there because we are not. That's where the counselor can help. They call us out on our bull, and correct assumptions. +463 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 With a fantastic cover and title, "The Widow of the South" hints at love and loss, emotion and tragedy, and a war that still haunts many today. Unfortunately, not all novelists are fit to tackle such a subject. + +In this novella Bk. 1 of Werewolves in Love Series she introduces us to Taran and Lark (gotta love the names) who by chance happen to be cousins through marriage not blood. Both these tortured individuals happen to be in love with each other but don't know what to do about for several reasons. I love the Taboo story line :) +8945 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved Dani, Rowe and Justin. Some may say Justin was a jerk, but I think the author did a great job showing that he was exactly what Dani and Rowe needed. Very sexy stuff. +eidt + +8430 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Okay, I'm officially hooked.

I saw the movie before reading this book. Having seen the movie, I find objectivity impossible. +8357 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Tara has worked with Prince Max for several years and has loved him from a far. Now his has been looking for a wife and she has seen it up close and knows that she is not eligable for she is a commoner. Max has had his eye on her for a while and wants her. So he plans a suduction to get her to bed. She believes it will end badly. But other's on in on his suduction. Will she just be a mistress or wife? Enjoyed this story of Elizabeth Lennox. Can't wait to get more. +Ranger's Apprentice: The Battle for Skandia (or also known as The Oakleaf Bearer's) is about the continuations of Halt/Horace hunting down and rescuing Will and Evalyn. It also continues the plot of the Skandians and the beloved (although not very hug-a-ble) Erik. But when they are all finally reunited, Halt reports that he shall a small group of Temujai (a dangerous race of mounted warriors, reminding us vividly of Genghis Khan's and his Mongolian army) invading the lands of Skandia. +Character Development: 5 Stars +Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed + +I enjoyed this book as an audio book that I borrowed from the public library,on a long driving trip of several days. +Dirk's roof and therefore in constant danger. +6161 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 "Ride, Greenie, ride!" +1774 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Levin has great insight toward the SCOTUS. The reader cannot go wrong in exploring this book; the foundation of the work is based on solid research. +Machinery is no more an economic category than the bullock that drags the plough. Machinery is merely a productive force. The modern workshop, which depends on the application of machinery, is a social production relation, an economic category."(5) + +1878 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Very informative and in-depth. Has many surprises about the man that is a Marine hero. + +5151 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Love the Dark-Hunter series is a really good series. I love the writings by Sherrilyn Kenyon. If you haven't read any of her work you must. +5041 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 We all know the story of Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin man, and Lion, but I had no idea that L. Frank Baum had written numerous books about Dorothy and Oz, and each is more delightful. I think Baum actually improved his story telling and writing as he continued to create one story after another. I'm really glad I got it on my Kindle, it would be like an unabridged dictionary in book form. +7378 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Rebecca and Josh's story is dysfunction at it's best. You can just feel the resentment Rebecca harbors for Josh even though he is not aware why she resents him. Just that sh is competitive. The whole debacle of the going back and forth and how her family is to her will have you cheering for the flawed heroine. Read on and become enthralled by Dundee, Idaho. +7799 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Plot/Storyline: 4 3/4 Stars +And at a time when most researchers are finding wheat is a big contributor to many of the difficult to solve health problems too many people are plagued with, it is a mystery to figure out how these authors continue to think that eating wheat is just fine. +I can't wait to see who's up next! +I highly recommend this novel. + +Mary Ann - Az + + +507 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great read + +4370 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 I think there might be a very good story buried in this book. However, a great deal more editing is needed to find it. It suffers greatly from wordiness. Let me back up my critique with examples: At one point Elyssa reached into her pocket and "pulled out a handkerchief she had earlier placed there." How else did the handkerchief get there? She also walked over to her porch swing "that was hung out there." How could she walk to a swing that wasn't there? We are told in one short paragraph that the heroine's father died suddenly, unexpectedly and prematurely from a heart attack. Shouldn't the reader be allowed to infer all these things just by mentioning his death with barely grown children, or his age at the time? The author seems afraid to let the reader make their own conclusions, even obvious ones. +Part flashback, part thriller, part philosophy. We get impressions, memories, thoughts, dreams--it's like being inside of Alice's head. And of course the formatting is polished and pretty. + +6717 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I downloaded and read this book on my kindle, and couldn't put it down until I finished. The characters and situations are well written, the world is vivid, and the emotions are depicted well. Some parts felt a little bit forced to me and some aspects of Elysia seemed to jump a lot, but overall, it's a fast paced read that is completely worth it. +Jennifer Cameron-Smith +I'm going to talk about the world building initially rather than the characters as I think the concept was pretty unique. Vampires actually originated from the technologically advanced, ancient Atlantis. They combined nanotechnology with bioengineering. These nanos which live inside their bodies require blood to keep the vampires in optimum condition. Vampires aren't allergic to the sun but it does mean the nanos have to work a bit harder to repair them and need more blood. It kept sparking memories of the epic science fiction show "Red Dwarf" which featured recalcitrant nanos. +The tasks that Will must perform are difficult and arduous, both mentally and physically, and the weed that Will is given genuinely seems to help him get through it all. That is what makes drug addiction so insidious. No one chooses to become addicted, they feel like they genuinely need it in order to get through their lives and before they know it, they cant live without it. This is never expressly stated but it is there and some readers may be shocked at such a portrayal. + +1931 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The third volume of this immensely popular fantasy series for the younger (and, umm, slightly older) reader is as much fun, as much action, as much excitement and drama as the preceding two volumes combined. Given the epic, brilliant, overwhelming cliff hanger type nature of the ending to book two, however, ICEBOUND LAND opens up in a way that, it must be said, is relatively timid. Sure, Halt and Co are all worried sick about the plight and welfare of Will and young Evanlyn as they are hijacked by some of the storys baddies, and led (presumably) into a life of depraved, mind bending and back breaking slavery, but the two young characters in question are not showing all that much physical or emotional hardship over the matter. At least, not yet, anyway. +5675 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Each and every one of Christine Feehan's books are very interesting and I can never put the book down. I normally read a book in 1 to 2 weeks, but once I start her GhostWalker books, I can't put them down. She puts a spin on each and every one of them that is intriguing and catches the interest of the reader. I love her books! I have read everything she has every written and am looking forward to receiving the next Dark series book. Murder Game, as well as all the other GhostWalker series books, are exciting and intriguing and full of different spins and an enjoyment to read. I loved this book as I have all the rest of the GhostWalkers series books. + +All in all, this is one fun little series. The bad guys can be nasty, the good guys are chivalrous, and the weather can kill you. Throw in some sexy times on a dance floor and a couple of catty wolves (meow!) and I was hooked! +7115 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 This story is a great begining to the Leopard Series. I like that each story in the Leopard series can stand alone. Christine Feehan has a wonderful imagination. Her books read like a movie. + +Secondly, I also challenge her to look into a faith in God that she may be holding back. It seems she was tempted to attribute the 'coincidental' occurences in the book to Him, but she held herself back by only saying 'someone' was looking out for the main characters. Of the couple times that she mentions God by name, one is at a moment to blame Him for what 'went wrong' and another is to reduce Him to a buffet style God that one can pull apart for the pieces that are convenient to us. And with this again, I challenge her to be different. + +8073 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I think I enjoyed Amber Eyes a little more than Golden Eyes, and I thoroughly enjoyed that novella. Kaya was enjoyable to read and watch come to get use to the human world she had long since stopped from trying to enter. Also for Hunter and Jericho to learn to love again. +I didn't feel any great fondness for the first book in this series, and feel the same about this one. Just substitute vampire for werewolf and it's pretty much the same book. Nina is obnoxious and annoying. Her constant swearing and way of speaking drove me insane. I found myself wanting to see her quit "feeding" so she would turn into dust and the book would be over. At least it was short. +But as agent Daly investigates the case, he begins to realize that the Professors research might be his way to a successful retirement from the F.B.I. +4645 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I listened to this on audio book and the reader, at first, sounded horrible, but luckily she got better. This has been the best book I've "read" recently but be warned that it is a bit sad and depressing but there is hope. I listened to it over Xmas, probably not the greatest time of year . Each character has had a major tragedy in her life and thru knitting, she is offered hope of getting thru and forming friendships with other knitters. I do think it dragged on a bit, though, could have ended a little sooner. +Talia +*END SPOILER* + +a man that sounds like Stone's Uncle Corey, who allows no +3909 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 While I enjoyed "Without Reservations" I found "With Caution" to be a more interesting read. I liked the relationship between Jake (older man) and Remy (young/inexperienced). That virgin gay sex is really hot! I also appreciated the strength of the relationship between Remy and his younger brother Sterling. It is a true representation of the bond of brothers. I'm hoping there will be follow-on book since it's apparent that Sterling may have found his mate too. Not going to say more so as not to spoil the fun. +3485 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Ahh Maggie Shayne. All those years ago, back when the imprint was Silhouette Shadows, Eric Marquand stole my heart. The first book I ever read to make a vampire the romantic lead, you kicked off a genre that has exploded and will not be stopped. Truly groundbreaking, I thank you so much for leading the way and clearing a path for more. + +All in all I enjoyed this read - 3.5 stars + +1-2-06 + +What starts out as a hasty rescue winds up as more of a heartfelt romantic tale complete with smart, sassy and sexy dialogue as only Emma can conjur. This is one short tale that packs alot of romantic pillow talk and honest character development that will make you "sigh" and beg Emma for more, more, more of those West/Evans's stories. +-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal + + +At this time in history Japanese forces have overrun much of coastal China and are pushing toward southeast Asia. The sensei is actually in Malaya as an agent to prepare the way for their forces to invade. The Japanese have developed a European model of conquest to their bushido code of duty to become the masters of their part of the world. The question for the conflicted teenager is how he can save his family from the rapacity of the Japanese war machine without completely dishonoring his own cultures. This conflict plays out throughout the novel. It is a Hobsons choice, with no good answer, but it provides a fine vehicle for examining the questions and cultures involved, much as The Nightengale did for German-occupied France. + This is regrettable because Levin does succeed in explaining, particularly to lay audience, the history of the Supreme Court and its rightful place in American government, which are subjects that most people don't understand. The mechanics of the court system are not, for most people, comprehensible, much less exciting. Here, Levin provides solid scholarship accessible to the average person. +8389 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Haines Wyatt's house is haunted and not just by one ghost. Jo comes in to try and exterminate them and they both end up with more than they bargained for. +Baker contrasts the struggle of life in the city with the fantasy world of the Coney Island amusement parks.

Entertaining. Good use of language; no editing errors, typos or misspellings. +8641 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 1.0 Wow! What a total waste of my money and time. I assume this was self-published? Does the author not have a few friends capable of proofreading the book for her? I didn't get past the first 5 or 6 pages on my kindle. Multiple unintelligible sentences in a row was too much for me. I was trying to ignore the messy and poor writing, but when it reaches the point where you can't even guess what the sentence was supposed to be, it's time to give up. +[Also available at my blog.] +6609 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Weekend Pick Me Up - Surviving The Fog by Stan Morris +1060 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 What can I say?

My first time reading, there were parts that caught me so off guard that I literally screamed. Wildwood Dancing will certainly not collect dust on my bookshelf, and I recommend it to anyone, young and old, looking for a dreamy romantic fairy-tale. And I would also rec commend reading other books by Juliet Marillier, especially Daughter of the Forest. +I was delighted in reading the book to find the word "highfalutin" in the text. The world seems somehow to be a more charming place for the unexpected presence of such a light-hearted word in the midst of a serious text. +7728 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 This book looks like a good start to a exciting series. Never ending excitement along with never ending murders. I am looking forward to the next book. +A man finds his wife stark naked in the bed of another man just hours after she tells him that she wants a divorce and that she's in love with someone else, and that she's going to him. The 'other man' (who happens to be her best friend) all but brags to the husband (Patrizio) that he slept with his wife (Keira), and Keira backs up his story. Of course he is going to be angry, bitter, and resentful. Of course he is going to lash out. If he didn't, he would've seemed like a cuckolded weakling, and I would've really hated that. +3030 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 West coast point of view but it is interesting... + +9599 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love Mary Roberts Rinehart +I will also say that the girls all take being Pumas in more stride then I would. I mean really. +1725 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 this is a story that keeps you reading. It draws you in and keeps you reading just love Maggie's stories. +Action: 4.0: +3881 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Move over Fifty Shades of Gray. Nikita Black is hear. This was a very hot read. Nikita worte ina way that was tasty and fun. We all need a little dirt in our lives. Check out her other books. +I was hooked from the moment I started reading the story. Duke and Viola are charismatic, interesting characters and the dynamic created between them was fascinating. The story was exciting, with a ton of twists and turns. It had magic and intrigue, betrayal and loyalty from unexpected places. There was pain and there was humor. Aggie, Duke's grandmother, is one of my favorite characters in the book, being everything to Viola that her own family was not. This was one of those books that you fell into and felt as if you were a part of the story. I definately recommend clicking one of those "buy it" links above and picking it up! +The first-person narrative pulls readers in quickly and introduces them to the action and the world effortlessly. I like the humor, the puns and the jokes, a lot. It fits the characters perfectly. And now, with Ravirn's mysterious future slightly more clear, I can't wait to see where the third book takes him. I'm definitely going along for the trip when the book comes out. +2858 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Beautifully written! I will read it again. +I can't recommend these books strongly enough. I would also strongly recommend reading them in order. That order would be (year of original publication noted - though the books themselves take place in the space of only a year or two): + + +4274 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I read this to my 6 year old daughter and she just loved it! Winnie the Pooh has such wonderful characters for little children. I loved how this book made my daughter laugh! I also love how I didn't have to worry about language in the book. Each chapter is a short story of Pooh's adventure. + + +4061 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Great plot and new ideas . The characters are consistent and believable. The suspense is phenomenal and the pace just right to keep you wondering but not ever bored. +Levin also argues against other things that many American's cherish, like the right to privacy. True, there is no explicit right to privacy granted in the Constitution, but that doesn't mean it isn't an implied right, intended by the nation's founders. Surveys show that the majority of Americans feel that privacy is a right and should be Constitutionally protected. Levin feels it is not a right and that the Supreme Court should not treat it as such. It's interesting how the book so Levin so quickly changes his position on democracy and the importance of upholding the will of the people when they vote something into law. If a vote of the people confirms the right to privacy, one would think that someone like Levin would agree that it should be made into law. But based on his other convictions in this book, he would likely be against it, in direct contradiction of some of his other stands on the issues and the Supreme Court's authority to decide them. + +6323 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Found this book through one of my LinkedIn groups and thought the synopsis was good. This book is well written with action that moves quickly and keeps you reading well into the night. The premise is a fresh take on apocalyptic conspiracies. The characters are complex and involving, making you care what happens to them. And there are unexpected twists that will have you on edge. Although set well into the future, the events are plausible and a little frightening. I can't wait to read the next book. Kudos to Michael Rusch for a great novel. + + +This was the same woman who has written The Bride and The Secret and so many other funny, warm, poignant romances with great alpha heroes and quirky fun heroines. I have read and re-read all of her early paperbacks from the 80s and 90s. She's on keeper shelf. +Many papers translate poorly to the kindle, like Newsday rival NY Post or just cost too much like the Baltimore Sun and Wall Street Journal, but Newsday works well and is priced right. +History has shown us, that much of this information is inaccurate (China, Russia, Cuba,...); and that communism is a great way to make people lazy, and caught up in paperwork. +7033 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I loved this book. The A&E series got me interested in this author. I will be getting the rest of the series. +Suetonius had first hand knowledge of many of the Caesars who followed the Claudians, and ready access to the archives of the imperial family and the Senate, given his imperial posting. +4365 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I love modern retellings of Pride and Prejudice. While there are some differences in events between Louise's novel and Austen's it does not take away from the novel. I seriously could not put down this book and read it in a day! Louise's spin on events is creative and captivating. From William's ingenious way of handling Elyssa's anger towards him to his oh-so-romantic proposal the reader is taken in and events seem to come full circle. One thing I love is when an author takes events at the beginning of the book and they are referenced or mirrored with events towards the end. Louise is great at this in all of her novels I have read thus far. The emotions I felt while reading Drive and Determination went right along with what the characters'. There were times I teared up, became exasperated, laughed, and swooned. Louise is also remarkable at creating sexual tension and romance between her two main characters all while keeping on their clothes and not at all indecent. This entire book was a delight! You really must read this book, especially if you loved Darcy's Voyage like so many others have! +1037 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 I got more news than from my local paper. + +2193 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I gave 5 stars because it was easy to read and I liked the language. I recommend this book to anyone who likes the Secret and Think and Grow Rich +1396 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I read this book years ago. And then my book club picked it this last month. Still great the 2nd time around! + + +- I liked Kasey's brother, Garrett, quite a bit. He's flashy and flamboyant with a "devil take it" attitude, yet he also knows when to be serious and is very protective of his twin. + + +Did I mention, I LOVE THIS BOOK!! Thank you, Sue Monk Kidd! + +from the first chapter when the aged hero is asked "where is your family" and he says "they are all dead"; you know this is a book of a tragedy. and one by one it the deaths unfold. But first you get to know them as they were and remain in the heros mind. So this is a book of Memories, and it even says at one point, memories are all we have, once we are old. +4609 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 While this novel takes some liberty with some aspects of occupation, it is very carefully research and makes war history told acurately. It is a spell binding read. +Of course there are numerous misunderstandings, especially including George Westham. My favorite parts are when "Lizzy" and "Will" play in the water by the shore in Guatemala, when Will is taking care of "Elisabeth" when she is taken ill, and when they meet again in Chicago at the Coffee plant. The book is a page turner for sure and I had a hard time putting it down. I like Kara Louise's story telling skills, which is even more noticable in her book "Pemberley's Promise", which is my favorite Pride & Prejudice variation to date. +2472 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 none +Of course, the sensible sister tries to talk some sense into her. Her other sisters aren't sure what to do. +4872 Kindle_Store_5 NEG 2.0 Short, cutesy, and rote! It was over before you had a chance to 'know' the characters strenghts and weaknesses... +1868 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Why are women still underpaid? Does self-esteem and earning six-figures go hand-in-hand? Do women place financial limits on themselves? With insight and practical real-world guidance Barbara Stanny helps us discover our inner six-figure woman. Are you ready to find the answers? + +4636 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I couldn't wait to get my hands on thiss book, especially after reading the first one. This book did not let me down. I read it entirely too fast! I've been dying for the third to come out! + + +But unfortunately, this one just wasn't one of his best efforts. But I shouldn't be the one to talk--after all, HE is the one who later put out _The Feast of Love_ and very nearly got one of the big prizes, and I just sit here typing this review. +38 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 What a read this book will be for those who decide to pick it up. Nicolas Van Tassel stumbles, in a tragic fire, upon a woman whom he finds himself completely consummed with. Suddenly his entire purpose in life is to have her, marry her, and if possible, win her love back. +9198 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 The book was an easy read and the story moved quickly. Not particularly descriptive when it comes to the characters but still an interesting story. +sexy and Jake's desire and concern for Remi is endearing. I love them +9041 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 Actor Ryan Kellar and his lover Josh Bauer have gone through a lot together. Their relationship survived being outed in the tabloids and a great deal of turmoil. Now Ryan wants to take the next step. If Josh will have him, Ryan wants to make his lover his husband. +8960 Kindle_Store_5 POS 5.0 I'M sorry i'm late with my review . I thought i sent one.the merch is in good cond. Thank you. +1541 Kindle_Store_5 POS 4.0 Faye Kellerman has done it again. What a compelling read. The characters are so believable, who wouldn't fall in love with Rina,such a strong willed person. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a compelling mystery.
