Title: Hunters Specialties Folding Saw; Brand: Hunters Specialties; Review: I carry this saw with me everywhere I go in the woods, whether its hunting, hiking, or camping this saw is a must have for all my outdoor adventures. Great price, and durable product that the blade is stiff enough that it doesn't bend when being used. I have 5 or 6 buddies with the same saw and we all agree it is a must. Wade Vertina; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hunters Specialties True Talker Deer Call; Brand: Hunters Specialties; Review: One of the best calls I have ever owned! I have never had a problem with this call freezing up in the cold MN winters. Very well constructed call that produces a tone that mature bucks can't resist. Wade Vertina; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hunters Specialties Camo Furniture Dove Chair with Back, Realtree Xtra Green; Brand: Hunters Specialties; Review: Whether your sitting over a waterhole antelope hunting or sitting in a turkey blind this small compact fold up chair is perfect! It is lightweight and easy to fold out and is comfortable enough for more that just a one hour sit. I have used this chair on many occasions and I a very happy to have this whenever I need a place to sit.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hunters Specialties Realtree Xtra Green Leafy Head Net; Brand: Hunters Specialties; Review: Very reasonably priced product that is a must to hit the turkey woods with. Great color and is amazing for breaking up your outline so you don't get silhouetted. I would recommend this product to all turkey hunters and deer hunters alike.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Scent-A-Way 24 oz. Odorless Laundry Detergent by Hunter's Specialties; Brand: Hunters Specialties; Review: I am a firm believer is this product, it will eliminate all kinds of odors that linger in your hunting clothes. I use this product throughout the entire hunting season to make sure my clothes are as odor free as possible. Wade Vertina; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hunters Specialties Super Mag 6; Brand: Hunters Specialties; Review: Who hasn't ever been in the predicament of trying to hang up you harvest by yourself. I know i have been plenty of times but with this lift system it makes hanging your quarry a breeze. It works great and has a locking mechanism so when you get your game in the air it doesn't drop back down to the ground. The only downfall is the rope gets tangled when its in storage and you have to untangle it when you need to put it to use.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Scent-A-Way Field Wipes by Hunter's Specialties 24 wipes; Brand: Hunters Specialties; Review: When your walking out to the deer stand you sweat and these work great to give yourself a quick rubdown when you reach your destination. I always carry a few of these in a ziploc bag to take care of any lingering odors that could arise. I have been trusting these wipes for a couple years and they never seem to let me down. I would highly recommend these to any hunter that is worried about any scent that could be lingering.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Red Lantern House; City: Beijing; Review: We stayed here in March 2008 when we travelled through China. We liked this hostel so much that we even cancelled another accommodation we had booked near the Great Wall of China to stay here longer. It is a little tricky to find, but worth the effort! We had a double ensuite room - very clean and spacious. The food served in the restaurant is very nice!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Volcano Places; City: Volcano Island of Hawaii Hawaii; Review: We stayed in the Nohea Lodge at Volcano Places in September 2011. The lodge is charming and has an indoor hot tub. This is a great palce to stay when visiting Volcano National Park and I would highly recommend having dinner at Kiawe Kitchen - one of the best pizzas I have ever had!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Verandah Resort Spa All Inclusive; City: Saint Philips Saint Philip Parish Antigua Antigu; Review: We stayed at the Verandah Resort and Spa in July 2009, not long after it had opened. The rooms are large and spacious and have beautiful views of the ocean. The beach was lovely and a great palce to snorkel or kayak. I just wish there had been a few more restaurants to choose from, but overall we had a lovely time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton La Romana an All Inclusive Adult Resort; City: Bayahibe La Altagracia Province Dominic; Review: We had a lovely time at the Dreams La Romana Resort in July 2010. One of the best all-inclusive resorts I have been too. There is a lot of choice for restaurants, we went to a different one each night (and our favourites twice!). The inifinity pool is refreshing with a lovely view of the ocean, and the pool bar serves a good selection of drinks. There was plenty to do and I am looking forward to trying another Dreams Resort in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Banyan Tree Phuket; City: Thalang District Phuket; Review: We stayed at the Banyan Tree for a week in March 2012 in a Deluxe Villa, with an outdoor jacuzzi and outdoor bath - very romantic! The resort is beautiful, the villas are lovely with an authentic Thai feel to them and the beach is perfect for laying out and enjoying the sun. Incense and bottled water are provided in the room, and by the pool and beach you are treated to cold bottled water, cool towels and a water spray to help against the heat. It was great to see the baby elephants, who visit the resort everyday at 10am just outside the breakfast area. We enjoyed a lovely Lomi-Lomi massage at the spa and took advantage of the free gym. It was my birthday while we were there and they provided a complimentary bottle of wine and a cake - a lovely surprise! There are a great selection of small thai restaurants along the beach, if you do not fancy eating in the resort. There is plenty of choice at breakfast, and as I had mentioned that we are vegetarians, they made sure we were happy with what was on offer. A truly lovely resort!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort; City: Puako Kohala Coast Island of Hawaii Hawaii; Review: We stayed at the Hapuna Beach Resort in September 2011 for four nights. The hotel itself is lovely, with clean rooms and a very nice gym that is free for guests to use. The restaurants are a bit expensive, so we decided to buy breakfast and lunch from the hotel shop which had a lot of choice. As we had a car, we drove to the nearby Queen's Marketplace for dinner most evenings. The beach has lovely white sand and is very quiet. On our first morning on the beach we even saw dolphins swimming past. The snorkelling is fantastic and we spent a lot of time looking at the lovely colourful fish and turtles. I would highly recommend this hotel for the beach and snorkelling alone!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Royal at Atlantis Autograph Collection; City: Paradise Island New Providence Island Bahama; Review: I have stayed at Atlantis a few times with my family and partner and have always enjoyed it! The last time I visited was in January 2009. There is a lot to do around the resort, including the water slides and the aquarium. The food is great, though a little expensive - my favourite restaurant is the Atlas Bar and Grill (reasonably priced). The cove beach is lovely and a great place to snorkel from. I once saw a reef shark and a sting ray come into the cove! I have stayed in the Royal Towers (very nice!) and the Coral and Beach Towers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Frozen Disney Anna's Snow Cap and Braids; Brand: Frozen; Review: I bought this for my 3 year old (turning 4 in 2 months) daughter as part of her Princess Anna costume for Halloween. It is good quality and inexpensive! It complements her Princess Anna dress costume. However, I give it 4 stars only because I did not like the idea on how the ribbon secures the head gear. They used Velcro on one side of the cap and on one end of the ribbon, it was too loose on my daughter and there was no other way to adjust it. The ribbon knot you see in the picture is just a design, you can't untie it. So, I cut the ribbon in the middle and just tied a knot to properly fit and secure the head gear, it fit perfectly BUT you could barely tie a bow and it was so hard to untie. Also, don't just let it lay around anywhere, hang it somewhere to avoid the braids from messing up. Other than that, I highly recommend this product!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shopkins Season 4 Mega Pack Bundle of 20 Shopkins, 6 Shopping Bags, 1 Shopping Basket and 1 Collectors Guide; Brand: Shopkins; Review: Got this at a discounted price! My daughter loves it! So many characters!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kangaroo Deluxe Pretend Food, 120 Piece Set; Brand: Kangaroo; Review: They are smaller than what I expected and I am quite disappointed with the juice cartons and waffle mix, I thought they were also plastic. They can't even stand still especially the "canned goods". But quality of the other food items are good. My daughter loves it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Rockin' Rider Painted Rocking Pony Ride-On; Brand: Rockin' Rider; Review: What I love about it is that it is lightweight; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Assassin's Quest (The Farseer Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's Robin Hobb Page; Review: A great series with very well developed characters and face paced action. Love them all!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fool's Assassin (Fitz and the Fool); Author: Visit Amazon's Robin Hobb Page; Review: A little slower pace than some of the previous Fitz and Fool books, but still a very good book with very in depth characters that I have come to love.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Blight of Muirwood; Author: Visit Amazon's Jeff Wheeler Page; Review: I love Jeff Wheeler's complex characters. The heroes have flaws and deal with difficulties but in the end reward the reader with a very enjoyable and adventuresome story line. Very excited to keep reading the series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Wretched of Muirwood; Author: Visit Amazon's Jeff Wheeler Page; Review: Jeff Wheeler created an exciting new world. It took me a bit in the beginning to understanding all the new titles, places, and words, but once I did I was hooked! I could hardly put it down. The characters were developed well and seemed real and alive to me, and the story-line was unique and full of magic, treachery, love, and friendship. A very clean and exciting read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Way of Kings; Author: Visit Amazon's Brandon Sanderson Page; Review: Amazing depth of story and creation of a brand new world. Sanderson's ability to build characters, create settings, and deliver a fast-paced adventure is always a pleasure to read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Paths of Alir: A Pattern of Shadow & Light Book 3; Author: Visit Amazon's Melissa McPhail Page; Review: Very developed and complex world-building here. Love the story!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Without Faith (Soulless) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Ashley Lauren Page; Review: What a great book! Can't wait for the next one. I loved the mix between fantasy/having powers, action, and romance. The characters seemed real, having both redeeming values as well as flaws. The author did a really good job creating internal and external turmoil and tension in the characters. A very fun book that kept me up late at night!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deceived (Mindspeak series) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Heather Sunseri Page; Review: A great continuation of the series. Fast paced, exiting, with many twists and turns. the Characters are well developed and real. A very fun read! I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Keeper of Dragons: The Prince Returns; Author: Visit Amazon's J.A. Culican Page; Review: An absolutely entertaining story of magic, love, and intrigue encompassing multiple worlds, people, and cultures. I loved the characters and setting. The hardest thing about it was having it end. Wished it could have gone on longer. Definitely excited to read the next book when it comes out!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Scourge of Muirwood; Author: Visit Amazon's Jeff Wheeler Page; Review: Loved the character development and exciting continuation of the story line.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Locked Up; Author: Visit Amazon's Jay Harris Page; Review: What an intense and enjoyable book. I felt drawn into the story immediately and the author's descriptions made you feel you were right there with his characters. Very unique story line. A mix of thriller, mystery, adventure, and science fiction. Anxious for a sequel!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DiSemblance; Author: Visit Amazon's Shanae Branham Page; Review: I absolutely loved this book and had a hard time putting it down each night. The relationship between Jason and Boston, Jason and Issac and their father, and Boston and her mother were developed so well I feel that I know each one of them. After a few chapters of setting up the relationships and the awesome Hologram machine the non-stop action started and kept going until the last sentence. I really enjoyed everything about this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Infinite Time: Time Travel Adventure (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's H J Lawson Page; Review: A really liked the premise of this book - someone who time travels, but doesn't know how he does it. Time travel inherently comes with the possibilities for twists and turns, and some confusion. However, in Infinite Time the author writes a great, adventurous story, while keeping the time travel fairly simple. I love routing for the underdog and someone who seems just an ordinary person and watching them stretch themselves and become so much more. A great ending that left me wanting more and wondering who should I trust.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Evensong (Meratis Trilogy) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Krista Walsh Page; Review: I loved the premise of this book and really got hooked reading until about 1/3 through the author felt the need to start repeatedly using the "F" word. It was such a turn off to me that I stopped reading the book and will not finish it. I loved her writing style and was intrigued, but there is no need to have that kind of language. A five star book turned into a two star for me.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Boston's Quest (Holoquest Fantasy Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanae Branham Page; Review: A wonderful and thrilling continuation of DiSemblance. This book takes off shortly after the ending of the previous story and delivers just as an exciting ride as the first book did. Teens trying to balance out relationships, grief, guilt, and friendships is supported by an underlying science fiction/ gaming theme that is incredibly original, exciting, and unique, sometimes leaving the characters to wonder if what they are seeing and doing is real or not!. Can't wait until the next book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Benjamin Ashwood: Benjamin Ashwood Book 1; Author: Visit Amazon's AC Cobble Page; Review: Benjamin Ashwood was a very enjoyable book and written very well.

Looking forward to the next book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Requiem for Dragons; Author: Visit Amazon's Daniel Arenson Page; Review: I read the entire trilogy at one time. The story was exciting, well written, and unique.

Title: Priceless; Author: Visit Amazon's Tamara Hart Heiner Page; Review: Having not read the previous books, I was worried at first, but it was written so well that I was still able to thoroughly enjoy this one.

I received this book from the author in exchange for a fair review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Discern (Katon University) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Andrea Pearson Page; Review: A great start to what I anticipate being a great series.

Simple to read, suspenseful, and clean.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Soulstealer's Child; Author: Visit Amazon's Brandon Gray Page; Review: What a unique and imaginative story! I can honestly say I have never read a book like this before.

Title: The Keeper of Dragons: The Elven Alliance (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's J.A. Culican Page; Review: What another great book by J.A. Cullican. I enjoyed this as much as the first book.

Title: Ancient Guardians: The Legacy of the Key (Ancient Guardian Series, Book 1) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's S. L. Morgan Page; Review: what a fun story! The characters are very well developed and relate-able; you will see in them people you know in your own life. The story takes place in both earth and another dimension. A cross between fantasy and a little sci-fi. Will definitely pick up the next book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Keeper of Dragon: The Mere Treaty; Author: Visit Amazon's J.A. Culican Page; Review: A great continuation of the series. I love the growing development of the personalities of the main characters throughout the series. This book started a little slow and narrative for me compared to the previous books, but at about mid-point the action picked up and it became a very fast and exciting read. Looking forward to the next one!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Numbers Game (Numbers Game Saga) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Rebecca Rode Page; Review: What a wonderful and unique story. Everyone is rated and looked at based on a number they are given. Of course this causes some problems. Love the characters and dystopian action!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Queen of the Dragons: Book Three of the Dragon-Born Trilogy (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's K.N. Lee Page; Review: The series keeps grabbing my attention. A fun, fairly quick read. I love the magic and the dragons!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Exo Terra Repti-Glo 10.0 Compact Fluorescent Desert Terrarium Lamp; Brand: Exo Terra; Review: I really liked this bulb at first, and my tortoise seemed to like it, but it burned out after only 2 weeks!!! Major waste of money.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Dog Rocks - 100% Natural Grass Burn Prevention - Prevents Lawn Urine Stains - Small Bag; Brand: Dog Rocks; Review: I had been using Grass Savers with only moderate success, so decided to give the Dog Rocks a try instead. I'm sorry to say that this product isn't working at all. I have tons of new brown stains on my lawn, to the point where I'm going to have to reseed those areas. I also used a pet safe grass paint to help hide all the new ugly brown spots. I'll probably go back to the Grass Savers.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Exo Terra Daytime Heat Lamp; Brand: Exo Terra; Review: My tortoise liked this lamp, but it literally exploded after only a month of use. Luckily my tortoise was under his log at the time, otherwise he would have been showered with glass.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Nature Zone Bites for Tortoises, Soft Moist Food, 24-Ounce; Brand: Nature Zone; Review: My tortoise won't touch this. I even tried giving a few pieces to my dogs (I have 4 of them) and none of them would eat it either.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Brentwood 4-Inch Gel Memory Foam Orthopedic Dog Bed, 100-Percent Waterproof; Brand: Brentwood Home Pets; Review: This bed is big enough for my Irish Wolfhounds (one at a time of course) to lay on. It's nice and thick, and is comfy. I had to lay on it myself to test it out. Good bed to help prevent your dog from getting hygromas if you have a giant breed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pet Magasin Luxury Reusable Dog Diapers (3-Pack) – Durable & Washable Sanitary Wraps Panties for Female Pets with Strong; Brand: Pet Magasin; Review: These are a bit big for a small dog. I was going to get the xsmall but the description said that was for small puppies, so I got the small size instead thinking it would be okay. (I have a Yorkie) They completely swallow her, and she can't even walk comfortably despite the fact I have them as tight as they will go.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: The Duchamp Healdsburg; City: Healdsburg Sonoma County California; Review: As someone who has traveled a lot on business and pleasure, it is rare to run into a hotel that truly welcomes you and makes you feel at home. We have never stayed in a more, relaxing, comfortable place Here, the simplicity of the hotel (its modern design, in particular), the surroundings and the service, only contribute to the sense of serenity you achiever shortly after arriving. Since each "room" is a standalone bungalow, you are assured of a quiet, noise free evening. Because there are only six bungalows, you never feel crowded or uncomfortable. The open air garden and pool are perfect, with towels already laid out each day at each lounge chair. The simple, included breakfast offering, which you can eat in the lobby or bring a tray back to your room, includes fresh pastries, fruit, yogurt, juices, coffee, tea and newspapers. The ambiance encourages you to relax, s we spent several hours by the pool and in it on each of our three afternoons. The hotel is only one block off the main square, right behind the $750 per night Le Mars hotel (give me a break), so it is easy to walk all around the main area of Healdsburg. Definitely going back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: JUST Inn; City: Paso Robles San Luis Obispo County California; Review: What a place! After a long day's drive from Healdsburg - big mistake to do that much driving in one day, we finally got into Paso Robles, only to discover that the Inn is another 15 winding miles away. A beautiful drive out to the Inn, despite our weariness. Perfect for a convertible. I don't know about the reviews from 4 years ago, but our experience with both the hotel and Deborah's Room, the restaurant, were phenomenal. When we arrived, we checked into the Tuscany room, which is upstairs and has the best view of the vineyards. There was a chilled bottle of Justin chardonnay waiting for us. During dinner, the waiter was very helpful, and repeatedly offered to pour tastes of other wines to compare with what we had ordered. There are only 4 tables in the restaurant, so it is quiet and peaceful. The included breakfast the next morning was in an outdoor covered area. The multi-course breakfast was delicious. Everytrhing about Just Inn - the room, food, wine, views - was high quality, making it easy to relax and enjoy your time there; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quirinale Hotel; City: Rome Lazio; Review: This hotel is older, but that only means rooms that are larger and much more comfortable than newer European and Italian hotels. The location is fabulous for touring the ruins and museums. The staff was helpful and efficient, even if they did not try to be our close personal friends, HIV other reviewers seem o expect. Now for the idiots. Those who omplain of " pay tv only" do not know how to operate a remote. There is a TV button to push because the tv starts by default at the pay movie menu (just like U.S. hotels!). Likewise, the wifi internet requires a device-specific code. Then itworks fine. The room service was actually good, when our son wanted a late night snack. This place was a great value and we would gladly come back. Before yourip a place, please use your brain.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Ritz Carlton Cancun; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We checked in the week before Thanksgiving. Based on prior reviews and recommendations, we paid extra to stay on the club level. We did this because you get free wifi for up to three devices for your stay. That alone amounts to $60 per day for three if you need to be connected, which we all did. The club level also includes full breakfast and lunch, drinks throughout the day, heavy hors d'oeuvres for dinner and chocolates and drinks thereafter. SInce any meal on the property is around at least $20 per person, this also saved a bunch. You will not ant all your meals there, except maybe breakfast, because the options are limited, but it still saves you a lot. But that did not stop the surprise charges. Despite having booked and pre-paid for our full trip for three, there was a $75 per day surcharge for our 12 year old to stay with us (with taxes, this was about $100 per day. There was no explanation for why this as not included in the packages. When we wanted to use the tennis courts, I expected a charge for using rackets, but a $30/hour charge for using one of the courts, which were empty virtually the whole time we were there? Really? The facilities themselves are starting to show their age compared to other newer, and cheaper facilities. The hallway carpets need replacing. The rooms and their furniture are also aging. The good news is that the food and service are top notch. They make an affirmative effort to know your name, including our son. They also made great recommendations for other attractions. Like all Ritz places, the service and setting are a bit formal, but always helpful, and never condescending. The pool and beach facilities are also excellent.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Guest House Bed Breakfast; City: Wells Maine; Review: Holiday House is what you wish every B&B would be, but so few are. This B&B is charming and very comfortable, but the icing on the cake are Bill and Michael, who run it. As soon as you arrive, you witness the love and attention they put into making this B&B, and your stay there, a great experience. The grounds surrounding the house are immaculately landscaped with beautiful flower beds and pots. The walk to the office leads you to the breakfast room, which is a glass-enclosed porch, is pretty and inviting and filled with natural light. This is the room where had great breakfast each day we were there. Bill is the primary cook, and served up four different and great hot breakfasts each of the four mornings we were there, ranging from blueberry pancakes with sausage to eggs Benedict. As someone who is not a big breakfast eater, but more of a bagel and coffee guy, there was not only lighter fruit and banana/coffee cake options for me, but Bill ended up buying bagels and peanut butter so that I could have my usual favorite breakfast while my wife enjoyed each of the hot full breakfasts each day. Our room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The first rule of any B&B should be tat the bed and the breakfast are good. Holiday House was outstanding on both counts. The large queen bed was firm and very comfortable, especially for a guy my height, 6'6". There was flat screen TV, a separate day-bed area and fireplace. Since we came to Maine to get out of the heat, we were able to sleep with the windows open (screens in place of course). What a treat. This whole experience was made so special because of Bill and Michael. They obviously love what they do, work very hard to make your stay a great experience and accomplish that goal. They were friendly, engaging and helpful, giving us all kinds of good ideas for things to do. We recommend anyone going to this area, even if you are not a B&B person, stay here and experience what a great B&B should be.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Cape Pillars Boutique Hotel; City: Durbanville Western Cape; Review: Winter in Cape Town started with a major storm. Our Strategy break away was booked at Cape Pillars Guest House in Durbanville and we were all a bit miserable due to the cold, wet weather. Our glum mood, did not last very long, because the friendly staff at Cape Pillars ensured a warm welcome and cozy conference venue. The food was delicious and servise friendly at all times. We will be back to spend our follow up break away at this venue... but this time we'll do it in summer so that we can spend some time next to the large pool.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Granny Mouse Country House; City: Howick KwaZulu Natal; Review: We booked a holiday in KZN to escape the wet Cape Town winter weather. Majority of our trip was planned around activities in and around the Midlands Meander. Granny Mouse's is situated in the heart of the Midlands Meander and perfectly situated a day trip to the various routes, restaurants, activities and sights. Our stay at Granny Mouse's Country House was so much more than we expected. The staff are extremely friendly and always willing to assist wherever they can to make your stay enjoyable. Breakfast on the deck overlooking the hills & river is certainly the perfect way to start your mornings. Whether you enjoy fine dining or have a more "casual" pallette, you'll certainly be spoilt for choice in the two dining areas. Food was superb, well presented and affordable. Well done to management at Granny Mouse's for running one of the best establishments in the Midlands. We'll definately be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lilies Leopards B B; City: Dana Bay Mossel Bay Western Cape; Review: This B&B is perfectly situated in the quiet town of Dana Bay, only 15 minutes drive from Mossel Bay. I would highly recommend staying in the self catering room, with it's spectacular view over Dana Bay. The room has all the basic amenities you'll require to whip up a basic meal that you can eat while sitting at the table on the balcony, overlooking the ocean. There is a footpath / hiking trail near the house that leads down to the beach, but I'd suggest taking a short drive down to one of the two immaculate beaches. Service at Lilies & Leopards was wonderful with friendly hosts, clean rooms and all we required.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Colosseum Luxury Hotel; City: Century City Western Cape; Review: Received a midweek stay at Colosseum Hotel as birthday gift. Would usually not stay here, since it's only 20min away from our home. But I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to stay at this lovely hotel. Friendly staff were clearly informed that this was a birthday gift, since I received EXTRA special treatment throughout the day on my birthday. Starting with sparkling wine & breakfast in bed served by a singing room service. :) The concierge also made our stay extra special with a personality as bright and friendly as the summer sun.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: City Lodge Hotel Waterfall City; City: Waterfall KwaZulu Natal; Review: In June City Lodge Waterfall City was like my second home. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. Staff were extremely friendly and always helpful. This hotel is conveniently located opposite Mall of Africa with numerous restaurants to try out. Hotel restaurant has a good variety of meals to choose from on the menu. I was there in the heart of winter and would love to go back in summer to enjoy the pool area. Will definitely book here again when traveling to Midrand. Thanks to management and staff for making me feel extra welcome, especially towards the end of my stay when I started feeling homesick. Your attention to detail and friendly conversations made me feel at home.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Feathers Lodge Boutique Hotel; City: Durbanville Western Cape; Review: Attended a workshop hosted at Feathers last week. What a wonderful venue! Facilities were of high standard.

Title: Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort Casino Aquagames; City: Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Domi; Review: We had a great trip. Food good selections, hotel very clean, staff very pleasant and helpful, pool beautiful with great swim up bar and activity crew very good. They had great nightly entertainment shows. They have a BBQ on the beach and lunch right by the pool. The swim up bar staff that we had Sergio and Bernardo were so nice and pleasant always had smiles on their faces. We only went to the Steakhouse for our a la carte dinner and it was OK. I guess we just preferred the buffet so the children had more selections to choose from. My kids loved an activity crew member named Iguana he was so sweet to the kids. Now there are a couple of not so nice things about the hotel, the beds are very hard I ended up asking them to make up our day bed because it at least had a soft cushion on it. There are a number of areas on the tiling of the pool that should be fixed and for 2 days (not we aren't too sure why) the floor of our bathroom was wet and the ceiling right above was leaking. I was only a very slow drip and was only there for 2 out of our 7 days. No we didn't call anyone about it because as I said it was just a little drip and really no big deal that we were concerned about. But really other than that the conditions were acceptable--no it isn't a 5 star but certainly a 4 as it is listed. My kids had a blast and I totally wish I was back down there right now. If you are down on the beach there is a few people that do around offering to get you drinks from the bar so if you don't want to get up to get it yourself- flip a guy a couple of bucks and he"ll do it all week for you!! No you don't get pushy staff feeling as though you have to tip them. The guy that helped us with our bags when we were leaving left and walked away after getting our bags to the lobby quicker than I could have even reached into my purse to grab a couple of bucks. He said have good trip home and he was off, so don't believe what some others are saying about the staff making you feel you need to tip them. Not once did I feel this way during our whole trip. However, at the end of our trip we did tip our favorite guys at the swim up and our maid.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton La Romana an All Inclusive Adult Resort; City: Bayahibe La Altagracia Province Dominic; Review: Just arrived home last night and we are eager to go back already. Some of the highlights are check in/out was easy, food selection was fabulous, you need to arrive between 6:00pm and 6:40pm at the a la carte restaurants to avoid waiting for a table (but it is really nice not to have to make a reservation) Our favorite was Oceana and the Italian. Never got to the French as no children are allowed in that one, but I heard many people enjoyed that one too. Beach was lovely and well maintained. 2 very large pools and 1 average size if your in the preferred club. Yes, quite hard after 9:00am to find a lounge chair at the pools or on the beach. whole resort is clean, clean, clean. I want to acknowledge the sweetest bartender ever, his name is Marino Gonsalez you can find him at the beach bar called the Sugar Reef bar. From day one he was very kind to my one son, then when he found out that we were celebrating my other son's 8th birthday and he made him a very special drink in a pineapple all dressed up with umbrella's--how lovely!! He was so attentive to all his guests and is truly an asset to the Dreams La Romana team. Also I have to mention Christina, at the same bar, it is fabulous to watch her make the drinks for her guests and she is always smiling along with Manuel. The activity's crew Eddie Murphy, Mr. Picaso and we can't forget Omega. Wow, the energy these guys have is commendable in that heat. They go around to try to get the guests motivated to participate in the activities and they do a great job. You can truly see they enjoy what they do. The food selection at the World Cafe buffet is great, some of the selections are a little on the cold side, but there are so many items to choose from you can always find something you'll enjoy. I read some of the other reviews regarding noise and yes if you are in building 4 it will be noisy since some of the nightly entertainment is held at the main poolside. However, we were in building 2 and it was great. Nice and quiet yet close to everything, you do have the occasional disrespectful guest(s) who are loud walking down the walkways, but that's the guest being ignorant to other people, not the hotel's problem. We had our extended family with us and we occupied rooms 2145, 2147 (April 8-15th) and 2149, 2151 (April 7-17). All were clean and nice inside. I can only say that 2149 needed a desperate bath tub repair, but when you see what the housekeepers do with the towel decorations and the overall cleanliness of the rooms I'm sure you'll be as pleased as we were. An commendation goes out to the housekeepers, they do a fabulous job making our stay comfortable. The housekeepers made a lovely decoration for our son's birthday too, he was so pleased and; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Howard Johnson by Wyndham Clifton NJ; City: Clifton New Jersey; Review: We arrived late into the evening July 14 the lobby was smelly, but the room was clean and acceptable for my family of 5 to stay comfortably. The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable, but the wifi signal is weak. We decided it was nice enough to spend another night there. That was a total mistake. The second night I awoke to a smell coming from our bathroom. We always sleep with the bathroom light on and the door a little bit open to assist with late night washroom trips for the kids. Anyway, when I went into the washroom there was an awful smell of smoke filling into our washroom. I closed the door immediately, stuffed our bedding blanket around the bottom of the door and called down to the front desk. It was about 2:30am and the desk staff told me to turn on the washroom fan, I said it is not working. He came up to help me and smell for himself how bad it was. He opened the door and immediately could smell and taste the thick smoke in the room. He responded shocked and closed the door immediately and acknowledged that it was real bad. By the way, the rooms are non smoking rooms! Anyway the staff member offered to move us to another room, but since I had stuffed the bedding along the floor to close off the gap between the door and the floor, I cranked the air conditioner fan and opened the sliding door, it was ok in the room. We just couldn't use the washroom!! Never mind the fact that I would have to move 3 kids, luggage and make up another sofa bed for us to sleep on at 2:30 in the morning!! I never really slept that night as I was concerned someone would enter our room through the sliding door and there was no screen on the sliding door either. The next morning we had opened the front door, the sliding door wide open and opened that washroom door to air it out so that we could use it. This was a terrible experience that should not occur in a non smoking area/room. The night staff told me to speak to the manager first thing in the morning. I went to speak to him only to be told he isn't in till later and no one even apologized for the incident that we had to endure during our stay. Not one person said I am sorry for your inconvenience!! I was told the manager would call the following day, but he never called and that has been 2 days now. I phoned the hotel and asked to speak to him, but again was told he wasn't in. Does anyone else see the pattern?? I phoned head office to complain about our experience as this is totally unacceptable. First of all the fan not working in the washroom, smoke smell in a area/room that is non smoking. Perhaps something wrong with their venting system?? Also it; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Ramada by Wyndham Clarks Summit Near Scranton; City: Clarks Summit Pennsylvania; Review: After driving for many hours we needed a place to sleep. We had reserved our room on Hotels.com and requested a cot. The total cost we were told on Hotels.com was different from the cost when we were checking in. The desk staff said it was a misunderstanding since we booked through a third party and should we have called the hotel directly we would have been informed that the cot would be extra. I explained that 2 double beds are not for 5 people yet their website said that this room is available for maximum 5 people (which would it would be if there was 2 double and a sofa bed or cot included). It also lists the items available in the room including a microwave and fridge I said those are included the room and I am not paying extra for them yet a cot that is listed in the same list of items that are available in the room is extra, but is not listed on Hotels.com nor on their website that you need to pay extra as it is listed on other hotels as an extra fee. The manager on the evening we arrived Monday July 13 at about 9:30pm was terribly rude standing there holding his dinner saying that we could try and find another hotel, but at this hour it might be difficult as well since we booked and paid through Hotels.com we'd have to go after Hotels.com for a refund as the hotel doesn't have the money we paid yet. He didn't need to be so rude there was no compassion or pleasant manner from him at all. I would totally NOT recommend this hotel. The continental breakfast was acceptable and well stocked and the room was clean, but other than that I really can't say anything nice about this place regarding the service we received. I would never stop here again and would highly recommend anyone traveling with a family to go elsewhere. If your a young couple traveling it works well on a budget if your not concerned with good customer service and having a pleasant stay, otherwise not worth the stop. End result a family of 5 slept between 2 double beds because I felt as though we were getting ripped off because we were desperate to get some rest. I already agreed upon an amount on Hotels.com yet being told at check in I have to pay more. The lady at check in was not friendly and didn't even crack a smile to greet us, the lady upon check out however, was pleasant and did apologize for our experience and she smiled. Too little to late for apologies that needed to be done when we were desperate for a rest and that's exactly why the "manager" was the way he was cause he knew at that hour we were stuck it was stay there and suck it up or pay for it anyway and try to find a place elsewhere and pay again for a nights stay.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Homewood Suites Ft Lauderdale Airport Cruise Port; City: Dania Beach Broward County Florida; Review: Just returned from 2 nights at Homewood Suites and can't say one thing that was bad. Fabulous staff, very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was plentiful and nice variety. Rooms were a good size for my family of 5 and was nice and clean. Close to airport and with the free shuttle made travel to and from the airport a breeze. Nice size pool and mini golf beside pool was fabulous for some added activity. I would for sure stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Iberostar Costa Dorada; City: Puerto Plata Puerto Plata Province Dominican Republic; Review: The resort grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The buffet had many different food options to choose from. Luis makes fabulous omelettes, thank you Luis. The Japanese a la carte was my personal favourite, but they were all good. There is another smaller buffet near the pool that is an option for late risers who can't make it to the lobby buffet in the morning. The pool is beautiful and large, but does need a little repair in some areas. Jesus always smiling to serve his guests at the swim up bar. Thank you Jesus for all the Banana Mama's. We were in rooms 7020 and 7019 which is building 7 almost half way from the beach to the lobby buffet area, so a perfect location. We faced the pool and had a wonderful view of the many peacocks that roam the resort. Our maids always did a fabulous job cleaning our rooms. Leaving our mini bars stocked and beautiful towel designs. Our kids always looking forward to go back to the room to see what animal or design they are going to find. Wonderful job ladies, thank you so much for all that you do! The animation team, gosh where to start. They are fantastic!! A few honourable mentions would be to Pepsi Cola, wow he was so wonderful. Always smiling, always trying to get guests to participate without being pushy, just friendly and funny. I hope he is reading this too and knows that my kids miss him already and want to go back next year, if we can, just so that they can see him. He taught me how to shoot the air rifle and me and my son, Grant won first place in one of the tournaments. He is an asset to the Iberostar Costa Dorada, for sure. As well, another amazing animation team member who also helped make our trip an enjoyable one is, Wifi. Wow he is hilarious. Loved it when he played the shark! And boy oh boy can these boys dance!! They taught my daughter, Nicole and I how to dance a couple of different dances. Nicole was thrilled when she got to dance with Pepsi!! Another great part of the animation team is Roadrunner, so sweet and funny. The animation team is truly what brings fun to this resort so they all did a great job. Barbie always smiling, so nice. Good luck with your new baby that is on the way. I feel like this place became our second home away from home. To sum it all up, great place, great selection of food, wonderful friendly and helpful staff and a place I would definitely recommend. There is only con is the unfortunate amount of seaweed, murky water not crystal clear and the reefs that are in the ocean limiting the water sports. I realize they can't stop the seaweed, but they could have the truck drag a rake off the backside to clear it all away a lot faster than having guys going up and down with rakes in hand.

Title: Totally Tangled: Zentangle and Beyond; Author: Visit Amazon's Sandy Steen Bartholomew Page; Review: Totally Tangled by Sandy Steen Bartholomew is a fantastic book for anyone wanting to get into more tangles for their zentangle work. Sandy has wonderful new tangles and also has a great way of showing how to do them. In this book are also other people that have contributed their own tangles and many fantastic examples. I use this book every day as I zentangle to find just the right tangle to use in my design. I have learned so many new tangles and I love them. Everyone who contributed to this book has given me new ideas, new tangles to learn. I love the way Sandy does her books and I have two of them. She explains her tangles in 6 steps or less and her examples are awesome. What talent she has. I recommend this book to anyone who loves this new art form of doodling. I love having a visual book to look at as I work and not having to look up patterns on the internet as I work. I need that visual right in front of me to flip through pages until I find one that I want to use or learn. I love to do zentangles on ATC's and recently did many that had new patterns from this book and they turned out great. I had been waiting for a book like this to come out and I am so glad Sandy wrote this book. Fantastic book. DR; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Where The Heart Leads (The McPhee Clan) (Volume 8); Author: Visit Amazon's Jillian Hart Page; Review: I have loved every one of Jillian Harts books I have read especially the Christian romances, and mostly the Historical ones. I also love the series she writes and this series has been one of my favorites. This book, like the rest in the series has just touched me in my heart. But this was the best bringing love long gone, back to the one person who needed it and deserved it the most. This story just made me smile and touched my heart and my soul. It is one of my very favorites of this series and I hope every one who is a Jillian Hart can should read this entire series if they haven't yet. I can't wait until the next book is out and hope it is just as awesome as the rest of the fabulous series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Colorado Promise (The Front Range Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Charlene Whitman Page; Review: I loved reading this book and about Greely, Colorado. I live in Colorado Springs, south of Denver. I was first drawn to this book because of it's title and the genre. I love sweet historical western romances and this one filled me with delight. The story was sweet and exactly what I love to read and the characters were perfect. I loved Emma's story and her challenges of having to resist her families high society, unloving way, but still try her hardest to please them even if she wanted to tell them off when she felt unloved and not respected back for who she was and what she wanted for herself as an adult woman. Lucas was the perfect person for her and knew he would let her fly and love her as she was and with every thing in him and protect her from harm. All the different conflicts also made this story hard to put down. Same as the characters. I would recommend it to anyone who loves beautiful romances and encourage those who never reads historical western romances to read it. I can't wait to read the next one. Charlene Whitman is a new author for me and I will be reading more of her stories.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yellowstone Heart Song: Yellowstone Romance Series Book 1 (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: I loved this book so much and it was the first of Peggy's that I have read. I could not put it down and now any book by her I can't put down. The concept at first was weird for me, that of time travel, but she really put this story together with time travel and in Yellowstone a beautiful place to be, she wrote complex and amazing characters who are so opposite but so attracted to each other but coming from two hundred years apart is so full of surprises and heroism and both characters are strong people in either time and I just loved the story with the Indians, the great description of what Yellowstone back in time and what it is now. Beautiful, full of surprises and real men who know how to treat women. I loved this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Montana Dawn (Home in the Heartland); Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Fyffe Page; Review: Carolyn Fyffe was a new to me author with this series and I fell in love immediately with her story telling. I loved Montana Dawn and Luke and Faith and their story is compelling, suspenseful and thoughtful and well layed out. I could not put it down. I love the McCutcheon family and their lives that are so mixed together as a family that stays together. I loved this whole series and it is also combined with Debra Holland''s Sweetwater series of mail order brides. Fantastic reads.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Where the Wind Blows (Leisure Historical Romance); Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Fyffe Page; Review: Caroline Fyffe's first book. I couldn't believe this was her first book. I loved it. I love Jessie and Chase's story. The characters are developed into wonderful yet complex people and there is a love story in the making, but not quite until there are some twists and turns. I couldn't put it down as with all her books. I just kept reading and then read the next one and couldn't put either down. As a new author this book really surprised me, but I had already read some of her other books and this one is just as good and I wanted to know more so the next book filled me in and started me wanting the last one in this series. Awesome Author. You must read this beautiful story and continue reading all of her books as you will not be disappointed at all. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

This whole series is a must read and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. You would not be sorry for reading this book and you will want to get the next one right away and the next and so on.

Title: Wild Montana Sky; Author: Visit Amazon's Debra Holland Page; Review: This is the first book I read from Debra Holland and I was hooked. I love sweet western historical romances and this one it way up there on my list of must reads. I love stories of historical Montana and Debra knows how to write them. I couldn't put this book down and I loved Elizabeth and Nick's story especially since Nick has been in love with Elizabeth for years just by a painting of her that hangs her best friends home in Sweetwater, Montana. She ends up moving from the east to Montana because her brother gets married and now there is a new mistress of Elizabeth and her brothers childhood home. She goes to Montana to visit her best friend and ends up staying there. This is a beautiful story that has twists and turns and in Sweetwater there is so much fun going on. Debra Holland writes to excite and make you want to not put her books down. I had to read the next book and the next book in this series. Then after this she teams up with Caroline Fyffe to add more with Caroline writing about other families in another small town in Montana and brides from the east start being sent to both towns and the stories overlap and together they do this beautifully and you now want to read all the series the Debra started and Caroline interjected her stories alone with Debra's and now you have two series but going together that you can't put down. I keep waiting for new ones to come out from both authors in this duel series. I can't wait for the next one from each. MUST READS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Get them all and you won't be disappointed. I am now an big fan of both of these authors. Thank you Debra for your Montana series and adding Caroline on to bring two series into one in a way that delights and brings joy to readers of this genre.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

She sends them west, to Iowa, or Texas or other western towns. This one Maude wants out of Beckham to avoid marry someone she detests. She is sent to Iowa and falls in love.

Title: Sweet Annie (Harlequin Historical, 548); Author: Visit Amazon's Cheryl St. John Page; Review: I love all of the books I have read by Cheryl St. John, and this story is no exception. I don't rehash the stories I review because too many do it all ready, and the author gives a brief synopsis of each book. That being said, this is a story of unconditional love and total acceptance of the heroine by a wonderful man, unlike some family members. It has sweet romance, innocence, beauty all it's own and twists and turns at many points. You will be engrossed in the story to the point of being not able to put it down. You will dislike characters, love others, and yes you will cry because of the joy and heartbreak this story has. You will also laugh, smile a lot, and rejoice for both the hero and heroine. You will also feel the pain caused by non other than family members. Like Cheryl's other stories you will get a true sense of her passion as a writer. I highly recommend this book for those who love historical western romances.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Not the Marrying Kind; Author: Visit Amazon's Christina Cole Page; Review: First I got my copy from the author in a contest. It was my first book from Christina Cole and I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a good solid story with solid characters. I loved the endurance and sweat that Kat puts into the ranch to keep it going. She is a very tough young lady but doesn't know how to be a lady only a cowgirl trying to run a large ranch when her father becomes ill. Joshua Barron is a handsome man new to Colorado Territory and is riding through Kat's family's ranch when she first meets him. She is in pants and looks more like a boy except her falling red hair. They are thrown together by her father in a rather ill fated scheme for Josh to get the ranch by buying it but her father has to let her try to prove herself as capable as any man at running the ranch during a crucial time to deliver many heads of cattle to the army to get to the Indian reservation. Many hypocritical characters in this story like the reverend, her father and mother even makes Kat's life miserable. I liked the premise of the story but wasn't prepared for the sensual nature this book takes. More about the talk of the Joshua and his cousin that kinds of bothered me. Other than that this was a good read if you don't mind the sensual nature of the story. I didn't expect that and I see there is nothing to warn a buyer on Amazon to that possibility. Now I got a copy directly from the author as I said and I didn't ask. I would still recommend this book as a good historical western romance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crumpets and Cowpies: Sweet Historical Western Romance (Baker City Brides) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: Shanna Hatfield is a new to me author and I am happy I finally read one of her books. She is a delight. This story is an amazingly funny and witty story but has ups and downs, twists and turns and romance that will keep you reading. I could not put down this story as at every turn I had to know what was going to happen. What an odd couple to be thrown together and attempt to get along for the sake of their niece and nephew and from two different continents. What a wonderful and sweet, clean romance with just enough hints at what might happen without those sensual details but you get the tension that is all electricity and wonderfulness and yet as complete opposites who both love to antagonize each other just for the heck of it. The result is hysterical, witty, and leaving you also wanting to cry. This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it to any and all who love historical romances and are western and sometime include another continent. Just wonderful and I will continue to read this author. Can't wait for the next book in this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thimbles and Thistles: A Sweet Historical Western Romance (Baker City Brides) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: Shanna Hatfield has my attention a second time in this fabulous story of Maggie and Ian who just keeps trying to win Maggie's heart. This is a great romance story of the times when a women lost her first husband and vows not to marry again. Ian suffered for two years waiting for Maggie to even recognize him. This is a smart, funny, witty, twists and turns, yes and no's and so many elements to this story that she keeps going and made me read without putting it down unless I just was so tired that I fell asleep. She creates characters that are real and proper yet witty, sarcastic, funny and you just end up loving every single one of the characters in the story. She also puts in a lot of the first book where Jemma and Thane are friends with Maggie and Ian and Tully the sheriff and they mix it up in ways that can make you just laugh out loud and smile widely as it is so amazing amusing you can't help it. I highly recommend this story and if you didn't read Crumpets and Cowpies, read that first then come to this one and you will love them both. Shanna is an awesome author of historical western romance and is one not to miss.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Aundy (Pendleton Petticoats); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: Shanna Hatfield has done it again and I loved this book. What a start to this book that hooks you as happiness, turns tragedy. The as a strong Norwegian widow now owner of a cattle ranch has to go thru a lot to show the men she has what it takes to be successful. I love Aundy as she is beautiful, though she doesn't think so, willful, sassy as times, and determined to do what she has to do. She also manages to get under the skin of a neighboring ranch owner and boy sizzle is the word I choose to size up there relationship. She also has plenty of threats as a woman running and owning a ranch so that gets very interesting as well as surprising in who the guilty party is of all the threats. This is a MUST READ and highly recommended story. Shanna is delightful and sassy in her writing and creates the best characters.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Caterina (Pendleton Petticoats); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: This is another great story in this series by Shanna. I don't know how she comes up with characters like she does and situations that result in a quick change for a woman for her own good or safety as in this case. Wow Caterina is a high strung, feisty, and determined Italian woman who wiggles her way into one man's heart who was to never marry. He falls head over heels for her but then remembers why he keeps saying he won't ever marry, never, never, never. Gotta read this one to see what happens and this one is also full of characters from Aundy's story as it is still in the same town in Oregon. Shanna's books are hard to put down and may keep you up all night reading because there are twists and turns that you can't just set the story down until you know what happens. Then more stuff happens so you still can't put it down. Shanna is a fantastic writer and I just absolutely love her characters and stories. Another MUST READ and highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ilsa: A Sweet Western Historical Romance (Pendleton Petticoats) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: Ah, Shanna Hatfield is an extra ordinary author who puts everything into her stories and Ilsa is another great adventure in Shanna's style and in this series. Again a must read for all it has adventure, fiestiness and romance but twists and turns you would not expect at all. Lighthearted in so many ways, full of life characters, funny is many places and just a good read. When a young woman who has been sheltered all her life finally learns after some rough spots how to stand up for herself and tell the ones she loves that she doesn't need their protection or help that she can stand up for herself. It is story that turns her around in life instances that will surprise you. I loved this story as I did the first two in the series, Aundy and Caternia and you fall in love with then as well as the men and others in their lives. What a wonderful story to read and probably read again. I highly recommend this book, but also read the first two Aundy and Caternia and you will not put them down. Now I am reading the next in this series, Marny and so far it is just as awesome as the first three. Treat yourselves to a cup of tea, coffee or whatever you drink, get settled in your comfy reading chair and just read. You won't regret it at all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sequins and Spurs (Mills & Boon Historical); Author: ; Review: Cheryl St. John is a natural story teller and once again has weaved together another beautiful story. I so enjoyed this adventure western romance that kept me captive from beginning to end, even the second time through. She has the ability to create multifaceted characters who make you wonder what they are thinking, where they will take you next. This really is a wonderfully written story of fears, past mistakes, forgiveness and redemption with unconditional lasting love. There are several aspects of this shown that you can not miss any of it. Passion in many facets are found among several characters that makes it truly interesting to find in all ages. This is a must read and I highly recommend this book. You will not regret purchasing this book, like Cheryl's other stories.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lacy: (A Sweet Western Historical Romance) (Pendleton Petticoats) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: Shanna Hatfield has done it again. Lacy it probably one of the most realistic story in this wonderful and beautiful series of the Pendleton Brides. She is Indian and wants off the reservation to live a more modern and different life than she is used too. She gets a job at the telephone office at the switchboard in a all white town. Add that complexity to a budding friendship and buddy romance of two different sets of people and families and you have a complex, fun, witty, and wonderful story. I loved all the stories in this series but this one I think stands out because of the time in history and the mixing of white and Indian cultures and stubborn families. This is a great, fantastic story with those twists and turns and all the complexity of Shanna's stories. I highly recommend this story as with all the others in the series but I also recommend starting with Aundy and progress in order as you will know the characters right from the start that go into each story in this budding town of Pendleton, OR. You won't be able to put it down and you won't want too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mail-Order Brides of the West: Prudence: A Montana Sky Novel (Montana Sky Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Debra Holland Page; Review: Oh Prudence does not disappoint that is for sure. Debra knows how to write a great story that you can not put down. I was up all night reading Prudence that I just got yesterday. Oh my, what a story for this shrewish brat is all I can say about this woman. More child like with the tantrums and fits she throws and it the last of the brides to leave the agency in St Louis. She has been nothing but a pain in the you know where for Mrs. Seymour and all the brides and staff that were at the agency at one time or another. She never had nice to say to anyone. Mrs. Seymour wants to take a leave from the agency and has told Prudence she had ten days to find a match or find somewhere else to live. When Michael Morgan needs a wife to be the first lady of Morgan's Crossing, Montana he writes to the agency since the nearest town of Sweetwater Springs has seen success with three mail order brides and their new groom there. Michael decides before mailing off his request for a bride he would go to Sweetwater Springs and meet the three mail order brides to access what kind of woman he might get. Well the funny thing is they tell him to ask for Prudence Crawford. It is a bad joke on both Prudence and Michael but of course neither knows that. Well the story goes on and boy what a wild ride you go on to see what is happening and if the match was a good one. Debra weaves a tail that brings laughter, holding you breath practically in something either Michael or Prudence says and it just escalates. This is a most enjoyable and hopeful, thoughtful and story of redemption and friendship after horrible ups and downs. My what a ride and it did disappoint. Prudence has been a much anticipated story in the Mail Order Brides of West series and has already topped amazon's list in sales for preorders. It is MUST READ and highly Recommended story. If you love historical western mail order bride stories you must read this book but start at the beginning because there are two highly wonderful series that cross each other and both written by two authors who both are fabulous authors. Debra Holland and Caroline Fyffe each participate in the Montana Sky series and Mail Order Brides of the West series are all related and both amazing series that I love. You will love the characters by both writers in both series and the overlap of the series and the stories is incredible. If you haven't read any of this series start with Beneath Montana Sky the Mail Order of the West-Trudy. Debra has a listing of all the books in the order you should read them to get the full stories and related stories on Goodreads where both authors stories in both series are listed in order of preferred reading.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Emmy: A Mail Order Bride Romance (Gold Rush Brides) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Cassie Hayes Page; Review: Cassie Hayes knows how to create complex characters and develops amazing situations for her characters to get into. Emmy is no exception and was such a wonderful story with Emmy doing the most surprising things that no one would expect. She is feisty and is so because she was spoiled, rich and lost everything when her dad died and she had to escape New York and signed up for a mail order bride service and ended up in Nevada City, CA. She is on a stage just one mile out of town that gets robbed and she starts bossing the bad guy around because they were going through her luggage and one manhandled her wedding dress, her mom's wedding dress that she carefully packed for her wedding in Nevada City. One of the robbers, the head of the gang tells his man to leave her stuff alone. She and the rest of the people from the stage ended up walking that mile into town with her trunk which they weren't happy about, then gets the hackles up on the sheriff for her telling him what to do and that she was going with them. Well let me tell you this is only the beginning and it has twists and turns get wilder as the story progresses. I recommend this book. You will enjoy it but read the first book in the series first. In the Beginning, Gold Rush Brides. You will enjoy both books and I sure hope that Cassie is going to write more for this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Christmas Bargain (A Victorian Holiday Romance); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: This is another fantastic story from Shanna Hatfield. I love her sweet historical western romances and this one is just another among great stories. I love how Luke and Filly find each other out of a strange agreement where Luke takes a farmers daughter to end this farmers loan since he isn't working his land and just drinks and can't pay on the loan. When he first sees her he starts thinking what am I getting into as she looks dowdy and always has her face down and he can't see it.

But they don't know each other loves the other and are forced into the master bedroom when an unexpected visit from his parents makes them change everything in a very short number of hours.

Title: Healing Montana Sky; Author: Visit Amazon's Debra Holland Page; Review: This is another fantastic story by Debra Holland. Every book in the Montana Sky Series that she has written has been absolutely wonderful with romance, problems galore, heartache, and so much more. Healing Montana Sky is one that starts off with you caught into it right away with a tragic ending to a husband in the mountains outside of Sweetwater Springs.

Hardships with weather on a ranch, his belief that it is his fault his wife died, but joy he delivered his daughter, worry to save her, having to marry a stranger who is also going through her own grief, a young son who doesn't like him, too much tension, non trust, and romance brings this story one you will not want to put down. You just have to know where things go with all of this. Debra Holland knows how to write great books with all the romance and tension, grief and everything in between She knows how to write twists and turns into all her stories and this one is definitely is no different. This is a HIGHLY RECOMMENED book and in my opinion a must read. You will not be disappointed.

Title: Yellowstone Origins: Yellowstone Romance Series, Book 6 (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: Wow, Peggy Henderson has just outdone all her Yellowstone Historical Romance stories with Yellowstone Origins. This is one that is epic and full of the rollercoaster feeling in the non stop excitement, adventure and romance. In my humble opinion this is a story that could become a great movie of adventure in historical mid 1700's in the wild, and sometime unforgiving land now known as Yellowstone National Park. As with this whole Yellowstone Historical Romance series Peggy has done research for each of the time frames in these stories and really shows us the history of the Indians, Shoshone Indians, the Sheepeaters that are a non violent Indian group to Blackfoot warriors that will kill anyone and take whatever they want. This rough land that is majestic in beauty in so many aspects from plains of buffalo, to hot springs and gysers to beautiful waterfalls and canyons to high majestic mountains and so much more. This has time travel again which is ingenious on the writers part of how people from the future came to the past, the only white people to live in the area. She writes of Sky People who control the time travel and bring forth those who really belong from the future to this wild time in history. She does massive research on the area in the eras she is writing in and the Sheepeater Indians that really did exist, their habits, their life and, the Blackfoot tribes in the area, the rough terrain, the animals, the true hazards of life in that area and times. Even though the stories are of her imagination especially the time travel aspect and the Sky People who control that time travel, there is so much historical information that adds so much to her stories. This story explains a lot about characters of past stories and the family line of the Osborne family. It explains more of the Sky People and how they could time travel and how that all began. Not to forgo the mention of the beautiful Romance of Cam and Riley that takes twists and turns as does the whole story. I gasped at things that happened, I was in awe as how Cam could keep Riley safe even when she couldn't see him, he is so in tune to the environment and so aware of everything around them. I have to say this was my favorite story in this series as it just had such awesome descriptions of scenery, times when you never knew what the outcome was of a terrible accident or attacks of whether our hero and heroine are alive or dead. The rollercoaster, twists and turns has one on edge most of the time and makes this story so hard to put down because you can't wait to find out what happens next. I was on the edge all the time with emotions from happiness, to scared for the hero or heroine or both, as you are so drawn into the story that you feel like you are watching this whole story unfold and you; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Christmas Vow: A Sweet Victorian Holiday Romance (Hardman Holidays) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: I love this story the best so far of all the Victorian Holiday Romance's by Shanna Hatfield. I loved them all but this one just was somewhat different and beautiful but with a lot of twists and turns. Wow this was incredible and a wonderful story with a lot going one. A love story made for the ages. I highly recommend this story as all the Victorian Holiday Romance series by Shanna. She is a awesome author with a witty humor which shows in all her books. I recommend you start with the first one and then read them all. They introduce all the characters in this latest story so you will know them before you read this one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Willow: Bride of Pennsylvania (American Mail-Order Brides Series Book 2) - Kindle edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Merry Farmer Page; Review: I really loved Willow and Merry Farmer did an excellent job writing about diversity and problems in the Amish community is you aren't one of them. I really thought this was a good, well researched story and with lots of tension, romance, and adventure that brought the friends of Amos and him back together. Willow felt this was her job that God appointed to her in the marriage. I recommend this second book in the American Mail Order Brides series. I enjoyed immensely and I think anyone would. Thank Merry Farmer for a wonderful and heartwarming story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dacey: Bride of North Carolina (American Mail-Order Brides) (Volume 12); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: Wow, Shanna Hatfield does it again at what she does best. I loved this story in the American Mail Order Brides Series. Dacey was as wonderful a story as one can get. I love all of Shanna's stories but this one, well I had tears of joy at the end especially in what her beloved wrote to her just before she was to be married to the man of her dreams. Braxton didn't want to marry and his mother meddled again only this time he was sent a mail order bride from Pendleton, Oregon, who moved to Massachusetts to work in factory sewing to escape the clutches of her step father. but that factory burnt down days after she started and she had to do something so she became a mail order bride and off to North Carolina she went. She didn't know that Braxton lived on a Plantation and was a rather handsome and rich man as was his family. She had never seen such a place before and was overwhelmed with everything but he had told her that he wasn't going to marry her. Her mother insisted she stay at the mansion instead of returning to Oregon where she simply would not go back to. For the first time she finally felt alive and in a family that seemed to really care for her. She was falling in love with Braxton as she worked with his horses, training them, and working beside him at the plantation stables. She falling in love with him because of his kindness, gentleness and many other admirable qualities even though she knew he didn't want to marry her. But she had no other place to go and as long as they wanted her there, she could stay. Well, something horrible happened at the first ball she every attended and the next day she had to leave town. One of the men at the ball said he be glad to have her work for him in another city at his ranch so she left without anyone seeing her. I won't tell you the rest but it had my emotions up and down with all the twists and turns in this beautiful story. As I said I never had tears before in Shanna's stories, but laughed at her sassiness in her stories and loved the excitement she built up and just everything about her stories makes me want to read them again and again. This story of Dacey is no exception and I will be reading it again as well. Well done once again Shanna.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Katie (American Order Bride) (Volume 10); Author: Sylvia Mcdaniel; Review: Sylvia McDaniel is a new to me author and I loved her story of Katie and Daniel in this American Mail Order Bride series. Katie needs a husband, a home, and a new life. She goes to Virginia as a mail order bride and finds a wonderful man and a lovely home but a cantankerous mother in law in need of love, and learning to forgive herself. There is of course romance, twists and turns and horrible things happening as life at the vineyard is trying to move forward. Suspicions about each other and so on. So much going on in the story I couldn't put it down. You won't be able to either. I highly recommend this story and it is a must read. Thank you Sylvia McDaniel for a wonderful story and now giving me another good author to want to read more of your stories.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Emma: Bride of Kentucky (American Mail-Order Brides) (Volume 15); Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: I loved this story about Emma and Sam and Peggy Henderson has written a mail order bride story that she hasn't done before. This is different from her usual stories of Yellowstone in the early 1880's and the Tetons, so I was wondering how she would make such a switch and she did it just as I would have expected her to and it is fabulous. She took a high society Boston socialite who was very down on her luck, pretty much broke and almost out on the streets and led her to a farm in Kentucky where racing horses are raised and trained by an unusual way and puts her twists and turns into this story with good things, bad things, nasty men, good men and makes Emma come out an entirely different person than she expected. She does tie in a name of a character from one of her Blemished Brides series into this book and it so makes sense and I loved that she made that small but significant connection. She did a fantastic job on this story and it just had emotions going all around, up and down and I read it straight though and couldn't put it down. All of her stories are like that. She grabs your interest right away and the story never lets it go. This is another MUST READ, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED book by Peggy Henderson. Don't miss out.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Under a Falling Star (A Prairie Hearts Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Fyffe Page; Review: Caroline Fyffe writes stories that start off running and never stop until the end. She creates characters that are complex with all kinds of goodness, secrets, hearts that want what they want and are either really good or really bad. They are hard to know who is which one of those and you just are pulled along at a rapid speed trying to figure out everything you can about them. When these stories start like a run away train and keep going gaining speed you just cant put them down. This story is not different and it does start off as run away train and keeps on going and yes you cant put it down because around every corner is another twist and turn. Caroline Fyffe can write immensely interesting stories that you just want to read and if they are in as series as this one is I guarantee you want to read as the fourth book of the series. I received a free, advance copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Teton Season of Joy: Teton and Yellowstone Romance Series Christmas Novella (Teton Romance Trilogy) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: I absolutely loved this novella. It had so many characters from both Peggy's Yellowstone series and her Teton series all getting together for Christmas at Lucas Walkers family home. It was fun to read of the actions with two brothers and their wives both pregnant and one ready to give birth any minute and Lucas being so frightened of this happening when Lucas isn't afraid of anything. Tori getting mad at his hovering over her during this time. He is listening to the women in the kitchen talking about loving to trim Christmas trees and there wasn't one for them to trim and he could hear in Tori's voice how much she misses St. Louis and how she loved Christmas trees. So he decides his gift to his wife is going to be the best Christmas tree ever but he has no clue what kind of tree people use for a Christmas tree. He convinces his older friend Chase to go with him and the sneak out in the morning to go up into the mountains to find a tree as Chase does know about trees. Well, the adventure begins and so many twists and turns follow. Will the men make it back as it is a few days now and everyone thought they went quail hunting. A blizzard blows in and well that's all I am telling you. I love Peggy's characters in this story how well they seem to know each other and have connected through the ages. I love how she can just add those twists and turns in and you have no clue what may happen or happen next but you know it is not what you might expect. This is another MUST READ book and you will enjoy it. But if you really want to know these characters read her Yellowstone or Teton series first,; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cheyenne Mail Order Bride Dreams of a Rich Life (The Brides of Cheyenne) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Iris Kelly Page; Review: I was given a copy of this story by the author for an unbiased review. This Iris Kelly's second book but I have not read the first. So she is a new to me author. This is a clean historical western romance that starts in Boston with Virginia Bellamy needing to figure something out as her father has gone through all of her mother's money and her step mother is forcing her to choose a groom from the upper crust of Boston's society of which they are not part of. She has had many offers but there wasn't one young man she cared to marry. In fact she didn't want to marry at all. She also finds out that any inheritance she was to get would now be given to her baby step brother. Everything promised to her that was her mother's before marriage to her father is now going to be lost to her. Wealth and Boston's not so upper crust is what she is used to and she believes that is what she wants, wealth, importance, to be with the upper society. She finally looks through the Grooms Gazette and finds a man in Cheyenne Territory that fits everything she could ever want and she writes to him. After writing over the winter she finally takes the train out to Cheyenne to meet her husband to be. What she finds when she gets there is altogether not want she expects. He tells her his partner has swindled him out of all his money, stocks, etc and he is now a penniless man. He puts up in a boarding house because he can't afford to put her in an elegant hotel. She lives with the other part of society now and becomes friends with many including her husband to be Lewis Carlyle. After being in both parts of society, meeting a man that meets her hearts desire, and after many twists and turns, Virginia is at a crossroads in life. I really loved this story as it has everything a good story needs. Ms. Kelly has complex characters, the romance and friendship, the twists and turns and adventure that makes a good story. I loved all those characters who help her try to figure out what to do and what she discovers is not what she ever thought she wanted her life to be. I highly recommend this story as if you love this genre, this is one that you will also love.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grace: Bride of Montana: American Mail-Order Brides Series #41; Author: Visit Amazon's Debra Holland Page; Review: I loved the story of Grace and Frey. Both with broken hearts from engagements gone bad, and both unsure of this whole mail order bride idea. There are emotional rollercoaster rides for both, but more for Grace and more recently for her. She has yet to let go of her broken heart and the reasons behind it. Getting married barely off the train to Sweetwater Springs from a long trip from Lawrence, MA. and feeling like a woman who can't ever love the man she is about to marry, and trying to hide her painful experience from not only Frey but the pastor who briefly counseled her just before the wedding is not easy nor is it working for her. She does like the appearance and easy going Viking, and he can't believe his luck in getting such a beautiful bride and how well they hit it off right away with his easy going, playfulness that appears right away and her giving it right back to him which is so unlike Grace, makes them both comfortable right off. Grace feels safe with him because of his Viking size of well over six feet five or six or even seven, and his very broad shoulders, and massive hands. He feels very protective of her. Trudy and Seth Flannigan are his friends who comes with him to the train station and are at the wedding. Trudy has made their wedding supper and brought plenty of canning she has done and spend the wedding supper with them at the home Frey has built and Grace is speechless over. There are plenty rollercoaster emotions especially for Grace during this story and adventure for them. I loved that there were and just loved how well they are able to communicate with each other and how Frey is trying to whoo Grace. This is another great story from Debra Holland and the two characters on the cover are really Debra and Michael Foster who are Grace Dickinson a relation to Emily Dickinson, and Frey Foster. So I imagined each person in the roll their as Grace and Frey and that made it fun and even better to read. Debra even puts Gertie, Michael Foster's dog into the story. Gertie even becomes an heroine at one point. You will love this story even if you have never read a Debra Holland story but if you have read her stories of Sweetwater Springs in the Montana Sky stories or her Mail Order Brides of the West stories then you will know the other characters in this story. I highly recommend this story and feel it is a must read. Thank you Debra Holland for another very enjoyable story that once again I stayed up until after 3am to read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Roberta: Bride of Wisconsin (American Mail-Order Brides Series) (Volume 30); Author: Visit Amazon's Kirsten Osbourne Page; Review: This story of Roberta and Jakob is awesome and I loved it. It is funny, about showing others about love and that it is okay to love another woman who is now your wife but not love in the same way you loved your dear wife. She has the ability to accomplish so much in a day that Jakob is so amazed at her and becomes to realize she is very different from his dead wife. The story is amazing and show Roberta as a very strong woman and Jakob is a Lumber Mill Barron but Roberta works from home not for the money as they don't need it but because she is always doing and can't stand to be idle. She also wins over her two step sons and then his nasty sister in law steps in to make a fuss, a really big fuss. Oh boy, all I can say is don't mess with Roberta. Kirsten Osbourne has a way to write wonderful romances with mail order brides and this is an excellent addition to the American Mail Order Brides series of 50 mail order brides, with one ending up in each state. This idea is a brilliant one and makes for a great 50 story series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Texas Lonesome (McCutcheon Family) (Volume 8); Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Fyffe Page; Review: This is a wonderful story that reminded me of a Romeo and Juliet type of story. It has the two families, the McCutcheons and the Calhouns who used to be best friends and ranchers in Rio Wells, TX for a long time until something happened to the head of the Calhoun family Jock and he blamed Winston McCutcheon. For years they have hated the McCutcheon's and cause all sorts of rumors and problems for them. Dustin McCutcheon sees the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in the mercantile in San Antonio. They lock eyes and held their glance and Dustin wants to get her name but he gets stopped by a friend, and she just leaves before he can do that. Later in a court room, both are in the room for different cases, both wanting to defend the person charged. Dustin finds out Sidney Calhoun is the woman he had seen in the mercantile. When the judge orders Dustin to be guardian to Sidneys brother Noah and take him to the Rim Rock Ranch until he earns enough to pay off his debt, Dustin sees only trouble and problems for the family as well as the town. He really doesn't want to do this but he is ordered by the judge who just happens to be friend of his father. This is a love and hate story as Dustin, his brother Chaim, Noah, and Sidney are suddenly throw together to ride back to Rio Wells so Noah can earn his freedom. Needless to say there are many twists and turns in this story and trust issues galore on both sides. Some scary times, fun times that seem unrealistic considering the families, but there is a budding romance between two young people one from each family, that would be strictly forbidden by both families. Stay tuned to see how this come out in the end. It will keep you guessing that is for sure. I received an ARC copy from the author to read and give an honest review. This is a must read and a highly recommended book from Caroline Fyffe but since it is part of a series I recommend you start at the beginning with the first book in the Montana McCutcheon's so you will know the characters involved and mentioned in this story. You won't regret reading this whole series as it is awesome and so fun to read. Caroline Fyffe is one of my most beloved and favorite authors and I have read almost all her books and loved everyone of them and couldn't put any of them down until they I finished reading the whole story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Genevieve: Bride of Nevada (American Mail-Order Brides Series) (Volume 36); Author: Visit Amazon's Cynthia Woolf Page; Review: This is my first book of Cynthia Woolf I have read and I found a new favorite author. I loved this book and her take on a mail order bride with a lot of gumption. Genny is definitely a woman who knows what she wants and when she arrives in Elko, NV, she is not sure she is going to get what she wants in this new marriage. This is a definite MUST READ book in the American Mail Order Bride Series. I will be reading more of Cynthia Woolf's stories as I found a new awesome writer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Want Ad Wedding (Cowboy Creek); Author: Visit Amazon's Cheryl St.John Page; Review: I really loved this story of Leah and Daniel in Cowboy Creek This is a mail order story to get a new booming town more woman and the three main characters Leah, Daniel and Will were best friends back in Pennsylvania in their childhood years before the Civil War. It was a great surprise when Leah shows up on the train with three other mail order brides and she sees Will and Daniel. They were all surprised to find each other in the Kansas boomtown. I love this story of faith, trust, great friendship, honor, and all those wonderful qualities we would all love to have. These three people start back up their friendships years later and yet it was like old times in a sense. Cheryl St John knows how to write great stories that affect us in such a way that you just want everything to turn out right and have love find a new life between friends. I highly recommend this story and there are two more that follow and I believe you will want to read all three. I love all the books I have read from Cheryl St. John. She writes great characters, adventure and romance and is just a fantastic writer. Thanks for another great story Cheryl. I received and ARC for my honest review of this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bertie (Pendleton Petticoats) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: I so love this story of Bertie and Riley. Getting to spend time with Aundy and Garrett and all the crazy animals in this story made me laugh. I love Napolean the highly haughty rooster who likes to attack when someone gets the eggs in the chicken house. Then Mud is an awesome horse that Riley owns and good friend and then there is Steve, the mule who is Riley's also. Steve doesn't usually like women but he loves Bertie. Adventure, past histories of broken people and bringing each other back from their broken past with a friendship that will blossom and take twists and turns and you never know where it is going. Even added some unexpected things we who have read all these stories have wanted to happen. Yeah. As all of Shanna Hatfield's stories this one is just as great, authentic and always sassy and funny. The stories are clean and just darn good fun. I highly recommend this story and all of Shanna's stories in the Pendleton series. Get to know all the fun and wonderful people in this western town in the early 1900's. You will love them all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Special Delivery Baby (Cowboy Creek); Author: Visit Amazon's Sherri Shackelford Page; Review: I absolutely loved this story, the second of three in a series by three different authors. When four thousand head of long horn cattle come through town to the cattle yards in Cowboy Creek, no one, especial Will Canfield, ever thought he would end up with an abandoned baby at his doorstep and a woman drover, Texas Tom, saving his and the baby's life while he tries to chase after the woman he saw in the hotel he lives in, down the crowded boardwalk as she runs across the street right in the mix of long horn's. He was stunned at first that he and the baby were okay, but more so as he stares into the brilliant green eyes of a stunning red haired woman sitting upon a her horse. He thought she was a man at first when she wheeled around to head of the long horn that was heading straight for Will and the baby to get the long horn under control and back into the fray of the herd. Will had never seen a more beautiful and stunning woman in pants before herding cattle with the best of them. I believe this is the first book I have ever read from Sherri Shackelford and I loved it and her writing a witty story that makes you laugh, gasp a breath, and cry. It makes you root for the underdog in a couple of cases and root for a hopeful blooming romance, that neither Will or Texas Tom or Tomasina, her real name, realize is even happening as they spar, laugh and just realize just what different lives they live. But can they really enter each others lives and love each other for who they really are. Is it all or nothing, in matters of the heart? You will love this story, as I did. It is a great second story of the three men that founded Cowboy Creek. I Highly Recommend you getting this book and I don't think this adventurous story will not get set into your heart. Thank you Sherri Shackelford for your wonderful fun story and I will be reading more of your stories. I received this ARC for my unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Corsets and Cuffs: (Sweet Historical Western Romance) (Baker City Brides) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: Oh my, Shanna Hatfield has really written a fantastic story in Tully's and Brianna's story. Of course all her books have been fantastic and I have loved every one of them. Baker City Brides is one of the best series I have read. The first two were fantastic, but this one may be my favorite of the three so far. Imagine a well loved sheriff who is kind and gentle and loved by most and then a well refined eastern woman who has to escape to Baker City who is feisty, intelligent and who can rile the sheriff like no one else and you have a story of awesome characters, both with complex characteristics who are like water and fire, there is no way they can mix. They both can deal out the best and the sheriff who loves to tease his friends and pull pranks, our refined lady gets so riled and he can get so angry with her that his deputies just stare at him like he is someone totally different. So how can these two who are so different ever see what is truly about the other and end up in love???? That is question and why you need to read this book. It will have you laughing, putting your hand to your mouth with an "O" hidden, you see unbelievable behavior in the fine sheriff who his friends think he has lost this mine, the whit, the fun, the mysterious reasons Brianna came to Baker City, theft of her bag which holds many of the secrets why she is there and more, Tully with the things he says to Brianna and why she slaps him as he is riling her so badly and his uncouth behavior. There is just so much going on that you can't to finish it so you just can't put it down. This is a highly recommended book and if you want the back stories and more fun adventure start with Crumpets and Cowpies. That title alone made me buy that book, the first of Shanna Hatfield's stories I had read and loved it so much I just couldn't stop laughing or put it down.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beauty: an Everland Ever After Tale; Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Lee Page; Review: This is a wonderful story, not a retelling of a fairytale but a new version of Beauty and the Beast, and I have to say, Caroline Lee does an awesome story telling in her version and I loved it very much and I have to say I smiled, I laughed and I was close to crying. I will be reading this again as it is so beautiful. Arabella is a widow and single mother in the mid 1800s in Wyoming Territory. She owns the only book story/library in Everland. She and her son, Eddie used to live upstairs above the store but when her husband died she only had limited funds and since the store isn't doing that well, she is going to rent out her apartment and she and her son have to move to the storage room of the store. Vincenzo is a new person in town who moves into a brand new elegantly built home with his manservant, Gordon or Gordy as he calls him. He is horrible disfigured and blind and is a recluse. He is a very famous violinist and is now retired and doesnt want to meet the people of Everland, or go out of his home. He just wants to be left alone and his manservant who is his only friend and company. Can a relationship or friendship happen between a beautiful woman and a horribly disfigured man who plays music that can make people cry? There are many twists and turns in this classic fairy tale that Caroline Lee has been able to make this story so inviting to read and you want to read. This is a story of old times being remembered for how each character used to be and how they have become, through circumstances. Hearts for desire of many things including love, but not feeling worthy of it, and a story of redemption. I highly recommended this book to read. It is the third book in this Everland series, and I think the best so far, so if you want the background story of the town and its people start with Ella. I believe you will love them all. I received this ARC in return for my honest and unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bride by Arrangement (Cowboy Creek); Author: Visit Amazon's Karen Kirst Page; Review: This is the first book I have read by Karen Kirst and I loved it. I have found another new favorite author. This is a story with characters that are complex, have secrets, and are not wanting to share their problems or secrets. Noah Burgess and Grace Longstreet meet in a very unconvential way. He is sheriff of Cowboy Creek and he is coming back from looking for a notorious gang of outlaws that have have robbing towns everywhere including Cowboy Creek. He walks into his cabin on his ranch to find a woman standing in his kitchen. He is aiming his gun he pulled from his holster at her. She told him not to shoot and held out a letter from Will Canfield an friend of his saying she is his mail order bride. As you can see it starts out grabbing your interest right away and you won't be able to put it down. This has complexities of many things and adventure, secrets, and two twin girls that come with their mom. This is a story of non commitment by Noah, need to be safe for Grace alias Constance Miller who she is going by to hide her and her girls. Adventure, struggling relationship, trying to find Constance a husband, stuggling love tweeking his heart and hers and the twins. Needless to say, this is a must read story and I think you will love it. But if you want the back story of the Cowboy Creek start with the first book Want Ad Wedding by Cheryl St. John, then Special Delivery Baby by Sherri Shackelford and then this one for a wonderful series. I loved all these books and I received this as an ARC book for my honest unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Millie (Pendleton Petticoats) (Volume 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: Wow Shanna Hatfield has outdone herself in Millie. My emotions really ran from one extreme to the other with this awesome and most wonderful story. I smiled, I outright laughed, I sighed, I almost bit my nails, I cried and then I thought YES it finally happened. Millie is a very strong independent woman who meets up with Gideon a saloon owner who is so handsome and has a big smile with the cutest dimples that she can't decide if she should hate him or maybe find out more. Gideon is equally strong and independent with so many talents for a man that Mille is taken in by him. Millie has so many facets that Gideon also decides he want to find out more about her. They fight each other in their causes and reasons why they do what they do. He keeps a clean, high class saloon where only drinks are served, no call girls and rents out the rooms above the saloon for men who need a room. She wants to shut down all the saloons because too many women in Pendleton have been attacked and she knows first hand what happens with men and alcohol. But, she has seen things in Gideon that she wants to see just what kind of man he is. All I can say is this is one of the best stories in the Pendleton Petticoat series that you will be pulled in from the beginning and have all those emotions I mentioned through out the story and you can't or won't want to put it down. I love all of Shanna's books and everyone is so unique and wonderful in it's own right as she knows how to build complex characters with many facets. She knows how to start out strong and bring in all kinds of things including keeping the stories alive with all the towns characters that you feel part of this town. She knows how to build everything up, have fun, lots of fun, lots of whit and then things start to happen fast that you won't know what hit you. Unexpected things, people who are villians that you wouldn't expect and yes suspense and of course rescues that you don't always know what to expect in them. This is a highly RECOMMEND book but if you haven't read any of this series you must start with Aundy the first book in this series and read through them all. I highly RECOMMEND this who wonderful series. Thank you Shanna Hatfield for another most wonderful story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mail-Order Bride Ink: Dear Mr. Weaver (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Kit Morgan Page; Review: I have loved all of Kit Morgan's stories and she never disappoints. She is funny and whitty and so funny at times, with very complex characters and lots of adventure. This is a new series but also ending with mail order bride for the last Weaver from Morgan's popular Mail Order Brides series. I love how she ended on series with the last man in one very big family now and starts a new series at the same time. I loved this story as I have all others. Again this is a must read and I highly recommend it. I do how ever recommend you starting with the first Mail Order Bride series to get background of the three towns that mail order brides have gone to. It will also give you the characters of Nowhere, Washington Territory, one of the three towns that get mail order brides. You will love the all the stories but at least read the ones that involve Nowhere then you can get the gist of the town and the people living there.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: That Healing Touch: A Cutter's Creek Novella (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Kit Morgan Page; Review: To me Kit Morgan knows how to write some of the best stories I have ever read. This one is no exception. This is the first book in a new series that is one book written by different authors and Kit starts have with a running start to Cutter's Creek and the first story. Two people hurting, one lost all her family during and after the civil war.

Two people with struggles from the past and now who grew up together. This is a sweet historical western romance with high emotions and mixed feelings, and so much more. It is one that keeps you on edge until the end and you won't want to or be able to put it down. I highly recommend this story and all of Kit Morgan's stories as you will love them. Most of them are funny, very whitty, and so much fun to read. You will enjoy everyone of her stories.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mystic Montana Sky; Author: Visit Amazon's Debra Holland Page; Review: I have to start by saying I have read all of Debra Holland's Montana Sky series and Mail Order Brides of the West series and have loved each and every one of them. With that, I have watched Caleb's character over most if not all these books and as the staunch, upright, stiff, Bostonian banker, but this story shows him in a brand new light and I think the real Caleb. I think this could very well be my most favorite story in the Montana Sky series yet. This is a story of guilt for Caleb over the accident that killed Maggie's husband even though she told him of the abuse. He has to deliver her baby out in the wilderness because there was no way he could make it back to Morgan's Crossing or into Sweetwater Springs. In the time he was with Maggie, she telling him what he needs to get out of her caravan for the birthing and the baby, she seems to cast a spell over him from first meeting. The birthing experience moved his hard heart further to a soft more gentle Caleb. But he is very angry at her dead husband who abused her so much and risked her and the babies life because he was driving the caravan too fast on mountain curves. When she is able to be moved since not only the birth but the bruises and injuries from the accident, they head to Sweetwater Springs. Beautiful little Charlotte is already in Caleb's heart and he is also seeing more in Maggie than he thought. He takes them to him mansion in Sweetwater Springs for Maggie to recuperate and both her and baby Charlotte to watched over and protected. This story is of the guilt, the chance to see a baby born and being the one that brought her into the world, a softened heart that makes Caleb laugh which I don't remember him doing from other stories and love that seeps in, in spite of him trying hard not to fall. A gypsy woman, not his typical sophisticated women he has met and fallen for, and last a chance at love and family. But does that happen as Maggie feels out of his league for sure and isn't sure about women he might have been in love with before. This is a beautiful story as it seems baby Charlotte gets into the hearts of the most harden Edith and changes so many people. My love for this story is a great surprise that I would love him as much as I do now. I didn't really care for the old Caleb but when you read this story you will see why I love the new Caleb. There are so many things going on in this story, the characters are complex and so different and to have so many of my favorite characters from the past stories this is just an amazing story. Thank you Debra Holland for writing this story for Caleb. Thank you for writing this whole series that I have; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yellowstone Legacy: Yellowstone Romance Series, Book 7 (Volume 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: Oh my, where to begin. Peggy Henderson has done it not only again but I really think this story is the best in a series of all great and fantastic stories. Every on has been above awesome as Peggy is a master planer of stories and does the research personally by being in Yellowstone a lot and shows her expertise of the area in amazing descriptions that you feel you now know Yellowstone and it's different places of beautiful scenery. She writes also with as much information of life there hundreds of years before it becomes a park and of the Indian tribes that called that area home. Matt and Michaela's story is one that helps bring all the questions from other books in the series together but I have to say this one is mind blowing in many ways with what is revealed. As Peggy writes about time travel in this series and that creates many questions about not only time travel but how this info affects the area that is now known as Yellowstone National Park as in these stories. She does so much research that the line between her imagination and reality is so masterfully written This is a love story like in each book that expands the time of romance and meeting their intended and perfect match. Love does expand time in many ways and Peggy shows this very well. Their story stuns us as many things are revealed that you had no idea was even coming. Twists and turns, excitement, adventure and tension builds in this story beyond all the other stories in this series and everyone has a lot of the same but Peggy has gone above and beyond in this amazing and beautiful story of love and intensity of all things. These characters are intense from the beginning and very complex as well. Peggy really knows how to draw you in from the very beginning. I loved this story so much that I read most of it in one night as I could not and did not want to put it down. I had not only awe moments but more like oh my gosh moments that just made me have to stop and really think about what was just revealed. I feel like I need to start writing things down so my mind can try to put this together and sort it all out. If you have never read any of Peggy L. Henderson's stories then you have missed a very talented author who's stories are so intense, fun, sad, joyful and like I said have the many twists and turns that you really have to pay attention. You can read this story as a stand alone but I don't recommend it. I Highly recommend you start with the first amazing book Yellowstone Heart Song. The read each in the series in order and I would read one after the other to keep the momentum going. This is book 7 of the Yellowstone Series with full novels, novellas, and short stories mostly holiday ones to; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Whispers on the Wind (A Prairie Hearts Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Fyffe Page; Review: This story is so good that it was hard to put down. As all the other books in The Prairie Hearts series. There are so many twists and turns in each book that you are drawn in from the beginning to the end. This one is no exception. Each character is well developed and each has so many facets to them that you never know how this story is going to turn out. I loved the main characters Tabitha and Hunter. Two different and unique characters brought together under meeting in the mercantile right after Hunter Wade reaches town. From then on all kinds of things happen and you are surprised at each turn in events. An awesome story that leaves you wanting the next book right away. Hopefully there will be a next story as there is still so much in this town of Logan Meadows that needs to be explored in my opinion, and people who either are really characters if you know what I mean. I love all the stories I have read of Caroline Fyffes from the Prairie Hearts series to her awesome and fun McCutcheon Series. Caroline creates those characters that you love to read about and stories that your heart clamors for. Her scenes are described in a way that you feel you are there kind of watching things just from the edges of each scene. Inside the buildings, walking down the street, watching other well known characters go by the window of the book store or mercantile or saloon in Hunters case in this story. You feel like you are part of the town immediately. These to me are the things that make each of her stories great and so fun to read. If you haven't read any other books in this series start with the first one and continue to get to know the characters and the town and how it came to be. Thank you Caroline for writing exquisite stories that make me laugh, sigh, sometimes cry and that make me amazed at the twists and turns each story makes that you aren't really sure what is going to happen next or how it will turn out. I am blessed each time I read one of your amazingly wonderful stories. I was given a copy by the publisher for my unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Husband By Any Other Name; Author: Visit Amazon's Cheryl St.John Page; Review: This is another awesome story by Cheryl St John which I loved. It has a really interesting take on marriage and a set of twins. I love how Ms St John creates her characters and makes them complex. This is such a different twist to a story of marriage and a set of male twins and a woman that they both once love, one who married her truly loved her but her fianc left town without a word to her. She never knew and one day he knew he would have to come clean but was afraid to. I have to say and I so impressed how she kept the names or each twin separate but not using the correct name of the brothers. You just have to read this to figure this part out. I think this is story anyone who loves romance would love to read this and I believe it is a must read. It is one story so different from any other I have ever read that it is so compelling to read and pay attention the names of the brothers in this because I kept waiting for it to get mixed up and she wrote impeccably that it never happened. It is a contemporary love story and it is written beautifully. I received an ARC for a fair and unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Helen Heals a Hotelier: A Historical Western Romance (Brides with Grit) (Volume 10); Author: Visit Amazon's Linda K. Hubalek Page; Review: Linda Hubalek is a new to me author and I have to say this was an excellent story with a solid concept, and complex main characters who both have issues in their lives that are compelling for many people. She needing a husband and a roof over hers and her daughters heads, someone to take care of them. He has issues of allowing his mother to smother him even though he is an adult and he just cant stand up to her. Those issues come to head a few times, but she helps him learn how to really run a hotel that is parents left in his hands while they traveled. She has lots of experience running a much larger hotel when her third husband became ill and she brought more business in and has great ideas that worked then and in this smaller hotel in a frontier town. I really liked both the hero and heroine. I loved the romance that blossomed with them and how he is with four little girls and how he treats his heroine. I love how he just allows her to show him things that could increase the hotels income and how the hotel could help the community. I love how she wouldnt back down to his mother when his parents are back from there trip. She is a fiery woman who has had to become that way as a survivor of any decade needs to do. I really loved this story and I know anyone loving this genre should read this book. It can be a stand alone but I as I found out it is part of a series, the eighth book I believe. So I guess if you love series as I do you should read them all beginning with the first book which I will be doing now that I found a new author I really like and want to read this series from the beginning. I highly recommend this book. I received an ARC for my honest and unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rania Ropes a Rancher: A Historical Western Romance (Brides with Grit) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Linda K. Hubalek Page; Review: This is my second book I have read from this author. Again it is a wonderful read with all the expected elements of a great historical western. Her characters are well thought out and written and the story plot is unexpected in many places. I loved this story of unfortunate pasts that come to something right and true and will suspense as well as romance. Some twists and turns keep you wanting to read this story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yellowstone Redemption: Yellowstone Romance Series Book 2; Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: I loved this story and this is my second time reading it. I am going through the entire series now as new books have added and it has been awhile since I originally read them. I am so glad I am rereading them because now I remember them better. Sarah and Chase's story is very different from the first one in many ways. I love the novelty of Chase a younger man who feels lost in both worlds. He comes into the past by 200 years and feels in limbo in both times he has now lived in. He was a jock, star quarterback in the time he was born into but when he is sent back in time to 1835 to what he knows as Yellowstone he is so confused as to how this happened. Sarah is a young woman born in that era and finds Chase rather strange in his language and other things. After several things that happen they find they are attracted to each other, Sarah more inexperienced in ways of the world with men but she excells at survival in her time and can has more endurance than Chase. Without revealing more, I will just say this story is another fantastic read in this series Peggy L. Henderson is a prolific writer in these historical romances and has done a lot of research of Yellowstone and it's history in the 1800's. She writes fun and complex characters and sets the scene right from the start to pull you right in to a story you do not want to put down. I said I was rereading these fantastic stories and I love them more the second time around. I highly recommend these adventurous, exilerating romances that are true to the time frame with artistic licence of course. I don't think you will retreat reading them and I an sure they just might become classics one day. I would encourage you to start with the first book Yellowstone Heart Song and get to know the characters and scenery that will continue into each book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Yellowstone Christmas: Yellowstone Romance Series Novella; Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: Another fantastic story by Peggy L Henderson in her most wonderful Yellowstone Series in the 1800's. I love this novella with more of Aimee and Daniel Osborne and their children with the anticipation of the coming Christmas. This story has a bit of a mystery when they come back from tracking each other as the children has learned to do even at such a young age just to find their perfect Christmas tree. The preparations for the tree trimming a backing is stopped by the unexpected arrival of a newborn Indian child left at their cabin door. Need to find the mother sends Aimee into a frenzy as well as Daniel because they need to make sure she is okay but also to nurse the newborn. Daniel realizes that this could put his family in danger should someone from the tribe coming looking for the mother or father and the child. This is another story of love, endurance in another harsh winter in Yellowstone country and fear for family. Peggy is a master at her craft of writing wonderful historical western romances but the Yellowstone series is one that you will want to read again and again. I am doing that now and each story seems so different that it was a over a year ago when I first read them With a new book that just came out I and was now the second book to really read is why I had to start reading this series and then decided to keep going. I forgot so much in each story that I am very glad to be rereading them all. I encourage anyone that hasn't read Peggy's Yellowstone series to start with Yellowstone Heart Song and keep right one reading them. You will not be able to put any of these stories down unless you absolutely have to. Each revisits the families and background and the history of the harsh and rough country. Each is an absolute delight and I highly recommend each and every one. You will not regret it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yellowstone Awakening: Yellowstone Romance Series Book 3; Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: Peggy Henderson just keeps getting better and better. I loved this story of Kyle and Kate Ellen or Katelyn to him. This story is a strong love story between these two unexpected people. Kyle has sworn he would never be in a relationship and Kate has her secrets and she is running away. Brought together in the strangest way they lean on each other to get through some really rough beginnings. These characters are both very complex in opposite ways and together they find a comfortable middle. This is a story that I HIGHLY encourage you to read in this series. I love the Yellowstone Series by Peggy and I encourage you not only read this beautiful story of true love, adventure and sadness. If you have never read any of these stories in this series start with Yellowstone Heart Song to get the background story of the Yellowstone area before it is a National Park as we know it. The characters from the start are always important to get to know to get the whole picture. Peggy writes not only about adventure, romance, danger and hopefully good and happy endings. Villians, Indians, heros and heroines and love of family and strong ties between them, and some rather unexpected twists and turns. You won't be disappointed by reading this beautiful story and whole series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Where Wind Meets Wave (A Prairie Hearts Novel) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Fyffe Page; Review: I think this is my favorite story in this series. I love all the stories in the Prairie Heart Novels but this one was has some really interesting twists that I think just out did the others. This is Jakes story to find his father now that he knows who he is and where he is and that he is dying. He also discovers a whole lot more that just brings this story up a notch because Caroline Fyffe has taken this story and just to a whole new level and so many surprises and lots of twists and turns. I just loved all the new characters and the new location of Jakes story when he leaves on a train to look for his father. I loved the whole story so much that I just feel this one is my new favorite. Thank you Caroline for being such a prolific writer with such a creative mind to write such wonderful stories. I have enjoyed each and every one of the stories you have written. I received this ARC for my honest and unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yellowstone Dawn: Yellowstone Romance Series Book 4 (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: There is not one book in this series that I haven't loved. Peggy Henderson's stories have been amazing to read from the beginning. Yellowstone is a gorgeous place to visit but to read about it in factual terms with creative license and all the unforeseen twists and turns in each story, great complex characters, and of course romance has been one of my favorite series to read. Just like all the others in this series, Peggy hooks you right in and you can't stop reading once you start. But unlike the others in some way this one, Yellowstone Dawn has that unique storyline that you just didn't expect. I loved this story of Danica and Josh. One that had to be told but you aren't sure it would be. Josh wanting to be a loner and not attracted to white women, just make's this story more endearing. Of course what Osbourne man isn't full of chivalry, Josh is no exception. They are fierce fighters to protect those they love and is one reason these stories are so good. This is my second time reading through this series since several new books have been added. With each book I had forgotten so much that it is like reading them for the first time and each story reveals much more than I had remembered. This is another must read and I highly recommend you read it. If you haven't read any of these amazingly wonderful stories you must start with Yellowstone Heart Song. Not only because it is so good it is the beginning of the families history and you get so many glimpses of Yellowstone before it ever became a National Park. Peggy Henderson's research for the stories is so complete or so you think until she unveils more scenery and true facts in each new story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yellowstone Deception: Yellowstone Romance Series Book 5 (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: I am rereading all of Peggy L. Henderson's Yellowstone series. I love it more the second time around as what I thought I knew about the stories from over a year ago when I started reading them. I have found so much more in these stories than I remembered and in most cases I didn't remember the stories as they really are. In Deception, I really found differences in what I thought I knew about it. I knew it was good the first time but boy did I find so much I didn't remember. This is a wonderful story, another time travel out of a struggle for life of a descendent of Aimee and Daniel. Dan Osborne and Jana Evans have to fine the time travel device to go back in time to same a child of Daniel and Aimee. They are in a race to find their way to Daniel and Aimee's cabin in Madison before another man from the future gets to them to kill their son. There is adventure, in the past Yellowstone and luckily for Dan he knows a lot about Yellowstone in the future to know where he is going in the past. Of course there are dangers he didn't think of or prepare for when they time traveled. Indians for one, speaking their language, and self defense for him and Jana. Then of course there is romance galore and tension between them and it makes the traveling even harder in this already harsh land. I loved this one better the second time around. I highly recommend this story and all of the stories in this amazing series. The research is amazingly done for the past and current times. Peggy is meticulous in this knowledge that she has down research at the park itself and in history museums all about the area, the Indians that made Yellowstone their home and those that were there during the summer months. All this makes you feel like you are there and if you have been there you can put yourself in some of the areas especially if you have hiked and camped in Yellowstone. I recommend you start with Heart Song.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yellowstone Promise: Yellowstone Romance Series Novella; Author: Visit Amazon's Peggy L Henderson Page; Review: This novella is just as fulfilling to the reader as the full novels. It has a purpose as a shorter story and it pulls at the heart strings like the other books in this series. This story starts to tell a greater planned story than what you would expect and I greatly enjoyed it more the second time around. I am rereading the whole Yellowstone series and I learn more and remember more from each book now and wow I have to say rereading these fantastic stories is making me wanting more as I learn so much in each on the second time around. This has the love, the tug on the heart strings, the adventure and even more time travel which the family of Daniel, Aimee and Chase and Sarah didn't think was possible. It has twists and turn you have come to expect in this series and all of Peggy L Henderson's stories. The endings are not always what you think and always leaves you wanting more. This one brings together much beloved characters from past and future and brings a mom and son even together which was unexpected. I loved this story even better the second time and learned just so much that I hadn't remembered. This is another MUST READ and all Yellowstone series lovers. Even if you haven't started reading this series you MUST read it. But start with Yellowstone Heart Song the first book in the series. I guarantee if you love history, have been to and love Yellowstone National Park, love romance and adventure and even heart pounding suspense start reading these books. Peggy Henderson will quickly become a favorite author. If you already have read the books read them again as you remember so much you have forgotten.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cowboy Creek Christmas: An Anthology; Author: Visit Amazon's Cheryl St.John Page; Review: Misteltoe Reunion by Cheryl St John This story is another fantastic story by Cheryl St John. I loved this new story in Cowboy Creek. It is another renewed meeting of previous engaged people now finding each other again. It has a lot of wonderful things to celebrate and see how humanity can be or was back in their day with Indian tribes now on reservations. How the towns people come together to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. Just joy and happiness and some uncertain things between people and finding love in a heart where it wasn't believed it could happen. I highly recommend this book but first to get aquainted with Cowboy Creek and its residents to help you know the people and the town in this story. Mistletoe Bride by Sherri Shackelford This is another big hit for Sherri Shackelford. This is another story taking place in beloved Cowboy Creek. I love this story from the very beginning as the not so sure of himself Colton Werner finds himself knee deep in a new arrivals life as he is asked to help with Beatrix Haas who just arrived in Cowboy Creek heavily pregnant. She was to marry the now deceased sheriff Quincy Davis and has come all the way from Austria to be his mail order bride. Colton speaks some German and tries to translate for Leah who is the midwife trying to deliver and help keep Beatrix alive. Beatrix pleads in German with Colton to marry her so the baby has a name. She knows she is dying and that is a request that weights heavily on Colton but he knows Leah and her husband Daniel will take the baby so he says he will. Boy this story just grabs you and pulls you in from the very beginning. There is so much going on from the start you don't even think about what could come of all of this. Well I want you to get this Must Read story which is in the Cowboy Creek Christmas along with Mistletoe Reunion by Cheryl St John. Both are must read stories in one book and if you haven't read any of the Cowboy Creek wonderful stories start with the very first one to get the background on the town. Every story in this series is exceptionally wonderful and beautiful awesome, adventurous reads. I recommend this book with Sherri Shackelfords and Cheryl St Johns wonderful Christmas stories. This is an ARC by both authors for my unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mail-Order Bride Ink: Dear Mr. Turner (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Kit Morgan Page; Review: Wow Kit Morgan has the best quirky, fun loving, adventurous, laugh out loud stories that you will always love to read. Dear Mr. Turner just proves that again. Another fun loving story in my favorite town of Clear Creek, OR. There are some of the wackiest and awesome characters in this story as are in all her stories, especially because Clear Creek seems to draw them to town, but for a proper southern belle this turns into the best place she could ever imagine to live in because these people are the most caring, loving, and mostly the friendliest people she has ever met and so opposite of the stuffy turned up nosed non friendly people she has known all her life. But when you do come from a southern plantation in Savannah, GA, that makes you just has bad as those she had thought she belonged with, since that, is all she has ever known. Pleasant Comfort's whole life is turned upside down when she arrives and learns to actually work like her servants did, she finds she is or was one of the worst of those snobby people she now would rather not be with or be one of herself. Eli Turner is just the man she needs and is happy to have run away from the only life she has ever known. Boy this is the Wild West she only heard about with her intended as sheriff deputy, comes back from chasing outlaws after missing her arrival but finds her at the Cooke brother's ranch. The absolute best family to take care of her for awhile and where he can begin courting her. She also finds how the Cooke wives had to learn to cook, clean, do laundry all the chores of a prairie wives coming from similar lifestyles. They put her to work teaching her how to do for her new husband as well as herself and there she finds that the life she will now have to leave is hard but fulfilling. I love all of Kit Morgan's stories because she knows how to write very interesting characters, towns that are so much fun, and places where adventures never make life dull. I have laughed out loud with every story I read and this one is no different. She draws you in from the beginning and you can't stop reading. You just have to keep on reading until the very last word.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Christmas in Trace Hollow; Author: Visit Amazon's CJ Samuels Page; Review: This is the second book by CJ Samuels that I have read and I loved this one just as much as the first. This is a beautiful story of a young woman having to live on her own until she finds a baby on the road from her mountain cabin to Trace Hollow. When another man comes to the cabin she found for shelter, she is stuck there with him for several days because of the snow. He is handsome and good with the baby and she is beautiful and he is thinking about her and her son. This is a wonderfully clean Christians historical in Montana in the 1800's. I have loved this second story in Trace Hollow from the storyline, the characters, the town that feels like home and it is Christmas after all, what could be better? Oh romance maybe, fun, mystery, secrets? I love CJ Samuels writing as she can draw you in right from the beginning until you can't put the book down until your read it all. For me good thing it is a short story. If it was a full length novel I wouldn't have gotten any sleep. This is a must read story for the holidays. I encourage you to read it and maybe read Elli first, the first in this series. You would get the background of the town and it's people. I just loved this story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Barreling Through Christmas (Rodeo Romance) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: This is a most wonderful story that I absolutely adored. Shannas witty and sarcastic writing is in full form in this story making me laugh out loud and then almost cry at times. Emotions can run the gamut in this story between Paige and Cooper. It has such funny scenes as two sisters try to hunt down the perfect cowboys behind for a clothing campaign. That alone is funny as can be but add the sizzling romance and the bantering between them just cracks me up and it just keep on going. I love Shanna Hatfields stories and this one is fantastic. I usually love historical western romance and this is the first contemporary romance of hers that I have read and I loved it. I highly recommend this story and I am going to go back and read the ones prior to this one as this one was so good. I received an ARC for my honest and unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Season of Love (Cutter's Creek) (Volume 11); Author: Visit Amazon's Vivi Holt Page; Review: I loved this story of Margaret, the town's teacher taking in a family of six orphaned children who lost both their parents on the journey west. They ended up in Cutter's Creek with one other couple who was with them in their wagon train. The kids get taken in alone each to a home but not together. They were disappearing to hide out in different places to be together and acting up at each of the homes they were in. A town meeting was called to discuss the Christmas events for the town but also to see if they could find a solution to this problem of this tragic family of only six kids. When no one spoke up to take all of them in, the teacher Margaret Hutchins says she will without really thinking it through. But she was orphaned herself at a young age and even though she had an aunt to live with, she knew well what these kids were going through and wanted them to have a home where they would be together. Heath Moore sees her answer the call and and admires her dedication and determination. He volunteers to help and the reverend asked the town folk to do the same providing this large family with now a young single teacher with a small salary, with food and clothing for the children. They all get used to her and like her and their chance to be together again, but the oldest girl thinks they didn't need anyone to take care of them. Heath is there often to do things around this old farm house given to the school for the teacher to live in. He is there with his big sleigh to also transport them places and to be with this incredible young teacher and the children. He has missed his own family and now has a sense of piece being around them often. The kids enjoy living with Miss Hutchins and come to like Heath except still the oldest sibling. She became leery of all adults when their family was torn up in crossing the country and being left behind when their dad died. Then being set up in six different families who were mostly glad to be rid of them when Miss Hutchins took them in. Can they really become a true family or will someone else come along to split them up again? Does anything happen between the two adults in their lives? Will they ever be truly happy? I recommend you read this Christmas story in the Cutter's Creek series to find out and I guarantee you will love it. I suggest you also read the entire series written by several different authors all set in this one quaint town.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Cheyenne Christmas; Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Lee Page; Review: This is a really sweet and beautiful story that I loved from the very beginning. I have loved every story Caroline Lee has written so far and this story is like all the others where you can't help but call in love with each main character. This is the first book in this series and it simply beautiful. I fell in love right away with Molly who could stand in front of a very large scary looking man to protect a young Indian teen whom she just meet right when she got off the train in Cheyenne. Here she is a young woman born and raised in Chicago who had to take care of her two younger sisters after their parents died. She decides o head out alone to Cheyenne to find work and a place to live before sending for her two young sisters who somehow managed to survive alone in Chicago and one deaf and frail and not very old a youngster really and a sister just slightly older than her. Once Molly finds a job, which was not easy for an unmarried young woman, she ends up being hired by the man she confronted and his brother the young Indian as their housekeeper and cook. Of course this would be highly improper to live and work at this ranch with a very handsome man and his fifteenth year old brother, but no one in the entire town wants to hire her as an unmarried woman. So she had no other choice but to go with two complete strangers to live and work out at a ranch no where near town and no neighbors. Molly finds she rather likes it there and Ash the big man and Nate his sort of adopted half Indian brother, find that Molly is not only an excellent cook and baker, but a wonderful housekeeper and Ash was glad he hired her. He also admired her for her strength, boldness when she confronted him to protect Nate, and for all the determination she shows that she can live out there without being scared of them or caring much about what others might think of the situation. None of them bothered to give her a job even though they were hiring. She tells right off about her two very young sisters joining her and he told her he would protect them all. Only after two weeks she found she was happy there and found herself falling for Ash. Oh course as the story continues many things go on and through her mind and Ash's that sparks start to fly, her sisters have been sent for and she finds herself enjoying every minute of working there, decorating for a Christmas Nate has never had and Ash hasn't had for a long time and she and her sisters hadn't either and she wants to make the Christmas as good as she can for everyone. There is so much more in this heartfelt story that I highly recommend any romance lover to get. Caroline Lee writes characters that are; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Garden of Her Heart (Hearts of the War) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: I am almost speechless with reason Shanna Hatfield wanted to write this amazing story. I have heard about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II as I don't think I ever learned as much about it as I did in this book. My heart goes out to those whos families were interned in these awful camps. This is a story of survival in many ways. This is a sad, happy, heroic, and yet a story of love, hope, endurance, pride, patriotism, and the ability to stand tall, with grace, and live no matter what the circumstances are. This not your usual Shanna Hatfield story, at least none of what I have read of hers, but this has to be the most beautiful story of love I think I have ever read. There are still some witty conversations and bantering between Miko and Rock. Their little friend from next to Mikos grandparents farm is a really funny little guy who you find yourself falling in love with too as his language from the era is just so funny to me coming from a young man and he is a hero. Oh this is a story that touches your heart strings like no other and yet has such hope from the Japanese Americans that endure their awful circumstances in grace, honor never letting others see any kind of fear or anything that bothers them. They are the most honorable people all like Royalty in their behavior and you see people unlike many Americans. I love this story so much as it is the epitomy of a good love story with all the mostly usual characteristics of a Shanna Hatfield story. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STORY. I feel it is a must read even if have never read on of Shannas fabulous stories before.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Cheyenne Celebration (The Sweet Cheyenne Quartent) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Lee Page; Review: This is another wonderful and touching story in the Sweet Cheyenne Series that I loved. Complex characters, a new person in town, a teacher from New York who can teach oralism and now Annie, Molly's sister can go to school with the other kids. This story has passion in many forms, a friend of the Barett's, Serena has been running her father's ranch but she hates it and living so far from Cheyennes society, she wants to sell but just doesn't know to who. Cam the neighboring rancher wants to marry her but she isn't interested and she thinks he is just after her ranch. When in Cheyenne with her two wacky twin aunts, she sees the new teacher and he is so handsome. She can't take her eyes off of him and he take take his eyes off of her. This is a story with scarey adventure, two beaus acting like two bulls, happiness for Molly and Annie that even though she is deaf she can still go to school now because of her ability to read lips which is what oralism is about along with learning to talk. There is a lot going on in this story, that I highly recommend you read this if you love Caroline Lee's stories and if haven't start with the first in this series and read about Molly's story. I know you will love them both.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Montana Courage (McCutcheon Family) (Volume 9); Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Fyffe Page; Review: Wow, this is one book you have to read in this McCutcheon series. It is so good, filled with so much going on, filled with redemption, love, wanting to help others it is sad at times and happy at others and your emotions just run the through the range of things as they happen. Huge snowstorms always happen in Montana and very cold temps. Can you imagine getting stuck somewhere with a lot of people, thankfully in a warm hotel with food and wood for the fireplaces and wood stoves? You believe this is the best place to be when everything starts to happen in this several day snowstorm. Someone robs the mercantile of all the food and lantern oil so now no lanterns can be used, no replenishment of food. Even wood was hard to get because no one could get through the snow to get to a tree to chop any down to chop up for the hotel or elsewhere. The McCutcheon ranch Heart of the Mountains has enough problems as well such as large packs of wolves, cattle dying and a very pregnant wife of one of the cowboys gets taken to the ranch house because her husband knows he will be very busy and may not get back to their cabin. There are packs of wolves roaming everywhere knowing the weakness of the cattle, humans and any other animal in this kind of weather. Three mail order brides are having their own problems, one not knowing where her sister is, if she tried to leave town, the other very pregnant and the two ranches sort of near each other and easy to get too on a summer day but not in this weather and another who lives at the mill probably worrying about her pregnant sister out at the McCutcheon ranch.. Then a snobby Boston elite man who came with the other sister of the woman who is worrying about her, he refuses to help at the hotel for anyone as it is not his job, and just too below him as he is a guest at the hotel. Ugh. He in my opinion should have been kicked out of the hotel for not doing his share of the work helping others when some couldn't do at all. He almost was and now I wish the hero Shad would have kicked him out. My emotions were everywhere and I could not put down this book. I was drawn in right away and it just kept going and in order to put it down I had to be falling asleep because I was staying up at night still reading this awesome amazing story. Even today snowstorms and immense cold happen today, so imagine what this could have been like back in 1892. Caroline Fyffe does research and writes complex characters and has the knack to write about love, romance and adventure including a possible loss of life for anyone including the hero and heroine. She knows how to add several stories together as she did knitting this story with; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gloria's Song (Grandma's Wedding Quilts) (Volume 11); Author: Visit Amazon's Kathryn Albright Page; Review: Kathryn is a new to me author and I loved this story Book 11 in Grandmas Wedding Quilts series. It is a beautiful story of two separate classes with a need for one of a lower class to tutor a woman in the higher class. Both love music and playing the piano. Back in the 1800s the Irish were lower than second class but Gloria is in need of a piano tutor to get her ready for an audition for entry into a prestigious Music Conservatory. Collin typically just plays at his familys pub. But he has a chance to step in for a friend for a Christmas Eve performance at a high class dinning house. He plays and there is one song he played that really moved Gloria and her father sees something in this young man that may help his daughter get ready for this audition when he fired her last tutor when he found out that her last tutor had a son also auditioning. The father hires Collin but after the first meeting he has with Gloria she dismisses him. He thinks he is not good enough because he never had formal lessons and is of a lower class, but really she thinks he is so much better than she will ever be. I think this is interesting that they each think something different. But her father still wants Collin to tutor his daughter and Gloria just has to go with what her father says. There are other secondary characters who try to get her to quit what they think is a folly but she knows it is something she has to do. One is her almost fiance. He wants her to stop so he can tell her what to do when they are married. More problems occur along the way for them as friends and teacher and student. More twists and turns have made this even a more wonderful story and I really was surprised at the ending or at least part of it. I highly recommend you read this story is you love Historical stories and this one is part of the Grandmothers Quilts series. I loved this story and I will be reading more of Kathryn Albrights books. I received an ARC for my honest and unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kizzie's Kisses (Grandma's Wedding Quilts) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Zina Abbott Page; Review: This is the first book by Zina Abbott I have read and I loved it. It is an amazing start to the first grandchild of Grandma Mary's that has an adventure and falls in love and gains the beautiful wedding quilt Grandma Mary has made for her. If you read the prequel to this story you found out that Grandma Mary gave a family legacy to each of her grandchildren in a wedding quilt when they got married and she always knows when each grandchild is in love before the grandchild does. Kizzie is a young woman who goes against what she should do and often if found wearing her brother's pants and clothes especially when riding a horse astride. She is also very brave and when there is an Indian attack at the town they live near she rides out towards to Fort to find her father and tell him about the attack and to come home and help. She goes back home and gets messages to all the family living in different parts around the same Kansas town to get to safety her grandparents come, cousins come and uncle and every other member of the family get to her parents house to figure out a plain. What she doesn't know is the bullwhackers also have been watching her come and go to the fort and have followed her. You much read this books as this suspense filled story goes on to read what happens to several members of the family and how they get rid of the problems these people are causing all around town and out in the surrounding areas. I really loved this character Kizzie for her spontaneous ways and not kowtowing to anyone when she feels the has to do what she has to do as the oldest child in this household and family. I just loved her spunk. For this first book of Zina Abbot's I loved it and will read more of her stories.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ashley: A Sweet Mail-Order Bride Romance (Brides of Cinnabar) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Kate Connors Page; Review: Kate Connors is a fairly new author and this story shows her ability to create believable characters and putting together a very believable storyline that has all the components of a wonderful historical western romance and I loved this story. I love Ashley a woman who has guts, is smart, has a business mind. and can be a great helpmate to Mal on his sheep farm. She gives him ideas and he accepts them. He finds her beautiful and with a very good mind that can stun him at times. I loved both characters but Cindy the sheep herder dog is awesome and so in tuned to everything. This story has a lot of adventure along with good and evil men and things happening. When they finally plan their wedding after the catholic banns in between both priests that got these two together, Ashely sends an invitation home and gets hurt and upset when no one, not even her younger sister responded. So she believes no one will come to her wedding from her family. What happens when rustlers steel the sheep often since in cattle country sheep are not wanted around? Will they be caught, will the Mal and Ashely get married now since her family won't come, and will Cindy the sheep dog become the favorite of every body? I highly recommend this story to you all to read as it is so good? I received this ARC from the author to read for an unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bobbins and Boots (Baker City Brides) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: I have to say that I loved this story. I have loved all of Shanna Hatfields stories that I have read, but for the first time ever this one had so much emotion that I actually cried after one chapter as things I did not expect happened. Oh I have been sad in parts of her stories, laughed out loud, and laughed silently when reading in bed so I didn't wake my husband, but never have I actually cried before. Yes is a sad part but nothing you would expect. Neither did I actually as the rest of the book was so fun to read and yet this part just hit me out of the blue. Now this is a good thing as it shows her writing to have the unexpected parts as well as the usual banter between characters, the sarcasm, the humor and yes realistic characters with real problems and of course historically accurate with lots of research she puts into her books. This is now my favorite story in the Baker City Brides series and believe me if you haven't read them they all have been hard to outdo but she has at least in my opinion and I have loved each and every one of them. I highly recommend this book as all the Baker City Brides books. If you love historical western romances you will not regret reading this or any other of Shanna Hatfields stories. She also writes contemporary romances as well and has several cook books out also. That is another passion she has. I received this ARC for my honest and unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Mermaid: an Everland Ever After Tail (Volume 8); Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Lee Page; Review: I so enjoyed this cute and very romantic story. This is one of the Everland stories that is highly unique although they are all unique with there fairy tale characters but this one is so different in my mind that I just found it fun and cute and very creative and very romantic. Skipper King our hero has sailed all his life but from an injury he sustained he couldn't anymore so he came to Everland, Wyoming to build the houses for the town with his best friend Ruppert. He also had a hard time looking at water any water would make him sick. His injury was a head injury. He found Enchantment Lake in Everland the only water that he could be near and look at without that feeling so that is where he built his home and woodworking studio for the finer details of the houses he and Ruppert were building. Marina our beautiful red head heroine comes to town in a Gypsy show. She is not a Gypsy but her Daj or adoptive grandmother found her wondering on day when she was about 12. Marina could only remember her name and nothing else about her life or what happened to make her be wondering around a forest. The Gypsies take her in and she lives with her adoptive grandmother and learns to help around the show until she is old enough to learn to perform. This story has all the elements of a great Caroline Lee story. Her very creative and complex characters, her awesome background stories and the towns especially Everland is one for sure to be loved with its quirky characters and fun loving ways. The romances that have their ups and downs, twists and turns, and fun. I really loved this story and I know you will too. If you like historical western romances and fairy tales this one is one you will want to read and if you haven't read any of the Everland series I encourage you to do so Ella is the first book in the series. I guarantee you will enjoy all of this series if you loved fairytales and these are written like no others. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for my honest and unbiased review; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taste of Tara (Magnolias and Moonshine) (Volume 19); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: I loved this contemporary story of Tara and Brett which takes place at a Southern Plantation in Georgia called Magnolia Rose. The story is fun, endearing and the references to Gone With the Wind are amazing. Tara loves Gone With the Wind so much that she and her best friend could memorize and act out whole scenes. Of course she got that from her mother and grandmother since they too would memorize the scenes and act them out. That is how Tara Scarlet got her name. Fitting for the dark haired and beautiful green eyed chef from Portland who resembles Vivian Lee aka Scarlet OHara. Tara gets a one month gig as the pastry chef at this plantation that guests stay at a whole month dressing up in the period costumes just before the Civil War. Of course the gorgeous guy that takes care of the horses is Brett Cutler ah sounds a bit like Rhett Butler. This is their story ultimately as they work at the plantation and fall in love. This is such a great and fun story with the similarities to the book and movie. Tara is even asked to dress up as Scarlet for a one hour question answer session with guests who are also dressed in their costumes. See how much fun this story is by the little I am telling you? Shanna Hatfield writes with fun facts, a lot of sass and just fills the pages of a story with the things a romance reader wants to read without the heat. Clean story with charm and fun and the usual sarcasm thrown in that Shanna does very well. This is a much read and it is in a series of other books by other authors called Magnolias and Moonshine. Now this sounds like a good series to read. I highly recommend this book. I received this ARC for my honest and unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dally (Pendleton Petticoats) (Volume 8); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: Oh boy this is the best story in the Pendleton Petticoats series at least in my opinion. Shanna Hatfield has packed this story with so much like giving us the peek into the lives of our favorite characters, reminders of so many of the characters lives and what has happened in them, including the book Dacey from the American Mail Order Bride series which it the prequel to this series. This is a wonderful story about Daceys daughter Dally who is staying in Pendleton after their whole family has been there a couple of weeks to be at their ranch which was Daceys family home that was once a farm. Hunter who is one year younger is staying with her as the rest of the family heads back to North Carolina to their Plantation where they raise racing horses. It is also about Nik Nash finally returning home as a doctor who is going into a partnership with Doc Reed. He arrives the same day the Douglass are leaving on the train back to go home. He is at the train station when the Douglass are getting ready to leave and helps them load up a cart with their luggage to take to the train. He is happy to see them again but hasn't seen Dally or Hunter for a long time. Dally was fourteen or so the last time he saw her and he is twenty five, but he sees her differently now that she is a grown woman. Dally and Hunter are staying for the first Pendleton Round Up and are excited to stay behind a few more weeks to participate in the Round Up and to do more at the ranch they where they are staying and around to town. Dally is only interested in a cowboy who wants to work on the ranch as she is like her mother and crazy about horses and she works along with the other ranch hands at home in North Carolina and here. As for Nik Nash she realizes he is a very handsome man who is a doctor, who rides not a horse but a motorcycle in this 1910 story, She is not at all interested in someone that doesnt like horses even if he did grow up on one of the most successful ranches in Pendleton. She cant understand why he doesnt just ride a horse like everyone else. Nope he is not for her. This story has fun, adventure and a lot of getting to know others in town as Nik and Dally find themselves in a situation after the Round Up and he becomes her doctor. As you can imagine being doctor and patient they are frequently together as he has to go visit her at the ranch while she is convalescing at the ranch and restricted to the ranch and at first bed. He makes daily visits to check on her and you can imagine in fascination with this feisty, sassy, and fun horse woman who is all alluring. I have read all the stories in this; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rose (Beach Brides) (Volume 9); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: This is the most romantic story I think I have ever read. Oh my this one is funny but undoubtedly the most romantic scenes and hero and heroine you would want in a story. Tanner is the most amazing guy, every woman would want in her life. Yeah he is that kind of guy with a great sense of humor and a heart that has been hit hard. Rose, oh Rose is a beautiful, charming and fun woman who with a bunch of friends wrote a message to a man who has the qualities she wants in a man. The message of all things gets put into a bottle and tossed into the ocean. She doesnt expect anything, but two years later she gets an email from someone she doesnt know who says he found her message. I encourage you to read this most wonderful and romantic story. I love all of Shanna Hatfields stories but this one for some reason touched my heart in a way so different from the other stories I have read. I it a shorter story so there is no need for all the extra goodies you find in her other stories. This romance starts out after he finds the bottle with the message again and he cant get her out of his mind from just one message. It makes you want to continue reading until it is done. You have this urgent need to want to see what happens and you are rooting for this couple all the way through, Get this story and see what I mean. I received a copy of this book voluntarily and according to Amazon guidelines I have voluntarily written my review as my honest opinion and did not receive any compensation or anything else for reading this story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jenny (Beach Brides) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Melissa McClone Page; Review: This is a new author to me and I have to say I love her writing style and her characters that are well developed. This is a short quick read, 12 chapters and it still entails everything you would want in a great romance. Jenny is a sweet funny writer of suspense. She writes with a pseudonym. She gets an email thirteen months after she tossed her message in a bottle in the ocean. Her message was hysterical and from someone who is fun and witty. Dare, an army ranger found the bottle in the Florida keys. He was amused but skeptical but he laughed and smiled at her message. He finally decides to email her and he is witty and fun right back at her. They end up emailing, then texting each other and become good friends. They don't tell each other about anything personal but when she gets a call from his mom that he was in a helicopter accident and in Brooks Army Hospital in San Antonio asking her to come to him, she does. They spend time together while he is in the hospital and get to know each other better. This is a beautiful and funny romance even after his evacuation helicopter went down with he and his men aboard. There of course are surprises during this time. Will their romance survive what is revealed between them or wither away? This is s MUST read and HIGHLY recommended. I know I will be reading more from this author in the future. I recommend you start with book #1 and go through the entire series. I received this ARC from the author for an honest and unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kim (Beach Brides) (Volume 8); Author: Visit Amazon's Magdalena Scott Page; Review: This is another fantastic story in the Beach Brides series and my first story I have read from this author and I loved it. Wow what a difference the heroine Kim is between her friends and everyone she works with and the patients at the hospital to Jon who is going along on a trip with her and friends of them both. They met once before and she was prickly towards him then. This trip if for a business convention that Jon and Travis are going to and Kim is going along to be with a very pregnant Suzanne to spend time with her and make sure as a nurse she can be there is Suzanne needs her. They end up driving another friend David's SUV because Travis's car got hit right when they got to Serendipity where they were stopping to have dinner with Emily and David more friends of both Kim and Jon's. Kim ends up driving because Travis is a bit nervous to drive something so big and since his car just got hit. Jon ends up riding up front with Kim who won't speak to him.

He went back to get it but the bottle and note were gone. Now that David brings it out both Jon and Kim and shocked. What does this mean and does their new found relationship survive? This is a must read and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as it is a great story with a great message as well. So far I have read four books so far and I loved them all in this series and I hope you read them all. You can start with the first one and read them in order or each is fine as a stand alone but reading from the beginning you get to know all the people that may show up in stories along the way like this one. I willing read this ARC and this is my; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lily (Beach Brides) (Volume 10); Author: Visit Amazon's Ciara Knight Page; Review: I loved this story of Lily and Josh. Lily was an amazing artist and really still is. Because of a past relationship she is stilted in her art. She was with her online book club friends and as they all wrote messages for their hearts desire in a man and then they put them in bottles and tossed it into the sea. Lily though drew hers and it was a sad drawing about her and her ex. He or someone apparently received it and Josh an advertiser in and found her art on EBay. He showed it to his client that he hoped would save his company. He finds out were the artist is and hunts her down to ask her to release a new drawing for his client the same as the one he found but with a difference. He wants the man in this picture to look like he is in love with her as much as she is with him. In the original drawing he looks like he doesnt even know her even though they are standing under an arch used for a wedding. She never expected this drawing to show up again and says no. Can Josh wear her down to giving in to save his company? His partner is there as well as her sister and they are all trying to get her to say yes and the amount of money the client who wants this will offer more for this art and them money is a lot. This story is sad, happy, fun and not so fun, Lily is down a lot and has to try to get her muse back. I really did enjoy Josh the gentleman who realizes that Lily has been deeply hurt and her art suffers but he can see her potential and what she can do. This is a must read and I highly recommend it. I would also start at the beginning of the series although all the books can be stand alone ones. This is an amazing story, great romances in this one. I know you will love this contemporary romance story. I was offered this ARC to willingly read and I wanted to review it. This is my honest review of this story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: RNWMP: Bride for Theodore (Mail Order Mounties); Author: Visit Amazon's Kirsten Osbourne Page; Review: This new series is going to be fantastic and Kirsten Osbourne's first book was awesome and I loved the characters. I am glad to see a Mountie series with authors from the Pioneer Hearts Group and I am anxious to read the next book. Great characters, meddling moms and great story, one you will want to read. I highly recommend this book and I think the who series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lisa: Beach Brides Book 6 (Volume 6); Author: Denise Annette Devine; Review: This is another great addition to this wonderful series. I loved Lisa's story. She is such a wonderful woman with a heart who just gets stomped on it seems in her romances and professionally. She just left Enchanted Island where she had her first time meeting all the women in her romance book club. She goes home, loses her job on the first day back and sells her townhouse and goes right back to Enchanted Island to help her auntie run her bed and breakfast. She is a fun loving woman who loves to do unusual things for many women. Shawn is sent there to run their hotel there and to build the strip mall his dad wants. He is against that as it would really hurt the local economy and the locals who run shops there. I love this story and the two main characters and their fun relationship. But what about the note in bottle she through in the water. Who has been contacting emailing her saying he found her bottle? You really need to read this one as all of the Breach Brides but this one seems so different than the others I highly recommend this story and I do with all the ones in this series. I was offered this ARC and wanted to read it and this is my own and honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Amy (Beach Brides) (Volume 12); Author: Visit Amazon's Raine English Page; Review: This is another book in the Beach Brides series and it different in the respect that no one found Amys bottle and she didn't want to go back to Enchanted Island for a reunion with her book club friends who had all found their soul mates and were living their happily ever afters. She is not sure but loves Enchanted Island. She has been seeing a psychic who has helped her but todays meeting was different. Her psychic says she has to go back as she sees a handsome man right there on enchanted Island that found her bottle. Amy gets excited and heads out to the Island. This is another wonderful story in this series. This one is different as no one else found the bottle in the water near the island before. It also has a big twist in it and you just have to read it to find out what is going to happen. Does she and this handsome stranger get together for their happily ever after. This is my first book I have read of Raine English and I love it. It is a sweet novella and a quick read but once you start it you will read it until the end. I must read again in this series. I have been asked to read this book by the author and accepted it without any compensation or anything else. I was asked to review it but I did do as I really wanted to after reading it, and this is my honest unbiased review per Amazons rules.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: California Bound; Author: Visit Amazon's Frank Kelso Page; Review: This is the first book I have read by Frank Kelso and John OMelveny Woods. To by completely honest it was a good plot, good story but not my cup of tea. It did not grab me from the beginning even after a couple of chapters. I read it through and it had a good ending over all. The writing was good and even though I remember one cuss word which included Gods name which I did not like. The language seemed a bit rough but I guess considering the story line and the end of the Civil war, I imagine many of the men on either side would talk like that. It just wasn't my kind of story. Anyway as you read the blurb by the authors the story itself is something I can imagine. Living on the border along the Rio Grande in Texas back in those days the Mexicans from a bad group come over and rustle cattle from Texas and in one raid by a man feared in the American border towns burns down ranches and abducts young women to put into his cantinas or sell them to the highest bidder. In one family he burns the ranch and the parents and brother of the young girl he takes back and keeps to himself. Her uncle is one of the two friends coming home after the war to stop in to see his sister and family and they come across this grizzly scene. They know what these evil men did to his sister before burning her body. Now the plan is changed from heading to California to strike gold but to go into Mexico and get his niece back. Like I said the plot is good and the story was good but just hard for me to read with the roughness and language that bordered on cussing and the description of what is done to people and how this Mexican gang frightens the people of the border towns. I received this ARC by the author and I asked to be a reader for this story without any promise of a review or compensation in any way. This is my own willing and honest unbiased review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Singing Montana Sky (Montana Sky Series) (Volume 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Debra Holland Page; Review: Wow, this is not just another fantastic read from Debra Holland, it is epic. Up until now I thought Mystic Montana Sky was my favorite in this series but it's now a close second. The Songbird of Chicago collapses during a very hard roll she knew she wasn't ready for after an already gruelling schedule already. She concerns family and friends when she becomes so ill they aren't sure she will ever come back to them. She ends up going to Sweetwater Springs to recuperate at her sister Lily's and her husband's ranch being accompanied by Blythe her best friend. She had briefly met Kael Kelly, a lumberjack, at Reverend Joshua and Delia's wedding months before in Sweetwater Springs and found him rather attractive. Now on her trip to her sisters she realizes she had been thinking about him. He loves to sing and does so regularly for his men on his crew at the lumber camp. That is until an accident and the loss of two good men that never should have happened. With a broken arm he has to go and rest at his parents homestead which isn't too far from Tyler's and Lily's ranch. He has been in love with the Songbird of Chicago especially after meeting her at the town's big wedding she sang for months before her collapse. The emotional ups and downs for them both are so compelling you will cry and laugh, hope and think no this is an impossible match. Both know that they their lives are worlds so far apart from each other. This is one of Debra Holland's finest stories and as she tells it is was to be a novella that just kept writing itself practically. It is probably the biggest book in this series that she has written and well worth the time to read it. I highly recommend this story to all who have followed The Montana Sky series and I hope everyone reads it. It is beautifully written and very memorable. If you haven't read any of the books in this series start at the very first compelling story as this is one town who's characters who will love and you need the background for each consecutive story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chasing Christmas: Sweet Western Holiday Romance (Rodeo Romance) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: I really loved this story. This is a really good written story by Shanna Hatfield where she really created awesome character and a fun story about two people who never met before have a pretend wedding in Las Vegas during the big rodeo event that takes place every year. This idea was to help Chases career as a top Bull Rider. Chases cousin Ashley is his publicist who comes up with weird ideas to promote him and get him more exposure. She comes up with this idea to have drawing for a bride for Chase and they would have a pretend all media event wedding in Vegas. Chase thinks she is crazy and wants nothing to do with this. He finally agrees when she tells him about the big sponsors he will get and how many will be giving stuff for this wedding which wouldnt be cheap normally. Jessica Pierce is a graphics designer and lives in LA. She gets a call that she won this contest which she didn't enter but her friend Stacy did it for her. This story goes from a pretend wedding to but find out it was real as they signed a marriage certificate. This really complicates both Chases life and Jessicas. The have to stay married for a year for Chase to get all his endorsements. Oh and she has to move in with him as there are reporters and photographers around them so they have to make sure it all looks real. Well, this can really make for some fun and funny and some hard times for both of them and attraction that they aren't supposed to do anything about as this is a marriage in name only. Boy this makes it so difficult for both but Chase feels with his career that he shouldnt have a wife with his career. Well you can image all kinds of different things that can happen with this scenario. All kinds of fun, hurt, pain, mixed emotions and so much more. Shanna can really create a twist and turn kind of story and she did in this one. I absolutely loved this very creative story with some old friends for some of her other stories. It is one that I highly recommend this story to all who love funny, witty, and adventurous romances. I did voluntarily received this ARC and I wanted to review it as it was so good. No pressure to do so and I did not receive and compensation for doing so.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Heart of Clay: (Sweet Western Romance) (The Women of Tenacity) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: Wow, this contemporary western by Shanna Hatfield was really unusual for her from all the stories I have read before. I loved it and couldn't put it down. She has well complex developed characters in this story as she does in all her stories, but this one made me want to cry, laugh, and get a bit upset at the circumstances that the hero and heroine go through to finally get to the love and romance they both wanted and deserved. Boy the ups and downs in this story really had my emotions going. The couple is married but they are having trouble and have been for a few years. They go though those ups and downs but nothing prepared me for the things that happen to each of them as they get their romance going again then it stops and then more trouble brews. I told you it had many ups and downs but you root for this couple all the way as you just know they are meant to be together. It has all the kinds of things that make a great story. Every couple goes through things and some find their way back to each other and some don't. It is a real life like story that could easily happen to a couple at any part of history but more so in modern times where divorce is easy and staying together is not easy, always. I am glad this one works out and I can relate to the ups and downs of married life myself. So my emotions did run the gamut of good to bad to good and in between. I loved this story and I highly recommend it to anyone and those of you that already love Shanna's stories should read this if they haven't.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Steve The Mule: A Pendleton Petticoats Children's Book; Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: This is Shanna Hatfield's first children's story and I loved it. It was so cute and the story of Steve the Mule guarding his owners daughter is so cute and just a wonderful children's story. The illustrations are wonderful and presented Steve as the adorable Mule that he is. Steve the Mule is in Bertie a book out of her Pendelton series. Now Steve has come to life in this adorable children's book. Added in is Mud the owner's horse and he is adorable as well. Great children's story and wonderful illustrations. I hope she writes more children's stories. Get it for the children in your life.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Christmas Confection (Hardman Holidays) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanna Hatfield Page; Review: This is the sixth book in the Hardman Holiday series. I really loved this story and I think this is the best one so far. I love them all but they keep getting better and better. Shanna Hatfield really knows how to build very good characters that are complex and usually have a troubled past maybe just one of them or both the hero and heroine. Elsa is a baker and she and her twin brother moved to Hardman from Boston to start a second bakery in the family. They wanted something different and so the pooled their resources and bought the bakery from the people who had it before and weren't very successful. Fred is a young man who lived most of his life in Hardman but moved away for awhile until his mom had a stroke and he came home to take care of her. He had a very difficult past with a father as an outlaw and he just cant seem to shake his past. He started falling in love with Elsa the moment sure stepped of the stagecoach. But he knew he could never get a woman like her with his past. Elsa is a fabulous baker and the whole town practically visits every day to get baked goods and sometimes breakfast and lunch with Elsa whips up while doing her baking. There are some men from the saloon that think she is a harlot that went missing long ago as she does resemble this other woman but Fred know she is no. She has told people she isn't this other woman but the men at the saloon. As you can imagine with this background all kinds of things start happening between Elsa and Fred and adventure and danger await with these idiot men who think she is someone this other woman. This story also has fun, funny stuff and sass and sarcasm all trademarks of Shanna Hatfields fantastic writing. I highly encourage you to purchase this book as I know you will love it. If you are familiar already with the series they go get this book now as you will want to read it and you cant put it down. I was offered this ARC without promising to do a review but I wanted to review this story as I love Shanna Hatfields stories immensely.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Prairie Doctor's Bride; Author: Visit Amazon's Kathryn Albright Page; Review: This is a wonderful story of a town that needs mail order brides. The Dr. in town keeps contemplating getting married or getting a nurse which he really needs. He needs someone that can help him in his practice if needed and someone to keep his home and cook but never really wanted to get married. This is the second round of mail order brides coming in. The doc didn't do well in the first round as he always had to leave the one he was trying to court in the middle of a walk or dinner because he was called out to someones place or back to his office. He had one bride he was interested in and would take her with him so he could see how she could do as his nurse. That didn't work out so well. This time around he wasn't going to do it again but he did go to the train station to see the brides and ended up joining in the bride fund so he can see if he can find a good match. He had been kidnapped the week before by a very desperate woman whose son fell off the shed and before he fell thru though roof. She didn't know what to do and had to leave her unconscious son to go into town to get the doc. She was afraid he wouldnt come if he knew she couldn't pay. Through time he sees her as a very competent nurse but still didn't even think of her as a wife. It took a long time for him to get it. She however didn't think anyone would want her because of her past and all the gossip that was passed all over town by her brother in law and the mercantiles owners wife. Will they overcome both their problems and be able to work things out? This is a very well written and the characters are well rounded and both hurting from their pasts. One is from the back woods of Virginia and one is from Boston and very well educated and went through med school. Kathryn Albright wrote this very well in all aspects of a great story. I was offered an ARC and accepted and wrote this review because I wanted to. I was not asked to write one in any way or compensated in anyway to get me to write this review. These are my words and my honest opinion. I highly recommend this story to one and all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Heart of Eden (Colorado Hearts); Author: Visit Amazon's Caroline Fyffe Page; Review: Heart of Eden (Colorado Hearts Novels) By Caroline Fyffe Wow this first story of this new series by Caroline Fyffe is a Blockbuster. It's new, fresh, wild, and adventurous, the stories of the Five Brinkman Sisters who arrive in Eden, Colorado to find out what their deceased father's will entails and not expecting much at all. Bam hit between the eyes at what transpires in the attorney's office they really don't know what to think and they all need time to process it all. This is a wonderful new start to what I believe will be the next blockbuster series that the amazing Caroline Fyffe has put together. Caroline writes very intriguing characters, unimaginable character's that you have no idea are as evil as they are, and so unsuspected. High adventure and so many things you have come to love with her writing. If you know Caroline Fyffe's work then you already know this one is another fantastic work of art and if you haven't read a Caroline Fyffe's story, then heck start with this one and then go back to the other fantastic series she has. I promise they are all so good. I received this ARC from NetGalley. I am doing my own honest and unbiased review without compensation of any kind.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grace's Hope (Journey to Freedom) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Cissie Patterson Page; Review: This is a wonderful story that just makes you sad, happy and thrilled at the end. It has well developed characters and a great concept, one I never read anything close to. Bravo Cissie Patterson on coming up with this plot and I just loved this story. This is only Cissie Patterson's second book and it is really good and I hightly recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hang Your Heart on Christmas: A Historical Western Christian Romance (The Brides of Evergreen); Author: Visit Amazon's Heather Blanton Page; Review: This is just a wonderful story of two hurting people who find they really need each other and yet seem to repeal each other at every turn. I loved the story and the heartfelt pull of each character to resist each other for their own reasons. She is a new teacher coming into Evergreen, CO when she gets off the train she is caught up in the Marshal ready to get his two prisoners onto the train as she is getting off and gets caught up in a shoot out and a gun to her head by one of the prisoners. The Marshal sees a beautiful woman and for a moment he is caught off guard and trouble ensues. He is stripped of his Marshal badge and given an unpaid interm sheriff job since the sheriff got shot. Needless to say this is an up and down hate, love relationship sort of and a good one at that. This is only the second story, a short novella of Heather Blanton's that I have read and I really loved it. I will be reading more of her wonderful stories.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: I Love You More: A Sweet Contemporary Romance Novella; Author: Visit Amazon's Josie Riviera Page; Review: I Love You More is a really wonderful story about the bonds of love is several ways. It tells of the love of a child, adopted from South Korea and among a divorce and cancer, plus shared custody all taking a toll on our heroine. The bonds of friendship from long past renewed but with a greater strength and more than friendship as the two hero and heroine are both realizing they are meant to be. Love in a variety of ways and amongst many odds and twists that you start out reading and get drawn in so fast you can't put this novella down. It's beautiful, heart breaking and scary due to nature. So many twists and turns to get to the good stuff. The love of family anew. So many things to take in but oh this is so worth the read. I haven't read many from this author but the few of have read have all been so wonderful I will keep reading more of this author. I received this ARC without compensation of any kind and this review is of my own unbiased opinion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Faith in Sweetwater County (Volume 10); Author: Visit Amazon's Ciara Knight Page; Review: This contemporary story that takes place in Sweetwater County is so very good. I really loved it and Its character driven story. Cline Grant is a pastor and Kinley Stafford is a social worker meet as a set up by the woman who seems to run the town. Neither want a relationship. Kinley still kicking herself for letting a kid die in her care as a social worker and a year later still cant live life. The Pastor has a secret that he cant have out in the open in this new town he and his niece Chrissy just moved too. Kinley and Cline keep meeting as she wanted so badly to set up an at program at the church for youth at risk. The only other pastor in town didn't think that was a good idea. Cline wanted to do the same thing as Kinley did but he was afraid of letting Kinley too close since she could cause him trouble. There is an attraction between the two but both try to keep it from happening. There is so much going on in this story and all of it is fantastic and this it a book you do not want to put down. I highly recommend this story from Ciara Knight who really knows how to write fantastic stories and creates wonderful characters and suspense and conflicting emotions that the stories keep you wanting so see what is going to happen next. I received this ARC from the author but this is a review I wanted to do, not pushed to do and it is my honest opinion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Louisa: Cap Garland's Irish Mail Order Bride (Sweet Land of Liberty Brides); Author: Visit Amazon's Lorena Dove Page; Review: I enjoyed this story of a young woman who has been through all kinds of bad things mostly people in her life she loves passing away and still comes out strong and gets a new beginning. Louisa didn't know just how strong she could be until she felt she almost lost the life of an baby and the mother. She she was a midwife and delivered babies to supplement her income with her boarding house she owns. When her husband dies she needed a way to live. This story has flashbacks as she remembers the past things of her life where she felt responsible for someone that went bad. I did enjoy this story and all the flash backs that filled in the blanks. It was a different kind of story that way. I received this ARC from the author and this review is my own opinion and without any compensation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Oh Danny Boy; Author: Visit Amazon's Josie Riviera Page; Review: I haven't been to Ireland but now I want to go. Josie Rivera's beautiful story has me seeing what Ireland can be like and the people that really can be so caring and love life. I loved her hero and heroine. Danny is one kind of a man every woman would fall in love with and Clara is one tough lady who is still fragile inside. Danny is also remembering a past he would rather forget. This is a beautiful story with lots of emotion and caring and danger at least to one heroine. It is also one where you just might not be sure how it will turn out but you sure hope it is a good ending and well it is. I highly recommend this story and I don't believe you will ever regret it buying it. I received this story as an arc but not for review. This my own doing as I loved this story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Rancher Inherits a Family (Return to Cowboy Creek); Author: Visit Amazon's Cheryl St.John Page; Review: Of all the stories I have read in Cowboy Creek I think this is my favorite. When Marigold Brewster arrives in Cowboy Creek or should I say almost arrives there as the train derailed, she was really hoping that this new town would be just what she needed. But the first thing to happen is the train derailing about a mile or so outside of town. She had three boys that she found on the train traveling alone so she just became their guardian. They were being sent out to rancher Seth Halloway but he doesnt know it. Seth is in town picking up supplies when the bell starts ringing indicating that there is an all-out emergency and finds out that the train derailed and then he drops everything even taking all his supplies out of his wagon to have it available for people who are injured or worse. Several men and woman went out to the derailed train to help and when Seth comes into one of the cars he hears a womans voice and has to move train seats to find her. Then he finds three boys with her and a cat that she refuses to leave behind. As Seth was getting the cat unstuck he gets injured and is taken off the train and rushed to the doctors with Marigold and the boys and cat. While on the train Seth finds out that the boys are his best friends and his wifes kids and both parents are gone so the mother writes a note before she dies to Seth with all the correct paperwork for him to raise them. He plans on doing just that even if he is a busy rancher and has no clue about kids. Marigold is the new teacher in Cowboy Creek and is invited to live at Seths ranch by his mother to help with the kids and his healing. Now starts the marry go round as they sort of dance around each other with feelings popping up between them that neither want. This story has it all. The adventure, the attraction, both falling for the boys, and so much more. Oh, and Seth sees Marigold as the most beautiful woman inside and out that he has ever known and Marigold sees Seth as the most attractive and caring man she has ever known. Problem is neither want a partner in life. Also, both have ghosts in their pasts that they cant get past. How will their relationship work and turn out? I highly recommend this story as you will find it hard to put it down. I was given this ARC by the author to read and I was not pressured at all or given any compensation for my review which I wanted to give and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Faith (Beach Brides Series) (Volume 11); Author: Visit Amazon's Helen Scott Taylor Page; Review: This is another wonderful and very imaginative story in the Beach Brides Series. Helen Scott Taylor is a new author to me and I really loved this story and her creativity in this story which was a complete surprise to me as to how and where this story takes place. It is such a sweet story and really full of history of lands far away. This story is so different from the other ones I have read which I loved them all but this one was unique. I loved her hero and heroine and a little boy who has a romantic heart as he wants his dad to be happy as he is always so sad. This little boy is the one who finds Faiths bottle that she threw in the Caribbean and it was found off the coast of Scotland. Out of all the stories I have read so far in this series this has to be the farthest a bottle has gone before it was found. I highly recommend this story as has it has castles and the beautiful landscape of Scotland and a high rescue in a blizzard and so much more. I love this story and I think I just may read more from this new to me author. I was offered this ARC and per Amazons guidelines I am willing giving my review as I really enjoyed this story. This is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: His Substitute Mail-Order Bride (Return to Cowboy Creek); Author: Visit Amazon's Sherri Shackelford Page; Review: This is the second book to Return to Cowboy Creek and I loved this one as much as I loved Sherris stories in Cowboy Creek. This has all the makings of a really good story with lots of secrets, problems like a hold up which begins this story so you are hooked right from the start. Old friends meeting again after many years when there were just children in school and now seeing each other as adults. Messy problems that could lead to an arrest for something someone didn't do. So many other things that happen and of course friendships and revisiting previous characters in Cowboy Creek. Budding romance which just might go astray. It is a really good story and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves historical western romances. I received this as an ARC and I am no way committed to leave this review but I do so because I wanted to. If you really like or love a story you should always leave a review so others know they might like to read that story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Nicholas Cosmetic Dental Center; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Okay for a substitute dentist. The staff at this office was very friendly and precautious during the COVID-19 pandemic. The office also had the cutest little dog running around to brighten up my visit. :) I went in today just for a routine cleaning. I typically go to Newton Family Dentist in Newark Delaware and they do an amazing job. Today at Nicholas Cosmetic Dental Center, Dr. Malik was acting as a dental hygienist. She made my teeth cleaner but not fully clean as she missed several spots containing plaque buildup. My recommendation for her would be to spend a little more time using the Cavitron especially on those hard to reach areas. If I could go back in time I would take the trip out to Newton Family Dentist in Newark Delaware and have LaDonna do the cleaning for me. Don't get me wrong, Dr. Malik did and okay job, but she doesn't have the same level of attention to detail as LaDonna. I also want to note my teeth are relatively easy to clean since I never had a cavity in my life, and also had my teeth straightened with the Invisalign process. Hope this helps!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Little Sicily Pizza; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The pizza was amazing and economical! I ate 7 out of the 8 slices in just one sitting all by myself. I will definitely be going back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Melrose Diner; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Typically I would give Melrose diner 4 to 5 stars. This time I went to pick up my order and there were barely any other customers due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. I have a $10 gift card from Yelp that is nearing expiration. As a repeat customer it is quite discouraging for the staff to not honor a legitimate gift-card. They didn't even try to figure out how to input the gift-card in to their POS system. I could understand if they were really busy but with as little customers as they had, I would have appreciated it if they figured out how to honor my gift card.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Philadelphia Federal Credit Union; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The worst. This review is implied for the South Philadelphia location. The guy who opened up my account appeared to be on drugs. He used an old residential address for my business account because it was on my drivers license. The process took over three hours. The bank is unable to correct any of the issues I have been having. I am on my fourth debit card now! Nothing but a waste of time. This is the worst bank ever. Stick to a large corporation to do your banking, verses this drug infested establishment designed for poor people.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Flannel; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Too expensive for ice tea. Refills should be communicated as an extra charge. The owner can't see things from the customers perspective and has to combat people who spend money at his establishment. One additional side note, I am not a fan of Flannel taking up two parking spots that have meters to have more outdoor dinning. Parking is an issue in philly as it is. It is rude just like the owners responses to customers. He mentions in his review about "real bourbon syrup", I got individual packets of fake syrup. Not sure if he is on top of his business like he thinks he is.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: China Garden; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Hands down best Chinese food experience of all time. Super quick service, sanitary, and COVID-19 consciences! The food was great and the value was amazing!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Schafer's Auto Center; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Rip off beware! My truck went there for an all wheel alignment not too long again and I had to complain to the owner because it still was not driving straight. He agreed to look at it again and the second time it was a little better but the steering wheel still would shift to the left when I would use the break or go over a bump. I accepted the job they did because my truck was in an accident and figured it was as good as it could get. I recently dropped my truck off at Schafer's Auto Center because I had a front low beam lightbulb out and to get an inspection. I just got a call from Schafer's and they are telling me I need a front end alignment. My truck never was properly aligned to begin with if a mechanics claiming I need a front end alignment again. There excuse was "welcome to Philadelphia " as if the location is to blame for my truck getting out of alignment so quickly. I ordered them not to do any work on my truck and that I will pick it up tomorrow in the morning. We will see if they preform work against my will. I do not trust them! Please learn from my mistake!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Flannel; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Too expensive for basic food, owner is rude. Never going back again. I hate seeing him disrespect customer's opinions. Hopefully he changes before his business suffers... below you can see a screen shot of him calling me stupid :(; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Xperience Sea Breeze Resort; City: Sharm El Sheikh South Sinai Red Sea and Sinai; Review: We stayed for a week at the hotel and had a fantastic time. The hotel is very modern and the rooms are lovely. The staff are extremely friendly and made sure we were having fun. This hotel really is all inclusive - you could get as many bottles of water as you liked, there were cocktails, and the food was lovely. All of the pools are lovely - the main and beach pool are great fun, and there are three quieter pools for relaxing. The snorkeling from the hotel jetty was amazing, and just as good as that of the bigger reefs by Tiran island. The animation team provided plenty to do, but if you just wanted to relax and unwind they wouldn't hassle you. Thanks for a brilliant holiday!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand View Sapa Hotel; City: Sapa Lao Cai Province; Review: Stayed here as part of a Sapa tour. The hotel has a great view over the mountains and big rooms but is a little dirty and absolutely FREEZING (no heating and gaps in doors to outside). The food was nice but the service wasn't great (though perhaps this was linked to it being new year). In the summer would consider staying here but the cold made it uncomfortable to sit in the dining room or sleep.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Zostel Pushkar; City: Pushkar Ajmer District Rajasthan; Review: The team at Zostel Pushkar are friendly and there are lots of great communal spaces to chill out in. The hostel is an easy 15 minute walk to the centre. Unfortunately when I was staying there was quite a bit of improvement works going on. My room was also on the ground floor which meant I was woken quite early by the staff playing loud music in the common areas. The dorm was quite small and the A/C also very noisy.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Jaswant Bhawan Home Stay; City: Jodhpur Jodhpur District Rajasthan; Review: Had a good stay at Jaswant Bhawan and found the owner Om and his nephew very friendly and helpful (though at times difficult to find them) - they will even help with bus tickets etc. My room was large however the fan was so noisy/powerful I had to sleep without (perhaps opt for A/C in future). The rooftop view of the fort and blue city is amazing and the location is good for exploring the traditional homes in the old city. It is quite far from the central clock tower area, however, and there are not many restaurants nearby. This isn't too much of a problem as the food served at the hotel is delicious and the owner Om cooks this to order. The hotel is conveniently located near the fort, and though I got lost, you are able to access the fort from a back gate.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: OYO 2202 Hotel City Heights; City: New Delhi National Capital Territory of Delhi; Review: Hotel City Heights has a good location on the main bazaar close to New Delhi station and restaurants. Unfortunately the hotel doesn't look quite like the photos on booking.com - the rooms are a little run down and there were stains on the bedding. However, the staff were very helpful when I wanted to change rooms to get better wifi connection/fixing my television. The restaurant is quite an odd empty space so I opted to order food to my room - good selection and tasty. If you book via booking.com breakfast is not included - ignore the sign in the rooms about free breakfast as this is for guests booking through Oyo.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: GoStops Delhi Stops Hostel Delhi; City: New Delhi National Capital Territory of Delhi; Review: Had a good stay at Stops Hostel in New Delhi. The team are very friendly and run a number of tours. The hostel has a great chill out area with a pool table, table football, darts, and movie projector. There's a kitchen free to use and the hostel serve a good free breakfast. The hostel is pretty central (30 min walk or 10 min tuk tuk to New Delhi station), but the neighbourhood doesn't have many restaurants etc.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: GoStops Varanasi Stops Hostel Varanasi; City: Varanasi Varanasi District Uttar Pradesh; Review: Had a great stay at Stops Varanasi - the hostel is clean and spacious with lots of great spaces to chill out and meet other travellers. The hostel also put on great evening activities (like movie night) and run loads of tours which are a great way to learn about Varanasi (without getting lost!). I went on the sunrise ghat tour and evening food tour both of which were great! Breakfast at the hostel was also fab! Only small downsides are that the hostel is a little hard to find (but tuk tuks know where it is) and the dorm was a bit noisy (as right next to common area) and A/C very cold (but too hot without it!) - perhaps blankets would be a good investment. Overall a great stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West; Author: Visit Amazon's Dee Brown Page; Review: Many people don't remember how important this book was in the Indian movement of the early '70s. It is an excellent overview of many of the major atrocities inflicted by white people and the government on Indians, beginning with Columbus (murdered or let die an entire nation) to Wounded Knee (another, another, another round 'em up and kill them action by the army). As Vine Deloria points out, the government had a perfect record in dealing with Indians: 600+ treaties made; 600+ treaties broken. An excellent starter book for anyone interested in learning about why Indians dislike state and federal governments.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Custer Myth (Stackpole Classics); Author: Visit Amazon's W. A. Graham Page; Review: It was great to find a book published well over 50 years ago, so I could see what "spin" the author had on the battle. Surprisingly, the author did not laud Custer--the title comes from the author's belief that Custer was more made up than real. The author, though retired military, made what appeared to be a fair attempt to reconstruct the attacks from the Indian's point of view. The book does not compare to "Lakota Noon" in analysis, but the author states at the beginning he is just presenting the facts as reported by others. The book also contained other interesting information from Sitting Bull that even my boss, a Lakota, had not seen. Be warned, though: It's a long book with a lot of self-serving statements by Army officers.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Little Bighorn Remembered: The Untold Indian Story of Custer's Last Stand; Author: Visit Amazon's Herman J. Viola Page; Review: I wished I had known (should have read the reviews!) that this is a coffee table attempt to deal with an extremely complicated subject. The pretty pictures and artwork were fine, but the book claims to have important historical information from the Crow scouts. When I read (reread and reread) the accounts, I was no closer to understanding what happened. Indeed, one descendant of the Crow scouts admitted that the versions of the events told to him by the scouts were not the same. The book's strength is in its modern work at the site. The articles about what items were found at both sites with metal detectors (a whole horse!) was fascinating and worth the purchase price. For instance, that bullets with the same rifling were found all over the Custer battle site is fascinating. I hope more metal detector search can be done.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Lakota Noon: The Indian Narrative of Custer's Defeat; Author: Gregory F. Michno; Review: Michno's work is excellent, with the exception of his failure to include the reports of the Crow scouts. The main question that plagued me (and historians) is: Did Custer or any main body approach or cross the LBH? Michno partly answers the question: By focusing on the stories of the four to eight defenders at the river, Michno proves an Army force went to the river and was repulsed. He also provides strong analysis that it was not Custer, nor were there two deaths at the river. The best book on the incident by far.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Biggest Loser Cookbook: More Than 125 Healthy, Delicious Recipes Adapted from NBC's Hit Show; Author: Visit Amazon's Devin Alexander Page; Review: "The Biggest Loser Cookbook" has become a hit at our house. We tend to focus on the snack foods, easy meals and breakfasts, so we don't have much to say about the dinners. We found the following: (1) The recipes are simple and quick, using food items we can easily buy; (2) The snacks and meals are filling, even though they are much lighter in calories; and (3) The recipes have flavor. All of the recipes are easily adaptable: After reading the snacks section, our daughter-in-law began cutting up bananas and mixing them in lowfat yogurt for the grandkids. They love it and it is good for them. Buy it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Coyote Stories; Author: Visit Amazon's Mourning Dove Page; Review: As a child (45-50 years ago), I read this book while visiting my Grandmother on the Yakama Indian Reservation. Reading the book again reminded me that cultural stories have a theme and thought pattern to them that includes common sense. In other words, that we now know that Coyote is not the supreme ruler of the animal world does not diminish the lessons that each story contains. A simple, excellent work that will acquaint even the most intellectual person with a world some say no longer exists.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto; Author: Jr. Vine Deloria; Review: It's probably impossible to say anything about this book that Indians will not agree with and most non-Indians will not understand. You've got to be a part of the world Deloria describes to understand the humiliation and insults Indian people, especially on Reservations, face daily. Let me give you one example: How many of you don't own the land your house sits on? Ask a Reservation Indian and you will find that many, if not most, have "houses" sitting on "federal" land. Deloria just scratched the surface. A talk show host correctly gets fired for using a racial slur involving black women. A university donor is hunted and scorned (gee, righteous anger is so swell) for using a horrible term. Each day, though, the Braves play ball as the Redskins get ready for their season, and schools across the nation call themselves racial names-or paint themselves up (remember "blackface" - can't do that anymore) to be an Indian. For shame. Too bad Deloria didn't write more books like this one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: How to Change Your Life: An Inspirational, Life-Changing Classic from the Ernest Holmes Library; Author: Visit Amazon's Ernest Holmes Page; Review: Unlike many others who read this book, I found the presentation pretty boring. The thoughts are great but the book was, to me, dull.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Carl Maxey: A Fighting Life (V. Ethel Willis White Books); Author: Visit Amazon's Jim Kershner Page; Review: If this review were about the man in the story, it would be five stars. Mr. Maxey did more from nowhere than any other person to fight social injustice. The book, however, is flawed because it saves Mr. Maxey's famous temper until later in the book, making it sound like Mr. Maxey was a calm person until later in his career. Mr. Maxey's death points out that social injustice and degradation can haunt a very significantly successful person, even to the end of their life. His death should be a reminder to all of us that hateful words inflict pain for a lifetime.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Scotty's Brewhouse; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Scott Wise's creation stands far above the typical bar food expectation. I've been a loyal Scotty's guest across all Indy-area locations for nearly three years now, and never once have I been even slightly disappointed with food quality. The Shewman Special sounds adventurous with the addition of peanut butter, but the creamy taste balances out the bite of the jalapenos quite nicely. The Burger of the Month is always unique and definitely worth ordering; I've enjoyed everything from the Deep Fried Oreo Burger during State Fair season to the more tame Bruschetta Burger, which exceeded my expectations. Service is typically excellent, but as with any chain, the large turnover in staffing leads to the occasional less-than-friendly waiter or waitress. Such encounters have been few and far between. All things considered, Scotty's is always my go-to restaurant to watch sporting events or even just to spend a few hours; there are plenty of sports bars in the Amateur Sports Capital of the World, but this one has captured my heart (and, more importantly, my stomach).; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bee Coffee Roasters; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I've edited my original review after the owner, BJ, personally reached out to me following my negative comments. Bee Coffee has my business and my recommendation. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Bee Coffee offers a step up from the typical, but falls just shy of achieving the "Wow!" factor. While downtown Indianapolis lacks a true "go-to" coffee shop, Bee Coffee does a good job of filling the gap. You won't find a massive selection of drinks to choose from, but the drinks they do offer provide a unique take on the traditional. I've experienced a bit of diversity when ordering the same drinks as well, perhaps based on either barista preference or just knowledge of the drink; while each barista will have his or her own unique touches, it seems more like ingredients are being added at will instead of keeping consistency with drink recipes. All-in-all, Bee Coffee is a great stop to avoid setting foot in Starbucks; even with the criticism I've offered, I still intend on giving Bee a share of my business in the future. There isn't much space to relax in the quaint corner suite, but if you're looking for a grab-and-go option, you could do much worse.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Yats; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: No matter which Yats location I find myself frequenting, I've never been even slightly disappointed. Good cajun/creole food is often hard to come by, but the delicious assortment of dishes you come across at this New Orleans' transplant's dining chain is unmatched in the Central Indiana region. From the Chili Cheese Etoufee to the Drunken Chicken, you're guaranteed a hearty (and affordable) meal that will not only fill you to the brim but will provide a quite enjoyable dining experience. At each Yats location you'll find a similar ambience; hints of Indianapolis history accentuated with a 60s-esque psychedelic vibe. The decor is stimulating but not overwhelming, providing an interesting landscape for your eyes to wander. Service is also a high point at each location - while you won't often receive (or need) table service, the cashier and cook are always more than willing to make accommodations and help in any way necessary. All things considered, Yats is a high point in the Indianapolis dining community; those that haven't gotten a chance to experience owner Joe Vuskovich's creation need to prioritize a trip as soon as possible.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Prime 47; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I stopped in at Prime 47 for a business dinner having passed the restaurant a thousand times but never actually stopping in. That will definitely change in the future. From the prompt service I received the second I set foot in their gorgeous dining area to the very last bite of my incredible Kansas City Strip, every part of my meal was noteworthy. This one-of-a-kind steakhouse knows that it faces steep competition from the more "prestigious" (also see: "bougie") fine dining options in the downtown area, but every member of the staff sets Prime 47 apart with not only delicious food but exceptional people. Upon entering the front entrance on Pennsylvania, I was immediately greeted by a hostess who offered to take my coat and promptly went to grab the person I was meeting with. The General Manager, Troy, also made a point of stopping over before I was seated to check in and get acquainted, as well as stopping by throughout my meal to make sure everything was up to their very high standard. My server, Chris (who has spent a long time with the restaurant), was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and made sure to bring out a display of the different cuts of meat they would be serving that evening for me to see before I ordered. Chris also made sure to check up multiple times throughout the meal to refill drinks and bring other courses; his service struck the perfect balance between attentive but not overbearing. I also met with Lisa, the Sales Manager, for the meal - it's quite clear that anyone looking for private dining is in the best of hands in the Indianapolis area. To begin, we ordered a shrimp cocktail and calamari - though I wanted to pace myself for the main course, I had a hard time staying away from these delicious starters. The shrimp were massive and the cocktail sauce burned in all the right ways, and the calamari provided an excellent, creamy palate cleanse. I followed the starters with a bowl of their Lobster Bisque soup, which was the perfect lead-up to my main course. I ordered the dry-aged Kansas City Strip with seared scallops wrapped in prosciutto de parma, and I assure you my mouth is still watering. I was also brought a side of lobster mac and cheese and brussel sprouts, which I unfortunately couldn't dig into (but surely will be reheating this evening). I tried my hardest to keep my composure and not just inhale my incredible cut of meat, but ultimately I found myself desperately picking at every last bite of meat left on the bone. As always, I ordered my steak medium-rare and it was immaculately prepared, perfectly juggling the hot red center with a sizzling exterior. The scallops were an excellent pairing, and my Davis Bynum Pinot Noir enhanced the experience even further. Though the meal lasted nearly three hours, the time flew by thanks to excellent spacing by the serving team; their ability to allow time between courses but not leave you waiting is; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Flap Jack's Pancake House; City: Zionsville, IN; Review: Flapjacks is a Zionsville favorite, as evidenced by the crowd you'll find every Saturday and Sunday morning. There aren't many breakfast options on the Northwest side of Indy, which allows a little leeway in quality of food, but Flapjacks still will leave you feeling very full without making a very big dent in your wallet. This morning I had the Western Skillet, a typical egg-hash brown-cheese concoction with the addition of ham, tomatoes, green peppers, and onions. The skillet was good and also came with a side of two pancakes, but it's certainly nothing mind-blowing. For Zionsville/Whitestown cuisine, Flapjacks is a good choice, but those of you traveling from another part of the city will be better suited to make the trek to somewhere like Patachou.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Chili's; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: The only thing worse than the food was the service. Wow. We weren't served for nearly 40 minutes, food was terribly overcooked, just a bad experience all around. Won't be returning.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Tavern on South; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Tavern on South was an excellent blend of a casual tavern atmosphere with the decor and culinary development of a fine dining establishment. I was introduced to the owner, Steve, upon entering Tavern on South, and he modeled the same excellent service as the rest of his team. This two-story upscale pub tucked away just west of Lucas Oil Stadium has all the perks of your hometown bar while offering some incredible and original concoctions that will leave you wishing you could stretch your stomach just a little bit more. I started off with the Ahi Tuna and Pretzel Rods for an appetizer; the soft, flavorful tuna and the perfectly dense pretzels were the perfect starter for a meal that only got better. I followed up my appetizer with their pork chops, served over apple dumplings and a potato pancake with a sort of apple butter-esque sauce on top. The pork was perfectly cooked, incredibly juicy and crisp on the outside but not overcooked in the slightest. The mix of salty and sweet was an amazing combination that I didn't expect. I finished with a side of lobster mac and cheese, which I barely had room for after the rest of my amazing meal. Though it's a bit pricier than your typical pub food, that's because it's not your typical pub food - Tavern on South straddles the line between casual and upscale with perfect balance, never threatening to fall one way or the other. I'll definitely be back.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cafe Patachou; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Patachou is an Indianapolis novelty for a reason. If you're looking for brunch options in Indy, you'd be hard-pressed to find something better than Patachou. I had the Bacon and Avocado Broken Yolk sandwich as well as the Croissant French Toast - both were incredible. The Broken Yolk sandwish, as you'll read in nearly every other Yelp review, is an amazing concoction of an egg over-easy on thick-cut sourdough bread made in-house with your choice of additional toppings. The bacon and avocado were incredible additions, giving a little more taste to process. The croissant french toast was absolutely phenomenal; it's soaked overnight in cream and egg to really let the bread and liquids mix well, and it's unbelievably good. I got sides of fruit and greens with my plates. Perhaps the best part of Patachou is the menu variety; you can get anything from a vegan omelette to a plate of french toast that would scare a Vegan halfway across the planet. Most of Patachou's ingredients are locally sourced as well, with the exception of produce that our cold climate can't provide during the winter months. I had the pleasure of meeting with Christina and Maddy, two brand managers with Patachou, who explained the ins and outs of its nearly 30-year lifespan and got me better acquainted with the other restaurants under their brand. I'll definitely be back to Patachou in the future; its close proximity to the Downtown area combined with excellent breakfast and attentive staff is a combination that you won't find many other places.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gainbridge Fieldhouse; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Bankers Life is a premier venue in a small market, a combination that gives fans the best experience possible with each trip. Ticket prices remain low while hospitality soars beyond your expectations, assuring each fan that they will undoubtedly receive the best value for their dime.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Skyline Club - Indianapolis; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Aside from OK service, Skyline Club was a great experience for me and my dinner guests. I went in on a Friday evening for Devour Downtown and was seated very quickly by an excellent hostess, who also provided us with a fantastic table right at the window to experience the views from 36 stories up. The rest of my party arrived a bit late, but even still it took quite a while to receive food. Obviously, with a party of seven it's a bit more of a challenge to make sure food arrives promptly, but our server also forgot about a few minor details like the wine we ordered. All things being said, I'm definitely a fan of Skyline Club; the food was fantastic and the view is unbeatable. I'll be back!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Napolese Pizzeria; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Napolese was excellent, but the atmosphere was just a little too cramped for me. Serving artisanal pizza with locally-sourced ingredients is genius; downtown Indianapolis has fine dining options for nearly every other type of cuisine, but until Napolese we were sadly without a higher-class pizza establishment. There are options for all tastes; my pizza had pancetta, roasted onions, new potatoes, provolone, and goat cheese, but other menu offerings got as simple as pepperoni and sausage. Unfortunately, the dining space is very small and feels almost strip mall-ish - while the decor is very tasteful, it's hard to relax when you're seated 12 inches away from the next table. Ultimately, I'm sure I'll be back, but it won't be my go-to in the downtown area unless the dining space is expanded just a bit.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Harry & Izzy's; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Harry and Izzy's, sister restaurant of St. Elmo, is an excellent alternative to arguably Indianapolis' top steakhouse. Beyond just a larger menu offering than that of St. Elmo, Harry and Izzy's allows you to reduce the size of the hole in your wallet after dining; while you'll still be paying for a fine dining experience, the large amount of menu offerings allow you the ability to get in and out for a much cheaper price than similar dining options in the downtown area. Harry and Izzy's also offers a host of locally-sourced menu items, which they will proudly describe to you if asked. The beef comes from a farm in northern Indiana, the produce from Piazza, the bacon from Smoking Goose, and the bread from a bakery also located in northern Indiana. They certainly make an effort to know exactly where their ingredients are coming from, and servers and hostesses are knowledgeable about these locations. During my stop in Harry and Izzy's this afternoon, I started with a calamari appetizer; often, these are a dime a dozen at fine dining establishments, but Harry and Izzy's made it a very enjoyable starter. The calamari was served with a sweet chili sauce that complimented the dish well. We followed up the starter with a filet slider and a shrimp po-boy slider served with a side of fried green tomatoes. The filet slider was incredible; the meat was tender and flavorful and paired with a tangy sauce with a hint of horseradish (or perhaps I was just smelling the cocktail sauce that was waiting for me). The po-boy slider was just as delicious; the fried shrimp sat on a bed of lettuce and dill tartar and came with a side of the signature cocktail sauce. The blend of creamy tartar and the eye-watering heat of the cocktail sauce was incredible, and to be frank I could have eaten about five more sliders without growing tired. The fried green tomatoes were superb as well. We finished with a dessert; I chose the Signature Brownie (which my server informed me was voted the best dessert in Indianapolis). The brownie was topped with a scoop of fantastic vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream, with a cherry perched on the very top. It was extremely delicious, which leads me to understand why it was voted the best dessert in town. The staff at Harry and Izzy's is also great; I met with Kara Biggerstaff, the Guest Services Manager, who explained the ins and outs of Harry and Izzy's and St. Elmo as well as providing excellent recommendations on food and drinks. It's no secret why Harry and Izzy's is such an Indy favorite, and I wholeheartedly intend to send my business there in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: BRU Burger Bar - Carmel; City: Carmel, IN; Review: I'm somewhat snobby when it comes to burgers, so don't take it lightly that I'm giving Bru a four-star review. I stopped in for the late-night burger urge that we all know, but I wasn't expecting to be as impressed as I was. I had the Roma Burger, with arugula pesto, prosciutto, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, and balsamic onions, and if I would've eaten it any faster I think someone would have thought I made it disappear. Though the burger was cooked just a little more than I requested, it still was immaculate. The combination of mozzarella and red peppers is one that never gets old, and the thought to use crispy prosciutto instead of the very typical bacon was a great touch. Fries were fantastic as well. The one qualm I have is that our server was rushing us just a bit; he was a little too attentive and actually took my friends' plate before they had finished. Otherwise it was pretty hassle-free. I've got some incredibly loyalty to other Indy-area burgers, but I'm feeling like Bru might make me defect on occasion. If you haven't stopped in, give it a try very soon.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ruth's Chris Steak House; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I'm not gonna lie, I didn't have my hopes set very high when I stepped into Ruth's Chris for the first time. I'm not a huge fan of chain dining, and so a steakhouse with locations across the globe didn't sound too appealing, especially with the great local options we have here in Indianapolis. I'm happy to report, though, that I was pleasantly surprised at Ruth's Chris. The food was delicious; I had the ribeye with sauteed onions and mushrooms, as well as a Lobster Voodoo to start and a creme brulee for dessert. The meal was excellent, and if I could've fit another ounce into my stomach, I surely would have. Service was decent as well; we celebrated a friend's birthday and they brought out a free dessert as well as leaving some mardi gras beads on the table before we arrived (?). We were seated at a table for four with only two people in our party, so that was a bit odd, but I won't complain. The one tip I'd give is to encourage servers to give a little more time between courses. I was heading in with the plan of staying for a while, but felt a bit rushed to order. That's a no-no in fine dining. All-in-all, RC is a great option for people that want that familiar chain feeling. I'm sure I'll be back eventually.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Honestly, the only redeeming quality of Fogo de Chao is that it's all-you-can-eat. The meat was so far below the typical "steakhouse" threshold that it was borderline embarrassing. Servers had terrible attitudes all evening, the hostess audibly complained about her job in front of me and my guest, and the overall experience was just pathetic. I walked out disappointed and headed straight back to The Capital Grille for a palate cleanser afterwards. If you're gonna spend $60-70 on a meal, it's just absurd to consider doing it at Fogo.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Capital Grille; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I could rave and rave about The Capital Grille for hours on end, but still it would not do justice to the unfathomable dining experience you'll have when you step in the front door. Everyone knows that St. Elmo is the de facto "alpha male" when it comes to steakhouses in Indianapolis, but if more people would just be willing to break the norm and head into places like Capital Grille, they'd be pleasantly surprised. Capital Grille has an excellent menu with plenty of options (including lunch), and none of them will disappoint. With a fantastic bar selection and great bartenders as well, I've found that Capital Grille rises to the front of my mind almost every time I'm choosing a place to eat. Servers are all incredible and knowledgeable, and the management team is quick to accommodate whatever needs you may have. Come for the steaks. Stay because you've had too many Stoli Dolis to move anymore. I'll definitely be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nada; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Oh. My. Goodness. I got the privilege of visiting Nada for a pre-opening event and it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. The ambiance was incredible; loud-ish music that wasn't overpowering, incredible decor, and last but not least, amazing food. At the price point, you won't find a better option, especially with Indy's unfortunate lack of good Mexican food. Do yourself a favor and try the guacamole tasting trio and DEFINITELY get the Mexican poutine. I'm still in awe at how good it was. I got the pork belly tacos and fish tacos along with the Mex'orean fried chicken, and I'm already planning a visit back when they open officially. Go to Nada. Do it immediately. Do not wait any longer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cuban Sandwich Shop; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Mmm. Mmm mmm mmmmmm. I can't believe it's taken me this long to try Taste of Havana, but I'm so dang happy that I didn't wait any longer. Where else to start besides their signature Cuban sandwich? The pork... Oh, the pork! Such flavor. I took one bite and was just blown away. Clearly there's no coincidence involved in this establishment's #1 rating. I did, in fact, have the sudden urge to salsa dance and smoke a cigar. I did, in fact, start planning my trip to Cuba. I did, in fact, text all my friends and tell them to hurry in and try it for themselves. Taste of Havana is a true gem. If you haven't gone, salsa dance your way on over to Broad Ripple and stop in for a bite.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Leonardo's Mexican Food; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: 24-hour drive-through Mexican food. Do I need to say anything else? Leonardo's is incredible. The food isn't amazing, the atmosphere isn't amazing, the service isn't amazing, and yet somehow the whole experience still IS amazing. Is there truly a better feeling than knowing at any ungodly time of night that you can have some hot Mexican food? The correct answer is "no."

Title: Steelheart (The Reckoners); Author: Visit Amazon's Brandon Sanderson Page; Review: Brandon Sanderson has recently become one of my favorite authors, with the talent and skill of Robert Jordan, George RR Martin, Tolkien, and others showing throughout his completion of The Wheel of Time, his Mistborn Series, and his Stormlight Archives series, as well as others. This book trades Sanderson's normal setting of epic fantasies in different worlds, for the familiar yet strange world of a future Chicago where random people receive strange powers and proceed to use them to destroy the lives of others. This book uses a familiar formula, but contains enough within it that is unique to really give the reader a sense of reading something new, the twists are mostly unexpected and exciting, and the action is constant and fun to read. Overall, it is a really great book for any age, but would be great for any young reader interested in SciFi or Fantasy. It reads almost like The Hunger Games or any other popular youth books, but with the style, clarity, and overall greatness that comes with any Brandon Sanderson story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Strangers to these Shores, Census Update Plus MySocLab with eText -- Access Card Package (10th Edition); Author: Visit Amazon's Vincent N. Parrillo Page; Review: What can I say.

The issues discussed didn't seem overly politicized, which is impressive given the subject matter.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: ESV New Classic Reference Bible (Black); Author: ESV Bibles by Crossway; Review: Great Bible. It is smaller than I thought it would be, but I'm young and my eyes are still working alright, so I'm not too disappointed. This would be a great Christmas present (since I'm writing this in December), or a great present for any other occasion. I really like the ESV translation. The product itself feels really good. The pages are nice and crisp, and the "leather" front and back cover feel nice to the touch. Overall it is a great product and I couldn't be happier.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach; City: Cambria San Luis Obispo County California; Review: Unfortunately we only stayed the night on our way travelling from San Francisco on our way to LA. The staff at the Fireside in were all very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were large enough for the family and I. The hotel is in a perfect location on the coast with awesome sunset views.

The hotel was in a good location, just a short walk to the marina or a short walk to downtown where there were plenty of restaurants and shopping. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I didn't try the breakfast but there is a great cafe right next door.and the city center is only a 10min walk. I stayed here with the family and while we were only here for one night I would stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Casa Ordonez; City: Cuenca Azuay Province; Review: This is a lovely hotel, family owned and operated, in a wonderful central location in Cuenca. There are only 10 rooms in this converted house built in 1906 for Sr. Ordonez. The center of the hotel is a skylight, and the rooms circle the perimeter. There is so much warmth and history in this hotel, that is easily bypassed as you walk down the street. But the staff become a part of your family, or perhaps you become part of their familias. A full breakfast is served every morning which is included in the rate. Fresh fruit, yogurt, coffee, toast and eggs as you like them. The owners and staff go out of their way to make your stay memorable. I just cannot say enough.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hostal Murali; City: Guayaquil Guayas Province; Review: I cannot think of anything good to say about this hotel. It is filthy, and I´m afraid to get into the bed for fear of catching something. I´ll sleep on top of the sheets. I am sitting in my room hungry, as there is nothing to eat here or near by. The tub has hairs in it from a previous guest ( I think) and when my wife told the front desk clerk, he looked at her funny and asked if she wanted him to clean it. He didn´t, and the hair is still there. On top of everything else, the people across the street are playing their music at a minimum of 120 decibles, and the front desk clerk just shrugged and said, ¨"So?". Save your money and sleep on the street, You´ll save the room rate.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hostal The Sea Garden House; City: Olon Santa Elena Province; Review: My wife and I stayed at The Sea Garden last week, and had an amazing time. When we first arrived, only the housekeeper and fix-it person were there, due to a family emergency, so there was a bit of confusion with out reservation that left us a bit perplexed and thinking about changing hotels. But a few hours later, Rodolfo and Maria arrived, and everything was sorted. We were given our choice of any room available. We chose the 2nd floor room in the other building and after our time there, were glad that we stayed. Clean rooms with fantastic views of the ocean; steps to the beach without having to dodge cars, plus incredible meals. On our second day, I was laying in one of many hammocks on the property, when a local fisherman came with 2 Snook he had just caught. Rodolfo bought them both, plus some fresh calamari from another fisherman. He cooked an wonderful meal for lunch that exceeded any other meal we had that week. Olon is a sleepy village 3 Km. from Montanita. The beach is quiet, clean, and unspoiled by properties and commercial buildings. It kind of looks like Malibu with cliffs on either direction. Montanita is only a $1.50 cab ride of a $.40 bus. Lots of surfer types and life until late at night; but we had dinner and took a cab back. Olon is very safe, and walking around is no problem at all. We will come back to The Sea Garden many times in the future as this will be our beach getaway.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gran Hotel de Merida; City: Merida Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We really enjoyed this simple, but elegant hotel in a perfect location to visit Merida for a few days. Steps away from everything, so the need for a car is very low. But this hotel is the oldest hotel in Merida. We had a comfortable king sized bed, a shower with hot water, and a cold refrigerator. I guess that the only complaint that I could possibly have is that there are no English language channels on the TV. The staff was friendly, courteous and very helpful.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge by Wyndham Kalispell; City: Kalispell Montana; Review: My wife and I chose this property strictly by price. We knew we would check in, return around 9 PM after walking around Whitefish and having dinner, then check out early the next morning. The first room that we were given was filthy. Stains ( afraid to ask what kind of stains) on the bed cover and dust on all of the furniture. Somebody had written DUST on the top of the dresser!! So it wasn't wiped down. We called the front desk and the manager came right up and apologized, and told us that they were having house keeping problems. After showing my wife a few more rooms, all unacceptable, we were given an "upgraded" room. It was all right. The bed was comfortable and the television had a full array of stations. It's an old property, so keep that in mind. The only other issue was when I took a morning shower, there was hair in the drain that didn't belong to either of us. Breakfast was adequate and included. Bagels, muffins, waffles, boiled eggs, etc. For a one night stay it was all right. I wouldn't stay longer.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

The flowering shrubs around the restaurant are a magnet for butterflies. Each afternoon we would see Scarlet Macaws returning from their feeding grounds in Carara NP, to the mangroves. And Carara NP is well worth the visit, as are the drier rainforest areas to the north. We had an excellent bird guide for our first 2 days at Cerro Lodge and notched up 140 species there, at Carara NP, the Tarcoles River and surrounding country. I would suggest to owner Federico that he could plant more local Costa Rican species in the gardens rather than the commonly sold nursery favourites. This would attract even more native birds. So thanks to Federico and staff for making our stay so enjoyable; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vida Tropical B and B; City: Alajuela Province of Alajuela; Review: We enjoyed our stays here in May (3 nights), June (1 night) and July(2 nights). It is conveniently located near the international airport, the manager Isabel and other staff are helpful and friendly and the rooms are very well appointed for the price. Isabel and her husband Norman who runs a nearby restaurant, speak excellent English. We enjoyed many conversations with them. Ask for a room which doesn't face the street as it can be noisy, but this seems the norm for any accommodation in built up areas in Costa Rica.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cino Fabiani Guesthouse; City: Guayaquil Guayas Province; Review: We stayed at Arnaldo's guesthouse for 2 nights after a long flight from Australia. The lodgings are perfectly located in the historic and relatively safe Las Penas district with cobblestone street and close to the Malecon. Arnaldo is an interesting and very hospitable host who speaks almost perfect English and with whom we shared great conversation. He is a patron of the performing arts and hosts theatrical productions in his premises including Harold Pinter plays! We were so fortunate to have the company of such an intelligent and creative person during our first few days in Ecuador and would highly recommend this guesthouse. Thankyou Arnaldo!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casa Helbling; City: Quito Pichincha Province; Review: Casa Helbling was all that I needed for my 2 nights in Quito. The staff were funny and friendly, the rooms clean and relatively quiet and the layout of the hotel quirky and interesting. A kitchen is provided but you can pay extra for breakfast. There are many balconies on which to sit and view the surrounding city. Many restaurants are close by. The place felt very secure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hosteria La Roulotte; City: Mindo Pichincha Province; Review: My friends and I only had lunch here, but what a lunch!. Beautiful food, and service from the lovely manager and great views of hummingbird and banana feeders which were abuzz with birds including aracari and red-headed barbet.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hacienda San Vicente; City: Mindo Pichincha Province; Review: 2 friends and I spent 10 days staying in the River cabin at the Yellow House. It was a wonderful period enjoying the verdant gardens with ponds, plentiful birds and forest trails. The Garzon family sisters were extremely welcoming and helpful. We don't look for luxury but want cleanliness, relative peace and quiet, a working shower and comfortable bed, and all these ingredients are available here. We paid an extra $5 for breakfast at the main house dining room overlooking the hummingbird feeders and lovely Mindo valley below. We generally had lunch in the town and cooked our dinners in the kitchen of the cabin. Great value for money! As an avid bird watcher, Mindo and surrounding areas provide a wealth of birding opportunities due to the range of altitudes and forest types. There are numerous private reserves offering forest trails and most have hummingbird and banana feeders which attract a host of beautiful birds. We hired an excellent bird guide, Julia Patino, on 2 separate days, at very reasonale cost. I particularly recommend Mindo Lindo, Pachaquindi, Refugio Paz de las Aves (for Cock of the Rock and Antpittas), and Milpe and Rio Silanche reserves run by the Mindo Cloud Forest Foundation. The banana feeders at Milpe had Aracari, Choco Toucan and Rufous Motmot in addition to many tanagers. And for a delightful lunch and where you can sit and watch many hummingbirds, tanagers, red-headed barbet and the pale-mandibled Aracari go to the La Roulotte restaurant. Be aware that the forest trails at the Yellow House are a 40 minute walk uphill through pleasant agricultural land but many birds can often be seen on the way. Finally Mindo at this time of year has a perfect climate, with occasional showers keeping everything green, many sunny breaks and perfect temperatures foor outdoor activities.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Knotts Crossing Resort; City: Katherine Top End Northern Territory; Review: My wife and I stayed 2 nights at this 'resort' while we canoed in the beautiful Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk NP. We hired a self-contained cabin with private bathroom (located outside but that was OK). Comfortable and clean enough but buildings becoming run-down, and what irked me the most was having to pay $6 for an hour's Wifi! I've stayed in much cheaper places in Costa Rica and Ecuador where Wifi was free. Fortunately our cabin (308) was well away from the restaurant air conditioner which seemed noisy.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: El Condado Miraflores Hotel Suites; City: Lima Lima Region; Review: I enjoyed my stay at the El Condado and came back several times. As a solo backpacker, I felt like I needed a clean, safe and comfortable place to base myself in Lima, and this hotel worked out perfectly. Whether I just flew into Peru or was burnt out on cheapo hotels, this place was the right medicine for me. The staff got to recognize me (hi Roxanne) from my comings and goings, and treated me well and gave me a good rate when I walked up. Yeah, the decor is a little kitsch, but if you want the Marriott, it's just down the road at three or four times the price.

All the signage for it (like elsewhere in Pisco) is flush with the building, so you could easily walk right by and miss it. Luckily someone was bright enough to paint a sign on the telephone pole in front of the place, so I found it without too much grief. Not a whole lot of English was spoken, but the staff seemed kind and helpful enough. The room was pleasant and clean and the breakfast was decent, although unsurprisingly unspectacular. I used the inhouse tour service for the trip to Paracas and found it only a moderate value. If I had any complaints at all about the hotel, it would be that the guests were a very Lonely Planet crowd, which can be a drag if you'd rather mix with a wider variety like me. This isn't the fault of the hotel though, and was only a minor disappointment to my overall pleasant experience.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Dann Carlton Belfort; City: Medellin Antioquia Department; Review: I'm not sure this place is the best value for the money. It looks to be a four star hotel from about ten years ago. The rooms are starting to show some serious wear and could really use a remodel. That being said, the place was nice, the staff was friendly and helpful, the pool is great except it isnt deep enough and I felt very comfortable there. The breakfast buffet was pretty generous. There may be better values in Medellin, but this hotel is a fine place to stay and you probably will not be disappointed with the quality of it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Decameron Cartagena; City: Cartagena Cartagena District Bolivar Department; Review: I usually do not write negative reviews of hotels, but this place was really an exception. First of all, let me say this hotel is for families on vacation. Therefore, if you are an independent traveler and you get your kicks by standing in line with impatient children or holidaying extended families who scream at each other, this is the place for you. Otherwise you are going to feel out of place. The first room I got was filthy. There was hair everywhere, the paint was old, the bed was hard, there was no remote for the TV (you have to beg the front desk for it), no towels in the bathroom save one small one. I complained and got moved the next day to a slightly better room, but it had many of the same problems as the first. These included air conditioning that never turned off nor could be adjusted short of opening the window, fithly windows, musty smells and on and on. The hotel forces all guest to wear hospital like wrist bands, and god forbid if they catch you without it. They read you the riot act. There are four elevators, two of which stop only at even floors, two of which stop only at odd floors. Of course, I had even floor rooms and one of the even floor elevators was down. Even without, the wait for an elevator to anywhere was a long, long, long one. My advice is to splurge on a nice hotel if you must stay on Bocagrande, or otherwise take a cheaper two or three star place in the city. This hotel advertises as three or four stars, but it is really only two stars. If that.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: DM Hoteles Nasca; City: Nazca Ica Region; Review: This place was nice enough for a couple nights and an attack on the Nasca Lines. It is quite comfortable, the staff is very pleasant and it is in a central location, although there really isn't much to do in the city itself. The place was great for me, an independent traveler looking for a decent place to recover after taking a string of cheaper, more challenging hotels. But this is also completely fine for families as well, being very quiet with a beautiful pool and courtyard. Breakfast was slightly better than typical Peruvian scrawny.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Del Pilar Miraflores Hotel; City: Lima Lima Region; Review: This isn't a bad place to stay, particularly if location, location, location are your top three priorities. This place is located just off of Kennedy Park in Miraflores (keep that in mind to tell the taxi driver), right in the heart of things of a safe area and close to Pizza Alley, where there is a little nightlife and decent eats to be had. The problem is that it is really overpriced for what it is, a well worn three star hotel. The staff is indifferent, although not unkind. The rooms are in definite need of a renovation, I had a plumbing problem in my first room. This hotel is docked one star in my book for charging my credit card in dollars and setting their own (lousy) exchange rate. I've docked myself one star as well, for being stupid enough to let them do it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Tupac Yupanqui Hotel; City: Cusco Cusco Region; Review: I tend not to book ahead when I travel, so I when my targeted hotel was booked, I ended up here. This place wasn't bad, and I don't think I've stayed in a similar place before or since. I'd call this a three star hotel, so there may or may not be better deals out there. My room was facing the internal courtyard, and with a couple of yahoos drinking and yakking all night, it was plenty loud. It got mighty cold during the night, even with the space heater provided cranked up, and hot water from the shower was hit or miss. Despite all of this, the place was clean, comfortable and friendly. I'm not sure I could have done any better in Cusco. I would probably return there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Royal Plaza on Scotts; City: Singapore; Review: Wow, this hotel is a top notch place. I felt comfortable and well taken care of when staying here. Of course, being a top notch place you are paying for it all. Honestly I don't know if I could afford to return, but if I found a good deal I would certainly make this place my first choice in the Orchard Road area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Centro Hotel; City: Cartagena Cartagena District Bolivar Department; Review: I made the mistake of staying in Bocagrande to begin with, but moved here after a few days. This place came as a welcomed relief as it is much more like the places I choose to stay in as an independent traveler. It's got character, it's central, and it puts me closer to the locals. The staff was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. I was glad to be here and would probably return. As to the negative review previously posted, yes English abilities are limited, just like everywhere else in Colombia. What are you doing in Colombia if you are not willing to work with the language barrier? Indeed it is somewhat over priced, and it really is only a good two star hotel, but all of Colombia, particularly Bogota and Cartagena are relatively expensive. If you really want to pay, go to Bocagrande with the package tourists and rich Colombian families. This is a fine place to stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Kuala Lumpur; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: This is an excellent hotel in a very good location in KL. KL isn't the most exciting city to visit, but the Westin does what it can to help the case by having great facilities, including a couple of top notch bars/restaurants. The pool looked great, but it was so swank I felt too self conscious to use it! I don't know that I'll ever be in KL again, but I would certainly make the Westin my first choice if I am.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Landmark Bangkok; City: Bangkok; Review: I really liked this hotel, and the staff were fine. The location is great and the rooms are nice. A couple of thoughts: They offered the upgrade, which appeared to be so unworthy of the cost it made me laugh. It wasn't the salesmenship that was off, it was the idea of paying USD50 for breakfast for two in Bangkok that struck me as silly. Second, I booked through an online travel agent twice and got a much nicer room than when I made a reservation with them directly, for roughly the same price, after their "++" charges (service charges). It could have been the luck of the draw, I suppose, but I would book online next time, for the full disclosure of costs and for the nicer rooms I had.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Harbour Grand Hong Kong; City: Hong Kong; Review: This is great hotel. The lobby is quite grand, and the staff very friendly and helpful. The view was great, and having the MRT just a couple of blocks away made getting anywhere pretty easy. I felt comfortable in the neighborhood (didn't think it was that bad) and would return again if I had the opportunity.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel El Tumi Huaraz; City: Huaraz Ancash Region; Review: El Tumi is not a bad hotel at all. It's fairly well located in a very scenic city. I thought my room was a little cramped, but I felt very comfortable and enjoyed my stay there. The staff were very kind and the restaurant was decent.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pullman Hotel; City: Trujillo La Libertad Region; Review: This isn't a terrible place to stay, but perhaps my hopes were too high for it. My guidebook spoke highly of the hotel, but I wonder if it was the same place. This place is fairly tired, dirty and run down. The staff and the food were nice, but I really had hopes of a cleaner, more cheery place. Instead I found a room with pink walls (never a good sign), skimpy towels and creaky everything else. If you are good with two stars, this place probably won't seem so bad. If you are looking for something nice, go elsewhere.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Villa Santi Hotel; City: Luang Prabang Luang Prabang Province; Review: I was looking for a 'nice' place to stay in Luang Prabang, and felt very comfortable here. The staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful. I stayed in the annex, around the corner from the main hotel, which was quiet and private. Although this place is hardly a bargain, it certainly met my expectations for a nice, roomy place to stay with all of the in-room comforts I could want. As a side note, I did not eat in the restaurant, but I must say I did not seem to do well with the food in Laos in general or Luang Prabang in particular. Reviews that mark an establishment down for expensive and poor quality food seem to assume there is better available. On the whole, I found Lao food particularly expensive and a notch or two below the quality I routinely get in Thailand. This seemed to be true of both the finer restaurants and eating on the streets where the locals eat.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lao Plaza Hotel; City: Vientiane Vientiane Prefecture; Review: Picking a hotel is always a tradeoff. While in Vientiane I tried to upgrade myself because I'd slept pretty rough elsewhere on the trip through the Laotian hinterlands. I chose the Lao Plaza, and while it didn't disappoint, it certainly didn't dazzle me either. It is frightfully expensive for Laos, while just barely meeting four star expectations. Only the breakfast stands out in my memory as being pretty good. This place is really set up for the business set and not for leisure travelers on any sort of a budget, so unless your employer is paying the bill, save a few kip and stay somewhere else that offers more charm, even if it offers fewer frills.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Thaveesinh Hotel; City: Huay Xai Bokeo Province; Review: This place isn't much, so don't get your expectations up--your alternatives are probably no better. This is a lousy hotel in a lousy town. Chances are you aren't going to be here to do much other than eat and sleep and move along, and this hotel will get you through it, safely at least. Make your standards elastic, keep a good attitude and you'll get through it, as you will other budget hotels in Laos. Good luck.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Raming Lodge Hotel Spa; City: Chiang Mai; Review: This place was highly rated in my guidebook, so I gave it a shot. It was clean and comfortable, and for the most part the staff tripped over themselves to be helpful to me. The room was a little tired and dark though, and not all that comfortable. The breakfast was pretty good, and the hotel is centrally located. Even with the drawbacks, the place was a pleasant stay, if overpriced.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Casamara; City: Kandy Kandy District Central Province; Review: This place is no four star hotel, it's a two star, but it's a decent and comfortable two star option. I don't think there's a better centrally located hotel, the rooms are comfortable and decent and are generally well maintained. I'd be happy to return if I were to go to Kandy again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Paradise Holiday Village; City: Negombo Western Province; Review: This place is particularly eccentric as far as hotels are concerned. The apartments in the back are all different as far as I can tell. I sort of felt like I was staying in my grandmother's 1950 bungalow. There is a great pool, a decent restaurant and plenty of space to move around, both inside and outside the rooms. My apartment had a kitchentte. If you are looking for top quality, you should go somewhere else. This place is kind of a fun budget option with plenty of character.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Saikaew Villa; City: Ko Samet Rayong Province; Review: This place is right on the beach, but so are dozens of other hotels on Ko Samet. It's painfully expensive for what it is, and not terriblely comfortable. Most of the rooms seem to lack King beds. Does anyone besides your grandparents sleep in twin beds these days? I can't think of one compelling reason to return to this place, or one reason to recommend it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Colombo; City: Colombo Western Province; Review: This place has got to be one of the biggest letdowns I've ever experienced. It's a nice hotel...for 1983. The rooms are badly outdated and it seems like corners are cut when you'd least expect them, for example you have to call and beg for a shaving kit or a toothbrush and toothpaste. On the plus side the restaurants are nice, the food is good and the staff are generally polite and helpful. But given the extremely high cost of this joint and the very mediocre quality of the rooms, it's hard to imagine a worse value for your travel dollar. Skip it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: LK Residence; City: Pattaya Chonburi Province; Review: Given your choices in Pattaya, this is not a really bad place. It's well located, the lobby and the pool are quite nice and the rooms are decent. The staff is generally friendly. And surprise, the minibar isn't outrageously expensive. You could definitely find a worse value for your baht. But this is why the LK can't be anything other than average in my book: The place, by virture of its location, is always noisy. You've got to bring your earplugs if you turn in before 2am, period. I know it's Pattaya, but you can find a quieter hotel of similar value. The rooms are in need of maintenance (paint, grouting, upholstery, etc.). The breakfast is an 'order off the menu' place of spectacularly mediocre possibilities. Finally, I extended my stay a day, but the front desk wouldn't hear of giving me my pre-booked rate on the additional day, and charged me the full walk-in rate--which is the fastest way I can think of for a hotel to prevent me from recommending them. Give another three or four star hotel in the area a chance before trying this one.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bougainvillier Hotel; City: Phnom Penh; Review: This is well located place, close to good nightlife and dining options. My room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was generally cheerful and helpful. The breakfast was decent and the dining room was very comfortable. I don't feel like it was particularly a good value, though, and the slog up to the third floor (elevator under construction) was tough after a day out in the heat. I would recommend this place, however, based on the good location.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Charoen Thani Khon Kaen; City: Khon Kaen Khon Kaen Province; Review: I was completely comfortable in this hotel, but your mileage may vary. The room was pretty narrow and also pretty well worn. On the upside, there are plenty of eating and drinking possibilities in around the hotel, the place is well located near the air con bus station and shopping, and the staff are always polite and helpful. You could probably do nearly as well in a less expensive place, but I felt OK here and would consider returning if circumstances permitted.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tranquility Guesthouse; City: Sihanoukville Sihanoukville Province; Review: This is a decent place to stay but by no means did they knock my socks off. There is free wi-fi, but you've got to be in the restaurant or bar to use it I think, as I couldn't get a signal in my room. My room was generally decent but took forever to cool down, and the water was off and on at times (but this is Cambodia, after all). The restaurantwas good, with some nice pastry options for dessert, and the location is great, on the quiet end of Serendipity Beach, not too far down. I don't have any major axe to grind with this place, but if I were back in Sihanoukville I would just as soon try a new place to see if there was something better I might like--new furniture, lower price, better wi-fi or something.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ramada Xian Bell Tower; City: Xi an Shaanxi; Review: Well, this hotel tries to be nice. All of the ideas are there for a four star place, but it just doesn't quite get there. All of the tempered reviews earlier seem to be on target. It's rather noisy, the room I had was terribly dark, it's tough to get a taxi and so on. On top of that, the room I had, had a really odd design where the shower and toilet seem to have been retrofitted on opposite sides of the room and then glassed in with frosted glass. There is no 'bathroom' per se. I was OK with this set up, but others may find it a little strange. This is Xi'an, not New York, Rome or even Beijing. Staff struggles with English, international travelers are somewhat of a rarity and transportation can be a challenge. All of this being said, the Xi'an Ramada isn't a bad place, and if your expectations are flexible, you probably won't be disappointed. If you must have four or five star treatment, you should be willing to spend the money and look elsewhere.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: JinJiang Metropolo Classiq Hotel Shanghai Bund Circle; City: Shanghai; Review: With a name like Metropole you'd expect something out of the old film Metropolis, and by God, this place came pretty close. Art Deco lobby, Blade Runner views and the Chinese Fritz Lang wandering the halls. I had a deluxe room on a higher floor. The retrofitted bathroom was kind of funky and somewhat impacted the view, but if I wanted 'normal' I would have stayed at The Westin or something. The only downside I can think of is that the restaurant wasn't really up to snuff. Outside of the big hotels, breakfast buffets are usually a miss anyway, and this one is really a miss. Dinner wasn't particularly good (or a good value) either. Skip the restaurant and try one of the millions of other places in the neighborhood.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Yanggakdo Hotel; City: Pyongyang; Review: First of all, anyone that gives this place four seriously needs their head examined or needs to ask the Central Committee for North Korean Tourism for a raise. This place is well worn, and outside of the lobby, needed a makeover in 1993. The carpets are threadbare, the curtains are worn and the furniture is beat up. But no one goes to North Korea for the glamorous hotels and nice fixtures. The fact is that you'll be well taken care of in this hotel. There is soap in the bathroom, decent towels, extra blankets and if you forget your hair brush, they've got you covered. If you need something, you can ask for it and chances are you're going to get it here. You're also going to get your leg pulled in ways you never imagined in North Korea. It's surreal and kinda fun if you are up for it, and this hotel is the first place you'll notice it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Novotel Beijing Peace; City: Beijing; Review: I was sent to the 'west wing' or the 'west building', which I suspect was the old part of the hotel. If that's not correct, I'm amazed at where the four and five star reviews are coming from, because there is little justification for that based on my experiece. I am far from a stickler about such things, but the carpets were badly outdated and rather tasteless. The furniture, while in decent shape, had a really old look to it that just didn't seem to match the price range of the hotel. All of this would have been fine if my expectations hadn't been commeasurate with how much I paid. For only a few more dollars a night I'm sure I could have had something of higher quality in the same neighborhood. I left a candy wrapper in the garbage can (which I bought outside the hotel) and had to have a discussion about it not coming from the minibar and not paying 30 RMB for it at checkout As a side note, avoid the lobby bar. I blindly ordered a can of Coke and paid 32 RMB for it, or more than USD $5. With bar prices like that, I can't help but think the hotel has a certain amount of contempt for its guests.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Fariyas Hotel Mumbai; City: Mumbai Maharashtra; Review: The only reason I can think of to make this hotel a four is the staff, who were unfailingly kind and helpful. The hotel does have its charm, and the breakfast buffet wasn't bad either. But the furniture was kind of tired, the bed was rather hard and I just didn't find it to be the nice hotel I expected it to be. On the other hand, I am not familiar with other options in Mumbai, so this could very well account for the higher marks of other reviews. Still, I would not recommend to have your expectations too high when booking this place.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Tarika s Sea Breeze; City: Varca South Goa District Goa; Review: I ended up here largely because it was on a certain website's (that starts with AG) push list. I'll never let them pick a hotel for me again. This place was probably nice when it was first built. But oh, how bad it is now. The pool was green and looked like a koi pond, with bird droppings all around it. The grounds were not trimmed and maintained. Wi fi is only good if you sit in the reception. Housekeeping, soap, shampoo, etc. were hit and miss. Lights were burned out. Floors badly needed mopping. The breakfast was awful, boiled potatoes, baked beans, stir fried chicken bits. No Indian food, which kind of makes sense because the clients here are overwhelmingly Russian. Evenings featured Russian dance videos and karaoke by the poolside/koi pond. There are no real services near this hotel and for transportation your choice is the local taxi mafia or renting your own moto. The beach, which is a very quiet section without any activity, is a long walk away. The staff is nice, but extremely laid back.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Hari Piorko; City: New Delhi National Capital Territory of Delhi; Review: Maybe I had a bad room. My room had: No windows, a small TV half a world away from the bed and a dead remote, a bathroom that threatened you for flushing paper down the bog, a bed largely made of plywood, a fish tank with starving fish and very few outlets for the inconsistent wi fi. The staff were indeed all nice guys. Perhaps this place is a great value for the (very little) money that was charged, but I can't think of another compelling reason to recommend this joint when there are 900 other options to try in Pahar Ganj.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Rory Ryan Inns; City: Hines Oregon; Review: This is a fine place to stop after a long day of driving. I'm not sure it's your best value around Burns, but it certainly was comfortable, clean and friendly. The pool is nice and the rooms are (perhaps unsurprisingly) quiet. To survive in this part of the world, you would need a zillion television stations on a decent screen, which is what you'll find in your room.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Safari Inn Downtown; City: Boise Idaho; Review: This is a nice place to stay that is well located downtown. As such, the price is probably right too. It would have been nice to have a TV less than fifteen years old, but I suppose that's nit picking. The staff was fine, the pool a bit small but was certainly deep enough. I would recommend this place if you are shopping for something downtown.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Villa del Angel Hotel; City: San Salvador San Salvador Department; Review: This is a nice botique place to land in San Salvador. The neighborhood is pleasant and safe and the staff of the hotel are exception nice, friendly and welcoming. An upscale shopping mall is a (safe) block's walk away and the rooms located away from the residential street are quiet. I recommend asking specifically for a quiet room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Hotel Managua; City: Managua Managua Department; Review: I chose this hotel primarily based on its location. I was arriving at night on a long distance bus and it is located in the heart of the city a couple of blocks from the King Quality office in Managua. While spacious and perfectly functional, my room was pretty tired, with stains on the carpet and some downright dangerous wrinkles in them. The reception on the TV was poor, probably having to do with the cable being spliced too many times. Given what I paid, I can't say that I felt like it was a good value at all. If I had gotten a bargain on the room, I might have a different opinion. There was a problem with the billing on my credit card, and God knows what it's going to look like when my statement arrives. On the positive side, the hotel breakfast was excellent, and the staff generally nice and helpful. This is the only place I've ever stayed in Managua, so I'm not sure if there are better options for a business class hotel. If there are, I would certainly try other options next time I am in town.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Casazul; City: Flores Peten Department; Review: This is far from a four star hotel, but the place is clean, comfortable and friendly. My room had a great view of the lake and I wish I'd had more time in Casazul to appreciate it. I had plenty of space and found the room to be exceptionally quiet, the a/c easily adjustable and the beds comfortable. There is always a way to nitpick at these small hotels, but I would definitely stay at this hotel again and perhaps even stay an extra day just to appreciate Flores, rather than just using it as a quick base to explore Tikal.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Howard Johnson Inn Guatemala City; City: Guatemala City Guatemala Department; Review: This is the first time I've stayed at any HoJo's and I had a very pleasant experience. They staff were great and bent over backwards for me. The rooms were stylish and comfortable, the breakfast pleasant, if not generous. I stayed twice. The first room I had was nicer, but was smaller to the point of being a bit cramped. I missed having space in the bathroom to put my toiletries, for example. The first room was also a bit noisier as it was facing the busy Avenida Reforma. The second room was much more spacious and quiet, but lacked any serious windows, so I highly recommend you let them know your preferences when you check in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Allium Tangerang Hotel; City: Tangerang Banten Province Java; Review: OK, the first thing you need to know is that this hotel is in Tangerang. You've surely read that Jakarta traffic is a nightmare, and Tangerang is a suburb with its own serious traffic problems. Unlike a lot of better known airport hotels, four out of four taxi drivers I had in Jakarta had one hell of a time finding this place, even with an address and phone number. Tangerang traffic is difficult to manage, particularly when coming to and from the airport. At 4am it took me more than 40 minutes to get from the door of the hotel to the international terminal--with minimal traffic, just because of the circuitous route it takes to get around Tangerang. While the lobby and restaurant/bar/cafe are cathedral spacious and modern, everything is clean and the staff is friendly, the rooms are completely soulless and lacking any design or much decor and character. White walls abound. If you are just passing through, its no big deal, but there must be other options out there that are better than this. If I had reason to specifically be in Tangerang (as opposed to getting to the airport), I suppose this hotel would be OK. If I wanted to stay near the airport, I'd pick another hotel that had a big name or was obviously located that any local driver is going to know...or better yet, I would just stay in Jakarta proper and budget my time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Oasis Kuta; City: Kuta Kuta District Bali; Review: I'm sort of surprised to see all of the value comments here. Perhaps because I didn't make a reservation I overpaid. The staff were nice, as one might expect, and the off beach location isn't bad. Aside from a chorus of frogs that come eerily alive in the evening (and, just in case you are curious, help themselves to that nice pool that everyone mentions here), the hotel is really pretty quiet. The room I had was pretty dark, and the absence of paint, as opposed to whitewashed wood, made the room feel cheaper and less comfy than it might have felt otherwise. I like a place to sit and write and this room didn't really have a decent desk and chair for that purpose. The toilet had a terrible smell to it that never went away, despite plenty of air freshener provided. The shower was the standard wall and floor drain thing you find in cheaper Asian hotels. If this sounds too picky to you, then you very well might be happy here. Give it a try. My guess is that there are other places that are a better value, so I'll look elsewhere next time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Prama Sanur Beach Bali; City: Sanur Denpasar Bali; Review: I was handed off here from my 'friends' at the Mercure Sanur next door because they are overbooked. If you're considering the Mercure Sanur against this hotel, forget the Mercure all together. Because I didn't choose this hotel, I feel obligated to be flexible in my observations. That the room I ended up in was badly worn out and cramped is undeniable. No doubt the hotel plans renovations someday, but I had hoped for higher quality room in Sanur and this room just wasn't as nice as I had hoped, with moldy grouting, chipped and scraped wooden furniture and no proper desk and chair where I could write comfortably. Sanur itself is a bit of a snooze as well. There is some shopping, but if you want any nightlife at all you're far better off heading somewhere else and fighting the crowds. On the plus side, the expansive grounds are well maintained, the place is right on the beach, the breakfast buffet wasn't bad and the staff were as incredibly accommodating and friendly to a guest that was admittedly unhappy (Thanks again Mercure Sanur) before they had a chance to prove themselves. If you want a quiet place and perhaps if you reserve one of their higher end rooms, you stand a very good chance of having an enjoyable stay at the Prama.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sylvia Hotel; City: Maumere Flores East Nusa Tenggara; Review: As much as I would like to give this hotel a 4 rating, I can't seem to justify it. I'm not sure how you could do better in Maumere, but that doesn't mean this place couldn't improve. The rooms are a big and comfortable enough and the staff is nice and helpful. Usually there is someone around who speaks English if you are in trouble. I guess the big problem here is that even though I understand the building is recent construction, it really, really, really looks like it was built on the cheap. If the building is ten years old, it looks twenty. I really fear what it will look like in five years' time. Internet is in the lobby only.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Wailiti; City: Maumere Flores East Nusa Tenggara; Review: Well...what to say about this place. The fact that the staff would probably split their heads open for you, if you asked, must figure in somewhere. These have got to be the nicest staff I've run across, in a country where nice staff is a rule. Most of them don't speak much English, so for God's sake, be patient with them and you'll be rewarded. The rooms are hit and miss, as are other guests. The best I could tell I was usually alone there most of the time, except on Sunday when middle class locals descended on the pool like journalists reaching for the free lobster at a press conference. The A/C in the first bungalow I had didn't have any air conditioning. I eventually got moved, and the TV didn't work in the second. I could live with that, and let it go, but if your expectations are high with this place, you will be disappointed, I promise. The key point here is--why are you considering this property? It is way, way, way out of town, so you'd better be OK with taking bemos and ojeks into town and back. The price might be right and there is plenty of quiet to go around. Otherwise you're surely going to get bored. Right now (January 2015) there is a major construction project going on to improve the beach. When it is done, it may a better value. As it stands, it might be worthwhile looking at somewhere with a better beach or otherwise in town.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Park Plaza Wangfujing; City: Beijing; Review: This is a very nice place, and if you are looking for a four star near a metro station, this is a good option. It is set back from the street, so if you are looking for it, don't be shy about asking the concierge at a neighboring property where it is, exactly. I feel I got exactly what I paid for at this hotel. In other words, I paid a lot and I got a comfortable room with nice staff and a great location. What I didn't get was overly impressed: I thought the breakfast buffet was uncreative and rather bland, considering their local competition. I wasn't overwhelmed with the customer service, it was just adequate. I had to pay extra for a wifi connection (this always bugs me, but maybe it's just me). Bottom line, if you get a great deal on a room here, that includes all the extra stuff you need (for example, breakfast and internet connection), you'll really like this hotel. If you pay a lot like I did, you'll walk away ready to try somewhere else next time to feel more satisfied with your stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ramada Plaza Zhengzhou; City: Zhengzhou Henan; Review: This hotel was probably pretty nice when it first opened, I'm guessing ten years ago. Unfortunately, the hotel common areas are in bad need of some maintenance and updating. The carpet is beginning to wrinkle in some areas, which can be downright dangerous. The rooms are rather tired, the grouting is getting moldy and there is a vague smell of smoke in the rooms. I would rank this 3/5, but I think I pay more because of the international brand name, and therefore expect more. On the bright side, the staff is nice and helpful and the neighborhood appears to have many interesting opportunities for eating, drinking and perhaps some nightlife.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Furama Hotel Hunan; City: Changsha Hunan; Review: This hotel is a nice place situated within walking distance from the rail station. The breakfast buffet was pretty good, by non-international hotel Chinese standards. The rooms were comfortable, although the corridors smelled of smoke (my room did not). The staff have very limited English, so be prepared to bring your patience. If you come here and you are disappointed, what are you doing in Changsha, China?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Leisure Hotel; City: Zhuhai Guangdong; Review: This is a very nice, comfortable hotel that is worth the going rate. The rooms are a tad on the small side, but certainly very comfortable and clean. The bathroom with a sliding closet door is a little weird for me, but I managed to make it work. The staff is nice and helpful. It was a pleasure to stay here and I certainly will return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Mercure Shenzhen Oriental Ginza; City: Shenzhen Guangdong; Review: I'm really impressed with this place. The young staff tries their hardest to make you feel welcome, the rooms are big and roomy. Mine had a great view of Hong Kong. The bathroom was stylish and comfortable. Its hard to imagine being disappointed here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Oasis Resort; City: Panglao Island Bohol Province Visayas; Review: The staff here are extremely nice, the place is really charming and (gasp!) the food isn't that bad. The room I had as a solo traveler was plenty spacious, with a couple of nice ceiling fans in addition to the air conditioning. The pool was great, and the place is small enough that you can have a late night swim without an audience. It's a short walk to the beach, and there's plenty of activity in the small community surrounding the resort to make it interesting for a few days.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Java Hotel; City: Laoag Ilocos Norte Province Ilocos Region Luzon; Review: This places is on the far edge of town, so if you're looking for something centrally located, keep looking. That being said, this is a comfortable place with plenty of character and a staff that is sincere and helpful. The food isn't so great, but drop me a line and tell me where it is in the Phils. Otherwise, this is a fun place with everything you need to have an enjoyable stay in this rather out of the way city.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: St Mark Hotel; City: Cebu City Cebu Island Visayas; Review: This is as close to my idea of the perfect place to stay as I got in the Phils. It's well located close to the heart of the city, the price is reasonable, the staff is nice and the room was clean, sleek and modern. The downsides: The room was a bit on the small side, although survivable. Checkout took forever, as I waited for them to confirm I hadn't taken anything from the minibar without owning up to it. And the breakfast, like nearly all hotel breakfasts in the Phils, just doesn't get a passing grade. With those downsides in mind, though, I'm comfortable giving this a five. I don't think I could have landed anywhere better in Cebu, and I am sure I would return. I recommend the place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: St Giles Makati Hotel; City: Makati Metro Manila Luzon; Review: This place was great, comfortable and convenient to where I wanted to be. The price was right and the staff was nice and welcoming. The room was on the Spartan side, but it was clean and new, so anyone that is disappointed would be very picky, indeed. The view from the pool was quite nice too. I stayed here after I stayed at the City Garden (NOT the nearby City Garden Grande), and found that I liked it better, so if you are choosing between the two, take this one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Cebu; City: Cebu City Cebu Island Visayas; Review: This must be the best place in Cebu to stay. The hotel is great, the staff is outstanding, the lobby is impressive, the pool is creative, the rooms are top notch, and I strongly suspect the food is good too, although I never got around to trying it. So why only four instead of five? Well, the place is pretty far from anything other than the (admittedly huge) shopping mall next door. Nothing else is really within walking distance. If you are OK with taking jeepneys, there's a ton of them next to the mall, or otherwise taxis aren't hard to come by at all. But I would like to be a bit more central, to be honest. If you are a walker like me, it will be a challenge. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine this hotel disappointing anyone. They really do a fine job.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Augusta; City: Bogota; Review: No rating for this hotel strikes me as particularly appropriate. Five would be misleading, because the hotel is in reality pretty well worn and badly in need of a remodel. Three would be understating the location, the incredibly helpful staff and the strange sense of comfort I had during my stay here. As long as you have an understanding that the property is quite mature and you are not expecting a five star hotel (why would you be staying in El Centro if you are?), this place will easily get the job done. You'll have easy access to the attractions and nightlife in the center of Bogota, and the staff will take good care of you.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Boutique las Carretas; City: Cartagena Cartagena District Bolivar Department; Review: This is the hotel where you want to stay in El Centro. It's on the edge of the old city center near the clock tower. Unless you plan on spending all of your time in the old city of Cartagena, taxis and getting around can be a challenge. This hotel is close enough to the walls that you can easily walk out of the center and get a taxi, or if you are out late, get dropped off and walk the last block or two without spending an hour in the maze of night traffic in El Centro. Aside from that, this a charming boutique. The rooms all have character and each is a little different. Be sure to let them know if you prefer something quieter or if you would like a room with a balcony. Cartagena hotels are expensive, but you are unlikely to regret this charming place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bioma Boutique Hotel Mompox; City: Mompos Bolivar Department; Review: Mompox is out of the way, which has been the key to its preservation. Do yourself a favor and book the Bioma for your stay here. The owners are incredibly nice people and are extremely helpful and flexible. The staff are quite nice and the rooms are very comfortable and charming, right down to the 19 century locks on the room doors (don't worry, it's secure). There's a great view and a hot tub on the roof as well. I felt like a member of the family here, and they took great care of me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Park Plaza Sukhumvit Bangkok; City: Bangkok; Review: This is a nice place to stay, although when I was there the sidewalk on Ratchadapisek Road was torn up and it made getting back and forth to Sukhumvit a lot a of work. This is obviously not the hotel's fault, but something to keep in mind in the short term of this review. The staff was accommodating and helpful. I was stranded an extra day waiting for my luggage and they did their best for me. You may want to write down the address of this hotel to give to your taxi driver. This place is pretty easy to find, but there is another Park Plaza nearby and Somchai might get confused and take you to the neighboring hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Grand United Chinatown; City: Yangon Rangoon Yangon Region; Review: Location is the primary reason to choose this place, but for God's sake, WRITE THE ADDRESS of this place after you book it and give it to your taxi driver. There is another similarly named hotel nearby and you don't want to go through the routine of arriving at the wrong hotel. This is a purely average place in a good location to certain activities in Yangon. It may suit your needs if you need something basic and generally clean. If you require a great deal of style, keep looking at other properties. If you do choose to book this hotel, I highly recommend you spend the extra $10 or so and take the penthouse. The view is great, you more or less have a personal terrace to take it in and it's your best bet to minimize the awful street noise.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cinderella Hotel; City: Mawlamyine Mon State; Review: This is not a bad option if it is within your price range. The staff is excellent, and check-in was actually a great experience. They take good care of you and make sure you are comfortable when you arrive. I found my room a little tight and difficult to move around, and the earplugs were necessary to get a good night's sleep from the rumble on the street. The breakfast was creative and filling and the location was central. I would probably return here should I ever be in town again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Zayar Htet San; City: Dawei Tanintharyi Region; Review: This is probably the nicest place in laid back Dawei that you can find to stay. Just as you'd expect, the staff is nice and just as you'd hope, the place is clean and rather comfortable, however by no means is it as stylish as you might hope by the exterior. For that matter, breakfast is rather bare bones too. This is provincial Myanmar, and paying $50-60/night foreigner price for a room here is not the greatest deal you're going to get on your trip. It really all boils down to how badly you need a decent place to stay vs. how much you want to stay in a regular Myanmar Guesthouse and save $20 or so. The wifi in the room was pretty good and reliable, if that makes a difference. But when or if I'm in town again, I guess I would give sometwhere else a try.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: S31 Sukhumvit Hotel; City: Bangkok; Review: This is a fairly nice hotel, with a rather odd layout. The entrance is on Soi 31 and if you enter on Sukhumvit, you're walking through the cafe, which might be a little weird if you are hot and carrying a ton of luggage. Reception is on the fourth floor, which is on a particular set of elevators. I found the hotel nice, the breakfast excellent for a boutique hotel and the location decent, even though it was rather a hike to the Skytrain. My check-in experience wasn't entirely pleasant, as I wasn't given a particular warm welcome and they have particularly uncomfortable and low chairs at the reception area. Check out was slow as well, as it took forever for them to verify I didn't steal 40 baht worth of chocolate from the minibar, or whatever the problem was. While I know it is standard practice in the industry to demand a deposit on a paid reservation upfront, I want to say for the record I absolutely -hate- this practice. This hotel continues this insipid tradition. The bottom line: It's nice enough place, but not nice enough for me to avoid trying some other nice place next time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pullman Khon Kaen Raja Orchid; City: Khon Kaen Khon Kaen Province; Review: This is really a five star hotel in every sense. The views are fantastic from the top floors, the rooms are stylish and the service is top notch. It was great to have a comfortable bed again, and to my pleasant surprise, there are a few bars within a couple of blocks within the hotel that appeal to foreigners. I highly recommend this hotel and suggest you give it a try.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Equatorial Shanghai; City: Shanghai; Review: This is a great alternative to the Hilton. The staff is quite pleasant, the rooms are quite nice and they won't charge you for WiFi. Each time I stayed there, my room had a nice view. The walk from the metro to the hotel is just long enough to be a sweaty one from Exit 5 at Jing'An, but it is still a few steps closer than the Hilton as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Lanzhou; City: Lanzhou Gansu; Review: You might be able to save a few yuan somewhere else, but you are not going to do any better in Lanzhou. This is a spectacular place, and if you leave this hotel unhappy, you must be one picky penguin. The breakfast here deserves special note. It must have been the largest hotel breakfast, with the smallest proportion of western offerings, that I've ever seen. It was perhaps more interesting than delicious, but is something worth considering when you make your reservations.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Silk Road Lodges The Vines; City: Turpan Xinjiang Uygur; Review: This is a decent place run by some very nice people. It's definitely on the edge of town and it takes quite a while to access. If you arriving by rail, keep the hotel phone number handy for your taxi driver. The place oozes with charm. As it stands, the hotel is far from a four or five star place, but the nice staff and pleasant setting more than make up for it. As long as you keep an open mind, you should have a great stay here too. There is a pretty good restaurant just down the drive and across the road from the hotel as well, although without much English spoken. As noted elsewhere, the hotel is undergoing a major expansion, so I would expect it will have a impact on future experiences here, depending on your preferences.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sunworld Hotel Beijing; City: Beijing; Review: Why, oh why do people put hotels with similar names in the same neighborhood? I've docked them one star for being near the Sunworld World Dynasty and I've docked myself one star for being stupid enough to find the wrong hotel in a foreign city first, again. For the record, this hotel is located a straight, rather sweaty walk down Dengshikou, a left turn assuming you exit the metro at Dongsi street and can find Dengshikou. The wrong hotel, Dynasty, is located just off Wangfujing a bit nearer to the Crowne. The hotel itself is nice, perhaps more set up for Chinese visitors than international tourists. The breakfast buffet reflects this, for example. I had a comfortable stay here with no real complaints other than the name, but I would probably consider somewhere else if I wanted to return to the neighborhood. Skip the spa, its outrageously overpriced.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: HARRIS Vertu Hotel Harmoni; City: Jakarta Java; Review: Like many Indonesian hotels, the staff here will split their heads open if they think it will help you, but the staff in this hotel are particularly nice. Given the opportunity, they will go the extra mile for you. Be nice to them, and you will have a great experience. The hotel seems to perplex a lot of taxi drivers. Make sure and take the address with you, and look for the Yello Hotel, which shares space (I think) and has a much more prominent sign. Breakfast here is particularly good for Indonesia, with lots of things on offer. Be prepared to beg for a butter knife. Apparently the hotel fears the breakfasting guests may attack each other, so they are available only by request.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Westin San Francisco Airport; City: Millbrae California; Review: I showed up here late, after having missed my connecting flight. The hotel is nice enough, comfortable and clean, just as you would expect. I would like to bump the rating up a notch, but I just can't think of anything exceptional enough to justify it, particularly for the walk up rate I paid. While the airport is physically close, it is a rather long shuttle drive away due to the way the road and the exits are built.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Metropark Hotel Mongkok; City: Hong Kong; Review: This is a decent place within walking distance to the metro. I was sold an upgrade on the room and breakfast, and unfortunately did not feel like it was really worth it. While the room was nice enough as others state, the upgrade did nothing for me and frankly I found the breakfast rather uninspiring. Other than a curious street with lots of old fashioned pet shops, the neighborhood didn't do much for me. If I had business in the area, I would consider staying here again in a standard room, but if I were just looking for a hotel in Hong Kong, I would search elsewhere.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: HARRIS Vertu Hotel Harmoni; City: Jakarta Java; Review: The first time I stayed at this hotel was great, the second was equally good. The staff delivers excellent service without question. The breakfast is still creative and varied. The mall next door is convenient for some quick snacks or a dinner or to kill a few minutes shopping. It's still well located for my needs and I'm pleased to highly recommend this property.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sulis Beach Hotel Spa; City: Kuta Kuta District Bali; Review: This is a nice, clean hotel. It's close to the beach and the rooms are quite spacious. Why not five instead of four here? The breakfast was a little on the modest side, and what was there was hardly special, but it was certainly adequate. The room was comfortable, but lacked a bit of character. This is no serious criticism, just a consideration for shopping hotels. I would return here should circumstances permit.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sama s Cottages and Villas; City: Ubud Gianyar Regency Bali; Review: Ubud is a pleasant, artsy and leafy place. Sama's does the town justice. There was no TV in my room and the breakfast was modest, but it seemed to add to the charm. Come here to let your hair down and relax, unwind and hide. The wifi was good and I had some reading material with me, and my stay there was a spectacular surprise. Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casa Valeria Boutique Hotel; City: Sosua Puerto Plata Province Dominican Republic; Review: Book this hotel now, because it's what you want. It's modern, well located between the action on the street and the beach, it's clean and well staffed and the rooms are just like you'd hope a hotel room to be. The pool is inviting and there's even a friendly cat patrolling the area. The restaurant is not bad either.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: El Beaterio Casa Museo; City: Santo Domingo Santo Domingo Province Dominican Republic; Review: This is a fun place to stay, but my goodness it was hard to move around in my room. The bed filled up most of the space and I think the bathroom is a retrofit making space a premium everywhere in the room. Even what desk there was, was really tight. That being said, this is extremely well located, quaint and comfortable, and it's undoubtedly the place you want to be if staying in the colonial zone is your goal.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Zapata; City: Boca Chica Santo Domingo Province Dominican Republic; Review: I think I had my hopes too high for this place, so I must be in the minority as I was somewhat disappointed. The room I had was basic and very, very tight. It was clean, but so small and spartan that the girl leading to the room must have read it on my face. The breakfast, or the free portion of it, was poorly tended and not worth the name--just wait until lunch or count on going somewhere else otherwise. On the plus side, the hotel is right on the beach and not too noisy, although it's a hike to the bars at night through dimly lit streets. The balcony is nice as well.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: New Garden Hotel; City: Sosua Puerto Plata Province Dominican Republic; Review: This place will get the job done, but the four or five ratings blow me away. Maybe I had a bad room? The furniture was beat up and scarred, no shampoo, only minimal towels, but all of this was compensated by three toilet paper rolls and a dump truck load of hand soap. The place is cinder block stylish with paint chips and good enough if you only want a decent bed. But with so many other choices in town, the only reason to stay here is for the breakfast, which was better than other more expensive places.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Americas Best Value Inn Beaumont; City: Beaumont California; Review: This is a place to sleep and move on. It's not a five star place, it's not really a three star place. I'm betting you have as much interest in Beaumont as I did, so you'll feel as unimpressed as I was. All of that being said, this will meet your minimums for one night in a motel, and you can look forward to staying somewhere nicer next time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel el Rancho; City: Sosua Puerto Plata Province Dominican Republic; Review: There's something at the El Ranchero that reminds me of cheap motels I remember from the '70's. There is a tackiness to the place and its cinder block construction that makes me want to rate it lower, but it is really kind of charming. There are colorful bas reliefs everywhere, bright colors break up the monotony and the restaurant is not bad either. I'm giving them a bonus star here for the two white rabbits wandering around the pool area, just waiting to lead the way for Alice when she finally shows up in Sosua.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Glamorous Powers; Author: Visit Amazon's Susan Howatch Page; Review: The second in the first trilogy of the Church of England in the early Twentieth Century. Jon Darrow, who appears in the first book,, Glittering Images, is now the protagonist with a careful introspection into his past. Howatch is very clever in how she introduces the title into the narrative and expands on it so by the end of the novel it is well documented and feels perfect for the tenor of the book. Church of England politics, Christian spiritual practices, astute spiritual direction, love and lust are vehicles for this mesmerizing book and this whole series. I highly recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: In the Breeze Stars and Stripes 60 Inch Windsock - Embroidered Stars - Durable Patriotic Hanging Decoration; Brand: In the Breeze; Review: Five PATRIOTIC Stars. This 40 inch long United States Flag Windsock is strong and beautifully constructed, and spins & floats in place when hung from a nail on the front or back porch. Mounted around a 6 inch circular tube at the top is a 13 inch long, solid blue cloth piece with embroidered 'Stars', and with the 27 inches of 'Stripes' in separate red and white flowing strips, it flutters easily in the breeze, hung from 6 inches of strong string at 3 points of attachment to a carabiner-like hook. Looks outstanding on Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and the 4th of July, or any day for a nice patriotic display. My Highest Recommendation. Five DECORATIVE Stars!.

Title: Combat 10023400973061 Max, Indoor and Outdoor Ant Killing Gel, 27 Grams; Brand: Combat; Review: Four and a half EFFECTIVE Stars! I've used many brands of ant killer liquids and ant traps and Combat gel is the most successful. This new formulation does what the previous Combat formulas did: kills the queen and the colony. Although one cannot directly see this take place, the effects of using COMBAT Source Kill Max are evident the second day when the larger soldier ants appear, which is a sure sign the queen and the colony are in serious trouble. The following day only a few are wandering around, so I vacuum them up to prevent returning to the colony with food. The next day, success. Sometimes, it takes a little encouragement: they may avoid Combat the second day, now knowing it is poison, so I put down a small piece of bacon and when they invariably surround it to eat, I cover it with Combat and they continue to eat and take it back to the remnants of the colony. Works every time. Highly Recommended! Four and a half FATAL Stars! (1 each .95 ounce-27 grams-Combat Source Kill Max Syringe.); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: In the Breeze U.S. Coast Guard Windsock, 40-Inch; Brand: In the Breeze; Review: Five HOO-RAH Stars. This 40 inch long multi-colored polyester U. S. Army Strong Windsock is strong and beautifully constructed, and spins & floats in place when hung from a nail on the front or back porch. Mounted around a 6 inch circular tube at the top is a 13 inch long, solid black with yellow edging piece with embroidered images of the Army star, "U. S.

Title: Blissun 9' Patio Umbrella Aluminum Semi-auto Autotilt and Crank Garden Parasol, 8 Ribs (light pink); Brand: ; Review: Five SUCCESSFUL Stars! This is a lightweight, strong automatic "Rainbow" Plemo umbrella which has 8 different colored panels and opens and closes at the push of a button. The umbrella shaft length is about 11.5 inches long fully collapsed in its carry bag and 22 inches fully-extended from the tip of the strong handle up the aluminum shaft to the middle of the umbrella. The diameter of the fully extended umbrella spokes and fabric from side to side is 37 inches. The umbrella weighs 11.2 ounces In testing, after the carry bag is taken off and the velcro strap is released to manually unfurl the collapsed umbrella fabric and spokes, pushing the "Up-Down" button automatically causes the umbrella to fully extend and then pop open in 1 second. Pushing the "Up-Down" button a second time causes the umbrella fabric and spokes to collapse back onto the shaft, only requiring the user to push on the umbrella top to collapse it back down the shaft, ready for using the velcro strap to secure the umbrella and placement back in the small carry bag for carrying or storage. There is also a carrying strap on the end of the handle. After opening and closing the umbrella 100 times, the automatic opening and closing mechanism performed flawlessly and the umbrella fabric and spokes stayed firmly in place. My Highest Recommendation! Five DRY Stars! (Umbrella with carry strap. This item was provided for testing and an impartial review.); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hot Shot Ultra Liquid Ant Bait, 4-Count; Brand: Hot Shot; Review: Five LETHAL Stars! Each individual plastic bait trap has two elevated inclines with the bait at the top, which requires the ant to either sense the bait and go up the incline or wander up the incline foraging. The bait is activated by pulling a tab covering the top. The box says the bait contains both a food source and water source and it further says ants can go without food, but need water daily, so they are likely to show up in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. The traps are 2 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch on its base and the bait is 3/4 inch high. The bait is liquid. Avoid touching the bait. For indoor and outdoor use. In a testing coincidence, the Hot Shot Ant Bait package arrived a day after ants were observed in the kitchen. The bait was placed in line on an active ant trail but they went around the bait for hours. Then the bait was turned perpendicular to the trail with no apparent luck, and then even tipped on its side again with no luck. Then the bait was placed again perpendicular to the trail and left in that position overnight. At no time was any activity observed on the trap. BUT the next day only a few ants were observed on the trail and following day: NO ANTs. And in the following 2 weeks, no ant activity at all. Since no other active bait was used, Hot Shot gets the credit for destroying the colony. Highly Recommended. Five EFFECTIVE Stars! (4-Hot Shot Ultra Liquid Ant Bait Traps.); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 40-inch American Flag Windsock (3.3 Feet). Stars and Stripes Windsocks - Includes Hanging Clip.; Brand: Zcutt Kites & Spiners; Review: Five PATRIOTIC Stars. I bought two!! This "40-inch U.S.A. Flag Windsock" Is a very colorful, alternative, eye-catching way to celebrate our Nation's various historic holidays as it floats and spins on the breezes on a provided hook attached to three strings, on my front porch and I have another on the back porch. It is polyester and 40 inches from tip to tip. It is very flag-like with stitched borders: a hooped blue field containing white stars and red & white individual streamers below that which all flutter with the wind. I had another that was similar to this which lasted through 2 winters, Texas wind storms, and blazing Summers. I hope the everyday spinner lasts at least a year but it is sold at a very good price. The other one that I bought only goes up for the occasional weekend/week day national holidays. Using the provided clasp doesn't work to well on a hook, it will blow away, eventually, with a strong breeze; but if you double or triple wrap the three strings around a hook, it will not blow away, even in 50 mph winds. Highly Recommended. Five COLORFUL Stars. (1 each - 40-inch American Flag Windsock (3.3 feet long) in red, white, and blue colors on polyester.); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lot of -12- 12x18 Inch US American Hand Held Stick Flags Sewn Edges with Spear Tip WindStrong®; Brand: WindStrong; Review: These are a dozen very good quality, sturdy, colorful 12 by 18 inch US Flags, each of which is stapled to a good quality pole crowned by a golden-colored spear tip. I heard some concerns about the strength of the sticks, so I tested these in different types of soils and the sticks did not split or shatter. The pole is thicker that some other brands I have bought. Likewise, the gold 'spear point' top, which receives the hammer blows when putting it deep into the ground, did not break. I'm a frequent buyer of flags of this size from Amazon and Ace and these are of very good quality and the price point is good. Highly Recommended. Five PATRIOTIC Stars.

Title: Black Mountain Products Resistance Band Set with Door Anchor, Ankle Strap, Exercise Chart, and Resistance Band Carrying Case; Brand: Black Mountain; Review: Compared to other brands, where each band is its own resistance, here you can combine multiple bands to increase your resistance as you need it. That was a huge plus for me. The little accessories like the detachable ankle strap and door anchor are great add ons, and on top of that there is a nice little bag to keep them all organized.I have just had them for a short period of time, but look forward to using them alot.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Invicta Men's 8926 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch; Brand: Invicta; Review: This is my first automatic watch and I love it thus far. I have been the tracking the time it has been on far with the reviews, with about +/- 5 seconds from my atomic clock. I synced them both up when I first got the watch, and I would check in every couple of days.The styling of the watch is superior to what I expected, and on par with a $300 watch, without the price.The only complaint I have about this watch, is the customer service of Invicta. Their website for warranty registrations suck and hasn't been able to register my watch since I got it. And when I tried calling Invicta, the first couple times after waiting for over 10 minutes, I was transferred to a voice-mail box. Finally, after I got a live person on the line they rudely told me to send in the warranty and they would register me for the free extended Warranty because I bought from Amazon. The only thing I can hope is they actually correctly register it, and if they will inform me that they have done so. The other thing that sucks with this company, is that even though these watches are covered under "warranty" they charge you for it, they claim that they need $20 for return postage (heck,I can get a USPS Priority flat rate box from $6 to $12 that will fix the watch) and most watch companies I have dealt with will let you go to an authorized watch store for repairs to avoid shipping it in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Estudio De Piel; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I love Estudio! First I found this nice spa through their special offer for micro needling pen. So I called and asked about difference of Vampire micro needling and basic micro needling. A pleasant lady answered all my questions and offered to try a simple microneedling to try if I like it first and save my $$. So I almost scheduled my first appointment, but needed to leave town. So I chosen other treatment RF tightening in other office. And there they offered me to try Voluma injections. Silly me. I blindly agreed cuz trusted their dr. Hu. She didn't spend more than 1 min with me, gave 2 huge shots of painful Voluma and said it'll be ok in couple weeks. It didn't. It was uneven and swelling and weighing down. It caused me extra mouth-cheeks creases. I waited for 4 moths and it didn't get better. So I started looking a different place to explain it to attentive specialist. I checked yelp. And Estudio sounded like a right place. So it was my conversation with their receptionist few months ago. So I scheduled an appointment and it was a great experience. I was scheduled with Doris, and she is warm and attentive and immediately saw what was a problem: my Voluma injections were at wrong place, front lower cheeks instead of natural under the eyes bones and upper cheeks. Plus it was a wrong wrong product for first injection. Doris also asked opinion of Kelly. And they both spent enough time to understand what the best way for my face features and what can be done to fix the damage. I am so thankful to you, my favorite ladies, Kelly and Doris!! So all together we found the best product and best points for injections and I feel like normal me, with my normal face. And those nose folding creases are much better now. Doris writes me her menu for my muscles, how much injections and which points. And she is very accurate using sometimes only 1ml of juviderm. Doris also amazing with Dysport injections. My frown muscles are very strong and uneven, so Doris was doing her magic shots to even up my "angry" eye-brows :) Whenever I have a questions about any procedure, Kelly and Doris are always happy to answer with her best expertise. All girls work like a good team. Spa feels like a very relaxing place. And I know I can trust to my girls and I can always rely on them. I love my new beauty magicians. I'll always stick with them and highly recommend Estudio for all who appreciates individual approach to their beauty and rejuvenation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blue Willow Restaurant & Gift Shop; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I really love their breakfasts. It's so authentic and I can feel organic taste, free of additives.

Title: Specialists in Dermatology; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I went only to their cosmetic department. I love all laser procedures, like Exellis, Yag 1065 for better collagen growth. My laser technician Rebekka is best specialist and she can evaluate all the sun damages and recommend correct treatment. She is very professional, knowledgable and warm person, truly wishing best recover for her patients. I'm very happy with suggestions for my sun damages and collagen build-up treatments. Sometimes she can be late, cuz they are so busy with many customers. I don't mind to wait for her and won't schedule with another technician. I found my best laser specialist and I wanna stay with her treatments only. It's always relaxing kinda give myself to her caring hands and I know she will always do the best. I'm her loyal customer last 8 months, and happy. I had a volima filler injections with dr Hu. It was a really good price to get injections. But I had too much of voluma. Half as much would be fine, cuz voluma is kinda thick filler. Rebekka massaged the injections after the procedure and it was very helpful. Their cosmetic department works like a good team, they would always try to give the best prices for their patients. I would highly recommend their sun damage treatment program. As for the filler injections, best is to do your own research, and firstly schedule an appointment to discuss ur wished treatment, and make kinda menu for ur fillers before u actually make an injections.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lily Aesthetics; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I researched through yelp for best permanent make-up places and I found Janet. And all they said was true. Janet is very accurate, attentive, and makes amazing job. I have different eye-brows, lost a hair cuz of thyroid problems, so I needed a professional special person for precise make-up. And for eyes make up, I wanted something special too, to emphasize my Asianish features. It took us some time to draw a correct lines and then to complete it in permanent color. Janet is extremely patient for my needs and does everything possible to meet the expectations of her customer. She has a good sense of art and lines in such small areas. It's like a jeweler's job. Janet also reapplied a naming cream, so procedure wasn't painful at next touches. Thank you, Janet! :) I'm satisfied with my looks now. I'll come back for touch ups, and will keep coming to Janet in few years.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blush Permanent Makeup; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I had a good experience with Blush. First I had very mild, natural looking permanent make up on eye-brows, eye-liner and lips. Mishele is excellent with colors, it was very natural blend in powdery make up done. She takes her time to listen and was very precise with the shape I wanted. And she told me, that pigment won't last much, cuz it's so light natural looking type of make-up. My eye-brows faded for 8 months, eye-liners for 1 year, lips stayed longer. I was ok with this, and I spent too much time outdoor swimming and suntanning. Last time I had more pigmented lip liner make up. It still stays fine, didn't fade, cuz I asked Mishele for more pigment. My lips look nice for almost three years. Thank you, Mishele! Mishele does her job by hand with needles and it was more painful, than a machine made make up. Naming cream was helpful :) and peeling process was more intense with hand made tattooed make up. But resulted make up was very satisfying.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Admission; Brand: Tina Fey; Review: This movie when described tends to have adjectives like charming, quirky, witty,endearing, delightful, etc. Generally when I see those words I assume it is going to come up short on all of those and any other type of words that would salvage the film. This movie falls into that category. If you didn't already know, any movie like this has the die hard fans of insert actor here that will 5 star review it and try to justify it. Also, a studio that invests money in a movie will throw a few dollars to give positive reviews just like buying Twitter followers or Facebook likes. This movie is a solid two. It shouldn't be worse because it has it's moments. However it shouldn't be any higher because those moments spare it from a one. I like Fey and Rudd, this just wasn't their best effort. Actually they may have been putting in good effort it was just a bad movie.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Don Jon; Brand: Joseph Gordon-Levitt; Review: I really wanted to give 2.5 stars. It's not that anyone gave a poor performance. I left the theatre thinking, what in the heck was the point of that? I mean I get what was going on a guy goes from being superficial and gets a lesson in looking deeper etc, but it just ends. So many movies these days, I've complained about it before but it seems it's the popular thing to do to give no real resolution to a movie. People might learn a lesson along the way but, just give some real resolution to the damn thing. Which you can just assume if it's from IFC it's just going to fade to black when you are expecting to get some closure on something.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Inequality for All; Brand: Robert Reich; Review: Absolutely typical Robert Reich. You could have just read or watched anything else he's done in the past. Here's the thing. He wanted to make money. That's where all of these pseudo-docs are just big fat frauds. They are a part of the system they rail against. The world has been overrun with awful liberal "documentaries". A documentary is when you go out, with no agenda, film what is happening, and then after filming come to a conclusion based on what you have documented. These days, the Reichs, Moores, Spurlocks, Gores, etc, of the world go out and create a film that leads to the conclusion that they are trying to reach. It's a joke and honestly insulting to the real documentarians of the world, and stops real honest filmmakers from earning acclaim they should get. Their format is hijacked by folks who are famous and steal attention from them for financial gain. Just look at the fortunes that have been made by the aforementioned "documentarians". Truth is I wasted only about 35 minutes of my time on the film, luckily. Edit/update: if you read this review check out the comments. That's who this film is for. Also maybe those who have no prior knowledge of Reich's opinions and want to see what he's all about. It's not a terrible idea to watch even if you don't think you'll agree so you can see him lay out his arguments. Best wishes. Second revision: for all the people talking about oh, the profits, the humanity. Businesses cannot stay in business without profits, and lots of it. If they do not take advantage while they can, all it takes is one or two bad quarters and they're done. Jobs gone, everyone out on their butts. I don't know about most people but, I'd rather have a job where the boss makes a whole lot more than I do than not have a job at all. Also, so much of this profit is phony paper profit that exists in share prices only. Which is a result of the current administrations policy, inequality has gone up more under them than at any other time. The true problem is burdensome regulations keeping people from opening and expanding their businesses. Reich is a likeable guy, he's been ahead of the curve with this, as it is now become the cause du jour. It's hilarious listening to millionaires talk about income inequality. Some of them mean what they say, like Reich, who I believe to be a genuine person, also a celebrity, but professor/theorist type first, some celebs though like with all causes do themselves and their cause a disservice by offering their opinion or "help". Anyhow, if you want to be mad at profits, feel free, but without profits, their would be no jobs. Before you say oh the profits are growing/obscene etc, that's just for now. Not all companies are always profitable and if they are they are consistent employers of people and if you are anti-profit you are anti-job.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Scorpion: Season 1; Brand: ; Review: I love this show. I don't know if I could legitimately say that any one particular thing about it is fantastic. The writing, acting, directing, characters, plot, etc are all very good in my opinion, but when added all together it makes for a show that is better than the sum of it's parts. At least that's my opinion. It was by far my favorite new show this season and immediately became one of my favorite shows period. Which is saying a lot for a person who watches and enjoys as much television as I do. I hope anyone reading this review that might not have seen it decides to watch, and then if you do, I hope that you like it as much as I do. In a time where quality shows keep cycling through CBS, and even to a smaller extent ABC and FOX, when those shows are great and would no doubt have multi year runs, on NBC, but just don't quite pull in the right numbers, it is nice that one of the shows I like seems to have really caught some traction. It really is too bad sometimes though that the fate of a show can depend on what network it lands on. A bit off topic, but the point is, this show is strong enough to make it anywhere. Enjoy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Descendants; Brand: Dove Cameron; Review: My 5.5 year old daughter absolutely loves this movie. As in will watch it multiple times a day every day if given the opportunity. Tries to watch it back to back. It's an interesting take. It's not something that a parent will have to leave the room while it's on or find something else to do. You probably won't feel like watching it over and over like my daughter, but it is good.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Wounded; Author: Visit Amazon's Jasinda Wilder Page; Review: Honestly, I had expected a book about a bigger girl that didn't let her weight keep her from living her life but apparently I was wrong. It's an erotic book and soon you'll be reading about her giving blowjobs and not a quickie either. For my preference, there was too much explanation about a blowjob... To each their own of course. It's a very quick read, even if you don't skip the sex scenes.

Title: Two Chicks Walking Tours; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: This was not as risqué as I wanted it to be.

Title: SoBou; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Our server was very kind and happy and did an amazing job. ThWe were about to leave when the food came. I am glad we stayed because the food was amazing. The french toast is super rich but I like that. I had the pork shank and it was very tender and flavorful. I would definitely go back but I would put in my order as soon as possible and not come too hungry cause you will have to wait.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mother's Restaurant; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: This place was delicious. We stood in line for awhile but it was totally worth it. I am not a big fan of ham and I loved it!

Title: The National WWII Museum; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: This is place is so well thought out. The experiences as your walking through the Road to Berlin is amazing.

Title: Luxury Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado; City: Cayo Levantado Samana Province Dominican Republi; Review: Stayed for a week from 8th November knowing it would be hit and miss with the weather due to the time of the year. However after a tropical storm hit on Saturday morning it meant cancellations of the trips we had planned that meant going on the water. However there was still plenty of things to do in the hotel and if you want to just chill out and relax you can stay around the quiet pool, which for the week I was there remained quiet. There was an American Wedding party who made the most of the free alcohol, but they stayed down on the beach and other pool, which was fine. The food was amazing, even the buffet was very impressive too which considering there are 3 impressive a la carte restaurants was a great suprise, especially as I had my doubts with what was to offer because of the price we paid. The staff are very keen to please and make your stay an enjoyable one, but didn't pester you too much. Outside of the resort it's a very poor area and if you go to Samana town to visit the small number of shops you will be pestered by the locals trying to take you on trips etc, just to try and make some money. Overall the holiday and resort was very impressive, even though the weather did it's best to ruin that.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Petit Villa Boutique Spa; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: We stayed at Petit Villa in the Mango Suite for 4 nights and would have loved to have stayed longer. From check in the staff are very friendly and extremely helpful in order to make your stay as pleasant as possible. They even wave you off when you head out, which is a pleasant personal touch. The grounds are small, but with the wildlife and foliage you feel like you are in the middle of a rainforest retreat. With the main draw of Siem Reap being the temples, we weren't too sure where to start. However the staff at Petit Villa sat us down with the map and showed us the different routes and explained that we didn't have to stick to the routes, just let the Tuk Tuk driver let you know where you want to go. Petit Villa have a number of Tuk Tuk drivers that they use to show you around, so you don't have to worry about not finding anyone reliable to drive you around for the day. We had the same driver for 2 days and he was excellent. We were impressed to see him fast asleep in his Tuk Tuk on the night before he was due to pick us up at 5am the next morning to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat. The location itself, is only a 5 min walk from the main tourist area of Siem Reap, although we always found it difficult to walk there as our Tuk Tuk driver was always keen to take us there and there was even a point where he said he would do it for free (although it's only around $2 for the trip anyway). The bedroom has a rustic feel and with the combination of the ceiling fan and air con it was a pleasant escape from the 40c+ heat. However the bathroom was the only fault we could find with the place. The shower head was extremely rusty which meant the water only dripped out and being in the middle of the bathroom it soaks everything within a 6ft radius which a lot of the time included the towels. This would not be something that would put us off returning though.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Villa Vedici; City: Kampot Kampot Province; Review: We've had friends stay here and had a wonderful time, however when we stayed we were rather disappointed. It could have been that we perhaps had too high expectations, but this is more of a backpackers hotel rather than a retreat to chill out and relax. The bed didn't have the cleanest bedding and the shower only gave out cold water. In the main hotel part they have a pool table and tennis table, but these certainly haven't been cared and you probably would have had a better cue if you had used a branch from a tree. We unfortunately forgot to hand back the key from our previous hotel in Kep, but the hotel staff arranged for one of their usual taxi drivers to take it back for us the next day as they were going that way. That was very decent of them. We had originally planned to stay for 4 nights, but even before the first night we decided we needed to move on, so again the staff were more than helpful and arranged for a taxi the next morning. Sadly the next morning for breakfast the previous days service was let down at breakfast when we were ignored. We sat back and watched other people arrive, be seated, get a menu,have their order taken and then served. We had to ask for a menu, then order at the bar and then chase up the order when half of it was missing. Perhaps we just stayed here at the wrong time.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Villa Romonea; City: Kep Kep Province; Review: We only stayed here for a couple of nights, but we could have easily stayed for longer. The large villa is set in it's own large grounds, looking down onto the sea. The staff there are so friendly and helpful meaning you can do as little or as much as you want. If you want to just relax in the infinity pool all day you can, if you want a massage down by the sea, the staff will gladly arrange that for you and if you want to go out for the day and explore the area they will arrange all that for you. The food is amazing too, with everything bought fresh in the local market. The bedrooms are simply a place for you to sleep and shower, but that is all you need. If you want the personal touch in a quiet setting then this is place for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Brussels; City: Brussels; Review: I've stayed here a couple of times on business and it's a great hotel and a great location.

Title: Karden House Hotel; City: Llandudno Conwy County North Wales Wales; Review: Stayed one night here for a family wedding and it was very a lovely comfortable staff.

Title: Holiday Inn Express Colchester; City: Dedham Colchester Essex England; Review: Stayed her for one night at the end of Aug for a friend's wedding. Staff were very friendly from the start, the room was comfortable and looked a lot better than some other hotels I have stayed in which weren't budget rooms. Easy access to Colchester station and right on the A12 too, so a very good location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Plaza Hotel; City: Antwerp Antwerp Province; Review: Stayed here, while on a business trip and was really surprised how big the rooms were, for a reasonable price. Bit of a walk into the centre of Antwerp, but overall not a bad hotel. I did have one issue whilst staying there, which was that my room safe was locked to start with. I asked a reception and was told they would either get a handyman to do it that evening or the next morning. When I checked out after a 2 night stay, the safe was still locked.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Village Hotel Bournemouth; City: Bournemouth Dorset England; Review: Stayed here for 1 night for a family occasion and was impressed with what there was to offer. It has it's own health club/spa, decent sports pub serving decent pub grub, Starbucks and another restaurant. Everything you need in one place. The rooms are pretty standard rooms, but fine for somewhere to sleep. The rooms were rather warm, but thankfully the windows open. Would definitely come back again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Maximilian Hotel; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: Stayed here for a few days in October and was very pleased with the choice of hotel. Situated in a quiet part of Prague, but within a 10 minute walk of the Old Square and many other touristy areas. Hotel staff are very friendly and keen to help. Rooms are spacey and quiet and the breakfast is not too bad.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Luang Say Lodge Cruises; City: Pakbeng Oudomxay Province; Review: Used this lodge halfway through a 2 day cruise down the Mekong with Luang Say Cruises. It was only used by the people that shared the cruise, so no chance of overcrowding. Everyone has a detached or semi detached bungalow, which takes you back to basics. Although there is only a ceiling fan to cool you down, you are able to open up all the shutters and look out to the stunning views of the Mekong. Lovely food for dinner and breakfast and attentive staff to go with it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mandala Boutique Hotel; City: Vientiane Vientiane Prefecture; Review: Spent 2 nights here in one of the larger rooms with a separate lounge (not that we remember booking that). Plenty of space and a lovely night sleep on both occasions. Certainly can't fault the hotel when it comes to the room or the staff and the style of the building is very colonial. Couple of downsides though, the breakfast wasn't great, although it was on par with the other places we staying in when in Laos. The location to the main part of the town takes about 15 to 20 minutes, but again that's not the fault of the hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Maison Dalabua Hotel; City: Luang Prabang Luang Prabang Province; Review: We actually ended up in one of the 3 bungalows that sit on the pond within the grounds for 3 nights. Very relaxing to sit on your own private terrace and relax. You can easily forget you are in a town. The location is ideal for getting around the town and seeing all the sites. The staff are really helpful and friendly. The only downside was the noise from the cockerels and dogs during the night, but you are going to get that in any part of the town, so it's not an issue with the hotel itself.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Aquarius Hotel Urban Resort Phnom Penh; City: Phnom Penh; Review: As with a lot of hotels, non residents are able to use the swimming pool for a small price, subject to availability. This roof top infinity pool is well worth a visit for all day sun. However be warned than when it is windy, you are very exposed and you are not allowed to have the parasols up so you literally have no shade. Having only opened recently hopefully this is something that can be resolved soon because this is a hidden gem of a pool. The food on offer is also worth a mention, certainly a high standard and should not be missed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mitsis Laguna Resort Spa; City: Anissaras Hersonissos Crete; Review: Stayed here for 3 nights recently as a last minute break. Staff always seemed very happy and polite and the rooms were ideal. Being all inclusive you didn't have to go far to find something to eat and drink and it was great to have pool service during the day too. This is a huge resort too and as we were there just after the school holidays it was getting quieter each day, which for me was brilliant. Couple of issues for me was the music being pumped out throughout the hotel including on loud speakers around the pool. For me this is unecessary, especially when it seems to be the same music being played all the time, which was also covered by the live music entertainment in the evening. It's a personal preference, but some people make like that. The other issue was meals in the evening. There are 4 a la carte restaurants next to each other, which in the evening open around 7pm (a couple earlier). The Italian was by far the most popular, but if you wanted to eat at 7pm you would need to queue up 30 mins beforehand, otherwise the limited seats would be taken and you would then be waiting until someone has finished before you can get a seat. By contract the Sushi restaurant rarely had people in it (when I was there anyway) so it would have made more sense to get rid of that and double the size of the Italian. However once there the food was delicious, with the Cretan restaurant the stand out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: Stayed here for business recently when my usual choice was unavailable and was extremely impressed. The building is very impressive, the courtyard makes you feel as if you are in the middle of the countryside and all the little extras made this an amazing stay. On top of all that, the breakfast was heaven. This is probably one of my favourite city hotels in Europe and I can't wait to return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Dukes Palace Bruges; City: Bruges West Flanders Province; Review: We knew check-in was not until 3pm, but we arrived at 2pm hoping the room might be ready especially as it was mid week and check out is 11am. However the room was not ready, but we were able to leave our luggage and was told the room would be ready before 3pm if not before. We tried again at 3pm and was told our room still wasn't ready even though others were now checking in, but was told it was nearly ready. 10 minutes laters it was going to be another 5 mins and then another 10 minutes later we were finally able to check in. We were told we had been upgraded which is usually a good thing, however it was to a duplex family apartment which did have it's faults. The first was the main bed being downstairs, 2 twins upstairs and then the only bathroom was through the upstairs bathroom and up some more steps and right out the back. So a bit of a mission in the middle of the night. Our room was also directly above the overspill to the main breakfast restaurant where they put the families who allow their kids to run around screaming during breakfast and where they like to keep the emergency exit doors open to allow the noise echo up the stairs. Upon check out we were never asked if we enjoyed our stay and throughout the stay we were not even spoken to even to say hello. We felt that we were treated as just another couple on a conveyor belt where they milk you for your money in an over priced hotel. The personal touch doesn't cost much and it was disappointing that for such an elegant looking building the service was so poor it was bordering on rude. On the plus side the hotel is in a great location and you do have a lot of choice for your breakfast.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Silverland Yen Hotel; City: Ho Chi Minh City; Review: We stayed here for a 3 night stay in HCMC and found it centrally located for markets, great restaurants, bars and some of the tourist attractions. The breakfast wasn't anything to write home about, but it served its' purpose as did the roof top pool. The staff were really friendly and helpful all of the time and the only downside of the hotel was the lift. There is only 1 in the building and our room was on the 10th floor where the pool is located. If it wasn't already on your floor you could end up waiting 5 minutes for the lift to get to you and take you to your floor. It was actually quicker to use the stairs.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Boutique Hoi An Resort; City: Hoi An Quang Nam Province; Review: We normally choose boutique hotels as they are usually small enough so you get the personal touch, but with over 110 rooms this hotel is too big for that and coupled with the big turn over of people staying here for only a couple of days at a time while they visit Hoi An it just seems to be missing what we normally look for in a boutique hotel. Even though we stayed during the low season the hotel was always full, but there is plenty of shade and sun loungers around the huge pool, covered sofas towards the beach and also plenty of loungers and umbrellas on the private beach. The service from the pool bar was usually pretty good as was the lounge bar in the main hotel. The breakfast had your usually egg station and plenty of options for Western and Asian breakfasts and again the service is really good. One issue we did have in the lounge bar on a couple of occasions was that we would have a drink before heading out for the evening and when we came back about 4 hours later the table we were sitting at earlier was still dripping wet with condensation where it hadn't been wiped all evening and even the used tissue paper we had used to mop some of this up earlier was still scrunched up on the table. This was a regular issue and it's not even as if it was busy at any point. The rooms are a decent size, but can be noisy depending on your location. Unfortunately we were located right by the lift, lobby and walkway down to the gardens and pool so it was very noisy. Also the air con can be hit and miss and we even had to change rooms as it wouldn't cool down the room enough. Even the one we moved to was only just cold enough. There is a very useful free shuttle service into the main part of Hoi An which takes about 15 mins and runs twice in the morning, twice in the afternoon and then on the hour from 1800 until 2100 in the evening. They do run 2 minibuses at a time so you can usually get a seat without a problem. Overall we had a pretty decent stay here for the 10 nights.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

I bought these for an exterior lighting project. I have them tucked up under the eaves of the house and next to the siding. They shine down on the siding and really add a great loo to the house. They were easy to install despite the fact that there was little to no access between the fixtures. They literally just pop right into the ceiling or in this case soffit.

Title: Skechers Kids Twinkle Toes Shuffles Sweet Steps Light-Up Sneaker; Brand: ; Review: Bought these for my 2 year old for daycare. We are still potty training and, of course, she had an accident and the daycare left her in these shoes all day. I put them in the washing machine and they came out just fine, no issues. I let them air dry and they don't smell at all. My older daughter has a pair and the pink bow is falling off, but she's in 1st grade and I can only imagine the things her shoes have seen, so I don't think it's a quality problem, just shoes being used as they are intended. Great colors, go with a bunch of outfits, and my daughters love them!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fashion First Aid Women's Brah Extender: Bra Breathing Room, 2-Hook Narrow (3 Pack); Brand: Fashion First Aid; Review: I was measured at Victoria's Secret but it was off, I'm a 34, not a 32, but I had bought 7 bras that day in the wrong size. The cup size fit, however I felt too tight around my chest. Praise the Viking Goddess whoever made these, because they are a miracle!! Saved me $200 in wrong-sized bras! Color is great and these are wonderful quality, I wear them almost every day and don't see them breaking anytime soon.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Columbia Girls' Benton Springs lll Overlay Fleece Jacket; Brand: ; Review: My daughter lost her light jackets that I send to her to school with because the a/c in the south is on high and my poor daughter freezes in school. I couldn't find any jackets in any stores as the outside temp is in the 90s now, so I went to Amazon to purchase a jacket. This one is cute, high quality and decent price. It's perfect use for my daughter to bring to school to keep her warm, and it folds up enough to fit in her backpack. It fit as appropriate and still has enough room to fit her when 'winter' comes later on. Overall nice jacket, nice quality, and nice price.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Leopold Hotel Sheffield; City: Sheffield South Yorkshire England; Review: A clean and comfortable room was a pleasant welcome when arriving at the Leopold Hotel. However, the clean comfortable room was spoilt by the poor heating. The room was like an ice box and the Aircon heating was not up to it. The porter kindly brought me an oil heater which made the room bare able but still cold. Unfortunately what coud have been a pleasant stay on business at a nice well located hotel was spoilt by a old room and a freezing bathroom with no heating :-(; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Tonge Barn; City: Sittingbourne Kent England; Review: Not too sure how to review this hotel. Not quite what I was expecting. My room didn't feel very private with one wall being mainly the door and a large single pain opening glass window with just a curtain to give privacy. The room was clean but a little tatty. Breakfast was good. Would I stay again?? Not too sure; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: College Court Hotel; City: Leicester Leicestershire England; Review: I stayed here to break up my Journey to Grimsby for business. The hotel was easy to find and check in was simple. Upon arrival at my room I was greeted by a very clean, tidy and pleasant room in what appeared very quiet surroundings. I enjoyed a meal in the bar and a great nights sleep in a very comfy bed. Breakfast was also great. I definitely recommend this hotel!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Styles Reading Oxford Rd; City: Reading Berkshire England; Review: To be honest a little bit disappointing I don't know Reading too well but it didn't feel like the best part of town The Hotel was recently opened and unfortunately they were only serving a limited menu in the Restaurant. While there were plenty of local restaurants try were mainly places like Kebab Shops and Pizza takeouts. I had a good nights sleep in a comfortable if not slightly noisey room. Breakfast was a big disappoint compared with other Ibis Styles I have stayed at. There was a very limited choice and most of what was available had run out and wasn't being re stocked too efficiently. Overall not the best Ibis styles I have stayed in. Must try harder.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Hollies B B; City: Newark on Trent Nottinghamshire England; Review: What a great find!!! My expenses budget usually only stretches to the like of IBIS, Premier Inn etc so it was really nice to stay somewhere a little more personal and comfortable. The Hollies was very easy to find, and even though I didn't arrive until circa 19:00 there was plenty of parking in the side street next to The Hollies. I was greeted by Caroline who was very friendly and helpful providing me with a great recommendation for dinner in the centre of town. I had a larger room and it had everything I could wish for including a very comfortable bed and a great en Suite Bathroom with a very spacious shower and high quality toiletries. My only disappointment was that the Hollies is next to a fairly busy road and due to the wonderful character of the property there were only single glaze sash windows. Therefore it was a little noisy. However, the noise was not significant enough to spoil an otherwise great stay at a great price. If I am travelling in the area again I will definitely be making a return visit.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: 62 Castle Street; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: After an easy check in I was very pleased with what I found when I entered my room. An excellent size room with a huge bed and pleasant sitting area. Overall a great hotel in a great location. I will stay again My only negative would be the lack of a Bar and or restaurant. But in this area there is no of places to eat and drink; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Aloft Liverpool; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: I stay in Liverpool a fair bit and as a result like to try different hotels for a change. Nothing to really complain about with the room being clean and modern but a little small. The room was quiet which was good news and the curtains were excellent at keeping out the light. On less positive side whilst large the bed wasn't too comfortable and I woke up with a stiff back. Will I stay again, probably not as The IBIS Styles has equivalent standard rooms, a more comfortable bed and all for less money; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Shankly Hotel; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: After reading great reviews about this hotel I was quietly excited about the opportunity to try it out for myself. Upon arrival check in was smooth and I was allocated a room with ease. Unfortunately from here onwards things went downhill. After going to the third floor it became apparent that the room I had been given didn't exist so back to reception I went. This time I was allocated a room which upon arrival was pleasant. Although it was a little noisey as it looked over the bus station. Unfortunately the room was also a little cold because the airconditioning was not working. Problems were further compounded by a TV that kept freezing and the only way to get it working was to switch off and on. This problem persisted through out the evening. After being in my room for about an Hour, all of a sudden my room was entered by two maintenance chaps, no knock at the door. Apparently there was a problem with the Aircon. They fiddled for about 15 mins but no success. The final challenge came at bed time when it turned out the double bed was made up of two single mattress, which were unfortunately not the same height meaning as you rolled over in bed you fell off one mattress on to the other. The only saviour for the room was the Jacuzzie bath which I have to admit was a nice touch.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: 62 Castle Street; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: This is the 3rd time I have stayed at this hotel and it continues to tick all the boxes. After a long drive to Liverpool and meetings all day it was great to check in to a pleasant hotel with an excellent size room and a comfortable bed. The welcome upon check in was great and the whole check in process was excellent. Whilst this hotel does not have a restaurant this really is not a problem as there are so many restaurants to choose from within a very short walk from the hotel. If there is anything I have to complain about it would have to be the building work that is currently going on opposite the hotel. My otherwise great nights sleep was spoilt by the noise of the workmen on the site starting work at about 06:30am. This is obviously not 62 Castle Street's fault but it did tarnish what was otherwise a pleasant nights stay. I will be staying again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Montcalm at the Brewery London City; City: London England; Review: I chose this hotel primarily based on it's excellent location whilst attending meetings in the Moorgate / Barbican area of the city and because it was very competitively priced. i The hotel was excellent value for money and whilst the room was not that large it was adequate, very comfortable and fairly typical in size for a London hotel. I would happily stay at this hotel and if I had to criticise it would be that the room was very warm and I struggled to control the temperature with the in room Aircon. I also had a bit of trouble switching the TV off and ended up having to pull the plug out of the wall. All very minor points and overall a great hotel!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Leopold Hotel Sheffield; City: Sheffield South Yorkshire England; Review: Having stayed at this hotel a number of times about 3 years ago it was good to find that the hotel continues to deliver the same comfortable and welcoming stay as I remember and the hotel seems to have stood the test of time well. It was also good to find that the heating now seems to work much better than previously and as a result my previous experience of a cold room was not repeated. Check in was smooth and efficient and the experience at check out was equally efficient. Whilst I was only staying in one of the standard rooms it was perfectly adequate and I had a comfortable nights sleep The hotel is in a great location with plenty of places to get something to eat within easy walking distance. It is however, worth noting that there is not any parking on site and the local car park is about a 5 minute walk from the Hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: BridgeStreet at Liverpool ONE; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: Liverpool is a regular business destination for me but This location is not one I had used before, but will definitely use again.

Title: Mour Hotel; City: Annesley Nottinghamshire England; Review: I stayed here on route to a meeting in Grimsby. Check in was swift and I was happy with the good sized and comfortable room. My only challenge with the room was the fact it was very cold when I first arrived and it took a while for the room to warm up. Food in the restaurant was good but £22 for a pint of Peroni and Fish and Chips was expensive!!! Overall a good stay; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Village Hotel Manchester Cheadle; City: Cheadle Greater Manchester England; Review: I stayed here for the one night whilst visiting Manchester And Liverpool on business Check in was quick and easy and the chance to upgrade to a Club Room was greatfully received The room was a good size and comfortable and the added bonus of a decent coffee machine was a good touch. I didn't eat at the hotel but the choice looked ok and the number of people eating indicated the food must be ok. If you don't want to eat in you will need transport to go out but there was some reasonable choice in nearby Cheadle. I had a good nights sleep in a comfortable bed and this was only spoilt by the sound of Aircraft taking off which seemed to start fairly early. Would I stay again?? Yes; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Aparthotel Adagio Premium Dubai Al Barsha; City: Dubai Emirate of Dubai; Review: I’ve just returned from a week in a 2 bed Apartment with my wife and 2 kids The Apartment was about 15 mins and 70 AED by cab from the airport or if you don’t mind the Metro then just 5 mins walk from Sharaf DG metro which is on the same metro line as the airport. Check in was easy and the staff were happy to help in any way they could. Overall the apartment was good with two good size bedrooms both with en-suite showers and the double with a bath as well. The only drawback with the bedrooms was the very hard!! Beds Unfortunately Towels were a little limited with only one in each bathroom. But reception soon put this right. The kitchen was a good size with a large Fridge Freezer , Dishwasher and a Gas cooker However, cooking in the kitchen was almost impossible with very very limited equipment and one very small saucepan and a shortage of sharp knives or utensils. There was also only 4 dinner plates 4 side plates and 4 tiny bowls so the dishwasher got a good work out. The separate utility area with washer dryer was great. The hotel pool was good with plenty of sun loungers, some day beds and tables and chairs. There is also a pool bar which sold a good range of Beer, Wine, spirits and cocktails. Of course as you expect in Dubai drinks were expensive at £4 for a coke and £10 for a pint of beer or glass of wine . As far as location goes, whilst not as pleasant as hotels in the Dubai Marina or Palm area, you are paying a lot less. But with Sharaf DG metro so close and the Marina area only 3 stops on the metro and Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalif only about 15 mins away all the key sites are within very easy reach. A tip re the metro, make sure you get a Noi card, Dubai’s equivalent of an Oyster card. With this Dubai Mall is just 5 AED each way which is approx £1 and Dubai Marina 3 AED which is about 70 pence. Overall a good hotel if you don’t mind being in a slightly less glamorous area. But certainly nothing to worry about; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: ProImpact Treadmill Mat; Brand: ; Review: I have an exercise bike, treadmill, rowing machine and weight bench in my basement. I have been looking for a long time for good quality mats that would protect the cement floor and help to stabilize the equipment as well. My treadmill finally kicked the bucket and I had to order a new one on Amazon so I decided to order 2 of of these workout mat's as well. I purchased 2 of the the 6mm black and blue mats to put under my new treadmill and another to put under my rowing machine. I have to say that I love these mats so much that I ordered a 3rd one and plan to order a 4th as well to go under my bike and weight bench. The mats are extremely sturdy. They are thick and very good quality, I have even been using one to do crunches on while I wait for my treadmill to be delivered. I was cautious when I received the mats because I read others' reviews regarding a strong rubbery smell. For me, they barely smelled like rubber when I took them out of the box and laid them out and I haven't smelled a thing since. I also have to say that I like the black and blue speckled look that the mat has and it makes my basement workout room look even better. Excellent product for anyone looking to preserve their floor AND their exercise equipment. I would highly recommend this mat.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Victorinox Champion Plus Knife; Brand: Victorinox; Review: This may sound funny but I am a 31 year old female who keeps a swiss army knife in my coach purse! I had come across a lot of situations where I need a tool so I decided to purchase this swiss army knife to keep on hand. You would be surprised how many times I have had to pull it out either to use the scissors when Im on the road or if I buy a new toy for my nephew to cut the package open or even to screw on a license plate or even use the nail file if I break a nail! This swiss army knife has anything you might need for random tool needs. It has come in very handy for me in many situations and I am very happy with it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sunlite Cloud-9, Bicycle Suspension Comfort Saddle, Comfort Gel Ladies, Tri-Color Lycra; Brand: SunLite; Review: I purchased a Swchinn Exercise bike and the seat was hard as a rock. I went to my local sports stores to look for a replacement seat and actually purchased one, but it provided so little cushion that I ended up returning it. I could not find anything better at local stores so I searched on Amazon and decided to purchase this Sunlight Cloud-9 woman's bike seat. I have been using it for about 6 months and I am not sure I would be able to find anything that fits and works any better. I think that no matter what, if you are on an exercise bike or regular bike for 45 minutes or more, your butt is bound to get sore no matter what kind of a seat you have, unless you are taking it a step further and wearing padded bike shorts, just do to the friction and movement caused by pedaling and butt movement/shifting. But I can say that even when using the bike for an hour at a time that this seat is cushioned enough to get me through without being in pain afterward.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Schwinn 150 Upright Exercise Bike; Brand: Schwinn; Review: I have had the Schwinn Exercise Bike for about 6 months now. If you are looking for an exercise bike I would say this is a good choice. I am a 5'5' woman and this bike fits me well. The electronic features it provides, such as preset programs, the ability to create your own program, heart rate and calorie burn monitoring, progress tracking, mp3 input, are all positive features of this bike. One feature I found by default is that it actually can sync with my polar heart rate monitor watch. I don't even have to have my hands on the heart rate tracking devises on the handles and as long as my polar heart rate monitor watch is working, the display on the bike actually sync's with my stats on the watch, which I find more accurate than the bike's calculations. The display also the ability to prop up an ipad or magazine if you choose to do so. The one challenging thing I find about this bike, which is likely the case with all exercise bike's, is that you have to stay conscious of how hard you are working in order to get a good calorie burn. It is easy to get distracted and pedal at minimal pace and then you won't get the same work out as if you are staying conscious and pushing yourself. I would also recommend purchasing a cushioned seat cover or replacement seat because the seat is not comfortable without one. All in all I would say this is a good choice. It does what it is supposed to do for an exercise bike and I have have real complaints about it overall.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine; Brand: ; Review: I had this rower on my wish list for probably a couple years before I bit the bullet and completed my purchase. I am someone who typically runs 3-6 miles a day and then bikes a few miles on top of that. I work out pretty hard 5 days a week to stay in shape and wanted something new to mix up my routine. I must say that I am more than happy that I purchased this rower.The first thing I want to pass along is that this rower DOES NOT need to be plugged into an outlet. That was something I was unaware of until I received it and was very happy I didn't have to place it near an outlet. The rower itself works through resistance and pull alone with a chain almost like a bicycle. The monitor runs on a battery...so no outlet needed.I am someone who is in pretty good shape and have always been athletic and I must say that this rowing machine really provides a tougher workout than I thought it would, which is great! Just after having it for a few weeks and using it 5 days a week, I can feel the difference in by body because this rower works your arms, shoulders, back, core, and legs. I feel it the most in my shoulder and upper back muscles from rowing. Again, it runs off of your own pull and resistance so if you want to get a good workout you have to stay conscious of how hard you are working to keep your pace and resistance up and get your heart rate and calorie burn up.The monitor provides different options. You can "just row" or you can choose particular preset workouts. It has a lot more features than I have used, like being able to transmit workout information to a computer. It does allow you to input your personal information and stats and reflects your calories burned throughout the workout but I find my Polar Heart Rate Monitor Watch is slightly more accurate.For me, I love this rower. It gives me a great full body workout and I have seen this same exact model used in professional training and at gyms. I am very happy with my purchase.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Smooth Fitness 7.35 Folding Treadmill; Brand: Smooth; Review: I decided to purchase this Smooth Fitness treadmill after doing some research and seeing that it was in the top 3 recommended treadmill's by Consumer Research, with the other 2 choices being thousands of dollars, so this was the best choice at a decent price. I run between 3.5 to 6 miles a day, 5 days a week on the treadmill, so my treadmill's definitely get a good deal of usage. After receiving this new treadmill it took me about an hour to get it set up. It major parts are already put together so the rest was pretty easy.I have been using this for several weeks now. The first thing I noticed with this treadmill is that it is very quiet, a lot more quiet than my previous treadmill. Both the belt itself and the sound of my running and hitting the treadmill barely create any sound so that is a definite plus.The buttons for setting the speed with one touch only provide even numbered choices so if you want anything in between you have to use the up and down buttons to get to your desired speed. Not a big deal really but my previous treadmill was numbered 1-10 so it is a change for me.The only other feature I have taken notice of to comment on is the pause setting. I run in intervals where I will run a couple miles then pause and jump off the treadmill to do weights, crunches, push-ups, etc, and with this treadmill if you pause for more than a couple of minutes it resets itself and loses track of how far you have run and your time and basically zero's out everything. I do wish it would allow me to pick up where I left off and not have to start new mileage and time after each interval but have not figured out if that is even possible.These are just a few features I have taken notice of that I find important to pass long. They are not deal breakers at all and noise-reduction alone is a great positive of this treadmill. As far as a workout, this is a great quality treadmill and works as it should and I am overall happy with my purchase.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: SMARTWOOL Men's Mountaineering Extra Heavy Crew Sock; Brand: ; Review: I purchased this Smartwool Mountaineer socks mainly to wear when I am outside for extended periods of time, whether it be shoveling snow or walking the dog in the 30 degree temps. These socks are very cushioned and extra thick and my feet stay completely warm when Im outside in the cold. The length is longer than other Smartwool socks, going up to at least my mid-calf and I am 5'5". The wool keeps my feet warm and dry. My main recommendation is to make sure that your feet are warm either before you put on the socks or before you put boots on with the socks. It makes it much easier to keep your feet warm rather than wait for them to warm up after putting them on. Also, make sure you get the right sized socks because if they are too tight they will reduce circulation, which also would make your feet cold. All in all, Smartwool socks are the warmest socks I have found and these Moutaineering socks are as warm and cushy as you can get.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tone Fitness Abs Toning Wheel; Brand: Tone Fitness; Review: The first day I used this as a part of my workout I did 2 sets of 10 extensions. A few hours later and the next day my abs were KILLING ME. That means the product actually works, and does it's job well to give your abs a workout. If you can feel the soreness that means what your doing is working, and I could feel my abs burning a million times more than doing crunches and even more than doing planks. I will say, this is a difficult tool to use as not only do you use your abs but you also use your back muscles when extending out. Just because it is hard though, I would not be scared of it. If you start with just a few extensions a day you will feel the effect and then you work yourself up from there. If you want something that is actually going to be an effective ab workout, this will do the trick. Be ready!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Definity HHP-001 Pair of Push Up Bars; Brand: CAP Barbell; Review: Prior to purchasing these push up bars I was using a push up bar that was basically a circular plastic disc with a handle (you can find these kids on Amazon) to complete my push ups. I used these for several years and finally started to get irritated with how the discs rotated around and caused my wrists to rotate in the middle of a push-up so I decided to try something new. These push-up bars are much better. They stay in place on the floor and do not shift around. They provide a solid base and are easy to grasp without putting any strain on my wrists. I also feel like they allow me to keep my form better than the disc-like push up tools, which allows me to complete more push-ups. All in all I am happy with my purchase and find this to be a great addition to my home gym.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MTECH USA MT-604 Series Folding Knife 4.5-Inch Closed; Brand: Mtech USA; Review: I purchased this basically just to have on hand if I need a heavy duty knife of this sort. Obviously I like that it was pink, it just looks cool. But upon receipt I can confirm that this is a very good quality knife. The blade is very sharp and it is heavy in weight and doesnt feel flimsy or cheap at all. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to close the blade but you basically have to push the metal piece along the inside down to release the blade and fold it back up. All in all it's a good knife, good quality, sharp, and it looks cool too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: CamelBak BPA-Free Better Bottle with Bite Valve; Brand: CamelBak; Review: What makes this different than the typical water bottle is the bit valve and straw. Basically in order to get to your liquid you have to bit or squeeze the rubber valve that you drink out of. For me, if I bite it and then drink the back of my teeth get cold so I try to squeeze it with my lips while I drink or find the right place to bite it so that the liquid doesnt make my teeth cold. It may sound funny but I sort of enjoy this challenging way to get to my drink (Im always up for a challenge). What I have noticed is that for some reason, drinking a liter of water or whatever you want to drink out of this seems a lot easier and faster. Im not sure why but I seem to be able to drink it much faster out of this container, which is good if you're trying to stay hydrated and take in a certain amount of fluid every day. The only other thing I should mention is the other thing that makes this bottle different is that you dont have to tip it. A straw is attached to the cap and valve so you are basically drinking out of a straw. I see it as a plus except the straw doesnt not go all the way to the bottom of the bottle so it's hard to get to the last sip of drink without taking off the cap and drinking it. Those are the main details I can give about this water bottle. I personally like it better than any other water bottle I have had.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Black Mountain Products Resistance Band Set with Door Anchor, Ankle Strap, Exercise Chart, and Resistance Band Carrying Case; Brand: Black Mountain; Review: This is a great set of resistance bands. It comes with a variety of bands equaling different amounts of pound resistance. It also comes with the ankle straps if you want to use the bands to do leg exercises as well 2 handles to clip the band(s) onto for arm exercises. There is a bag if you care to store them in the bag and a small paper booklet giving you some examples of different exercises you can do. These are a good alternative to free weights or weight machines. You can do so many different exercises with them and work a variety of muscles. Keep in mind, if one band doesn't satisfy your weight resistance desire, you can double or triple them up, just hook them onto the handle or ankle strap and work with the combined resistance. I have been using these for a little over a month and stretching them pretty good during my use, and I see no signs of wear or tear. Anyone looking to add a little variety to their workout or for an alternative to weights or machines, I would definitely give these a try.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: GRIPAD-WEIGHT LIFTING & GYM WORKOUT GRIP GLOVES; Brand: gripad; Review: I needed some protection on my hands because I was getting calluses in the middle of my fingers from doing pull ups and using the pull up bar to do reverse crunches. I decided to give these a shot to help provide some cushioning to my grip to prevent calluses. I have been using these Gripad Workout Grips for about a month and they are great. I use them when working out every day and they have not shown any wear at all. They are still in perfect condition. They are very comfortable, you just slip a few fingers through the finder holds and grip away. They have prevented my calluses from getting any worse and have solved the problem I was having completely. Im sure they will last me a while but whenever they do wear down I will be coming back for more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: OPTP Stretch Out Strap with Exercise Booklet; Brand: OPTP; Review: All this is, is a strap with some loops in it. That being said, it is so incredibly helpful to use during stretching exercise. I am and always have been a very active and healthy individual, but stretching has always been my weak spot. I finally decided I needed to start integrating stretching into my day for my own good and due to constant tight muscles. Because I am so inflexible, I decided to get this strap to help me out a bit and now I use it every day. I use it to help stretch out my legs, calves, quads, and any muscle I can in my legs. But the biggest help has been with my upper back and shoulder tightness. I basically go out onto my deck and throw this strap around the deck rail and lean back and put all my weight backward while looping the straps around my arms and it stretches out all of the muscles in my upper back. It has helped with the tightness in my upper back and shoulders IMMENSELY. Far more than even massages have helped, stretching has provided far more relief and this simple strap helps me to do the stretches I can't do on my own. This is a great supplement to a stretching routine and I highly recommend it. It's simple but extremely helpful and effective with stretching.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

Title: Dallas Manufacturing Co. 30-Inch by 40-Inch Heavy Indoor/Outdoor Pet Bed; Brand: Dallas Manufacturing Co.; Review: It's not super-soft, and my dog chewed away the corner in a few days; I'm sure she could have done it sooner if she wanted to. Now she still uses it, but prefers the couch. I think I'll gut it and fill it with something else, cover it up w a blanket. I'll essentially be a very expensive pillowcase!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Nylabone Dura Chew Hollow Stick, Bacon Flavor; Brand: Nylabone; Review: I thought it would have a rougher feel to it, but it's smooth molded plastic. I didn't smell the bacon scent; I hope my dog did! She chews it a bit every so often, especially if I put it away for a few weeks(I rotate her toys). I wouldn't buy it again.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: GoCat Da Bird Pull 2 Piece Pull Apart Rod & Bird, Handmade in the USA; Brand: Go Cat; Review: Just got it, and the cats love it. One of my cats, who is usually only moved by catnip, is playing with it and I think it'll grow on him. Even the dog loves it! It takes a bit of practice, but I've gotten more used to making it zoom, act like a hopping bird, or flutter like and injured one. Keeps their interest and gets them moving. I was worried at first that the construction wasn't sturdy, but it's very strong, even though it's in two parts. I can swing it around strongly, and it bends a little just fine. It has an attachment piece like a fishing rod bait thing, so I could even make my own ends or buy other brands to attach to it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blueberry Pet 3/8-Inch Adorable Triangles in Colorful Spring Pastels Designer Dog Collar, X-Small; Brand: Blueberry Pet; Review: I got the purple one, and it's vibrant and of high quality. I've gotten a few compliments on it, or rather my dog has. The clasp is a little different in that you put it through the d-ring first, but I like that about it. A good buy, I plan to get the rainbow one in May in time for gay pride.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: LupinePet 1/2” Eco Collection Breakaway Cat Collar with Bell, 8-12”; Brand: LupinePet; Review: High quality, easily adjusted, and the bell has a pleasant sound.

Title: RC Pet Products Sport Pawks Dog Socks, Paw Protection; Brand: RC Pet Products; Review: They're cute and easy to put on as long as your dog's nails are properly trimmed. My dog had smaller feet than her ankles, though, so they slip off. Boo. I think something with a velcro strab might work better for her, though they may not be as comfortable. Also, I tried not to laugh at her weird walking when she first tried it, but I couldn't help myself. Poor puppy, so confused. Give them lots of treats!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Patriot Pet 6 Inch & 12 Inch Chews & Treats, All Natural & Long-Lasting Digestible Chew; Brand: Patriot Pet; Review: My dog loved them. If your dog has allergies, though, like mine does, I recommend Pawstruck bully sticks instead. These must be made where they make other things, because my dog had a mild reaction to these but not Pawstruck's.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bio Spot Active Care Flea & Tick Spot On; Brand: Bio Spot; Review: My dog has a lot of allergies and this doesn't bother her at all. It's a great deal, and it's effective! I've been using it for about a year and not fleas. She once got a tick on her, but it couldn't latch on.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Ruffwear Front Range Harness - Twilight Gray; Brand: Ruffwear; Review: Took a bit for my dog to get used to wearing it, but sh'es all good now. I like the color and the texture. My dog has big shoulders with a sort of hump(pug/beagle/shepherd) so most things fit strangle on her. I was able to adjust it to fit her quite well, and it doesn't shift around like her old(but good) harness did. It's sturdy enough to use as a car seat belt. Why I really got it is that is has both front AND back clips. I wanted to experiment with a front harness, but didn't want to commit. Also, I can leave her leash on the front when I clip the back into her seatbelt. Walking my dog with the front harness is a game-changer. She tries to tug to get onto the neighbors' lawns and I stand still until she stops, I praise her, and we keep going. She used to tug a lot longer, making the walk far more frustrating. It's only been a couple of days but the difference is amazing, and I expect the progress to continue. Also, I work in a pet store, and this one is equal to or better than the best harness we offer in there. Why else wouldn't I be using my employee discount??; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pet Magasin Thermal Self-Heated Bed for Cat, Pack of 2; Brand: Pet Magasin; Review: My cat and my dog love these. I'm going to get another set so all their favorit spots will be toasty and warm...I'm tempted to put on on the seat of my car for a warm bum too!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lixit 30-0193-024 Critter Space Pod, Small (Colors May Vary); Brand: Lixit; Review: I got a pink and purple one. My rat is still getting used to it, but he's definitely going up there, because the treats I put in it keep disappearing :3 This is great for small pets who love to climb, but I think my rat may like fabric houses and hidey-holes better.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: API Test Strips Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Test Strips; Brand: API; Review: They seem to do the job. I have a new tank, so I'm testing every couple of days. Much, much easier to use that the droplet Master Test.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Prevue Hendryx Black Feisty Ferret Cage; Brand: Prevue Hendryx; Review: It's theoretically easy to put together, but some of the panels are similar to the other panels. I built the bottom half and realized that I used the panel for the top half, and I had to take it apart and do it again. Once it was finished it was excellent. I have an adult rat who's already in there, but there's a risk of the little ones going through the bars, so they're in a starter cage until they're a bit bigger. I use fleece the cover the wire bottom. I just shake it outside and throw it in the wash. Free & clear detergent and fabric softener. Oh, yeah...one of the little square things that the wheel fits into was missing. If I don't lift it at all when moving it, it's fine. I'm sure I can get the part at a hardware store. Still worth it :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Aqueon 09765 Fern Aquarium Plant, 14-Inch; Brand: Aqueon; Review: I got two Aqueon plants. One was in pieces when it arrived, and the other one pretty much fell apart as I was trying to place it in my tank. They looked pretty, so if you don't mind bringing out the aquarium glue for these they could be a good thing.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Python Pro Clean-Mini 1" x 6" Tube with 6 ft. Hose; Brand: Python; Review: I use this in conjunction with the bulb. It very long, so you may need to cut the hose to keep from having loops everywhere and slowing down the flow. Works well in my 2.5 and 5 gallon betta tanks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Aquatic Arts Moneywort - 2 Bunches - Live Aquarium Plants; Brand: Aquatic Arts; Review: A lot came! It survived some fairly cold weather on my porch while I was at work. Apparently it's better as a floating plant, so I let half of them float and planted the rest. I'll see which one does better. They're attractive and came very healthy. I would buy again from this seller.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Bully Sticks Premium Kangaroo and Crocodile Sausage Dog Treats (25 Pack); Brand: Best Bully Sticks; Review: My dog like it, and it takes more than 5 seconds for her to eat it, which is nice. She has allergies so these really worked out. They're crunchy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: LOVATIC CONBEE 5 in 1 Stainless Steel Aquarium Tank Aquatic Plant Tweezers Scissor Spatula Tool Set for Fish Tank Aquariums; Brand: LOVATIC; Review: I haven't used all the pieced yet, but they are solid and seem to be of good quality. I just started having planted tanks, and I think these will be immensely helpful. No more fumbling about with my whole arm in the tank!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seachem Prime; Brand: Seachem; Review: This stuff is a lifesaver. It worked really well to start, and I notice a big difference in water readings in comparison to Stress Coat. Recenlty my pipes froze and I couldn't do water changes, and a bit of this every couple days really helped out. I got plain apothecary dropper bottle when bought this, so it's easy to dose for all my tanks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seachem Stability; Brand: Seachem; Review: I started using this right before I broke down and moved my tank to a different location in the house. I used about 4 gallons of water from the old tank, new planted substrate (Eco Complete) and some plants. I added this per the instructions and I haven't had any spikes in ammonia. I can credit some of that to the old water, reusing the filter media(Aquaclear), the plants, and the live bacteria in the substrate, but I think it helped. I've also been using it in my smaller tanks and noticed smaller than usual spikes in parameters. A good purchase, and I'll continue to use this and Prime.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carib Sea Eco Complete Planted Black Aquarium Substrate; Brand: Carib Sea; Review: I've notice my plants flourishing in this, and it's not too rough for my cories either. I plan to use this in the tank I'm about to set up as well. I bought to much and sent one back...it costs shipping to send back, so you don't get a full refund. Buy the right amount!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: K&H Pet Products Crate Pad for Pets - Self-Warming, Odor Control or Memory Foam; Brand: K&H Pet Products; Review: I really like this one. It's sturdy and of better quality than the ones I got last year, of a different company, though those are holding up okay. The color is a rich brown, not a gross brown like some things can be. It claims you can machine wash and hang dry, but I'd spot clean when I can until it really got dirty. I'd buy it again if I need any in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Villa Puri Ayu; City: Sanur Denpasar Bali; Review: My family (wife and two teenage daughters) stayed in the Emerald Wing accomodation. This was very nice with excellent beds and sheets in two bedroom (both doubles), huge lounge/dining and self contained kitchen. Plasma TV and DVD working. Very spacious and right by the pool. Thoroughly cleaned every day by team of 3 staff, good quality clean towels. Only had small problem with basin plumbing in one ensuite and tap falling off in kitchen (seems to be routine faults in Bali). Very hard to get hot water so be prepared to settle for tepid showers. Big (15 litre) drinking water bottle cooler supplied. Staff very friendly but dont ask them to book any activities or transport for you unless you want to pay more than if you go up the street to a travel agent stall or one of the local "transport" guys. Swimming pool was very good, clean and big enough to swim laps, surrounded by timber decking. Sunlounges in good order and clean. Breakfasts supplied were good and they give 2 eggs. All other meals on there menu are ordered in from restuarants just up the laneway (pizzas good). Close to shops and heaps restaurants. Short bemo or taxi up to shopping centre. Laneway down to beach (100 metres) a bit rough and not lit at nighttime so watch your step. Absolutely value for money accomodation.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fat Yogi Cottages; City: Kuta Kuta District Bali; Review: Booked and stayed here four nights as result of reading reviews below. Airport pickup (we arrived midnight and got out of customs around 1am) was waiting for us but not obvious as there were heaps of other drivers waiting with signs. Room and bed were large though the mattress was not innerspring which bothered my partner a bit. Rooms kind of dark and no bright lights for reading. Airconditioning worked. Private little balcony nice. Bathroom near new and clean but shower tap kept falling off and you have to wait a lonnnnnnnng time for hot water to come through. Smelt like recycled water in loo? Many cracked and brocken tiles on reception floor and around pool. Dangerous and sharp, beware of bare feet. Pool lounges kinda old and weathered but generally servicable. Really sad management dont keep up with maintenance on this important area. Pool itself beautiful for swimming. Breakfast supplied was ok but toast is more like dried bits of white bread with crusts removed. Tea barely drinkable, bring your own if you want good tea, but it could be the water? Location of hotel right in Kuta with all the sounds and smells. Good pool hall across lane and heaps of bars and restaurants really close. Heaps shops close if you like that sort of thing but you do have to walk past the insistent please to purchase everytime you walk down lane to beach. Hotel staff friendly and polite. You have to ask for toilet paper and towels. Sometimes clean towels not available till late in day, some scungy looking grey things. Ok for the price but broken tiles around pool real disappointment and dangerous.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Scenic Hotel Te Pania; City: Napier Hawke s Bay Region North Island; Review: Stayed here one night but would have liked more. Town of Napier is funky and hotel is right there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ocean View Motel; City: North Beach Stirling Greater Perth Western Australia; Review: Stayed here 2 nights during business trip. I should have checked Tripadviser first. Firstly the 'oceanview' is fast dissapearing as a place is built in front. The glass sliding door to the balcony was filthy. Inside it looked ok a first glance but the fridge freezer was iced up, the water in the fridge tasted disgusting and the two little containers of milk were not replaced on my second day. There were bugs crawling across the floor. Bathroom was clean but some of the fittings were chipped and glued back together. My aircondition worked (it was in the high 30's outside) but when checking in one other guest was complaining of her aircon not working and the response was "the maintenance person was not available". On the upsided, the bed was comfortable and the tv worked.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Brighton Savoy; City: Brighton Bayside Greater Melbourne Victoria; Review: I stayed here 3 nights about 7 years ago for business and it was pretty good then. Stayed overnight again visiting on business and also think is pretty good. The hotel is positioned well, on the picturesque Esplanade between million dollar homes, across from the beach and an easy 10 minute walk to a fashionable shopping area with supermarket and plenty of cafe's in Church Street. The staff are very friendly and the dining room is sparkling. I had an evening meal and the steak was cooked as I asked (rare) but a tad cool when served. Breakfast buffet and cooked breakfast were well presented and tasty. My room was at the back but clean; some minor maintenance needed like dent in wall, chip in laminex on cabinet and table had paint missing from top. Bed comfy, bathroom spotless and big bath.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Harbourside Lodge; City: Nelson Nelson Tasman Region South Island; Review: Stayed here just one night before heading to sea. Room had a nice sized balcony and outlook over the marina. Everything was tidy and comfortable and the breakfast was cooked to order. Staff very friendly. Internet was inadequate and expensive, but this seems to be the norm in NZ accommodation. The Anchor restaurant is only a few metres away and they do wonderful meals which you can charge to your room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ocean Beach Hotel; City: Cottesloe Greater Perth Western Australia; Review: I stayed in a non-view 'executive' suite for 2 nights on business trip and was greeted at the little reception desk by a friendly person with a smile. Third floor room was huge and clean, but as you might expect, the window had a view of the building next door. This didnt bother me as I wasn't in the room during the day. The bathroom was roomy, clean, with modern fittings. The bed was comfortable without being too soft. There was a small fridge and sink but no cooking facilities apart from kettle and tea/coffee. The TV was set way back against the far wall (on the desk) from the bed and I thought this a bit odd as you had to have the sound up more than I would normally. The desk and chair were adequate and I could plug in my computer power underneath. There was a lift, but it was slow and it was quicker for me to go up the stairs. Normally I would only give 3 dot rating for this standard/age of accommodation. The building itself is reasonably old but they have kept it in pretty good shape. The main reason I loved my stay here (and gave extra dot) was the position. It is right across the road from the beach and foreshore walkway. The next door dining room and bar serves nice meals and the views from the bar are awesome. There are plenty of other places to get a variety of meals to suit all tastes. The foreshore walkway goes for ever past a variety of surf clubs and foreshore facilities and if you are an early morning run/walk kind of person you wont be alone. You can hire cycles close by if you want to ride. The local area is pretty affluent!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hidden Paradise Cottages; City: Amed Abang Bali; Review: Amed has really got a lot more busy since we were last here in 2008. Lots of new hotels, shops, and dive businesses. Hidden Paradise has been around for over twenty years and has been looked after. It still presents really well with the individual cottages spaced well away from each other in superb gardens. The sandy swimming beach is awesome and this is unique in Amed, with rocks or pebbles being typical elsewhere. The cottage itself is very spacious and the canopy bed wonderfully comfortable. Private balcony with sunlounge was our main living space. Semi-outdoor bathroom (very private) and lavatory wonderful; there is something very satisfying showering and seeing the sky. I was diving every day (Euro dive down road are excellent and I do recommend) so warm shower to warm up and clean off salt was perfect. Newish (it wasn't there our last visit, and has burnt down and been rebuilt) restaurant has small but varied menu and everything we had was tasty. Breakfasts more than adequate. Overall a special place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Palm Garden; City: Sanur Denpasar Bali; Review: 5 nights here at start of 30 day visit. Room basic but large. bed comfortable and everything cleaned each day when we went for breakfast. bathroom ok but poorly lit, as seems to be common in Bali. Pool wonderful, not cold or warm. bit of competition for sun lounges at times, probably because pool so nice for swimming. lots of sun and shade opportunities if you prefer. Beach just short walk one way and shopping/restaurants the other way. bottle shop close by and "Harrys" supermarket $1-2 taksi/bemo up the Jalang. Recommend this accommodation, good value for money.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Fourteen Roses Beach Hotel; City: Kuta Kuta District Bali; Review: We stayed 6 nights here and overall enjoyed our stay. It started less than perfect with the quilt, sheet and pillows on the bed smelling musty and unclean. I asked for fresh bedding and the first day but nothing was done, so we slept with smelly bedding. The next day I asked again and they changed the pillows, but not the bedding as they "had no clean quilts". The following day I asked again and they changed everything for sweet smelling clean bedding. No problems after that. This hotel seems to be running on a shoestring budget and where doing some room renovations while we were there. A bit noisy at times but we were out most days anyway. This hotel is right at the top end of Kuta (not really Sanur) but was perfectly positioned to walk to beach, shopping and restaurants in a few minutes. It is also down a short laneway so away from main street noise, i.e. quiet at night. The pool was terrific and great to cool off in after being at the beach. The breakfasts are simple but more than enough with eggs any way you want. The restaurant has few choises but what they have is cheap. We ate at other restaurants up the street anyway.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ocean Beach Hotel; City: Cottesloe Greater Perth Western Australia; Review: It has been a few years since my last visit to this hotel. Very little has changed. The rooms are generously sized and I scored a view of the water this time on the top floor...spectacular. Room and bathroom was clean and the heat pump delivered the goods during this cooler time of the year. A sink is supplied (kettle, mugs, teabags, coffee, milk) but there is no cutlery/crockery or provisions to cook any food. The bed comfortable without being soft. Other than the bed, the remaining furnishings are dated but still functional. Bedside tables could do with replacing or a sand and varnish. The TV is positioned (what I would consider) too far from the bed or the arm chair for comfortable viewing. As the speakers on the TV are on the back, so hear the thing clearly you have to have it turned up quite loud, which probably disturbs other guests. I moved the arm chair closer and then back into the corner at the end of my stay. We dined at the restaurant one night and all eight meals were of high quality and reasonably priced. The main bar, facing the Indian Ocean is quaint and watching the sun set with a brew is highlight of the day. It would be nice if they cleaned the windows though! There is a nice (but pricey) little diner across the road over looking the beach and plenty of other earteries and a take away a short stroll down the road. The cost of the rooms and the position of the hotel are its saving graces and I think this place is very good value for money. Personally I am not bothered by aging infrastructure, including patched plaster (unfinished) in the stair well, but others may be more fussy. If you like comfortable coastal walking then there is a well formed path with many beach access points. Seems safe, even in the dark of predawn as I encountered others heading to a morning swim (surf life saving clubs) or running even at 0530.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: 5.11 Tactical S/S Holster Shirt; Brand: 5.11; Review: I have a shirt similar to this purchased from another brand. I had great expectations considering this was coming from 5.11. The quality of this shirt is very lame. The material seems to be very lax and loose. I did order by their recommended sizing. While the shirt at first feels tight like it should, in a matter of minutes it has loosened up and your CC weapon no longer feels snug. I will keep it because I have worn it a few times but will go back to the NRA brand. I would not recommend this product.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Now that I have tried this brand, I could throw the others away and not feel bad. I honestly wouldn't do that because they are still in good shape. These are just so much more comfortable than the other brand. I will be purchasing more of these. I highly recommend this product.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

I sleep, shower, work, everything with my watch on. The band never changes color. I like the gold tones and when I say it last forever, they do. The battery life is great.

Title: Columbia Sportswear Baby Baby Boys' Chippewa III Mitten; Brand: ; Review: I thought I was ordering gloves for my toddler - to play in the snow with. I didn't understand that these mittens DO NOT have thumbs. They are truly for an infant. Seem like a decent quality glove, if you're looking for something to just cover hands with, but I'm not sure why an infant would need to have waterproof mittens if they're too small to play in the snow...; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: LifeStride Women's Xena Riding Boot; Brand: LifeStride; Review: I normally need a wide-shaft boot, so I ordered these in wide-shaft. There was about an inch and a half of space between my leg and the boot. So, I returned them and ordered the regular width. Couldn't even zip them up. Cute style, seemed to be nicely made, but funky fit...; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Reebok Women's Crossfit Sprint TR Training Shoe; Brand: ; Review: Within minutes after putting them on and walking around, my heels were constantly slipping. Didn't wear them beyond 5 minutes as I wanted them to be in good enough shape to return. They felt comfortable on my flat feet, but I didn't actually workout in them - don't think I could with the amount they were slipping in the heels.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Ahnu Women's Salena-W; Brand: Ahnu; Review: LOVE these! I have a pair of similar sandals from Aldo that I've worn with EVERYTHING for the past several years, but they have a completely flat sole - like walking on the bare ground. Recently, after wearing them for even half a day, my feet and even my whole legs hurt! Apparently I'm getting old, not to mention that I'm a teacher/wife/mom on my feet for 15 hours a day... So, I ordered these to replace my others with no support. I've worn them for 2 full days in a row and my feet and legs feel perfectly fine. Will be ordering them in every color 5 minutes after I write this review :D; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rockport Cobb Hill Women's Jada-CH Flat Sandal; Brand: Cobb Hill; Review: These are cute but not nearly as comfortable as I expected them to be given the price and brand. I wore them for 1 day and my knees hurt for 3 days - same as if I'd worn my cheap $10 sandals that are almost identical to these. I'm a teacher and on my feet for 12-15 hours a day, so I spent extra for comfort. Not worth the money. Very disappointed. Since I can't return them now, I'll be wearing them on days when I'll be sitting most of the day...; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Forever Womens Comic Print Swing Dress Vest Leggings in; Brand: Forever; Review: My daughter wore this for her Halloween costume - PERFECT for a Lichtenstein popart costume. Material is a little thin, so needed to wear leggings and a long-sleeve shirt underneath, but overall very happy with it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Northside Women's Kathmandu Waterproof Snow Boot; Brand: ; Review: Though they claim 200grams of thinsulate, that can't possibly be throughout the boot - maybe just in the leather part surrounding your calves. The soles of the boot almost instantly make your feet feel cold when you step into snow, at least in temps below freezing. The paper-thin removable insole gives zero insulation. Tried to wear them for an event that was about 2 hours in 26* weather and couldn't feel my toes for over an hour after getting back into a warm vehicle.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Hotel Gupta Inn; City: Varanasi Varanasi District Uttar Pradesh; Review: We prebooked the hotel and state in the standard room, had a separate bathroom but was not too much of an issue. Price was 700 rupees including dinner for two, which was a tasty two dishes if veg and rice, had to pay for drinks but very nice. Staff we're friendly and helpful. Only downside is the location is quite far from the ghats and Ganges riverfront and the rickshaw whallers will try and fleece you at any opportunity so watch for that. Also asked to see some rooms before I booked and was told that's our was 1000 rupees so book first, all in all great experience; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Tree Top Eco Lodge; City: Banlung Ratanakiri Province; Review: The bungalows were very beautiful and comfortable in a pretty environment. It was unfortunate that they and all the furniture at Tree Top Lodge, were all made from hard wood, from clearly once beautiful massive trees, in a now deforested area made way for rubber plantations. The staff we're friendly but didn't go out their way to help, for example we hired some bicycles (which desperately need cleaning and maintenance) and we asked for a bicycle pump, the lady said the bikes belonged to the guide and had nothing to do with her (even though she was hiring them out) and only had a broken pump. It certainly made cycling the hills very difficult that day. We also had to repeatedly ask to get information about the bus to Laos that we'd booked tickets for. The menu seemed ok but since you have to pay twice the general going rate for the same type of food plus extra for rice it's generally not worth eating there if you're on a budget.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Stay With Me Guest House; City: Chiang Mai; Review: We stayed for 3 nights. On arrival we were originally told we would be moved rooms after our first night, but they then said that wouldn't be necessary. We stayed 2 nights with no problems but then when we returned the next evening we had been moved rooms, they moved all our belongings without our permission and just packed loose items in plastic bags, telling us we had left too early in the morning to let us know. We had only left at 8:15 am. Additionally that very morning we had spoken to staff regarding some items of lost laundry therefore it wasn't evident why they couldn't have told us about a room move that morning. The evening staff member was not helpful when we asked about the lost laundry again and did not try to find out what had happened or contact the manager when I asked about compensation, she just told me to ask in the morning as the desk opens at 7am. She then laughed behind my back as I walked away. The next morning the manager was not aware of the problems with the laundry, so I just informed him of the rude evening staff and left it at that.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Manhattan Hotel; City: Harbin Heilongjiang; Review: I booked two hotel rooms on October 21, 2012 for February 2 - 5, 2013 for 558 RMB ($89.47) per room per night, but yesterday (December 26, 2012), I receive an email from the reservation booking company that the hotel has raised the price to 828 RMB ($132.76 per room per night) for Chinese New Year and will not honor the price in my reservation booking. This is after I've already received confirmation and signed the "Guarantee Reservation Letter" stating the hotel nights and the cost, and agreeing to pay a one night penalty if I cancel or don't show up. The reservation company (www.chinahotelsreservation.com) said they tried to work with the hotel for two days to keep the price in the reservation, but the hotel continues to refuse. If this is how this hotel is treating me already, I don't think I want to stay there anyway. Very dishonest business practices! There is no sense reserving a hotel room in advance, if the hotel is just going to change the price on you to make more money. Very greedy!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Harbin Sophia Church Hotel; City: Harbin Heilongjiang; Review: There are no amenities, but a tour company hangs out in the lobby of the hotel, so if you want to book a tour, you don't have to go very far. Some of the tours need to have 4 or more people in order to book with the company. Note that if your tour bus gets into an accident like mine did, you will need to find a taxi on your own in the freezing cold of February! Also note that taxi drivers in the area rarely speak any English, so be prepared! The location of the hotel is great! Walking distance to the Church of Sophia, the Zhaolin Park, and some malls/markets in the area. There is also a supermarket in the building basement nearby. The cleanliness of the room is not quite up to American standards, but it's clean enough. There is mold in some rooms under the windows and in the bathroom. You may find dust bunnies here and there. The sheets may have stains on them. If you can get past all of those things, it's a room with a bed, a shower, and a western style toilet. The room comfort is not ideal, but you take what you can get for the cost of the hotel room. The room was small and the bed was a bit hard. The most of the staff was friendly enough. Some of the staff are a bit snobbish and don't look you in the face. There is usually at least one English speaking staff member on hand to answer questions. The housekeeping staff is very friendly, but don't speak English. Whenever asking for items, we received them within a few minutes. The value of the hotel cannot be beat. It is a great location with adequate sleeping and showering conditions. Save money on the hotel, so you can enjoy the costs of the entertainment in the area. Note: if catching taxis, make sure you have the hotel information written in Chinese. Many of the taxi drivers do not know this hotel and do not speak English. I would recommend this hotel to friends trying to save money.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Orleans Hotel Casino; City: Las Vegas Nevada; Review: The hotel rooms are spacious with a queen size bed, love seat sofa, coffee table and room to move around. The room has a safe to store valuables, but no refrigerator to store food. Maid service was friendly, but I didn't really need the service. Had to call maintenance to fix a clogged drain. The maintenance person came to the room really quick, fixed the clog and left. For the casino, most of the blackjack dealers are not friendly at all, which made the game seem tedious rather than fun. I would stay there again with comps, but not sure how much I would play on the table games.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Shinsaibashi Lions Rock; City: Chuo Osaka Osaka Prefecture Kinki; Review: Booked hotel for $82.45 + $15.50 tax for one night. The room is quite small, but probably the average size for budget hotel rooms in Japan. Luckily, we didn't have luggage with us because we sent our luggage to our next destination at Kansai airport. There was a tv and a refrigerator in the small room with two chairs and a small table. It may have been hard to fit large luggage in the room and still be able to move around. The bed size was a semidouble, which was more than enough space for two of us to sleep on, but we are small individuals. The bed was comfortable enough to fall asleep with ease. There is free wifi, which we had no problems connecting to. The bathroom is really small, but comes stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body soap. The hotel provides a couple bath sponges, tooth brushes with tooth paste and some other little grooming/hygiene items. The area where the hotel is located looks a little sketchy, but Japan is a safe country, so we weren't worried about going out at night or anything. It was a quiet location with a convenience store two doors down or so. The walk to Dotonbori, the street with the food, is a little less than a 10 minute walk and easy to get to on foot, even at night. Whenever you leave the hotel, you need to turn in your hotel key to the front desk. This is not too bad since the front desk is open 24 hours and they spoke English. Overall, this is a great, inexpensive place to stay for a short period of time with small travel bags. We went there with just two backpacks.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori; City: Kyoto Kyoto Prefecture Kinki; Review: I spent four nights here for a total $757.25 (tax included). The hotel is decent and less than a ten minute walk to Kyoto Station. There is free wifi in the room with a refrigerator. The rooms are really small, but we were able to fit two large suitcases in the room. We just were not able to ask for housekeeping because there would be no space for the housekeepers to move around, let alone clean the room. The hotel housekeepers do not change the bedding everyday and in exchange, they will provide a bottle of mineral water. There was one day that I did not receive a mineral water, but I suppose they just forgot. If you have the do not disturb sign on your door, fresh towels and toiletries will still be provided to you and left outside your door everyday. Check-in time is at 3:00 pm and check-out time is 11:00 am. I had a luggage delivery service send my suitcase to the hotel and had no issues when checking in. The staff is not overly friend, but they are professional. There is a breakfast buffet option that you can purchase for 1300 yen or about $13 per person. There is also a convenience store next to the hotel, so if a big breakfast is not your thing, you can pick up something from the convenience store instead. The hardest part about staying at this hotel was the comfort of the bed. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and it was like sleeping on hard wood flooring. I couldn't sleep on my back because I could feel by back start to hurt, so I would sleep on my side instead. I could feel a bruise forming where my hip would rest on the bed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds 3D; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Not only does it get you in the feels, but it brings in new mechanics and new development to the game. I at first thought I wouldn't like it because of the 2D wall walking aspects, but it was done well and for the most part they are used to solve puzzles. Like many have said the game is easy, I only died once and that was to see what would happen when I did. At the end of the game I had maxed out money and purchased all my items. Even though we could do the dungeons in any order I found myself doing them in the order of the original game. overall it was a good game and I recommend you play it even if you never playd link to the past, but if you did play link to the past and you liked it, this game is fool of all the good feelings from that game... also you might figure out some plot twist before they happen ;); Rating: 5.0/5.0

If you're interested in getting this for someone or have never played; it's a cute dungeon crawler, you get to take a quiz to become a Pokemon, but you also have the choice of picking the one you want to play as. It's not a very hard game and it can be hand holding at first but it has some difficulty in the later dungeons. Overall I enjoy this game and this series from Pokemon and I like the new features and stories in each new installment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets - Nintendo 3DS Standard Edition; Brand: by
Ubisoft; Review: The game play is super easy and repetitive. The characters are wonderful and there quirky selves but it just barely make up for the bland game play. Absolutely no replay value, once you beat the game you can go and collect all the items you may have missed and then your done. I think all together it took about 5 at most 6 to 100% this game; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Video_Games |

Title: Ace of Fades Barbershop; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I've been a customer of ace of fades for the past year. Great cuts were always consistent. And because of that I'd tip the boys $15-$30 every time I'd come in, that was weekly. Sadly today I've been let down and will not be coming back. Simply because of the way the barber in the front of the store (not going to state names) treated my brother, who was coming in for his first hair cut of what we presumed of many, and I. Not only did we check in and was told to wait an hour, which we did in the car, then we waited another 30 minutes in the shop while watching barbers choose one customer after another to cut even though we've been waiting much longer and was told we were next. After waiting an hour and 30 minutes we left, and have no interest in coming back. Thanks.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire; Author: Visit Amazon's J.K. Rowling Page; Review: Well, I will admit it, I'm not your "little kid" :) I was glad to great my copy of the book, along with my wife, and have greatly enjoyed it. "Goblet of Fire" has finally supplanted the first book as my favorite of the series. Well written, Goblet of Fire may be what it takes to prove to non-Harry followers what the craze is all about. Offerring a great course in character growth, Ron, Hermoine, Harry, and all of the others exhibit changes as they grow another year. The introduction of "crushes" a "boy-girl dance" and a few other elements really set the stage: Harry is growing up, and things are changing. Along with this, a fantastic plot, revolving around the Tri-Wizards tournament develops, truly involving, and while the challenges are interesting into themselves, what's even better is how much we learn about each of the characters and how they handle each of the challenges. A fantastic book, and a sure fire winner for kids from 9 to 90.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Empire; Author: Visit Amazon's Orson Scott Card Page; Review: I'm somewhat surprised to see all the full reviews posted when the book has just become available. There is some great misconception here that the book plays out some sort of Republican/Democrat war with a large axe to grind. I guess I don't see that at all. Set in a fairly distant future, this book is far more about a struggle of peoples against an overly empowered entity and how things control their society and the civil war within. I find it much more congruous with say, a Science Fiction setting applied to the fall of the Roman Empire. In some areas, the book succeeds. Card's ability to write the inner monologue of a character is as strong now as it has ever been, and the way in which it is used with great effect helps define characters. That having been said, the book does have it's faults. At times the pacing seems off, and Card doesn't have a real subtext here that makes later re-reads of the book provide different meaning. The storyline is told at a fairly surface level and the way in which we think of the characters, and they think of themselves is not nowhere near as complex or thought provoking as many of Card's other works. This is a good read for the science fiction fan for the winter - it's not Card's best, but it's better then a large majority of the other stuff that's out there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Death's Daughter (A Calliope Reaper-Jones Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Amber Benson Page; Review: Sometimes you cover ground that just has seen the light of day before. I admit, as I read this book, I often found myself reminded of the works of Terry Pratchett; some of the similarities in characters are pretty shocking (if you haven't read "Hogfather" go out and get it). This book, of course, is very different from those, but so many of the concepts are so steeped in tradition that you find yourself thinking about efforts by other authors. The dialog presented at times can come across a bit whiny; however, the pacing of this book is very solid. This is a quick, single sitting read, and has some good ideas in it. As a starting writer, Benson probably needs a better editor for some of this - as just small choices in phrasing and dialog would make a world of difference to help create rising action within the book. A quick, lighthearted read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Dirty Job: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Christopher Moore Page; Review: I've long been a fan of Christopher Moore. He writes in a quick, dry style that manages to pull off being absurd at the same time as allowing you to believe the characters. While a lot of people are introduced to Moore by "Bloodsucking Fiends" or "You Suck!", A Dirty Job is, to me, his signature work. Charlie Asher, our protagonist is described by the author as a "Beta Male" a neurotic character full of self doubt and fear of the world. He's reluctantly drawn into a world which presents him a portion of a significant power.. being a dealer in the soul market. Moore manages to so effectively play the worries of a new father against the backdrop of zaniness that the novel rotates between being surprisingly touching and laugh out loud funny. Sure, that's said to often and is merely an expression, but I admit, more then once I turned to my wife and said "I cannot wait for you to read this book just to get to..." The book features such crisp volumes of dialog that it's a natural for an audiobook, and here again, it doesn't fail. Hearing "A Dirty Job" read aloud, whether it's you doing it or listening to the audio book is a great follow up once you've read the book. Moore's development of even secondary characters continues to grow the world he has built with Bloodsucking Fiends/You Suck. If you're new to Christopher Moore, and you haven't read anything, this isn't a bad place to start. Read this and then go back for others in the same setting. This book does a great job of fleshing out the real environment of all those other characters. And any book that is this good, and this quick, of a read deserves the money.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ruins (Pathfinder); Author: Visit Amazon's Orson Scott Card Page; Review: I loved Pathfinder, which I found to be a great book. Ruins, however, moves in so many different directions and has so much infighting that it's at times difficult to follow. Card has a gift for how he writes, and as a middle book I wonder if this is the "Xenocide" of this series; I say that because it comes off as a book made to glue a beginning and an end together. Years later, I've come to enjoy Xenocide, but only because I know how it plays into Children of the Mind. Ruins is likely to fall into the same place, right now I have mixed thoughts about it.. but it ended with the obvious opening for the next book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Melanie's Marvelous Measles; Author: Visit Amazon's Stephanie Messenger Page; Review: In large part to spread amongst the unvaccinated. Don't worry, Measles is benign, except for the decreased vision/retinal scarring, kidney & liver damage, shortened life expectancy and potential death. I mean, if you can put all that aside, I'm sure measles would be MARVELOUS. Can we go take a poll of the 150+ kids in Texas right now who are battling for their lives in the face of Measles and find out how marvelous they are? I'd love to hear their word choices; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Allegiant; Author: Visit Amazon's Veronica Roth Page; Review: I have seen other reviews praising this for writing style and effort, while pointing out the ending is not very satisfying. I devoured this book after having read the first two, Amazon (Audible) delivered my copies last night digitally and I was all over it today. This is one of those titles that I find very disappointing, not because the ending is not very good but because it doesn't cohesively work or build on the first two books. The beginning of this book changes location, place and mentality from the book that proceeds it causing an immediate disconnect with the reader as how we presume events will happen. The book completely puts a dead stop on events from the prior books and assumes new facts that we didn't know from them and our characters act on these unknown assumptions. This creates a disorienting and muddy narrative that never really hits home. It appears obvious that Roth didn't have a realized conclusion for this series and played it by ear which just doesn't work. I had hopes this book would surprise me, go in unique directions and hit a lot of the issues of morality and choices brought up in previous books and... it does almost none of that. This is an embarrassingly bad read that a lot of people will feel obligated to buy in order to realize the conclusion of the first two books. Too bad.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Secondhand Souls: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Christopher Moore Page; Review: Christopher Moore writes in a unique, tongue in cheek style I have always admired. His ability to interest the reader while delivering a completely zany one of a kind look at a world he has created gets me every time. While Secondhand Souls isn't as strong of a book as A Dirty Job, it's still pleasant and coming home to familiar characters is still a blast. I went ahead and checked "explicit sexual content' because of several crude - but VERY funny - jokes, but this isn't in the same category as torrid love story reads by any margins.. in fact, I don't think there is a sex scene, just lots of innuendo. If you liked A Dirty Job, definitely pick it up.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Captive Prince (The Captive Prince Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's C. S. Pacat Page; Review: This book is one of the best that I've read and among them, one of the most complex and intriguing. Let me start off by saying that I read the first two volumes online. Two years have passed and I have not revisited the series until the third volume came out. I've finished the first volume just yesterday, so let me do a comparison of what I recall of my impression of the series two years ago as compared to my impression now. Two year ago when I first came upon this series, I held it in the highest regard. It is fantastic, it is great, it is the best thing that I've ever read. The characters are intriguing, their dynamic intricate and complex, the story line so amazing as to always keep me guessing. Amazon asks what describes the mood of the series the best and the answer would always, always be suspenseful, followed by anticipatory on the reader's end. I recall two years ago that once I started reading the story online, I could not stop scrolling and clicking until I reached the end. Now, two year from then, in the present day, I did the same with the physical copy of the book. I finished it in a day and pretty much ignored everything until I did so. When I finally did, I pulled my head away from the book, closed it and went to bed way past my usual sleeping hours, only to awake the next day and repeat the same process. I'm on the second book now, so needless to say, my impression of the book two years previous and now is both very favorable. The volume is as good as I remembered. It is a known fact that stories sometimes are not as good on the second read: you notice inconsistencies, flaws, things that previously made sense but now you clearly saw didn't. You are older, more mature, you've read far more and much better stories out there. And there is some of that in here, but not in the way you would think. Fascinated and awed by the world-building and details of the story, I never noticed how odd some sentence structures of Captive Prince were (ie."'A reward.' Laurent, flatly."). Commas are use in abundant, parenthesis not often used but still more frequently than common in novels, the start of many sentences with 'and.' They weren't enough to detract from the story Captive Prince is telling, but they were jarring in the beginning. Thankfully enough, the first two fell away from usage after the first half of the book and the third, it was easy enough to grow used to after a while. While I'm on the topic, the author uses really sophisticated language often, which was distracting for me because I had the option of either 1) searching it up or 2) ignoring it. I went with the second option after a while when my anticipation made it impossible for me to continually pause in my read. So I mentioned the flaws that I; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kings Rising (The Captive Prince Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's C. S. Pacat Page; Review: First of all, I want to say that I love, love this series. I gave Captive Prince a 5-star rating and I gave Prince's Gambit the same. So why is this book, Kings Rising, the last book, the one that we most anticipated, fell short and only receive 3-stars? Personally, it might have something to do with the fact that the first two volumes were so good that we had so much expectation for the third one. The process to writing Kings Rising must not have been easy. *SPOILERS, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. ACTUALLY, DON'T READ UNTIL YOU FINISHED THE BOOK* I have issues with the whole sections near the end, starting with the Kingsmeet all the way until the end of the book. This is a little harder to describe, but I'll try my best nevertheless. Now, before I jump into it, know that I love Damen and I love Laurent, but I followed Damen throughout three books from pretty much all of his point of view, so I might just be a bit bias when I make an evaluation of him and Laurent in book three. Damen. I think he didn't live up to his full potential in this book, like maybe his character/actions were a little stunted to make room for Laurent's growth. The fact is this, and that is as much as both Damen and Laurent are fighting to regain their own throne, the antagonist of the story is not Kastor and the Regent. It's just the Regent. I feel like for the sake of letting the uncle-nephew have their battle of wits, for Laurent to finally overcome and cast aside his past, Pacat wrote Damen as a plot device more than as a developed character towards the end. The meeting at Kingsmeet should have never turned out that way. I feel like if Laurent warned Damen like he did in the book, Damen would have definitely listened or at least gave it consideration. In the book, he arrogantly didn't, something that I would have thought to be beneath him to make such a foolish mistake. In my opinion, Damen should have by now learned that 1) Laurent is always better at seeing through traps and so his words should always be at least considered and 2) the Regent is a dangerous enemy that he should be wary of because even Laurent couldn't beat him for many years. Instead, Damen foolishly and almost, dare I say, uncharacteristically ignored Laurent's words, without a pause. Laurent also annoyed me for a bit because there was a section prior to the Kingsmeet that said Laurent began sharing his plans with Damen, showing that he was opening up to Damen. Yet, later on, we see that contradicted. He didn't tell Damen of his actual plan for Kingsmeet, understandable because Damen wouldn't have agreed to it if he actually knew, which is exactly what I had a problem with. I don't understand why Laurent would ever let Damen come along to the him-for-child trade, when it was so obvious that Damen would; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Prince's Gambit (The Captive Prince Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's C. S. Pacat Page; Review: All that I wanted to say about this series is said already in my review for the first book, Captive Prince. Prince's Gambit is lovely in that it held up to all my expectation from the last book and went beyond. The way that Damen and Laurent slowly falls in love and learn to love and work with each other is absolutely beautiful. All the possible warnings that you might need for Captive Prince no longer applies in this book. The only thing to keep in mind is that this book is very military focused, because they are participating in a campaign. You don't have to understand all the military strategies to enjoy this book, although Pacat certainly took a lot of time and energy to explain what's going on and lay everything out. If I do need to tag a warning to this, it is that keep in mind that this is rated for mature audience, meaning that it will have sexual content and violence.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Foxhole Court (All for the Game) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Nora Sakavic Page; Review: This is a review for the entire series of All for the Game. It won't contain any spoiler. I just finished reading the entire series of All for the Game and it's absolutely stunning. I read that one of the reviewers said that this series is more like one long extended story and I'm inclined to agree. This doesn't take away from the series at all, but it does mean that you might want to have the next book ready when you read, because the next one picks up right where the previous book leaves off. So what is this series about? Most and foremost, to paraphrase from another character in the story, it is about "giving people one more chance than what others are willing to give, whether it's the second, third, fourth or fifth." The main character is Neil Josten, someone who had been on the run for pretty much all his life but stopped because he wanted to play a sport called Exy. He meets his team, which is made up of teenagers who have are all broken and hurt in some ways. They play Exy as a team, but their personalities constantly clash and they're just as likely to fight their opponent as they are to fight each other. This is the story of Neil finding his second chance with them and learning to trust again. If you came here only because of the M/M tag, you might want to rethink. There's no romance until the third book. Instead, it's mostly centered around sport and college life with a dab of mafia/gang/violence feel. Along with it, there's an amazing cast of characters, intriguing story line, and several mysteries to uncover regarding the characters' past. It is a joy to follow them as these broken people learn to be whole again and it's amazing how masterfully Sakavic can weave everything together. Some warnings: M/M, no romance until the third book, casual mention/act of violence/murder, drug use. Also, another reviewer mentioned it already, but the beginning of the first book, The Foxhole Court, would get a bit confusing as everyone on the team is introduced. Try to keep track of them and later in the book, you'll have no problem distinguishing them as you learn more about each individual character. Despite all these warnings, I do highly recommend this series. It is a incredible read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carry On: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Rainbow Rowell Page; Review: May contain minor spoilers. Carry On is an alright book. It's not nearly as bad as Fangirl with all the plot holes left unfinished, but it wasn't that good either. Maybe it was because I had such high expectations after reading such good reviews on it. I guess I should know better after reading Fangirl, but I just had to give Carry On a try as well. So, Carry On. Frankly speaking, there's not much specific parts I can mention about it, not because I wasn't paying attention, but because the details were mundane that they slipped my mind. Simon comes off a little humblebragger in the beginning. He talks about how much he didn't feel like being the Mage's Heir, but hey, someone has to do it and it appeared like the duty just fell down on his shoulders, so he picked it up. At the same time he tell us how dangerous being the Chosen One is and how he never intended to be one, he just regales us about all the things that he had accomplished from from all the previous years (Simon is in his 8th years now, the last year at Watford). I like Simon's relationship with Penny. It's nice to see a girl and a guy being friends without being in a romantic relationship. The problem is the story took too long to get going. We spent ~1/4 of the book covering what happened in Simon's 1-7 year, what made him special, the Mage's political scheming that everyone but oblivious Simon could see, why is Penny and Simon best of friends, the breakup of Agatha and Simon's relationship that was totally unnecessary drama if only the story started off with them not in a relationship in the first place (but hey, apparently it totally needed that love triangle thing they had going on with Simon, Baz and Agatha). There's so much information about the characters and not enough plot. Maybe if Rowell gave me the time to learn to love the characters, I could have overlooked the TMI information about the characters, but the problem is that I Don't Care. Watford seemed to be in an interesting position now, but I could have honestly done without all the unnecessary extra information. Penny also has a boyfriend she mentions frequently in America who didn't come to play at all in the story? Why? (So it's obvious that despite Penny and Simon being best of friends, they're not getting together, that's why.) A lot of people compared Watford to Hogwarts of Harry Potter, and I can see it. There's Ebb the goatherder (Hagrid), the Chosen One Simon (Harry Potter) and his rival/love-to-hate Baz (Draco, down to the prestigious family and their view that only pureblood should have access to the school). It didn't help that the setting was very similar as well. I'm going to nitpick from now on, which means spoilers, which means read at your own risk. Baz and Simon getting together: I frankly think Rowell took the easy way out here. She did a pretty; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |
