Title: Iberostar Grand Paraiso; City: Playa Paraiso Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We spent a week at the Grand Paraiso and it was excellent. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very special. We were upgraded to an oceanfront suite which was beautiful and very comfortable. All the staff at the resort were extremely helpful and friendly. The restaurants were all very good, although the gourmet restaurant was a bit disappointing compared to the others. The buffet restaurants were both excellent with plenty of choices every day and very good food. We loved the quiet pool area which was the perfect place to go after a day on the beach. The evening entertainers were very talented and the shows were worth watching. The entertainment staff came to the lobby bar in the evening and introduced themselves to the guests which was nice as we got to know them a bit better. All in all we couldn't fault this resort and had a wonderful, relaxing week.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Quesnel BC; City: Quesnel Cariboo British Columbia; Review: Room was clean but an older place. Breakfast was not good at all. Very small breakfast area and very limited choice of food. After staying at the very good Super 8 in Williams Lake this was very different. Would not stay there again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Maison D hotes Restaurant Chez L Habitant Amazigh; City: Boumalne Dades Souss Massa Draa Reg; Review: We had a wonderful stay and the owners were such friendly, courteous people. We were served dinner and breakfast on a terrace overlooking the valley and both were excellent. After dinner the owner spent time visiting with us and explaining the Berber culture which was very interesting. A beautiful place to stay - only 10km from the Dades Gorge and lovely views up and down the valley from the terrace and patio.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Grande Prairie; City: Grande Prairie Alberta; Review: Everything was good apart from the bed pillows which were not comfortable at all. The staff were very pleasant and the breakfast was reasonable. Good value for money.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wingate by Wyndham Edmonton Airport; City: Leduc Alberta; Review: Stayed one night and were very satisfied. Good value for money and very comfortable. Close to the airport. Staff were very friendly. Room was very clean and comfortable. Would recommend this hotel to anyone and would stay there again. Did not have breakfast so cannot comment on that.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Casio Women's LA-11WB-4UW Digital watch; Brand: Casio; Review: I love this watch. I use the quick timer for watching the garden water and cooking.

Title: Zeavola Resort; City: Ko Phi Phi Don Krabi Province; Review: We stayed at zeavola for 4 nights in a room with the private pool. The rooms are amazing and we loved having the huge pool to ourselves along with a separate pool room - the stuff that luxury fantasies are made from! The only issues we had was 'nature' liking the room also. The staff did their best to keep the creepie crawlies away but the reality of being in nature is that there are bugs. Make sure you eat in the beach side restaurant at the gypsie village a few minutes stroll down the beach - we ate there twice and had the best food we had in our entire Thailand trip. The spa at the resort is brilliant - we went twice. We also did the day trip snoring tour booked through the hotel - a great day on the water! All round an amazing place to stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Movenpick Resort Spa Karon Beach Phuket; City: Karon Beach Karon Phuket; Review: We stayed at the Movenpick in Feb 2011 and found it delivered on everything you would want from a resort holiday. We had a private pool so had the choice between our pool, the main swim up bar, the smaller pool or the diving training pool. We moved between them depending on our mood. The room was very well appointed although the cleaning staff would remove our half-drunk bottles of water if we left them around the room. We got good at putting them back in the fridge before we left the room. The bar at the beach side was great for evening cocktails and the restaurant had good food and an extensive breakfast choice in the buffet. We had a spa day which delivered what you would expect from this quality of resort. I would recommend that anyone stay here. You could have not left the resort if you wanted to, but being on Karon beach was a good choice over the busier Patong beach. Good for couples (get the private pool!), great for families and big enough that the two can avoid each other if you want to.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Banyan Tree Bangkok; City: Bangkok; Review: We stayed in Feb for 3 nights. Great hotel with friendly staff, good breakfast and the amazing moon bar. Being able to easily access the moon bar is reason enough to stay here. The view is amazing and the vibe of the bar relaxed. We went every night for cocktails. Get to breakfast early - it gets really busy with one morning we had to go to a second "overflow" breakfast service they had set up in one of the other restaurants. All round a nice hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shangri La s Boracay Resort Spa; City: Boracay Malay Aklan Province Panay Island Visayas; Review: Before we traveled to Boracay I did a lot of research on where to stay. The Shangri-la consistently come up number one. The only bad thing I found in the reviews was that someone once accidentally stepped into the water feature in the lobby. Having seen the water feature I now understand and having stayed at the shangri-la I now have no choice but to write a review saying its the best hotel I have ever stayed in. We had one of the villas on the hill - the view was EXACTLY the same as in their promotional photos. Our butler was Anthony who was charming if not a bit bemused by our antics (we called him katut - Australians will understand the joke). The staff were warm and friendly and quickly adapted to the fact that myself and my travelling companions were not their average honeymooning couple. The private beach was beautiful with good snorkelling directly off the beach and while we had our own pool in our villa we really enjoyed our time at the main pool and ate a lot of meals there. The room was perfect in every way. The one word of caution (in addition to the water feature in the lobby) is to ask if there is a wedding booked, or being prepared for during your stay. We had a day of pergola building and sound checks next to the pool which was really not what we wanted from our luxury holiday. That said, they managed us well when we complained. I will never forget our "movie star exit" (resulting from flight changes leading to tight transfer times to the airport) in which we got whisked through security and checkin at the airport (after checkin had closed). A fitting way to depart paradise. If you can afford this place - Go. If you can't - stop buying groceries and paying your bills, default on your mortgage and go anyway.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cooks Bay Villas; City: Vaimaanga Rarotonga Southern Cook Islands; Review: I stayed at the Cooks Bay Villas as part of a large family group in three Villas. The Villas were perfect as they gave each of us enough privacy (ensuite bathrooms and each Villa with it own kitchen/lounge) while being close enough to move easily between the three Villas. Cooks Bay Villas is more like a private resort/ boutique accommodation. The Villas are on the beach - literally. The stretch of beach that runs along the front of the Villas become our pseudo hallway and was a stark contrast to a 'big resort' which would have been our other accommodation choice for this trip. It was easy to fall in love with Cooks Bay Villas - the little details were taken care of - free snorkeling equipment and kayaks that you could take anytime you wanted, a tap to wash off the sand before you entered your villa, candles on the table, fruit platters each day. Our hosts were engaging without being overbearing and went out of their way for us on numerous occasions. The neighboring properties are houses, so it felt very private and like we had our own private beach - away from the madding crowd. I had no problem leaving personal belongings on the beach while we were swimming or kayaking - it felt very safe and private. I highly recommend Cooks Bay Villas for both large groups/families and couples.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Edge of the Bay Resort; City: Coles Bay Freycinet Glamorgan Spring Bay Tasmania; Review: We stayed in one of the Oceanview suits which was exactly as it looked in the pictures. The view across to the mountains is breathtaking - with nothing between your room and the beach other than some low bushes, it was truly breathtaking. The rooms were really well appointed and the hosts were friendly without being intrusive. We have two lovely, quality meals at the restaurant, although service was a bit slow at times. I think its a bit of a stretch to call it a "resort", but highly recommend this for couples who want to get away from the madding crowd. use it as a great base to explore the national park and make sure you check out the oyster farm down the road.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: PETMAKER Puppy Potty Trainer - The Indoor Restroom for Pets; Brand: PETMAKER; Review: This puppy pad has the best artificial grass I have ever found, it's very thick and soft. It has these drainage holes that work unbelievably well. I thought, how is this going to drain properly being so thick ? But it works very well. The only negative at all is the tray between the grass and the base. It doesn't drain properly, there was urine stuck in the plastic and not going into the limited amount of holes. I use it with pee pads under the artificial grass and on top of the bottom tray and it works beautifully. The artificial grass is worth the price alone.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: PawHut Grass Pad Dog Potty; Brand: PawHut; Review: Drains really well. The only thing I noticed that could be better is the grass that comes with it doesn't have enough drainage holes. Therfore the urine will take even longer to pass through the grass. Luckily I have other turf that has drainage holes and this drainage channel system works well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: AmazonBasics Carbon Pet Training and Puppy Pads; Brand: AmazonBasics; Review: Very good for the price, but there are better pads over all. These are a little smaller than the size they have listed and are thin. I like the thick heavy pads that are scented as well. These are good for a back up pee pad .; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: Star Trek - I Just Boldly Went Infant Snapsuit T-Shirt; Brand: ; Review: Our little guy is 9.5 months and wears this and will get to wear it for a little while longer. The shape of the onsie is a little odd, slightly wide, and not quite long enough in my opinion. But it really doesn't change whether or not we would buy it again. It's soft and comes clean easily.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Champion Men's Long-Sleeve Double-Dry Performance T-Shirt; Brand: ; Review: My husband is 6' 3" and 235lbs and struggles to find long-sleeve shirts that comfortably fit him. These sleeves are 1/2 - 1 inch longer than they need to be, but that's a much better problem than being too short! Too short is usually a very big problem.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mordenmiss Women's Irregular Printed Patchwork T-Shirt Dress with Pockets; Brand: Mordenmiss; Review: I will start with saying I'm almost 8 months pregnant, and 5 foot 9 inches tall. I was hoping this could be a formal dress, it wasn't long enough for me to wear heels so it lost a star. But it was perfect with flats and I kept the dress and wore it to a more casual wedding. The fabric is super comfortable, and the sleeves stayed put (I was worried with the deep v neck line in both back and front they would slide offy shoulders). I'm not very busty and didn't have a problem with cleavage, but if someone did, a well placed safety pin would suffice.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ouman Sweetheart Bridesmaid Chiffon Prom Dresses Long Evening Gowns; Brand: Ouman; Review: This dress ships from China, FYI. It shipped much quicker than I anticipated. I bought an extra large since I was 38 weeks pregnant and attending (as well as reading at) a formal wedding. I had a very tight budget and knowing I likely wasn't going to wear the dress again, the $33 price tag was perfect. At 38 weeks pregnant I was 170lbs (prepregnancy I am about 135), and 5' 9" tall. The length was perfect for me, I was able to wear slight heels, the dress might have been slightly long. But I did just fine walking around, going up stairs was the only thing I had to be aware of. I had the side seams taken in an inch or two to snug the dress in. After wearing the dress for 10 min, I decided the stays were too intrusive and was able to snip them out very very easily. The dress is so simply made I didn't have to remove any other seams or stitching to get to the inner lining. I counted this as a plus. I had so many compliments from everyone, even complete strangers. Someone even told me I was the most beautiful person there! (I assume they just hadn't seen the bride yet!). The dress was comfortable (once I removed the stays around my pregnant belly), it was super flowy and light.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Acacia Ridge Motor Inn; City: Port Augusta South Australia; Review: I stay here at least once every year for the last 5 and will continue to. Has changed owners in that time but both are just as friendly. My vehicle and trailer are always welcome and secure. I like the distance from town, about a 25min walk round trip so good way to stretch the legs. Brekkie is great. Been a while since I've eaten dinner or stayed with multiple people so probably not the best reviewer for those (grub was great and rooms were fine with my work mates).

Star and garter isn't a pretty pub by any stretch of the imagination. The variety of beers on tap harks back to the old days of Kal but pleased they have both varieties of Fat Yak on tap. Little did we know how great the Italian at Mama's would be! $10 pasta night on Monday is the best value for money in Kal. Period. Used to include salad bar but I think we were sending them broke. Now it's a $5 option which is still very reasonable but most people would be filled from their meal alone so probably wouldn't need it. Any other day pastas start at $15 so still good value. 6 different pasta types and plenty of toppings to choose from (i have had the Peacatore and the Salmon Salsa Rosa and been very satisfied, especially for $10 on Monday!). Pizzas are good too, traditional flavours not like takeaways. The shining light however is their desserts. Around the table we treated ourselves one night to a panna cotta or a creme brule or the sticky date. Probably the best decision I've ever made in Kal. The wine list is ok too and beers are served next door but the staff will get them for you so you don't have to venture over. The wait staff have been a little hit and miss. Have had some really lovely ones, just a younger less enthused woman one time springs to mind. Overall if you can excuse the scenery of the Star and Garter then you are in for a real treat at Mamma Mia's and if you go on a Monday you'll have a full stomach and a suprisingly still full wallet.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Barcaldine Country Motor Inn; City: Barcaldine Queensland; Review: It had been 4 years between visits and I still would recommend staying here. Having foxtel is a bonus and the location is more convenient compared to other places as you head out of town towards Blackall. It's only a short stroll down to the pubs yet far enough away that you won't get any noise from the revellers. Otherwise you could always just eat/drink at the restaurant here (I haven't but it looked nice and the menu had the usual hearty options). Guess the downside would be the noise of truck brakes as they pull up to the corner which would make the location not so convenient if you're a light sleeper. Parking undercover in front of your room is adequate for standard vehicles but if you have any modifications like roof racks or aerials it might be a tight fit. Both times I've parked a vehicle around the corner (once cos of a trailer, the other cos it was a truck) and had no issues with burglary/vandalism etc. I will definitely continue using the country club for my accommodation in Barcaldine; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shakespeare Hotel; City: Barcaldine Queensland; Review: So what started off as being just dinner and a couple of beers ended up being a fair session at the Shakey. Out of the 4 pubs this was the only one with diners and it didn't take us long to see why. Firstly the meals are very good value and pretty good quality. Both of us were very happy with our steaks. There's not much of a selection of beers on tap but there is Lazy Yak so that'll keep those who are sick of XXXX or VB happy. What was impressive was the range of Bundy products cos turns out the owner loves his Bundy (as do most Qld'ers) and he was more than happy to have a chat about them. So the owners hosted my mate and I for the rest of the night and they were both very accommodating. They pointed out that they're a little bit too old to be managing the hotel but the previous couple who had the lease were doing an ordinary job and wanted out of the lease. They've taken it on again and are doing a good job. We got chatting about Barcaldine and The Shakey and it was the most welcome I have felt in a country pub for a long time. I'll definitely return to The Shakey next time I'm in Barcaldine.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Leichhardt Accommodation; City: Mount Isa Queensland; Review: As a FIFO worker, this was the best donga type accommodation I have ever stayed in. Think on par with the reserved rooms for the big wigs out onsite. Double bed, bathroom, a generous sized fridge, kitchen sink and a microwave. Other facilities include a suprisingly good gym, great pool and a dining hall mess room. Downsides would be the size of the basin in the bathroom (you'll have to shave in the shower) and the new wifi system was down. Otherwise for donga type accommodation this is a very impressive setup. There was enough parking for us and if you're a dog person and/or a geology enthusiast then you're in for a treat at reception.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Billabong Roadhouse; City: Denham Western Australia; Review: I hope my review encourages more people to stop in as the roadhouse was better than I was expecting. I am reviewing the roadhouse, pub and donga accommodation. Pros- very friendly staff and owners Lunch and breakfast options at the roadhouse (Vietnamese rolls, filo pastries and museli with fruit and yoghurt) Dinner meals at the pub Rooms are only $70, plenty of parking and couldn't hear any road noise Cons- bit of a bore or septic smell from bathroom and could smell the smoker from next door Couldn't get any channels on my tv Dinner meals from the roadhouse were average (my Mongolian lamb was just chops with kan tong sauce but the steaks looked ok) Flies are bad but can't help that; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Daytona Beach Resort and Conference Center; City: Daytona Beach Florida; Review: The resort was absolutely wonderful. The biggest downside was the lack of hot water for a bath or simply for washing dishes. The management said it was due to the fact that the condo section was pretty vacant . They said to let the water run and that should fix the problem. We let it run 3 hours and just got it about 96. So when we complained again then they said it was because the water heater had been moved to the hotel side - but then they adjusted it and were excited that it got up to 100 degrees. Barely enough to wash in. But the staff tried their best under the circumstances. I would definitely stay there again and hope they rectify the problem. It is clean, safe, and in a great location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Neptune Hollywood Beach Hotel; City: Hollywood Broward County Florida; Review: We thought it could not get any better being situated right on the boardwalk, steps from the ocean, however, the hotel was definitely lacking in some ways. Reading previous reviews I would disagree on some of the points. First off, no phone in your rooms - you are supposed to use your cellphone. Now they were good in letting us use their business phone in the office, as long as the call was brief, and we could call anywhere in the world for no cost, but it didn't make up for lack of privacy. Secondly the kitchen was not properly stocked. We had to have housekeeping go from room to room to scrounge up another steak knife as there was only one, plus there were no knives at all for cutting bread or chopping vegetables or meat, not even a potato peeler or wine corkscrew. Now if this is an efficiency unit, one would expect to find the necessities to prepare a meal. The teflon frying pan left teflon bits in your eggs when you scrambled them. Apparently you were supposed to buy your own paper towels, salt and pepper. They do not even supply kitchen cloths to wash the counters with. But there was a sponge/pot scrubber left for us on the 3rd cleaning day. The bathroom did not come with a hair dryer but you could request one from the office. I don't know if I chose the wrong time for a shower, but most of the time the water was not hot, however my husband timed his better and had no issues. Again they did not supply face cloths, just hand towels and bath towels. Strange. The units are advertised as tastefully furnished and they aren't - the bed did squeak when sitting down but it provided a good sleep. The staff for the most part were really awesome. You receive room cleaning 3 times a week and they did do a good job. The pool was decent sized and there were nice loungers by it. Out front are anti-gravity chairs and being exposed to the ocean, unfortunately they are rusting, and can stain your light coloured clothes. I used a towel when I sat and it worked well. Continental breakfast consisted of coffee or tea, milk, bananas, cheerios, pastry was little debbie pastries or dinner rolls and I think I saw english muffins once. If you go in pre-warned in terms of expectations of what your unit actually contains and you are not planning to cook in your unit then you will not be disappointed. With Margaritaville opening up on the boardwalk and the other new construction jobs planned, I would imagine these older hotels will soon be swallowed up and replaced which is unfortunate. If this were not located directly on the boardwalk at the beach I would say this was a 3 star hotel, but location is everything. Because of the location we enjoyed our time there. Would we go back - probably not. But the price was great. If you give it a thumbs up; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: La Quinta Inn Columbia SE Fort Jackson; City: Columbia South Carolina; Review: Not at all impressed with this hotel. I know they have begun renovations on the swimming pool but the money would be better spent on improving the quality of their beds and linens. If you like sleeping on concrete then the bed is perfect for you. The linens were coarse on your skin. The air conditioning unit rattled every time it cycled on - admittedly we did not know until bed time and were too tired out to change rooms. I did notify staff in the morning and they were most apologetic but we were still way overcharged for the room. Other La Quinta's cost a lot less and are far superior.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: La Quinta Inn Suites Florence; City: Florence South Carolina; Review: The room was clean and the beds were comfortable but shocked to see the hallways not vacuumed.

Title: Motel 6 Venice; City: Venice Florida; Review: The lobby staff were awesome - they are pet friendly - but stay elsewhere if you want a comfortable sleep.

Definitely needs major renovations.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: VCA PetMed Animal Hospital; City: Antioch, TN; Review: About a month ago my dog Greighson Andrew blew out his ACL and surgery is mandatory for this kind of injury. My regular vet stated he did not have the training to do the surgery and referred us to a specialists. I had two concerns about that; first, a specialist was going to cost us at least $2000 for this surgery and second, I did not want to send my "kid" to a complete stranger. I remembered a friend of mine's dog had just had this same surgery; blowing out one's ACL is apparently very common in the canine community. She had taken her dog to Dr. Mark Girone at PetMed and the surgery went beautifully. And it didn't cost her $2000. So I called them and set up a consultation. I was very impressed by the thorough explanation of both surgeries (the one they did at PetMed and the one they did at a specialist's). Dr. Girone explained the process for both so that I could make an informed decision. I was very impressed by the way they treated Greighson and the kindness and concern they portrayed about the entire situation. When your kid is hurt and you're facing an expensive surgery it's very stressful. Kindness and concern is much appreciated in these situations and I was very grateful for it. We decided to have Dr. Girone do the surgery which went well and although Greighson has had an extended recovery time due to the extent of injury he did to his knee all is going well. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Mark Girone, Laura (vet tech) and Amy (vet tech). When Greighson first went to PetMed he was scared and upset. Now he loves going there. He gets so excited to see Laura - who he thinks is his girlfriend - and even gives kisses to Dr. Girone when he sees him. Seeming my "kid" this happy and excited lets me know they are good people and makes all the difference in the world. I went to PetMed for one surgery, but ended up finding a new vet for our fur kids. I am truly so grateful that I listened to my friend and took Greighson to see them for his surgery. Much thanks and gratitude to Dr. Girone, Laura and Amy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Action Spine & Joint; City: Nashville, TN; Review: I had problems with my neck and put it off and put it off and put it off until I drug my self to the chiropractor. BEST THING I EVER DID FOR MYSELF. First let me say that the staff is amazingly friendly and kind. They truly make you feel not only welcome, but as if you're best neighbor or a good friend. Love all of them. The machines and roller tables they use are absolutely wonderful and sometimes I have to remind myself that I am not at a spa; I'm actually getting my back fixed :) And then there is Dr. Bearden and Dr. Josh. Love them. Not let me just say Dr. Bearden scared me to death the first time I met him. It's intimidating to have someone hold your head in their hands and then adjust your neck. It still scares me sometimes, but the relief is immediate and amazing. Just amazing. I am eternally grateful for his help and cannot believe how much better I feel. As I write this I am absolutely cognizant of how much pain I used to be in. Pain that I was so used to having, pain I was so accustomed to living with I did not realize how much pain I was in. Until it started disappearing. Most. Amazing. Feeling. Ever. Since starting a treatment plan with Dr. Bearden, Dr. Josh and staff I... sleep more soundly and through the night do not wake up in the mornings in pain have more energy am less stressed feel "lighter" stand up / sit up straighter exercise more (more energy/less pain) have lost the pain in my entire back/neck/shoulders. I thought neck/shoulder/back pain was just due to age and I thought well, I'm getting older, pain is part of that right? No. I feel better than I have since I was 18 and I'm beyond thrilled.

Title: Prince's Fences; City: Brentwood, TN; Review: We were familiar with Prince's Fences from our previous neighborhood so we had seen the quality of work they do first hand. That coupled with their bid being way under others made the decision process easy for us. I loved the professional yet personal service we received throughout the entire process and our fence is just BEAUTIFUL! Chuck Prince answered all my phone calls and questions with patience and courtesy. The crew that installed our fence was professional, courteous and very fast. They did an excellent job and did it quickly which was much appreciated as we have three dogs. They cleaned up our yard after the build and before our final bill John came by our home to personally ensure we were happy with the final product. We are just thrilled all around with the entire process and experience!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Louis Vuitton Nashville; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Consumer Beware! I purchased a $2000 Artsy bag at this store two months ago. A few days ago I realized that the canvas had split at one of the pleats in the bottom of the bag. It is obviously a manufacture error/defect so I took it back to the store. The manager (Rebecca McConnell) was extremely dismissive and accused me of cutting my bag myself. At no point had I asked about returning my bag for a refund so I'm not sure why she would have thought I would damage it on purpose. Rebecca offered no resolution other than that she would take pictures and send them to the warehouse, but that "they aren't going to do anything anyway." Now it must be noted that while I was in the store the associate I bought the bag from advised me that there had been problems with the bag I purchased and Rebecca acknowledged this as well. So how do tell a customer that you are going to offer no solution when there is a clear manufacture defect and you know that the product has a history of defects. A formal complaint has been filed with Louis Vuitton and I am awaiting a response from them before filing a formal BBB complaint. But the lack of customer service/support at this store is deplorable and shameful. I will never buy another LV bag from this store because the lack of customer support is atrocious.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Value Vet; City: Hermitage, TN; Review: Good Morning, I work in this horrible office where they use those completely inhumane sticky glue traps for bugs. As this is Middle Tennessee and it's the fall, little field mice are creeping into the building and getting stuck on these awful traps. Today is the second time I have had to take one of these mice stuck to one of those awful traps to the Hermitage Value Vet to be saved. And I cannot thank them enough. It is an awful feeling to find one of these tiny creatures stuck to a sticky pad like that. Their pain and suffering is palpable. We always think of mice as dirty little rodents that carry disease, but when you find one writing and suffering in pain like that it's a totally different story. I truly would be heart broken had it not been for the help of the vet and vet techs at Value Vet Hermitage and I cannot thank them enough for their help. Mouse one, now Jack White, is a pet now. They told me if I released him he would die because he was too little. He has a huge house now and is doing well. Mouse two, now John Wayne, is at our house recuperating. Once he is feeling better we'll take him to the park and set him free. I attached pictures so you can see how cute they are :) Please relay my sincerest gratitude to the staff at the Hermitage location; they were truly wonderful and I will forever be grateful for their kindness. Sincerely, Jenna Krabacher; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Fermenting vol. 2: Fermented Beverages (Volume 1); Author: Rashelle Johnson; Review: This book is small and straight to the point, it also got hyperlinks so you can easy jump to the place you want. And most importantly it's got good selection of simple and easy to follow recipes. They include kefir, kvass, kombucha, and then some. So if you like any of those or would like to try some or just looking to save money this book is for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Journey into Consciousness: One Womans Story of Spiritual Awakening; Author: Visit Amazon's Shelly Wilson Page; Review: This book is incredible. It is very easy to read and most importantly understand. You can feel how much author really knows, but she is not trying to teach you or force her truth on you. She is gentle and encouraging, sympathetic and authentic. The book is also full of tools to really help you further in your journey. It has meditations, reading list and tons of great advice. It's definitely a must read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Essential Skin Care Secrets For Beginners: Simple Homemade Recipes with Essential Oils for Natural Beauty and Glowing, Radiant Skin; Author: Visit Amazon's Fiona Summers Page; Review: I absolutely love natural handcrafted skin care and I have been studying the subject for a while now, I have learned about herbs, essential oils, extracts, tinctures, clays, hydrosols, but I am far from an expert and I seek knowledge all the time. That is why I got this book, but it's short and very limited, it does not go in too much detail, which could be ok for a total beginner. But what I did not like about this book at all was the fact the she suggests using mineral oil as a base oil in one of her recipes. Aren't we trying to avoid mineral oil even in commercial skin care? It's made from the same type of oil as gasoline, it clogs your pores and it's just plain bad. Baby oil is not good for babies for the same reason and I learned it from a dermatologist, when my son had a rush caused by Pampers. Anyhow, this review is getting way too long. I hope it helps some of you.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results; Author: Visit Amazon's Gary Keller Page; Review: Very straight forward and concise book.

Title: Hotel Des Voyageurs; City: Bordeaux Gironde Nouvelle Aquitaine; Review: We stayed here with a friend. We spent most of our time in Bordeaux centre either meeting other friends or sightseeing. Very convenient for tram and nice walk across the bridge to get there. Owners very nice and helpful, although didn't speak English. Rooms a good size and all very clean and tidy. A lot quieter than staying in the centre of Bordeaux!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Leigh House; City: Bradford on Avon Wiltshire England; Review: We've just spent 3 days at The Barn, which is part of Leigh House. We were welcomed by the owner with a plate of home made scones, clotted cream and jam. Delicious! The owners were very helpful when we needed them. There were 11 of us in our party, 3 of which were very young children. The place is beautiful and the bedrooms huge, and very comfortable in comparison to places we have stayed in before. Each bedroom having its own en suite was also nice to have. The living/dining area was also very spacious. The kitchen is very well stocked with high quality equipment, which made our Sunday roast easy to prepare. Unfortunately we didn't spend much time in the games room but a few of us popped over to play a couple of games of table tennis. It's a lovely huge area. There is a Sainsburys about 10 mins drive. The place is very close to Bath and all it's attractions. It's perfect for large groups, people with children (even very young ones) and any group that are looking for a quiet place to stay, yet close to other amenities. Perfick!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Fioroni; City: Bellagio Lake Como Lombardy; Review: We stayed here for a night. The room was comfortable and the breakfast substantial! There is free parking on site and the centre of town is about a mile away (this is a bit hilly). A word of warning, our satnav took us round the town before we gave up and googled it instead!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel La Locanda; City: Stresa Lake Maggiore Piedmont; Review: Tucked away, this hotel is a few minutes walk from Stresa but, is ideally positioned just off the beaten track. The room was comfortable and authentic and the breakfast provided was good. They served decent tea (not important to everyone but it is to us!). There is parking available and we would recommend that people consider this hotel as an alternative to the more expensive options on the lake front.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Engadina; City: Como Lake Como Lombardy; Review: We chose this hotel as it was only a short walk to the centre. The hotel staff were very welcoming (they allowed us to check in at 11am). The bed was comfortable and we had a good nights sleep. The only two downsides are very limited parking and limited breakfast (the breakfast room itself is small and we had a wait to be seated, but this wasn't an issue and wasn't for long).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel degli Oleandri; City: Sirmione Province of Brescia Lombardy; Review: This is a lovely authentic hotel in the historic centre of Sirmione. The owners are lovely welcoming people. There are only a couple of reasons we felt unable to give full marks and these both relate to a staff member. The night we stayed there was an enormous storm and we had a room facing the lake. We didn't realise how bad the storm was until it started pouring down underneath the window. We then pulled the reckers down and mopped up. We were not upset by the weather. We do appreciate these things happen, but when we felt we should tell a member if staff the problem he was rather aggressive, accusing us of leaving the window open. We only wanted to point out the building had sprung a leak, we had mopped up, we didn't want to demand another room, we just would like a fresh towel. The second reason involved the same member of night staff. Due to medication, I suffer badly in the heat. Before travelling, I had checked all 6 hotels we were staying in to make sure we had aircon. However, we couldn't make it go lower than 22 degrees. We mentioned this to the staff member who dismissed us with a comment that oh yes, because it's not that warm we limit the temperature to 22 degrees. End. I was so angry and felt very belittled, but didn't mention to the owners the following day as I thought it may have been a language issue.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Visconti; City: Cardano al Campo Province of Varese Lombardy; Review: We came to Italy to drive and stay around the Lakes and stayed in 6 different hotels in 10 days. Hotel Visconti is a wonderful hotel. The rooms, reception are spotless and spacious, breakfast is plentiful and the lady owner is amazing. She makes such an effort to make you feel welcome and her English is very very good. There are a couple of good restaurants nearby too, as we were worried as it is in a residential area. We stayed here 2 nights as we wanted to explore Milan at the end of our holiday. In all, we did 2 day trips to Milan. The lady owner runs a free shuttle service to and from the airport. For a small charge (which we by no means begrudge!) she dropped us off and picked us up in the evening after our days in Milan. The shuttle to the airport for our flight was, as I said free. Although only 2 or 3 kms from the airport, we know for a fact that each trip would have cost us €20 at least in total, so as far as I'm concerned, I would rather give money to the friendly, lovely lady owner than to a grumpy taxi driver!!! If you are flying to Milan Malpensa, this is DEFINITELY the place to stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Bel Sito; City: Cisano Bardolino Province of Verona Veneto; Review: Stayed here for 2 nights over our wedding anniversary. Just across road from the lake, breakfast good selection, rooms clean, owners lovely and helpful. We also had a balcony with lake view. Only reason we gave 4 not 5 is small bathroom and shower tiny (we are not slim people!). However the shower is brilliant so we see no particular reason to complain. Would definitely recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Reading Centre; City: Reading Berkshire England; Review: Stayed here for 1 night. Room was clean, staff were helpful and price very reasonable. It's very close to all amenities and a nice quiet room. Buffet breakfast was £8 each and although you can get cheaper breakfasts elsewhere we thought it perfectly adequate and convenient. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Roebuck Inn; City: Wickham Hampshire England; Review: It was a horrendous day, pouring with rain, but that didn't stop us having a great homemade lunch. The pub was very comfortable and with a log burner going we could have stayed all afternoon. Staff very friendly and the menu has something for everyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: B B Catillo; City: Tivoli Province of Rome Lazio; Review: My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights to explore Tivoli before we met the rest of our party in Umbria. We were late checking in and had no cash on us when we did so (B&B only takes cash). Michael was very helpful and never moaned about our predicament and even accompanied my husband to the parking area. Although it was quite late, he even gave us a map and told us of the places to visit, including good restaurants to eat at. The place is spotless and beautifully done. The rooms are very large as are the bathrooms. The shower is great and doesn't go hot and cold like some places. I was a little worried as I suffer in the heat, but the rooms have ceiling fans and we had this going all night, which kept me lovely and cool (and my poor hubby freezing!), so we didn't need to shell out extra to have air con. The breakfast is adequate consisting of fruit, yoghurt, croissant, toast and tarts. A typical Italian holiday breakfast. I'm sure if you have special dietary requirements that they would accommodate you if known in advance. We found Tivoli is lively during the day but quiet at night, so slept like logs with very little noise, and we had the windows open. Free wifi too. It is perfectly located to explore all the attractions of Tivoli and I would definitely reconmend a stay here. We booked through booking.com and got E50 knocked off the price. Happy hols!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Laimer Hof; City: Munich Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: The hotel is easy to find and conveniently located to access central Munich in a short tram ride. The staff all speak excellent English and were very welcoming and helpful. The useful tips provided about tram tickets probably saved us a fortune! The breakfast is substantial and the beds very comfortable - we would not hesitate to stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Munich.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Carlton a Joie de Vivre hotel; City: San Francisco California; Review: We spent a very pleasant 2 nights here. The hotel was clean, the staff friendly, reasonably central to where we wanted to be, bed comfortable and large room. Breakfast was good too. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Ballet Body Signature Series Lower Body Workout; Brand: Leah Sarago; Review: This is very challenging workout). I was pretty sore the next day ( glutes especially) I had to take breaks and modify a few of the moves as my knees are pretty weak due to previous injuries.

Title: When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads, Revised Edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara Luke Page; Review: Overall I really liked this book. I liked the information about protein and the importance of rest. I loved the baby foot prints and looked at them often. I was not always able to meet the protein recommendations, but I did more than what I would have, and I think it helped. I drank protein powder drinks the last few weeks. In the end -- my babies were born at 37 1/2 weeks, weighing 6 pounds 1 ounces and 6 pounds 5 ounces. I am 5 feet 3 inches tall, so this was a lot for me. But -- I felt kind of like a loser b/c in the book the "good moms" have 7 or 8 pound babies. But now (6 months later) I just feel lucky to have healthy babies, and happy I was able to carry them so long and that they had a solid birth weight, and I do think this book helped me. It helped me take my pregnance seriously, too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Legacy; Author: Visit Amazon's Cayla Kluver Page; Review: I loved this book and am really sad there is not a sequel yet! I like the writing. I really like the fact that we seem to know more about Alera than she seems to know about herself. It is not quite George R.R. Martin (my fave) but it is not too easy, and characters do not strike me as cookie cutter. I like the gender stuff, it is not too heavy-handed, and it is important to the plot, not "just" random to put forth the author's political views. I do disagree with the review that bashes the writing. The writing is good! Usually I am disappointed in this genre, only really liking George R.R. Martin, but this book does make me want to find more fantasy/romance type books, if only they will not suck.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Magic School Bus Sees Stars: A Book About Stars; Author: Nancy White; Review: Well -- I have not read this book, I am shopping. But I must comment about all the people whose kids are 4 and only like the original series. My son is almost 5, and the original series is at too high a level for him. He is interested in the books but can't understand them. We have had some level 2 readers (Magic School Bus) from the library and he has done well listening to them. Anyway -- I think it's great they have some books in this series written on a lower level, for kids like mine. His listening level is really never above anything that is labelled "RL 2" aka written on a second grade reading level.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Magic School Bus in the Arctic: A Book About Heat; Author: Joanna Cole; Review: My son is 4.5 He loves this series, it is about all he reads (has read to him) for now. (These and the level 2 readers.) These books are very formulaic and they are funny (but no word play or puns), they are also fast moving. It is a compliment that they are formulaic, by the way, that is one of the things my son loves. In some I think the science concepts are high for his age, but at least it is a first exposure. I always think he gets 2 or 3 good vocabulary words from them. The science concept in this book is perfect for him though, and he just loved reading it and getting it. It is about how we stay warm and what things can keep us warm.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bad Bears in the Big City: An Irving & Muktuk Story; Author: Visit Amazon's Daniel Pinkwater Page; Review: My son is 5, and he loved this book. We had to stop in the middle, and he was very anxious for me to finish reading it (unusual for him). He likes stories about kids or animals who are naughty, and this is a great one. We are checking every story book by this author out of the library, and they are all favorites!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Shut-Down Learner: Helping Your Academically Discouraged Child; Author: Visit Amazon's Richard Selznick Page; Review: I picked this book up at the bookstore and I am very pleased with it. I am now looking into seeing about some of the other books about visual learning styles. I highly recommend the book Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz for anyone with a "type 1" student in reading. Overall I come away with a commitment to helping my son improve his vocabulary. He is a maybe dyslexia, maybe ADD kid, and I have used remedial reading programs with him. I have not used it beyond Level 1, but Barton is a popular choice for home use, for anyone with a "type 1" student.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Verbal Behavior Approach: How to Teach Children with Autism and Related Disorders; Author: Mary Barbera; Review: My son has been doing therapy with this approach for about 5 months. What a helpful book! For the first time -- I feel I really understand all the terminology, especially functional analysis and transfers. I kind-of knew what they were from seeing my son's therapy but now I understand it better. I also really like the section explaining the differences between VB and Lovaas. I have been confused b/c of not seeing my son doing things I have read about, but then knowing, well, he is doing ABA. It explains the importance of pairing and mands. I have been "told" these are important but not had it really "explained why." Now I feel so fortunate my son's therapist uses this approach!!!!! It is working so well for him!!!!! I have also "seen" the VR re-inforcement, the freebies, the mixed in easier things with hard things, the zero-second prompting for errorless learning ----- and kind-of wondered "is this normal? is this necessary? is this the best way to do this?" And with the explanation -- I can see how it fits together. I really like this book!!!!!! And I like how this type of tutoring has helped my son and improved our family life every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chaos to Calm: Discovering Solutions to the Everyday Problems of Living with Autism; Author: Visit Amazon's Martha Gabler Page; Review: This is a very good book. My son has been doing token boards for a little while, and we are using a clicker to mark some things he does, where it is hard to give him the token at just the right moment. Like, he is working on playing Candy Land, and it helps him to understand to stop at his color. (He likes to pause at the right color and then keep going sometimes, and sometimes he hesitates before he has gotten to his color -- now he knows we will click when he is at just the right place.) It is an easier marker for him sometimes than other ways we have to show we really like what he is doing. Especially when he is not right next to someone. I see many times, that he starts to do something well, when we want him to do something without anyone right next to him, but he doesn't do it all the way to the end (to get a token or piece of candy). But then how do we shape it???? This will let us re-enforce some beginning steps to shape behavior. Honestly we have only used it for Candy Land so far, b/c somehow (oddly enough) my son has just made a big improvement in "come here" and looking towards me from a distance when I call his name. But I wish I had had it 6 months ago as a tool! I am looking for more times it will be helpful to us. My son's therapist is interested, too, she likes it. I have not brought it up at pre-school yet, but I am going to at his parent-teacher conference. I think it could help him with walking in line independently. I did not feel totally comfortable with the method without talking to my son's therapist (who said we could use it with a token board or piece of candy, which I am familiar with) and also I looked at a Karen Pryor book from the library. I think I just needed to see it from some different directions and then I understood it more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Littlest Elf; Author: Visit Amazon's Brandi Dougherty Page; Review: We got this from the Scholastic book order form a couple of years ago, and it is one of my daughter's favorite Christmas books.

Almost time to pull it out again for this year :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Reaching the Animal Mind: Clicker Training and What It Teaches Us About All Animals; Author: Visit Amazon's Karen Pryor Page; Review: I thought this was an interesting book, and I liked the stories about the animals. But, I recommended it to someone today, because I think it has the best section about shaping of anything I have read. I mostly read parent manuals about autism or ABA therapy, and shaping may be included, but it will not be explained in detail, or it will not be clear why it is important, or maybe there is just not a catchy story to go along with it. But I really like that about this book. It has been helpful to me. I also like how the examples are of things that are not about children or autism, so I get a more general idea of how to use it, not just related to a specific skill.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: KONG Dodo Bird Dog Toy, Assorted; Brand: KONG; Review: This is my Doberman / German Shepherd mix's favorite toy, by far. We have had it over a month, and it is still intact even though it gets more playtime than any of the others. It's a fabric toy, so I'm not expecting indestructible, but if any plushie is going to last with your dog, my bet is on this one. (The other Kong plushie said didn't last as long as this one). I just ordered more for that eventual day when she breaks this one open and it becomes ball toys instead of a plushie.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Latch'nVent - Pet Access Control Interior Door Prop. Dog Proof Cat Litter or Food with Easy Cat and Adult; Brand: Symphatics; Review: This is the perfect solution to keeping my cats, my dogs, and me comfortably coexisting. The cats get privacy for the litter boxes, with no concern that a dog will barge in on them (same for their eating spot). I still have regular use of the door/doorknob. I guess the dogs might wish it was never invented, though. :) So, the good: - Easy installation, a couple of screws to remove and put back in, and a single new hole to drill - Holds door in place; it won't open further, nor will it close further when latched - Easy to open door; just turn the doorknob as you normally do to open it - Reasonable choices for how wide the opening is when the door is "shut": 2", 3", or 4" - Easy to remove if you want the door to close all the way and latch - Sturdy - I got my first one 9 months ago, and it is well-made Wish list for improvement - I'd rather not drill that single hole, but I also don't want to sacrifice sturdiness or ease of use for this! Easy to fill with putty if I decide to remove someday. Note that if you're using it to keep animals separated, they must be different sized creatures. If both your cat and dog fit through the same sized crack (in whole inches), then this won't help you. My cats are a little overweight, but they are far narrower than my Doberman mix and Bassett mix, so this is perfect for us. Also, don't underestimate your animals ability to squeeze through a small opening. If you have any doubt, do some testing by holding the door a certain width and tempt them with something great on the other side.

It was tasty enough to use as her usual training treat.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: StarMark Treat Dispensing Pickle Pocket for Dogs; Brand: StarMark; Review: This toy doesn't really dispense the treats... Even my puppy's small kibble just gets stuck in it. It's an ok chew toy, but getting food out is way too much trouble, so we never stuff it any more.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Doggone Good Rapid Rewards Deluxe Dog Training Bag with Belt; Brand: Doggone Good; Review: Nice treat pouch. It carries a lot without being cumbersome. It has a large compartment for treats or a ball, with a smaller separated space for higher value treats. There is a convenient pocket made just for waste bags.

Title: NaturVet Digestive Enzymes Plus Probiotics Supplement for Dogs, Soft Chews, Made in the USA; Brand: NaturVet; Review: These chewables put a stop to my dog's poop-eating habit. He LOVES these. I love that his mouth and breath are clean! Poor little guy, he was just self-medicating in a rather disgusting way. Some dogs don't produce adequate enzymes to properly absorb the nutrients in their food. It turns out that this is one of the possible causes of Coprophagia, eating dog poop. Our rescue Basset mix came to us with this disgusting "habit". After researching potential causes, I ran across the disorder of digestive enyme deficiency being a possible cause. Some believe this is why the tablets made to stop Coprophagia work for some dogs - ingredients in them are sometimes enzymes. I figured it was worth a shot, and purchased these based on a comparison of ingredients lists. The poop-eating slowed in the first couple of days, and completely stopped during the second week of giving him these. I got lucky that it hadn't become a habit separate from the medical issue he apparently has. We're all much happier with this way of addressing his deficiency!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: Hollands Wood Campsite; City: Brockenhurst New Forest National Park Hampshire Hampshire Engla; Review: Just returned from a 3 night. 4 day stay. We stayed with a few friends and their children and quite frankly this has been the first time we could all relax with kids and camping. We chose the left hand side nearest the road as it was less busy, though the road was there it was fine to be honest and not intrusive, even at night you could hear cars passing but after a few Magners who cares! The site itself was very good, ample areas to pitch your tent in between the woodland, lots of stand water pipes and rubbish bins. The facilities were very good, dish washing was amply spaced (the water is very hot!) the showers and toilets were regularly cleaned and the laundry machines were in good nick and worked wonders. Word of warning to those who go with kids, there is a tree swing at the far end of the site and a stream, so typically it was my lot that got drenched and muddy - hence the laundry machines worked wonders! The staff were always courteous, friendly and nothing was trouble. One even loaned me their washing machine powder and softener! Thank you. we rarely left the campsite, though if you do; a 10 minute leisurely stroll will take you to Balmer Lawn where you can sit or play in the river. Take a 20 minute stroll into Brockenhurst and here you can rent a bike (on the other side of the traintrack) or rent a Twizzy. There is a good little shop that sells all that you need for the camping side (food, bbq stuff, drinks etc) plus the Indian takeaway was good as well (there is only so much BBQ you can eat!). The price for 3 nights with 5 people and two cars was £140.00 on Bank Holiday weekend. If you do decide somewhere, for sure stay here it will make life easier for you. The only down side was woody woodpecker and his mates kicking off at 5am anyway we will be going back in the summer for sure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Strathdon Hotel Nottingham; City: Nottingham Nottinghamshire England; Review: Stayed here with some friends. The location is spot on, within walking distance of the town centre and all the local watering holes you want. The hotel itself is dated and the rooms were small, but they are what they are. Our shower was cold one night and warm the next, I think it is dependent on when the water tanks are filled up. The wireless is great on the first couple of floors but not on the sixth floor where it is non-existent. Parking is not on-site so you have a couple of nearby 24 hour car parks to use, though not ideal it wasn't too much bother. On the plus the staff are great, friendly, helpful and polite. They happily looked after us and nothing was too much trouble. The sports bar is a good size, with Large TVs, a pool table and a sofa area to relax in; prices in the bar are reasonable. Breakfast was a good selection of continental or English choices, so whatever tickles your fancy was on show. As said I stayed here with some friends, but admittedly if I had to come back to Nottingham with my family I would find prefer to find somewhere else to stay, but if I came back with some friends we would go back here.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Rosewall Camping; City: Osmington Mills Dorset England; Review: We stayed at the campsite for 4 days, we got there a little late in the day but was swiftly booked in and off we wen to find a pitch. It has two blocks for showers, washing up and laundry, so we situated ourselves down the bottom. However the only issue was that the entire campsite was on the side of the hill so to find a pitch that was flat was near enough impossible. You have loads of room to pitch up but the gradient made it difficult, especially when you are trying to eat! The location of the campsite is good with a short stroll down to the beach and also down tot he local pub (the Smugglers Inn). The beach is a little rocky in places but perfect for a bit of rockpool searching, the beach round the side was quite nice and you have a lovely view where ever you decide to pitch up. The campsite has a very well stocked onsite shop and reasonably priced items in there, plus you are just down the road from the local super markets and Weymouth itself. The only downside was the lack of activities/things to do, there is a small play area for the youngsters, but compared with the New Forest where you can jump on the bike or go for a stroll in the woods or build a den or something, you are on a campsite i.e. a field. To be honest, you can't fault it for being a 'campsite' as it does have everything you would need, just come prepared with things for the kids to do if you are stuck in the tent when it is pouring with rain.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Berliner Hof Hotel; City: Berlin; Review: Arrived with the family for a 4 day stay in Berlin. After scouring for a hotel that can offer a 5 bed room I cam across the Berliner hof that had family sized rooms, so reserved one and off we went. The Hotel is in the shopping area and sandwiched in between some shops and the Europa Centre, not to hard to find for our transfer driver. So straight in an up to the second floor, yes there is a fitness centre on the first floor so there are a lot of people coming in and out but they are no bother. The check in was swift and the receptionist was very attentive. Got into the room, good size room with a double, a twin and a single for us, the bathroom had both shower and a bath so that is always good for the children. Fortunately I emailed earlier to request a cooler and a fan for the room, both were there on arrival. There is a balcony as well and a good size area for the kids to sprawl across, the only downside is there is no aircon, and on the second day it was 30 degrees or something so coming back the room was very warm indeed, the fan helped but it was uncomfortable at night. That said the final days it was cooler so coming back the room was fine and bearable. So the moral is to ask for a fan before you go and hope it doesn't get too hot during the day! Apart from that going upstairs to the breakfast room was good - get there before 8am as it does get a lot busier after then. Yes it is basic as other reviewers have said, but to be honest I was happy with that as it is a nice change rather than having a full fry up and having to go for a 'continental' breakfast was a difference, hmm not one for brie in the morning but hey why not! The waitresses were great really went out of their way to help with the kids and also they swiftly cleared plates and bowls which is always nice, thank you. We did have a bit of an issue with the key cards, so make sure you ask for two cards as it does make life easier for you if one of you needs to go back to the hotel. But again the receptionist was helpful and attentive for helping out the dumb British tourists! The cards are good as you can only access the hotel areas with them even going up the lift, so security wise we were happy with that. As we were at the back there was hardly any noise at all and it always seemed quiet, the Wifi was usable you have to get a code from reception but that was no bother. If you want to use a safe just pop down to the front desk and use theirs again no bother. In terms of location, A star for sure. Next door; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Nottingham City Centre Hotel; City: Nottingham Nottinghamshire England; Review: Having got tickets to see Michael McIntyre at the Capital FM Arena, I went about to locate a Hotel close by, ah ha I have found the Mercure Nottingham one round the corner, lets book. Hmm expedia, ebookers etc were showing no rooms, rats. However on going direct they have rooms! Moral of the story go direct, yes it was a tad more expensive but I got the hotel I wanted. So off we pop to Nottingham after booking a Classic Room. Arrived at the Lace Market Car Park as they mention on the website and parked up (careful going around the car park I managed to dent an allow on the tight corners). So turn right and up the hill, past the Ibis on your left and Sainsburys on your right and there low and behold is the Mercure on the corner. Having a look around you have within spitting distance; pubs and eateries of all sorts so finding something to drink or eat will certainly not be a problem. On entry you are immediately at the front desk, where we were kindly welcomed and asked to check in. So during check in - oh we have a wedding on today - uh oh - so we have upgraded you - oh! - actually we have double upgraded you - ho ho! - to a suite, is that okay - most certainly! So we paid our room there and then at the Classic Room rate, grabbed our keycards and up we went to the fifth floor. On entering the suite, you come to a 'living room' with writing desk with a fridge full of complimentary soft drinks, looks to be a pull out sofa in the middle and a coffee table with a Nespresso machine and 6 capsules alongside, and of course the 40" TV. Yeah that will do. On going through to the Bedroom, on display was a nice KingSize bed with various pillow, in the cupboard was a full ironing board and iron as well as the safe and the additional tea and coffee condiments. Nice, keeps the wife happy so she can carry on the house work while we are away! And with the second 40" TV as well I was happy. The off into the bathroom, nice this is bigger than ours at home, would be nice to have a proper Power Shower, but you can't complain as it has a bath, shower and the usual bathroom fixtures and fittings. Naturally a couple of robes are there for you as well to complete the Suite experience. Overall the room was a great size, and all in all the extras on offer (soft drinks, coffee and tea facilities, ear plugs (obviously a noisy party will be happening), robes etc) does make it nice. Though we didn't stay in the hotel or search much I can't really say about the 1822 Restaurant or the Gym onsite. The Gym is on the ground floor which you can see as you go to the elevator and though small does have enough; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lalandia Billund; City: Billund South Jutland Jutland; Review: After hunting around for a while for something to do, we came across Billund. Where to stay? Looked at hotels, Legoland Village, etc then found this place Lalandia. Basically for us British, Centre Parcs. With a family of five, finding somewhere is always tough. So we opted for a Classic 6 Person House. We flew into Billund via British Airways and arrived at 10:30am, then got a hire care from Sixt (nice BMW 218) and drove down to the place. On arriving at Lalandia, you come into the carpark, get a ticket and go off to park. We managed to check in early which was a god send and took a drive down to the Pilstein part of the 'campus'. Word of a advice, check in early if you can to avoid the rush. Also pay for the Yearly Car Park Pass - 120DKK (£14) instead of the daily rate of 50DKK (£6). As it certainly proved its worth and well worth it as the amount of times we parked at the top to go into Lalandia or to walk over to Legoland was amazing. We got down to our house, nearby was a couple of play parks and a big trampoline which was useful to know. The house has parking for two cars and you are in a SemiDetached layout. Overall it was well equipped and had all we needed to stay there. Yes you do have to pay extra for Bed Linen but again it is well worth the 50DKK (£6) per person as it is one less thing to worry about. After settling in we had to go off to the supermarket to get the usual's the Lalandia supermarket is well stocked but obviously 10/15% more than the other supermarkets in the area. We took to the drive out to Billund and there is a Netto, SuperBurgen Coop (aka Tesco), REMA 100 (aka Aldi), stocked up and came back. Yes you do need to buy toilet roll, washing up stuff and the rest. We went to Lalandia a few times, parking is advised to get there before 9:30am as most things open at 10am plus people park there for Legoland. On going in, you have everything laid out for you to do. Yes you do have to pay 40DKK (£5) for jumping, climbing wall, 80DKK (£10) for skiing/ice skating as it does get a bit steep after a while, but to be honest you may as well plus it was good fun and experiences for the kids. We had a caricature done by the local guy there, yes it cost 660DKK (£75) for all of us, but it is a great memento and souvenir to bring home, plus the guy was awesome and amazing in what he did - i would certainly recommend you getting it done. The Water Park - Aqua Dome is great. Nuff said. We easily spent 3 hours in there each time. Yes you do have to wait sometimes for the dinghy's and rubber rings but it was well worth it. Overall the rides were; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: H10 Madison; City: Barcelona Catalonia; Review: After trawling the internet for places to stay in Barcelona i came across the H10 'range'. Boom i've struck gold. All the hotels looked great and offered all that we wanted but I opted for the H10 Madison in the end, tough choice i know with a 4star superior to go too. We stayed at the end of May, the location is top notch, off the beaten track to be quiet but right in the thick of places to go and visit. Down the road is the Cathedral, round the corner is the Picasso Museum and up the road is the Pederare and the Casa's. The entrance is lovely recepionists great, very welcoming and offered up a nice glass of something cold on arrival. Check in was swift with no messing and up to the room. The room is great sized and had all that we needed. Bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom well equipped with all that you need. Note to self, next time don't bother with toilteries as they provide a great selection. Water and coffee are included as well as a good and easy to use safe. Overall a great room, a balcony to boot with a great view of the catherdral. Breakfast was a delight, great selection and catered for the gluten free in you, the display and the presentation of the layout was sublime, well done. Staff we always welcoming and exteremly attentive but not overbearing, never was my glass empty of coffee and orange juice during our sitting. I would suggest to people staying here to opt for the breakfast rather than venture out to get coffee and croissants. It opens from 7am to 11am to you have lots of time, the busiest time was around 9am. We did go to the top bar for a view and drink, again the layout is just heavenly and the staff great. Even when asked for a cocktail they did not recoil away or say no, they took the ingredients and made a damn good Mule, thank you. The checkout was swift with no iseues or squabbles, the stay went too quick, but the hotel and the stff and facilities just made it so. Overall a great place to stay and the price was well on the money and worth every euro. My tip for people looking to stay here is opt for the breakfast if you can when you book the hotel. I would also heavilty suggest that you use the conceirge/reception to book tickets for the places you wish to go to like Parc Guell or the Sagrada Familee as if like us you don't an just turn up you will not get in. Make sure you plan yourself. Ooh and would i stay here again - si!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BLOC Hotel Gatwick; City: Crawley West Sussex England; Review: Looking for a hotel on the airport so that we can have a swift getaway the next day and low and behold you have Bloc on the airport step. Really easy to find, check in was a breeze. Make sure you use your card to go up the elevator otherwsie you are going no where. The room, is well a block. Straight in an bang there is the bed, oh look to the right the wetroom, can i swing a cat? To be honest yes it is small, but all we needed was a bed, a shower and a toilet. This room ticked all the boxes, the room was small but it was cosy. The bed was comfy and the tablet controls worked well for all the devices. The bathroom was fine, the only downside was once you had a shower, everything and i mean everything in the wetroom was covered. So if you want to use the toilet, you will get a wet bottom. So morale of the story is use the toilet first, shower second and once you have had a shower try and dry the floor so you don't wipeout later on a night. Checkout was a breeze, you can do this on the tablet and then just drop the card in one of the slots on the way out. oh and Book through mygatwick and get a 10% discount; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: H10 Duque de Loule; City: Lisbon Lisbon District Central Portugal; Review: Managed to whisk my wife away for her 40th to Lisbon. Came across this H10 hotel and after staying in another H10 before I thought why not. Well I was not disappointed. As before location is good with a supermarket opposite if you need some extra bits, a cafe just at the end of the road for a quick bite/drink or at the very end the Metro to get a ride to whereever. Check in was swift and easy and nicely performed. Front of desk spoke excellent English (thank you), swiftly went up to the room. Lovely decor and size, usual H10 amenities - good shower, bathrobe, slippers, usual toiletries and coffee/tea. Nice touch is the window seat if you fancy gazing out of the window. Unfortunately it was raining, but for a 5 euro deposit you can borrow an umbrella cool, also they kindly scoured the local surroundings for places to go if you needed some help. Following morning, breakfast. Well what can i say, glorious. IN no way can anyone possibly say there is a. not enough b. not enough selection or c. not hungry. The spread and the way it is presented really is great. From the meats to the breads to the drinks to the pastries 10 out of 10 - see the pics. We also had dinner there, I emailed the hotel prior for more information due to an allergy and they swiftly responded. Though this i also managed to organise a gluten free birthday cake which they will present at the end of the meal. Well the meal was lovely, see the pictures, a nice chickeny dish and a sea bass dish. We also had a nice glass of their house wine which did go down well. They then presented the cake and have to say well done, for a gluten free cake it was very very good . Also for the price paid 20 euros I felt was very good value considering what I have spent in the UK prior. The waiters were great and attentive but not over powering and always willing to help or be on hand. Overall the H10 Duque de Loule for me carried on the H10 way, a superior and exellent hotel experience from start to finih, lovely decor, good sized, clean and well appointed rooms, utterly glorious breakfast, tasty food and the best attentive staff, I would happily come to H10 again and hope that the other H10 we hope to stay at in the future continue this trend. Tips to travellers we went in January - it was perfect (albeit the rain) very quiet and not too busy to be able to visit areas. Get the Metro 24hour ticket 6.60 euros bargain you get to use it on all the transport including Tram 28. Forget Tram 28 get Tram 12 less crowded but still the same feel of being on a Tram plus takes you up the the Castle.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Mathemagics (Chicks in Chainmail); Author: Visit Amazon's Margaret Ball Page; Review: Margaret Ball is a terrific writer for so many reasons, which this book highlights to her greatest advantage. This book is (as is typical for her) fascinating, funny, intelligent, thought-provoking, emotional, and quite imaginative. As usual, she portrays women in a way that far too few authors do: unique, strong, and intelligent. Even better, she doesn't feel that she has to make the men look stupid and weak, which is a crutch that many "strong heroine" authors use. One thing that especially struck me was that the main character didn't see any need to tell her daughter "that's your father", when she met him. She didn't agonize over it, she didn't even consider it an option. Since the father would as soon sell his daughter as look at her, I think that's a wise choice. Still, I think it shows strength to be so untroubled by what I would find to be a troubling circumstance (i.e. daughter and father in the same room, when she doesn't know who he is). Being a mathematician, I naturally enjoyed all the references to math, although I find it hard to believe that an 11-year-old would have even heard of Linear Algebra, let alone understand its basic principles. Yes, even growing up with a math teacher. Both my parents are math teachers, and I didn't know about Linear Algebra until college (FYI, linear algebra is far beyond regular algebra, beyond calculus and differential equations, even.) Anyway, the chapter numbers were also a great draw for the mathematician in me. Being a great fan of sci-fi and fantasy, I also got a thrill coming across the various incarnations of my favorite books. It was a lot of fun guessing the titles before Dennis (the main character's boyfriend), especially the first one (a man with a very young face but very old eyes, who looked completely at ease, gazing around him with as much fascination with the sky as with the people who were watching him...can you guess who he is, even before he speaks?). The ones I didn't know, I searched out after reading this book, and discovered that I enjoyed them as much as Ball did. I was disturbed by the portrayal of the Star Trek characters, but it was the *books* they were characterizing, not the T.V. shows or movies, and I must agree that the books are terribly substandard. The one thing that truly disturbed me was the sexual abuse. Thankfully, she didn't go into much detail, but it was still quite disturbing to me. Most of her books do include a female character who is sexually abused, and although I understand why, how they fit into the plot, I do not like it. At least it all gets resolved in the end, and not just by revenge, which would hardly help the girl. I love that the girl finds her strength, her power, and a place where she belongs--where she's HAPPY. On a personal note...it gave me hope and inspiration. One doesn't have to travel to another dimension to find a place where; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 2009 Guide To Literary Agents; Author: Visit Amazon's Chuck Sambuchino Page; Review: This is a SUPER-GREAT reference book for finding an agent. HOWEVER, do not skip the step of checking out the agent's website! One agent I looked up had changed the name of the agency, one changed the contact person, one changed the preferred method of first contact, etc. As up-to-date as the book is, it simply cannot be as current as the internet...but it does provide internet addresses!...as well as a ton of other important information. The first part of the book helped me to get a firm idea of what the search for an agent entails--a lot of do's/don'ts, feedback from actual agents including their pet peeves that often get authors' query letters chucked right away, etc., etc. The reference part of the book and the index helps me find which agents might be interested in my book--what kinds of books they represent, how active they are in seeking new clients, how many first-time writers they represent, how they find new clients--as well as what kind of an agency they are--how big their firm is (how many agents they have, how many clients), how long they've been around, where they're located. It says how to contact them & who to contact (again, check the website to see if that's changed), gives contact information. Everything you need. If you're a serious writer, you need this book. Trust me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Nightmare Before Christmas: Easy Piano; Author: Visit Amazon's Danny Elfman Page; Review: It has all the music from the movie, it's easy enough for my daughter, who barely knows how to read music at all, to learn to play and become a better musician in the process, and it's visually appealing as well. As others have commented, the only drawback is that it isn't spiral so it doesn't lie flat, but I knew that when I ordered it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level; Author: Gay Hendricks PhD; Review: I find the concepts and practices of the book to be, frankly, life-changing. Being on disability for half my life and attempting to re-enter the work force, I kept finding myself nearly losing everything I'd worked so hard for; then my vocational rehabilitation counselor suggested this book, and my perspective has changed 115 degrees (I wasn't entirely backwards, so I didn't need the full 180). If you don't like little anecdotes like that, then you won't like this book, as it is FULL of anecdotes. I tend to skip those. Sometimes it feels like an infomercial. If you skim the sales-pitch parts of it and just pay attention to the meat of what the author's telling you, then it can turn your life around, too (115 degrees, give or take, depending on how far you need it to turn).; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Prince of Egypt: Piano, Vocal, Guitar; Author: Hans Zimmer; Review: All the songs were in there, just as hoped, with words to the lyrics and the names of the characters singing each part. Lots of interesting accidentals and rhythmic challenges--definitely not for a beginning pianist (unless the beginner is sufficiently motivated!), but not particularly difficult, either. Moderate difficulty. One irritating thing (to me, at least) is when a note has an accidental in one measure and then is explicitly shown to be back in the initial key in the next measure (e.g., the song is in C major and there's an E-flat in one measure and then it's shown as E natural in the next). I just find it distracting, but maybe others might find it helpful, I don't know. Also, there are illustrations from the movie and guitar chords included. Not spiral, so a bit difficult to get it to lie flat, but isn't that what Kinko's is for?; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Fort Sumner; City: Fort Sumner New Mexico; Review: We stayed here on our drive back from Colorado to Texas. The rooms were clean, and unlike other reviewers' experience, our room was quiet, even though there was a group of hunters who checked in next door to us. (And I was worried about this, as the only other time I had ever stayed at a Super 8, I couldn't sleep due to the thin walls and noisy neighbors. The hallway reeked of cigarette smoke, which was unfortunate, but none of the smell made it into our non-smoking room. The staff were nice and attentive. You could tell, at least relative to other motels that I have stayed in through the Southwest, that the employees were trying to do a good job. At $80+ a night (we had a small pet, so we were charged an extra $10), the room's a little steep for what you get. But overall we were pleased to have a reasonably nice place to stay in an area that's kind of the middle of nowhere. (An extra tip: If you're traveling east and running low on gas, try to make it to the Texas border. Gasoline was $.30/gallon cheaper on the other side of the border.); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Regal Motel; City: Las Vegas New Mexico; Review: For the price, you get what you would expect. The rooms were relatively clean but could have been cleaner. We had a pet and so were put in one of their "pet-friendly" rooms. I understand why they'd do this -- they don't want their whole motel trashed by people with animals who pee and poop without regard to the motel property. But nevertheless when we went in our dog began to go crazy smelling things, so it was obvious that other animals had been there before. We would have hoped that since we had to pay $10 extra to have a pet they would use the extra money to do an extra thorough cleaning job after pets and their owners leave. The breakfast was fine and the motel management were courteous. Overall, I'm happy that we stayed here instead of paying $40 extra to stay at a chain that would have only been nominally cleaner and nicer. Still, a little better job keeping the room cleaner (and the grounds too, for that matter) would have been nice.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Best Western South Plains Inn Suites; City: Levelland Texas; Review: If the prices or quality of Lubbock hotels get you down, consider stopping in Levelland (especially convenient if you're just passing through and coming from the west, as we were) and staying here. It's cheaper, the rooms are super-clean, and the employees were all great. We're very happy that we found this place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Palo Duro Canyon Inn Suites; City: Canyon Texas; Review: I concur with others giving this place a good review. It's not a palace, but if you're looking for a better-than-decent hotel in Canyon (or perhaps even if you have business in Amarillo), this would be a good choice. The employees were nice, the room was clean, the bathroom was in great shape, and the breakfast was what you'd expect. No complaints at all.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fairmont Dallas; City: Dallas Texas; Review: I've stayed here four-five times, in both towers. I've been extremely happy all but one time, when I got a room where the air conditioning made an awful noise. (For some reason, I didn't complain, so the fact that I put up with it for more than a few hours is on me.) The rooms are extraordinarily clean, the room service food is quite good (the tortilla soup and caesar salad in particular), the bar downstairs is a good place to unwind after a hard day of working on the road, the exercise room is small but clean and has functioning and reasonably up-to-date equipment, and the employees are great (not just the usual smiles from the check-in/check-out people, but courtesy and dare I say down-home friendliness from the maintenance and cleaning staff too). And the prices are really quite reasonable too — I say this after having spent a week in D.C. paying twice as much for a room not nearby as big or nice. I am grateful that this hotel is only two blocks from my Dallas destination and so will always be the first hotel my company's travel people will attempt reserve for me when I need to go up there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Budget Host Melody Lane Motel; City: Raton New Mexico; Review: My experience started off with the motel manager calling me while I was en route to let me know that the highway that she assumed I would be taking into Raton was closed due to snow. Wow. That's some service. (By some miracle, I had decided to take a slower alternate route just for fun. So things worked out.) The room itself reminded me of my travels back in the 80s, before budget motels began their rapid descent in quality to the extent that it's a major risk to stay at any of them. The accommodations were spartan — it is a budget motel, after all — but the room was very very clean, the bathroom was immaculate, the carpet was stain-free, and this room had the Thermasol steam shower that other people in these reviews have rightfully raved about. The only downside to this property was the breakfast, which was the bare minimum. I have now stayed in two Budget Host motels, here and in Lamesa, Texas (I travel in this area quite a bit), and with both of them I had the same experience, with spare but very clean and well-kept-up rooms. I don't know if this is a coincidence, or if the chain's management is doing something right. This room is a safe bet for someone looking for an inexpensive room, and I would think it likely that this is a better place to stay than some of the pricier chains in town.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Whispering Palms Inn; City: Del Rio Texas; Review: My daughter and I stopped here traveling from Austin on our way to a camping trip in Big Bend. The other reviews were not wrong. The motel is clean, the service is efficient and friendly, the rooms are a decent size, the TV was great, and the price is reasonable. The manager has taken extra steps to personalize the place, mostly by his addition of art in the lobby and breakfast room. The breakfast was the usual, but the addition of a small refrigerator to keep the cold items (butter, milk, juice) cold was a nice touch. The bathroom in our room had an interesting touch: They took the tub out, replacing it with a full-size shower. Half of it was enclosed by one of those opaque tub/shower doors, this one not movable, and the other half had a shower curtain. The shower was in *immaculate* condition, which is highly unusual for this type of motel. One thing I noticed was that there was no soap dish in the shower — you had to keep everything on the floor. It appears that they did all that they could to keep the shower area from getting mucked up in the long run. I think the trade-off was a good choice. Only two complaints: (1) a noisy shower-area light/fan combination. It made a loud racket until it had been on for a minute or two, at which point it changed to a normal sound. It would have been nice to have separate switches for those two, but oh well. (2) The motel's street sign light was out, so I had a bit of a time finding the place. Overall, we were very happy here and will return on our next trip that way.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Appartements Ferchergasse; City: Vienna; Review: As most of the other reviews report, everything at our apartment (number 1, on the top floor) was top notch. After having stayed in vacation rentals in France and Italy, I was impressed with the cleanliness, roominess, and good shape of this apartment, with its wood floors, well-appointed bathroom, and cared-for kitchen with quality plates, glasses, and cutlery. It was a pleasure to stay here, and I'd do it again. Do note, as the other reviews have mentioned, that it's not close to the center of the city. The transportation system is impressive, but you'll have plenty of opportunities to see this. If you're looking for someplace quiet, though, it'll be worth the 20-minute trip into town using either the 43 tram or the 10A bus combined with, say, the 48A. My only complaint, a minor one, was the WiFi on the top floor. It worked fine everywhere in apartment 1 except the bedroom, where it only worked on the side of the room closest to the center of the building. All in all, this is a great place. If running this building is the Ranks' vocation, then they truly excel in their profession.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gasthof Goldener Stern; City: Melk Lower Austria; Review: We, as several others here, stayed in the Empress Elisabeth expanded room. The room is described in other reviews, so I won't duplicate those efforts except to say that there is some flexibility in one of the beds, which can be made into a sofa if you don't need the extra sleeping space. Our family — two adults and two younger children, were very happy in this establishment. The location was perfect, the price was reasonable, the service was very very good, and the accommodations worked well for us. The bathroom appeared to have been recently remodeled. If it wasn't, then they just keep it spotless. I encourage everyone to have at least one dinner here, as the owner/chef is really good. We had four different dishes when we ate, and all of us, including our very picky ten-year-old, loved the food. We found our hosts to be very charming and interesting people. The man may be more "friendly" in a manner that Americans are used to, but the woman was warm and personable too and had a good sense of humor. I enjoyed talking with both. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and I hope that we get the opportunity to.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hamilton Hotel Washington DC; City: Washington DC District of Columbia; Review: The room was small, but I had stayed there before and so knew this in advance. I prefer the size, actually. Everything was quite nice. I do wish they would use bar soap instead of dispensers for everything in the bathroom, but that's a pretty minor issue, isn't it? I had a problem with my door lock one night, and the man at the front desk and a maintenance man fixed it pretty quickly. They were both great, and I enjoyed talking with them. The hotel restaurant was really good — try the crazily good crab cakes (which the front desk man had rightly recommended as having next to no filler in them). The location, only a little more than a block from a blue/orange/silver line Metro stop, is very convenient.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews; City: Henderson, NV; Review: Wow. What a disaster! After being seated in the dining area - about half full, we waited for about 15 minutes to get noticed. During that time a female waiter came by and asked, "have you been waiting awhile", and we said we have been recently seated, "but...." And then she walked away. After staring down the manager she apologized and took our order. She was very pleasant and stated she would be our waiter. Later a different waitress brought our beverages. I'm concerned because Red Robin does not have a difficult service model - basically it can't get much more simple from a service concept. There were many waiters on the floor and none of them looked very confident. We ordered the boneless chicken wings before our burgers. These are laughingly the worst chicken nuggets I have ever had. Overly breaded, hard, over cooked, incredibly small Pieces of chicken resembling nothing close to any kind wing or anything worth 9.00. Wow, I can't even believe this item is on the menu. The manager did cut our bill (second star) thank you, but we won't be back for a very very long time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Raising Cane's; City: Henderson, NV; Review: Im a big fan of the chicken quality and preparation. it's definitely casual dining (sit-down) quality which is great for a fast food/fast casual concept. But the packaging leaves desire. Many people enjoy the drive through and because Canes is using styro, which is generally not acceptable take-out any more, the chicken, bread and the french fries just don't hold well. My place is 7 minutes from the store and undoubtedly you will always get limp fries and sagging chicken when you open the containers after arriving home.
This is a somewhat forgiving issue, but the fast food chains are beginning to figure it out, especially as "delivery" continues to gain momentum. Suggest RC do the same.
It's not acceptable to charge $9, $10 or $11+ dollars for a single meal in a drive thru that can't hold inside a container for 10 or 15 minutes. The chicken is very good, but $8.00 or maybe $9.00 ok-good, not $11.50!; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Daniel's Coffee and More; City: Las Vegas, NV; Review: Nice place, but there's a couple concerns and I am not sure yet if we'll be back. I had the Japanese Pour over. $6.00 for a 12 oz. Coffee drink is expensive. It tasted fine but honestly, as a guy who likes coffee, ALOT, it honestly tasted like a relatively weak regular iced coffee. I get the flavor notes, but subtle at best. Wouldn't re-order.
We also ordered a croissant and a standard Americano. The Americano was served in a large coffee mug and was very good! The croissant was frozen throughout which was unfortunate. The Americano's listed price is 2.75, but rung up as $3.25.
A lot of money was spent on the space by the owner, but I didn't get 'Daniels', with the upscale logo and the logo-centric 'D' on the building (which is tasteful and a place I'd definitely expect to see in Anthem or parts of Summerlin), along with the interior design which is upscale... but then there's this plastic Caribbean decor inside which is odd. It's a clean space and modern but loud and echo'y. Really hard to hear the person you are sitting across. Needs sound buffering interiors. Definitely will be back for an Americano via drive thru.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Smashed Pig Gastropub; City: Las Vegas, NV; Review: We took a party of 7 people Friday night and we're seated on a long banquette in the small main dining area. Love the kitchen energy in the spaces and respected the owner operator involvement in getting the food out. Our server was really nice and totally on our table. The room was busy and while the restaurant is loud the food quality and yummy'ness of the dishes more than makes up for it. Good beer list, a couple of fun cocktails! We ordered several appetizers. The large Pretzel was amazing! Fluffy, soft, super hot. Wow. The shrimp and the cauliflower were awesome. Everyone loved their entrees. The Bangers and mash amazing! The steak frites was great. Fish & Chips really nice. What a great value!

Title: Distill - Southern Highlands; City: Las Vegas, NV; Review: We went in at noon on Sunday and dined in the restaurant. Not a fan of walking in on the side of a venue into a dark room with no greeting and completely empty space. All the action was in the enclosed bar. Many people sounding drunk and a little crazy which was odd for noon on a Sunday, but hey, it's Southern Highlands right? And they were having fun. A Randomly located bar/ restaurant but seemingly clean and didn't smell of smoke. To start we had a cider and I ordered a Sams 76 which was printed on the corporately designed beverage list. "Sorry we don't serve Sams 76". Ergh! I had an Oktoberfest and it was cold. We ordered a Rueben sandwich and a melted cheddar cheese brisket sandwich as well as the daily soup: jalapeño corn chowder. The corn chowder was 20 minutes away from being a dip. Verrrry spicy and we couldn't finish it. The Rueben tasted like a little too much vinegar and the meat was a little tough. The brisket on the cheese sandwich was basically 'deli' meat. The bbq sauce smothered on that sandwich saved it to some extent but we would not order any of those items again. We will try for breakfast and see.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Distill - Southern Highlands; City: Las Vegas, NV; Review: We went in at noon on Sunday and dined in the restaurant. Not a fan of walking in on the side of a venue into a dark room with no greeting and completely empty space. All the action was in the enclosed bar.

Title: Dark Moon Coffee Roasters; City: Henderson, NV; Review: We discovered this place this weekend. Wow, a fun place, cozy design, and I like the bench and booth style table sections. I didn't go for beer... cuz, I didn't know they did beer... but it makes sense, so we will be back and try their brews. The coffee was decent and presentations solid. Staff seems knowledgeable. There's a ton of passion going on here. We heard the pastry products are from kraftKitchen and had a decent almond croissant.
Maybe a new regular spot!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 8 Kitchen; City: Henderson, NV; Review: We love this place. Their chicken dish amazing, (mochiko chicken plate) and a must with their fried rice. The bau buns usually good, this time a little over done. The Donburi bowls are decadent! staff friendly and concept design almost impeccable. Even though this is sort of a test kitchen for their other restaurants, my only wish is that the food come out at the same time. We came back with daughter and boyfriend and everyone's food was served separately with some delays between a couple items. This is awkward and should be addressed. Can't wait to come back tho.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: PETMAKER Puppy Potty Trainer - The Indoor Restroom for Pets; Brand: PETMAKER; Review: Works pretty well, at least as well as could be expected. If it is full of pee, it is kind of hard to clean the tray without tipping it and spilling the smelly pee, at least if you have the same limitations as I have in my townhouse. Since it is artificial grass, cleaning poop can be gross. The grass also needs to be washed if the set-up is anywhere near your nose because the pee makes the "grass" stink. All said, the pup actually USES it, so it does its purpose. Please, cute puppy, get trained!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: COMO Shambhala Estate Bali; City: Payangan Gianyar Regency Bali; Review: We spent an amazing five days at Como to detox and take some time to recharge the batteries. We were not disappointed. An amazing experience. Fabulous staff, nothing was too much trouble. We chose to endure the five day raw detox, two days of juicing only followed by raw menu for the remaining three days. The food was absolutely amazing. The variety of delicious dishes that they concocted from just vegetables and fruit was incredible. We lost weight and felt incredible at the end of our detox! It was very strange to be sitting down to dinner in a restaurant and not have any wine or champagne! We made it and felt so much better for it! We partook of all the activities available, yoga, pilates, meditation, acupuncture, massage, lymphatic drainage, facials, aqua therapy. All performed by very efficient and knowledgable staff. We had a fantastic two bedroom villa with a large lap pool with the most spectacular view ! There are many stairs to get down to the room but it is well worth it. Planning to go again this year and want to return twice a year in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Le Burgundy; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: We arrived to a warm welcome on a busy Friday afternoon. We were unhappy with the room we were given and the Duty Manager took the time to come up to our room and discuss the options with us. We decided to move to a room facing the front of the hotel. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, very accommodating with all our requests. We had a number of restaurant bookings that were made for us and all our arrangements went off without a hitch. We had a junior suite which for Paris standards was quite spacious. Beautifully furnished and all the mod cons! It really is a lovely boutique hotel right in the heart of the Rue St Honore shopping district and walking distance to all the sights. Some great little restaurants close by too. We only had one hiccup with a staff member in the restaurant for breakfast and when we complained they dealt with it immediately and were extremely apologetic. Would definitely stay in this hotel again and recommend it to anyone who prefers small boutique service orientated hotels over the big flashy hotels that lack that personalised service.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rosewood Castiglion Del Bosco; City: Montalcino Tuscany; Review: What an amazing estate, so incredibly picturesque and spectacular. We stayed in Casa Villa Del Fiume a villa on the Northern end of the estate for a week and did not want to leave. Such a relaxing place. Our villa consisted of a large 3 bedroom main villa with a one bedroom pool house, 12 metre swimming pool and our own tennis court. All rooms had very comfortable beds, large bathrooms and downstairs there was a huge kitchen and extensive living areas. We had a pilates instructor and tennis coach come to the property on the days we felt like some exercise other than swimming and walking! We were provided with a four wheel drive land rover to use, and drove into Montalcino one day and also the beautiful medieval town of Siena. The Cathedral is just breathtaking! Loved the breakfast delivered every morning and all the amazing food throughout the day, Never had a bad meal everything was so fresh. Drank many great bottles of local wine produced on the estate too !! We enjoyed three fantastic meals on different evenings up at the Borgo in both restaurants . The staff were so attentive and knowledgable and the food fresh, simple and very tasty. Whilst an amazing place you do have to remember is Italy and things are sometimes a little too relaxed, you just need to be conscious of this and enjoy the culture and lifestyle, and let go of all the things you would expect at home, and relax !! Beautiful amazing place !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 45 Park Lane Dorchester Collection; City: London England; Review: We stayed for six nights in three rooms for a family of 6. We had two adjoining rooms and the other room was along side which is very unusual for a hotel. They normally spread you out across three floors, so we were very happy with the arrangements. Well done!! I cannot tell you how many time we arrive in a hotel to find us literally on three different floors. Rooms were very modern and every amenity possible. Stylish decor and furniture and an amazing view per Hyde Park. Very comfortable beds and amazing tv ! The staff were so very attentive and helpful and nothing was ever too much!! A wonderful team ! Loved the afternoon treats that were left in the room, although I now need to go on a diet!! The spa across the road at The Dorchester was also fantastic and felt very special and relaxed after my massage and facial, and nail bar too. We attended the High Tea in the Dorchester which was reasonable, not the best I have been too, staff were so so and food was nothing special, but the ambience was very nice. We would definitely recommend this hotel it was well worth the money !!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Park Hyatt New York; City: New York City New York; Review: We experienced a mostly very enjoyable stay at this recently opened flagship of the Hyatt Hotels. First impressions were impressive, the decor and furniture all new and very sleek and modern. Our suite was also very spacious for New York all the mod cons including a tv in the expansive bathroom. Love the electric heated toilets ! Another great touch when u enter the bathroom at night , night lights illuminate and turn off as u exit. We luckily had a suite facing the back of the hotel with small views of Central Park through a number of buildings. Request this side as the rooms facing 57th are very noisy we were told. One complaint of the room is it was so dark needs more lighting. The housekeeping service is also a little inconsistent?? They should have a checklist and follow it as we were missing something everyday. Be it shower cap, cotton buds, dressing gown , towels? One day we returned and all our things had been returned to the other sink we had been switched and our toiletries all mixed up?? Which is a first world problem of course but just very strange ? It was like lets see what we have today! Staff were amazing to the point of sometimes wanting to sneak out without the obligatory hello how are you to 15 staff members . But saying this would prefer this friendliness to being ignored. A few hiccups as expected with a new hotel , communication with a couple of issues were misshandled , but quickly adressed when a supervisor became involved. Public areas are very ambient and stylish. Enjoyed the breakfast and bar area, although its a relatively small space and was quite busy and hard to find space in the evening, and for breakfast on the weekend. Food and drinks were to a high standard! The best thing about this hotel is the Spa Nalai , its simply beautiful. Instead of being tucked away in the dungeons of the building as other hotels do this Spa is on the 25th Floor with a simply fantastic view. Staff are as amazing as the view ! We had a number of treatments and left the spa feeling pampered and rejuvenated. It snowed on our last day there and the view from the spa was like we were in a snowglobe. There is also a great pool area and well equipped gym on this floor too. Great amenities. Would definitely reccomend this hotel , its great location, walking distance to Central Park , modern facilities and helpful staff make it a perfect choice in the Midtown area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Amankila; City: Manggis Bali; Review: We love Aman resorts and this was our first time at Amankila, and we will definitely go back. If you are wanting a quiet tranquil place to relax this is your place. The traditional balinese style of the resort is a perfect setting for its amazing location on the East side of Bali away from the hustle and bustle of Seminyak etc. The closest village is Candi Dasa. The view is breathtaking and the resort is built on a number of different levels which you get to by many many flights of stairs. We love this about the resort its a workout on its own just going down to the beach club, which by the way is just heaven. The kids love the huge 40m pool and all the pool toys to play on. The beach is completely opposite to the usual dirty beaches in bali, the water is crystal clear and was mostly calm, enabling us to paddle board, boogie board and enjoy the private beach. Staff at the beach are great so friendly and helpful and most of them like all the staff here have been employed for the 20 years since Amankila opened, which gives you comfort in knowing that they know the currents and beach very well. Felt very safe. The staff are very attentive, starting with Claudia the Manager who personally greets all guests, a trademark of the Aman chain. She was very charming and friendly and when we had an issue with the power for the second night in one of our villas she chased us down to the beach early in the morning to apologise. Very lovely sincere lady. We had two private butlers as we stayed in the two bedroom villa at the very front of the hotel with its own pool overlooking the beach and ocean. The most amazing view from our pool deck. They were fantastic and every need or request was attended to promptly and discreetly, really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food was mostly of a very high standard, and when we requested something not on the menu we were accommodated very well. Great champagne and wine list as usual at an Aman. We had a wonderful bbq on the beach with a bonfire which the kids loved, the seafood was very fresh caught local except the scallops which come from Australia. Fantastic private dinners on our terrace nightly, mostly local cuisine, very fresh ingredients.We ate very well! We had an issue with the power going off on two nights in our childrens villa which of course meant no aircon either, we had two major storms pass through on these nights and of course once we informed our butler it was immediately fixed, but they were both long hot uncomfortable nights. I know this resort is 20 years old and I must say has aged well however a few issues like the power, and the bathrooms and showers need upgrading a little tired for a resort of this standard. The beauty of the resort, its location and; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: W Bali Seminyak; City: Seminyak Kuta District Bali; Review: We have stayed at this hotel previously and each time we are there it gets worse! The grounds are amazing and the pool area is fantastic but the villas and I am sure the rooms are very tired and grotty! We have only stayed in villas so cannot comment on the rooms. This time we were in a 2 bedroom villa which at first glance looks amazing. However the carpet, bedding, furniture, bathroom all look like they are ten years old. The huge amount of guests that have used this hotel haven't been so kind to the rooms at all. The daily service of the rooms was so inconsistent it was a joke, they had no specific plan obviously they just came in and did whatever they saw, so bad I had to keep asking for items and things to be cleaned. The food at this hotel is totally atrocious really its terrible except for the lolly jar in the villa reception!! Breakfast is the worst, honestly the buffet is the worst its dirty and messy and food sitting out in the heat?? Room service dinner was even worse seriously disgusting food. We eat out mostly in Bali and after this trip never eating at W again. It really has got worse this year. One night I went to let my friend out the villa door, she lives in bali as had come for a visit, the kids were in their room which is separate from the main room. The villa door accidentally closed leaving me outside the villa with no key. My friend and I asked a passing staff member to have someone sent with a key to let me in as he couldn't, my friend followed him up to reception and he refused to assist??? What the hell??? my children are stuck in the villa and no one will let me in??? I waited for 15 minutes outside for a staff member, no one came so I walked up the pathway a little to find another staff member, the first one I came upon refused to listen to me and walked off the second in a buggy finally made some attempt to resolve the issue. Thirty minutes later I am back in my villa. This was disgusting and I let them know my feelings very strongly. Is this how they handle and emergency???? It was absolutely disgusting my children were stuck in there on their own???? All attempts were made after this incident to appease my anger, private breakfast bbq etc, apologies but it really should not happen in a hotel of this standard?? Thats another point I wish to make, this resort charges international prices its not cheap, I am a little sick of the excuse that this is Bali and you expect a certain level of incompetence, reduce your prices then!!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Aqua Resort Busselton; City: Busselton Western Australia; Review: Great location on the beachfront of Busselton. A lovely spot for walking, riding or spending time with the kids on the sheltered beach. Very close proximity to all the attractions in the surrounding region. Dunsborough, Margaret River and Yallingup all close by ! The resort that isn't a resort , it's a self contained very expensive apartment that happens to share a pool with many other apartments in the complex! We found the accomodation tired old and weary for the huge cost ! We have come to expect this is Westen Austalia it still surprises me that the price we pay in our lovely state far exceeds what we actually receive! Nothing else to say we just don't get it in WA ? When will our standards improve??; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Halekulani Hotel; City: Honolulu Oahu Hawaii; Review: We have stayed at this hotel previously and do think that it is the best on Waikiki beach. It has an elegant air about it and is far more upmarket than the other hotels on this strip of beach. However it is not ageing well at all , the rooms are old fashioned and a little grotty and the beds are a disaster !! Mattresses soft and floppy they must be so old, I had to ask for boards and still was the most uncomfortable sleep I have had in a hotel. The grounds and public areas are lovely , the beach has eroded so much since our visit last year that there is no beach in front of the hotel at all any more. The local authorities need to address this there is not a lot of beach left until you get to the Pink Palace! The restaurants need attention the carpets in La Mer are horrible, it's a gorgeous location and fantastic food but needs a makeover. The bbq area is great and the food is always excellent there. The Traditiional Hawaiin Band and Singer in the Garden Terrace every evening create a lovely atmosphere . Orchids is a great location and have always found the food to be of a high standard. I do think the Breakfast buffet is atrocious truly atrocious , really poor choices and quality. Most of the staff are very friendly but are not overly accomodating with requests unless it's the standard offering! We had dramas this stay and the previous stay with their slow processing of credit card payments and holding amounts for a week after payment had been made. This happened both stays and I feel the Japanese owners need to modernise their processes at this hotel. Quite outdated. We stayed in ocean view suites and rooms both stays and would recommend these as the view of Diamond Head is spectacular. There really isn't anything better on the beachfront, Waikiki hotels are old and outdated in general, you accept that if you want to visit there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mandarin Oriental Singapore; City: Singapore; Review: I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years and still rate this as one of the best in the area. Not only are you close to the Marina Bay shopping Centre but also the beautiful Gardens by the Bay. I prefer this area by far than Orchard Road. Marina Bay has all the shops you need and the Mandarin has some great facilities to partake in after a long day shopping. Excellent pool area much better than the Ritz Carlton next door, although the current renovations may change this. Breakfast ha a huge choice although a little too much pushing and shoving from other patrons on the weekend not a pleasant experience. Another very expensive dinner at Mortons however do still love this place, great steak and French champagne !!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Four Seasons Resort Lanai; City: Lanai City Lanai Hawaii; Review: Loved this hotels remote location and beautiful unspoilt surroundings. We stayed mid renovation and hence a few hiccups with room allocations but once in our suites in the new wing it was amazing! Every mod con and the view just breathtaking. Food was exceptional in all venues not cheap but it is so remote you would expect it to be. Loved the beach and was great for the kids to swim and play with some of the local kids. I am sure since the renovations have been completed it is more amazing! Airport departures was a nightmare very unprofessional and inept staff unfortunately.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Rome Airport Hotel; City: Fiumicino Province of Rome Lazio; Review: Not expecting to stay in Rome overnight we were greeted warmly at a late hour , and a room was arranged very quickly for us.

Would recommend !; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: El Plantio Golf Resort; City: Alicante Costa Blanca Province of Alicante Valencian Country; Review: Travelled to Alicante over the bank holiday weekend with my family.It's a very quiet resort,ideal for golf enthusiast but not offering much to anybody else.We arrived in the night and had a hard time finding our apartment,which was block 8 and a little distance from the reception,with 3 Kids,4 boxs, and 3 pieces of hand luggage,it was no easy task.With no staff around the permises(except at the reception and bar) to give us proper directions,we had to find our way ourselves.I think the management is keeping staff down to the bearest minimum.The Apartment was large and spacious ,as well as clean.On the second day however we ran out of hotwater and despite someone being sent to repair what ever was wrong,we continued to have lukewarm water until we checked out after our 3 night stay was over.The HouseKeeper also left a torn tattered towel, when she came to clean the room on the third night.On the plus side the staff at the reception were very pleasant and the food was ok,the pools were empty most of the time giving us more than enough space when we decided to go swimming.The Kids also enjoyed playing in playground by the pool which was empty most of the time.On the whole it wasn't to bad but just abit too quiet and boring for us.We probably wouldn't be returning anytime soon.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Disney s Hotel New York; City: Chessy Marne la Vallee Seine et Marne Ile de France; Review: Just got back from a 3 night stay at this hotel.Staff polite and pleasant at all times.A short walking distance to the Disney village and parks,so we didn't have to wait for the shuttle bus.Rooms are a bit small but can be managed.Housekeeping always kept the rooms well cleaned and tidy at all times.We ate at the park side diner and the food was average,the steakhouse in the Disney village was a better choice for us.The only downside of staying at this hotel was being unable to skate as the ice rink is only used in the winter but was used for rolling in large balls while we were there.We were to tired (after staying for so long in the parks) each day to use other facilities within the hotel,but it was always nice knowing the hotel was nearby and we could go back and rest whenever we wanted to.I Would n't mind coming back as long as they have good price packages on offer.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Jumeirah Zabeel Saray; City: Dubai Emirate of Dubai; Review: Stayed at the Zabeel Saray hotel, for 4 nights .It was such a great experience!Being first timers in Dubai, we couldn't decide on whether we wanted to stay here or in the Atlantis hotel.To avoid the crowd , we opted for this hotel and had no regrets!We were checked into our room as soon as we arrived by one of the lovely guest relation staff called Gemma,after we had been given cold drinks and towels.The porters were extremely friendly and got our luggage up to us within the first 30 minutes of getting into the room.Room service also brought fresh fruits to the room later.The turn down services created lovely swans out of towels, which scared my son,but I found it very enchanting.All the staff were exceptionally warm and friendly ,and all our request and needs were met really fast, especially from house keeping! We didn't bother too much about the pool loungers, as if your not in a hurry to be under the sun first thing in the morning,you may be able get the lifeguards to get some freed up later on in the day.The are also lots available along the beach.The Staff at the Kids club and pool areas were amazing!We ate at the Voi restaurant(amongst others) and the Imperium restaurant had a great dinner buffet.The Plaj restaurant also has a happy hour at about 7 pm.The only glitch we had was when the shower overflowed in to the other bathing area, but after a quick phone call,someone came to the room and sorted it out.

Title: Holiday Inn Stoke on Trent M6; City: Newcastle under Lyme Staffordshire England; Review: We just got back from our 3 night stay at the inn, which was booked via Alton Towers resort.We arrived early and the receptionist present (Dominic and another female colleague) were very helpful. The female receptionist was exceptional kind and pleasant while finding our reservation and helping us print out our park vouchers.The receptionist also kept our luggage while we went to Alton Towers park.The rooms are reasonably sized,but house keeping was a bit of a hit and miss.The first day the bins were emptied out and beds straighten, with not much else being done in the room which was disappointing.I did mention it to the receptionist on duty and she defended the shabby cleaning saying"they don't deep clean" the rooms.I do have an understanding of ''deep cleaning'' and just doing a good job.Deep cleaning I would expect to be done when people check out from the inn.Anyway the next day the housekeeper must have been in a better mood, because the room was well cleaned and properly restocked.The restaurant and food was okay,some of the staff do need to learn to be much customer friendly .Staff should also not be afraid to approach families that appear to wander about and may need help with finding the most suitable tables to sit at.I noticed this happened when no staff was present to help with table seating arrangements when some families arrived at the restaurant.After a 'wandering incident' ourselves ,we waited in the evening to be seated . The restaurant had about 2 or 3 tables at most occupied and so we assumed we would be seated quickly.The staff present brushed past us muttering something about being busy, she then returned served some guest and went off to do some other things, while we waited at an almost empty restaurant to be seated,I think she remembered us and then came back and (offered no apologies)started explaining options available,I thanked her for being unprofessional and opted to go to the lounge instead and order our meals.We paid at the bar and the service by the waiters in the lounge area was a lot better than the restaurant .My children even commented on how smart and customer friendly the waiters were.The food in my opinion was a bit over pricey, but was not unexpected.The environment was generally clean during our stay and it was not to noisy. We also enjoyed using the Jacuzzi and pool.It was a nice way to keep my daughter occupied.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: FRYE Women's Harness 12R Boot; Brand: ; Review: Since having kids, my feet have grown (lovely) to just over an 11. So now, for most shoes, I order 12s. They tend to be a little big. I took a chance as everyone says these run big and got the 11 in these boots (which I have wanted for YEARS). They are perfect. The right boot was a little snugger than the left, but that foot is a little bigger thanks to kid #2. I knew the boots would be awesome and am glad there was so much great feedback about the fit. I got the crazy horse tan and discovered, after purchasing 2 different waxes including the Frye wax, you can't treat them without ruining the distressed finish. Luckily, I researched before I acted and didn't treat them. All's good.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Haiku Day Tote Handbag; Brand: Haiku; Review: I do love this bag and, for the price I paid a couple of days ago (about 55 less than what it is now) it is even better. But there are 2 versions of this bag around and this one is not the one I thought I was ordering. The one that has reviews has: Three interior elastic trimmed slip pockets 3 exterior zip pockets (1 hidden) Tote style carry handles with padded wrap 14"H x 22"W x 6"D This bag as 2 exterior pockets (one front and one back), no padded wrap on the handles, and it ZIPS closed. I kind of wanted the open top. Because it zips, it does have more uses, but it is still different than what I thought I ordered. I am assuming that this one (with the zip close) is an updated version of the open top Day Tote. If you search around, you will see the open top version on Amazon and other sites for much less. Also, I would not call it huge. Now, I like a big bag, and this is for sure a big bag, but it is not as big as I thought it would be. Again, it may have been sized down a bit in this version. Closely compare the front pocket options if you strongly prefer one version over another--2 pockets: open top; 1 pocket: zipper top. Either way, the bag is awesome. I may try to get the open top version as well as it is also about $30 via Amazon. That's a deal.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Lole Women's Call Me Dress; Brand: Lole; Review: I really like it but, for the price, wanted to love it. The pocket gapes a bit on the belly & it's not super flattering. Still, I wear it a lot and enjoy the material & the ease. UPDATE: 6 months on, I have to downgrade my review. While it was just fine to start, the black has faded considerably and it looks like an old sweatshirt now. Perhaps another color would hold up better, but I am disappointed--especially for the price.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Stride Rite Racer Light-up Sneaker (Toddler/Little Kid); Brand: ; Review: My son wore the heck out of these. He was very excited about the light up feature and it was not as distracting in class as I was afraid it would be--which was my main hesitation in buying him the light up shoes he wanted so badly. They have been retired to back up tennies after about a year. The tread is mostly gone but they are still holding together and he's happy to put them on for muddy days at the park or working in the garden.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hush Puppies Women's Emel Overton Winter Boot; Brand: ; Review: I bought these after searching for a good pair of knee-high boots.

Title: Panache Women's Underwire Sports Bra; Brand: Panache; Review: I stalked this bra for a while and finally grabbed it when it got to a less shockingly expensive price. But I ended up returning it. It had everything I wanted--underwire for my 36DDs, cross-back option, white for under light colored shirts, and great reviews. My issue: it gave me bulging underarm/overbra fat. Now, to be fair, it's not like there is none there, but compared to other of my bras, the bulging was much accentuated. I couldn't see myself reaching for this bra when I would be so conscious of the unattractive bulge regardless of the support. Which, by the way, was fine but I thought the cups were a little small for the size. I did reorder in a 38DD from another vendor but have yet to receive it. So there may be hope for the style!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bali Women's Shapewear Lace 'N Smooth Body Briefer; Brand: ; Review: I bought this in a 36DD as that is my bra size but that is only one part of me--the rest of me is a L/XL; 14 top/16 bottom. I probably should have gone up to a 38. I did manage to get it on and I will wear it for my event, but it's a little snugger than it is meant to be. I like the material and the control. And it does do a good job with supporting the girls, even if the effect is a little on the bullet side. It's got a retro vibe that way.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Panache Women's Sports Brief; Brand: Panache; Review: I love these. I bought them at an amazing price and really wish I'd bought more. I generally don't wear undies when I run or do yoga--it's just a layer that tends to get in the way. These were amazing to wear for both yoga and running. I couldn't feel them or see panty lines. It's nice to have a little more protection for my workout clothes. If I can get over the high price, I may buy a couple more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Soybu Womens Moksha Convertible Bag; Brand: Soybu; Review: Like many other reviewers noted, this is the perfect bag and I loved everything about it until the straps broke. It seems to have a 3-month life. I was using it as a school bag so it was heavy but it's a bag designed to carry things, right? The tote straps broke. Amazon took it back and I really want to try it again and hope that my bag was a fluke, but with so many other reviewers having the same issue, I am sure it is not. But the design is perfect--if only it worked!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hush Puppies Women's Amber Miles Ankle Bootie; Brand: ; Review: They were cute but I had to return because they were just too tightnot quite long enough. I wear a 12 and these were 11.75. Darn. Shipping was great.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Vionic Womens Fairfax; Brand: Vionic; Review: So, so glad I bought these! I have purchased and returned a couple pair of similar shearling-esque booties but these are perfect. I am an 11 (and a bit) so I have to buy 12s and these fit great, feel comfortable, and were not expensive. I had my doubts about the wine color but they are dark--just like the photo--not purple and not red. Hooray!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Buller Bridge Motel; City: Westport West Coast Region South Island; Review: Right opposite a park and surrounded by trees the location of this was really lovely. wooden walls and spacious rooms with great amenities made this a delight to stay in. The beds were comfortable and it was nice and clean.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Autoline Motel; City: Queenstown Otago Region South Island; Review: Nice views and walkable distance to town which was nice! Took awhile to check in as our room wasn't ready when we came to check in however it was spacious and comfortable. Bathroom and kitchen space was great (we had the two bedroom) and the blinds were good at keeping out light. Space was warm and the amenities were everything we needed for an overnight stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Anglesea Motel Conference Centre; City: Hamilton Waikato Region North Island; Review: Easy check in with friendly staff. The three bedroom townhouse was very spacious and warm with comfortable beds and an excellent kitchen/dining room space. Had a lovely balcony and got great evening sun. Wifi was fast and the unit was very clean - would happily go again! Location was excellent with the supermarket right across the road.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Garden City Motel; City: Christchurch Canterbury Region South Island; Review: The hosts here were lovely - the rooms however are very close to one another and we found ours had an odd smell that lingered for the whole time. Also the decor here is extremely dated with our water pressure being very temperamental at best. We had a two bedroom and while comfortable, it was very basic and the smell rather offputting; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: AAA Thames Court Motel; City: Oamaru Otago Region South Island; Review: Place was clean - had a lukewarm welcome on arrival and the rooms were extremely basic. Odd layout with the kitchen/bathroom placement and the kitchen was very very small and had only the most basic amenities to use. Beds we had were very uncomfortable.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Commodore Motel; City: Dunedin Otago Region South Island; Review: Staff were exceptionally friendly at all times - we got quite a lot of noise from the road and outside as this hotel is located on a fairly busy strip. This being said it's close to lots of things and was clean and had plenty of space. The shower in the master bedroom was pretty average - not great water pressure and the door wouldnt shut properly meaning there was a lot of water on the floor after, however the kitchen was huge and had everything needed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Aspen on King; City: Timaru Canterbury Region South Island; Review: We had the three bedroom apartment which was fantastic. Huge kitchen and rooms, bathroom was beautiful with a stunning spa bath, also with an extra toilet and ensuite in the master bedroom. Lounge space was lovely with a private balcony. Beds were comfortable and beautifully laid out, also the staff were wonderful - assisting us when one of our colleagues fell ill and ensuring we had everything we needed and arranging late checkout at no extra cost to us.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Settlers Motor Lodge; City: Petone Lower Hutt Greater Wellington North Island; Review: Friendly staff here on check in - though it did take about twenty minutes as no one was at the front desk. Location is good - Petone is about a twenty minute drive to the city so do be prepared for that if you are intending on spending a lot of time there. Well location with petrol stations and supermarkets close by. The bathrooms were were dated, with a 70s sort of charm - however the water pressure in the shower was excellent which more than made up for it! Nice and quiet as its not on a main road - unit was nice and clean.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Alpha Motor Inn; City: Palmerston North Manawatu Wanganui Region North Island; Review: The owners here are supremely lovely! Without a question - however the rooms are very very old/dated. Minimal cooking/kitchen facilities and the bathrooms are in severe need of an upgrade. Beds were not comfortable at all. Bonus having a coffee shop on the doorstep however would not rush to stay here again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Barcelona Motel; City: Taupo Taupo District Waikato Region North Island; Review: Rooms here were dirty, bathrooms leaked and spread water everywhere and the whole place seemed frankly unclean. Absolutely no customer service, nothing provided (no milk, nor information and had to ask several times for wifi which was slow at best). Walking upstaris to the bedroom felt precarious and unsafe and there was exposed electrical wires and no security anywhere. Definitely avoid this one!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Monarch Motel; City: Invercargill Southland Region South Island; Review: Beyond impressed with my stay here, the hosts went above and beyond for us - always greeting me in the morning when going to clean the rooms - which were consistently maintained to the highest standard. I needed to get some mail re-routed and this was done with no fuss which made everything extremely stress free. There was a petrol station and four square within easy walking distance and town was only a five or so minute drive. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained - with the kitchen and bathroom well sized and the water pressure in my unit was great as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casa Mexicana Motel; City: Paeroa Waikato Region North Island; Review: Not a bad place - very dated decor and feels worn. That being said, people were friendly and it was clean. Had unlimited wifi which was a pleasant surprise however the Mexican theme is restricted to the buildings looking vaguely Mediterranean.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Colonial House Motel; City: Kerikeri Bay of Islands Northland Region North Island; Review: Travelling extensively for work means we stay in a lot of places, and Colonial House Motel takes the cake. Such a beautiful and warm welcome from Andrea and Alan, the units are absolutely beautifully laid out with extremely comfortable beds and lovely attention to detail. The setting is picturesque and peaceful with gardens and it's peaceful, quiet, and no thought has been spared for your comfort. With incredible hosts I 10/10 recommend - a must stay!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Stanzino Junior Jeggings For Women Skinny, Stretchy, Sexy, Pants Leggings, Jeans; Brand: Stanzino; Review: I originally wanted these leggings for myself, but when I saw the sizing I decided to get them as a gift my for sister, she's a lot smaller than I am. I got the largest size avail in the khaki and black, which was a large. She said they fit her absolutely perfect; which I'm glad about because most people said they ordered up a size. The material was nice and doesn't look cheap. I Really like these leggings because you can dress these up or down. They look absolutely awesome with flat sandals or heels. I highly recommend these leggings, and I have no complaints about them. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest, and unbiased review. My feedback is 100% my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pink Queen Womens Crop Top Midi Skirt Outfit Two Pieces Bodycon Dress; Brand: Pink Queen; Review: I love this 2 piece crop top. And let me say. that's HUGE coming from me. I've never been the type that was really confident in my body, especially after having 2 kids. So buying a crop top outfit had never previously crossed my mind until my friend bought one, and encouraged me to try it. Well after LOTS of encouragement I did it, I bought one, and I'm so glad that I did. I LOVE how it fits, I bought the XL Black, and I'm 5'7. It doesn't make me look fat or anything. The material is not too thick, but it's not too thin either. You can wear it in the Summer, Spring, or Fall seasons. I plan on wearing mine for either a date night with the hubby or a ladies night out. I like that the top if cuffed or fits tightly to secure your boobs. I do recommend this product. I don't have any objections at this point. I uploaded another pic, the first one was just me trying it on, but the second one was actually a night out. And as you can see I love it even more now.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: GLASSESLIT Inspired Tortoiseshell Women's Fashion High Pointed Cat Eye Sunglasses; Brand: GLASSESLIT; Review: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these vintage sunglasses!! They caught my eye at first glance, but I was a little hesitant bc I didn't know if they would be a sturdy pair or not. Well they are very sturdy & very fashionable. I feel like Catwoman in these haha. I wasn't even dressed up when I tried them on, just a tshirt & jeans. So I know when I do actually dress for the occasion & wear them I'll turn heads. These will definitely be on vacation with me this summer!! The package came in an unmarked brown box, with a cloth case. They were delivered very quickly, intact & no damage whatsoever. I definitely highly recommend. I received this product at a slightly discounted price in exchange for an honest, and unbiased review. My feedback is 100% my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Eason Eyewear Women's Plastic Cateye Sunglasses EYE styled; Brand: Eason Eyewear; Review: I am very happy these 'Eason Eyewear 'w'omen's 'plastic 'c'at'-'eye 'sunglasses'.' They are very stylish, and comfortable on my face. I purchased the black frame, with the purple lens. I usually don't go for black sunglasses, but the shape of these was a little different & that's what drew me to them. The package came fully intact with no damage to them. They came in an unmarked brown box, included in the box was a thin cleaning cloth, and a soft thin eyeglass case. If you have a tiny face, they may be a little too big, but they fit my face just fine. I really like the curved temple of the sunglasses as well, gives it an extra little pizzazz!!

Title: GownTown Womens Stretchy Slim Fit Midi Pencil Skirt; Brand: GownTown; Review: This black pencil skirt fits REALLY nice. I originally thought that the front part would be an open split, so I was slightly concerned about that part, but it's not open, it's sown together. It's a good length, it's not too short. I am about 5'7, and I have lots of hips, so I know if it fit me properly then it can fit a big variety of body shapes, I ordered the XL. I was very pleased in the quality of the skirt. It wasn't thin, so it's not going to be see through or anything. The only issue I had was when I was trying to unzip the zipper, it had a string caught in it, so it was very hard to move, but I cut the string, so it was an easy fix, and nothing unraveled when I did, so no biggie at all. The skirt did come from China so it took a few weeks to get here, but it's worth the wait. It'll look very professional with a nice top, so you can wear it to work or church. You could also wear it on a date with a sassy top. You can dress it up how you like it, it's really versatile.

Title: Eason Eyewear Men's Classic Horned Rim Sunglasses with Mirror Lens; Brand: Eason Eyewear; Review: These sunglasses were okay, it says they are for men, which I didn't see that in the description at first so that is totally my fault. So I actually ordered them for my sister, I ordered the tiger print, with orange lens. They fit her face kind okay, but she didn't like the orange lens color, which is simply her preference. The lens is only colored orange on the outward appearance, and not from the actual viewing perspective. After realizing these were men sunglasses, I opted to give them to my husband, but the tiger print looked to feminine for me, and they didn't fit his face well. The legs didn't fit all the way around his ears they came a little short, so I'll just give these away to a friend who can rock them. Overall they were nicely packaged, and no damage, just not my particular fashion style, which again is a personal preference, and has nothing to do with the quality of the brand. The quality is great, and does the job. They are UV protected lens, so I would recommend. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest, and unbiased review.

Title: Starlite-Mens Funny T Shirts-Awesome Husband T-Shirts-funny tshirts-funny gifts; Brand: StarliteFunnyShirts; Review: This shirt was a gift for my husband. He wasn't expecting it, so when he saw it, he just kind of melted on the inside. It was fairly made, and didn't have any loose strings or ends attached. It did come from China so the delivery time was a few weeks. He's about 6'1, and weighs about 230 lbs. So the 2XL fit him well. It wasn't too tight or too loose. It's just a regular nice tee with a great message on it. I would definitely order again if he lost or just wore it out to where the letters came off. I purchased the grey with white lettering on it. It is a nice, cool, neutral color. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest, and unbiased review. My feedback is 100% my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lanzom Women Crochet Lace Swimwear Swimsuit Beach Cover Up Bikini Bathing Suit; Brand: Lanzom; Review: I really like this white cover up. Its stylish and very comfortable. It fit great. The material looks like sheer polyester. I think it's a good length. I am about 5'7 and weigh around 195 lbs, and I do have hips, so all this plays a part in the way it'll fit you. I will definitely be wearing this on my vacation this weekend. I like the fact that it didn't have any loose strings or thread hanging from it. It did take a while to be delivered because it came from China, and if I remember correctly I wasn't really able to track it because of that. It was delivered intact, with no damage to the packaging or the product. I would highly recommend purchasing.

Title: Romwe Women's Summer Spaghetti Strap Sundress Sleeveless Beach Slip Dress; Brand: ; Review: Ok so this ROMWE Women's Summer Spaghetti Strap Sundress Sleeveless Beach Slip Dress is seriously like the best sundress EVER!! Its incredibly comfortable, and I didn't have to iron it. I did steam it just a little bit, but not much. I usually wear an XL in all my clothing, but decided to try a large for this dress, I purchased the watermelon red color, and I'm SOOO glad that I did. It fit perfectly to me. It's very light and just pleasant to the eye. I wore mine while on vacation in Miami, and received so many compliments. I am roughly about 5'7 maybe 190lbs, with curves, and I didn't feel uncomfortable in dress in the least bit. I'm so serious when I say it was a perfect fit. I have already ordered another dress in a different color, so it'll be here in a couple days. Delivery was very fast and package came intact with no damage whatsoever. I definitely highly recommend this dress.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: GRACE KARIN Boatneck Sleeveless Vintage Tea Dress Belt; Brand: ; Review: I ordered the Floral Vintage Evening Dress Mini Ball Dress. I ordered an XL, I am 5'7 and weigh about 190 lbs. and I am very curvy. I had read previous reviews where a good bit of individuals said they purchased a petticoat to go under the dress to give it a little more pizzazz. And at first I wasn't going to order the petticoat to go under the dress, but then I decided to go ahead and try it, and I am SO glad that I did. The dress looked amazing on, and it fit perfectly!! I wore this dress to a wedding, and I received SOOOO many compliments. Almost every single person who attended the wedding stopped me to tell me I "was wearing that dress!!" I highly recommend this dress because it's so flattering, and makes you feel like royalty. It's very classy, and stunning. I will definitely be purchasing another dress in a different color/style.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 90 Degree By Reflex - Power Flex Yoga Shorts; Brand: ; Review: These yoga shorts are so comfortable, and they look great on!! Some people stated that they were shorter than expected, but they were actually a perfect length to me, and this is coming from someone who never wears shorts outside of my home. They covered my belly fat, and have a little pocket compartment to keep my keys in if I'm at the gym. I'm about 5'7 and weigh about 190 lbs., I am a very curvy girl so I ordered the XL, and I'm very satisfied in how they fit. I highly recommend these for purchase, it's definitely worth the purchase. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest, and unbiased review. My feedback is 100% my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Emmalise Women's Atheltic Compression Tight Workout Exercise Yoga Shorts; Brand: ; Review: These Emmalise athletic yoga shorts are great. I am 5'7 about 190 lbs, with curves, so I purchased the XXL. I like all the different color choices that the company offers. They are not the thick material so your body can breathe in them, and they don;t take long to dry when wet for this reason as well. They are very comfortable. These come in very handy as I have started to run, and don't like wearing the overly big shorts because they become heavy & uncomfortable. These don't ride up while wearing them. I didn't see any loose stitching or anything. There is however a zipper in the back of these, that I have no clue what it's used for because it's not big enough for keys or anything. Maybe it's for your lip gloss, not really sure about that part. I do recommend these shorts especially for the price, you really can't beat that price with a stick because most athletic wear these days cost double just for one piece.

Title: Wink Gal Women's Boho Off Shoulder Ruffle Floral Romper Jumpsuit Short; Brand: Wink Gal; Review: This off the shoulder Boho romper is really really cute. It's very comfortable as well, but it's REALLY short. I am about 5'7 and 190 lbs, and I ordered a large it fit fine, just ALOT shorter than I expected. It was so short, you could practically see my butt cheeks, which is fine, if you like that kind of thing, but I don't. I will be giving this ensemble to a friend who can rock things of this sort. I did like how it was made though (besides the length), the material was good, and I didn't see any loose strings anywhere. The off the shoulder part was really cute to me as well. This would be really cute with sandals or some wedged heels. Had it have been a little longer then I would've given it 5 stars. You can see the length really good in the photos. The picture of the back of it, just disregard the bad lighting on that one, it makes it really hard to see the actual color in that one, but the other photos give a great example of what the color actually looks like.

Title: SONGDU Men's Fashion Business Quartz Watch Chronograph Waterproof Date Display Analog Sport Wrist Watches; Brand: SONGDU; Review: This Binger wrist watch was an awesome gift to my husband for Father's Day. He already had a classy black watch, so I wanted to get him a classy brown watch, for those khaki days at the office, or just a nice day or night out on the town. This watch is really great for the price, honestly you can't beat it with a stick. This watch could easily go for double and/or more of the asking price. I'd never heard of this brand before seeing this watch, but that didn't bother me; as I'm not really big on brand names anyway. I prefer great quality no matter the brand, and we're really happy & satisfied with this watch. I do highly recommend, and we have no complaints at this time. The watch was delivered rather quickly, in a very nice box, along with a black watch pillow to keep it secure.

Title: Eliacher Women Sleeveless Blouse Comfy Stretch Loose Casual Shirts; Brand: Eliacher; Review: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this top!! It's a perfect summer sleeveless top!! It's not too thin, but thin enough as to where you can breathe in it. I usually wear a cami under EVERYTHING, well this particular weekend I had forgot to pack my cami, and I was away from home, so I had no choice, but to try this shirt without one, and it was fine. Didn't show my bra or anything. The color was nice, and matched my sandals perfectly. I ordered the magenta color. I am about 5'7 and I weigh approx. 185-190 lbs. I ordered the XL because that's just what I'm use to wearing before I started to lose weight. When I order again, I'll definitely get a large instead. It is a very nice Flowy shirt. It didn't hug you to where it would show any love handles or anything. I definitely will be ordering again in different colors. I highly recommend purchase of this top, and have no complaints about it. I had no loose strings or threads hanging at all, so I was really pleased in it.

Title: Viishow Women's Summer Blouses V Neck Cuffed Sleeve Blouse Shirts Tops; Brand: Viishow; Review: I loved my VIISHOW Women's Summer Blouse V Neck Cuffed Sleeve Blouse. I ordered this in the grey. Let me start by saying the quality of this shirt is jam up. I wasn't disappointed at all, I was actually very pleased. I am 5'7 about 189 lbs., and I ordered a XXXL, big mistake. It was too big for me, so I gave it to my friend who is bigger than I am. I will however be ordering again, and I will most likely get a XL. The sizing is my fault though because I'm losing weight, and I'm so programmed to automatically order the largest size offered until I didn't even think about it until after I had already placed my order. I loved the grey color, I had planned to wear it to work with some slacks. You can dress these shirts up or down, and they're still cute. I really like the fact that you can wear the sleeves cuffed or long sleeve. I will be ordered in my correct size, and another color as well because I was pleased with the overall look and feel of the shirt. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest, and unbiased review. My feedback is 100% my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zeagoo Women's V Neck Lace Floral Open Back Skater Cocktail Wedding Party Dress; Brand: Zeagoo; Review: I am 5'7 and weigh about 189 lbs. I ordered this dress in white in the long sleeve version, in a size large. I'm usually able to fit a large just fine, & this fit me pretty good except, the back connecting button. It was stretching to the point I really thought it was going to pop loose, the sleeves were tight as well. The length was good. I did however receive the dress with a tiny grayish stain on it. It might be able to come out with a couple washes, I'm hoping so anyway. The lace in the front of the dress is enough to cover you without any under garments showing, but all in all, it's fairly thin flimsy lace. The dress itself is pretty, just wish the lace was bit more strong. I did LOVE the design of the sleeves, they were just a bit too tight.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: MUXXN Women's 1940's Vintage Floral Lace Keyhole Bodycon Hot Pencil Dress; Brand: MUXXN; Review: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this dress. It fits great. I ordered the green color in an 2XL. I paid close attention to the sellers fit chart, I weigh 188lbs & I'm 5'7. I love the color & it was just a really nice color elegant dress.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Angerella Vintage 50s Party Cocktail Dresses Sleeveless Retro Dress with BeltClearance; Brand: Angerella; Review: The dress fit very nicely, however there were a good bit of loose threads/strings hanging even after I tried cutting all the ones that I saw. It doesn't have a belt loop, but the belt fits fine around your waist & doesn't make you look pregnant. I ordered the XL & im 5'7 & I weigh 186 lbs, I'm also very curvy. I paired a petticoat with it to give it some fluff & it turned out great. Overall very pleased with the look & feel. The material is thick enough to wear it's not see through, but it doesn't make you hot. Also the underarm cut isn't cut low, it's actually close to your underarm so just be careful when applying your deodorant.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Angerella Women Vintage Polka Dot High Waisted Bathing Suits Bikini Set; Brand: Angerella; Review: Absolutely LOVE this bathing suit!! I only tried it on to see how it would fit, so dnt judge me lol. I loved the fit of it though. Just to give you a good idea of the sizing, I'm 5'7, very curvy & I weigh about 188 lbs & I ordered the 3XL. I am curious to know what the bottoms will look like from behind once they are wet. Hopefully it won't become see-through. Will update my review once I actually wear it to the pool or beach. I love the design of it though & would purchase again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Womens Sexy Cotton Sleeveless Slit Two Piece Maxi Skirt Set; Brand: HUUSA; Review: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this dress. I am 5'7, 188 lbs & I'm a curvy girl with lots of hips. I ordered the olive green in a size Large. If they would have had an XL in Olive, I would've got that size no questions asked. Even though it doesn't look bad, I would've been slightly more comfortable in an XL. This 2 piece dress set was just as pictured. Material is great, it's suede-like, but not too thick. Okay so dnt judge this picture too bad lol. This is not the night I'm wearing the dress out, this was just a pic of me trying on the dress right after receiving. I WILL definitely upload a better picture once I actually wear it out. Definitely recommend this for purchase. Okay so update of this product. I LOVE IT EVEN MORE now. I kept working out and I lost some more weight. So at 5'7 and 182 lbs, the large fits even better now.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

They are small in size to cover the nipple area & not the whole breast. They are not meant to uplift or act as a bra. It is simply to cover any nipple from showing through clothing. Coverage is great, they stick on good, no issues at all, & it came well packaged, & not damaged. And they are reusable, so it's a win win.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Womens Sexy Lace Overlay Sleeveless Party Romper Clubwear; Brand: HUUSA; Review: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this romper!!! When I saw it, I immediately knew that this was the outfit for me. I was searching for something black & white & this was PERFECT. I have been losing weight, but in my mind I'm still the same size, so I immediately went to order the 2XL. Well needless to say it was too big under the arms, but it fit very well everywhere else. I am very curvy/ hippy girl. I had someone do some alterations & voila it was PERFECT!! I am 5'7 and weigh 182 lbs. I would definitely recommend this for purchase. There were a few loose threads, but I expect that with anything lace. The zipper was intact. I was very careful when zipping & unzipping though so the threads wouldn't get caught up in the zipper. Overall, no complaints it was great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shop4Ever Bride's Entourage Women's T-Shirt Wedding Shirts; Brand: Shop4Ever; Review: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! My bridal entourage shirts are EVERYTHING!!! They were colored as pictured, and are very pretty in person. I was VERY pleased with these, no complaints at all. No loose threads and everything was intact. Before ordering, I did read many other reviews where people suggested sizing one size up than the normal. And I do concur, I would recommend going 1 size up if you don't want them fitting too tight. I think all my girls went one size up.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Anna-Kaci Womens Sleeveless Sequin Shift Halter Sexy Mini Cocktail Party Dress; Brand: Anna-Kaci; Review: This is a pretty dress. I used these for my hostesses. The color says gold, but its actually a silvery-gold color. Its very pretty nonetheless and I liked it for them bc it wasn't long and old fashioned looking, but it wasn't extremely short either. I would recommend for purchase.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dresstells Sweetheart Bridesmaid Chiffon Prom Dresses Long Evening Gowns; Brand: DRESSTELLS; Review: I ordered this dress as a bridesmaid for a wedding. We originally were going to order our bridesmaids dresses from David's Bridal, but they wouldn't have been back in time. So we decided to look on here, and were lucky to find the same exact dresses on here for less than it was offered with David's Bridal. My size was also offered on Prime, which was SUPER AWESOME!! I am 57 and weigh 172-176 lbs and I got a size 14. I strictly went by the measurements and my dress arrived with no defects, and fit absolutely perfect. No alterations needed. I love the fact that it came with a strap on the inside of the dress to help it stay up and feel more secure. The strap kinda feel like the back strap of a bra so to speak because it has the bra strap hooks on it. I do highly recommend this for purchase. Will update pics on the wedding day so the full effect will be given.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bow Dream Junior Bridesmaids V-Neckline Chiffon Flower Girl Dress; Brand: Bow Dream; Review: I ordered these as flower girls dresses for my wedding ceremony, and I couldn't have been happier. They were beautiful and fit perfect. I ordered the normal size they wear, and not one alteration had to be made. We steamed them the morning of the ceremony and that was all that needed to be done. I would definitely order these again. Great quality and no loose strings or threads. You do have the option to order a crinoline to go under it, but I didn't want the puff look for my girls. I was very pleased with how the dresses looked.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Spring Notion Boys' Classic Fit Tuxedo Set, No Tail; Brand: Spring Notion; Review: I ABSOLUTELY LOVED these tuxedos. They were perfect for our wedding ceremony. I ordered my boy's normal sizes and I only had to get them hemmed at the bottom, which is great bc we can always take the hem out once they grow some more. The tuxes are very nice quality for a great reasonable price, and I would DEFINITELY order again. I HIGHLY recommend for purchase.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Minna & The Valentine; Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: paranormal, fiction, fantasy, young-adult; Review: MINNA & THE VALENTINE is an incredible blend of magic, fantasy, and romance! While the story revolves around wizardry, Ms. Rogers created two very real, down-to-earth characters -- Minna Westerfield and Evan Valentine, and of course, a loveable pup named Beast who is an endearing addition to the mix. Minna and Evan are thrown together to fix the damage caused by a wayward wizard. Conflict arises between them, but so does attraction. Minna and Evan put a lot on the line to make the world right again. I couldn't wait for them to put the troublemaking wizard in his place so they could explore the chemistry zinging between them. I loved the twists and surprises. Ms. Rogers is an expert storyteller who brings her characters to life and places them in amazing settings and unusual situations. Can't wait to read her next book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pleasure Island; Author: Kellie Kamryn; Genres: romance; Review: Pleasure Island is a fast-paced sexy read! Ms. Kamyrn skillfully puts a unique spin on the timeless tale of broken hearts looking to be healed. She throws Chelsea and Jake into each others path in a place where all their fantasy's can come true. Ms. Kamryn writes in such a way that the reader feels like they are there with her characters; experiencing the energy snapping between the hero and herione, feeling their angst, drawing the reader in to root for that happily-ever-after. It's steamy, fresh, and memorable!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Love Delivered; Author: Joya Fields; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: It was a pure joy reading LOVE DELIVERED! I immediately fell in love with Bianca - Ms. Fields brought her to life with the perfect blend of ambition, loyalty, and angst. She'd lost her parents; now her grandmother. Bianca puts her career in New York on hold while she deals with the physical and emotional task of fixing up her grandmother's home so it can be sold. Ms. Fields ramps up Bianca's world by placing mailman, Pete Schaeffer,in her path. I loved Pete's character (almost as much as Bianca did) - good looking, well-built, with a heart of gold. The attraction and the conflict between them was told in such a refreshing way that I had to keep reading to see what would happen next. The action is superb. So are the reactions. Ms. Fields' subtle weave of setting made me feel like I was in Centreville with Bianca and Pete. Heartwarming and funny, sexy and emotional. Great book that had me rooting for Bianca and Pete to get their happily-ever-after.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Royal Sheikh; Author: Katheryn Lane; Genres: young-adult, romance, fiction; Review: Thank you, Katheryn Lane, for the exotic adventure of Clare and Prince Rafiq of Bahir! Every girl dreams of finding their Prince Charming, Clare found hers purely by accident - those are the best kind. The setup for this story is believable. Rafiq is royalty and he's hounded by the press, but you'll soon discover in Ms. Lane's story, that despite his wealth and notoriety, he possesses the heart of a common man who's looking for 'the real thing'. He finds it, in Clare McKay. This tale is filled with conflict - some from Rafiq and Clare being from two different worlds, but also the realistic conflict of learning to trust and how easy it is to believe the worst. Ms. Lane expertly played the sexual tension between these two characters (at the risk of revealing too much, I'll leave it at that. You'll just have to read it to discover what I'm talking about). Their passion was not limited to just physical attraction - I loved how the author gave them the passion for art. The details of London and Bahir, made me want to be there to experience them firsthand. :-)) This story is sweet, heartwarming, yet sexy. You're in for a treat!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Summer Lovin'; Author: Donna Cummings; Genres: non-fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Summer Lovin' is a funny, down-to-earth story with sharp, witty characters that pulled me in right away. Ms. Cummings conjured up, Mia and Luke; two overworked people in need of some downtime. Mia is an office manager who decides to take a couple of weeks to chill out. She agrees to babysit her friends dog while they go on their honeymoon. Luke is a top-notch chef and restaurant owner who takes time off to rejuvenate too. Their paths cross when the sweet puppy, who is actually a shoe-chewing terror, causes Mia to break Luke's headlight. The chemistry between Mia and Luke is immediate and off-the charts. Mia is not looking for serious attachment and thinks she can handle a fling. Luke also deludes himself by thinking he can have two weeks with the lovely Mia and then go back to his hectic life. Without giving too much away, they're both wrong. Ms. Cummings has a knack for storytelling that kept me turning the page.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wife by Wednesday (The Weekday Brides, #1); Author: Catherine Bybee; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: Loved this story! Catherine Bybee created a believable marriage of convenience story with plenty of romance, conflict, and a dash of mystery. I loved how Bybee spun her hero and heroine's characters. Both were a little self-indulgent with separate agendas. She did a careful weave of backstory so I grew to love both the h/h and understood where they were coming from. She also incorporated some twists and turns to keep me turning the page. Loved the ending!! Great job, Catherine!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Final Masquerade; Author: Cindy Davis; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: Paige Carmichael leads a very pampered, comfortable life with gangster, Stefano! That is, until she witnesses a murder. From that point on her life would never be the same. She's on the run, changing locations, changing her identity, occasionally changing her accent. When she meets truck driver, Chris Beauchamps, her life takes even more turns -- ones that involve trust, distrust, attraction, and trying to escape him and her feelings for him. Chris takes her cross-country to help her lose Stefano's men. This story is filled with intrigue and I wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next. The author, Cindy Davis, has a knack for storytelling - keeping you on the edge of your seat. Her characters are incredible and so are the situations she throws them in. She included some extraordinary settings. Loved this book and would highly recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jetting Away; Author: Teri Heyer; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: I enjoyed this short story prequel to Outback Love.

Title: To Be Queen: A Novel of the Early Life of Eleanor of Aquitaine; Author: Christy English; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Eleanor of Aquitaine is a fascinating woman. She's strong even at times when she wants to cry. Her father instilled that sense of strength and she carries it throughout her struggles and achievements. She's an intelligent woman in a world dominated by men. Even though she's tough on the outside, she has a great capacity to love. I enjoyed Christy English's depiction of Eleanor in her early years. As she grew, I grew to love her. Ms. English did a great job with characterization, setting, and she didn't bog things down with so much needless detail that can sometimes smother my attention.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Orchard Valley Grooms: Valerie\Stephanie; Author: Debbie Macomber; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: I enjoyed Orchard Valley Grooms! Valerie is big city, Dr. Colby Winston is small town.

Title: All of Me (Wedding Veil Wishes, #4); Author: Lori Wilde; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: Loved this book by Lori Wilde! It was funny, heartwarming, and almost brought me to tears a few times. Continuously entertaining.

Title: Addicted to Love (Wedding Veil Wishes, #3); Author: Lori Wilde; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Filled with conflict, humor, delightful characters, Lori Wilde scores a homerun with Rachael & Brody's story! (Her wedding veil series is awesome); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Hand-Me-Down Family; Author: Winnie Griggs; Genres: history, children, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Truly a sweet romance! This marriage of convenience story tugs at your heart. Winnie Griggs does an excellent job with her characters, settings, and plot. I would high recommend this book :-)) * had the pleasure of meeting Winnie a few years ago at the NOLA conference in Shreveport - she's as warm and friendly as her characters!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Magical Misperception of Meridian; Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I just finished reading, THE MAGICAL MISPERCEPTION OF MERIDIAN, and can't stop smiling! :) I loved this story! It has everything: excellent characters, lots of action, rich details, conflict, friendship, romance, and a sprinkling of magic! Ms. Rogers created two very loveable, flawed characters who meet as kids: Jona (tomboy) and Lee (stutters around girls). A friendship develops straight away. The reality, however, is that Lee is royalty, and Jona, a commoner. The author throws them together, at the castle for a summer, where their friendship strengthens. Of course, at summer's end, Jona, is drawn away to resume her life back in Ramshorn Village. Over the years, thanks to a little magic by Wizard Farland, Jona and Lee are able to keep in contact by a 'special' mailbox. On Lee's twentieth birthday, their friendship and all that they know about each other is tested. Without giving away too much, Lee and Jona are placed in a predicament where Lee has to choose between love and duty. Ms. Rogers has a knack for storytelling! She spun an ending filled with surprises and unexpected turns, that made me grin, tugged at my heart, had me rooting for Jona and Lee's happily-ever-after, and finally left me with a contented sigh.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Clash of Wills; Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: history, fiction, young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery; Review: From the first page to the last, this book was incredible! S. G. Rogers hooked me right away, but I'm not going to share how because I don't want to be a spoiler - even now, I'm smiling at the author's genius with the way she unfolded the story of Princess Samantha and Prince Wills. Ms. Rogers took me on an escapade filled with vivid descriptions, concise writing, romance and characters that leapt off the page. I loved Princess Samantha's daring spirit, her loyalty to family, strength in the face of danger, and the magic she uses in the nick of time. Prince Wills was an amazing match for Princess Samantha. He read her so well, and didn't try to stifle her true nature. This tale also has two amusing secondary characters, Joe and Nanny. Once I started turning the pages of this book, I couldn't stop until I read 'The End'.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cold Comfort; Author: Ellis Vidler; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: The action and intrigue started right off the bat with someone trying to snuff out Claire Spencer. Claire lives a quiet, modest life and she's at a loss as to who is after her and why. She hires Ben Riley who was formerly in Navy intelligence to help her find out. Ben is reluctant to get involved; when he does, her world gets even crazier. Chemistry brews in the background of the danger and intrigue, but it also ups the stakes for Claire and Ben. I think the author did a great job of pacing the suspense and the romance. She kept me guessing as to what would happen next and who the culprit was. Just when I thought I figured things out, she would throw in a new twist. Claire's life is filled with secrets that kept me turning the page. I also loved the secondary characters in this story. The book is an excellent read and I can't wait to read more from this author. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Heart Gem; Author: Isabella Macotte; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I loved this story! The Heart Gem is a historical romance filled with suspense and laced with paranormal. At the center of the tale is a powerful amulet that predicts whether a relationship is truly a Heart Match. Ms. Macotte gives you a feel for her characters right away. Hallie Pinefoy is a strong, independent woman (you've got to love a woman in 1885 who knows who she is and what she wants to do with her life). BremenTyler, is also strong; not only physically, but with his convictions. The man is way ahead of his time because he recognizes the key to true love is to allow the woman he loves to be who she is. Hallie's strong-willed personality gets the story rolling when she goes in search of her chaperone in a dark, seedy part of England and is confronted by a band of thugs. Bremen saves her hide in the nick of time. Anger and attraction snaps between Hallie and Bremen. Bremen escorts Hallie safely back to the inn where she is staying and they form a plan to meet in the morning to discuss things. Bremen is summoned away from the inn by the Ancestrals in Stronghold, due to the death of his uncle - so the planned rendezvous does not happen. The Ancestrals rely on the heart gem to foretell marriage alliances and they want Bremen to marry his cousin, Tilda. As far as Bremen is concerned, that's not going to happen because he's identified Hallie as his heart match. Without giving too much away, the heart gem is stolen and Bremen has to find it if he's to stand a chance of having Hallie as his wife. Conflict and danger roll from page to page in this story. The author twists the story in an endearing way to put Hallie and Bremen in each other's paths again.The sexual tension and the intrigue are incredible and will keep you turning the page.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Druid (Asgard Adventures, #1); Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, young-adult; Review: THE DRUID was amazing! I found it to be a well-written story of danger, romance, mythology, martial arts and adventure that pulled me in right away! S. G. Rogers has an incredible imagination. She's created believable yet enchanting characters. Dani Avery is an ordinary girl who has been hurt by a past love and she vows the next time she gives her heart it will be to a hero and not a cad; even if she has to leave Midgard (earth) to find him. Dani takes possession of an antique-looking brooch and her world takes a peculiar spin...to Asgard, where she meets Prince Rein. A tussle ensues with the prince, so does a conflict of emotions. At the risk of giving too much away, I want to say that the author generated plenty of twists and turns, excitement and mystique to keep me turning the page. I rooted for Dani to get her happily-ever-after and I wasn't disappointed!! This is an excellent book and I can't wait for the next one from S. G. Rogers!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Puzzle (Samantha Jamison Mystery #1); Author: Peggy A. Edelheit; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: This book is truly a 5-star puzzle that hooks you the moment you start reading. Samantha Jamison is driven to find out who murdered her husband Stephen. The author does not spare the twists and turns. Every page is filled with intrigue. Samantha isn't sure who to trust. From the phone calls to the accidents that keep happening, this story keeps the mystery rolling. Samantha's character grows throughout the story. I loved how Ms. Edelheit unraveled the answer to THE PUZZLE slowly - and the answer was as much of a surprise to me as it was to her characters. Happy to have read this book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Burning Embers; Author: Hannah Fielding; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Well done, Hannah Fielding! What an incredible story :-)) You drew me in straight away with the setup on the ship! The adventure of Coral and Rafe started there and progressed to Kenya. Amazing setting descriptions that can only come from a true appreciation of that country. I loved your characters. They were easy to relate to yet they came in layers. And the only way I could discover the next layer was to keep reading. I felt the sizzle between Coral and Rafe early on and watched it grow into love, but along with the growing affection came a ton of conflict. And it just kept coming -- everything from secondary characters to gossip, mystery, doubt, mistrust, and more was thrown at Coral and Rafe to keep them apart. All of those things took the hero and heroine to the breaking point and all seemed lost. But the thing about true love, it doesn't give up. This book was expertly written to keep me wanting more. I would definitely read this author again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Desire's Race to Love; Author: Evangeline Neal; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction; Review: I loved this book!! It's a 5-star treasure :) I knew I would fall in love with this story when it started with Elizabeth's love for horses and her uncanny ability to get through to them. The romance, however, was the thing that pulled me in. Elizabeth and Lord Taylor's early history set the stage for a lot of conflict -- she grew up at Woodmoor Castle, the daughter of a servant, who worked with/tended the horses and he is the son of Lord Wallace. Lord Taylor was a pain in those early years. When he returns to Woodmoor Castle as an adult, Elizabeth assumes he's still a bonehead -- at the same time, sparks ignite between them. The sexual tension is powerful and sends this story forward. The author's writes it in such a way that I had to keep reading. She also threw in enough conflict to make their happily-ever-after seem out of reach. Elizabeth and Lord Taylor's love and passion for each other helped them get past the things standing in their way. I gave a contented sigh when they finally got together. This was an amazing story by Evangeline Neal and I would be delighted to read her next book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Gaze; Author: Javier A. Robayo; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: Wow! So many things to say about this book!! First and foremost...this was more of a five-star experience than it was a book! Javier Robayo pulled me into the story with an intriguing setup that became a complex foundation for his characters Samantha and Tony; two relatable individuals who are tender, maddening, exhausting, and downright loveable. And in the mix of the incredible chaos is Gwen. She's one of those too-good-to-be-true friends who we would all love to have in our lives. The author has a keen sense of setting - I could see exactly where his characters were all the time. He also has a knack for writing emotion so you feel it along with his characters. THE GAZE is a love story you won't want to put down until you get to the happily-ever-after. (Side note: Samantha Reddick will make you want to hug her one minute and put her in a headlock the next. I could so relate to this woman. And I discovered a lot of myself in her); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sugar's Dance; Author: Katie Mettner; Genres: young-adult, romance, fiction; Review: Sugar's Dance is an incredible work of art in book form! Author Katie Mettner did such a great job with her characters (and not just her hero & heroine, Tula 'Sugar' Dubois and Donovan 'Van' Walsh)that by the time I finished the book I felt like I knew them all personally. I was privy to their thoughts, desires, flaws, sense of humor, values, and strengths. The mystery and danger surrounding Sugar's lodge was revealed a little at a time, keeping me glued to the story to find out what was lurking around the next corner. Loved the setting! Ms. Mettner's love for Lake Superior and the surrounding area came through in her writing, as did her passion for the life-saving gift of organ donation (MAMBOS - Miracles Are Made By Organ Sharing). I loved this story from beginning to end and will definitely read this author again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Leaving Serenity; Author: Alle Wells; Genres: young-adult, fiction; Review: Leaving Serenity is one of those books that tugs at your heart the moment you start reading. The author expertly wove emotion into every scene and created characters that you either wanted to hug or put in a headlock. In this story, the heroine, Annette Bevels, earned more than a hug - she earned my admiration. At a young age she endured some horrific situations, yet she remained a tender soul; patient, respectful, and filled with hope that one day she would be loved. Stifled by her family and her small town, Annette finally left Serenity. At first it seemed like a huge mistake, but it turned out to be the best decision she could have made. I loved that I was privy to Annette's strength and courage before she was. Once she realized it, her life turned around. This is an amazing story and I would read this author again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cypher; Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I would give this book six stars if I could! I truly enjoyed how Ms. Rogers drew me into this story with a perfect setup, perfect plot. She laced mystery, magic, and romance throughout this story. The heroine, Cypher, is on a quest to discover her real identity - I love the creative way the author reveals it to both Cypher and the reader. At the same time, Cypher tries to make sense of her gift of magic. In this incredible adventure, she encounters the villain, Prince Ewan but she also finds her champion and heart's reward in Lord Joss!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tournament of Chance; Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: history, fiction, young-adult, romance, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Tournament of Chance is one of those books that you can't put down until you've finished it! Layered with conflict page after page, the author took me on a journey that included magic, time travel, romance, dragons, trolls, archery etc. Her setting descriptions were spectacular. I loved the heroine, Heather, right away. She's strong, loveable, determined. Chemistry snapped between Heather and the hero, Dane, but it took awhile for them to figure things out. I loved how the author paced their attraction. The plot twists kept me guessing. One particular plot twist made the book for me. (I won't reveal what it is because I don't want to spoil it for readers) Loved this book by S. G. Rogers and can't wait for the next one!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Ice Captain's Daughter; Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: From the moment I saw the cover and read the blurb I couldn't wait to read this book. It was everything I anticipated, and more. The author created two very lovable characters -- Jillian Rory and Mackenzie Logan -- and threw a ton of conflict at them. She also made the chemistry between them jump off the page in a very tasteful way. Jillian is beautiful and feminine, but she doesn't wilt in the face of danger. Logan is every bit the hero, protecting Jillian at every turn. Their happily-ever-after took awhile and there were a few times I wasn't sure they would get it. S. G. Rogers did an excellent job of pacing the intrigue and romance to keep me turning the pages.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Learning How to Eat; Author: Brian V. Menard; Genres: non-fiction; Review: I enjoyed reading this easy-to-understand guide to losing weight and doing it the healthy way. Mr. Menard explained the information in such a way that I was eager to know more. I'm going to keep this book handy for those weak moments when I get into a rut with my eating habits. Re-reading the info should get me back on track.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Widow, Virgin, Whore; Author: Deanna Lynn Sletten; Genres: fiction; Review: The title, WIDOW, VIRGIN, WHORE drew me in. Followed by the great cover! What an amazing book it turned out to be :-) The story is the journey of a woman who is diagnosed with HIV positive/AIDS, but it becomes so much more!! It's an incredible tale of family, friendship and how something so horrific can bring out the best (and worst) in people. Ms. Sletten took a sensitive subject and told it in a way that I understood the disease, the pain and the joy. (Yes, joy! You will have to read it to find out what I mean since I don't want to give spoiler alerts)The characters are realistic. I loved Darla, but I also wanted to wring her neck a few times. Katherine is an exceptional woman with the strength of Job. She's loveable in all the scenes, but one in particular will win your admiration. Denise has lots of action/reaction to the things Darla does, so it took me longer to love her character, but I believe that was how the author wanted it to play out.This book is rich with emotion and I'm glad I read it. I definitely be reading more books by Deanna Sletten!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Novel Obsession (Novel Series, #1); Author: Jeff Joseph; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: The title, A Novel Obsession, intrigued me and the story delivered :-) Abby is a character that I liked right away. She's sweet but guarded. And her obsession (which you will have to read the book to discover what it is) triggered or revealed those in the other characters. The romance and suspense was paced so you weren't sure where it would take Abby. I kept turning the pages to find out who would emerge as the owner of her heart. And when the suspense kicked in full-throttle at the end I was surprised at the stark turn of events. Jeff Joseph did a good job setting things up for the next book in his series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Desert Sheikh (Desert Sheikh, #1-3); Author: Katheryn Lane; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: The Desert Sheikh (Books 1, 2 and 3 of The Desert Sheikh romance trilogy) Exotic location, exotic hero! I loved the author's setup for this story - conflict right off the bat. The story unfolds in a land so unfamiliar to me that I hung on every word. I think Katheryn Lane did an excellent job of drawing me in and keeping me hooked with her characters, the setting, the difficulties of two people from different cultures, and eventually the love that developed. Kudos to Katheryn for her ability to show the romance while being respectful to the customs. I enjoyed all three books and I look forward to her next.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bridge Over the Atlantic (Bridge Over the Atlantic #1); Author: Lisa J. Hobman; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: What an incredible book! I stayed up late last night to finish it. The author did an excellent job creating her characters for this story. I I could picture them so vividly and their personalities seemed to jumped off the page. Kudos to Ms. Hobman for spinning the conflicts in ways that made her characters truly have to earn their happily-ever-after. This is a very powerful story that touched my heart!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Death Benefits (Max Logan #1); Author: Sharon Saracino; Genres: paranormal, fiction, fantasy, romance; Review: This is truly a 5-Star Adventure! The author hooked me right away with the very first line of the book. From page one to the end, I experienced the story instead of just read it. I enjoyed Ms. Saracino's knack for storytelling - it's like she writes in 3-D. Her descriptions were incredible and each page was filled with surprises. The story's main character, Max, is a delight! I loved her edgy sense of humor - found myself laughing out loud a lot. Death Benefits is Max's journey to discover who she is and what's important. Even though her story is written in a lighthearted way, the underlying message is powerful. Well done, Sharon! I look forward to your next book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Letter; Author: Sandra Owens; Genres: history, children, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Such a great story that 5 stars doesn't seem like enough!! A letter filled with hate but truth sent from a vicious cousin to the Earl of Daventry sets the stage for this amazing journey of regret, fear, mistrust, doubt, patience, healing and love. All of these emotions are expertly crafted so I experienced them along with Michael, Earl of Daventry and Lady Diana Brantley. The harm done by the horrible cousin to Michael and Diana seems too devastating and the healing insurmountable. But, what they felt for each other eleven years ago never went away. It was weakened by the cousin's treachery, but Michael's determination and perseverance reignites the love and passion and it grows even stronger. There is one secret element to this story that ups the stakes for Michael and Diana. The author used this key 'element' in such a way that I not only rooted for Michael and Diana, I wanted to take them by the shoulders and give them both a good shake because if they didn't properly handle this particular element of their lives, all hope for them would have been lost. I can't tell you what it is though, you will have to read the story. I loved this book and look forward to reading Sandra Owens again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Legally Undercover; Author: Rachel Kall; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, romance, mystery; Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Alex Popov's quest to be come a partner in the law firm made her prime pickings for an illegal scheme that involved national security. I loved Alex's character right away. She was bright, confident when it came to her job but hesitant when it came to her love life, and she's fiercely loyal. The setup hooked me right away and the way the author paced the intrigue, danger and romance with the right amount of spice, kept me turning the pages. The surprises along the way and at the end of the story made this story a definite 5-star read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Gift for Lara (Love Letters #1); Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Tastefully written, this story has everything -- a loveable heroine, a dashing hero, an antagonist that made me grit my teeth a few times, a secret, and a twist that rectifies all the conflicts. Lara and Miles get their happily-ever-after, but the author made them work for it. Well done, S. G. Rogers!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sugar's Night (Sugar Series Book 3); Author: Katie Mettner; Genres: romance; Review: Author Katie Mettner continues to share Tula "Sugar" Dubois in ways that breathes life into this fictional character. Sugar is that easy going, unassuming, always goes out of her way to help, person who you'd love to live next door to or sit down with and have a cup of coffee. She has a lot of challenges in her life including self doubt but she deals with them quietly. She loves with all her heart and you have no choice but to love her back. Sugar's Night is a test of strength and love. I won't give away what the author puts Sugar through, but I will say that the ending made me grin from ear to ear. Well done, Ms. Mettner!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A SACRED JOURNEY; Author: Doreen Cox; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Such an incredible story! Doreen Cox's expressive style of writing drew me into Leah's mystical journey. I felt like I was beside Leah the entire time, experiencing the sights, sounds and magic of the forest, sharing her joy and peace. Leah was completely in tune with her surroundings and had a special connection with the animals. I loved the author's keen way of giving the animals an incredible part in this story. The author's well-constructed, surprise ending drew a range of emotions from me. Well done, Ms. Cox!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Life After Death (Max Logan #2); Author: Sharon Saracino; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Loved this story! I found myself chuckling and sometimes laughing out loud at the main character, Maxine "Max" Logan. She's an intelligent, snarky woman that was first introduced in book one - Death Benefits. After reading that book, I couldn't wait to see what the author would do with her in this one. All I can say is, Sharon Saracino delivered. When Max is summoned to retrieve her ex-husband, current boyfriend Roger-the-proctologist, from the Between, her strength and resilience are tested to the near breaking point. At the risk of giving too much away, I just want to say that Max has what it takes when she needs it. Despite her fears and self-doubt she comes through with shining colors. The author surprised me with a special twist I never saw coming. Even with all the great humor and conflict that make the story, there are some heartwarming sentiments that tie in with the title - Life After Death. Great job, Ms. Saracino! I have a feeling we haven't heard the last from Max.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: EVERWUD The TREE, The BOY & The DOG; Author: Marilyn Dieckmann; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: When a book can take you back a few years with the innocence of its characters; the way they think, the way they talk, it's pure magic. Everwud made me smile right away with the introduction of Joey. What I loved about him is that in spite of being an orphan he's full of love and expectation. He's bright, cheery and all boy. The author put Joey in some situations where it would've been easier for him to run for cover than to follow his heart. This story reveals Ms. Dieckmann's keen imagination and creativity. It will be a joy to read the next book in this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Granted Redemption (The Northern Lights Series Book 1); Author: Katie Mettner; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: I love this author. I've read her Sugar series and couldn't wait to dive into her The Northern Lights series with this book. Once again, Katie Mettner has written a down-to-earth story that drew me in from the beginning and kept me turning the pages by putting her characters, Grant Harris and Carla Coffers, through a gamut of obstacles. I like Katie's easy dialog. You feel like you're part of the conversation and experience. There were some surprises that I feel deepened the stakes for Grant and Carla. Yes, they get their happily-ever-after, but boy did Ms. Mettner make them work for it. Can't wait for the next book in this series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Echoes of Love; Author: Hannah Fielding; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: If you're looking for a fast-paced book to read during your lunch hour, this is not it. The Echoes of Love is a love story to be read slowly and savored. Ms. Fielding's eloquent style of writing and choice of exotic location (Italy) made this a joy to read. This story is rich with description and I was able to get a solid grasp of the characters, setting, and language. Paolo and Venetia's journey to love is heartwarming but it's also filled with plenty conflict -- their pasts and the strong secondary characters that try to keep them apart. Kudos to Ms. Fielding for the surprise twist. In my humble opinion, The Echoes of Love is worthy of becoming a classic.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Peek at Bathsheba (The David Chronicles #2); Author: Uvi Poznansky; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, romance, fiction; Review: This is the first time I've read this author and it won't be the last. I loved A PEEK OF BATHSHEBA! Ms. Poznansky transported me back to an interesting period of time with history, romance, and her eloquent style of writing. I enjoyed her unique way of describing the actions and reactions of her characters. She did a marvelous job with the setting as well. I especially liked how she ushered in a new era with the ending. In error I started with Book #2 in the David Chronicles. I'll get Book #1 and I'm sure I'll enjoy it just as much.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Undiscovered Angel (Earthbound #1); Author: Sharon Saracino; Genres: paranormal, fantasy; Review: I was intrigued right off the bat at how the author set the story up and the way she unfolded the romance a little at a time. Kat and Kassian are two interesting and likable characters that I grew to love. Their struggles to discover some truths about themselves and each other were told in such a way I had to keep reading. Their psychic and empath abilities are incredible but also a pain for them at times. Throw in Jack the Ripper and the difficulties deepened. I enjoyed the author's writing style, keen sense of setting, and her ability to get in her characters heads to provide a story that left me smiling and thirsty for the next installment in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Charlottes Restrained; Author: Celia Kennedy; Genres: thriller, crime, romance, mystery; Review: This is my first time reading this author and I have to say I loved her talent for storytelling. The main character, Charlotte, was very bright and witty. She gave me some laugh-out-loud moments and I felt her discomfort with the restraining order. Ms. Kennedy threw in a twist I never saw coming - loved it! I will definitely read this author again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sleeping through the Beauty; Author: Regina Puckett; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: This was a story of love and self-discovery for both Phillip and Rose. It's a short story but the author did a great job of drawing emotions from her characters and from me as the reader. Ms. Puckett expertly put her characters in a situation where there were no guarantees of getting a happily-ever-after ending. I won't give away any spoilers. All I'll say is I truly enjoyed reading this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Autumn Reflections (The Northern Light Series Book 2); Author: Katie Mettner; Genres: romance; Review: Autumn Hanson is a strong woman who has so much on her plate with the special needs of her son, Grayson. When Kade Franco enters the picture he turns Autumn's heart upside down and wins over Grayson. Autumn, Kade, and Grayson click but Ms. Mettner threw plenty of obstacles (both physical and emotional) in their way. I like the appearance of Ace in this story. Who's Ace? You'll have to read this incredible book to find out. I can honestly say the author knows how to write a very deep, emotional, and memorable story that touches on a lot of issues. I found myself giggling a few times and getting choked up a lot. Well done, Ms. Metter! I'm eager for the next book in this series. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: December Kiss; Author: Katie Mettner; Genres: romance; Review: I read Snow Daze (the first book in A Snowberry Christmas series) last November and couldn't wait for this book -- December Kiss. Ms. Mettner has once again written a story that dealt with serious issues but she did it in an easy-to-relate kind of way. I could picture her characters - Jay and December - vividly. I felt what they felt - the tenderness, the struggles, angst, and joy. I liked how the author used a secondary character - Sunny -- to give the reader even more moments of awe. There were a few surprises along the way too. This story touched my heart and I had no choice but to fall in love with the characters.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Christmas Light; Author: Jolyse Barnett; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: I loved Jade and Ben's story. The author drew from their past to create a warm and touching Christmas story filled with chemistry, conflict, and finally love. I enjoyed Ms. Barnett's easy style of writing and I particularly liked that she chose the Adirondacks as the setting. It's a heartwarming story for a cold and snowy night. I'm sure I will read this author again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lucci-The No Smoochie Poochie; Author: Donna L. Sadd; Genres: children; Review: I really liked this book. The concept of Lucci being a no smoochie poochie is adorable. It takes Lucci a while to get that kisses are a sign of affection. Every page made me smile. The illustrations are sweet. I can't wait to read this book to my granddaughters who are big dog lovers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Case for Calamity; Author: Mackenzie Crowne; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the author's crisp and entertaining style of writing. I found Calamity Jane Whitmore to be bright and hardworking, with a personality that is easy to love and root for. Gabe Sutton sounds delicious but he's a man with more than great looks going for him. He's Jane's perfect match. After the way they met and the conflict it stirred, I wasn't sure they'd be able to sort things out to get that happily-ever-after. Ms. Crowne did a great job on this story and I can't wait to read more of her work.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Angel Unbound (Earthbound #2); Author: Sharon Saracino; Genres: paranormal, fantasy; Review: I've anxiously awaited this story -- book #2 in the Earthbound series! For me, Callista McAllister and Luca Fiorelli's story is 5-star all the way!! Callie is an intelligent woman but she'd been held in captivity for so long by Jacques Rapier (Jack the Ripper) she had no idea how the world has changed and the danger it presents. Enter Luca. Callie and Luca had known each other for a very long time, with feelings that had never been acted upon. When Luca helped rescue Callie in book #1, I knew that the author would give them their own story. The chemistry and sexual tension abounds, but so does the conflict. They have so much to work out, so much past hangs between them. Ms. Saracino's intricately-woven plot gets them from point A to B, but whew! I wasn't sure if they'd get their happily-ever-after. So many great lines in this book, but I think my favorite is: He'd lost her once. Losing her twice would destroy him. The Italian setting won me over as well! Two-thumbs up for this story. I can't wait for book #3!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Noel's Hart; Author: Katie Mettner; Genres: romance; Review: In book #3 of Katie Mettner's Snowberry series, she once again delivers a story with serious issues and powerful messages but she puts her unique, heartwarming spin on the situation with her characters - Noel and Savannah. Both are lovable and their story is filled with tenderness, trust, faith, and conflict. There are two passages that are my favorites -- 1.) Noel says to Savannah, "Right now in this moment, I wish I could always be your bridge." 2.) Noel's internal thoughts: She loves me. It wasn't the drugs talking. She was scared I was going to leave, that was so real the room throbbed with it. Ms. Mettner's easy style of writing drew me into the story; stirring my emotions, making me feel what her characters felt. I love when an author can make that happen.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Larken; Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: I love historical romance with strong heroes and heroines. I also love to watch what happens to them when love enters the picture. S. G. Rogers did an awesome job with Larken and Brandon. The conflict was there right away but the attraction was paced. The plot twists near the end were genius! At the end, the author mentioned a sequel. I can't wait to read it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Into the Crossfire (First Force, #1); Author: Cindy McDonald; Genres: thriller, crime, romance, mystery; Review: The author started the story with intrigue right away. You could sense the danger and knew something terrible was going to happen. Jack Halliday is a lovable character while also being tough. In the midst of the action Ms. McDonald introduced the adorable little Lil - Jack's daughter. She steals your heart. A lot happened in this story that made me smile, frown, feel what the characters felt, and wonder if it was possible that things will turn out okay. The author handled things in an awesome way. She made me root for the good guys and want to beat the snot out of Gunner and Officer Mowrey. I could easily see this as a made-for-TV series. This was the first time I've read this author. I enjoyed this story so much I'll be reading the next book in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Gift for Fiona (Love Letters #2); Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: S. G. Rogers has done it again! What a lovely romantic story! Filled with intrigue, misdeeds and romance, the author has spun a tail that takes you to England in the midst of the Season. You could feel things sizzle between Fiona and Rory right away in this sweet love story. But the road to love and trust wasn't so easy. Cleverly crafted, Ms. Rogers throws quite a few roadblocks in the hero and heroines way. Plenty of villains to go around in this tale. I love the nuances of this time period and how the ton were supposed to behave in every aspect of their lives. Cleverly crafted, the author makes you think all is lost for Fiona and Rory, partly because of those nobility nuances. The characters had to work hard to get their happily-ever-after. I loved this second book in the Love Letters series and am eager for book three.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Molly Hacker Is Too Picky!; Author: Lisette Brodey; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: I finished Molly's story last night and I'm still smiling. I truly enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. Conflict of some sort on almost every page but the author keenly injected humor along with the troubles she entrenched Molly in. I laughed out loud many times. Molly Hacker is a relatable character who's afraid to give her heart to the wrong man after having her heart broken. I totally understood where she was coming from. She tries to give each guy a fair shake but she just can't give herself fully to them, even when there's some delicious chemistry at stake. Molly is a fun, engaging character who is brutally honest - mostly with herself. I love the rapport she has with her co-worker and close friend, Randy. Regarding the author's style of writing, I found it to be fresh and sassy. Love the unique way she describes things. There were many unexpected twists I never saw coming. At the end of the story, everything was answered. Ms. Brodey penned a story that has won me as a fan.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Smitten With Death (Max Logan #3); Author: Sharon Saracino; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I truly enjoyed the third installment of the Max Logan series. While there are serious underlying issues at stake for Maxine "Max" Logan, she handles her life the best way she knows how - with phenomenal snark. I found myself grinning and other times laughing out loud. She's a hoot but deep down she's trying to figure out her life as a widow and the stirrings of attraction for Morgan Kane. Max is a retriever and Morgan is the grim reaper. The chemistry sizzled and their quirks clashed which kept me reading until I knew where their alliance would take them. The author did a great job with Max and Morgan. 5 stars; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Triptychs (Mind's Eye #3); Author: Darcia Helle; Genres: poetry; Review: I enjoyed this unique collection of short stories, poetry, photos and talent. Each author had something different to offer and revved my imagination. I had my favorites but I truly liked the assortment of creativity.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: April Melody: A Snowberry Easter (The Snowberry Series Book 4); Author: Katie Mettner; Genres: romance; Review: I have read several Katie Mettner books and I can truly say that each one is special in its own way. This one, however, won me over. April and Crow's story is touching and tearful, joyful and humbling, with messages of love and forgiveness, overcoming physical issues and finding perfect love in imperfect situations. There are a few scenes that will stay with me for a very long time; two in particular - when April falls in the lake, and when Crow seeks out Jake's father. I won't go into detail regarding them because when you read the book I want the full impact to hit you like they did me. The road to true and unconditional love in Ms. Mettner's books are always paved with phenomenal emotional conflicts - generated in part by physical conflicts - that her characters have to rectify together in order to get their happily-ever-after. On a side note: I have a nephew who is deaf so I was interested in how Ms. Metter would handle April's impairment. I believe she did an awesome job conveying the struggles and reality of the disability. In the case of Crow's impairment, she also did an excellent job with details that can only come from either having known someone with similar circumstances or in depth research.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Warble (The Bernovem Chronicles Book 1); Author: Victoria Simcox; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: This is an incredible fantasy filled with intrigue and danger at every turn. The author made me care about Kristina right off the bat. Kristina suffered emotional hits by three kids in school who made it their mission to bully her. Their teacher gives Kristina a special gift...and the adventure of a lifetime begins! The author has spun a tale so fantastic I wasn't sure where Kristina would land when it was finished. I believe every story needs strong secondary characters. I was thrilled when Werrien entered the story and also a handful of other chacters who helped drive the plot and prop up Kristina and Werrien when they needed it. Surprises abound in this story. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, the author presented a new twist. The ending is spectacular! I feel Ms. Simcox did an excellent job with the settings in this book too. I could picture the surroundings so vivivdly. This is an enchanting tale I'm tickled to have read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jumper; Author: Rebecca Scarberry; Genres: children; Review: I bought this book for my granddaughters but with all books I purchase for them I read it first. Jumper is a red beach ball who wants to have fun with kids in a pool or at Carnival Castle but he has to escape from the bin in the store to make it happen. That's where the adventure begins. The author did a great job of bringing Jumper to life. This is a delightful tale with a lot of action and easy-to-picture settings. The illustrations are a bonus.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Shard; Author: Victoria Simcox; Genres: young-adult, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fantasy, mystery; Review: Having enjoyed book #1 - The Warble, in The Bernovem Chronicles, I had to read book #2 The Shard to see how the author would continue the story. What I liked right away about book #2 was the way Ms. Simcox started with the main characters being a few years older than in the first story. Kristina and Werrien's emotions were on a new level. The Shard is an enchanting fantasy filled with suspense, mystery, and nonstop action. I think the author nailed the art of description/setting. I could vividly picture vividly what the characters looked like and where they were. The twists the story takes were exciting and unexpected. My favorite part of this story was the awesome ending!! I won't even hint at what happened in the end so I don't ruin it for others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kira: Prequel to the Yden Trilogy; Author: S.G. Rogers; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance; Review: Kira is a strong, no-nonsense girl who's fiercely loyal and protective of those she cares about. She'd rather throw knives and engage in sword play than embrace her feminity. When she's forced to stow her fighting garb for a dress, Kira's beauty is revealed and so is her softer-side. She's sent away from Nomad Territory temporarily and this is where the chaos begins and doesn't let up until she lands in prison. In this prequel, the action and adventure that takes place on every page is the perfect setup for book #1 in the Yden trilogy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Colin Preston Rocked And Rolled; Author: Bert Murray; Genres: non-fiction, fiction, young-adult, romance; Review: Great story! It was interesting to get a guy's take on romance, love, and breakups. The author did an awesome job of making me feel and understand what Colin Preston was going through. The plot and setting were believable. What really got me was the simple yet powerful message at the end of the story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Time of Death; Author: Ellis Vidler; Genres: romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Format: audio version via Audible.com I truly enjoyed the thrill and suspense of this story. The story hooked me right away with Alex's psychic ability. Ms. Vidler did a great job with Alex and Connor's characters. There was chemistry between them but the plot remained the focus of the story, not the romance. The description of the settings and the constant action taking place were well-crafted. I rooted for Alex to stay safe despite the attempts to take her out. Everything pointed to the bad guys winning on this one. Connor was a great hero and Isabelle was a sweet character too. I loved the inclusion of Jax, the retired police dog. He added a special touch to the story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tales From The Cacao Tree (Mind's Eye Series Book 4); Author: Darcia Helle; Genres: poetry; Review: This is the 4th installment of the Mind's Eyes series. I found it unique and enjoyable. There was fantasy, suspense, contemporary romance and a variety of eclectic poetry - something there for everyone. The authors and poets did a great job working decadent dark and milk chocolate into their stories giving the collection an unusual spin. Kudos to Kim Stapf, Helle Gade, and Martin David Porter for the photography accompanying each story or poem. It was a nice touch.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bioprints (O'Rourke Crime Novels #1); Author: R.C. Carter; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: Richly layered with suspense, this book kept me guessing from chapter to chapter. I feel the authors did a great job with the setting to put me into the landscape of the story so it felt like I was there as things were going down. There was an undercurrent of romance between Ryan and Siobahn, just enough to appeal to the romance reader in me but not enough to distract from the plot. The modern technology threw everyone for a loop...and it was a nice touch. I was intrigued throughout the entire story and I will definitely move on to book #2 in this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: One Small Candle, The Story of William Bradford and the Pilgrim Fathers; Author: Evelyn Tidman; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The author put a lot of emotion into the scenes and I'll admit to sniffing back tears a few times. Life in the 1600's was difficult. It was filled with hardships and complications, yet respectful behavior was a must. In this story, the Separatists were longing for freedom to practice religion in their way. After lots of problems at home they set off to America to start their own colony. In the process they lost many loved ones. Ms. Tidman did an excellent job of presenting the story in such a way that I experienced the journey with her characters. If you love reading historical fiction, this book might be for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mystical High (The Desert Series, #1); Author: Lisette Brodey; Genres: young-adult, romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I loved this story! The friendship between Jinxsy and Jessie is awesome. They're true blue to each other and to those they love. Lots of serious issues come to light in the book. How Ms. Brodey has her characters deal with everything that's thrown at them is what kept me hooked. I could feel the characters turbulent emotions, but also their joy. There were twists and turns I didn't see coming and I'll admit to getting misty-eyed when the author tied everything together in the end. I'm eager to delve into book #2 in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maggie's Turn; Author: Deanna Lynn Sletten; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: This story has incredible depth! Or should I say the author's style of writing is easy but the subject matter and the emotions pulled from me as a reader were intense. Maggie's Turn is the best piece of women's fiction I've read in a long time. My take away from reading Maggie's story is that despite her many obligations and the love she felt for her family and friends - including her undeserving husband, she had to heal her heart by going away for a while. She had to reaffirm to herself and to others that her feelings and happiness count too. Her actions were abrupt and shocking - even to her. Anyone who's had even the slightest difficulty with their mate - whether it be their husband or wife - will understand how torn Maggie was. It took strength and conviction for Maggie to be happy again! In my opinion, this is a must read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casa de Naomi (The House of Blessing, #1); Author: Paula Rose Michelson; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction; Review: Thoroughly enjoyed book one in this series. Naomi's story is rich with detail and subtly layered with history. I loved Naomi's character from the start. She was intelligent, trustworthy, and loyal. She showed strength by leaving all that was familiar to come to a new country. Driven by her faith yet shielding it at the same time for self-preservation, she had me rooting for her throughout the story. I was completely invested in her growth as a woman and in her religious convictions. I won't reveal how the story ends because I don't wish to spoil it. All I can say is the author set things up perfectly for book #2.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: No Other Choice (The Naomi Chronicles #1); Author: Paula Rose Michelson; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Thoroughly enjoyed book one in this series.

Title: Head Over Heels for the Boss (The Donovan Brothers, #3); Author: Susan Meier; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: Sweet romance done right. This was a truly enjoyable book. There were lots of things going on in Devon and Isabelle's story that could've kept them from a happily-ever-after. Will definitely read more of Susan Meier's work.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Medallion (The Bernovem Chronicles Book 3); Author: Victoria Simcox; Genres: paranormal, fantasy; Review: Having read Book #1 - The Warble, and Book #2 - The Shard, I couldn't wait to dive into Book #3 - The Medallion. I'm happy to say the author didn't disappoint. She took the main characters, Kristina and Werrien, in a direction I couldn't have anticipated. It kept the series fresh and made me want to keep reading. There were plenty of surprises that had me thinking, 'wow!'. Kristina and Werrien's journey in this book is about their survival and trying to figure out who's good/who's evil. The author does an excellent job of describing her characters, where the action is taking place, and how they feel as things unfold. I truly enjoyed this fantasy adventure and look forward to Book #4.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Moon, Mist & Magic; Author: Maureen L. Bonatch; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance; Review: Thoroughly enjoyed the stories in the anthology. They were unique and stirred my imagination. Loved the romance, humor, conflicts, and paranormal elements. All five authors did a fantastic job and I'm going to add them to my reading list.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dancing with Air (Still Life with Memories #4); Author: Uvi Poznansky; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: The only way to describe this book is that it's a 'work of art'. The author painted an incredible picture with her words in this historical romance set in WWII. I absolutely loved Lenny and Natasha's characters. Lenny's loyalty to both Natasha and his country were exceptional. Natasha shared her gift of music with the troops to boost morale. She won me over on so many instances in this book but especially in one particular scene when she allowed her intuition to rule the moment and not her emotions. The author presented Lenny and Natasha with many situations that could've ended their relationship, but their love triumphed. Ms. Poznansky did an awesome job with this story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DESERT STAR (The Desert Series Book 2); Author: Lisette Brodey; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, young-adult; Review: I loved book #1 - Mystical High in the Desert series so I knew I would feel the same about book #2 - Desert Star. The author didn't disappoint. Ms. Brodey gives us two main characters, Larsen and River in Desert Star who you can't help but care about right away. There's also an amazing cast of secondary characters that add to the conflict and to the joy in this story. Larsen's world spins out of control when he is bullied for being gay and when his own mother turns her back on him because she can't deal with who he is. River comes to his defense and they become great friends. The trials of being teens in high school seems to multiply by the day. On top of it, there's a paranormal element that fits into this story perfectly. In my humble opinion, this is a well-thought-out tale that brings to light - bullying, the difficulties of being LGBTQ, insecurities, starting over in a new school, the haunts of your past, parents who don't support their children even if they don't agree with their lifestyle, how great friends can make all the difference in your life and bring out the best in you, and more. Because this book was so good, I can't wait to dive into book #3 - Drawn Apart.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wicked Winifred; Author: Katie Mettner; Genres: romance; Review: The title and cover art for this book are excellent. The story itself? Amazing. The author drew me in with a lighthearted beginning with her characters being coerced in taking part in a night of speed dating while dressed in costume. While that was a fun start to the story the plot thickened considerably. Winifred (aka Winnie aka Freddie) and Flynn, were two flawed characters who had quite a bit of healing to do due to battling emotional blows at an early age. Winifred's emotional trauma came from having lost her parents at sixteen, Flynn's were the result of physical abuse by his mother when he was a baby. This is a work of fiction, but those situations are all too real. They gave this story phenomenal depth. Initially I wasn't sure I would like Winifred because she had such an attitude about life and people but little by little I discovered a person worth caring about. Flynn was easy to love from the get-go. Winifred and Flynn falling for each other seemed unlikely, yet it happened. The attraction between them was powerful but so was the emotional baggage. Ms. Mettner made Winifred work to be a better person. She also made Winifred and Flynn work hard to get their happily-ever-after. The secondary characters in this story were awesome too!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: If You're Haunted Flaunt It; Author: Sharon Saracino; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance; Review: This was a fun paranormal romance with a lot of laughs and snark, but it was so much more. At the heart of Lucy and Jackson's story are some deep messages about learning to accept who you are and letting down your guard to allow yourself to fall in love. This book also addresses bullying. Lucy survived those early years of not quite fitting in and the unkind reputation bestowed on her, but post-high school she was fortunate to find out the reasons behind the cruel behavior. While the author gave her characters a lot to deal with she did so in a humorous way by giving Lucy some hilarious secondary characters (Darla and Gran). Lucy and Jackson get their happily-ever-after but I wasn't sure it was going to happen. Ms. Sharon provided a satisfying and memorable ending.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hating Christmas (Holiday, #1); Author: Carol Rose; Genres: romance; Review: This was a highly entertaining story with serious romance at the heart of it. I could relate to the two main characters, Holly and Levi. They felt real to me. The author put them in a difficult, touchy situation where their parents' happiness was concerned, then she expertly added more conflict with regards to their jobs. Chemistry sizzled heavily between them and they resisted, until they couldn't. I think the author did a fine job with the setting too. It provided a subtle backdrop to show the fun side of Holly and Levi. I'm glad I read this book. It made me chuckle a lot and gave me that moment of 'ahhh' at the end. It also helped put me in the Christmas spirit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crazy for Her (K2 Team, #1); Author: Sandra Owens; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: Lots of emotion, action, suspense, and sexual tension in the story. I connected right away with the characters -- Dani and Logan. I think the author did justice to the loss of Dani's husband and the reasons Logan had to remain a few steps back for a while. There were some unexpected surprises that heightened my eagerness to keep reading. I loved this story and can't wait to dig into book 2 in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Drawn Apart (The Desert Series, #3); Author: Lisette Brodey; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, mystery; Review: I've read the other two books in the Desert Series and wondered how the author would spin Avalon and River's story in book #3. I finished reading last night before bed and the story details were still with me when I woke. I absolutely loved how Ms. Brodey gave Avalon a best friend and soul mate in Stephanie (they affectionately call each other North and South). Steph is in an accident and ends up in a coma. The real story starts from there. I think the author did a great of job with the flashbacks and current situation of their friendship. While Avalon tries to handle the tragedy, she also tries to deal with her feelings for River. She fears losing the love of a dear friend to an accident and the love of River to another girl. Avalon is stressed to the max. One scene in particular made me cry. In the midst of all that chaos, the author tossed another heart-tugging issue out there - a selfish mother who tries to manipulate Avalon. The twists and turns in this book kept me intrigued. The paranormal element tied everything together perfectly in this story and the series as a whole. (side note: yesterday while waiting in line in Arby's drive-thru, I read a few pages because I had to know what happened next); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kissing Hollywood; Author: Monica Collier; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: The story starts with the heroine, Alexandria having a sour taste in her mouth regarding love due to a divorce. I think that's a very real thing for someone who gave their heart then had it broken. The real challenge then for the author was to slowly give her character a reason to feel otherwise about the best thing in life - love. I feel Ms. Collier did an excellent job portraying Alexandria Casey as a hardworking woman who is trying to regain her footing, only to have her cross paths with hunky Hollywood actor Parker Grey, who happens to be charmingly British. The attraction between them is immediate but there are obstacles in their way. One particular obstacle made me smile - Alexandria is older than Parker. I'm not sure how I would feel if I was in her shoes. Would it be a 'deal breaker' so to speak on the attraction? Maybe. I loved how the author handled the situation. I also loved how Alexandria and Parker's faith played a great part in this story. For me, I feel as though a great story also includes awesome secondary characters who reveal things about the main characters, and ally themselves to the hero/heroine when they're needed the most. Ms. Collier did just that with Alison and Michael. I truly enjoyed this sweet romance and look forward to reading more from this author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Secrets of the Dead (Ambrose Lincoln Series Book 1); Author: Caleb Pirtle III; Genres: fiction; Review: This book was fantastic! The opening scene captivated me and the need to keep reading continued. Mr. Pirtle created an intriguing character in Ambrose Lincoln that was unlike any I've read before. At first, Lincoln seemed heartless, without a soul, unlovable, a shell of a man. As the story progressed and deepened, my opinion of him changed. Still, he was on the fringe of good and bad. His relationship with Rachel Gruner, however, won me over completely and my heart went out to him. This book is an excellent historical thriller filled with great characters, mystery, danger, deception, and vivid settings. The author's clean, crisp style pulled everything together to make a spectacular read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Rip in the Veil (The Graham Saga #1); Author: Anna Belfrage; Genres: history, young-adult, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I love time-travel stories because the entire time I'm reading I'm wondering when the person is going back and how the experienced changed them. In this book, Alexandra and Matthew's tale is amazing. Alex went from living a comfortable life to one quite rugged. She was shocked and scared, yet had strength I admired. When she needed to be, she was fierce. I think her strength set the bond between her and Matthew. They grew to care deeply for each other. The author did a great job of balancing the past with the present. She gave the story and characters phenomenal depth with some twists, turns, and surprises. It has a great ending. I won't share how it went, because it makes the story so rich. There were some small threads not tied up, but they weren't relevant to the outcome of the ending. I'm sure the were left untied so they can be addressed in the subsequent books in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: The Highlander's Hope: A Contemporary Highland Romance (THE HUNT) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Cali MacKay Page; Review: I went into this book with no expectations and simply fell in Love with it. It is a very well written, fast paced read that you will want to read! The descriptions were enough to make you imagine you are in the beautiful Scottish Highlands but not over done.

The second book in the Weekday Brides series by Catherine Bybee is just as Great as the first book Wife by Wednesday!!! I am so in love with the men in these books...they are Amazing! The heroine's are great too. With both books in this series I have been unable to stop reading once I started (that's why I finished both in 3 days...I took a day off in between) because they are so well written with great story lines that flow so well. Catherine Bybee truly knows how make you fall in love with the characters in her stories and wish you were the heroine with the amazing hunks she writes.

Title: Lady Eve's Indiscretion (Windham Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Grace Burrowes Page; Review: I love this book as I have all of the books about the Windham family. I can't wait to read Jenny's story. These books tell great stories of each of the Windham siblings and of the family as a whole. You can't go wrong with any of them.

Title: Be My Prince (Royal Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's Julianne MacLean Page; Review: Be My Prince is a good read! I really enjoyed it. I love that Alex was true to her heart but I was a little disappointed that the Prince did not trust Alex for most of the book. Considering their relationship started out by both of them deceiving the other and he expected Alex to forgive him; yet he didn't forgive Alex and was distrustful throughout. Besides that it was a great story that is very entertaining with a good amount of suspense.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Safe With Me (With Me In Seattle); Author: Visit Amazon's Kristen Proby Page; Review: Wow...what a great read! Once I started reading this story I never put the book down until I finished it. I have loved every book in this series and this one is no exception. Brynna and Caleb's love story is amazing! This author is so good at drawing you into her stories and making you feel what the characters are feeling. I am in love with this whole fictional family. Caleb is a super sexy Navy SEAL and Brynna is a single mom of twin 5 yr old girls. Brynna and her daughters are in potential danger and Caleb moves in with them to keep them safe. The attraction between H/h is palpable and there are some hot sex scenes in this book. I loved reading how they fell in love and began to acknowledge it. However, Caleb is dealing with PTSD issues and is afraid of his feelings for Brynna and her daughters and feels he isn't good enough for them due to his issues. He eventually sees the light and they get their HEA but it's interesting getting there and what a great ending. I love this book and would give it 10 stars if I could but 5 is the highest I can go here. Buy this book...you will love it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I want more of Jean Pierre!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rainshadow Road: A Novel (Friday Harbor); Author: Visit Amazon's Lisa Kleypas Page; Review: Once again, Lisa Kleypas has written a flawless, amazing love story with awesome characters that you can't help but love and some you will love to hate. The story deals with significant issues for both the H/h. The hero, Sam grew up with alcoholic parents and doesn't believe in marriage and will not commit to any one woman as a result. The heroine, Lucy grew up with a sister, Alice who almost died at age 5 from meningitis and was always catered to by their parents after her near death experience causing Lucy to be jealous and resentful of Alice. The sister, Alice grows up expecting to get handed everything she wants because she has always had it that way. Alice ends up sleeping with Lucy's boyfriend, Kevin who she lived with and had been with for 2 years. Kevin tells Lucy about Alice and breaks up with her. Lucy meets Sam within an hour of her break up and they are immediately attracted to each other but both are very weary. Kevin runs into Lucy again and tries to pursue her but she isn't interested, especially when he lets her know that he will only ever be a friend with benefits but nothing more. At first, Lucy knows she isn't ready to jump into any kind of relationship after her break up with the douche bag, Kevin. But after more interaction with Sam, Lucy decides maybe she should experience a relationship without promises or commitment because if there are no promises then they can't be broken. Then the story gets really good! I'm not going to spoil it for you because I know you will enjoy reading it yourself. There is an element of magic in this book that didn't take it into the paranormal range but definitely added nicely to the story. I can't say enough good things about this book...just buy it now because it is that good! I loved this book so it will definitely be added to my keeper list and be read again many times I'm sure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

It's so well written and the plot twist threw me for a loop but was amazing. Toward the last 15% of the book I didn't think Colleen would be able to wrap it up completely as there was so much that needed to be resolved but she did it flawlessly! This story couldn't possibly be better. Thank you Colleen Hoover for sharing your gift with us! I will always remember November 9 and I'll definitely read it again which is something I rarely do. Get this book you will be so happy you did!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I know you will love this book so just buy it...you can thank me later. Enjoy!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Natural Born Charmer; Author: Visit Amazon's Susan Elizabeth Phillips Page; Review: I absolutely love everything about this book from the seriously smoking hot H-Dean and totally awesome h-Blue, to the great chemistry and seriously witty dialogue between the two...there are some great one liners that had me cracking up. The secondary characters were awesome too and you couldn't help but to root for them as well. They all came to life due to amazing writing and full character development. This story drew me in from the first page; the opening screen was so funny. The story flowed so well it was seamless. I hated having to put this book down for any reason until I finished it and immediately started missing the characters. Ultimately I had a very enjoyable escape with this story and highly recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Paper Princess: A Novel (The Royals); Author: Visit Amazon's Erin Watt Page; Review: Paper Princess is an amazing start to this new series! I was drawn in immediately and couldn't put it down. I love Ella & Reed and can't wait to read the next book. This story will give you lots of feels and have you rooting for these characters to get their HEA. I both hated & loved the Royals but the more their characters developed the more I fell in love with each of them. This story is full of emotion and angst and is very well written. And even though it ends in a cliffhanger it was well worth the read. Get it now...you'll be glad you did!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Worth the Fall (McKinney Brothers); Author: Visit Amazon's Claudia Connor Page; Review: Wow...just wow! I can't get over the depth of feelings this story gave me.

Matt is an amazing Hero in every way and you can't help but love and relate to the heroine Abby. The kids will have you wrapped around their little fingers just as they had Matt. This is an amazing story of real love, loss, heartbreak, healing, and family bonds that you will be happy you took the time to read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Nun Walks into a Bar (A Nun-Fiction Novel) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Tracey Jane Jackson Page; Review: I loved Sadie and Ryder's story. It's not a typical romance and it's even better because of its uniqueness. A nun and a biker/bar owner...you don't see that often. This story was funny and had a good level of suspense that kept me reading from beginning to end non-stop. It wasn't what I expected and I'm loved that too. I'm not going to give away any spoilers.

Title: Bounty (Colorado Mountain Series) (Volume 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Kristen Ashley Page; Review: I Love Deke & Justice's story! The Colorado Mountain series is phenomenal and this book definitely meets that standard. Deke: bad ass mountain man and hot as Hell, is the perfect fit for Justice "Jussy": gorgeous, rock gypsy queen who is dealing with the death of her superstar father, assholery of her brother, & downfall of one of her best friends when she buys a home in Carnal, Colorado that is under construction and barely livable, to try to find some peace and runs into the gorgeous man that stood her up seven years ago. This is classic Kristen Ashley, giving you all the feels while fully developing the H/h and their story which has a full compliment of secondary characters that make you wish these Colorado Mountain men and their beautiful babes existed outside of her amazing books...who wouldn't want to have a group of amazingly loyal, kind, supportive, and fun friends like them?!?! It was great to get a glimpse into the lives of the characters from the previous books in this series. I love that Kristen Ashley always gives that "Bounty" along with a hard won HEA because it gets you even more invested in each story of the series. Read Bounty and you will be thankful for the bounty of writing talent and story telling skill that defines Kristen Ashley's every book! I Love this author!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: A Lover's Lament; Author: Visit Amazon's K.L. Grayson Page; Review: I was hooked from the beginning and read this book in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. I had to know how Katie & Devin's story ended and I wasn't disappointed. This is a second chance love story that made me cry, laugh, stress, and fall in love.

Title: Where We Belong (Belong Series); Author: Visit Amazon's K. L. Grayson Page; Review: I love K.L. Grayson! Harley and Tyson's love story is a second chance romance that has all the feels and will keep interested until the end. I love that this author really makes you live the story with her characters because her writing is so damn good you can't help but be emotionally attached to her characters (including secondary characters...I want a best friend just like Quinn!) and invested in their story to the point of "feeling" their pain, regret, love, happiness, and reacting accordingly, tears, happiness, and plenty of laughter too. I hurt for Harley for all that she endured and walking through her journey of healing and getting to her HEA was awesome!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: SKLZ Power Sleeve - Portable Club Weighting System; Brand: SKLZ; Review: I really like this product. My goal is to swing 100 times a day. I've been doing this now for over 3 weeks. I originally was swinging two clubs at a time to add some weight. However, they twist and turn and it's hard to keep them together. So after searching around I found this product to use instead. So far I'm very happy with it. It's a good weight and it really helps you get loose. It helps slow down your swing too which helps you with your tempo. After swinging it about 70 times picking up another club feels like nothing. I also have a Taylor Made Speed Stik. My usual swing speed it is about 95 and never got it over 100. After swinging the Power Sleeve, I swing the Speed Stik at 100 almost every time and have got it up to 105 a few times as well. I believe the Power Sleeve definitely helps you pick up swing speed to hit the ball further. For the cons, its hard to keep the sleeve up on the shaft. No matter how tight I try to attach it, it slides down, especially when I try to hit balls with it on. It's a bit annoying but not a deal breaker. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fine Tune Golf Robocup Ball Return Robot; Brand: ProActive Sports; Review: This product works great. It's super cool and very helpful. One extra benefit of this product is it gets you putting the ball a little harder because you don't want to leave it short. Based on Pelz teaching of 17 inches passed the hole, you'll want to at least hit the ball so that hit hits the green band if you miss left or right a bit and then it funnels it to the hole and back to you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: GAME GOLF Live Tracking System; Brand: Game Golf; Review: I've used Game Golf now to track 31 rounds. I previously used Golf Logix. I became increasingly frustrated with Golf Logix because I report several major bugs like GIR calculations (which were incorrect) but were never fixed. Input and hole graphics were fantastic but stats were lacking. I was intrigued with Game Golf by the Insights and Strokes gained calculations and wanted to give it a try. I really enjoy all the metrics that Game Golf provides. You can spend a lot of time going through very detailed stats. You can filter by course and dates. Game Golf excels here. Game golf uses a device that clips on to your belt and then tags that screw into each club. Once you screw in the tags, you never notice them. They don't get in the way of the swing or grip at all. I actually like having to tap the tags on the belt device to indicate a shot, I'm in control of it. I rarely forget, and if I do it's easy on the phone app to add it in. That way after a hole, I can practice as many chips or putts as I want and they don't register as a shot. Now for a few things I think could be improved. The phone app works well. During or after a hole you can edit what happened. That works well. However, it would be nice to be able to rearrange shots. For some reason sometimes a drive is after a putt and you can't move it. You have to end up deleting the putts and starting over. That's minor because you can easily fix it later on the website. Where I'd like to see the most improvement is in the Hole view on your phone as your playing the round. You get a nice rendering of the hole. To view yardages you need to hold your finger down on the screen and a little zoom windows comes up with the distance. This is where some improvement is needed. The zoom view is small. It's hard to see exactly where you are, especially in the sun. It really hard to use to get any types of distances to locations. Overall a great product, I'd highly recommend it and I'll be continuing to use it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Casa Dorada Los Cabos Resort Spa; City: Cabo San Lucas Los Cabos Baja California; Review: Any negative review about the timeshare experience here is true. They could care less about you from GBS, the company that manages the time share bookings at the hotel, to the hotel itself. GBS has got to hold the world record for the poorest customer service ever. Their favorite word is "NO", their favorite attitude is "I could care less", no matter how irrational what they are sahying is. You have a problem? TOO BAD! It won't get resolved. I have had this expereince time and time again. Over and over again. The only redeeming quality is the location. The hotel was build with such shoddy craftsmanship (if any at all) that it's falling apart. The fixtures are cheap, the pool was falling apart the last time I was there. And it was jut built in 2005! The food is awful at the pool - heavy, greasy. Fresh fruit is a small fortune. If nothing else, you'll enjoy the location, but they are SO NOT a 4 or 5 star hotel. Far from it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: WhistleWood Farm Bed and Breakfast; City: Rhinebeck New York; Review: That could be because Maggie gets her eggs right from the chickens she has on her farm. The place is beautiful, and Maggie certainly tries to be the best hostess possible and will make sure that you are never hungry. The horses are gorgeous. The farm is about a 5 minute drive from the main business area in Rhinebeck so it's very convenient. I am not sure it warrants the high price tag - the room was lovely for the most part, but the bathroom was very outdated and poorly lit. I happen to love a really nice bathroom in a B&B or hotel so this was a particular sore spot for me, but on the other hand it must be quite expensive to run and maintain a farm that large. It really is a labor of love for Maggie.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Indigo Long Island East End; City: Riverhead Long Island New York; Review: My best friend booked this hotel as a nice little getaway for my birthday. The outside of the hotel is a bit deceiving - we found out as we were checking out that it used to be a Best Western so it definitley had that cheesy look to it, but they did a great job renovating the interior. It actually looks like they gutted it. We had a standard room with two double beds. It was small but the decor was tasteful and modern and the beds were VERY comfortable. We dined in the restaurant for dinner. There was a private party going on in the main dining room, and it was clear that that party took all of our resources becuase the dinner service was awful. However, the food was VERY good. Farm-to-table concept and everything was high quality and extremely fresh. The extremely poor service spilled over into the pool area, where we had to wait nearly a half hour for towels on a Sunday night at 5:30, and breakfast at the restaurant the following morning. I sure hope they work out their service kinks because the food was really good - when we finally got it - and the hotel is nice.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grafton Inn; City: Grafton Vermont; Review: The inn is classic and charming. The town is beautiful, with many of the properties owned and maintained by the Windham Foundation. The cheese, produced by the Grafton Cheese Company and also owned by the Windham Foundation, is amazing. There's a little shop where you can buy fine wines. Bring your bike, hike or go skiing in the winter. It's all right there. The restaurant serves great food, and there's a limited menu offered sometimes in the Old Tavern. If you are missing your latte, there's a town about 12 minutes away called Chester, and in it is the Moondog Cafe. The coffee/lattes/cappuccinos are awesome. Perfect, relaxing time in a picturesque New England town!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mill Street Inn; City: Newport Rhode Island; Review: This is an interesting inn a couple of blocks from the waterfront and main town of Newport. The decor is modern minimalist within an old factory (we think) building. It was very quiet, which was nice, and it was pretty clean. We visited during the Winter Festival and it was really cold. There are areas of the inn that are freezing - not the rooms, but the lobby and downstairs where the continental breakfast is served. It was uncomfortable eating in the freezing room, but the breakfast was nice with lots of healthy options. Overall the staff was knowledgeable and pleasant and we would definitely consider staying here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Balance Rock Inn; City: Bar Harbor Mount Desert Island Maine; Review: I don’t doubt that the positive reviews are warranted, based on people having a lovely room and no issues. Unfortunately that is not what happened with our stay. I don’t judge a place by a bad experience/s; they happen. I judge by what they do to remedy it – or not - and make you feel as if you’ve gotten some compensation for your inconvenience. I researched pet-friendly inns and came across the Balance Rock Inn. It sounded idyllic, and as it turns out Bar Harbor in general is a very pet-friendly town. It was more expensive at least by double than what we’d normally pay for an inn, but it’s peak season, I needed a vacation desperately, and I’ve never been to Maine. So we decided to splurge. While the pet friendly aspect of the inn is wonderful, we were unfortunately caught off guard by our dog being a little freaked out by the experience. She displayed some behavior we didn’t anticipate – she’s a rescue we’ve had for 6 months and maybe the trip from NY was a little ambitious. She barked/snapped at a couple of the gentleman that worked there. To their credit, they were very gracious about it and we had to be very careful to keep her away from people. On the 4th day she calmed down. Nearly everything I write here had been communicated to one or more staff members, and met with differing levels of “I am sorry”. The Room After reading some reviews on TA about how worn and dated the rooms were, I expressed my concern with the reservationist. She assured me those reviews were a couple of years old, there was a new owner, and “a lot of work” had been done to update. After going through several rooms with the reservationist, we landed on Room 208 with an ocean view, which sounded lovely. I didn’t much care about the whirlpool tub as they are rarely well maintained and tend to be very moldy. As is always the case, the pictures of the room online were taken on Day 1. When we arrived I was nearly in tears at the price we were paying vs. what the room was. The first thing I noticed was the VERY strong mildew smell from the bathroom. I have a mold allergy and noticed lots of black mold in the tiles. The room overall is in desperate need of a renovation. The couch fabric is bleached from the sun. The windowsills and window panes look as if they have never been cleaned. There are dried up drips and stains all over on the walls, windowsills, and woodwork. The lack of attention to cleanliness detail in a “luxury” inn is inexcusable, and overall the room just looked dirty, especially with the wall-to-wall carpet. The Pool and Deck The pool and deck are in a prime location, overlooking the ocean, but again the “dirty” look of the entire area are a put off for the price you pay. The cushions on the pool lounge chairs are totally moldy; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Beatle Mumbai; City: Mumbai Maharashtra; Review: This is by far the noisiest hotel I've EVER stayed in. DO NOT STAY ON 3rd FLOOR. Unbeknownst to us, there is a 24-hour gym on the 4th floor of this building, and make no mistake about it, people are in there 24 hours a day. The first night it sounded like the building was falling apart with the loudest crashing noises that scared the heck out of me and shook the building. Called downstairs TWICE and they said it was a party(?). Banging proceeded well into the night. Same thing the next night. Turns out it was the gym. WHO PUTS A 24-hour GYM ABOVE HOTEL GUEST ROOMS? In addition to all of the crashing and banging of the gym, we were treated to packs of feral dogs barking all night, and the call to morning prayers starting at 4 am. You need something fixed in the room? Don't hold your breath. They are not capable of handling more than one thing at a time, and it's debatable that they can even do that. The only plug near the bed was broken, the TV did not work, and the room was not maintained well with a lot of surfaces having years of dirty build-up on them. ICK!!!!! Find someplace else to stay. One positive thing - the food was good. Not great, but good.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Detroit Dearborn; City: Dearborn Michigan; Review: We were only here for one night. It's not in the nicest of locations, but it was near the Henry Ford village so that's what we needed for one night. We weren't looking for a resort. The rate was really good and the rooms are updated and modern. The one weird thing was how far the elevator was from the front desk.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gurney s Star Island Resort Marina; City: Montauk Long Island New York; Review: Very mixed feelings. We arrived on a boat. The slip was perfectly fine, lovely neighbors. For my nearly $700 per night we were put in an awful villa room that is on a property adjacent to the main property and looks like it's not connected in any way and a complete after thought. Pool areas were wayyy too small for the number of people there. It's high season and the marina was full and so was the hotel. The hotel shuttle is the biggest piece of crap, absolutely embarrassing, but the drivers were always very nice. We had an issue with the room the first night with a very loud neighbor who wanted to be moved, and then we moved into the main inn the following day at the request of the front desk to accommodate some other guests. We received some compensation for all of the trouble - and there was lots of it - breakfast vouchers and a small amount off the bill - but I would not go back there. For nearly $700 per night, I can think of an endless number of places I'd rather go. if you have a boat and are sleeping on it, then it may be OK, but without a car you are hostage to the crappy shuttle and dirty, VERY expensive cabs.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Beekman Arms and Delamater Inn; City: Rhinebeck New York; Review: The inn claims to be the oldest in the United States. It's in a great location, central to the town and it was only 1/2 mile to the fair. The staff was nice except for one very rude bar tender who didn't even ask us if she could help us, just looked at us and said she was closed. We stayed only one night in room 33. I was happy to get a last minute reservation. The room has two twin beds. The beds and bedding were pretty awful - no comfy mattress and fluffy comforter, but because it was only one night I didn't care all that much. If it were a longer stay it would have been an issue. They have done updates, however it would be great if the beds and bedding were updated as well to be more comfy. Room 33 also faces the back of the inn and we had the smell of the kitchen exhaust coming in through the air conditioner. Again, one night not a big deal but for a longer stay it would have been. The breakfast was very basic, no cooked food. It's not a B&B, it's an inn, so don't expect anything beyond bagels, yogurt, and bananas. We would go back for sure because of the wonderful history, but not stay in room 33.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Portola Hotel Spa at Monterey Bay; City: Monterey Monterey County California; Review: I arrived very late and it was very dark.It was REALLY hard to find the room - the hotel is very spread out - and no assistance was offered to make sure I could find it easily. I was first put in a room that had a VERY bright light right outside the window, and lots of noisy neighbors. Not good when you arrive at midnight from New York (really 3 am). It was a long trek to the first room, and then I needed to go all the way back to the front desk to get the key to the second room. This was confusing getting there as well and I got lost. They need to do a MUCH better job of helping people navigate the property. The second room was fine. I was able to get a 1 pm checkout which was helpful. I am not sure I'd go back. Besides, I don't get any points there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bushkill Inn Conference Center; City: Bushkill Pocono Mountains Region Pennsylvania; Review: Based on the reviews I was definitely not expecting this place to be as dumpy as it was. The grounds are a disaster and everywhere I looked - lobby, hallways, room, windows - there were gross smudges and splatters that screamed there isn't a cleaning staff aside from housekeeping. The grounds have such potential but they are totally neglecgted. The indoor pool had bird poop and dirt all around it. The cushions on the lounge chairs were stained and dirty. EVERYTHING WAS DIRTY. One of our party forgot a toothbrush. Not a toothbrush to be had on site there, and the people that worked there didn't seem phased that it's a hotel and they don't even have basic necessities for purchase. We had to drive 20 minutes to get one. Any other hotel I've stayed at has toothbrushes for guests for free. There were two large parties who proceeded to have all of the coffee available in the morning, so by the time we got there at 9:30 am it was empty. Hardly any staff - everyone seemed to be at the front desk doing nothing. The hotel layout is confusing. They did mow the dried up lawn all over our car, so that was nice to walk out to. And to top the weekend off, some inept person from the hotel called our home at 11:15 PM on Sunday night about a credit card getting declined. She didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it. WHO DOES THAT? WE BOOKED THROUGH HOTELS.COM! Never going back. NEVER RECOMMENDING THIS HOTEL.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Casa Dorada Los Cabos Resort Spa; City: Cabo San Lucas Los Cabos Baja California; Review: We visited in July 2016 after having not been here for about four years. The resort has done some updates - most for the better. Much of it as a direct result of damage from the hurricane three years ago. First the good: They put in a bar and coffee bar in the wasted space as you enter the main part of the hotel from the pool. This was definitely an improvement and the coffee and tea were really good. The food, although I don't think it's significantly different, is good at the pool. Breakfast buffet is fine, but it's $$ and unless you can eat a lot it may not be worth it for you. You can get good breakfast along the beach for a lot less. The juices are REALLY good. We didn't eat dinner at 12 Tribes - there were a lot of restaurants we wanted to try, and after being at the pool all day we wanted a change of scenery. Although there is still some seedy timeshare behavior going on, it wasn't as bad as past years. GlobeQuest (?) has taken over the timeshare sales, I think. I always find it very confusing as to what's what, which makes me very suspicious. I didn't engage with them, one guy became rude but eventually backed off. There are new chairs at the pool - at least since I was there last - and they were much better. The bad: They don't enforce the saved chairs at the pool rule, which is ridiculous. The pool "concierge" was around SOME of the time. If he's the pool concierge, and he's not at the pool, then where is he? Hmm. The rest of the men and women working around the pool were very nice, as was the service. We always went out early to sit at the pool, so didn't have too much trouble, but if you get there too late you'll see a lot of empty chairs with towels. The air conditioning in the rooms is still a challenge - always was since the place was built. It smells - granted I have a VERY sensitive sense of smell - and i wanted the doors open all night but with the noise it was hard to sleep and so it was not a very restful week. It cools the room but the smell made me a bit nauseous. The bathrooms in the junior suite are so poorly designed and so small - this is something they screwed up on. And they need to be renovated for sure. The ugly: We are on east coast time. The last time we had gone, it was relatively quiet. With the re-shuffling of 12 Tribes onto the outside deck and music and weddings and parties until late in the night makes the place MUCH more noisy at night.

Title: Residence Inn State College; City: State College Pennsylvania; Review: Booked a room on points. The cabinets clearly have not been updated in quite some time, and our dog kept finding things to lick on the carpet which was pretty gross. The carpet had a lot of stains. The room was kind of clean, but the bathroom fixtures were super old as well and the water came shooting out of the shower and the sink really fast and hard. ouch. The front desk offered to upgrade our room, which was very nice at the time, only to find out that we were charged an additional 5,000 points for the upgrade without being notified. It took a couple of calls to customer service (I was cut off the first time) to get the points back. That's time that I should not have had to spend. I was also woken up at 6 am by very loud banging and crashing and beeping outside which I can only assume was the garbage pick up. Really folks, you should schedule that for a more reasonable hour.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hope Town Harbour Lodge; City: Hope Town Elbow Cay Abaco Islands Out Islands Bahamas; Review: We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights while visiting the Abacos. They are doing some extensive remodeling during the slow season, so they offered us a room away from the remodeling and it was wonderful. We never heard any noise from the renovations, and the staff made sure we were comfortable with the accommodations. Candice was so helpful and pleasant. She suggested great restaurants and helped locate areas of interest. The hotel is very clean, and it is among the shops and restaurants in Hope Town. We can't wait to go back to see the updated renovations. Thanks to Candice & Paul for a great time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Mahalo Kahala Beach Resort for the time of our life.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Harveys Lake Tahoe; City: Stateline Lake Tahoe Nevada Nevada; Review: Our stay at Harvey's was a little disappointing because of several reasons. The hotel is in desperate need of updating. No coffee makers in room, no mini bars, no fridgerators. It was slow and it appeared that the guests were all placed on the same floor. We listened to children running around in the hallways, opening and closing the room door every 2 minutes. Finally called front desk about it and Tara explained that they just checked in and would have security check it out. But, she also said we should be happy because our stay had been quiet up until then, really? Next time we will probably stay at Hard Rock.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

I was trying to find meaning after finishing it, but as I read other people's reaction regarding this book, and Murakami, it doesn't seem like there's much to it. It is what it is.

Title: South of the Border; City: Hamer South Carolina; Review: I have always stopped at this attraction over the years...This time I decided to spend the night.....My room was very clean and check in was smooth. Yes the rooms are dated, but well preserved. I prefer to call them rustic...It was fun to browse the shops and have a burger and beer. It is true that you only get about 20 channels but who cares....Kids would love this place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Baltimore Marriott Inner Harbor at Camden Yards; City: Baltimore Maryland; Review: The marriot did not dissapoint. Parking and unloading were simple...Check in went smoothly and they were kind about early check-in without notice. A nice young woman from the netherlands checked us in and was very accomodating. As in most marriots the bed was wonderful....The location was great ! Camden Yards is across the street and you are just 5 minutes walking from the inner harbor. No complaints at all...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SpringHill Suites Pittsburgh North Shore; City: Pittsburgh Pennsylvania; Review: Went to Pittsburgh for a pirate game. The stadium is less than 150 feet from the entrance of the hotel. The hotel is wonderful. The rooms are large and very nice and clean. wet bar microwave and a small store open 24hrs in the hotel were nice. The staff was excellent. They could not do enough to care for any needs I had. They have a free shuttle that will take you anywhere in the city. They will also pick up at any time with just a phone call. The driver was also very nice. I went to Primanti Brothers for a sandwich. I have seen it on numerous TV shows over the years. I thought it a bit over rated and the service was poor...... The breakbast at the hotel is also nice ...waffles eggs bacon etc. the selection is large.....coffee 24/7....I think the thing that impressed me most was their allowing me to keep my car there , on the day of check out, without charging me. That happens rarely in todays world.....This place is all GOOD; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premiere Motor Inn; City: Wildwood Cape May County New Jersey; Review: I have been staying at the Premiere for years. Dottie, the owner is wonderful. She is very accomodating to your needs. The motel is close to the boardwalk. You are just about a block away. The rooms are nice, spacious and the air works well. The roof top pool is very nice with a lovely view of the atlantic. They offer grills and kitchens in most rooms. The prices are wonderful as well. You dont sacrafice savings for quality. See you next year Dottie...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Arizona Charlie s Boulder; City: Las Vegas Nevada; Review: I could go on and on about the poor service when I checked in. The old and dirty room. The tv with very poor reception etc.etc. So many better selections in this fine town. avoid it at all costs !; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Lewisburg; City: Lewisburg Pennsylvania; Review: The days inn is about 20 miles from the little league stadium. I suppose I should feel lucky that we found a room that close. It is not bad for one evening. It is old an dated. The fridge in our room did not work. The room was somewhat clean about what you would expect from a days inn. There is a large selection of restaraunts in the area. The continenal breakfast is poor at best. All in all a night is ok. I paid $90.00 for the room with a roll away; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Home2 Suites by Hilton Baltimore Downtown; City: Baltimore Maryland; Review: Home2suites is a nice and well maintained property. It is close to all of the major attractions. The rooms are spacious and clean. Check-in went smoothly. There are a number of restaurants that are near by. The price was very reasonable for such a property. All in all a great value.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premiere Motor Inn; City: Wildwood Cape May County New Jersey; Review: I have been staying at the Premiere motor inn for decades. I last reviewed this property in 2010. As always , we were not disappointed. I called Dottie , the owner, and let her know we would be arriving by 11 am. She told me she would get two people in our rooms so they would be ready as fast as possible. I was so thankful as I was traveling with a person in a wheelchair. I pulled up at 10:15 and sure enough on of our rooms was 5 minutes away from being ready. I can't begin to thank Dottie enough for her kindness. If you have stayed here in the past you will understand that it feels like you are going home. The rooms are spacious and clean. They are modern with all the amenities. You are located about 1 block from the center of the boardwalk. Also, the prices are less than several similar properties located close by. You have options of a single room to a suite with a kitchen. Thank you again Dottie and Bill. Another wonderful stay at a magnificent property. See you next June !!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vittoria Hotel and Suites; City: Niagara Falls Ontario; Review: We spent two nights at The Vittoria. We had an handicap room on the second floor. The layout was great. There was a large screen tv and fridge. We requested a microwave and received one. Check in was smooth and the people at the front desk were attentive and helpful. The only negative was that it is difficult to get an elevator during busy periods. Obviously, there is little that can be done. Finally, the location is great. You are in the heart of the action !!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Bamburi Beach Hotel; City: Mombasa Coast Province; Review: The positives:- Throughout our stay the service and friendliness of the staff was exceptional. The hotel was spotless and rooms were changed every day and were of a good size. Our air conditioning was brilliant, had no control of the level of air but it was nice cold and powerful so what more do you need. The hotel attracts lovely guests and we met some really nice people. As mentioned above all the staff were lovely and you really will hear 2000 Jambo's (Hellos) a day. In particular Mercie in the restaurant is lovely and a great source of local information. Also the chap with the limp looking after the towels and sunbeds is a credit to the hotel. There are a selection of DVD's to borrow and a player included in your room (in-case you wanted to take any of your own). I would wholly recommend not booking your safari/trips through your tour operator/rep. I have a contact who is reputable and who I used called Freddy Muthengi. His office is 5 minutes up the road and if you email/ring him he will come and pick you up (and drop you back off) and take you to his office where he can meet all of your needs and for much less money, plus you can haggle and have the choice of private safaris and vehicles. His email is [--]. We did a 3 day 2 night safair at Tsavo East and it was the trip of a lifetime. We chose a private safari and we did it in a 4x4 with an open top roof. The first night we stayed in a tented lodge (don't worry all with double beds and plumbed in bathrooms) called Dololo, which was brilliant and the staff couldn't do enough for you. It was great to have the experience of sleeping actually in the national park like that so close the the animals. It's completely safe though as you are guarded by a Massai Warrior with a spear! on the second night we stayed at Nguila lodge in Tsavo West which is famous for attracting leopard and rhino and we did manage to spot a leapord up there. I would recommend both places as good midrange to stay in. We went in the last two weeks of June which is off season but I would recommend it as the hotel is much quieter and you will be able to bartar harder for trips/safari etc. If you visit Kenya I really would book a safari if you can as it will make your holiday. The weather is great, we had rain in the first week but this is very unusual for this time of year. Around and about I would recommend visiting Haller Park which you can get to on the road in to Mobassa, it's only 3km from the hotel and you can get on the local buses (matatus) for 20ksh (about 17p) or walk or get a taxi. If you head out there for around 2pm you will get to watch them feed the crocs; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Saddle Inn; City: York North Yorkshire England; Review: I booked a couple of rooms for a weekend (one double for my fiance and i and a single for my brother) months in advance, over the telephone direct, due to its excellent location (my brother was getting married at the pavilion next door). At the time of booking I offered to pay a deposit but was told it was unnecessary and that we could pay on arrival. On the day of arrival, by chance before we left I called to see if the pub had wifi. When confirming my name I was told there was no booking for us or my brother, for either night. The owner tried to tell us the booking must have been taken by the previous owners and that there was only room for my fiancé and I, but not my brother and that it wasn't their fault. After persisting a solution needed to be provided I was told they would find a mattress to put on our floor for my brother to share our room. I hung up the phone and realised it wasn't the former owners I had booked it through as I booked it after the new owners had taken over. Having not been offered anything for the inconvenience, not even an apology I called the pub again to question why they had told me the previous owners must have messed up on the booking. I wasn't impolite or rude, that's all I said and the landlady (before hanging up on me) told me to find somewhere else to stay. Had it have been that easy at short notice we would have. However with a wedding to attend and not wanting to cause any stress I called again and had to beg them to let us stay. We arrived at the pub and were given a free drink and the landlady did come over and apologise. The pub is perfectly located for the pavilion and has a free car park. However, the rooms stunk of stale booze and fags. They seemed clean but the smell was horrible and the shower was poor. At £55 for a double I appreciate its not expensive for York. However I wouldn't pay that to stay again. I have backpacked all around the world, including places like India. I have slummed it aswell as staying in some amazing hotels. However I do not expect a room to stink at that price and I expect our booking to have been booked and for there to have been an apology at the time and not to have to call back after being hung up on or have my brother on my bedroom floor.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Riad Dar Karma; City: Marrakech Marrakech Tensift El Haouz Region; Review: Beautiful Riad with only six rooms, based in the Kasbah, a 15 minute walk to the main square. On landing we took our private transfer from the airport organised through the Riad. After a seamless on time pickup we arrived at dar Kama fifteen minutes later. We stayed in the standard room (4) which was gorgeous and big, really good value for money. The shower was huge, more like a wet room, with a rain shower and stars in the roof. I can only begin to imagine what the other rooms must have been like if ours was only a standard, there was nothing standard about it. From the wrought iron and wood window shutters to our very own castle like front door this room was truly beautiful. The room was cleaned daily, with fresh towels and new bedding and the cleaner tidied and folded away your clothes. The ed was really comfortable and the room was pitch black at night ensuring a great nights sleep. The pool was a decent size for a riad and there is a huge day bed on the rooftop to lounge on, as well as other areas that gave you the privacy to feel as if you were a home, including a beautiful log fire. The service was exceptional Stephanie and her team really looked after us and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, despite a language barrier as mainly French and Arabic are spoken. The food was the best we had in Marrakech. Organic, fresh produce consisting of made to order Moroccan salads to start, followed by tagine and dessert for £20 per head. This was for private dining wherever you wanted to take it, served by your own waiter. You need to let them know the evening prior if you want to eat and there is no menu for it so let them know if there is something you do or don't like and they will try to accommodate you. I can recommend the lamb and beef tagines. Wine is served on request and for £16 the Morrocan house white was excellent. Breakfast is served whenever you want and on the rooftop. It consisted of a crepe, toast and preserves, pain au chocolat, yoghurt, freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee/tea. Things happen in this place without you having to request it, they are one step ahead of you meaning a stress free, well run break with everything covered so you can relax. There isn't really anywhere nearby that's any good eat so we ate in the square at stall one (as recommended on here). We also ate the lamb from Mechoui Alley (check it out) and dined at the riad three times, it was that special). Well Done Dar Karma. We hope to see you again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Tempest Arms; City: Elslack Skipton North Yorkshire England; Review: The best pub and food in the area. You can't go wrong with any of the classics. I did however try the chicken bacon and prawn stack for my starter which so unlike the tempest was tiny and not worth the money. However all the other food was delicious as service brill as usual.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Budget Brugge Centrum Station; City: Bruges West Flanders Province; Review: For an ibis this hotel is pretty good and for the money and location it's a perfect budget hotel. Comfy beds and nice shower. Got it through supabreak with the ferry deal from hull so it was a steal. Wouldn't pay €119 rack rate for it. However if it's on a cheap deal I would say go for it. About 10 mins from the station and again from the square. Allows early Check ins and will keep your luggage after you check out and until you leave. There is also a super make across the road for you to fill your Suitcase with beer to take back. Cheapest place we found for it too and great selection with it being a local supermarket chain.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Palace Hill Hotel Scarborough; City: Scarborough Scarborough District North Yorkshire England; Review: Great little b&b. Free WiFi and parking a bonus and the breakfast is yummy. Rooms clean and warm Nice touch with the earplugs for the seagulls. Beach literally across the road and town five minutes away. Hosts lovely. We stayed in room 6 up in the attic which is lovely. Just mind your head though if you are tall like us. If we were to make one suggestion it would be to pop a light above the door and a sign so you don't bump your head. Would definitely recommend and will be back. Thanks for everything.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Villa Amaryllis; City: Essaouira Marrakech Tensift El Haouz Region; Review: Selfishly, I am reluctant to write a review as I would like to keep this place a secret and all to myself. My husband and I visited for 3 nights and arranged a taxi transfer with the owners via email to collect us from Essaouira airport and bring us to the Villa. The taxi took 20 minutes and was a 150 mad (£11). Upon arrival we were greeted by the owner Myriam and Nabil. We were able to check in early and were given a complimentary upgrade followed by mint tea served by the pool. Myriam speaks French mainly, however staff speak enough English to get by. Nabil could not do enough to help and kindly organised us a fire at dinner in a private corner, by the bbq. During our time here we didn't move from Villa Amaryllis. We booked for three days of relaxation, and that's what we got. There is a lovely pool, plenty of sunloungers with towels, hammocks, private courtyards outside your rooms, table tennis and relaxing seating dotted around. There isn't much to do outside of the Villa, however we knew this when booking and picked it for its tranquil location. However you could easily taxi into essaouria. Villa amaryllis is spotless, the food is delicious, as is the wine. A three course dinner (vegetables starter, main (tagine, pastilla etc), dessert, pear tarte tartin example) was €18 and you could discuss what you would like to eat and they will try to accomodate you. Let them know night before/by breakfast if you are dining with them. We paid €145 for our room, including city tax and this included breakfast of pancakes, bread, preserves, fruit, yoghurt, cake and eggs cooked to your choosing, washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice and Moroccon coffee or mint tea. The facilities, room and food offered incredible value for money and we felt extremely spoiled throughout. There is a hammam on site and you can book massages that start from 300 MAD for one hour. I had the massage tonic, which was 350 and like a Swedish/firm massage with oil. My husband had a head, back neck and shoulder massage. We didn't use the hammam itself, other than to take our massages, but it looked very nice. There is a lunch menu of Paninis, salads and fries, starting around €6 and house moroccob wine (nice) €18. We also tried the white which was €21 which was really nice. Wine comes out in a cooler with glasses from the freezer. My husband tried the moroccon lager at €3 and loved it. There are two dogs that live on site, but do not bother you, unless you want to bother with them. There is also a resident tortoise mooching around. You can pay in MAD, or Euros, but cannot change currency here, so get some from the airport and or in Essaouria itself. Breakfast and dinner can be taken at a time of your choosing and you can be seated wherever you choose. Even though essaouria is a windy city, there was only a; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MOOo Downtown; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: Beautiful apartment. Lovely staff, when available. Sound proofing should not be advertised as a feature (unless on top floor you can hear footsteps quite loudly) as it's not and neither is air conditioning, it's an air cooling system that uses fresh air and is impossible to control your own temperature. Stunning though and immaculate. Great Thai down the road, lovely bakery downstairs and nice part of town (we walked everywhere). Would stay here again without hesitation, but maybe with earplugs and not in the height of summer.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: MOOo Downtown; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: Another fabulous stay at Mooo appartments. Kate thank you for looking after us so well and for the complimentary prosecco and breakfast. We can't wait to come back already. As discussed the only thing that would have made our stay perfect would have been air conditioning units in our bedroom as the one in the lounge/kitchen didn't reach and it was incredibly hot, but it sounds like there are plans for these in the future. Wonderful place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel San Cayetano; City: Ronda Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: Excellent. Decent sized, clean rooms, linen changed daily. Good air conditioning, shower and comfy bed. Central, but quiet and next to main strip but old town end. Breakfast worth it for €6. Friendly, helpful staff. Easy to get everywhere. Great value for money. Bus station 10 minute stroll. Supermarket around the corner. Great place, would stay again. Good value for money.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hampton Inn Lancaster; City: Lancaster Lancaster County Pennsylvania; Review: I read the reviews for this hotel and saw it was rated very good so we spent 4 nights here we started out with a pool side room and the room was infested with ants all over the door since it was after the time when the maintenance workers leave the very nice gentleman at the front desk came and cleaned up what looked like food that the ants were coming for but the next day my wife went out that door and had at least 10 large ants fall on her head I went to the front desk and asked for a room change they did, but one of the ladies there told me very rudely and obnoxiously that all the rooms on the first floor will have ants. oh really!!!!!!!

Title: The Lodge at Pebble Beach; City: Pebble Beach Monterey County California; Review: Having a drink or a meal at the lodge is the best way to take in the view of the ocean and the 18th hole. If you know you are going i would recommend making a reservation for a meal otherwise be prepared to wait (especially if it is a nice day). Food was great and the staff were all really friendly and up for a chat.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sion Hill Plantation; City: Sion Hill Saint James Parish Barbados; Review: Great place to stay, own bedroom and bathroom is great, shared living facilities means you can meet and socialise with other guests. 2 pools on site are both great. Amazing views from upstairs properties. Close to Holetown and easy to get to on the highway.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Embassy Suites by Hilton Lompoc Central Coast; City: Lompoc California; Review: We stayed here for 1 night, they are just about to do major renovations so parking was a little difficult to find. Rooms were ok but a bit tight, bedroom door opened in front of the fridge, had to close the bathroom door at all times as it opened up right across the entrance to the bedroom from the lounge. Friendly staff on arrival. We arrived late and there was no food/bar available on site but there are shops next door. Breakfast was free and the hot options were really good.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn and Suites Suisun City Waterfront; City: Suisun City California; Review: We stayed here for 1 night and were really happy with it. The rooms are big and clean and we were lucky enough to have a room overlooking the harbour on the top floor. Initially it did take 5 mins for someone to come to the front desk but when they got there the service was great. We were offered a local map with all the shops/restaurants on it which was very helpful. Parking is free as was breakfast. Breakfast was really good and wasn't too busy. We were there on a Monday and many of the local restaurants were not open but we went to cast iron grill which is highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sofitel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills; City: Los Angeles California; Review: Great hotel to stay at, hop on hop off stop (Red Line) opposite hotel. There are some restaurants and shops close by but car or taxi opens up the options. If you can request a room on the Hollywood Hills side you just may get a view of the Hollywood sign. Bar on site is good, breakfast is available but is a bit expensive for what you get.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Embassy Suites by Hilton Hotel Monterey Bay Seaside; City: Seaside Monterey County California; Review: We stayed here for one night and it was well worth it, the suites have heaps of space including a dining room table. Breakfast is available for free each morning with both hot and cold options, only downside is that is gets really busy and finding a table can be hard. The staff were all very friendly and happy to help and it was very clean. Easy to get to and close to Monterey. Parking is self park but they do charge $10 per night per car.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Mantra Circle on Cavill; City: Surfers Paradise Gold Coast Queensland; Review: We only stayed for one night but the room was amazing, great views over looking the river.

Well worth staying here.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Earthwise Reusable Mesh Produce Bags - Washable Set of 9 Premium Bags, TRANSPARENT Lightweight, Strong SEE-THROUGH Mesh for; Brand: Earthwise; Review: Tired of struggling to get those flimsy light plastic veggie bags from the grocery store open? Tired of trying to put damp vegetables in the bag? Or get them out when you need them? How about are you Tired of not knowing if you can recycle the flimsy plastic bags in the regular recycle bin or if it is OK to throw them in the trash, but you feel the tiniest bit guilty for doing it. Then you need the Earthwise Reusable Mesh Produce Bags! Produce does not stick to the sides when you are trying to bag it or un bag it. I used a Earthwise Mesh bag for broccoli last night and when I pulled it out there were a few tiny florets residing in the bottom of the bag. Turned it inside out, shook it out, and it was clean. I was not paying attention to the fine print about how many you get when you order these little gems so I was surprised to find 9 of them in the bag. Divvied them up among several of my regular shopping bags and now I always have them on hand.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Restaurant August; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: I have to disagree with the five stars, and would have given it 3 1/2 if I could. The appetizers, amuse bouche, dessert and wine list were very impressive, the service was great, and the ambience is top notch. My main complaint was that the entrees were average at best. I thought they were uninspired and not on the same level as the other courses. If you want a very nice restaurant with good food and a good ambience, this is a good choice. However if you want great food, I would recommend going elsewhere, because unless you stick to appetizers (which is always a good idea) I think you will be disappointed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Apple Barrel Bar; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Some of the best blues guitar I heard while in New Orleans. Its a small bar, but really well priced beers, a really cool atmosphere, good people, and you literally fall into it when you're on the sidewalk...great place to have a few stumble out, stumble back in and enjoy frenchmans; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Spotted Cat Music Club; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Good bar, good music, fun scene, and a staple of Frenchmans. It is crowded, and I would say the crowd isn't the best, but it gets good bands and again, a great bar to stumble in and out of while enjoying the music and the scene; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Commander's Palace; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: The best meal I had in New Orleans. The food is absolutely spectacular, and its really not that pricey. For about $30 you get an entree, appetizer and dessert. Yes this is brunch, but its honestly brunch and cocktail hour wrapped in one, because the bloody marys are amazing, and after all that food, you won't be able to eat until 9 p.m. at least. Try the turtle soup, definitely lean on the waiters for recommendations (they won't steer you wrong) and if you can SIT OUTSIDE if the weather permits; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sweet Lorraine's; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Very good, local music. They get top acts in, the sound is amazing, and the stage and seating is perfectly setup. There is also a bar with TVs in case you want to have the ultimate evening of: good cocktails, catching a little football, and then walking over to your table and having a great dinner while listening to unbelievable music.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dante's Kitchen; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: This was my second favorite restaurant in New Orleans (commanders was first). The outdoor area and porch are great to sit on, since the restaurant sits at the end of a quiet street separated from the mississippi by the train. The appetizers (escargot especially) are great. The inside of the restaurant is very cool, think hip colorful house with unbelievable food. The wine list and beer list are top notch, and overall you cannot go wrong, especially on a beautiful evening.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maple Leaf Bar; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Like most things in New Orleans, I wanted to put this bar in my pocket and take it home. Awesome music both live and jukebox (jukebox is unbelievable). Drinks are priced perfectly, people are partying on the street, partying inside, listening to music on the large stage or waiting to eat at Jacques Imos and everyone is having a great time. Highly recommended, its a great night, come up, put your name in at Jacques Imos or grab some drinks and eat, or if you want, grab some drinks and head over to Dante's which is a great, a little higher end, but totally worth it restaurant; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: I felt like everywhere I went, bar, restaurant, park, it kept getting better, and this place did not disappoint. A very dark and old bar, it has a piano in the back where you sit around and sing songs along with the piano player while drinking beer, liqour or whatever you fancy. The bar is so cool, so old, and a must visit if you're in New Orleans.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Johnny's Po-Boys; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Cool place, nice people, and great to grab a sandwich and walk over to the park overlooking the Mississippi. I had the beef which was amazing...wet, but thats how I like it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Parkway Bakery & Tavern; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Cool place to eat (great outdoor and indoor seating). I had the shrimp po boy which was great, and overall I liked this place better than Johnnys due to the outdoor seating, and I did think the poboy was just a little better.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Desire Oyster Bar; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: I really really like this place. Sit at the oyster bar, get some good cold beers and house some oysters. I had the oysters (which were great even though they were'nt from Louisiana - blame BP) and the jambalaya, and my girl had the shrimp and grits. Both are highly recommended. We had the pecan pie for dessert which was unbelievable, although I also heard that the bread pudding is great as well. This place feels like a french bisto, though a little more touristy, if you sit at the oyster bar, you'll really enjoy yourself; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Greenwood Funeral Home; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Cool place to visit. The cemetaries are an interesting trip that I recommend. You can take the canal or charles st. car to the end (check on this) and visit the cemetaries, or even better, go to Parkway, eat, then hop the trolly to the cemetaries...its cool, classic and famous; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Le Pavillon Hotel; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: First, for the money, the location and the service, you can't beat this place. In fact, I recommended that 2 different people stay here when asked about my trip to New Orleans. Beyond just the service, the cool hotel and the location the POOL ON THE ROOF IS ONE OF THE BEST POOLS I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. After drinking and staying out late, there's nothing like going up to the roof, having room service delivered and laying on plush chairs overlooking the city. Five stars: - top notch service and incredibly nice staff - nice old hotel, with very cool chandeliers and marble - Great location (2 blocks from bourbon street, but completely out of the hustle bustle) also very close to charles street trolley - ROOF POOL Two stars: - Older and shows in areas - Rooms are nice, but not top notch Average: Four Stars; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sherwin-Williams Paint Store; City: Granite City, IL; Review: Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. The parking is not good (only one spot in the back) and they have a somewhat limited selection of paints, but if you want top quality service and product, and if you call ahead, you're likely to get exactly what you need with better than average guidance, which is a lot more than I can say for Home Depot.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: CS Automotive; City: Brentwood, TN; Review: Called to get quotes on my synthetic oil change. This place was $40-$50 less than closest competitor, and their quote was actually what they charged. I was in and out quickly, they did a great job, recommended a few things to be aware of in the next 5k miles (rather than right away like other mechanics have done). Best part - he noticed a bulb out in my rear light...told me he'd fix it, and charged me $3, which is the cost of the bulb. Most other mechanics would tack on $20 for "time" but not his guy. Very honest Overall: Honest Thorough Quick service Very knowledgeable; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: New York Deli; City: Franklin, TN; Review: I eat a lot of sandwiches, and this is one of the better deli sandwiches I've had (excluding the great italian delis). Great meat (boars head), the bread is a good consistency, quick service, clean restaurant...great place for lunch. Just be careful bc if you ask for mayo or dressing, they really load it on.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Phat Bites; City: Nashville, TN; Review: The most inventive sandwiches I"ve ever had. Mixes jamaican with american with Thai...they have steak, chicken, vegetable sandwiches, spicey, not spicey, heavy, light, basically anything you can imagine...although nobody has imagined the majority of these sandwiches bc I"ve never had anything like it anywhere else. Visit this place, even if its out of the way. Very cool, graffiti, hippy vibe, great sandos...awesome pasta salad, highly recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Basil Bistro; City: Franklin, TN; Review: I rarely give 1 star (see my other reviews), but this deserves it. I placed a simple take-out order...a chicken noddle dish and spring rolls. The spring rolls were fine, but the noodles were both shrimp and chicken (no the dish did not include both, but one or the other), and the the amount of chicken was minimal at best. I was really hungry, this place was a huge disappointment, and I will never go back here.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Belcourt Taps; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Good place...the service was quick and I really liked the empanadas and the mac and cheese. I went on a Sunday, pretty dead, no music, and too cold to sit outside so can't comment on anything but the cozy feel and good food. I will be back here for a drink and some food...granted its a little pricey for a pop in snack, but its a good change from the standard Hillsboro scene.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Benchmark Bar & Grill; City: Nashville, TN; Review: I also thought there'd be more reviews for this place. Really comfortable good bar feel inside (nice leather booths, good wood bar, good live music)...lots of flat screens, a private room in the back to watch games. Overall definitely a place I could escape the idiocy of 2nd ave and watch a game in a comfortable space.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Hideaway Waterfront Resort Hotel; City: Cape Coral Florida; Review: I am travelling a lot and thought all reviwers can not be wrong. But unfortunately, I can not recommend this place. When I arrived, there was no warm welcome. When I phoned for Mark and he arrived, he seemed to be interrupted and not happy that I showed up. He then showed me the back of the house without saying anything where we go etc. I did not feel welcome at all. The office is a mess and very old paper is everywhere which is already getting brown. This does not leave a good impression for the rooms. In the garden, a dirty bird cave stands right in front of the guest rooms. If you look for a quite place hidden to get some rest, do not choose this place. There is a very cheap but very loud loudspeaker at the pool, so you can not sit in the evening sun without the bad music. When I asked to turn it down, I was treated like someone who has unreasonable requests. Funny enough - NOBODY was at the pool all afternoon, only after the music was slightly turned down. The guests are more the party guests - so if you look for a quite place - wrong place. The place is hidden but far away from everything. So, if you look for a nice little town or beach, wrong place. Without a car, you do not get anywhere and even then it takes quite some time. Even a Starbucks is 15 min away... when you ask for directions, don't expect help or friendly advice - go to the internet and find it by yourself... The hotel itself is very sound-sensitive, you can hear everything from the neighbour room. In addition, the wireless did not work although announced as free. The bathroom was not perfectly clean. I would have expected more for the price especially as I stayed the night before right at the beach in another Inn with similar price and completely opposite service.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Epacha Game Lodge and Spa; City: Etosha National Park Oshikoto Region; Review: The lodge is at a nice location, but the place has seen its best days. The service is not very good and not personal. There are a few exceptional staff members (e.g. Junior Manager and Alfred), but besides that the staff does not seem to be motivated or interested in the guests. The villas are also not new anymore, many of the lower priced lodges are much nicer. Basic facilities you expect in this class and are offered in all other places which are less expensive are not available: 1) No flash lights to get back to the distant villas in the night. 2) No water for free in the middle of the desert - although full board 3) no mosquito protection on the windows, so any animal could come in, so had to sleep with air conditioning in the midddle of the nature 4) No traveller cheques accepted but credit cards also do not work below 500 NDollar 5) Guide does not repect wishes of guests and designs activities as he wants 6) No sun protection at the villas' balconies, so it gets very hot as roof is way too far up 7) no proper sun protection at the pool - no UV protected umbrellas 8) No coffee and tea all day around as in other lodges 9) Open cars to drive around 1-2 hours to Etosha very dusty, windy and uncomfortable 10) no window in bathroom, so could not open after shower Too heavy food - somtimes less is more (3 courses for lunch and 5 for dinner but all heeavy); Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Royal Torarica; City: Paramaribo Paramaribo District; Review: Clean, nice place. Easy to walk to major sights. Nice menu for food and drinks. Only downside: windows can not be opened, so you have to use the air conditioning, even if you do not like it. Nice pool area. Can be noicy when they have evening events.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kabalebo Nature Resort; City: Kabalebo Sipaliwini District; Review: Avsolutely nice nature. There is no hunting here, so you see more birds than in other places. The guides are very respectful to the nature so you see a lot during the walks (not like other tours where it is so noicy that you do not see anything). You can also freely walk around and do a little walk on your own which is amazing. In the morning there are very nice places to watch the birds. Guides are very experienced and speak reasonable English. Each single trip was an experience. Food was the best and freshest I had in Suriname. It was not overcooked and deep fried as in many other places. They take many fruits and vegetables from their own garden. Staff was friendly and you could see they enjoy working there. I had booked a Suite which was an amazing and large and comfortable place. Absolutely worth the money and more than 3 stars. The main lodge rooms seemed very small and average quality in comparison. Nice to have not only Dutch or Belgium groups here so was easier to get to know people if you do not speak Dutch.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Amba Hotel Marble Arch; City: London England; Review: Rooms are expensive but the location is very central. The room had a strong garlic smell all week, especially when turning on the aircon. So I left a note for the cleaning people to not turn on the aircon. This was just ignored and switched on every single day. Dirt and food rests on the desk from the guests before me were there all week, so not cleaned at all. The breakfast room is way too small for the number of people. It is loud, unpleasant and some guests touch the food without taking it. The service is also bad here. One day I tried to register at the front desk for the breakfast. I was the first in the row. They registered three other people behind me first and brought them to their tables before talking to me. If you need travel advice, dont trust the concierge. I asked for my way on the first day, they did not provide a map or good explanation, so I lost my way and was too late for meetings. So I decided to take the bus the second day. The person at the desk said just go to the bus around the corner. Well, he did not mention you can not pay cash in the bus, so after waiting for the bus, I could not take it. Service in this hotel is way below average.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Aro a Beachside Inn; City: Arorangi Rarotonga Southern Cook Islands; Review: Let me start with the Positives: 1) Great location, absolutely amazing. 2) Great bar attached to it and great selection there. 3) Lovely and friendly and helpful local staff. 4) super clean rooms. Negatives which did not allow me to rate higher: 1) Room with ocean view has maybe 5-10% of the total view the sea. 2) Rooms are so distant from the sea and so close to the street, that you can not hear any wind or wave from the sea like in many other places but the street all night. Very noicy! More than sleeping in a city since the doors absorb no noice.And then it gets very hot in the room. 3) The insect protection doors closed only when they were unlocked. When I locked them with a little key provided, they were open by around 1 cm. So I had the choice of locked doors while I was sleeping and insects or unlocked doors. 4) Due to the shape of the room, no wind in the room - gets very hot in the night. Different from many other places on the island where the air can flow through the room and the window style allows also flow with locked doors. And 5) biggest disappointment: The internet fees. They are double and higher than on the entire island as well as other Cook Islands and what the only provider - Bluesky asks for. So if this argument is used, this is not true, just go into one of their offices. BlueSky Wifi fee: 500 MB for 10 NZD, 1 GB for 20 NZD - you can buy the vouchers everywhere on the island and there are many hotspots. The WIFI connection is expensive on the island, so all other hotels charge you exactly those fees further. And you can use it on multiple devices up to the absorption of the volume. Aro'a Beach: 20 NZD for 500 MB, but it is not stated upfront this is only for one device. So you may end up even buying a second voucher to have the second device (10 NZD for 200 MB). And you can use it only at their place, while the Bluesky can be used in many places. So, I asked why is it so different and I find it expensive since I had asked upfront before the final booking twice how much it is but never got an answer as I also stated this is key for me. The argument was they use a different system. Well, if you go to the Bluesky office, you find a brochure listing this hotel as one of the official hotspots. In addition, in the reception you get a map where it is mapped as an official hotspot. So I did not use the expensive voucher and just used Bluesky at the beach and it is reliable. For me it was disappointing that even when I approached them openly about this, no solution was offered and I was told they were not aware there is a hotspot. I needed the internet on; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Muri Heights Villas; City: Muri Rarotonga Southern Cook Islands; Review: The bungalow is off the street and only 2 min from the beach. This is an advantage when there are weddings etc. it can be noicy at the beach. Perfect stay. Handover of keys and payment worked fine. The appartment has everything you would need and is a relaxing place at the same time. The owner also gives good advice what to do on the island. She checks regularly in if anything is needed. Restaurants and shop is also only 2 min away. Would rent it again. All was perfect.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fare Vaihere; City: Moorea Society Islands; Review: Location is great. A nice reef in front of the pension. Many local attractions can be reached easily by bike and are not far away. The kayaks can be used for free as well as the bikes. The host is very helpful, gives great local recommendations and advice. The bungalows are comfortable, absolutely clean and good size. Everything works well and if anything is missing, the hosts helps immediately. The breakfast and dinners are absolutely amazing. Due to the small size of the pension, you get in good contact with the other guests, can meet them for breakfast and dinner including the host and so there is a very nice family atmosphere here. My best stay in French Polynesia. None of the guests wanted to leave, we all wanted to stay longer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wyndham Tashkent; City: Tashkent Tashkent Province; Review: Large and very comfortable room. Very good housekeeping service. Good and fresh breakfast buffet. Downside: 5 star hotel with no restaurant in the evening. Service depends completely on the person you contact: 1) Reception: they give prices in USD although they do not accept USD. When you show up then with USD; they send you the exchance office. So you change this amount and go back to the reception. Then they tell you, it is another rate and they would need more, so you go back to the exchange office or your room. It took me three tries to pay - 5 star? 2) Restaurant for breakfast: coffee and tea is served. But: not every guest gets the attention. I shared the table with two ladies. Both of them already had coffee, I did not. The waitress just checked with them, if they want more, I was completely ignored. Similar things happened nearly every day. 3) Reception: you tell them when they should order the driver. They write it down wrongly, so you correct with them the note. They call and still order the wrong time. They lied then into my face that they have done correctly, turnt around and called the driver to correct it because they think you do not understand the language. 4) Travel office: the only thing she can do for booking air tickets is using the internet - so the same as I could do. The website did not work, but instead of asking the call centre if the booking can be done by phone, I was told to call my bank if something is wrong although the call center said they had problems. Good hotel with good rooms, but service really lacks but is needed since many people do not speak English, so you often need the support of the reception for bookings etc.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Lyabi House Hotel; City: Bukhara Bukhara Province; Review: Very friendly staff, but: The hotel has seen its best days. In the same price range and within 300 meters, there are many much newer and nicer options for the same price. Definitely not 3 star like other hotels in Usbekistan. The hotel is in repair mode, so expect loud building noice up to 9 pm. But unfortunately, the repair is just for the outside decoration. The outdated rooms and floor would need a refurbishment. In my room, the toilet did not work multiple times and was not properly fixed. The curtains hang down when I checked into my room. The breakfast is outside which is ok, but pigeons are everywhere. Wifi was also worse than in other places in Usbekistan (although cables were hanging across the stairs to the rooms to increase the signal).; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Aster Hotel Group; City: Tashkent Tashkent Province; Review: Modern rooms which is an exception in Taschkent, very clean, quiet side road and friendly staff. Wifi worked well, breakfast had many options. Flexibility with checkin (e.g. 2 am in the morning). Can recommend this place as alternative to the older and larger 5 star hotels in the city.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Boutique Safiya; City: Bukhara Bukhara Province; Review: Probably the best hotel in Uzbekistan I stayed in. Flexible with checkin times, very good breakfast, strong Wifi, beautiful and comfortable rooms, absolutely clean (which is not usual in Uzbekistan), quiet setting and always helpful staff. Keep the standard as high as it i.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: I Heard That Song Before; Author: Mary Higgins Clark; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: I have a weak spot for Mary Higgins Clark's books. Her suspense novels were the first ones I've ever read as an adolescent - and certainly not the last. I was immediately captured by riveting murder mysteries and dark secrets, unraveling themselves with every turning page. I don't know why should a 12 year old girl be more interested in detective mysteries than teen books, but what can I say, it was a perfect match. By then I knew I loved books, and I knew that one day I'd grow up to be a writer - but thanks to Mary Higgins Clark I had realized exactly what I wish to write about. When I published my first thriller novel in my early twenties, I couldn't help thinking about that little girl in me, who had read and adored this great American writer, and could only dream about following her footsteps someday. But enough about my lifelong dream. Mary Higgins Clark is a gifted writer and this current novel was exceptionally great: Kay Lansing, the girl next door, falls in love with a handsome young millionaire who happens to live in a secluded and extravagant mansion, tied to some mysterious death incidents. This lovely romance is interrupted when new evidence against her newlywed brings to his arrest. She renains alone in their big mansion, surrounded by quite a few people who could have framed her husband Peter of murder - and possibly want her dead, too. What really compelled about this story me was the sophisticated way Clark had planted so many questions marks and contrasting clues as for the real killer's identity. In every chapter your opinion might change due to a surprising new information. I was racking my brain but still couldn't be 100% percent sure who the killer was. I kept on reading not only because I was genuinely intrigued, but because I just HAD TO figure out who had done it. It wasn't until the very last chapters that Clark had tied all the loose ends, and then the solution seemed clearer than ever. And that's exactly what I love about a good thriller.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shut Your Eyes Tight (Dave Gurney, #2); Author: John Verdon; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: I love the sophistication and the subtlety of gestures in John Verdon's books. And most of all, the element of surprise. You can find all three in this current thriller. Retired NYPD homicide detective Dave Gurney is asked to help in a horrifying murder investigation that has almost no concrete leads: A beautiful bride is discovered decapitated in the secluded cabin of the shady Mexican gardener, who is nowhere to be found and is presumed to have run away with the promiscuous neighbor. The groom, a well-known and very successful psychiatrist, is left lonesome and hart broken. The bereaved mother, an extremely wealthy woman who oozes sex appeal, convinces Gurney to join the investigation. One by one, more layers are revealed as terrible secrets are exposed, blasting the story forward. Verdon presents the reader with a dark world of sick narcissism, unrestrained sexuality, ruthless crime empires and young girls gone missing. Gurney's inner world is unfolded before us and illustrates his complexity as the main character. Along with his weaknesses and difficulties, I found myself liking him even more with every turning page. The solution to this bewildering mystery is very surprising yet sensible and accurate - exactly my type of ending - and proposes a necessary twist to the plot. Overall this is a very good thriller which answers all the main criteria - well written, has a well-thought plot and intriguing characters. At times the progress was a bit slow but then Verdon made sure to pick up the pace. If you love the genre, you'll love this book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Picture of Dorian Gray; Author: Oscar Wilde; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Among the infinity of new books that surround us, I like to indulge myself with an old classic every once in a while. For years I've been a fan of Oscar Wilde's witty quotes, which made me believe in the greatness of the so-called "little" phrases. I immediately liked this Oscar, and I knew that someday I'd have to read his books. The Picture of Dorian Gray was an obvious choice, since I've encountered many cultural references to the handsome lad who never gets old - but at what cost? The story slowly leads us through the aristocratic lifestyle of old Britain; the intellectual conversations over a cup of afternoon tea, friendships and romances that blossom while strolling in the garden, spending the evening watching a Shakespearian play. The heroes of the story, the charming Dorian Gray, Lord Henry, and the painter Basil Hallward, exchange between themselves thoughts and contemplations about life, along with cleverly-phrased and at times a bit sarcastic philosophies, that instantly remind us who is the author of this story. Basil paints a spectacular portrait of Dorian Gray, which captures his beauty, youth and innocence with pure perfection. In a moment of poor judgment, Dorian wishes for his lovely portrait to carry the burden of his sins and age, so he could remain young and graceful forever. The first half of the book is slow-paced, in accordance to England of the nineteenth century. This gives us the proper background to understand the length and depth of Dorian's transformation, from a passionate and naive youngster to a cold-hearted and evil man - even if on the outside he still seems like an innocent lamb. The second half of the book gains momentum as Dorian's sins are escalating, to the extent that even his lovely appearance cannot fool those around him anymore. I read the last chapters in pure suspense, trying to predict Dorian Gray's next move, as the reality of his sins was closing in on him. Wilde created a controversial character, that is hard to figure out if we love or hate, drawn to or disgusted by - and perhaps this complexity is the greatness of the story about Dorian Gray. Throughout the reading, I've encountered many sentences that seemed to have pierced me like an arrow; I had to read them over and over, trying to absorb the words into me. The last paragraph of the book, part fantasy and part mystery, shook me to the core and made my heart skip a beat. To me, it was the most brilliant writing in this novel, for even though the story ended, new thoughts began to nest in my mind about the poor fate of Dorian Gray.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Peter Pan Must Die (Dave Gurney, #4); Author: John Verdon; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: Retired detective Dave Gurney is bound to solve a new mystery circling a serial killer who is mysterious as he is monstrous - also known as Peter Pan, because of his childlike appearance. But don't get the wrong impression, this is a ruthless contract killer, that in his heart there's a burning passion to doom life, and he lends his cruel skills to the highest bidder. No one knows who this Peter Pan really is and why does he chose such gruesome methods to kill his victims. Gurney is determined to stop him, no matter the consequences. John Verdon definitely knows how to build a good, intriguing plot, full of twist and turns - just my kind of mystery. He created a strong set of characters - with Jack Hardwick being one of my favorites, known for his endless sarcasm and sharp insights when it comes to solving a case. In a way, he reminded me of a character in my own book. And of course, there's Peter Pan, as a new, very intriguing character. Throughout the book Gurney is trying to figure out who hired this ruthless killer, in order to assassinate Carl Spalter, a tough businessman. In each chapter, Verdon adds another piece of information to answer this question - and although I managed to guess the solution, there is no doubt it is a surprising twist, brilliant in its simplicity - which reminded me of Verdon's former work, especially "Think of a Number". I really enjoyed reading this book!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Let the Devil Sleep (Dave Gurney, #3); Author: John Verdon; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: Retired NYPD detective Dave Gurney returns with a new mystery to solve. For years and years no one has revealed the true identity of "The Good Shepherd", the notorious serial Killer who chooses his victims well and wealthy. After ten years of silences, he returns to kill the victims' families, supposedly because a television special about him was aired, driving him mad and ready to avenge. Gurney thinks that there's more than meets the eye about this case, and objects to the psychological profile assembled by the senior investigators who handled this case. This of course makes the hostility toward Gurney grow and prevents him from gaining access to relevant information about the case. I love Jack Hardwick's character! His conversations with Gurney seem to be a witty and comic relief, which brings out Gurney's more pleasant side. Another character worth mentioning is Max Clinter: his chase after The Good Shepherd had ruined his career and life and made him abandon civilized life and move to a remote cabin - what can I say, I love these crazy folks (those who read my books already know - mischievous emoji). This book reveals before us Gurney's inner world. His contemplations and regrets pour from his thoughts to his actions. Dave Gurney is a complex character and it is intriguing to read the story through his point of view. As a suspense author myself, who loves reading and interlacing in her books surprises and twists up to the very last page, I salute Verdon for making the obvious solution seem impossible and vice versa. As usual, he surprises with the simplicity of the solution. However, this is a long and detailed book and so it had occurred that I, a bookworm in nature, who finishes an average book in a few days, read this book over months, consuming other books while still reading this one. Maybe if I had read the whole story at once, I would have been less surprised from the thrilling discovery (Still, it took me some time to recall who was killed and why - apologetic emoji). Nevertheless, I must commend Verdon's writing, which made me climb back into the story with interest, even after a long break, and also for the fast pace of this twisted plot. This may not be Verdon's best book so far, but it's a good thriller that Dave Gurney fans will sure appreciate.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Tuesdays with Morrie; Author: Mitch Albom; Genres: history, young-adult, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: Some books leave you breathless, unable to put them down until the very end. And some books force us to stop between one sentence to another, take a deep breath and think about what we have just read; about the bigger meaning that is hidden in the letters in ink. "Tuesdays with Morrie" (Mitch Albom) belongs, without a doubt, to the second type of books, and is perhaps the very best of them. "The last class of my old professor's life took place once a week in his house, by a window in the study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink leaves. The class met on Tuesdays. It began after breakfast. The subject was The Meaning of Life. It was taught from experience." Like many paragraphs in this book, this opening paragraph also could appear as sweet but rather ordinary. However, after the journey - mental and emotional at once - this book takes the reader into, it gets a new, profound meaning. There are many things in our lives that could appear as "ordinary", "usual", the type of things we shouldn't or wouldn't give them a second thought, but those things exactly - How we live our lives, the people who surround us, the actions that fill our day-to-day agenda - are what truly deserves our undivided attention. That was one of the many beautiful messages that Professor Morrie Schwartz, who is portrayed as a unique individual in every fiber of his being, an inspiring and bigger-than-life character, tried to teach his beloved student, Mitch Albom, and anyone who would listen. It is almost impossible to compare this book to other books. The light, picturesque language is used to portray philosophical ideas, deep thoughts about the meaning of life, and is dealing with questions that would forever hunt us, revolving love, regret, separation, acceptance, death. I believe each reader chooses what would be engraved in their memory after flipping through the final page, which issues to contemplate while reading, what chapters they would just have to read again. From my point of view, I found my Morrie-connection relatively quickly, in a scene where Morrie is confronting Mitch with four simple-complex questions: "Have you found someone to share your heart with? Are you giving to your community? Are you at peace with yourself? Are you trying to be as human as you can be?" To me, these four questions summarize magnificently the essence of life. In a book that has so many pearls of wisdom, each of us could dive through the pages and find their own treasure, that they could hold dear afterwards. This was mine. What will be your treasure? Read and find out.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: No Time for Goodbye (No Time For Goodbye #1); Author: Linwood Barclay; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: "No Time for Goodbye" by Linwood Barclay had rested peacefully at the top shelf of my library for a long time before I finally read it. It was the type of irony that encounters you in your day-to-day life - I knew I would love this book, therefore I wasn't anxious to read it. Perhaps it was my subconscious, wanting to leave me a good read for a rainy day. And when I finally started reading, I couldn't stop, not until the rain was over and the sun came out. One morning, fourteen-year-old Cynthia wakes up in an empty house and discovers that her entire family had disappeared. The night before she had a fight with her parents and the unpleasant thought that perhaps this was some cruel punishment creeps to her mind. The police investigate this strange disappearance but don't find a single clue. The trauma envelopes Cynthia's life like a blanket of darkness, even when she becomes a wife and a mother to a family of her own. The plot quickly receives a sharp twist that kickstart the entire story: after airing a TV special about the old family tragedy, unexplainable things begin to occur. Her father's old fedora hat appears at her house, but there is no sign for forced entry. A threatening phone call Cynthia claims to have gotten, but with no record of it on her phone. A mysterious email sent to Cynthia from what appears to be a fake email address... Terry, her husband, who is narrating the story from his point of view, can't help but wonder if Cynthia is really the victim or perhaps...? The story is well told, in a fluent and witty language. The author spreads plenty of question marks, which enhance the interest along the plot, and makes sure to answer every last one of them, leaving no loose ends - as any good thriller should do. Overall, it was an intriguing and suspenseful read that had made me want to read more of this author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Wonder (Wonder #1); Author: R.J. Palacio; Genres: children, young-adult, fiction; Review: "There should be a rule that everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their lives," thinks August, a fifth grader from Beecher Prep, outstanding student, a sworn fan of Star Wars and adores his dog, Daisy. August is an ordinary kid in almost every aspect, besides the fact that he was born with a facial deformity - which obviously makes him anything but "ordinary". He knows he doesn't have the same chance to be standing on a stage, with thousands of people in the crowd, and receive those desired applause - because when people look at him they flinch, avoid him, and even hurl cruel insults at him. Unlike the other kids, who could grow up to be presidents or movie stars, or simply become the valedictorians at their graduation, August must limit his dreams and expectations of life. August wishes for the day he could walk down the street and assimilate among everyone, to have an entirely ordinary face, one that people won't even remember - which puts our whims to become more beautiful and desirable into perspective. After all, when have any of us wished for a face that no one would notice? The story is very well written, filled with humor and wit, which only enhance its original plot. It is so easy to be swept away with the pages and so it happened that from the moment I have started reading this book I just couldn't stop and finished it within a day. Not once have I wiped a tear, at times of sadness and at times of joy, over those small and simple moments of happiness in life - the happiness of a ten-year-old, no matter how they look like. This book has an important message to deliver, and it does it in a fantastic way. I can guarantee that once you start reading, you won't be able to stop, nor want to.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: My Brilliant Friend (The Neapolitan Novels #1); Author: Elena Ferrante; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: This is the first book of the Neapolitan Novels, which follows two young girls living in one of Naples poorest neighborhoods. The two girls develop a brave, exceptional friendship - one that begins with a childhood trauma of losing their favorite dolls to the darkness, a crisis which strengthens this rather strange friendship - which continues to grow the girls get older. The story is told in first person by Elena, who truly loves, at times hates, often admires and is many times jealous of her unconventional friend, the shoemaker's daughter, Lila. Lila's character is intriguing, even fascinating, and very much mesmerizing. Nevertheless, in between the lines the reader can sense that Elena, the storyteller, is also complex, impressive and unique character. Each girl has her own special charm - Lila's overwhelming charm vs. Elena's warm charm. This is the first book out of a series, one that lays the cornerstones for introducing the physical and inner world of the characters, and therefore it is loaded with details, characters and occurrences - but the writing is rather flowing and it is easy to continue reading. All the more, the book feels extremely authentic: the description of how it was like living in Naples of the former century, the great poverty and the approach towards couplehood, children, work and education - so different than what we're used to in modern western culture. You can sense that the author is truly living her words, and in a way, perhaps even describing a part of her personal life. I did miss the Italian magic, since the "habitat" of the characters is Naples. Perhaps the dichotomy between the southern Italian charm and the gloomy reality of its residents' lives would have created a valuable contrast. Not that there was a substantial lack of descriptions of places and settings, rather that as the girls felt imprisoned in the old neighborhood, so did I as the reader. But it is possible that this issue continues to evolve in the next books, when the girls grow up and live their lives outside the old neighborhood (or at least that's what I hope for them). I could go on and on about this book, but I will summarize by saying I loved the fact it revolves around a brave friendship between two girls, and the author wasn't afraid to elaborate the less "photogenic" parts of it - whether it's jealousy, anger or gloating - which makes it one of the most genuine relationships I've ever read about, and related to. The revelation of the ugly along with the wonderful sides of female companionship makes it an even more amazing, complex and fascinating friendship. Bottom line, reading this book feels like going back in time and diving into the lives of the Neapolitan girls, which reveal every aspect of their lives before us, at times less and at times more intriguing, but the sure thing is that our desire to take a peek urges us to continue reading.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Demain; Author: Guillaume Musso; Genres: mystery, thriller, romance, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: A lovely book that I read within a few hours . . . Matthew, a young professor at Harvard University, who had lost in the past year his beautiful wife, a brilliant doctor and the mother of his four-year-old daughter, begins to exchange messages with Emma, a somalier at a renowned restaurant in Manhattan, a single woman who knows a thing or two about having a broken heart. In a spontaneous and untypical manner of them, they set a dinner-date in New York. Emma arrives first, then Matthew, but as if by the cruelty of destiny, they never meet. When they try to figure out the tragic chain of events, they uncover dark secrets that turn reality upside down. Typical of Guillaume Musso's style, this book begins in a charmingly sweet way, like most romantic comedies. It is very easy to like Matthew and be sorry for his loss. Emma's character is more complex and at times deceiving, but that's what makes her more human, because she isn't the ultimate good or bad, and sometimes it's hard to decide whether she is the hero or the villain - which becomes clearer as the story moves forward. The rest of the characters are a bit shallow but fit this mystery novel, which becomes more high-paced as the plot develops. At a certain point, this romantic comedy receives a hell of twist, that makes the plot thrilling and intriguing. The author thought of an original idea and made sure to interlace surprising twists and turns along the story, which makes the read so much fun and even addictive! I will say that at times things worked out too easily or a bit too perfectly, which slightly damaged the authenticity of the story, but the great writing and storyline were more than adequate compensation. As a reader and I writer myself, a good book is one that you just can't take off your hand until the very last page, and in this sense, "Demain" is an excellent book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Mud Vein; Author: Tarryn Fisher; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: Mud Vein contains many layers, which are peeled slowly, page by page. This book is like a long-term marathon in comparison to a short sprint, with a steady pace of new discoveries and deep insights. It might be a bit slow-paced, but it is well written and is easy to devour. This story is full of incredible sadness, but it also entails some optimism. A lonely, "damaged" author finds herself in a isolated house, surrounded by an electric fence and endless white snow, with her former lover. There is no way to escape. Days turn into weeks, weeks are stretched into months. As we read, we learn more about Senna's tragic past and her dysfunctional relationships. Nevertheless, along the toughest crises, love shows its true power. That's why I see it as a love story rather than a suspense novel. This story is about lost, shredded love. There's something unique about this book. Its plot is shifting between the past and the present, so the pieces of this timeless puzzle click together and reveal the inner world of the characters. Senna isn't trying to impress us, at times it seems like she wants to push us away - but in her odd behavior, in her emotional alienation, in her fatal mistakes - somehow, she still manages to get into our hearts.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Second Sex; Author: Simone de Beauvoir; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I read it in parts during a whole semester in one of my first courses in gender studies. While reading Simone's essay, I thought it was tremendously brave, enlightening and unbelievably ahead of its time. Her words pierced through my mind and left a deep impression. She was one of the most valuable theoretical pillars of my degree and my feminist outlook on life.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | goodreads |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: West End Hotel; City: Kirkwall Mainland Orkney Islands Scotland; Review: Although we initially wanted a hotel by the harbour, we were glad we changed our minds. The West End is a superbly-run small hotel in a very quiet spot and with excellent food and service. We stayed in Captain Richan's suite initially (on the ground floor with separate twin bedroom and sitting room plus ensuite shower room) then in the ensuite four-poster room 2 on the first floor just a short stagger from the bar. Both rooms were charmingly furnished, with antique furniture and more knick-knacks than the Antiques Roadshow. Most importantly, they were both very quiet. Breakfasts in the dining room, which is filled with blue Wedgewood collected by Giffie the manager's grandmother, are an experience, warmed in winter by an open fire and overseen by the large teddy bear seated at the grand piano (another heirloom). The small bar - again, heated by an open fireplace in winter - has the plush and relaxing atmosphere of a gentleman's club. The menu in the adjoining restaurant, while somewhat limited, concentrates on doing a few things well (the Orkney fudge cheesecake is well worth leaving space for). Best of all, nothing seems too much trouble for Giffie in reception, Robert and Kirsten in the bar/restaurant and the rest of the staff. I would say the hotel certainly merits its current number one spot in Kirkwall on Trip Advisor.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taversoe Hotel; City: Rousay Orkney Islands Scotland; Review: Taversoe Hotel is more like a restaurant and bar with rooms than a conventional hotel, although it does offer a residents lounge with superb views and a good library of books and DVDs. At present, there are two double rooms with sea views, which share a bathroom with shower, and a twin room with its own ensuite shower room. Plans are in hand to rebuild the hotel over the winter of 2010-11 to create four rooms, all with ensuite facilities. Meals in the restaurant are excellent (try the succulent Orkney beef steaks and the home-made Orkney fudge cheesecake) and the bar has a full range of Orkney beers and malt whiskies. Carey Maguire runs the hotel virtually single-handed (except for her delightful collie cross-breed, Roo), which gives the Taversoe more of a friendly B&B feeling than anything. The hotel is close to the main Neolithic sites on Rousay, virtually opposite the Trumland RSPB reserve and about two miles from the important Neolithic tomb and Iron Age settlement of Mid Howe.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Butler Court; City: Kilkenny County Kilkenny; Review: It's hard to fault the rooms at the Butler Court, which are set in a quiet courtyard off Patrick Street, just five minutes from the centre of Kilkenny. Very well appointed, with comfortable beds, TV, refrigerator, bathrooms with walk-in showers, dressing table/desk and free Wifi, all rooms have electronic card entry (as does the courtyard entrance outside working hours). Proprietors John and Yvonne are exceptionally helpful with tips on attractions, bars and restaurants and where to find the best 'craic' in Kilkenny. Don't expect a blow-out Irish breakfast - rooms are stocked with cereal, scones, fresh fruit and yoghurt for a DIY continental-style breakfast (which suited us fine). If driving, car parking for the duration of your stay is complimentary at the Ormonde Street multi-storey just five minutes walk away (you can park right outside the Butler Court for 10-15 minutes while you unload your bags).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Friars Glen; City: Killarney County Kerry; Review: Friars Glen is the best B&B we've encountered - in Ireland or anywhere else. Situated in its own grounds up a long, daffodil-lined driveway, the large house has stunning views over the mountains of the Kilkenny National Park and is only five minutes drive from Muckross House, the centre of the estate that forms the nucleus of the Park. The welcome from Bridget, who smothers guests with hospitality on arrival, and from proprietor Mary O'Leary can't be faulted and usually includes a complimentary pot of tea in the lounge in front of a roaring peat fire in the winter months. Our room was huge - virtually a suite - with every facility including free wifi. Breakfasts in the conservatory-style breakfast room overlooking the mountains are beautifully presented (for a change from the usual Irish breakfast, try the banana fritter with honey and bacon). Friars Glen won't suit if you want to be in the centre of Killarney (it's five kilometres south on the Kenmare road), but its perfect if you want peace and quiet and have your own transport for evening meals.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Kastro; City: Ioannina Ioannina Region Epirus; Review: A little gem of a hotel, although hard to find inside the walls of the Kastro (if driving, just ignore the no entry signs at the Kastro entrance on the lakeside, charge in and then ask someone for directions!). A beautifully converted stone mansion house, the Hotel Kastro was refurbished only last year to a very high standard. The four upstairs rooms are worth the extra as they are more spacious and have a great view of the citadel and the mountains beyond. The Byzantine Museum is only two minutes away. The family owners are very friendly and the breakfast good. One of the quietest and most relaxing small hotels we've ever stayed in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Archontiko Dilofou; City: Dilofo Zagorohoria Ioannina Region Epirus; Review: Very traditional hotel in an exceptionally quiet village (only five permanent inhabitants). It's quite a long walk from the car park to the hotel, so heavy bags are a pain. Head from the car park down the cobbled lane, turn right and go down to the main square (which has the sole taverna in the village), turn right at the taverna and then left up a small alley. The hotel is through a small doorway in the wall on your left. The hotel is beautifully decorated in traditional style and the rooms are very comfortable (room 12 is especially good and has triple aspect). There are also some studio rooms across the courtyard. The breakfasts are excellent, using locally made ingredients, staff are friendly and the hotel has free wifi.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Papaevangelou Hotel; City: Papigko Zagorohoria Ioannina Region Epirus; Review: Not an easy place to find (go straight through the village, past a big church tower to your right and a smaller church to your left, where you fork right and continue to the end of the lane. There, turn left up a narrow gravel road and Papaevangelou's is 100 metres along up a very steep final slope. When you get there, the views are stunning, the location extremely peaceful and the welcome overwhelming (Giorgios is a gem!). Breakfasts are taken in a separate breakfast room or on the adjacent terrace and are superb. Rooms are either in the main house or four separate studios, the latter complete with kitchenettes, dining area, TV/DVD player and library. We visited in June at a quiet time and were immediately upgraded to a studio. Only wish we could have stayed a third night.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: London Bridge Hotel; City: London England; Review: Very well situated for the South Bank, Globe Theatre, HMS Belfast, City of London, Tower Bridge, The Shard and all the attractions of SE London. Rooms are very comfortable, with huge (king-size) beds and all the usual facilities. Very helpful staff made for a relaxing weekend. If we had one criticism, it was the lack of a (say, £5.95) continental breakfast as an alternative to the £16.95 full breakfast offer. We requested just coffee and croissants and paid a reduced price, so ask if that's what you want.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Aroma Dryos Eco Design Hotel; City: Metsovo Ioannina Region Epirus; Review: What a brilliant little hotel! Just 16 rooms but in a very quiet location on the SE edge of the town with superb views over the mountains. We had one of the superior rooms, with fireplace, balcony and dual aspect and it was worth the extra for the five days of our stay. The rooms are furnished to an exceptionally high standard and the beds are the most comfortable we've ever experienced in a hotel. Service from the management team, George and Vicky, was first class and the breakfasts (with yoghurt and preserves made by Vicky's mother and mother-in-law) excellent. We checked out the other recommended hotels during our stay and the Aroma Dryos was easily the best.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Luttrell Arms; City: Dunster Exmoor National Park England; Review: It's over 35 years since we first stayed at the Luttrell Arms, then run by THF. It's improved out of all recognition since then. We booked room 12, a four poster room with a spectacular 17th century fireplace and a superb view of the famous yarn market. The bar is delightful and very popular with local diners; the restaurant is also good but pricier.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cardynham House; City: Painswick Stroud District Cotswolds England; Review: We booked here when the Falcon Inn failed to respond to an email and were glad we did. Cardynham House is on a quiet corner in the most picturesque part of the village with a bistro on the ground floor and 11 bedrooms on the first and second floors. All the rooms are individually designed and full of character - we had the Old Tuscany with a four poster and Latin epigrams around the walls (and a good connection to the wifi modem in the lounge below). Breakfast was excellent and the evening bistro meal pricey but good (beautifully tender Chateaubriand), although the wine list is somewhat short. Bistro closes Sunday nights and all day Monday, but the Royal Oak pub next door does good pub food seven days a week. Finally, don't expect to park anywhere near - it's a five minute walk to the nearest car park.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Marlin Apartments Limehouse; City: London England; Review: Our second visit to the Marlin Apartments in Limehouse and sadly not as good as the first. There are at least two different single bedroom apartments, which is not clear from the website when booking, and the second time we visited we were assigned a much more pokey one than the first. So insist on one with a proper round dining table and bedroom with a door rather than a Japanese-style screen. It's also worth asking for a quiet apartment overlooking the inner courtyard as all the ones with outside windows suffer from traffic noise.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Ilchester Arms Hotel; City: Abbotsbury Weymouth Dorset England; Review: A lovely period property, which has been sympathetically restored to create a smart but relaxing ambience. We had the Charlotte Room, a four poster with a huge flat screen TV and small seating area in the bay window with an outlook over St Catharine's chapel and the sunset over the imposing hill on which it stands. The bathroom featured his and hers washbasins and a corner bath with shower fitting over. Meals are taken in one of the several attractive dining areas or in the conservatory at the rear. We sampled the beef and red wine pie, sirloin steak, steakburger and slow-roast duck leg during our stay - all well presented and cooked with the last being probably the star.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Karslake House; City: Winsford Exmoor National Park England; Review: Karslake House is not a 'Country Guest House' and hasn't been for several years. It's a rental cottage (and a superb one) whose owners, John and Carole, live in another part of the former guest house next door. Karslake House is in the centre of the row, the cottage to the left, Karslake Cottage, being under separate ownership. It is excellently appointed (unlike some cottages where the owners simply dump all the crockery and utensils they don't want!) and there are showers in all three rooms. One of the double rooms also has a toilet (although this makes the bathroom space very cramped); the second (king-size) double has toilet and bath just across the landing. The twin room has just a shower. The only slight negative is that, being a period property (17th century) the floor levels vary both upstairs and downstairs and there are numerous steps to trap the unwary, especially if returning late from the excellent Royal Oak inn just 100 metres down the road.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Concierge Confidential: The Gloves Come Off--and the Secrets Come Out! Tales from the Man Who Serves Millionaires,; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Fazio Page; Review: This is an interesting book and I can't shake the feeling that, despite a few candid moments, the author is still on the job. I wasn't expecting to open this book and find Page 6 gossip, which it doesn't give beyond things already known (Salma Hayek can be difficult to work with), I also wasn't expecting what I found: someone in the concierge business that still has to be careful not to insult potential clients. I can't put my finger on what it is exactly about this book that makes it seem just too apologetic for the dirt that is shown. There is no doubt that the author clearly appreciates the role he can play in people's lives, visible or invisible, I was disappointed at how much he backed off once he was getting to the heart of a matter.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Daddy's Girl; Author: Visit Amazon's Debbie Drechsler Page; Review: A stark, short tale of a woman who grew up in a sexually abusive home and how that person reacted to the abuse. There is no fluffy writing here, abuse and behavior is shone in bare-bone snipits and snapshots, including self-blame and acting out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America; Author: Visit Amazon's Erik Larson Page; Review: Using historical documents and first hand accounts from the time, Erik Larson weaves together events to present the story of two Americas, an idealized America that existed within the true, gritty America. The story is basically about one event, the 1893 World's Fair, and the creation of a city the size of which America, even most of the Western world, had never seen before. The struggle to build the Fair, keep everyone employed, be more successful than the 1889 Exposition Universelle, bring visitors, pay off the cost of the Fair, maintain law and order, and to "out Eiffel, Eiffel" was enormous. One man, architect Daniel Burnham managed to bring people together and create the "White City" against amazing odds. While people were relatively safe inside the world of the White City, outside was a very different story. I highly recommend reading this book. Larson is a gifted storyteller and the knowledge you come away with on how important this Fair was to the progress of America going into the 20th century is remarkable. Not only did Larson capture Chicago in the three or four year time period but he also showed what was happening in the world at that time. The World's Fair brought together people from all over the world, from all walks of life, who would never have had cause or location to cross paths outside the Fair. I can't recommend this book enough!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Day Satan Called: A True Encounter with Demon Possession and Exorcism; Author: Visit Amazon's Bill Scott Page; Review: This was a pretty good book until near the end when the author took an odd turn towards preaching about things he doesn't understand. Dungeons and Dragons doesn't lead to Satan worship...I would think these sorts of things would be understood in this century. Beyond the last part of the book, the rest was decent.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Residence Inn by Marriott Cypress Los Alamitos; City: Los Alamitos California; Review: We stayed here for one night in a two bedroom/two bathroom suite and it was perfect for us. The hotel is located in a nice quiet area with plenty of restaurants and stores in the area. Short drive to the freeway. The staff was really nice, even gave me cookies upon check-in. I felt safe leaving my car in the parking lot. The free breakfast was a big plus! And they offer free Wi-Fi! As for cons - the toiletry items in one of the bathrooms were not replaced, they were all opened and used from the previous guest, and one of the hand towels was very old and had a ripped in it.. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable but the beds in the rooms were fine.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Los Angeles Pasadena Monrovia; City: Monrovia California; Review: We were put in a room on the second above an area where there was construction/remodeling going on and I did not get any sleep! Why would the staff put anybody in a room above an area where they know there would be noises because of construction/remodeling? Check in was very quick and easy, and when we got to the room, there were no construction noises coming from downstairs, this was around 4:30. We left for the evening, and returned after midnight and I noticed a worker in the room below my room sanding or sawing something. It was late and I figured I didn't want to change rooms at that time, and I definitely regret not asking to change rooms because at around 7AM... I heard the noises! Hammering... bang, bang, bang, silence... bang, bang, bang, silence! This went on all morning!!! I had in earplugs and I could still hear the noises coming from downstairs; I fell in and out of sleep. It was just awful because I like it to be completely quiet when I sleep, which I know can be hard when staying at a hotel. I like the location of this hotel since they're right off the freeway and there are many places to eat in the area, staff was very friendly, and the room was clean, but the noises in the early morning made it miserable for me.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Times Square; City: New York City New York; Review: We were looking for a hotel with parking and found this place that offered validated parking for $30.00 (24 hrs) and it is centrally located in Times Square. Walking distance to many of the tourist spots and the subway is right across the street. We were able to check in early at 12:30 with no problem, and we were given two floor choices - second or third floor. We chose the second floor facing the street. Let me just say that it was a nice, clean room with two double beds but you can hear the train roaring below you every 10 - 12 mins. So if you are looking for a good night's sleep then I suggest requesting a higher floor. Or make sure to bring earplugs and perhaps some sleep aid. When it was time for bed, I used my earplugs, took a melatonin, and I was out for a good 6 hours. My friend however, had a hard time sleeping. Do not expect to watch TV either.... only one channel worked which was Lifetime. Of course we weren't there to stay inside and watch TV all day but it would have been nice to have something to watch while waiting for my turn to use the bathroom. The staff was super cool, everybody from the front desk, bellhop, housekeeping, and concierge. Not sure if we will return to this hotel on our next visit to NYC but only because we like trying different hotels.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Magic Castle Hotel; City: Los Angeles California; Review: I love how all the staff members here are SO FRIENDLY! We arrived right before 3 PM and was immediately greeted by a young woman. She was in the middle of checking us in, but had to go take care of something else, so one of the young gentlemen took over and finished with our check-in. I cannot remember his name, but he was quite helpful, answering all the questions we had. Our room wasn't ready, so we waited in the lobby. And while we waited, we could see how great the front desk treated their guests as people were coming in and out of the lobby, requesting snacks or requesting information on transportation. Our one bedroom suite with two full beds was on the second level and we had a balcony looking out to the pool. The suite was huge and clean, but we did have an issue with the linens, but it was quickly resolved as housekeeping did a great job changing the sheets upon our request. We went out for the evening and when we got back to the suite, we saw that they left chocolate mints on our pillows. The bathroom was small and there were no hooks on the back of door to hang anything nor were there counter space, but there was a vanity area right outside the bathroom and it had plenty of lighting. Bathrobes were a nice touch but were way too big for us. I'm sure had we requested them in our size, they would have sent some up. Free breakfast in the morning in the lobby with cereals, pastries, yogurt, coffee, tea, and juice. There were not enough seating outside so we brought it back to our suite and ate. Parking is a right below the hotel, but it was a little tight getting in and out of the spaces, but that could just be me not used to small parking garages.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Inglewood Lax La Airport; City: Inglewood California; Review: We were going to a concert at The Forum and wanted a hotel room close by so that we could change and rest before and after the concert without staying the whole night. We walked into the lobby and was greeted by a nice gentleman at the front desk. We told him we were checking in and then I asked him about The Forum since my boyfriend and I have never been there. I then gave him a heads up that we would be checking out around 2 am after we get done with the concert. He then asked if we would take a room with a leak. At the time I didn't think too much about it so I figured why not... we're not there to sleep, we're only there to change and get ready, so we said yes, we would take the room with the leak. He told us the room was clean and that if we changed our minds once we get to the room then we could switch rooms. We get to the room and we see the leak and it wasn't too bad, but we did notice a strange smell but once again it wasn't bad enough for us to switch rooms. The room was definitely old and dated but clean. Bathroom did not have a lock and at one point, the toilet kept flushing by itself. we had to jiggle the handle to make it stop. When we were ready to check out, we went to lock the door behind us, but it wouldn't lock. We immediately told the front desk clerk about the door not locking. We definitely regret accepting the room with the leak especially since no discount was even offered.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown; City: Denver Colorado; Review: We had a great stay even though it was only for one night. We drove in and valet greeted us with a big smile! The young man working valet was very polite, he told us that it would be $29.00, and he even mentioned that they had a shuttle that would take us anywhere within three miles. We chose this hotel because it is so close to the Pepsi Center and it was an easy walk. Check in was quick and the gentleman checking us in was also very polite and welcoming. We got to our room on the second floor and was pleasantly surprised at how spacious it was and very clean! The bathroom was big but the only thing I didn't like was that there was no lock on the bathroom door which was a sliding door. There was a nice little living area to sit and watch TV. Refrigerator and microwave are in the cabinet under the TV. We checked out the next morning and once again we got great service from the front desk clerk and from valet. Will definitely stay here again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jamaica Bay Inn; City: Marina del Rey California; Review: This review is a little long overdue. We stayed here for my birthday weekend and it was quite pleasant. They offered valet parking and self parking. We opted to self park which was just a few steps from valet. And, once you're given a key card, you can enter the hotel from the side entrance instead of having to walk to the front door. The young woman at check-in was nice and it was quick and easy. We took a small elevator to our floor and found our room. It was actually very spacious and very clean. The bathroom was clean and the shower space was huge. It could fit at least two people comfortably. The only thing I didn't like was that the bathroom door was a sliding door and it doesn't lock. The bed was also very comfortable. We had a view of the Killer Shrimp across the street but that was OK though.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Residence Inn Grand Junction; City: Grand Junction Colorado; Review: We decided to stay here as our first overnight stop as we made our cross country trip from Las Vegas to Massachusetts. I was greeted by a very nice woman upon check-in. There were issues with her computer so check in took a little bit longer than usual but I didn't mind. We went up to our one bedroom suite and it was clean. There were two televisions, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. The sofa bed was Ok but housekeeping didn't leave the correct linens for the sofa bed. It should have been a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and a pillow, but instead they left two flat sheets with no extra pillow. It was a good thing the bed in the bedroom had for pillows. Breakfast in the morning was fine, nothing too special. It wasn't busy at all so that was good. Plenty of parking and plenty of places to eat in the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Residence Inn Coralville; City: Coralville Iowa; Review: We stayed for one night and it was just ok. The hotel is located right near the train tracks and we were woken up by the train in the middle of the night. The train roars by blowing its horn not once, not twice, but three times. So if you're looking for a good night sleep with no interruption then I would suggest going somewhere else. I deducted one star for not letting us know about the train. Had the front desk mentioned the train when we checked in, I would have slept with ear plugs. Not sure that would have helped block the noise though. Our room was clean and it smelled like it had just been cleaned. Honestly, the smell was a little overwhelming at first, but after a while, we got used to it. We utilized the sofa bed and it was ok, a little better than other sofa beds we've used. The extra linens were in the closet and it included a fitted sheet, flat sheet, blanket, and extra pillow. On the day we checked in, it was raining really hard, and I didn't take all my things out of my car yet. When we got to the room, I noticed it was close to the stairs. I saw an employee vacuuming the hallway so I asked if the stairs led to an exit, and where should I park to be closer to that door. He was very nice and showed me where I could park so that it would be easier to bring my luggage from the car to the door. The breakfast in the morning was good and the attendant kept the area clean.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Italian Short Stories For Beginners: 8 Unconventional Short Stories to Grow Your Vocabulary and Learn Italian the Fun Way!; Author: Visit Amazon's Olly Richards Page; Review: This is an excellent resource for language learners who want to get started reading Italian (or the other languages it's available in). Olly's method for leading you through these short stories is extremely efficient and effective. It's exactly how I recommend my English students get started reading and the method I've used in my own learning, but Olly takes out all of the 'leg work'. Usually while reading I would use a pencil and underline or write down words I don't know and then go through the hassle after of looking up the new vocabulary and trying to find the right definition. Olly not only gives you a glossary of the most challenging vocab in each chapter with the correct definition (so you don't even have to put down the book), but he also gives you summaries so you can check your comprehension. Usually, you'd need a teacher to help you with this, so these short stories just give you so much value! I'm totally going to be using some of the other books for other languages I'm learning, hope it comes in Hebrew soon. Highly recommend!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Hotel Rialto; City: Venice Veneto; Review: We've been coming to the Rialto Hotel for a number of years and love the position, the breakfast selection is good and the outside eating area is first rate.

Title: St James s Club Morgan Bay; City: Choc Gros Islet Quarter St Lucia; Review: A beautiful resort with great facilities, wonderful helpful staff always smiling and exceptionally polite. Food was very very good and plentiful, expect to put on weight! Evening entertainment was fantastic and the hotel staff all join in the dancing which helped to really get to know them. We stayed in block 10 which has great views of the sea and resort, it's quite a walk from the reception and no lift to the second floor but hotel staff drive you to the block in a golf buggy so that's not a problem, however, if you have walking disability make sure you notify the resort when you book and they will accommodate you. All in all a fantastic holiday and we didn't want to leave so are definitely going back for a longer stay, have fun.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Riu Cancun; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: This is the 2nd time we've been at this hotel and we decided to be there for the New Years Night, what a fantastic decision, my wife, 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters had a wonderful time. The hotel staff were great and nothing was too much trouble, entertainment was really good throughout the day and evening. Food was once again first class with something for everyone. We spent a lot of time in the sea as well as the various pools which considering we were there in December and January was a pleasant surprise. All in all a great holiday and would recommend this hotel to everybody.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alua Miami Ibiza; City: Es Canar Santa Eulalia del Rio Ibiza Balearic Islands; Review: Reception slow and no security sense, passports left on the counter for anyone to take, I suggest you don't let them out of your site. Food was plentiful and ok, we had a superior room and it was far from superior, aircon was useless, storage space very small and the room was small. There is a book in the room which states "no inflatables in the pool and you are not allowed to save sun beds with towels" guess what? Pool full of inflatables and towels left on sun beds all night and all day so we never got to be around the pool. We opted for the beach and was charged 5 euros per sun bed and 5 for umbrellas so 7 beds plus 3 umbrellas so 50 euros per day times 7 days and we had spent 350 euros on an all inclusive holiday and we didn't sit around or go in the pool once. On the subject of all inclusive, this doesn't include bottled water, ice tea and some cocktails. This hotel is in a brilliant position but spoilt by lack of thought and customer satisfaction, would I go back to this hotel? Noooooooo.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Sharm Waterfalls Resort; City: Sharm El Sheikh South Sinai Red Sea and Sinai; Review: Wonderful holiday with great amenities and fantastic polite staff.

Title: The Billionaire's Dark Side; Author: Visit Amazon's Cherry Kay Page; Review: I can honestly say that this story does not make any sense. I skimmed the entire book trying to find a redeeming spot and the story seemed to get worse. The characters are contradictory throughout the book. The girl has values allegedly but seem to throw them out the window at every turn. The guy makes no secret that he wants her and he is totally a sponge. I will read another book by Cherry and hopefully the next book will be better. The title is amazing and I get the deceit but the plot is not delivered correctly.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Loved By You: BBW BWWM Romance (Found by You) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Victoria H Smith Page; Review: First of all, I would like to thank Victoria for granting me the opportunity to recieve an ARC. This book had my emotions (happy, sad, frustrated, mad enough to snort fire, love, hope, eagerness, disappointment, humbleness and etc.) on overload to say the least. If you are an avid reader looking for a story that can relate to your personal struggles, even if you do not want to admit to anyone else, pick up the first book while awaiting the second book and explore Griffin & Roxie's World. This story pertains to all the demons/self-crimination we face on a daily basis (Society & Mayhem). Okay a little about the story! Griffin and Roxie are away in Miami and adjusting (used to a more laid back atmosphere). Griffin has been granted an opportunity for the starting role, he dives in head first and gets caught up in the world of professional sports. Meanwhile Roxie is still trying to find her footing. She chooses to stay in the confines of their apartment (with the exception of attending games to support Griffin), where she feels safe. As many of you know, to say that we still live in a world where interracial couples are still heavily frowned upon is an understatement. To ensure Roxie of her place in his world, Griffin proposes at half-time trying to ward off the groupies, jump-offs and those with malicious intent. Victoria has brought interracial dating to the forefront and reveal the different phases a couple may face if he/she chooses to walk the path to conform to society as opposed to being strong enough to stand on his/her own. Griffin encounters an under-handed agent only after making money by any means necessary. Roxie encounters a Bridal Consultant Assistant from hell. Will Griffin and Roxie allow the outside influencers to regulate how they should live? Sorry, but you will have to read to get that question answered. It is so worth the read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Viper; Author: Visit Amazon's Kele Moon Page; Review: Okay, this is a new author that intrigued me from reading a briefing about overview of the second book. However, I am one that wants to read the beginning to get acquainted with the characters that will be mentioned. Let me just commend the author on a another favorite fan. Marc and Katie are two opposites storms. Marc is a tsunami and Katie is the calm aftermath. When put together, EXPLOSIVE. So if you want a great series and an author that can make you feel her scenes through writing, give Kele Moon a try. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. But you will be anxiously awaiting the next part of the story like me. Tino and Nova need their better half along with all the craziness that goes on in a loyal family that is SPOILED. Oh, by the way, Tino will be the third book according to the ending in the second book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fear II; Author: Visit Amazon's Amarie Avant Page; Review: This book is very different than the first book. It provides history to give us a glimpse of Victor and Luxury before undeniable attraction takes over. When it's love, there are no lines that will not be crossed. Luxury, will she implore her self defense tactics to save herself and unborn child? Or, will Madeline win? Tick tock tick........; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vinnie, Her Italian Billionaire; Author: Rosa Foxxe; Review: This story will definitely leave you guessing. The characters were likeable to a fault...

Time and distance may cause a heart ache. But once the universe brings your true love back, you will stop at nothing to regain the other half of your soul.

I am quite sure everyone has heard the saying "what GOD has for you is for you" well this is that book. I would love if the story was longer or extended to a sequel (please). The plot was riveting and kept me turning the pages until the very end. CJ Howard had produced another addicting read. Happy Reading; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unsettled; Author: Visit Amazon's S.C. Ellington Page; Review: I truly believe it is so important to have open communication in a relationship. Without the openness, doubt always finds a way of distorting what your soul is obviously trying to reveal. This book shows how broken communication can derail the best of intentions. Will Logan & Brooklyn find themselves before the point of no return is reached? Starting on the next book immediately and will let you know! Loved the book; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Surrounded (Unsettled Series, Book Two); Author: Visit Amazon's S.C. Ellington Page; Review: Well, the conclusion of this book was the saddest due to the fact that it ended. Logan & Brooklyn are awesome and hopefully this will not be the end of their journey (hint). It is nice to see Alex & Jay receive their hard fought battle that ended in total bliss. Communication opened a lot of previously closed doors and the healing process began for the family. Please take the time and open dialogue between an estranged loved one and watch your blossoming relationship be revived.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Boss Lady; Author: Visit Amazon's Lolah Lace Page; Review: Lukas, Nicki and Kelly are emotionally tangled and rightfully so when put in a situation that was destined to be regardless of the initial introduction.

We are all troubled by something in our lives but when we open our hearts to the overflowing feelings of acceptance of the other love prevails.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unbreak Her Heart; Author: Visit Amazon's Lacey Legend Page; Review: The book was beauifully written with characters that were insatiable together. These are the characters that everyone loves and hates at the same time. My heart is truly broken because the book came to a close. I hope Lacey decides to continue the series. I am sure that everyone (all genres) wants to be loved and will definitely love the material presented. The plot was a page turner and when the end arrived (still searching for more) that is the only part that will be a disappointment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Repercussions; Author: Shawn Starr; Review: If you are looking for a roller coaster ride that gets down and dirty with drama, then this is the book for you. I am excited to have joined several book clubs on Facebook, because they have an open avenue to many authors you would normally never hear about let alone get a masterpiece in the aftermath. This book is hands down electrifying. I am anxiously awaiting his next book. I already have the book about the hairdresser and wandering husband (Dark Fidelity) and will begin reading immediately. I have another author that can get my adrenaline pumping.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Outlaw's Bride: Grizzlies MC Romance (Outlaw Love); Author: Visit Amazon's Nicole Snow Page; Review: This is by far a very gritty read and I loved every minute. My only problem was that the book ended too quick. Roman is my kind of man (unapologetic, ruthless, mind boggling, irritable, stubborn, my way or else) buy hey what do you expect from someone who treats his lady like the queen she is while at the same time loving her enough to let her be herself, everywhere except the bedroom. Roman calls all the shots and Sally loves the nothing held back intense loving that Roman lays down. But oh, when Roman feels betrayed, watch your @@@; when Roman wants loving, leave off your !!!!!!!. A page burner throughout the entire book. I am in the midst of ordering the entire series to kick off the fourth with the fireworks that Ms. Snow delivers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dark Infidelity 2 (Volume 2); Author: Shawn Starr; Review: You have really surpassed the mind boggling twist that everyone is skating around. It is sad that we continually stereotype individuals based off of looks. It is equally disappointing that we continue to stay in loveless relationships, due to the fact that we are afraid of what someone may say. You are the only person that has the ability to allow another person's negativity affect how you live. This book is an emotionally rollercoaster that everyone needs to read. No is not okay to be treated as anything except the individual that God has called you to be and if you cannot have that with the one you are with it time to STEP. I am anxiously awaiting to see how far Demus, Alliyah, her soon to be undercover brother of an &&&&&&& Lester and we absolutely have to remember Maxwell will do in the upcoming novel. This is a scorching read so be prepared.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Black Pearl; Author: Visit Amazon's Tiffany Patterson Page; Review: Turn the music up!!!! Nick & Devyn are simply sensational. Everyone has a past and a future. It is up to the individual how the future shapes depending on his or her actions. Nick is an ALPHA to the heart and Devyn is struggling to find her rightful place. Nick is compassionate and determined to have the love of his life remain, but will he be able to tone down his actions as to not scare off Devyn? Marcus is an &&&&&&&! Andre is laid back. Raul is intense. And last but not least, Mercedes wants to be indifferent towards Raul but a friend no matter what to Devyn. I hope there is an intense story being developed between Raul & Mercedes because it is burning already with few interaction. Also, a sequel to Nick and Devyn story is needed ASAP!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Billionaire's Call Girl; Author: Visit Amazon's CJ Howard Page; Review: CJ has claimed her crown once again! Love is in the air but the parties are attached.

Title: Race For Love (The Donovans) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Nana Malone Page; Review: Racing in itself is a high adrenaline rush. Now put that rush with a smoking hot man to go along with all the power of a purring V8 engine (combust on the spot). Now add all the twists and turns (temptation) that life throws at you and your have Nana at her best AGAIN.

Title: Dipping Into Sin; Author: Visit Amazon's DJ Parker Page; Review: DJ, DJ, DJ The continuation is just beautiful. It is very hard to come across a love as strong as the bond that Andriano, Simone and the triplets possess. They are so in tuned with one another that it just takes your breath away. A rat never survives when ------- over the hands that provide an all access buffet. Victoria better watch her step along with her daddy's lover because there are new bosses and a lonely DA that just twisted the plot that much thicker. This is pure brilliance and DJ delivered the deeds!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Heels of Love (G Street Chronicles Presents) (From Love to Loathe); Author: Visit Amazon's Phoenix Rayne Page; Review: Cricket & Jyme are synced by their souls and no situation or circumstance will leave them irrevocably broke.

Aaron's trust in Melissa is unmoving but his trust in Mia is questionable. Aaron is slowly being introduced to the world with a fresh set of eyes. Aaron's brotherhood is trying to kill him; Mia is a liar. Where does Aaron turn for comfort when his world revolves around deception? It is scary to go against everything you know and let someone in only to learn of their under-handiness. In order to be free, one must learn to be open to the possibility of disappointment because we all have flaws and is a work in progress. This book will make you pause and reevaluate your own mannerism and how you see the world. Are we blinded by the pain of our past? Can we only see others fault because we have not questioned the reasoning behind our own shortcomings?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Word of Honor (From Race to Redemption) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Tiana Laveen Page; Review: Aaron & Mia are true soul mates to endure all the hate that surrounded them on a continuous basis. Aaron & Mia are troubled because they both are living for others as opposed to making themselves happy. When you grow up in dysfunction, dysfunction follows. When you grow up seeking others approval, it is used against you to mold you into the individual that he or she sees fit. We hold such power in our hands and sometimes that power blinds us because we think are doing what is best for the individual when in actuality we are causing more harm than good. I am a firm believer that GOD has created someone special for each of us and we have to rid of the weed to see the blossoming flower that will become beautiful once the owner finds their rightful soul mate. Aaron knew he had to overcome obstacles from his past and fight for a future with Mia. Please do not be mistaken as to think that our past deeds do not come to hunt us because the devil takes no prisoners and comes with a vengeance even though we have parted ways with the !!!!!!! But if we take from Aaron, we have to stand strong and protect our loved ones by any means necessary. Tiana you totally rock!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Yours (A Dark Bad Boy Romance Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Aubrey Dark Page; Review: This book is emotionally captivating.

Title: Fresh: A BWWM Secret Billionaire Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Alyse Zaftig Page; Review: Amelia & Jimmy are in a new scope of territory (when it comes to relationships) but they put forth the effort. Amelia is spoiled and has always had her way, but Jimmy it seems have had no trouble expressing himself business wise. They are thrust into a world (while the intentions were good, it is insane) that heavily sought marriages are manipulated and arranged by so called loved ones. Then to add insult to injury, Mary Jo is disrespectful and tries to stake her claim all but two seconds and never heard from again. Then Amelia decides she needs a break and heads off to Hawaii for some alone time. This is @@@ backwards because no woman will openly be disrespectful in my home and I leave my husband no matter how our initial situation came into fruition. When vows were exchanged, they should have been on one accord not further splintering. Hopefully there is a sequel coming because back story need to be filled in order to make this a true masterpiece. All ingredients are there, it just needs that extra spice to make it sizzle. It is still a very enjoyable read; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Hilton Sorrento Palace; City: Sorrento Province of Naples Campania; Review: Standard Hilton service and style - ok with us. Nice rooms with excellent view ( Hilton plus room - be sure to get this, otherwise you face a cliff wall !! ). Pool area and garden nice. Breakfast absolutly great. Bar prices to high except for happy hour. Quite a walk uphill from town, but that is the price for the exeptional view. If you get a discount its worth the money, but the list price seems a bit steep. Stay of the internet - it is extremly expensive. Should be free at this type of hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: PowerSmith PAAC301 Ash Vacuum Filter; Brand: POWERSMITH; Review: Filters the fine ash dust wonderfully. It keeps the air in our home cleaner and causes less clean up! A must for the Powersmith ash vac, we have two so that we can wash one and replace it with the additional filter immediately.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: PowerSmith PAAC302 Ash Vacuum Cleaning Kit; Brand: POWERSMITH; Review: We got the PowerSmith Ash Vac, plus the cleaning kit and extra filters due to the reviews we had read. Prior to getting it, my husband used a shopvac to clean our pellet stoves, ugh! The shop vac emitted a lot of ash into the air and dusting and vacuming the house was necessary afterward. With this new vac, that is not a problem. Plus, if there is a bit of warm ash left in the pot, it's not an issue of the filter catching on fire. We love this. We actually own two now, as we have a cabin in the UP of MI, and we have a wood fireplace there. This vac is so helpful and works great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Great central location to.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Waldorf Tetra Serviced Apartments; City: Auckland Central North Island; Review: Room was clean and tidy. Got 1 bed apart as had a baby with us. Bedroom was big enough to out cot in which was great. Used street parking as its free after 6pm on sat and free all day Sunday. Not many around tho. Only downside was the shower had very weak pressure so more of a dribble than a shower.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: 136 On Bealey Motel; City: Christchurch Canterbury Region South Island; Review: Person who checked us in very friendly. Gave us the larger family room as we had a baby with us. Very large room with plenty of room for cot which we bought with us. Room very clean. Only had kettle, microwave, fridge and toaster in room. Had plates and cutlery so all catered for. Shower was amazing. Fantastic water pressure. Had to wash dishes in bathroom sink as didn't have sink in room. Not a major issue. Only issue is its proximity to a busy main road and intersection. We were there mid week so noise died down around 11pm ish and traffic noise started up at about 630am. Not the motels fault about the noise but if stayed there again I would ask for a room on car park side as that would be much quieter. Great value for the cost.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Aotea Motel; City: Christchurch Canterbury Region South Island; Review: The owner was very friendly on check in. The one bed unit was quite spacious. A bit dated inside, but looks like they are renovating some of the units. The shower had poor water pressure. Kitchenette was well equipped with hot plates and a microwave. Despite being on a busy road due to the layout, the rooms are very quiet and you could hardly hear the road. Beds were comfortable with a fairly hard mattress which we prefer. 10 min walk to the city center.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Abba Court Motel; City: Queenstown Otago Region South Island; Review: This place is very close to town. About a 5 min walk into town. Probably less but we had a buggy. The bedroom and lounge are very big. They also lent us a high chair so we could feed the little one. He had plenty of room to play during the day. Great views of surrounding area. Has laundry room too. Only negative is the stairs to get to the top units but buggy was light enough to carry. Would stay here again and would highly recommend it as close to town but still quiet. Supermarket and petrol station about 1 min walk away so handy if you want to cook your own food.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Alpine Glacier Motor Lodge; City: Franz Josef Westland National Park Te Wahipounamu West Coast; Review: We got the large family suite which had plenty room for the two of us and a baby in our baby cot.

A 1 min walk to the main shops and restaurants.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Braxmere; City: Tokaanu Waikato Region North Island; Review: This place is tucked away at the edge of the lake so is secluded which is great. The units are very modern and spacious. We were able to fit the Porta cot in the bedroom for our little one. The heat pump was on when we arrived so was nice and cosy. Views in the morning were amazing of the lake from our cabin. Each cabin also has a bbq so in the summer would be a great place to stay. Look forward to finding an excuse to stay again; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ASURE Abode on Courtenay Motor Inn; City: New Plymouth Taranaki Region North Island; Review: Great location for New Plymouth. Most of the resturants are a few minutes walk away.

Title: Rocky Men's Rkc050 Military and Tactical Boot; Brand: ; Review: I like this boot and it fits as expected, HOWEVER the only reason why I'm giving it 2 stars versus 3 is because the inside seem and fabric cuts into my achilles heel when I walk. For someone in the military who will always be on the move, it's important to NOT have any surface rub as that'll result in blisters and overall being very uncomfortable. I do wear a thick wool sock that goes up practically to my knees and it only cut into one heel for me. Maybe it's my girl foot/ankle compared to a man's... Unfortunately, I had to return it for that particular reason.
