Title: City Living Scholler Hotel Apartments; City: Trondheim Trondheim Municipality Sor Trondelag C; Review: Nice property,value for money,helpful staff, comfortable bed.

Title: Meriton Suites North Ryde; City: North Ryde Ryde Greater Sydney New South Wales; Review: Room was comfortable with a serviceable kitchenette allowing us to buy something for dinner from the shopping mall just over the road. There is a railway station close by for those without wheels but a car is probably essential if you want to see more of the things that Sydney offers without too much hassle.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dubai International Hotel; City: Dubai Emirate of Dubai; Review: We stayed at the Dubai hotel in the transit area of Dubai airport to break our journey between Europe and Australia. We were met at the arrival gate and promptly guided to the hotel reception desk, bypassing the queues waiting to have their baggage inspected. Check in was professional and our room very welcome and comfortable. Highly recommended if you don't want to face the challenge of flying to/from Australia to/from Europe all in one hit. A bit on the expensive side at $200 AUD for the night but worth it if you want a comfortable bed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Airport; City: Mascot Botany Bay Greater Sydney New South Wales; Review: If you need accommodation near Sydney Domestic airport, this place is great. Comfortable, quiet and only a short walk to Mascot train station, supermarket and restaurants. Our special price included undercover parking which was a great extra.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Johnson Lodge Spa; City: Manali Manali Tehsil Kullu District Himachal Pradesh; Review: I think I can easily call this the best vacation that I have had so far... it was the view, the snow, the staff, the food and so many things that made it perfect. I was planning a vacation for my husband and me on his birthday along with our dog Coco. We had booked a place in Dalhousie and left Delhi. On the way we checked the weather forecast and there was a flood threat, so we thought it a better idea to remain safe and change plans. That's when we thought of Manali. We had stayed in the Johnson lodge for new year's eve in 2012 and were absolutely sure of the hotel being a great option. I coordinated with Ranjit and he arranged for a cake for my husband at such short notice. Not only that, he was so thoughtful that he gave us balloons with messages inscribed on them. After the warm welcome, we slept off and were greeted by snow the next day. The resort looked so pretty. The icing on the cake was to see the staff being excited about it too. My dog, Coco went crazy in the snow. The resort is pet-friendly in it's true sense. All the waiters were so friendly with our dog that it made him happier(the snow was making him insanely happy). The rest of the days went by so peacefully and were amazing fun. By Saturday evening, we were so upset about the vacation ending but it was a little scary to think that if it snowed again, we would have to miss work on Monday too. That's when Ranjit arranged for Sitaram to take our car down to their property in Kullu. The plan was that the next day, he would drop us in his 4x4 gypsy to our car. Thank God for his thoughtfulness, otherwise we would have never been able to make it out with all the snow that happened on Saturday night too. Overall, I would recommend that you can book this place without a second thought and be ready for an amazing vacation. Thanks once again for the wonderful hospitality to everyone at Johnson Lodge!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Carolina; City: Athens Attica; Review: Book this hotel if you are looking for the perfect location on a tight budget. Room was small and noisy, but the location was perfect. We checked out in the morning and had to go to Acropolis. You can leave your bags there after checking out and pick them up whenever. We were very happy with our choice since it totally matched our requirements.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Olympic Villas; City: Oia Santorini Cyclades South Aegean; Review: The place is a fantastic deal with an amazing location. It's a 10-minute walk from the main market and the back of the hotel has an amazing view of the Caldera. You can chill in the pool and soak in the view. The bus stop is a 2-minute walk and you can get a bus to Fira for just €1.8. Clean and spacious rooms, and very friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay here and would totally recommend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Navona Suites; City: Rome Lazio; Review: We took time to find the place since it's hidden in a corner, but the location is amazing! You are right at Piazza Navona with great cafes, singing people, fountains and happiness! The restaurants are a little expensive here, but the food's great at most of the places. Rooms are not the biggest, but very clean and nicely done. They can just be a little noisy, but that's about it. Definite value for your money. The Trevi fountain is a 5-10 minute walk, even the Pantheon is very close. We walked to the Colosseum too, although it's a long walk.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Wilderness; City: Narkanda Shimla District Himachal Pradesh; Review: This was my second vacation at this place. It's a little beyond the main town of Narkanda. We ended up going there with our dogs this Diwali, since we wanted to be away from all the noise. Most of their staff was on leave, and there was just person, Vijay, taking care of us, but he never let us know that. He's one of the most polite people, an amazing cook and had a bonfire ready for us every evening. He was joined the next day by Satpal, who was awesome too. We had requested Mr Rajesh to allow an early check in and he was very accommodating. Rooms are very spacious here and the balcony has an amazing view. They have done up the dining area in the main cottage very tastefully. Haatu peak is about half an hour's drive to the top and has a great view. We drive half way and trekked up the other half. Overall, a perfect vacation with excellent rooms, delicious food, scenic views and friendly staff!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Donnybrook Hall Hotel; City: Dublin County Dublin; Review: We stayed here in December. I was waiting for my husband to join me in Dublin, and was a little early in arriving to the place. Debbie, the hostess was very helpful and gave me a lot of information about Dublin while I waited. She offered to book our bus tours too. The housekeeping team is very friendly too, and makes sure that you feel at home. We stayed in room #3. There was a flight of steps to go down and two queen beds in the room. The set up is very cute and cozy. The bathroom is very clean too. Overall, it's a great place to stay with very warm hosts. It's a little far from the temple bar area, but there's bus stop right outside their lane.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Nest Cottages; City: Pangot Nainital District Uttarakhand; Review: We traveled here with our dog since it's a pet friendly place. The place is not too far from Delhi. Once you are on the Kilbury road, it is a little narrow but a very comfortable drive. After you reach, you won't get any network, so it's the perfect place to disconnect. We didn't make too much of an effort to find network, but they were telling us about places we could walk to if we needed to make calls. The staff is very courteous and always asked if we have any preferences for our food. The rooms are very nice and cosy, with a fireplace inside which is a huge help in the night. There's not much to do, but we would find random trails and go hiking in the day. Overall, it's a great place and a perfect one to unwind.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Amsterdam Centre; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: The rooms are quite basic and clean, but it's the best you will get for this price at the location. The location is great, and you can walk just about anywhere. You are right in the heart of the city at the city center. There's a 24 hour tuck shop right on the ground floor, so you can pick up things like juice, water, sandwiches, etc at any time. Overall, a great choice of hotel!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dwarka Eco Beach Resort; City: Canacona South Goa District Goa; Review: We drove from Gurgaon with our dog and got to know about this pet friendly resort next to a lagoon, and that just made it an obvious choice. We stayed one night in North Goa, and started for this place around 11am. It took us about 2 hours to cover this 80km drive, and the last 1.5kms were the most exciting as it involved driving over a dirt track. Siddhesh from the resort was kind enough to come to the beginning of the track to ensure that we were comfortable. Once you park, you are at the top of the cliff with a magnificent view. It's about a 5-7 minute walk down, and the view is breathtaking! The rooms are very neat and offer great views too! We spent our days taking a dip in the beach and the lagoon. The resort has kayaks available which you can take to the lagoon too. The staff is super courteous, and the food's delicious with a homely feel. We still have the roasted cashew recipe from the snacks the chef whipped up for us in the evenings :) Absolutely loved the place. Raghav does a great job at managing the property and ensuring all guests are happy. We had a great time chatting with him and hearing his travel stories too. The chef and the entire staff ensures that your stay is nothing but great! Thank you for a wonderful experience!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Royal Pratap Niwas; City: Udaipur Udaipur District Rajasthan; Review: Udaipur was our first stop on our drive to Goa from Delhi. We traveled with our dog and it's not easy to get hotel options that are pet friendly, but we found this wonderful hotel. The rooms are very neat, and the staff is courteous. The view from the terrace is something you shouldn't miss!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Birdcage; City: Mukteshwar Nainital District Uttarakhand; Review: The first time we went here was in March 2018, and this February was our 5th trip there. I think that tells you how much we LOVE this place. We've traveled with different people here, and everyone has been awestruck by Birdcage. The delicious food served in the restaurant, the warm host that Nishant is, the cozy rooms and the wonderful views that you have from the property, all add up to an amazing experience. Our dog Coco, my husband and I have been the constants here, and there's something about this place that makes us feel like we are home. An added attraction is Joey of course, who will make sure that you feel welcome. If you haven't been here, trust me that this place should be on your bucket list. It's totally worth the drive or the train ride or even the flight :); Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Kona Grill - Carmel; City: Carmel, IN; Review: I chose this restaurant for my birthday dinner and invited two friends along with my husband. We were seated in the main dining room. I had always been in the bar area at other visits. I was surprised to find the main dining room to be extremely loud. I could not hear the waitress or our friends. The table next to us had two screaming children and a mother that did not care. It really made our dinner difficult. We spent a lot of money and we tried to hurry and get out of this place. I did not even eat my dessert and forgot our left overs. Sad to be so disappointed with your own pick. I wish we could do it all over again and sit in the bar. Our friends asked us if we knew it was so loud. What can I say? No !; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Joe's Crab Shack; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Went there on a Saturday evening and sat in a booth in the bar just early enough to beat the huge crowd that arrived. I had a really good Margarita in a mason jar and my husband had a beer. Then we had Calamari that we both enjoyed. I had shrimp and fish and my husband had fish and chips. We both were very pleased with our meal. Bartender/waiter was very helpful and upbeat. It took a while to finally get our check and leave but I am always ready to go quickly after eating.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: HotBox Pizza; City: Carmel, IN; Review: Had pizza from here very recently and was so happy and pleased with the entire process. Do not eat much pizza. It is rare pleasure for us. We try to avoid the calories. Even the delivery went well and was on time. They were nice on the phone also, since we are not that familiar with their choices. Just a really good experience. Good Pizza!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: BRU Burger Bar - Carmel; City: Carmel, IN; Review: Great burgers and they will build it just the way you like it if you do not see one that is just right for you. I love their salads, also. The fries and onion rings are also great. The staff seems very educated with the menu and very helpful. Decent drinks! Wish they offered a few more types of sandwiches and other options. Service is always excellent. If you want a great salad or burger, this is the place to go!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Matt the Miller's Tavern; City: Carmel, IN; Review: Been here twice with friends and everyone has enjoyed their food and drinks. Like the atmosphere and selection of foods. Lots of different offerings like the Grits and Shrimp. I have thought the food was a bit pricey but we always talk about coming back soon. Service was good. Things ran smooth for us on both visits. Yes, we will be back.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ristorante Roma; City: Carmel, IN; Review: My son was in town from deployment and wanted Italian. I read the reviews and we all went for a celebration meal while he was in town. That strip mall has been there forever but I was shocked to see the restaurant hidden down in the corner. My son and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. My husband did not like his food. I wish he had told them it was not good. I would like to go back but his experience was so different than mine. We had lots of drinks, appetizers and food. It was a very large bill. That is all he can remember! It is sad when this happens because 2 out of the 3 had a great meal. I have suggested trying it again and he thought the food was bland and over priced. Do not know if we will ever go back!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Kona Grill - Carmel; City: Carmel, IN; Review: After a not so perfect visit to this establishment and a nice conversation with the assistant manager, my husband and I returned to the Kona Grill. Such a difference in our experience that evening. We made sure we got a nice table and noted that noise had been an issue to our greeter at our last visit. She made sure we were in a little better area from lots of noise and children. We could really hear ourselves and sit back and enjoy this nice restaurant. If you read my first review, it had not been one I had enjoyed. The service was so nice and I appreciated her extra attention to our needs. We did have drinks, appetizers , two wonderful dinners and we shared a brûlée for dessert. I was comfortable and relaxed the entire time. What a difference it made. This actually took place sometime ago and illness prevented me from updating this review. I owed it to the restaurant to get this update out there. They heard our concerns and made up for that experience. I hope to be back sometime soon to the Kona Grill.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dooley O'Toole's; City: Carmel, IN; Review: Always a good meal at a reasonable price. We like the soups and stews a ton. We also like most of their specials . You can get a burger, salad or a full meal. Great choices on the menu. I can enjoy ice tea with many refills or a nice glass of wine. No pressure from the staff. They are nice and laid back. Service is usually fast. It is a go to place for my family during the week. We even call and order for take out every few weeks.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wolfies Grill - Carmel; City: Carmel, IN; Review: This is one of our favorite go to restaurants in Carmel especially during the week. It can be crowded but we have always been seated quickly. Mixed drinks are decent but I think we like the atmosphere and food the most. We have even enjoyed their live bands on Tuesday evenings. I like the salads very much including the taco salad and chicken salad. My husband likes lots of different sandwiches, burgers, tenderloin and fries. We seem to both be able to get what we want and enjoy the surroundings. Staff have always been kind and helpful. We feel comfortable here.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The North End BBQ; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Had an early dinner starting with a great appetizer of shrimp and grits this evening. We shared this but this could of been my dinner. It was so good. We ordered a rack of ribs with two sides each. I had cornbread and coleslaw. Both were great. My husband had fries cooked in jalapeños and coleslaw. The baby back ribs were great and I enjoyed the classic barbecue sauce. My husband had the hot sauce and a little sweet mixed in. He is braver than I. We enjoyed the classic ambiance in the bar area and watching so many people coming and going meeting for drinks. It was relaxing but kind of a business crowd. The food was really great. All of it from the appetizer, entree, sides and the piece of sugar cream pie we took home with us. I am sure we will be back. They even have parking in the back if you are picking up food for home. This restaurant is well run with good atmosphere and good food. Bartenders/ waiters were very attentive and helpful the entire time. What a nice experience!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Caliente Mexican Restaurant; City: Carmel, IN; Review: Needing a New Mexican restaurant, we decided to try Caliente's in Carmel. Lots of parking behind the restaurant. When we walked in, I loved the brightness of the decor. So many colors that were festive and appropriate. It is done in a pleasant way so you do not feel like it is temporary or cheap. We looked in the bar, which is small but have a large screen. They do have a few screens up in the main dining area. Not important to me but nice to my husband. It was Margarita day and we got a big ultimate mix. It was huge and fun for us to share. We enjoyed the salsa and chips for a while and then ordered fajitas of steak and chicken. They were excellent! Not over cooked or dry. We did have to get more guacamole and sour cream but with that request we were both very happy. Refried beans did not come with the meal and my husband missed having them. He forgot about that after the extra sour cream and guacamole arrived. He will probably order them on another visit. Food and drinks were so enjoyed and there is no doubt about our ultimate return. Definitely, the best Mexican food we have had in Carmel. The waiter was fine but hard to understand. Not that bad cause everything came out great. We also thought the prices were very fair. It was a very pleasant meal and adventure for us both. Go and have fun!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bonefish Grill; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I do not think I have ever given 5 stars to any restaurant but I am doing it now. Went to Bonefish a couple of nights ago and just have to say, the food is great. The decor is very nice and the bar is a nice place to hang out if you have to wait for a table. All age adults seem comfortable here. The bang bang shrimp is always fantastic as an appetizer. If you go on Wednesday, I believe they are half price. Tuesday specials are also so good. The have great 3 course meals for a reasonable price. I loved the cod special on Tuesday. My go to meal is the Chilean Sea Bass. It is always just delightful. I have even always enjoyed the different flavors of brûlée for dessert. One is easily shared for two. We try to go early to avoid the huge crowds but this is one of the places I would wait to eat. Always even been lucky with good service. The food is reasonably priced for the high quality. Yes, they deserve 5 stars!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews; City: Carmel, IN; Review: This is the place we meet family no and then. They take care of children well in the main dining room and offer a wide selection of food for everyone. My husband and I like to go just the two of us and sit in the bar. Usually, the bartender waits on you and we enjoy trying different drinks. They make great recommendations and the drinks are not only good but fair in price. Great Margarita today for $5.50. So, we passed on an appetizer because of endless fries. Save a few dollars! I loved the teriyaki chicken sandwich. It was grilled with provolone cheese. Excellent! My fries disappeared from Simone that ordered onion rings. So, them brought me more. My husband liked his burger but seemed enjoy the tings and fries the most. Who cares as long as everyone is happy . We like the mood and quick service in the bar. They always make you feel like they know you and that you are welcome! Good food for the money, also!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Zen Nails and Spa; City: Carmel, IN; Review: I tried this salon from reading all the reviews. I had a mani/pedi done by the recommended individual. I arrived 15 minutes early to see the place and pick out colors. I was approached rather quickly by the individual to hurry because he was waiting. I was 15 minutes early. I grabbed a color and sat down. He had someone else do my pedicure. So, one guy was working on my feet while the other wrapped my nails to remove the color. I felt instead of calm and enjoyment, rushed. The pedicure was quick with no rubbing or massage. I paid extra to smell a special aroma but I can not remember what it was...When I sat at the table to get my nails trimmed, I asked to have them shorten. That they were! Extremely short now and nothing can be done but I know they will grow back. I did the dip color. The color of the dip and my toes, do not match. Guess they tried to hurry me too much. Actually, they told me it was the same color. It was not the same. One had a coral color and the other more pink. I just thought, I usually enjoy a pedicure and the chair that gives you a message. I do not know if the chair I was in even did that. I now know what fat fingers look like if the dip is too thick. After a week, my fingers looked like fat guppies or pregnant fish. I laughed looking at them. I now know there is a technique to dipping your fingers. It looks much more natural when it is a thin coat of color. Just OK for me and this visit. I never liked feeling rushed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Beyoutiful Nails; City: Carmel, IN; Review: Wanted to try this place. I left messages on phone and at the web site. Never heard from anyone. Left another phone message another day and again, I heard from no one. Guess they have so much business they do not want more.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: El Rodeo; City: Carmel, IN; Review: Best Mexican food we have enjoyed in a long time. Some of ourfavorites have gone out of business. Just in the area and decided to try it on a Thursday night. The place was packed. Ordered bar margaritas to just see how good they were. We are worn out on all the types and upgrades you have to order to get a good Marg. They were good flavor and plenty of tequila. Upgrades were not necessary. We ordered the queso with beef. Really good with chips. We both ordered enchiladas and ended up bringing some home. They were all so good but the appetizer was very filling. The waiter was great. He got the Colts game on the tv's and lots of people started clapping. He was a big help and very observant to all our needs. What a nice surprise this place was for us! Oh, yes, we will be back. Reasonable and enough food for lunch the next day!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Weston Cleaners; City: Carmel, IN; Review: The first time there and I had lots of cleaning for them. Never been impressed by any dry cleaners since I lived in this area. I picked up my blankets yesterday and I could not believe how professionally packed they were. Each one looked brand new. The staff is so kind. I met two people that work there and they just were so helpful and nice to me. I would recommend their work to anyone. It was not cheap but for the level of work done that they provided, it was more than reasonable. I can not believe I said that! They are quite a drive from my home but that will not stop me from returning. 5 stars OH, YES !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: City Barbeque; City: Carmel, IN; Review: I JUST LOVE ALL THEIR SIDES. Yum! I love their chili when available. The brisket, chicken, ribs, and pork are all favorites for my family. Pretty much everything they have is so good. So many sauces, I am sure you will love one or two. Great to order and go pick up for a great feast. Took me a couple of visits to feel comfortable here to know what to order. One time the chicken was not cooked completely done. Everything else, all other trips, has been so good!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Country Inn Suites by Radisson Houghton MI; City: Houghton Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: Weary from two nights of camping in the rain, we went to the hotel the morning of our check in to see if we might be able to get to our room a few hours early. We were more than pleased with Ryan, the front desk staff's impressive customer service, friendliness, empathy and flexibility to accommodate us right then! The hotel was clean and quiet and a great value. The pool area was a great place to unwind and the whirlpool and pool were nice temperatures for relaxation. We look forward to staying again. We give this hotel, and it's staff (especially Ryan) the highest of accolades and suggest this hotel without any hesitation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Milwaukee Brookfield; City: Brookfield Wisconsin; Review: Very nice and clean room. Very friendly and accomodating staff. The public and outdoor areas were a bit outdated, but they were comfortable all the same. The whirlpool was small and narrow and there were some rowdy kids in the pool when we were trying to unwind, but that's no fault of the hotel :) We'd stay here again and recommend it for business travel, but probably not for leisure.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Country Inn Suites by Radisson Cedar Rapids North IA; City: Cedar Rapids Iowa; Review: Pleasant stay at a comfortable hotel. Front desk staff were very accommodating. We were upgraded to a nicer room and loved it! While there is always room for improvement, we would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling for business or pleasure. We'd definitely stay again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Wausau; City: Wausau Wisconsin; Review: Wonderful customer service at our arrival with the friendly front desk staff. Great pool and whirlpool. Clean room, great location. Can't ask for much more :) I hope to have the opportunity to visit this location again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn San Diego Del Mar; City: San Diego California; Review: A nice, clean hotel. Friendly and respectful front desk staff. Location good for business, but tough for anything else. Clean pool and nice fitness area. Okay Mexican restaurant within walking distance. Would recommend for solo business travel. As always, comfortable and clean beds :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort; City: Santa Barbara California; Review: A wonderful stay with friendly staff, especially at the front desk. Thanks for the upgrade :) We experienced a minor issue in our bathroom which required us to leave the room for repairs. However, it was a minor inconvenience and we were quite pleased with the staff's pleasant demeanor and ability to turn it around quickly. Would love to stay again. Reccomend for leisure and leisurely business travel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Naples; City: Naples Florida; Review: Upon my arrival, I received a very warm welcome from all hotel staff - the concierge, valet (even though I didn't partake), and the front desk staff. But, that's kinda where it stopped. I was a bit disenchanted on my second day. I attempted to enjoy the breakfast on the executive floor before I left for the day to find the room dead bolted at 8 a.m. The coffee was ready outside, but that was it. A young lady my age commiserated with me. Hrmfhh. Additionally that morning I discovered my shower head didn't work. I bit the bullet and took a bath and informed the front desk. When i came back to my room 12 hours later it was fixed. How nice :) After a long day at work, I went for a night swim. The pool was warm and relaxing. At 9:30, I attempted to get back into the building but my key wouldn't let me in. Wet and cold I decided to call the front desk to have someone rescue me. I did not want to traipse through the lobby in my bikini as it shares a space with an expensive steakhouse (this sconnie was not impressed with their food but service was top notch (thanks, Carla!) ). Anyways, during my call I was lectured that the pool closed at 10, which was 30 minutes from when I called. That's why I wasn't given access, so I was told. So much for being treated like an adult. This makes zero sense to me. If the pool closes at 10, guests should be allowed to exit until 10. Because I was unimpressed with the in-house food, I brought back Buffalo Wild Wings to my room one evening. When I entered the lobby a front desk staff member gave me and my bag major stink eye. Really made me feel like crap. I doubt it was intentional. I would like to stay here again, but I doubt I'd rely in-house for food. Maybe I'll hide outside food in a Tiffany bag through the lobby? And I really hope that the timing for the pool use and door access can be consistent. This review may seem a bit harsh, but if you doubt my sincerity, please read all of my other reviews. I'm an eternal optimist and usually let things roll off my skin. I was let down by this location. I've consistently received better service at Hamptons and was tempted to check out early and head to the one up the road.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Suites Lady Lake The Villages; City: The Villages Florida; Review: Upon my arrival, Mel, the front desk attendant was warm and welcoming. As a new Hilton Gold member, she helped me figure some stuff out and made me feel at home. Thanks Mel! The pool isn't heated, but is nice and clean. The workout facilities offer three nice options to de-stress. Beds comfortable as always - Hampton Inns have my favorite beds - and good wifi. I have two areas in which I believe could be improved. The rooms were clean and the housekeeping was good, but failed to replace the toiletries and washcloths that I had used. I really could've used an extra washcloth and pod of coffee, but it when I type it out, it seems rather insignificant. The walls are very thin. The people in the room next to mine were talking later at night, in normal voices, and I could hear everything they said. My advice-bring some earplugs :) With this being said, I've stayed here before and I'll stay here again. I recommend it for business or leisure travel. I'd love to see some restaurants pop up within walking distance!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Tampa Northwest Oldsmar; City: Oldsmar Florida; Review: Another great stay at this HGI. A warm welcome from the front desk staff and assistance with three large and clunky boxes I had delivered to me. They certainly were helpful, which after a long day of travel was most appreciated. I have stayed here before and I'll stay here again. Nice to have restaurant locations close by. Great pool area and quality wifi. I recommend this location for business travel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Fort Myers Airport FGCU; City: Fort Myers Florida; Review: Wonderful location. Large rooms. The wifi is of good speed and the on-site restaurant was quite accommodating and staff were very nice. The pool was warm and clean. No complaints here! Thanks for a great stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Kearney; City: Kearney Nebraska; Review: I guess the one in Mission Valley San Diego comes in with a closer tie... but travelers will and should be impressed! Fine customer service-nothing to complain about. Exceptionally clean rooms with high ceilings and large bathrooms are luxurious for a Hampton Inn. We were so pleasantly surprised with this, and the complimentary evening reception. Wow! It's like Embassy Suites :) We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area. I'd recommend this for business travel. There doesn't seem to be much for kids to do, but we don't have kids so this was actually a plus for us ;) The office chair in the room was the absolute comfiest office chair. We tried googling where we could buy one to no avail.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western The Hotel Chequamegon; City: Ashland Wisconsin; Review: A nice hotel, charming and small. Shows it's age a bit. The staff I interacted with were very friendly and accommodating. Rooms spacious and clean. The plumbing seemed off in the entire hotel, though. From our room toilet to public restroom sinks and the hot tub. It kept making weird bellowing noises. Nice breakfast, good pool area and fast wifi :) Anyways, I do recommend this for a family/couples stay. I'd stay here again if I was in the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Plover Stevens Point; City: Plover Wisconsin; Review: Upon arrival, I was greeted in the friendliest of fashions by a male front desk staff. He upgraded my room and he probably has no idea how much I needed that and how appreciative I was. But, it set my day in such a great course. I highly recommend this clean, convenient and comfortable location to any business traveler. I look forward to staying here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Wausau; City: Wausau Wisconsin; Review: My second stay here with the same exceptional customer service upon checking in. A convenient location. Quiet rooms. Typical comfy Hampton bed. Clean. Friendly. I will definitely stay here again and suggest business travelers to do the same. My only question is, why no pantry?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Suites Event Center; City: Des Moines Iowa; Review: A very good stay at this location with our dog. Upon check in, we received a friendly and warm welcome from Ashley. She did a great job. The location of this hotel can't be beat - so convenient! Rooms were absolutely huge, and while not a fancy hotel, very clean and pretty quiet. We look forward to staying here again the next time we travel to Des Moines with our dog. We recommend you do the same!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: Wow! What a fantastic check-in experience during a busy Sunday. I appreciate the kind and friendly hospitality. Workout facilities and the pool/whirlpool are so nice, especially after a long day. The sauna seemed to take quite a bit to warm up, but maybe it was operator error ;) I doubt I would stay here again as a business traveler, however I would encourage tourists and families to stay here. I was disappointed with the dining options available in-hotel. It would be nice if the bar/restaurant area had a better selection for carryout and even dine-in options. I don't recommend the restaurant slightly adjoined to this hotel (Bellweather) - the service and quality of food left a lot to be desired.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Suites Seal Beach; City: Seal Beach California; Review: I've stayed here several times before as the location is FANTASTIC. Quiet, spacious and clean rooms. This is what you would expect for a typical Hampton Inn. What you may not expect is the incredible level of customer service the front desk staff offer. I did not catch the name of the young man who helped me and my party upon our arrival, but he was courteous, helpful and kind. These are the important touches that will keep me coming back each time I'm in this area. I highly recommend business travelers take my advice and stay here.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Old Town SeaWorld Area; City: San Diego California; Review: We have been waiting for YEARS for a Hilton property to come to the Old Town neighborhood. This new location did not disappoint from the friendly front desk staff, to the breakfast burritos at Verde, to the location, to the comfortable rooms... We can't wait to stay here again. The rooms are quiet yet comfortable. The location cannot be beat for both business travelers (close to the 8 and 5) and tourists (a quick walk to transit) alike. A well-earned 5-star stay with only two points to consider for travelers booking this location: The hot tub could have been "hotter" (whine, whine.. but maybe this is a green initiative and if so, consider my wrist slapped) We had a bad experience with the "cab" the front desk arranged for us to get us to the airport... shady rip-off at 4:00 a.m.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Country Inn Suites by Radisson Sparta WI; City: Sparta Wisconsin; Review: We usually have good experiences with Country Inn and Suites, as most are dog-friendly and clean. On a little road trip, we thought this would be a good stopping point. We paid extra for our dog (happy to do so) and a suite which, according to our reservation was supposed to have a whirlpool tub, kitchenette and a pull out couch (maybe a couch, I can't recall). When we arrived we wound up in a small room. No couch. No tub (in fact, the bathroom was quite small and dingy) and the "kitchenette" was a small microwave and fridge next to our bed on a cheap counter. This definitely was not what we were expecting. I asked my husband if we should inquire at the front desk and he indicated a level of uncertainty and lack of trust with staff he interacted with on check in. Underwhelmed with our room, we decided to sit on the front porch with our dog. The weather was nice, but we kept noticing what seemed to be a revolving door of people who were obviously not hotel guests, coming in and out of the pool area. Lots of kids and questionable characters. Needless to say, we didn't use the pool facilities and seeing this activity made me feel unsafe in a hotel we paid for. I would not recommend staying at this hotel. Especially families.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: SLA Boutique Hostel; City: Phnom Penh; Review: I stayed for one night and it was great. When you arrive you get a citymap, a tour in the hostel and a free drink. The breakfast is really good for a reasonable price and there's a lot of choice. The bed are comfy and there's a good working ac. Very friendly staff and cozy public rooms. One negative point: the shower has a very low waterpressure level. Great stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Aura Thematic Hostel; City: Phnom Penh; Review: This place offers everything a hostel should offer, and better, at a perfect location (behind the royal Palace). I stayed in the jungle room and every day the room was cleaned. Even our clothes and towels were folded. The shower was amazing. A hot shower with high pressure. The ac worked perfect and the bed was comfy. There is a bar on the top floor and every day there's something special to do (and not too loud). Perfect hostel for your stay in phnon penh.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ha Tien Happy Hotel; City: Ha Tien Kien Giang Province; Review: I think the title says it all. The two stars are for the room we got. It was very nice with a very good working ac and they cleaned it every day. BUT the noise inside the building is unbelievable. Massage sessions in the hallway until 11pm with lots of clapping, hitting, chatting... Every morning from 5.45am people start running around, shouting and there flipflops hitting the floor. At 6.00am they start moving furniture or something. An alarm started to go of. Knocking on the walls. And because in the hallway you can look to every floor, you can hear every floor. I really had no idea what was going on every morning. And around 8am it always got quiet... Second of all, the laundry services is a disaster. Too expensive and you get your clothes back with staines and a yellow shine on light coloured pieces. No ironing. I would not recommend this place if you want a good night's rest.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Thao Anh Guesthouse; City: Can Tho Mekong Delta; Review: For a couple of nights this place is fine but nothing to write home about. 1 receptionist can speak English, the other not at all so some conversations in the lobby were on the phone. We did get a citymap and some guidelines where to go. Also, the hotel provided us with a great Mekong boattrip and bustickets to Saigon. The room was very spacious but really empty and not nice. The bed was hard, tv had a bad reception. The lighting consisted of a tl light and a discoball. The ac was good until the last morning when it started to break down. Bathroom was ok but the waterpressure wasn't the best. Good wifi, good price; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Blues Guest House; City: Ko Chang Trat Province; Review: We stayed here for three nights. Staff is friendly but very limited English. A clean room. Bed was comfy and we had a fan (ac is possible too). Very small shower with good water pressure. Very basic but good. Location is nice. 5 -10 minute walk to a beautiful beach. Shops, restaurant and services all around. You can rent a motor bike for 200B (24 hours) to explore the whole island. We had a great stay!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Two Rivers; City: Chepstow Monmouthshire South Wales Wales; Review: Everything you need in a hotel you can get in this place. Roomservice everyday, towels, AC, wifi... It really is a good deal for what you get. One minor point of critique: We asked for a 3 person bedroom but the third bed was only a very thin matress on an extended sofa. It was really hard to sleep on. So I would not recommend a 3 person bedroom. Next to the sleeping block there's a restaurant with actually really good food that you can order all day. No complaints there. Thanks for the stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: YHA Cardiff Central; City: Cardiff South Wales Wales; Review: First of all: as a youth hostel it is a great place. Still, there are some things that made it not good enough for me. The wifi is terrible, really terrible. 2 out of 3 nights the noise was too much. I couldn't sleep at all and finally the last morning we had no hot water. Also there is too little staff to serve breakfast. On the positive side: the room was really nice and spacious, the bed and bathroom were very nice and clean, we had good AC and the food was good as well.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: In Harm's Way VHS; Brand: John Wayne; Review: Early in this naval drama, which begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor, The Captain tells his Executive officer to "fish or cut bait."

Title: Homewood Suites by Hilton San Antonio Riverwalk Downtown; City: San Antonio Texas; Review: We stayed at the Homewood Suites the second week in December. The property is on the River Walk downtown. Most of the action takes place a couple of blocks away. Just walk down the stairs next to the hotel and take the beautiful stone path down the river. Our room was clean, the staff were very helpful and professional and having a small kitchen for snacks and drinks was a plus. Morning breakfast was always good. The hotel serves complimentary beer, wine and margaritas in the evening. We weren't crazy about the evening meal but all the wonderful "extras" make up for it. There are so many places within walking distance and getting to other attractions, as other reviewers mentioned, were easy. I would strongly recommend this hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Meyer Bed and Breakfast on Cypress Creek; City: Comfort Texas; Review: We stayed in Suites 702 & 703. Both are African-themed and if you like hunting trophies you're in for a treat. The layout of the rooms were perfect for our large family with beautiful views of Cypress Creek, the deer that feed across the creek and good WiFi. Just below the rooms is a hot tub and an outdoor fireplace. We visted the B & B in December and temperatures were unseasonably low. One of the rooms became very cold overnight but the owner did their best to make sure we were comfortable the next night. The historic and lovely property offers an amazing breakfasts and is in close proximity to Comfort, TX shopping. If you're interested in a great restaurant, try Po Po Restaurant in Boerne, TX. They offer great southern cooking!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Albuquerque Old Town; City: Albuquerque New Mexico; Review: Our stay was wonderful and we were delightfully surprised to learn during our stay that the property sales manager was a longtime friend from Taos, New Mexico! The staff was friendly, the breakfast was great, the location convenient to everything in Albuquerque, The rooms were large, clean and quiet, the pool/hot tub area was a welcomed treat after a long drive, there was plenty of parking! We'll definitely return in the future!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Madeline Hotel Residences Auberge Resorts Collection; City: Mountain Village Colorado; Review: This was our third visit to Telluride in the last six years and seeing the great reviews on tripadvisor we decided to give the Madeline Hotel and Residences a try. The stay exceeded all expectations! Doug greeted us upon arrival and Ted's welcome at the front desk was incredibly warm. The room and the views were incredible. Although we missed the peak, there were still plenty of aspens with turning with leaves still turning a brilliant yellow. The hotel is just steps from the gondola and after making breakfast, with one of the finest kitchens I've seen, we headed to Telluride to shop. The fireplace, the soaking tub, the beautiful layout of the room helped make this one of the finest vacations we've ever had. David was very accommodating when we called to ask to use the DVD to watch a movie the hotel provides. Kelly checked us out upon our departure and Brad helped us get us set for the road! I would highly recommend the Madeline!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Georgetown Washington D C; City: Washington DC District of Columbia; Review: I normally don't book hotels using a third party vendor but hotel prices in DC ranged around $400 per night at the time I needed a room. I was thrilled to find out that the hotel I booked was a Westin. I was even more thrilled when I went online and checked out the property. It had most of the amenities I looked for including a gym, desirable location (near Georgetown), a focus on health through the amenities listed on the website. The hotel promised to "Relax. Invigorate. Renew." The hotel did not deliver. The property does not look like the one featured in the website. The court yard was closed, the property is very noisy (not their fault), it is awkward in it's layout. The front desk staff were accommodating and pleasant. I would recommend this hotel only if you're looking for a functional place to stay while on business travel and not on vacation in DC to see the sights.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Josh is convinced Tess is a fraud. He gets approval to do a behind the scenes story on her and actually moves in with her for a short time. Read this story to find out what Josh's story will reveal about Tess and her career as a TV personality and about himself. There were many funny moments in this story, a lot of sexiness, some passion, self-discovery and lessons learned. I enjoyed the book but I did not feel like I was drawn into the story. It was as if the story was rushed. This is a quick, not short but fast, sweet romance. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Talking Dirty With the Player - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jackie Ashenden Page; Review: I LOVED it! This was an amazing and fulfilling contemporary romance. The story of Judith, a photographer and Caleb, the famous rugby player who is her brother's best friend. They had a short affair when she was 18 and he broke her heart. Eight years later and she's doing a photoshoot for a charity calendar for him. The sparks fly but is it enough to risk getting her heart broken again? This book is a must read! There is never a dull moment from the first page to the last. The character development was great! I felt like I got to know each of them gradually and by the end they were like friends of mine that I didn't want to leave. I fell in lust with Caleb, the sexy rugby player. I rooted for him and I disliked him and then rooted for him some more. I now know why it was so hard for Judith to resist his charm. The characters were funny, sexy, emotional, and real. Thank you Jackie Ashenden for in incredible story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Risky Surrender (Take a Risk Series Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Robin Bielman Page; Review: All Lucy Davenport, archeologist, wants to do is fulfill the promise she made to her father and husband before they died in a Guatemalan cave two years ago. Keats McCall, preservationist, thought he'd found a thief, but what he'd found was an archeologist with questionable motives. Lucy's task is in direct conflict with the job Keats is assigned to do. Does he allow her to fulfill her promise illegally and possibly go to jail or does he find a way to help the woman he's fallen desperately in love with? I love the way the author connects the two main characters and pulls the reader into the romance. Even though I usually enjoy books that are a little longer in length, I did enjoy this one. I think there could have been more storyline during the romance because it did feel a tiny bit rushed, but it was still a fulfilling HEA with a good beginning and ending. I look forward to reading any books written by Robin Bielman in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Royal Trouble: Texas Trouble Series Book 10 - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Becky McGraw Page; Review: I just love a good romance with a hot cowboy and his totally cute little boy. Wes Jepson had been hurt badly by his ex-wife and wasn't sure if he would be able to love again. His son Trey only wanted a mama that loved him. In walks Leigh Ann Baker. She should walk around with a blinking neon sign that reads "TROUBLE". She's not trouble but it does seem to follow her around. She's exactly the kind of woman Wes doesn't want but can't seem to stay completely away from. This was a fantastic story! I love books that are a little longer in length (over 300 pages) because it allows me to live in it a little longer. This story had lots of love, a ton of anger, crying, laughter, frustration, hope and despair and I think I felt each one of those emotions too. I was so drawn into this story that when someone did something wrong I thought I could reach out and shake them or hug them when they needed it. Thank you Becky McGraw for writing such a fantastic story that I felt so completely immersed in, I felt like I was actually there. I definitely can't wait to read more by this author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Gamble in Gold: A Novella (Flirting to Win Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Natalie Anderson Page; Review: Gamble In Gold is a nice Summer time read. I felt that this romance should have been longer with more detail and background for the characters. It is a good story line that just needs more of the story.

Title: Reforming the Cowboy (South Beach) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Marisa Cleveland Page; Review: Who doesn't love a good looking, sexy cowboy? I did have a hard time with the location of this story being in Florida's South Beach. It just felt like it should have taken place in a town that was a little slower paced but somehow it still worked. Lacey can't believe she's hired her college crush, country star Billy Hardy, to play at the opening of her cafe. Billy's trying to make a come-back from an emotionally tragic, career crushing past. Slowly the two start getting closer and he realizes she's his muse. When the sparks really start flying, Billy's career starts to take off, which takes him away from Lacey. Does Billy want his career back or does he want a life with Lacey? Can they have a long distance relationship? This was a fantastic read! The author developed the characters at the perfect pace. The storyline was steady from beginning to end. This is a "sit outside in the shade and read" kind of book. I can't wait to read more from this wonderful author.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hot Knight in Paradise (Entangled Indulgence) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sofia Harper Page; Review: This is the story of two people running away from the tragedies in their lives. Leah was vacationing on St. Lucia and Marshall was living there. He was walking through the jungle just in time to save Leah from getting shot or worse while getting robbed by her chauffeur. With no I.D., no passport, and no money Leah is reluctantly in need of Marshall's assistance and that's when things start to get interesting. The storyline was good but I felt like I was reading in monotone. There was no excitement. Even when Leah was getting robbed it should have been a pulse pounding moment and it wasn't. I think the author wrote a good story but could have written certain scenes with a little more enthusiasm. One thing I must mention is that the character of Marshall was written perfectly! Amazingly sexy!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Romancing His English Rose (Lady Lancaster Garden Society Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Catherine Hemmerling Page; Review: What an amazing historical mystery romance!

Rose belonged to the Young Ladies' Garden Society, which was a front for ladies that liked to solve mysteries and was run by Lady Lancaster. Lady Lancaster suspects Simon's cousin, Caleb may have had a hand in the death of Caleb's brother, Frederick. So Rose and Simon teamed up to solve this mystery. In the process of solving this mystery, they started to see each other in a different light. Maybe This was a great book! I really thought it was so sweet when Rose was little, instead of calling Simon by his name, she would call him "mine". The story was set up just right from beginning to end. The characters were perfect and developed at a steady pace. This is book #2 in the series Lady Lancaster Garden Society but as I have discovered, can be read as a stand alone. I look forward to reading more from this wonderful author.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

While out looking for a breach Mac and Blake, vampires, run into a group of humans and they begin to help them look for the breach. It's then they meet Kate. Mac instantly starts to fall for Kate but Blake is only going after Kate to anger his sire, Mac, or at least that's how it starts out. Much more happens than what I have already told you, so you must read this book! The storyline is so unique and such a different take on the vampire/human relationship that I was drawn into the story instantly. Character development was good from the beginning. I can't wait to read the next books in this trilogy as I am sure there is much to discover in this broken world they live in. Awesome book Kallysten!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Now, 3 years later, Lachlan wants his grandson back. He sends Jack's former assistant, Grace Owens, to bring him back to Sydney. I truly enjoyed reading this book and had it been longer, it would have been a 5-star read. The chemistry between the characters was amazing. The steamy scenes between Jack and Grace were sizzling! My favorite scene was at Atea Falls. I also felt sorry for Lachlan because even though he's gruff and a bully, he truly loves his grandson. I don't believe he knows any other way to be but he's not too old to change. I love the writing style of Coleen Kwan. This is my first book by this author and I'm very excited to read more.

She decides to take a job as a housekeeper on Paint River Ranch. Cole Haywood, Co-owner of the Paint River Ranch, single father of the cutest 5 year old little girl, Birdie. The story sounds typical but it's far from it. The tragedies Rylan has had to endure coupled with the hurt and betrayal Cole has suffered at the hands of Birdie's mother, make for some hesitant but EXPLOSIVE chemistry between them. They know they shouldn't but can't help themselves, which makes for some sizzling hot cowboy love scenes!!! But wait, can Rylan give Cole more when she can hardly bring herself to interact with Birdie, who means the world to Cole? This is a MUST read! It's not your typical cowboy love story. It's better! Elizabeth Otto has written an amazing book and this reader can't wait to see what this author comes up with next. I love her writing style. The story flows smoothly with no hiccups.

Title: The Coward's Way Out (Ward of the Vampire Serial Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Kallysten Page; Review: In this 4th installment of the Ward of the Vampire Serial, the pieces finally start to fall into place. The motivation behind Delilah's and Irene's actions, faulty as they may be, now make more sense. Angelina has a clearer picture of what's motivating Morgan to behave as he does. Her decisions are meant to help, not hurt Morgan. Will he see it that way? Has Morgan finally convinced Angelina that his way of thinking is the right way? I am anxiously awaiting the next installment of this fabulous serial. I'm hooked!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

I'm also a sucker for a good Christmas romance. Combine the two and it's a 5-star read for me. I love the fact that it's an already married couple fighting to keep it together between deployments. Vic and Nicole Carponti have a beautiful relationship but Vic fears his deployments are taking a toll on his wife. Vic is always the funny one. He's always keeping it light so the mood doesn't get too dark. This deployment feels different to both him and Nicole this time but neither says anything about it.

She's his mate and he must do all he can to protect her from the vampire that's stalking her and the women she protects in the shelter she works at. Read on as Dag and Riley learn how to be together as a couple. They have the hot, steamy, no holds barred sex down to perfection but their relationship dynamics need work. I love a good shifter series and this definitely qualifies. The sex is off the charts! Cajun werewolves have got to be the sexiest shifters out there. I really liked the fact that Dag was all caveman-like but was also willing to learn exactly what Riley wanted. Women could only hope for the kind of man that would bring her her own polka-dotted gift bag. This is book #3 in the Blue Moon Bride series and I can't wait for more!

Owen Savoy was a wealthy investor and was a little OCD about organization and list making, until he came into contact with Remy. He's super sexy and a little naive about every day life because he's always got his nose stuck in the stock market. Remy Maison is a fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants kind of woman. She turned his life upside down in a good way. I loved it! Owen Savoy is the most adorable character I've seen in a while. Remy is her nickname. Just wait until you find out her full name.

Claire's been hurt, badly. Can Jamie get her to give him a chance? It's not often that I really don't like a character in a book. Claire is one of those characters. I know she's been hurt and she has her issues but it was hard for me to get past her and see the story through Jamie's perspective. Besides my dislike of Claire, I did enjoy the story. I think Cora Seton should have made Claire work harder for her man. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Falling for the Backup: An Assassins Novella (The Assassins Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Toni Aleo Page; Review: This novella is about Jordan and Aynslee. This story made me kind of sad because it's about a player that wants to transfer to a different teams but no because he doesn't love playing for the Assassins.

Title: You Promised Me Two Years eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Angela Yseult Page; Review: I was blown away! In the beginning, I thought this was going to be just another YA, coming-of-age story. I was so wrong. I came away feeling like I was just taught a lesson in love and understanding by two 18 year old boys. Outstanding characters in an amazing story line. Even when everything, even time, seemed to be working against Connor and Tyler, they still managed to find forgiveness with each other. It isn't a long story but there is so much story packed into the pages without feeling like it's too much. The story line is a little different, so it takes a minute to adjust to the way things work in their world but you catch on quick. YA is not my preferred genre but I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite books that I have read this year. I can't express enough how much I enjoyed reading this book. Author, Angela Yseult, has an brilliant imagination! I can't wait to see what's next for this fabulous author! I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

He treated her like a possession and she wanted out. She left him a note and took off driving down the coast. Her dog got sick on the drive and she ended up in a little seaside town at a veterinarian's office. Dr. Ben Cooper was his name and he was her dream man. She knew instantly he was her soul mate. Great story! Very well put together. I felt so bad for Hannah because she was so miserable in her marriage. The lesson here is that sometimes you need to hold out for the ONE. Michael was a little whiny but he was in love and his marriage was falling apart. So, I forgive a little of the whining but only a little. The story was moving along smoothly and then BAM!

Stacy was seeing Dustin but when things got serious she balked and pulled the "let's just be friends" card. She started seeing Mark, the DEA agent, until she found out that he was married with children. When she broke up with him he went a little psycho and abusive too. As far as she is concerned, their relationship is over. Dustin steps in to help Stacy through the end of this abusive relationship and they end up together. Mark has other plans for each of them though. Loved it! The relationship between Stacy and Dustin is magical. He's so patient and understanding. He must have learned all that from his father. I love that characters from the first book play a big part of this book too. I laughed and I cried right along with these characters. The first explosive scene with one of her close family members was a tearjerker and massively heartbreaking. I was angry with Stacy's entire family! Don't worry, I'm OK now. This was a fantastic book and I can't wait for Dylan's story to be told. I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Before she can get on the ship, she runs into a friend of her brother. Nathan Ferguson, Lord Blythe, has been asked by Claire's brother, Sebastian, to keep an eye on her as they are traveling on the same ship. That old saying "what can go wrong, will go wrong" is how Claire's adventure is going, which is why Nathan reluctantly decides to be her protector. For two people who never want a serious relationship, let alone marriage, fate might have other plans. This author's writing style grabs you, keeps you entranced, from beginning to end.

It's how they met and their first night together. Casual sex with no strings is how it's supposed to be. How can something so perfect be left to only one night? Maybe it's the fact that they live 3,000 miles away from each other. Amazing prequel novella to Night After Night. Smokin' hot chemistry between Julia and Clay! I love Clay already. He's poetry in motion. I can't wait to see where they decide to take things in the next book of the Seductive Nights Series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Then she met Liam. Great short! Hate the mom! I can't believe she left her alone with Sol, knowing what was going to happen. Love Liam! He's sexy, gorgeous, he can sing, he's patient, and very understanding. I think all Mia needs is someone who believes in her. In show business it's hard to get anyone to be truthful.

Someone into EXTREME adventure. Troy, after losing his last girlfriend to a climbing accident, wants someone calm and safe. Can they fight the sparks flying even though they know they are not what each other wants? This is another great book in the Secret Wishes Series. For me, this is absolutely a clean contemporary romance. There are lots of steamy kisses and sexual tension. There are no actual sex scenes only the implied. It's heartbreaking when you're in love with someone and know that you can never be with them. I love how Robin brings back characters from previous books. The family dynamic is outstanding. I love coming back to this small town. It's like visiting friends I haven't seen in a while. Robin Bielman has a captivating writing style and always keeps this reader coming back for more.

The entire upper half of his body except for his hands and from the neck up. Will he ever trust fully enough to let Kaitlin in? Parker's abusive past is so heartbreaking! It makes you want to crawl into the book and hold him, hold him until he's ok again. Kaitlin is so good for him. Her friend's acceptance of him is good for him. I thought this book was going to be an erotic romance but the story overrode that. It was more about Parker and about Kaitlin's ability to help him heal emotionally. I look forward to reading the other books in the Tryst Island Series. *free copy gifted for honest review **originally reviewed for welovekink(dot)com; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Eden's Fire eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Samantha Holt Page; Review: Eden, a lonely widow, who lives in the forest by herself, prays to the gods for fire. It's Winter and everything is damp and she's freezing. Just as she's about to give up, a spark lit the damp wood in the fire pit. To her surprise, Tyondric, the amazingly gorgeous god of fire, was standing in her cottage and that's when her adventure begins. Fantastic story line! A lot happened cover to cover but for the shorter length of this book, the story flowed smoothly. I would have liked the intimacy to have started earlier and for there to have been more but that's a personal preference and it didn't take away from the story itself. It was very entertaining. I was never bored and there were no unanswered questions. I loved the fact that these were sympathetic gods and were willing to give humanity another chance in the form of this amazing woman. A woman who teaches a god how to love. I am looking forward to reading whatever this amazing author writes next! I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Played; Brand: Visit Amazon's Alexia Adams Page; Review: This is the story of billionaire, William (Liam) Mackenzie Manning and charity event planner, Lorelei Torres.

He needs to do research and he finds he wants to do that with Lorelei Torres. A woman he spotted in a dating website. Will he be able to date her and keep his hands off? Will this sweet young woman with a penchant for honesty and lawful behavior, be his downfall? There was lots of deception, ulterior motives, slightly illegal "cracking", and some totally unexpected interruptions during this story. I completely enjoyed reading this fast and funny romance. I love watching a man fight the fall so hard that he falls even harder. The surprise at the end was BRILLIANT! I would have liked to meet some of Lorelei's family. Her mother was fabulous!

Title: Long For Me: A Secrets & Shadows Story - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Shiloh Walker Page; Review: I read A LOT and I don't think I've ever read a book where the main character has ADHD and dyslexia. I can only imagine what a difficult time Christina Bell had growing up. Her mother was there in the beginning but after she died, Christina had to deal with the fact that no one knew how to help her quite like her mother did. It's no wonder her life has been such a struggle. Thank God for Guy, her best friend. This short story packs such a punch! The ups and downs are extremely emotional. As the mystery has been solved, the end result is surprising. Guy knows what the Bell family wants and does some things that Chris does not approve of to get it. I feel terrible for Chris and Guy. In the end, no one's quite sure how Chris is going to take it. Will she throw away her friendship with Guy or will she finally realize what everyone else already knows? Bravo Shiloh Walker!!! This last novella in a trio of novellas in the Secrets & Shadows series have been nothing short of brilliant. Short stories that are so complete, you almost forget how short they are.

Title: Her Royal Protector (Johari Crown) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Alexandra Sellers Page; Review: 3.5 Star Review Aly Percy is one of those characters that a whole series could be written around. She's funny, quirky, sometimes sad, troubled, clumsy, and dedicated to her cause of saving the Johari turtles. You can't help but to root for her throughout the entire book. She deserves love but doesn't believe she is worthy of any man, let alone Sheikh Arif. He's the perfect dark, brooding, alpha sheikh. He's the Sultan's Cup Companion. A trusted advisor responsible for the environmental issues of Bagestan. Is he really falling for the plain, small chested, unworthy Aly Percy? Or is he using her to get information? Most of the book was immersed in the turtle study. As romance bloomed between the main characters, the turtle issue faded away and I would have liked a more clear end to that aspect of the story line. This was an enjoyable light afternoon read with wonderful characters. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

This is the second book in the Lucky Thirteen series. I'm addicted! In my opinion certain things in this book are easier to understand if you have read book one. This book takes off where book one left off. S.M. Butler knows how to write a Navy SEAL! Sizzlng chemistry between Murphy and Addison.

Title: Waiting For Me (Beautiful Surrender, Part Two) (A Billionaire Romance) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ava Claire Page; Review: Billionaire/Dom Logan Mason has found the one woman he wants to keep in his life. With the "no strings attached" lifestyle, Logan realizes that he wants strings with Melissa Foster. She doesn't want to admit it but she's submissive and it'll take trust to bring it out. With actress Delilah James, Logan's ex-lover, having a hard time letting him go, will Melissa stick around? I'm not so sure after the surprise Delilah has for Logan. Logan is fantasy inspiring! It's nice to see the sexy alpha man go a little wonky over a woman because she's unlike all the rest. I'm usually not into reading e-serials because I prefer to read it all at once in a book format, but this one has caught my attention and I must complete the series to see what happens with Logan, Melissa, and Delilah.

Title: Fight For Me: Hot MMA Fighters (Invitation to Eden series Book 5) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sharon Page Page; Review: There was something in Ryder King's past that he couldn't share with his wife Tessa. This thing made him violent at times but never towards Tessa or their son Jakey. The unexplained violence was a deal breaker for her and though she loved him, they separated. A year later and she's now dating Ryder's best friend Xavier. Ryder wants her back and lets her know it. How can she possibly choose between these two, very different, sexy men. Ryder, MMA fighter, loves kinky sex, who she's still in love with and the father to her son. Xavier, ex-MMA fighter, billionaire, treats her like a queen, who she could very easily fall in love with and great in bed. One day an invitation arrives for her. A one week vacation to Eden. When she gets to the island she realizes the vacation is from Ryder, who wants her back but Xavier is also on the island and is willing to fight for her as well. Let the competition begin!!! Great story! Being loved by two gorgeous, sexy men, at the same time, is fantasy inspiring. I thought that for being a grown woman with a child to consider, Tessa was way to swayed by her libido. It was irritating at times but what really sucked me in was the HUGE plot twist! I gasped, out loud, and my heart sped up! It was unexpected and just made the story complete in a strange way. *free copy gifted for honest review **originally reviewed for welovekink(dot)com; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Melting Into You: A Small Town Romance (Stewart Island Series Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tracey Alvarez Page; Review: This is Ben and Kezia's story.

As much as they fight their feelings for each other, fate has other plans for them and so do their matchmaking daughters.

All that delicious testosterone flowing through the pages and this particular SEAL just happens to also be a cowboy. A very alpha male, brooding, SEAL, cowboy. Be still my heart! Does it get any better than this? I love that April is no sniveling bimbo. She's strong and doesn't take this man's BS for long. She's also not afraid to be vulnerable in the bedroom. What will it take to bring this SEAL to his knees? Great story Desiree Holt!

Title: Demon World eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Angela Yseult Page; Review: There were so many fantastic things happening in this book. Demons have opened portals to earth. Vampires sign up to fight them and keep them from taking over the world. Camps were built close to the portals and that's where vampires lived. Mages kept the portals contained so that the demons couldn't escape while fighting vampires. The world thought this agreement with the vampires worked very well. Vampires signed up to fight for a certain amount of time and were supposed to be discharged from service when that time was up but that was not how it was happening. Vincent, with a mage for a mother, a vampire for a father, was born of magic. His parents met in one of the earlier mentioned camps. When she discovered that the vampires were being mistreated, she snuck Michael and Lucas out. His mother died in child birth and he was raised by his two vampire dads, Michael and Lucas. They lived in secrecy ever since. What happens when the secret is no longer a secret? The story line was genius! It grabbed me in the beginning and didn't let go until the last page and still I wanted more. A different and refreshing twist on vampires. Outstanding YA Paranormal! I am definitely a fan of Angela Yseult! I am not normally a YA reader but this author has such an amazing way with words, that I forget that it's YA. I can't wait to see what's next.

He moved away, got his PhD, became famous in the field of agricultural science, made millions and swore to NEVER return to Sapphire Falls again.

Adrianne loves her little town and swears to never leave it's peaceful, no stress way of life. Mason's work takes him around the world. How will they ever have their happily ever after? I love the fact that Adrianne is so intelligent and confident. She's been there, done that, and has the scars to prove it! She may be confident but she's also terrified of her health issues. Mason Riley has to be the sexiest nerd EVER! The pen-on-skin note taking was genius and in the ranking with the refrigerator scene in 9-1/2 Weeks! Erin Nicholas knows how to write a sizzling sex scene and keep it tasteful at the same time. Their chemistry is sizzling and let me just say that a man does not have to be six foot something and bulging muscles to be a tiger in bed. This is an amazing new series set in small town Nebraska.

Only this time Cass has a baby girl that's just about the right age to make Logan think about their one night together. Should she tell him he has a daugthter? Does she want a bartender to be Olivia's father? The web of secrets and lies is woven so tight that you have to wonder if they'll survive it. That old saying, "don't judge a book by it's cover" is completely appropriate for this story. Logan is so far from being what Cass thinks he is but he can't tell her. His job depends on secrecy.

He sailed to India on business and she started hearing rumors of his marriage to another. She never spoke to him again, until now. Eight years later he's back, a widower with 2 children and no willing explanation as to why he married another. Along with his two little girls, he's also brought danger trailing behind him. The choices Alexander made were terrible and it's awful how he messed up Henrietta's life. After all is said and done, his reasons were still not good enough for me. I felt bad for Henrietta but she did handle all of it quite well. Henrietta was strong at a time when options for single women were few. I also loved the fact that she couldn't keep from using language that just wasn't appropriate for women in those times. This story had mystery, intrigue, family issues, strong women, love, and lots of tough choices. I loved every minute of it! I can't wait to read the next book, What a Lady Demands.

Will Sophie agree to accompany Zane to a few public appearances in exchange for getting more business for her company? Great story with fabulous characters! Bryce, Danny, and Honor were fantastic secondary characters. Sophie is full of surprises. Zane had no clue what he would awaken inside little Ms. Wholesome Montana. I loved her character growth throughout the story. The issues Zane had were a little more difficult to navigate.

Title: Her Special Forces - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sophia Roslyn Page; Review: I love a good military romance! Especially one with a cocky, sexy Navy SEAL. Even better when it has a kick-ass heroine and she's a U.S.M.C. Super Viper attack helicopter pilot. Nathan and Kacey were all each other needed at one point. Then circumstances sent them in different directions. Nathan left on assignment and Kacey went home. Now they're both out of the military and he's come to her little town to claim the woman he loves. He's also there to help her try and deal with her PTSD. He doesn't realize that when you have PTSD, not all your thoughts are rational and you can't be coerced into getting help. She'll have to come to that realization all on her own. This is a fantastic military romance that deals with the issue of PTSD. There is much more happening in this story, so you'll have to read it to find out what happens to the U.S. Senator's daughter who's been kidnapped. There are moments where all you can do is "gasp" at the story you're reading. It's an awesome read! I look forward to reading more from this amazing author.

Old man Ward owes money to the MC, so Jaeger goes to the farm to collect, only to find out that old man Ward is dead and his son, Dillon, is actually his daughter and Jaeger wants her and the farm. The only problem is that Dillan, just call me Phoenix or Nix for short, doesn't know that her father put up the farm as collateral, to several different people, for his gambling debts. She also doesn't know that he sold her too but not to Jaeger. Though she doesn't believe it at the moment, all Jaeger wants is to protect her. This story had many LOL moments and some eye popping moments too. While not politically correct at all, this book is about a rough and tough MC with a president that has no verbal filter. Everything that comes out of his mouth is rude and crude and Nix doesn't like it. Well, mentally she doesn't like it but physically she's never been more turned on. All these guys are in biker gangs and they talk like it too. At the beginning I didn't think I was going to like it but I was so wrong. I loved it!!!

She goes to her manager's rental property in Boston but finds there are crazed fans everywhere. Her brooding, beautiful, mysterious neighbor, Chayot Gray, owns a security company and she hires him. The only problem is, who will protect her heart from him? I love the spunk in Aslyn. She says what's on her mind without apology most of the time. My favorite part was when she said "Holy freaking God! That man is gorgeous!" She thought she said it in her mind but no, she said it out loud in front of police officers and Chayot himself. Too funny! Chayot Gray, our pain-filled hero, just makes you want to put your arms around him and hold on for a very, very long time. My favorite moments with Chay were when he would almost crack a smile and especially when Aslyn would make him laugh. For someone that never finds a chance to find humor in life anymore, that is a huge deal. If I could give this book more than 5 Stars, I would. This series is a MUST read! Naima Simone is an amazing author. As soon as I started reading this book (and the others in this series) I immediately felt like I was watching it as a movie. I love it when that happens!

While deployed, Sawyer is listed as K.I.A. Is it really easier to try and forget someone or deal with the pain of losing them? Can you forget so completely someone you cared for so deeply? Great story! Sawyer Keeton is major book boyfriend material. He knows what he wants and goes after it. Eva's humor is a little dry for me but with her and Sawyer together, it works. I can't imagine going through something as traumatic as Sawyer and Eva did. It brought tears to my eyes. At the end of this book is Forgive You, a Coldcreek short story and it is what brought the entire story full circle for me. Without giving anything away, it's VERY important and it is a MUST read.

Laz Stone, also a member of the band, calls Syd to arrange food for the bachelor party and as soon as they hear each others voices, the fantasies start rolling. When they finally meet in person, he's drunk and she helps him to bed without having sex with him and they get along from there. A casual fling is sometimes a good thing...right? At least until the feelings stop being casual. Can Syd live with Laz and his rock star life style? Great characters! I love the rags to riches story of the female characters. They guys in the band are NOT the stereotypical flaky, drug and alcohol abusers. The story has great flow and is an all around feel good romance. I loved it!

Title: Hard to Hold (Black Ops Heroes Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Incy Black Page; Review: I'm so sad that it's over. I wanted to stay in the world of Anna, Nick, and the Service a while longer. Nick is one of a kind. He's a grade A jerk and he did it all in the name of protecting Anna. His attitude is extremely harsh but he was trying to escape a violent past that he didn't want to touch her. They divorced. Five years later, she ends up in the hospital and they call Nick because he's her "in case of emergency" call person, which she forgot to change. Someone is trying to kill her and at the same time, someone is sending her gifts. Oh yeah, she's also pregnant by AID, Artificial Insemination by Donor. He never wanted children and she did. Donors are supposed to be anonymous, right? Wait until they find out who the father of her unborn child is! Fantastic story! I loved the constant pull between Nick and Anna. They still love each other but know they should not be together. His constant fight to keep her at arms length to protect her from himself. I just want to shake him and so does Anna. She loves him and all he does is get close and then push her away. Frustrating!!! Great story line. The best constant between book one and two is Will. He's great! I hope his story is going to be written. Incy Black has another 5-Star review written by this very satisfied reader. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Jack had some rules that he must follow: No sleeping with employees, no relationships...ever, and no sleeping with a woman more than once. Eventually he broke all of his own rules with Cassie but with a few misunderstood text messages, he threw it all away. Jenny Holiday writes an amazing bazillionaire! I really love the fact that Jack wasn't the typical playboy billionaire and Cassie was a normal working girl and student. As stuffy as Jack seemed at first, when it came to playing in the bedroom, he was a master! Phew!!! Cassie is a lucky, lucky girl. This story is well written with strong characters.

YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! Audrey Hampton lived with knowing her father never had ANY time for her or her mother. He was career military until an accident caused him to retire early. Her mother always blamed Audrey for ruining her life. She always told her that all men will do is break your heart. Audrey no longer believed in love because there was no love for her, no happily ever after either. Can Audrey get beyond a lifetime of her mother's tough love to allow herself to love and be loved? From the moment Blake Johnson saw her, he was hooked. His brothers told him she was very closed off but he needed to earn her trust and get to know her. Will he have enough patience and persistence to break down her walls? If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend this wonderful love story! It's a true down to your soul, non-sappy romance with strong characters. I literally had to take a break from reading because I started to cry...hard. There were happy parts and sad-happy parts. There was a feeling of satisfaction after reading the last page. Blake Johnson has my vote for book boyfriend of the year. The man has the patience of a saint. All I'll say about Audrey is that she's damn lucky to have a man like Blake. Alicia Rae, you are amazing!

Title: Ready To Burn: A Small Town Romance (Stewart Island Series Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tracey Alvarez Page; Review: In this third book of the Due South series, we have the story of Del Westlake and Shaye Harland. Del is a chef in the U.S. and his mother asks him to return to New Zealand to help is ailing father, Bill, at his restaurant called Due South. Shaye is Bill's sous chef and assumed that one day she'd take over as head chef. You can imagine her shock and anger when she sees Bill's son Del arrive on the island and she's told Del will take over, temporarily, as head chef. She was angry when Del moved to the U.S. with his mother when she was 10 years old. She doesn't want to like Del but the sparks fly when they look at each other. Del doesn't want any ties because life for him is complicated enough right now but he just can't resist her. Shaye has a check list of traits her perfect man will have. Does Del measure up? What happens when they have to work together every day? I've only given you a glimpse of what's going on in this story. Del, faults and all, ends up being an amazing man.

Title: Someday Maybe (Definitely Maybe series Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ophelia London Page; Review: Oliver and Rachel had an eight month relationship during freshman year in college. How was she to balance an all-consuming relationship and an 18 credit semester? She couldn't and her grades started to decline. She couldn't risk losing her scholarship so she decided to break up with Oliver and gave him no real answer as to why she was breaking the heart of the boy she loved so much. Now, it's seven years later and they meet again but this time he's dating her best friend. This was a nice, easy flowing romance that had me rooting for Oliver and Rachel but not really convinced that they were going to find their way into each other's arms. As soon as I thought "YES, they're finally going to get back together" something would happen to ruin the moment. The dreams were a nice touch. Trying to figure out what they meant was challenging. I'm definitely interested in finding out which other characters in this book might find their HEA in their own books. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

She needed to collect her inheritance from her grandma and have the stuff shipped to Paris where she lives. Going home meant having to face the father that she was never good enough for and the memory of her mother that always treated her bad. She will also see her brother and his best friend, Mitch. She's had a major crush on Mitch since she was a child but she thought he never noticed. He did. Will their first encounter bring to life more than pleasure? How will Mitch keep her from going back to Paris? I think Emily was judged too harshly by everyone. I didn't like that through most of the book, even Mitch, who she'd been intimate with, couldn't even believe that she'd changed. It was great seeing the woman as the adventurous one and the man as the straight laced, cautious one. Amazing cover!!! Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Honey Girl: BILLIONAIRE Book 2 (BILLIONAIRE Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Juliette Jones Page; Review: 4.5 stars This is the continued story of Lila and Alexander. Their relationship has been on the fast track. Love at first sight for them both. She has started working for him at this point and they are planning their perfect rushed wedding because he wants Jake as his best man but they don't know yet if Jake will have to do jail time or not. Things may seem perfect but everyone knows that someone always comes along and messes thing up for everyone!!! Their love for one another is obsessive but beautiful at the same time. There was more story line to this book than the first book. Don't get me wrong, Juliette Jones still makes us sweat with her amazing ability to write scorching sex scenes but they were not excessive in this book. I wanted to strangle you-know-who! Of course she has perfect timing. Lila is young and a little naive. Letting another man hold your hand, knowing how possessive your boyfriend is, is not the best idea but maybe she'll learn. The trust issues they both were working on were intense. I think he's learning too. I love how Juliette Jones writes an ending. Brilliant! As I'm finishing the last page, I'm completely satisfied. I have closure to the specific issues in this story. I love that! I can't wait for book three, Jake's story. *free copy gifted for honest review **originally reviewed for welovekink(dot)com; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Alex's grandmother owns the building and told him he could stay in the upstairs apartment without knowing that Brooke was secretly living there to save money. Imagine Brooke's surprise when she saw her high school crush standing in her shop looking better than he did way back when. She's been through an emotional and a potentially physically abusive relationship with an ex and she's ready to move on. Who better than an old high school crush, ex-Army Ranger, gorgeous and sexy Alex Coleman. I love Christmas romances. The attraction between them is instant and explosive. Leave it to the over protective brother to throw cold water over them by forbidding Alex to date his sister but that didn't last long. This is an sexy, sweet but HOT Christmas romance that was full of flirtation, misunderstandings, love, and righting wrongs of the past. It was also about family. The family that sticks by you through anything and the family that doesn't. I love the smooth writing style of Nicole Michaels and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.

Title: Serendipity (Inevitable Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Janet Nissenson Page; Review: 4.5 Star Review A few chance meetings between Nathan Atwood and Julia McKinnon, in Manhattan, brought on a night they would NEVER forget but when morning came, reality rushed in. Too much alcohol and the most beautiful woman on earth makes Nathan forget he has a fiance back home in San Francisco. A few months later, one last chance meeting, and without her knowledge, Julia starts working at a company that Nate is a partner at. When you've made promises to one but you want another, which path do you choose? Very good story with great characters! I love how Julia started dating and Nate was going crazy over it. He's a very intense jealous man. Julia was amazing. She's beautiful with a body made for sin but in no way slutty. She was very classy. Even though this was another story line where everyone was rich, these families were very down to earth and not flashy with their finances. I could envision the story taking place like a movie in my head as I was reading. I truly enjoyed reading this book. I can't wait to read more from this talented author. *free copy gifted for honest review **originally reviewed for welovekink(dot)com; Rating: 5.0/5.0

She stayed close to his twin brother Malcolm and over the last year, they spoke less and less about Marcus during their weekly phone calls. One day Kylie received an invitation to the island of Eden and it was signed, The one who's always loved you. Naturally, Kylie assumed it was Marcus. I love the Invitation to Eden series. The reader can always count on that "feel good" feeling at the end of the book. Elena Aitken did not disappoint. One thing you must remember about Eden is that the island always knows what you want and need, even if you have yet to realize it. Kylie and Malcolm's story was very sweet and romantic.

With old hurts rehashed and put away, Annabelle and Jackson embark on an adventure together that will make him seem more settled and her seem a little less conservative but what actually happens surprises EVERYONE! There's a warning at the beginning of the book. Take my advise and heed this warning. The sizzle factor in this book is off-the-charts! Jackson has done a lot of good to make up for the bad choices he made as a youth. Annabelle is a good girl with an inner bad girl just waiting for the right man to bring it out. I love Annabelle's strong character. She makes no apology for living by a strong set of morals. These two set the sheets on fire! Jackson is one sexy dirty talker and I have a new appreciation for muscle cars. This is a MUST read for those looking for that hotter than sin, small Texas town romance.

Going home because his old high school football coach had a heart attack and needs help on his farm, Wade decides it's time to let Charlene know exactly how he feels about her. Another fantastic book in the Boys of Fall series! The depths of sexiness in Wade Bennett caught me by surprise. WOW! He is smokin' hot and I'm not talking only about his looks. His attitude, his dirty mind and mouth and his bedroom prowess. All of it together makes Charlene one lucky lady. I think Charlene's strong, sexy personality surprised me too. They are quite the match if they can ever tell each other how they truly feel and stop making assumptions. I can't wait to read more from this author and this series. Bravo!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Alex went to rescue him in the cave and the smugglers caused a cave-in at the entrance. They were stuck. Nathan was injured and that's where the real adventure begins. Fantastic story line. When Nathan and Alex let their attraction rise to the surface, they were explosive and romantic. Any other time mostly Alex but sometimes Nathan, was irritating and stubborn. Alex acted like she couldn't stand to be around him. The concept of the story was great but Alex's behavior did not improve the story line at all. I was really drawn in by the story of Ixchel's daughter and the son of Chac, which ended too abruptly. All in all it was an entertaining read and I will continue to look forward to reading books by this amazing author. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

They would marry, he would continue living as he is now and she would go and live at the property that is part of her dowry and raise her dogs. Now all she has to do is convince him of that. I absolutely loved it! A fantastic story that kept my attention from start to end. Juliet is an independent, smart, witty, spitfire, who impresses me with her aspiration to breed dogs in a man's world. In 1818 England, women did not do this sort of thing.

Title: Almost in Love (Clover Park STUDS, Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Kylie Gilmore Page; Review: The first 3 chapters read like a comedy. By the fourth chapter the real romance started to blossom. I really felt sorry for Barry. He wasn't bad looking, he had a killer body but his geekiness showed like a beacon in the night. He had no idea how to date and I'm surprised Amber even gave him a second chance. I guess opposites attract. Barry never gave up. I think it was his brother that saved him. Remember the three C's? For some there is that instant attraction and for others it starts as a friendship and grows from there. That was the case for Amber. Her and Barry were friends and her attraction grew from that and his 6-pack abs and 2-pack butt. All in all this was a fun and entertaining read.

I know Landon was throwing hints out there about wanting more but he should know to be more straightforward and making comments like "...as soon as a woman starts to demand more than I can give, I walk away" certainly didn't help. Also, what was Rachel thinking? Agreeing to meet Jack for drinks while driving in the car with the man she's currently dating exclusively! Friends or not, Jack is an ex in Landon's mind. I think he had every right to freak out a little bit. And was goodbye for the night or for good? I can't wait for the next book to come out to get an answer to my question! This is my first book by Serena Grey and she's definitely got my attention. [...]; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Know When to Hold Him - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lindsay Emory Page; Review: Fantastic story! Spencer cleans up public relations disasters for paying customers and Liam is a sports agent, which kind of does the same thing. Great story line that kept my attention the entire time. Amazing sexual tension and chemistry between Spencer and Liam. There were misunderstandings and hurt feelings between them. Spencer was trying no to hurt the man she came to care for, even if he is the opposition and Liam tries to figure out a way to ask for forgiveness from the woman he loves. Neither is an easy thing to do when pride gets in the way. There was never a dull moment in this book. I love reading about strong female characters. They give the male characters a run for their money! This is definitely an author to keep an eye on. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kissed at Midnight - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Samantha Holt Page; Review: Ivy Davis' parents wanted her to marry. She didn't want to be married to some stuffy old man, so she left home in search of her dream. She wanted to be a singer but she also had to support herself. She was going to apply to be a governess but accidentally knocked at the wrong door. August Avery needed a nursemaid for his cousin's daughter he was raising. After opening the door and speaking with Ivy, he offered her a job on the spot and even though she knew nothing about being a nursemaid to a baby, she accepted. When you spend a lot of time with someone, feelings can sometimes change into something deeper. What about her singing career? This story really pulled at my heartstrings. Ivy has tremendous ambition but like a lot of mothers nowadays, choices sometimes have to be made between family and career. I was also impressed with August and how he stepped up to take custody of his deceased cousin's infant daughter. Not many single men, especially back in those days, would have taken on the task. The chemistry between Ivy and August was very well written and built at a steady pace. It's often the end of a book that makes it or breaks it and this book had an ending that was so thoroughly complete, it makes me want to read it again. Bravo!

Wolf had broken Abby's heart six years ago in high school and after letting her down by doing it again, he'll have to come up with an outrageously romantic grand gesture to ask her for another chance. Will Abby give Wolf a second chance or will that be one too many? Love cowboys and horse whisperers are pretty amazing. This is a heartbreaking, sweet romance with beautiful horses and sexy cowboys. Who doesn't love a groveling cowboy? I really like how there were problems that real families go through and as the children become of age, they are forced to help out financially too.

Will one night be enough to get each other out of their systems? Will Kade's mother, who's never liked Avery, push her so far that she leaves Kade for good? This is a fun, romantic, steamy, "best friends brother" story line and I loved it! Kade is amazingly sexy and he lives life on his own terms. Avery has been through some rough times and has always come out on top and is very successful in her business. Everything would be great if it weren't for his mother, Corrine. I don't understand how her children could still invite her to their gatherings when every time she opened her mouth the words were mean, cruel and poisonous. Oh well, I guess we all have villains in our families. Looking forward to reading more from this talented author. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Can these two get it together and start communicating outside the bedroom? These two are setting the sheets on fire and the couch and the counter and so on. I'll never look at ranch dressing the same or broccoli for that matter. The one thing they lack is communication. Thank God for Tucker Bennett. He's got a way of putting the truth out there. Sexy man! This is another fantastic and sexy story from that amazing series called Sapphire Falls. I can't wait for my next visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Scoring His Heart (Texas Highlanders Ice Hockey Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Suzan Butler Page; Review: 4.5 Stars Zoe Logan, 19, works at her dad's bar and goes to college. She's always had the hots for hockey player Gavin Ferrara. One night she walks in o him and his best friend Misha, also a hockey player, in her dad's office. They were kissing. She thought Gavin liked her, not his best friend. Seeing them kissing was kind of sexy and she envied their passion. Four months later she never would have thought that one of them would ask her out. This is a sexy sports romance. Misha and Gavin are off the charts HOT! I thought that maybe the story would turn out different with the way Gavin pursued Zoe, but I was pleasantly surprised with the final direction. There is a sadness in Misha that makes you want to hold him until he feels wanted. Zoe was a little bit of a surprise. She was supposed to be a virgin but certainly didn't behave like one. The story line regarding Zoe's mother kind of felt like a filler. It happened and was over so quick. Regardless, this is a great sports romance and I can't wait to read more of the Texas Highlanders Ice Hockey series. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

After getting to know each other better, things start to become clear for Todd. Maybe all he's strived for is not really what's been missing in his life. I was so involved in this book and when it ended I was SHOCKED! I felt like everything I had read so far was like reading a prologue and when it was time for the story to begin...it was over.

One day while tossing insults at each other, they ended up in her pantry, during a party at her house. It was the BEST SEX EVER for both of them! Now she's being sued and Cal has reluctantly agreed to represent her with the specific agreement that they cannot sleep together while he is her attorney. How will they ever keep their hands off each other? This is a funny and very sexy story. The more I learn about Macy, the more I see the reasons she acts the way she does. I just want to give her a hug. Cal? He's very sexy and yes, sometimes he has me thinking "he's such a girl" because his thoughts are often those that a woman would think. He's very sensitive that way. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Billionaire's Caress (Never Never Man Series Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sloan Storm Page; Review: 3.5 Stars First let me say...AWESOME COVER!!! I always thought Maddie was a strong. She's untrained and floundering but strong at the same time. She's an an actress at heart. She started this business with no sense for business. Grey has been a HUGE financial asset but she's letting him call ALL the shots! He's making all the decisions. As mad as she is that he's taking over, she still bows down to his every whim. She puts up a good argument when she's alone but as soon as she sees him, all arguments are forgotten. She's not at all who I thought she was and he's so much more than I thought he was and neither in a good way. I get that he's trying to help her succeed but his methods need polishing. He runs roughshod over everyone! Also, I fail to see the intimacy in their relationship. Sure, they have smokin' hot sex and that's all it's supposed to be but there's a budding emotional connection that I'm having a hard time with. I see it happening but I'm not feeling it. For me as a reader, feeling it is very important! This is the second book in the Never Never Man series and I am deeply invested in the outcome of this story. I need to find out what happens. Does she succeed in her business and/or her relationship with Grey? Stay tuned for book three. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Loving Maddie from A to Z - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Kelly Jamieson Page; Review: When I first started reading this book, I thought there was a little too much filler story in the beginning. It started kind of slow and then...BAM! The story took off and I couldn't put it down. Bravo Kelly Jamieson for writing the totally amazing story of three best friends, Aiden, Maddie and Zack. This is their journey through life together and apart. It's tragic in a way that deals with violent issues in today's world. It's beautiful, full of love, acceptance and extremely sexy. There is definitely a feeling of completion when it's over. It's the kind of book that when you finished the last page, you just sigh with a slight smile on your face.

She fainted into the arms of Gage McAllister, foreman at the Tall Pines Ranch. A year later and she's still skittish and struggling with her attraction to Gage. Will a one night stand turn into more? Who will be there when her past catches up to her? Such a heartbreaking story for two such wonderful people who deserve happiness. Being an angry teenager totally affected Gage's entire life. It's a good thing we sometimes get second chances. For Meredith, growing up and having your spirit crushed, makes for quite a miserable person. It's a good thing she has her sister, Melanie, to turn to. I love seeing someone who's been broken down, come back even stronger to face their bullies. This is a tragic and beautiful love story that includes a very SEXY cowboy or two! A great addition to the Tall Pines Ranch series. Victoria James has proven once again that she knows what she's doing when it comes to writing about those sexy irresistable cowboys! Gage McAllister is definitely book boyfriend material.

She suffered a tragedy that put her on anti-depressants, which she stopped taking. Jessica Elliott is going to school to be a physical therapist, which is where she meets college basketball star Adam Carson. He's in physical therapy with a knee injury. The more time they spend together, the closer they become. So close, that she's just waiting for the other shoe to drop. She's waiting for him to leave because they always do. Will Adam stick around for this roller coaster ride with Jess? I loved it! Great character depth. The author told us everything we need to know without excessive filler story. My heart was breaking for Jess, Adam and Bryan, each for their own reasons. Zoe is everything you'd want in a best friend.

Title: Grind: Cal and Macy's Story Book 2 (Legal Affairs 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sawyer Bennett Page; Review: Although Cal is totally sexy, with a rockin' body, he knows what he wants in bed and out of it, but he's just not as "alpha" as I expect him to be. He needs to be a little bit...more. His relationship with Macy is sex only and he wants more. He wants a monogamous dating relationship. Being monogamous is pushing it for Macy. Her life is full of one night stands only. She can do monogamous but she doesn't date. Her issues make her think she doesn't deserve or isn't worthy of that kind of relationship but the closer she gets with Cal, the more she wants to give it a try. Awesome cliffhanger ending! I'm waiting on pins and needles to find out exactly what is in Macy's past that has affected her entire life so harshly.

Title: Billionaire's Kiss (Never Never Man Series Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sloan Storm Page; Review: 3.5 Stars Maddie is falling for him in her own special, fickle way. To Grey, she's just a woman he's in business with and he happens to be sleeping with her because he's not interested in anyone else right now. She's very lost and acts like a child sometimes. She wants her business and the money and contacts he provides but gets upset when he takes over because she's taken off on another audition or something. She wants to be an actress but again he's always there, sometimes closing down the movie or other times he's running the entire show as the director. As much as she's always running from him, she always goes back for more and for the life of me, I can't figure out why! After the cliffhanger in this episode, they may never be rid of one another! I'm hoping for much more substance in the coming episodes. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

As he walked out of the police department, he was approached by Josh Marron of TRAIT and offered a job. Now he's a new recruit at TRAIT and partnered with Jodi Israel. She lost her last partner, Nolan, because he refused to listen to her and wait for back up. Jody soon realizes that Finn seems to have that same attitude that Nolan had. There is one huge problem...she can't keep her eyes off the sexy recruit and the feelings are definitely mutual. I love the relationship these two have. It's that kind of relationship that says "I'm attracted to you but I hate you at the same time." As expected, the sex between these two is off-the-charts! They make a good team in bed and out of it. Also, Izzy was quite a surprise. She gave the story that perfect little twist. This is book 3 in the Agents of TRAIT series and it's my first book by Seleste deLaney. It won't be my last!

Lizbeth Sanders has never found anyone who could compare to Logan and she has tried. Now, 15 years later, he's divorcing his wife and his brother tells him he's found his lost love, Lizbeth. Could it be that easy? Will she still want him after all these years? Will his soon-to-be ex-wife try to cause any trouble? I love this book! The story has the potential to be drug out so much longer but the author expertly stayed on point with the storyline. 15 years is a long time to be pining away for the love of your life. The emotions Lizbeth was feeling when she first saw Logan, I felt them too! I was so excited and happy for them both but it takes a strong person to deal with an ex and their children. Awesome second chance Romance! This is my first book by Alannah Lynne and I am definitely a fan. The books in the Heat Wave series can all be read as stand alones.

Now they're in Paris, rescuing Brittany and it's more dangerous than Jacob originally thought. I still can't believe they helped Cole! Especially because it was Brittany who is actually in trouble. She's so ungrateful, immature and smart mouthed that it's like talking to a teenager with an attitude problem. The tattoo? SHOCKER!!! I can't wait to see where that goes. I love watching the love still burning hot and strong between Jacob and Leila. Awesome series! I can't wait for part number four. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Even though he thought he couldn't stay forever because he's a photojournalist and traveling the world is what he does, this woman and her child made him long for things he never thought he wanted. This was an emotional read with a woman who is afraid to live again, a little boy looking for someone to look up to and a man who believes he can never settle down in one place.

He doesn't need the money but his mother and the rest of the family moochers definitely need it to survive. Watching Grey with his grandpa was the most human and down-to-earth I've ever seen him. At that point I still had hope for him. All I see is a man that's not ready to be with one woman forever and not ready for children either. After Kate calls Grey to tell him that Maddie is in the hospital, it's all Kate can do to get Grey to go to the hospital to see Maddie. And Maddie, well she's not doing so well and neither is the baby. In Maddie I see a woman so completely obsessed with the aforementioned man that she endangers herself and her child. She's gone mental, to the point of not caring about anything! This cliffhanger is driving me CRAZY!!! I'm waiting, not so patiently, to read book number five.

This is the story of Viola Thompson and Julian Cynfell. I'm sure an American woman in England, during that era, was quite a shocker. Especially when the American woman puts on a pair of pants. Ha! Viola was just being herself and she did it with American flair and without apology. She's such a strong woman and exactly what Julian needs. This is such an amazing Romance. I'm still feeling the love. The epilogue is probably the most heartfelt, beautiful thing I've read in a very, very long time. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shatter Me - Kindle edition; Brand: Tori St. Claire; Review: Drew and Reagan were married and Alex was Drew's best friend. Little did Alex know that every time Reagan glanced at him a little too long, Drew beat her for it and for other reasons as well. No one would believe that their deceased hometown hero, who earned a Purple Heart for saving Alex's life, beat his wife. Alex wouldn't believe it. When things get heated between Alex and Reagan, will the guilt Alex feels for sleeping with his deceased best friends wife, put a stop to their ultra steamy affair? What a fantastic story. Super sexy Alex McCray is one hot Marine. His sense of honor is admirable and I love the reminder he gave Don and his friends about death before dishonor. I am definitely a fan of Tori St. Clair and her amazing writing style. I can't wait to read more from her. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sinful Deeds (Cynfell Brothers Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Samantha Holt Page; Review: Josephine, a widow, was Dante Cynfell's mistress for four years, until she grew tired of the late-night visits when he promised to arrive earlier and the drunken behavior. The little remarks she heard from other women about being his mistress bothered her too. They loved each other immensely but because of his parents, he was terrified of marriage and vowed to never marry. Will Josephine ever change Dante's mind about making her his wife? Fabulous book! Well written without a dull moment from cover to cover. They have a beautiful relationship. She only wants to be a wife and no longer wishes to carry the silent stigma of being a mistress. Her character is so strong. It was wonderful watching her stand up for herself and blossom into the artist she was meant to be. The story briefly but crucially touches on the very sensitive subject of postpartum depression during a time when they didn't know what it really was. There's a point in the story when everything falls into place and you know this is exactly why things happened the way they did. It's heartbreaking.

Title: Billionaire's Trust (Never Never Man Series Book 5) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sloan Storm Page; Review: 4.5 Stars Another crisis averted...for the moment. It seems Grey's and Maddie's lives are jampacked with constant drama and this last book is no exception. In this final book of the Never Never Man series, both characters have grown. Grey seems a little more flexible and Maddie seems much more mature. They have lived through so much in such a short amount of time. I've hated and loved each of them many times over. Some things I will never understand. Some books in this series I've liked more than others but when it all comes down to the last word, I couldn't stop reading. I was hooked! Thank you Sloan Storm for this incredible roller coaster ride. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Boxed Set: The Beautiful Surrender Series Complete Collection - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ava Claire Page; Review: This is Melissa's and Logan's story. Her initial sighting of Logan was in the private outdoor shower of the cottage she was renting... "this man was over 6 feet of tight golden muscle...lust pooling in my panties... If his backside was this delicious, I could only imagine how-" And that was only on chapter 2. Phew! This is going to be a scorcher. This is a beautifully written love story with some tragedies mixed in. Logan is damaged from life with his biological mother but healed a little from the love of Rose, his amazing foster mother. He and Melissa travel some rocky roads. In the bedroom it's always smooth sailing with plenty of sizzling HOT sex. Melissa acknowledges his damaged soul and is always there to soothe the savage beast. I really had my doubts as to whether she would return after the few times she left him. And Delilah, well you're just going to have to read what that poor excuse for a woman does to Logan. The emotions are real and strong and I loved every moment spent in the Beautiful Surrender series.

Title: At His Service: Part 1 - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Suzanne Rock Page; Review: The dominant side of this gorgeous Italian man started out being very sexy. I wouldn't go as far as saying he was abusive but he was possessive and obsessed. At times I couldn't tell if he was trying to protect her or just keep her hidden for his own purposes. It bothered me that Karen thought that his behavior was okay and kept going back for more. I thought she'd be a stronger woman but it turns out that her strength was business and not relationships. The storyline was good but I found Leo's siblings more interesting than his relationship with Karen. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Breaking Noah: A Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Missy Johnson Page; Review: Zara Hamilton wants revenge against Noah Bain, a college professor, because he got her cousin pregnant and then threatened her, which made her cousin commit suicide. It was difficult to remember, while reading, that Zara is 21 years old. She seems so much younger and she definitely acts younger. I had to keep reminding myself that any relationship between them as far as teacher/student was inappropriate but as far as age goes, it was okay. I don't want to say too much about the story because I don't like to give spoilers but there is a huge plot twist in the story! And one you'll have to find out for yourself by reading this book. Noah seems like such a great person and teacher. It's hard to imagine he'd do the things he's accused of but as proven in the story, you think you know someone and it turns out that you really don't. Fantastic story with great suspense and some smokin' hot sex scenes. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Snowbound Summer (The Logan Series Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sally Clements Page; Review: 4.5 Star Review This is a sweet, feel good romance. The lesson to be learned is to always be truthful. Lies only complicate things that don't need to be complicated. Summer was so afraid of being judged a failure that she didn't give the people that loved her a chance to understand what she was going through. With the help of an injured dog and a snowstorm, Nick just might have the chance to tell her how he's always felt about her. Loved it! Who wouldn't fall in love with a gorgeous, sexy, Irishman. Great story that warms the heart with all that cold snow falling from the sky in Ireland. The story was well written and had me hooked from beginning to end.

Sam never really saw April as a beautiful woman until she was gone. Too late! April may seem a little quirky but she's smart and business savvy and Sam wants her back for more than just his assistant. Annabelle is an unexpected character.

Amazing! And HOT! Shane has to keep her safe from a gang leader she supposed to testify against but who will keep them safe from each other? Fallon and Shane were a match made in heaven, except they each were looking for the opposite of what they saw in each other. Shane took sexy to a whole new level. Ex-military turned personal security specialist. I had to turn the fan on while reading. I highly recommend this well written, super sexy and suspenseful Romance. You won't be sorry! If I could give more than five stars for this review I would. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Slipperless #1: A Billionaire Love Story (Billionaire Erotic Romance - Slipperless Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sloan Storm Page; Review: Gabe and Fiona met at a bar. She didn't really want anything to do with him and not because she didn't find him attractive but she's kind of shy and a little socially awkward. Who knew he'd end up being the CEO of the company she was applying for a job at. Now some of her coworkers are saying she's getting special treatment from the boss. Is she? This is the first book in Sloan Storm's Slipperless series and I'm definitely loving it. It's well-written and the characters are diverse with their own special charming personalities.

Title: Teasing The Boss (Billionaires In The City Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Mallory Crowe Page; Review: 4.5Stars Simon West and Grace Bell met and quickly realized they needed each other. She's an event planner and he's a financial fixer. She was going through an issue with a local senator and it was affecting her business in a bad way and by reputation, she knew only Simon West could help her. When Simon met Grace he realized she was an ex-girlfriend of the man he hates and wants to bring down. What happens when two single people start spending tremendous amounts of time together? Exactly! You should recognize Simon from book one in the Billionaire's in the City series, Teaching the Boss. He was on a mission then and it continues in this book. I would have liked more heat between the two main characters. Simon was almost single-minded about taking down Mark DuFord and the romance felt like an afterthought. Don't get me wrong, the storyline was still great, well-written and with strong characters. Mallory Crowe is a very talented author and I can't wait for book 3.

Title: Rush: A White Lace Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Gina Gordon Page; Review: You know how they say opposites attract? That was Everly and Max. He was VP of a porn production company and she was a law student and everything vanilla he never knew he was missing. Everly had a bucket list given to her by her grandmother and she was supposed to finish every item before she graduated. Max was going to help her. The closer they got, the harder it would be to walk away when the list was completed. This is a very thorough, entertaining and well-written story. For as unsure of herself as Everly was, she never had an issue with what Max did for a living. Her parents kept putting the pressure on about school and becoming a lawyer until she broke. I applaud her for standing up to them. This was quite an enjoyable read. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tempting The Boss (Billionaires In The City Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Mallory Crowe Page; Review: 4.5 Stars Victoria Green is the CEO of a nationwide hardware retail store and someone wants her dead. When she meets Dean Carey, handyman for an event planner, he volunteers to guard her until she can get a proper security detail. That's when the sparks fly. It's refreshing to find an alpha male character who's not intimidated by the wealth of his girlfriend. He works very hard to save college money for his 16-year-old sister, that he's raised since she was six. He does not use Victoria but he's not afraid to take what she's offering. Dean's kind of a gruff on the outside but a teddy bear on the inside, kind of guy. I thought Victoria was more hoity-toity but she's pretty down to earth. Great storyline with smooth progression from beginning to end. This is book 3 in the Billionaires in the City series and I can't wait for the next one.

Their love is strong and intense and is a beautiful thing to watch. That's exactly how I felt while reading. It was like a movie running in my head. Troy is gorgeous and extremely sexy! He's changed so much over the past 7 years. He's a Hollywood stuntman! Giselle is now the angel of country music. She's made it to the top of the charts just like she's always wanted to.

The only one who knows how to get a hold of him is his brother Grant. Now Grant needs him. Janelle Keebler, Grant's sister-in-law, needs protection from her heroine dealing ex-husband who wants her dead. Schwartz just didn't count on her being so beautiful or having such a spirited personality. Great story about a man that has issues from his last tour of duty in Iraq and how this woman he's protecting, slowly wedges her way into his life and heart. Schwartz is a big, gorgeous, sexy, brooding mountain man who finds it easier to seclude himself away instead of facing his problems. Amazing descriptive writing. While reading I could picture everything, Schwartz, Sherman, even the coffee pot and more. I absolutely adore the Patton family! They are funny and an amazing, stick together through anything, military family. Even his mother, Stella, is a soldier. I can't wait to read more from this fabulous author.

Title: Slipperless #2: A Billionaire Love Story (Billionaire Erotic Romance - Slipperless Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sloan Storm Page; Review: As we get further into the story of Gabe and Fiona, we find out that Gabe likes to treat Fiona like crap and she takes it. He might be helping her by bringing her out of her shell but his way of helping her is not doing much for this reader. He's rude, he yells and then wants to do it on his desk. I guess she accepts that treatment because that's what turns her on. Looking forward to book 3 to see if things get better for Fiona or more difficult. Can she pull off the big speech? Does she continue to let Gabe treat her the way he does? Received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review.

Title: Forget (Changing Colors Book 1) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's N.A. Alcorn Page; Review: WOW! I am left with my mouth hanging open. I'm so anxious to read the next book. Brooke is a fantastic character. Her relationship with Millie, her grandmother, was so amazing. The letter Millie wrote to Brooke was brilliant and totally changed her life. Dylan. The first thing I like to say is that I think I'm in love. No, really! He's that awesome. He's cocky, gorgeous, sexy, tattooed, has a brilliant sense of humor and do I need to continue? He also has some drool worthy verbal skills. He's certainly very talented in MANY areas, including his music. The chemistry between Brooke and Dylan was heated from the beginning. The vibe between these two was so amazing to watch. It was truly like they were each other's long lost other half. Millie really knew what she was doing when she sent Brooke to Paris. The story is heartbreaking in several areas, exciting, hilariously funny, with some pretty amazing sex. The story is extremely well-rounded in that it touches on so many different emotions. I just can't say enough great things about this book. N.A. Alcorn, I am dying to read book 2 in the Changing Colors series.

Title: Gypsy Love: A Gypsy Beach Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jillian Neal Page; Review: At first, the way John talked seemed a little over-the-top but the more I got to know him, it was his vibrant personality shining through. He's so charming and real. He's a master with the dirty talk and then following through with it in the bedroom. I think I'm in love! Arley and John hit it off from the start. They were both staying in Gypsy Beach at Ryan and Sienna's B&B. Arley has been smothered by everyone in her family but her deceased father. They are all ashamed of her and call her sinful and worse. All because she's an erotic romance author. She has mega self-esteem issues and he has some pretty huge issues himself. Can Gypsy magic stick with them as they leave Gypsy Beach or does the magic stick to the shores? Fantastic! I couldn't put it down. Great characters and even greater Gypsy lore.

Title: Plush Book 3: A Billionaire Romance - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's KB Winters Page; Review: The truth. After everything, that's all it would've taken. There were so many ups and downs. So many times Ally swore she was done. Cooper is enough to make her insane and this is what she says: "...you are the most infuriating, challenging, difficult man I've ever known. You piss me off, push all my buttons and drive me to the brink of my own insanity with record-breaking frequency." Cooper just has a very closed off, private way of dealing with things. His reasons for all of it will bring a tear to your eye. This is a very entertaining story with awesome characters. The heat factor between Allie and Cooper is off the charts!

Title: Boxed Set: The Billionaire's Wife Series Complete Collection (Billionaire Romance) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ava Claire Page; Review: This series is about Jacob and Leila Whitmore one year after marriage. We've seen this couple previously in the "His Submissive" series. It's only been a year and Jacob is already keeping secrets and even his mother is in on this one. After Leila finds out the big secret, she steps in to try and help mend some fences. Things take a turn for the worst, unexpectedly and here comes Alicia with another bomb to drop, which destroys Jacob AGAIN! During this insane part of Jacob's life, someone has kidnapped Leila and he really goes crazy. He might know who took her but the situation might not be what he thinks it is. This is another fantastic series by Ava Claire with strong characters and a strong story line. Jacob and Leila are still very much in love and he excepts her for who she is. Their chemistry is still off the charts HOT! Jacob has a crazy temper but luckily Leila knows how to defuse it. I love seeing Jacob the husband for a change, instead of always Jacob the Dom. Seeing Jacob the husband shows the depth of his love for Leila. Lots of plot twists, some new characters and plenty of DRAMA! I can't wait to see what's up next for this very talented author.

Title: Uncharted (Unexpected Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Claudia Burgoa Page; Review: I feel like I just walked out of a movie theater and still reeling from an amazing story. This family felt so real. They had real issues and live life so simply for the celebrities they are. The triplets are very grounded. The story started and ended in a span of 10 years. Jacob's and Pria's life together was written in the stars. The problems they faced were simple but complicated by circumstance. At times, many times, my heart broke for them and other times I couldn't of been happier. The character growth was perfect and the author did a great job at smoothing out a ten-year timeline. This book and series is a MUST read. This is book 3 in the Unexpected series. Claudia Burgoa tells an amazing story and I can't wait to read more. I was not compensated for my review.

Title: Below the Belt: A Worth the Fight Novel (Worth the Fight series Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sidney Halston Page; Review: Antonio "Scarface" Marino, MMA fighter, signed a contract and was training at WtF Academy of which Francesca Silva was half owner. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he wanted her. He was persistent but she always turned him down, until one day she didn't. When you have two people with issues it can lead to a very emotionally unstable relationship. I really like the story. I think there was just a tiny bit too much indecision and flip flopping in the relationship and uncontrollable jealousy but it was still a great read. I love MMA fighter stories. All that testosterone in one place is enough to make a girl sigh. Francesca is one bad ass woman and it takes an equally bad ass man to make her his. Between her issues from a past relationship and his hot Cuban temper and jealousy, they both have some tough struggles ahead of them. Their chemistry is undeniable and they make each other laugh but when they fight, WATCH OUT! Rome was not built in a day and neither is their complicated steamy romance. This is my first foray into the Worth the Fight series with book 3 and I can't wait to go back and read books 1 and 2. I was not compensated for my review.

Title: Slipperless #4: A Billionaire Love Story (Billionaire Romance: Slipperless Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sloan Storm Page; Review: Well, cliffhanger resolved and all is well until Fiona turns into a freakishly emotional mess. She's constantly crying and can't give Gabe a reason nor is she willing to let him help her. What will happen to the presentation? So much happens in such a short amount of time and the story's still flowing. I previously had an issue with Gabe but he's somewhat redeemed himself. Now I have major issues with Fiona. WHAT IS SHE THINKING? I have come to the realization that she's not! I do realize everything she's been through and is going through but her behavior is a little out there. For some reason, she STILL refuses to tell Gabe about her grandmother. This is not a nail biting cliffhanger but it's still a must-read. I can't wait to see what this author has in store for us in book 5. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review.

I could strangle Victoria! Wait until you meet Tommen. It's like he was placed in Penny's path at the perfect moment. And Marie, Xander's sister? She's worse than Victoria! I think Marie is a little mentally disturbed. You won't know what I'm talking about until you read this story but some jokes are just not funny.

Title: Blackmailed By The Hero (Gone Hollywood Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Julie Particka Page; Review: I wanted to stay in Vicky and Dante's world a little longer. The story was full of the past and the present but it wasn't rushed. It flowed perfectly as we got to know each of the characters and learned what made them tick. They met each other just before she was to marry another. Her brother thought she was happy with her fiance, so he warned her to stay away from Dante. She married her fiance and he turned out to be her worst mistake EVER! Now, a couple years later, she runs into Dante at a Hollywood type party and all those old feelings come right back but she also remembers her brother warning her that he was bad news. Dante is gorgeous, built and quite sentimental and romantic. Vicky is a little hardened by her past divorce and that whole "being dependent on a man" thing. Mistakes were made but you'll have to read this fantastic book find out by who and if they were ever made right. I loved it! This is my first book by this author and I'm now a huge fan. This book was well written and as I already mentioned, has great flow. I can't wait to see what's next. Review copy provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

When Cole crashes Penn's family's annual fun-cation in Hawaii, they can no longer ignore the sparks. Keep your fan close by because this story is HOT! This author knows how to put the sparks into action. Great story but I felt like I needed more background information. It felt like I was thrown into the middle of the story and struggled a little playing catch up with the past. I love this authors writing style but this one needed a little...more.

Title: Slipperless #5: A Billionaire Love Story (Billionaire Romance: Slipperless Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sloan Storm Page; Review: I can actually picture the last two days in the book with everything that happened and Fiona being as clueless as she was. The last half of the book did seem a little rushed but it was still a perfect ending for the series. At different points throughout this entire series I wanted to grab them and shake until they seen reason. Early on I didn't care for the way Gabe treated Fiona but the more she meant to him, the better he treated her. It was at that point I actually started to like him. It wasn't until this book that I started to like Fiona. She finally developed a backbone and I enjoyed the growth of her character. Looking forward to future reads from this author.

Title: Against the Cage: A Worth the Fight Novel (Worth the Fight series Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sidney Halston Page; Review: Jack and Chrissy have known each other their whole lives. He's her brother's best friend. One misunderstanding in high school and she stopped talking to Jack. 11 years has passed since he's seen her and now she's back and more beautiful than ever. She's here to bail her brother out of jail. Even though there are incredible sparks between Jack and Chrissy, she's fighting it because she's still hurt from the high school incident. She's been in an abusive relationship in the past. Can she deal with the violence in an MMA fighter or is it just her past coming back to haunt her? This is a "brother's best friend" romance and I truly enjoyed reading it. It was entertaining with plenty of humor, testosterone, friendship and romance. Oh, and keep a cloth close by so you can wipe the steam off your E reader screen. Got a love those sexy MMA fighters. When these guys fall, they fall hard! This is the first book in the Worth the Fight series and I can't wait to read more. I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review.

Title: Falling for the P.I. (Still Harbor Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Victoria James Page; Review: While out with her best friends, Kate meets Matt. For him the attraction is instant. For her the attraction is there but so are the many questions. Is he an abuser? Can I trust him? And so on. Somehow, someway, Matt wiggles his way into Kate's life. She even starts to trust him until one day when he asked how she knew Derek Stinson. That was the one name she never wanted to hear again. This is a fantastic, highly emotional story about life after emotional and physical abuse. There's no abuse taking place in the story except for glimpses of the past. Keep the tissues handy because there are some moments that you just can't hold back the tears. I fully understand Kate's reluctance to let Matt into her life. He's almost too good to be true. No one has ever taken her side, which is why she feels she has to fight tooth and nail for every advancement in hers and Janie's lives. Janie has Downs Syndrome, which is another reason Kate has to be extra careful who she lets into her life. I love this author's writing style and I can't wait for the next book in this fabulous series. Review copy provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Title: Getting to Her - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Erin Nicholas Page; Review: He once told her that all the other girls were just practice until he could have her. WOW! He was amazing even at 15. This is an fantastic novella that makes the story of Tyler and Hailey complete. It's not a must-read before Getting Over It but it puts some things into perspective. It can definitely be read after as well. I love going back and watching it all happen from the beginning. My absolute favorite part was the kiss in the hallway at school. That was a totally calculated, ballsy thing to do and such a Ty Bennett move. You're gonna love this one! I adore this little town and always hate to leave it but just this once I get to stay a little bit longer. Now, it's time for Getting Over It.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Playing For Her Heart (The Gamers Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Megan Erickson Page; Review: Here we are, back in the gamers world. This time it's Grant Osprey's turn to find his HEA. They met at comic con, doing cosplay as Sari and Breck from Aric's Revenge and had that amazing anonymous hook up. While waiting at a restaurant for Ethan, his new magazine partner, who should walk in on his arm but Ethan's sister, Chloe. Only Grant knew her as Sari. SURPRISE!!! Fantastic story! I love the "wounded soul and the one willing to do anything to make them whole again" story line. So romantic! This one is romantic but with a sexy edge. The fact that Grant is a dad, just gives it a little more depth. I can't wait for Ethan story! Review copy provided via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

Title: Getting Over It (Sapphire Falls) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Erin Nicholas Page; Review: These two go all the way back to when he was a sophmore and she was a senior in high school. He knew what he wanted at 15 and he knows what he wants at 30. I thought I knew the basics of what their story was going to be like but I was so wrong. It was way better! Hailey was so much more than I ever expected. She's not the perfect, bitchy Mayor of Sapphire Falls. There are hidden depths and imperfections to her that came as a complete surprise. The attraction between Tyler and Hailey was crazy HOT! Their arrangement was perfect. For 3 1/2 years she made weekend getaways to Colorado where he lived and was in charge of everything while she was there and nobody knew of their relationship. It was perfect until he wanted more. His life took a turn that he wasn't expecting. All those future plans he had were no longer in the future, they were going to happen now. He started putting things into motion but never bothered to discuss them with her. He thought all these years no one knew his Hailey better than he did. He was wrong. When he found out what she'd been hiding all these years, he wondered if she was ever going to reveal these things to him? Trust him with her truths? Did he ever really know her? This is a MUST read! There was so much more happening between them but I need to leave something for you to read for yourself. A perfect small town romance with a deeper, more intense story line than you would expect. I loved it! I can't wait for my next visit to Sapphire Falls. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review.

Title: Witches Be Burned: A Magic & Mayhem Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Stacey Kennedy Page; Review: 4.5 Stars This is a fantastic paranormal, other world type of book. Witches, warlocks, vampires and werewolves are all a part of this amazing story. This is book two in the Magic & Mayhem series. Nexi and Kyden survived book one and they're on to new adventures. Kyden needs to learn that Nexi is fully capable of handling her job as a witch and a guardian. Nexi needs to learn that Kyden doesn't need saving and when she tries it puts her in greater danger. Meeting Magnus, Lord of the Underworld, is a prime example of that greater danger. Secrets are a bad, bad idea Nexi! I love the variety of characters and how they must work together for the greater good. Great story! I can't wait for the next book in this series.

Title: Boxed Set: The Billionaire Dom Diaries Complete Series Collection - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ava Claire Page; Review: My first reaction after reading this is...WOW! This is Jacob's and Leila's story told from Jacob's point of view. The love and total adoration Jacob feels for her is envious and obsessive. It's all-consuming for him. "Secrets are poison" is what Leila said. She never told Jacob what happened during the kidnapping. If she had told him before, maybe he would never have gone after Cole. Jacob really struggled with not being able to protect her. After the ordeal ended and everything was out in the open, Cole asked Jacob for a favor and because Jacob feels he owes Cole for protecting Leila, he agrees. Knowing the favor, I can't believe they helped him. Especially because of who it was that was actually in trouble. She's so ungrateful, immature and smart mouthed, that it's like talking to a teenager with an attitude problem. If you've read this book, you know who I'm talking about. And the tattoo? SHOCKER!!! It breaks my heart to know that your own mother could be so sociopathic. Leila is a balm to Jacob's soul. Will Cole ever find the woman that will calm the anger in his soul? This is the end of the Billionaire Dom Diaries and I WANT MORE! I love Jacob and Leila and have come to appreciate their obsessive way of loving each other that works for them. Ava Claire has an amazing writing style and I look forward to reading more from her. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review.

Title: The Lost: A Crow City Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Cole McCade Page; Review: This book kept my emotional state on a razors edge. Clarissa Leigh Van Zandt is an extremely complicated character. She was so lost, by herself, and didn't have any direction when she ran. No compass! I thought she'd found her salvation in Gabriel Hart but he was almost as broken and lost as she was. I can't claim to understand her reasons or his for that matter but I could feel their pain. The pain of wanting everything to be OK but knowing it wasn't. Then it might never be. Wanting hurt worse than not having it at all. This is a brilliantly told story that was real and awkward. It was tragic and beautiful. It eased my soul when I heard the answer to Wally's question "Do you know what you want now?" That was "my" closure to the story. You must read this book yourself to see what you get from it, as I believe everyone will get something different by the time they're finished. I thank this author for the Trigger Warning at the beginning and the Afterwords at the end. Knowing that I wasn't reading the fantasy romance novel but was reading about something real and tragic, made it easier to read some of the things Leigh had been through. Hard to read because of the tragedy of it all but still a great book! Not a true story, only fiction but close enough to be real for some.

Title: Soul Scorched: Part 1: A Dark King Novel in Four Parts (Dark Kings- Soul Scorched) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Donna Grant Page; Review: Darcy is a druid from the Isle of Skye. She was unhappy there and moved to Edinburgh. She searches for something but doesn't yet know what that is. She's helped Ulrik unbound a portion of his dragon magic and that put her on the radar of the Dragon Kings and the Dark Fae. She is apparently the only Druid that can touch Dragon Magic and not die. Warrick is one of the Kings sent to protect her. He's also very attracted to her. This large, hulking, gorgeous man who can turn into a dragon is kind of shy and awkward. So adorable, if you can call a Dragon King adorable. Darcy is gathering information to see who she can really trust. This is a great start to a novel in four parts. I'm loving it!

Rhi added her protection to Darcy's flat but what about her store? With Darcy's Druid magic and the Dragon King's magic, her shop "should" be protected from the Dark Fae and they get the chance to find out. This story just keeps getting more interesting.

Title: Alex: A Cold Fury Hockey Novel (Carolina Cold Fury Hockey Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sawyer Bennett Page; Review: I love sports romance and Sawyer Bennett's players make up some of the best. Alex Crossman is best described by the Cold Fury hockey fans as MVP, most valuable prick. Yeah, he's that unpleasant. When he's forced to work with Sutton Price, by Cold Fury management, on an anti-drug abuse campaign, he's not happy. That is until he finds out that Sutton is a woman and a gorgeous one at that. Alex is not a relationship kind of guy but the longer he works with Sutton the more he's wanting things he's never wanted or had. If I didn't have more books to read in the series, I'd read this one again. I love it that much. Alex is a very complex man because of his upbringing. He's still living his life stuck in the past. Sutton has made her life very simple. She has dealt with her difficult past and moved on. Their journey is inspiring. I can't wait to read the next book in the series, Garrett.

Title: Garrett: A Cold Fury Hockey Novel (Carolina Cold Fury Hockey Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sawyer Bennett Page; Review: Garrett Samuelson, the king of one-night stands, sees a woman that completely takes his breath away. Olivia Case, Sutton's cousin, is a beautiful woman with major health issues. Though she turned him down the first time, she quickly changes her mind. Life is short and maybe even shorter for her, so why pass up the opportunity for an amazing one-night stand. But will one night be enough for Garrett? This is the second book in the Cold Fury Hockey Novel series and I am blown away! Such fantastic writing by Sawyer Bennett. This author took me to places I wasn't ready for but I'm so glad I went. There is more depth to Garrett than I imagined. He was a good guy before but now I might be a little in love. He's thoughtful, caring, sweet and romantic but behind closed doors, watch out! He is sexy as hell, he likes it how he likes it and makes no apologies for it. Behind all the beautiful people and amazing sex, the story is so touching. I laughed...a lot! There were some happy tears and many TRAGIC, so, so sad tears that were cried during this book. But most of all, the epilogue BLEW ME AWAY! When you get to the end, just before you read the epilogue, take a minute, breathe and then start reading again. You really need to read this fantastic book from this amazing author!.

Title: Trusting Michael (Devereaux Billionaires Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Mallory Crowe Page; Review: This is book 5 of the Billionaires in the City series and this is Michael's and Lori's story. We get some answers to some of the questions we had in book 4 but things are getting a little complicated for Michael and Luke. There are so many more specifics in this story that it gives you a better picture of who's doing what to whom. Lori gets thrown into the mix and she can't deny her attraction to Michael, as much as she wants to. Their one-weekend stand turns into much more and it's really cute how much Michael likes her. He chases her relentlessly. Now we know that the group they're looking for is called Thirteen Stars but we still have many, many questions about them that I'm sure will be answered in upcoming stories. I can't wait for Luke's story coming soon. Received a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review.

Title: No Time Like Forever: A Small Town Romance (Wardham Book 6) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Zoe York Page; Review: This is a fabulous story about a hockey player that was injured in a car accident and can no longer play the game. Chase Miller is suffering from depression because his life is no longer on the path he started on. He's seen Mari Beadie almost every day for year, to have a beer and lunch at the bar she works at. The moment he saves her from her ex by pretending to be her current boyfriend and kisses her, is the moment that starts the undeniable attraction between them. She's an aspiring song writer and he's a famous ex-hockey player, what could they possibly have in common? Chase is always unsure when it comes to Mari. Is he doing the right thing? Is he saying the right thing? Mari is never quite sure if she's enough for the ex-hockey star. They have much to learn about each other. The relationship doesn't feel rushed and progresses smoothly, with the exception of a few bumps in the road. This is a well-written sweet romance and the cover is EXACTLY as I pictured Chase and Mari to look like. Great job Zoe York! I'm super excited to read more of The Wardham series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: A Wife in Every Sense (Europe's Hottest Billionaires) - Kindle edition; Brand: Joanne Walsh; Review: Aleksei Aleksanou, Greek billionaire, was Kate Burrows' boss. She developed a slight crush on him and decided that it would never go anywhere because he doesn't do love or commitment. So, she quit her job and was going on a two month vacation. The day before she left he came to her apartment and they ended up in bed. Ten weeks into her vacation, she starts to put two and two together because she's sick all the time and she's very tired. When she tells Aleksei what's going on, he decides marriage is the best thing. Will she be able to change his playboy ways? Can she live her life married to someone that will never love her? Aleksei is Greek and his English is not always perfect. Kate is English and her English might be worse than his. I didn't feel much emotion from Kate until the end of the book. I also didn't like the way she allowed to Aleksei to talk to her sometimes. The whole fight with Phoenix in the hotel room and how Aleksei made it seem like it was Kate's fault, was ridiculous. I don't think he was mad enough. An ex-girlfriend sneaks into your hotel room and attacks your pregnant wife? He should have been livid!!! I think I was looking for more emotion from these characters and stronger feelings considering their circumstances. Also, the entire situation with Eleni seemed a little out of place in this story. The idea of this story line is good but the delivery could be improved. Received a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review.

Title: Dodging Temptation (The Retreat) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Avery Flynn Page; Review: Dodge Loving runs an ultra private resort/retreat in the middle of Wyoming. His grandfather runs a hotel that is in dire need of a cash influx. They are competing against each other for a place within the global resort company, The Brasch Group. Nothing will stand in the way of Dodge making sure his grandfather loses EVERYTHING because of the way he disowned Dodge's mother many years ago, when she married a black man. Is his need for revenge making him more like the old man than he wants to admit? Then his mother hires Harper Conner and he can't keep his eyes or hands off her until he finds out she works for his grandfather's company. Is she a corporate spy? Can he trust her? Dodge is one fine looking cowboy/businessman. I think he gave up too easily on Harper. For as close as they got, I didn't feel the deep feelings from Dodge that he should have had. I felt the fun and sexy rendezvous in the kitchen, in the hall, and in the library, just to name a few, but no truly deep "love" feelings. Still, a very steamy and sexy romance with a fantastic cover! Received a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review.

Title: One Night with the Billionaire (Men of the Zodiac Book 9) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sarah Ballance Page; Review: Ryder and Zoe were neighbors when they were teenagers. Her family on the money side and his on the wrong side. Her father paid off the bad boy with a legally binding contract and money. Ryder was to never have anything to do with Zoe for the rest of his life or he would owe Zoe's father 10 times what he was paid or his entire net worth, whichever was greater. Now, 10 years later Ryder owns his own island with a private resort and billions of dollars. Will the re-entry of Zoe into his life make him long for what he could never have or will everything he's built be too much to take a chance at losing? Amazing! This story flowed so effortlessly with everything falling into place and characters so real that I felt like I was watching a movie as I was reading. Ryder is the bad boy that isn't afraid of his feelings. He's as honest as he can be and did I forget to mention he's too sexy for words? HOT! I like Zoe's no BS attitude as well.

Title: Limits of Destiny (Volume 1): A Bad Boy Billionaire Romance Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sharlyn G. Branson Page; Review: 3.5 Stars Alexander and Alexia have a crazy obsessive romantic relationship. He wants to be her "only" in all aspects of her life. Any mention or sight of a male friend or ex and he freaks out. She gets jealous of his past conquests but not crazy like he does. He doesn't like to be told "no" and will pester, whine and argue until she gives in. I'm not sure if this relationship is a healthy one but only time will tell. This story line is good. At the beginning the writing was a little stiff. Halfway through it started to improve and it quickly got so much better that it started flowing nicely. There is a lot of growth potential for these characters in the upcoming volumes. I do have one request for the author and that is that this book should come with a fan because it is HOT! This couple is setting the sheets and every other surface of the house on fire! I'm looking forward to readings volume 2 of this most intriguing book, Limits of Destiny.

Title: Addicted to You (Swanson Court Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Serena Grey Page; Review: This is book 2 in the Swanson Court series and it is a fabulous 5-star read. The first book was great but this one's even better! Rachel loves Landon but she's afraid what happened with Jack will happen again. What is Landon thinking spending so much time with Ava Sinclair? It's only natural for Rachel to start feeling jealous. Landon gets jealous over Jack. How can they make it work when trust disappears so quickly? All she needs is to get enough courage to tell him she loves him or she will always wonder about his true feelings. It's irritating how Rachel brings up Ava Sinclair, he then tries to stop the argument by changing the subject and she lets it go. ARGUE with him! YELL at him! Let him know it's NOT OK! But that's just my opinion. I love Rachel, Landon, Aiden and Laurie. I'm addicted to the Swanson Court series and all of its characters! Fantastic writing!

Title: The Indigo Lounge Box Set - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Zara Cox Page; Review: High, Book 1, 4-Stars I thought Bethany was a bit timid but watching her with Zachary showed a more stubborn, snarky and almost bitchy side to her. There were times when she got mad and all he had to do was whisper a few words and her anger melted away. Why couldn't she just stay mad for a normal amount of time? To say he's obsessed with her is an understatement. He wants honesty from her but he's keeping his secrets close to his chest. I would say Bethany is overwhelmed and charmed because living with only the best parts of someone would be ideal. Except when he says the name "Farrah" in his sleep. At first the story rang with the air of a 50 Shades of Grey type of story. Towards the end, things started happening to lead you away from that. I feel Bethany's frustration and hearing another woman's name on your man's lips, while he's dreaming with a smile on his face, would raise a lot of questions which I'm sure will be answered in the next book. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Higher, Book 2, 4.5 Stars Let me just say that this man can grovel with the best of them but somehow it's never quite what she's looking for. He can't lose her. She's his everything. She thinks he doesn't love her and that he's obsessed and thinks of her as his possession. If he never lets her know all of him and trusts her with his truths, what they have is just sex and that's definitely not enough. He can't talk about Farrah because he signed an NDA six years ago. Foolishly he waits a very long time to tell Bethany that. I love the story of Zachary Savage, owner of the Indigo Lounge and events planner Bethany Green. Told with great detail, nothing left to question, the story was filled with amazing sex, obsession and a love so deep it often hurts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spiral, Book 3, 5 Stars The dark intimate, steamy, intense pleasure between Leia and Noah was addicting. The relationship behind the bedroom door is beautiful and exactly what they both crave but open the door and the demons come flooding in. He's ready to fight her demons but is she ready to fight his?

Title: Surge: Bad Boy Racing Romance (Fastlane Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sloan Storm Page; Review: 4.5 Stars First, let me say that I love the cover of this book. It gave me a great mental picture of Dyson and Ava. Second, I think I might be a little in lust with Dyson Vix! This book should come with a warning: HOT, SEXY-AS-SIN RACE CAR DRIVERS AHEAD! Ava Walters was offered a chance and a lot of money to be a medical professional for a race car team for the remainder of their US circuit. Can she resist playboy Dyson Vix and his addiction to danger? Great story with plenty of action on the track and off of it. I like the fact that Ava never pushed Simon on Dyson. She let their relationship grow naturally. It was nice that she didn't go all crazy jealous with the knowledge of Dyson's player past. I also like that their relationship grew at a steady pace. He is a dare devil with a bit of an unpredictable temper, that even his brother wasn't sure of. I am thrilled with the first book in this Fastlane series. As it is with all of Sloan Storm's series, it only gets better from here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crazy about Cameron; Brand: Visit Amazon's Katy Regnery Page; Review: This is book number three in The Winslow Brothers series and it was fantastic! I started out thinking this moody, sexy Cameron Winslow was a little wacky. He was nuts about Margaret Story! They were childhood friends and part of a group of neighborhood kids. He was the boy that always pulled her braids. He was the boy that was always secretly in love with her and she was the girl who was always secretly in love with him. Cameron had morals. Margaret wasn't the kind you just messed around with. She was the forever kind. He's not ready for forever because of family obligations and she has a boyfriend but when they both get on the same page, WATCH OUT! The love between these two is so beautiful and pure. I'm not liking Margaret's father though. His attitude towards having five daughters and not one single son is devastating to the girls. Such a shame. The story and character growth flow at a fast pace. Cameron doesn't know the meaning of slow down. It's a good thing Margaret's on board. This is a fantastic, feel-good romance! It is also my first book by this author and I can't wait to read more. Kate Regnery has a way of pulling you into the story before you even realize your there. The best way to read a book is to be so into it that nothing exists outside of those pages and she has accomplished that with this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Illegal Motion: Boys of Fall - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Erin Nicholas Page; Review: One night one man shared his woman with his best friend. Garrett and Lacey wanted Carter to complete their relationship as a mnage. There was only one surprise Carter couldn't live with, then Garrett was killed in the line of duty and their trio was no more. Will Carter ever be able to forget about Lacey and move on? Will he regret not giving his answer to Garrett sooner and wasting so much time? "His sexiness came, not from his hair or his clothes, but from the way he moved and the confidence and intensity that was just a part of him" Lacey describing Carter. I am NEVER disappointed by the writing of Erin Nicholas and this story is as great as the rest of them. The feelings Carter was dealing with were intense. First I was a little disappointed in how he was dealing but after some thought, there really is no precedent for dealing with that kind of situation. I love how Lacey was assertive in going after what she wanted. The drunken bar scene had me laughing out loud! I love the Boys of Fall series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Fall Back: Navy SEAL adventure romance (SEALs Undone Series Book 6) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Zoe York Page; Review: Cade Duncan wanted Melissa Vincent the moment he saw her. She was friends with his friends, Jared and Cassie. He found out that she needed a partner for an endurance race and volunteered. Her only rule is for them to stay in the friend zone until they return home from the race. Will she be able to stick to her own rule? Will she ever tell Cade the real reason for her wanting to run this particular race? Awesome read! Fall Back is my favorite book in the SEALs Undone series. Great action, romance, and a sexy Navy SEAL that knows his way around a woman's body. He's not a player which is nice for a change. He's just a great guy. He's actually the perfect guy to help break down all her emotional barriers. Loved it! I can't wait to see what's next for this totally amazing author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Red Zone: Boys of Fall - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Mari Carr Page; Review: What I love about this series is that it's a small town with small town jobs. There are no extraordinary wealthy residents. This story is about two cowboys, Joel and Oakley, who worked for Coach on his farm and Sadie, the bartender, whose father owns the bar. These cowboys are sexy as hell. One is straight and one is bisexual and wasn't shamed of it. They're best friends. They both wanted Sadie, separately but she couldn't choose. She told them she wanted them both. We learned that everyone has different kinds of hang ups and none of them judge each other for it. It's really all about what makes YOU happy. If it's something different than what's normal, more power to you! I love this Boys of Fall series! Characters are amazing and the story line flowed like a movie in my head. I love it when that happens.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sinful Liaisons (Cynfell Brothers Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Samantha Holt Page; Review: This story is about Pierce Cynfell, fourth son, and Evelyn Chesworth, Duchess of Ardleigh. Instead of her being his mistress, she paid him to be her lover. The arrangement works until feelings get involved. I loved how the roles were reversed in the story. Things a man would think and feel were thought and felt by a woman and vice a versa. Evelyn is a very stubborn, independent woman and often said things that were hurtful to Pierce. The story flowed smoothly and Pierce and Evelyn had witty and clever conversations between them. The flirting was fantastic! I love how Evelyn wasn't afraid to speak her mind. All this and I haven't even gotten to the mystery part of the story but I'll let you get to that when you read this amazing book. Samantha Holt writes great historicals with the perfect mix of steamy romance and enthralling mystery. I love a story that not only am I reading but "seeing" it all happen at the same time. This is another fabulous read by an amazing author. I can't wait to see what's next!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pretend It's Love (Behind the Bar Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Stefanie London Page; Review: This was such a fun read! This is the story of Paul Chapman and Libby Harris. The story revolves around these two people but it's also about so much more. They thought a pretend relationship would benefit each of them but oh how they were wrong. Her issues with her parents were not the tragic kind but still broke my heart. His last relationship was horribly scandalous and it wasn't him who made it that way. Libby and Paul definitely have some issues. Will they solve them before it's too late? This is a fun romance with some sexy banter between main characters. There was definitely some steam coming off of my screen. This is my first book by this author and I can't wait to read more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kissing Her Crazy (Crazy Love Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Kira Archer Page; Review: This is a lite-hearted, fun romance. The characters had amazing and down-to-earth personalities. Well, except for Elliot's parents. They were very wealthy and if you didn't run in there circles, then you just weren't good enough. Elliot seemed extremely immature for most of the story. It was hard to imagine that he was 26 years old. I did appreciate the fact that they didn't immediately fall in love and get married and I did notice how much Elliot had matured by the end of the book. I would love to be able to look into the future of this couple and see where they end up.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Due South Boxed Set: 5 Small Town Romances (Stewart Island Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tracey Alvarez Page; Review: In Too Deep (Piper and West) #1 This book has it all. A little bit of mystery, intrigue, squabbling family members and an awesome love story which is happening in, around and behind all the other aspects of this story. I love island life because everyone knows each other and the gossip grapevines work extremely fast. There are rarely any secrets and I say rarely because a few of these residents are holding onto some pretty big ones. It's great the smart ass way Piper, West and Ben talk to each other. I had a few laugh out loud moments, as well as a few moments when I was reaching for a tissue. Great start to an amazing series! Melting Into You (Ben and Kezia) #2 Tracy Alverez has done an amazing job at telling this emotionally charged story of two people who have fallen in love but don't want to be in love because of past hurts. It's all about the struggles these two go through to get to that ultimate place in life that most strive for. Ready to Burn (Shaye and Del) #3 Del is a chef in the U.S. and his mother asks him to return to New Zealand to help is ailing father at his restaurant called Due South. Shaye is the sous chef and assumed that one day she'd take over as head chef. You can imagine her shock and anger when she sees Bill's son Del arrive on the island and she's told Del will take over. She was angry when Del moved to the U.S. with his mother when she was 10 years old. She doesn't want to like Del but the sparks fly when they look at each other. Del doesn't want any ties because life for him is complicated enough right now but he just can't resist her. Shaye has a check list of traits her perfect man will have. Does Del measure up? What happens when they have to work together every day? Christmas With You (Kip and Carly) #4 With the interference of the Sullivan clan, Kip and Carly don't stand a chance at fighting this matchmaking family. This Christmas novella in the Due South series is fantastic! Characters are funny, witty, and extremely sexy. There are moments that bring tears to your eyes but mostly laughter. My only regret is that I couldn't spend more time in Oban for the holidays with these fantastic families. Thank you Tracey Alvarez for another wonderful visit to this amazing island! My Forever Valentine #5 Shaye and Del A look into their cute Valentines Day celebration with Del in the hospital still recovering from giving his dad a kidney. It's not sexy being interrupted by your brother and sister while trying to wish your man a happy Valentines Day. Del in love? Even more sexy! Piper and West It's never easy waiting for those lines to appear, or not, on the test sticks. These two make their feelings clear to each other while waiting. They're so in love! Carly and Kip There's nothing; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Take A Risk Bundle - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Robin Bielman Page; Review: Worth the Risk, Book #1, 5-Stars This is a story about love lost and found again. It's about family and forgiveness. A few times I was irritated with Dean but then he'd make up for it in some way. He and Samantha had amazing chemistry in and out of bed. The joy they experienced together, especially when they went zero G, was so contagious that I found myself smiling right along with them. Great start to a fantastic series! Risky Surrender, Book #2, 4-Stars I love the way this author connects these characters and pulls the reader into the romance. Even though I usually enjoy books longer in length, I did joy this story. I think there could have been more story line during the romance because it did feel a bit rushed but it was still a fulfilling HEA with a good beginning and ending. His Million Dollar Risk, Book #3, 5-Stars This is a complete, well thought out story with strong characters. How can you not be drawn to a character like Charlie? She takes care of business but she's also very spontaneous and takes the time to enjoy the little things. She teaches Connor to appreciate life again. These two have chemistry in spades! I truly enjoyed reading this book. One Night of Risk, bonus novella, 3.5-Stars This is a good second chance story. Clay and Malia have amazing chemistry. The romance was sizzling but the story running in the background was lacking in substance. BUT...the ending was a true HEA. At the end of the day, this Take a Risk Bundle was a fantastic read! I always look forward to reading anything written by this totally amazing author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Red (The Safeword Series: Book One) (An Alpha Billionaire Romance) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ava Claire Page; Review: 4.5 Stars She needs a story. Hush, the BDSM club, is it. If she can get a job there she'll have the inside track about who and what goes on in the ultra private club. There was only one problem. She didn't count on meeting HIM. The man in the black mask. This is the first book of The Safeword Series. It's another fantastic series of shorts by Ava Claire. Outrageously sexy with some unrequited love, some betrayal and lots of secrets!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wild Ride (Playing For Keeps Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Cathryn Fox Page; Review: 4.5 Stars Wild Ride is Tyler "Mac" MacKenzie and Jess Gray's story. Mac gives his all to Jess and it's up to her to believe the Playboy or not. After all the years that passed since they last saw each other is he really the settling down type? Can he put love before work? Will she stick around to find the answers to all her questions? This is such a fun and sexy read! This series is all about second chances. Wranglers was a pleasant surprise I didn't expect to find near the ranch. These men have thought about these women for the past 10 years and they're making the most of their second chances. I can't wait to read the next book in this fantastic series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yellow (The Safeword Series: Book Two) (An Alpha Billionaire Romance) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ava Claire Page; Review: 4.5 Stars This is the second book in The SafeWord Series and it's just as good, if not better than the first. We're starting to see the man behind the mask and he is more than I expected. He's definitely way more than Sophia expected judging by her reaction when he took off his mask. I NEED to read the next book in this ultra sexy short series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Testing Luke (Devereaux Billionaires Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Mallory Crowe Page; Review: This is book 6 in the Billionaires in the City series. In this book the FBI is still after the Thirteen Stars. As things get more dangerous for Luke and Evelyn they are forced to spend more time together and that's when they turn up the heat in the bedroom. There are plenty of twists and turns in this story but the last plot twist will leave you with your mouth hanging open. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book in this fantastic series from this amazing author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bash, Volume I (Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Club Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Candace Blevins Page; Review: 4.5 Stars Volume 1 - I'm not gonna lie and say I understand the ways of the RTMC and how the men treat their women and visa versa but the further I got into the story, the more comfortable I was in their world. At "NO" point was I bored but I started to wonder if there was going to be any romance at all. Have no fear, it's there! It's not a conventional romance but an MC romance, which is not all hearts and flowers. The feelings between Bash and Angelica are far reaching and so deep they're not even sure if they want to explore them for fear of how much their lives will change. This is a fantastic, engaging story! Volume 2 - There's major trouble with the DA and with the local gang called the Disciples. Lots of action! Volume 3 - The BDSM aspect of the story was a little difficult to get through as it is a little intense but thankfully it didn't take over the story. The intimacy between Bash and Angelica was off the charts HOT! And Dawg? Unbelievably sexy! Angelica is a very lucky lady. I love her strength and independence. These three volumes were extremely captivating and I can't wait to read more about the members of the RTMC and their friends.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Heart's Awakening (Heart of Fire Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Nina Croft Page; Review: Childhood crushes...proposals at 10...promises of the future...destiny! This is a love story a long time coming for Kieran and Jenna. The Heart of Fire has strange powers and in this instance, a woman who believes in it. This is a good, quick read with an amazing mystery and a steamy romance. The tale that the stone is based on is a great one! This is a fantastic beginning to the Heart of Fire series. I can't wait to see who it will burn next.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Marrying Mr. English: The English Brothers #0.5 (The Blueberry Lane Series - The English Brothers) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Katy Regnery Page; Review: What an amazing love story! I think the way the author set up the story was brilliant. Eleanora and Tom were inspiring and envious. Van and Evie where a huge surprise! I certainly didn't expect their outcome. This is one of those books that when you turn the last page all you can do is sigh with a smile on your face. This is definitely a MUST read. Thank you Kate Regnery for another sigh-worthy story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ryker: A Cold Fury Hockey Novel (Carolina Cold Fury Hockey Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sawyer Bennett Page; Review: Oh, what a beautiful man! He's gorgeous and after a crash course from Kate, he's great with his daughters. He's attentive and loves being in a relationship. Perfect! Of course he would want the one woman he can have. All of the books in the Cold Fury Hockey series are fabulous but "Ryker" is a masterpiece as a man and as a book. He's a good person. I love how he always thinks of Gray or his children first. He doesn't make rash decisions and has his life in order. When he loves, he loves with all that he is and is willing to make sacrifices for that love that no ordinary man would choose to make. I highly recommend this book and this series. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Running Wilde (Wilde Security Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tonya Burrows Page; Review: Do you remember Lark and Vaughn? This is their story and it's fantastic. The attraction is still there but neither of them want it. In the beginning, all he thinks he wants is what she took from him when she skipped town. He doesn't want to want her. She left and broke his sister-in-laws heart. Lark's feelings run deep for Vaughn but her need to stay alive runs deeper. The HUGE plot twist really threw me. I love all the Wilde brothers and the women they have paired with but Sage/Lark really had me on the fence until the end. There's a lot of running, chasing, sexy...steamy scenes and some pretty amazing family moments. I am super excited to read the next book about Greer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fighting Dirty: Worth the Fight Series - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sidney Halston Page; Review: 4.5 Stars This is the story of Lorenzo "Enzo" Silva and Jamie Lynn "JL" Calhoun, twin sister to Travis Calhoun. Enzo has wanted her for a year and finally his divorce is over. Now he can pursue her in earnest. She always turns him down though. She's attracted to him but they come from two different worlds and it would never work. Enzo is an amateur fighter in his spare time. He's not a full time career MMA fighter. After he loses a bet and does something unexpected, she just might change her mind. What would be the harm in one dinner between the sexy serious business man and the tattooed, colored hair, combat boot-wearing pixie? This book is a fun, sexy, and steamy romance. All the books in the Worth the Fight series are fantastic reads. I love visiting Tarpon Springs and the Academy where all the action is. Where the rough and tumble men find the women that turn their lives upside down. I can't wait for my next visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Protecting Alabama (SEAL of Protection Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Susan Stoker Page; Review: This book is Alabama's and Christopher "Abe" Powers' story. Alabama's story kills me. The tears running down my face made it hard to read. To say that Abe messed up is an understatement and I was so angry with him. After the Wolfe Realty debacle, I cried at what she had to go through. I felt her "shut down" deep in my heart. Thank God for the other SEALs and for Caroline. Abe is great but what he did was almost unforgivable. The emotions run rampant in this story. It's fabulous! Another amazing story in the SEAL of Protection series. Highly recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Twisted (Rockstar Romance) (Lost in Oblivion Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Cari Quinn Page; Review: This is my first Lost in Oblivion book and I'm hooked! Gray Duffy and Jasmine Edwards have stolen my heart. I felt honored to be able to watch their unique, beautiful relationship blossom. His parents reaction to the incident with Brent really surprised me. I'm anxious to read more of this series to see if that changes at all. The entire band of Oblivion is such a mix of characters and they mesh in their own crazy way. Their stories are extremely entertaining and I found myself laughing out loud a few times. I can't wait to read more!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Waiting for You (Sparks in Texas) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Mari Carr Page; Review: Sydney and Chas are steaming up the E-reader screens in this awesome story dealing with a dominating, sexy, gorgeous Marine and the love he left behind. Coming home is a hard enough adjustment but when you add in a bad case of PTSD, it's even harder. Be sure you're sitting in front of a fan when you crack open this sizzling HOT book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thrust: Bad Boy Racing Romance (Fastlane Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sloan Storm Page; Review: In this book 2 of the Fastlane series we have the story of Dani Simms and Marco Rhys. The story line is a good one but I had a problem finding any of the love Marco had for Dani. I clearly saw her feelings grow towards him but I did not see any feelings from him towards her. She even comments and has doubts about his feelings towards her almost until the end of the story, which is where I FINALLY see some of his deeper feelings shining through. Great drama with Serena and then Bernard and Leopold. I definitely look forward to reading the next book in this fantastic series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Green (The Safeword Series: Book Three) (An Alpha Billionaire Romance) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ava Claire Page; Review: This is the conclusion to the Safeword series and Ava Claire has done it again. Fantastic series! Both Desmond and Sophia turned out to be much more than I expected. After the masks come off and the truth is revealed, what will happen to this couple who has found so much in each other in such a short time? This is a must read series! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have and I look forward to whatever this amazing author comes out with next.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Carolina Cold Fury Hockey Series 4-Book Bundle: Alex, Garrett, Zack, Ryker - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sawyer Bennett Page; Review: ALEX: I love sports romance and Sawyer Bennett's players make up some of the best. Alex Crossman is best described by the Cold Fury hockey fans as MVP, most valuable prick. Yeah, he's that unpleasant. When he's forced to work with Sutton Price, by Cold Fury management, on an anti-drug abuse campaign, he's not happy. That is until he finds out that Sutton is a woman and a gorgeous one at that. Alex is not a relationship kind of guy but the longer he works with Sutton the more he's wanting things he's never wanted or had. If I didn't have more books to read in the series, I'd read this one again. I love it that much. Alex is a very complex man because of his upbringing. He's still living his life stuck in the past. Sutton has made her life very simple. She has dealt with her difficult past and moved on. Their journey is inspiring. GARRETT: Garrett Samuelson, the king of one-night stands, sees a woman that completely takes his breath away. Olivia Case, Sutton's cousin, is a beautiful woman with major health issues. Though she turned him down the first time, she quickly changes her mind. Life is short and maybe even shorter for her, so why pass up the opportunity for an amazing one-night stand. But will one night be enough for Garrett? This is the second book in the Cold Fury Hockey Novel series and I am blown away! Such fantastic writing by Sawyer Bennett. This author took me to places I wasn't ready for but I'm so glad I went. There is more depth to Garrett than I imagined. He was a good guy before but now I might be a little in love. He's thoughtful, caring, sweet and romantic but behind closed doors, watch out! He is sexy as hell, he likes it how he likes it and makes no apologies for it. Behind all the beautiful people and amazing sex, the story is so touching. I laughed...a lot! There were some happy tears and many TRAGIC, so, so sad tears that were cried during this book. But most of all, the epilogue BLEW ME AWAY! When you get to the end, just before you read the epilogue, take a minute, breathe and then start reading again. ZACK: (review to be posted soon) RYKER: Oh, what a beautiful man! He's gorgeous and after a crash course from Kate, he's great with his daughters. He's attentive and loves being in a relationship. Perfect! Of course he would want the one woman he can have. All of the books in the Cold Fury Hockey series are fabulous but "Ryker" is a masterpiece as a man and as a book. He's a good person. I love how he always thinks of Gray or his children first. He doesn't make rash decisions and has his life in order. When he loves, he loves with all that he is and is willing to make sacrifices for that love that no ordinary man would choose to make.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dirty Sexy Saint (A Dirty Sexy Novel Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Carly Phillips Page; Review: I have a new favorite series and it's called the "Dirty Sexy Series." This was a smooth, sexy, totally engrossing story and I think I'll read it again. I was completely surprised by Samantha. Her personality and background was not what I was expecting but it was perfect for this story line. Samantha makes a decision one day to stop letting her family run her life. This decision has been brewing in her mind for a while but she didn't think it through completely because when she walked out, she only left with the clothes on her back and enough cash for a taxi ride. It must have been fate that she was delivered to Kincaid's by the taxi driver. Clay Kincaid, bar owner, is mega sexy and underneath the tragic past is a man with a heart of gold...a dirty, sexy heart of gold. If you expected "amazing" from these two brilliant romance authors, that's what they delivered! All the characters in this first book are great and I can't wait for book two, Dirty Sexy Inked.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Betting on the Wrong Brother (What Happens in Vegas) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Cathryn Fox Page; Review: 4.5 Stars Andi Palmer, romance writer, was in Vegas for a book convention. On her way to a meeting she got stuck in an elevator with the only man she ever loved and never wanted to see again. Ryan Grayson, horror writer, knew she was familiar but never would have thought she'd mistake him for his younger brother Nolan. Every time he tried to tell her who he was she would stop him. He didn't believe in happily ever after...did he? This is another great story by Catherine Fox. I'm sure glad it didn't stay in Vegas. I can't wait to read more!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Going All the Way - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Cynthia Cooke Page; Review: A divorcee, Carrie Steinhem, moved in next-door to sexy ad exec, Ryan Burton, and it just so happens that Ryan works for Carrie's ex-husband. It wasn't until about halfway through the book that Carrie finally started showing some emotion. Even for Ryan, one minute she was everything the next she was just a complication. I totally understand his issues with Stu. Carrie divorced him. She didn't want anything to do with him but she still couldn't tell him "no". The story started out exciting with the girls crashing wedding but quickly lost that upbeat element. The only amazing part of this story is Riley, the dog. This author captured the most fantastic K-9 EVER! We all need a little Riley in our lives. In my opinion, this book needed more emotion and a little bit more detail.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Irresistibly Yours: An Oxford Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lauren Layne Page; Review: This fabulous book is Cole's and Penelope's story. Both competing for the same job. Having to work together is no hardship for Cole. She's nothing like he's ever wanted before but he can't help himself, her vulnerability, her smile, and those big brown eyes are his undoing. She's been hurt and emotionally scarred. When Cole Sharpe starts paying attention to her she tries to keep things in the friend zone but he's not having any of that. What an amazing, sizzling HOT, extremely entertaining read! I love watching the playboy fall. Penelope, well, my heart broke for her. She was in no way a weak woman but I'm happy this author wrote her as such a kick butt sports editor. I have some catching up to do as far as most of the secondary characters in this book that have their own stories already in a related series. I can't wait!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kakadu Sunset: The Porter Sisters 1 - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Annie Seaton Page; Review: There's plenty of mystery and suspense that plagues this story about mining on the World Heritage site of Kakadu National Park. A thread of romance runs, almost in the background, between the two main characters, Ellie and Kane. The deeper you read into this fantastic story, more characters get involved. Some even do terrible things they normally wouldn't. It's a dangerous tangled web they weave but highly entertaining. I would have liked to have more romance to go with our two helicopter pilots, Ellie and Kane, but the story was still great. I love the writing style of this author and I look forward to whatever comes next for her.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Door; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lizzy Ford Page; Review: Gianna is being sent to live and work at a B&B in the desert. It's part of her one year probation for killing a man in self-defense. Obviously the judge did not like her. Aside from the work she was supposed to do around the house and property, Caretaker only had one rule: DO. NOT. LOCK. THE. FRONT. DOOR. EVER!!! Strange guests come and go and Gianna starts to wonder about their strange appearance and disappearance at the end of the driveway. When there's talk about her taking over for Caretaker, she wonders if this existence is something she can see herself doing for the rest of her life or will she run to the end of the driveway when things get tough. OMG! This story ROCKS! What I have explained above is only a tiny sample of what's going on in this story. The imagination of Lizzy Ford never ceases to amaze me. The story line is off the charts! Amongst everything that's going on, there is a tiny thread of a potential romance. The characters are so diversified and out of this world...literally. From the moment I started reading I couldn't put it down. I was hooked! By the time I was done reading, I was scrambling to find out when the next part would be out. I'm so excited to read Part 2 of The Door.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The One Who Got Away (An Alpha Billionaire Romance) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ava Claire Page; Review: Lincoln Carraway left her at the altar with a "note" saying he wasn't ready. Five years later and a job opportunity has brought her back home to Rhoades, North Carolina. Who do you think the unpublished co-owner is of the company she was going to work for? You got it! Lincoln Carraway and he wants her back. Will she ever be able to forgive him for the emotional devastation and utter humiliation? Definitely read this book to find out! I am a HUGE fan of Ava Claire and this book is another example of why. Fantastic second chance love story! I can't wait to see what's coming up next.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Her Lion Billionaire (Supernatural Billionaire Mates Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lizzie Lynn Lee Page; Review: Charlotte Winters is the daughter of a Sandman. When she touches someone she gets a memory glimpse and she doesn't like it because sometimes it's very disturbing. She avoids touching people as much as possible. When businessman and pride alpha, Daniel Addington, comes to Charlotte's rescue after a traffic accident, she has a vision of THEIR very steamy future, not HIS past. She doesn't know what it means but her first instinct is to run. I love shifter stories and this one was very entertaining. This author writes a very complete short story. I can't wait to read the next one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Across the Hall: A Brother's Best Friend Romance Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Kylie Walker Page; Review: 4.5 Stars From the second they met the sparks were flying. Jude and Jillian fit so well. Jillian came home from Paris with a broken heart but after meeting Jude she was on the mend quickly. At least she thought she was until she seen him, DAX McGraw. He was her Paris summer affair and broke her heart. He also happens to be Jude's mentor and father figure. PLOT TWIST! Then starts the mystery, the intrigue and the doubt. I was on the edge of my seat hoping beyond hope that she didn't act on those feelings she discovered were still there. This is a great story that pulled me in and wouldn't let go until the end. A sizzling romance that was steaming up the screen of my e-reader. I'm a new fan of this author and I can't wait to read more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Burn: Bad Boy Racing Romance (Fastlane Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sloan Storm Page; Review: Magnificent, arrogant and impossible is how I would describe Chance Vix. And sexy! Don't forget sexy! I do wish the author would've let us know a little more about Chance, the man, and a little less about the identical drama going on with sisters, Vivie and Camille and the men in their lives. And Camille's husband David? What happened to him to make him "all the sudden" want to kill his wife? I loved the actual story line but there were too many loose strings and for some characters, not enough information. Some things happened too quickly and some things not quickly enough. This book has another fantastic cover! Even though this is my least favorite in this series, I still can't wait to see what's next for this author!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Door (Part Two) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lizzy Ford Page; Review: Part two picks up with Gianna going back to New York, having to answer questions as to where she's been for the past 10 years. For Gianna, it had been six months but for her family and the rest of the world, it had been 10 years. Tired of the media attention G and her mom head back to Arizona. What they find when they get there will surprise you! This is an amazing sci-fi fantasy with a blossoming young romance running alongside. This two-part series has such an awesome story line. It grabbed me from the beginning and wouldn't let me go till the last page. I hope this author considers writing stories of other Caretakers in and out of this world.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Against the Wall: A Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jill Sorenson Page; Review: This is a second chance story. A second chance at life and at love. After doing three years in prison for manslaughter, Eric Hernandez is ready to start again. He soon realizes how difficult starting over will be. The most difficult is staying away from the woman he loves, Megan Young. He thinks she deserves more but she wants him...BAD! When his past threatens his future, Eric must make some important difficult decisions. This is a good read that kept my attention throughout. Eric's life outside of prison is the main focus, with the romance coming in second. I think the reader MUST remember that Eric is an ex-gang member and still carries that mentality. There's a huge shocker towards the end that involves Junior! I wasn't expecting that one!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: David: A Novella: Men of Mercy - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lindsay Cross Page; Review: Fabulous! I only wish it were longer.

I can't wait for the next book in this awesome series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wanting More (Love on Campus Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jessica Ruddick Page; Review: This is a geeky girl and the cool sorority guy romance. The story line was a good one and the writing was great. I was engaged in the story all the way through. I found that I didn't care for the judgmental attitude of Bri and Josh's father. I loved Josh's stepmom though. She was great!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Reckless River: Men of Mercy, Book 3 - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lindsay Cross Page; Review: Book three of the Men of Mercy series is about Jared Crow, Hoyt Crow and Sparrow. When all three were little, Sparrow had rescued the brothers and set them free. Their aunt had them locked away and was starving them. Now grown and members of Task Force Scorpion, Jared is out for revenge on those who wronged him and his younger brother when they were children. Going back to the mountain, the first person he ran into was Sparrow. Can he trust her after all these years or is she now loyal to his evil aunt, Miss Kay? One problem kept overshadowing this fantastic story. Jared couldn't make up his mind. One minute he loathes Sparrow and wants to choke her because he thought her responsible for injuring his brother. The next minute he couldn't keep his hands off her in a completely sexual way. Sparrow was flip-flopping the entire time too! I love the series and I'm a little disappointed in the fickleness of these two characters. Even so, I can't wait to read the next book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Raylan: A Novella: Men of Mercy - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lindsay Cross Page; Review: This is another delicious book in the Men of Mercy series. This story belongs to Raylan and Amber. He's sexy, adorable and he's got a huge surprise for her. If she would only give him a second chance his life would be close to perfect. Will she understand the reasons he ran? I love it when those big, gorgeous alpha men are on their knees begging for forgiveness. As always, I can't wait to read the next book in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

It's full of action, adventure and sexy alpha men. As always, I can't wait to see what's next for the Men of Mercy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Saving My Heart (Live & Love Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jenn Leigh Page; Review: 4.5 Stars This story is amazing! Cassie's past was loaded with painful mental and physical trauma. I don't think a better match for her could have been found than Noah. From the moment they met, he seemed to know what to say, what to do and how to act around her. It was beautiful to watch him coax her out of her shell and make her live again. The only problem I had was how her story was told in the beginning. It was a little confusing at first but eventually all the pieces fit together. Even though I had the one issue, I think this author tells an amazing tale and I can't wait to see what stories her future holds.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Darkside Sun (Mortal Machine Book 1) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jocelyn Adams Page; Review: Out of 5-stars, I give this one 10!!! BRILLIANT! This book encompasses everything I love to read. There's an amazing love story, forbidden love and so much angst it's chokingly real. There's mystery, suspense and a fantastic dose of paranormal sci-fi as a base behind it all. Once I started, I couldn't stop. The writing is FANTASTIC! . As the story progresses everything falls into place and every character has his/her/its role. It's beautiful and heartbreaking. The ending is a semi cliffhanger and left me breathless with my heart aching. I am left with a tremendous compulsion to continue on to the next book that is IMPOSSIBLE to ignore.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Falling for Her Bachelor (Palotays of Montana Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Robin Bielman Page; Review: Navy Firefighter, Nick Palotay is wonderful at those sexy, sarcastic comebacks. He's everything I expected and more. This "falling for her best friends brother" story is fun, sexy, witty and the setting was beautiful. I laughed and cried and wished I really knew these fabulous people. I loved how through it all, Nick and Cassidy could still joke and laugh with each other. At one point I actually felt Cassidy's heartbreak over Nick. Nick has endured his share of losses which is hard to move past. The misplaced guilt and the fear of putting someone else through that is overwhelming. The love these two felt for each other is the forever kind but the baggage in their way was too much. The one thing I wasn't expecting was the story of Cassidy's college boyfriend. HORRIBLE! I am NEVER disappointed by this author and the books she writes. FANTASTIC! I can't wait to see what's next.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Is this her chance to be with the one man she's loved and wanted since high school? Read on for the story of Amy and Ranger with a HUGE plot twist! This is an action packed, exciting read with a sexy soldier and the woman he's been in love with forever. It's shocking, heartbreaking and beautiful! 4 Stars Reckless River This is the story of Jared Crowe and Sparrow with a huge part of Hoyt Crowe's story too. When all three were little, Sparrow had rescued the brothers and set them free. Their aunt had them locked away, abused and starved them so she could be the next in line to inherit the mountain that their parents left to them. Now grown and members of Task Force Scorpion, Jared is out for revenge on those who wronged him and his younger brother when they were children. I love the series and this story is good but I'm a little disappointed in the fickleness of Jared and Sparrow. 5 Stars Ravaged River This story belongs to Hoyt Crowe and Hayden James. After the nightmare that has been Hoyt's life since his kidnapping and torture, how could he possibly continue to let Hayden believe he could still be a part of her life?

Title: The Fractured Heart: A smoldering, sexy tattoo romance (Second Circle Tattoos Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Scarlett Cole Page; Review: I loved Andrea "Drea" Caron and Brody "Cujo" Matthews story! She's smart, strong, sassy and has a heart of gold. He is sexy, a royal smart ass and pretty wise, as he has a partnership in everyone's business. Underneath all that macho alpha man stuff he's very tender, caring and knows what he's doing behind closed doors. They are perfect together. I know the story has to have more to it than their romance but I thought the mystery of the fracking in the Everglades was too complicated and detailed to make occasional appearances in the story line. Also, using it as an excuse for what she did, made me dislike Evelyn even more. With all that being said, I still LOVE Drea and Cujo! I can't wait to read the third book in the Second Circle Tattoos series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Let it Ride (Casino Nights Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Melanie Jayne Page; Review: This is the first short from the Casino Nights series. It stars Francesca Luchetti and Remington Cooper. He's been trying to get to know her for two years and finally they are at a convention together. Sparks fly between them but what happens when this convention is over? She goes back to Vegas and he goes back to Indianapolis? Story line is great and the steam level is high BUT I didn't like the way it slowly came to a stop at the end. I DEFINITELY WANT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK IN THIS SERIES...but...I expected a little bit more of an exciting end, considering all that happened at the convention.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The SEAL's Secret Lover: An Alpha Ops Novella - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Anne Calhoun Page; Review: The basis for the story is good but it was lacking in substance. Nothing exciting happened. There were no ups and downs, only a lot of history about Turkey. It was all one speed from beginning to end. Even the intimate moments between Keenan and Rose were without emotion. I don't even know how they fell in love. I love a good SEAL story, so I'm looking forward to book 2, hoping the story line content will improve.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The SEAL's Second Chance: An Alpha Ops Novella - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Anne Calhoun Page; Review: The story is about Navy SEAL, Jamie Hawthorn and women's basketball champion and high school coach, Charlie Stannard. Jamie's always wanted Charlie but she's always been more concerned with basketball, college and proving that she's nothing like her less than stellar mother. It's been 10 years since he seen her and he's tired of waiting to make her his. Jamie is a fantastic, larger than life Navy SEAL. I needed more emotions and more real reactions from Charlie. I feel like Charlie spoke in a monotone the entire story. In spite of this, the story line was great. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The SEAL's Rebel Librarian: An Alpha Ops Novella - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Anne Calhoun Page; Review: The second book of the Alpha Ops series is about Rose's brother, Jack, the Navy SEAL, and Erin, the Librarian. Both looking to fix whatever is wrong in their lives. Jack's trying to figure out how to fix the shakes he's experiencing in his hands, after his last mission. Erin's trying to learn how to live again on her own terms, after divorce. It was fun watching Erin learn to live again after her stifling divorce. What better way than to snag herself a gorgeous alpha man Navy SEAL! Jack is dark and brooding and it makes for some fiery bedroom play. Intensely HOT! I can't wait for the third book in the series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

They need to learn to trust in each other and in themselves, in their combined individual lives and in the Triad.

Now he's ready to settle down but she's not. I guess plans change! Another fabulous story written by Erin Nicholas. I LOVE visiting Sapphire Falls! The characters are always amazing with well written story lines. Bryan was a little stubborn in his way of thinking what Tessa needed or wanted but I'm impressed with Tessa. Even though she's the sweet, always willing to help everyone type, it didn't take much for her to tell Brian EXACTLY how she wanted it. He was a little shocked because he always thought she was sweet and virginal. I loved it! I ALWAYS love it here in Sapphire Falls! I can't wait to come back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Forever Begins With a Kiss: Chase and Mari's Wedding (Wardham Book 9) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Zoe York Page; Review: This is a sweet novella that shows us Chase and Mari shortly before and on their wedding day. They are such a cute couple and the loving is as HOT as ever! I guess Mari will remember to keep it in the bedroom from now on but you have to read this one to find out why. Audrey and Heath? I'm really not seeing a huge connection there. I guess I'll have to wait and see. And Sam? Big, huge questions about what's going on with him. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for answers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

They dared a very drunk Vanessa Lyle to kiss the boss, Quinn Alexander. She did and if her fuzzy memory serves, the Ice King, Mr. All work and no play, and Lord Demon, kissed her back. Someone took a video of the kiss and now they have some explaining to do...to his mother! The professional and personal personas these two show are like night and day. This was quite a welcome surprise because what they show behind closed doors is VERY different than what they show at the office. His family is great! His mother was so terrifically unexpected! You'll be surprised too! She's AWESOME! This is a funny, sexy shifter short and I can't wait to read more from this fantastic author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hold Me Down (The Deacons of Bourbon Street Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jackie Ashenden Page; Review: Fantastic MC romance! This is a great story packed with abandonment issues and because of that, traitor accusations, a friends to lovers romance, bad ass bikers and the women who love them. The love between Blue and Red is not without its potholes in the road but he fights as hard as he can to prove to her that he'll never leave her again. Is he willing to betray the MC he's given his life to? I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Both want each other but she thought he always wanted the women with perfect bodies, which she thought she didn't have. Since he discovered his feelings for Isabella, Corbin was afraid to ruin their longtime friendship. Maybe fate has other ideas? The sheets were on fire! Characters are well developed and the story line was smooth and complete. I can't wait to read more from this fantastic author. Originally reviewed for welovekink.com I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Bunny and Tank had a thing years ago and she broke his heart. He's still upset at the way she left but still loves her and will do anything to protect her and his family. One thing a reader needs to remember while reading MC Romance is that these men are not law-abiding citizens. They may love their women and their families but they do what they have to to stay living the life. This Book has a great story line and great characters. SIZZLING! Another fantastic short to add to a growing list of five star reviews. Originally reviewed for welovekink.com I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review.

Title: Crazy Love: A Crazy Series Short Story (The Crazy Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's A.D. Justice Page; Review: Without having read their first books, Crazy Maybe and Crazy Baby, I could tell you that Luke Woods loves Andi Morgan with a passion we only dream about. That's what this little short is about. He talks about her like nothing would exist if she weren't breathing. All this insight I got from these 32 pages. It's fabulous but not hardly enough. Can you imagine what reading the other books will be like? I MUST read the first two books!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Irrational (Underneath it All Series: Book Two) (An Alpha Billionaire Romance) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ava Claire Page; Review: Here we are back with Jackson and Sadie. Their continued series is everything I have come to expect from Ava Claire. Amazing!

I'm waiting impatiently for the next book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Julian (Hard Rock Star Series Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jade Allen Page; Review: This is book 3 in the Hard Rock Star series and it was much more than I was expecting. I loved it! Molly Riot was going on tour with Juniper Woolf. Julian had an issue with the lead singer of Juniper Woolf, Fran Chambers. Could they actually go on tour together without killing each other? Half a million dollars says he would sure try. True to form these are rock bands and they do work hard and play harder. I really enjoyed the non-sappy love story for a change. Julian and Fran just let things be what they would be. No sappy words or hearts and flowers. Just honest feelings with some amazing action in the closet, on the bed, in the rec room, against the wall. You get my meaning? Even though this book is shorter than a full length novel, it's definitely a complete story. I didn't feel cheated at all by the amount of pages. Well written! I can't wait for the next book in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Smolder: The Wildwood Series - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Karen Erickson Page; Review: 4.5 Stars This is book 2 in The Wildwood series and it stars Lane Gallagher and Delilah Moore. She's loved Lane since high school. She's thrown herself at him more times than she could count. He NEVER takes her up on it. She always says it's the last time...until the next time. When Lane discovers why he has all these issues with commitment, will it be too late to finally claim the woman he's always wanted but never felt good enough to have? The story line was great and the characters were well developed. Delilah is sweet, pretty and loves Lane with the passion but she also comes off as a little airhead-ish. Sure, she can cook and she owns her own dance studio but other than that, there's not much going on upstairs, between the ears. In my opinion, I would expect Lane to be with a stronger woman. Regardless, it is still a great story. I'm definitely looking forward to book 3 in this fantastic series. The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tempting Mr. Wrong (Wrong Man Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Kerri Carpenter Page; Review: Fantastic story! I truly enjoyed this book and highly recommend to any that love a good "falling for your best friends sister" romance. Only in this story the best friend, Chris, dies and leaves his daughter, Mya, with his younger sister, Carly, and calls upon his best friend, Lance, in a letter, to check up on them and help Carly with the house. The story is full of sorrow, possibilities, friendship, freedom and love. It has one of the cutest little girls in it and all she wants is a family again. It is well written and contains awesome characters. I can't wait to see if Adam gets his own story! The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: After We Fall: A Take the Fall Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Marquita Valentine Page; Review: 4.5 Stars This is book three in the Take the Fall series and it stars Hunter and Evangeline. Hunter used to live in Forrestville when he was a boy. After many years he's back and is now a police officer. He's actually one of the officers that found Evangeline walking down the beltway, beaten and bloody. It's been six months and he can't stop thinking about her. It's pure coincidence that they end up living across the hall from each other. Another great story! I think I'm in love with Hunter Sloan. Really! He's amazing in bed and out of it. He knows what she's been through and handles her with the care only a good man would do. This story is about two people trying to deal with their separate abusive pasts. The characters are well developed and real. Bravo Marquita Valentine, I'm hooked! I can't wait for the next book. The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kissing The Bride: A Small Town Romance (Stewart Island Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tracey Alvarez Page; Review: This is book 7.5 in the Due South series and it is perfect! I love Del and Shaye and any chance I get to revisit all the great characters in the Due South series, I will definitely take. It's a week before their wedding and she wants EVERYTHING perfect. She's become bridezilla with her wedding journal close at hand. What happens when a pesky and very large sea lion named Boris tries to ruin Shaye's wedding day? This story has the perfect amount of humor, so much love, great family and awesome friends. I love that this author writes her characters as real people in real life situations. The cover is exactly how I would have pictured Del and Shay. Bravo Tracey Alvarez! Way to keep the series fresh! Looking forward to whatever comes next!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Take the Fall: A Take the Fall Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Marquita Valentine Page; Review: This is book one in the Take the Fall series and I'm hooked! Seth O'Connor is flawed and beautiful. After EVERYTHING, all Rowan wants is her man but she learned early on that you don't always get what you want and things don't always make sense. It feels like I'm watching everything in this story unfold before my very eyes. Their struggles are real. Their stubbornness is real and ultimately, their love is real. At many times during the unfolding of their lives, I wanted to shake some sense into them. This is my first book by Marquita Valentine and I loved it! The characters are fantastic and the story line was great. I didn't want it to end. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: When We Fall: A Take the Fall Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Marquita Valentine Page; Review: I am fast becoming a HUGE fan of this amazing author. This is book two in the Take the Fall series and I loved it as much as the first one. Piper and Jase are the stars of this story. She's such a pleasant surprise. Her parents are horrible people! Timid and afraid to stick up for herself because of her upbringing but she's a quick learner. I was so proud of her. I adore the way she dresses because she doesn't have to look slutty to look sexy. She's classy with a thing for high, sexy shoes. He's the bad boy and she's the princess. He's never thought he was good enough for her. Especially after doing 7 years in prison. Opposite sides of the track and all that. No matter what he tries, Piper is bound and determined to show him that they belong together. Like book one, this story is real with fantastic characters. I loved seeing Rowan and Seth again. I hope everything works out for Emmet and I can't wait to read book 3. The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Full Coverage: Boys of Fall - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Erin Nicholas Page; Review: I love this series and I love the way this author writes small towns and the people that inhabit them. Nolan Winters was the nerdy guy from high school that left Quinn for more opportunities better suited to him. He returns to Quinn often to see is mother and he's an author who's writing a book about Coach Carr. Miranda Magnolia Doyle, otherwise known as Randi, was the high school cheerleader that loved Quinn, loved football and now owns a garage and is the best mechanic in five counties. She's sassy, sexy, and isn't afraid of her sexuality or her history with it. She's awesome! When he asks her to help him better understand football for his upcoming book about Coach Nicholas Carr, who knew where it would lead this unlikely pair. When I read the title of Nolan's self published book I got tears in my eyes. I don't know why but it was an emotional moment for me. It reminded me of the song and Midwestern small-town life. I loved it! I love the sense of community, family, the possibility of falling in love with that perfect someone and everybody in town knowing everybody else's business. THAT is Quinn, Texas! The writing is amazing as are the fabulous characters. Thank you Erin Nicholas for another 5 Star read from an extremely satisfied reader!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Irreplaceable (Underneath it All Series: Book Three) (An Alpha Billionaire Romance) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ava Claire Page; Review: I love the writing style of this author. Even though I was never a fan of shorts, I have come to love and anticipate her stories told in multiple short books. The story was good but fell short of being great. Jackson Colt and Sadie McLeod are amazing characters that deserved a little more of an in depth story. I did love the interaction with Sadie and her mother towards the end. This is the conclusion to their story but It feels incomplete in my opinion. Things were happening, feelings were being realized and then...it ended. Could this be another short story series in the future with this amazing couple? I sure hope so!!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Only His - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jenika Snow Page; Review: 4.5 Stars I love the writing style of this author. This dark romance has an extreme over-the-top alpha that is basically stocking his best friend/former stepdaughter because he needs to keep her safe. He's in love with her and she's in love with him but neither knows how each other feels. The sparks fly when the truth is revealed! This is another great short story by this amazing author. I can't wait to read more. Received a copy via welovekink.com. I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Painkiller - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jenika Snow Page; Review: 3.5 Stars This is a step brother romance. The bad boy and the nerdy, sweet girl. SIZZLING! It was a good quick read but I had a problem with one little detail in the story. They may both have been adults and 18 years old but they were still in high school. That's just a little too taboo for me. If that weren't the case, I could've enjoyed the story much more and it would've been a 5-star read. With that being said, I will still continue to enjoy the AMAZING short stories written by this author and I look forward to more in the future. Received a copy via welovekink.com.

Title: Sunset Reads: William & Cristina (A Sunset Reads Novel Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's D.C. Triana Page; Review: 4.5 Stars This story is fantastic! The characters are vibrant, outspoken and very well developed. This story has it all. There's a little mystery, suspense, fantastic friendships, family and a sizzling romance. Cristina totally surprised me. I first thought she was quiet and shy but that didn't last long. Her strong personality was shining through in no time. The story line progressed perfectly throughout and had the perfect amount of background information. I was sorry to see it end. I can't wait to see if other characters get their own stories. The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lock and Load (SEAL EXtreme Team Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Kimberley Troutte Page; Review: This SEAL Extreme Team Book 2 is about communications expert Charlie Handly and computer genius Amber Fitz. Their story about meeting online was great. What are the chances of meeting in real life by accident? Is it possible that the girl he knew as Hot Girl, could be a traitor? Fantastic mystery, suspense, HOT Navy SEALs and a steamy romance. What more could you ask for? As with every other book by this author, I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read what's next for this crazy cast of sexy SEALs. The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Melody of Truth (Love of a Rockstar Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Nicole Simone Page; Review: This was a sexy, sweet Romance about meeting the "one" truly meant for you. This author's perception of a rockstar was spot on and not at all over the top. This is a very enjoyable read! I can't wait to see what's next. I was not compensated for my review. The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Scarred - The Complete Series - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Kylie Walker Page; Review: WOW! It was like a movie playing in my head the entire time. Fantastic! I enjoyed each and every moment of this book/series. Kelly/Chloe is an amazing woman. The way she met Derek was odd. Each character in this book plays an important good or bad role in Chloe's life. All of them were well thought out. This is a perfectly put together story and I was sorry for it to end. I look forward to reading more from this fabulous author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Justice for Boone (Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Book 6) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Susan Stoker Page; Review: Another hit for Susan Stoker! Tackling the issue of domestic violence and with these specific circumstances was done brilliantly. Boone couldn't be more of a manly man and Hayden may be small but she's definitely mighty. They sure make a beautiful pair. These two were burnin' up the pages in this well written story line with all these amazingly well developed characters. BRAVO! I can't wait to see what's next for this fabulous author. I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed is my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Mate for the Savage - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jenika Snow Page; Review: 3.5 Stars This is a good quick read with a tiny bit of spice. Set in an alternate dimension where customs are a mixture of modern and caveman, Audrey finds herself held captive, escapes and is rescued by a man-beast who wants her as his mate. This is another great short by this fantastic author. Originally reviewed for WeLoveKink.com; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dirty Sexy Sinner (A Dirty Sexy Novel Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Carly Phillips Page; Review: I love them! And yes...all four of them. Jackson is truly a Dirty Sexy Sinner! That mouth of his can set quite the scene. As long as Tara doesn't let her past take over her future, she will be a very lucky woman for the rest of her life. This is an amazing story full of love, loss, guilt, family, moving on and new beginnings. Magnificent! This has been a fabulous series and I can't wait to see what this dynamic duo will come out with next!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unbridled (Lone Star Lovers Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Delilah Devlin Page; Review: 4.5 Stars This is book one in the Lone Star Lovers series and it features Dani Standifer, Rowan Ayers and Justin Cruz. I think this whole story was about showing Justin that he doesn't always have to be hard. He's worthy of the love of a good woman and of a good man. Neither are going to judge him or leave him for past indiscretions. It's a story of three people that discovered life is better when the three of them are sharing it together. It's also the first of its kind of relationship in their small Texas ranching town. Delilah Devlin does it again! Great story! Crazy HOT ménage a trois with two sexy Cowboys and the woman neither wants to live without. I can't wait for book two.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unforgiven (Lone Star Lovers Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Delilah Devlin Page; Review: 4.5 Stars This is book 2 in the Lone Star Lovers series and this one features Cutter Standifer and Katie Grissom. These two share a past full of love and betrayal. I was shocked when they met at the wedding and what transpired between them. I didn't think he could be so cruel to her. Then the agreement. WHAT? I thought it was perfect that it was Dani that helped her in the store. I'm glad I got to see Justin try to right some of his past wrongs. He really is a changing man. The one thing I LOVE in a good book is to witness the "AHA!" moment of the main characters. This story had a great "AHA!" moment. This is another fabulous story by this amazing author. Looking forward to book 3.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Breaking Leather (Lone Star Lovers Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Delilah Devlin Page; Review: 4 Stars Book 4 in the Lone Star Lovers series features those all too sexy Kinzie brothers and the woman of their dreams, Chrissi Page. Not only are they sexy but smart and way too confident. Chrissi never had a chance. The story line was great until the end. I didn't like it when Shanna and Bo entered the story. I can't wait for book 5!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Four-Gone Conclusion (Lone Star Lovers Book 5) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Delilah Devlin Page; Review: This is book 5 in the Lone Star Lovers series and it features the Logan brothers, Johnny, Killian, Jason and Mace. It also features Ellie Harker. I could see the connection with Ellie and Johnny and maybe a shred of a connection with Killian but I didn't understand why the twins were even in the story. Anyways, there wasn't a whole lot of romance going on. It started with the sex and worked backwards from there. The activity was utterly delicious but the story line lacked any sort of substance. As this is obviously not my favorite book in the series, I'm still looking forward to the next one.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Family Values (Lone Star Lovers Book 8) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Delilah Devlin Page; Review: This is book 8 in the Lone Star Lovers series and it features ranchers, Brand, Nate and Eli MacAfee and housekeeper's daughter, Angelina Flores. I could feel the emotion while reading this story. I was surprised by Mama Amelia's reaction towards the whole situation. Brand struck me as the most sincere, the most in love and the most likely to stick around for the long run. These four are the most unconventional of all the unconventional relationships in this little Texas town of Two Mule. Not complicated, just different. I do believe I've found a new favorite in this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wicked Pleasure: Part 2 (Bound Hearts) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lora Leigh Page; Review: This is part 2 of book 9 of the Bound Hearts series and it is the continuing story of Cam and Jaci. Things are moving along for these two. Cam is afraid Chase will start to figure out his deepest secrets via their twin bond. Excellent story line! Lora Leigh is definitely a one- click author for me. Don't forget to read part three of this fabulous book to see what happens to Cam and Jaci next.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wicked Pleasure: Part 3 (Bound Hearts) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lora Leigh Page; Review: This is the conclusion to book 9 in the Bound Hearts series. What a twisted and fabulous ending. Shocking surprises, secrets revealed and a few questions arise regarding other characters. Do not miss this one! Fantastically well developed characters and a story line that keeps you guessing until the end. I'm very much looking forward to the next book in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wicked Pleasure: Part 1 (Bound Hearts) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lora Leigh Page; Review: This is part 1 of book 9 in the Bound Hearts series and it features twins, Cam and Chase Falladay and Jaci Wright. From the beginning Cam was her protector. When he was ready to end his tragic life, she was there asking him to wait for her to grow up. Now she's all grown up and he's ready. Will she be able to accept HIS way of loving her? Fantastic! And this is only the first part! Don't forget to read part 2 and 3.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Full Contact: A Worth the Fight Novel (Worth the Fight series Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sidney Halston Page; Review: This is book two in the Worth the Fight series and it features MMA fighter/trainer Slade Martin and bartender Jessica Cross. I love their romance. They have a great friendship. They make each other laugh and just generally have a good time together. Their relationship is sweet and scorchingly sexy. As soon as she got out of the hospital, he stopped being a man-whore and devoted his time to taking care of her. They would soon testify against her ex for beating her up which is where the story takes a different path. It gets intensely emotional and my heart hurt for these two. Great story line with AWESOME characters! I'm loving this series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stacked Up: Worth the Fight Series - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sidney Halston Page; Review: This is the sixth and final book in the fabulous Worth the Fight series, and it features and MMA fighter Travis Calhoun and bartender Penny Richards. She's in hiding because having a baby out of wedlock is a HUGE no no for the daughter of a famous evangelical tv personality. For a year she's been in Tarpon Springs, FL trying to resist the charming MMA fighter. Travis is a part of a reality TV series, featuring MMA fighters and she was photographed kissing him, which alerted EVERYONE as to her whereabouts. This is where the chaos begins. I understand why he never wanted to be a father. It really breaks my heart but seeing him with Belle is just too cute for words. Travis and Penny are just two people, that if they could get over all their hangups, what they shared would be insanely beautiful...and sexy. Let's not forget how HOT they are together! I've loved every one of the books in this series and I'm sad to see it end. Watching all these alpha men go after the women that are destined to be theirs has been fun and exciting! Bravo Sidney Halston! Great story lines with loyal and loving characters.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blurred Lines: A 3-part Military Romance (Point of Contact Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Calinda B Page; Review: Aphrodite 4.5 Stars WOW! I felt like I was there watching it all unfold. Is there a stronger word for sexy? That's what this book is. Fantasy inducing. Adonis 4.5 Stars He's pretty kinky but I understand the need he has to do it the way he does. He's very creative and at the same time, my heart breaks for him. Aphrodite and Adonis 5 Stars This story is SUPER sexy with more depth than I expected. This is definitely one of those stories that leaves you begging for more. I have to read the rest of the series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Running Wild: A Second Shot Novella - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sara Jane Stone Page; Review: This is a brief glimpse into the beginning of this fantastic series, A Second Shot, and it features Noah Tager and his best friend's sister, Josie Fairmore. He was leaving for boot camp in the morning. All he wanted was to see her ride the mechanical bull. WOW! That was the sexiest bull ride I ever had the pleasure to watch. These two are HOT, HOT, HOT! Turn the fan on high because you'll need it after reading this one. I can't wait to read the rest of their story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mixing Temptation: A Second Shot Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sara Jane Stone Page; Review: 4.5 Stars This is book 4 in the Second Shot series and it features Josh Summers and Caroline Andrews. Josh has to be the sweetest, most patient man I've ever known and is a gorgeous ginger! He's giving her time. She's been through a lot and it's not over yet. His way of doing that is baking her pies and taking them to her so they can spend time together while they eat pie. Clever man! Fantastic story line with amazing, well developed characters. I am definitely looking forward to more books in this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Scorch (Firefighters of Montana Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Dani Collins Page; Review: Yes! What a fantastic read. This is book 2 in The Firefighters of Montana series and it features Jacqui Edwards and Vin Kingston. The chemistry between these two is off-the-charts HOT! Everything they did, whether it was talking, fighting, or something more intimate, was done with a gripping intensity that sucked you in to the scene. Each of their issues were so different from the other but equally emotional. Great story with awesome characters! I can't wait to read about more of these amazing firefighter; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ignite (Firefighters of Montana Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Nicole Helm Page; Review: 4.5 Stars I am loving these firefighters! This is book 3 in The Firefighters of Montana series and it features Ace Clark and Lina McArthur. This book was written a little different than the first two in this series. Ace's firefighting job is not the base of this story line. It played quietly in the background while his past crept into his present. Lina is a great character. She was strong and she knew the only way to find herself was to move away from her overpowering family. This story was about facing the past and moving on. I'm looking forward to reading book four.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sold to the Berserkers: A Menage Shifter Romance - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lee Savino Page; Review: This is book one in the Menage Shifter Romance series and it features Samuel, Daegen and Brenna. Just as the runes foretold she was their mate but she was human. She wouldnt be able to take the mating bite and live. She soothed the wolf and the beast and they would love and keep her forever regardless. These two were as gentle as a couple of berserkers could be. They truly believe she was their salvation but in the end, they had some doubts. This book was about the three of them getting to know each other, easing some fears and raising other doubts. It was also scorching HOT! I cant wait to read book two!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Where There's Smoke (The Cowboy Way Book 6) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Becky McGraw Page; Review: I am thoroughly in love with Austin McBride! This is book 6 in The Cowboy Way series and it features Austin McBride and Sunny Gleason. I loved the conflict between them. It was amazing how much he helped her, in spite of her prickly personality and awful attitude. Hes an honorable cowboy who happens to be a fantastic firefighter and an amazing lover, according to Sunny. Great book! Great characters! This story snared me from the first to the last page. I love it when I get so into a story that I hate to leave the characters and the town. This is my first book in this series and I cant wait to read the rest.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cupid's Cowboy (Cowboy Way Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Becky McGraw Page; Review: 3.5 Stars This is book 4 in the Cowboy Way series and it features Leigh and Jase . I love the story line but I did not fall in love with the characters. The story line felt like it was on fast-forward the whole time. Jase was great except when he got mad at Leigh. His temper was a little out of control and I thought, just for a minute, that maybe he was going to be too rough with her. I also did not like the awful way Leo treated Leigh. He was supposed to be her father but evidently he didn't know how to do that. Even Bobby was a little scandalous leaving the mic on. This was a super fast paced cowboy romance with a fabulous epilogue that had steam rising from my e-reader.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crazy Dumplings II: Even Dumplinger - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Amanda Roberts Page; Review: This is a great collection of dumpling recipes. Many recipes I wouldnt even think were dumpling fillings but this author has put it together and made them sound so delicious that I want to try them. There are some very interesting recipes in this book. Some are a little too out there for me personally but Im sure someone will want an enchilada dumpling or a guacamole dumpling.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Reckless Rendezvous (Reckless Beat Book 6) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Eden Summers Page; Review: This is book 4.5 in the Reckless Beat series and it features Leah, Logan and a little bit of everyone else. I could feel Leahs emotions as if I were living them. BRILLIANT! I cried for her interpretation of the three birds tattoo. Logans unexpected need was a beautiful surprise and it made me shed a few more tears for them both. I was also SUPER surprised at his unusual piercing. Curiouser and curiouser... I am in love with the intense, raw emotions of this story line and because of this I was OK with the unfinished ending. It means I can come back and visit these amazing characters ONE. MORE. TIME. This author did an outstanding job at writing Leahs emotional journey. Her story is not over yet, so get ready for book 5!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Kindle_Store |

Title: On The Road CD Unabridged; Author: Visit Amazon's Jack Kerouac Page; Review: On the Road is a very entertaining book created by a true literary icon. It had me laughing, scratching my head perplexed at times and reminiscing about my own restless youth. The book put me into a different place and time, in my opinion, a gentler - simpler time. After all, the adventures of Sal Paradise and cohorts would never be possible in the hardened, distrustful and paranoid world we presently possess. On the Road was a welcome retreat from my cares and worries.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Evelyn, After: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Victoria Helen Stone Page; Review: I don't know if this story was taken from someone's actual life experience, but I suspect it must of.

Title: Sophist; Author: Plato; Review: Boolean thought at its best. I recommend Plato to any thinker who will marvel at his stands of logic. And how little the human condition has changed in over 2000 years.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: AFTERLIFE; Author: Visit Amazon's Marcus Sakey Page; Review: Maybe it is just me, but I've lost close friends and my fiance at a young age to tragic circumstances. I hate to think of their souls sharing an afterlife the likes of Brody's. Or their souls being devoured by "Eaters." So, besides being personally troubled by this book's premise, I found it to be formulaic and less than average. Sure the author turned a clever phrase or two, but there is much more to great literature than that. They want to make a movie of it. Geesh, what have we come to? Frankly, there are many books out today much more deserving of such attention; however, they never receive it. Sorry, I had to give up on this underwhelming book before finishing it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Odyssey of Homer; Author: Visit Amazon's Homer Page; Review: This work is a classic, of course. It is written in a way that is different than what we've become accustomed to; that too is clear. It is so refreshing to read a book like that. The typical formulaic approach we see in today's books is absent as is the bad language and poor use of English. The book is not for the simple-minded. That said, I wish there were more people who could truly appreciate a classic like this.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Castigo Cay; Author: Visit Amazon's Matthew Bracken Page; Review: The book is not so much about Cory, Brooke, and Dan. Rather, it is a near future dystopia about the seedy, greedy corporate/ government cronies bent on ruining our freedoms. Heed its message!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: God, Faith, and Reason; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Savage Page; Review: Like Dr. Savage, I too have experienced glimpses of God; however, I have never seen Him directly. I too have experienced many moments doubting His divine existence. Also, like the author, I am a student of science. Blinded by logic, some scientists would insist upon the non-existence of God. In response to this Dr. Savage has successfully shown the bridge between God, faith, and reason (or logic). Another aspect of the book I love is his timeless stories; they bring me back to my time spent as a youth in the Bronx. However, you needn't be from New York to enjoy this book. I highly recommend it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Way Of The Shadow Wolves: The Deep State And The Hijacking Of America; Author: Steven Seagal; Review: I wish there was an option for three and a half stars, because this wasn't a poorly written book. But it did kind of lose me toward the end. The one thing that I agree with completely is the book's message. Seagal and Morrissey did there level best to warn us about the Deep State and New World Order--both entities that have intimate connections to Islamic radicalism and terror. I relate to the message 100%. From a literary standpoint, I just wish the book had a stronger ending; that's all. I'd still recommend this book; especially, to people who need to get shaken awake from their nave political slumber.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Dead Space 3 Limited Edition; Brand: by
Electronic Arts; Review: I have been following Dead Space since the first game and this by far is truly the grand finale. I cannot think of anything that could make this game better. The gameplay has militant styles of combat as well as the intense fight for your life combat we saw in the beginning of the trilogy; both a great variation. The plot in this game versus the first and second one is amazing in comparison. The tension built between characters and situations throughout the course of the game makes the play through and completion even more satisfying. If the game was not so gore-ridden and horrendously scary I would recommend it to everyone!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW! - Collector's Edition; Brand: by

Title: Need for Speed Rivals (Complete Edition) - PlayStation 3; Brand: by
Electronic Arts; Review: Cars are great, driving is fluid and the map is pretty good. I DON'T like that there are many weapons police and racers can use, it becomes more of a battle royale. It gets really annoying "fighting off" other cars. If there wasn't this fighting element I would've rated it 5 stars; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Video_Games |

Title: 3.5mm Audio Y Splitter Cable for Speaker and Headphones; Brand: uxcell; Review: The product arrived on time and packaging was great. Unfortunately the product is of poor quality and seems to have an intermittent short-circuit / bad connection somewhere. There is intermittent 'scratching' and 'crackling' that spoils the listening experience. When plugging in two stereo headphones the sound either comes out mono through the two headsets, or else sound only plays through one of the earphones of each headset. This also is an intermittent problem. I suppose this is not surprising considered the low price of the product and the fact that it comes from China... Buyer beware! This product is not worth buying! A wast of money for sure.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Bluetooth Speakers, Alpatronix AX440 30W Ultra Portable Bluetooth Wireless Stereo HD Speaker w/Loud, Powerful Bass, USB Flash Drive Support; Brand: Alpatronix; Review: Bluetooth Speakers, Alpatronix AX440 30W Ultra Portable Bluetooth Wireless Stereo HD Speaker w/Loud, Powerful Bass, USB Flash Drive Support & PowerBank Perfect for Beach, Pool, Golf & Home - Black This is an amazing speaker! We love it. We bought the Alpatronix AX440 30W Ultra Portable Bluetooth Wireless Stereo HD Speaker because our TV has issues with base and with dialog being to soft compared to the music/sound effects. The Alphatronix perfectly fixed all these issues. We now have great base and clear dialog. We are watching all our favorite movies over again and thanks to the Alphatronix speaker we are enjoying perfect family movie nights! The only issue we seem to be having is that we only have 1 Alphatronix speaker! LOL! The wife and the kids are constantly hooking it up to their electronics to listen to their shows or music. We have been able to connect the Alphatronix speaker to ALL our devices, either through Bluetooth or via the 3.5mm aux audio cable. The Alphatronix speaker connects to both out TVs, my LG cellphone, the wife's Samsung phone and tablet, the daughter's iPhone, the son's Kindle Fire, my tablets, the laptop, etc. etc. Yeah, we are going to have to buy a 2nd Alpatronix AX440 30W Ultra Portable Bluetooth Wireless Stereo HD Speaker! The rechargeable battery is awesome and lasts very long. We use the Alphatronix speaker all day long, and despite the heavy use we put it through, we only charge it about once every 5 days. Amazing. This has been the best electronics by we have made this year! When we compared products we decided to buy the bigger Alphatronix speaker because we wanted good sound. We are very happy with the sound quality - there is a lot of base, and the sound is crisp and clear. We were not very concerned about portability, waterproof resistance or rugged durability as we use our Alphatronix speaker indoors or on the patio. Nonetheless, this speaker has a build in handle and is easily carried around. It seems robust enough for everyday use and has even survived a fall off the table onto the deck. We would definitely recommend the Alpatronix AX440 30W Ultra Portable Bluetooth Wireless Stereo HD Speaker.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Addis Regency Hotel; City: Addis Ababa; Review: We had a pleasant stay at Addis Regency hotel. It is located in a quite area, near Piazza, St. George cathedral and the National Museum (walking distance). We found it convenient. The hotel room was small and basic but clean, and it has also wifi internet connection. The staff was nice and helpful. The breakfast was OK but a few dishes to choose (the third day we were a bit tired of eating the same...). The transport from/to the airport was free.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lake Victoria Hotel; City: Entebbe Central Region; Review: The hotel is nice and specially I enjoyed the swimming pool. The rooms are clean. There is no wifi at the rooms, only cable connection which is very slow. The staff is very slow (room service, reception, cashier, restaurant...). The food is quite good. From my experience it's a bit expensive for what is offered.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Taye Belay Hotel; City: Gonder Amhara Region; Review: The location of the hotel is excellent, near the main touristic attractions. The view from the top floor balconies is great, I really enjoyed it. The room and bathroom were nice and spacious, but the bed was not too comfortable. There is WiFi connection only at the lobby. There isn't elevator, and just from the street to the reception there are two floors and then to the rooms one or two more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Ji Hotel Shanghai Jingan Kangding Road; City: Shanghai; Review: The room was nice furnished and was very confortable, however it had an annoying smell of cigarette smoke.

There are some nice restaurants just across the street and convenience stores nearby.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dhow Inn; City: Paje Zanzibar Island Zanzibar Archipelago; Review: This is a very nice and quite hotel. It is perfect if you are looking for a relaxing place to enjoy the amazing beach of Paje. Apart from a private area in the beach, the hotel has nice areas with swimming pools. We had a very pleasant stay. In general, it's a good and clean hotel. However, the service could improve, e.g. we had to ask 2 or 3 times every time we needed an extra towel or some shower gel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Media One Hotel Dubai; City: Dubai Emirate of Dubai; Review: It's a great hotel, with very nice, clean and comfortable rooms. The breakfast buffet was delicious and the pool is a beautiful place to relax. All the staff I dealt with were very friendly. I also liked that it's within walking distance from the train/metro station and the Marina. The only problem for me was the noise at night, especially during weekends (Thursday and Friday night). I could hear loud music from my room until 2 or 3 am. I really felt that it's a hotel for young people.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rija Domus Hotel; City: Riga Riga Region; Review: The location was nice in the heart of the old town, with many restaurants, bars and touristic attractions nearby. However, our room was a bit noisy as it was next to the street. When we booked the room, we specially requested a large double bed, but instead we had two small beds in the room. The staff promised to fix it for two nights in a row, finally the third night they just put a sheet in the middle, which was not ideal. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable. The breakfast was poor.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Wishing Well; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Have been a bunch of times and have had nothing but great service, good food, and great beer. It's a more inventive menu than most pubs, and it's nice to have some variety in both the food and drink area. Great staff and very clean, which is a big plus for me. Sure, they have a few kinks to work out, but I'm happy to say I'll keep going back until they get it just right. For now, it's pretty damn close.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Black Sheep Pub & Restaurant; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: So, I usually like Black Sheep. I think they have a slightly above-average menu and they have that cute hostess with the tiny hats and the beer selection isn't bad. But then, I met Michael. He was our server the other day. And he was surly in a sarcastic way that made it difficult to tell if he was a tool, or if he was just joking. But, eventually, it became pretty clear: Michael is just an outright dick. He was slow to serve, but fast to remind us that "the check is there. In case you were waiting for it. I already dropped it off" about 5 minutes after he had ostentatiously dropped it off. When we began the process of paying, he dropped by to challenge us "keep it to one transaction. I haven't had less than 4 cards per table all night" despite the fact that we already had two cards out on the table. When he came back, he grabbed the cards (only 2!). And then he went quiet. He brought back our slips with no thank you, no have a good night, no nothing. So we signed, tipped, and left. I get it. It's a tough job. I've done it and I sympathize. But as as server, you don't get to DEMAND sympathy. Appreciate it when it happens. And when it doesn't, shrug and smile. Bottom line is I'm not 15. So, I don't expect to be treated like I've never been to a restaurant without my mommy and daddy before. For now, Michael alone wasn't enough to stop me from going there. But here's a word of warning: if you walk in there and are sat in the section of a dude who looks like a brokedown Will Ferrell, ask to be moved -- or get ready to spar, if that's what you're into.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Plume Salon; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: UGH. SO CUTE. Decor -- cute. Little thrift shop rack -- cute. Receptionist -- cute. Jeni -- cutest. So fun and laid back and Jeni did a great job.

Title: New South China; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The "nice"-ish way to say that New South China sucks: I live directly across the street from this place and gladly, regularly pay delivery and tip to a driver from Green Garden instead. I literally won't even cross the street to eat their food. I don't know. Doesn't taste fresh. Does taste greasy. I'm not into it!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Green Garden; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The converse to my feelings about New South China: Green Garden is great! They are so nice on the phone. Drivers are so polite. Food is always on time and good -- fresh, hot, and they've never screwed up any of my orders. Nothing groundbreaking, but definitely a strong go-to for delivery. Especially when you live across the street from a do-not-go-to.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Deluxe Hair Salon; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: This is tricky because I had a pretty lame experience AT Deluxe, but my haircut turns out to be awesome. So... I had to wait half an hour for my appt. to start, and I had a busy day. No one was apologetic or attentive at all. I know people get behind, but had they asked, I could have told them I didn't have time to wait. They didn't ask, I couldn't find them, so, I waited. I did get an awesome head massage/shampoo. And then I sat down in Matt's chair. He was quiet and dismissively apologetic about the wait, but we got down to business. I get the feeling I would like him outside of that setting, and he was perfectly pleasant and not over-talky, which I like. I had to leave before any kind of styling/blowdry, so I didn't know how it had gone, really. Fast forward a week to a wedding I was in. I ran out of time to do my hair, owing to vast amounts of time devoted to bride-pampering. Luckily, my haircut was good enough that I didn't need to style my hair -- AT ALL. I washed it, I put in some shine stuff, and that's all there was time for. It was shiny, bouncy, and the curl looked great. Matt did a great job. Will I go back? Probably not while there's still Plume...but if I were in a bind, it's a good back-pocket option. So, YAY to Matt, BOO to front-of-house.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Jet Wine Bar; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Was all excited for Jet to open because I live like a block away and, let's face it, despite the inevitable charms of Bob & Barbara's, this street needed at least one "nice" option. Having been once so far, I will say my wine (as well as the boyf's) was very good. The cheeseplate was okay -- think they might want to tweak the presentation/serving ware. Seemed like it was tough for the (very nice) bartender to put down without dumping cheese all over me, but he managed. But I digress -- my major issue, and I CAN'T believe no one has commented on this, is that Jet has the cheesiest brand identity I've seen in a long time. From the logo to the lighting. The cartoon people? The blue lights? I just can't. It's a little try-too-hardy and a little awkward. So, as excited as I am by the idea of this place in the neighborhood, as sure as I am that I'll go back, and as cool as I think the concept is, I doubt this will become a go-to. If I wanna sip wine and eat fancy cheese, I wanna feel cool doing so (stupid as it sounds) and it didn't happen for me at Jet.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Ivens Bronstein Veterinary Hospital; City: Ardmore, PA; Review: I've been a client at Ivens for years and, while I agree with some posters that the building could use some updates, I can't agree with anyone who faults Ivens on their customer service. The money that's saved from cosmetic updates is put toward employing caring staff who make it their business to really look after your animals the way they would their own pets. I have never been treated with anything less than utmost respect and I expect nothing less than exceptional medical care for my animals while they are boarding or being examined at Ivens. While some other commenters may doubt the "expertise" of the staff at Ivens, I have to say that I respect the opinions, advice, and guidance given to me by any of the staff there--from vet tech to doctor to office manager--because, truly, any staff member with enough experience and care can give an "expert" opinion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beauty Is Salon; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I decided it was time to get my color done--6 months before my wedding and after 8 years of doing absolutely nothing but trimming my ends. When my salon closed and I looked up my previous salon--they were also temporarily closed! But they directed customers to Beauty Is and I'm SO happy they did! Rochelle did wonders with my color--with a gorgeous balayage color that looks noticeable and different without being overly fake-looking or drastic. She also did a great job with giving me a true "trim" without taking off too much length leading up to my wedding. Since I first went to see Rochelle, she's become my go-to girl--she keeps my color on point and did a great job when I decided to get bangs, too. Plus, she's a lot of fun to hang out with. Can't recommend Rochelle--and Beauty Is--enough!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Mills House Wyndham Grand Hotel; City: Charleston South Carolina; Review: The Mills House is located in a fantastic spot; it is within walking distance to much of downtown Charleston. Pros: - Great location. Can't be beat. - Very cozy dining area outside of the restaurant/lounge, with fountain, etc. Nice plan to have a drink after the sun goes down. - Great bartender at the Barbados lounge. - Poogan's Porch is right across the street - it is a fantastic restaurant. Cons: - Rooms are quite small. We were on the 7th floor, in a 2 bed room, and there wasn't much room for anything else. The beds were doubles as well. - Concierge desk - not helpful or friendly. When asked for advice on whether certain ghost tours and carriage tours were better than others, the most he could muster is a wave to the brochures. - Parking is a premium - $20/day for the parking garage attached via walkway to hotel. - The hotel had an odd natural gas smell in the lobby and bar.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ocean Reef Resort; City: Myrtle Beach South Carolina; Review: I should start off by saying that Myrtle Beach is not a great place. It's seedy, kitschy, and you don't feel altogether safe with children. I'd recommend going to many parts of Florida, California, or Texas before Myrtle Beach. With that said...Ocean Reef was a decent resort. We'd probably stay there again if the price was right, but would definately consider alternatives. We had an ocean front 2 bedroom suite (Junior Executive Suite in their terminology). They have a decent slide (3 story), a smallish lazy river, 3 hot tubs, and a few pools. Pros: - The suite was more than enough room for our family. We could put the 1 year old on one side for his naps and night time, and we could hang out on the other side. - The view was beautiful. - My daughter loved the slide. - It was a fairly quiet hotel. I'm not sure if that was because we were on the 16th floor on the ocean front side or not, but I am always concerned about loud noises keeping me awake, but I was pleasantly surprised here. - There is a Food Lion a few blocks away for groceries, and there is a Starbucks a block away. Cons: - Parking is a mess. - You probably will have no luck checking in early than 3 PM. - Only one outside bar. - The outside lunch/bar system is setup in the most confusing way possible. - If you are looking for the hub-bub of Myrtle, it's quite a drive away. - Front desk staff was not the friendliest around. - The hotel definately could use some TLC. Carpet was shabby in the room, knobs fell off the dressers, tables and lamps were probably 30 years old.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Chicago; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: Visit was for entertainment. Lobby was decorated nicely. Room (2 double bed) left a lot to be desired. Furnishings were outdated. Fan in bathroom did not work. Temperature controls did not work. They also charge for holding your bags, which is something I've never seen. I realize you tip the bell hop for this service, but being charged $2 per bag just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Pool and workout areas are very nice, however, both close at 9 PM.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Clearwater East Icot Center; City: Clearwater Florida; Review: We stayed here while waiting for a flight the next morning. There's not much good I can say about the room. There was a smell to the room - old cigarettes mixed with very high humidity. I was allergic to something in the room - I sneezed all night and the next day. The room was very noisy as well - you could hear every door in the hallway on your floor and the one above. Important notes: * If you have an early flight (which, if you are flying Allegiant, you probably do): breakfast doesn't start until 6 AM, and the shuttle to the airport doesn't start until 8 AM. * The pool is outside.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Disney s Wilderness Lodge; City: Orlando Florida; Review: The good: * Very impressively designed. * Pool was great for little ones. They even have a slide! * With MagicBands, everything is convenient - one thing to keep track of to open your room, get into the park, and make purchases. * Rooms are clean and fun. The bad: * Restaurants often close before parks close. * The wait for & boat ride to/from the park can be a little long after walking all day. Overall: I would highly recommend!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Magnuson Hotel Papago Inn; City: Scottsdale Arizona; Review: The hotel amenities were OK, and the breakfast was OK, but I was very disappointed in our check in. We arrived late, although we did have a credit card on file. After we got to our room we realized they switched us (w/o informing us) to a different room - one with one bed and a sofa bed instead of two beds. In addition, there were no sheets in the room for the sofa bed. I called the front desk to complain, but they said there were no other rooms, and at this point we were so tired I let it go. I would never recommend a place that switches a guaranteed credit card reserved room to a lesser room.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch; City: Scottsdale Arizona; Review: Very cozy resort. Lots of places throw "resort" in their title but are no such thing. This place fits the bill. Numerous pools to chose from, 3 restaurants, live music, decent bars. We were there with a 6 year old and a 14 year old and both found things to do.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Country Inn Suites by Radisson Cedar Falls IA; City: Cedar Falls Iowa; Review: This was maybe the noisiest hotel I've stayed at. The doors didn't shut - they slammed, and people kept it up all night long, until well past midnight. The floors were not insulated at all, and I could hear everything in the room above us (my request for a top floor room was not honored). At one point, there was a particularly loud ruckus so I opened our door and found teenage boys wrestling outside our door. Trust me, if you like your hotel quiet, do not stay here!! Note, although plenty of reviews mention the highway right outside the hotel, I didn't notice much, if any, noise from the highway. The hotel pool was frigid as well. This doesn't particularly bother me, and the hot tub was an OK temperature, but my 6 year old was bummed. Odds and ends: Breakfast was adequate, and the staff working the dining room were pleasant and attentive. Fireplace in the lobby was a nice plus with the weather outside in the 20's. Check in staff (late check in) were somewhat brisk. Overall, I did not get a good night of sleep, and was not satisfied with the hotel, particularly considering the price point was higher than I would expect for a comparable hotel.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Curse of the Lonesome Mariner (Part 1); Author: Mark Green; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: This review is for all three parts! I read this book on the back of The Travel Auction, which was as funny as it was unusual. This book is very different and, in many ways much better. I wasn't sure about the first few seafaring pages, but don't let this put you off. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but this is the story of a physical journey and a psychological one. On the surface it's about a man making a trip to see his dying father with a mad pooch on board, however it is so much more than that. It's a story of battling old and new demons in addition to living with and through disibilities - leading to final acceptance. Now in writing terms that's not easy to pull off and with nearly a laugh in each page. Mark Green you made me laugh and you very nearly made me cry so well done.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Nurse's War (Daisy's War - Book 2); Author: Merryn Allingham; Genres: ; Review: The Nurse's War is the sequel to The Girl from Cobb Street by Merryn Allingham, which I read as a stand alone novel. However Ms Allingham has weaved a closely knit story that cleverly entwines the key points from book one for this not to matter too much. The first story explodes with a flash of intrigue and suspense with student nurse Daisy Driscoll being chased on her way home from work and sets both the pace and tone for this romance/suspense. Daisy's husband is presumed dead, but is he? Who's walking in her shadow just out of sight and just where does India and Japan come into it? Set in war torn London The Nurses War portrays the lives of normal working people during the Blitz. It evokes long lost memories of a crumbling city and the harrowing times that were suffered by many with both fortitude and determination. From taking shelter miles underground in tube stations to using Elastoplast to patch shoes together this is a book that will long remain in the memory for both it's setting, powerful writing and fast paced plot line. I look forward to Ms Allingham's next book; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Doris Day Vintage Film Club; Author: Fiona Harper; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: I have to admit that I chose this book for both the amazing cover and book title alone and had no idea as to what I was letting myself in for. Do you remember that movie 'What Women Want?' The Doris Day vintage film club is like that, but without the magic tricks. Ms Harper is very talented at creating believable, three dimensional characters, often the most difficult achievement for a writer. Claire is a very modern woman on the face of it, but her life is built on poor relationships and faulty life choices. Through the medium of film we learn about why she has ended up living alone in her grand mother's flat, with only her weekly film club meetings to look forward to - That is until she meets Nic. Nic freely admits that he is rubbish at relationships and it hurts. All his friends are happily married and here he is a lonely bachelor living a very lonely life. The characterisation of Nic is pure genius. He is everyone's brother, son and husband. The universal bloke until he meets his match, which he does in Claire. I will happily add Ms Harper to my list of writers to follow. Additional Questions; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: How I Wonder What You Are; Author: Jane Lovering; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: This book had me giggling from Page One. No, Not a gentle little ladylike guffaw; rather the maniacal roar at finding a naked man jumping out at me from the inside cover. 'How I wonder what you are' is a funny, well crafted romance that explores the budding relationship between Molly and Phinn. Molly is hiding in Yorkshire as she tries to rebuild her life after a failed relationship, while Phinn is just hiding: Hiding from life, hiding from his work but ultimately hiding from himself. And then of course there's Stan!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Faerie Tree; Author: Jane Cable; Genres: romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: A book that sits in it's very own category. It's not a romance, a mystery, a drama and then again it's all of these things. The hook in the first few pages was as intense as it was strong. Just who is the tramp, just what is his story/their story. A clever plot woven backwards and forwards through strands of time eventually dragging us back into the present with all ends nicely tied off.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Soft Whisper of Dreams; Author: Christina Courtenay; Genres: history, romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Maddie is confused and who can blame her? She's just lost her parents and then her sister turns out to be the super bitch from hell. And then there's her dream - Just who is the red haired man haunting her nights and as for the tall dark stranger inhabiting her days - WOW. This is a romance with a capital R wrapped up in a mystery with more twists and turns than a corkscrew that left me whipping through the pages at speed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Deadly Sleep; Author: Valerie Keogh; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: I picked this up a couple of days ago and flew through the pages. The first few chapters are hard going for animal lovers, but just get past that. These chapters, while gory set the scene and make the main character who she is. The story is original, something very difficult in this genre as mostly the stories have been done to death, (excuse the pun). I want to see more of this character and will watch this writer. I don't think her books will remain this price for long as I predict a major publishing house is going to pick her up, but hopefully not until I've read the sequel!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Awakened by Autism: Embracing Autism, Self, and Hope for a New World; Author: Andrea Libutti; Genres: ; Review: A beautiful awe inspiring book about one mother's journey through the mire of autism _ A mother that happens to also be a doctor. I haven't finished this yet, not because I can't, because the writing is so deliciously good that I don't want the journey to end.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Rest of My Life; Author: Sheryl Browne; Genres: romance; Review: Just finished an ARC for NetGalley. This is a well written full blown romance with mc Adam seeking to find himself in the aftermath of a tragedy. Set in a boatyard it follows his life from disaster prone womaniser to hero. It's fun, sassy and a tad naughty in places, but not overly so.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Hostage (Great Chicago Fire Trilogy #1); Author: Susan Wiggs; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: light evocative read. interesting and based on fact. I particularly liked the way she wove details of how the fire started into her story. imaginative; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Evie Undercover; Author: Liz Harris; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: Two women, one man- the eternal triangle., in this case set against the background of a sensual Umbrian countryside. Lawyer Tom, handsome but in truth a little staid meets cute Evie and falls head over heals, little knowing that she's an undercover reporter. There's fun, frolics and few tears in this fast paced rom/com that will have you flying through the pages at speed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Wedding Reject Table; Author: Angela Britnell; Genres: romance; Review: Fun light read with lots of chocolate, what more could a gal ask for?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Year of Marvellous Ways; Author: Sarah Winman; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: A beautiful well crafted book that I can well appreciate will not be to anybody's taste. A book in two unique voices, although there are numerous pov's throughout the novel. Firstly the first few chapters are written in the voice of a 89 year old, probably mad, maybe forgetful, possibly magical woman who lives an insulated existence on a peninsula off Truro. These chapters are all whimsy and the writing reflects this. The rest of the book's style is more straight forward, moving the story forward and explaining how the main characters histories merge into the present. This is not a book for those that like stories neatly ribboned and sealed with wax. It's a story that will make you think. A story that will make you feel and a story that will make you remember. Finally I picked this book up off the front shelf in the library on a whim after glimpsing the writing inside, I hadn't heard of this writer, but I will search out her pervious book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Northanger Abbey (The Austen Project, #2); Author: Val McDermid; Genres: history, young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery; Review: Move over Fitzwilliam, Henry Tilney is a much more believable romantic hero than Mr Darcy. I've no gripes with this being a rewrite, for who's going to expect the same with a couple of Centuries in between! Very mod and with characters I both loved and hated in equal measures.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sweet Nothing; Author: Alison May; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: if Sweet Nothings was a movie it would be a Richard Curtis comedy with Colin Firth in the lead, I can even see that reindeer jumper! i don't usually give more than a four star to romances. Why? Because it's very difficult to produce a plot or churn out characters that haven't been churned out before - the rehashing of popular historical works has been done to death. One only has to look at the beloved works of Jane Austin to see that (Zombies indeed!) That said this does get the five stars from me. There are shades of genius here reminiscent of David Nicholls One Day. This isn't because of the backwards, forwards plotting that moves the story forward in bite sized chunks with flashbacks, this is thanks purely to the delicious character of the male lead, Ben Messina. Ben is socially awkward, you know the type - he only opens his mouth to change feet! Here is a character we all love to hate. He'll stand us up because he forgets the time, he won't buy us flowers (only post-coital knickers), there's no question he'll remember our anniversary, maths professor notwithstanding. However he'll do his best - a male lead that will, no, can only do his best - Pure genius!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rawblood; Author: Catriona Ward; Genres: history, fiction, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I reviewed an ARC of this book for Orion. Firstly thanks to Orion for emailing me about this enthralling read. So what is Rawblood? Initially I was fooled into believing that it was a Victorian Gothic novel in the style of Wilkie Collins, but I was wrong. This spans further than the Victorian era with it's ending encompassing WW1. Then I though it was a ghost story, more Woman in Black than Woman in White, but it's more than that. Rawblood is a life story. The story of one girl's life and the strands that bind her, that stranglehold her to an existence never hoped or dreamed for, even in the worst types of nightmare. This tale reaffirms that old truth that wrongdoing never pays, that those that live questionable lives always pay in the end. The writing style is unusual, some might even say choppy, but for me it fit the story line. I'm a skimmer usually, but here I found myself reading and absorbing every word, every phrase - here is a book that clearly wasn't churned out. Here is a book, a long book that took an age to write and therefore an age to appreciate - it took me four days! Of course in writing such an ambitious book there was always the question of how it was going to end. Many such books end up as a great disappointment for the reader as we turn the last page only to find that there are still questions to be answered. Not so here. The ending is a surprise, but as endings go it's neat and satisfies by binding all the parts together. The challenge will be what next for Catriona Ward? This book will set her up there, but what next....I'll certainly be very happy to read anything that she writes in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: You Think You Know Me: a gripping suspense you wont' want to put down (London & Cambridge Mysteries Book 1); Author: Clare Chase; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: Written in the first person and from one viewpoint is often a difficult choice for any writer as plotting and character empathy is challenging at best, a nightmare at worst. Nevertheless Clare Chase has managed to produce a well rounded book with believable characters without the crux of alternate voices - amazing given that this is her debut work. So you think you know me is a mystery/romance set between Cambridge and London and featuring would be art critic/freelance journalist Anna on her quest to find out just what mysterious Darrick is up to. Is he a genuine contender in the boyfriend stakes or is he after something distinctly darker? The writing is solid, the plotting exquisite and the ending well planned with all the loose ends tied off nicely without the need to introduce new ideas or characters in the last chapter - often the last resort of the desperate writer of this genre. This is an honest review of an ARC copy via NetGalley; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: I Don't Want to Talk About It; Author: Jane Lovering; Genres: young-adult, romance, fiction; Review: Jane a lovering has done it again. ' I don't want to talk about it ' , her latest novel for ChocLit easily keeps it's head up amongst referred tomes from the likes of SJ Watson. This is a romance and comes with the usual backdrop of boy meets girl, both with history lurking in their backgrounds all leading to the inevitable Happy Ever After. But that's where similarities end. This is also a dark, often disturbing emotional piece about how two peoples' lives become entangled by their past. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll probably guess but in the end you'll be surprised.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Too Charming; Author: Kathryn Freeman; Genres: thriller, children, crime, fiction, romance, mystery; Review: Another solid romantic read from experienced writer, Kathryn Freeman. This is the second book I've read by her and her characters bring the story to life. This time the writer has drawn on her own experiences as a Pharmacist and this part of the book is of most interest to me, and another reason I chose to read it. Tess and Jim's contrived meeting following the death of her mother from a possible drug related complication during palliative care for cancer was a serious, but genuine start to this tale. The shoes added the lighter tone......; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Please Release Me; Author: Rhoda Baxter; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Rhoda Baxter has just demonstrated her skill at leading her reader (aka me) completely up the garden path. I expected something like Fractured and instead I got something completely different! Sally and Peter appear the perfect newly weds that is until the unthinkable happens. Setting the book primarily in a hospice was ambitious, but well handled with an almost perfect portrayal of grief. Well done Additional Questions Honest feedback gives of ARC via NetGalley; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Picnics in Hyde Park; Author: Nikki Moore; Genres: children, romance, fiction; Review: This isn't the first book i've read with nannies as their central theme. There was The Nanny, by the very talented and dearly missed Melissa Nathan first. But this isn't a romantic comedy. - This is a romance with a capital R. Zoe, newly disembarked, discombobulated and dumped from the Big Smoke dis sends on London to rescue her sister, recently sacked from the post of Nanny by Reilly Senior. Reilly Junior, erstwhile boyfriend of aforementioned sister having gone AWOL! Down to the 'Nitty Gritty' you'll get romance, fun, frolics, but not too much 'behind the door stuff'. In fact you'll get all the elements required for a great romance in a great setting. This is an honest review of an ARC; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Behringer Ultratone K3000fx Ultra-Flexible 300-Watt, 4-Channel Pa System/Keyboard Amplifier With Fx And Fbq Feedback Detection; Brand: Behringer; Review: I bought this amp a year ago, or so. I found it to be very well made, not cheap in any way; lots of features and flexibility. Even though this is a keyboard amp, I bought it for use with mic, acoustic guitar, and bass. It handles all well, with no distortion. So far, I have not used this for any gigs, just for home practicing. The only reservation I have is that, for the advertised 300 watts, it doesn't seem all that loud. But for small venues that I typically play, it should be be adequate. I have another small Behringer practice amp that has proven to be a real workhorse. I have had no disappointments with Behringer products so far.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Danelectro N10B Honey Tone Mini Amp in Burgundy; Brand: Danelectro; Review: I own one of these amps and it is capable of everything from very clean to heavy over-drive. I love it. It's got tone galore! I play either a Martin A/E thru it or a Strat knock-off. Either one sounds awesome. Never dreamed of such an enjoyable little amp, let alone for $20. Battery life seems OK, but I hate messing with batteries, so I'd buy power supply (you can get a 9V supply (check for proper polarity) at the Thrift store for a buck). Don't even think about it. Get it. $20 is pocket change.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Behringer FCV100 Ultra-Flexible Dual-Mode Foot Pedal for Volume and Modulation Control; Brand: Behringer; Review: I got this pedal recently. All in all, it's a pretty nice device, expecially for the price. Seems solid and well-made. It has a nice big pedal for big feet. It works smoothly. I have found no drawbacks to the operation or quality of this pedal. My only gripe, is that the power for the pedal is either by an internal 9V battery, or a 12V plug in power supply. Why the difference? The really bad part (for me) is that I bought this to install in a newly-purchased Behringer pedal board, which comes with a 9V power supply. So, in order for me to use this pedal in the board, I will have to run two different power supplies, or run the pedal on battery and everything else off of the pedalboard's power supply. [Behringer...this was not thought out very well.] I'm now in the process of making myself an voltage adapter, but finding all the right parts has proven so far to be a hassle. Bottom line: the pedal itself is great, but the power supply thing could be a frustration to you. One final note about Behringer...they seem to get bad marks now and then. I really don't understand why. I have two Behringer amps, two of their stomp boxes, the above-mentioned pedal board, and the volume pedal just discussed. I really like all of them. I have never had any problem with any of these items. They perform well, are well made, and certainly, all came at a reasonable price. Behringer's full range of products is so extensive, that I see little reason to buy any other brand. I'm sticking with them.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: BEHRINGER PB600; Brand: Behringer; Review: I already had two Behringer stompboxes, and am thinking of adding a few more, so I thought rather than having a mess on the stage, I'd get a pedalboard. I hadn't really studied them too much, except to note that they all seemed to be way more money than they were worth. Then, recently I found this one for less than a hundred bucks, so I really couldn't pass it up. I am very impressed with this unit. It is well made, well designed, and comes with all sorts of cords and accessories. Nothing is lacking to start playing right away. I'm not sure how easy other brands stompboxes will fit into this board (you may need to trim the foam that holds them in a little bit), but I think the board should be pretty universal for whatever you have. I am not disappointed in the least. I think you will like this board.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Behringer Digital Multi-FX FX600 Digital Stereo Multi-Effects Pedal; Brand: Behringer; Review: I've used the FX600 for a couple of years. I've got a pedal board, with several pedals, but if I had to take only one pedal with me, (and I often do, when I have to travel lite), this is the pedal I take. Not only do I get a full selection of effects, but the pedal doubles as a DI unit, solving input issues on some problem sound systems I've played thru. That's probably an unintended benefit, but I find it a valuable feature, which gives me confidence to play thru any system. FYI, my buddy's Digitech multi-effect pedal actually introduces hum into systems, where this (FX600) has helped me get a cleaner sound. While this unit has no tone adjustments, it also adds 'something' to make my guitars sound better (I know that is sort of vague). The only down side of this pedal that I have found is that, because they have jammed so much stuff into one pedal, it is a little hard to make precise adjustments. But, with what this pedal DOES do for me, that's a small price to pay. For this price, I can't see why anyone would not like this pedal.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gator Cases Gig Bag for Soprano Style Ukuleles (GBE-UKE-SOP); Brand: Gator; Review: This guitar bag turned out to be considerably nicer than I expected, and offers very good protectiuon for my guitar. The only negative I have is that my guitar, with a strat style body, just barely fits the case. It fits my ax, so I'm happy, but there is no extra room. Outside, there are pockets, but I find them a little too small to be very useful. Still, it's a good bag.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Behringer BO100 Blues Overdrive; Brand: Behringer; Review: I got the Behringer Blues Overdrive Pedal for Christmas. I've got other Behringer pedals and generally like them. They work and the prices are good. I wanted an overdrive pedal to round out my compliment of pedals. I've never been a great fan of overdrive/distortion effects, but it can be useful, and any accomplished musician should probably have one in his arsenal. So, I played with this for a couple of hours the day after Christmas. What can I say... it does what it is supposed to do. It makes the sound dirty, and it is capable of adding LOTS of gain. So now, if I need it, I got it. The unit itself is plastic, but very sturdy. I wouldn't worry about it. Not much more to say. It's a pretty basic device, and it works.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: DigiTech RP255 Modeling Guitar Processor and USB Recording Interface; Brand: DigiTech; Review: I've owned several multi-effect pedals in the past, even one Digitech. Up til now, they all had one thing in common: layers of menus to click thru to make any changes or adjustments. It was a pain. Then I saw this one...with KNOBS! I did a lot of research, and was torn between the RP255 and the RP355. I decided to go cheap and got the RP255. So far, that was an OK decision. The RP255 has plenty of features, and is a good compromise between menus and knobs. I recommend reviewing the manual for your first day or two of orientation. To sum up the device quickly, the RP255 is probably capable of generating any sound or effect you want, but you may need to work at it. As with many multi-effect pedals, there is a selection of (60) factory tone/effect profiles, to save you the trouble of programming new ones. These are mirrored by 60 "user-defined" profiles, which are identical to the factory presets. The difference is that #1-60, can be modified by the user, or left as-is. The factory presets, # 61-120, are not modifiable. So, you can really experiment with different setups without worrying about losing what came from the factory. You can also "reset" the entire device if you want to, but if you do you will lose all of your modifications. In addition to all the different tones and effects this unit has to offer, there are also two additional features which are very useful: a (pretty basic)drum machine and a 20 second looper. The looper is really why I bought this pedal. It's easy to use, and it overdubs. I only wish Digitech would have made it a 40 or 60 second looper. 20 seconds really isn't much. FYI, you cannot use the drummer and the looper at the same time. No biggie for me. OK, all that's good, so why am I disappointed in this unit? Pretty simple. I'm an older guy, who has been playing for approximately 50 years. I've played every kind of music there is, and I would have appreciated a much broader selection of presets. This may be a slight exageration, but it seems like 95% of the presets are some sort of (obnoxious) distortion. Come on guys, not all of your customers are 13 years old! I expect a professional piece of equipment to offer a variety of professional choices. Now, I'm faced with working out all of my own presets. I'm back to programming menus again, ugh!. So that's about it. It's a solid piece of equipment, with too many juvenile tone presets to choose from. In all honesty, if I had been aware of this, I would have probably not gotten this unit, inspite of its good design and quality.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: SX SBX II Stomp Box; Brand: SX; Review: I perform solo and wanted to provide my own rhythm. This looked like a neat idea, but failed, utterly. It's a hollowed out block of wood with a guitar pickup wedged up against the top with a piece of foam. The sensitivity was so horrible as to make it un-useable. It was a gamble, and I lost. You will too, if you buy one.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: D'Addario ETB92 Tapewound Bass Guitar Strings, Medium, 50-105, Long Scale; Brand: D'Addario; Review: I bought these strings for a 32" scale bass guitar. The description clearly stated that the strings will fit up to a 32" scale. These don't even come close. The longest scale that these strings would fit is 30", and maybe not even that. They look like nice strings, but it was $28 down the tubes for me. Live and learn. I hope this review will help someone else.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: ChromaCast CC-SSTRAP-H Honey Suede Guitar Strap; Brand: ChromaCast; Review: Very nice strap, @ a good price.

It is advertised as four star, but the breakfast was very poor and the waiters were not too helpful.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Lighthouse Hotel; City: Igalo Herceg Novi Municipality; Review: The hotel has excellent location. However it is way past its good days. Only one of the two elevators worked, overcrowded. My room was supposed to be "the apartment" and "renovated". there was a strong sewer smell in the bathroom the whole time, the ceiling over the bed had a huge water stain, the door towards the balcony was broken. The staff cleans well and on time. However, peeling ceiling on other part of the room is defeating their efforts. Depending of the time of the day the staff at the restaurant can be helpful, or very rude. No parking, but good wi-fi. At the reception there is a plague stating that the Trip Advisor gave the mark of 8.1. I doubt it very much.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Colosseo Tirana; City: Tirana Tirana County; Review: Very nice looking hotel, very helpful staff. Clean and inviting. Very good location, too The breakfast was below the 4-star rating of the hotel, and could be improved to match the rest of the experience.

Title: Hotel Bujtina e Bardhe; City: Korce Korce County; Review: Very nice place with a very friendly staff. Basic rooms, albeit small.

However I experienced problems with the heating, then with hot water in the shower - it took nearly 10 minutes to get lukewarm water. Staff was very friendly and helpful, so once I requested help they were willing and able to look at the issue. I was surprised with the breakfast - it seemed worse than, say, a year ago. Today as I was leaving, tried to get breakfast (it is supposed to begin at 7am), and at 5 minutes to 7 there was almost nothing on display and the light were off in the restaurant.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Istanbul International Airport; City: Istanbul; Review: Good hotel, very spacious rooms and clean. The view was also great.

Emily on reception not only located a natwest but gave sat Nav directions and really helpful local knowledge....

Title: Chrispy World; City: Kolymbari Platanias Chania Prefecture Crete; Review: Just returned from a lovely week at this Fab hotel. Maria on reception is probably the most friendly and attentive reception staff I've encountered. We asked to move as neighbours were leaving their child to scream and we were moved immediately. Animation team all French and so much fun. All brilliant but Max and Ali are non stop fun. Food hygiene and cleanliness just top standard . Anything negative on this hotel is just untrue. Definitely would visit again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Occidental Margaritas; City: Playa del Ingles Maspalomas Gran Canaria Canary Islands; Review: Great holiday overall . Attentive reception staff. Bar man Jacob so friendly. Free bus to Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles great. Pool staff obsessed about kids not jumping in and no balls but need to be tidier and dirty customers to not leave detritus on pool side. Animation staff arrange pool games so is fun.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Hampton By Hilton London Stansted Airport; City: Stansted Mountfitchet Essex England; Review: Can honestly say Lee on reception was so polite and friendly a true ambassador for the Hilton group. Himself and Chloe were a treat to be welcomed by. Hotel superb!! Having booked parking in the package to then find out they moved the car to another site. We then request car returned as we wanted to go out for dinner. The lady arranging the car parking was so accommodating and super friendly. The guy who returned the car was also chatty and helpful. Nothing appeared to much trouble what a lovely experience and great experience to start our holiday to Venice; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Potters Resort; City: Hopton on Sea Norfolk East Anglia England; Review: What lovely staff that make this resort a great experience. Everyone was so happy and we will definitely return.

Title: Marina Lodge at Port Ghalib; City: Port Ghalib Red Sea and Sinai; Review: This charming hotel has some great staff which makes the holiday great...from management, reception staff, bar staff Mena, Ramidan- beach, Nubi -beach, Ramidan pool and restaurant Islam. Zico in Spa - amazing massages. Hiney in hairdressers great too. Pools lovely Beach and beach nights good. Animation team nice but need better equipment especially table tennis balls. Fantastic excursions from Hussein. Jeep safari includes camel 🐫 ride and bedwin village trip. Boat trips amazing snorkelling... Port Ghalib lovely. Taxi only 3 Euros return. Ok things to improve glasses for adults at nights not tiny plastic mouthful. No food by pool at all. My only hate was the bar....it is a shed not fit for purpose and resembles prison service. There is an air conditioned bar that sits not used.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: J D Young; City: Harleston Norfolk East Anglia England; Review: I have been visiting for years, usually every 3 months to get dog groomed in nearlby place. Travelling over an hour. I either have breakfast or lunch and look forward to just the best service/ welcome from all staff but Henry is just brilliant. I think he is so personable to everyone that enters. I listen as he greets everyone in a friendly, charismatic, respectful manner. Remembering who I was and also all other regulars. He really should be praised and rewarded.. I recommend this place as it is relaxed, clean, great food but just the best atmosphere. Look forward to returning in December 👏👏👏👏; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Taj Bentota Resort Spa; City: Bentota Galle District Southern Province; Review: Just returned from a 10 day break at this hotel. We have been to many great hotels around the world, but this was right up there. Nothing was too much trouble , and the staff were just first class. It was our silver wedding anniversary, and the hotel made it special in many ways. Our suite was excellent, the view was memorable, the standard of house- keeping was very high. I cannot overstate how good we found this hotel. Would recommend to all our friends. Thank you; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lindian Village; City: Lardos Rhodes Dodecanese South Aegean; Review: We visit Greece every summer. My wife and I never go back to the same island as there are so many excellent islands. However we had visited this hotel a few years ago and really enjoyed it. So for the first time we nervously decided to go back. What had been a really good hotel the first time had changed on this second visit. The accommodation, an island passage suite, was as good as we remembered. In fact it was even better as the management had obviously listened to what residents had said in their feedback. So there was now daily bottled water provided. There was also a good quality coffee machine in the room. The room cleaning was of the high standard we remembered. The grounds are immaculate. The standard of food was first class. We were on half board and every night was a pleasure. With a hotel of this quality, and cost, it is reasonable to expect high quality and welcoming staff. Well the staff, all of them, exceeded, the high standard we remembered from our previous visit. Every one greeted us with courtesy and a smile. We are generally quite reserved by nature, but it was impossible not to smile when you are treated in such a friendly manner. From the general Manager to the pool cleaner the staff were fist class. They couldn't do enough if you wanted something but were not intrusive. The waiting staff exemplified this. The lugubrious and absolutely lovely Giorgios Was our usual waiter assisted by the ever helpful Lola. Rula greeted everyone to the restaurant with a lovely smile. I am a grumpy older man, but even I was charmed. We had a lovely holiday at Lindian Village. Thank you to all staff. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that we who never go back could be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Speech House Hotel; City: Coleford Forest of Dean Gloucestershire England; Review: We took Dexter, our daft dog, on his first adventure here. It was great. The hotel is very dog friendly, and dog owner friendly. The woodland walks around the hotel are great, and Dexter sniffed to his hearts content. The hotel is ". Shabby chic " and very welcoming. The food at dinner was excellent, we ate a la carte, and the wine was also good. Everyone was welcoming but not intrusive. We, all three of us, will return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Crown Hotel; City: Wells next the Sea Norfolk East Anglia England; Review: Our Labrador had never seen the sea in the 5 years he has owned us. We decided to right this so booked a couple of days at The Crown. It was a truly dog friendly hotel. The room was great, just the sort of shabby chic Place where you can feel at home. The dog felt at home and so did we. We ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent as was the service. Some “ dog friendly “ hotels tolerate dogs but this hotel really seemed to like them, which matters to dog owners. The near bye beach was dog heaven and we walked for miles, and the dog loved it. We loved it but were knackered. So the breakfast the next day was especially welcome. Once again we got the clear impression that the staff actually liked dogs. He got his own sliced up sausage, which as he is a Labrador, just caused him to expect more sausages. So back to the beach and miles of walking. This was a lovely break in a lovely hotel were we felt welcomed. Thank you to all staff. Would recommend to anyone who likes dogs, good food, friendly staff, great beach, and good rooms.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Melia Jardines Del Teide; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: In truth we might have done Tenerife. We have had some good times here as a family and as a couple. We returned, yet again, and it just seemed so “same”. The hotel was what it said it was-clean, breakfast was good,pool was alright, staff were friendly. The sun shone most days. We had bed and breakfast so went out to eat locally each night, and that was the problem. There were no shortage of places to eat but they were all of the same quality- all rightish. Not so bad that you would complain but no wow factor. It felt a bit like we were battery farmed. It is what it is, and when the children were young it was good. Out of school holidays the sun seeking oldies rule and it was’nt for us. Although we are oldies ( my wife would wish to disassociate herself from this remark ) I don’t want to sit on another balcony listening to another strangled version of “Wonderful Tonight”. So thank you Tenerife, and thank you to all the goodish hotels we have stayed in. I have digressed a bit. Hotel jardine del teide was alright.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: MarBella Nido Suite Hotel Villas; City: Agios Ioannis Peristeron Corfu Ionian Islands; Review: This is a very good hotel which is well on the way to being excellent. I fully agree with all the good reviews but there are a few points I would make in a constructive way. The gardens need time to mature and green up so that the built environment is softened. Nothing that a years growth won,t fix. The housekeeping is to a high standard but some days our room was not cleaned till late afternoon. That is the sum of any criticism. Set against the excellent staff, excellent food and an admirable attention to detail, the staff and management have much to be proud of. Thank you; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Catalonia Berlin Mitte; City: Berlin; Review: Stayed for 4nights and all good. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. All staff were helpful. The hotel ambience is sort of shabby chic and it works with the area. The location of the hotel is ideal for getting about Berlin, but is still in a quiet area.great transport links all around. So if you are visiting Berlin I can really recommend this place. We have never used a Catalonia hotel before but we will look for them on future travels.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Aparthotel HG Jardin de Menorca; City: Son Bou Alaior Menorca Balearic Islands; Review: We spent a week here at the end of season. The apartment was spacious and very clean. Staff were low key and professional. The food was good. The supermarket next door had everything you might want and was reasonably priced. The weather was a bit patchy, but the apartment allowed for staying indoors if need be. We enjoyed our visit and would recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
Given the interaction history of a user with books as follows:
Title: the proposition; Author: Visit Amazon's Katie Ashley Page; Review: I went into this book knowing what was going to happen, and I'm just so glad I did. I usually don't like to be spoiled, but it was a doozy. The book was just so fun and sweet and sexy. I was on guard to seriously dislike it, and I just couldn't find anything about it I didn't enjoy. And when it ended... I was pretty devastated. Not only because of the twist of events, but because I was left hanging. Like, seriously hanging off a cliff and maybe wanting to jump. But no worries since the second book is out and can be read immediately after.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bronze Horseman; Author: Visit Amazon's Paullina Simons Page; Review: I can't put into words what this book means to me. It just transcends words and thoughts. If GR had an unlimited rating that would be what I would give it. I feel... So much. All I know is that the love that Tatia and Shura had for each other could be felt with each word; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rule: A Marked Men Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Jay Crownover Page; Review: I really enjoyed this book. It was definitely 5 star worthy. I went into it having read reviews discussing the editing issues so I wasn't expecting much. But wow. While there were some sentences I stumbled over and some ber long run-ons, it never actually hampered my reading experience. I was lost in the story and characters which shows how great a story it really is.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Faefever (Fever, Book 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Karen Marie Moning Page; Review: I seriously devoured this in hours because I needed to know more about Barrons and V'Lane (which in the end is hilarious because the more I read the less I know). Let's just say this was my favorite of the series so far and I need more. Mac is so kickass and my favorite type of heroine. That ending!!!!!! I can't believe we're left hanging like that. Thank goodness I have the next book to start immediately.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Darkfever; Author: Visit Amazon's Karen Marie Moning Page; Review: I really liked this book! It was slow at parts, but I think it was warranted. Mac is awesome and Barrons is mysteriously sexy. I can't wait to dive into the next book and see where it takes me; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: In Flight (Up In The Air) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's R. K. Lilley Page; Review: This was really good, and I have a feeling it's only going to get better. Is it irrational that I can't give 5 stars because of something James did that I just can't get behind? I LOVE him, don't get me wrong. There were just a few things I was kind of put off by.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Surrender (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Melody Anne Page; Review: I'm giving this 2 stars only for the writing and effort put into this book. Because that's the only plus I could find out of this horrible imitation of 50 Shades. The 'hero' was manipulative to a level that I found disgusting. It wasn't for Ari's own good but to bully her into being in a ridiculous controlling 'relationship'. There were times when the author tried to inject emotion in Rafe but it fell flat... he was a selfish guy who used women because he was jilted in the past. I got this for free so all wasn't lost. I just wanted to throw my kindle every 10 pages or so.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Creed (Unfinished Heroes) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Kristen Ashley Page; Review: I wanted to like this one, and in the beginning I did. However, toward the end I considered DNFing it. It felt like the story had ended and we were just getting day to day retellings of their life together. I stuck with it and skimmed the last 20%. Definitely not my favorite KA by a long shot; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Waiting on the Sidelines (Waiting Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Ginger Scott Page; Review: I would rate this higher but it has something in it that I can't stand. The constant back and forth angsty drama was just too much for me. Don't get me wrong, I was totally engrossed in this book and I get that they're in high school. But, it just went too far and Reed definitely let me down a few times. I was totally Nolan in high school in the fact that I had a mad crush on a guy that was never timed right. She goes through too much for some if the stuff she puts up with. I will definitely read the next book, but I don't if I can take much more of the angst.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Going Long: Waiting on the Sidelines 2 (The Waiting Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Ginger Scott Page; Review: Going Long is the followup to Ginger Scott's Waiting on the Sidelines. It picks up 2 years later, with Nolan and Reed still in a committed relationship while attending different colleges. Reed is expected to be drafted for football and has tough decisions to make, while Nolan wants to finish school with her degree in special education. She doesn't want things to change, but its always inevitable. Reed really grew as a character and an adult with this novel. I truly felt like I was reading a much more grounded Reed. He doesn't want anything to compromise his relationship with Nolan, but playing professional football has always been his dream. Because of the choices he makes (as unintentional as they are) things become strained in the relatinoship. And Nolan doesn't come out of this smelling like roses. She suffers a tragedy and can't seem to rise above it. She makes descisions that seem so wrong, but she's just trying to keep afloat. My one problem with this would be the lack of communication that resulted from mistunderstandings. There wasn't enough truthfullness in the relationship to keep their trust in the forefront. However, I did think they handled themselves much better than their high school selves did. I was so happy to read this, because I so desperately wanted a happy ending for these two.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ignited: A Most Wanted Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's J. Kenner Page; Review: I went into this book really expecting to be wowed because this is J. Kenner and that's what she does. I can't say I was overly impressed, but I did enjoy this one. Angie has been in love with bad boy Evan since she was 16 visiting her uncle's house for the summer. She was there as an escape from a family tragedy and completely falls head over heels for Evan, who is a good 6 years older than her. When her uncle dies years later, her relationship with Evan begins to change.. as does her relationship with her normal self. She doesn't want to toe the line and always stay inside the box. She needs to break out. And who better to do it with than her longtime crush who could make all of her fantasies come true. However, its not as easy as it seems. Evan has many secrets that keep him from pursuing her like he's wanted. He has to maintain his distance but can't seem to stay away. There's definitely lots of steam between the two, and the buildup it nice. For all of its good points, this book just wasn't paced as well as I would like. There's no really spark or connection between Angie and Evan until at least halfway through. And then once something happens, it seems like a rollercoaster ride of action. But the action wasn't as exciting or pulse pounding as expected. And I didn't have enough time to get to know Evan, outside of what we're told through Angie. This was a good book, but I couldn't quite connect with it. And because I'm pretty sure the next in the series will be about another couple, I don't know if I'm satisfied with the ending.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Three Broken Promises: A Novel (One Week Girlfriend Quartet); Author: Visit Amazon's Monica Murphy Page; Review: 2 stars It seriously pains me to give this book 2 stars because I was so freaking psyched to read it. After Fable and Drew's epic journey I just knew I was in for something special with Jen and Colin. The little peeks of them in the previous book had me anticipating this so much. So where did it all go wrong, you ask? Because obviously something had to put a damper on my good mood to rate this a 2. It wasn't the writing, which is one of the things I love about Monica Murphy. It was actually mostly Jen for me. Jen ran away from home after her brother is killed in action and her parents can't deal with anything but their grief. She decides she's just going to go out on her own and make a new life for herself. The big effing problem with that is that she has NO life skills. Seriously, I don't know how she survived a day much less months on her own without Colin coming to her rescue. And it wouldn't be such a big deal about her being kind of screwed in the dependence department, but she does nothing to help herself out. She just relies on him while acting like she wants to be independent and free. She wants to run off to a city where she has no job lined up, no place to live, no way to even get there to look for those two things, and yet she boo-hoos when she wants an office job but doesn't get hired because she has no office skills? That's my big problem with her. She blamed all her problems on other people, and was irrationally jealous and mean to her best friend. She just really pissed me off. Meanwhile, Colin is over here playing knight in shining armor to her, because he promised his best friend that he'd protect and take care of her. He wants her, but thinks that they can never have anything permanent so he constantly pushed her away. And it wouldn't have been so bad if half the time they weren't both in their head going back and forth about their relationship and how they weren't good enough for each other. I was kind of over it by then. And the chemistry just wasn't there for me. I think Colin had more chemistry with Fable, or heck even Drew than he did with Jen. So as sad as this makes me, I just didn't enjoy this one. Hopefully Owen's book will be better for me.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Back-up; Author: Visit Amazon's A.M Madden Page; Review: The story of Jack and Leila was actually a pretty fun ride. It took a while for me to really get connected with the story... the first 15% or so was spent setting up the story with descriptions of every person Leila came into contact with. And I didn't understand Jack's feelings for Leila until close to the end. However, once the story got going it did keep me engaged. The writing even improved towards the end. I will say that it ends on a cliffhanger that leaves me kind of iffy. Their relationship is a HFN that will hopefully lead to an HEA.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Wounded; Author: Visit Amazon's Jasinda Wilder Page; Review: Wow, this was intense. Really good, but so many emotions. Sometimes I didn't know how to feel about this book, but it was so well written... and just wow.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Finding My Forever (The Beaumont Series) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Heidi McLaughlin Page; Review: While this one wasn't in the same caliber as the first two and I had a problem with Jimmy being a dumb---, I ended up liking him and the story. I just didn't feel the connection with the main characters. That had more to do with contradictory words and actions from Jimmy though. But in the end I can say it was a good book.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Off The Record; Author: Visit Amazon's Sawyer Bennett Page; Review: Let me just ask... Can I steal Lincoln for a little while so I can pretend he's my boyfriend? I won't keep him from Ever long, just enough to make me happy :) I really liked this one. Sawyer Bennett's writing seems to have gotten better with each book. I'll admit Off Sides was a bit rough, but Off Limits rocked my world and Off the Record just kept it coming. I'm so glad I gave these a try.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Addicted to You (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Krista Ritchie Page; Review: Addicted to You is not my typical book of choice. A sex addict and an alcoholic finding love... together? I went into this with an open mind and was pleasantly surprised. Lily Calloway was a mess of a girl. She is a sex addict to start off with... that's one huge issue. She forgets to eat, her grades are horrible, her parents are a-holes and she's in a fake relationship with her best friend who also has an addiction. I will say, if Lily was a guy I wouldn't read this book. It's a total double standard, but I don't think I could read a book about a guy who constantly thinks about sex, sleeps with random guys and sometimes more than one, and does it anywhere that's available. But I stuck with her, and I was so glad I did. Her journey is a rough one, but she's got her best friend along for the ride. Lo was probably my favorite part of the book. Yes, he's an alcoholic. But his devotion to Lily and their relationship truly made this book for me. His struggles with alcohol stem from a strained relationship with his father. He's never good enough in his father's eyes, and alcohol is always there to numb his feelings. These two had such a road ahead of them and it was sometimes hard to continue on. But with the help of new friends and Lily's siblings, they found there way. Its not all sunshine and roses in the end, but its the start to a story that I can't wait to finish. Copy provided by NetGalley for an honest review; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Very Bad Things (Briarwood Academy) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Ilsa Madden-Mills Page; Review: I really liked this book. I'm just peeved that it ended at like 84%. I was so revved to have 16% left and then it just ended kind of abruptly. I'm hoping book 2 is a continuation with these two characters because there were a few loose ends that I need tied up.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: While It Lasts (Sea Breeze); Author: Visit Amazon's Abbi Glines Page; Review: This is going to be short and sweet. I really wanted to love this one, but I just couldn't. I liked it, but at about 80% something happened that I just couldn't get behind. If only these two kids talked things out it could have been avoided. And the fact that Eva totally just accepted what happened blew my mind. I'm not a forgiving girl, so I would have probably given up right then. And it leaves me a little worried about book 2 if communication becomes a problem. However, the ending was pretty darn sweet. I just hope all is well with Eva and Cage in the future.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Fire Inside: A Chaos Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Kristen Ashley Page; Review: This was actually much better than I had thought. I've tried a few of KA's books before and just didn't have a good time with them. I couldn't get past the mulititude of characters, the choppy dialogue, or the excessive drama. This book actually seemed much better edited. It felt more like a cohesive effort and the characters were more fleshed out. However, there was still the problem with the choppy dialogue. Where were the pronouns or nouns in general? It seemed every sentence started with a verb or adverb. Picky, I know. But did every character have to talk the exact same way? And also, I felt like I'd read these characters before in her previous books. All her heroines and heros seem to be cut from the same cloth. With all the said, I did actually enjoy the book. And the length was in its favor. I love taking a long journey with characters, and that's something that a lot of books lately are lacking.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Bet; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Van Dyken Page; Review: The ending might have been a little rushed, but I loved it for being so cute. It was just what I needed to read. I may have wanted to slap a certain someone a few time, but that only made it better. So 5 stars for being a great little surprise of a read; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Twisted Perfection (Perfection, Bk 1) (The Rosemary Beach Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Abbi Glines Page; Review: How come no one told me this one had a part 2 to it? I can't believe I'm left hanging like that... It opens the door for so much to happen. But it was just so good. Woods pretty much has my heart.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Unteachable; Author: Visit Amazon's Leah Raeder Page; Review: There are so many reviews out there about this book so I won't bore anyone with yet another synopsis of it. However I will say that I was totally engrossed in this book. It was so well written and just completely blew me away with all the emotions it pulled out of me. Maise was such a great characters. She was 18, but sometimes she felt so much older... and then she seemed like the teenager she was. I enjoyed her journey and discovery of self. Her character progressed naturally and never felt forced. Evan was an enigma. I don't feel like I got the whole picture of him, but what I got I liked for the most part. I was happy in my little Evan and Maise bubble and just along for the ride... and then around 75% or so it was just BAM. I was kicked in the stomach and had to keep on trucking. When secrets come out about something pretty damn big, I felt betrayed. I think that's the best word to describe it. It didn't feel as special as before. BUT I did get back on track and loved the ending. I'm hoping that Leah Raeder writes a follow-up to this story. I loved the characters, and I feel like I could get a better grasp if their problems and situations were further explored so all of my crazy questions are answered and put to rest.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: More Than This; Author: Visit Amazon's Jay McLean Page; Review: I guess I'm in the minority here... or I read an entirely different book than everyone else. But I just couldn't make myself care about the characters. Well, I guess I should say I didn't feel the connection with the characters the way I usually like. The writing was good enough, nothing groundbreaking or horrible. I just found the book very average at best.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Saving Grace: Mad World Book 2; Author: Visit Amazon's Christine Zolendz Page; Review: I'm not going to go into the plot of this. I'm not very good at summarizing. But I will say that the 3 stars is for my frustration. This book frustrated the crap out of me. I have a weird quirk where I need characters to bring up their problems and actually talk them out. I want to have them dissected and completely explained. If someone is cheated on, I need to reasons examined... if someone breaks off the relationship or runs from it I need to know why!!! And this book had a major plot point that was brought up several times in the heroines mind but when it was all said and done she never asked Shane why the eff he did it. Maybe it was vaguely explained away, but there was a shit ton of stuff happening towards the end that I was just left confused about the end result. This is really just a problem for me personally. It ended sweetly and I did believe in the HEA. I just wanted the words so that I could feel completely satisfied. I know there's a book in Shane's point of view and maybe things will be further explained there.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Lexi, baby; Author: Visit Amazon's Lynda LeeAnne Page; Review: I don't think I read the same book as everyone else. I could barely finish this... The writing, the "drama", just everything was horrible to me. Plus, the hero was a douche and the heroine was annoying. All in all, didn't work for me.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Painted Faces; Author: Visit Amazon's L.H Cosway Page; Review: This book has me a little baffled. I can understand all the amazing reviews because this book is something different but done really well. However, I just never felt connected to the characters. The writing was fantastic and I enjoyed the story enough. It's just that Fred and Viv/Nicholas never clicked for me. I think this book just wasn't my cup of tea.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Scornfully Yours (Torn) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Pamela Ann Page; Review: I actually don't know why I didn't DNF this. I think I just wanted to know how much more ridiculous the story would get. I'm sorry, but these characters were all just horrible people. I sort of liked Emma, but she was a freaking doormat. She had no willpower. I seriously don't even know what I just read. I've seen so many good reviews of this, but it was not for me. The same thing happened with Lexi, baby. I should have known to leave this one alone.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Going Under; Author: Visit Amazon's S. Walden Page; Review: I'm not very good at writing reviews... As in I don't actually and when I do it's just a jumble of emotions that I felt the need to get out of my head. So that's pretty much what this is; an outpouring of how amazing this book is. I knew it was going to be good, and it was definitely going to be hard to read at times. But it snuck up on me. I'm in this Veronica Mars-esque state where I'm having a good time reading about her amateur sleuthing. And then BAM! It gets real, and emotional, and hard to keep going. But I did and I'm so glad I did. It made me feeeeeel so much. And there it is. That's all I can write about it. There are definite triggers that can really be a stumbling point, but if you can handle that then I'd suggest giving this a real try. Simply perfect.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Different Blue; Author: Visit Amazon's Amy Harmon Page; Review: 4 stars for the great writing and story. But I just couldn't give it 5 stars because of something in the story that I don't think many people would even blink at. It had to do with the actual romance... or maybe something going on while the romance was building? It just rubbed me the wrong way. But other than that, it was a really great story.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Last Boyfriend (Forever Love) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's J. S. Cooper Page; Review: Why is it that lately a lot of the books I'm reading has a huge a-hole as the hero? Because I like a sweet jerk, but not an aloof, oblivious jerkwad. I'm not saying I didn't like this book, but Zane made it really hard to like him... even after he explained why he did the things he did. Because I felt like it was really a non-answer. And he did some questionable things while he was 'with' Lucky that left me cold. However, I will read the Last Husband because I'm a sucker for series. I can't seem to leave a story unfinished. Maybe it will ten around my feelings for Zane. He's not all bad, just kind of has rocks for brains when it comes to some things.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cautious (Sequel to Disastrous): Disastrous No. 2; Author: Visit Amazon's E L Montes Page; Review: I really liked this, but I couldn't quite give it a 5. This is solely because Mia kept thinking about what (or who) Marcus did while they were apart for those few weeks and yet she never asked and he never came out and said it. She had me wanting to get the answer because of the many times she voiced her concern, but we never got it. I hate when I'm waiting for something to be brought up and it's just glossed over. I'm a nosey person, I need the deets. But other than that, I really did enjoy this. I'm So glad we got our ending and don't have to wait for another installment. And I'm looking forward to Jimmie's novella.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Inevitable; Author: Visit Amazon's Angela Graham Page; Review: I don't really know how I feel about this book. Cassandra was definitely the highlight of the book. She's a pretty strong woman. She had a shitty breakup, but she just kept trucking. She was maybe a little more lenient about things than I'd like, but she stuck to her guns when it really counted. As for Logan... he's the reason for my iffy feelings. I pretty much thought he was scum for the first half of the book. He's a single father, and he's amazing with his son. But he was also the biggest douche-playboy I may have read about. I mean, he just spread himself around the ladies. Some of the things he did just left me disgusted. And the way he spoke to Cassandra was so arrogant and patronizing. But about halfway through he did become what I would call a human being. You got to see another side, and it was actually sweet. But the buildup finally came to a head in the last 10% and then it all went to hell. I mean, come on. I was finally sort of on board with these two getting together and then bam. We're left kind of hanging. Although i wasn't too keen on the hero, I was thoroughly engrossed in the story. I'll definitely be reading the second book, if only to see how Cassandra and Logan work things out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Surviving Raine; Author: Visit Amazon's Shay Savage Page; Review: I really can't say much about this book that hasn't already been said. However, I'll just say that my head has been through a hell of a lot with this book. I didn't really know how I was going to like Bastian at first, but damn did I end up loving him and all his a-hole charms. I literally spent all day reading and cleaning my apartment... which means I didn't get much cleaning done. I couldn't seem to put it down long enough to do anything productive. This book was just so much and I loved every page. I can't wait to read what comes next for Raine and Bastian.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Savor You; Author: Visit Amazon's Emily Snow Page; Review: It sucks that I'm giving this such a low rating because I loooooved Devoured. But, I just did not connect with this book or the characters. I really liked Kylie in Devoured and wanted her story. Well I still love her, but I just didn't understand the big problem with her and Wyatt. I felt like we got no actual reasons for their relationship never working out. And to be honest, at the end I felt like nothing was solved. I kind of just wanted to kick Wyatt's ass the whole time. Like, so badly. So yeah, unfortunately this didn't work for me. I'll just go back to waiting not so patiently for Lucas and Sienna's next book.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Unbroken (Beachwood Bay) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Melody Grace Page; Review: More like 2.5 stars. Ugh, I really thought this was going to be amazeballs but it just didn't deliver. It was too rushed and didn't have enough character or back story development. It started off really promising, but there was no follow through with the angst. I'm wondering if book 2 is going to be their story continued because I really feel like there's more to be explored. On a positive note, the writing was really good. It's what had me hoping for more as I read.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Good (Too Good); Author: Visit Amazon's S. Walden Page; Review: Good was pretty much all that I'd hoped it would be and more. It had the uber taboo cliche of a student/teacher relationship... and I freaking loved it. Cadence is your typical high school senior. She's a good girl who got caught up in something bad and had to pay the price. What I loved so much about her is that she was 17/18 years old and acted that way. She wasn't portrayed as a femme fatale out to trap her handsome, older teacher. She said and did things that 17 year girls do. She wasn't made to feel like she was wise beyond her years, because she wasn't. She was impulsive and zany and a total dork and it totally worked. And oh man did I love me some Mark Connelly. He was a hot, 28 year old math teacher. Need I say more? Of course he's lust inducing. How come I didn't have a teacher like him when I was in high school? He's obviously the 'adult' in the realtionship. And its not a relationship that is entered into lightly. There's build up and then secrecy. And I never felt like he was wielded any power over Cadence. There were definitely some uncomfortable situtations, and he was very straight forward almost to the point of harsh. But I just wanted to hug him up. He's definitely got secrets, and I felt like I didn't get a real sense of him as a person out side of Mark and Cadence land. I can see where this could be a controversial topic to read about, but I actually love this type of book. The forbidden factor was so there. But I really felt the love they had for each other. I just don't know where this is going to go in the second story. There's a cliffhanger, but not a relationship cliffhanger thank goodness. So thank you S. Walden for writing such a badass book (and including the song "Who Booty" because it made my day).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Girl on Tour (Kylie Ryans) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Caisey Quinn Page; Review: I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Girl on Tour wasn't long enough.... I need more Kylie and Trace. And the things they had to go through? Rip my heart out why don't you?! Kylie broke my heart and Trace had me wanting to kick his junk. And that ending, there are no words. I don't know how I'm going to last through February for the next book. I need an HEA for them.(; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Keep Me Still: Special Edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Caisey Quinn Page; Review: I really, really enjoyed this book and was so happy to have the prequel novella to set up the story. Layla was so strong, even when she didn't think she was. I really liked her character. And Landen? Very swoon worthy for a high school/college boy. I won't say I was always happy with some of the decisions he made, but I could never be mad at him ;) The ending maybe left a bit to be desired. However, with the sneak peak of the sequel novella I was left satisfied. I'm definitely looking forward to their continued journey. Caisey Quinn is fast becoming a favorite author of mine, and I get excited when she has a new book out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Beneath the Burn; Author: Visit Amazon's Pam Godwin Page; Review: I won't even go into how crazy, scary, uncomfortable, and rockin this book was. But I will say that it was one hell of a ride. I loved this so much. There's so much going on, and it sucked me right in. I look forward to more from Pam Godwin! Such a talented and inventive writer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Who He Is (FireNine); Author: Visit Amazon's Shanora Williams Page; Review: Gage was so effing frustrating and Eliza was such a dang doormat that I got a headache reading this. The ending and sneak peak of the next book almost cements the fact that I wouldn't be able to handle another book with these 2. I want to know what happens, but things that happened in it are just not my cup of tea. When they finally got together Gage made one promise to Eliza and then he pretty much broke it big time and wanted her to understand? It wasn't even explained what exactly happened which makes me more frustrated. I needed the truth to know whether or not I should be pissed or ripping balls off mad. Grr. This was me venting my frustrations. Thanks for reading my neurotic musings... I just needed to put them out into the universe.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Consumed; Author: Visit Amazon's Skyla Madi Page; Review: This book was such a surprise! I went into it with no expectations and got so much. Seth totally makes it into my list of book boyfriends. He's a hot MMA fighter with a reputation... and I seriously love that type. Olivia is such a strong character with a great heart that sometimes gets her into trouble. These two together were dynamite. Even though there were some editing issues and misused words, it didn't take away from the story. It was otherwise well written and the characters were so real. I'm definitely looking forward to more from this author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cage (Corps Security); Author: Visit Amazon's Harper Sloan Page; Review: I'm so mad because I wanted to like this book so much, but I had no connection to the characters at all. I didn't like the flow of the story, or the way a lot of stuff happened but really nothing happened. I know that makes no sense, but yeah.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Irreplaceable (Harmony) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Angela Graham Page; Review: I'm sorry but if this is "love" I don't ever want to know what that feels like. The writing was good but the story was ridiculous. A man after a woman he degraded because he was messed up? And don't get me started on what his activities were while he was pining away for her. And the heroine was a doormat... I thought she was being strong but in the end she just lets that go. I can never see this as an HEA only an HFN. Needless to say I don't think I'll be reading the final chapter in this story. I'm not that much of a masochist.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Storm Damages (Storm Damages) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Magda Alexander Page; Review: I actually really enjoyed this book. It started off a little slow for me... and the things that came out of Gabriel's mouth were just so awkwardly inappropriate. But the story hit its stride and I found myself desperately needing to know what was going to happen next. Its in duel POVs which I was glad to read. Once it switched over to Gabe's POV about 35% or so in, I was completely hooked. I definitely needed to get things from his perspective. So I'll say that I loved the book, but hated the cliffhanger... its a pretty big cliff we're hanging from.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fallen Crest Public (Fallen Crest Series) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Tijan Page; Review: This was probably the most intense, drama filled installation of the Fallen Crest Family series. I wanted to throw things, pull my hair out, and bitch slap several people. But it was so worth it, and I'm looking forward to the next book. I need it ASAP.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Better (Too Good); Author: Visit Amazon's S. Walden Page; Review: Better is the second installment of the high school teacher/student relationship between Mark and Cadence... and I was so freaking pumped for it. This book took me on a rollercoaster of emotions with both Mark and Cadence. It starts right where Good left off. Cadence and Mark have dealt with her parents and the school and now want to start their journey as a normal couple. There's still the aspect of the forbidden. She's still 10 years younger, and his former student. And since she is now living with him, she has to deal with the fallout of her relationships with those around her. There were times when I felt Mark was acting more as her father than her boyfriend, but that can be expected. She's a slob and has no real life outside of Mark. But they work that little problem out. Its all going fairly well until Cadence discovers a huge secret from Mark's past. It's not just something that can be swept under the rug, and the fallout was pretty brutal. Cadence is in college, and decides to live life like a normal college kid. I can understand the partying, drinking, and staying out all night. But when she took it a little farther, I was just hoping she'd find her way out. Throughout all of it, you feel Mark's love for her. He's in it for the long haul and will do what it takes to get back Cadence's trust and essentially fix their mounting problems. Mark was a huge surprise for me. I loved him in Good, but I didn't really know him. However, Better gives you such a better understanding of where he's coming from and how much he truly adores Cadence. I'd have to say this book took a turn that I didn't see coming, but was satisfied with all the same. And the epilogue... it gives the reader exactly what they wanted. The story is complete so no cliffhangers (YAY!!). I enjoyed this series so much... it was good, it was better, it was AWESOME.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: More Than Her (Volume 2); Author: Ms Jay McLean; Review: This follow up to her first book is miles ahead in terms of writing, which was my biggest problem with the first book. So I appreciated this so much more. However, the constant back and forth, running away got on my nerves. How many times do you have to be ignored and screwed over before you have enough? I want to like Logan so much, but I'm left unsatisfied. As for Amanda, I loved her, and I think she did a lot of growing. And I'm sorry, but the amount of crap these characters have to deal with sometimes gets outlandish. Like, do any of these characters have a normal, stable life that doesn't have any kind of crazy attached to it? While this review makes it seem like I didn't like this book, I actually did. I want to see where these two crazy kids go from the abrupt ending we get.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Forever Loved; Author: Visit Amazon's Deanna Roy Page; Review: I did not like the direction this follow up took. Because it only spanned a week at most, I didn't feel like the relationship was strengthened or problems were resolved. And the whole plot twist just pissed me off. That's not something I like to read about, especially when the whole first book is about getting over the fact that these two lost a child and Gavin got a vasectomy to further prevent that. The writing style was pretty good, it was just the content I was disappointed in :(; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Frigid; Author: Visit Amazon's J Lynn Page; Review: Would it be bad to say the thing I liked most about the book was the cover... or more specifically the male model on the cover? It's not that I didn't enjoy the book, just that I didn't really connect with the couple like I like. I did like Sydney's character. I totally got her. She reminded me of myself and therefore I totally got her. She was funny, sweet, and adorably awkward. Her "lady balls" got her what she wanted, but like her I wished she'd grown them sooner. As for Kyler, I just didn't get him. I mean, I understood where he was coming from. It's never easy having feelings for your best friend. You don't know how to act on them, or if you even should. But his justification for being a hoe wasn't enough for me. I didn't feel like the story allowed for much progression in his emotions. It felt so rushed. But with all that said, I do love J Lynn/Jennifer Armentrout. Her Lux series is one of my faves. Frigid was a solid 3 star read, and I'd definitely recommend it to people who love them some best friend love.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: For Everly; Author: Visit Amazon's Raine Thomas Page; Review: I really liked this book... it was definitely better than I expected! For Everly is about baseball player Cole Parker and PT student Everly Wallace. Cole Parker is having trouble with his pitching shoulder and needs to fix it out of the public eye so that he can resume his professional baseball career. His brother, Wyatt, is a professor who happens to teach Everly, and believes she'd be the perfect person to help Cole get better. She lives with her health challenged grandfather, and could use the money to pay the bills. They would have to pose as a couple so that his PT can be kept secret. You can only guess what happens to their relationship while 'pretending' to be together. Everly and Cole begin to fall for each other, but Everly is holding back secrets that continue to devastate her. On top of that, she has a father that made me cringe. Cole also has a problem in the form of a bitter ex-girlfriend who wants him back. All of these things seem to conspire to try and keep these two apart... but it was great to see them stick together. I really enjoyed this and it was a quick, fast paced read. Raine Thomas is an author I will definitely be checking out in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Let It Go; Author: Visit Amazon's Brooklyn James Page; Review: This book was written in third person present tense which really threw me off. Because of this, I felt disconnected from the book and could never really get quite on track. I so wanted to love this, but it just seemed a bit too all over the place. Too many different stories, and the narrative (or even thoughts) drifting to random people made it difficult to really concentrate on the main characters. If it was edited and maybe written in the past tense, I think I would have enjoyed it much better.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Crashing Into You; Author: Visit Amazon's B.D. Rowe Page; Review: I wanted to read this book because the blurb looked interesting. I love college romance stories. But honestly, this book was a bit all over the place and there was a lot going on. Sydney is a college student who is more into studying than partying. She had a traumatic experience with alcohol and has therefore sworn off anything that could make her out of control. The one interesting thing about Sydney is that she's in love with her roommate's boyfriend, Evan. She and Evan have been just friends for two years, but she's been pining for him all that time. Now I can usually get behind a story like this, but she's kind of obsessive in her undercover love. She's constantly thinking about him and finding ways for them to hang out. I liked Evan, but he did need a firm talking to. Flirting and kissing someone who's not your girlfriend is a big no-no. Obviously forces bring them together and allow them to start a relationship, but it just felt off. When someone new comes into the picture, Sydney went a little crazy. I kept thinking she was a bit of a hypocrite. Karma can sometimes be a bitch. There's an entire theme throughout the book that deals with alcohol and its effects. Sydney's staunch beliefs on the subject sometimes made the book feel more like a lesson on alcohol awareness than a romance. Also, the ending is a cliffhanger. Its not terrible but its a cliffhanger all the same. I'll probably read the second book because I hate starting a story and not knowing the conclusion. This is author B.D. Rowe's first book and its really well written. Yes, the plot if kind of a mess but the writing was what kept me going.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hard As It Gets: A Hard Ink Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Laura Kaye Page; Review: I didn't read the blurb, so I didn't really know what to expect when I started this. Luckily, this was a pretty good read. The suspense/mystery was really well done and didn't take over the romance in the book. Nick was such a sweet, strong man and I adored him. I can't wait to read about his brother in arms, Shane, in the next book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: All Lined Up: A Rusk University Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Cora Carmack Page; Review: This was a cute, sweet read. I liked both of the MCs, I was just a tad bored throughout the book. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for this book, because I know a lot of people enjoyed this more than I did.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Golden Dynasty (The Fantasyland Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Kristen Ashley Page; Review: All I can say is I LOVED this book. I have a love/hate relationship with KA books. I love the drama and romance of her books, but sometimes I just feel like her characters aren't fleshed out and the dialogue is super repetitive... she could use a good editor. And I'm not saying some of that wasn't present in this. However, I just absolutely loved Lahn and Circe together. The way their relationship developed and changed was just magical to read. I couldn't get enough, I didn't want the book to end. If this book is anything to go on, I'll definitely be reading the rest of this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Very Wicked Things (Briarwood Academy); Author: Visit Amazon's Ilsa Madden-Mills Page; Review: Have you ever read a book that you went into pretty much knowing what was going to happen, but hoping against all hope that you'll somehow end up liking it? Very Wicked Things was that book for me. I knew that Cuba was a d*** and that something obviously happened to tear them apart... but I trudged on thinking I could grow to like him and this book. However, that didn't happen. Cuba was an a--hole of epic proportions. And even taking his troubled past and feelings into account, I still saw him as an ass. Nothing could really fix that in my mind, and that pretty much ruined the book for me. I can see where the author was going, but I felt like the book was a departure from the first of the series. Dovey also made a decision that completely took me off guard. I kept thinking there was no way she'd actually go through with it, but I should have realized anything was possible here. And then there was the whole episode with Emma, Sebastian, Matt and even Spider. Too many outside problems occurred toward the end that interfered with Dovey and Cuba's journey. The 2 stars are for the writing because I can't take away from the fact that this was a well written, thought out book. But with that said, I'm done with this series. I just don't care enough about Sebastian or the rest of the gang to hang around for more heartache.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Off the Record; Author: Visit Amazon's K.A. Linde Page; Review: Can I just say thank you Jesus that this book did not disappoint?! I had some SERIOUS reservations about starting this series since the last one by K.A. Linde left me rather pissed. And I guess since this is only the first book I may just be setting myself up for failure. But as far as I'm concerned, I actually truly love the 2 MCs and truly want them to be endgame. Linde has a way of crushing dreams (or granting them however the case may be) but Brady and Liz seem to be made for each other, and I don't want other people butting in on their happiness. So for now I'm just happy to say that I loved this book and can't wait to see what the next one has to bring.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Husband's Regret (Unwanted); Author: Visit Amazon's Natasha Anders Page; Review: I absolutely loved this! It was all angst, romance, and crazy misunderstandings wrapped up in a well written story. Natasha Anders can do no wrong in my humble opinion.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Perfect Lie; Author: Visit Amazon's Teresa Mummert Page; Review: I just did not get this book. I liked Lie, but the other characters just didn't do it for me. Abel was all over the place, and I can't drum up any actual feelings for him. I truly didn't like him. And her friend Trish? B**ch and a half, and not even an ounce of likability there either. As for Brock, he may have been the only part of the book that I felt any true emotions for. The twist was definitely out of left field. I did not see it going there. However, it felt almost like a bandage for all the crap Lie was put through in the book. My stars are for the writing and the concept of the book. This will probably be a good book for a lot of people, but it just was not for me :(; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: More Than Him (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Jay McLean Page; Review: I'll keep this short and sweet (sort of).I wanted to like this more, but I was bored for most of this book. And when I wasn't bored I was annoyed. Annoyed that Logan and Amanda reunited so quickly and all was forgiven, and annoyed at Logan for his actions (non actions?) during the Heidi incident. I felt like Amanda was a doormat and always gave in too easily... she pretty much let someone who left her with no goodbye more than once run the relationship. Also, Lucy got on my ever loving nerves. I don't find her character endearing or cute, I just find her incredibly annoying... especially when she drinks. So all in all, I felt like this was a weak follow-up to the last book which I truly enjoyed.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: LoveLines; Author: Visit Amazon's S. Walden Page; Review: Let me just start off by saying that the cover to this book does NOTHING for me. I actually dismissed it the first time I saw it, because it just didn't look very professional. But when I went back to it and saw that S. Walden was the author, I knew I had to read it. Bailey may be one of my favorite heroines ever. She was so quirky and sweet, and funny as hell. And as someone who suffers from the crazy that is OCD, I thought she was so well written. I could relate to her... the everyday rituals, the counting, the need to have everything in its right place. The tics can just get overwhelming, that you don't think you much less anyone else wants to deal with it. But it doesn't have to be something that takes away from you as a person, and for that I applaud S. Walden for writing a character with OCD and doing it right. He was utterly adorable in his pursuit of Bailey. He was such a great guy, and was surprisingly hot when he was in private. His wit and charm really won me over. And his ability to deal with Bailey's extreme OCD and actually want to help her manage it won me over. Also, Bailey's best friend Nicki was a great character. She was funny and sweet, and always there for her friend. Its not often that I fall for the side characters, but she was hard to resist. I've read some real duds lately, and LoveLines totally took me out of my slump. There's so much I could say about this book, but I wouldn't really know where to begin. The angst in this book isn't high. And what angst is there stems from Bailey's OCD and her inability at times to overcome it. There are no ridiculous misunderstandings or plotlines thrown in to keep you reading. It's simply a journey of a man and a woman toward love. For me, this book was perfection. As for Reece. Where do I begin?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Guns: The Spencer Book (Rook & Ronin Spinoff); Author: J. a. Huss; Review: This was maybe my least favorite book of the whole Rook and Ronin world. I really did like Veronica and Spencer, but I didn't connect with them like I would have liked. However, they were pretty kicka**. With that said, my absolute favorite part of the book would have to be the epilogue Part 2.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: YI FANG Taiwan Fruit Tea; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 來自臺灣的品牌終於由downtown開到去scarborough ,唔使特登去downtown 都飲到。
[环境]門面唔算大，停車位唔少。店內地方唔大，人多排隊會因為入門口位而分開兩截。店內牆上已列明飲品菜單，和水果黑白插畫。
「粉圓奶茶」用現煮的紅茶做奶茶底，加上自家粉圓。粉圓無珍珠甘大粒，接近1/3的份量系粉圓。選了少糖，奶茶口味淡左d，下次選正常糖比較好。
「招牌水果茶」水果品種唔多，鳳梨薑和百香果肉混合清茶，味道稍微偏甜。如果將百香果的果核去除埋更好。
[服务]店員會詳細介紹推薦招牌飲品，服務態度唔錯，Nice.
總體性價比唔算特別高，不過叫做係奶茶市場上多個選擇咯; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Salad King Restaurant; City: Toronto, ON; Review: downtown RU學生同周邊白領飯堂甘，皆因地理位置好。
[环境]位於dundas地鐵站以北，Ryerson大學對面，招牌唔算好大，要坐電梯到2樓系餐飲區。一半飯堂式對坐，一半係半包廂區。半包廂有窗可以望到街道。飯堂式對坐全部係不銹鋼台同凳，無靠背，不過個人財物可以放系凳下面。無圖文餐牌，全部係餐墊寫晒出黎。
「綠咖哩雞肉飯」好鬼香，賣相雖然一般，但ok好吃，咖哩汁撈飯一流。雞肉係雞柳，少少鞋。
「芒果沙律」好多芒果，份量足，稍微少少酸，幾開胃
[服务]還算可以，服務員會時不時過黎問你覺得出品點。
總體覺得係downtown 吃到不錯的泰菜，又唔太貴，算係甘啦; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Onigiri Kai Kyo Tei; City: Markham, ON; Review: [环境]位于太古广场三楼的民族村内，简单的门面，让人路过时候好易不为意甘miss左。还好门口有摆部大电视播放同介绍饭团文化。
[服务]唔知系唔系日本人，不过服务同态度唔错。只做外卖，无位堂食架。
「吞拿鱼饭团」新鲜整好系好吃d，饭微暖。饭内吞拿鱼沙律还好吧，都够顶肚。唔热气又健康。价钱适中啦！
其他味道饭团的食材来来去去都系果几样，耐唔耐食下还算ok既; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Nomé Izakaya - Shops at Don Mills; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 好耐無去逛shops at don mills,原來呢個角落位換左做【Nome izakaya】居酒屋，之前去過位於yonge同sheppard 的分店，可惜果邊停車比較麻煩，宜家開左分店，終於唔需要為拍車煩惱了。門面同餐廳面積相對比總店大好多，座位寬落坐得舒服。平日的優惠活動同總店一樣，出品唔錯！環境清靜d，適合傾計同情侶用膳; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ramen Isshin; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 按住地图去稳，系一个特色室内美食广场内。
[环境]自己落单自己稳位食，稳到个窗口靓位就几好feel架。
选择大概6-7样甘，唔算多。有肉或全素。落单后大概要等5-8分钟左右，即点即煮系需要d时间。
「味噌拉面」2-3片好薄的叉烧肉，好多芽菜，汤底浓郁，稍微偏咸d。还好唔会太过油，面的口感还算可以。
价钱算中等吧，大冬天食距够暖又够饱，不过男生食的话可能要两碗了; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hashi Izakaya; City: Toronto, ON; Review: [环境]地理位置一流，地鐵站巴士站總站對面。餐廳環境少少暗，用深色原木做裝飾，氣氛唔錯。
「三文魚牛油果沙律」微辣的沙律汁酸甜開胃。
「芥辣八爪魚」芥辣好攻鼻，非常提神。八爪魚碎口感唔錯，開胃小吃之一。
「青龍卷」食材份量足，牛油果控必愛。
「松露油雜菌煲」細細個煲仔，好得意，不過份量唔多。
[服务]服務員隨叫隨到，服務唔錯。上菜速度都算ok.價錢唔算好貴，地點就腳，可以再黎; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Amausaan Uji Matcha; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 終於唔需要翻亞洲都可以食到呢個品牌的抹茶甜品啦。
[环境]開系唐人街dundas st，靠近spadina.門面夠曬特別同搶眼。進店內滿滿日本風，招牌兔公仔系門口接待你。牆上挂住好多繪馬，連洗手間的鑰匙都係挂系繪馬度。
「白玉抹茶物語」賣相唔錯，微苦的抹茶軟雪糕好滑，配搭紅豆泥同軟糯的白玉，糯米小丸子般的口感，唔錯。
價錢中等吧，耐唔耐食下還好。; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Black Bear Japanese Fusion; City: Markham, ON; Review: [环境]停車位唔算多，門面唔算好大，餐廳內座位唔算多，有少少窄。不過人氣唔低甘，晚飯時間基本上坐滿，甚至要排隊。
餐飲選擇唔算好多，小吃、意粉、披薩、漢堡同飲品。雖然寫係Japanese Fusion，但感覺比較偏西化。
「大阪燒牛肉漢堡」份量幾足，漢堡包鬆軟唔會太干身。中間夾住的牛肉漢堡扒有肉汁，大阪燒的汁酸酸甜甜，加埋木魚花。日式做法西式食法都唔錯窩
「玫瑰醬龍蝦尾意粉」意粉軟硬適中，醬汁剛好包住每條意粉，味道剛好。龍蝦尾口感還算過得去。
價錢方面人均大概20-30左右，下次有機會再試下d特色雞尾酒先; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Assembly Chef's Hall; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 位于繁华美食商圈Richmond St,门面唔算好突出，不过内里环境绝对唔错。
[环境]因为系一个迷你的美食广场，里面各式美食共冶一路。门口就见到型格的咖啡店同饰品设计小摊档，夹层位就有明星都爱的企位寿司店、拉面店、汉堡或甜品等等美食。
无论座位、灯饰同设计都几靓，食都食得心情好d; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Jeon Ju Hyang; City: Scarborough, ON; Review: 閨蜜食過話唔錯，中午剛好一起系附近，於是就去醫肚啦
[环境]系星x克隔離，好易穩。停車位又夠多。剛開門所以未有好多人入座。門口一張雙人白色靠背木椅有點網紅風。卡位都坐得幾舒服。仿木屋框架設計的吧台+壽司吧幾有特色。
「前菜」一共有7小碟，份量剛好，最愛食甜薯角、提子甜黃豆、香菜薄餅。泡菜唔會齋咸齋辣，好爽脆。
「土豆豬骨湯」成3大舊豬骨，湯唔會好咸，幾滋味，唔送飯就甘食都唔錯。
「辣炒年糕」甜辣軟糯，年糕唔癡牙。
[服务]店員會講中文，上菜快，服務ok。總體唔錯，唔差于韓國街裡面的韓餐; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Orchid Thai; City: Aurora, ON; Review: 搜索附近的美食見到有泰餐，食開下於是試下。餐廳停車位唔算多，平日晚上無幾多台客甘，進店無耐變成包場吃飯甘，得我一張台。
[环境]店內紫色燈好似有點詭異。細心留意感覺店家花了不少心思係佈置度，泰國佛像同木雕公仔、木裝飾吊椅、牆上貼住不少泰国特色的木雕同相，台面的玻璃下壓住明信片，連服務員都穿著代表泰國的服飾。
「泰式炒金邊粉」Pad Thai,有蝦有雞肉同花生碎系面，配上生芽菜食唔慣。個粉茄汁落多左，偏酸左d。
「魷魚沙律」魷魚片好大舊，不過未夠凍就上菜，變成熱沙律甘。
「泰式燒雞扒」雞肉好結實，口感唔錯，兩件雞扒份量都幾多。
人均30-40元，性價比一般。貌似炒飯先係招牌菜，無點到，唯有再有機會食再叫啦; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Xin Jiang Restaurant; City: Markham, ON; Review: 大都会呢个地方其实都几多美食，西域食府系其中一间。周末饭市坐满兼要排队等位。
[环境]普普通通啦，唔係好靓装修果种。
「一品香羊排」羊肉走油后再同洋葱一起爆香，少少羊肉脂肪好甘香，大概有6旧左右。中意吃羊的人必点。
「凉拌粉皮」卖相一般啦，味道不过不失。
「干锅菜花」够香够爽口，适合送饭。
价钱中上吧，3碟菜人均30左右; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Mill Street Brew Pub; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 天寒地凍逛完舊酒廠剛好系晚飯時間，唔想行甘遠穩野食，离mill street睇睇，還好唔需要排隊就可以入座。
[环境]不過因為飯市人多，所以帶位安排左坐比較逼的細細二人臺，坐得唔算寬落舒服，同埋有d嘈。
餐單里選擇唔算多，前菜、三文治、漢堡同少量西餐主食。
「焗三文魚扒」三文魚好大舊，陪黑色飯同蔬菜，幾好吃。
「牛排薯條套餐」牛排7成熟好好肉汁，牛排上的香料特別之餘又令牛排的味道口感更加正，完全唔需要醬汁都已經好好吃。
人均40元左右就已經好飽啦; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Woodbine Racetrack; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 算系大多市内吧，系市区隔离的怡陶碧谷区，靠近hwy路口，离机场唔算远。场地都ok大，夏天会有跑马，可以系户外看。又可以系室内玩电子机。唔少游客系度玩，好适合等航班或者转机时间长的人，过来玩下放松下。娱乐场内有得玩有得食，d纪念品都唔错; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Liuyishou Hotpot Scarborough; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 成日話去試，講左好耐終於食到。剛好系非飯市高峰期。下午時分以為有落場，原來直落任意食火鍋，正！唔需要排隊！
「醬料」款式唔少，其他地方少見的孜然醬呢度有。「前菜」小吃同 「水果」系埋醬料吧度，自助任食。蜜瓜同菠蘿好甜，好好吃！
「鸳鸯锅」選了少辣的紅油鍋搭唔辣的豬骨湯。
「牛肉」「羊肉」夠大碟，堆到小山般的肉卷，涮幾秒就食得。羊肉稍微騷d，可能有d人會接受唔到
「蝦滑」「墨魚滑」「黃喉」推薦！！蝦滑同墨魚滑食得出鮮味，墨魚滑會食到墨魚粒的口感。
甜品「酒釀圓子」都唔錯，太飽無試到冰粉！唯有下次再食過啦; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Miku; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 听讲呢间野好出名，山长水远去Downtown食距呢餐，按住地图去，系高级大厦的一楼度。
[环境]门口好高好大的木门，好似同出面隔住两个世界甘。入到餐馆几热闹，好多人食野。还好事先订位，唔需要等位。
就座的位置对住落地玻璃忘到街景，墙上彩蓝色大大的鱼图案，好醒目。
「刺身组合」4款鱼生，除了三文鱼唔够肥美，其他都ok。卖相可以
「寿司组合」有手握同箱寿司，比较中意炙烧虾寿司。组合得6件，饿的话吃三碟都无问题。
「鹅肝牛肉」卖相比较西化，鹅肝焦香嫩滑好吃。牛肉粉红刚熟，配西兰花碎。
「抹茶蛋糕」蛋糕配雪糕，抹茶味唔算浓，蛋糕底的脆饼几好食。
总体觉得比较适合老外的口味，食唔出有几高大上。价钱偏高，环境和服务都ok.性价比唔高; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Song Tea; City: Richmond Hill, ON; Review: 聽講同開心茶有得揮的茶飲店，新開張就即管試下。
[环境]位於時代廣場內的角落位置，全店粉紅色做主打，粉紅豹、粉紅papa pig、粉紅火烈鳥、粉紅波波池及一系列粉紅擺设，網紅風少女們最愛。也是打卡拍照熱點
茶飲的飲品名都好有特色。全部形容詞前綴令你印象難忘。
「大吉大利今晚開黑黑提」夠晒應節。茶底都幾滑，唔鞋口。提子肉幾甜，賣相就普通。茶內兩片香水檸檬反而出眾，好香。
總體覺得好適合拍照，自拍。飲品不過不失啦; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ; City: North York, ON; Review: 開左分店系North York,唔需要山長水遠去市中心都可以試到人氣日式燒肉店。
[环境]黑色主調＋柔和的燈光，卡位居多，岩晒情侶或三五知己。
[服务]店員會詢問是否首次到店品嚐，然後會簡單介紹是日精選，下載App可以積分換不同美食。燒肉的過程中會時不時幫換烤盤和加水，服務唔錯
「雙人套餐」有三個檔次，視乎肉的等級和其他配搭。65元雙人套餐適合首次嘗新，唔夠再加其他美食。其實套餐內肉真系足夠食。
「肥牛片」「牛肋片」和醃製過的「辣豬肉片」都唔錯，就算唔加醬汁都夠晒好味。
「炸雞米花」唔油膩夠香口，肉厚，唔錯的前菜小食。
「薄切牛舌」另外點既烤肉類，牛舌幾秒就燒熟，口感好好。推薦！
其實吃一次基本都儲分換到2-4樣品種的美食，有效期半年，有機會會再試和牛; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: KOBE teppanyaki & BBQ; City: Markham, ON; Review: 早排看到宣传所以知道有呢间新开无耐的铁板烧餐厅，不过位置唔算好就脚，停车唔算多。
[环境]平日晚餐时段无乜人，环境还算ok.有日式烧肉区同铁板区。铁板区大概有4-5铁板位。
铁板食品选择唔算多。除了散点，有单人至三/四人餐可选。
「铁板烧龙虾」龙虾尾始终系冷冻品，口感和鲜味同新鲜既肯定有d出入。
「铁板烧带子」带子唔够爽，太霖。
炒饭同炒蔬菜普普通通，唔算有乜特别。
总体觉得一般！; Rating: 3.0/5.0

[服务]效率真的非常低。店内人没几个，不用排队可以直接下单，等下单等了20分钟，每杯饮品制作时间接近10-15分钟。4杯饮品等候时间超过半小时，还以为你在国内排队饮喜茶吗？
「悟空黑钻奶茶」少冰正常甜，甜度有点过了，感觉奶精和糖全掩盖茶味，变成喝奶茶粉的感觉。黑钻啫喱勉强ok.

就算一个人吃饭都唔会闷，可以简坐吧台位，可以边吃边睇大厨点整pizza,口味够纯正。唔知几时会开间系市区呢？; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dragon Legend; City: Markham, ON; Review: 餐厅外的停车场唔算细，不过一到晚市时间一样好难稳位。
[环境]环境比较暗，楼底高，好多中国风元素的装饰物。最特别系有两个大投影。
自助餐取餐区都唔算好细。品种种类都算ok.「北京烤鸭」「海鲜」「秘制猪肉干」「刺身」等等都唔错，比想象中出品要好！
[服务]可能已经过了用餐高峰期，所以服务员收碟都算快。
总体觉得还算ok,下次可以带屋企人去试下; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Duo Patisserie & Cafe; City: Markham, ON; Review: 之前想去试的时候摸門釘，原來星期一唔營業。呢次就簡左平日去。可惜晚左到，去到個展櫃內的甜品麵包選擇所剩無幾了。
「抹茶丹麥穌」抹茶控請必試，抹茶流心醬好滋味，丹麥穌夠松化，正。推薦！
「Nova蛋糕」其實係開心果蛋糕，出面比層朱古力包住，唔會好甜，食得到開心果果仁碎，唔錯。
「榛子拿鐵」即點即做，奶泡綿滑，ok架。
[环境]Cafe座位唔多，見好多人都系外賣多。店鋪細細但都會提供洗手間; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fragrant Bakery; City: Scarborough, ON; Review: 都唔知Midland呢個咁舊的plaza內原來咁多鋪頭，真係孤陋寡聞啦。行香餅舖舖頭細細，又舊又唔起眼，原來係間老店。好多人黎幫襯買賀年糕點同埋老婆餅老公餅。價錢比較經濟實惠。拿拿聲買番個剛出爐的「老婆餅」試下先。少甜軟糯，皮鬆化，果然唔錯; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Four Four South VIllage; City: Toronto, ON; Review: [环境]位於college地鐵站係yonge街以北，酒店對面。从門口落地玻璃透出店內獨特的花色瓷磚，好容易穩到。裝修有點懷舊中國風，木檯木椅子，紅泥磚，綠鐵支花紋玻璃窗。
「紅燒半筋半肉牛肉麵」牛筋霖但又保持到Q攤口感，滿滿骨膠原。牛肉唔癡牙好入味。麵條有勁道，唔錯！個碗好鬼大，成個盆仔甘。
「翠玉黃瓜」酸甜微辣夠脆口，開胃小菜
總體其實ok啦，
[服务]不過唔知系咪廚房漏左整，等了超過15分鐘都未有得食，隔離比我遲离都上菜先過我。; Rating: 3.0/5.0

「原味骨汤米线」配料一堆，一小碟一小碟甘，品种好多数量不多，自己添加。骨汤味道过得去啦，有无落味精就唔肯定，不过吃完后无觉得口干。米线口感还好！
不过吃野的时候店员系度扫地，感觉怪怪地咯; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Yong He All Day Breakfast; City: Markham, ON; Review: 難得有多間24小時食店，可以比夜貓多個選擇。因為一單老闆的英雄事件，令餐廳人氣急升。
[环境]餐廳環境光猛明亮，牆上有介紹中式早餐的插畫和介紹。木台木凳，好北方的懷舊街邊感覺。
除了豆漿油條等簡易小吃，餐牌上都有唔少選擇。
「羊肉汤」小鍋盛，明火熱著。湯有濃濃的羊騷味，有d人會覺得唔習慣，我覺得羊就系要有呢種騷香味。羊雜唔算多，味道還算可以。
「東北涼皮」好多豆皮絲，涼皮有口感，芝麻醬的味道稍微淡左d。和青瓜絲一起攪拌好，清涼爽滑，不錯。
[服务]服務員態度不錯，Nice有禮貌。
可以翻尋味的小店，下次早d起身离試下地道早餐先; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Spoonful; City: Brampton, ON; Review: 听同事讲呢间自助餐好多野吃，于是mark低。是日去完outlet就过离试下Dinner 出品如何。
[环境]餐厅位于角落位，有个大停车场。用餐区有分小桌同人多坐的大长桌。小桌区自成一角，紫色方格装饰搭配黄灯，几有特色。
「自助餐品种」选择唔少：长蟹脚、生蚝、寿司刺身、沙律冷盘、即点即做炒意粉/泰式炒河、炸物、中式点心、甜品雪糕水果等等，真系好多。少见的焗牛骨髓、烧西柚、豆腐花都有得食。
推荐：「烟三文鱼」「烧西柚」「烧菠萝」「龙虾汤」「焗带子」「翡翠萝」
[服务]店员好快收碟，保持客桌不会乱糟糟。生日会有优惠。
总体觉得算系几唔错的自助餐，价钱对得住品种同味道。唯独有点远，未必刻意去食; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Hutaoli Music Restaurant & Bar; City: Markham, ON; Review: 真假胡桃裡係同一條路上，真胡桃裡準備正式開業，試業期間去探店。
[环境]真系非常適合拍照，店家好用心裝飾同佈置，从進門后見到大堂就好似一個花園甘。餐廳中間係迷你Live舞臺，背後大大屏幕，加上周圍的懷舊裝飾，好特別。
「養生黑豆腐」其實唔係好黑，好似黑豆漿甘灰灰地，ok滑，不過豆腐睇到好多氣孔。價錢偏貴。
「口水雞」份量好少，就系一隻雞腿切開而已？
「有機花菜」炒得幾香，爽脆。
「椒麻北極貝」椒夠香，唔覺得麻。幾好吃，推薦！缺點是份量非常少，當前菜小食就算了？
[服务]人手唔係有夠，有時要等下先叫到服務員。
總體覺得環境氣氛確實好唔錯，菜式選擇唔算多，價格偏高。性價比一般; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Tasty Pot; City: Richmond Hill, ON; Review: 之前去台湾都唔够时间试臭臭锅，原来系Richmond Hill都可以食到。
[环境]位于Time Square内，晚饭时间要等一阵先有位。
主打台式杂锦锅。有臭臭锅、海鲜锅、麻辣锅、沙茶锅、羊腩锅等等。全部锅系菜单度显示晒图、包含的食材和价钱甘。
「臭臭锅」其实都唔臭，一个锅其实都够两个女仔分享，可以配白饭/冬粉。菜多肉少，唔需要点酱汁都够晒味。
价钱又抵，10几廿元个锅。

[环境]位于Midland的Hi Tea茶室系长形设计，都几多客座。另外一边的沙发位可以话系打卡点，有logo霓虹燈。墙上有好多熟悉的粤式词句。
「Darling柠檬茶」用左青柠非黄柠，香度高，好似喷左柠檬香水系个口度甘。茶底唔錯，唔鞋口。可惜冰塊份量無得減。
價錢中高啦，一杯差不多要6-7元; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Northern Dumpling Kitchen; City: Richmond Hill, ON; Review: [环境]铺头细细间，饭市时间人气唔差，上次想食因为要等位所以无试到。過左高峰期離就舒服d。靠窗一邊系卡座。
菜式選擇唔少：
「餛飩湯」比想像中好吃，肉餡有口感，有紫菜同芫荽係湯度，一起食好香。
「冬菇豬肉蒸餃」一籠有10只，餃子皮唔干唔硬又唔會過厚，剛好包住肉汁滿滿的冬菇肉餡，唔太鹹。餃子出品唔錯，推薦！！
「樟茶鴨」半隻都幾多肉，唔干身的鴨肉，難怪朋友推薦。

Title: Liwan Kitchen; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 係國泰商場內，靠近邊位。停車位唔算多。
[环境]店鋪都唔算細，有卡位有圓臺任君選擇。
菜單內選擇，除了一般的腸粉粥外，仲有煲仔飯、碟頭飯同小食等
「韭黃豬潤腸」布拉腸粉ok滑溜，豬潤唔少，差唔多淡淡都吃到。腸粉份量足，腸粉豉油味道調教得唔錯。
價錢方面比較實惠。見朋友食的煲仔飯唔錯，下次要試下; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Harbin Bbq; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 之前经过闻到阵阵香味，流晒口水。于是稳晚过来吃宵夜试试。平日晚上好似无乜人甘，唔算好旺。

「炭烧扇贝」本来点生蚝，生蚝无货唯有点扇贝。16.99有点贵，得6只，而且似蒸多过烧，完全无半点烧的香味，扇贝肉唔够结实，唔推荐。

[环境]唔错，明显的小资风格，有沙发座同普通客座。简单的艺术画同金色镂空空间屏障成为设计特色。
「牛排骨肉饭」牛排好霖，唔痴牙，好入味，厚切，口感唔错。
「绿咖哩海鲜意粉」唔辣但超香，原来绿咖哩唔配饭配意粉一样甘好吃
价格都系10+元起，中等价格。下次可以试试蛋糕咖啡，叹个下午茶; Rating: 4.0/5.0

[环境]位于金茂中心里面的小店Matcha tea&Desert,铺面唔系马路面，系路面有个入口，系商场里面。店铺好细，不设堂食客座，所以个个都系排队买完就边行边吃。主打「大白兔奶糖冰淇淋」「好立克冰淇淋」「银箔软雪糕」等等小时候热饮口味的软雪糕。所以铺面摆放唔少呢d味道用品陈列。
「大白兔奶糖冰淇淋」个人觉得无想象中甘正，反而老麦个软雪糕奶味更浓郁。不过呢个大白兔冰淇淋好就好在唔会过甜。; Rating: 3.0/5.0

[环境]位于金茂中心里面的小店Matcha tea&Desert,铺面唔系马路面，系路面有个入口，系商场里面。店铺好细，不设堂食客座，所以个个都系排队买完就边行边吃。主打「大白兔奶糖冰淇淋」「好立克冰淇淋」「银箔软雪糕」等等小时候热饮口味的软雪糕。所以铺面摆放唔少呢d味道用品陈列。

Title: J-Town By The Sea; City: Markham, ON; Review: 以前的j-town by the sea鱼市场系日本人主理，易手左几次，听讲系香港人主理。
[服务]Whatever ,宜家的料理唔再放系雪柜内自选，用图片代替。落单后自己稳位坐低，有专人送上餐系你面前。
「三文鱼海胆饭」份量唔多，三文鱼刺身算新鲜，但唔系厚切。海胆系波士顿海胆，海胆味一般浓。仲有三文鱼鱼子，但饭份量唔多，男士的话吃两碗都唔过份。
「油甘鱼刺身」鱼味浓，唔错。
总体觉得性价比唔算高，饭堂般环境，午市时段都唔少人帮衬。如果选择多d就更好了; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Centennial Park Conservatory; City: Toronto, ON; Review: Centennial park呢度個溫室花園係公園入口處【Rathburn rd】果邊，花園有三個區。一個系熱帶多肉區，中間係園林區，另外一邊係繡球花園。園林區有水池又有錦鯉，又有座位坐下，感覺好恬靜好寫意啊; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Centennial Park; City: Etobicoke, ON; Review: 公園离機場好近，所以好多時可以抬頭望到飛機起飛或降落。公園有個大湖，湖上同岸邊有加拿大鵝歇息，好寫意。公園有一邊有成排櫻花樹，一到櫻花季節就好多人离影相，幾熱鬧架。公園面積幾大，但大樹唔算多，夏天都幾曬下; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Versus Coffee; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 聽講是網紅Cafe之一，皆因彩虹拉花熱飲真系非常吸睛。無論係「抹茶拿鐵」還是「楓糖拿鐵」，拉花造型同顏色都係超靚的藝術品。而且價格唔算貴，同連鎖星XX差不多。
[环境]比較簡約，白色為主。
[服务]咖啡師+收銀係個藍眼靚仔，好Nice又識講笑。
唯一唔好係好早關門咯; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: DonDon Izakaya; City: Toronto, ON; Review: [环境]地理位置非常好，离著名的Eaton centre购物中心好近，居酒屋系二楼，留意下门牌号就稳到。入口好细，居酒屋内比较黑d，但气氛非常好，酒吧位一排日本清酒做装饰，仲有包厢的榻榻米坐。
「刺身拼盘」各刺身ok新鲜，厚切口感几唔错。
「大阪烧庵列」大阪烧的制作方式，换成庵列底，无左猪肉片同菜丝。蛋非常香滑，做早餐仲正。
「三文鱼箱压寿司」炙烧做法，唔需要点豉油就已经好好吃。
如果唔想等位，最好错开吃饭高峰期就更好; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Burger King; City: Markham, ON; Review: [环境]位於華人聚集的萬錦hwy7同woodbine附近。獨立整棟門店，自帶獨立停車場。座位有接近一半都系窗口位同卡座，坐得舒適。進店門口隔離就系兒童遊樂區。
每日都有特價食品，也會有限時特價套餐，超抵。兩個漢堡加薯條加汽水先5蚊，兩個女仔分享當下午茶，份量剛剛好。當然男生們就可以一個餐食晒; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Running Pig; City: Markham, ON; Review: [环境]位于大都会广场内，近停车场果边。门面睇落唔起眼。店内地方细，客座唔多，见好多人都系外卖为主。墙上有关于招牌猪脚的制作介绍，同埋彩图便当菜单。
「炸大肠便当」大肠洗得干净，中间夹着香葱，外皮有点脆，香口有嚼劲，唔错。便当内配菜也多。成个便当份量十足。价格适中，唔错。下次要试下个招牌霸王猪脚先; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Luscious 5; City: Markham, ON; Review: 中文叫五味廚房，門口入口係大樓側面入，有輕微隱蔽。環境偏暗，裝修一般啦，比較中意靠窗邊的座位。餐廳主打日本菜同少少西餐。
柚子汁三文魚沙律
擺盤ok啦，酸酸甜甜柚子汁幾開胃。
刺身拼盤
中規中矩
燒大菇沙律
原只大菇扒燒好切片，陪黑醋沙律汁，好好吃，份量夠大可以當正餐了。
龍蝦燒帶子白汁意粉
呢個唔錯，龍蝦尾同帶子雖然系急凍品，但口感無影響度。意粉軟硬適中，估不到西餐出品ok窩。
總體覺得還算可以啦，雖然日餐選擇多，但西餐好似比日餐好吃d甘; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: EAT BKK Thai Kitchen & Bar; City: Toronto, ON; Review: Yonge同steels上多數係韓國餐，少有泰國餐開系度，位置係yonge同Steels星巴克隔离。
[环境]好就好在餐厅后面有个小型停车场，唔需要特登比钱停车。餐厅其实好细间，一入门口就看到泰国独特的三轮车，呢个摆设几适合影相。墙上有好夸张的色彩泰国神佛涂鸦，非常抢眼。
餐单就几张纸，无图，选择唔算多。
「Morning Glory salad」炸左的蔬菜配上开胃泰式酸汁，吃得出有鱼露的香，唔油腻，感觉有少少泰式天妇罗甘，份量几多下。
「软壳蟹饭」好够味，偏咸，好彩跟的系白饭。
「泰式奶茶」好饮，几正宗。
总体就性价比可以，价钱中等; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Patisserie Kirin; City: Markham, ON; Review: [环境]位于warden和hwy7公寓区路面店，近马路面，所以停车后要行翻去路面的入口。店内风格黑白灰性冷淡风，长长的蛋糕展柜摆放颜色丰富的甜点：牛油包、甜点、泡芙卖相满分。收银位后面墙上有餐单，清晰列名各饮品雪糕的价钱。
「提拉米苏挞」球形的提拉米苏放系朱古力挞面上。提拉米苏好滑溜，朱古力挞内的朱古力好滑好香浓。推荐！！！
「抹茶泡芙」抹茶酱满满，抹茶味够浓，抹茶控必爱。
总体觉得呢度几适合三五知己聊天叹下靓蛋糕甜点，人唔多，比较清静。几舒服; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: You Don Ya; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 難得呢度開始有蓋飯專門店，仲要好近eaton centre，於是去探店。剛好過了飯市高峰期，比較少人。店內窄長形空間，座位唔算少，環境稍微暗。餐牌係彩圖卡紙，選擇唔算多：熟肉蓋飯、天婦羅蓋飯、魚生蓋飯、壽司和小吃飲品等。
「油甘魚石鍋飯」油甘魚魚生舖系飯面，通過石鍋熱力慢慢變熟，並淋上菇菇醬汁，味道ok,油甘魚就少了魚油的口感，都系刺身好吃d。
「箱壓鰻魚壽司」好大舊，除了面頭的鰻魚外，壽司中間夾紫菜味粉，靠鰻魚汁吊味。一客6件，都夠頂肚。
總體覺得魚生蓋飯選擇唔多，所以無試到。希望以後有多d新款選擇啦; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Patisserie Fleur; City: Markham, ON; Review: [环境]位於downtown markham電影院對面。門面唔算細，好似比較低調的招牌。進店內，樓底高，落地玻璃牆透光，乾花佈置配搭簡約風格的沙發，好小資的感覺。
菜單系投影到牆上，幾有特色。蛋糕柜內擺放去藝術品般的蛋糕甜點，非常養眼。
「拿鐵」和「朱古力慕斯蛋糕」用合體的託盤裝住，好靚。拿鐵不過不失，蛋糕好滑溜，朱古力唔太漏，非常滋味。
總體覺得環境滿分，出品不錯，而且夜晚唔會太早關，約朋友傾計幾適合。; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mapo Korean BBQ; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 闻说好多人话呢间韩式烤肉店好好吃，有机会去开呢头，决定试试。特登提早去吃，结果系唔需要等位。
[环境]旧式韩国杂志海报和复古产物做装饰布置，够晒怀旧。卡位座位都算做得舒服。
「烤大肠」本身系熟，烤翻焦香，份量唔少，吃得多有少少腻。
「烤猪颈肉」「烤牛肩肉」味道唔太特别，无话特别好吃甘。
[服务]店员一时帮烤，一时又唔出声甘，都唔知系自己烤定距服务我。叫人又唔回应听唔到甘。
性价比低，价钱中上，味道一般，可能对韩式烤肉唔太了解; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Toyosu Markham; City: Markham, ON; Review: [环境]位于kennedy朗豪坊的二楼，扶手电梯一出转右的角落位店铺就睇到，门面迷你。只做外带。
[服务]门口的广告牌系party tray的价钱，更多选择可以睇价钱牌单，又可以添加微信提前落单。因为得两个人做野，所以如果要得多就会等得比较耐。
主打新鲜刺身，即叫即切。某些热门的刺身会好快卖晒，有时会断货，最好提早打个电话问下有无，免白走食唔到心水刺身。
「自定义刺身卷物拼盘」刺身新鲜，三件为一个order.卷物饭粒松软。「牛奶鱼刺身」又叫白吞拿，未完全解冻，咬落一口冰甘。
「海胆红虾饭」呢个饭卖相满分，虾肉鲜甜够大只，温哥华海胆够大够完整，加埋三文鱼子，一流！推荐！; Rating: 4.0/5.0

「忌廉酱包」「朱古力酱包」「抹茶酱包」已经整好晒，包好系雪柜度。要乜味就现成打包好。选择的味道得几种。个包除了软无咩特别，中间奶油酱唔系太甜，味道中规中矩。价钱接近4元个。性价比就见仁见智啦; Rating: 3.0/5.0

落单系一张纸，同去日本吃的拉面店模式一样，一面日文一面英文。可选款式不多，汤底浓度，面粗幼度，配菜选择等自我打勾。
「博多黑拉面」黑芝麻加落豚骨湯度所以黑色，湯底OK，但黑芝麻味道不算濃。豚骨片好薄，木耳絲爽脆好口感。面的軟硬度適中。但唔算好驚喜好特別。

Title: Charidise; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 位于balwin st的charidise门面唔细，唔留意看门口的菜单，以为系老外餐厅，其实系台式快餐茶饮店。
[环境]店内地方几大下，二楼的环境几唔错，有露天的阳台。天气好的时候，天然太阳光照射非常舒服。食品方面除了传统的台式便当，还有饮品、甜点等。
「鹽酥雞飯」盐酥鸡味道不够浓，炸得算香口，蔬菜太少。10几元一个饭，性价比唔算高，靠环境好搭够; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Ho Sushi Express; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 朋友话呢间寿司外卖店几多人帮衬下，貌似唔错，于是路经就去买黎试试。店铺好细，得2-3张高凳坐，都系打包吃得舒服d。餐牌上选择以party tray较多，盖饭都有。价钱中等，唔算贵。当然提前打电话预订更好，唔使等。点左个刺身寿司卷物拼盘36件。刺身都几新鲜，厚切肥美。寿司的饭团唔大，鱼生完全遮盖旧饭，呢样几唔错。卷物包得松软。性价比几高; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shi Miao Dao; City: Toronto, ON; Review: [环境]店靠路邊，大部分位置對住落地玻璃，所以幾光猛，位置鬆動坐得舒服。
「青花椒鱼米线」落單無耐好快上菜，可能有10秒甘快吧。呢個米線湯底幾ok,好似食緊酸菜魚甘。好香花椒,微辣湯底唔口渴。魚片用魚骨龍利魚柳。米線口感ok,幾滑。

「冲绳黑糖珍珠奶茶」点左热饮，少甜。以为珍珠会唔好吃，但竟然唔错，几烟韧弹牙，唔会太霖或太硬。黑糖奶茶无奶精味。合格！; Rating: 3.0/5.0

[环境]店的裝修一貫舊式撞色風格，彩色搭配係Cora特色。餐牌圖文並茂，圖片的食物好靚，鹹甜早餐都有得選擇。
「班尼迪克蛋」呢個早餐差不多係我去cora都會點，中意benny賣相，水波流心蛋好正。
呢度仲可以因應唔同人對蛋數量的要求，benny可以有1-3只蛋的份量， 如果好餓的話，一份benny早餐絕對飽到下午。
價錢方面都系10幾元起，當lunch吃的話，其實價位都系甘上下咯; Rating: 4.0/5.0

大概软绵绵，震下震下咁，微甜，tiramisu酱汁好好味，唔够侯可以加埋跟餐的朱古力淋埋落去。

[环境]确系唔错，楼底高显得好有气派。二楼三楼系其他餐厅，地下系拉面店。
拉面选择唔算多，多数做老外生意，所以饮品选择相对多d。
「柚子白豉油拉面」卖相一般啦，汤底有柚子香气，但偏咸。拉面口感ok,配料有几旧烧鸡肉+一扎葱丝同九层塔。

[环境]门面简约但有特色，所以唔难稳到。餐厅内环境唔算华丽，有点旧。女店員全部穿和服，基本上成间店都系日本人离，仲见到唔少日本人 食客帮衬。
餐厅内近门口位系Teriyaki吧台位，过d系寿司吧台。四五个寿司师傅忙碌地整寿司。
「厨师精选寿司」好软熟的寿司饭，醋味唔过火。三文鱼寿司、白吞拿寿司入口即溶甘，好好吃。
「刺身杂锦」5种鱼刺身，厚切，满分！
「日式烧安格斯牛」牛肉非常霖，好软，牛味同烧汁结合得好好，7成熟非常正！

Soft Opening有20% OFF,店内环境装修普通啦，唔算特别。有一边系落地玻璃显得光猛。座位唔少。
菜单选择上有主食（拉面/饭）+小食，唔算多款，一张图文并茂的卡纸。同纯日本拉面点不同的系：无面的软硬度及粗细度选择。
除了传统的拉面味道，仲有高级d的鲍鱼海鲜拉面同龙虾芝士拉面（可选半只/一只）。
龙虾芝士拉面（半只）卖相有d普通，同图片肯定有出入架啦，半只龙虾但有两只钳，龙虾尾有厚芝士系面，味道不过不失，龙虾尾有点细。面内仲有一只流心蛋同几片叉烧肉。
黑蒜油拉面的汤底系味噌汤，都几浓郁。叉烧腩肉相对好吃d，少少肥，甘香d，无净瘦甘柴。流心蛋整得唔错，好吃。推荐！

Soft Opening有20% OFF,店内环境装修普通啦，唔算特别。有一边系落地玻璃显得光猛。座位唔少。
菜单选择上有主食（拉面/饭）+小食，唔算多款，一张图文并茂的卡纸。同纯日本拉面点不同的系：无面的软硬度及粗细度选择。
除了传统的拉面味道，仲有高级d的鲍鱼海鲜拉面同龙虾芝士拉面（可选半只/一只）。
龙虾芝士拉面（半只）卖相有d普通，同图片肯定有出入架啦，半只龙虾但有两只钳，龙虾尾有厚芝士系面，味道不过不失，龙虾尾有点细。面内仲有一只流心蛋同几片叉烧肉。
黑蒜油拉面的汤底系味噌汤，都几浓郁。叉烧腩肉相对好吃d，少少肥，甘香d，无净瘦甘柴。流心蛋整得唔错，好吃。推荐！

Title: Mogouyan; City: Toronto, ON; Review: [环境]位于yonge同bloor以南，某地盘隔离，其实中文招牌好易留意到。
店铺长形设计，一入门口位置就系面档位，师傅系度忙碌地拉面。
面积关系座位有少少斋，保留中国风的特色，所以会睇到墻上的仿墨水画风同木质的家具。
菜单内图文并茂，清楚写明各美食辣度和不同Size的价格。
「凉拌麻酱面」一人份量算够，如果唔太饿其实也可以两人分享。面的劲道算不错，味道还好，加点辣椒油我觉得更好。
「椒麻鸡丝」香味可以，辣度适中，觉得不够辣可以自己加辣油。加点芝麻卖相更好些。
总体觉得在yonge bloor呢个商圈，这种简餐店算是多个选择。附近的越南粉、西式快餐、日本菜，现在总算多个中式拉面可以挑; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Gyu Hito Japanese BBQ Restaurant; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 之前经过见好多人排队，于是就稳左个平日晚上8点几的时间过去，依然要等位。话可以留低电话，有位就call。结果电话都系响左一声就无，唔为意就miss左，结果打翻过去系隔离茶饮店的电话，晕！
翻到餐厅仲话系因为我电话打不通，系真唔系啊？！
坐低角落位无耐后看下餐牌【长形纸卡】，就一页甘多品种。蔬菜类好快就上菜，反而烧野吃一段时间，水都未有杯。
食材方面：
「厚切牛舌」系条状，好烧d，比薄切好吃好多。推荐！
「猪肠」系熟的再烧翻香，中间d肥膏无清除，会有点油腻。
「极上肉眼排」原件上，餐台上有黑椒同盐可以自己调味，可惜无配刀叉。肉排有d鞋，肉味一般。细食吃一件就饱一半，唔建议点。
「横切牛肋肉」同「葱蒜牛腹肉」口感上差不多。
「牛五花薄片」，「无骨牛小排」和「酱味牛仔骨」都几好。
不推荐：「野菌奶油烧」，「鱿鱼」和「青口」一般。「奶油玉米」味道稍淡。「酒煮蛤蜊」好淡，酒香味无乜。「蘑菇」开半切，烧起身无原只咁过瘾。
推荐：「菠萝」、「芦笋」分量少d，不过好吃。
甜品选择无乜，就雪条一种
服务就一般，稳个服务员要叫几次。仲要只收现金，固定12%服务费，而且系税后添。性价比唔高; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: SCENIC Coffee + Brunch; City: Markham, ON; Review: [环境]同隔離髮廊連體店，一進店就睇到吧台的老外店員忙碌地做野，自己穩位坐低。
[服务]店員一直話稍等，結果一直都無杯水飲，連menu都系自己去吧台度攞黎睇。落單后等成接近15分鐘先上飲品「芝麻拿鐵」。等左20分鐘上第一個餐「蘑菇多士」。等左30分鐘終於上埋最後一個餐「店同名的THE SCENIC」。龜速啊[尴尬][尴尬]
「芝麻拿鐵」芝蔴餬+牛奶般，都幾ok.怕奶茶/咖啡唔受得，呢杯芝麻拿鐵係個唔錯的選擇。
「蘑菇多士」一片多士仔唔明點解要整甘耐？？多士烘得系幾脆，味道唔錯。
「店同名的THE SCENIC」多士+土豆泥+普通炒蛋+兩片午餐肉+一撮沙律菜，邊樣需要整30分鐘呢？味道普通啦，無咩驚喜。
簡單d講可以話系無服務可言，太慢了。唔會想再去第二次; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Piggy's; City: Thornhill, ON; Review: [环境]係一個唔太大的plaza內，停車位唔算多，因為周邊都系食肆，好容易無車位。門面夠大夠醒目。一般晚餐時間都要等下位。如果只吃日式烤肉的話就坐戶外座位，唔使等位。
大部分人都係食韓式烤肉多，菜單上的肉類款式多以牛豬鷄鴨肉等。價錢都係2人份起。份量算夠，加上一堆「泡菜」系列，成6-8碟，吃得晒都飽一半。比較少吃的豬皮凍、酸甜開胃的青瓜酸、經典泡菜、沙律生菜、海鮮煎餅小份、辣醬生菜等。
「肥牛卷」是特惠吧，52元2人份，算係菜單內比較划算的價格。味道都係靠醬料，還好吧。比較特別是烤盤是長形麥飯石，打斜放在爐上，邊烤肉邊把多餘的油分滴落爐邊，食起身不會太油膩。
總體覺得還是算不錯，人多去食更加好，可以吃多幾款肉，食肉獸民族必打卡; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Fisherman Lobster King; City: Scarborough, ON; Review: 见改左名，又环境ok甘，就同长辈一起吃个晚饭聚聚。点知点菜的时候，要乜无乜，招牌菜都话无。
「腐乳通菜」和隔离的X粥记比，份量差好多，味道还算可以。
「蒜蓉生蚝」3元多一只，都唔肥，中规中矩。
「椒盐鱿鱼」香味ok,味道稍微淡左d。
上菜速度慢，「招牌烤鸡」（半只）等左成半个钟，其它菜都差不多吃完了，催左几次先上。皮微脆，过得去吧。
[服务]服务员好似唔够甘，叫个人都稳唔到人，大台有几台，但不算好忙，先坐满一半。哎！！无下次！！; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: LeTAO; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 之前都系網到有見過下，話好出名好好吃。難得開左門店，唔需要代購都食到，於是去試試。
[环境]店鋪外牆白色，藍色招牌係角落位，好細，唔算突出。唔留意的話都有機會Miss左。
店內長型設計，藍白色做主調。近門口係自家產品展示區，隔離系甜點模型展示柜同收銀台。靠裡面係客座。菜單系牆上。有分單點過套餐，選擇唔算多。
「招牌Double芝士蛋糕」一個切餅加左水果賣相好法式，但系好細，大食d的話真系兩淡就搞掂。一件成6-7元，吃慢d，細淡d，試真d味好d。講真覺得同出面超市雪住賣的進口北海道芝士蛋糕差唔多，都系 入口即化，奶香濃郁。加埋水果點綴，還算ok啦。
「Ice Lemon Honey」完全唔識冲甘，係人都知蜜糖係冰水度唔攪拌米唔化开咯。d蜜糖掛壁，飲落口只飲到冰水，飲唔到蜜糖。仲要4元幾一杯[弱]
總體覺得性價比一般，唔值得刻意去試; Rating: 3.0/5.0

「招牌Double芝士蛋糕」一個切餅加左水果賣相好法式，但系好細，大食d的話真系兩淡就搞掂。一件成6-7元，吃慢d，細淡d，試真d味好d。講真覺得同出面超市雪住賣的進口北海道芝士蛋糕差唔多，都系 入口即化，奶香濃郁。加埋水果點綴，還算ok啦。
「Ice Lemon Honey」完全唔識冲甘，係人都知蜜糖係冰水度唔攪拌米唔化开咯。d蜜糖掛壁，飲落口只飲到冰水，飲唔到蜜糖。仲要4元幾一杯[弱]
總體覺得性價比一般，唔值得刻意去試; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Restoran Malaysia; City: Richmond Hill, ON; Review: 好多年前食过，因为偏北面，好少去果头，甘岩附近办完事就顺便帮衬下。刚好饭市，需要等位10几分钟。
[环境]门口有张木沙发比人等候用，前台位已列名只收现金。座位感觉同台对比有d高。有少少嘈。
「咖哩鸡配薄饼」薄饼新鲜整好热辣辣，好软又带点劲，咖哩鸡味道香浓，点咖哩汁吃饼，好滋味又饱肚。
「青芒果沙拉」芒果唔酸，爽甜，好开胃。
总体觉得，碟头偏大，人多叫主食可以多d人分享。如果2-3个人叫碟饭，都吃唔晒其他送了; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Crazy Crepes; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 新开无耐的日式甜点店。
[环境]门面好细，不过门口橱窗摆放各种可丽饼的模型，色彩艳丽，几吸引。店内地方唔算大，长形设计。靠里面有好大只熊公仔，供客人拍照用。台和座椅都好有特色，透明设计加独角兽公仔做台的支撑物，又系拍照点之一。可丽饼选择好多，有咸有甜，唔想太饱就唔好选择带成旧芝士蛋糕的系列。
「芒果奶油可丽饼」即点即做的饼底好软熟好香，cream一d都腻，芒果大粒又甜，不过就得面头几粒而已。好似吃雪糕咁卷住吃，都几好味。; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Konjiki Ramen Downtown; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 从第一间店试过后，回味无穷。downtown开了分店，而且地理位置好就脚。门面也比第一间店大体，白砖小洋楼似西餐店般。店内环境系长形格局，台上有两本menu,可选《秋光》天妇罗系列或《金色不如归》拉面系列。
两款招牌拉面：蚬汤底和豚骨浓汤底之前试过了，见有牛油果素食拉面于是试试。
拉面汤底系粉绿色，饮落口感觉到牛油果味道，和豆浆汤底一起一d违和感都无，唔错。拉面内配料玉米粒、南瓜片、原只流心蛋、豆腐、番茄等。味道唔差于非素食拉面
可惜服务方面有点不足，落单后等了15分钟催单，店员发觉忘了下单。再等了10分钟多上菜，确没配汤勺。吃个面花了接近1小时-_-; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Vanta Coffee Club & Eatery; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 【环境】位于brimley和sheppard的交界。正确来说，BLACKGOLD是在铁路天桥脚旁，店铺是在路面，但好容易进错隔离东方广场的入口，前一个入口才是对的。和药房同一座大楼。
闲日不忙，人也不多。只有一个店员看店。
基本上都是落地玻璃墙，所以好光猛，阳光好时候甚至有些刺眼。靠路面果边系高凳，其他是简约风的桌椅。不算得上环境非常好，至少感觉舒服、休闲和放松。
餐单在吧台上，热饮、冷饮、三文治等。辛苦一下抬头慢慢挑。和其他咖啡厅差不多，收银旁的展柜有各包点、蛋糕曲奇。
【Raspberry White Hot Chocalate】树莓热白朱古力卖相已经很不错，玫红和白的颜色搭配颜值高分，朱古力甜度适中，不过觉得很腻。
这里的三文治分量超级给力，一份绝对抵一个午餐，男女都够饱。
【烟三文鱼三文治】内有cream cheese、番茄、烟三文鱼、洋葱丝、生菜。面包烘得很脆，每一口都很丰富。
【烤牛肉三文治】看到好多层牛肉，很适合食肉兽控。
餐具都是全黑色，令食物卖相加分不少。价位中等，在scarborough华人居住这么多的地方有这么一家不错的cafe,都不用刻意去downtown了。
【小tips】如果由北往南过去的话（on birimley）过了天桥第一个路口左转就是，停车位都算充足。晚上7点半就关门。; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cafe Login; City: Vaughan, ON; Review: 位于Yonge and Steeles西北角果边，系一个旧plaza最里面的位置，因为周边都系食肆，车位容易紧张。
[环境]有点西洋怀旧风，旧黑胶唱片做天花装饰，仲有旧风琴、旧电话、旧车牌等做摆设，几有味道。座位唔算少，闲日时间都会坐满。
「蓝莓慕斯蛋糕」卖相满分，紫色亮面加旁边白色朱古力片衬托。蓝莓酱系蛋糕中间，慕斯幼滑唔会太甜。推荐！！
自家制的水果茶都唔错。可以热饮冻饮。
总体觉得环境唔错，出品ok,价钱适中，拍拖或朋友聚会都好适合; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tiger Sugar; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 在college和dundas之间的央街上。门面不算大，黑色的招牌，【虎】字系亮点。店内地方算细，排队下单的话第七第八个人就已经排系门口出面了。还好小姐姐们的效率唔低，唔需要等太耐。
店内有4张高凳可以比客人坐坐。纸巾、饮管、饮品单随便自用。【虎虎生风】和【虎】灯箱系店内最突出的布置。
招牌【老虎堂黑糖波霸厚鲜奶】卖相和宣传单上一样，黑糖挂杯，如老虎纹般，系几特别。味道方面就无乜惊喜，冰太多，饮多两淡已经无一半。珍珠口感还好，黑糖个人觉得甜

Title: Elephant Grind Coffee; City: Richmond Hill, ON; Review: 位于写字楼区不起眼的一间细细Coffee Shop,隔离都系d小食肆，唔算繁华商圈地带，所以唔算好热闹。招牌简简单单，但店内人气不俗。陆陆续续不少人帮衬。
[环境]少少園林+红砖墙的布置，有点小资风，几适合cofe的风格。
「抹茶拿铁」抹茶粉好给力，好浓，拉花好靓。推荐！
「烟三文鱼benedict」卖相不错，水波蛋好滋味。烟三文鱼很大件，几好食。
总体觉得性价比不错，选择虽然不算多，出品几好。只做早午餐时间，下午收好早; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Xing Fu Tang; City: Richmond Hill, ON; Review: 新开的奶茶店，闻听源自于台湾第一品牌古法手炒黑糖珍珠。
[环境]店铺好细，系时代广场南园隔离。店内客座只有数张。除了收银台同水吧外，系收银隔离有个大锅，女店员系度整黑糖珍珠，真材实料甘。而收银对面系签盒，可以玩抽签后自己按签号稳自己抽签内容。
奶茶选择品种相比起同场的SONG TXX少d。
「黑糖珍珠鲜奶」有奶盖系面的感觉，唔会太甜，珍珠烟韧口感不错。认真品尝会饮到不单有黑糖，还加了焦糖，所以有点太妃奶糖的感觉; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fuji Lamb House; City: Scarborough, ON; Review: 好彩提早少少去，坐低落单后就开始有人排队等位了。呢度好旺场下，虽然个入口有点鬼鼠，但一样好多人捧场。
「羊杂汤」招牌菜之一，埂要试试，几香浓，中意有少少骚的香味，都几多料。
「东北大拉皮」几大碟下，适合3-4个人share，两个人吃的话，吃晒就好饱了。
「干锅手撕包菜」稍微咸左d。
其他小菜出品可以，份量足，最紧要系价钱唔贵。如果抛开环境离讲，呢度性价比都几高; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chung Chun Rice Hotdog; City: Toronto, ON; Review: 由首尔开到多伦多的网红美食！！
招牌已经有热狗logo,不懂韩文不怕，【感性】两个中文字也醒目看到。晚饭时间过去已经看见一堆人在店內排队。
店铺很小，收银台上面就是彩图菜单，7-8款韩式热狗棒任君选择，当然要数最高人气的之一芝士热狗棒。下单后店家即场制作，需要等候些时间。做好后叫号取餐。
近进门处是DIY调味区。各种酱汁、几种芝士粉、糖粉等一排列开，要咸要甜要辣自己弄。
芝士热狗棒算是挺粗的，直径差不多大半个乒乓球般。外皮的米做的皮，好脆好香，一点都不油。一口咬下去，一拉就是长长芝士馅，芝士控一定无法抵挡。
吃完上半场的芝士，就到下半场的热狗肠登场。
一条网红热狗棒三种口感，先脆，到软香芝士，最后到肉质热狗肠。
大冬天吃真是个超正的小吃，也有饱肚感。其他味道的下次继续试; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Modway Lippa Modern Dining Side Chair With Fabric Cushion in Blue; Brand: Modway; Review: I wasn't expecting much from this chair. I wanted something to match my reproduced tulip table. When I got these chairs (2), I was really surprised! The chair was constructed out of thick plastic; the cushion is very tight fitting and a very nice material. The chair even swivels which I didn't expect either. I'm going to be buying two more in a different color to make it a fun set.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Modway 36" Eero Saarinen Style Tulip Dining Table in White Walnut Top; Brand: Modway; Review: I purchased this table and I love it! It was packaged perfect. The table itself is very stable and excellent reproduction. There are a few bubble spots on the top that are small but for the price, I cannot complain. It matches perfect with the tulip chairs. Really glad I went with this versus an older set. The table I received was like the original manufactuer's photo where it is thinner towards the bottom.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hamilton Beach 25475 Breakfast Sandwich Maker, Gray (Discontinued); Brand: Hamilton Beach; Review: Alright so I was going to buy this kind of as a gag gift but after I read reviews, I got excited that it actually works. We've used this thing so many times. It honestly works perfect and I've been blown away that this thing could actually make a delicious sandwich. First, if you get regular english muffins, it works fine. Second, don't use raw meat - use some pre-cooked ham. I'm not sure why anyone would think this thing would actually cook meat. Third, spray the cooking/toasting pads with a little olive oil spray. I found some organic natural canned stuff and it works perfect. Don't forget to break the yolk and add some salt and pepper. Seriously though, this thing is the bomb. You won't be disappointed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Linenspa Super Soft Rayon from Bamboo Pillowcase Set -; Brand: Linenspa; Review: I wanted to love these sheets because they are super silky feeling, they keep you cool at night and also they absorb bacteria so they rarely ever smell and need less washing. The only thing is, it says that it fits up to 14" mattress and unfortunately it doesn't. The corners would come off. I wish I would have known and I would have ordered the extra deep pockets. I ended up returning them and haven't purchased the deep ones yet. They did come with two pillow cases. Again, I love these sheets but order the extra deep pockets regardless of mattress size.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Coop Home Goods - PREMIUM Adjustable Loft; Brand: Coop Home Goods; Review: I've owned this pillow for over half a year now and at first, I wasn't quite sure about it because I thought that the pillow would lose it's loftiness after a few months like most pillows do but let me tell you, I have yet to put it in the dryer to "fluff" it up. Actually I purchased this around the time when I started chemotherapy and well, on chemo, you sleep. A lot. Much more than normal. I absolutely love this pillow and quite honestly, when we travel, we find ourselves taking about how we miss out beloved pillows. I'm not joking. The pillow completely molds to you. When you sleep, your head doesn't roll and stays in place until you want to move. This pillow is great for all sleepers. My husband is a back sleeper, I'm a side/stomach sleeper. Yes it's expensive for a pillow but it's worth every penny.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker | Bluetooth | 800W | Anova App Included; Brand: Anova Culinary; Review: We use this a few times a week. This is probably one of the best items we've ever purchased and I won't get into how amazing the food tastes since you can read review after review on it. Anova's website has a lot of great, straightforward recipes. We use the Rubbermaid FG631200CLR model container for the water along with the matching lid and cut a hole. I also purchased a food saver vacuum sealer and I'm glad I did. Originally we just used regular plastic bags but the vacuum sealer helps it tremendously. Again, this is one of the best items we've ever purchased - it can make a not so great cut of meat, taste like you'd never expect it to taste. We've cooked eggs, desserts, meat etc and everything was just amazing. You WON'T be disappointed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

This B and B is highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Barcelo Castillo Beach Resort; City: Caleta de Fuste Antigua Fuerteventura Canary Islands; Review: The resort is very large with just one main restaurant for the all inclusive visitor. The rooms were nice with very comfortable beds. The pools were good with plenty of choice and lots of sun loungers. The entertainment was very very good and our kids loved it . The nice touch was the outside seating area by the marina for pre dinner drinks. I would recommend this resort for families and those wanting a hastle free break.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort Spa; City: Puerto Morelos Yucatan Peninsula; Review: This hotel is quite simply amazing. Every need is catered for. The service levels are quite simply outstanding . We arrived after a long flight and the reception staff were welcoming and friendly. We were given a glass of champagne on arrival . Our bags were taken to our room with no hassle . The pools were lovely with plenty of activity to take part in. The waiter service around the pool was outstanding with Ivan , David, Raul , Ricardo and Eric being our favourites. A massive thank you to the staff in the coco cafe. Every morning I would be welcomed by Elena and Sheila. This cafe is like having your own personal costa coffee but better. All the restaurants are of a high standard with the Mexican being our favourite. The seaside grill even cooked some tuna for us that we caught on our sea fishing trip (thanks to Rey the chef). I must mention the quality of the steaks as they were quite simply outstanding. The entertainment team are really friendly and are respectful to those people who just want to chill and not join in with activities. Carlos was our favourite member of the team but all the team made the kids and adults feel welcome. Daniel ,Alex , gee gee were very good. I must mention the room service as it’s included in the price of the hotel and made you feel very special as you could order it 24/7. I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone who was considering it. And we would certainly return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Johan Eric Women's JE2100-09-001.9 "Herlev" Stainless Steel Watch with Diamonds and Leather Band; Brand: Johan Eric; Review: This watch is a very pretty color. It's a blushing pink and goes well with all skin tones. The color is definitely true to the photo. In addition, it has a simple, clean line, so I think it's suitable for work. The watchband is slender and feminine. Love the diamonds! The only downside for me is the size of the face. It totally covers my wrist -kind of like a corsage. If you like big faces, this watch will make you very happy. It's a keeper for me, but I will still be on the lookout for a watch with a much smaller face.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Woman Within Plus Size V-Neck Three-Quarter Sleeve Perfect Tunic; Brand: ; Review: These shirts are basic, which is what I wanted. I gave them 3 stars because there's a lot of cloth in the back which makes the shirt a bit boxy. If you have back rolls, they probably won't show much in this garment.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Jockey Women's Underwear Elance Brief - 3 Pack; Brand: ; Review: YES! As close to perfect cotton undies as I've ever experienced. They don't bind, the elastic around the waist is narrow. The elastic doesn't ROLL down; stays in place. Softest "brushed" cotton; so cozy against ones skin. The panel is wide enough for a sanitary pad with wings. Also, they line dry pretty quickly. Just perfect. I really like these!!! Ordered two more packs.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Skechers Cali Women's Meditation Peace Slim Flip-Flop; Brand: ; Review: Get compliments when wearing these. Wide enough without being too wide for my medium-wide width feet. Comfortable enough to wear all day; no thongy-digging between the toes!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NOVICA Multicolored Embroidered and Applique Cotton Blend Shoulder Bag, Tropical Paradise'; Brand: NOVICA; Review: People stop me to tell me how pretty this bag is, and I agree. Also, it's not too big, or too small -slightly larger than a magazine. Embroidery is excellent, tightly sewn and neat. Colors are bright, but tasteful. BONUS: The strap fits across the body and since the bag lays perfectly flat, it looks neat and you can shop, or do whatever, without holding onto your bag. One of my new favorite things!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Nordic Naturals Omega 3 Pet - Special Dog Formula Fish Oil Omega-3s, EPA, DHA Supports Skin, Coat,; Brand: Nordic Naturals; Review: This brand is awesome!! My two dogs no longer have dried paws and their fur looks and feels shiny and soft. I believe their overall health has improved as well. I since have switched to the liquid in the same brand, as these capsules are rather large and I got tired of breaking the capsules open and putting it on their food. Definitely recommend Nordic Naturals and will continue to purchase their products!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nurturecalm 24/7 Canine Calming Pheromone Collar (Upto 28" Neck); Brand: Nurturecalm; Review: These may work well for some dogs, but my dog became violently ill after having this collar on for about 24 hours. She was shaking and vomiting. I took it off immediately and scrubbed her neck off with a wet, soapy rag. She was fine in about 2-3 hours. I didn't even know there was a possibility that these collars could make a dog ill, until after I did some research after this happened. She wasn't taking anything else at the time, and her food was the same as always, so this is the only thing I can attribute it to. I saw no ill effects about this brand listed in the reviews, but did see it for other brands of pheromone collars. I can't say with 100% certainty that this caused her to get sick, but she never acted like that before, and that was the only thing that had changed. I also saw no warnings on the box or their website, or even any info about a possible allergic reaction, but from my experience, I will avoid using them in the future.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Nordic Naturals Omega 3 Pet - Fish Oil Liquid for Cats and Dogs, Omega-3s, EPA and DHA Supports Skin,; Brand: Nordic Naturals; Review: This stuff is just amazing! I fell in love with Nordic Naturals brands when I tried this same product for my dogs, in capsule form. The capsules were kind of a hassle, so I tried this, and it's a winner! Both dogs love the taste and the benefits have been amazing. Will use this stuff forever!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nature'S Variety Instinct Raw Boost Grain-Free Freeze Dried Dog Treats; Brand: Nature's Variety; Review: Nature's Variety products are superior, but these treats are way overpriced. My dogs aren't that crazy about them either. Both have food allergies, so I have to be careful about the products I choose to give them. I always buy USA products, and these are made by a trusted company, however.. the price is way out of line for what you get.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Zignature - Limited Ingredient Lamb Formula Dry Dog Food; Brand: Zignature; Review: My dogs gobble this stuff up, and that's saying a lot for a limited ingredient food! Both my furbabies have food allergies, so we have run the gamut on foods. This stuff surpassed my expectations, and theirs too, apparently! So glad I finally found something that they could eat, AND that they love! I would recommend anyone who is having the same difficulty, to give this stuff a try. We've been using it for at least 6 months, and they still seem to love it as much today as they did the first day!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MidWest Wood Wire Mesh Pet Gate; Brand: MidWest Homes for Pets; Review: I used ONCE. I tried to leave my new 2 year old dog alone for a short period of time one day, and this thing was literally in splinters, by the time I returned 30-45 minutes later. I don't blame the manufacturer for my dogs craziness, but the quality of this is kind of sad. Parts of the wood, is like balsa wood.. not ideal at all. It looked nice while it lasted. YMMV.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Pet 'n Shape Made in USA - Beef Bone Natural Dog Treat; Brand: Pet 'n Shape; Review: My dogs really love these, however, the ends splinter a bit too easily, with my heavy chewer.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Pensiunea Montana Popa; City: Blaj Alba County Central Romania Transylvania; Review: It's a coasy hotel with nice people and good food. The rooms are clean and have safe deposit box offered for free. There is also a fitness center and a very very nice spa. It has a nice terrace where you can eat romanian food and some international specialities. It has free parking place with survailance cameras.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Limak Atlantis Deluxe Hotel Resort; City: Belek Serik District Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: The problem with this hotel is the poor quality of administrative people and not sincere about what you receive for ultra all inclusive. We stay 10 nights and got the necessary time to say that in reality for "ultra all inclusive" you only receive "all inclusive food&beverage&services". Instead of genuine drinks you will receive local drinks. From the food point of view, the food repeated often during our stay, too often I would say, and there were not so many types of food to chose from. Except from the local deserts/cookies (2-3 types), the desert did not had any taste, like it was synthetic. The omelet was made from liquid from tetra pack bottles, not from real eggs. But the worst thing it was that initially the reception gave us a very very bad room that was smelling mouldy / mildew and cigars, and after we complained about it they gave us another room the smelled like someone smoked lots and lots of cigars in it and that was dirty. This room we had for our entire staying there. Three days the cleaning service did not come to clean the room, only if we had called to the reception desk to ask for this service. When the cleaning service came done it in a very bad manner (once we were left without toilet paper, and 4 days we were left without body wash/ gel and we were obliged to buy it from the local shop). I saw that the cleaning service made it a habit to look when you were in the room and had the "do not disturb" sign, to come and put a sign to you room that they wanted to clean your room but could not do it because you had the "do not disturb" sign. Another bad thing it was that the walls were thin, and you could here your neighbor television, your neighbor discussions, and the worst, the cleaning service that were very very noisy and often arguing. Also the notel was not very well maintained during years (it had dust and rust and the wood flake off). The pictures exposted on their site did not show the reality within the hotel (small spaces and lots of small and big building, few opened spaces) To say also a good part for this hotel, I would say that they had a nice beach and also a nice entertaining team.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Hotel Munich Neuperlach South; City: Munich Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: It is a clean and nice hotel that I would recommend to others but only considering that it has no parking places and that it is a little bit far away from the city center. In order to arrive to the city center you need to take a bus for 3-4 stations and change with the tube. In order to arrive to the airport after these two, you also need to take the train.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Attache Hotel Pension; City: Vienna; Review: It is a nice hotel, ok considering the price for the room. The hotel was probably build in the 80's or 90's and refurbished around 2000-2005. The pictures with the rooms are nicer than the reality. Also the parking places of the hotel are undergroung and very very tight and needs a lot of attention for entering and going out. The buffet breakfast it is ok. I would probably stay in this hotel next time when I will visit Wien by car, but only with prior reservation for parking because the only have 5 parking places.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Vitta Hotel Superior Budapest; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: The hotel has a good price per room. The breakfast is not poor but it is not rich also, and the food has a lot of salt in it. The rooms looks modern but are made with cheap materials and are not very clean. The hotel have their own parking (9-10 places) in front of the hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Gasthaus Kellerer; City: Raubling Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: It is a clean hotel with friendly people and good food. The breakfast is good but not great as per a small pension in mountains. The internet is free but it does not work very well. The hotel has private parking that is ok.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cristal; City: Nuremberg Middle Franconia Franconia Bavaria; Review: It is a good but old hotel (as per my title of the review) but it has private parking and also public parking in front of the hotel (I used the public parking and it was safe). The breakfast is great (you can make fresh juice out of oranges). The people are not very friendly but are ok.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Gasthof Alte Post; City: Obertrubach Upper Franconia Franconia Bavaria; Review: It is an old hotel but very clean with friendly people. The food is good and the buffet breakfast is good as well. The rooms are with old furniture but are very clean and safe to sleep in it. The free internet it is only in the hotel lobby and in the restaurant (not in the rooms) but it works ok (not great).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Hotel Munchen Ost Messe; City: Munich Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: It is a very nice hotel even though it has 2 buildings (one 3 star hotel and one 4 star hotel). The parking is with fee and is a kind of underground but it is ok. The breakfast is great. The rooms are clean and with modern furniture. it is not in the center of the town and I might say that it is far away but it is a hotel that I would recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Austria Trend Hotel Schillerpark; City: Linz Upper Austria; Review: Great location of the hotel. They have their own parking underground but it is with taxes. Good breakfast. The reception girls were very friendly and also the lady waiter with curly hair that was friendly and gave us great informations. The cleaning service people entered in our room without knocking first at 7:30 a.m., at 9 a.m. and at 10 a.m. even though we were in our room. They were pushy in order to get you out of the room, even though they were not cleaning the room wright in that time. The room was a little bit old and the bathroom door was awful because you could get sucked inside.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Exe Vienna; City: Vienna; Review: It is actually a 3 star hotel not a 4 star as they show when you book it. The services were inappropriate. We did not had any towels and soap (all the package) in the bathroom and when we called the reception, the receptionist told me if I want towels I should come to the reception to take them because he is alone. Finally after we argued a little over the phone, he came and brought us just 2 towels and 1soap for 2 persons even though he should have brought us 5 towels (2 small, 2 normal and 1 for foot). We had the room at the street and it was a little bit noisy. The breakfast was ok except for the coffee that was bad. They have they own parking inside the hotel but they charge for it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Viennart am Museumsquartier; City: Vienna; Review: The hotel is located near to Mariahilferstrasse. The very noisy rooms even though we were to that we received a better upgraded room. The windows were not phonic isolated. The bathroom was very small and different from the pictures on the site. In reality is not a 4 star hotel, rather a 3 star hotel. Very expensive for the services offered. The wifi connection in the room did not work. The parking is very expensive (20 euro) and is far away from the hotel (500 meters). The rooms were old and with dirty floor carpet.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Bella Muzica; City: Brasov Brasov County Central Romania Transylvania; Review: I have stayed at this hotel 1 night. It has a very good location right in the center of the old town. The hotel is made in a historic atmosfere and is well maintained. If you are a foreigner you will probably be impressed by the old character of the building. Regarding the services I can say that they can improve. The reception people are not very friendly (they are not rude also) and also the persons from the breakfast buffet. The breakfast is poor I might say. You do not have many alternatives to eat at breakfast. The restaurant is great, a little expensive but great and is located underground of the hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Belvedere Hotel Brasov; City: Brasov Brasov County Central Romania Transylvania; Review: I have stayed in the hotel throughout an event during weekend and I was very disappointed by the services provided. The check in was only at 18:00 o'clock which is a problem if the event itself starts before that hour. I have stayed in the new building were almost everything supposed to be new. The room was nice but it was not finished and had a lot of cracks in the bathroom wall. The bathroom did not had any shower curtain or wall and the water went out all over the floor. The other friends that stayed there had different kind of malfunctions in the rooms. The breakfast was poor and there was a very tiny place to eat in. In the hotel yard was a lot of dirt. the building itself was not finished. The elevator stopped working in the midnight (malfunction). At the event center the waiters kicked us out, by cleaning all the tables at 4 o'clock in the morning. Considering the high price paid, the service provided was very bad.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Went to the first bar once you were upstairs not that busy show already started. Bar was a mess and the female bartender didn't even say hi for 5 mins until she decided to serve us even tho we were sitting right in front of the beer taps. Once the other bartender showed up he started to clean everything up as fast as he could and said hi to us and asked if we need anything else.
Male bartender was on top of things and kept asking the bar if they needed anything while the other bartender did whatever.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Le club des punks contre l'apocalypse zombie; Author: Karim Berrouka; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Chronique entiere sur les bergers electriques En gros, ce livre n'est pas vraiment mauvais. J'ai fait le tour de certaines chroniques sur ce livre pour voir un peu les differents avis. La ou moi je l'ai pas trouve si drole, certain l'on trouvait hilarant, notamment la fin qui ne m'a pas plu. J'ai eu un probleme avec l'histoire et l'humour et forcement je ne pas pu l'aimer a sa juste valeur. Comme j'ai deja bien mis en avant ce que je n'aimais pas, je vais vous dire ce que j'ai aime, parce qu'il y a des trucs que j'ai vraiment aime. Mis a part les personnages vraiment attachant que j'ai assez developpe precedemment, ce qui est vraiment bien dans ce livre, c'est qu'en decrivant un univers apocalyptique qui n'est pas tout rose, le livre vehicule des sentiments de paix et de comprehension, d'aide et d'entraide et ne va jamais vers le desespoir.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Gotland; Author: Fructus Nicolas; Genres: ; Review: Chronique complete chez les bergers electriques Gotland est un objet d'art et pour tout collectionneur de l'Imaginaire ou/et adepte de Lovecraft, ce livre est indispensable. Pour ceux qui hesitent, je pense que ce livre vaut vraiment le detour : les histoires sont prenantes, etranges et destabilisantes. Mais la ou le livre se demarque, c'est l'abondance des illustrations qui interagissent parfaitement avec le texte. Plus qu'une illustration, elle est une partie indispensable de l'histoire, elle est une partie integrante et indivisible du texte.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cérès et Vesta; Author: Greg Egan; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Chronique entiere chez les bergers electriques Si vous n'avez jamais lu de Hard SF, je ne suis pas sur que cela soit le premier livre a lire. Une premiere mauvaise experience peut etre dommageable. Cependant, cette novella est agreable a lire, pour ceux qui aime ce triturer les meninges, ou ceux qui aiment l'Histoire. La Hard SF n'est pas omnipresente, et le theme central reste le revisionnisme historique. Ce livre est un beau temoignage de ce concept. A lire, mais pas indispensable, je suis quand meme content de l'avoir dans ma bibliotheque.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Norse Mythology; Author: Neil Gaiman; Genres: history, young-adult, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Chronique complete chez les bergers electriques Ce livre est un petit bijou. La douceur de la plume de Gaiman au service de la durete de la vie des dieux Vikings. Je conseille fortement ce livre d'une part par le fait qu'elle allie particulierement bien roman et vulgarisation scientifique et d'autre part parce que c'est Neil Gaiman qui l'a ecrit, ce qui est gage de qualite et d'une bonne experience litteraire. Cependant, il peut contenter un peu tout le monde, mais a differents niveaux. A l'esprit curieux, qui ne connait que tres peu la mythologie nordique, ce livre est parfait pour vous. Pour ceux qui connaissent deja la mythologie nordique et qui plus est, aime Gaiman, je vous conseille quand meme ce livre, car je trouve sincerement que c'est tres joliment ecrit, ce qui nous rapproche de l'auteur en ayant la sensation d'entendre Gaiman nous raconter l'histoire au coin d'une table. Pour les autres, je ne sais que dire. Ceux qui veulent connaitre en profondeur la mythologie nordique, vous ne trouverez pas votre compte, mais au moins un bon socle de depart. Ceux qui aiment Neil Gaiman, mais pas forcement la mythologie nordique, je ne suis pas sur que ce livre soit fait pour vous, meme si le livre est tres bien ecrit, les peregrinations des personnages collent avec la mythologie et vous ne retrouverez pas la force et le faconnage des recits de Neil Gaiman. En tout cas, amateur de grosses barbes, da banquets et de boissons, de batailles et d'amusement et de filouteries : bonne lecture !!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Malpertuis; Author: Jean Ray; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Chronique complete chez les bergers electriques Ce livre est vraiment tres bon. L'objectif donne est amplement realise. Le sentiment de malaise et d'oppression se fait sentir du debut a la fin, et les qualites de l'ecrivain ne font qu'embellir cette histoire. Pour les amateurs de fantastique, de Lovecraft, franchement penchez vous sur Malpertuis, cette maison remplit de mystere et d'inattendue. Il faut lire MALPERTUIS ! Il faut lire JEAN RAY !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Le Veilleur du Jour; Author: Jacques Abeille; Genres: ; Review: Chronique complete chez les bergers electriques Ce livre peut paraitre au premier abord entre du realisme et du fantastique mais personnellement je la categoriserais comme un livre onirique. Il n'a quasiment que des bons points a part, peut etre quelques longueurs. L'art que deroule Jacques Abeille, au detour de chacune de ses phrases, transforme ce livre en un petit tresor. L'histoire qui partait simple au debut, se complexifie. Les personnages sont attachants par leur humanite, leurs forces et leurs faiblesses. Pour conclure je conseille vraiment ce livre, car c'est une experience inedite (en tout cas en ce qui me concerne). Jacques Abeille merite d'etre encore plus lu et apprecie, car je pense sincerement que c'est un classique de la litterature francaise.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Interférences; Author: Yoss; Genres: ; Review: Chronique complete chez les bergers electriques Ce roman court est un pur delice, c'est original, nouveau et sarcastique a souhait. Il se lit avec enormement de plaisir et quelques nouvelles en plus n'auraient pas ete de trop (a savoir que le livre contient deux autres nouvelles Ils etaient venus et Seppuku ainsi qu'une entrevue entre la traductrice du roman et l'auteur). Autre point a ne pas oublier, Interferences permet de s'ouvrir a une litterature etrangere peu presente sur le marche, la litterature cubaine, qui est ici, entierement critique vis-a-vis de la politique du grand pays et du petit pays. Au final, un livre a devorer avec humour.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: The Search: The Continuing Story of the Tracker; Author: Visit Amazon's Tom Brown Page; Review: In the story of the search, it seemed to me a follow up to the Story of the Tracker by this same author, a part two if you will but in no way lacking in all of the detail and adventure of the process. The devotion to the Grandfather and his teachings are of great interest to all as his method was not listen and do exactly what I tell you, although that was the message he conveyed, but he brought the boys to the point of having to know the lessons taught, and then set out to become efficient if the use of the teachings, I found it hard to put the book down. There are a couple of places that brought tears to this readers eyes, I hope this story will have the same effect on all the readers. What a shame to not have been able to share in the teachings of the Grandfather, which would have been my fondest wish. To sit and listen to the ways of the Spirit World, and everything it involved would have been by far the best thing I could ever imagine, and I feel a great loss of not sharing in the teachings of Grandfather, what a life changing experiance that would have been.

Title: Grandfather; Author: Tom Brown; Review: I have always been drawn to stories of the First People, The entire series by Tom Brown Jr. is a bit different as it is written by a White about his very close relatinship with his best friends Grandfather, a Lipan, Apache Shaman who took the two Boys under his Guidance and taugt them the way to know and respect Mother Earth. The Book Grandfather is as best that could be done the History of the Shamans earl life and his Journey into the Realm of becoming the man he was. Very well written and never boreing. I would recommend this book as well as the entire series of books by Tom Brown Jr. Respectfully Kelly J; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Healing Secrets of the Native Americans: Herbs, Remedies, and Practices That Restore the Body, Refresh the; Author: Visit Amazon's Porter Shimer Page; Review: I have already posted some information about the service I received in the purchase of this Book, and Now I will expand a bit upon the content, This book contains many remedies and treatments not offered by the modern medical profession, some I have already know about because they had been used on me as a child by my Grandmother, There is no magic here just plain common since applications of natural things found in everyday life, things you probably did not even think about as a Medicine yet they are probably in your back yard and are safe, more importantly, effective.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Stalkers: The Battle Of Beecher Island, 1868 (The Plainsmen Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Terry C. Johnston Page; Review: I bought all 16 books to have the entire story, currently I have read all but the last one and I have to say that this was not in any way a disappointment. I have infinity for our Native People and have never thought they got a fair shake, in the stories told by the White Historians, nor have they been portrayed in a truthful light by the Movies and Media. To put it plain and simple The Native people simply wanted to be left alone, and allowed to live their lives as they always had, the Problem is the European Culture basses their wealth upon material possessions, such as land and all that goes with it, they viewed the Natives People as Heathens/Savages, ungodly and Ignorant, while the opposite is the truth. To begin with the Belief structure of our Native People is not really much different than our own, they have a Supreme GOD, and a Close relation, with all that is Nature, there was no such thing as Ownership of the Land as we as European descendants view it, and it was not possible to sell as there was no title to it to sell. The Native People were promised many things they were tricked into signing treaties which the Federal Government to this day has not honored a single one, the Government took all they had and in return gave them a postage stamp on which to live so long as it was according to the way of the Anglo European's Agricultural Way. They were denied their Culture, religion, way of life and the land they had lived and prospered on for time long before the White Race ever set sail from the old world. The wars fought were not over the resentment of the whites, it was over the fact that the whites wanted the land the Native People has and declared theirs, so if you want to think them as savages and unreasonable people, think of this first, You own a House and live a way of life and the Federal Government decides they don't like the Life you live and they want your land for the use of someone else, and you get nothing for it. Would you not also fight as hard as you could to keep that which you considered yours? Terry C. Johnston explains this throughout the 16 books; I highly recommend you read them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Cries from the Earth; Author: Visit Amazon's Terry C. Johnston Page; Review: Again this is but part of the Plainsman series of books by Terry C. Johnston, all 16 of theses books are very well written and informative they depict the struggles of the Indian to maintain their lands and way of life. The White Man wrote most stories of the Indian Plains wars and most accounts of Battles were of the Military point of view if the Calvary won it was a great Defeat of the Savage Indian, if the Indian won it was always depicted as a Massacre. The only thing that was never realized was the fact that the Indian was willing to share with the white man but the White man could not understand the fact that to the Indian there was no such thing as owning the Land (MOTHER EARTH) and the white man had to have a title to say it was his. Think of all the Lives that were lost because the white race would not agree to share the land with the Indians. What a waste of life and humanity and for what a piece of paper called a Deed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Shadow Riders: The Southern Plains Uprising, 1873 (Plainsmen); Author: Terry C. Johnston; Review: I started this series of books with the second book Red Clouds Revenge, there are 16 books in this series and the Shadow Riders is the 6th book each book is a story of its own but also a part of the rest. Terry C. Johnston tells of the Plight of the American Indian, and the Futility of their battle to keep only what was already theirs. He Illistrates how the U.S. Government LIed, Lies, Cheated, and Stoled the land of the Indian, the Brutle way in which they constantly persued them and the methods they employed. THe thing the White Man did notunderstand about the Indian, when they fought a battle it was fought to the conclusion of the Battle at hand when it was over the Indian went hiome, they were done if they won there was great celebration if not much mourning. To Date the United States Government has not lived up to a single Treaty that they with the Indian. Is there any wonder that they do not trust the Government. THe Poorest PLace in the United States is the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The sad part is we send Money and aide to people all over the Globe to people that spt in our Faces and Shoot at us with the weapons they buy with our money. Not one punny effort has to date been offered to the People of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Why is that?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Trumpet on the Land: The Aftermath of Custer's Massacre, 1876; Author: Visit Amazon's Terry C. Johnston Page; Review: I have all 16 of theses books and have read every one of them, They are very well written and there is a degree of History, and Facts to be offset by the little bit of fictious Characters used to tell the stories so you do not get bored. Terry has a gift of bringing you into the Story and if you have an open mind about the Plains Indian Wars you will find a good amount of truth, which does not favor the White Race of people, and you will come to understand several things about the Indian you may not have known. First off they were not the savages you were led to believe in the Movies, and the Calvary was not the Heros they were portrayed to be. The white race of expansion West was a driving force that The Government wanted all the land of the West for the White race; the Indian was a flea on a dog to them. The Battles that were fought were more skirmishes than Battles and the Indian was a Guerilla Fighter, when the Battle was over they went home and carried on their daily lives, not the white man he was bent on the Total Destruction or Elimination of the Indian at any cost. Custers Last stand was a Good example of this, the Indians were attacked by the Calvary from three sides and because of the vast number of Indians there the Calvary lost, the Indian moved on and the Calvary kept coming after a time, dead set on revenge for what they regarded as a Massacre, had the Calvary won it would have been a great Victory. It was always this way Indian won it was a Massacre, White man won it was a Victory. The way the White Race defeated the Plains Indian was not in Battle but by Killing all the Buffalo, they starved the Indian into submission, and took all but a Postage stamp of their Lands. The real shame of this is two fold. The white Government proved they could not be trusted, and to this day the Government has not lived up to a single treaty with the Indian, and the Poorest place in the United States today Is the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. I will not Write any more reviews on this series of books as You will hear the same thing over and over again, so there is no point.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Halloween: Resurrection; Brand: Jamie Lee Curtis; Review: I thoughly enjoyed this movie. It had some funny parts, but it was very suspenseful, and it had a semi-good plot, and you never knew when Michael Myers was going to show up. There's a lot of carnage in this movie, but it never gets gory, which I liked. Yet it's a shame that Laurie Strode (the heroine from the first two movies and H20)was killed off in the first ten minutes, but I guess her time had some. Some things won't be around forever. . . unlike Michael. . . This movie started back in 1978, and it's going after a new generation, so I really liked how Michael's history was intregrated into the story, for those who had no idea about this killing machine named Michael Myers. Go see this movie if you're a HORROR fan and enjoy a good suspensful story.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Jason X; Brand: ; Review: I was a little surprised when I heard about a new Jason film. Being a BIG horror fan, I eagerly awaited it's release. While waiting, I had the opportunity to check out the script, and I started to think this is not going to go over well. It's just a rehash of everything else: SEX, LANGUAGE and KILLINGS. But I still went and saw it, and was surprised! I thought it was cool with the opening of the film with that girl getting cryogenically frozen with Jason, and then many years later getting thawed out. Once Jaosn was thawed out, he started killing and there were some pretty good killings. In closing, with the way the film ended, I'm hoping that they don't do a Part 11. It's time to put this franchise to rest.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Three Musketeers Walt Disney Pictures Presents VHS; Brand: Charlie Sheen; Review: ...I saw this movie when it first came out at the theater, and I've loved it ever since. This is a very light story with just enough action and adventure to keep the viewer interested, but at times it doesn't always have to follow the original story. You have the main characters and the plot, and there's some humor which you can't take this movie too seriously. And I personally feel that Chris O'Donnel did a great job ( at such a young age..., he doesn't ruin a film with his presence. He's a very good and aspiring young actor. He did a GREAT job (TWICE) of playing Robin in the last two BATMAN films. I mean really, if he was that bad do you think he'd be offered the part???)along with his coherts: Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt and Kiefer Sutherland. The chemistry bwetween these actors were really great. TWO THUMBS UP!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Test Big Data 1737; Brand: ; Review: I've been a big STAR WARS fan since it first came out in 1978. It was the ultimate adventure with a good versues evil premise. I was very disappointed when I saw The Phantom Menace. The film was too focused on Anakin Skywalker, and it lowered its standards. I anxiously waited with anticipation for Attack Of The Clones, and aside from it being a little better, there were still alot of flaws in the film. The worst was the romance. It totally ruined the pace in the film, and talk about rehashing of certain scenes. Haven't I seen that scene with the starship weaving through th easteroids before? Han Solo did it in the Empire Strikes Back and the ending was way too fast. I didn't know what had transpired until I read the book. And again I'm reminded of The Empire Strikes Back. The ending was the same. I just hope that with the third (and final film) that Mr. Lucas is able to tie it up nicely.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Terror Tract VHS; Brand: John Ritter; Review: First off, I've never been much of a fan of John Ritter, (he played Jack Tripper on that inspidid sit-com show THREE'S COMPANY) but this movie isn't soley about him. But anyhow, I thought that the first story in this antholgy was pretty good and the third one. No of course the acting wasn't exactly top notch, but for this type of movie, it'll have to do. Now if you've read the previous reviews, there is no point in my waisting time in describing the strange but funny stories on this video.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Into the Abyss; Brand: Werner Herzog; Review: I wish we didn't need a death penalty, and I am very sad some people are sentenced to death, but it comes down to their choices. Herzog never looked at that aspect. He never addressed the issue that the subjects in this film are were they are because of things they did and choices they made. He allows both convicted men ample time to profess their innocence, and their defenses are so weak it is obvious, but never talks about how their actions placed them were they were. Show is very very biased and looks at capital punishment from that biased view point. Herzog even spins the comments people make and he is very often leading with his questions. He falls just short of putting words in their mouth, and spins their answers to fit his view instead of what the person being interviewed thinks and feels. Is the death penalty a deterrent? Obviously not. Is the death penalty the best idea? Probably not. But I feel society shouldn't have to pay to keep a monster alive fir the rest of his life. If you are so willing to throw away the life of an innocent person, why should I pay to sustain that person. Biggest problem I had with this film was that Herzog never adds any questions about the victim's rights. He doesn't really dig into the ferocity and lack of humanity that the victims had to endure. He talks about the victims but fails to really dig into the brutality of the crimes and the loss of life of the victims as much as he does into people who oppose capital punishment. Both of the convicted men show why a life sentence is no punishment. I never saw any remorse or regret from either one. In fact both still proclaim their innocence and challenge their involvement in the crime. One of the lamest moments of this film is when the father of one of the killers goes on and on about his failed role as a father, and then brags that he was able to save his son through what I would call lies and fake sorrow and fake responsibility. He talks about his two sons who are both in prison. He talks about time shared and spent with them. He talk about how his pleas for mercy spared his son, but it is never mentioned that the innocents who were killed probably plead as well. Burkett's father is great at playing the role of guilty dirtbag father, but we never really know much about how many times he was in prison, what he was in for, and what crimes he committed. We also never see Burkett's prior criminal information or even look at his criminal past. Herzog just looks at the one crime, but gives no background at all. One of the people in the film claims Burkett held him at gun point, but we don't ever see his rap sheet or his convictions. Also, I was disgusted by the fact the father says it was his fault; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Hamilton Beach 68055 Ice Shaver, Black; Brand: Hamilton Beach; Review: Why oh why do I forget to read the Amazon customer reviews? Watching the ice spin and spin AND SPIN around was semi-entertaining for the first 5 or so minutes. Then on to readjusting the ice in the chamber over and over. By the time it finally got shaved into the "slushie - fine consistency", the ice was in my opinion, still too big for drinking, so into the blender it all went. I guess if you want to blend ice faster you can shave it down and then toss it in a blender but then you have two appliances to clean up. Overall, disappointing.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: OXO Good Grips Hideaway Toilet Brush and Canister Set; Brand: OXO; Review: Ok, scrubbing the toilet is one of my least favorite things. That said, one of the worst things about it is sticking that brush back into the holder while it still contains water, not to mention the drippy water stains on the outside of it. I had to replace a fancier looking metal toilet brush holder whose best feature was that it sort of matched the fixtures. That feature disappeared a few months in with all of the permanent water stains on the outside of it. And the brush itself snapped over a year ago but rather than replace it with a similar pretty piece of junk, I made do with the broken handle. Until Now. I can't believe it took this long to modify a simple product and make it great. An auto open/close toilet brush! No water dripping along the sides anymore as it offers a huge opening instead of trying to stick it back into the thin canister like my old set. No more having to empty out a puddle of nasty water, either, as this provides a draining receptacle. The brush handle is very solid and sturdy. The black rubberized bottom of it does have some flexibility, not much. The brush is a decent size, a good deal larger than the one I replaced. Be careful if you twist and turn your wrist as it unscrews in my opinion, way too easily. If OXO can fix the lack of tightness to keep it from beginning to unscrew without much pressure, I'd give it 5 Stars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Farberware New Traditions Speckled Aluminum Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set, Red; Brand: Farberware; Review: The Farberware New Traditions is nice cookware set that includes six pieces and three lids: There are two skillets, two saucepans, one saut pan and one dutch oven. One of the three lids fits both the saut and dutch oven. The three included kitchen tools (spoon, slotted spoon and a slotted turner) are added to make this a 12 piece set. The non-stick pans cooked food fine and were simple to clean with warm water and dish washing cleaner. The care instructions say to use a mild cleanser. These are not dishwasher safe. There's an easy to reach Phillips screw attached to the sturdy handle should it become loose over time and need tightening. They appear to be well made. I recommend reading the safety use and care leaflet that comes with the set. I've had the same set for years now, and I am not knowledgeable on what different pots and pans are made of and how to cook with them. I'm used to putting the heat on high a lot to heat up the burner, but the Farberware warns to use low to medium heat only as it can cause warping and damage to the coating. There are special instructions specifically for ceramic and glass top stoves. Farberware seems to not really recommend porcelain-enamel pots for a glass top stove such as I mine. I'm not trying to put words in their mouth, but other than following your Stove's manufacturer manual, they recommend flat-bottom stainless steel or hard-adonized exterior cookware for glass tops. Decorative bottoms (These have a large New Traditions logo) might not cook evenly. Importantly, overheating or placing a hot pan on a cool glass top (as I am one to do) could cause permanent damage to the glass top. Due to these warnings, I am leery to use these pans on a regular basis.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Laura Ashley Jayden Sheet Set, Green, Full; Brand: Laura Ashley; Review: These Laura Ashley flannel sheets are extremely nice and look great in the sage print. After washing and drying they came out of the dryer looking fine, no pilling or shrinkage. I did, however, have a bunch of lint! They fit my queen sized mattress perfectly. I have had trouble with sheets before and the fitted sheet barely fitting on my pillow top, but not with these sheets. After almost a week, the fitted sheet hasn't budged. I like that the flannel is somewhat lightweight and provided a very soft, comfortable night's sleep.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Toaster Oven, Stainless Steel, TO1303SB; Brand: BLACK+DECKER; Review: This Black & Decker is a great Toaster oven. It's a little smaller in size than my old toaster oven, and I like that it doesn't take up too much counter spice without sacrificing inside cooking area. Although this toasts breads fine, I'm still keeping my Toaster. Heck, the price of my toaster is almost the price of this oven, which makes this an economical choice. I'd like to point out that I've also seen this advertised on here by 3rd party sellers at about double the price, so be careful and purchase from Amazon. I like the pull out crumb tray as I used to have to hold my old oven over the trash and open the bottom to get those crumbs out! There are many settings which took me a bit to get used to but it is great for the smaller items I need it for like garlic bread, re-heating pizza, sandwiches and my personal favorite: pretzels! Love my pretzels hot and crispy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SteamFast SF-150 Everyday Steam Mop, White; Brand: Steamfast; Review: Update to original review below, which was Five stars. I've dropped it down to 2 stars because by this past Christmas, the steam stopped working. This was used moderately, about every 2 weeks. Directions were followed, and it worked very well between Nov 2014 - Dec 2016, so I'm giving it 2 Stars for working well that long. Now, it starts up, but no steam comes out. I think it should've lasted a heck of a lot longer. I've had vacuums used weekly that lasted 10 years. Thought I should get around to updating this review as I can no longer recommend this SteamFast. Simple everything is just the way I like it. Had this together in about one minute after removing from the box. Attach the bottom pad (it comes with 2), stand the Steamfast SF-150 on the included Mat. Follow the directions - fill with distilled water. Anyone who has used tap water in their Keurigs will know how easily tap water will cause problems over time. Plug it in, turn the power button on and in 30 seconds you are ready to go. As long as the canister is not in an upright position, the steam automatically releases. Put it back in an upright position and the steam stops. Place it back on the Mat to prevent damage to floor. Did I mention how easy it is to use? The cord wraps around the hooks on the frame. Steamfast stands upright, making for easy storage. Floors are quickly and efficiently cleaned.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Loloi LYONHLZ04RN005277 Area Rug, 5' 2" x 7' 7", Rainbow; Brand: Loloi; Review: What I Like about this Loloi Rug: The blended colors Good for a small area as it's 2' x 3' in size Easy to clean with everyday rug cleaner The Cons: It isn't as nice in texture as rugs I have gotten at Lowes (and on sale at lower prices) It doesn't have a rubber backing for convenience. I still have to go buy a rug pad as it slides on tile. Overall: a nice looking rug if you like a rainbow look. [I've uploaded a pic]; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Aqua Optima Sirona Pitcher with Anti-bacteria Water Filter - as effective as boiling water; Brand: Aqua Optima; Review: The Aqua Optima Sirona Pitcher does improve the taste of tap water, but I do not see how effective it's filter truly is for the filtering of impurities. I have previously used Brita and Zero water pitchers and it did not compare to my old Zero pitcher/filter system. I used a water tester to measure the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) in the water after filtering and was surprised to see a high number of 179. [Pic of TDS uploaded] While in the past, I never got my Zero pitcher to read zero, it was at least in the very low double digits. Very disappointed. The pitcher is nicely made, the top seals very well and there is the simple reminder to give you a day/month for when it will be time to change your filter. But if the water isn't filtered properly removing most of the bad stuff, what's the point? This is only as good as it's filter, and from what I can see that is not very good.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Classic Brands Cool Sleep Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Gusseted Pillow with Performance Cool Pass Cover, Standard - 810705-6030; Brand: Classic Brands; Review: I love memory foam pillows and have two other brands. This Classic Brands pillow is well-made and extremely comfortable. I've spent the last few weeks sleeping with it and love it. I have neck issues due to an injury and sleep on my side and this has just the right amount of firmness. It stays cooler than my other memory foam pillows which are a bit heavier. I also have problems staying asleep due to additional back problems, but this pillow helps me fall right back asleep. I did not experience any odors that others have complained about. Definitely recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Oreck Surface Scrub Hard Floor Cleaner - Corded; Brand: Oreck; Review: My experience with the Oreck Surface Scrub Hard Floor leaner was extremely disappointing. For a floor cleaner at this pricepoint, I would expect it to clean a floor! Pros: Very easy to assemble Cons: Does not clean the floor well Time consuming to use (squeeze trigger to release solution, then pull back to pull up liquid over small areas - after you sweep/vacuum the floor) Does not dry floor properly even after repeatedly doing the same area Brushes do not reach floor edges Brushes do not do a good job cleaning/scrubbing the floor Leaves small puddle of water when stopped I have used a Steam vacuum that is not only simpler to use, it is much cheaper and does a fantastic job of quickly cleaning the floor and I will continue using that. I'd recommend using a steamer instead of wasting time or money on this product.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Samsung VU10H3021PR/AA VU3000 Lift and Clean Bagless Vacuum Cleaner, Red; Brand: Samsung; Review: The Samsung Lift & Clean is a powerful vacuum. Nicely constructed, I put it together in a few seconds out of the box. Pros: Light weight Bruhs head that maneuvers with ease Put it together in seconds. Extremely powerful suction I've used the adjustable ring to lessen the power. Large power buttons on each side for turning it on/off and turning the brush on/off. Works as well on wood floors as it does on carpet. Bag-less with quick release for emptying. Pop-out filter (haven't had the need to wash/dry it yet recommended to be done every 1-2 months) Versatile vacuum: pull out the handle and you have a long hose which makes it convenient to use. You can attach the tools like the mini-brush to either the longer pole, or shorten it to attach tools to the detachable handle. Vacuum detaches from the bottom brush for portability. Cons: The exhaust filter needs to be replaced if it cannot be cleaned after removing. The cord is very long, and it's an old-fashioned wind-it-yourself. This did a fantastic job. I liked being able to detach the body for use on the stairs. Love the maneuverability of the brush head. The only negative is my being used to a vacuum that retracts the cord. Bending and winding that cord is a workout! But it's still worth it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BOON Ogee Tatami Faux Fur Throw Blanket with Pillow Shell Set, 50" x 60" , Burnt Orange; Brand: Home Soft Things; Review: This Faux Fur throw is super-soft and comfortable. I have two other similar plain looking throws that I love to use, and the BNF is a nicer, dressier looking with it's pretty design (one-sided, on the top) that make for a great accent throw. It's nicely made quality and provides good coverage at 50" x 60". I also like the deep purple color. The throw pillow covers are a great addition to this set. They did not fit the throw pillows that came with my sofa, but I was able to use two older throw pillows I had in a closet that had seen much better days. They now look great with these matching covers on them [see photo].; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Boss Office Products B10101-BK LeatherPlus Executive Chair in Black; Brand: Boss Office Products; Review: I've used many different styles of office chairs in the last twenty years, and unfortunately, The Boss Office Products Leather Plus Executive Chair has been one of the least comfortable. It arrived very well packaged, with simple instructions on how to put together. I've put many chairs together and this took only slightly longer than most (about 30 minutes) due to the difficulty securing the back of the chair to the base. Doing it alone I had to put a lot of pressure to get the holes to line up. Then came the time to flip it over, put it on the floor and have a seat. At first I thought there must be something wrong with it, because it has the feeling of leaning forward. But that's the way it appears to sit. The overall feel is very stiff, with a curved lumbar support that seems too low for me and I am of average height 5'10. I am used to having a cushioned seat and back, and this chair offers virtually none. I do like when a chair supports my back and allows me to sit straight, but I could not get comfortable as the front of the chair would dip slightly forward. I am glad I still have my old office chair to go back to using. The chair adjusts in height fine, but the wheels feel somewhat stiff on a wood floor. This is definitely one chair you need to sit in before purchasing.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Lenox Around the Table Dot Mug, White; Brand: Lenox; Review: I realize Lenox has a great reputation for quality, but I just do not see it. I mean, the dishes and bowls are nice. They are somewhat lightweight compared to the cheaper stoneware I am accustomed to. It wasn't impressive to begin removing the plates from the box only to find one plate cracked into pieces. [See Photo] I think the packing materials for an expensive item such as this could be a lot better. The stoneware sets I've purchased at Target for less than half the price came all in one piece, and over the course of eight years I've only had three dishes chip from two different sets, with heavy usage. I don't know how well these will stand up without chipping or breaking, but I will begin putting them through regular usage and give my other sets (no pun intended) a break for a while. The set - consisting of four dinner plates, four salad plates and four bowls is nicely designed with a casual chalkboard appearance. The Dinner plate measures at 11", the salad plate a nicely sized 9 1/4" and the 6 3/4" wide bowl are my favorite part of the set. I'll definitely make use of the bowl for salads and soups. I'm down one salad plate (the one that came broken) so I have a service set for 3. I honestly do not see myself replacing this plate at this price point considering the poor way it was protectively wrapped in shipment. Thin cardboard-type paper needs to be upgraded to prevent breakage during shipment. I think there are better options out there. Do I like the set? Yes. Do I think it is worth the price? Not really.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Digital PH; Brand: VANTAKOOL; Review: I've been using these Maytag replacements for four years now and thought it was time to accurately say these filters are very good and much less expensive than buying them anywhere else, including Maytag. Although the insert says it is recommended to change the filter every six months, I have consistently changed it once per year around the same time, which is when my "buy filter" light comes on because it is nearing time for replacement. I don't know how filters truly work - and I use filtered water pitchers too! - but the water tastes great throughout the entire year. It's possible I use a lot less water from the Maytag since I also keep a couple of pitchers in the fridge (a PUR and an Aqua Optima - both also very good) and I get an entire year of usage rather than six months. Not sure what others have experienced, but mine has been a good one. I am also pretty picky about drinking water, so I'd notice if the taste had changed. When I go out to eat I have been good about just drinking water and there are times such as this week when I went to a local chain restaurant and could not drink the water. It tasted like bathroom faucet water. That was 5 days old. The smell alone was killer. With these Maytag filters - you can't go wrong.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Soma Sustainable Carafe & Plant-Based Water Filter; Brand: Soma; Review: I really wanted to love this filtration system. Just look at it. The Soma water filtration is one of those products that comes across as confusing to me. For all of it's Green advantages such as a compostable plant-based filter as opposed to plastic/carbon, and it's being organic, made in the USA and the company clearly states it donates to charity I mean what's not to appreciate about this unique looking pretty water filter/carafe? Well, the important thing is what standards does it adhere to in water filtration? The box states it is Tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction of chlorine, taste and odor. HUH? This kinda takes away from all the feel-good beautiful packaging and marketing if it's just reducing chlorine for taste and odor at a high price point. I also use a Maytag UKF8001 PUR refrigerator Filter which claims to be NSF Tested and certified for Standard 42 AND 53. Standard 42 is to reduce non-health related contaminants like chlorine. Standard 53 is to reduce health-related contaminants such as lead yet the Soma only claims Standard 42. Please check out the NSF website to see the difference. The Soma definitely gets high marks for it's design, but if it's not filtering out harmful contaminants, what's the point? The plant-based filter lasts 2 months and the carafe holds 6 glasses of water. A year of pre-paid filters can be purchased at their website for $60 or $12.99 every two months. Again, Pretty pricey but it's for convenience to be sent to you. Enclosed was an offer for a free filter in addition to the one that comes with the carafe. I wouldn't be dazzled by the looks of this Soma, and look for a filtration system that filters more harmful contaminants.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice Convection Countertop Toaster Oven, Stainless Steel/Black, TO2050S; Brand: BLACK+DECKER; Review: Little beast of a Toaster oven that is versatile and does everything very well. It's large enough to bake a small pizza, if you don't prefer the microwavable kind and fits numerous slices of bread. It takes up a considerable amount of space on your counter but if you're a toaster oven cooker a La Sonja from The Real Housewives of NY, this will be a great addition to your kitchen. Only the front is silver while the rest is black plastic. Has the typical cheap feel you will find in most toaster ovens these days. The large round buttons have a quality feel. Crumb tray is easy to clean although it can get a little messy as it pulls out on an angle.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Zinus Garrison Modern Studio Collection TV Media Stand / Table; Brand: Zinus; Review: I'm a fan of these inexpensive easy-to-put- together furniture pieces. I never in a million years thought I'd say that. Having problems with my hands, arms, etc. Make these minimalist designs pretty easy to work with. It only took me about 20 minutes to screw in the pieces, and I think it could've been done much faster if my hands weren't hurting. But I was determined to do it myself. I must've dropped the included wrench about 30 times due to my inability to hold it properly, but anyone without finger/hand problems could do it much faster than me. Once you line up the two pieces that comprise the sides, just get the 8 screws in and you're done. I deducted a star because it does have an inexpensive look, but you get what you pay for. Bear in mind I received this for an honest review, so didn't expect it to be an expensive or rich looking media cart. I was looking for a media cart that had a minimalist look and feel and this definitely fits the bill. It fits perfectly where I needed it at 40" in length.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Zinus Priyanka Modern Studio Collection Classic Cube Side Table / End Table / Night Stand / Coffee Table; Brand: Zinus; Review: If you're looking for a simple yet functional and easy to assemble small side table, this Zinus Modern Studio Collection and table is your answer. I've been searching all the usual stores for a bed side table and everything I found was between $50 - $100 and even the lower priced tables were either too large, or not made very well. Enter the Zinus. It arrived in a small thin box. From in boxing to putting it together it took my husband probably 5 minutes or less. 8 screws and bam it's together. I could've put this together, but as I have prefaced in other reviews, I deal with finger/hand/arm pain so as easy as it is to assemble, let the hubby do it real quick! The table is perfect on size for what I was looking for at 14.5 x 15 x 18. I had a small area near the guest bed that needed a table. I love the open look which doesn't make the space c look cluttered. Seriously, it's 4 metal legs with the legs attached at the bottom. It has a shiny Brown top, which I'll admit is not my favorite, but for the price, size, and functionality (able to hold up to 100 pounds), it's still a great deal here on Amazon. I chose to review this as it matched the Zinus media table that would be in the same guest room. Are these fancy looking expensive tables? No. They remind me of the simplicity of Ikea, the only difference being these Zinus products are actually easy to put together at a great price point. Would I put this in my living room? Honestly, probably not. I like simplicity but there's a place for it, and a guest bedroom is it for; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Origami RB-01 6-Tier Book Shelf, Black; Brand: Origami; Review: After being slightly disappointed in the quality of the ORIGAMI desk, my laziness and love for the simplistic foldable furniture. So, I took another chance and ordered this Book Shelf by Origami and was not disappointed. This shelf is such an easy convenience. Unfold, lock it, and you have a fully built metal shelving unit. Awesome is an easy description. Well made, and looks great. It takes longer to take out of the box than it does to open it up! I've seen put-together furniture with the headaches of screws, nails and numerous pieces at higher prices. The Origami Shelf that unfolds in 30 seconds is a no-brainer of a better choice!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zinus Priyanka Modern Studio Collection 15 Inch Square Side Table / End Table / Coffee Table; Brand: Zinus; Review: I am a self-admitted convert to Zinus Modern Studio collection. I liked this for the size 15" sq to use as a bedside table in a guest room. This collection usually screws together in a matter of minutes, but the reason for the three stars is even the hubby got frustrated and gave up trying to get the final screw in after about twenty minutes! He tried switching screws but neither would fit into the last hole. So, I have to be fair and knock off a couple stars when my prior experience with Zinus has been great. Putting it into perspective, the entire thing is typically together within five minutes from being unboxed. I wound up finding another screw in my garage that finally fit properly. The screw wasn't black to match (It was silver) but I turned the table around so as not to see the silver screw, and the table was good to go. But there is definitely something wrong with the original screw not fitting properly. I may have gotten a lemon, but the table is still functional and fits in great in the space it was needed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Furinno Angeland Quilted Mattress Pad, Twin, White; Brand: Furinno; Review: This quilted mattress pad is the best I've ever owned. It is soft to the touch, and a breeze to put over your mattress. I have a large double-sided quilted mattress and the elastic material slid right on for a snug fit without the usual pulling and fixing and not fitting properly I've experienced with other mattress pads. It has a nice thin layer of soft cushioning to add to your comfort. Not flat, and not overly cushioned, just a nice quilted layer. To me, I notice just a slight difference that the quilted padding provides to my pillow top mattress. It's also hypo-allergenic. A really nice quilted mattress pad you can get for a bargain on Amazon.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lagostina Q5544764 Martellata Tri-ply Hammered Stainless Steel Copper Dishwasher Safe Oven Safe Stockpot / Casserolle Cookware, 5-Quart, Copper; Brand: Lagostina; Review: The photo truly does not do this justice. It's a stunning piece of cookware with a hammered texture. This 5 quart stockpot is large and heavy and very well made. Personally, I prefer non-stick cookware because I'm not a good cook, so be aware this tri-ply stainless steel casserole is not non-stick, and from what I hear , preferred for good cooks. The husband will be the one using this as he does 95% of the cooking, the other 5% (say, toast, or microwaveable) I handle. The enclosed foldout explains to use oil or butter to minimize sticking. It doesn't recommend cooking spray. This item is both oven and dishwasher safe, although i get the feeling they recommend hand washing with the very specific instructions on how to clean. Note: only the stainless steel is dishwasher safe, not the copper version. I need to study how to clean this pot, since I don't do the cooking, I'll be the one cleaning it! Lagostino is compatible on all cooking surfaces and offers a Lifetime Warranty, provided you did not misuse or abuse the cookware. This 5 quart is pretty heavy and thick, so be cautious when using it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rachael Ray Luxprolyn Premium Anti-Fatigue Kitchen Mat, Black Basket Weave- 20” x 39”; Brand: Rachael Ray; Review: This is definitely a premium finely made kitchen mat. It's large at 40" in length and extremely cushioned and comfortable. I deducted a star for its less-than-average generic looks and it's inability to quickly pop back into shape after standing on it. The impressions take forever to go away. So while it's comfortable to stand on, it's kinda ugly to look at after you step off it...and stays that way for a while. Strange design there. But if I'm standing at the sink for a while, comfort is important. It's much nicer, larger and more cushiony (and pricier!) than the $20 kitchen mat it replaced.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Northpoint Baroque Solid Premium Microfiber Sheet Set, Twin, Mauve; Brand: Northpoint; Review: The Northpoint Poly/Microfiber sheets are very comfortable and soft to the touch. I personally like the "jersey" style sheets for comfort, and these have that feel. I was expecting more of a polyester thickness, but these are much more than I expected. I recently tossed away high-thread count cotton sheets that were always a wrinkled mess, and not nearly as comfy as microfiber or my jersey sheets. I washed these as directed, and they came out of the dryer wrinkle-free and feeling as soft as when I put them in. I do use Gain liquid fabric softener so that may help a bit. I recently purchased a similar set of sheets from a department store at a deep discounted $18, and they are 100% polyester and feel almost as nice as these Northpoint. Regular price was $45. These Northpoint sheets sell for $18.99 with prime shipping and I highly recommend them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Zinus Modern Studio Collection Side / Sofa / Snack / End Table; Brand: Zinus; Review: This Sinus table is a mediocre product in a decent line of easy to put together furniture. What should've taken me approximately 15 minutes this side table, turned into about 40 minutes until I finally gave up on getting the top of the table to sit snugly without moving. I will try gluing it to the metal base, but per the instructions, I should have been able to screw the bolts in secure enough to hold it together. The board top feels slightly warped, came with two small chips in the side of it. I do like the size of it for a side table to hold the various things that need charging, such as smartphones and tablets. You will be able to fit your remotes, magazines or even eat a meal off of it. It's versatile for many uses. Deducted 2 stars for the top being chipped and not lying flat once all bolted together.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Zinus Modern Studio Collection 4-Shelf Multipurpose Bookcase; Brand: Zinus; Review: Thirty minutes and you have a 4 shelf bookcase. I love the simple clean lines of the Zinus Modern Studio Collection, and these are great for small rooms without adding bulkiness of traditional book cases. They are completely open without a backing which I prefer. Easy to put together with bolts, shelves and the side frames. I plan on using it for books and collectibles in our spare room. Once bolted together, it is sturdy considering it's thin profile. The only thing easier is the Oragami line of folding bookcases, one of which I purchased and also love. I'm all about simplicity, and decent quality at affordable prices.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I originally purchased these to sort dishes but my cabinet shelving wasn't high enough. But I was able to use these (I purchased an additional one because I liked the first one) as sorters for the gazillion Tupperware lids and for my pots and pans lids. Excellent quality at reasonable prices price. It's made two messy areas totally organized. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zinus Modern Studio Collection 4-Shelf Multipurpose Bookcase; Brand: Zinus; Review: The Sinus Modern three shelf bookcase is similar to the 4 shelf bookcase with more room between each shelf (specs say 17") so this is optimal if you have anything larger that you world like to display. I prefer the 4 shelf because I have tons of stuff from books to collectibles that fit very well. Putting this bookcase together is as easy as the rest of the Zinus line which on average is between 10 to 20 minutes. I love the open back-less look as it's thin but sturdy frame are nice for smaller rooms. I have a few discount shelves I use for my dvd collection with their cheap backing that's not much thicker than poster board. Those ugly shelves are in my guest closet because I'd much rather look at the Zinus products. Remember these are not pieces that cost hundreds of dollars so keep expectations in check. They're quality, economical nice and practical.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: HUJI Plates Holder Pots' Pans' Lid Organizer Rack for Cabinet, Pantry or Kitchen Counter (1, WHITE); Brand: Huji; Review: Although I purchased this for dishes, my shelving was too short to accommodate this holder. However, it came in perfect for using to keep my lids and pot covers nearly organized. Liked it so much I ordered a second one. Great price and great organizer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 12-Cup Coffee Maker by BESTEK - Digital Programmable, Automatic Drip with Carafe [ETL Listed]; Brand: BESTEK; Review: So far, So good. I love the design of this USB hub which fits nicely in one of my vehicle's cup holders. If I need to use both cup holders for drinks, I can easily slip the Bestek in my center console. If I leave my car out in the sun, I put the Bestek in my console, just to be on the safe side and not leave it out in an overheated SUV. It's well made and looks like a thermal coffee cup. As for how it works, I have had no issues or problems quick charging my smartphone, using my radar detector, and charging an iPad. These are the usual things I need it for and it's working great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zinus Traveler Deluxe Folding Memory Foam Guest Bed Frame, Plus Bonus Storage Bag; Brand: Zinus; Review: I really could have used this convenient bed-in-a-bag two months ago when we had four people staying with us from out of town! The fourth guest had to sleep on the floor for several days. We rarely have guests sleepover, and even a queen guest bed and queen pull out sofa wasn't enough room. Enter this Sleep Master Traveler bed. I've uploaded photos to give you an idea of what it looks like, from in the box, to out of the box, removing the cover, setting up the folding quick platform, and a 5'10" person lying on the bed, with various measurements, so I hope this helps. The reason I gave this 4 stars: 1 star was deducted for getting it in and out of the bag, Lets say, yes, it is possible, but I sure won't be doing it again! My guest will have to put it away if and when it is used! Also, even though it is 6', 5'10" seems to be the max from your head near the very top, and feet right at the bottom. 2" ain't much to play with to fit a 6' tall person. Unboxing: The box it comes in is the exact size of the bagged bed folded up inside. You pull out the bag by it's handle, and then proceed to remove the bag. I personally had trouble getting it off, gave up and asked for help. I thought I'd rip the canvas bagging (but it appears pretty tough and did not tear). I always note I have various muscular/pain issues so this could be a part of why I found it so hard to get that bag off. Once the bag is off, you open the folded frame, it pops right up and you unfold the mattress, remove the plastic bag and slide it right on the frame. Done. Doesn't get easier than that. The mattress is 4" thick and felt comfortable to lie on but be aware, it's not very wide, I believe thinner than a twin mattress. Comfy enough to lie on, even with only a 4" thick mattress, but not a whole lot of wiggle room. It's a guest bed that conveniently folds up and stores away, so I am not complaining about that. If I never needed to take it with me somewhere, I could throw it in the back of my hatchback and have something to sleep on when I get there. I've tried air mattresses and I'd rather sleep on the floor, or on this memory foam bed. Next was putting it back in the bag. HELP was needed. It's doable, just took much out of me squeezing it back into it's well-fitted bag. It keeps it looking nice and neat, and I have it stored in my master bedroom closet where it doesn't take up much room. But it took a lot of maneuvering and pulling getting it back on!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Oreck WK15500B Air Refresh 2-in-1 Hepa Air Purifier & Ultrasonic Humidifier for Small Rooms,; Brand: Oreck; Review: The Oreck Air Refresh has one major pro and one major con for me. The Pro it's a great machine that allows me to breathe much easier. The Con- it has a weekly maintenance cleaning. I can't really consider cleaning something weekly a bad thing, as the idea is to keep the air fresh, so taking care of this more frequently is done in return. Or as I like to say, the husband will be taking care of this is in return. It needs to be sanitized with three percent hydrogen peroxide with the tank half filled. Another ten ounces goes in the base of the huimidifer. After 20 minutes you remove the liquid and it needs to be rinsed with filtered or distilled water. To remove the water from the base well, this was the true con for me, because you need to lug the entire thing to a bath tub or sink. Now, the unit is not very heavy, but it is quite tall and as someone with arm and back problems, this will be the hubby's job. I just wish there was an easier way to drain and rinse the base. It comes with a pretty high price, but like any decent vacuums, you pay a premium. And my health and breathing are worth the price. The LCD screen is a nice touch, to see water tank indicator and the life of the filters for when they will be needing replacing. I could probably sleep through a hurricane, but for light sleepers, besides multiple speeds, it has a sleep mode for low and the light on the LCD readout will also decrease. I used to wake up with such dry sinuses ans dry mouth before using this Oreck. Now it keeps the air cleaner in my bedroom. The unit comes apart easily, but again, lugging it to a bath tub or sink would be nearly impossible without someone to do it for me, so be aware it will have to be done weekly.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends, Batgirl & Cycle; Brand: Fisher-Price; Review: Purchased for an adult. Yes, a Batgirl fan. I've gotten other Imaginext figures as gifts like bc Superman, Joker, Batman and also a Batman, similar to this Batgirl, which comes with a Batcycle. I don't know how well these hold up for kids to play with as I snapped one of the handlebars off of Batman's cycle. Been more careful with Batgirl. Definitely cute as little collectibles and much nicer looking than Legos.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Honeywell HY-254 QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan; Brand: Honeywell; Review: For the past several months, we use this in an area that gets unusually warm with the new A/C cranking. We don't use it for an entire room, and barely use it at half speed and keeps the area very comfortable. It's easy to put together, has a remote that also hooks onto the back of the unit. To set the temperature you would like, you have to cycle through the degrees which is a minor annoyance, but takes a few seconds. Surprised you can't just hit up/down in setting the temperature. But it works fine once you choose the temperature. Since We use it in a corner, it fits neatly with it's slim profile, oscillating and cooling things down.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BioPEDIC Gel Overlay Pillow, Standard Size, White; Brand: BioPEDIC; Review: This BioPEDIC foam pillow is similar to other similarly priced foam pillows I already own. Actually, I got my others on sale so they did have a higher Retail price before a discount. After a couple of weeks, I've found this pillow to be just as comfortable, with the right amount of pressure to keep my neck comfortable. I sleep on my side. I can be a sweaty sleeper as I'm always cold and beneath a comforter, so didn't notice the gel cooling so much, which is a selling feature. If you don't get as warm as I do, the cooling feature may help. I had hoped it would help me, which is my only reason for a one star deduction. Compared to the other memory foam pillows on the market, this one is very reasonably priced. Very comfortable, great foam feeling to adjust to your head and neck for support and I would definitely recommend for those reasons alone.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Stony-Edge TV Stand and Bookshelf with USB Port, 42 Inch Wide, Espresso; Brand: Stony-Edge; Review: This a nice looking TV stand that was put together in minutes. Color looks darker in the photo but it's called espresso so expect a nice deep brown. Once you unfold and secure the sides you slide the middle shelf in with four tiny dowels. That's it. With my 47" LED TV, it feels slightly wobbly. Hoping it stays together!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Terrace Motor Inn; City: Cooperstown Otsego New York; Review: My wife and I visited the Baseball HOF and found the hotels in the immediate area of the HOF to be prohibitively expensive. A little internet sleuthing uncovered tthe Terrace Motor Inn. I'm delighted we found it. $159 (plus all of the pesky NY taxes, of course) bought us a nice, quiet and clean room for the evening that was a very easy drive from the HOF. In the morning, we walked across the road to the Inn's dock and enjoyed some quiet time on the Hudson. I recommend it if you are in the area and need a nice place to stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Curran Court Hotel; City: Larne County Antrim Northern Ireland; Review: My wife and I stayed elsewhere in Larne but went to the Curren Court Hotel restaurant on the recommendation of the innkeeper where we stayed. As a result, I can comment only on the food. It was the best meal I had while we were in the north. I ordered fish and what I received was almost more than I could eat and to make it even better.........it was fabulous!! We left Larne the next day or I would have eaten there again. Good memories.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Knockeven House; City: Cobh County Cork; Review: My wife and I stayed at Knockeven House for just a single (unfortunately) night while traveling Ireland by car in June.

We highly recommend the Knockeven House. Thanks, Pam!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Corpus Christi Downtown Marina; City: Corpus Christi Texas; Review: Stayed here for three nights. Within the first 24 hours I was moved into and out of three rooms due to maintenance issues in the series of rooms they kept trying. Room #1 smelled of mildew. The AC in room #2 had two settings, off and arctic. In room #3 the AC barely worked at all until maintenance came up and fixed it. On the first day housekeeping failed to makeup the room. I expect the Best Western down the street would have been a more satisfactory choice of accommodations. As has been noted by others, none of the rooms I was shuffled among had 1) an in-room safe, 2) a refrigerator or 3) an operable balcony door (and no, I don't buy the city code nonsense either as I too observed people out on the balconies of the Omni. On the positive side, the young man at front desk (I wish I could remember his name) was very helpful and almost apologetic as he helped me deal with dismaying room situation. The free wi-fi provided download speeds in excess of 35 mbs. Next time in CRP, I will surely book elsewhere.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Castle Hilo Hawaiian Hotel; City: Hilo Island of Hawaii Hawaii; Review: My wife and I stay at the Hilo Hawaiian each and every time we visit the Big Island. To those guests who busy themselves taking photos of the dresser drawers, the curtains, power outlets, etc, may I suggest that the Four Seasons on the west side of the Big Island may be more to your liking. Is the Hilo Hawaiian a 5 star property? Definitely not but it possesses a degree of charm that is in keeping with Hilo town itself. If one requires the rarified atmosphere that can be found at various properties dotted up and down the Kona coast, I say good for them. Let them book themselves into those properties. By so doing, those of us who appreciate the quiet charm of the HIlo Hawaiian will find the place less crowded. Other reviewers have offered many spot-on observations about the location of the Hilo Hawaiian along Banyan Drive, the beauty of the adjacent Queen Liliuokalani Gardens, the fun little nearby Coconut Island and the views of Hilo town across the bay from the hotel and and of Mauna Kea in the distance. I agree with all of these. The hotel is in the process of a very nice, and admittedly long overdue renovation. They started on the 7th and 8th floors right after the Merry Monarch festival. Workers began working on the 6th floor while we were there in late June and early July.Work began then on the 6th floor right after the 8th floor was completed and released for guest occupancy. I've added a photo of poster the hotel has placed in the lobby which shows the improvements that are taking place. I think even the naysayers will agree that the improvements are very nice. Tip: For as long as I can remember, the 7th and 8th floors have been the smoking floors. The front desk told me that after the renovation ONLY the 8th floor will be smoking and even there, smoking will be allowed only on the balconies (good luck enforcing that last part!). So that means another entire floor, and a high one at that, available to non-smokers. A terrific hotel gets even better!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites; City: Weatherford Oklahoma; Review: I've found that even the "name brand" properties can be a bit hit or miss is towns the size of Weatherford. My wife and I stayed at the HI Express over Thanksgiving and found it to be exceptional all the way around. We booked a king suite and were very happy. Exceptionally clean, convenient to everything and a very nice staff. On a previous visit we stayed at the Fairfield Inn and found the bed to be hard and very uncomfortable. The HI Express will be our home in Weatherford whenever we visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Microtel Inn Suites by Wyndham Gonzales; City: Gonzales Texas; Review: Overall a very nice property. Clean, well run and located on the highway but My Lord, the rooms are small! Not where I'd want to be for any length of time If I were planning to work or lounge in the room but for a quick overnight while visiting Texas historical sites, it was just fine. (Did I mention the rooms are small??!!); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Regency San Antonio; City: San Antonio Texas; Review: My wife and I stayed at the Hyatt in late November while we were on a South Texas history tour. The Alamo is, of course, an obligatory stop along that trail. If you too are fascinated by Texas history and choose to stay at the Hyatt, ask for one of the rooms overlooking the Alamo. We were on the 8th floor and staring right at the front door of the Shrine. Talk about a birds-eye view that no one had in February/March of 1836! This alone earns kudos for the hotel. On their website one can pay an upgrade fee of $20/night for an Alamo view room. I opted to take a chance and save the $40. About 4PM I called the hotel and spoke with a very nice young man at the front desk and made my request to him. We were assigned a perfect room for no extra charge. Nice touch, Hyatt!! Oh yes, the room itself was great with a very comfortable bed. Lastly, do not be surprised by the $27/night parking charge. I subsequently discovered that friends staying at the nearby Staybridge Suites were paying $25/night so I suppose this is simply a function of the limited parking in the CBD.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Llano; City: Llano Texas; Review: Wife and I stay at the BW every time we are in Llano for the Opry at the Llano Theater. We stayed here in February (Johnny Bush) and again last week (Jo-El Sonnier). We looked at other properties in Llano and none of them stack up to the BW. We always get a ground floor King and have never been disappointed. Clean, quiet, good location and friendly, efficient management. What else could one possibly ask for. Plus, we learned that the manager received a creativity award at last weekend's rock stacking contest. How neat is that! Anyone who would consider making light of this event needs to attend before passing judgement. We enjoyed many spectacular and gravity defying works. We'll be back in April (Bill Anderson), May (Moe Bandy) and August (Amber Digby & Justin Trevino).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Dallas Market Center; City: Dallas Texas; Review: Stayed here this past Sunday in advance of an appointment at UT Southwestern. The location was the reason for the selection. My first couple of choices were not available so we chose the HI. Can't beat the location for easy access to the medical center. The HI itself was neither particularly good nor particularly bad. It was quite acceptable for the money. Will likely stay here again if other choices are unavailable.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel National a Luxury Collection Hotel Moscow; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: What an outstanding hotel! This place is just drenched in old world charm. This is easily one of my top two or three favorite hotels. The Hotel National lacks nothing. Prior to booking here I looked at the new Four Seasons and the Ritz Carlton. For our tastes the National was the clear winner. We asked for and were given a fifth floor room (#376) overlooking the Kremlin. The principal reason for our trip was to visit the Red Square area. The view out of our window was of St. Basil's seen from between the State Historical Museum and the Kremlin. It was absolutely breathtaking soaking this in the first thing every morning and the last thing every night. The service and amenities provide by the National were everything we could have possibly expected from a 5 star hotel. The breakfast buffet lacked nothing. Everything was well prepared and delicious. In summary, the Hotel National is clearly not the newest and flashiest property in town but it gets our vote for the best.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Sonne; City: Fussen Swabia Bavaria; Review: We didn't stay at the Hotel Sonne but did have a wonderful relaxed dinner there one night. The truth be told, we entered the passageway to the restaurant from the pedestrian mall after looking at their menu board not knowing we were at the Hotel Sonne. My wife and I both had Rosti and it was wonderful. It was prepared slightly differently from that which we had while in Switzerland and I think I liked it better. For dessert we shared an apple strudel with vanilla sauce and ice cream. Outstanding food and service.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Hotel Excelsior; City: Erfurt Thuringia; Review: We booked the BW because of the 5 minute (or less) walk to the HBF. The location is obviously great for the train but we were pleasantly surprised what an easy walk it is in the other direction - to the center of town. We spent 6 hours walking around town then made the short walk back to the BW. The room was great, we booked one of the rooms with AC just in case but it wasn't really needed. Very comfortable beds. Very helpful and friendly staff. Very nice breakfast spread in the morning. The Ritz it ain't, but for what it is, it's terrific. Highly recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Suitess zu Dresden; City: Dresden Saxony; Review: Wife and I stayed here for two nights and enjoyed it throughly. The place just drips luxury. As we were planning our time in Dresden we were torn between the Suitess and another luxury property. To borrow from Indiana Jones, we chose wisely. Their wellness center is not to be missed. No extra charge for a sauna, Turkish bath, steam room, whirlpool etc. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Herrnschloesschen; City: Rothenburg Middle Franconia Franconia Bavaria; Review: The Hotel Herrnschlösschen is unquestionably the finest boutique hotel in which I have ever stayed. Everything was PERFECT from the moment we arrived until the hotel's shuttle driver dropped us off at the train station. We were greeted warmly by the owner Ulrike and shown to our requested room, the Amaryllis suite. The room itself was beyond expectations. In the morning we were served a delightful cooked-to-order breakfast prior to being taken to the station. Our only regret is that we had but one night to spend in Rothenburg. For future trips however, we've found a new home. Thank you, Ulrike. We look forward to seeing you again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SpringHill Suites San Antonio Alamo Plaza Convention Center; City: San Antonio Texas; Review: Goodness was I pleasantly surprised. This is a really nice property. Given the semi-budget nature of the brand, I was knocked out by the professionalism and courtesy extended by every member of the staff with whom I came into contact. All top notch folks who really appeared to care about what they were doing. Almost unheard of today. Good job! Oh, and the room was nicely appointed, clean and functional. The wireless wi-fi was acceptably fast. No complaints at all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel Conference Center; City: Frankfurt Hesse; Review: We always stay here the night before our flight out. It just makes for a trouble free morning. As in the past, the Sheraton for the most part delivered again. The advance booking rate of €112 was hard to beat. The only downside was the surly gal at the registration desk. I suppose that I upset her in some way as she assigned us a room on the 8th floor that was just a few rooms short of being just as far as one could get from the elevator. The further down the hall we walked to get to the room the hotter the hallway got. The room was no different. Way too hot. I went back to the guest relations desk and exlained the situation. The gals there were superb customer service representatives. They cheerfully assigned us to another room with the offer of a drink or breakfast in the morning. We passed on both but the gesture was sincere. Will repeat on our next trip. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Steigenberger Hotel Am Kanzleramt; City: Berlin; Review: We found the Steigenberger Hotel Am Kanzleramt to be a wonderful hotel. Although we stayed there only one night, it earned a 5-star rating with us. While not physically a part of the Berlin HBF, the "commute" to the HBF is roughly a 45 second walk across the plaza between the HBF and the hotel. Nice. We moved here for our last night in Berlin due to AC issues where we were staying. It was unseasonably warm, no HOT, during our stay in Berlin. There were heat related issues all over the city when we visited including closure of the Reichstag observation dome and cancellation of a number of long distance trains because of AC and problems with the tracks. The AC in our second room (more on that in a moment) performed flawlessly enabling us to get the first good night's sleep in 5 days. The hotel is very new and seemed to have all the latest bells and whistles. The bed was huge and comfortable. The shower stall was huge and provided two shower heads, conventional and rainfall. A special compliment to Ann H. who assisted us with finding a new room when the first one we were assigned proved to be too warm despite cooling for more than 5 hours. At approximately 8PM I went to the front desk and expressed my concern to Ann who was one of the guest services representatives on duty. She spent quite some time on her computer checking for a cooler room. Upon finding a room that seemed cooler than the one we were in, she walked to the room with me to confirm its acceptability. Sure enough, it was perfect. Now THIS is what customer service is all about and what separates a 5-star property from the rest. Great job Ann H.!!! Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Floresville; City: Floresville Texas; Review: I stayed here for two nights while attending a conference. The property is quite new and functional. Pros - Good location right on the main drag through town. Right next to an HEB store. Spacious with very high ceilings (12'). I was on the first floor. Don't know about the other floors. Good Price. Comfortable Bed. Free wi-fi Cons - Very poor selection of TV channels. The system is programmed for 39 but many (including the Weather Channel!) were inop. VERY slow free wi-fi Would stay here again. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Hershey; City: Hummelstown Pennsylvania; Review: Comfortable, easy to find, personable staff. All in all a very nice property. When we checked in we found that we had been assigned an adjoining room (pass through door) that came complete with a screaming kid on the other side! Front desk lady advised that most of their rooms are adjoining rooms but she found one for us that wasn't. Nice touch. Would gladly stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Philadelphia Airport Marriott; City: Philadelphia Pennsylvania; Review: We stayed here on the last night of our vacation so that we could get away early for our flight back home the next day. The hotel ticked all the right boxes. Clean, quiet, personable staff, well appointed comfortable room, reasonably priced and clearly VERY close to the departure gates. Will stay here again when a similar departure need arises.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Central Expressway; City: Dallas Texas; Review: Stayed here for a single night this week in advance of an early morning appointment at a nearby eye surgery center. A 5 minute drive during Dallas morning rush was far more appealing that a 2 hour drive from home. Check in and out were typically easy. Typical very slow free wi-fi. I didn't opt for the paid upgrade. The room was fairly spartan but functional. This doesn't appear to be a property that has been upgraded recently but for my purposes was adequate. Housekeeping left us a really cute towel elephant (see attached photo). Recommended for the non-picky traveler.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Magnuson Hotel Commerce; City: Commerce Texas; Review: Stayed here this weekend while attending a wedding. Wife and I had a king suite on the 2nd floor. It was clear to me that at one time, the Magnuson Hotel was a pretty cool place. Now it's just worn and kinda dingy and badly in need of, as another reviewer so succinctly put it, "an overall good scrubbing or renovation". Truth be told, I was kinda reluctant to even sit on the sofa given its condition. My father-in-law was on the first floor. He reported that his room smelled like there was a (excrement) somewhere in the room. After complaining to management a maintenance person was sent with a can of spray in an attempt to solve the problem. As one might expect, the spraying did nothing to attack the root of the problem. Given the available hotel inventory in Commerce and the almost "only game in town" nature of this property, it's no wonder that the owners don't want to spend the money for a makeover. I'm reasonably certain that they get a steady flow of TAMUC guests and will continue to do so almost regardless of he state of the property. On the plus side, the front desk staff (the two ladies we interacted with during our visit) were both extremely pleasant and on top of their game. One even thanked us for staying and invited us back.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Dumas; City: Dumas Texas; Review: Stayed here for one night this week while in town on business. Pros * Great Location * Clean Rooms * Reasonably fast (4MB/sec.) wi-fi * Extremely helpful and friendly staff Con * Apparently this property was built quickly (like most of the rest of the new properties in town) to capitalize on the oil boom. With quickly often comes cheaply. I had a room on the 2nd floor. Immediately upon walking into the room I noticed a spot in the hallway just outside the bathroom where the floor underlayment had failed. The real issue I had however was the noise from the guest in the floor above when I was trying to go to sleep. I was able to hear each and every step that was taken by the guest. Additionally the floor/ceiling creaked and popped until this individual went to bed. I found this to be completely unsatisfactory in a property of this class. Not Recommended as a result of the noise.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites; City: Weatherford Oklahoma; Review: Just returned from a two night stay at the HIE in Weatherford. This has become our Weatherford home whenever we go to visit relatives there. Each time we are impressed with the cleanliness of the property. Also impressive is the staff. Each and every person with whom we have ever come into contact really seems to care about the guest. Nice touch. The internet is free and acceptably fast. The breakfast is OK (wish they had waffles rather than pancakes). The location is superb. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Memphis Airport; City: Memphis Tennessee; Review: My son, grandson and I stayed here on a recent trip to visit Elvis. it's a fairly typical Courtyard property. It's also one of the few good properties in this particular area. While it's true (as pointed out in other reviews) it's not located in one of the finer areas of Memphis, it was perfectly acceptable for our needs. Parking would be a concern were it not for the fully gated parking lot with key card access. Have stayed here in the past and will likely do again in the future. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Tupelo; City: Tupelo Mississippi; Review: It's gotten so that I prefer Fairfield properties over all of the other mid-level properties. The one in Tupelo is no exception. The rooms are big and comfortable. The place is clean, clean, clean and the staff were all on the top of their game when we visited. What's not to like! Highly Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Dallas Mesquite; City: Mesquite Texas; Review: Spent one night here this week so I could be close to Eastfield College to attend a training session that began way too early to drive from home. I was pleasantly surprised when I got to my room. Bright, clean, comfortable and quiet. Just what I needed to get some quick sleep. The breakfast was better than normal for properties at this level. The only downside was simply finding the place! My GPS took near the Courtyard but after driving around for a few minutes I finally spied the Fairfield out in the distance. After several more minutes cruising the parking lot and winding my way amongst all of the restaurants (hint: look for Razzoo's) I finally found it. BTW - a fully non-smoking property. All in all, a good stay. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: La Quinta Inn Suites Denton University Drive; City: Denton Texas; Review: We stayed here a few nights while having some work done on our home, Can’t say enough about how well the management and staff keep the place running like a fine watch. Security and cleanliness are clearly important to these folks. Both are top priorities to me when we travel. I've recommended the LQ to friends from out of town who visit Denton. You won't be disappointed here. Highly Recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Denver Marriott Westminster; City: Westminster Colorado; Review: But then again what would one expect from a Marriott in this class. Can't say enough good about it, the beds were perfect, the restaurant was on its game and the location, oh, the location. Like butterflys? The closeby Butterfly Pavilion is a must stop. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bridges House Hotel; City: Delft South Holland Province; Review: We booked a two room suite for two nights. We were given room 20, a very nice room overlooking Oude Delft and one of Delft's many canals. With four huge windows overlooking the street and canal, the view and the natural light entering the room were amazing. We located a printed card on the desk in the room that advised the windows should be kept closed due to the mosquitos in the area. We asked the young man at reception about the warning. He said he'd not seen any mosquitos and suggested it wasn't an issue. As I was closing the exit door, a mosquito landed on the door right by the door handle. We opted to go back up stairs and close the windows. Never observed any mosquitos in the room but decided to play it safe. Beds were very comfortable. Only a 5-10 minute walk from the train station. Very nice hot breakfast. Supremely helpful and gracious staff. Very, very clean. Very spacious, comfortable and relaxing. Air conditioning in the room. BLAZING fast internet. Small refrigerator located in the room. Highly recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Melba; City: Bastogne Luxembourg Province The Ardennes Wallonia; Review: Stayed here for two nights while doing a Battle of the Bulge tour. Outstanding in every respect. A 2 minute walk from the bus station can't be beat. In the other direction, McAuliffe square is a 3 minute walk. We had a small suite and it was perfect. The staff was terrific. If we are ever back this way we will definitely stay here again Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel; City: Zaventem Flemish Brabant Province; Review: After traveling Europe for several weeks in the summer, we always book the airport hotel the night before our departure back to the US. One less thing to worry about. Doing so at the BRU Sheraton was a really good choice. Especially given the enhanced security at present. Great location and perfectly good rooms with a big comfortable bed. Anyone finding fault with the rooms here (at least the one we had, and it was just a plain standard room) is just being plain nit picky. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Horchem; City: Monschau North Rhine Westphalia; Review: Stayed here for two nights and enjoyed every minute of it. We booked a Superior Double and scored with Room 3. The room is on a corner of the building so looks out on two sides. It has 4 double windows , three of which look out on the river. Absolutely beautifully. The room was perfect. The staff was perfect. Will definitely repeat if the opportunity ever presents itself again. Only one small quibble. This offered in the hope that management will read this and rectify the problem. The hotel Wi-Fi signal does not reach into Room 3 and probably several other rooms as well. In order to use the Wi-Fi we had to do one of two things; 1) crowd onto the one small bench seat in the lobby or 2) sit on the stairs leading from the lobby to the first floor of rooms. Both "solutions" are simply inexcusable for a hotel of this caliber. (We chose #2.) Despite my one quibble, we will definitely stay at the HH again (and book Room 3) if we ever return this way. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: La Porte Cochere; City: Ieper Ypres West Flanders Province; Review: We spent two nights with Katrien and Stephen in Ypres. We were n Room 3. Our time with them was throughly enjoyable. In a BnB environment I've always felt that the host is the single most important ingredient that determines the success or failure of a stay. We could not have asked for a warmer, friendlier or more accommodating host team. As an example, I have some neck issues and found their standard pillows to be too full to rest on comfortably. I mentioned this to Katrien and like magic two additional pillows appeared that were exactly what I needed. It's attentiveness to the needs of the guest that separate the winners from the rest of the pack. The room was great..breakfast was superb....5 stars all the way. As an added bonus during check-in, Stephen took the time to show us photographs of Ypres before and after WWI and to explain to us how his family was an important part of the rebuilding of the city. Very nice! If we are ever back this way, we've found our permanent "home away from home". Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Street Lodge B B; City: Liege Liege Province The Ardennes Wallonia; Review: Sabine could not have been warmer and more inviting. She is a terrific host. We stayed in the "Chocolate Suite". It was wonderful. Sabine prepared a delightful breakfast for us. Unfortunately we were able to stay only one night. The location is superb. A 5 minute walk from the train station can't be beat. When our travels bring us back this way, we have a new home in Liege! One small note. Over the years we've learned that many European beds are much firmer than those to which we have become accustomed in the States. The bed here was no exception. It was firmer than we would have liked but no matter. We did just fine. Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel 3 Koenige; City: Aachen North Rhine Westphalia; Review: Room: Perfect Staff: Perfect Overall Experience: Perfect We booked a Junior Suite (#31) based on the photos on the TA website. Great choice. My only regret is that we were able to stay only a single night at the HDK. The property is unbelievably in the center of the old town section of Aachen. Just a few steps to the Rathaus and the magnificent Aachen Cathedral. Parking is accomplished at one of several close by parking garages for the princely sum of €15 for the night. If you want to be RIGHT on the Aachen marktplatz, you really do want to be here. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Huis t Schaep; City: Bruges West Flanders Province; Review: I'm my many years on this planet I've stayed at more hotels than I can possibly remember. Very few stand out. This one does. Our stay at the HTS is easily one of the top 2 or 3 lodging experiences of my lifetime. Everything was simply perfect. Micheal and his family are easily among the nicest and most customer service oriented people that I've ever met. Their level of concern and caring are, I believe, truly genuine. I'm certain that Micheal checks thousands of guests into his property yet the time he spent with us and the level of detail he shared with us made it seem like we were the only ones who had ever walked through his door. If we are ever back this way, we have a new home in Brugge! Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Carlton; City: Ghent East Flanders Province; Review: For €103 (including tourist tax), especially right near the main train station (a 5 minute walk), I didn't expect much other than a reasonable bed. Was I ever surprised! In a good way, a very good way. Our room was spacious, comfortable and very well appointed. It had a super comfortable king size bed and wanted for nothing. Every member of the staff was extremely helpful and very, very friendly and informative. They even provided us with a discount tram card. A lot more than I expected. Will definitely return. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seward Windsong Lodge; City: Seward Alaska; Review: The Goliath Grill serves good pizza for a reasonable price. However, to order the pizza you must either sit on the patio (which we did) or dine in the small bar, even though it is connect to the Roadhouse restaurant. Go early if you are hungry, but it gets quite busy and if you wait too long you may have to wait for the folks who are enjoying a brewski or two to get finished before a seat is a available. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rushmore Express Inn Family Suites; City: Keystone South Dakota; Review: Stayed here the week before Sturgis for two nights with our two 12 year old grandkids. I booked one of the rooms with bunk beds. To say it was a hit with the kids would be a huge understatement. They loved it! The master bedroom had two very nice queen beds where grandma and I could close the door and escape the kids and their TV. The pool area was superb. Breakfast it's true was for the masses but what the heck, one cannot have everything. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and will absolutely return if we are ever in the Black Hills region again. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Lexington; City: Lexington Nebraska; Review: Stayed here with the grandkids while en route to Mt. Rushmore. After a long day's drive the beds were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the pool area before dinner. And yes, if you happen to be downwind to the Tyson facility - it stinks. Nevertheless, while indoors the smell is not an issue. A fine way stop along I-80. However, if we are ever back this way again, we will likely avoid Lexington completely and stay just up the road in Gothenburg instead. For a lot of reasons, Gothenburg just appeals to us more than Lexington.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites Dodge City; City: Dodge City Kansas; Review: Stayed her while en route back home from Mt. Rushmore. It's location just on the western edge of Wyatt Earp enabled us to check in quickly before heading off to see the sights. The suite environment of the room enabled the grandkids to spread out. Nice room. Nice folks at the desk and a really nice made to order omelette breakfast. We were very happy with the entire experience. Will definitely return if we are ever back this way. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Limon I 70 Ex 359; City: Limon Colorado; Review: Stayed here while en route back home from Mt. Rushmore. The location suited our travel schedule. There are adequate dining opportunities around the motel. The motel itself is clean, roomy and perfectly acceptable for a night's stay. If ever back this way will definitely stay here. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Rio Grande City; City: Rio Grande City Texas; Review: Stayed here this week while in town on business. Every part of the experience was just fine. The front desk personnel were great. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was standard HIE fare and quite good. Good price and good location. What's not to like. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Seward Windsong Lodge; City: Seward Alaska; Review: We spent one night at the Windsong resort and enjoyed the experience. Very clean, nice, quiet accommodations with a rustic, woodsy theme. Our back balcony looked out into the woods. It looked as though a moose or bear might wonder up at any moment. The lodge is across the highway from the river and is very pretty to walk around and enjoy the flowers in the evening. Also, they have a convenient, complimentary shuttle to take you back and forth to town, the boats, and the train station. Will repeat if the opportunity presents itself. Highly Recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Seminole Inn Suites; City: Seminole Oklahoma; Review: Stayed here for 3 nights over Thanksgiving. Stayed in one of the King Suites (minus the whirlpool tub). The room was adequate and the bed was comfortable. My only complaint was the noise coming into the room from the hallway. The door seal was so poor that I could see shadows of people walking in the hall as they past by. Even earplugs didn't help one night. Had to call the desk to ask them to come up and see if they could restore order. They responded quickly and all was well afterwards. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly good and the very overworked lady handling the crowd was very friendly and helpful despite the onslaught of humanity she was faced with. Kudos to her. When back in the area will definitely stay here again. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites Beaumont; City: Beaumont Texas; Review: Stayed here on business this week. First time. Likely will not be the last. I was very impressed with all aspects of the property. It was clean, felt very new, roomy, adequate breakfast and very friendly/helpful staff. It's clustered near enough to all of the properties scattered along I-10 so that the location is as good as any. For Papadeaux Seafood Kitchen fans, it's right next door. The rates are among the best in town. Highly Recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Llano; City: Llano Texas; Review: I stay here nearly every month while in town for the Llano Opry. Ceto and his crew have always been extremely helpful and customer friendly. The property had begun to show some wear. I'm delighted to echo the other posts reporting that the rooms have been upgraded and are now clearly the very best in town! The rooms even have that "new carpet smell". Nice! And there is more to come. After having completed installing all new furniture, they will be turning their attention to the bathrooms and bedding. I simply will not stay anywhere else in Llano. Great job, Ceto! Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Denton UNT TWU; City: Denton Texas; Review: The room was superb! Comfortable, quiet. And huge!! The staff were among the best hospitality industry folks that I've EVER encountered. They were 100% on their game despite us checking in on Christmas Eve. It's all to easy too find grouchy people on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day but NOT here. They were great. I can think of absolutely nothing that wasn't perfect. It was a grand stay. Thanks HIE Denton!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Dallas Mesquite; City: Mesquite Texas; Review: Stayed here for a week while attending training at Eastfield College. They've pretty well finished all of the renovations - and it shows. Nice improved look to the place. My room was perfectly adequate with reasonably fast Wi-Fi. Good breakfast. Good rates. If you are sensitive to traffic noise you might want to be certain that you are not on the end of the building that fronts 635. These are the higher numbered rooms. If this is the case, go for one of the lower numbered rooms. Next time I'm in this area and need a place to stay I will return. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Houston Alvin; City: Alvin Texas; Review: Stayed here for one night in preparation for business the following day in Angleton and Houston. First time. Clean, well lighted and quiet. About all one could ask for in a property of this class. Nothing particularly special here though. Breakfast was standard fare and was OK. The "high speed" internet was completely underwhelming. It was so slow as to be worthless. Fortunately I was on the side of the hotel that enabled me to poach off of the La Quinta's wireless from next door. The room I was in (King) was smaller than I had anticipated and in comparison to other similar properties. Getting into and out of the property is a real pain. It is located such that there are a lot of U turns involved across the fronting divided highway. Nevertheless, if I'm back this way I would not hesitate to stay here again. Provided I'm put In a room on the "correct' side of the property. Recommended. Neverthels; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites San Antonio Downtown Market Area; City: San Antonio Texas; Review: Just a quick overnight turnaround. I'm delighted that It wasn't any longer! Let's see, let me count the misses: 1) Location - awful. In a destination city like SA lodging moves further and further away from the destination until it gets so remote that it's built in a deteriorating commercial/industrial area. Somehow the HEI found a small plot of dirt to build this place in just such an area. They should have kept looking. 2) The bed was extremely uncomfortable. 3) The construction is so cheap that I could hear the folks in the room directly above me walking around until late. No excuse for this. They weren't being boisterous. Just shabby construction at fault. 4) No shampoo in the bath. 5) The wi-fi didn't work. It wasn't just slow, it just plain didn't work. I was on the third floor near the center of the hall. Funny that they wrote the password on the room key folder for a system that didn't work. 6) The lighting for the desk in the room didn't work at all. The switch lit up correctly to show the light should have been on but no light. I've attached a photo of the space beneath the desk. Tech services gone totally awry. 7) At check in there was one lone fellow on duty to deal with all of the check in duties. While I was checking in, there were 4 other people waiting. Not his fault, he was trying. POOR management that would allow such a situation to exist in the first place. Other than all of this, it was great! Not Recommended.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites; City: Houston Texas; Review: Stayed here for a quick overnight while on a Houston turnaround. First impression was that the place looked very new and very, very clean. Nice curb appeal. The interior did not disappoint. The lobby and associated spaces were really nice. What blew me away was the size of the rooms (see photos). I had a queen efficiency. My colleague had a one room suite on another floor. While my room was huge, he reported that his was massive. Funny thing was in the queen efficiently that I was in, the bed was lost in the expanse of the space. Breakfast was fine. Standard fare. Very pleased all the way around. Will repeat when in the area. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Amarillo West Medical Center; City: Amarillo Texas; Review: Stayed here while traveling with my son and grandson on a hiking trip to Palo Duro. Have stayed here before and liked it enough to return. The rooms are always clean and comfortable and the staff are always super friendly and helpful. What's not to like. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SpringHill Suites Dallas Lewisville; City: Lewisville Texas; Review: Stayed here Thursday and Friday of last week. Had three rooms. I've got to say that I simply cannot imagine being treated any better by everyone in the hotel. The folks here exemplify superior customer service. The rooms were perfect, the overall property was perfect in every way. And it was clean, clean, clean. I will never stay anywhere else when I'm anywhere close. Highly Recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard New Haven at Yale; City: New Haven Connecticut; Review: Stayed here for two nights last week. Everything was top notch. Great staff, comfortable bed, nicely appointed room, great location near Yale. Hard to imagine anything which might have made the stay better. First property that I've been to where they have earplugs in the bedside table. Never used them. Was quiet enough as it was. Note: the neighborhood to the south is a better place to walk than to the immediate north of the property.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Dewitt Syracuse; City: DeWitt Finger Lakes New York; Review: Wife and I stayed here in advance of a meeting in Fayetteville the next morning. The location was perfect. All elements of the property were spot on. Clean, comfortable and priced right. What's not to like? The icing on the cake was the delightful lady at the front desk who checked us in. Didn't get her name but she was the attractive black lady with the curly reddish hair. (Manager, you'll know who I'm talking about. We checked in at about 9PM on 7/24.) Will definitely return when back in this part of the country. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: America s Best Value Inn; City: Saint Ignace Mackinac County Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: This motel is nothing fancy but is very adequate and quite affordable for the area. Stay comes with a complimentary breakfast, and they have an indoor pool and hot tub. The ladies at the front desk are also very helpful. Given the slim pickings in the area, this was a good choice. I would have no issues staying here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Okmulgee; City: Okmulgee Oklahoma; Review: This place will work for you, but has seen better days. The workout room was definitely lacking. It is past time for a face lift. But if you are looking for a clean comfortable place to stay for a night this will work.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Wewoka Inn Suites; City: Wewoka Oklahoma; Review: And it's recently opened so really new! I have stayed here on two different occasions in a 3rd floor mini-suite. Nice hotel at an affordable price with a nice continental breakfast. They also have an indoor pool and nice workout room. Really, the only game in town. I hope they keep up what they are doing. Recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn; City: Midland Michigan; Review: Nice motel, with a nice complimentary breakfast. This is one of the least expensive motels in the Midland area. Kudos to every member of the staff we came into contact with. Good folks. Will definitely return when back in the area. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Bennington; City: Bennington Vermont; Review: Selected the BWB based on TA reviews. Pretty good stay. On walking into the room discovered it smelled very musty but got used to it pretty quickly. The lady at the front desk gave me the wifi code but it was absolutely useless to us. Had NO signal in our room (#123 at the far end of the property). Found a handy key though. Thought if funny that if we had a craving for a can of sardines in the middle of the night and the key from the can was missing, the nice folks here provided one for us! Would have given them 3 stars but the incredibly nice and helpful morning ladies at the front desk and in the breakfast room were just so wonderful that I had to give them another star. Recommended (unless wifi is critical to you); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Fairfield Hotel; City: Fairfield Connecticut; Review: Stayed here for just one night at the end of a trip so as to be reasonably close to Tweed New Haven airport for our flight home and to visit MTM's grave at the nearby Oak Lawn Cemetery. Interesting find in our room. After pulling back the sheets and getting into bed, my wife discovered the TV remote BETWEEN the sheets. (A second remote was in the stand by the TV.) This coupled with a couple of strands of dark hair on the sheets made us wonder if the linens had even been changed in the room prior to our arrival. Hmmmmmm. We were tired and said to heck with it. We just assumed that they were changed and the TV remote somehow mysteriously found its way between the sheets. Lastly, they need to fix the exterior door that is midway back and near to #119. The closer is broken and the door slams HARD when it closes. Were it not for earplugs this would have been a problem for us. Given the strange circumstances we will not plan on returning.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Four Seasons Resort Lanai; City: Lanai City Lanai Hawaii; Review: I've enjoyed marvelous resort properties all over the world but never, and I mean never, have I ever experienced anything like we found at the FSRL. My entire resort barometer has now been reset to an entirely new level of elegance and charm. If you are looking for "it" (whatever "it" means to you) you will surely find it here. The grounds, the view, the...well...everything soar to a new level. Not inexpensive by any means but well worth it. The ocean front studio suites are marvelous, almost defying description. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Castle Hilo Hawaiian Hotel; City: Hilo Island of Hawaii Hawaii; Review: Wife and I stay at the HH every time we visit Hilo. This trip was no exception. It's nice that they have converted the 7th floor from a smoking floor to a NS floor. We normally stay on 6 so this enabled us to move up a floor. Even three years later, the place still seems fresh from the total renovation. Nice! If you are able to make your reservation soon enough, before they are all gone, I highly recommend that you book one of the Oceanview Suites. Especially if you are planning on being there any length of time. The extra room is really, really nice to have. Maybe not be worth the cost if your plans call for being on the go the entire length of your stay. But if you are looking for down time to just enjoy the sights of Hilo and Hilo Bay, then this is just the ticket. We were there for 10 days so it worked perfectly for us. No place else but the HH for us on the Big Island. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Amarillo Western Crossing; City: Amarillo Texas; Review: Stayed here for one night earlier in the week. Everything was top notch! It's pretty well gotten to the point where SS are my favorite properties. The room was large, comfortable, well appointed and had a fully equipped kitchen (that I didn't use). SS has raised the bar on the buffet breakfast. And their evening spread Is pretty neat too. The only downside was the almost non-existent free wi-fi. It barely worked in the lobby area but was useless on the 4th floor. Will definitely repeat. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites; City: Weatherford Oklahoma; Review: In town for a family event so stayed for just a single night at the HIE. For what it is I couldn't ask for anything more. Clean, comfortable, friendly folks and about a mile from our destination. Good, good and good. Will return. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dallas Marriott City Center; City: Dallas Texas; Review: Was here for a conference this week. I found everything to be just superb. Clean, spacious, a very friendly and helpful staff and lots to do in the area. If you have the need to go pretty well anywhere beyond the property itself, there is a DART station just a few steps away. All in all a fine experience. Highly Recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Corpus Christi NW Calallen; City: Corpus Christi Texas; Review: Good location, attractive lobby, friendly staff, comfortable bed, standard breakfast, clean room and clean property overall, reasonable prices and very fast free Wi-Fi. What more could a person ask for on a quick overnight turnaround to Corpus. Only one minor complaint. The pillows are about a foot thick and way too hard for my taste. Glad I brought my own.

Title: Hyatt Place Dallas Garland Richardson; City: Garland Texas; Review: Needed a home away from home for the week while attending a event in Garland. Chose the HP as it was one of the closest to my event. Great choice. A really great choice. Can't recall a better experience at a mid-level property. Friendly staff, really clean throughout and a better than usual breakfast. My room was spacious and well appointed. And to boot, the free wi-fi was fast enough to be fully functional. Will definitely repeat when I'm back in the area. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Strawberry Inn Suites; City: Knoxville Tennessee; Review: Wife and I stayed here for one night while en route back home. Found it to be a very pleasant stay. Good location, friendly staff and a perfectly fine room. Well appointed with a comfortable bed. Will definitely return if we find our way back this way. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Laredo Inn Suites; City: Laredo Texas; Review: Stayed here this week for a quick one night turn around. Chose the BW because of location and its proximity to where we needed to be the next morning. Nice newish clean property. Adequate breakfast and reasonably fast wi-fi. My room was comfortable and clean. Exceptionally good rates. The only downer was the excruciatingly slooooooow check in. They had only one individual working the front desk and it took her an inordinate amount of time to deal with each guest. All in all though, pretty good. Will likely stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Goodman Inn Suites; City: Horn Lake Mississippi; Review: Where to begin......wife and I stayed here for one night while en route back home. BAD decision. Really bad. Let me enumerate the disasters associated with this stay: 1) The young woman who checked us in was hopelessly incompetent. She was alone and clearly lacked even rudimentary training. Check in took 22 minutes. 2) The heater (HVAC) did not work in first room we were given. 3) I found a Kleenex tissue (no, it wasn't a dryer sheet) between the sheets in bed of the second room that we were given. This indicated to me that the sheets were NOT changed after the last guest and that the bed was simply made up 4) There were black hairs all over the shower. 5) There was no hair dryer in the room. 6) The hot breakfast was terrible and largely inedible. The eggs, sausage and biscuits went straight into the trash. Fortunately, they had yogurt and cold cereal. 7) Despite the fact there were three people behind the front desk at check out, it was only marginally better than check in. All in all, a TOTAL disaster and waste of resources to stay here. I wouldn't recommend this dump to my worst enemy.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Mountainbrook Inn; City: Maggie Valley North Carolina; Review: Wife and I stayed here for an overnight while en route back home. We were looking for a nice property away from the high activity areas. Maggie Valley worked out just fine. The BW met all of our needs at an extremely reasonable price. The folks were friendly and helpful, the room clean and the bed comfortable. What more could we ask for. Will return if ever back this way. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Tupelo Inn Suites; City: Tupelo Mississippi; Review: Stayed here on an overnight stop on the way to South Carolina. The Tupelo BW is one of the best. Very well taken care of both inside and out. The room was nicely appointed and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Really good breakfast. Will definitely repeat when back this way. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Suites Odessa; City: Odessa Texas; Review: Stayed here for a quick one night turn around. Finding a room in Midland/Odessa at the last minute is really, really tough! We were lucky to find this one. Just an OK place. Nothing special nor unpleasant either. Just OK. Beds was kinda hard. Wifi was respectably fast. Very spartan throughout. I've attached a picture of their Business Center. What a hoot! I'd stay here again but only if nothing else was available.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn Suites Stafford; City: Stafford Texas; Review: I initially balked at staying at a Sleep Inn owing to bad past experiences. This one, much to my surprise, was actually very, very nice. Open, airy and very clean. Had a room on the first floor which accounted for the very high ceilings. The bed was very comfortable and the room quiet. Nice pillows, too. Breakfast was OK. My only complaint is the fact that then internet was slow to the point of being barely useable. The location is a bit dicey. Not really on the main drag but off on a side road. Takes some getting to the first time. Will happily stay here again. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Wilmington Wrightsville Beach; City: Wilmington North Carolina; Review: Exceptionally nice property. Stayed here just one night as it is very near the airport. Great location for our needs. Nice. Fast Wi-fi. Great Value. Very comfortable beds. Will return when back in the area. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Laredo; City: Laredo Texas; Review: The very best I could get, wired or wireless, was in the 1.25 Mbps range. I first walked the entirety of the first and second floors with my Wi-Fi sniffer hoping to find a better signal than that present in my room. I would have asked to move if a better signal could be found. It wasn't to be. I then tried the Ethernet cable in the room. Again, nothing. I found the speed to be the same or slower than Wi-Fi. This is just unacceptable for a property in this class Then there were the meals. The Wednesday evening "burgers and brats" manger's reception was a pitiful shell of its former self. What was once really good is now clearly the victim of false economization by management. And the breakfast? Equally sad. Really sad, The rest of the details really don't even count. NOT recommended.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn; City: Edinburg Texas; Review: Neither particularly good nor particularly bad. The king room I was in had definitely seen better days. Stained curtain and ragged furniture. The high point was the reasonably fast wi-fi. Breakfast was also better than I expected. My neighbor found that there were no toiletries Had to go the front desk. Apparently housekeeping made up the room after the last guest but failed to restock. Bed was way too firm. For $65/night, you don't necessarily get the best and the brightest. I expect there are better places for next time. .; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Tokyo; City: Nishishinjuku Shinjuku Tokyo Tokyo Prefecture Kanto; Review: Never had a better hotel experience anywhere in Asia. Stayed on one of the Executive Floors which I'm certain added to the experience. Fabulous view from so far up. Nice! Breakfast was memorable both from the standpoint of service and food. The Asian and Western offerings were plentiful and delicious. The servers were beyond good. They were all great! This was unfortunately a quick business trip but we are planning to return later in the year for a more leisurely visit. No question where we'll stay. Highly Recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Executive Inn; City: Round Rock Texas; Review: Had a meeting in Austin Saturday morning at 0900 so drove down the night before. When planning the meeting, the planner apparently didn't consider the fact that this was SXSW weekend. Not being willing to pay $1020 to stay at the W on Friday night, we expanded our search. The best we could do was the BWEI in Round Rock. Not a terrible drive to Austin on Saturday morning but the accommodations left a lot to be desired. First of all, this property is one of the relics of bygone days in that all of the rooms have exterior entrances. Normally not a huge issue but with !35 entirely too close, it was noisy. The room itself was very, very dated. I could practically read a newspaper through the sheets they were so thin and well worn. The bed itself was sad. Ever been in one of those beds where the mattress is worn to the point that everything rolls toward the center of the bed? If this is your thing, look no further than the BWEI. Two towels and not single towel more. And one poor lonely washcloth draped across the towel bar in the shower room. Like the sheets, thin and worn. The one bright spot was the front desk personnel. Cheryl checked us in and went above and beyond in making sure everything was right. Very, very pleasant and helpful lady. So was the nice lady we met upon checkout in the morning. Didn't get her name but very nice lady. I see no reason to ever return.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Southpark Inn Suites; City: Tyler Texas; Review: Wife and I stayed here for two nights while visiting Tyler on a rose buying trip. Everything about the place exceeded our expectations for the typical mid level property. The staff was great, the room was extraordinarily clean and well appointed, breakfast was above average and the location was perfect. What's not to love. Will definitely stay here again on our next visit. Recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Granbury; City: Granbury Texas; Review: Wife and I stayed here while in town for a Saturday evening show and a Sunday afternoon show at Granbury Live. Check in was a breeze, the room was clean, comfortable and quiet. HIE breakfasts have never been my favorites. OK but no more than that. Nice, helpful staff throughout. Recommended. Will return when in the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Amarillo West; City: Amarillo Texas; Review: In town for a quick overnight stay while driving back home from Colorado. Checked TA for availability and found this property. Great choice. The room was clean, comfortable and very well appointed. Don't often see a television in the bathroom in a mid-level property. Not sure it was altogether necessary but kinda neat nonetheless. The staff were great, the breakfast was above average and the location was perfect. Will definitely return when in the area. Highly Recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jezero Hotel; City: Bohinjsko Jezero Upper Carniola Region; Review: On our brief visit Bohinjsko jezero we did nor stay at the Jezero Hotel but rather had light lunch in their restaurant. We ordered a caprese salad and two cokes. Pretty simple stuff, huh? After waiting for 20 minutes in a nearly empty restaurant we finally determined the reason for the delay. The kitchen clearly took an inordinate amount of time trying to slice the tomato just as thin as they possibly could. When they finally got it to the point a newspaper could be read through each slice, it was ready to be served. And to add insult to injury it wasn’t inexpensive. And it was clear the waiter was doing us a huge favor by granting us some of what was surely his precious time. Sad....... Never to return again. NOT Recommended; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Residence St Andrew s Palace; City: Warsaw Mazovia Province Central Poland; Review: What an absolutely outstanding property! We stayed here for three nights in Apt 46 and enjoyed every minute of it. Hard to decide which was better, the location, the sleep quality, the breakfast, the super helpful people, the apartment amenities? I’m just going to say YES to all of the above. And reasonably priced to boot. I’m absolutely delighted that my pre-trip accommodation scouting led me here. Will definitely stay here again if ever back this way.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Mlyn; City: Cesky Krumlov South Bohemian Region Bohemia; Review: Although they bill themselves as 4 Star property, they are a 3 Star property. And that’s being generous. The bed was comfortable. I’ll give them that. And the balcony overlooking the river is a winner. In truth, we passed on a great many other properties in CK based solely on the balcony at the Mlyn. Four rooms have them. The comfortable bed and the scenic balcony is where it ends. The room is straight out of the 80’s. Complete with worn green carpet. There is a tiny safe in the room but the locking mechanism has been removed. The mechanism to open the drain in the shower/tub is broken. This necessitated removing it entirely before showering so the water would drain. And of course the housekeeper put it back every day so I had to deal with the dirty thing every day of our stay. The breakfast buffer was laughable. The fried eggs in the warmer had the consistency of a hockey puck. And although I’ve never taken a bite out of a hockey puck, I imaging the eggs didn’t taste much better. The fresh fruit consisted of some watermelon slices that were well past their use by date. Yuck The folks at the front desk were courteous and helpful. Someplace else for us next time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: City Hotel Ljubljana; City: Ljubljana Upper Carniola Region; Review: We were in Room 508. This is one of the 5 or 6 rooms with a balcony. Now when I say balcony, I don’t mean some little open space where you can stand and look around. I mean a BALCONY. A table, two chairs with plenty of room to move around. Very, very nice. Well worth the few extra bucks. All in all, this was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. The bed was very comfortable with high quality linens. The bathroom was huge with a separate full size tub and full size shower. The breakfast buffet was superb. The location couldn’t be beat, just a 6 minute walk from the main train station and maybe 3 or 4 minutes from the triple bridge and all the major sights Ljubljana has to offer. The icing on the cake were the incredible folks at the reception desk. They were all at the top of their game. A special shoutout to Barbara Glazar. She was hands down the very best reception person I’ve ever come across in decades and decades of traveling all over the world. High Five, Barbara!! Highly Recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Abilene Inn Suites; City: Abilene Texas; Review: Our room smelled like wet dog. The entire first floor hallway from the exterior entrance to well past our room smelled like wet dog. I learned, only after the fact, that they allow pets but only in the first few rooms near the exterior entrance door. I surely would hate to be in any of those rooms. They must be truly awful. We were several rooms down the hall but it didn't matter. It was truly disgusting. After one night we moved to the Holiday Inn. There we found a nice clean, fresh smelling room. You'd be better off camping in the parking lot of the local Walmart that staying at this dump. Avoid at all costs!!!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Abilene North College Area; City: Abilene Texas; Review: What's not to love. The place is fairly new. It's generally spotless. The bed was extremely comfortable. The location was reasonably close to training I was attending at the TTHSC. A reasonable selection of restaurants (including Starbucks) was close by too. This would have easily been a 5 star stay were it not for the fact that breakfast is a paid activity rather than complimentary as it is at most mid-level properties these days. I realize that this is a HI and not an HIE where the breakfast is complimentary. HI continues to search for an identity. There was an HIE just a few blocks away and I would have stayed there had I thought about it. To most people I'm sure, certainly to me, there isn't a discernible difference between the two family brands. Next time I'll be sure and avoid the HI in favor of the HIE. Recommended (for what it is); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Hungaria City Center; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: Stayed here for four nights. Booked and paid for a suite. On check in the desk clerk assigned us a junior suite with no explanation. This, again, after pre-payment. Moving the next day was reasonably hassle free but it was like pulling teeth to get a refund for the cost difference between the two classes of rooms. For 10€ I had to practically get into a shouting match with the desk clerk. Bad, bad customer service. Breakfast was strictly a two star affair. Enough said. The room itself was quite nice. Up high overlooking the Keleti train station. As others have noted, the entire property is quite dated but with that, the bed was comfortable, the AC worked well and it was well maintained. If one is traveling into or out of Keleti station, the location simply cannot be beat. Would have easily earned 4 Stars if not for the above issues. Will opt to try somewhere different next time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Residence Inn Grand Rapids Airport; City: Grand Rapids Kent County Michigan; Review: Spent a week here and enjoyed it thoroughly. The location was great even if quite difficult for Uber and Lyft drivers to find. It needs an address that doesn't take people to the apartment complex on 28th St. Beyond that, the staff were all just super. The room was roomy and very comfortable. The breakfast was generous. All in all a really good stay. Will definitely repeat when back this way. Highly Recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Rockwall Inn Suites; City: Rockwall Texas; Review: Should have stayed elsewhere. Even a park bench would likely have been better. The bed was well past its use by date. Had to sleep in the middle to keep from rolling there anyway as it sagged so much. The pillows were lumpy and awful. The noise from I30 was unbearable. Good thing I had my earplugs or I wouldn't have gotten any sleep at all. The front desk was deserted when I tried to check out. After several minutes someone finally showed up. The only saving grace was the wonderfully upbeat and completely charming, delightful lady in the breakfast room. She's a real gem. Without her, it would have been a total disaster. And no, I didn't mention any of this to management on checkout. Why? And get a forced apology? Again, why? Never, never again.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Southpark Inn Suites; City: Tyler Texas; Review: Just a quick overning here after the Gene Watson show at the Liberty. Have stayed here before and had no difficulty in selecting the BW for another stay. The rooms and amenities are all pretty standard. What raised this property above some of the rest is the attitude of the staff. Everyone we came across was smiling and genuinely happy. Everyone asked us about our stay and if there was anything they could do for us. Note, our TV didn't work either until I unplugged it and plugged it back in. Easypeasy. Will definitely repeat. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Candlewood Suites Plano East; City: Plano Texas; Review: Really bad choice on my part to stay here. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Was in Plano for a two day training class and this place was relatively close. I tossed a coin and lost. First, they couldn't put me in the King Suite I reserved. Seems that someone was already in the room when they assigned it to me and gave me a key. Thus they "upgraded" me to the only room they had left. A room with two queen beds. Some upgrade. Ha! Second, for the two days I was there, the entire hallway in which my room was located reeked of curry. I had to stuff towels under the door to keep the stench out. Third, they provide only weekly room service. When I returned at the end of the day, the room was exactly as I left it in the morning when I departed. Fourth, breakfast is not served at this property. Not even a cheap breakfast. Every mid-level property on the planet serves breakfast. The only saving grace was the really cool guy at the front desk. Very affable and helpful fellow. And to add insult to injury, my room looked right out onto the Comfort Suites right across the parking lot. Never, never, never again.....................; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Llano; City: Llano Texas; Review: When I travel to Llano, which is frequently, I NEVER stay anyplace else. Ceto and Debbie are the BEST. Of course, the facility is great too. Always clean, comfortable and quiet. Never any reason to go anyplace else!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Bellini; City: Venice Veneto; Review: Loved this historic hotel. Great location on the canal. Close to restaurants and the water taxi. Beautiful furnishings and chandelier lighting. Good breakfast with good selection. This was our first stay after morning arrival to Italy and had to wait 3 hours for our room but still was able to get in room 2 hours before official 4 pm check in time. Hotel allowed us to leave our bags and had them waiting for us in our cooled room.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel Adriatico; City: Florence Tuscany; Review: This hotel was close to all the sights. Comfortable room with a large bathroom but no tub. Shower did have multi shower heads to give you a full body shower but size of shower felt cramped for all that water spray. Gaps in the glass shower walls allowed water to get on floor outside and had to use extra towels to keep from falling. Make sure you have two room keys. You have to use one to make the room lights work.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Muskogee; City: Muskogee Oklahoma; Review: Looked for a cheap place but you've heard the saying you get what you pay for. Located on a busy US highway so a lot of noise from traffic but also seemed to have thin walls. Room was comfortable but rooms and lobby badly needing remodeling. Front desk clerk was very friendly and helpful in recommending a restaurant. Had new queen size mattress but sheets were old and dingy. Bed was poorly made as there was not a fitted sheet and bottom sheet was not big enough for the deep mattress. Breakfast was minimal, coffee, juice, cereal, toast and apples.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Knights Inn Muskogee; City: Muskogee Oklahoma; Review: Chose this motel because we wanted an economical but quieter experience after staying in Muskogee earlier in the year at a place on the main highway where we heard big rigs going by all night. Not able to verify if it was quieter due to a strong loud thunderstorm that came through the night we were there. All rooms street level, no stairs.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: La Quinta Inn Suites Tulsa Broken Arrow; City: Broken Arrow Oklahoma; Review: Fairly new motel with nice accomdations. Nice big lobby with tables that could be used at breakfast and a 24 hour coffee bar. Also there was a drink and snack store next to the front desk. Separate room off lobby to get your breakfast which included waffles, sausage, biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs. Staff was courteous and friendly.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SpringHill Suites Omaha East Council Bluffs IA; City: Council Bluffs Iowa; Review: Enjoyed our stay. Front desk was helpful. Had a king sized suite. Very comfortable bed.

I had oatmeal that wasn’t instant that I was able to top with brown sugar, cinnamon, walnuts and cranberries. My son had a blueberry waffle. We all had the sausage and potatoes with peppers and onions. Overall a nice stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn Suites Elk City; City: Elk City Oklahoma; Review: Great breakfast, comfortable bed and great service. Breakfast had a lot of choices including sausage patties, bacon and eggs.

Title: Aspiring Lodge Motel; City: Wanaka Otago Region South Island; Review: This motel was ok The lady at reception was very pleasant , but this was not the best place we stayed whilst on our trip to the South Island. The room was not set out as we wanted, it kept creaking all through the night as it was all wood, like a log cabin. Not to our taste. Rooms were clean and well appointed. .; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Best Western Plus Aston Hall Hotel; City: Aston South Yorkshire England; Review: We are a mature couple originally from the UK but now residing in New Zealand. We were in the UK to catch up with family and friends, then did a tour of places we had never been to. We came across Aston Hall. When we drove in my Husband said we were in the wrong place, but no this is what we have booked. We were not disappointed, it was fabulous. The room was huge and immaculately clean, the bathroom was to die for .We stayed for 2 nights, but we wished we could of stayed longer. We had an evening meal in the restaurant, which was devine, and also the breakfasts set you up for the day. Would highly recommend anybody to stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alpenglow Lodge; City: Whistler British Columbia; Review: We stayed 3 nights at this beautiful apartment, with all the facilities we required. Everything was very clean, and the bed was amazing. This apartment was set right in the middle of the complex, so not far to walk to any of the attractions. We had a great meal on our last night, so have very good memories of the place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Above Tide Motel; City: Campbell River Vancouver Island British Columbia; Review: We stayed for quite a long time at the motel. The staff were very obliging, but we felt our room needed a complete update.The kitchen was very basic, and the lighting needed looking into, so did the electrics. If you plugged more that one appliance in a double power point it would blow the trip and we would have to go to the office to get it rectified..The cleaning of the room could have been better. The view was the best part of our stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Clearwater Country Inn Restaurant and RV Park; City: Clearwater British Columbia; Review: When booking in the guy was not really interested in booking us in.The room was OK nothing flash. Probably needed a complete up grade, . Property in the middle of nothing, very few places to eat,the one we found was pretty poor. We went to the falls they were brilliant. After about a week we heard from Booking.com that the Motel advised them we hadn't turned up so we were going to be charged extra. All sorted out through booking.com. So be careful! !!!; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Da Vinci Villa; City: San Francisco California; Review: When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted by a very superscilious guy, who thought everything was a joke. The room was smelly, lights didn't work, and as for breakfast the food they provided was ok, but not on cardboard plates, with plastic cutlery. The lift was extremely slow, worked only 50%of the time, they banged on the door hoping it would spring into action. We were put on the 5th floor, and told to take our luggage up the stairs, which was definately out as my wife is disabled.The location of the hotel from Fisherman's Wharf is fairly good.Would not recommend.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Pier Sixty Six Hotel Marina; City: Fort Lauderdale Broward County Florida; Review: Upon arrival were met by a lovely young lady, who dealt with us very quickly and effeciently.

She does not sugar coat anything. She is HONEST. She is honest about her marriages even though they are no one business. She is honest about missing her children which again in also no one's business. I so hope she gets her time with her children and one day they will read this book and they will know without a doubt whether there mom could be with them or not SHE WANTED TO BE!!

Title: The Most Beautiful: My Life with Prince; Author: Visit Amazon's Mayte Garcia Page; Review: This book was wonderfully written and was a good inside look at Prince which so many did not get to see when he was alive as he was a very private man. Maytee is a very strong woman that went above and beyond in the relationship with all of things she dealt with over the years of their relationship. It shows that with or without Prince in her life she had a career that would have made her very famous with or without him. The horrible suffering they both went through with losing both of their children. Some are never able to move forward in life after suffering the loss(es) of a child or multiple children. It took time for Mayte to rise up again and persevere in her line of work. Each day she missed and wondered about the children she had lost. What would they have grown up to be? What would their lives and careers be like? Would they have gone to college? Would they gotten married? and What will the partner they choose to marry be like? Those are all questions that go through anyone's mind when loosing a child. Even in heart breaking pain she soldiered on and continued to dance. She then was reached out to when a young mother to be saw her on the VH1 series Hollywood Exes and asked if she would adopt her daughter as she could not give her the life that the little one deserved. Mayte was and still is the best, proudest, and most caring mother I have ever seen. She is also an avid animal rescuer, helping so MANY animals find a loving forever home. I am so proud of the way Mayte has made a life for herself after so much turmoil and pain. The child she thought she may never have was sent from Heaven to her because Mayte needed her. I have watched her on TV during the series Hollywood Exes. She is a beautiful women with a beautiful heart. There are not many left like Mayte in this world today. Those people like Mayte should always be cherished by the citizens of this country, as she has such huge hearts and is not afraid to get dirty rescuing animals. It takes a wonderful person like Mayte and others to find homes for these pets. Especially the elderly animals that have found a loving family and home. For these animals who have NEVER known the love of a family, and a home to live out their last days feeling love. Mayte has a wonderful heart and unbelievable strength that deserves a good man to love her, her child, supports her career,The Most Beautiful: My Life with PrinceThe Most Beautiful: My Life with Prince and love of rescue.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Frampton Comes Alive; Brand: Peter Frampton; Review: Since seeing Peter Frampton in Kansas City 35 years ago, I had wondered if the "Comes Alive" album would have been remastered to CD. I was pleased to see it was, and after purchasing it, I was also pleased with the sound quality of the show I have long remembered. To any Peter Frampton fan, this is well worth purchasing, to be able to take a trip back to the days of "arena rock" and one of the best shows, "Frampton Comes Alive". The songs are still crisp, and the production values still strong, even by today's standards. Two thumbs up!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Excitable Boy; Brand: Warren Zevon; Review: Warren Zevon is one of the most talented songwriters and musicians I have ever heard. This is a GREAT CD. He has many more equally superb in his arsenal.. Such wit, humor and feeling that will leave you wondering how could you just be hearing about him now.

Title: Learning to Flinch; Brand: Warren Zevon; Review: I LOVE WARREN ZEVON. Okay, with that out of the way, I will review this CD.. If the mix was a little better, I would have given it 5 stars... Sometimes the guitar or piano overshadowed his vocals. It is still a great CD because it is Warren singing his songs live and unplugged.. Boom Boom Mancini is excellent live, and has a powerful meaning, as most of Warren's songs do. This is an excellent deal, if you wanted to hear his music unplugged with just Warren performing.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_CDs_and_Vinyl |

Title: Jack Link's X-Stick, Original, 0.5-Ounce X-Sticks (Pack of 50); Brand: Jack Links; Review: Sounded like a great product - pepperoni with an extra kick of flavor. But when I first bit into it, it tasted bland and strange - I was expecting something like the Slim Jim Pepperoni sticks, which are soft and flavorful. Another thing I dislike, is that neither the box nor the product itself contains any nutrition information - you have to mail them to get the info, it says. 29 sticks to go..; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Newtons Fig Fruit Chewy Cookies - Snack Packs, 12 Count Box, 24 Ounce (Pack of 4); Brand: Newtons; Review: I have to stay for long hours at school, and I've been looking for snacks I can bring that aren't too unhealthy. When I found out about these fig newton minis, I was pretty excited since I absolutely love the full size fig newtons. Since they're smaller, there is of course much less of the fruit filling.. but still, a delicious snack. The size of each individual bag is quite small (a little over 1oz) so it's not too great at staving off those hunger pangs, but it helps.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deep River Snacks Rosemary & Olive Oil Kettle Cooked Potato Chips, 5-Ounce (Pack of 12); Brand: Deep River Snacks; Review: I was expecting some "serious flavor" as it was advertised on the bag.. but compared to other jalapeno chips I've had, it's pretty bland. The ingredients list is short, which is a plus, and it's fairly low in sodium (160mg per 1oz serving) which is probably why I prefer this less, as I like saltier chips. Overall I'd say this is a good choice if you like a healthier version of a jalapeno chip.. but if you like strong flavor like I do, stick with Kettle brand jalapeno chips.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Blair's Death Rain Habanero Kettle Chip, 5-Ounce Packages (Pack of 14); Brand: Blair's; Review: Probably my favorite chips of all time. A good crunch, a good amount of seasoning and flavor, and just the right amount of spiciness for me.. but knowing that it contains hydrogenated oils, eating it makes me feel extremely guilty.. can't let myself order anymore! Goodbye, my love.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: GoMacro Organic Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, 2.5 oz Bars (Pack of 15); Brand: GoMacro; Review: The thing I like best about this protein bar is that it's organic. The one thing I really hated about hunting for protein bars is that almost all of them have artificial sweeteners or other bad stuff - if you're trying to eat health food, at least get something better for you. The macronutrients are decent, but since this is made from mainly peanuts, it's fairly high in calories so it's probably better as part of a meal replacement for dieters or a protein supplement for vegans. The taste is really weird to me.. I have to drink an entire cup of water and eat it slowly. However, this gets four stars for me for being organic and fairly healthy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Miso-Cup Japanese Restaurant Style, 2.9-Ounce Pouch(Pack of 6); Brand: Edward & Sons; Review: A really great taste! It's almost as good as the miso soup from one of my favorite lunch spots, Pepperlunch, which makes their miso soup fresh every day. Perfect for if you have miso soup cravings and don't want to have to also pay for a sit-down meal at a Japanese restaurant. With subscription, this comes out to just about $1 per cup. Very reasonable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kitchen Basics Original Chicken Bone Broth, 8.25 oz (Pack of 12); Brand: Kitchen Basics; Review: I've tried quite a few brands of bone broth and this one is definitely the best taste at its price. A very strong and rich chicken flavor, I usually just add a bit of black pepper as it's heating and it is perfect. If you're looking for an even richer and more delicious bone broth, I highly recommend Kettle and Fire's Mushroom Chicken bone broth. Only downside is it is nearly triple the price per serving...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sweetwood Smokehouse | All-Natural | Fatty Meat Stick | Nitrite-Free | Grass-Fed | Gluten-Free | Original | 2oz (20; Brand: Sweetwood Smokehouse; Review: Bought this hoping for a high fat snack as part of a ketogenic diet. It has a pretty good flavor but please note that the top ingredient is pork and not beef (beef is second) so it didn't taste like what I expected. Although it's still good, the 2oz size is actually a bit too much, and even if I'm snacking on some cheese along with this I get a bit tired of the taste about 75% complete. Also to note for any other purchasers hoping for a Keto-friendly snack - this does contain 3g of net carbs per stick, with 1 gram of sugar. Not horrible, but will keep looking for a better keto option.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Grocery_and_Gourmet_Food |

Title: The Well-Fed Microbiome Cookbook: Vital Microbiome Diet Recipes to Repair and Renew the Body and Brain; Author: Visit Amazon's Kristina Campbell Page; Review: I have been learning so much lately about the microbiome. It can get so messed up and so easily. It's get messed up when you have a c-section and the baby doesn't get the bacteria from the vaginal tract. It gets messed up from antibiotics - ones that you take in pills and ones that are in our water and in meat. It get messed up from the chemicals that are sprayed on fruits and vegetables. It's actually really scary - how quickly we can lose our gut health. I've often felt overwhelmed. Then I came across this book! How perfect! I didn't even know a book like this existed out there. PROS: -Great book to help your family regain a good microbiome (several chapters of information) -TONS of good recipes (over 150) -Comprehensive recipes broken up into good sections (breakfast, smoothies, soups, salads, sides, main dishes, fish, seafood, meat, poultry, snacks, desserts, condiments, and fermented foods/ drinks) -Two phases of recipes for repair and revitalization CONS - I just wish there were more pictures. I like pictures in cookbooks and there is only one per chapter. This cookbook is a wonderful addition to your kitchen!

Title: Halo 3; Brand: by
Microsoft; Review: This is a terribly overpriced dismal failure of a game. This is an overrated and overhyped expansion pack. Nothing more. Problems: No new weapons in multiplayer No new vehicles in multiplayer No new anything in multiplayer 3 new multiplayer maps that will be free in 2 to 3 months or at least offered for sale on Xbox live at that time for $15.00 All the previous Halo 3 Multiplayer maps which isn't that helpful if you are like me and have already purchased all of them. Visor on the playable character in the campaign that obscures your vision. Dark (entirely too dark) levels in the campaign. Short campaign - about 5 hours on Legendary. The ODST character dies about every 4 seconds when an enemy looks at him funny. The AI enemy characters are consistently stupid, oftentimes running into walls while driving vehicles. Night vision on your goggles puts an annoying outline on everything. This I believe is an attempt to hide the fact that bungie did nothing to improve the graphics in this game over Halo 3. Additionally they didn't do enough work on the design of enemies. Everything either looks too dark, or has an outline with the middle completely dark, or is ultra shiny. The Supervisor guy is hard to navigate while in menus and I found myself stuck more than a couple of times, just trying to get my visor to be clear again. Save yourself some money and don't buy this game! Good Stuff about the game: The cover art on the box is nice. They marketed the game well. [...] [...].; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Halo 3 - Xbox 360; Brand: by
Microsoft; Review: In my opinion this is the best game hands down that has ever been made for xbox360! I have actually burned through 3 discs because I play the game so much. The campaign is great but the online play is where Halo 3 really shines. Great things about this game: -Fantastic sound effects - they change based on the character that you use, spartan or elite, male or female. -Beat downs - melee attacks are great to finish off an opponent after you unload a clip into them. -Online matchmaking with thousands of online players. -Many maps available online. -FORGE mode: you can create your own maps using theirs as a template, then you can invite people from online to play them with you. They can even save the maps on their xbox to use for later. -Don't understand why that person just beat you in matchmaking? Go to the theater and watch the game from their perspective. -Trash talk other players as you pound them into spartan pulp. I could go on and on, but the main thing is that no game library is complete without this title! Buy it you won't be sorry. This game is not recommended for children as the online play can get a little mature over the microphone and headset - from other players.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: EA Sports Active - Nintendo Wii; Brand: by
Electronic Arts; Review: Just wanted to let everyone know that this game is great! I do agree that it can be improved upon but this has been my best Wii fitness title to date. I've owned practically all of them. I used to be in great shape, but about 2 years ago it all went down hill. I started to write my first book, while working full time and didn't have the time to go to the gym anymore. At the same time I started getting sleep apnea and also developed hypothyroidism. I didn't know any of this at the time. I just realized that I was tired all of the time and had little energy. Because of my book deadlines I was averaging about 4 hours of sleep each night and while I knew this wasn't healthy; it was necessary. The end result was that I had gained about 80 pounds in a years time. So I have desperately been trying to undo all of that since I have begun taking synthetic thyroid. The GAME: I started doing the 30 day challenge because I was completely out of shape. I started on the low intensity level. I found the controls intuitive for the most part except for the inline skating, the rows, and the squats. However after doing about 10 workouts, I have become used to the controls and now they work fine. The biggest thing is to stay motivated and to not quit. In 1 month of doing this program, along with watching what I eat; I have lost 10 pounds. I know that I can continue to lose more if I can continue to use the program. This program will kick your butt, if it doesn't then you haven't been following the routines faithfully or you are already in great shape! My complete program details are below. I hope this helps everyone! Exercise: 30 day challenge - I just let the program decide what I would do on any given day and I did that workout. Crunches - starting with 20 per exercise session, increasing it by 10 reps each week. So 20-20-20, then 30-30-30, followed by 40-40-40, and finally 50-50-50 on the fourth week. Occasionally if I was feeling extra motivated, I would pop in a video and do my elliptical trainer - 30 minutes to 1 hour. That was sporadic though. If I did the elliptical or walked that day, then I would allow myself to eat some carbohydrates at night. Diet: Monday - Friday 5 small meals per day Focusing on green vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and lean protein for each meal with the exception of 2 small protein shakes for meals 2 and 4 or 5. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day (sometimes I use Crystal light for variety) Reducing greatly or eliminating any carbohydrates at night. A sample day looks like this: Breakfast - 2 egg beaters and some oatmeal with splenda, coffee, and juice. - Sometimes I would cheat and have eggs and bacon, or regular eggs and a sausage patty. Meal 2 -; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Battlefield 4 - Xbox One; Brand: by
Electronic Arts; Review: Want bugs, you name it, this game has them. -Failure to find servers -Lockups -Kicks you out of the game, randomly -Glitches (like in Halo) -Poor game physics -Server full errors -Won't let you in games -Quick match - Conquest is regularly broken. -and its latest trick, you lose all experience and weapon unlocks. -In game chat does not work properly Not to mention most of the greatest content costs extra to download and unlock. Now let's talk specifics. Campaign: Is broken. My progress was never saved. I played it the first day for almost 2 hours and then had to leave it. The next time I played it had lost all of my progress and I had to sit through the terrible underwater jeep/truck sequence. Again I played it for an hour and shut the game off. The next time I came back it had lost all my progress again. Multiplayer: Plenty of issues here. If and when the game works (about 25% of the time) it is fun to play and can be a great game. However, the errors greatly overshadow the fun in this game. You shouldn't have to wonder if the game will load every time that you turn on your Xbox One to play. They have help on the HUD that constantly pops up with the same messages and there is no way to get them to leave and not come back. I played through and gritted my teeth until I reached level 22. I had told myself that I would just deal with the issues because I had already been suckered into buying the game and trying every new patch in the hopes that they would fix it. But then it lost my experience. Put me back at 0 rank and lost all of my weapon unlocks. That is when I decided I have had enough. Multiplayer includes all of the issues I listed above and more. The destruction level is again very weak. DICE again lied to us (as in BF3) about the level of destruction in the game. I am a firearm collector and the weapon ballistics are way off. Some of the .223/5.56 caliber guns seem to hit harder than the 7.62X51 and 7.62X54 guns. Sorry DICE, it doesn't work that way in real life. The game constantly locks up, and boots you randomly out. This means that you lose any progress you made during that game. If you buy this game, and again I am returning my copy, I would wait at least 6 months for them to fix this garbage. I even waited over a month and downloaded multiple patches but the game still has severe problems. I personally won't buy another BF title. They have killed any of my trust that I had for them and their games. Commander Seems to work alright. Pretty boring though.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Battleborn - Xbox One; Brand: by
2K Games; Review: Battleborn is the perfect example of what not to do with a game. I love the long prologue that I am forced to watch and then being forced to play a single player campaign before I can play multilayer, bravo. Truly a total piece of worthless garbage. I'm very happy that I bought it in the used bin for $5.00 (which is $4.99 more than it is worth). Literally 80% of the game us unusable until you go through this stupid, cartoony, prologue. Avoid this game! It is terrible.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Video_Games |

Georgia Hunter takes us the readers, through her family stories and as I read the book, I formed close and intimate bond with each and everyone of her characters. I felt their pain, their sadness and their agonies. This book is a journey through the pure atrocity of human kind. I have read many many Holocaust books and always felt the depth of misery, but with this one, I lived and embarked with each members in their horrific journey. I feel that I could attend one of their family reunion and enjoy every bit of their conversations as I have grown to know their grandfather and family through this marvelous book.

The location was good, with several local resteraunts that were fair to good and quick access to travel routes. Traffic in Napa/Sonoma can be bad, but the location made it easier.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Inn at Face Rock; City: Bandon Oregon; Review: I recently stayed at the Best Western In at Face Rock in Bandon Oregon on 2 different occasions. The hotel is clean, well layed out and well staffed. The prices are reasonable. The location is superb with access to the beach and the town of Bandon. The beach is fantastic for families and the town of Bandon has all the food and amenities.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Four Seasons Resort Lanai; City: Lanai City Lanai Hawaii; Review: Fantastic place to visit and stay. Lanai is a beautiful laid back island with access available to most all the island. Been quite a few years back since last stay as Manelle Bay and could afford high prices, that have gotten even much higher since Four Seasons took over. Might better suggest the Lodge on Lanai or VRBO for those visiting Lanai.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Silicon Valley Inn; City: Sunnyvale California; Review: I am a frequent user of Best Western Hotels in my work usually traveling an average of once a week through out the year as well as my staff staying there frequently. I would book rooms at the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn in Sunnyvale, Ca. several times a year when in the area. In January-February, 2019 I booked a room at the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn through a 3rd party as that was all that was available at that time for this hotel. The hotel showed sold out, but there was a room available through a 3rd party booking. Unfortunately, I was unable to physically make it to the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn on the reservation date due to storms and Highway closures. I discussed my inability to make the reservation due to Highway closures (beyond my control) with the 3rd party booking agent and they were considerate and willing to refund the room rate, all they asked was for the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn to phone or email them and confirm I had spoken to them. I had contacted the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn in advance to let them know I could not make the reservation due to Highway closures in northern California. I'm sure they probably re-rented the room to another party as plenty of advance notice was given of the cancellation.. The staff at the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn refused to even discuss the matter with me and were terribly rude and impolite. I contacted Best Western Corporate directly and they would not assist me saying it had to be handled by the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn and 3rd party booking agent. I explained several times to the Best Western Corporate that all I needed was for the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn to contact the 3rd party booking agent and the refund would have been made. Best Western Corporate seemed more concerned with standing behind the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn rude and inconsiderate staff than helping a loyal customer. In summary the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn was terribly rude, inconsiderate and I will not be staying at this hotel again. I do not recommend the Best Western Silicon Valley Inn. This has certainly has tested my business relationship with all Best Western hotels for future lodging.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Love Lifted Me (A Songbird Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Sara Evans Page; Review: First of all, I've got to be honest: I'm not a football fan. I try to watch the Super Bowl so I can feel, you know, American. But mostly, it just doesn't hold my attention. That said, this novel could entirely win me over to the sport!! I was emotionally invested throughout the whole thing - rooting for Max Benson and his Warriors, for Tucker as he tried to kick and especially for Max and Jade as a couple. Rachel Hauck and Sara Evans do a wonderful job capping off their Songbird series. I especially appreciated the quality of the writing...and the surprises along the way!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Promise Me This; Author: Visit Amazon's Cathy Gohlke Page; Review: When you pick up a novel about the Titanic, you know there are going to be tears. But I didn't realize how moving the whole book, not only the Titanic scenes, was going to be. I loved this book. It was a beautifully written story, rich with historical detail and character depth. The story kept me intrigued and the characters made a beeline for my heart, pretty much from page one. I also enjoyed the fact that the Titanic wasn't the sole historical impact in this story...it stretches through WWI, and I truly found the whole story fascinating. But best of all, the writing. Lyrical and just so, so well-crafted. Okay, I'm going to stop gushing now, other than to say, this story is absolutely going into my must-read-again pile. And now...I'm going to go search for Cathy Gohlke's other titles.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wish You Were Here: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Beth K. Vogt Page; Review: Wish You Were Here is a truly fabulous debut from novelist Beth Vogt. I loved the balance of comedy, romance and emotion. I especially appreciated the depth of the characters. Both the hero and heroine had clear wounds in their pasts which they had to deal with throughout this story. The story hook grabs the reader immediately...and doesn't let go until the last page. Throw in a few llamas, and this is a novel you won't be able to put down. This is one I'll definitely be reading again. All I can say now: When does Beth Vogt's next book release?!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lakeside Family (Love Inspired); Author: Visit Amazon's Lisa Jordan Page; Review: Even if I didn't enjoy the story of characters Josie and Nick in Lakeside Family (which I sooo did), I'd love this book simply for the wonderful writing. Author Lisa Jordan paints with words! I loved the voices of her characters--especially side character Agnes--and the way the author's words put you right in a scene. As for the story itself, it had just the right mix of tension, emotion and also humor. Josie has her sarcastic moments--and I loved that. I loved the scenes with Nick and his daughter. The premise itself grabbed me right from the start. And yes, there might have been tears toward the end! This is a wonderful sophomore story from Lisa Jordan, and a perfect followup to her debut novel, Lakeside Reunion. I'm hoping for a third return to Shelby Lake!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Love in Disguise; Author: Visit Amazon's Carol Cox Page; Review: You have to love a heroine who's willing to take on not only one, but two identities...all on a whim to prove herself as Pinkerton detective. Right from the start of "Love in Disguise," I loved Ellie Monroe. She's feisty, she's talented, with just enough insecurity about her appearance to keep her from being cocky. Probably what I enjoyed most about this novel was Ellie's switching back and forth between her identities, trying to keep up with her own stories and attempting to solve a mystery with zero experience. :) The novel moved at a pretty quick pace and kept me guessing. I enjoyed the light romance, as well. This was my first Carol Cox novel, but it won't be my last. **My thanks to the publisher for providing a free copy for review. I was not required to write a positive review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Bride Opens Shop in El Dorado, California (Brides & Weddings); Author: Visit Amazon's Keli Gwyn Page; Review: Keli Gwyn's debut novel has definitely been the highlight of my summer reads! There's just so much to love... By far, what I enjoyed most in this story was the banter between the hero and heroine. Between Elenora Watkins' feisty determination and Miles Rutledge's stubbornness, the reader is in for a treat as the pair face off. Both characters are definitely likable--though, of course, they've got their flaws and painful pasts. I love their battles of wit even as their friendship and respect for one another grow. And I enjoyed the peeks we get into their pasts throughout the story. And, of course...Tildy. Elenora's daughter is snappy and cute. She adds a lot of humor to the story, especially when she starts playing matchmaker. I loved the inclusion of music in the story, as well--such a skillful move on the author's part to show a softer side of both characters and draw them together. Finally, I really appreciated the attention to historical detail. I felt like I was out west, in the right time period. Everything from clothing to the items Elenora and Miles sell in their stores to the building put me right in the storyworld. I'm already on the lookout for Keli Gwyn's next book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lady Outlaw (Love Inspired Historical); Author: Visit Amazon's Stacy Henrie Page; Review: There's so much to love about Stacy Henrie's debut novel. The western setting...the uniqueness of her heroine's, ahem, profession...and especially the spunkyness of her main character. I appreciated the quick pace of the author's writing and the attention to historical detail. And I wondered all the way through the book how in the world the heroine would untangle herself from the outlaw life she's gotten herself into. A wonderful debut from Stacy Henrie!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Be Still My Soul: The Cadence of Grace, Book 1; Author: Visit Amazon's Joanne Bischof Page; Review: Ohhh, where to start? I loved this book...read it in a day! First, Gideon. I will be honest and say I had trouble liking the guy at the start of the book. But I think most readers would say the same. Thing is, even in his unlikeable state, something about Joanne Bischof's hero tugs at the reader's heart...and as you get further and further into the story, you find yourself cheering for the man, certain that he can change and live up to the man he's meant to be. I love his journey. Lonnie was a lovable heroine, as well. She's a sympathetic character straight from the start. The setting is gorgeous and the author's writing skills bring it to life all through the story. A wonderful debut from author Joanne Bischof. Can't wait for the next one in the series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Firefly Island: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Lisa Wingate Page; Review: Simply put, I loved Lisa Wingate's latest release. The beginning hooked me right away with Mallory's hurried marriage and sudden move across the country. That piece of the story has a fun "mail-order bride" feel. But even more than that, I so appreciated the voice in Lisa's writing...it was lilting and reflecting and heart-tugging. Mallory was so honest--painfully so, at times. I liked the "Pioneer Woman" touch, too. The storyworld was also fabulous. Definitely felt like I was in Texas. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wishing on Willows: A Novel (Wildflowers from Winter Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Katie Ganshert Page; Review: If I thought Katie Ganshert's debut novel, Wildflowers from Winter, was fabulous, Wishing on Willows was just as fabulous...if not more. The author's writing style is lyrical and heart-tugging, and her characters so real-to-life. But I have to say my favorite thing about Wishing on Willows is the depth of emotion...I felt right along with the characters. And I should add, I read WoW on an airplane...there were tears...and I'm pretty sure the woman sitting next to me worried a little. :) Ganshert has a permanent place on my bookshelf!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Though My Heart Is Torn: The Cadence of Grace, Book 2; Author: Visit Amazon's Joanne Bischof Page; Review: There's only one thing I could possibly say that I didn't like about this book: the fact that I have to wait for the next in the series!! Just as she did in her first, author Joanne Bischof completely swept me away in this book. First of all, the storyworld is fabulous. I felt like I was in the Appalachians the whole time I was reading. Lonnie and Gideon are as sympathetic as ever--and it was fun to see them mature further in this book, even as they face what seems like a hopeless situation. Joanne Bischof has such a wonderful writing voice, as well. I also enjoyed the introduction of a third POV character--Cassie. Cassie in this book reminded me of Gideon in the first book. Watching her change and grow as a person was one of my favorite parts of the story. I'm definitely antsy for the third book in this series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Undeniably Yours; Author: Visit Amazon's Becky Wade Page; Review: Okay, can I just say Undeniably Yours has one of the cutest covers EVER? And the story inside lives up to the cover. Meg captured my heart from the beginning and Bo is as swoon-worthy as they come. But most of all, I appreciate Becky Wade's ability to tap into emotion and pull me into the head and heart of her characters. I definitely recommend Undeniably Yours and can't wait for this author's next book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Once Upon a Prince (Royal Wedding Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Hauck Page; Review: I love authors whose books you can pick up knowing you're going to love. I love it even more when said author takes your already high expectations and goes soooo far beyond meeting them...which is exactly how I felt reading Once Upon a Prince. You can read a synopsis of the story elsewhere, so let me just say Rachel Hauck's signature storytelling depth is in fine form here...believable characters, wonderfully paced plot. But even more than that, this story felt...magical. I can't wait for the next in this author's Royal Wedding series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Let Me Fall: The Love Story Between God and His Dimwitted Daughter; Author: Visit Amazon's Beth Pensinger Page; Review: Some books just tug on your heart in the coolest way--and that's Beth Pensinger's Let Me Fall. Beth has a fabulously fun voice and her writing style invites you to linger over her words. But most of all, I loved how she let us into her heart in this book. In between (and even in the mist of) LOL moments, her honesty and heart for God shine through. This is one I know I'll be re-reading.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Angelguard: Not All the Spirits Are Good (Angelguard Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's Ian Acheson Page; Review: I'm a long-time Ted Dekker fan, so as soon as I saw Angelguard compared to some of Dekker's earlier works, I knew I had to check it out. What I didn't know is that I'd be holding my breath through most of the book. I loved the fast-paced plot, for one thing--it definitely kept me turning pages. But, too, the spiritual resonance stuck with me long after reaching the end. Packed with action, wit and depth, Angelguard was an awesome read. I can't wait to see what Ian Acheson offers next!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Disappearing Key; Author: Visit Amazon's Wendy Paine Miller Page; Review: There's just something about this story...I've been thinking about writing this review for days, trying to sum up my thoughts. And I keep coming back to the same word: poignant. It's the kind of story that sticks with you, gets you asking questions and pondering answers. I loved that about it. Add in a plot that moves along, a three-person POV and lyrical writing, and this is a not-to-be-missed story. Can't recommend enough!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Swimming Through Clouds: A Contemporary Young Adult Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Rajdeep Paulus Page; Review: Swimming Through Clouds was one of the most impacting books I've read this year. And I really mean that. The book fascinated me from the first chapter simply due to the author's voice--it's incredible, it really is. But I was just as swept away by the story itself as by the writing. It's a powerful story of a teenager without a voice. In some ways it's not an easy read...the situations facing the heroine, Talia, broke my heart. But watching her journey from someone desperate to be heard to someone with a voice, from hopeless to hopeful, it stuck with me long after the ending. I can't recommend it enough.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: My Hope Is Found: The Cadence of Grace, Book 3; Author: Visit Amazon's Joanne Bischof Page; Review: Joanne Bischof's first book, Be Still My Soul, captured me from the first chapter. I ended up reading it in a day. I did the same with her second...and now again with her third. The writing is beautiful--lyrical, with a strong sense of time and place and voice. I felt like I lived Lonnie's struggle right alongside her through My Hope is Found. I love it when an author can make you feel just as torn as the character you're reading about! This was the perfect ending to a wonderful series. Highly recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jesus Is Better than You Imagined; Author: Visit Amazon's Jonathan Merritt Page; Review: The thing with so much writing from younger Christian leaders today, especially those whove grown up in "the church," is that it often seems to come from a place of resigned disillusionment at best, hostility at worst. Jonathan Merritt's book, on the other hand, is a breath of fresh air. No, it doesnt avoid hard places nor does it sugar coat the frustrations or letdowns or doubts that tangle our faith journeys. But Merritt has such a hopeful, heart-absorbing but also refreshingly even-keeled way of approaching these things. Plus, hes just a fantastic storyteller. There's a vulnerability and sincerity that reels you in chapter after chapter without fail. For anybody whos hit those spiritually listless seasons in life, Jesus is Better is truly a must-read. Only one chapter in, I felt stirred up in the best way. And days after finishing the book, its still rustling around inside me. Hands-down one of my favorite non-fiction reads in a long time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Called: My Journey to C. S. Lewis's House and Back Again; Author: Visit Amazon's Ryan J. Pemberton Page; Review: Winsome. Engaging. Poignant. Ryan Pemberton's CALLED is all this and more. I have to be honest. Part of the reason I picked up CALLED, Ryan's brilliantly and personably penned memoir about his time at Oxford, was pure nostalgia. I studied and interned in England ten years ago and have returned several times since. I was pretty sure the book would feed my nostalgia. And it did. Little details--mentions of Sainsbury's, digestives (tea biscuits with the best/worst name ever), cozy pubs--took me back to what was definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life. Even if you've never been to England, Ryan's vivid storytelling will make you feel as if you have. But by the end of the first chapter, I knew this book was going to be more than a "hey, I saw that landmark, too!" experience. By the end of the second chapter, I was in tears. And by the end of the last chapter, I felt churned up...in a good, good way. The thing with Ryan's story is...it's not just his story. It's his journey, yes, of letting go of a comfortable career in the U.S. to instead study at Oxford and pursue a writing dream that perhaps hadn't even fully formed when he started out. But as much as CALLED is Ryan's story, as I read I couldn't stop thinking, this can be my story. This journey of abandon and dependence and trust and deepening faith even in the face of questions or doubts, loneliness or hardship...it's not just for Oxford students or writers or artists. It's for all of us. If we want it to be. The experience Ryan describes of reading Lewis's Mere Christianity and discovering his own passion and purpose became my experience as I read Ryan's words. Which is why I didn't just finish this book challenged and inspired...but grateful. Incredibly, incredibly grateful. CALLED is an experience in lyrical writing and thoughtful narrative. It has a wonderful pace about it, along with a heart and sincerity that constantly kept me turning pages. It's hopeful, and I love that. CALLED is for fans of C.S. Lewis, yes, and those who enjoy memoirs. But I hope its audience expands far beyond those boundaries, because its takeaway is the game-changing kind.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Reservations for Two: A Novel of Fresh Flavors and New Horizons (Two Blue Doors); Author: Visit Amazon's Hillary Manton Lodge Page; Review: I loooove this book. Really love it. And honestly, I think it's hard for second books in trilogies to hold on to the zest of the first while steadily building up to the third. Lodge accomplishes this beautifully. I keep using the word "delectable" when I talk about Reservations (which I do...a lot!) because it really is the perfect word. It's also witty and winsome, and I couldn't get enough of the WWII-era Paris letters sprinkled throughout the book. Now I just have to wait for the third... *Scarlett O'Hara sigh*; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fatal Reunion (Love Inspired Suspense); Author: Visit Amazon's Jessica R. Patch Page; Review: Okay, Im a girl who does not read much suspense. Just not my thing. But when I heard one of my favorite bloggers had a new romantic suspense book out, I knew Id have to read it. And Im so glad I did! The action starts right away in the first chapter and with each new story question that arrives, the plot takes a fast-paced twist. Piper and Luke are easy to sympathize with and the cast of side charactersincluding a villain I never want to meet in a dark parking garage! add to the appeal. On a personal note, I love seeing a strong, scrappy heroine! Thats reader catnip for me. Throw in a crackling romance and relatable spiritual thread and youve got a wonderful debut from an author sure to be a new reader fave!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bride of a Distant Isle: A Novel (The Daughters of Hampshire); Author: Visit Amazon's Sandra Byrd Page; Review: I honestly loved every moment on this novel. It had that perfect gothic atmosphere...both eerie and gorgeous. The storyline continually surprised me and the romance... *sigh* ... soooo good. It's one I'll be reading again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Flight of Arrows: A Novel (The Pathfinders); Author: Visit Amazon's Lori Benton Page; Review: Honestly, I almost feel silly trying to review this book because it was so gorgeous and soul-stirring that pretty much nothing I write will do it justice. Which I realize sounds ultra gushy but if any book deserves massive gushing, it's this one. I know it's still early in the year, but I can say without a doubt I've already read my favorite book of 2016. I read A Flight of Arrows in a day. This takes place near the beginning of the Revolutionary War, and the history is meticulously laid out...which I loved. Yes, there are quite a few names and events and locations to keep track of, but really, that just made the story all the richer for me. The plot moves at a great pace...picking up and slowing down in a really nice rhythm. There were moments leading up to major events--battles, rescues, momentous decisions by characters who feel SO real--when I was legit holding my breath. :) The romances are lovely and aching. And the emotional depth...oh. my. Seriously, it's just gorgeous and heart-wrenching and beautiful and perfect...and it resonated with me in a deeply personal way. You will want to read the first in the series, The Wood's Edge, before moving on to this one, if possible. Understanding the various characters' pasts makes their current journeys and choices all the more meaningful. Huge, huge, impossible-to-sum-up love for Lori Benton's latest!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Together at the Table: A Novel of Lost Love and Second Helpings (Two Blue Doors); Author: Visit Amazon's Hillary Manton Lodge Page; Review: ...and I would've devoured it in less than two days if I hadn't had this thing called a job getting in my way. :) Hillary Manton Lodge's final installment in the Two Blue Doors series does everything a finale should! It answers questions we've had throughout the series and gives us one more chance to hang out with our favorite characters. I loved watching Juliette find her way...facing momentous and emotional life events. I loved getting to see the D'Alisa family interact again--they're such a mix of hilarious and poignant, witty and insightful. And I especially loved discovering the rest of the story surrounding the family's intriguing history. A perfect conclusion to a wonderful series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Lady and the Lionheart; Author: Visit Amazon's Joanne Bischof Page; Review: I've been letting this story nestle in my brain for a couple days, trying to figure out how to review it. But maybe the best thing to note is that a) I read it in one evening (legit, could not stop!) and b) only two days later, I'm ready to reread it. My heart is too full of Charlie Lionheart and Ella to move on to any other book. The emotional depth of this story blew. me. away. It was a gradual heartbreaking, piece by piece, and then a steady and moving healing. I just...ahhh...I don't have words for how much I loved it. It's heart-wrenching in the best possible way, but also underpinned with hope. One of my very favorite things about Bischof's storytelling is she never rushes. She gives her characters and their emotional journeys room to breathe. And yet, somehow at the same time, the plot continues to move. I never feel like it's dragging. Her writing is lyrical and heartfelt. I just can't say enough how much I loved this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: One More Song to Sing; Author: Visit Amazon's Lindsay Harrel Page; Review: Lindsay Harrel's writing is something special, that's for sure! This story hits all the right notes. It's poignant, heart-touching and the kind of story that sticks with you long after the last page. Plus, I loved the Nashville / music scene angle--it felt vibrant and authentic. The best kinds of stories are the ones that drop me in a new place and make me feel like I'm there...and Harrel definitely accomplished that. I'm so excited to see what this new author has for us next!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Lady in Disguise: A Novel (The Daughters of Hampshire); Author: Visit Amazon's Sandra Byrd Page; Review: It took me a little while to sit down and write this review simply because I wasn't sure how to put into words how much I loved ithow thoroughly it enchanted me! The writing is sooooo lyrical, so atmospheric. It was such a wonderful blend of eerie, romantic and mysterious. Plus, the story moved at the perfect pace for me. I love authors who can keep a plot moving and yet, also give the story and the characters and the emotion room to breathe. One of the things I especially loved about this novel is the story thread surrounding The Cause and the heroines actions to help downtrodden women. Partially, I appreciated it on a person level as Im involved in a nonprofit that provides rescue and recovery for people who are homeless and hungry. So that angle of A Lady in Disguise really spoke to me. But also, just on a story level, I think it added a lot of depth to Gillians character. We see her desire to honor her moms wishes, her own personal desire to help, but also the way another characterat timesguilts her into noble or sacrificial actions. It was a really nuanced treatment of the subjects of compassion, social justice and individual, intentional outreach. It just made the story all the richer for me. Overall, I really cant recommend this book enough! After loooooving the first two books in the series, I had high expectations for this oneand Sandra Byrd exceeded every one of them. This novel can be read as a standalone, but don't let that stop you from reading all three in the series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Many Sparrows: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Lori Benton Page; Review: No exaggeration: Ive been sitting on this review for weeks because I cannot figure out how to put into words how much I love this stunning book. But Ill do my best The storyline: This story is action-packed and well-paced, with the heart-wrenching tragedy Clare faces propelling us through the story. One of the things I adore about Lori Bentons writing is that she gives her characters and her scenes room to breathe, allowing me as the reader to fully sink in. And yet, at the same time, the plot keeps moving. She pulls the reader along gently but also somehow urgently as we feel the both the sorrows and the joys her characters experience. Speaking of The characters: I. Love. Them. Clare and Jeremiah are heart-tugging from the first pages. I don't think Ive ever met a Lori Benton hero I didn't adore or heroine I didn't identify with. I may never have experienced the kind of hurts Clare does throughout this story or the kind of complicated problems Jeremiah does, but their emotions are real and riveting. I also loved getting to revisit Cade and Jesse from Bentons earlier books, The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn. (But if you haven't read that one, no worries. You don't need to have read it to enjoy this book.) The history: No one does historical fiction like Lori Benton. Its sweeping and rich in detail. Her research shows clearly without bogging the reader down. All in all, Many Sparrows is beautiful, layered and poignant. It touched me deeply, and its one I know Ill re-read more than once.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: One Christmas In Winter (Winter, Montana Novella) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Bell Renshaw Page; Review: Okay, it took me way too long to sit down and write this review, but my slowness in no way reflects how much I loved this book! Such a sweet and delightful Christmas romance...charming, witty and heartwarming. Relatable characters, a picture-perfect setting and a plot that moves at just the right pace. The perfect book to read by a fire with a mug of hot chocolate. Well done, Bell Renshaw! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Lacemaker; Author: Visit Amazon's Laura Frantz Page; Review: I loooooove Laura Frantz's writing and The Lacemaker reminded me why...it just so completely transports me. It's gorgeous and lilting and perfect. I loved watching Elisabeth / Liberty transform in this story. I found myself inwardly cheering for her as she grew in strength and resolve. And Noble...one of the best heroes I've read in a long time. The two things I loved most about him: How important hospitality, especially to people in need, is to him...and his sacrificial show of love. Yup I cried. Plus, I loved the pace of The Lacemaker...it clipped along so nicely, kept me turning page after page, and yet, it never rushed. Loved the history, loved the emotion, loved the whole thing!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Writing Desk; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Hauck Page; Review: Love love love love love! Honestly, it's rare that I read a split time book and like both the historical and contemporary storylines equally...usually I end up loving the historical story so much more. But this time, I'm so happy to say I adored both! And the way both storylines are woven together near the end...ahhhh, so good. Love the writing, love the characters...Birdie, especially! And I can't help loving the way Tenley's storyline so perfectly captured the not-so-glittery side of being a writer. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sons of Blackbird Mountain (A Blackbird Mountain Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Joanne Bischof Page; Review: Hold oncrazy amounts of gushing about to happen! So, full disclosure: I am a massive Joanne Bischof fan. Her Cadence of Grace series was so beautiful and surprising and put me in the mind of one of my classic faves, Christy. And her 2016 release, The Lady & the Lionheart, is one of my top five favorite books of all time. So I knew going into Sons of Blackbird Mountain that I was going to love it. I didn't realize how much Id love it. So much that I basically couldn't pick up another book for days afterward and decided to reread it a second time! It. Is. Gorgeous. Of all the things to love about this story (and there are many!), the thing I just cant get over is how fully and beautifully she places the reader inside Thors head. Thor is a complex character. He struggles with alcoholism and hes Deaf. Either one of these alone would make writing from his point of view a more complicated process than usualbut together, I think it could be incredibly difficult write a fully fleshed, non-caricature portrayal of his day-to-day life. But in Bischofs hands, its just effortless. And I love itI love him! (I honestly didn't think I could love a character as much or more than Charlie in The Lady & The Lionheart, but Thor gives him a run for his money!) I especially appreciated how Bischof handles the topic of alcoholism. I love that she doesnt skirt around itthat she shows it in a very real and very nuanced way. And truly, Im blown away by how layered so many of these characters are! Layered, lovable, incredibly complicatedgosh, Haakon especially. His dark streak contrasted with all the hurt and longing hes holding insidethese are the kind of characters I want to read about! Imperfect, struggling, and yearning for redemption. Thor, Aven, Haakon, Jorgan, Peter, all of them faceand in some cases, are the instigators ofhard, harsh things. But that makes the undercurrent of grace and hope all the weightier. It's all beautifully done. Altogether, this is a story packed with poignant moments, beautiful writing (yes, I realize Ive used the word beautiful like forty times in this review, but I cant help it!), and characters I still cant stop thinking about. The romance is perfection, the setting is vivid, and the plot is perfectly paced. I have nothing but the highest praise for Joanne Bischofs latestand Ill pretty much just be over here dying of impatience until the second in the series releases next year.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The DOG Island - Nintendo Wii; Brand: by
Ubisoft; Review: Okay, I'm 15 and seriously enjoyed it. It was bleh saving, but it was really fun. I hated fishing though, nothing ever went my way. HIGHLY recommend it. My friend bought it when she heard I had it and said she really liked it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Muramasa; Brand: by
Ignition Entertainment; Review: I really enjoyed the music, scenery, story, characters, and "repetitive" fighting (as many say) and would highly recommend it for this price!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Arc Rise Fantasia - Nintendo Wii; Brand: by
Ignition Entertainment; Review: I really like this game, and although scenery and such is slightly "repetitive" and the voice acting terrible (to bad you can't turn off voices and they never shut up) the gameplay and storyline are incredible. I would give it four and a half stars* or four stars*.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon - Nintendo Wii; Brand: by
Xseed; Review: 5 out of 5. This was simply amazing; I enjoyed every aspect. Even the "crappy" fighting. This is probably the best game I have ever bought, highly recommended. The scenery and gameplay/fighting was all awesome, loved the touching story items and stories behind characters.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pokemon, Silver Version; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: (15 year old girl) I would recommend this game to anyone! This had some of the best pokemon and storyline! Now, the moves are little restricted however I still loved the game. This truly is the best game in the series and I have played it multiple times since I got it when I was 6 years old.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pokemon Sapphire Version - Game Boy Advance; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: This was my second favorite pokemon game and I have played it multiple times. I would recommend this to any pokemon fan! Loved the "new" pokemon for this version and a decent story line, especially if you add in a little of your own imagination!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: This was my first Pokemon Rangers game and I really had a lot of fun. It had so many things to do (missions and quests) and there was a fun variety. It took me awhile to complete and some of the battles were kinda hard. I had major trouble only on one "boss" battle though! I would totally tell anyone to get this. My favorite aspect was starting out as a school student, it brought up a new point of view as well as climbing ranks and moving through bases!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Legendary Starfy; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: I'm a 15 year old girl and I bought this game when I was 13 or 14 and had so much fun with it! Think of it as a slightly more soft core version of Mario and little bit easier. I enjoyed what it had to offer, especially at that price, the original starting price when I bought it was $25. My brother who is 3 years older played it after convincing and said it had its good points. A pretty good buy in my opinion for $15 now!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Pretty good game. It had some good new interesting features like going into the past however it doesn't quite match up to its past life. Still not bad.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Video_Games |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Exquisit Hotel; City: Munich Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: Stayed here for two nights - liked the location, close to the old town and a nice walk to get there. I wouldn't call the decor dated so much as having a kind of Bavarian feel - so lots of wood & quite dark. No air-conditioning in the rooms, and no top sheets, only quilts - so sleeping was a little uncomfortable as the room was quite warm. Breakfast was pretty standard buffet fare - nothing exceptional - and we were only offered eggs on our second morning there. The reception attendant when we arrived was lovely & friendly but the rest weren't overly warm. Not sure I'd stay here again, especially for the price. Nothing exceptional here.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Auteuil Manotel Geneva; City: Geneva; Review: Perfect location if you're travelling by train, very friendly staff, great room. Small lift, but I've certainly been in smaller ones! Great range of cuisines nearby, close to the Manor department store & a nice walk to the lake & across. Well priced too, for Switzerland. Definitely recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Parc Plaza; City: Luxembourg City; Review: Interesting combination of good & not-so-good. The room was a little different to your standard hotel beige - coloured walls, which I liked. Separate toilet to the bathroom which is great, but then the bathroom had no door. There was no bar fridge, or coffee making facility in the room which you kind of take for granted in a hotel room, although you can make coffee in the lobby until 11pm.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Les Rives de la Fecht; City: Ingersheim Haut Rhin Grand Est; Review: It's difficult to rate this place ... for the price (I got a deal for 72€ for the night - one bedroom unit), it was great. Well appointed for a longer stay with a kitchenette, dining table, terrace, separate bedroom. But it was just so tiny - not even anywhere to put a suitcase. Still great value for money though.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel am Park; City: Leinfelden Echterdingen Baden Wurttemberg; Review: Stayed here for one night and absolutely loved it. Definitely the coolest decor of any hotel room I've stayed in. Huge shower! Excellent breakfast buffet (made to order omelette was delicious) and the staff in the restaurant were very friendly. We got to watch a beautiful sunset on the rooftop terrace (of the wellness spa), and also a steam bath & sauna. Everything spotlessly clean, but not clinical - it still felt very welcoming. I'd most definitely stay here again next time I'm in Stuttgart.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Generator London; City: London England; Review: The Generator is in a fantastic location - got there from Heathrow in one train on the Tube, and is within walking distance of at least two other stations (one being Kings Cross/St Pancras). The public spaces are very cool with a great vibe. The bathrooms were clean enough, but one of the toilet seats was coming off (2nd floor women's) and the shower area could really do with somewhere to put your stuff - one hook outside the cubicle just isn't enough. My room was clean, but very cramped (hut my head many times on the upper bunk, and I'm not exactly tall!) but I expected that from a hostel. The biggest disappointment was the staff. They were all (with the exception of one barman - shaved head) lacking in any kind of warmth, friendliness or just general niceness. I don't know if they aren't well paid or they just hate their jobs (or hate tourists) but it made me avoid interacting with any of them. I know it's a hostel, not the Hilton, but a smile goes a very long way in the hospitality industry.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Park Consul; City: Esslingen am Neckar Baden Wurttemberg; Review: We stayed here last night while we were in town for the Christmas Markets. A great location for the market and the suite was a really good size. Beautiful lobby/bar area. Downsides: very limited parking available. The worst creme brûlée I've ever eaten in my life - actually, it was inedible. The lights in the suite - although the bedroom & living room were able to be separated by a curtain, one light switch controlled both lights. So it was either all on or all off which is pretty silly.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Corinthia Hotel Budapest; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: I have just wrapped up a two-night stay here with five friends. This is, without a doubt, the best hotel experience of my life. The staff have been so friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. The Sunday brunch was wonderful, and the little orchestra/band was brilliant - so fun and entertaining. It really capped off a perfect weekend. I would not hesitate in recommending this wonderful hotel, and I'm already wondering when I can come back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ACHAT Plaza Karlsruhe; City: Karlsruhe Baden Wurttemberg; Review: I stayed here before, when this was a Renaissance hotel and loved it. Now, it just feels very lacklustre. The wifi is terrible, and the buffet breakfast wasn't great - somehow everything on offer was tasteless. I wouldn't go back - it has definitely gone downhill.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sejours Affaires Clairmarais Reims; City: Reims Marne Grand Est; Review: We stayed here for one night last month, and I would definitely recommend it. Great size for a family of three, very clean and friendly and helpful desk staff. Close to a fantastic (and cheap!) little Italian restaurant. It may not be in the most picturesque area, but for the price it can't be beaten.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
Given the interaction history of a user with books as follows:
Title: Desserts 4 Today: Flavorful Desserts with Just Four Ingredients; Author: Visit Amazon's Abigail Johnson Dodge Page; Review: It's an awesome idea. Recipes with only 4 ingredients. Most of which I had already around the house. Thankfully I got this book from the library, so I didn't spend any money on. (Always good to test the waters before you jump in) I tried several recipes. The only one that worked well for me was the Nutella Brownies which I found a website, which led me to this book. Great idea, poorly executed.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Complete Calvin and Hobbes [Box Set]; Author: Visit Amazon's Bill Watterson Page; Review: I bought this for my fiance for Christmas, and he absolutely loves it. The box isn't as nice as I had hoped, but otherwise, this is wonderful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: An A-Z Guide to Food Additives: Never Eat What You Can't Pronounce; Author: Deanna M Minich PhD CN; Review: I use this book all the time. It's a great size, too. I throw it in my purse before going to the store frequently.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Diet Rehab: 28 Days To Finally Stop Craving the Foods That Make You Fat; Author: Visit Amazon's Mike Dow Page; Review: This book is most definitely worth reading. It has a lot of great information. It is a welcome addition to my bookshelf.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Happiness Diet: A Nutritional Prescription for a Sharp Brain, Balanced Mood, and Lean, Energized Body; Author: Visit Amazon's Tyler G. Graham Page; Review: I love this book.

Title: The Overfed Head: What If Everything You Know About Weight Loss Is Wrong?; Author: Visit Amazon's Rob Stevens Page; Review: This is a good book. I read through it quickly, and enjoyed it. I want peace with my eating habits, and reading this helped me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Year of No Sugar: A Memoir; Author: Eve Schaub; Review: When I started reading this I thought I would really enjoy it. I wanted to enjoy it. I quickly read the first few chapters. It was not long before I started getting ridiculously bored and skipping parts waiting for something interesting to come up.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Diet Cure: The 8-Step Program to Rebalance Your Body Chemistry and End Food Cravings, Weight; Author: Julia Ross; Review: This didn't work for me at all. I had high hopes, but this fell short. Plus, getting all the supplements is EXPENSIVE, which would be worth it to me if it worked, but it didn't.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Alice in Zombieland; Author: Visit Amazon's Gena Showalter Page; Review: I love this book! I highly recommend this book. After you read it and love it read the second one!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Through the Zombie Glass (White Rabbit Chronicles); Author: Visit Amazon's Gena Showalter Page; Review: I love this series. The books are fantastic. In the beginning I was worried I wouldn't like this one as much as the first, but it pulled through. Can't wait for the next one!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: 100 Days of Weight Loss; Author: Visit Amazon's Linda Spangle Page; Review: Good for a few days, then really was not helpful. You're better off just committing to journaling on a daily basis.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Art of Star Wars Comics: 100 Collectible Postcards; Author: Lucasfilm LTD.; Review: I got these for my fiance. We are using them for our wedding. He loves it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Thin's Woman Brain: Rewiring the Brain for Permanent Weight Loss; Author: Visit Amazon's Dilia Suriel Page; Review: Informative. A good read. I would recommend this. It makes you view things from a different perspective, and makes you feel like you are not alone, which you are not!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Friends with the Scale: How to Turn Your Scale Into a Powerful Weight Loss Tool; Author: Visit Amazon's Linda Spangle Page; Review: This was a good book. I enjoyed it. It made me rethink the way I feel about the scale.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: I Deserve a Donut (And Other Lies That Make You Eat): A Christian Weight Loss Resource; Author: Visit Amazon's Barb Raveling Page; Review: I did not care for this at all. Very repetitive, and I did not like the Christian aspect of it. I thought I would, but this book did not benefit me in any way. I felt no different after reading it.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Thoughtless; Author: Visit Amazon's S.C. Stephens Page; Review: This book kept me quite interested for the most part, but towards the ended I started to dislike the characters. I was not sure how to feel about them. It's a great story until the main character keeps being horrible about the situation. I started to get fed up with her!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Therapy; Author: Visit Amazon's Kathryn Perez Page; Review: Depressing. Not enjoyable. Not relatable.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Art of Toy Story: 100 Collectible Postcards; Author: Unnamed Anonymous; Review: How could you not love this product?! Great artwork. This will put a smile on your face. I am using them as my guest book for my wedding. So excited.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jessica's Journal: A Book of Poetry, Companion to THERAPY; Author: Visit Amazon's Kathryn Perez Page; Review: Not my cup of tea. i was really hoping to like this, but I could not find one poem that I enjoyed. I was hoping to relate to this, but I definitely did not .; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The EveryGirl's Guide to Diet and Fitness: How I Lost 40 lbs and Kept It Off-And How You Can; Author: Visit Amazon's Maria Menounos Page; Review: I bought this book at Target because it was on sale, and returned it shortly after. I had it on hold on the library. I should have just stuck with picking it up there. I usually like to check it out at the library first to see if it's actually worth adding to the bookshelf. Definitely go that route! Like others have said this book is extremely repetitive. I appreciate her non-diet approach, but this book is nothing exciting. It's nice to read how normal she is, and how far she's come. The thing I liked most about this book was that she says she's still careful with finances because hollywood has a short shelf life. I absolutely respected that, but she talks too much about things that are just not relevant.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat: How to Break Your Eat-Repent-Repeat Cycle; Author: Michelle May; Review: I support anything that shows us the importance of having a healthy relationship with food. We have to change the way we think about food, and not let it control us.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DIY Protein Bars Cookbook: Easy, Healthy, Homemade No-Bake Treats That Taste Like; Author: Visit Amazon's Jessica Stier Page; Review: Misleading as far as options and variety go. There are a lot of repeats! It's basically just multiple versions of the same recipe. The book Power Hungry has a main recipe and then many variations of the same one on the same page. If this book did that it would be just a few pages long.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: May Cause Miracles: A 40-Day Guidebook of Subtle Shifts for Radical Change and Unlimited Happiness; Author: Visit Amazon's Gabrielle Bernstein Page; Review: If you're not sure which Gabrielle Bernstein book to read first... this is it!! I LOVE that this book takes it one day at a time. This book will change your life. It is a game changer. I still have a lot of work to do on changing my mindset. I could see how this wouldn't be as mind blowing for somebody further along in their journey. If you are looking to let light into your life this book will do that for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Desire Map Planner - Daily Edition 2017 (Limited Edition); Author: Visit Amazon's Danielle LaPorte Page; Review: This is a great planner. Mine, however, was flawed. I contacted Danielle LaPorte's website and I was told that they are not the providers for Amazon.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: This is About You: Amazing, Weird, Beautiful You; Author: Visit Amazon's Mary England Page; Review: This is a beautiful book. Mary is an inspiration. Everything you need to make positive changes in your life is in this book. You don't have to be your own worst enemy. You CAN be a friend to yourself.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: You Have 4 Minutes to Change Your Life: Simple 4-Minute Meditations for Inspiration, Transformation, and True Bliss; Author: Visit Amazon's Rebekah Borucki Page; Review: There is something for everyone in the book!

Title: The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss & Body Confidence: A Woman's Guide to Stressing Less, Weighing; Author: Visit Amazon's Jessica Ortner Page; Review: It took me a bit to get into tapping, but it truly is amazing.
