Title: The Hotel Donaldson; City: Fargo North Dakota; Review: I've stayed at the Radisson in Fargo, but now that I've found The Donaldson, I won't be staying anywhere else! It's modern without being cold. It's homey without being kitchy. It's comfortable because it could be my own home. The people are friendly without fawning & competent without being cold. The ONLY drawback I could find was the lack of covered parking. I was there in May when it wasn't much of an issue, but I'm not sure how it will be in the winter -- wheeling luggage through ice & slush. It's a marvelous little hotel with all the amenities. Once you stay at The Donaldson, you'll be disappointed in most every place else.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn Suites; City: Detroit Lakes Minnesota; Review: This motel is large, mostly clean, but very old. That translates to 'it smells of cigarette smoke that they've attempted to cover with Fabeeze'. Our entire floor was labeled non-smoking, but the whole floor reeked. I had to wash everything we had along regardless of whether it was dirty or not because of the smell. To the hotel's credit, when I filled out their survey, I got a letter from the owner/manager with a $20.00 credit for our next stay at any Best Western. Thing is, the only reason we stayed at this one was because it was the only room in a northern MN resort town in July. We generally avoid Best Westerns because they tend to be old and pretty tired.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Detroit Lakes Lakefront; City: Detroit Lakes Minnesota; Review: This hotel used to be old & tired -- no more! The remodel is beautiful. We stayed during the off-season, so the room rate was the best in town. It's beautifully re-modeled, & the morning restaurant wait-staff very friendly, yet professional. We had the bad luck for our evening meal to get a newby waitress who was not at all good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Bloomington Airport; City: Bloomington Minnesota; Review: This hotel review on TripAdvisor made us choose the Super 8 in Bloomington -- one night on our way to northern MN & one night home to TX. It has made my husband & me question the accuracy of TripAdvisor's ratings. It's definitely affordable, but also, definitely old & tired. We did not partake of the breakfast buffet, so cannot speak to it. Our room (king, NS) was clean, but 'tired'. We availed ourselves of none of the motel's other amenities. If all your criteria are based on price, this is the place to stay in Bloomington, MN. For a longer than one night stay, choose a better hotel.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Kansas City Liberty; City: Kansas City Missouri; Review: What a pleasant surprise on our road trip to Minnesota & North Dakota for our Christmas Holidays! We've stayed in much more expensive hotels that weren't as luxe as this hotel. Friendly & competent staff, beautiful finishes, great amenities, wonderfully comfortable bed -- linens & pillows, too -- quiet for great sleeping. I'd recommend this hotel in a heartbeat & will make it a point to stay here any time I'm anywhere near Kansas City.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cibolo Creek Ranch; City: Marfa Texas; Review: If you want to 'commune with nature', this is your place! No cell phone service, Internet available only in the office, great home cooking, beautifully done rooms in an upscale ranch style, the friendliest staff you'll find anywhere, and history to boot! They have their own airstrip, so fly yourself in. No fuel on site, but not a problem, because you can easily get to a strip with fuel on the way or when you leave. Didn't use the pool or spa on sight, so can't speak to those services. On the pricey side, but worth every penny for this lovely, quiet retreat. My husband & I were only able to spend one night awhile back, but wouldn't hesitate to go again for a longer stay. Again, worth every penny for a wonderful place where time shifts . . . A couple of days, & you'll feel like you've had a week's vacation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Amarillo Downtown; City: Amarillo Texas; Review: My husband & I spent just one night here a couple of days ago. This is a great Marriott Courtyard. Not to be mistaken for a Four Seasons, but really nice, just the same. Great bed, feather or down pillows, quiet heating/cooling that doesn't just make noise while it blows on you all night, soft water in the bathroom, nice shampoo & lotion, etc, etc, etc. Easy, free ramp parking (unusual for a downtown hotel). Well done lobby & extremely pleasant front desk folks. Not a free breakfast, but good Starbuck's fare, and, again, very eager-to-please staff. All in all, someplace I'd stay again the next time I'm traveling through Amarillo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Billings; City: Billings Montana; Review: I can only give this one 2 stars. The bed we (tried) to sleep on for 4 days should have been replaced last year. I understand that Fairfields are the bottom of the Marriott chain, but beds with edges so worn out that you slide off when you sit down are -majorly- over-the-hill & need to be replaced. Everything else about the motel was OK -- but just OK -- nothing outstanding. For the price I expected more.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Austin NE Hutto; City: Hutto Texas; Review: Nothing bad, nothing special. Room seemed clean. I liked that the bathrooms offered a nice big shower instead of a shallow tub. Bed had seen better days -- pretty soft, and I like a firm bed. Hotel mostly empty, and we were given the room directly next to the elevator, so heard everyone that came off the elevator drunk all night long.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Springdale; City: Springdale Arkansas; Review: Good rate thru Summit Aviation - the FBO at Springdale Municipal Airport. Nice hotel. Good buffet breakfast (including omelets & waffles made-to-order) available but not included, which I appreciate. Bathroom newly and completely refurbished -- very nice. Marble counters, bathtub drained well, great shower head. Wish the water was a little softer & that either an exhaust fan or heated mirror was available to be able to use keep the mirror de-fogged when shower is in use. Housekeeping kept room & all public areas scrupulously clean - also appreciated. Our room was on the 2nd of 4 floors, & though some noises could be heard above us, it was minimal. We'll definitely stay here again whenever we're back this way.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Hotel Amsterdam; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: I thought their Blu hotels would be a step above . . . my mistake. Feels like all their emphasis is on the public space -- not their rooms. Snippy, unfriendly front desk man. Room not cleaned after a 3+ hour absence. Lobby cafe picky about who & when they'll seat. Room dark & over-priced. Can't recommend -- too many other hotels in Amsterdam --pass this one over.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: La Quinta Inn Suites Tomball; City: Tomball Texas; Review: My most unsatisfying hotel stay in years. Asked for room on third floor -- wasn't told that half of the floor was torn up for renovation. Tried a room on the second. The hotel has been remodeled in parts but it suffers a common problem of old properties in this part of the country -- very poor humidity control. There were de-humidifiers in all the public spaces and the A/C units were set on "frozen" in order to keep the damp smell of mildew at bay -- to no avail. I chose this hotel as others in the area were full and I had to extend my stay. I needed to do laundry but the detergent dispensing machine was out of order, so I had to make a trip and buy my own. Then one of the washing machines broke down mid-cycle, leaving my clothes in a tub full of water. Even after wringing them out by hand and two dryer cycles, they were still not dry. This morning I discovered there was no shampoo in the room. The bed was way too soft for my tastes. A comedy of errors that a better managed property wouldn't inflict on its guests. I would move to another hotel but I prepaid for two nights through a travel website.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hotel Riad Omar; City: Marrakech Marrakech Tensift El Haouz Region; Review: I called to book a single room for tzo nights. Being the 30th of december I was concerned about finding a room. They told me they had a room for two nights and that they would keep my reservation until late considering I was arriving at 10 PM from Essaouira. I insited on making sure they'd keep the reservation even though they did not ask me for a credit card number and was assured there would be no problem. I got to the riad and was told they had no reservation for me because I hadn't confirmed it (or so the person on duty in the ,orning told the one on duty in the evening). Hence I had no where to stay on on of the busiest nights in Marrakech. The converige at Riad Omar told me to follow a guy who would lead me to a good place to stay. After the third riad he enquired at (with me following him in the rain dragging my suitcase around) he disappeared. Found a room at a less than pleasant little hotel. May be fine for a 20 year old backpacker but not quite for a middle aged man.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Carlton Hotel Tunis; City: Tunis Tunis Governorate; Review: Great location on the main drag of the French town, ten minutes walk from the medina and about ten minutes cab drive from the airport. It was the only hotel I stayed at in Tunis but it was definitely the best one I stayed at in Tunisia (stayed in three or different places) that was not part of a resort. Taxi fare to and from the airport wasn't more than 6 dinahrs. I arrived on Saturday afternoon and the taxi fare from the Airport to the hotel was under 4 dinahrs. Make sure they switch the tasi metre on (no problem with taxis back and forth from the airport but taxi drivers may not switch it on going other parts of town). Hotel was very much like a basic hotel for business travellers with the basic expected ammenities. The bathroom was a bit smelly the first night I spend there. The bathtub curtain smelled mouldy. I came back to the same room five days later and there was no smell. Buffet breakfast was OK. I guess it was a bit affected by Ramaddan. I booked the first night through CentralIR.com and the date was approximately £24 (or US$48) at the time. When I came back a few days later I called them directly and they gave me the same room at the same discounted rate. List price is much higher.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sacred Valley Inn Pokhara; City: Pokhara Gandaki Zone Western Region; Review: An excellent service, most comfortable bed, delicious and perfectly cooked omelettes in the morning, and friendly and helpful staff. I arrived in Pokhara rather unwell and was happily surprised to find a very spacious room with very comfortable bed and lots of warm and clean blankets. A very hot shower at all ours of the day. The room was very bright, with llots of natural light (nothing unusual in Nepal, though) a great balcony with a view of the HImalayas. The terrace had great views and a fantastic place to have breakfast. The staff at reception were extremely helpful, sorting out all my travel requirements and giving useful advise for local adventures/sightseeing. Most recommendable!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Stockholm Hotel; City: Stockholm; Review: Fantastic location just five minute walk from the central station (for when one arrives by the Arlanda Express as well). Great service, nice rooms and easy walk into Gamla Stan and other neighbourhoods in central Stockholm.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Damrak Inn Hotel Amsterdam; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: I know it's IBC week and that this hotel was booked through the travel agency that serves the company I work for but it's hardly worth €400 a night (no breakfast ). The fan I'm the bathroom is left on all day long by the cleaning service to "extract" the sewage smell that linnets in the bathroom and room. And the window sill full of coaster buts is pretty disgusting as well. I suppose it's IBC and begin on Damrak , to me the ugliest part of Amsterdam.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Sercotel Alfonso VI; City: Toledo Province of Toledo Castile La Mancha; Review: Lovely small room, albeit basic. I believe they are renovating and upgrading the rooms . The hotel claims to be 4stars, but the room I stayed at is not. I was asked upon leaving if I consumed anything from the minibar. I didn't have one in my room (front desk person realised my room hadn't been fitted yet with it). Bed was very comfortable, place was clean, lots of interesting lounges once one explores the hotel, since lobby is very basic. Helpful staff. I'd come back.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Known (A Bone Secrets Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Kendra Elliot Page; Review: Basic bone secret story. A little 'talky' , story plot OK. Did miss one set of characters from previous books. What happened to them? A fair read, to spend some time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blood on the Tracks (Sydney Rose Parnell); Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara Nickless Page; Review: A view from a woman veteran. Most never realize that woman women are in combat, or in related hands on martial situations. This vet was in a branch most of us are unaware of, or somehow NEVER consider. A good blended mystery.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Mystery at Underwood House (An Angela Marchmont Mystery Book 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Clara Benson Page; Review: I picture JB Fletcher while reading these books. The only difference is the old English mannerisms and 'class' treatment. Readable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Maids of Misfortune: A Victorian San Francisco Mystery; Author: Visit Amazon's M. Louisa Locke Page; Review: Enjoyable, story locale informative of the times. A lite read. Not to complex, keeps you guessing a little. Capable women for the times.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Shadow at Greystone Chase (An Angela Marchmont Mystery) (Volume 10); Author: Visit Amazon's Clara Benson Page; Review: This the best by far. Am really wanting to read next story. Will really have to have a plot to top this inventive and grabber story of this one!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Backroad; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Abbott Page; Review: To me, a convoluted story. Quite a few characters to unravel. Story fine, but one aggravating character. Really to me not my usual easy read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Nowhere Child: A Short Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Abbott Page; Review: So much constant rehashing of previous book. Seems as if this book is a 'make do' book. Something to fulfill a contract. So many words to meet requirements of a contract. Story not as complicated, just long and drawn out. Simple ending, considering such a long story line.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Kill Me Again; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Abbott Page; Review: A very looong read and rather convoluted. Not a fast read. For me to much introspection, to much psychological thinking. Not my kind of mystery enjoyment.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Practice House; Author: Visit Amazon's Laura McNeal Page; Review: A book of someone living and learning life. Friendships, family, high and lows that all encounter through every day confrontations.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Night Girl; Author: Visit Amazon's Amy Cross Page; Review: Not an enjoyable book for me. To confusing overly long. Not an easy read, when wanting a simple mystery. Disappointing.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Quiet Life in the Country (A Lady Hardcastle Mystery); Author: Visit Amazon's T E Kinsey Page; Review: Just a good book for an afternoon or evening read. Not convoluted, just a homey feeling with a little story. Like old friends having A 'lark'. I also think I am becoming a 'tea drinker'.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Astors; Author: Visit Amazon's Virginia Cowles Page; Review: Interesting, staggering to read of this lifestyle. Same names make for a confusing read. Must keep remembering this was once upon a time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bed, Breakfast & Bones: A Ravenwood Cove Mystery (Ravenwood Cove Mysteries) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Carolyn L. Dean Page; Review: An easy read, but missing something for me. Maybe as this is a first try, was expecting more. Will read a few more, to see if time helps this series. I feel this book was laying the 'ground work' for this series. Meat loaf without the meat. Keep trying; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dune, Dock and a Dead Man: A Ravenwood Cove Cozy Mystery (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Carolyn L. Dean Page; Review: This an improvement from previous book. More like an easy read should be. Maybe to much previous book recap. But a nice easy read, more mystery in this story. But to much goody goody with books main character.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Romanovs; Author: Visit Amazon's Virginia Cowles Page; Review: A sad story of a family. Did not really have a great foundarion , just flowing on with time. Was interesting to read of it's progress. A dynasty with no goal.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mistletoe, Moonlight, and Murder (Ravenwood Cove Cozy Mystery) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Carolyn L. Dean Page; Review: A VERY easy read. Minimal suspence in a few places. Slowly building up a familiarity with this town and its residents . Enough to wonder whose secret reveal is next.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: SEA, SKY and SKELETON: A Ravenwood Cove Cozy Mystery (Ravenwood Cove Cozy Mysteries) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Carolyn L. Dean Page; Review: Amanda again, who would want her karma? A very easy read, a few, maybe questionable story holes. Got to remember it's Amanda, Gotta Love Her. So let's keep reading; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Rothschilds; Author: Visit Amazon's Virginia Cowles Page; Review: A prolific family. Very patient and persistent, also if understanding far seeing. Book somewhat hard to understand in parts if not a person knowledge in politics and especially finance. Interesting personal family history.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Bastard Princess (Elizabeth of England Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's G. Lawrence Page; Review: Basic Tudor story. OK read. For me the story has to much repetitive dialogue on quite a few of the story points. Feels like the writer is trying to fill a word quota.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cor Rotto: A novel of Catherine Carey; Author: Visit Amazon's Adrienne Dillard Page; Review: In both story and imagination and use of history. This book really held my interest for some reason. Felt as an outsider looking in. Also a VERY interesting look at the lifestyle of the times. Being Royal and or High Born was really a hard, frightening, scheming and 'pandering' ( for lack of a least ugly word) to the person in POWER. Really a time of 'lives not their own'. Catherine Carey was definitely a woman of her time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Catherine Carey in a Nutshell; Author: Visit Amazon's Adrienne Dillard Page; Review: Wondering what the above is all about? The best way to describe what this lady had to endure as her life. A MOST enjoyable read!! The telling of the life style of TUDOR living, the care of royalty. The expected and demanded duties of all women, high and low. A very 'makes you think' book; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Raven's Widow: A novel of Jane Boleyn; Author: Visit Amazon's Adrienne Dillard Page; Review: Very imaginative. Have to keep in mind this is a fictionalized presentation. History presents very little clear facts of this woman. Ms Dillard does well with the little piece of history she had to work with.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Case of Murder in Mayfair (A Freddy Pilkington-Soames Adventure) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Clara Benson Page; Review: Very 'lite fast read'. Reminiscent of The Thin Man, The Saint, Boston Blackie etc. A plot with plentiful suspects, a aggravating contemporary, some humor. All in all, for me enjoyable. A good companion to Miss Marcmont.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Loose Lips; Author: Visit Amazon's Rita Mae Brown Page; Review: Important to read all 3 books in order. To me an engrossing story line, of a quirky town and it's people. Not Mayberry, but a town of the past, from the viewpoint of a young person of the times. Enjoy; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Murder at Seething Wells (The Ralph Chalmers Mysteries Book 5) eBook; Author: Visit Amazon's PJ Thurbin Page; Review: Fairly easy plot not to confusing. Just my CUP Of TEA. Pun intended. Reminiscent of a Nick and Nora format. Enjoyable. These British enjoy their tea, with a little bit of SMUG, for lack of a better word. On to another adventure.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Beautiful Poison; Author: Visit Amazon's Lydia Kang Page; Review: A surprising read, unusual beginning. A bleak and disturbing visit of the past. Quite a lot of introspection. A very unusual plot, revelations very surprising. Should really enjoy this read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Haunting Charlie: Witches of Palmetto Point; Author: Visit Amazon's Wendy Wang Page; Review: A fast read, but it does hold attention. Maybe because the story line has a family vibe and a reasonably interesting story line. Needs maybe a little more filler, but not bad.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Two Tocks before Midnight: A 19th Century Historical Murder Mystery (The Agora Mystery Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Clay Boutwell Page; Review: Reminiscent of A C Doyle. Into reading this, familiarity hit home. Did enjoy, but was a little convoluted. Still worth the time reading.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Boat Man: A Thriller; Author: Visit Amazon's Dustin Stevens Page; Review: Unexpected police story. A surprise in the 'partner' choice, but so very smart! Made a very different perspective of a police team. Good story line, makes for a hard to put down book. Really like chapter format. A read for mystery/ detective readers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with products as follows:
Title: Nautica Men's Long Sleeve Lightweight Cotton Woven Robe; Brand: ; Review: I was looking for a lightweight robe to use in the middle of the night when I check on my kids. I live in Texas so a heave robe is overkill. The robe fits fine, but my only problem with the robe is the tie. It doesn't stay tied unless you use a shoelace type knot. I prefer to use a slip know and the fabric is so smooth that a loose slip knot doesn't hold. It's an okay robe, just not perfect.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: ExOfficio Give-n-go Boxer Brief; Brand: ExOfficio; Review: Best boxers out there. They cost a little more than my Costco multi packs but they're worth it. Light, comfortable, and constantly dry. Zero chaffing in the Texas heat. The waistband doesn't fold over on me or anything. They are all I buy now.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Stainless Steel Watch with Day/Date display, BM8180-03E; Brand: Citizen; Review: Great solar watch. Probably my fourth eco-drive and probably the least expensive of the group. All have been excellent and durable. The canvas strap has huge metal holes which may not lead to the perfect fit, but the canvas is thick enough to hold the watch in the intended position even if it is a little loose. The green looks good and is comfortable for a daily use. No pulled hairs like some of the metal bands.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seiko Men's SNK805 Seiko 5 Automatic Stainless Steel Watch with Green Canvas; Brand: Seiko; Review: It is a great watch that does what is expected. I never have to buy a battery, but I just don't like having to wear it every day to keep it wound. I could get an autowinder or I could get a solar....I'm going solar.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dickies Generation Flex Men's Youtility Scrub Pant; Brand: ; Review: I really like Dickies scrubs. I wore my last set weekly for three years. The Generation Flex Mens Youtility Scrub pants fit fine, but the pocket layout is not the same and I don't like it. The cargo pocket (where I used to keep my phone) is lower and now my phone swings back and forth when I walk and I have to bend over to reach it. Above the cargo pocket is a pocket that is too small to be useful at holding anything I use daily. Also, there is no zipper and the pant ties are thinner than my old dickies. I wear hunter green and these hunter green pants don't match my old hunter green scrubs, which means I have to buy tops to match.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dickies Generation Flex Men's Youtility Scrub Top; Brand: ; Review: I really like this top. I like the design of the top in that there are two waist pockets that are pretty much hidden. great for the phone and a small wallet, which is great because the matching pants have cargo pockets that are too low to be useful. The movement in the shoulders is great and allows freedom of movement. It is very comfortable while typing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carhartt Men's Relaxed Straight Denim Five Pocket Jean B460; Brand: ; Review: Quality jeans that just don't fit right. A little long and a little big in the butt. Should probably have tried in store somewhere.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Carhartt Men's Ripstop Utility Scrub Top; Brand: ; Review: I really like this top. It fits like it should and the pocket has an extra spot for my pen. I'd buy more if the pants fit right, but they seemed a little off so I'll probably keep looking for that perfect scrub set.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carhartt Men's Ripstop Men's Multi-cargo Scrub Pant; Brand: ; Review: These pants are pretty good. They are tighter across the crotch that I'd like otherwise it would be 5 stars. They seem well built and the pockets are in all the right places.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Reef Men's Fanning Sandal (13 D(M) US / 46 EUR, Black/Silver); Brand: ; Review: My new favorite flip flops. My previous flops were some Sanuks I got several years ago when I busted a flop. Those were good flops, not great. When I wasn't wearing those, I was wearing some Adidas sliders. These are better than either of those. With the heal support I think I could wear these all day. The first wear they felt a little snug, but by the end of the hour, they were just right. They have good grip on any surface. The key for me is that the tops don't annoyingly slick when wet. I really like these. While I was waiting for these to arrive, I tried numerous flops: Reef Phantoms (pretty good), Sperry Baitfish (really good), Teva Deckers (solid simple flops, comfortable, but not day long flops), Hari Mari Scout (not good), plus many others that were off as quickly as I put them on. Of all that I tried, most were $50 or less, these fannings were tops. I haven't tried Olukai, but these aren't in the same cla$$ as those.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casio Men's MTP-S100E-7BVCF Easy-to-Read Solar Stainless Steel Watch; Brand: Casio; Review: I really like this watch. I have two requirements on a watch: Solar + Stretch band. Check and Check. I have been wearing it daily for 4 months. Still looks great and works great. The stretch band is a little tight, but not annoying. Surprisingly, the band hasn't caught an arm hair yet.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Hamilton Beach TrueAir Plug Mount Odor Eliminator- 04531GM; Brand: Hamilton Beach; Review: So, firstly, I'll explain with this is: a small fan surrounded on three sides by spongey filters. It has absolutely zero effect on the air. Imagine those little fans that kids play with on summer days, that fit in your hand. That's the same size and power as this unit. No air is moved by it, no air is filtered. It's truly an error of a product. I'm not even mad, I'm totally blown away that a company made this and sold it to me. It's like I bought a pet rock. But, seriously, don't buy this. It has zero effect on the air.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Generic Bumper Pure Crystal Soft Gel TPU Skin Case Cover for Apple iPhone 4/4G - Non-Retail Packaging - Clear; Brand: Generic; Review: This clear case was exactly what I was looking for! It fit very nicely on my phone and doesn't take away from the great look of the Iphone. Unfortunately I made the mistake of trying to clean the inside of the case because it was pretty dusty. It would have been fine if I had just used a dry cloth but I used some cleaning wipes so now when I put it on my phone it makes funny little rainbows in between the phone and the case. Not a super huge deal because these were so cheap I just ended up buying a new one. Also make sure to wipe off any fingerprints from your phone before you put the case on because the case is a little hard to remove once it is on your phone. Other than that it is a great case! I will for sure be buying more if I need to!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: eForCity Mini Universal Phone Stand Holder - Retail Packaging - Clear; Brand: eForCity; Review: What can I say? This was pretty much exactly what I expected it to be.

There was a mix up with the shipping and I had received a different product instead of the one I had ordered but without me even having to contact the seller they quickly sent me an email explaining the mix up and didn't even want me to bother to sending the other item back, they just said that they were sending me a replacement phone stand right away.

Title: Shadow Rider; Author: Christine Feehan (author); Review: I always buy Christine Feehans books and I am rarely disappointed, if ever. I am sure she could write about the weather and it would be wonderful. Great start to a new series; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fire Bound (Sea Haven); Author: Visit Amazon's Christine Feehan Page; Review: Good book, not her absolute best but good, tied up some loose ends nicely, and gives some lead in for Blyth's story; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Food; Author: Visit Amazon's Kitty Thomas Page; Review: One of the strangest books I have ever read. That said it definitely made me spend a considerable amount of time thinking about how someone might react if they'd been put in that situation; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Allegiance of Honor (Psy-Changeling Novel, A); Author: Visit Amazon's Nalini Singh Page; Review: I have loved all of the psy-changeling novels, and as usual can't wait for the next one to come out; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dark Carousel ('Dark' Carpathian); Author: Visit Amazon's Christine Feehan Page; Review: I read all books by Christine feehan, and this book is good, that said it isn't one of her best. I loved the story but it didn't have her usual level of character development, especially in regard to teriq and Charlotte; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Wicked Fall (Wicked Horse) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Sawyer Bennett Page; Review: This book just needed better character development, too many of the main characters didn't seem real, wasn't sure about any of the underlying issues or what motivated them; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Depravity: A Beauty and the Beast Novel (Beastly Tales) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's M J Haag Page; Review: I really like this book, and while I don't really like cliff hangers, I am buying the second installment and likely the third.

Title: Silence Fallen (A Mercy Thompson Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Briggs Page; Review: I have loved mercy thompson, from the first book on. Patricia Briggs is a write-up managed to make her otherworldly characters both human and flawed as well as supernatural.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: mDesign Decorative Over Door 4 Hanging Hooks, Steel Storage Organizer Rack for Coats, Hoodies, Hats, Scarves, Purses,; Brand: mDesign; Review: glad this comes in white as it matches my closet door and doesn't stand out.

Title: Clever Billy: And Other Freaky, Funny Limericks; Author: Visit Amazon's W. W. Rowe Page; Review: Because it's been years since I've read limericks, I'd forgotten how funny they can be. And these ones are witty and chuckle-inducing indeed! The subtitle of the book--freaky, funny limericks--describes them perfectly...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: My Father's Guru: A Journey Through Spirituality and Disillusion; Author: J. Moussaieff Masson; Review: Although the author sets out to debunk his father's guru, PB, he fails to make a good argument for de-bunking. The extraordinariness of the man comes through anyway. The book reads like the kind of conglomerate of interpretation and misinterpretation that people write when they're trying to work out their childhood father complexes.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Apprenticed To Spirit: The Education of a Soul; Author: Visit Amazon's David Spangler Page; Review: Ordinarily I'm skeptical of a lot that's written about the subtle worlds, because it's clear that the authors of those books do not have a framework in which to place their very subjective observations. Spangler, on the other hand, provides a clear framework, and a guide as to the subjective and objective components of subtle world experiences. what results is an informative and inspiring account of this world seen as the outer face of the Divine, so to speak.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Twelve Tribes of Hattie; Author: Visit Amazon's Ayana Mathis Page; Review: Though I found the title off-putting, I dutifully waded into this book, expecting it to yield something deep. It yielded nothing: one short character episode after another, without resolution or any real point.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Dinner; Author: Visit Amazon's Herman Koch Page; Review: Initially intriguing, the book starts off well. In fact, it's reasonably well-written throughout. If you don't mind a one-way trip with throughly unpleasant people, who only get more unpleasant and who don't transform whatsoever, than possibly this book is for you. I expected another Gone,Girl--which I thought was mostly clever and entertaining. This book, however, is just grim.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Shake Off; Author: Visit Amazon's Mischa Hiller Page; Review: The mechanics and psychology of spycraft, embedded in a highly readable story, make this a fascinating read. Couldn't put it down! The ending was a little weak, but still the book, with its window into PLO thought, is still worth taking the time to write this review (!); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Goldfinch: A Novel (Pulitzer Prize for Fiction); Author: Visit Amazon's Donna Tartt Page; Review: I loved this book--for the first third. Then the plot seemed to loop endlessly before veering off into some ridiculous shenanigans that looked like a script for a Hollywood heist movie. Finally, the last pages evoked the tone and high quality of the beginning of ghe book; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Forgery of Venus: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Gruber Page; Review: An intelligent and gripping mystery that should appeal particularly to artists. Excellent writing. I couldn't put it down, and immediately went in search of more of his books.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jerry's Magic; Author: Visit Amazon's W. W. Rowe Page; Review: Jerry is a boy struggling to find himself and his place among peers--sound familiar? His father was killed in WWII and Jerry feels the responsibility to help his mother make ends meet. Many wonderful adventures are packed into this book. With the help of a special teacher, Jerry begins his journey to mastery of himself and his circumstances. This page turner is great fun--and delivers the message that inner capacities can be found and developed. in us all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Living with a Wild God: A Nonbeliever's Search for the Truth about Everything; Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara Ehrenreich Page; Review: The author is a spiritual seeker who denies she's a spiritual seeker. She's brilliant and , of course, she's Ehrenreich, which means she writes well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Purity: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Jonathan Franzen Page; Review: Interesting premise great start. But...yuck. Every character has a love hate relationship with their mothers, ad nauseum.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Old Age: A Beginner's Guide; Author: Michael Kinsley; Review: Appears to be essays strung together without proper editing, judging by the repetitions. Some of the essays are not about aging, and seem to be added as filler.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Accident; Author: Elie Wiesel; Review: Ultimately shallow, with cardboard characters and a plot that makes no real sense if you think about it after you're done.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Last Painting of Sara de Vos: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Dominic Smith Page; Review: Full of surprises--all of which feel uncontrived , organic to the psychologies of the main characters.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wolf's Message; Author: Visit Amazon's Suzanne Giesemann Page; Review: I ordinarily like books on this topic, but this was a pointless, breathless blow by blow account of one psychic's experience with a specific entity. Gave almost no real info on the afterlife.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Since We Fell CD: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Dennis Lehane Page; Review: A fun read but the story is so far-fetched that I can't in good conscience give it more than 2 stars.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: You Don't Look Your Age...and Other Fairy Tales; Author: Visit Amazon's Sheila Nevins Page; Review: Only partly about aging. The rest is slightly self-congratulatory stories with the subtext that she was very sexy, pretty, successful etc etc .; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Broker; Author: Visit Amazon's John Grisham Page; Review: Initially gripping, but quickly gets bogged down in pages devoted to learning Italian vocabulary--totally unnecessary to the story--used by the author as fill to fatten up his page count. I gave up slogging through this continuing lesson...; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body; Author: Visit Amazon's Roxane Gay Page; Review: The promising beginning goes...nowhere. Repetition, endless expressions of resentment--that's about it.

Title: A Confederacy of Dunces; Author: John Kennedy Toole; Genres: fiction; Review: If you enjoyed Beckett's Waiting for Godot, then you would enjoy this novel. The characters are wholly unlikeable which seems to be Toole's point.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board; Author: Bethany Hamilton; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction; Review: Written by her so it's a great book for younger adults to read.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Olive Kitteridge; Author: Elizabeth Strout; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: So I see what everyone was saying about this book. It is depressing in the want to shake the character and make her realize what everyone else sees. The subplots often became my favorite, perhaps because they were often of younger characters. I would recommend reading this in various sittings, putting it aside after a moment to read something else, then returning to the world of Crosby, Maine and Olive.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Friday Night Knitting Club (Friday Night Knitting Club, #1); Author: Kate Jacobs; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: The story uses too many trite concepts crammed into one chick lit book. Estranged father, Scottish grandmother, single mother, illness, adultery, rediscovery. Kate Jacobs could learn a bit about simplicity when it comes to knitting a tale.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Life; Author: Keith Richards; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction; Review: Oh my gosh, I finished! Seriously, I had no love for the Stones, really no knowledge of them, prior to this text. I rated the book well because the depth and breadth of likable storytelling, as well as the deference to music, subculture, and daily living made this tome worthwhile. Keith Richards is charming, rambling, and honest, which gave the book merit where I felt merit was due.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Girl with a Pearl Earring; Author: Tracy Chevalier; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: I have put off reading this book for years as I had not really cared for the title painting. However after reading this story I find myself having a greater appreciation for the painting. Pieter the father and van Leeuwenhoek were my favorite characters.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Visit from the Goon Squad; Author: Jennifer Egan; Genres: fiction; Review: I thoroughly enjoy books that provide me something new, whether the story or characters intrigue me or not. Egan manages to transform her writing with each character and event, minuscule or massive. Like all stories I have my favorites, and I agree with Tamsen that the PowerPoint t chapter was stellar- genius in my opinion. Worth the read if only to experience the verge of a newer genre of fiction- one that seems prevalent in recent Pulitzer picks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet; Author: Jamie Ford; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: This story is an oft-told story about unrequited love... What pushed me from liked to really liked this book was the historical fiction aspects of the book. I enjoyed this story told from the point in history of Japanese internment, as well as the inclusion of Chinese history in Seattle as well. My fvaorite characters were the backscene characters of Mrs. Beatty and Sheldon, who recognized injustice but kept up hope.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Forgotten Garden; Author: Kate Morton; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Really 3.5. It's predictability was well-woven through details and decent writing. I enjoyed the fairy tales interspersed throughout.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Graveyard Book; Author: Neil Gaiman; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: This is the third book I have read by Neil Gaiman, and I am always intrigued by his religious and spiritual references. I enjoyed the direct need for inferential thinking with this text, but it required a lot of background knowledge that many readers, particularly young adults may not have. That being said, I greatly enjoyed the book, and would have given it five stars if I felt my questions were answered more fully.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Moon Over Manifest; Author: Clare Vanderpool; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: 2011 Newbery award winner. While I enjoyed it, I think American historical fiction is running low on historical events to write about and weave into a tale. The most enjoyable aspect of this novel is the character development, with Shady being my stoic favorite. A bit predictable by the end, save for Miss Sadie's role in the tale.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: One Day; Author: David Nicholls; Genres: young-adult, romance, fiction; Review: As far as stories like these go(I would call this chick lit) I felt it was decently written, and I appreciated the device of telling the tale from one day each year. Nicholls used different techniques each chapter, sometimes intertwining stories, sometimes letters, sometimes telling their stories completely separately. I felt the ending was fitting, erring more towards the sad realism that happy endings aren't the daily reality. Dex's life is only what he made of it, and he didn't know to make anything of it without Emma.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption; Author: Laura Hillenbrand; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I did not want to pick this book up, but I am glad Melissa Russell recommended it. Louie is engaging, charming, and resilient. The tales told throughout speak to the horrors of losing your humanity and the struggle to maintain when everyone tries to tear down your dignity. The story moves quickly, the details are perfectly crafted, and the players are memorable friends.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Reliable Wife; Author: Robert Goolrick; Genres: history, fiction, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, romance, mystery; Review: The concept is overwrought with tacky writing and uninspired cliches. For myself, this book reminded me too much of something that should have Fabio on the cover.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #1); Author: Ransom Riggs; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I have read stories similar to this before, such as Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book, and I always enjoy them. Riggs took the extra step if adding photographs, although there are still some left unexplained (like the twins in costumes). I think he could have made the story more extraordinary by adding in stories of some of the more peculiar photographs.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Everything I Never Wanted to Be; Author: Dina Kucera; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I wasn't ready to pick this book up based on the topics discussed, but I actually laughed out loud at times. Life is full of stress and challenges, and Kucera's attempted approach to handling them is uplifting.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Unit; Author: Ninni Holmqvist; Genres: paranormal, romance, fantasy, fiction; Review: Dystopian novels I always love. This was typical, with a slightly realistic ending which I appreciated. Decent read with some I interesting imagery.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Flying Solo; Author: Ralph Fletcher; Genres: children, young-adult, fiction; Review: I read this book to my fifth graders every year and we always love it. Realistic fiction that points out the inanities of adults and the insightfulness of children.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Great Gilly Hopkins; Author: Katherine Paterson; Genres: history, young-adult, children, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: With clouds of glory trailing as I come... Gilly always makes me so proud to be a strong female, and I always cry at the end.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1); Author: E.L. James; Genres: young-adult, romance, fiction; Review: I recognize why people either love or hate this book. I happened to thoroughly enjoy the ease of the reading, the attempt at a new plot twist, and the unconventional romance of it all. It's a little Bella and Edward with the controlling manner of Grey and the bumbling self-consciousness of Ana, but then again those archetypes were stolen from the referenced classics long before. In short- it's not great literature, but it sure as hell was entertaining.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Of Mice and Men; Author: John Steinbeck; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: Simplicity at its finest and most direct.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: We Have Always Lived in the Castle; Author: Shirley Jackson; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Intriguing voices of the characters, which makes the plot of the greedy cousin's arrival far more unique than it could have been. I appreciated the unwavering relationship of the sisters, and the simplicity of living in their circumstance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Aleph; Author: Paulo Coelho; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Perhaps it was the right time for me to read this, or the right state of stagnancy, but Aleph spoke to me, filled me in a way that I have been missing. There is a depth of spirituality that echoes throughout this text that is too often ignored on a daily basis. It helped me reconnect, if only for a brief time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Stranded (Wool, #5); Author: Hugh Howey; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I do hope Hugh Howey is coming out with 6-8.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives; Author: Brian L. Weiss; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: You only live once is a belief that places a lot of pressure on individuals like me. Each passing second can be seen as a lost opportunity, and so most seconds are failures to truly live. This book is very fitting for people like me who truly struggle with the belief that this life must be lived perfectly, as it reminds us that we have certain lessons to learn each time, and the best we can do is practice them as well as we can we love and empathy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Alchemaster’s Apprentice: A Culinary Tale from Zamonia by Optimus Yarnspinner (Zamonia, #5); Author: Walter Moers; Genres: young-adult, comics, children, paranormal, graphic, fantasy, fiction; Review: 3.5. Chance and precision. The small anecdotes amidst the larger story were better than the overall plot.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: You Killed Wesley Payne; Author: Sean Beaudoin; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: 2.5 rounded up because I was entertained the majority of the time. First pulp noir I've read, and I enjoyed the mock pop culture references.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Gone Girl; Author: Gillian Flynn; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: I'm pretty sure I hate this story. It was not enjoyable to me, but rather a painful twisting of my intestines, making me keep reading only for some relief. Three stars because I was surprised, but did I enjoy it? Hell no.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Dinner; Author: Herman Koch; Genres: thriller, crime, mystery, fiction; Review: ** spoiler alert ** I do not feel this was like Gone Girl in the slightest. The structure was enjoyable, the vagueness was laziness on the part of the author- made up illness was unnecessary and detracts from the value of the book. The boys' crime was noteworthy and equally not- as the drawing out of the conclusion was just that- drawn out. I think Paul's hatred of his brother seemed like it was more significant that it ended up being. Looking forward to discussing it, but overall not too impressed.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Where'd You Go, Bernadette; Author: Maria Semple; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: I don't know that I can write a review that matches the nuanced awesomeness of this book. The characters were original, the details were realistic, and the plot engaging. Definitely read it. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Dog Stars; Author: Peter Heller; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Was not impressed. Typical post-apocalyptic with nothing truly engaging until 200 pages in.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Looking for Alaska; Author: John Green; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, fiction, romance, mystery; Review: I read The Fault in Our Stars first, and that book made me laugh out loud numerous times. I was hoping for the same quirky, honest humor, but that's not quite this book. Green does, however, capture the magic of a band of misfits who make life their own, while keeping quirky honesty at the heart.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: There but for the; Author: Ali Smith; Genres: fiction; Review: Actual rating: 2 and a half stars The first two sections were far more engaging to me than the last two; although, the last few pages were a return to goodness.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Me Before You (Me Before You, #1); Author: Jojo Moyes; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: I devoured this book. It wasn't so much that it held something new or identifiably amazing, other than it handled itself with a sense of calm grace, that buoyed me through the story I knew would unfold.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism; Author: Naoki Higashida; Genres: history, young-adult, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I agree with other community members that the use of "we" is misleading. Higashida speaks for himself and others like him, but not ALL autistic individuals. I am not sure if the flaw is in the writing or the translation. As for the content, I didn't find myself feeling overly enlightened, but I do appreciate the reminder of how different brains process life, in what we call its simplest forms, differently.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sharp Objects; Author: Gillian Flynn; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: Gillian Flynn consistently captures the pure evil that exists hiding in the openness of humanity. This book hurts and honors those who know this pain.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Husband's Secret; Author: Liane Moriarty; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: 3.5 rounded to 4 stars. It's a satisfying read- very meat and potatoes for me by the end. It's a whole microcosm doubling in on itself, so you know as a reader that surprises aren't truly in store for you. Overall, though, pretty enjoyable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lucky Breaks (The Hard Pan Trilogy, #2); Author: Susan Patron; Genres: children, young-adult, fiction; Review: While Patron's description and vocabulary is still exceptional, I found Lucky to be extremely dislikeable and not at all redeemed at the end. Numerous times I wanted to stop reading, and I didn't necessarily feel like finishing it made it worth my time.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Eleanor & Park; Author: Rainbow Rowell; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: I wasn't in love in the beginning or middle, but I felt the story far too hard at the end.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Attachments; Author: Rainbow Rowell; Genres: young-adult, romance, fiction; Review: I just want to cuddle with this book. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Long Way Down; Author: Nick Hornby; Genres: fiction; Review: I gave this book three stars because the audio version is very well-read. I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much if I had read it on my own.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Beautiful Ruins; Author: Jess Walter; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Honestly, I didn't ever really connect with this book. It was well-written, quality structural choices; however, I didn't really have anything invested until the last 30 pages. My favorite part was finding out about the painter's backstory- a mere paragraph in 337 pages.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dark Places; Author: Gillian Flynn; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: I have got to give Flynn credit for continuing to capture my attention in such a smart, well-constructed way. I definitely recommend this one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Kill Order (Maze Runner, #0.5); Author: James Dashner; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: This book was one endless fight scene after another. I would have preferred a bit more information shared in a prequel.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Just Listen; Author: Sarah Dessen; Genres: fiction, young-adult, romance; Review: This book was preachy, whiny, and just painful. This was my first Dessen book, but I doubt I'd give her another chance.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Girl on the Train; Author: Paula Hawkins; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: 2.5 stars- had a twist, but I figured it out much earlier than the author intended because of all the Gone Girl references. No character was really enjoyable. I would have liked it more if Hawkins had gotten into the psychology a bit more, rather than feigning it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Dangerous Deception (Dangerous Creatures, #2); Author: Kami Garcia; Genres: young-adult, romance, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Significantly better than the first one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Landline; Author: Rainbow Rowell; Genres: young-adult, romance, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Ugh- not one of Rowell's best. Only character I even remotely liked was Heather. The premise deviated from her normal semi-believable reality. I powered through and kept hoping it would get better, but I would not recommend this one.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: We Were Liars; Author: E. Lockhart; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: The second of E. Lockhart's books I've listened to, and I'm not sure why the author keeps receiving such great reviews. I definitely think that I enjoyed this book more because of the audio narrator, than the actual story being told.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Yes Please; Author: Amy Poehler; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction; Review: I don't know if it was the pregnancy hormones or if the book really was this poignant at times, but I definitely cried a few times during this book- even on an airplane, which Poehler wrote a two page spread of potential reasons why that was. To be honest, I did not want to read this book, as most times I find these types of books to be a let down, but I am glad I had the chance to read this one, for whatever that's worth.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat Friend; Author: Kody Keplinger; Genres: fiction, young-adult, romance; Review: Way too much sex for the sake of sex. Just overall not worth the time or energy to read or even write a more detailed review.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Ask Again Later; Author: Jill A. Davis; Genres: young-adult, romance, fiction; Review: I listened to the audiobook when I was preparing for/on a long drive. This book is nothing special- at parts whiny nonsense, blind naivete, or painful obliviousness, all of which the reader is supposed to by into. I doubt I would have ever picked up this book were it not one of the only things in the library I hadn't listened to, but listening to it wasn't so awful.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments, #6); Author: Cassandra Clare; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: While I enjoyed the series and felt like the end of Clace and Company's stories were well wrapped up, I am annoyed at how many spinoffs Clare has created. To clarify, I'm annoyed because I read this whole series in a few weeks, and I wanted to feel a sense of completion; instead, I feel like I have three roads ahead of me, and I have to make my way down all three at once. Thanks, Clare for making this that much less enjoyable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: All the Light We Cannot See; Author: Anthony Doerr; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: 3.5 stars. I recognize the artful beauty of the writing, but the story was not revolutionary, nor that distinct from most WWII novels. It was a decent read, and if you are interested in reading it, I'd say go for it; however, I am not going to be knocking down your door for you to pick this up.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Man Without a Country; Author: Kurt Vonnegut Jr.; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: Read and reread.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Girl Who Never Was (Otherworld, #1); Author: Skylar Dorset; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Story was decent enough, but the writing was very underdeveloped. When creating a new world, authors need to provide a lot more backstory to that world and the types of people who exist there.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Cruel Crown (Red Queen, #0.1-#0.2); Author: Victoria Aveyard; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: No real new background information at all. Wasn't worth the time to read, as it didn't add anything to the overall story. Two stars only because I appreciated the focus on the backstory of these two characters, even if it was lacking.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Just makes your laptop like brand new and the cloth is carbon coated giving extra clarity. However an extra cloth should have been there in the kit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Case Logic DCB-302 Compact Camera Case (Red); Brand: Case Logic; Review: I ordered it for my Sony WX-50 Camera and not only the camera, but I was able to fit the charger with usb cable in the same case so don't have to carry them separately.

Title: Kinivo BTD-400 Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy USB Adapter - For Windows 10/8.1/8 / Windows 7 / Vista, Raspberry; Brand: Kinivo; Review: I'll give it a 4 star just because it's not super easy to setup like other Bluetooth adapters I've previously tried. The installation is not like plug and play as it should be. It requires a 160 Mb setup to install it over 16 min. But once done, it works like charm every time you plug it. Everything is good about it, the speed, music compression, comatibility and stuff except the fact that its written that it retrieves drivers automatically in case of Windows 8 but it does not.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Beginning of Spring; Author: Visit Amazon's Penelope Fitzgerald Page; Review: Excellent. Challenging and delightful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Voyage of the Beagle; Author: Visit Amazon's Charles Darwin Page; Review: I hadn't read it until now, and am enjoying it much much more than I thought that I would. What a treat to have access to the thoughts and writings from one of the most brilliant minds of modern times. Engaging, thoughtful and fascinating to see the observations that contribute to the eventual theory of evolution. Darwin seems like a delightful individual, and doesn't hesitate to poke fun at himself. One criticism: the formatting was dreadful in this version - the footnotes breakup the text. But it was free, so I suppose I shouldn't complain.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sunshine; Author: Robin Mckinley; Review: I loved this. Only frustrating part is there in no sequel. I desperately want to know what happens next.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sorcery and Cecelia or the Enchanted Chocolate; Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia C. Wrede Page; Review: Lovely, fun read. Sequels are less enjoyable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Elements 2017 Calendar: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe; Author: Visit Amazon's Theodore Gray Page; Review: I bought this for my children (9 and 11) who were blown away by it (as was I). It's a terrific introduction to the elements, engaging, funny and full of esoteric facts. My children loved it. Highly recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Veiled (An Alex Verus Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Benedict Jacka Page; Review: I continue to read and enjoy these novels. However, they are rather chilly - I can't warm to he main character despite being heroic, clever, outsider status etc etc. Not quite sure why. However, I'll continue to read the series. Writing quality is good and plot lines excellent. This one wasn't the most enjoyable - some of the others were a strong 4 stars.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments); Author: Visit Amazon's Cassandra Clare Page; Review: Urk. Overwrought, badly written and paper-thin characters. Purple prose abounds. For a much more interesting read try Sarah Rees Brennan's 'Demon' trilogy.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Uprooted; Author: Visit Amazon's Naomi Novik Page; Review: Excellent. Engaging story, attractive characters and excellent writing quality. I think some sections could have been tightened up a little, but that is a minor complaint.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Demon Bound (Imp); Author: Visit Amazon's Debra Dunbar Page; Review: This is a book which I wouldn't normally read past the first 2 chapters but I actually enjoyed it, and read the next one against my better judgement. The plot is nonsensical, the main character(s) very unsympathetic and writing could be better, BUT there is something very enjoyable about the series. However I probably won't continue unless they start stocking it in the library; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Trysmoon Book 1: Ascension (The Trysmoon Saga) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Brian K Fuller Page; Review: The quality of the writing is good to very good, but heavens! The plot! The characters! The hero is a Mary Stu: stoic, caring, self-sacrificing, heroic.a magnet for all women - the villains are more appealing. Despite all of these shortcomings, I read the second novel, and began the third before giving up, so the author has talent. However, the books became increasingly ridiculous. And the female characters? They seem to be lifted from a Harlequin novel.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Immortal Circus (Cirque des Immortels); Author: Visit Amazon's A. R. Kahler Page; Review: 2.5 stars are probably more appropriate. It was a bit of a trek to wade through the overwrought prose. Evildoers slightly more interesting than the heroine. Overcooked would describe it, I think. However, I finished it, hence the 2.5 stars; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Jackaby; Author: Visit Amazon's William Ritter Page; Review: This received great reviews, but it doesn't live up to its promise. Workmanlike writing, but neither the plot nor the characters are enough to make this an up-all-night read. Quite enjoyable though.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Foul Mouth and the Troubled Boomworm (The King Henry Tapes Book 3) eBook; Author: Visit Amazon's Richard Raley Page; Review: I read three of these novels before giving up - engaging characters, the writing quality is quite good, and the plots move along at a fair clip. I think the main issue for me was that I lost interest in the main character. I can't quite identify what the problem was: I think that despite having lots of character traits, he had no real substance. I didn't care enough to continue reading. Still, the first in the series is worth a look.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Tainted (Ava Delaney; Author: Visit Amazon's Claire Farrell Page; Review: A followup to the first series - Farrell's writing is quite good, but the plot flow and energy that made the first series so engaging is lacking here. The characters are mired in the usual 'fight against evil' but there is little character development, far too much angst, and not much plot progression.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Midnight Mayor: Or, the Inauguration of Matthew Swift; Author: Visit Amazon's Kate Griffin Page; Review: The Matthew Swift novels are criminally underrated. The magic system is well imagined and unusual, the writing quality is excellent and the hero engaging. Several cuts above the usual urban fantasy. Highly recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kitty Peck and the Child of Ill-Fortune; Author: Visit Amazon's Kate Griffin Page; Review: Kate Griffin is a very underrated writer. Her work is wonderful: appealing characters, excellently plotted novels and very, very well written. This is a sequel to Kitty Peck and the Music Hall Murders which was the better novel: many of the mysteries in that novel were more of a whodunnit and I for one couldn't spot the culprit. The sequel had less immediacy and less a sense of urgency than in the former. However, that is a very minor complaint, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Highly recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Madam, Will You Talk?; Author: Visit Amazon's Mary Stewart Page; Review: So I remember reading Mary Stewart as a child and being thrilled by her books: the romance! The brooding heroes! The excessive quoting of Shakespeare! I started re-reading them with her first published work: it's terribly, terribly English. (I kept hearing the characters in my head speaking in 'received pronunciation'). Phrases like 'You beautiful bitch' are just ridiculous and cringe-making. Ditto the love story (Insta-Passion! Just add water!). But Mary Stewart writes beautifully, can communicate tension expertly, and has a lovely line in metaphor. So not wasted by any means, and worth the $1.99. Re the rating - I'd give it a 5 out of 10 rather than the 3/5 (which I reserve for the very good; it's not quite there, but it's better than a 2/5. I'm over thinking this). Anyway, enjoyable, well-written, but l'amour is sadly dated.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Strange Practice (A Dr. Greta Helsing Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Vivian Shaw Page; Review: This is really deserves a 3.5 star rating. It's madly cliched, you can see the interpersonal dynamics being signaled a mile off, but it's well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The villains are suitably nefarious, which is always a plus.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Murder In Thrall (A New Scotland Yard Mystery); Author: Visit Amazon's Anne Cleeland Page; Review: I rarely write reviews, but I felt I had to warn the innocent. Where can I start? The characters are caricatures - the heroine is Irish or perhaps 'Oirish' - I am too, and no-one ever (ever) speaks like Doyle - especially if she is from Dublin. "I will try to be more careful, Michael, but recall that we would not be married and havin' this fine conversation, else". Begorrah and sure isn't that a fine piece of the writing out of her, god bless the mark. Ack. Acton is a creepy cipher; the United Nations of supporting characters flit in and out making gnomic utterances. The plot is flimsy in the extreme, with an unpleasant undertone to it, and it reads as if it were written by a teenager. Avoid at all costs. It was recommended on a book reviewer's blog. I have no idea what possessed them. Thankfully, I borrowed it from the library, otherwise there would have been gnashing of teeth and lamentations on my part.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Raven Stratagem (Machineries of Empire); Author: Visit Amazon's Yoon Ha Lee Page; Review: Excellent - almost as good as the first one. Labyrinthine plotting, (extremely) flawed characters, twists, turns, beautifully written. It's on my re-read list.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Death in the Andamans; Author: Visit Amazon's M. M. Kaye Page; Review: I must confess to liking MM Kaye's 'Death in ... ' series. They are immensely enjoyable if you can stomach the rabidly colonial, stiff upper-lipped characters (and that's just the heroines) -but they are well written whodunits. But this was difficult to enjoy - the heroine and her side-kick/romantic interest were SO unbearably smug, and it ended (SPOILER) with an (unintentionally) buttock-clenchingly embarrassing marriage proposal - Darling.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Twelfth Enchantment: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's David Liss Page; Review: I read David Liss's 'The Coffee Trader' and 'Conspiracy of Paper' a number of years ago: I though them very well crafted, well researched and with appealing characters. This was underwhelming - it was well written, but it felt like the author wasn't very convinced by, or interested in the plot. I'd give it 5 out of 10 if I could - but it doesn't deserve a 3/5.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: A Long Day in Lychford (Witches of Lychford); Author: Visit Amazon's Paul Cornell Page; Review: I really like Paul Cornell (especially his London series) but the Lychford series are very good indeed. This wasn't. It was enjoyable enough, but not up to the usual standard.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Goblins of Bellwater; Author: Visit Amazon's Molly Ringle Page; Review: Meh. Overwrought, rather dull. Plotline reasonable and the Goblins were suitably villanous, but hardly stellar stuff.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Agent of Enchantment (Dark Fae FBI) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's C.N. Crawford Page; Review: Oh dear. I did finish it, so it must have had some redeeming features. Though I can't remember any.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Lenox MA; City: Lenox Massachusetts; Review: Although the staff at check-in were lovely, this motel is in need of major renovation. The room was old, dark and damp and the climate system needs work. I would most definitely not recommend this motel to anyone staying in the area - and I find it incredibly rude that a few people who have posted in recent days found it amusing to write a made-up review to be funny. That's not what TripAdvisor is meant to be for.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Omni Mandalay Hotel at Las Colinas; City: Irving Texas; Review: This hotel was lovely - my standard king bed room was enormous and well appointed, fresh and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. The hotel has a very nice fitness center that is open 24-7 with enough machines that you do not need to wait. As I was traveling alone, I dined solo for dinner and breakfast and although pricey, the food and service were both exceptional.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carnegie Inn Spa; City: State College Pennsylvania; Review: We planned a quick overnight trip to visit Penn State on a Sunday-Monday. We had booked the Days Inn but when we went back to look at our other choices, we found this hotel - at close to the same price - so figured why not try it. From my first point of contact to make the reservation, it was personal service. Handled like a small inn or bed and breakfast in that way. The double-double room was very spacious with a couch and a sitting area with a desk alcove. The bathroom was enormous with both a large jacuzzi and a standing shower. My only issue at all was the fact that there was no hot water at first in the morning - but a quick call to the front desk was speedily remedied (I think they just needed to flip a switch). We didn't have a meal at the inn, but the dining room and menu looked elegant and worth a visit. I wish we had more time for our visit.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: EnVision Hotel Boston Longwood; City: Boston Massachusetts; Review: This is a small hotel with personal service. You can almost miss it from the road as it looks as if it's a small apartment building. The front desk staff was lovely. Expect to use the valet parking (at a 20 dollar/night charge) as there is really nowhere else to park a car. The rooms were clean and very comfortable with small amenities you wouldn't expect such as robe, slippers and a fairly large refrigerator. One nice touch was that each evening in the lobby there is a "sweets" display for guests to partake in. One night it was ice cream sundaes with toppings, the next it was a candy shoppe with a variety of goodies.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ercole di Amalfi Bed Breakfast; City: Amalfi Amalfi Coast Province of Salerno Campania; Review: Our family of five had two spacious rooms overlooking the beautiful vista/water from high up in the hills of Amalfi. Maria was a lovely hostess and we enjoyed a plentiful breakfast with perfect cappuccino every morning on the outdoor terrace canopied by lemon trees and hundred of lemons. Strong wifi was provided and we even had a space behind the gated entrance to park our rental car.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Atmosfere del Centro Storico; City: Naples Province of Naples Campania; Review: We loved every minute of our stay here - - in two lovely and spacious rooms. Our hosts and owners, Mario and Bozena bent over backwards to make us feel at home but were never intrusive. The homemade croissants at breakfast were the most memorable of all the croissants we had during our 10 day trip through Italy. When we were tired after arriving, Mario offered to go out and get us some delicious Naples pizza and bring it back! You can't go wrong here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Le Meridien Delfina Santa Monica; City: Santa Monica California; Review: This hotel is fine. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. Rooms need some updating. Mine felt humid and damp and A/C was not working well. Asked for service call and nothing changed. Restaurant breakfast expensive but tasty. Average on all counts.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Edwardian Mercer Street Hotel; City: London England; Review: This hotel is centrally located smack in the middle of Covent Garden. The staff bends over backwards to be helpful - and the newly renovated restaurant is top-notch for breakfast. I have stayed here for both business and pleasure - and in all cases it has been an excellent choice and good value for the money; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Oxford; City: Oxford Maine; Review: What a lovely hotel! Here for youngest daughter's last camp visiting day - have been coming this way for more than 10 years and only just discovered this hotel (think it's relatively new so that is likely the reason). Nonetheless I wish they had built this sooner. Clean, spacious rooms and bathroom, super comfy and very crisp, fresh bedding. Nice breakfast. Lots of parking and right off the road! Bravo Hampton Oxford.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Woods Hole Passage Bed Breakfast Inn; City: Woods Hole Falmouth Cape Cod Massachusetts; Review: Martha and Julie have everything covered at this low-key getaway in close proximity to both Woods Hole and Falmouth. We loved our stay here. The homemade 2-course breakfasts were thoughtfully prepared and presented each morning. Comfortable sitting areas inside and out. Bikes and helmets free and available to guests. This is how B&B living is meant to be.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Atlas Shrugged; Author: Visit Amazon's Ayn Rand Page; Review: I have read this book and listened to the audio book twice. It is long but well worth it. Along with some great philosophy there is also a great story line.. One of those that you just want to keep reading.. It can be hard to get into and understand at the beginning due to so many characters being announced as there are a ton. A few to help you get started. The first bit of the book is really just setting the stage and then it really gets good. The Main character is Dagney Taggart and she runs the railroad, Her brother Jim Taggart is the president but is more involved with the political end of the railroad. Eddie Willers is Dagneys right hand man and plays a big role in operation. Francisco D'anconia is a childhood friend of Dagneys and is a very wealthy man that runs a copper company. Orren Boyle and Hank Reardon both work in the steel industry supplying steel to the railroad Boyle is very corrupt with bad business practices and Reardon is more of an honest businessman that runs a great business. I know these are very short descriptions but I didn't want to give anything away.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Night the World Turned Royal Blue; Author: Visit Amazon's Jason Sivewright Page; Review: Must have for any Royals Fan! Super cute book about a super awesome game!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Season of Grief; Author: Visit Amazon's Ann Dawson Page; Review: Ann is a fabulous writer and helps the reader find a little peace in a difficult time. I buy this book anytime I have a friend that is struggling with grief. MUST READ for anybody suffering. Thank you Ann for helping so many people.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Wizard of Oz; Author: Visit Amazon's L. Frank Baum Page; Review: The amount of joy this book brings me is slightly embarrassing. I used to check this book out from the library repeatedly when I was younger. I recently listened to the audio-book with my daughter and I could vividly remember almost all the pictures as I listened to it. As soon as I got home, I searched and searched the internet until I found this copy; and the pictures were just as I remembered. The story is fabulous of course, but this has got to be the BEST version EVER!!! If you are considering buying a copy of The Wizard of Oz, please do yourself a favor and order this one. The pictures are just like Baum describes and makes the book a thousand times more enjoyable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Confident Woman: Start Today Living Boldly and Without Fear; Author: Visit Amazon's Joyce Meyer Page; Review: Purchased a used option, and it came looking as if it had never been touched before. It is in great condition and shipping didn't take that long either. Used for a book club, varying opinions but most really enjoyed the book. Meyer gives lots of examples which makes it easy to apply to your own life. Recommend it if you are looking for a good book to help see why the world needs more confident women like you!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!; Author: Dr. & Prelutsky, Jack (Janet Schulman, afterward) Seuss; Review: Perfect gift for my student teacher. Classic unreleased Seuss book brought to life by modern author and illustrator. If you haven't read this Dr. Seuss book, definitely give it a try!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Reigate Manor; City: Reigate Surrey England; Review: We had a superb wedding breakfast at the hotel. The room and table were beautiful dressed. The staff were more than helpful at all times. After a blessing and reception at a local venue we returned to the hotel with family members for an overnight stay. Our room was lovely, with items already there that we have found we have had to request at other hotels. Breakfast was great with so many options. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. We will certainly return; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Reigate Manor; City: Reigate Surrey England; Review: Delicious food (as usual) great service and a lovely touch of flowers and chocs for Mums. This hotel never fails to please whether you're just dining or staying in one of their lovely rooms. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wanted somewhere to stay in this area or just wanted a lovely meal and night out.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Mansfield Hotel; City: Sutton in Ashfield Nottinghamshire England; Review: We have stayed here on several occasions and found it clean and comfortable with pleasant staff. As with most Travelodge hotels its in busy location but not noisy at night. There's restaurant opposite which is a bonus and a local Tesco express store. Very handily located for local facilities and nearby attractions and outlet shopping centre.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Reigate Manor; City: Reigate Surrey England; Review: As usual the Reigate Manor came up to expectations for a surprise trip for my Husband's birthday treat. Dinner excellent the service great. Our waiter was exceptional. Our room good value for money. We'll be back soon; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Innkeeper s Lodge Maidstone; City: Maidstone Kent England; Review: Whole family stayed 2 night 8/9 September so we had 5 Rooms. The staff were most helpful and cheerful. Had a glitch over breakfast first morning but all well on 2nd morning. Our room was large and comfortable but the beds in 3 rooms were small doubles and not as comfortable. I hope that the proprietorship will upgrade the beds and give some tickets to some aspects of some bedrooms. On the whole though we had a very pleasant stay and for the price of the rooms were good for the price. We will stay again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Elgin Hotel Blackpool; City: Blackpool Lancashire England; Review: Stayed here for one night DBB to visit the pleasure beach and the illuminations. Were offered a good last minute rate for two rooms and were pleased to begiven two adjoining rooms. Meals were of a good standard and rooms pleasant and clean.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Yosemite View Lodge; City: El Portal California; Review: This hotel is in a great location for visiting Yosemite and is just as convenient as staying in the valley. The room was a good size for four of us and was clean. It was a standard mountain view room with a balcony and kitchen area which was useful for making breakfast and drinks but lacked pans. This wasn't a problem as the pizza on site was very reasonably priced and the food court at the Yosemite Lodge also did pasta and burgers. Two factors let it down slightly, the first that we had to queue for about 30 mins to check in and also the queue in the shop was equally slow - after first night we brought back food for breakfast from the village store. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Thistle Hyde Park; City: London England; Review: First impressions on arrivng last weekend were really positive. Friendly and efficent check in and storage of luggage until room was ready later as it was only 11am when we arrived. We had booked a standard twin room, which was a good size on the fourth floor and had a view of the park. it was well appointed with everything we needed including an iron and ironing board, and was well maintained and clean. After a good nights sleep we went to eat breakfast which was included in our room rate and this is where the service let the hotel down. After entering the dining room at 8am and placing an order for cooked food we had to wait over 30mins for it to arrive and in total breakfast took over 1 hour. The food that was served was well cooked and extremely well presented but the time taken was just too long. Despite this we decided to eat in the restaurant that evening as they were offering a fixed price menu for £15 which we were assured would be available. However on returning to eat at 7:30pm it transpired that only one main course was available and as this was not to our liking we had to order off their main menu which was more like bar food (fish and chips, pie etc.) and also more expensive. Service again was on the slow side and the prices too high for the type of food on offer. The following morning we had to get up early to ensure we had time for breakfast as we needed to leave the hotel by 9am. Whilst I can't fault the hotel as a place to stay and the location was very good for sight seeing and shopping, the restaurant does not reflect it's 4 star rating.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane; City: Dublin County Dublin; Review: Booked three nights through Alpharooms at a good rate. Hotel is about 20-30 mins walk from centre which wasn't a problem, although wouldn't have wanted to walk around Pearse Street alone at night as saw groupsof young people hanging around and banging on cars. Rooms were a good size, we had two interconnecting rooms for the four of us and they were well fitted out with comfortable beds and a flat screen T.V. The bathroom in the second room was freezing cold which would have been an issue if we had only had one shower. Breakfast was a bit chaotic particularly on Easter Sunday when the hotel was very busy. but the choice of food was good. We ate in the bar on arrival and found the sandwiches to be reasonably priced compared to the centre of Dublin The pool and the jacuzzi in the leisure centre were a welcome feature although if you have children under 16 the times they are allowed in is restricted. Would happily stay here again if the rate was as good; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: London Marriott Hotel Twickenham; City: Twickenham Greater London England; Review: Spent three nights here two adults and two teenagers in a room with two double beds. Good size room and nice bathroom, all very clean with good bedlinen and quality towels. The room was lovely and quiet despite being able to watch the planes queuing to land at Heathrow. We booked a package including breakfast with Travel Republic for a very good rate - breakfast if paid for at the hotel is £16 each. The selection at breakfast was excellent and the food was well cooked and replenished regularly. Chose the hotel based on the good reviews and the presence of free parking. Travelled into central London twice which was quick and easy to do - 10 mins walk to Twickenham Station then 20 -30 mins to Waterloo depending on train. A £7.50 off peak travelcard covers this and all tube and bus journeys. Also conveniently located for Hampton Court, Kew and Chessington. Would defintely stay here again if we wanted to drive down as much cheaper than staying in the centre; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Swinton Park Country Club and Spa; City: Ripon North Yorkshire England; Review: We spent the night of our silver wedding anniversary in the Masham Room as part of the romance package. The hotel is very grand and it felt as if we staying in a small stately home, as we were shown around and told a little of the history on the way to our room. The room and bathroom were large and well equipped, with a wonderful view over the deer park. We walked around the grounds and enjoyed watching the birds from the hide and seeing the hawks and owls in the aviary. After relaxing in the spa for an hour, we had a fabulous meal in Samuel's Restaurant. The cooked breakfast the next morning was probably the best we have ever eaten, as the quality of the ingredients was superb. It was a truely relaxing break and a great way to celebrate a special event.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Manoir Victoria; City: Quebec City Quebec; Review: This hotel is in a great location for visiting the old town of Quebec with easy access to the upper and lower town. Room was clean with a goosd bathroom and of an average size with two double beds. we had e-mailed in advance to request a quiet room with a view - the view towards the port and the grain silos with the Image Mill on was good, but the street noise was a nuisance particularly on the first morning when we were woken at 6am by street cleaning and refuse wagons (not great when you have just arrived late the day before from the UK which they knew). Had breakfast at Paillard's which is very convenient and reasonably priced.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Niagara Falls Marriott on the Falls; City: Niagara Falls Ontario; Review: We selected this hotel having studied the reviews so we would have a good view of the falls.We were in a standard fallsview quad room on the 10th floor and had a great view of the falls and could watch the lights changing colour on a night from the comfort of our room. The room was well equipped and clean with plenty of space for 4 adults. Our package included breakfast which was a buffet with a very good selection as we expected in a Marriott and the Milestones Restaurant was good value in the evening particularly on Weds when the date night special menu was available,; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Ottawa; City: Ottawa Ontario; Review: The hotel is in an excellent location close to Parliament and the Byward Market and we thought in the nicest part of Ottawa.We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights during a fly drive trip in a standard quad room which was very clean and well presented. The staff were always helpful, recommending where to find restaurants when we checked in and generally we had no problems with the elevators as they had staff monitoring these too. Special thanks must go to the valet staff and porter who when assisting us to load our car on checking out and discovering we were driving to Alconquin on what was going to be a warm day supplied us with bottled water for the trip. Only one niggle which occurred in nearly every hotel we stayed in - if from the amount of nightwear in a room it is obvious four people are staying why leave only towels and washcloths for three? Perhaps management need to explain this to housekeeping staff as it is annoying to have to ring for more every day even if it is brought very promptly as was the case here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel L Horset Opera BW Premier Collection; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: This hotel is close to the Opera Garnier and we found it very conveniently located for visitng the major sights in Paris. It is within easy walking distance of the Place de la Concorde, Louvre and Blvd Haussmann for shopping and it was only about 20 mins walk from Notre Dame. The rooms were well equipped and very clean and well presented. Our room on the fifth floor overlooked the side street and was very qiuiet. The breakfast included everything you would expect, including cheese, ham and pastries and was topped up regularly. It would have been better if the courtesy tray had been in the room on arrival rather than us having to request it ( if we hadn't read the hotel website we wouldn't have known they were available) and likewise the second bathrobe. Also the room was over warm and the air conditioning was not effective. However we would not hesitate to stay here again if visiting Paris and wanting to be in this location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Kong Arthur; City: Copenhagen Zealand; Review: The hotel is well situated, close to the metro and within easy walking distance of the main sites and shopping area. We had a standard double room, which was large enough for our needs, nicely furnished and well equipped. The hotel granted our request for a bath, however it was damaged and looked as though it needed replacing. The room was on the 4th floor overlooking the courtyard so was nice and quiet and thankfully we could open the windows as it was very warm. We did try to request some lighter bedding but none was given, as the duvets are too heavy for summer. The buffet breakfast was included in our rate and was of a good quality and selection, with a good range of breads. We also enjoyed the cosy hour in the bar.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel De La Ville Sorrento; City: Sorrento Province of Naples Campania; Review: We considered a number of hotels in Sorrento before selecting this one and felt we definitely made the correct choice. It is conveniently located for the centre and for the marina, bus and train stations, making independant trips around the area vrey easy. The room we had was on the third floor with a seaview and was spacious and was kept spotlessly clean. The balcony view was amazing and we never tired of looking over the bay to Mt Vesuvius. Unlike some hotels there was ample storage space and plenty of hangers, although an iron would have been a useful addition. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room would also have been nice. There was everything you could want available for breakfast, including a selection of cakes which changed daily and even by the end of our 11 day stay we still found new things to sample.The staff were extremely efficient at serving drinks and at clearing away, watched over by Enzo and were all very friendly. We were staying on a B & B rate and ate in the restaurant on the Sorrento evening and enjoyed the food and music, but with so many good restaurants in Sorrento we enjoyed sampling a different one every night. We used both pools and the bathing platform at the Royal Hotel and all were very clean, with towels supplied at the bar. Would happily return in the future.to stay here, and the bottle of Proseco in the room when we arrived was a lovely touch.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Afon View Guest House; City: Betws y Coed Snowdonia National Park North Wales Wales; Review: We stayed here for 4 nights in rooms 5 and 8 on the second floor. Both rooms were very clean and contained everything we needed for a comfortable stay - the single room was a particularly good size with a large shower. Breakfast included a full Welsh and also other cooked options, with also museli, cereals and a very good selection of prepared fresh fruit to help yourself to. Easy walking distance to a choice of places for an evening meal - the Grill Room at the Royal Oak was very good - where ever you choose it is best to book in advance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Chatham Wayside Inn; City: Chatham Cape Cod Massachusetts; Review: We stayed here for 2 nights over the Columbus weekend and had requested in advance a quiet room on a high floor. On check in we were allocated a room to the front of the hotel by the entrance to the parking - the room itself was a good size, clean, but basic with no where to sit and relax. We were told about the included continental breakfast but thought 8am start to be quite late (this was our last stay on a trip around New England and every other hotel we had stayed in had breakfast from 7am). However we did take breakfast on the second day when rather than being continental as advised we found a range of hot items available as well as fruit and pastries. The noise from lorries backing into the car park by our room to deliver food from just after 7am meant no lie in before a night flight back to the UK.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Portland Regency Hotel Spa; City: Portland Maine; Review: We stayed here as part of a trip around New England and whilst the room was fine it was on the small side and felt a little cramped. The valet parking was very reasonable and the complimentary coffee and pastries in the morning a nice touch. We had requested a quiet room before arrival so were surprised to be allocated one on the ground floor with the street right outside the window.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Williams Inn; City: Williamstown Massachusetts; Review: This was a one night stop off on a trip around New England and whilst this wasn't the most luxurious hotel of our trip it was pleasant enough and offered a good nights sleep. We were upgraded to a superior room and the room was spacious, well equipped and clean. The included continental breakfast was of a good quality, and wifi and parking are also included.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Viking; City: Newport Rhode Island; Review: The hotel is in a good location for visiting both the mansions and the centre of Newport and check in staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in a Newport room which was a good size although the bathroom layout with the sink on the opposite side of the entrance was a little odd and lacked space to hang towels close to the sink. We appreciated the use of the hotel car to take us to our dinner reservation on a very wet evening. We were disappointed with the pool area changing facilities as there were no lockers to leave clothes in which was rather odd. We had breakfast in the restaurant on our second morning and ordered off the a la carte menu, rather than choosing the Saturday buffet - the omelette which was served with potatoes had to be returned to the kitchen as the potatoes were cold, this was then quite clearly just heated up and returned - this was really not acceptable for the price charged for the breakfast.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Green Mountain Inn; City: Stowe Vermont; Review: We stayed for two nights at the Green Mountain Inn as part of a trip around New England to view the fall foliage. Having requested in advance a room in a quiet location we were delighted that the deluxe room we had booked was in the Club House away from the main road. The room itself was a good size with a four poster bed, fire place and Jacuzzi bath and was wonderful for relaxing in. The fire place really added something to the experience particularly as hotels in the UK never have this feature. We also enjoyed trying out the hot tub and the indoor spa facilities. We had the continental buffet breakfast both mornings and found this to be very good value for the quality of the pastries and breads on offer. On checking in we were recommended to try the tea and cookies in the afternoon which we found were also very good and a nice touch. Dinner in the Whip Bar and Grill we found was well prepared - I particularly enjoyed the sole stuffed with lobster - although it was rather noisy in the restaurant.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Boutique Hotel Constans; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: We stayed for 3 nights at the hotel in a deluxe room. The room itself was very large with two sofas, large bath and separate shower, clean and well equipped. Breakfast was mainly buffet with some cooked items to order and there was plenty of choice, good fresh fruit and homemade pastries and cake and everything was good quality. Location was ideal for visiting the castle and the Old Town and there were plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. There are a number of small items that would need to be corrected to gain 5 stars though - we were in room 46 which had a window behind the bed, the blind for this was hung some distance from it which meant we were woken by the sun shinning on our faces as soon as it was daylight - the shower needs a shelf to put shampoo etc on - tea and coffee making is supplied in the room but we were only left earl grey tea yet a large selection was available in the breakfast room - prior to arrival we requested a quiet room, so in a hotel with very few rooms near the elevator we were surprised to have been allocated a room next to it and were disturbed by guests returning to their rooms late in the evening Whilst we enjoyed our stay and loved Prague these are simple issues that would make a good hotel great and improve guest experience.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Caesius Thermae Spa Resort; City: Bardolino Province of Verona Veneto; Review: We had a very enjoyable 11 night stay at this hotel which has lovely gardens and great facilities. We were shown to our room, an Augustus Suite and were given a map of the site but it would have been useful to have some key locations such as the restaurant pointed out to us. The suite was large with a separate sitting room and bathroom with a bathtub and shower cubicle, and a large balcony It was well equipped and the furnishings were good quality, an iron and board would have been a useful addition. We also had a good view of the lake which was an added bonus and it was in a peaceful location with no noise intrusion even during the motorcycle festival over the road. Breakfast served in the restaurant was plentiful, with lots of choice, although there were no freshly cooked eggs, just pancakes which were only available on a Sunday - we would also have liked to be able to have breakfast on the Augustus Terrace but even though the hotel seemed to be busy and the weather good this was not open during our stay. The gardens were lovely and very well maintained with quiet areas to relax in, including one we discovered with hammocks. The outdoor pools were large and included an area with various hydro-massage jets and we never struggled to find a lounger when we returned to the hotel mid afternoon. The inside spa facilities were the best we have seen and we enjoyed the complimentary massage and also used the sauna, steam room and pool which were very quiet and relaxing. The provision of robes and towels for the pool and spa in the room was very useful. We used the shuttle on a number of evenings to get to the centre of Bardolino which took about 30mins to walk to along the lake side path. The only negative factor which has reduced the rating I have given the hotel was that on the day of the 10th birthday celebration, having read the menu of the day in reception in the late afternoon, we reserved a table for dinner. The receptionist made no mention of the fact that due to the event being held dinner had been altered to a buffet, so having being seated and having ordered drinks and requested a menu it was a shock to be told this fact. Due to the numbers of people this was a slightly chaotic affair with hardly any staff on hand to clear used plates, this would have been more acceptable if the price of the meal had been less than the usual 5 course menu but it was not. Had we been for-warned we would not have eaten there and would have gone to Lunico next door instead where we could have been served a 5 course tasting menu with prosecco, wine and coffee for the same price we paid for a buffet and two glasses of wine.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Vincci Seleccion La Plantacion del Sur; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: We spent a week at this hotel in a double room and enjoyed a relaxing stay. the hotel has many positive aspects to it but also a few areas that could be improved. The rooms we had even though it was the basic room at this hotel was larger than most hotel rooms with an excellent sized balcony with two lounger style chairs. The bathroom was huge with two sinks, a lovely large bath, separate shower and a toilet and bidet that were also separated off for privacy (particularly good if you also had children in the room). Tea making facilities and an iron and board however would be useful additions. The room was very clean and was serviced twice a day with extra towels available in the evening. There was a large selection of food at breakfast, both hot and cold and the quality was exceptional, with plenty of staff to serve drinks and clear away used plates. We were booked on a B & B basis but decided to have dinner in the hotel buffet on the Canarian Evening to sample the local food and whilst there was a good selection of starters and main courses with some freshly cooked meats and fish, the potatoes, chips and vegetables were all cold. At €35 per person we also thought this was poor value compared to the restaurants nearby, where the food was much better. The pool areas were lovely, plenty of loungers and we loved the Balinese beds. There were however a number of issues that really shouldn't arise in a 5 star hotel. We booked two coach trips which left the hotel quite early meaning we needed to commence breakfast at 7:30am (the earliest time it is available) and although the restaurant was open at that time most of the food had not been put out and on both occasions it was at least 10mins later before even basic items such as bread rolls were available. If breakfast starts at 7:30am then I would expect the full range of items to be available from that time. We also requested a taxi to be booked for us to take us to Puerto Colon for a pre booked boat trip but were told just to request it when we needed it as it would only take a couple of minutes to arrive. On doing this the taxi actually took 20 mins to pick us up by which time we were very worried we would miss the trip. Thanks to the driver getting us there as quickly as possible and taking us right in to the carpark and up to the gate we made it but had to have seats at the rear of the boat as we were last to arrive. We would also have expected bearing in mind the price of the hotel to either have had free access to the spa pool and steam room at least once during our stay, or for there to have been a hydro-massage area and jets in one of the outdoor pools. We had; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: St James Court A Taj Hotel; City: London England; Review: Classic double room which was a good size and equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay, and it was lovely and quiet with a view of the courtyard. Breakfast was good with a choice of English and Indian cooked items and some lovely pastries, although the buffet area was a little cramped. Good to be served both tea, coffee and toast at the table. Hotel was in an excellent location for visiting sights, shopping and for the Apollo Theatre to see Wicked.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Le Grand Pavois; City: Juan les Pins Antibes French Riviera Cote d Azur Provence Alpes C; Review: We spent 11 nights staying here and whilst there was nothing greatly wrong with the hotel there was no wow factor either - it was just average. The major plus factor is it's location in a quiet side street, close to the beach and a 10 min walk to the train station. On entry the lobby and lounge area are lovely, but no one used the bar or the lounge so there was no atmosphere. We had requested a seaview room and the one we were allocated had one but only from the balcony which was small and got no sun. The room itself was a generous size, but the wardrobe was a small walk in cupboard and there were only three small drawers in the desk plus a fridge which didn't work. There was ample space to fit more storage in the room. The bed was comfortable and the air-con excellent. The bathroom was adequate but the bath was tiny - both narrow and short - and I'm only a petite slim person and there was mildew around it and the shower leaked every time a bath was run. Whilst the room was clean the level of maid service decreased the longer we were there with items not replaced (or rationed?) and the bed only quickly made - if you are going to have cushions etc on the bed they should be replaced each day not left all over the floor. We had breakfast each day as it was convenient, but the amount of each item of food out was low, the quality was reasonable although we have had better pastries elsewhere. The presence of a pigeon one morning sitting on the bread was something we did not wish to see and the on mentioning this to the staff the bread was not removed but left for people arriving later to eat! This did make us wonder about the general hygiene standards for food preparation. In summary we had a lovely holiday and really liked the area, travelling around to Cannes, Monaco and Nice. This hotel though has so much potential to be great if it just tried that little bit harder.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hotel Amarano Burbank; City: Burbank California; Review: We stayed at Amarano for 3 nights, and just wanted to stay there for the rest of the year! Close to the film studios, and with a nice, quiet pool. All the staff were very friendly and gave us lots of nice advice (especialy the front office clerk, whose name I unfortunately have forgotten...mr Williamsen maybe? a bearded man with glasses who is always up for a chat).

Title: Akihabara Washington Hotel; City: Chiyoda Tokyo Tokyo Prefecture Kanto; Review: We chose the Washington hotel as it was located close to the las-vegas-style crazyness of Akiba, and it did give us both the fear and the loathing. We had ordered three rooms, two with queen beds and one with twin beds. We did however receive three queen bed rooms, forcing my baby brother and my mother to sleep in the same bed. After complaining, we were offered an extra bed in the already small room for an additional 200$. Not good. The hotel restaurant was way too small for the size of the hotel, and when we wanted to dine there, we were told they needed a two-days-in-advance reservation. Useless, as we only stayed for two days...It is an ok hotel if you just need a place to store your luggage while drinking your juice in Sega Hell outside.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Vischio Amagasaki; City: Amagasaki Hyogo Prefecture Kinki; Review: Centrally located hotel next to the Amagasaki train station. It may need a little renovating, it is however comfy and our room on the 12. floor had a great panorama view over the City. The restaurant/cafe/bar closes way to early (9 or 10 pm). At least the bar part should have stayed open much longer, as everything close by also closes at this time, and you need to walk for some time to find a place that got food and beer, and that isn't 7/eleven...The hotel does however have what you need if you do not plan to stay in the room all day and only need a place to rest, and the malls on both sides offer shopping, food and entertainment (bowling, arcade games...).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Swissotel Nankai Osaka; City: Namba Chuo Osaka Osaka Prefecture Kinki; Review: Very nice hotel. Modern and with all the facilities you'll need. It did however bother me that guests have to pay to use the gym and swimming pool. It's only 30$ (a day), but it's the principle of the thing, so it kept me from using them. We had the "full american breakfast" (which is really English breakfast with some additional jams and bread) delivered to our room every morning as it tasted fantastic. It was all in all a very pleasant stay and the hotel feels both classy and up to date.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

The apartments are very spacious (70m2), brand new (as of 2016/17) and their sunbed-equipped balconies all face the sea. The pool is perfectly cool after spending the day in the sun, and walking to the beach takes 2-3 mins. Nice restaurants at and around the hotel. The only drawback is the road running in front of the pool, which wouldn't have been a problem if not for the thousands of wild buses and motorcycles roaming the island.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

My husband and I wanted to get some thing for our 3 year old son that teaches him something's about zombies and keeps him entertained while doing so. The illustrations in this book are amazing. The rhymes are cute. I'm so glad there is a children's book about zombies. Then after m oldest son is done with the book. His little brother can read it. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rock Angel: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Jeanne Bogino Page; Review: AH-mazing novel. Rock Angel has to be with out a doubt on my top favorite books and I read alot. The characters are wonderful and it feels like you grow to know them personally. The time the book takes place is perfect. The 90's, a band, a family. I read this book in only 2 days and I went through a night reading this because I could not put it down. I will be rereading it very soon. When the second book comes out I will be all over it. This book had me going through so many emotions. Sad, happy, angry, tears, smiles, and laughter. You will not be disappointed. Give it a read and you'll agree. :) Thanks Jeanne Bogino. Your writing is fantastic. I love your book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Archer's Voice; Author: Visit Amazon's Mia Sheridan Page; Review: I couldn't get enough of this book. The story was just so wonderful. I laughed and i cried throughout this book. I love Bree and Archer and the chemistry they have with each other. Archer is so sexy and so sweet. The sex scenes in the book, wow, they are awesome! It felt like I know these character personally. I will be reading this book again. I had many all nighters reading this. I had a hard time putting the bookmark in. I just wanted to keep reading. Mia Sheridan is one amazing writer. I am definitely buying another book from her. This was my first book from her and now I just want more. Archer's Voice was.....perfect :); Rating: 5.0/5.0

I am now on the second book of the series and I am so excited. This was easily a 5 star. You want to read a book that has amazing sex scenes, vampires and a wonderful story, this is your book. C.C. Wood is an incredible writer. Thank you so much for writing these books. <3; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Samantha Who?: Season 1; Brand: Christina Applegate; Review: I have always loved Christina since "Married, With Children". She has great comic timing and in "Samantha Who?", she once again just blew me away. I can't believe this show only had a two-season run. Another of my favorites, actually over Christina (sorry, Christina) is Melissa MacCarthy as her childhood friend in this show. Melissa never ceases to amaze me, especially in "Bridesmaids" and her own show "Mike & Molly". Lastly, let us not forget Jean Smart who is ALWAYS.....ah...smart in everything she does. What talent. I recommend "Samantha Who?" to people who enjoy sharp, biting wit delivered by some of the finest comic actors of our time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hot in Cleveland: Season 3; Brand: Valerie Bertinelli; Review: I loved seasons one and two, and season three is now included in the love fest. These girls work their genius off with every episode. Sharp writing is the key. The writers, very obviously, share the great one-liners with all the cast members, which makes them all unforgettable. They all have their moment in the spotlight. Thanks, girls, for the fun.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Musicares Tribute to Barbra Streisand; Brand: Various; Review: Ok. Pretty good performances. Well, Stevie at the end with "People"....ah.....I don't think so. Definitely not the best song for him. The surprise of the evening was Faith Hill singing "Send in the Clowns". What a knockout performance. Barbra's two songs were excellent, as always. But if she won an award, or if there was an award, why wasn't she presented with it....or introduced before she sang....or SOMETHING??? She just ended up being just another singer instead of taking a bow for her achievement in receiving the tribute. I felt cheated.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Good Morning World; Brand: Ronnie Schell; Review: To put it bluntly, this is NOT a funny show. They tried their hardest to make it work. But the scripts were just too juvenile and.....well......just not funny. But it was good to see these people again. I remember them well.....and fondly.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Lotsa Luck - The Complete Series; Brand: Dom DeLuise; Review: Dom DeLuise cracks me up. This show did not. Bad writing. Somewhat depressing. But I do admire these fine actors really trying their best to make it funny. For them, 5 stars.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Everybody Loves Raymond: Season 2; Brand: Ray Romano; Review: One of the great sitcoms. I hated Ray Romano's whiny nasal voice. It drove me crazy. But the supporting cast made it all worth while. Good writing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Everybody Loves Raymond: Season 4; Brand: Ray Romano; Review: I say the same thing on all seasons of Raymond. Great writing. Great supporting cast. Hate Ray's whiny nasal voice. It's annoying. But the supporting cast makes it all worth while.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Everybody Loves Raymond: Season 5; Brand: Ray Romano; Review: I say the same thing on all seasons. Good writing. Great supporting cast. Can't stand Ray's nasal whiny voice. But the supporting cast makes it all worth while.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Everybody Loves Raymond: Season 6; Brand: Ray Romano; Review: Great show. Great cast. Good writing. The supporting cast is what I love most about the show. Ray's whiny nasal voice gets to me, but the cast makes up for it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Everybody Loves Raymond: Season 7; Brand: Ray Romano; Review: I will give the same review for each season. Love the show. Thought the writing was great. Ray can't act at all. It was the supporting cast that I truly love. They held the show together. Ray was annoying, and too nasal. The nasal drove me crazy. But the supporting cast made it all worth while.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Everybody Loves Raymond: Season 8; Brand: Ray Romano; Review: I say the same thing on all seasons of Raymond. Great writing. Great supporting cast. Ray's nasal whiny voice is annoying, but the supporting cast makes it all worth while.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ellen - The Complete Season Four; Brand: Ellen DeGeneres; Review: I love Ellen seasons one through four. Very funny stuff. And yes, the coming out was well done. Ellen quitting the book shop was very poignant. It was season four that should have ended the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Camelot 30th Anniversary Remastered Edition VHS; Brand: Richard Harris; Review: "Camelot" is truly a masterpiece. I saw it at the movies when it was released and have been in love with it since. It also reflects much of the 60's in the way it was filmed, i.e., scenes with flower-children, the free-love atmosphere, etc. The critics were not kind. But the emotional impact of Richard Harris' incredible persona was very well placed throughout the entire film. Vanessa Redgrave was flawless as the Queen as well. This is a movie that I have viewed more than 50 times. It is one of the greatest love stories ever filmed. It is a fantasy that was filmed with a great deal of care and love...and to those critics who poo-pooed the film, it is obvious to me that you have no heart!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Outer Limits Original Series Volumes 1 - 3; Brand: ; Review: I watched this series on our little black and white television set when I was a kid. I was spooked then. And even now, it still gave me a thrill. It is great seeing all the wonderful actors who were just starting out, too. Ok, so the effects are a bit corny. But you have to remember that this was the early 60's...and television. The story lines are what's important here. There's even a bit of protest against pollution, war and prejudice that is still ongoing today. For all television/movie students, this is a must to watch and study and to see the influence it had for future television spook-a-thons line "The Twilight Zone", "Star-Trek" and others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Solid Gold Cadillac VHS; Brand: Judy Holliday; Review: I love Judy Holliday. She has the most incredible comic timing. It seems effortless. This movie is so Judy. From start to finish, she makes you hold on and applaud the underdog who has a brain and uses it well. I have almost all her movies, either on VHS or DVD and am now replacing the VHS with DVD's. For all who are looking for good, wholesome, clean movies, this is the one for you. It's judy-licious.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Fine Romance - The Complete Collection; Brand: Judi Dench; Review: I love British Comedies. I collect them. I am a huge fan of Judi's. But the writing in this show is just plain dull. The characters are rather bland themselves. I hate to say it, but even Judi's performance is very bland. By the end of the series the first thought was how could this stay on TV as long as it did? From the first season I was not impressed. But I stuck with it hoping it would improve. It's not REALLY bad, just, well, boring.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bosom Buddies - The Complete Series; Brand: Tom Hanks; Review: I remember when this show was on TV. I watched only maybe a few episodes. I wasn't hooked on it. But when I saw it on Amazon, I decided to buy it. When I started to watch it, I realized why I didn't watch it much....just like Three's Company, The Ropers and others. Bad writing. Just not funny. I mean, it's ok. I loved the late Wendie Jo Sperber in this show and have followed her career. Peter Scolari is eh, ok as an actor. I never saw any greatness in him. Tom Hanks is great and I have seen everything he has done. But this show was dull and made Peter and Tom look dull. Wendie was the only one with any life I this show.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Fawlty Towers: The Complete Collection VHS; Brand: John Cleese; Review: I collect British sitcoms. I remember this show when it aired during my college days. I watched this one, along with "Good Neighbors", "To the Manor Born" and such. But I never regarded this as one of the best. I just bought it to round out my collection. I did watch it again and it is as not so funny as I remember. A lot of people disagree with me. I have friends who think this show is one of the top ten best. Sorry. Just didn't get into it. I liked Monty Python, but this one...well, as I said...Eh.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Majority of One VHS; Brand: Rosalind Russell; Review: I love this movie. I saw it in the theatres when it was first out. Rosalind is spectacular. Sometimes, her Jewish accent is just a bit TOO pronounced and heavy, but if you can past that, you will enjoy this movie.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Majority of One; Brand: Mervyn LeRoy; Review: I love this movie. I saw it in the theatres when it was first out. Rosalind is spectacular. Sometimes, her Jewish accent is just a bit TOO pronounced and heavy, but if you can past that, you will enjoy this movie.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mary Tyler Moore Seasons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1-7 Complete Series; Brand: Mary Tyler Moore; Review: I watched MTM faithfully when it was on TV first run. And it still is a great show. And her supporting cast is stellar. Writing awesome. Yes, get all 7 years. NOW!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mama's Family: Season 2; Brand: Vicki Lawrence; Review: Mama's Family cracks me up, plain and simple. I have season one and season two. Good family fun. I watched it the first time it aired and continue loving it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Patty Duke Show: Season 1; Brand: Patty Duke; Review: I watched this show as a kid and always loved it. Ever since "The Miracle Worker" I have been an admirer of Ms. Duke. The show is not hysterically funny, but provides enough laughs to make it a classic. Plus, being so young, and tackling twins with such great finesse, only makes me admire her all the more. Talent beyond her years.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Staircase; Brand: Richard Burton; Review: I felt like this movie could not make up its mind. Is it funny? Is it a drama? Is it supposed to be sending a message? If so, what is it? Wow. I have always wanted to see this movie and now that I have, I wish I hadn't seen it. It depressed me to the point where I did not care to watch another movie for a long while after. It left a bad taste in my mouth. The performances were ok, for what the actors had to work with. I really don't recommend this movie at all unless you are Rex Harrison and Richard Burton fans, which I am and that is the reason I bought it. I will watch it further down the road and see if my opinion changes, but right now, it will just remain a bitter memory.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Patty Duke Show: Season 2; Brand: Patty Duke; Review: She never failed to astound me with her incredible talent. Her portrayal of twins is flawless. The supporting cast is great. The writing is, well, not the strongest but is fairly funny. But the focus is on Patty. Love ya, Patty!! Good solid family entertainment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Patty Duke Show: Season 3; Brand: Patty Duke; Review: Just want to say Thank You, Patty Duke for being so dang talented and putting on one heck of a good show. Loved this show as a kid and love it as an adult. I am a Duke fan and have been for decades. I recommend this show for good clean family entertainment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Skin of Our Teeth: Broadway Theatre Archive; Brand: Diana Bellamy; Review: I'm not a huge fan of this play. I have seen 2 different live productions and would give each one a 3 star rating. But this archive presentation is by far a wonderful journey. I am a huge fan of Rue McClanahan and Harold Gould and this production shows them at their best. Very well done.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: One Foot in the Grave - Complete Series 1-6 1 Foot in the Grave NON-USA FORMAT,; Brand: Richard Wilson; Review: I watched 2 discs and stopped. I laughed maybe 3 times. Scripts were not very funny. The old guy is grumpy and just plain not a nice person and I could not get into it. Maybe if the character had funny, slapstick humor along with the grumpiness, it could work. If I were his wife, I'd walk out. Nope. Can't recommend it. It will go in the garage sale.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: NO JOB FOR A LADY: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION; Brand: Penelope Keith; Review: This could have been funnier. The writing was ok, but not great. It's the writing I blame. But with what goddess Penelope Keith had to work with, she pulled it off with greatness, as always.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Come Back to the 5 & Dime Jimmy Dean Jimmy Dean; Brand: ; Review: I remember seeing this movie many moons ago and remembered that it was a very bizarre experience. When I saw it was on DVD, I picked up a copy and wow, the performances are a knock out. I consider this more of a theatre-piece film than a movie only because of the dialogue that is really finely crafted. I never saw a stage production of it. But if ever I do, I hope it measures up to this fine work. Robert Altman is brilliant as director.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lost in Space - Seasons 1 - 3; Brand: Guy Williams; Review: Ok. This is just plain fun. I watched it religiously as a kid on the ol' black and white, sitting on the living room floor and being swept away by the Robinson's. And even today, I still enjoy the heck out of it. Great family entertainment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Reba; Brand: Reba McEntire; Review: It's the writing that made this show shine. Not to belittle the actors or directors or peeps behind the scenes. But the one-liners are just really well crafted and funny. Besides, Reba is a true American beauty.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman: The Complete Series; Brand: Louise Lasser; Review: I was so excited to see this for sale. I'm kinda ticked off that I bought Season One and waited and waited for the rest. And then they release the whole series. That seems to be happening a lot lately. So, now, I will wait for other shows to do the same thing...especially those shows that have maybe one or two seasons and are missing the rest. ANYWAY, this is a show that I watched in college and laughed a bunch over. And it is still very very funny.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Jeffersons: The Complete Series; Brand: Sherman Hemsley; Review: I love this show. I purchased Seasons 1-6 from Sony. And waited patiently for the rest of the seasons. But no deal. Now, Shout! Factory produces it. Not fair. BUT, for all of us with Seasons 1-6, wait for about another year and you will get this set for half of the $106 when the hype wears off. I just got the entire Taxi Series for $39. So, the Jeffersons will come down in price. Thanks for reading.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Tiger Walks; Brand: Brian Keith; Review: I saw this movie as a kid. As an adult, the message is still there. Treat animals with respect. This is a great movie for families who want to teach their kids good, family values.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: What's Happening: The Complete Series; Brand: Ernest Thomas; Review: Fun Fun Fun. The characters are a delight and the show is just plain family fun. However, Disc One had problems. I cannot view the last 3 episodes. They just stick and do not play and I cannot fast forward thru them. I tried on all 3 of my DVD players, so it is a defect in manufacturing. But all in all, I got to see the majority of them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Odd Couple - The Complete Series, Seasons 1-5; Brand: Jack Klugman; Review: Funny, but I remember it being funnier. It drags in a lot of places. The writing is very good. But the laugh track is a bother, especially when laughter is heard and the lines are just not funny at all. However, the chemistry between the stars really is magical.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Laverne & Shirley: Complete Series Pack; Brand: ; Review: I never watched the show when it aired. Then, I happened to see a show on one of the rerun channels, can't remember which. So, since it was only a little over $50, I bought it. Love it. Except for the last season. When Shirley left the cast, the show fell apart and it was really pretty boring. But the other seasons are great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Love Or Whatever; Brand: Tyler Poelle; Review: Not Region 1. People, pay attention to the region and don't be out the money like I am.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Big Gay Love; Brand: ; Review: Not Region 1. My fault. So to all who order from Amazon, pay attention to the Region. So, I am out the money.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: BearCity; Brand: Kevin E. Smith,Joe Conti Alex Di Dio; Review: This is just plain and simple, a lot of fun. I enjoyed the story, the characters, all of it. And it gives you an honest insight to the Bears.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Southern Baptist Sissies; Brand: Emerson Collins; Review: Emerson Collins needs to learn to edit. This is just way too long and should have been cut. He said the same thing over and over and over. We get it, Emerson!!! But still very good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Vicious: The Finale; Brand: .; Review: I was so sad that there is only one one-hour show as a finale. I was hoping for at least 6 episodes. But it's still great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ellen - The Complete Season Five; Brand: Ellen DeGeneres; Review: Seasons 1 through 4 were great. But in season 5, we get clobbered over the head with I AM GAY. We get it Ellen. But still pretty good, but not as good as the other seasons.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Corpus Christi; Brand: Terrence McNally; Review: Insightful, but I wanted to see the whole play. This is just a biography of the production, not the entire play. But still very entertaining.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: 3-Day Weekend; Brand: Joel Harrison,Gaetano Jones Chris Carlisle; Review: Not really excited about it. Plot was done in so many other films. Script was just ok, not great. Acting was ok. It's just an ok movie. Not a horrible movie, just, eh, ok.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The One; Brand: Ian Novick,Margaret Anne Florence Jon Prescott; Review: Get a box of Kleenex handy. Is he Gay? Is he NOT Gay? Aye, that is the question. The ending had me in tears. It twisted and turned so nicely. Performances and script are top notch. Not to give anything away, but I was happy with all the main characters, doing what they had to do to find happiness. Quite wonderful movie.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grandma; Brand: Lily Tomlin; Review: Wow, what a film!! Lily is impeccable. The supporting cast is wonderful. The script is gorgeous. A good movie.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Daddy; Brand: Gerald McCullouch; Review: This is a GREAT movie. Besides being secretly in love with Gerald McCullouch, this movie will take you to places you might never have been before. It twists and turns without remorse. Beautifully done.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holding the Man; Brand: Ryan Corr; Review: I read the book years ago and didn't want to see them ruin the book. To my surprise, they kept the story intact and it was so very wonderfully executed. The performances are stellar and the script is near perfection. Please, see this movie if you are a Gay couple. I think it will bring you closer together.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Laramie Project VHS; Brand: Christina Ricci; Review: I have seen the play 4 times. It has always moved me. This is a very good production, but I have to admit, not as moving as the play. BUT it still brought me to tears. I recommend this and to show it to young people who perhaps have never been told the story. It's important we keep the story alive. Hate is hate, regardless of sexual preference.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Coffee Date; Brand: Wilson Cruz; Review: Finally a good movie that looks at both the hetero and the homo, honestly and courageously. Is he? No. Well??? No. Ah, yes??? It'll keep you doing that through the entire movie. To be or not to be....that is the question.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Longhorns [DVD]; Brand: ; Review: What a fun movie. I've been updating my Indie Gay Films and this was worth the try.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Portrait of James Dean: Joshua Tree, 1951; Brand: James Preston; Review: This one blew me away. The script is gorgeous. The film is beautifully photographed and framed. The black and white sequences are quite magnificent. It deserved the awards it won.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Such Good People; Brand: Randy Harrison; Review: I'm sorry, but they just tried too hard to make it funny and mysterious and fell short. I have to admit the characters were pretty real. I know some people like them. But it seemed to drag a lot and make the serious parts just quite not fitting in with the rest of the movie. It was jumbled and the twists and turns weren't twisty or turny enough. Good try, but not great.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Waiting In The Wings: The Musical DVD (USA); Brand: Jeffrey A Johns, Rena Strober, Lee Meriwether, Shirley Jones, Sally Struthers, Christopher Atkins, Blake Peyrot, Rebekah Kochan Adam Huss; Review: To put it simply, with tongue in cheek, this movie is just a lot of good ol' fashioned, plain fun. If you go into knit-picking and rolling your eyes, stop the movie, take a breath, and start over. Just go with it for what it is......a fun movie with a good sense of humor.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Open All Hours - Complete Series 1-4 Region2 Requires a Multi Region Player; Brand: ; Review: I love all the old British comedy series, 'To the Manor Born', 'Good Neighbors', 'Waiting for God', and now I have 'Open All Hours' added to my DVD collection. Fun. Funny. Great characters. Good writing. A glass of wine and a British comedy series playing on the Telly. Heaven. I recommend this show to all old British comedy series' fans.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tea and Sympathy VHS; Brand: Deborah Kerr; Review: I remember when this movie came out and the Catholic Church banned it. Excellent performances, especially Deborah Kerr that lit up the screen. The play and movie both were masterfully done. I recommend it for people who want classics in their collections.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: This So-Called Disaster; Brand: Sam Shepard; Review: Wonderful look at rehearsals in a real theatre setting. I did not like Sam Shepard's play but this movie depicts the directing and acting part of the process up until opening night. It was interesting watching the different styles of acting each actor lived while getting to the core of the play. I thought the play itself, having read it, is a disjointed mess and a screaming match between characters being Shepard's way to write drama. It's that way in most of his plays. But I really suggest to young actors to watch this movie and study the actors creating their characters.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Caroline in the City: Season 2; Brand: Malcolm Gets; Review: Loved 'Caroline'. I have Seasons one and two. Hey, guys, where are the rest of the seasons?!?!? I guess they stopped at Season 2 and now we will have to wait for Shout Factory to do a whole set of all seasons and for us Caroline fans to shell out more money for the entire series, including re-buying Seasons one and two. But Seasons one and two that are available are great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Calling; Brand: Susan Sarandon; Review: I have been really getting into Indie Films and this one is exceptional. The story is disturbing and is graphic horror in some instances. BUT, the characters are rich and exciting and the script is a twisty-turny ride. Topher Grace has come a long way since Eric Foreman. He again has proven his talents in this movie. If you like a really involved murder mystery, buy it. I hope you like it as much as I do.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Go Go Crazy; Brand: Hedda Lettuce; Review: Same old drag queen jokes. Nothing new there. Same old backstage story. The vomit scene is a real turn off, not funny at all. Didn't much care for the dancers at all. Hmmmmm, maybe I should have given this 2 stars. I gave it away to a friend. Don't care to see it again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Bose Wave Radio II Graphite Gray W/ Remote; Brand: Bose; Review: Bose has a great customer service department that wants to keep you a bose customer for life. So when my original Wave radio kicked the bucket after 9 years, I called them up and took the offer for the trade in upgrade with a minimal fee. The old unit had user friendly buttons while this requires the remote and nothing else which I can live with. This requires an antenna while the old unit did not. Now this kicker, they took away the second alarm time setting! What kind of upgrade is this? The original one came with 2 alarms and this one has only one that requires the remote to use as the snooze button. I am extremely curious about what these knuckle heads were thinking?; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: TotalMount Apple TV Mount - Compatible with all Apple TVs including Apple TV 4K; Brand: TotalMount; Review: See the attached photo to see the poor quality control that has been implemented as a cost cutting measure. This product includes screws that can not be used! I am able to say this product does work, but only after driving to the hardware store and purchasing new screws.

Title: Tuff Protect Anti-glare Screen Protectors Pioneer AVIC-8200nex Car-Indash Player; Brand: Tuff Protect Screen Protectors; Review: First, this product arrived quickly. The only bad I have to say is that the foul was bent on both sheets. In order to avoid waiting longer I massaged it and made it work (I hope it stays). The film fit perfectly, I was initially nervous it maybe scratched but that was just the backing. Another reviewer mentioned this is a dull finish which it is. It's more of an anti-glare finish which worked out really well for me but may it for others. I will attach photos to illustrate how much of an anti-glare/anti-reflective this screen protector is. The capacitive touch screen works flawlessly with the screen attached as expected.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Infinity REF3022CFX 3.5" 75W Reference Series Coaxial Car Speakers With Edge-driven Textile Tweeter, Pair; Brand: Infinity; Review: The speakers sound great but unlike any set of speakers I have ever opened (I used to install stereos professionally and on a high end competitive level), this came with no wires, documentation, nothing except the bass blockers. Pretty disappointing but the speakers do sound decent. Price is a little high.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Williamsburg Historic Area; City: Williamsburg Virginia; Review: Stayed here this past weekend (7/26/2014) for a family reunion. The price was reasonable, about $94. There was some rust in the bathroom and on the radiator. Good place to stay if only for a day. Staff was friendly; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Gaylord National Resort Convention Center; City: National Harbor Maryland; Review: The staff was nice and very accommodating. I stayed this past weekend so they still had holiday decorations up; they were beautiful! The hotel is a bit pricey, but if you find a good deal, definitely take advantage of it. The hotel is also conveniently located near lots of great restaurants and a Tanger Outlet Mall.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cape Cod Irish Village; City: South Yarmouth Yarmouth Cape Cod Massachusetts; Review: I stayed here in May of this year. The hotel staff was very friendly; however, the rooms were not that clean when we arrived. There were strands of blonde hair in the shower, which means that it was not cleaned before our arrival. Several people in our party had the same issue. Besides that, the food was pretty decent and worth the price.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch; City: Scottsdale Arizona; Review: I stayed here two weeks ago for a conference my job was having. From the moment I got out of the car, their staff was accommodating. The staff was very friendly. At first, it seemed a little weird because that's not always the norm. After having several interactions with the staff, I realized they just wanted to ensure my stay was memorable. The food was delicious, and so were the drinks. There was a nice view from just about every corner of the hotel. The highlight of my stay was the gondola ride. We went at night, and it was so relaxing to be on the water while being serenaded.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sofitel Melbourne on Collins; City: Melbourne Victoria; Review: Overall, I'd say that this hotel is a 4.5-star hotel. What I like most about this hotel is it's location to great restaurants, tourist attractions, high-end stores, and the stunning views of Melbourne. Rooms The rooms were okay, but the views from the room were spectacular. My travel companion had an issue with the size of the bed. The room we stayed in had two twin beds. While I was a bit surprised at the size of our beds, I was pleased with the comfortableness of them. Bathroom Out of all the hotels I've stayed in, I think this bathroom was the worst one. Visually it was appealing, but I'd much rather have a bathroom that is easy to move around in and comfortable than one that looks good. What I hated most about the bathroom was that the tub and shower were small. There was a partial partition that I'm assuming was supposed to replace the shower curtain. I would've much rather had a sliding door instead of the partial glass partition, or just a shower. Dining In the morning, I'd eat off the breakfast buffet. It was a pretty decent buffet with lots of food and drink options. There are plenty of places to eat near the hotel, so if you don't want to eat breakfast at the hotel, you can always walk to a nearby restaurant or take the tram to one. **Wifi is not free at the hotel unless you are a member of Le Club Accor Hotels**; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: LaPlaya Beach Golf Resort A Noble House Resort; City: Naples Florida; Review: I stayed at this hotel while attending a conference for work. The views from the room are beautiful.

Title: Millennium Copthorne Hotels at Chelsea Football Club; City: London England; Review: I stayed here last month, and I will stay here again the next time I'm in London.

Title: Mercure Hotel Amsterdam City; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: Out of the five countries I visited in Europe last month, Amsterdam was my favorite.

The breakfast buffet had a vast assortment of fruits, fresh juices, and options for all dietary needs.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Dickies Men's 1-1/2 Solid Straight Clip Suspender; Brand: ; Review: Haven't worn these since the 80s when they were all the rage in sitcoms. (Michael Landon, as "Pa" on Little House on the Prairie, John Boy on The Waltons, and Grandpa Jones on Hee-Haw didn't start the craze, btw). These were worn back in the 80s because they were comfortable and were something different than the usual fashion. Even the gals wore them!! These particular suspenders are well made and fit perfectly. Snaps hold tightly and are of good quality. Black looks great with most of what I wear, but I'll be buying several different colors and styles very soon. Try a pair!!! Go ahead, be different! Be yourself!!! Free yourself from the tyranny of belts and belt loops!! Suspenders are not that expensive. You will love how easy they are to wear and how much more comfortable they make you feel. They look just as good in the office as they do outdoors!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Not much difference between the luminous feature on this watch and watches back when that technology was first invented. At first exposure to light, the luminous dial is easy to read in darkness . After an hour or so, it is extremely difficult to read the watch in darkness. Other than this one slight disappointment, I am very happy with it!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: The Aristocrat's Lady (Love Inspired Historical); Author: Visit Amazon's Mary Moore Page; Review: I found The Aristocrat's Lady very interesting from beginning to end. You know from the start that Nicole Beaumont has a disability that she believes disqualifies her for marriage, but I wasn't able to figure out what that disability was. I only found out when it was revealed in the story. For anyone who enjoys reading stories about Regency England, I think they will enjoy this story as well. This is the first book I've read by Mary Moore, but I would recommend it to everyone. I'm certainly looking forward to more books written by her for Love Inspired Historical. Like all the Love Inspired books, this story contains good clean, Christian romance between Nicole and Lord Devlin. You know everything will work out right in the end, but it's how that happens that makes for a really good story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Rookie's Assignment (Fitzgerald Bay); Author: Visit Amazon's Valerie Hansen Page; Review: I was extremely impressed with this second book in the Fitzgerald Bay series, as much as I was with the other five books in the series. As the back cover says, Fitzgerald Bay: Law enforcement siblings fight for justice and family. I have read and enjoyed many continuity series from Love Inspired Suspense and this series is at the top of the list as far as I'm concerned. Keira and Nick, the two main characters in this story, are both strong characters, with Keira trying to do her job (she's a rookie cop) while working with Nick, who is an undercover cop there to discover if the Fitzgerald family is covering up information to protect Charles, Keira's brother, who is a suspect in Olivia's murder. Nick has no faith for much of the story, but he finds it before the end of the story, so he and Keira are a perfect match for each other. I would recommend this book and series to anyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Black Sheep's Redemption (Fitzgerald Bay); Author: Visit Amazon's Lynette Eason Page; Review: I was as impressed with this fifth book in the Fitzgerald Bay series as I was with the other five books in the series. Lynette Eason is an excellent author, as are the other five authors in this series. As the back cover says, Fitzgerald Bay: Law enforcement siblings fight for justice and family. I have read and enjoyed many continuity series from Love Inspired Suspense and this series is at the top of the list as far as I'm concerned. Charles and Demi, the two main characters in this story, are both strong characters with their own problems. Charles is a suspect in the murder of his nanny, Olivia Henry. Demi becomes his new nanny, but she has her own problems because of amnesia. Through faith and love they are able to overcome the problems they face in order to be together in the end. I would recommend this book and the entire series to anyone. I also think it helps to read all 6 books at the same time, as I did. Then you can really follow the continuity of the characters and events in the stories.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Detective's Secret Daughter (Fitzgerald Bay); Author: Visit Amazon's Rachelle McCalla Page; Review: I was as impressed with this third book in the Fitzgerald Bay series as I was with the other five books in the series. As the back cover says, Fitzgerald Bay: Law enforcement siblings fight for justice and family. I have read and enjoyed many continuity series from Love Inspired Suspense and this series is at the top of the list as far as I'm concerned. Owen and Victoria, the two main characters in this story, are both strong characters, with Victoria trying to do the right thing and tell Owen about the 9-year-old daughter he doesn't know he has while Owen works to solve Olivia's murder and clear his brother Charles as a suspect. Owen and Victoria have to work through the many problems from their past as well as the present, but they are able to do it through their faith and their love for each other and their daughter. I would recommend this book and the entire series to anyone. I also think it helps to read all 6 books at the same time, as I did.

Title: The Lawman's Legacy (Fitzgerald Bay); Author: Visit Amazon's Shirlee McCoy Page; Review: I was extremely impressed with this first book in the Fitzgerald Bay series, as much as I was with the other five books in the series. As the back cover says, Fitzgerald Bay: Law enforcement siblings fight for justice and family. I have read and enjoyed many continuity series from Love Inspired Suspense and this one is at the top of the list as far as I'm concerned. Douglas and Merry, the two main characters in this story, are both strong characters, with Douglas working to discover Merry's secret while trying to find Olivia's killer and clear his brother Charles of being the suspect in her murder. Their faith and love conquer all with a happy ending for them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Widow's Protector (Fitzgerald Bay); Author: Visit Amazon's Stephanie Newton Page; Review: I was as impressed with this fourth book in the Fitzgerald Bay series as I was with the other five books in the series. Stephanie Newton is an excellent author, as are the other five authors in this series. As the back cover says, Fitzgerald Bay: Law enforcement siblings fight for justice and family. I have read and enjoyed many continuity series from Love Inspired Suspense and this series is at the top of the list as far as I'm concerned. Fiona and Hunter, the two main characters in this story, are both strong characters, with the widowed Fiona trying to raise her 6-year-old son alone, but she also has the support of her life-long "friend". It was wonderful to see Fiona and Hunter get through the trials they face and find the love meant for them. I would recommend this book and series to anyone. I also think it helps to read all 6 books at the same time, as I did. Then you can really follow the continuity of the characters and events in the stories.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Whispers on the Prairie (Pioneer Promises); Author: Visit Amazon's Vickie McDonough Page; Review: Vickie McDonough has done it again--written a great story. This one starts in 1868 Kansas with a tragedy involving Ethan Harper. Then it moves to 1870 Chicago where we meet Sarah Marshall, our heroine, her Aunt Emma and Uncle Harvey. Aunt Emma is a wonderful person, but that's not true of Uncle Harvey. When Sarah is forced to go with them to Santa Fe, New Mexico, she is bound and determined to go back to Chicago. Well...circumstances conspire against Sarah's plans. She and her aunt end up staying with the Harper family (mother Karen, father Nick and 3 sons, Aaron, Josh & Ethan) at their stage stop. Ethan is the one made for Sarah, and has feelings for her that confuse him, but he has his two brothers to contend with, especially Aaron who needs a mother for his two children, Corrie and Toby. You know Sarah will find her happy ending, but it keeps you wondering how it will come about. I loved all the characters in this story--Aunt Emma loves Sarah and wants the best for her; Karen loves her family and has such insight into her sons' feelings; Nick is a wise and loving father; Aaron, Josh and Ethan are men who are handsome and strong, yet caring and gentle. You can't help but love Corrie (age 6) and Toby (age 4) with their ability to play and have fun, but do the chores required of them. I can hardly wait for Book 2 and 3 of this Pioneer Promises series. I want to see who Josh and Aaron will find for wives because all three Harper sons deserve to live happily-ever-after with women who love them. I'm grateful to Vickie McDonough and her publisher for providing me with this book to read and review. I expected a wonderful story and I certainly wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed it from beginning to end.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Call of the Prairie (Pioneer Promises); Author: Visit Amazon's Vickie McDonough Page; Review: Vickie McDonough has done it again. Call of the Prairie is the 2nd book in the Pioneer Promises series and a terrific read. This book can be read as a stand-alone story, but it's about Josh Harper, the second of the three Harper boys. Follow Josh and Sophie Davenport's story as they get to know and love each other in Windmill, Kansas, in 1873. Josh is the bank manager, taking care of his niece and nephew so they can go to school in town. Sophie has been overprotected her entire life because of suffering from asthma. All she has wanted for years is some freedom to be herself and do what she wants. She finally gets her chance when her Aunt Maude needs help and Sophie is the only one available to go. Things aren't quite what Sophie expected, though. Her aunt is much sicker than anyone thought and she finds out she also has to take care of 5 children and the house, as well as her aunt. On top of all that, she battles some asthma attacks and some mysterious things happening in the house. Sophie is able to grow as a person as she learns to cook, clean and care for the children and her aunt, things she has never been allowed to do before. Sophie is attracted to both Josh and Wade Barnes, but only one is right for her. Josh and Sophie are wonderful characters--both of them strong, kind, loving and caring people. It's a joy to watch their love for each bloom and grow. It's fun to see the different children and how Sophie interacts with each one. It's great to see how Mikey (one of the children and a trouble-maker) changes. I was given a free copy of this book by the author to read and review. I enjoyed this story from beginning to end and would recommend it to everyone, especially those who enjoy stories of the West.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Baby Rescue (Witness Protection); Author: Visit Amazon's Margaret Daley Page; Review: Margaret Daley has done it again. She is a marvelous author and has given us another great suspense story. The Baby Rescue is the 2nd book in a 6-book continuity series. I read the 1st book in the series so I had some idea of the characters in this one, but The Baby Rescue can also be read as a stand-alone book. Colton Phillips and Lisette Sutton are great characters--Colton is a Deputy U.S. Marshal and Lisette is an FBI Agent. She goes by the book and he does what he has to do to get the job done, whether it's by the book or not. They say opposites attract, which turns out to be true in this case. Their assignment is to protect Don Saunders, a true low-life person now in the Witness Protection Program, in order to find the middle man in a baby-smuggling ring. Colton and Lisette grow closer as they try to keep Don under their control while he receives a baby to be sold to someone else, the idea being to catch someone above Don's level in this "organization." Needless to say, all their plans went awry. This story has car chases, car crashes, suspense, intrigue, mystery, romance and lots of twists and turns. I was surprised the way a lot of things went. Besides the suspense of the story, you also see Colton and Lisette open up to each other about their pasts and watch romance blossom between them. It kept me interested from beginning to end. I received a free copy from the author to review this story, but I honestly believe this is a wonderful book and would recommend it to anyone and everyone to read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deadly Secret: A Tale From The Ohio Valley; Author: Visit Amazon's Sharon A Lavy Page; Review: I don't usually read stories set in our modern time, but I was kept interested/intrigued from the first page to the last. This is a book I would recommend to everyone. The story moves fast, going from one person to another and one situation to another, so you're never sure what is going to happen from one page to the next. Danni Wagoner, her best friend Evalena Davidson and Peter Neper are the main characters, but there are so many others who add to the plots and you're not always sure who is good and who is actually bad. You meet Dannis husband Chris, daughter Michelle and mother Irene, Evalenas husband Brian and daughter Lauren, Petes father Quentin and his Aunt Grace, among others. Morphine vials go missing from the cancer unit, but then reappear. Four murders are committed. There are problems in the sanitation department Pete is in charge of. Chris is suspected of dealing drugs and Danni falls under that cloud of suspicion. Evalena, going against her German Baptist beliefs not to get involved with the law, tries to help Danni solve the mysteries surrounding them. It is suspenseful and riveting. I suspected one person as the murderer, but changed my mind, then found out at the end I was right to start with. This is one of the best suspense stories Ive ever read. I was given a copy of this book by the author to read and review it. I'm very grateful for that because otherwise I would have missed out on a great story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: First Kisses (Inspy Kisses) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Linda Goodnight Page; Review: There are six stories in this one book, all by wonderful authors. You find cowboys, truck drivers, mystery, suspense, and romance. Each story is separate from the others. Even if some of the stories don't sound like what you usually read, I think youll enjoy all of them. I know I did. The Ramblers Bride by Linda Goodnight Dont miss reading this one. Linda Goodnight has written another great story. Jericho North comes to the homestead seeking revenge on his sister-in-law, Esther. He thinks of her as the harlot who had killed his brother. He knows she worked in a saloon and he is sure she somehow tricked his brother into marrying her. Boy, is he in for some surprises. First, he intervenes between Esther and her cousins powerful husband, Theodore Theo Perkins, who owns the saloon in town. To stop trouble between the two men, Esther throws herself into Jerichos arms and kisses him. What a shock that kiss is for both of them. Then he finds out he is the uncle of a precious little boy named Samuelnot doubt about it, he is his brothers son. With time spent together, Jericho has to revise his opinion about Esther. She isn't what he thought her to be. She is a kind, caring, loving person, who loves her son and her land. Soon they grow close and work together to out-smart Theo, who is trying to force Esther to sell her land to him. See how it all works out and they get their happily-ever-after ending. Lovebirds at the Heartbreak Caf by Janet Tronstad This modern day story is not what I usually read, but I have to say I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The story is set in 1958 in a small townnot much more than a dozen old clapboard houses, a two-story general store in need of paint, a gas station with one pump, a wide swath of tumbleweeds, and the Heartbreak Cafe and Hotel (the hotel being a rusty trailer parked behind the caf). Meet the main characters, truck drive Buddy Hamilton and Penny Rose and her six children. But then theres Fred, the caf owner; Granny, who owns the general store, and her granddaughter Irene; Lizzie, who runs the gas station, but also cuts hair, gives perms and fixes truck engines when not busy; Shades, also a truck driver; plus a lot of other wonderful truck drivers and townspeople. Watch romance blossom between Buddy and Penny while they deal with lifes problemsBuddy dealing with feelings from his past and now wanting to buy a ranch; Penny needing to work and care for her children. Buddy has an idea to help Penny and her family, so with the help of other truck drivers and people from around town, they put the plan into action. See how their faith and hard work lead to success. See how Buddy and Penny get the happily-ever-after ending theyve both dreamed about. Her Mule Hollow Cowboy by Debra Clopton Mule Hollow is a great place to visit and every story about it; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dangerous Pursuit (The Protectors Book 1) - Kindle edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Margaret Daley Page; Review: Another great story by Margaret Daley. Samantha (Sam) Prince is happy and content as the owner of a bookstore in New Orleans. She is not the adventurous type like her brother Mark. That is until she gets a call from Mark in Brazil. Hes in big trouble and needs some money right away, but tells her that if anything happens, he hid something valuable at the Para Mission. When he doesnt pick up the money Samantha sends, shes on a plane within 48 hours (totally out of character for her) and heads to Manaus, Brazil to find her brother. Mark is no longer at the Grand Hotel (a dump by most standards) and she cant communicate with the hotel clerk or anyone else since she doesnt speak Portuguese and they don't speak English. In steps our hero, Brock Slader. He helps interpret and spends one day trying to find Mark, but he keeps telling her he doesnt rescue damsels in distress. Famous last words. As Sam and Brock go into the Amazon jungle of Brazil searching for Mark, or at least to find what he hid at the Para Mission, trouble is all they find.

Title: Her Texas Cowboy (New Horizon Ranch) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Debra Clopton Page; Review: Mule Hollow is a great place to visit and every story about it is fun to read. This one is no exception. Youll love Maddie Rose and Cliff Masterson, although there are also other great characters in the story. Maddie is one of five owners of the New Horizon ranch. Cliff is a professional bull rider, coming to visit his twin brother Rafe, and looking to buy a ranch in the Mule Hollow area. The story starts with Maddie trying to load an ornery bull named Buford into a trailer, but that job ends with Maddie in the dirt, ready to be trampled by Buford. You can imagine what would have happened if Cliff hadnt arrived just then to save the day. There is instant chemistry between them when Cliff helps Maddie up off the ground, but sparks fly almost immediately. He criticizes and she automatically bristles. That seems to be the pattern whenever they're together. Maddie is afraid to open her heart to Cliff because shes had too many people leave her in the past. Shes sure hell leave to go back to the rodeo circuit. Cliff knows Maddie has some kind of issues, so he goes slowly to win her heart and, needless to say, his efforts meet with success. I enjoyed this story and Im sure you will too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blind Trust: A Novel (Port Aster Secrets) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Sandra Orchard Page; Review: This is a story you don't want to miss reading. This is book two in the Port Aster Secrets series. Youll meet Kate Adams and Detective Tom Parker again (from Deadly Devotion, book one of this series). Kate was a murder suspect in Deadly Devotion and now shes a suspect in a counterfeiting operation. What else can you think when shes caught passing counterfeit money? Of course, she got it from her sweet, elderly neighbor-lady. Can she be one of the counterfeiters? Sandra Orchard has woven several different plots into this story, including a potential murderer. Of course, Kates in the middle of it all, sometimes interfering in Toms investigationsjust like she did in Deadly Devotion. I was kept guessing from the beginning to the end trying to figure out who all the bad guys are. Of course, then you have the continuing attraction between Kate and Tom. Kate still has a few trust issues, but shes getting much, much better about them. I can hardly wait for book three in this series to see what other mysteries and situations arise for Kate and Tom! Im guessing that Kates going to be in the middle of some police investigation again. What will it be this time? I received a copy of this book from the publisher to read and give my honest opinion of the story. I give it a 5-star thumbs-up! If you haven't read Deadly Devotion yet, be sure and read it, preferably first so this story doesnt spoil your guessing who the murderer is in that book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: A Shameless Angel (Secrets of the Zodiac) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Elizabeth Cole Page; Review: If you like stories set in the Regency period, with mystery, intrigue and romance, I think youll want to read this one. Its the third book in the Secrets of the Zodiac series. The two main characters areTheodore (Theo) Drayton, Lord Markham, and Sarah Brecknell, a bluestocking and expert at numbers and codes.

In the process of working together on decoding Charlies notebooks, Sarah finds out Charlie wasn't the person she thought he was. They have to figure out what Charlie had hidden while trying to keep Sarah safe. There is a lot of suspense in this story and a surprising ending you don't want to miss. The only negative thing I might say about this book is that there are two chapters with sex in them. If you don't want that in your story, you can skip them like I did. Except for that, I loved the whole story plot from beginning to end, especially as it continues on with other members of the Zodiac. I would certainly recommend this book to others. I was given an advance copy of the book for my honest opinion, but also bought a copy myself.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Gabriel's Atonement (Land Rush Dreams); Author: Visit Amazon's Vickie McDonough Page; Review: This is book 1 in the Land Rush Dreams series. The story takes place in 1889 at the time of the Oklahoma land rush. Gabe Coulter is an honest gambler who is happy with his life, but things change after he is forced to kill Tom Talbot in self defense and learns that Tom has a wife and son. Lara Talbot takes care of her 4-year-old son Michael, her sister Joline and her ailing grandfather. They live in a sod shack with virtually nothing; Lara takes in mending to provide for her family. Because of his guilt, Gabe goes to Laras hometown of Caldwell, Kansas, determined to help her and Michaelhe doesnt know about Joline or grandpabut has to do it carefully because Lara will not accept charity. Circumstances force Lara and her family to move and with no place to go, they join thousands of others to hopefully get land in Oklahoma. Needless to say, Gabe also goes to the Oklahoma border and places himself near Lara for the race. Follow the struggles they go through just to survive each day and then the race to find land to claim. See how Gabe and Lara draw closer to each other, then deal with both Silas Stone (an evil man) and Gabes confession about her husbands death. Through the descriptions in this story, I could picture what it was like for all the people trying to get the free land in Oklahomathe crowded conditions, the anxiety of not knowing if they would be successful or not, the wait for weeks before the start of the race. For many it was their only hope for the future. For some, failure meant nowhere to go. For others, failure meant returning to their original homes. It made me truly feel for these families so desperate for land of their own to build homes or businesses. I didn't like Laras sister Joline because she was spoiled, selfish, had to be pushed to help Lara and the family, and didn't appreciate all that Lara did to provide for all of them, but I have hopes for her in book 2 of this series, which is called Jolines Redemption. I received this book from the publisher to read and give an honest review, which I have done. Vickie McDonough is a great author and I would recommend this book to others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hearts Made Whole (Beacons of Hope); Author: Visit Amazon's Jody Hedlund Page; Review: This story includes love, mystery, suspense, sadness, and the human spirit overcoming personal demons. In May 1865, twenty-year-old Caroline Taylor is forced to take responsibility for her four siblings and the running of the Windmill Point Lighthouse when her father drowns crossing Lake St. Clair, Michigan. Then four months later she is told she must leave within a week to make room for the new lighthouse keeper, Ryan Chambers, a Civil War veteran recovering from serious wounds gotten during the war. The problem is that Caroline has nowhere to go and no job available to her. Then she discovers that not only does Ryan know practically nothing about running a lighthouse, but he is addicted to pain pills and alcohol, making him even less reliable for the job. While Caroline teaches Ryan what to do, and tries to help him overcome his addictions, many suspicious things start happening, some upsetting and others life-threatening (I don't want to give the events away). Who could be doing these things? Watch Ryan become the person he wants and needs to be and Caroline overcome her anxieties and worries, so they can find the love that they find with each other. I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review, which I have given. I would recommend this book to everyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The House at Homecoming Cove (Romantic Ghost Stories) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Ginny Baird Page; Review: Great story! Do you believe in ghosts? Maybe not now, but you might by the time you finish this story. Melissa Carter has rented a 100-year-old house at Homecoming Cove in eastern Virginia to work on her music in peace and quiet. Instead, she finds Stone Thomas, the handsome groundskeeper, and some very disturbing eventspiano playing with no one there being just one (and the least threatening) of all of them. Melissa and Stone are instantly attracted to each other, but the mysterious, unexplained events surrounding them seem to be trying to tear them apart. Who will winMelissa, Stone or the ghosts? I was surprised, but very pleased, when I found out the source and purpose of the mysterious happenings. I think you will be too, which is why I would recommend this book to everyone.

Title: Honor & Roses (Swordcross Knights); Author: Visit Amazon's Elizabeth Cole Page; Review: Great story from beginning to end! If you like knights, damsels in distress, intrigue, mystery, love, surprises, and more, this is the book for you. Lady Cecily de Vere loves her childhood friend Alric of Hawkesmere, but a noble lady is not destined to marry a mere knight. Or is she? Watch how their rocky road to happily-ever-after comes to be. Cecily is truly a ladysomeone to admire. She is not only beautiful, but kind-hearted and caring towards others, but also strong when she needs to be. As expected, Alric is a great knight, honorable to his king, his liege lord and protective to those he loves and cares for. There are a couple of unexpected twists in the story, which made it even better than it was. The only negative thing I might say is that, if you don't like sex scenes, there are a couple you will need to skip over, like I did. Except for that, I would recommend this book to anyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Fool and His Monet (Serena Jones Mysteries); Author: Visit Amazon's Sandra Orchard Page; Review: This is not my usual reading genre, but I loved it from beginning to end. Serena Jones is an FBI agent, but unlike many others. The story starts with her being undercover and dealing with two art thieves she named Baldy and Sidekicknot nice characters. However, the main story is how she goes about finding the person(s) who stole a valuable painting from a local museum where her friend Zoe is the temporary head of security. Follow Serena as she goes through interviews with museum employees, following leads and wrong leads, and murder, with lots and lots of humor sprinkled throughout the whole story. The characters are beyond amazingfirst of all, the main men in her life are Nathan (Nate) Butler, her building superintendent; Tanner Calhoun, her FBI trainer, mentor and friend; Billy Cox that she had a crush on at age 8. Then there are her mother who just wants Serena to get married and have babies; her Aunt Martha who loves a mystery, gets involved with a loan shark/mob guy, says Nate is a keeper and says Tanner is too old; and I think my favorite character of all, Serenas cat Harold. The shenanigans of Harold, Aunt Martha, Serena and the others kept me laughing off and on the whole time, even with theft and murder involved. This is a must-read. I received a free copy of this book to read for my honest review, which I have given.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: A Cantata of Love (The Code Breaker Series) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Jacki Delecki Page; Review: This is the 4th book in this series. Michael Harcourt, Earl of Kendal, a linguist and code breaker, is in France on a covert assignment for England when he is injured trying to escape France with a young boy. That boy turns out to be Miss Gabrielle (Gabby) De Valmont, a Marquis daughter, also in danger from Napoleon and Fouches men.

He has to find out if she is the one sending messages to France through her operas. You will find spies, intrigue, mysteries, twists and turns, surprises, love, and wonderful characters. I loved all the characters, but especially the unusual and unconventional (at least in private) Aunt Euphemia. If you love the Regency period, I think youll enjoy this story as much as I did. There are only a couple of sex scenes, which are easy to skip over. After reading this story, I would like to read the first three books of this series. I received a complimentary copy of this book to read and give my honest opinion, which I have done.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: How to Capture a Duke (Matchmaking for Wallflowers) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Bianca Blythe Page; Review: You often get in trouble by telling a lie, and Fiona Amberly has told a whopper.

Title: Aura of Magic: Unexpected Magic Book Four (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Rice Page; Review: Aaron Pascoe-Ives (called Pascoe), Lady Carstairs and Pascoes almost four-year-old twins, Emma and Edward, are the main characters, but I also loved Aster, Asters husband Lord Theo, and Celeste. Lady Carstairs was forced to leave her home by the new earl after her husbands death and is now living at Asters castle. Pascoe has been sent to Northbridge to try to negotiate a settlement between miners (led by Lady Carstairs brother Fin) and Lord Carstairs. While trying to do that he has to deal with Lady Carstairs (a midwife who has been called a witch) and his children, who keep disappearing. Then add the fact that Lady Carstairs has the ability of see the auras of spirits, Emma talks to her mothers spirit and Edward can talk to the dogs. They are all an interesting group of people. I loved them all. There are a couple of bedroom scenes you might want to skip (or not), but they were short. This is the first book Ive read in this series, but I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I would like to read the first three books. I received a complimentary copy of this book to read for my honest review, which I have given.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chemistry of Magic: Unexpected Magic Book Five (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Rice Page; Review: Another great story in this series. The two main characters are Lord Dare, who is dying of consumption, and Emilia Malcolm, another of the Malcolm women with a special gift. She has the ability to heal others, but it often saps her strength and has almost killed her in the past. Emilia proposes a marriage of convenience to Lord Dare because it would give him funds he needs to provide for his mother and sisters when hes gone, and it would allow Emilia to get her inheritance. They are both scientific people, so it gives them something in common, and their marriage becomes a real one (a few sex scenes you might want to skip). They have to work through problems with Dares consortium, which needs Emilias land or her cousins land for a railroad, which creates problems between them. There is romance, suspense and more in this story and I think anyone would enjoy it. I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review, which I have given.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Love Beyond Reach: A Scottish Time-Travel Romance (Morna's Legacy Series) (Volume 8); Author: Visit Amazon's Bethany Claire Page; Review: Great, great story. It was even better than I expected. This is Morna and Jerrys story. At the beginning of this book you find out Morna has written her story for the next young woman she wants to help find her true love in the past. However, the story is only from her perspective. Therefore, Jerry writes the story from his perspective. Then the two are put together with notes from Morna placed at different parts of the story. Morna and Cooper place the book where the young woman will find the book and read it. There are memorable charactersher brother Alasdair (so supportive of Mornas magic), her sister-in-law (her friend), her father (unlikable until near the end), and Mary (her closest friend and like a sister). True love doesnt always run smoothly and Morna and Jerrys story is no different. They had to overcome many challenges, but were able to finally find their happily-ever-after. I cant say enough good things about this book. I loved it from beginning to end and loved finding out how it all began. I would recommend this story to everyone. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I plan on going back to read the previous 7 books in this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Will and Aurelia undertake the dangerous mission of finding out who Roses mother is and why someone tried to kill her and her baby.

Will and Aurelia have to work through some issueshe is a loner, a lowly dog trainer and a bastard; she is a dukes daughter with a gift that is also a curse for her. There are a couple of love scenes you might want to skip, but except for those I would recommend this book to everyone. It is a wonderful story of overcoming problems and personal feelings to find and claim the person you love and want to spend the rest of your life with. I enjoyed this book as much as the other books Ive read in this series. I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review, which I have given.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Redeeming the Marquess: Sweet and Clean Regency Romance (His Majesty's Hounds) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Arietta Richmond Page; Review: Georgiana and Cordelia Branley go to the home of Philip, Duke of Rotherhithe, a few weeks before Cordelia and Philip are to be married. The time is also to be used so Georgiana can choose a husband from the many eligible young men the Duke has invited to his home to court her. Can you guess what happens next? Of course, the only man who interests Georgiana is Oliver Kentworthy, Marquess of Dartworth, a man with no money, no prospects, poor clothes, and is ridiculed by the others. In addition, he did manual labor in the Colonies (unthinkable by the tons standards) and likes the Americans and how they live with the freedom they earned. Even the Duke doesnt think he is worthy of Georgiana. Things become very interesting and eventful after Baron Setford and Gerald Otford, Baron of Tillingford (the title held by Georgiana and Cordelias father until his death), arrive at Philips home. Oliver has an altercation with two gentlemen (if you can call them that) and ordered out of the house immediately. Setford and Otford think there is more to the story, but the Duke won't change his mind. The next day Philip chooses a fianc for Georgiana, a very bad choice for her. I won't tell you how it all works out for a happily-ever-after ending, but there are several surprises along the way. Baron Setford is a wonderful and interesting character that I love each time he appears in one of these books in His Majestys Hounds series. With more of Gerald Gerry Otford (one of His Majestys Hounds) in this story, I hope he will get his own story soon. I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series and look forward to more of them. I received an advanced copy of this book for my honest review, which I have given.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Frontier Want Ad Bride (Wilderness Brides); Author: Visit Amazon's Lyn Cote Page; Review: This book is part of the Wilderness Brides series. Judith Jones and her sister Emma arrive in Pepin, Wisconsin in March of 1873 as mail order brides. Although they have corresponded for several months, Judith actually meets her bridegroom, Asa Brant, for the first time when she gets off the stagecoach. Asa didn't realize who his bride really is, and she doesnt recognize him, even though he looks kind of familiar. They are married immediately and head to his farm. Asa is unable to forget his four years in the Civil War, which doesnt allow him to be open with Judith about his thoughts and feelings. This in turn doesnt allow Judith to express her feelings to Asa. The appearance of two runaway orphans, Colton and Lily Farrier, changes all their lives. Asas growing feelings for the children help him slowly overcome his war memories. Asa and Judith want to keep Colton and Lily as part of their family. They also gradually come to love each other, but it takes a long time and a lot of patience on Judiths part. This is a wonderful story that reminded me how love can overcome many obstacles. It is also a clean western, which I appreciate. I received an advanced review copy from the author for my honest opinion, which I have given.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Marked by Fate: Origins: Beginnings. Secrets. Deleted Scenes.; Author: Visit Amazon's Kristin D. Van Risseghem Page; Review: This is a boxed set of 15 storiessupernatural, fantasy, witches, wizards, and more. With this many stories, I think its natural that I enjoyed some more than others, but overall, I liked them all. Only one story lacked any excitement, but the others held my interest. In fact, there were several stories that left me hangingreally wanting to know what happens next. I understand that many of these stories will continue in the Marked By Fate boxed set coming out soon. I look forward to reading those stories, especially the ones that continue the stories I liked the most here.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Love's Harvest : A Regency Romance Harvest Collection: 7 Delightful Regency Romance Harvest Stories (Regency Collections) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Arietta Richmond Page; Review: I think these are wonderful stories you don't want to miss. If you like Regency romance, especially clean stories with no sex, these are for you. I have read other books by some of these authors, who are among my favorites, and now Ive found more authors whose books I want to read. Each story is different because the characters are different, but the one thing they have in common is an HEA ending. Finding the Dukes Heir, part of His Majestys Hounds series, was one of my favorites. You will find Earls and Dukes, ladies of the ton, and women of the lower classes. Regardless of their social status, each couple finds the right person for them. After each story, you can also read the first few chapters of another book by that same author. I would recommend this collection of Regency novellas to everyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Brothers of Brigadier Station; Author: Visit Amazon's Sarah Williams Page; Review: Meghan Flanagan, a vet nurse in Townsville, Australia, becomes part of a love triangle. She is engaged to Lachlan Lachie McGuire, owner of a station in the outback of Northwest Queensland. When she goes there for two weeks, she meets Lachies brother, Darcy. There is an instant attraction between Meghan and Darcy, but of course nothing can happen because shes engaged to Lachie. Darcy seems to be a more responsible and caring person than Lachie, but Meghan is still engaged to Lachie. Meghan loves the outback and she especially loves the horses, but she has to choose which man is the right one for heror if either one is the right one. The day of her wedding arrives and she still isn't sure. Eventually Meghan chooses the right man for the right reasons. This isn't my regular genre of story, but, overall, I enjoyed this story. I just didn't like to see Meghan and Lachie sleeping together. I loved Lachie and Darcys mother, Harriet. She is so loving and kind and welcomed Meghan like a daughter. You learn a little bit about the boys father, Daniel, who is deceased. Because Lachie was the heir, Daniel was kinder to him and treated him better than he did his other sons. The author has given wonderful descriptions of the land in the outback, the drought, the animals, the people, and camp drafting. I received an advanced reader copy of this book. The opinions are my own.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Michaelmas Wager; Author: Visit Amazon's Emily Murdoch Page; Review: I enjoyed this story for several reasons. I liked the hero and heroine, but also the lessons they learned. Rufus Lovell, a very wealthy man of just a few months, with scandal attached to his family name, has four friends with a penchant for making wagers, no matter how big or small. Rufus accepts a wager to marry a young woman he doesnt know by Michaelmas or lose the bet. The lady turns out to be Juliana Honeyfield, a vicars daughter. As Rufus and Juliana get to know each other, they grow to love one another. However, just when Rufus is going to propose, the wager and a huge misunderstanding end their happiness. Rufus then has to decide who and what are the most important things in his life to get his happily-ever-after. I would recommend this story to everyone. I received an advanced reader copy of this book. The opinions are my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Finding the Duke's Heir: Sweet and Clean Regency Romance (His Majesty's Hounds) (Volume 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Arietta Richmond Page; Review: This is book seven in His Majestys Hounds series. It is really two stories in one, with a happy and interesting ending. First, Julian Stafford, Duke of Windemere, doesnt know what to do with his life--his son died four years ago, the woman his son loved disappeared at the same time, and Julians wife died a year earlier. Enter Lady Sylvia Pendholm. Sylvia, along with her friend Lady Farnsworth, wants to help women abused by their wealthy employers and have children to take care of. She encounters Julian and he becomes part of this project. There is an instant connection between them, which grows over time. At the same time this story starts, Viscount Wareham is searching for Marion, the wife of the Dukes son, although hes the only who knows about the marriage. Circumstances lead all the main characters to be near each other, without even knowing it. Eventually everything works out the way it should, again thanks to Lady Sylvia. I loved the ending with Lord Sefton dancing with Lady Farnsworth, considering he is said to never dance and she hasn't danced in years. Could Lady Farnsworth be recruited by Lord Sefton for some kind of work to help England? I can hardly wait to see. This is an awesome series and Ive thoroughly enjoyed every book in it. I would recommend all the books in this series to everyone. I received an advanced review copy of this book. The opinions are my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Christmas Surprise; Author: Visit Amazon's Emily Murdoch Page; Review: A Christmas Surprise is the right name for this story because there is not one, but two surprises found in it. For thirty years the Viscount of Marchwood has held a Christmas ball at his home in London. There are rumors he is in financial trouble. Could that be the reason he has rented Scotchmore Castle in Scotland? This ball is especially special because it will formally introduce his daughter, Lady Audrey, into society. Could she possibly meet and fall in love with someone at the ball? When a tall, dark and handsome man asks her to dance, she doesnt recognize him (its a masked ball), but he seems familiar, and he affects her in strange ways. She finds the man she loves, which is one of the surprises in the story. Youll have to discover the other surprise yourself. You meet her good friends, Joy and Harmony Fitzroy and their cousin Jemima Fitzroy. I really liked them and would love to see each one get her own story. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would recommend it to everyone. I received a complimentary review copy of this book. The opinions expressed are my own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Counterfeit Duke: A Regency Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Agnes Forest Page; Review: This is a clean Regency romance that I enjoyed from beginning to end. Although I don't normally believe in deception, it was the best thing that could happen in this situation. Andrew agrees to his friend Philips dying wish to take his place as the new Duke of Hanover and take care of Philips childhood friend Ella. Even though Andrew is from a farming family, he makes a wonderful duke as he works to improve the dukedom and the people hes responsible for. He has to deal with Philips stepmother Georgina and her daughter Guinivere, but makes it clear right from the start that he is now in charge and he is not interested in marrying Guinivere. Then he has Ella brought back to Hanover House. Andrew does his best not to give away the fact hes an imposter, but even so, two people know he isn't Philip. However, because he has done only good things for everyone, they help him keep his secret. I especially liked the surprise with the birth of his son. I would recommend this book to everyone. I received a complimentary advance review copy of this book and have voluntarily expressed my own opinions.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Winning the Merchant Earl: Sweet and Clean Regency Romance (His Majesty's Hounds) (Volume 8); Author: Visit Amazon's Arietta Richmond Page; Review: I love the His Majestys Hounds series for several reasons: they are clean Regency romances; there is always a happily-ever-after ending; the stories are about good, honest men and women. This is another such story in the series. This continues the story of Lady Serafine Sera Parkington and Raphael Morton, a merchant and former Hound, from Giving a Heart of Lace, Book 3 of this series. They are wonderful partners in the business they started, and then start an art gallery, but a misunderstanding about one of Raphaels friends causes a rift that seems impossible to fix. They must deal with fear, pride and a kidnapping before getting their happy ending. In all of these stories, I love seeing how the Hounds still get together socially and support each other when a need arises, but I especially enjoy Baron Setfords continued involvement with missions to be accomplished. I like seeing the women who fall in love with these former Hounds, but Im also glad to see other good men invited to join this amazing group, plus the women they love. I enjoyed this story as much as the previous seven. I look forward to Book 9 in this series. I received a pre-release copy of this book. This is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blade & Rose (Blade and Rose) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Miranda Honfleur Page; Review: You should know who the main characters are in this story, some of them from Winter Wren, the prequel to this series. They are: Favrielle Rielle, an elemental mage and also the Marquise of Laurentine; Leigh Galvan, a mage master and Rielles former mentor; Marquis Brennan Marcel, betrothed to Rielle the last nine years and has a blood tie to her; Sir Jonathan Jon Ver, an honorably discharged paladin and the man whose life Rielle saved five years earlier; Olivia, Rielles best friend and ArchMage to King Marcus at the capital; General Evrard Gilles, an evil, sadistic and cruel mercenary. While Rielle fulfills her duty to escort Jon to Moras Amar, at the same time she worries about Olivia because something terrible has happened at the capital of Courdeval. Rielle finds her true love, but that doesnt mean things run smoothly for her. There are many twists and turns in this story. Not everyone is as you think they are and not everything turns out the way you expect it to. There is a cliff hanger ending. This was a fascinating story that kept me interested all the way through, but I wish there was a lot less violence and cruelty in it. Even so, I want to see what happens in the next book of this series. I received an advance review copy of this book. The opinions expressed are my own.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Outback Governess; Author: Visit Amazon's Sarah Williams Page; Review: Contemporary stories are not my usual genre, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Logan Hendersons parents, Ruth and Hugh, take care of his three childrenLayla, Scotty, and Brookeat their home at Currawilla Station, Australia, while he works at a different town. Logan is only there every other week and doesnt have much of a relationship with his children. Paige is hired to be the childrens governess because shes actually a teacher and has worked with special needs children like Scotty. She has a wonderful personality and knows exactly how to interact with all the children, while helping to take some of the workload off Ruth and Hugh. When circumstances force Logan to spend more time at home, I loved seeing his attitude and actions change. He learns to truly love and appreciate his children, as well as enjoying working on the station again. This was a wonderful story, which I would recommend to everyone. I received a free advanced reader copy of this book. This is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Healing Lord Barton: Sweet and Clean Regency Romance (His Majesty's Hounds) (Volume 9); Author: Visit Amazon's Arietta Richmond Page; Review: Lord Barton Seddon, one of His Majestys Hounds, is living at Dartworth Abbey overseeing renovations for his friend Oliver Kentworthy, Marquess of Dartworth. Lady Sybilla Barrington, sister of the Duke of Melton, becomes a close neighbor when she comes to Greyscar Keepwith her chaperone Miss Millpostto write a gothic novel.

Through their love of horses, they draw closer to each other. Then they discover a scandal from the 1750s involving ancestors of both the Kentworthy and Barrington families. They, along with Miss Millpost, search for answers about what happened in the past and who is affected in the present. I enjoyed seeing Lord Barton and Lady Sybilla overcome their personal issues in order to find the love they both deserve. Miss Millpost is a wonderful character also. She appears in a previous book of this series. Hopefully, we will see her again, as well as the other Hounds and their families. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially if you like clean Regency romances. I received a pre-release copy of this book. This is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: By Dark Deeds (Blade and Rose) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Miranda Honfleur Page; Review: I enjoyed this book more than the first one and anxiously look forward to the next one. So much happens with the main charactersJon, Rielle, Brennan, Leigh, Olivia, Shadowbut more characters are added. While Rielle struggles to survive as a slave, Jon learns what it means to be king and what he must do to protect his country. Immortals continue to attack various parts of the landsome of them whose only purpose is to kill and destroy. Can Jon and Rielles love for each other survive the things theyve done while apart?

This is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Under the Mistletoe: 8 Inspirational Romances to bring you joy this Christmas Season!; Author: Visit Amazon's Lorana Hoopes Page; Review: This is an anthology of eight stories I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to everyone. Two stories are historical and six are contemporary. Although contemporary is not my favorite genre, Im glad I was able to read these stories. All of these stories are Christian-themedGod is already a part of their lives or becomes a part of them. Besides love, peace, and happily-ever-after endings, these stories include an unwed mother, a spy, misunderstandings, good friends, sorrow, wonderful characters, and more.

Title: Kissing the Duke of Hearts: Sweet and Clean Regency Romance (His Majesty's Hounds) (Volume 10); Author: Visit Amazon's Arietta Richmond Page; Review: Another great story in this series of His Majestys Hounds. This is the story of Isabella Bella Morton (Raphaels sister) and Lucian Merryhew, the Duke of Hartswood, also known as the Duke of Hearts. Typical of so many of the nobility, Lucian has the reputation as a rake. However, only he knows how lonely and bored he is with his life. When he and Bella meet at a Masquerade Ball, they each make an impression on the other one, although he doesnt know who she is. When he is actually introduced to her, he is cold and rude. You see, he looks down on Raphael, the upstart merchant Earl, or anyone he considers beneath him in social status. Through circumstances beyond his control, his attitude changes by watching and observing Raphael and his family. Two near tragedies show him what is most important in his life. I loved seeing characters from previous stories in this story as well. I have enjoyed every book in this series and would recommend this book and the others to everyone. I received a complimentary advance review copy of this book, but also bought it. This is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Christmas Bride: Christian Western Historical (Window to the Heart Saga Spin-off); Author: Visit Amazon's Jenna Brandt Page; Review: This story follows The Oregon Pursuit as part of the Window to the Heart Saga series. I think it is an amazing story. Lucy Rogers is engaged to Matthew McCoy, the pastors son, but because she manages the Trails End Saloon, many of the women in town look down on her. Even Matthews parents don't like her. They don't see the kind and caring person that Lucy really is. A near tragedy caused by someone from Lucys past actually changes feelings. This is a Christian-themed story and one I enjoyed from beginning to end. I would recommend it to everyone. This story is part of an anthology I received as a complimentary advance review copy and this is my honest opinion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Prairie Doctor's Bride; Author: Visit Amazon's Kathryn Albright Page; Review: Ive read many mail order bride stories, but this is at the top of those Ive enjoyed the most. What a wonderful cast of charactersboth good and badDoctor Nelson Graham; Sylvia Marks, Tommys unwed mother; Carl (Tommys uncle who is mean and cruel when drunk); the Gallaghers (mercantile owners who are not nice); Nelsons parents (unloving his entire life); and many wonderful townsfolk. Nelson thinks he knows what he wants in a wife/nurse, but a kidnapping at gun point starts him on a very different path to happiness. The story kept me engaged/riveted from beginning to end. I always want a happy ending, but this one was very special. I cant say enough good things about this story. It is a clean historical western I would recommend to everyone. I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my honest review of this story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Viscount's Wife (Window to the Heart Saga) (Volume 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Jenna Brandt Page; Review: I liked Debbey and William from seeing them in a previous story, but I really learned to admire them in this one. William wasn't raised to be the viscount, but must now take on those responsibilities. Debbey faces and overcomes challenges I would never want to go through. The easiest part may have been enduring weeks of arduous travel from Oregon to England. Then she has to face her arrogant, unkind aristocrat of a mother-in-law. Debbey doesnt want to embarrass her husband, so in a few months she learns what English girls learn from childhoodhow to act as English high society expects. With training and help from her sister-in-law and their Aunt Beatrice, she is able to navigate society and even make friends in the process. This story also contains a villain who is behind events designed to separate Debbey from William permanently. However, through their great love for each other, and her faith in God, there is a very happy ending. I enjoyed this story from the very first page to the last. I have read books 4, 6 and 7 in this series and would recommend it to everyone. I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my honest review of the story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: This Treacherous Journey (Heart of the Mountains); Author: Visit Amazon's Misty M Beller Page; Review: This is a wonderful story that starts with tragedy for Simeon Grant, but eventually turns into a love story with a happy ending.

Things change when Joseph is hurt in the mountains and they find Simeons cabin. They all face danger and hardships on their way to Canada, but all ends well eventually.

It was also amazing to see how they were able to overcome the trials they faced on their journey north. This is a heartwarming story that I would recommend to everyone. I received a complimentary advance review copy of this book. This is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Court of Shadows (Blade and Rose) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Miranda Honfleur Page; Review: I think I like each story in this series better than the last one. It seems life should run smoothly for Rielle with her engagement to Brennan, but that is just not the case. She loves him completely, but Jon still holds a place in her heart and I think he always will. Then there are the magister trials she faces, as well as unseen enemies. Of course, there are others who face dangerous situations, as well. This story has many of the same charactersJon, Brennan, Olivia, Leigh, Ambriel, and othersbut there are also some new ones I liked. I especially liked Marfa, a female werewolf loyal to Rielle, and Katia, a young, sassy witch who can be either trouble or a help. This story kept me interested from beginning to end wanting to find out how each situation would end. I wanted to see the good guys win and the bad ones get what they deserved. You will find love, disappointment, intrigue, danger, secrets, lies, surprises and more. There is also violence and one explicit love scene, but with the cliff hanger ending, I want to read the next book in this series and find out what happens to the many characters Ive come to love. I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my honest review of the story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Loving the Bitter Baron: Sweet and Clean Regency Romance (His Majesty's Hounds) (Volume 11); Author: Visit Amazon's Arietta Richmond Page; Review: Another wonderful story in this series. Gerald Gerry Otford, Baron Tillingford, is not truly happy. He thinks himself unworthy of any woman and that includes Lady Alyse Barrington, the sister of Gerrys good friend Hunter, Duke of Melton. Weddings are an especially difficult time for him; while everyone else is happy, he doesnt think he deserves and will never know such happiness for himself. Alyse is attracted to Gerry from the first time she meets him, but is confused by his actions towards her: one moment warm and then cold. Gerrys past catches up to him when a man seeking revenge causes a near tragedy, which would affect his friends and their families.

Title: Hearts to Be Mended: A Regency Romance (A Forbidden Love Novella Series) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Bree Wolf Page; Review: Lady Eleanor Abbott is in love with Henry Waltham, the fifth son of a baron, but their love seems to be doomed. Eleanors mother refuses to consider him as a suitor. Eleanor feels her mother is keeping some kind of secret. Is there something more to her dislike of Henry than just his brothers reputations? While Henry is trying to find a way to marry Eleanor, he is dealing with his brother Nicks drastic change in behavior. When the truth finally came out, I was surprised, but very pleased, because this story has two happy endings instead of just one. This story has several lessons to teachthe truth is always the best; love can conquer all; no matter the circumstances, never give up. I thoroughly enjoyed reading how Eleanor and Henry overcame the obstacles put in the way of their happiness. I would recommend this book to everyone who likes clean, Regency romance.

Title: Love, Be Mine: A Regency Romance Valentine's Day Collection: 9 Delightful Regency Valentine's Day Stories (Regency Collections) (Volume 8); Author: Visit Amazon's Arietta Richmond Page; Review: This is a wonderful collection of nine clean, Regency romances.

Title: The Lady's Smile (Highland Valiance Series) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Fiona McKellar Page; Review: The Ladys Smile tavern is owned by Lorna, with her niece Gelis Ratry helping her run it. Gelis has had no interest in any man shes met over the years, but that changes slowly after big Thomas Tom Grant comes in one night. His enormous size is impressive, even though he isnt, considering how drunk he is. Tom comes and goes from their lives, but hes there when hes needed the most. This is a short story that sometimes seemed a little slow to me, but then other times it was very exciting. It has action, sadness, and love. There is a happy ending, but I cried and worried during parts of it. This is a book I would recommend to others. I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Magestaff (The Seven Kingdoms); Author: Visit Amazon's Cordelia Castel Page; Review: This is a retelling of Cinderellas story, but very different except for the wicked mother and stepsisters. After suffering six long years of abuse, sixteen-year-old Cendrilla Rilla Perraults mother sells her to Lord Blackbeard to be his bride. There are rumors about Lord Blackbeards cruelty and brutality and they are all true. After Rilla escapes with Jack from Lord Blackbeards mansion, she meets many different characters, some of them from other fairy tales. While trying to avoid Lord Blackbeards minions, Rilla and Jack must deal with thugs, ogres, trolls, witches, talking animals, and more. There is adventure, danger, suspense, and magic in this story, but through it all you see Rillas kindness and how she tries to help anyone in trouble, regardless of the consequences she may face because of her actions. With a cliff hanger ending, I want to read the next book in this series to see what happens next in Rillas life. I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Prophecy of Darkness (Legends of the Tri-Gard) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's M. Lynn Page; Review: This is the first book Ive read by these authors, but Im sure it won't be the last. You will find magic, love, tragedy, honesty, betrayal, humor, death, and more. Lorelai, a seer, prophesied to Prince Trystan that Someone you love will die because of you. Someone you love will sacrifice their life for yours. Someone you love will forsake your name. Death. Sacrifice. Betrayal. A curse of kings. Who will die? Is there more than one interpretation of this prophecy? There are so many wonderful characters in this storysome very good and some evil. One of my favorites is Briggs, a member of the Tri-Gard. He is sometimes funny, even if his sense of humor isn't always appreciated by others. With the unexpected surprise ending of this story, I can hardly wait for the next book to see what more can happen to my favorite characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes strong heroes and heroines, mixed with magic. I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Lady's Gamble: A Historical Regency Romance Book; Author: Visit Amazon's Abby Ayles Page; Review: Another great story by Abby Ayles. Regina Hartfield, the youngest of five daughters, and Thomas Harrison, Duke of Whitefern, are the main characters, but there are also a lot of other wonderful characters. Reginas four sisters are very different from her, but each one interesting in her own way. Reginas eldest sister, Bridget, is like a mother to her. Thomas has an unusual set of friends. Some have lifestyles that could ruin them, but when they are together they are funny, tease each other as only good friends can do, and do not judge one another. One of them is Lady Cora Dunhill, who becomes like a sister to Regina. Regina believes what society says about her: shes a mouse, dull, boring, or too outspoken. Therefore, through her interactions with Thomas, I loved seeing her blossom into the person she really is inside. She just didn't know it. Regina gambles to win back her familys land and money, but finds love in the process. Not only do Regina and Thomas get their happily ever after, but most of Reginas sisters do as well. I would recommend this book to everyone who enjoys Regency love stories with great characters and happy endings. There is a bonus Extended Epilogue at the end, which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dragon School: First Message; Author: Visit Amazon's Sarah K. L. Wilson Page; Review: This is the first story Ive read in this series, but I have to say that it kept me interested from beginning to end. It was easy to pick up the story; although Im sure I missed a lot of significant events in the previous books. I loved the interaction of Amel and her dragon Raolcan speaking to each other through their minds. Raolcan seems to have quite a sense of humor and is wise, but can also be very fierce when necessary. I came to really like Amels companions, Hubric, Savette and Rakturan. You will find love, treachery, allies, enemies, and much more in this story, and, of course, dragons. What a cliffhanger ending. I can hardly wait to read the next book in this series. I received an advance reader copy of this book. This is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lawfully Justified: Inspirational Christian Historical (A Bounty Hunter Lawkeeper Romance); Author: Visit Amazon's Lorana Hoopes Page; Review: This book by Lorana Hoopes is as good as the first one she wrote in this series. William Cook became a bounty hunter after his wife Catherine was killed. Emma Stewart moved back home after her Texas Ranger husband was killed. As Emma cares for William while he recovers from being shot, they are attracted to each other, but how can they reconcile his profession and her desire to stay in Sage Creek? Emma has a wonderful, close-knit family with her father and four siblings, especially her 6-year-old sister Jennie, who is wise beyond her years and not a bit shy about saying whatever is on her mind. There is suspense, humor, a secret, hard decisions to make, and love in this story, which I would recommend to anyone who likes good, clean westerns with strong characters and happily-ever-after endings. I received an advance reader copy of this book, and this is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Falling for the Earl: Sweet and Clean Regency Romance (His Majesty's Hounds) (Volume 12); Author: Visit Amazon's Arietta Richmond Page; Review: Arietta Richmond has done it againanother great story in this series. It amazes me how she can interconnect characters from one book with characters from another. When Jane Canfield, a commoner, and Nicholas Belmont, Earl of Amberhithe, meet accidentally, they form a friendship based on personalities and feelings only. Can two people of different social standings find love together? They are wonderful individuals, but lonely. Nicholas is also distraught over the disappearance of his son, Gervaise. Jane has the uncanny ability to put two unconnected events together to help solve the mystery. This is a short, but thoroughly delightful, story. It held my interest from page one to the very end. If you like clean Regency romances with wonderful characters, this is a must read for you. I received an advance reader copy of this book, and this is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: This Wilderness Journey (Heart of the Mountains) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Misty M. Beller Page; Review: Misty Beller has created another great story set in the Canadian Rockies. Joseph Malcolm and Monticello Monti Bergeron are our hero and heroine, but there are also many other wonderful charactersJosephs twin sister Emma with her husband Simeon and adorable daughter Hannah; Montis cousin, Father Bergeron, who ministers to the Peigan Indians; 4-year-old Hollow Oak and her parents and uncle. Through the whole story I was able to picture each of the characters and understand their thoughts and feelings. Joseph is a wonderful man, but feels he is a cripple and no good to anyone. Monti must adjust to living in this wild country; learn to ride a horse and cook, among other things. I loved this story from beginning to end. It has love, humor and danger, with Joseph and Monti overcoming personal issues to find their happily-ever-after ending. You can see Gods hand in the miracles found in this story. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. I received an advance reader copy of this book, and this is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Godmaker (The Jeweled Goddess) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Ingrid Seymour Page; Review: Bia is a Potential goddess, but she has not lived a wonderful life. Her mother has no use for her, her sisters make fun of her, and she has endured taunts, humiliation, and practical jokes most of her life because she is Skillbarren (no Godskills). From birth children are taught to think they are better than humans, but the adults are willing to lose their seventeen-year-old children each year in the trials or if they Descend and become humans forever. Bia is determined to fight in the trials, but can she survive without any Godskills? Will she have to face, and possibly kill, her best friends? There are some characters I enjoyed meetingGodmaster Neo; Bias friends Elina, Delfos, and Romer. However, if you need someone evil in this story, it is Bias mother, who is willing to do anything or hurt anyone for her own purposes. This story has strong friendships, brutality, suspense, and a surprise ending. I look forward to reading the next book in this series to see what happens next. I received an advance reader copy of this book, and this is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dragon's Awakening (Heir of Dragons: Book 1) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Sean Fletcher Page; Review: This is the first book Ive read by Sean Fletcher, but Im sure it won't be the last. When Kaylee Richards finds out she is a dragon-kin, she also learns her best friend Jade has changed without her knowing it. Then she meets Edwin, a rather incompetent Merlin, and Edwins Protector, Maddox. These four teenagers make a formidable team, which lands them in several dangerous situations. I also like other characters, especially Baba, Kaylees trainer, who is a force to be reckoned with. Her unique house and its secret/forbidden room are amazing. I enjoyed this story so much that it was hard to stop reading and I can hardly wait to read the next book in this series. If you like stories with strong characters, magic, suspense, and verbal sparring, this book is for you. I received a complimentary copy of this book, and this is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dragon School: Warring Promises; Author: Visit Amazon's Sarah K. L. Wilson Page; Review: This is one of the best series Ive read, even though Ive only read books 7 and 8 so far. The human characters are great, but I especially like the dragons. I love Amels dragon, Raolcan, with his sense of humor and the way he knows things that surprise Amel. Even Hubrics dragon, as touchy as he is, is interesting. Amel is forced to decide between duty and loyalty to friends, but everything works out for the best. As in the previous story, there is danger, suspense, traitors, friendship, and love. This story has a good, but a surprising, ending. I know there are more books to come and I can hardly wait for the next one. If you like stories with magic, dragons, and more, this one is for you. I received a complimentary copy of this book, and this is my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Past Forgiven (Contemporary Christian New Adult Romance): A Heartbeats University Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Lorana Hoopes Page; Review: I don't usually read contemporary stories, and was not sure if I would like this one or not. I didn't like Jess Petersons character in the beginning, but came to admire her with the changes she makes in her life. Chad Michaels also has issues that define his actions, but through Gods influence, he too changes his life. What I liked best is seeing the way Jess and Chad are able to change their behaviors through faith, family, and good friends, finding a happy ending together. If you like stories of redemption, proving anyone can change, this book is for you. I received an advance reader copy of this book. I have voluntarily reviewed it and given my honest opinion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The English Proposal (Window to the Heart) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Jenna Brandt Page; Review: This story exceeded my expectations. I was unsure if Lady Margaret Wellesleys divided feelings would bring her joy or unhappiness, but through the love of her husband and a new-found faith in God, she learns what true love really is. I was kept interested from the first page to the last with the characters, as well as the friendships, duty, loyalty, suspense, and love found here. I hated to see this story end, but look forward to the next two in this trilogy. This is a clean, Regency romance that I would recommend to others. I received an advance reader copy of this book. I have voluntarily reviewed it and given my honest opinion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Legacy of Light (Legends of the Tri-Gard); Author: Visit Amazon's M. Lynn Page; Review: I agree with others that this story is as good, or even better, than the first one. I had a hard time putting it down. We have the same wonderful characters with the same strengths and weaknesses. Trystan, Rissa, Alixa, Avery, Briggs, and Lonara must continue their mission to put the Tri-Gard together. They again face sorrow, danger, battles, magic, and more, but accomplish their goal. Or do they? As Trystan says at the end of the story, This is just the beginning. This story had a happy ending compared to book one, but there is still one more book in this series, which I can hardly wait to read. This is definitely a book I would recommend to others. I received an advance reader copy of this book, which I have voluntarily reviewed and given my honest opinion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Fujifilm FinePix XP10 12 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Green); Brand: Fujifilm; Review: I bought this for our honeymoon in Hawaii. Upon purchase I realized the quality of the pictures was pretty bad. It looks foggy or blurry in most the pictures but I chalked that up to this being a cheap camera and also waterproof. After 3 times in water the camera started to not work. It would turn on then turn right off. The only plus was my memory card was salvaged. When I contacted Fuji they wouldn't say that they would replace the camera. They insisted I send it in and have one of their techs look at it. I paid shipping and when they looked at it they determined they could fix it for 55 bucks. I declined. I'd rather keep my money and buy a good camera. Lesson learned, you get what you pay for.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Breville BFP800XL Sous Chef Food Processor; Brand: Breville; Review: I LOVE it! I've had several different ones over the years and this is by far maybe the best, in quality and function, kitchen appliance I've EVER owned. Better than my Vitamix blender and I love that too. It actually comes with two bowls, a small and a large (16 cup) that nest together for storage and it also comes with a super nice case that stores all of the attachments, and there are many! The slicing disk is adjustable. The chute is super large so most things don't even need to be cut to fit. As a bonus it is amazingly quiet and incredibly fast! I know I sound like an advertisement for it but I promise I receive no compensation for my 'sales pitch'. Lol! It's just THAT good!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Hedonism II; City: Negril Westmoreland Parish Jamaica; Review: Many of the staff remember us & greet us warmly. Saw many good changes since new owners took over last year. Looking forward to seeing more improvements soon. Really would like chairs in the bedrooms to watch TV, though. Housekeeping of entire hotel inside & out is outstanding - 5 yrs. in a row! Especially the common washrooms - spotless all the time! Special thanks to the washroom lady who has been there 22 yrs. & the older gentleman on the beach who is always raking up. Terrific job always! Great staff: Lorna Brammer (Guest Services) - fantastic, best we've ever met. She handled a difficult situation involving my husband & another male guest, with great professionalism & she kept the communication lines open. Lorna went the extra MILES to ensure we were comfortable & happy during our stay. Dining Room/Restaurants Ladies: Melodie, Phylecea, Pauline, Taneisha (my "namesake"), Kimmola, Shanique: always warm, sweet & friendly! Great service every time! Apologies if I missed anyone. Bar & Grill: Paulette & Steve - thanks for being so sincerely happy to see & serve us! Chef Anthony: Always smiling & taking time to listen & trying to accommodate me with foods I love - I didn't always get what was promised when it was promised, but that's OK, he did a great job for everyone, anyway. Japanese chef (welcome!) - he is new to the resort & a little rusty on the individual grill (hasn't done it in about 2.5 yrs.) but still put on an enjoyable show. He has skills! Very nice to have him converse with us a bit, as well. Kirk (Snorkelling): a wonderful, considerate young man! He's really guest oriented & loves snorkelling & sharing the fabulous underwater world with us. Thanks for the awesome times, Kirk! Hope to see you there next time! Three of the 7 pools were not as clean on a daily basis (lots of bugs floating on the water) as they have been in the past - luckily, our favourite was always pristine. Disappointed that there wasn't a badminton net available this year & that Garfield (tennis pro) didn't set up something so we could play Pickleball, as he said he would. In the past, Garfield has always been accommodating. This is perhaps an anomaly. Gym was always clean & machines in great working order. Working out there was very enjoyable. Special mention to our room housekeeping young lady (didn't get her name) - she was extremely nice & did an excellent job! Thanks! This time of year was quiet (one of the slow weeks there) & we prefer it that way. Enjoyed our stay, better than we expected this time, especially since Sunwing Vacations robbed us of our last day there (changed flights on us, from a direct flight home, to picking up passengers in the DR) so essentially, they took away our last day (approx. 9 hrs.) at the resort.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge Woodstock; City: Woodstock Ontario; Review: Stayed Sat. Dec. 6/14. Called on Thurs. Dec. 4th to get info on room/reservation, the front desk woman wasn't very helpful (didn't know the age for a Senior's discount, nor could talk about prices) - told us that the manager, Michelle, would be in on Friday and we should speak with her. Michelle, was very helpful & upgraded our room for free when we called (when we'd checked online a few weeks in advance, the price was lower). Price was reasonable for a basic hotel, which is what we wanted. No pool nor hot tub, which we were fine not paying for as we wouldn't use them. We were on the ground floor, steps away from the front desk & the breakfast area but it was noisy with people checking in, luckily it was quiet from around 11 pm. A noisy pick up truck gunned its way down the alley outside our window 4 times throughout the night. Not the hotel's fault, just strange that the same truck would do that 4 times in a night. The underpads on the mattresses were "noisy" as if there was a plastic sheet under the sheet, so every movement caused noises. The beds & pillows were very comfortable, though! Room & bathroom were clean, some little signs of aging in the shower area, but overall good quality. Shower head leaked & sprayed all over. When I informed Michelle the next morning, she said she'd get maintenance to take care of it. We stayed one night only (were in town for a weekend tournament). Mini fridge & microwave included in room, were a bonus. Microwave in breakfast area was available as well. Continental breakfast was basic: 2% milk, orange & apple juice, fresh apples (2 or 3 different types) & bananas, white & whole (?) wheat sliced bread, 4 types of bagels, peanut butter, strawberry jam, butter, Cheerios & Cornflakes, packets of instant hot cereals, coffee & tea, ice & water. Parking lot is not attached to hotel, but it wasn't far away. We were willing to stay in another hotel in London that had a great review, a room & amenities comparable with this Econo Lodge but at a much, much lower price. It was 16 mins. away from the venue we were going to play at, whereas this Econo Lodge was less than a minute away. Michelle offering us a free upgraded room closed the deal for us. Thanks, Michelle! It was also fun chatting about sports with you. Hope to see you next year when we return for the same tournament.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Mississauga; City: Mississauga Ontario; Review: This was 2nd yr in a row we've stayed here on approx. same dates. Hot tub & pool were closed for service/repair. Last year, hot tub was SCALDING hot & unusable; reported it then, but nothing was done. We were playing in a 3 day tournament & could've really used the hot tub for aching muscles, each stay. Otherwise, the hotel & room were clean & in good repair. Pillows were amazingly comfortable & we each had 3! Beds were also really comfortable! Breakfast is not as varied as we'd have like, but it was adequate. Coffee at breakfast was surprisingly really good! Staff was friendly but we didn't interact with them much.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: London Wellington Hotel; City: London Ontario; Review: Booked 3 weeks before our trip to London, ON for a weekend tournament (May 30-31, 2015). Ruth took reservation, promised to email confirmation within half hr. Two days later, had to call again for email confirmation, got Ruth who said their email hadn't been working so she couldn't send it, (pretty lame excuse! A business email is down for 2 DAYS!?!) but said she'd send it again. Still didn't get it so called next day & got Christina who sent it. Called day prior arriving in London as wife is severely allergic to cigarette smoke, to AGAIN ensure a room as far from the smkng flr as possible. Were told yes again, no problem. Arrived late afternoon, and the ONLY room left was a smkng room! We went to Comfort Inn next door to try to find a room. The ladies at the Front desk called 5 different hotels in the area, but 6 diff. tournaments were in town for the weekend, so all the hotels around were sold out. They found us Motel 6 close by that had 4 rms. left. Had a great stay at Motel 6. Super 8 cost us about $50 more as Motel 6's price was a bit higher & they didn't have a complimentary breakfast for the 2 days we stayed. We've stayed at Super 8 in different cities and never had a problem before and will NEVER return to this Super 8 location.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Riu Jalisco; City: Nuevo Vallarta Pacific Coast; Review: Stayed May 22-29, 2917, felt this was really a 4.5 Star. ** BEWARE ** -- On way out of the airport to find the Sunwing bus, we got fooled by a local salesman whom we asked to direct us to the Sunwing bus and instead he directed us to his co-worker who pretended to be a Sunwing rep. The "rep" asked to see our proof of transfer to the hotel, then he proceeded to chat us up & tried to give us "complimentary gifts/excursions"... warning bells went off when I realized he wasn’t wearing a Sunwing ORANGE shirt nor had his id badge visible. We politely tried to leave but he kept trying to keep us there, then another salesman came over to try to stop us from leaving. After we got away, it left a very bad feeling with us as our info was on the itinerary, which he read in detail then gave back to us. - HOTEL: -- Arrived at the hotel about 9:00 pm. They upgraded us for free to a family suite because they had overbooked the regular rooms. Suite was awesome: 2 bedrooms, each with a TV, 2 bathrooms, and separate TV room. Door to balcony couldn't lock, no key. Took them the whole next day & 4 different employees in 3 visits, to look at it, before someone came to replace the entire handle & lock mechanism. Safe was locked, no clothes iron, 2 bedside lamps were missing adapters - all 3 were rectified quite quickly. 3rd TV remote was missing, didn't notice until next day, told front desk but it was never replaced before we changed rooms on the 3rd full day. - ROOMS: 1st one (#4195) was closest to disco: 1st night it was quiet after 11:10 pm (front desk said the noise would stop at 11:00 pm., so it wasn't so bad). 2nd night: not quiet until about 12:40 am. 3rd night: the disco was so loud that our walls were shaking! Called front desk, within 5 mins, the music was turned down, to a dull roar, 10 mins. later, it was back to full volume. Called front desk again, same results! Music finally ended at 2 am. when disco closed. All 3 nights, drunken men & women were yelling & splashing in the decorative pools until 3-3:30. ** Realize this WASN’T the hotel's fault, but it kept waking us up. Next day, we changed to a quieter side (#5112- with 3 beds & 1 bathroom) – front desk was mostly accommodating (with a tiny bit of run around), to change our rooms. Allowed us to check out the “new” room before accepting it. We were so sleep deprived that we slept 12 hrs. straight that night! -- The Sunwing Rep, Jose Luis Montano, met us the 1st morning after we got in. He was very attentive, empathetic & so efficient! He encouraged us to tell him about every little thing that wasn't right so that he could take it to the hotel management & make our stay more comfortable & enjoyable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Gananoque; City: Gananoque Ontario; Review: July 27/18 stay. Much better than the 3.7 star rating that we expected. The towels & sheets seemed very new. The room & bathroom (though both on the small side) were very clean EXCEPT the carpet was dirty, stained & probably needed a good deep clean/replacement. The continental breakfast was better than expected - offered hard-boiled eggs, cream cheese, yogurt (no non-/low-fat which I can only eat). Coffee/tea/juices/cold water, bread/bagels/English muffins & muffins, packaged oatmeal, jams/peanut butter/butter fresh bananas/apples/oranges. Didn't try the outdoor pool. TV stations lacking, but internet worked ok (once we were able to connect to it). Beds were on the firm side, but comfortable, pillows were; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Y: The Last Man, Vol. 1: Unmanned; Author: Brian K. Vaughan; Genres: mystery, thriller, comics, crime, paranormal, graphic, fantasy, fiction; Review: Read this 10 part graphic novel series that was recommended by my comics loving husband. The story is really interesting: a plague kills every male on earth, human and animal, save for one man and his pet Capuchin monkey. Women are solely in control and quickly fill the vacancies (in all areas- leadership as well as brutality) left by men. The story follows Yorick, the last man, as he travels the world to locate his fiancee and somehow determine what caused the plague and how he managed to survive. The story was intriguing and I did enjoy it, though I had some minor quibbles with some of the artwork and I still really couldn't tell you what caused the plague. That being said, I would definitely recommend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Irresistible Henry House; Author: Lisa Grunwald; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: The story of a young man who was the product of a 1930's Home Economics movement at the college level. Henry is a "practice baby", living in a "practice house" where an ever-rotating group of "practice mothers" learn how to raise a baby and run a household. As a result, Henry grows up never able to fully attach to any one person or thing, much to the dismay of his adoptive mother who longs for him to be fully hers. I really enjoyed the writing, and was intrigued by the methods of child-rearing discussed in the book. And you can't help but feel for Henry. I was alternately frustrated by him and sad for him. The book came to a believable and satisfying conclusion. I would recommend it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Night Circus; Author: Erin Morgenstern; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I really loved this book. There were some aspects that were not 100% satisfying for me (namely, the conclusion), but the good aspects of this novel far outweighed the bad for me. I loved, LOVED the writing in the book. The descriptions of the circus were enchanting, and the author was really able to evoke the what life in and around the circus would have been like.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Stedman; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: It took me a while to finish this book, because I had a hard time getting past the first few chapters. But, once I did manage to get into it, I enjoyed the writing, and found the story compelling. It's hard to love any of the main characters, but the author did a good job of making them all ultimately sympathetic. Though you may not agree with their choices, you can understand their motivation. Glad I stuck with it to the end.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Beyond Area 51: The Mysteries of the Planet's Most Forbidden, Top Secret Destinations...; Author: Visit Amazon's Mack Maloney Page; Review: Loved this book!!! Mack Maloney digs deep on this one!!! If you are a beginner in the field of UFO's this book explains a lot with brief "catch up" the history of each area. It was a very captivating read-I couldn't put the book down!!! I recommend any and all of his books!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Men Of Mystery: Nikola Tesla and Otis T. Carr: Weird Inventions Of The Strangest Men Who Ever Lived!; Author: Timothy Green Beckley; Review: I thought this book was going to be full of "facts"-not out of this world speculations. I know Teslas was a progressive thinker but some claims in this book are completely outlandish. I had to skip parts of the book to be able to continue reading it. I got the book primarily for the information on Otis Carr. I haven't got there yet but if the material about him is handled like Teslas information, I will be extremely disappointed.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: UFO Religion: Inside Flying Saucer Cults and Culture; Author: Visit Amazon's Gregory L. Reece Page; Review: I am starting to become more interested in the "who" is behind the who ufo phenomena. This book gives a good history about the Contactees of the 40's-60's and to present. It is important to look back into history and try to understand when a phenomena begins and the accounts that are given around it. It becomes increasingly more interesting the more history that you uncover by reading a book such as this, it tends to skew ones thoughts on how plausible the whole abduction scenario may be. Ufology has for the most part become a dead fish in the water with nothing but a rehash of Roswell and Betty and Barney Hill and Area 51...it gets old the more and more it gets retold, and nothing new ever comes about as a result. More stories get added to the already incomplete tales out there making the current state of ufology to suffer and always under ridicule. The book "UFO Religion" by Greg Reece is a very interesting historical documentation about the people behind the beginnings of UFO sightings and contact. The book is written giving each "character" a brief history on how they became involved and where they went with their experience. A lot of the stories a very similar during this time frame, just as all of the abduction stories that people have reported starting mid 70's till present. These are both 2 totally different worlds that I feel no author has been able to bridge together. Greg does an excellent job of showing the beginnings of the accounts given to recent events, such as Heavens Gate. This book fits very well into the history of Contactees-the other 2 books that elaborate more on each character in this book can be found in "Contactees" by Nick Redfern and "UFO's and the American Zeitgeist" by Aaron J Gulyas. These 3 books give a very interesting look at the history of the Contactee movement started in the late 40's and evolved into current times. I highly recommend this book if you want to explore a very undiscovered side of ufology that many are not familiar with.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Prometheus Project: Trapped; Author: Visit Amazon's Douglas E. Richards Page; Review: Such a fun book to read to my 10 year old. He loved it and I was really into it.

I plan on continuing the series with him and also looking into a few more of the authors books for myself.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Tulip Inn Amsterdam Riverside; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: You need to walk 10 minutes to get public transport. So if you don't have a car, I would not recommend to stay there. The hotel is old, pillows stunk and the windows were very dirty.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Beyaz Kugu; City: Istanbul; Review: Where to start from? old and grey towels, bad smelling blankets, very noisy reception all night, spoiled wall paint (due to moisture), breakfast in badly ventilated basement (and cheapest food products). Hotel management is watching all the corridors via CCTV so I doubt they may be watching or listening the rooms as well. If you are a male, it is forbidden to visit the room of a female guest and a female can not visit you at your room as well (measures against prostitution) In my room there was no space between the toilet and shower cabin so I could sit only wit h 90 degrees angle - very uncomfortable. I could not sleep all night, I would better walk on the streets of istanbul till morning than staying in this hotel; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Kirkinca Hotel; City: Sirince Izmir Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: Stayed there with my girlfriend in Asmali Oda of Erdem House. The room was nice and simple. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice. The room has a few small and ignorable problems, which I would like to note for the hotel owners to find solutions. For many people these may not be a problem at all a. There is no door for the part where toilet and shower are located. Shower is not a problem, but one would like privacy when using the toilet, even when with wife or partner. There can be unpleasant sounds and odors :) b. there is 1m distance between the mirror and the washbasin so it is difficult to have a shave :) c. the shower was leaking to the room (not much) d. the bed makes noice when used by a hot couple :)) In general the stay was quite pleasant thanks to the charming village and old/traditional decoration of the room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Antalya Adonis Hotel; City: Antalya Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: The hotel and its location is nice. The panorama is impressing, try to get a room facing the sea. (Some rooms have only partial sea view) The hotel has a swimming pool and access to sea (by lift down the rocks). There is no mention of any 5 stars on their website, and for sure it is not a five star hotel. But in general, the hotel is quite acceptable and there is no major problem in staying there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Club 27 Hotel; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: Location is not far from Sheremetevo express (Beloruskaya). The building and the repair are not brand new but they give a historical feeling. The breakfast was not the best but we did not stay hungry. In summary, free internet (Wifi), comfortable room and reasonable price for Moscow. I would stay there again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Proton; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: I stayed a week in Proton Hotel in January 2012. Cons: - Clean and silent place - Has shuttle bus to Metro Fili and Expocenter - Free of charge drinking water from dispensers at every floor - Free Internet access - Price reasonable for Moscow - Faces park (trees) Pros: - Absolutely nothing to do withing walking distance of the hotel - dependency on taxis - No big size towels and disposable sleepers in the room. You have to order them in addition if you want. (I was ok with medium size towels they provide) - The menu in the restaurant is very limited. - Wi-fi works bad at some locations and rooms - better to ask for a LAN cable The name of the hotel is Proton Business Hotel and I believe it is fine only for business visitors, not the tourists. But to make it clear, the hotel is absolutely ok for business visits.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SunFlower Park Hotel; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: Katerina Hotel is a very clean, modern facility with easy access from Domodedovo Airport. It is very convenient for people who has to visit the Southern part of the city, southern part of Moscow Oblast or neighboring oblasts in South. However, being just a few minutes away from Metro station on foot, visits to city center and other parts of Moscow shall not be a problem. Hotel is located just a few kilometers away from MKAD (Moscow Circle Auto Road) and has parking place. Rooms are cosy, clean with free minibar and wifi. The hotel restaurant's menu has enough choices to entertain you for several nights. Pity that I could not try the fitness center which looks appealing but hope to do it at my next visit. The management and staff are customer oriented. I have nothing negative to write about this hotel. Congratulations!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kholstomer Mini Hotel; City: St Petersburg Northwestern District; Review: I found a discounted price for a single room in this mini hotel, and i don't regret. Pros: - 5min walk from 2 metro stations - 50 m to Nevskiy prospekt (and bus stop) - clean rooms and bathroom - free internet (wifi) - very friendly staff cons: - Rooms are really small - almost no daylight, dark even in midday - non existing sound isolation ( difficult for hot couples and their neighbors) - need to climb narrow stairs to access some rooms; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Faustina Hotel Spa; City: Guzelcamli Kusadasi Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: I stayed in Faustina Hotel for a week together with my friends. If you get a room facing the shore, the view is amazing. It is very close to the national park, so on the left side, there are almost no buildings. You can see Samos island and nice sunset from your balcony. (Some rooms do not face the seaside, so remember to ask) There are 2 types of rooms, standard and deluxe. I stayed in deluxe room and it was nice. If you don't mention anything at the reservation, they will charge all inclusive with (local) Alcoholic beverages. If you are not fond of them, you can ask for an all inclusive reservation without alcoholic beverages and you get a discount. In addition, if you spend your daytime outside the hotel, you can ask for half board (without lunch) and get a further discount. The meals are acceptable, but of typical quality for all-inclusive business in Turkey. The hotel has its own beach and you can swim there, but I strongly suggest you to go to the national park and see its heavenly beaches. If you have a car, you can park outside the hotel. If you dont have a car, you can rent a bike or motorbike from the town. There is also a swimming pool for adults and one for kids. It is very pleasant to spend time at beach at night. The staff are generally friendly and nice. In the deluxe room, the shower has a jalousie window looking at the room, and there are big mirrors on the walls, so everything depends on your world of fantasies.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Guest House Meraba; City: Bakhchisaray; Review: I stayed twice in Meraba Hotel. The owners and the staff are very friendly and they give good advice on the places to visit, restaurants, etc. Hotel is clean, comfortable. It has its own garden with fruit trees and flowers. The hotel has a very silent and peaceful location in the old city. It is within walking distance to the Khan's Palace and the main road where you can use public transport. Wi-fi works well, there was no problem with hot or cold water.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Korel Thermal Resort Clinic Spa; City: Afyonkarahisar Afyonkarahisar District Afyonkarahisar P; Review: Korel Thermal Resort is a 5 star hotel, slightly out of city center. It has open and closed swimming pools, thermal water pool and thermal water jackuzi, sauna, turkish bath and gym. They do not serve alcoholic drinks nor sell cigarettes in the hotel. In general, Korel is a nice and clean hotel. The bathroom is not as good as expected from a 5 star touristic facility. Be ready to meet a lot of islamic tourists within the hotel; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Perla Hotel; City: Dikili Izmir Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: - Great Location on the seaside avenue - Reasonable rates - Clean and tidy rooms - Free wifi working well - Many restaurants, cafes and shops in walking distance - Free breakfast (open buffet) - Excellent view of sunset from the balcony (only in the seaside rooms); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pullman Baku; City: Baku Absheron Region; Review: Very good hotel with all the facilities that one can expect from a five star hotel. Just be advised that the hotel is not in the city center and there is limited things you can do within walking distance. On the other side, taxi is cheap and available anytime. (The kebab house hidden behind some green plants, located by the store across the street is quite cheap and the kebabs are delicious); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Acropol Beach Hotel; City: Antalya Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: pros: Nothing except the location cons: - wifi not working - dirty rooms - no ventilation in the toilet - a room facing the beach was promised but promise not kept - aircondition hardly cooling itself - boring breakfast, especially the margarine with butter aroma; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Divan Istanbul City; City: Istanbul; Review: Clean nice hotel, excellent for business visits. For free wifi, book via booking.com Also check your booking and make sure that breakfast included, otherwise they will charge 16 USD for it. Ask for a room, not facing the motorway which is busy 7/24 Do not expect any panaroma :); Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Villa Stanislavskyi Hotel; City: Lviv Lviv Oblast; Review: The hotel is located in a silent corner of Lviv, within 15-20 minutes walking distance to the city center and Lychakiv Cemetery. The hotel is very well decorated, staff is very friendly and hard working. Excellent Price/quality ratio. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Planeta; City: Minsk; Review: The hotel is clean, nice, good price/quality ratio. Wifi works very well. It is 15 minutes walking distance to Nemiga and underground. Busses stop nearby. Across the hotel, there is a park, river and 2nd World War Museum.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Mir; City: Kiev; Review: The hotel is very close to Metro station Golosiivka. Using the metro, you can go to city center in about 15-20 minutes. Near the hotel, there are many shops and in principle you can buy everything from the street, from drinks to fruits... Common areas are typical of a Soviet Union hotels, so you may be surprised if you are not familiar with such hotels. Wifi in Mir hotel is completely unreliable and it may not work all the time. I had a sim card with data plan, otherwise it would be very difficult with hotel's wifi. Sounds strange but making reservation via booking sites was cheaper than booking via reception desk. I stayed in 2 different room types in Mir Hotel. Single room: There is a single bed for one person. The bathroom is modern and clean. However, the furnitures and the colors of the room were so depressive, I could not stay there for more than 2 days. If you are on tight budget, you can go for this option. Luxury Suite Room: This room was more pleasant then Single Room. It was a suite, with much better furniture, much wider and nicer. Toilet and bathroom are separate. If you are not on tight budget, prefer Luxury Suite Room in Mir Hotel. See pictures for comparison.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Central Palace Bosphorus; City: Istanbul; Review: Located right on bosphorus, this hotel is ideal for people who like walking. The room and the decoration is modern and nice. Breakfast + free wifi available. Nearest metro station is Hacıosman. Just walk to Istinye and you have everything you could need, from restaurants to banks; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Istanbul City Bosphorus Hotel; City: Istanbul; Review: - Clean nice hotel - good location, easy access - Bosphorus name is somewhat misleading, only the bridge and a small part of sea can be seen - Free wifi - Open buffet breakfast - Free spa (sauna, swimming pool) - Good for business trips; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel Amstelveen; City: Amstelveen North Holland Province; Review: If you have a car, it is logical to stay out of Amsterdam. I believe Grand Hotel Amstelveen fits for this purpose. Rooms are generally clean and tidy. The room price is good and breakfast is included in the price. I was worried about the sound of airplanes due to the proximity to the airport but it was not the case, and ear plugs are available in the room, which I didn't need at all.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bilkent Hotel and Conference Center; City: Ankara; Review: Nice hotel in a beautiful surrounding. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of choices. Room is clean, staff is friendly. Open air swimming pool is great for summertime. Free wifi and spa are other positive points; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hilton Prague Old Town; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: Stayed at Hilton Prague old town for 4 nights in 2012. The location was great! Les than 10 mins walk to the main train terminal, 5 mins to all the attractions prague has to offer. And a nice 20 mins slow walk to the castle (not including climbing up the stairs). We got a free upgrade to the suite as a hilton honors member. The room that we stayed was at the top floor with very nice roof windows. Rooms are not too big nor too small. The comfort of the hotel made my stay in prague a memorable one! Love the buffet breakfast. After traveling around europe for a week, I was so glad they served asian porridge!! That was really a delight to have something light for breakfast rather than the heavy hams and pastry.. The only bad thing about hilton is that you need to be of at least a gold honors member in order to get free internet during stay. So as a blue honor member, the only free internet (wifi) was limited to the lobby itself. I think hilton can do better than this..; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Mercure Danang; City: Da Nang; Review: Stayed at this hotel in August 2012 for 5 nights. Reasons why I choose to stay here was because of the good price in a relatively brand new hotel and to accumulate accor points. Location: somewhat not convenient at all for people like me who dont travel on guided tours. Its a good half hour walk (or more) under the sun to the main city center/ market. Hardly any eateries within the hotel area. only one expensive restaurant that served poor vietnamese food at a high price opposite the hotel. I would say its pretty isolated. No convenient stores at all! Room: stayed at a twin room. Room size was good. not too small. however, if you're staying with a friend, the bath room was bad.. been asian, we need our privacy. But the bathroom has a large glass partition to the room itself and provide a translucent screen for privacy only! imagine we have to dim the lights in the bath room so that one cant see into the bath room from the room area! its a good idea for couples, but not for traveling with friends. the single bed was really single. i guess bigger size guests tends to fall off their bed at least once during their stay. hahaa.. Free wifi from lobby to rooms was a great! Breakfast: Better than expected range/ varieties. however, there were flies hovering the fruits. service: free airport transfer (both ways) was a good catch. albeit the hotel is very near to the airport (at most 5mins drive). Staff served with a smile and were helpful when needed for local information. Dinner: happened that we got a package that comes with free dinner on the 1st night. We knew it was free, however, it doesn't have to be food that looks cheap and taste cheap with poor quality. it tasted and looks like some left over food. As a accor le club gold member, I think this mercure hotel doesn't have any standards to be upgraded from mercure to grand mercure! More need to be done if they need the status of a grand mercure. FYI: This hotel was just called mercure in 2012 and only recently upgraded its brand to grand mercure in 2013.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Excelsior Hong Kong; City: Hong Kong; Review: Location location!! Stayed there almost every year when ever i visits HK. Latest stay was 9-14 August 2013. Reserved a standard room but was upgraded to the harbor side view room. Love the view of HK harbor while facing my lap top. Brought back lots of good memories everytime. Although its more of a business hotel as most reviews mentioned. However, who will wanna spent the whole day staying in the hotel? It's one of the best located hotel in HK. Jus less than 100m away from causeway bay mtr and sogo. Lots of good restaurants and shopping within the 1km circumference if the hotel. 3mins walk to time square, and all the high end fashion boutiques at lee garden, and 2 mins walk to Hysan place (1 of the newest shopping mall), lots of late night eateries and a 24hours supermart near by, direct bus to ap lei chow (outlets shopping), etc etc.. Rooms may be old looking but hotel management tried their best to keep the nostalgic new and comfortable. Love the pillows provided. Sufficient tv channels with English, Chinese and of cos, Cantonese! Front desk staff were very helpful, provided more information than asked for to make my stay welcome and comfortable. Great concierge services too!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Teddy Bear Hotel; City: Emeishan Sichuan; Review: Stayed here for a night on 10/9/2013. Teddy bear hotel is situated at bao Guo shi town (保国诗), jus beside the bus interchange (for buses from most major cities eg chengdu, leshan etc) and also the bus interchange for buses up to leidongping temple (雷同平) at emei Shang. The hotel is really convenient! Stayed in room 309 which is a twin wooden room. Cost 228rmb for a night. Toothbrush, shower gel, shampoo, and electric kettle provided. The room looks really cute (not ugly but adorable) the pillows are kinda soft n flat but we made do with the extra quilts. The beds were firm and jus nice. Individual control aircon which is a plus point as it can be pretty warm at the time of the year. Lots of eateries and restaurants near by, however, none look as clean as the restaurent by teddy bear hotel. Had a yummy good dinner that doesn't cost more than other restaurants out there. Service were fantastic! They serve with a smile. Information are readily available from the counter. Staff speaks reasonably well English. Menu comes in English, Korean, French and some other language. Try their fried rice with pork and green chilie, simply delicious! (Not for those who can't take spicy stuff). Hotel provides services require for most travelers, such as they are able to help you reserve plane and buses tickets, laundry services, free deposit of luggage etc. wifi is available thru out, even in rooms. Strong signal as well. Free walking stick (bamboo stick) for hikers. Come in handy for the wet stairs up the mt. Now the things that I think the hotel should improve: 1st the bath room. WC is next to shower point which gets the toilet seat wet. Maybe a partition from the shower will be great. 2nd: how about free instant coffee and tea since there is an electric kettle in the room? 3rd: since some of us really get up early to beat the crowd in emeishan, how about serving breakfast before 6am since the first bus up to emeishan is 6am? Overall, it's really a hidden gem. Well done for the staff and the owner!! Ps: sad to hear that their brown poodle passed away :(; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sofitel Chengdu Taihe; City: Chengdu Sichuan; Review: stayed in sofitel wanda chengdu on 9/9/13 for a night in one of the room on level 9, and another 3 more nights from 11/9/13 to 14/9/13 at room 702. I have used up almost all my le club gold member points accumulated over the last 4 years in exchange for vouchers for the 2 stays. i have chosen sofitel for their good reputation and particularly sofitel wanda chengdu for the great location. it is situated opposite the river apart from a busy road, a 10 mins walk to xin nan meng intercity bus terminal and 5 mins walk to the nearest metro station. And ultimately, I wanted to use up my points before they expired. On my first stay for a night, i was given a room at level 9. the aircon was not working with the lowest temp. constantly maintained at 27 degree. we have to sleep in our perspiration thru out the night. TIPS: their twin rooms have a translucent glass partition from the room. so dont expect privacy for a good shower if you are there with your friends or guests. we have to shower with the lights off in the bath room for that minimum privacy. on my 2nd stay, we were given room 702. the air con in the room was better after we told the staff on our first visit. however, the fridge (minibar) in the room doesnt seems to be working. there is no stirrer or teaspoon provided. coffee, tea and sugar was not replenish daily till we have to call them. isnt that a SOP for housekeeping staff? no turn down service for a 5 stars hotel, its really a joke! they expect the guests to use their fingers to stir their coffee/tea or were they expecting us to use of toothbrush to do so? front desk staff can't speak a proper sentence of english for this 5 stars international hotel. they always look busy that makes me invisible when i stood right in front of them for almost 2 minutes upon checking out. concierge service: never greet their guests when they walked thru the main entrance. they were so afraid to see us they have to walk away or pretend to be occupied. or maybe they were really occupied with whatever. breakfast buffet on the 14/9/2013. no teaspoon on our table for coffee. this hotel's teaspoon is really precious.... coffee was served with lots of coffee grounds in it which taste like we were drinking coffee with soil. food items were not replenish even when it was only 9am, where it ends at 10am. felt like eating some left over food. utterly disappointed with sofitel wanda chengdu. does not live up to its standard at all.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hilton San Diego Airport Harbor Island; City: San Diego California; Review: Stayed 5 nights from 5-10 February 2014. Not the best location but it was near to the venue of the conference (@ Sheraton). The hotel provides free shuttle pick up from the airport and 4 times a day to the city. However, please note that you have to call the hotel reception if you need a pick up from the airport or downtown. There's only 4 scheduled timing for downtown which are 10am, 2pm, 4pm and 8pm. Special mention to front office supervisor, mr morales Gabriel, he has been very helpful during our stay. Bravo to him and keep up the excellent service! Otherwise, a cab from gaslamp to the hotel will cost about $15. Or you can ask at the reception for a free shuttle to the airport, that's where you can take bus 922 ($2.50 per trip) to downtown where you can change to other transportation. Get the day pass ($5 for unlimited rides) which is more worth it. Check in was swift (great to be a Hilton honors member). Checked in to room with marina view (west facing) on the 8th floor. Room was big with a king bed. I love the pillows! Firm yet fluffy! However, the mattress was to soft for my likings. Nevertheless I did had great night sleep. No minibar in room. Coffee maker machine and Coffee Bean coffee available. Iron and ironing board available. Another Hilton without in room slippers. No shower gel provided. No mug for toothbrushing in bath room. Bath room was kinda small. May be a problem for ladies who wish to put on their make up. Hair drier available. Room fixtures looks brand new. Can't find any flaws, except a minor tear found on the desk chair. Otherwise perfect! Love the small balcony that offer great view of the marina. We've gotten a family & fun package that includes wifi and breakfast. However it seems that wifi is free for all guests and only continental breakfast was given to us. The continental was quite pathetic to my standard. If you want to upgrade to a fell buffet breakfast that only add in 6 extra items ( sausages, scramble eggs, Californian biscuit and beacons etc) which cost an extra $6 each.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dusit Thani Maldives; City: Mudhdhoo; Review: The moment we touched down at Male international airport and clearing immigration, we were greeted by Dusit's representative. We were ushered to the Transmaldivian seaplane check in counters (few meters away from arrival gate) and had our luggages tagged and obtained our boarding passes. Our luggages were handled from that point till arrival in the villa. We were chauffeured on a private sedan to the seaplane terminal (less than 5mins drive). Upon arrival, another friendly Dusit's representative greeted us and brought us to the Dusit Thani lounge on the 2nd floor. The lounge looks clean and brand new with a balcony that oversee the seaplanes berthed at the harbor. There were sandwiches specially made hot upon request and assorted cookies etc plus nespresso coffee and other beverages + free wifi and a cold tower upon arrival. Procedures on Checking into resort also took place here. Excellent service there! Prior to departure, we were escorted to the tiny gate and ear plugs were supplied for the noisy seaplane. Personally, I think Dusit really takes comments from guests seriously from trip advisor as I remembered reading that a guest mentioned about supplying ear plugs. It isn't that noisy, it was bearable for me. The seaplane ride took us +/-45 mins over the Maldivian sea. View was Amazing! According to the Dusit staff, it's actually only a half hour flight (128km from Male) but we were scheduled on a flight that reaches coco palm prior to dusit. It's an advantage for us cos we get to see more islands along the way :) Note: the seaplane can be quite hot when they're about to take off as they need to conserve power I guess. The seaplane flew pass Dusit island before they made a sharp turn around and almost 45degree landing. Thrilling! So make sure your cameras are in standby mode. The plane berth beside a stand-alone platform and Dusit's ferry will fetch you almost immediately once the seaplane crew brought our luggages down. We were greeted by our butler mr Riyaz on the 2-4mins ferry ride to Dusit's jetty. A warm welcome by hotel staffs on the jetty n we proceeded to the buggy that drove us straight to the ocean villa (room 212). There was total privacy on our deck with only occasional guests snorkel by (which they are not suppose to as the current is too strong although water there is shallow). We saw sea turtle, eagle ray, cuttlefish etc from our private deck. There were dolphins from afar too! Note: From the reception area beside the Market restaurant, it's a nice +/-5mins stroll to the ocean villas. Bicycles were available but we rather walk and enjoy the greeneries every day. After Riyaz's clear explanation, we can't stop admiring the villa, the infinite pool and the view! Awesome! (Look at my pics for self explanation) Nothing to complain but lots of praise. And for those who rated Dusit badly, it's a shame that u guys didn't enjoy your holidays and picking on insignificant details. How micro! Note: all indulgence package includes unlimited; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hiroshima Washington Hotel; City: Hiroshima Hiroshima Prefecture Chugoku; Review: The hotel looks pretty new. Located next to Hondori (shopping street) with some high end shops such as Armani jeans, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. Parco mall is just beside and sogo is about 5 mins walk. Roughly less than 20mins walk to atomic peace dome. Lots of okonomiyaki From Hiroshima train station, walk out by the south exit and board the street car (electric trams) number 1,2 or 6 (the journey takes about 10-15mins because they stop at every stops). Cost ¥160 and alight at Hatchobori (tram fare is flat ¥160 for all destinations on the hakushima line). 3 mins walk from street car stop. You may miss the hotel if you're not aware because it has a rather small entrance (look out for Armani jeans boutique) and the reception is at level 4. The lobby is functionable but on a smaller scale only 2 manned reception counters. However, it has a very Zen feel to it. The single room was clean and of a good size for Japanese standards. Although the semi double bed was parked next to the wide window that faces the shopping area, it wasn't noisy at all. Love the wide window! Mattress was great as I prefer it firm. Bathroom has a separate shower area from basin and WC. Bathtub was big and wide as compare with most 3-4 stars hotels in Japan. Not the typical Japanese plastic cubicle. Nice wall paper for a change though. Hotel provides Shishedo's shower products with Panasonic hair dryer and built-in in-room Panasonic's ionizer cum purifier. Auto flush WC. Smoking single rooms are situated at level 4, behind a sorta concealed key activated auto door. Friendly staffs were able to speak and understand English. Everything during my stay was great! However, I would suggest that the bed to be place away from the window because the curtain is directly beside the it. How often do they clean the curtains?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Norbuling; City: Thimphu Thimphu District; Review: Stayed at hotel norbuling from 19-21 October 2014. The hotel is located directly opposite the Changlimitang stadium where the Bhutan king had his coronation and the locals enjoying their soccer game and archery. Thimphu is an hour drive from Paro. A small city where one can explore on foot within 1-2hours. The hotel is less than 5 mins drive to Tashichho Dzong and about 10 mins drive up to the tallest Buddha statue (still under construction). There's a few mini mart beside the hotel (no fresh food). We got room 206 (twin bed). There isn't a view from this room, what we saw was only a dusty and lots of rubbish back alley. Room was big. Clean white sheets and firm beds with firm pillows! Lovely. The bathroom is big too. Nothing fanciful though. Shower gel, shampoo n hand soup provided. Hair dryer available as well. Flat screen tv with sufficient english channels. Mini fridge, electric kettle, fan, glass weighing scale, and electric heater available. Coffee n tea for free. No aircon, guess it's cold enough during this period. Room was clean and fairly well maintained. We have no problem with noisy barking dogs at night, unlike what other reviewers mentioned. However, ear plugs were provided in the room. Free wifi but strength was weak in room. One restaurant on ground floor where breakfast, lunch and dinner were served. Very simple breakfast: mango juice, cereal, oats porridge, chicken sausage, toast bread n eggs of choice prepared in kitchen. Dinner buffet has rice, 1 choice of pasta, and 4 dishes. Fruits and salad provided. There was a live performance singing at the small lobby on Sunday evening. 2 lap tops for guests use at the lounge. Staff were friendly and provided excellent service, especially the waitress in the restaurant! Kudos for the hospitality and keep up the good job! Note: Providing room slippers will be great as the bathroom floor was freezing especially in the morning. Extra light above the room mirror will allow for clearer view. Otherwise, job well done!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tenzinling Resort; City: Paro Paro District; Review: Stayed at Tenziling hotel from 26-29 October 2014. The hotel is situated on a slope led by a rough track from the main road. It is located approximately 20 mins drive to the base of Tiger's Nest and Paro international airport. About 15 mins to Paro town centre. Some "general stores" around the hotel and nice paddy fields to the left of the hotel down the dirt track. We were given a twin room at the newer block, room 407, away from the main block where restaurant and reception are. some reviewers said it can be quite disturbing to have rooms beside the kitchen. Room 407 seems to be at the newer block compare with those near the reception. It was spacious and ceiling was high. Mattress and pillows were firm. Hotel provides hair dryer, electric kettle, TV with sufficient English channels, electric heater and a mini fridge below the TV that was not working. Electric heater was not able to heat up the entire room, hence it was quite cold during the night at this time of the year. No portable heater upon request. Hot water was not consistent. There was no hot water at 7am on one day. Cold shower does sent chills down the spine! Hotel advices to wait for 30mins interval between showers for hot water. Only one blackout event at 4am when we were getting ready to catch our flight back. Took staff almost 20 mins to get the lights on. As the room is further to the back of the compound, it seems like there was a water pump just behind the room that gave a squeaky sound throughout the day and night which was quite disturbing. There were also people burning of wood just behind the fenced wall beside the room which the smell of the burning wood was strong. Bad odor from bathroom sewage. No shower curtain, hence bathroom got quite wet after shower. Bathtub has faulty plug which made the tub useless. Towel with stained and some were yellowish. Killed a few house flies in the room during our stay. No disturbance by dogs barking. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were great especially on our first night as there was a bigger group of guests. Subsequent meals were good too. Dinning experience and services were very much more than expected.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dragons Nest Hotel; City: Wangdue Wangdue Phodrang District; Review: Stayed here for a night on 21 October 2014 as part of the tour. We got a twin sharing room on the 2nd level just beside the carpark (room 103). The hotel is about 10mins drive from Chimi Lhakhang (Devine mad man's temple) or 45mins stroll. Nothing else within the area, which gives lots of privacy and peace. A small restaurant and a connecting lounge at the hotel's reception. Dinner buffet was fair, the cheese chilie is a must to try! They sell bottled water at the lounge at US$0.60 for a liter. All rooms has a balcony facing the river and balcony are east facing. So make sure to catch the sun rise from the valley. Room was basic. Firm mattress. Pillow case were kinda yellow. No aircon but ceiling fan was great! Nostalgic to sleep under the fan facing the old ceiling board. Some harmless tiny insects in the room but hey, it's part of nature. Hotel provides electric mosquito repellent but it wasn't necessary at all. Love the peaceful cool night sitting at the balcony with clear sky and for stars viewing. There were electric kettle (badly calcified), tiny electric safe (not for lap tops), TV with sufficient english channels, and water heater. Shower area was a disaster! Water sipped out of the glass door and "flooded" the entire bathroom. Sink gave a bad smell from the sewage. Information file was covered with layer of dust. Staff were always smiling and looked friendly. Wifi was available, however, it stopped working after 4pm that day and no wifi service till we checked out. Overall, I won't call this a hotel but more like a chalet. Love the view from the balcony but hated the shower.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Rinchenling Lodge; City: Bumthang Bumthang District; Review: Stayed at Rinchenling lodge on 23-25 October 2014. The short driveway into the lodge was quite rough and one would not realize there's a hidden gem within. The lodge is about 5 mins drive from the village center and about 5 mins to the 7th century monastery, Jambay Lhakhang; bhutan's most sacred kurjey Lhakhang monastery; and about 15 mins drive to 14th century Thangbi Goemba. We were given a twin sharing room, number 22. The room was facing a garden at a corner of the L shape single level block. There's another block behind us facing a smaller garden. Staff grew tomatoes, apple trees and lots of flowers all around. There was blooming sunflowers jus outside our windows! Lovely lovely lovely!!! The room was not too big but sufficient to move around, clean and neat. Seems like a new building as there was scent of refreshing pine smell from the pinewood lined room lingering. Mattress and pillows were firm and comfy. One has choice to either use the electric heater or the wood burning oven. Staff will help you set up the oven if you wanted the more authentic way. Lots of individually control lights in room which made the room more cosy. Electric kettle and hair dryer provided. Sufficient sockets for charging mobile and camera. Love this room situated at the corner of the block that allowed more sunlight into it. Wifi available. No tv. Meals were served in their dinning room which was very cosy as well. Staff will serve their dishes to you. Their garden grew fresh tomatoes with onion was delectable! The morning toast was fabulous as it has a tinge of sweetness. Seems like a family run lodge. Lots of staff. Very attentive and always put on a warm smile even though they seem to be be occupied most of the time. They have herbal hot stone bath which we didn't use. PS: 3 suggestions for the lodge to make it perfect! 1: TV in room. 2: additional light in bathroom. 3: A balcony/ platform with chairs outside each room if possible. Otherwise, it's so close to excellent! Well done guys! Continue to great job!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Mercure Phuket Patong; City: Patong Kathu Phuket; Review: Stayed at this hotel from 20-24 November 2014. Arrived at the hotel at 3pm. The reception was quiet and I was greeted with the expected Thai hospitality and warm genuine smile. Check-in was brief and precise. Welcome drink (a sweet floral purple drink), a nice purple colored cream puff and a refreshing cold towel were served. I love the minor details already! A very good first impression for first time guests! Hotel is located about 10-15mins walk to Junceylon mall and Bangla street in Patong. 2-3 mins to Hard Rock Cafe and Hooters. 5 mins walk to the beach passing by holiday inn resort. An outdoor night market opp the hotel but selling almost the same thing. The receptionist (Mr Tawich) told me that the room which I was allocated have to undergo some minor repair and touch up for the bathroom which will take an hour. However, before informing me about this, they have passed me a personalize letter to inform me that I will be receiving complimentary usage of the executive club house (3-5pm for hi tea), free use of wifi in room and around the hotel, 2 free press per guest etc. The receptionist was so apologetic when I have to wait for the room. It was alright for me as I was not rushing (I'm on a relaxing slow pace holiday! Just don't understand why some reviewers want everything stat and fast. Maybe they were rushing or want their every cents worth). They even sent us a fruit platter in the evening to apologize for the inconvenient caused. The receptionist ushered me to the club house across the pool. He showed me around and brought me to this clean, quiet and chic club house (apart from some loud speaking HKers who spoke so loudly that they have to eat something here cos it's free. Haha.. Nothing against them but it's jus typical asian just like me too). The seared tuna was great! The receptionist came back to me in less than an hour. I was escorted to room 117, pool access room with king bed. The room was at one corner or the block which gave relative privacy and away from the kids pool. Hence it was quiet enough. However, there isn't much sun due to the blockage. Sun will shine on our patio around 11am. Room was cosy and great lightings that created a nice ambient. The room was pretty small. Only one chair in the room. Not much of storage area hence our belongings were all placed on the table and no place for lap top. Mini bar, fridge, bathrobe, room slippers, hair dryer, electric kettle, safe, umbrella, and tiny toiletries were provided. Shower area tends to get part of the bathroom wet as there was only a small partial of it was covered by glass panel. Vanity glass top beside sink was too flimsy and not able to put heavy lotions. Some reviews mentioned that this hotel was only opened recently this year. However, mold was noted at some parts around bathtub and sink area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kyoto Itoya Hotel; City: Kyoto Kyoto Prefecture Kinki; Review: Stayed at Itoya Kyoto for 2 nights from 1-3 December 2014. As this was not my first trip to Kyoto, its was an ease to find the hotel. However, for the purpose of other reviewers, I shall give a clear direction from Kyoto (JR) station. From Kyoto (JR) train station, exit to the main entrance facing the Kyoto Tower. Turn right and take the escalator to the basement mall or if you are able to find the Karasuma subway line (Red Line). The nearest station to the hotel is Shijo station (2 stops from Kyoto station). One way ticket cost 210Yen. Take exit 4 if you need the lift or exit 6 which is nearest to the hotel (without lift). The hotel is about is 1 block away about 3-5 mins stroll. Location of the hotel is approximately 5-10 mins walk to Daimaru Kyoto at Shijo Dori or about 15 mins walk to Takashimaya, 30 mins stroll to Gion Yasaka shrine. I did walk to the Kyoto train station on my way back, which took a good 20mins walk, passing by Nishi Honganji. My advice is don't save that 210Yen on the subway if it is Summer. Nearby the hotel, there's some quiet restaurants. Don't be fooled by the quietness. There's a restaurant across the road from the hotel that serves delicious affordable grilled beef. A japanese pharmacy and 24 hours Family Mart few meters from the hotel. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel with bus number 5 and 26. 26 brings you all the way to Kinkakuji and 5 will bring you to Kawaramachi station (Kyoto's central). The reception of the hotel is situated on the second floor. Don't expect to see a lobby, but the dimly lighted reception add warmth to the ambiance with the chic Japanese minimalist "Muji" design. Checking in was easy. However, please note that check in time is 3pm, which is the usual for most Japanese hotels. I have reserved and given a smoking double room on the their floor. Please note that if you reserve a room on the hotel's website, you are not allow to get a double room with the price of a single guest. The cost of a double room is 20000yen/ night (incl taxes) during this period. The room was clean and does not have a strong stale cigarette smell even though it was a smoking room (unlike some hotel's where their smoking rooms smells bad). Nice individual control lighting which adds comfort to the tiny yet cosy room. Individual control air-con unit was powerful enough to warm up the room instantly. Separated shower area from WC. Bathtub was deep and wide enough for a 1.8 meter chap. TV has sufficient channels (incl English and Chinese channels), electric kettle with Japanese green tea bags, air purifier cum humidifier, toiletries (incl. toothbrush+comb+shaver+cotton swab+body towel for the bath tub) and 2 free bottled mineral H2O (500mls) per day, disposable room slippers and a bottle of fabric refresher spray. Although its a smoking room, I don't see any yellow stain on the; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Sunroute Aomori; City: Aomori Aomori Prefecture Tohoku; Review: Stayed here for a night on 14 Feb 2015 to break the journey from Tokyo to Sapporo. Cost ¥8000 a night for 2. The hotel is about 5 mins walk from the Aomori station. Check in was a breeze. Surprised that the counter staff was well versed in English given its location (locals in sendai region can't converse in English so well). Was given a room on the ninth floor. A smoking twin room. Room was bigger than the usual Japan's standard. However, bathroom was as usual tiny. Wifi signal was weak. Electric kettle, hairdryer, TV with no English Channel, air purifier with humidifier, room slippers, yutaka, and the usual Japanese hotels amenities in bathroom were all available. Some 24 hrs convenient stores around the corner of the hotel and a fair bit of late night eateries. Overall, room was comfortable, clean and beds were firm with nice firm pillows too. Location was great as well. Affordable for price.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kangetsuen; City: Otofuke cho Kato gun Hokkaido; Review: Stayed here on 18-20 Feb 2015 (Chinese new year) at their suite,明月, on half board. Cost about SGD $600 plus for 2 per nights from Booking.com Hotel is situated about half hour from Obihiro city centre. Obihiro is the capital city of Tokachi province, about 2.5hrs from sapporo and 1.5 hrs from Kushiro. If you are flying to Obihiro airport, which JAL and Air Do fly direct from Haneda airport which took 1hr 45mins. airport bus takes 40mins and cost ¥1000 each to obihiro JR station. On arrival at JR Obihiro station, proceed to the bus terminal outside of the train station. Approach desk staff for free local bus ticket to any of the Tokachigawa hot spring resort. Buses were small and may be packed. Passengers with big luggage have to hold on to their luggage on bus as there wasn't any place to store them on board. Bus leave from berth 6 at 0720, 0905, 1120 in the morning. While in the afternoon, buses leave at 1326, 1426, 1526, 1651 and last bus will be at 1811. The buses that leave at 1526 and 1811 will be boarded at berth 7 instead. If you forgot to obtain the free bus ticket, it will cost you ¥500 each. If you happen to arrive earlier at Obihiro and have some time to spent while waiting for the bus, there are coin lockers at the train station, a huge 4 stories department stores with a huge supermarket besides the train station or one can walk 3 blocks down to Fujimaru department stores. We stocked up some food as we knew there's not much stores around the resort. Although there's a 24hrs convenient store on the main road outside the hotel and the hotel has a souvenir store that sell some dry food and sweets, but they only only at 2pm till 10pm. Buses will stop right in front of the resort's entrance. Counter staff speaks minimal English but they are able to understand. Our suite 明月was situated at the top floor (level 5) facing the river and the bridge with no blockage. The suite was huge! Able to accommodate 4 adults. There where 2 twin beds and 2 futon beds. As there were only 2 of us, so the room was bigger as we did not utilize the futon beds in the living room area with tatami met. We were very amazed by the size and the fittings in the suite. There was a japanese sliding door which is able to divide the the room to a bed room and living area. Bath room has 2 separated sinks. Shower room comes with rain bath and anti slip flooring, such a delight for a warm shower. WC was separated from the bathroom which was great. Love the WC with auto sensor that will open up the WC cover and auto flush. There was a small sink in the WC with auto sensor too! And ultimately, your own personal outdoor hot spring at the balcony overlooking the river and the bridge!!! Amazing! The hot spring tub; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa; City: Takanawa Minato Tokyo Tokyo Prefecture Kanto; Review: Stayed here for the first time from 20-22 Feb 2015. We have booked a twin room on my friend's corporate rates which was about $160 SGD per night without breakfast. We were given a room at the 2nd floor facing the inner garden of another hotel. It was quiet and has lots of privacy from the balcony. Though not much sun. The hotel is situated on a slope about 10mins walk from Shinagawa JR station. If you are carrying large luggages, my advice is to utilize their free shuttle bus that leaves every 20-30mins. Room's thermostat doesn't seems to be working during our stay. We have to open the balcony door to cool down the room during that period of time which was still cold in Feb. Bed mattress was kinda soft for japanese standards. Pillows were too flat even with 2. Room size was consider big for japanese standards. The usual japanese hotels' amenities were available. Nothing extra ordinary. Although the rooms were recently renovated but the bath room seems dated. Lobby was huge as it is part of the conventional centre. Not too much of late night cheap eateries around the hotel. Overall, for the price we paid, it's worth staying for a short period. It was comfortable and quiet. But not the best location if you want to shop.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sakura Terrace The Gallery; City: Kyoto Kyoto Prefecture Kinki; Review: Stayed here for 6 nights from 12-18 September 2015. Booked a superior double room from Hotel.com at a price of SGD$1133. Hotel is located within 2mins walk from Kyoto Shinkansen (bullet train) station. Which is also the main transport hub for all trains around this region. Nearest convenient store is jus around the corner about 100meters away. There are two blocks for this boutique hotel, North and South. The north block is bigger than the south. Japanese Public bath/sauna and gym are located at the south, across the north block. Restaurant, laundry room, reception are at the north. Both blocks are equally nicely decorated and quiet even though it's near the train station. One can listen to to sound of cicada from the trees lined street below on a afternoon! Do take note that rooms in different blocks offer rooms that may be different in size under the same category. Apparently the north block has bigger rooms. Love the open concept style at the lobby area! There's one free drink everyday at their lounge. I would said this is the biggest room in a non international brand hotel i ever stayed in Japan. Like most local hotels, there isn't a wardrobe in the room. There was a 2 seater couch with a coffee table. Balcony was big enough with 2 chairs and a coffee table. There isn't much view except to peek into opposite blocks of residential apartments. Size of bathroom was typical Japanese plastique type with bathtub slightly bigger than those 3 stars local hotels. Amenities in room include: hair dryer, electric kettle, LED TV with some English channels, nice comfortable unisex yutaka as pyjamas or for the use of their public bath/sauna at the south block, toothbrush, shaver, comb, bath towel for a good scrub, toiletries, and bed side alarm. Individual control AC. Wifi was not best but sufficient for web browsing. There is coin operated laundry at the 2nd floor. Seems like the restaurant is pretty good as it seems crowded during evenings. Oh, and they have live singing at the lobby while enjoying a free drink. Overall, am very satisfied with my stay. The only set back: location is away from Kyoto center of attractions which is sijo area. However, if you don't want to lug your heavy bags around and wish to put down your luggage as soon as you alight from the trains, it has the best location.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zhangjiajie Pullman Hotel; City: Zhangjiajie Hunan; Review: Stayed here for 2 nights from 15-17 November 2015. We reserved a superior twin room without breakfast at the price of approx SGD$160 a night. The hotel is located about 45 mins drive from Hehua Dayong Zhangjiajie airport. The airport is located at zhangjiajie city. Whereas the hotel is actually at Wulingyuen town. Local cab should cost ¥150 for one way. We booked a private car with driver on-line which also cost ¥150 one way. It's the only international brand hotel at Wulingyuen; about 15mins walk to the entrance of zhangjiajie national park, which is also known as Wulingyuen. Beside the hotel is a tourism theater with ridiculous and a mediocre live show every night at 730pm. Cost from ¥230-290 per pax. Suggest to skip this if you have watched better productions in other part of China. There are quite a lot of decent local restaurants and cafes on the right after crossing the bridge after the theater. About 10-15 mins stroll. However the hotel also has a restaurant by itself and a lobby bar. Room service price seems decent but we didn't try. Breakfast served at the main restaurant can be crowded during peak Season and when large tour groups are around. Be prepared to share table with others. Spread of buffet breakfast was decent. Nothing to hype about. We were given room 3608 on the 6th floor facing another block with some side view of a near by hill. The room was big, as well as the bathroom. Bathroom comes with separated shower and bathtub. Room came with all toiletries and electric kettle and hair drier. Room was clean and well maintained. Bed was of double size. Mattress was soft and pillows were soft and flat too. Not to my likings but one will be dead tired after a whole day visiting the Wulingyuen. There is a huge pool too. But the weather was too cold for anyone. A sundry store at lobby that sells very basic stuff. A travel consultation room was available too. Now, my suggestions for improvement for the hotel: The glass lift at our blocks smells funny. The corridor to our room was too dim. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Conrad Bangkok Hotel; City: Bangkok; Review: Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in 22-24 April 2916. The hotel is about 5-8mins walk from Ploen Chit BTS station and about 40mins from the international airport (including light traffic jam). Cost about UD$12-15 for the cab fare not including toll. The hotel provides frequent bus service to the BTS station. I was greeted by my surname when I got off the taxi on arrival. Amazing! I was also checked in by a friendly customer orientated front staff too. Can't remember her name but she has a Japanese name. Checking in was a brief at 7pm. I had reserved a terrace suite for 2 nights with a king bed on the hotel's website which cost me about SG$370/night. Do download the Conrad apps for checking in and request for amenities on arrival. I was given room 2809 on the 28th floor. There are limited terrace suites so book in advance. The suite was huge! A living room with a study desk at the corner filled with lights from the big windows and a shelf with some books. The king bed and pillows were excellent! Love the high quality beddings and sheets. Bathroom with a huge bathtub beside the window and the shower was flawless. Love the bathroom amenities as well. One can request for the Shanghai Tang amenities and they will top it up every day. The towels were so fluffy and smells so nice. Wifi was strong too. The terrace has 2 deck chairs for sunbathing and a dinning table. As a smoker, the reason why I chose the terrace suite was that this hotel is a non smoking hotel. However I understand the management allow smoking in the terrace as they provide ashtray. As I stayed in the terrace suite, I was allowed to use the executive lounge on the 29th floor where breakfast was served. Quite a wide range of items for an executive lounge and staffs served with a warm smile all the time. Everything was perfect, and I had a wonderful stay. One suggestion for hotel management: try to take note of guests' birthdays and try surprising us. My friend was quite disappointed as this was his first birthday with Hilton without a slice of cake from the hotel. Hahaha...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel 3 Nagas Luang Prabang MGallery by Sofitel; City: Luang Prabang Luang Prabang Province; Review: Stayed here for 3 nights from 24-27 April 2016. Chose this hotel as it is under the Accor group and right smack in the centre of the historical old town. It is located about 15mins car ride from the airport. Check with hotel for airport transfer. A return transfer cost US$25 on a Honda CRV. Wet towels and cold bottle of water provided upon arrival in the car. Great service! Hotel staff will be carrying a wooden hotel sign waiting at the arrival. I must say that they do respect privacy. Check in was a brief as I had reserved the hotel from the official website. Cost about US$300 plus for 3 nights including breakfast in a king bed deluxe room. Seems like they only have deluxe room and nothing more luxury. The hotel consist of 3 small buildings of 2 level. The main building where the reception and main bar service are, are across the road of 2 buildings where breakfast are serve and there's a back garden. If one got the right room at the further back building, one may have partial view of the nam khan River. I was given room 5 at the main building at the 2nd level. There's a balcony which didn't offer much privacy as other rooms share the same balcony. Although there were screens in between rooms, chairs and a coffee table and fan, but there was also something which not many people appreciate: Gecko! Huge gecko (I think it's a permanent resident there) which made noisy sound through out the nights! It's really a pest! The room is divided into living room and bedding area. There's no tv in the room. Electric kettle, hair dryer, weighing scale, mini fridge, strong wifi, a ceiling fan and strong air con for the sweltering heat. Bedding was excellent and comfortable. Bathroom has strong exhaust fan. Basic toiletries provided with disposable toothbrush and comb. When we were there, there were 2 nights of thunderstorm with strong wind, which blew off some dust falling from the ceiling. The room wooden floor makes cracking noise when walk on and there's many gaps between Windows and doors. Which I found it very rustic and lovely! It's a centurion and a unesco listed building! Breakfast served were delicious. Seems like one is only allow to order one main from the menu. The main was pretty small in serving but they do have free flow of pastry, cereals and fruits. Try the congee and noodle soup, it's delicious! Not forgetting that the morning daily monk receiving alms is only just along the street of the hotel. Be sure to get your hot spot by 530am as many tourists arrived by car. One can also enjoy the spa at Sofitel (previously de la Paix) with a free pick up and drop off. They offer 50% on all spa treatment when we were there. The hotel is also surrounded by many nice restaurants and cafes. It was a pleasant stay for us (minus the gecko) and will defiantly stay there again if going back.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston Downtown; City: Boston Massachusetts; Review: Stayed here for 5 nights from 15-20 June 2016. The hotel is conveniently located just beside the Turfs Medical centre stations (which is literally beside the medical center itself). Just across the street will be Chinatown and in fact, from turfs medical center station to the next station which is china town is merely less than a block away. It's about 15mins walk to the old state house and 10mins to Boston common (the beginning start for the freedom trail. I actually strolled from Bunker Hill monument back to the hotel which took me 40mins and 15 mins walk to Copley Place. Overall, it is centrally located and I basically need not take any public transport-except to the airport. We were given room a room on the 6th level facing Eliot Norton park which I think is more quiet than those rooms facing the medical centre's ER (siren from ambulance). The room we had seems to be newly renovated with high ceiling- Felt roomy. The bed was comfortable and I love the tall window. There isn't a mini fridge in the room but has an electric safe big enough for a 15inch lap top. The bathroom vanity top looks new but the shower is as old. Tiny shower with limited space for toiletries. Wifi in room had relatively strong signal. We did not try their breakfast but I saw a signage for full continent breakfast will cost $19 and a quick breakfast will be around $14. There's a Starbucks at the lobby of the hotel. Smoking only allow at the side entrance of the hotel. Overall, we had a great experience with the hotel. Won't mind staying there again for the good location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sofitel Hangzhou Westlake; City: Hangzhou Zhejiang; Review: Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights on 15-17 October 2017. The hotel has an excellent location for visitors to the West Lake, away from Most crowds but within a stone throw to most eateries. It took us 20mins, ¥36 by taxi towards the Hangzhou East Railway station (where all bullet trains will arrive from major cities) and only ¥4 per pax for the metro (7 stations on the Red line) which took us about 35mins. The nearest metro station to the hotel is Ding An road which is 5mins walk. It does save a lot on metro, however there are a few underpasses which you have to carry your luggage down the stairs if you are taking the metro. So my advice is to take a taxi. The hotel is merely a 3mins walk to the West Lake; 5mins walk to Hubin Road where all the international brands boutiques are and the a number of eateries; 15mins walk to Hefen street-a well conserved Song Dynasty buildings lined pedestrian walk with interesting old medicinal halls, and just parallel to Gaoyin street with lots of local cuisines. To walk towards Leifeng Pagoda, it took us about 20mins stroll (clockwise) through the beautiful lake and approx 30mins (anti clockwise) to Pagoda Baochu. As a Gold Accor member, we felt very welcomed at this hotel. I would say this is the best Sofitel I’ve stayed in China so far in terms of services! All the staff were very service orientated and everyone greeted us genuinely with a warm smile, even though we are Asians. We were upgraded to the executive floor and were given room 507 situated on the 5th floor overlooking the city and part of Pagoda Baochu. The twin room was spacious with a working desk and a lounge chair. Beds were of Super single size with fluffy down duvet. Bathroom with separated bathtub and shower area. Love the shower with strong water pressure! Room has plenty of lightings options which made it very cosy. Connecting rooms available. Fruits and some local tea snacks were provided in the room on arrival. Amenities in room: hair dryer, iron and ironing board, electric safe and kettle, coffee machine, mini bar, Lanvin toiletries, bath salt and loofa, fluffy disposable slippers and bathrobe and pillow menu. The executive lounge on the same level was equally well appointed and conducive. Usually I do not utilise executive lounges but this was so cosy, we have to visit it on both nights for a drink. Coffee served at the lounge was aromatic and strong. Daily breakfast was served at the lounge as well with fantastic varieties. Kudos to the gentle and gracious yet dynamic lady (with glasses) who served us on both nights at the lounge! And the lady who provided us warmth services on both breakfasts. Hotel management have trained their staff well! Pardon me for not getting down their names. Keep up the excellent work! I would strongly recommend this 2 ladies for an award by hotel management! Hospitality we have experienced during our 2 nights stay was; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Huangshan Yucheng; City: Huangshan Anhui; Review: Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights on 17-19 October. The actual location of the hotel is Tunxi town, which the local call it Huangshan City. It is located about 25mins drive and ¥35 from Huangshan North railway station (bullet train) and 20mins to Tunxi airport (¥30). It took us about 35mins stroll to the old street, 50mins drive to base of Yellow Mt and 70mins to Hong Village. There are a few local eateries around the hotel, and all does not comes with English menu. However, I strongly recommend 2 of the local restaurant for dinner, one just behind the hotel across the street (茂祥酒家) and another one which is just on the left of the hotel (菌子兰). We had relatively cheap dinners at both place which only cost us ¥100 for 2 veg dishes and 1 meat dish. Servings were more than enough for 3 pax. There were also grocery stores behind the hotel too. We were given room 546 on the fifth floor. A twin bedded room with partial view of the river. The room and bathroom were spacious. However, it seems to me that there was some negligence in maintenance of the hotel. Paint were peeling, scratches, stain and marks on wall and other fixtures. I believe there were glorious day. Wifi were weak and the aircon is centrally control even though there was a aircon controller in each room. We spent 2 nights literally perspiring as the temperature were kept at 24-25 degree. We were told to open the window, which we did not as there were some spider webs with spiders outside the window. Breakfast room was dark and crowded at 7am. It can be quite adventurous when the local guests dig and sweep away most of the stuff. Advice either you be there at 6am or after 9am. Nevertheless, varieties were plenty!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Pullman Brussels Centre Midi Hotel; City: Brussels; Review: Stayed at this hotel from 9-13 Dec 2017 for 4 nights. The hotel was located within the Brussels Midi station complex. It’s about 20mins stroll to the Grand Place and 17mins to the Manneken Pis. There’s some affordable eateries and a well stocked carrefour express at the train station. Only a few restaurants around the hotel which serve pub food. As an Accor Gold member, I’ve requested for an upgrade at no cost to a superior room. I was given room 739 on the 7th floor facing directly some office complex with partial view of the Atomium. The WC is separated from the bathroom. Amenities available in the room: electric safe; electric kettle and hair dryer; Nespresso machine with 4 capsules replenishes daily; TV with free movies; Bose speaker for iPhone docking; weighing scale; mini fridge with 2 free bottles of water replenishes daily; iron and board; toiletries and strong wifi. The room was relatively clean and well maintained, except for the WC area where pee stains can be seen on the wall. Bed was firm with heavy duvet. Individual control AC. I had 4 peaceful rest without any sound disturbance. All fixtures were great except for human factors. I’ve arrive at 12pm on a Saturday where the lobby and reception was quiet. 2 staff at standing at the reception staring at the comp without realising I had stood in front of them for 5-7mins. Either they were hoping that I will not approach one of them or they were really busy with no guest. The reception staff (male) who attended to me must have got a frozen zygomaticus major muscle. In fact, all the staff whom I’ve encountered at the reception displayed the same expression. Perhaps it was too cold that they can’t put on a smile or is it a uniform expression among them? Although check in was at 1-2pm, which is common. However, This is the first Accor hotel that does not allow exceptional early check in- suppose the hotel manager will explained that the hotel was full. Lastly, there were issues with the card keys. Lift’s security system was not sensitive to detect keys, I was advised to keep the card keys away from mobile phones for interference. In conclusion, for convenience and peaceful rest, this is one good hotel; just don’t bother about personal touch or expect to be treated/ welcomed as a loyal Accor member.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Novotel Warszawa Centrum; City: Warsaw Mazovia Province Central Poland; Review: Stayed at this hotel for its proximity location on 24-27 Feb 2018. It is situated approx 7-10mins stroll from Warszawa Central train station and 15mins walk to the old town. No problem finding eateries and convenience stores around the building. One will not miss the hotel as the tall building is standing out among the shortest buildings. Do note that if you’re carrying large luggage, one have to climb the stairs for the round about underpass besides the hotel if you’re coming from the train station. I arrived on a Saturday at about 2pm. Although I’ve checked in on-line in advance, but there was still a queue. Not much of a hassles. I was given room 2816 on the 28th floor facing the Stadium. Do ask for room facing the Palace of culture and science building- which offers a better view. The executive room was kinda small if it’s for 2 person. It seems to have been refreshed recently. Nevertheless it was find for me as a solo traveller. Bed mattress was firm but the pillows were unusual. Strong wifi available, electronic safe, Nespresso machine with 3 capsules a day, electronic kettle, mini fridge with 2 bottles of mineral water, hair dryer and basic toiletries. Unlike most European hotels, there’s no iron and ironing board in room. Water pressure from the shower was pleasant. I’ve had a meal for dinner at the Novo 2 restaurant. A goulash soup and a large portion beef burger. It was huge and reasonably priced. Basically Poland is one of the most affordable EU countries. Did not try their breakfast and the breakfast room looks tiny for a huge building. Didn’t encounter any staff during stay. The restaurant staff were service orientated, but the reception staff should put on a smile.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Krakow Stare Miasto; City: Krakow Lesser Poland Province Southern Poland; Review: Stayed at this hotel from 27 Feb to 3 March 2018. The hotel is directly opposite Kraków Glowny train station (main station). It has a superb location! Jus opposite the hotel where the train station is, it’s a big shopping mall with lots of fast food choices and telco companies. It’s approx 20mins from Kraków airport by train, and 10mins stroll to the heard of the old town (Rynek Glowny). I was given room 619 (prestige room with terrace) on the 6th floor. The room was huge for a solo traveller like me. Good enough for a family of 4 where the sofa can be turned into a sofa bed. Love the terrace where I can smoke! The king size mattress (seems like memory form) was firm and very comfortable! Bathroom shower has good water pressure. Amenities in room: electric safe, iron and ironing board, bathrobe, slippers, Nespresso machine, electric kettle, mini bar, hair dryer, a smart phone for guest during their stay to use as a guide to the city, and strong wifi. I had tried the restaurant for dinner on a Friday night. It was quiet at 8pm. The meal was enjoyable and reasonably priced. I also tried the breakfast buffet for one morning which was excellent with wide varieties of hot dishes. The staff who served me were during the evening of Friday at the restaurant were extremely enthusiastic and full of smile! Checking in and out was fast and staffs were very friendly (to an Asian like me). This is a bunch of best Mercure staffs! Kudos to the management for training them well! Keep up the good work!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ilayda Avantgarde Hotel; City: Kusadasi Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: Stayed at this hotel on 14-16 October 2018. The hotel is right smack in the centre of Kuşadası. Approx 50mins from Izmir airport, 20mins from Selçuk where Ephesus is, 2hrs 45mins drive to Pamukkale and 15mins walk to Güvercinada fort. Many restaurants around the hotel which are reasonably priced, and a Starbucks at the lobby that sells the cheapest coffee! We were given room 310 (twin) on the 3rd floor. The room has a tiny patio which barely fit one person with minimal partial sea view. Size of room was reasonable for 2 adults. Amenities include: Electric safe, hair dryer, electric kettle, 2bottles of water replenish daily, disposable slippers for 2, strong wifi, basic toiletries and empty mini fridge. Our package comes with half board. Breakfast comes with minimal hot dishes but plenty of local salads. The amazing sea view on the 7th floor for breakfast was breathtaking! Dinner on our first night was at their Sister hotel 2buildings away. It was a set meal with salad, soup and mains. On our 2nd night, dinner was served at the same restaurant for breakfast in buffet style with kinda pathetic varieties. Overall, the hotel has a good location, counter staff was friendly, and room was clean. The downside: bathroom has semi translucent glass panel which one is able to “almost” see your Friend in shower and minor details in bathroom needs repair such as rotting wooden fixtures due to splash from shower.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wyndham Costa Del Sol Lima Airport; City: Lima Lima Region; Review: Stayed at this hotel on 2 occasions upon arrival in Peru and before departure on 20/4 and 28/4/19. We had booked this hotel for the convenience of the only airport hotel in Lima. It is located directly across the road from the airport and approximately 25mins drive to the Plaza De Armas de Lima and 40 mins to Miraflores when there’s smooth traffic. We had booked private taxi from the concierge which cost flat rate of 50 Sol to plaza de armas and 60 Sol to Miraflores. We had a standard king bed located at the level 3. The room was very basic with minimal amenities which is not worth mentioning. Pillows were flat and the tv apparently had limited run time. Breakfast varieties was fair and when we were there at 8am, even when there was less than 10 occupied tables, but all unoccupied tables were dirty and not set up after the previous diner. There is a 24 hrs spa available- which I heard from another traveler that it was junky. There isn’t any convenient shop but a jewellery counter (who on earth will buy jewellery?). Front desk staff speaks fairly well English but isn’t the most welcome and friendly bunch I’ve seen. Nevertheless, the concierge spoke better English and was able to give good recommendations and suggestions.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: NuTone LA600WH Universal Wired/Wireless MP3 Doorbell Mechanism, White; Brand: Nutone; Review: I bought this unit because it is the only one I could find that could use custom .mp3 files. Some of the other reviews discussed volume level. This unit has a small speaker, it is powered by (3) D batteries. It has three volume levels. The highest setting works about as good as you're going to get out of the speaker. In addition, as mentioned in other reviews the cover does reduce the volume about 10% to 20%. I didn't find it to be a problem. The doorbell transformer serves to trigger the unit and light the door bell switches if you have them. Be sure to use the diode and follow the directions on the wiring. The unit includes a USB cable and you can plug it into your computer and download just about any .mp3 file you want to it. There is about 100 megs. of memory so you can put about 15 full length .mp3 songs on it. There are plenty of software programs out there to customize your music, sounds, or whatever you want. I used a popular program that starts with A, with the program you can edit for length, effect, etc. Just a note. The unit lets you toggle through four different play lengths of up to 20 seconds. or the whole song. When you preview on the unit with the selection for the whole song it will only play about 30 seconds; however, the full song will play if the button is pushed. The unit plays voice pretty good so don't feel like you are limited to basic melodies or bells. I installed a selection of songs that I like. Plus, you can change up the line up for the holidays. You can select different songs for front and back door. Or in my case front door, and an i/r beam I put up at my front gate to let me know when people drive on the property. Bottom line there isn't another unit out there that will let you do what this one does. My wife loves it!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Handheld LED Tactical Flashlights – Professional Series ZX-1XL Kit – Super Bright 1600 Lumens – 5 Light Modes, Adjustable; Brand: Solaray; Review: The flashlights arrived in a very nice case suitable for gift or just storage. The main light utilizes the rechargeable batteries with the using one battery at a time. The smaller light uses a single AA battery, not included. The kit also includes replacement o-rings and a triple AAA adapter for the main light. The lights have six modes and also a handy memory feature to save your last setting. The quality of the machining and finish is excellent. These are not $5 bargain store flashlights! The beams are controlled by a slide barrel and not "screw" so adjusting the beam is pretty quick and easy. Lights usually look pretty bright indoors. I've attached some photos of some pictures I took of the light beams off of my back porch. The distance to the trees is about 60'. A test setting that eats up light pretty quick. Due to the digital camera the pictures only display the light at about 1/2 of how bright it really is so take that into account. Both lights adjust from a very large flood to a narrow beam. At it's very narrowest setting the beam displays the "square" shape of the LED module. Not an issue really, just different. The main light does have a slight outer ring artifact at the mid-flood setting. The picture with the three light beams in it includes the ZX-2 light included on a different review. Just a comparison it is the medium light.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Pass & Seymour 5406BKCC10 Feed Cord Switch, 6-Amp, 120-volt, Black; Brand: Pass & Seymour; Review: Well made switch for the money. Split the zip cord, run one leg through the bypass channel.

Title: KES S2008A-5 Bathroom Faucet Vessel Vanity Sink Pop Up Drain Stopper with Overflow, Gold; Brand: Kes; Review: After buying the $10 specials at the home improvement stores, this product is in a different league. Made of solid stainless, hefty. I installed in a normal sink and did use the bowl gasket to retain water in the bowl. The gasket did not hold the stopper high. The push button operates very easily but big in diameter compared to a normal drain. The pop up cap easily unscrews if you need to clean out a clog. I wish I would have bought these years ago.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Tools_and_Home_Improvement |

Our room on the 6th floor had a great seaview and a small balcony from which we could see Vesuvius across the Bay of Naples. The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the old town centre or the beautiful seafood restaurants of Marina Grande immediately below the hotel. Our room was extremely comfortable, clean and everything we could have wished for. The staff and management went out of their way to ensure that we enjoyed our time in Sorrento.

The property is an oasis of calm in a delightful town. It is hard to leave the pool and garden to visit the many attractions in the Loire valley but the effort is worth it.

Title: Slieve Donard Resort and Spa; City: Newcastle County Down Northern Ireland; Review: We had two friends visiting from England so decided to eat at the Slieve Donard Hotel. For such an expensive, luxurious hotel the restaurant is a real let down. The waiters were young and seemed inexperienced but willing to help. Our starters, scallops, were good but not exceptional and the smoked duck was extremely fatty. The mains were served under silver salvers which seemed pretentious. My roast salmon was nice but served on a bed of very thick and gooey risotto. My wife had sea bass which was just alright. Our friends had a steak and chips which was good and chicken which was not very appetizing. We had asked for the seasonal veg and some boiled potatoes. These came half way through the meal and were cold. The waiter was very apologetic and got them reheated and we weren't charged, however, the veg were carrot and parsnip!! Is this the best that a 5 star hotel can come up with for seasonal veg? Where were all the green veg that we grow in N.Ireland? The bill for 4 two course meals and 2 bottles of wine was way over the top. If you want a good meal in Newcastle there are numerous pubs that serve much better fare for half the price. We won't be back as we were disappointed for our visitors.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hesperia Playa Dorada; City: Playa Blanca Lanzarote Canary Islands; Review: Excellently placed hotel on the front in Playa Blanca close to lots of great restaurants. Hotel food (buffet) was poor for a 4star hotel. De Luxe customers have a separate check in and restaurant but the food is the same. De luxe customers also have exclusive areas around the swimming pool with better beds and artificial grass to walk on. Terrible idea to have two classes of guest. Information on the hotel is non-existent in the rooms and you have to keep asking at reception for information. Our room was good with a balcony and a bit of a seaview but we got evening sun which was nice. Wouldn't recommend paying for half or full board as there is so much great food close by.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Eden Hotel; City: Sirmione Province of Brescia Lombardy; Review: This hotel is one of the nicest we have stayed at.

Our room was overlooking a very quiet side street as we had left it too late to book a lake view, our mistake but our room was very good and spotlessly clean.

As such I have run these machines in our basement to get rid of musty odors, in our three vehicles to cleanse the ducts and interior once a month and even on our moored boat to get rid of any damp odors. Your clothes always smell fresh. Your dog will smell better.. You will be more energetic and in a better mood... Health-wise I have noticed every function in my body seems to work so much better and in our state (Ohio) my hair and beard grows all year long as though I live in a tropical climate. My skin is oily in the winter, the callouses on my feet are now gone and as a 50yr smoker I breath like I was 25 again and not 64yrs old with the big plus that my wife and I have become as friendly to each other as we were decades ago...it's that 03 that clears out the physical and mental cobwebs. Asa lifelong psychic I firmly believe that ozone destroys all dark and negative energy better than any sage-swee6grass smudge, incense, or prayer vigil making it "over time" a block to paranormal negative energy. It works not immediately...but acts like a sustained attack on filthy energy both in the physical world, but in the spiritual world as well. Spiritual warfare if you will. I also note that studies show that ozone defeats viruses, bacteria and cancer. Yes, cancer! The research is there. Just Google it. What you eat and breath determines not only moods but health outcomes. It is no other way.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ZNEY Air Purifier Ionizer Deodorizer 3,500 Sq/Ft Ionic Ozone Cleaner Ozone Generator for Dust, Pollen, Pets, Smoke; Brand: ZENY; Review: If you want your house to smell clean as a spring day all of the time no matter what is cooked, smoked or who has gas.... This baby is for you! I put it in our large basement for 5 days and all hints of a musty smell vanished and after weeks-still smells great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Black 7 Day Candle - 3 Pack; Brand: E Vigilia; Review: Diffuses negative energy. Will not chase out determined spirits but will deter nasty energy outbursts.

Customize beat suicide! {mine}; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: New Age Smudges & Herbs California Sage Bundle Smudge Stick, White; Brand: New Age Smudges and Herbs; Review: Sage is temporary only. It opens the light that you do not have within you. I tell folks that sage is a lie. I fell for it. God and the Light is the TRUTH. The Truth cannot be defeated and is certainly not temporary. Once the Holy Ghost is firmly planted within you NOTHING can overtake you or your home. The world is vibrational. Raise your vibration and these low vibrating pieces of dung flee from you.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Lilyette by Bali Women's Maximum Support Bra #908; Brand: ; Review: I have used the La Mystere bras for the past several years ($80) so I was skeptical of trying a less expensive bra. However, this bra is great. It is very comfortable and is definitely as supportive as the more expensive La Mystere. The cups are thinner, so I feel less restricted, but they are constructed of 3 parts and are structured so that they are very supportive and hold things up very well. I used the measuring method given, and the bra I ordered fit perfectly. Definitely will buy this again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NYDJ Women's Alisha Fitted Ankle Denim Jean; Brand: ; Review: It may be my fault for not really realizing what "fitted ankle" really meant. I usually wear a 12, so I order 10s and sometimes 8s in NYDJ, and they hold in my tummy so well that I am very devoted to them. I have a big tush but skinny legs so I try to get skinny leg jeans, but these take the cake. They fit so tight at my ankle that I feel like they look like leggings. I got a 10 in these, but they fit much too tight. Maybe if I lose a little weight they will look better, but for now, I just have to say they're just ok, not great; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Brinley Co Womens Pointed Collar Button-up Sleeveless Top; Brand: ; Review: I bought these shirts because they were on an unbelievable sale, and I like wearing shirts like this open with a tank top underneath it. I was so pleased that I actually wore it on its own, without an undershirt. The shirt is long and has an open slit at the sides which allows it to hang nicely and cover my tummy area without any stretching or gapping. It looks nice from the back and sides too because there is a seam at the upper back and it just has a good, finished quality to it. The fabric is nice and thick, not see through or anything. It's perfect for summer wearing with capris either over a tank or on it's own. Excellent value!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Lotustraders Poncho Top Ruffle Hippie One Size Q699; Brand: LOTUSTRADERS; Review: I gave this to my mom for Mother's Day, and she loved it! She is not a super large person but she is "plus-size", and it looked very nice on her. It didn't look like a huge muumuu as I feared, just as a nice, loose-fitting shirt. It's probably the only time I gave my mom clothes as a gift and had it work out! I will buy her more for her birthday.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bali Women's Shapewear Lace 'N Smooth Body Briefer; Brand: ; Review: Perfect! Not itchy as I had feared and the lace doesn't wrinkle the shirt or anything. I wear a bra with it and the cups are a little too big, but not a problem. A good item!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lotustraders Blouse Dress Mini Layered Gauzy Lagenlook Y984; Brand: LOTUSTRADERS; Review: I love these products from this seller. They are amazingly comfortable and flattering, and they look good with shorts, capris, and jeans. Also, I can seldom go bra-less, but this has several gauzy layers, so I can almost get away with it. I will always patronize this seller!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Piko Women's Famous Short Sleeve Bamboo Top Loose Fit; Brand: Piko; Review: Sorry to be repeating myself, but I love these shirts!! The sleeves are tight (not a problem in short sleeves, though it can be an issue in long-sleeved ones) creating a little ripple in the fabric that keeps it in motion instead of clinging to my love handles and tummy bump. It is incredibly comfortable, wrinkles fall right out, and I love it!! I bought several colors, and none were a disappointment!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Piko 1988 Women's Short Sleeve Loose Fit Bamboo Top; Brand: Piko 1988; Review: Sorry to be repeating myself, but I love these shirts!!

Title: Elomi Women's Caitlyn Underwire Side-Support Bra; Brand: Elomi; Review: This is a very comfortable bra, which I am not accustomed to finding at my size. However, after washing them a few times on regular cycle instead of delicates, the wire started slipping out the side. I am rough on my bras, but this didn't last as long as I hoped.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mordenmiss Women's Baggy Bib Overalls Denim Cotton Harem Wide Leg Jumpsuits; Brand: Mordenmiss; Review: Adorable! Very well made, I think it would fit anyone with a flattering look, and if it came in more colors, I'd order them all!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Owl Onesie Kigurumi Costume; Brand: SAZAC; Review: Though the seller that provided this to me (Canel) stank (promised it would be delivered by 12/24/15 but was instead delivered 1/4/16), the item itself is excellent. It is very, very soft and has lots of room for a variety of body sizes. Very glad I bought it for my college-aged son!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cole of California Women's Plus Size Sonoma Stripe Halter Tankini; Brand: ; Review: I didn't realize this didn't come with bottoms. Still, the top is excellent quality, the bra is strong and well made, and the straps of the halter allow me to get more lift because it's tied at the strength I want, instead of being clipped in a standard position. I'm glad I bought it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Alexander + David A+D Womens Casual 3/4 SLV Flare Tunic Shirt Top w Uneven Hem; Brand: Alexander + David; Review: Very nice shirt. The fabric feels something like piko brand, but it doesn't show bulges or bumps. It is loose at the bottom and looks good with yoga-type pants or leggings.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: UGET Women's Sweater Casual Oversized Baggy Off-Shoulder Shirts Batwing Sleeve Pullover Shirts Tops; Brand: UGET; Review: Excellent shirt, fit comfortably and was loose enough to cover any figure flaws and still look cute.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Curvy Kate Women's Luxe Strapless Bra; Brand: Curvy Kate; Review: These were lovely and felt very sturdy. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because the strap was seriously about 6 inches too short. I wear the same size in all Curvy Kate bras, so I have to think this was an anomaly. As always, return was simple.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: NYDJ Womens Marilyn Straight Corduroy; Brand: ; Review: I love these pants! I owned them in a size 8 several pounds (and several years) ago, and I loved them so much that I bought the exact same pants again but in a size 12 which I now wear. Lovely and awesome as always!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: HOT FROM HOLLYWOOD Women's Button Down Long Sleeve Classic Outerwear Denim Jacket; Brand: ; Review: I was surprised to see people had commonly said this jacket ran as expected. I thought it ran crazy small. I ordered a large and when it arrived, I thought perhaps it was a child's jacket. I returned it and purchased a XXL, and I am so glad I did. It is adorable! It is very stretchy, but it looks like a regular jean jacket. It is so comfortable too. The arms are longer than I expected, but I can easily roll them up because the inside cuff is just the same as the outside...it doesn't look inside out with one roll. I am probably going to buy the lighter wash too because I really liked this jacket. But I will buy the right size this time!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Brinley Co Women's Edie Ballet Flat; Brand: ; Review: These shoes are cute, comfortable and go with a lot of cute outfits, but they just are not durable. I did not expect them to last years given the bargain price, but I did expect months. Instead, I got about 6 weeks, wearing them 3 times a week or so. That being said, they were quite cute, comfortable, and didn't develop a foot-like odor at all.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Chaudry Ladies' Pull-on Skirts; Brand: ; Review: Surprisingly good quality! Lined, which was a nice surprise, and was heavier fabric than I expected. Perfect for travel. Will purchase another in a different color.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Superga Women's 2210 Cotu Fashion Sneaker; Brand: Superga; Review: These shows are very well made, durable, cute, and comfortable to wear. The only thing I would say is that all of the advice to buy a size down may be overstating it. I normally wear a 7.5 to 8. I bought the equivalent of a 7, and that was too small. I can still wear them, but my toes are right at the edge of the show and start complaining quickly. I would buy a half a size down, not a full size. But I definitely like these and actually came home from our trip and bought a similar pair.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Marmot Women's Precip Jacket; Brand: Marmot; Review: Based on the reviews, I thought this jacket was going to be amazing, so I decided to pay the extra few bucks. Meh, I am not impressed. It is a creative touch that it can be unzipped under the armpits to give extra ventilation, and the zippered pockets along with the mesh inside pockets are also handy, but that isn't something that can't be found in a less expensive jacket. It is very lightweight, and that's a plus. It is also nice to have a rain jacket that doesn't try to be a warmth-providing jacket (because more often than not, it is raining in warm weather, of it if is cold, I'm wearing a sweatshirt). It is a nice raincoat. No complaints.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: NYDJ Women's Billie Mini Bootcut Jean; Brand: ; Review: These are great jeans, and I love them. I would like to point out, though, that I paid $18.84 on July 3, 2017. Today is "Prime Day!", and Amazon is offering 30% off of these...but they raised the price to $184.00!! Wow! NYDJ are great jeans, and they are frequently priced as luxury jeans. The length of these is perfect, and the mini boot cut foot allows me to emphasize the thinness of my legs but wear shoes that look good with boot cut jeans. I would definitely recommend!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Amoy-Baby Women's Nightgowns Short Sleeves Cotton Sleepwear Print Sleep Shirt; Brand: Amoy-Baby; Review: Cute as a button, very comfortable, and definitely worth the modest price. I will buy more!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Travelodge London Hounslow; City: Hounslow Greater London England; Review: We booked this hotel as it was 2 mins walk to the station and a reasonable price for 3 nights. On arriving at the hotel, there were major roadworks being carried out and we thought it would be disruptive to us, but not at all, the noise wasnt heard in the hotel. We decided to take advantage of the unlimited breakfast for £7.95, kids eat free if you choose this option so well worth it if you traveled with children. The food was lovely and set us up for the long days ahead. There is no parking at the hotel but 3 mins walk away is an ASDA carpark which we left our car in for the 4 days and we paid by phone, which was a bonus because we didnt have to keep moving the car or going getting a ticket to display. It was £12 for more than 5 hrs, hrs being 8am to 5pm, after those times it was free. The hotel was clean and the rooms were nice, i would say the double bed was a little too hard for my liking but it was a cosy room to stay in, we were on the business floor and had 2 single beds in there for our children. Their beds werent that comfortable either but the sheets and pillows were clean. The water in the bathroom was hot and we had baths and showers each night. We had fresh towels daily. The staff were friendly and welcoming, overall a good hotel to stay in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Chesterfield North Hotel; City: Chesterfield Derbyshire England; Review: I booked this premier because it had a brewers fayre attached. I organised a surprise birthday at the restaurant and overall the experience was fantastic. The room was a family room and adequate. However the wifi was poor so had to upgrade to keep the kids happy while we had a few drinks in the bar after our food. The place was clean. Staff were lovely and will definitely return to this premier next time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Sheffield Meadowhall Hotel; City: Sheffield South Yorkshire England; Review: Stayed at this travelodge and pleased we did, the room was huge and the staff were friendly. Was well located for Sheffield Arena, even though it was near a busy road it didnt disturb us even with the window open. We didnt have breakfast, seemed a little expensive for what was there so we ate in Meadow Hall. We did have a drink in the bar area before we went to arena and although not all drinks were available we still had a nice drink and the staff were friendly and polite. The shower was lacking some proper pressure and kept going hot and cold but apart from that there was nothing wrong with this hotel, Cheap and clean. Will use again in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bridge Inn; City: Port Sunlight Wirral Merseyside England; Review: We booked here because it was considerably cheaper than any hotel in Liverpool. Ok its about a 20 min drive back to Liverpool but managed to get an Uber driver so was relatively cheap. The place itself is nice, its an old building so work does need doing especially to the windows, which are old and falling apart, the windows in room 10 were that rotten the panes had dropped and there was a huge gap but there were internal glass shutters which kept out the wind and noise. The room itself was good, clean and big enough. The bed was so comfy and the pillows and duvet were gorgeous. The tv was large but was unable to get many channels on it, but we werent there to watch tv. We had an early evening meal which was cheaper than some restaurants we have eaten at and the food was lovely, we had breakfast the next morning which was also nice and cheap. The staff were lovely and friendly and overall our stay was a good one. Would definitely go back there if i was going to another concert in Liverpool. The place surrounding the pub was quiet and we had a walk through it to get to the Bank which was 5 mins walk away.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Birmingham Nec Airport Hotel; City: Birmingham West Midlands England; Review: regretted booking this hotel when realised we would have to start looking for places to eat when we arrived, the restaurant isnt open until 6pm, not good when we had to be at the Arena at 6.30pm. Reception staff not very good, ours didnt tell us anything, apart from our room wasnt ready, we found out more information by listening to other staff telling their customers about where to eat etc. Glad i didnt pre book meal deal and breakfast on online checking now, would have been a complete waste of time.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Vicious Circle; Author: Visit Amazon's Wilbur Smith Page; Review: This book was more reminiscent of a Matthew Reilly novel rather than the well constructed and deeply engaging novels that make up Wilbur's earlier work.

Title: Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell: The Ultimate Collection; Author: Visit Amazon's Boris Vallejo Page; Review: I've been a fan of Boris Vallejo since the late 70's. He was a major inspiration for me in my own artistic aspirations. Say what you want about his composition or subject matter but you can't deny that he is the undisputed master of his technique. His wife, Julie Bell's style is almost indistinguishable from Vallejo's but she has mastered Boris' painting techniques with enough expert panache to make them her own. Although I wish there was more emphasis on Boris' earlier work, this book is a beautiful compilation of some of Vallejo and Bell's best work. The print quality of some Boris' classic pieces is below par for this type of book, but overall this is a must for longtime fans and newcomers alike.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Creepers; Author: Visit Amazon's David Morrell Page; Review: When I first heard about this book I wasn't sure what to expect from the creator of "Rambo". Was it a thriller? A horror novel? A military special ops story? Well, in a way, it's a little of all three. But mostly, it's the first thriller I've ever read that I can actually call a page-turner. I was actually tempted to take a day off work just so I'd have time to keep reading! Creepers is the story of a group of "Urban Explorers" who engage in dangerous (and illegal) archaeological expeditions into abandoned buildings. That might sound like enough to give you goose bumps but that's just the beginning of a very exciting and engaging adventure. As the story unfolds, the characters find themselves in a situation that is far more than they were prepared to handle and certain character revelations create some very unexpected twists. Morrell wrote the entire story in real time - no breaks from one scene to another. This puts the reader directly into the action, making you feel that you're truly experiencing events as they unfold. The characters are as one dimensional as you'd expect from this type of book. But who cares? The central character is the environment and the action that takes place there. If you're looking for a really fun, intense read, I strongly recommend Creepers.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Columbus Affair: A Novel (Random House Large Print); Author: Visit Amazon's Steve Berry Page; Review: If you are a devout Christian and hate thrillers, stay away from this book. For anyone else, however, I highly recommend it. I only wish it had been proofread more closely for typographical errors.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comic Artist's Photo Reference - People & Poses: Book/CD Set with 1000+ Color Images; Author: Visit Amazon's Buddy Scalera Page; Review: I'm surprised by all the positive reviews that this book/CD has been given. I bought it based on the feedback from other buyers and I was pretty disappointed. The lighting of most of the models is pretty good but the angle of too many of the photos is either straight-on or shot from above. This causes the models to look squatty and distorted. The choices for female models was pretty poor. I'm sure they are very beautiful in real life but their body types are not suited for this type of photography. I also discovered that there are photos featured in the book that are not included on the CD or website link. I was also disappointed to discover that the photos are not high resolution. They are only 72 dpi and not very good quality. There are very few books like this on the market and something like this is a nice alternative to the expense and time associated with shooting your own photos. Unfortunately, this book will not be the alternative I was looking for. Hopefully Scalera will release a future edition that will address these problems.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Kronos; Author: Visit Amazon's Jeremy Robinson Page; Review: Robinson friend-requested me on MySpace so I thought I'd give Kronos a shot. It looked like a 'Jaws' or 'Meg' type of thriller so it appealed to me. At three-quarters of the way through I was bored and could see where it was going. I don't know if Robinson was intending to write religious propaganda or what his beliefs are, but the story was beginning to feel pretty ham-fisted and went far enough into Biblical territory for the red flags to go up. "Giona"? A whale? Okaaaayyy? I don't think I'll be reading any more of Robinson's books.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The Black Box (A Harry Bosch Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Connelly Page; Review: Sometimes hard to follow due to the acronyms of the police and their terminology/procedures.

Title: Turn on a Dime - Blane's Turn (The Kathleen Turner Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Tiffany Snow Page; Review: One chapter in the past years ago then the next chapter current today. Focus of this book is the main character and his brother's relationship. Because I had read the prior book in the series, it spoiled the chapters of current today since it appears to be the same thing. However, this book did fill in some details that we not covered in the prior book. Ending could imply who did it or left open for another book.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Best Medicine (A Bell Harbor Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Tracy Brogan Page; Review: I read the book before this so had to read this book to find out what happens to the main character.

Title: The End of Feeling; Author: Visit Amazon's Cindy C Bennett Page; Review: Each chapter about one of the two main characters then the next chapter about the second of the two main characters. Story does flow along though. The girl is ashamed of her disabled mother that she hides. The boy is ashamed of his drunk dad abusing him that he hides. These secrets impact how they behave with friends in school. Together they trust each other finally coming out of their shells. It makes you think of what kids hide not knowing what goes on behind closed doors. One person not pushing but being there to trust can help the person hiding a secret because there are two sides to everything.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wreckage; Author: Visit Amazon's Emily Bleeker Page; Review: Normally I do not enjoy a book as much when one chapter is about the past then the next chapter is about the present being the present chapter about the male main character then the next present chapter about the female main character. You do not know what tomorrow will bring for them. Survival on an island after a plane crash. Losing a family member leaves 2 men and 1 woman. How will that turn out? Now 1 man and 1 woman fall in love and depend on each other for survival. They are rescued but what is life like telling lies in the interviews and being back in their normal life before the plane crash? How the truth comes out and the ending was worth reading this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Dead Key; Author: Visit Amazon's D. M. Pulley Page; Review: I particularly do not like books where you jump time frames with chapters. The beginning left me confused. One or two chapters could be covering characters and events from 20 years ago then the next chapter or two would be from the present day characters and what they were doing. It is my personal opinion that the story did not flow smoothly so I did not get into the story. I always read an entire book even if I cannot get into it. The ending did not sit well with me either.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mint Juleps and Justice (An Adams Grove Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Nancy Naigle Page; Review: Actually two suspense stories in the book. One with main character Brooke and her ex-husband and second with other main character Mike and when his wife was murdered. You know the suspense is whether Brooke will be able to get a divorce from her stalking ex-husband. Mike's suspense is the man who killed his wife and just got released from prison. Romance is how Brooke and Mike get to know each other plus Brooke's best friend has a romance with Mike's friend, who is also the brother of his murdered wife. I see where the Justice comes from in the title but it was not until the end that I understood where the mint juleps came from for the title. Easy reading in getting to know the characters and the story. The only part left hanging or I missed was what happened to Wheeler, the guy that helped the man out of prison and after Mike?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sanctuary Island: Sanctuary Island Book 1; Author: Visit Amazon's Lily Everett Page; Review: Sanctuary Island where the story takes place sounds like a relaxing down to earth place to live. Ella and her sister, Merry, are going to Sanctuary Island because Merry wants to reconnect with their mother. Ella, who has basically raised Merry after their father took the two girls, is going to please Merry. Upon arriving, Ella meets Grady who catches her eye for some reason. Ella is a strong-willed woman who helps Grady get past his scars to move forward, and Grady helps Ella grow herself when it comes to her sister and mother. The story progresses slowly as a friendship between Grady and Ella turning into a romance without the sex like most books. Good enjoyable book to read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shoreline Drive: Sanctuary Island Book 2; Author: Visit Amazon's Lily Everett Page; Review: Easy reading romance featuring Merry and Ben. Merry is pregnant and moved to Sanctuary Island to reunite with her mother. She is happy-go-lucky always smiling. Ben is the island vet who has lived on the island, for a few years, to escape a secret and his wealthy overbearing parents. He does not express emotions and is rather blunt. After Ben delivers Merry's boy, he proposes a marriage of convenience which Merry accepts. They are working through the arrangements agreed to when Ben's parents suddenly appear with Merry's ex-boyfriend. How will it turn out with her ex-boyfriend wanting the opportunity to get to know his son and Ben afraid he will lose both Merry and her son which is all he has every wanted? Good romance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: First to Kill; Author: Visit Amazon's Andrew Peterson Page; Review: Story grabs you initially in the first 2 chapters, though the story has some violence and foul language. Starts off an undercover agent's identity is compromised so he is tortured and now there is missing Semtex.

Now the brothers want revenge on Nathan plus revenge on the government. There are now two plots: finding the missing agent and how does the Semtex involve the government? You will hate and love Nathan. Is there really a need to deal with certain criminals outside the justice system? He does not enjoy it though. Nathan is dependable. He puts others first and does not let what happens to himself from protecting and saving others. Harvey and Nathan trust each other implicitly and would do anything for each other. You will not want to put this book down!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Exactly how far Nathan goes when he confronts Montez will show if the "other side or dark side" of him truly is Nathan or has he been able to move some past that torture. Good reading throughout the book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

You'll have to read the romance to see how it ends. Enjoyed the book and plan on reading the next book in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: One Wish (Thunder Point); Author: Visit Amazon's Robyn Carr Page; Review: This book, in this series, is mainly about Grace and Troy. Grace bought the florist shop from Iris and has a big secret about her past. She wants a simple life so she can move forward with things she wants in life. Troy is a high school teacher who was just rejected by Iris since she married the guy she always loved. He finally notices Grace on Halloween and wanting company on New Year's Eve, he stops to see Grace. Both characters are down-to-earth, very likeable, and end up being very open to each other. Another relationship in this book is Al and Ray Anne. It warms you to the core where they have been, how they got to where they are now, and how each of them stepped up to help those in need. The doctor's and Peyton's relationship have become serious that they are planning on getting married. Troy's and Grace's friendship is fun loving which develops into an attraction. Deeper feelings evolve then Grace's past comes into the picture. Things are more complicated which makes for more than one challenge in their relationship. Small towns have a closeness where the residents do not hesitate to help one another. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Enjoyed it as much as The Homecoming. Would recommend this book and series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shady Cross; Author: Visit Amazon's James Hankins Page; Review: Stokes had been questioned a couple of times, by the police, about different break-ins. Would his life change now that he found this money and heard the little girl's voice on the cell phone? His options: 1. Pay off the loan shark Nickerson, 2. Disappear from Shady Cross, or 3. Pay the ransom for the release of Amanda being held captive. The decision is made which involves kidnapping, murder, lies, breaking-and-entering, and stealing. Stokes is not a good guy so why does the reader feel for him when he tries to do a good deed? Story takes place within one day and has profanity. The book was good but I thought James Hankins' other book Brothers and Bones was more intriguing.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Spike (A Marty Singer Mystery); Author: Visit Amazon's Matthew Iden Page; Review: Marty Singer had to retire as a DC policeman then he witnesses Wendy pushed in front of a DC Metro train. Wendy's family asked Marty if he would pursue Wendy's case to find her killer. Amanda, who is like a daughter to Marty from when he was in the police force, works in a women's shelter. The women's shelter where Amanda works has an intruder. Amanda tries to catch the guy and ends up with a broken arm. Marty steps in trying to protect those in the shelter, as well as find out who hurt Amanda. The story moves along at a steady pace as Marty works on the two cases. His focus is the murder case but the second case is personal. There was not much suspense as to whom the intruder was or why he wanted into the women's shelter. After an action was taken to stop the intruder, I was left wondering if that is all it will take to stop the intruder. As for the murder case, you have more suspenseful twists as to why more than one murder took place and who is doing the murders. Not understanding real estate development and how land is procured eliminating a neighborhood and "spike" for say the development of a mall, I personally found some parts confusing. I enjoyed the book but the story itself did not capture me leaving me hanging but was more reading how Marty pursued getting the required information to solve the cases. The ending did leave a question which could lead into the author's next book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Vanished (Callahan & McLane); Author: Visit Amazon's Kendra Elliot Page; Review: Detective Mason Callahan, of the Oregon Police's Major Crimes Unit, is involved in two situations directly connected to him. His confidential informant Josie is found brutally murdered and the 11 year old daughter of his ex-wifes new husband is abducted. Dealing with both situations is stressful since he is being attached professionally and personally. FBI Special Agent Ava McLane is comforting to him for some reason. Through the book pieces of information are revealed putting the puzzle pieces together. Will Henley be found dead or alive? Who wants to crush Masons life and why? This book can be read as a standalone. I liked the book because it grabbed me from the beginning and the story flowed from chapter-to-chapter. It kept my interest throughout mainly with the twists and turns of the suspense. A nice romance developed towards the end of the book, between Mason and Ava, who appear to be well suited for each other and understand each other. I would recommend this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bridged (Callahan & McLane); Author: Visit Amazon's Kendra Elliot Page; Review: Stand-alone book to read. An incident from the past haunts one person into killing now because of their guilt. Known as the bridge killer but why do bridges play an important part of the killings? FBI Agent Ava McLean and Detective Mason Callahan are consumed into investigating the murders in the City Of Portland. What is the connection between these killings? There is strength, trust, and respect between Ava and Mason. Though each has a demanding job, they have a balance between work and their life at home. No one is on an ego trip due to their job. However, Ava has a twin sister Jayne who is her downfall. Mason is Avas voice of love and reason but Ava just cannot give up on her sister. How is Jayne involved with the killings, if at all? The story develops piece-by-piece and character-by-character pulling you into reading more of the book. What is their reason behind the murders? Twists toward the end of the book cause a rise in anxiety pushing for the urgency to solve the murders.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Love of Vengeance (Wanted Men); Author: Visit Amazon's Nancy Haviland Page; Review: I was confused at the beginning due to the number of characters. Once I got past that, I settled into the story which I did not want to put down. Dynamic story with twists throughout. The mafia story was primary with the romance being secondary. I was not sure how the story would end. Gabriel Moretti is summoned by his mentor, Russian mafia boss Vasily Tarasov, and asked to watch over Eva Jacobs while he is out of the country. He is shocked to learn Eva is his daughter that no one knew about. Eva has no idea of Gabriels background when she initially meets him nor does she know where her father is and that Gabriel knows her father. Gabriel instantly falls for Eva which crosses a line but he cannot seem to stay away. Stefano is Gabriel's brother who is out to make him suffer. Gabriel is dangerous and lethal to his enemies, but protective and tender with Eva. Looking to see revenge, Eva is in danger and Gabriel has to do whatever he can to keep her safe from Stefano. Gabriel and Eva have insane chemistry and connect by opening up about their difficult past. The men, in this book, openly admit to being lethal when provoked, but never use their aggression against their women or children. I had similar reactions, as Eva, to some of the scenarios. Eva was quick to accept and her anger was quick to leave. Not too sure I would have been quick to accept or my anger would be quick to leave. This book is worth reading if you are into this type of story thriller.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Salvation of Vengeance (Wanted Men); Author: Visit Amazon's Nancy Haviland Page; Review: Nika Paynne was imprisoned in her horrific marriage trying to protect her brother Caleb. When attending her best friend Evas wedding to Gabriel Moretti, Vincente Romani discovers her deep secret. Vincente has a desire for Nika and vice versa but both have mental pain plus there are complications to having a relationship. She feels damaged and emotionally destroyed. Though Vincente has a need to protect her, he is involved with the mafia so dangerous and deadly. Vincente seems to be her only hope for safety but can he truly keep her safe? I loved how the family all protected her. While her husband Kevin is on the run and stilling pursuing to find Nika, he morphs into a serial killer. Vincente and Nika still feel they are not good enough for each other. So how does Kevin finally plan to get her back? Will she make the sacrifice to return to her husband to save her brother? Can they resist that magnetic sexual attraction towards each other? The abuse left me aching for all that Nika suffered. Normally I would not be interested in a mafia story or reading about domestic violence but this is an amazing book. There are many storylines and a large cast of family members united into one. I am against violence but this family was easy to connect to. It made me think how far they had to go, in their world, to protect ones they loved who had been brutally beaten. In the end, you are rooting for them to win to overcome the misery of their past. You will be engaged from beginning to end.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: True Love (Nantucket Brides Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's Jude Deveraux Page; Review: Why would an old friend of Alixs mother, Aunt Addy, put it in her will that she would like Alix to spend a year at the Kingsley House, on Nantucket, trying to find out what happened to Valentina, a relative that vanished. What Alix does not realize is her parents have spent time on Nantucket without her knowledge, she was there before, and who she met before. Living in Kingsley House is a world-famous architect Jared Montgomery Kingsley who Alix idolizes since she is a budding architect. Aunt Addy was his great aunt. Jared is like two different people: the serious high-society architect, while in New York, that everyone wants to know and the normal down-to-earth guy, on Nantucket, concerned about the Kingsley family which includes his grandfather as a ghost, a legacy, and a mystery. Alix is attracted to the Nantucket Jared who knows everyone on the island and goes out of his way to help people. Another mystery is Jareds grandfather, Caleb Kingsley, who is a ghost living in this same house. Only the boy descendants of Caleb can see him and maybe Alix can as well. Who is Valentina and why is she so important in this story? How do Alix and Jared come into play? I was not sure about the story, in the beginning, involving the supernatural and bouncing back in time back to the present. After getting past the beginning, I did get into the story. The story was hard to follow with the various family members, lies/secrets, and many storylines. Particularly towards the end I had to reread how the storylines were unveiled.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Beautifully Forgotten (Beautifully Damaged); Author: Visit Amazon's L.A. Fiore Page; Review: Lucien and Darcy are the main couple having found true love in each other in an orphanage but then circumstances caused them to lead separate lives. They have a second chance at their love, after reconnecting, because of their undeniable chemistry. Will insecurities, people in power, and secrets be stronger than true love after reconnecting? Ember and Trace are the second couple. Their love is amazingly strong but they also struggle. Trace and Lucien go back in time but Ember and Darcy meet. As you read the book, you will seek answers to your questions and sense there is a bigger plot in the story. Initially I would have rated it 4 stars because the chapters jump around in time, there are so many characters, and a couple of times I was confused so reread a couple pages. In the end I rated it 5 stars. There are actually 2 love stories, with the main couple struggling to find each other again by overcoming all odds of interference and the second couple idolize each other. I got wrapped up in true love and had empathy for the hardships the main couple endured which brought tears to my eyes. There were twists throughout that made me not want to put the book down.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

One day their relationship changes over a funny incident and Logan is all Saffron ever wanted. Logan has two identities. Can Saffron handle Logans New York identify and overcome the baggage that come with it? The drama Logans life brings could destroy their true love. My initial reaction was sex was introduced into their relationship too fast. Loved Saffrons personality and how her friends supported her. Any female would be envious to have a sexy, good-looking, wealthy man fall that much in love with her plus have the support of his family. The end is heartbreaking but this is a must read book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Dare (The Bet Series Book 3) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Van Dyken Page; Review: This book is about Beth, who wants a fairytale with Prince Charming, and Jace, a senator focused on his career and making his parents proud. Beth, a chemist, lacks self-confidence because she looks down upon herself having been a nerd but she does remember prom night. Jaces heart was broken so he has no interest in a relationship but he vaguely something about that prom and an accident. Both live within a safety net of their jobs but watch out because Grandma is back at match-making. How does Grandma bring them together for a chance to get to know each other? She uses such tactics as manipulation, a curse, therapy, Viagra, the media, etc. The dare is between Beth and Jace but what is it? Why are Travis, Kacey, Jake, and Char there with them on a Hawaiian island? I enjoyed the book but liked The Wager better. Each chapter in this book starts off by Grandma telling her story to a FBI agent. Then you jump into a chapter about Beth then a chapter about Jace. The entire story is unbelievable what Grandma can pull off though you will still laugh. The reason I liked The Wager better is because the story flowed from chapter beginning to end and chapter-to-chapter. Just a difference in writing though. I laughed more and cried more in The Wager also.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Always Us (The Jade Series) (Volume 8); Author: Visit Amazon's Allie Everhart Page; Review: Though I only read the next to last and last book in the series, I think this is a series where you should read every book. Garret and Jade are perfect for each other in their strength, love, and sacrifice for each other, as young adults, to a happy ever after. What amazed me was how mature they were and dedicated to make things work between them. The book has twists about the grandfathers death, Katherine and Pearces relationship, Keifers decision about the organization, and Garret and Jade thought they were free of the organization then something else popped up. Jade has grown with Garrets support to become more confident. I was happy for Harper and Sean and Sara and Alex too. Finally Garret and Jade can enjoy life together realizing what is truly important in life and its not money and power.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Ari knew immediately Luke was the one, though it took him a while to sense that. They discover a treasure on the property, however, Luke did not understand some of the things Ari told him. Luke did agree to ensure everything was in order before he proceeded on the property. At that point, strange things began to happen so they began working together for the truth. Someone else is very interested in this property and will stop at nothing to get what they want. Despite all this plus Ari fighting him all the way, Luke cannot ignore the sparks of passion. He lived years as a mercenary warrior which impacted his life and love. When he really listened to her, things started making sense. Two people find love but it more about the connections surrounding them and what they feel in their gut. They mesh well together but the story also has suspense. I was not sure how much I liked it because of the spiritual aspect but was won over by the ending. This can be read as a stand-alone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Last Child; Author: Visit Amazon's John Hart Page; Review: The main character is Johnny Merrimon, a 13 year old that lost his twin sister Alyssa.

One day after ditching school, Johnny and Jack are hanging when they witness a murder. Now things start to get interesting. Johnnys mom is manipulated by a powerful, rich, abusive man that keeps her supplied with drugs and alcohol since she is I meltdown mode. Because Johnny is convinced one of the local child predators is involved with the disappearance of his sister, he is out spying on them, covering the countys terrain, and acting on any leads. He reaches into ancient mysticism for strength and perseverance. However, he not alone because Detective Hunt has the same motive especially when a classmate of Johnnys is abducted. Detective Hunt has a soft spot for Johnny and tries to keep him safe knowing what he is up to. Chapter-to-chapter you jump from one character to another character, with my preference being a story that flows from chapter-to-chapter rather than jump around. This story has dark disturbing events, with complex characters in terrifying situations. I was kept guessing, though, who committed all the murders until the end. You will see how much a parent loves a child, what friendship means, and how things happen for a reason.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: A View to a Thrill (Masters and Mercenaries); Author: Visit Amazon's Lexi Blake Page; Review: Simon Weston was of royal, left alone due to his brothers health, but felt unwanted. MI6 damaged him then Ian Taggart brought him into the Sanctum of dominance and submission. Chelsea Dennis was a Russian mob pawn where her own father was violent with her. She did not trust any man, therefore, became a Broker to expose deep secrets and bring companies down. They meet and suddenly Simon wants to be her Master, to protect her, and it has become his most important mission. Can she afford to take the risk? Chelsea is being threatened by the Collective, who want to use her skills as the Broker. She turns to Simon but solving the mystery behind The Collective is their only chance to survive. Ultimately she wants what her sister Charlotte found in Ian but when Simon starts to take down the walls around her she runs. The twists throughout the book kept me guessing why they were after Chelsea and who headed The Collective until the end. I am not into dominance and submission which was why I did not think it was the best suspense/romance I have read. Hot explicit sex scenes were also included in the dominance and submission. The entire book was about family; blood and the team and what is what living and dying for. My plan was to read the next book in the series which is good since the ending leaves you hang on what happens to the characters. Series are great if you can read one book as a stand-alone but the series should be so intriguing that that you want to read the next book rather than being forced into reading the next book or the entire series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

It all comes down to their connection and trust. Dominance and submission is not my thing but it makes for good reading and gets you thinking. Hot explicit sex scenes were also included in the dominance and submission parts. Twists adventure and love throughout the book will keep you reading it to the end. The story gives you insight as to what makes a family. Can Phoebe and Jesse overcome their adopted families interfering and ghosts of the past to get past the threat of someone wanting to kill Jesse? Each book leaves you asking questions about what will happen to these complex characters so you appreciate the book more if you read the series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Zach tells Jenna about himself and his suspicions but Jenna is convinced Brad is behind all this. The deadliness of lies and helplessness of someone can force a person to be acquainted with crime when given no other choice. The book involves confidential government and military aspects. Having no other choice, Zach decides he must go home to his estranged family. His five brothers know nothing about his double life, though they provide support when he comes clean to his family. Will Jenna and Zach have a chance at love and actually be a family with Sam? This book is about Zach, the 3rd oldest of 6 boys in the Montgomery family. I would bet each book in the series is about one of the boys but this book can be read as a stand-alone. Living a lie can prove lonesome but the betrayal and unknown killers will keep you turning the pages. The book had complex characters, suspense with many twists, and romance without the heavy sex scenes.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Game of Fear (A Montgomery Justice Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Robin Perini Page; Review: This book is about Gabe Montgomery, one of six Montgomery brothers, and Deb Lansing, who is a helicopter pilot for Search and Rescue. Gabes appearance is he owns Sammys bar but is truly doing undercover work. Debs sister Ashley is another teen that has gone missing but why? It started 8 years ago when Gabes father attempted to help two teenage girls but suddenly one of the girls was gunned down. Gabe is a former SWAT member so Deb turns to him. He wants to help her but he has his own investigation going on. Between the two separate dangerous situations, Gabe and Deb realize they are attracted to each other and have been over the past year. There is never a dull moment being attacked from every side. How ingenious but scary to put the kind of real power of breaking into security systems, financial institutes, NSA database, etc. into the hands of computer genius teens playing the video game Point of Entry. When kidnapped, Ashley was extremely brave for a 16 year old, as were her gaming friends Justin, Dave, and Mylo. Floyd and Niko even wanted to do the right thing in bringing down crime lord Jeff Gasmerati, the Russian, and the warden to save innocent kids. Gabe and Deb turn to his family for support and assistance. Great book, fast paced, and full of suspense with some romance, without the heavy sex scenes. There are murders, torture, manipulation of people, and cyber-crime. Though the story was similar to Behind the Lies, it still has you wanting to turn the pages and not put the book down. This can be read as a stand-alone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pretty Instinct; Author: Visit Amazon's S.E. Hall Page; Review: Lizzie Carmichael and her loveable brother, Conner, have missed out on having a loving family growing up. Their mother is deceased, Lizzie hates her father, and Lizzie has guardianship over handicapped Conner. They travel as a band on a tour bus, with Lizzies dear friends that are brothers, Jarrett and Rhett, along with her Uncle Bruce as the driver. She lives for this life and the band. Cannon Blackwell comes into the story as a hot musician left alongside the highway with nothing but his duffel bag and guitar. The band is in need of a musician so Lizzie saunters over inviting Cannon to be part of the band, as long as he passes a security check and drug test. He is up for an adventure so agrees. This is one outspoken, sexy, fun, flirty guy that can be pushy when required. Could Cannon be real enough to help Lizzie let go of her past and move forward with her future and happiness? Lizzie is a feisty, hilarious, controlling lead of the band and over protective Mama Bear to the guys. She becomes Cannons siren drawing him in and his effect on Lizzie is calming. They start out as friends quickly moving a bit too fast to the next stage when you consider the timeline of the story. She is still guarded but love and true friendship prevails. The story is about acceptance, forgiveness, and letting go. By the end of the book, she does a total 360 thanks to Cannon. When I started reading the book, I was not sure I was going to like it. The story seemed slow and I was not sure about a book of a traveling band. However, S.E. Hall draws you into caring about the characters. You will have such questions as to why does Lizzie have guardianship over Conner, why does Lizzie hate her father but Connor doesnt, there are those laughs, drama throughout, and you will cry in this stand-alone novel. I found some places hard to follow I believe because of some word choices. One thing is for sure communication is a priority in any relationship so you don't misjudge the circumstances or the people. Is there truly a guy out there like that, when you fall in love, to find happy ever after?; Rating: 4.0/5.0

This stand-alone book was fast paced and kept your interest throughout. There were a few places where I had to go back a page or so to ensure I understood where the story was taking place or who the character was. With the authors background, he is able to weave that into an intriguing story. Good ending but there is an opening for a follow-on book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

He was a former profiler for the FBI so slowly uncovers information about this serial killer. She is professional and without fear. While on the run, she meets a young boy and his attractive father. The FBI agent cannot connect to a family and the killer cannot tolerate children being hurt. What happens with Roarke comes face-to-face with the female killer? I really liked the book though, at times, I felt there were unnecessary details and some darkness. One chapter is the present tense and the next chapter is the past tense. The young female killer is a complex character so you ask yourself why is she doing these killings, can you empathize with her from what she went through at age 5, and what do you want to see happen to her? The ending takes a different twist and leaves you hanging so you want to read the next book in the series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

There are bizarre happenings at Slaughter Creek Psychiatric Hospital. Though Six has issues, one can understand why he has those issues. The number of killings increases and the kills are becoming more personal. Rate realized Liz may be his next victim. You could read this as a stand-alone book. Maybe because I had not read the first books in the series, I was confused at some points with all the characters. Dark suspense kept you wanting to read the book to the end due to all the twists. At the end of the book, you finally find out who the killer is. The negative aspects were the details of the dissecting and how could a trained agent get herself into trouble not once but twice! It is a good thriller to read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Together Amelia and John try to determine if Amelia truly has a child out there missing somewhere and, in the interim, find other missing children. Amelia is frail but brave and hopeful in working with John both on their quest and also because she is drawn to him. Good read though I asked myself if someone that damaged can truly live a normal life. The story involves child abuse and terrorist bombings done by children. It keeps you intrigued throughout the book with how the characters come into play, will Amelia actually find a child she gave birth to, and what happens between Amelia and John. Can she make a full recovery and can John make a full recovery?; Rating: 4.0/5.0

The story will bring out various emotions causing you to cry at times. Things do come full circle and things happen for a reason. You will enjoy the book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Road to Justice (The Ugly Tree) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Tamara Lyon Page; Review: Cane Kallevik and Justice Price fell in love six years ago when she was 15. After she spent a summer in Colorado and had a summer fling with bad boy Nikeo, who does not believe in marriage, Justice still loves Cane but he is not sure he is ready to take the plunge into marriage. Therefore, he tells Cane he needs time. She is desperate to mend her relationship with Justice and will do about anything. Her life is crazy, she is always there to help others in need, outspoken, and patience is not in her dictionary. Add to the crazy mix, Cane works at Schaeffer Dairy where Justice, his relatives, and Susan, who has the hots for Justice, all work. Susan is Miss Betty Crocker with her bake goods and sweetness and Nikeo is determined to have what he wants. How will this all play out when tragedy strikes and both Justice and Nikeo show up? I enjoyed the romance, Canes personality which was totally opposite of Justice, and how Justice was always there for Cane. It was light reading without the sex scenes normally in a romance. This is not a tear jerker but full more of laughs. Though I thoroughly enjoyed it, I may have given it a higher rating had I read the other books in the series or it been one of those books that I dream about when I have a restless night.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Post Traumatic Brazilian Wax Syndrome; Author: Visit Amazon's Tamara Lyon Page; Review: As an interior designer, Bristow Sparks just landed her dream job for Cherry Wyland. Cherry is a crazy reality star, always changing her mind, and expects round the clock attention. Adding fuel to the fire, Cherry is dating Bristows ex-boyfriend Chad. Bristow basically has no personal life since her father was murdered 3 years ago and her ex-boyfriend exploited it in the media. She is OCD, a pessimistic, scared to try new things, and is addicted to exercise to lessen stress. While at the gym, she falls for bike helmet. Later she learns Dr. Jack Hoffmann is his name but disasters seem to strike on their first date and every other time he is around. Therefore, Bristow pretends they will never be more than friends due to her lack of confidence, strange family, and all the disasters. Going outside her box, Bristow gets a make-over including a Brazilian Wax for her 29 birthday. The excruciating pain makes her realize she has been in post-traumatic state since her father died. Can she turn it around to go after what she wants and does Jack want to be more than friends? The story had so many funny moments especially with her great grandmother Gig, cousin Margarita, and business partner Lola. However, I was frustrated with all the negative things in the book, all the disasters, and how long it took Bristow to figure out what the relationship was between her and Jack. For those reasons, it was enjoyable but not one of my most memorable.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Will Rival be able to win Bradley back using Scarletts steps of seduction or will she decide to stay with Richie?

It was neither my most favorite romance nor my most favorite suspense story. At the beginning, I thought it was just a romance and hard to get into. Like most things I get into, I could not quit so I continued to read the book with the thought of how anyone could develop a plan like that and hurt so many people. There is much pain throughout and the ending is sad while leaving you hanging to read the next book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Room For You (Cranberry Inn) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Beth Ehemann Page; Review: Kacie Jensen got pregnant at 18 and married her first love Zach. Suddenly Zack left her and the twin girls Lucy and Piper, when they were 1 year old. No explanation just a brief Im out of here written on the back of a receipt. Determined to make her twins her priority, she moves back home with her mother, focuses on becoming a nurse, and providing the best possible family life she can for the three of them. On stormy rainy night, pro hockey star Brody Murphy shows up at the inn. Brody is immediately drawn to Kacie and Brody ignites feeling in Kacie she has long forgotten. Their lives are different so Kacie feels she cannot live with his traveling, a long distance relationship, and world of fame. Can she deny the feelings she has though to make the right decision? She is protective, runs from things that scare her, and has closed her heart to love since her dad and ex-husband walked out. Brody lives for the moment, has family values especially with his mom, and is open/honest with Kacie with hopes of breaking down her walls of fear. The characters are young but mature and I loved Kacies interaction with the twins and how the three of them interacted. You will be touched by the sentimental things affectionate Brody does and appreciate what a single mother goes through. The ending leaves you hanging so you will want to read the follow-on book, of which this is the first of three in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Room For More; Author: Visit Amazon's Beth Ehemann Page; Review: Kacie Jensen fell hopelessly in love with pro hockey player Brody Murphy and vice versa.

Zach is the father of her twin girls and it has been 5 years since Zach abandoned them. Brodys schedule turns their relationship into a long-distance relationship. Kacie wants to share this new development with Brody but does not want him to lose focus on the game since this year is a contract signing year. How long can she keep her exs reappearance a secret and will this drive her greatest love away from her? Brody also has the stress of family drama that has him questioning marriage. You learn why Zach made the decision that changed their lives and I, for one, even started to like him. Still Brody puts his loved ones first. The story made me laugh, filled me with desire to have a romantic like Brody, feel the love between them, and I cried multiple times throughout the book. I loved the way Kacies twins, Brody calls them Twinkies, are playful, full of love, and show unconditional love towards everyone, even Brody. Can Kacie and Brody survive the struggles and keep their relationship strong and together?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Room for Just a Little Bit More; Author: Visit Amazon's Beth Ehemann Page; Review: Kacie Jensen is overwhelmed to have found the love of her life, pro hockey player Brody Murphy, who just asked her to marry him.

Love how he is just as much in love with Kacies Twinkies (her twins). Kacie has grown in learning how to love, her confidence, and even goes outside her comfortable zone. Amazing wedding then they settle into their happy family life. Great story that will grab you emotionally with the Brody surprises. You will laugh, swoon, and cry throughout. Wonderful way to end the three book series! I have to ask if Brodys lifelong friend, Andy who is also his agent, ever finds happiness now being a single dad who separated from hateful Blaire. Then there is Brodys close teammate Viper. He vows never to marry and keep hopping from girl to girl. You will enjoy this series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Beth, Zane, and the members of the Seal Team 7 join forces to prevent the hijacking and save the lives of those on board. Throughout the danger, Beth and Zane there is a pulling connection between them. Do you believe there can be a connection between two people? This book is more suspense than romance but there is one sex scene. The story has violence and brutality including a gang rape which is not described in detail. I thought the plot was good but the ending leaves things not resolved. That said there is a follow-on book in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Forged in Ash (A Red-Hot SEALs Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Trish McCallan Page; Review: Book 2 of the series is mainly about Kait Winchester and Navy SEAL Marcus Cosky Simcosky. She has a special healing gift, from her Arapaho ancestors, which she is more than willing to try on Coskys damaged knee. He is determined to ignore their chemistry, though he has fantasized about her for five years, and because she is the sister of his teammate. Finally he seeks her help and, with a leap of faith, she is ready to try and heal him, as well as coax him into her bed. Coskys team is under investigation, a crazy female stalker is on his trail, and the last incident might force his retirement. The stalker then targets Kait so Cosky will do whatever is required to keep her safe. It appears certain scientists are targeted but why and who is behind this? They cannot trust anyone because they do not know who has been compromised. It is up to them to expose this conspiracy for saving lives not their careers. Now the battle is unbelievable with new threats, new warriors, and women who stand by the team. The connection between Kait and Cosky is more than love and involves healing. This cliffhanger leaves you with many unanswered questions. Unfortunately, I cannot find the next book in the series being released. A very good suspense with some romantic chemistry, a couple sex scenes, and foul language with the military SEALs. I thoroughly enjoyed the book even though I cannot accept the healing just by touch and the times a SEAL teammate would put his woman above his team.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Worth The Trouble: (Texas Trouble, #9); Author: Visit Amazon's Becky McGraw Page; Review: Terri Cassidy has caused so much trouble for the man she loves and her boss at the dude ranch, Joel Rhodes, she decides to stay on at the ranch to help Joels mother run the ranch.

Add to that, the killer kidnaps Jenny, the baby, Joels mother, and Terri. Will Terri and Joel overcome all this to realize their love for each other and be able to settle down to a happy-ever-after? I love the strong female characters and hard-living hard-loving Texan men. You get the sense of city life vs country life. This book is definitely worth the read and is more romance and suspense than the prior book Here Comes Trouble #8.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kidnapped Cowboy; Author: Visit Amazon's Lindsey Brookes Page; Review: Caitlin Myers runs a retreat for troubled teens, in Lone Tree, Montana, and it is about to be closed. She wants to speak to the retreat owner but he seems to be avoiding her at all costs.

In the midst of helping troubled teens, both Caitlins and Daltons lives are changed. Caitlin learns to trust and Dalton wants to stay in Lone Tree to mend things with his brother. For the education Caitlin had, I must admit she did seem immature for her age and in running the retreat. This story is full of laughter, love, and a growing maturing relationship. I would love to have that sexy amusing cowboy be smitten with me! Spunky Caitlin captured my heart and even the banter back and forth between Caitlin and Dalton had me laughing. Without all the sex scenes in many romances, this is a good fun book to read that does spark the romance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Captive Cowboy (Captured Hearts Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Lindsey Brookes Page; Review: Brandon Barnes is all work and no play who has removed himself from the public.

Megans brother Riley is protective of her and will kick anyones butt that hurts her. Others get in the way of their happiness so will Brandon believe in true love or what others day? The series can be read in stand-alone. The story, along with Kidnapped Cowboy, shows how to live and get the most out of it. You will get laughs with the bantering and protectiveness. This cute romance has its hot steaming scenes but not detailed sex scenes. Issues are addressed head on where, with a change, lifes direction can be unexpected results. Enjoy!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cold Lake (David Wolf) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Jeff Carson Page; Review: Sluice County in Cold Lake, Colorado, is being merged with Byron County and David Wolf, Slice County Sheriff, and MacLean, of Byron County, are running for the sheriffs job.

Amidst the forthcoming political changes and realizing there is a dangerous serial killer among them, there is someone who will stop at nothing to remain hidden. This book is full of mystery, graphic descriptions of the deaths, and action which will keep you intrigued throughout the book. It has many twists that will keep you guessing who is actually doing the murders. Though this can be a stand-alone read, there still could be a follow-on book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Smoked Out (David Wolf) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Jeff Carson Page; Review: Ex-sheriff David Wolf is battered as a result of injuries sustained at the end of the previous book Cold Lake. Out for revenge on who killed his ex-wife that he still loved and to mend his relationship with his son Jack, he has learned someone is setting him up to take the rap for the killing. FBI surveillance surrounds his ranch so he must move and fast. He wants justice! FBI Special Agent Kristen Luke risks her career to help Wolf escape the FBI, in the quest for the truth.

Across the Colorado mountains and ultimately back to Rocky Points, along with action and deadly shootouts, Wolf gets his answer to the one question driving him. David Wolf is likeable and everyone seems to be on his side since he watches his deputies/friends backs. The book has many twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat, with morbid details of the murders. I did wonder how someone so injured could truly move forward like that for justice. Great story but confusing at times, for me, with so many characters involving the sheriffs department, FBI, and Ghost Cartel. This book could be read as a stand-alone and is worth the read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Neanderthal Seeks Human: A Smart Romance (Knitting in the City) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Penny Reid Page; Review: Janie Morris had the worst day of her life after breaking up with her boyfriend for cheating on her, moving out of the apartment they shared, and losing her job all in the same day. Quinn Sullivan, who she refers to as Sir McHotpants, witnesses her being fired and even escorts her out of the building. When nervous and non-confident, which she was every time around Quinn, she could not carry on a normal conversation without volunteering too much trivial information about a wide variety of subjects. As a math whiz, being smart, and knowing weird trivia about various subjects, Janie has a great deal to offer. However, she is nave about men and relationships. Quinn is sexy, well mannered, patient, and looking for more in a woman than sex. Neither is perfect but seems to want to work through realistic issues. Where will they end up? The title did not excite me for a romance and how exciting can knitting be, as well as how does that fit in with a romance? I did not mind the lack of detailed sex scenes and I found Janie to be more of a negative person than a positive person. Be prepared for unfamiliar vocabulary and technical vocabulary during the trivia-spouting off incidents. The story was about having patience, communicating, and developing a relationship with will developed characters. I bypassed this book a couple times before deciding to give it a try and, in the end, I did enjoy this different kind of romance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Loving the Chase (Heart of the Storm); Author: Visit Amazon's Sharla Lovelace Page; Review: Zach Chase and his family crave chasing storms to protect others from harm. Wanting publicity for his familys storm-chasing love, he cannot resist the urge when a TV network contacts him about profiling their work.

Devastated she walked away, from Zach, living the trauma from that tornado and knowing she would always be second to his dangerous love. Maddi knew how difficult it would be working so closely with Zach but this reality show could mean everything to her career. She would be featuring his family, her family, and she would be in charge. Her fear of storms is real but she has a job to do. Zach draws out her feelings that her love never died but she had buried it. Zach is sexy, strong, and passionate with love for his family, storm chasing, but also Maddi. He lost Maddi once but will he wake up before her loses her again? As the story unfolds, you learn what happened 7 years ago and Zach comes to realize exactly what he did to Maddi that day. Their pain, love, chemistry, and fear can be seen by others and your heart will feel for both of them. I loved the entire family but especially the passionate rain scene. The story has excitement, action, no sexual details, and so many emotions you will cry. Terrific read!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tragedy, Lust & Destiny; Author: Visit Amazon's Navi' Robins Page; Review: Dr. Daniel Bennett had it all going for himself but inside he was haunted by a dark deep secret. As a doctor in a Chicago hospitals ICU, he worked to save lives without any emotion, involvement, or feeling. The cause of his numbness was when he encountered Africas most notorious and ruthless warlord, four years ago, who massacred and brutally murdered people. One night his best friend, Timothy, discovered what Daniels secret was and sought help. The United Nations top crisis counselor, Ayana Burundi, was brought in to try and help Daniel, with the ultimate goal of the United Nation being for Daniel to testify against that warlord Kronte The Terror Kroma. These two initially butted heads but Ayana was driven to have Kronte answer for his crimes against her people and the doctor. They struggle with wills and emotions while colliding with Kronte and his followers to keep them silent so Kronte can remain free. When the case was falling apart, Timothy goes on national TV to tell about Daniels secret and how Ayana has helped him. Ayanas co-worker/friend, Megan, even steps in to help her rescue Daniel. You hear about these events on the news but this story will make you empathize with those suffering pain from attacks on innocent people no matter where you live. I had trouble getting into the book, at the beginning, due to the violence and strong language used. However, having the facts outlined, you have a better understanding of how Daniel and Ayana felt, where they were coming from, and why they wanted to move forward. It will make you feel emotions you have not felt before so be ready! The ending surprised me though. This is the first time I read a book by this author but it was a good read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

If you object to mature subject matter, sexual situations, and graphic language, this book is not for you.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wolfe Trap (Scott Wolfe) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's S.L. Shelton Page; Review: Scott Wolfe is on his way to The Farm, a CIA training facility, when he is violently abducted.

Storc Carson, Scotts tech support, uncovers a massive treason. All is being done to protect Scott and Mark but suddenly Scott realizes John Temple set him up as the bait for the trap. Who can he actually trust? The author grabs your attention, at the beginning, and engages you throughout the book. Many twists and bombshells keep you moving forward through the story. This book has plenty of action and well developed characters, with no sex scenes. At the end, you will be left with many unanswered questions begging you to read the follow-on book. Hence, the 4 star rating but very good read!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Harbinger (Scott Wolfe) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's S.L. Shelton Page; Review: This book picks up in the series where Scott Wolfe, Monkey Wrench, dives even deeper into the conspiracy by going out on his own underground. He hooks up again with Kathrin, Gretel, from an earlier book, in Antwerp. Wanting this reunion, Scott still has reservations about how his feelings will impact his mission, what to confess to her, can he trust her, and her background. Twice Scott has faced this giant of a man and barely escaped his death but he knows he will have to confront him face-to-face eventually. This giant, Harbinger, is a serious bad guy to be wary of under contract by Braun. Kathrins safe house is compromised so Scott and Kathrin are on the run from Harbinger and his men. They work well together gathering INTEL but the time comes when Scott feels he should separate from Kathrin. Will she accept that or go against what Scott tells her? Some unbelievable things such a project creating enhanced people and how Scott could withstand the torture then do what he did in his escape are the reasons for 4 stars. That said, it is still a great book where people live, people die, some have luck, but it is graphic. Loads of action and tension but not a stand-alone book because there are still questions unanswered for the next book. Though I like series, my preference is a series where you could potentially read a book as a stand-alone rather than having to wait for the next book in a series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Soft Place to Fall; Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara Bretton Page; Review: Sam Butler arrives in Shelter Rock Cove, Maine, only to have his dog trash Annie Galloways truck then he has to save her when a fire starts in her bathroom. Two years ago, Annies husband died but she is still connected to the town she has always lived in and grateful for her mother-in-law that took her in and continues to love her like a daughter. Meeting Sam sparks emotions long since dead in her. Annie has her secret about her husband Kevin and Sam has his secret about his past. The two instantly connect hoping for happiness as well as a fresh new start with love. Reality sets in and threatens to destroy it all. Will each of their responsibilities be their priority in the end? Complex characters but slowly you get to know them and understand their soul feelings. This is a romance so there are sex scenes but not the detailed graphic ones like in some books. Though I did enjoy the book, I continue to be disappointed in books with proofing/writing errors.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Girls of Summer; Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara Bretton Page; Review: Dr. Ellen OBrien Markowitz felt like Shelter Rock Cove, Maine was home and loved working with Dr. Hall Talbot, in his OB-GYN practice. She had issues with her past when she learned, at age 14, Dr. Cy Markowitzs was not her real father but Billy OBrien, the charming Irish tenor, was. Hall was the good Galloway family friend that loved Annie but she was in love with someone else. Unannounced Ellens hippie, half-sister, failed musician, Deirdre OBrien, shows up, with her 115# dog and broken-down car. Now the summer begins to get interesting. After a night of passion, could Ellen and Hall remain good friends and co-workers or was that a fatal mistake? This was a small town so everyone would know what happened after her car was parked in Halls driveway for the night. Ellen finally discovers love and family are both worth fighting for. Good enjoyable read but I liked the first one better because the story was mainly about the two characters. At times, I thought this story was more about the harpist Deidre and her being drawn to Scott the Mechanic than about Ellen and Hall. Maybe the book title suggested this story was basically about Ellen and her sister Deirdre.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Snow Swept (The Snow Swept Trilogy) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Derrick Hibbard Page; Review: Mae Edwards is part of a terrorist group, the Contionum, who has ultimate power.

Then you have talented hackers that have stumbled onto a connection between the news events, the Contionum, and Paul having been in Miami at the time of the explosion. The title gave me no insight as to what the book was about. It is fast-paced but has many characters and the story jumps around and jumps from character-to-character. At the end, you will be left hanging and have many unanswered questions so reading book 2 of 3 is a must!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shine Not Burn; Author: Visit Amazon's Elle Casey Page; Review: Andie Marks gave up her party days and now has a lifeplan to succeed, in order to escape a bad childhood. As a sharp lawyer, she works long hours day-after-day to meet her goal, at each age milestone. Her best friends con her into joining them on a wild weekend to Las Vegas for her friends bachelorette weekend. She decides to let her hair down after her boyfriend breaks up with her via a text message. After drinking and spilling a drink on a sexy irresistible cowboy at the blackjack table, she and Gavin (Mack) MacKenzie get lucky in the casino and in her hotel room. The next morning Mack is gone and all Andie has is a hangover with a memory of wild steamy monkey sex but not of getting married. Two years have elapsed where each of them are living their own life. When Andie applies for a marriage license, they have to reunite. What will happen this time? Andie still struggles on what to do: follow her lifeplan or go with her heart? This book was a great romance making me laugh while having some hot sex scenes. I did feel upon reuniting the story should have explored more of them building a relationship since two years had passed and Andie had some memory lapses. Based on what was driving Andie and why, it was hard to believe she would have a boyfriend like that. I still enjoyed the book because it was a romance that made me laugh.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MacKenzie Fire: A Sequel to Shine Not Burn; Author: Visit Amazon's Elle Casey Page; Review: Candice, the city beautician from FL, arrives in Baker City, Oregon, for vacation since her BFF Andie MacKenzie is about to have her baby. Meeting her at the airport are a waddling Andie and her husbands brother, country sexy hot cowboy Ian MacKenzie. Ian has been cranky for 3 years due to breaking off his engagement, still living on the family ranch, and seeing how happy his brother is. Candice is NOT prepared for the freezing winter but there is no way she will allow Ian to help her at all. To say the least, Candice and Ian butt heads! Being a head-strong woman, Candice does everything within her power to push Ians buttons, annoy him, and stop his self-pity. Life is not boring on the ranch because Ian, being his grumpy self and infuriating, just gives it right back to Candice. They try to outdo the other. What does surprise them is the unexpected attraction for each other but how can that work since she is from the bottom far east state and he is from the top far west state? I personally thought this sequel was better than Shine Not Burn. The story made you laugh throughout, the flow from chapter-to-chapter was good, and it only had 2 steamy hot sex scenes for a romance. Candice and Ian badgering each other make the story. She is a strong independent woman but also open, carefree, and loyal to her BFF. Ian is the typical alpha male but turns out to a quite the catch once over his self-pity. There is no second chance at love but more of a great build on a relationship accepting who they are. It was a relaxing fun read that I would recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

When Damon becomes violent, it shocks everyone until they discover why is overly protective. Lara will do about anything following Carls words of wisdom, relying on her gut instinct, and getting close again to Damon in order to join the dots before the killer strikes again and she is killed herself. This is not a stand-alone book. The big case is resolved but, at the end, you will have unanswered questions to force you into reading the next book. I definitely will be reading the follow-on book since the plot was captivating and the characters well-developed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I was not connected with this book like a normal romance since it is more a dog lovers book. Enjoy what you have now because you never know what tomorrow will bring.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: House Trained; Author: Visit Amazon's Jackie Bouchard Page; Review: Alex Halstad, a mother to their dog as well as a perfectionist focused on her career, has her orderly life uprooted when the teenage daughter of her husband, Barry, shows up on their doorstep with her baby on her hip. Shocked Barry did not know he had a daughter let alone a granddaughter. Their dog, Marie, openly welcomes the daughter Marie nicknamed Wren and granddaughter Ruthie but Alex is not so welcoming since she did not want any kids by choice. Insecurities surface for Alex because she has spent most of their savings on her failing business without Barry knowing, their routine is chaotic now, and she wonders if Barrys ex will come back into his life.

Wren and Ruthie start to grab their hearts of love so can Alex learn, from their dog, the true meaning of acceptance? That will be put to the test when a near tragedy strikes. I liked this book better than Rescue Me, Maybe. It was a heartwarming easy read about true life struggles. Wren was represented as a responsible teenage mother making an effort for being healthy and having a positive environment without any swearing or the word no. It is said a dog is mans best friend so can you learn from it? Think about how you would handle your struggling business which is your dream when you also have the sudden shock of being a stepmother.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Complicated Creatures: Part One - Kindle edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Alexi Lawless Page; Review: Jack Roman has an empire in Chicago where work and family are his life but he loves to be a playboy.

He is open, honest, and willing to take a chance. She keeps Jack at a safe distance though. At the end, she takes on her ex-boyfriend as a client, a renowned photojournalist Wes Elliott. Samantha is the only woman Jack wants and Wes wants Samantha back no matter what! This is not a stand-alone book since you are left hanging at the end. It is a good story so you definitely will be so engrossed in the book that you will want to read the follow-on book. As for the romance part, it is a relationship that builds so it draws you in but there are no sex scenes until towards the end of the book. I was disappointed in the suspense part some since there was not your typical murder to solve, killer to capture, etc. laid out towards the beginning. You do have such questions in your mind throughout as to what did Samantha do that was so bad, why is she so secretive about her past and feelings, why is she devastated by her ex-boyfriend Wes, and how far will her current love Jack tolerate Samantha not expressing herself and being so secretive? Lets start the next book to get some answers!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Now she leads the riskiest operation of her life which will probably kill her. Can her lovers do anything to save her? Loved this book after reading the first book in the series. The tension draws you in and you go back and forth trying to decide which lover should win Samantha. This book has loads of action, complex situations, suspense, romance, awesome support system, and enemies which will hold your attention throughout. You are left with cliffhangers so why is book 3 not available!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Towards the end, Layla becomes strong and sassy which keeps Rage on his toes. Danger is all around them now. There is murder, suspense, drug dealers, and the mob all in one stand-alone story. At times, I had to go back to get a grasp on who was talking. Good book but I am not a huge fan of books pertaining to gangs and violence.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Harper falls in love with Luke by being honest with him but Luke will not open up about his feelings due to his devastating past. What will happen to their relationship when Luke gets deployed for six month? At the beginning, I was asking if anyone can be that absent-minded then trusting of people she did not know. Reading on I fell in love with Harpers intelligence, compassion, sincerity, fun-loving nature, witty banter, and how she always bounces back. The story truly built on the relationship developing between Harper and Luke, with wild sex between them. You will want to shake Luke to wake up and smell the roses! This book draws you in making you laugh and cry. It is a great stand-alone romance more about love than a second chance at a love you once had. I loved the support provided by the small town. Insight is included as to the suspense of Harpers and Lukes pasts which explains why they are the way they are. Luke wants to give Harper what she needs and wants but his past is heart wrenching. Read it to see how they each get what they want which is a terrific ending!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Black Flagged Apex; Author: Visit Amazon's Steven Konkoly Page; Review: Al Qaeda cells are in the US, as well as virus canisters, along with the domestic right wing terrorist group True America, with ties to a political movement. Ryan Sharpe deploys Task Force Scorpion to hunt down the terrorists and recover the virus before America is harmed. Working off the books, Sanderson sends his black ops team led by Daniel Petrovich to protect America. As details are unraveled, it shakes US authorities about the impending bioweapons attack. Time is running out so Sharpe has no choice but to work with a sworn enemy to stop the plan to destabilize the US. This is a long book which is not a stand-alone book. I enjoyed the plot which gives one much to think about. However, I felt at the beginning of the book I needed to take notes because there were so many characters and I needed to keep them straight. I would suggest the list of alphabetical characters at the end be put at the front because I referred back to the list often. The story has multiple story lines and, at times, I was confused why a character was casually mentioned then the story moves forward. There are many twists and turns that will keep you intrigued so you cannot just sit back and relax to read this book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Black Flagged Vektor; Author: Visit Amazon's Steven Konkoly Page; Review: In the last book, a Russian scientist, Dr. Anatoly Reznikov responsible for the virus attack on the US, is taken and put under secret custody. Karl Berg, CIA Assistant Deputy Director, sets out on a mission to prevent future attacks. He needs on the books and off the books support to destroy the bio-weapons Vektor Labs in Novosibirsk. Between the Russian mafia and political bureaucracy, the US learns Russia wants to eliminate Reznikov which could threaten Bergs mission. General Sandersons Black Flag team is enlisted to destroy the lab, deflect attention, and do what is necessary to complete the mission. Will the covert Black Flag team be able to get to the border in time to escape their death? Great espionage plot though you have to think to grasp the characters and story rather than sit back to read a relaxing book. Good guys do bad things but then bad guys do good things so whose side do you take? There are many characters in each book which is why I would not recommend reading this as a stand-alone book. At the end of the book, a list of characters is presented. If you had that before starting to read the book it might help keep them straight. One goal is accomplished but the book leaves you with another situation leading into the next book in the series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Second Chance Summer (Midnight Cove Menage) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Marie Carnay Page; Review: Summer Crenshaw loved Midnight Cove but had to escape due to one steamy night with Blake Turner and Devin Rogers, her best friends.

Not happy with her life, Summer feels powerless to change it then Blake and Devin walk back into her life.

Summer truly wants both men and loves both but what will people think? They have a secret they need to share with Summer or things might not work out if she hears it from someone else. I was not sure I would enjoy a book about a three-some but it was a romance and I like to think I am open-minded. There is passion and love between them but do you think eventually there might be jealousy between the two guys? Love comes in different forms with no boundaries. If you know what to expect from the storyline then you will enjoy the book.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Marc has softened with vulnerability for this red headed wildcat with green eyes. Will Lily ever find peace or will she be killed taking down the Russian Bratva boss? You should read the prior book first then you can easily flow into this follow-on book. This book is complex but easy to read having foul language since they are mercenaries. There is raw sexual chemistry between Lily and Marc, with plenty of banter. You will want these hard characters to succeed and live. No plan seems to work so they are down to winging it. Great read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

My heart broke for him but he is strong, courageous to overcome his issues, and a romantic. Skylar loves to talk, pry, and has some growing up to do. She will stand up to him believing he is worth fighting for and accepts him as he is. There is a magnet drawing them to each other while helping each other grow.

You will establish an emotional connection with the main characters. Your heart will ache for the many personalities that Sebastian lives with but then a light starts to shine for him. Skylar senses what Sebastian needs, is willing to give him multiple chances by showing patience, understanding, and dedication. Both are hard of themselves. Good book!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: TENDER DECEIT (The TENDER Series ~ Book 1) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's H.Y. Hanna Page; Review: Sadly Leah Fisher must return home to Singapore after hearing her estranged father was killed in a hit and run accident, maybe not an accident after all. Her goal is to handle the matter, in a few days, and return to London. Unexpectedly she runs into Toran James, her first love and the one who broke her heart, who has grown to be handsome, well built, but dangerous. They run into danger but can she trust him because she knows he is hiding secrets? Someone is out to silence Leah but is it Toran, who she still has feelings for, or someone else? What was behind her fathers murder? Gripping action-packed story that ends with the suspense part resolved but not the romance part. I read this book reviews and knew everything would not come to closure until the third book. Though I prefer stand-alone books, I got into this series because it is only three books. Yes, I can think of a couple things left hanging pertaining to communications between Leah and Toran when they were young and Toran and his ex-girlfriend relationship but assume the follow-on books will address those. Great book to read with no explicit sex scenes or violence. For what it is worth, when I looked at how much I was paying to download books in one month vs the cost of Amazon Unlimited where you pay a monthly cost and can download any number of books, I saved money with Amazon Unlimited. Hence, the reason I will get into 2-3 book series now.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: TENDER TREACHERY (The TENDER Series ~ Book 2) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's H.Y. Hanna Page; Review: Leah Fisher turns down her promotion to move back to Singapore to give love a second chance with Toran James. Upon returning, she decides to surprise Toran about her return but she gets the surprise of her life. Toran attempts to explain the situation with his ex-fiance Angela. That attraction between them is still certainly there when they see each other. Leah actually liked Angela so feels guilty for not stopping her go to Sanctum Bona Dea. When Angela goes missing, she convinces Toran she needs to go to the womens retreat to see if Angela is there and bring her home. Retreat my eye! Leah learns how hard it is to get into the retreat so wonders if it is even possible to get out. This is a stand-alone book where the suspense is resolved but the romance is not totally resolved. You will understand the suspense about why Leah and Toran lost contact when they were back in school. The end will also tie book three into something from book one. It is a fast-paced light reading book with no explicit sex scenes or vulgar language. I enjoyed the book so I am off to read the last book in the series to see how Leahs secret will impact Leah and Toran.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Consequence of Loving Colton; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Van Dyken Page; Review: Milo Caro was Jasons little sister and grew up being inseparable with Jason and his best friend, Colton Mathews. She always had a crush on Colton but Colton made it clear, before she left for college, he did not view her as a woman. Therefore, Milo avoided going home much so she wouldnt see Colton. Four years later, Jason is marrying, Coltons the best man, and Milo gets paired with Colton as his last-minute date. This will be the time to pursue the firefighters heart or move on past her love for Colton. Max, Milos best friend, crashes the party, as her fake boyfriend, for maybe his own personal reasons. Together they devise a plan to get Colton to open his eyes toward Milo. Then it becomes personal between Max and Colton. Now it becomes complicated. Is Max serious somewhat or joking with what comes out of his mouth? So much tugging and pulling between the group to out-do the others crazy. Sometimes I thought it was a bit too much. This story is over the top like an accident waiting to happen. It is a hilarious light romance having a deep friendship, with no in-depth sex scenes. You will enjoy the book if you know what to expect not a heavy romance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Consequence of Revenge; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Van Dyken Page; Review: Max Emorys best friend married another guy and now he is lost. His friends decide he needs to get off his butt and do something with his life so they sign up him to be the next bachelor for the reality TV show Love Island. With his forged signature, how can he not do it? He is stranded on an island with 25 women, a goat, and a little gecko. One of the contestants is Becca, the Starbucks barista who did not fall for his lines back home. She is sassy, smart, a match for Maxs goofiness and quirks, and has a big heart and thinks Max needs some saving. Becca is on the show to win the money not the bachelor. Max is cocky, sexy, and a one high energy person with frantic flights of thought, crazy comments and ideas, sarcasm, and has silly humor. On the other hand, Max is smitten by Becca and wants to get to know her better. The more time they spend together the heat gets turned up. They make a pact to win the show together. Maxs friends taunt and torture him but he sets out for revenge. In the end, will Beccas heart win her over in the few weeks on the island or will she still take the money for school if she is the chosen contestant. I thought this book was crazier than the first book in the series. There is unfiltered talk but it is a hilarious book that will make you laugh. This is a light-hearted romance that will make you shake your head with the craziness.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Consequence of Seduction; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Van Dyken Page; Review: Jordan Litwrights new client is the one and only Hollywood upcoming actor, Reid Emory, with those aqua blue hypnotic eyes and winning smile. Reid has been down in the slumps lately which is why he needs a publicist. Though Jordan is one of the best publicists, she prefers to stay in the background while promoting and protecting her client into the limelight. She can sell any idea and absolutely will not get involved with the client. That is until a publicity stunt fails and she finds herself as Reids new love interest in a fake relationship. Why won't her body follow her rule of not getting involved! Reid sees something in Jordan that she doesnt see in herself and loves the challenge of taming the shrew. There is chemistry between them which they both begin to realize but the mixed signals causes some instability with each other. Max, Reids brother, is as annoying as ever, constantly talking, and meddling to help Jordan and Reid along in their relationship. As crazy as he is, I started to see how he truly cares for those close to him and does what he can to make their life better. Jordan still wonders if their romance is true and will it last once Reid makes it into the big time of movies. The story was good, with the banter between Jordan and Reid making me laugh. Fun read which I really enjoyed maybe because I was use to crazy Max from the previous two books. Reid is a person Jordan could fall for but could also hurt her. Reid never saw it coming falling for a woman that shot him down initially, was simple, had wild hair, and curves. This could be a standalone book but a book is needed about Jason to complete the group of friends.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

My heart went out to the couple when all cards were laid on the table. Does true love win in the end? I loved how they fought to move on from the past and get what they wanted most. Do not judge a book by its cover because things are not always as they seem. This is a stand-alone book with no cliffhanger. Worth the read if you like books about a couple getting a second chance at love.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Lizzies best friend Faye cracked me up; in the ways she tried to help Lizzie. Losing that special someone you love with all your heart can be devastating. It must be extremely hard to be able to live each day and feel like you can breathe. The story was about love, loss of that love, friendship developed for healing, falling in love, and perseverance. There is even a surprise at the end which I liked. At first I thought this was a sad romance but, by the end of the book, I found the book emotional and powerful. I cried and cried at the end of the book but it was worth the read. Good stand-alone book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Lie; Author: Visit Amazon's Karina Halle Page; Review: Brigs McGregor is married, with a son, but not in love with his wife. Then he meets Natasha Trudeau, who he falls head over heels for, and asks her to be his research assistant for the book he is writing. The night Brigs asks his wife for a divorce; his wife does something stupid which Brigs blames himself for so he refuses to see Natasha again. This sends him into a downward spiral. His life changes, until four years later, when he runs into Natasha, by accident, at the university where he is a professor. Natasha is getting her life back together after having a breakdown over Brigs. Fate now has brought them back together. Melissa, Natashas roommate, does everything she can to put a wedge between Brigs and Natasha. They make every attempt to fight their attraction to each other but their bond is genuine and true love. Somewhat of a sad romance due to death, guilt, pain in losing their love, but there is a second chance at an intense love which is also challenged. People make mistakes but that doesnt necessarily make them evil. Both Brigs and Natasha both regret what happened and felt they were the cause but you cannot control fate. It is a stand-alone book told in the past and present point of view. Learning what led up to their initial breakup was important. The book has foul language and explicit sex scenes but is a good read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Breakthrough; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael C. Grumley Page; Review: Alison Shaw and her team are enthralled in making history by having the first two-way conversation with dolphins. When a submarine suddenly aborts it mission due to mysterious circumstances, naval investigator, John Clay, is asked to investigate. Strange facts surface so John and the government enlist Alisons marine biology group to help. She does not trust them but realizes she may be able to trust John. Never did they expect the dolphins to uncover a secret spinning ring on the ocean floor. Is this a portal of some kind, where did it come from, and what is the purpose? To add to the mystery, they believe global warming is impacting the Antarctica ice shelf which is experiencing trembles and cracks which could cause millions of people to be killed. Everyone must work together to solve this puzzle but someone in the government is trying to interfere. With time running out, will they be able to prevent a world disaster and save the planet? The book gives you a different look at dangers facing earth that the normal population is sheltered from. However, sci-fi is not my cup of tea nor is multiple points of view but the multiple points of view did converge. There was action, mystery, conspiracy, and no romance and I did question some parts as being far- fetched. I personally felt the ending was rushed and some things were not explained. For the reasons mentioned, I only rated it three stars.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Leap; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael C. Grumley Page; Review: IMIS is a supercomputer capable of translating communications between dolphins Sally and Dirk and researcher Alison Shaw. Now there is a need for the same capability but between another researcher DeeAnn Draper and primates Dulce and Dexter. The world will never be the same. Adding suspense to the story, a Russian submarine thought to have been out-of-service has resurfaced in South America and there is a battleship in the harbor. John Clay and Steve Caesare are sent to investigate aboard a research boat. They discovered unmarked soldiers bringing crates down the jungle mountain, at night, and loading them onto the battleship. This discovery of the century could change life for every person on the planet and some would go to war over it. It can be a stand-alone book but reading the prior book Breakthrough gives you a better understanding going into this book. Though I am not a fan of sci-fi, I did enjoy this book more than Breakthrough. It does jump from the part on dolphins to the part on primates throughout the book. There is light romance with no sexual scenes. With even a leap in science and technology, the intent was to save humanity from itself. The story makes you think about research being done and the impact it can have on humans. My reason for three stars is because I am not a sci-fi fan.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Catalyst (Breakthrough); Author: Visit Amazon's Michael C. Grumley Page; Review: The secret mountain vault containing seeds, each with a genetic embryo, was to be kept a secret. Its purpose was to preserve Earths genetic history. Now some of it is gone and they need to find out who took some and where it went. Special Forces are called in to help. Steve Caesare and three men are to take DeeAnn Harper and the gorilla, Dulce, back to South America. They are to find a monkey, Dexter, who has some of this special DNA before others find him. Their IMIS computer seems to be getting errors or is it picking up something they do not realize? This system is critical in communicating with other species. John Clay, a Navy SEAL, is on a secret mission which may lead to where those missing seeds with a genetic embryo might be. Can you imagine what means a country would go to in order to get their hands on something that would extend life? What Alison Shaw has achieved with dolphins, Sally and Dirk, is amazing. They, along with someone else brought in, have uncovered a second vault somewhere where no one ever would have expected. It was determined whoever built it traveled an immense distance, for the sole purpose of hiding their genetic blueprints on Earth. Why and where is the source? Alison Shaw and John Clay are not prepared for what they uncover. You will wonder if some of this could really happen. There are events that are real life such as parachuting from a plane, the feel of bringing primates to their natural habitat, and the rush of Special Forces soldiers on an unknown mission. Throughout you are surprised with twists and the action keeps your interest and makes for a good storyline. It could be read as a stand-alone, but to fully appreciate the book, you should read the first two books in the series. I enjoyed the book which makes you think about events that could be taking place that the general public has no knowledge of but I am not into sci-fi.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Two Cabins, One Lake: An Alaskan Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Shaye Marlow Page; Review: Helly is a blonde independent person that lives by herself, in the Alaska Bush, and can take care of herself.

She also finds him handsome and well built so sparks fly between them. Both are risk-takers that stand nose-to-nose and believe in payback. Things could not get any worse than her crazy brothers come crashing in for a visit. Hellys brothers are a three ring circus but would do anything to protect Helly. Can the pair survive for Gary to capture Hellys heart? This is not your true romance book you would expect. It is a funny, crazy, serious, get even type of story but there is a romance with many hot explicit sex scenes. Helly is not your typical heroine either. You get a picture of Alaska life throughout the book. The ending surprised me when you get more details on Gary. I enjoyed the stand-alone book because it was a different type of romance. Though I often laughed, I rated it four stars because I was expecting more of a typical romance-type of book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

You will laugh at the banter between Ian and Blake then Lex and Gabi, Ians best friends, have a love/hate relationship. At first, I thought Ian was a total jerk but, as the story went on, I found myself forming a different opinion since he got played. Enjoyable read but I thought the rule don't fall for a client was drawn out. I anticipate a follow-on book about Lex and Gabi.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

The plot was interesting, with several twists and turns, so you need to put the puzzle pieces into place. You collect the clues as the NSA team goes along, racing to figure out in time who is to blame. Closure is at the end of the book so it could be read as a stand-alone.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

This book is full of twists and turns trying to unravel the clues to find out what is going on. Exactly what is the Tears of God project, who is Killjoy, and can they find the killer of Mallorys father? I thought it was a good stand-alone book, long, though the subject of the Tears of God project did not enthrall me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

She will stop at nothing so can Henley be the light that pulls Maverick from the darkness? Life seems to be on the right track for them then a huge betrayal comes to life.

The story has a serious flare since it deals with a motorcycle club, there is romance, but you will also laugh. Henley and Maverick start a prank war which was great. You will see the danger of being involved in club business but you will also see the family closeness shared and the tender side to a child with Downs syndrome. This can be read as a stand-alone.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Clutch: Satan's Fury MC (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's L. Wilder Page; Review: Olivia Turners parents are murdered and she is on the run, with her brother and sister, from the killers.

Clutch takes on a role that he never imagines when dealing with Olivia's younger siblings and proves he is much more than just a hardened biker on a mission for his club. Their relationship is based on trust and mutual respect for each other. I enjoyed the sexy cute banter between Olivia and Clutch and his care free attitude. Neither Olivia nor Clutch is looking for love but fate shows them what they have been missing. In this stand-alone motorcycle club story, there is romance with some suspense.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: One Way; Author: Visit Amazon's Tom Barber Page; Review: After being cleared to return to work, Sam Archer, of NYPDs Counter Terrorism Bureau, encounters men armed with guns approaching a group climbing into a car. He yells a warning but an all-out gunfight erupts. The group including Archer flees in a vehicle but is pursued by their ambushers. Tired are blown out, the car crashes into a fire hydrant, and the group is forced to take cover in a Harlem tenement building. With only one way in and out, the ambushers seal off the building so the group is trapped and no one can rescue them. Hiding in an apartment, Archer realizes these US Marshals are protecting this little girl because someone desperately wants her dead. Little do they realize the danger they are in since help from the outside is impossible and they have no clue how many trained killers there are. The chase goes through the building from one floor to another, to the roof, and back down. It is either kill or be killed but their odds are getting slim since they are running out of ammunition and time. Can Archers support team, with good instincts and determination, make it in time? Entire story is about a siege, with many twists and turns, that will keep you on the edge of your seat with tension and non-stop action. The main characters are believable and honorable in the job they are determined to do. There are many gory violent deaths but that is to be expected when you have trained killers against good guys. This is a stand-alone book because the ending will answer questions you may have but also gives you a surprise ending. It makes you think about the daily encounters police, security, and US Marshals have to protect the general public. Great book so I will read the next book in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Even their headquarters is basically demolished. How can they handle another assault when their team members are dropping like flies? Finally Archer begins to see the light about Vargas abduction and understand why she was taken. This is a very impressive young author with quite a future ahead of him. Stand-alone action packed book, with kidnappings, sniper attacks, bombings, and car chases. Who is the well funded master mind behind all this with such a violent background? I really enjoyed the two books I read in this series and you will also if you like this type of storyline.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Dangerous Habits (Leah Nash Mysteries) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Susan Hunter Page; Review: Leah Nash is an inquisitive report that is persistent, smart, sharp-tongued, resourceful, and does everything possible to find out the truth. The story starts with a nun leaving a message for Leah then the nun is killed. This compels her to look again at the accidental death of her troubled teenage sister since she resided at a Catholic school. As Leah pursues through a maze of hidden motives and discovers buried secrets, she is drawn into one threatening situation after another. You have no doubt in her views but you also see a touch of vulnerability. Who will be next on Leahs list to investigate? One thing I did not like was there was no introduction to a character so when the character just appeared you had to figure out how that character played in the storyline. The various characters kept you guessing as to who did it. Just when I thought I knew who did it, there would be another twist or turn that surprised me. It was a fast paced good mystery where Leahs strength and stubbornness created tension. There is a touch of romance. The book could be a stand-alone, even though there is a follow-up book. I felt there were too many guilty ones, in the end, but a shocking revelation surprised me by how the book ended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dangerous Mistakes: A Leah Nash Mystery (Leah Nash Mysteries) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Susan Hunter Page; Review: Leah Nash was an investigative reporter, for a local small town paper, that was kind, stubborn, and bound to proceed no matter who or what was in front of her. After her last newspaper story, she wrote a book and may be on her way to becoming a crime novelist. Now a surgeons daughter begs Leah to look into her fathers suicide because she does not believe he committed suicide. Leah follows lead after lead causing a person to be killed, someone to attack her, people to get mad at her, and a maze of secrets and lies. This is a mystery with many unexpected twists, turns, and surprises along the way. There is plenty of action to keep you guessing who did it and why until the end of the book. Though this is a standalone book, there is a slight cliff hanger at the end. You will enjoy the book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dare to Hold (Dare to Love) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Carly Phillips Page; Review: Meg Thompson is a kindergarten teacher pregnant by her ex-boyfriend that abused her because she would not terminate her pregnancy. Scott Dare is the cop that went to the hospital to work Megs case but he also is a friend of her acquaintances. They are drawn to each other and, with Meg being vulnerable, Scott takes on being her protector. He wants to take over but Meg wants to be strong and independent of a man rather than clingy. Before you know it, Meg is getting her wish for one night of mind-blowing sex and Scott cannot walk away. Is he actually falling for her? Scott has a hang-up from his childhood, as well as an ex that burned him too. Therefore, he waffles back and forth about wanting Meg but afraid to let her get too close. Meg puts her classroom kids first and her unborn child which is good. They communicated well and respected each other enough to understand what the other needed. Family intervention gets Scott to realize what his true feelings are for Meg and what he wants in his life. My initial reaction was what newly pregnant lady that was abused would have a one-night stand on her mind just for the sex. Of course anyone wanting a one-night stand would not want any strings attached. This book had hot steamy passionate sex, from the very beginning, which my preference would be to have it build in a romance. Still though, Meg has not changed because she is clingy to Scott. Will love conquer all that they can overcome their pasts and build a future together starting off which a baby? Good romance if you have some idea what the story is about.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: MURDER, MADNESS & LOVE: a mystery; Author: Visit Amazon's Yolanda Rene Page; Review: Sarah Palmer, known as the Black Widow, is thought to have killed her millionaire husband Michael. Now she is in the middle of a series of murders and it is not known if she is responsible for them or she is the victim. Detective Steven Quaid is to investigate the case, while protecting Sarah from a potential stalker. Initially he was out to destroy her but then is pulled into her web. As the book bounced between Anchorage and Seattle so does the killer bounce between playing cat and mouse. Sarah knew the murdered individuals killed on the 14th of each month and she is taunted with vicious Valentines related to her anniversary with Michael. Can Sarah have the strength to fight what is happening to her or will she cave and end up being killed too? The book involved various murders which kept you guessing who the culprit is. There were surprises thrown in throughout the book. At the beginning, the story started out fast paced then it seemed to slow down and I also wondered how a character, especially like Sarah, could change moods so quickly. I went back and forth who did the killings so I enjoyed the book but thought the ending could have been somewhat better.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Memories of Murder; Author: Visit Amazon's Yolanda Rene Page; Review: Sarah Palmer has headaches and is haunted by nightmares, on the inside, because of her kidnapping and rape in the past. On the outside, she is there for others and always giving. Detective Steven Quaid, her finance, thinks he is protecting her by not letting her know the facts of his cases and keeping her at arm length. Their relationship is on again off again due to Stevens love for Sarah but also his love for his career which has had bad press. Sarahs paintings are dark and sinister but they are her only relief from her dreams and evil since Steven is always breaking promises. Her paintings have become popular throughout the world giving her a renewed strength. Then you have an evil villain obsessed with the daughter, Phoenix, of his first love that is deceased. He deems Sarah as a perfect love. The devil trains and tortures his obsession coming after her to be his next bride of darkness. Standing in the way of the devil is his greed and Detective Quaid. Law enforcement is challenged by this demon. Phoenix and Sarah establish a bond that may be able to help law enforcement find this villain. Can Steven and the others find the villain in time or will the devil and his obsession marry on the summer solstice? Could someone truly go through the on again off again relationship Steven put her through that long? Steven victimizes Sarah but Sarah is also strong in other aspects of her life. The story is about trust, betrayal, love, sex, and complete madness. Good mystery but I am not one into devil worshipers and many explicit details on sacrifices. Sarahs dreams and paintings, along with Phoenixs journals of her dreams, bring the story to closure.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Advocate's Dilemma (The Advocate Series) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Teresa Burrell Page; Review: One day Juvenile Court Attorney Sabre Brown walked into her office to find George Foreman, a slimy drug user and considered by others to be scum, dead across her desk. When the dead mans wife, Dana Foreman, accused Sabres best friend, Bob Clark, of having an affair with her, he gets arrested as the prime suspect for the murder. Dana Foreman was an alcoholic and drug user so the court was brought in for their children 14 year old Riley and 11 year old Marcus. Being homeless, Marcus has been running the streets alone at night running a scam his father got him into. Currently Sabre is the attorney for the two boys so how can she free her best friend and still protect the two boys? While Detective Shane Klakken, of the San Diego Police Department, works the case, Sabre brings in her private investigator, JP Torn, to find out what really happened. How can Sabre help her best friend without betraying the confidence of the children she is protecting? Her client has information that might clear Bob but she is dedicated and ethical. She has to find a way to get justice for her clients, other innocent victims, and her best friend. Finally Sabre and JP are able to expose and break up an illegal ring, while finding the best possible justice they can for the situation. I enjoyed the book which kept your interest. You feel sorry for the kids drawn into bad situations of drugs, alcohol, and crime as a result of parents neglect. The story had various twists and turns which I found interesting as to protecting attorney client privileged information but getting to the bottom of who did it. My only negative thought was Sabres best friend Bob seemed to spend more time with Sabre than his wife Marilee. But then again Marilee did not have a major part on the story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Advocate's Felony (The Advocate Series Book 6) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Teresa Burrell Page; Review: After 7 years of not talking to her brother Ron, who has been in the Witness Protection Program, Attorney Sabre Brown gets a call from Ron during the night. Someone has found him and is trying to kill him. He believes Sabre and their mother could be in danger. She is advised to get their mother and go somewhere safe to hide. Sabre is restless while having the need to help Ron so she and her private investigator, JP Torn, start their search for him. Ron has always communicated in code so the only clue Sabre has is Ron is going to The Ultimate Place. The 6 felons Ron testified against have been released from prison but someone is killing them one-by-one. Is someone trying to kill Ron, is someone trying to protect him, or did Ron change over the past 7 years and he is the actual killer? Sabre is risking her relationships and career to find the truth. I found the mountain man that helped Sabre, JP, and Ron to be quite interesting but extremely dependable. There are real life circumstances in each book to make you appreciate the life you have while understanding the belief you have in others you love. Should you figure out who the bad guy is before the end, can you figure out the why? This is a good clean stand-alone mystery having non-graphic violence, humor, romance but no sex scenes. I really enjoyed the book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Just for Fun: Escape to New Zealand Book Four; Author: Visit Amazon's Rosalind James Page; Review: Emma Martens, a single mom raising her son Zack, and Nic Wilkinson, a top rugby player with the New Zealand All Blacks, had a non-forgettable week in Fiji. That was six years ago and they have not been in touch since. One day at a rugby camp that Nic is helping with, there is a boy that stands out, as well as looks like him, and he is shocked to see Emma. Nic learns the boys name and that Emma is his mother which is how Nic learns he has a son. Though Emma and Nic threw caution to the wind in Fiji and are totally opposite, Zack is their common thread. The consequences mean life altering changes but the best thing Nic can give his son is his presence. However, Nic has a fiancée that is very cold to Emma and Zack. Do Emma and Nic follow their hearts which could be complicated, scary, but worth the risk? They have a second chance to get it right and have a happy-ever-after. The chemistry between Emma and Nic sizzled with some sexy love scenes. I loved that Nic was responsible in doing the right thing and stood up to his father. Emma was strong when she needed to be especially about the gossip about the man she believed in and loved. Their character development was good and I though Nics fiancée was there for the perks that came along with Nic but she finally did the right thing. Conflicts that arose were typical but I found the cultural information/lingo very interesting. Very good read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Their date, with hopes of coming to terms about the lighthouse situation, is the most unusual date!!! Abes relationship with his mother was so endearing and played an important role. This is a stand-alone story knitted about two people finding love as well as forgiveness. I struggled with how the knitting came into play. The characters have past insecurities to make their thinking realistic. Fiona appeared to be a real person but, if Abe was as handsome as we were led to believe, I struggled that he had not moved on from Rayna. Maybe that is because it was a small town. Initially I thought Rayna was a spoiled brat but, in the end, I had eventually had a different opinion. Fionas mother left them but her father did not step up to the plate so I was not impressed with him. I enjoyed the quaint town atmosphere. Overall the book is about friendship, has humor, plus there are some red-hot sexy scenes. In one sex scene, I was so furious with Abe Im not sure what it would have taken for me to forgive him. I did cry towards the end. If you are looking for a small town romance, I would read this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A World of Trouble; Author: Visit Amazon's Jake Needham Page; Review: Jack Shepherd started his life over in Hong Kong by becoming General Charlie Kitnaroks lawyer. Though Charlie was the 98 richest man in the world, he was living in exile in Dubai having been the former prime minister of Thailand. An assassination attempt was made on Charlie, in Dubai, but Jack discovers there was no evidence that the attack occurred. He meets a FBI agent investigating illegal arms sales to protestors. One of Charlies financial holdings is involved which brings Jack into the web since he is a trustee of the company. Is Charlie truly involved with smuggling weapons into his supporters to gain control of Thailand? To make matters worse, the FBI, CIA, and Thai Intelligence are involved plus Charlie is planning to return as prime minister of Thailand. Now Jack is caught in the middle because he considers Charlie a friend and the new prime minister of Thailand is also a friend, a female he had a special relationship with. Jack may be the only person able to put an end to this. Can Jack figure out how to prevent a civil war in Thailand while protecting his two friends? I liked that Jack asked questions, gathered evidence, and made a decision not knowing if it is right or wrong. People thought he knew more than he led on because he had friends in the right places. He attracted trouble, was a smart aleck, and could not let things go. The book made you think about third world countries which made me think how could Jack be so nave? My only real disappointment was I still had questions at the end rather than complete closure. The plot moved fast and I kept asking myself questions and wondered what was going to happen next. Enjoy the read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Jack teams up with two people he knows and joins forces with the King of Macaus daughter to outwit and outplay the Chinese mob and shut down the black money flow. The book is complex and very descriptive in the lands past history, current political affairs, and how things generally go there. You will be drawn in to the beauty, thrill of danger, and international affairs that exist whether openly or under-handedly. Jack does not try to win people over but he is determined, smart, quick with wit, and human at times. I enjoyed the book but the ending left me wondering if another book will pick up from there.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Camp Jameson; Author: Visit Amazon's Wendy Lea Thomas Page; Review: If you are in the mood for an erotic book that will arouse you and make you ask yourself, How far could I actually go, then read this book. Aria Masons best friend, Sara, tricked her into going to a summer sex camp. Camp Jameson is in lockdown for six weeks but it is a first class place to live out all your sexual fantasies. No sooner does the female newbie arrive at camp, referred to as a kitten, when Aria runs into Nate. Nate broke her heart after a one-night stand so Aria wants to flee camp. That is when Avery Jameson enters the picture as the billionaire owner of the camp and he is sexy besides good looking. Sara warns her to stay away from Avery! Aria being young, inexperienced, and innocent catches Averys attention. He has a personal policy never to fall for one of the kittens at camp but can he uphold his policy? Camp Jameson teaches the kittens how to please a man, as well as themselves, and receive pleasure in individual chapters. They get to apply what was learned on the male staff!!! The key rule to remember is no means no. Where was an adult camp like this when I was young? The book is very hot, steamy, with a variety of sexual encounters. This is a wild, kinky, fun loving story that will even make you laugh. Supporting characters were great, as well as being a big part of the book. Pranks are pulled and there are Olympics at the end of camp. No cliffhanger but I did ask myself would any woman shut out that many times have not walked away.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Reckless (Renegades) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Skye Jordan Page; Review: Lexi LaCroix grew up poor working for everything she got. She created her own couture wedding dress business for the rich and famous. Now she has the dream of taking her business to a higher level. On her way to a potential partner meeting in NY, Lexi tests out the app her best friend created. Seeing Bentley Jax Chamberlin while they are waiting to catch their NY flight, she anonymously texts him figuring that is where it will end. Lexi is uptight, insecure, and built walls to protect herself. Jax was a Hollywood actor turned bad boy biker stunt man. Jax is intrigued by these mysterious flirting texts and realizes he wants to meet this person at the other end of the phone rather than having it end. The offer on the table is a totally one night hook-up only. That sexy passionate encounter leaves Jax wanting more but Lexi worries about her image so he is the last thing she needs in her life. Off she goes back to LA. Jax, on the other hand, is trying to build his own Renegades stunt company and is sick and tired of women using him to get what they want. He comes from a Hollywood family so his family is involved in all aspects of the movie industry. While separated, they both realize it was not just a one night stand. Jax takes a chance, after a few weeks, and contacts Lexi. Lexi asks herself if her image has been controlling her life. He fears his connections could take her to that next level but also fears she may end up using him too. What I did not like was Lexi worrying so about her image and business without getting to know Jax and giving him a chance. I felt bad for him but thought he was a big person to walk away from what they had together so she could still achieve her dream. The supporting characters were great. Here is a story of taking a chance on a happy every after. I just wish I could find an anonymous app like that so I could live out my deeply rooted wild side! This romance is worth the read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Cold Dark Place (Cold Justice) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Toni Anderson Page; Review: The book starts out on a lonely dark highway where a girl goes missing. Eighteen years ago FBI Special Agent Mallory Rooneys twin sister was abducted and the case was never solved. She joined the FBI hopeful to get answers, besides bringing down serial killers.

Who was committing these murders, are they connected, and why come after Mallory? Alex swears to protect Mallory which is his priority even if it means revealing his true identify and going back to prison.

How many people around her are involved with murder to be imprisoned/executed if found out? Clues are provided along the way but ultimately who made it all happen to have the happy-ever-after ending? You will enjoy the read. I would read the next book in the series if it was free like the first book; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unintended Target (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's D.L. Wood Page; Review: Chloe McConnaughey is a traveling photojournalist, with a twin brother, Tate, who is a brilliant security programmer. He has done something that put Chloe in harms way thinking he is making sure she is taken care of to live her life in style. Tate is killed in a car crash so Chloe takes an assignment to a Caribbean Island St. Gideon to escape reality. There is meets Jack Collings, a charming guy from Manhattan who is also trying to escape reality. Unaware that someone is following her, Chloe is assaulted but saved by Jack, who protects her throughout the book. Receiving a flash drive from Tate, with some incriminating facts, she is framed for murder and running from killers. The killers believe she is the key. With nowhere else to turn, she must trust Jacks help but is suspicious of him. Chloe always has a sense of hopelessness but questions why God would allow bad things to happen to someone good. Together they hunt for evidence to prove their innocence to elude the conspiracy that will stop at nothing to kill them. Action filled story but easy to follow. You may figure out who is behind hunting Chloe but due to the twists you keep reading. Personally I did not think Tate was a very nice guy. I did not mind the Christian aspect since it didn't push religion or but was more like a realistic conversation. Great read and I would recommend the book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Four Week Fiance; Author: Helen Cooper; Review: Mila was in high school when TJ Walker was in college. She has always loved him but felt he viewed her as her brothers little sister since her brother and TJ were best friends. TJ is hot, a millionaire, but has secrets Mila knows nothing about. Head-over-heels for him Mila is too nave and immature to question some of his actions. Can you believe TJ asked Mila to be his fiancé for 4 weeks? He made Mila an offer she would have died for but what are the catches? Anything she wanted he would get her to accept the offer but scandalous enough to make her think about not accepting it. This is the lowest rating I have given any book. The book goes on and on, without a real storyline, then one hour left in the book you get to the meat of the book. There are sexual teases but nothing really happens. I was not fond of the back and forth from Milas diary entries to the current day. Though the book ends with a cliffhanger I will not read the second book.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Chaysing Dreams; Author: Visit Amazon's Jalpa Williby Page; Review: Tessnia Sanoby, Tess, seems to have everything a girl could want. The perfect family, good looks, good grades, athletic ability, great friends, but she has a reoccurring dream where a mysterious man is chasing a female and she is running for her life. She meets Joe on her 16th birthday doing her volunteer work, they are drawn to each other, but then she doesnt see him again. Off to college she goes, where Chris gives her personal attention on being a better runner. They are drawn to each other but he may also annoy her the most. Chris is mysterious because he appears to be interested, then is stand-offish, handsome, also excels at everything, is strong, and seems to be in the right place at the right time. Strictly by accident Tess realizes Joe and Chris are actually the same person but why the different names and different appearances? Suddenly Tess life is shattered when her parents are killed. Her friends try to help her but it seems the only person that may be able to pull her out of it is the one person she doesnt want to see. The mysterious person Tess is drawn to actually starts telling her the truth about himself. His real name is Chayse and why he used the names Joe and Chris and had to change his identity. This book is about young adults taking you from Tess as a young girl through college years. At the beginning, I thought the book was slow, for a suspense book. Somewhere along the way I was drawn into the suspense by asking myself questions. As you read the book, you will get to know each character and feel like you are there with them. You know how the book will end but it leaves you wanting to read the second of the three books in this series for answers to your questions. The story has suspense, passion, tragedy, but what would you sacrifice for love?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chaysing Memories: Book 2; Author: Visit Amazon's Jalpa Williby Page; Review: Although Tess lost 3 weeks of memory and all memory of Chayse, her heart cannot forget that man with the alluring grey eyes and the last words he whispered. Still haunted by her dreams, she goes on a dangerous assignment, as part of an elite military group. They are to save a fellow special agent she has never met but that has been in captivity for several months. Chayse was willing to give up his life to protect Tess. Will he survive hoping Tess can save him, though he knows she does not remember him? Tess discovers the rescued agent is the one with the alluring grey eyes that has been haunting her for some reason. Can he recover from all that torture to maybe give Tess some of the answers she is looking for? Her attraction to Chayse is just as powerful as it was before she lost her memory. Dangerous men hunting Chayse will stop at nothing to get him. Chayse thinks he still needs to distance himself from Tess but can she convince him differently? Book 2 is still suspenseful and action-packed but includes more of a love story between Tess and Chayse. Tess has matured and still is a caring young woman with a loving heart that would do anything for this man she cannot get out of her mind. You could feel the tension, teasing, and romance between them but what will pull them apart? The ending shocked me and left me anxious to get into reading the last book of the trilogy. I enjoyed reading the trilogy more now.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chaysing Destiny: Book 3; Author: Visit Amazon's Jalpa Williby Page; Review: So much has happened to Tess Sanoby in the first two books of this trilogy. The love of her life, Chayse Pierce, was blown up at the cabin so she has to raise their son, Jace, by herself. Her boss, Tom Sterns of a special elite military team, asks her once again to go on a dangerous undercover assignment in Iraq. She is to gather information on a terrorist, by the name of Saheim. Leaving loved ones behind since this is to be a short assignment, she accepts because she is full of revenge towards Chayses killers and finally she may get answers to questions about Chayse Pierce. What Tess uncovers turns her world upside down! The story is taken from current events but there is a futuristic aspect to it also. It is fast moving so you will not want to put it down and you will cheer for the characters as they face some serious developments. A twist thrown in the middle caught me off guard plus I cried due to the emotions the author draws you into. Different characters points of view will fill in the blanks of the story. There have only been lie after lie by people Tess trusted so wouldnt you be angry and bitter too? You finally discover who has been chasing Chayse his entire life and why plus how Tess and Chayses lives were intertwined before they ever met. Realistically would someone be able to truly come back from the dark side and what female could hang in there that long. This is fiction so a good book for entertainment. I personally felt this was the best gook of the trilogy but you truly should be read all three to get the most out of the story since each book gets better.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Call to Honor: An Anthology (A Team Poseidon Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Tawny Weber Page; Review: Diego Torres led a hard life growing up and questioned his gang on no man left behind. He joins the Poseidon team to better himself and be the best. When a mission goes wrong, a team member is burned, another killed, so Diegos honor is tested. His career and reputation are on the line plus there is a traitor among them. Only one woman may have the answers and he wants answers. Harper MacLean is a smart devoted single mom to her son Nathan. She had a hard life growing up so she is set on bettering herself, besides being closed mouth about her past. A mysterious hot neighbor moved in next door but he is asking too many questions, though Harp is attracted to him. He believes whole-heartedly he was saved by the SEALS code of ethics then that is complicated by Harper. She is afraid to expose herself to Diego for him to see her ugly past and fear. Both are fearful of admitting to how deeply they've fallen in love with each other because of their pasts. I enjoyed reading about Diegos honor, what he felt, and what he thought was right. This book has plenty of twists and turns to keep your interest. All tied into one story you have loyalty, deceit, revenge, and mistrust. There was one part on the plane flying back to her home that I said, Really????? Who would do that? A stand-alone book, though part of a series, I would recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pushing Brilliance (Kyle Achilles); Author: Visit Amazon's Tim Tigner Page; Review: Having come home to join in a celebration recognizing his father, former Olympian spy/CIA operative Kyle Achilles is suddenly framed for the murder of his dad and brother. The other prime suspect is Katya, a beautiful Russian mathematician who just happened to be engaged to his brother. Kyle is in prison when Katya visits him saying she thinks someone is following her and maybe out to kill her. He escapes prison and they have no choice but to go on the run since he is a fugitive and they have no clue what this is all about. Assassins are chasing them as they try to figure out who killed their loved ones, why they were killed, and more about the product Brillyanc which seems to be the connection. What they uncover is a conspiracy developed in Moscow to bring down the White House and the Kremlin. Will they make it in time because time is running out to prove Kyles innocence? I found the book very intriguing, full of action, with a Russian threat. There were a couple things I thought were unbelievable and I felt not enough was mentioned about the toxic flea which I had forgotten about until the end. Achilles and Katya had an underlying romance developing but with the plot quite intense and surprises throughout you couldn't put the book down. Highly recommend so I am moving on to the next book The Lies of Spies.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Lies Of Spies (Kyle Achilles); Author: Visit Amazon's Tim Tigner Page; Review: Former CIA agent Kyle Achilles still wants answers why the Russians killed his parents and brother, Collin, then framed him for their murders. He accepts the US Presidents secret mission to eliminate the Russian President but only a couple people know of this secret mission. The Russian President picks suitable players to pull off the most devastating coup to take down the American economy. Achilles is now on the run with Collins finance, Katya, who is brave, skillful, and beautiful. They join forces with Russians Max and Zoya to derail the Sunrise/Sunset operations because the free world needs Achilles to succeed. This story involved lies, perceptions, and false media reporting in the game of espionage and deceit. A complex plot, with no foul language, will keep you turning each page and guessing until the end. The technology and geopolitical events were well developed. I liked the prior book Pushing Brilliance better only because the story flowed from chapter to chapter. In this book, you read what spies Achilles and Max were doing then it jumped to how their companions Katya and Zoya were helping which is the only reason for 4 stars. Still would be a recommendation though!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ultimate Surrender; Author: Lydia Rowan; Review: Lucian and his brother, Damien Silver, have a defense company that is struggling. They had no choice but to bring on investors. Damien made Lucian CEO and hired Cassandra Portersen, into Silver Industries, as the liaison between stockholders holding Lucian responsible for a drop in earnings and Lucian.

Still they are professionals and have to work together. Cassandra is stocked and that is when a scared Cassandra runs straight for Lucian giving into what she has wanted for a long time. Lucian starts to let his guard down when Cassandra is kidnapped and his team learns how much danger she is actually in. Can he save the woman he realizes he cannot live without by doing what needs to be done and not let emotions interfere? Lots of action, sex, and suspense on whom and why Cassandra was stocked then who and why she was kidnapped. How did you think the kidnapper would be taken? Mostly a stand-alone but a slight cliffhanger leading into the follow-on book. Personally I liked the story so I would recommend it! Looked at the next book in the series but it costs. Bummer!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Everything We Keep: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Kerry Lonsdale Page; Review: Madly in love with her childhood sweetheart that grew up with her, why did James Donato make that business trip to Mexico right before the wedding?

As Aimee delves deeper into James disappearance so she can move on, she uncovers secrets. She needs to travel to Mexico for answers and Ian accompanies her because he also is looking for something. It is in Mexico Aimee realizes the truth, her feelings for Ian, and what life with James was really about. Great story where all may not seem to be as it appears. There are various twists, especially towards the end. The one thing I couldn't grasp is James convincing Aimee to keep quiet about her being raped. Someone madly in love with another person wouldnt be so calm about something like that. Still I would recommend the book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: All the Breaking Waves: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Kerry Lonsdale Page; Review: Molly Brown had a special gift, as did her grandmother and mother, but her father made her think it was evil.

After Cassie has horrifying visions which cause nightmares, Molly is forced to return home. Deep down secrets surface. Letting go of Mollys past and finding forgiveness is all part of whether she will find peace, is able to reunite with the man she has always loved, and accepts their special gift.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Everything We Left Behind: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Kerry Lonsdale Page; Review: In the prior book in the series, James Donato chased his brother Phil, to Mexico, just before James was to marry. He was presumed dead. This book picks up 6-1/2 years later where James has now surfaced in Mexico, as artist Carlos Dominguez but he remembers nothing of his prior life. Now a widower with two sons, his sister-in-law Natalya Hayes is trying to help him keep his life together. Suddenly the love of his life, Aimee Tierney, visits Mexico and she proceeds to tell him about his prior life. Aimee has married and has a child of her own so its obvious she has moved on. Though Phil is scheduled to be released from prison, he and his sons return to CA. Did James witness something in Mexico and can he keep the ones he loves safe? Natalya is the only person he can trust as he begins to unravel his identify and life. The story itself was intriguing but I found the book somewhat confusing. Each chapter jumps from the past to the present alternating between the two identities of James and Carlos. I did realize the timeline was getting closer and closer. Mixed feelings about the book but some people don't mind the jumping back and forth.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: In Too Deep (Due South: A Sexy Contemporary Romance) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Tracey Alvarez Page; Review: Piper Harland grew up on Stewart Island as one of the guys being feisty and determined.

Is West coming to regret letting Piper go but actually in love with her? Can Pipe confront her darkest secrets of her past and move forward with the person that crushed her heart? Are they able to forgive and get past their fears? Good book and what I liked most was you didn't learn the full details of the past until the end.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cora's Heart; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachael Herron Page; Review: This story takes places in the small coastal California town of Cypress Hollow. Cora Sylvan grew up with Logan and Mac, who were cousins. She married Logan, though her heart always belonged to Mac. Logan died and she is struggling to make ends meet. Keeping up with the animals she loves and chores of her farm are even a struggle. Hurt too many times in life growing up and by men, Cora became strong, independent, and able to handle circumstances. Can you believe she had a what if book detailing actions needed for various circumstances including an earthquake? To make matters worse, Mac is back in town and she is mad that he never came home when Logan needed him and died. Mac has returned to convince his mother Louisa, Aunt Valentine, and Cora to sell their land to his boss. This deal would help all of them financially! How can Cora sell her only real home? She has also become friends with Olivia, the young daughter of a former classmate, at the riding stables. It is then that a big secret emerges that could be life changing. Overall I personally thought the story was slow, in the fact that Cora wanted Mac then she would push him away throughout the entire book. Even Mac seemed to go back and forth about Cora. Each chapter had a quote about knitting which was important to Cora but I could have cared less. I thought Cora was extremely stubborn even when friends offered to help. Cant authors have editors to proof-read their work? My preference is a stand-alone book and it only had two sex scenes. Due to the slowness and constant tug back and forth between the two main characters, I only gave it 4 stars though true love will prevail. Cora did have a giving heart no matter what!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Next of Kin (Buddy Lock Thrillers); Author: Visit Amazon's James Tucker Page; Review: On a night of celebration, 10 year old Ben Brook finds his family in danger so he runs for his life.

Pursuing the case, Buddy discovers dark secrets pertaining to their company Brook Instruments, as well as having a gut feeling it has something to do about the expensive paintings each family has in their home. As the families in the clan dwindle down by this ruthless killer, Buddy runs into obstacles to solve the case. Will the killer make a mistake so Buddy can get closer to keeping Ben safe and solving the murders? This new authors book grabbed my interest from the start and held it throughout! Descriptions of the murders were gruesome but they made you sense the hate the killer had. You even got some history behind the hatred. With all the twists and suspense, I felt who the book led me to believe was the killer was not the killer. The ending surprised me and left me wanting to start the next book. Will the court truly do what is in the best interest of the child? Anyone have a timeframe for his next book?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: For Your Own Protection; Author: Visit Amazon's Paul Pilkington Page; Review: Matt is going through difficult times with things falling apart with his family and not sure he wants to continue his current career in a trading company. While on a leave from work, his sister talks him into teaching ex-offenders at night. He is enjoying this and has taken pride in one student especially. The most important person in his life now is his son. Sensing his girlfriend is stalking him leaves him questioning why. A mysterious stranger informs him his girlfriend is not who he thinks she is. After a scare at the pool when his son disappears, Matt is now convinced things are terribly wrong. Then you have a woman who just lost her fianc in a hit and run accident. After someone ransacked her apartment looking for something, she suddenly has an accident herself. It turns out she was the girlfriend of one of Matts co-workers at the trading company. Though innocent, Matt is drug into drugs, organized crime, and lies leaving him not trusting anyone he once trusted. Will all this bring Matt down or will he get the answers he is looking for? At first, I kept wondering why there were two different suspense stories and what one had to do with the other. Later in the book when the two stories merged, things start to fall in place and it made sense. The story was full of twists and turns throughout. You see different walks of life, as well as different sides of London. I would recommend the book but admit I had mixed emotions about the ending.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Midnight Blue; Author: Visit Amazon's L.J. Shen Page; Review: Rock star Alex Winslow became big in his early twenties and along with that came money. His life began spiraling downward due to alcohol, drugs, and a lost love. He was obnoxious expecting people to give him what he wanted when he wanted it, arrogant knowing money could buy anything, and revengeful. A Letters from the Dead tour was scheduled so a babysitter was needed to keep him sober, prevent him from falling back into bad vices, and hopefully he could produce an album that would hit the charts big making a comeback for Alex. Alex does not believe he needs a babysitter so sets his mind to run the person off. Hiding all his pain and keeping people at bay, he is hard to like! Indigo (Indie) Bellamy lost her parents in a hit and run accident leaving her older brother to give up his potential life to care for them. Because her brother was angry and bitter inside, he became different so his life started to spiral downward taking his wife, child, and Indie with him. Being a fighter, super strong, able to speak her mind, and desperately needing money to help her family, she now becomes the babysitter to Alex Winslow. Indie can tolerate Alexs harassment and bullying which makes her life impossible but it is only for 3 months! She is not totally blind to his pain but seems to make excuses for him. Like no one else, Indie has a way of handling Alex. Can she finish the job and still have her heart intact? Alex knows he will break Indies heart and Indie knows her heart will be broken. I personally thought Alex was a jerk and never would I want to be an open book to the public not able to live my own life. Alex is complex but, until you can totally understand him to see the real Alex, you may end up starting to like him. Indie fights for those she loves but Indie and Alex are broken so they can understand each other when honest with each other. The heartbreaking story is raw having struggles, anguish, emotions, as well as love. There are a couple twists toward the end that caught me by surprise. Being a sensitive individual, I cried in one part and felt the anger in other parts. My reason for the four stars was due to the foul language throughout the book and the explicit sex throughout was a bit much too.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Noble Man (Noble Man Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's William Miller Page; Review: Jake Noble was a former Green Beret and CIA operative left hung out to dry after an operation went bad. Trying to survive on his boat and meet the financial needs of his mother receiving chemo, the CIA offers him $150,000 to find a missing girl. He has no choice but to accept the assignment. It is not just any kidnapped girl either. She is the diabetic daughter of a wealthy diplomat. Things get complicated when the missing girls best friend wants to tag along to find her best friend. He could use her help but that is not how an operative works. Then there are twists about the madam and the diplomat. Jake is a strong operative set to accomplish his mission. This book will grab you at the start and keep your interest to the end. It is action packed with suspense but the combat scenes are violent. Though Jake is an assassin, he has a heart and morals which makes him likeable. The book is somewhat of a stand-alone but there is one question you may ask yourself that may lead into the follow-on book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Noble Vengeance (Jake Noble Series); Author: Visit Amazon's William Miller Page; Review: Jake Nobles former colleague and friend goes missing so what does he do? Jumps on a plane and heads to Mexico for revenge since this guy saved his life once. There he rescues a mysterious lady that could be the key, receives a key in the mail, as well as learns what his colleague/friend was doing in Mexico. The lady is out for revenge also, against a ruthless drug lord. On their quest for justice, they discover someone in DC does not want them to succeed. Can they expose the deadly secret? This is very fast paced plus it has a good plot between what Jake is doing in Mexico and corrupt politics that could occur without the publics knowledge. Better spelling and grammar have something to be desired. No one can be that well trained nor have the luck he does. Still a good gripping read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Noble Intent (Jake Noble Series); Author: Visit Amazon's William Miller Page; Review: Jake Noble, former Green Beret and CIA, gets a visit from the new CIA Director. He is asked to track down Samantha Gunn, who killed another agent, is on the run with someone the CIA wants brought in, and created a soft spot in Jakes heart. How can he turn down the request? Off he goes to France and, by the time he lands, he is now the one being hunted. Soon Jake discovers the CIA is not the only one looking for Sam so he must find her first. In order to clear Sams name because her heart was in the right place, Jake and Sam must out-smart out-wit a murderous criminal organization, as well as corrupt CIA agents. There will be shootouts, car chases, and narrow escapes. Jake is good at working out a problem but it always involves creating a new problem. He is not your typical action hero due to his devotion to his mother with cancer since he seems to have a soft-side. Well worth the read if you like an action-packed complex storyline throughout the book which gets explicit at times. The ending surprised me though.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stone Rules: A Stone Brothers novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Samantha Christy Page; Review: Can you imagine a mother willing to sell her child to men that would progress her own career? Charlie finally leaves but realizes the only way to have a roof over her head and food is to do exactly what her mother made her do. She returns to NYC when her mother dies determined to put her past behind her, until she finds her mothers diary. Seeking revenge, Charlie solicits the services of PI Ethan Stone. Immediately that attraction is there which they both fight. Ethan constantly is throwing rules at her to keep her at a distance. Will that work? It is on again off again but they manage to persevere forward. Does Charlie get her revenge or does she gain insight to forgiveness? At the beginning of the book, I asked myself if I really wanted to read it. There are sensitive issues, some foul language, and very explicit sex. Further into the book I found myself sorry for what Charlies mother had done to scar her life. Ethan Stone would be your ideal love that accepted you for who you are, your best friend, and you would know his love for you by his constant doting. Charlie is definitely a strong woman to have overcome her past for moving forward towards happiness, with the help and understanding of Ethan. Though each has different circumstances of their past holding them back from finding love, this is a true love story. I loved the special family bond between Piper Mitchell, her sisters, and their husbands! This is a stand-alone book but I want to move on to book two in the series of three which you will too.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Stone Promises: A Stone Brothers Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Samantha Christy Page; Review: Your love should be your best friend and Chad and Mallory (Mal) were since childhood. Chad then was discovered as a star and moved away. Like many stars, all the fame, glory, and money went to his head (Hollywood name Thad) and he got into drugs. Their paths accidentally cross so now they cant get each other out of their heads. It is then that Chad declares he has been clean for a few years and is willing to do everything and anything to have Mallory in his life fulltime. They start out slow to work at reviving their trust and commitment to each other. Each shows their maturity by being able to forgive. There were many internal emotional feelings, along with laughs. Chads family is so accepting of Mallory that you feel privileged to be a part of them. However, can they overcome time apart, job demands, and leading ladies he has been involved with? I personally couldn't be married to someone like Chad because of ALL the constant hassles. This is an adult love story without much of a plot, the sex scenes were not over the top, but I did wonder how they worked it out those seven years. It would have been nice to have included more about Mallorys career rather than all about Chads career. However, wouldnt it be great to know who you were always meant to be with and that happen? Believe I liked this book better than the first book in the series but each can be read as a stand-alone book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Retractable USB Data Cable , Mini 4-Pin 2.0; Brand: Generic; Review: I use my Ipod at the office and at home and soon grew tired of carrying the USB/charging cord back and forth so I ordered this Retractable USB Cable. It seemed like a bargain, but it was defective. I attached it to the same Ipod and same computer that I use with the other cord. It simply did not make the connection. I exchanged it for my regular cord and there was no problem connecting. I did this twice, on two different computer and this flexible cord did not work. Returns are easy with Amazon so I returned it for a refund and bought a slightly more expensive cord.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-On Light (Kindle Version) Black; Brand: Mighty Bright; Review: The Might Bright XtraFlex2 Clip-on light is much too bulky for the Kindle. The clamp covers part of the screen if you place it most conveniently at the top and in the middle. I wonder if the constant pressure on the screen could damage the Kindle. Also, the light produces a most annoying reflection in the Kindle screen so you must place it at an angle to avoid the reflection when reading. I find it impossible to ignore the reflection. It may be OK for books that are larger than the Kindle and that do not produce the same reflection, but using it with the Kindle is a real nuisance. I rarely return purchases, but I am sending this one back.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: BTC 6100C 86-Key USB Ultra Slim Mini & Compact MultiMedia Keyboard without Numeric Keypad (Silver/Black); Brand: BTC; Review: I wanted a smaller keyboard to save deskspace. This one works perfectly and the price is right. After using it for a few days I ordered a second for home use. I find one shortcoming common to all keyboards without a separate number pad. Some of the symbols I use most often, including the "*" and the "+" require the use of the "shift" key in combination with the "*/8" key or the "+/=" key to insert a "+" or a "*". This restriction makes it less convenient than a keyboard where you can insert these symbols by depressing a single key. I wonder if it is possible to program one of the F1-F12 keys to insert a "+" and a "*" with a single keystroke?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Etymotic Research ER23-HF2-BLACK Earphones/Headset--Black; Brand: Etymotic Research; Review: I give these ear buds high marks in all categories, even without the custom sleeves. They are especially good at shutting out external sounds on planes and in other noisy settings. No bulk and no batteries to worry about. I also own the Bose Quietcomfort15 noise cancelling headphones. All I can say is "Bose eat your heart out." Etymotics made an arrangement for optional custom sleeves through ACS and I find this addition well worth the extra $100. You must go to a "hearing" store, have molds made for your ears, and wait several weeks before they are delivered. In my case, they seemed to have misplaced them because after about 6 weeks later I called and they said they had mailed them much earlier. My ear buds arrived two weeks later, about 2 months after the fitting. They work beautifully -- high quality sound and very comfortable. I paid $10 extra to select the color of my choice. I wanted a bright color so I would not lose them so readily.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Ade Advanced Optics Tactical Green Laser Sight with 200 lm LED Flashlight & Built in RIS Rail Mounts; Brand: Ade Advanced Optics; Review: Well made with an aluminum housing. The quick detach is intuitive but judging from other reviews could be better explained in the instructions. If you intend to remove and install frequently then adjust the screw for minimum clearance and go. There will be a tiny amount of movement felt when installed but not enough to affect close range accuracy which is what a laser is for. If you intend to leave it attached then snug the screw down with a dime and you are good to go. Adjustments are easy to make but you need to understand lasers. Windage and elevation do not equate exactly as with a scope sight. Best to adjust the laser to witness with already sighted in Iron sights. The laser is easily visible in bright sunlight even against a light background at normal combat ranges. So far it holds zero nicely and I have it mounted on the side rail of a CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1. All switches have a nice positive feel to them. The light is really bright with a wide throw just what I wanted. This sight is not really for compact size handguns and is best on full size pistols and carbines. That is just my opinion. I am well satisfied with the quality particularly at the attractive price.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Ade Advanced Optics Ultra Compact Pistol Class 3R Green Laser Gun Sight with Quick Release Weaver Mount, Black; Brand: Ade Advanced Optics; Review: For the price a nice piece of equipment. Fits my M&P and Glock rails snugly. Easy to adjust once the end cap is removed. Requires strong hands the first time. After sighting in don't reinstall so tight. Instructions are not bad but not the best. If you understand that most lasers don't adjust the way scopes do you'll be OK. Also that it is important that the two lines on the adjustment face are as close to plumb and level respectively as possible when the unit is screwed down. The laser is bright and works well outdoors at close range. That is the most you can expect from a laser currently. Taking it off and putting it back on several times and it maintained it's 15yd zero. Seems to be solidly constructed and stands up well to 9mm recoil which is all I shoot. The on off switch is not ambidextrous as advertised. It pushes on from the right and off from the left. It is not as small as it first appears and is at home on full size pistols such as the M&P full size and pro and the Glock 17. About as small as it will fit is the Glock 19 and it sticks out a bit in front of the gun. It will most definitely not work on the likes of the M&P compact kel tec PF9 etc.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published: How to Write It, Sell It, and Market It . .; Author: Visit Amazon's Arielle Eckstut Page; Review: There is a great deal of information here from authors who know the business, but some of the advice is useless on a practical level. The authors hold up as models networking and marketing activities out of reach by anyone who has to make a living or wants to write again, and are in fact more suitable for entire marketing departments. I commend this book to publishers.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Kitchen Confidential Updated Edition: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (P.S.); Author: Visit Amazon's Anthony Bourdain Page; Review: How the high-end restaurant world really works. The good news is you will still want to eat out, and be better equipped to do it well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mulholland Dive: Three Stories; Author: Michael Connelly; Review: Not up this writer's standard. Surprise isn't very surprising. Maybe short form not good for Connelly.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Chains of Command (Frontlines); Author: Visit Amazon's Marko Kloos Page; Review: Military science fiction should provide battle scenes that are exciting, authentic and true to the world the writer has created. Kloos delivers on all counts from the first brutal battle in a dystopian North American economic ghetto in the first book to the showdown in an Eden-like setting in book four (Chains of Command). Series should be read in order of writing for maximum impact.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: On War and Politics: The Battlefield Inside Washington's Beltway; Author: Visit Amazon's Arnold L. Punaro Page; Review: I should disclose that I worked for Arnold Punaro for the better part of a decade, a fact suggesting possible bias. But does working for this tough ex-Marine predispose you to a favorable or unfavorable read of his memoir? In my case, favorable, so Ill try to compensate. The truth is, Punaro is one of those rare individuals who looks better the closer you look, and he is revealed in this candid, insightful volume. He has been an eyewitness to parts of history seldom seen by those outside Congress and the Pentagon. This is how stuff really works and he was in the middle of it. He reports on a time when intelligence, integrity and a dedication to the national interest rather than partisan interests were the order of the day, and gives hope that day may come again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Vampire Lestat (Vampire Chronicles, Book II); Author: Visit Amazon's Anne Rice Page; Review: To use one of her go-to words, she is preternaturally talented.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Romeo's Rules (A Mike Romeo Thriller); Author: Visit Amazon's James Scott Bell Page; Review: Romeo is an engaging hero who wears his education on his sleeve but gets away with it. He's not a cop, or a PI; more of a knight righting wrongs. On the basis of this book, he may have a weakness for writing wrongs done to good-looking women. We'll see, because I certainly intend to keep reading this series. Good fun with a fresh take on the genre.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fields of Fire (Frontlines); Author: Visit Amazon's Marko Kloos Page; Review: Marko Klooss Frontline series just keeps getting better on the evidence offered by No. 5, Fields of Fire, just out. The battleground this time is Mars where beleaguered humans finally take the fight to the Lankies, the grotesquely huge, nearly unstoppable aliens bent on our destruction. Its a great ride. Kloos can command the readers unwavering attention whether his characters are holding off the imminent demise of the human species or conducting an excursion into domestic dysfunction. (Fans of Klooss heart-rate-boosting battle scenes should not worry. Very little domestic conflict and a whole lot of laying waste to Lankies.) The great, interplanetary battle produces the best outcome for readers: There is material for more installments.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Collapsing Empire (The Interdependency); Author: Visit Amazon's John Scalzi Page; Review: The short version is that Scalzi is a very talented, inventive, engaging and intelligent writer, and this work, like his others, reflects those qualities. Enjoy. The longer version is a little more nuanced. Unlike his earlier works, this book does not read like the first in a series, in which characters and situations reach resolution with room for more stories. This one reads as if it were one story being presented in serial form. Quite a different animal. And it may be that Scalzi is too good a writer for the good of his novels, if such a thing is possible. As a writer, he can make telling almost as good a showing, and boy, he does it a lot in this one. Unlike the six other Scalzi titles I have read, the characters in this one repeatedly stand and deliver expository speeches covering events that, if dramatized, might have been combined to make stirring, resolved novels on their own. What was his hurry?; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Hard Way (Jack Reacher, No. 10; Author: Visit Amazon's Lee Child Page; Review: Reacher seems more human here, being stumped, needing help, and getting it wrong. But of course he figures it out and wraps it up in a satisfying, cleansing burst of violence. Plot twists and interesting supporting players abound. Another great read from Child.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: In Death Ground (Starfire); Author: Visit Amazon's David Weber Page; Review: The first of the Starfire series, Crusade, was ok so I went on to this one, expecting more of the same. Boy, was I right -- more and more of the same. It has a beginning, a middle and I have to assume it has an end because I am not going to get there. This is strictly for fans of endless lists of orders of battle, endless and repetitive space battles and descriptions of bromances between members of different species. The authors are competent writers, delivering steady, consistent prose appropriate for the subject matter, but they seemed to have decided that the way to feed the fan base is to elongate the middle. If that's what you want, run don't walk to buy this one.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Points of Impact (Frontlines); Author: Visit Amazon's Marko Kloos Page; Review: I think Ive figured out how to review Marko Kloos. If he were a musician, Id say he was a virtuoso; his performances consistently superb. But even virtuosos can pick less than pleasing programs, and for me thats what hes done this time. Hes chosen to put his talents to what seems mostly a character study. After a decade of relentless, mostly losing battle, Andrew Grayson is war weary and Kloos plays this out over a good 60% of this short novel. Its a legitimate authors choice, but nothing comes of it except more talk after the limited but (as always) excellent, gritty battle scenes. And the Lankies. After finally showing some tactical ability in the battle for Mars, they sink back into being little more than plot devices, about which we hardly know more than their size, deafening death screams, and habit of simply smashing everything in their paths with brute force. Unless we can learn more about the Lankies, Andrew Graysons depression-generating fear of endless, losing war seems to foretell the future of this outstanding series.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Ka anapali Beach Club; City: Maui Hawaii; Review: This hotel is located actually closer to Kahana than it is to Ka'anapali. It is on a decent stretch of beach that is good as long as there isn't any kind of weather. We had multiple red flag warnings while we were there so the water was not safe for children to swim as there was a massive undertow and riptide. It really didn't pose too much of a problem for us though as my kids enjoy the pool as well. This resort is a Diamond Resorts timeshare/hotel. We stayed as a trade with our Disney property through Interval. While the room was spacious (bathroom is huge) and clean, this was not a fair trade IMO. This resort does not have washer/dryer units in each property and that is a real disappointment to me. I just don't understand why a timeshare wouldn't have that. That is one of the selling points of a Timeshare. Also, with baggage fees as they are these days, you want to be able to pack less and wash more. This would totally stop me from buying here. Also, there is not a full kitchen, just a kitchenette. No stove or oven. While that matters less to me than the lack of washer/dryer, it is still an issue. Timeshare people do like to know they have those amenities. Sometimes we like to buy a frozen pizza for the kids and that can't be done. The property is pink as other reviews have mentioned. It could be classed up a bit with another color. The lobby has potential as does the entire property. It just needs a facelift. The rooms are ok; some of the furniture is tired. The sofa sleeper was very worn and the mattress was not comfortable as you could feel the springs. The master bed was comfortable. Didn't like that we had to pay for internet, most timeshares offer internet free at this point. There was never a problem with getting pool chairs or cabanas if so desired. They could have used some music at the pool as well as servers for drinks and food. I really enjoy having a drink and relaxing at the pool and not having to walk to get it myself. I am on vacation....;) All in all, we enjoyed our stay. It is what you make of it. If I had a choice, I would definitely choose the Westin Ocean Villas over this property. We have stayed at both and the Westin is just nicer over all plus has the amenities that the KBC is missing.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Times Square; City: New York City New York; Review: We really enjoyed our stay at the HGI Times Square. This hotel couldn't have been in a better location. Truly central to all sights in NYC, tons of restaurants one block over on 9th street and over course, Times Square one block over the other way. Times Square has been cleaned up tons since I was there last and felt really safe walking there. The bathrooms weren't large and we were three people so that was a little lacking but other than that, we really enjoyed the hotel. It was clean and the staff were extremely friendly. They offered free Starbucks in the morning and it would have been nice to have that throughout the day. I will definitely stay at this property again next time I am in NYC!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Boulder; City: Boulder Colorado; Review: When you walk in, you think, "ok, this might not be half bad." The lobby is freshly refurbished and modern. Nice small cafe with pretty good food actually. The rooms are disappointing though. Very worn and desperately in need of a refurbishment. They were clean, however. Still when it looks old and feels old, it still feels dirty. All in all it was ok but nothing to write home about. Would probably look elsewhere next time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Stanley Hotel; City: Estes Park Colorado; Review: The Stanley is a beautiful, historic property that anyone visiting Estes Park should see. That being said, it is also not going to have the amenities that a room in that price range would command. The reason that it is so expensive it solely based on its reputation of being the Shining Hotel and because it can. There is no air conditioning, which I completely understand, but if you are there on a hot day, it will be uncomfortable. We were there on an unseasonably hot night and we were fairly miserable. We had a standard room and the beds were very comfortable but the bathroom was lacking. Again, I understand why; it is extremely hard to retrofit a property to the modern conveniences while still maintaining its historical and authentic feel. We also did the Ghost tour and while we never saw any ghosts or felt any sort of disturbance, it was entertaining and worth and hour and half of your time, even if only to learn about the history of the place. The kids also got a huge kick out of the constant 24 hour loop of The Shining on the TV. All in all, a beautiful place to visit once.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tivoli Lodge; City: Vail Colorado; Review: We really enjoyed The Tivoli Lodge and Vail. Tivoli has a GREAT location and you can easily walk to everything. The Lionshead Gondola is a little bit of a trek but still doable. We visited in June and got a great summer rate. Hotel is lovely, especially love the rich feeling of the rooms. They are clean and well kept. The two downfalls to this property are the elevator and lack of A/C (which was being installed while we were there). The elevator runs at a snails pace and is small and services the entire hotel so it gets backed up. It was extremely hot while we were in Vail and the lack of A/C was killer. We had a fan going and kept the door open as long as we could but it was hot all night. I just wish they would have been honest with us the first time we called down. They told us some BS story about how the A/C couldn't keep up because it was so hot but in reality, they were still installing the last 2 units for the hotel which we found out the next day. The beds are plush and really comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and hope to do so soon!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Place Santa Fe; City: Santa Fe New Mexico; Review: We stayed at the Hyatt Place Santa Fe for one night while traveling across country. It looks just like the Hyatt Place we have here so it was nice to see the consistency. Very clean, well appointed rooms. Nice cold AC during the heat wave we were experiencing. I would agree with another poster that the continental breakfast was very lacking.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SpringHill Suites Flagstaff; City: Flagstaff Arizona; Review: I have stayed at this property before and it has always been fine but this time, is probably my last time. The thing that I am most disappointed in was the fact that one of our pillow cases had makeup all over it as well as a long black hair (we are all blondes). It was late when we got to the room and noticed it. I was disgusted and threw the pillow on the floor, with the intention to tell management the next day. I put the Do Not Disturb in the door as I did not want the room made up the next day and came back to the room to find that the Do Not Disturb was missing from our door and the room had been made up. I was even more disgusted to find that the dirty pillow I had thrown on the floor was put back on the made up bed and it still had the same dirty pillow case on it so not only was the pillow initially dirty, but it was put back on the bed after it was on the dirty floor!!! That is disgusting and I'm sure it is in some sort of violation. Apart from the pillow incident, the rooms are needing a deep cleaning. The carpets are FILTHY and the walls are really beat up. Towel rods were missing and bad patch jobs were done. The couch was pretty soiled as well. Overall, not happy and I will be looking for a new hotel stay at the next time.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Little America Hotel Flagstaff; City: Flagstaff Arizona; Review: This is a very interesting place. Nestled in a wooded area right off the I-40, this hotel is a step back in time. I knew going in that this was going to be an interesting experience. I knew that it was furnished in retro decor and heard that it was clean. Both are true. Think about what your grandmother's house looked like in the 50's-70's and you will have a good idea of what I am talking about. Now normally, this is not my thing. I am the kind of person who enjoys modern decor and amenities. This was so over the top retro that I almost think it is done on purpose. The rooms were very clean. I was very pleasantly surprised to see this. They are nice and large, although I will say, that there are rooms that are larger that I didn't know about until my friend checked into one. I was a little upset to find out that she was paying the same rate as I was for a much better room. I did call the front desk to inquire why and they did not have a good answer for me. That left me with a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Also, our room was the ugliest out of all of our friends rooms. Each room seems to have a different color scheme and most were very cute, however, we were given a room with a vomit green color scheme that made the room look quite dark. No big deal really but I would have preferred blue or pink. The landscape around the hotel is beautiful and we'll maintained. I loved the quite of it and felt like I was truly in Flagstaff which is a little bit different than some of the other hotels in the area. We did have dinner one night in the restaurant and had a nice time. There was a large group of us and we thought the food was good, not great. We also utilized the bar and the server there that we had for both nights of our stay could use some more training. We did not have breakfast there so I can't speak to that. All in all, we had a very nice time at Little America and I will stay there again when in Flagstaff. Next time, I will ask for a larger room, without the vomit color tile and carpet.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Mall of America; City: Bloomington Minnesota; Review: We love staying at the Radisson Blu Mall of America whenever we are in town. It has an amazing location with a walkway right into the mall. The rooms are a decent size and my only complaint is the bathroom size. I do wish it were larger. It can be cramped and only one person can be in there at a time. To small a space to put things around the sink as well. The staff is always wonderful, friendly and helpful. We especially enjoy Cindy the concierge. She is very helpful on suggestions on things around town. We cant wait to visit again!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Los Angeles Universal City; City: Los Angeles California; Review: We stayed here for a trip to Universal Studios and enjoyed it. The lobby and some of the common areas look like they may be ready for a reno (even still it was not offensive) but the room was modern and clean. The staff was very friendly and willing to help. The proximity to the studios was wonderful and easy to walk and they had a nice shuttle as well. I would definitely stay here again when visiting.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Emerson Resort Spa; City: Mount Tremper New York; Review: We stayed at this resort for my best friend's wedding. It was the perfect time of year with the most perfect weather and the resort was the icing on the cake. We stayed in the lodge and it was very enjoyable. We had the whole lodge to ourselves for all the wedding guests and it was perfect. The rooms are super cute and comfortable and spacious. The bed was a bit too soft for my liking so my back hurt but that is just personal preference. The decor is cute and the room was clean. Staff was all very nice as well. They did a fantastic job for the wedding and it was lovely. The food was good as was the service. I was very pleased and I thank them for making my best friend's wedding perfect.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Stoke by Nayland Hotel Golf Spa; City: Leavenheath Babergh District Suffolk East Anglia Engla; Review: I recently visited with 3 friends and stayed 3 nights playing 4 rounds of golf. Both courses scenic and enjoyable - greens slow but true with slight preference for the Constable as it was in slightly better condition. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the service and food in the restaurant was, as always, excellent. A minor gripe was £30 for a buggy which is a bit steep. Thoroughly recommend SBN as a venue for a golf trip as it represents great value and I look forward to visiting again very soon; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Royal Country Inn; City: Dundee KwaZulu Natal; Review: Stayed here with friends for 2 nights to visit the Zulu battlefields. Having read a number of highly complimentary reviews I had high expectations but sadly they were not satisfied. 2 of our party took single rooms facing the street whilst 2 shared a family room. The single rooms were intolerably noisy as there was only single glazing which offered zero respite from a busy thoroughfare. The family room was at least quieter as it overlooked the rear. The bedroom interiors were well worn and more than a little grubby to be truthful. One pillow on my bed, albeit covered by a clean pillowcase, was so stained that it belonged in the dustbin. The bathroom facililities in all 3 rooms were very basic and in urgent need of modernisation to bring them up to an acceptable standard in my view. The toilet seat in my room was as bad as any I've ever encountered in a hotel. The rooms are without air conditioning and the ceiling fans simply did not work effectively. In addition to being uncomfortably hot and unable to open the windows for the noise one of the rooms had insufficient curtains to block out the light. Wifi did not work in the bedrooms. On the plus side the communal areas were extremely pleasant and packed with interesting Zulu memorabilia and there was a quirky bar/pub. The staff were all friendly and Nora looked after us well at dinner (we ate there 1 of our 2 nights and the fare was pleasant enough if unspectacular) There are also very pleasant courtyard areas in which to sit and relax plus a lovely reading room. Though the hotel is very reasonably priced and is ideally situated for battlefield tours I could not recommend it as a place to stay if you require bedroom and bathroom comforts. If you're prepared to forego these facilities for a few nights then this establishment is a fascinating step back in time; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: River Crossing B B; City: Cathkin Park Drakensberg Region KwaZulu Natal; Review: Can't recommend this location too highly. Superb value, breathtaking views, peaceful tranquility, perfectly well appointed chalets with good beds and cracking showers and a friendly welcome and attentive, informative service from Ian & Fiona. A shame it couldn't be for more than 3 days but reality beckons.........; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stoke by Nayland Hotel Golf Spa; City: Leavenheath Babergh District Suffolk East Anglia Engla; Review: We popped down at the last minute for an overnight stay and played the Constable on arrival and the Gainsborough the following morning. Both courses were, as usual very enjoyable although the Gainsborough was very dry and had just had the greens treated. I do think this ought to be indicated when booking to give people the option, if they wish, of playing all of their golf on the other course - we would probably still have elected to play a round on each course as they present different challenges and both have great holes but poor greens do impact the experience. Another slight disappointment was the revised tees - now white, green and yellow. We were told that the green tees were essentially the yellows previously and that was pretty much the case on the Constable course but not so on the Gainsborough - here they were significantly forward on both the 2nd & 18th holes and in an entirely different position on the 8th. As a result I would play from the white tee on all of these holes when playing again. As ever all the staff are extremely friendly, helpful & efficient. The food in the restaurant is excellent and bears comparison with any I've experienced in the UK and substantially better than at venues considerably more expensive than SBN. The rooms are comfortable with air conditioning and good mattresses. The shower is also perfectly adequate although it is over the bath. I look forward to visiting again for a few nights later in the summer.......; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kinlochewe Hotel; City: Kinlochewe Ross and Cromarty Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: No idea what the hotel or the food is like but the bar is great. Fine selection of well kept bitters, a vast array of single malts, a welcoming interior with a friendly waitress - my idea of heaven having just clambered down a hill. Enough said.............; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Marine Hotel; City: Hunstanton Norfolk East Anglia England; Review: At £80 per night (breakfast not included and not the greatest ingredients if you elect to stump up a further £7 for the full English & coffee in the bar) the room is perfectly adequate. Mine had a TV,functional wifi, a good shower and clean betting but the mattress had certainly seen better days. We were able to park in front which was very handy and the hotel is very centrally located. Whilst I wouldn't necessarily wish to put anyone off I'm not sure that I would return if in the area again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Maltings Hotel; City: Weybourne Holt Norfolk East Anglia England; Review: They've clearly just given up on this place - indeed in a conversation with one of the owners when checking out he said that the place will probably be demolished and replaced with new housing when he sells up. Ok it's cheap but even at £68 it's overpriced for the frankly awful room that I stayed in (thankfully for only a night) The sheets were clean but that's about as complimentary as it gets. The room was musty, the carpet worn and dirty looking, the shower poor, a small wall mounted TV that could only be viewed by sitting on a grotty little sofa that belonged in a skip and worst of all a mattress that had certainly seen better days. At least my room had a wifi connection which wasn't the case in all rooms. Downstairs (having walked through grotty corridors and surveyed the damp looking walls) there's a quaint bar and some quirky rooms stuffed full of clutter. Breakfast also wasn't at all bad and was served by an extremely friendly lady. My recommendation would be to avoid as the only decent thing about this place was that there was a good boozer serving tasty food within walking distance just down the road. There must be better alternatives even within this price bracket than this place.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Amendoeira Golf Resort; City: Alcantarilha Faro District Algarve; Review: We think the Faldo course is a superb track with a number of stunning holes and elevation changes. There's no doubt it's tough for high handicappers, such as myself, but it's eminently playable off the yellow tees. The O'Connor course is a much gentler experience but still testing enough. The accommodation is first rate and very well appointed. My only slight criticism would be a failure to supply a few basic essentials - a dishcloth, a few dishwasher tablets etc. We hire a car so can't comment on the shuttle service but we prefer to dine at the restaurants in the nearby towns. I think the food and drink in the clubhouse is very expensive and the inclusive breakfast frankly not worth the bother. Far better to finish your golf and retire to your villa for a spot of lunch and a few beers to discuss where it all went wrong on the course........ Also great that you can safely leave your clubs for overnight storage and turn up for your round with your clubs loaded on the buggy. Practice facilities (driving range, putting green and chipping area) are all well appointed. The courses are busy and rounds are by no means fast but we have not experienced the horror stories mentioned in some reviews on any of our 8 rounds over 2 trips Thoroughly recommended; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ukutula Lodge; City: Brits Madibeng North West Province; Review: Everything about this set up was spot on. The accommodation was good, the staff could not have been more helpful and the walk with lions was simply superb. If you’re in Jo’burg or Sun City a visit is highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

I was shocked to see it still available. It is a duplicate of the one I still have and was going to throw away. I realized that the brass fitting on the end with the glass valve is removable and could be put on a new piece of tubing. I should have done that myself. However, I have two garages and will go to the hardware store and buy some fresh tubing so that I have the siphon in both places. I damn good product.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Actron CP7612 Battery Load Tester; Brand: Sunpro; Review: This meter does exactly what it says it will do. It puts a heavy load on the battery and measures voltage. A bad battery will show a low voltage when under load. You can tell it is a heavy load too because the heating element gets hot and glows. It more or less proves the battery is going to start your car if it can show 12 volts under heavy load. BTW it is larger than what appears in the picture.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: JDM ASTAR 800 lumens Extremely Bright Error Free 921 912 PX Chipsets LED Bulbs For Backup Reverse; Brand: JDM ASTAR; Review: I am only giving four stars to this light because I had to fiddle with the sockets to make them work reliably. The contacts on the light appear to be slightly smaller in width than the incandescent bulbs. So, I cleaned the contacts and then bent them inwards to force better contact. They work fine now. These lights are very much brighter than the original incandescent bulbs. If you want bright lighting to back up, I strongly urge anyone to buy these lights. I could have added some width to the contacts on the light with solder, but I was afraid of damaging the lights. When I checked the bulbs for operating before inserting them into the plastic housing, these lights were absolutely blinding. I had to wait for my eyesight to return for a bit. That is the kind of power I wanted.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Automotive |

He would move the little red handle, and then come hug me and watch from a distance. Now it's our go to "distraction" toy. Easy to assemble (I did it with the baby hanging all over me) and neat concept.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fisher-Price Laugh & Learning Workbench; Brand: Fisher-Price; Review: It's hard to know how the baby will like the toys you get him. I bought this for our 11 month old and he really has taken a shine to it. He loves the hammer (which comes with it's own little rattle) and he loves to beat on the "nails." It's a cute concept and keeps his attention longer than most of his toys....and he always comes back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Forum Novelties Glitter Tiara (Bride to Be); Brand: Forum Novelties; Review: I bought this for my friend (bride to be) and she wouldn't wear it because it hurt her head. As a dancer and performer, she has had to put up with a bunch of different props and costumes so I don't think she was being a wimp-it just dug into her skin. Very disappointing. Really too bad since it is such a cute crown.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Melissa & Doug Stamp-a-Scene Wooden Stamp Set: Fairy Garden, 20 Wooden Stamps, 5 Colored Pencils, and 2-Color Stamp Pad,; Brand: Melissa & Doug; Review: I love Melissa and Doug products and this is no exception. Got this for my 23 month old...okay he's two. He loves just taking the stamps out of the package and putting them back....there is a wide variety of stamps, I guess what is included is obvious but the quality is good and my husband and I both had to try our hand at stamping when our son allowed very cute!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fisher-Price Kick 'n Play Piano Gym; Brand: Fisher-Price; Review: I LOVE this. We bought this for our second son because we have another mat with arches that move but he seemed to need a change up and it doesn't really do much for him when the arches and music stop. He is always kicking his little legs (2 months old) so we decided to try this. He seems to really like it! I was worried maybe he wouldn't have the strength to press the keys but it's kit a problem. He is able to keep the music going, and his kicks slightly move the objects above his head and I think the clincher is the little mirror. My husband said it was a little challenging to put together but seemed a little embarrassed that I'm including that in this review...I'm guessing it was more of an annoyance than anything.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Toys_and_Games |

Title: Heritage Lace English Ivy 60-Inch Wide by 22-Inch Valance, White; Brand: Heritage Lace; Review: I had a narrow window over a bath tub. Needed to obscure visibility but not limit light. The valance was the perfect length. The lace was the perfect density when gathered on a rod. Hopefully the neighbors will appreciate the view into my bath being somewhat obscured!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Superior 100% Egyptian Cotton 650 Thread Count, King/California King 3-Piece Duvet Cover Set, Single Ply, Solid, Baby Blue; Brand: Superior; Review: My only disappointment was that there were no ties in the corners to secure the comforter. I fixed that by sewing my own in using bias tape. The color was perfect for my needs. The weight, feel and texture of the fabric was good and getting better with each wash. I've added a 4 inch memory foam topper to my mattress and now the cover is a bit too small to completely cover the mattress. Would have been wonderful if it was oversized. Purchased through Amazon. Item was as described.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Epica TM Accupro Digital Kitchen Scale 11 lbs Capacity,Stylish Black/Chrome-Electronic Food Scale; Brand: Epica; Review: This scale was my first kitchen scale and exceeded my expectations. It's size allows it to sit on the counter so as to be always available. It has all the variety of weight units needed. Most handy is its ability to reset with each addition: place plate and reset to zero, add 1st item and reset, add 2nd and reset, etc. Makes following serving size recommendations easy. Will also work when I make recipies that call for weight measurements.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pinzon Luxury Reversible Cotton Bath Mat - 21 x 34 inch, Platinum; Brand: Pinzon by Amazon; Review: It fit beside our large tub and shower very well. It's heavy enough to not wrinkle or move and become a trip hazard. I took a star away because it's not quite pure white.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SureFit Twill Supreme Universal - Chair Slipcover - Merlot (SF35077); Brand: Surefit; Review: It does not and will never look tight and smooth like the picture---color was darker than the picture, not as much yellow. I like the actual color better. It is very wrinkled out of the package. I washed and dried it and put it on without ironing---none needed!!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: OXO 1245380 Not Available Good Grips 4-Piece Mini Measuring Beaker Set, Clear; Brand: OXO; Review: I also found the "shot glass" style measures to be imprecise. They can be stacked for storage. I would recommend hand washing for longer life.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shark Rotator Lift-Away Professional Upright Vacuum (NV502); Brand: SharkNinja; Review: I love how this vacuum cleans----love how easily all the parts snap together---love the lift away versatility so it can be used as a canister---love the variety of attachments---love the adjustability of the suction-----and, again, love how it cleans for less than half the price of the highly touted ones. (Be aware that in the canister mode, it is used with the wand and hard floor attachment which does not work well on carpet.) However, it's heavy!!!! Due to it's snap apart design, the motor weight is carried in the handle in standard mode, rather than on resting on the beater bar like my older bagged vacuum. I have also found it to be somewhat difficult and awkward to push and to pull back, particularly when going against the nap of the carpet. I kept my old Riccar Supralite for quick cleanings. I wish someone would invent a vacuum that's light, quiet, and cleans well for me and my Medicare eligible peers.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A&F Rod Decor - Pair of Wall Bracket for 3/4 inch Rod - Antique Brass; Brand: A&F Rod Decor; Review: Item seems a good quality; however I could not use them. I wanted them for a DIY project using 3/4 in electrical conduit for rods. Contrary to another reviewer, they are much too small. We discussed opening the holders so the rod would go in but was concerned they would be too shallow to adequately hold the rods and may be weakened. This was not a product fulfilled by Amazon with free shipping. Company approved a return but would not reimburse shipping. When I checked on price of shipping back, I would come out with a return of $3.00 on the purchase price. I will donate to Habitat for Humanity ReStore.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: LUCID 2 Inch Ventilated Memory Foam Mattress Topper - 3 Year Warranty - Full; Brand: LUCID; Review: These are wonderful. The 2 inch topper gives just enough softness to make my cheap mattresses guest room worthy but does not add depth that would require special sheets. My 10 year old grandson said they were "super comfy." They also do not appear to retain body indentations.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: OXO 1056988 Good Grips 3-Piece Angled Measuring Cup Set, Black; Brand: OXO; Review: I love the ability to measure and view the amount looking down into the measuring cup. My previous OXO cups developed a crack at the center of the bottom after a few years. I am now hand washing them for the most part rather than putting them in the dishwasher. I hope that extends their life.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wedge Bolster, Firm; Brand: SleepBetter; Review: The bolsters are firm and just the right size for 2 to go across the back of a twin bed. I do use pillows as well to provide plush but the firmness of the bolsters makes the pillows sufficient for leaning back on the daybed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hamilton Beach 49980A Coffee Maker, Single Serve, Black/Stainless Steel; Brand: Hamilton Beach; Review: I wish-listed this item more than 2 years ago. It appeared to be a good combination of the two separate pots that I used. I was just waiting until one or both died. Then I had the opportunity to use one at a vacation rental and that sealed the deal. After doing comparison review research on similar models. I ordered one as soon as I got home. I appreciate the functionality of it and it makes coffee as good as or better than any traditional drip maker. I am an early riser and usually brew a single cup for my early morning cup(s) and set up the carafe to brew when my husband gets up and we start our day. I particularly like the separate water reservoirs. I can make a single cup without any involvement with the carafe side----no heating of the water, no heating of the warming plate, etc. It's a simple thing to remember to switch from single to carafe side for brewing. I have philosophical opposition to K cups so the ability to use regular coffee or filtered pods in the single side is great. Cleaning the provided "forever filter" of the single side is easy. I use both tall and regular mugs---the ability to raise the cup so there are no spatters is convenient. The location for filling the main reservoir is somewhat inconvenient as it has smallish openings and is completely in the back and behind the filter cover. I quickly learned to turn the pot to make it easier---I actually put small felt pads on the rubber feet so it would be easier to turn. Filling the single cup reservoir is easy. I was concerned when I started looking for this one that it had been replaced by the model that accepts K cups---but fortunately it was available. I purchased a lower priced, repackaged one through Amazon---it appeared to have never been used. I am very satisfied.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Down on Love - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Andrea Page; Review: This book started off ok but as you continue to read it has a lot of misses spelled word.. It's a little rush the characters were not developed well enough for me...; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Second to No One 2 - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Keysha Page; Review: Let me say that this book is nothing like the first book as far as being a great read.. It was a ok read just wish the author would have taken more time with this book & had it proof read. I will read part 3 since I'm already invested.. I hope Rayshawn & Jaz work through their problems..; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: So Gone 2 - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jennifer Luckett Page; Review: Let me for first start off saying this book took a long time to come out & I had to re-read part 1 to remember the characters.. Part 2 was nothing like part 1 will all the drama which was great.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Measure and the Truth (Dragonlance: Rise of Solamnia, Vol. 3) (v. 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Douglas Niles Page; Review: The whole trigoly had a great idea. Changing the "status quo" of the Solamic Knights. As the history develops showing all the sides of the conflict (the good guys, the sidekicks, the conspiracy and the villains) the author keeps th flow going of all the story lines, sometimes you can even face yourself cheering for the villains of the book, because they are charismac as well. I see that the book has a few (and minor) gliches, as inconstant time lapses between travels, endless supply of soldiers and gold/gems, and some overpowered use of spells, nothing that spoils the fun, but can bug the more careful readers. The volume 3 of the trilogy cover the downfall and redemption of the Emperor of the new Solaminia, as well it conclude the War agains Ankhar (a great vilain, by the way). The way it develops the end is a bit rushed and there is very little information of what happens in the near future. The trilogy is a good read, but this book isn't the strongest of the three. But the ending of the story; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dungeons & Dragons: Primal Power - Roleplaying Game Supplement; Author: Visit Amazon's Mike Mearls Page; Review: This is a awsome book, the best "Power book" released so far. Why it is so great? 1. All the classes have fun new builds, like the shoutting barbarian, and the swarm druid 2. Besides the new options for players there are a lot of roleplay tips and fluff to play around 3. The side bars are amazing 4. The art is on par with all other 4e books So, Primal Power is a book that any player must have, especialy those playing primal character, and is a nice source of info for the DM's as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: X-Men: Eve of Destruction; Author: Scott Lobdell; Review: Don't buy this book! Although it features stories from the Age of Apocalyse story line, it doesn't "begins here" as stated on the book description. It is mearly a collection of one-shots and stand alone issues but with almost nothing to do with the main story line. If you realy want to read the age of apocalyse, buy books 2, 3 and 4, not this so called "book 1".; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Transformers: All Hail Megatron, Vol. 3; Author: Visit Amazon's Shane McCarthy Page; Review: This books collects 5 one-shot stories, each one picturing on character/autobot. The stories are light headed and fun to read, but they have absolutely nothing to do with the "Hail Megatron" Storyline. If you want to head only the main story buy books 1, 2 and 4.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Transformers: All Hail Megatron Volume 4; Author: Simon Furman; Review: I felt like they robbed me with those "subpar" comics, dressed up as the continuation of the regular series. If you to read the "all hail megatron" just buy volumes 1 and 2!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Savage Worlds: Action Deck (GWG10003); Author: Pinnacle Entertainment Group; Review: The only critic on this product is that only the figure cards have pictures (awsome by the way) and the number cards are regular, showing the "suits'; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Desert of Athas - Dungeon Tiles: A 4th Edition D&D Accessory; Author: Visit Amazon's Wizards RPG Team Page; Review: Great mix of 3d elements (bridge, house, slave cart, stairs, etc.) and some previous unseen types of terrain, like water and sand / barrens. A must have for any dark sun campaign, and a great product for any DM.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Song Of Ice And Fire Roleplaying: Adventures In The Seven Kingdoms; Author: Visit Amazon's Robert J. Schwalb Page; Review: For you tired of playing "superhero mediavel fantasy rpg" (aka Dungeons and Dragons 4e) its the system for you! The setting is rich and awsome, because it's inspired on the great fantasy series by the "American Tolkien" - George R. R. Martin, the Songs of Ice and Fire. The system is fast, brutal and broad. The mechanics are simple and skill based. You play a combate the same way you play and argument or a siege. One of the main aspects of the game is that you can make your character begin as "someone" in the setting, not just the "avarege nameless joe" you usualy rolls. Give it a try, but for a better enjoyment of the game you should get the Campaign Setting as well. and rememeber: The Winter is comming; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Plemo 15 - 15.6 Inch Sleeve Laptop Case Lightweight Bag for MacBook Pro/ New MacBook/ Tablet; Brand: Plemo; Review: This product was exactly what I was looking for. It fit my 15.6 inch laptop perfectly - like a glove so I could easily slip it into my carry-on bag if desired. I also wanted it to have handles for easy carrying. The handles also retract out of the way inside pockets on each side of the bag - an added bonus. The pockets are also large enough to carry small items - you could even fit the AC adaptor assembly - although it get's pretty tight.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Toshiba Satellite S50-ABT3N22 15.6" Quad Edition Windows 7 PRO Laptop PC (S55 with Intel Core; Brand: Toshiba; Review: Being primarily a business user, it was important to have Windows 7 Professional.

Title: Weston 78-0201-W Dehydrator Netting Roll, 13.5" x 5.3'; Brand: Weston; Review: Works well, cleans easily, but you do have to do a bit of work to get it to lay flat. I tried reverse rolling, ironing, etc, each way helped to make it flatter, but it was still an extra step that can be skipped if you buy a flat pack. I prefer the longer length, but for speed nothing like a mat that lays flat right from the pack.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Plastic Funnel with Strainer 8"; Brand: Learn To Brew LLC; Review: I am happy with this funnel. It is large enough to be useful and I don't make a mess. The strainer mesh is very fine, but it pops out easily so if I expect a lot of debris I can line the funnel with cheese cloth or another straining material to get the job done. Easy to use and easy to clean.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Noa Store Knife Sharpener Professional Kitchen Sharpening System Fix-angle with 4 Stone III; Brand: Noa Store; Review: Not a highly machined quality product, but it gets the job done. After watching a few online video from different sources and practicing on a few blade the setup became easier and my results got better. For an inexpensive mass produced kit it does very well as long as you are willing to take the time required to learn how to use it. Overall I like it and am willing to give up some quality to save a buck since this is from home, shop, and outdoor use. I did buy some other stones, from Chosera and Edge Pro, they do make a difference.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Keurig K250 Single Serve, K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker with Strength Control, Sandy Pearl; Brand: Keurig; Review: Cute (my wife's description) and effective coffee maker. It cleans up easy, you can dump the water if not in use for a while and it makes a good cup of coffee. It has more options than the original Keurig and that has made everyone in the house happy.

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Campanile Paris Est Porte De Bagnolet; City: Bagnolet Seine Saint Denis Ile de France; Review: The hotel is fairly large and located near the Peripherique and the A3 motorway just outside the Paris city limits, at the Porte de Bagnolet, the eastern entrance to Paris. This means that the hotel is easily accessible for travelers who arrive by car or coach (the Eurolines bus station is nearby, as well as the bus link 351 to CDG airport). The hotel is built on top of a shopping mall and a giant Auchan supermarket (comes in handy for some purchases). The surroundings of the hotel look a bit grim with its office towers, motorways and bus station, but in reality I was little affected by this, as the Gallieni metro station is just below the hotel, which means that you are in downtown Paris in just over 15 minutes. The M3 metro line also has many connections with the other metro lines of the Paris metro system. The hotel room was okay, it was somewhat larger than other hotel rooms in Paris I have stayed in on my previous visits to Paris. There is no noise audible from the motorways. The bedding, a box spring, was also rather good. The breakfast is mediocre, as in many French hotels, with just some yoghurt, croissants, baguettes, marmelade, ham, cheese and some fruits. WiFi is also available in the room and free, but you will have to enter the access details multiple times during your stay. A downside is the lack of international TV channels, like CNN or BBC World News. All in all, it is a very good hotel for budget conscious, bean-counter type travellers who prefer easy accessibility. It is probably less suitable if you are on a romantic outing with your partner to the city of lights and love.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Adagio Marseille Prado Plage; City: Marseille Bouches du Rhone Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: This aparthotel is located near the seaside in a relatively prosperous area of Marseille, close to the main beaches of Marseille. The hotel is okay, although it could need some refurbishing here and there. All the basic amenities are there, including a pool, which I used only briefly. There are a couple of eateries/restaurants in the neighbourhood, as well as a large Casino supermarket. The bus connection to the city-centre of Marseille is also nearby and the bus will take you along a magnificent coastline to the city-centre of Marseille in about 15-20 minutes. I'd say the place is okay if you want to combine a city trip and a beach holiday.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Budget Inn; City: Flagstaff Arizona; Review: I stayed at the Budget Inn during my trip to Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. It is a traditional motel, no-frills, clean, and was ideal for visiting Flagstaff. Downtown Flagstaff, with its restaurants, is not too far away (5-10 minutes walk). I had breakfast at the diner next to the motel, which had a nice Route 66 feel and touch.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Stage Stop Inn; City: Patagonia Arizona; Review: This is a nice family-run hotel, with welcoming hosts, which I visited during my Arizona trip. There was some remodeling going on in the hotel when I arrived, but the room was fairly good. I also dined at the restaurant adjacent to the hotel, because nothing much else was available in Patagonia.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Budget Flensburg City; City: Flensburg Schleswig Holstein; Review: I stayed in this hotel for more than one week for a business occasion. The hotel is located above a cinema, right next to bus station of Flensburg, in the city-centre. The room was basic but okay. There is no separate bathroom, the shower is placed right in the room. The mattress is not very good, especially if you stay more than a couple of nights. The LED lights in the room and show are very nice. Breakfast was more than okay. The price of the rooms seems to be reasonable for this kind of hotel, although the bill was paid by my employer.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Resideal Antibes; City: Antibes French Riviera Cote d Azur Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: The Resideal Antibes is not exactly a hotel, but a holiday residence where you can rent studio apartments. I was travelling solo, but my guess is that an ordinary studio apartment can accomodate two adults and two small children max. The Resideal is located next to the municipal swimming pool and the theatre (Anthea). You should also be aware in advance that some things are a little quaint: you can rent bedsheets and towels at the reception or you will have to bring your own. You will also have to clean the studio apartment before you leave. All in all, my experience was pretty good and the accomodation is a very cost effective alternative, if you're visiting the French Riviera.. The people at the reception were helpful and friendly. The pool on the roof is fantastic, although the water was a little cold, the panorama is very scenic with a full view of the Alps, the port, with its yachts, the Mediterranean and Antibes. Antibes, is a very nice, beautiful town, not too large and not too small, which has a lot to offer on its own: the Musee Picasso, a couple of sandy beaches (no pebbles!), the remparts and alleys, the Marche Provencal, the port, Fort Carre (built by Vauban) and plenty of restaurants and eateries. The city centre is about ten to fifteen minutes on foot from the Resideal. The Antibes SNCF railway station is even closer, which is very handy for trips to Cannes, Monaco and Nice, etc.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Magnuson Hotel Alamogordo Suites; City: Alamogordo New Mexico; Review: Stayed at this motel during my New Mexico trip. It is a large motel and it has a swimming pool, which was nice for a refreshing swim. Alamogordo is not really interesting and the stay at this motel was just a stopover. The breakfast was okay, although the coffee was served in styrofoam cups.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Motel 6 Santa Fe Plaza Downtown; City: Santa Fe New Mexico; Review: During my trip in the southwestern U.S. I visited Santa Fe and visited this motel close to downtown Sante Fe. The motel is not special in itself, it has standard amenities and it is not too expensive, but its location is outstanding. I did stay a couple of days and there was nothing to complain.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Elephant Butte Inn; City: Elephant Butte Sierra County New Mexico; Review: I visited this motel during my trip to New Mexico and this hotel was the last stop before heading back in the direction of Arizona. The room was very large and the bed was okay. The swimming pool is next to the hotel and it was good to have a refreshing swim, because it was quite hot that day. A restaurant is attached to this hotel which serves Tex-Mex food. I did like the burrito and the beer.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Marina Atarazanas; City: Valencia Province of Valencia Valencian Country; Review: The hotel was chosen by me, because of its proximity to the port, the beaches and the city of sciences (a bit further away). The hotel is next to a nice church square. The room was generally nice, with a very useful large desk, but there may be some things that need improvement, such as the bathroom which could use a finishing touch here and there. The jacuzzi function of the bathtub worked properly, however. The beds might a bit hard for some, but I have slept fine for 5 nights. The LCD TV was quite tiny with only Spanish-language channels, which is not useful for guests who speak little or no Spanish. One of the best things I have appreciated about the hotel was the very fast internet/WiFi connection (Vodafone?), which enabled me to watch some online channels and to use Youtube and Skype effortlessly. The jacuzzi on the top floor was under repair during my stay. The hotel staff was also okay, some of them spoke very good English and were helpful. All in all, my stay was very okay, also considering the price I paid.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Motel One Berlin Ku damm; City: Berlin; Review: This Motel One was a very nice hotel. Although the room was a bit small for my taste, it was very clean and tidy and also very soundproof. The breakfast offering was included in the price and it was also quite good. The location is ideal, not far from Bahnhof Zoo (public transport) and the Savignyplatz with its cafes and restaurants. A supermarket, which comes in handy sometimes, Hit-Markt, is next door.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hestia Hotel Jugend; City: Riga Riga Region; Review: The hotel was excellent, with a good location. Many sights, such as the Art Deco district in Riga, can be visited on foot from the hotel. Very good and fairly spacious room. The breakfast was good, although the room where it was served, was somewhat cramped. Very helpful staff, especially when I had to book a taxi for an early flight back home.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seculo Hotel; City: Porto Porto District Northern Portugal; Review: It's a nice hotel, not too large and not too expensive. I spent four nights at the hotel in a very decent room, fairly large with a nice bathroom. The breakfast was included in the rate and was more than okay, with a variety of bread, cereals, fruits, etc. The WiFi connection was also excellent. The only slight drawback was the distance from the city centre. The walk downhill to the city centre takes about 15 to 20 minutes. But Porto is a city of hills. For the way back, it is advisable to use the metro which stops at the nearby Marques metro station. The bus stop at the Marques square can also be used to travel to the ocean in the suburbs of Foz/Matosinhos.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sun City Hotel; City: Tel Aviv Tel Aviv District; Review: This hotel is located in the heart of Tel Aviv. The room was on the small side and quite basic. The location is good, in between Allenby Street and the beaches. The Carmel market is also nearby. Knowing that Tel Aviv can be on the expensive side, this hotel offers fairly good value for money. It is nice that the hotel offers free coffee and in the morning also free muffins. All in all, this hotel was okay for my stay in Tel Aviv.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Kaboom Hotel; City: Maastricht Limburg Province; Review: The Kaboom Hotel is located on the eastern side of Maastricht, in the district of Wyck, near the railway station. The hotel is not too old and the rooms are nicely decorated, but basic and functional. The beds (Auping brand) were quite good. There are also some nice restaurants in the neighborhood. The Dadawan restaurant, next to the hotel, offers a good Asian fusion cuisine. Good value for money.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Jerusalem Gardens Hotel Spa; City: Jerusalem Jerusalem District; Review: I stayed at this hotel on the advise of a friend of mine, who has visited Jerusalem and this hotel at an earlier time. The hotel is large and seems to be geared to conferences and such. During my stay there was a convention of some Jewish religious group, who were sometimes noisy. The room was very spacious, with a comfortable bed and a wide variety of TV channels. WiFi is also reasonably good. The location is somewhat out of the city center, but very near the tram line. It is also near the highway and the traffic junctions which sometimes can be heard minimally in the room. The breakfast is very good, with many choices available. The restaurant is also nice and was especially useful on Sabbath when many restaurants are closed and public transport into the city is not running (Friday afternoon-Saturday evening). There is also an indoor pool and an outdoor pool. However, the latter was unfortunately closed in early October, during my stay. But it was nice to have a refreshing swim in the indoor pool after a hot day, visiting sights in Jerusalem. Some sights can easily be reached on foot, like the Knesset and the Israel Museum.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Flavia de Luce, #1); Author: Alan Bradley; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: I just can't finish. I don't know if it's because the narrator is a kid and I found her voice plain boring or if it was the slow movement of the story, but this just wasn't for me.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Art of Racing in the Rain; Author: Garth Stein; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I enjoyed this book very much. Having recently lost a pet, it made me think even more of her and maybe what she thought about our lives over the years. While some people in my book club didn't like some of the subject matter, I think it worked well with having Enzo tell the story. The joy of actually being a dog and what a dog does all day and Enzo being privy to everything around him, it makes you think what your pet may see and think about you. It's an easy read but have the tissues ready!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Promises in Death (In Death, #28); Author: J.D. Robb; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I have been reading the In Death series since it started and they never disappoint. Enjoyed the additional insight into the Morris character this time. And the smart girl council was a nice touch.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kindred in Death (In Death, #29); Author: J.D. Robb; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Very good even the mushy stuff at the end. Case was involving. It amazes me that the story took place over just a week!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Await Your Reply; Author: Dan Chaon; Genres: thriller, crime, mystery, fiction; Review: Pretty much loved this book. Fast read, complex story and well laid out for this scifi/mystery reader. Not that this is science fiction, it's not. But it almost feels like it sometime because of how the story is laid out. While there were no characters that I fell in love with, it was an engrossing read for me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Same Kind of Different as Me; Author: Ron Hall; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I didn't finish. I liked it ok until it started getting preachy. Just not for me.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Athena Project (Athena, #1); Author: Brad Thor; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: While the female characters weren't entirely fleshed out to my satisfaction, this book was a good, fast read. The action was fast paced and easy to follow, at least for me. I was more than a little creeped out by my knowledge of Nazi war crimes and US government conspiracies and I was able to figure out a key plot point about half way through, but my guess wasn't confirmed until the last 10 pages so I was OK with it. I would recommended to anyone wanting to branch out into the "thriller" realm.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee; Author: Karen Abbott; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: While I enjoyed the subject matter, I didn't like the way the booked skipped around in the timeline. Maybe it was because I listened to it as an audio book but I never really knew were I was in Gypsy's life at any point. As for the subject matter, Gypsy's life was just sad. Her mother was mean and Gypsy and her sister June weren't treated well as children at all. Not the movie life at all. Interesting story about the history of burlesque for sure.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ready Player One; Author: Ernest Cline; Genres: young-adult, romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I totally LOVED this book. As a child of the late 70's - early 80's so many of the pieces of this book felt like home and I am not THAT big of a nerd. OK, I am but I watched very little anime and rarely plaid games on any home gaming system. This shouldn't diminish a readers enjoyment of this book. I am not going to go into details (they are too fun to discover on your own!). you can read that elsewhere, just know if you want to have a good time and be immersed in an online world that feels real? Read this book. I listened to an unabridged edition read by Wil Wheaton and it was brilliant.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Late, Late at Night; Author: Rick Springfield; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction; Review: Love Rick growing up. Beginnings was the first album I ever bought. I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this book. Honestly, I have never understood depression but Rick's honest description of the darkness and the hold it has/had over periods of his life is brutal. I will admit to crying more than once. Lots of sex and some drugs and more sex. One of the best I have read in awhile.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | goodreads |
