A Lady Can Never Be Too Curious by Mary Wine


My review for: A Lady Can Never Be Too Curious by Mary Wine
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Trudy Powders

This is the first Mary Wine book I have ever read and I loved it!

The story takes us to the world of the Illuminist, men and women of science and their enemies, the Helikeian.  Janette sneaks into a meeting of the Illuminist. The men soon realize what she is and how important she is to the order. Janette meets Darius and is attracted to him .Janette knows she is special but isn’t sure until Darius explains to her. .

As their feelings grow, Janette rushes to try to save her friend Sophia after the evil gets hold of her. Janette leaves a hidden message for Darius, who arrives to help. Janette and Darius spend time alone. There is a lot going on in this story, minor ‘stories’ that connect and form a strong cast and exciting adventure.

Once again we are transported to the beauty and the harshness of Montana. We meet the Grant and West families. Torn apart by the murder of his sister, Ginny; Rylan and Destry resent each other but never stop loving each other. Rylan believes Destry’s brother Carson killed his sister Ginny.

As the story unfolds we meet the towns’ people and become involved in all their lives. This story is full of plot twists and turns. Eventually Rylan and Destry start to believe the other and begin to work together.

Tragedy strikes Destry’s family; secrets are revealed. This is a very strong story. I enjoyed the detail of the beauty and danger of life lived in Montana. The ranching life came alive for me. This book is an awesome read.
 

Hot & Spicy: De La Cruz Saga by P.T. Macias

My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

I have never read a book mixed with Spanish and English. I was proud of myself that I was able to read the story without going to the glossary at the back of the book.

This book follows the De La Cruz family. Jose Enrique needs a date for his family celebration, he chooses Jessica Cortez. Jose Enrique starts to have feelings for Jessica at first not knowing Jessica has loved him all along.

The story follows the family and the family business. All is going well until an enemy kidnaps members of the family. The family all bands together to get back the members, other loves happen. The danger is not over. I enjoyed this story.

This story follows the brothers, Dean and Sam to New Jersey, along with fellow hunter Bobby Singer. Strange happenings start to happen in a small town. The monster in this story is a Oni named Tora who had visited the town years before. He has come back to claim what is his and to perform a ritual.
 
At first he seems to be unstoppable for the hunters. Then with the help of a retired hunter, Roy the boys learn how to stop the Oni. Blood and carnage follow the Oni. He comes very close to completing the ritual; many lives are lost.
 
Sam keeps having Lucifer visits and really must struggle to stay with it and keep his sanity. Once again Mr. Passarella does a wonderful story that fits right in with the brothers lives. I enjoyed this story it was fresh and exciting.
 
 


Lover Reborn by J.R. Ward



My review for: Lover Reborn by J.R. Ward
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

 All I can say about this book is WOW! JR Ward has done it again with a heartfelt story following Tohr as he is still grieving his former wife Wellsie.

 Tohr befriends a woman named No One a woman from his past. Tohr is told his beloved Wellsie is stuck and can’t move on unless he does. His pain is so deep you grieve with him. No One becomes very important to this story.

 The Brothers are still fighting the evil in Caldwell. Wrath is targeted and struck down. I am so anxious for the next book in this beloved series!

Review: Deja Blue (The Ruby Blue Series) by  Julie Cassar
Anne Nelson
 
Brennan and Anya are franticly trying to find out who is after Ruby. (I love these two) why is Ruby in trouble again? Oh my, will Anya and Brennan ever find out who is after Ruby, and will it be in enough time if they do?
 
Ruby’s gifts are going as each trial or adventure is encountered, ones that she never thought possible.
 
Author Julie Cassar is such a phenomenal in her writing style, as she captivates us all. Whether you’re a YA or adult you will truly enjoy it just as I have. I promise you wont be disappointed one bit. You will fall in love with this series.
 
If you haven’t yet to indulge yourself in the amazing world of Ruby, you are truly missing out on a terrific story and read. It will have you impatiently waiting for the next book to be released.
 
So beautifully written, with loveable characters that your mind and heart will be spinning on a roller coaster of a ride, so hurry up and jump on board as it comes to a slide.. But beware you are in for a dynamic ride!!! But I can promise you this ride wont end at that end of this book. So hold on tight.
 
Hurry up Ms Cassar, and give us some ore of Ruby and her friends so we can soar straight into “Sky Blue”
