"Fast-paced book, as far as I can tell. Veryyyyy interesting. This will be unputdownable I imagine - already I am reluctant to part with it!" — Jun 25, 2011 04:35pm

Dwayne gave to: Hope's Child by Helen R. Myers read in July, 2011	My rating:
Not really a fan of the plot, but I thought I might give it a try. Advice - if you don't really like the sound of the book, don't waste your time. I found the book emotion-less and honestly, boring. I skimmed through the last two thirds of the book a...more

Dwayne gave to: The Markonos Bride (Greek Tycoons) (Harlequin Presents #2723) by Michelle Reid read in July, 2011	My rating:
Oh I love this book. This is Michelle Reid at her best. The Markonos Bride is one emotion-filled, soulful romance that maintains its realism in a believable plot and even more credible characters.

Dwayne gave to: The Emerald Talisman (Talisman, #1) by Brenda Pandos (Goodreads Author) read in June, 2011	My rating:
Reviewed @ Girls Without a Bookshelf. Saying this book tested my patience does not even begin to cover it; it truly exhausted every ounce of whatever patience there was in me. While I admit I was intrigued about its premise at first, and was thoroughl...more

Dwayne liked Annie's review of The Emerald Talisman: " Terrible. It's trailing on the end of the vampire trend and introduces nothing new. The story is stale and uninteresting, superficial and slow. Basically, the author took the characters from Twilight (plain chick + vampirey stalker guy who saves h... " Read more of this review »

Dwayne gave to: Married With Zombies (Living with the Dead, #1) by Jesse Petersen (Goodreads Author) read in June, 2011	My rating:
I was rearing to read about ass-kicking couples a few days back and this book called out to me. Not only does it have romance at its heart, which I couldn't obviously seem to live without, it also has some targetted violence and that makes one intere...more

Dwayne gave to: My Soul to Keep (Soul Screamers, #3) by Rachel Vincent (Goodreads Author) read in June, 2011	My rating:
Oh wow. Rachel Vincent just keeps pulling me deeper and deeper into her Soul Screamers series with each succeeding book. Third in the series so far, My Soul to Keep is a keeper that will not only surprise, but also pull at the heart strings of its re...more

Dwayne gave to: The Wedding of the Century & Other Stories: The Wedding of the Century\Jesse's Wife\Seduced by Starlight by Mary Jo Putney read in June, 2011	My rating:
Of all literature genres, romance is probably my favourite. Of all the romances, historical is what I definitely favour. And of all the historical romances I adore those which feature couples finding unexpected love in marriages. So right off the bat...more

Dwayne gave to: A Borrowed Scot (The Tulloch Sgàthán Trilogy, #3) by Karen Ranney (Goodreads Author) read in June, 2011	My rating:
I read a LOT of highland romances, cliche many may be. Even so, it's not often I find a highland romance with an American in the starring role. And, of these mostly the Americans are perceived with distaste by the characters. Being American is one of...more

“My beautiful, my Isobel. My Love. You ask me to wait. And so I wait.
For all of this, I know, is but a dream.
And when, in sleep, at last we wake,
I will see you again.”

“If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay.”
― Gayle Forman, If I Stay
