Review:
This is the third time I've read this book but this is the new edition was a little more to the story than before. All in all not a whole lot that's different but the new parts were great. Especially Disco's pre-vamp story. The main thing I got from this reread though was, I forgot how drool worthy Disco is and what a bad a$$ Rhiannon is. It's been so unbelievably long since I visited this world. I can't wait for the new release of The Renfield Syndrome and I really really can't wait for the fourth one! It's been far to long!

Synopsis
"A marriage is always two intersecting stories." This realization comes perhaps too late to the husband of Etna Bliss-a man whose obsession with his young wife begins at the moment of their first meeting, as he helps Etna and her companions escape from a fire in a hotel restaurant, and culminates in a marriage doomed by secrets and betrayal.
This was a hard book for me. It was a good story, I liked almost everything about it. But Nicholas, the main character he was just hard to like. He seemed to desperate, and that really took away from the story.
Merry late Christmas ladies! We had a houseful, still have company and I'm in a zombie state at the moment lol.
Merry Christmas.....and I'm with you Jenne, I'm glad it's over!
Merry Christmas ! Hope everyone gets the energy back soon : )

Terminal Life: A Suited Hero Novelby Richard Torregrossa

This one was good. It was very quick read. It had a lot of action and sucked you in from the beginning. The hero was not an everyday hero. He seem more like an anti hero. However if you are looking for a fun book with lots of suspense and lots of action you will enjoy this one.
Merry Christmas everyone, and I'm still in the bed twenty-four hours after the madness at my house!! The hubby brought me two puppies, I named them Holmes and Watson!!!

We have a Simba, Meeko, Mushu and Scar but our dog we named after a taco Chalupa. Good luck with your new four legged babies.

I really enjoy the way Appel writes. It pulls you in and keeps you reading. I really like this one. Sometimes the main character can be a tad bit challenging to root for but you do. People who are looking for a different love story will like this one. It is very quirky but a lot of fun.

Synopsis
Issy Randall, proud owner of The Cupcake Cafe, is in love and couldn't be happier. Her new business is thriving and she is surrounded by close friends, even if her cupcake colleagues Pearl and Caroline don't seem quite as upbeat about the upcoming season of snow and merriment. But when her boyfriend Austin is scouted for a possible move to New York, Issy is forced to face up to the prospect of a long-distance romance. And when the Christmas rush at the cafe - with its increased demand for her delectable creations - begins to take its toll, Issy has to decide what she holds most dear. This December, Issy will have to rely on all her reserves of courage, good nature and cinnamon, to make sure everyone has a merry Christmas, one way or another .
I liked this quick read....it was funny and warm hearted. I enjoyed the characters, and the recipes. But I only rated it 3 stars, I think I just had read too many holiday books too close together.
Read mine out of order lolSpot 44:

Review: I freaking love Ric, to me he was one of the best guys in the series IMO. I loved how these two hand a history when they were pups but couldn't really remember. Something as simple as a chocolate bar brought back those memories. DeAnn is freaking hilarious, she's that girl who is who she is and ain't going to apologize for it. I loved that Blayne got under her skin at every turn. I liked that Dee didn't have a problem with claiming Ric, because that's what she was suppose to do.One of my favorite series ever!

Thank you guys, OMG puppies are alot. What's up with the whining in the middle of the night. We are taking turns like they are newborns but I adore them already. Jace is super protective it's really cute.

LOL...they are worst then babies. My son received two kittens in September, I never received so many phone calls from him about everything from food to kitty litter. I told my hubby this is good training for the real thing called parenthood.
Good luck, it does get better, and it's worth it!
I should be done with both my books tomorrow. Between Christmas and end of year mod duties I've been busy!Mika it'll calm down. They just have to get used to being away from their mom.
@Nay, I hope so. I don't like to be disturbed out if my sleep lol. I keep telling the hubby this is what you gotta look forward to once we have babies. Not he has a skeptical face.@Jenne, I know we moved them closer to us. He wants them in the bed but I can't do with my bed covers smelling like anything other than me. We're trying.
No animals in the bed for me either. I tried to let my cat sleep with us...until he wrapped himself around my head and purred like a motor.

What a game changer!! Lucas is still an asshat though...and now Holden is a new favorite! This ending just guaranteed I'll be reading the next one sooner rather than later too. Can't wait to see where the series goes next.
Is this what you look like this morning,lol
LOL..@Nay Nay, not that harsh but it was hectic!!

Review:
This was a reread so I could prepare for book 5 coming out tonight. I love Cole & Jae so much. It's kinda hard picking my top 5 favorite couples in the mm atmosphere but I can't leave them out. I really felt for Cole this book because it was hard for him trying to be loyal to Jae and not fight his past demons. I understood him wanting to protect Jae as well, and loved Jae for letting Cole handle his business. I definitely teared up during the talk with Cole & Claudia she is definitely the mother he never had. Damn the ending! Can't wait for midnight.
I'm trying to finish my last one. I'm so sick and not sure if I will. If I don't we can go ahead and roll since everyone could be exempt if needed.
Jenne that terrible.....hope you feel better soon!
I managed to finish! While my fever was down. Back to 103 as soon as the Motrin wears off :(
I'll be back with my review after a bit.

Another solid installment! I did prefer the first one more but that's only because I didn't like he situation Hunter, Alynn, and Rasha found themselves in. It did tie up nicely though and Hunter ended up being an awesome lead.

I'd be ok if it wasn't for this high fever. It makes me loopy on top of aching all over. I actually woke myself up last night whimpering because I was shivering so hard.I hope you feel better! Nasty coughs suck they're so painful and annoying.
Girls not a good way to start the new year....take care!
Thank you ladies. We're getting there.
