Review:
This was nothing overly original or new but was still quite enjoyable to read. It was actually a free kindle book I picked up years ago and stumped across on my KIndle at 1am the other day so it was a pleasant surprise to find it was actually not badly written. I didn't really connect to the characters but was still worth a read.
Words:
Piano- 'the piano concerto waft over them' page 206
Candle- 'they walked into the small, candle-lit' page 194
Father- 'wondered what was up with him and his father' page 30
Home- 'a home question' page 105
Black- 'and his black trousers' page 4

Bonus -- Piano

Review
This was much better that the previous book. It was full of action straight from the start. Lily's mother has somehow last her memories and thinks she is twelve years old. Loved that we saw some of Toby. He is such an awesome kid.
So we're just waiting on Hina's Review yet :) The game is getting good now!! So many teams neck and neck.

Week 9
Book: The Grand Finale by Janet Evanovich.
Date Read: 4/14/15
Rating: 4 stars
Reviw:
This is one of my feel good books to read. It is very cheesy with love at first sight and no realistic plot or anything. Just a lot of goofy characters, but it is one of those book that doesn't use a lot of brain cells and give you a few laughs and I needed that this week.
Items Claimed:
Piano: "...homemade butterscotch pudding in the afternoon, and piano lessons..." - Page 50.
Candle: "Jack lit the candles and leaned back..." - Page 187.
Father: "You sound like an expectant father, waiting for your spaniel to deliver a healthy one-carat ring." - Page 219.
Home: "Quasimodo was home now and might be hungry." - Page 6.
Black: "Little black dots floated in front of her eyes..." - Page 9.
Ok This weeks words are: Week 10: Coat/Jacket Bonus: Garage
OK So looking at the spreadsheet I see we have yet to claim,
For People: Sister or Teacher
For Colors: Pink or White
For Places: All Have Been Claimed
For People: Sister or Teacher
For Colors: Pink or White
For Places: All Have Been Claimed
The Book I want to read Has these words: Coat,Garage,Sister and White
but I can look for something else when I get home from work if we decide on something else.
Plus I'm not 100% sure about what we do if we have already claimed all of 1 Category , Do we skip it or look for 1 of the words over again?

Sister ~ and his sister Eve (p. 141)
Coat ~ guys in those long coats (p. 10)
White ~ and a puffy white vest (p. 82)
Garage ~ down at the garage (p. 220)
This Fast Track tale is a fun somewhat hot second chance at love. The lead couple is a wonderful pairing of two people in love with her insisting it is only lust. Although the plot is thin especially when compared to previous Fast Track tales, fans will enjoy watching the desperate antics of a married couple at cross purposes.

Review:This isn't my first Cynthia Eden book and it certainly won't be my last. Book one in the Phoenix Fire Series was great! In this story we got to met Eve and Cain and lets just say that when these two met the sparks fly.You see Cain is a Phoenix a creature of myth and legend, a being that can die and then rise again more powerful then before. He is being held captive and tortured in a research facility by a mad scientist with dreams of creating the perfect weapon. Little does he know that the beast will not be caged much longer and then everything is going to burn. With the help of Eve, Cain is freed and looking for revenge and when he finds the man he's looking for everything will be burned to ash.
The relationship between Eve and Cain is Super Nova Hot! These two literally burn up the pages. I have always enjoyed Cynthia's writing, she writes a story with enough ebb and flow that you can almost read the entire book in one sitting. Her Characters are engaging and have plenty of depth that you instantly become attached to them. I can't wait to read the next story in the Phoenix Fire series about secondary character Ryder, a bad ass vampire on a mission to find the girl he loves!
Items Claimed:
WOW:Coat/Jacket:Sony Loc. pg 48 Wyatt straightened his lab coat
Bonus:Garage:Sony Loc. pg 73 personnel kept their vehicles in the garage
Sister:Sony Loc. pg 266 “Dru . . . had a little sister. She went missing
White:Sony Loc. pg 39 and smashed his perfect white shirt in her fists.

Review
This series has got much better with each book. I've been waiting for James' book since the start and it didn't disappoint. Liked both James and Shiloh. Janie is a fun kid. Love the friendships in these books.
It's Word Day! I'm excited I really want to start a new book

Review: An enjoyable book by Jeaniene Frost though not one of my favourites. It is quite different from her other books but is still an interesting read. I did like the characters and the plot was not dull. It did remind how much I want to read the next book in the Night Prince series though.
White- long black coast over a white shirt- pg 47
Jacket- He'd left his jacket back in the club - pg 81
Garage- went downstairs to the garage- pg 15
Sister-His mother and sister had just died within a month of each other - pg 3

Week 10
Book: Her Little White Lie by Maisey Yates.
Date Read: 4/24/15
Rating: 5 stars
Reveiw:
To keep her daughter, Paige told a white lie that she is engaged, and its none other than her boss, Dante Romani, but she never thought it would make headlines. Although Dante is pissed at this, he decides to help Paige get custody and also improve his image in the media. It is a typical harlequin plot, fake relationship and fall in love for real. But I just loved the book, and I loved Dante too, he wants to give the impression that he is cold-hearted and mean but he really is nice guy. I love going back to read some of my favorite books, when I am in slum and this was it.
Items Claimed:
Coat: “You seem uncertain, Paige,” he said, taking his coat off the peg that was..." - Location 276.
Garage: "...heading toward the parking garage." -Location 354.
Sister: "Nothing like her straight-A achieving sister and her football-star brother. - Location 600
White: "...the lie of the century, shouting at her in black and white." - Location 60.
So just by looking at the spreadsheet it would seem this might be our last week to play :(

That's a good Idea plus it could make things a lot more interesting just by having the players pick the words

So since it's down to two teams for the win are we going still going to pick books this week or should we just call it quits, cause I'm good to do either I still have to read for Bingo and SS team challenges.
Let me check my books for those I might get lucky and have the remaining words we can claim :)

Well it looks like we have a winner, I guess there really isn't any point to worry over much about finishing in a big hurry :)
Just like to point out that I had a wonderful time playing with all of you and this was so much fun, can't wait to play again.

Review:Yet another great read from the Dragonfury series and it's about my favorite Dragonkind warrior Wick. He is your typical alpha male, he's tough as nails and never backs down from a fight but he comes from a traumatic past of horrible abuse that has left him hating to be touched by anyone but most especially females. So Imagine his surprise when he goes on a rescue mission for one of his dragonkind brothers mates to bring home her wounded sister and has all these unexpected feels for her, this makes for some seriously steamy sexy time between the two and finally gets Wick to open up and come out of his self imposed prison.
You just want to cry when you here the kinds of things that was done it his man and I am so happy that Wick finally got his happy ever after. Best one of the series so far.
