This was awesome! I lol'ed quite a few times while listening to it. Lots of great Dick Chaney moments too! From my understanding this was the last one and that makes me sad. Jane is always a good pick me up when you want a quick, funny, and entertaining read. I'm not sure where the story arc could go from this point anyways though. Jane seemed to come to terms with a lot of things in this book. I'm happy with the way everything went down. Jane deserves a HEA.

Jenne, there is a spinoff series Half Moon Hollow, first book

[Jenne]

I've read the first 2, still need to read the new release. I wish Dick had a book!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Plus there a couple of novellas.

Dick would be excruicatingly amazing.

[Jenne]

I read the Christmas one at Christmas. Audible had it for free so I snatched it up.

Dick pre Andrea would be amazing and probably downright hysterical.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yep!!

Review:

Why does it seem like every character named Isabelle is bitchy or has an attitude problem. Not like its a bad think I usually like these characters and this one is no exception. I am very curious on how the next book will play out and even Sinner the fourth book. Definitely kept me interested. It did have its slow parts like the first one but still pretty good. I think over all I would give it a 3.5 stars. I liked how the point of view changed from four different characters that helped keep the story alive in my opinion.

[Mary X]

Am I the last one on the Free Space book?

4 stars

I liked this one better than the first one. The "I'm not worthy of her because I have no soul and besides no woman could truly love me for me" from Kyrian got a little tiring. Amanda sounded a little whiny at times but that could just be the way the narrator did her Southern accent. Sex scenes were good but I like that they didn't take over the book.

[Raquel (Rocki)]

you only have like 25 more books to the series in order to catch up Mary lol I am glad you liked it better than the first do you plan to keep going?

[Mary X]

I have the next 2 and I will see how they work into my challenges.

Hmm. Don't have any S author's in my upcoming plan. But I'll come up with something.

Anyone else getting error messages when trying to read goodreads posts in Firefox or IE? I kept getting "invalid API" messages but got in with Chrome.

[Raquel (Rocki)]

Really wish I could have used the book that I am currently reading. Oh wells I will probably be reading

I think I am going to go non paranormal this week. I've had the audio version of this on hold from the library for about 6 months now and it finally came in the other day.

Review:
4.5
Wow what a crazy book! The action never stopped and some major turning points in the series. I'm quiet shocked at some events. This book made me feel all sorts of emotions from joy to sorrow to laughter and anger. Back when I started this series I never expected it to evolve to the level it has. Shannon Mayer has a true gift in fleshing out a story to where you feel what the characters are feeling. I can't wait to see what book 7 brings Rylee and company...I have a feeling it will be intense!

[Jenne]

I'm slacking this week took me till Friday lol! Hope everyone is enjoying their books :)

[Mary X]

Sorry I am behind on the Shifter book. Maybe I will look for one on audio. Although I have a week off from schoolwork so I might be able to actually sit and read.

Good news is that I am almost finished with my S book.

Desert Bound - Elizabeth Hunter - ★★★★ (3/29/2015)

Review:

The story of Alex and Ted (whose nickname I really don't like), who finally find their way back to each other after many years and a lot of obstacles.

The resort is being built but not without problems, as another murder happens that causes delays. Alex and Ted get involved in Caleb's investigation to find the killer and deal with their relationship problems at the same time.

I'm really enjoying the world of Cambio Springs and I find myself intrigued by the secondary characters who will hopefully have their own stories later on, starting with Allie and Ollie next, according to the epilogue.

[Raquel (Rocki)]

It's okay Mary I am behind on my S is for... book I haven't started it yet but I will definitely before Wednesday.

[Mary X]

I just realized that I never reviewed my S book even though I finished it Sat evening.

S is for Supernatural:



4 stars

3/28/15

This is a light fun read. Not a lot different than the rest of the series. Hero thinks he's not the commitment type. Heroine thinks she can just have a fling with him even though she's been in love with him forever. Family and friends meddle. This series is good when you are looking for a light, reliable, entertaining read.

[Jenne]

No worries Mary! And yay for a week off :)

[Mary X]

Technically I have 2 weeks off but there are always assignments due the first day of class. So it's really only one. Which sucks.

Head Over Heels (Lucky Harbor #3) - Jill Shalvis - ★★★★ (30/03/2015)

Review:

The story of free-spirited Chloe and responsible sheriff Sawyer.

Chloe is the youngest of the Traeger sisters and the most immature one according to her sisters. She is trying her best to get over her fear of setting roots and "grow up" without losing herself in the process and in the meantime finds love.

Sawyer is trying to atone for his wild teenage misadventures by working himself to exhaustion in his efforts to keep the town safe. His job is demanding and has chased away his previous girlfriends, so he doesn't think relationships are a good idea at the time.

The two have great chemistry and make a great, balanced couple, and I enjoyed listening to their story.

Next in the series comes comes Lucky in Love.

[Thenia]

Okay Devil's, quick update:

We're just one book away from both our "Shifter" shelf and the "S is for..." shelf stamps. You can see the lists if you follow the links.

Good job everyone! Looking forward to the next shelf tomorrow...

[Jenne]

Woot woot good job ladies :)

[Mary X]

I'm finally making progress on my Shifter book since I have a week off from school.

[Raquel (Rocki)]

I have started my S is for... book im about 30% of the way throught it so far

[Jenne]

Six pack shelf this week.

[Mary X]

Hmm. OK let me peruse my audiobook options.

[Jenne]

Uh I have nothing on board for April that works. Just finished the new Stage Dive book this am....

[Mary X]

I have hit a big goose egg for six pack abs in my current stash of audiobooks. Unless I commit the cardinal sin of skipping a book in a series. I'll peruse my e-books and my library's audiobook selection.

[Jenne]

I think I'll go with

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Mary, don't forget to check other edition covers.

[Mary X]

I have been. Most of my audios are not the type for ab baring covers. Well I have a couple but I am not ready to read them yet for various reasons.

I have a couple of possibilities from the library. I will post when I decide on one.
