Review: how the hell did I give this train wreck a 5 stars in 2016? It was not a urban fantasy that I adore. It was barely classified as a urban fantasy. Kick ass woman character? Nope just a tstl one cracking jokes. All that could have been saved! If there was romance. I like romance a lot. There just was not there until the last few chapters. I like Hugh but he was sort of whiney. Overall it was a book that is readable but if you.like strong fighting women and strong men who fight along side their lover this is not it. I have been spoiled

Review
I absolutely loved it! This is a romantic comedy that I will enjoy reading time and time again. It’s priceless. It’s all about family and second chances. Miles and Andrew are thrown back together in order to give their daughter the wedding she wants. Even after a 2 years of not talking and being separated, they’ve never finalized their divorce. But a truce is called as they join forces against the future in-laws to make Kelly’s wedding come true. One can predict the story line, but the true joy was reading how the roller coaster events bring Miles and Andrew back together where they belong.

Review: A nice short re-read for me. Hunter is a bit emotionally constipated but Randall changes that very quickly. And the rest is history or something like that. A book for a cozy afternoon in front if a fire with a hot cup of tea.

Rated: 2,5 stars
Review: Don't get me wrong. There was a time I liked G.A. Hauser's writing. But I can't remember if I ever liked this book more than this time. The author us stereotyping so much and the relationships are so over the top it is grating. The woman must be a lesbian not to want to have sex with her fiancé and the wedding planner is the best looking gay guy who happened to be a porn star in his youth. Really?

Review:
Holy crap it was so good! We learn so much about Percival background. His mother's illness. How crazy his brother is. His two sisters. One is murdered and the mystery surrounding it the other died at birth or did she? This book opened up a whole can of worms. Loved it

I´m still in Denmark. It is cold and wet and grey but as usual we both love it here. Today was our lazy day as it was raining so much. It is currently dry out so we will go for a walk on the beach now.

And we have been shopping. We bought chairs for the dining room and a very comfy swinging leather chair for the livingroom.

Review
Gave it 5 stars even with some edit errors going on, I enjoyed it that much. I love a sci-fi book that has wonderful world building, and the major culture differences between Cameron and the aliens. I loved the humor where no one understands each other’s language and what happens between the two. But the chemistry between, there was no misunderstanding that! Lots of sexy times. I wish there was a sequel, there are too many questions to be answered. And I need to know happens with the others!
