Book Reviews by Rachael

This is a first novel by this author, the book is about a girl who just finds out she has a nephew when her sister drops him off at her apartment to stay for two weeks.  A few days later she goes on the run from her nephew's grandparents with a guy she hardly knows.  She has her hotel room trashed, her car seats slashed and is scared for her and her nephews life.  This book was amazing I loved guessing who the main guy character was, it was quite the twist/mystery, I also love it when I'm right and haven't even finished the book.  This story drew me in on the first page and I got lost in the lives of the characters, that we so well built.  The mystery was great, the romance was good, I loved the guessing, it was quite the mystery.  I turned page after page to see if I was right and to also see how it would end.  This book left me wanting more.  I gave this book 5 stars and read this book December 2011.

This book is about a girl who flees from a cabin in the middle of the night after her boyfriend hits her.  She's not sure how she ends up in the cabin of 4 guys but they take good care of her and become quite protective of her till she decides she will go back to her life.  This book was a first book for this author and I can't wait till she writes another one.  It was amazing, I loved it, the characters were really good and the tention between the characters was also good.  I hope she writes another book soon.  I gave this book 5 stars and read this book in November 2011.

Not sure if I need to say too much about this book, the author should tell you what I thought of the book.  I'm not sure this author knows how to write a bad book, and this book is no exception.  Loved it, Loved it, Loved it.  The book is about a singer who goes into hiding to avoid a stalker, she refuses body guards, and FBI help.  She meets a very attractive man who she gets romantically involved with.  Only to find out he has been assigned to protect her without her knowledge. Again I loved this book, a really good read, with all the twists and turns you expect from this wonderful author.  I love her books and this was great.  I gave this book 5 stars and I read this book in September 2011.

This book was quite strange at the beginning but it does get better. The book is about a girl who has nightmares that she doesn't understand.  The Flashbacks are her falling down stairs and in a house she has never been into before.  After her Aunt dies she inherits a plantation.  She goes to the plantation to see if she can run the plantation when she starts to remember things that she shouldn't be able to know.  She is also drawn to a murder than happened when she would have been only a young child herself.  This book was very good with lots of twists and turns.  The main character is very likeable but the other characters in the book leave you wondering what the author will reveal about them.  I love romance mysteries and after the first couple of chapters I did enjoy this book.  I gave this book 3.5 stars and I read this book at the end of August 2011.

This book was really good, especially if you like mysteries.  It took me a few chapters to get into it, but once there, I kept turning those pages, dying to figure out who did what?  Who she would end up with?  Anyway, The storyline is about a girl who is already an Orphan and is brought up by her Grandmother, who she though she knew.  When her Grandmother dies, she is confused to the terms of her Grandmothers will, having nothing really to loose she decides to do as her Grandmother has asks and lives in a little house in a small town for a year and try her hand at writing.  This is a mystery and romance and I promise it will not dissapoint.  I really liked this book.  I read this book in August 2011 and gave this book 5 Stars.

Alexa gets offered a dream job, writing a biography for a pop star Colin Radcliff and going on tour to Europe to do it.  How could anyone turn that down.  She is thrilled, till she starts reciving death threats.  Colin gets worried and puts her on 24/7 bodyguard protection in the form of his best body guard Jamison.  This book was actually really cute, I wasn't sure what I would think to it, but the energy was good I ended up loving the characters and was sorry when I had finished it.  I read this book in August 2011 and I gave this book 4 Stars.

After reading other books by this Author I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book, it took some time and I waited patiently for the Library to let me know they had a copy.  Elise is a widow with a young son, when she meets Jared Amesbury she is immediately smitten with his roguish charm.  Jared Amesbury is a gentleman by day Pirate by night.  Jared wants out of the Pirate business and is undercover working for the government, when he hears of one last assignment he cannot turn it down.  Unfortunately the assignment goes back and Elise being seen with him is dragged into his world.  This is a complex plot and although I love this Author I had a hard time keeping up with this one.  Their is a light romance, nothing like the romance of her other books, but still a great and interesting read and well worth the time.  I read this book in August 2011 and I gave this book 3 stars.

Isabelle is a free spirit, unlike most women.  She takes on a journey to travel to collect some books for her church.  Her mother agrees to the journey as long as she takes a tour guide and her brother with her.  Whilst travelling to obtain the books she meet Samuel, he tags along with them as they are going to the same place, when the tour guide goes missing, they are attached by Indians and held prisoner.  She is forced to watch as they kill her brother, in order to stay alive she must act as they do.  This is hard as she is wild and likes to be free, she tests her boundaries, she refuses to conform.  This book is interesting, not a favorite book of mine, I wonder about the portrayal of the Indians, not sure if they would act as the book says they do.  I did find her intriguing, I expected more from the book.  I read this book in June and I gave it 3 stars.

Cicumstances beyond her control put Alicia in a position where she has to accept a marriage proposal in order to keep her and her family from financial ruin.  She agrees to marry a man she doesn't know and doesn't love , who is extremely wealthy and he promises her he will not only take care of her but also will take care of her family financially.  With little choice she accepts.  I really liked this book, the characters had great depth and you want Alicia to be happy.  As I read this book my fairy tale ending didn't seem possible but the twist at the end was just what I as looking for.  I love books by this Author but I think this would be my favorite book by her.  I read this book in June and gave it 5 stars.

The storyline of this book two friends who jog everyday, one day her friend doesn't show up to jog with her and they try to figure our why? Is she missing? Is she Kidnapped?  Is she Dead?  Did she run away.  This is one of my favorite authors I love her mystery/romance feel she gives her books.  I kind of got a little creeped out as this was set close to where I use to live.  Also this could happen to any of us.  The author really did a great job.  This was another book I would guess and guess at before I thought I knew who did it?  I was wrong most of the way through.  I liked her characters and the storyline was a little creepy for any joggers out there but overall a great read.  I read this book in June 2011 I gave this book 4 Stars.

This book was quite good, I have not read any books by this Author and liked the mystery of the plot I would guess and guess and guess again to see if I was right and in the end I wasn't.  So the twists in this book were good not what I was expecting.  The plot was quite simple but the twists were not.  I liked the main girl character, but didn't relate to the other characters very well. I read this book in May 2011.  I gave this book 3 stars.
