Five
by Ursula Archer
Five (11/17/2014)
It took me a long time to get into this book and, at one point, I was even considering not finishing it. I stuck with it, though, because I liked the idea of the geocacheing angle, which made it very interesting. It was an okay book but certainly not one of my favorites.
Her
by Harriet Lane
Disappointing (6/8/2014)
I was disappointed with this book. It took the author a long time to get where she was going and it didn't seem to make a lot of sense. I could have understood Nina's anger and revenge a bit better if Emma had had an affair with her father but that wasn't the case. And Emma never realized who Nina was?? That seems a bit of a stretch. Not one of my favorite books, unfortunately.
Mating for Life
by Marissa Stapley
Bravo!! (3/30/2014)
One of the best books I've read in a very long time! Great characterizations and a good story. It was hard to put down and I will be looking forward to seeing more books from Marissa Stapley in the future!
Precious Thing
by Colette McBeth
Precious Thing (1/21/2014)
I was not particularly fond of this book. It started well but didn't necessarily end that way. I'm not sure if it was the writing style or the story itself, or possibly both, that created some negative vibes for me. Not one of my favorite reads.
Safe with Me
by Amy Hatvany
Safe With Me (11/30/2013)
Even though the subject matter dealt with two very difficult issues, I thoroughly enjoyed the story although, for me, the ending seemed a little flat after the big buildup to it. It almost seemed like it ended too soon. I did like Amy Hatvany's writing style and will be reading her other books.
