ER Book Review:

I did enjoy it as it was several short stories about 'nerds' and 'geeks'. Most of them were funny, witty and easy to read. I did wish that several of them would have been longer. A few of my favorites were 'The Hacked Match', 'Addie-cted', 'Classification of Nerd' and 'Girl Meets Grammarian'.

14. Every Beat Of My Heart: The Sullivans (Wedding Novella) by Bella Andre - 4 stars.

THanks!!

16. Luminous Dreams by Alexa Piper - 3 1/2 stars.

ER Book Review:

I enjoyed these nine short stores. Some of them seemed more paranormal then dream like to me but they were all entertaining. a few of my favorites were The Night Train, Nocturnal Conquests and A Raven by day. If you like erotic then I suggest you give this a try.

17. Fun & Flirty: A Four Book Box Set of Sexy Romance by Patrica Burroughs - 4 1/2 stars.

ER Book Review:

This was a great box set of 4 books. I loved the first 2 stories the most. They were all fun, quick reads with some sass and romance all combined into one. If you like romances I highly recommend this book. I will be looking for more from this author.

19. Temptation Ridge by Robyn Carr - 4 stars.

20. Paradise Valley by Robyn Carr - 4 stars.

21. Rebel Flight (Darkbeast Chronicles Book 1 by Mindy Klasky - 3 1/2 stars.

I thought this was a good book and well written. The first half of the story was a little slow but the ending was good. l do think that this is a good young adult book. I look forward to more from this author as I have read several from her and love them.

I enjoyed this fourth book in the series as much as I have enjoyed the first three of them. This one was once again a great combination of romance, mystery, a little bit of fun and of course some magic. I highly recommend this series and I suggest starting at the beginning and you will not be disappointed. I cannot wait for the next one!!

35. Deceived Box Set by Eve Carter - 3 stars.

36. Chase (American Extreme Bull Rider Tour Book 2) by Barbara Dunlop - 4 1/2 stars.

ER Book Review:

I really enjoyed this book about Chase and Maddy. It was a quick, easy and enjoyable read. I do agree that there were some editing issues that need to be addressed but with that being said I still would recommend this book. I did notice that this shows as book 2 in the American Extreme Bull Rider Tour book series and I normally do not like reading books out of order. It looks like this series has different authors and book 1 was not yet available for purchase. I am hoping this author either has done or will be doing a book about Maddy's brothers.

38. Blood Freed by Traci Douglass - 4 stars.

39. Blood Vowed by Traci Douglass - 4 stars.

ER Book Review:

I really enjoyed this third book of the Blood Ravagers series. There was a lot of action and some romance that was entertaining. I do not think you need to read the first two book in the series first but I do highly recommend it. The first two were just as good as this one.

ER Book Review:

I really enjoyed this second book in the Paradise Valley Ranch series. I did read the first one and while it is not needed to enjoy this one I recommend it. That one was also just as good.

I enjoyed this second book of the Texas Legacy series. It was a quick, easy and entertaining read. I did read the first book in the series prior to reading this one, while I do not think it is necessary to read the first one, I do recommend it. I look forward to reading the next one in the series.

ER Book Review:

I really enjoyed Shane's story in the America Extreme Bull Riders series. It was a quick and entertaining read that was hard to put down. If you are looking for a good romance with the added thrill of bull riding this is a great book and series to read. I have not had a chance to read them all and I do not think they need to be read in order. I am looking forward to going back and reading the ones I have missed.

ER Book Review:

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick, easy and very entertaining read. I laughed out load several times (good thing I was alone). I also did not realize this was a second book in the series. I plan on picking of the first one to see what that is about, but I did not feel like I was missing anything. If you are looking for a fun, easy read, I highly recommend this one.

I enjoyed this 5th book in the Family Genius Mysteries series. I love the interaction between Ana and Graham and then throw in all of her family and it makes it a very entertaining read. I have been lucky enough to read the other 4 in the series, while I do not think they have to be read in order I do highly recommend it, those ones are just as good to read.

114. Mrs. Claus: Not the Fairy Tale They Say by Rhonda Parrish - 2 stars.

ER Book Review:

I hate to say this but I had a really hard time liking this book. There were a couple of stories that I thought were okay but overall I had a hard time even finishing this book. I am not sure if it was because I could not wrap my mind around Mrs. Claus being all different kinds of characters or not.

115. The Sheriff's Christmas Angels by Debra Holt - 4 stars.

ER Book Review:

I really enjoyed this book. It was a good, sweet romance centering around love and family. If you are looking for a good Christmas romance this is definitely one to read. I did see that this was the 4th book in the Texas Lawmen series but I have not read any of the previous ones yet. I normally do like to read books in order, however I had to make an exception this time. I do not think I missed anything but do plan on going back and reading the other ones since I enjoyed this one.
