I'm a 36 year old quadriplegic from a diving accident. I love reading and watching movies from the 30's and 40's.

  • A Helping of Love
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This book was just simply beautifully written. It was such an emotional book on so many levels. First there was Peter, who is in a wheelchair after an accident that happened three years ago. The feelings he has of feeling invisible or of people thinking of him as unsuitable because of the chair were spot on. As a wheelchair user myself I felt some of my own insecurities in how other people saw him. That Mr. Grey wrote a character that doesn't start miraculously walking as soon as someone noticed him was such an added bonus and a little ray of hope that maybe there are people that don't care about such things as a wheelchair.

    Russ was such a strong character to be able to walk away from such an abusive relationship and still be able to see love when it was offered by Peter. You could actually see him becoming stronger as the story progressed. That he had such a supportive group of friends was also nice to see.

    Then there was Peter dealing with his feeling for his sister that was such a tear-jerker in a good way. Be sure to have a couple hankies handy while reading this story cause you'll really need them. I encourage everyone to read this book and the two proceeding it, you won't be disappointed. And hopefully come away with a new respect for this wonderful author. ”

  • A Cowboy In Ravenna
    • Rated 2 stars

    “This one really confused me. It was like thoughts jumped around or weren't finished, I'm not sure what it was about it that just seemed off. The claiming scene was ...I don't think brutal is the right word, maybe extremely rough for a 19 year old virgin. I just didn't "feel " this book cause it was so different from the rest of the series. And really...Trin knows the two kids? They just happen to be from the same small town in Montana and are in the same small town in Italy? I usually love Jan Irving's books, but this time I was left shaking my head.”

  • Good Bones
    • Rated 4 stars

    “I'm always on the look-out for a good shifter book and this one really delivered. What made it even better is that I had never read anything by Kim Fielding so not only did I have a good times reading this book, but I found a new author to follow. I liked Dylan and the fact that he was moving out to the country to keep everyone safe and live what he thought would be a lonely life was so heartbreaking. But of course he meets Chris, the just so lovable red-neck, and finds that maybe life doesn't have to be so lonely after all. Of course life isn't perfect, especially when the man responsible for turning Dylan shows up and causes some major problems. You wouldn't think that Dylan and Chris would make a good couple since they're so different but I think that is exactly what makes them the perfect couple. Can't wait to read more from this author and hope more people discover her books.”

  • Yearning
    • Rated 3 stars

    “I'm so divided about this book cause I really liked Tesgue and Jack and I liked the beginning of this book, but once they went to Green's Hill I was completely lost. I didn't know this was a spin-off series and frankly I have no desire to read the other series so I'm not sure where that leaves me in regards to the rest of this series. ”

  • The Skeleton Picnic: A J.D. Books Mystery (J. D. Books Mysteries)
    • Rated 3 stars

    “I lived in the southern part of Utah at Lake Powell for awhile and reading this book and the descriptions of the scenery brought it all back of how beautiful that area of the country is. The story of the locals digging for Native American artifacts is a real issue that I've dealt with although, thankfully, never to this degree. Of course this is the second in a series that I didn't even know existed until I read this book, but I'll be sure to go back and read the first one (On Deadly Ground) now. The only problem I had with the book was the amount of characters. It seemed like every couple of pages we were meeting new people- even the last chapter there were two new people. ”

  • Sacrificial Magic
    • Rated 5 stars

    “I really have absolutly nothing but good words for this series. Each book just keeps getting better and better and I have no idea how that happens, because each book is outstanding. When I first started reading this series I didn't think I was going to like it because I found the Downside language kinda confusing but the more you read the easier it is to understand. And besides who doesn't love Terrible? I mean come on...rough sexy man. This book was a perfect follow up and I can't wait til the next one comes out. ”

  • A Perfect Storm
    • Rated 3 stars

    “While I really like this series and all the books have been really good I must say that I didn't like this book as much as the previous ones. I just didn't like Arizona all that much. I mean she's suppose to be this kick-ass 21 year old woman with a horrible past, but to me she came off as a bratty 12 year old who uses her past as an excuse to go off and do dangerous things by herself because she thinks she doesn't deserve anything else. I understand her history with human traffickers and prostitution makes her leery of men but she acted as if she knew nothing of what goes on between two people or why two people would even want to be together. And Spencer must have the patience of a saint to put up with her and the stuff she pulls. I did like the idea of Spencer being brought into the company with the other guys and hopefully there will be others brought in. With the way the book ended it sounds like there will be a follow up. These books definitely need to be read in order to get the full effect.”

  • Chase in Shadow
    • Rated 5 stars

    “When I first started reading this I was sure I wasn't going to like it (even though it's by the fabulous Amy Lane) because a huge part of the story is about cheating. But really in this instance I think to really understand Chase and his struggles there had to be that story line. Poor Chase was such a troubled man that knew what he really wanted , but was sure he couldn't have it. When he takes such drastic measures to "fix" his life I began to see a man who was so upset with his choices in life that he'd rather slit his wrist then own up to anything. The last 1/3 of the book was so heart-wrenching it made me tear up in quite a few places. The strength he gets from Tommy was a beautiful thing to read. Once I finished I went back and reread the first chapter and realized once again what a wonderful writer Ms. Lane truly is. I think anyone who loves romance will love this book. Hopefully some of the other guys in this book will also get a HEA. They deserve it and I definitely want to read about it!”

  • Much Ado About Rogues
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Wow, what a way to end the series! All along Jack has been this dark, mysterious man who we know very little about, but in this book we got to see who the man was behind the mask, so to say. As the middle of three bastard sons of a Marquis, Jack leaves home and begins working for the Crown doing the dirty work not too many others could do. Here he is sent after the man who was his mentor and is met with the man's daughter, Tess who he once thought himself in love with. They end up working together to try to unravel the mystery of her father's disappearance and find that after four years apart their attraction for each other has only grown stronger. Along the way they learn quite a few secrets that impact the way they see everyone around them and each other.

    I liked that we finally got to see Jack as a real person and that he wasn't the bad man his family thought he was. Tess was the right fit for him and her little surprise made him an even more approachable character. The action was just enough to keep it moving along and the romance was perfect. I wouldn't mind a spin-off series from this so I could see what's up with Will.”

  • Artistic Pursuits
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Another beautiful installment to the Bottled Up series. I know I say this about each new book, but this really is my favorite so far. Its really easy to say that each of these books just keeps getting better and in this case its true.

    In this book we meet Frank, a FBI agent who is given a case of stolen Tiffany windows and Leslie, an agent from Interpol who just happens to be in the US on a similar case. They meet, they work the case, and of course they act on their attraction. What made this book so great was the pull the two felt for each other, but their thinking things can't work out because the little problem of living on different continents. They make you root for their HEA because deep down you KNOW they belong together. I loved when they finally figured this out too. And as always we were given a glimpse of past characters, Nicolai and Brian and introduced to new ones as well.

    I can't recommend this series enough. Try it, you'll love it.”
