My Take What is this with the shorties? Yes, this is good. And I’m torn between ragging on about Graves putting out this tiny little taste. And then she has two more shorties — “Strings Attached” (63 pages for $2.99) and “Compromising Positions” (69 pages for $2.99); or you can save and buy all three for a mere $4.99. WTF?? A whopping 163 pages for the bargain price of $4.99. If Graves put this together as ONE short story and then sold it for $0.99 or even up to $3.99, I’d say jump on it. It’s well worth it. But it just chaps me when I feel as though I’m being screwed. I suspect I feel this way because of the come-on with this initial short. It’s like freely giving a friend a bit of heroin, and […]

Personally, I see it as a way to force their readers to part with more cash. (Yeah, they say it’s free. For now. Once they get you hooked…) The Almeidas claim it’s a way to develop and provide insight into their characters. Yeah, right. Do it in the damn book…! They also claim this contains EROTIC content. Well, yes, there is a sex scene, but nothing you won’t find in many romance novels. Just sayin’… My Take I’d consider this more of a prologue as it introduces you to the suspense of what is coming. It is really well done, which is why it gets the “5”. It still bugs me, though, that they’re forcing their readers [and me!] into buying these shorts… AA have warned that they will be referring to events/characters in these […]

I have to give it a bump up from a “3”, if only for how very knowledgeable and inspirational Metz is about life in Africa. And, hey, it’s a fun read! My Take The Good BitsThe story idea was cute, and Metz was generally accurate about the reality of Africa. Gotta give her a big thumbs up for that one. In fact, if any of you readers are considering a trip, this isn’t a bad inside look. I liked her stance on the village and how the lodge impacts village life. Very nicely delivered without being preachy. Oh, lord, I thoroughly commiserate with Zara and her first day of teaching. I was really impressed with her incentives program, LOL. Brilliant. It’s a nice cast of characters, and very few who are hate-able. Those that are, really go the distance. The romance was sweet without any great swings of drama. Embarrassing moments? Oh, yeah. […]

The series begins in 1842 with our introduction to Lola and how she “finds herself”. I received an ARC from the publisher. My Take It’s a rollicking, exuberant, melodramatic adventure in 1842 Europe with a witless Eliza Rosana Gilbert plunging into everything and anything as she flashes back into the past, remembering how she got to this cell-like room. I do adore Brennan’s descriptions as she vividly conveys Eliza’s antics and emotions — you can’t help but read with the rhythm of Eliza’s liveliness. With another of her characters, I could feel the spittle flying and kept ducking whenever his character spoke! I’m conflicted. On the one hand, I do admire “Lola” for just diving in and trying her best. As awful as that might be. Then, on the other hand, she’s a self-centered, immature, naive, overly egotistical idiot whom I simply […]
