Book Quote: On Every Street - Karina Halle

New 50 shades trailer and poster!

Oh my! Hot new trailer and poster just came out earlier. Add to that the season of Jamie Dornan's The Fall TV series!

Off the Record by K.A. Linde

The story is about a secret affair between a college reporter and an elected senator running for higher office.

I felt Hayden and Liz's connection though. But the burning passion isn't there. It couldn't be conjured even with their perfect situation.

In the opposite is what Liz have with Brady. The connection is questionable but the lust and the passion is off the charts. What they have started with lust and it ended with love. I felt Liz's love for Brady but I couldn't feel the same from him.

I started reading this book earlier this month but then I stopped because it wasn't doing it for me. It felt dragging and I kept dozing off. I went back to it just this weekend after reading another book about the life of JFK Jr. I couldn't help but picture him as Brady, with his good looks and history. It was so sad how his life ended so abruptly. Anyway, I went back to this book soon after and I started liking it. I mean there were still moments that I read through quickly and just browsed it, but I was hooked with Brady and Liz's interactions. I loved them together but it wasn't enough.

Near the end of the book I was already rooting for them but I was pretty pissed with Brady. Now I can't wait to read book 2!

Fairy Tale Interrupted by Rosemarie Terenzio

The story of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette is so interesting but oh so sad as their love story ended so abruptly. This book made me want to read through other biographies of JFK Jr.

My only issue was that I thought the book would only focus on the famous couple. But there were parts that focus on the story of the author who happened to be the couple's most trusted assistant for 5 years.

This will not be the last book that I will read about the famous and beautiful couple.

Rusty Nailed by Alice Clayton

This is the continuation of Simon and Caroline's wacky story.

It was so fun to catch up with them plus their whole gang.

There wasn’t a dull moment in the story. It was light and funny. There were minor issues that they easily resolved. I didn’t think I could love Simon even more. It was also so refreshing that they decided to move forward with their relationship. Can't wait to read their next step!

I also enjoyed the Clive POV at the end.

Adultery by Paulo Coelho

Sadly, this book couldn't hold my interest. It was dull and had heavy words. It also didn’t help that the issues of the heroine are so petty. I really couldn't fathom her reasons for committing adultery. Add to that the arrogant and selfish man of her recent affections. Her husband was so loving that her actions are so unacceptable. How can a woman who have it all be so petty with her reasons. I really couldn't take it. This book isn't for me.

Sweet Addiction and Sweet Possession by J. Daniels

If you want to read a book with lots and lots of sex, then this book is for you.

The book is about a one night stand that turned into something serious when they least expect it.

I read through the whole 2 books quickly, basically just browsing it as it couldn't hold my interest. The whole book is about the back and forth of the two main characters, denying feelings for each other. Though the hero's feelings are already pretty obvious, the heroine was stubbornly denying it. So it was a bit frustrating. I'm just not a fan of relationships with communication issues. I would rather read about more angsty stuff. However, if you've just read something heavy, this book is the perfect breather.

For those who want a light story with lots of hot sex this is the book for you.

Landline - Rainbow Rowell

The story is about a married couple with two kids caught up with balancing family and work life. The mother suddenly has a career breakthrough having an effect on their holiday plans that became the last straw in fixing their marriage. While the husband is not as successful in his career as his focus is their family.

The story brings us back to how their love story started and how they resolved their issues in the past.

There was a small amount of paranormal feel to it. This is my only issue with the story. But overall I  still liked the book. It gives us lessons on resolving marriage issues.

Everytime I Think of You - Tracey Garvis Graves

This is a beautiful heartfelt story of second chances and forgiveness.

This is the story of Brooks and Daisy plus Elliott. Oh how I loved Elliott! Brooks and Daisy are also lovable and likable characters.

This story is about how a crime investigation reporter fell for the subject of his report. While the heroine learns to survive her loss and divorce. The plot is a combination of crime and romance.

I loved the slow pacing of their love story. How their connection was slowly built and how Elliott stole the story with his cuteness. I also loved Daisy, she's frank and upfront and doesn't act like a doormat despite her circumstances. She is resilient and she knows how to handle herself.

I also loved Brooks but there was one instance when I felt frustrated with him. Though he quickly redeemed himself and so I loved him even more. What he did for Daisy and Elliott is so admirable.

There wasn’t a dull moment when I was reading this book. It was slow paced yet it captures your interest. It also helped that the characters were lovable. This is highly recommended. Then again there isn't a Tracey Garvis Graves book that I didn't like.
