Another great book by Clay!

Focusing his sometimes dark view of the world on a younger audience might have been a misstep, but this was a great success!  Wholeheartedly recommend!

Clay is back! If you remember from Unjust Punishment, Clay was sentenced to serve as a Texas Ranger for two years. His first assignment is to track down the ruthless outlaw, Aaron Hammershield. This story revolves around Clay's quest to bring Hammershield to justice. But as usual, Clay finds himself in situations out of his control; especially when he meets Loralie Benson, a sassy strong-willed redhead from Cinch Mountain, Kentucky who is on a mission of her own. A book that I  found full of action and surprises. Jared's Clay Brentwood books are becoming one of my favorite series to read.

Great book tackling a very tough subject. Love the way this author isn't afraid to dig into the deep stuff and tell it like it is and also show the path to healing.  I can't wait for Julia's Journey to be released. This is my third book by Ms Lowe and I'm very impressed!

Loved this story!  What a testament to patience, love and understanding.  The sacrifice Clay made breaks my heart for him. I didn't expect to be so touched by the connection he and Aria share.

I just got Learning to Sing this morning and have already read

the whole book - it has been a long time since a book has made

me laugh out loud and a moment later almost made me cry.  Even

if you are not a Clay Aiken fan this is a book that feels like

a good friend is talking to you - what wisdom this young man

has.

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone.  I came away

with even more admiration for Clay and the strong people in his

life. A wonderful read!

Just got my copy of Polymer Clay Gemstones and I am quite impressed.  The book is full of techniques and projects not shown in most polymer clay books.  The step by step instructions and excellent pictures are very easy to follow.  This book has achievable projects for the beginning polymer clay artist and at the same time features stunning new types of Faux projects to keep veteran artists interested as well.  A bonus is the delightful story carried throughout the book.  Whether you are a "newbie" or a veteran clayer you will love this book.

Ohhh these men in this series are so swwooonnnn worthy. You read about Clay in the start of all Brady's books... and his relationship with Andrea is discussed and talked about in the other books, so I'm exceptionally happy to finally get their story.

Clay and Andrea have been friends for so long, having an extremely unconventional relationship. This book details the games they play along with their feelings for one another. Clay has always been a player, and Andrea has always been acting as though his man-whoreish ways didn't really bother her... but in all reality, they always have affected her in some way. Can she continue to hide her feelings, or make an exception that Clay is just not ready for.

I loved this book. I hope that we get Chris or Savi's book next. Bravo...

Oh, Clay. *swoony eyes and flaily hands* Hope(less) is one of my go-to reads when I'm having a rough day. It's fun and sweet and Clay and Gabby make me happy. Getting into Clay's head and seeing how their relationship progresses through his eyes was something I was looking forward to.

It didn't disappoint.

Clay isn't perfect. He acts on instinct and his instinct isn't always right (although it often ends up working out okay) when it comes to dealing with a human girl who's a little damaged and a lot untrustworthy. Clay doesn't understand Gabby's problems with men (her draw on them is downright freaky and really sad because it isolates her from nearly everyone around her in one way or another), he just knows he doesn't like her around anyone who could try to place a claim on her.

On her end, Gabby doesn't explain much of what's going on in her head. She's upset that this situation was forced on her and it takes her a LONG time to realize how she feels about Clay. Long time. Especially for poor Clay who only wants to cherish and protect her. Honestly, seeing Gabby's actions without the framework of her past experiences makes her seem a wee bit heartless.

I totally applaud Clay's dedication given that he doesn't know any of the things she's experienced in the past to cause her to have all those defensive walls.

Bottom line: I'm totally down with getting into the head of the other men who are the chosen of the Six. Clay might have stolen my heart first, but all the guys are sweethearts under their fur.

I'm so glad that Clay finally got to choose his own songs for this album. They are all beautiful, and Clay's glorious voice brings each song to life. A must-have!

Grant's book is filled with amazing photos of techniques and finished works that will inspire any artist.  As a how-to book, this one is not for beginners.  Grant has many advanced techniques so if you've been working with clay for awhile, or have taken work shops with him, you will appreciate this book.  For the rest of the polymer clay world, read and drool over the fabulous photos and use it as inspiration to reach higher in your craft!

Loving The Rain by Jeff LaFerney is the first book in the Clay & Tanner Thomas novels.  This book and series is a must read for anyone who loves well written, suspense-filled stories with plot twists/turns and heartfelt emotions.  I have to begin by saying that I read the author's books out of order because each book, although tied to each other, can be read as a stand alone novel.  (I love that about this series because I have just discovered that I personally dislike cliffhangers!)

Clay Thomas seems to have it all - a beautiful wife of 20 years, a handsome and talented son, a wonderful job and a secret supernatural power.  But, life can change in an instant and the smallest action or inaction can set in motion a sequence of events that can change someone's life forever.  Will Clay's power prove to be a blessing or a curse? I guess you will have to read Loving The Rain to find out!

My thoughts - I loved that this book and storyline is original and the author keeps you guessing as to what the final outcome of the story will be.  He also ties up any loose ends and the story blends together extremely well.  The only element that I had a hard time with is all the sports jargon.  I know it is necessary for the dynamics of the story but for me, it was a little too much.
Even having said that I still give this book 5/5 stars - check it out!!

Anything with Clay is bound to be sexy, dirty and delicious! And A Wildly Seductive Night does not disappoint.

We see Clay the businessman, husband, father, best friend and lover. Clay is hot as the tender lover but absolutely scorching as the dirty lover.

Julia is such a strong woman and we see her as businesswoman, "cock-tale" inventor, mom, best friend, and lover.

I enjoyed my little foray into Clay and Julia's marriage and loved their little family, as well as the knowledge that, though they've been married for several years, they are still as passionate as ever.

I enjoy this authors books so much, they are easy to understand and detailed. Each book I have acquired has given me new information which makes me a very happy camper! So many times I have found books that repeat the same over and over except the end product is to look different. I have been an artist all my life but now late in life I am finally getting around to some 3D creations. Playing with the clay is therapeutic. Great book.

I'm so in lust with Clay right now. That man is pure sex on a stick. Lord have mercy I think I'd let him tie me up for weeks at a time. Can you say HOT!!! The poor guy is totally hooked on Julia. All he wants is her and honesty. I just wish she would tell him the truth about Charlie and the poker playing. He could totally help her and I think he would protect her with his life. But I see her side too. She had kept this secret from those she loves to protect them. She doesn't want Charlie to come after her loved ones. But now she's pushed Clay away by not telling him the truth. Such a great story line! I want more now I do t think I cam wait until May.

Lynn Kurland puts out another good book for us all to enjoy!  Derrick and Samantha gave us a mystery to solve, and I felt that Derrick was a strong, solid hero.  He was definitely in charge!  Samantha comes off as a bit of a wimp at first, but she steps into her own and its fun to watch the development there.  I also enjoyed seeing Cam, Sunny and Oliver again.  I actually think I'd like to see Oliver get his own story!

Playboy Clay from book one decides to take a vacation from his super stressful job only to find himself falling for a woman he should avoid like the plague because she comes with commitments and can't simply be his vacation affair. He tries to make himself stay away from Tate and her young son, Max, but keeps being drawn back in. When danger shows up on her doorstep, he ignores the fact that he is on vacation. He puts on his badge and steps up to he'll solve the case. Tate is a part of a big Irish family, and I loved all the family members who were added in to make this a great story. Max is super funny and totally makes the story. When his life is threatened, Clay realizes this little family is his, and he will do whatever it takes to protect them.  I really loved this story.

Oh my goodness!! I love the Judgement of The Six series, but now Melissa Hagg has done it again, writing another awesomely amazing book "Clay's Hope", which is the first in the Companion Series...this time we get to actually find out what sweet, quiet Clay was actually thinking and let me tell you, it's a not stop hilarious 'oh no you did not just think/do that' riot!! I love it, I love it, I  love it... need I say anymore? I can't wait for the next book....yea!!
