Ginger Scott outdid herself!

Holy shhhh! I thought that Wild Reckless was good, but this one is definitely better! Gaaah. The author outdid herself with this book! Well developed characters and a roller coaster of emotions! What a book! What I liked most about this book is, it has just the right amount of angst, and it was appropriate (unlike the others I've read that it angsty just because) I wasn't able to put this down and continued reading it until my eyes hurt! Will be reading more of Ginger Scott's books!

I loved this book! It was fun to follow Freddy on his rise from obscurity to major rock & roll star. Along the way, we are introduced to numerous other superstars from the 50's, 60's, 70's & 80's. I don't want to give anything away, but the Elvis appearances are priceless! An interesting and exciting read.

I had doubts when I began this book.  I ended up being surprised.  This book has blown me away.  I have enjoyed reading all of Ginger Scott's books, but this one, by far, is my favorite.  It had me laughing.  It had me crying.  I LOVED it.

I picked up Scott's book and found it had just enough twists and turns to keep me thoroughly confused and wondering what the heck would happen next!  Thoroughly enjoyable and I am hoping Scott will do a second with more adventures of Nathan and Cassandra!

If you are a fan of Rachel Sweet, you will be thrilled to hear Rachel's final two original LPs at long last digitally remastered on CD! The sound is crisp, clear, and truly exceptional!

Each time I hear this amazing talent, I am both shocked and confused as to why she never really made it "big," and also as to why no other current rockers have evered covered any of her highly poetic, original songs?

If you are new to Rachel's music, this is perhaps the BEST CD to buy, as it highlights a wide range of this wonderfully versatile performer's endlessly creative talent.

Five Stars from beginning to end!

I saw Melody Gardot performing on "Later, with Jools Holland" the other day and was blown away by her performance and the song she was singing.  I immediately purchased "My One And Only Thrill" and was not disappointed.  I don't know how I've missed hearing her over the last few years, but better late than never!  Her songs sound as if they have always existed, and her performances are flawless.  The music is easy-going but still a challenge to the listener.  Clever lyrics and beautiful melodies, with arrangements that are perfect for the songs.  I can't wait to explore her other work.  Read her biography and you will be inspired by her triumph over serious injuries which still plague her, but don't keep her from expressing herself beautifully as a singer and songwriter.

Shelby Lynne shows with Just a Little Lovin' again that less can be more.
She gives songs from the Dusty Springfield-songbook and songs inspired by Dusty a very surprising twist. It's very impressive how she creates an atmosphere that really grabs you by the throat. She uses a minimum of orchestration for this. Never before I heard "Anyone who had a Heart" (track 2) so full with withhold emotion. To start "You don't have to say you love me" (track 3) a capella is unique.
The combination of Producer Phil Ramone and Shelby Lynne works perfect on the material. The self-written "Pretend" (track 9) fits perfect between the other songs.
For me this album already is the best album of the year 2008!

This book was amazing and inspiring! Shows that anyone can be family love you even when you don't love them back or think you don't deserve it. This book kept me on my toes and I kept wondering what was going to happen next. I fell in love with the characters and felt like I was with them in the story. I am so excited to read the next book and can not wait to find out what happens next!!  Ginger King is a great writer and has a great imagination!!  Ready for more stories with Ginger king!

Blindness is one of those tough books to rate and review. It's going to be hard to explain without giving too much away, but I'll try.

I love Ginger Scott's writing. I'm always pulled into her stories. They're often filled with tough topics and intense situations. Ms. Scott knows how to take those tough situations and make them very relatable to the reader.

In Blindness, Ms. Scott thrusts us into the world of a young woman who thinks she knows what love is. Charlie knows she feels safe and happy with Trevor. She loves him. Charlie also knows she feels a connection to Cody. He's exactly the opposite of what Charlie's looking for, but she can't help be drawn to him when he understands things Trevor doesn't. It puts Charlie in a position of having to make tough choices about what she needs and wants in her life.

It's Charlie's decisions throughout the story that made me question what my rating of Blindness would be. I hated her actions. Everything she did bothered me. She made me feel uncomfortable and angry. It was frustrating because Ms. Scott's writing was so good that I could empathize with Charlie even though I didn't like what was going on. How do you rate a book with a main character like that?

Well, I acknowledged that I don't have to like everything that goes on in a book for it to be worthy of a high rating. Because when it comes down to it, Blindness made me do something I want all books to do. It made me think and it made me feel. It made me examine my own thoughts on love and relationships. I may not have fallen in love with Charlie, but not all books can be rainbows and unicorns, right?

Would I recommend Blindness? The answer is yes. Readers have to be willing to maybe be uncomfortable at times, but in the end it will pay off. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with a Ginger Scott book.

I had never heard of this wonderful talent until I got the newest edition of vibe magazine the other day and read an article about her.  I logged on, and sampled her music then went straight to the record stoe.  I haven't  taken her cd out of my player yet, and don't intend to anytime soon.  Her  music is what I've been searching for for so long.  She seems like a  beautiful person, down to earth.  The cd is smooth, soothing, relaxing, and  the lyrics are incredible. This is the best cd I've purchased this year so  far.  Thank you Ms. Jill Scott!

This is my first Ginger Scott read and I'm happy to say that I will definitely be looking into her previous and future books.

Ms Scott really gives good BBF and had me laughing and "aww"ing at the adorable hero and his sweet, bumbly ways. Houston should be template 101 for how to write a funny, patient, persistent and heartbreaking beta hero and although his situation and background isn't really my usual taste in BBF material, the author still made him pull me into his cutie patootie/heartbreakingly sad vortex.

The heroine Paige was a barely tolerable b! tch at the beginning and although I haven't yet read book 1 & 2, I can see that the author was trying to keep her true to her character without any fluffy rainbow excuses or apologies. This, I totally respect and give major props to but will admit at times, I did wanna throw rocks at Paige for being such a pain. But in saying that, this h's character was so well fleshed out that I really was rooting for her throughout the story.

All in all, big thumbs up on this enjoyable and addictive read.

Dual POV and standalone novel in a series.

This is the first book I read by Amber Scott and it got me addicted to her books.  The concept was so fresh that I could not put it down!  I was so excited to discover that there will be more novels to come in this series and they will all focus on a different character instead of doing the typical forced roller  coaster so many authors use as a way to keep a series going.  This book can easily be a stand alone, so do not let the fact that their is more to come dissuade  you.

Let me start by saying this story is amazing. I am a huge fan of sports themed romances, and no one does them better than Ginger Scott. She knows what she is writing about, she just GETS it and I love that!

Olivia Valentine has returned home due to bad circumstances. She does not want to be there and her family does not seem to thrilled to have her back. Liv only plans on working at her parent's gym to make some money, escape for a while and to try and get back on her feet. What she didn't plan on was meeting Memphis Delaney.

Memphis is a boxer, chasing dreams and the ghost of his father, submerging himself in the boxing world. A broken soul fighting his way to the top, training day in and day out. When he first sees Liv, he knows his world is about to change.

I don't want to give anything away about this story. What I can tell you is that it has this gritty, REAL feel to it. I love that Ginger Scott takes chances and writes about characters other than those with the perfect fairy tale life. Her characters have flaws, they are struggling and you do feel for them. Even the supporting characters, are very memorable even though they are undesirable at times. The story is a slow burn with lots of heart and second chances. An amazing story that will have you rooting for Memphis to win his fight and to win Olivia's heart.

DISCLAIMER: The following review was originally posted on my book blog The Book Challengers (link in bio).

Oh my. Emma Scott did it again. I had my doubts about Theo and Kacey at first, about how their grief could and would make them a couple only because the other one was *there* at the right time and no real feelings would develop between the two...

But my fears did not come true as Scott showed us how Theo helped Kacey overcome her grief by being her friend. They were friends for the longest time and while it was kind of inevitable that they would end up together, I loved the journey there. While it it wasn't Mariana Zapata's kind of a slow burn romance, it definitely qualifies as a romance that shows you how two people are really getting to know each other as people first and only then, sometime later do they discover that they also would like to have some fun between (or on) the sheets.

The second part of the Full Tilt duet has a lot less angst, it isn't as bittersweet, but it still has these moments where even a coldhearted reader like myself thinks to herself that parts of this book are beyond sad and there is a hint of a possible tear in the corner of her eye. Luckily it isn't all about angst and sadness and grief, it's also about healing. About coming to grips with the fact that Jonah is gone forever and everyone has to go on with their lives.

There is hope at the end of the dark tunnel.

It isn't easy for the dead guy's girlfriend and brother to become a couple. First, there's the fact that Kacey is mourning for Jonah. Her coping mechanism might not be the best one out there, but luckily we have the lovable and kind of adorable Theo to help her. Ah, Theo.. The poor guy has been in love with Kacey for so long and he feels so guilty for having his feelings. But fear not! Scott does not make it something cheesy and messy, the way she wrote this story was simply believable and lovely and heart-warming! Friends to lovers is a great trope and Scott managed it excellently.

Silly me, thought I had bought the best cds for 2000.  Then along came Jill Scott. This has got to be the best cd I bought this  year.  Jill  Scott has skillz. Listeners, be prepared to be fully satisfied. Jill Scott  combines spoken word and vocals over smooth, groove tracks with a taste of  jazzy hip hop - see # 15 Watching Me. She may remind you of Erykah Badu and  Meshell N'degeocello but she definately has her own style. Her highly  expressive poetry along with her ability to manipulate her voice from  soulful seduction to the sticato verse in Love Rain (#11) is like a trip  through the pages of this young woman's journal entries, hence the cd tilte  Who is Jill Scott? If you don't purchase this cd you will never never know.
