Another page turner from Natasha Brown!

The Outsiders was another great book in this series by Natasha Brown (don't worry if you didn't read any of the others, all the books in this series have a stand alone story with a common theme - shapeshifters)! This book was a definite page turner for me; I enjoyed getting to know each character and seeing how they evolve during the book. This book takes place in the Highlands of Scotland and involves selkies. It's definitely worth staying up late to finish!

Disgraced by Natasha Knight was such an amazing read!

As soon as I started this novel I knew that I was not going to be able to put it down. I was so engrossed in the storyline that I was already over half done the story before I even looked up from my kindle screen.

I never imagined that I would fall as in love with the story as I did. This novel is certainly a novel that deserves to be read as many people as possible.

Go and pick up this incredible novel for yourself today!

4/5 Stars!

This was the 4th of Sandra Brown's books that I have read.  I have several more on my shelf that are awaiting attention. This is by far my favorite of her books that I have finished. I love Brown's writing and have been enthralled by each of the stories I have read so far, but I think she has outdone herself with this one.
Breath of Scandal is engaging, suspenseful, emotional, and extremely hard to put down. Ms. Brown is an expert story teller and has filled this story with deep, interesting characters that you can't help but love or in some cases hate. You will be mesmerized by the twists and turns that leave you wanting to know more! There were several nights that this book kept me up far later than I had intended to be up!
This book is an absolute must read for Sandra Brown fans.  If you've never read Sandra Brown, this is an excellent book to start with! If you're overwhelmed by book choices, pick this one. You won't regret it.  :)

This is another success from Carly Phillips!  Her books never disappoint and her characters are always complex and interesting.  This author pulls you in form the first page and keeps you turning the pages until the last sentence.  There is plenty of sizzle, and the story, as well as the characters are interesting.
This is an author I always enjoy reading!

I am a huge fan of Sandra Brown. Most of her books, I can't put down until I finish reading them. This was another good read by Ms. Brown. Another page turner! Somehow, Sandra Brown writes her books in such a way, that I can actually imagine myself in these towns that she describes, imagine the people, the environments. I love that her books draw me in like that. They feel so life like to me. I have been reading Sandra Brown since I was in high school, and she is undoubtably one of my favorite authors.

Point Blank is my second Justine Avery book in as many days and I can't get enough of her writing! She is an exciting writer who keeps her readers on their toes throughout the entire story. Taking this journey with Steven seemed so life like, which made the twists throughout the book feel even more real, something that I haven't felt from a writer in a long time. Each of the characters is eerily similar to people that I know in real life, Avery is truly fantastic at developing characters in such a short amount of time, I can't wait to see what she is able to do when she finally writes a long novel!

I was excited to get the chance to read Lisa Regan's novel "Hold Still" - crime thrillers are a genre I enjoy but have neglected recently, and I hadn't yet read any of her novels.

This book hooked me in right away and didn't let me go until the very last page. Any mother would be sympathetic to Jocelyn Rush's actions at the beginning of the book, when her daughter (more to the story there) is abducted during a carjacking. Her stint in the ER following that carjacking leads to learning of another recent crime, which leads into the rest of the story.

This isn't a simple, straightfoward thriller. Author Lisa Regan provides a lot of background to her characters, Jocelyn in particular. Regan adds in a lot of details, but without a wasted word. Everything ties together by the end, even things that seem minor and inconsequential when you first encounter them (which is wonderful, because loose ends in standalone novels drive me nuts). Even though everything is resolved by the end, I'm really hoping Regan revisits  these characters in the future - I'd love to see her start a series of books based on what happens near the end of the story with Jocelyn and Anita.

I definitely plan to check out her other two books, and keep my eyes open for future novels!

I received this ebook complimentary for review purposes; all opinions are 100% my own.

I'm a big fan of Susan Brown (and her pen name novels written as Stephanie Browning) and this book did not disappoint me. I love the way the author brings the characters to life, and allows the reader to become so involved in the story the rest of the world can just wait. I don't like to give reviews that give away plot lines or any spoilers...only because I don't like seeing them myself.  So, I will just say this author knows how to write a great story that will hold your interest and keep you reading to the end!!

I loved this continuing story of Anna and Prince, another funny and exciting read! Can't wait to see where this story leads. This author has become a favourite with her ability to captivate a reader with her unique style and fabulous content.

Natalie Dashwood is the heiress to a UK Department Store who, not surprisingly, loves to shop. With Dashwood and James on the verge of bankruptcy, Natalie is not only forced to give up her shopping addiction, but she is required to work to save it (the horror)! It's a good thing Rhys Gordon, the brilliant business man hired by her grandfather to get the department store back in shape, is so darn sexy. Or is it? Natalie nor Rhys can deny that their chemistry is off the charts, but they butt heads on just about everything. Trying to keep her family business afloat and curtail her spending habits is challenging enough but add blackmail and a persistent ex-boyfriend to the table and all bets are off!

If you like Sophie Kinsella, I highly recommend you give this book (and Katie Oliver) a try. Prada and Prejudice reads like British chicklit and I was shocked to learn that the author is actually as American as apple pie. Natalie was as endearing a main character as Becky Bloomwood, Rhys was as sexy and brooding as any Kinsella hero, and the banter between the two (and all of the other characters) was lively and witty and I enjoyed every minute of this book. There were several interesting sub plots as well which is a nice set up for the other two books in the series: Love and Liability and Mansfield Park. I have added both to my TBR. Katie Oliver is an author to watch and I'll be watching.

As usual Christina Ross sucks you right in and you're hooked, causing loss of sleep because you have to keep reading!  In this story we get to catch up with our favorite characters Alex, Jennifer, and the divoon Blackwell. We see Brock, who we met in the last book, and are introduced to the ambitious Madison and her psychic roommate Rhonda. Blackell is her usual demanding self when she hires Madison as her new assistant and warns her away from Brock. So of course the sparks fly. I can't wait for the next book and I hope we learn more about Rhonda in the future!
I received a copy of this book for my honest review

I've read all of Brown's books, and this one definitely did not disappoint!  The twists and turns kept me engulfed until the end and my heart racing as I turned each page!  My only criticism is that the theme is very similar to the other Robert Langdon books.  Not being a world traveler, it's hard to visualize much of what's going on in the books.  And, Langdon's having to cure a world crisis by solving a series of clues, while being what we came to love about Brown, is a bit mundane at times.  That being said, Inferno is a great read that will not disappoint Brown's fans, and will open their eyes to some fascinating - and downright scary - truths!

If you are looking for an edge of your seat, up all night reading, suspenseful romance; then look no further, Mean Streak by Sandra Brown should be your next read! With endless twists and turns, this book reminded me of one of my all-time favorites, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.

This is the type of read where you must question everything, dissect every line, and be cautious not to be tantalized by the low hanging fruit. Moreover, it makes the passion all the more decadent and raw, when you're constantly questioning the characters' mores and motivations, making your heart and passion fall for what should be forbidden and undoubtedly what common sense tells you to be wary of. But in fiction like in life, you can't help who you fall in love with. Sandra Brown is a wiz at this writing style, which is one of my all-time favorites.

Dr. Emory Charbonneau, is in a relatively loveless marriage. A pediatrician and marathon runner, she is a Type A personality who approaches everything in life with her incredible drive and motivation. The fact that she is heiress also allows her to support numerous charitable causes and she is very well liked and respected in the community.

When she disappears on a mountain road in North Carolina, while training alone for a marathon, it launches a massive manhunt. Bad weather conditions, however, make finding her difficult, and form the perfect excuse, or is it motivation, for the loner who finds her to keep her in his secluded cabin.

The authorities question why Emory's husband, Jeff, took so long to report her missing. Soon motives abound, but they still can't find her due to the inclement weather. Emory, in turn, suffering from blunt head trauma, which may have been caused by a fall or something more nefarious, doesn't know what to think when she gains consciousness and believes herself to be the captive of a man who can, at best, be described as a conundrum. Violent and yet clearly kind to her, and secretive to the point of even refusing to disclose his name, while yet inspiring her to spill her secrets. She's drawn to him and wants to trust him, and yet she's determined to escape him.

An even more imminent threat is revealed, and Emory joins forces with the mysterious man who soon has her questioning her own sense of right and wrong and causing her to engage, in arguably criminal behavior. The traumatic experience that they share, and the culmination of numerous days spent with this enticing, perplexing stranger, cause her emotions to be so exposed and their joint intensity is so overwhelming, that their shared passion is inevitable. But the next day, the cold stranger returns and deposits her back to her old life. Leaving her to explain the unexplainable and potentially leaving her in the cross hairs of an even graver danger.

I already knew the genius of Sandra Brown's writing. Mean Streak, in fact, was the book that I was looking forward to the most of all the August releases. Delightfully, Ms. Brown continues to deliver 5-star reads, and Mean Streak is no exception, that's why she's earned a place on my auto-buy list!
