I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

I am a huge fan of E.B. Brown. I loved her Time Walker series and was excited to read this short story! It was great to learn more of Cormaic's history and enter into Jule's world! I liked getting a few more tidbit's about Maggie and Winn. Can't wait to read more in The Harlot!

I love all of Betsy Brannon Green's books, but I really fell in love with the Haggerty series, and had no idea this was another one!  I was so excited when Miss Eugenia showed up!  She is fantastic at keeping you on your toes, and I really had no idea who it was until they told me, then it all made sense!  Hurray for another fantastic read!  Good luck putting it down!

This is another T W Brown hit!  I'm starting to think that this guy's grocery list would read like a 5 star novel.  REALLY!  With this book it is really obvious how he is able to just become his characters.  You can also tell that this is a man that knows people, he must really listen to the world around him because he is able to just nail every character I have read of his.  Ladies...This guy has been listening to us!!!!  He writes Ava as a somewhat ditzy young woman with moments of incredible, life saving clarity.  She has a problem with daydreaming at the worst possible times, like when someone is giving her vital information.  Somehow she manages to pull herself out of the situations she finds herself in.  Read this book,  REALLY.  It is one of the few non-zombie books I have read in the past year or so. (What can I say, I'm in deep, ;-))  It is such a fun lighthearted, yet oddly gory book.  I would absolutely recommend this book to everyone I know.  (Most of the men I know would enjoy it but they are also "tuff guys" so they may want this one to be left in the bathroom or garage, depending where your man hides the most, yes we do know that you hide.  From us, the kids, the in laws, when our girlfriends come over...yeah we know)  Anyway, GREAT BOOK!  Fun easy read, I'm hoping we get more of Ava.  ENJOY!

I love stories about B & B's. this one didn't disappoint me. The descriptions were wonderful. I can picture everything so clearly! And the recipes at the end were a lovely surprise!

Since there are many other excellent authors and their books are out there for you to pick up, I wouldn't think I could started and finished this book so quickly. I had a complete new reading experience from all other Dan Brown's books I had read. Cann't put is aside till I finished! It's sound scientific based descriptions and contents interacted with human intellectual imaginations and  discoveries... all those happened in such a condenced time frame. It has to be genius work. I look forward to his next new book!

Brown can never go wrong with writing characters readers love. Once again, she pulls me in with a story within a story that leaves me on the edge of my seat.

I wish this review could be longer and more detailed, but if you know how I feel about Brown's writing, then you know I don't have to say much.

We return to Kennedy's life now that she's the Queen. And it isn't all it's cracked up to be as she still faces her demons, battles the visions and must work to find the betrayer...and of course do a little work for the Unseelie King.  As luck would have it, a person from her past returns and her life is put into a whirlwind.  Thankfully for me, I like windy situations.

Lorcan, my new favorite bad boy has a chip on his shoulders and only ONE person can break it away....

As always, there is angst and a whole lot of missed moments that you wish would happen, but are grateful for the slow grind. This book is full of action, suspense, love, hate, confusion sealed with a WTF moment at the end.  Oh and did I mention Lorcan is back?

Yeah, let me know what you think of the last scene in the book <wink>.

Happy Reading!

Dan Brown does it again! Great book! Hopefully we don't have to wait so long for his next one!

This is book 4 in the Amelia Peabody series (which should definitely be read in order), and it does not lose momentum.  I love O'Malley as a narrator (which, if you've read my reviews of the other books in the series, you already know).  I really cannot say enough how much I prefer her versions to those of Barbara Rosenblat.  I do not like Rosenblat's versions at all.  They are too over the top, and not at all how I picture the characters.  O'Malley has a much better sense of the sound of the characters, in my opinion.  She makes them fun without being ridiculous. I recommend her versions highly!
The story in this book has its pluses and minuses.  One of the major pluses is the secondary romance, and the characters of "Nemo" and Enid Debenham.  I could see an entire book being written about them alone!  Amelia and Emerson are wonderful as ever, their passionate marriage is inspiration to us all!  And Ramses is back, with his usual antics, and his cat Bastet.  The mystery is definitely engaging, and the witty dialogue and wonderful comedy are present as ever.
The minuses, in my opinion, mainly revolve around the Master Criminal.  For one thing, his interest in Amelia seems to come out of nowhere.  And after a little while I found myself as annoyed as poor Emerson with Amelia's constant references to him, and her over the top dramatic reactions to his "genius."  Amelia also seemed to have developed a ridiculous rivalry with her own son in this book, getting upset with him when he figured things out before her ... which, personally, I do not think reflected her character well, in comparison with previous books.  And for a smart woman, she is a little more single minded in this story than usual.
BUT, Amelia is still Amelia, and Emerson is still Emerson, and all in all they are dear friends at this point, and I love every minute I spend with them.  This book has some of my favorite things from the series, and also some of my least favorite things. Even with the minuses, I still give it 5 starts and highly recommend it!

W.E.B Griffin may be my favorite author and this book is another reason why.  It was almost a comedy and the parallels fiction and reality are easily discernable.  Wonderful ending and so true --- if one thinks about it!

So, let me start by stating that I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Em Brown is one of those authors that tugs you deep into her world. The skillful way in which she spins her tales always leaves me wanting more, and this particular example did not disappoint. I found the two short stories to be titillating and complete, perfectly satisfying despite their short nature. Each left me eager to read more of the tales of the Chateau Debauchery. However, I was slightly disappointed in the third installation of this novel. The excerpt provided was just enough to peak my interest, but not enough to hook me. I'm always disappointed when authors utilize excerpts and cliffhangers to entice readers to make purchases, especially in a situation such as this when the writing alone would have done the job. If this were a full collection of short stories, I would have preferred it, but as is it left me feeling dissatisfied at the end. Read the first two, but if you're like me at all, I would recommend you stop there, or acquire the full novel of the third. This by no means should be interpreted as I would not recommend the book or author, as I think both are fabulous. So let me end on a positive: Em Brown's stories will never fail to entertain and stimulate and your time will never be wasted!

I have read and would read anything written by Tara Brown, TL Brown, or A E Watson or any name that she writes by. I have never read anything by her that I have not absolutely loved and thoroughly enjoyed. She is my new allw time favorite author. Both of these two books grab you right from the very beginning and you won't want to put them down!

Another excellent Dan Brown book.  I couldn't put it down - it was a very quick read and I couldn't flip the pages fast enough!  I'm not really an addictive person but once I pick up one of his books I get sucked right into the story he weaves with layers of fact with fantasy and you can't tell where one ends or the other begins.  Keep up the great work!

I love all the BDB books from J.R. Ward and this one doesn't disappoint. Lots of action and alot of info that we've been waiting for, mostly fill-in-the-blank sort of stuff about the past and how it affects their futures.  I love how the author can keep the guys egos intact while at the same time showing their softer sides without making them whiney.  I can't wait for the next book, I'm a fan for life!
