The author really brought life in to each character in a way that had me completely invested. Great story telling kept me up each night. I loved the emotion throughout the book and the twists and turns that made it a page turner.

I greedily wanted to consume this book all in one sitting! Thankfully I chose to luxuriate in it! Every day I would read a few poems and just sit with the glorious visions that Cross had so easily placed into my mind. "Lightning Bug" made my heart smile and recollect my own childhood spent chasing the glowing bugs for hours. Although the short stories at the end are brilliantly fantastic, I was sad to have finished the book. Already waiting for another!

I shouldn't be laughing but I am.  Curl up and get ready for the best, most delicious guilty pleasure!  Part ghost story, part sexy romp, part hilarious dramedy, part historical novel, there's so much going on it makes your head spin in the best possible way.  I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this tale of a single girl's woes with a broken marriage, a hot romantic prospect, and a house that's haunted by lovelorn ghosts from a bygone era.  Winner!

What comes after reading "What Comes After Crazy" is an incredible sense of satisfaction and delight.  Sandi Shelton obviously knows how to live and laugh and make great lemonade no matter how many lemons life hands her.  Yes, I know it is fiction -- and I've read Shelton's magazine essays, so I'm pretty sure this is not what her actual life is like (and they're funny too!) -- but she obviously has insights about truth and what matters and how to get through "stuff" and still laugh and love people and like your life.  This is a hilariously funny book that had my bookgroup laughing out loud, sharing all kinds of confessions and staying up way too late!  We can't wait till her next book comes out ....

the book is as delectable as the recipes....what pure joy it was to read this blissfully, enticing journey to a wondrous area.  Ann's writing was superb.  To anyone who travels vicariously through books, loves the Caribbean, food, cultural differences, and sailboats absolutely  must read this book and if none of the above apply, read it anyway....you won't regret it!

To me, there is nothing better than to finish a book and feel so overwhelmingly satisfied that you grin like a fool for hours afterwards, and this is exactly how Anywhere made me feel! Being a huge fan of J. Meyers' YA paranormal series, Intangible, I jumped at the chance to read Anywhere when given the opportunity. Anywhere is J's first New Adult contemporary novel, and she absolutely nailed her debut! I LOVE this book so much!

Skye is the protagonist of this novel and she's funny, relatable and honest. I enjoyed experiencing everything through her perspective, especially since her journey takes place in Europe! The book opens with Skye just beginning her big backpacking trip through Europe. Her trip may seem like she's running away from her problems back in America, but really this is an important journey of self-discovery and learning what she really needs and wants out of life--this is something that will really resonate with the reader, in my opinion. After a rocky start she has a chance encounter with Asher at a train station in France, and everything falls into place from here.

Asher is so swoon-worthy that I almost literally felt my heart melting. He's so sweet, genuine and just plain sexy! Like Skye, he's also backpacking through Europe, but he has his own reasons for taking this trip. The more I learned about him the more I was rooting for him and Skye. I really enjoyed how their relationship progressed; their chemistry is so natural and easy that it's difficult not to completely lose yourself in their combined charm. Also, let me just mention that the steamy encounters between these two may very well set you on fire, so be ready to be dazzled and have something at the ready you can use to fan yourself! Shout out to J for expertly executing those HOT scenes!!

As I mentioned before, the fact that this book takes place in Europe is a huge reason to love this story even more! J. Meyers is so descriptive and paints a very alluring picture of several of the countries visited by Skye and Asher. It makes me want to plan my own trip to Europe so I can experience these places myself! But, aside from the beautifully described scenery and passionate connection between Skye and Asher, I also love the fact that this story is so fun and feels so real. It's personal and touching on so many levels. Go read this book NOW! You won't regret it!

*Very special thanks go to J. Meyers for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Lately I've been having the worst time trying to find something truly worthwhile to read.  Countless titles have been started and then quickly set aside (since I am of an age where I no longer feel compelled to waste time reading boring books).  Not only did this book not bore me, it brought me joy.  Been a looooooong time since a book did that for me!  If you sometimes (or oftentimes) feel as if the world has gone mostly mad, set aside a few hours for this book.
Bravo and thanks to Ms. Coyne (and Mr. Moir)!

"From Gratitude to Bliss" is a perfect gift, not only to give to others but a treat for yourself. My own journey of healing and wellness has come from a practice of being grateful - grateful for where I've been, the experiences along the way and the journey ahead. This little gem of a book has provided the perfect place for me to easily and peacefully re-connect to all that I am, all that I have and all that I can give. Gratitude allows for our stresses to release, for our mind to quiet and for our body and spirit to be at peace. Ultimately, as Lorraine teaches, it leads to Bliss.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Miss Match.  What a delightful and sensual nourishment for my soul.  Miss Carroll takes the reader on a journey of taste, smell, and sensation, and enables the reader to be present in the moment with each character, as well as lose track of time.  Miss Carroll's style combintes wit and creativity, with a lyrical touch.
I gave myself a wonderful gift when I bought this book! I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to have a magigical adventure for the senses and the soul. Truly enjoyable!

If you could sum up Submission in Paradise in three words, what would they be?
Glorious, submissively beautiful.

What other book might you compare Submission in Paradise to and why?
I can't think of any other BDSM book I've read that compares with this one. I so enjoy the dark romances and this book makes my soul smile. It is a refreshing delightfully happy uplifting romp with Shea and Liam.

What about Anne-Marie Ambersons performance did you like?
Anne-Marie Amberson's performance was light and bright. She struck all the right notes in this composition. And her various character accents brought yet another dimension to this already lovely book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes but I had to sleep in between start and finish.

Any additional comments?
Claire Thompson deserves massive kudos for this blissful and refreshing work. This book is one I will re-read again and again because it makes me so happy!!!!  Also, the way Claire Thompson handles the discussion of BDSM in such a realistic and down to earth way is absolutely commendable.

I adore Lauren Blakely and everything about her books give me that happy, feel good kind of joy deep down to my soul. And coming off a week where a family friend was buried after losing her battle with cancer, losing a family friend and her daughter in an accident and a friends Uncle being hospitalized...I need to read about love, humor and some joyous happily ever after more than ever! Thank you Lauren for sharing your immense talent and beautiful words that in times like these are pure perfection. I usually read for an escape and entertainment. This week - it was more therapeutic than ever.

The Real Deal is a perfect fake relationship becomes more type of story. Filled with unique, relatable characters that I was head over heels for from the start. Perfect witty banter and humor. And my absolute favorite aspect of this particular book was the intense build up. The chemistry and attraction between Theo & April was immediate and undeniable. The banter and wittiness as they made their backstory up improv style is utterly brilliant! I loved loved loved the slow burn that sizzled. Starting on their train ride - whew I was panting and turned on like it was happening to me. All from reading this amazing authors words. Pure talent! And this pull continued to build and spark through their journey from fake to "The Real Deal". Gah such a perfect title to this great read.

Not only are Theo and April perfection in every way, we get a full cast of fantastic supporting characters. I kinda want to be a part of the Hamilton family myself. They are so fun. This storyline of a family reunion and games is inspiring. I am inspired to use some of these ideas at my own family reunion next summer.

As an insatiable reader, it has been quite a while since I've read such a gentle, while captivating story involving humanity and spiritual harmony with a flow of consistency untouched.  This quality of writing that entails the ability to enthusiastically 'lure' one to each chapter with such an eloquent grace, is a heartfelt skill (gift) that few truly embrace.  Kudos to Alan for such enjoyment and I look forward to your next creation!

I met Heather as a friend before following and becoming a student of her- and the JOGs- work. It's always nice when you meet a kind generous person who truly loves what they do, and demonstrates excellence professionally (and vice versa!). Ecstatic Union with the Divine does not disappoint! I love how it can be read cover to cover sequentially, and also used as an oracle.

When you read the transmissions, you'll feel how good, and expansive, and true the perspective is. You might just feel LOVE leaping out at you as you read. Heather and the JOGs provide such strength, peace, and love to all of us to live our best, most joy-filled, expansive life - even in times of uncertainty and no matter what is going on externally.

This is the kind of book that you can turn to again and again to feel grounded, centered, and whole.

All three books in this series, along with a wonderful novella, were so well written and enjoyable.  The stories flowed, the characters were well developed and this last one brought the series to a satisfying and rewarding close.  And you get to re-visit the couples from the other 2 books as well which brought it all full circle!  I'd be hard pressed to name my favorite among these books -- Nathan, Luke and Gavin are all perfect in their own right!  Don't hesitate to buy this series -- it's well worth it!

Rarely do you find books that have the perfect mix of fun, laughter, romance and a dose of reality! You will fall in love with Kairavi, crave for a friend like Baani and drool over the oh-so perfect doctor! The authors command over english is praiseworthy, as she makes the scenes come alive, be it a day at the beach with high heels, or diarrhea! You will not regret reading this book, specially if you are a die hard romantic :) So make yourself a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy the heartwarming-ly funny life of Kairavi :)

I laughed, wanted to cry, and got all warm and fuzzy while reading this book! I am so thankful that Melanie writes about the normal lives that we all have. She puts it in a way that is joyful and fun. What a blessing! It's uplifting, humorous, and heartwarming. Could not put it down! BTW, this is John's wife writing the review. Thanks, Jayne Stark
