I didn't have a great start with the book. It started off with a lot of math puns, and I was like "okay..." but once I got into the book, I didn't put it down till I was done with it. The characters in the book were lovable, and the plot was believable. Tucker Price kind of reminded me of Christi...

I'm really enjoying the Off The Subject series and the story lines are really good and very enjoyable.This centres on Caroline and Reed. Caroline is friends with Scarlett, from book 1. She's a fashion design student at Southern University and her background was a very poor when she lived with her...
Rose Gardner continues her journey of self-discovery. It's interesting and fun to ride along as she puts her petty detractors in their place. Half mystery, half romance, with a dash of chick-lit. This series has stayed fresh for me so far. I get caught up in how Rose manages to prove all t...

I am still loving Rose Gardner Mysteries but had a few issues with this one more than the others.For one, I found the number of potential bad guys and visions Rose had in this book a little hard to follow because there were so many. As for the characters, I love Rose's continuing growth and incre...
This book had me going up and down... not really in a good way. It was slow to start then would pick up some, then slow again. It started getting interesting about chapter 16. I felt both characters were really juvenile the beginning. Both characters were very stubborn about admitting anythin...

There is one other curse keeper from a different line that is a yin to her yang. Collin had changed Ellie’s destined path the nano-second he waltzed into her life,...
The section featured a guardhouse, a blacksmith shop, a woodworking lathe, and an officer’s tent.“So cliché,” I muttered for the fifth or twentieth time.“Yes, Ellie, I know,” David murmured softly, keeping his flashlight beam low so we wouldn’t be seen by anyone across the cove in Manteo.I clutch...
“Who’s here?” she wheezed out.“The bad men,” he whispered.Her gun was in her bedroom, but it was broad daylight. She shook her head. She was losing it. “Jake, sweetie, go back to bed.”He stood in place as if frozen. At the moment, his demeanor worried her more than who might be at the door.“Jake?...

All food and amenities were carried to the room by security.While he had powers at his disposal, he wasn’t sure he wanted to rely on them to deal with Alex’s men....
Their nakedness was proof enough that last night hadn’t been a dream. She was married to Noah. Never in her wildest dreams could she hope to have what she’d shared with him last night. And this was only the beginning of so much more. She shifted and...
I lay on the bed, thinking about my mom. She has to be sick with worry and wondering where I am. Does my dad even care?Knowing I disappeared after we fought is a thorn in my side. That’s the last memory she’ll have of me, my stomping off in anger. Will she think I hate her and ran away? Will she ...
Neely Kate demanded. “What did you find?” He reached into the safe and pulled out a handgun. “Oh, my stars and garters,” Neely Kate gasped. Witt handed it toward me, but I took a step back. He tilted h...
Will no longer needed his gun as a threat. James seemed more sure of himself and Emma hadn’t said much.Grilling her had been harder than he expected. His love for her overshadowed his caution and that scared him. Feelings only made people do stupid things. Will couldn’t afford stupid.Will stopped...
But she met me at the door wearing a pair of jeans, one of Ronnie’s flannel shirts, and a pair of boots. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, but her hair still looked pretty from the day before. “Are you ready?” I asked, refraining from making a comment on her appearance. ...
He’d been here once as a kid when James had come to visit his grandparents. Still, he’d been a kid so he didn’t remember how to get here, let alone what town James was in. But finding James had been ridiculously easy. Good thing James wasn’t in the witness protection program. Will stopped the car...
She knew he would never harm her. In fact, she had a feeling this was an attempt to save her somehow; she just didn’t know what he was protecting her from. “Josh, what happened?” His hands tightened on the steering wheel, and he shook his head, his ...
She tossed her purse down in a panic as she tried to catch her breath. Being so close to Garrett Lowry unnerved her more than she cared to admit. She’d almost kissed him. Everything within her had demanded that she kiss him. If she had waited a moment longer before leaving, she would have succumb...
The crazed woman had managed to grab poor Neely Kate’s hair again. The deputy had pulled out her taser and was about to go to town with it when one of the older women followed my lead and dumped the contents of her mug on Tabitha. Unfortunately, it was a mug full of steaming, hot coffee. &n...
Emma and Jake followed behind, Jake kicking stray rocks in his path. Will loaded up the luggage in the back seat while Emma watched. She clenched her fists, unsure what to say. The damaged side of the truck taunted her, accusing her of taking him for granted. “Will?” she hesitated. His expression...
His secretary glanced up at me with a flustered look. “He’s really busy, Rose.”“That’s okay,” I said leaning to the side to take a peek through his open door. Mason was sitting on the edge of his desk, his broken leg extended in front of him. An older man in a suit and two men in sheriff’s unifor...
How did the statement go? Was I hungry or thirsty? Was I tired? Did I need to lie down? After a few minutes, I couldn’t take it anymore. “Violet, talking to Mason helped me feel better. What I really want to do is go in the backroom and work.” Her brow wrinkled. “Mason?” She paused, cocking her h...
Emma pointed to a bungalow several houses down. The yard needed mowing and landscape was overgrown. Paint flaked off the weathered siding. An old Buick was parked in the driveway.A woman with bleached-blonde hair emerged from the front door. She wore a pair of too-tight jeans and an equally tight...
She liked Kevin. But did she like him enough to risk everything for a chance with him? She was eager to seek the refuge of her job, but thoughts of Kevin still followed her, and the woman who kept them apart was more abrasive than usual. Nicole had made a list of things th...
At this rate, it’d be next winter before I got to the beds around the house. When I got up and stretched, I realized it was already dark outside. The only light in the office was from the glow of my computer screen. The streets were fairly deserted, but there was a man sta...
I hung back as we entered, and Belinda greeted her first, pulling her into a tight hug. When they broke apart, Belinda still clung to her arms. “How are you doing, Amy? Really?” Amy was about to answer when she looked over Belinda’s shoulder. Her eyes widened in shock. “Yo...
He hadn’t seen his mom in months and he’d rather spend time with her than hang out in a bar with people he hardly knew. But she insisted that he stay and have fun. Hanging out in a noisy bar was at the bottom of his list of fun and she knew it, but he suspected she wanted some time alone with the...
“Did you see it all?” Tsagasi asked, standing next to my head, his knife in his hand. My other guardians stood at four points, their backs to me. Their weapons were in their hands, ready to be used if necessary. “Yes.” I sat up, still in shock. “Collin’s father killed Momm...
I’d spent most of my twenty-five years alone. Even now, I was used to being alone off and on during the day. But I’d gotten used to spending my mornings with Mason, so I’d stared at his empty chair with an ache in my heart. Not because I was sitting there with just Muffy for company. I could hand...
“You never closed the toilet lid,” Allison DeSanto shouted across the conference table. “You caused me pain and suffering that I will never recover from.” “Are you kidding me?” Marco, her soon-to-be ex-husband, shouted back. “I forgot to close the lid one time and you clai...
Eric shouted as soon as I walked through the front door. My mouth dropped open. “Sophie!” “I . . .” Why was he so furious? “Last time I checked, you aren’t my father or even my babysitter.” “No, I’m your brother!” “He’s been freaking out for the last hour,” Dane said, walking out of the kitchen. ...
