Review: No Direction Home

No Direction Home by Jude Willhoff
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Well, I gave this book a try. I really did. I got through into chapter 7 before I dumped it and moved on to another book. While I sympathize with the author, and living with chronic pain, it's not something I want to read about in my fictional novel. And the character was always going on about her condition, what she can do, what she can't do, etc.

NOW, before you jump on my case, I TOO LIVE WITH CHRONIC PAIN. Plus, I have other chronic health issues. I keep a medicine log in the form of a small notebook where I write down all the medicine that I take on a daily basis. So yes, I understand this all too well.

I know about what I can and can't do. I LIVE WITH THAT ON A DAILY BASIS. I live with what I can and can't eat. I live with trying to control my pain.

BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO READ ABOUT!
I LIVE WITH IT!
And I certainly don't want to read about it in my fictional novel I pick up.
I gave the book a try.

Maybe if you don't live with any chronic health issues, and are a healthy so and so, maybe you can find this book interesting. I do live with chronic health issues and did not find it interesting.

Review: Ghosts in Glass Houses

Ghosts in Glass Houses by Kay Charles
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a very FUN read! (:-) I really enjoyed it. All the ghosts just add to the fun. It's a hoot, her dealing with all these ghosts talking to her, while she's trying to not let people know she can see and hear them. It's got great characters, an awesome story, and a heck of a mystery that will keep you guessing till the very end.

The Courage To Love by Christina Tetreault

Good solid romance book, and I enjoyed it. I've read another book in this series I believe. This book has good characters, great setting, and good solid story. A good romance book to curl up with.

Review: Prairie Heat

Prairie Heat by Tessa Layne
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Sorry, but this book just didn't grab me. It resorted to sex right at the beginning, which I didn't care for. But this book just never got my attention.

Review: Dark Deceit

Dark Deceit by Cathie Dunn
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The heroine in this book is pathetically dismal and spineless, always choosing the wrong guy. The hero is the only reason that I skimmed through the book at all. And he's not anything to write home about. I mean, he's okay, but nothing special. The story isn't all that great either. And be forewarned, the book starts out with a rather gruesome scene.

Review: Jameson: Brothers Ink Tattoo

Jameson: Brothers Ink Tattoo by Nicole James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just recently, I reviewed another tattoo parlor romance book, and I gave it low ratings. The difference between that book and this one is like daylight and dark. This book is SOOOO MUCH BETTER than the other one. I didn't care for the other book, but I LOVED THIS ONE! The characters were wonderful, and the story rocks! The romance between Ava and Jameson is almost hate at first sight, but they warm up to each other. You get to know Jameson's brothers. It's simply an awesome read.
