This Chick Read: Nobody But You by Jill Shalvis

This is the third book in the Cedar Ridge series and so far it is my favorite.  Jacob Kincaid is Hud’s twin, from the second book in the series My Kind of Wonderful.  Jacob left home at eighteen after having an argument with his brother, entered the Army Special Forces, and didn’t speak to his brother again.  He returns from a mission, having lost his best friend and brother in arms, and wants to go home to Cedar Ridge and reconnect with his family, and reunite with his brother Hud.   Continue reading “This Chick Read: Nobody But You by Jill Shalvis” →

Harlan Coben, once again, produces a well thought, multi layered mystery that burrowed into my mind and wouldn’t let me put the book down until it was finished. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Fool Me Once by Harlan Coben” →

This Chick Read: Vengeful Love: Black Diamonds by Laura Carter

I would like to preface this review with a personal note.  I met Laura Carter, the author of this series, at the RT Convention in Las Vegas last month.  She and I shared a bench while quickly wolfing down vegetable wraps, (that cost a mint!).  I saw that she was wearing a black badge that stated she was an author, and struck up a conversation.  I have to say, the people, authors and readers, at this convention were very warm and approachable.  The ladies I met, talked to, and made friends with, were from all walks of life.  Having that one thing in common, books, really broke down the walls that we usually hide ourselves behind.  Books are a wonderful ice breaker!  Laura, as I stated above, was no exception to the rule.  She was lovely, friendly, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Vengeful Love: Black Diamonds by Laura Carter” →

This Chick Read: The Great Zoo of China by Matthew Reilly

This book was the best action movie I have ever read.  Yes, you read that right! And why hasn’t this been made into a movie Mr. Spielberg?   As the  book was picked for my book club to read and talk about, that was the first thing out of our mouths…why isn’t this a movie yet?  Ok, there are similarities to Jurassic Park, but there were enough differences that I think someone should take that chance.  The excitement literally started about 25 pages in, and it, did, not, stop!   Continue reading “This Chick Read: The Great Zoo of China by Matthew Reilly” →

This Chick Read: The Moment of Everything by Shelly King

Lately, I have been looking for books to read that are about small book stores, after reading  two fabulous books, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend.  I had read about The Moment of Everything, previously, and thought that it looked interesting. Unemployed, Maggie Dupres spends all of her time in The Dragonfly’s Used Book store, dreaming of better days and reading bodice ripper, romance novels.
