This Chick Read: All In by Simona Ahrnstedt

All In is the first foreign language romance novel to be translated and published in America.  As the first, it is a huge event in the publishing world, and every eye will be on how the American reader world reacts to this novel.  I can’t speak for the entire American population, only for myself, but if I needed to describe how I felt while reading this novel I would say I was fascinated, riveted, stunned, emotional, horrified, enraptured and involved. Continue reading “This Chick Read: All In by Simona Ahrnstedt” →

Review:

When I read the synopsis for this book, I thought, ok, hasn’t this topic been done already? But, as I read the book, I realized, that while there is one similarity to The Selection by Kiera Cass, this book takes that general idea, and enhances it a thousand fold. Continue reading “This Chick Read: The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead” →

This Chick Read: Wicked Burn (Realm Enforcers #3) by Rebecca Zanetti

Rebecca Zanetti’s bio on Amazon says she wasn’t finished with the Dark Protectors series, so she created the Realm Enforces series, to continue some of these characters storylines.

This Chick Read: Before the Fall by Noah Hawley

This story starts with a plane crash and admittedly, as my father is a retired pilot, plane crashes are not my favorite subject to read about.  However, as the plot unfolded, the plane crash, although it was the impetus driving the plot, was not what this story was about.  This novel was about human nature.  Noah Hawley revealed each character’s strengths and flaws, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Before the Fall by Noah Hawley” →

There is a fascination in the romance industry for the hard living, hard drinking, lawless, overly tattooed man’s man, who finds himself tamed by either the lawful girl next door or the beautiful buxom damsel in distress.  This novel gives us a heroine, Haven, who is a bit of both.  The MC Biker hero is Dare Kenyon, also all of the above, but mixed in with the tattoo’s and hard living is a decent guy Continue reading “This Chick Read: Ride Hard by Laura Kaye” →
