Join Me?

I have been staring at my TBR list in my Kindle library (love the new categorizing in the Kindle app by the way) for awhile now and I couldn't make a decision on what to read.  I wasn't sure if I wanted funny, romantic, suspenseful or angsty.  I even thought about re-reading a favorite because I know what to expect and I know I'll enjoy it.  But I have 51 books in my TBR and I really need to pick one of them.  So I closed my eyes and pointed my finger on my iPad and let chance do the choosing.   And what a good choice it was..  Night Owl (The Night Owl Trilogy) by M. Pierce.  I just started reading it and after only a few pages I knew this book is for me.  So far, its funny sexy and grabs your attention.   I only took time out to write this post so if anyone is feeling the same way, I can offer a recommendation.   And the best thing is the price!  Right now the kindle edition is only $.99!! (fyi prices are subject to change)  You can purchase it from the link below.  So, who out there is a fellow Night Owl reader and wants to join me????

It's been awhile since I have read that perfect book.  The one that you want to devour and savor at the same time (kind of like my lunch today.. hehe)   Where you escape into the books world and real world seems to fade away.   Shine Not Burn by Elle Casey was one of those books!   And now that I'm finished I miss it and I'm suffering from a massive book hangover once again.

I know that I after each book I read I have a new favorite book boyfriend, and now that I have found Gavin Mackenzie or "Mack" I must make room for yet another one.  But he's a sexy cowboy and I don't have anyone like him on my list!  Yee Haw! (Don't worry Kellan will never be replaced, he just has more company!)

I am so glad I didn't read any detailed reviews before I read the book.  The only information I read was that it was hilarious and had great reviews.  So I took a chance and I am so glad I did.  It was just what I needed and was looking for in a book.  I laughed, I cried and I had a smile on my face the whole time.  It was fantastic!  So, that's all I'm going to say about this book.  Don't read spoilers it will take away from the experience.  Well, maybe not! I'm sure the book will still be fantastic the next time I read it.  Which may be right now! :)

Freebie Alert!!



Oooh this book looks so good.  It has a great review rating and the best part it's free right now on Amazon! I can't wait to dive into this one! 

Book Description from Amazon:   Chasing Justice (Book 1) (Piper Anderson Series)

Piper Anderson has been given a fresh start in the picturesque town of Edenville, North Carolina. But her plans of settling into a normal life are derailed when she witnesses a prominent judge in her community committing a violent assault. Running from her own past and fueled by a passion to make the judge answer for his crimes, Piper is forced to decide if she’ll play by the rules or achieve justice in her own way.

Complicating things further, Piper finds herself fighting a powerful attraction to rookie cop, Bobby Wright. Although she’s increasingly enamored with Bobby, his staunch belief in the justice system is in stark contrast to her own. She may not share his opinions about the effectiveness of the law, but she certainly can’t deny how safe she feels when she’s in his arms or how every kiss leaves her desperate for more.

For Piper, the idea of finally living an ordinary life with a man to love is tempting. However, fate keeps placing the judge, quite literally, in her path. Will she decide the only way to win is to be as wicked as the judge, but with righteous intentions? And more importantly, will Bobby choose to let her go, or follow her as she crosses the line and takes justice into her own hands?

The cursed existence of Jessalyn Bell By Katie Johnson - Review

I received an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review



I really enjoyed this book!  I'm sure it had to do with the fact the main character and I have a very similar life problem....BAD LUCK!  Of course Jessalyn's luck was much worse than mine and I would not be able to handle all the she endured. 

Jessalyn is a hard working college graduate that wants to make a life for herself.  Unfortunately, she experiences set backs in her "career" one after another.  She also struggles with her parents divorce,  her father's new family and her future step sisters who were a lot like Cinderella's evil step sisters! She has even more bad luck when it comes to her living situation and roommates.  Seriously, can she catch a break?


Even through all the hardships and set backs, a true romance develops between Jessalyn and  a dreamy blue eyed police officer named Kyle.  Despite the fact that their first meeting was not exactly ideal; Kyle arrested her because she was mistaken for someone else!  And that Jessalyn and Kyle's first few dates didn't exactly go has planned.  Their first date landed Jessalyn in the hospital! Most couples would have given up but they had a pull towards each other that couldn't be ignored.  I guess it's true love when you stick around when everything else seems to be falling apart to pieces.

I started reading in the early evening, thinking I would start it, read a few chapters and pick it up later the next day. Nope! Around 3 am I read the last page.  It's been awhile since I have read a book in once sitting.  Even if the book is captivating and hard to put down, sleep usually wins out and I stop reading.  Not this one, I couldn't stop!  I had to see how it ended.  Although It didn't end quite how I expected, it did wrapped up nicely and made for a very entertaining story.

The Cursed Existence of Jessalyn Bell (Jessalyn Bell, #1) comes out November 1st.  Wait!!  Did you see the end of the title? Jessalyn Bell #1??  Looks like its a series.  Yay!!  I'm excited to see how her story continues.
