Scotts</a><br/><br /> My rating: <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1036684712'>4 of 5 stars</a><br /> <br/><br/><br /> 3.5* Ultimately, I did enjoy Unraveling Chase, but I had a couple problems. First, there wasn't much Liam/Chase time. Chase and Liam are apart for nearly 2/3rds of the book, and what time they do spend together was in bed, which I'm not complaining about, exactly since JJ Scotts knows how to write a sex scene, but I'd like to see more of them outside the bedroom, especially considering the revelations made in this book. Which takes me to my second problem -- we <u>finally</u> find out how Chase got his scar, but the way we found out was a little disappointing. <spoiler>Nicole tells Liam the story of what happened. I'm glad I finally know, but wish Chase had been the one to tell Liam the story.</spoiler> What saved this story for me, were the sections told from Chase's perspective. It was nice to get inside of his head for a change and start to understand what makes him tick. This is definitely a must read if you're a fan of the series!<br /> <br/><br/><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1036684712'>View all my reviews</a><br /> Bugettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03254106712856106128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687133337486348856.post-79280484097120803572014-08-23T23:31:00.000-07:002014-10-25T17:27:25.438-07:00Books Read in August<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">☊ </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17.804800033569336px;">✓</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17.804800033569336px;"> </span><br />

It was written well, but it just didn't grab me. I didn't really care about the MCs or believe in their HEA. It just didn't work for me, so at first I rated it 3 stars, but then I thought about all the other books I've rated 3 stars and what does that rating really mean to me? So I've decided, for my own good to really think about what each rating means and define the different ratings here:<br />
<br />
So here it goes:<br />
<br />
5 stars - brilliant, couldn't stop reading, loved the MCs. It doesn't mean the novel is perfect - there might be some issues, but I just don't care, because I'm so caught up in the story. Oh and everyone I know must read this book now!!! And I will definitely re-read it.<br />
<br />
4.5 stars - almost a 5 star but there are a few little issues that bother me enough that it doesn't get 5 stars. Also a book I must share with my book friends and I'll likely re-read it.<br />
<br />
4 stars - really good read. Kept my attention, really liked the plot, characters, etc...not perfect. Might re-read and will definitely recommend to my friends.<br />
<br />
3.5 stars - very good, but something is missing. I'd still recommend it but probably won't re-read.<br />
<br />
3 stars - good, not great. Might recommend but probably won't re-read.<br />
<br />
2.5 stars - okay probably won't recommend and definitely won't re-read.<br />
<br />
2 stars - meh - this book did nothing for me and unless someone can convince me otherwise, I'm not going to be looking for other books by this author.<br />
<br />
1 star (I don't think I've ever rated anything 1.5 stars) - so bad, either the plot or the characters or the writing that either I force myself to finish it or I DNF it. Painful to read even.<br />
<br />
So my stream of consciousness definitions for my different grades. I'll probably come back and clean them up a bit but this is a good start!<br />

Yes, I've been neglecting my blog and Shelfari and only really updating my reading list on Goodreads. I don't know what's up with me, but my online interactions have been nearly nil lately.<br />
<br />
When I really think about though, I think two things are going on - work is overwhelming and a lot of my book centered energy has been focused on updating my calibre library, since I finally have my own computer. My library is updated; now I'll just update as I add things (unless I decide to add or change things in calibre), so that takes away one issue. The other one - work - isn't going to get better any time soon and I do want to get back to chatting with my Shelfari friends. I think the other problem there is that we aren't reading similar books anymore, so there isn't as much to talk about. Oh well, it's still worth it for seeing what everyone is reading and what's going on in everyone's life.Bugettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03254106712856106128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687133337486348856.post-33150317328695548032014-04-26T02:49:00.001-07:002014-04-26T02:49:43.463-07:00Review: Guarding My Heart<br /> <a style='float: left; padding-right: 20px' href='http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21860038'><img alt='Guarding My Heart' border='0' src='http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1396983240m/21860038.jpg'/></a><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21860038'>Guarding My Heart</a> by <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7340038'>S.C.

I was a little worried about how a romance between a guy and his bodyguard would work, but I thought it was handled pretty well. There was a bit of a suspense aspect to the story too, which is always a nice addition, but as with the other S.C. Wynne book I read, what I really enjoy is her voice and her sense of humor. <br /> <br/><br/><br /> <a href='http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/920814951'>View all my reviews</a><br /> Bugettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03254106712856106128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687133337486348856.post-3983671269284796092014-03-20T17:52:00.001-07:002014-03-20T17:52:39.893-07:00ROR Spring Challenge 2014 (4/15)<b>1.

There are A LOT of categories (I just counted -- there are 42 categories!!) and each category lists the top three books which means there are a total of 126 books listed. Luckily, many wind up winning in multiple categories, and I'd already read some of the books myself, so that makes it slightly more doable. :) <br />
<br />
So, here's the list of the books that I own and I haven't read yet (with a big boost from a marathon purchasing binge on Kobo last weekend, with the help of a 90% off coupon). I still have 21 books to borrow or wait for another awesome Kobo coupon code to pop up. I have to admit though, that some of the descriptions of the books that I haven't bought yet, just didn't appeal to me AT ALL, so I might just stick with this list. Who knows!<br />

Crazy, I know. But the interactions between Cameron and Lucas outside of the bedroom were so wonderful, that I wanted more of those, not another sex scene (plus it started to get ridiculous and seem like it wasn't physically possible for them to do it yet again :-D). I highly recommend this if you want a well written, ultimately sweet but also super steamy enemies to lovers story. And did I mention that it's free!

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's time for a new year of challenges (how can that be??). I like <a href="http://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/p/2014-tbr-challenge.html" target="_blank">Wendy the Super Librarian's TBR Challenge</a>, because the themes each month are voluntary, so if I have something that fits, great, I'll use it but if not, I'll use one of my go-to themes (usually "next in series" or "been on the tbr for the longest").</span></div>

Here are the details:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Runs January 1, 2014 – December 31, 2014. You can join at anytime.</li>
<li>The goal is to find a new love for audios or to outdo yourself by listening to more audios in 2014 than you did in 2013.</li>
<li>Books must be in audio format (CD, MP3, etc.)</li>
<li>ANY genres count.</li>
<li>Re-reads and crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed.</li>
<li>You do not have to be a book blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads, Shelfari, Facebook, LibraryThing, etc.</li>
</ul>
<br />
If you’re a blogger grab the button and do a quick post about the challenge to help spread the word. If you’re not a blogger you can help by posting on Facebook or Tweeting about the challenge.<br />
Levels:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Newbie (I’ll give it a try) 1-5 </li>
<li>Weekend Warrior (I’m getting the hang of this) 5-10</li>
<li>Stenographer (can listen while multi-tasking) 10-15</li>
<li>Socially Awkward (Don’t talk to me) 15-20</li>
<li>Binge Listener (Why read when someone can do it for you) 20-30</li>
<li>My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted) 30+</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Since we totally blew the levels out of the water last year, Jennifer, from The Book Nympho Book Blog, added two higher levels and I'm going for the top one this year: My Precious! Since I already have a love of audio books, I'll try to out do my total from 2013.Bugettahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03254106712856106128noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687133337486348856.post-1244990924896630372013-11-14T22:05:00.000-08:002013-11-16T01:26:21.409-08:00ROR Winter Challenge 2013-14<br />
