REVIEW: “Kiss the Girl” by Melissa Brayden
I spent twelve years of my adult life teaching at universities. I taught Speech Communication and Performance of Literature. One of the things I always told my students was that it wasn’t enough to do the minimum necessary to pass. Because once they left college and got out into the working world, doing the minimum…

REVIEW: “How Sweet It Is” by Melissa Brayden
So, I bought a Kindle Fire HD. It was an awesome deal. Half off. Free shipping. I’d been wanting one for a while. It’s not like I needed it. But, I’m a sucker for new toys. I snatched it up. It was a good thing, too…they sold out pretty quickly. I was in it for…

REVIEW: “Hoosier Daddy” by Ann McMan and Salem West
I’d been seeing these posts around Facebook for a story by Ann McMan and Salem West. It was being posted chapter by chapter. I was intrigued by this since I’ve read stuff written by each woman individually – Ann’s novels, Salem’s reviews, both of their Facebook posts. I’d enjoyed everything I’d read from them, so…

REVIEW: “All That Lies Within” by Lynn Ames
I was having a conversation with Lynn Ames and the subject of reviews came up. During that chat, we discussed that I had not yet posted a review of one of her books. Now, mind you, this was not because I didn’t want to. Nor was it because I read a book and thought it…

REVIEW: “The Demon Abraxas” by Rachel Calish
**Thank you to Lynda Sandoval for her editing assistance.** Reading Paranormal novels isn’t really my thing. I find this strange since I did spend a lot of time reading Buffy fan fiction and really enjoyed it. I probably read so much during that period that I just eventually burned out. Not that I found anything…

REVIEW: “Letters Never Sent” by Sandra Moran
I have mentioned before that one of my favorite things about attending the annual Golden Crown Literary Society Conference is meeting and discovering new authors. The conference this year was held in Dallas, TX back in June. Political crap aside, I love Texas. I lived there for 6 years while attending TCU and earning my…

REVIEW: “Love by the Numbers” by Karin Kallmaker
It’s been a busy year. Yes, 2013 has kept me hopping, that’s for sure. Because if this, I’ve had little time to read and even less time to write reviews. Well, that’s not completely true. I’ve had time. Not much, but I’ve had it. There have just been so many other things going on that…

REVIEW: “High Impact” by Kim Baldwin
I know that I owe reviews to a few other people. Yes, I know. I’ve been remiss about getting those reviews written. But, it’s been a while since I’ve read those books, so I need/want to read them again before I feel comfortable writing about them. It would be really bad if I tried to…

REVIEW: “Roller Coaster” by Karin Kallmaker
Back in the day – when I was growing up – I spent a lot of time at amusement and theme parks. I grew up in San Diego, CA. Not a year went by when I wasn’t at Disneyland, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and/or Knott’s Berry Farm at least once. There was always something –…

REVIEW: “Open Water” by Pol Robinson
So here we are. It’s the beginning of July 2012. In just a few short weeks, the Olympic Games will open in London. I’ve always enjoyed the Olympics. I remember being madly in love with Mark Spitz when I was just 4 years old. Don’t judge. I was four! I remember when Mary Lou Retton…
