All I Want by Jill Shalvis

Hey everyone,

Blurb for All I Want:

Pilot-for-hire Zoe Stone is happy to call Sunshine, Idaho, her home base. But her quiet life is thrown for a loop when her brother’s friend Parker comes to stay with her for a week. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife special agent is a handsome flirt with a gift for getting under her skin. And the situation only escalates when Parker hires her to fly him around the area while he collects evidence on a suspected smuggler.

Now she has to live and work with the guy. But when they’re in the air, she sees another side of him. He’s driven, focused, and sharp. And while he enjoys giving commentary on her blind dates, she quickly realizes with a shock that it’s Parker who gets her engines going.

My review:  This is the latest book in her Animal Magnetism series.    The entire town, (including all the animals) are additional and necessary characters in this series.  You can’t help but like the town.   Zoe and Parker are nice, fun characters.  Zoe is a hotshot pilot yet can’t fix anything at her own house.  Parker, a special agent for the Fish and Wildlife Department, is a friend of her brother and is in Idaho for a much needed vacation, even though he is secretly working on a case.  He goes behind her back all the time fixing little things in the house—and drives Zoe crazy in the process.  Zoe’s dog, Oreo, is possibly my favorite character in this story. The only thing that fell short for me in this book is that the case Parker was working on ended without much pizzazz.   I like Jill’s books—they are light, fun reads.  They make me feel happy when I am reading them and I never fail to smile.  Sometimes we need books to do that for us.

Happy reading!

Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined by Stephenie Meyers

As I am sure you have heard about this new book, Life and Death, that Stephenie Meyers is putting out for the 10th anniversary of Twilight. Now, I am a twilight fan, don’t hold it against me. I am however just pretty shocked and kind of angry that this is what she is choosing to give us, her devoted readers that made Twilight what it is today.

Her readers have begged for years since the talk began of doing the Twilight series from Edwards point of view. She allows someone to read one of the drafts and they betray her trust and release it, and now all of the fans have to suffer. Even though this wasn’t the only version in existence.

So the part that makes me angry is that here she is trying to sell us this mockery of a book instead of giving us the greatest gift that would have brought Twilight back to the fore front, which is Midnight Sun.

So, when do we finally get to have the book we are dreaming about? When is our loyalty to the books, movies, and entire franchise going to be rewarded? Or, is it that we just don’t matter as much as we thought, or would like to believe we do.

As a big Twilight fan, I refuse to be quieted by this scrap she is throwing us. I feel like she will always be waving the Midnight Sun bone in front of us like snapping dogs forever.

I am vowing right here and now that I will not purchase this book, I will not let it overshadow what she at one time said she would give us, her loyal fans, Midnight Sun.

Look, I know authors can’t give every reader what they want, but I believe that if you say you are going to deliver something, then you should hold up your end of the bargain, and we will hold up ours.

Peace

Les

Montana Dragons by Chloe Cole

Ok so this is about a wolf shapeshifter that’s prearranged mate ha chosen someone else, so her parents secretly marry her off to a dragon shapeshifter without her knowledge.

This is pretty much part 1 of this, I guess I would call it a series of novellas. I got them as a bundle and I’m actually ok with them being short right now.

It is a good story. Lead female is feisty and strong. The male lead is smart, strong, sexy and has to watch his temper a little.

All in all I am going to continue reading it and will update you soon.

Peace

Les
