The Chief by Monica McCarty

I am not usually a fan of highlander books.. I never hate them but they are usually just ehhh to me.  But this one I actually really enjoyed and I came across it on accident yesterday when I was going through my library's e-book selection and thought I would try it and I could not put it down.

There were a few times were Christina annoyed me.. but that happens even in my favorite books so thats to be expected and of course I wanted to punch Tor a lot but again that is to be expected.. I hate when a woman is expected to be docile and OBEY her husband.  ohhh it when Tor says that I wanted to punt kick him across the room but Christina just accepts this.. And I know that is how it was back then.. which is why I usually can not read any kind of historical book.  I have tried and tried but I just can't stand it.  I love cavemen. I really do but a woman has to be able to fight back.  They need to have some kind of power.. and I am not talking about in the bedroom.. I think thats why I like Donna Grants highlander series because there is the paranormal aspect to it as well as the highlander men.

Anyways... What I was trying to say was that although Tor was all "I will tell you nothing! You must obey me!"  He was also sweet and I don't know it just seemed different than most of the highlander books I have tried to read. I am going to try the next one and hope that this one wasn't just a fluke and that maybe I have finally found a highlander series that I can love and enjoy!

Dark Dream by Christine Feehan

Surprise! I actually loved this book! Falcon is still a caveman like the rest of the Carpathian males but he actually asks Sara what she wants!  Mind blown when I heard that.  I do not remember any of the other males doing that.  Not only that but the wants Sara to have all her dreams.  Crazy concept.  Falcon is by far my favorite.  He's the only one who wants his female to have opinions!

Now the book was extremely short and they fell in love basically instantly which is bat shit crazy.. but whatever. I still enjoyed the story.  And really she already knew about him because she's been dreaming about him.. and maybe I am just making up excuses... but again whatever.  It was still good.

By far my favorite of the series.

Storm's Heart by Thea Harrison

Oh Tiago. I love you.  If only there was a real you out there in the world.   It would make life so much better.  He was so dreamy. Le sigh.  MY favorite scene from the whole book is when Tiago finds Tricks in the hotel drunk.  That was freaking hilarious.  Tricks was an all around funny character.  I enjoyed reading her story just because she made me laugh. And it wasn't cheesy like a lot of other books I have read.  The books was actually funny.

That being said I wanted to hit Tricks multiple times throughout the book.  Why oh why do females not just tell the males whats going on in their little heads.  Everything could have been fixed so much sooner if they would just open up their mouths instead of running away.  Props to Tiago for NOT running away though.  He kept chasing her when I am pretty sure I would have been like eff this and left.

Other than that though the book was pretty fantastic.  I am liking this series a lot so far.

Eat Prey Love by Kerrelyn Sparks

No.  I am so disappointed by this book.  Carlos has always been one of my favorite side characters and I have been looking forward to his book ever since we first met him and I hated it.  I HATED Caitlyn.  She could not have been any more desperate.  I have no idea why any woman would ever throw themselves at someone the way she did.  It was embarrassing and she just kept doing it.

 And her freakin daddy issues.  Yeah so your dad was/is an asshole. BFD.  And you find out your sister didn't actually run away like you thought.  Instead of freaking out maybe just enjoy getting to know her?  I dunno.  That's what I would do.  Its not like you can change the past.  And it's not like you are actually going to do anything to your father so STFU.

The dialogue seemed forced.  And a lot of it was awkward and incredibly cheesy.  I understand that a lot of the lines were suppose to be "sexy" but good god they weren't.
There's really nothing more to say.  I did not enjoy anything about the book.  I wanted so badly to stop listening to it.  I am really hoping the the next one won't be so awkward.

Also whoever hired the narrator for the audiobook did a terrible job.  She talked like you would to a child. It's part of the reason I hated the book so much.  Who wants to listen to love scenes with a whiney voice? NO ONE.

Entwined by Elisabeth Naughton

I read the first one a loong time ago and I have read 100+ books since then.  So some of the characters were a little confusing to me at first because I was trying to remember what happened.  And I couldn't remember if I had missed something with Zander and Callia from the first book.  I know there was tension.. but I kind wish there would have been more of a flashback maybe of 10 years ago when they fell in love.  But again.. maybe there was more to it in the first book. Honestly can't remember. I just felt like I was missing something with the story.

I hate the communication misunderstanding.  I hate that something so idiotic kept two people apart.  It makes me want to hit people.  And I also think that Zander was a complete ass calling her a murderer.  And right after he told her her just wanted to fuck her.  ohhhhh.  I would have chopped off some very important parts of him.

I will read the next book.. Although I really can't stand Isadora.  I am hoping maybe that might change after her book?.. probably not.

Dark Fire by Christine Feehan

Sometimes I really do not know why I keep reading this series.  This book was one of the worse ones I think.  I honestly like the whole life mate thing.  Where the male sees color and feels as soon as he sees his life mate.  I love that.  I freaking hate that they feel the need to control everything about the female.  i feel like the books are getting worse an worse at this as the series goes on.

Darius was terrible.  This is what I remember of him. He took Tempest down under a volcano and she kept telling him how terrified and how uncomfortable she was being underground and he told her she was fine and put her to sleep.  And then woke her up with sex.  And when she realized what had happened she was mad for all of half a second.  Which also made me hate her.

So there you have it.. I hated both the main characters.  Tempest was weak and she had zero common sense and she was just plain annoying.  She would get pissed and then get over it two seconds later without anything being resolved.  And Darius was the worst.  He treated his life mate like he would his child and thats creepy.  He didn't want her to have a mind of her own.  He basically wanted her to keep her mouth shut and her legs open. Oh and stay right by his side. Freaking annoying.

okkkaaaay.  Now that I have ranted about how much I disliked this book.... I will read the next one. I love the world too much to completely drop the series all together.  But I am getting to a point where that may not be enough anymore.

Lover Unleashed by J.R. Ward

I was more interested in Doc Jane and V's relationship than I was Payne and Mannys.   Not that theirs wasn't interesting.. because it was... I just love Jane and V.  And honestly I found myself almost skimming through some of the other parts to get to their chapters.  I had to walk away from the book a few times when I started doing that.

That is the one issue I have with the brotherhood books.  If I don't like a character, I always want to skip their chapters and you really can't do that.  But then it is also something that I love most about the Brotherhood books because it brings back characters that I loved from past books.  And the thing with this book was that I didn't hate the main couple, I just liked the secondary couple more.

I dunno.  I honestly just wasn't feeling this one.  I have been putting it off for so long. For reasons that now make no sense. ( The next book Lover Reborn is going to break me. Because I am still not over Wellsie.  And I knew as soon as I finished this one I had to start that one.)  I am crazy I know.   But I am dreading that next story. I know, I know closure and all that. Blah.

Basically Eh is how I feel about this book.  Glad Doc Jane and V are finally going to be actually mated.  Doc Jane kinda got shafted.  So I am happy that V is getting better.  That's really what I took from the book.
