Review - 'A Favor for a Favor' by Helena Hunting - a fun and enjoyable read as Stevie leaves her brother's shadow



In the 2nd book of the series, it centers on Rooke's sister, Stevie as she tries to recover from the sudden break up with her boyfriend. She moves in across the hall from a man that hates her brother, Bishop, and she is inclined to do the same, until an opportunity presents itself and she finds that she may see more in him.

I really liked the beginning of their relationship. The little competition that they had with their underwear. It was funny, cute, and really dictated how their relationship was going to go. All that boils over when they finally get together and they could just be 'the cutest thing ever' and I didn't think that was possible after reading Rooke's book.

Probably the one thing that I didn't like was Joey (and not because of what he did) and just that whole interaction that he was having with Stevie. I didn't like that it took her so long to finally stand up for herself because on so many levels he was boarderline stalking her and I am pretty sure that she could have gotten a restraining order against him for the things that he was doing.

The story as a whole was fun and entertaining. There wasn't any time when it slowed down or didn't flow. It felt like I was just watching a movie unfold with the audio book that I was listening to. There were times that I didn't like Jacob Morgan's interpretation of Bishop. It just felt like he was just reading the words and not really giving them any kind of emotion for most of the story.

There is a lot of set for other characters and their books and I say this now, I am not going to like Kingston's book because I know that one is going to hurt.

Wanda is struggling to keep control in episode 7 of 'WandaVision'

  If you are not already hooked on Marvel’s new TV show on Disney+ WandaVision then this week’s episode will certainly have you hook, line, and sinker. This week’s show is titled ‘Breaking the Fourth Wall’ and in some ways it breaks more walls then that. The show hits the 2000s and Modern Family seems to be the theme with some splashes of other sitcoms from the 2000s. I really enjoyed the commentary that Wanda and Vision have when they are talking to the camera. The glances and the 'knowing stare' from Vision are completely spot on.  Like the other episodes, this one is jam-packed with information so you need to make sure you are paying attention. Wanda is slowly but surely losing control of the Hex. The kids are noticing this and want to help but Wanda just thinks relaxing will help (not likely). In the reality part of the show, we discover that Hayward is trying to get Vision back so he can use him as a weapon (no surprise there). Monica and Jimmy meet with her friend (...

Review: 'Dominik' by Sawyer Bennett - Can Dominik tame Willow's wild heart?

In the 6th book of the series, Dominik takes the lead as he tries to get Willow out of his thoughts, but that proves more difficult the more time he spends with her. Willow doesn't want to tie herself down to this man, but the more she fights, the harder she falls. When you do book series like this, it's hard to like every single one. Especially when you unintentionally compare the books with one another. I had a hard time liking the relationship with Dominik and Willow. Perhaps its that we didn't really get to see the beginning (you hear about it in other books) or maybe I just didn't like the way that they are together. It just didn't tickle my fancy. They didn't have that 'it' factor that separates the story from others. I did enjoy the cat and mouse game that Willow was playing with Dominik. That part was entertaining. See a man of Dominik stature get frustrated and make moves that I am sure are out of his character. But even that got old aft...

'Sinful King' by Claire Contreras is now available

The Sinful King, a new, sexy, 100% stand-alone novel by New York Times bestselling author, Claire Contreras, is LIVE! If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery. Every summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water. Cottages that belonged to my family. Each of those summers, my parents sent me away – summer camp and later, boarding school. Anything to keep me away from the royals and their partying. I hadn’t been home in years, but when I finally come back for the summer, I see that not much has changed. Like all the summers I’d been gone, Prince Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. No reason at all to even think he was there. I’m given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes t...
