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 (...

Bucky and Sam try to deal with a new Captain America in 'The Falcon and Winter Soldier' episode 2

In this week's episode, titled 'The Star-Spangled Man', John Walker is taking over for Steve Rogers as Captain America and is adjusting to what that role means for America. In the meantime, Sam is continuing to try and take down the Flag Smashers, now with Bucky in tow. But these Smashers are not typical human, but an army of super soldiers, something that Bucky is very familiar with. Walker tries to join in the fight, but Sam and Bucky want nothing to do with him.  Bucky is having a hard time seeing someone else yield the shield. Sam doesn't like it either, but he understand that he made a choice and he has to live with the consequences. Captain America, Walker, seems like he would fit the bill on the surface. He seems like a carbon copy of Steve Rogers, but it's not until we get towards the end of the show that we see a darker side of Walker.  We get to see more of the Flag Smashers in this show and see why they are doing what they are doing. In their opinion, the...
