Dragon's Guide to Slaying Virgins by Isabella Saint-Michael

This is my third book to read by Isabella and I am falling more and more in love with her writing.

This is a really good fantasy romance that isn't like your typical romance novels. This book is full of action and adventure, with great fighting scenes, romance, and some hot and steamy scenes. I love that Isabella gradually introduces us to the characters.

I don't want to spoil anything by giving detailed review of the story but will post the synopsis of the book from Amazon here: "Morgan had resigned herself to death. She had been ready to follow her true love into the afterlife, if only a certain Dragon hadn’t “rescued” her. She wasn’t grateful – after all, she was a full-fledged Lady Knight and perfectly capable of making her own decisions, without the help of arrogant Dragon Lords, no matter how good-looking everyone seemed to think they were… After dragging Lady Morgan from a Troll’s lair and dropping her off in another realm, Vallen thought he’d never see her again. But then an old member of his Knight Order betrays her oaths and begins amassing an army of thugs and highwaymen - in the same realm he’d left Morgan. Racing back with only his brother for a squire, Vallen finds Lady Morgan, accompanied by a teenage Werewolf, ready to take on this Dragon all by herself. But it will take all of them to defeat her, and little do they know that in this battle, the secrets of their broken hearts will rise up from the past and walk again…"

Holiday Spirit for Hire by Isabella Saint-Michael

Holiday Spirit for Hire is a wonderful short tale written by Isabella Saint-Michael. It is a quick and light read full of fun, holiday spirit, great characters, fantasy, romance, and sex.

I found myself finishing it in one sitting. The author did a wonderful job portraying the characters, and the writing was really good.

I don't want to spoil anything so here is a synopsis of the book from Amazon. "When life handed half-werewolf Grace MacGregor a pink slip four weeks before Christmas, she was determined to get back to work as soon as possible. She just didn’t expect it to be the very next day – or at the North Pole. She now has four weeks to make other people’s holiday wishes come true, but will she be able to grant her own while she is at it? Justin Kringle is the nephew of Santa Claus and his job is to keep operations of the Pole on point. When Grace is dropped bed and all into his work shop, he can’t decide if it’s love or hate at first sight. First impression: she’s a total mess. Can he keep her on track and remember to not mix business and pleasure?"

If you are looking for a light and fun read this holiday season, I would read this book.

Practical Uses for Princes with Pointed Ears by Isabella Saint-Michael

I read the eBook, Practical Uses for Princes with Pointed Ears by Isabella Saint-Michael. This is a YA genre book, but is a good read.

The story started out slow for me but understood why the author did it, which was to give you the backstory. There is a strong female character which I liked. There were some hot romantic moments for those who like the romantic genre in books.

I was swept up in the story and really didn't want it to end. This is the first in the series and can't wait for more to read. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it if you like the fantasy world. 

Full Disclosure: I did recieve this book for free however I am under no obligation whatsoever to review it. I am doing so on my own and all opinions expressed are mine and mine alone.

The Wrong Fairytale by Tamar Hela


I read the eBook, The Wrong Fairytale by Tamar Hela, and even though I haven't read the first one in the series, I was surprised how easy it was to understand and follow the story. The author did a great job at this in my opinion.

This is a YA book, and does have some strong language that is more suitable for older children. The author does a wonderful job with the point of views as they switch back and forth between the characters. This is very well done and I didn't find it confusing like in some books.

This book has a great story line, and is very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend if you are into mythical and magical characters.

Affliction by Marilee Brothers


I finished reading the eBook, Affliction by Marilee Brothers. The book kept me intrigued from the beginning to the end. The author did a wonderful job at creating and building the characters.

I don't want to give away too much because I hate when people give away spoilers, so I will just give the synopsis that Amazon gives:
Twenty-two year old Honor Melanie (Mel) Sullivan has an affliction. Due to childhood trauma and inappropriate social behavior, she is diagnosed with Asperger's, a form of autism. But, Mel knows Asperger's is not her true affliction. She prefers not to gaze into a person’s eyes because she is a soul reader, and what she sees can be frightening. It can also get Mel into trouble. After a brush with the law, Mel leaves her family home in Southern California and travels to Oregon where she meets Harley-Davidson riding William McCarty (Billy the Kid) and stumbles upon a human trafficking/baby-selling scheme involving a foreign girl from Kazakhstan, and others. Even though Mel's life is in danger, she won't stop until she finds the answers that will help those unable to help themselves.

I really enjoyed all the mystery and plot twist in this book. I would recommend this as a good read.

Sewing Kit

I purchased this sewing kit because I thought it would be great for traveling. I am going to place it in my backpack for when I go to visit family.

The kit includes: several colors of thread, a couple of buttons, safety pins, straight pins, 2 needle threaders, several different needles, small scissors, seam ripper, measuring tape, and a thimble. The kit is in a nice canvas pouch, and it has elastic bands to hold each item in place. The zipper seems to be well made. There is nice graphics on the front of the kit.

It's About Time By Lyle Howard


This is the first book that Lyle Howard has written that I have read, and I have to say that it captured my attention from the beginning to the end. This thriller keeps you on the edge of your seat many times through the book.

The author's writing style is pretty simple which I think makes this book one that everyone could enjoy. I do think that the redundancy of the opening segment with the ships was not necessary, but you can always just skip over the second time if you don't want to repeat it. I don't want to be a spoiler so I won't mention the ending, but I will tell you I wasn't expecting it.

So here is a synopsis of the book from Amazon so you will know what the book is about. "Benjamin Franklin Digital Award SILVER HONOREE! A mysterious time travel conspiracy is about to unfold Angela Mercy, a highly trained elite bodyguard, tragically fails her chief assignment: protecting the life of the country’s leading quantum physicist. Her life is about to change, as someone else is taking over her future. A fast-paced action thriller that will grab you and not let you go.In Japan’s infamous Devil’s Triangle, a small fishing boat disappeared in a swarm of crimson fireflies. A leading quantum physicist is assassinated before his keynote speech. While in pursuit after his killers, his highly trained bodyguard, Angela, is caught in a cloud of turquoise fireflies and vanishes. A tyrannical ruler will go out on a merciless quest for immortality, and will use any measures necessary to guarantee his success. Even if it means altering the course of history. Past, present and future collide in a journey through time, mystery and suspense. Lyle Howard’s newest It’s About Time is an exhilarating read filled with unexpected twists and turns, that will take you on a rocket ride through history to reveal a suspenseful conspiracy. Suspense, Romance and Mystery in a time travel thriller you will not forget."

If you like thrillers, then this is a book you will want to read.

Stealing Love: A Humorous Romantic Novel By H. Schreter


I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is a different genre than I usually read but it kept me interested from page one until the very end.

The author did a great job with creating the characters, and every character is memorable. There is humor, wisdom, and lots of adventures through out this entire story. I am sure the main character never dreamed when he accepted the position in Romania that his vehicle would be a casket bearer for a funeral. This is just one of the many things that he encounters through out this journey.

This was a well written adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone.

Full Disclosure: I received the eBook version of this story for free; however I am under no obligation to review this story. I receive no compensation in return for this review, and I am leaving it because I would like future readers to know whether this is a good book or not. This is my honest opinion and mine alone.

Futuring the Future by Michael F. Kaufmann


I tried to read the book, Futuring the Future, by Michael F. Kaufmann, for several weeks now. I got to chapter 2, and read the same page over and over. So I sat this book aside and completely finished another book, and came back to it. Again, the same thing happened, so I put this book aside, and didn't try to finish it. I couldn't get into the story at all and found it completely confusing. The story is written in simple terms, but to me it was very confusing. I couldn't figure out who was speaking. To me it reminded me of when I did a play in high school.

I am including a synopsis from the Amazon website so you will know what the book is about. "How will the future look like? How does science, technology and human society look like when they are exhausting their full potential? An unexpected encounter changes the face of humanity and its destiny. A smart, innovating and rewarding novel that will challenge your mind. Futuring the future is an original masterpiece, which goes beyond traditional genre conformities. It brings together fiction and non-fiction to weave an illuminating text that is packed with information and loaded with inspiring novel and mind-blowing ideas. A rich cultural treasure that belongs in every intellectuals’ home. Futuring the future offers a profound and multidisciplinary look at the future - from scientific breakthroughs, through linguistic innovations, and all the way to a future mathematical gateway connecting reality to the virtual world. An interdisciplinary analysis based on a decade of research and sprinkled with nuanced humor, this is a book you will not forget."

I am giving this book a 2 star rating as I just couldn't get into it, and just didn't enjoy what I did read. I usually try to finish a book even if I don't care for it but with this one, I just had to put it away.

Ghost Sitter By Shelly Brown

I recently finished reading the eBook, Ghostsitter, by Shelly Brown. I started this book in the morning and finished by the end of the night.


   I loved how the author wrote each character. The main characters Tiffany and Justin have so much adventure and they grow to understand and realize who their real friends are.   By the end of the first chapter, I was in love with the story and the characters, especially how Tiffany realizes how much pain Justin is going through, and how they help each other out in the end.

  This of the Middle grade mystery genre, but was still a really good read.

Asthmatic Reversible Large

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP7df5cf46cfcba8e19be5947c061059c9" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>
I asked for this bracelet because I have asthma. The bracelet is made of a durable material and is pretty fashionable. On one side it has just red dots with a sign for medical and on the other side it has the words asthmatic. It is printed in very clear and legible type so it is easy to read.

I would definitely recommend if you are someone who suffers from asthma to get one of these.
