The Baby Bargain

The Baby Bargain by Jennifer Apodaca

Review The Baby Bargain is a cute story, it just tugs at the heart strings. It’s a good book for a feel-good pick-me-up. Meg is working hard to forget Adam and build her vet practice when he walks in with an injured dog he comes across while he’s in town. The tension is immediate and palpable, since they’ve always lusted after each other but he is afraid of a future with her and she is afraid he will break her heart again, not to mention, he has a son he doesn’t know about. The intensity between them is delicious and… Read more »

Vanish (Firelight #2)

Vanish (Firelight #2) by Sophie Jordan

Review Such a great follow-up to Firelight, Vanish kept me on the edge of my seat. Jacinda, Tamra and their mother have been dragged back to the pride by Cassian.  Maybe dragged isn’t the word, but they don’t go willingly.  Tamra is not what she thought she was; now she’s possibly more valuable than Jacinda.  Cassian is still determined to have Jacinda, and Jacinda, who thought she knew her own heart, now doesn’t know what to do.  Oh the delicious teenaged angst! So the alpha of the Pride is pissed at Jacinda for leaving, and then endangering the pride by… Read more »
