Rating: 3 stars
Review:A nice little suspense/mystery with a smidgen of romance. I was impressed with the outcome, not who I was thinking.

Boots: He donned a drab olive rain slicker and jammed his feet into iron-toed work boots. (p. 10)

Wind: His thick brown hair always settled in perfect order, no matter which way the wind blew.(p. 12)

Elbow: From her vantage point on the second floor, she could see them elbow their way through the crowd, dodging the media and all their paraphernalia. (p. 113)

Fruit: And it has Marionberries in it, so there’s my serving of fruit.�� (p. 101).

I placed points request for boots, wind, sky,and elbow. Great Job Everyone!

How do you do page count on kindle app? I have been trying to figure this out for awhile now any help would be great.

Mostly he said she saids. I've seen a few other people state they have seen online that 10-11 pages = 200 kindle locations. In my experience it is closer to 12-15.

However, you also have to take into account that the teasers at the end of the book are not included in paperback page numbers but are included in kindle locations. So to make it acurate you have to go from the end of the story location, not necesarily all the location. I know Ive finished a few books and was only at 75% through with it.

Points awarded for Boots, Sky, wind and elbow.

Week 5 - Bike

by Sharon Ashwood

Finished: 1/2/13
Rating: 3 stars

Review:

If I was just rating this book on the overall plot and world that Ashwood has created, I think it would be a solid 4 stars. However, I had a really hard time liking the romance element to the story. During romance scenes, I'd find myself just wanting to get back to the main storyline, which doesn't usually happen to me. I just didn't feel the connection between Holly and Alessandro that was supposed to be there. That being said though, I will give book 2 a try at some point.

Items
Bike - Kindle Loc 4504 "Dodging behind a bicycle rack..."

Review: this was a very enjoyable read a little slow in some parts. I liked seeing mattias evolved through the book especially since this is his second go around. I use to be a bigger jr ward fan but not liking her newer books as much.

Bike pg 114 you took that bike
Shoulder pg 40 glanced over her shoulder
Belt pg 10 the belt that hung loose
Rainbow pg 421 the rainbow colored bubbles
