Isha Week 7: Shoulder

Instant Attraction (Wilder, #1) by Jill Shalvis

Finished: 21 January 2013
Rating:★★�

Instant Attraction was a light contemporary romance.
Cam and Katie's interaction with each other was sweet, cute and funny. It was an enjoyable read but a bit too slow paced for my liking.

Items:

Moonlight: pg 150 - He let out a low laugh and drank in the sight of her by moonlight, trying to fit into his world.
Hood: pg 270 - He wore a thick jacket with the hood up.
Shoulder: pg 3 - He had a black duffel bag slung over a shoulder...
Fruit: pg 187 - Two cherry, two apple and don't eat one on your way back.

Emergency Vehicle


Hidden Fire (Firefighters of Station Five, #3) by Jo Davis by Jo Davis
completed 1/20/13
4ÓË�

This story is about drop dead gorgeous "womanizer" Julian Salvatore and beautiful "ice queen" Grace Mckenna. It was interesting to see "why" Julian has become the way he is. Mysterious stuff from his past when he was fifteen creates the man he is today. I do enjoy all the characters of Station Five and this one was no different. Personally I really want Sean's book however I think she may be planning that for last.

p 182 Moonlight ~ He dived off the side of the bed but became tangled in the sheets, and the bastard was on him in an instant, the metal in his hand flashing in the moonlight.


p 49 Emergency Vehicle ~ "I'm gonna go make sure the ambulance is stocked.

p74 Nose ~ The aroma of scrambled eggs teased his nose and made his stomach rumble....

p 95 bra ~ Her bra went next, Julian reaching around her to unclasp it.....

Isha Week 8: Emergency Vehicle

Somebody To Love by Kristan Higgins

Finished: 19 January 2013
Rating:★★�

I think I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if it had been shorter. The 400+ pages in this book seemed unnecessary as there was not enough of a story to justify it being that long and it seemed like the author dragged the plot throughtout.

Items:

Rainbow: pg 241 - Poor little kitten went through the pearly gates into heaven, where there were rainbows and butterflies and flowers and fields,...
Necklace: pg 35 - Nothing spectacularsome aging pearl necklaces, a few antique stickpins from her grandmother.
Nose: pg 315 - She kissed Nicky's favorite stuffed animal on the nose.
Emergency Vehicle: pg 354 - Then she saw the lights. Fire trucks, the ambulance, a dozen pickup trucks and cars, in front of....

Melissa there was bra in my book but I claimed necklace instead since bra is one of the more easier items to find.


Uncalled items we may be able to claim this week:

Moonlight - thanks to ~Melissa~
Wind - since its the only weather item Dawn has left to claim
Hood - only item from clothing categeory Dusty and Zina have left to claim
Sock - only clothing item Dawn has left to claim

So that's 4 uncalled items we should be able to claim.

Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) Ok, finally picked a book.
The Sweetest Thing (Lucky Harbor, #2) by Jill Shalvis

It has every thing I need, I'll only need sky next week.

I'm at 23%, Hubby is headed out of town so I'll have more uninterupted reading time the next few days.

By my calculations there are two teams that could win if all readers are caught up (which they are not) and it had to be 3 specific items. It is possible, but not likely. It's all up to Mr. R.

Everlasting Kiss (Everlasting, #1) by Amanda Ashley by Amanda Ashley
Rating: ★★�
Finished: 1/30/12

I liked the story, but it seemed a bit tame for me. It may just be tame compared to other stuff I've been reading lately. I will probably read more from this author but I'm not racing out to buy it. There were some character flaws with secondary characters that kind of bothered me.


Pg 166 The sky was growing light in the east.

pg 78 ...and several sets of underwear in rainbow colors.



And I am done

Tangle of Need (Psy-Changeling, #11) by Nalini Singh
Finished 1/29/2013
4ÓË�

Review: This series just keeps getting better and better! This story is about Riaz and Adria - both kind of loner wolves - how they each get a second chance at love. We got to see most of the other couples together through out this one and how Hawke and Sienna are dealing with their newly mated status.


Rainbow: p 149 Soft glowing lights in all the shades of the rainbow....
Necklace: p249 "For Tarah, Indigo, and Evie, plus this gorgeous necklace for my mom"
curly hair p75 .....by a sexy dark-eyed beauty with curly blonde hair....
Fruit p 67....she grabbed an apple from the bowl by the door.

Book read: Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1) by J.R. Ward by J.R. Ward

Rating: 5 stars
Finished:Jan 31 /13
Review:
This book was gripping and mind blowing. Danger and sexy scenes with a lot of hold your breath moments. Vampires coming to terms with their inner struggles, fighting an age old war, falling in love and bonding to their mates... Love it!

Wrath is the strong vampire hero character with a huge self damaging past. He's sexy, strong, and has some very twisted inner feelings. He is a kickass and ask questions later! kind of dude. Wraith falls in love with the 1/2 human daughter of his friend,Darius, who he swears to protect.

Beth is a classy and smart reporter for a local paper. Knowing nothing of Wrath's world or the world of her father, she finds out about it through Wrath and his brothers. The desire and passion between these two is compelling and so hot that the page sizzles.

J. R. Ward took the time to put her own spin on the world of vampires, and it's awesome! I love that vampires aren't truly immortal, that they don't drink from and kill humans, and that the "slayers" are creepy as all get out!

Items Found
Rainbow
p.300
....A RAINBOW sprang from the contact....

CAKE
p.98
....standing like decorations on a green marzipan CAKE....

ELBOW
p.204
....sitting on the couch ELBOWS on his knees....
