In Franklin's House ReviewIn Franklin's House by Beverly Lauderdale is a poignant story filled with rich descriptions that depict the anguish of a wife whose husband cheated on her with the wife of his business partner. Because of his indiscretions, the family is uprooted, moving from Iowa to California. However, the couple's only child, Molly, refuses to move with them, choosing instead to complete her senior year in high school in her hometown.
From the moment of her arrival in the old house they purchased in California, Kate begins to make discoveries. She finds a necklace and a diary that once belonged to Amy Elliott, an owner of the home in the early 1900s. When Kate puts on the ceramic necklace, to her disbelief, a man appears and tells her that by wearing the jewelry she will summon him. Not frightened by the ghost, Kate develops a friendship with him, even agreeing to help him get his poetry published. At the town library, she learns what she can about Franklin who built the house for his wife, Amy, and who died soon after in a tragic horse riding accident. Kate develops an unlikely friendship with Lorraine, a part-time librarian and hippy who enjoys cheap red wine and sailing.
Whether or not the reader believes in ghosts, In Franklin's House is a hard book to put down, and it's difficult to let go of the compelling characters. I look forward to reading more of Lauderdale's work.

In Franklin's House OverviewIn an isolated, turn-of-the-last century house set on a Northern California hillside, Kate steps into a deserted room that exudes a strange appeal. Based largely on her reaction to this room, she decides to buy the Victorian and to move from Iowa with husband Dan, whose affair has rocked their marriage.Lost in this California environment far from her home and familiar things, Kate is drawn repeatedly to the upstairs room where she finds a diary written in 1906, and a delicate rose bud necklace. The diarist describes visits from her deceased husband, Franklin Elliott, a poet. Captivated by their devotion to each other, Kate can't resist doning the necklace, which, to her amazement provides a portal though which Franklin can enter Kate's world.

The Other Sister ReviewThe Other Sister
S.T. Underdahl. Minnesota: Woodbury, 2007. 248 pp. $8.95.
ISBN 978-0-7387-0933-8
What if everything you thought about your own family was a big, fat lie? This thought springs into the mind of fifteen-year-old Josey after her parents reveal a secret that could change her life forever. Everyone hopes that they have a normal family with very little or no secrets among them, and for Josey Muller, it seemed like she had that life. She has a Mother and a Father who love her and two brothers, who at times drive her crazy, care for her too. We are greeted with a cover of The Other Sister, with the word other out of place in a black hole. This other is significant and highlights the beginning of Josey's discoveries.
Fifteen-year-old Josey Muller is the only daughter of Anne and Bill Muller. Or at least that is what she thinks until her Mother springs the news that she has an older sister. Audrey Merriday is ten years older than Josey and was born while Josey's parents were in High School. Their parents forced them to put her up for adoption merely only a minute after being born. Audrey has now contacted her mother through an adoption agency and her Mom is more excited and happy than Josey has ever seen her.
For Josey Muller, this is not pretend...it is her life. Suddenly she's not the only daughter, and sister of her two brothers. This girl Audrey, her older sister, is all her parents can talk about. She wants to be in high spirits like her Mom, but how is she supposed to be thrilled when her entire world has gone topsy-turvy? Is it possible that she could ever enjoy having a sister? "I hoped I wasn't going to start passing out whenever anyone referred to Audrey as a member of the family, like some kind of post-hypnotic suggestion" (121). Josey feels displaced that her parents are ecstatic and her brothers are adjusting fairly well. She is no longer the only girl. She is no longer the middle child. She is now the other daughter, and she is not quite sure how to act around the newfound sister.
A Theme that progresses throughout the book is `Don't judge a book by its cover'. The book stands close to that saying in a way that Josey is learning not to make assumptions without fully knowing about the circumstances. Getting to know Audrey not only as a person, but also as a sister is going to be difficult for the whole family, particularly Josey, but she can't get carried away with judgments that she isn't equip to make.
The only way Josey can deal with these occurrences is to take a step back and truly see not only how she feels but also how her sister feels. There are two parts to every story and Josey just needs to step out of the box and take an outlook from Audrey's shoes. By Josey worrying about how the situation was affecting her family, and most of all herself, she was forgetting that Audrey was left dangling between two families. Will Josey give the situation a chance?
Tender and heartfelt, The Other Sister is brimming with emotion. Josey's struggle to cope with news and find her place is easy to relate to. Even though she does come off selfish and for a teenager, way in control, but I think it's a teenager's nature to pretend to be that way. And although some ideas don't get through as easily as expected, it causes you to be thinking in Josey's shoes, you are caught in the act of laughing and crying with Josey. Relatable and eye-opening, The Other Sister gives readers a chance to see behind the scenes of adoption reunions.

Bargain with the Devil ReviewF.J. Chase has done it again, even better than before, with BARGAIN WITH THE DEVIL. From page one Peter Avakian takes us into his world of action packed, believable adventure. I thought he was thrilling in China..........well, his escapades in South Africa are unimaginable, and yet so real. Anyone who knows anything about South Africa knows how dangerous situations there can become, and Peter has found them all. If you want a read that can not be put down, this is it. Amazing. How does F.J. Chase come up with these stories? Who knows, but please keep them coming...........
# 1 Fan...............TSBargain with the Devil OverviewSecurity consultant Peter Avakian's job is to keep people safe, and that's not always easy. Even his Special Forces training couldn't have prepared him for a routine business proposal that was anything but. By simply acknowledging the offer, Avakian becomes snarled in a complex plot to stage a political coup in central Africa. With no way out, he turns to the CIA—and is forced to become their mole inside the conspiracy.Pulled into a shadow world of nations battling over the world's oil supply, drug dealers financing revolutions, and gunrunners on sale to the highest bidder, it's all Avakian can do to stay alive. And that may depend less on his lethal skills than on two women: a CIA agent and a South African reporter after a story. Will they save him, or will they betray him?It's anyone's guess, especially his.

The Virgin Billionaire's Wedding ReviewReading the first book, I didn't realize how closely it was related to other movies... but reading this second book was almost a gay version of The Proposal with Sandra Bullock. After the first few scenes, I knew what was coming because I had seen the movie. It was so hard to read. The only difference was that Jase and Luis were in love from the start... but every situation, issue, and even some lines felt right out of the movie. The author could have done so much more to make a funny story out of the Tennessee-New York Luis interacting in Alaska... it could have been great.The Virgin Billionaire's Wedding Overview

According To Plan ReviewShelby and Tank have a tumultuous past...mainly him leaving her for another woman with no warning. Now they are back in each others lives for longer then their last few booty call hookups. Shelby has been assigned a new case, one she knows no one is telling her the whole truth about. Nothing feels right about it, other the Tank shacking up at their house again. Shelby isn't dumb though, and if she can get out from under tank's watchful eye she might be able to unravel the case of the missing socialite Harrison.
Tank never wanted to hurt Shelby, but with her in the cross hairs of a big crime boss, he did what he had to do. Now he's back, and looking to make Shelby his again, but he still can't tel her the whole truth. There are things about him she can't know....for now. When the action hits a little close to home again, is Tank willing to lay it all out there?

LOVED this book. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I absolutely adore Madison Edwards and she has now become a go to author for me. I found According To Plan to be highly engaging, quirky, sexy and just downright fun to read! I loved Shelby and her infectious personality. She was funny and snarky and I just loved her attitude and take on life. She is a no holds barred type of girl but when it comes to Tank she just can't say no. No matter how much her heart doesn't want to be broken again when he leaves her, her body craves him and is drawn to him again and again. I thought her inability to "pull one over" on Tank was hilarious and how he turned the tables on her every time great! She just couldn't understand how he was always one step ahead of her.
Oh my goodness, Tank.....*le sigh*...What can I say? I do love a big hulk of a man who isn't afraid to give a girl whats coming to her. *WINK* He was awesome. His ability of giving Shelby exactly what she needed when she didn't know she needed it was just great. I felt for him having to leave her the first time, but thought his coming back every so often was a bit selfish. He obviously knew how much it hurt her when he left, but he still showed up occasionally for some quick, hot sex and then left again, tearing new holes in her fragile heart. Otherwise, wow, protective, big....heh...and incredibly sexy. Where can I find me one of those?
My biggest gripe with this one is that about half way through the book the story line changes and it threw me for a loop. When the story opens Shelby has been hired to find the socialite Harrison. That is pretty much resolved about the half way mark and then another side story line becomes center show. I would have much rather Edwards have stuck to one main protagonist. I think either story line could have been greatly expanded on if given the chance and I would have liked it much better. As it was things got a big disjointed in the middle with Shelby losing her memory before picking back up again around the 3/4 mark. Though at that point, the feel of the story was a bit different so some readers may not be able to reconnect with the other protagonist.
I enjoyed the action this book provided and thought that Tank lived up to his role as Hero. I also really liked his ability to share his emotions. The sex scenes were SMOKING HOT and were incredibly well wrote. There is no room for imagination with Edwards writing, whoa they were.....just whoa! The book is neatly wrapped up at the end. I can see how some people may not like the neat ending but I loved how it fit in with the story title and so I liked it. Also, I'm a sucker for those happily ever after endings. :)
According To Plan is a great addition to any contemporary romance library! I loved most every aspect of this one and can't wait to see what Madison Edwards churns out next! Let's hope Tank has a long lost brother out there ;)
I give According To Plan by Madison Edwards 4 stars!
Nikki- Ramblings From A Chaotic MindAccording To Plan OverviewWhat do you do when things don't go According to Plan? For starters, you trick, deceive, and lie to the very person who ruined your best laid plans.Welcome to the world of Shelby Stewart, Private Investigator, who's been hired to find Harrison Grant. To complicate matters further, her ex-partner, ex-lover, ex-everything Tank shows up looking for Harrison as well, albeit for a very different reason. Harry is the prime suspect in the grisly murder of a call girl, Lulu, in L.A.That wouldn't be so bad, but Tank plans on staying at Shelby's house, and makes it obvious he's quite willing to help her heat the sheets, again. Shelby knows that sex with Tank is dangerous, fast, and sometimes a little dirty. Now is not the time to become side-tracked. Besides, this job could launch her company into a whole new stratosphere, so it's imperative she remain focused.Frustration becomes Shelby's newest partner as she makes plans to out maneuver Tank in their parallel quest. Tank, on the other hand, is always one step ahead of the game--and is not what, or who, Shelby thought.

Second Chances ReviewTwo lonely strangers stranded at an airport on New Years Eve share a passionate, soul-stirring kiss. Their brief interlude is one that Matt Holt and Billie Jean Walker will never forget.
Two years later, Matt's son Scott arrives home from college for the summer with 3 friends in tow, and Matt is shocked to see that one of them is Billie Jean. Matt and Billie don't share with Scott and his friends that they have previously met. Although Scott has never been more than good friends with Billie, things become a bit awkward when he feels he must compete with his father for Billie's attention. Billie has a lot of baggage that neither Scott or Matt are aware of, so after a few weeks she heads home to confront her evil father Jarrod, who has emotionally abused her her entire life, and try to settle matters at hand. Months later, mentally and physically exhausted, she returns to Matt's ranch, and here's where things get really convoluted...just when I think this girl knows what she's doing and a good man when she sees it....well, you get the picture!
Having missed this book the first time around, and reading all the great reviews about it, I could hardly wait to read it. And it was good, but so, so sad....will Billie Jean ever get it right? Will she ever stop crying? Will she ever tell anyone, especially the man who loves her, the whole truth? And do men like Matt (and Scott) really exist? I doubt most have the patience, or the financial means, to do all the things Matt does for Billie, which is where the book borders on unbelievable. I love most of Sharon Sala's books, the Gambler's Daughters being some of the best I have ever read. Halfway through this book, it became too bogged down with sad emotions and tears, with too few happy pages at the end for my liking.Second Chances Overview
It was the kind of encounter Billie had seen only in the movies, and never dreamed could happen to her. A rugged, sexy cowboy appeared from out of nowhere to stir her passions -- and then, just as quickly, he was gone. For one brief moment in time the wall Billie had built around her heart tumbled, though she believed their fiery passion would forever be no more than a bittersweet memory.

But fate leads her to a sprawling Texas ranch, and he is there again -- Matt, her handsome, mysterious stranger, the best thing that had ever happened to her. And now a voice inside her is telling her to run fast and far away. But Matt let Billie go once he's not going to make the same mistake again -- because nothing on earth will stop him from grabbing a second chance at love.

Beyond Recognition ReviewThis fourth book in Pearson's Seattle based detective novel, BEYOND RECOGNITION, kept me hook from the very first chapter. For anyone who calls the Pacific Northwest home, Pearson's books are realistic. It was difficult to second guess each new turn and twist Pearson has planned for Lou Bodt and Daphne Matthews. His continued development of character personalities is great. The characters grow with each new book and there is just the right mix of new people too. The aronist angle was well developed and believable. The only complaint is the book was to long, much longer than his earlier books. I would have enjoyed BEYOND RECOGNITION if it had been about 75% of the pages. Still I would recommend the entire series to everyone living the Pacific Northwest.Beyond Recognition Overview

Bad Guys ReviewZack Walker, features writer for the Metropolitan newspaper, has had some really busy nights lately. He's been assigned to write about the life of PI Lawrence Jones, who's been staking out high-end men's clothing stores targeted by crash-and-grab thieves. When Zack's off duty, he occasionally checks up on his eighteen-year-old daughter's whereabouts. Zack's perpetual worries about Angie's safety soar into overdrive when he learns she has a stalker. Angie doesn't take the stalker seriously, but when Zack and Lawrence catch him hiding behind Zack's garage, Lawrence volunteers to check the kid out. Before he can tell Zack what he's learned, Lawrence is stabbed. Meanwhile, for reasons Zack doesn't understand, the clothing thieves learn who Zack is and go after him.
Linwood Barclay's BAD GUYS is a perfect blend of humour and drama, twists and turns, that come together in a truly suspenseful ending. Zack's attempts to keep tabs on Angie have a way of backfiring, which creates some really funny moments. As a parent of teens, I related to his worries, frustrations, and growing helplessness as his daughter charges into the world--driver's license in hand--with the kind of confidence, optimism, and naivety only the young have. I liked many characters in this book, and kudos to Mr. Barclay for creating some of the strangest and most memorable bad guys I've read in a long time. If you're looking for pure entertainment and enjoyment, pick up BAD GUYS and get ready for one heck of a ride.

The Last Family ReviewA great debut novel. It was hard to put dowm. Mr Miller has written a very entertaining, action-packed, fast-paced, compelling book. The characters were great, the villain was incredibly scary and believable and Paul Masterson was great, flaws and all. I can't wait to read his next novel. A sequel would be great.

The Chocolate Bridal Bash (Chocoholic Mysteries, No. 6) ReviewLee McKinney and Joe Woodyard have finally set a date for their wedding. The only problem is getting Lee's mother, Sally, to come. While trying to understand why her mother doesn't want to come, Lee unearths a family secret. Her mother originally left Warner Pier on what would have been her wedding day.
This is a chapter in her mother's life that Lee knew nothing about. Further investigating turns up that Sally's finacee was found dead in his car on their wedding day. His death was ruled a suicide.
Despite warnings that what happened is in the past, Lee's curiosity gets the better of her. She begins to spend time digging in the old newspapers, trying to make sense of events that took place before she was even born. Then Lee and Joe stumble over a very recent dead body. Whatever was having thirty plus years ago, someone still wants it to stay buried. But just what happened on that fateful night? Will Sally be in danger if she comes to the wedding?
This book is easily my favorite in the series. The action starts quickly and the pace never lags. While I can usually figure out the ending early, this one had me going until the very end. While I did put the pieces together a little before Lee, it was only by a few pages.
With the focus on the past, many of the characters from previous books are reduced to cameos. Giving the recurring characters more page time would have just slowed down the story, something I am glad didn't happen. The cast of new characters is engaging, and they more then made up for the reduced roll the regulars had.
About the only problem with the book is Lee's tongue tangles. While they had been diminishing in the last few installments, here they are back in force. While a few sprinkled throughout the book make me chuckle, here they began to get annoying.
I couldn't put this book down but raced through it to see how the story ended. Any fan of the series will love the latest tasty treat.The Chocolate Bridal Bash (Chocoholic Mysteries, No. 6) OverviewBride-to-be Lee McKinney has butted heads with her future mother-in-law over her upcoming wedding. The last thing she needs is trouble with her own mom, who doesn't even want to be at the wedding if it takes place in Warner Pier, her hometown...So Lee asks her Aunt Nettie at the chocolate shop for advice. There, the bride learns that years earlier, her mother fled on what would have been her own wedding day-hours before her fiancé was found dead. Now, to smooth things over, Lee must untangle a mystery older than she is.

Following the trail, Dev accompanied by Lark go from Southern California to Mexico with each clue making both fear for the child. The case has turned personal for Dev who cares for the child he has not met fearing she has been sold into sexual slavery and especially for the frantic aunt who begged him to find her.
