Hello, my fellow readers! It has been a while since I have posted anything. I have been out of town so I apologize for the delay. I have read several books so bare with me while I play catch up. After finishing Michele Bardsley's, 'Broken Heart' series, I started on Susan Mallery's newest to her 'Fool's Gold' series, "Only His."
"Only His," featured Nevada Hendrix and Tucker Janack. Nevada is trying to go out on her own when it comes to her career. However when interviewing for a new job she didn't think she'd run into her past, Tucker. Years ago, she had a crush on Tucker however he was dating Cat at the time. Thanks to Cat, Nevada had one night with Tucker but when it was over he didn't even know her name. Due to embarrassment and heartache she never talked to either of them again. Now Tucker is back for a while in Fool's Gold and Cat has managed to come for a visit as well. Will Nevada and Tucker manage to have a relationship this time or will Cat interfere again? Nevada isn't the only one falling in love...Jo, the owner of the local bar, meets Will, one of Tucker's workers. Jo has guarded her heart due to mistakes from her past however she lets down her wall for Will. When she finally comes clean with Will, is he able to handle her past even though it reminds him of his own?
I really enjoyed this book because of the different love relationships between several of the character's. Susan is an excellent writer, she knows how to dazzle you with words and dialogue. I cannot wait to see what's next for Fool's Gold!
Up next is Kerrelyn Sparks new book "Sexiest Vampire Alive." Gregori is a bottle-fed vampire, meaning he has never bitten a mortal for food. When a video is leaked showing vampires are real, Gregori is asked to be their spokesperson. When he goes to meet the President, he didn't count on falling for the President's daughter, Abigail. Abigail is a scientist working on a cure to help her mother. When she finds out Gregori has special abilities they go on a trip together to find plants to help with her research. Along the way not only do they run into trouble and a near death experience but they also fall in love. In the end is Abigail able to forgive Gregori for a mistake he made in order to protect vampires? This book was full of strong characters, witty dialogue, and of course twists and turns! I look forward to Kerrelyn's next book for this series.
The next book I read was for book club, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," by Rebecca Skloot. This book was very interesting especially since it is a true story. I enjoyed learning about Henrietta and how her cancer cells were the first to live and duplicate. They were used for many things and one was to help find a cure for polio. Rebecca was able to capture as much as she could in regards to how Henrietta lived and how she was treated medically. Many people today do not know what HeLa cells are and how they have benefited medical history. As for her family it was an eye opener to see how they grew up and how they were treated. Definitely a good book to discuss!
Now I have started the 'Twilight Series' by Stephenie Meyer. I have completed books 1, 2, and 3. I will tell my thoughts once I have finished book 4. So far I am intrigued with the series and look forward to seeing how it will end.
Stay tuned...
