A better love story than.....

Father and son have come together to bring us this brilliant tale! For those who enjoyed the popular vampire teenage love tale, this masterpiece blows it out of the water.

Alex is a young man who is in love with Misea. They spend all of their time together as young lovers do. The only exception is that she is a werewolf, and he is not, not yet that is. He tells her that he wants to become what she is. Misea is a bit reluctant, but because her love for him is strong, she gives in.

Now unlike the other stories, this is not a soft, lovey dovey type of change. It is hard and brutal, but she loves him after all and will do anything for him.

This will keep you panting for more. The story is intense, well written and draws you in right from the start. It is so descriptive that with every word you read, you see what they see and feel what they feel!

Bravo gentleman, this is just what romantic horror is all about, hats off to you both!

Fangy Fun!

Cute little short story about a Vampire in love with a Werewolf.

This could easily be the first chapter of a full length novel.

Would love to read more!

Good

It was a cute and romantic short story. It would have made a good lengthy book. But I liked it.

Stronger than the Blood: A Tale of Wolves and Vampires

Easy read however for me it fell short. Overall I enjoyed the material.

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

29 year-old professor of Modern Literature Astrid Kent is enjoying her summer in Seattle when she gets a call that catapults her back into her sordid past. Her mother, famous artist Maeve Garza Kent, has died suddenly back in Brownsville, Texas, and Astrid has inherited her home and other belongings - including an ex-lover in residence.

Astrid goes reluctantly back to her childhood home, La Casa de la Luz. She soon realizes the house and grounds have secrets when her mother's ghost appears to her, she finds a letter and a coded note that say "trust no one," and she sees someone prowling around at night. Matters are complicated since Astrid is drawn to two men who spend time at La Casa: Manfred Banes, a painter with looks just as Nordic and chilly as his personality and the dark and driven Juan Marquez who broke her heart years before and is rumored to be in the drug trade. Astrid must determine whom she can trust before present events spiral beyond her control.

Too Quick of a Finish

I'm somewhat disappointed in this book. I've read work by this author before, & enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of this one.

Astrid Kent must return to her childhood home in Texas after the death of her mother, & she hasn't been there since she left for college (and for good reason too!). While working on things such as the inheritance, Juan -a boyfriend who left her heartbroken- reenters her life, & despite all of the warnings she gives herself, she finds it hard to stay away. Her stress level & worry only intensifies when she meets a local artist named Manfred who is just as captivating, though in all of the opposite ways from Juan. Though she feels an attraction to both, words from her late mother keep resounding in her head- trust no one.

The first ninety percent of this book was well written. The characters were well thought out, the language was descriptive. It was a fairly quick read with a steady plot, & I liked the premise.

However, in the last twenty pages or so, the book fell apart for me. The climax was intended to shock, but for me it just seemed completely random. I actually had to go back & reread what happened, because I thought I missed something in this final, rapid race to the end. I could have lived with that plot twist though, had it not ended the way it did. It only made me dislike Astrid & made me wished that she hadn't been saved from the story's danger.

All in all, this book was okay. Not amazing, not horrible. I'm extremely torn on my opinion, since I did like a lot of this book, but hated the end. My final opinion: Read it for yourself. I give it a neutral three out of five, because the bad counters the good

This was disgusting

*SPOILER ALERT*

This was really weird and in my opinion gross. The Heroine had no self-respect and I had no respect for her. The "Hero" was a real perv. To sum it up the heroine finds her fiance and her mother making out in her mother's bedroom. She leaves home and does not return until she is notified by a lawyer of her mother's death. Imediately upon her return home and before her mother's memorial service occurs, her step-father (heroine's former fiance) starts coming on to her and telling her that he loves her and that he loved her mother too.

The Long Moon

The Long Moon

Author: Stephy Smith

Published by Astraea Press

When Carson Long hears what his friend and mentor has done, he knows he's in trouble. Forced to share a ranch, partly now his own with River Moon wouldn't have been his first choice in the future he had mapped out for himself. But when circumstances dictate that he and River need to work together to save the farm and themselves, old tensions, and the loves and hurts of a long ago romance boil quickly to the surface. Can they ever forgive each other and move forwards? And can they do it in time to save what they hold dear?

The Long Moon began with promise. The character of Moon, in particular shines with authenticity, wit and sparkle, and he was easily my favourite character to read about. The Long Moon combines a fast moving, dangerous plot to rid the central characters of their land and livelihoods, with the struggle of both River and Carson to regain the romance they thought was lost for good.

The plotline of the story was fast paced, and during the action and investigation sections of the book; kept me interested and enertained. There were other moments in the book, such as the story of where River got her name that were thoroughly enjoyable and brought a smile to my face.

Sadly though, I found the romance between River and Carson to be quite forced - I never really felt any great chemistry between them, and therefore I didn't get swept away by the quite significant romantic element in the book. There's a lot of excess description in the book, and the author may do better in showing more and telling less. There were also some editing/spelling/grammar issues that would have benefited greatly from a more intensive editing process.

There is some promise in the characters though, and with a little more polish, I think it would have been a more enjoyable read.

3\5

fun read!

This is a fun, sweet contemporary romance set on a farm. If you love handsome cowboy's, stubborn women, cranky old men, greedy sisters and sneaky rustlers then I think you will enjoy this story. I could relate to River about assuming things and jumping to conclusions. I can say I am guilty of doing this on at least one occasion. How about you?

Carson is leery when it come to River. She has hurt him before. So, can River and Carson have a second chance? Can they forgive and forget? You will have to read it to see. But, I can say I was happy how things turn out. Though I did want a little more like a epilogue with them a few years down the road.

One of my favorite part was the story River's father told Carson about how River got her name. I was ginning with how uncomfortable Carson must have been. I am glad to discover a new author and will be on the look out for more from Ms. Smith.

Lots of little misunderstandings

I read this book as part of the "Small Town Girls" bundle on KU. Again this is an older story, lacking in modern technology. Also it was quite funny to read about the morals of the day. The H doesn't want to sleep with the h in the old lady's house because it showed lack of respect. The old lady in question was in hospital at the time. Lol. It's one of those stories where there are lots of misunderstandings between the main character. This one had all the elements of a good story but failed to live up to the promise. The H is a successful thriller writer and comes to the h's town to give a course at the university where the h works as a professor. The sparks fly from the beginning. In the background the h lives with a lovely old lady in a beautiful old mansion. The old lady's only daughter went missing about 35 yrs before and she's never given up on finding her. The H becomes interested in the story when the h tells him about it. Perhaps there's another novel there? I wouldn't pay for this book but it was ok reading it as part of the bundle on KU.

mystery/romance---fun

Dr. Sara comes to New England's Chandler College, recuperating from a broken heart, in a peaceful loving community. She soon meets Adam, a famous mysery writer. He's attractive and enthusiatic. Soon, he finds a real-life mystery that threatens

to rattle Sara's peaceful world....

Simple and Sweet

Sometimes it's the simple pleasures in life that bring us the most happiness, which Cathy Tully shows in "All You Need Is Love". Two people are thrown together by man's best friend, and the love that they develop for this dog, Little Man, is the catalyst for their own relationship. A sweet and endearing read. Hope to see more books from this author!

A sweet read, especially for dog lovers!

"All You Need is Love" is not typically my type of book; I'm not one for romance novels. But I gave it a shot, and it's not what I thought. It's a sweet read, and perfect for any dog lover.

Five Stars

GREAT READ

There's potential but it just didn't develop

Review originally posted at Romancing the Book

What first caught my attention about the blurb of this book was that it reminded me a little of the movie âYouâve Got Mailâ. Remember that one? Meg Ryan loses her family bookstore thanks to the mega bookstore that swoops in to town run by Tom Hanks. âAll You Need is Loveâ has a lot of the same elements.

Caitlyn (in the blurb itâs spelled with a âKâ and in the book itâs spelled with a âCâ) goes to Massachusetts to take care of her ailing grandmother and takes a part time job as a dog walker. Sheâs recovering for several upsets in her life â namely the loss of her familyâs beloved cafe and a breakup with a boyfriend.

Enter Jack DeVane. He is the workaholic stereotype that we all have seen before and his main problem is that heâs got a stray dog that he doesnât want or have time for.

Now, these two have their âcute meetâ but beyond that this story if fairly predictable and at times tedious and boring. Between the too often used descriptions of the dog getting sick/peeing/pooping and the length of time it takes our hero and heroine to actually admit to any kind of attraction, I found myself losing interest.

It was a cute story that had a lot of potential but the author just never seemed to let any scenes develop. They get rushed and way too much focus is on the dog. Iâm all for the cute pet bringing people together but most readers want to see whatâs going on with the humans and how that relationship is building â not what the dog is doing.

Interesting Read

The benefits of having a pet, especially a dog, is widely known, and workaholic Jack DeVane is about to find that out. His beliefs, values and in the end, his life, will be changed due to one dog. Not just because of the dog, though. It will be changed because Caitlyn Stiles entered his life.

Publisher's Summary:

When Sharley Collins finds her fiancé in the arms of another woman just a week before the wedding - and Spence Greenfield refuses to explain his actions - she calls off the marriage and retreats to the family cabin in the woods. But Spence thinks the cabin would be a good place to hide out, too - and together they wind up spending a very singular honeymoon.

Hero caught w/ silk-robed OW in his arms. Why is the heroine doing the crawling? Makes me want to smash something!

SINGULAR HONEYMOON BY LEIGH MICHAELS

FROM BACK COVER: "If you loved me, you'd trust me!"

Did everybody in Hammond's Point know that Spence Greenfield was having an affair with his secretary? Everyone, that is, but Sharley?

Spence's whirlwind courtship had swept Sharley off her feet and she was madly-passionately-in love with him. But that was before she'd walked into THEIR new home and discovered a half-naked woman in his arms. As if that wasn't bad enough, he refused to even try to explain!

So, instead of being on her honeymoon, here she was alone and snowbound in an isolated cabin, her heart as broken as her engagement. And then Spence walked in on her....

*SPOILERS*

It's eight days before the wedding. Heroine walked in on her fiance and his secretary, wearing silk dressing gown, crying on his shoulder. Hero is saying "It can't go on like this, Wendy." His voice was low and husky.

Hero pales on seeing heroine. When asked for explanation, OW panics and tells hero "No, you can't, Spence." And so he heeds her words and stays silent. The heroine slams out the door.

Later, hero goes after her. When heroine again demands explanation, he says: "Trust me, Sharley. It's not what you think...Do you love me, Sharley? If you care for me at all...You'd take my word for it, if you loved me enough." And, yep, he's dead serious about keeping shtum, too.

WTH? Is this guy for real? He doesn't consider what the heroine's terrible feelings / thoughts whic, by the way, are only NORMAL responses to the scene she walked in on? What if it had been her in some man's arms? How would he react? He's asking for blind trust from the heroine when, in reality they'd only known one another 3 months ago? How selfish is this guy that he couldn't empathize, couldn't meet her concerns halfway?

And so, the heroine cancels the wedding. So far, so good. Except that the minute she does, she starts thinking up excuses for the hero and cajole him into telling her what exactly happened. She's grovelling, literally begging him to make her understand (and put her out of her misery). Again, WTH? Why is she even grovelling?

She might have saved her breath. Hero's responses do not vary. Here's a very telling exchange between them.

(Heroine) "Are you asking me to forgive you?"

He didn't answer right away, and when he did, his voice was curt. "Not exactly."

"Because you didn't do anything, is that correct?" Sharley's words dripped sarcasm. "You expect me to believe that, when I was there? I know what I saw, Spence!"

He dropped another log onto the fire with a crash which sent sparks and soot flying. "I don't expect anything from you anymore."

"Good," she said.

Her headache was pounding even more fiercely now. That was no surprise, Sharley thought.
