Jordan Malone has spent what has felt like a lifetime in the Elite Ops. He has worked closely with his team, in particular Tehya Talamosi for the past six years. Tehya joined the Elite Ops due to her specialized communications skills. Ironically, her father, a white slaver is the enemy, having killed a good friend of Jordan’s and who tortured and killed Theya’s mother. She has worked as Jordan’s personal assistant among other things. Jordan’s SEALs training has taught him never make friends with those you could lose – so he has hardened himself to push everyone away. He has convinced himself that love will never be possible. The last few years though, watching and lusting after Tehya has been pure agony. He has tried to ignore her, tried to make his feelings go away. But he has many enemies – enemies that would pursue and hurt Tehya if he ever acknowledged more with her. Now, it is the last night before Tehya leaves for good – she is heading back into civilization to start her life over after her death was staged so enemies would not pursue her. Jordan has to make the decision to follow suit or lead a new team in a few months. This last night together, where they are the only ones left the air is thick with tension. They give into a night of passion – but at the end there is only heartbreak. They both know nothing can come of this – and with much sadness they part ways. Nine months later, Jordan intercepts a communication of someone who has located Tehya’s new existence. Tehya is now living in Hagerstown, MD, owning a small landscaping company, trying to live an anonymous existence. Jordan assembles a team and rushes to keep her safe, but Tehya is not ready to be on the run again. Live Wire is book six in Lora Leigh’s Elite Ops book. The first that I have read, but it read very nice as a stand alone. I do believe many of the supporting characters appear in the previous books, but I didn’t feel like I was missing out on the storyline. This is actually the first full-length book by Lora Leigh I have read. I read it in almost one sitting, so it definitely kept my attention. It has a very, very alpha male in Jordan. Tehya and Jordan’s relationship – or their on and off relationship takes center stage. They have one night of hot lovin’ before Tehya runs for the hills. It takes nine months and Tehya’s life threatened for Jordan to come back into her life. The big conflict revolves around Jordan feeling like he can’t commit himself to anyone, since experiencing devastating loss in the past. Actually, I sometimes felt like this fear he has is a little unfounded. Because we are told Tehya is in love with him, waiting for him to come around. But once Jordan is there – Tehya is the one that is always running. So I’m not sure if I fully believed in Jordan’s resistance. As I said, this is the first Lora Leigh book I have read and the sex scenes definitely lived up to the hype I have read about. They are very edgy, dirty, and oh so smexy. There is enough erections, tight balls, and fluids to last me for a good while. I enjoyed them – definitely not the run of the mill sex scene. Maybe not the most romantic scenes in a romance book – but they are intense and memorable. However, the continuation of them having this hot, emotional sex followed by both of them pushing away from the other got a little old after awhile. My biggest complaint with this one is Tehya. She has worked for years in Elite Ops yet still when runs into trouble, refuses to seek refuge. Several people come out to risk their lives, and she acts immature and whiney. I just didn’t see her as an Elite Operative. She has been on the run for most of her life, and is sick of it. But, she knows her father was truly an evil man and most likely the people after her will torture or do worse to her if caught. So why walk around so nonchalant? She knows the life she is in – she may not have chosen in, but it is her life. Her attitude wore on my nerves through a lot of the book. I don’t know if I’ve ever said this in a review, but I have to note the editing in this book surprised me. Numerous times I found misspelled words or a duplicate or missing word. I read the finished version as well, not an arc. It definitely detracted from reading. So I’m no longer a Lora Leigh virgin! I’m not sure if I will pursue more from this series, but I definitely am interested in checking out her other work. Rating: C

One of my favourite "food books." I've found many of he books that challenge the way we eat disheartening, but this one was hopeful and inspiring.

I had read so much about this book, but was disappointed that it just didn't deliver as promised. I liked the first part of the book, especially the parts taking place in 1942, but once the book started focusing on Julia, I lost interest and it took me awhile to even finish. The modern day characters were not at all fleshed out by the author, and the storyline felt contrived and even like a soap opera. It would have been a much better read if the author had just focused on the events in 1942, and eliminated telling Julia's story, which played out like a Lifetime movie.

I may have read a few more into the Left Behind series than I've rated...but I've never made it through the entire series. The first time reading them I plowed through the first 4 or so but then got distracted by other books. When I wanted to try again I'd forgotten so much I wanted to re-start from the beginning...which evidently wan't the best decision because I didn't get even as far as I got the first time. I may have to just start in the middle somewhere next time and try to remember things as I go along.

I didn't get bored to the point of having to stop reading, which is rare, but it wasn't awesome. I'm curious about the movie. I usually don't think that movies do a book justice, but I have a feeling this movie is probably better than the book.

Goodreads should have an "attempting to read" shelf because if they did, this would have been on it for months. I picked-up this book in Texas over a year ago since I had heard good things and the cover was so artfully done (I'm a sucker for a cover) but I found the author so self indulgent and shallow that I tossed the book aside. It wasn't until recently when another friend was reading it and in the same spot as I was when I had last laid it down that I decided to suck it up and finish. The "Pray" part of the book was nearly intolerable and when my friend told me she began skimming some sections I felt I had permission to begin doing the same thing. The "Love" section, or Bali, was more tolerable and I have to admit, I shed a tear when Gilbert and her friend raised money for to help a poor woman and her three children. As I sit to write this review, I'm shocked to see that so many people gave it 3 stars or above. Why is such a terrible book so popular? I found most of this book to be trite and cliche and the author to not only be a poor writer but an annoying person in general. Here's my reasoning- that most people who read this book, many women, have not had the opportunity to go on their own journeys of self-discovery and reading about a woman "trapped" in a marriage and travelling to far off and romantic places is exciting. But the thing is, the author trapped herself in that marriage and subsequently ruined the life of her husband when she realised too late that she made a mistake. Her journey of self-discovery was paid for on her publishing houses dime and by the time she gets to Bali, after spending months in an ashram in India, she still acts like the whole world revolves around her and her needs. It's shocking and disappointing. Mostly because you can't believe that this book was actually published.

I very much enjoyed this book about Jane Seymour. Given to me as a gift from Jessica's parents, I admit I was first interested because I love the Showtime series The Tudors. Because of this love, I willingly read the tale of Jane Seymour. This book reads as a novel and has led me to want to research further about Jane's life. Happy reading!

This novelty of short stories was very hard to read. I personally can’t get into short stories because of all that has to be confined into maybe 15-20 pages. I like a lot of detail but when most of the detail is the story I can’t take it because I like a little filler stuff too. The first story was interseting by far, but it really was the only story that I found compelling to read all the way through. Yes, her short stories were great and told points of view from diffferent persona’s that can reach a multitude of audiences but I just really couldn’t get into, I think because I am more intersted in stories that relate to me and what is going on in my life.

Odd book... I didn't know what to make of it at first, but ended up enjoying it. For a first person narrative, it worked surprisingly well. I liked that I couldn't tell whether the main character was male or female... except when he talked about wearing ties, using urinals, and being someone's son. The level of detailed analysis of everything, from shoelace breakage causes to social interactions to proper escalator etiquette was unlike anything else I've read. I'm glad I read it.
