Nora Roberts Collection

So as many people know that my book collection is over six thousand books now. If I actually took the time to count them right now, it may very well be over that by now. 

However, even my husband knows that there is one author that I prize above all others. Her name is Nora Roberts. 

That is not to say that the other authors I read aren't great or one of my favorites, just that Nora Roberts will always come first in my book. 

One of the main reasons is because she is the author that got me back into reading in the first place. The very first book I read was Rapture in Death, technically under her pen name J.D Robb. In my 8th grade English class, we were told to partner up and do a type of book report. It was a great assignment because we could pick any book that we wanted. 

My partner was a friend of mine that I had been close to since elementary school and I let her pick the book. She was reading the In Death series by J.D Robb and was on Rapture in Death when the report came around. I said what the hell. At the time I wasn't reading at all so it didn't make any difference to me. 

Let me tell you, that book got me right back into reading. After I read Rapture in Death, I had to go back to the beginning. It was a series that I kept up with and still do to this day. When I discovered that J.D Robb was a pen name for Nora Roberts I just had to see what she was like and I was not disappointed. 

Nora Roberts got me back into reading and I absolutely love her. I hope that when we go to Boonsboro, I can meet her. I'll be star struck. It'll be a dream come true. Which is why I doubt it lol. 

I have collected almost every cover of each book. I have the large prints and mass market paperbacks. I'm even starting to collect the hard back versions as well as audio. I have all of the DVD's that were made and will soon be ordering the VHS of the one I don't have. 

I have worked and my husband has worked very hard to make this into a collection and I love him for helping me even though he doesn't read at all. 

If you haven't read her books you really should. 

Nora Roberts goes by J.D Robb, Sarah Hardesty and Jill March.

HAPPY READING!!!!!

Escape Part One by Sydney Holmes

This was the first book that I read this year. Surprisingly, I found this book as an ad on my Facebook page. A lot of authors are now using Facebook to promote their work and it really does work. They put up the cover of their book or maybe a picture with the main characters and a small blurb or excerpt from the book. It definitely is enough to hook you in. 

Escape Part One is obviously the first part in a three part story of a woman who escaped a cult. This first part is all about being out and staying out. 

Rowan Baker just escaped from a lunatic, from a crazy cult. The last thing she wants is to get involved with anyone when she's so busy trying to stay under the cult's radar AND trying to make an actual life for herself. She's strong and independent, but most important, she's a survivor. 

Shane Adams is used to a certain way of life. He and his best friends are P.I's and they're damn good at what they do. He enjoys puzzles and Rowan is a puzzle he just has to solve. It helps that she's beautiful and he can't stop thinking of her. 

The secrets that Rowan keeps could very well push Shane away but what could possibly be wrong with having an affair...just for a little while. Two consensual adults with burning passion between them, sure what could go wrong with that. 

Emotions. That's what goes wrong with that. Shane starts to fall for Rowan and he doesn't even have all the pieces yet. Rowan knows she's falling for Shane too but to keep him safe (so she believes) her secrets need to remain hers and maybe it's time to run again. 

Part one sets the stage for these two heroes. Will they succeed in building their life or will it all come crashing down around them? 

Take a chance with a new book, you won't regret it!!

Happy Reading Everyone!! 

Late Start, Kickstart to the Year

So it's a bit late in the year but here I am ready to kick it off right here, right now lol.

We're kicking it off with the GoodReads book challenge. A yearly challenge that GoodReads posts where you set a goal of how many books you want to read within the year.

This year I set the same goal that I did last year, 100 books. Last year I didn't reach that goal, no excuses, I just didn't do it. This year I seem to keep running one book behind. If I'm going to keep being behind then I'm going to do it because I'm writing about the books I love.

I know that everyone that reads this isn't a member of GoodReads so I'm wondering out there. Does anyone have a book goal or if you are a member of GoodReads did you set a goal up with them?

Goal or not though the important thing is to have fun and enjoy what you're reading. Without that joy the goal is meaningless.

WOW! It's Been Forever!!!

So I took a look at what I've posted before and I haven't posted here since July. Now a lot of people would be asking why would I give up something that I love to do. This was the one thing that I was passionate about once Bubblews went down. It was a great paying site where I could write what I wanted and usually it was about books. Once it went down I lost that outlet. So I started my own blog.

Once I started this however, I was seeing that no one was really reading what I was writing. Well, some people were reading but there were no comments and no interactions. Without interactions, there was no point in writing.

Now that I have a few more friends, I've been thinking about giving this another try. I love talking about books and maybe giving people a new way to think about the plot of a book. There's also a chance that the way I look at a book may help you to even find the plot in general.

This is my chance to talk about a book in its entirety, or chapter by chapter. To do the latter however involves more spoilers. When I do a chapter, I will attempt to relay feelings more instead of events in a book. I know that many don't read the same books at the same time or have even read them at all so I'll attempt to consider everyone.

Starting tomorrow I'll be off and running. I'm hoping that this works out better.

Happy trails my friends and I do hope you enjoy.

Book Goals for 2016

As a member of good reads there's a place where you can make reading goals for the year. 

Last year I had a goal of 100 books which I exceeded. This year I've chosen to try for 120 books. 

As of right now I'm on book nine so I guess I have some writing to catch up on. 

Maybe I'll see some of you there if you're interested in joining 😊

Trying to get back

It's been a long long time since I've been on here and that's wrong in my behalf. 

Even though all of about one person may read what I write I do enjoy writing. I especially enjoy writing about books. 

With that being said, I'm trying to get back into the habit of writing on here again. 

Wish me luck. 

Hardpressed by Meredith Wild The Hacker Series Book 2

Hardpressed is the second book in Meredith Wild's Hacker Series.

If you got addicted to book one this one will capture you even more. I thought that I had posted the synopsis already but as I can see I haven't yet. Bad me, I'm falling behind again.

I hope that everyone enjoys this because, as I read farther into this series I became more addicted to it. Hopefully I at least give you something to look into.

Without further ado, here's the synopsis:

"In Hardpressed, the highly anticipated second book of the Hacker series that began with Hardwired, Blake and Erica face threats that put both their love and their lives on the line.

Despite Blake Landon's controlling ways, the young and wealthy hacker finally won the trust of the woman he loves. Internet entrepreneur Erica Hathaway broke down the walls that kept her from opening her heart and her business to Blake.

Ready to start this new chapter in her life, Erica is determined not to let anything come between them, even if that means giving Blake back some of the control he craves in and out of the bedroom.

But when demons from the past threaten their future, Erica makes a decision that could change their lives forever."

It's a good synopsis this time lol. I can agree with it completely.

Curious yet?

Hardwired- Meredith Wild After Reading

Erica Hathaway just graduated college and has a start up fashion website with her best friend Alli and another friend Sid. Her professor got her a board meeting with a friend of his, Max at Angelcom to try to get an investment so Erica could get the website off the ground.

What she didn't expect however, was to meet the mysterious and handsome Blake Landon. For Blake one night of passion led to him being captivated by Erica and he just had to see more of her.

In the boardroom he turned down her pitch which devastated her but Max picked her up. It was a decent day all together.

Neither of them expected things to get hot and heavy between them so fast. Erica had no choice but to tell Blake about her past. As a freshman in College, her and a few friends went to a frat party, it was there she was raped and just left in the bushes.

When she told him, the tears and the upset were there but so was the self-loathing. Erica actually couldn't believe that Blake still wanted her.

Blake himself has many issues and one of his quirks is control. Blake has to be dominant in the bedroom and for Erica he's learning to let go of some of his control in public.

It's something that they both have to get used to, especially when Blake says that he loves her. When he loves, he must protect and to go about that without controlling or stalking isn't something he knows how to do yet.

It's interesting to watch these two damaged people get to know and fall in love with each other. It's true that Blake used to be a hacker, part of a group called M89. He's made some enemies and Erica is messed up.

However, Erica is big on control for other reasons. She wants to control her own life mainly because she's fought to get that control back. Now Blake wants to take that away from her again in a different way. For Erica, this is still one of the most scariest things she's ever contemplated on doing.

They have to learn to trust each other or what they have will go down in flames.

Feel free to share any thoughts or comments you have on the book. I look forward to reading them :)

Good Morning

Today I'll be a bit busy because I have to fight with the dealership about a cost I shouldn't have had to put out. Even if I wasn't going to busy though, I think that a good morning is a great way to start the day.

How's that for a book list lol.

The Crossfire Series by Sylvia Day

Ok so with there being so many books in this series I decided to do this all in one post. I should go back and do synopsis-es and I probably will even though that means back tracking just because that way people can draw they're own conclusions about the book without my point of view persuading them at all.

Four books span the new relationship between Gideon Cross and Eva Tramell. Four books span over only a few short months.

From the time they met in Bared to You to the public break up but not break up between them in Reflected in You to their cinematic worthy reunion and marriage in Entwined with You to finally they're private separation in Captivated by You.

The whole series has been a roller coaster of ups and downs for them both as well as Eva's best friend Carey. Everyone in this story is in some way fucked up in the head. Things were done in their past to doubt themselves and any future they deserve.

The books are most definitely classified as erotic romance so if you can't handle heart pounding, rough sex don't pick up the book.

In my opinion I think that the plot is great. It doesn't matter that Gideon is rich because so is Eva in a way. Gideon was lost in his own way and Eva found him and brought him out into the light. It's hard for him to come to terms with what was done to him as a child and Eva is having a hard time waiting for that part of him to find peace.

That might sound but she's a survivor as well. Eva herself was raped as a child and had even suffered a miscarriage by her attacker. It's not the fact that Gideon won't talk to her about anything but he won't talk to anyone. It's a strain on their already strenuous relationship.

That's the big thing in Bared to You. Just to admit that something happened because she's shown him her demons.

In Reflected in You things seem to be going great that is there's progress being made in their relationship lol. But then enter in ex-lover from her past Brent and attacker Nathan. So many secrets are being kept and it's killing Eva. Gideon withdraws from her almost completely without actually saying that they've broken up. Eva assumes that. The only thing Gideon says to her when he does get the chance is wait for him.

Complete mystery as to why. Eva goes completely mental though and here's why. When she can finally get out of her Gideon induced coma, she has a spa day. Cuts her hair and changes her nails from neutral to red. Determined still to understand Gideon's past, Eva confronts his old pediatrician, his mother and I'm pretty sure there was one other person....oh yeah Corrine the ex-girlfriend that still swears that she'll end up with Gideon not Eva.

Yeah Eva becomes hell on heels. Turns out that Nathan is also dead, so the cops come poking around. We get the picture however towards the end. Sylvia Day doesn't leave us in a complete mystery thankfully.

Entwined with You, slowly brings Eva and Gideon back together. It's such a welcoming sight that it could break your heart. Brent is still a problem because he wants another chance with Eva. In his world if Gideon deserves a second chance than so does he. Needless to say that will never happen, Eva is too much in love with Gideon.

Gideon whisks her away for a small vacation with just the two of them. It's a beautiful beach house but once again Gideon seems to withdraw from her with no reason. Eva being Eva decides after a very awkward dinner to throw herself in to the ocean and just let go. Gideon being Gideon drags her out and not in the most romantic way asks her to marry him.

They'll do another ceremony later but he wants something small, private and immediate. It was actually the happiest day of their life at that time. No one knows and how Eva is going to keep this secret from Carey, she doesn't know.

Which now brings us to her latest installment, Captivated by You. Nothing has seriously changed. Gideon is still trying to get used to giving Eva freedom yet at the same time trying to keep her safe. They start compromising somewhat well yet he hasn't let go of the fact that he wants Eva working for him.

It's something that Eva was working around to agreeing to but Gideon screwed it up by asking her current boss to go work for him. Gideon gave him a secure position and a raise to make the move not only because he's good at what he does but because he wants Eva to make the move with him.

This drives Eva away. She stays with her mom and step-father with Carey while trying to get her head on straight. This drives Gideon to talk to their therapist about his dreams and his past. A ray of hope also shines through when he calls Eva and they start talking. He admits that he was wrong, tells her about his session and then they just talk.

It was what they were missing, not the sexual life or at least not just that, but just being with each other and how easy it is. They can act normal when they want to lol.

They are still in love and are still saying they're engaged but it's just taking a little time to get back to where they were when things made sense. They're also learning how to face problems together and Gideon is trying to stop going behind Eva's back to do things.

I guess we have to wait until the next book though to see the big wedding and how far they come together.

Personally I can't wait lol.

Bound by Flames by Jeaniene Frost

So we temporarily conclude the Night Prince series by Jeaniene Frost with Bound by Flames. It moves much quicker than I thought it would and we got redundant.

Now that Leila is a vampire, Vlad is treating her like an equal in certain ways. However when it comes to protecting her it's a job that he doesn't take lightly.

While Vlad goes out in search of his old enemy, he wants Leila to stay home and safe with his men. Sounds good right. The beginning of the book is starting off great because Leila will be safe seeing as she agrees to stay home.

That was all part of his enemies plan. Though Leila being home wasn't nothing but luck for him. She gets kidnapped....again.

See the redundancy yet?

Trying to get one step ahead of his enemy, Vlad had gone to see his old friend Maximus, who he had banished to try to get him to agree to be his spy. With knowledge of his banishment no one would suspect that Vlad would employ Maximus again and there would more than likely be a grudge.

It is actually lucky for Leila that Maximus had agreed to this plan because once she is kidnapped, it's Maximus that actually makes it just slightly easier on her compared to the horrors that could have been.

Leila endured her skin being flayed off of her and mock rape. It was horrible for her in more than one way. With her powers, she lives with essences, when her skin was flayed, he took off her sister's and father's and most importantly her mother's essence leaving her feeling like a stranger in her new skin.

It takes her time to get some kind of strength back, and even for a time she can only just see Vlad. She can see how mad he is and mad isn't even the word he was beyond livid. Vlad actually burned the rest of his house down he was so mad. Finally she gets to him and was able to tell him where she was.

The rescue was weird because Vlad's friend Cat summoned the dead to help get her out and Vlad had to wear a disguise to get to her. Obviously this isn't the whole story though, if you think about it, you probably could make that one whole story.

Anyway, I didn't write it and Jeaniene obviously didn't want that to be the whole story.

It's weird for Leila to be around everyone again and touching is weird but good. It's really hard for Leila to be touched by Vlad because when Maximus had snuck in blood for her she felt like she was cheating on Vlad. It's not something that sat well with her.

When she finally told him, he didn't hold anything against her. It's a natural reaction for a vampire that has been deprived of blood to act wild when they finally get it. It wasn't a big deal.

The whole situation had take some getting used to, especially when Leila falls asleep and tries to kill Vlad and herself. Turns out that Vlad's enemy got smart and had a necromancer put a spell on her. One that not even Vlad's old mentor, Mecheres, can break. The solution....burn Leila while she sleeps to weaken the spell.

Thanks to Mencheres though, with magic he grows her hair back...all of it. The kind on her head and eyebrows. It's a long journey to get to the bottom of everything and then add in the battle of fighting Vlad's anger as well.  

But wait, there's more!!!!

Leila is connected the necromancer. Anything that happens to one happens to the other.

Uh-oh!! What happens now?

Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost--Sorry

There are a few reasons I haven't been on here lately and really they're just excuses. In actuality I should be on here more. See this is why I don't have an actual website of my own.

Anyway, I'm getting used to my husband's laptop right now, so I'm slower than usual typing. The plan though is to totally catch up today. A tall order when I'm so far behind.

Today we're starting with Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost, the second book in the Night Prince Series. I can say series because there will be a fourth book coming out, I believe next year.

In book two of the Night Prince series, Leila tries to show Vlad just how much she loves him. However, Vlad refuses to face that fact and it leads to Leila moving out. 

Maximus is charged with getting her back to her best friend, Marty, safely. It seems fine and Leila wants to get back to  normal, to try and heal here broken heart. It's just not as easy as it sounds. 

Marty found someone to  replace her in their circus act and the trailer is actually too small for three people to live in. While trying to sell some of the jewels Vlad had made her leave with, Marty's trailer explodes. Thankfully, Leila was still covered in Vlad's aura so the fire that had melted everything around her, just passed over her. 

Maximus, who should have left after dropping Leila off, teams up with her to find out who killed Marty and the new kid in the trailer. Not wanting to believe it, Leila has to accept Maximus' idea that it could be Vlad behind the attack. 

It doesn't take too long before Leila is kidnapped....again. It seems that it's becoming a new fad to kidnap her and quite frankly Leila is getting tired of it. 

During her captivity though, she discovers it's not Vlad behind the attacks and she's more powerful than she realized at first. Her emotions power her electricity and it helps when she slays every vampire on the ship where she's being transported to God only knows where to an unknown buyer.  

The last thing that she wanted to do was go back to living with Vlad yet he gives her no choice. When he comes to  get her and save Maximus and other humans on the boat that was his ultimatum to her.

Being back with Vlad hurts them both more than Leila had realized. Yet when she says she loves him again Vlad insists that she only knows the man in fantasies not him.

You know staying safe with Vlad is one thing, especially now that her powers are slowly killing her. When she over uses her psychic powers, Leila dies unless she gets vampire blood immediately.

That doesn't stop her though from going down to the weapons room and running her hand across all the weapons, learning about Vlad's past through his his eyes. Thus proving she loves him and not some made up version of him.

Once Leila gets Vlad to admit that he loves her the wedding happens immediately. Yes, I know that we've set aside the actual plot of finding out who kidnapped Leila, for romance but after all it is a paranormal romance.

This also solidifies that Leila is Vlad's greatest weakness. The love that they have is so strong and he is so old fashioned, he MUST protect her. Not to mention is something happened to her, the world would burn. Those were his words somewhere in the book lol.

It takes some effort but Leila does figure out who is behind everything. A witch that Vlad used to bed, Cynthiana. Though she's not in it alone.

However the downfall is, Leila does die. In using her powers too much, this time saving her sister and human friend Sandra from one of Vlad's people turned traitor. Having ingested so much of Vlad's blood though, started the transformation.

Vlad got there just in time to be able to finish turning Leila into a vampire. She had made the choice to turn but her ability of choosing when and easing her family into it was taken from her.

It takes time for her to get herself right again. The bloodlust in the beginning really does make you crazy. Her father stops talking to her because he doesn't approve of her choices yet it's her sister, Gretchen that surprises her.

Gretchen not only approves but since she was there and watched her sister die, she's so elated that Vlad was able to bring her back to her. It actually brought the two closer than they had been in a while.

Together, Leila and Vlad will find who is behind these attacks and together they will bring them down.

As it turns out though, it's just one. An enemy that Vlad thought he had destroyed ages ago. Vlad knows who he is now and it's time to set things right and make sure he's dead....for good this time.

Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost

My seventh book of the year was Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost. Now I saw that many know of this series and the author but I still like putting up the synopsis on the back of the book for those who don't know about it.

I personally love the series and find it addicting but then again I can bury myself in almost any world that's not my own.

Please enjoy this synopsis and I'll try to be back this afternoon for my own little overview. I'll even try not to give out any spoilers.

"Dating the Prince of Darkness has its challenges...

Leila's psychic abilities have been failing her, and now she isn't sure what the future holds/ If that weren't enough, her lover Vlad has been acting distant. Though Leila is a mere mortal, she's also a modern woman who refuses to accept the cold shoulder treatment forever--especially from the darkly handsome vampire who still won't admit that he loves her...

Like choosing between eternal love and a loveless eternity....

Soon circumstances send Leila back to the carnival circuit, where tragedy strikes. And when she finds herself in the crosshairs of a killer who may be closer than she realizes, Leila must decide who to trust--the fiery vampire who arouses her passions like no other or the tortured knight who longs to be more than a friend? With danger stalking her every step of the way, all it takes is one wrong move to damn her for eternity..."

I hope this interests some of you that look for new authors to read.

Falling Behind Again by Three Books

Yes, I know that I made a promise and I'm falling horribly behind on it. See my computer crashed and I had to get it fixed. In the day and a half that I didn't have my computer I went through three books.

Totally involved in the Night Prince Series, I finished them in record time for me. I also started writing again so I put some energy into that as well.

Needless to say I have some catching up to do.

This is the first book in the Night Prince Series by Jeaniene Frost. I posted the synopsis from the back of the book, I believe last Thursday or so. I re-shared it though so feel free to look at it. 

Since I'm done with the book however, this is not a synopsis. 

Leila just wants to live out the rest of her life as normal as possible. It's not that easy to begin with since when she was 13 she touched a live wire behind her house. Now she can electrocute people with the slightest touch and glean psychic impressions with her right hand. With one touch of her right hand she can tell you your darkest sin as well as find your past, find you in the present and sometimes your future. 

She had made herself a decent life working with her vampire friend Marty in a carnival. Then one accident changed all of that. 

While she was out looking for Marty one day, Leila accidentally caught a guy that was going to murder his wife because she had wanted a divorce. That one touch of her hand gave her a status she would live to be thankful for....but the thankful feeling comes later. Much later. 

First she has to get through being kidnapped by, I think, four crazy vampires that kidnap her to try and find the vampire that killed their friend. Weird right, revenge? Anyway, that wasn't the real gold mine. 

The whole point of them finding her and her finding this vamp was for another vampire. Yes, there was one behind the creepy four puling their strings. 

And the vampire Leila had to find....none other than Vlad Tepesh, THE Vlad Tepesh, the vampire behind the Dracula stories but to save your own life, never call him Dracula. 

There's something that burns bright between those two and Leila refuses to accept it at first. She's lived a very jaded life because of her accident and she is not enthused with Vlad's demeanor. 

He's brutal and violent.....and she can't deny that she wants him like she's never wanted anyone before. 

This whole book lays the ground work for a relationship between Leila and Vlad plus it flushes out that Vlad's enemy is one that he's had for centuries. It just took him a while to gather the strength to fight against Vlad. 

This book is a must read in my opinion. I dare not say too much more for I wouldn't want to give anything away.

Enjoy :)

Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost

After I got done the last Inside Out book I decided that I needed a slight change. Plus, the new book for the Night Prince is out now and I wanted to re-read all the books so I could read the third one when I got it in. 

It's a very good duology but the second one cliff-hanged a bit so I was really happy to hear that there was going to be a third one before the series ended. 

Before I get too ahead of myself here, lol, if you like paranormal romance then you'll like these books. 

Here's the synopsis:

"She's a mortal cursed with a dark power...

After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: a terrifying ability to channel electricity and to see a person's darkest secrets through a single touch. Leila is doomed to a life of solitude...until creatures of the night kidnap her, forcing her to reach out with a telepathic distress call to the world's most infamous vampire...

He's the Prince of the Night...

Vlad TEpesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all--but whatever you do, don't call him Dracula. Vlad's ability to control fire makes him one of the most feared vampires in existence, but his enemies have found a new weapon against him--a beautiful mortal with powers to match his own. When Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites, threatening to consume them. It will take everything they have to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames."

I'm about half-way through this one and I look forward to posting again. Please enjoy :)

Book Five of the Year Finished

So No In Between was my fifth book of the year and I finished it as of today. The end of this does contain a bit of a spoiler by the way.

To me it wasn't as long as the others when in actuality it was about the same length and the previous three books. This time however, we get a happy ending.

Like most though, it's not just about the ending. It's about the journey as well.

In this book, Sara must find her strength and fight back, against everything. Mark is shut down and he's kicking at everyone. Chris is trying to fight his demons and stand beside Sara no matter what.

Everyone has a stake in this murder trial against Ava but first they have to get through the bail hearing, and Ava's lawyers are pulling out all the stops to make sure that she can get out.

What seems impossible has become possible. There's no body to prove murder, just four witnesses to bring up attempted murder charges.

Panic attacks start coming at Sara again and there's only one person that can help her take them on. Chris Merritt has made good on his promise to never leave Sara again. He says and I just have to quote this "I left you once and it's a mistake I won't be repeating."

So sweet it just makes your heart go pitter patter lol.

With all the bad in this book there is one clear thing. Chris and Sara are amazing for each other. Thier love can seriously conquer all.

The question though that this book truly leaves in your mind, is will Mark be ok? He was the guy that we loved to hate throughout this series and now he's hurt beyond words.

The sweetest part though and I have to share this so I should probably put up a spoiler alert.

Anyway, about the middle of the book you finally see the ring that Chris is designing for Sara. It's absolutely gorgeous with intertwining roses and the gems in the ring are being kept secret for now.

If you have read the books though and are like me, you were expecting a dragon of some time. Not that the rose ring is a disappointment because it's not but not expected.

At the end Chris finally does what we expected. Chris had designed a dragon ring for her left finger the same side that his dragon tattoo is on. The ring symbolizes not his love for her, no that was the roses. No this ring means so much more, it's the strength that he finds in her. Sara is literally his rock and strength.

Together they finally beat the whip that was hanging over their heads. When Amber died, (she killed herself) Sara was terrified that Chris would walk out the door and head for the whip instead of her. Instead he went into his art studio and worked. When he got all of his emotions out on paper he got lost in Sara.

The whip was never even a temptation to him. Chris just needed her.

This book had me so torn up when I read it. An emotional roller coaster if you wish to call it that. It's definitely something that I'm recommending to all my friends.

No In Between- Lisa Renee Jones

I started this one about two days ago actually. See I really need to do a better job keeping up with this.

No in Between is the fourth book in Lisa Renee Jones' Inside Out Series. Originally it was a trilogy but I'm finding out that when an author says that there's going to be another couple books after the last one because there is always more to be said.

This series was no different. She could have ended the series after Revealing Us but there's still Ella missing and what's going on with Mark Compton.

In book four, Sara and Chris are back in San Fransisco to "aid" the police investigation of Rebecca's murder. The police there are running all kinds of theories that may or may not be probable.

They had called Sara in Paris to say that Ava was accusing Sara of murdering Rebecca and blackmailed Mark so Ava had confessed to protect her "Master."

Now the cops are switching gears, they are asking questions to see if maybe Sara murdered Rebecca to endure her dream job would stay hers. They are also going down the avenue that maybe Mark had something to do with this mystery and maybe even Chris.

Things have just become a hot mess for everyone involved now. Sara's even going back to work for Allure (Mark's art gallery) for a few weeks while things are getting settled. Mark's mom is battling stage 3 breast cancer and ended up with a blood infection just before he came back to talk to the police.

I can't imagine what Mark is going through right now. All that pain he has just got to be feeling over everything. It honestly makes your heart hurt.

Before I say anything else here's the synopsis from the back of the book so you can draw your own conclusions:

"Was Rebecca murdered--or has she simply vanished? Sara's obsession with Rebecca's fate has already lead her into danger once. Now the woman who nearly killed her is making accusations that implicate Sara in Rebecca's disappearance. Forced to defend herself to police investigators, Sara must expose dark private pleasures that she and her fiance, Chris, share. And while Chris remains strong and supportive, the formerly invincible Mark is crumbling. He's been too intimate a part of their lives to let that happen...but will he accept help?

Although Sara and Chris love each other deeply, the pressure is triggering past pains. To make it through this, they must face and reveal their final fears: Everything must be exposed, and their hearts and bodies will be pushed to the limits. There can be no shame. No more secrets. No in between..."

Yeah, it definitely leaves you wanting more lol.
