Mysterious by Nora Roberts Part 3 Final Post

The third and final book in Mysterious is The Right Path.

I really like this one because it is like one of the fantasies you have of romance when you're young. Morgan is finally convinced by her best friend Liz to come take a vacation and visit her in Greece.

It was there though that she had also been frightened out of her wits. Morgan went for a midnight swim and found herself assaulted by a handsome stranger. It was that assailment that changed the reason why she was there.

Morgan had a mystery to solve and she was going to solve it. Love did not enter into the equation for her yet it happened.

Nicholas Gregoras is half Greek and around Morgan that's the only side that seems to show itself. WOrking for a secret organization, Nick must keep Morgan at a safe distance. His organization wants to use her but all he can think about is keeping her safe.

Everything is horrible. The timing mainly. Nick is trying to bust a smuggling ring and can't afford to not be able to take risks. Yet Morgan keeps getting in the way.

In the end it's together that they end the ring and together they will start their life together in Greece. It's truly a pirate story for adults.

THe story that we all make up in our minds when we're young. That we'll have an adventure and meet some dark handsome stranger that somehow saves us and then we go on adventures together till the end of time.

lol very fanciful I have to admit.

Mysterious by Nora Roberts Part 2

The second story in this novel is Search for Love.

I will even admit that this one isn't one of my favorites that Nora Roberts has done. I'll read it and like it but not one of my favs.

This time we follow Serenity Smith to Brittany to meet her long lost maternal grandmother. It's only been a short time since her parents had died in a plane crash and now her grandmother has practically summoned her across the ocean to visit.

For Serenity this was her last connection to her mom and she wasn't going to miss out on this opportunity. She had to wonder though, why her parents never spoke about her grandmother...ever.

Soon she would see why. However, first she will meet her kissing cousin, Christophe de Kergallen, who dislikes her on the spot....or at least that's how he makes it seem.

For as much as they fight throughout the story you would think that they hate each other with a passion. Serenity takes great pains to conceal that she's fallen in love with this cold aristocrat.

Even Christophe felt Serenity bewitched him the moment she stepped off the train. But what her Grandmother the Comtesse Francoise de Kergallen has told him of Serenity's father makes what he feels for her wrong.

See, before Serenity was even born the Comtesse had a Raphael that she wanted cleaned  and entrusted her father to do so. She had thought nothing of him being there, seeing as her daughter was already engaged to another man. So the day that she fainted in the garden and told the Comtesse that she was pregnant, it was a great shock.

They decided to go to America after the Comtesse disowned her only daughter. She also labeled him then as a thief.

For she believed that he took her Raphael. It was foolish pride that denied her, her daughter and her granddaughter.

It's up to Serenity to clear her father's name and discover what's beneath that cold pride of her grandmother's. For Serenity is hoping beyond hope that she has just one more family member left in the world.

As for Christophe, he's hoping to win the heart of a feisty American woman and make her his forever.

Seeing how there's french in here you can imagine how I've butchered some of these words in my head lol. It's nice read though, and I'd recommend it.

Mysterious 3 books in 1 by Nora Roberts Part 1

While waiting for the fourth book of the Inside Out series to come in, I started a book by my favorite romance author, Nora Roberts. This one, Mysterious, is a compilation of three books in one. For that reason I will post about this book in three parts. Just to make things easier.

The first one is This Magic Moment, staring main characters of Ryan Swan and Peirce Atkins. Ryan Swan is the daughter of Bennett Swan, the owner (I assume) of Swan Productions and she has fought tooth and nail for where she is in the company.

Bennett Swan had wanted a son and he had done nothing to show otherwise after Ryan's mother had died. In his eyes he gave her the best but in hers, Bennett had just shipped her off for someone else to handle. Ryan works as hard as she does one because she loves her job but also because she hopes that one day he will turn to her and say he's just proud to be her father.

I think all children want that from their parents though. When it doesn't happen that little ray of hope stays and never dies out. We just stop thinking about it and move on with our life.

Pierce Atkins had a hard start to life in general. His father was a drunk that after he had a few drinks liked to beat on his mother. Most of the time he would end up in the closet for most of the beatings but every so often his father would hit him as well. The state took him away from his parents and placed him in an orphanage. Pierce however was unadoptable because though the state took him away, his parents wouldn't sign their rights away.

He had become a magician during his stay in a hospital when he was young. Pierce's story was that he fell down some stairs and they were diagnosing him as paralyzed. Of course he wouldn't accept that so he busted ass every day to make sure he would walk again. When he did, magic was his career choice and he became the best. Famous for escapes, his reasoning will come as perfect to most people.

When he was younger, he was locked in and couldn't get out. Now he can and he keeps coming up with new escapes to prove to himself that he really can escape anything now.

Two people with two very different things to prove, come together in this novel to prove that love can overcome anything....even a dark past.

However their hurdle comes when Ryan learns of the new escape that Pierce plans to do for the special. Priding herself on being a strong woman, when she hears his plans it brings her to her knees. It's too dangerous and it scares her near to death.

The question the whole story comes down to is can she love him as he is?

If we love someone, what right do we really have to ask them to change? Especially if what we want them to change is their way of life?

Revealing Us-Lisa Renee Jones The Complete Overview

Seeing as I complete this book in record time lol this is a whole overview instead of pieces.

Sara has decided to drop everything and go to Paris with Chris. He's so much a part of her that she has to try and make this relationship work. If going to Paris is what it takes for Chris to open up about his past and inner demons, then going to Paris is exactly what she'll do.

This whole book focus on Sara's best friend, Ella's, disappearance and the unveiling of Chris's secrets. The whole trip keeps getting turned upside down for them because Sara is going through emotional hell right now.

Not even a day after they had arrived in Paris, Sara gets a call from the detective back in San Francisco that Ava is trying to pin Rebecca's murder on her and blacked-mailed Mark into getting her position at the gallery. We all know that's not true but Ava's lawyer had to find a defense for the psycho somewhere I guess.

On top of that accusation, no one can seem to get a bead on Ella and it's driving Sara crazy with worry. Lets add one more thing, Sara keeps running into Chris' past everywhere she goes yet he won't open up to her yet.

That's enough to drive any reasonable person insane. If he wanted to test Sara's love for him, taking her to Paris was the way to do it. However, Chris does spill his secret and it has to do with his parents death, and the death of his friend Amber's parents.

See, he was visiting his parents' graves with Amber and her parents when they had walked out there was a 16-yr-old with a gun in his hand. Chris had looked into this boys eyes and seen what he needed to see. If Chris hadn't pulled the trigger and killed him first, he would have killed them all without a second thought.

His regret. Chris' demon that still haunts him, is the fact that he couldn't pull the trigger before the boy killed both of Amber's parents. After that she followed Chris down the wrong path. Using pain to get rid of pain.

A few days later, is the anniversary of his parents death. He laid out his coat and opened a bottle of wine for them. They just sat there and took sips. Wine isn't Chris' thing because that's how his father basically killed himself. Drowning his sorrows in wine.

Instead of letting Chris even think about the whip and trying to get rid of pain with pain, Sara takes him in the house and becomes the dominant for all of two minutes before he snapped out of his wallowing mood. When Sara had woken up she found a map on her pillow to where he was.

Now usually I would tell you the end because it's such a cliff hanger but this time, if you want to know the end you'll have to read it yourself. It was the most sweetest end that I could have imagined. If you don't read it then you'll find out when I finally get the other book lol.

I will say that there is a small epilogue. Ella is alive and in some serious trouble.

Stay tuned lol. You wouldn't want to miss the fun.

Revealing Us- Lisa Renee Jones

I am so ahead of myself right now it's not even funny. This is how addicted to the series I am. When I finished the second book in this series, Being Me, I started the next one right away. I barely even got the post up about the second book before I started it.

However I was so caught up in the book, I finished it in two days. That's me TRYING to stretch the book out because I won't get the next one until tomorrow. Now I finished it on Saturday and I won't get the next book I was missing until tomorrow, Tuesday. That's a long wait for me lol.

Even though I am ahead of myself though I will stick to the way that I've been posting lol. I'll post up the synopsis so you can draw your own conclusions then I'll post everything else lol.

"He has become her life, her heart, her very soul. But he is dark and damaged, and his secrets are many. Sara will risk everything for him. He, in turn, will dare to expose his deepest needs, his most erotic desires. And in the fury of passion he will reveal all that torments him, all that he can never escape. To love him, Sara must embrace the darkest part of him, and become his shelter in a storm that will be his ultimate salvation."

Really it's not as bad as it seems in the synopsis, I can promise you that. Enjoy :)

I'm Back Everyone :)

I know that I was a horrible blogger last year. I couldn't keep up with what I was doing and be on here. This year I am hoping to change all that.

With it being the new year and everything I am hoping that I can get on here a lot more and maybe get a few more followers.

The whole point of creating this blog was to interact with people about the books that I have been reading as I read them.

See, I read a lot usually and the books that I read my best friend isn't reading. She's behind on my reading list because now she has a job....I don't.

I miss being able to talk to someone about what I'm reading. My husband doesn't read but he listens to me ramble and my parents just don't care.

I'm desperate lol. I REALLY need people to talk to about books lol. Please hit me up on here.
