Ghost Hunter – Jayne Castle

Elly St. Clair is the daughter of a guild (mob) family and has been engaged to the Guild boss, Cooper Boone. As typically done in romance, Elly wants more than a business arrangement match and calls off the engagement when Cooper is clueless and in attentive to her.

I liked this story because Cooper is truly a clueless male. As I am married to one it is interesting to see that my hubby is not the only one to say something stupid and really not understand the significance of what he said. Sometimes men are just so dumb. So anyway, Elly moves away and starts her own business in another town. Cooper gives her six months to “calm down” and plans to show up and have her fall into his arms (stupid male).

This book is an old favorite that is part of my keeper shelf. I don’t remember how long ago I read it, but every once in a while I pull it down and breeze through it.

When I picked this book up, I was not really sure if the topic of a “french maid” would be interesting, but the title is really not the sum of this wickedly funny story.

Emma is a struggling architecture student who cleans houses as a side job. A french maid she is not….. Emma was hired by Russell Carrick’s sister to clean his house. Russell does not a want maid service, but is giving in to his sisters need to nurture him. Russell is a overworked, overachiever who is too busy to for a social life.

Many months ago I started reading this book while waiting for my DH to have some minor outpatient surgery. At the time I didn’t think I was very impressed with the book so I put it aside and forgot about it.. The other day I was cleaning up the piles of to be read books in my bedroom and I ran across it. What struck my immediately was that I remembered exactly what the story was about. I don’t know about you, but I often forget the details of a book after I read it. You know when you look at a book and wonder if it was the Pirate or the Outlaw and did I like this story? Realizing that is rare for me to remember so many details about a book, I also realized that I must give it another chance and finish it. I am glad I did and I guess I was just not in a reading frame of mind when I started it.

One small tip for a Happy Marriage

  • Posted on May 2, 2007 at 12:50 pm

I have been married for 22, almost 23 years. I would like to pass along a tip that has helped keep us together.

I learned a very long time ago that as much as my husband loves me and SHOULD know me enough to be able pick out great gifts for me, he simply cannot. He is totally freaking clueless as to what makes a thoughtful and appropriate birthday and holiday gift for me — the mother of his children, his lifetime helpmate who is always at his side.

Pet Peeve – Nothing Like Morning Breath

  • Posted on April 1, 2007 at 2:30 pm

One of my biggest pet peeves is when a romance characters sleep together then immediately wake up and make morning nookie. It is not the morning nookie that I object to, it is the morning breath I just know they have. EEEWWWW….

So the Donald on Apprentice is challenging his group to market a new mouthwash that eliminates morning breath. From now on I will pretend that the characters have used Smartmouth before going to bed the night before.

Wonder if it works, cause I hate that skanky morning breath.

I want to start out by saying that I have every Kenyon on my keeper shelf and am always rushing out to get the next one. That said, I am going to place this copy of The Dream-Hunter on my shelf next to my Kenyon collection out of a collectors stubornness; but very sadly, I don’t think I can finish it. I have forced myself to read up to chapter 9 and I just cannot get into it. Normally receiving a new Kenyon was a sure sign that I was going to be pulling an all nighter, but when I first got this book a while ago, I had trouble reading it from the get go.

Lover Revealed – J.R. Ward

Lover Revealed - J.R. Ward

I have been waiting for this for so long and highly enjoyed it, but it is probably my least favorite in the series. I wonder if the wait and expectation of greatness is a setup for disappointment.

I just love the brothers, all of them. They are truly masculine and just so yummy. In the previous books there was a buzz from those who felt the story was approaching into homosexuality. I did not get that vibe and even if I did I would be A ok with it. The reality built by Ward is still fresh and so great to follow. She has a great imagination.
