Ramblings From This Chick

A fun listen

Revisado: 11-26-18

I really enjoyed this one. I'm a BIG fan of Anna Kendrick's and I love the way she tells a story and her humor. Her whit was all over this book and I found it hard to stop listening. If you are a fan of Anna's I suggest you pick up this one.

Couldn't get enough!

Revisado: 11-26-18

Loved this book from beginning to end. I've always been a big fan of The Princess Bride and I thoroughly enjoyed this behind the scenes look at the movie. I enjoyed the little antinodes from everyone in the cast. I really liked how everyone would narrate their own part. This book was over way too soon and it left me not only wanting more but to watch the movie yet again. A fantastic book.

Fantastic

This was my first book from author Suzanne Young and it definitely won't be my last. I really enjoyed this one and I can't wait to get my hands on more from her.

The life of Savannah Sutton hasn't been and easy one and at time my heart broke for her. She's dealt with and is dealing with a lot in this book and I liked that no matter what life threw at her she picked herself up and kept persevering. I admire her and wish I was more like her.

Another fantastic installment in the IAD series.

Revisado: 12-19-15

Another fantastic installment in the Immortals After Dark series. Going in I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book or not. The blurb didn't really catch my eye but I was sure wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed and couldn't get enough. I loved the heated chemistry between Jo (Josephine) and Rune and found myself routing for them pretty quickly.

I really liked Rune. He's a manwhore and kind of stuck in his ways and at times reminded me of a stodgy old man but I loved him. He had this try whit that I really liked and once he came around I loved the way he was with Jo.

As for Jo there were moments that I loved her and then moments that she annoyed the ever living hell out of me. I liked that she was spunky and brash and pretty much doesn't take anyone's crap but then at times I found her immature and rude. It was kind of like whiplash for me as in one scene she would do something that made me laugh and then the next I was rolling my eyes in irritation.

One thing that surprised me in this book was my feelings towards Nix...yeah I wasn't a big fan of hers and I LOVE Nix. I hated how she acted towards Jo. I hope that it was a fluke and it's only this book that she's like this because I really like Nix and usually can't get enough of her.

All in all, Sweet Ruin was a great installment in the IAD series and left me eager for more. Kresley Cole introduced a few new characters that I can't wait to read more about and I'm can't wait to see how things turn out for this Accession.

Fantastic! Couldn't stop listening!

Revisado: 09-05-15

RIDICULOUS!! “Reasonable Doubt” by Whitney G was phenomenal. I started this audiobook on Tuesday Morning and finished it Tuesday afternoon. I was obsessed, addicted and completely intrigued with the storyline, the characters and the narrators! I took any chance I could to listen to this fantastic story.

Since “Reasonable Doubt” has been reviewed already, and I utterly and completely agree with my fellow reviewers, I will say I was captivated by Andrew Hamilton and Audrey. Andrew is ridiculous. He is so hilarious I found myself laughing-out-loud. If I had read this book I would have ended up high lightening half the book. I found myself stopping the audio and listening to some parts over and over because some parts were so hilarious and other times (mostly Andrew’s dialogue) was so shocking. His take- no- prisoners, do-whatever-I-want-attitude made him irritating and at the same time fascinating. Luckily Aubrey can hold her own. When she meets Andrew she is young, ten years younger. I loved the tension between them even before they come face to face. I know that this story comes in different parts but I can’t imagine having to wait for the different segments! I was anticipating the corresponding parts of this story. This became one of my favorite stories. I loved the way Williams revealed Andrew’s past. There were moments when I was heartbroken. There were moments I hated Andrew. Really, just a phenomenal story! I also loved Aubrey. She was a character that started out in college, pre-law and very young but she quickly matured. I only had one little complaint about the storyline. Other than Andrew’s life in New York we never knew anything else about him.

Sebastian York was phenomenal as Andrew. He really brought him to life. He really got Andrew and was able to convey all his emotions so effectively. Erin Mallon was equally fantastic. She made Audrey come alive and made her real. I thought both narratives were fantastic. They were perfect for these two parts. Needless to say, “Reasonable Doubt” narrated by Sebastian York and Erin Mallon is as good as it gets!

Awesome. Listened in pretty much one sitting.

Revisado: 09-05-15

So.Damn.Good. I just want to sit and bask in the awesomeness that was Sustained. It was yet another book from Emma Chase that I loved and once again is solidifying why she is one of my favorite authors. From beginning to end I was hooked and I just couldn't get enough.

I'll be honest I wasn't 100% sure how I was going to like this book. I'm not the biggest fan of books with kids. 90% percent of the time I feel like they are used as props or comic relief and don't really bring much to the story and tend to annoy me. Yeah, that wasn't the case with with book at all. I honestly found myself craving scenes with the kids. I laughed at their antics and hurt when they hurt. I feel like Emma Chase brought each and every kid (there were 6) to life and gave them all personalities and made me fall in love with them all. They were adorable and I loved how they were with Jake. So damn cute.

Oh Jake. Jake, Jake, Jake...sexy as hell Jake. I liked him. A LOT! He was sexy, fierce, passionate and so caring when it came to Chelsea and the kids. I loved his take charge ways and honestly I really loved him with the kids. Some of my favorite parts of this story revolved around him and the kids. As for him and Chelsea I thought that they had great chemistry together. They were hot and sexy and I was rooting for them from the beginning. I loved that they didn't immediately rush into things. They both got to know each other before things really took between them. And let me tell you, they were HOT together.

I will say that I do feel like Chelsea was a bit too much of a goody goody. She just came across as this perfect character and it just didn't ring all the way true to me. Maybe it's because the book is told in the POV of Jake only and he's only seeing the good but I would have liked her to be a bit more raw. Don't get me wrong, I liked Chelsea a lot.

Seriously though, these two together were so great. They were hot and sexy but also so much more. I loved that they became a team. They helped each other out and backed one another up. Theirs wasn't a rushed HEA. Their relationship was a slow simmer that built up throughout the book. It was intense at times and oh so sweet at others.

Let me just say that Sebastian York has one hell of a sexy voice. He can read me stereo instructions and I'll be hooked. I feel like his voice was just made to narrate Emma Chase books because he does her characters justice. He's able to convey so much and he makes me believe in the characters and their actions 100%. I felt like he brought Jake to life and I couldn't get enough.

Sustained really was a fantastic book and I just can't wait to read more from Emma Chase. I am loving this series and the characters that encompass it. I'm itching to get my hands on the next book something fierce. Seriously, I can't recommend this book enough.

Fun, light and great chemistry

Revisado: 02-03-15

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, the plot was good. The characters were fun. They had good chemistry.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I liked it and it made perfect sense.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I thought she made the female character and really most of the females sound whiny.

Could you see The Devil in Denim being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

yes, it would make a fun series. The heroine could be played by Rachel Adams and the hero Christ Pratt
