Review: Out of Sight

Out of Sight Out of Sight by Melissa Klein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ooh, a rainfall showerhead. Nice.

Reading is like breathing to me as well.

I hate Tripp.

No news is good news. No evidence means someone's hiding something.

It sounds like she was a target. Could Tripp have put a hit out on her?

I wonder what Hank was diagnosed with.

The woman at the institution is a witch.

He really needs to stop drinking.

Damn. That would be a bad diagnosis for anybody, but especially a pilot.

Patience is a virtue, honey. I know, it's hard.

Jamie is a good person.

That mama's boy definitely either hired someone or set the fire himself.

They're cute together.

Ha, she likes slapping him in the stomach.

Damn, all three brothers have it?

What good are cops if they don't rush to help?

It's like we've entered the Twilight Zone.

I need an epilogue!

Review: The Scot Beds His Wife

The Scot Beds His Wife The Scot Beds His Wife by Kerrigan Byrne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

That's child abuse!

Damn, I wish his mother could get a divorce, or at least run away with Thorne, maybe even Liam.

Thank God his mother survived!

Crap, I thought Liam would turn out okay. I guess that night was the tipping point. Is Hamish the one who was hanged? Because I wouldn't have minded that.

Did the government allow you to change your last name like that?

What just happened?

Really, Sam, You just met a hot Highlander, and you're thinking you might have to shoot him one day?

What is he, in the mafia? Does he always travel in a pack?

Whoa. She is really taking this acting job seriously. If I didn't know better, I'd think she actually was Alison Ross.

A lot of cursing going on.

Small world.

They did not have that phrase in the 1800's.

Yep, Callum knows.

She keeps tripping up with things that the Scottish-born Alison would know.

He was going to shoot a pregnant cow! Shouldn't he know the signs of labor if he is going to be a cattle baron? Although it is cute how mesmerized he is by the miracle of life.

Shoot, she's pregnant. A baby is always a blessing, though.

Damn, things just escalated quickly. Her brothers-in-law must have followed her.

When did Dorian enter the picture, I wonder.

Aw, I sense a love match between his mother and Callum's father.

Only he could propose, and in the next breath plan their eventual affairs.

Should pregnant women be taking laudanum? I always wondered.

Whose name will she sign on the marriage certificate?

Yeesh, a branding iron? Ouch!

I like how she talks back to His Lairdship.

Does this make the real Alison a bigamist?

Um, guys? Did you forget you're outside, and that he was about to go on a ride with other men?

They're just so cute together!

Colleen was schizophrenic.

Just when you think your problems are over, the cops show up.

Sex on a train.

They say the true test of a relationship is travel.

Ruh-roh!

Haha, I know, right?

Such a great set-up for future books.

Review: Tempting Fate

Tempting Fate Tempting Fate by Pamela Clare
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

She must have been dirt-poor if it took her five years to take this trip.

Damn, this got ugly fast.

Wow, he's super smart.

Good boy, Shota!

Shoot, this is eerily similar to poor Win's experience.

Small world.

Who knew search-and-rescue could be geeky?

Oh, you don't say "tribe"? Good to know.

Man, she was homeless at one point? Has anything fantastic ever happened to this woman?

I never heard of these occupations. They should teach more about Native history in school.

These agents suck.

Chaska is really good at this tracking thing. He does his ancestors proud.
Now this is a good hospital!

I have no idea what he does for a living, but it sounds important.

There are jerks in every culture.

Does anyone charge for a rescue?

Have a little self-respect, Nicole.

Crap, I'm sorry that happened to your friend, Megs.

What's the point of a shelter if you make restrictions on who can stay? Idiots.

That was so cool! I would be scared to death, but that was interesting.

That is a beautiful way of looking at the human body.

Bastards.

I love Bear.

Ouch! You definitely can't be a wimp and do the Sun Dance.

Yeah, I don't blame him for being mad at his father.

Um, what's the deal with the jalapenos?

Now that's the way to learn a new language!

Damn, our poor vets.

Doug slept with the girl, and called her house. You'd think he'd know her name.

Aw, I want to cry!

This is like Scripture Ping-Pong.

There's people who have "smart" homes, while the original settlers of our country don't have water and electricity?!

It's good that they as a Nation feel a sense of pride and want to get back to their roots.

Even her "new" parents are matchmaking, haha.

Ohh. One bride-price, fulfilled.

You should read the Author's Note, everybody.

What is Accessibility, Really?

My family and I want to go away for the Independence Day holiday, as millions of people do. But if you're disabled, it's that much harder. Forget about flying anywhere. No thank you! Driving (or in my case, being driven) is annoying enough. Sitting for long hours in a car makes my back hurt, not to mention it makes the swelling in my legs that much worse. Sometimes I need a vacation from my vacation!

So you've arrived at your destination. Now what? You've spoken to a live person and made your needs known, right? A nice lady at the hotel assured me that though they did not have any accessible rooms available, they would have a shower chair handy, put grab bars in the shower, and install a raised toilet seat for the length of my short stay. Free of charge!This is the Holy Grail of hotels, I tell you. Go to the Bird-in-Hand Family Inn in Lancaster, PA if you can! https://bird-in-hand.com/bird-in-hand-family-inn/

I've been to London, and they assured us that the hotel was accessible, and so was the room. Ha! Mind you, it was a Holiday Inn, so we thought, of course they're accessible. American ones are! Not the case. My mother had to do a lot of lifting that trip. Good thing we were only there four days.

I just researched another hotel in another location, with another well-known name. They say the room is ADA-accessible and meets all the requirements. I just looked at the pictures of the room. The shower, while for once being an actual shower, has a lip on the side! I wouldn't be able to get my wheelchair close enough to the shower chair to transfer. Not without someone's help. If you're going to call something "accessible", make sure I can actually access it! We shouldn't need someone's help to do the easiest things like brush our teeth or take a shower. We can do it ourselves at home; why not on vacation?

Review: SEALs of Honor: Mason

SEALs of Honor: Mason SEALs of Honor: Mason by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

That is one useful birdcall.

I like the author's inside joke with the reader.

Oh, he can talk but she can't? Such a double standard.

Haha, he knows your name, babe!

Whose job was it to look after the prisoner? Because they failed.

Well that's keeping her quiet. Did they not think Daniel would have friends?

She's quite smart.

I'm sure her brother would have never told her the bad parts of his stories.

She's crabby when she's sick.

Whoo-ee, she has no fear, does she. But poor Johann.

Damn bureaucrats sent soldiers into danger without all the facts? Grr.

Heck, they should have embedded a tracking device under her skin.

Ooh, that was smart. I could never make myself bleed like that, though.
Love a lady who rescues herself.

She's got her priorities straight.

Err...So the same guy who was pressuring her a year ago, coincidentally when her company was hacked, is trying to hack in again. And she doesn't see a connection?

Ugh, it's a trap, people!

Checkmate goes to Tesla Landers.

Her father knew who the bad guy was and never said anything?

Review: Expecting the Billionaire's Baby

Expecting the Billionaire's Baby Expecting the Billionaire's Baby by Andrea Laurence
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hmm, wonder why she went right for rich babies as her target audience.

Sure, lots of mothers work. Chip and her father sound like sexist pigs.

What's more important, your social standing or your daughter, idiot?

Damn. Talk about having something to stick in people's faces!

Lot of hassle just to see an old girlfriend. And what if she finds out Deacon got her the interview?

Simone sounds flighty. I can definitely see her as a Mean Girl.

Did this guy just order for her? Oh, hell no!

Love is supposed to be unconditional.

Can we clone him? I want a Deacon.

I hate her parents more and more with every page.

Okay, now I'm hungry. And thirsty.

She should stay and hold her head up. Although, France.

Well, that's giving a little boy a lesson in sex ed he won't forget!

Pompous twit. And why are you taking this lying down, Deacon? You're richer. So what if he has more "class". You're a better human being.

This must be some ring.
