She Can Run by Melinda Leigh (book review)



Elizabeth was a young widow with two small children when she met Congressman Richard Baker. Handsome and wealthy, with a sparkling public image, Richard seemed like the perfect man to provide the security that Beth and her kids were craving. But when she uncovers a dangerous secret about her new husband, Beth realizes he will go to any lengths—even murder—to keep it. After barely escaping with her life, she and her children flee. They eventually make their way to a secluded estate in the Pennsylvania countryside, where Beth dares to hope she has found a safe place at last…
Forced into retirement by an unexpected injury, Philadelphia homicide detective Jack O’Malley is mourning the loss of his career when his uncle abruptly dies, leaving Jack to dispose of his crumbling country house. Unbeknownst to him, his uncle engaged a caretaker just before his death, a mysterious woman with two children and a beautiful face that haunts his dreams. Determined to know her, Jack begins an investigation into Beth’s past. When he uncovers the shocking truth, and a local woman is viciously murdered, Jack puts his own life on the line to keep Beth and her children safe.



MY REVIEW

This story tries to be too many things while including too many story lines and I kept getting confused other than that the story was ok. I don't think I will ever read this one ever again because this book just wasn't for me.

I give this 3 out of 5.

Fingerprint Apps for Kids




I was recently asked to  review Fingerprint , a ipod/iPad/iPhone app which is dedicated to developing great games that kids can play anywhere.

Fingerprint Play, launched by mom and former #2 at LeapFrog, Nancy MacIntyre, is dedicated to developing great games that kids can play
anywhere. And while they play, they learn--everything from story
comprehension to math skills.

Fingerprint games provide a fun and educational shared gaming experience on iOS devices for parent and child. Every Fingerprinted app meets expert standards for age appropriate curriculum, are branded with a FP logo in the app store, and can be accessed through one hub-page. 



Big Kid Life Firefighter 
Ages 4-7
Rampaging Fire Monsters are on the loose in Big City – chasing kitties, scaring puppies and setting things on fire! Kids use a special backpack hose to drench Fire Monsters, use ladders to climb past obstacles, and save kitties and puppies – all while practicing math, color and shape identification skills. 

Big Kid Life Veterinarian
Ages 3-6
Find out what’s ailing your pet! Kids X-ray animals and see what’s inside, revealing an exciting seek touch-and-seek game teaches letter and shape identification, phonics, logic and geometry.

Big Kid Life Fairy Princess
Ages 4-7
Every level tells a story, where everyday activities become fantastic adventures stories. Kids play through 15 magical adventures creating their very own Fairy Princess story while practicing story comprehension.

FINGERPRINT PLAYMAKER - A custom character creation game (created by Fingerprint)
Ages 4-8
Kids make their own play by customizing their character’s clothing, win and lose animations and sound effects to make a learning app as unique their own fingerprint. Kids learn number, shape and color identification, as well as addition, subtraction and word building.

Each game comes with the one-of-a-kind in-app Mom-Comm that allows parents to stay engaged in their kids’ experience. Features include:
  • Message Center: parents can write a note, record a voice message, or send a pre-scripted message or emoticons to encourage their kids
  • Snapshot: parents can receive a quick report via email, in app messaging or Facebook on what their kid is learning and playing
  • Recommendations: after a kid completes a game, Fingerprint can make recommendations to parents to help them choose a new game that will be enjoyable and appropriate, based on the kid's interests and skill set
Check out their website http://www.fingerprintplay.com/ and their facebook page.

These games are super cute and fun and of course educational. I highly recommend this to all of you who have children 3 to 8 years old.  Your children will love these apps.

Between a Rock and a Mad Woman by Stephanie Queen (ebook review)




A novel of romance and political intrigue. In this world of politics, romance wins over cynicism and the good guys finish first.

Not since JFK, has a political candidate used his wit and charm to such an advantage as Peter “the Rock”. On the other hand, there hasn’t been a woman so admired as a crusader against corrupt power since Joan of Arc… until “Mad” Madeline. Madeline is running for Governor of Massachusetts against Peter. Madeline and Peter were once in love—before she broke his heart.
In the midst of the campaign battle they reignite their volatile relationship, but on warring sides of the ticket, they can’t afford for the media to find out too. As they fight each other for office they find they have an enemy in common. When their enemy drives up the stakes, Peter must decide if he’ll risk his career and fight with Madeline to overcome the political crisis. Madeline has to decide if she trusts Peter—and whether she still loves him.

In Her Sights by Robin Perini (book review)



Jasmine "Jazz" Parker, Jefferson County SWAT's only female sniper, can thread the eye of a needle with a bullet. But she carries a secret from her past that she thought she buried for good at the age of fifteen. Two years ago she even drove away the one man she believed she could love--ex-Army Ranger turned reporter Luke Montgomery--to keep her past hidden. Now, in a fleeting second, the time it takes for one clean shot, one perfect hit, to save the life of the governor's daughter, Jazz's world begins to crumble around her.

Luke splashes her face and name across the front page of the newspaper, reawakening her past with a vengeance. A vicious enemy is now bent on destroying her life, forcing Jazz to turn to the one man she can never have in order to stop a killer before she and everyone she cares about pays the ultimate price. Full of explosive action and almost unbearable suspense, In Her Sights is a relentless, steamy thriller surprisingly infused with soul and poignancy.

MY REVIEW
If you are into fast-paced romantic suspense novels then this is a book for you. I read this book yesterday afternoon and I must say it was a amazing book. I could not put it down and I am sure you will not as well. Very well written and I know I will read this book again in the near future.

Hello everyone

Some of you may have noticed that I have not been online much during the past 3 days and unforuntely I will most likely not be online as much as I used to until after December 12th.  Not to worry i am fine. It is just that on Friday afternoon our Wifi went out on us and I will not be getting it fixed until my hubby is back.
I will still do my reviews  as planned because i will be using hubby's computer until we get the wifi fixed so I will still have blog posts coming up.

One good thing about the wifi not working is that I am spending a lot more time reading so I might just be able to catch up. 

Anyways I just wanted to let you all know.
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

Go Green Food Packaging Review & Giveaway

I was given the opportunity  to review a bunch of awesome food trays from Go Green Food Packaging Company. Actually they sent me 100 of them!  At first I really had no clue what I would do with all these food trays  but then I had a few ideas. I could make cookies or other deserts, put them in the trays and freeze them or maybe when we have family or friends over for dinner I could send them off with leftovers in these trays. But the trays I have received are the ones that can be put in freezer but can not recommended for heating so I guess I would have to warn everyone.  Even if you do not get lids, plastic wrap does stick to these trays.
These trays are valued at $25
sorry for the bad photo. I used my Smartphone

 
Go Green Food Packaging is biodegradable, eco-friendly and they use 30% less energy and materials than the average food packaging systems. Isn't that great?

Check out their website  and their facebook page and they are also on Twitter.

Tame A Wild Heart by Cynthia Woolf ebook review

 



He's not her brother, but Duncan thinks Catherine sure needs one. A woman has no business trying to run a ranch. Not in 1880s Creede, Colorado. Even though she's loved him forever, she swears she doesn't need his help, but in between stampedes, fires and a kidnapping, the ex-bounty hunter and gunslinger becomes determined to do more than protect the ranch. Working together to catch a dangerous outlaw might just be the best thing that ever happened to them both.

Darius is charged with delivering his brother's bride home to Centauri, ready to be queen. Falling in love isn't just forbidden, it's a death sentence for him and for his world.

This is a great book with romance and science fiction. This is the first book in the series. It is are stand alone you don't have to read book one to enjoy book two. As soon as I was done with reading this one I couldn't wait to read the second one , Centauri Twilight so I just had to start reading that one.

Sleight Of Hand (Stolen Hearts) by Kate Kelly ebook review

Chance Spencer, doesn’t steal. At least, not any more.
Suddenly suspected of stealing half a million dollars of original paintings, Chance Spencer can’t afford to have the FBI delve too closely into his covert past. When one agent in particular endeavors to put him behind bars, Chance coerces the real thief’s daughter, Sarah O’Sullivan, into helping him flush her wily father out of hiding. Both want him found. Sarah, to warn her father of Chance’s intent to turn him over to the FBI. Chance, to hopefully catch the thief red-handed. To succeed in capturing the thief Chance must keep Sarah close to him. But his plan quickly deteriorates when the stakes for his freedom soar. How can he ruthlessly use the woman he’s falling in love with?

Sarah O'Sullivan is also looking for her father, but for different reasons. With her best friend getting married, Sarah realizes she's alone in the world and needs her family. That would be her father, who has been absent most of her boarding-school life. When Chance arrives in New York to inform her he's going after her father, Sarah follows him to Canada, hoping to warn him before Chance or the FBI find him. But living in close proximity with Chance, Sarah soon starts falling in love with him. She struggles with her divided loyalties as the FBI and the local police close in for an arrest. Someone has to be arrested for the theft. Chance or her father?

MY REVIEW

This is the second book by Kate Kelly that I have had the pleasure to read and review. After the first book I was a fan and I was going to look for Kate's other books but Kate asked me  if I wanted to review 2 of her other books and I jumped on the chance.  
Anyways, I have to say I very much loved this book. I read it last night and I was hooked from the beginning. I loved the main characters (Chance and Sarah) and I loved that the setting was in Canada. I have not read many books that the story took place in Canada. I highly recommend this to all romantic suspense fans.

Something Witchy This Way Comes by Veronica Blade book review

 

Brainiac Tessa McClean’s newly discovered magical powers give her an escape from her self-absorbed parents. But the thrill of being a witch fades when she learns of a rival coven and begins to suspect her own coven’s motives. Evidence tells Tessa to trust one side, but instinct drives her toward the other. When the school’s scrumptious delinquent, Hayden Anders, offers Tessa self-defense lessons in exchange for tutoring, his timing couldn’t be better. Although hanging out with him is a necessary evil in Tessa’s fight to stay alive, resisting a bad-boy she secretly yearns for might be more than she can manage. Together, Tessa and Hayden work to unravel the mysteries behind the two covens to discover why they’ll stop at nothing to lure Tessa to their side. She must form an alliance with one of the covens before it’s too late. But the wrong decision could cost Tessa the lives of all who she holds dear — including Hayden

MY REVIEW
This is a YA Urban Fantasy Romance but you can enjoy this one even if you are 30-something. I absolutely love this book and it will be one that I most likely will be reading this at some point. I mean what is there not to love? Great characters, full of action and mystery plus of course Witches. I highly recommend this one.

I give this 5 out of 5
