Finding Paradise (Michele Ashman Bell)

Welcome to sunny Cancun. The only problem is Morgan Rose would rather be sitting at home than hanging out with her best friend’s parents in an exotic vacation resort full of couples on romantic getaways. She’s decided to perform her Maid-of Honor duties at Samantha’s wedding and catch the next flight back to her predictable life. Then she meets Justin, the groom’s best man. At first she finds him annoying—cute, but annoying. But soon she realizes that there is much more to this good-looking man than his fun-loving exterior suggests. When their brief time together ends, they promise to keep in touch and, more importantly, to meet again six months later to see if their attraction has any lasting possibilities. But time has a way of complicating even the most beautiful beginnings, and Morgan will soon be forced to make a difficult decision that could change the course of her life.

Home In Time For Christmas (Heather Graham)

Centuries ago, by a scaffold in Manhattan, rose petals drifted gently to the ground...like snow on a wintry Massachussetts night. Melody Tarleton is driving home for Christmas when a man - clad in Revolutionary war-era costume - appears out of nowhere, right in the path of her car. Shaken, she takes the injured stranger in, listening with concern to Jake Mallory's fantastic claim that he's a Patriot soldier, sentenced to death by British authorities. The last thing he remembers is the tug of the noose. Safe at her parent's house, Melody concocts a story to explain the handsome holiday guest with the courtly manners, strange clothes and nasty bump on the head. Mark, her close friends who wishes he were more, is skeptical and her family is fascinated - though not half as fascinated as Melody herself. Jake is passionate, charming and utterly unlike anyone she has ever met. Can her really be who he claims? And can a man from the distant past be the future she truly longs for?
With the aid of enchanted petals, ancient potions and the peculiar magic of the season, Melody and Jake embark on an unimaginable Christmas adventure - and discover a love that transcends time.

This was a little different than what I've come to expect from Heather Graham. It was light and didnt have anything that goes bump in the night. Saying that, I still enjoyed it.

A Modest Proposal (Michele Ashman Bell)

All my life I had dreamed of changing the ordinary girl’s world of fashion by designing modest formal gowns—ones that you’d actually want to wear. With my super-hero stitching I would save you mothers and daughters crying in dressing rooms over yet another “the straps are just too small” prom dress. Don’t worry, I even thought of a catchy tagline for my brand: “Modest Is Hottest.” I told you I was good!So I moved to New York and am finally living that dream . . . well, almost. I am at one of the top fashion companies, and my designs are definitely modest—but let’s face it, when it comes to outerwear, would you want to buy a skimpy trench coat? Didn’t think so.Even though I don’t have my dream job, my family is a mess, and my love life stinks, I have a feeling things are going to change. I mean, they have to soon, or I’ll be forced to marry Jace. I did promise to become his wife only if I turned thirty and was still single, but I honestly didn’t think it was possible. Now twenty-nine, I’m cutting it way too close. Right now I’m flying back to Utah for our Butterfly Girls reunion. And since it is the Mormon Mecca, I might find myself a modest proposal. Utah engagements can take mere weeks. Never mind, I’m not that desperate. Really.But maybe the girls can help. We’ve been best friends since high school. We Butterfly Girls are not the typical Pink Ladies, although we’ve definitely had our share of drama. We’ll laugh and cry over memories, from pageant glory to tragic endings, but the ones stored inside our butterfly box will surprise you most. We only open it when we’re all together, and our lives never seem the same after.

This is a cute story about a young lady that shows that if you put your heart into your dreams, you can acheive anything you want to, even when the rest of the world don't agree. This is the 1st book of this series.

City of Fallen Angels (Cassandra Clare)

Who will fall in love and who will find their relationship torn apart?
Who will betray everything they ever believed in?
Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge.
In the heart-pounding fourth installment of the Immortal Instruments series, the stakes are higher than ever.

It feels like I've been waiting FOREVER for this book to come out. I was so excited to finally find out what happens next in this series. I was a little bit let down, though. There wasnt anything that put me off about the book but it just didnt grab me like the others. I did enjoy hearing more of Simon's view than we have in the past.

Hunt the Moon (Karen Chance)

Cassandra Palmer recently defeated a God, which you'd think would buy a girl a little time off. But it doesn work that way when your new job description is Pythia - the world's chief clairvoyant. Cassie is busier than ever, trying to learn about her power, preparing for her upcoming coronation, and figuring out her relationship with the enigmatic sexy master vampire, Mircea.

But someone doesnt want Cassie to become Pythia, and is willing to go to any lengths to make sure the coronation ceremony never happens - including attacking her mother before she is even born.

I love this series! I was hoping, yet despairing, that this would be the last one. Hoping because I HATE having to wait for the next one and despairing because I love the twists and turns that Karen Chance delivers in her books. Alas, this ended in such a way that I know there will be more to come.

This book was as full of action as all the others. It was sexy, funny, and leaves you wanting more.

Shades of Gray (Rachel Ann Nunes)

Unfortunately, Jake's help doesn't seem to be all Kolonda wants. Autumn is equally confused about her own changing feelings for jake and for Detective Martin.

Both investigations take a danderous turn, with millions of dollars and many lives at stake, including that of an innocent young boy. Only by reading imprints - emotions left on certain objects - and putting herself at risk can Autumn unravel the mystery and save her friends.

I am loving this series. It was suspensful enough that I couldn't put the book down. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

This is a relaxing love story. It isn't a story you have to read non-stop, cut it is a good book to cuddle up with on a rainy day. This is book two of the Callahans of Texas Series.
