NO RESERVATIONS: Four days in Vegas. Two sexy and determined men. One penthouse suite… And No Reservations.
Christmas isn’t so merry for Kate and Leah. Kate’s romantic winter holiday is destroyed by the sudden and uninvited presence of Dix’s annoying ex-wife while Brandon’s super-perfect family and a diamond ring sends Leah running for the refuge of a girl’s holiday in Sin City with Kate in tow.
Dix and Brandon both know what they want. Hopping a plane in hot pursuit, the men show up in Vegas, ready to use every sensual trick they have to convince Kate and Leah to take a gamble on forever.

by Amanda Leigh January 4th, 2010 at 11:17 amI received a ton of books for Christmas. One I just finished reading and thoroughly enjoying was Todd Strasser “Wish You Were Dead”. Although it’s a thriller ostensibly directed at the teen set, those of us who were and weren’t part of the ‘popular clique’ at school will enjoy the read as we empathize with the characters and follow the twists and turns.
by Julie Smith January 4th, 2010 at 11:18 amI cannot think of an author that I have recently come across…nor are there any new authors that I have found recently that I am interested it. My tbr pile is so big, along with my book reviews I do that I have not gone shopping for books in a while.

I have a few books by Lara Adrian that I really need to read. Everyone tells me that they are good. It’s just that I have so many on my TBR pile. LOL
by Barbara January 4th, 2010 at 1:46 pmI just read my first book by Susan Wiggs. It was a nice departure from my norm. I would def. read her again.
by Jennifer Louden January 4th, 2010 at 1:51 pmCharlaine Harris’ The Southern Vampire Mysteries-fun, fast & interesting books. Again, the books are better than the “movie”. In this case, the True Blood HBO series.
