Description: The next installment in the Argeneau series and it isn't my favorite. Etienne can'tThe next installment in the Argeneau series and it isn't my favorite. Etienne can't stop a mortal from putting him in the morgue twice, and, if Rachel hadn't stepped in front of the ax, he would have been decapitated there. Rachel has seen the same man, dead, twice, but still doesn't believe it when the Argeneaus tell her they are vampires.
This series makes a big deal out of life-mates not being able to read each other's minds, but these two are shocked when the other doesn't know how they feel. Geesh!
I like this series and this wasn't awful. But if the next one in this series follows in the same vein, I'll definitely be rethinking reading the whole series....

I was pleasantly surprised with the story, but then I've only had a peripheral experience with Alzheimer's patients and families.

Description: Picked it up to read before bed and ended up reading it all the way through. Classic romance,Picked it up to read before bed and ended up reading it all the way through.

Samantha has always been the good girl desperate for her parents' love, and now she is willingly marrying a rich man to fix the financial ruin of her father. ...

Description: Mary Lisa has a stalker, but no one can come up with any legitimate ideas. None of her friendsMary Lisa has a stalker, but no one can come up with any legitimate ideas. None of her friends can imagine someone trying to harm her and the police are out of leads.
During one of her visits to her hometown and less-than-welcoming family, she and her friends manage to step smack-down in the middle of a murder investigation.
The reason for the switches between real-life and the story on <i>Born to be Wild</i> is never really clear, but the factoids at the beginning of each chapter are interesting.
Lots of action, romance and interesting people make this an amusing way to spend a couple of hours....

Description: Yes, it is another Drake sister novel, but it is the best of the lot so far. For a changeYes, it is another Drake sister novel, but it is the best of the lot so far. For a change the villain isn’t completely obvious and there are quite a few viable options. As to the romance aspect, that is a little different as well. Both of these characters are supposed to be genius level smart. Feehan pulls it off with Libby, but Tyson just comes off as an arrogant jackass. He thinks her family is all charlatans and con artists and decides to gently teach her differently. In some sections he comes off as sweet while socially inept, but in others he thinks that being smart makes him better than everyone else.
As always, I enjoy reading Feehan’s books and this is less predictable than most. While I have issues with the hero, the book is fun and revisiting the Drake family is always comfortable. I look forward to more in this series....

Description: These stories remind of when I was young and sitting around the table when my extended familyThese stories remind of when I was young and sitting around the table when my extended family was together. The reminiscing could start with tears and flow to laughter and back again in the blink of an eye. For my grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles it was the fabric of their lives. For us kids it was a window into a different time and the chance to see our closest loved ones in a new perspective....
