  Official book description:

I have a plan.

We'll either destroy them for good, or they'll destroy us.

Either way, only one of us is walking away.

In the stunning conclusion to the wildly popular White Rabbit Chronicles, Alice "Ali" Bell thinks the worst is behind her. She's ready to take the next step with boyfriend Cole Holland, the leader of the zombie slayers…until Anima Industries, the agency controlling the zombies, launches a sneak attack, killing four of her friends. It's then she realizes that humans can be more dangerous than monsters…and the worst has only begun.

As the surviving slayers prepare for war, Ali discovers she, too, can control the zombies…and she isn't the girl she thought she was. She's connected to the woman responsible for killing—and turning—Cole's mother. How can their relationship endure? As secrets come to light, and more slayers are taken or killed, Ali will fight harder than ever to bring down Anima—even sacrificing her own life for those she loves.

Review Of What The Bride Didn't Know By Kelly Hunter

Shh…it's a secret!

Special ops expert Trig Sinclair is a man's man, and that means he knows the cardinal rule of the bro code—no matter how dynamite Lena West is, as his best friend's younger sister, she's strictly off-limits!

But when a secret mission to Istanbul sees Lena and Trig pretending to be married (and sharing a bed!), he finds himself in a whole new world of sweet torture…. But if Trig thinks playing the honor-bound hero is tough, it's got nothing on how Lena feels when she discovers what her "groom" is really hiding…

I am a sucker for best friend romances. Maybe it’s because the idea of such a strong yet platonic relationship that grows into a romance strikes me as a good basis for a lasting relationship, or maybe it’s because the characters always seem perfect for each other. I’m not sure. What I am sure of however is that I really enjoyed this book.
 It is absolutely perfect if you want a light read with touching romance, thought out back-story and some 007 action. From the prologue, I adored the relationship between Trig and Lena. The sexual tension practically leapt of the page, while both characters remained totally oblivious. Lena’s oblivion comes from her insecurities.
   As a character, Lena is fantastically done. She is insecure due to being the ordinary one in a family of geniuses, and because of the scars she got from a mission gone wrong. Despite this, she is tough, independent and feisty, as well as being well aware of her flaws. In a way she’s someone most people can relate to, while also possessing the characteristics we aspire to.
  Trig is the perfect match for Lena, supportive, kind and understanding, as well as knowing her well enough to know when to back off.
  However, things don't really heat up until Lena loses her memory… And believes that her best friend is her husband. Then the chemistry is off the charts, as Trig tries to avoid intimacy until Lena regains her memory.
  The middle Eastern settings are vivid and beautiful, and Kelly Hunter’s writing is simple and enjoyable.
All in all I’d give it about 3 ½ out of 5
 Overall: Touching Read!
Genre: Romance

Review: Accidentally… Cimil? By Mimi Jean Pamfiloff




Cimil. Bargain hunter? Philanthropist? Terrorist? Or just plain crazy? Whatever she is, happy isn't one of them.

Roberto the Ancient One, who's had his eye on Cimil for four thousand years, has patiently waited for the day to make her his forever. And to deliver payback for the centuries of humiliation he's endured due to her theatrics. But can Cimil's wild heart and mind ever be tamed?


Who knows? But it's going to fun watching him try.

I was introduced to Mimi Jean’s brilliant stories recently, and fell immediately in love. Funny, full of angst, pain, heartbreak and gods…. I just couldn’t resist! And all through her Accidentally In Love series, there was one character with whom I loved; Yup, it was Cimil.
   She’s funny, smart, egotistical, narcissistic, mysterious... and totally batshit crazy. What’s not to love? Needless to say, I couldn’t wait to find out more about her! And ‘Roberto” her on/off romance, and this novella did not disappoint. It begins before the events of any of the other novels, revealing the origins of Cimil’s crazy. During this time period she meets Narmer/Roberto.
   I admit, I wasn’t sold on him at first. His ego was far, far too big for any normal person to even like him – but then I remembered that Cimil was the heroin of the story, and he fit her perfectly. Throughout the novella he began to grow on me regardless, as the layers of narcissism were pulled back and an actual relationship began to form between the characters.
 All in all I had many laugh out loud moments, a few “oh no he didn’t!” moments and a lot of fun reading Cimil (and her unicorn’s!) story. Finally, we get to learn more about Minky! Seriously, there is a unicorn in this story. Read it if only for that.
  I give it 4/5.

Ten Reasons To Stay Sabrina Jeffries Review




 A delightful eNovella from New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries about a young woman who learns that you can’t learn about love from a textbook.

In "Ten Reasons to Stay," previously published in the anthology The School for Heiresses, lessons go far beyond etiquette and needlepoint. Eliza Crenshawe’s lesson is to look before she leaps. But when she discovers that her new guardian plans to marry her off without so much as a Season, she forgets all that. She flees—on a horse she unwittingly steals (oops!)—from Colin Hunt, a newly minted earl who wants nothing more than for her to go home…or stay forever



Sabrina Jeffries is probably one of my favourite historical romance authors. And this novella was what introduced me to her work, back when it was part of an anthology. So now that it's available for purchase by itself, this seems like the perfect time to review it!
  The story has no lulls, and, as always, her characters are brilliant, well written, relatable and flawed. Her clear writing style sends you straight into 19th century England, but without the confusion a lot of other historical novels often bring. Another thing that sets this story apart is that Colin, the hero, is bi-racial, something rarely seen in many stories, especially historics. The great thing about this author’s writing is that she looks at the societal barriers of class, race, and image, which are issues that we still have today, and is able to write a story with depth, as well as one with love, comedy and drama. This ability to deliver so much, with so little words, is brilliant.
  The chemistry between the characters is another thing of beauty, with enough sexual tension, angst and common ground to bring about a truly genuine relationship in a relatively short amount of time. Thus, the love scenes are pretty erotic, but not gratuitously so.
  All in all this is a brilliant short story, and holds true to me for all but one scene near the end, where I feel some loose ends are too easily tied up. But I’ll leave you to decide for yourself!
(4 stars)
