Elena loves being on top.
When the elite gymnast is challenged to defeat her
gym rival on the pommel horse, she’s up for the task. But is she up for the
ride when the pommel horse shapeshifts into a man?
A very, very, naked man?
For an inanimate object erotica book this one wasn’t
bad at all. Had a good plot and an interesting inanimate object. Love the
writing style Sabrina Cross has and makes it worth reading.

Kelly Bishop’s long, storied career has been defined
by landmark achievements, from winning a Tony Award for her turn in the
original Broadway cast of A Chorus Line to her memorable performance as
Jennifer Grey’s mother in Dirty Dancing. But it is probably her iconic role as
matriarch Emily in the modern classic Gilmore Girls that cemented her legacy.
Now, Bishop reflects on her remarkable life and
looks towards the future with The Third Gilmore Girl. She shares some of her
greatest stories and the life lessons she’s learned on her journey. From her
early transition from dance to drama, to marrying young to a compulsive
gambler, to the losses and achievements she experienced—among them marching for
women’s rights and losing her second husband to cancer—Bishop offers a rich,
genuine celebration of her life.
Full of witty insights and featuring a special
collection of personal and professional photographs, The Third Gilmore Girl is
a warm, unapologetic, and spirited memoir from a woman who has left indelible
impressions on her audiences for decades and has no plans on slowing down.
Here’s a shocking nonfiction book review. I loved this book. It was interesting to see how Kelly Bishop came up in entertainment industry. I loved her in Dirty Dancing and Gilmore Girls which is why I read it. I blew through this autobiography in a couple hours and loved every minute of it. Seeing how she's lived her life and the struggles she's had to get where she is was interesting to read.

It was a stupid wish. One that’s come to haunt my
doorstep fourteen years later.
When I made a pact with my best friend to marry each
other if we were both still single at thirty, I had no idea it would be
magically bound… by me.
Time and circumstance have separated us, and we’re
no longer the naïve teenagers we once were. I’m thriving with my coven and
Silas is the newly appointed Alpha of the local shifter pack.
Which is why this marriage will never work.
The Celestial Coven and the Moon Walker Pack have
had an ongoing feud that spans generations. My former best friend has now
become my sworn enemy. Unfortunately, my magic hasn’t gotten that memo and my
nemesis/husband is now living under my roof and walking around my house topless
in gray sweatpants.
I don’t want him. I shouldn’t want him. But why do I
find myself stalling at figuring out a counter curse?
The characters in this book irritated me so much
which is the majority of the story. They are just so ridiculous about who abandoned
whom. The fight just got real old real quick. Then all the stuff about
forgetting and I just didn’t enjoy this book as much as I wanted to.

Death once claimed me, stole the air from my lungs
as I burned alive…only I didn’t stay dead.
Instead I was returned to my past, and back to a
living hell.
The Academy.
Where those who I believed were friends were
actually foes. My enemies thought they could break me, but I proved them wrong.
Two months ago I was given a second chance…A second
life.
With it I now wanted answers…and revenge.
But something went wrong.
Chaos is happening all around me. Moments in time
that never happened before; new people, strange marks, mutated monsters, and a
power growing inside me that I have yet to fully understand.
I’ve caused events to alter with my presence…so it’s
time I followed suit.
With the bond’s I’ve created in this new life I’ll
find the answers I want and reclaim what’s mine.
Where the first one was amazing this one dragged out
the story and only really got amazing in the last couple of chapters. There are
too many questions still unanswered. Too many loose ends not resolved in anyway.
It felt like a bridge book but we are too soon for a bridge book. Still
interested enough to be waiting for book 3 but if I hadn’t started the series I
would hold off to see if the next one is better.

After suffering a horrific injury that threatens to
end his career, Baden Oulett is about to learn that sometimes a fresh start is
just what the doctor ordered.
I worked my whole life to achieve one goal—play professional hockey. As part of
the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one
split second decision destroyed it all. Instead of lacing up my skates and
hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I
could walk again. When a coaching opportunity with the Pittsburgh Titans is
presented to me, I find myself with a career I had never considered but which
allows me to continue being part of the sport that I love.
While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued.
Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the
world in fear and guilt. I didn’t know Sophie before that fateful night and
have only met her once since, but I refuse to let her face her demons alone.
Determined to be a friend, I support Sophie in the only way I know how… by
simply being there.
Through our shared trauma, Sophie and I begin to find peace within one another.
As we grow closer, what started as friendship becomes more intimate until our
broken pieces become one. But can a love born of anguish endure, or will the
pain of our past prove too much to overcome?
This might be because I wasn’t in the mood for this
book when I read it because I normally love Bennett’s books but this one was
just a meh read for me. I struggled to get through it.
Book 1 Pittsburgh Titans

I always thought I’d die crushed under the weight of
my TBR pile, but my death was a plot twist I didn’t see coming.
Save your sympathy! Now that I’m dead, I’m living my
best freaking life. I’m free to read books for hours on end without worrying
about food, rent, or, well, any other interruptions.
It looks like I might finally be able to get through
my TBR list… maybe.
The only one who can see me in my ghostly form is
Wasabi, an adorable rat that lives in the library archives. That changed when a
not-quite-human guy showed up in town and caught me admiring his gorgeous
body—er, I mean, smile. If it was possible to die twice, I’d have done it on
the spot from sheer embarrassment. I was drawn to him like a moth to an ugly
Christmas sweater, but I fought the pull. My TBR list was calling, and men were
a distraction I didn’t need or want. Books before boyfriends, am I right?
But it turned out the man wasn’t traveling alone. He
was part of a three-man team that investigated strange ghostly occurrences, and
they’d come to Amberwood to figure out why lost souls were gathering here. They
are determined to convince me there is more to life than books and show me the
joys of being shared by three adoring partners.
Resisting one irresistibly sexy man was hard enough,
but three? And that was before a purple-eyed reaper appeared in town, and I
started making bets I couldn’t win. I was fighting a losing battle by
continuing to deny what my heart was telling me… and that was before I got a
lap dance from death.
I can’t deny I’m addicted to their touch. Still, I
prefer to keep my drama inside the pages of a book. But that becomes impossible
when I realize lives are in danger… including those of the men I’ve started to
think of as mine. I’m still haunted by my death, but maybe it’s time to face
the truth and stop being such a good ghoul. They say you only live once, so I
guess it’s time to find out if you only die once as well. Is YODO a thing?
My TBRs aren’t going to read themselves, and these
men are becoming a distraction I don't need. Although, maybe I could take a
quick break after I finish one more chapter....
I LOVED this book. I loved the characters and the
development in the story. There is one scene with the grim reaper that was
amazing. Would love to see more books in this world. Also who doesn’t have a
massive TBR you want for ever to read.

A woman in danger…
A lost baby…
A long journey home…
Peggy is nothing special. As the night janitor at
Westbridge High, she just wants to finish cleaning so she can hurry home and
work on her art. For Peggy, nothing makes her feel more alive than when she’s
standing in front of a canvas. Then one night, everything changes…
A woman in trouble runs up to Peggy and gives her a
child. She begs Peggy to take the child to Fablestone where the baby will be
safe. From what? Peggy doesn’t know. All she knows is that the two agents who
show up on her doorstep the next day aren’t with the FBI, and she’d bet
anything they’re scientists who want to get their hands on dragon’s blood.
That’s not going to happen.
Not on Peggy’s watch.
Peggy doesn’t have a choice. She has to get the baby
to the Fablestone clan before the full moon ends. She has to reach Fablestone
before it’s too late.
The fate of the clan is resting on Peggy, and she
swore a dragon's oath to return the child to its rightful home.
She'll do whatever it takes, even if it costs her
everything.
I enjoyed the overarching aspect of this book but
wanted it to be fleshed out more. It needed more world building and character
development. It was an interesting read. I liked Peggy and how much she worked
to get the kiddo home to her family. I also liked she didn’t take any crap from
Cameron when he found her with his niece Daisy. The biggest issue with it was
it wasn’t long enough so it was as well developed as it could have been. Still
liked it enough to read the next one.
