Don't Look Down - Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer

Synopsis:

Don't Look Down is a marriage of romance and action story, written by two experts in the genres. Jenny Crusie writes Lucy Armstrong, a film director with family problems--why is her sister so depressed, her niece so unhappy, and her ex-husband so intent on getting her back--and career problems--why is the star so determined to do his own stunts, the ingenue so determined to seduce the stunt double, and that Green Beret stunt double so damn attractive? Bob Mayer writers J. T. Wilder, a Green Beret who has his own troubles including the goofball actor he's doubling for, the stunt coordinator who's gunning for him (literally), and the director who looks like Wonder Woman and keeps distracting him from his mission. And that's before the CIA, the Russian mob, and the one-eyed alligator show up.

I had read the second book by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer called Agnes and the Hitman and was completely enamored with it and have been searching high and low for this book ever since and the other day while in my favorite place in the world (Books-a-Million) I found it and grabbed it because it was the last one!

I was very pleased with this book...it had humor and yes Wonder Woman...suffering sappho!! OMG give me a man like Captain J.T. Wilder anyday and I would be happy!! Also Lucy is strong and willing to do what she has to in order to protect her family and her friends.  The only thing I'm disappointed in was the ending it felt a little abrupt I guess I was wanting a little more but the scene out in the woods more than made up for it, LOL!! I mean how often in a book do you read about women dressing up in Wonder Woman WonderWear...totally hilarious!! I cannot wait to read their newest book Wild Ride but right now it is only in hard back so I will have to wait until it comes out in paperback or who knows I might get crazy and purchase the hard back version!!

Rating: ***** (5 yeah I said the scene in the woods made up for my small disappointment geeze)

You wanna read J.T. and Lucy's story just go here --->Don't Look Down and you can do that!!

Nobody's Darling - Teresa Medeiros

                                  

What Amazon says about this book:

Spinster Esmerelda Fine is intent on arresting Billy Darling, the man she believes killed her little brother. When the police can't get the job done, she leaves her home in Boston and travels to Calamity, New Mexico, where she confronts Billy in the Tumbleweed Saloon. When the town sheriff refuses to arrest Billy, Esmerelda takes matters into her own hands and aims her pistol right at him. Unfortunately, she faints at the precise moment she pulls the trigger. When she awakens in a jail cell and finds Billy leaning against the wall outside the bars, Esmerelda is incensed. But she quickly calms down when he tells her that her brother is alive. Esmerelda doesn't trust the handsome youngest brother of the infamous Darling gang, but Billy convinces her to hire him to find her beloved brother. Billy gets more than he bargained for in Esmerelda, for the prim and proper lady has him aching with desire. Meanwhile, Esmeralda struggles to maintain a suitable distance from the charming Billy and is dismayed to find that she is losing her heart to the outlaw. Full of lovable characters, outlandish instances, and Medeiros's trademark humor, Nobody's Darling is a delight to read. --Lois Faye Dyer

I read this book a couple of weeks ago and I decided to do a review of it since I started this blog to talk about books and things.

I just want to personally thank Teresa Medeiros for creating one of the sexiest heroes I've read in awhile!! I mean as you probably already know I'm a bit partial to the cowboy hero but this one was just sexiness on toast with butter....hahahahahaha!!!

I love the chemistry between William Darling and Esmerelda Fine...it is literally sparking off of the pages!! I knew after reading this book it would be one of those books that I pull out when I want to read a great story!!

OH I also found a very sexy fan made tribute video to this book and I hope you like it too!!

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Here is what Amazon says about the book:

Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. And that's the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.
Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

Well I really wanted to see this movie but I decided to read the book first and see what I thought about it and I must say I was hooked from the very beginning. I do admit that I was a little worried that it would try to be like Harry Potter but I love both of these books individually. I am soo excited to read the rest of the series and I also cannot wait to see the movie.
 
The characters are wonderful and genuine. What surprised me most was the humor in the books. I honestly and truly was not expecting to be laughing out loud throughout the book but Percy's take the world and the situations he finds himself in is just to funny.

This book is perfect for the younger crowd. Now there are monsters mentioned and everything but it isn't too extreme I don't think.  So now I'm off to read the second book in the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters and will have a review of that later!!
