Series: Harry Potter Series
Star rating out of 5: 5 stars
Okay, I know I know, I am over ten year too late in reading these books. However I absolutely love the movies and had to read the books.
This review is going to be a lot different due to the movies already out and finished and same with this book series.
I was amazed by how much they combined in the movies. The scenes that are over ten pages in the book were fitted into just ten minutes onto a movie screen. Yes, I know this is two make sure the film does not go to over 5 hours in length and so on. What I love about the book was the detail. Especially the beginning of the book where we are introduced to Harry's uncle prior to actually knowing anything about Harry. Then just the little detail the were changed in the movie. The book answer so many little questions that I never realized were actually missing during the film.
I am so glad that I read the book because it has so much more information and trouble they get into in the books. I highly recommend reading this book. I will let you know in my next review how the series progess in the books.
Happy reading!

Book Review Into the Dreaming
Author: Karen Marie Moning
Series: The highlander series and Fever Series
Star Rating out of 5: 4 stars
I read this book actually a couple years ago when I borrowed it from a friend when I first started reading both of these series. I thought the story was short and sweet. It was interesting for sure.
In this book I love reading the special out takes after the writer took a book into a different direction.
It is a nice transition book from the highlander series(which I completely love and adore compared to her fever series. Sorry Barrons.) to the fever series.
I recommend reading this and her previous books as well.
Happy reading!

Nauti Temptress Book Review
Author: Lora Leigh
Star Rating out of 5: 5 stars
This is a wonderful spin off to the Nauti Boi series. It has all the elements that we come to know and love with Rowdy, Dawg and Natches.
I love the humor and the romance of these books. Not to mention of the danger element mixed in. Both of the main characters in this book are well developed but leaves you wanting to dig even more into their lives. Not to mention I would love to get to know Brody on a more personal level! YUMMY! Eve is a great match for him. she is strong willed, has a mind of her own but also has a strong family bond. Something Brody needs in his life to keep him in line.
I highly recommend this book especially if you are a fan of the Nauti Boi series. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait for the next book!

Going for It by Liz Matis book review
Author: Liz Matis
Series: "Fantasy" Football Series 2
Star Rating out of 5: 3 stars
Let first of by saying this more I feel of a novella rather than a book. The story is short and picks up where "Playing for Keeps" ended. However, even though this is a short book it was too the point without being overly drawn out.
The story of Hannah and Ryan also like the previous book felt relate-able other than the professions. The insecurities not wanting your heart to fall for someone who can break it. Especially since both of these characters have a very rough past. through this book we learn more about them and as we do we watch them transform and begin to learn how to do stuff they never though they would ever do. Not to mention I love the ending to this story.
Please read these books in sequence in order to get to know the characters and their stories. They are very enjoyable.
Happy Reading!!

Playing For Keeps by Liz Matis Book Review
Title: Playing for Keeps
Series: "Fantasy" Football Season 1
Author: Liz Matis
Star Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
When I read this book I felt that anyone could have lived it. Yes it's not very common to know and grow up with a famous model friend or a famous football player but it has happened to people who are not me. The book is short but complete. It's nice because it's not a series and the story can be completed. There is really no wondering what will happen next. Which is a nice break from all the other series I read that have over ten books in a series.
In this book You meet Samantha and Ryan who have known each other since their teen years. In this book they rekindle their friendship and then some. I liked Ryan a lot. He has such a great personality and I wish I could meet a guy like him. He is very witty and when he wants something he doesn't stop till he gets it. Of course being a guy he always has to question his thoughts and how he feels and that's typical. Any other way and he would be a male. Samantha is very closed off but not as much as her friend Hannah. She goes through a traumatic experience and doesn't really deal well. She just wants to fit in with one of the guys and make a name for herself and will do anything to achieve her goal.
I recommend this book. If you want to read a book that is a nice and simple read this is that book.
Happy Reading!
