I'm a sucker for a fun hot romance, especially one with a touch of the paranormal.

I didnt love this book, but I didnt hate it. It just didnt grab me. There were a couple things that I liked, though. Ethan, the vampire, never was anything but a vampire. Hes not softened, not made into a perfect romantic hero. He drinks human blood, kills, lies to Kerry left and right, but Kerry still falls in love with him. Of course, she is a teenager and he does know how to manipulate her, but he truly cares about her, too. He just never loses his vampireness if that makes sense.

I have to start by saying I was prepared to fully enjoy this book. I love spaghetti, and with a title like I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti, this was on my must-read list. I wasnt disappointed. It turned out to be a fun, quick read. Guilia has had a series of disappointing relationships, all men I would consider losers, but manages to make it funny.
I love the way she places the recipes inside the narrative, at the point she served them to her love at the time or to her lonely self. Some of the recipes sound delicious, and fairly easy, which is perfect for me. Other have hilarious names that give you a taste of Giulias sense of humour.
After a while, Giulias constant talk about wanting to get married and the fact that she always seems more invested in the relationships than the men started to get a little stale for me. I wanted to yell at her to get a grip, but then she pops up with a funny recipe and I have to laugh and forgive her.

I read this book for a lit class in college and found it really interesting.

Even after finishing this book, Im not sure how I feel about it. The concept was great and I was engrossed, but there was something off for me. Maybe its because in the first paragraph, Towner, the narrator, tells us shes a liar and not to believe what she says, which made me not trust her, obviously. That made me nervous, for lack of a better word, throughout the book and I ended up reading the ending while I was still in the middle of the book. So, I ruined the suprise ending for myself, but I could see the clues that led up to it throughout the rest of the book.

First of all, the current murder plays very little in the story. It really functions to being the whole family back together in Unity, the Sparrows hometown, which was fine with me, but if a reader were looking for a good conclusion to that side plot, it isnt here.
Each of the women has a gift or curse, depending on how you look at it. Stella, as we learn early, can see peoples deaths. She deals with it surprisingly well, actually, and she more than either of the other women, makes good use of her gift.
I loved this book. Jenny and Elinor have been estranged for years. Jenny has managed to drive a wedge between herself and Stella, despite how much she didnt want to.Through the book, though, all three of them grow, learn to see the world and each other in different ways. They also learn about love, both for family and for the men in their lives.
Also, this is a spring book, beginning in March and ending in May. It is full of new beginnings, finding true love, and some losses, too. I have to admit that I needed a few tissues toward the end, just a warning.

The story begins Nov 3, 1827 and ends with a Christmas wedding, which just makes me smile. Its a fairly predictable romance, which I say in a positive way. I like standard romances.

This is the first in the Anna Pigeon series. I especially loved the vivid West Texas setting.

In this romantic suspense novel, Solomon grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me from Tennessee to Florida to New York, never letting go. The story never pauses, never takes a break from the tension.
