'Do I call you Eleanor? Or do you prefer Nora?'I answer to both so you decide, What does he call me?''Eleanor'

I loved her confession to Father Ballard

'You're fun, I like you''No flirting, wicked girl, I know your type''I can't help it, I spread for Roman collars'

All of their interaction are pretty much  like this. Fun, flirtatious and wicked.
She's a favorite character of mine, she just a lot of fun, you want to get into trouble with her.

'I met Eleanor''Lovely name. I hope she's beautiful enough to warrant ruining your life over''She is'

Søren confession to Father Ballard is hilarious, the bantering between the two says a lot about their relationship.

'She's pursuing you''Like the proverbial hound of hell'

This explains so much about Eleanor. My favorite Eleanor moment is when she snuck into his office and masturbated on his desk.  Tenacious and she has balls of steel.

"You will love Søren. He's my No1 BBF! But don't fall him because he's Mine, oh and he's a priest."

How could she further entice me besides if she put melted chocolate on him and told me to lick him?

Really didn't do anything for me.

I chose this book purely because a few things grabbed me. 
Cat and mouse, deadly assassin, seeking vengeance which leads into the arms of Alex King who will become a pawn in her game of revenge.

So when you read this you have certain expectations.  
Unfortunately this fell very short of those expectations. 


There was no excitement I should have been jumping out of my chair reading this book.  It should have dived deeper into the deadly assassin aspect.

The one thing I did like was Alex and Ellie. They flirt, they fuck, they familiarize themselves with each other's body and they fall hard.

To me this is the best part of the book and it was done well, however I felt it concentrated too much on their sex life then anything else. 


A good portion of the book focused on that, not saying that's a bad thing but you have a girl who trained to be an assassin that alone could have made this book great.

 

 

Diners to me represent homely, small town and comfort so if you're after a sweet old fashioned love story while you snuggle on the couch this is for you.

Tanner has had a huge crush on Steve since he was a teen.   
When he discovers Steve likes him back he is very surprised not quite understanding why as he doesn't think he's all that but Steve reassured him that he is.

This is an older man, younger man situation and they are adorable in their admiration for each other it's very sweet and endearing.

I don't even know how to even begin to write how I feel about Soulless.
I wanted to savoir it make it last as long as possible, soak in every word on every page. I took my time reading this because I didn't want it to end. 

I have been on this roller coaster ride since I was introduced to King and it's a ride I knew had to eventually stop but I wanted it to end well.

As the series has continued it has only gone from strength to strength. Just when you think no way it's not going to get any better, Miss Frazier proves you very wrong.

You're going to feel all the feels in this story, no stone has been left un turned.

It starts with a skull ring. . . .

Thia fell in love with what this ring represented to her, gave her a purpose, strength, love and make her feel special.

This ring was given to me by the biggest and strongest man in the whole wide world.

'He could've given it to anyone he wanted, and he chose me. It means that we're linked...FOREVER'

Bear finally has found his purpose in life, Ti.

MINE is all he needs to say.
Those two words FOREVER and MINE  perfectly sums up their story.

I was his forever, he was mine.

No other words are needed if you loved Lawless you will flove this even more.

A Virtual Affair is probably the most difficult book I've ever had to review. At first, I wasn't even sure I would finish it, but I'm certainly glad I did. In the end, it was worth pushing just a little more until the story picked up.

We start at a very confusing place - a woman (Jayne) looking out at the waves crashing along the shore. She sounds pensive and a little deflated, but we really don't know why. Immediately after, we are thrown into a coffee shop where we learn that Jayne is married to a coward of a man. A cheater. A man who treats her worse than garbage. Her best friend, Carla, convinces her to go on holiday, but before that happens, we muddle through her low self-esteem and debate about whether or not the marriage should continue for a little while.

On holiday, Jayne meets Stefan. The low self-esteem is certainly present in this situation, and though her husband has been cheating for years, Jayne feels guilty for her attraction to Stefan. But, despite her reservations, they begin an email friendship that, over time, begins to turn into something more. At this point, life begins to unravel for Jayne. Literally. And it is about here that the story starts to pick up, where the author starts to seem more comfortable with her story and the way she's telling it.

There are some highs. Some sexy moments. And a lot of real, real lows from that point on. I found myself wondering if things would ever be okay for Jayne and then, just when I think they might be, the rug is pulled out from under her. The journey to healing is long and slow (as it always is), and Jayne ends up writing about everything and turning it into a book. But all of it is still missing something very important, and there are parts that will never be the same again.....How does it all end? You'll have to read it yourself to find out!

About my rating:

I could tell how personal this book really was for Tracie Podger, and there are parts that definitely reflect that. Yet there are others that felt....a little excessive. Like, there were literally entire chapters that I just kind of skimmed over because, even if there were snippets of important details, some of the story seemed to run in a loop - sometimes because the same concept was repeated, and other times because I had already deduced what the author wrote on my own. So, essentially, just a lot of over-explaining.

That said, I have to give the author serious props for tackling some really big, deep issues. Infidelity, emotional abuse, death of a loved one, depression....these are not easy topics to write about, and it takes a lot of courage to do so. At times, I felt like maybe the author had distanced herself from those topics (possibly because it really is hard to actually live through some of those emotions as you write about them), but there were a lot of sections that I, myself, wanted to just curl up in a ball and cry over. They just felt that raw, that real.

All in all, I decided to give A Virtual Affiar three heels because it really just fell right in the middle for me, and Tracie Podger is still an author that I would be willing to give another try. If you'd like to check it out and read it yourself, you can pick it up here:
