“Deeply, Desperately”, “Think Twice” and “Lover Mine”

Just a quick review of what I read this week:

“Deeply, Desperately” the second book of Lucy Valentine series by Heather Webber. Remember the Valentine family with their gift from cupid to see auras and find every ones perfect match? Lucy has been busy working on her own branch of family business: the lost loves. With new clients and helping police with missing persons cases having Sean by her side has been nice but now… well, she is receiving threatening letters, also Sean’s ex wants him back and also Lucy is busy helping her friends.

A lot going on in this story for such a small book and the short timeline in the story. But the funny happenings and little character quirks make up for the busy plot.

“Think Twice” by Lisa Scottoline is a thriller. Bennie from that all women law firm in Philly is in trouble. Alice, her evil twin sister; wants to kill her and takes her place. And she gets to bury Bennie alive…

The plot is not complicated or engaging. The book reads more like an action movie, a little “Kill bill II” maybe!

“Lover Mine” The Black Dagger Brotherhood, book 8 by J. R. Ward. In this book, John is looking for Xhex and when he finds her, they both take revenge on her abductor. And yes, admit their love for each other and happily ever after…blah blah blah…

I have complained here enough times, I hate this series. I abhor the artificial language; I dislike the faux characters and that false toughness. But I can’t stop myself from following this series. It’s like when your tooth hurts and you poke at it to see how bad it can get! Just one of those self-destructive habits which are hard to break! Ugh!
