  • The Simple Wild Book

    Book: The Simple Wild

    Author: K.A. Tucker

    By: Cece Hymes

    Got a chance to read this book. This was definitely a page turner. I enjoyed it and can’t wait to read the next one, it is a series. The Simple Wild is a powerful love story, and it had its funny parts. It was about a girl named Calla who is from Alaska. Her mom moved her from there to Toronto when she was 2. She would talk to her dad on the phone a lot but never see him. After her 8th grade graduation her dad disappointed her again and didn’t show up, so she decided to distance herself and her dad did also.

    Calla is 26 now and still lives with her mom and stepdad. She gets  this estranged call that her father is dying of lung cancer. She had mixed feelings about going there to see him because she barely knew him and also he wasn’t the one to call. She flies back to Alaska to see how her father is and to get to know him. Calla and the pilot seem to not get along. It seems he thinks she is an uptight kind of girl.

    Calla and the pilot have to spend more time together since it’s a small town and he is the neighbor. In the process of staying there she learns more about the town and her father. Toronto where she lives is so much different than Alaska. It takes time to get used to it but she sees new things every day she is there.

    The more time she spends with the pilot the more they seem to bring the best out of each other. However, this is a story about transformation, both personal and intellectual. I like that Jonah (the pilot) put his guard down for Calla. I also liked that Calla was time enough for Jonah. It’s like they are the complete opposite, but their chemistry is scorching. It’s always two sides of the story. I am glad that Calla went to Alaska to see what her dad is like before it’s too late.

    The way the story is told made me feel like I could picture everything, the scenery and how things look. I also love a good love story. I love it when you can talk trash to each other and still smile and have fun with it. If you haven’t read it, I would recommend it.

    I loved this book and again can’t wait to read the series. If you read, let me know your thoughts.

    Interview with Fuller French

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell everyone more about who Fuller French is?

    A. Fuller French is a lover of life, somebody who believes there is romance in everything good in the world… and sometimes just a guy from West Texas who plays the piano. I am passionate about everything I undertake; I enjoy creating, learning, living and loving. As a musician, the best thing for me is creating new music that contains plenty of love and romance that hopefully will be heard by many people throughout the world. I’m interested in creating things of substance and beauty. When I was younger, I wanted to create rough, rock and roll bits of music but now I have settled into my own style which is beautiful and dreamy.

    Q. What inspired you to become a singer/songwriter?

    A. I felt a volcano of creativity and ideas that I wanted to share things I wanted to say with the piano. I had an outlet to write lyrics and music and do just that. I took piano lessons from first grade to seventh grade but after that never formally studied again. When I went to boarding school, piano was an escape for me. In college I really went full throttle creating songs, and I began the tune that eventually became my first hit Brazilian Sunrise. The rest is history.

    Q. What do you consider as one of your best life experiences or accomplishments?

    A. I’m a work in progress and that event is yet to come. That said, raising my three children has been the best life experiences anyone could ever imagine: there is nothing that compares to raising them and watching them grow up. There is a love there that is beyond anything else in the world.

  • The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

    Book: The Worst Best Man

    Author: Mia Sosa

    I love a good Romance book. This book was good. It was about a Lady that goes by Lina and a guy named Max. Lina was engaged to be married to Max’s brother Andrew and things didn’t work out. She was a wedding planner and was going after this job. Come to find out she would have to work with Max. She was being rude at first thinking of the past but working together she learned a lot about Max. He pushed her in so many ways and also got her to open up and get things off her chest.

    It was like so many wrongs to be with your ex-fiancé brother but so many rights when it came to a good man, a man that’s worth keeping, a man that makes you feel things you don’t want to feel. They both want one thing but are scared in so many ways. They are always looking to please everyone else before they please themselves.

    The book was flirty, steamy, funny and shows you to be yourself.  I love great reads and can’t wait to read another book by this author. I also like romances that always start off rough but end well. It’s always the ones you don’t want to be attractive too but the ones that are there for you.

    Tell me your thoughts and if you could date a family member ex if that person was all you need to make you happy.
