Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins

Just One of the Guys
by Kristan Higgins
Audio Version
 

I have read this one and now listened to it.
All I can say is it is wonderful either way.
 
Chastity O'Neill is 5 foot 11 3/4 of solid
strong sweet determined capable woman.
She is the fifth child after four brothers.
And she has always been one of the guys.
 
Men really cant handle such a woman. There
is one man that she wishes could. Trevor has
always been one of the family. Thought of as
another one of the sons. Long ago, Trevor and
Chastity had a moment. A moment of magic.
 
While Trevor loves her, he keeps it secret. From
everyone. He is afraid he could lose his whole
support system. His whole "family". Trevor was
never certain how Chastity felt. That's why he
has always left it hidden way in the past.

Chastity has always done the same. Afraid she 
could lose Trevor all together.
Maybe even break up the whole
family.
Its too scary to take the chance.
 
"My heart is blank, too. It can only take so much,
I surmise. Maybe its used to being in this state of
brokenness, of incompleteness. Who knows?
Hey, you did all you could, my heart whispers.
Thanks for trying."
 
Oh how wonderful it would be. They both think
it. But can either of them take the leap?
Take a big chance and just go for it?
Anybody? Anybody??
 
 

Kristan Higgins is married to a hero firefighter
in real life. I think this gives her a bit of an
advantage writing romance about them.
That is one way to explain how wonderful
her stories are. She never fails to make
me smile, cry a little and sigh....
 
Xe Sands in the narrator for the story.
She does a wonderful job. I really
enjoyed listening to her.

Magnificent Seven - Movie Review

Magnificent Seven
Movie Review
 

Ok, I know, there is zero romance in this one.
And it is not your typical womans movie.
But I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was funny, scary,
fast moving, emotional.....It was much like a
romantic movie, well, without the romance.
 
 
But it still had all the other great stuff in a
fabulous story. Including an amazing cast.
And lots of ''heroes". They came to save
the day. Then ride off into the sunset.
 
 
If you are looking for a movie to go see
with your sweetheart, surprise him and
choose this one. You will be glad you did.

Sweet Little Lies by Jill Shalvis - Audio version

Sweet Little Lies
By Jill Shalvis
Audio Version
 

Sweet Little Lies is a deep emotional story.
What is that old saying....
No good deed goes unpunished.
 
Pru is learning this all too well.
Finn is the latest one to prove it to her.
He isn't at all happy about it.
 

Even her dog, Thor, likes him. And Thor
hates men. So Finn must be a good guy.
All Pru wants for him is to know that
he is happy. That he finds true love and
a good life.
What Pru doesn't know is that all her worry
for him is unnecessary. His life has been
a good one. Better even because of the
particular event that has worried her.
 
 
Jill Shalvis has started another series fantastically.
Sweet Little Lies is the perfect title for this book. 
The characters are great. I cant wait to read more
stories from this group of friends and the others
from the town. Jill Shalvis never fails. Her stories
are always funny, real life and heartwarming.
Karen White does the narration. She has done 
many of the Shalvis stories and always does a 
great job. She is easy to listen to.
