Review: The Soldier

The Soldier by Mark Alders

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I´m glad I´m the type of reader that can´t leave a story unfinished.
After struggling with [b:The Nourisher|10300132|The Nourisher (Borders of Worlds Saga, #1)|Mark Alders|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1295818476s/10300132.jpg|15202098]I´m happy I gave [a:Mark Alders|3050099|Mark Alders|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1336261828p2/3050099.jpg]another chance.
The Soldier was so much better.
Fast, way too fast and with so much going on.
I am not going to pretend I can remember every race´s name or every character, tho Brake and Sern made an impression, I can just say that by reading the Saga you will let your imagination go wild.
It´s amazing how as a reader I get to forget Vernon is a huge 8 legged spider when he is with Drake. I mean, the intimacy these two share, I can´t get my head around it.
I´m also glad I have The Incubator ready on my kindle, because the ending of The Soldier left so many questions open, I was not going to be able to way too long to read the third book in the Saga.
Thank you Mark, for sharing The Nourisher with me back in March, I was missing out on some great sci fy.

Review: One Small Thing

One Small Thing by Piper Vaughn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Such a happy book!
Rue, a flamboyant bartender and hairdresser wannabe, has a one night stand with a girl to confirm he is gay. According to his best friend Dusty there was no doubt but...
The girl turns up 3 months later pregnant with his baby.
What Rue was not expecting was to fall head over heels in love with a girl, his daughter Alice.
But between work and school he can't always look after her baby girl.
Erik, his neighbour, is a very shy, nerd, Star Wars fan and struggling writer.
Who is willing to get over his issues with people and babies an look after Alice while her Daddy is out and about.
What Erik was not expecting was to fall in love with the little girl and her Dad.
I love the story, they way Rue and Dusty help Erik come out of his bubble and show him that he doesn't have to be so lonely any more. That there are people that love him.
This book is about family, not in a traditional sense. One that is there when you need them, one that will stand by you and support you no matter what.
Alice, I think, is the luckiest baby ever.
I love books with children, that show the way two dads struggle to make it work.
One small Thing is about finding love when you were not expecting it. Is about finding family with the most random people in life. Is also about finding your place in the world and take chances.

Review: Fortune Hunter

Fortune Hunter by Ava March

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I am in absolute awe with Ava March's Brook Street trilogy.
Back in London, two gentlemen with different background.
Julian, just back from America in search of a rich wife to save him.
Oscar has everything money can but, but is still looking for someone to care for him for who he is and not his fortune.
Julian ends up as Oscar's guest finding monetary support, a new status in the society and of course love.
But he is so bind and set on his goal that makes the biggest mistake of his life, letting down the only one who really cared about him.
It takes Julian two years to be worthy of Oscar's love and he does his best to be that man.
I love the characters, the setting, the society bits we get to see.
The intimacy, I can't even.
I'm in love with these stories.
