The Lost Valentine by James Michael Pratt

The Lost Valentine
by James Michael Pratt

Published: 2010
Publisher: St. Martin's Paperbacks
TV Movie Tie-In Edition
Genre: Romance
Paperback: 320 pages
Rating: 4

Description from the amazon:
News reporter Susan Allison is looking for the perfect story about true love, though she doubts where such a thing really exists.

Neil Thomas, Jr. wants the world to know about his parents’ bittersweet love story: On February 14, 1944, Caroline Thomas said good-bye to her beloved husband, a Navy pilot sent to the Pacific.

For fifty years, she waited for him—until a miracle happened, and she received his lost valentine…

In the present day, when Susan and Neil meet, can the story of Neil’s parents bring them together in a love as powerful as she dreams of and he remembers?

Romantic quote:
Because love means more, grows deeper, if you can overcome the thorns.
- page 112, chapter 8, Raven Leader


My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): rose
A couple sentimental romances are portrayed in this book.

Also, a look into WWII action in the Philippines.

And, good syrupy moments included ;-D

Lord Alfred Tennyson's quote sums it up well...

"Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."


I do plan on watching the movie version of this.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): reflections
Enjoyable read about the ups and downs of a likable, brainy YA.

The character development and interaction is what makes this book a gem. I loved how family and friends came together for support.

Genre: Romance
Paperback: 354 pages
Rating: 3

Demon High by Lori Devoti

Demon High
by Lori Devoti

Published: 2011
ebook
Rating: 5

Description from the amazon:
Lucinda Dent never planned to call demons. She wasn’t stupid, after all. She’d seen what the addiction had done to her mother. But her mother has been gone for ten years, sucked into hell by a demon, and all Lucinda has left is her grandmother and the house she grew up in. Who could blame her for using the only thing her mother gave her, a talent for demon calling, to save them?

Lucinda teams up with an old friend and together they set up business, calling demons. But soon things go terribly wrong.

Demons are loose in Caldera High, and not only is Lucinda responsible, she just might be in love with one of them. Can love conquer all or is Lucinda about to lose everything--her home, her new love, and her soul?

Authors Note: This novel is dark urban fantasy with romantic elements. It contains both swear words and sexual situations. It is not squeaky clean.

Amusing quote:
With no other plan, Brittany convinced me doing some research was a better bet than charging into the school, holy water boiling and crucifixes blazing.
- location 1404, chapter 8


My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): entwined

I liked this dark demon tale. It was a good intro to a world of demons as I didn't really know any lore about them before.

The character growth was interesting to watch and I would be love to read a sequel or series to see how she develops.

The Karma Club by Jessica Brody

The Karma Club
by Jessica Brody

Published: 2010
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
Paperback release date: May 24, 2011
Genre: Coming of Age, Romance, YA
Hardback: 272 pages
Rating: 5

Description from amazon.com:
Madison Kasparkova always thought she understood how Karma works. Do good things and you'll be rewarded, do something bad and Karma will make sure you get what you deserve.

But when Maddy’s boyfriend cheats on her, nothing bad comes his way. That’s why Maddy starts the Karma Club, to clean up the messes that the universe has left behind. Sometimes, though, it isn’t wise to meddle with the universe. It turns out Karma often has plans of its own.

Amusing chapter title:
The Legend of the Great Granny Panty Bandit
- page 111


My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): butterfly

Loved it. Along with the fun moments, I liked how this book got me thinking of the power of choice in life situations. The book ends with an overall good message.

Heart's Sentinel
by PJ Schnyder

Published: January 2011
Publisher: Decadent Publishing Company, LLC
Genre: Paranormal, Romance
Paperback: 200 pages
Rating: 4

Description from the amazon:
Born human, Mackenzie never wanted to be a shapeshifter. After a shifter stalks and brutally Changes her, she runs to the jaguars of River Gap pride for protection from the stalker still searching for her, to come to terms with the attack and learn to control her new, powerful cougar body.

Adam, a River Gap Sentinel, is assigned as her guard and mentor. Well aware of his strength and how new she is the shapeshifter world, he holds himself back from the flames of primal desire she ignites. But, to survive the stalker, they both need to first battle their pasts and learn what it truly means to be the sentinels of each other’s hearts.

Read the excerpt.

Amusing quote:
He paused and gave her an insufferable grin. He even had the nerve to take in a huge breath of air, expanding his chest until she could see the cords of muscle ripple under the stretched fabric of his shirt.
- page 28, chapter 2


Series: Terra's Guardians series
Red's Wolf
Heart's Sentinel

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): claim

This romance story introduces you to a shifter-cat (jaguar, cougar, panther) world which has its distinct features compared to a werewolf world.

I like how martial arts figures into the story and using it as a way to gain self control as well as self defense for the main character.

Cover pre-Love Giveaway: Boyfriend From Hell by E. Van Lowe

Cover #1


Cover #2


Cover #3


Boyfriend From Hell
by E. Van Lowe

Release date: September 2011

Author E. Van Lowe needs your help in choosing the cover for his new novel Boyfriend From Hell. To entice you into entering, he's giving away some awesome swag. The contest is easy. All you need to do to qualify is choose which of the three covers below you like best.

Blurb from author:

Have you ever had a boyfriend from hell?

You know the kind: guy who messes with your life so much he turns it into Swiss cheese. Or maybe he was the guy who followed you home like a lost puppy, then turned into the pit bull you couldn't get rid of, no matter how hard you tried. Or maybe he was abusive.

I'm sure we've all had a bad boyfriend or two (or girlfriend in my case). My new novel, Boyfriend From Hell, is about a boyfriend from hell--literally. It's a YA paranormal like Never Slow Dance With A Zombie, but I've cut back on the comedy a bit in this one. It's the story of Megan Barnett, the fifteen year-old daughter of a 39 year-old single mom, Suze. When Suze decides it's time she had a man in her life, Megan is not happy. With good reason:

"First off, if anyone in my family should be dating, it should be me. I'm primo dating age here. How's it going to look if my mother has a boyfriend and I don't?" So Megan and Suze both set out to meet boyfriends. That's when all hell breaks loose.

ARC Book Giveaway courtesy of author


Prizes: ARCs (when they are available in April) or a tee shirt. 2 prizes in all.

Open to all.

Offer ends: March 4, 2011

TO DO:

Of the three book covers above, which do you like best?

Tell me the answer and leave your email in comments.

On March 5th I will hold a random drawing of all who left a comment. There will be two winners who will receive their choice of an ARC or a tee shirt. I will email the winners and post the winning cover design on the blog.

Love Potion: elixir of love

The Elixir of Love

~-~-~-~-~ guest ~-~-~-~-~
by Sasha Soren
~-~-~-~-~ guest ~-~-~-~-~

For today’s love potion, we’d like to share a lovely aria connected to the subject of – love potions.

In L’elisir d’amore (The Elixir of Love), the young hero, Nemorino, spends the last of his money to obtain a love potion from a traveling purveyor of potions, who sells it to him for ‘the price of whatever you have in your pocket.’

In the grand tradition of traveling quacks, the love philtre is, of course, a phony, being just a bottle of red wine.

But Nemorino is so convinced that the potion will work that he’s overly confident that he’ll win the love of the beautiful Adina. They meet and she playfully teases him without mercy, but he treats her with indifference.



Lyrics in Italian and English

Second version, with English subtitles

Secretly, Adina does indeed love the callow Nemorino, but out of injured pride, she instead accepts the marriage proposal of the pompous Sergeant Belcore.

To up the ante and wipe the gloating smile off Nemorino’s face, she proposes that she and Belcore marry that very same day, before his regiment ships off.

Belcore is overjoyed with his fine catch, Adina despairs that the imminent nuptials won’t spur Nemorino to act, and Nemorino rushes off in a panic, bewildered and looking for another love potion to make Adina love him.

A very fine mess of tangled hearts ensues.

All’s well that ends well, though, when the sulking Nemorino suddenly realizes something crucial; while recalling Adina’s face while he spoke to her, he remembers seeing one irrefutable proof of love in her eyes that no love potion could ever deliver - a single, furtive tear.

In the video above, Nemorino sings the lovely aria ‘Una furtiva lagrima’ (‘A furtive tear’), where he realizes that love is the secret cause of her unhappiness, and that – love potion or no love potion – he’s already captured her heart and true love might very well save the day.

Vive L'Amour: Music Hop

Random Magic Tour: Vive L’Amour

He Said/She Said: Musical blog hop

Romance, flirting, mad passion,
melancholy regret and bitter heartbreak…
Find songs that share every nuance of love
from male and female points of view,
on this sweet musical blog hop!

~*~

Music is a strong theme in Random Magic -- so strong, in fact, that one of the celestial characters Winnie and Henry meet is Efterpe, the Muse of music.

Love is another strong theme in the book, and so in honor of Valentine’s Day, here’s a fun blog hop to check out, featuring songs about love.

For each stop, you’ll be able to listen to two love songs -- one love song written by (or interpreted by) a man, and one by a woman, to be fair and give the fellows equal time to wax lyrical or poetic or happy-go-lucky or broken-hearted or philosophical, and so on…

You are here: #1 of 7: vvb32 Reads



Love You Madly - Cake

He said:

I don't want to doubt you
Know everything about you
I don't want to sit across the table from you
Wishing I could run
I want to love you madly


Song’s commentary on love: If passion's driving the engine, the odds are there's no one at the wheel.

~*~



Some Like It Hot - Club des Belugas

She said:

I'm a lover, I'm a hexer, I'm a queen
I'm the ruler of emperors and kings
I'm a woman who won't play by the rules
I'm a lover who never plays it cool


Song’s commentary on love: Well, some like it hot.

Random Magic quote:

Aha,” he said accusingly, holding up the daisy as indisputable proof. A thin, single petal dangled precariously from the yellow bulb.

“Love me,” he said smugly, and waggled his perfectly arched eyebrows.

“Knew it.”

“Get over yourself, Eros,” said the girl in blue. “Don’t you have archery practice or something?” (More)
