Ambient Light Book Review


Ambient Light is a awesome story about Yates and Kelly two individuals brought together by a irresistible attraction. Their attraction is combustible up until they find out that one of them is a vampire and the other a shifter. Despite their differences they're exactly what each other were longing for. I enjoyed this story thoroughly, another great read from Roth.

Administrative Control Review

Administrative Control was sexy, fun, and action filled. I haven't met a Roth book I haven't liked and the Immortal Ops series excellent. Asher and Jinx are fiery and combustible together, they're the perfect pair.

The Ugly Dumpling book review

http://www.examiner.com/review/the-ugly-dumpling-book-review

"The Ugly Dumpling" written by Stephanie Campisi and illustrated by Shahar Kober is a wonderful book that retells the story of The Ugly Duckling. Being left alone and uneaten like his fellow dumplings, the ugly dumpling feels out of sorts and miserable. When a spirited cockroach shows the dumpling how amazing life can be the ugly dumpling realizes that there is beauty all around him. I fell in love with this story from the first page, Campisi's prose ensnared me and Kober's illustrations wrapped me up in a blanket of whimsy and vibrant delight. This book was charming and fun, seeing the restaurant from the eyes of the ugly dumpling and the cockroach was so fresh and added the perfect amount of adventure to the story. Kober was able to portray ideally what the story was all about, from the expressions on the face of the dumplings, the restaurant patrons, to the authentic restaurant scenery.

What also makes this book fantastic is the message that so beautifully comes across through the pages. It's hard being different, the ugly dumpling shows you that everyone is beautiful in their own right and diversity should be embraced. This story encourages being a loving person, self-love and loving others despite their differences and the peer pressure that you may be facing. I find this message to be so important and relevant to today's society. This book would be a great addition to any classroom and school library. I think that the early childhood age group will highly enjoy this book. This sweet story can be used in themes on fairy tales, diversity, bullying, Chinese New Year, emotions, and for both language arts and social studies. I highly recommend this story which will be available on April 7, 2016 from Mighty Media Kids.

Damage Report Review

5 stars for Damage Report, Mandy Roth has delivered another stellar book. Every time I read a book in this series I fall more in love with it. Weston a bear shifter has been through as lot now all he wants is to take care of his basic needs. When he good buddy Casey tells him he needs to find his mate because she was in trouble Weston never thinks he's find her trapped in a sex club. Paisley was in for more than she bargained for when she set off to find her missing friend and winds up meeting Weston her mate. They are both in for a tumultuous and thrilling ride, as they fight for their relationship and to save their friends. I loved Weston and Paisley's story, though they are so different they're perfect together. I look forward to more from Roth and this series.

Executive Decision Book Review

Oh my gosh this book was fantastic, scandalous, and spicy. I loved this story about Liz and Dale two best friends with more than friendship brewing between them. Liz has been burned in the past so she has problems committing to one man, now she is having an affair with her boss and this is the final straw for Dale. Dale has been wanting more from Liz for a long time now he just isn't sure if taking the chance is worth their friendship but finding out that Liz and their boss is together is the catalyst that propels him to risk it all for the one woman he can't resist. I loved this story, the more I read from Roth the better she gets. She is hands down one of the best romance writers out there, this book proves it.

Dance of Souls Book Review

Short, sexy, action packed, and fun. I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I found the concept of the ghost cats to be intriguing. Mason Blackwolf found himself drawn to stop at this bar on his way home, he didn't know why he felt this pull to this place, but when Chandra walks in everything changes for him. He is inexplicably attracted to her and feels a connection that could be life changing. Chandra feels the same way about the mysterious man in the bar. But what they both will soon realize is their attraction is deeper than they both could have ever realized. This was a awesome read, I just wish that there wasn't such a gap from the last page to the epilogue, I felt like I was missing information.

Act of Submission Book Review


Out for revenge Haven seeks to kill all who are responsible for the death of her twin brother Harper, especially Psi-Op Boomer. She has heard a lot of horrific details about the psi-operatives and how they operate but she is willing to sacrifice it all in her brother's honor. Haven gets a rude awakening when she realizes that things aren't as they seem and now instead of fighting to the death she is fighting an attraction to the very man she sought to kill. This book was awesome from the very first page. Boomer has a very dark past and it has left him with a wall around his emotions and around his body, but when he sees Haven all of that seems to disappear. I loved this book, it was a excellent read just like the other books in this series. Haven and Boomer are perfect for each other, despite him being a cat shifter and her being part vampire. Nothing better stand in their way of being with each other, not even the ones who mean the most to them. I eagerly await more books in this series, Roth has another winner on her hands. I would highly recommend it.
