Rain by V.C. Andrews
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Typical V.C. Andrews storyline. Flowers in the Attic and the Dollanganger series always remain my favorites but can’t help but checking out the other series to see if any live up to that one. This series is ranking way below others for me so far.

Lightning Strikes by V.C. Andrews
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This being the 2nd book in a V.C. Andrews series it follows the typical storyline… The main character is really a hot mess as they try to figure out their life/family. I find a lot of it pretty predictable having read others.

Eye of the Storm by V.C. Andrews
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

After finishing this the 3rd book of the Hudson series I have to wonder if anyone bothers proofreading any of the story before they rush it off to sale. There are numerous inconsistencies by the time you get to the 3rd book and it becomes frustrating to know the story better than the author seems to.

As You Wish by Jennifer Malin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As You Wish is the sequel to Wish I Might and again we meet the characters from the first book but in an completely different way. In this book we have modern day Leah Cantrell travel back in time and deal with all the elements of being totally out of her time and element.

A fun, light hearted take on romance and time travel. Rather enjoyed this easy, fun read. Great follow up to the first book.

Opening Up by Lauren Dane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I won this book through Goodreads First Reads.

Opening Up is an erotic romance read featuring P.J. Colman and Asa Barrons. P.J. is the youngest in a family that owns an automotive business selling tires. Her father overlooks her every attempt at bringing her own style and worth to the family business and all of her ideas to expand to include a detailing service. She sets off on her own then to do what she truly loves and to try to be taken seriously in a male dominated world.

Asa is co-owner of Twisted Steel, a body shop restoring cars and bikes. When Asa and P.J. meet through work they have an instant attraction but Asa denies it for a while to keep work and personal life seperate. When the two do start a relationship the sparks fly.

A good read overall. Asa and P.J. seem to be made for each other.
