A match made in texas

Top 5 Songs for your books—

 

1.       Going Cowboy Crazy—The Boys of Fall/Kenny Chesney

Slate Calhoun is a high school football coach who thinks that winning is the most important thing.  Like the song, he’ll figure out that it’s more about being a team.

2.       Catch Me a Cowboy—The House That Built Me/Miranda Lambert Shirlene Dalton has spent most of her life trying to forget about her childhood on the wrong side of the tracks.  But when circumstances force her back to the rundown trailer she grew up in, she will face all the ghosts that haunt her and discover that you can’t outrun your past.

3.       Trouble in Texas—A Lil’ Ole Bitty Pissant Country Place/Dolly Parton.  Miss Hattie’s Henhouse is just a lil’ pissant country place.  And there’s nothing dirty going on . . . except for murder, intrigue, men getting handcuffed to beds, and librarians doing strip teases.

4.       Flirting With Texas—Live Like You Were Dying/Tim McGraw 

After beating cancer, Beauregard Cates lives each day to the fullest.  When he’s not thrill seeking or traveling, he’s riding thousand-pound bulls—and doing a little detective work for the henhouse hens.  It’s this detective work that will bring Beau back home and have him “loving a little deeper.”

5.       A Match Made in Texas—Fastest Girl in Town/Miranda Lambert

Brianne Cates is the youngest, and only, sister to the legendary Cates brothers.  Which explains why she’s been sheltered most of her life, and why she has a daredevil streak a mile wide.  She would love to be the fastest girl in Bramble, Texas.  Of course, it’s hard to be fast when you drive your grandmother’s Smart Car, and when you have the major hots for a no-nonsense sheriff who wants to play by the rules.

 

Thanks for letting me monkey around with you, My Five Monkeys!

 

About A MATCH MADE IN TEXAS

Living with four over-protective brothers is enough to make a good girl go bad. But the day Brianne Cates hits the road for a taste of freedom, she gets more trouble than she bargained for when she's arrested by a sexy sheriff in mirrored shades. Now doing a stint of community service, she's not going to let a cowboy cop like Dusty Hicks mess with her newfound independence-even if he awakens every wicked fantasy she's ever had. 

In Bramble, Texas, Dusty is the law. That means no leniency for the gorgeous rebel whose highway antics almost got them both killed. The divorced lawman doesn't need another rich, pampered princess, even if Brianne has the lushest body and sweetest smile in the whole darn state. But even as Brianne proves that she lives to walk on the wild side, Dusty begins to wonder if maybe he has what it takes to tame her.

preordered this book , but ending up getting it by Karen because amazon was taking too long

 

 

The others are back . Things are changing since Meg has showed up to the courtyard. Meg can still do visions when she cuts herself. Simon wolfguard  is still in charge of the courtyard, and the residents that live there. Simon and Meg are awkwardly cute, and trying to figure things out happening between them. Meg is seems is getting a female pack of humans.

 

This book showed the courtyard and the others area can be so much bigger. We also meet the ferryman, and the simple life folks.

 

I adore this world and all the characters in this book. I adore Simon, vlad, Tess, and Meg. I would love to try those people cookies.

 

Book Review= A

6th in a series

Presley is back in Whiskey Creek . She is raising Wyatt , and trying to do it all on her own with a massage and yoga business. Aaron is also back , and trying to move the business up to Reno.

Cheyenne and Dylan are trying to have a baby. She does many things out of character and a lot of lying. Dylan is clueless . They aren't communicating about the important things. She has also been keeping Wyatt paternity a secret.

Presley starts dating Riley, and there isn't any connection between them. She still has a sparks with Aaron.

I 've been with the series since the beginning, and I love all the characters. But I think what she did with Chey's character was do a 180 degree's. I think what Chey did , and will have after effects in the later books. I KNOW the fan's wanted this book, but Presley & Aaron both needed some smacks to the head. I wanted to smack Chey too. Presley and Aaron had a rough ride to find them selves as a couple. I do want to see what happens with the rest of the Gang, but this wasn't my favorite of the series at all. They lying and secrets were a major turn off. Ugh I have never been so frustrated with a book.

Book Review = C-/ D

Divergent Movie Review

Thoughts:

my dd has been more excited than me to see this movie. We got to the showing , and waited for all the previews. The movie theater wasn't very packed.

The movie finally begins and I agree that this was a good book to movie adaptation. I loved the characters, and the seeing the choosing ceremony. Theo ( Four) made the movie in my humble opinion. I kept waiting for her to learn his name, and I expected more kissing.  I did enjoy the Ferris Wheel , and zip lining. I thought the adults in the movie were excellent. Tris was okay actress .

My dd loved how Four was afraid of heights, and the ending. Overall she enjoyed this movie and it lived up to her expectations of reading the series.

I might see the next movie , and really want to see Marcus .
