Review: Monster

Monster (Minders, #1)Monster by Joely Skye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the first book in a series and while it can be read alone, it has a rather big hanging ending with little to no resolution on any front. As I haven’t read the subsequent books, I’ve no idea if any of the issues raised are resolved but the blurbs tease that perhaps there are more chapters to go before an eventual happy ending, if one exists. So keep this in mind if you’re the type that likes your stories wrapped up in the space of the book, otherwise know going in you’re tapping into (so far) a three part series. Now that being said, as a first installment this wasn’t bad and certainly set up enough themes to be explored in future sequels. Continue reading →

Toy Box: PaddlesToy Box: Paddles by M. Rode

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

“Sore Winner” by Kiernan Kelly stars two fiercely competitive men who, through a mix-up in reservations, end up sharing the master suite on a cruise ship. Morgan is a successful businessman who recently made it big with his ad business after years and years of hard work, scrimping and saving to help it survive. Rose is just the opposite, a seeming playboy with a trust fund managing a string of highly successful hotels. What happens when these two decide to indulge in a variety of contests to determine a winner is fast-paced, entertaining and amusing. From a game of table tennis to determine who wins the room’s only bed to a game of who can survive more spanks from the ping-pong paddle, these two engage you in their battle of wills.
