Bridesmaid Lotto by Rachel Astor (McMaster the Disaster, #1)

With a cute cover like that, I couldn't wait to click buy on my kindle.

The premise of the book is about a wedding, a rich socialite, Emma VanHorn is getting married and instead of choosing a family member for her court, she has decided to get extra money by offering a raffle to be a bridesmaid. She will pick only three. At 10 dollars a ticket you could be part of the wedding of the year!

Josephine McMaster is not interested in joining this crazy lotto. However, her mom has other ideas. Without her knowledge, an application has been sent and surprise, surprise she is one of the three girls chosen for the wedding.

Josie is beautiful but throughout her whole life, she has been a klutz. To keep things real, she starts writing a diary about her former and current years, with all the embarrassing moments of her life.

She also doesn't know how to deal with all the paparazzi, and with one of the groomsman, Jake Hall, who is not only handsome and nice but also a very famous actor.

Can their relationship work?

It is an easy read, with funny moments. You feel embarrassed when Josie is embarrassed too. I have book 2 and it has more Jake in it.

Until There Was You by Kristan Higgins

What is not to like?

I have become an adept reader of anything Mrs. Higgins writes about. I love her characters, and I love that there is always a dog involved.

This contemporary romance begins with Posey Osterhagen, she comes from an adopted family. Her parents are German and owned a restaurant in town. As a teenager, she used to work there, in the company of bad boy Liam Murphy. She had a huge crush on him, but he hurt her feelings. He was in love with the popular smart (and nice) girl. He married her and left town.

Now, Posey is all grown up and owns her own company, she is in control of her life until Mr. Bad (now a widower) moves back in town with his daughter.

To Liam's surprise he starts having feelings for Posey, their chemistry is undeniable.

Can a past misunderstanding be resolved?

I'm so happy with Mrs. Higgins's writing, I will buy any book that she writes.  Her secondary characters are always memorable.

Kiss of Frost (Mythos Academy #2) Jennifer Estep

Second book in the series.

Gwen Frost is a gypsy. She has the power to know what emotions and thoughts a person has left in an inanimate object. It is worse if she touches the actual person. Images are more vivid. She tries to avoid touching a person if she can. However, she may enjoy the touch of Spartan boy Logan Quinn, whom she is attracted to. 

She is dealing with the death of her mother, the new school, her love life, and the people who are trying to bring Loki back and are after her to kill her.

Jennifer Estep is one of my favorite writers, she never disappoints me. I love her world building, her heroines and how fast paced her books are. The secondary characters in the book are also good. We have Vic, the talking sword, Spartan boys, her BFF Daphne, and many more.

I will buy the next book in a heart beat. (I already preordered the next Spider book).

Second Grave on the Left by Darynda Jones

Second Grave on the Left

Charley Davidson #2

Darynda Jones

Second book in the Series.

This installment starts with Cookie asking Charley for help. Her girlfriend Mimi is in trouble and has disappeared. Mimi's classmates are slowly dying, and it seems there is a high school secret that could get Mimi killed.

In regards to Reyes, now we know more of what/who he is. In order to protect Charley from the demons, he is being tortured somewhere. He won't tell her where.

His incorporeal being appears many times through the book, only to prevent her from finding his human body.

This book is full of emotion, action, humor. Can't wait for book 3.

Existence by Abbi Glines

The book called my name. Those blue eyes (sigh!). Yes I knew it was going to be YA, but I was glad I read it.

Pagan is in high school and she is special. She has been able to see souls her whole life. At the beginning of her school year she sees this guy looking at her intensely. She knows he is a Soul, but something makes her feel nervous around him. 

She is a good student and volunteers as a tutor. She becomes a tutor to Leif who is very popular and handsome. She soon realizes he is sweet and starts having feelings for him at the same time this Soul keeps on appearing to her and talking to her. No other soul has done that before. Later on he become a real student and goes by the name of Dank, who is also a famous player in a band.

Not to give things away but I went for bad boy Dank all the way. I'm happy I did.

Fast and easy read.

First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones

Let's just say that it was refreshing to read First Grave on the Right. The humor in this novel makes you smile. Even the cover is cool.

The heroine in this book is Charley Davidson, she can see ghosts but also is the Grim Reaper. She helps souls cross over through her. Her other career is as a PI, she used to help her dad (ex police officer) solve crimes, now she helps her uncle Bob.

In the romance department, she has been dreaming about a dark entity, and he later becomes real. That is how Reyes shows up. There is another guy, Garrett, who is completely human.

This book is about Uncle Bob and Charley solving the murder of three lawyers. You won't be disappointed reading books by Darynda Jones. I grabbed the second book and finished it in an afternoon.

The Single Girl's To-Do List by Lindsey Kelk

Rachel has a list for everything except how to live your life after being dumped by your boyfriend of five years. Luckily, this girl has two great friends. First is Matthew, who is a great guy but also gay. Her other friend is Emilie. They have known each other for many years and they are both there to help her survive the next few days. After many drinks at the Pub, they come up with the Single Girl's to-do list. The list involves a few things Rachel wouldn't dream of doing, including bungee jumping or "something like it", looking up a high school crush, sending a letter to the ex, a makeover, flying somewhere. 

I just couldn't put the book down. I will say it was a page-turner or Kindle Fire slide over. It was funny and the secondary characters were unbelievable lively. I wanted to meet Rachel and Co.

The end was the best, although it could have had one more page.

I can almost picture a movie from it.
