The Brothers of Baker Street

Author: Michael Robertson
Publisher: St. Martin's Press (March 2011)

When brothers Reggie and Nigel Heath choose 221B Baker Street as the location for their law office, they don’t expect that their new office space would come with one huge stipulation, answering the letters sent to Sherlock Holmes, the most famous resident of that address.

Reggie is distressed because the love of his life, actress Laura Rankin (whom Nigel also adores), is gallivanting around with media mogul Lord Buxton. And while Reggie is working on a new case involving one of London’s Black Cab drivers who is accused of murdering two American tourists, the letters to Sherlock Holmes are piling up. There s even one from someone who claims to be the descendent of Professor James Moriarty.

With a case that would have puzzled even Sherlock himself and a pair of brother sleuths more different than night and day, The Brothers of Baker Street is sure to please mystery fans whatever their address.

The Brothers of Baker Street is the second in the series about 2 brothers who rent law offices at 221B Barker street. They receive letters almost daily written to Sherlock Holmes. Part of their lease agreement says that they must answer the letters with a form letter and nothing else. In the last book, answering one of the letters gets the brothers in all sorts of trouble. This time around, a descendant of Professor Moriarty is up to no good.

I liked this one a lot more than the first one (The Baker Street Letters) . There was more of both brothers in this one whereas the first one was mostly from Reggie's point of view. I thought the mystery was pretty good. I liked the twists and turns that it took. There were also a couple of red herrings which I liked. The author delves more into the brothers' background this time around as well. I really liked both of them and think that they make a great detective team. The one thing that was frustrating was that Reggie never tells Laura how he feels about her. Like the first one, this one wraps up the mystery, yet ends in a sort of cliffhanger. I hope there is another one coming soon.

If you haven't read The Baker Street Letters, I would pick that one up before this one. If I had read this one first, I think I would have been a bit lost. The author makes references to the first book that I think could get lost on the reader. I listened to the audiobook. Simon Vance was the narrator and I love his voice. I definitely recommend both books, especially this one. This is a great, quirky series!

Delirium

Author: Lauren Oliver

Publisher: HarperTeen (February 2011)

Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -- the deliria -- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.

But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.

Delirium is a great book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Ms. Oliver uses beautiful, descriptive words to describe everything from sunsets to memories of Lena's childhood. I was sucked in from the beginning. Everything is told from Lena's point of view so that the reader experiences everything right along with Lena. She is about to turn 18 and will be "cured" from love. She lives in a society where love has been deemed a disease and by taking away the feeling of love, the world will be peaceful. Close to her procedure, she meets Alex and falls in love with him. I loved Alex. He teaches Lena to really live and and enjoy life. Their relationship is filled with emotion and I loved them together.

One of the things that I really liked about the book were the little excerpts from the manuals and children's books from the "world" Lena lives in. They give the reader a good idea of what the government has changed about the society to keep order. For instance, Romeo and Juliet is taught as a warning, not as a love story. I can't imagine living in a world where I couldn't feel love, especially for my children.

While I loved the book, I had a couple of problems with it. If you get rid of love, don't you have to get rid of other emotions? The people in this society do not feel love, yet they still feel other things like pity and fear. To me, I would think that all of these things would be tied together. The other problem was the ending...talk about a cliffhanger! The next one doesn't come out until next March. I want to know what happens next!!!

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was great! I highly recommend it.

2 in 1 Novellas - Friendly Fire and IOU Sex

Today, I have 2 very quick novellas put out by Carina Press. Both are between 18 and 20K words, so you can fly through them in no time. I did! First up is:

Friendly Fire:

Author: Megan Hart
Publisher: Carina Press (02/21/2011)

After Agent Kendall Frasier's partner is shot in "friendly fire" during a drug bust, she agrees to take a week's vacation on a tropical island as part of her psychiatric evaluation. Sand, sun, sea—what could be better to help her work through her guilt? Even if the presence of the man responsible for the shooting, Agent Zane Vincent, seems counterproductive to her mental health.

As Kendall gets to know Zane, and realizes he feels worse about what happened than she does, it becomes impossible to hate him. And their mutual attraction becomes impossible to deny.

Kendall and Zane soon agree to put the event that brought them together in the past—and spend the present exploring their most erotic desires. Do they have a future in the real world when their week in paradise is over? Previously published; newly revised by author.

I think out of the two novellas I am reviewing today, I liked this one the least. It was entertaining and the love scenes were steamy and well written. I just didn't really like Kendall or Zane. I'm not sure I bought into their attraction. It just seemed forced to me. I also thought that they both got over their trauma way to quickly. Perhaps I would have liked this a bit more had it been a longer story with more build up to their relationship. I honestly didn't really care whether or not they found their HEA. It wasn't awful and I did enjoy it, I just wanted more than it gave me.

Next up is I.O.U Sex:

Author: Calista Fox
Publisher: Carina Press

Fiona Carlisle didn't think anything could hurt as much as finding her fiancé in bed with her sister. But receiving an invitation to the happy couple's engagement party comes a close second. Determined to prove to her family and herself that she's moved on, Fiona has every intention of attending, looking red-hot and with an even hotter man on her arm. And there's only one man who will do: renowned photographer and reputed playboy Michael Houston.

Fiona's rebound fling with Michael was a brief but erotic romp. Michael has made no secret of the fact that he's still interested. So when Fiona asks him to escort her to the engagement party, he agrees, with one condition: she must spend a sensual weekend with him picking up where they left off.

Intensely attracted to Michael, Fiona can't resist his offer for long. But when the weekend is over, will she be able to resist giving him her heart?

I liked this one much better. I loved Michael and Fiona together. They had a history and I could really feel their attraction for one another. There was just enough back story that I felt I knew where both characters were coming from. I loved how Fiona handles herself at the engagement party. It was a hilarious scene and I was cheering her on all the way. The love scenes were steamy and very entertaining. Great story and one I definitely recommend reading!

2 in 1 - Fail Harder and Cat Vs. Human

I have 2 adult humor books published by Andrews McMeel Publishing for you today. Both are very quick reads and are guaranteed to make you laugh!

First up:

Fail Harder: Ridiculous Illustrations of Epic Fails

Author: failblog.org community
Publish date: September 6, 2011

FAIL Harder follows the hilarious best-seller Fail Nation to showcase 200 original full-color photos of world-wide FAILS based on the popular website failblog.org, the most visited member of the Cheezburger Network.

So what qualifies as a FAIL? How about a nursery outfitted with a gun rack hanging over the baby's crib? Perhaps the equation, "E=MC3" written on a classroom's write/erase board. What about a trifecta of beauty parlor, chain saw repair, and nightclub housed inside an all-in-one-stop shop?

Classic FAILs like these are presented in more than 15 different categories, including At Home, In A Relationship, On the Job, and With Your Pets.

If you must FAIL, FAIL Harder.

I have been reading failblog.org for a while now. When I saw the ad for the book, I knew I had to read it. This is a very quick book to get through as it is all photos. I read it in one sitting. Some of the "Fails" included in the books are hilarious and make you wonder if they are real or doctored photos. Even if they are, it doesn't make them any less funny. I definitely recommend this one if you are looking for a quick way to put a smile on your face. I will caution though, some of the content probably isn't appropriate for younger viewers. Especially some of the photos in the "FAIL Kids" section. But, since it is a quick read you should be able to preview it quickly before deciding if you want to pass it on to the kids.


Next:

Cat Vs. Human
Author: Yasmine Surovec
Published: October 4, 2011

Yasmine Surovec began sketching her clever and sarcastic Cat Versus Human cartoons as a way to relax and unwind. Soon, her popular blog at catversushuman.blogspot.com began receiving as many as 12,000 hits per day, with a number of posts going viral and appearing on popular Web sites such as The Huffington Post and I Can Has Cheezburger. Now, a selection of 100 Cat Versus Human strips—many never previously published—can be found inside this inaugural collection of Cat Versus Human.

Proud owners of Felis domesticus will instantly recognize Surovec's keen insights into cat behavior and all of the characteristic intricacies of the cat-human relationship, such as the allure of an empty cardboard box trumping an expensive battery-operated toy or how a cat's favorite nap spot might as easily be inside a litter box, on top of clean laundry, or directly on top of a human face. Cat Versus Human also encourages an affectionate look at your once-was-in-mint-condition mid-century modern sofa that is now being unstuffed one cat claw at a time.

I had never read this blog before finding this book. I have been a cat owner most of my life, so I can appreciate a lot of the humor in this book. I think there is even some room for dog lovers to appreciate it as well. My favorite strip in the book is "Dog + Humans vs Cat + human". Any cat owner can relate! This is another book that is pretty quick to read. I definitely recommend this one as well.

Blog Tour - Of Wolves and Men

Author:G. A. Hauser
Publisher: The GA Hauser Collection LLC (April 2011)

'Cowboy' Charlie Mosby worked on a horse ranch in Heber, Utah. He loved his work, the owners of the ranch, and his co-workers; wranglers who helped tourists with guided horse tours and trail riding all year round.
But after a chance meeting with a handsome gay man who had helped Charlie change a flat tire on Interstate 80 a month ago, Charlie was beginning to wonder about his sexuality. And if that wasn't confusing enough, strange things were happening on the ranch.
Satanic worship? A strange cult ritual? Whatever it was, it wasn't good for the owners or the horses on it.
One night Charlie stumbles upon Roman Burk in the woods, naked, bleeding and shivering in the cold. What Charlie never imagined was who -or what- Roman was. Even though the handsome stranger seemed to vanish at times and reappear as if by magic, Charlie was infatuated by this man.
Roman was fearful of revealing his secret. Most of all to a cowboy who was spending more time hunting him, than loving him.
In this shape-shifting story of sexual bonding and discovery, can both Charlie and Roman find what they're looking for? It's a question of honor; one that has been up for debate since the first time man set his eyes on this formidable predator. It's about the mutual respect of Wolves and Men.

Let me first say that this isn't my normal genre. This book does have M/M erotic content in it, so I wasn't too sure if I would like it or not. Having said that, I did enjoy the book. The premise of the curse was interesting and I liked that Roman could turn into both a crow and a wolf. I thought that was unique as usually it is only one animal. I loved Charlie. He just wants to please and help everyone. He was just too cute. I really felt for him as he struggled with his feelings for Roman. I would have liked to see more of Roman's and Charlie's relationship that didn't involve quick sex or turning into animals.

My only complaint about the book is that I wish it had been longer. I felt like not much was resolved in the end. I know that there is a sequel to this one that hopefully wraps up the mystery of the curse. Instead of 2 shorter books, I wish this one was just one longer book so the reader isn't left hanging in the end. I want to know what happens next! I will be seeking out the sequel.

Throwback Thursday - Woman to Wed?

Author: Penny Jordan
First published in 1997 by Harlequin
(Recently re-issued by Harlequin Treasury as an ebook.)

Marriage is out of the question…

Claire Marshall: Stepmother to the bride. Wary of love, she has no intention of marrying again.

Brad Stevenson: Finally free of family responsibility, has no desire for further ties and emotional commitment.

Persuaded to take on one last family task, Brad is brought into Claire's well-ordered life. She provokes him, intrigues him, angers and excited him because he is sure that passion hides just below her calm surface. But what would happen to them both if that passion were revealed?

Three woman catch the same bouquet and vow to ignore superstition and never get married. Claire is one of those women, yet in Woman to wed? she finds love where she wasn't looking. Woman to Wed? is the first in a series that Penny Jordan wrote for Harlequin in the 1990s. Even though I didn't care too much for this one, I have put the other two on hold at my library. I want to know what happens to the other two women who caught the bouquet.

This book was just OK for me. I really had a hard time buying into the story. Usually, I like the "love at first sight" story and can even believe the "I want to marry you after knowing you a few days" storyline. In this case, not so much. Brad was whiny and a total user. Claire was 34 and yet she acted like she was 50YO virgin. Aside from one night of passion, they really weren't together enough to even remotely get to know each other. All of a sudden, they are each just what the other had been searching for their whole lives? Nah, didn't buy it.

If you are a fan of Penny Jordan, give this throwback a try. You might like it more than me.

Do You Know Jo Nesbo?

If you're a fan of Steig Larsson or Jonathan Kellerman and you're wondering what to read next, I think you're going to be a fan of Jo Nesbo.  He's being hailed as the next Steig Larsson and he has the added benefit of not being dead so the books can keep on coming.  He's a Norwegian writer so he has that European flair like Larsson, but I found his books to be more like Kellerman's Alex Delaware books...but better.  Unfortuately not all of his books are available in the United States. 

His books are centered around the drama ridden, alcoholic detective (with the unfortunate name) Harry Hole.   Americans meet him for the first time in the book The Redbreast, but this is actually the 3rd book in the series, the first two aren't available in the US.  I thought this was an amazing book.  I was sucked in right away.  Nesbo has a great way of weaving seemingly unconnected stories together in ways you aren't expecting.   Not having the first two books available didn't hurt at all.  I didn't feel like I was missing any of the back story.  The Redbreast provided some really interesting perspective on World War II. 

The second book is Nemesis.   I liked this book quite a lot, but not as much as The Redbreast.  This one was about a bank robberies and gypsies.  This book introduces the character of Beatte Lonn, a mousy female detective that Harry works with.  I particularly like Beatte, she's super cute and really smart.  The tension between Tom Waaler, Harry's long time adversary, starts to heat up in this book.

The Devil's Star is the third book.  I just finished this one.  I liked this one much better, as much as The Redbreast.  Harry is once again off the wagon at the opening of this book, but he gets assigned to a case with none other than Tom Waaler.  Harry manages to get himself cleaned up enough figure out that a serial killer is on the loose in Oslo.  In this book the struggle between Harry and Tom finally comes to a conclusion.

Those are the three books that I've read...or listened to.  I did the audiobook thing on these three books.  Robin Sachs did an awesome job with The Redbreast and The Devil's Star.  I think it was Sean Barrett that did Nemesis and I didn't enjoy that one as much...maybe that's why I didn't like that book as much?

There are two more books in the Harry Hole series that I haven't gotten to yet, but I will for sure!

Guest Blogger - Lynne McTaggart

Today we welcome author Lynn McTaggart for a guest post. She is promoting her new book About The Bond: Connecting Through the Space Between Us


Publisher: Free Press

In this resonant, persuasive book, author Lynne McTaggart (The Intention Experiment; The Field) draws on recent groundbreaking science to show that the connectedness that all spiritual people feel is real, not illusory. We do truly exist, she argues, in a vast, dynamic web of connection in which all living things are constantly involved in information transfers with our environment. To demonstrate these interactions, she describes recent research in quantum physics, cellular biology, and psychology. A seminal New Age statement for the new millennium.


She writes:

Against Darwin, against debate

Since the 2009 bicentenary celebrations of Darwin's birth and television shows portraying Darwin as a cross between Santa Clause and God, it has been virtually impossible to take issue with anything Darwin stood for without being labelled a creationist.

Ideas hijacked
No doubt, Darwin's theory of natural selection was a bold and remarkable advance in our understanding of life.

Nevertheless, thanks to newly invented telegraphic cables and advances in printmaking, Darwin's views quickly swept across the globe and were largely hijacked as intellectual justification for a raft of fledgling social movements.

Darwinian evolution made for a perfect fit with emergent western capitalism. English biologist Thomas Huxley, dubbed "Darwin's bulldog", was convinced that it was in the natural order for human beings to put their own interests above all others. In fact Huxley had a simple recipe for those without sufficient means to support themselves: "They die, and it is best they should die."

Darwin's theories were also cited as proof positive that the world's races were inherently unequal, and that certain races "particularly the white Europeans" were far "fitter" than others. They were used, for instance, to justify the Chinese revolution and the "whitening" of Latin American indigenous culture with European stock.

Columbine natural selection
Darwin obviously is not to blame for the vast amount of misguided notions that have been carried out in his name.

Nevertheless, scientists do not formulate their ideas in a vacuum, but usually reflect the cultural mores of their time. The young Darwin was profoundly influenced by the concerns put forward by the Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus about population explosion and limited natural resource, and ultimately concluded that since there wasn’t enough to go around, life must evolve through struggle.

Some of the fledgling ideas of what came to be called Social Darwinism may have originally influenced his theories. Darwin himself predicted (and appeared to favor) the notion that at some point in the future Europeans and Americans would exterminate those deemed to be "savages", and the "higher civilized" races would prevail. "Excepting in the case of man himself, hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed," he once noted in a letter to a friend.

Closed to interpretation
My biggest problem is reserved for the greatest Darwinian hijacking of them all. Modern-day interpreters of Darwin, the so-called "neo-Darwinists", regard genes as having the power to control every aspect of our lives, so that the rest of the body is considered simply the vehicle of transport.

I, for one, do not buy either the "selfish" or the "struggle-for-dominance" metaphor. The more new evidence I examine in virtually every scientific discipline, the more I grow convinced that life exists through a giant act of cooperation and that the leitmotif for all of nature is connection, rather than battle.

Scientific fascism
A few years ago the BBC aired an excellent documentary called Did Darwin Kill God? The theologian who narrated the show made the very good case that neo-Darwinists and the Creationists are both extremists, misappropriating the views of Darwin.

To my mind, Darwin did not kill God. Darwin is God now.

So long as we believe there is nothing more to add to the story, we blind ourselves to the real truth of science, which is that no single scientist, however brilliant, can declare that this is it, the full and complete guide to the universe.

Our scientific story must always remain unfinished, continuously revised by every new Darwin.

Blog Tour and Giveaway! - Dracula in Love

Author: Karen Essex
Publisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group (paperback, July 2011)

From the shadowy banks of the river Thames to the wild and windswept Yorkshire coast, Dracula’s eternal muse, Mina Murray, vividly recounts the intimate details of what really transpired between her and the Count—the joys and terrors of a passionate affair that has linked them through the centuries, and her rebellion against her own frightening preternatural powers. Mina’s version of this Gothic vampire tale is a visceral journey into Victorian England’s dimly lit bedrooms, mist-filled cemeteries, and asylum chambers, revealing the dark secrets and mysteries locked within. Time falls away as she is swept into a mythical journey far beyond mortal comprehension, where she must finally make the decision she has been avoiding for almost a millennium. Bram Stoker’s classic novel offered one side of the story, in which Mina had no past and bore no responsibility for the unfolding events. Now, for the first time, the truth of Mina’s personal voyage, and of vampirism itself, is revealed. What this flesh and blood woman has to say is more sensual, more devious, and more enthralling than the Victorians could have expressed or perhaps even have imagined.

I have long been a fan of Bram Stoker's Dracula. So, when I was given the opportunity to read this book, I was excited to read Ms. Essex's take on the classic horror story. Dracula in Love is a sensual and erotic look into the relationship between Mina Harker and The Count. The premise is that Mina wants to tell the public what really happened. According to her, the story that was published by the "redheaded man" was not in anyway the true story. Here we find out more about why Dracula is obsessed with Mina and how that obsession has affected her whole life. The author explores a whole new side of Mina. I thought Mina was a much more interesting character in this book than in the original.

I also enjoyed the glimpse into the world of psychiatry in the late 1800s. Women who went against the Victorian views and wanted to explore their very natural and healthy sexual appetites were subjected to unspeakable torture. They were thought to be hysterical or crazy and needed to be cured. This part of the book had me cringing at times!

While I really enjoyed the book, I did think that it dragged a bit in a few places in the beginning. I am glad I stuck it out. I definitely recommend Dracula in Love. I think that fans of Gothic vampire tales with enjoy it was well.

Now for the Giveaway!!!! I have 5, yes, that is 5 paperback copies of this book to giveaway in honor of Ms. Essex's blog tour. Unfortunately, I can only open it to US readers. All you have to do is leave a comment with a valid email address to enter. If you tweet it or post it on Facebook, just leave me another comment with the link for an extra opportunity. This will end on August 7, 2011. Good Luck!!!!!
