No Limits by Lori Foster

TITLE:  No Limits
AUTHOR:  Foster, Lori
GENRE:  Romance

DATES READ:  1/23/2015 - 1/30/2015

MY RATING:  3/5

I was actually waiting in line at the drug store when I saw this embarrassing cover starting back at me.  It's been so long since I've read a straight up romance novel, I figured why the hell not?!  I need more variety on here!

No Limits is part of Lori Fosters Ultimate series featuring MMA fighters.  I guess, unfortunately (Or fortunately? I don't really know...), romance novels just make me laugh.  I understood the whole basic plot and the drama of it all.  But let's just face it.  Sometimes they're cheesy as all hell.

Anyway... The lead male is a UMA fighter, Cannon Colter (the alliteration kills me), and he's blindsided (even though they already knew each other) by the coquettish Yvette Sweeney.  They have to deal with their old drama and new drama, all while trying to take care of a house/business.

Names are important to me in books, and these aren't my favorites.  But the overall story is compelling.  I'm debating snagging the rest of the series at some point but we'll see.

Will read and write soon!

TITLE:  Tell the Wolves I'm Home
AUTHOR:  Brunt, Carol Rifka

I got this book as a Christmas present from my mother.  So excited to start.

Tell the Wolves I'm Home is a sparkling story about a girl and her unwavering love for her artist uncle.  It's the story of his passing, and her grief and loneliness.  It's is also the story of her finding healing through her family, and a friendship she never knew she needed.

June's struggle with the loss of her uncle was brutal and realistic.  While this book has sad moments, but had an underlying sweetness.  It deals with coming together and finding family again after everything seems to fall apart.  Heartbreaking and bittersweet.

Will read and write soon!
