Book Review: Gathering Storms by Lex Martin

If I had to rank all of my favorite tropes in books it would be Marriage of Convenience (even though it took me three times to get that word close enough for spell checker to correct it) and Surprise Baby and what do you know this book HAD BOTH OF THEM!!

Cue a *VERY* Happy me!!

Jace and Rory were an absolute delight! I didn't expect Jace to be such a loveable, golden retriever type of a guy, especially with his Rock Star role, but he was all that are more!

And Rory, Rory is all of us! As a nerd, I completely identified with her character! I loved that she gave him sass and didn't fall drooling at his feet when she met him. She made him WORK FOR IT and work for it he did!!!!

Cue me Swooning multiple times in this book.

I will be reading this book again because I read it in between surgeries when I was feeling miserable. I still absolutely loved it and gobbled it up as fast as my puny body would let me. But I'm going to have to read it a second time so I can soak in the romance!

And the mystery!! I almost forgot about that! Listen, I pride myself on figuring out who the bad guy is in books. My nickname isn't Nancy Drew for nothing. But sorry Nancy Drew, I let you down this time because the bad guy COMPLETELY SHOCKED ME. LITERALLY DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING! My flabbers were 10000% gasted in the best possible way!

There was only one time in this book when I wanted to slap Jace and tell him to get himself together and get his woman, but thankfully he got with the program. (Third act breakups are my least favorite thing ever)

Absolutely loved this book and the not one but TWO bonus Epilogues that Lex wrote! I can't wait for the next book in the series and to find out what the mysterious other brother has been up to!!!!!

I love Jesus & Sephora!!

I am not a morning person. There are very few things I will get up early for. Friday morning I got up while it was still dark outside. My alarm went off at 6:45 am and let me tell you I have not seen that time for a very very long while! However, something really exciting was happening that morning! Sephora came to Tippecanoe Mall! THATS RIGHT FOLKS SEPHORA!!!!!!!! I love me some Sephora! Yes, it is expensive, but the quality is amazing, and in reality I spend less on Sephora products than trying to find something that works with my wacky skin at the drug store. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I set my alarm early and ran out the door in a hurry! I got to the mall at 8:02 am. Sephora was opening at 10. I was not the first person there! I was about the 12'th person there and at first we were all smushed into this doorway which was really not comfortable at all. Thankfully the kind people at JcPenney let us inside the store so we could line up outside of Sephor...

Who needs a Knuckle anyway?!

If you are squeamish and do not like pictures of fingers stitched up, now would be the time to close this post and come back another day! I put this picture of my struggling get up for my shower first so that no one has to see the stitches if they don't want to. Call me kind :) Also, this get up did not work at keeping my finger dry. So last night i was opening a box of books, and accidentally opened my knuckle as well. It's funny, it didn't really hurt at the moment. I felt it of course, but it wasn't horrible pain. Blood started gushing and I ran for the bathroom to get some tp on it and bandaids. I do NOT do well with blood and seeing all of it made me a tad bit light headed. I managed to find some gauze and tape and after looking at my finger and noticing that i could see INSIDE my finger and the knuckle skin was WIDE open, I almost passed out. hahahaha.. it was GROSS! I dr'd up my finger and tried to decide if it would heal on it's o...
