Communication in Marriage

Title: Communication in Marriage  By: Marcus and Ashley Kusi   Pages: 86  Genre: Self-Help

~Was asked to review book by author~

This book is small and to the point of how to help communicate with your partner to have a happier healthier marriage. It states at the beginning that if you don't communicate you don't have anything. I enjoyed reading this to find more ways I can communicate with my husband more effectively. 

Marcus and Ashley both put their hearts and souls on these pages to help couples all over the world see that all issues can stem from not communicating and I think they did beautifully! I recommend this to everyone to read and put to use in their own marriages or relationships in general :)

Blush

Title: Blush  By: Opal Carew  Pages: 255  Genre: Erotica

This book has some really steamy sections. I enjoyed reading it. It was very different from what I usually read but I am trying to expand my horizons on my genre front.

Hanna is a successful woman who is in love with her boyfriend, even though he has never made her climax neither has anyone else and he has never said how he feels. When the break up she meets this new guy that takes his time with her and gives her her first climax. She gets into a pickle when she grows feelings for the new guy but still loves the old one...so she thinks after some exploration of her own body and how to climax why not have both at the same time?

Warning: Explicit content!!!!

Arena One

Title: Arena One   By: Morgan Rice  Pages: 213  Genre: Fantasy

Brooke has been raised by her military father and her Mom just stands by. Thankfully she retained it. America goes crazy and goes to another civil war. A type of people take control called Slaverunners, you join them or you die. Brooke took her sister and her dog up into the mountains and stayed hidden, but then the slaverunners take poor little Bree which sets Brooke into a mission to save her little sister and she meets Ben whom is on the same mission. 

I enjoyed this book, I enjoyed reading like I was Brooke and I was on the mission, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and had a hard time putting it down. Only reason I did was because I had to go to work and take care of my kids. Sometimes it isn't fun being an adult and having responsibilities when all you want to do is read. 

The 5 Love Languages

Title: The 5 Love Languages     By: Gary Chapman    Pages: 209   Genre: Self-Help

Not any one marriage is perfect. There are 5 main ways to speak "love" to someone you love. This book lists them and gives you details and examples on how it has changed marriages that started out rough and because they applied the love languages how dramatically it changed for the better!

I enjoyed reading this and getting a perspective that I didn't see before. I did read some reviews that stated some of this is common sense and I agree, but sometimes you forget that people don't feel loved the same way you do. I recommend this to everyone that is going to get married or are married. Even if you don't see any problems in your relationship I would still suggest to read it because you can't go wrong with improving your relationships that mean the most to you right?

Clockwork Angel

Title: Clockwork Angel   By: Cassandra Clare   Pages: 479   Genre: Fantasy

She gets held captive by some horrible sisters that make her use her power she wasn't aware she had and she got thrust into a world she never knew exsisted! 

This book did hold a lot of the same similarites in character development that Cassandra's other series The Mortal Instruments is. There is enough differences between the two however that you can enjoy both series! I enjoyed it and will continue to read this series!

It took me from October to beginning of Feburary to read this book, so I'm going to go with I wasn't a huge fan. The writing was great and the thoughts were fluid but I really wasn't into the talking kitchen appliances. I wish it would happen in real life just because that would be pretty cool, but to just drop it in like it was normal on page one confused the crap out of me.
