I really enjoyed this who done it with a little bit of romance. I received this book for free and voluntarily chose to review it. I've given it a 5* rating. This was clean with just a little bit of violence. This pulled me in with the harassed heroine and the wana be hero. There was just so much going on that I just wanted to know what was going to happen next. There was a couple of mysteries solved in this also. Nothing like a murder to bring out the secrets. Look forward to more of this author's work.

The Final Vow (A Living History Museum M...

Krissie dreamed about being a June bride and Krissie got what she wanted. Kelsey had met Krissie one year ago. Kelsey had a notebook that deleted all the things she needed to do in every aspect of her life from running the Barton Farm - a living history museum to raising her six year old son Hayden. Kelsey had learned in the last three months planning Krissie’s wedding that it was always better to collect herself before she responded. Benji was Kelsey’s assistant and he told Krissie all would be fine at her wedding and there would be Civil War reenactors and even Abe Lincoln. Kelsey was surprised when Benji said that  Kelsey could meet him tomorrow.  Krissie was marrying Kelsey’s ex husband. Other than raising her son, saving Barton Farm and all that it could teach people about the past Kelsey’s life mission. Laura’s theory was Krissy stole Kelsey’s ex husband Eddie now she was after Kelsey’s life work. Eddie had  an affair with a married woman when he was with Kelsey. Kelsey’s best friend and farm employee within  was Laura. Laura was always dramatic. Eddie had hired Krissie as a physical therapist at his P T practice and then they started dating. Krissie was eight years younger than Eddie  and as far as Kelsey was concerned Krissie could have Eddie. Kelsey tries to figure people out. There had been murders on the farm grounds and Kelsey almost lost the farm and her son over them. Kelsey’s boyfriend was Chase . Kelsey’s mom died when she was a teen. Kelsey was the director of the farm and had been for the last four years. Someone had signed a directive to the gardener and signed Kelsey’s name and she wasn’t happy about it.

I just couldn’t connect with this story.It did also drag for me. It also didn’t really hold my attention, I am sure others will love this. This story just wasn’t for me.

So I finished the Evans as well as the Netgalley graphic novel, Hoofprints, and two short books.  I also made my way though most of Gentlemen and Players.  Additionally, I read the NYT pretty cover to cover or page to page.

That was fun.

Cleaned up my 'currently reading' shelf.  I dropped Joe Gazzam's book, I couldn't even be bothered, to be quite honest.  Hearing how he made teen sock puppets and then the letter he wrote someone explaining how his nephew or niece was on Goodreads (when she or he was clearly too young) left such a bad taste in my mouth, I couldn't review his book objectively.  I also dropped Harlan Coben's Missing You.  I put it on my currently reading shelf to motivate myself, but it has been a couple weeks and I haven't even opened it on my Kindle.  Not going to even read a chapter, so I removed it from my Kindle.

I have to laugh... Miss A.R. Shaw removed the link to my blog in her post over on the Kindle board and basically compared fellow posters there to 'lemmings':  

"NOTE : Due to the lemming nature of some of our folks here, I've decided to remove the link for their own safety. It was meant as a warning to others. Just please do yourself a favor and DO NOT seek reviews from BLOGGERS. I made this mistake once, just save yourself the trouble." - Annette Shaw

I wonder what folks are going to think of being called a lemming...a reference to folks who unquestioningly follow popular opinion regardless of wisdom or safety... ouch.  Don't worry little lemmings... Miss. Shaw will 'protect' you... *snorts*

My reply to her over at that forum is still being 'moderated'.  

I've added a few new books to my currently reading shelf- the books connected to this post.  I look forward to reading them.  I've started Sky1 and am enjoying it thus far.  Redchapel is just a short by Mike Resnick, but I do enjoy his stories.  I'll update my shelf over at Goodreads later
