Mika is a Manx Cat of whom the other cats are jealous as she walks down the street. They come up with a plan to make her humble. Will they carry out their plan? Will Mika let them hurt her?

I liked Mika. She was a cat--proud as them all. I cannot believe the cruelty planned for her by the other cats. I loved that she had a strong self-esteem. I also liked that her self-esteem saw beyond her appearance. This story was too realistic in dealing with jealousy and self-esteem. I'm glad Mika overcame the others.

What Happened in Vegas by Mika Jolie

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Every dark cloud has a silver lining and I've found mine in Mika Jolie. Whether by heart or through humor she can always make me smile. When the heart comes out the gloves come off and the temptation gets explosive. Griff and Chelsea are a cute combination of sweet and sassy that proves itself a welcome edition to my favorites collection.

Hank, The Therapy Dachshund is the perfect children's book for school libraries, dog centered gift shops and dog training facilities. It tells a lovely story about a real Therapy Dog, Hank, and his long life helping others. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer I administer the certification test for Therapy Dogs International and this book is a wonderful way to familiarize children and their adults about the important work these dogs do every day in many situations. I highly recommend this book! 

The touching and true story of Hank, a silver dappled dachshund, who discovers he may have a talent to comfort people as a therapy dog. Does he have the “right stuff”? Grab Hank’s leash and look over his shoulder with author, owner and handler, Mika Ryan, as Hank narrates his heartwarming journey from young pup to old dog. Hank introduces you to his family members along with his real-life dachshund friends. Young readers will discover a variety of dachshund sizes, colors and personalities. Hank spotlights their differences and how he becomes friends with them all. Read about Hank’s challenges as he shares the tests he must pass and the commands he must learn to become a therapy dog. Does Hank have the courage to complete the task? Many children will be able to read this story on their own or with help from an adult. It is also appropriate as a bedtime story for infants and younger children who will enjoy the color, the story and the dog illustrations. This book is the perfect gift for Dachshund fans. However, anyone who loves dogs will find this a sweet and informative book about a little dog with a big personality who lived an extraordinary life.

Hudson is a well known football player.  They are calling him the "King" of New York.  So why would he want to be with River?  Why not?  She is one hot new cheerleader and even though he should stay away - the attraction is overwhelming.

River has no plans to ever date a football player.  When she meets Hudson in person it is like lightning strikes.  She is unable to think, much less move.  Being with a celebrity was never what she wanted, can they find a way to have a future?

This book turned up the heat!  The story moves along quickly, and the characters make it fun.  I loved the chase, and how the MC's felt stunned into wanting each other.  I could not believe how quickly I was hooked.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
