Once Upon a Tinder by Dr Ann Donnelly

Genre - Self Help

Rating - 2 out of 5 stars

Ok let me start out by saying this book has some good advice in it. In fact advice I wish I had know before my foray into dating apps. Yes I use a dating app but have been on and off it for a while. I somehow always seem to find the non desirables.

Now about the book. She has good advice about how to choose a man on a dating app and how to tell the losers. She also keeps telling the person reading the book to put themselves first. Which is good advice in any situation. She also talks a lot about how to find a good man and keep him. 

She talks about not being negative all the time and not to be a whiny person. Guys are totally turned off when women are like that. Same with ladies. She tries to keep the book gender neutral but you can tell it is aimed more towards women. So that was one of the reasons for the low rating.

Now for the reason I gave it a lower rating than I normally give something I am reviewing. I hate giving a low rating! She seems to be a bit obsessed with sexual relationships. She sleeps with most of the men on the first or second date. Even if she knows it will be a short term relationship.

To give her credit she does say in the beginning of the book that she will talk about sex but I don’t think I really realized how much she would talk about it. She even talks about getting a pole and hiring a pole dance instructor. While I am no prude I think that some of this could have been left out.

She does advocate safe sex and caution when sleeping with someone new. Also she tells some of the changes that happen when your body starts to age. I believe sex in a heathy relationship is good but it seemed like that was more of focus of this book than how to find someone through a dating app.

Just this reviewers opinion. NetGalley gave me this book to do an honest review on it and that is what I am doing.

Review of author Christine K. Fields

Genre Children’s Books I read three books by this author and all three were 5 star reads for children! I read Alphabet Stuff With Nuff, Saving Money Makes Cents,  Teamwork Makes Dream Work all by this author.  The Alphabet Stuff With Nuff book is a great way to get pre-K kids excited about learning letters and counting. It is all done in rhyme and had me laughing in parts. I would recommend the adult read through it a couple of times before reading it to their children. There are some wicked twisters in this one. The goal is to get your children to learn their alphabet and simple counting while you read the book. They have to count each time that letter comes and add them up. The answers of the number of letters in each rhyme are thankfully in the back of the book. The other two books I would say are more of kindergarten age book, One teaches about saving money and how fast it goes if you don’t pay attention. Something I have to say I have not learned at my age. This is perfec...

Windswept by Annabelle McCormack

Windswept Saga Book 1 Narrated by Elizabeth Grace Genre - Intrigue, Mystery, Romance Rating - 5 out of 5 Narration Rating - 5 out of 5 This book had me hooked from the beginning. It was so full of twist, turns, and mysterious circumstances that it just grabbed me in and I hated to stop listening even for bed. This book is sent in 1917 during WWI in Egypt. It has a lot of different characters but they are very easy to follow. It is about a woman thrown into a world of murder and mayhem in the war-ravaged Arabian desert where one wrong turn can get you killed. She has no clue who to trust and people keep showing up telling her that she can trust them but she has no idea which one is telling the truth. I have to give a shout-out to the narrator for keeping the book flowing and also her wide range of voices for each character. I think that is why while listening to this book I could keep each person separate.  I would highly recommend this book in audiobook format or book f...

A Cowboy Christmas Legend by Linda Broday

Genre - Christmas Fiction Rating - 5 out of 5 stars I picked out this book because of my ongoing obsession with cowboys. Plus I wanted to get into the Christmas spirit early this year. This book definitely didn’t disappoint.  This book is about a Texas Ranger running from grief and a women coming to grips with her own past. As they work together they end up bonding together to help rescue and take care of a Mother and her two children plus helping with a case for the Texas Rangers. The plot is a very stereotypical romance but it did not disappoint. With all the happy endings that we all look for at Christmas time. So if you are looking for a nice easy Christmas book to read I would definitely recommend this steamy Christmas read.
