New book & Review

I finished the Pirate Lord at work. MM. One of those rolls your eyes book. YAY.
Onto book number two. Hopefully this is a wee bit better.
Avon books, from what I noticed are all BORINGLY stupid.

"OH I love you from the moment I saw you. I love you now and forever."
Stay with me. Blahblah. love love love.
GAH ok, we get it shit!

The Pirate Lord itself was just lame, lol.
I bet Mailyn is like, "ok cough up the five bucks. I told you that book sucked."

At first the book was ok, interesting DIFFERENT. Now after reading this book it so ugh annoying.

Hero: Gideon (i know awful name) Horn aka Pirate Horn.
Heroine: Lady Sara Willis

Sarah is a reformer that wanted to document all the tragedies that convicted women go through on ships taking them to new south wales (Australia) To document this case she plans on going with them to Australia. Idiot, stupid dumb, IDIOT. Her stepbrother, who doesn't let the step interfere at all, does not want her to go on the trip. He knows its stupid and ignorant and above all dangerous. But she does a lil pouting and bitching and he lets her go, but without her knowing he hires a sailor to watch over her.
Shes on the ship and she likes the ocean but they have to dock at a island to restock on supplies. They get the supplies. While in the meantime..

Gideon, mr boss pirate, and his men are at this "island" looking for females. All they find is ugly whores that doesn't even want anything to do with them. Gideon and his crew find out that there is a ship nearby. A convict ship full of women. So Gideon waits till Sarah's ship leaves dock to take over the ship and "rescue" the women.
The women on the boat are all frantic. OMG PIRATES. They are gonna rape us. OH noes!!
The pirate proclaim they are rescuing them from a life on Australia. He tells the women we are taking you with us on our boat to marry my men and you will never see your families or friends again, basically.
They women are not pleased ESPECIALLY Lady Sarah. She is the most idiotic female ever. First off this is a full blown pirate who looks like a damn pirate, earing and all, and she has the nerve to bad mouth him.
They have a lil talk and she realizes they are taking them to this island that isn't on the map and is just a "paradise." He names this island Atlantis.
(Ya know. I think Sabrina was going through some weird phase..or maybe it was Avon's fault)
He plans to start a colony on this island and you cannot have an island without females.
Finally they are at this island and it really is a paradise and some women and men are coupling up. All Gideon's plans are working well.
The hired sailor was sent back to the island of whores (where Gideon first saw Sarah's ship) to fend for himself since he was paid off by Gideon. He really went and got Sarah's stepbrother, his employer, to rescue Sarah.
During this whole time, Sarah and Gideon start liking each other.
The hired sailor brought Jordan, Sarah's stepbrother (better name thank the Lord) to the island, then snuck of Sarah back into his ship back to London.
Gideon is elated with love for this woman only to realize she is gone. He goes berserk, you know how that ALWAYS go...
She comes back and they make love and their happy.

*sigh*

reliving it again made me tremor in disgust.

Anyhu, I got the second book, I hope its a lil better than the Pirate Lord. At least I know who the Pirate Lord is now. Him and his gold hoop earing.

I found this while getting book 2 at the book store. It looks so interesting and so touching. I might read it.

When Marines enter an abandoned house in Fallujah, Iraq, and hear a suspicious noise, they clench their weapons, edge around the corner, and prepare to open fire.
What they find during the U.S. led attack on the most dangerous city on Earth, however, is not an insurgent bent on revenge, but a tiny puppy left behind when most of the city's population fled before the bombing. Despite military law that forbids the keeping of pets, the Marines de-flea the pup with kerosene, de-worm him with chewing tobacco, and fill him up on Meals Ready to Eat.
Thus begins the dramatic rescue attempt of a dog named Lava and Lava's rescue of at least one Marine, Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman, from the emotional ravages of war.
From hardened Marines to war-time journalists to endangered Iraqi citizens, From Baghdad, With Love tells an unforgettable true story of an unlikely band of heroes who learn unexpected lessons about life, death, and war from a mangy little flea-ridden refugee.

Aint that just so precious? Into the never ending tbr list it goes.
