A Bullet For Two ~ Robert Strzalko

A Bullet for TwoA Bullet for Two by Robert Strzalko
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A Bullet for Two was unexpectedly good. The history that was given from Jeb's perspective of the war and Lincoln presidency. This novel was definitely a period piece. Jeb and Summer's relationship as strange as it was it worked. The reader gets a real since of how Strzalko stressed on the main characters to do the right thing in such adversity, with the people literally hunting them. The chase that Strzalko put in this book really carries the novel along. The reader gets so wrapped up in close calls and will Jeb and Summer make it, that you do not realize you are at the end of the novel. Strzalko did an excellent job telling this story in the time set right after the War.

You and Tequila ~ Crystal Donahue

You and TequilaYou and Tequila by Crystal Donahue
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"You and Tequila" is quite a read. I absolutely loved this quirky romance novel by Crystal Donahue. The two main characters Cassel and Will were perfect. Riding the roller coaster that is called Loved and be Damned was great. Donahue really captured the spirit of friends taking that leap of faith and moving their relationship forward to new destinations. She was able to depict the worries that friends have when they want to not necessarily stop the friendship but explore being more than friends.

I absolutely loved that Donahue chose the main female characters name to be Cassal, it is so unique just like the character. Cassal has a real hardworking job but does not let that rule her; she still has a social life. It's like what every woman aspires to have; in balance of course. We've all experienced a bad break up and then a new candidate comes along while that ex is still lingering in the background.

Oh how I wish there was a sequel to this book. Great job Crystal Donahue, great job!
