Feature & Follow is a weekly post hosted by  Parakunkee  and  Alison Can Read . "The goal is to increase followers and make new friends." The Rules: Follow the 2 hosts. Follow the 2 features (new each week). Hop around and follow others that are participating, leaving a comment to let them know. Answer this week's question in your own blog post. This week's question: How do you write your reviews? I don't have any set complicated method to writing my reviews. I write them pretty much immediately after I've finished reading the book because I am likely to forget details and my initial thoughts, reactions and feelings if I wait more than a day. I go with my gut instinct when it comes to my final rating. I try to be honest about what I did and didn't like. So yeah, that pretty much sums up how I write my reviews. What about you? Do you have a method? I'm curious to see the various ways others interpreted this question....

But the object of his affection barely acknowledges his existence. Worse: She acts like he’s the dirt sticking to the bottom of her shoe. Weaker men might give up. But not Cal.

Hyde #1 By: Lauren Stewart Published: July 8, 2012 by Off The Hook Publishing 377 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon   FREEBIE,  at time of posting) Summary: This novel is intended for adults only. HYDE was inspired by Stevenson's novella but is not a retelling, in part because he and this author have very different definitions of 'bad boy'. Honesty is impossible when you don't know the truth to begin with. Mitchell Turner is everything women want most in a man--he's charismatic, successful, and undeniably gorgeous. But he's not a man--he's a monster. By venting his rage 24/7, Mitch keeps people out of the danger zone that surrounds him. But, after the most incredible night of his life, he realizes that might not be possible. Except the woman he wakes up with claims she doesn't remember any of it. And that kind of thing can make a guy insecure. Eden Colfax is kind, loyal, honest to a fault, and cavity-induc...
