Last Week on Paperback Dolls…
Monday, Noa reviewed Inhale by Kendall Grey
After years of suffocating under her boss’s scrutiny, whale biologist Zoe Morgan finally lands a job as director of a tagging project in Hervey Bay, Australia. Success Down Under all but guarantees her the promotion of a lifetime, and Zoe won’t let anything—or anyone—stand in her way. Not the whale voices she suddenly hears in her head, not the ex who won’t take no for an answer, and especially not the gorgeous figment of her imagination who keeps saving her from the fiery hell of her dreams.
Gavin Cassidy hasn’t been called to help a human Wyldling in over a year, which is fine by him. Still blaming himself for the death of his partner, he keeps the guilt at bay by indulging in every excess his rock star persona affords. That is, until he’s summoned to protect Zoe from hungry Fyre Elementals and learns his new charge is the key to restoring order in the dying Dreaming. He never expects to fall for the feisty Dr. Morgan…nor does he realize he may have to sacrifice the woman he loves to save an entire country.

Thursday Lil reviewed an ARC review of Jill Shalvis’ Lucky in Love!
Mallory Quinn has had enough of playing it safe. As a nurse and devoted daughter, she takes care of everyone but herself. And as the local good girl, she’s expected to date Mr. Right. But for once, she’d like to take a risk on Mr. Wrong. And who could be more wrong than Ty Garrison? The mysterious new guy in town has made it clear that he’s only passing through, which suits Mallory just fine. Besides, his lean, hard body and sexy smile will give her plenty to remember once he’s gone…
For the first time in his life, Ty can’t bear to leave. Helping this sexy seductress-in-training walk on the wild side is making him desire things he shouldn’t — including leaving the military for good. As their just-for-fun fling becomes something more, Mallory and Ty wonder if they could really be this lucky in love. After all…anything can happen in a town called Lucky Harbor.
On Friday, 10 Dolls reviewed Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
When literature student Anastasia Steele is drafted to interview the successful young entrepreneur Christian Grey for her campus magazine, she finds him attractive, enigmatic and intimidating. Convinced their meeting went badly, she tries to put Grey out of her mind – until he happens to turn up at the out-of-town hardware store where she works part-time.
The unworldly, innocent Ana is shocked to realize she wants this man, and when he warns her to keep her distance it only makes her more desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her – but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success – his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving adoptive family – Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a passionate, physical and daring affair, Ana learns more about her own dark desires, as well as the Christian Grey hidden away from public scrutiny.
Can their relationship transcend physical passion? Will Ana find it in herself to submit to the self-indulgent Master? And if she does, will she still love what she finds?
Finally, on Saturday Mona’s On My Wishlist

Next Week on Paperback Dolls…
Monday, it’s Book Blogging Confessions!
Then, Lady Maggie’s Secret Scandal author Grace Burrowes is visiting!
Read Kitt’s review of Lady Maggie’s Secret Scandal Here.
Tuesday, Chrissy will be reviewing The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender.
The wondrous Aimee Bender conjures the lush and moving story of a girl whose magical gift is really a devastating curse.
On the eve of her ninth birthday, unassuming Rose Edelstein, a girl at the periphery of schoolyard games and her distracted parents’ attention, bites into her mother’s homemade lemon-chocolate cake and discovers she has a magical gift: she can taste her mother’s emotions in the cake. She discovers this gift to her horror, for her mother—her cheerful, good-with-crafts, can-do mother—tastes of despair and desperation. Suddenly, and for the rest of her life, food becomes a peril and a threat to Rose.
The curse her gift has bestowed is the secret knowledge all families keep hidden—her mother’s life outside the home, her father’s detachment, her brother’s clash with the world. Yet as Rose grows up she learns to harness her gift and becomes aware that there are secrets even her taste buds cannot discern.
Wednesday, Noa and Kitt will be reviewing an ARC of A Night Like This by Julia Quinn, due for release May 29, 2012
Anne Wynter might not be who she says she is…
But she’s managing quite well as a governess to three highborn young ladies. Her job can be a challenge — in a single week she finds herself hiding in a closet full of tubas, playing an evil queen in a play that might be a tragedy (or might be a comedy—no one is sure), and tending to the wounds of the oh-so-dashing Earl of Winstead. After years of dodging unwanted advances, he’s the first man who has truly tempted her, and it’s getting harder and harder to remind herself that a governess has no business flirting with a nobleman.
Daniel Smythe-Smith might be in mortal danger…
But that’s not going to stop the young earl from falling in love. And when he spies a mysterious woman at his family’s annual musicale, he vows to pursue her, even if that means spending his days with a ten-year-old who thinks she’s a unicorn. But Daniel has an enemy, one who has vowed to see him dead. And when Anne is thrown into peril, he will stop at nothing to ensure their happy ending…
Thursday, Mona will be reviewing A Warrior’s Promise by Donna Fletcher.
It has been prophesied that four men, raised as brothers, will bring Scotland back to glory. The third one will first endure a lesson in humility—and passion.
Charlotte is as brave as any Highland warrior, but she can’t rescue her father alone. Her sweet face could convince any man to come to her aid, but fate has a funny way of complicating things. For when she is lucky enough to land at the feet of the mighty Bryce MacAlpin, Charlotte is in disguise . . . as Charles.
Bryce can afford no distractions on his vital quest to restore Scotland’s true king to the throne. It is madness to instead give his help to this desperate urchin— especially after Charlotte’s secret comes to light! Now, caught between a growing passion and his dedication to the king, will Bryce turn away from love in order to fulfill his quest? Or will he discover that promising your heart is the bravest mission of all?
Friday, Kitt will review A Blood Seduction by Pamela Palmer.
Vampires live only for lust and pleasure in the eternal twilight of Vamp City. But the city’s magic is dying. The only person who can restore it? A beautiful woman from the mortal world…one who knows nothing of the power she wields.
Quinn Lennox is searching for a missing friend when she stumbles into a dark otherworld that only she can see—and finds herself at the mercy of Arturo Mazza, a dangerously handsome vampire whose wicked kiss will save her, enslave her, bewitch her, and betray her.
What Arturo can’t do is forget about her—any more than Quinn can control her own feelings for him. Neither one can let desire get in the way of their mission—his to save his people, hers to save herself.
But there is no escape from desire in a city built for seduction, where passion flows hot and blood-red. Welcome to Vamp City…
Finally, on Saturday, it’s Noa’s turn to take part in the On My Wishlist feature!

My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find most of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for.
Would you offer guest writers to write content in your
case? I wouldn’t mind publishing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome web log!
My partner and I stumbled over here by a different web address and thought I should check things out. I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to going over your web page yet again.
I really like what you guys are up too. This kind of clever work and exposure! Keep up the amazing works guys I’ve added you guys to my own
blogroll.
Greetings I am so happy I found your blog page, I really found you
by accident, while I was researching on Askjeeve
for something else, Anyhow I am here now and would just
like to say thanks a lot for a remarkable post and a all round entertaining
blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time
to read it all at the moment but I have saved it and also added in your RSS feeds,
so when I have time I will be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep up the excellent job.
Admiring the dedication you put into your site and in depth information you provide.
It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted rehashed information.
Wonderful read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds
to my Google account.
Greetings! I’ve been following your blog for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Houston Texas! Just wanted to say keep up the excellent work!
I am really enjoying the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A handful of my blog readers have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this problem?
I’m curious to find out what blog platform you happen to be utilizing?
I’m having some minor security problems with my latest site and I would like to find something more secure. Do you have any suggestions?
Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any tips for inexperienced blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get
that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and
appearance. I must say that you’ve done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Opera. Excellent Blog!
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your site? My website is in the very same area of interest as yours and my visitors would truly benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Regards!
Hi would you mind letting me know which web host you’re working with?
I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a reasonable price? Thank you, I appreciate it!
Awesome website you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics talked about in this article? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get suggestions from other experienced people that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Thanks!
Hey! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to
give a quick shout out and say I really enjoy reading your articles.
Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that
deal with the same topics? Thanks a lot!
Do you have a spam issue on this website; I also am a blogger, and I was
wanting to know your situation; we have developed some nice procedures and we are looking to swap strategies with
others, please shoot me an e-mail if interested.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your blog. You have some really great posts and I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d love
to write some content for your blog in exchange for a
link back to mine. Please shoot me an email if interested.
Cheers!
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and everything. But think about if you added some great images or videos to give your posts
more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and
clips, this site could definitely be one of the
very best in its niche. Amazing blog!
Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really
make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your
theme. With thanks
Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start
my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking
for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
The style and design look great though! Hope you
get the issue solved soon. Many thanks
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.
Have you ever considered publishing an ebook or guest authoring
on other websites? I have a blog based on the same information you discuss and would really like to have you
share some stories/information. I know my subscribers would enjoy your work.
If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
Hey! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to take a look. I’m
definitely loving the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Superb blog and great design.
Amazing blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally
overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Bless you!
My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on several websites for about
a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Does your site have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d
like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.
It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d most certainly donate
to this brilliant blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will share this blog with my Facebook group. Talk soon!
Greetings from Los angeles! I’m bored at work so I decided to check out your
blog on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the
knowledge you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how quick your
blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, awesome site!
Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
Right now it looks like Movable Type is the top blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that
what you are using on your blog?
Wonderful post however , I was wondering if you could write a
litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Many thanks!
Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the
same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one? Thanks a lot!
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Bless you!
Hey there! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a team of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us valuable information to work on. You have done a outstanding job!
Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed
up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another
platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Hello there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this article to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me
mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.
This design is steller! You certainly know how to keep a
reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really enjoyed what you had to say,
and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it
much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often.
Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Great work!
Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Nonetheless, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be
bookmarking and checking back frequently!
Hello! Would you mind if I share your blog with my twitter group?
There’s a lot of folks that I think would really enjoy your content. Please let me know. Many thanks
Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!
Sweet blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve
been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Many thanks
Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance
from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks
Hi! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you
know how to make your site mobile friendly? My
weblog looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Cheers!
I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up! I’ll
go ahead and bookmark your site to come back down
the road. Many thanks
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme.
Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
Plz respond as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from. thanks a lot
Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a entirely different subject but it has pretty much the same
page layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!
Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the
pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think
its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.
Howdy are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new
to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you require any coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!
Hey there this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a
blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no data backup.
Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
Hi there! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok. I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates.
Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on.
Any suggestions?
Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO?
I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains.
If you know of any please share. Thank you!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I’m
assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not sure why but this blog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Hey! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone! Just wanted to say I love reading your blog and look forward to all your posts! Carry on the outstanding work!
Wow that was odd. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say wonderful blog!
