So lets get to it!
Last Week at Paperback Dolls…
On Sunday Day reviewed Kiss of Frost by Jennifer Estep
Logan Quinn was trying to kill me. My Spartan classmate relentlessly pursued me, swinging his sword at me over and over again, the shining silver blade inching closer to my throat every time. A smile tugged up his lips, and his ice-blue eyes practically glowed with the thrill of battle…
I’m Gwen Frost, a second-year warrior-in-training at Mythos Academy, and I have no idea how I’m going to survive the rest of the semester. One day, I’m getting schooled in swordplay by the guy who broke my heart—the drop-dead gorgeous Logan who slays me every time. Then, an invisible archer in the Library of Antiquities decides to use me for target practice. And now, I find out that someone at the academy is really a Reaper bad guy who wants me dead.

On Monday author Ashley March was here with a Guest Blog and Giveaway for Romancing the Countess
On Tuesday Steph reviewed The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.
True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead. Read her review Here
Then on Wednesday Doll Believer reviewed White Tiger by Kylie Chan
Emma Donahoe is working as an English teacher at a pre-school in Hong Kong when she is offered a position as a nanny in the household of the wealthy and reclusive John Chen. The salary is amazing, John’s daughter is her favorite pupil at the pre-school, and John Chen is a hunk. Emma can’t believe her luck! As the story unfolds, we follow Emma’s life during her first year of employment for the mysterious John Chen and her journey into Chinese mysticism, the martial arts, a tormented relationship, and Chinese demon hunting.
