TiTi Lucy replied. “I tell you it was the grace of God,” she said in an almost whisper. “We all know that I’m not the best driver, but that guy was totally drunk when he hit me. It was a miracle I wasn’t hurt. I ended up getting a nice settlement and a new car. I even took some driving lessons so I wouldn’t wreck Shelli the first week I had her… That’s my car’s name. It’s she pretty?” asked TiTi. They all stared at her new custom luxury SVU with all its sparkle and shook their heads as they smiled.

Review: Embrace

Embrace (The Gryphon Series, book 2) by Stacey Rourke

I give this book a 5.

LoveIt

This second installment of the Gryphon Series was so good; I’m still kicking myself for taking so long to finish it and even longer to review it. I had to go back and refresh myself on the story because so much time had passed, but life happens and things don’t always work out the way you want, something the heroine of this story knows all too well.

Celeste is busy going to school, working a job, training and fighting demons, and being a loving family member. So why would romance even be on her mind? Maybe because she purred at a guy, yea. The underworld has a new leader and a new battle is starting. In the midst of this, apparently, romance is in the air and not just with her…Oh and she has a whole new set of powers that are driving her crazy as well as new “friends” to help or hurt her cause.

I like that this book started right where the other ended and didn’t waste a lot of time trying to catch the reader up on what happened in the first book. I get the feeling, however, that even if I hadn’t read the first book, I would still have been entertained by this one.  I like the Garret family more and more. Even with all their powers, they are still just an average family doing the best they can, but the battle with evil is beginning to take its toll in this tight-knit group. The punches, the laughs, and the tears keep on rolling in this series. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

See my review of book 1 in this series: The Conduit.

“Your sweet little Virgil is my problem,” snapped Teddy. “He’s never late. You know he’s only late because he doesn’t want you to go.”

“Oh Teddy, be nice please,” asked Rebecca.

“Yeah, Teddy,” said Lisa, “be nice.”

“Oh you stay out of this Judas. I thought you were on my side,” Teddy declared.

“I have to spend two weeks abroad with your sister; right now I’m on her side,” explained Lisa, as she made puppy dog faces at him. Finally, there was a frantic knock at the door. TiTi Lucy stood up to answer it. She opened the door and there stood Virgil panting and searching for air, tightly holding onto a small bouquet of yellow roses.
