Shine Not Burn By Elle Casey Part 2

Saturday, August 31st-Finished

Confession time: Along with tattooed bad boys, I may...may have a weak spot for cowboys..maybe it's the whole ma'am thing, or the southern gentlemen thing. I'm not sure, but I have to put them into my book boyfriend category.

I thought this book was going to last me at least two days as it was about 300 pages, but I could not put this book down.

Again I fell asleep with my KOBO in my hands, woke up and just continued reading (as I said before, don't judge me).

I loved how this book played out and I thought Elle Casey did a good job describing how true love can make or break important decisions and your supposed feelings.

Throughout the book, there were many a times when I literally LOL'd or almost had a tear rolling down my cheek. (okay I did, but in my defense, some of those tears were out of laughter)

I ended up with 6 pages of highlighted passages, but I will only provide a few of the ones I thought were the best.

"Mike check one! One, one one. Mike check two! Two, two, tow. Mike check three four and close the door. The door, the door. Five and six that's Nikki Sixx. Of Motley Crue and me and you. Mike-a, mike-a, mike-a-phone check, check check...."

"I looked at him confused. "but you told me to take off." he laughed, his round belly jiggling under his shirt. "No, missy, I told you to split, not take off. Split your cards into two separate hands and play them separately."

"My feet are tired. I went to a barn dance last night and stayed up 'til one a.m. Not I'm too pooped to piddle."

"Sometimes you can't appreciate the true beauty of a thing until you've experienced it for yourself"

"If you hold in your gas, if you don't break wind, you can spontaneously combust." She looked at us like we were the stupid ones. "It’s a medical fact, look it up."

"Sometimes, we just have to go where the wind takes us and see where we end up"

"Oh yeah, the old dig-food-schrapnel-out-of-my-beard move. Sexy"

Well done Elle Casey!

Now I am off to find a new book. hmmmm....what will I read????

Until my next Blog...
