  • The Divorce Club on June 25, 2011
    star star star star star
    I purchased this eBook at smashwords and loved it. It's so funny and brilliantly written. Jayde Scott is a fantastic writer, who always adds humour and whit to all of her stories. This story tells of the struggles of a young mother, whose husband takes off with a younger woman, leaving Sarah to bring up their thirteen-year-old daughter on her own. Her husband is a big rat, who wants his cake and to eat it too, though he refuses to pay anything towards his daughter's upkeep. Sarah's had enough of his selfish ways and has to find a way to make a living on her own. Angry at all men, she comes up with a brilliant idea to get back at them as well as make money. She teams up with her best friend, Mel, and together they open a Divorce Club to help women to obtain a divorce as well as get revenge on lying and cheating husbands. There's a funny variety of characters who join their club and all with different reasons, but when a man signs up, Sarah wonders what the hell he's up to. She certainly wasn't expecting a man to join, but can't discriminate, plus he's so attractive, she can't help falling for him. Things get harder for Sarah when her daughter starts blaming her for the split with her ex. The clients don't all agree and Sarah wonders what she's got herself into. The story takes many twists and has you wondering what will happen next. There's a stalker, who terrifies her, overwhelming work demands, bringing up a difficult teenager, falling for a man she's not sure she can trust, plus her ex making even more problems. If you want a good chuckle, you'll enjoy this book, especially if you liked the movie The First Wives Club.
  • The best laid plans: journeying around Western Canada on July 07, 2011
    star star star star star
    I would love to visit Canada one day, so I bought this travel book. Plus the title and cover grabbed my attention. I was so glad I did because this story is much more than a travel log or diary, it's full of humour and extremely well written. The chapter about Grizzly bears was wonderful and I loved reading about this couple's ups and downs throughout their travels. Well worth the money. I recommend it to anyone travelling to Canada or anywhere else in the world. The humour will keep you laughing right to the very end and there are so many links to check out all through the book. Good value.
  • Beelzebub Girl (Ancient Legends Book 2) on July 15, 2011
    star star star star star
    I read the first book in this series and wanted to read more, plus the cover of this book really caught my attention. I’m so glad that I bought it because I absolutely love it. I loved Cassandra in the first series so couldn't wait to read this one. I love that she's the daughter of the Devil and her home is Hell. Wonderful. She has to break a curse in order to escape. It’s sort of a Star-Crossed lovers as she falls in love with a mortal. Cass is a cunning little fox and quite hilarious, though very naughty. I love the tiny devil that sits on her shoulder annoying her. I enjoyed the first book and this one is just as good. Loved the surprise ending too. The story is fast paced and has you on the edge of your seat. Fantastic. Can’t wait till the next one. Jayde Scott is a fantastic author.

    What a great idea for a children's book. I have pre-school grandchildren and they loved this book. They especially liked the different body parts of the animals popping and out. what a great way for the little ones to learn. I have my grandkids with me today and they giggled with delight when I read it to them. Wonderful illustrations. I recommend this book for pre-school children and their parents and grandparents.
  • Winter's Captive on Jan. 06, 2012
    star star star star star
    I really enjoyed this story. It starts with Georgia's world falling from under her when her husband gets another woman pregnant and runs off with her. Georgia goes into a deep depression, but summons the strength to leave and visit her best friend. On her way, she finds out that she's also pregnant to her scoundrel of a husband but is determined to keep it. The dialogue and thought here are quite hilarious and will appeal to all wronged women. Just before her trip she witnesses a robbery and is kidnapped by the crooks. Tied up in the back of their smelly car, she overhears them plotting to kill her while they think she's asleep, so as soon as they stop for a toilet break, Georgia summons up her courage and manages to escape. Trouble is, she ends up in the wilderness with no food, car, money or anything at all except the baby she's carrying. With the crooks still looking for her, she runs into the snow and the wilderness not knowing what will become of her or how she or her baby will survive with no food. The setting is fabulous and actually makes you feel cold and hungry.
  • Dead And Beyond (Ancient Legends Book 4) on March 11, 2012
    star star star star star
    What a fantastic story. If you're into Vampire thrillers with a touch of steamy romance, this book is for you. Amber Reed, a so-called psychic with the ability to communicate with dead humans as well as supernatural beings, is highly sought after in the paranormal world. When her best friend called Angel disappears, a Shadow turns up at Amber's door, asking for help to solve the mystery. Amber's confused because she's a newly turned vampire, plagued by visions she doesn’t understand and burdened with an uncontrollable craving for blood. Plus she’s worried that her boyfriend, Aidan, is not what he appears to be. To figure out what’s going on, she turns to her boyfriend’s archenemy, Devon, hoping he can help her to understand what’s happening to her mind and body. To add more confusion, Amber’s home seems to be haunted by something evil, but as she tries to escape the insanity of it all, she’s lured in by Devon’s charm. Though she tries to resists his flirtations, it proves harder than anticipated. Amber’s heart sinks with despair when she finds proof that her boyfriend, Aidan, has indeed kept a terrible secret from her, one that could risk her life as well as their relationship and future together. Now, she wonders if there is still a future with her soul mate, after all, it now seems that she’s the root of all their problems. A well written book filled with mystery, suspense and steamy romance. Though Amber's strong, she’s also a bit of a klutz, which is a hilarious combination and I found her quite endearing. The twists and turns kept coming and had me on the edge of my seat. A great read and I highly recommend it.
  • The Adventures of the Frog Prince on July 09, 2012
    star star star star star
    Hilarious fairy-tail where a prince is turned in to a frog by some unknown person after he was meant to chose a bride. This story is well written and full of humour as the frog sets off to find out who turned him into a frog, and why. The cover gives the impression that the book is for young children, but it's probably better suited to older readers because of the large words and long sentences. Plus the lisp in the dialogue of one of the characters would be a little hard for five to seven year-olds to figure out. However, if it was read to them by someone older, they'd laugh out loud and so would the reader. This book would be perfect for kids over eight, teens, and adults who enjoy fairy-tails. I enjoyed reading it and liked how the author threw in a few morals here and there without being obvious. There's many a twist and turn and the ending was a surprise to me. J. R. Barker has a great way with words and I look forward to reading more of her work.
