Significance (Signifiance #1): Shelly Crane

 Purchase Signifiance

Significance was the first Shelly Crane book I read. I loved it, and have re-read the series time after time! I generally do not fall for the "love at first sight" books because they are usually not that believable. Not the case with Significance! Getting a look inside the characters' heads and understanding why they are feeling the way they are and what they're going through together made me love the story so much more.

Soulmates Maggie and Caleb meet by chance and are drawn to each other immediately. Neither knows what it is about the other that draws them closer, but soon they are permanently linked. They are both endearing people with nicely fleshed out character development. I always appreciate the effort that Shelly puts out when creating her stars and supporting roles, so much so that I would absolutely read any spinoff she would ever do for this series (even one for Kyle, and that's saying a lot, considering my extreme dislike of him for most of the series. He really needs additional redeeming qualities, in my opinion. Do not get me started on him! Though he saddens me, because he had potential to be a great guy, but he chose to be bitter instead. His later self-flagellation didn't being me back to him like I wanted to. I thought more "too little, too late." Not on Ms. Crane's part, just the character himself. There will never be any author-bashing here).


I have enjoyed the series so far and cannot wait for the final book, Independence. Shelly, keep up the good work! Your stories are heartwarming and your boys swoonworthy! Such a great combo!

Blog Re-vamp

It's official - I have a purpose in the blogosphere. I am now a book blogger.

It's the easiest thing I consistently keep up with and thoroughly enjoy, and it gives me an opportunity to review independent authors who probably have not been advertised as much as the average Stephen King-esque author.

You'll still hear about my music escapades and the occasional drama, but mostly... books!

Look for some reviews very soon!
