Fun to Read!, September 29, 2010
This review is from: Cross Your Heart: A Broken Heart Novel (Broken Heart Vampires) (Mass Market Paperback)
Just like her past books in this series, this book was fun to read. I work hard and enjoy books that let me relax and just enjoy the story line. This is one of those books.
If your looking for historical accuracy, intense characters, or the like....this is not your book.
If you just want a good read that is light hearted, with a little romance thrown in (don't forget the "Vampire" element)....then this will be fun.

More Please!, November 11, 2010
This review is from: Cross Your Heart: A Broken Heart Novel (Broken Heart Vampires) (Mass Market Paperback)
B&N made a wondrous error and handed over my copy of Cross Your Heart the Thursday before its release. Wanna guess what I stayed up Thursday night doing? Take a WILD guess. Yeah, I was up until around 3am reading it straight through. I will go back in the near future and read through it slowly, but I can tell you now that Michele delivered - again - with her Broken Heart series.
The Setting - is still Broken Heart, Oklahoma. A few years have come and gone since everyone became undead and things are sort of settling into a normal routine of sudden-life-or-death and peace-and-quiet. This time around, you get more of a sense of where the town came from; those deep down roots behind why the town is cursed. You know what curse I'm talking about.
The Characters - oh Lord have mercy! It took me a little bit to get into the "hoity-toity" voice of cultured Elizabeth Bretton. I was so used to the sarcastic, down and dirty kind of women like Phoebe and Jessica that Elizabeth kinda threw me at the beginning. I had a scare two chapters in that, *gasp*, I might not like Elizabeth! Never fear. She wins you over though it's totally Tez you're rooting for. Come on, sexy smexy were-jag? And he goes all cave man to her social etiquette. It's a riot on the page. Other staples of the Broken Heart community appear, as well as some distant relations no one ever expected to visit.
The Plot - seven books into a series, a very connected series where each book builds off of another, you really have to wonder what else you can do? But Michele pulls it out of a hat in Cross Your Heart. I was a little skeptical when I read that it was a ghost story, kinda a mystery thing. Mysteries are okay, but I don't usually like them as much as adventure stories. However, there is so much of the history of Broken Heart twined around the mystery that it helps give the whole series a more grounded feel.

Great Addition to Broken Heart Series, January 1, 2012
This review is from: Cross Your Heart: A Broken Heart Novel (Broken Heart Vampires) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're looking for an light and fun paranormal romance, look no further!! "Cross Your Heart" is another great addition to the Broken Heart series by Michelle Bardsley. Elizabeth, a Turned Vampire, meets Tez, a were-jaguar and it's love and lust at first sight. Ghostly attacks, 100 year old bones, and town curses - it can all be found in "Cross Your Heart".
If you looking for an enjoyable read, you found it in this book.
