I Love it When You Lie by Kristen Byrd

Reblogged from My Bag Of Books:

Many different angles here, that end up in basically the same place. The set up of this book is one of my least favorites, back and forth between four different sisters, in time and circumstance, and each with their own drama, to become a formidable wall, in the end, for one of their own. The story is good, it did take me awhile to get the logic and feel. A different, but good read.

Triple Box set by Jean Stokes

Well I finished four of these books. So glad I did not pay much for this set. Truly awful, if you are looking for steam with no real story line, these are for you.

The Sister Effect by Susan Mallery

Reblogged from My Bag Of Books:

This story hit very close to home. All worked out for these main characters, but seldom does in the real world. Loved this, with the hope that my experience will also, eventually work for the best, but hope is fleeting. Enjoy this read, another hit by Ms. Mallery.

Johanna Porter Is Not Sorry by Sara Read

Reblogged from My Bag Of Books:

 

 

Johanna Porter is a “hot mess”, might be a better title, and she just could not catch a break. But she stood up for her self, made horrible decisions and survived. Loved this harried, furious and heartbroken woman. And loved this book. Definite addition to your TBR list.

Release Day! Grab this one and enjoy!

Too Wrong To Be Right by Melonie Johnson

Reblogged from My Bag Of Books:

 

One of my favorite authors, once again hits out of the park, loved this story. A full selection of trust issues, second guesses and finally finding the correct pathway to the anticipated end. I read some other reviews before starting this and wondered if something had changed, but not so, this read is great and JoJo is a wonderful addition to the pet linage included in this series. Grab this and enjoy.

Love You Now by Julia Kent

Loved this newest addition to the Luview clan. So much sweetness and trauma, rolled into a delightfully beautiful romantic story. We meet Dennis and Ana, who have quite a bit of baggage that must be addressed and who are meant for each other. And then there are the animals, my favorite is, of course, the sugar glider.
“Magic settled into her coveralls pocket, eyes on Dennis as if saying, Pick me. Choose me. Love me.”
I can’t say which of these books are my favorite, love them all. Do not miss this one.

The Apology by Jimin Han

I had trouble keeping interested in this story, I tried, just kept loosing track and finally finished, but so plodding and slow. I just could not enjoy this book. Someone else may love it.

The Block Party by Jamie Day

Long and involved, with an expected ending. Much happening in this particular neighborhood, most not good and some maturing, which was needed. This is a good read, I did find myself wishing it would move along in places. The Wookie, and the Bug Man evidently made the rounds. Lol.

What the Neighbors Saw by Melissa Adelman

Wow, a twisty, turney, crazy story, that covers many diverse and perversely strange group of people, in one exclusive neighborhood. So much happening, yet at times slow moving. Guessed the ultimate secret, but still hung on to see the ending. Good read and whodunnit. Do not miss this one.

The Wedding Confession by JJ Knight

 

Ensley James is my hero! She perseveres throughout her out of balance home life and continues to do so, within her safe life, for herself and her sisters, doing her very best in all that matters to her family and heart. Drew, not so much. Ensley’s child hood crush, is seriously lacking. Loved this new book by JJ Knight, even though, Drew is part of Ensley’s perfect dream. Good read, despite Drew, never found my peace with him.

The Drowning Woman by Robyn Harding

Truly, a twisty, turney mess of deception and darkness. Overall, I found myself feeling depressed and wading through, trying to find some balance in the lives of Lee and Hazel, who both are used and abused as this book progresses. Not my favorite read, but a fast paced story and well written.

Identity by Nora Roberts

Another top read by one of my favorite authors. The first thing I did after starting this book, was check my accounts and credit score, this bad guy, gave me chills. All the feels are here, extreme loss, family, love, romance as expected from a Nora Roberts book, and of course a good dog, lol. Loved this story, it is now part of my favorite Nora Reads. Do not miss this one!

Next Time I Fall by Barbara Freethy

Reblogged from My Bag Of Books:

Another Whisper Lake top read. At this time my new favorite of this series. Chloe and Decker are an interesting and fun couple. With opposite ideas of family and how to address their issues. They make this story a great read. A definite addition to your TBR List.

Tempting the Billionaire by Blair Babylon

Reblogged from My Bag Of Books:

Second Micah Shine book. Loaded with so many different groups of despicable bad guys, it is often difficult to keep them all straight. There is an insight into the world of Arthur Finch-Hatten (from previous books) who called Micah “my best boy”, which I found a little disturbing. Logan, who may or not be a true friend. An exciting read and now we wait for Blaze to find out the true conspiracy. This can be read as a standalone, however, the previous books are helpful, I went back and did a refresher at several points. Excellent read!
