Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – 02-16-2024

<— FIRST OFF… LOOKIT WHAT JUST WENT LIVE!!

Debbie: Another great story from Abbi Glines. Love Micah. Just wish she wouldn’t release them in the middle of the week. It is really hard to get any work done.

Sari: Is this an mc book?

Debbie: this story is about a MC, But you should start with Smokeshow. Southern mafia series. The characters from that series make appearances in this book also. And she releases the next book every two months.

Okay and in other news… I JUST GOT MARRIED!!! 😀 I got married on Valentine’s Day and it was the most fun, magical, amazing day (let alone Valentine’s Day) ever.

It was supposed to be just a quick, private/personal union, but we ended up being surrounded by amazing happy couples everywhere. Sunshine, blue skies and a day by the beach. So much love and happiness, and it turned out to be a perfect wedding day!

Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah <— SUPER-SALE ALERT & SO MANY IN OUR CREW LOVED IT!!!

Mona: I’m now reading Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah, it’s KU. I’m about 43% into it and don’t want to put it down. I was expecting paranormal but it’s really not that.

Tasha J: Whoop! I’ve finished Where the Forest Meets the Stars and it was wonderful! Just, perfect. No tears, safe for a cruise read. 😉 Not classified as romance, but does have just what I like! And it’s kindle unlimited… …loved it! I also cast Amy as Tabby, in case you missed that also. No annoyance in hero or heroine. Just a lovely read. Ursa was the star, but I loved Gabe too. And Jo. There are so many little issues I have with descriptions or sappyness or immaturity or dragging or whatever, that this book didn’t have for me. It was refreshing.

Michele G: Tasha, I have to agree with you about your love for Where the Forest Meets the Stars. That was a really special book! It’s hard to put into words…I’m on emotional overload between finishing that this weekend and reading Transcend and Epoch. My poor little heart is in overdrive….

Nancy: …the title (WHERE THE FOREST MEETS THE STARS!) Enchanting, Mysterious, charming, painful secrets, fate left to the stars, five miracles,❤️❤️❤️ are all used to describe the book!

Cat and Mouse Duet by H. D. Carlton <— READERS ARE CRAZY for this duet, and it’s in the TOP 50 ON ALL OF Amazon Kindle right now!

Michelle: …If you have the chance to check it out, I would strongly recommend reading the duet Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline. It is a bit on the darker side, but I believe it’s adds so much to character complexities and overall development. I haven’t read anything like this in a long time to where it’s put me in a book daze, haha…

Megan: Haunting Adeline H.D Carlton. So spicy and dark

Michele: Yay! Thanks Maryse!! Sounds perfect! I love my Dark reads!

Leslie: ohhh it’s amazing!! The second book- Hunting Adeline is stressing me out! I’ve held my breath many times. I have about 10 chapters left and I’m sad because it’s so good
