Kat: Holy crap One Of Us Is Lying … I read it and enjoy the mystery, gave it 4 stars

Ellie: Just downloaded it! Thank you!!

Nay: …I’m listening to One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus (another one whose title and cover reeled me in). It’s YA, which isn’t usually my thing, but it’s a Breakfast Club-y murder mystery, so I’m enjoying it so far…

  • To Keep (The Circle of Monsters Book 1) by Sam Crescent and Stacey Espino <— LIVE!! SHE FALLS FOR HER CAPTOR… “…Skye witnesses a double murder and is forced to run for her life. She doesn’t know how she’ll survive, but she’ll do anything to live another day. When contracts are taken out on her life, her only hope is a rival assassin determined to use her as collateral. It’s not the best situation but at least she’s safe for now. Things get immeasurably more complicated when she starts to fall for her captor...”
  • Braved (Covington Security Book 9) by Dr. Rebecca Sharp <— LIVE!!
  • Theo (Silver Team Book 1) by Riley Edwards <— LIVE!!
  • Limits by Susie Tate <— SUPER-BARGAIN!! SHE’S CONFINED WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS & IS SECRETLY CRUSHING ON HIM.. “…When she watches him she wishes she could be normal; she wishes she could be like the people he interacts with so seamlessly. Pavlos Martakis is her complete and total opposite: physically intimidating, likable, naturally attractive, extremely confident, sexually promiscuous: the most uninhibited, charming, outgoing and free person she has ever encountered in her life. He fascinates Millie; thrills and intimidates her in equal measure. But, as the culprit behind the invention of her nickname Nuclear Winter, Millie knows that if Pav feels anything for her it is more than likely contempt. Cold, boring, robotic: that is how the rest of the hospital sees her. So she can safely watch him from afar...”

Cheryl: I loved all Susie Tate’s books

Melinda: winter rose is soo good. I loved it. It’s a long book though. 700 pages of paper version. There’s also the tea rose by the same author that’s the first book. Then I think it’s the wild rose. Jennifer Donnelly is the author.

I gave it to my sister inlaw to read and she could stop raving how good it was.

  • Hello Doctor by Kelsie Hoss <— LIVE!! HE NEEDS A LIVE-IN NANNY FOR HIS DAUGHTER! “…He’s the hot, newly single doctor who just moved back to his hometown, hoping to find some stability for his daughter. Meanwhile, I’m a hot mess, just fired from my job and ousted from company housing. I’m living in my old bedroom and trying to get my appointments in before my insurance runs out along with what little is left of my money. That’s when Fletcher tells me we may be able to help each other out. He needs a live-in nanny for his daughter over the summer, and the last three have quit after a day…”
  • The Temp by Donna Jay <— LIVE!!
  • Wind with a Chance of Wolfsbane: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Romance Novel (Grimm Cove Book 6) by Mandy M. Roth <— LIVE!!
  • Lock & Key: Motorcycle Club Romance (Lock & Key MC Romance Book 1) by Cat Porter <— BLAST FROM OUR PAST!! DANETTE’S BOOK BOYFRIEND & LISA BEGS US TO READ THESE!!

Danette: Can’t recommend Lock & Key and Random and Rare enough. Truly two of my most favorite books EVER. Dig may be my most favorite Book Boyfriend of all time. Dare I say, I may love him even more than Travis (??). The epilogue in R & R is nothing short of poetry. Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Lisa: Danette! I know what you mean….I adored Dig. In Lock & Key he came across cocky and full of bravado but being in his head in thw second book just broke my heart!! Head over heels in love with him. I could barely read the epilogue for the welling tears.

Lisa: Maryse and co…i just read Lock and Key and the followup Random and Rare by Cat Porter.
I know theyre oldies and perhaps everyone else has already read them BUT if you haven’t PLEASE PLEASE read these books.

I am wrecked, wrung out and emotionally drained. Dig’s story (*spoiler*) in Random and Rare has ruined me. Eleventy billion stars for me and some of the best biker books Ive read… Dig will break your heart even more than Havoc (Susan Fanetti).

*shuddery sigh*

Lisa: I think Lock and Key’s second story was the gut puncher for me….Random and Rare. I will NEVER forget that book! It did a number on me. Like… I would find myself tearing up at traffic lights when my mind wandered back to that book…or, inconveniently, while supermarket shopping!! Lets blame it on silly mid life hormones but ‘it ruined me’ is an understatement.

  • Camera Shy by Kay Cove <— LIVE!! HER BOYFRIEND DUMPS HER BECAUSE OF THEIR BLAND SEX LIFE! “…When an opportunity arises to spend my summer in Las Vegas, I stumble upon my hot new neighbor and his photography studio. We strike a simple deal. He’s the teacher, and I’m his student. My lesson is learning to love the body I have. In exchange, I’m going to save his business. I have exactly one summer to unearth the most confident version of myself before I go home and return to reality. But after a passion-fueled summer, I’m not sure of who I am anymore, and it’s clear that the worst heartbreak of my life might still be yet to come…“
  • Season of Malice: An Age Gap, Russian Bratva Billionaire Romance (The Bratva) by Lisa Cullen <— LIVE!!
  • Outlaw’s Promise by Helena Newbury  <— NANCY LOVED IT!

Nancy: I read this week OUTLAW’S PROMISE by Helena Newbury and you can read it free with Prime.
OUTLAW’S PROMISE by Helena Newbury is an action-packed MC book. It’s a bit darker than the other books I have read by this author. But then most MC books are darker. Their clubs are not the Boy Scouts. There is not a dull moment throughout the book.

bev: Got a bit distracted by a different book this morn. Forgot I downloaded it until I went to look at my phone this morn. Been reading it since.

It’s YA, I guess though they are both out of high school. Honor ‘ s brother was a marine who died in combat. The story starts at his funeral. He sent her a letter that she gets after he dies. It had two tickets to a concert for her to go to & a road trip in his classic impala before heading to college.

His ex best friend, Rusty, invites himself on the road trip. He is sort of the Texas good ol’boy/bad boy, lol. Think i read that he was based off of Riggins from Friday Night Lights. It’s only her pov and really good so far.

Just under 200 pages so will probably finish today. Love a road trip book. In Honor by Jessi Kirby.

Alice: The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese ebook is on sale… Not super cheap but this one is being called one of the best books of the year.
