LOOK WHAT JUST WENT LIVE
!!!
Book Review – Mr. Right-Swipe by Ricki Schultz
Mr. Right-Swipe
I was intrigued by the premise of this one, and pulled it out of my paperback pile. Yep! I had an ARC, and I was totally in the mood for an “adult” story (and by adult, I mean characters in their late 20s-40s, life already on a roll… or a tailspin). 😉
I wanted something less melodramatic and more… pragmatic. LOL! I dunno.
You know I love my angst and drama, but I was in the mood for something a little lighter with a realistic twist, and I was all to0 happy to jump in. And this one was sort of a rom-com to boot, so the upbeat feel was just what I needed.
Book Review – The Thinnest Air by Minka Kent
The Thinnest Air
<— Oh boy how I DO enjoy this author’s twisted, psychological thrilling mind. 😉 And I especially love how I can never guess right when it comes to her stories. It was my Kindle First choice this month, so it’s not “officially released”, but if you have Amazon Prime, you can select this one, if you haven’t already!
Maryse: I needed another psych-thriller and devoured this one in pretty much 24 hours: “The Thinnest Air” by Minka Kent and yep!! It got me. LOL. I really couldn’t put it down. Not the craziest most shocking-exciting book ever, but had me guessing right to the end.
Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – June 15th 2018

SATURDAY BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!!!!!!
bev: Stayed up past two reading Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil. I’m still thinking about the characters… …Right book at the right time and just so good. Some one has to read Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil. Cmon, you know you all want to.
Tasha: I finished Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil. I agree with Bev, more people need to read this book!! It starts off with a bang and doesn’t let up. I didn’t want to put it down. It’s incredibly powerful and moving. I had tears, many times for the unfairness of it all. And chills a couple times, and some laughs too. I also liked following the mystery and clues to what happened.
There were tons of characters, but I didn’t have any trouble following what was going on. They were very well constructed and I felt deeply for all of them. This book is definitely going on my favorites of 2017 list!
…Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil. I think you would love it! It has all the feels..
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!! The weekend is mine and I shall be reading!!!! YAY ME!!!
I just finished a book that I’ll be reviewing in just a bit (kept me guessing to the very end), and I’m already into another that I’ll be reviewing in a day or so.
But in the meantime…
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND FOR THE WEEKEND
!!
- The Varlet and the Voyeur (Rugby Book 4) by Penny Reid & L.H. Cosway <— THE LATEST BY PENNY REID & L.H. COSWAY IS LIVE!!! And it’s on Kindle Unlimited too! 😀 “…What he needs is a companion to keep him on the right path. What she needs is an apartment with free rent. Will is convinced Josey will make the perfect companion, since she’s brutally honest and basically ‘just one of the guys.’ Josey is convinced she can ensure Will doesn’t succumb to his voyeuristic proclivities by keeping a scrupulous eye on him…“
D.G.: I just LOVE this series! I was ‘hooked’ *laughs at myself* on the Hooker and the Hermit….a bold alpha and a shy h….and then comes along the OTHER story. And I ABSOLUTELY LOVED that we got to see a different side of the ‘bad boy/troublemaker’ from book one! He is huge….most definitely…..he is a hottie…no doubt….he lacks certain skills behind closed doors….unfortunately! This was definitely a first for me where the H was not amazing and even he knew he was not!
Reckoning (Vincent and Eve Book 2) by Jessica Ruben <— ANGSTY & DARK SOUNDING TRILOGY!!! She’s trying to escape her dangerous city… and then meets a fighter.
Angie: SOOOOO excited about this! GAH
Autumn: AHHH!!! I hope you read RISING! I think you’ll love it! xo
Susan: I loved Rising!!!!!!
Leaving to Stay: A Bad Boy Rock Star Babies Romance (Baby Fever Book 1) by Nicole Casey <— HE LEFT HER TO BECOME A FAMOUS ROCK STAR... “…Fate brings us back together. And when she comes back into my life, It’s like no years have passed. I’m addicted again, but this time I’m hooked on her. And then she whispers something that turns my world upside down …She has two twin babies, and I’m their Daddy…”- Whispers at Seaside (Sweet with Heat: Seaside Summers) by Addison Cole <— SINGLE MOM HAS A CRUSH ON HER BOSS’S SON… “Having a mad crush on her boss’s son, Matt Lacroux—an intriguing mix of proper gentleman and flirtatious bad boy—is probably not the smartest idea for single mother Mira Savage. Especially when the company, and her job, is already on shaky ground. But as a Princeton professor, Matt’s life is hours away from Mira’s home on Cape Cod, keeping him safely in the fantasy-only zone. And as a single mother to six-year-old Hagen, with a floundering company to save, fantasies are all she has time for…”
Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas <— Ashley has a whole SLEW of recent favorites for us! Recommendations for MOST of our moods and favorite book genres… SEE BELOW:
Ashley:
- This weekend I reread Birthday Girl….it’s just so good. It’s my top read so far this year.
- I read Unbreak My Heart (Fostering Love) because it kept popping up on the blog and OH BOY that was amazing.
- I also read Arrogant Devil which is the perfect bully book. It’s funny and I loved the heroine and it has a sassy grandma (WHO doesn’t like a sassy grandma! They steal all the scenes they’re in!)
- I’m the one who recommended The Bride Series by S. Doyle! I’m so glad glad you liked it JulieO! I’ve been telling other people about how much I ended up enjoying it.
JulieO: Ashley Thanks so much for recommending THE BRIDE. Like I said, it just sucks you in. And didn’t you just want a Jake of your own? Thanks so much!
Moments of Disarray: An Alex Kennedy Story by Megan Hart <— MEGAN HART ALERT!! Ohhhh I love Megan Hart (she has a very deep… raw romance writing feel) and she just released this one! “Alex Kennedy knows he’s a rascal. A rogue. An arrogant bastard. He wreaked havoc on his best friend’s marriage by falling in love with his best friend’s wife, and now he’s trying to move on. Sex, drugs, booze, boys, girls and toys. He’s hell-bent on forgetting the past and running toward a future he doesn’t believe he deserves, only to discover the truth in moments of disarray… AHEM!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS. Remember her book “Tempted”? This new release is the sort of… sequel (spinoff). YA GOTTA REMEMBER THAT ONE!!??! *blink blink* 😉 My review *waggles shocked eyebrows* ➔ https://www.maryse.net/books/megan-hart-books/book-review-tempted-by-megan-hart.html

Atticus: A Woman’s Journey with the World’s Worst Behaved Dog
Reader Question – The book about the girl that runs away from her father and realizes she’s pregnant…
Leah is looking for this one! Eeeeep!! It starts off with a really awful subject matter, so proceed with caution.
She asks:
Hi Maryse!
I’m trying to remember the name of this book. I know I have several book by this author in my Kindle books, but I don’t remember her name either.
The book I am trying to remember is about a girl who is raped
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
*spoiler alert*
by her cop father right before graduation. She runs aways and realizes she is pregnant.
She moves to a small town and has her baby and a few years later meets a guy who moves back there to work with his father as a lawyer. She wants to be an author. They fall in love.
The book is the first in a series about the brothers of the guy. Argh…I remember everything about the book but the name of it or the author.
Too many book problems! (As if thats a thing! Ha!)
