I’ll Be Seeing You by Lisa Sorbe <— RECENT RELEASE BY AN AUTHOR THAT I ALREADY LOVE!!! Nancy found it for us!! Her husband went missing, and eventually she moved on with her life. “…Lois is still haunted by the past, by the agony of not knowing what happened to her husband all those years ago. But she has a daughter now, and a new fiancé, and she knows how lucky she is to have this second chance at a happy life when so many others aren’t even afforded one. She does not take her new family for granted. Until, that is, she gets a call that her husband has been found. Until she learns that he’s asking for her. Until she discovers that he hasn’t aged a day since he disappeared…” — GASP!!!! 😮
Nancy: Maryse, I just saw that Lisa Sorbe has a new release out: I’ll Be Seeing You! It is pricey but KU! I know you liked Beautiful Savage, too!
Maryse: Ooooh I DO love her!! And this one sounds goooood. GREAT FIND Nancy!
Beautiful Savage by Lisa Sorbe <— AWESOME DOMESTIC/PSYCH-THRILLER!! Speaking of my love for this book, Aimee loved it, too! She asked me for some of my 5-star recommendations that had that crazy edge (and possibly a crazy ending… good or bad… but unexpected) and this one came to mind! P.S. Here’s my 5-STAR review!!!
Aimee: OMG!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!! Beautiful Savage was an anxiety attack waiting to happen!! I wanted to throw my kindle kind of book!!! JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!! I loved the way it ended where it left you wanting more!!
Maryse: *spoiler spoiler* ….blindsided!! And then everything goes nuts.
Found in Silence (A Prairie Tale Book 2) by Lisa Sorbe <— AND HERE’S ANOTHER LISA SORBE BOOK THAT AIMEE FOUND US AND LOVED! P.S. Can be read as a standalone!!
Aimee: I liked Beautiful Savage so read this one by the same author! Loved it!! 4 1/2-5*
I wanted to hate the heroine but she redeems herself. This is part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone! Sort of a slow burn romance, kinda enemies to lovers also. You need to read to see what you consider it!!
Lyrics of Her (Cold Neptune Book 1) by Karen Crompton <— RECENTLY RELEASED!! ROCK STAR PROUD OF HIS ORIGINAL SONGS UNTIL SHE ACCUSES HIM OF PLAGIARISM! “...when sassy up and coming singer/songwriter, Brinley Thomas, accuses him of musical plagiarism, Reed’s entire world spins out of control. There’s no way he can just sit back and let it happen. Fame and fortune can usually buy him anything he wants. But not this time. Brinley isn’t interested in his money. And she’s not interested in taking any of Reed’s crap either. She just wants what’s rightfully hers. But the truth always comes at a cost…“

The journey I was about to embark on wouldn’t be easy, and my life would be forever changed. Amid all the chaos and getting to know my real family, I met a beautiful woman who was different from anyone I’d ever met.

Swear on My Life by S.L. Scott <— S.L. SCOTT RECENT RELEASE!! OPPOSITES IN EVERY WAY! “...I was a small-town girl with big city dreams and more ambition than money to my name. He had everything—money, privilege, and the world at his feet. Opposites in every way, but that didn’t matter. We were lightning in a bottle, and everything felt possible when we were together.

Seduce Me (The Legend Hunters Book 1) by Robyn DeHart <— RECENTLY RELEASED!!! And Nancy 5-STAR LOVED IT!
Nancy: SEDUCE ME (The Legend Hunters Book 1) by Robyn DeHart is a great Victorian Historical Romance with lots of suspense. It reminded me lots of the Indiana Jones movies with Harrison Ford. It is one of those books that once you start to read, you will not want to put down.

- The Skull King by Penelope Sky <— AIMEE 5-STAR LOVED IT!
Aimee: The Skull King was really good!! 5* for me. It’s a cliffhanger! She was forced to save a man she loved by marrying another! She meets the skull king hoping he would give her her freedom….. It’s a sexy read!!
Badger by C. M. McKenna <— ONE THAT I 5-STAR LOVED BACK in 2015 & Aimee is 5-STAR CRAZY for it!!!! P.S. Here’s my 5-STAR book review.
Aimee: I’ve been on a roll!!! BADGER What can I say but WOW! 5* thanks for the recommendation on that one! If I wanted to add this to a *spoiler spoiler* this would be a top 10.
If you love a book that’s emotional and leaves you in tears this is that book. Every now and then I love a book that makes you love and hate a character at the same time and leaves you in tears. It makes you appreciate the books with HEA’s more. This book was a really good book and will be remembered for years to come.
Maryse: YESSSSS I KNEW you’d love Badger!! That story and the ending was so unexpected!!

All I want to do is work harder on the ice. I definitely don’t need Felicity Roarke, the team’s Community Outreach director, distracting me. But there she is, handing out candy canes and decorating our locker room like a rabid, little Christmas elf. A very attractive, unintentionally sexy elf. I make sure I draw her name in the staff’s Secret Santa exchange, and start brainstorming the worst gift ideas ever….”

I one clicked the audible version for the shadow beast shifters!!
Bring on the rejection!!!!
So I finished the first 3! I listened to it! The audible version was well worth the credit because it was a dual narration, love those type! I rated it 4* for the first and second book and 3* for the third only because I felt it was a little drawn out…. But it still was a good series!❤️
