MRC Johnson – Be Careful Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

BETRAYAL & REDEMPTION FANS!!! Margie found us another series and absolutely LOVED book #2 and is continuing the series as we speak. Now… I’m not a HUGE fan of the book covers, but you know what they say. Never judge a book by its cover, and with a recommendation like this one, who can I resist?

Margie: Betrayal and Redemption. This may be an author you’ve already covered, but the book I just read was amazing. It’s MRC Johnson…the book is Be Careful…Who You Take For Granted.

It’s amazing.

Per Amazon the author MRC Johnson is a contemporary fiction author who lives for stories soaked in emotion—betrayal, revenge, healing, and empowerment, who writes with a raw, bold voice and an unflinching eye for the truth. The characters don’t stay victims; they rise, evolve, and reclaim their power.

This book is how a young man over comes his family’s cruel abandonment…it’s amazing. There are lots of other books. I’m onto the next one.

About book #1:

When Camille’s husband requests an open marriage, it doesn’t just break her heart—it wakes her up.

Left to grieve a relationship that’s still technically intact, Camille enters a quiet unraveling. But instead of seeking revenge, she begins a slow, deliberate reinvention. As Dean pursues new women with the smugness of a man who assumes his wife will stay loyal, Camille rediscovers herself in solitude, in creativity, and in the gentle company of Elijah—a widowed architect who sees her without needing to possess her.

As Camille grows into her power, Dean watches in disbelief as the woman he overlooked begins to thrive without him. By the time he realizes what he’s lost, Camille has already crossed the bridge—and she didn’t need to burn it to keep moving forward.

At its core, this is a story about what happens when the woman you cast aside becomes the woman you can’t reach anymore.

A journey of quiet power, emotional justice, and the kind of love that begins when you choose yourself.

Reader Question – The book where she always donates her cooking to a pantry and he buys her a kitchen space…

By Leave a Comment

Ada needs our book help! Oh this one sounds absolutely wonderful!!!!

She asks:

Would love help finding a book I’m desperate to reread!

The FMC makes food for the hungry, donates to a pantry or something like that. They adore her and are always thrilled when she shows up with her goodies. She doesn’t sell them because she doesn’t need the money.

The MMC buys her a kitchen space for her so he knows she’s always in best and safe place. She doesn’t know that he had a tough childhood and used to get food from a soup kitchen when he was younger, so admires her for it.

I think it was a motorcycle club book. Or maybe mafia?

Would appreciate any ideas of what it could be!

Anyone have a guess?
