Book Review – Stolen Course by Aly Martinez

By 15 Comments

Stolen Course (Wrecked and Ruined)
Great second installment that answered a ton of questions, and opened up the possibility of more romance amongst the cast and crew (future books? I hope so!!). Just one book in, and felt like I knew the characters. As if they were my own friends. I was invested in ’em! (Check out my review of book #1)

And this book (#2) allowed me to continue getting to know ’em, through another main character’s life, while the “background story” continued expanding. The accident that emotionally destroyed three best friends (police officers), and the three best friends that they were dating. A moment from their past that blew them apart, yet bonded them together forever. And a potential beautiful future that was within their reach. If only they’d allow themselves to have it again. But sometimes, when life-changing questions don’t have answers, doubt and suspicion rears its ugly head and it’s hard to let go of convictions. read more

Book Review – Changing Course by Aly Martinez

Changing Course (Wrecked and Ruined)
I just LOVED IT! I knew I would. I knew it. I loved it so much that I even told my husband all about it today as we were driving home (I was at 75%, and it was all I could think about), and he thought it sounded incredible, too! He agreed… this guy? Total hero. The minute we walked through the door, he handed me my iPad and said:

“Get to your book! I wanna know how it ends.”

Yep. This was right up my alley, and totally right up his, and you know I love a book when I go into detail, recounting it to my husband. I don’t do that for all of them, ’cause I know his attention span is a bit er…. eye-roll-ey. *giggle* He can only tolerate so many of my… “and then… this happened! And then… that happened!!” before he tunes me out completely. But I knew he’d enjoy my retelling of this one. read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the women who’s engaged to a younger man (and has a teenage daughter…)

By 4 Comments

This one sounds like it possibly needs to be added to our “Younger Man, Older Woman” list. Either way, this sounds like it could get angsty, so I’m dying to know what book Becky’s looking for.

She asks:

I need help with the name of a book that I read but I have so many books in my kindle I cannot find it.

The book is about a women who  lives with and is engaged to a younger man. The womens teenage/young adult daughter lives with them. The mom decides to leave one day and just leaves a note saying that she is leaving and leaves her daughter there to explain. read more

Book Review – Crossing the Line by Kele Moon

By 8 Comments

Crossing the Line (Battered Hearts – book #3) – Quick note! While these can probably be read as standalones (and understood well enough as the author backtracks), they are best read in order for maximum impact. You get the “best friends/family feel”, and important new characters are introduced, as the series progresses. And anyway. Like I know many of you, you’ll go CRAZY for book #1 (MMA fighter “Clay” rocked my world), so I highly recommend it!!

This series feels like “home” to me. I was already so invested with the characters because of book #1 & #2, but this book brought them full circle. read more

Book Review – Covet by Tracey Garvis Graves

By 8 Comments

Covet
Whoa. The synopsis for this one had my attention months ago, ’cause it was obvious this story would lead us on an intense, yet uncomfortable path. Just the title alone says so much. I couldn’t wait!! And it delivered. Even when it took me out of my comfort-zone, made me cringe, it simultaneously made me ache. It has that real life feel, and I was in!

In fact, the *cringeworthy* stuff often has that added bonus for me. Eeep! I know… sometimes I worry that I should stick to sweet and safe (lest I be labelled… a bad book-influence). 😉 And I do enjoy sweet and safe, but I like to delve into the socially… unacceptable. read more
