Following my heart, one book at a time...
The Solemn Vow: A love story told from rock bottom
SERIOUS MARITAL STRIFE ALERT!!! New-to-me author but I really enjoyed this one! It’s as romantically angsty as it gets (a love triangle that totally goes “there”). You know… Arsen, Thoughtless… you get the picture. 😉
Tons of heartache and indecision. You wanna be mad at her but there’s also the other side to blame (and I mean… SERIOUSLY!!). BOTH other sides, in fact.
Two men own my heart, and that’s unforgivable.
One Week
Oh wow, this one definitely goes there. I love Roya Carmen’s willingness to explore marital strife and betrayal. Going in with eyes wide open at times, but also… that unexpected devastating reveal. She brings the agony, the insecurities and total breakdown, to the forefront.
As readers, we’re appalled by some of the choices made, aching with the consequences, judging every character, and yet as humans, witnessing one of our biggest fears come true, it’s hard to look away and to not let it personally affect us.
Chris is looking for this one! Marital strife… and her boss. Oh oh. 😉 Enough detail in this one, that I “spoiler-alerted” a few times, and I have no doubt this one will ring a bell, for sure!
She asks:
Hi Maryse
I’ve read over 3000 books and can’t find one I want to reread despite 2 days of searching.
It’s about a woman who goes back to work for an alpha male, after raising her kids.

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.
The Wife Between Us: A NovelP.S. I am assuming the publisher heard I was reading this (or maybe this was just BLIND LUCK), but they reached out to me and offered a HARDCOVER copy (and a bag!!) for one of our lucky commenters here!! Yep! St. Martin’s Press is partnering with me for a giveaway!!! YAY US!!! Oh and they sent me a quote about this book and I must say, OH YES… (so I’m adding it):
“The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage—and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.”
