Following my heart, one book at a time...
A few answers came back for this one, but I think we have the one!! Although they ALL look great! So here’s what Jessica needed:
“Hi I was wondering if you might know the name of a book, I saw it on an authors page when she was posting about a disorder, all I can remember is she has a mental disorder, and the hero won’t give up even tho she try’s to push him away, before I could add it to my TBR my facebook reloaded and I can’t find it, I wanna say it’s a popular book”
Fisher’s Light
Whoa. THAT BLURB GOT ME!!!!! Tore my heart out right from that heartbreaking letter, and I couldn’t get it out of my mind.
“I was still here, holding my breath, waiting for you to come back even though you told me you never would. You always said you’d find your way back to me. Out of all the lies you’ve told me, this one hurts the most…”
I knew it had to be next.
Jean: Fisher’s Light…. Omg guys! That sounds so good and heartbreaking and good… Lol!
Right??!!! GAH! MINE!!
Real
<— This one was a “stayed-up-all-night-now-I’m-a-book-zombie” read, and I had a blast sighing and *squeeing* with my fellow readers over Remy as so many of us read it together. It just came out yesterday, and when Joanna mentioned how much she was enjoying it, I knew it had to be my next (we have similar book tastes).
Joanna: I’m reading “Real” by Katy Evans right now. It’s giving me chills… Hope it holds up this good all the way through. If it does, it’ll be on my keeper shelf in a BIG way.
New Life
I was thrilled to find out that Bonnie Dee had just released another contemporary romance and after reading the synopsis, I knew it was for me, because of the unconventional nature of it. Considering how much I loved two of her other books (Finding Home and Bone Deep – both made my best of 2011 & 2012 lists), I knew exactly what was next on my TBR list, and I immediately emailed my friend Tina (who is also a fan) to let her know.
Maryse: … finally settled on that new one from Bonnie Dee. I LOVE her very “out there” unconventional contemporary romances. Two of her books have both landed on my top 25 each year. Remember she’s the one who wrote (co-wrote) Finding Home (the teen homeless guy that moves in temporarily with the 20-something year old reporter…) AND
Dirty
Whoa. This was deep. Dark. But I suppose, real. Maybe too real. I had recently received a few recommendations for it…
from Lisa:
“I just got done reading Dirty and I fell in love with this book. … I am curious if you have read any of her books and if so what you think?”
from Chris:
“She wrote a book called Dirty and it is really really good… Check it out!”
But you guys kept “mum” about what I was going into… 😉 That’s okay. You know I love surprises! But OMG it was not at all what I was expecting when going into it. I’ll admit it took me a few chapters to connect, and to find the rhythm of the story being told…
