Let's read a good book.....Boone (Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas #3) by Emily March

 

Boone  (Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas #3)   by Emily March.  This was my first Emily March book but it will not be my last.  The characters are all lovable and the story will suck you in and grab hold of your heart til the end.  Although this book works fine as a stand alone, I enjoyed it so much I want to read the first two books in the trilogy.  Even though this is a story with much   loss, it is much more a story full of love and hope.   The only negative is I felt the story left us hanging with the grandparents law suit story line.  It is mentioned once then never again.  There is one line about a grandmothers’ presence but since Boone’s mother is also a grandmother there is no clear distinction.  It would have been clearer to the reader if it had at least read “ Bri’s other grandmother” but I do think the reader deserved at least a page to clear up the whole situation or it should not have been thrown in at all.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read this book.

Let's read a good book ..... The Forever Girl by Jill Shalvis

 

 

The Forever Girl( Wildstone #6) by Jill Shalvis

First, I have read every book in this series and loved them all.   Second, this book can stand alone and you do not have to have read the series to read this book.   Third,  for me this is not a beach read or a light read.   I do not find reading about abused or mistreated children, animal or the elderly light reading.   I had to lay this book down many times and come up for air because of the emotional content of what I was reading.  The writing will suck you in and have you living this book right along with the characters.   And no it was not explicit but the writing is such that you will feel their pain.  You will want to hug these  characters and tell them everything is going to be ok,  and you will wish you could have protected them as children.  About half way through  I was able to relax and enjoy the rest of the book and could not stop reading until it was finished.  Well done Jill Shalvis!!  Thank you NetGalley.   #theforevergirl   #Jillshalvis

 Sisters by Choice ( Blackberry Island #4) by Susan Mallery

  I read an excerpt from this book and was so waiting to get my hands on the finished book since this is a series I have enjoyed.  Once I did it was a love / hate relationship.   I have a problem with parents who mistreat their children even in fiction so that part of the book bothered me to the very end,  all the other characters I enjoyed.  To say I could not put it down is and understatement,  I literately stayed up all night reading and I haven't done that in a long time.

Lets Read a Good Book........ Coconut Layer Cake Murder ( Hannah Swensen #25) by Joanne Fluke

        

  Coconut Layer Cake Murder ( Hannah Swensen #25)   by   Joanne Fluke

 I enjoyed this book, it seemed to be more inline with how the series began. What I didn't enjoy was the references to things that had happened in the past books that were not explained. Does this author think that at one book a year we are suppose to remember every detail. I read around a 100 books a year and unless I'm reading all your series back to back I'm not going to remember a line you throw out like, when Norman hid under someone's bed. Maybe a little less recipes and a little more details would help the reader. My other question is just how much coffee can one person drink? These people must drink 20 cups a day. It felt like when the writer needed to fill a space the characters just drank coffee and ate a cookie.
