Synopsis

Germany, 1940: “Can’t I say goodbye?” I shout, cupping my hands over my mouth. The Nazis dragging him away stare at me, soldiers with icy glares. No. No, no, no, they can’t make him leave.

In Nazi Germany, innocent people vanish every day, torn mercilessly from their homes and loved ones. When Matilda’s childhood sweetheart Hans is in danger, she doesn’t hesitate to hide him in her attic. Neighbors their whole lives, and desperately in love with one another, she’ll do anything to protect him. For months, they exist by candlelight, smuggling food and communicating in whispers. But, in the end, nothing can stop the soldiers charging in…

America, 2018: Grace opens a mustard-yellow envelope, and her world unravels. She has inherited a bookstore in the small town of Dachau from the grandmother she had no idea existed. Her mom, adopted as a baby, spent her life searching for her biological parents––and died without ever knowing.

Grace visits her legacy––a bookshop on a cobbled lane filled with lost memories. She combs through handwritten letters, unearthing the story of her grandmother Matilda. A woman whose one true love was locked within the barbed wire of Dachau––a woman who never gave up hope…

As Grace pieces together her family’s heartbreaking past, she discovers the long-buried secret of her own identity. But when she learns the truth, will she ever be the same again?



This heart-wrenching yet hopeful tale will restore your faith in humanity, and in the power of love to triumph over evil. Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Orphan Train and Kristin Hannah will be blown away by this breathtakingly gripping page-turner.

Elizabeth's Review

My rating: 5 of 5 stars - One of the Best

Review Copy Provided by Author

I read this as an advanced copy titled Secret in the Attic and to be honest, I’m not sure which title I like better, they both definitely fit the story.

Told in alternate time lines, the focus of our story here is Matilda (a German Christian) and Hans (a German Jew) and their childhood friendship that develops into more just as the world around them implodes at the beginning of the war. The rich storytelling made it feel as if I was with these characters as they experienced the trials of a world that no longer made sense.

The unique delivery here, of having modern day Grace reading the words of Matilda and Hans as they tell their own story made the struggle of living in WWII Germany take on a new dynamic for me.

As with other historical works by Ms Ryan, The Secret in Attic takes a both a gentle and very honest approach to one of the most horrible events in human history. While this is a work of fiction, it definitely helps me reframe things that have only been points of reference. As we get further removed from WWII, works like this play an important role in keeping the conversation going so that we never again go down the road of hate.

Home With You ~ Claudia Burgoa & Grahame Claire ~ Cover Reveal

Claudia Burgoa and Grahame Claire have revealed the cover for Home with You!

Releasing: November 16, 2021

Cover Design: Hang Le Designs

When I was a kid I used to doodle pictures of my best friend.
Well, my best imaginary friend: Harley the Hedgehog Fairy.
Turns out that making up stories about her catapulted me into children's book stardom.

Now I'm living my dream and working from home.
I'd rather spend my time creating stories than face the real world.
Except, my agent has other plans. He's booked me on a signing tour across the country.
Six weeks outside of my comfort zone.

I thought that was painful - until I saw Morgan Bradford entering a bookstore holding the hand of a little girl.
He told me he didn't want commitment.
But I guess he didn't want commitment with me.

After five painful minutes, I see him off and hope we never cross paths again.
I'm not that lucky.

A blizzard, a car accident and a concussion send me back to Winter Valley...
And under Morgan's care.

Maybe I am that lucky.

Review Round Up ~ October 27

New Release:

Billionaire Ever After by Jessica Lemmon

3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy Provided by Author

Billionaire Ever After wraps up the stories of the Owen Brothers, with Archer. We've seen him as a secondary character in the first two books, so it was great to see him get the staring role here.

Archer is paired with Talia, a strong woman working to make her life better. It was fun to see their professional/friendship take a surprising turn and then develop into more. I enjoyed getting to know both of these characters. Archer had a great softer side that hadn't been revealed previously and Talia had a great mix of being family focused and independent.

Ms Lemmon did an excellent job of balancing telling Archer and Talia's story with wrapping up the stories of the Owen Brothers. Nate, Benji, and their significant others played key secondary roles, but added just the right amount of flavor to this story. Readers who have followed the series will be glad to see everyone, but new readers who don't mind a few potential spoilers could easily start here too.

Home for a Cowboy Christmas by Donna Grant

3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy Provided by Publisher via Net Galley

This is a sweet holiday read with just a litte spice and a dash of intrigue.
Emmy and Dwight are a great pair and it was a pleasure to get to know them and see their interactions. Ms Grant created an environment that allowed these two to bond and develop a friendship (and more) that neither expected.
Home for a Cowboy Christmas is a fast paced read that I didn't want to put down until we knew what was going to happen next!
2 things kept this from being a full four star read for me.
1) The big conflict scene - while I know this is fiction, but this was just far enough outside the realm of realastic that I struggled with it.
2) This book isn't really as long as it looks! There is a short story at the end, so as I was reading I could tell that we were approaching a key point in the story, but my kindle was telling me I was at 60% of the book. It was a bit confusion until I reached the end oand discovered the short story. It was a bit disappointing as I wanted more of Emmy and Dwight!

Indigo Ridge by Devney Perry ~ New Release & Review

Indigo Ridge by Devney Perry is now live!

Winslow Covington believes in life, liberty and the letter of the law. As Quincy, Montana's new chief of police, she's determined to prove herself to the community and show them she didn't earn her position because her grandfather is the mayor.

According to her pops, all she has to do is earn favor with the Edens. But winning over the town's founding family might have been easier if not for her one-night stand with their oldest son. In her defense, it was her first night in town and she didn't realize that the rugged and charming man who wooed her into bed was Quincy royalty.

Sleeping with Griffin Eden was a huge mistake, one she's trying to forget. He's insufferable, arrogant and keeps reminding everyone that she's an outsider. Winslow does her best to avoid Griffin, but when a woman is found dead on Eden property, the two of them have no choice but to cross paths.

As clues to the murderer lead to one of Quincy's own, Griffin realizes Winslow is more than he gave her credit for. Beautiful and intelligent, she proves hard to resist. For him. And the killer.

Elizabeth's Review

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy PRovided by Author

Indigo Ridge is a book I’ve been looking forward to and Ms Perry didn’t disappoint as she introduced us to a new community of Quincy and the Eden family.

We meet Winslow (Winn) as she moves to town to become the new Police Chief. She immediately meets Griffin, rancher and descendant of town founders. The sparks between these two are immediate and it was pure fun watching them slip from awkward and casual to a relationship neither was looking for.

Indigo Ridge has an intrigue element that really makes the story stand out. I appreciated that the conflict of the story was outside of Winn and Griff’s relationship, it made their journey more authentic and realistic.

As the first book in a new series, Indigo Ridge had the heavy lifting of not only telling Winn and Griff’s story, but also building the world they and the Eden family will inhabit going forward. Ms Perry did an excellent job of balancing these two distinct jobs and making them flow organically together. It was a pleasure to meet Griff’s family and I am looking forward to seeing where the series is headed next.

Riggs by Sawyer Bennett ~ New Release & Review

Riggs (Arizona Vengeance, Book #11) Sawyer Bennett 

Release Date: October 26, 2021

 

Synopsis:

 

Known as the team loner, Riggs Nadeau gives his all on the ice, but nothing extra off it. A beautiful stranger is about to cause chaos in his very structured world. As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life. On the surface, I do. But they don’t know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my seventeen-year-old sister, Janelle. And that’s exactly the way I like it. They may think I’m a prick because I don’t like to share, but that’s fine. They don’t know me, and they don’t need to. In an effort to help Janelle get settled in Phoenix and stay out of trouble at school, I set her up with a job at Clarke’s Corner, the local bookstore owned by the girlfriend of a teammate. It’s there that she makes friends with Veronica Woodley, the extremely annoying, arrogant, money-hungry divorcee who I don’t want anywhere near my sister. Janelle insists I’m completely wrong about Veronica, but I refuse to accept that. I have to keep reminding myself that that the gorgeous blond with legs for days is off limits. Through a series of events, I start to see Veronica for what she really is—an amazing woman who has survived her own hell to come out even stronger. I have to admit, we’re more alike than not and the attraction between us burns hot. Maybe I was all wrong about my ability to love and commit, but when the past comes back to haunt me, can I be the man that Veronica, and Janelle, deserve?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

Review Copy Provided by Author

Sawyer Bennett is one of my go to authors, I know going in that I can expect a quality read with interesting characters and a lot of heart. Riggs is no exception!

Riggs is a secondary character that we've seen briefly in previous books, but just enough to know his name. It was nice to get to know him better here, to see the curtain peeled back and get to know the real person behind the gruff, loner exterior. Riggs is what I consider a classic Bennette leading man. He is definitely an Alpha personality, but he is a good friend once he lets himself try and has a slightly unexpected side (you get to read the book to see that evolution!).

He is paired with Veronica and I just love her. She is a character that excels on wearing a brave face while internally struggling. The sparks between these two were amazing and Ms Bennette did a fantastic job of taking Riggs and Veronica from adversaries to friends to more. Add in the interactions between Veronica, Riggs, and his sister Janelle and this is a winning combination for people that you can't help but root for to suceed.

Given that this is the 11th book in the Vengeance series, the team plays a major role in the secondary cast. This is one of the places where Ms Bennette's skills shine as she weaves the story together in such a way that loyal series readers will appreciate the updates, but that new reader's won't be lost. There is also a great balance between the Riggs & Veronica storyline and the Riggs/Vengeance story line. I was a little sad to see this story end, but am definitely curious to see where the series may take us next.

The Commander ~ Melanie Moreland ~ Cover Reveal

Melanie Moreland has revealed the cover for 
The Commander, Men of Hidden Justice Book 3!



Releasing February 1, 2022

My instincts had always served me well.
Listening to my gut, the warning voice in my head that told me when to walk away.
I never failed to heed the signs.
Until the day she walked into my office.
I knew she would be trouble, but I ignored the alarm bells.
And then it was too late, and I fell. Hard.
A lie tore us apart, and I thought I'd lost her forever.
But now she's back—with a secret she's been keeping.
This time, I'm not letting her go.

Rewind ~ Kat Mizera ~ Release Boost

Rewind by Kat Mizera is now live!

https://geni.us/RewindKM

Available on All Platforms

When you’re on top there’s nowhere to go but down...

Rock and roll superstar Declan “Bash” James is about to meet his match... and fall hard. The sultry drummer isn’t looking for love, he’s looking for a second chance at dominating the charts. Until a clumsy redhead stumbles into his elevator, and life, providing a distraction he didn’t know he needed.

Growing up in a family full of addicts wasn’t easy for Brianna Franklin— and living life on the straight and narrow is the only future she can see for herself. The one that’s stable and leads to culinary school. A path that never included someone like Declan and his rocker lifestyle.

The more Bri tries to convince herself Declan is Mr. Wrong, the more he keeps saying and doing all the right things. When tragedy strikes, will she learn to trust or is she destined to rock on alone?

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Would Recommend to a Friend

Review Copy Provided by Author

After meeting the band Nobody’s Fool in the previous two books of the series, I’ve been curious about the “Bash Brothers” so it was super fun to meet Declan “Bash” James in Rewind.

I think one of my favorite things about this book was that while “Bash” is a rock star who has lived on the wild side, the character we really meet here is Declan - the man behind the star. And Declan is at a bit of a crossroads when he meets Brianna.

These were both characters that I really liked. I appreciate that Brianna is a stronger character that is honest about her insecurities and struggles. She was a good match for our rock star who isn’t sure where he’s headed and has his own issues to face.

Overall, this is a sweet story. The writing is well balanced between Declan and Bri’s story and the secondary story around the band. If you are new to the series, there are definite spoilers, so I would try to start with Tyler’s book.

The more Bri tries to convince herself Declan is Mr. Wrong, the more he keeps saying and doing all the right things. When tragedy strikes, will she learn to trust or is she destined to rock on alone?

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

After meeting the band Nobody’s Fool in the previous two books of the series, I’ve been curious about the “Bash Brothers” so it was super fun to meet Declan “Bash” James in Rewind.

I think one of my favorite things about this book was that while “Bash” is a rock star who has lived on the wild side, the character we really meet here is Declan - the man behind the star. And Declan is at a bit of a crossroads when he meets Brianna.

These were both characters that I really liked. I appreciate that Brianna is a stronger character that is honest about her insecurities and struggles. She was a good match for our rock star who isn’t sure where he’s headed and has his own issues to face.

Overall, this is a sweet story. The writing is well balanced between Declan and Bri’s story and the secondary story around the band. If you are new to the series, there are definite spoilers, so I would try to start with Tyler’s book.

Hold Me Now ~ J H Croix ~ New Release & Review

Release Date: October 19

A brand new firefighter series from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

He’s my new roommate.

I can’t stand him, and he can’t stand me.

Russell Dane thinks he’s all that. Maybe’s he’s so hot he should come with a too-hot-to-handle sign, but he drives me crazy. Not the good kind of crazy either.

He thinks women shouldn’t be firefighters, he’s obnoxiously overprotective, and I can’t stand him. Unfortunately, my body is not getting the memo, but I’m stronger than a few confused hormones. Right?

It wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t have to work together, and if he wasn’t my boss. It definitely wouldn’t be so bad if he hadn’t gone and kissed me.

Russel & Paisley’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, hotshot firefighters, sassy tomboy heroines, roommate romance, frenemies to lovers, hate to love, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of steam and swoon, and a broody, protective hero.

In Hold Me Now we meet Russel and Paisley - co workers and unexpected roommates who discover their animosity for each other is really a lot more.

I enjoyed this first book in a new series featuring hot shot firefighters. Russel and Paisley were each entertaining characters and the spark between them could start a forest fire. I do wish we’d seen a bit more character development for both players as it seemed what is here just skimmed the surface.

Hold Me Know has a large secondary cast and honestly skates the fine line of being too much. It’s obvious that while this is the first book in a new series, it picks up where other series have left off with multiple references to things that happened previously. It works here as there is enough detail to add vs detract from the story between Russel and Paisley. We also see several characters that may be featured in future books.

This was a fairly quick read that fit the bill for fun. I am curious about upcoming reads in the series as well as the author’s back list.
