Regretting you ~ Colleen Hoover ~ New Release

“This is Hoover at her very best.” —Publishers Weekly

Regretting You, an all-new poignant and moving novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, is available now!

Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike.

Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn’t have a spontaneous bone in her body.

With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris—Morgan’s husband, Clara’s father, and the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long-lasting consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara.

While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan finds comfort in the last person she expects to, and Clara turns to the one boy she’s been forbidden to see. With each passing day, new secrets, resentment, and misunderstandings make mother and daughter fall further apart. So far apart, it might be impossible for them to ever fall back together.

Review Round Up ~ December 9

New Releases

Mistletoe Over Manhattan by Jeannine Colette

3.5 Stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy Provided by Author

This was an enjoyable anthology filled with short stories. My favorites were the entries from Stephanie Rose and Kat T Masen. Please keep reading for my reviews.

Strangers in the city- ja low
3.5 stars
This was a fun insta lust/love read with a bit of vengeful ex thrown in. I liked Callie and Rhys and would enjoy seeing a more fleshed out version of the story.

Santa’s Slayings - Andrea Bills
3 stars
This was interesting, but I didn’t really get the romance between the main characters. I think this is one that needs the full book treatment to explore the complexities of the plot.

Rockefeller Romance - Jeannine Cole
3.5 stars
I have to admit to wanting to shake the heroine of this one a bit for being oblivious, but it all worked out in the end. This is another read that I would like to see fleshed out a bit more.

Pining - Stephanie Rose
4 stars
Of the pieces I’ve read so far, this feels the most complete to me. Some of that may come from being a huge Stephanie Rose fan and knowing Victoria’s back story. I liked her and Anthony as characters and enjoyed getting to see her interact with parents and siblings.

A very merry ex-Mas by Kat T Masen
4 stars
This is a super quick read. I loved the idea of a group of friends finding their way back together and a romance blossoming from the reconciliation.

Believe and it will happen
3 stars
Cute, insta love/fate story, but also a bit trite in the story telling. Everything felt stiff to me, but i did enjoy it.

The gift of Forgiveness- CD Bradley
3 stars
Good, but characters and plot needed to be more fleshed out.

Santa, is it you? M C Decker
3.5 stars
Cute story about how the right person can come from the most unexpected places. I would love to see the full length version of this one.

Instacrush by Kate Meader

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

Review Copy Provided by Author

Ms Meader continues her excellent hockey franchise with Instacrush, the second book in the Rookie Rebel series. Theo and Elle, our main characters, played supporting roles in the first book of the series, but we get to know them much better in this stand alone novel.

Both Theo and Elle are characters that have a lot more going on than you notice at first glance. It was a pleasure to get to know them better and see them go through the emotional growth necessary to have a chance at happy ever after.

As expected from Ms Meader, this is a well written book with a strong cast of supporting characters. There is significant overlap with the original Rebels series, but this is handled in such a way that it would be easy for a new reader to join the series. Readers who have been following the series will appreciate getting to catch up with previous favorites.

I enjoyed getting to know Theo and Elle better in Instacrush. They had a good mix of sweet, funny, and touching moments both individually and as a couple. I am hoping we get to see more of them in the future!

A Fairbanks Affair by Katy Regnery ~ New Release and Review

New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery returns with the third book in her Odds-Are-Good series!

Three nights. Two of us. One bed. Zero chance at love.

Boston businesswoman, Faye Findley, has devoted the last decade of her life to work, leaving no time for romance. Tired of being a 30-year-old virgin, Faye answers an ad in The Odds Are Good magazine, hoping to turn over her v-card to a sexy Alaskan she’ll never see again.

Successful distillery owner, Trevor Starling, was left betrayed and broken-hearted when his brother and fiancée had sex the night before Trevor’s wedding. Anticipating a lonely New Year’s celebration, he places an ad in The Odds Are Good for a no-strings attached weekend of hot sex.

Though mistaken identity threatens to derail everything, the chemistry between Faye and Trevor turns out to be stronger than either could have imagined. And what started out as a one-and-done mission becomes much more complicated.

Elizabeth's Review

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

Review Copy Provided by Author

When I first read the beginning of A Fairbanks Affair, I wasn’t sure what to think. I should have known to trust Ms Regnery to take that unique intro and deliver a great story.

Faye and Trevor are two characters that it a bit to warm up to, but once I got to know them they were likeable and easy to root for them to each find a happy ending. Both had some emotional growing to do, but it was handled in a way that felt organic and genuine to the story.

An interesting turn of events and a small, but impactful secondary cast round out this well written and fairly quick read. As we left Fairbanks, I discovered I wanted to know more about some of the secondary characters, especially Harry and Baz - maybe they will have a book soon?
