  • An Ending I Never Expected

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    When Natasha met Daniel, her life began to change quickly. She went from working hard and barely surviving to moving into a nice apartment with a man she barely knew. When he proposed, she dreamed of the day she didn’t have to work so hard and worry about money. Daniel had the means to support her. Even better, he fit right into her group of friends and their husbands. She finally was a wife.

    When Daniel found a cruise and offered to take all of her friends, she was thrilled. A whole week sounded perfect. But instead of being excited, all of her friends were a bit unsure about the trip.

    And as soon as the ship set sail, she realized the trip might not be all they wanted. In fact, the secrets shared between the friends might tear them all apart!

    I thoroughly enjoyed  The Wives of Valerie Keogh! I never realized that I would enjoy thrillers the way that I do. I have downloaded two more of Koegh’s books. I can’t wait to get started.

  • Will a Baby Be The Gift It Should Be? Or A Big Mistake?

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    Sarah Westfield realizes that just because her husband Nick is perfect doesn’t mean that her marriage is. He is handsome and devoted to her. He is prepared to do anything for her, but she is still unhappy in her marriage.

    Nick wants the marriage to work and asks for a baby. Sarah can’t imagine that having a baby would help, but she is willing to try.

    After a terrible pregnancy, Sarah finds herself struggling as a mother. She doesn’t feel the maternal instinct and love kick in. In fact, she feels more trapped in her marriage than ever.

    Then, her baby goes taken, and everything changes! Weeks go by, and the couple falls apart. Then, Sarah gets thrown another curveball.

    I could NOT put The Mother by Valerie Keogh down. It was one exciting thing after another, and the ending will have you gasping and wondering how you couldn’t figure it out. I think I found another favorite author and will download more of her books.

    You can’t go wrong with this one!

  • Can You Really Trust Your In-Laws? (and Your Husband)?

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    Chelsea was having a rough go of it when she met the man that she would eventually call her husband. He helped her get better mentally. He was also there for her when her father was sick and eventually died. He even supported her love of painting, letting her dream of going to art school while he took care of her and provided for her.

    Then, it was time for her to meet her in-laws. They lived off-the-grid in a remote location. You couldn’t even get there by car. You had to hike for four hours to get to their cabin.

    They went for a weekend, but then it didn’t look like it was going to be very easy to leave. Chelsea didn’t feel any warmth from his mom, while she enjoyed getting to know his father. However, the family tension quickly became unbearable, and all Chelsea wanted to do was to get back home.

    As Chelsea learns more about her new family, she uncovers some truths which really change everything!

    Just like the other books that I read by Caine, this one had me trying to figure out what was going to happen and then completely go in another direction! If you enjoyed any of his books, you should give this one a try!

  • Who Really Works on Cruise Ships?

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    Working on a luxury super yacht is a great way to earn a living, while also giving you a home (if you don’t have one)! In The Crew by J.M. Hewitt, Ella loves leaving her past behind, especially since she has found a great “family” each year she returns. The crew of the Ananke is her family.

    However, as she returns to work a year after a tragedy the previous summer, she isn’t so sure anymore. One of the deckhands died in a senseless accident. It was Ashley’s first year, and everyone loved her. She was a hard worker and would do anything to ensure the ship ran smoothly!

    But everything that Ashley told them was a lie. And if nobody knows you, can they get away with murder?

    As the crew gets ready to set sail again, nobody is really sure about what happened last summer.

    I never thought that I would love thrillers the way that I do. I really enjoy a good book that I can’t put down. I am going to add more Hewitt thrillers to my library.

  • How Well Do You REALLY Know the Person You Share a Bed With?

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    In My Husband’s Lies by Liz Lawler, she thought she had the perfect life. Her husband Mark was a pilot who worked away from home a lot, but when he was home, he was attentive and happy. She was a doctor. They had a precious little boy.

    When she stays home from work for a plumbing emergency, her whole life changes. Police come to her door looking for her husband. When he is due to come home, he doesn’t walk in the door. He comes home hours later, because he was picked up by the police when he got off the plane (along with his entire flight crew).

    A beautiful flight attendant was killed, and the evidence was pointing to Mark as her killer.

    Though she trusts him, when he won’t tell her why he left the hotel, doubts start to creep in. Then, Mark is hit by a car and left for dead, and she has no idea what to think.

    She invites two crew members into her home to help with her little boy, so that she can spend time at Mark’s bedside, hoping that he wakes up, but also worried that he will be arrested the moment that he does.

    What is he hiding from her? Why won’t he come clean? What do the police have on him?

    Another great read by Liz Lawler. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a page-turner!
