Super sweet story. Lots of hunky, sexy men with their southern charm.
You will fall in love with this gorgeous Louisiana town and all of the characters.
I wanted to just jump right in the book, be at the cottage, watching the wild free horses.

It was my 1st read by Suzanne Jenkins and I loved it. I’ll be back for more.

What a whirlwind of twists and turns! It’s filled with so many who-dun-it’s making you think twice each time you’ve thought you figured everything out, you're wrong again.

If you love murder mysteries, family drama/affairs and thrillers read this, but don’t forget Nicole is a bit crazy but then again who are we to judge?

It’s crazy what some people will say or do, when they're stricken with trauma. I may not be thrilled with one of the accusations, I don't feel it was necessary in this incredible psychological thriller.

Thanks to Netgalley/publisher/Author for this free ebook in exchange for my honest review.

Gabbie and her 2 daughters, packed up and she decides to go to her father’s home where she grew up to stay with her stepmom. So what did her husband lie about? That made her pack and go?

Amazing writing. It’s very touching and emotional for Gabbie to learn from Jill, her stepmom about the things she didn’t know. It’s a great story about lies, loss, family and heartache as well as addiction. Gabbie’s a strong woman, making choices that are going to hard for anyone.
I really enjoyed this book.

If you enjoy reading about families with secrets, you will love this, there's just so many lies.

A Novel Proposal

I’ve got the feels and the hope in all things good again! Great story!

Sadie is an art teacher at an Elementary school in NYC. During the summer she writes western novels. Her publishers decide they want her to write a romance novel.
With the help of her friend she goes to North Carolina to write in a beautiful beachside duplex.

Sadie meets Sam, her neighbor who lives in town but is staying at her duplex.
He offers her a deal in order to help her with a favor.

It will take everything you’ve got to not want to jump inside this book not just to read it but to want to be in this town, or on that beach filled with amazing friendly, laid back characters.-

Only con is the publisher's name for kindle so annoying, it was everywhere. Please consider removing it for us ebook readers.

If you’re a fan of sweet romance, kind of like Hallmark, with some mystery and suspense, then read this, It was beautifully written. A page turner. Not my normal genre but I loved it.

I gobbled up every word of this fast paced, easy to read, well written book.

Your mind will go back and forth with who it was.

Thank you to Net Galley for allowing me to read and review this book, I enjoyed her writing!.

This amazing book kept me on the edge of my seat and sleep deprived.
I had to know what was going to happen. It was somewhat predictable but who cares, it’s a great book and well written.

She buys a house and has a brand new job at a big Tech company.
A new chapter for her life.

20 years prior her sister Ella was kidnapped and Allison is suffering from PTSD.
She meets Liam, the Nephew of her neighbor two doors down.

Oh my Liam is lovely, too good to be true? They work together and start dating.

This book is filled with emotion to touch you like you can only imagine to be in her shoes.
I loved every minute of it and did not want it to end.

Drama, Drama, Drama! RHOCT
Murder? Accident? Affair? Mystery!
Loads of housewives gossip & arguments, so fun!

We start off with Paige & her 8 yr old daughter having just moved from Los Angeles to her hometown in Connecticut with her Mom.
Ainsley is married to John, Paige’s ex from forever ago.

Most seem a bit haughty taughty, and they will annoy you just as much as they do Paige.
After a Parents & Pinot Party at John & Ainsley’s home, Ainsley ends up dead.

This book draws you in somewhat slowly at first but starts to really pick up by the time the party starts. It’s an amazing read, that I could not put down!.

Much thanks to Goodreads, the publisher & Author for my copy from the giveaway. I really enjoyed it.

WOW!!

I could not put this book down, it drew me in quickly and it was well written. It kept my heart pounding and anticipation gone wild. OMG what a great book!! You’ve got to read this!!

Much thanks to book sirens, the publisher and amazing Author for a free read for my honest review!

Jessica & Ashleigh are sisters.
Their father died in an accident 17 years ago.
Jessica is now married to Henry and has 2 nearly 5yr old twins.

Crazy page turner, filled with mystery and lots of twists. Keeps you guessing.
Disturbing, but very well written, hard to put down.

3.5 stars

This is a very good thriller, but it does require a lot of concentration to be able to follow along with the characters and the various timelines that move quite quickly, and yet somehow, are all interconnected.

The Angel maker is about sibling loyalty, a serial killer, and a detective determined to put the pieces together.

Katie has a younger brother Chris, who was attacked and permanently scarred & turned to drugs. They have not spoken to each other in years.
Alan Hobbes is murdered. Is his death connected to Chris?
