Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
5.0
It isn't often that I stay up to read a book to see how it ends. I did with this one. That says a lot because I don't typically like a romance. However, who doesn't yearn for that kind of take your breath away love. Great story!
Milked by Lisa Doyle
4.0
What is a girl to do with no job or means to support an new infant? Amanda decides to do what she does well and puts her breasts to work, literally. Amanda is pregnant when the love of her life leaves her at the altar. A few months later with a baby to feed and rent to pay she is running out of options and her savings. What she does have in abundance is breast milk. Amanda becomes a special type of nanny, one that in days of old was given the name wet nurse. Is this the type of career that Amanda really wants? Will she find love again? Definitely pick up this book and find out.
At first I was thinking this was just going to be a fluffy chick lit book. I found myself not only enjoying it, but I did not want to put it down. Reading about breast feeding strange babies actually kept me up at night and not from a creepiness factor. It actually ends up seeming quite normal, I think. The characters are wonderful and you can't help but fall in love with Amanda and her determination. I look forward to more books by Lisa Doyle and thank you to her publishers for allowing me to read this in exchange for my honest review

Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline
5.0
Bottom line, this was a really good read. I had never heard of the orphan trains and the history of those children is fascinating to me. As an adoptive mom, I cringed at how many of these children were treated as indentured servants. I just wanted to reach back in time and adopt them all. The descriptions of the time period in different parts of the country seemed spot on. The author really did her homework.
I enjoyed the similar story lines of Vivian and Molly and I loved how they found each other. My heart broke for each of their losses and I cheered when happiness came their way. I left out a synopis of the book, but I encourage you to pick this one up.
