Two If By Sea is more than a tragic tale of a man who survives tragedy, only to find love again. It’s about an honorable man, ex cop, Frank Mercy, who, after saving a young boys life, illegally takes him back to his home in the United States.
It’s about the bond Continue reading “This Chick Read: Two If By Sea by Jacquelyn Mitchard”
Fire Touched is the latest Mercy Thompson novel by Patricia Briggs. Mercy, a coyote shifter, while battling a Troll on a bridge to keep it from decimating the Tri-Cities population, makes a magical statement declaring the Columbia Basin Pack protectors of that territory. This is the beginning of a fantastic story of one of my favorite fantasy characters. Mercy and her husband Adam, the Alpha Continue reading “This Chick Read: Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs”
I read this book in one eight hour sitting because I was down to the weekend before The Hot Chicks Who Read, my book club, were getting together to discuss this book. Thankfully, my husband had the crud that’s been going around, and I was able to spend the entire day Continue reading “This Chick Read: You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz”
Backtrack 17 is the second novel in the TaP Team series by L.j. Charles. It continues the story of Everly Gray, a touch sensitive psychic who has joined a spy team created by her husband Tynan Pierce. I first was introduced to Everly Gray in A Touch of Ice, where she was a Personal Coach, or life counselor (This Chick Read: A Touch of Ice the Everly Gray Adventures). To prepare for the jump in time for Everly Gray Continue reading “This Chick Read: Backtrack 17: The TaP Team by L.j. Charles”
I have eagerly anticipated this installment of the Fever series, as Mac and Barrons are two of my favorite fantasy romance characters. Mac has grown away from the Barbie from the south stereotype who we met in volume one, evolving into a fighter trying to save humanity, and more importantly those she loves. Barrons is still a grunting man-beast Continue reading “This Chick Read: Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning”
From the first page, this story reached out and yelled GOTCHA! I will admit, this is my favorite type of weekend read. A great mystery, a gripping plot, a strong female lead with a hint of vulnerability, and a take charge hero who is great to look at! Karen Robards is a master at developing a roller coaster thrill Continue reading “This Chick Read: Darkness by Karen Robards”
Roan and Kay are orphans. A fire destroys their old life, but they have one chance to enter the School of Faith. They are given one month to pass the entry trials, but as Roan excels and Kay fails, their devotion to each other is put to the test.
They swore they would face everything together, but when the stakes are losing the life they’ve always dreamed of, what will they do to stay together? What won’t they do? Continue reading “This Chick Read: Faith and Moonlight by Mark Gelineau and Joe King”
I read this book sitting on the couch, occasionally laughing out loud and getting strange looks from my husband, as well as grabbing a Kleenex and sniffling, trying to hide my tears. I didn’t fool anyone, including myself. I was totally into the characters and storyline, and wasn’t going to put this book down until I was done. When I was, I looked up stating, Continue reading “This Chick Read: The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin”
This is a fascinating story of a young woman who survives tragedy and reinvents herself at the turn of the 20th century. The setting changes from the Missouri social scene, to living a tough life on one of the San Juan Islands, to Skagway Alaska during the Goldrush of 1898. Eliza Waite, as did many women of her time, had very little control Continue reading “This Chick Read: Eliza Waite by Ashley E. Sweeney”
As I was reading Lost in Her, I was reminded of reading Harlequin and Silhouette romances as a teenager in California. This was a sweet tale with a somewhat naive heroine who meets a man who isn’t ready to commit due to a personal tragedy. Sandra Owens, the author, did a good job of inserting Continue reading “This Chick Read: Lost in Her by Sandra Owens”
