Destination Wedding by Robyn Neeley

     Every wedding planner dreams of that one career making wedding.  Kate Ashby's came in the form of a destination wedding in one of the most romantic spots on earth, Hawai'i.  She's ready for this challenge, she only has three weeks to plan this wedding.   A chance meeting on the airplane may end the wedding before it begins.  Meeting the bride and groom for the first time is a shock Kate isn't ready for and things seem to get more confusing from there. Thankfully she has her assistant Miles to help smooth the road.

   Funny, captivating and full of surprises, Robyn Neeley keeps you moving along in this fantastic romance.  This book is well written and an easy read.  I loved the way Ms. Neeley tied everything together so neatly. No loose ends and plenty of room for other characters stories to be told.  You'll find yourself smiling and trying to imagine what will happen next.  

I found no issues with this one.

I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it really entertains!

To Katie life was simple. She wanted a little house in upper Boston, and four kids fathered by her best friend Jason, who she’s been infatuated with since she was eight. After a devastating family secret is exposed, all she wants now is to escape the media hype that follows her everywhere she turns. Leaving her family, friends, and Jason behind, she travels to places she’s only read about, to find a father she’s never known. Jason is on a mission and he’s come halfway around the world to complete it. Despite his feelings for Katie, he won’t let her resistance deter him, even if it means she’ll never trust him again. As their world spirals out of control, their relationship will be tested and changed forever. If he can keep them alive and out of harm’s way, he may have a chance to make everything right.


 

Roberta Stanton had grown up a thief on the streets of Portland. Breaking into the old building had been easy, and she’d gotten away with it. Or so she thought. It had only cost her the lives of seven close friends. 

Years later, now Rob found herself on the other side of the law. Tracking down a thief of millions of dollars worth of art was the least of her problems, her major pain now, was the handsome owner of that art.


Ric Derby owns the Blue Spot art galleries. Murder and a million dollar theft bring them together. A personal vendetta from a dark figure threatens them both. Retreating to the safety of the small town of Pride, Ric must fight to protect the only person he’s ever truly loved.

     Hired killers can't afford a conscience - it's bad for business. Assassin, Gage Brassan, is having a very bad year. An unexpected attack of conscience, an old girlfriend's betrayal, and a trip to prison are the catalysts for an explosion of memory that remind him of his military past and a promise left unfulfilled. With the help of Jak, a Rigian street kid, and Joanna Travis, the sister of an old army buddy, Gage attempts to unravel the truth behind the execution of the elite Special Forces unit he once commanded. As he follows the blood trail from its beginnings in the war-torn Androsian system, and into the highest echelons of the Galactic Security Force and the corrupt halls of the Rigian People’s Palace, he must outwit the criminal organization he has betrayed as he struggles to protect his estranged father from the bloody, emotional, fall-out of a life gone wrong. He knows the answers are out there. The trick will be living long enough to find them.

If You Were Me and Lived In South Korea by Carole P. Roman

    Another in the If You Were Me.. Series.  This time we take the children to South Korea.  It allows children who may never get the chance to travel, a look inside another country.  Traditions, Korean words and general fun facts create another educational masterpiece.  

    Carole P. Roman has struck gold with this series.  I love that children can learn a little about so many countries. It's easy to understand and shares facts they would be interested in. It's aimed right at the inquisitive young mind.

   I didn't find any issues.

    I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5! 

Free My Heart of Grief to Love by Sandra Moore Bersen

    Sandra's life has been difficult.  Just how difficult she discusses in this book for all to see.  Going through so many trials and tribulations can react badly to anyone, but how can you get through this with your heart, mind and soul in tact.  It isn't easy and Sandra shares her journey.

    I will preface this by saying it took me so very long to read and review this book for one very simple reason.  Sandra talks about her son Ray and his death in the opening of the book.  My dad's name is/was Ray and he died of a gunshot to the head as well. It made it very hard for me to get passed that and into the book.  I am glad I did though.  Sandra shares the good, bad and the ugly.  In places I could feel the hurt as she wrote.  I'm sure you will get the message loud and clear in this wonderful book.  There is life after intense grief.  It's not easy to get to and it's a long way out, but it's there.  

      I did find a couple of issues. The book is a little disjointed in spots and includes some statements I didn't feel were necessary to an experienced reader.  There are some graphic parts, but didn't feel they were needed either.

    I gave this book 4 out of 5 cheers because the message rings clear!

A moment of weakness…an afternoon of passion…a brutal murder hits close to home…

A PERFECT SETUP
DOUGLAS WICKARD
The explosive sequel to A PERFECT HUSBAND.
Sami’s back! And this time it’s personal!

The New York Times, Daily News and New York Post all hailed her a hero!

Samantha Saxton ‘owned the night,’ they reported. She was the victor, the quiet champion, the anti-heroine single-handedly destroying the career of a lethal serial killer stalking the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania for six unremitting years. The disappearance of six teenage girls and the horrific details of their deaths received national, frenzied attention and Sami Saxton became the unlikely poster woman in all the coverage.

Sami’s attempt to find a quieter, less hectic life by moving to a cabin her deceased father built years ago in the remote urban township of Montague, New Jersey didn’t turn out quite the way she’d planned.

Returning to the City, Sami purchases a spacious, fifth floor, open-airy, glass-walled condominium on the Upper West Side overlooking the Hudson River…another new start!

But, that night continues to haunt her...in her dreams and in her life. The nightmares persist, vivid, ongoing and relentless. Posttraumatic stress syndrome paralyzes her, keeping her a prisoner in her newly renovated home. The anxiety attacks intensify and not even prescription painkillers are helping to relieve the anguish.

Then, the unthinkable occurs. A young, female model is found brutally murdered in a midtown hotel. And, Jerry Saxton, Sami’s ex-husband, is taken into custody for the heinous crime.

TRUST NO ONE!
