My first Sandra Brown. I didn‘t even know there was such a thing as romance thriller, but I guess that‘s a genre and I guess that‘s what this was. If it hadn‘t been so unbelievable, it probably would‘ve rated a little higher. Maybe.

I planned to read a little bit of this book in bed last night and ended up finishing it at 4am. Oops. So I loved it. This book has an unlikable heroine, at least in the beginning. She's a snob and I love her. She runs off the day after getting married to a cruel old Duke with a man, Neal, who mistakes her for a botanist. He's confused by how different she is in person vs her letters. Lowell writes beautifully. She reminds me of Sherry Thomas.

I really enjoyed this sequel to Just Ella. And while Ella wasn‘t the main character, she does appear in this book, so we get to see what she‘s up to.

Another great addition to this series. On the surface it‘s a detective series, but the author is absolutely brilliant at weaving in other themes and politically important issues. In this one the continuing Syrian civil war. My heart breaks for all those refugees, unwanted anywhere. 💔

The Great Winglebury Duel | Charles Dickens

I want to like Dickens - I really do - because once you cut out all the random, rambling, repetitive filler his story lines themselves are excellent, and this is the perfect example. The first story, The Great Winglebury Duel, was the better of the two but definitely would have benefitted from some editing nonetheless.

An edge of your seat mystery/thriller. I really enjoyed this book.

I really wanted to love this book. I loved Scream All Night soooooo much that I was hoping to find the same magic here, and I didn‘t. I should probably say that this book was a “Jimmy” book (a.k.a. James Patterson Presents), and unfortunately it reads like one. In all honestly the story line is incredibly similar to Scream All Night but with different actions. You have a young man of 17 years old with problems in his past and family issues

LibrarianRyan that cause him to “run away” in this case to boarding school. The book is about finding who this young man will grow up to be as an adult, but in the guise of a Tinder app gone horribly wrong. This book wants to be a gay James Bond, but our hereo is neither smooth, or willing, and just a nervous wreck. Overall I liked the book, but it‘s forgettable. It makes me not want to pick up the authors next book. 4y
