Overview

She survived undercover in Moscow. Will her daughter’s kidnapping kill her?

CIA operative Nina Abrams is an invaluable asset to the Moscow office—an American who can think like a Russian. As the daughter of Stalin’s favorite portraitist, she never underestimates the Kremlin’s lethal games. But when her four-year-old daughter, Katie, disappears in a bloody kidnapping, grief paralyzes Nina, and the Agency sends her home.

Seven tough years later, her heavily medicated father’s shocking last words link Katie’s disappearance to missing nuclear warheads powerful enough to start World War III. Nina is doubtful—until vandals ransack her father’s studio and leave a grisly reminder of that horrific night in Moscow. So Nina embarks on one harrowing final mission: find the bombs that might provide closure about Katie—and maybe save the world.

But Nina’s not the only one after the loose nukes—and her competition is deadly.

Review

In a dimly lit London pub, Natalie shared one unforgettable night with a charming stranger. No real names. No expectations. Just a perfect goodbye to a chapter of her life she was desperate to close. Now that stranger is a party guest on the arm of her older sister.

Y’all!! Nothing like a bit of family drama with a bit of mysterious charm of a stranger to draw you into a story and keep you there.

Natalie has had a fabulous encounter with a handsome stranger and this mysterious man has been in her dreams ever since. And believe me…when she realizes he is on the arm of her sister months later…it takes everything she has not give anything away!

I just love Suzy England’s writing. She has some great romantic stories that have you grinning, smiling and loving every minute of what you are reading! Oh! And do not forget handsome, magnetic characters to keep you falling for all the red flags.

Need a romance that proves the best men come with a little mystery….THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

Overview

Two women from different generations connect over their shared need to recover from trauma as they attempt to heal and begin their lives anew, from the bestselling author of The Dressmaker’s Gift and The Beekeeper’s Promise.

“Sisters of the Midnight Sun takes us to extraordinary places, while reminding us of the twinned importance of courage and delight.”—Elizabeth Kostova, author of The Shadow Land

2001: Overwhelmed by grief in the wake of losing her twin sister, Ruby Reid has come to the north of Scotland to escape. Her new job as companion to Hanna Kristiansen, an elderly woman living on a rugged homestead in the wild and remote Shetland Islands, offers plenty of challenges and a welcome distraction from the devastating choice Ruby has to make.

1940: Hanna’s quiet life on the fjords of northern Norway is overturned when her hometown is attacked and her country falls into the hands of Nazi occupiers. But the Norwegians are a people as resilient as the ancient bedrock of their land. With her twin sister Hanna becomes involved in the resistance movement, fighting to end the war that has taken so much from her. She’s sent to Scotland for training, where she falls for a charismatic member of the shadowy special forces supporting Norway’s fight for freedom. Though she’s torn between staying and going, Hanna must return to her homeland, leaving her new love behind, and face the dangerous underground work that lies ahead.

As Hanna shares her story, Ruby begins to navigate the path of her grief. Hanna in turn finds comfort in discovering that confiding in her younger friend is helping them both heal. Ruby also learns that, like the beautiful untamed land of Hanna’s rural croft, there is strength to be found in fragility, as well as hope for new life, in the wildness of an island at the end of the world.

Review

This author has quite a few books. And I have never read any of them. I am going to go back and pick up her others.

This is told in two points of view, Hanna and Ruby.

Overwhelmed by grief in the wake of losing her twin sister, Ruby Reid has come to the north of Scotland to escape. Her new job is a companion to Hanna Kristiansen, an elderly woman living on a rugged homestead in the wild and remote Shetland Islands. But Hanna is hiding her own past! And as Hanna slowly begins to trust Ruby, she opens up about her pain and her grief.

First off, let me say I loved the setting. I have not read very many books set on the Shetland Islands. This author did a fabulous job with this location. I could just picture it. Add in Hanna’s past and her fight for the freedom for Norway in the 1940s, and you have a unique read.

The only reason I gave this four stars instead of five is that when Hanna started talking about her past, the story slowed down a bit. But it picked up and it got better and better as it went along.

Overview

Eldest sister Caroline has never been happier. The family business is thriving, her kids are great, and her sister Emerson’s hunky costar has absolutely swept her off her feet. But when her not-quite-ex-husband decides it’s high time he begged Caroline for a second chance, she is thrown into the midst of a love triangle she never saw coming. Caroline is the family fixer and, when her sisters Sloane and Emerson and daughter Vivi need her help with their troubles, she has to decide whether to swoop in and save them—or if it’s finally time to focus on what she wants. 

Matriarch Ansley and her new husband, Jack, have finally hit their stride. But when a scandal rips through Peachtree Bluff—and Jack just might be at the center of it—Ansley is left questioning whether the man she has loved since she was sixteen years old, the man she fought so hard to be with, is actually who she thought he was at all.

The air is crisper, the water is calmer, but, when it comes to the Murphy family, nothing is ever quite as simple as it seems… Through it all, these Southern women must rely on their powerful family bonds and the quirky characters and small-town charm of the place that, no matter what, always calls them home. This is the kind of heartfelt fall treat that “readers will unwrap with glee” (Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author) from the “go-to for elevated beach reads” (People).

Review

I love this family! This is book 5 in the Peachtree Bluff series. It is not necessary you read them in order. But, it might help you understand Ainsley and the drama surrounding her now husband Jack! And trust me, THAT is full of some family secrets right there!

But that is not all the drama…boy! Just hang on to your seat! Caroline has hooked up with her sister’s hot co-star! And I loved it. If anyone deserves to fall in love it is the family fixer, Caroline! And she fell hard…and so did he!

This is such a quick, fun southern tale. And y’all know I love my southern dramas and no one writes them quite like this author!
