New Release Audiobook Review: The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia

 

The Business TripThe Business Trip by Jessie Garcia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although this started out a bit slow, the second half picked up and I was hooked. I really enjoyed the audiobook, especially since each character was voiced by a different narrator. I found it to be full of twists and turns and quite clever. The ending was not what I expected at all, and although I found it a bit far-fetched, I still enjoyed the ride. I will definitely be looking for more from this author.

OF Cover Final.png

It’s a man’s world.

When I declared sports medicine as my major and every man narrowed their eyes, that saying proved true. It was true when my ex-husband decided I’d give up my career when our daughter was born. And again when I divorced the Chief of Police in our small town, and he made it painfully clear that I could leave him, but I would never be free.

Landing the job as the new athletic trainer for Stratford’s high school team is my chance to start over. And walking into a male-dominated sport and staff, I’m ready for the challenge.

I’m not ready for Jordan Becker.

The head coach of our championship winning team is a Herculean force of nature—as severe as he is determined. His icy blue eyes and permanent scowl drive the women in this town mad, and his quiet power and undeniable command conjure respect from every man.

When I join his team, I expect the doubt and anticipate the fight from him. And I get them both.
I don’t expect to form a friendship.

And I never expect to fall for him.

My breath catches when those cool eyes fall to my lips. My body comes alive when his is near. And as those lines begin to blur, every warning bell sounds.

My job, my reputation are on the line.

And my ex is around every corner, waiting to remind me of his power.

It’s a man’s world, and if I want to survive, I can never fall in love with Jordan Becker.

Even if he falls in love with me first.

My review: 5 stars!
The first three books in Kandi Steiner's Becker Brothers series were fantastic, but when I saw that book 4, Old Fashioned, was a sport romance, I knew there was a good chance I'd call it my favorite when I was done. And I was correct! This book was a great wrap-up to the series mystery and I loved how much we got to catch up with Jordan's brother who were featured in the first three books. Jordan and Sydney's story was amazing and so engrossing. Their attraction and romance was explosive and I loved them together. Jordan's interactions with Sydney's football-loving daughter Paige was such a big part of the book- I was so impressed with how protective and supportive he was of her. Old Fashioned had just the right amount of angst and steam and I am so happy with how the series ended. This series is a must-read.

About Kandi:

Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a diehard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.

New Release Review: The Lies We Told by Camilla Way

by Camilla Way
Release Date: October 9, 2018

The highly acclaimed author of Watching Edie returns with a new novel of dark psychological suspense that explores how those closest to us have the most to hide...

A daughter
Beth has always known there was something strange about her daughter, Hannah. The lack of emotion, the disturbing behavior, the apparent delight in hurting others...Sometimes Beth is scared of her and what she could be capable of.

A son
Luke comes from the perfect family, with the perfect parents. But one day, he disappears without a trace, and his girlfriend, Clara, is desperate to discover what has happened to him.

A life built on lies
As Clara digs into the past, she realizes that no family is truly perfect, and uncovers a link between Luke's long-lost sister and a strange girl named Hannah. Now Luke's life is in danger because of the lies once told and the secrets once kept. Can Clara find him before it's too late?

My review: 4 stars
I love a good psychological suspense novel and The Lies We Told by Camilla Way did not disappoint. The author gives us two story lines- one set in 1986 and the other in the present. I thought the dual story line worked *so* well- I was trying my best to figure out how they would be connected but will admit to not having it all figured out by the time it was revealed. I felt very invested in the characters- in particular Clara. There were so many twists and deep dark secrets! I really enjoyed this book and was quite surprised at the ending.

Review: Bad Mommy by Tarryn Fisher

 by Tarryn Fisher

When Fig Coxbury buys a house on West Barrett Street, it's not because she likes the neighborhood, or even because she likes the house. It's because everything she desires is next door: The husband, the child, and the life that belongs to someone else. 

My review: 5 stars
Well, a friend loaned me Bad Mommy, and what a mind-f*** that was! When I was done, I had no idea what I had just read, but I gave it 5 stars! Ha! Seriously, Tarryn is genius at psychological suspense. I'd suggest going into this one blind- reading the blurb is fine, but don't read any reviews that might spoil any of the story. It's best revealed as you read.
