Alex Cooper’s professional and personal life. Just as she’s claiming an especially gratifying victory in a rape case, she gets the call: the body of a young woman has been found in an abandoned building.

For those of you who like more of the softer side of books vs. the nitty gritty suspense thillers (which there is nothing wrong with that). Here is a book for you. Home is often where you least expect it Hannah Matthews is undeniably tough—a single mom, a top-tier PR exec, a breast cancer survivor. On the job and in her family she prides herself on being go-to Hannah, who can handle any crisis. But with her eighty-five-year-old grandmother balking at going into a retirement home, her twenty-year-old daughter unexpectedly pregnant and an old flame suddenly underfoot, Hannah is facing a few crises of her own. And being back home on Seaview Key is most definitely adding to the stress. Luke Stevens has some serious issues, as well. While he was serving in Iraq, his wife dumped him for his best friend, his kids are furious because he left them, and he shared his medical practice with the man who's now sleeping with his wife. Seaview Key, where he grew up, seems like the perfect place to...

I have been wondering this question lately. Does it have to have a lot of romance? What about suspense? Or is just because your favorite author wrote the book? For myself it can be a combination of any of those things but I would have to say the most important aspect of a good book is how it all flowed together. Was the storyline easy to follow and did I feel like the author got their point across in the book. I have come across some books like this before where it just seems liked it fell short or something was missing. I would love to hear for all of you on what you think. Warning! If you haven't found that good book than you are in for a treat as I have a guest stopping by very soon. I will give you a little hint on who it is.
