  When her best friend, Reese Marigold, goes missing after attending Last Chance, an exclusive singles' retreat on a remote island off the coast of Hawaii, no-nonsense lawyer Ann Stone infiltrates the retreat. Ann quickly realizes there's more to Last Chance than meets the eye. The extravagant clothes, never-ending interviews, and bizarre dates hint that the retreat is a front for a reality dating show. Could Reese be safe, keeping a low profile until the premier, or did something sinister occur after all? Torn between the need to uncover the truth and her desperate desire to get off the island, Ann partakes in the unusual routines of the "journey to true love" and investigates the other attendees who all have something to hide. In a final attempt to find Reese on the compound, she realizes that she herself may never get off the island alive. My Review My first thought as I was reading this book was that I was getting 9 Perfect Strangers vibes. It sure felt like the ...

  To save her best friend from the horrors of Nazi Germany, an invisible girl must embark on an utterly unforgettable journey of redemption and revenge. The Vanishing is fierce and loving, devastating and compelling, a breathtaking blend of history, fiction, and magical realism. My Review I have read a handful of books that featured the Holocaust. Which with present day, this book is appropriate to read. Although, sad to say this as it feels like we have gone back in time versus progressing and accepting everyone.  Warning though as there are scenes that can be a bit graphic at times. However, it is nothing to shy away from as many did die. As a young girl I did feel bad for Sophie that she was witnessing all of these horrors as she tried to help her friend Giddy. Mr. Slater makes you really feel for Sophie and Giddy. Therefore, you will find yourself cheering for Sophie.  I think it is books like this that need to be read to remember the past so that we don't repeat hist...

  Three days ago, all Maisy Norgate had was a stack of bills, about a gazillion jobs, and her sunny-as-hell outlook.

Which is exactly when a ridiculously handsome guy claiming to be an angel shows up at her door and all hell breaks loose… Nephilim Rhys Boyce cannot  believe  that Maisy is the new Keeper of the Key. Why would anyone bequeath this warm, bubbly redhead the key to Hell? And to make matters worse, she’s given the key to the first person who asked for it.  A demon .

  Prescott Wentworth is my brother's best friend and teammate. We hate each other. But we also can't keep our hands off each other. The day I met the star wide receiver, he was acting like a grumpy ass, and I was so over big, bulky men messing with my life. He was gorgeous, with wide shoulders, a chiseled jaw hidden behind a week’s worth of scruff, and the meanest glare I've seen in my life. So what if he was injured during a game? At least he's alive, not that he appreciates it. Now it's a new school year, but some things never change. Like the sizzling tension between Prescott and me every time we’re in the same room. But the more we fight, the more I want to shut him up. With my mouth. Then he sees me on a date with someone else, and something in him snaps. The deal is simple: it's just sex, and nobody can ever find out. Especially not my brother. But then the demons from my past come back to haunt me. The darker they become, the more I need Prescott. And I’m...
