Reviews
"If you was sex this is the book for you."
"Great book; well written; wanted to try 6 brothers!"
"The sex scenes sounded like a regurgitation of scenes read from other books."
"I liked that Rye Hart made each of the six Trent brothers unique - that's an item that must be checked for me to consider suspending my reality and entering the present now for any author. I know she wanted to start a YouTube channel giving relationship advice......but I read this yesterday and can't remember her name. Side: I don't like new titles recycling old content to increase pages read."
"Kyra was trying to teach a rowdy sex education class in New York where the students were more experienced than she was! When her class was finished, she noticed that this last batch of messages was from the Trent brothers, her Dad’s neighbors who wanted to know when she was coming home. Kyra’s Dad picked her up at the plane and, noticing the ring missing from her finger, merely said, “Good riddance”! When the six Trent brothers, now grown up and gorgeous, also noticed the missing engagement ring, all systems were “GO”! Even Kyra’s Dad, who had an initial struggle relating to her after his wife died and she was only 10, was strong and supportive of her."
"None of the brothers knows the depth of feelings each of his brothers has fro Kyra."
"They were great together. This was a great story."
"It could have been great but it was lacking in character story and not only that but it’s true about the fact her sister is mentioned once and is never heard from again."

"This is the first book I've read by this author, but after the enjoyment I received from this novel I will definitely be getting more! I think i fell in love with the book around chapter 20, when the dogs get added to the chaos!"
"I have read a few other books recently about fake relationships that develop into more, but I was pleasantly surprised that this seemed to be just the jumping off point for their story. One of my favorite parts of the book was all the secondary characters that made up the town of Benevolence."
"I seriously just couldn't stop reading this book."
"However, 30 minutes into the story and I realized I had found a real gem so I backtracked, purchased and made it one of my new favorites! Harper Wilde and Luke Garrison are a couple that meet by chance and both are at a crossroads in life."
"There was the small town atmosphere, strong families, past tragedies and heartbreak, evil lurking, but in the end Harper and Luke end up where they were destined to be, with each other!"
"I only have a few cons: there were a handful of grammatical errors, and the language Lucy used at some points in the story was a bit off putting."
"This was one of those stories where intellectually I figured they would most likely end up together, seeing as this IS a romance novel; I was still chewing my nails and at the edge of my seat when everything was up in the air. There are some trigger points here for some--if mentions of abuse and death are going to bother you, it's probably best not to pick up this Military romance."

"In Surprise Package, Blair enters a strip club to hire a male escort to pose as her fíance for Christmas. Samson is the owner of the strip club, but is intrigued enough by Blair on first meeting that he plays along. Blair is childish and naive and thinks her Mom will allow her to drop out of college if she brings home a fíance. Sam is a photographer taking photos of rich people at galas, but dreams of wildlife photography. From the lackluster chemistry to the unlikely and over the top coincidences (Jack's truck, rhino horns, trip to same village, etc. Emma works at a diner in a small town and lives in a trailer park. Vincent is on a company retreat and meets Gemma when she has a flat and he stops to help. Vincent introduces Gemma to his best friends, Nash and Casper and their women Bonnie and Lily."
"She wants a fake fiancé in order to drop out of Harvard law and pursue art, so she cooks up an engagement so her mother will get off her back. The mother is a narcissist who also acts irrationally the entire book— a trope all her own. For instance, the mother gives them a suite of rooms to share, seemingly out of character for the young daughter. She gets naked too and walks around completely uninhibited— yeah, not the shy virgin reaction to a stranger you hired a day before walking in naked — get naked, get in the tub and suds up with him. It just goes down hill from there."
"The placement of the "F" word didn't even make sense to use it and the "C" word, sorry no woman wants to read or imagine it being used."
"I almost felt like I was watching those old silent movies where the villains pull on their long curly mustache and draws a cape across half their face."

Reviews
"I would've maybe given it two stars if I checked it out at the local library for free, but I'm annoyed I invested my hard earned American dollars into this book. I seriously don't understand if everyone is just reading into the completely non-thought provoking "poems" in this book and making up their own deep meaning or if I'm just totally missing the boat on this one. If you told me my 9-year-old nephew and 6-month-old niece collabed on this book, with him covering the poetry while she handled the artwork, I would fully believe you. If you're a 10th grader who just got dumped by Jimmy from home room and you wanna post a snapchat of one of these heart wrenching break up poems to express how angsty you are, you'll love it."
"I found Rupi Kaur (after hearing her name drifting about) when I saw a breathtaking piece by her (starting with "let me tell you about a selfish person..."). I love poetry. I love traditional poetry, struxtured poetry, unstructured poetry, modern poetry, stand up poetry, you name it. My shelves are lined with just as much edgy, modern, is-this-even-poetry books from up-and-coming poets as they are lined with TS Elliot and Tennyson."
"I have been seeing this at all of the bookstores and decided to give it a read based on the brilliant cover design and book description. It has been a while since I have read a book of poetry, but I have to say I don't feel like I just read one."
"This is some of the most trite poetry I have ever read, and exemplifies zero skill of poetic craft."
"I had so much hope for this book since it had become so popular so I was of course eager to read it."

The Hideaway
When an opportunistic land developer threatens to seize The Hideaway, Sara is forced to make a choice—stay in Sweet Bay and fight for the house and the people she’s grown to love or leave again and return to her successful but solitary life in New Orleans. “Two endearing heroines and their poignant storylines of love lost and found make this the perfect book for an afternoon on the back porch with a glass of sweet tea.” — Karen White , New York Times bestselling author. 'Denton’s first novel charms readers with her idyllic settings and wonderful cast of characters, making Sweet Bay and the Hideaway places readers will dream about. Her exquisitely lyrical writing and character-driven story is a must-read, especially for those who loved Beth Moore’s The Undoing of St. Sylvanus.” ( Library Journal -- Starred Review, DEBUT OF THE MONTH ). In addition to her fiction, she writes a monthly newspaper column about life, faith, and how funny (and hard) it is to be a parent.
Reviews
"I enjoyed the parallel storylines in this book, and found these narratives to hit just the right balance of depth and lightness - illuminating the needs and desires of these two women, while revealing their quirks and - yes, even their playful sides, in a beautiful ode to the human experience."
"I found this author in the Christian Author section and had an expectation that one or more characters would be believers or learn a lesson related to Bible scripture but none of that happened."
"As I began reading this book, I thought, can I read this one?"
"This is an appropriate title for this novel which brings back family and friends over a period of time to this house."
"The greatest thing about this book was hearing about life and love and that historical house through the eyes of different generations."
"But it reminded me too much of The Shell Seekers by Rosamund Pilcher (spelling of author may be incorrect), which is a far superior book."
"Ms. Denton has crafted an unforgettable tale of generations and how their lives interweave."
"Some authors have a gift of pulling you into the story and making you feel you are included with the other characters as it unfolds."

Before We Were Yours: A Novel
Born into wealth and privilege, Avery Stafford seems to have it all: a successful career as a federal prosecutor, a handsome fiancé, and a lavish wedding on the horizon. But when Avery returns home to help her father weather a health crisis, a chance encounter leaves her with uncomfortable questions and compels her to take a journey through her family’s long-hidden history, on a path that will ultimately lead either to devastation or to redemption. Based on one of America’s most notorious real-life scandals—in which Georgia Tann, director of a Memphis-based adoption organization, kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country—Lisa Wingate’s riveting, wrenching, and ultimately uplifting tale reminds us how, even though the paths we take can lead to many places, the heart never forgets where we belong. Wingate is a master-storyteller, and you’ll find yourself pulled along as she reveals the wake of terror and heartache that is Georgia Tann’s legacy.” — Parade “One of the year’s best books . “Lisa Wingate takes an almost unthinkable chapter in our nation’s history and weaves a tale of enduring power.” —Paula McLain, New York Times bestselling author of Circling the Sun. A poignant, engrossing tale about sibling love and the toll of secrets.” — People “ Before We Were Yours is sure to be one of the most compelling books you pick up this year. [Lisa] Wingate is a master-storyteller, and you’ll find yourself pulled along as she reveals the wake of terror and heartache that is Georgia Tann’s legacy.” — Parade. It is almost a cliché to say a book is ‘lovingly written’ but that phrase applies clearly to Lisa Wingate’s latest novel, Before We Were Yours . This story about children taken from their parents through kidnapping or subterfuge and then placed for adoption, for a price, clearly pours out of Wingate’s heart. “This story is heartfelt and genuine, especially as Wingate explores the idea of home and family from a youngster’s point of view.” — Historical Novels Review. “Lisa Wingate takes an almost unthinkable chapter in our nation’s history and weaves a tale of enduring power. But the real feat of this stirring novel is how deeply Wingate plunges us into the heart and mind of twelve-year-old river gypsy Rill Foss. Rill’s utterly singular voice will stay with you long after the last page is turned, as will Wingate’s courage to follow her anywhere. I’m still basking in the afterglow, in shock at the true-crime elements, in awe at the journey of these characters who seem to have immortal souls.” —Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.
Reviews
"It follows the story of the Foss children in the '30s and Avery Stafford in present day, and brings to light a horrifying and shameful real-life scandal. Avery Stafford finds a puzzling photograph that leads her into an ever more confusing story of secrets and lies inside her upright, respected family."
"This is the first book I've ever read by Lisa Wingate, but having read it I will search through her other titles."
"The environments and characters come to life in this book based on the real-life scandal surrounding the Tennessee Children's Home Society from the 1930s until it was closed in 1950."
"Well written and very descriptive."
"This was a very interesting story."
"The story is well written."

A luminous debut with unexpected twists, Everything We Keep explores the devastation of loss, the euphoria of finding love again, and the pulse-racing repercussions of discovering the truth about the ones we hold dear and the lengths they will go to protect us. “You’ll need an ample supply of tissues and emotional strength for this one...From Northern California author Kerry Lonsdale comes a heart-wrenching story about fate sweeping away life in an instant.” — Sunset Magazine. Depicting grief and loss, but also healing and hope in their rawest forms, this novel will capture hearts and minds, keeping readers up all night, desperate to learn the truth.” — RT Book Reviews. “Heartfelt and suspenseful, Everything We Keep beautifully navigates the deep waters of grief, and one woman’s search to reconcile a past she can’t release, and a future she wants to embrace. With a good dose of drama, a heart-wrenching love story, and the suspense of unanswered questions, Lonsdale’s layered and engrossing debut is a captivating read.” —Karma Brown, bestselling author of Come Away With Me. She graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and is a founder of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, an online community of authors located across the globe.
Reviews
"This results in an usually fast-paced story (at least for women's fiction) of a woman struggling to overcome the grief of losing her childhood sweetheart - who was meant to be her husband - and figure out who she is in the wake of such terrible tragedy. Speaking of characters, Kerry's cast is incredibly well-developed and they feel like real people with virtues, weaknesses and plausible back story. I also want to say something about the epilogue because so many people have cited it as a reason for giving the book a low rating."
"This review is written by Bob Boze on behalf of Truth About Books. I’m always pleased to give a good review: Especially when it comes on the heels of two, not so good, reviews. So, two years after his purported death, Ian joins her, as she travels to Mexico to find her fiancée, who she is now certain is not dead. As she and Ian search for James, and the truth; secrets from their past and James’ family surface, along with her feelings for Ian and realization of what her life with James was really like. Everything We Keep not only has a unique plot, it is full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing, especially toward the end as she and Ian seek the truth in Mexico."
"I give it 4 stars out of 5 because the women are potty-mouths and the number of f-bombs increased as the story moved forward."
"It can't possibly be because everyone loves cliched writing (tell me again about her Caribbean-blue eyes), super boring lead characters who make really weird life choices, or terrible plot resolutions that make zero sense. What I want to focus on, though, is the fact that Aimee is RAPED by her boyfriends cousin/brother, and then said boyfriend is baskcally like "here, let me fix your makeup because you have to forget how he just raped you in order to help me set things straight with my family business.""

She displays a compelling blend of vulnerability and backbone and finally feels like a character women can get behind ... Best of all the book allows readers direct access to Christian Grey's deepest, darkest thoughts ... "Fifty Shades of Grey" stayed on the "New York Times" Best Seller List for 133 consecutive weeks, and in 2015 the film adaptation on which James worked as producer broke box-office records all over the world for Universal Pictures.
Reviews
"I do believe this book helped to better understand Christian I am not altogether certain it was necessary as the series was already a huge success but just as I am sure with other readers the times I really wanted to know what he was thinking came in book two and three. For instance when he and Ana marreid, what was on his mind as he and Ros made their way home after Charlie Tango crashed, and I really want into his head the night he confronted Elena at his mother's home. As far as the movie I watched it and believed it to have been as true to the book as was possible for a decent rating."
"This is my first time reading a fifty shades book and I have to say it was better than I expected."
"It had to be the same story only with a different point of view, you can read the first book again and it is the same book, but you won't get Christian's feelings."
"I really love this book. Please re-due with another voice actor because this guy's voice almost made me not want to read the book which would have been a shame!"
"It is great knowing what he is thinking also, and what is going on when Anna is not in the scene. Would like to know what really happened in Anna's appartment when Christian was alone with Leila, what they talked about, also, what he was thinking when Anna was talking to Dr Flynn, when he had to go out into the waiting room. Even knowing that this is a fictisous story, I have hope that someone out there in this day and age with all the hate in this world is having a romance like this."
