Cheat on your Cell Phone With a Good Book

This is one of the only times I would advocate cheating of any kind--on your cell phone, with a good book. 😜 I hope that you find fabulous reading material that makes you feel something, especially one that takes you on a great story ride. The following are options if you're interested in romance novels, but please take note, they are for mature audiences.

Rescuing Rayne by Susan Stoker:  Delta Special Forces soldier, Ghost (that's his name), and flight attendant, Rayne experienced what they thought was a special and passionate one-night stand they would never repeat again.  They didn’t give each other any contact information and Ghost, especially, was not forth-coming about who he was due to the sensitivity of his occupation.  As fate would have it though, they meet again in the most dangerous of circumstances—vividly described--and they have to figure out a way to come out alive.  And if they do survive the circumstance they find themselves in, can they continue their relationship—or more accurately start one?  I super enjoyed this book.  There’s a few suspenseful moments and lots of romantic moments.  

 

 

When We Were Us (Keeping Score Series Book 1) by Tawdra Kandle: This is the introduction story of best friends since birth, Leo, Quinn & Nate. Leo is the athletic football star, Quinn is the pretty & quirky writer, & Nate is the spirited (brutally honest) but health challenged one always trying to physically keep up with the others. When they were kids, it was all simple, but growing up makes things much more complicated. Feelings start to develop and trying to navigate making choices isn’t that easy.  Add to that the unpredictability of life and these three have a lot of things going on.  But I was so engrossed in the story.  Quinn is especially a character I admired—kind-hearted & unselfish. It is a cliff hanger so be aware there are other books that continue the story.
