February Reads

…and now back to my regularly scheduled randomness….

  1. Heavy Hitters – Mike Lupica – Book 3 of the Game Changers series. Yeah, I know.  It’s a kids book.  My son read it for a book report for school and so I could help him, I read it too.  It was a good book centered around baseball although those eleven year old kids seemed awfully mature…
  2. Loving the Billionaire – Christina Tetreault – novella in the Sherbrookes of Newport series.  Where it all began–Callie’s parents Ruth and Warren.
  3. Always Loving You – Sydney Landon – Book 6 of the Danvers series.  Now that Mac has moved on, Ava is scrambling to get him back.
  4. One Long Embrace – Tina Folsom – Book 5 of the Eternal Bachelors Club series.  Tara thinks she’s slumming with Jay, but when she discovers his ruse, he’s got his work cut out to get her back.
  5. Maximum Risk – Ruth Cardello – Book 3 of the Andrades series. Tara gets sucked into the Andrade family soap opera when Maddy hires her to get to the bottom of the big family secret, but is able to get loner Max back into the fold with his brothers.
  6. Against the Sky – Kat Martin – Book 2 of the Brodies of Alaska series.  Nick and Samantha only intended for it to be a weekend fling in Vegas, but when they explore the possibility of more, they get tangled up with the Russian Mob and a murder investigation.
  7. Curveball – VK Sykes – Book 4 of the Philadelphia Patriots series.  Taylor orchestrates a trade that changes Ryan’s entire career.  As they deal with one curveball after another, their lives become more entwined by the day. (If you don’t like baseball, you might not like this one too much.)
  8. Deja Date – Susan Hatler – Novella 9 in the Better Date than Never series.  Melinda has guarded her heart since she was fourteen and lost her best friend, her dog and her dad all in the same year.  Now Nate has returned to show her how to embrace life and actually live it.
  9.  A Little on the Wild Side – Robin Kaye – Book 3 of the Wild Thing series.  When Trapper discovers Bianca is pregnant and not taking care of herself, he goes all Alpha on her, repeatedly screwing up as he tries to win her over.

The Sullivans

Recently, Amazon listed the entire series of The Sullivans by Bella Andre as their Kindle Daily Deal.  The books normally run $4.99 each, but on that day they were only $1.99!  Of the 13 books and 1 novella currently available, I was missing 4 of them.  Needless to say, I snatched them up pronto. The first eight books focus on each of the San Francisco Sullivan siblings.  Book nine is a look back at how Mom and Dad met.  Then the series moves north to Seattle where the Sullivan cousins live.  In addition to the 13 published full-length books, there are at least 2 more in the works. At the top of my TBR pile this month are the 6 Sullivan books I have not read (I already had 2 downloaded before last month).

#5 – If You Were Mine – Cuddles, an untrained puppy, bring Zach and Heather together, but will the ghosts of their fathers rip them apart?

#7 – Come a Little Bit Closer – Smith’s career as a world class actor brought Valentina to him, but it might also keep them apart.

#9 – The Way You Look Tonight – A childhood crush becomes so much more when Rafe and Brooke are reunited after nearly 20 years. (Seattle Sullivans #1)

#11 – It Must Be Your Love – Mia never got over the week long fling with rocker Ford.  Now, five years later, he’s back and he wants a lot more than just a week this time. (Seattle Sullivans #2)

#12 – Just to Be With You – Ian fights his attraction for Tatiana after the disaster that was his first first marriage. (Seattle Sullivans #3)

#13 – I Love How You Love Me – Dylan was ready when Grace and her son Mason came into his life and did everything he could to convince her to stay. (Seattle Sullivans #4)
