Too many words - too many commas. Difficult to read.

Lucky for us Bill Clinton the former two term president of the USA continues to write with James Patterson. Former president Clinton brings Patterson to credible writing. If not for Clinton I would not be reading Patterson. The First Gentleman is a must summer read. Fast paced especially the courtroom scenes. A couple of bizarre twists and turns but I didn't care, I figured Patterson wrote them. Looking for the next presidential adventure.

Definitely my favorite Jeneva Rose book. A captivating story with multiple plot twists that keep pulling you in and wanting more.

A mystery in reverse, a book written backwards, starting with the end of the story, and tracing the situation backwards. Layer by layer we understand how the couple got to the place they are today, and what has kept them bound them together, while tearing them apart. It was quite fascination learning how they their story started. An interesting read, once you get the pattern realizing that you are sort of reading backwards.

Another book in the Shana Merchant series. Another good one!

This novel was definitely one of my favorite recently read books. it is very well written. I was not expecting the ending at all. I actually thought I had the plot figured out but at the very end was surprised. I highly recommend this book.

Theo quits law school in Australia and moves to stay with her brother, Gus, in the US. While pursuing her new writing career, she meets another author, older and famous, and falls in love. One day when he doesn’t show up for their daily meeting, Theo goes to his house to find him brutally murdered. With no other clues, the police investigate Theo and Gus as the main suspects. To protect Gus, Theo signs up with a publishing company that will promise a new identity and protection if she continues to write as the alias and disappears. Gus tries to find Theo for years and then a book is published that is exactly what Theo was working on before her disappearance. Can Gus find his sister and can Theo escape the confines of the publishing company? This book was a quick read and kept you interested. I recommend The Mystery Writer a try.

This story is set in China during the 1800s. The fate of girls and women were tied to male society. During that time mothers bound their daughters feet. Generally, the feet of girls born in the country were not bound. This story is about two young girls: Little Flower and Lingjing. Little Flower’s mother bound her feet to give her a good chance of marriage. Lingjing’s father interceded in the binding of his daughter’s feet so she was released from the process. When Little Flower’s father dies, her mother needs to make a deal for her daughter’s future. The fate of both girls is sealed. The look at Chinese culture as well as twists and turns in the life of the two girls was fascinating. I could not put this book down. I was engaged in all the twists and turns in little Flowers’ life.

I really wanted to like this book more than I did. There were moments I was drawn in but my interest didn't stay throughout the book.

This was a great summer read for me. It kept me interested and wanting to keep reading to see what happened next. I am not a fast reader at all but was able to finish in a few days and really enjoyed this book. I would recommend it for a quick easy read.
