MaryAnn Clarke's A Forged Affair

My sincerest apologies-this should have been featured on my blog last week, but I'm still getting used to running a Gmail account instead of Yahoo! and it was lost in a folder I've never used!  I know, I know.  Shame on me.  I'm so sorry! 🙈


MaryAnn Clark Scott
A FORGED AFFAIR
Release Date: June 14
Women's Fiction/Contemporary Romance

About the book:
New from MaryAnn Clarke Scott, Award-winning author of The Art of Enchantment.

She welcomes any risk, as long as it doesn’t involve her own carefully guarded heart.

Adrenaline junkie, Niki Ballantyne is a risk-taker at work and at play. Haunted by guilt over her brother’s tragic death, she’s devoted to saving others in trouble.

While on an adventure holiday in the south of France, she meets handsome and charming traveler Luc and his shy friend, the gentle giant Didier.

Helping the bullied blacksmith win the love of another woman is not a typical rescue project for Niki, but she’s driven by compassion for her lonely new friend. Bittersweet memories of her brother’s life compel Niki to stay and support the star-crossed giant.

Their forged affair is perfectly safe.

There’s no risk of getting emotionally involved, but teaching him about intimacy comes with consequences, and lesson to be learned.

Particularly when it comes to Luc. On the cusp of a life-altering decision, Luc is drawn to daredevil Niki, though she upends his carefully laid plans for a perfect future. Despite instant chemistry and a powerful connection, Niki pushes him away.

But when a sudden emergency brings Luc to her rescue, the way he sees her vulnerability scares her more than anything. Now she has to decide if the last thing she ever wanted might be exactly what she needs.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill.  She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet.  I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living i

First Post-Here We Go!

This is still a little insane to me.  Last week I wasn't even thinking a Bookstagram would be possible for me, let alone a blog!  What if I'm not interesting?  What if my reviews are terrible?  What if I actually have BAD taste in books? I guess we're going to find out.  Follow me.  Be patient with me.  Grow with me.  Let's explore as many amazing stories, wonderful authors, and unforgettable books as we can! 💙

Less is more? An honest take on Less, by Andrew Sean Greer.

I finished this book and immediately thought, "I wish this wasn't going to be my first book review."  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?  Let's see if that's true. The plot is interesting enough.  Arthur Less is a failure.  He's a failed novelist.  He's also a failed lover, proven by the wedding invitation from his ex that shows up in his mail.  The love of his life has found someone else to love.  What does he do, as a functioning adult?  He accepts invitations to participate in literary events around the world in an attempt to avoid the nuptials.  Less travels to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, and Japan in an effort to avoid his grief.  This is a love story, a satirical look at Americans abroad, and an honest, if not painful look at relationships and how they progress over time. Sounds entertaining enough, right?  This book was 260 pages and I felt every single one of them.  I trudged through this book with all the grac
