Kathmandu (Leo Keane International Thriller Book 1)

I was sent a copy of this book from the author, Luke Richardson in exchange for my honest review.

45449087. sy475

Leo is an anxiety ridden man, recently unemployed and hung up on his ex Mya.  Mya disappeared over 2 years ago.  At his lowest point, Leo is approached by a millionaire who offers him money to go to Kathmandu and find his elusive daughter.  Thinking this could be a way to find Mya again, Leo jumps at the chance.

Allissa is desperately trying to run from her family and the secrets she is forced to carry.  The last thing she wants is to be found.

Leo and Allissa soon meet and realize they just might have to rely on each other to escape the city that is not as peaceful as it appears.

This book was very fast-paced.  As I read it, I felt like the pages were coming to life.  The descriptions were so well done that this read like a movie.  The plot was great.  Character development was definitely there.  I was interested in not only Leo and Allissa, but the secondary book characters as well.  The only thing that irked me about the book was Leo's devotion to his disappearing girlfriend.  Dude, she left you 2 years ago.  If she wanted to be found, she would have made herself known.  Build that bridge and get over it.  (Besides she sounded like a total drag and he could do so much better)

I read this in a matter of days, and I was not disappointed.  It seems like it took me forever to get to this book because my TBR is out of control.  Now I'm kicking myself for having waited so long.  Don't sleep on this book-it's definitely worth the read.  Hong Kong-the second book in the Leo Keane timeline is out now.  If you have Kindle Unlimited you can read it for free.

Thank you for letting me escape into Leo's world, Luke.  You have a great book on your hands.

Heartless by Elsie Silver

Elsie Silver has once again proven why she’s an auto buy author for me after reading this book! Cade is SUCH A GRUMP and I love him so much for it. Reading book 1, Willa was easily one of my most favorite characters, and I frequently blew up my bestie’s phone with things like “Willa just said _____.” It’s no surprise to me that I also loved her in this story. I’m not huge on age gap romances for my own insane reasons, but I thought it was done well here. Overall, I loved everything about this book. I had an absolute blast while reading it, and it now sits on my shelf as one of my most treasured books.

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 ...

When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Emily Henry

 If you thought I hated Great Big Boring Life, just wait until you hear about my thoughts on this one! Seriously, I think Emily Henry and I are about to break up forever. It’s not me, it’s her. The premise for this book was really fantastic, but the execution was a total failure. The characters weren’t engaging, and I found myself hate reading this one. There are too many monotonous characters that run together, and I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them. There was supposed to be a found family trope somewhere in this one, but maybe I missed it because I was too busy rolling my eyes at the stupidity of it all. Speaking of stupidity, let’s talk about this “ending.” This ending filled me so full of rage that I was stomping around my house yelling “do you believe this crap” to my dog. Spoiler alert, she didn’t get it either.  I would say the only good thing about this book is the cover, but that’s ruined because of the steaming pile of trash that was the ending, so I can’t ...
