Second Chance Highway: A Sequel by Lori Keesey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a bit surprising for me. It starts off in panic mode. Ginny is leaving an abusive relationship with just her daughter and a prayer. She sets off to her new life and there are twists and turns along the way. Then things start to calm down and there is a sense that Ginny is going to find her peace. That is, until more drama ensues, but this time a more welcomed drama. I almost gave up on this story at one point but I'm glad that I didn't because it turned out to be a very good read. Redemption and finding oneself are the common threads through this one.

This is part of a series and while most books these days in a series don't require them to be read in order, I highly suggest that this series be read in order. There is something about the connections from the first book that carry over into the second that will be missed if these are read out of order.

Dodging Mr. Right (Hooked In Series) by Anastasia Alexander

 

Dodging Mr. Right: A Novel by Anastasia Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tiffany is pretty happy with the life she has planned out for herself. Everything is going just as planned until the job promotion comes with an added bonus she was not expecting. Not only is she being promoted, but she now has to travel with the most annoying nephew of her employer.

Xander is very free-spirited, quite the opposite of Tiffany, and together they are going to travel around evaluating different accounts that are undertaken by the company that Tiffany works for. She's not sure she can handle this wild and crazy man in her life, she'd just assume do the work herself.

This is another fun read by this new-to-me author. This is third book I've read by her, but I have not read them in order. It's all good though because these are stand alone reads. This has been a great series and I'm looking forward to reading more of this author's works. She does a great job of creating characters that are realistic and could be your family and/or friends.

Catching Mr. Perfect: A Novel by Anastasia Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There probably aren't a lot of women reading this book that can avoid finding some common ground with Opal. She is the picture of most modern women today. She's hardworking and doing her best to stay afloat, all while balancing thousands of other things in the background. I am Opal!

Denver shows up one day and leaves a huge mess, which causes Opal loss of time and finances. He keeps coming back like a sore thumb wanting to help out and he asks a lot of questions. Opal just doesn't have the time but maybe if she made some for him, things would get better.

This book is very relatable with characters that feel like family and friends. This book is a stand alone in a part of a great series by this new-to-me author. I'm really enjoying her books!

Whispers in the Night by J.C. Valentine

 

Whispers in the Night by J.C. Valentine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love a good book that keeps me so engaged that I can read it in one setting without missing a beat. This is one of those books! Harper walked away from her FBI career but there's a case just keeps haunting her. Too many similarities are popping up and she fears that she may know more than she'd like about the identity of the suspect. She puts her cap back on and decides to solve this one for good. However, she's met her match in Detective Silas Kane. He's quick to let her know she's not welcome here. Harper starts seeing his mistakes and does her best to work together with him. Together, can they solve this case before more women end up dead?

This is an enemies to lovers style read and I really enjoy the ones where the relationships take time and a lot of work to get to that point. This is a great example of that. I really enjoyed the storyline and was kept engaged the entire time. I do want to go back and read the first book. This is a standalone series but there is an overarching between them all. I look forward to reading more by this author.
