Struggling with if this book is 2 or 3 stars. I picked this book up because I thought the autism part of it sounded interesting. I liked Emily, but she was too much of a pushover. I also felt like the book was possibly misogynistic; Emily kept saying she wanted a man to take care of her and Brad ...
A different love story with a great start. Labelled as "Romantic Suspense" you don't find anything sexual in the first 9/10 of the book. There's neither much action. You get a glimpse of the life on a navy ship. Eric is described quite well as an honorable but unbelievably oldfashioned captain. W...
With a wide grin, Abby practically leaped from the bed."Are you ready for dinner?""Yes, I think all that fresh air worked up my appetite."He strode toward her, powerless at the sight of her, all swollen with child. She was lovely, even with the bruises still on her face; the radiance of that smil...
For how long she didn’t know, as she lay sprawled across the bed, blankets strewn everywhere, and Sam still on top of her. He must have sensed her stirring because he rolled off, tucking his arm under her, pulling her with him until she rested her arms on his chest. Sam reached down and pulled th...
Why are you back?” Erin said. She was standing in the doorway of his office. Samuel glanced up and rubbed his eyes. The scraps of yellow paper from his notes were scattered on his desk. He leaned back in his chair, his tie loosened around his neck, taking in the darkened offices all empty behind ...
At the same time, she felt speechless and embarrassed, sitting there as her father had the nerve to walk up front, and stand shoulder to shoulder with Ben, in front of the entire town. The final straw, which brought Carrie’s simmering rage to a full boil, was that not only had he managed to get e...
Jean picked up Maggie after Richard left to take Ryley to school. And of course, Maggie didn’t mention where she was going this morning. She knew he’d stop her. But seeing Dan’s property in daylight from the front passenger seat of Jean’s Ford Escape filled her with an unsettling sense of oddness...
There were half a dozen chairs in the middle of the room and a large plant in the corner. Logan sat down before his leg could give out, and Ben pulled over one of the wooden chairs and turned it around, straddling it. He rested his arms on the chair back and didn’t say anything as he seemed to st...
He felt a weight on him, and he seized and gasped before realizing it was Julia’s head on his chest, her arm tossed across him and leg twisted with his. He breathed a sigh of relief, thankful she was still sound asleep. His nightmares were nothing like they once were. It h...
He hated it. It was just one of those things he needed to do, as he couldn’t live in a hotel forever. Although it was comfortable, he needed to have his own place. Having Chris tag along actually made the mundane task much more enjoyable. What surprised him more than anything was how much he enjo...
The waiting was endless. Twice David had dropped down a branch and each time Mama Bear charged below. Her wrath escalated—faster, angrier, a little more out of control. Was she truly lying in wait for them? It appeared to be so. This bear was smart, and God help them, they inadvertently had come ...
Julia’s softness and her warmth was pressed against him, and she was breathing so peacefully. His brother was camped out in Dawn’s bedroom, and the girls were sharing a bed in Trinity’s, which was probably why Trinity had had no nightmares. Not that night, anyway. For Logan, it had been weeks sin...
Gabriel stood behind her quietly, holding her hand. She had used the dirty sink to clean them up as best she could, tucking a cloth, a towel, and a bar of soap in the plastic bag she carried and then returning the key to the balding, overweight attendant behind the counter. &nbs...
For Eric, being forced to admit his weak points had been a hard pill to swallow. He had always prided himself on being able to lead, but he’d realized, as the team walked through their outline of the camp and their plan to find Joe, along with the body of their fallen team member and the women, t...
