Lies Jane Austen Told Me

Written by: Julie Wright
Emma Pierce, hopeless romantic and Jane Austen lover, and all things regency, wants her own happily ever after. After years of heartbreak and realizing her old boyfriend is only in it for a hook-up she realizes, Jane Austen lies. In fact-

"Jane Austen is a horrific liar.
I used to believe that Jane, my Jane, could never be wrong about anything. She was the quintessential authority on all things to do with love, romance, and matrimony... But as I moved into my midtwenties and no men ever acted as gallantly as Mr. Knightley or Mr. Darcy... I came to a startling and wretched revelation.
Jane never found love."

Julie Wright has created a modern book worth of Austen dramatics. With Emma in a love triangle with two brothers who are very different at a time when she decides to focus on her career, Emma is put into quite the conundrum. This conundrum creates humorous situations and witty banter as the romantic feelings grow. Emma's conflict of finding love vs. awkward family situations has the reader cheering her on, hoping she finds her happily ever after. When I am drawn into the story and excited to keeping turning the pages, I know I have found a good book.

 Covert Ops Written by: Traci Hunter Abramson Teaser: “ Sienna and Craig’s wedding is just around the corner—but with a looming terrorist threat, the quest to make it down the aisle has just turned into a battle to survive.”   Review: I was so excited to read this book. Traci Hunter Abramson set up such a great premise to this story with all of the Saint Squad novels leading up to this one. With Sienna and Craig's wedding along with all of the political hoopla going on, this story does not rest. Traci writes such great suspense! I was left wondering throughout the story whether they they were going to get their happily ever after! There was romance, suspense, and the amazing Saint Squad. Any story with the Saint Squad is full of laughter and adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to end.

Sleep Robin Hood Outlaws: Book Three Written by: M.C. Frank Sleep Robin Hood is a fantastic continuation of the Outlaws series. With action, adventure, romance, suspense, and everything in-between this story hooked me. I can't wait for the next year to pass so I can read the next installation in this retelling. The characters have such passion and feelings that go between hope, despair, and betrayal. I don't want to say too much for fear of giving something away but this series is a well-written depiction of the tale of Robin Hood.
