Reading has taken a back seat to our newest arrival! Our grandson was born 2 wks early on Thursday, June 12. I've been spending time at my daughter's home helping out with the baby.
Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:
Dee has long been a favorite author of mine. I have liked her books since the O'Malley series ended. This was not only entertaining but educational. I enjoyed learning about submarines, sonar, as well as loving the setting of the book as my dad worked at this base. Gina and Mark's relationship slowly evolved as they worked together on her discoveries. Fast, paced with great action and characters.
Will Robie and Jessica Reel are reluctantly called for a mission. No one in government wants them, but know they are the best at doing what needs to be done. Meanwhile, Jessica gets a call that reveals her background. After Will and Jessica complete their mission, the First Family is targeted by an unknown assassin. Fast paced, high octane action brilliantly narrated by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy. I hope there will be more Will and Jessica books.
*Thanks to Mitch and Hachette Audio for this review copy*
Carson, Dora and Harper are invited by their mamaw to return to Sullivan Island, NC and reconnect with each other over the summer. They have been separated by distance, circumstances and time. Each has issues to deal with and hope the return will help. Sisters, secrets, forgiveness and reconciliation make this first book in the Low Country Summer Trilogy enjoyable.

I am a fan of Baldacci and Hilderbrand. I have planned for awhile to pick up a Samantha Hayes, as recommended by Marce @ Tea Time. Have a good week, you certainly have some fun books there.
I have not read a book by Dee Henderson, though on my radar. Must try one sometime. I am holding off on the DG until I read a few review books, but not sure how long that good will, will last!
The Summer Girls sounds like my type of read and I'm trying to get through An Echo in the Bone so I can move on to Written In My Own Heart's Blood. Have a wonderful week and enjoy that special grandma time with Cole.
I didn't know The Summer Girls is part of a trilogy!
I love Mary Alice Monroe and hope to read the next book in the trilogy soon.
Congratulations on the new grandbaby! I like Dee Henderson's books too and am curious about the one by Baldacci. I'll have to add it to my stack. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
