Weekly Reading Wrap Up



Someone to Trust by Mary Balogh #5
Elizabeth Overfield is a young widow.  She is contemplating marrying again and may have found the right man.  A man she can trust is of most importance. While visiting her brother's at Christmas she meets Collin, a younger man.  They hit it off and remain friends.  Each time they meet their attraction grows.  Elizabeth thinks she is too old for Collin, but can't deny their chemistry.  Collin's mother has other plans for her son. Thankfully she is no match for Elizabeth.  This is a great addition to the series even though it got off to a slow start.  Look forward to Abigail's story next year.

Devoted to Pleasure by Shayla Black #1 (audio)
Shealyn is the star of  hot show Tempted By Pleasure, but she is nothing like the character she plays.  When she is blackmailed, she hires a bodyguard to help her with the payoff.  Cutter knows there is more to the situation that Sheayln realizes and convinces her of the need for further protection.  Their chemistry is explosive, but their obligations are getting in the way.  There are several suspects that keep them guessing, but the twist they didn't see coming could cost them their lives. Christian Fox narrated.

I've Got My Eyes On You by Mary Higgins Clark (audio)
Right before Aline returned home from London, she got a text from her sister telling her she had some important news.  By the time she got home her sister Kerry is dead. She had a party the night before and was found when her parents and sister returned home. It is discovered that she was murdered. The main suspect is her boyfriend Alan.  They had a fight at the party.  The neighbor is worried as her special needs son went over after the party. Aline helps the investigator using her role as the school counselor. January LaVoy narrated this quick, predictable but enjoyable story.



Last week was crazy with a root canal, broken hot tub and Thanksgiving.  Thankfully my tooth settled down and I was able to enjoy dinner on Thursday.  My daughter and I managed to do a little shopping on Black Friday as it was not too crazy.

Sorry about your tooth and hot tub. My weekly update

I'm glad you got that tooth taken care of before Thanksgiving. I haven't read Mary Higgins Clark in a long time but always enjoy her books even if they are predictable.

Martha Eskuchen said...

Glad to hear you got the tooth fixed so you could enjoy your Thanksgiving food. :-) You'll probably wish the hot tub was working as the cold weather sets in.
I have Someone to Trust to read in a week or so. I always enjoy Balogh.
I haven't read MHC in a long time.

Hope this is a good week for you. Happy Reading!

Kathryn T said...

Ah another in the Mary Balogh series - sounds promising. I want to listen to Shelter in Place fairly soon now. Ouch a root canal and in Thanksgiving week. Although no week is good for such a thing to happen.

Greg said...

Oh wow you did have quite a week! Glad you had a good Thanksgiving though. Stay safe- I see we already have a little snow and ice out there...

Cheryl said...

Sorry to hear about the root canal. I'm glad it didn't interfere with enjoying Thanksgiving dinner.

Mary Balogh is always a good read. Sounds like you have some good ones coming up too. Enjoy.

Yikes on the tooth and the hot tub. But glad your holiday was good. I didn't know January LaVoy read the Mary Higgins Clark book. I love her narrations.

Kay said...

Sorry about your tooth, but glad it settled down. Tiresome, right? Happy that you and yours had a nice Thanksgiving and a bit of shopping. Hoping you have a wonderful holiday season, Nise'!

Erin @ Quixotic Magpie said...

Someone to Trust looks good! I always enjoyed her work!

Kathy Martin said...

Glad your tooth didn't ruin Thanksgiving. I avoided the stores all weekend since I really hate crowds. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

Yvonne said...

I'm sorry about your tooth. I hope you are feeling better. I never do shopping on Black Friday. I hate crowds. Hope you have a great week!

Mystica said...

Ages since I've read Mary Higgins Clark.

I just listened to a MHC for the first time in forever and was reminded why. Glad this one worked for you.

Root Canals are no fun. I am glad despite all that was happening, that you managed to have a lovely holiday.
