THE FRIENDS WE KEEP by Susan Mallery

+Susan Mallery has done it to me again. She wrote a book of love, heartbreak, family and friends that brought tears to my eyes, again.  I absolutely loved this book and can't wait for more in this series.

 Gabby Schaefer is excited to finally get back into the workforce.  After taking off five years to take care of her kids, they are finally old enough to go to pre-school and Gabby can now feel like a grown up again.

 But plans have a way of going astray, especially when Gabby and her husband have different expectations for a family situation that may or may not ruin their lives.

 Getting pregnant is not a problem for Hayley Batchelor, staying pregnant is the difficult part. With the expensive fertility treatments that Hayley and her husband take, you'll think that they'll have a better chance of staying pregnant.

 But with miscarriage after miscarriage, Hayley looks like a former shell of her old self.  Her husband is worried about her, but Hayley wants to experience what every woman was born to do - at any cost.

 Nicole Lord is still coming to terms with the divorce that should have left her devastated, but didn't. When her ex-husband left, Nicole realised that, other than their son, he did not really have a place in her life. The only thing he left with was a bag with his few things e had in the house.

 Now Nicole realised that her marriage might not have been a marriage at all and must come to terms with the part she played in the termination of her marriage.  Things become complicated when a sexy new guy who's great with kids tempts her into wanted to give romance a second chance - but can she trust herself to recognise love?

 Find out all of these three women's losses and triumphs in the second instalment of  The Mischief Bay Series, The Friends we keep.

 I cried again with this book. +Susan Mallery has done it to me again and I can't even be angry at her for it.  This book was beautiful and spoke the truth of hardships that some women go through in their day to day lives. 

 Susan Mallery likes to make things real, even if our hearts can't take it.  She makes us fall in love with her characters and then use our feelings against us and makes us feel and if we ourselves are experiencing the pain and the joy that her characters feel.

 I don't want to give the book away, but I encourage you to read all the books in the Mischief Bay Series.  Granted, there is only two, but I anticipate much more to come.  The books are just that good.

HAPPY READING!

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting.  Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out.  Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
