MY INVISIBLE HUSBAND
|
Author:Sheila M. Goss
Nicolette Montana has never appreciated everyone being in her business and questioning her marital status. In fact, she's hated it so much that she decided to deceive everyone and make an "invisible" husband for herself so that everyone would just leave her alone. How could she even fathom that her made-up fantasy would possibly evolve into something real?
After reeling from his last relationship, Byron Matthews never expected to fall in love or lust again; protecting his heart was his number one priority. Unexpectedly meeting Nicolette on an airplane gave him more than he bargained for - in more ways than one.
Being thrown together into a whirlwind romance was never in the cards for either one of these two lovebirds, but life isn't what we expect, is it? Can they manage to help each other overcome their insecurities and boundaries of the heart? They both find out that deceit is never the answer, but perseverance usually pays off in the end.
The story had a nice flow to it, despite a few grammatical errors. Although laced with humor and a clear depiction of the family everyone can relate to, MY INVISIBLE HUSBAND was a little bit unrealistic. A highlight - this story sticks to the moral of honesty being the best policy, which is a lesson that most people need to learn. If you're in the market for some drama, pick this one up; it's guaranteed to keep you reading

THE BLACKBIRD PAPER
|
Author:Ian Smith
A rainy night . . . A stranded motorist . . . A Good Samaritan passerby 'a Nobel Prize' winning professor . . . The setup for a shocking murder designed to cover up an even more sinister crime . . .
The Blackbird Papers marks the debut of Ian Smith, a major new talent in crime fiction, and of Sterling Bledsoe, his smart and occasionally combative sleuth.
World-renowned Dartmouth professor Wilson Bledsoe is returning from a party celebrating his latest honor when he encounters a broken-down pickup on the secluded country road to his home. The next day, the discovery of his body with a vicious racist epithet carved into his chest leads to the quick arrest of two loathsome white supremacists. The local authorities seem ready to accept the case at face value as a racial hate crime. But the murdered professor's brother, FBI agent Sterling Bledsoe, has inserted himself into the investigation and isn't ready to buy into this pat solution. A look around his brother's lab and brief interviews with his students and colleagues pique Sterling's curiosity about Wilson's pet project: a nearly completed paper on the mysterious deaths of hundreds of local blackbirds.

DIVA

Review: This book was awesome. I could NOT put it down! This book tells the story of a hip hop diva who is killed. Then they find out it was a murder! This story gives an inside look into the world of a hip hop celebrity. I can't wait to see the movie! Kane and Abel's last book , Eyes of a Killer, was a classic. But this one needs to go down in the history books as one of the best novels ever. You have to read this book!
