PRAISE FOR ONE SECOND AWAY:

“A first-rate thriller." —Shari Lapena, #1 bestselling author of She Didn't See It Coming

"With countless page-turning twists that take you from Toronto to Paris to São Paulo, you don't so much read One Second Away as you do live it. Rick Mofina's latest thriller is a roaring rollercoaster ride that will keep your heart pounding until the very end." —Ashley Tate, #1 bestselling author of Twenty-Seven Minutes

 ************

ABOUT ONE SECOND AWAY:

One sunny day in California, Jessie is hugging her nine-yearold son, Dylan, goodbye at the airport. He's travelling by himself, all the way across the country, to visit his father, Jessie's soon-to-be ex-husband, and his grandparents. Her heart breaks, but she puts on a brave face and gives her son one last wave as a flight attendant leads him away.

Several hours later, Jessie gets a frantic call from Dylan's grandmother in New York. Dylan is missing.

In a second, Jessie's world turns upside down. The AirTag she'd stuck in his backpack says he's still at LAX. The airline insists that he was picked up at JFK by an elderly couple claiming to be his grandparents--but Jessie's in-laws insist they haven't seen him. Dylan has disappeared into thin air.

At the same moment, miles away, in Toronto, a train operator loses control of a subway train, and the fiery crash injures dozens of passengers.

Jessie doesn’t know it yet, but this crash is inextricably linked to Dylan's disappearance. She has to find out how—and where her son is.

Propulsive and page-turning, the latest from bestselling author Rick Mofina is a race-against-the-clock global thriller that will leave you breathless.

Are you ready for some spring reading?

Hope you can stop by this.

 

The Burning Side by Sarah Damoff

Along with the burning house, Leo and April's marriage went to ashes.

The day the fire started was the day Leo told April he wanted a divorce.

As they run out of their house and save everyone, April's mother texts that they can stay with them.

When they arrive, April's mother tells her that her father has dementia. Can her life get any worse?

We follow April and Leo before and after their marriage and the fire and the lives of her parents and Leo's parents.

There is a lot going on in both families.

It  was a bit long and did get a bit confusing with so many characters, but readers who enjoy family history and drama will enjoy this book.   3/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.

*************

ABOUT SUMMER HUSBAND:

Is thirty-nine too old to get your first sleepaway camp kiss?

Lori Kramer, a stay-at-home mom, would go to any length to give her two daughters the summer experience of their lives—even getting a job at their camp and tagging along with them.

At Camp Woodlands, Lori finds herself overseeing the chaos of four bunks filled with rambunctious kids and their counselors, not to mention having to outwit her boss and outrun a bear—and that’s just during the first half of the summer! But those escapades are child’s play compared to her growing friendship and attraction to Teddy, the camp’s British soccer coach. Their clandestine meetings late at night behind the laundry shack, breaking the no-smoking rule, soon turn hot and steamy like a lazy August afternoon.

Camp may be for kids, but Lori’s the one having the most fun. She never imagined that stepping outside of her conventional, underappreciated, New York City existence would turn her world upside down and change her life forever.

A Sprinkle of Sweet Serendipity by Rachel Linden

Oh what a sweet, sweet read. 

Emmie comes home from her life in Paris to care for her parents and back to her family fudge shop in the small town of Poulsbo.

She also came back and ran into her high school boyfriend Jakob who she hurt the day of graduation.

The women in her family have visions that allow them to see what their future will look like.

She wants Jakob, but the famous Henry Summers who is a famous television star is the one who was in her vision as the man she should marry.

She also wants to open her own chocolate shop instead of staying in the family's fudge business.

How will everything turn out in this adorable, "sweet," read.

Rachel Linden has done it again with a beautiful storyline, wonderful characters you will miss, and delicious fudge and chocolate treats.  5/5

The Hope Keeper by Heather Webb

Will the Hope Diamond and Evalyn McLean save Elisabeth Beaumont’s jewelry business or will it curse her like history has said?

Elisabeth’s jewelry business was in debt after her brother died, and her father blames his death on the McLeans and the Hope Diamond.

When Elisabeth becomes obsessed with Evalyn, she gets deeper into her dark world, but she can’t get away from her.

She needs her and her wealthy friends to bail her business out of debt, and she wants to know more about how her brother died because Elisabeth knows that Evalyn and her family and the group of women who frequent Evalyn’s home had something to do with her brother’s death.

What does Elisabeth get herself into?

Does the Hope Diamond itself keep her in the clutches of Evalyn McLean?

THE HOPE KEEPER seemed to be a study in choices and people and will be of interest to those who want to know more about the Hope Diamond. 

We also get to hear from the Hope Diamond. 

Find out what that means when you read this mysterious tale with an extremely likable main character.

I do have to say I had some difficulty following the storyline at times.  4/5

GORGEOUS COVER!!
