Weekly Round-Up

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've all had a great week, drop us a comment and let us know what made your week!

After a bit of a block on my end, I've got back into my reading groove and read some more fantastic books that I'm excited to share with you. I will say that I'm still going back into my old favourites and re-reading, but, they actually seem to be quite popular with you all. While I do thoroughly enjoy finding new books to read, sometimes you just need the familiarity of an old favourite.

So what have I been reading this week? Well, after a few weeks of lead-up, you've finally seen the book that I've been cheering for, that finally mentions my hometown! I hope you all enjoyed it - let me know if you've read it yet! I've also gone back to an old favourite that had to have a re-read, especially with some of her newer novels reminding me of it. If you haven't read them yet, click on the pictures to be taken to the reviews.

                           

We also had a new cover and blurb release this week for Tara Sivec's newest novel and newest series, Kiss My Putt, in her new and upcoming Summersweet Island series. Which also perfectly coincided with her being in our Author Spotlight this week, check it out (and my favourite book of hers) by clicking the picture below.

                                                    

What have you been reading this week? Happy weekend!

Appealed (Legal Brief Series) by Emma Chase

When Brent Mason looks at Kennedy Randolph, he doesn’t see the awkward, sweet girl who grew up next door. He sees a self-assured, stunning woman…who wants to crush the most intimate—and prized—parts of his anatomy beneath the heels of her Louboutins.

When Kennedy looks at Brent, all she sees is the selfish, Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue–worthy teenager who humiliated her in high school in order to join the popular crowd. A crowd that made those years a living hell for her.

But she’s not a lovesick social outcast anymore—she’s a Washington, DC, prosecutor with a long winning streak. Brent is the opposing attorney in her next case, and Kennedy thinks it’s time to put him through a little hell of his own.

But things aren’t exactly working out the way she planned. Brent has his sights set on Kennedy, and every fiery exchange only makes him want her more—and makes her wonder if he’s as passionate in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom. In the end, they may just find themselves in love…or in contempt of court.

While on a long-haul flight from Canada to Australia, scribd recommended this book to me, and having an excessively large amount of time on my hand, I thought why not? And then, I was hooked and quickly worked my way through the rest of Ms. Chase's books.

Written in the first person and switching back and forth between Kennedy and Brent, this novel is satisfying in all senses of the word. A great cast of characters, a satisfying build-up, believable characters and action, romance, comedy, heartbreak and a sweet ending, this book has truly become a firm favourite. Not only is this a strong read the first time, it also stands up to the test of re-reading and keeps the reader hooked, albeit knowing the ending.

Not being a fan of modern romance, I can say from the bottom of my heart that Ms. Chase has become a firm favourite in my mind, and I'm truly excited to see her further novels. A fantastic read!

Rating: 4.5/5
