Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3) By K.L. Montgomery. I loved these books, each one a little more. They are all based on strong, independent women who struggle with self image and good looking, strong men. They are set in the quaint beach town of Rehoboth where tons of people head for vacations in Delaware. My favorite was Plot Twist the 3rd book in the series. Its about a guy named Meric Chandler a newly divorced accountant and Lindy Larson a plus size teacher who can sing beautifully. Jack & Claire from the first book Fat Girl, write a play for a summer showcase and Lindy & Meric try out for parts. They both get the parts and end up really liking each other but Lindy can’t imagine anyone as good looking as Meric having any interest in her. The story is funny and fast paced. Lindy and Meric end up becoming very good friends and they are both wanting more but are too afraid to act on it. These books are full of positive self image messages for ladies and I loved that about them. Read 1 or 2 or read all 3 you won’t regret it!

But when her father ends up murdered he has to wonder if its connected to The Looking Glass Killer. Petrosky is determined to keep Hannah safe and find his daughters killer at the same time. At this point in the series you feel like you can actually feel Petrosky’s pain because he feels like an old friend. This book will cause you to have nightmares but you will love it! They are very twisted and you think you know what’s going to happen next but its never quite what you thought.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe & Wit by TL Clark. This is the story of Molly, a mid 30s, overweight, florist who has the lowest self esteem of anyone! She has quit her office job and started her own Florist shop out of her home. Her latest boyfriend has broken up with her and she feels like she’s never going to find anyone. She has had some really mean things happen to her by men & her Mom says mean things to her all the time. She has a best friend Wendy who is her voice of reason. Wendy talks Molly into joining a weight loss group together. This book is full of British humor which I love. I did get bored with Molly being so hard on herself throughout the first of the book but it was understandable with the way her mom talked to her. This book will make you cry, laugh and cringe. I really enjoyed it.

Moments That Define Us (A Gray Ghost Prequel) by Amy McKinley. I’ve read all the Gray Ghost books and I love them. This one was no different. I loved reading about how they came together in the beginning. This is the story of Jack & Jenni, Jack is living in an abandoned building with his “crew”. Jack is trying to protect his neighborhood from Jenni’s brother Rex, the local drug dealer, and keep his friends from falling into Rex’s evil ways. Rex already hates Jack because he is dating his sister. When weapons are brought into the fight it could be the end of them all. These kids have all had a rough upbringing and it was really cool to see where they came from. I love this series and hope there are more.
