STACKING THE SHELVES

Here's some of the books that found their way to me (yeah, I know! *lol*) this week (covers link to GoodReads):

IT'S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?

Synopsis

When a baby goes mising, a Texas marshal and a woman from his past discover there's a whole lot more behind this kidnapping... 

Holden Ryland certainly didn't become a marshal just to end up busting his ex, Nicky Hart, for taking files from Conceptions Fertility Clinic. But only Nicky knows just what was really stolen: a newborn being held for ransom. A newborn who is kin to both her and Holden. The missing boy is only the start of a mystery that snakes through Texas, winding its way through their families. Bad blood may linger between them, but Holden can protect his nephew back at the Silver Creek Ranch. If they can lay their past to rest to rescue this child, is it possible for them to have a future together?

*-*-*-*-*

Wow.  Stealing someone's frozen embryo (where the mom is now deceased), birthing a baby by surrogate, and then kidnapping it for ransom from the grandfather...now that's cold!  (Pun not intended, but, you know...)  That got me 'riled up' from the get go.  I just started reading this book a little while ago, so I'm still not into it very far, but far enough that the spit's just hitting the fan at the place where the baddies were holed up with the baby.

And there's just something that melts your heart about a law man who's good with babies, right? ;)

Y'all are welcome back on Wednesday, March 8th, for my full review!

A LITTLE INSPIRATION FOR YOUR MONDAY!

(graphic is linked to the Pinterest board where I found it)

~~~oOo~~~

So, what are you doing to make this day YOURS?

I'll start:

I'm going to catch up on reviews for the books I've read so far this year.  Then I'm going to reward myself by getting back to Holden and Nicky and the baby (see the book "Holden" above)!

And I'd like to extend a special invitation for all y'all to connect to me on GoodReads!  (I follow back.)  Hope to see you there and have a great week!

IT'S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?

Crete: A place of magic, of mystery, where violence and sacrifice meet courage and hope.

Aridela: Wrapped in legend, beloved of the people. An extraordinary woman who dances with bulls.

The north wind brings a swift ship and two brothers who plot Crete's overthrow. Desire for this woman will propel their long rivalry into hatred so murderous it hurtles all three into an unimaginable future, and sparks the immortal rage of the Erinyes.

A woman of keen instinct and unshakeable loyalty. A proud warrior prince and his wounded half-brother. Glory, passion, treachery and conspiracy on the grandest scale.

STACKING THE SHELVES

Synopsis

An espionage thriller for people who like explosions and sarcasm.

CIA case officer Bai Hsu is stationed in San Diego, where his job is to safeguard the valuable emotional collateral of some of the world’s most powerful people (read: their kids). Just when he thinks he’s landed the easiest assignment of all time, an operative starts targeting the school and it’s up to Bai to figure out who the operative is after, and why. This fast-paced story will take you from the picturesque beaches of San Diego to a deadly blizzard in Pyongyang and make Bai question everything he thought he knew about working in the field, and about himself.

And in the e-book department, here is a selection of this week's titles:

Tuesday, January 10, 2017 - Chez Stinky by Susan C. Daffron

IT'S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?

I'm still working on Altdorf, due to having a couple of days with not a lot of reading, while I caught up some things on the blog for the Winter Mini-Bloggiesta.  I'll probably go for Bai Tide (above) after that, as it is for a book tour in early February.

STACKING THE SHELVES

Last Monday (September 5th), I reviewed Heather Haven's new Alvarez Family Mystery, The CEO Came DOA.  Later that day, I was doing the reader's happy dance as I was able to obtain the first four books in the series:

  

  

This last one came through the OnlineBookClub.Org.  I have to admit that it gets extra points with me just for being set in my home state of Kentucky:

IT'S MONDAY; WHAT ARE YOU READING?

(I'll be posting a review for this book tomorrow, Tuesday 13 September, 2016, here on the blog.)  My first experience with Alyssa Maxwell's work was with Murder Most Malicious, the first book in the "A Lady and Lady's Maid Mystery" series.  I'm enjoying this new book every bit as much and have put the entire "A Gilded Newport Mystery" series on my TBR.

And for my friends at the "Inspire Me Mondays" link-ups, I hope this brings a little smile to your face:

Have a great week, y'all!
