"Together for the Twins" by Laurel Blount
Together for the Twins by Laurel Blount is a Christian fiction romance about a gifted nanny, Elise, who breaks her rule about not working for a single man because Ryder Montgomery is charming, a great negotiator and at the end of his rope trying to parent his twin 4-yr.-old nephew terrors who he is guardian of. I really enjoyed this book very much because it was humorous, uplifting, heartwarming and believable. Yes, of course it was predictable; however, I enjoyed the journey immensely and recommend it to anyone who wants a light, happy read. I came across three tips for parenting that could be helpful to parents of young children as well. (Karen's review, 5 stars)

"When I Was You" by Amber Garza
In When I Was You by Amber Garza Kelly's world is falling apart until she comes across another woman who has the same name. She must meet this person! This book was wild in a good way! It has a good twist about the middle that changed the whole book! The storyline was good and I liked Kelly. (Gerard's review, 4.5 stars)

"The Inmate" by Freida McFadden, A Wild Read!
The Inmate by Freida McFadden is a quick read because the chapters are short and the whole book is like a puzzle with each chapter being a new piece. I did not figure this one out at all! I was way off track on this. Brooke is a single mom, never married, but in a love triangle. What was supposed to be a fun sleepover turned into a multi-murder. Luckily, she got away before getting killed herself; however, the whole incident haunts her ten years later. This is a good mystery and a thriller as well. I think this one would be a good book club read since it even has discussion questions in the back. I was flabbergasted
by the surprise ending but loved the epilog. All I can say is WOW after reading this book! I highly recommend it if you enjoy modern-day thrillers. (Karen's review, 5 stars)
Gerard's review:
In The Inmate by Freida McFadden teen boys and three teen girls decide to party all night at Shane's farmhouse since his mom will be away. It will be a night they will always remember! This author is always on her game, and this is no exception. It has a great storyline, interesting characters, and I never knew what was going to happen. She definitely kept me guessing! Freida McFadden is a master storyteller. I LOVED THIS character driven murder mystery. (5++ Stars)

"The Mirror" by Nora Roberts (Book 2 in The Lost Bride Trilogy)
The Mirror by Nora Roberts is the second book in The Lost Bride Trilogy. I loved Inheritance which was the first. In this book, Sonya is making the mansion her home and trying to get rid of the ghost! I enjoyed Sonya and "Dobbs" the ghost. This has a good storyline but I liked the first book better even though this one was good too. (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

I've read several of her books and every one of them was fantastic! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"Raised by a Serial Killer--Discovering the Truth About My Father" by April Balascio
WOW! Raised by a Serial Killer--Discovering the Truth About My Father by April Balascio is a great book to lead off the year. The author held nothing back and I felt so bad for her that she had to go through this. What a story this is! She has three dogs. Life is good for her finally! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
