"One Good Dog" by Susan Wilson

One Good Dog by Susan Wilson tells the story of Adam Marsh, who is climbing the corporate ladder until one day he loses his cool and everything else.  He has to help out at a soup kitchen and then one day he picks up a Pit bull for somebody, but it’s not the right one and that’s when the story gets very good.  I just loved this book a lot.  If you liked “Racing In The Rain,” you will love this book.  The ending is so good!

A Great DVD Series: Damages--"Trust No One"

We watched season 3 of "Damages" on Direct TV and loved it so Gerard ordered seasons 1 and 2 from the library to get us caught up.  These were very good too.  The story line is riveting!  We never knew what was going to happen next!  It is about betrayal, relationships, justice, crime with a lot of violence and action. 

The cast did a great job too.  Glenn Close plays Patty Hughes, a cunning and clever attorney, who is the main character.  Gerard thinks it is the best show on TV.  We both highly recommend you watch this series.  Season 4 should be starting soon but you may want to get caught up by viewing the first 3 seasons on DVD like we did.  You won't be disappointed if you like suspense, unexpected developments and legal thrillers.

"King of Lies" by John Hart

King of Lies by John Hart is an amazing murder mystery/romance.  It has an intricately woven plot with an ending I did not see coming.  This one started out slow for me but about halfway through, I found it hard to put down.  At first, I didn't like the main character, Work, who was a lawyer accused of murdering his father, but grew to like him as the book went on.  Work tells the story so the reader knows he is innocent.  He is married to a woman but is in love with another and drinks a lot.  I started liking him when he decided to get a dog.   He thought his sister killed their father and was willing to destroy evidence and take the fall in order to protect her.  There is really a lot of family issues that are addressed in this novel that make it a very interesting read.

"The Snowball Effect" by Holly Nicole Hoxter

The Snowball Effect by Holly Nicole Hoxter is her first book.  It is a story about Lainy who has to deal with the death of her mom upon graduating from high school. a 5-yr. old orphaned brother, and two boys after her affections. 

I got into this book right from the start.  The characters were believable and enjoyable.  It had funny parts throughout. 

(Gerard's review--5+ stars)
