"The Guest List" by Lucy Foley

The Guest List by Lucy Foley revolves around a wedding.  Jules and Will are going to be married.  However, when old friends get together, secrets begin to get revealed.  What should be happy ever after is not!  The story is told by various people.  It goes back to the past some but in my opinion, would have been better to be told chronologically.  There are some twists and turns and the ending was a bit of a surprise.  (Gerard's review, 4 stars)  

Teaser from page 3:  The guests freeze.  They stare at one another.  They are suddenly afraid again.

"HUSH" by James Patterson and Candace Fox

HUSH by James Patterson has lots of twists, the first being that two crimes are being solved by three suspended officers.  Harriet Blue aka Harry is even serving time in prison but the commissioner got her out early to help him solve a personal case.  The deal is that if she cannot find his daughter and grandchild who are missing, she'll be going right back to prison.   The other case is her proving her friend from prison is innocent in the murder of the prison doctor whom she liked as well. 

I got into this book right away and didn't have a clue in either case.  This book has colorful characters and quite a bit of action.  (Karen's review 1/1/2021, 4 stars)

Gerard's review:  

HUSH by James Patterson and Candice Fox deals with Harriet Blue who is in prison.  Joe Woods, who put her in prison now needs her help.  I thought this was pretty good.  Had good action and I enjoyed all the various characters.  I also liked the ending!  (4.5 stars)

This book is pretty good.  It drew me in and kept my interest throughout.  The story has good flow to it and the characters were brought out very well with a good ending.  (Gerard's review, 5 stars) 

Teaser from page 22:  Everything looks calm and friendly, but I can feel the evil hovering outside the safety of our iron railings, and I shudder.  I imagine a great big guard dog, patrolling the garden.  Just the idea of it makes me feel safer.

"Montana Lawman Rescuer" by Linda Ford

Montana Lawman Rescuer by Linda Ford is an inspirational historical romance that I enjoyed.  Emily is traveling with a 2-yr.-old boy when her stagecoach gets robbed and her belongings stolen.  She was thrown from the stagecoach and hit her head, causing her to forget who she is, where she is heading and why, and where she came from.  Jesse, the lawman, found her and invited her and the little boy to stay in his home with his grandmother until she decides where she wants to go.  

This is a good romance, but also inspirational about hot to let go of your past and not let it ruin your present and future.   I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a clean romance or feels shameful about his/her past.  (Karen's review, 5 stars)
