2 for 1: Playing Dirty and Only Mine

Hello fellow readers! I finished Susan Andersen's "Playing Dirty". I have to be honest I had a hard time reading this book. To me the book didn't flow like her others. However, the main character's Ava and Cade had a good spark and I liked reading about their story. Their story starts when Cade does something to publicly humiliate Ava in high school. Since then Ava has controlled her issue yet some people in her life have yet to see that. Thankfully she has two great friends who support and believe in her. When Cade comes back into her life she is a well known personal concierge and Cade has hired her while in town. The chemistry between them along with their inner struggles to overcome the past made it enjoyable and worth the time!

Since reading "Playing Dirty" I have already read and finished Susan Mallery's new book, "Only Mine". This is a continuation to her previous Fool's Gold Series. You don't have to read the first 3 books because this new series is about the Hendrix Triplets. Although the previous books are just as enjoyable! "Only Mine" was well written and put together. If you are just starting with this book it gave information on the previous characters she has written in her Fool's Gold series, which was a refresher to me. The heroine, Dakota is dealing with a personal situation that she accepts and makes a plan to get what she wants. Then comes the hero, Finn who comes to town due to his younger brothers. Finn struggles with the realization that his brothers are adults and making their own decisions. When Dakota and Finn get together they are faced to make choices to get what they want. The road is bumpy but well worth the read!

Now I have started reading my new book club book for the month of September. The book that was chosen is Kristin Hannah's, "Firefly Lane". It's about 2 ten year old girls who meet and become friends. Kate is the shy/wallflower girl while Tully is the new popular girl. I am interested to see how their friendship blooms and what struggles they might have to overcome.

Stay tuned...
