When Joe Lynch stumbles across his wife driving into a hotel car park while she's supposed to be at work, he's intrigued enough to follow her in.

She Was The Quiet One by Michelle Campbell~ Thank you @stmartinspress for this beautiful finished copy! @MicheleCampbellBooks. Hits the shelves July 31,2018 and it is a page-turner!  My four star review below⬇️ . . . . Bel and Rose are orphaned twins and rivals, one is wild, one is quiet, but is one a murderer? The twins wealthy Grandmother sends them off to The Odell elite boarding school for their high dollar education. Bel seeks to "fit in" and be accepted by the cool group on day one, while Rose is studious and interested in her education. (OK, they are pretty much opposites). Family is family though, and these two sisters do care about each other beneath all the cattiness. It doesn't take Bel long to start hanging with the wrong crowd known as the "it" group (oh the drama and the many bad and brainless decisions these teenagers make). Secrets begin to surface, and when someone is murdered, fingers are all pointing in one direction. I had a few different theories which kept me engaged in the mystery and I changed my mind more than once. I enjoyed the suspenseful fast pace of this one. It had a bit of a YA feel which I enjoyed! The ending a bit predictable 🙌 . . . #shewasthequietone #bookblogger #dressedtoread #bestbooks #thriller #bookstagram #summerreads #university #twins #sisters #quiet #orphans #coverlove #shhh
#LillideJong by @janet.benton Looking forward to reading this soon. My review will post on my blog @DressedToRead.com on 7/19/2018.  It sounds like a powerful page-turner.It was a Goodreads Choice Award nominee for Historical Fiction in 2017 /Description below . . . A young woman finds the most powerful love of her life when she gives birth at an institution for unwed mothers in 1883 Philadelphia. She is told she must give up her daughter to avoid a life of poverty and shame. But she chooses to keep her. Pregnant, abandoned by her lover, and banished from her Quaker home and teaching position, Lilli de Jong enters a charity for wronged women to deliver her child. She is stunned at how much her infant needs her and at how quickly their bond overpowers her heart. Mothers in her position have no sensible alternative to giving up their children, but Lilli can't bear such an outcome. Determined to chart a path toward an independent life, Lilli braves moral condemnation and financial ruin in a quest to keep herself and her baby alive. Confiding their story to her diary as it unfolds, Lilli takes readers from an impoverished charity to a wealthy family's home to the perilous streets of a burgeoning American city. Lilli de Jong is at once a historical saga, an intimate romance, and a lasting testament to the work of mothers. "So little is permissible for a woman," writes Lilli, yet on her back every human climbs to adulthood." . . . @penguinrandomhouse #bookblogger #bookmail #historicalfiction #lillidejong #bestbooks #1883 #survival #blogtour #motherhood #compassion #reading #anchorbooks
#TheRomanovEmpress finished reading this Russian Historical Fiction novel about the Romanov Family. My review will be posted to my Blog @DressedToRead.com on July24th.  I love anything with Russian history. Book description below: . . . . For readers of Philippa Gregory and Alison Weir comes a dramatic novel of the beloved Empress Maria, the Danish girl who became the mother of the last Russian tsar. Even from behind the throne, a woman can rule. Narrated by the mother of Russia’s last tsar, this vivid, historically authentic novel brings to life the courageous story of Maria Feodorovna, one of Imperial Russia’s most compelling women who witnessed the splendor and tragic downfall of the Romanovs as she fought to save her dynasty in the final years of its long reign. @randomhouse . . . #bookblogger #blogtour #russia #historicalfiction #ballentinebooks #russiantsar #ImperialRussia #reading #Julybooks #palaces #bookmail #bookreviewer
