Sunday Post - 05/31/20

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

No new books this week. Monday was a whirlwind. I launched my 2020 Summer Sticker Collection for my Etsy store, Lael Mattox. I had a grocery pick up run because I'd forgotten a ton of things from my Saturday pick up. And I feel like something else kind of major happened, but I'm having trouble remembering everything. Wednesday, Husband came home from work early. The kids did a video chat with their cousin for almost an hour. It was chaos, but I'm so thankful we have the technology to be able to do this. Wednesday night my parents came to dinner. Thursday my mom came to hang out with us for the day. Oh and we've been doing 3 days a week of Bible craft time and the kids are loving it. It takes some prep work on my part to find us a craft or two to do and prepare it to go along with a story, but they're loving it. We got the pool uncovered last weekend, so this week has been about trying to get the chemicals and salt level at the right place so that we can go swimming ASAP. I'm in a phase where I'm trying to work on myself and my family...being intentional and all of that. And I think that's good, but it can be quite overwhelming and exhausting. I'm personally working on my quick temper and patience level. This has been a life-long struggle of mine. I feel like there is just so much going on in our personal life right now, but I'm sure everyone feels similar with this weird year we're all having.

Goodreads description--Lady Elizabeth Davenport is desperate. Her hand in marriage has been offered to the highest bidder, a distressing proposition in and of itself but made all the more repulsive when she meets her father’s first choice for her hand: Lord Pinweather. When her parents refuse to hear her pleas, Liz is forced to take drastic measures—she will impersonate her maid and begin anew in America on her own terms.

Once on board the ship to America, another passenger, Lord Barton, almost immediately discovers her true status as a noble. After listening to Liz’s highly modified version of her life and her plans to begin again, Barton has compassion on her and teaches her how to abandon her noble mannerisms. Upon disembarking, however, Barton’s generous spirit quickly dampens when he discovers Liz has indeed found work—as his own head housekeeper. Suddenly, the tender feelings they hid from each other on the ship are inescapable, but their difference in station makes romance impossible. As misunderstandings abound and a shocking character from Liz’s past looms, she knows she can’t hide her true identity forever. But as her deception begins to unravel, will her charade cost her the man she loves?

His Lady in Hiding had a lot of similar themes and pieces as some other books that I have read and enjoyed over the last year. A Reluctant Bride and The Work of Art are two such books that come to mind. Escaping terrible situations or cruel potential fiances. Traveling to America in hopes of new opportunities and a new life. Add in forbidden romance and you've got the making of an interesting story.

Liz flees her home after her father basically sells her hand in marriage to the highest bidder. Initially, Liz is mostly put off physically by her intended, but she comes to learn that he can be quite cruel as well. She quickly makes the decision to assume a new identity, take a job as a housekeeper in America, and board a ship the following day. Traveling alone as a woman isn't entirely safe and Liz takes to sleeping in one of the rowboats stored on the deck of the ship to avoid the horrors of steerage as well as a fellow passenger who is attempting to get handsy. After a meeting with Lord Barton on the ship, the two begin to form a friendship. Lord Barton can tell that she is gentry and not the serving class almost immediately and he decides to try to help her with learning her new role as a housekeeper. In the process, the two become friends.

Lord Barton is the second son of a Marquess. As such he doesn't have the duty or responsibility his older brother has, but he hopes to make an impact for the family by creating a shipping business. He needs to make connections with the local Philadelphia community to make his business successful. And having a relationship with his housekeeper isn't the best way to go about doing that. Usually I connect to the male lead easier than the female lead, but ol' Barton needed to be popped in the head a few times.

His Lady in Hiding had several twists and turns in the plot. I know there was one part where I felt the characters were getting their "happy" too quickly. And I was right. Many more obstacles were in the way and it wasn't until the very end of the story that each piece was finally overcome.

His Lady in Hiding was a fun, light read with a lot to recommend about it. The twists and turns weren't completely without issues, but overall, I did like the characters and their story. I read it quickly which is always a good thing. His Lady in Hiding gets 3.5 Stars. Have you read His Lady in Hiding? What did you think? Let me know!

Goodreads description--From the international bestselling author of The Simple Wild and Ten Tiny Breaths comes a new second-chance, hate-to-love romance.

Scarlet Reed has returned to Polson Falls, convinced that twelve years away is long enough to shed her humiliating childhood identity as the town harlot's daughter. With a teaching job secured and an adorable fixer-upper to call home, things in her life are finally looking up.

That is, until she finds out that Shane Beckett lives next door.

Shane Beckett, the handsome and charismatic high school star quarterback who smashed her heart. The lying, cheating player who was supposed to be long gone, living the pro football dream and fooling women into thinking he's Prince Charming. Shane Beckett, who is as attractive as ever and flashing his dimples at her as if he has done no wrong.

Scarlet makes it abundantly clear that old wounds have not been forgotten. Neighbors they may be, but friends they most certainly are not. She won't allow herself to fall for the single father and firefighter again, no matter how many apologies he offers, how many times he rushes to her aid, or how hard he makes her heart pound.

But as she spends more time with him, she begins to fear that maybe she's wrong. Maybe Shane has changed.

And maybe this time she's the one playing herself—out of a chance at true happiness.

Goodreads description--In Alisha Rai’s second novel in her Modern Love series, a live-tweet event goes viral for a camera-shy ex-model, shoving her into the spotlight—and into the arms of the bodyguard she’d been pining for.

OMG! Wouldn’t it be adorable if he’s her soulmate???

I don’t see any wedding rings [eyes emoji]

Breaking: #CafeBae and #CuteCafeGirl went to the bathroom AT THE SAME TIME!!!

One minute, Katrina King’s enjoying an innocent conversation with a hot guy at a coffee shop; the next, a stranger has live-tweeted the entire episode with a romantic meet-cute spin and #CafeBae is the new hashtag-du-jour. The problem? Katrina craves a low-profile life, and going viral threatens the peaceful world she’s painstakingly built. Besides, #CafeBae isn’t the man she’s hungry for...

He’s got a [peach emoji] to die for.

With the internet on the hunt for the identity of #CuteCafeGirl, Jas Singh, bodyguard, friend, and possessor of the most beautiful eyebrows Katrina’s ever seen, comes to the rescue and whisks her away to his family’s home. Alone in a remote setting with the object of her affections? It’s a recipe for romance. But after a long dating dry spell, Katrina isn’t sure she can trust her instincts when it comes to love—even if Jas’ every look says he wants to be more than just her bodyguard…

The Lost Lieutenant - Review

The Lost Lieutenant (Serendipity & Secrets #1)

Goodreads description--He's doing what he can to save the Prince Regent's life . . . but can he save his new marriage as well? Evan Eldridge never meant to be a war hero--he just wanted to fight Napoleon for the future of his country. And he certainly didn't think that saving the life of a peer would mean being made the Earl of Whitelock. But when the life you save is dear to the Prince Regent, things can change in a hurry.

Now Evan has a new title, a manor house in shambles, and a stranger for a bride, all thrust upon him by a grateful ruler. What he doesn't have are all his memories. Traumatized as a result of his wounds and bravery on the battlefield, Evan knows there's something he can't quite remember. It's important, dangerous--and if he doesn't recall it in time, will jeopardize not only his marriage but someone's very life.

Readers who enjoy Julie Klassen, Carolyn Miller, and Kristi Ann Hunter will love diving into this brand-new Regency series filled with suspense, aristocratic struggles, and a firm foundation of faith.

Another situation where the description is accurate but gave me a different impression of what the book would be about.

Evan is wounded in battle. He's suffering from memory loss as well as PTSD (which wasn't known or understood at this time). He doesn't remember saving Percival's life. He doesn't remember the battle. He just has flashes from time to time with a sense of urgency that he doesn't understand. He doesn't even know if the flashes are real. Evan starts out in a hospital recovering from his injuries when he receives word that the Prince Regent wants to honor him and to present himself at court.

Diana is headed to London for her first Season. Her father and brother are going to attempt to sell her off to the highest bidder with plans to split Diana's inheritance from her grandmother with her husband. Diana's father and brother are the worst sorts of people, and her father specifically is using Diana's nephew (born out of wedlock to her older sister who died during childbirth) as leverage to get Diana to do what he wants.

Diana and Evan meet at court where Diana is presented and Evan is named the new Earl of Whitelock. The two are thrown together in a few chance situations. Diana is goddaughter to the Prince Regent and Evan is the Prince's newest favorite person. The Prince decides to play matchmaker and basically requires the two to marry. Where both are in many ways resistant to the plan (it foils their own plans for their lives), they both know that you can't say no to the Prince Regent.

Evan and Diana travel to their new (to them) estate which is essentially falling apart with the mission of getting it ready for a royal visit. They have to hire a staff, make the repairs to the estate, get the estate functioning (the prior Earl of Whitelock has been dead for 20 years), as well as navigate their new marriage. On top of that, Evan has to figure out why his memories (what little he has) feel so urgent, and they have to settle the issue of Diana's illegitimate nephew.

I loved this book. Each piece of it. The forced marriage. The restoration of the estate. The mystery behind Evan's memory. The side characters--particularly Marcus. (I cannot be more thrilled to get my hands on his story, and if it were available now I would purchase it and read it immediately.) And the conclusion. I found each part of this story enthralling. I wanted to keep reading every time I had to put it down. And I will be stalking The Gentleman Spy.

I loved both Evan and Diana. Each character had strengths to bring to the marriage and story. Each character had thorough backstories and came alive off the page. I enjoyed their journey. I found the estate restoration, Evan's side projects, and the mystery of the original battle that sparked everything into motion intriguing. The side characters were enriching. They added depth. Marcus is a favorite, but also Shand. Percival and Fitzroy, as well as Duke Seaton, were all characters I enjoyed hating. And the Prince Regent brought a little humor in to liven things up. I appreciated God being worked into the story in a way that felt authentic and not forced. And I am absolutely going to stalk book 2 in the series until I get my hands on it. The Lost Lieutenant gets 4.5 Stars. Have you read The Lost Lieutenant? What did you think? Let me know!

Heart and Seoul

By: Jen Frederick

Expected Publication: August 11th 2020 by Berkley Books

352 pages

Genre: Adult, Contemporary

( Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository )

*Note: The above links to Amazon and Book Depository are affiliate links. Affiliate links support giveaways for Somewhere Only We Know readers.

Goodreads description--From USA Today bestselling author Jen Frederick comes a heart-wrenching yet hopeful romance that shows that the price of belonging is often steeper than expected.

As a Korean adoptee, Hara Wilson doesn’t need anyone telling her she looks different from her white parents. She knows. Every time Hara looks in the mirror, she’s reminded that she doesn’t look like anyone else in her family—not her loving mother, Ellen; not her jerk of a father, Pat; and certainly not like Pat’s new wife and new “real” son.

At the age of twenty-five, she thought she had come to terms with it all, but when her father suddenly dies, an offhand comment at his funeral triggers an identity crisis that has her running off to Seoul in search of her roots.

What Hara finds there has all the makings of a classic K-drama: a tall, mysterious stranger who greets her at the airport, spontaneous adventures across the city, and a mess of familial ties, along with a red string of destiny that winds its way around her heart and soul. Hara goes to Korea looking for answers, but what she gets instead is love—a forbidden love that will either welcome Hara home…or destroy her chance of finding one.

Beach Read - Review

Beach Read

By: Emily Henry

Expected Publication: May 19th 2020 by Berkley

384 pages

Genre: Adult, Contemporary

Source: Publisher via Edelweiss (Thank you!!)

( Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository )

*Note: The above links to Amazon and Book Depository are affiliate links. Affiliate links support giveaways for Somewhere Only We Know readers.

Goodreads description--A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters.

Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.

They're polar opposites.

In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block.

Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

I just wasn't sure about this one when I requested it. The cover is that stinking animated trend that I really dislike. I don't always read adult books due to potential content, but I've learned that just because a book is labeled adult doesn't mean it has to include graphic content. I'm not familiar with this author (although I am interested in looking into her other books). But the description had a few things going for it that pulled me in. I loved that both main characters are authors, and I also liked their bet/challenge about stepping out of their normal genres to write something different.

January is disillusioned. Her father recently passed away, and on the day of his funeral she found out that he'd had an affair while her mother was fighting cancer. And her long-term boyfriend couldn't handle her journey through grief and betrayal. Struggling with writing anything romance-driven, she's in a financial bind as well. So January moves temporarily into her father's lake house to empty it and sell it...while also writing a book.

January quickly realizes that her next-door neighbor is Gus Everett who she went to college with. Back then, Gus repeatedly criticized her writing because of her perpetual happy endings. He also chose to only critique her during class which caused a lot of resentment. Yet there's always another side to the story.

I loved the insight we're given into the writing and even briefly into the publishing process. This isn't too detailed. It didn't take over the story, but I think Emily Henry included just the right amount of both the story January was writing and the process itself.

Gus was endearing. He's awkward. He sees the world in a darker way than January does. Yet he's drawn to her light. There was not much that I didn't like about Gus.

I don't always address this because I feel like I would be repeating myself in 90% of my reviews, but there were certainly many moral decisions in this book that I don't personally support. My thoughts on many of these things the majority of our country would consider outdated, but that doesn't change the fact that I hold to a different moral standard than the average American (or so it seems these days).

Favorite quotes:

-It wasn’t that I couldn’t get enough of him. Or that he was the best man I’d ever known. (I’d thought that was my dad, but now it was the dad from my favorite 2000s teen drama, Veronica Mars.) Or that he was my favorite person. (That was Shadi.) Or because he made me laugh so hard I wept. (He laughed easily, but rarely joked.) Or that when something bad happened, he was the first person I wanted to call. (He wasn’t.) It was that we met at the same age my parents had, that the snowball fight and impromptu road trip had felt like fate, that my mother adored him. He fit so perfectly into the love story I’d imagined for myself that I mistook him for the love of my life.

-Anger with all the broken parents, heartache that they too must’ve felt like kids—helpless, unsure how to make the right decisions, terrified of making the wrong ones.

-“You don’t believe in any kind of internal moral compass.” The way he said it made it seem as if he himself did believe in such a thing, which would’ve surprised me a few weeks ago, but now made perfect sense. “Maybe you start out with that,” she said, “But if you do, it gets shaped as you age. How are you supposed to believe right’s right and wrong’s wrong if everyone around you says the opposite? You’re supposed to think you’re smarter than all of them?”

-“You don’t know the difference between pity and sympathy,” I said. “I’m not pitying you. It makes me sad to think of you being treated like that. It makes me mad to think you didn’t have the things all kids deserve. And yeah, it makes me mad and sad that a lot of people go through the things you went through, but it’s even more upsetting because it’s you. And I know you and I like you and I want you to have a good life. That’s not pity. That’s caring about someone.”

-You make beautiful things, because you love the world, and maybe the world doesn’t always look how it does in your books, but … I think putting them out there, that changes the world a little bit. And the world can’t afford to lose that.”

These quotes remind me of a few things I want to mention. The second quote is a reminder that I now read from a parental figure's point of view just as much as the main character. I can't turn it off. The third reminds me that I can't base what I believe to be right or wrong upon myself or anyone else or even a large collection of others. God's Word will always be my moral compass. I have and will fall short. But I at least have a guide that does not waver. The fourth is a pet peeve of mine. Characters in books often disdain what they perceive as pity, but sympathy is usually what's being extended to them by people who care. And those people don't have to be in their close inner circle to care. For the last quote, I fancy seeing myself writing a book one day. And if I ever do, I hope that my characters or my world might not be realistic so much as hopeful or portrayals of what can be.

Beach Read was much better than I expected it to be. I really enjoyed the process of the relationship between Gus and January. I appreciated her journey through grief and beginning to heal. I also liked the information surrounding writing, the process, and the publishing side we get to see. I do have to say that I didn't love the information dump in the form of letters January's father wrote to her before he died. Beach Read gets 4 Stars. Have you read Beach Read? What did you think? Let me know!

A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

Has it really only been one week since last Sunday? My goodness this was a long week. Monday and Tuesday were mostly normal days for us. Wednesday I took the kids to my mom's and came home to clean out the kids' bedrooms. I needed to clean, purge, and organize. Husband came home from work early. We went for a walk and did some food pick up for dinner. Then we watched the last Star Wars movie (finally!). It was so nice to sleep in. I did get to do it on Mother's Day but other than that, I just never get to do it. I went back to work on cleaning house. I went through all of the kids' toys to pull out what doesn't get played with for donation, some stuff I could throw away (old art work, etc), and to pull some toys out for a toy rotation. I also went through some of my old clothes to finally get rid of. Long overdue. Then I went to pick the kids up. Friday was a stressful, and I felt like I was putting out sibling rivalry fires all day. But Saturday was pretty great. I did a grocery pick up. Then we went for a walk and played outside. Husband burned the perimeter of our property so we were all out watching fires to ensure they didn't get out of hand or move to the neighbor's. I also got to read quite a lot Saturday which is super nice and very rare.

Goodreads description--Elizabeth Black is the headmistress of a girls’ school and a well-respected author of “silver-fork” novels, stories written both for and about the upper-class ladies of Victorian society. But by night, she writes very different kinds of stories—the Penny Dreadfuls that are all the rage among the working-class men. Under the pseudonym Mr. King, Elizabeth has written about dashing heroes fighting supernatural threats and dangerous outlaws romancing helpless women. They contain all the adventure and mystery that her real life lacks.

Fletcher Walker began life as a street urchin, but is now the most successful author in the Penny Dreadful market, that is until Mr. King started taking all of his readers--and his profits. No one knows who King is, including Fletcher’s fellow members of the Dread Penny Society, a fraternity of authors dedicated to secretly fighting for the rights of the less-fortunate.

Determined to find the elusive Mr. King, Fletcher approaches Miss Black. As a fellow-author, she is well-known among the high-class writers; perhaps she could be persuaded to make some inquiries as to Mr. King’s whereabouts? Elizabeth agrees to help Fletcher, if only to insure her secret identity is never discovered.

For the first time, Elizabeth experiences the thrill of a cat-and-mouse adventure reminiscent of one of her own novels as she tries to throw Fletcher off her scent. But the more time they spend together, the more she loses her heart. Its upper-class against working-class, author against author where readers, reputations, and romance are all on the line.

Goodreads description--Kazi and Jase have survived, stronger and more in love than ever. Their new life now lies before them―the Ballengers will be outlaws no longer, Tor's Watch will be a kingdom, and the two of them will meet all challenges side by side, together at last.

But an ominous warning mars their journey back, and in their rush to return to Tor's Watch, just outside the fortress walls, they are violently attacked and torn apart―and each is thrust into their own new hell.

Unsure whether the other is alive or dead, Kazi and Jase must keep their wits among their greatest enemies and unlikeliest allies. And all the while, Death watches and waits.

Goodreads description--For a decade Darrow led a revolution against the corrupt color-coded Society. Now, outlawed by the very Republic he founded, he wages a rogue war on Mercury in hopes that he can still salvage the dream of Eo. But as he leaves death and destruction in his wake, is he still the hero who broke the chains? Or will another legend rise to take his place?

Lysander au Lune, the heir in exile, has returned to the Core. Determined to bring peace back to mankind at the edge of his sword, he must overcome or unite the treacherous Gold families of the Core and face down Darrow over the skies of war-torn Mercury.

But theirs are not the only fates hanging in the balance.

On Luna, Mustang, Sovereign of the Republic, campaigns to unite the Republic behind her husband. Beset by political and criminal enemies, can she outwit her opponents in time to save him?

Once a Red refugee, young Lyria now stands accused of treason, and her only hope is a desperate escape with unlikely new allies.

Abducted by a new threat to the Republic, Pax and Electra, the children of Darrow and Sevro, must trust in Ephraim, a thief, for their salvation—and Ephraim must look to them for his chance at redemption.

As alliances shift, break, and re-form—and power is seized, lost, and reclaimed—every player is at risk in a game of conquest that could turn the Rising into a new Dark Age.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Morning Star returns to the Red Rising universe with the thrilling sequel to Iron Gold.

Goodreads description--Growing up under his punk rocker dad’s spotlight, eighteen-year-old Luke Greenly knows fame and wants nothing to do with it. His real love isn’t in front of a crowd, it’s on the page. Hiding his gift and secretly hoarding songs in his bedroom at night, he prefers the anonymous comfort of the locally popular podcast he co-hosts with his outgoing and meddling, far-too-jealousy-inspiringly-happy-with-his-long-term-boyfriend twin brother, Cullen. But that’s not Luke’s only secret. He also has a major un-requited crush on music blogger, Vada Carsewell.

Vada’s got a five year plan: secure a job at the Loud Lizard to learn from local legend (and her mom’s boyfriend) Phil Josephs (check), take over Phil’s music blog (double check), get accepted into Berkeley’s prestigious music journalism program (check, check, check), manage Ann Arbor’s summer concert series and secure a Rolling Stone internship. Luke Greenly is most definitely NOT on the list. So what if his self-deprecating charm and out-of-this-world music knowledge makes her dizzy? Or his brother just released a bootleg recording of Luke singing about some mystery girl on their podcast and she really, really wishes it was her?

I really enjoyed Erin Hahn's debut, You'd Be Mine, and to be honest, I requested More Than Maybe before I even read the book description. A few things gave me pause once I did read it so I began to worry about whether I would enjoy this one after all.

Luke and Vada have a similar situation as Husband and I. Not in every detail but in falling in love through sharing music back and forth. Of course, Luke and Vada's story has much more to it than that but so does our story.

Luke and Vada both have had crushes on each other from afar. For several years. Vada has a music review blog that Luke stalks, and Luke has a podcast with his twin brother that Vada listens to and even sometimes falls asleep to. Both are shy of the other and thus haven't interacted much in person until Luke's music composition class and Vada's dance class combine to do a collaboration project.

The silent concert thing (I don't even know what to call it) was a really cool concept and created some awesome tension. I do wish maybe the characters had been further along in their relationship when they experienced the concert because they were so new to each other that I felt the potential was a little unexplored here.

I do have to say that the language was just ridiculous. I don't remember a wide variety of words used, but the f-word seemed to be on every page. Geez, Louise! If ever there was a reason to DNF this book, the sheer number of f-bombs would be it. A quick search of the word in the e-galley version I received for review showed 80 results. 80! In 336 pages! Is that seriously needed? I really hope this book gets another pass through editing to reduce the amount of language.

Incidentally, More Than Maybe actually addresses God in a positive way. (I almost had to say this questioningly.) Vada's mother and best friend both have strong relationships with God. Yet Vada views Him as a last resort option that she hasn't gotten to yet. She has the realization that because of her relationship with her own dad is so strained and he's undependable, she has a hard time viewing God as a loving Father. I think so many can relate to this. Vada does have a moment of some kind that is mentioned but not expounded upon. The reader really has no specific information about Vada's moment or her thoughts regarding it besides her mentioning an attempt to attempt to be open.

Favorite quotes:

-I can imagine what is moving her, and I want to write that. I want to be the one who moves her. There are words, but self-preservation takes over, and I only have the energy to create the melody. One day, the words will come. Hopefully, I’ll be ready for them.

-“Never. Work. For. Free,” he says, tapping his desk with two fingers to accentuate each syllable. “If you don’t value your time, no one else will.

-It’s like when you say you’re cold and someone else tries to tell you it’s hot. It doesn’t matter what they think; you feel cold.

-But life’s unpredictable. Part of the ride is learning to roll with whatever comes our way. So, that’s what you’re going to do. Roll with it. Change what needs to change and make the best of what you’re handed.

More Than Maybe was better than I briefly worried it might be given my issues with the description. I appreciate stories that mix music so thoroughly with the story. But I wasn't familiar with all of the songs and I wasn't about to stop reading to look them all up as I might once have. I really liked Vada and Luke. And I probably have much more to say, but this is the gist of it. The f-bombs were a bit much, and it certainly wasn't a complete win in all areas, but I didn't want to put it down which is a big factor for me when deciding a rating. While reading, I think I was leaning towards a 4, but now that I've had time to contemplate it, I think More Than Maybe gets 3.5 Stars from me. Have you read More Than Maybe? What did you think?

Goodreads description--Ambition will fuel him.
Competition will drive him.
But power has its price.

It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.

The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined — every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute . . . and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.

The Trouble with Hating You - Review

The Trouble with Hating You

Goodreads description--A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy debut about first impressions, second chances, and finding the love of your life in the most unexpected way. Liya Thakkar is a successful biochemical engineer, takeout enthusiast, and happily single woman. The moment she realizes her parents' latest dinner party is a setup with the man they want her to marry, she's out the back door in a flash. Imagine her surprise when the same guy shows up at her office a week later -- the new lawyer hired to save her struggling company. What's not surprising: he's not too thrilled to see her either after that humiliating fiasco.

Jay Shah looks good on paper...and off. Especially if you like that whole gorgeous, charming lawyer-in-a-good-suit thing. He's also arrogant and infuriating. As their witty office banter turns into late night chats, Liya starts to think he might be the one man who truly accepts her. But falling for each other means exposing their painful pasts. Will Liya keep running, or will she finally give love a real chance?

I just told Husband that Indian literature might be a new favorite for me. Due to Britain's influence on India, some of my favorite cultural aspects of historical England can also be found in Indian culture. But with a modern setting. Plus the potential for arranged marriages, which utterly fascinates me. The Trouble With Hating You is the second book I've read recently about Indian-American characters that I absolutely loved. (The other being The Marriage Game by Sara Desai--review coming soon.)

Liya is not traditional at all. She is dealing with the after-effects of a sexual assault from when she was 15 years old. The man who assaulted her was highly respected in their community and considered to be very religious. And when she told her parents, her father not only didn't believe her but went so far as to apologize to the man. Liya has used these two events as a foundation for her faith in men...which is essentially non-existent. She's used men and been used by men. She can't see herself falling in love because those who should have protected her abused her. And her father holds her mother under such a tight rope that her example of marriage is a bit skewed. So any attempts at setting her up with someone are met with hostility.

Liya thought Jay was arrogant when they first met. She thought he was going to be the same as the other men in her life. Looking to use her body for sexual gratification and her for a submissive, silent wife. But Jay wasn't like that at all. He initially struggled with the first couple of interactions with Liya. She didn't behave as he expected, but given time and opportunity he began to see her a little more clearly. And he saw the potential in her and felt a connection with her early on. He thus had to fight her attempts at pushing him away and prove he wasn't just trying to sleep with her. And I can always appreciate a man willing to fight for the woman he loves. Jay has his own history to deal with and overcome.

The side characters were all lively with histories and personalities that enriched the story. I loved Liya's group of friends: Reema, Preeti, and Sana. I would truly love this to be the first in a series where we get to see the stories for each of these women. Jay's family: Jahn, Shilpa, and Ma. All of them were so supportive and I loved each one.

I do have to say that the only quotes I really highlighted from the story revolve around whether Liya would pursue a job in a different city or not. Her friends were encouraging her not to let a man hold her back from pursuing a career move that could really benefit her. In Liya's case, she had more reasons to need to move than simply wanting a good job. However, it's become a pet peeve of mine to hear characters encouraged to leave behind people they love in favor of jobs, cities, or colleges that might advance them. What are those things compared to or without people who love you? I think it depends on the strength of the relationship, but we can't put the stigma on every situation that putting our relationships before our careers is a negative or irresponsible decision.

I truly began to feel like an addict while reading The Trouble with Hating You. I was sneaking "hits" of the book any chance I could. If I had to put it down when I wasn't ready or just put it down in general, I felt myself being irritable--like going too long between fixes. Ultimately, I devoured The Trouble with Hating You and I give it 4.5 Stars. Have you read The Trouble with Hating You? What did you think? Let me know!

Goodreads description--Brighton, England 1820

Amelia Moore wants only one thing—to secure the future happiness of her younger sister, Clara. With their stepfather’s looming death, the two sisters will soon be on their own—without family, a home, or a penny to their names. When an invitation arrives to join a house party at Lakeshire Park, Amelia grasps at the chance. If she can encourage a match between Clara and their host, Sir Ronald, then at least her sister will be taken care of.

Little does she know that another guest, the arrogant and overconfident Mr. Peter Wood, is after the same goal for his own sister. Amelia and Peter begin a rivalry that Amelia has no choice but to win. But competing against Peter—and eventually playing by his rules—makes Amelia vulnerable to losing the only thing she has left to claim: her heart.

The author of Daring Greatly and The Gifts of Imperfection tells us what it takes to get back up, and how owning our stories of disappointment, failure, and heartbreak gives us the power to write a daring new ending. Struggle, Brené Brown writes, can be our greatest call to courage, and rising strong our clearest path to deeper meaning, wisdom, and hope.

Goodreads description--“Tamani masterfully bounces and slams two hearts up and down a shrouded court of first love and revelations. A hard-to-put-down backboard-breaker.”—Rita Williams-Garcia, National Book Award Finalist and New York Times–bestselling author

From the moment Carli and Rex first locked eyes on a Texas high school basketball court, they both knew it was destiny. But can you truly love someone else if you don’t love yourself? Acclaimed author Liara Tamani’s luminous second novel explores love, family, heartbreak, betrayal, and the power of healing, in gorgeous prose that will appeal to readers of Nicola Yoon and Jacqueline Woodson.

A glance was all it took. That kind of connection, the immediate and raw understanding of another person, just doesn’t come along very often. And as rising stars on their Texas high schools’ respective basketball teams, destined for bright futures in college and beyond, it seems like a match made in heaven. But Carli and Rex have secrets. As do their families.

Liara Tamani, the author of the acclaimed Calling My Name, follows two Black teenagers as they discover how first love, heartbreak, betrayal, and family can shape you—for better or for worse. A novel full of pain, joy, healing, and hope for fans of Elizabeth Acevedo, Jacqueline Woodson, and Jenny Han.

“A beautifully poignant love letter: to a first love, to basketball, and to that enigmatic bunch we think we know best, only to discover we don’t know at all—family. Tamani’s latest is a bright shining star.”—David Arnold, New York Times–bestselling author of Mosquitoland
