I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK!!! — “Fisher, I guess this is it, huh? After fourteen years together, five deployments and countless letters I’ve written you… You always said you’d find your way back to me. Out of all the lies you’ve told me, this one hurts the most…. Enclosed you will find the signed divorce papers, as requested. I hope you find what you’re looking for. I’m sorry it wasn’t me.” — To get the ending they want, they will have to go back to the beginning. Through the good and the bad, they’ll be reminded of why they always made their way back to each other…
— WOW. WOW. WOW!! I finished this INCREDIBLE book with my heart overflowing with emotions. This story captivated me from the first page and I was literally unable to put it down until I finished!!! I was highlighting quotes non-stop!! This was exactly the kind of book that I most LOVE to read! A heart-wrenching, achingly BEAUTIFUL story of true love spanning 15 years. It’s a second chance military romance and one of the BEST books I’ve EVER read. A TOP RECOMMENDATION!!!! Everyone should read this!! — 5+ STARS!! — Just click here to purchase!

*** WHAT I’M CURRENTLY READING ***
Big Little Lies by Lianne Moriarty
“A murder. A tragic accident…. Someone is dead. But who did what?”
WOAHHHH!!!! I this last night and LOVED it!! This was a genre change for me because I was just craving something “different” so I gave this a try and was BEYOND impressed with it!! Holy wow. The writing was FANTASTIC — starkly honest, detailed, introspective, observant, multi-sided… the story kept me guessing right up til the end. There were TWISTS that totally shocked me and I just had these CHILLS run through me at the reveals. This author really GETS people and interactions in a way I’ve seldom seen before. Gah. It was POWERFUL. I loved the writing, I loved story, I loved the ending… it was just an incredible reading experience. I totally get now why they’re making it into a movie (it’s with Reese Witherspoon & Nicole Kidman). I HIGHLY recommend it! 5 STARS!!

Dark romance fans!! This is the sequel to Sociopath (Read my Review), a book I read last year that totally messed with my mind. It was well written and FASCINATING.

*** 2 RECENT FAVORITES ***
Pocketful of Sand by M. Leighton (Read my Review)
WOW!! This was just gorgeous! The hero was a mysterious, gorgeous man with a heart-breaking past, and the heroine was a single mom of a little girl…
I don’t know what makes a great love story. I only know what makes my love story. Finding him when I did, saved me. He was more broken than I was, but we took each other’s shattered pieces and made a whole. If that is what makes a great love story, then mine… ours is the greatest of them all.

SQUEE!!! This was AMAZING!! — “One minute, I’m about to leap to my death, and the next, I’m saved by a strong, striking soldier. He’s the kind of man that smiles and brightens an entire room.

His unfinished matter involves his twin brother… When I agreed to help, little did I know that I’d fall in love… Now, I am faced with a cruel predicament. In saving one brother, I must let go of the other…”

Kulti is really good, so is Deep Blue Eternity. I liked Revved a lot too, though I found both MCs frustrating at times. I’d read all three of them again though, that always indicates a good book to me. 🙂
