Synopsis:

Randy Ballistic and Lily LeBlanc are head-over-heels, bed-breakingly, screaming orgasmically in love. But even they have their challenges, mostly outside of the bedroom.
With the off-season coming to a close and the boys gearing up for training camp, one more weekend of fun is the perfect way to welcome the new season.
The entire crew piles into vehicles and drives to Alex and Violet’s Chicago cottage for a few days of relaxation―and hopefully a chance for Randy to shake the anxiety that’s been plaguing him.
Accidental wardrobe malfunctions, typical Violet inspired overshares, and a whole lot of private time round out the perfect weekend getaway.
But the moment they return to the city all of Randy’s angst resurfaces with the arrival of a surprise houseguest.

Home by Harlan Coben


Summary from Amazon:


     A decade ago, kidnappers grabbed two boys from wealthy families and demanded ransom, then went silent. No trace of the boys ever surfaced. For ten years their families have been left with nothing but painful memories and a quiet desperation for the day that has finally, miraculously arrived: Myron Bolitar and his friend Win believe they have located one of the boys, now a teenager. Where has he been for ten years, and what does he know about the day, more than half a life ago, when he was taken? And most critically: What can he tell Myron and Win about the fate of his missing friend?

 

My Thoughts:


     Yay! I was so excited when I heard several months ago that not only did Harlan Coben have a new book coming out but also that he was going back to his Myron Bolitar series…I may have done a happy dance! 

     The gang is all here: Myron? Check. Win? Check. Esperanza? Big Cyndi? Check. Zorra? Check. Even Mickey, Ema, and Spoon? Check, check and check!  This was definitely going to be one of those books that I couldn’t wait to read but I also never wanted to start because well, then it would be over! L

     Oh where to start? I haven’t yet reviewed one of Mr. Coben’s books on this blog mainly because I have LOVED them all.  I am afraid that my reviews of his books will boring bordering on gushing because I enjoy his work so much!

     Myron and Win haven’t seen or spoken to each other in over a year.  Myron isn’t really concerned about Win’s wellbeing because well, it is Win.  He just misses his best friend! Win has been in hiding but once he gets an anonymous email claiming to know the whereabouts of his missing cousin and his friend, he finally contacts Myron for help.  Win tried investigating on his own but things didn’t go well…. three people dead and one of the missing boys frightened and running…oopsy!

     What follows, in true Coben fashion, is an investigation steeped in twists and turns but also laughter, tears and tension that will keep you guessing until the last chapters.  Myron and Win still have their great sense of humor but also their amazing sense of humanity and I, for one, am so glad to have them back!

5/5 stars

 


I was so fortunate to (FINALLY!) get to meet Harlan Coben at one of his Home tour stops.  Watermark Books in Wichita, Kansas, hosted a small Q & A with him during the week of release and then he signed books.  Mr. Coben spoke about his writing and creating process which was very interesting and he is so funny! It was a great experience and I am so glad my fabulous hubby took me!

STROKED HARD will be here soon! Check out this teaser and don't forget to add STROKED HARD to your tbr!


STROKED HARD
Scheduled to release: November 1, 2016

Sports Romance
Cover Designed by: Indie Solutions by Murphy Rae


He’s hot. Like, stop breathing kind of hot with his killer body, vivid blue eyes, and constant five o’clock shadow.

Did I mention his body?

Watching Hollis Knightly, Olympic diving gold medalist, man-pony specialist—and cocky bastard—stand up on the diving platform in nothing but a small piece of Spandex? Yeah, I’m beguiled.
And easily seduced.

I want to keep things light but he won’t leave me alone. And hell, if he’s not wearing me thin.

What is supposed to be a simple summer fling with a very hot man, has now morphed into a f*cked-up mess of feelings, attachment, and dare I say it…love. But I don’t do relationships. And Hollis Knightly does.



NOW AVAILABLE!

STROKED by Meghan Quinn
Released: July 19, 2016
Cover Designer: Murphy Rae

BLURB:
Reese King: Olympic medalist, underwear model, Greek god.

His body is chiseled from rock, sculpted by the weight room, and refined by water.

On a daily basis his skin is completely bare for everyone to see, tan and defined, only covered up by a minuscule piece of spandex. There is no denying his sex appeal.

I hate to admit it, but I’m head over heels infatuated with him.

There is one HUGE problem though. His achingly gorgeous abs, inked up arm, and cocky swagger belong to my boss, the high-profile, reality star bitch from hell and certified heinous human being, Bellini Chambers.

What I think is going to be an easy job assisting a glorified wench turns into a cluster f*ck of epic proportions.



STROKED LONG by Meghan Quinn
Scheduled to release: September 20, 2016

Sports Romance
Cover Designed by: Indie Solutions by Murphy Rae
BLURB:
From his dirty-blond hair and breathtaking smile, to the abs from heaven and the irresistible V in his waistline, everything about Bodi Olympic-gold-medalist Banks screams hot piece of @$$.

Yet there’s more.

Dark shadows lurk behind his soulful, serious eyes.

I’m enamored. He’s captured me.

How can running an art foundation with Bodi Banks turns into a slow-burning, epic romance, even though he tries to push me away at every chance? How can I stay away from a broken, routine-driven man whose soul cries to be forgiven for a crime only he believes he committed? Or is that a lie?

**STROKED LONG can be read as a stand alone.


About the Author:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if "It's Raining Men" starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing... enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King: Great thriller! Can't wait to get to #2







Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy by Helen Fielding: Love me some Bridget!







Buy a Whisker by Sofie Ryan: Cute and fun little cozy!

The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

 

Summary from Goodreads:

How well do you know the couple next door? Or your husband? Or even—yourself?  

People are capable of almost anything. . . 
Anne and Marco Conti seem to have it all—a loving relationship, a wonderful home, and their beautiful baby, Cora. But one night when they are at a dinner party next door, a terrible crime is committed. Suspicion immediately focuses on the parents. But the truth is a much more complicated story.

Inside the curtained house, an unsettling account of what actually happened unfolds. Detective Rasbach knows that the panicked couple is hiding something. Both Anne and Marco soon discover that the other is keeping secrets, secrets they've kept for years.

What follows is the nerve-racking unraveling of a family—a chilling tale of deception, duplicity, and unfaithfulness that will keep you breathless until the final shocking twist.
 

My Thoughts:

     When Marco suggests that the cancellation of their babysitter shouldn’t end their plans with neighbors, Anne is hesitant.  She really doesn’t feel comfortable leaving their six-month old home alone while they are next door eating dinner.  But with promises of baby monitors and thirty minute check-ins, Marco convinces her that everything will be fine.
     After a few to many glasses of wine and too much flirting with the hostess by Marco, Anne is done.  She heads home for one last check on her baby girl only to find the front door open and baby Cora gone.  Fear and guilt consume the parents instantly-who would do this?
     The Couple Next Door is full of twist and turns and will keep you reading! I read it all in one day because I just had to know what was going on.  The deeper you delve into the lives of those around little Cora the more secrets come out and the more you realize that you cannot trust anyone. Detective Rasbach definitely has his hands full with this group!
     Most of the characters are unlikeable for one reason or another so it was hard for me to root for anyone in this story.  Baby Cora was the only one whom I was really concerned about.  I also felt that somethings were put in to help the story along and then just…forgotten.  I don’t like that but it was more an annoyance than it was a story ruin-er.  This was, for the most part, a good thriller that will keep you guessing and reading!
3.5/5
 
*This was my September Book of the Month Club selection.
