What We're Reading Wednesday

Me. All.The.Time. 

I read 4 books in August and most were good. :)

Kiss Me If You Can

Carly Phillips

I've read several books by Carly Phillips and I've liked all of them. This one was alright. I'm not sure if it was the plot or characters but it wasn't my favorite. 

The GoodReads summary....

Sam Cooper (“Coop”) has just become the most eligible bachelor in New York City. After foiling a jewelry store robbery, and being rewarded with the ring of his choice, single women all over the city are fawning over the crime reporter. But Coop isn’t interested in the admirers sending racy underwear his way. His attention is centered solely on Lexie Davis, the only woman in the city who claims not to be interested in his bachelor status.

Love Me If You Dare

Carly Phillips

This is the second in the series so I HAD to read it to see if I liked it any better than the first. I hate to say I didn't enjoy it any better. It was just ok. 

The GoodReads summary...

When hostage negotiator Rafe Mancuso takes a bullet to save Sara Rios, his former partner, his actions make him a bona fide hero—and New York City's newest most eligible bachelor. Then Rafe admits that Sara is much more than just another woman he's rescued. Suddenly, a firestorm of gossip turns him into exactly what he doesn't want to be: the Bachelor Blog's newest hot topic. His only solution is to leave town and get himself out of the spotlight…and sexy, jaded Sara out of his mind. 

The Mermaid Chair

Sue Monk Kidd

This is one of the books my high school friend picked out for me to read. I would have never picked this one up. I was interested the entire book and thoroughly enjoyed it. 

The GoodReads summary...

Sue Monk Kidd's phenomenal debut, The Secret Life of Bees, became a runaway bestseller that is still on the New York Timesbestseller list more than two years after its paperback publication. Now, in her luminous new novel, Kidd has woven a transcendent tale that will thrill her legion of fans. Telling the story of Jessie Sullivan -- a love story between a woman and a monk, a woman and her husband, and ultimately a woman and her own soul -- Kidd charts a journey of awakening and self-discovery illuminated with a brilliance that only a writer of her ability could conjure.

The Rumor 

Elin Hilderbrand

Elin Hilderbrand writes awesome books. They are always fun to read. This is the 2nd book I've read out the the 20 from my local bookstore. It was super! 

Here's the GoodReads summary...

Madeline King and Grace Pancik are best friends and the envy of Nantucket for their perfect marriages, their beautiful kids, their Sunday night double dates with their devoted husbands. But this summer, something's changed, and if there's anything Nantucket likes better than cocktails on the beach at sunset, it's a good rumor.

And rumor has it...

I can't wait to get some recommendations from everyone. Thanks for the awesome link up ladies!
