You may know by now how much I love my Kindle. For Christmas, hubs bought me a Kindle Fire and since then, I have been reading even more than usual. I am going to share some of my favorites from the past month with you. Be sure to check them out for yourself.
First up is Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. This was my first read by this author, and as you will see, not my last. This has turned into one of my favorite books of all time. Focusing on a girl trying to escape her past in college who falls, despite her best efforts, for a “bad boy”. Abby tries to ignore Travis’ intentions but loses (or does she?) in a bet and must spend a month with him. You find yourself drawn to these two characters and it isn’t until the very end that you truly see the way it will end. I loved that this book had me guessing all the way through. What ended up happening is I fell in love with Abby and Travis and I bet you will too.
Next up is Providence by the same author, Jamie McGuire. As I tend to do, once I read Beautiful Disaster and enjoyed it so much, I moved on to other books by the same author. Without knowing what I was getting myself into, I started this book. I was a bit surprised that it was a Paranormal Romance but that didn’t stop me from reading on. In fact, I was already drawn into the story line! This story takes place in Providence, Rhode Island and focuses on the main character Nina being caught in a war between heaven and hell, literally. Falling for Jared Ryel seemed too coincidental for me so I was not surprised that he played a bigger role in her life but I was expecting body guard as her father was apparently mixed up in some bad stuff. What I was not ready for was that Jared was Nina’s guardian angel and was there to protect her. He had fallen in love with Nina and finally told her. I loved this book and was anxious that Nina and Jared weren’t going to make it with all the cards stacked against them and it had me waiting on pins and needles to find out where the two would end up. Be sure to keep track of the few main characters because they play roles in the second book, Requiem which I will talk about next. This is a great book and was incredibly easy to read because it grabbed my attention from the beginning.
This is the second book in the Providence series. Requiem takes over where Providence ended with Jared and Nina in a relationship. This book is much more action than romance and it certainly kept me interested. Nina is having bad dreams, nightmares really, and they are all focusing on one thing… a book. This story brings you along with Jared, Claire, Bex, Kim, Ryan and Nina on their search for this book and what it means for Nina. Remember I told you to keep track of the characters, well this book is why. Ryan and Kim play large rolls in this one and Claire as well. The author, Jamie McGuire has promised me that there will be plenty of Claire and the other characters in the next installment and I, personally, can’t wait! No really, I am so excited for the next book! I love how much research and thought Jamie very obviously puts into her writing. As far as Paranormal books go, she has this one just right. Be sure to check it out!
