First Came Us by Rachel Cullen ~ a Review
by Susan Roberts
Ellie: 'Just moments ago, I applauded myself for how efficiently I made my way through Trader Joe's...but now I am wandering the aisles of CVS and I can't even remember why I came in here."
Jack: "I want everyone to pretend like I'm not here so I can get to the gym, come home, shower, grab breakfast and get in the car to get to campus by eight-thirty. Then I would have time to go through email before office hours and have the rest of the morning and early afternoon to work on my book before class at two." (p47)

Temporary Wife Temptation by Jayci Lee ~ a Review & Excerpt
by MK French
Garrett Song is close to taking over his family's fashion empire when his grandmother tells him that she will announce his engagement to a woman of her choosing at the same time that he is announced as CEO. He rebels against that, claiming that he already has a fiancee, and lands on Natalie Sobol, poised to become the vice president of Human Resources at the company. She needs a fake marriage just as much as he does if she is to formally adopt her niece. While they can agree on a fake marriage, there is a very real attraction between them both.

Mercy House by Alena Dillon ~ a Review
by Susan Roberts
"Mercy House was a safe haven for victims of domestic violence, founded and operated by Sister Evelyn, Sister Josephine and Sister Maria, nuns of the order of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Mercy. Their five bedroom, hundred year old row house in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn was almost always at capacity. As Evelyn said, Good for Mercy, bad for Humanity." (p 3)

Been There, Married That by Gigi Levangie ~ a Review
by MK French
Agnes Murphy Nash thought she was the perfect Hollywood wife until it was suddenly upended. Her husband decided he wasn't happy with her, and cancelled her credit cards, decided to lock her out of their home and sell it out from under her, and go all in for a divorce just so he could win against her. Friends disappear, there is an "intervention" and her flaky sister bounces back into her life just when she least expects it.

Above the Bay of Angels by Rhys Bowen ~ a Review
by Donna Huber
London, September 1896
If Helen Barton hadn't stepped out in front of an omnibus, I might still be sweeping floors and lighting fires at an ostentatious house in St John's Wood. But for once I had followed my father's advice. (p.1)
