If I Say No by Brandy Jellum was a great book.  This is the second book in this series and I did read and review the first one so if you missed that review you can click here and check that one out.  I have to say that I liked this book more than I like the first one and I am not sure why.  One thing about this book that was different for me is the fact that I loved Reid this time and didn’t like Eli at all.  There were things in this book that took me by surprise which is why I think I like this book more than the first one.  If you love mystery/thriller type books than I would for sure tell you check this one out.  If you have read it what did you think of the book?

About The Author

Brandy’s passion for writing began long before she actually sat down to write.

Finally, in 2012, she decided to create her own stories for people to fall in love with. Brandy bounces back and forth writing both Romance and Young Adult Fiction (which is mainly just for fun).

At the beginning of 2014, Brandy signed a contract with publishing company Booktrope. She is very excited about the next chapter of her life and cannot wait to share her books and passion with readers.

Overkill by Amy Saunders

Book Review

Overkill by Amy Saunders was a fun book to read.  I have to admit that I was lost through parts of this book because I haven’t read any other books in this series.  That being said you can read this book and still understand this story you just won’t understand some of the backstory like me.  Anyway lets get back to this book.  I loved all the characters and the way that this book is written.  I am for sure going to go back and read the other books in this series because the author does a great job of writing and making you feel as  though the characters are real life people.  If you love mystery books than make sure you check this one out.

Almost Perfect by Orly Krauss-Winer

Book ReviewAlmost Perfect by Orly Krauss-Winer was a hard book for me to get into.  This is usually the genre for books that I love but for some reason I just couldn’t get into this book.  This book had everything that I usually love in a good book but it just wasn’t the right fit for me.  There were parts where I have to keep reading because I wanted to know what happened next and then there were other parts where so was uninterested and I would just skim read the pages.  If you love Mystery/Thrillers I would give this one a shot because I am sure most people would love it.

Almost PerfectAbout The Book

A Saturday off-road outing leads to a burned-out car with a man’s body inside: a young and successful lawyer found dead, with no known enemies.
Three women, all deeply connected in some way to the victim, are swept into the investigation, involving a post-WWII love affair, an embezzlement case, and a brilliant police detective. When the truth is revealed, secrets are exposed – they must all face a difficult, complex, and unexpected reality.

Almost Perfect is a light thriller, which does not require a thorough reading to trace the hidden details. You will find a sophisticated, intriguing story, variety in the narration, and many secondary stories (interesting in themselves), connecting to a harmonious overall picture. It has humanity and longing for warmth and love.
The writer sets her stories in the real world, where the smells, tastes and feelings are known and accessible to the reader. These make the book enjoyable, thrilling, and allow the reader to connect with the characters.

Orly Krauss-WinerAbout The Author

I was born in 1959, in Israel, the eldest child of parents who immigrated from different parts of the world. My father came from Hungary after World War II, and my mother from Uzbekistan, after a long, ten-year journey with her family through the desert, by way of Afghanistan, India, and Sri-Lanka. My sixth book was about my father’s family history, their brave and special story of survival through the Holocaust, and I dedicated my eleventh book to the story of the hardships endured by my mother’s family in the desert.
My love of books goes back to when I was a child; my parents taught me to read at the age of four, and I’ve been a voracious reader ever since. I used to read under my desk at school, and I was kicked out so many times that, in high school, I went straight to the beach in Tel-Aviv with my books, not bothering to stop off at school. Nonetheless, I successfully earned a high school diploma, served in the army, and studied at Tel-Aviv University, for both an undergraduate and a graduate degree.
I worked as a flight attendant for El-Al airlines for seven years, then became a freelance writer for several newspapers. Three years later, based on my experiences and happy memories of those years in the air and the unique lifestyle of the flight crews, l wrote a romantic thriller about three flight attendants. The novel was an overnight success, and topped the bestseller list for weeks.
I’ve since published twelve books, all best sellers in Israel, many based on my personal stories, and those of my family and friends. I currently live in Tel-Aviv with my 21-year-old daughter, Gal, and my partner, Gili.
I write a book a year. My novels are romantic thrillers and historical romances, for the most part based on true stories. Naturally, those written about my family and my life are dear to my heart. On the other hand, I enjoy writing the romantic thrillers more, so it’s hard to say which of my novels I like best. One thing is certain – I thank God every day for granting me the privilege of working at something I love so much.

Not This Time by Vicki Hinze

Book Review

Not This Time by Vicki Hinze was interesting book to read.  At times I got bogged down in all the details that she had in the book but other times I was glad that she had all the detail that she did.  I loved all of the characters & the setting of this book and it made me want to check out the first two books in the series and see what happened in them.  That being said I understood most of what was going on so you don’t have to read them in order  but if are wanting to read all the books in the series than I would for sure suggest that you read them in order.  This book is also fast paced which is nice because it keeps you reading even at the parts where there could be less details used.  If you love suspense novels than I would for sure recommend this book to you.
