She came to America searching for her brother. Instead all she’s found is a web of danger.
Cara Hamilton had thought her brother to be dead. Now, clutching his letter, she leaves Ireland for America, desperate to find him. Her search leads her to a houseful of curious strangers, and one man who claims to be a friend–Rourke Walsh. Despite her brother’s warning, Cara trusts Rourke, revealing her purpose in coming to New York.
She’s then thrust into a world of subterfuge, veiled threats, and attempted murder, including political revolutionaries from the homeland out for revenge. Her questions guide her ever nearer to locating her brother–but they also bring her closer to destruction as those who want to kill him track her footsteps.
With her faith in tatters, all hope flees. Will her brother finally surface? Can he save Cara from the truth about Rourke… a man she’s grown to love?
I loved this book. Once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down. I fell in love with Cara and hoped through the whole book that she would find her brother. I knew once she trusted Rourke that everything would get more complicated but I hoped that in the end things would work out for her. On a side note I have recently started listening to a group of singers called Celtic Thunder and I imagine Rourke to be one of the singers from that group so I always liked him. Anyway, back to the review I have to say I liked the ending in once sense but on the other hand it made me sad as well. I wish that everything would have worked out for her but the way it is left it could still work out and I hope that it does.

A Deep Haven Novel
Sometimes the secrets we keep to protect ourselves can be our undoing.
To all who know her, Annalise Decker is a model wife and mother. She’s a permanent member of the PTA, never misses a sporting event, and is constantly campaigning for her husband’s mayoral race.
No one knows that Annalise was once Deidre O’Reilly, a troubled young woman whose testimony put a dangerous criminal behind bars. Relocated through the Witness Security Program to the quaint harbor town of Deep Haven, Deidre received a new identity and a fresh start, which began when she fell in love with local real estate agent Nathan Decker.
Twenty years later, Annalise couldn’t be more unprepared for her past to catch up with her. When Agent Frank Harrison arrives with news that the man she testified against is out on parole and out for revenge, Annalise is forced to face the consequences of her secrets. Will she run again, or will she finally find the courage to trust those she loves most with both her past and her future?
I love reading books by this author but I have to admit that this book wasn’t my favorite. It is a good book and definitely worth reading but it isn’t one that I would pick up on my own and just start reading. You find out shortly into the book that Annalise the main character in the book is in the witness protection program and that her husband who doesn’t know about her past is running for mayor. The first thing that I thought when I found out all this is that who ever she is hiding from is going to find her and she is either going to have to run or face him. The writing is great and her writing does keep you interested but I couldn’t get to into the book because I saw where it was going to go. I am for sure going to read more of her books because like I said she is an amazing writer and I have loved the other books of hers that I have read.

I am sure that most of you know that I love to read. I read tons of books every week and I want to list a few of them for the people who also like to read and are looking for books to read. I know that before I started reviewing books I always ran out of good books to read so I want to let others know some of my favorite books from the past few months or so. Here is the list of a few good books.
I can’t say enough about this book!!!!!! Once I picked it up I fell in love. If you liked Hunger Games (which I did not. I haven’t even finished the series because I just couldn’t get into them.) you will love this book. This type of book usually isn’t something that I like to read but I really got into this one and I am so glad that I took the time to read it. Although it only took a few days for me to read the whole book.
This is the second book in the Divergent series and I really like this book as well. There were times when I thought that Tris had a death wish but in the end I still think she does. I spent a lot of the book wondering what in the heck she was doing but I also read this one in a couple of days. When I finally finished the book I was sad that I was going to have to wait over a year to read the final book in the series but I also can’t wait to see how it ends.
I can’t say enough about this book. I am just going to copy and paste the original review that I posted on my site for this one. I also want to let everyone know that the authors newest book is coming out next month and I will be reviewing it so be on the look out for this book because I literally can’t wait to receive the book so that I can’t start reading her new one.
I can’t even put into words how much I truly loved this book. I had a hard time reading this book because it made me cry so much and even though it made me cry I didn’t want to put it down and stop reading it. I loved following the characters and even though you know the mom is going to pass away I had to keep reading. I believe that this book was so hard for me because I can relate to the topic. As some of you know I go to a cancer center every month to get my MS treatment so I do know a lot of people who have cancer and I have had several family members pass away from cancer as well. It broke my heart to know that the girl at such a young age was going to lose her mom.
I found the idea of making milestone tapes is a great idea even if you don’t know you are dying. My great grandma passed away when I was a senior in high school and I was so close to her. After reading this book I wish she would have written down things or even made tapes so that I could go back and listen or read her words. I am sure any person would love to go back and read what their parents left them.
When it comes right down to it I have to give this book 5 stars and it will be a book that I will always keep and I am sure I will read it over and over again. I recommend this to anyone who knows what is feels like to lose a loved one!
First as I was writing this post I was totally shocked that I never posted my review of this book. I loved this book. Here is the review I wrote off of my Goodreads account:
I am not even sure where I should start with this book. I know that there are no words to describe how much I loved this book. Right when I started this book I was hooked. The author did a great job of giving the background information that you needed while reading the story but he didn’t over do it with to much information. I loved how you got to follow along as Adam Brown grew up and you get to be there through all of his ups and downs. I loved how I got to know him from a young age and also knew when he went through. It made it even better when he finally got where he wanted to be. It also made the ending even harder on me. When I got close to the end I didn’t want to finish the book because I knew what was coming and I didn’t want it to come to end.
Those are just a few of the books I have loved but there are tons more of them. If you want any other suggestions or if there is a book you think I will like please leave it in the comments and I will for sure check it out. I am always on the lookout for new books and great authors.

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.
