Caught myself doing this last night. Spent around 30 minutes reliving some of them before I got interrupted.

This happened last night. I was so close to finishing a book and was just getting to that point where you know you will be speed reading through it to find out what happened and my family would not stop talking. I ended up closing my book and just staring at them till they got the point and left me alone.

This happens quite often. I’ll be reading and see/hear my phone go off and be like I’ll check you in a minute but be so engrossed in my book that that minute has turned into hours and by then it’s too late to respond.

Book 3 of the Ryder Bay series that follows Skylar and Jed May contain spoilers
Skylar, after being in a coma for four weeks, finally wakes up while Jed is in her room cleaning and talking to her. When she wakes up she is groggy and does not remember what happened to her. Since she has been asleep for so long, she has to go through physical therapy to learn how to walk again. A few days after waking up and learning to walk again, Sklyar is released to go home. When she arrives home and goes to her room she gets a bad feeling and can’t stay in her room so her mom sets her up in the downstairs guest room, it also makes it easier, as she is still weak.
Her mom tries to do everything she can think of to get her back to the old Skylar, even throwing her a party with all her friends. It’s too much for her to take and she ends up slipping out, going to the roof where Savannah finds her thinking she is going to do something bad. Skylar has a darkness in her that she can’t escape from. She keeps having flashes of color in her mind but is not able to connect the dots. Savannah, not being able to help her, asks Jed for help, as she feels like it will benefit her to have new people around and not people from her past. She slowly gets to know Griffin, Savannah’s boyfriend; Harley, Adian’s girlfriend; and Jed, Harley’s BMF. When she is around Jed she feels a safe prescenes around her; when she is around her boyfriend, Craig she gets this off feeling.
After some time, Skylar remembers what happened to her on that fateful day. Luckily, she feels safe enough with Jed that she tells him everything and he promises to help her but that she needs to tell everyone else what happened. When everyone learns the secret, they come up with a way to help with the solution.
There is so much more I could write about but in order to leave you hanging and wanting to read the book yourself, I will leave off with this: once you find out what happened and what is going to happen you will need tissues but then you will be cheering for Skylar. This story focus is mainly on Skylar and Jed unlike the previous books where all the characters had semi-equal roles, but it’s what this one needed. Hope you enjoy this trilogy as much as I did. Now we wait for Little Lettie.

Whether you understand or not, I am still me. I’m trying to decide what kind of fantasy I want to live in right now. What fantasy are you living in?

A few years ago I did this with Morganville Vampires by: Rachel Caine. My daughter actually bought Ghost Town and after she read it and done research on it she discovered it was part of a 15 book series. It sounded so good we went on a hunt to find them all before I started the series.

Wish this was me today, instead we are celebrating our eldest daughter’s Sweet 16 today.
Always Been Mine by: Weston Parker
David and Allison grew up together as neighbors and in high school became more than just friends. David is a year older, and after graduation, he decided to enlist in the Air Force. He returns home on leave and it happens to be Allison’s senior prom time. With no date, David takes her. After a wonderful night together, his time is up on leave so he has to head back to the Air Force and leaves her heartbroken and in the arms of another guy. Now years later he is back home to clear out the family estate after the loss of his father and discovers that Allison is a single mother to a mini-me named Sierra.
After finding out that Allison is looking for a job, he ends up making up a position in his company for her, as he is the CEO. They work close together daily, and it starts to bleed into their personal life. He begins to help Sierra out whatever she needs.
He has been wanting to settle down and start a family, so who better to do this with than his first true love. And the fact that he is already falling in love with her daughter only helps to sweeten the pot. As they get closer they have a few bumps in the road on their way to a happily ever after.
I loved the extended epilogue or novella whatever you want to call it; it was nice to see the after in a story and not just the up to. Not many authors add it in you have to email them and usually have to wait days or weeks for the bonus and sometimes after you have waited all that time it loses some of its bang.
