Rach’s Top 8. Don’t ask why not 10.
It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover.
(Get tissues ready.)
The newest, highly anticipated novel from beloved #1 New York
Times bestselling author, Colleen Hoover.
Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most.
Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her
from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small
town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston,
and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous
neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems
almost too good to be true.
Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s
also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he
looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But
Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds
herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but
wonder what made him that way in the first place.
As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do
thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left
behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly
reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.
With
this bold and deeply personal novel, Colleen Hoover delivers a heart-wrenching
story that breaks exciting new ground for her as a writer. Combining a
captivating romance with a cast of all-too-human characters, It Ends With Us
is an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.

The Problem With Forever by Jennifer
L Armentrout.
This
one ripped my heart out then repaired it then ripped it out again. It won’t
only make you feel but it will make you feel apart of the story.
"Heartbreakingly real…a remarkable novel about the power of
first love and the courage it takes to face your fears. "—Kami Garcia, #1 New
York Times bestselling author
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L.
Armentrout comes a riveting story about friendship, survival and finding your
voice.
Growing up, Mallory Dodge learned that the best way to survive
was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare
ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a
lifetime. Now, after years of homeschooling, Mallory must face a new
milestone—spending her senior year at a public high school. But she never
imagined she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen
since childhood, on her very first day.
It
doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with
Rider never really faded. Yet soon it becomes apparent that she’s not the only
one grappling with lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s
life spiral out of control, Mallory must make a choice between staying silent
and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants and the truths
that need to be heard.

born to be his. She’s always loved me. She’s shattered me. She’s healed me.

Author Anonymous by E.K Blair.
The
whole entire time I read this book all I said was “OH SH!TE!”
You
will too. Believe me.
Get

*An intoxicatingly risqué stand-alone book.
She’s an author.
She’s a mother.
She’s a wife.
She’s a fraud, a woman marked and bound by her own deceit.
Experience the astounding tale of how Anonymous battled through
a year of scandals and betrayals, how her world fell from its axis with a
single choice, and how she lost herself between reality and fantasy.
This is a stand-alone tangled in lust, heartbreak, and
contrition.

on a true story.

late night message she finds herself falling in love.

I
sure do LOVE Meghan. I have been a faithful reader/lover of hers since the
beginning. And over time with each book she just keeps getting better and
better. This one was one of my absolute favorites. Can I say “OH ALPHA!!” Wow.
Beneath These Shadows is a STANDALONE romance set in the
world of the Beneath series. You DO NOT have to read any other books in the
series to enjoy it.

dangerously sexy alpha hero...
The only permanent thing in my life is the ink I put on my
clients.
I drift from city to city, in and out of beds, from one tattoo
shop to the next.
Every time I start to put down roots, I rip them up.
Until New Orleans.
Until her.
She’s everything I’m not.
Full of fire and life. An innocent where I’m a sinner.
I want to consume her. Protect her. Keep her.
But
first, I have to escape from beneath these shadows.
JUST GO! I GOT NOTHING ELSE WITTY TO SAY! Amazon
Cheers to a new year full of new beginnings and new
BOOKS!!!
