Weekend Romance: Save As Draft by Cavanaugh Lee

I love to read romance novels over the weekend and Save As Draft by Cavanaugh Lee is a perfect Lazy Day E-Scape.

Written in emails, texts, twitter and facebook updates, Save As Draft is not your usual romance novel, but it is oh so fun!

I often find myself saving drafts of emails and never sending them (my drafts folder currently has over 100 emails in it, just begging for attention), or editing them so severely that by the time I do send them, they don’t resemble the original message at all, so the concept here is familiar to me. Throw in a little love triangle…

Book Review: Full Black by Brad Thor

With each terrorist attack on U.S. soil, Americans gave up more of their rights. Harvath was reminded of the line, paraphrasing Benjamin Franklin, that those who trade some of their liberty for a little temporary security deserve neither and will lose both. The wisdom of the founders never ceased to amaze him.

After tracking down a deadly terrorist cell, former Seal Team 6 and current Carlton Group member, Scot Harvath formulates a plan to infiltrate the cell to stop a string of deadly attacks on American soil. After the mission goes horribly wrong, and more attacks are launched in the heart of America, Harvath must go Full Black to uncover those responsible and bring them to his brand of justice.

Lazy Day E-Scape: Love Story by Jennifer Echols

Over the last few weeks, I’ve found myself reading murder mysteries, spy thrillers and psychological suspense novels to the exclusion of all other genres. It was time for a change of pace, so on Sunday, I picked up Love Story, by Jennifer Echols.

She’s writing about him. He’s writing about her. And everybody is reading between the lines.

Love Story is a young adult contemporary romance novel. Set at New York City College, this is the story of Erin Blackwell, who grew up on her grandmothers’ racehorse farm in Kentucky, and Hunter Allen, her stable boy.

Thriller Thursday: Dominance by Will Lavender

Dominance is a novel about a puzzle game about a novel. Sounds confusing, but it’s not. And it’s not just any game, it’s a deadly one. One that Harvard professor Alex Shipley will have to solve very quickly before the killer catches up to her.

Fifteen years earlier, Alex was part of a night class called Unraveling a Literary Mystery, taught by famed professor Richard Aldiss. Aldiss was teaching the class remotely from his prison cell where he was serving time for the brutal murders of two female grad students. The women were killed with an axe and their bodies decorated with the novels of reclusive author Paul Fallows. The night class’ assignment was to solve the mystery of Paul Fallows’ identity using his novels as their map. The way to follow the map was through a mysterious game called The Procedure.
