Lady Theif by A.C. Gaughen
Lady Thief by A.C. Gaughen
Scarlet’s true identity has been revealed, but her future is uncertain. Her
forced marriage to Lord Gisbourne threatens Robin and Scarlet’s love, and as the
royal court descends upon Nottingham for the appointment of a new Sheriff, the
people of Nottingham hope that Prince John will appoint their beloved Robin
Hood. But Prince John has different plans for Nottingham that revolve around a
fateful secret from Scarlet’s past even she isn’t yet aware of. Forced to
participate at court alongside her ruthless husband, Scarlet must bide her time
and act the part of a noblewoman—a worthy sacrifice if it means helping Robin’s
cause and a chance at a future with the man she loves. With a fresh line of
intrigue and as much passion as ever, the next chapter in Scarlet’s tale will
have readers talking once again
This sequel to Scarlet left me yearning for more! I loved it! Her spin on the Robin Hood tale is as original as it is romantic. Timeless.

Summer Reads!
My favorite books to read in the summer are light, fun, breezy reads.
Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly
Deep in the ocean, in a world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all over the globe.
When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin's arrow poisons Sera's mother. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin's master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world's very existence.
Surfacing (Swans Landing) Volume 1 by: Shana Norris
Sixteen-year-old Mara Westray has just lost her mother, and now, being shipped off to live with the father she doesn’t know is not how she imagined grieving. She’s already counting down the days until she turns eighteen and can leave the tiny island of Swans Landing. But from the moment she steps off the ferry, nothing is as ordinary as it looks. Whispers of a haunting song on the wind make her see impossible things, and she isn’t sure she can trust her judgment about what is real and what isn’t anymore. Maybe she can’t even trust her judgment about quiet Josh Canavan, whose way of speaking in riddles and half-truths only confuses her more, luring her deeper into the secrets hidden beneath the ocean’s surface. As she tries to unravel the events that led to her mom fleeing the island sixteen years ago, Mara finds that the biggest secret of all is only the beginning.
Crash Into You by: Katie Mc Garry
From acclaimed author Katie McGarry comes an
explosive new tale of a good girl with a reckless streak, a
street-smart guy with nothing to lose, and a romance forged in the fast
lane
The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect life—that's who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers…and she's just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker—a guy she has no business even talking to. But when the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can't get him out of her mind.
Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks—no matter how angelic she might look.
But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives in jeopardy, they have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to discover just how far they'll go to save each other.

Just Like the Movies
Just Like the Movies by: Kelly Fiore
Pretty, popular Marijke Monti and over-achieving nerd-girl Lily Spencer have little in common—except that neither feels successful when it comes to love. Marijke can’t get her boyfriend to say “I love you” and Lily can’t get a boyfriend at all. When the girls end up at a late night showing of Titanic, sniffling along with the sinking ship, they realize that their love lives could—and should—be better. Which sparks an idea: Why can’t life be like a movie? Why can’t they create perfect romantic situations? Now they have a budding friendship and a plan—to act out grand gestures and get the guys of their dreams. It seems like fun at first, but reality turns out to be much more complicated, and they didn’t take into account that finding true love usually requires finding yourself first.
