Sherlock Holmes and the Needle's Eye by Len Bailey is transportive. Watson and Holmes are fantastically reinvented in this amazing novel. The idea of traveling and connecting biblical references with the situation these men must solve is thrilling. It grabs you from the first page and does not let go until the last page. I was pleasantly surprised by how intriguing this story actually was because I have never read any kind of story like this but decided to give it a read and am happy I did. I believe this would make for a wonderful vacation read or a quite weekend read, either way this is a novel not to be missed.

Simply Delicious Amish Cooking Recipes and stories from the Amish of Sarasota, Florida By Sherry Gore is a fantastic recipe book. First I read it then I made the mayonnaise chocolate cake recipe and it was a huge hit with my family. When I say I am not a baker, I mean I can count the number of times I have baked in the last year in one hand. So for me to want to grab the ingredients and bake was huge and exciting all at the same time. You can say her friendly and easily doable recipes were exactly perfect to get me playing in my kitchen. Not only do I now have an adorable recipe book but I also have a tiny glimpse into the Amish of Sarasota and I really like that.

Afloat by Erin Healy is like no novel I have ever read, she grips you from the first sentence and takes you for a ride. I am used to novels that you can already know where the story is going but still not be bored with the story. Fortunately this story had many twists and turns that I had no idea what was going to happen next and I was happy I had no clue. How can anyone not like a story filled with intrigue and the human emotions of a handful of people? I had favorites and had my not so favorites but in the end I thoroughly enjoyed all that this tale had to offer and more. I learned.

Stress Test by Richard Mabry is one thrill ride of a novel. I am not the type of person to read medical related novels or even watch all the doctor shows available for viewing. Fortunately something told me I had to grab a copy and am I glad I did. I cannot believe how many hours I thoroughly enjoyed losing sleep while reading after my day was mine to relax. This is the tale of Dr. Matt Newman and the way his life became a game of survival, a battle for his life. All I can say is that if I were to write any of the high-paced, unbelievable scenarios Dr. Newman is enduring, you would miss out on the ride that is this fantastic novel.

The House that Love Built by Beth Wiseman is the perfect combination of cute and sweet, if that can be said of a novel. I fell hard for the story of Brooke and Owen right from the beginning. It is the story of a man and a woman struggling with life shattering issues and both are taking the steps to deal with and at the same time avoid, which lets face it is the only way any of us know how. I fell hook, line, and sinker for the struggles Brooke and Owen are dealing with so much so that I felt like I was dealing with the issues along with them. I cannot write this enough but this novel was utterly believable and charming that I took a personal day and only read this wonderful, uplifting, and adorable novel.I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program.

Truth Stained Lies (Moonlighters Series) is intriguing. The premise being that Cathy and her sisters solve the murder of their brother's ex-wife so that he does not serve a life sentence of the crime. Each of the sisters are doing their part to investigate what happened and why the criminal is after their brother and eventually their own. All of which is being shared on a blog belonging to Cathy. This aspect of social media is relatable and scary to think that we share so much of ourselves without realizing who is reading our thoughts and opinions. It was Nancy Drew 2.0, loved it.

The Survivor by DiAnn Mills was intriguing and exciting. I was gripped from the first sentence to the last. I love this genre of novels, crime with love mingled in. Kariss is one tough cookie and can handle most anything that comes at her. Women that are strong are always a joy to read because I believe all women are stronger than what they believe themselves to be, we can handle more than we know. I am happy to say that I lost a nights sleep so that I could know what was going to happen next, a real page turner. This is the perfect summer novel enjoyed with a cool and refreshing drink on hand.I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program.
