Next Year In Havana

Look at this beautiful cover! I picked up this book because Reese Witherspoon recommended it in her book club. What an amazing beautiful journey this book took me on! Probably my top read of the YEAR!! Chanel Cleeton is releasing book 2 next year and I absolutely cannot wait. I recommend this book to everyone I know and have bought a few copies to give as gifts. Beautiful, beautiful book!  Here is a synopsis...

"After the death of her beloved grandmother, a Cuban-American woman travels to Havana, where she discovers the roots of her identity--and unearths a family secret hidden since the revolution... Havana, 1958. The daughter of a sugar baron, nineteen-year-old Elisa Perez is part of Cuba's high society, where she is largely sheltered from the country's growing political unrest--until she embarks on a clandestine affair with a passionate revolutionary... Miami, 2017. Freelance writer Marisol Ferrera grew up hearing romantic stories of Cuba from her late grandmother Elisa, who was forced to flee with her family during the revolution. Elisa's last wish was for Marisol to scatter her ashes in the country of her birth. Arriving in Havana, Marisol comes face-to-face with the contrast of Cuba's tropical, timeless beauty and its perilous political climate. When more family history comes to light and Marisol finds herself attracted to a man with secrets of his own, she'll need the lessons of her grandmother's past to help her understand the true meaning of courage--and what it means to be Cuban"--

My Oxford Year

Another 5 star book! Wow I absolutely loved this book. There was an emotional twist in the book that I wasn't expecting though. This was a cute, romantic story that had me hooked from the beginning.  Here is the synopsis..

She could never have guessed what the year would hold... Gazing up at the dreaming spires of Oxford, American student Ella Duran can't believe it: she has finally arrived at Oxford University. A new life starts, and not even Ella's handsome lecturer Jamie Davenport can distract her from her classes. But, as the term goes on, Ella can't deny the growing attraction between them - an attraction that soon turns to love. And when Ella learns of Jamie's life-changing secret, their relationship becomes deeper than Ella could have ever anticipated. As Ella's Oxford year draws to a close, she must decide whether the dreams she arrived with are the same ones with which she will leave...

Here is a favorite line from the book...

His voice makes me feel as if I'm lying in a hammock.

Look the Part

Look at this cover!! I absolutely love all of Jewel E Ann's books.  So when I heard she was releasing a new book, I knew it would be amazing. Plus, how can you go wrong with a cover like this! 

I was hooked from the very first chapter. I usually know right away if a book will be a 5 star pretty early on. This was definitely a 5 star!! Here is a synopsis of the book.

Flint Hopkins finds the perfect tenant to rent the space above his Minneapolis-based law office. All the t's are crossed and i's dotted on Ellen's application. Her references are good. And she's easy on the eyes. Until ... Flint discovers Ellen Rodgers, Board-Certified Music Therapist, plays music. Bongos, guitars, singing-not Beethoven administered through noise-cancelling headphones. The cut-throat attorney serves up an eviction notice to the bubbly, constantly humming redhead who's too sexy for her own good. But luck is on Ellen's side when Flint's autistic son, Harrison, takes an instant liking to her. A single dad can't compete with guitars-and rats. Yes, she has pet rats. This woman ... She's annoyingly happy with a constant need to touch him-adjust his tie, button his shirt, invade his space, and mess with his mind. Still ... She must go. Their lust-hate relationship escalates into something beautiful and tragic. This sexy, romantic-comedy explores the things we want, the things we need, and the impossible decisions parents and children make to survive.

My favorite line in the book...

She's flirting with me. Messing with me. Fucking with my head.

Another favorite...

The dark look he gives me makes the cool night feel like a hot July.
