My Favorite Find (Feb.18)

MY FAVORITE ‘FIND’ — a spinoff of MizB’s Friday Finds event — showcases that one drool-worthy find from the week’s collection.

This week’s fave find is …actually three books! I couldn’t pick just one! LOL. So, here they are:

“WHEN YOU WERE MINE” by Rebecca Serle 
[description from GoodReads.com] ~  “What’s in a name, Shakespeare? I’ll tell you: everything.”

“Rosaline knows that she and Rob are destined to be together. Rose has been waiting for years for Rob to kiss her–and when he finally does, it’s perfect. But then Juliet moves back to town. Juliet, who used to be Rose’s best friend. Juliet, who now inexplicably hates her. Juliet, who is gorgeous, vindictive, and a little bit crazy…and who has set her sights on Rob. He doesn’t even stand a chance.

Rose is devastated over losing Rob to Juliet. This is not how the story was supposed to go. And when rumors start swirling about Juliet’s instability, her neediness, and her threats of suicide, Rose starts to fear not only for Rob’s heart, but also for his life. Because Shakespeare may have gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it ends.

“THE IRON HOUSE” by John Hart
[description from GoodReads.com] ~  An old man is dying.
          When the old man is dead they will come for him.
          And they will come for her, to make him hurt.
John Hart delivers his fourth novel — a gut-wrenching, heart-stopping thriller no reader will soon forget.

He would go to Hell
     At the Iron Mountain Home for Boys, there was nothing but time. Time to burn and time to kill, time for two young orphans to learn that life isn’t won without a fight. Julian survives only because his older brother, Michael, is fearless and fiercely protective. When tensions boil over and a boy is brutally killed, there is only one sacrifice left for Michael to make: He flees the orphanage and takes the blame with him.

To keep her safe…
     For two decades, Michael has been an enforcer in New York’s world of organized crime, a prince of the streets so widely feared he rarely has to kill anymore. But the life he’s fought to build unravels when he meets Elena, a beautiful innocent who teaches him the meaning and power of love. He wants a fresh start with her, the chance to start a family like the one he and Julian never had. But someone else is holding the strings. And escape is not that easy. . . .

Go to Hell, and come back burning….
    The mob boss who gave Michael his blessing to begin anew is dying, and his son is intent on making Michael pay for his betrayal. Determined to protect the ones he loves, Michael spirits Elena—who knows nothing of his past crimes, or the peril he’s laid at her door— back to North Carolina, to the place he was born and the brother he lost so long ago. There, he will encounter a whole new level of danger, a thicket of deceit and violence that leads inexorably to the one place he’s been running from his whole life: Iron House.

“THE PREGNANCY PROJECT” by Gaby Rodriguez
[description from GoodReads.com] ~ In this book, Rodriguez shares her experience growing up in the shadow of low expectations, reveals how she was able to fake her own pregnancy, and reveals all that she learned from the experience.
