Tanner
Cole was a football star until one bad tackle took him out of the game. Now
he’s just struggling to get through rehab and move on with his life. Too bad he
doesn’t really know what he wants to do. Physical therapy is not one of the
things, he knows that. Too bad his physical therapist is dealaing with his own
mending after a car accident which means that Tanner is about to get
reassigned.
Jordan
loves her job. No, like really, enjoys going to work every day. Until she meets
Mr. Full-of-Himself Tanner. Him, she doesn’t like. His house, she does. And
since she needs a place to live (not a great plot point) and he has space (and
the hots for her), she moves in. So that she can be his in-house physical
therapist. Or something. Living together leads the two to believe that the
sparks between them might be more than just annoyance with each other.
Wow.
This book REALLY struggled with pacing issues. The first 2/3ds was just a
discussion of how much Tanner and Jordan really disliked each other with some
growth toward friendship. Then, suddenly, in the space of 10 or so pages,
they’re suddenly desperately in love and dying to be together even though
they’re geographically apart. And whatever happened with Star? She was set up
to be a much larger plot point and then just ended up as the psycho
ex-girlfriend.
If
this weren’t from an author I know could do better, I don’t feel like I’d be as
disappointed.

This was an interesting read as an ebook in that a lot of the punchlines would be on the next page-- an extra swipe and some processing time really disrupted some of the flow of the book. I would definitely get this as a paper book. Those who love Brian Gordon though will still enjoy this book.
In a previous Nugget book, we met Emily and Clay McCreedy. She's a famous cookbook author while he's a rancher. They've created a blended family with his two sons but Emily can't ever forget her daughter. Especially now that there are calls claiming that somebody has her. After seven years, can it possibly be true? And what does that mean? Not only for Emily but for her ex-husband and his new wife.
I love the Lumberjanes, their friendships, their propensity for exploring, and the tongue-in-cheek stories. This chapter book continues all of those properties created in the graphic novels. And I might have liked this book even just a teeny bit more because we got more story in this book. We've got the adventure (climbing the highest mountain; one that didn't seem to have been there before), the supernatural (the Cloud People), and the humor (the unicorns smell bad, really, really bad.)
It's the Christmas season but Vivian is not so merry. She's back at the family mansion for a command performance and has stumbled on a secret key in her father's study. It's a key that opens up a drawer that has been locked for eight years, since her father's death. In it, a mysterious envelope filled with cash. But it has disappeared when Viv next goes back to look for it. It's a mystery that Viv isn't sure she wants to explore, delving deep into the last few weeks of her father's life. Even though it is eight years past, this murder has repercussions that ripple into Viv's life today.
It wasn't Tessa Woodward's decision to move her family from Florida to Chicago. And it certainly wasn't her decision to move them a month after school started. Nor is she especially excited to live in a haunted house. And it's... really haunted. Like, not just a little haunted. The ghost is even communicating through her brother's ventriloquist's dummy. AS if that weren't creepy enough to start with.
Becca

high school. And that’s what Becca plans on doing during the latest contest at

bachelor, Calum Price.
