Upcoming September Books

Is anyone else having trouble getting their reading fix in during the Olympics? I admit I adore the Olympics and have been pretty much watching them 24/7. However, I am quite aware that summer is on its last legs and soon it will be fall. I am looking forward to the routine that brings our household, with the boys back in school, but also am looking forward to curling up with my books on a cool fall night.

With that being said here is a short list of books that are due to be out in September that I am anticipating greatly!

Review: Fat Fridays by Judith Keim

I wasn't going to review this one on my blog because, frankly, I didn't like it. But then I decided that my blog shouldn't just be about books I like, it should be honest reviews about all books good and bad. The premise of the book was promising, the main character Sukie is rebuilding her life after her husband leaves her for another women. A common theme with women's fiction books. Sukie learns to rely on her friends, and makes new friends while she discovers who she is when she is alone. I love this type of story line and it was probably the best part of the book, but it was hard to read, rushed and all over the place. The characters, to me, just didn't seem real and I had trouble connecting to them. To me this is the cornerstone of a women't fiction novel and without it I just couldn't get into the book. This one had a lot of promise but didn't deliver. Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced readers copy in exchange for this honest review...

Review: Always a Cowboy by Linda Lael Miller

I have been enjoying this Carsons of Mustang Creek series. They are light, fun and entertaining reads - and really who doesn't love a cowboy story? Book two Always a Cowboy features Drake Carson, in charge of the family ranch. He is devoted to the animals and the land. He is all cowboy, all the time. His biggest challenge of late is managing the wild horses on his land, the stallion is running off with some of his other horses. Luce Hale is a graduate student intent on studying and saving the wild horse population. Sparks fly between Luce and Drake right away and the attraction is instant. They work together to come up with a plan that works for everyone and fall in love in the process. It's a solid story and a lot of fun. If you are a fan of sexy cowboys and western romances this one is for you! Start with book one - Once a Rancher . 3/5 stars on Goodreads.

Review: The Life She Wants - Robyn Carr

I discovered Robyn Carr just about four or five years ago and was delighted because she had a long series for me to catch up on! The Virgin River series was wonderful as was her Thunder Bay series. I was delighted when I learned that a new book was coming out and The Life She Wants didn't disappoint. Although this one was a little closer to women's fiction than some of the others it had all the elements I love in a good story including friendships, a romance and a happy ending. The main character Emma has some major rebounding to do in life after her husband's devious past comes to life. She moves home to pick up the pieces. Along the way she makes her peace with not only her disastrous marriage but her high school best friend Riley and ex-boyfriend Jock. She learns to live the life that makes her happy and to overcome the past while finding a new future as well. Thanks to the editors and Edelweiss for the Advanced Readers copy. 5/5 on Go...
