Pudge and Prejudice by A.K. Pittman

 

I love retellings of Pride and Prejudice! This one was pretty cute. Set in the 80's with high school students it was very entertaining and I totally enjoyed all of the nods to the original! If you enjoy a good clean retelling of a timeless classic then I highly recommend you check this one out. It is definitely a blast from the past while staying true to the original story Pride and Prejudice which happens to be one of my favorite books of all times. 

Frontier Follies by Ree Drummond

 

Such a fun book! I laughed and I got teary a couple of times. I've always been a fan of Ree Drummond and her Pioneer Woman cookbooks. Love reading about her life and her family. This was a quick, fun read that entertains as well as makes the reader see the value of family. I enjoyed this very much.

Active Defense by Lynette Eason

 

Heather has come back from a harrowing experience in the desert. As a doctor she has seen many things. Now she is back home and thinks that she has picked up a stalker. Having grown up in the foster care system Heather has always relied on herself to get through tough situations. Now she is having to rely on friends to keep her safe. 

Travis is one of the friends that is trying to keep Heather safe. But now her stalker seems to have escalated and it has become even more difficult keeping Heather safe. 

Well this one was exciting! And also had some pretty interesting twists as to the who-done-it! I always enjoy reading Lynette Eason's stories and this series is proving why she is one of my favorite authors to read. ACTIVE DEFENSE kept me turning the pages, kept me interested, had me stress-biting my nails in some parts and raising my eyebrows in others! I loved Heather and Travis as a couple. Heather was a strong female character, but also knew when she needed to accept help from friends. An exciting addition to the series that I highly recommend!

Night Hawk (Nighthawk Security Book 3) by Susan Sleeman

 

Clay Byrd finds a mysterious note on his windshield for him to show up at an abandoned school. Once there Clay hears a woman screaming. Once he finds her he realizes that it is Toni, an FBI agent and she is terrified! Why have they been called to the same place and what does this incident have to do with an op that they were on together that ended up with Toni's father dead? 

Okay ya'll, I am not going to lie, this one was a tough one for me to read! Not because it was bad in any way, shape or form. The subject matter in this one was a tough one and just happens to be one of those things that has the capacity to make me ill when reading. BUT, that being said, it was an exciting read as always with Susan Sleeman's books! I loved Clay and all of his brothers on the Nighthawk team. He was caring to the point of overdoing it, but when you fall for someone you kind of can't help that! Toni was a strong woman and knew when to accept help yet also knew when to exert her will to get things moving along and to be included in the team. The suspense was nail-biting and whew, quite an evil villain reveal at the end! Once again, I'm loving the Nighthawk series and look forward to the next installment. And how convenient that their mother named them alphabetically so they are easy to remember! Drake is up next!
