Monday Moments - It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

 It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover is an emotional read. I found it easy to skim and I could predict the ending. I did not see the movie that was popular in theaters this summer. 

Lily grew up in an abusive household. She was happy to leave Maine, graduate from college, and move  to Boston to start her own business. It's almost too  good  to be true to find a spark with a neurosurgeon, Ryle Kincaid. His sister becomes a new best friend. Life is great.    BUT...(play ominous music)

Her  first love, Atlas Corrigan, is in Boston - a chef in a hot new restaurant. Lily and Atlas  have history. Guess who's supremely jealous?  Guess who lashes out easily? 

back blurb:  Sometimes the one who loves you is the one that hurts you the most. 

Hoover hands tough situations well and this is a worthwhile story under a lovely gloss. 

Finally Friday - Let's Be a Tad Naughty

 New Year's weekend ahead. Oh, let's be a tad bawdy, naughty, and romantic?  Verity by Colleen Hoover is quite different from my general genre of reading. My friend lent me the book saying, " It's a tad 'dirty'". Blush. 

Clever book with twists I did not expect. Kudos to the author. 

Lowen Ashleigh gets the job of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford has hired her  to complete the remaining books in  a successful series. His wife, Verity, is injured and unable to finish her books. Hmmm

Lowen plows through the chaotic office.  She uncovers an unfinished autobiography. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions.  Hmmm. 

Lowen and Jeremy - oh, there's chemistry.  Verity, the wife, is bedridden.  Hmmmm

Hmm.  Sex.  Hot  sex and then the writing, the job, the loyalty, the horrifying truth. 

Very clever read. I kept turning the pages. Surprises galore.   Enjoy.
