J.T. GEISSINGER SALE!!
Melt for You (Slow Burn #2)
Mharis: I have a few ugly-duckling stories that I love… Melt For You by JT Geissinger.
Cheryl: Just finished Melt For You. A slow-burn, but I loved it. Scottish rugby player and quirky American. Funny, low-angst with sigh out loud moments.
Leslie M: This starts romcom-ish but also has serious elements. The h is “curvy” and has self esteem/body image issues stemming from her childhood. The H is a Scottish rugby player with tragic past. I adored the h’s sense of humor and the H is to die for!!! Make sure to read acknowledgements at the end.
LinC: The narrator is fantastic! One of my favorite audiobooks.

The Good Lie
MONY LOVED IT!!
MONY: The Good Lie is very clever and not gory. If you read mystery/crime, it’s a good one.
Very fast and fantastic read. Holds your attention, good writing & characters. …You don’t know who dunn it for most of the book, giving us only very subtle clue crumbs.
This is story about a serial killer with six teens already murdered. Psychiatrist Gwen Moore, expert on killers, gets drawn into an analysis of the case by attorney Robert Kavin, one of the fathers whose son was killed. Romance, good writing & well developed characters. I think I held my breath the whole time cause it was always moving so fast & my eyes were glued to the page. Very clever…not sure if all the ends were tied up. 5⭐
