Katie In Waiting by Erynn Mangum Goodreads Summary: Katie McCoy has spent her whole life waiting for the right guy and he isn't coming. After relocating to Carrington Springs, Missouri, Katie finds herself getting more and more frustrated. Can't God see that she's trying her best to meet someone? Doesn't He care that she's lonely? What is she doing that is making Him not bless her with this? With two new friends, Eliza and Ashten, by her side, Katie starts to realize that maybe God has bigger plans for her life than she could have ever imagined. My Review: 5/5 Stars Erynn does it again!!! I honestly don't think I have read a book of hers I didn't like, but this one was really good. Probably because I am pretty sure I am Katie in every possible aspect. And here is a quote to prove it: "Here's the thing: I've never had anyone help me with my coat before. So, I basically end up punching him in the eye while I'm trying to get my sleeve o...

For Allison Dennis, all it takes is 180 seconds… After a life spent bouncing from one foster home to the next, Allison is determined to keep others at arm’s length. Adopted at sixteen, she knows better than to believe in the permanence of anything.

Today's Can't Wait Wednesday is Lie to Me by J.T. Ellison. Expected Publication: September 5,     2017 I randomly came across this book the other day, and now I can't stop thinking about it. It has been compared to several other Thrillers such as "Gone Girl", so I'm excited to see how it stacks up.  Here is the Goodreads Summary: They built a life on lies  Sutton and Ethan Montclair’s idyllic life is not as it appears. The couple seems made for each other, but the truth is ugly. Consumed by professional and personal betrayals and financial woes, the two both love and hate each other.

Someone Else's Fairytale by E.M. Tippetts Goodreads Summary: Jason Vanderholt, Hollywood's hottest actor, falls head over heels for everygirl, Chloe Winters, who hasn't gotten around to watching most of his movies. It's the ideal fairytale... for most people. The last thing Chloe needs is public attention. It brings back dangers from the past that she's worked her whole life to escape. My Review: 4/5 Stars This is the first book in Tippetts Someone Else's Fairytale Series and it ended so well, I honestly don't want to read the next one.  I'm always am a sucker for Hollywood star falls for hometown girl stories, because lets be honest that is my fairytale too!  But this one wasn't just another story like that. It had a lot of scary and traumatic events that were still bothering Chloe, and still impacting her day to day live.
