Thank you to Atria books for a copy of Lake Season by Hannah McKinnon in exchange for an honest review.   I have read many novels, but none like this.   So when a story really grips me and compels me to finish then I know that I can’t want to share it with you!   The Lake Season makes a great beach read this summer! Synopsis: Nothing seems to be going right for Iris Standish.   She can’t get her family on the right track once her husband Paul tells her that he wants to separate.   Then an embarrassing episode takes place at her daughter’s soccer game.   What could be the solution?   How about a break to visit her family in the lake country in New Hampshire.   While she received a card from her sister asking to come up this summer, is there more to the story?   Will Leah truly tell her what has been going on as she prepares for her wedding?

My Thoughts: Stephanie Evanovich ...

Thank you to Susie Orman Schnall and SparkPress for sharing a copy of the novel in exchange for an honest review. Synopsis: Lucy Cooper is so much more than an assistant to Katherine Whitney, chief operating officer of Green Goddess & Company. When we meet Lucy, she is waiting in the green room of the Today Show as Katherine is being interviewed by Matt Lauer about her book “The Balance Project.’ Its premise being that it is entirely possible to be a successful executive, a fully engaged spouse, an involved parent and happy. This premise motivates Lucy along with countless other women who have read the book to strive for that elusive balance. Lucy’s plan was to use working with Katherine as a springboard to her own career as a marketing and content web designer. However, being Katherine’s assistant, hel...
