I can confirm that Jewel E Ann’s Memories of a Life was fanfreakingtastic!! Pieces of a Life was the calm before the Memories of a Life hurricane. It starts out with a bang and pretty much ramps up from there. It’s been a while since I felt I had to continually put down a book after every few pages, just to catch my breath. The hits just keep on coming. And I was so certain at one point that I knew what was coming next, but nope. I was wrong!! And Colten – I really really really loved Colten. If Colten comes in my front door, I’m shoving my husband out the back with a “Tough Luck, Mr. Duck” on his way out (which will make sense if you’ve read the book(s))!!
Eeeeeep! I LOVE when that happens. Nothing better than being sure you know where it’s going and then being surprised (especially if it makes sense too).
I just read a good HR by a new author. Convergence of Desire by Felicity Niven. The heroine is a brilliant mathematician, and she’s also on the autism spectrum. She wants a marriage of convenience so she can just get on with her math and not have to bother going to balls etc with her mother LOL. The second book in the series, Clandestine Passion. is due out on Sep 29th. Older woman-younger man. Intriguing. I love finding a decent new writer 😀
YAY!! Thank you for that, Jan! I love books with neurodivergent characters.
I may have went overboard with the end of summer Audible sale……. I may have bought 20 books to listen to. But I have the excuse that they were $5 or less!😳🤷♀️🤣
