The world build, the main characters & all the supporting characters were well defined. I kept changing my mind as to who it was. The suspense with the serial killer was well done and kept you wondering who it could be. That is the only complaint I have about this story. What I mean by that is she tends to over describe the surroundings of virtually all her scenes. Ashley has a tendency to ramble in her books. But, I can't say it was not erotic.Ĭause, DANG, some of those scenes definitely had me waving the heat in my face and saying This story started with a bang and a lot of sass. It's weird, because I'm more of a paranormal girl and most of her books are contemporary. I am so addicted to Kristen Ashley books.

I have read one or two series of this author but there was too much melodramatic content. While attempting to navigate the low point, Sydney meets her mysterious neighbor and guitar player Ridge and his roommates. This book may be for you even if you didnt appreciate other Colleen Hoover books. ![]() Maybe Someday, the first of Hoover’s Maybe Someday series centers on 20-something Sydney whose life takes a turn after learning her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend and roommate.

The characters throughout the stories are interesting and very unique, and Lee does a good job of differentiating between narrative and quotation, giving appropriate accents so you can tell the characters apart, or at least the good guys apart from the Germans. While the Allies were securing their tenuous beachhead at Normandy, the Germans kept the bulk of their forces north of the Seine River, expecting the invasion’s main attack to arrive later in the Pas de Calais region. Read by John Lee, the 10-CD, 12-and-a-half-hour audiobook creates a very interesting narrative, particularly for anyone that happens to be a fan of history. Double Cross The True Story of the D-Day Spies By Ben Macintyre. ![]() Sample Book Insights: 1 Dusko Popov and Johann Johnny Jebsen were friends who met in 1936.
