Review:
The author Susan Hyatt book Bare tell you she has issues you and have issues.  She will be able to inspire readers with you stories, her passion and her ability to connect with the negative talk women struggle with.
If you are looking for something new this isn't your book.  She cover the same information others cover with self esteem, weight, appearance and motivation yourself to be the best you.
She has the ability to connect with woman though her personal struggles as well as stories of other woman who have struggled and found success.
I think this book will pic up speed with the attractive book cover.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Greenleaf Book Group Press for an advance copy of Todd Cahill You vs You.


Synopsis:
In You vs You, author Todd Cahill starts with a simple premise: As people strive for any improvement in their lives—whether it’s more income, a better relationship, a promotion, a bigger business, or a better body—the most important battles they will face are against themselves. People invite problems into their lives through poor choices, apathy, indecision, arrogance, anxiety, selfishness, and other traits they would rather not discuss but must be addressed.

In this valuable book, Cahill shares what he has learned about these battles that either keep people from success and significance or usher them to victory. As a life coach and leadership trainer, he has taught thousands of people these lessons, and many of them are now experiencing a level of personal achievement, relational abundance, and financial freedom they never thought possible. 

People often self-sabotage if they’re not mindful, wise, and willing. Cahill reinforces the idea that readers can choose today to fight against who they once were (or are) and become who they are made to be. You vs You is about that choice and the challenging, rewarding quest that ensues

Book Review: Slow Ride (Road to Love #2) by Lori Foster

Title: Slow Ride (Road to Love #2)

Author:  Lori Foster 

Stars: 4 Stars

Review:
The very first chance readers meet Ronnie and Jack its starts off with sexual attraction.  Right away it is about sex and while it is funny what happens next gives readers the book is going to be focused on the sex and sexual tension between the characters.  The story moved along with moments of adventures that turned right back into sexual banter and sex.  Slow ride follows the same model as the first book and while at times it could be interchangeable with the first book Driven to Distraction. Slow Ride is still its own story about Ronnie and Jack.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher HQN Books for the advance copy of Lori Foster Slow Ride 

Synopsis:
Ronnie Ashford needs a distraction. In the morning, she has to offer arrogant, conventional Jack Crews a job and convince him not to take it. She doesn’t need anyone’s help, thank you very much. But tonight is all about the tall, sexy stranger who just walked in the bar—and all the delicious trouble they could get into together. Too bad just as things are heating up between them, he whispers the three little words that destroy everything: “I’m Jack Crews.”

Jack is determined to connect with fiery Ronnie—in bed and out of it—but her terms are clear. If he takes the job, helping her acquire prized artifacts for her mysterious bosses, anything between them is strictly off-limits. Somehow he has to convince a woman who’s never felt like she belonged that she’s found her place—with him. And with the danger sparking hotter than the fire between them, it’s going to be one unforgettable trip

Book Review The Liar's Child by Carla Buckley Second Review

Title: The Liar's Child 

Author: Carla Buckley 

Stars: 4 stars

Review:

A thought provoking tale that was told from the view point of the various characters involved. I was somewhat dismayed by the lack of key background information, on what I presume to be, for the main character. The story clearly shows that while you may live or work next to an individual, for either a short or long span of time, you do not really know what internal conflicts are going on in their world. I enjoyed this book and would have preferred a more detailed ending but was satisfied with the results I built in my mind based on the information provided.

I have rated this book 4 stars.

I received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.  Thank you Frank.

Synopsis:

On the outskirts of North Carolina's Outer Banks sits the Paradise, an apartment complex where renters never stay long enough to call the place "home"--and neighbors are seldom neighborly. It's ideal for Sara Lennox, who moved there to escape a complicated past--and even her name--and rebuild a new life for herself under the radar. But Sara cannot help but notice the family next door, especially twelve-year-old Cassie and five-year-old Boon. She hears rumors and whispers of a recent tragedy slowly tearing them apart.

When a raging storm threatens then slams the coastal community, Sara makes a quick, bold decision: Rescue Cassie and Boon from the storm and their broken home--without telling a soul. But this seemingly noble act is not without consequences. Some lethal.
