Helping him on a daddy-daughter road trip is her last task before he’ll accept her two weeks’ notice and she can be free of the infuriating man she’s had a crush on for longer than she’d admit.Īiden’s carefully ordered life has never been so disorganized, and he’s suddenly tempted by the things he thought he could never have. The only person more clueless about kids is her boss. To top it all off, the only constant woman in his life, his executive assistant, has given notice just when he needs her help to survive his newfound fatherhood.Ĭhelsea Houston is an executive assistant, not a nanny.

Lemme tell you what… nothing says “write something sexy” like a pug staring at you. As you can see here, she thinks they were made for pugs. She refuses to acknowledge that she doesn’t belong on tables. My big black lab was a rescue, but the pug? She was more of a rehome.

I hadn’t told my publisher I was back to work, as I didn’t think it was a novel,” she insists. Except that once she had picked herself up off the floor of rejection, she couldn’t help starting something fresh, in secret, rising before dawn to hammer out some words before starting her day job as a freelance journalist, not to mention mother to two teenage daughters. Her previous attempt at a literary novel had bombed she couldn’t face even showing her manuscript to her publisher, and she’d sworn off fiction for ever. Meg Mason didn’t write Sorrow and Bliss for anyone to read. Heartburn is a roller coaster of love, betrayal, loss and most satisfyingly revenge. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel is a cookery writer, and between trying to win Mark back and wishing him dead, she offers us some of her favourite recipes. The fact that this woman has a 'neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb' is no consolation. Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel discovers that her husband is in love with another woman.

On a rare night out, she meets a man in a bar and sparks fly. Louise is a single mom, a secretary, stuck in a modern-day rut. This book sounded interesting-ish, but then again, many psychological thrillers sound similar so I wasn’t exactly convinced that this was going to be a new and different book than any of the other psychological thrillers out there right now.īut I decided to listen to it on Audible and hoped for the best. The first book we selected for June we all read in like two days so we decided that we would pick a second book and this was it. My murder mystery book club decided to read two books this month. What I didn’t count on was my best friend’s boyfriend practically throwing a sexy tattoo artist at me to keep me busy. Confused and unsure what to do next I called up my best friend for a place to stay. But after a traumatic event I couldn’t make myself re-enlist when my contract was up. I thought I’d stay in the marines for life, that was the plan. “What if I told you, you’d never have to choose?”~Zade When life starts getting complicated and Nash speaks the words I never thought I’d hear, the only thing I want is for us to find a way to make this work…together.

They discuss the Covid lockdown policies, the state of the literary arts, the new gender movement, and the differences between America and the U.K. Lionel is perhaps the consummate “thought criminal,” and in this conversation, she talks with Meghan about how she came to assume this mantle (hint: she supported Brexit) and what frustrates her most about culture war discourse. A collection of her writings from outlets like The Spectator, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal, the book also contains some previously unpublished pieces a well as speeches and other public addresses, including a eulogy for her brother.
