Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James

 


I loved the three books. The story was well written. The main characters were Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele, Kate, the Grey's and Mrs. Robinson. You need to get past the language and the sex and look at the story. It is beautifully written and I am reading it for the second time.

Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor' Easter by Lisa Patton


A delightful ladies book and I would rate it a 5. When you love your husband as much as Leelee Satterfield did, you would follow him to the end of the earth in order to make him happy. Even if it takes you away from your family and friends in your beloved Memphis, Tennessee and relocates you to a small town in Vermont to run a business neither of them know about. This is Leelee's story of how she went from being totally dependent on her husband to becoming an independent single parent and the owner of a B&B in Vermont. 

This warm and wonderful book is humorous, sad at times and filled with Southern charm and Yankee wit. Leelee could be an inspiration to many of us. The characters are quite colorful and realistic. There is much to learn about the Vermont seasons and how the people survive them. Waiting to read the sequel. 

Rated 5 out of 5

Obsession by Karen Robards

I give this book 5 stars as it is truly a real thriller. 

Katherine Lawrence finds herself and her friend Lisa bound and gagged on her kitchen floor while two gunman search her house. It is a mystery to Katherine as to what they are looking for and no explanation by these men is forthcoming. This is only the beginning of her nightmare and she only knows she must escape and trust no one as both the good and bad guys are after her. In fact, Katherine doesn't know who she really is for when she looks in the mirror she doesn't recognize herself and she has flashbacks of being another person. 

 A fast paced suspenseful story that will keep you fully engrossed from beginning to end.
