Life After Yes {Teaser Tuesday}

But even as I say these words, I know I don’t mean them. Again I know better. There aren’t any accidents. For the most part, we do things intentionally, don’t we?  Life After Yes by Aidan Donnelley Rowley

The Familiar Stranger {Teaser Tuesday}

Since I’ve been catching up on a book I’ve longed to read for some time now, I decided to link up with Miz B at Should Be Reading for Teaser Tuesday. 
My Teaser:

“What?” she whispered, leaning toward me. “That you feel more loved by a man who’s just getting to know you than by the man who lived with you for years.”

    The Familiar Stranger by Christina Berry 

You can join the fun by picking up your latest read and turning to a random page. Share two sentences from that  page. Make sure not to share any spoilers. 

Teaser Tuesday {Six-Liter Club}

The scene was all too typical-a madhouse of activity with crying children, sleeping drunks, and a crowd of brothers standing at the foot of a stretcher holding a white-haired matriarch struggling to get her breath. The sweet-sour smell of bloody vomit and clinical antiseptic mingled as a familiar odor and prompted me to quicken my pace. pg. 55 Six-Liter Club by Harry Kraus

My Review


Harry Kraus’ Six-Liter Club is the latest book I’ve read this year.  I was lucky enough to win this book via Kat’s blog Heart to Heart. It is one of the best books I’ve read this year. Kraus weaves a tale of suspense, romance, self rediscovery, ambition, and faith in this medical thriller. Camille, an orphan, has worked hard to excel in academics and has become the first African American woman trauma surgeon at the Medical College of Virginia. Everything seems to be falling into place-a new position, a promising new love interest and a new member of the distinguished six-liter club.  Amid the male dominated surgical culture, Camille feels the pressure to conform to the good old boys way of doing things, while being compelled to set her on own mark. At the height of her success, memories from her childhood in the Conga begin to haunt her threatening to ruin everything she’s worked so hard to achieve.


Anxiously anticipating what would happen next, I found myself staying up late into the night reading . As I came to the end of the book, I lingered on the pages sadden that the novel was coming to a close. This was my first time reading any of the author’s work and I was well pleased. I highly recommend this book-it will not disappoint.

Sins of the Mother

I’m participating in TEASER TUESDAYS, a book meme hosted by Should be Reading.


“Still as she carried the bouquet to her car, her plan was…to stay with the plan. But then she got behind the steering wheel, and her BMW headed west instead of east; before she could figure it out, she was in front of the condominium where she’d spent four years of immense ecstasy and one year of total agony.”
                                                  Sins of the Mother by Victoria Christopher Murray

MY TEASER

"Each piece of jewelry felt like chains of bondage, and the clothing he had slipped to her made her burn in shame. Never had she dressed so provactively, but the garments he asked her to wear for him turned her into a Jezebel."  A Stray Drop of Blood by Roseanna M. White, pg 76
