Lesson: Hospitals seem to be the best place to get emotional and make changes in your relationship, but it might take multiple trips to the hospital.
Main Thought: It wasn’t what I was expecting. It was okay, but the drama between them did seem to drag at times.

Will Heath change his mind about Yaz? Will Yaz be able to forgive Heath for his mistakes?

Lesson: If you want to escape from your life, make sure the man that saves you had an inheritance and is a famous millionaire.
Main Thought: It was slow moving for the first half of the book, then it got really good. However, towards the end there was a lot of repetition. I definitely want to read Knight’s story when it comes out. I also don’t like a woman that lies about a man forcing himself on her which could be why it took me a while to get into the book.

Solene grew up in a Mafia family and Declan saved her twice, once from a group of men and then again from an arranged marriage. Declan becomes a famous actor and promises to take her to LA and introduce her to people that can help her start a singing career. Declan wants revenge on Solene for everything that happened to him because of her choices. Once Declan gets Solene to LA and she’s living in his house, he has trouble resisting her. Both Declan and Solene value their careers and put them ahead of their relationships. Will they be able to figure out what they want before it’s too late?

Lesson: Just make sure that your father owns a hockey team so that he can get you a job and reintroduce you to the man you loved years ago.
Main Thought: I’m personally not a fan of second chance books where they pretend they no longer want to be together. It was also predictable with minimal drama.

Matt is recovering for an injury and is doing work with the team’s foundation. Honey is the team owner’s daughter and was just hired to work for the foundation. While everyone knows about Honey’s wild past, no one knows that Matt was part of it, except her father.

Main Thought: I read the book for the Kindle challenge, but it was very interesting. It is rare to read about life from the female perspective. It started off a little bit slow, but picked up.

Louisa Little is the mother of Malcolm X. She focused on teaching her children about self-sufficiency. Berdis Jones is the mother of James Baldwin. She focused on teaching her children about love and acceptance for all. Alberta Williams is the mother of Martin Luther King Jr. She focused on teaching her children about social justice. Even though their lives were so different, all three women supported their families and helped shape their sons into the men they became.
