Here’s what I received:
Breaking and Holding by Judy Fogarty for TLC Book Tour.
For Patricia Curren, the summer of 1978 begins with a devastating discovery: an unfamiliar black pearl button in the bed she shares with her controlling husband, Jack. Seeking the courage to end her desolate marriage, Patricia spends a quiet summer alone on beautiful Kiawah Island. But when she meets Terry Sloan, a collegiate tennis player trying to go pro, their physical attraction sparks a slow burn toward obsession.
Once Patricia and Terry share closely guarded secrets from their pasts, they want more than a summer together. But their love soon fractures, as a potential sponsor takes an unusually keen interest in Terry—both on court and off. And when single, career-driven Lynn Hewitt arrives, other secrets must surface, including the one Patricia has kept from Terry all summer.
An intimate portrait of the folly of the human heart, Breaking and Holding explores buried truths that are startlingly unveiled. What’s left in their wake has the power not only to shatter lives…but to redeem them.
Impertinent Strangers by P.O. Dixon, an Audible gift from the author.
An impertinent stranger is thrown into Fitzwilliam Darcy’s path and, even though he declares her tolerable but not handsome enough to tempt him, it is all he can do not to think of her.
Upon first making Mr. Darcy’s acquaintance, Miss Elizabeth Bennet is quite fascinated with him. Then she discovers that the gentleman is haughty and above his company, and she wants nothing to do with him.
Still, the prospect of spending time in each other’s company is beyond their power to resist. Will Darcy and Elizabeth stop denying the truth to themselves and find in the other what’s been missing in their lives?
What did you receive?
I do, too. Though I already know one that is.
I find the description of Breaking and Holding interesting although I steer away from books with unfaithful spouses. Impertinent Strangers sounds like a fun take on Darcy. Happy Reading!
Thanks, Martha.
Both these books look awesome! Have a great reading week.
Thanks, Laura
I’ve not come across either of these titles before Serena, but both sound engrossing. Enjoy.
I hope you check them out when the reviews come up.
Second mailbox to feature Breaking and Holding. I added it to my Goodreads To Read shelf 🙂
It sounds good, doesn’t it?
Can’t wait to see what you think of Dixon’s book. Happy reading!
Review coming soon!
I’m intrigued by the description of Breaking and Holding. Enjoy!
I couldn’t resist…I watched Tennis a lot during the Conners/McEnroe era
