Rush by Shae Ross
I really enjoyed reading this book and even though it didn't get the full 5/5 star rating it still made a lasting impression.

9.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25101535-the-aftermath
The Aftermath (The Hurricane, #2) by R.J. Prescott
An epic read and the only reason why it wasn't higher on the list was that the first one in this series was even better.

Miracle on 5th Avenue (From Manhattan with Love, #3)

This one could've been even closer to the top of the pile this year but the ending was a bit too fast and even though I could forgive it for that, it was the only way I could order my books as I have loved each and everyone on this list.

Books of November

Another slow reading month but I did slightly better than last month. I've also been quite on my blog recently but I do hope that once Christmas and the New Year is over I will be able to put more time in reading as well as blogging.

Here's what I read in November:

  • The Accidental Engagement (Chance Romance, #1) by Maggie Dallen - 2.5/5
  • For Better or Worse (The Wedding Belles, #2) by Lauren Layne - 5/5
  • Royal Scandal (Royals in Exile, #1) by Marquita Valentine - 4/5

and the book of the month goes too...

For Better or Worse (The Wedding Belles, #2)
by Lauren Layne

Synopsis:

Sex and the City meets The Wedding Planner in For Better Or Worse, the second sexy contemporary romance in Lauren Layne's The Wedding Belles series. Will a budding wedding planner and her bad boy neighbor stop banging heads and start hearing wedding bells? For fans of Jill Shalvis, Julie James and Rachel Gibson.

When small-town girl Heather Fowler finally gets promoted from assistant to
actual wedding planner, she's determined to make it as one of Manhattan's elite Wedding Belles. Unfortunately, her first client demands an opulent black-tie affair at the Plaza...in five months' time. Heather's days quickly become a flurry of cake tastings, dress-fittings, RSVP cards, and bridal tantrums. But what she's really losing sleep over is the live music blaring from her playboy neighbor's apartment all night.

Five years ago, Josh Tanner was an up-and-comer on Wall Street, complete with the penthouse and the migraines. But a grim cancer diagnosis made him realize there is more to life than the corner office. If only he could convince his pretty, workaholic neighbor to let loose, too. As Heather lets down her guard, Josh is surprised when he starts falling for the sweet, vulnerable woman hiding beneath those power suits. Soon, it's Heather's turn to convince Josh to take the biggest risk of all: love

I had to buy this in hardback as soon as I saw it as I have enjoyed Meyer's books in the past so I'm hoping this one will be just as good.
