His Special Angel (Mercy, Inc. #2) by Lynne Marshall
This story starts out with a table of contents then the story.
Mallory has raised her daughter and she's getting ready to attend the college of her choice, on the east coast which is very expensive.
Mallory had been working longer shifts, putting money away but nothing near what she needs even with the scholarships her daughter had won.
She's heading to meet with the head doctor who used to do rounds and was such fun but now he's not so fun with all the paperwork he has to do and others have noticed the change.
... She gets him to ER where they run tests on him and she heads back to work.
After his surgery she is given the chance to take care of him on weekends for extra money.
He had written up a special document that prohibits the use after a time and to allow him to die. She wills him to live and we then learn more about him, his homelife, his ex wife and his upcoming travel.
She listens and is able to learn more about his sudden illness and with his help they discover what it could be and JT, the patient questions his doctor about it.
So much comes into play, so unpredictable and he has a fight on his hands. More that just one as he alienates his special nurse.
Great story and as in the first book I learned about some many surgical procedures that really make this a great read. I see everything done on medical dramas on TV and they had not made sense to me.
Loved it for so many reasons: learned new words, love hearing about caring people, love careers where one uses their hands and brains, family life and just caring.
Love the unexpected ending with the help of her daughter, so cool! Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
About the author is listed at the end.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
Dancer by Jenna Rose
Story starts out with Brock and he's the mob boss and he's noticed a girl and tries to entice her into having a meal with him but she has other plans and heads home.
Story also follows Hope who is now living under Darryl's hand and has to dance to earn money that she owes him because her now dead parents were given money from him and now it's her debt.
Mobsters all turn up on her first night and Brock sees her and pays off her debt and takes her home. He has no idea what her last name even is....til his second in command tells him.
Very erotic detailed sex scenes. Like story line especially when she learns of the truth and she thinks he had killed her parents. She runs and does learn the real truth at the courthouse...
Thought this would be so much more about dancing-either in ballet or a troupe.
Love how some of her dreams come true. Other works by the author are listed at the back.
The Worst Christmas Book in the Whole Entire World (Entire World Books 3) by Joey Acker
Was hoping to be taken away from the madness we are living in but found it took me to another madness.
Was kind of funny cuz I kept waiting for something to happen and there is no magic in this book.
Very dull but kept my attention to the end. It's everything that is not Christmas related, mixed up locations and everything else.

My Grandpa's Secret: Book 1 A Child's Freedom by Gracie Jayne
Was hoping for a feel good story but that's not this book.
This is about a boy who's taken away from his foster home to go live with his brothers and grandparents.
Til they are officially adopted everything is fine then the abuse occurs.
To save his brothers he goes through years of abuse starting at age 7, anal penetration and other sexual disgusting acts.
There are other books in the series but I felt I had read enough of the very descriptive graphic details.
Story could've been told with no graphic events but the author chose otherwise.
I won't be reading the rest of the series.
