Her Royal Payne by Shana Galen - Kindle edition

Her Royal Payne

by Shana Galen

★★★★★

Her Royal Payne is the next chapter in the

Survivors Series by Shana Galen. Rowden Payne

has written his own lifes path as he wanted to live it. 

"Some of them had bet against him of course, 

but most of them were smart enough to bet 

against the German. Rowden wasn't known

as The Royal Payne for nothing."

As things had gone for him, he knew he would 

never marry again. But of course, no historical,

romance writer worth her salt could let that stand. 

Rowden had the German on the ropes. 

"Even as his mind screamed, 'No!, his head turned 

to glance...."

Of course, he should not have turned his head. 

The most beautiful eyes of hazel were staring 

back at him.

And this is how a beautiful love story begins. 

I have enjoyed every chapter so far of the

Survivors Series. Have you ever heard the saying,

"Every story you have ever read was written

with the same 25 letters." 

So how can every story in this series be completely

its own? But Shana Galen manages that. She 

writes these characters that you feel close to. 

You feel like you know them. They are imperfect

and honorable. I hope you will find your way to

The Survivors. You do not need to start from the

beginning of the series. Each hero, each heroine 

have their own stories. And they are all 

wonderful stories.

Rainy Day Friends by Jill Shalvis - Audio version

Rainy Day Friends

by Jill Shalvis

☆☆☆☆☆

And now we have another Jill Shalvis story.

Because I have never had a moment in one

of her stories, that I even considered sitting it

aside. There are very few writers I can say that

about. There are always tears and laughs. Always

real life challenges. Along with real life feelings.

 Rainy Day Friends is filled with the Capriotti family.

If your life is lucky at all, you have surely come across

a family like this. People that are generous and nosy

and loving and hard working and dependable. They

will share anything with anybody. They hold no

judgment to anyone.

This is where Lanie and River find themselves landing

while in the middle of the worst moments of their lives.

Of course it couldn't be a better place to land. 

River is pregnant and so very alone. She is young and

used to living in a car. Lanie is a young widow and she

has been granted surprise after surprise since her

husbands passing. Strangely, the two of them find

themselves connected. In so many ways. 

Jill Shalvis can write a story, people and places that

burrow right into your heart. Into your real life. You

might find yourself looking out your front door to see

if the world outside has changed. Karen White is the

narrator for a lot of Jill Shalvis books. She does

a nice job. I hope you will enjoy Rainy Day Friends.

 

I borrowed this audio book from my library.
