Hot on the heels of her last release comes the highly anticipated 4th novel from the Searching Series by Jennifer Probst. One of my favorite books from Jennifer was Searching for Beautiful, which just published last month. I was so excited to be able to read this newest installment that was set up so wonderfully in the last book.

Searching for Always by Jennifer Probst
Series: Searching For (Book 4)
Publisher: Gallery Books (June 30, 2015)
ISBN-13: 978-147678011

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Jennifer Probst sparks a blissful mind-body connection as her “sexy, satisfying” (Kirkus Reviews) new series continues!

She’s an expert in helping others de-stress, but Arilyn Meadows is running on fumes. Along with her job counseling singles seeking soul mates at the Kinnections agency in Verily, New York, she’s a yoga teacher, animal shelter volunteer, anger management therapist, and helping hand to her beloved grandfather. No time to find Mr. Right—but after discovering her yogi boyfriend in a compromising asana, Arilyn would rather dog-sit for her honeymooning friend Kate than risk her heart on another downward dog. And when police officer Stone Petty—radiating masculinity and bad-boy attitude—is sent to her for mandatory lessons in cooling off when the job gets too hot, Arilyn vows to ignore his seductive glances and sexy grin. But there’s no halting their sizzling flirtation—a red-hot, high-speed chase that’s breaking all the limits.

My Thoughts: When it comes to hot cops, I am all over that type of storyline and this ones does not disappoint. We met Officer Stone Petty briefly in the last book and I just knew that he was going to star in this book. Thankfully, I was not wrong.

The author has a knack of creating amazing stories that suck you in hook, line and sinker and this one certainly does that. From friendly people and characters that you end up loving, to strong, deliciously hot men you really wish you knew, her sizzling and steamy stories have never disappointed.

Being the fourth book in a series can be intimidating as you think you are missing something should you miss a book or read out of order. But fear not! These books are written as a stand alone for the most part with plenty of references to other characters that come in from the other stories.

I just loved this book! The development of the characters and ability to meld together when you think there is no way in heck it is going to work is beautiful. Ms. Probst has a gift when it comes to humanizing her people, wrapping up a story and developing new storylines.

When I think of books about family saga’s I always think about my mother. She loved big fat books loaded with tons of family stories. So when this new release came up for review, it sounded like the perfect way to pass a weekend – curled up with my nose in a book, just like I have been since I was a kid.

A Place for Us by Harriet Evans
Publisher: Gallery Books (June 2, 2015)
ISBN-13: 978-1476786780

From international bestselling author Harriet Evans, an engrossing new novel about a woman who, on the eve of her eightieth birthday, decides to reveal a secret that may destroy her perfect family.

The day Martha Winter decided to tear apart her family began like any other day.

When Martha, a wife and mother of three, sits down one late summer’s morning to write out the invitations to her eightieth birthday celebration, she knows that what she is planning to reveal at the party could ruin the idyllic life she and her husband David have spent over fifty years building…

But she has to let her family know what she and David have sacrificed. She can’t live a lie any more.

The invitation goes out far and wide, calling her three children and their families back home to Winterfold, their rambling house in the heart of the English countryside. They are Bill, the doctor; Florence, the eccentric academic; and Daisy, the child who never fit in. As the story unfolds, each character reveals the secrets, joys, and tragedies they are wrestling with through the confines of the family. What will happen when Martha finally tells the truth?

My Thoughts: This book really pulled on my heartstrings. I am currently dealing with a loss in my family so reading this book hit really, really close to home. How do prepare to open up your life and share a big secret that you have been harboring for years?

This book is loaded with family members and sometimes it was hard to keep them straight. The Point of views that the story was written in changed often and while the stories about the family members were interesting, it could be a bit tough to follow as well. The family was not without their own trials and tribulations and this author has a beautiful talent for writing with amazing description. The issue was getting lost in the constant flipping back and forth. Just as I was getting into someones story, you were sent off to someone else. The momentum was lost for me.

The storyline is wonderful and the secret allows you to understand the family a bit more. This book is filled with rich writing and the author has created an in depth story that could have captured my interest more had it been more in depth about the parents and their history, rather than the children and grandchildren with all of their issues. But that, of course, is my opinion.

I did enjoy the writing as the author is very talented and I would not hesitate to read more from her. For lovers of big family sagas, this is an interesting story, just be prepared to pay full attention while reading for the maximum effect. Oh, and the home?? I want to move there!!
