Trust Me by Brenda Novak

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Four years ago Skye Kellerman was attacked in her home by Dr. Oliver Burke. Although her testimony sent him to jail for a long time, the trauma changed her life forever. Along with two friends, she started an organization called The Last Stand. An organization to help fellow crime victims.

Then, Skye learns that Burke is being released from jail early and she fears he is going to come after her seeking revenge. After all, she’s the one who sent him to prison. Detective David Willis is more than ready to protect Skye at all costs. Skye and David fell in love during the original investigation, but things didn’t work out. However, the attraction never died and is stronger than ever.

When Skye starts receiving threats, she knows Burke is behind them. David is determined to prove Burke’s guilt, but can Burke outfox them all?

This is the first book of Brenda Novak’s trilogy and it makes for an exciting, edge-of-your-seat type of story. Readers will feel as if they are experiencing Skye’s fears themselves. I loved reading this book and look forward to the next two books in the series.

Ebook Readers - Kindle vs. Nook

Okay....I've been adamant about not getting an ebook reader. I love the feel and smell of paper books. However, I literally have 10,000+ books in my TBR and my books are taking over the house. We are even considering relocating in a few years and my husband said it would cost too much to transport the books and they'd have to go (Yikes!!!!!!!) Of course he's right and I just let my "hobby" get out of hand. But, what's done is done :) I probably won't read all these books in my lifetime and I'd donate them to our local library. This isn't a done deal and we still may stay right where we are forever, but that's another story. So, I'm thinking I might be better off with an ebook reader and I wouldn't have to worry about storing 1000's of books. Also, we like to travel and taking one device would certainly be easier than taking 6-10 books on the plane.

Anyway, here's my question for discussion...do you have an Amazon Kindle or a Barnes & Noble Nook? Do you like them? Are they easy to use? Years ago I had a Sony reader which I never could get into. The screen was tiny and I never used it, but I got it for really cheap so I didn't care. I'm going to Barnes & Noble today to see if they have one in the store that I could hold and get the feel for.

I'd appreciate anyone who has either reader to let me know what their feelings are about either one. Do you like them? Are they easy to read? Do you have any complaints? Thank you!

This week's questions...

How do you feel about illustrations in your books? Graphs? Photos? Sketches?

My answer...

They don't bother me. If it fits in with the book, that's fine. Sometimes when I read Rita Mae Brown's Mrs. Murphy series there are sketches of the cats depicting a scene from the book. In that case, it's kind of cute. It's not necessary, but it's cute. I can't think of anything else that I read that has illustrations in books.
