Here are the 8 books I read and reviewed for June. I might have read even more if I didn’t have two WIPs to edit and prepare for publication in July. I hope you enjoy reading these reviews.

Jjspina5.0 out of 5 stars A Touching and Memorable Story!Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020Verified PurchaseAn Equal Justice is a memorable and touching story about a young lawyer, David, who came from nothing but managed to obtain a prestigious position in a formidable law firm. What he always yearned for was to be rich. Be careful what you wish for.

David realizes soon how much money and power can corrupt. He wants no part of it but is thrown into this corruption first hand when he meets a homeless man, Benny, who changes his life but also puts David’s life into danger when he tries to help this man.

This story was deeply emotional and touched my heart and brought me to tears. The reader is taken through the life of this homeless man who is not what he seems. If we look at the homeless and just see a dirty and unkempt person we are wrong. They each have a story and a life before they became homeless if we only take the time to listen and learn about them and do what we possibly can to help.

The author tells a story that will change many lives through his own interaction with those who are homeless. He has founded a camp for the homeless and continues, along with his wife, to help those in need. He is a true humanitarian.

I already downloaded the sequel and look forward to reading it and once again being moved and inspired by this talented and kindly author.

This was a quick read and I couldn’t put it down! I highly recommend this book

This is Book 2 of the Atlee Pine Series. FBI Agent Atlee Pine is a troubled soul who never became whole again after her twin sister, Mercy, was kidnapped. She returns to her childhood home of Georgia but finds herself embroiled in more than she can handle when a serial killer comes to her town.

As she uncovers evidence she becomes more involved and feels compelled to solve the mystery of who is responsible for the murders and her sister’s kidnapping and possible murder. No matter what Atlee hears, she still feels that here sister is alive somewhere. She holds onto that belief that is the only thing keeping her sane.

Baldacci has delivered another winning book that will keep the reader engrossed until the end.

Tucker Visits His Grandmother is an adorable story about a little truck who dreams of being a big truck one day until he visits his grandmother. On his visit he soon realizes that it’s nice to be small because he can do things that big trucks can’t do. He can help his grandmother who is getting older and slower, and he can fit into places because of his small size. The best part of all is he is still small enough to get hugs.

Children will love this colorfully and well illustrated book that teaches them good family values of love, kindness, respect and caring for others. They will love little Tucker who is adorable and sweet. A fun story that parents will enjoy to read to and along with their children at bedtime and any time.

What the Wind Knows is a historical novel with a romance that travels back in time. It is full of the history and culture of Ireland.

When Anne Gallagher travels to Ireland to spread her grandfather’s ashes over his beloved country she is propelled back in time to when her grandfather was just a child. She is forced to live the life of her ancestor by the same name who was her grandfather’s mother since she cannot explain who she really is or how she arrived there. This, she doesn’t know herself.

The author has created a timeless classic that will be enjoyed for many years to come demonstrating the power of love that can transcend time and place. A beautiful story that will stay with you for a long time.

This book was part of a collection of 17 medical stories in Do No Harm

Beth Bowen and Zachary Logan are strong characters in this touching tale of two souls searching for love. Beth has an autistic son who needs constant attention and care and has no time to worry about anything else in her life.

Beth moves to Wisconsin where she can obtain help for her son in a vocational facility. When she meets a wounded warrior, Zach Logan, she falls head over heels for this handsome and viral man. She is unaware of his scars and what agony he had to endure. All she knows is he is kind and caring to her son while her former boyfriend was anything but.

This is a lovely story of two people who find each other and discover what was missing in their lives was love. The author relates the trials and tribulations of wounded warriors in this tender tale.

This is the second book in the Ash series. I did not read the first book but did not have any difficulty getting into the storyline.

Ash is a strong and resilient protagonist who commands the stage in this well developed tale of violence in society. She has a violent history in her past when she was attacked and raped which she is trying to forget.

When Ash arrives in Florida she finds herself being stalked by an unruly and troubled teen. She is fighting her own demons but finds the strength and courage to help a family in need after their oldest son is kidnapped. The author has created a well crafted story with twists and turns that keep the reader guessing until the satisfying ending.

The violence depicted in this story is frighteningly real and hits close to home with the troubled youth in our society today. This was an enjoyable read!

Thank you for your support of my fellow authors by looking over these books on Amazon. We authors appreciate your kind support. Reviews are important and appreciated.

Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!
