Goodnight Tweetheart is one of the best books I have read this year

Goodnight Tweetheart by Teresa Medeiros

 

 

 

OMG! What can I say about this amazing book. I loved the movie "You Got Mail" with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, and after reading the description for "Goodnight Tweetheart" I downloaded a copy to my kindle. I am SO happy that I did.

Abby Donovan is a first time author who's book went to the top of the NYT Best Sellers list, was a Oprah Book Club pick and almost won the Pulitzar. She has been working on her second book for so long that her publisher drops her. Stuck on Chapter 5, she fears that she was a one hit wonder. That is when her agent sets her up with a Twitter account so that she can converse with her readers, get her name out there, and possibly get new followers/stalkers/predators.

Mark Baynard is a English Professor at Ol' Miss on sabatical to see the world and write the next American Novel. By chance he meets Abby on Twitter and the two of them strike up funny, whitty, ROLFLMBO banter that keeps the reader hooked. From Mark teaching Abby "Twitter 101", to "Twitter Dates", to "Views from his iPhone and her Laptop", this story made me roll for the first 12 chapters. But Mark is hiding a HUGE secret that broke my heart, his heart and Abby's as well. I don't want to give it away, so there will be no spoilers, but I can promise you that if you hang on till the end, these "Tweetheart" will find a HEA.

I am so greatful that I picked up a copy of "Goodnight Tweetheart". I would recommend this book to all my friends, my family and anyone that just wants to curl up with a really really really GREAT book. I will be looking for more from this author.

Overview:

Just as she begins to write and live again, she discovers Mark is hiding a secret that could change both of their lives forever.

Review for Geek Girls Don't Date Dukes

Geek Girls Don't Date Dukes by Gina Lamm - Book 2 in the Geek Girls Series

Geek Girls Don't Date Dukes by Gina Lamm is the second book in the Geek Girls Series and is just as wonderful and funny as the first book.

 

 

"I don't have anything if I don't have you!

 

Leah Ramsey is a Theatrical Teacher and best friend of Jamie Marten (star of book one). After her ex asks her to be a bridesmaid in his upcoming wedding, Leah is beginning to think that she will never find the right man for her. All she wants is to find a man who will respect, protect, and love her, much like her best friend Jamie found in her new husband Micah (Mike) Axelby, Earl of Dunnington. When Jamie's "fairy godmother", Mrs. Knightsbridge shows up and offers Leah the chance to travel through the "magic mirror" of the 200 year old bureau to find her true love in the house hold of Duke of Granville, she jumps at the chance to find her one true love.

"'I love you Leah,' he whispered. 'I shall never love another as I love you.'

 

Avery Russell, valet of the Duke of Granville, is busy cleaning the Dukes boot and making sure that the new bureau recently purchased is setup to the Dukes specifications. Imagine his surprise when a beautiful angel falls through the mirror and into his arms stating he is her one true love. After speaking to Leah and knowing that she has set her heart on marrying the Duke, Avery will stop at nothing to help her achive her goal, even if it breaks his heart.

 

Avery knows that he is not good enough for Leah, she deserves so much more than he could ever offer her. But as Avery and Leah soon learn the heart wants what the heart wants. But when a secret from Avery's past puts Leah in danger, will Avery be able to keep her safe, or will he lose the "angel" who brings light into a life that has been darkened for too long?

"'Love me forever?' Her tears glittered like jewels on her reddened cheeks.
'As you wish,' he wispered as she disappeared.
 

I loved this story. I was lucky enough to read books one in this amazingly funny series, and book two is just a wonderful. I fell in love with Leah and Avery. All Leah wants is to find that one person that will be her soft place to land, that will love her with everything in him. Avery has not had any love or compassion since the death of his mother. Try as he might to make something of his life and move away from his past, it keeps coming back to haunt him at every turn. I love how these two accepted the things, one about the other, that neither thought anyone would be able to look past. It was just a love that was ment to be. I would highly recommend this book to all my friends.

Book overview:

 

All Leah wanted was a little gallantry. But in this day and age, chivalry was most definitely dead. If only there were a way to travel back in time and snag her very own duke...

Avery Russell was polishing some boots when a woman fell through the bedchamber mirror into his arms. All he could make out from her breathless babbling was some nonsense about "my one true love, Your Grace." Clearly the chit was mad if she couldn't tell a valet from a duke!

As much as Avery wanted to give in and give her a good tumble, he knew it wouldn't be proper. No, he'd take as long as necessary to convince Leah that sometimes a duke just won't do.
