What’s the last book you were really EXCITED to read?
And, were you excited about it in advance? Or did the excitement bloom while you were reading it?
Are there any books you’re excited about right NOW?
I love this question and I have two answer really one YA book and another one. So let’s get down to it. Here are the books:
Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
New York to Dallas by J.D. Robb
I was super excited to read Lola and the Boy Next Door because I loved Anna and the French Kiss (click for review), it was just a great book – not just well written but grabbed and kept my attention. Honestly, I couldn’t put it down. While I really enjoyed Lola and the Boy Next Door, it did not top Anna and the French Kiss for me. I know a lot of people loved Lola more but not me. The writing style and the way the story unfolds is wonderful!
The other books that I was super excited about is New York to Dallas. This is the first book in this series that does not include In Death in the title. I love this exploration of relationships. Rourke and Eve are just amazing! Each book they learn more about how they work together in their relationship and with others. I was CRAZY excited to get an ARC of this and I am reading it right now. It has been a busy week so I have not had a much time as I would like to read it.
What about you?

Synopsis
My Review
This is by far one of my favorite series. And it has proved to be true with this book as well. I love how this book starts – in Ireland with Roarke’s family. We get to see the softer side of Eve by seeing her surprise Roarke with a children’s park she has build and dedicated to his mother. What a great way to start the book. We also find that murder seems to follow Eve everywhere as she helps a green officer in Ireland solve a murder while she is there. While it isn’t a tough case and is solved quickly she still helps him through the process.
After arriving back in New York City, she tags a murder almost immediately. It seems to be a most unusual case of a limo driver shot with a crossbow. Fairly quickly there is a second murder of one of the best escort is NYC and she is shot through the heart with a bayonet. Eve quickly realized that the murders are linked. I love that Eve always seems to be one step ahead when she working a case. As always there is a creative ending to the book that I did not see coming. You will have to read to find out.
