His Forever Family

Sarah M. Anderson

Harlequin: 2016, 256 pages

Reviewed by Jessie Park

Billionaire Marcus Warren and his executive assistant Liberty Reese were on their usual morning run, reviewing the day's schedule, when they find an abandoned newborn.  Suddenly seeing the maternal side of Liberty, Marcus beings to realize that Liberty is more than just his assistant but someone honest, someone who he could have a real future with, and not someone looking just for his money.  But Liberty doesn't want to get involved, she's worked too hard and too long to give up her security.  She wants her past to stay in the past but it gets more and more difficult to resist him.  His Forever Family is a quick read and it does contain some sexual content.  Readers should be aware that it is a Harlequin romance so the cliches will be abundant.

Happily Ever Ninja (Knitting in the City #5)

Penny Reid

Caped Publishing: 2016, 376 pages

Reviewed by Jessie Park

Penny Reid's Knitting in the City series is set in present day Chicago and revolves around seven women who meet once a week to drink wine and knit.  Each book in the series focuses on a particular member of the group.  They are can be read as a stand alone but there are little novellas that are recommended, especially #4.75 Ninja at First Sight which tells the backstory of our two main characters.

Fiona and Greg have been married for fourteen years and have two young children.  Husband Greg is often away months at a time for work and Fiona manages...perhaps a little too well.  She's bogging herself down but never shows any weakness and Greg feels like he's not needed when she feels the exact opposite.  When an emergency strikes the family and pushes Fiona into a more leading role, Greg is unsure of how to handle it.  This is a story about how difficult marriage can be, even if both people are still desperately in love with one another.  While that sounds dramatic, the book is actually quite humorous and a bit action-y as well!
