What I'm Reading:

Still reading "Wyatt".


Blurb:

He’s lost her twice…he’s not going to lose her again...

NHL Hockey Goalie Wyatt Marshall has everything--fame, money and a thriving career. But he’s hiding the two things that matter most...a career-ending injury, and his broken heart. He’s been in love with Coco Stanley since she walked into his life at age fourteen, a foster child for the Marshall family. She stole his heart years later, when, after a secret tryst, she returned to her home country of Russia. But she won’t let him back into her life—and he can’t figure out why.

She’s harboring a secret that could cost lives...

Coco Stanley is tired of living her life undercover. Or at least, with an assumed name, always pretending to be someone she’s not. And that’s not the only secret she’s harboring. If Wyatt discovers the real reason she left him, it might just destroy him. She’s resigned herself to loving him from afar...

But when he discovers she’s in danger...

Wyatt is horrified when he learns Coco has been shot and left in Russia, her fate unknown. There is nothing—nothing—that will stop him from finding her. So what if he’s not one of his super-heroic brothers, not a Ranger, not a SEAL...Wyatt is a hockey goalie, a special kind of crazy brave. Except, is he brave enough to face the secret Coco is keeping, or will it destroy everything he’s hoped for?

What will it cost them to save her?

What Wyatt and Coco don’t know is that revenge is stalking her and bringing her home just might cost them their long-awaited happy ending.


First Lines:

Wyatt Marshall hadn't come all the way to Russia only to fail.


56%/Page 56

She was about to knock when room service showed up, a cart roughly the size of a hockey rink filled with champagne and chips and dip and pizza which said, yes, there were probably Americans inside.

What I'll (Probably) Read Next:


Blurb:

Lauren Dalton’s world shattered the day her father died. It shattered again when she found a box of old keepsakes commemorating a life she’d never even known he lead.

Heartbroken but determined, she accepts a seasonal job in rural Alaska to look after an injured musher’s dogs while searching for the truth about her father’s hidden past. But her cantankerous new boss comes with dangerous secrets of his own.

When a fire ravages part of the property, all will be revealed—and four-thousand miles away from the only home she’s ever known, Lauren will discover just how quickly everything can change.

What I Was Reading 5 Years Ago:

Originally a feature called Last Year I Was Reading created by Maria from ReadingMaria
Literary Feline liked it enough to continue, but has tweaked it
 to feature Five Years Ago I Was Reading.

Q.  What upcoming books are you intrigued to read in 2021? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer) 

A. I'd just like to read!  Of course, I have favorite authors such as Susan May Warren, Colleen Coble, Sarah Adams, etc.  I mostly would like to read the books I have downloaded off of Kindle Unlimited so I can download more:)

Bookishly Yours,

    Today on my blog, I'm sharing the first line from Active Defense by Lynette Eason: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2021/01/15/first-line-friday-170/. I'm currently in the middle of a chapter so I'll share a line randomly from there here. "Travis wanted to pounce but waited."

  11. Wyatt was such a good book! Happy Friday! My first Line is from "Crazy for You" by Susan May Warren and Michelle Sass Aleckson:

  13. I'm hoping to make better use of my Kindle Unlimited this year. Like yourself, I just want to read any number of books! But I have set my target to 104 (2 books a week) as that should be more than doable... (She says when she hasn't read anything this year yet!)

    1. I actually am on my 2nd book of the year! whoohoo. 2 books a week used to be nothing for me. Now I'm doing good to read 1 every 2 weeks!

  14. I hope you enjoy all of your reads! Hope you have a wonderful weekend. :)

  15. Wyatt looks like a book my daughter-in-law would love. I need to share it with her, I think.

    I like the question from the Hop. You have a good answer, too. I hope to read a lot of the books I've added to my Kindle. The pandemic has made my Kindle a favorite way to read.

    1. I never thought I'd enjoy reading on a Kindle but since March it is the only way I read now. You should share the entire Marshall series with your DIL. It is amazing and by one of my favorite authors.

  17. Wyatt sounds like my kind of story for sure! With the secrecy, the mystery, the hockey, and the romance. I'm ready to swoon with just what you shared, Colletta :)
