Since we are getting to know each other I thought I would share a few fun facts about myself over the next several weeks. Here’s my first:
I am a sucker for sugary sweet romance stories. ❤
When I signed up for BookBub my first download was a free ebook of Mary Campisi’s A Family Affair (Truth in Lies, #1). The initial synopsis grabbed me: it is a story about a man who lived dual lives with two separate families. Upon is death his oldest daughter finally learns his secret and once she visits the town of Magdalena, NY – where her dad often frequented – she may never look back.
As with any series you are introduced to a whole slew of characters whose stories will intertwine…currently into 13 books! I am hooked: it’s kind of like Grey’s Anatomy, where you feel like you know the characters and they are your friends (I know how that sounds, yikes). First, I know they aren’t real, second I divorced Grey’s when they killed McDreamy…that can be a whole other post (and there I go rambling again, oops).
Back to Mary Campisi’s Truth in Lies series:
They are quick reads and provide a nice escape for a bit. Campisi believes in second chances and her stories revolve around past regrets being made right. Hope you enjoy them too!
Book One: A Family Affair kindle edition on Amazon is free
Book Two: A Family Affair: Spring
Book Three: A Family Affair: Summer

Destiny
Regret
Love
Heartbreak
Peace

They go super quick, especially if you love the characters…its like you can’t get through them quick enough but when you do you hate to have to wait months for the next one. 😉

I can’t remember if you were in the FB group on Dec. I read a cheesy romance for Christmas and it was wonderful- Christmas Falls. I highly recommend because I’m like you- cheesy romances are my guilty pleasure. I blame DeeJay.

I’ve not read anything by this author. I’m not a great fan of too sweet romance though.

They are more like second chance romances. I call them sugary sweet versus cheesy, because cheesy doesn’t sound very positive and I wouldn’t want that! 😬 I read these inbetween heavy fiction reads because they are much lighter.
