Christmas Gift Guide 2018 Featuring Kaira Rouda Book Best Day Ever

Review

As I get ready to take Charlie to school, I’m back this morning with our Christmas Gift Guide 2018 Featuring                      Kaira Rouda Best Day Ever. I have a confession I would like to today my best day ever and if I read this new novel I wouldn’t ever go to sleep.

I’ve decided I will be nice and give Best Day Ever to someone on my Gift Giving list. Now the question is who would like this type of novel? As of right now I’m not sure, so I have put Best Day Ever in the Christmas closet and I know when the time is right God will let me know his plans for Best Day Ever. If the Lord doesn’t then I will keep                 Best Day Ever. Then I will put on my big girl panties and try to become brave enough to read Best Day Ever.

For those who love to be creeped out

BEST DAY EVER by Kaira Rouda; Psychological Thriller; Graydon House

“I glance at my wife as she climbs into the passenger seat, and I am bursting with confidence. Today will be everything I’ve promised her…and more…”

Paul Strom has the perfect life: a glittering career as an advertising executive, a beautiful wife, two healthy boys and a big house in a wealthy suburb. And he’s the perfect husband: breadwinner, protector, provider. That’s why he’s planned a romantic weekend for his wife, Mia, at their lake house, just the two of them. And he’s promised today will be the best day ever.

But as Paul and Mia drive out of the city and toward the countryside, a spike of tension begins to wedge itself between them and doubts start to arise. How much do they trust each other? And how perfect is their marriage, or any marriage, really?

Forcing us to ask ourselves just how well we know those who are closest to us, Best Day Ever crackles with dark energy, spinning ever tighter toward its shocking conclusion.

All The Difference: Domestic Suspense by [Kaira Rouda]

Winner! USA Best Book Awards, Mainstream Women’s Fiction. Winner! Indie Excellence Award, Fiction/Suspense!

From bestselling author Kaira Rouda, “a quick and sexy mystery is a challenge to unravel, and proves there’s nothing humdrum about the suburbs.” – IndieReader APPROVED

From the bestselling author of HERE, HOME, HOPE, comes a novel of suspense and choices, with a nod to the best of Susan Isaacs tales of suburban murder.

Everything isn’t what it seems in the wonderful suburb of Grandville. ALL THE DIFFERENCE is the story of three women whose lives become entangled by the choices they make and how, ultimately, one of them turns to murder to achieve her goals.

Roommates Laura and Angie couldn’t be more different. Laura is a local celebrity, the television anchor who is motivated to move out of small-time media markets and on to the big time, no matter the cost. Meanwhile, Angie, a luckless waitress, spends her time waiting for Mr. Right to save her from temporary jobs and a life spent making bad choices.

On the other side of town, Ellen abandons her life as a successful fundraiser for that of an isolated housewife in the country estate she shares with her husband, whose affairs become increasingly hard to ignore. When the city’s gossip columnist, Maddie, and restaurant reviewer, Dixon, become involved in the mystery, the unlikely duo stir up more than they intended. But will anyone be able to stop the next murder?

With her signature compassion and wit, Kaira Rouda once again takes readers on an entertaining journey into the heart of women’s lives in suburbia – this time with adultery and murder in the mix.

Here Home Hope

Here, Home, Hope: Women’s Fiction by [Kaira Rouda]

Kelly Mills Johnson becomes restless in her thirty-ninth year. An appetite for more forces her to take stock of her middling middle-American existence and her neighbors’ seemingly perfect lives. Her marriage to a successful attorney has settled into a comfortable routine, and being the mother of two adorable sons has been rewarding. But Kelly’s own passions lie wasted. She eyes with envy the lives of her two best friends, Kathryn and Charlotte, both beautiful, successful businesswoman who seem to have it all. Kelly takes charge of her life, devising a midlife makeover plan.

From page one, Kelly’s witty reflections, self-deprecating humor, and clever tactics in executing that plan—she places post-it notes all over her house and car—will have readers laughing out loud. The next instant, however, they might rant right along with Kelly as her commitment to a sullen, anorexic teenager left on her doorstep tries her patience or as she deflects the boozy advances of a divorced neighbor. Readers will need to keep the tissue box handy, too, as Kelly repairs the damage she inflicted on a high school friend; realizes how deeply her husband, Patrick, understands and loves her; and ultimately grows into a woman empowered by her own blend of home and career.

Here, Home, Hope will surely appeal to readers of chick lit and other women’s fiction titles who are ready to transition into something new in their own life.

I have a question for you have you read any of Kaira Rouda books? If so, what did you think of Kaira Rouda novels and why? Or does Kaira Rouda books look the types of novels you would enjoy reading and why? Or is there another type of book you prefer reading? If so what genre of books do you enjoy reading? For me it’s Romance mostly with a little bit of comedy.

Thank you,
