A woman in a coma.
The man who could save her life—if only he could speak.When young, beautiful Cassie Jensen arrives unconscious to the intensive care ward at St. Catherine’s hospital after being struck in a hit-and-run while out walking her dog, chief nurse Alice Marlowe thinks she looks familiar. She starts digging deeper into Cassie’s relationships, only to discover something about her patient that she’d been keeping secret from everyone, including her devoted husband and family. Soon Alice finds herself obsessed with her patient’s past and future, even willing to put her own career on the line in her single-minded search for answers.
Frank, a patient on the same ward who has locked-in syndrome, can hear and see everything around him but cannot speak. Soon he comes to understand that Cassie’s life is still in danger. While the police continue to look for clues, only Frank holds the truth, but he’s unable to communicate it.
As the novel flashes between points of view, the reader will get closer and closer to the truth of who Cassie Jensen was, and why she was out on the road that fateful night…

When sexy Joe Malone never calls after their explosive kiss, Kylie shoves him out of her mind. Until she needs a favor, and it’s a doozy. Something precious to her has been stolen and there’s only one person with unique finder-and-fixer skills that can help—Joe. It means swallowing her pride and somehow trying to avoid the temptation to throttle him—or seduce him.

No, Joe didn’t call after the kiss. He’s the fun time guy, not the forever guy. And Kylie, after all she’s been through, deserves a good man who will stay. But everything about Kylie makes it damned hard to focus, and though his brain knows what he has to do, his heart isn’t getting the memo.
… is enjoy the ride.
As Kylie and Joe go on the scavenger hunt of their lives, they discover surprising things about each other. Now, the best way for them to get over “that kiss” might just be to replace it with a hundred more.

Sophie’s husband James is a loving father, a handsome man, a charismatic and successful public figure. And yet he stands accused of a terrible crime. Sophie is convinced he is innocent and desperate to protect her precious family from the lies that threaten to rip them apart.
Kate is the lawyer hired to prosecute the case: an experienced professional who knows that the law is all about winning the argument. And yet Kate seeks the truth at all times. She is certain James is guilty and is determined he will pay for his crimes.
Who is right about James? Sophie or Kate? And is either of them informed by anything more than instinct and personal experience? Despite her privileged upbringing, Sophie is well aware that her beautiful life is not inviolable. She has known it since she and James were first lovers, at Oxford, and she witnessed how easily pleasure could tip into tragedy.
Most people would prefer not to try to understand what passes between a man and a woman when they are alone: alone in bed, alone in an embrace, alone in an elevator… Or alone in the moonlit courtyard of an Oxford college, where a girl once stood before a boy, heart pounding with excitement, then fear. Sophie never understood why her tutorial partner Holly left Oxford so abruptly. What would she think, if she knew the truth?

Odessa is one of Karthia’s master necromancers, catering to the kingdom’s ruling Dead. Whenever a noble dies, it’s Odessa’s job to raise them by retrieving their souls from a dreamy and dangerous shadow world called the Deadlands. But there is a cost to being raised–the Dead must remain shrouded, or risk transforming into zombie-like monsters known as Shades. If even a hint of flesh is exposed, the grotesque transformation will begin.
A dramatic uptick in Shade attacks raises suspicions and fears among Odessa’s necromancer community. Soon a crushing loss of one of their own reveals a disturbing conspiracy: someone is intentionally creating Shades by tearing shrouds from the Dead–and training them to attack. Odessa is faced with a terrifying question: What if her necromancer’s magic is the weapon that brings Karthia to its knees?
Ahhhhh Shalvis. Was so good.
I really enjoyed that one!
I'm hearing tons of things about Anatomy of a Scandal. Also sees to be quite popular at my library because the wait is kind of long. I may wait awhile.
I have a copy of that one but am honestly not sure when I will have time to read it. It's too bad that my husband makes me go to work everyday. If it wasn't for work, I could read more.
I didn't love Anatomy of a Scandal which was so disappointing for me. I really liked the new KA Tucker book and so excited for new Shalvis. Thanks for sharing!
I have seen some mixed reviews for Anatomy of a Scandal but am hopeful that it will work for me.
If You Knew Her looks intriguing.
I am really looking forward to that one.
The Shalvis book is seriously tempting me. I have to stop looking over here 🙂
The Shalvis book is really good!
I absolutely loved About That Kiss, Carole! The other books are new to me. I'm going to click through to Goodreads to see what they're all about 🙂
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
About That Kiss was a definite winner!
If You Knew Her sounds like a good one! Anatomy of a Scandal and Keep Her Safe were great!
I am happy to hear that you enjoyed Anatomy of a Scandal and Keep Her Safe since I am hoping to read both of them.
I'm really looking forward to reading About That Kiss. It looks so good! Keep Her Safe looks good and I like the look of An Anatomy of Scandal.
I really liked About That Kiss and hope to start Anatomy of a Scandal sometime soon. Keep Her Safe is one that I do hope to get to as well.
I'm so behind on times! Somehow I did not know of any books publishing on Jan. 23rd and yet there are quite a few! I think The Defiant by Lesley Livingston also published yesterday. I can't wait to read that one. ? Great list, Carole!
Have a fantastic week. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Yes, I have seen The Defiant around and it looks great. So many books!
OOooh, they really all sound really good! 🙂
Lots of great ones this week!
My head is going to explode! So many tempting books!
How I wish I had the time to read them all!
Yay for a new K.A. Tucker book! I love her writing. I've read Sarah Glenn Marsh's debut novel so I am curious about this continuation of the series and seeing what she has written next. Love the pale pink cover.
I hope to read the K.A Tucker book soon. I hope to get the Sarah Glenn Marsh book from the library soon.
