Cute story about lies, telling the truth, and love.
A very moving and enchanting story of lost love being upended by second chances struggling to happen. I truly loved the story of McKenna and Mateo as they wrestle with the reality of becoming parents to two children of a deceased friend. Their love and care shine brightly for the children as their own love tries to do the same. But, there is a major difficulty to overcome and its day of reckoning soon dawns.

A reissue of a novel from 1984 that is disjointed and confusing. Several characters interplay in a series of short plots, barely related and just plain strange. I cannot say I enjoyed the book as I plodded through it wondering if it was going anywhere and if the author even had an ending. Very disappointing.
Both bruised by former loves, Tessa and Zeke cute-meet. They begin a relationship but there is a lie in it. Torn apart from the lie, reasonable as it is. Torments them both especially when they have to work together. An irresistible and engaging story of the ups and downs of love.
Intense and thrilling, The Exchange is a thoroughly engrossing novel. The wits and tenacity of Mitch McDeere are challenged by an unknown terrorist group in Libya.
