I promise I'm not stalking Tracey Garvis-Graves, but holy cow, I'm still
all kinds of flaily over On the Island so knowing that she has a new
book coming out in September is THE BEST NEWS EVER!
From Goodreads:
What if the life you wanted, and the woman you fell in love with, belonged to someone else?
Chris and Claire Canton’s marriage is on life support. Downsized during the recession and out of work for a year, Chris copes by retreating to a dark place where no one can reach him, not even Claire. When he’s offered a position that will keep him away from home four nights a week, he dismisses Claire’s concern that time apart could be the one thing their fragile union can’t weather. Their suburban life may look idyllic on the outside, but Claire has never felt so disconnected from Chris, or so lonely.
Local police officer Daniel Rush used to have it all, but now he goes home to an empty house every night. He pulls Claire over during a routine traffic stop, and they run into each other again at the 4th of July parade. When Claire is hired to do some graphic design work for the police department, her friendship with Daniel grows, and soon they’re spending hours together.
Claire loves the way Daniel makes her feel, and the way his face lights up when she walks into the room. Daniel knows that Claire’s marital status means their relationship will never be anything other than platonic. But it doesn’t take long before Claire and Daniel are in way over their heads, and skating close to the line that Claire has sworn she’ll never cross.

WANT!!!!! Can you blame me for being excited?!?
What book are you waiting for?
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a meme hosted by the lovely bloggers at Breaking the Spine - head on over and see what other readers can't wait to read.
This sounds interesting. I know so many people who loved On the Island, but the premise just doesn't sound like my cup of tea. I might have to pick it up someday. Everyone does seem to rave about it! Great pick!

I was the same way -- it was buried 3 or 4 pages deep on my Kindle because I was hesitant. Read my review from the other day...by the end, I was totally kicking myself for not reading it sooner.
DeleteI know how that goes -- I consumed everything Paranormal I could get my hands on for a while and eventually had to back off. I'm slowly starting to reintroduce it to my to-read list because I started to miss it :)
ReplyDeleteSounds good! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
What a pretty cover! I've heard of the title, but not the author! I might not get to it, but I hope you enjoy it when you get to read it! :D
