#BookReview #TheAtonement #KierstenModglin #MustRead #5Stars


The highly anticipated, nerve-shredding conclusion to the #1 bestselling ARRANGEMENT trilogy...

First, there was THE ARRANGEMENT—a scandalous story about Peter and Ainsley Greenburg's attempt to fix their marriage, no matter the cost.
Next, came THE AMENDMENT--with their darkest secrets revealed, the couple set out in a treacherous attempt to repair what had been broken.
Now, Peter and Ainsley's marriage will be put to one final test with THE ATONEMENT.

Ainsley Greenburg has always been a fixer.
But her latest attempt to repair her marriage left it more damaged than ever before.

Now, trapped in a vicious game of cat and mouse with the man she thought she knew, Ainsley must do what it takes to put out the fire their arrangement ignited.
But it won't be that simple.

As Peter closes in on her, Ainsley finds herself driven down a path of paranoia and fear.
Her only hope lies in her ability to trust her instincts, but they've let her down before.
This time, there's so much more at stake, and the secrets waiting to be revealed will change everything.

Whom can she trust when her world is up in flames?
One wrong decision could cost her everything she has left—her family, her home, and her life.

And, with a final showdown looming, Ainsley must decide what she's willing to let burn in order to survive.
As the blaze continues to heat up, it's only a matter of time before someone must atone for their sins.

Q: Where did the inspiration for your first novel come from?
A: I'd had the idea for the first novel I published, Becoming Mrs. Abbott, in my head for about five years before I started to write it. The initial idea came from a huge fear I have, which is being accused of a crime and having to prove your innocence. For as long as I can remember, I've had nightmares about that happening. A lot of my story ideas come from fears that I have, so it was super fun to explore it in that story.

Q: How many books have you published?
A: I'm starting to lose count... The Atonement will be my 33rd book! 

Q: What music have you been listening to lately? Any songs inspiring what you are currently writing?
A: For the new book I'm writing, I'm currently listening to Critic by Avery Anna.

Review By 
Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

First, I want to thank Kiersten Modglin for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


O.M.G!!! WOW!! What a way to end a series!! Kiersten Modglin definitely saved the best for last!!! Out of all three books in the series this is the one I loved the most!! Kiersten will have everyone talking about this one! If you have NOT read The Arrangement Series what are you waiting for?! You must read the two prior in the series before you read this one or you will be totally lost. It is an utter jaw dropping, mind blowing, series that will leave you speechless. Each book in the series including this one is a 5 star unputdownable must read. 


The Atonement is dedicated to Ainsley and Peter. The characters who changed Kiersten’s life, her career, and who made so many of Kiersten’s dreams come true. This goodbye is bittersweet, but here’s to all we’ve been through and everything the future holds for us.


Kiersten threw us right into the fast paced storyline that will captivate you just by Ainsley’s first words. Yes, in this book we get to hear her side of the story as well as Peter’s!!! Ohh it makes for a very very interesting read as we get to see a side of them we had not seen before. I absolutely loved it!! 


There was a scene where I had a hard time wrapping my head around for many reasons! This situation was so uncalled for that it got me so frustrated and upset! I literally was yelling at the Kindle!! With all that is going on in the world today this scene I felt was a very touchy issue to address. 


The Atonement was full of drama, suspense, heartache, shocking moments, twists and turns, etc. 


This book is so good you will not want to put it down!!

#BookReview #TheReunion #KierstenModglin #5starread

Hotel Lilith holds terrible memories for Cait Du Bois.

The darkest night of her life happened within its walls.

Once, she vowed never to return to the place that reminds her of the horror she experienced. But when the hotel is chosen as the location for her high school reunion, Cait finds herself unable to resist the appeal of showing off her new life to the people who once made her existence miserable.

Cait is no stranger to being noticed in public, especially as a bestselling author with an enthusiastic fan base, but back at Hotel Lilith, she was once recognized for a completely different reason. With all eyes on her as she returns to the town she’s spent years running from, Cait finds it increasingly difficult to discern between her fans and foes.


Haunted by the memory of a night that torments her, she resolves to put the past behind her and move on. 
No one knows the truth about what happened back then. 
At least, that’s what she’s always believed. 

Shortly after her arrival, strange things begin to occur. A mysterious package, strange calls, and frightening text messages seem to be just the beginning of the nightmare about to unfold. 

Someone is determined to bring the truth to light. If they succeed, the life Cait has built based on secrets could come crashing down around her. And, if they want her to pay for what she’s done, her lies may be the least of her concerns. 

Someone’s out for blood.

#BookReview #TwistedButTrueBook111PluggingUpTheHoles #TrueCrime #DarrenBurch #LtColDaveGrossman #WritersRepublic

 

Retired Phoenix Police Sergeant Darren Burch captivates you on a third twisted police ride-along with more outrageously macabre and riveting stories from his 30-year career as a rookie patrol officer, sex crimes detective, child crimes supervisor and homicide night detective sergeant in this compelling follow-up to the 2019 Pinnacle Award-winning "Twisted But True" and the 2020 Pinnacle Award winning "Twisted But True Book II - Filling in the Cracks," which resulted in Darren being featured on ID Channel's American Detective with Lt. Joe Kenda.

Darren's horrifically brutal and morbidly funny true-crime stories resumes with a vengeance, starting with manic stories like, finding a severed leg in "A Dumpster Fire," to the savagery of a triple murder in "Easter Massacre," to acts of depravity from sexual predators in "He's No Angel" and "Caught Red Faced," and even the supernatural with an inspirational tale in "Heavenly Sent."

#BookReview #TheChristmasPact #JoanneDannon

Gabe doesn’t date virgins. Especially not gorgeous ones who dream of happily-ever-afters. But desperate times call for desperate measures…


Right before his company’s annual Christmas weekend getaway, Gabe finds his girlfriend in bed with two men. If he wants the promotion he’s been working so hard for, he can’t let this scandal ruin the getaway. 

Thankfully, his girlfriend has a twin sister. 

Dakota is everything her sister is not. Smart, funny, and innocent, she still believes in true love. Exactly the sort of woman Gabe avoids. But she’s willing to pose as Gabe’s girlfriend for the weekend in exchange for his help starting her own business. 

Their Christmas Pact is nothing but a business arrangement…right?

***Note from Joanne Dannon - unlike all my other holiday romances which are all sweet, "The Christmas Pact" is a sexy read, with a heat level of 3/5.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Love, Joanne
