About Me:

I am a wife, mom of 3 teenagers, and I love to read. I do not limit myself to one genre, but do have some that I prefer. Depending on my mood I will choose a book from RomCom, Romance, Dark Romance, Suspense/Thriller, YA, NA, and SciFi/Fantasy. I would love to share the books I read with you so that you may enjoy them too!

It takes so much courage for an author to put their work out there for the public to read. Then to subject themselves to the opinions of those readers. You will not find disrespectful reviews on this page. Even if a book is not for me, it may be something someone else enjoys. I will not belittle or be nasty to any author, regardless of subject matter. No bashing of person or writing will be tolerated.

My goal by creating this blog is to help authors get their books noticed and to help introduce readers to authors they may not usually read.

Also, please note that any links contained on this website I DO NOT profit from. I do receive advanced reader copies of some of the books I review, but I promise to never let that sway my true feelings on the piece of work.

I am willing to help out as many authors/PAs/promotion companies as I can, but please know that my calendar doesn't always allow for a certain time frame. Please feel free to contact me and I can see if I am able to help. This is a one woman show ;) You can visit my Facebook Page (Like/Follow) at https://www.facebook.com/Reading-Escape-Reviews-279044492594921/ and my email is readingescapereviews@gmail.com

Thank you for stopping by! Oh, and be sure to get on the 2017 Goodreads Reading Challenge. I will be asking periodically for your actual and goal number!

Martinis and Moonlight by Andrea Johnston

Martinis & Moonlight by [Johnston, Andrea]


Blurb:

Minnesota “Minnie” Walker has worked hard for the life she has – a close knit family, successful career, and long-term relationship. When a tragedy strikes, Minnie sacrifices everything to be there for her family. Never expecting a move to the small town of Lexington would change the course of her future, Minnie finds herself wondering if what she always thought was perfect is really what’s best for her … and her heart. 

Owen Butler has lived in the town of Lexington his entire life. After years of feeling second best and wasting his time vying for the attention of his father, Owen has settled into an uncomplicated life. Not one to believe in happily ever after, he never expected the new woman in town to have him questioning everything he thought he wanted in life. 

Together, under the rays of the moonlight, Owen and Minnie find themselves wondering what the future holds and if facing it together is worth the risk. 

*This is a standalone book but may also contain spoilers. Not intended for anyone under the age of 18*

My Review of Martinis and Moonlight:

I am going to start out by saying this is my first book by Andrea Johnston.  That means that I haven't read the other 2 books in the A Country Road series.

I couldn't find one thing not to love about this book.  I loved the characters so much.  I loved the humor Andrea Johnston could add in to make a silver lining for the tragedy Dakota had suffered.  Owen was a douche at first, but then he kind of grew on me and redeemed himself.  Minnie and her comments about the things moms/single moms have to do made me laugh multiple times.  I could relate so closely.  Ashton, Jameson, Piper, Landon, and Ben were fabulous supporting characters, which also has piqued my interest into going back and reading the first two books in the series.  Last but not least, I loved the bond that Minnie's family shared and how they raised each other up instead of beating each other down.  Even though there was tragedy that occurred, that optimism was inspiring.  An obvious 5-star review!  I can't wait to read the first two now!
