Finding Margo by Jen Turano

Off the charts and on the run.
International pop star Margo Hartman could use a night off. A grueling tour and overbearing entourage have sent her over the edge. It's time for this diva to disappear. And who would think to look for the superstar in a small Dutch town in Ohio?

Sheriff's deputy Brock Moore is undercover as well. He knows Margo isn't who she appears to be, but her uncanny resemblance to a local Amish woman is raising all sorts of questions... the kind that make her a target for a killer.

Both are determined to find answers, but their mutual attraction stands in the way of either of them doing it alone.

Is finding Margo the solution to Brock's problems or just the beginning...?

Here is what I thought.......

I really enjoyed this book! It's very fun and enjoyable as well as somewhat exciting and mysterious.  I enjoyed all the characters and found myself very involved in the story.  I couldn't put the book down cause I wanted to know what was going to happen.  I couldn't wait to know the end and find out where all of the twist and turns were going.  Jen has done a fine job of writing this contemporary story. If  you enjoy her historical work then you will most definitely enjoy this.  I even think those who might not be a fan of her historical will enjoy this. Ididn't have anything that I found as a negative in the book. I was very pleased with this book and can't wait to read the next one! I received this book from celebrate lit for free.  a positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.

Here is what I thought. .....

I very much enjoyed this book. It was very intriguing and very much a page turner. I enjoy reading a story that is based on a true story and not complete fiction. This story is very touching and emotional. I enjoyed how the story flipped back and forth between two different times. I was very impressed by this book and the way this mother-daughter writing team were able to weave together such a fascinating story. The only negative I  had was the bad language that was sprinkled throughout the book. It wasn't excessive but it's not my cup of tea when reading Christian fiction. This was a great story and I'd be interested to read more by these authors. I received this book from Pump Up Your Book for free.  A positive review was not required.  All opinions are my own.

Confessions of X by Suzanne M. Wolfe

Before he became a father of the Christian Church, Augustine of Hippo loved a woman whose name has been lost to history. This is her story.

She met Augustine in Carthage when she was seventeen. She was the poor daughter of a mosaic-layer; he was a promising student and heir to a fortune. His brilliance and passion intoxicated her, but his social class would be forever beyond her reach. She became his concubine, and by the time he was forced to leave her, she was thirty years old and the mother of his son. And his Confessions show us that he never forgot her. She was the only woman he ever loved.

In a society in which classes rarely mingle on equal terms, and an unwed mother can lose her son to the burgeoning career of her ambitious lover, this anonymous woman was a first-hand witness to Augustine’s anguished spiritual journey from secretive religious cultist to the celebrated Bishop of Hippo.
