christianreaderLittle Secrets - Jennifer Hillier
More like Big Secrets--I really don't get that title. :P Marin and Derek's son, Sebastian, was kidnapped in the middle of Pike Place Market while Marin was out Christmas shopping with him. Now it's 15 months later, and Marin is barely hanging on when she learns more awful news from the private detective that sets off a series of life-changing events. This was my first book by this author and I enjoyed it a lot. I do wish the sex scenes were toned down, but I was interested in the story from the start and didn't guess the ending. I'll give her another try. UPDATE: Her other books seem to be about serial killers, which isn't really my thing, so I haven't read anything else yet.
Royal Blood - Aimée Carter
Evangeline Bright is the American, illegitimate daughter of the king of England, but she's not allowed to tell anyone because of the scandal that might result. After she's involved in an accidental fire and expelled from yet another boarding school, she's whisked away to England to secretly reside until she turns 18 (her mom has mental health issues and can't care for her). This was fun and kind of like Princess Diaries and American Royals. There's a bit of mystery and scandal mixed in. It took me awhile to warm up to Evangeline, but she becomes more likable as the book progresses. This is the first in a series, and the second one comes out this month.
