Reading took a back seat in March as I had several things that demanded my full attention for most of the month. I did get 2 audio books completed, listening mostly at night before sleeping. And by the end of the month I did have one ARC in print completed, although it wasn’t a favorite. Hopefully I will read some better books in April and get back to my 2024 goals list!
Hot Springs Drive – Lindsay Hunter
I listened to the Hot Springs Drive audio book and let me tell you, this one is one mixed up concoction. It has almost every dysfunctional item out there and I was there for it. The main theme was a loss off identity, and it sure did lead to some big messed up issues. It’s a bit steamy at times, but that’s the least of the shocking traits of some of these characters. It reminded me a bit of the series Desperate Housewives, Big Little Lies and Revenge.

Ready or Not – Cara Bastone
This was audio for me. Not sure I recommend audio for this one, narrator way to theatrical and loud at times for my liking. Nearly blew my ears out when she would raise the volume. And there are a couple of spicy scenes that with her added theatrics were a bit much, for me. After a rare one night stand, Eve finds herself pregnant and she’s decided to keep the baby and raise them as a single mom. Her circumstances and decisions effect every part of her life and relationships and while she doesn’t always make the best decisions, I enjoyed the story of her 9 months of pregnancy.

The Princess of Las Vegas – Chris Bohjalian
I thought this one was going to be a winner for the first 50 pages but it fell a bit off the deep end for me and wound up just ok. Way too much on the cryptocurrency topic for my liking and I admit skimming many parts. If Princess Diana, Vegas, mobs and crypto are your thing, you will likely enjoy it more than I did. Thank you to NetGalley and Doubleday books for an early copy in exchange for my honest opinion, The Princess of Las Vegas is now available.
