ABOUT THIS BOOK Is he who you think he is? Kate used to be good at recognising people. So good, she worked for the police, identifying criminals in crowds of thousands. But six months ago, a devastating car accident led to a brain injury. Now the woman who never forgot a face can barely recognise herself in the mirror. At least she has Rob. Kate met him just after her accident, and he nursed her back to health in his high-tech modernist house on the Cornish coast. When she's with him, the nightmares of the accident fade, and she feels safe and loved. Until, one day, she looks at Rob anew – and knows, with absolute certainty, that he has been replaced by an impostor. Is she right? Have her old recognition skills returned? Or is it all in her damaged mind? MY REVIEW THE OTHER YOU by J.S. Monroe was the first book I picked up this year and it did not disappoint. In fact, it has set an extremely high standard for every other thriller that I will read this year because this story is simply superb and completely unputdownable. Kate used to be a super recogniser, working with the police and helping to catch criminals with her unique talent for recognising faces. But after a car accident almost killed her, Kate ended her relationship of ten years and quit her job as she had lost her recognition abilities. Meeting Rob, a wealthy tech guy who adores her, was obviously meant to be and now Kate is recuperating from all of the trauma of her past on the Cornish coast, spending her weekdays with her little dog, and her weekends with the love of her life. But when it becomes apparent that her accident wasn't an accident and that somebody may be after her, Kate cannot help but panic a little, and when Rob starts talking about doppelgängers and his fears, it all combines to put Kate on edge. Is she imagining things or is Rob acting very unlike himself and when her abilities begin to return, she cannot help but notice that he doesn't always look like her Rob. Can she trust her thoughts or are all of her doubts coming from injuries from the accident? Or has she been spending time with a stranger who wants to hurt her? Twisted, creepy, and with plenty of turns along the way to keep you hooked and have you questioning everyone and everything, THE OTHER YOU by J.S. Monroe is everything you could ever want in a psychological thriller and then some. The characters are fresh and likeable and I really enjoyed the super recogniser element of the story because it is just so fascinating. Technology has become embedded in every part of our lives now and we just accept this blindly but after reading THE OTHER YOU by J.S. Monroe I guarantee you that you will look at everything in a slightly different light! From start to finish THE OTHER YOU by J.S. Monroe captures your imagination and holds you captive to the very end and I cannot wait for more from this amazing author. AUTHOR BIO J.S. Monroe read English at Cambridge, worked as a foreign correspondent in Delhi, and was Weekend editor of the Daily Telegraph in London before becoming a full-time writer. His psychological thriller Find Me became a bestseller in 2017, and, under the name Jon Stock, he is also the author of five spy thrillers. He lives in Wiltshire, with his wife and children.

ABOUT THIS BOOK A summer rental, a new beginning… Hannah Russell’s carefully crafted plans for her life have been upended without warning. When her best friend died suddenly, Hannah became guardian to a five-year-old named Noah. With no experience at motherhood, she’s terrified she’s not up to the challenge. She and Noah need time to get to know each other, so she decides to rent a country house with stunning views on a lake in rural Colorado. When they arrive at the house, they are greeted by the owner, a handsome man who promises to stay out of their way. But his clumsy Great Dane, Romeo, has other ideas and Noah immediately bonds with the lovable dog. As Hannah learns to become a mother, Owen Abrams, who is recovering from his own grief, can’t help but be drawn out of his solitude by his guests. But life throws more challenges at this unlikely trio and they are tested in ways they never thought possible. All three will discover their strengths and, despite their differences, they will fight to become a family. And the people of Sullivan’s Crossing will rally around them to offer all of the support they need. MY REVIEW A compelling story about loss, grief, and second chances, THE COUNTRY GUESTHOUSE by Robyn Carr is the kind of story that tugs on your heartstrings and makes you feel emotionally connected to the characters in a very real way. When Hannah Russell arrives home early from a work retreat she catches her fiancé cheating on her with her assistant, so she decides that it is definitely time for a change. But when her best friend suddenly dies, Hannah's life will never be the same again because now she has five-year-old Noah to look after and she will do everything she possibly can to make him happy after all that he has been through. Needing some time away to figure out just how she is going to become a parent, Hannah and Noah head to a stunning house in Colorado for a holiday and it isn't long before they have both found comfort and strength in their new surroundings and in their newfound friendship with the owner of their rental, Owen. And having Hannah and Noah around has breathed new life into Owen's solitary existence, where he has dealt with his guilt and grief all alone for so long. But as Hannah and Noah try to figure out their next move, someone from the past threatens everything that they have come to hold dear. Will they figure out a way for them all to be a family before it is too late? This was the first book that I picked up to read in 2020 and it did not disappoint. The characters are engaging and loveable (with the exception of one or two!), and the setting came to life at every turn. I loved Hannah's love and dedication to Noah and watching her and Owen open themselves up to love again after everything that life has thrown at them was truly lovely to watch. Noah is a lovely character and my heart broke for his loss and I admired his feisty nature and determination to keep going. The topic of grief and tragic loss are excellently handled in a very sensitive way throughout, and I had tears in my eyes many, many times. THE COUNTRY GUESTHOUSE by Robyn Carr is an excellent story about hope and community, and I highly recommend it to all fiction fans. AUTHOR BIO Robyn Carr is a RITA® Award-winning, eleven-time #1 New York Times bestselling author of almost sixty novels, including the critically acclaimed Virgin River series. The third novel (THE FAMILY GATHERING) in her fan-favorite new series, Sullivan's Crossing, will be released in April 2018. Robyn is a recipient of the Romance Writers of America Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award 2016 and in 2017, VIRGIN RIVER was named one of the HarperCollins 200 Iconic Books of the past 200 years.
