Amazon Free Titles - catching up

Finding My Prince Charming - JS Cooper
Didn't really care too much for this book. The main character and her best friend are abroad for a study program and she decides to have a crazy night and break out of her shell. She ends up in a romance with a prince and unattainable bachelor that all the sudden is attainable... I tired story line :(

The Marketmaker - Michael Ridpath
Liked it. This was an interesting thriller based in a rather dull profession (in my opinion). A young man cannot make enough money as a Russian literature teacher (big surprise) so he joins an investment firm that is looking to branch into the Russian markets. On his way to learning the business though he is sent to Latin America where he sees first hand the dark underbelly of the company he works for. Was a good free read!

The Advocate - Teresa Burrell
Really enjoyed this one. Would recommend it even if its not on the free list anymore. Sabre is a child's advocate lawyer in California and partners with the Atlanta PD to solve this case. There are so many plot twists and little details to keep  up with I didn't want to put this book down.

Preparing for Marriage: What To Do Before (and after) The Wedding - Jim and Teresa Adams
This book made a good point, couples spend so much on weddings but not a lot on their marriages. It has some good points to review and think about even if you have been married for years.

Beautiful Ruin - Alison Foster
It was ok. I really like the male character Nate in the start of the story. I wish their was more character development at the start before it rushed right into the meat of the story but I am a sucker for a broken man.

Forgotten - Maggie Shayne
It was ok. Slight supernatural thriller/mystery story. The main character has psychic tendency's and has a connection to a serial killer dubbed "the slasher". It was interesting seeing all the links develop and you wont guess the ending. Not my favorite though.

The Good Lawyer - Thomas Benigno
Liked it. Loosely the story is based on true events which seems super intense. When the war on drugs began and young mostly innocent kids were getting tossed into the prison system things happened. In this case a young man ended up in prison for showing an undercover agent where to buy drugs. In prison he unfortunately is abused before his best friends father, and mafia leader, is able to buy protection. A few strong words from this young men leads to the death of his abusers. No one researches too much initially and 20 years later it opens up again. The young mans life and loyalty to the aging and dying mafia family is thrown into question leading to police wondering what is justice.

Follow the Crow - BB Griffith
Liked it. This story revolves around the Navajo culture and is supernatural. I really liked the glimpse into the Navajo culture. It was a different thought process that was unique to see. Of course supernatural things that happened brought away from the reality of the culture but the basic gist was there. I wanted to reach into the book and hug Ben the main Navajo character.
