Do Not Disturb by Freida McFadden

 


Do Not Disturb by Freida McFadden - 325 pages

Quinn Alexander has committed an unthinkable crime.

To avoid spending her life in prison, Quinn makes a run for it. She leaves behind her home, her job, and her family. She grabs her passport and heads for the northern border before the police can discover what she’s done.

But when an unexpected snowstorm forces her off the road, Quinn must take refuge at the broken-down, isolated Baxter Motel. The handsome and kindly owner, Nick Baxter, is only too happy to offer her a cheap room for the night.

Unfortunately, the Baxter Motel isn’t the quiet, safe haven it seemed to be. The motel has a dark and disturbing past. And in the dilapidated house across the way, the silhouette of Nick's ailing wife is always at the window. Always watching.

In the morning, Quinn must leave the motel. She'll pack up her belongings and get back on the road to freedom.

But first, she must survive the night.


Overall a pretty good book, it starts with a crime and ends with the famous McFadden twist.  Not her best but it was still pretty entertaining.

Sweetbriar Cottage by Denise Hunter

Through several twists and turns, a couple finds out that they are truly better together than apart.  A very sweet love story that takes place in the remote countryside.  Forced to finally tell Noah her deepest secrets, Josephine finds that Noah's unconditional love is the only thing that can heal her troubled soul.  A nice easy read, that has you screaming at Josephine, "just tell him"!! You are pulling for both of them as they try to survive a late spring snowstorm out in the wilds.  Knowing that they belong together if they can just get past all the hurt.  I enjoyed it very much.
