Mailbox Monday…05.31.11

Mailbox Monday is where other bloggers write about the books they received the previous week. The Mailbox Monday is now going on a blog tour with the host for the month of May being Mari Reads. Visit her blog to see what books made it her way and check out the others who are participating like me in the Monday Mailbox Meme.

Midnight Waltz by Jennifer Blake (this is for the reissue, no new cover or link to purchase yet available) – SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT…In the aristocratic world of the magnificent plantations of nineteenth-century Louisiana, young Amalie knows how to behave as the new mistress at Belle Grove, but her arranged marriage to Julien Declouet is full of surprises.

HE’S AS DIFFERENT AS NIGHT AND DAY...Amalie finds her husband perfectly polite, although oddly aloof, by day, but a completely different man when he visits her in her chambers at night, full of white-hot emotions and passion that sweeps her away. As the steamy Louisiana summer swelters onward, and the mystery of her husband’s dual personalities intensifies, Amalie finds herself engulfed in an emotional storm that threatens to wreak destruction on them all…

Indemnity by Paula Wiseman - “Emotions Bobbi locked away churned to the surface. Searing pain surged through her, almost as fresh and real as the day she looked in Chuck’s eyes and knew he’d been unfaithful. She asked him point blank if Tracy was pregnant, and he said no. If he lied … If he knew about this boy all these years … If he kept this a secret …”

After years of believing Chuck’s affair is behind them, Bobbi’s marriage is tested again when Tracy Ravenna resurfaces. Tracy’s not alone, though. Jackson Charles Ravenna is the newest student in Bobbi’s first grade class and the spitting image of her husband. When Chuck decides to pursue joint custody, they discover Jack isn’t the only secret Tracy’s been hiding.

As Tracy’s past begins to threaten their future with Jack, Bobbi is forced to face the unsettling truth about God’s grace. But this time, what will it cost to forgive the unforgivable?

A shattered childhood.
A mended marriage.
Bound together by one little boy.
