SUPER-BARGAIN & I LOVE THIS AUTHOR!!! ONE-CLICKED, AND I CAN’T WAIT TO READ THIS! HER NEW LANDLORD IS NOT STRANGER-FRIENDLY…

Kathy: …I don’t know why I waited to read it. For me, definitely one of her better books.

Melinda: Loved it Amazing 5 stars for me. Mariana Zapata builds the characters and you feel that deep connection with them, you feel their pain, happiness and building of relationships. It’s as if the characters become family.

Rochelle: …It had a slow start but the slow burn was great. All her writing is excellent. I love how she ties spots or outdoors into her stories. Never go wrong with Mariana.

Branden: I just finished All Rhodes Lead to Here and it was so super cute! Loved it😍

SPORTS ROMANCE WITH A MOODY FOOTBALL STAR! I 5-STAR LOVED IT (and this is one of my favorite authors)! Here’s my review.

“…She has plans for her life, and none of them include washing extra-large underwear one more day for a man who could never find it in him to tell her good morning, congratulate her on a job well done, or wish her a happy birthday—even when she was spending it working for him.

The legendary “Wall of Winnipeg” may be adored by thousands, but after two years Van has had enough.

But when Aiden Graves shows up at her door begging her to come back, she’s beyond shocked...”

Ria: I love shy heroes! Aiden from The Wall of Winnipeg and Me is my favorite reclusive hero.

Elaine: I love slow burn and enemies to love books so much. My favorites are The Wall of Winnipeg and Wait for it, both by Mariana Zapata.

Ashley: I have listened to Wall of Winnipeg and Me, Kulti and Wait for It so many times….. (oh, and Luna and the Lie!) There’s just something about her books – they hit me with all the feels.

Northernstar: One of my absolute favorites is The Witness by Nora Roberts. Both the book and the audio are fantastic. …The Witness by Nora Roberts is still one of my favourite audio books and I have listened to this one a few times. There are few others in this ‘series’ although not called a series, but are similar in theme – suspenseful, thrillers with strong female characters. The Collector, The Obsession, The Search and The Liar were all great listens.

Andrea: I just finished The Witness by Nora Roberts and it was excellent

Teri: Yayyy. I love with a capital L women running/hiding stories and since I read more romance than thriller these days I don’t get enough of them. My favorites are the book The Witness (Nora Roberts) and Enough, a movie with Jennifer Lopez. 

Shenita: My favorite audio to date though has been The Witness by Nora Roberts though, holy crap it was so good 🙂
