VI KEELAND "The Invitation"

 Thursday, January 21/21

So as I've already admitted in a prior blog posting, I enjoy reading romance novels.

It's something I started doing back in 2018 when I was laid up post surgery and chemo treatment that allowed me to get my mind off things.

I used the free book offers on iBooks and Kobo to get started and along the way discovered a group of authors who I've really enjoyed reading over the past couple of years, so much so that I've actually moved beyond the free offerings they've made available to round out my portfolio through purchases whenever they offered up something new.

Vi Keeland is one such author. I preordered her most recent release "The Invitation" based on how much I liked other works from her that I've read as well as the synopsis posted on iBooks.

This recent offering became available to download on Monday morning and it had me hooked after the first few pages. I'm not going to give anything away about this story other than to say it had me laughing out loud at some of the exchanges between Stella & Hudson, and I literally mean bursting out loud laughing, as well as a very interesting hook at the end.

I'm not getting anything from anyone for saying any of this so take my recommendation as you will, but it was honestly one of my best purchases and one I'm sure to read more than a few times over the next few years.

The only drawback to the book? I became so caught up in it that I finished it Monday night!!

My name is Marcus and this blog is my attempt to share stories about dating, being a good parent as well as a good grandfather, dealing with working from home during a pandemic, dreaming of my next round of golf, and maybe if I get lucky, meeting someone nice and possibly sharing my last first kiss.

Got a comment, question, or complaint? hit me up at ooasm2018@gmail.com and I promise to get back to you.

Today's musical suggestion isn't just a song but rather an entire album. "A Black Mile To The Surface" by Manchester Orchestra. There are more than a few songs on the album that made me feel something inside and the entire album just flows really well. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
