What Brooke Read

I have three books for you this week!
Wolf Signs by Vivian Arend was my first read. Werewolf and wolf shifters are my favorite to read, so it shouldn't be a surprise why I picked this one up.
Blurb:
Talk about getting your signals crossed… 
When her brother cancels their backcountry ski trip, Robyn Maxwell takes it in stride. The fact she’s deaf doesn’t make her survival skills any weaker, and she’s been craving the chance to escape into the Yukon wilderness. Only the sexy beast of a man she bumps into at the cabin starts cravings of another kind, setting her hormones raging as well as raising strange questions about wolves, and mates, and pack challenges. 
All wilderness guide Keil Lynus wanted was a nice quiet retreat before challenging for the Alpha position of his Alaskan pack. He wasn’t planning on meeting his destined mate, or finding out she’s not aware she has the genes of a wolf. Between dealing with his accident-prone younger brother, a deaf mate with an attitude and an impending duel to the death, his week—and his bed—is suddenly full. 
Far from the relaxing getaway any of them had in mind… 
Warning: Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “talking with your hands”. Includes dangerous use of sarcasm and hot nookie in a remote wilderness sauna.

My next read was Picture Perfect Lie by Marquita Valentine. A sweet story that I fell in love with. This book would have been five stars but, unfortunately, there were too many typos that sometimes took away from the story.
Blurb: 
Fall in love with the Kings of Castle Beach!
All Campbell Faircloth wanted was a safe place to call home.
All Knight King wanted was to leave his hometown behind. 
I never expected to end up in Castle Beach, surrounded by a family who believes that I’m not only their brother’s wife, but the mother of his infant daughter. 
I can’t tell them the truth—Knight and I met only three days earlier, during a layover in Atlanta. 
He was headed out to fight in a war that hardly anyone talked about anymore, and I was headed back home to a family who pretended that I didn’t exist. 
He helped me with my baby. 
He kept us safe while we slept. 
We shared lunch and dinner… and I spilled all my secrets to him. 
Then he gave me an address, along with an offer I couldn’t refuse.
***
Six months later he’s back to bury his brother, and my lie is about to be exposed. 
Only Knight doesn’t say a word. 
He goes along with the charade, and each day we spend together, pretending to be husband and wife, it’s getting harder and harder not to believe in our lie. 
Could our picture perfect lie turn into a picture perfect forever?

My last book for this week is Love, Chocolate, and Beer by Violet Duke. 
Blurb:
Chocolatier and town newcomer Luke Bradford loves his shop's new home. Mostly because it means he gets to do his new favorite thing every day, which is to lock horns with the feisty beer-brewing beauty next door, both business-wise and otherwise.
But to be fair, in his defense --
Just kidding. He has no defense.
Brewmaster and town sweetheart Dani Dobson is declaring war against her hot, maddening new menace of a neighbor. And his shop. He absolutely started it. She's just picking up the chocolate-covered gauntlet he unintentionally threw down.
The terms? Her business versus his in the arena of romance.
The stakes? Very likely, her heart.

That's all I have for you this week. I'm going to be baking this weekend with my kids, wish me luck. Have a wonderful weekend.
