Thrillers with Brazen Women in ’em

The Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain

Best Fall Books

I love all of Chamberlain’s books. Had I read the book description of this one before I read it, I likely would not have read. But luckily I dove in and can safely say- this is one of the top books of 2018. Brilliantly written with a dose of time travel, this book is simply incredible with a totally badass brazen protagonist.

Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren

Best Fall Books

 

The political landscape is making many, like me, weary of the news. This book is the perfect antidote to the news. Josh and Hazel are truly just friends. Hazel is zany, quirky but a perfect character. You will laugh out loud throughout this book. Every single brazen woman I know who has read it, loved it!

Master of His Fate by Barbara Taylor Bradford

Best Fall Books

A new series from Barbara Taylor Bradford? Yes please! The female protagonist is Alexis Malvern, the daughter of a wealthy businessman with no interest in marriage. She’s smart, known for her business acumen and charitable work setting up a safe house for battered women. Can’t wait for the next in the series.

Flipping the familiar script of The SopranosBoardwalk Empire, and The GodfatherBittersweet Brooklyn explores the shattering impact of mob violence on the women expected to mop up the mess. Winding its way over decades, this haunting family saga plunges readers into a dangerous past—revealed through the perspective of a forgotten yet vibrant woman.
