This was a good first book in a new series. The author has an older series that involves some of the same characters. I haven’t read those books, but didn’t feel like I missed too much for not having read them. This book is well-written and had likeable characters.

This is the second book in this book series. I haven’t read the first book, but didn’t find myself too lost as there were plenty of past references to give context.

Two of the young workers pay too much attention to Emily’s housekeeper, Katie, forcing Emily to fire them.

Ugh. I don’t even know where to start with this book. The premise is promising and the book started out ok, but was just way too slow to hold my attention. Billy goes back to his hometown to visit his ailing sister and runs into his high school sweetheart Aimi. She tells him she wants to fake her death and disappear to escape her abusive husband and his powerful family. With very little thought, Billy agrees to help her and then the story becomes a confusing long drawn out mish-mash. Continue reading “Anything for Her by G.J. Minett”
