Opposites do more than just attract in Toni Aleo’s latest Nashville Assassins novel about a very bad boy and the good girl he can’t resist.

The instant Piper Allen sees Erik Titov, she wants him—wants his rock-hard body, sure, but the strength and mystery that lies behind that superstar hockey jock demeanor, too. So when he sidles up to her at a bar and slinks his arm around her waist, she’s lost. What follows is the wildest night of her life . . . followed by inevitable heartbreak the next morning. And then, a few weeks later, a very big surprise: two blue lines on a pregnancy test.

Only a check to the head could make Erik fall for a nice girl like Piper. But since their crazy-sexy night together, he’s been trying to forget about her alluring body by falling into bed with every woman in Nashville, and it’s not working. So when Piper shows up at his house with a baby-bomb to drop, it doesn’t take much for Erik to suggest the nuclear option: marriage. While it’s supposed to be all for show, the second they say “I do,” the ice between them starts to melt into sizzling steam.

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Taking Shots, Trying to Score, and Empty Net.

Review of "When Mockingbirds Sing" by Billy Coffey

When Mockingbirds Sing” by Billy Coffey


Title: When Mockingbirds Sing
Author: Billy Coffey
Publish Date: June 2013
Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers
Genre: Christian Fiction
Source: Received free copy from the publisher through the Booksneeze book review bloggers program. 

Synopsis:

What marks the boundary between a miracle from God and the imagination of a child?

Leah is a child from Away, isolated from her peers because of her stutter. But then she begins painting scenes that are epic in scope, brilliant in detail, and suffused with rich, prophetic imagery. When the event foreshadowed in the first painting dramatically comes true, the town of Mattingly takes notice.

Leah attributes her ability to foretell the future to an invisible friend she calls the Rainbow Man. Some of the townsfolk are enchanted with her. Others fear her. But there is one thing they all agree on—there is no such thing as the Rainbow Man.

Her father, the town psychologist, is falling apart over his inability to heal his daughter . . . or fix his marriage. And the town minister is unraveled by the notion that a mere child with no formal training may be hearing from God more clearly than he does.

While the town bickers over what to do with this strange child, the content of Leah’s paintings grows darker. Still, Leah insists that the Rainbow Man’s heart is pure. But then a dramatic and tragic turn of events leaves the town reeling and places everyone’s lives in danger. Now the people of Mattingly face a single choice:

Will they cling to what they know . . . or embrace the things Leah believes in that cannot be seen?

 

“Billy Coffey is a minstrel who writes with intense depth of feeling and vibrant rich description.”

My Thought’s:

            Billy Coffey’s “When Mockingbirds Sing” was definitely not what I expected. The brief blurb on the information about the book is what caught my eye right away. I thought it would be a great choice for my first choice on Booksneeze and sounded really exciting.

            Well, as I began to start “When Mockingbirds Sing” I was definitely not expecting some of the twists and turns that Coffey included throughout the book. At All. Yet I knew just knew I had to finish the book either way to find out what happens.

            Coffey did one awesome job at not giving away any clues as to what was going to happen. He kept you thinking and on your toes. There were the twists and turns throughout his book that kept me wanting more.

            I recommend any reader that enjoys southern gothic, coming-of-age, while exploring faith and doubt within a community. While also showing how alienation with friendships this is the book for you.
