The Marriage Auction Summary From #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Audrey Carlan, discover The Marriage Auction. This series consists of four books that must be read in order. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put them down. The engaging, four-part story kept me hooked from start to finish. The books revolve around four women who offer themselves up for auction with a starting bid of at least $3 million. The highest bidder marries the woman for a minimum of three years. It’s an unconventional way to begin a love story, but each woman does what she must to secure her future with millions of dollars. However, the story is far from simple. It’s packed with sex and lust, secrets, powerful and wealthy men, and family drama. It’s no wonder this series is so popular. I became fully invested in each couple’s journey. I highly recommend this series for reading or listening. These books are not standalone. Note: This series is for adults only and contains some content that may be objectionable to some readers.

I finished reading this last night. The stories were good if you like the playboy sounding guys. I have the next 3 books in my library but don’t feel the must read now. I think I will wait a little before returning to the International Guy.

Summary
From the moment I saw her through the window of her flower shop, something other than darkness took root inside me. Charlie shone like a beacon in a world that had long since lost any light. But she was never meant for me, a man that killed without remorse and collected bounties drenched in blood. I thought staying away would keep her safe, would shield her from me. I was wrong. Danger followed in my wake like death at a slaughter house. I protected her from the threats that circled like black buzzards, kept her safe with kill after kill.
But everything comes with a price, especially second chances for a man like me.
Killing for her was easy. It was living for her that turned out to be the hard part.

The Shepherd Security Series
by Margaret Kay
Still is and will be my most favorite series ever. After reading the first book on December 21, 2019 I was totally hooked on military romance. There is so much to say about how blessed we are to have our elite military but nothing could ever give them the much deserved praise earned. May God bless each one and to them I say thank you.
Mrs. Kay has a unique understanding of the “military life.” Praise for her story telling technique. I am a true fan. Thanks to her for many hours of entertainment.

NAVY SEAL TEAM TWELVE
by MARLISS MELTON
7 BOOKS
Navy Seal Team Twelve
The first book in Marliss Melton's SEAL Team Twelve military romantic suspense series offers a riveting look at the hardships faced by both prisoners of war and the families they leave behind--and what happens when they finally come home.
Helen Renault has started her life over thinking that her Navy SEAL husband Gabe was dead, but when Gabe returns he seems different and more caring, until the memory of the past three years starts to come back to him.
A Hero's Nightmare.
Gabe Renault doesn't know why he was in a prison camp. He has no memory of the past three years or of the Navy Seal mission that went wrong. Only two things kept him going: thoughts of his wife and the certainty that he must escape.
A Sudden Homecoming.
After Gabe is presumed dead, Helen pulls the tattered pieces of her and her daughter's lives back together. Married young and for all the wrong reasons, she's standing on her own two feet at last-and proud of it.
Then comes the biggest shock of all--Gabe returns home. Gone is the distant, secretive husband he once was. This new Gabe is a man she could easily, finally, lose her heart to. But his memory is slowly returning, exposing a trail of government treachery...and jeopardizing his and Helen's second chance at love.
Eat, Pray, Love
by Elizabeth Gilbert
I read the book and saw the movie with Julia Roberts playing the lead. I personally found it boring but most people give it higher than 4 stars.
Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Gilbert, Elizabeth (2007) Paperback Paperback - January 1, 2007
In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want - husband, country home, successful career - but instead of feeling happy & fulfilled, she felt consumed by panic & confusion. This wise & rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, & of what she found in their place. Following a divorice & a crushing depression, Gilbert set out to examine three different aspects of her nature, set against the backdrop of three different pleasures in Italy, devotion in India, & on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment & divine transcendence.
The info about the book is from Amazon where I purchased the paperback in 2007.

Summary: by Audible
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Today Show Book Club Pick!
“A story of love and hope, where interwoven characters show how every moment, big or small, can define a life. If you’re seeking joy, love, romance, and hope—read with us.” —Jenna Bush Hager
The Measure is a luminous, spirit-lifting blockbuster that poses a profound question: If you could know the length of your life, would you want to find out?
Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice.
It starts like any other day. You wake up, have your morning coffee, and step outside. But today, waiting at your door is a small wooden box. Inside, a mysterious slip of paper reveals exactly how many years you have left to live.
As the world grapples with the sudden appearance of these boxes, anxiety and uncertainty spread like wildfire. Where did these boxes come from? Are they trustworthy? And most importantly, do you really want to know your fate?
The Measure explores this new reality through a captivating cast of characters whose lives and choices become intricately intertwined. Best friends, lovers, strangers—each must confront the same life-altering decision: To open the box or not.
Enchanting and deeply uplifting, The Measure is an ambitious, invigorating tale about family, friendship, hope, and destiny. It’s a story that urges us to live life to the fullest, regardless of what the future holds.
Opinion
I didn’t enjoy this book and only read it because it was selected by my book club. While the story was well-crafted and thought-provoking, I found the concept of knowing the future unsettling, which led to a strong negative reaction on my part. Although I struggled with the book, I can see why many readers might appreciate it, especially due to the author’s excellent character development.
