Berkley Publishing  gave to me: An AWESOME Box-o-Books…

 

A spotlight on a few upcoming 2019 Berkley titles:

 
THE BRIDE TEST by Helen Hoang, 5/7/2019
Helen Hoang burst onto the scene with her wildly successful debut novel, THE KISS QUOTIENT. She captivated readers with her startlingly real and incredibly empathetic portrayal of an autistic heroine falling in love, and in THE BRIDE TEST she has done it again. Having convinced himself that he is incapable of feeling any human emotion—let alone love—Khai Diep is skeptical when his family takes it upon themselves to find him the perfect woman. But he is not alone in his pessimism, as Esme Tran, his chosen bride, merely sees the marriage as a chance to leave Vietnam and start a new life in America. Of course, Khai’s autism and Esme’s ulterior motives are nothing against the undeniable chemistry they discover between them. Inevitably, both are forced to come to terms with what they really feel when faced with the reality that Esme’s time in the United States is running out.
 
SAY YOU’RE SORRY by Karen Rose, 2/12/2019
New York Times bestselling author Karen Rose takes her readers on a compelling journey in the first book in her new Sacramento series, SAY YOU’RE SORRY. Special Agent Gideon Reynolds has been hunting a killer for the last seventeen years. The case has gone cold, and after so many years without any new leads it seems likely to remain so. That is, until Daisy Dawson stumbles into his life and out of arms of the kidnapper she has managed to escape, with a souvenir in hand: the killer’s necklace, which proves to be a crucial piece of evidence to Gideon’s case. Though the prospect of closing the case is more real than ever now with Daisy’s help, the two are thwarted in their attempts to finally stop the killer when Gideon and Daisy realize that they are now the ones being hunted.
 
FUMBLED by Alexa Martin, 4/23/2019
At sixteen, Poppy Patterson wasn’t going to let a little thing like pregnancy get in the way of making a good life for herself. She knew that she could be a successful single mom and still have it all—a job she loves, and a kid she loves even more. Several years of effort and hard work have built the rock-solid foundation of a happy life that can only be shaken when the father of her baby suddenly reappears. If the last thing she expected was to run into T.K. Moore, former high school sweetheart turned NFL-bound party boy, what surprises Poppy even more is the realization that the feelings she had for T.K. as a girl never really left. In FUMBLED, the newest novel of her Playbook series, Alexa Martin takes a look at how two people can change over the course of becoming adults, and how young love may just be stronger than you think.
 
AYESHA AT LAST by Uzma Jalaluddin, 6/4/2019
Arranged marriage is not for Ayesha Shamsi. She would much rather be alone—albeit it with her boisterous extended Muslim family—working in a teaching job that she doesn’t really want, than take part in that tradition. Her younger cousin Hafsa seems to be equally opposed to the idea, until she unexpectedly announces her engagement to her arranged match, Khalid. Which would be fine, if Ayesha wasn’t falling for this new handsome stranger. Not only is Khalid inconveniently engaged to her cousin, but he also stands for everything Ayesha disagrees with. And yet, Ayesha can’t deny how drawn she feels to Khalid or the constant suspicion that he feels the same. But when unsettling rumors about his family start to circulate, Ayesha finds herself having to deal with the harsh truth of Khalid’s past. In her debut novel, Uzma Jalaluddin delivers a vivid retelling of Pride and Prejudice set within the family dynamics of Muslim tradition.
 
TOXIC GAME by Christine Feehan, 3/12/2019
TOXIC GAME, the newest novel in the GhostWalker series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan, hits the ground running and doesn’t stop for a moment. Deep in the Indonesian jungle, a GhostWalker team is about to successfully complete a rescue mission when one of their own, Dr. Draden Freeman, is infected with the deadly virus that threatened to reach the wounded they were sent to save. After commanding his team to abandon him, knowing he would seal the fate of anyone he came into contact with, Draden sets out to find the terrorists responsible for the initial virus’ release. Soon in over his head, Draden is rescued by a fellow GhostWalker who was lying in wait for the same terrorist group. But when Shylah Cosmos rushes to the aid of a stranger, she unwittingly exposes herself to the virus is set on the same path as Draden. As they join together in search of a cure, this deadly GhostWalker pair finds that the passion they feel for each other make their last days worth living, even if death is around the corner.
