With Labor Day around the corner, the vacation-filled days of summer will be over soon. And it’s time to return to the monthly book club meetings that chances are have been put on hiatus in honor of summer vacation.
There are so many new books out there but for a change of pace, why not do a theme such as “a male POV.” And just for fun, why not do two books from two different genres – mystery/thriller and romance.
If you’re thinking that this is an unconventional combo, please hear me out. There is a logic in this madness.
The first recommended book with a male POV is “Lies
I agree! When I first got hold of this book, I was hooked in the first chapter. I could not turn the pages fast enough. There were a few holes in the logic, but they were not significant enough to deter me from enjoying the book.
“Lies
That was the pivotal moment when Joe’s “perfect and very ordinary life” tilted on its axis. After witnessing his wife having a heated argument with her best friend’s husband, Joe got into an altercation with the other man where he left him for dead, bleeding and unconscious.
Feeling guilty, Joe went back to the scene of the crime in a manner of speaking but found the man missing, all traces him, including his car was gone.
What followed was a rollercoaster ride where Joe did not know whether he was coming or going, what was real and what was not, what was the truth and what was the lie.
There is only one constant he can rely on – his son William is real, and Joe needs to protect him. But what if it costs him his life? Who will take care of William?
Now, for the second book – “Last Chance Rodeo
“Last Chance Rodeo
But reclaiming his horse was not as easy as he thought. First, David had to deal for a woman that he found very attractive. Never mind that she was the enemy. His heart had a different opinion.
Second, his Muddy’s “new owner” Kylan was a kid who had gotten more raw deals in life than average. Muddy might be his only salvation and path to a normal life.
Third, David is dealing with tribal law, which he did not understand nor have any working knowledge. Though the Elders are trustworthy, it was hard for David to deal with something he did not understand. Any misstep can cost him his horse!

“Assured, compelling, and hypnotically readable—with a twist at the end I guarantee you won’t see coming” (New York Times bestselling author Lee Child), T. M. Logan’s debut psychological thriller dissects a troubled marriage straight to the marrow as one man separates the truth from the Lies…
Six days ago, Joe Lynch was a happily married man, a devoted father, and a respected teacher living in a well-to-do London suburb. But that was before he spotted his wife’s car entering a hotel parking garage. Before he saw her in a heated argument with her best friend’s husband. Before Joe confronted the other man in an altercation where he left him for dead, bleeding and unconscious.
Now, Joe’s life is unraveling. His wife has lied to him. Her deception has put their entire family in jeopardy. The man she met at the hotel has vanished. And as the police investigate his disappearance, suspicion falls on Joe.
Unable to trust the woman he loves, Joe finds himself at the mercy of her revelations and deceits, unsure of who or what to believe. All he knows is that her actions have brought someone dangerous into their lives—someone obsessed with her and determined to tear Joe’s world apart.
