On My Knees by Meredith Wild - Value $15.99

Book Summary from Amazon:

Haunted by the responsibility of caring for her troubled family, Maya Jacobs gave the only answer she could when Cameron asked her to marry him. Years later, entrenched in a soulless professional routine, she distracts herself from the lingering regret of her decision with a “work hard, play hard” lifestyle that guarantees no man will ever find his way into her heart again. Cameron Bridge has spent the past five years married to the military, trying to escape the painful memory of losing Maya. After fighting his own war in the desert, he starts a new life in New York City, with his siblings, Olivia and Darren, by his side. When fate brings Maya back to him in the heart of a city filled with its own hopes and shadows, can Cameron find the girl he once loved in the woman she’s become?

FYI - all books are signed by the authors - I totally forgot to take pictures of the signed pages this month - sorry!

Heart Shaped Hack by Tracey Garvis Graves - Retail Value $12.99 (On Amazon for $11.61)

Book Summary from Amazon:

When Kate Watts abandoned her law career to open a food pantry in Northeast Minneapolis, she never dreamed it would be this difficult. Facing the heartbreaking prospect of turning hungry people away, she is grateful for the anonymous donations that begin appearing at the end of each month. Determined to identify and thank her secret benefactor, she launches a plan and catches Ian —a charismatic hacker with a Robin Hood complex—in the act.

Ian intrigues Kate in a way no man ever has. But after learning he’s snooped around on her personal computer, she demands retribution. Impressed with her tolerance and captivated by her spirit, he complies and begins to slowly charm his way past her defenses. Time spent with Ian is never boring, and Kate soon finds herself falling for the mysterious hacker.

But Ian has enemies and they’re growing restless. In the hacking world, exploiting a target’s weakness is paramount, and no price is too high to stop an attack. And when Kate learns exactly how much Ian has paid, she’ll discover just how strong her love is for the man who has hacked his way into her heart.

Maybe Not by Colleen Hoover - Retail Value $9.99 (On Amazon for $7.66)

(This is a bonus novella book all subscribers received - it isn't released in paperback until December 22nd).

Book summary from Amazon:

Colleen Hoover, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe Someday, brilliantly brings to life the story of the wonderfully hilarious and charismatic Warren in a new novella, Maybe Not.

When Warren has the opportunity to live with a female roommate, he instantly agrees. It could be an exciting change.

Or maybe not.

Especially when that roommate is the cold and seemingly calculating Bridgette. Tensions run high and tempers flare as the two can hardly stand to be in the same room together. But Warren has a theory about Bridgette: anyone who can hate with that much passion should also have the capability to love with that much passion. And he wants to be the one to test this theory.

Will Bridgette find it in herself to warm her heart to Warren and finally learn to love?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Verdict: I’d recommend this box if you’re looking for a signed books and giving back with your purchase. It definitely isn’t going to be a high-value box, but I’m enjoying it. I'm interested in reading all these books too. I read Maybe Someday, and I'm probably one of the only people who wasn't a fan, but I finished it quickly thanks to Hoover's addictive and easy-to-read writing style, so I'll give Maybe Not a try!

Also good to know – the boxes vary per subscriber. Here are some of the other books that were sent this month:

The Paper Swan, Marrow, Jane's Melody

I’m interested in trying book subscription boxes. All of the books this month seem to be somewhat in the romance genre. Is that typical for Bookworm?
