As I mention every month, I am in love with this meme! This is such a great way to make sure that I actually read some of those books that have been in my TBR list for eons.
Again, this month I limited my Random Read choices to books that I actually own since I have so many of them that I've been wanting to read. (I did this by just creating a Random Reads shelf on Goodreads).
I loved my January Random Reads pick! It was Colors Like Memories by Meradeth Houston. You can check out my review here.
And this month's winner is...
#36 - Waterborn by Kimberly James
Synopsis:
"You don’t have to choose. You can be both. The girl with the charm, the girl without. They both suit you."
Caris Harper lives a charmed life. Literally.
When her dad offers to take her to the Emerald coast of Florida for summer vacation, Caris jumps at the chance. The chance to get answers to questions she’s always been too afraid to ask. The chance to be normal. Isn’t that what her dreams have been telling her, that here in the place of her birth she can be normal? But from the first moment the wind caresses her face and the sun touches her skin, the charm begins to fade, revealing a girl Caris never knew existed, one that is anything but normal. The long-buried Song that awakens is only the beginning of a transformation that will challenge her ideas about loyalty and family.
Noah Jacobs is a waterbreather—a species of human fully adaptable to life in the water. Like his older brother Jamie, Noah wants to prove they can use their abilities and be heroes in service to their country. When a simple mission goes wrong and Jamie goes missing, Noah exiles himself to the Deep in a desperate search. MIA is a classification Noah is not ready to accept. But instinct can’t be ignored. Not when he hears her Song. Caris is not what he expects and Noah is determined to get her out of his head. Instead he finds himself acting as her mentor and the more time they spend together, the more Noah realizes he just wants Caris.
When a startling truth threatens their newly formed trust, Noah straddles the line between love and obsession while Caris struggles to find a balance between the girl she thought she was and the young woman she wants to be.
I won this book in a giveaway back in October (I had added it to my TBR list in September). It looks like a mermaid book and I've been wanting to read one of those, so I'm hoping it's good!! Of course, you'll all be the first to know!
