The fastest way to fall / by Williams, Denise,1982-author.(CARDINAL)837613;
"Britta didn't plan on falling for her personal trainer, and Wes didn't plan on Britta. Plans change and it's unclear if love, career, or both will meet them at the finish line. Britta Colby works for a lifestyle website, and when tasked to write about her experience with a hot new body-positive fitness app that includes personal coaching, she knows it's a major opportunity to prove she should write for the site full-time. As CEO of the FitMe app, Wes Lawson finally has the financial security he grew up without, but despite his success, his floundering love life and complicated family situation leaves him feeling isolated and unfulfilled. He decides to get back to what he loves-coaching. Britta's his first new client and they click immediately. As weeks pass, she's surprised at how much she enjoys experimenting with her exercise routine. He's surprised at how much he looks forward to talking to her every day. They convince themselves their attraction is harmless, but when they start working out in person, Wes and Britta find it increasingly challenging to deny their chemistry and maintain a professional distance. Wes isn't supposed to be training clients, much less meeting with them, and Britta's credibility will be sunk if the lifestyle site finds out she's practically dating the fitness coach she's reviewing. Walking away from each other is the smartest thing to do, but running side by side feels like the start of something big"--

Sailing paradise : a romantic Caribbean adventure / by Thompson, Gabrielle,1995-author.(CARDINAL)865678;
"The heat of the Caribbean is felt through the heart of shipbuilder Luke Nordstrom as he sails his traditional schooner, Twilight, to the Virgin Islands. Abandoned as a baby by his mother and raised by his alcoholic father, Luke prefers the unemcumbered life of a sea gypsy. The only semi-close relationship he has is with his Navajo first mate, Jonas Whitehawk, who served as his gunner aboard the helicopter Luke piloted in Viet Nam. On St. Thomas, Luke meets Ricki Long, a talented singer/songwriter and chef extraordinaire. When Jonas is struck with debilitating seizures at the beginning of the charter season, he asks Ricki to take his place as first mate. Chartering deepens the relationship between Luke and Ricki, where Luke discovers Ricki is the foundation of his happiness and Twilight's success. However, the partnership is tested by Luke's reserve and trepidation as he learns how to love. The multicultural society of St. Thomas provides memorable characters and background for the novel. Seafaring vernacular will delight the armchair and active sailor alike, and actual place names give the story a travel-log familiarity. Hurrucanes, migrating humpback whales, steel drum beach bars, the Piña Colada Regatta, and St. Thomas' week-long Carnival add authenticity and excitement to the experience of island life, yet all are viewed by the heretofore unheard voice of the skipper of a charterboat. Through their lighthearted antics, support characters such as Crazy Alice and Lynette Du Pres give the reader insight into the pleasures, promise, and pitfalls of life afloat in a Caribbean playground. The author and her husband built the 75'LOA schooner Satori in Los Angeles and sailed to St. Thomas where they chartered for 14 years. Many of the adventures portrayed in the novel were developed from actual experiences form their wild, wacky worl of chartering in its heyday." [front flap]

The royal Abduls / by Koya, Ramiza Shamoun,author.;
"Ramiza Shamoun Koya reveals the devastating cost of anti-Muslim sentiment in The Royal Abduls, her debut novel about an Indian-America family. Evolutionary biologist Amina Abdul accepts a post-doc in Washington, DC, choosing her career studying hybrid zones over a faltering West Coast romance. Her brother and sister-in-law welcome her to the city, but their marriage is crumbling, and they soon rely on her to keep their son company. Omar, hungry to understand his cultural roots, fakes an Indian accent, invents a royal past, and peppers his aunt with questions about their cultural heritage. When he brings an ornamental knife to school, his expulsion triggers a downward spiral for his family, even as Amina struggles to find her own place in an America now at war with people who look like her. With The Royal Abduls, Ramiza Koya ignites the canon of post-9/11 literature with a deft portrait of second-generation American identity"--

The life and crimes of Hoodie Rosen / by Blum, Isaac,author.;
"Hoodie Rosen's life isn't that bad. Sure, his entire Orthodox Jewish community has just picked up and moved to the quiet, mostly non-Jewish town of Tregaron, but Hoodie's world hasn't changed that much. He's got basketball to play, studies to avoid, and a supermarket full of delicious kosher snacks to eat. The people of Tregaron aren't happy that so many Orthodox Jews are moving in at once, but that's not Hoodie's problem. That is, until he meets and falls for Anna-Marie Diaz-O'Leary - who happens to be the daughter of the obstinate mayor trying to keep Hoodie's community out of the town. And things only get more complicated when Tregaron is struck by a series of antisemitic crimes that quickly escalate to deadly violence. As his community turns on him for siding with the enemy, Hoodie finds himself caught between his first love and the only world he's ever known"--From dust jacket.760LAccelerated Reader AR
