Dewey's 24 hour Read A Thon

I'm so excited that I actually get to do this! I've missed the last couple due to work. ): I will have to go to a baby shower, but I figure I can make up for lost time when I get back!

Here are the books I hope to read during it....I know I won't finish them all, but I like a variety and I'll fun doing it! I know I'll probably change my mind during the read-a-thon, but these are books I've been meaning to read for awhile now!

Short blurb from goodreads: 

Four years ago, Mitch Lawson moved across the breezeway from Mara Hanover and she fell in love with the tall, good-looking police detective who had an uncanny ability to dress well even though he’s single. It was not a stalker kind of love; she knows she has no hope since Mitch is way out of her league. That doesn’t change the fact that he’s her dream man.

Then one day Mara’s faucet won’t turn off and she knows nothing about plumbing. Being a good guy, Mitch offers to help then he invites himself over for pizza. Mara gives it a go but finds herself running away from him (literally) on their first date, standing him up their second and then she runs into him (again literally) on her way to save her ne’er do well, criminal cousin’s kids who’d just run away from their ne’er do well, criminal Dad.
