Home at Last Lily Everett- Sanctuary Island series Book #6



Description:
Home is where the heart is…
In Lily Everett's Home at Last, Marcus Beckett left Sanctuary Island after his mother’s funeral, and he hasn’t been back since. Until now. Needing a change from the high-risk, high-stakes life of a bodyguard, Marcus makes a solitary life for himself running the neighborhood bar in his hometown. His only mistake? Seducing and then dumping the town’s sweetheart, Quinn Harper. Marcus knows he did the right thing―a good girl like Quinn has no business with a broken man like him. But now no one will come to his bar, and he’s watching his last chance at a peaceful life go up in smoke. So when Quinn proposes a fake four-week courtship, he can’t refuse…even though he knows it’s a bad idea. 
It’s a romantic charade that will buy Quinn time to distract her mother and father from their own marital problems―and will help Marcus welcome back some paying customers besides. But what begins as an engagement of convenience slowly transforms into a deeper connection, one that heals both of their hearts. . .and ignites the simmering passion between them. Could it be that pretending to be together is just what Quinn and Marcus needed to give their real love a second chance?

My thoughts on the book:

Quinn is not happy with Marcus but she has loved him her whole life and she wished she can convince him that she worth the risk. When things seem array in her parents life she comes up with a plan and she hopes its a fool proof plan, nothing can go wrong right?
Marcus wants Quinn but with the age difference and with his own secrets he would like to keep close to his chest. He thinks she deserves better but when she comes up with a plan to help her parents he wants help her. But will he be able to keep everyones heart in tact and walk away with his pride?

I love the fun characters of Sanctuary Island the one thing the author is consistent about in all the books is she sucks you in and make you want to get on the next plane and visit just to walk down the streets and meet these fun people and that is the same throughout this book. This book is fun it has you laughing and crying and guessing through out the whole book. The story truly is well written and it wont disappoint. The story has some strong language and some adult scenes in it so it may not be for all readers. Over all if you have been following this series or not grab this book its so worth the read.

He Has Her Heart by Cynthia Marcano Spring Love Series book #3


Description:

Dream Collins has always lived in a world all her own, never afraid to grab it by the horns. In fact, life's been smooth sailing for most of her charmed life. Her only unconquered feat is winning over her future husband, and best friend's brother, Max Davidson, the stubborn man she has pined for since high school.

When life throws her a myriad of life-changing curveballs, can she depend on the God she has loved all her life to sort out the mess and deliver her promised future of love and happiness?

With his newfound wealth, Max Davidson is ready to leave bachelorhood behind, settle down with a woman he can be proud of, and begin a family. If his father's early death is any indicator, life is too short to waste, and he has not a minute to lose.

Now if he could only re-train his uncooperative heart to release the hold it has on the eccentric Dream Collins, the most unsuitable wife he could imagine, he could focus on building a life and legacy that his father would be proud of. Will God bless his well thought out future?


My thoughts on the book:

Dream is as stubborn and set in her ways and has no problem telling people how it really is. She knows what she wants or more or less who she wants she just need to convince him that they are a match made in heaven. Max is home in New Jersey and is glad to be back among his friends and family. He has a constant pain in his side by the name of Dream. He has convinced himself that if he loathes her enough and keeps her at arms lengths then he can put his past feelings for her in the past and they can move on. When life seems to be handing Dream a series of lemons she needs to decide to either to make lemonade or throw them back at people but in the end can she survive?
This book at first started off a little all over the place in the beginning, however that quickly changed. The storyline grabs your attention and you start want to turn the pages just to see what is going to happen next. The story had a funny turn to it with Dream being kind of out there and all over the place, but she has this personality that shined on the pages where you really liked her and connected with her. Max was someone who wanted to love to hate. This story is a good clean romance will guarantee laughs and a completely enjoyable read.

Bidding on the Billionaire J.M. Stewart Seattle Bachelors #1



Description:

Online, any fantasy is possible. But when virtual lovers decide to meet in real life, the temperature rises-and so do the stakes.
Safety. Anonymity. Invisibility. Those are just a few advantages of Internet "dating." Even better, as far as Hannah Miller is concerned, is the fact that she can shed all inhibitions without worrying about what he thinks of her figure or her face. "He" is bikerboy357, the man who knows what Hannah likes, and wants her-every night-as much as she wants him. When he asks to meet, Hannah hesitates. But the temptation is too strong. And after one look into his sultry green eyes, there's no turning back.

Cade McKenzie's never met a woman who wasn't blinded by his billion-dollar net worth, but "JustAGurl456" knows neither his face nor his name. Her words are so smart, sweet, and scorchingly sexy that Cade's willing to gamble she'll be just as amazing in person. And she is. But even as every delicious encounter makes Cade want Hannah more, what he wants most is her trust. It's something all his money can't buy. And now, Cade will do anything to earn it . . .


My thoughts on the book:

Hannah trust very few people in her life. It's easier for her to hide behind a computer screen then be honest about certain things, the biggest secret she hiding has proven that most people will run from her because of it she keeps things close to her heart and people at arms length. When she comes face to face with someone who just may be different she starts to question every wall she has put in place. The biggest one is can she trust him?
Cade is use to people using him and his heart being broken so when he meets Hannah she's safe and he knows nothing more can come of it. However he knows she lied to him and he starts to wonder if she's lying about anything else and if she can be trusted with his deepest secrets. 
This book is pretty intense with emotions and with sexual chemistry. The author held nothing back with these two at all while there was a lot of adult scenes in this book, the book was not souly that. The story line was well written and kept your attention through out. I think if I had to pick one thing about this book to change I wish for more light hearted situations like there was between Christina and pretty much anyone she interacted with in the book. It just added to who she was and added a fun element to the storyline. This book is HOT and heavy for sure. As I warn with most books like this, it may not be for everyone but its worth the read for the right person and you can't go wrong. Can't wait more from this group of books and I am so looking forward to reading Christina's story (hopefully soon).

The First Gift Ruth Logan Herne


Description:

Bringing to mind classics like Catherine Marshall’s Christy, society’s standards are put to the test and a Northern Appalachian town comes together to save a neglected child in Ruth Logan Herne’s new romance, The First Gift. This poignant novel tells the story of five-year-old Cassie Carruthers, who lives in a bug-infested shack in the hills of Western New York’s Southern Tier. Her mother has died and Cassie spends her days fending for herself while her alcoholic father drinks himself into a stupor. But Cassie’s isolation has not gone unnoticed in the tightknit community of Phillipsburg. When a concerned neighbor alerts the county, the community sets a plan in motion to rescue the neglected little girl. Through fundraising efforts, Cassie is tucked into the kindergarten classroom of independent, beautiful Kerry McHenry. Kerry has her work cut out for her in dealing with Cassie’s depressed father, but despite the child’s loveless start in life, she soon reveals herself to be an intelligent, eager student. Moreover, she possesses a resourcefulness that has saved her life more than once—and will be called upon again. Kerry McHenry is nobody’s fool. She sees her own tough upbringing in Cassie’s dire situation, so she works tirelessly to guide the young girl, trying to help her become everything that God wants her to be. At the same time, she finds herself torn between a commitment-phobic pediatric oncologist from a nearby town and Phillipsburg’s widowed deputy sheriff, a complicated man who is still angry with God. As the stakes grow ever higher and the characters’ lives intersect in unexpected ways, each will face a true test of faith—and come face to face with indisputable evidence of God’s love.


My thoughts on the book:

 Cassie is living a hard life at such a young age when a group of people set out to try and help all the know how to do. Kerry loves teaching but when she is given the task at helping a young child in need things from her own past out brought to the forefront. Jake has a beautiful family at home his only loss is his beloved wife and his mom and sister keep encouraging him to get out there, but he needs to deal with some bigger things first. 
I will start off saying I really loved the storyline of this book. The book gets to the matter of the heart in a lot of place and leaves you hoping for the best and holding your breath in some places. I did not like that there was so many characters and so many different view points I wish in a way that the story could have been told in the view points of less as it seemed to be confusing at some points. There are some very intense parts in this book and so very hard subject dealt with. Every time the point of Cassie came up my heart would just break for the little girl I was beyond in love with her little character. Over all I would say this book is worth the read and just connecting with each character may add an element to it, its worth it in the end.

Run to You Rachel Lacey Risking it all #1



Description:

ONE LITTLE LIE. A WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE.
Moments after meeting the most gorgeous guy ever, Gabby Winters promptly gets stung by a zillion yellowjackets and falls-not gracefully-into a stream. Yup, Ethan Hunter is trouble with a capital "hot," and Gabby definitely needs to keep her distance. Except in the small town of Haven, there's nowhere to hide from Ethan's sexy, infectious grin . . . and all the residents are conspiring against her.

At the center of the town's matchmaking is Ethan's grandmother, who's convinced their relationship is a done deal. Rather than break her heart, Gabby and Ethan find themselves cornered into pretending to be falling in love. The problem: there's serious sizzling attraction between them. And if this charade continues, they won't fool just the entire town - they might fool themselves too . . .



My thoughts on the book:

Gabby has gone to the mountains to find herself. She not looking for a relationship she just got out of one but when she stumbles onto the hottest guy she's ever seen of course she has to get stung by a ton of yellowjacks. When she falls she knows she needs to stay away from him but his sweet grandma seems to have other plans for the both of them. 
Ethen has a plan for his life and that is to keep the women close but there emotions far far away. He enjoys women and he enjoys the next adventure as well. He and his best friends have come home to open off the grid adventure and they plan to make the best of it. When Ethen gets some bad news he knows there is one way to help and he knows he method will not explode in his face its a fool proof plan. Or is it?
This book touches on some tough subjects over all self worth is a big factor on both main characters part. I really enjoyed how the author didn't leave anything off topic it seemed. The storyline is just amazing. The characters at some points felt so raw with emotions it felt like you were catching up with people you know. I loved Lance the puppy and his little personality and I just loved loved Dixie and I loved her old school personality. I felt however that the amount of strong language really took away from it over all it was just to much. There are some sex scenes in the book so this book is not for all ages.

Standing on the Edge of Goodbye, Mary Alford



What's the book about:
She gave up everything in the name of love and it almost cost Kate Alexander her life. Now alone and pregnant, Kate is desperate to reach the one person who matters most in her life. Her Grandmother Rachel.
After the death of his son, Matt Stevens checked out on life and God, but when Kate shows up at his doorstep desperate and sick, Matt finds himself wanting to help her. Is it just for Rachel’s sake? While he loved Rachel like a family member, lately since Kate’s entrance into his life, he finds himself thinking about things he’d written out of his life. Things like love and a future with Kate and her child.
Is it possible for two broken people to rebuild their lives and start over? Can Matt accept the second chance at happiness Kate can provide? Can Kate trust Matt when he tells her love isn’t supposed to hurt?

My thoughts on the book:
Kate feels like she is still on the run and she needs to get to her grandma the one person that keeps her grounded and matters the most to her. Matt is dealing with the lost of his son and he is not to happy when Kate shows up on his doorstep. But when Kate seems like she needs his help he reluctantly helps her but he wonders why. Will they be able to help each other or will a potential loss send them both in different directions?
I loved this book it was amazing. Its a quick read but pact for of adventure and an amazing story. I had a hard time putting this down for any reason. I found my self at the end wishing for more only because it was that good not because the book ended in a cliffhanger. I really enjoyed how the author wrote about some tough subjects but showed even in the midst of it all Kate continue to fight the battle she was given. Matt was a tough cookie sometimes I wanted to just smack him up side his head but other times I just loved the person he was becoming. There really was nothing about the book I did not like. You really can not go wrong with this fun clean read.

Drawn to Life Elisabeth Wagner


What's the book about:

Mia Lang always thought she could brave any storm, until a frightening turn of fate caused her to lose everything she once held dear—her best friend, her boyfriend, her career, and even her desire to live.

Hoping to heal her scars and find the will to face the world again, Mia embarks on an adventure across Europe by train. But when she meets Samuel Winter—on the run from his own troubled past—her whole world is turned upside down again. Perhaps this time, though, the pieces will fall where they’re meant to. Armed with the sort of courage that only comes from having nothing to lose, Mia is about to find out, in this beautiful story of resilience and discovery.

My thoughts on the book:
Mia is on a journey to find life and find her self or at least thats what she keeps telling her self and her family and friends, only theres on problems and it keeps following her no matter where she goes.
Samuel(Sam) he's on a journey of his own his needs to find who he is but he's hiding secret and he himself need to find closure he just doesn't know how or when that will help.
Alright my first thoughts on the book were its very graphic and written more as a journal/diary then a story. However as you read the story the pages seem to draw you in and you really want to find out what happens. i am not a big fan of first person stories, however with this book I will say that it did not disappoint and it became a on the edge of your seat type of book. I can say there is not a whole lot of chemistry but as you read you understand why, but what there is does a good job of drawing you in to the story its self. Over all I was not really disappoint with the book or the storyline is worth the read.

One Night with her Bachelor Kat Latham


What's the book about:
Bid on a date with this wounded warrior for an unforgettable night of adventure. Aim high—and bid higher!—because no one comes close to local hero Gabriel Morales.

Molly Dekker hates being the town charity case, but when her son Josh is seriously injured she has no choice. She lets her best friend organize a bachelor auction to help pay her massive bills and make Josh’s life more comfortable. She can’t bid on any of the men, but a surprise bidder gives her a gift she never expected: a date with the man who saved her son’s life—the only one she’s in danger of losing her heart to.

Former Air Force pararescueman Gabriel Morales made a career of flying to the rescue, until a tragic helicopter crash stole more than his livelihood. Being auctioned off like a slab of beef isn’t in his recovery plan. But one look, one touch and one night unlocking Molly’s pent-up passion makes him realize how badly he needs to be rescued…and how badly he wants to rescue Molly right back.

Will Molly and Gabriel’s never-quit attitude have them rushing head-first into love? Or will Gabriel’s secret pain stall their relationship before it can get off the ground?


My thoughts on the book:
At first I wondered why this was not the first book in the series. As it tells you a lot about what happened with Josh that the other books kind of left vega. Gabriel is hiding in the middle of now where fighting demons only he can win over, or so he thinks.  Josh is a free spirit who I am just forever am in love with. And oh Molly Molly, Molly she is a single mom who doesn't take well to people helping her out, when her world falls apart she starts and is forced to lean on people she never thought she would. 
I love this book, oh heck I love this series. I loved how this tired everything up for you and doesn't leave you with questions. I love how you get to catch up with the fun people and the crazy people of Marietta, if nothing more get all the books in the series Just so you can read this one because it will be work every bit of your time. (oh and Lily is back and this book she has a heart so big you just love her too)

Heartbreak Cove Lily Everett (Sanctuary Island Series)


What's the book about:
Welcome to a place where love is in the air, fate is in the stars, and home is just a heartbeat away…
Sheriff Andie Shepard may be new to Sanctuary Island but, like everyone else who comes here, she’s already fallen under its healing spell. Andie is determined to leave her mistakes behind her and make this scenic haven her home. But she just might have to change her plans—as well as open her heart—when an unexpected visitor shows up on her doorstep…

Heartbreak Cove

Caitlin is the ten-year-old niece Andie never knew she had. Silent, wary, and shy as can be, Caitlin only responds to the horses that run wild across the island. Andie has no idea how to deal with Caitlin—until Sam Brennan enters the picture. A tall, handsome loner who rehabilitates abused horses, Sam is able to help Caitlin break out of her shell. But that’s not all: He finds a way to touch something deep in Andie’s heart, opening her up to the healing power of love. Together, these three lost souls must face the darkness in their past to build a brighter future. Because here, on Sanctuary Island, anything is possible…

My thoughts on the book:
First off I rarely give books a five star rating, However this book truly does deserve it. I love the character in the book, I love how they feel more like catching up with a friend then just reading a story about fictional characters. In the beginning I wrote down that Andie was broken, but loved deeply, she was tough but had a soft spot. Sam was running from something but was also hiding from something, he also loved deeply but didn't always show it. When I finished the book I would have to that some of those where not that far off and thats what made the book what it was. The chemistry between the characters and I mean all the main ones will  keep you going from the beginning to the end. I also have to say this is one book I was not ready to stop reading at the end I just wanted to read so much more. I can not wait for Owen's story to come out. This book will not disappoint at all if you are looking for a fun read that has you going through the whole book this is the book for you.

The Bachelor's Baby Dani Collins


What's the book about:
Your date with Bachelor #3 includes champagne and chocolate in the limo that collects you, a helicopter tour of Marietta and the surrounding mountains and valleys, and dinner at a five star restaurant in Great Falls. While oil baron Linc Brady wines and dines you, a main service will completely clean your home.
Who could resist this tempting offer, but Meg Canon plans to do just that. She is only home to clean out her childhood bedroom for her brother’s new step-daughter and then she’s outta her childhood small town and back to her life in Chicago, but when she meets the sexy, renegade millionaire while she’s stuck in the snow, sparks fly and Meg is tempted to maybe stay a little longer.
Linc Brady is new in town and happy to help a kid in need, but this? Technically he doesn’t owe Meg a damned thing after she bids on him, after setting him up for the Marietta bachelor auction in the first place, but her high-class city polish is his fatal weakness and makes her impossible to forget. When she agrees to come home with him, he makes it clear he’s a confirmed bachelor. This is a one-night thing. One night that turns into nine months and maybe a lifetime…?
My thoughts on the book:
 Linc is new to Marietta, when he's headed into town he pulls over to help Meg, who grow up in Marietta and is home "escaping". Things don't go good that first meeting, but later on when they run into each other things get really interesting. The chemistry in the book between the characters comes on strong from the beginning. The story builds from there. I can't say it keeps you guessing through the whole book but its definitely sizzling through the whole book.  Meg works hard to remember whats important which to her is to find where she comes from and whats important to her which is family I think in the end, she finds something far more interesting and more important that she realizes thats been under her nose and she didn't realize it, but in the process found a lot more. This love story is short and sweet but just like the other books in the series is worth the read.

Caught in the Act (The Davenports #2) Kim Law


What's the book about:
Catherine Davenport Carlton needs a break. After dedicating her life to her political-minded family, shocking scandals from the past have shaken her to her core. Summer in the quiet town of Dyersport, Maine, is just what she needs, especially with a super-hot neighbor right next door…who’s none other than Brody Hollister, the boy she fell in love with as a teen. Cat wants nothing more than to pick up right where they left off eighteen years ago, but she’s still haunted by a terrible secret that could devastate Brody.

Brody Hollister spent years pining over Cat Davenport. They met young and loved passionately—until she disappeared from his life. Now she’s back, as spirited and beautiful as ever. But while Brody is determined to help Cat free herself from her family’s drama, his own family may be hiding something that could ruin their rekindled romance for good.

In Book Two of the Davenports romance series, sex and politics collide…with passionate results.
My thoughts on the book:

Catherine (Cat) loses her husband four years ago and she is ready to find herself again. So off to “vacation” she goes, she heads to Maine to where her family vacationed when she was younger. She loves everything about Maine it feels like coming home, all but one thing.

She is renting a beach house and every morning to spies on her really hot neighbor while he is out for his run. Only Brody wants to know why Cat is back and what happened all that time ago.  Brody has worked really hard to become the person he is and avoid certain family members who may make him or break him. This book starts off slow for me I had a hard time really getting into it at first but once the book picks up about a third way through it becomes a book that is hard to put down. I will say there are some slow points in the book again but overall the book keeps your attention and leaves you wanting more. This book has some strong language but for the most part, it’s quite mild and doesn’t overwhelm. This book is well worth the read.

Intensive Care Nicki Edwards


What's the book about:
On the surface it looks like busy intensive care nurse Kate Kennedy has it all: a long-term relationship, a great career and a sleek inner city apartment. But appearances are deceiving, and in one fell swoop everything comes crashing down around her. In a moment of spontaneity, Kate leaves her city life and takes a new role as Nurse Unit Manager at Birrangulla Base Hospital, but her dream move proves harder than expected.

Local café owner Joel O'Connor finds himself increasingly drawn to the gorgeous new nurse, but like Kate, he's been scarred by love and isn't looking to jump into anything. Yet their chemistry is hard to deny and after a near fatal incident, Joel and Kate find themselves opening up to one another.


Just when Kate thinks she's found love again, their fragile relationship is thwarted by their pasts. Can they both let go of their guilt and grief to move on to a bright new future?
My thoughts on the book:

This book is based in Australia it really make you want to visit and see the beauty that is described in the book. In the book Kate seems to have everything going for her, she is a nurse and she loves her job she has great family and friends and a boyfriend who she is madly in love with.  When she gets a shock of her life her first thing to do is run. She runs for anything and everything that seems not familiar. She meets Joel and becomes friends with him he is hide a secret and he to in his heart and mind is running from something, but doesn’t seem to realize it until Kate falls into his world.

I will stay this I wish the book had to prospective from it not just one (back and forth between what the guy was thinking to what the girl was thinking). At the beginning I felt like it seem a little all over the place, however that quickly changed. The book keeps you guessing and you really do find yourself drawn in and wanting to know what’s going to happen and what’s happening. I love how the book had a lot of heart and that the storyline over all was really good and well written. This book will not disappoint at some point I thought the book was winding down only to have a curve ball thrown in. If you are looking for a really cute love story with a little bit of action this is the one for you, you won’t regret it. I hope there are more to come this is one author I want to read more from.

The Millionaire Victoria Purman



What's the book about:
Renowned photographer Chris Malone is fed up with fame and disaster. All he wants is anonymity and a chance to recharge. Suburban journalist Ellie Flannery has other ideas. If she can just convince her long-time idol to support her favorite cause, she knows her fund-raiser will be a huge success.

After refusing at first, Chris decides to co-operate. When he’s forced to defend his own reputation as well as his family’s, he decides he wants something from the idealistic and sexy-but-doesn’t-know-it Ms Flannery Ellie in return: her heart.

But Ellie has scars that no one has ever seen, and she doesn’t want to open herself up to anyone, much less a man with such an unflinching eye for the truth. Can Chris convince her to strip herself bare, in more ways than one?

My thoughts on the book:
I have to say that I really like this book, its the fourth book in the series and its end in such a sweet way. You have Ellie she is a spit fire who is all about family, friends and helping everyone else. She is running to love and not such a big fun of her job. Then you have Chris he's running for everything and just wants to spend his "holiday" doing his second love. When he run into Ellie everything seems to not be going his way. He has a heart for people and loves helping others, but he has become some what jaded doing his first love, or the question is has he? In this book it keep you going and the storyline is so well written it shows the love for others while in hopes of trying to find themselves. I really liked this book a lot.
Book 1: The Cowboy by Margareta Osborn
Book 2: The Hero by Amy Andrews
Book 3: The Playboy by Madeline Ash
 Book 4: The Millionaire by Victoria Purman
 Don’t let the names of the books fool you they are not self-absorbed characters that you will end up fed up with or annoyed by this book and the others are totally worth the read.

Will say there is strong language in this book.

I love this book, Why the main character struggles to find her worth and struggles with letting go of the past and moving to the feature to find the love of her life. will she take to long to find what she's looking for a loose whats in front of her? All while her best friend has found love. This author gets to the heart of the matter right away as the book is no more the 120 pages or so but the story it self is amazing.

The Amish Blacksmith Mindy Starns Clark and Susan Meissner




What's the book about:

New from bestselling authors Mindy Starns Clark and Susan Meissner, The Amish Blacksmith (Book 2 in The Men of Lancaster County series) explores the men of an Amish community in Lancaster County, how their Amish beliefs play out in their unique roles, and the women who change their lives.

Apprenticed blacksmith Jake Miller is skeptical of Priscilla Kinsinger’s innate ability to soothe troubled horses, especially when he has own ideas on how to calm them. Six years earlier, Priscilla’s mother died in an awful accident at home, and Priscilla’s grief over losing her mother was so intense that she was sent to live with relatives in Indiana. She has just returned to Lancaster County.



Not that her homecoming matters to Jake, who is interested in courting lighthearted Amanda Shetler. But Jake’s boss is Priscilla’s uncle, and when the man asks Jake to help his niece reconnect with community life, he has no choice but to do just that. Surprisingly, he finds himself slowly drawn to the beautiful but emotionally wounded Priscilla.

Jake then determines to prove to her that it’s not her fault her mother died, but what he discovers will challenge everything they both believe about the depth of love and the breadth of forgiveness.
 
My Thoughts on the book:
 I have to say I really like this book, The interaction with each and everyone of the characters is really amazing. I am not one who likes so much detail that it takes away from the storyline its self. At first I felt that this book was heading that way, there is a lot of details but the more I read on I felt like everyone of those details make since in the end. The book is intense at times but it just make you keep wanting to read on to see what is going to happen. I really had a hard time putting the book down it was a really fun storyline. Also it teaches you a little bit about the Amish, I just love the simple life of the Amish and to get loss into the simpleness of there lives even if its just fiction its fun. This book is worth the read as well as worth the buy, from the beginning of the book to the end of the book it grabs you and holds you there. If you are looking for a fun book the you will not want to put down this would be the book. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.


I was given a copy of this book from netgalley for my honest review.

Shaken (Heart of a Warrior series) Kariss Lynch




What the Book is about:
When her world is shaken, will her foundation survive?
Idealistic and sheltered with a passion to change the world, Kaylan Richards leaves her comfortable life in Alabama to serve in poverty-stricken Haiti. Despite her inexperience and the opposition of a voodoo priest, Kaylan develops a love for the country and the Haitian people. But something deadly is about to strike.

It is the worst earthquake the country has ever seen, and in its aftermath bodies, buildings, and broken lives litter the streets. People she cares about are dead, and Kaylan is caught in the middle of the destruction, questioning a God who said He was good.

Navy SEAL Nick Carmichael never planned to find a girl he loved more than his country. Now she is a world away, trapped in a deadly situation nothing could have prepared her for. Can Nick’s love help Kaylan heal and show her the God who never abandoned her, or will tragedy shake even the most rooted faith?
 
 
My Thoughts on the book:
 First off let me start off by saying that the book is broken up into 4 parts and so I wanted to break up my review into the same four parts, however the whole book is just that good I didn't want to do that I feel like I would be taking the book apart to much . In first Kaylan and Sarah Beth(BFF) graduate college a semester early and decide its there turns to take on the world, well at least Hati, so Kaylan has the daunting task of telling her parents her plan, but before that can happen her past has come back and now she is having 2nd thoughts about everything. Her and Sarah have a bond that Kaylan can turn to Sarah as a sister and ask her for anything or help her with anything they are like 2 peas in a pod. I had the hardest time putting this book down it was amazing it keeps you wanting for more and just want to put life on hold for a few hours just to read this book. From the very first page to the very last page the momentum of the story does not stop. This book hand down would get 8 stars if I could give it that. If you are ready to read a book that keeps you wanting more this is your book I would have to say I could easily compare where righting and hold you in the book style to Dee Henderson.I cant think of one negative thing to say about it.

Forever Amish Kate Lloyd




About the Book:
Sally Bingham needs some time away to sort through the changes in her life and to rethink her upcoming marriage. Despite her ailing father’s hesitations, she takes off for a bed and breakfast in Lancaster County for a weekend away. But her best-laid plans leave her in a near collision with a bishop’s buggy and in the home of a mysterious Amish woman named Lizzie. Lizzie introduces her to a different perspective on life, a charming farmhand named Armin— and opens a Pandora’s box that will forever change Sally’s life. The latest book in the Legacy of Lancaster trilogy, Forever Amish introduces us to a young woman about to uncover a shocking secret and find an invitation to a new way of living. This is a story of forgiveness, legacies, and the ties that bind through generations.
My thoughts on the book:
This book is ultimately about forgiveness, and how lying can really do a lot more harm then good. I found this book captivating. The book grabs you and keeps you wanting more. It is told from one person side but the author manages to tell everyone's story, and does an amazing job doing so. I just love Amrin he's there but not really and then catches you and you are so intrigued by him you just want to know so much more. As Sally struggles with her past and find her future she struggles with her present to. Sally struggles with forgiveness, abandonment, and her own self worth when she receives an email from someone that take her to a place she is always drawn to but can't figure out why. Sally struggles to figure out who she is and finds that the people closest to her may not be who she always thought they were. I just love the emotions of the characters and how she did not portray the Amish and better then or flawless but just a broken as the rest of us. The author did a good job with this book I would recommend it to anyone, but I think this would be a good book for a preteen or teenager.
