Five simple words: That’s all it takes to change the course of 18-year-old Josie Graham’s life in the summer of 1989.
<br />
<br />Josie is a musical prodigy: She can sing, play guitar and is a
natural on the piano. Instead of spending her last summer before college
traveling the country with her rock star father, she’s made a last
minute decision to spend it working at her Aunt Bernie’s inn, in
Ambler’s Fork, North Carolina. But what could have turned her life-long
passion for music into a hatred for an industry she’s worked so hard to
get into?
<br />
<br />Her aunt’s inn seems like the perfect place to escape, to clear her
head and figure things out, but on her first day there, she almost
drowns before Chic Hobbs saves her.
<br />
<br />Chic wants nothing more in life than to leave Ambler’s Fork and his
sordid past behind—at least not until that day Josie Graham swims into
his life. The problem is, Chic’s got a secret. It’s a secret he’s
keeping from Josie, and he’s worried if it gets out, it’ll ruin
everything, and she’ll judge him for his past mistakes the way everyone
else in town has.
<br />
<br />Josie is carrying a burden of her own. One that made her run to
Ambler’s Fork – away from her family and everything she’s ever known.
<br />
<br />Chic saved Josie once. Can he save her again? Or will Josie rescue him this time?</i><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";"></span></i></span>Shannon McCrimmon's 7th novel, <i>It Started with a Whisper</i>, takes place at
a North Carolina lake resort during the summer of 1989. Josie, hiding a
secret, decides to work at her Aunt Bernie's inn instead of going on
tour with her rock star father. Chic is the boy who literally saves
Josie's life (and steals her heart) on her first day there. Chic is
fighting his own demons as he works for Bernie and also helps his father
at the family canoe livery. Together the two embark on their blossoming
relationship and tackle saving Bernie's floundering inn and in return
Chic's father's canoe business.<br />
<br />
<i>It Started with a Whisper</i> is a
wonderfully written tale of love, redemption, and forgiveness. I enjoyed
watching the relationship between Josie and Chic unfold. What started
as two people not looking for love grew into a story of Josie and Chic
helping the each other deal with their unresolved issues. McCrimmon did a
wonderful job with character development. Each character, even minor
ones,were fully developed. I also enjoyed watching the mystery of Chic's
father unfold. Throughout the whole novel Chic's father was hard and
unforgiving. He openly judged Chic and the choices he had made. However,
when his father's backstory was revealed he became more human.<br />
<br />
My
favorite relationship in the novel was between Chic and his brother
Dunny. Dunny was Chic's older brother yet mentally he was like a 3rd
grader. Dunny loves Star Wars, comic books and music. Chic was Dunny's
protector, friend, and brother. Their relationship was endearing and
wonderful to read about.<br />
<br />
Shannon McCrimmon's<i> It Started with a
Whisper </i>is a wonderfully heartwarming read. It's full of highly likable
characters, a realistic plot, and a perfect ending! Here's hoping for a
sequel!!!!!

<i>QUINN IS BACK and pushing the limits on it all -- suspense, sex, love,
gut-wrenching emotions -- with a fiery intense conclusion to his and
Lexi's story. The more Alexis runs, the harder Quinn fights for her.
<br />
<br />It's an undeniable truth; bad things happen to good people, and Lexi
is not impervious to the realities of the life she left behind.
<br />
<br />Keeping Lexi safe at all cost, Quinn remains unwavering in his
duties, constantly putting his life on the line, time and time again.
<br />
<br />Two tortured souls are pushed to the edges of their sanity and their
love will be put to the test. Tempers flare, emotions burst, and love
flickers, but after the ultimate explosion, can forgiveness be found
amongst the rubble?
<br />
<br />Alexis needs Quinn more than ever...and Quinn must decide if Lexi is
truly his fate or if their romance was never meant to survive beyond
his mission. One thing is for certain: neither Quinn nor Alexis will be
the same after surfacing from the mountain trails. Now that they've
survived the wild, can they survive each other?

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Quinn and Quinn II</i>, by JC Cliff, are the first two novels in her
<i>Undaunted Men</i> Series. These suspenseful and sensual romance novels take
place on a trail in the Appalachian Mountains. Quinn is retired from the Military and runs his own investigative company with his best friends. <i>Quinn </i>starts when he gets an unwanted call from someone he
had once done a job for he automatically says no. He wants nothing to do with Tony Moretti, the head of a Mob empire. He is not one to get
involved in mob affairs and he in no way wants to be put in the middle
of two mob families fighting. However, when Quinn hears the problem he can't ignore that Lexi, the
'mob princess' has gone underground and disappeared in the wilderness of the Appalachian Mountains with no
warning. Knowing that things could go very wrong, Quinn takes the job. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lexi
stays out of all Mob business. She's leads a regular life and tries to
forget who her family is and what they are involved in. However, when she finds herself set up for a
murder that she didn't commit and then blackmailed to marry the guilty, Lexi is beside herself. When the opportunity is presented for her to
disappear in the mountains she runs with it. Nevermind that she knows
nothing of hiking, snakes, starting fires, bears, etc. After a day in she realizes how much she is in over her head. When a stranger
named Quinn happens upon her and offers to help her get where she's
going, Lexi feels like he is a gift from above. However, Quinn and Lexi
aren't prepared for the instant chemistry or onset of emotions that
follow as they are with each other, and only each other, for such a long
period of time in the mountains. Each secret they keep threaten to tare them apart. As danger approaches, they must decide
where their loyalties lie. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Quinn II</i> follows Quinn and Lexi out
of the mountains as they are thrust into a reality neither want. They find themselves in the middle of a Mob War with repercussions for every step they took and continue to take.
Sacrificing herself to save Quinn, Lexi does the unforgivable. Quinn is
devastated, and loses all faith in Lexi. Is there anything she can do to
win Quinn's forgiveness? Will she ever be able to forgive herself?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">J.C.
Cliff does a fantastic job of weaving a steamy and heartbreaking story together that revolves around characters she truly makes us care deeply for. There are times
I wanted to smack both Quinn and Lexi for their errors in judgment, but
the end of the novel made up for their mistakes. I can't wait to read
the next book in J.C. Cliff's <i>Undaunted Men</i> series. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"> </span></span></span><br />

<i><b>What he wants, he takes with no remorse or guilt.</b><br /> <b> </b><br />
She stood out in his club like a gem, unspoiled and untouched. A lamb
among wolves, she clearly didn’t belong. Drawn to her innocence he
watched as she was surrounded by men who saw what he did—but no one but
him could touch her. He summoned her to his private quarters. He sensed
her fear. He also recognized the desire in her eyes. And he knew she
wouldn’t leave before he possessed her. She had no need to know his
secrets. Not until he had her under his complete and utter control.<br /> <b> </b><br /> <b>What he wants, she isn’t sure she can give him.</b><br /> <b> </b><br />
The moment he told her want he wanted, she couldn’t resist. Instinct
told her to run, but her heart said stay and walk the fine line between
pleasure and pain. Though she wasn’t sure she could ever completely
surrender, the primal part of her wanted to try, even knowing this man
could break her in ways she never imagined. Because once he possessed
her, he owned her and it would be too late to turn back. She can only
pray that he doesn’t destroy her in the end.</i><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i></span></div>

Evangeline is a timid Southern girl with a heart of gold who is living in New York City. Splitting rent in a tiny apartment with her three best friends, Evangeline sends every extra penny she earns at a local pub home to her disabled parents. Everything she has done in her life has been to help support them. She dropped out of high school and earned her GED so she could work two jobs, passed on college, ignored boys, and moved to NYC for an opportunity to earn more money for them. However, when smooth talking Eddie charms his way into Evangeline's heart, she becomes distraught when he drops her after the challenge of being the first to get in her bed is over. What starts out as a fun night at a popular club to show Eddie what he carelessly threw away and to get her mojo back quickly changes Evangeline's whole world.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">Drake is a mysterious badass businessman who not only owns the club Evangeline walks into but many other things as well. Drake is not one to be messed with, and everyone in the city knows. Much of his business dealings are not exactly on the 'up and up.' Drake surrounds himself with a group of dangerous men who work for him and he trusts inexplicably. Drake immediately zones in on Evangeline when she walks into his club. Seeing the beautiful and innocent woman among the rich and jaded makes him want to get her out of his business as soon as possible. Once Drake meets Evangeline in person he realizes that she is not someone he can stay away from. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";"><i>Mastered</i> takes readers on a wild ride as Evangeline tries to fit into Drake's strange and affluent world. Everything about Drake's world is opposite of what Evangeline knows. The money, the clothes, the jewelry, the restaurants- Evangeline feels out of her element at every turn. Even more bizarre to Evangeline is what Drake asks of her in return. Is she able to give herself to him completely- heart, body, and control?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">One of my favorite things about <i>Mastered</i> is Evangeline's relationships with Drake's men. Each 'enforcer' is an intimidating badass who happens to be hot. However, after five minutes with Evangeline and they turn into sweet boys. She charms the uncharmable with her innocence, goodness, humor, and baking! I'm excited to read each 'enforcers' own story as <i>The Enforcers</i> series continues with the men. </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"></span> <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif";">If you are
looking for a scorching and edgy read, Maya Banks' <i>Mastered</i> is for you. I found it to be a quick read because
I couldn't put it down! I am eagerly awaiting the release of her second book in <i>The Enforcers</i> series, <i>Dominated</i> to see what happens with Evangeline and Drake. <i>Mastered</i> ends with a sort of cliff hanger so I am impatient to see where their story takes them! </span></span></div>

<i>When you’re a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how
hard life can be, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be
harder. I, Jake Becker, have a reputation for being cold, callous, and
intimidating—and that suits me just fine. In fact, it’s necessary when
I’m breaking down a witness on the stand.<br /> <br />Complications don’t
work for me—I’m a “need-to-know” type of man. If you’re my client, tell
me the basic facts. If you’re my date, stick to what will turn you on.
I’m not a therapist or Prince Charming—and I don’t pretend to be.<br /> <br />Then
Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and
complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I’m going to Mommy
and Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room, and arguing
cases in the principal’s office.<br /> <br />Chelsea’s too sweet, too
innocent, and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be tough, but
she’s not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids.<br /> <br />And that—that, I know how to do.</i></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span style="line-height: 115%;">Sustained</span></i><span style="line-height: 115%;">, by Emma Chase, is part of her <i>Legal Briefs </i>Series. At first I was worried because I had not read the first book in the series, <i>Overruled. </i>However, I quickly realized that <i>Sustained</i> can be read as a stand alone novel, as it centers around a friend of the main characters from <i>Overruled</i>. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><i>Sustained </i>revolves around Jake Becker, who I instantly felt disdain towards. A top notch defense attorney, Jake is also a womanizing asshole who lives for one night stands with no strings attached. However, my feelings for him quickly change as he finds himself at the house of Chelsea, a 26 year old who has found herself as the guardian of her 6 nieces and nephews after her brother and his wife were tragically killed. Jake doesn't do emotions, relationships, kids, or attachment. However, the more time he spends with Chelsea and the rambunctious group of kids, the more he finds his cold heart warming. What follows is not only a steamy romance, it is also a heartwarming story of acceptance, guidance, and family.</span></span></div>

<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Emma Chase's <i>Sustained </i>is full of 3 dimensional characters. I could practically see the selfish Jake grow as a man and a role model as the book unfolded. While I LOVED the relationship that formed between Jake and Chelsea, I think what I loved even more was Jake's relationship with the children: Riley, Rosaleen, Rory, Raymond, Regan, and Ronan. These 6 young kids had their world turned upside down with loss and emotional trauma. They were acting out enough to make any person run for the hills, however Jake sees himself in them and finds himself cultivating relationships with each and every child. Chase's book has it all: love, sex, comedy, and feel good moments. At times laugh out loud funny, <i>Sustained </i>is also full of emotions with plenty of places to shed a tear.</span></span></div>

<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Emma Chase's <i>Sustained </i>is a book that I 110% recommend. The characters will quickly find a place in your heart and you will be left wishing for more from the Becker and McQuaid clan. I've already ordered my copy of Chase's <i>Overruled </i>because of my love for her writing and character development and can't wait to read the 3rd book in her <i>Legal Briefs Series, Appealed.</i> </span></span></div>

<i>Melody Fitzgerald is the opposite of the “perfect” daughter. The lead
singer of an indie rock band, she is impulsive and creative, with a
rebellious streak that both defines her and becomes her greatest enemy.
Her lover, the enticing and unpredictable Ash, shares her free spirit
and penchant for trouble. On the face of it, he seems to be her perfect
match.<br /> <br />So why is she so drawn to her soft spoken, reliable
drummer, Brad Witmer? How can a man who wears polo shirts and reads the
financial section of the paper be of any interest to her at all? And why
on earth does someone like that appear to be so captivated by her?<br /> <br />Before
she knows it, Melody finds herself on a path of self-discovery,
passion, and affairs of the heart. But will a dark secret from her past
derail it all? Or will its exposure be the very thing that unburdens her
heart and allows her to seek a future with the one man who loves her
completely?</i><br />

story to her New York Times Best Selling book <i>Just One Night.<span> </span>Just One Lie</i>
is definitely a stand-alone book, as it is the first book I have read of Davis’.<span> </span>However, after reading it I will definitely
be reading <i>Just One Night </i>this
summer!</span></span><br />

</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="line-height: 115%;">Just One Lie </span></i><span style="line-height: 115%;">centers on Mercy/Melody, a troubled
singer in an independent rock band.<span> </span>Melody
is a loner who has done it all.<span> </span>Her life
has literally been drugs, sex, and rock and roll. However, things changed for
her more than a year ago.<span> </span>She fell in
love after a one night stand with a mystery man, Ash, that changed her life
forever and led to a severing of ties with her parents.<span> </span>Melody felt that that one night killed her
emotionally and physically.<span> </span>She changed
her name to Mercy and found herself in a new city.<span> </span>Mercy gave up the hardcore drugs and became
clean from the drugs for the first time in years.<span> </span>She formed a new band, hid her past, and had
been taking it one day at a time.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">All of the
effort Mercy put in to forget ‘Melody’ and her previous life comes crashes down
around her. Mercy finds herself reeling after Ash shows up to her New Year’s
Eve show speaking of forgiveness and soul mates.<span> </span>Knowing all that she knows, Mercy still can’t
stay away from Ash.<span> </span>She keeps a huge
secret from him that would undoubtedly change their relationship.<span> </span>What unfolds is a complicated love story filled
with ups and downs, shocks and plain craziness.<span> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Added to Ash
and Mercy’s complex relationship is the fact that Mercy is starting to have
feelings for her new drummer.<span> </span>Brad is
not someone she ever thought she would be attracted to.<span> </span>He looks like an All American boy, not a
drummer in a Rock Band.<span> </span>However, he
listens to her and she finds herself opening up to him more and more.<span> </span>They seem to connect, and this both scares
and fascinates Mercy.<span> </span>She has never
known anyone like Brad, someone that would care about her wholeheartedly and
not judge her for her past or present.</span></span></div>

Eve </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;"> 1999 until present day.<span> </span>Readers are
able to watch Mercy grow and bloom, as well as witness her self-destructive tendencies
come to the forefront and be dealt with.<span>
</span>I absolutely adored this story.<span>
</span>The characters were relatable and multifaceted. <span> </span>I found myself rooting for Mercy throughout
the book, wanting her to follow her North Star and embrace who she was. As I
mentioned earlier, you do NOT need to read <i>Just
One Night </i>in order to enjoy <i>Just One
Lie.<span> </span></i>I plan on picking up <i>Just One Night</i> just because I enjoyed
Mercy’s story so much as well as Davis’ writing.<span> </span>She knows how to write a gritty, intoxicatingly
sexy, coming of age story that kept me wanting more up until the last page. <i>Just One Lie</i> should most definitely be
on your Summer 2015 ‘To Be Read’ list! <span> </span>I
know you will enjoy it as much as I did!</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<i>Pragmatic, independent Lily St. Claire has never been a beachgoer. But
when her late father leaves her a small house on Hideaway Key—one
neither her mother nor she knew he owned—she’s determined to visit the
sleepy spit of land along Florida’s Gulf Coast. Expecting a quaint
cottage, Lily instead finds a bungalow with peeling shutters and
mountains of memorabilia. She also catches a glimpse of the architect
who lives down the beach….<br /><br />But it’s the carton of old journals
in the front room that she finds most intriguing. The journals were
written by her mother’s sister, an infamous beauty whose name has long
been banned from the St. Claire home. The journals tell a family tale
Lily has never heard, of her mother and her aunt as young girls in
Tennessee and the secrets that followed them into adulthood. As she
reads, Lily gains a new understanding: about her family and about
herself. And she begins to open her heart—to this place, these people,
and the man next door. But can she ever truly learn to trust, to believe
that love is not a trap but a harbor? And is it true that hearts, even
broken ones, can be forged anew?</i><div id="outer_postBodyPS" style="height: auto; overflow: hidden; z-index: 1;">

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I have
always been a lover of Women’s Fiction for the pure ‘realness’ of the story. I
love the feeling I get when I read about a character and feel connected to her,
like she is just as real as I, knowing that the struggles she is going through
are struggles that so many other women face, and finally seeing the personal
growth the she goes through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barbara
Davis’ <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Summer at Hideaway Key </i>has all
of these characteristics and MORE. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Summer at Hideaway Key</span></i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> centers around Lily and her deceased
Aunt, Lily-Mae.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lily never met her aunt,
as Lily-Mae’s name was basically a curse word to her mother, Caroline. Lily
never understood the animosity that was obviously between Caroline and her
sister, and neither Caroline nor Lily’s father ever spoke of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lily-Mae remained a mystery in Lily’s life.
However, all of that changed when Lily’s father died and left Lily-Mae’s
Florida bungalow to her in his will.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Caroline is furious and insists that Lily dispose of it immediately, but
something tells Lily that this may be the one and only chance she gets answers
regarding her family history. Why else would her father leave it to her? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I love how <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Summer at Hideaway Key</i> is told from the
view of Lily and Lily-Mae. Lily-Mae is definitely my favorite character. Her
story is up front and center and Lily-Mae finds a voice through her journals
which Lily stumbles upon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In these
journals Lily learns of horribly unspeakable things that happened to Lily-Mae,
as well as her mother. Lily-Mae had a horribly sad life, with just bits of
happiness mixed in. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>However, no matter
what the consequences, Lily-Mae always put the needs and happiness of others in
front of her own. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As more of Lily-Mae
and Caroline’s past comes to light, the more questions that Lily finds herself
asking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is definitely a good deal
of mystery in Davis’ novel, as well as many twists and turns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was shocked to find out how <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Summer at Hideaway Key </i>concluded.</span></div>

touching novel, with romance and mystery mixed in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a novel that truly resonated with me
and I believe it will with you as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Enjoy!

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Determined to overcome her difficult past, Anna Starr lands a coveted
job at the nation's biggest celebrity magazine in the center of the New
York City power scene. She learns early on to make it on her own, and
through sheer force of will she does. But frustration sets in when the
dark side of tabloid journalism starts to poke through, and she gets
duped while dating slicker-than-thou city boys. Amidst a sea of
cocktail parties, Anna meets rising art star Damien Wolfe. Their
connection is dangerous, intense, and passionate beyond her imagination.
He sees her in a way that she has never seen herself, setting her on a
journey toward self-discovery-understanding what it means to be truly
loved for the first time in her life. But she may lose it all when her
blind ambition and his dark past lead to a crisis that changes

unemployed, pregnant, and relying on Evie and Finch for a place to live.
She is trying to survive. Nothing seems to be going right for her until
Preston Dobbins steps into her life and an unexpected gift comes her
way, finally giving her a chance at happiness. Preston Dobbins is
fighting his strong feelings for Katie McDaniels. He guards a well-kept
secret, one that consumes him with guilt. As an old foe threatens
Katie's happiness, Preston risks everything to save her from tragedy.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></i></div>

<![endif]--><i>This is Where We Begin </i>is the third novel in Shannon
McCrimmon's <i>Hearts of Haines </i>series. The first two novels in the series,
<i>Kiss Me Hard Before You Go </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">(my
review) </span>and <i>Like All Things Beautiful </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">(my review) </span>centered around Evie, Finch and their love story. We
met Katie, Evie's best friend, in the first two books as a supporting
character. However, in <i>This is Where We Begin </i>Katie, who is towards the
end of her pregnancy, takes center stage as she struggles to build a new life
for herself and her unborn child.
<br />

<div class="Body">
Katie left her family home after her father, a shady man who basically
runs the town, was extremely unsupportive regarding her pregnancy. After the
father of her baby abandoned her, Katie knew that being a single mother would
not be easy but she was determined to prove everyone in the little town of
Haines that she could do it. She leaned a lot on Evie during the first two
books, but in <i>This is Where We Begin </i>Katie has a couple of good things
happen to her. Excited at the chance to give her baby the best life possible, Katie
embraces her luck and moves into her own house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Fortunately for her, ex-carny Doris also moves in with her in order to
both be more independent and to help Katie. </div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This is Where We Begin </i>is
told from the viewpoint of both Katie and Preston. Preston is a hometown farm boy
who moved away and became a Federal Drug Enforcement Administrative Agent. In
the first two books it seems that Preston and Katie have a connection. He does
not visit much, but when he does there is a visible spark. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In <i>This is Where We Begin </i>we learn much
more about Preston. While he is a bit older than Katie, Preston enjoys being
around Katie and feels very protective of her. When he is in town on work business
or just visiting his parents, Preston finds ways to see her. Soon it is evident
that their relationship has progressed into something more than friendship.
While Katie is ready to embrace what they share, Preston fights it every step
of the way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not until later in the
novel that we discover why Preston is so skittish.</div>

<i>Emma Moss still has nightmares about the horrors she and her sister saw
that summer night. Her sister has not been seen or heard from since, but
Emma refuses to believe that she’s truly gone, and continues to search
for her. However, she’s running out of resources, and running out of
ideas. So when a stranger calls out of nowhere claiming to have
information for her, she doesn’t hesitate to go meet him. Nikulas
Kreek is a six hundred year old vampire, and he knows a secret about
the Moss girls; a secret he soon realizes that even Emma herself is
unaware of. A secret that can help them both. But what he didn’t expect,
was the blood hunger that would assail him upon meeting her, and the
internal fight he would have to resist it. Now bound together by more
than just their cause, Emma and Nik set out on a rescue mission. Will
they be able to get to there in time? And will Nikulas be able to fight
his instincts, and leave Emma to live her human life in peace? Or will
he be bound to make her his for all eternity?</i><div id="outer_postBodyPS" style="height: auto; overflow: hidden; z-index: 1;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Blood Hunger,</i> Book One in L.E. Wilson's <i>Deathless Night
</i><span>Series<i>, </i></span>fits perfectly
into the paranormal genre with a touch of suspense and a whole lot of romance. Emma,
the female protagonist, leads a very mundane life: work, exercise, work, home
late, shower, dinner, TV, bed, repeat.<span> </span>Emma
is all alone in the world after her sister, Keira, was brutally kidnapped in
front of her seven years earlier. All Emma has left are nightmares and scars
(both physical and emotional) from surviving the ordeal. Emma believes that
Keira is still alive, but after seven years her trail has run cold and the
police have written her disappearance off as a bear attack. <span> </span>Emma knows otherwise but has run out of places
to turn.<span> </span>However, everything changes
when Emma is contacted by a mysterious someone who says he has information
about Keira's kidnapping.<span> </span>Emma jumps at
the chance of finding her sister and decides she will do whatever it takes to
bring her back home, no matter the consequences. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">That mysterious someone turns out to be Nikulas, a powerful
vampire who happens to be the second in command of a Vampire colony, right
behind his brother.<span> </span>Seven years earlier his
brother, Luukas, disappeared after going to confront an enemy vampire.<span> </span>Nik believes that the disappearance of Keira
is somehow connected to the vanishing of Luukas and in order to find them both
he needs Emma to help.<span> </span>However, working
against him is the fact that Emma has no idea what he is, or what she is for
that matter.<span> </span></span></div>

are in fact real as well.<span> </span>Perhaps even
more distressing to Emma is finding out that Keira is a witch, which by default
makes Emma a witch too.<span> </span>Emma and Nik
enter into an understanding and go full steam ahead in their plan to rescue
their siblings.<span> </span>What neither of them expects
is the strong chemistry they feel towards each other.<span> </span>What follows is a suspenseful adventure full
of romance, intrigue, and action. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I enjoyed <i>Blood Hunger</i>;
it was both a quick read and a fun book to lose myself in.<span> </span>I loved the spunkiness of Emma; she was an
interesting female character that was both strong and brave. My second favorite
character was definitely Aiden, Nik<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";">’</span>s guardian.<span> </span>When scenes were getting heavy all it took
was a one liner from Aiden to make me chuckle.<span>
</span>Aiden definitely has a great sense of humor and I look forward to seeing
what happens to him in the <i>Deathless
Night </i>Series since <i>Blood Hunger</i>
ended with his future up in the air.<span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you are a fan of the paranormal genre and love steamy romances
then you definitely need to check out <i>Blood
Hunger</i>, by L.E. Wilson.<span> </span>It ends on
somewhat of a cliffhanger which was just what I needed to make me crave the
next novel in the <i>Deathless Night </i>Series,
<i>Blood Vengeance.<span> </span></i><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></span></div>

<i>
</i><i><span style="font-size: small;">They say young love doesn't last, but a girl from the wrong side of
the tracks with unique abilities and the hometown golden boy were
determined to defy the odds. For Zack Covington, Anna-Grace—<i>his</i>
"Gracie"—was the one. Until one night forever alters the course of
their future, when a devastated Gracie disappears without a trace,
leaving Zack to agonize over what happened to the girl he loved. As the
years pass, his desperate efforts to find her uncovered nothing.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">Now
working for Devereaux Security, he stumbles across a painting featuring
a special place only he and Gracie would know. The image is too
perfectly rendered for it to be coincidence. His Gracie must be <i>alive</i>.
When he finally tracks her down, he is shocked—and heart-broken—to
discover the wounded shell of the girl he once knew and still loves. Her
psychic gifts are gone, and worse, she believes he betrayed her all
those years ago.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">Zack has enemies, and once his weakness is
discovered, Gracie becomes a target for revenge. He'll have to save her
before he can earn her trust and her love. And he vows they'll never be
torn apart again.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Safe </i><i>At Last</i>, by Maya
Banks, is the third book in her suspenseful series <i>Slow Burn. </i>The first two books in her <i>Slow Burn</i>
series, <i>Keep Me Safe </i>and <i>In His Keeping,</i> were about the Devereaux
brothers and their quest to protect their family. Beau<i> </i>and Caleb ran a very powerful
and successful security company (DSS) and both found themselves in love with women that
had extraordinary powers. In <i>Safe At
Last, </i>Zack is one of the best agents at DSS. In the
first two books we don't learn much about Zack other than he is very quiet
about his past. He was a professional quarterback for two years before he was injured
and went into law enforcement. In <i>Safe At
Last</i> we learn more about Zack and what makes him tick.</span></div>
<div class="Body">
</div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">Twelve years before
he was a rising star in college football and he already had his whole life
planned out. He was going to marry Gracie, the love of his life, fill a mansion
up with babies, and work as a star quarterback in the NFL. However, things drastically
changed for Zack when Gracie disappeared. Not knowing if she was kidnapped,
murdered, injured in an accident, or just walked out on him, Zack has continued to
search for her for the last decade. When he finally decides that he has to move
on with his life, DSS was asked to work security at an art gallery opening. This is when Zack's whole world is turned
upside down and everything he thought he knew comes crashing around him as he
stares at a painting of a familiar location by the artist Anna Grace- his
Gracie. When Gracie proceeds to walk into the art gallery and comes
face-to-face with Zack she becomes absolutely terrified and things quickly go
south. The other memories members of the DSS force quickly
realize the situation is going to escalate and get Zack out of the gallery
before anything bad happens. Zack then makes it his mission to do anything
in his power to not only learn the truth behind Gracie's disappearance, but to
win her back as well.
</span><br />
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wade, who owns the art gallery, is Gracie<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";">’</span>s best
and only friend. In the beginning I really thought I was going to hate Wade. I
could inevitably see him getting in the way of Zack and Gracie reconciling and
having a hidden agenda. However, as <i>Safe
At Last</i> progressed I really came to like Wade<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";">’</span>s character. He truly saw Gracie as family and he would do anything to protect. When Wade realized that
Zack was on the up and up he won me over completely. Eventually, Wade begins to
butt heads with the one female employee of DSS, Eliza. Eliza is
a character that you like from the start. Spunky, smart, sarcastic, and
obviously strong, Eliza can take care of herself and wreak havoc on those that
are in her way. The chemistry between Wade and Eliza is undeniable and as the
book went on I began hoping for more scenes with the two of them together. I
don't know if a fourth book is planned in the <i>Slow Burn</i> series, but if there is I totally have my fingers crossed
for a Wade and Eliza story! </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">When <i>Safe At Last</i> begins
it seems that Gracie is a victim and she fits the role
perfectly. Bad things happen to her over and over again and they continue to occur. When she meets Wade she finally feels that she is safe and he
will protect her. As the story goes on Gracie needs more people to protect her.
However, towards the end of the book
Gracie morphs into a stronger character. She is no longer the weak girl that needs sheltered.
Gracie takes control and not only stands up for herself but ends up playing a
major role in helping out those that have become dear to her. She is done
letting others hurt her and of being afraid, Gracie is ready to be a strong
female lead. I really liked watching Gracie transform into the person she
always had inside of her. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">I truly enjoyed Maya Banks' third book in her <i>Slow Burn </i>series.
<i>Safe At Last </i>has great characters and many twists and turns. It also has
a touch of paranormal through Ramie, Ari, and Gracie's powers. Combined they
are a dangerous threesome! If you are looking for a romance that is suspenseful,
has a touch of comedy, and a dash of paranormal then <i>Safe At Last</i> is for you! </span></div>

day-to-day, trying to keep her father's land and his cattle business
afloat. She is adjusting to his absence and to living with Finch and the
rest of the carnies, which is creating quite a stir amongst the locals
in Haines. As Finch and the others learn a new way of life that doesn't
involve the carnival, they're dealing with prejudice from almost
everyone in town. A string of suspicious incidents occur, prompting all
fingers to point the blame at them. Just when Evie and Finch learn to
deal with the mountain of obstacles facing them, the unexpected happens,
causing them to question if their relationship can survive it all.</span></i></div>

second novel in her <i>The Hearts of Haines</i> series. I read the first book, <i>Kiss
Me Hard Before You Go, </i>last May and fell head over heels in love with Evie,
Finch, Gray, and the other kaleidoscope of characters (<a href="http://endlessdaysofbooks.blogspot.com/2014/05/kiss-me-hard-before-you-go-by-shannon_27.html">my review found here</a>.)
When I discovered that there was not only going to be a sequel, but a series as
well, it seriously felt like my birthday and Christmas all rolled into one! <i>Kiss
Me Hard Before You Go </i>was one of my favorite reads last year. The whole
concept of a traveling Carnival being held on Evie's farm on a yearly basis was
fresh and different. McCrimmon created truly memorable characters in Doris, Mouse,
Friedrich and the other carnies. Mixed in with the love story were issues
everyone faces in their lives such as family problems, money difficulties, and struggles
with best friends. To find out that everyone's story had not ended and I would
be able to see what was next for them was exciting.<span> </span>I was also eager to watch Evie and Finch's
relationship bloom.<span> </span>
</span><div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Like All Things Beautiful </i>picks up shortly after <i>Kiss
Me Hard Before You Go </i>ends. Evie is not only adjusting to life without Gray
but to her new found family. Meanwhile, Finch, Doris, Friedrich, and Mouse are adjusting to farm life and beginning to love their new home and lifestyle. The
community of Haines, however, is anything but welcoming. Things begin rough for
Evie's new family but as the book progresses things go from bad to worse. The
one steady thing is Evie and Finch's relationship. It's easy to see that they
truly love each other and will do whatever is needed to make their new life on the farm
work. Financial issues can sometimes be the death of a relationship, but Evie
and Finch are able to rise above that, judgmental neighbors, and other obstacles
life throws their way.<span> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">In <i>Like All Things Beautiful </i>we get to know Finch better. Evie
sees another side to Finch when she travels with him to
Florida to retrieve the
personal belongings of Finch and the other carnies. Evie learns a lot through
her conversations with Finch<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";">’</span>s friends. We also find out more about Finch<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";">’</span>s
relationship with his mother and what makes him tick. This is an important trip
for Evie; it really opens her eyes to what a wonderful man she has. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shannon McCrimmon's <i>Like All Things Beautiful </i>is a
touching continuation of <i>Kiss Me Hard Before You Go. </i>There are many up's
and down's, as well as ample opportunities for you to laugh, cry, and pick your
jaw up off the floor. <i><span> </span></i>The next book
in <i>The Hearts of Haines </i>series is <i>This Is Where We Begin </i>and
follows Evie's best friend, Katie.<span> </span>Katie
has found herself single, pregnant, and disowned from her family and it is next on my to be read list! If you have
yet to check out this series I implore you to do so as quickly as possible! You won't be disappointed!</span></div>

This Jaded Heart<i> is the second book of </i>The Bridgewater Chronicles<i> - a
family saga that follows the Newkirk family dynasty from the late 19th
century through the present time.
<br />
<br />In This Jaded Heart, a grown up Birdie Newkirk returns to home
Bridgewater from her Boston boarding school ready to find love and make
her mark on the world. Having inherited the negative traits of both her
parents, Birdie does indeed make her mark on the world - but in all the
wrong ways!
<br />
<br />To her way of thinking Birdie believes she was abandoned by her
mother years earlier when she was sent to Boston to receive a proper
education. The emptiness created by her mother's infrequent visits has
hardened her heart.
<br />
<br />A scandal of epic proportions exiles a grown Birdie to Europe until
the furor dies down. As she flits from the arms of one man only to land
in the arms of another, she leaves a trail of broken hearts behind as
she locks away her own heart to keep from having it broken. Her exploits
take her to both the East and West Coasts of America, London, Paris,

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Marion
Marchetto's second book in her five book Historical Fiction series, <i>The</i> <i>Bridgewater
Chronicles, </i>is <i>This Jaded Heart. </i>Following a grown up Birdie as well
as her family, <i>This Jaded Heart </i>is told from several perspectives:
Birdie, her father Kevin, her mother Cordelia, Head Steward Lawson, and Kevin's
lifelong love Jeannette. The chapters flow easily as <i>This Jaded Heart</i>
spans several years. The first book in the series, <i>Stairway to My Heart, </i>centered
around young Cordelia and Kevin and their loveless marriage. You can find my
review of <a href="http://endlessdaysofbooks.blogspot.com/2012/09/stairway-to-my-heart-by-marion-marchetto.html"><i>Stairway to My Heart </i>here</a>.<span> </span>When <i>This Jaded Heart </i>begins their
oldest daughter, Birdie, has arrived home from school. Kevin and Cordelia's
plan is to find her a suitable husband that will further the Newkirk name,
however Birdie has different plans. </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Birdie
has a huge chip on her shoulder. She despises her mother who she feels sent her
away at a young age so that she wouldn't have to deal with her as she was growing up.
Birdie has a difficult time loving others; the only people she will admit to
loving are her siblings and father.<span>
</span>Birdie swears she will never fall in love or marry because she wants to
be an independent woman without any strings holding her back. The older she gets
the more troublesome and jaded she becomes. No man will make a fool of her or
control her.<span> </span>Kevin and Cordelia can
hardly handle Birdie and her numerous escapades have a lasting effect on the
Newkirk family. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In
<i>Stairway to My Heart</i> we learned of Kevin's love for Jeannette and
Cordelia's love for Lawson. Their relationships were known and accepted by each
spouse while hidden to others. We see in <i>This Jaded Heart </i>that the love of the two
couples has stood the test of time. Their children have grown, tragedy
upon tragedy has occurred, life has continued to move on, and yet their
relationships are as strong as ever. Marchetto does a wonderful job of
transitioning each chapter to a different voice.<span> </span>In no way is it choppy, it flows easily which
is hard to do.<span> </span>I appreciated being able
to read from each characters view and see what they were really thinking and
feeling as <i>This Jaded Heart </i>progressed.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">If
you are a fan of historical fiction (or fiction in general!) then this series
is definitely for you! Marchetto excellently captures the feeling of the
progressing 20th Century America in her series as it spans the 1920’s ends in 1946. The
characters are wonderfully developed with flaws both big and small. I'm very
excited to read the third installment in Marion Marchetto's <i>The Bridgewater
Chronicles, Teddy Blue. </i>It follows Kevin and Cordelia's grandchildren. With
all of the twists and turns in <i>This Jaded Heart,</i> I can only imagine what
will occur in <i>Teddy Blue! </i><span>Do
yourself a favor and pick up this series!</span></span></span></div>

this sequel to <i>Kiss Me Hard Before You Go</i>, Evie Barnes is living
day-to-day, trying to keep her father's land and his cattle business afloat.
She is adjusting to his absence and to living with Finch and the rest of the
carnies, which is creating quite a stir amongst the locals in Haines.<br />
<br />
As Finch and the others learn a new way of life that doesn't involve the
carnival, they're dealing with prejudice from almost everyone in town. A string
of suspicious incidents occur, prompting all fingers to point the blame at
them.<br />
<br />
Just when Evie and Finch learn to deal with the mountain of obstacles facing
them, the unexpected happens, causing them to question if their relationship
can survive it all.</span></span></div>

<br /><i>She helps people conquer their demons. But she has a few of her own...</i><br /><br />In
the halls of the psychiatric ward, Dr. Zoe Goldman is a resident in
training, dedicated to helping troubled patients. However, she has
plenty of baggage of her own. When Zoe becomes obsessed with questions
about her own mother's death, the truth remains tauntingly out of reach,
locked away within her nightmares of an uncontrollable fire. And as her
adoptive mother loses her memory to dementia, the time to find the
answers is running out.<br /><br />As Zoe digs deeper, she realizes that the
danger is not just in her dreams but is now close at hand. And she has
no choice but to face what terrifies her the most. Because what she
can't remember just might kill her.<br /><br /><i>Little Black Lies</i> is about madness and memory - and the dangerous, little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Little Black Lies, </i>by Sandra Block, is a suspenseful
thriller that had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. After moving
back to her hometown, Psychiatric Resident Zoe has started a new job in the
Psychiatric Unit at her local hospital.<span>
</span>Zoe thought it best to come home and help her brother with their ailing
mother, who suffers from dementia and is getting worse day by day.<span> </span>Brokenhearted, Zoe leaves her 'Frenchman'
boyfriend behind when Jean Luc suggests they should not attempt a long distance
relationship. With her mother settled into a nursing home, Zoe moves in with
her brother Scotty and begins her residency.<span>
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">Things seem to be going as smoothly as they can for Zoe. However,
Zoe becomes distressed when out of the blue she begins having a
nightmare that she hasn't experienced since her teenage years. Zoe was
adopted at a young age after her mother died in a fire that Zoe was rescued from.
Her nightmare consists of when she was caught in the fire. She has blocked out
her life before her adoption, but the nightmare makes her begin to question the unknowns of her past. </span></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">Zoe has always been thankful to her adoptive mother for raising and
loving her and giving her a happy life. She loves her mother with all of her
heart and seeing her slowly lose her memory kills her. Zoe never really dwelled
on her birth mother or the fire. However, with the emergence of her nightmares,
Zoe realizes that there are a lot of unanswered questions and with her mother
quickly falling prey to dementia, she might not have another chance to fully
understand her past.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">On top of the stresses of her failing love life and sick mother,
Zoe is assigned a new patient named Sofia. Sofia has been incarcerated in a
Psych ward since she was a teenager and she killed her mother and injured her
brother. Sofia is not your normal run of the mill crazy person. She's in
her 30's, very beautiful and uses it to her advantage. After spending half
of her life around Psychiatrists, Sofia has learned what to say and how to play
the game. Zoe's boss feels they should look into releasing Sofia into the
world. It's Zoe's job to find out if she is fully recovered and competent
enough to lead a normal life.<span> </span>Zoe finds
that she cannot trust Sofia, there is something about her that is 'off.' <span> </span>Is Zoe biased because she knows Sofia murdered
her own mother and Zoe lost her birth mother and is slowly losing her adopted
mother to a horrible disease?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sandra Block's <i>Little Black Lies </i>follows Zoe as she
struggles missing Jean Luc, figuring out if Sofia is truly rehabilitated, and
piecing together her screwed up past. This novel is full of twists and turns. I
can honestly say that the ending of the book was a total shock and surprise.
Once I realized what was happening my jaw was on the floor.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Little Black Lies</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> is extremely well written with relatable and
three-dimensional characters. It is truly a must read. I really empathized with
Zoe and Scotty as they watched their mother diminish day by day. Block did a
wonderful job of illustrating how having a loved one with dementia will impact family members. This book is an absolute perfect summer read! I read it
extremely fast because once I started it I had to see it through until it
ended. Job well done to Sandra Block! </span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

this sequel to <i>Kiss Me Hard Before You Go</i>, Evie Barnes is living
day-to-day, trying to keep her father's land and his cattle business afloat.
She is adjusting to his absence and to living with Finch and the rest of the
carnies, which is creating quite a stir amongst the locals in Haines.<br />
<br />
As Finch and the others learn a new way of life that doesn't involve the
carnival, they're dealing with prejudice from almost everyone in town. A string
of suspicious incidents occur, prompting all fingers to point the blame at
them.<br />
<br />
Just when Evie and Finch learn to deal with the mountain of obstacles facing
them, the unexpected happens, causing them to question if their relationship
can survive it all.</span></span></div>

Evie, open up their farm in the foothills of South Carolina to Kip Kierkin's
Carnival of Wonder. The carnival attracts hordes of locals and out-of-towners,
and it brings in the extra cash that Gray and his daughter need to keep the
family estate running.</span></span></span></span></div>

takes to maintain it, but that's all about to change when she meets Finch
Mills.</span></span></span></span></div>

<i><br /><b>Is it possible to expose Chicago's hottest player--without getting played?</b><br /><br />This
is the story I've been waiting for all my life, and its name is Malcolm
Kyle Preston Logan Saint. Don't be fooled by that last name though.
There's nothing holy about the man except the hell his parties raise.
The hottest entrepreneur Chicago has ever known, he's a man's man with
too much money to spend and too many women vying for his attention.<br /><br />Mysterious.
Privileged. Legendary. His entire life he's been surrounded by the
press as they dig for tidbits to see if his fairytale life is for real
or all mirrors and social media lies. Since he hit the scene, his
secrets have been his and his alone to keep. And that's where I come in.<br /><br />Assigned
to investigate Saint and reveal his elusive personality, I'm determined
to make him the story that will change my career.<br /><br />But
I never imagined he would change my life. Bit by bit, I start to wonder
if I'm the one discovering him...or if he's uncovering me.<br /><br /><b>What happens when the man they call Saint, makes you want to sin?</b> </i><br />

<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Manwhore </i>centers around the life of Rachel, a
journalist/reporter who works for a struggling magazine that is on its last
leg. Her dream is to write pieces that matter, such as spotlighting Chicago's
city violence. However, Rachel knows she must write fluff pieces before she can
make a difference with her words and truly leave her mark. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Rachel is thrilled to be given her biggest assignment that should
put her magazine on the map and breathe life into its faltering pages. With the
weight of saving not only her job, but her magazine, Rachel dives fully into
her assignment. Write an expose on Chicago's playboy billionaire bachelor,
Malcolm Saint. Rachel can easily research him and his bachelor ways as he is
fodder for every gossip magazine and social media site out there. However, she
needs <i>more. </i>She needs to find a way to get in close with Saint and tear
down his walls. </span></div>

<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">Saint's public life is out there for everyone to see. There is a
different girl on his arm every night. However, much about Saint is private. He
surrounds himself with a tight circle of friends. What makes him tick? What
made him the man he is today? What happens in Saint's inner circle? These are
all questions Rachel sets out to answer. However, she soon realizes that with
Saint nothing is easy. As she begins to fall for him she struggles to keep the
line between 'assignment' and 'love interest' clear. Saint is nothing she
thought him to be and she finds herself drawn to him like a magnet. The more
she digs, the harder Rachel falls. Will she be able to write her story without
tearing herself apart?</span></div>

It ends with a huge cliffhanger that found me groaning and flying to the
Internet to find out when the next book will be released. Fear not Saint
lover's, <i>Manwhore +1 </i>is set to be released on July 7th. My countdown is
on, it yours? </span></div>

<br /><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Readers first met Emma of Normandy in Patricia Bracewell’s gripping debut novel, Shadow on the Crown.
Unwillingly thrust into marriage to England’s King Æthelred, Emma has
given the king a son and heir, but theirs has never been a happy
marriage. In The Price of Blood, Bracewell returns to 1006 when a
beleaguered Æthelred, still haunted by his brother’s ghost, governs
with an iron fist and a royal policy that embraces murder.<br /><br />As
tensions escalate and enmities solidify, Emma forges alliances to
protect her young son from ambitious men—even from the man she loves. In
the north there is treachery brewing, and when Viking armies ravage
England, loyalties are shattered and no one is safe from the sword.<br />Rich with intrigue, compelling personalities, and fascinating detail about a little-known period in history, The Price of Blood will captivate fans of both historical fiction and fantasy novels such as George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The</i> <i>Price</i> <i>of</i> <i>Blood</i>, by Patricia
Bracewell, is the second book in <i>The Emma of Normandy </i>Trilogy. The first
book, <i>Shadow on the Crown, </i>followed fifteen year old Emma as she left
her homeland of Normandy and everything she knew to marry Aethelred, the
haunted King of war torn and pillaged England. Viking invasions were blooding
the land and causing much internal strife. (My review of <i>Shadow on the Crown</i> can be found at http://endlessdaysofbooks.blogspot.com/2013/07/shadow-on-crown-by-patricia-bracewell.html) The second book picks up in 1006
where <i>Shadow on the Crown</i> leaves off and then ends in 1012. While these
books are fiction they are based on real people, actual battles, and true
events that have been recorded in history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Bracewell used many works by Anglo-Saxon scholars to conduct her
research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What resulted is an
extraordinary piece of historical fiction that uses rich language, detailed
plot lines, and extensive character development. Bracewell is a wonderfully
talented writer which is seen in <i>Shadow on the Crown </i>and <i>The Price of
Blood. </i></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">Queen<i> </i>Emma is an unforgettable heroine that easily
captures reader's hearts, as well as the hearts and support of the English
Court and commoners. This does not endear her to the King or her stepchildren.
They view her and her young son Edward, who was named the rightful heir to the
thrown, as threats. She is strong, intelligent, and dialed into the political
landscape. Emma also keeps tabs on what is going on inside her family, the
Court, and with other nobles.</span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">In <i>Shadow on the Crown, </i>Emma falls in love with her eldest
stepson, Athelstan. He returns her feelings but they know nothing can ever come
of their dangerous love except heartache. When <i>The Price of Blood</i> begins
the King already distrusts and dislikes Emma and he thinks Athelstan is out to
steal his crown. If Emma or Athelstan gave the King any reason to think that
they had feelings for each other it would lead to their destruction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This leads to the two battling their desire
for each other throughout <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Price of
Blood</i>. </span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The Price of Blood </i>does a wonderful job of illustrating
just how hard it was to be female during this time. Women practically had no
say in their lives and belonged fully to whichever man they were betrothed to.
It saddened me to see Emma have no control of her son Edward's life. The King
wanted them separated so that Emma would not influence Edward as he grew older,
thus he had him sent away. Bracewell also demonstrated how disease heavily
plagued the people of that age. Sickness spread like wildfire and there was
nothing they could do but pray.</span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">Patricia Bracewell has created an exceptional historical trilogy
in <i>Emma of Normandy. The Price of Blood </i>is well written, well researched,
and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am eagerly awaiting the final novel in her
trilogy to see what becomes of England, Emma, Athelstan, Aethelred, and her
children. If you are looking for a pivoting series to read then you definitely
need to get <i>The Emma of Normandy </i>trilogy. </span></div>

of privilege, Arial has no hint of her past or who she belonged to. Her
only link lies in the one thing that sets her apart from everyone
else—telekinetic powers. Protected by her adoptive parents and hidden
from the public to keep her gift secret, Ari is raised in the lap of
luxury, and isolation. That is, until someone begins threatening her
life.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Beau Devereaux is no stranger to the strange. As the head of
Deveraux Security, he’s more than familiar with the realities of physic
powers. So when a family friend approaches him about protecting his
daughter, he’s more than ready to jump on board. What Beau isn’t
prepared for is the extent of his attraction to his beautiful and
powerful client. What began as a simple assignment, just another job,
quickly turns personal as Beau discovers he’ll do anything at all to
protect Ari. Even if it costs him his life.</i></span><br />

<div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>In</i> <i>His</i> <i>Keeping</i>, by Maya Banks, is the second
novel in her <i>Slow Burn</i> series. This novel captivated me from the moment
I started reading it. The <i>Slow Burn </i>books are in a different category
from the kind of novel I am used to reading from Banks. Don't get me wrong,
there is still plenty of steamy romance, but there are also a few added characteristics such as the books are suspenseful thrillers with psychic elements. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">The series centers on the adult Devereaux children. The first
book in this series is<i> Keep Me Safe</i>. Here we are introduced to the
Devereaux family when the youngest sister, Tori, is kidnapped. Her brother
Caleb seeks out psychic Ramie to help locate her. What follows is a suspenseful
love story that has a happy ending after many tragic twists and turns.<span> My review of this book can be found at: http://endlessdaysofbooks.blogspot.com/2014/11/keep-me-safe-by-maya-banks.html.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>In His Keeping </i>picks up soon after <i>Keep Me Safe </i>ends.<span> </span>This novel centers around Beau, another <span lang="FR">Devereaux</span> brother, and Arial, a
young woman with abnormal telekinetic powers. When her parents are kidnapped
Arial has nowhere to turn and asks Beau for help.<span> </span>What happens next is anything but a smooth
ride. The clock is ticking as Beau's security team works to locate Arial's
parents along with trying to keep her safe. This is no small deed! <span> </span>However, what neither Arial nor Beau anticipated
was falling in love.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>In His Keeping </i>is the most vivid and unforgettable novel I
have read in a while. To say I loved it would be putting it mildly. Maya Banks
was able to craftily weave a story full of romance, suspense, excitement, and a
kick ass female heroine. It is not often that I get to read about a woman
saving the day; however Arial is not one to be crossed. If you mess with those
she loves you are done for. I loved watching Arial discover the scope and
magnitude of her powers. Arial reminded me of a superhero with her powers and
heart of gold. She could have easily fit in to the world of X-Men. Banks was
able to write with such clarity and description that I could see every event
unfolding in my mind. She painted wonderful pictures. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="Body">
<span style="font-size: large;">Maya Banks' <i>In His Keeping </i>is an exciting new novel that I
wholeheartedly recommend. Get ready for your heart to pound, both from the
steamy love scenes and the nonstop action. I am already counting down until June,
when the third novel, <i>Safe At Last, </i>is released. If you haven't started
Banks' <i>Slow Burn </i>series then you need to run, not walk, to your nearest
bookstore or quickly grab your Kindle! You don't want to miss a second of this
series! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Love by the Book<i> charts a year in the life of Lauren Cunningham, a
beautiful, intelligent, and unlucky-in-love twenty-eight-year-old
American. Feeling old before her time, Lauren moves to London in search
of the fab single life replete with sexy Englishmen. But why can’t she
convince the men she’s seeing that she really isn’t after anything more
serious than seriously good sex? Determined to break the curse, Lauren
turns her love life into an experiment: each month she will follow a
different dating guide until she discovers the science behind being a
siren. Lauren will follow The Rules, she’ll play The Game,
and along the way she’ll journal her (mis)adventures and maybe even
find someone worth holding on to. Witty, gritty, and very true to life, Love by the Book will have you in stitches.</i></span></div>

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Love by the Book</i>, by Melissa Pimentel, is a story centering around unlucky in love Lauren. </span></span></pre>
<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Lauren left her home, family, and significant other in America to move to London for a
job and new life adventures. She was excited about meeting new and different
men, but after some time on the dating scene she realizes that men are men, no
matter their nationality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They either run full steam away from commitment, </span></span></pre>
<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">are 'scrubs,' or want to settle down way too quickly. Since Lauren just exited a </span></span></pre>
<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">serious relationship she isn't looking to fall in love. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She just wants a normal </span></span></pre>
<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">man to laugh and spend time with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, Lauren comes to the conclusion that </span></span></pre>
<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">she must be doing something wrong because she is striking out at every turn.
</span></span><div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Love by the Book</i>, Lauren decides to conduct a science experiment revolving around her dating
life. Every month she will read a dating self-help book and apply the theory to
her love life. What results is a laugh out loud account of her dating misadventures. One month </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">she is demure and quiet Lauren, then she morphs into flirtatious Lauren, followed by abstinent Lauren, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">and so on. She keeps this up for 8 months and allows each book to take her on new dating adventures </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">with different partners. Her mission is not to find a boyfriend and settle down, instead she
is hoping to find out if any of the dating books actually work and she wants to
'have frequent sex with people of sound mental and physical health.'</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I loved Lauren's relationship with her roommate, Lucy. No matter which harebrained </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">scheme Lauren comes up with, Lucy is with her every step of the way, as you would </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">expect your best friend to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lucy is fun and free spirited and loyal to a
fault. When Lauren moves to London, Lucy quickly takes her under her wings, what
develops is a lasting friendship. I also enjoyed reading about Lauren and 'The
Angry Bookseller.' He was always the first to disapprove and make a sarcastic
remark about Lauren's monthly self-help purchase. Every time she entered his
bookstore they would argue and I would like him more. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In the end, Lauren realizes that she couldn't take anymore advice from authors who </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">didn't know her or her circumstances. She was exhausted from all of the dating and </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">trying to be someone she wasn't. It was then that she decided her mission would be </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">to focus solely on herself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Surprisingly, when her attitude and way of
thinking changed is when everything shifted. However, I will leave that twist
to you readers!</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span><div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<i><span style="font-size: large;">What if you were approaching the end of your thirties and all of the
life milestones you took for granted in your youth suddenly seemed out
of reach? On the eve of her thirty-ninth birthday, Maggie Piper
doesn't look, act, or feel much different than she did at twenty-nine,
but with her fortieth birthday speeding toward her like a freight train,
she wonders if she should. The fear of a slowing metabolism, wrinkling
of her skin, and the ticking of her biological clock leaves Maggie torn
between a desire to settle down like most of her similarly aged peers
and concern that all is not perfect in her existing relationship. When a
spontaneous request for a temporary "break" from her live-in boyfriend
results in a "break-up," Maggie finds herself single once again and only
twelve months from the big 4.0. In the profound yet bumpy year that
follows, Maggie will learn, sometimes painfully, that life doesn't
always happen on a schedule, there are no deadlines in love, and age
really is just a number. Meredith Schorr, best-selling author of light
women's fiction, digs deep in her newest novel and raises the age old
issue of the 'proverbial clock' that haunts many women, in a way that is
refreshing and sassy no matter your age or relationship status.</span></i></div>

<div style="font-size: 9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In Meredith Schorr's <i>How Do You Know (Seeking Happily Ever After)</i>, Maggie is a 39 year old woman in a perfect
relationship. To the outside world everything in her life is right on track. She has the perfect
guy, perfect job, perfect group of friends, and all around perfect life.
However, Maggie doesn't feel perfect. She feels unsettled and is afraid a spark is missing in her life. Does she want kids? Is she getting too old to have kids? What if she decides she wants kids in 5 years and it is too late? Maggie is also <i>terrified </i>of turning 40. She thinks
it will all be downhill from there: weight gain, no more firm body, etc. What is
troubling her even more is her uneventful relationship with Doug. They have
dated for 3 years and love each other. They never fight or have up's and down's.
However, Maggie is afraid that there might be something missing. What if there is someone
else out there for her? Are things too smooth between her and Doug? Why isn't she ready to commit fully to him? All of these questions are swirling in and out of her head as she turns 39.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 9pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What starts
as a romantic birthday dinner ends with Maggie asking Doug for a short break and
him breaking things off entirely.
While sad about her relationship ending, Maggie decides she has one year before
she turns 40 to get her life together and discover what it is she has been missing. She
quickly falls into an office romance with an older man. However, things do not
go as she hopes and she soon finds herself back on the market as the clock to
turning 40 quickly ticks. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 9pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Maggie realizes as time goes on that younger men want relationships with women
in their 20's; men in their 40's are searching for women in their 20's to mid
30's; and finally men in their 50's will date women in their 40's. Sadly, the men
in their 50's are most likely divorced with children and not wanting to start a
new family. Maggie feels pressure from herself and her family to have kids and knowing she is almost 40 and not in a relationship starts to frighten her. Did she take Doug for granted all along? </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 9pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>How Do You Know (Seeking Happily Ever After)</i> is a laugh out loud funny Chick Lit novel that has readers
following Maggie through the last year in her 30's and into the first year of
her 40's as she discovers who she is and what she really wants. We see her bond
with her girlfriends, grow closer to her mother, and see herself in a new light.
Meredith Schorr wrote a fast paced novel that is sure to leave fans of Chick Lit
happy! <i>How Do You Know</i> is definitely a book that I recommend!</span></span><tt>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Owning Violet</i>, by Monica Murphy, is the first book in <i>The Fowler Sisters</i> Series.
<i>Owning Violet</i> is told from the viewpoint of its two main characters: Violet and Ryder. Violet is the quiet and responsible
middle sister from the successful Fowler family, while Ryder is a man who grew up on
the streets but has worked hard to turn his life around- somewhat. Years before, Violet's Grandmother founded the successful company Fleur Cosmetics. It has since been passed down to Violet's father and Violet's hopes are that one day it will be her's to run. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fleur Cosmetics is a huge company where Ryder is a valuable
employee rising quickly through the ranks. Violet has a prominent position in the
company. At work she is a strong and successful leader with great ideas and a
wonderful work ethic. However, in her personal life she is anything but. Violet
has dated Zachary for a few years and readers quickly learn that he walks all over her. Zachary is
Ryder's competitor and his main goal is to climb the company ladder so that one
day he will be running the company. Zachary also happens to be a serial cheater, but
Violet turns a blind eye because she believes that Zachary is worth the
heartache<i>.</i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Owning Violet</i> begins with Violet hoping for a marriage proposal. However, on the night when she is
expecting Zachary to finally commit to her he tells her that he has accepted a
temporary position overseas and is leaving soon. Violet is crushed but holds her
emotions in check until she runs into Ryder and her life is forever changed. </span></span><br />
<br /><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Violet has always steered clear of the alluring and somewhat dangerous Ryder,
however he has been aware of her. When he learns that Zachary has been
offered the overseas position he is furious. However, with the help of his
ex-lover Pilar, he hatches a plan to take everything from the smug and arrogant
Zachary, which includes Violet. Ryder never could have guessed that from his scheme there was the possibility of falling in love with Violet.
However, the more time Ryder spends seducing Violet, the harder he truly falls
for her. How will Violet react when she realizes Ryder has betrayed and used
her? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Monica Murphy's <i>Owning Violet</i> is a sexy page turner of a read. I found the characters to be
very likeable. I really enjoyed Violet. She was three
dimensional and as her layers were peeled away she became very real to me. I
am impatiently waiting for <i>Stealing Rose</i>, the second book in the series which is
about the youngest sister Rose, to come out. If it is anything like <i>Owning
Violet</i> then readers will be in for a treat! </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you are
looking for a book to get you through the cold winter nights then the first book in T<i>he
Fowler Sisters</i> series is most definitely for you!</span></span><br />

<i>In her sensational Breathless Trilogy, New York Times bestselling
author Maya Banks tested the boundaries of desire. In her new trilogy,
there’s only one thing left to do: cross them. And for a married couple
taking steps to renew their marriage, the consequences of one single
moment of inattention may come at a price the husband never expects…<br /> <br />
Chessy and Tate have been married for several years. In the
beginning, their relationship was everything she wanted. Passionate.
All-consuming. She offered her submission freely and Tate cherished her
gift with a tenderness that made her feel safe. Content. Wanted. Loved
beyond all measure. But as the years have gone by, Tate has become more
immersed in making his business a success, and Chessy has taken a back
seat to his business obligations. Growing unhappy with the status of
their once blissful marriage, Chessy knows that something has to give,
or they stand to lose it all.<br /> <br /> Tate loves his wife. Has
always loved her. Providing for her has always been his number-one
priority. But lately she’s seemed unhappy, and he’s worried. Worried
enough that he arranges for a night together that he hopes will reignite
the fire that once burned like an inferno between them.<br /> <br /> But
a business call at the wrong time threatens everything. Chessy’s
safety, his concentration, his wife’s faith in him as her husband—a man
sworn to love and protect her above all else. Gutted with the
realization that he’s going to lose her—has already lost her—he readies
for the fight of his life. Whatever it takes, he’ll get her back, show
her that nothing is more important than her love. And that if she’ll
allow him to prove himself one more time, he’ll take it all. Everything.
But he’ll give back far more: Himself. His undying love.</i><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i></span></div>

Tate and Chessy
were featured as characters in the first two books, but we didn't get too much
information about them other than the fact that Chessy was feeling isolated in her marriage. In the first two books we
learned through Chessy's frequent lunch dates with Joss and Kylie that Tate was
busy building his business and as a result Chessy felt neglected. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the beginning of <i>Taking It All</i>, things come to a head when Tate misses his anniversary dinner with Chessy in order to snag a new client. This is Chessy's breaking point and she realizes that she has had enough and proceeds to confront Tate about their
relationship. Tate is flabbergasted, he had no idea that his marriage was in
jeopardy or that Chessy felt as she did. While he pledges to make Chessy a
priority, things happen that will truly rock their marriage to its core. Will
they be able to survive the storm, and if so can Chessy forgive and forget? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I loved how Banks brought the stories of Joss and Kylie closure in <i>Taking It All</i>. Joss and Dash
are very happily married and expecting their first child. Kylie and Jensen are
moving forward in their relationship and growing stronger and more in love every day. I
also loved to see how fiercely protective of each other the three friends were. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">While Chessy
was struggling with her failing relationship with Tate, Joss and Kylie were there 100%
for her. They offered moral, emotional, and physical support as well as
shoulders to cry on and beds to sleep in.
I found it really hard not to be frustrated with Tate. How could he be so
clueless of Chessy's feelings for the last two years when her friends could
instantly see she was miserable? He was in his own selfish world and has no idea
that his relationship with his wife had gone sour. Then, when he does realize it
and makes an effort to regain her trust he makes the ultimate mistake. I felt he
deserved all he had coming to him and more. To me, Chessy was too easy on him. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Taking It All</i> by Maya Banks was a great read. The <i>Surrender</i>
Trilogy ended on a happy note and left a smile on my face. If you are searching
for a new series to read, I definitely recommend Banks' <i>Surrender </i>Trilogy!<span></span></span></span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">A sizzling story of a woman who risks her
life and her heart to find a wealthy man’s missing sister—the first
novel in a sexy new romantic suspense series from #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Maya Banks.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">When
Caleb Devereaux's younger sister is kidnapped, this scion of a powerful
and wealthy family turns to an unlikely source for help: a beautiful
and sensitive woman with a gift for finding answers others cannot.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">While
Ramie can connect to victims and locate them by feeling their pain, her
ability comes with a price. Every time she uses it, it costs her a
piece of herself. Helping the infuriatingly attractive and impatient
Caleb successfully find his sister nearly destroys her. Even though his
sexual intensity draws her like a magnet, she needs to get as far away
from him as she can.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Deeply remorseful for the pain he’s caused,
Caleb is determined to make things right. But just when he thinks
Ramie's vanished forever, she reappears. She’s in trouble and she needs
his help. Now, Caleb will do risk everything to protect her—including
his heart. . . </span></i>.</div>

I've read a great deal of Banks' books but I have to say that <i>Keep Me Safe </i>stands out to me as one of her most unique works. <i>Keep Me Safe</i> centers around Ramie, a young psychic who helps solve crimes by locating missing girls. However, her gift/curse takes a huge toll on her emotionally and physically. In order to find the missing girls, Ramie must put herself inside of their mind and experience all of the pain and suffering they are.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ramie is going through the motions of her lonely life until she crushes the plans of a serial killer. When he realizes how fun it would be to toy with and then destroy Ramie he sets his sights on her. Ramie tries disappearing off of the grid, but running and hiding does no good as the killer has psychic abilities of his own. In a surprising twist, the killer manages to play an extremely demented cat and mouse game with Ramie. He has the patience to make her feel safe while tracking her for a year and waiting for the perfect moment. His end goal is her gruesome death.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">After a close call with the killer, Ramie manages to escape but has run out of places to run and people to turn to. She has no friends, money, or belongings. She literally has no other options but to turn herself over to the killer. However, Ramie realizes that there is someone she can contact- Caleb Devereaux, a powerful man whom owes her a favor after she
located his kidnapped sister. Afraid that the killer is going to win, Ramie
enlists Caleb to help her. </span></span><br />

Foret, the love of her life. But when Will discovers that Cassie is part
of S.E.C.R.E.T., an underground group devoted to helping women
experience their deepest sexual fantasies, Will breaks it off.
Heartbroken, Cassie dries her tears and focuses on her work with helping
the latest S.E.C.R.E.T. recruit, Solange Faraday. Cassie also reignites
her relationship with sexy bad-boy Jesse, even though she knows he can
never love her as deeply as Will did. <br /> </i></span></div>

beautiful, brilliant Solange, a local news anchor and divorced mom, has a

going deeper and hotter than any other S.E.C.R.E.T. candidates before
her. Can Solange find what her heart most desires? And when Will
realizes he's made a tragic mistake, will Cassie be able to forgive him?

<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>S.E.C.R.E.T. Revealed</i>, by L. Marie Adeline, is very well written with well developed,</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">realistic characters. I think my favorite character in the entire <i>S.E.C.R.E.T.</i> Trilogy </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">was Jesse. His bad boy appearance combined with his heart of gold did me in.<span> </span> </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Surprisingly, I never warned up to the character of Will.<span> </span>I don’t know why, but he</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">rubbed me the wrong way in the first book, <i>S.E.C.R.E.T. </i><span> </span>I think I held that against </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Will throughout <i>S.E.C.R.E.T. Shared </i>and <i>S.E.C.R.E.T. Revealed</i>. When he dismissed </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cassie in the second novel it was the nail in his coffin. Jesse, on the other hand, </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">really felt like the underdog to me and I was constantly rooting for his happiness. </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">To me, Cassie was not fair to him; in fact she seemed to string him along quite a </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">bit. I was happy to see how Jesse’s 'ever after' unfolded at the end of Adeline’s <i> </i></span></span></pre>

<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i> </i></span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>S.E.C.R.E.T. Revealed</i>, by L. Marie Adeline, is a fun and </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">steamy read. I definitely recommend reading the first two novels (<i>S.E.C.R.E.T. </i>and</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>S.E.C.R.E.T. Shared)</i> first so that you know where Cassie is coming from and what </span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">hardships she has been through. I definitely think this is another great summer</span></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">read!</span></span></pre>
