My Thoughts......

I enjoyed this whole series of 'Nothing Else Matters But Survival 1-2-and this finale.  These authors were able to give the reader quite a read of these sisters and friends...Brooklyn, Drew, Symone, and Leah.  I loved how thees ladies were finally able to finally get it together to pay off the 'Homestead and Patterson Pharmaceutical debt.'  It was sad in the way Nia was taken away but at least getting rid of Legend, well that was quite another story.  I loved how the girls at the end seemed to be getting their lives back together again.  To truly understand this whole story I would definitely suggest one pick up all three of the series.  It was truly one good series.

I loved the friendship that Michelle and Natalia seemed to have.  It was quite interesting seeing how Olivia [Missy long lost mother] was able to work her web that would only damage all who was around her.  Will Missy ever get a grip on her life as she become the upcoming Pastor of the church?  Well. there will be more to this story as it seems toward the end more secrets still seem to be coming out about 'PASTOR HENRY CEPHEUS JONES.'  Now what could that be?  To find out you will have to pick up this good read and see how well this author presents it to the readers. And yes another cliffhanger so  I guess we will have to find out in the next series to see what will happen next in this Christian story.

"Burnt Orange" by Meiah Shaun

My Thoughts.....

I found "Burnt Orange" quite a interesting incredible read that focus on twin girls [fraternal]...Erika and Erin living in Orange, Texas in the 1990's.  This coming of age read takes the reader into a emotional read as these twins suffered a type of abuse like no other coming mainly coming from their father.  The author takes the story from early childhood, teenagers and on through young womanhood.

It was interesting see their girls grow and mature to womanhood as you continue to read.  I love the fact that they had a grandmother around them when they really need her due to that father.  I wondered a lot about the father and why he was the way he was in this story and at the end I was able to maybe understand why he had been the way he was toward his children due to what the twins had done. However, it still was no reason for the way he had treated them...especially Erin.  Now, I don't want to spoil it for you the reader so you will have to pick up this story that is  'well written novel, detailed, and engaging and see for yourself.  It was quite interesting seeing Erin and Erika growing up and even overcoming some of their many difficult s they had endured during their childhood. One thing that was for sure their mother had instilled some wonderful 'Christian' values that had grounded them in their adulthood. Truly forgiveness is a powerful thing!   This was a really emotional, powerful  journey that Erika and Erin had endured and in the end...well again you will have to pick up this read to see how this author bring  it all comes out so well to the reader.  Would I recommend?  YES!

Thank you to the author for letting me read your novel and  giving my honest opinion of this interesting story.

What a well written story with so much sadness and emotional pain that dealt with such domestic abusive  violence that happened to these girls [Jade, Corrina, Telissa & Dee] that many have gone through. How they made it through it was really a horrible story.  I still wish Jade would have told her mother on just what was going on with her father.  But oh well this happens and naturally Jade would end up with someone like Greg who used 'his badge for all the wrong reasons.'  However, thank God Malcolm comes into the picture and to learn the rest of the story you will have to pick up this phenomenal good read to see who well this author brings  out this journey all out to the reader.

Two Contemporary Stories Celebrate The Hope of Christmas:

Christmas in Gold
What a story that had me in tears...What will happen when a older woman [Astrid] falls and breaks her ankle.  Then her family wants to put her in an assistant living facility.  Wow, what  a family!  You will just have to pick this one up to see how it will all come out as she meets a Physical Therapist named Carly.

Then next we have....

Christmas in Blue
This was such a wonderful contemporary heartwarming story of 'love, loss and the beauty of family and friends.'  What will happen as a mysterious stranger [Gabe]  appears in town to help Angela.  How will this take a turn and instead of dread there will be 'joy and tenderness in Angela's heart' for this holiday.

Both of these stories are well written and will contain a message that is only for the reader to receive. I found these stories tender, so endearing and hopefully one hearts will be lifted for this Christmas holiday season from the read.  I was left to be reminded to be 'thankful and never take anything for granted.'

This was quite a endearing story that will help your interest turning the pages to see what was going on with Gussie Horton who had found herself in a horrible situation.  No what was that? Well, it seems like a [Bob Babbitt] was not been there to receive her in Ft Smith and now she has make her way to Pear Orchard, Arkansas to learn he [Babbitt] was was in the Van Buren jail for disorderly conduct where he had  "Drank too much and tore up a saloon."  What was somewhat interesting about this whole situation was that Gussie was a 'mail-order letter bride' who hadn't formally met only having a agreement to this marriage.  Now, what will Gussie do?  Well, she gets help from the
a sweet family the Karlsson's...Susan...her husband Erick and her half brother Max Lonestar.  What proposal will be made to Gussie from Max that she will not be able to refuse?  The author will present the reader will one interesting story of just how hard it was for Max and Gussie especially since he was a 'half-breed.' It was intriguing to see how this town treated Max and how it took Gussie to bring it out up front and center to how these town people really were a group of very self righteous people. It seems like when all was going well for these two something would always seem to happen.  Why and who were those particular people?  Now to fully understand this well written read you will have to pick up "Lonestar's Lady' to see for yourself how well this story whole situation is all brought out.  I did have a few questions in how the ending ended but I was able to live with my thoughts on how I hoped it would all did come out in the end.  One will definitely want these two Gussie and Lonestar to have that HEA because they indeed deserved it. Would I recommend "Lonestar's Lady?'  YES!

Undone by Deceit by Falon Gold

Book Description...

"Split decisions and daring anyone to challenge the path he took made Chance Middleton a successful architect. The reason for one of his decisions made when he was just a boy was a mystery that Mahogany Jefferson could never solve. However, he had no way of knowing that his fierce determination would become a fatal flaw, turn his closely guarded secret into a breeding ground for deceit, and push Mahogany’s love for him to a breaking point. 

Chance wasn’t surprised when it snapped completely or when she packed her bags. He let her go, well aware that she can be counted on for two things: doing what she thought was right and bouncing back when things went sideways. Her troubled past and heartbreaking present unbeknownst to him demanded she be tough, but a recent tragedy just may break her. Her belongings weren’t all she took with her when she left.

Thinking she was doing the right thing for everyone, now she had a secret of her own and it was always only a matter of time before things went left. That was the story of Mahogany’s life and to right things again, she had only one option: call on Chance, which required her to reveal an accident that elevated many lives to a level he never wanted to exist on. His reaction might just be incendiary, but the mystery of Chance will be unraveled at last.

No one will be exempt from heartache, heartbreak, and being let down. Love will be tested. Lines will be crossed. Lives will be endangered. Blood will be spilled. Everyone will learn what they're truly made of. Happily-ever-afters will. Be. Fought. For."

So, will Athena finally get the happiness she so well deserved?  With these two having that sizzling chemistry will they both who have had some many personal problems be able to finally get their HEA?  To find out you will have to pick up "Charm School Night Play:  Lesson 3" to find out.  Would I recommend?  YES!
