My Thoughts....

I found "He Fell From The Sky" a interesting paranormal read that will keep you turning the pages to see what was coming next.  Some of the characters were really something else in being they were so complexed. This is definitely one of those reads that will keep one guessing at what was really going on in this plotted twisted  suspenseful read. As there seems to be questions that need to be answered we will have to just wait to see what is coming next.

Deacon Johnny Goines, the moral center of the community, is stricken with grief when his youngest child is mortally wounded and he has to go before the throne of grace and beg for mercy.
Finally, Sister Jericho, formerly known as Sweetberry, is shocked and her faith tested when Janelle returns home with two strangers and she's faced with the challenge of accepting one and forgiving the other.

This was quite a read from the beginning all the way to the end.  The author really knows how to give the reader one story that interweaves with an entire community.  With all of these characters the reader really gets a good read that will keep your interest as we are taken to a place in Alabama in the 60's.  I enjoyed the moral lessons that were brought in the read.  Be ready for a little bit of it all from 'judgement, fights, friendships, moral lessons, and definitely the christian message' that is there for all to see what is right or wrong for all to see. 



















Trent (Across the Aisle Book 1) Kindle Edition by Xyla Turner

Profile:

"Bernadette:
The point of becoming an escort was to pay for my law degree.
Period.

One more year and a hefty tuition bill had me rethinking my no sex rule with clients. One exception to this rule with one client that changed my entire life.
He was rude, opinionated, prejudiced and downright ignorant. For him to have an affinity for a certain type of woman, he surely didn’t know how to talk to them. He knew how to have them screaming his name.
Outside of this, my one wish was that he would STFU.
We had five nights only and I was counting down to the hour until I wasn’t.
Five turned into fifty. Hookups turned into sleepovers. A client turned into a significant other.
But how?
Why?
For goodness sakes, he was a damned Republican!

Trent:
A man over fifty is afforded the privilege to say and do what he wants.
Period.
The criteria for my escorts were black women.

In the Name of Love 2 Kindle Edition by Breanna J


Profile:

"It seems like love is the number one thing that we are always fighting for. We’re fighting to find it, fighting to keep, even fighting for the other person to be in it, but one thing is for sure: when it comes to love, nothing is fair or written in stone when it comes to the matters of the heart. With the revelations and chaos that unfolded in the first installment, Sasha is learning this and more. While life is taking its best shots at her, and Keyz is sitting in jail for a crime she never thought he would commit, Sasha is forced to learn to fight and fight hard for her sanity, her heart, her life, and the people that she loves the most. During this fight, she is pushed to see some people and things for what they are and make some much needed adjustments. While some are able to get with the program, others don’t agree with her decisions and actions, whether they’re right for her or not. True colors will be shown and not everyone will make it out alive, and everything they do is in the name of love."

Wow what a story that will definitely keep your attention.   I am not sure who I felt more sorry for...Sasha or her friends.  It seems like when it looks like everything is going the right way something stops and it all turns bad.  Poor Shasta 'is  forced to learn to fight and fight hard for her sanity, her heart, her life and the people that she loves the most.' It was hard to believe Shasta's best friend was gone.  Who did this?  Will Shasta be able to make it through this? So, at the end of this read we are given a cliffhanger and will have to wait for the next read to get the rest of the story. 










The Cost of Love : Volume 1 Kindle Edition by Breanna J


Profile:

"They tell you that love is the objective of the game, if many of us knew the obstacles, we wouldn’t play with or against the members we have to play with, but they never tell you that or how much it’s going to cost you to play or to advance to the next level of falling in love, staying in love, or defending your love against everyone. They never even tell you that like some board games, you could be sent back to the starting line. Some say it’s worth getting in the game and going through the test and trials, but others walk away saying they are better off without it because they can’t afford the cost of it. Each person is different; some cheat their way through the game not caring who they hurt because all they care about is winning without having the right prize in mind. One thing is for sure, the game is the same for every player, but the outlook each player has of it is where you separate the beginners from intermediates to experts. Don’t believe me? Come and journey with me and find out how much the game of love costs these characters and what characters are playing on a beginner’s level while facing people on an expert level.:

Starting with.... 

Untold Stores of the Heart   Story of: Candice and Jyreese [Reese] [Ress]
This was involves a murder and just want a so called best friend can do to a good friend [Brittany]
This ending was really something else!

This Marcus guy had two women and it all comes out when Robin becomes pregnant. What will Robin do when she finds out about Ashley?  How will this one end?  What advice did Marcus's brother Cam give him?  Who will Marcus choose in the end?  I was glad to see that Robin had someone [Jay] to stand with her in the end.

Love Will  The Story Of: Ciara and Jarrell
This was quite a sad sorry of suicide and how at the end Ciara's best friend Skylar took care of the problem.

Greener On the Other Side  The story of Brook, Tip and Sydney
This is where Brook thought she knew what she wanted until she got it.  Tip was one that wouldn't leave [truly a player] so three ladies got together and made things happen.

What a read!

All that is left to say is that each of these stories will give one cause to really try to see the real picture of what has gone on for each of these interesting characters  and definitely giving one reason to think of long after the read.   In the end what is "The Cost of Love?"














Someone to Trust by Mary Balogh


Profile:

"During a rare white Christmas at Brambledean Court, the widow Elizabeth, Lady Overfield, defies convention by falling in love with a younger man in the latest novel in the Westcott series.

After her husband's passing, Elizabeth Overfield decides that she must enter into another suitable marriage. That, however, is the last thing on her mind when she meets Colin Handrich, Lord Hodges, at the Westcott Christmas house party. She simply enjoys his company as they listen to carolers on Christmas Eve, walk home from church together on Christmas morning, and engage in a spirited snowball fight in the afternoon. Both are surprised when their sled topples them into a snowbank and they end up sharing an unexpected kiss. They know there is no question of any relationship between them, for she is nine years older than he.

They return to London the following Season, both committed to finding other, more suitable matches. Still they agree to share one waltz at each ball they attend. This innocuous agreement proves to be one that will topple their worlds, as each dance steadily ensnares them in a romance that forces the two to question what they are willing to sacrifice for love. . . ."

My Thoughts....

I enjoyed this historical romantic fiction that featured Lady Overfield and Colin Handrich, [Lord Hodges].  With Elizabeth being a widow and nine years a senior to Colin it will be quite a interesting read how these two find their way to each other and to think they met at a family Christmas holiday. What will happen when Colin and Elizabeth  start to have feelings for each other?  

However, Elizabeth will accept a proposal from another Lord but after this fiancee verbally treats her badly she breaks that proposal. Why was Colin so determined to make Elizabeth his wife after all of the Society gossiping that was going on about her?   Will Elizabeth give into her feeling even though Society just didn't approve of a older woman marrying a younger man?  

I loved how these two kindred spirits even though this age thing that was taboo at this time were able to get beyond that situation.  I will say there were quite a few relatives in this read so you will have to keep up with all that is going on.  It seems like Elizabeth had some wonderful relatives and friends that were with her but it seems like for Colin, well it was quite the opposite for his family.  I really didn't care for them [Colin's mom and sister] at all!  Well, to get it all you will have to pick up "Someone to Trust" to see how this story will all come out.  At the end I was left wondering a little about who was Colin's father. This was indeed a good read of how one must learn that trust and true feelings is what happiness is all about.

My Thoughts....

Wow,  this was a read that will definitely keep your attention turning the pages to see what will happen next.  Dray and Chynna were supposed to be the perfect couple but when she would show her 'jealous and abusive' ways Dray chose to step away from this relationship.  However, Chynna would not have it and so she caused problems for Dray and his new lady Bethany.  As I read through this story I shook my head and said that Chynna definitely needed some professional help.  It seemed that even Dray realized it too but there was nothing he could do.  I do feel that he could have stepped up a little more for Bethany.  I realized too at a point in the read he still had feeling for Chynna.  As I read I could see how this story was going and that was Chynna seemed to be crying out for help but until she recognized that she need it nothing will come of it. A person will have to be willing to want to make change before really anything will happen!    I am not sure who I felt more sorrier for...Chynna, Bethany or Dray. At least for Bethany she was finally able to see what was not good for her. Well,  I did see how it will all come together due to the fact that Dray still really loved Chynna, however, he didn't like what she did in her 'jealous and abusive ways'.  Will Chynna make a change for the good and not depend on her friend to help her out of her horrible situations she had gotten herself in.  When the tables were turned for Chynna  and karma finally comes for her,  well this is where I say you will just have to read 'Forever Ain't Enough' for yourself and see how this author brings it all out to the reader.

If you are looking for an intensed, romantic suspense and thriller read then you have come to the right place as this series will give it to you and so much more.  "Watched for a Distance" features 'Us Marshall Dane Ryan now a member of Task Force Phoenix  and single mom Lena Scott.'  Little did Dane know that he would be knocked out by a whisky bottle and Lena who had taken him to a drug and human trafficker named Vicktor Kulakov who was a evil man that had 'kidnapped Dane's son for his cooperation in finding a man that he wanted killed.' 


Who was this person that Vicktor wanted brought to him?  How was it that both Dane and Lena families all depended on this same evil man?  What will they have to do in order to take him down and get safety for their families?  So now we have Vicktor who has Dane's son Tobey and wants him to bring a certain person to him by the name of Robbie Vanderhook.  So, what will happen when Dane and Lena set off to find this person?  How will this turn out where we find these two people [Dane & Lena] are thrown together and must learn a way to trust one another?  What will happen when Lena finally tells Dane the whole story 'whose' daughter [Mackenzie] had been  kidnapped and was being held to coerce her to do this criminal's bidding' and they decide teams up with Dane's group to plan a rescue of both of their children? What had Lena's ex [Brandon] done that got her all involved in his mess with Vicktor in the first place? How will this story all come out as these two are thrown together?  Now, to get all of these questions answered you will just have to pick up "Watched from a Distance" to see how these two will make it out of this whole entire mess.
