New Year and New start for the reviews that I write for the authors that I read for

Rescuing Reeve

(Cassidy Kincaid Book 2)

by Amy Waeschle

            Rescuing Reeve is the second book of the Cassidy Kincaid series, a well written story of a horrible topic, which runs rapid in today's society. A captivating storyline with a plot that has many twists and turns, filled with action, drama, and suspense. Rescuing Reeve has explanatory writing which will draw the reader emotionally into each scene, and has a different end than anticipated, leading into the next book in the series. I am sure that many readers will love it, but it is not suitable for all age groups.

Ms. Amy is a talented author, and this book shows that a great bit of research has been done before writing this story, (which I really enjoy reading about the locations), describing the world in her story perfectly. Her characters are exceptional and well developed, with believable characteristics and distinct personalities; readers will find the lead female character's emotional state is easily understood.

Not an easy book to read but it is a great read, slow getting started; but I could not put it down. This was my first read of a book by Ms. Amy Waeschle and I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I am interested in other works by this author. Thank you, Ms. Amy, and to the free Savage Creek Press for sharing this series. These are my own thoughts and feeling about this book and the author, giving both a 5-star rating.

Out of the Dark: An Orphan X Novel

(Evan Smoak, Book 4)

by Gregg Hurwitz

            Out of the Dark is the forth book in An Orphan X series, a great addition to the series. A fast-paced thriller that gives readers the details that humanize the characters, characters that are elusive and deadly; each is very well-developed and working well with each other. With non-stop action and has an intensity that is continuously climbing; mixed with aspects of: hero, spies and a personal; keeping the readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish anticipating the next victories of the characters dilemmas.

Mr. Gregg Hurwitz has a writing style, that reaches emotional chords for his readers, with his unique touch for combining realistic characters and non-stop, believable action. Mr. Hurwitz has written some terrific books in this series, with each of the novels in this series; the author leaves an open door for the future books. Mr. Gregg Hurwitz is one of my new authors, with his Orphan X series, changing my cynicism of the genre; well done. Mr. Gregg Hurwitz is an amazing author, has made a series that I like, in this genre and keep his readers entertained.

             An Orphan X series is an absolute must read, for all the enjoy reading this genre. While each of the books can be read as a standalone, I highly suggest readers start at the beginning of the Orphan X series as this is a continuing series, readers will not be disappointed. These are my personal thoughts and feelings about this book and the author, giving a 5-star rating. Well done.

Gabriel is Cursed

(Nymph’s Revenge series Book 2)

by Julia Goldhirsh

            Nymph’s revenge series brings readers a wonderful addition, Gabriel is Cursed. The second book of a series; a darker version of Rapunzel, retelling the fairytale in a rare and unique way; filled with angels and nymphs. A story like nothing readers have read before, in a world filled with both good and evil, curses, revenge, struggles, battles, redemption, fears, hope and action. Hold the raw and aching truths, where readers will get pulled into the storyline from the start to the finish.

            Two very strong character main, that hold a love for one another and have a quirky and witty banter together, that readers cannot help but to fall in loving with the characters and feel the characters emotions. The cast of supporting characters help in building a believable storyline, and each works well within the story.  

            Ms. Julia is a very talented author, I have come to love, her writing capacities for showing the utter purity of her characters and emotional depth of her characters as if they are living individuals in our world. When an author takes a pre-existing story and tweaks it, changing it into their own different story; is truly an amazing and unique gift, worthy of being shared with the readers of the world.

Although it can be read as a standalone, I recommend starting with book 1; Rose is Spellbound, then follow the storyline. This is a different type of reading experience from normal fairytales, as Gabriel is Cursed, stimulates raw emotions, and deals with a powerful topic. Gabriel is Cursed was an amazing story to read, I could not put the book down once I started reading until I completed the book. These are my thoughts and feelings about the book and author. I recommend reading this book and series, well done receiving  5-stars.

Beautiful Boy

by Kathi Goldwyn

            Beautiful Boy is a dark but beautiful love story and a touching journey of terrifying and heartbreaking events for two emotionally broken sisters with deep scars. A well-written storyline that pulls the readers in filled with everything from: heartbreak, sacrifice, compassion, courage, growth, mending, true love with many twists and turns along the way. The love is beautiful and suppresses the darkness in the story. Beautiful Boy also touches on the hard subject of PTSD. Many people who have lived with PTSD will relate to the story and understand the depth of the storyline; while for others this storyline can be dark, there are triggers throughout the story and it may not be suitable for all readers.

            The characters are well developed and work well together, giving support and strength to each other. Readers must experience their story for themselves; crying for the characters stories, hate the villains, while laughing and cheering for the good guys. This story really packs a blow to the readers emotions, cutting right through. I love strength of the characters in this story, well done Ms. Kathi.

Author Ms. Kathi Goldwyn is a phenomenal writer, she has done her research and shows her readers her knowledge of the subject matter in her story. I love this book and cannot wait to read the next edition of this series. A wonderful first appearance from Kathi Goldwyn and I look forward to reading more of her books. Congratulation, Miss Goldwyn. These are my personal thoughts and feelings about this book and the author Ms. Kathi Goldwyn, and I am giving both 5-stars.

by Sara Ohlin

            Flirting with Forever is the third book in the Graciella series, a captivating and touching romance story that is different; beautiful, tender, sweet and sexy at the same time. A second chance at love story; a romance with an undercurrent of heat, burns through the page. Flirting with Forever can be read as a standalone, readers are not missing any vital information from previous titles; but it would be better reading them in order, giving the readers the history of the characters.

            Characters are well-developed; understanding, and emotional, with a wonderful chemistry. Our hero is handsome, sexy, and built like a titan; is a genuine gentleman. A man that would move heaven and earth for the woman he loves, making her feel happy and loved, accepting her as she is, standing beside her in the worst of times, and promising her a forever that she deserves.

Her life will never be the same again and she is so exceptionally thankful. Together they find that love, and that HEA; threw their trials and hardships.

Her writing is elegant with such grace and sensitivity, it is refreshing to find an author that writes this way. Creating a wonderful world for her characters in such great details, describing things with so much imagination; makes the readers think these characters are on their own world.

                                                                       Spirit in Time

(Spirited Quest Mysteries Book 3)

by Julie Howard

           Spirit in Time is the 3rd book of the Spirited Quest Mysteries series, a hypnotic paranormal mystery taking the readers on a dreamlike adventure where readers will experience the juxtaposed realities. The plot moves at the nice pace and is filled with a bit of everything: historical mystery, paranormal adventure, and time travel. With characters that are magnificently portrayed including their thoughts and emotions, pulling the readers into the storyline. The story will keep the readers captive, speeding through the pages of this sweet love story filled with plenty of twists and turns. Although, this is part of a series it can be read as a stand-alone; I would recommend reading the complete series for anyone who wants to follow the adventures from the beginning and those loving a great mystery series.  

Author Ms. Julie Howard writing is moving; in a way that allows her readers to feel the emotions of her main character experienced, a job well done only adding to the story. Ms. Howard loves her main character, describing her qualities with such care. She has a way of writing the makes reading about history entertaining and not a chore; readers honestly do not want to leave the world she creates. I find it interesting how different authors, can create ways for their characters to travel into another time realms and take the things from different eras, making them such a critical part of the plot.

Spirit in Time is a fun read, and readers will enjoy reading Ms. Julie Howard’s other work. I have read several of her other books thoroughly enjoying each of them. I highly recommend reading the Spirited Quest Mysteries series. This is a great way to get introduced to a new Author and a new genre. Both the book and the author are receiving a 4.5-star rating. Well Done!

A Badge of Redemption

(Redemption Bluff book 9)

by Linda Cox

A Badge of Redemption is the 9th book of the Redemption Bluff series, a masterful portrayal of the West and a page turner with many twists and turns keeping the readers interest to the very last page, reading late into the night. A story that is filled with lots of excitement, vulnerability, vengeance, callousness, maliciousness, and a touch of romance, some good vs evil, truths and lies, and the extremes to protect the ones that you love; a bit of something for every reader. The storyline flows effortlessly, contains previous characters, and includes enough pieces of previous books in this series, that A Badge for Redemption can be read as a stand-alone; but it would be much better reading the complete series.

            The characters development is outstanding, with a depth that brings them to life in the readers imagination and a storyline that has been depicted with a cleverness, that can only come from a great writing talent. Ms. Linda does not disappoint her readers, weaves the mixture of each character well within the storyline; always has her readers turning pages looking forward to how the story ends.  

I have read and enjoyed several of the books in this series by Lynda Cox and have skipped around throughout the series, which can often be overwhelming, but not with this author. In many cases readers will go back to read the complete series from the start. I was gifted this book by the author, during the 2021 Winter Games Reader challenge, without obligation to review. The opinions expressed are completely my own and are given freely. I recommend not only this book but, the entire series. Well done, Ms. Cox 5-stars!!

(Gold Rush Ranch Book 2)

by Elisa Silver

            A Photo Finish is an intense and beautiful story; a captivating storyline that hook the reader from the first page, where true love conquers the pain, shining through the darkness for a second chance romance. A plot that develops naturally and has a slow burn; with many surprising secrets, readers never expect. Contains a difficult topic that may not be suitable for all ages, PTSD into the light. Can be read as a stand-alone; but is much better reading the complete series; will keep the readers interest, from beginning to the end.

            The characters are well developed, emotionally connected; and their relationship is beautiful, with a chemistry has an extreme link that is spicey. Our Hero is big, ex-military, and sullen; feels as though he is vulnerable, shattered, and unworthy. He is a complex hero with many deep hidden underlying issues. Our heron is small; but strong, sassy, sweet, caring, intelligent and has zero tolerance, and so determined to show her independence.

            Ms. Elsie Silver’s writing is fantastic; her effortless writing style for creating her world of ‘Gold Rush Ranch’ is beautifully crafted, her characters are realistic, flawed with significant and believable life issues and lets her characters grow. Ms. Elsie Silver has executed this book with such finesse and the way that she does not shy away from sensitive topics but dives right in, has blown me away. Her knowledge about PTSD, showing that she has either done her research or has personal understanding… also, she clearly has knowledge of riding and horsemanship.

After reading the prequel and first book in the Gold Rush Ranch series I anticipated reading “A Photo Finish”, in the Gold Rush Ranch series. A story with an interesting blend of tropes, very unusual for a new author. Gold Rush Ranch series will be in my TBR pile, I am hoping that there will another book in the series. I loved this sweet, steamy, emotional read! Another fantastic, steamy racing romance book by Elsie Silver. I cannot wait to see what Ms. Elsie Silver writes next. These are all opinions are my own and given freely, with a 5-star rating.
