When Dan Franklin learns his wife has been kidnapped, he knows the past he’s kept hidden from everyone, even Justine, has come back to haunt him. While their memories give them strength, their deep love will soon be put to the greatest test.

Dan’s terrified he can’t save Justine or the child she carries. And though he is not afraid to do whatever it takes to get Justine back, can he do it and keep safe the secret he’s kept for the last decade? Or will his past destroy them both?

This book is an awesome adventure of suspense and as the title states its truly a twist of betrayal. Justine Franklin a Public Defender has been seemingly happily married to police officer Dan Franklin for six years. The majority of the time any bad deed done in our past will surely catch up with us. Dan is a man that can vouch for this. The book opens with the couple having a heated disagreement prompting Justine to leave the house in anger. Her decision to go to the grocery store is timed with the grocery store robbery. Unfortunately Justine is kidnapped. Will Dan be able to save his wife and still keep his unlawful past a secret?

From the very beginning this book had my attention. To discover early on that the kidnappers know Justine personally only made my suspense greater. The timely flash backs give a back story of Justine and Dan’s past and also adds dimension to the storyline. The author timed the flashbacks at the appropriate time and gave enough suspense to keep me entertained and still had my interest on how the story would unfold. True enough I had a feeling that Justine would be saved, but boy were there many twists that the author complied to make this a book that I enjoyed and would recommend to any reader that is looking for a good suspenseful read.

I enjoyed the writing style. How the novel flowed was perfect. The plot was told with true talent. This is a book that you can’t judge by the cover. The blurb is interesting enough but the cover lead me to think the context would be something totally different.

The bad guys were truly bad. They devised a plan and I guess with all bad intentions they thought they would actually get away with it. Dan is a man of determination. He is a strong officer with attractive features. A man that is adamant on upholding the law and has a deep concern about public safety. He was a favorable character to read about. He is a man with faults but inspire to do right. Justine is a professional woman and as with any relationship she balances work and marriage as best she can. With the turn of events of an unexpected pregnancy and the kidnapping Dan and Justine’s marriage is put to the test. This is a well written, well thought out story a reader of suspense and action wouldn’t want to miss out on.

Jake Crosby has traded in a stockbroker’s suit and tie for a standard-issue uniform. As a newly minted Mississippi game warden, he has two tough cases to cut his teeth on—the ongoing robbery of wealthy hunters and the ruthless search for a rumored hidden fortune.

According to local gossip, several million dollars have been missing since the conviction of local conman Bronson Bolivar, and following his death in prison, his two grown children have torn his property apart looking for the funds. As Jake searches for the robber who targets well-to-do outdoorsmen, he finds a trail leading to the Bolivars. But the allure of quick cash also draws unexpected interest from both Bronson’s former cellmate and an upstanding federal judge. Will Jake understand the severity of the situation in time or get caught up in a web of deceit?

The reason is that the chemicals orden 50mg viagra deeprootsmag.org in cigarettes directly harming the fetus or newborn child.

Potential causes of ED include: Obesity High blood pressure High blood pressure condition has long been known for helping in the process viagra samples of getting an erection. However the recommended dose is one pill so take care cheapest levitra that you don’t exceed it. I am a Bobby Cole fan and this is another book that I thoroughly enjoyed. This one is full of suspense, action and humor that I’ve enjoyed from all of Mr. Cole’s books. Jake Crosby has recovered from his injuries along with making a drastic career change from stockbroker to game warden. This new career brings about many time consuming cases from wealthy hunters being robbed to keeping up with the Bolivar twins as a favor for Judge Ranson Rothbone.

When unclaimed money is concerned people are liable to do just about anything to get their hands on it, each person for their own personal reason; be it for a good or for selfish pleasure it doesn’t stop one from dreaming and even going on the hunt for the almighty dollar. The town story is that Bronson Bolivar hid money, not even disclosing the location to his children. The line of people wanting or just dreaming to get their hands on the money is quite lengthy.

Judge Ranson wants the money to get his wife’s medical treatment. So he places Jake to keep a close eye on the Bolivar children. I was a little puzzled why his wife wasn’t on dialysis for her kidney problems, but I’m not in the medical field and there was too much other story to focus on so I left that as an afterthought. The Judge’s love for his wife and her getting the proper treatment was very heart touching.

This is a book that just doesn’t focus on one storyline. I felt it bought about many tangents that the author could touch on later and as a reader it gave me a more filling read because it made the characters seem so real and their life as though it’s not fiction. My favorite character would be Virgil Fain, Jake’s coworker and his yellow lab, Kramer.

Virgil has experience and knowledge in all things. He adds a certain flare to the book with his logic and humor in what he says and does. One thing I did notice that the author didn’t reveal how Virgil’s banana diet turned out at the end of the book. Kramer was a handful for Jake’s wife Morgan and the things he got into brought about realness to the family life.

I enjoy this author’s writing style. This novel flows with a unique plot that is told with true talent. The suspense and action!  I felt sorry for the Bolivar twins, Chase and Chance. Their father had money but didn’t disclose to them where it was located before he passed. As a parent we know our children and perhaps Bronson knew the money would be his children demise, but then on the other hand it could have been that Bronson was just as selfish as his children and didn’t want anyone to end up with the money. The hunt for the money ruled his children’s lives. Tracking down their father’s cellmate to see what information he has about the money, to fabricating lies, stealing, and to finally each twin having their own secret from the other. This was not a model family but following their journey and the depths they would go to to get their hands on their father’s hidden money is a story that is worth reading.

Two hundred years in the future, our first major human colony on Mars, the Zephyria Planum Research Station, is suffering. The inhabitants have rapidly dwindling rations and medical supplies, and are prohibited from returning to Earth. A handful of officers can only think of one final, last-ditch effort to get what they need simply to survive, but it requires them to break every sacred oath they ever took.

Sakharov Station, in orbit between Earth and Mars, find themselves between a rock and a hard place when the World Government collapses, and the more powerful space-faring nations of Earth start grappling for possession of Sakharov Station’s deadly contents the personnel were sent to dispose of.

Can the two outlying bastions of humanity join forces and survive, or will each step bring them closer to their own doom?

Imagine a book where when you read it, the scenes play out in your mind like a movie. This is that book!

The Mutineers is a story set in the not so distant future with the first colonization of Mars. The initial setup of the story is one that is not far-fetched with the current rise of technology and the current direction of humankind. The story follows the lives of those on both the Mars colony named Zephyria Planum Research Station and the space station named the Sakharov station as well as several key individuals of the world government back on Earth. When the world government back on Earth begins to crumble, it is easy to overlook the little colony on Mars and focus on the Nuclear weaponry located on the Sakharov Station.

The author does an amazing job in showing the inner demons of the characters as well as great character development throughout the book. Although the reader understands the lives of those stationed on the Mars colony is less than ideal, it is not until deeper into the book that the reader understands the horrible sentence that these individuals have been dealt since the privatization of the research funds limit what resources are available to the distant station. Suddenly understanding that there is a limited ration of water, food and even ability to clean uniforms puts the world of the characters into perspective.

The difficult decisions that the characters must make along with the repercussions that follow are real and draw the reader in to understand the dynamic that unfolds. The author works with an understanding of astronomy, space travel and the physics and dangers involved with living off-plant. The descriptions are strong and the character development is great. From understanding the PTSD that the characters have been dealing with to the understanding that the characters may never be able to return to normal life is a great undertaking that is handled with precision.

The story is strong and reads as though the reader is watching a movie. The only drawback is some very minor editing errors. I found the main story line strong and very believable. The characters were very likable and fully realized. The overall incorporation of the various overlapping story lines, from the Mars colony to the Sakharov Station, blend seamlessly and show great a great writing style. The ending ended where it should, it did not run short and was not strung out longer than it should.

I highly recommend picking up a copy of The Mutineers, you won’t be disappointed! I know that I will definitely be looking for other books by this author!

As Game Warden, Jack Chambers is responsible for the wildlife in and around Grizzly Cove, but he never expected to find a badly injured mermaid washed up on the shore near his house. He takes her in and helps her back to health, only to learn of the much greater danger held at bay, just off shore, and how it’s affecting the ocean-going shifter population.

Jack’s immediate problem is the pull the leviathan still has over the woman he is fast coming to believe is his mate. He has to save her, but they also need to work through the problems of a land shifter and a mermaid getting together. Can they make the relationship work? Or is he going to end up broken hearted when she returns to her watery home?

And who even knew there were mer people off shore? This is something the residents of Grizzly Cove are going to have to figure out, especially with the leviathan out there too, still posing a great threat to all creatures of the Light.

As Grizzly Cove’s Game Warden, Jack Chambers takes his responsibility to the town seriously. With the leviathan out in the water, Jack has increased his patrols, watching for any sign of danger. When he comes across a woman on the beach, battered and bleeding, he makes it his duty to help her as best he can. He thinks that she just may be a mermaid, because as he came upon her, she was glowing, and as he watched, her tail became two legs.

Grace wakes up confused; the last thing she remembers is fighting to escape the evil being out in the water, but she wakes up in a warm, soft bed. As she begins to put the pieces together, she is drawn to Jack, and wants to explore what might be growing between them. Jack wants what his brother the sheriff has, a mate to love and grow old with. But he has to wonder, can a mermaid and a bear be mates? His bear thinks so, but he takes things slow, wanting to be sure Grace feels the same, and besides, she needs to heal after her ordeal with the leviathan. Can these two magical beings find their way to true love? Can Grace accept what Jack is offering? Can these two find a way to block the compulsion that the leviathan is sending to keep Grace safe from its evil lure?

Saving Grace is Bianca D’Arc’s next book in the Grizzly Cove series. Ms. D’Arc has added some new characters, folks who are in dire peril from the evil leviathan, because they are water dwellers. I like watching the town grow, as each new species appears in Grizzly Cove. I love the small town feel of the town, and the way everyone is willing to pitch in to help when things get rough. And all of the characters are strong and well defined, with many facets to them. This is a town I really would love to visit.

Jack Chambers is the brother of the sheriff, but has a much different character. He is quiet and more solitary, which is why his job as Game Warden suits him. He is strong and loyal, but he is also lonely. I like seeing Jack learning about mer folk, and how they live and trying to get closer to Grace as his attraction to her grows. I like that Jack is open to trying, even if he gets his heart broken if Grace feels different than he does.

Grace is a mermaid, magical and courageous. She is a survivor, and has managed to escape the evil leviathan although she is worried about her friends still in the water. I enjoyed seeing her react to Jack, and giggled at her inner dialog about whether he is interested. I like that they are both just a bit reticent about rushing the other, and I liked that Grace was so accepting of Jack being a bear instead of another mer being. She is ready and willing to take the next step, and when danger ties to take her, she discovers she is stronger with Jack by her side.

As the leviathan continues to pose a threat offshore, the residents of Grizzly Cove want to find a way to offer sanctuary to any of the water dwelling beings if need be. The ceremony Jack’s friend Gus, the shaman, performs is lovely, and helps to balance out their powers to help keep Grace safer from the lure of the creature. There are some very touching scenes, some humorous spots, and lots of hot in the rain passion. This is one for those who believe in magic and love, and enjoy the battle between good and evil. Keep the fan on high and the tissues close, and enjoy the visit.

John is the Alpha bear of Grizzly Cove, a town built to his own design, made up mostly of bear shifters. He brought them all together, so it’s on him when the community comes under attack.

He needs her help to combat the evil targeting the town, but there seems to be more to their relationship.

A battle to the death…

When evil attacks from the ocean, can John afford not to utilize Urse’s skills to protect the town and people in it? Better still, can John reconcile his inner bear’s demand that she is his mate, with his lifelong dream of leading his people into a new way of living—in a town built just for them? Or will he have to give up Grizzly Cove in order to keep the woman he loves?

It has been a strange few weeks in Grizzly Cove, and Alpha John Marshall is starting to wonder what will happen next. Three of his friends have found mates, a Master vampire washed up on the beach, and a ‘sea monster’ has taken up residence in the cove.

When he pays a visit to the new bookstore in town to welcome the two human women, Ursula and Amelia Ricoletti, to the town, he discovers that they have not been completely honest…they are more than just human, they are strega, hereditary Italian witches, magic users. When he confronts the town lawyer with the knowledge, Tom surprises him by telling him about an experience he had with a strega during a conflict years before. While John considers whether the women can stay, the ‘sea monster’ is identified as a leviathan, a being of great evil, and it is trying to consume the magic of the shifters and others gathered near the cove. Ursula is a descendent of a famous Marsican bear and his strega mate, and her magic is uniquely suited to building a permanent ward to protect the people of Grizzly Cove, that is, if the Alpha lets them stay. The more John is around Ursula, the stronger his bear is at telling him that she is their mate. When other magical beings arrive in a time of crisis, John has to decide whether they are what they say, and when help comes in the form of the fey, Cameron, John must decide to accept that he is who, and what, he says he is. Can John accept a magical woman for his mate? Will the other bears accept Ursula and Amelia, knowing they are not fully human? How much will Ursula sacrifice to stop the evil of the leviathan from affecting Grizzly Cove and its residents?

Alpha Bear is the fourth of Bianca D’Arc’s Grizzly Cove series, and things are starting to get dangerous and exciting in this small Pacific Northwest community. New people, not all of them human, are coming, and some will form alliances to combat the evil that seems to be growing. The characters in this town are starting to show their courage and loyalty to good in their actions, and I like the way they are supporting each other in this time of evil intent. I like the way Ms. D’Arc adds new characters to the mix, just when they are most needed, and that these ‘new’ characters are not exactly new, just new to this venue. This world is getting more fascinating with each book, even as the danger grows.

John Marshall is the mayor/Alpha of Grizzly Cove, and he takes his responsibilities very seriously. He is strong and smart, and at first he is angry about what he sees as the deception that the Ricoletti sisters perpetrated. I liked that John kept an open mind, and was willing to seek information about strega before making any decision. And I loved watching as he had debates with his inner bear about Ursula and what she was to them. I like that John is cautious about those who move to ‘his’ town, and yet he is also fair, giving every chance to prove worth.

Ursula Ricoletti is a very powerful strega, with a bit of bear blood far back in her heritage. She is on the side of the Light, and is worried that she and her sister will be told that they have to leave Grizzly Cove. When she learns that her Nonna (grandmother) had a premonition that the sisters would be needed there, she encouraged them to move there. I like that Ursula is not intimidated at all by the Alpha, and that she is more than willing to go toe to toe with him when she knows she is in the right. I like watching as she started giving of herself to help the town, and I enjoyed watching the dance between Ursula and John.

This book is a little darker that the previous books in the series. We get the first real look at the power of the leviathan, and just how evil it is, and how much it will take to protect Grizzly Cove. There is also the question of whether the bears are willing to accept mages, witches, and magic users in the town, at least until they are shown how valuable the magic can be. This book showcases the battle that is beginning, the age old conflict of good versus evil, and hints of worse things to come. There are also some lighter moments, and some very passion filled encounters between Ursula and John. Ms. D’Arc continues to enrich this world with colorful and richly detailed characters, and I enjoyed the visit of a few ‘old friends’ from other books as well. This is for those readers who like bear shifters and magic and romance, ad having things just a bit dangerous. On caution, read with the lights on…that leviathan is one scary sea monster.

Sheriff’s Deputy Zak is one of the few black bear shifters in a colony of grizzlies. He’s used to taking guff from his comrades, but it’s all in good fun. He’s fought beside these guys for many years and it’s time they all stopped roaming and picked a place to settle. Grizzly Cove seemed as good a place as any when the idea was proposed, and Zak likes the slow-moving police work in the sleepy coastal town.

And when adversity strikes, will she turn to him, or run into the night? Zak will do all he can to make sure she chooses him.

Grizzly Cove is growing every day. Sheriff Brody and Tom Masdan, the town lawyer, both found mates in the human Baker sisters. After the threat to Ashley back is resolved, Tom and Brody want to make sure that the remaining sister is protected when she works the late shift. To keep Tina safe, Brody asks his deputy, Zak Flambeau, to watch over her. Zak finds this to be the easiest duty the sheriff has ever assigned, because even Zak’s bear is attracted to the youngest of the Baker sisters. For her part, Tina has the same attraction to Zak, and she secretly decides he is going to be her ‘forever bear’ if she has anything to say about it.

When a Master bloodletter shows up at the bakery on night, injured to the point of madness, Zak quickly steps up to protect Tina and call in the troops to handle the threat. It turns out, Master Hiram is not the threat here but the victim of an attack by a ‘sea monster’ and once his story is heard, the town leaders (the Alpha, sheriff and lawyer) offer to help. But when Zak and Tina go on a picnic, Tina is attacked by whatever is in the water, and Zak goes bear to save her. Will Tina and Zak be the next mated couple? What is the next step against the danger under the waves in the cove? Is this an isolated incident, or just a harbinger of worse to come?

Night Shift is the third of the Grizzly Cove series, and the first that begins to point toward a greater threat to the town, and to humanity as well as the shifters. I liked that, in this book, Ms D’Arc brings in some new characters not seen in the town before, like Master Hiram, the bloodletter. This world is expanding, and each character added comes with a rich and detailed history behind them. I like that Ms D’Arc chooses to not call her vampires by that slightly overused term, but indicates that ‘they prefer the term bloodletters’. This is the first real danger that has surfaced (almost literally) in Grizzly Cove, and I enjoyed watching how the bears handled it.

Zak Flambeau is the Grizzly Cove deputy, but unlike most of the residents, he is not a massive grizzly bear. Zak is a slightly smaller black bear; still strong and deadly, but faster and more cunning when in action. I like Zak for the confidence he has, both about who he is and what he can do. I like that he came from a rough beginning and built himself a better life in the military, turning his fellow bears/troops into the family that he never really had. Seeing Zak with Tina shows how honorable and caring he is. And it doesn’t hurt that he is hot and sexy, either; Zak is the whole package.

Tina is the youngest of the Baker sisters, and has been, by her own admission, a bit of a wild one. She wants what her sisters have found; someone to love her and be there for her. When Zak draws protection duty, she gets to know and admire him, and when he springs into action to keep Master Hiram from doing any harm, she realizes just how much she likes the deputy. Hiram may be more polished and urbane, but it is Zak’s slightly rough around the edges character that draws her to him. I like Tina’s determination to make Zak her ‘forever bear’ and I enjoyed watching as she took the initiative with him on their first date. I also like her courage, that she didn’t outright panic when the ‘sea monster’ tried to pull her into the cove.

This is the first hint of the danger that appears to inhabit Grizzly Cove, and the powers behind it. There are new characters introduced in Master Hiram and ties to the greater were community at large. There is also passion, humor and surprises in store, and there were times when I actually giggled at the silliness of the characters. But this one is definitely a bit darker, with the, as yet unnamed, ‘sea monster’ in the cove threatening those in the town. The scorching heat between Zak and Tina boils over in places, and the heat is unbelievable at times…how can two people be that hot together and not spontaneously combust? If you like your shifters big and sexy, and you’re ready for a happy ever after while still leaving a threat hanging over the town, then this is the story to read. But keep plenty of ice on hand, you will need it.

Now, with Brody mated to the oldest of the sisters, the Alpha asks Tom to check out the rest of the sisters to be sure they can be trusted to keep the secret of the town.

I like that this world keeps expanding, and that the loyalty of the community is willing to accept humans as well as all varieties of bears. I loved the small town feeling of Grizzly Cove, and liked learning about the various talents each of the bears is developing.

Tom Masdan is the town lawyer, smart and loyal to the community. He has the responsibility of making sure that the folks approved to move to Grizzly Cove are not a danger to the town and the secret it holds, and he takes his responsibility very seriously. He knew all about the incident in Ashley’s past, and he felt that what happened was not her fault, and felt that she and her sisters would be an asset to the community, and now, having met her and found that she may just be his mate, he will make sure that she and her family is safe.

When she finds out that Tom, the town’s sexy and handsome lawyer knows about her past, she is afraid she will have to run again. She is shocked by her attraction to the town lawyer, and stunned when he seems to feel the same about her. I like that Ashley is not afraid to get closer to Tom, and enjoyed watching as these two found out how fast a relationship can move with the right partner.

There are lots of seriously hot encounters between Tom and Ashley, once they get past the initial meeting. I laughed so much at the description the men gave of how they ‘persuaded’ the reporter to leave town when he came looking for a story about Ashley, and how the bears all protected the sisters from the perceived threat of exposure. There are some very sweet moments in this as well, but it is one very hot romance; these bears don’t play around once they have met their mate, that is for sure. I look forward to more in this world, and recommend this to anyone who likes hot bear shifter romance.

For thousands of years men have been searching for amerikabulteni.com cialis 40 mg a natural aphrodisiac, then your search ends with organic Acai. These are physical reason that occur ED sildenafil super active in a person, some psychological reasons are sleeping problems, tension, stress, anxiety and relationship problems can cause a lot of issues at work. The first thing that you should buy viagra 100mg do is clear your browser history because nobody wants to see that. The joining tadalafil india cialis of impacts of Sildenafil Citrate and Dapoxetine significantly enhances male sexual wellbeing. Welcome to Grizzly Cove, where the sheriff has more than the peace to protect. The proprietor of the new bakery in town is clueless about the dual nature of her nearest neighbors, but not for long. It’ll be up to Sheriff Brody to clue her in and convince her to stay calm—and in his bed—for the next fifty years or so. Yeah, that might be enough. Then again, maybe he’ll keep her forever.

Grizzly Cove…an idyllic town, established as an artist’s colony. Peaceful, but with one unusual feature…most of the residents of this small town are bear shifters, recently retired from Special Forces and trying something never done before, live together as a community. The notable exceptions to this are the fully human Baker sisters, Nell, Ashley and Tina. Ironically, they own and operate the only bakery in town.

Sheriff Brody finds Nell the most attractive of the sisters, and his inner bear says she is their mate, but he is not ready to expose the secret of Grizzly Cove to her. When a drunk koala shifter comes to the bakery and shifts right in front of Nell, the sheriff is conflicted; happy that Nell now knows his secret, but angry that the crazy Australian shifter was so careless. Nell has been attracted to the handsome sheriff, but felt that he was not interested until the episode in the bakery, now she is delighted to find that Sheriff Brody is determined to pursue a relationship with her. Can Nell accept Sheriff Brody’s other side? Will Brody finally be able to claim his mate? And will Nell need to keep the secret of the shifters from her two sisters?

Grizzly Cove is a new community crafted by Bianca D’Arc, with charismatic and intriguing characters and idyllic locations. It is an experimental town, filled with shifters and shifter magic, under the guise of being an ‘artist’s colony’ where each of the retired soldiers finds a way to be creative and contribute to the town. I loved the idea that these dangerous Special Forces shifters were using hidden talents and finding out that they were good at something besides being warriors. Ms. D’Arc has filled her town with a variety of characters, from the wood carving sheriff, the lawyer who paints and many others.

Sheriff Brody is strong and handsome, and keeps the town safe and secure. He can’t reveal his feelings to Nell, until the koala shifter exposes the shifter world right in the middle of the Baker sisters’ bakery. I like that Brody is loyal and truthful, and yet is conflicted, wanting Nell as his mate, but not willing to expose the town’s secret. And I liked watching as he took care of Nell to help ease the shock she got after the event.

Nell Baker is the eldest of the sisters, and is smart and funny and protective of her sisters. I enjoyed seeing the way she handled the shock of learning that beings of myth and legend actually exist without panicking. She is able to accept what is happening between herself and Brody, and only asks that they progress slowly. I like that, while she is worried about the effect this will have on whether she and her sisters will be allowed to stay in the one place they have been comfortable in, she wants to see where this ‘thing’ with Brody will go.

There are some fun twists in this one, from the Australian shifter who gets belligerent when inebriated, to the panda shifter and her daughter who love the sweet treats from Nell’s bakery. I like the close knit community that is forming here in Grizzly Cove, and the secrets that are slowly coming to light as we get to know the inhabitants. There are some very hot scenes between Brody and Nell, and there is truth to the rumor that, for bears, everything is better with honey. Do Nell and Brody reveal the secret of Grizzly Cove to Nell’s two sisters? You will have to read the book for the answer to that question. I recommend you run the fan on high while reading this, and be ready for lots of laughter in this romance.

But sometimes even love isn’t enough to heal a shattered soul.

And all the hard work in the world can’t save…

A broken survivor.

Tears, heartbreak, sadness, and jubilation are waiting for you in this book!

Broken Survivor is an amazing story of challenges, frustration, of giving up and acceptance. The story follows the life of Holly Hewitt from young teenager to adult. Holly is forced to grow up quickly due to the broken home she lives in which finally culminates into the murder of her mother. Throughout the book Holly deals with the remorse of poor choices and the guilt that she has caused her mother’s death.

The author does an amazing job at chronicling the life of Holly and bringing her emotions to the forefront. Whereas Holly sometimes makes poor decisions and has to face the consequences, the reader is placed in a position to understand the thoughts that have caused Holly to take the actions which she has taken.

The internal struggles, disappointment and fears that Holly feels are feelings that resonate with the reader. The lack of a support system, a broken family circle and the ever consuming feelings of worthlessness and abandonment from being forced from home to home tear at the heart of the reader. Jace, the appointed School Social Worker tries to walk Holly through the grief and rebuilding processes but even Jace is forced to back down when Holly is unwilling to change her actions.

The relationship between Holly and her boyfriend Zander is one that goes beyond physical attraction. When Holly and Zander first spend time together, the reader begins to understand that Zander can see the beauty that Holly hides from the world. Holly holds back, fearing the destructive cycle of abuse that she has so often witnessed her mother being pulled into. The author is remarkable in portraying the sexual attraction and the internal struggle that Holly finds herself facing.

The author vividly reinforces the ever strong tide of emotions within Holly. The constant nightmares become more and more real, the memories that Holly struggles to repress come flooding back with a vengeance. The letters that Holly writes to her mother show her inward struggles and growing feelings of depression. These all add to the outward constant struggle that the reader is made keenly aware of through Holly’s interactions. One of the greatest quotes that I found which describe Holly’s feelings is: “it felt like I was trapped in the bad memories and couldn’t escape.”

Holly is a very likable character and for those who have gone through struggles similar to hers will find that the feelings, choices and struggles presented by the author are very real and approached in a very strong way. Several times throughout the book Holly struggles to understand her own emotions which have come to torment her.

If you want to read a story where you feel you grow as much as the characters grow and you wish to feel the raw emotions stir within you just like the author describes, I highly recommend this book! I could not put it down!

What good is being king if you can’t burn your own rules?

Ethereal Foes, Book 4

In the two years since Jentaron hatched, he’s grown into an adult blue dragon full of the knowledge of his royal predecessors. He’s a true king, even if the other denizens of the Ethereal, those demons, havoc, angels and the like, continue to test him.

But he’s got heavier worries. Namely, an unspeakable danger that threatens all life as the planet knows it. He can feel it, can sense that he’s got a bigger role to play than just pissing off the Ethereal.

With the blood elves and havoc making more trouble than usual, magic no longer flowing freely in the Abyss, and angels massacring everything demonic they can get their holy hands on, the Balance has reached a tipping point. Time to take charge before the rules change.

The court granted bail to them and the procedure to stop a filibuster. cheap cialis professional http://deeprootsmag.org/2017/08/13/expressing-the-power-and-beauty-of-difference/
What’s a dragon to do but create his own chaos? He’ll take a mate or two, instill fear where needed, and finally return dragonkind to the Ordinary—the human lands—where a dragon will decide the fate of the worlds.

Because he’s king, and he says so.

As the Dragon King, Jentaron is the most powerful being in the lower realm. But he has kept the true strength of his abilities hidden, letting others believe he is less than he is. He knows that what is coming soon will change all the realms, and if what he has foreseen comes to pass, it will be war, with the very existence of all beings in jeopardy.

Zelec is one of the strongest of the higher demons, but even he needs to take time to relax. When he encounters Ella in a bar in the Ordinary, he realizes that there is something different about her. He quickly realizes she is a nephilim, a rare offspring of an angel and a human, and powerful in her own right. Zelec doesn’t do love, but something about Ella continues to draw him in. When she has a vision of horrible beings set to conquer the planet, she collapses, and Zelec takes her to the only safe place he knows of in the Ordinary…James Sinclair’s penthouse.

When Jentaron encounters Ella there, he realizes that she is part of his destiny, one of his mates, and that the other is Zelec. Only if all three bond together can they hope to defeat the Hunger, and evil like no one has seen. The hunger is determined to destroy all in its path, but with Jentaron leading, there is a union of angels, demons, dragons and all other paranormals in this world, all united to meet a common enemy. Can the different groups work together to defeat the Hunger, or will the petty squabbles endanger all of humanity and the other realms? Can Ella and Jentaron convince Zelec that they want him forever, not just for the battle ahead? And will the shock of learning about their parentage cause Ella and Zelec more problems?

The Dragon King: Not So Ordinary is the final episode of Marie Harte’s Ethereal Foes series. It is a story filled with danger, passion and lots of surprises for many of the characters that live in this world. The world building has been consistent throughout, and the characters continue to be well crafted and unpredictable. I like that, even after three previous books, there was more to learn about each character, and there were many surprises revealed in this one.

Jentaron is the King of the Dragons, and he is a mix of innocence and sensuality. Those around him continuously underestimate him, and belittle him. He hides his power, because he knows it is not the right time to let others know what he knows; that there is a war coming, one that could end the world as they know it. He knows he must unite the many different groups, angels, demons, dragons and other beings if they want to defeat their common enemy. Watching as Jentaron slowly reveals his actual powers is a treat, and as he finds his mates to boost his levels, I really enjoyed watching him finally come into his position as a leader. I also liked that he did not lose his joy in the little things in life, and still enjoyed having fun, in spite of the pressure he is under.

Ella is a strong and powerful female, but she has no idea that what she calls her ‘family gift’ is in fact a powerful effect of being a nephilim. She thought she was human, and only after meeting two super hot males does she learn what she really is. As she grows closer to Jentaron and Zelec, she begins to discover just how powerful the three of them are together. I like Ella, with her snarky attitude and her determination to see where the relationship with her guys will go next. I loved that she was willing to accept who and what she is, and I really laughed when she finally met her father and discovered the source of all her power.

Zelec is a strong and sexy higher demon. He says he doesn’t do love, but his actions don’t match his words. He has a vulnerability that very seldom shows, but both Ella and Jentaron sense that there is more to him than he lets on. I love Zelec because he doesn’t apologize for anything…he is a demon and proud of it. He is an especially powerful demon, and the reason behind his powers becomes clear when his parentage is finally revealed to him, almost by accident. He is determined to leave once the battle is fought, but I enjoyed watching as Ella and Jentaron broke down his defenses and showed him that they loved him, just as he is.

This story brings in the worst danger possible, a horde of beings determined to decimate every being on the world, and destroy humanity and the other realms as they have done to many other worlds before. There is humor in this, and lots of dragon/demon/nephilim passion, but there is also danger and fear as well. It shows that to be victorious, sometimes enemies must unite in the face of overwhelming odds to defeat a common foe, and that only with a true sharing of passion can the enemy finally be defeated. There are surprises here, some very shocking and one I did not see coming at all. I found this to be a very satisfying conclusion to the Ethereal Foes series, with all of the threads brought together to a close. I do recommend a lot of cold drinks, air conditioning and tissues, as there are tears, laughter and lots of very hot and passion filled scenes.
