She will finally have the opportunity to kill the man who gave the general his orders, and avenge her family. She doesn’t expect the king to be young or kind, or completely oblivious of what his men are doing overseas. He has been told peaceful negotiations are going well, and the natural resources and ambassadors from the mainland seem to support this report. But Asta knows better.

Asta must find proof of the general’s treachery and bring it before the king so that she can save unconquered provinces from meeting the same fate as her hometown. But the king’s counselors suddenly start dying, and the king himself is hounded by foreign assassins. Revenge will have to wait if Asta’s going to keep the king, the mainland’s only hope, alive.

Heart-pounding and fast-paced, this packs a punch! This story has equal shared action and mystery, with a hint of romance and powerful friendships.

From the start I could tell that Asta was going to be an interesting character to spend time with. Now I only wish I could spend more with her! This story is packed full of emotion and fast-paced, while still being easy to follow, and constantly drawing the reader deeper into the story and mystery, lies and discoveries.

The story is solid, both the writing and characters are enjoyable and easy to keep up with. I loved the lore of the gods and the different kingdoms. It felt a bit historically inspired, while also having a mythology/SFF type setting that worked well together.

This story deals a lot with kingdoms and warriors, with gods and blessings/abilities thrown in, but I could see a lot of different readers enjoying this story, with strong characters, and detailed story-line this book is one that’d likely appeal to many readers.

Wick was a normal young man, passing his days at a part-time job and wasting his nights with friends and booze. That was until someone smashed a brick to the side of his head and knocked Wick’s life upside down. The culprit, Kenny, a young man in a dire situation, has only one goal: to get the job done, no matter who gets in his way. On opposite sides, Wick and Kenny, along with their shared circle of friends, low-lifes, drug dealers, an ex-flame, a cop battling his own demons, and each other, will find out just how similar their situations are, and if only one of them can make it out alive.

Wick and Kenny are both in a bind – desperately needing money but with no real way to earn it. So they hatch a crazy plan. Wick works in a convenience store, Kenny in a liquor store. They arrange for each to rob the other and share their proceeds. Can they get away with their smash and grab plan?

I found this story to be a really interesting premise – and while not all that unique, the freshness of the characters and quick pace of the storyline had me turning the pages eagerly. I really enjoyed the author’s voice – finding it modern and a little bit gritty. The characters and pace of the action made the story feel a bit too young to be described as noir – but it left me with that sort of feeling, as if the characters had been middle-aged men or the scene more grey and dreary, rainy, it could easily have been a hard-boiled, noir style of story. Regardless, Wick and Kenny were mysterious, interesting characters I found myself almost immediately curious about and the fast pace of the story kept my attention throughout.

The plot was simultaneously simple and more complicated than I originally assumed. Two young guys, broke, working dead-end jobs and desperately needing money isn’t unexpected or unique. But the fact it’s so very relatable and easy to understand is what drew my curiosity. The reasons behind why Wick and Kenny both needed the money was far more complicated and helps give depth and layers to the plot that I felt really helped round out the story into being something more enjoyable than an easy heist story. I also really enjoyed that there was a strong cast of secondary characters, all interwoven with each other. This careful meshing of various characters all with different agendas and outlooks really helped deepen the story to my mind.

This is a strong mystery-style of a story, and I felt Wick in particular was a complex and interesting character – a fairly young, regular guy caught up in a difficult situation and wanting to do his best with the hand he was dealt with. I think readers looking for a modern and well-written, quick mystery read should find this to be a good choice.

In Montana to prove her portable solar panel can solve the world’s energy problems, naïve scientist, Dr. Marie Wilson must first fight to survive, and then expose the powerful businessman intent on destroying her life’s work.

Ex-special forces soldier, David Quinn is haunted by the horrors of combat, and yearns to be left alone with his beehives, but agrees to do one last job for his old mentor.

When the scariest man she’s ever met becomes her savior, Marie discovers a heart of gold beats beneath his surly demeanor.

Looking for a book where the action starts right off and never really slows down? This would be a very good choice for you!

Because of problem of erectile dysfunction, old men were noted to be facing the impotence issue but nowadays even the young men in viagra sale mastercard twenties and thirties are noted to be facing the hard-on attaining problems.Tremendous rise is being noted in the occurrence of the impotence in the men.
Just a few pages into this story, our heroine, Marie, is alone in a cabin in the middle of nowhere when four men with guns burst in through the door. She’s dressed in long underwear and nothing else, and does whatever she can to escape. Thankfully, one of the men has a change of heart when he realizes what they are actually up to, and helps.

I liked Marie right off. It’s funny, she has this idea that she’s a frightened, incapable woman (I blame this on her good-for-nothing father) but she manages to escape more than once from the people trying to capture or kill her. She’s smart and actually pretty darn fearless. I guess we never know what we’re capable of until we’re put into a situation where we have to step up or die. She was, thankfully, never stupid (okay, one time I questioned what she did, but…) and always smart and brave.

I like David, too. He really just wants to live his life off the grid in peace, but finds himself smack dab in the middle of trouble. Never one to take injustice lying down, he does everything he can to figure out who’s on his side and who isn’t, and to protect Marie.

The suspense portion of this book is pretty well spot on. Lots of action, lots of intrigue, never entirely knowing who’s a good guy and who isn’t (with some exceptions). The suspense and action kept me turning pages. I read this book in just a couple of days because it definitely held my interest. I was honestly surprised to find out one of the cops was not what I thought he was at the end. And I do hope to see the head of the Syndicate get their comeuppance (what a horrible sociopath that person turned out to be).

The romance portion took a little suspension of disbelief. It’s not that Marie and David didn’t have chemistry–they absolutely did. My big issue is, I’m not a fan of “instalove” and these two weren’t together long before they were madly in love with each other. I remember a line from the movie “Speed” where Sandra Bullock’s character says, “…relationships that start under intense circumstances, they never last.” And I always wonder about that when I read this type of book. They meet while dodging bullets, the spend every minute running and dodging bullets and proclaim their love for each other in a few days. What happens when they settle down, raise bees, live a quiet life? Again, I honestly think these two will be fine because at heart they’re both really kind of quiet homebodies, but I probably would have been happier with a “happy for now” than an “HEA” in this case (and, since this is the start of a series, we could see the relationship develop some as the other books are released).

The thing I liked best about this book was the clear, strong relationship the friends had with each other. Clearly there is absolute trust between them, and each would do anything to help one of the others. I like Michael the best of the group (outside of David, of course), but Finn was interesting as well, and were there tidbits of a “twin bond” between Sinclair and David that might come up again? Only time will tell. I’m a sucker for character driven stories, and despite the plentiful action here, it was the strong, interesting characters that kept me reading.

This is a great start to what promises to be an intriguing series.

Small dogs can make big changes… if you open your heart.

But Carter needs to see himself as a hero first.

A Carter Embree can rate a Sandy Corrigan. He can be supportive. He can be a man who stands up for his principles!

Carter hated his job – or more specifically his totally horrid boss – and found himself floundering at work and unable to hold onto a relationship with another man. A chance encounter at the grocery store has Carter left in possession of a tiny fluff of a puppy – and his life is irretrievably changed.

I really enjoyed this fun and friendly story. Filled with loads of emotion and humour it was a real breath of fresh air for me. I usually find pet stories hit and miss – either the pet side of the plot consumes the story and I feel like the romance isn’t shown enough, or the exact opposite where the pet plot is virtually forgotten. I thought this story struck a really good balance between the two, largely because Sandy worked at the vet’s office and so large aspects of Carter needing help with Freckles included Sandy too and helped showcase their blossoming relationship.

I found both Carter and Sandy to be interesting and relatable characters. While their romance grew quite slowly I found it realistic, understandable and very sweet. Readers who are happy for a slower-pace in the sizzle department should find this a lovely story focused on the characters and on Freckles working her way into Carter’s affections and poor Carter finding his whole life turned inside-out. I had to laugh – my sister is a lawyer and some of Carter’s reactions (drawing up a contract for his dog-walker while making soup and the dog-walker got to know Freckles as a classic example) made me laugh, because while cheesy and seemingly silly – my sister would TOTALLY do that herself, just off the cuff and because as a lawyer it’s second nature to her.

So I have major kudos for Ms. Lane in creating relatable, realistic and fun characters and breathing some real life into this story. I absolutely enjoyed it and would strongly recommend it. With a lovely slow-burn style of romance and a gorgeous itsy little puppy I can’t imagine anyone not loving this story like I did.

Review by Rose

23-year-old apprentice nurse Lily Barrett lives in a shattered time. Following its economic collapse, the US has devolved into a group of a few barely-functional smaller states, and vast swathes of barbarian badlands. Her sister has been missing for years, and her father, after earning the opprobrium of most of the world for running a state terror organization, presumed dead.

But the liver itself becomes cialis 100mg canada the bait as the toxins will be automatically removed. Musli Kaunch capsule is one such herbal supplement that has been used for discount cialis india hundreds of years around the world to get the treatment of ED and other sexual disorders. Bacterial infections cause severe disorders and cheap cialis 20mg worries that affect the regular mechanisms of our body to large extents.

Two things keep her going: her live-in job at a small, Catholic orphanage in the city of Waxahachie, Republic of Texas, and Ai, her odd, but dear friend, whom she met online: a young woman who only shows herself to Lily as a rendered CG image.

Troubled by her past, haunted by her name, and facing an uncertain future, Lily seeks only a quiet, normal life. But, that past and her present conspire against her. A new Morning has come, and with it, delights and terrors, happiness and adversity.

This is an intriguing look at the near future in the US. It’s a dystopian timeframe and AI/robotics have gone a lot farther than they are now (the time is a little vague – in one sense it could be today, in another there are advances that seem to be a lot farther off.  In addition, some of the clues to the time seem a bit off).  Leaving that aside, though, this book is more about relationships than it is technology.

Ai (whose name in Japanese translates to Love) is Lily’s online friend – one she gets to know in a unique way. The Fourth Law shows the growth of that relationship, interspersed with some flashbacks into her life before the US collapse and some glimpses of what went on with her father during the time they were separated.  Parts of this segment made me think of the old TV show Revolution – the violence that apparently went on setting up the Republic of Texas.

I love Ai and her take on the world.  Her attitude reminds me of some of the anime characters my daughter used to watch… very upbeat and fun. Lily, as a contrast, is very serious – she’s the daughter of a man most people hate, she’s a student nurse, and she helps out at the orphanage she lives in.  She’s a complex character with a lot on her shoulder.  But the pair work together well….there are some great moments as they learn about each other’s worlds.

Barring a few minor editorial issues, I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to getting the next book n the series.  Thanks, Mr. Barnett, for a great introduction into the Machine Civilization.

Twenty-one points-of-view characters tell the story from every angle (even the Three Rivers have an opinion). Part crime thriller, part satire/comedy, and part romance, The Clown is a play-like novella.

People might have laughed at the mysterious person who entered the bank dressed in full clown costume – but they weren’t laughing for long. As costumes go, this one hid the person’s identity perfectly, and the bank heist went off without a hitch. No one was laughing for very long – except the clown.

I found this to be an interested and slightly different story, slightly gritty and a little bit bittersweet. This absolutely isn’t a romance – even though there are complicated and realistic relationships all throughout the story there isn’t really a Happily Ever After style of ending that I feel most romance readers would expect. I found this story to be realistic and the interactions between the main cast of characters somewhat complicated. Readers looking for a happy, or sweet style of story probably won’t find this fits what they are looking for. This is more of a mystery or heist-style story and a little bit noir and gritty to my mind.

Told in pieces by the perspective of a few different people this story is quite different from others I usually read. Rather originally, to my mind, some of the small sections of perspective are actual places – like a river or the city itself in a more omnipotent type of view. I was nervous this would give the whole tale a jarring feeling. While I don’t feel this method of story-telling will resonate with everyone I didn’t mind the jumping around too much. The story pretty much keeps a linear fashion of telling – while the perspectives jump around the story and timeline is kept fairly straight, so I didn’t have too much trouble following it along.

I was intrigued by two of the main characters – Scott and Ariel. While the clown conducted a string of robberies we’re given snapshots into Ariel and Scott’s life. Childhood and lifelong friends, Scott has always secretly loved Ariel, but near the end of high school Ariel fell for one of the local bad-boys and now while she knows she should leave the relationship she can’t bring herself to do it. And while The Clown is most definitely the villain of the piece, I found the different styles of heists he performed was quite interesting too.

In some respects this story reminded me of a series of small vignettes all strung together – each adding a different facet to the story and the author wove it all together to form one whole story. The style and tone of the story was fresh and quite different for me – I can’t recall having ever really read a story in a similar vein – and this, along with my curiosity about how this would all end for Ariel, Scott and The Clown – had me eagerly turning the pages right to the end. A fairly straight mystery style of novel I feel this would appeal to a wide range of readers and would be suitable for most age ranges too.

Fresh and different, this was an interesting story that I really enjoyed.

And who delivered the news? Her odd, yet attractive downstairs neighbor, Jasper… the New Interplanetary Alliance ambassador.

Before being terminated, their former Interplanetary ambassador, Etienne derailed and teamed up with Professor Trenton Beck in a rogue plan that doesn’t sit well with the universe.

Zoey, the heroine, is changed, and she had no idea how. How would she know she’d been abducted by aliens? Sam and Emma are brought into the mess, not because they were changed, but because Sam was kidnapped by the scientist’s protegee, Trenton Beck. There are plenty of characters to keep track of, but each one is memorable, so it’s not a problem.

I found this to be an interesting story, something I don’t run across all the time. I love the characters’ personalities; each one is different but they are all strong, willing to sacrifice everything to protect the ones they love and the Earth they live on. Zoey is the main character and it shows. Sam is outgoing and quick to defend those she loves. She may not have any extra sensory abilities, but she is strong and smart. Emma is brave and a leader. She hits it off with Alex, their resident geek, and learns as much as she can. She is also the mother of the group.

Then there are the Opts: Jasper who is the ambassador who is warm and stern at the same time. He and Zoey have a connection from the moment they met. One of my favorite characters was Lulu, who is the leader, and a fighter. She is the one who knows the most about Earth culture and tought the rest. She is incredibly smart, sassy, and funny. She is the one that helps the women adjust to what is going on.

Then there is the romance between Rufus and Mia, that had been developed under horrendous circumstances, when they were being trained and held captive by Beck. They are so devoted to each other and when they are separated I could feel the pain.

I love the relationship between Zoey and Jasper. It is obvious they love each other but Jasper keeps pushing back. It is against regulations to fall in love with a person from the planet they were staying on. He has to battle his feelings against his duty. Love is a major emotion that is prevalent throughout the book.

The beginning is a tad slow, but once I got past a certain point, things start happening fast. Also, the author switches between different points of view, and I found it jarring in a few sections to figure out who is talking. I also think it rushes a little too fast towards the end, and it left me a tad bit confused. Maybe a slower pacing near the end would have been better.

Other than those few quirks, this was a good read. The characters were so personable, the plot engrossing and the abilities fun to see. The romance is sweet and there seems there could be more, so I’ll have to wait for the sequel to see what happens. If you are into sci-fi, love aliens with great abilities, and strong women, I definitely recommend this book.

There was no ‘big bad’ in this story really, which absolutely worked because the trouble between Landon and Jocelyn needed to have its space, without being overcrowded with extra details.

The only thing I’m not too clear on is just how many elements Jocelyn and her sister can control? With their title of Elementals, I would have thought they could use all four. Both sisters only use fire and air, although earth was mentioned for Jenna.

This is definitely a series to continue, and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

I enjoyed the two romances between them, and wish the book was a little longer so we could see their relationship develop. This is a lovely book to snuggle up with in winter. If you love Martial Arts, strong spunky women, and a man that is that every woman would love, this book will work for you.
