Review: I Am The Wild by Karpov Kinrade

I Am The Wild by Karpov Kinrade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another fantastic KK book that shows how an "ordinary" woman finds out how extraordinary she really is.

Eve finds an ad in the paper for a rather odd job but necessity causes her to apply anyway. Through this book, Eve helps the Night brothers with a case and helps them deal with their own inner demons.

I'm still reeling from the ending of this book! I mean OMG!

This book was well written with characters that were relatable and easy to fall in love ❤️ with. It's a good thing that this is not a stand-alone book because you become so invested in the characters that you don't want to let them go.

I'd like to thank the author for giving me the opportunity to read this book by providing me with a free copy in exchange for an unbiased review.

A collection of quite difficult puzzles. I found them quite challenging in a good way. I do wish they would have had a mixture of difficultly levels in the book. This book will keep me busy for quite a while.

Review: Sky Dreams by Keta Diablo

Sky Dreams, Book 3 (Sweet Historical Romance) by Keta Diablo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ms. Diablo is able to make the heroine of this story relatable to me in such a deep and soulful way. I've found throughout this series that her characters are filled with such depth that you can't help but feel sorry when you have to leave them behind at the end of the book.

Having lost a husband myself I know what scars that can leave on a soul. So when Haven runs from her pain I see myself in her. But, as with me, running was not the answer.

Could Haven and Cade have known what lies ahead when he saved her on the train? Who's heart was going to get broken? Who could be turning the town against one another? Who would help turn Haven's heart back on the right path? Would it be too late?

There are so many answers and so many things to unfurl that you'll not want to put this down. Take the time to sit down with this read today.

I did have one little issue with the book. There was a gift given in the book that should have had meaning toward the end but didn't show up. It was just built up to but kinda dropped out of sight.

In the continuing, thrilling saga of Dawson and Rory Finch, Dawson is sent by the army to chase hostiles across Dakota Territory. Rory nurtures their daughter through her first year of life while fighting the demons that plague her thoughts night and day …warning her of impending doom.

When a letter arrives from the army, telling Rory that Dawson is missing in action and presumed dead, her world is shattered. Fending off pleas from her sister and husband to move on with her life, not to mention a marriage proposal from a determined suitor, Rory holds fast to what she knows in her heart...Dawson is still alive.


Sky Dance, Book 2 by Keta Diablo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No matter what others thought Rory's heart held true to the fact that Dawson was still alive. The trip from beginning to the very end of this book held me captive and made me want for more. I'm so impressed with the emotion that the author was able to pull from me. Each twist, though some were expected, gripped my heart and pulled emotion from me I wasn't expecting to have such an impact. I even cried at the very end at the happily ever after.

Thank you, Keta for giving me everything I expected from you and more. I can't wait for book three.

Sky Tinted Water by Keta Diablo

Publisher's Insight:

Clean historical romance

Family bonds, malevolent schemes and passion collide in this sweet historical novel. Set in Minnesota during the Civil War and the Sioux uprising, this is the story of Rory Hudson, the exquisite Irish lass with an unbreakable spirit and the enigmatic Dawson Finch, a man bound by honor, duty and loyalty. 

When Dawson enlists in the army to bring peace to nation divided, Rory’s world plummets into a tailspin. War, distance and time separate them, but nothing can dispel the haunting memories of their love. Not even death can destroy their fierce passion or a love so strong it beats the odds of the impossible.

Minnesota, civil war, Dakota uprising, romance, mystery, suspense


Review:

Sky Tinted Water by Keta Diablo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am not fond of historical romance or historical books in general but this book changed my mind completely.

Moving with her sister to a new town is what Isabelle needed so Rory made sure that she accommodated her. Isabelle was the only mother she had ever known since her mother and father died coming across the boat on the way over to the United States.

After the move, Rory explores the woods outside her home and comes upon a half-naked man bathing in a creek. She's mesmerized by the site. When she's caught both literally and figuratively she runs and doesn't seem to give him a second thought until she sees him again until the barn raising for her brother-in-law's barn.

Circumstances bring them together and they live happily ever after until the war, and until the "creep" takes her. The foreshadowing is quite obvious although you think that more is going on than there really is until the end when you finally up 2+2 together.

A definite must read if you are looking for a must read for a sweet read that will give you romance without "all that jazz". I'm totally looking forward to book two so I can make sure that my hunch for the gifts is true. Though I wish that it would have been covered in book one.

Review: One Summer by David Baldacci

One Summer by David Baldacci
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was blown away by this book. Multidimensional, with characters that make you feel for every second of the book. You are so caught up by the emotion you can't wait until the next "page" to come up.

It was nice seeing the growth of this story from heartbreak to miraculous circumstance to healing. Meeting Jack, Micky (Mikkie - whichever way it's spelled - hard to tell from audio book), Corey and little Jakie is such a great family dynamic.

This story covers:

* heartache
* second chances
* change
* betrayal
* forgiveness
* and so much more.

I love that the audiobook has sections of it that have music themes. There are tender moments with sweet music and suspenseful moments with that eerie music you just can't shake. The narrator was easy to listen to and did great in segueing into the next voice without grating on your nerves.
