BOOK 2 IS DONE

  Good afternoon my peeps we have book 2 for you. We have a historical fantasy for you . ROGUE'S CALL BY C.A Szarek. 

                            BOOK BLURB

 She’s on the run, but doesn’t know it…

Raised in the security of the king’s castle, Lady Elissa Durroc remembers nothing of the death of her family or how she survived it. As an elemental mage with control over all four elements, her powers are rare. And coveted by dark magic. None darker than the mage who killed her parents.

When the king learns the mage knows Elissa is alive, he orders her to Greenwald under the guise of choosing a husband. Her protection falls to Sir Alasdair Kearney, a knight whose prowess on the battlefield is rivaled only by his appetite for women.

Alasdair’s not sure what to make of being a glorified nursemaid, despite Elissa’s beauty and intriguing magic. The rogue has rules. Rules that don’t involve being tempted by his noble charge.

Elissa is drawn to the knight, even though he’s not on her list of suitors. Can she guard her heart and her magic? And when the dark mage comes after her, will it be too late to matter?

                        MY REVIEW

 Elissa is an elemental mage and has been raised in the castle for as long as she remembers. When the dark mage kills her family she doesn't understand how she survived. But, when the king learns she is alive she is taken to Glenwald in the guise of finding a husband. When she is under the protection of Sir Alissadar Kearney . He isn't really sure what to think of being a nursemaid to the beautiful Elissa . He has to guard her with his life but who is going to guard his heart from the beautiful lass. 

     Elissa is a sweet character and she is sweet an innocent and can charm most people. There is more to her also she is an elemental mage in control of all four elements and is sought after by those who wield dark magic.  Alissadar is a knight and he is kind of full of himself sometimes like all knights are. He is strong and wants to have Elissa but he doesn't think he should but through it all he stays with her and keeps her safe. These characters are well written but I do feel they can become more complex with each book that comes out. 

  I didn't realize when I started this book that there was a couple books ahead of it . It makes sense now, that I was kind of lost at the beginning. The author does paint a fun picture of lords ,ladies and knights. There are moments during the book where it just seemed to lag a little but over all I did enjoy the book and the characters . This would be a good read for those rainy days.

However, when Nonie learns that the truth behind her arrival in the past is far more sinister than she expected, the lines begin to blur.Trapped between the events unfolding in front of her eyes and the history she remembers; Nonie becomes the anchor point the future hinges on. With Kieran’s life on the line, she must make a decision that could delete her future and change the timeline forever.

                                       MY REVIEW 

      Nonie a seventeen year old prodigy has made Lieutenant in the USEF program and is sent on a mission that takes her to an alien planet . But Nonie finds herself stranded on the USEF ship the Pioneer 

forty years in the past with legends that she has learnt of .  When she she meets Captain Kieran Wildason she feels compelled and drawn to him.  She can't interfere with his time line because she could destroy each of them. Now she is stuck between time lines and has become the anchor point that both the future and the past depend on. 

    Nonie is a sweet character but is also as tough as nails . She is trying to figure out what she should do

when she is stuck between the two worlds the past and future. She comes to terms with what is happening  while she is fighting to protect the past and the future.  Kieran is a hero in her life from the future. He is a good guy who commands attention but only wants what is right . They are a good team and they really do have a good way of communicating and helping each other . They are well written and have room to grow and become more complex through out the book. 

  This is one of those stories that has fun characters , intrigue , aliens and time jumps into the past . The author has written a fun story with wonderful characters . It is a long book but as you read it , it doesn't feel like it is a long read. i truly enjoyed this story and the characters but I did feel like in some areas it did drag just a little . Not enough to take me out of the book but it was there. Over all this was a great book and I think your teens would like to read . So if you want a book you and your teen can read this fall and winter season

GOOD AFTERNOON MY FRIENDS

   Good afternoon my peeps , sorry I haven't been around summer on the farm has been busy and I mean busy this summer. Today I have for you book 2 in the The Lady and the Blade series . BENEATH HIS BLADE by Hp Mallory 

                           BOOK BLURB

                        I came to Camelot to destroy the king. Instead, I became his prisoner.

When my forbidden magic is exposed, I'm branded a witch, a traitor, and a threat to the realm.

Now my magic has been exposed, my freedom has been stripped away, and everyone in Camelot seems determined to decide my fate.

Arthur wants my obedience.

Lancelot wants to forget me.

And Corvin would burn down kingdoms to keep me safe.

As forbidden magic awakens and tensions rise within Camelot's walls, I'm forced to navigate a deadly game of loyalty, betrayal, and desire: all while trying not to lose myself to the men who threaten to consume every piece of me.

They think they've captured a witch.

They're about to discover they've trapped something much more dangerous.

                        MY REVIEW 

  Guinevere has been captured by King Arthur and is now imprisoned at Camelot.  Arthur wants to claim her , Lancelot just honestly wants to forget her and his love for her. Covin will do anything to have her even burn down the world for her. She is trying to figure out what she should do , it seems that a piece of her belongs to each man. But when a forbidden magic starts to awaken , Guin is forced to navigate a web of darkness that has her questioning loyalty , betrayal and the desire that is building and not loosing herself in the desire each man has for her .

   Guin is a strong woman who is just a beacon on how to do things to keep her sanity in the court, she is strong but also soft in so many ways . She is basically the heart of this book and you really want her to come through everything ok. Her strength has her best and worst trait. She fights a silent battle for the men who want to control her. You really see her growth through out the book. You really start cheer for her and love her. 

 This is a story of what can happen when your power is there and will help you out . There is such a perseverance of character and when push comes to shove your inner strength will come through and get you through the bad times and help you navigate the darkness . This is a big book that is steeped in legends and lore and such a new twist on the Camelot lore . I would read book one before venturing deeper into this story.  It is a great read and I love the lore and the darkness  that is is evolving through out this series . Lets see where she takes them in future books . This will be a great read for the winter reading list .

GOOD EVENING ALL

  Good evening all, hope your summer is going well and you are staying cool in the heatwave. We have started haying along with reading it has been busy out here. Today I have for you SUN KING  book 47 in the Haven Hollow series by HP Mallory and JR Rain.

                           BOOK BLURB 

A royal coronation. An ancient alchemical elixir. A bargain that could cost Poppy everything.

Life in Haven Hollow has finally begun to feel... normal.

 Poppy is settling into her new life as an alchemist, her relationship with Andre has never been stronger, and her son Finn is one step closer to embracing his own magical future.

Then the heir to the Summer Court, Cosmo, walks into her potion shop.

Cosmo needs a rare alchemical elixir known as Sun King for his upcoming coronation, and he insists that Poppy is the only person capable of brewing it. The request seems straightforward—until a single kiss leaves behind a mysterious magical mark... and strange dreams begin pulling Poppy toward a destiny she never agreed to.

As ancient faerie traditions awaken, political tensions simmer between the Courts, and dangerous magic blurs the line between dream and reality, Poppy must uncover the truth before she loses more than her heart.

Because in Faerie, every favor has a price.

And the Summer Court never asks for anything it isn't prepared to take.

                               MY REVIEW 

 Things in Haven Hollow have been normal or as normal as one can get with a town full of super naturals . Poppy is settling down with her new powers as an alchemist, trying not to blow up the whole hollow. She is love with the man of her dreams and her soul mate. Her friends are all doing well and thriving . Wanda is adjusting to being a vampire to keep her niece human. Things are going great until the day a Fae comes in and asks for her to make a potion called the Sun King for an upcoming coronation in the Summer court . But after a kiss on the cheek give Poppy scary dreams and lustful thoughts . They have to figure out what is going on before Cosmos claims her and Finn to capture the crown . 

  Poppy and the guys are back and funnier than ever . Poppy is still sweet and overly kind but she is also kind of a basket case when it comes to Alchemy. She is in love and happy most of the time . Cosmos is a fae from the summer court and is very charming and calculating in ways that would make you blush. He is someone you can't turn your back on , he is ruthless in what he wants . Wanda , Talia and the rest of the hollow are back ready to fight for Poppy and get her  out of jam she got herself into . 

   These characters are like coming home, they have become like your best friends and family . I couldn't wait to crack open the book and start reading . I laughed through out the book thinking what else could they possibly get into . This series has so many off shoots but each and every book is like coming home and relaxing . If you like a good fun, fast read this is the book for you .
