HAPPY MONDAY ALL

  Good morning peeps , sorry I have been absent lately have been doing more beta reading for a couple of authors . There are some pretty good books coming out soon. Today I have for you the newest book in the Haven Hollow series MEMENTO MORI  by Hp Mallory 


                          BOOK BLURB 



 Don’t let the quaint town of Haven Hollow fool you—life in this Hollow has been anything but slow. With all the supernatural activity constantly happening here, life is a roller coaster and then some.

And yet lately… well, lately things seem to be okay. Everything seems to be running smoothly.

Until it’s not.

All of a sudden, ordinary humans seem to be remembering things they shouldn’t—things having to do with the supernatural creatures that live among them—in secret.

Secrets that are now on the verge of not being so secret.

The only explanation I have is the potion I recently brewed—one I’ve never created before.

The potion, called Memento Mori, is supposed to bring back a person’s happiest memories in vivid detail.

Sounds great, right? Well, it would be great except for the fact that random townspeople are recalling situations they have no business remembering—situations we’ve been very careful to suppress from their memories.

And now Haven Hollow is at risk.

As if dealing with this supernatural memory crisis wasn’t enough, my newfound romance with Andre has hit a snag…

Just when we were finally enjoying some precious alone time, I discovered something in his bedroom that could shatter the happiness we’ve found together.

Amid untangling the mystery behind the return of people’s dangerous memories and confronting the secret Andre may be hiding, everything around me seems to be falling apart.

And I’m not sure how I can make it right again...



                        MY REVIEW 
 Welcome back to the hollow, everything seems to be going ok for the gang but you know that isn't going to last long. Things have been going way too smoothly in town and you know what that means, it is all going to blow up and soon. When random people in town start remembering things that were suppose to stay hidden can only lead to one thing . The potions that Poppy has made for her shop. The one that she had just created and only brewed once. Now the hollow is at risk of being exposed and everyone is scared. Not only that but her romance with Andre is hitting its first snag . That will have to be put on hold while they try and figure out how to keep the people of Haven from freaking out and exposing them to the world . Will Poppy and the gang figure it out and keep the hollow safe or will they be exposed. 

  The gang is back and well funnier than ever. Poppy the poor woman is just sometimes not the luckiest person in the world . She is sweet and kind and couldn't hurt a flea unless one of her friends or family are under attack. She is finally finding love and acceptance and it is so sweet to see her in love. She is like most of us bumbling her way through love and life and really not knowing what is going on. Andre is the love in her life and he is charismatic and kind, he is a magician and has real magic flowing through him He seems to be the calming force in Poppy's life .  Wanda and the coven are back and well lets just say Wanda well she is her grumpy witch phase of life but secretly loves helping her best friend out. They all pull together to get the hollow back in order . These are such fun group of characters that you will fall in love with. 

  This maybe book 39 in the series with such great sub series branching out from the main series, its not getting stale or boring . Each story has characters that you want to get to know and be friends with and get more and more complex with each book. You should read the books in order if you want to read about Poppy and the gang check out poppy's books in the series . I suggest you just give in and read all of them cause man you will laugh so hard and fall in love with all the characters . They are pretty short fun reads that will be great for your winter reading list . Check them out.

ITS RELEASE DAY FOR IMMORTAL

   Good Monday morning my peeps. I hope you are all ok from the storms running around . Today is a great day for reading up here on the farm. I drear windy day, a good day for tea a cozy blanket and a brand new book . Today IMMORTAL  book 5 in the Blood Knight Chronicles by Linda Thomas - Sundstrom. 


                              BOOK BLURB 



 Was it Fate or Chance when Hanna Beaufort met Luke St. James in Dublin? The stories he told her about creatures intending to do her harm seems impossible… Until the stories prove to be true, and she finds danger at every turn.

Luke St. James, one of seven immortals designed to find and protect a holy Christian artifact, and named Blood Knights due to infusion of special blood, has already lived for centuries when he meets Hanna in the current year. Can he protect her from monsters that roam after dark, and make her believe in an unseen world, or will he fall for her and need help of his own?   

                       MY REVIEW 
       Luke St. James is an immortal, one of the seven that were made to guard the holy grail. He has lived centuries in solitude fighting the evil that wants the cup. Until the day he meets Hanna as she is walking home from work. He is keeping her safe from the evils that haunt the night and have marked her for some reason. There is more to Hanna and when she starts to dreaming of a place where Luke and the others have been. He knows that she is a key to something and he must help her figure out what the dreams mean and how they are connected good or bad. He needs to keep himself in check because it would be easy to fall for the woman in front of him and need help for himself. 
   Luke and Hanna what can we say about these two. Well Hanna she is sweet and honestly braver than she feels most of the time. She is more then meets the eye but is she good or evil.  Luke well he is brooding, sexy immortal who keeps the world safe from those that go bump in the night but there is a part of him that is yearning for a home and well actually a mate to share what he does with.  They both are strong characters with a sense of morality that keep them going to figure out what they are suppose to do.  We also get to meet the rest of the blood knights and their mates as the book goes on. 
   This is one of those books that once you start you can't stop until you are done. The characters are so well written and complex you can't help but cheer them on and fall for them. I love this story line so much it has vampires, angels , knights from the King Arthur era.  Which keep you flipping pages , there is also some romance and an epic fight scene towards the end of the book. I truly like this author's writing style and how she takes us on an epic roller coaster ride and honestly makes us think through out the book . So if you want a great series to read this fall check out the Blook Knight Chronicles. I promise you will fall for these immortals.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      ,

ITS TIME FOR SOME FALL READS

  Good morning my peeps. I know I have been away for awhile, life got busy on the farm with fall work. I will also admit I was in a bit of a book funk also but I am back with some new reads for your fall season. Today we are going to start with a brand new series by Hp Mallory. LITERARY  LUNACY  book 1 in the Bewitched books series 


                           BOOK BLURB



 Bewitched Books isn’t just any used bookstore—it’s one with a magical secret…

Starting over at forty-two was never part of my plan.
But after a painful divorce, I needed a fresh start.
So, here I am, returning to my hometown of Laurel Falls, TN, with my tail tucked firmly between my legs.
Luckily for me, I’ve got my best friend, Rox, with me and the two of us are determined to bring back to life the bookstore I revered as a child.
Little do I know, this bookstore isn’t just a haven for beloved stories—it also holds a magical secret.
Imagine my surprise when I discover that certain books in my possession have literally come to life—or at least, the characters have.
As if that isn’t enough to come to terms with, I soon find myself entangled with the most handsome man I’ve ever seen.
Heath Waise is tall, dark and brooding, but he’s also got a secret, and it’s a secret he’s keeping at all costs.
Not only that, but I’m pretty sure Heath wants something from me—I mean, what other reason would he have for his obvious interest and his determination to keep me close?
And that’s when the hauntings begin…
Soon I'm being targeted by a vengeful ghost, her intentions growing more menacing with each passing day.
So, are you up for a wild ride? Then join me as I navigate this supernatural adventure where classic literature, magic, love and mystery intertwine in ways I never thought possible...


                        MY REVIEW 
 What do you get when you cross a bookstore, a ghost , a newly divorced woman and her best friend oh and add in a hot brooding man. You get a great story about Eliot a 42 year old divorcee and her best friend heading back to her home town to reopen the bookstore El loved as a child. One day a handsome man walks into her life and things start to change sometimes not for the best. Hauntings , books coming alive in ways , a brooding handsome man hanging on to a secret.  What is a girl to do but hang on and jump in and try to figure out this supernatural adventure of magic, love and mysteries that all are entwined in the most unusual ways. 

  For a first book in a new series, this is a fun fast read. We get to meet some fun new characters that are of a certain age. An age of most of us readers . Eliot is 42 and starting over , she is trying to put her life back together after a bad break up . She is sweet but she does have a sadness in her that has her distrusting in herself . She seems like she is not doing anything right in her eyes. She is brought into a world of characters coming to life and a vengeful ghost . What is a girl to do but toughen up and put on her big girl panties and figure out what the heck is happening . Rox is her best friend and so much fun, she is a no nonsense woman who keeps El on the right side of crazy. Rox is the type of woman that will talk you into almost anything and make it like it was your decision. She is loud and boisterous to El's quiet shy style.  Heath is tall dark and oh so broody, he is one of those men who is the strong silent type but he is hiding a big secret. You will swoon when you meet him or you will want to smack him up side the head a few times. You will soon start to like him but with every morally grey characters you will love to hate him. 

 This is the first book in the series and it started out with a bang. The characters are so good and I can't wait to see where the author takes them in next book. The book has my favourite things a bookstore, ghosts and characters that make the story fun. This is one of those fast fun reads and once you start you can't stop. I can't wait to see what the author does with the characters and what shenanigans they get up to. So check out this fun new series from a fun paranormal author.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY

  Good morning my peeps today I hope you all had great weekend. I had storms all weekend so it was a good reading weekend . Today I have for you the last book in the Frozen Fate series . HEART OF FROST AND SCARS  by Pam Godwin. 


                             BOOK BLURB



 I’m the silent ache, the shadow that lingers, the present from your past, the knife in your heart.

In the chilling finale of the Frozen Fate trilogy, Frankie enters a world far deadlier than the one she escaped.

A sinister threat lurks in the shadows, hunting her with a dark obsession as her savage protectors battle the rules of society.
Thrust into the civilized world, they spiral into violence and refuse to conform, their wild natures threatening to tear apart their bond.
Amid these struggles, her seductive billionaire husband fights to reclaim her love.
Caught between possessive men, a deadly stalker, and a legacy of pain, she must decide her fate.
Choose wrongly, and she’ll lose everything to a monster with a heart of frost and scars.


                          MY REVIEW 
 Frankie and the guys have been saved from their icy tomb to be pushed into a totally different world. Trying to navigate this world of people and things and be civilized as they do. Also a jealous ex who is also family is not making things easier for the trio. Then add the fact that Frankie has a dangerous stalker threatening her trying to take away her independence.  What is a girl to do but fight for her life and the loves she has . If she chooses wrong she will loose everything.
  
   Frankie and the boys are back and battling demons of their own making . Frankie is having an identity crisis , she doesn't really know where her feeling lie . She loves Kodiak and Leo but the feeling she had for Monty are coming back and getting stronger with each day . She isn't the strong one through out the book , she is well at her wits end and is kind of pushing everyone away. She tries to be strong but fails miserably at it and comes off a little whiny. Kodiak well we just call him caveman and he is willing to fight anyone who even looks at Frankie the wrong way. He is the one that will do anything for his family but he also wants to spread his wings and get use to this new world he is in. When he is honed in he is deadly he will find you and when he does you will not survive, he is lethal. Leo is the sexy Viking who is learning about everything and he well is as sexy as sin actually all the men are both sexy and deadly at the same time . He is having a little bit more trouble trying to get use to this new world they are in. He is protective and deadly and loves to push the buttons of his brother,  Monty is well he is frustrated, broody and kind of stalker like in some ways . He fights and fights until her realizes that they are family and they as a family have to get it together and keep Frankie safe and realize that they all belong together. They have come along way and have become such beloved characters that have become more and more complex with each book. 

  In this last book of the series we really get to see how they actually function at becoming a family that will do anything to keep each other safe. The author takes us on one last roller coaster ride that is emotional. She honestly makes the real world a little bit more scarier then being in the tundra fighting for their lives . There are twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat and the twist at the end had me squealing for joy even though it was some of the darkest moments of the book.  I did feel at the beginning of the book it was just a little on the slow side and you kind of wanted to slap all of them and wake them up to what they were doing . Then it kicked into over drive and you were flying through the pages. This is one of those series where you start at book one and don't stop reading until you are done book three. A great series for those crisp fall weekends where you want to curl up with a good book . So check them out. I promise you will not be disappointed.

GOOD MORNING PEEPS

   Good morning my peeps , today is my last book in the reader roundup and I have for you book 2 in the Stevie Capot series COVETED BLOOD by Mina Skye. 


                         BOOK BLURB



 Despite Sebastian’s warnings against slipping on the stunning Sapphire ring, I disregarded his advice and defiantly slipped the ring onto my finger. Little did I know that this seemingly harmless action would kill me…the second time.

However, it was comparable to a Phoenix and gave me a third lease on life, though forever altering my existence.

This ring served as a portal into my past life as Princess Stephanie Corin of the Sapphire Raven Clan. Besides being royalty, I discovered that I was a unique combination of a dark fairy and incomparable crone, a revelation that left me stupefied.

Reestablishing the memories of my past life was a bit of the straightforward part. Trying to carry on my father’s legacy brought a whole new nightmare altogether - the adoration of four men, Sebastian and Gabriel Corbeau, Rowan Shaw and Jeremy Fyfe.

These four men wanted my hand, heart, body and maybe the title of King; I wasn’t too sure about that part.

Being a Queen over the Sapphire Raven kingdom would be a breeze, if I was able to do it on my own.

Love was confusing, choosing one was even more of a challenge. I’ve no interest in being tied down and ponder on how I can love them all without the strings attached.

Why can’t my life…err lives ever be easy?

                 MY REVIEW 







After Stevie does the one thing that Sebastian told her not to do , slamming the ring on her finger , she dies yet again and wakes up in a grave yard with wings and parts of her past coming back to her as the ring acts as a portal back to her past life as Princess Stephanie Corin and the fact that she is part fairy and part witch. Now she is trying to piece together what has happened and carry on her father's legacy well not going so well. There is also the four men in her life who want her heart and her hand , she isn't wanting to be tied down but she loves each man and wants to love each of the freely with out being tied down . Will her life get any easier. 







 Stevie is back and well badder than ever, she got her wings back and is starting to figure out what is going on with her past. Her sass is strong and she gives as good as she gets. But there are moments where you see her more vulnerable and unsure of herself. Doesn't help when she has four very different men vying for her hand . Gabriel and Sebastian who are shifters and very different Gabriel is a gentleman but don't make him angry Sebastian well he has a bit of a temper that needs to be tuned in. Rowan well we can't trust this man at all . I think his end game is becoming king and nothing more. The wild card is Jeremy who is a new man in her life but he plays everything close to the vest , is his feelings true or not.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     In the second book we get a lot more action and a lot more of the mystery of what happened to Stevie.  The twists and turns through out the book will have you on the edge of your seat and the tender times will have you smiling . Yes Stevie does get into it a lot in this book. She just can't help herself sometimes . This book does pick up right where book one left off so you will get right into the action right away. I am truly liking this author's writing yes there are multiple points of view but this time it flows easier and is not as choppy as it was in book one . So if you want a sassy fairy and the men in her life mixed with a mystery check it out .

GOOD DAY WE ARE ALMOST TO THE END OF READER ROUNDUP

   Good morning my peeps, I hope your Monday was good and your Tuesday is going great. Today I have you a new to me author Mina Skye and her first book in the Stevie Capote series HOOD OF SEDNA . 


                           BOOK BLURB



 In 1745, I awoke in the wilds of North Carolina, devoid of any possessions and my memories lost in the void. Stripped of my identity and left to fend for myself, I resorted to thievery to survive, carving out a notorious reputation as the cunning and elusive Stevie Capot.

A century later, destiny led me to Sedna, Washington, where tantalizing fragments of my forgotten past began to resurface, like shards of broken glass reflecting a life I had left behind. But my quest for truth was overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of the town's unyielding marshal and his relentless posse of lawmen. To my dismay, my already tumultuous existence was further complicated by the arrival of three mysterious strangers, each claiming to hold the key to unlocking the secrets sealed within my mind.

As I grappled with the enigma of my lost memories, I couldn't shake the feeling that Sedna held the answers, or perhaps the three enigmatic men who had emerged in sync with the resurgence of my past. Their arrival only served to heighten the relentless pricking of my skin, a constant reminder that I was on the precipice of decoding the secrets veiled in the fog of time. Amidst the chaos and danger that threatened to consume me, I was determined to unearth the truth, no matter the cost.

                       MY REVIEW 
 After waking up in 1745 Stevie doesn't know who she is or where she is . No memories of her past and how she got to where she is. Stevie has to resort to being a thief and finding others to help . She steals with a purpose to help out the people of Grunge Alley. After a century Stevie finds herself on the way Sedna with fragments of a past and trying to stay one step ahead of a marshall with ill intentions and three men that have clues to her past and what she is. As she is grappling with parts of her past, her life is turned to chaos and dangerous but she is determined to get to the truth of her past. 

There are a lot of characters in this book but the main character Stevie really stands out as she is doing whatever she can to figure out what happened to her . She is sometimes really rough around the edges and acts like a guy most of the time there is more to her than meets the eye. There are no soft spots to her she is all about staying safe and trying to figure out what happened . Gabriel and Sebastian are shifters who want Stevie back and will do anything to help her get back her memories. Rowan is well you can't trust him, he seems shifty and has an ulterior motives of winning Stevie back . These characters are well written and have a complexity to them. 

 This is one of the books that is a fantasy but also has a paranormal shine to it . We have dragons, fairies and shifters as main characters . There is mystery, intrigue and a little bit of romance through out this book . It really gives off a Robin Hood vibe with Stevie robbing the rich and helping out the poor. Over all I really enjoyed this book but there were times i felt with so many points of view it seemed choppy and chaotic.  This is an enjoyable book that will have your teens reading well into the night .  So add it to your reading list.

GOOD MORNING WELCOME TO MONDAY

   Good morning my peeps today I have for you a crime thriller, book seven in the Detective Cadillac Holland series . SHELL GAME by H Max Hiller. 


                          BOOK BLURB



 A change of venue from south of I-10 to Missouri has no effect on Detective 'Cadillac' Holland's ability to ruffle feathers, break rules, and bring a disturbing surfeit of firepower into play to right a wrong...several, in fact.

A phone call out of the blue from and old military school classmate - and a disconcerting visit from that classmate's sister - leads Detective Holland to inadvertently stumble upon yet another global antiquities theft. In his usual fashion, he manages to foist his unique approach upon every level of law enforcement from a small-town Missouri sheriff to the FBI and beyond, while skirting not only the law but the unexpected lurking danger of suffering the ultimate retribution from his Iraqi nemesis, the politically connected Habib family, while searching for an elusive shipping container of cultural artifacts stolen from the Iraqi National Museum.

Allies are hard to come by when no one is who - or where - they seem to be, and everyone is out for their personal gain at the detective's expense.

                     MY REVIEW 
  Detective Holland is back and well doing what he does best ruffling feathers and breaking rules . When artifacts go missing from the Iraqi National Museum detective Holland is thrown into the middle of mystery. Doing things his way he gets in the middle of the mystery. not knowing who he can trust and some people aren't who they say they are . Everyone is out for themselves and no one can be trusted . 
    Detective Cadillac is back and well he is busier than ever . He is still walking the fine line between keeping the rules and breaking them. He is such a likeable guy people just trust him and tell him almost anything which is good but also a curse when it comes to keeping secrets . We get to meet a lot of interesting characters in this book and honestly there are moments where you can't trust any of the characters . The author crafts such interesting complex characters that you will like and dislike at the same time. 
   This is a complex book that I read in a day. The author writes so many twists and turns through out this book that had me second guessing myself through out cause at one moment I thought I had it figured out but bang nope I was totally wrong. The author really likes to entwine the cities into his story lines. You can read this book as a stand alone because he has taken Holland out of New Orleans . So if you want a series that will make you think and solve a mystery this is the series for you add it to your fall reading list.

GOOD MORNING ALL

   Good Sunday morning peeps, its been a wild weekend here on the farm and we are coming to the end of our reader round up on the 16th of August. Today I have the second installment of the Madam President series  by Terri A Wilson .MADAM PRESIDENT AND HER DRAGON LOVER.


                              BOOK BLURB



  Angela Bishop is about to challenge the world.

She’s tired of taking crap from all the men in her life. It doesn’t matter that she’s the President of the United States. She knows what needs to be done and won’t let anyone stop her, including her dragon lover.

When shifters turn up dead in Arkansas, she needs to accomplish the one thing that may kill her career. But it might kill the dragon she loves if it doesn’t work out. She’ll be challenged in ways no previous president has and risk everything for him.

In the end, she will find out who truly supports her and who has been manipulating her for personal gain all along.


                    MY REVIEW 
 Angela and Blake are back and its about to hit the fan. Angela is tired of taking crap from all the men in her life. She is doing her best to keep the country on the right track and she knows what needs to be done and no one not even her dragon will stop her. When shifters are found dead in Arkansas she knows what she needs to do but it will kill her career if she does . But will she be able to pull it off and make the natural changes that need to be done to make it all work out. If it works out she will find out who has her back and who have been trying to manipulate her for their own gains . 
 Angela and Blake are back and its a month after the abduction of her son. She has gone into momma bear mode and nothing is going to stop her. She is pushing all the buttons to figure out what is really going on but there are moments where she almost comes off as really pushy and kind of a brat when she wants things done. Blake is well still sultry and is trying really hard to figure out what is going on with the woman he loves and what is going on with the shifters and the group hunting them. They are stronger and more complex in this book and we also get to meet more shifters that become part of the protective detail. Doyle is one who honestly brings a bit of levity to the book he is only out for himself and will do what he needs to do to keep everyone safe. 
 This is the second part of the book and there is so much more action and intrigue and it reads so much faster . The author takes us on an adventure ride through the ins and outs of politics and what will happen when you stand up for what you believe in . You really have to read book one before you dive into this book but you will get a clearer picture of what happened in this book if you read book one . I want to read more about the characters and see how and if things get better. Check it out

GOOD MORNING TO ANOTHER DAY OF READER ROUND UP

   Good morning my peeps , hope your week went well we made it to Friday. Today I have for you part one of MADAM PRESIDENT AND HER DRAGON BODYGUARD  by Terri A Wilson . 


                           BOOK BLURB 



 As the President of the United States, Angela Bishop protects every American. But who protects her?

Blake Sullivan is the youngest son of the oldest dragon clan in North America. He was his father's favorite until his mate's murder sent him into a tailspin that ended with him wandering the world. Alone. Which was just how he wanted it.

Angela Bishop never wanted to be in politics. After her husband died, she was approached with an offer she couldn't refuse. She never dreamed that offer would lead to the White House. Today, as the first female president, she brings a unique spin on world politics, but not everyone appreciates it.

Now, when a wizard sets his sights on world domination combining his magic with nanotechnology, Blake has to harness his anger and protect Angela, even though, she's the one person who could destroy all dragons.

                  MY REVIEW 
   Angela Bishop has the best and the worst job in America, she is the president and has the whole country to keep safe, she as the first woman president has so much pressure on her. When she needs protecting in walks Blake Sullivan, a dragon shifter from one of the oldest shifter clans in North America. Together they must figure out the threat to the shifters and figure who is trying take over the world and save the paranormal world also . Or will they be the ones to destroy each other. 
  Angela and Blake well they are one steamy couple . Angela is one tough woman who well is actually putting on a facade of being the President of the U.S , she really doesn't want to be there but is doing it to as a legacy to her late husband. She is tough but also has a sadness around her. Blake is well he is grumpy and kind of surly but he has had such a bad past. He lost his mate and his father banished him. So he has just been well himself . Until the day he gets an ultimatum by his brother and he finds his purpose. He is still surly but boy he is so sexy and protective you just want to melt. They are such a strong couple and really heat up the pages .
  This is the first part of a really hot book. The author takes us on a bumpy but encouraging ride to finding each other. The characters are well written and complex. The story line is one of adventure and intrigue. I truly enjoyed this book and can't wait to hit book two and see what happens to these two. I know their adventure is not over and I can't wait to see where the author takes them and I pray they get their happily ever after. So if you want a a sexy dragon shifter and his soon to be mate on your summer reading list this is the book for you . A great summer hammock read.

GOOD AFTERNOON PEEPS

  Good afternoon peeps, yes it is another day of reader round up and today I have for you book two in the Chances series TAKING CHANCES by Traci Wooden - Carlisle


                          BOOK BLURB



 Friendship always seemed like the safest bet, but the possibility of love may make theirs a chance worth taking.

Almost from birth, Andrew Wolfe knew the majority of his life would be spent healing people. It's a passion that he embraces with all of his being until a dark-haired, gray-eyed girl looks up from a pile of books between them and challenges the space in his heart for his first love.

Unsure if he can have Pietra along with the life he’s been destined, Andrew remains friends with Pietra for years without revealing his true feelings, but love won't be denied forever.

Those who’ve met Pietra Rivera think she’s a shy but kind and generous woman with intelligence to rival the best minds in medicine, and they would be right.

They also believe that the ideal man for her would be an equally nice guy, with like ambitions who would move mountains for her and again they would be correct. But is Andrew that man or is she headed for heartbreak?

Will either of them take the chance at more than friendship with the other or will lifelong expectations and obligations keep them in the friend zone?



                       MY REVIEW

 Pietra is working hard at the hospital and really has no time for dating. While her best friend Andrew has been working his whole life training on healing people from both traditionally and modern medicine . There is a girl that keeps popping into his mind that he cares for deeply and they are best friends . There are things that might be keeping them from becoming more than friends . There are secrets that might keep them apart. Hope that they can come together and realize that they belong together before they end up in the friend zone for ever. 


  Pietra we got to meet in book one she is Meagan's best friend and a pretty smart cookie. She is a hard worker who can laugh and have fun but she is also has a sadness around her . She loves to fix everything for everyone but herself. Her best friend Andrew is a neurosurgeon and also in line to be the medicine man for his tribe in New Mexico. He is a sweet, good looking guy who is torn between two worlds . He wants to help out the tribes but he also wants to keep his neurosurgeries . They are sweet as friends and so cute as a couple when they finally realize what is going on and they decide that they should take the chance . Meagan and Tony are back and we see them planning their wedding and helping Pietra and Andrew realize what is right under their noses . 


    This is another sweet romance but with a little bit more angst through out. The characters are well written and you really get to know them.  The author has a sweet way of bringing the characters together and watch them fall for each other. It is a fun sweet read that will have you reading until late. So this would be another good read for the beach or by the pool . Check it out.
