<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">MY THOUGHTS:</span></div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
When I first grabbed this short story, I thought it was going to be about a silly girl that had a complex about being fat. </div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
And then... the last line of the first chapter surprised me completely and made me think my first impression was wrong. </div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
Maybe my issue with this book was the fact I don't find strippers sexy at all!<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
Also another detail is that the story kept going from one topic to another in a random way. And of course... another tiny piece of information: my first instinct was right: the girl is absolutely traumatized and has a moon size complex with her body... pages and pages of self criticism. At the same time, and to make the story even more "interesting", she is unsufferable. </div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
Why?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
Well... if you are silly enough to get drunk and get married with a stripper you just met (no spoilers, this is revealed in the blurb), there is simply no need whatsoever to act as an innocent and naive person and attempt to cover yourself with the sheets in the morning... right? Not to mention that she "is aghast"...</div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
Anyway... if I'd got paid for everytime she complained about being fat or the fact that every guy used her only for one night stands (because nobody would dare to be seen with the chubby girl... *eye roll*) , I would be a millonaire.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What else? The day after, he wants to do something nice for her... and he decides that sending her clothes to the laundy is a great idea (yeah! because there is nothin</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">g sexier than a guy getting our laundy ready... and I'm not going to even comment about what I would do if someone I don't know goes through my stuff)</span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After that, there was some sort of approach between them that was very good, I liked it and there is a shower scene that honestly saved the book, but just when I was getting comfy with the book I read phrases like this one:</span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>"If I could have fucked his voice right there, I would have".</i></b></span></blockquote>

<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To sum up, this book had potential (a lot) but the main character was in serious need of a self help book and she kinda ruined it for me. </span></div>
<div style="color: #181818;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The writing style, although a little messy, was nice so I will give the author another chance. </span></div>

<span style="color: #181818;">Dog Mountain is just like any other small town — peaceful and uneventful. Well, that is if peaceful means wolves howling all night, and uneventful means it’s overrun by pesky werewolves, then yes, Dog Mountain is just your average small town.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
WOW!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
This isn't news: I absolutely love Ashley Stoyanoff's books and I venture to say that this one is my favorite so far. Almost unbelievable considering it's about werewolves but yes, I loved it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">I believe that Ashley's writing got even better. As I said, I loved her previous books but in this one the writing simply flows, I advanced in the book effortlessly because the pace is fast so you can't get bored. </span><span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">But at the same time there is a very good scene description, thorough.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">The take on werewolves is original, not only for werewolves being known and treated almost like royalty in Dog Mountain but also I enjoyed the dynamics of the pack. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">There is an intriguing plot behind it. I couldn't stop reading because I wanted to discover the truth behind that carefully crafted web of lies.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">Moreover, I felt that this time all the characters were well defined and there personalities, nicely built.</span></div>

Regarding our MC Jade... First of all, I found her name hard to pronounce lol. (maybe is my Argentinian tongue that get twisted but try to say Jade Shaw a few times in a row). Anyway... at first I thought she was awesome: strong, determined, self-confident and somewhat wild but as I kept turning the pages I realized s<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">he is plain annoying. She contradicts herself all the time, she is childish and I don't really get what's up with Dom. (yeah, yeah, there was an explanation but I feel like there is more to it)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">Dom is great. I wasn't expecting that 'bomb' after Aidan confronted him regarding Jade but that added more to his mystery. I believe he is faithful, a great friend (even after some mishaps) and I want to read more about him.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">Marcy is cheerful, energetic and she creates a bright side into a story that is to some extent dark. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">Aidan is a hottie, l</span><span style="color: #222222; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">ike every male character that Ashley creates. He is cryptic but I like it. I know there is a lot more to learn about him, specially about his past. He is the Colton Hayes kind of sexy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So long no see! I'm glad to be back after exams and a hectic semester. And I'm specially happy to introduce you to a nice new section of the blog:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A cat, a phrase, a comic and a reading spot. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This section is an idea I borrowed from Migue and Caro, awesome bloggers of <a href="http://la-abadia-literaria.blogspot.com.ar/" target="_blank">La abadía literaria</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So what it is about? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Simple... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A CAT:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is well known the bond that links cats with the world of books... if they are not sitting or sleeping over one of our books, they are just playing in front of our pages to get our attention. This section intends to be a small tribute to these little furry friends. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A PHRASE:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is such great power in words and some people are better with words than others, so I intend to share some of the phrases I like (famous or not) from authors, books, characters and more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I chose a quote from one of my favorite scientists ever:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">― </span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/9810.Albert_Einstein" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">Albert Einstein</a></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A COMIC:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because short comics can always make us smile... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Personally, I read anywhere: the bed, the sofa, the bank line, the airport, doctor's office... but who doesn't like to have a special reading spot?</span></div>

An international group of indie authors, inspired by the personal grief of one, decided to collaborate in the spring of 2015 in a project to create this multi-genre smorgasbord of original short stories, all with the same potent theme – relationship. Some are heartfelt, some funny, some poignant, and some are just a little bit scary – much like relationships themselves. All are by authors fired by the shared enthusiasm to give something back in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. 100% of the profit made on the purchase of this book, in any format, goes to the charity. Cancer touches us all. It has in some way affected those who have contributed their time and talent here. This is our way of showing that we care.</div>

Indie authors carry forward a revolutionary shift in publishing, which allows the author to be creative director in their own work. There are many exceptional, experienced and acclaimed writers who have decided to take this bold step in publishing. In producing this anthology we have also had the inestimable assistance on board of artists, graphic designers, and bloggers – all of whom have a place in our acknowledgments. You, the discerning reader, are the other vital part of this equation. By buying this book you are supporting the work of indie authors, as well as discovering their worth. You are also supporting the charity to which we have chosen to dedicate our work.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Colette had known all her life that she was half human and half werewolf. She had no expectations of a life filled with love and adventure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everything changed on her 21st birthday. A curse casted by witches centuries ago set things in motion, things she could have never imagined. A past that Colette has no clue about has come back to steal her away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When Hunter, her destined but very unexpected mate, arrives, she is at a complete loss. She must learn to forget an old love and how to make room for a new love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The curse is being recast and Colette must stop it in order to save the wolves, all the while finding who she really is.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="color: #222222; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">“That is what you are going to
wear?” I asked eyeing Griffin’s light blue t-shirt and dark washed jeans. He
looked down at himself then looked at me.</span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">“Why? What’s wrong with it?” he
asked.</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">I narrowed my eyes. I crossed my
arms and pressed my lips together. My nose scrunched a little. I looked down. I
thought I was the epitome of a stealth mission we were going on. There was a
lot of digging in my drawers and closet, but I finally found my black yoga
pants and long sleeve shirt. Sure, the shirt was just a pinch too small. It
rode up sometimes and the sleeves stopped just before my wrist. Unfortunately,
it also stretched over my chest snugly. I saw Griffin take a couple peeks. Sometimes
even he was a pig. I was seconds from slapping him. I grabbed the combat boots
that I had owned for years and slipped them on.</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">“You don’t understand covert
mission do you?” I muttered as I pulled on my last boot. I looked over at
Griffin and he held in his laughter.</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">“Ass.”</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">“I heard that.”</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">“You were meant to,” I said with a
smug smile.</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">Griffin clapped his hands together
and I looked over at him. He had a huge smile on his face, the smile I had seen
many times in our youth. I was glad for Griff, Liam and Nick. They knew how my
childhood wasn’t a happy one so they made sure our childhood was full of adventures.
Many of those adventures were not sanctioned by Keith, Isaac, or Rose. Most of
the time, they were our secret, though as I got older I began to doubt Isaac
hadn’t noticed our antics.</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">Griffin had the same look on his
face as he used to when we would sneak out as children. I held in my own laugh
now. It was nice to see the Griffin that I had grown up with, the one that kept
me sane for years.</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">“Alright sir, let’s do this.”</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">Most of the bedrooms were on the
second story of the house. Griffin could make the jump easily enough. I had
more strength than a human but I didn’t trust myself not to break or at the very
least strain something. I waited for him to go first and Griffin stood outside
my window.</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your
hair!” Griffin yell-whispered up to me. I rolled my eyes as I climbed out my
window. I was going backwards and I could feel his eyes on my backside. I
turned and stuck my tongue out at him.</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36pt;">“Why my prince I didn’t realize you
were such a gracious ass.”</span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-indent: 36pt;">“Well when I see one, I see one.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: left;"><em>There can only be one allegiance.<br />It’s her time to choose.</em><br /><br />Some humans can see the fae. McKenzie Lewis can track them, reading the shadows they leave behind. But some shadows lead to danger. Others lead to lies.<br /><br />A Houston college student trying to finish her degree, McKenzie has been working for the fae king for years, tracking vicious rebels who would claim the Realm. Her job isn’t her only secret. For just as long, she’s been in love with Kyol, the king’s sword-master—and relationships between humans and fae are forbidden.<br /><br />But any hope for a normal life is shattered when she’s captured by Aren, the fierce and uncompromising rebel leader. He teaches her the forbidden fae language and tells her dark truths about the Court, all to persuade her to turn against the king. Time is running out, and as the fight starts to claim human lives, McKenzie has no choice but to decide once and for all whom to trust and where she ultimately stands in the face of a cataclysmic civil war.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: left;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are books in which you have to work your way through and others that you get caught from page one. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is one of the latter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What do we find in 'The Shadow Reader'?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tons of action --->Checked</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Heart melting love story ---> Checked</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Awesome heroine ---> Checked</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The action starts in the first chapter and it's non stop. That being said, I read this in one sitting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The characters are lovable. McKenzie is funny, witty and extremely resourceful. Also I like the way she faces and fights her feelings. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She is brave but real. She gets tired, hurt and jealous. I totally like her. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What she lacks in ability she compensates with perseverance and courage.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the other hand, Aren is amazing, funny and intriguing... sexy is another word I would choose... although he is </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a permanent contradiction, I love his personality and the feelings he triggers in me but at the same I want to slap him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One thing I must admit is that at the scene at the wedding ... dancing... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">OH MY!</span> My heart melted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kelia and Naito are cool supporting characters as well. Their story was super cute.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>Plot and writing:</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The plot is interesting and the pace is fast. Such a great combo.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I enjoyed the writing very much</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's amazing how the author makes us feel what McKenzie is feeling, for example, the scene in Lyechaban. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I could totally feel her fear. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yes!!! I am definitely reading the second installment!</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human… until the cold makes him shift back again.</span></div>

What a good book! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: justify;">
I decided to read it because almost everyone in my GR friend's list has read it and loved it. So I said: 'Why not?' I wanted to know if it was thaaaaaat good...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The story line is compelling, simple but captivating. </span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The writing is awesome and smooth. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Typically, when everything is so simple it puts me off, but not here. Yes. I admit the beginning was slow and it took me longer than usual to get through it but at some point, I don't know exactly how or when, I was sucked in the story. </span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The whole book is good but the second half is outstanding.</span></div>
</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The characters are lovable and well developed. I felt this all the time and not only because the story is told from different perspectives. No. You can feel the connection between Grace and Sam. Even when Sam is a wolf.</span></div>

Honestly that may sound weird and it's a bit creepy if you think about it rationally but it works, and you do perceive what's growing inside them. And the truth is, that it is a beautiful and innocent feeling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Another thing I really liked is that the author achieved depth in every character and not only in the main ones: Grace, Sam, Olivia, Beck, Jack, Shelby and my personal favorite, Isabel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Also, a positive thing to highlight is that the plot is somehow different, the take on werewolves is unique. Who doesn't like a bit of originality?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I know this is one of my first werewolves books (I mean purely about werewolves) but I have to say that it changed my mind about them.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">It is by no means perfect but it is a very good book that made me want to continue the series. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When you can’t resist the one person who could destroy you…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sia O’Donnell can’t help but push the limits. She secretly attends every underground MMA fight featuring The Predator, the undisputed champion. When he stalks his prey in the ring, Sia is mesmerized. He is dominant and dangerous and every instinct tells her to run.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every beautiful thing Ray “The Predator” touches he knows he’ll eventually destroy. Soft, sweet and innocent, Sia is the light to Ray’s darkness-and completely irresistible. From the moment he lays eyes on her, he knows he’s going to have to put his dark past behind him to win her body and soul.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Excerpt:</span></div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-indent: 0cm;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I’m going to undress you. Don’t think about me. Don’t think about what
scares you. Think about that canvas and what you’re going to paint. Think about
the brush in your hand. The colors on your palate. Think about what inspires
you. Think of something you can’t do in ink. Then do it for me.”</span></i></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">As he talks, his hands glide over my rib cage, his calluses sending
sensual shivers across my skin. He presses his thumbs along either side of my
spine, rubbing deep concentric circles, easing my tension as his fingers stroke
the sides of my breasts. Such a feeling of warmth and contentment suffuses me
that I lean back against him, only to have him growl a warning in my ear.</i></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">“Paint.”
“Bossy.”
“I haven’t even started.”
My body tingles. “Is that a
promise?”
“You play nice, it could be a reward.” His subtle assurance warms me
to my toes. He may be a predator, but he has soft fur.
</i></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">With slow, gentle movements, he unzips my skirt and eases it down over
my hips. Cool air brushes over my heated skin, like the wind on my face when
I’m on his motorcycle. But even with that happy image in my head, a familiar
tension rolls through my body. My breaths come out in pants, and I tremble.
</i></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">“Use it,” Ray whispers. “Let it out. I’ve got you.”
</i></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">Heart pounding, muscles coiled tight, I grab my brush, dip into the oil,
and streak black across the middle of the canvas. The first stroke is always
almost orgasmic, the realization of a vision, desire exposed. But this time it
is my fear splashed across the canvas, a black streak marring the pristine
white surface, the memory of a night I have wished a thousand times had never
been. A sob rips from my throat and I drop my brush.</i></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">“Shhhh.” With a low growl, Ray runs his hands along my curves, and my
breathing hitches.</i></div>
</span><i><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US">Damn Luke. Damn that night</span><span lang="EN-US">. I’m going to
turn my fear into some- thing beautiful. Gritting my teeth, I lift my brush and
the black streak becomes a wheel, two, and then I join them with a band of red.</span></i></div>
<span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">“Fuck.” Ray pinches my nipples between his thumbs and forefingers, his
chest warm, hard against my back, his belt buckle a deliciously pleasant pain
on my skin.</i></div>
<o:p><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;"> “Watching you paint is fucking hot.”</i></div>
</o:p></span></i><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;"> </i></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">PTSD crisis averted, I manage a smile. “Might be your hands on my
breasts is what’s making you hot.”</i></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">He grinds his hips into my ass, his erection stiff between us. “Touching
you makes me hard. Watching you makes me hot.”</i></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">Gray for the chrome, more red for the fairing, abstract strokes but my
brain can’t fill in the detail with Ray’s fingers grazing the bare skin of my
abdomen.</i></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">“I can’t paint anymore.”</i></div>
</span><span lang="EN-US"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="text-indent: 0cm;">“You can.” He cups my sex from behind, spreading his fingers, easing my
legs apart. “You will.”</i></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you might have noticed, I haven't been around much lately. This is due to my life getting more stressful and busy by the minute. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On top of my hectic work schedule I start uni tomorrow (yes! again, now I'm aiming for an English/ Spanish translator degree) and honestly I don't want to let the blog fall into oblivion. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been reading less but still I have my reviews written in my "review notebook" waiting to be posted. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, since my life is like this...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">... <span style="font-size: large;">I'm looking for someone who wants to blog with me</span>. This way, the updates would be more often.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>The requirements are pretty simple</u>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- You have to love reading (duh!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Preferably, your taste in books should match mine (basically a lot of romance, a lot of paranormal and dystopia but every now and then mixing something different)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- And it would be awesome if you already knew how to use blogger (which is not that difficult lol).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So if you are interested, just fill this form and I will be choosing someone by March 10th.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tally Landon is just trying to survive the death of her twin sister, graduate from high school, and escape her tragic story by pursuing her ballet career in New York. She doesn’t count on Lincoln Presley, Stanford’s baseball wonder, to affect her at all. Adding him to a long list of one-night stands is the plan. Lying to him about her age and name is her standard method of operandi. She doesn’t count on being found out, on seeing him again, or falling in love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lincoln Presley’s life is all mapped out for him. There is only baseball. With Major League Baseball circling their favorite prospect with a lucrative offer, he cannot afford to mess up. And, he doesn’t; until he meets up with the girl he saved in that burning wreckage on the 101 on Valentine’s Day months before. By the time he learns her real name and of all the lies she’s told, he’s in far too deep to ever really let her go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fate has a different set of plans, but when fame and lies tear them apart, one truth remains.</span></div>

Some readers term her books emotional roller coasters. With her writing, Owen admits she has a fondness for angst, likes to play with a little drama, and essentially toys around with the unintentional complications of love. She contends this began early on when she won a poetry contest at the age of fourteen and appears to be without end. Owen has an avid love of coffee, books, and writing, but not necessarily in that order. She writes both Contemporary Romance and New Adult fiction which includes her bestselling TRUTH IN LIES Series (a series despite despising 'series') beginning with This Much Is True and her latest release, The Truth About Air & Water. The TRUTH IN LIES series is fan-driven. So. There will be a third book about Linc and Tally released in 2015 titled Tell Me Something True. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">About Owen's fiction...This is NOT the light trope stuff. She travels a unique, writerly path and enjoys writing dark and angsty (a "non-word" she is fond of) emotional love stories. She often warns readers to be prepared with: time, tissues, wine, Advil or your drug of choice. And, as her most favored character, Lincoln Presley, would say, "do what you must, Princess."</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">MY THOUGHTS:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>3 stars</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">What to say about this? Everybody read it. Most people loved it, some people hated it. For me, the first 75% was super boring. The last quarter was good, hence the 3 stars. (if it wasn't for that last 25%, I would have given it 2 stars)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I think it has potential to get better and since it's the first book in the series, I'm willing to give it a chance (that and the fact that I have the box set...)</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Anyway, the writing was good and easy to read. The plot was interesting and it had lots of action. Also there was a scene at a motel that I liked very much.</span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> </span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">My main problem was with the characters. I couldn't connect with any of them.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Vee, the best friend was an idiot, not a very good friend at all, on the contrary, she was so hormone-driven that she didn't pay attention to her friend whatsoever. Also, I think the author tried to make her appear funny and failed miserably.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Nora... well, what can I say about Nora? She is utterly annoying, infuriating. She makes Bella Swan look like Einstein, always making the worst decisions and being so so so so immature and lacking common sense.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">And Patch...to be honest, I didn't fall for him. He was mysterious? yes. He had great abs? yes. But sexy? Mmm... nope. At least, not yet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>*This will be a STANDALONE CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE.*</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aimee’s wedding is supposed to turn out perfect. Her dress, her fiancé and the location—the idyllic holiday ranch in Brazil—are perfect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But all Aimee’s plans come crashing down when the private jet that’s taking her from the U.S. to the ranch—where her fiancé awaits her—defects mid-flight and the pilot is forced to perform an emergency landing in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With no way to reach civilisation, being rescued is Aimee and Tristan’s—the pilot—only hope. A slim one that slowly withers away, desperation taking its place. Because death wanders in the jungle under many forms: starvation, diseases. Beasts.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
As Aimee and Tristan fight to find ways to survive, they grow closer. Together they discover that facing old, inner agonies carved by painful pasts takes just as much courage, if not even more, than facing the rainforest.</div>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Despite her devotion to her fiancé, Aimee can’t hide her feelings for Tristan—the man for whom she’s slowly becoming everything. You can hide many things in the rainforest. But not lies. Or love.</span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Withering Hope is the story of a man who desperately needs forgiveness and the woman who brings him hope. It is a story in which hope births wings and blooms into a love that is as beautiful and intense as it is forbidden.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The beginning is strong, with a raping scene in one of the first chapters. I didn't particularly enjoy that. I don't think it added anything to the story and honestly, I never like those kind of scenes. This is the only reason why I didn't give it 4 stars.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I liked Miranda's "power". It sounds pretty cool to me, though I could relate to her and the way she felt about it. It may be a little overwhelming to know and feel, what everyone is feeling, ALL THE TIME. That's why she gets away of people, even her best friend.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Dirtwater's straight-talking Deputy Sheriff Rania Aqualina has a lot on her plate: a nicotine addiction that's a serious liability for a mermaid, a soldier-of-fortune ex who's hooked on her Mum's brownies, a gorgeous, naked stranger in her shower, and a mysterious dead blonde with a fish tattoo on Main Street.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Heading home to Aegira for a family wedding, Rania has a sinking feeling that's got nothing to do with hydroporting seven miles under the sea and everything to do with the crazy situation. Now, if she can just steal a corpse, get a crazy Aegiran priest off her case, work out who the hell's trying to kill her, and stop sleeping with the fishes, she might be able to unravel the mysteries. And maybe even save her own ass while she's at it.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Kate has no time for meaningless romantic charades, and definitely no time for hot college professors who are full of themselves and smitten with her. Constantly battling eviction notices, tuition she can’t afford, and a sick, dependent mother, the last thing she needs is to be distracted with someone else’s complicated baggage. </span></div>

His cocky know-it-all syndrome is enough to send her running in the other direction, and his posse of female admirers and playboy reputation are enough to squander any odds in her favor. </span></div>

Ryan and Kate must decide who they’re willing to become and fight against their former selves if they want to make things work. That’s if academia, vicious vixens, old skeletons, and their own mastery at self-destruction don’t pummel their efforts first.</span></span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> </span></div>

How many times do we say: <em>“I don’t want to be in a relationship” or “I don’t have time to get involved with anyone right now” </em>? but those statements die in our mouth because when the person is right, we suddenly want to be in a relationship and we suddenly think we have time for it (even if actually we don’t have time at all)</div>

Well, for these two, that is what happens. He is a player, he has his reasons, yes, but he still is and she is so self-absorbed with her mom’s sickness, work and studies that she is not planning on falling for anyone.

I loved the cover of this book and that was what at first piqued my interest. But for some reason, I was drawn to this story from page one. I like the writing, the short chapters and the characters. Well Kate lost judgment somewhere after 50% of the book but besides that, I liked her. </div>

If anything, Carter is a bit possessive at the beginning but then he grows to be one of my favorite characters with the amazing advices that are always perfect and in sync with Kate’s needs. </div>

(I believe a long time ago I mentioned that every sexy guy on earth in mind looks like Ryan Guzman or Channing Tatum but this Ryan feels like Ryan Guzman :D) Honestly though, he had a few possessive/crazy attitudes that bothered me but I can live with that. </div>

Regarding Ryan and Kate’s relationship, I understood their attraction, damn even I was attracted to him after a few pages but I didn’t get the <em>“you are too good for me” </em>thing after seeing each other a few times and spending a few minutes together in total… </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<u style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Now let’s move to the second half:</u></div>
</u><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
- Here it seemed like the author just decided to throw events randomly. I won’t spoil anything. </div>
</span><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
- Also… There was a plot hole? I mean, how did Ryan and Carter got a hold of Kate when the gala event took place. I mean, yes, they knew she was at the hotel but how did they figured out exactly where she was and that she was in danger for that matter? As I said, I don’t want to make a spoiler so I’m not getting into details regarding that. </div>
</span><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
- St Lucia is a magical place, even though not necessary for the plot. IMHO.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<u style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>About the end and epilogue:</u></div>
</u><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
- Then end is adequate, nonetheless predictable. </div>
</span><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
- The epilogue is cute and it’s a ‘happily ever after’. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<strong style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Overall a good and entertaining read but I would have liked the second part to be a bit different</strong></div>

<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everything
happened too fast, but probably because the book is short. On the bright side,
that makes it super easy to read. I read it in just one afternoon.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted
more cruise story. Most of the story develops on land. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There were
a few editing errors but they don’t divert the reader from the story at all. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cass. I didn't like her much. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;">For example: when she first got on the cruise, s</span><span style="text-align: justify;">he said she wasn’t there
to pick up a </span><span style="text-align: justify;">man but she stared at two guys in 2 minutes with a lusty attitude. </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;">And definitely, it’s
different to be laid back, confident and not wanting commitment than being
slutty. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;">As the story continued, she changed but at first she was: "looking for her skimpiest bikini", making comments such as “men
always notice my different eyes in the morning when I’m naked in their bed” in the
first 5 minutes of a talk with a guy <b>O.o</b> . Sorry, but I couldn't relate to her. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though After one unworthy accusation towards Cass, Bryce gets closer to her to help and they start connecting a bit more and she opens her heart. That part I enjoyed more because it felt more real. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Bryce ran the back of one hand down her bare arm as he leaned over to flag the bartender. Electricity shot all the way up to Cass's shoulder, and something deliciously warm and familiar tingled between her legs. She brushed his shoulder as she reached for her drink, telegraphing a message that registered in the light of his eyes.</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>He took a long swallow of his beer, then rested one elbow on the bar and turned toward her. Two inches, maybe one, separated them. She could smell him. If she leaned forward, she could probably taste him. And damn, but that mouth looked like it would know what to do on a woman’s body.</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>“That pick-up line, by the way?” she said. “The good-luck charm? Weak.”</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>He clutched his chest as if she’d shot him. “Was it that bad?” The corner of his mouth quirked up. “I thought it had flair.” He touched the neck of his beer bottle to her glass. “Women like flair.”</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Cass crossed one leg over the other and let her dress ride up. “Flair is over-rated.” She ran her fingers through her hair, loose and falling past her shoulders. “It takes more than that to win a girl over.” A nice ass will do, though, she thought. Good smile and wit helped too, and so far Bryce was three for three, though she wouldn’t tell him that.</i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>“Decided to take the free cruise?”</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>“I did.”</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>“How’s your friend Louise?”</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>“She’s fine. Spends a lot of time with Toby, but I’m guessing you already know that.” She sipped her martini. “What about your buddy? The one from the bachelor party? He get married yet?”</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>“Yep. Valentine’s Day.” He cocked his head when she didn’t answer. “I take it you're not a fan?”</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>“Of marriage? Or Valentine’s Day?” Not either one, she wanted to say. She set her glass down after another sip. “Thanks for the drink. But I think I’ll be going.” First conversations never needed to last longer than a few minutes. She’d leave him wanting more. </i></span></blockquote>

Nellie Wallace is a young widow with two children. In post civil-war New York, the men are scarce and none want the burden of a wife with children. Her dead husband's family is wealthy, and cruel. Desperate to escape their influence, and eager for a home, a husband, and a stable life for her children, Nellie decides to make a new life in San Francisco as a mail order bride.</div>

Saloon owner Blake Malone is a bachelor and likes it that way. He worked hard for everything he has, but the San Francisco City Council won’t approve his plans to build a family emporium unless he is a family man himself. The solution? A mail order bride from New York who will bring him a ready-made family, stability, and the council's approval.</div>

Blake expects his future wife to care for his home and, other than helping him impress the city council, to stay out of his business. He expects life as usual. What he gets is an unexpected desire to win Nellie's heart, a dangerous threat to his new bride, and a rich benefactor determined to steal his new family out from under him. Blake believed his battle for success a hard one. But he will discover that the battle to win Nellie's heart and keep his family safe is going to take everything he's got.</div>

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">April 28, 1865</span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><i><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">RAP! RAP! RAP!</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">If only she could fix her problems with a needle and thread she’d be set. Nellie looked up from the socks she was darning toward the knocking on the front door.</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">Who could that be? She set aside the socks, straightened her dress, checked her reflection in the mirror on the wall in the hall, patted her blond hair back into place and then answered the door.</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">“Mrs. Robert Wallace?” asked the soldier in dress uniform who stood at attention on her front porch.</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">Oh, God. No. Please. No. “Yes,” she said, trying to keep the tremor from her voice. “I…I’m Mrs. Wallace.”</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">The young soldier handed her an envelope. “I regret to have to inform you that Lieutenant Robert Wallace was killed at the Battle of Appomattox on April 8, 1865. I’m sorry for your loss, Mrs. Wallace.”</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">Nellie didn’t know what to say over the lump in her throat. She always knew this could happen—from the first moment Robert joined, to his last farewell eight months before Violet was born.</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">“I, uh, thank you, Officer…”</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">“Black, ma’am. Sergeant Black.”</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">“Thank you for letting me know, Sergeant.” Her grip tightened on the door knob. “I…I have to sit down now.”</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">“Of course, ma’am. Do you need help?”</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">Nellie shook her head. “No. Thank you. I’ll be alright.”</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">The man saluted her, turned and walked down the sidewalk to the waiting carriage.</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">How many of these calls did he have to make today? Was I the only one? I doubt it. Not in a city the size of New York.</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">She closed the door and leaned against the wall next to it, her legs no longer able to support her, she slid to the floor. Tears left salty trails on her face, but for the life of her she couldn’t remember crying. Screaming, cursing God, yes, but crying, no. Even though our marriage wasn’t what I’d dreamed it could have been when I was a child, I shall miss him. He had his good side, he was funny and could make her laugh. He was gentle every where except…no I will not think about that now. I endured and have two beautiful children.</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">How am I to tell Henry his father is dead? Violet was just a baby and didn’t know her daddy but Henry… Her son missed his father something fierce. Robert had doted on Henry. They spent so much time together that Henry cried for days when his father left the last time. And now I have to tell him his father is never coming home. How do I do that?</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">She wiped her cheeks with the backs of her hands, took the hanky from her apron pocket and blew her nose. No need to put it off. The task would be difficult enough, without waiting and making it harder. Perhaps she and Henry could grieve together. In any case, she needed to be strong for her son and daughter. She was all they had now.</span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;">Taking a deep breath, she mounted the stairs to the play room and her children.</span></i></blockquote>

<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">REVIEW:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">5 super stars</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The first book I've read from Cynthia Woolf was "Fiery Bride", also about a mail order bride. After that, I read 3 more, also historical, which I enjoyed greatly but to be honest, I believe </span><span style="font-size: small;">mail order brides is what this author does best. I simply loved this book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">One thing you need to know before jumping into one of Cynthia's books is that they share something in common: they are simple (forget those hard to understand plots) and also they are sexy but nonetheless classy. We have some hot scenes but nothing too graphic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">In this book we meet Nellie a sad widow that needs to go on with her life because she is tired of enduring her awful in-laws for the sake of her children. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">On the other hand, we meet Mr Blake Malone: sexy, galant and mysterious. Also with no wish to fall in love. Ow! and he owns a saloon...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">They meet due to an arrangenment that is extremely clear. He will provide the money, she will provide the family he needs in order to fulfill a business deal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">None of them is expecting to feel so attracted to each other.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I loved the way Blake was able to reach Nellie's heart and go past her fears. She unravels when they are together and to see how the love grows is mesmerizing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">We also have some other interesting characters, such as Maddie (crazy as a cow but I loved every time she showed up because she spiced up the story) and little Violet (so sweet).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The plot, as I said, is simple but entertaining and the book just flows. I kept turning the pages and read it all in a few hours.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The writing was nice and yes, I will totally recommend it.</span><br />

Cynthia Woolf is the award winning and best-selling author of ten
historical western romance books, one short story, and one novella in the
anthology Lost in a Kiss, with more books on the way. She was born in Denver,
Colorado and raised in the mountains west of Golden. She spent her early years
running wild around the mountain side with her friends.</div>

<span style="text-indent: 21.6pt;">Their closest neighbor was one quarter of a mile away, so her little brother
was her playmate and her best friend. That fierce friendship lasted until his
death in 2006.</span></div>

<span style="text-indent: 21.6pt;">Cynthia was and is an avid reader. Her mother was a librarian and brought new
books home each week. This is where young Cynthia first got the storytelling
bug. She wrote her first story at the age of ten. A romance about a little boy
she liked at the time.</span></div>

<span style="text-indent: 21.6pt;">Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A
Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia’s
father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place
in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a
cowboy not a bounty hunter and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now)
not the ranch owner.</span></div>

Nellie Wallace is a young widow with two children. In post civil-war New York, the men are scarce and none want the burden of a wife with children. Her dead husband's family is wealthy, and cruel. Desperate to escape their influence, and eager for a home, a husband, and a stable life for her children, Nellie decides to make a new life in San Francisco as a mail order bride.</div>

Saloon owner Blake Malone is a bachelor and likes it that way. He worked hard for everything he has, but the San Francisco City Council won’t approve his plans to build a family emporium unless he is a family man himself. The solution? A mail order bride from New York who will bring him a ready-made family, stability, and the council's approval.</div>

Blake expects his future wife to care for his home and, other than helping him impress the city council, to stay out of his business. He expects life as usual. What he gets is an unexpected desire to win Nellie's heart, a dangerous threat to his new bride, and a rich benefactor determined to steal his new family out from under him. Blake believed his battle for success a hard one. But he will discover that the battle to win Nellie's heart and keep his family safe is going to take everything he's got.</div>

<i>RAP! RAP! RAP!<br />If only she could fix her problems with a needle and thread she’d be set. Nellie looked up from the socks she was darning toward the knocking on the front door.<br />Who could that be? She set aside the socks, straightened her dress, checked her reflection in the mirror on the wall in the hall, patted her blond hair back into place and then answered the door.<br />“Mrs. Robert Wallace?” asked the soldier in dress uniform who stood at attention on her front porch.<br />Oh, God. No. Please. No. “Yes,” she said, trying to keep the tremor from her voice. “I…I’m Mrs. Wallace.”<br />The young soldier handed her an envelope. “I regret to have to inform you that Lieutenant Robert Wallace was killed at the Battle of Appomattox on April 8, 1865. I’m sorry for your loss, Mrs. Wallace.”<br />Nellie didn’t know what to say over the lump in her throat. She always knew this could happen—from the first moment Robert joined, to his last farewell eight months before Violet was born.<br />“I, uh, thank you, Officer…”<br />“Black, ma’am. Sergeant Black.”<br />“Thank you for letting me know, Sergeant.” Her grip tightened on the door knob. “I…I have to sit down now.”<br />“Of course, ma’am. Do you need help?”<br />Nellie shook her head. “No. Thank you. I’ll be alright.”<br />The man saluted her, turned and walked down the sidewalk to the waiting carriage.<br />How many of these calls did he have to make today? Was I the only one? I doubt it. Not in a city the size of New York.<br />She closed the door and leaned against the wall next to it, her legs no longer able to support her, she slid to the floor. Tears left salty trails on her face, but for the life of her she couldn’t remember crying. Screaming, cursing God, yes, but crying, no. Even though our marriage wasn’t what I’d dreamed it could have been when I was a child, I shall miss him. He had his good side, he was funny and could make her laugh. He was gentle every where except…no I will not think about that now. I endured and have two beautiful children.<br />How am I to tell Henry his father is dead? Violet was just a baby and didn’t know her daddy but Henry… Her son missed his father something fierce. Robert had doted on Henry. They spent so much time together that Henry cried for days when his father left the last time. And now I have to tell him his father is never coming home. How do I do that?<br />She wiped her cheeks with the backs of her hands, took the hanky from her apron pocket and blew her nose. No need to put it off. The task would be difficult enough, without waiting and making it harder. Perhaps she and Henry could grieve together. In any case, she needed to be strong for her son and daughter. She was all they had now.<br />Taking a deep breath, she mounted the stairs to the play room and her children.</i></blockquote>

<span style="font-size: small;">Cynthia Woolf is the award winning and best-selling author of ten
historical western romance books, one short story, and one novella in the
anthology Lost in a Kiss, with more books on the way. She was born in Denver,
Colorado and raised in the mountains west of Golden. She spent her early years
running wild around the mountain side with her friends.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; text-indent: 21.6pt;">Their closest neighbor was one quarter of a mile away, so her little brother
was her playmate and her best friend. That fierce friendship lasted until his
death in 2006.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; text-indent: 21.6pt;">Cynthia was and is an avid reader. Her mother was a librarian and brought new
books home each week. This is where young Cynthia first got the storytelling
bug. She wrote her first story at the age of ten. A romance about a little boy
she liked at the time.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; text-indent: 21.6pt;">Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A
Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia’s
father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place
in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a
cowboy not a bounty hunter and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now)
not the ranch owner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Medical research scientist Elena Arcos has always lived her life under the radar. When she is shot in a convenience store robbery, Elena finds herself rocketed into supernatural insanity courtesy of a sexy immortal law enforcer. He’s convinced she’s some kind of freaky half-vampire thing and that her deceased dad was the real deal: a blood sucking monster. Yeah, right.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nikolai Itzov never anticipated battling the urge to kiss the offspring of his father’s murderer. As a Slayer, an elite law enforcer descended from Azrael himself, his orders from the Underveil General are clear: Kill her or die.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nikolai and Elena find themselves in a life and death battle to stop a plot designed to lift the Underveil and enslave humans. With her analytical mind and his centuries of training, they might be able to foil the plot with their lives and maybe their hearts intact. But in order to succeed, he must help her become the very thing he hates the most: an Undead.</span></div>

Thursday, June 28, 1877<br />
<br />
Zach reined to a stop in front of the Deadwood mercantile. He was looking forward to seeing Lily, but more importantly, Lily had a spare room and he needed someplace to live. Hopefully, she’d be willing to rent to him.<br />
He probably should get a bath and a shave before he talked to her, but he was just too dog-tired. Over the past three weeks, he’d chased Jordan to Cheyenne and then southwest toward Denver. Always behind him perhaps only minutes, but still behind. Only getting close enough once in Cheyenne, to have seen him. Jordan could have killed him then, but Zach had seen him at the last moment and avoided most of the intended damage. The knife only cut him from below his eye to his mouth. It could have slashed his throat. Bleeding like a stuck pig afterwards, Zach had to find a doctor and get stitched up. By then, he’d lost Jordan and didn’t find him again until just outside Deadwood. Jordan was returning to Zach’s home. Returning to the scene of his crime, when he stabbed Ellie, returning to finish what he’d started but Zach would not allow him to hurt his family.<br />
The problem was finding him in the throng of people that now occupied Deadwood. Thousands of people had come and more were on their way. Looking for the same kind of riches that he and his brothers had been lucky enough to find. They’d struck the mother lode with the gold claim that Lily Sutter had sold them.<br />
He should go next door and get cleaned up, especially if he hoped to have any chance of convincing Lily about the room. She wouldn’t want a boarder who was as dirty as he was. He would ask her for meals, too. He needed them and sharing a meal, spending time together at her table, would be a good chance to get to know more about her and Gemma. The little girl needed a father but until the threat that Jordan presented was eliminated, until Jordan was eliminated, he couldn’t think about that. Couldn’t think about a family of his own.<br />
They’d been in Deadwood for ten months, nearly a year before he left to go after Jordan and he’d been trying to court Lily all that time to no avail. She was having none of it. In all his thirty-eight years, he’d never been turned down by a woman. But she said he was a Yankee and too handsome for his own good and wouldn’t have more than a passing friendship with him.<br />
Well, he wasn’t too handsome now, not with the scar on his face from Jordan’s knife. Red and angry, the wound still had the stitches. He needed to see Doc Cochran to get them out, today if possible, after he’d bathed. Then he could get a shave afterward and there wouldn’t be any stitches left for the razor to catch on.<br />
He dismounted and tied the horse’s reins to the hitching rail then noticed a new bathhouse next door to Lily’s store. The sign said ‘Bath, shave and haircut’ five dollars. He went in there first. The old man, Richardson, was there working.<br />
“Good day, Richardson. I’d like a bath now and a shave later.”<br />
“You can do the bath but you have to pay Miss Lily,” he said, the few strands of long gray hair combed over the bald patch on top, though not covering it very well. “And then bring the token back here. She’s the one who does the shaves and haircuts since Sam left. You have to come back later for that, after she closes the store.”<br />
“Alright, let’s just do the bath. Good and hot. I’ll go get the token. I haven’t had a good bath in weeks and am looking forward to this.”<br />
Zach walked next door to the mercantile. The bell sounded as he entered. The one customer in the store took one look at Zach, and left hurriedly, keeping her face turned and her hand over her mouth as she passed.<br />
“Be right with ya’ll,” said Lily.<br />
He walked up to the counter. “No hurry,” said Zach, his voice still gravelly from lack of use.<br />
Lily’s head snapped up and she stared. “Zach. Is that you?”<br />
“In the flesh.”<br />
She came around the counter. “You’re injured.” Reaching up toward the jagged cut on his face, she pressed her lips together, a gentleness crossed her features before she rallied and the starch came back. “You’re a mess. Where have you been? Why didn’t you say goodbye?”</blockquote>

She was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in the mountains west of Golden. She spent her early years running wild around the mountain side with her friends.Their closest neighbor was one quarter of a mile away, so her little brother was her playmate and her best friend. That fierce friendship lasted until his death in 2006.</div>

Cynthia was and is an avid reader. Her mother was a librarian and brought new books home each week. This is where young Cynthia first got the storytelling bug. She wrote her first story at the age of ten. A romance about a little boy she liked at the time.</div>

Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia’s father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a cowboy not a bounty hunter and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now) not the ranch owner. Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and the great friends she's made at CRW for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.</div>
