Of River and Raynn - The Catalyst by Rebecca Ethington

Absolutely Amazing! I have been following the live journals on http://riverandraynn.com/ and just reading the entries has kept me so intrigued at what's going to happen next. Are they going to find each other when they are already so close? 

Well, reading the story that follows, WOW! It definitely through me for a loop. Each chapter I began I learned something else about the over all story that just kept me reading to find out what was going to happen next. This is one of those books that you really have a hard time putting down even though we must at times. I loved it the whole way through and highly recommend it to others however I would suggest checking out the website first because there is so much on the site in the journals that will just keep you captivated and really help you understand the story to come.

Without giving the any of the story away I did want to mention that the way in which River and Raynn first come into contact with each other is not what you expect. There is a twist to the story that's not even really begun to be hinted at on the journals that might just surprise you. I really think anyone who loves to read will very much enjoy this book just as I have. It is an amazing piece of work by this author. You will not be disappointed.

Isaac's Decision by Ruth Ann Nordin

Isaac's Decision was a beautiful story that gives the point of view of a child growing into an adult and the decision they must make. As children we often tend to follow what our parents tell us for the most part but there comes a time when we find something that calls to us even more so to the point that we find ourselves standing up against our parents decision to make our own and be the adult that we are becoming. In this story you get to witness two young adults making their decisions only their decision also involves so many past experiences between their parents that have left their families not talking to one another. Isaac or one has been forbidden to talk to Emily because of something her father has done that she has no knowledge of and Emily doesn't understand it. But Emily goes out of her way to capture Isaac's attention the way she once had it. Through this story we learn another way in which the past of others may affect our lives and how we must choose to make our own decisions in regards to this. It also goes further to show us just how much people can change over time with the right events occurring just as the individuals in this story have done. But even with change it's hard to believe and can often still haunt people sometimes but all in the end can be forgiven. 

I truly loved this book and would most definitely recommend this book and the rest of the series to anyone who loves to read. Ruth is a wonderful Author and I look forward to reading many more of her works.

Hi Redeeming Bride by Ruth Ann Nordin

Another great work by Ruth. This story is a beautiful story that portrays what it's like to have lived a life most find questionable and wrong and then turned around and began to live a straight life. The way people look at your is hard to change when you've had such a past. In this book not only do you get a look at what it's like to be that person but what it's like to finally meet someone who will finally see you for who you are regardless of how you were thrown together and with that, even when you feel things have taken a turn for the worst and you're losing all, you will be surprised by the change in the people you knew who have talked to badly of you and now realize just how pure you've become. I have to say, I had faith in the end that things would turn out for the best but it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat trying to finish and find out for sure. Highly recommend this entire series.

Falling Stars Book 4 of Star Series by Jettie Woodruff

Book 4 of the Star Series - Falling Stars:

Great book and amazing conclusion to the series. I must say that the title had me thinking totally differently about how the story was going to go however I supposed that depends upon how you look at it. But I love the story all the same. I was pleasantly surprised and loved the ending. Here's my take on it.

Hailey has finally realized she has a drinking problem and decides to do something with it. With the help of Dexter she has decided to take that step. And keep in mind, Dexter and Hailey weren't exactly friends originally because of what he did to her but now they've developed some type of relationship. The real question though is will Hailey accept the help and do what needs to be done? And what about Chris. Where does he play into all of this? Will Hailey continue her relationship or will she finally really let him go? 

All of the events that occur up to whether or not Hailey decides to handle her drinking problem or not does not prepare you for what happens next and I must say I was not at all expecting it. 

It's a beautiful love story that's more real than your usual love stories. There are real life type events and occurrences in this book and I love it. It makes it that much easier for someone to relate if they have been through something similar. It was definitely one of the best stories I've read in a while. Loved it. 

This book is only recommended for mature audiences due to sexual content along with drug and alcohol use.

Stardust: Book 3 of Star Series by Jettie Woodruff

Book 3 of the Star Series - Stardust:

Hailey Arlington has just started her doing her own thing working towards her future thanks to an amazing offer to broaden her future in acting. Hailey goes from just acting on stage for her dad Hayden to acting in a movie. But Hailey is not prepared for what happens throughout this journey. And her means of coping tends to be the same as her Grandpa. What will happen to Hailey Arlington on this journey and what does that mean for her future?

Thus far, I've loved every book of this series however I still like to think this was my favorite. While I don't entirely agree with Hailey and the way things seem to be going with her, I think she as a strong bond with Chris though she can't be with him. Will her future include him? I'm hoping to find out in the next book but I loved this one.

Recommended for mature audiences who don't mind the sexual portions or the use of drugs and alcohol.

Co-Star Book 2 of Star Series by Jettie Woodruff

Book 2 of the Star Series - Co-Star:

Meet Addison and Hayden along with their children Hannah and Hailey. The perfect family if you ask me only at first they didn't know about each other. 

Imagine yourself meeting the one who would always hold the key to your heart only to know nothing about them and never see them again. The possibilities of things that could occur from this one single event. What would you do in this situation if you found out you were pregnant after? What do you think Addison did? And would anything prepare her for the future ahead of her?

I absolutely loved this book however I enjoyed it so much I struggle to write this without giving away the story. In this book you have true love that doesn't change or disappear over time no matter what the circumstances. After reading this I'd have to say "everything happens for a reason" really does fit with the story. You would think Addison s discovery was a disaster however it turns out to be a blessing. Addison learns just how much one can mean to you and how happy one can make you in life. Despite what she does, Hayden sticks by her side realizing his own mistake in the event and they push forward through it all, meanwhile two sisters discover each other and bond like they've never been a part, both with so much talent.

This book is recommended for mature audiences due to sexual content however I do not believe it has as much as the first in the series. Highly recommended read to those who do not mind such content.

Book 1 of the Star Series - Starburst:

Allie is a 17 year old spoiled "rich bitch" according to everyone and always gets her way. She also happens to be Trevas assignment for the next 6 weeks.

What do you think will happen? Most people have not been able to handle Allie who still acts like a child most times. Will Trevas be able to handle his assignment and for 6 weeks? He thinks so and vows to make it happen some how and refuses to put up with Allies behavior. After all he's got her father to answer to who happens to be a very big director.

As fate would have it there's a strong attraction between Trevas and Allie. But Allie is just a minor and Trevas is there to do a job and does not intend on giving in and risking going to prison over Allie. There may be a growing love between them but will it ever amount to anything? What do you think will happen? 

Overall great story. I completely fell in love with the characters and would highly recommend this book to anyone who is ok with language and sexual content.

Take Me by J. Kenner

Another great read by J. Kenner. Perfect ending to the trilogy. I loved all of it. With any series you read you hope for a solid ending. This book provides that solid ending for the trilogy you should have just read. And while the trilogy is over, the story still goes on further in this book and in Jamie's story. 

Through out the series you've read about Damian Stark and how he has all these secrets that stem from his past but yet he has so much love for Nikki. And Nikki also comes from a trouble past though different from Damian, still the same. Theses two could not have been more perfect for each other, they offer the strength they both needed to really fully move past their pasts and live in the present and plan for the future. 

Damian has finally opened up and Nikki has finally let her mom have it. But what does the future hold for Damian and Nikki as a couple? Well I guess you'll have to read it to find out. 

Strong sexual content in this book. If you don't like reading about the happenings between a man and a woman in a relationship, then this book is not for you. If you don't mind that type of thing, I highly recommend this book. The story line is beautiful and you get to watch the pair discover some very important things.

Complete Me by J.Kenner

I must say, I wasn't sure I could do it. After reading the first two I felt they had sufficient endings I could have stopped there but I knew there was another after each and continued to read on. This one had the ending I had hoped. 

It was a bit difficult for me to get through the whole book. I suppose to be there was just too much of the same thing or rather is seemed to drag on a bit but I never put a book down because there is always a turn around in every story that draws you back in and this one...absolutely the best. I am very satisfied with the ending and highly encourage reading this book.

Overall, the author has done it again with another great book to the start trilogy and a very beautiful ending. It was very touching to me, had me close to tears (had to remind myself, it's just a book, a story). 

Two people with the most unlucky of pasts find each other back in the first book. By the time you get to this book they have a very solid relationship. A relationship geared to last. So it's very unexpected what takes place and you have to wonder what the outcome will bee. Will their relationship survive in the end? They are each others rocks and strength, what keeps them holding on and moving forward despite all that life is throwing at them. And just when you think you've figured it out and saved the bubble you live in, life throws you for another loop. Only together can they survive but will they do the unthinkable in order to save the other?

Mature content throughout the entire book, suitable for mature audiences who enjoy reading all aspects of a relationship. Highly recommend despite my struggle through the middle of the book. Loved it!

This is one of the cutest stories I have read. Love, Money, a Security Dog and a Sweet Little Pooch all in one with a little bit of mystery thrown into the mix.

Vince is one very lucky guy if you ask me. All he has to do is one thing in order to inherit billions of dollars from his Aunt. But to Vince, it sure does seem like his unlucky day getting stuck with a rich pooch that doesn't even closely fit his style, or his look for that matter. What big buff guy is going to be seen with a primp and proper rich pooch that costs more than anything he owns. But that rich pooch might just be the reason he meets the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. Will Vince come to love Mimi the little rich pooch or will he still wish he didn't get stuck with the job? 

Sophie is a French Nanny who just happens to be in the park at just the right time to meet Vince. And will become Mimis Nanny soon enough. After having accepted the position and doing as she normally would, she begins to have things happen to her and Sir Galahad comes to her and Mimi's rescue.

Claim Me by J. Kenner

The Second Book in the Stark Trilogy, just as great as the first. This book was hard to put down. I absolutely loved it and look forward to the next in the Trilogy. 

Damien Stark as we know has a past that hurts him and he's used his pain to make something of himself. He's actually become quite the billionaire. But all the money in the world couldn't prepare him for Nikki Fairchild. 

Nikki fled from her mothers grasp as soon as she could. All the things her mother did robbed Nikki of her childhood as it did her sisters. With the passing of her sister Nikki couldn't hold herself together anymore and dealt with her pain in a much different fashion than did Damien. But Nikki is smart. She has the ability to make something of herself and has just begun to work towards that goal and with the help of Damien she might just be able to succeed and finally believe in herself. But can she deal with the truth of Damien's past? Will the truth break her and push her away or will it only strengthen their very powerful love that they have yet to even realize during their times of need. 

They use each other for what feels good. They are each others backbone with things get tough. But will Damien let Nikki in so she can be there for him as much as he is for her, or will he ultimately push her away losing possibly losing the one person he has come to love so much....

This book contains a large amount of sexual content and is in my opinion based around the very sexual and powerful relationship of Damien Stark and Nikki Fairchild.

Wild Ride (A Changing Gears Novel) by Nancy Warren

I absolutely loved this book. I don't want to spoil the book with my review but lets just say this is a great story. A love story of course, with a mini love story in between everything and it's a bit of a mystery. The characters in the story don't seem the least bit likely to end up together and yet they are perfect matches all the way around.

You've got the love that got away when they were younger and her hero. The lady so sexy you wouldn't believe her job and her hero the dark and mysterious stranger in town.  Mix that in with the mystery of who done it and how and you've got the all around great book.

This book does have a bit of sexual content and isn't recommended for younger audiences.

Kiss a Girl in the Rain (Take A Chance Book 1) by Nancy Warren

This is a great book! I absolutely loved it. I fell in love with the characters from the start.

Evan Chance had a great life, money, career, his family, and his girlfriend. But when his birthday approaches and his bucket list from when he was 12 turns up courtesy of his mom, things change for Evan. He takes his girlfriend to meet his family which doesn't go well, and some life changing events happen setting him on his mission to complete his bucket list. Once he starts it, he doesn't make it very far through because he's unexpectedly drawn into this little town starting with one incident and with someone wanting to be #6 on his bucket list.

The way I see it, fate kept him there and brings him and Caitlyn together even if only planned for a short time. And before you know it, they are experiencing things they are not even yet ready to admit to each other because they had an understanding. But let's just say fate takes care of all thing. Of course you'll have to read the book to understand how.

My favorite part of the book: well normally it's that part leading up to the admission. That point where the characters are just figuring out their feelings but haven't said anything. But in this book, there was another part that touched me even more and had me pretty emotional and having to fight back tears at the events. But I loved it!. I also love that the Author doesn't bore you with the details dragging on the introductions of the characters. And don't get me started with the ending. It was simply perfect for this book. I highly recommend this book. Once you read it, you'll discover the other key factor that helped bring these two together...

Fast Ride (A Changing Gears Novel) by Nancy Warren

I loved this book for a few reasons. It jumps right into the story and keeps you hooked from the beginning. I read the book straight through from beginning to end. 

In the book you've got your two main characters who meet because of a purposeful incident. 

Nell is basically trying to get away from what was and figure out where she wants to go. But she wasn't prepared for what happens and how it affects her.

Wes didn't know what was coming when it hit or rather when he hit it. And he's thrown into Nell's life in an instant and stuck there under doctors orders for the time being. 

During the events of his stay, Nell is told by the doctor to just go with it and so she does which is different than what she ever expected when coming to this town to get away. Eventually both are aware of the same thing but don't say anything because they are too in the moment with what they want. But in the end everything always comes out right. 

I loved the story all the way through. The only thing that I might could have had more of in the story is the Mysterious Motorcycle Shop called Changing Gears. When you read the description, in my opinion, you get the impression that there is going to be more in the book about this shop than there is. Despite that, I still loved how it played out. I picked up on it right away what the shop was capable of though it was not what I expected. This is a definite must read that I highly recommend and I cannot wait to read the other books in the series.
